Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Next Epstein didn't kill himself.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I don't think that's a crazy town perspective.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
Today at noon on fifty five KR, see the talk station.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Five o five, a fifty five krc DE talk station.
Happy Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Some said, will.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
A vacation and that's the way the news goes.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yes, it is, and I'm happy today to you Brian
Thomas right here, glad to be, glad to see Jus
Jrekor where he belongs in the executive producer booth and
looking at a rundown. I really have a smile on
my face about this morning. Coming up on the fifty
five KR Scene Morning Show seven o five, the return
of Orlando Sonza. I guess in one of his final
acts is the head of the Human County Veterans Services Commission.

(01:04):
He's going to be telling us about the Hemlon County
Veteran Military and Veterans Appreciation Day coming up August twenty
third community celebration including Veterans resource fair, music, entertainment of
kid's own food, trucks, fireworks, and a whole lot more.
And we'll learn a whole lot more from Orlando Sons
at seven o five. I'll also ask him about his
new role in the Trump administration because Trump has appointed

(01:25):
him to be Counselor for the Civil Rights Division for
the US Department of Justice. Congratulations on the position, Orlando Sanza.
He's a good man. Yeah, he's got a future and
a bright one. I do believe, really one of the
few candidates I've ever written a check for. Guy still

(01:45):
pisses me off. He didn't beat Greg Landsman anyway. Smithman
will return on Christopher Smithman at seven thirty. Of course,
he was at the event yesterday hosted by v V
Ramaswami I suppose and co hosted by Christopher Smithmanent. I
did watch it stream The video live yesterday from Jim
and Jacks looked like it was fairly well attended, accord
to local reporting, a thousand people at least RSVP or

(02:08):
suggested that they were going to show up. I don't
know what the final head count was. The camera angle
didn't really kind of give you a clear view of
the attendance within Jim and Jacks, which a pretty sizable place,
but some very passionate comments, some really heart wrenching stories
from citizens in the audience who are victims of crime

(02:29):
and get some of the details on that, but we'll
talk about that with Christopher get his reaction, what he
thought about the event, and whether he thinks it'll bear
any fruit. The point was, I mean, it did turn it.
It was a bit of a campaign rally. Yes, d
v Ramasami is running for governor, and he did talk
about his future administration a lot. You know, how things
are going to change. I do believe him, and he's man,
I'm telling you that guy is sharp. I had his

(02:53):
level of eloquence, and of course Corey Bowman was there.
He said a few words, couple of words, and there
were a couple of other politicians so folks runs for
since a city council that also chimed in. But really
I kind of felt bad about the event, only in
the sense that when you hear the gut wrenching stories
from people who've been victims of crime, and you step

(03:14):
back and you say, what is the answer, what is
the solution? I do believe it was Rales farm. I mean,
he did point out we've got a couple of things here.
We've got a law enforcement element, but we've also got
an aspiraling, out of control social problem on our hands.
You know, pointed to the to the deterioration of the
nuclear family. You know, if these children are running amuck,

(03:36):
they don't have a home life, they don't have anyone
at home who cares a wit about where they are
at any given moment. They aren't being taught ethics and morals.
They'd go to a school system if they go that
certainly does not engage in anything that you and I
would consider well quality education. Of course, there's a lot
of indoctrination that goes on in schools, but you know,

(03:57):
where are the where are the ethical and I'm thinking
role models is the figure in these children's lives. These
people's lives, and you know, parents who commit crimes and
don't care about their children end up having children that
commit crimes. It's just a vicious cycles. So this is, like,
you know, I think, as he suggested, it's a long

(04:19):
term project that we all have to get our heads around,
and you just can't flip a switch and change that.
Sarah Herringer in my program refer to these and I
know that the people who were involved in that fight
that's led to all of this discussion that the beat
down is. Everyone in the national media is referring to
it as and I think appropriately. So those are all adults,

(04:43):
at least they appeared to be on the video. I
can't draw any conclusions, but the vast majority of the
seem to be emancipated adult age folks involved in this
kind of behavior and that kind of violence, I suppose
can be arguably, it can be argued is learned mom
and dad are out doing that kind of thing, or dad,
as the case may be, maybe Mom, there were some

(05:05):
women involved in the violence. You know, children are going
to mimic what they see and act as they see
their authority figures acting perhaps and then pivot over to politicians.
This has been an ongoing problem or a comment from
Christopher Smithman, you have the lack of leadership in the
sense that, you know, leading the community in a more
positive direction, speaking in support of law enforcement. A lot

(05:27):
of conversation about that last night, you know, showing just
embracing law enforcement. Not enough of that from our leadership
as matter of fact, you know, and you look at
the guy like I have to have purval. He's pretty
much on the defund the police side of the political ledger.

(05:49):
Things may change, though there's a meeting today and since
the city Council. They got some ideas about changing the
structure of law enforcement, maybe because of the meeting last night,
maybe because people have been clamoring for it, maybe because
they have an appreciation of the epic failure. I mean,
you know, Police Chief Fiji can say all that she
wants about how normal and regular was for three events

(06:09):
to be that large downtown and really this it's generally
been safe when we've done this before, but things got
out of hand. Yeah, things tend to get out of
hand when there's an extra one hundred thousand people in
any given area. I mean, you got to anticipate that
problem and maybe, you know, allocate resources better next time.

(06:29):
Maybe allocate resources better the first time. I don't know,
but you know, they're going back to my point. I
felt like, you know, we all want things to be better.
There was, you know, a lot of ideas offered by
way of improvement and law enforcement. Let's see what Orlando,
changing bail and bond systems to keep your favor, repeat

(06:50):
offenders in jail, reopening psychiatric facilities because we have a
serious mental health problem and you can't overlook that. I mean,
I believe it was the Kennedy administration you know one
flow over the cuckoos. Noess, Oh my god, people being
abused in these psychiatric facilities. So what do they do?
They shut basically shut them all down. Some of the
people out there on the street have serious psychological problems

(07:13):
and really do need to be committed to an institution
where they can get to help they need. How long
is that going to take? You just don't flip a
switch and bam, there's all brand new psychiatric facilities stuffed
with doctors and all the medical resources they need to
run one of those, the beds, the food. I mean,
that's a that's a long term project right there. I

(07:34):
do believe it is definitely needed. Hire officers, empower them
to do their job. He said, Yeah, we've talked about that.
With the enforcing the curfew, the officers have been instructed
to not enforce the curfew. A curfew that's on the books,
one that might help deal with the youth crime that's
running them up in downtown Cincinnati. That's an idea, isn't it?

(07:57):
Increase prison sentence, as he said, where necessary, and fostering
a culture that celebrates the rule of law rather than
to villainize it. And that goes back to that rather
longer term project, changing the hearts and minds of people
who have already been sort of brainwashed into thinking the
police are in evil force out to do us no good.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Said.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
We need to bring back accountability every level, from police
being able to do their jobs and communities accountable into
being able to follow the law, all the way to
accountability back into the family again. Short term solutions in
terms of changing law enforcement strategy, long term strategy to
deal with the broader social realities we seem to be

(08:39):
facing right now. No quick fixes, though everybody wants a
quick fix, and I certainly can agree with that. Yeah,
if I could flip a switch and change the reality
of it, I would. I'd love to. Every politician in
office would love to be able to do that. But
sometimes these the change that got us here, this cultural

(09:04):
deterioration was building up over time. Okay, so we didn't
just flip the switch and turn it from some you know,
Warden June Cleaver. And that's not a suggestion of racist
all pure white. I'm talking about, you know, treating each
other with respects, speaking with a proper language, you know,
not engaging in criminal activity. No, you know, not no,

(09:24):
fifteen year olds out on the streets with guns. It
seems to be a rather more recent phenomenon, but that
builds up over time. Then you wake up one day
and you think the whole world's just literally fallen apart. Well,
it was baby steps along the way to where we
got here. Now we're going to need baby steps to
walk us back to a more moral and ethical world
and the key to that. And I think he's onto something.

(09:46):
The Nuclear Family, which I do believe. He used words
along the lines of the most powerful political organization that exists,
the Nuclear Family. Oh look, this never happens. Somebody got shot.

(10:06):
Happened this morning here in Cincinnati. Man fighting for his
life got shot as he left the Cincinnati nightclub early
this morning, one thirty in the morning. Gunfire erupted outside
of Brandy's Ultra Sports Lounge on Reading Road in Roselawn.
Officers got there in three minutes, according to the local
reporting Fox nineteen. I'll give him credit for it. Found

(10:30):
the victim shot in the abdomen and one of his legs.
Courting staff Captain Stephen Bauer, man in his thirties or forties,
taking a UC medical center with what they describe as
life threatening injuries. Not clear what led to the violence
or if police have any suspects. Joe, this is becoming
a theme on the morning show. Oh you send me

(10:51):
another one? While I was talking two shootings and over
since I had police investigating two count them separate shootings
and over the Rhine Late Monday, eleven, ten pm, sixteen
hundred Blocker Republic Street Final thirty six year old man
shot in his buttocks, no arrest made, victim taking to

(11:17):
UC Medical Center non life threatening injuries, and the over
the Rhine shooting man who was shot in his left
hand walked himself to UC hospital happened at seven thirty
pm yesterday. Recorded Captain Bauer say the victim was uncooperative,
but did say the shooting occurred in the seventeen hundred
block of Ein Street.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
I thought it was rather interesting. There was a counter
protest across from Jim and Jack's. Protesters holding signs saying
that we love our city and Cincinnati is United against racism.
Channel five reporting on this. One protester's main point in
the article, it says, was to argue that sin is

(12:01):
a safe place to live, work, and play. One College
Hill resident interviews. I think it's important my daughters understand
standing up for themselves and understanding the world we're living in,
and they feel safe here. This is their home, and
this is what we want to see moving forward, is
a safe Cincinnati for everybody. I don't even know what

(12:23):
that means. You think that was the word salad, Joe,
this is what we want to see kind of makes
me scratch my head to wonder what specifically this is
that she's referring to. She expressed frustrations saying this insane
music festival is being framed as unsafe. Well, I asked

(12:48):
the people who are in the middle of the brawl.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Opinions are like sphincters. We all have them. Many in
the city of Cincinnati feel very unsafe. And of course
the message has gone out over this great land of
ours in the recent couple of weeks. Is the projecting
a message that it is not safe? Five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
talk on five fifty on AT and T phones. Feel

(13:14):
free to call comment, love to hear from me. You'll be
right back.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Station Our.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
iHeartRadio Music Festival, Capital Channel nine First warning weather forecast.
What we got going on today? Partly flotty sky is isolated.
Afternoon storms are possibility after three pm. They suggest eighty
three for the high today, down to sixty seven overnight
to be a little bit human and mostly clear sky. Sunny,
sky is mar the rain, slight rain chance in the afternoon.

(13:43):
Eighty four for the high overnight sixty six to see
flounds now partly thirty Thursday heat building up storm chances. Well,
they stopped for several days to say it's going to
be a dry weekend. Eighty eight for the high on Thursday.
It's seventy degrees right now. I five KRC the talk
station five one here but about Garrison d talk station,

(14:08):
I mean finished a run down and stuff went off
on a tangent about that town hall with Vva Ramaswammi
and Christopher Smith hadmen last night inside Scoop with the
bright Bart news Dato five of the return of Deputy
news director Bradley Jay. We talked about the Democrats fleeing
the state House preventing a vote on redistricting. There, Trump
telling Schumer to go to hell, and he did. Plus

(14:29):
the story about the labor statistician being fired by Trump.
Trump not happy with the labor figures, so he gets
rid of the person delivering the message. Talk that about
that the other day with Money Monday's Brian James Daniel
Davis Deep Dive looking forward to having Daniel Davis saw,
not that I don't always look forward on to it,
but Ukraine now seeking cash to pay new recruits due

(14:52):
to the manpower shortage in their military. Valunski actually signed
a law now allowing Ukrainians over the age of sixty
to join the military in non combat roles. Of course,
you get the old people in the non combat roles,
freeing up the people in the non combat roles who
are of a younger age to send them to the
front lines to presumably die. Plus guide developments in Israel,

(15:15):
Israel's Government's likely to approve a plan to reoccupy Gaza.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
HMM.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Got a stalemate with the hostage situation. The Hamas terrorists
aren't releasing the hostages and people are starving to death.
I can summarize that entire conflict as a Charlie Fox tribe.
It's just a tragedy human tragedy, but pivoting over, there
are always bright spots out there in the world. And
I mentioned the other day someone had sent me the

(15:42):
link to the give Send Go page for Holly, the
woman that got the beat down in the riot. Well
I call it a riot anyway. The poor woman who
seemed to be just rendering eight and got cole Cox
square in the face without any provocation. Just out of nowhere,
a fully grown man wales on her, knocks her to
the ground and knox her unconscious. We've all I hope

(16:04):
you've seen the video. I think it illustrates the tragedy
of the event more than any anything. But yesterday I
read the figure on the Gifts Send Go page. They
had raised as of yesterday three hundred and ninety thousand dollars.
The goal was twenty five thousand dollars, and the person
who set up props to a guy named Benny Johnson

(16:24):
for setting the page up. As of this morning four
hundred and sixty three thousand, four hundred and eighteen dollars.
That's pretty dang amazing. And she has already issued a
statement how appreciative she is to everybody in the community
who stepped up to the plate. And these are small donations, folks,

(16:45):
a little ten dollars here, fifteen dollars there. Some people
have gone up to one hundred dollars, but the vast
majority of the four hundred and sixty three thousand dollars
that's been raised has been by virtue of small contributions.
Every little bit counts, So thank you to every buddy
who made a donation for her recovery. She apparently is
struggling with some obviously the physical injuries, but maybe some

(17:06):
lasting perhaps cognitive problems and other lasting injuries. So one
can only pray for her speedy recovery. But gosh darn it,
isn't it a wonderful thing to see people out there
that don't have any connection where they step up and
help her out. Cheers to all of you for doing that.
Five twenty five fifty five KRCIT talk station. You know,

(17:28):

Who's first, Joe, Tom, Welcome to the program, Diane, You're next,
just on one moment. Good to hear from you.

Speaker 7 (19:12):
Tom.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Happy Tuesday, Yeah, good morning.

Speaker 7 (19:15):
Sad state of affairs that we have here in this area,
and it really shouldn't be this much of a struggle,
or it's not a struggle, but people act like it's
a struggle to figure out what's going on here. It's
pretty obvious. People have to have guardrails in their life.
There have to be boundaries put in front of them
so that they understand you are not allowed to do that,

(19:39):
you're not allowed to go there, that's not okay, that
will hurt or something. And that starts obviously when you're young,
and clearly there are people who didn't have that still
don't still don't have that. So unfortunately, it's up to
society when these people, whether whether they're whether they're young
kids or teenagers, are grown adults and they go into

(20:00):
the world, it's it's up to society to have things
in place, and that the Democrat leadership in this and
many other cities and states have have ridiculously failed uh
their constituents, their citizens by not making sure that there
are guardrails in place to protect the rest of the citizens.

(20:22):
And that's that's just simply what it boils down to.
So we we got to I mean, we got to
make sure that we're not putting people in there who
don't care about the safety of the rest of their citizens.
I mean, it's that simple, Brian. So it shouldn't have
to believe, it shouldn't have to be up to society

(20:43):
to raise people and teach them right and wrong. But
if they're not going to learn at home, and then
there's the part of how do we stop incentivising people
that just have kids and not give a crap about
them and.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Actually came up yestually, I think it was the Vake
Ramaswami who brought that up that you know, the Johnson
administration encouraged women to well not to leave their men,
or basically it was a disincentivized plan where you pay
women and the women get more money if their man
is not in their life, the father of the children,

(21:21):
and that through the nuclear family on top of its head,
you created this system that encourages women to have no
connection with the father because that way they get more money.
And that is just it's a terrible outcome that we've
had over in that last several generations. As a consequence
of that, it creates government dependence. I mean that's kind
of maybe the nefarious goal behind the program in the

(21:41):
first place. You know, fathers were there and they were
required to pay for the up raising and upbringing and
costs associated with raising children. Then you know, that would
take the burden off society and it may put a strong
male figure in their life that might do some good.
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
Yeah, and look, there's there's dudes out there that they're
not great dads. We as fathers, we've all failed. You
can't replace There is no replacement for that. And unfortunately
it's not just society that gives these women and and
sentive to leave their man. I mean, there's families that

(22:18):
do that. There are Let's say you have a girl,
she gets pregnant, she's not married, she's just dating some
boy and gets pregnant, and mom and dad or whatever,
parents they don't like that boy. There's something, you know,
there's some things that they don't like about them whatever,
and they you know, and and maybe mom and dad
now or the woman is pregnant and her boyfriend, they're

(22:40):
not getting along. So family that had just come home,
come home. We'll take care of you, and we'll make
sure the boy doesn't bother you. That's that child's father.
That cannot be discounted and just thrown away. You may
be a adult to bravo whatever you want to them,
but that's the kid's dad. And at some point you

(23:04):
can't just go. Don't worry about it. We'll take care
of the kids.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yes, what does that do? I mean, that's I mean,
it's obviously you're illustrating how complicated the whole thing is. Yes,
I mean that's just one little, you know, hypothetical of
a complicated problem. And I'm not sure that we could
come up with an ultimate solution. But the prospect or
the idea of incentivizing women to not you know, get

(23:32):
married or otherwise, you know, create a nuclear family, have
the father involved in the upbringing and raising of children,
just because of the monetary incentive. I mean, that seems
like perhaps an easy fix. I don't know, Maybe we
should do a better job of going after the fathers
who are absent and force them to pay child support.
Child support.

Speaker 7 (23:49):
Yeah, when it comes down to it, you got you know,
we're here, You and I are talking about this, and
whoever's listening, we're having this conversation. We're not in that
family's living or in dealing with it directly. We're just
we're part of the society that we have to deal
with those kids when they come out of home, when
they walk in the streets, when they're doing whatever. And

(24:10):
it shouldn't it shouldn't have to wait till that point,
but we do. And Democrats have proven that they are
not interested in fixing the problem. They're insteativizing it and
it gives them whatever the heck it is they get
out of it so they can stay in power, whatever
it is. That is not the solution. It has proven
over and over again, and not just Cincinnati, but in

(24:32):
pretty much every city. Democrat policies don't work. They don't
fix anything. In fact, they only make it worse. So
don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Have a great day, Bruce, Diane, thank you for holding.
Welcome to the Fty five Kercy Morning Show.

organ donor, or explore a living donation. And you see
how dot com slash transplant high ways are doing fine
early on this Tuesday morning. Oh I work crews wrapped
up and done, and so far I'm seeing no troubles
into downtown. Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Five forty one, Happy Tuesday. If I went three seven,
four ninety two to three talk on Fact fifty on
eighteen t phones. Gotta go straight to the phones because
Pete was kind enough to hold over the break. Welcome
in the program, Pete, thanks for holding.

Speaker 10 (28:32):
Hey, thanks Brian.

Speaker 11 (28:34):
Jumping back to this thing where they incentivize women to have.

Speaker 12 (28:37):
Kids and get more money, like a.

Speaker 11 (28:40):
Side byproduct of that is is that the fathers, if
once once they're in this situation, they do try to
hold them.

Speaker 12 (28:49):
As possible, but then they can never get a regular
paying job on the books because they take so much
of their money that they stayed Brokens. I mean, I'm
not sympathized with them, but it forces them or doesn't
force them, but it directs them.

Speaker 13 (29:04):
Towards crime or crummy jobs.

Speaker 11 (29:06):
So it's like a self perpetuating death.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Wait a minute, you're saying. You're saying hold holding the
father of children responsible for paying for their upbringing. It's expensive,
is a problem because they might have to go to work.
I used to work in the domestic relations court. I
used to sit in hearings about this all the time.

Speaker 14 (29:26):
That's not what I'm saying.

Speaker 11 (29:27):
I'm saying that they should hold responsible. But what the
Democrats start is by incentivizing these women that had kids.
But then the fathers are in like under the table
jobs and stuff.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Not in all cases. No, see, you're painting the too
broad of a brush, Pete. Some people actually go out
and get jobs. In the old days, I used to
work in domestic relations. You require the father to go
out and prove that they actually went out and applied
for jobs, actually did some follow up. They checked with
the employers. Did this guy actually present an application for employment?
What happened? Did you hire him or not? Did he

(30:02):
show up for the interview? I mean, you know, there
are steps you can take, and there are checks and places.

Speaker 10 (30:07):
And they all do that.

Speaker 12 (30:08):
I just said, there's some time creating this.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Well, okay, there's no perfect solution for anything, but trying
to hold them accountable, I think is better than not
at all. Got lots of jobs available out there, lots
of jobs available out there. Jay, Welcome to the program.
Happy Tuesday, Hey, Happy Tuesday.

Speaker 15 (30:31):
Brian, Hey, I would love if you guys could to
get Vince Everett Ellison back on. You guys had him
on a couple times, and I think the timing would
be perfect for the listeners who don't know. He was
part of the Million Man March and a follower of
Farakhan years ago, and as a black man, he later

(30:53):
figured out that he agrees with everything that the conservatives
stand for, and then he really started digging into the
question of how did we, how did how did the
black community end up where they're at? And he wrote
a fantastic book called The Iron Triangle, And in there
I I read and learned about lbj's famous comment that

(31:16):
the quote and I won't use.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
The word yeah last night, I think yeah, oh did
it okay?

Speaker 5 (31:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (31:26):
He he And we can't say it enough because you
won't ever hear about this in history class and schools.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
But LBJ said that.

Speaker 15 (31:33):
The black community was quote getting up aty and he
had to give them something. But don't worry because once
we give them something, those n words will vote will
vote Democrat for two hundred years. And Ellison goes on
in his book to talk about how the iron triangle
is what is putting. What put the Black community back
into slavery was the Democrat Party, uh, he said, black

(31:57):
preachers and also community organizers. Those are the three points
of the iron triangle that now puts black people voluntarily
back in at bonds, back into slavery because if you
take the check and take the deal, and a deal
from the government sounds like this, We'll give you something

(32:18):
in the form of cash and keep you just sustained
and will be your father, will be your provider, will
be your everything, and in return it will will you
show up and you vote Democrat And I would love
I think the timing's perfect because I think he's got

(32:39):
the only solution. He's got the credibility that a lot
of us don't have given his background to say, look,
I think I figured it out and so in a
powerful speaker too.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
You love that guy.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I was just going to say that because I recall
talking to him about that book and he is quite
the powerful speaker. So excellent idea, Jamie. We can get
that accomplished.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
We'll soon all you bring what you do.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Thanks man, And yes, that quote came up last night
during the town hall meeting with the Big Ramaswami and
Christopher Smith Aman five forty six fifty five KR. See
the talk station stack a stupid coming up or phone calls.
Either way you want to go, it's okay with me,
but either way you go get your images, echo cardigrams, MRI,
CT scans, ultra sounds, ACT rays at affordable imaging services
where you save thousands of dollars. Yeah, I mean that's

(33:26):
it's just it's truth. There's low overheaded affordable imaging services,
but you get the same type of equipment. Hospitals use
the same echo cardiogram machine or MRI or CT scan.
I've had multiple CT scans and even an MRI affordable
imaging services. Never a question or a comment by my
doctor the images are fine. You get a board certified
radiologist report in the price. So rather than paying five

(33:46):
thousand dollars at a hospital for a CT scan, how
about four hundred and fifty bucks without a contrast six
hundred with just one. Illustration of the massive, massive savings,
asked my listener friend Fred. He saved six thousand dollars
six grand by just exercising his choice to get the
images of affordable imaging services to locations. You got the
one on I colds Road. Now you have one a

(34:07):
New Richmond, just off the first exit from I seventy
and the Ohio Indiana border. So head on over to

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Five fifty one, fifty five krcit the talk station, Happy
Tuesday because straight to the phones. Got Cory on the
line with take Corey's call before we get to the
stack of stupid Corey. Thanks for calling this morning after Tuesday.

Speaker 13 (35:30):
Happy Tuesday. Brian I said that I guess my biggest
takeaway from that last night was the fact that Hamilton
County is getting six million dollars to keep sellings on
the street and not in prison. I think I was
pretty well read on stopping up to date on things,
and that was a shocker for me.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Was that in connection with that, what non governmental organization
out there getting the funding and what they do is
help keep felons on the street. That's their their role
and their purpose. Is that? Is that my record recollection
correct on that.

Speaker 13 (36:02):
Yeah, I forget the exactly what was called, but yeah,
that's pretty much the gist of it that Hamison County
receives the most money out of any county in the
entire state to purposely keep sellons on the street and
not in the jail.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (36:17):
And all the people that you know gave the coveraging
stories being victims of violent crime. The perpetrators are always
repeat the finders. It's the same group doing it over
and over and over again with no consequences.

Speaker 6 (36:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
And Sarah Herringer spoke on that to that specific point.
That guy was out on out of jail with the
monitor ankle monitor that he cut off, and you kind
of scratch your head and wonder, well, how is it
possible if he's got an ankle monitor that he could
cut it off and then roam freely. There's a new
monitoring system in place for that. Maybe that's a fix
we could get in place. I don't appreciate it, Corey,
thanks for reminding me about that. I one that I

(36:54):
didn't forget from the meeting. Anyway, We've got a quick
stack of stupid story in here. Got go to Florida
and why not. Woman facing charges after allegedly spraying bear
mace at a driver and her passenger in a road
rage enginent involving a chicken. Thirty eight year old Cynthia
Velesik dis Sosa arrested in Key West after a confrontation

(37:16):
with another driver so parallel de Miller's the woman who
got maced. She stopped her car in the roadway so
as it did to let a chicken pass, but de Miller,
who was behind the wheel of a vehicle behind Miss Sosa,
honked and swerved around her, and in so doing ran
over the bird. According the affidavit attained by Fox News Digital,

(37:38):
Cynthia wanted to teach her a lesson that's gonna say.
So's allegedly followed de Miller's vehicle, forced it to stop,
yanked on the driver's door and then sprayed bear mace
into the cabin, hitting de Miller in the face. Charged
Sos with two counts of aggravated battery, which her feloning
is one kind of burglar with a salt or battery,
first degree phony taking a custody released on a thirty

(37:59):
five thousand dollar bond. Court records indicates Sosa had filed
a written plea of not guilty t Miller. The woman
in the car got sprayed, was on her way to
pick up her children from daycare, blinded and disoriented by
the spray. A passenger in her car also got hit.
According to the arrest report, after the woman struggled over

(38:20):
the car door, so it's an unleashed bear mace into
the vehicle, hitting the miller directly in the face. So
as A later drove herself to the police station. Levey
told authorities that she did what she did was which
was angry at the miller had killed the chicken, but
then drove away from the police department after doing that.
Later located and detained during a traffic stop free under
shirty bomb with court imposed restriction and scheduled for arrangement,

(38:43):
arraignment and this doesn't happen every day. A fire broke
out in village of Ashcroft of the British Columbia. Firefighters
called to respond got there found folks battling the flames.
Forty eight hundred gallons of water had to be used
to put it out. The cause a fish. Ashcraft Fire

(39:03):
officials in a Facebook post a quick investigation revealed the
cause of this fire was determined to be a fish. Yes,
you read that right. The fish had an incredible journey,
considering the river is three kilometers east from the point
of origin. Officials determine that an osprey that hunts fish
dropped the fish onto a power line, impact, sending sparks

(39:24):
and embers flying onto the dry brush, which triggered the fire.
According to the post from the fire department, we do
suspect the size of the fish and the heat of
the day probably caused the rather tired bird to drop
its catch, or another suspicion could be that it's tired
of raw fish and it wanted to give cooked fish
a try. The bird apparently unharmed, no injuries reported. A fish.

(39:51):
I don't think you can find the fish or the
bird for Arson Joe. I'm sure it was just an accident.
It's an element of men'srey, element in there of intent,
I believe with Arson five fifty six fifty five carresed
dog Stagent more coming up in the six o'clock. Of course,
I enjoy hearing from you. Feel free to chime in.
We'll dive into additional stories after the top of the hour.
News Today's top stories at the top of the hour.

(40:15):
It's information that matters to me. Fifty five kr see
the talk station telling about six or six fifty five
kr c the talks station by Commas, swishing and run
a very happy Tuesday. Invite you to listen to lunch
tomorrow Atweedam and Brewery. Always have a good time. We
go there. Listen to lunch for me is always a wonderful,
wonderful time. I really enjoy their conversations and the fellowship.

(40:36):
So that'll be tomorrow. You used about eleven thirty. Get
there a little bit, four, a little bit after. Either
way you want to slice it. As long as you
can show up, I think you might have a good time.
If you haven't been to one, you're more than welcome
to show up. Coming up fast forward an hour or
the return of Orlando Sanza. He's got a Hamilton County
Military and Veterans Appreciation days his role as head of
the Hamilton County Veterans Service Commission. Maybe one of his

(40:57):
final acts in the role, because he has been appointed
by the administration to serve as counsel for the Civil
Rights Division for the US Department of Justice. We'll get
his thoughts and comments about how what he's going to
be doing in that role. Orlando Sanza at seven oh five.
Christopher Smithman's going to join the program, of course. He
did the town hall yesterday with VV Ramaswaming. I did
watch the whole thing with my wife and I just

(41:20):
your heart breaks when you hear the stories from the
people in the audience who are just you know, desperate,
desperate for solutions. You know, whether or not it was
a racially motivated issue with the beatdown that occurred, the
problem is just representative of broader That is just representative
a broader problem of crime in the city of Cincinnati.
Some say there isn't a problem. Some say that we're

(41:42):
just making too much out of it, blown out of proportion.
But I mean the viral nature of that video and
the fact that it went global, that there's a reason
for that, And honestly, I personally don't believe that it
went global because of this, this whole question mark over
whether race was an involved in it or not. I
just think I had to do everything with the horrific

(42:04):
overreaction of a crowd of people to an altercation which
appeared to be between two people, and people out there
screaming about the guy who slapped the other, the white
guy who slapped the black guy, which some are suggesting
led to the whole melee that he should be charged. Well,
he may very well be. You can't just go around

(42:26):
hitting people. And if you're getting an oral of a
verbal altercation with someone, sometimes that can you know, devolve
into actual fisticuffs. Happens all the time, most of the
time not even bothered to be reported to the police department,
because most of the time it's resolved between the two
people in the fight and the rest of the crowd
doesn't join in and start wailing on people. So that

(42:47):
to me, as I believe the focus this the part
of the broader societal problem that was brought up at
last night's meeting. You know, we've got you know, maybe
an improper allocation of public safety resources is maybe you
need to rethink things. They're gonna be doing the Law
on Public Safety Committee meeting today where they're gonna be
talking about violence and potential solutions. Maybe some of the

(43:08):
solutions will you know, bear fruit and help talking about
two million dollars to recruit more police officers from other departments,
beef up security measures in the Cincinnati Central Business District
include walking and bike patrols, better widing security cameras. That's
part of the motion that since Ant Councilman Jeff Crammerton
submitted they'll be talking about today at the public Safety meeting.

(43:30):
All that sounds like fine, But then going back to
Ramaswamy's point about the broader problem, this this just de
evolution of society. And I think it was one of
the women who had experienced gun violence. She lost two
two of her children, two sons killed by firearms in downtown.

(43:56):
I mean, I don't know is that a coincidence, but
was a big question mark that was thrown in. I
can't remember if it was her, But what prompts a
teenager to think that he In most cases, I believe
it's males involved in this, but We'll say anybody that

(44:17):
they think they need to grab a firearm as a
first response to some perceived threat, maybe a social media
threat or something else. I mean, that's the default position
that a lot of young people are taking these days.
That is a massive problem. I mean, I'll be sixty
in September. I brought it up before. I mean, when
I was a younger person, Yes, have issues with people, absolutely.

(44:40):
Don't you remember what it was like being, you know,
in junior high school, social problems, dealing with people, trying
to find your place in the community and your click
or whatever. Are you a freak? Are you a stoner?
Are you a jock? Are you a raw rah? I mean,
you know, all these things that young people struggle with,
and now we've got social media piled on top of it,
and they've grown ups surrounded by violence. Not just maybe

(45:03):
in the community or the neighborhood, but look at what's
on in terms of what constitutes entertainment these days. When
I was younger, my mom and dad were very particular
about what I was allowed to watch on television. But
then again, we only had four channels, five, nine, twelve,
and nineteen, right, you know that it was easy to
prevent someone from logging into or or tuning into a
program that maybe it was adult in content, but look

(45:25):
at what the programming is now. I mean, lord almighty,
what's constituted adult content back then compared to now? I mean,
it basically has to be pornography to be considered adult content.
And yeah, your children are probably watching that too. But
the amount of violence and the horrific nature of the
violence and the bloody gore that is shown every single day,

(45:46):
and the conduct that's sort of illustrated in these Hollywood
productions suggests that it's appropriate to default to firing on
people or grabbing a firearm to well defend yourself or
maybe as the first response to some perceived threat. That's
not good, and the teenagers think that, I don't know,

(46:09):
that's a huge problem. What prompts a young person to
want to go down that road? I have no idea,
Council Member, Anna, I'll be It's reported the CPI reported
on this, taking a different approach from the the approach
offered by cameronon that I just mentioned, filing emotion to

(46:32):
use existing funds for community violence intervention specialists. Huh that
sound like rethinking the police department Joe, community violence intervention specialists.
You think it sounds stupid. I don't know what they do,

(46:56):
but can a community violence intervention specialists change the hearts
and minds of some really twisted perceptions that these young
people are carrying around with them. There's your long term plan.
Raymi Swami talked about that. Yes, we cannot rethink the police.
We can reorganize reality resources, do better policing some of

(47:19):
the other programs he mentioned, But dealing with the longer
term problems is just a huge, huge societal issue that
we're going to have to all face together. So I'm
not sure. Here's one nothing related to that. Help me
understand this? This actually, this made my blood boil a
little bit, unless I'm misunderstanding the reporting. I saw this

(47:44):
yesterday afternoon. Senate Republicans accusing the Transportation Security Administration for
helping kill a bill that would limit face scanning technologies.
This is reported over on Politico. Bipartisan support apparently for
this bill require TSA to notify every passenger of the
right to opt out of facial screenings at the airport

(48:06):
and limit the ability to store biometric information of passengers scanned.
This is like a Dave of Hatter issue. Do you
want them to keep that information? Are you consenting to
having your face scanned? I don't have a problem with
a you know, the obligation for us to be notified
about this. Apparently bipartisan support. The senators, as I'm reading,
charged that the TSA worked with the travel industry lobby

(48:30):
against this bill, causing it to be discarded at the
last minute while it was under consideration in the Senate
Commerce Committee. Wait a minute, who's elected here and who
has control over legislation? Right in this particular case, it's
the Senate Committee. It's got bipartisan support. Great Republicans and

(48:52):
Democrats embracing this. Now there's some naysayers, Fine, but how
is it that TSA and lobbyists can prevent the bill
from advancing. They don't have any control, they don't have
any authority. This sounds to me like capitulation by bunch
of senators to the whims and the will of the
TSA and lobbyist, which fly in the face of what

(49:14):
the senators wanted to do. I don't understand it. An
aide to Center Republicans told political the tssay's lobbying would
work against the confirmation prospects of Heinuwin mcgeil, who's currently
serving as the acting head of the agency. So they're
going to lobby against the confirmation of this McNeil person.
And what if the senators say, fine, sucks to be you, lobbyist,

(49:37):
We're not going to listen to you. We're going to
confirm her in that position. Anyway. Oh wow, they could
do that. Yes, they damn well could. Senator Jeff Merkley,
Democrat of Oregon, who has opposed facial scanning at airport,
so he's in favor of this bill. So the TSA
is acting like an authoritarian country surveilling its citizens. It's

(50:00):
been used to intimidate, to track, and to intimidate freedom
of expression and freedom of assembly, he says, of this
facial recognition stuff, So vote for it. Senator John Kennedy,
Republican Louisiana. The short answer is yes. The long answer
is hell. Yes, they're working like an ugly stripper to

(50:22):
kill this bill, which tells me that we are doing
the right thing. How could you kill it?

Speaker 6 (50:27):
Then?

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Is this illustrative of the power of lobbyists that they
have over our senators, that the senators would go against
what they want to do by way of legislation and
capitulate to the TSA. I know if I was in
that position, I had two words for him, and it
wouldn't be happy birthday, as my dad used to say. Yeah, okay, TSA,

(50:51):
your opinion and your lobbyist, you can go. Well, I'll

be an effort. You've been to the doctor, you've got
steroid injections. They don't last. Maybe you talked about surgery
with your physician. You're worried about the complications of surgery
and all the downtime associated with that. What if there's
a different path, What if there's another option that could
well free you from the pain, help your body heal

the talk station.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Six fifty five KRCD talk station Happy Tuesday. Yeah, And
Neil's of the meeting with the mayor and police chief
thej that happened on Friday, disappointing. It was police Chief
DJ that did say that she's going to be releasing
more video. Apparently we haven't seen the complete picture. And
a Christopher is on yesterday talking about this. This WWE

(53:39):
video he saw. That's what the parallel he drew is
where one guy is seen just leaping in the air
and landing on the victim multiple times. I hadn't seen
that one. I asked Christopher to post it on his
X page. I'm not sure if he'd done that yet.
And then Corey chimes in this morning and he said
the white guy was hit on the back of the
head before the slab. Now I haven't seen that. Yeah,

(54:01):
I guess I'm not the end all be all things
in terms of videos that are floating around out there
on this incident, but it would be nice, you know,
for the police chief to release the balance of the
video and then we can get it all streamed together
so we can get a complete picture of what led
to the well, ultimately Holly getting cole cocked in the face.
So you know, I'm gonna go start getting in fist fights,

(54:26):
getting a fistfights. But there's something this horse of a
different color. Yeah. Sarah Herringer did speak at the meeting
last night. Emotional, she was, and she said quite a
few of the things that she said on the fifty
five Camerassey Morning Show, and you can find that podcast
at fifty five careca dot com. She was in my
studio for a full hour. But remember the guy who
stabbed to death her husband in their apartment, Mordisha Black.

(54:49):
He was accused of fatally stabbing Patrick Herringer. He had
completed a nine and a half year prison sentence and
he then cut off his ankle monitor in February. And
that's kind of where the system fell up, heart because
no one went after him. It's kind of a big
floating question mark on whether a warrant was issued for
his arrest, whether anyone actively went out and looked for

(55:09):
this guy. I didn't see him on crime stoppers, for example.
She said, imagine this year, asleep, you wake up to
a man standing over your bed with a weapon. How
did he get there? Because someone made a decision, because
someone signed a paper, because someone did nothing. That's what
leadership looks like in Cincinnati. Negligence, silence, and cowardice. And
then you pivot over to a Felicia Zimmerman. And this

(55:32):
was a real heartbreaker and I couldn't believe what I
was hearing when she told her story, and she was,
you know, fighting back tears. She really was very emotional
because of course she should be. She lost two of
her sons. Two of her sons got murdered gun violence.
Seventeen year old Christopher Teeter shot dead in twenty twenty

(55:54):
one in South Fairmount at a gas station. His older brother,
Brian Bubba Teeter had been shot and killed four years earlier.
This woman lost two of her children to gun violence,
and she pointed out that the accomplices to Teeter's shooting
received short sentences. It was a horrific miscarriage of justice.
I mean, the basically a slap on the wrist in

(56:16):
the grand scheme of things, when you take a life,
I think you should get a lot more prison time
than these kids actually got. She said. The system has
broke from the bottom to the top.

Speaker 6 (56:25):
I'm out here.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
I'm out here tonight to search for solutions, so no
one else has to get up here and say what
I've said. But then she said this, I bet I'm
not the only woman in the city with two murdered children.
I put money on it. What kind of world is that?
That's a good question. Two children gunned down? I don't

(56:50):
what more can one say? Complicated, quite multi tiered process
to solve the problem, certainly going to be required here.

Got quite a few of those as well. But first
of all, a strong recommendation get in touch with my
plumber friends. Plump type plumbing company that knows you deserve better.
They deliver on that with better customer service, always a
great price, and excellent plumbing. That's what they deliver every time,
with no service fee, free estimates and a trip a
plus with a better business fear. Of course, they do

(57:32):
tankless water heaters. Plumb tight is the Tri State's number
one installer a tankless. Get tankless, Get rid of that
massive tank. Think how much space that freeze up. Got
a tankless water heater about the size of the medium
to small suitcase hanging on the wall. They deliver one
hundred percent hot water that never stops. As long as
your hot water tap is on, it's going to churn
out the hot water, so you never run out. They

(57:53):
last longer than a tank system as well, so uh
and happen to be energy savers because they only turn
on when the hot water is turned on. Also doing
trench the sewer line repair. If you got a problem
with your sewer line, have them come out and inspect it.
If there's a problem, they can fix it without digging
up your lawn. That is a great, great, great thing
because there's an extra heap of money you got to
pay to repair your lawn. Rely on the experts of

commented about that ankle monitoring problem at Mordisha blacks lack

an authoritative, independent review of Mordisha blacks lack of supervision

Heringer has exposed fatal gaps in the post release control

but the failures of the program cannot be reformed basedupon

said in my the Mayor of the City Council should
have already requested such an investigation, but they have not,
and that is not one of the proposals that was
brought up in the motion before the Law on Public

I would like to say you learn from the master,
but but I think just the more times you played
that wonderful game, and you know, obviously you can't pick
the cards you get, but it's always a pleasure, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Now, yeah, I told me that it does help to
keep an ace handy in your hands. Eddie on your
mind today.

Speaker 16 (01:01:00):
Mike, Yes, sir, just just a heartbreaking story there about
the woman that's lost both sons. I remember shortly after
I returned after active duty, when I came back home
to Cincinnati, the Inquirer, so it was either five and
six early in the in January February timeframe, they had
pictures of every homicide that took place in Cincinnati, and

(01:01:25):
it was, you know, full both pages, and I think,
to the best of my recollection, there couldn't have been
less than five white people. And the inquiry took heat
like you would not believe. And that was the last
time they did it. You know, sometimes you got to
look a problem, and here's this woman who lost both sons. Yeah,
you know, and here we are almost twenty years removed,

(01:01:47):
and obviously the problem hasn't got much better. And what
really irritated me out of that press conference on Friday.
You've already dissected what the mayor said, but when Scottie
Johnson got up there, I'm police officer and wagged his
finger at the assembled media there you know about running
in in a loop and how irresponsible that was. Well, sorry,

(01:02:09):
mister Johnson, this is called news. And unfortunately, and I
don't know what that says about society that we've had
thirty eight homicides in Hamilton County or downtown Cincinnati. But
it's like a twenty four hour news cycle because we
know the next one's coming. That beatdown that took occurred
on four Street, I personally have not No. I'm sure

(01:02:30):
Ian Riots maybe something similar like that happened, But as
far as what we saw on TV and just the
utter disgrace of humanity kicking people in the head like that,
and of course what Holly suffered, I had not seen
anything like that going all the way back when Reginald
Denny was pulled out of that truck post Rodney King
to where people just said no regard whatsoever, and literally

(01:02:53):
just how he survived that, how Holly survived that, How
some of these gentlemen survived those kind of kicks.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
To the head.

Speaker 16 (01:03:01):
And as we all know, I mean you look what
football players, you know go ten year, twenty years down
the road, with CTE what they may be facing. Yeah,
I mean, come on, mister Johnson.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Brain damage. Yeah, absolutely, it really is. You know, I'm
kind of at a loss for words this morning on
this whole thing. You know, you talk about it enough
in that town hall meetings beneficial as I think it
was for people to have an opportunity to get it
out of their system and talk and ask questions out loud.
You know, you walk away and you just you just
have this painful reality set hold in your head that

(01:03:35):
there's no easy fix for this. It's it's not bullet
there is no and we all want one. We're everybody
wants one. Black people, white people, everybody in any community
would want a solution. Where is it? But it's so
much deeper than just you know, oh my god, we've
got crime. We need to put more police out there
on the streets. The genesis and the motivation for the

(01:03:59):
violence is really the core of the problem, and I
don't know, I don't know where the solution lies. Again,
that's something Ramaswami talked about, you know, these long term
you know, we've got to face this reality and we've
got to start embracing, you know, more traditional values and
all traditional values. You conservative, but you know, I mean,
you can trace the breakdown of the nuclear family to

(01:04:21):
this precipitous increase in crime. Most notably and sadly within
the black community. The marriage rate is so unbelievably low
when he used to be so high. That's where the
discussion went. We got over to Lyndon Johnson and the
Great Society programs that have just hooked people up to
the biblical court of government, which he promised would happen.

(01:04:43):
It's going to guarantee democratic victories into the future, is
basically what he said out loud. And he did use
the N word when he was making that point. He
was notorious for that racist So and so we'll catch
myself from SEC compliance violations. I am sorry. I will
take your call immediately as soon as we get back.

enough to stay on hold over the break. Robert, Welcome
to the Morning Show. Thanks for holding my friend TOTL.

(01:07:30):
Thanks for taking my call. Happy.

Speaker 17 (01:07:33):
I wanted to say that, you know, your program is
absolutely awesome. I listened to you as much as I can.

Speaker 1 (01:07:39):
Oh, thanks Man, And.

Speaker 17 (01:07:41):
Last week I was enthralled with everything that's been going on.
And one thing that you mentioned, which I'm really surprised,
you said, you haven't seen that video.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Of the WWE type. Yeah, I have not seen that one,
although Corey was kind enough to just for me a
longer version of the video which shows a more extended
altercation between the two people that were involved in the
genesis of the fight, the slap, the guy that got
slapped and the white guy that ultimately got beat down.

(01:08:12):
There was a longer period of time in front of that,
and I was happy to see that. In fact, there
were a number of black folks that did try to
stop those two from fighting each other. They got in
and separated them like a like a referee. And a
ring at a boxing match. So quite a few people
did endeavor to just de escalate the situation, so props
to those people. But as soon as the punch was

(01:08:34):
thrown in the slap, it just it just completely fell
apart and that's when the when the melee happened. So
that's that's one. I now have seen a longer version
of it. I have not seen the WWE one that
Christopher talked about the other.

Speaker 17 (01:08:44):
Day, okay, and that kind of surprises me because I
think within the first two or three days, I think
after this happened, I saw that video where that that
that dude, I mean absolutely did a w W e
yeh slam on that guy, and I was I've seen

(01:09:06):
so Brian, I'll be honest with you, in the last
week and a half, I've learned more about this city
and this in in the leadership than I've ever in
my whole life. And it's it's shocking.

Speaker 7 (01:09:22):
It reminds me of d C be honest with you.

Speaker 17 (01:09:26):
So, yeah, so you have seen the slap thing.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
I guess I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:09:31):
Understand the slap thing. Well, the white guy did slap
the black guy, and some are suggesting that was the
beginning of it earlier on, and then there is a
long period of an altercation between those two. There was
they were standing there with their fists up, you know,
just like a boxing match, you know, separated from some
with some distance, but the slap didn't occurrence. A little
bit later after that longer exchange where they were dancing

(01:09:54):
around in fight positions.

Speaker 17 (01:09:56):
So so where the old kicked the car thing come
into play.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
I don't remember, Robert. It's all piece to me. This
is why I, like I said, at some point, we're
going to get a montage of all the video, and
it's going to be in order, and we're gonna see
it from start to finish. That's kind of what I'm
sitting around waiting for. And that's going to require the
video that police Chief three Teresa Thizi said she had.
So let's get it all together. I'm sure there's a
lot of folks in the crowd obviously filming this, and

(01:10:23):
if everybody turns in their video, we'll have a complete
picture and then we'll know truly what happened. But okay, I.

Speaker 17 (01:10:30):
Got I got a couple, I got a couple other things,
if you don't mind.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
So the nine one one call.

Speaker 17 (01:10:37):
So the chief of police complains that there was only one,
and I agree, if there only was it was only one?
But was it your program that said the chief of
police said that it came in at three oh six,
and somebody has proof that they called it three h three.

Speaker 10 (01:10:57):
Was that your program?

Speaker 6 (01:10:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Corey Bowman said that yesterday. I believe that was what
he said the town hall meeting. Joe, is that where
I heard them say that. I was on the air
with me. That's right, he was on at seven oh
five yesterday. I knew he had made that point at
one point yesterday. I'm just like, it's all a blur anymore.
It's coming out of so fast and furioce.

Speaker 15 (01:11:15):
I totally agree.

Speaker 17 (01:11:16):
I'm taking in so much in the last between local news, online, yeah,
on TV, national news, international news. It's so confusing, it's crazy.
And my point to the whole nine on one. So
the chief of police says there was only one, So
how many is the visit take?

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
Is one?

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
Okay?

Speaker 17 (01:11:38):
Or is the criteria ten before you act upon it?

Speaker 1 (01:11:42):
Or is it a hundred or is it a thousand?
Who cares?

Speaker 5 (01:11:45):
If it was one?

Speaker 7 (01:11:46):
Is it one enough?

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
I agree with you. I think The broader point of
that is maybe a social point she was making, Like, listen,
you got a crowd of one hundred people standing around
with video cameras watching this absolute idea of devolving situation
with a fist fight out in the middle of the street.
Why is it that no one bothered to call the police?
Only one person bothered to call the police. I think
that was maybe her admonishing society. You know, we need

(01:12:10):
to have more people, more willing to get in touch
with law enforcement. But I think that that avoids and evades.
I think the bigger problem, which is, you got three
giant events going on in downtown Cincinnati. You have a total,
a total grand total. If you tapped in all the
available police resources, I believe it was eleven total originally reported,

(01:12:30):
there were only three officers assigned to the area. That
just doesn't sound like enough. I mean, it's one of
the things the reaction was from a lot of people.
Why weren't there more officers around? If do you think,
I mean, seriously, if there were a couple of officers
standing there on that corner, do you think that situation
would have devolved the way it did? I personally don't.
I mean right. Yeah, it's just wow, there's a cop there.

(01:12:52):
Maybe I better not kick the guy in the head,
you know, one of those kind of things. It's that
seems to be the simplest solution. When large crowds gather,
have a greater presence of police. You can see it
coming a mile away. Look down the road. In early August,
we're going to have these three big events happen at
one time. We need to plan ahead of that and
get a lot more police resources on the street, just

(01:13:12):
to create a visual presence of safety period. End of story.
Problem may be solved, may be avoided, and it's impossible
to know. It is impossible to know how many things
like this were avoided when they did have a police
presence around. We'll never know the answer to that question.
I think we can logically and reasonably conclude that the

(01:13:34):
likelihood of someone engaging in this type of horrific behavior
reduces substantially when there are cops right there. I don't
think anybody can argue to the contrary that does that
mean you're going to eliminate all of them? No, but
it does go a long way. The presence of police
give the feeling of safety for the general population, and
of course may deter the criminal element among us from

(01:13:56):
engaging in criminal conduct that they're going to get arrested,
or if they really sat and pondered it, maybe they
just go ahead and move on and commit the criminal
conduct in spite of the police being there, knowing full
well the revolving door of justice that exists in Hamilton
County means they're going to get out with no bond

(01:14:17):
and will not be held to the highest accountability under
the criminal law. If you thought about it long enough,
you might go down that road. Six forty eight fifty

not seen that. That's maybe that's why I'm feeling low today.

(01:17:03):
I mean, I've seen all the I've seen quite a
few of these videos now, and I think I've closed
the gap on what's out there. Maybe I don't know,
maybe we'll have more. As I mentioned with Fiji talking
about releasing more video, it's just so hard to watch.
It's just so hard to watch, which again I'll point out,
I think goes a long way to explain why so

(01:17:25):
many people reacted to it. It just goes on and
on and on. And also the video Cordier forwarded me reveals,
you know, a little bit more about what Tiji said.
That there were there was more than one victim, I
mean more than two victims. The two we primarily focused
on where the white guy with the white shirt and
of course Holly that got the cole cocked out of nowhere,

(01:17:49):
the most unjustifiable component of the beatdown. And again, congratulations
to everybody who sent her some money. She's up to
four hundred and sixty four thousand and four almost five
hundred dollars on the GI send go page. So I'm
not sure that's going to make her whole at all,
but it certainly would go a long way to help
her out in her time of need. But it's just

words on it. And I think, you know, on the
heels of that meeting last night where you just walked
out thinking, you know, what is really going to happen here?
How are we going to move in a better direction?
What can we accomplish from this? What can we learn
from this? Just absolutely inexcusable, inexcusable? Again, you know, the

(01:18:33):
just because someone calls you a vile name does not
free you to engage in criminal conduct. It doesn't give
you free rein Was it wrong? Maybe if someone used
the N word? Is that excuse the whole meltdown here?

(01:18:56):
I personally don't think it does. But it's certainly not
lawful to aren't wailing on someone in this way as
a consequence of what someone says? I don't know, put
yourself in that position, how would you have reacted? Six

more uplifting, of course, way more uplifting. Welcome back to
the fifty five KRCE Morning Show. I wish I could
say Congressman Orlando Sonza maybe someday, but welcome back to Orlando.

(01:20:56):
It's a pleasure to have you on the prayer and program.
It's been a while since we've talked. How have you
been lately, my friend, Orlando, Brian.

Speaker 14 (01:21:04):
My gosh, it has been a while, but always great
to be on with you. We are doing well, doing well.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
Glad to hear that family all in good shape.

Speaker 14 (01:21:13):
We're gearing up for I think a wild and crazy season,
but as the sonsas like to say, we're always.

Speaker 1 (01:21:19):
Up for a challenge.

Speaker 14 (01:21:20):
So they are doing well and ready.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
To go great. I wish you all the best and
getting ready for school. I suppose with the kids real quick, Orlando,
I don't want to throw a curveball out. You put
you on the spot, and I know you're here to
talk about the Hamilton County Veterans Appreciation Day and parenthetically
your appointment to the Civil Rights Division with the US
Department of Justice under the Trump administration. Wonderful appointment and
congratulations on that. We'll get to that in a moment.

(01:21:42):
Can I just get your reactions to the violence on
the twenty sixth of July in downtown Cincinnati, And you know,
if you were in elected capacity, you certainly would be
put on the spot on that. I'm just just curious
to know what you have to say about it and
what your reaction is and if you think there are
any solutions that could solve what seems to be a
broader societal breakdown problem. Yeah, Brian, you know what.

Speaker 14 (01:22:05):
I first and foremost just want to say that it
really has been an honor to serve the Hamilton's County
veterans over the past fifteen months, you know, and I'm
incredibly grateful now for the opportunity to serve at the
national level as counsel in the Civil Rights Division. Well,
I can't discuss specifics, you know, of what's just been
going on. I would just say that I'm remain committed

(01:22:27):
to defending constitutional freedoms for all Americans, whether it's Cincinnati
or across the country, and upholding our rules law. That's
all I'll say at the moment.

Speaker 1 (01:22:38):
Fair enough, And your role as counselor for the Civil
Rights Division, I'm working on case law litigation. What will
you be taking on here Orlando again?

Speaker 14 (01:22:48):
You know, the opportunity to focus on legal matters involving
civil rights litigation. I mean, Brian, you can't get more
tip of the spear than that and helping implement the
administration's legal So it will be litigation heavy and I'm
excited to hit the ground running on day one.

Speaker 1 (01:23:06):
Well, I hope you get a good staff. You know,
having been a litigation attorney for sixteen years, there's a
lot of work that goes into that and evidence gathering
and briefs and motion practice and all that. So you're
up for the challenge. I am certain of that, and
that's why the Trump administration turned to you for that appointment.
So congratulations from me and my listening audience on the appointment.
We expect big things from you, Orlando. That's for damn sure.

Speaker 10 (01:23:27):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:23:28):
And as you're you're no longer in the role as
head of the Hemnon County Veteran Service Commission, I guess
your last day was August thirteenth, if I read that correctly.

Speaker 14 (01:23:36):
Yeah, so coming up next Wednesday would be my final day.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
That's right, final day next Wednesday. Glenn Welling. I suppose
he's a commission member. He's going to be serving as
the interim director. I guess the veterans are in good
hands with Glenn Welling at the HELM after your absence.

Speaker 5 (01:23:52):
Absolutely.

Speaker 14 (01:23:52):
I mean there's no better person I could think of
to leave the transition and continue the incredible momentum that
we've just seen.

Speaker 5 (01:23:59):
Brian.

Speaker 14 (01:24:00):
I mean, we went from an office of six full
time employees trying to service thirty eight thousand veterans in
Hamilton County and we've essentially tripled that. We're now eighteen
strong of all veterans or dependent of veterans that are
fully committed to serving the over thirty eight thousand veterans
that we have in Hamilton County. So no better person

(01:24:20):
to lead that than MASSA chief Glenn Welling, who currently
serves as the executive director of the Xavier University Military
and Veterans Career Center, and so I'm just excited to
see him take the helm and continue on the progress
we've made and the transformation we've seen just over the
last year plus.

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
Wonderful news. Appreciate your optimism on that. And I guess
I suppose as you depart the role, one of your
final acts and duties is to coordinate this upcoming military
our Hamilton County Military and Veterans Appreciation Day, which has
taking place Saturday, August twenty third. And saw your point.
Let's talk about this what's going on on that day, Orlando?

Speaker 14 (01:25:01):
Yeah, I mean, you know no better I think thing
to kind of cap off the work that we've just
done and try to do for Hamilton County veterans and
their families. Right then, a huge celebration, a community celebration
to honor those that have served our country. You know, Brian,
you know that my wife and I Jessica, we donned
the uniform at one point, honored to have served. And

(01:25:24):
I can't tell you how much we appreciated just in
our time and service and out when the entire community
gets together and just honors the sacrifice of our brave
men and women that have wear them warned the uniform
or are currently serving. And so we've got a huge
Military and Veterans Appreciation Day down at Sawyer Point coming
up in two weeks August twenty third. It's a Saturday,

(01:25:47):
two to ten pm. It's going to be an awesome
time to just celebrate our military members and veterans in
an extraordinary event open to the entire community. You do
not have to be military to join in on the fun.
And you've got family fund zone for kids that's just
going to be Cincinnati Circus is going to be there,
a rock wall display of military equipment and vehicles, and

(01:26:09):
then free food for Hamilton County veterans and their family members.
Food trucks are going to be out there. ConA ice
truck's going to be out there. But you got to register.
That's what we're trying to impress is you've got to
go onto our website that's HCVSC dot org hcvsc dot
org to register so you can get your meal voucher

(01:26:30):
and get your free food. We'll have live music and
Brian I do want to highlight I think the most
important thing about this event is a Veterans Resource Fare
fromm on August twenty third. I mean, we're gonna have
over eighty organizations representing all veterans service whether it's employment,
health and wellness, education, financial counseling, legal services. The VA

(01:26:54):
is going to be out there answering your VA claims questions.
So it's going to be awesome. And it's just the
build off of what we did for our inaugural event
last year when we had over two thousand, five hundred
veterans at the ballpark show up for our inaugural Appreciation Day.
So we're doing it again and we're going to do
it even bigger.

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
Well, of course, we appreciate your service and your wife's
service to our country. You did allude to it. You
appreciate the veterans, and you were active duty in your time,
and when you went into events like this and the
community came out in support of veterans, it truly means
a lot to the service members and the veterans when
we do show or support you enjoy and appreciate that.

(01:27:34):
And I'm happy that you did say that out loud,
because I want to encourage people to come out and
do that. You know, it's like police officers. When I
see a police officer on the street, I thank them
for their service to their community. You know, it's an
easy thing to do, and you know, sometimes you get
a really you know, happy reaction. Sometimes it's like a
little you know, kind of like appreciate it and then
move on. But I mean it's got to mean a

(01:27:54):
lot to you to know that we do care and
we were coming out and to pat you on the
back and as inspiring your presence there.

Speaker 6 (01:28:02):
That's right.

Speaker 14 (01:28:03):
It's a thank you for your service. And we've seen
it time and time again at the Veteran Service Commission, Brian,
where someone will come in and say, you know, I'm
not a veteran. You know I didn't deploy or you know,
thank god I didn't get injured, and so I don't
think I fit the definition definition of veteran. No, No,
you are a veteran. You raise your right hand. You

(01:28:24):
swore to protect and defend this constitution. You wore the uniform,
you were ready at moments notice to serve this great country.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
You are a veteran, and we are.

Speaker 14 (01:28:34):
Here to serve you, and we are here to say
thank you for your service. No matter what era, no
matter what branch of service. Although you know that Just
and I are Army bias, right, Brian, It's one fight
and that we honor the service of all of our veterans.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
Well, the event begins at two pm and it last
till ten PM. And I did see you do have
musical entertainment going on during the day addition to the
food trucks and the eighty organizations for there for the
for the veterans and career opportunities, et cetera of the
military equipment. But you have music, that's right.

Speaker 14 (01:29:10):
We got four cover bands that are that are gonna
be awesome. They're gonna be playing from two to eight pm,
you know Varner Netherton Revival. We've got pm Eversin Price
in the all star band, the Menus, Zal Gonzalez and
Stephen Cochrane. And then we're going to cap off the
night with how else do you end a celebration, Brian,
nine to thirty pm. We're gonna have fireworks by Rossie Fireworks. Ah,

(01:29:32):
it's gonna be an awesome event.

Speaker 1 (01:29:34):
Well, you see, I specifically asked you Orlanda about the
musical acts because I know the Menus are a huge draw,
and I know the lead singer, Tim Goldringer. He and
I went to high school together and he used to
perform with my dad's Alzheimer's Memory Facility when my dad
was there, and my dad absolutely loved him. He is
such a great entertainer. But the menus is a huge draw,

(01:29:54):
so you're gonna get a lot of folks showing up
for that and then saluting the veterans while they're there
as well. Orlando's son, So thank you for your work,
your hard work and tireless work on behalf of the
American veterans and your role with the Hamlin County Veteran
Services Commission. Of course, congratulations again on your appointment to
the Council for the Civil Rights Division. I'm looking forward
to the work that you do for the Trump administration,

(01:30:14):
and I thank you again for all that you've done
for the veterans in your capacity at the Hamilin County
Veteran Services It's hcv HCVSC dot org, hcv s C.
My veteran friends and the audience, make sure you register
so you can get the free food and free parking
and well you'll also be eligible for door prizes by
entering as well or Land to thank you again for

(01:30:36):
your time and spending some time today this morning with
my listeners and me. I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (01:30:41):
Brian. Always a pleasure. Take care of my friend and.

Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
We'll talk to Always here for you. Anything you got
to talk about, you can feel free to speak your
voice on the morning show, my friend. Good luck in
DC too. You hope you're getting you get in combat.
Pay for that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:57):
I wish, I wish.

Speaker 7 (01:30:59):
It's an honor to serve.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
I said, you got it, you got it. You are
going to be serving. I don't envy you for having
to live in the swamp, but I know you're gonna
do a great job. Take care, Boddy. We'll talk again.
Seven sixteen fifty five Karasiti Talk Station. Think about that.
Would you move to Washington, DC? That's a hard ask

(01:31:21):
right there. Rhino Shield an outstanding product. Rhino shields so cool.
It was Rhino Shield twenty five year guarantee. It's not paint.
It's better than paint. It's like ceramic coating and Rhino shield.
You can put it on all kinds of surfaces, like
my daughter's barn, her and her fiance's barn. It was
in miserable shape. It was an awful you mustard yellow.

(01:31:42):
It was flaking and peeling. I don't know the last
time that thing's been painted. But you see, when you
go with Rhino Shield, you never have to worry about
painting again. Right, It's awesome. So it repels moisture, it
repels UV light, It keeps the surface that it's painted
on protected, breatheable design, it doesn't trap moisture, and eight

(01:32:03):
to eight to ten times thicker than paint. In addition
to this ceramic nature of this coating, I'm reluctant to
even call it paint. It's that thickness that also helped
it last long. And they really do a wonderful job.
Prep is critical for the Rhino Shield product to work,
and they spend a lot of time prepping the surface
and then before they apply the Rhino shoeld. But you'll
be glad they do it. Serving the whole Greater Cincinnati area.

talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:33:45):
It is seven to twenty one. If you five KRCD
talk station. Hope you e have been a decent Tuesday.
If you can stick around, we're gonna hear from Christopher Smithman. Yes,
we heard from him yesterday with the smith VMP and
Light of the town Hall with the Veke Grahmaswami last night,
which is linked on the blog page fifty five careseea
dot com You get a chance to watch it live,
which my wife and I did. It was it was

(01:34:06):
I thought it was good. I thought it was effective. Yeah,
there was some politic and going on there. RAMASWAMMI running
for for governor and I think he will be governor.
And he is so optimistic in spite of the subject
matter that brought everyone there to Jim and Jax last night.
You know, Ramaswami is an inspiring man. Uh and he
is as sharp as attack. You throw any question in

(01:34:31):
the world at him and he cause he formulates just
a brilliant response. Don't believe me. Check out my blog Patriot.
If I've care Sea dot com watch the town Hall.
But it was also so troubling and heartbreaking, you know,
to hear from a woman who lost two children to
gun violence. I just the horror of that. Of course,
she's desperate for solutions. So anyway, oh and real quick

(01:34:57):
updated on the gift said, go it's going through the room,
poor Holly who just got the undeserved Cole cocky and
knocked her clean to the ground. You've seen photos of
her I imagine this of course on the twenty six
in downtown Cincinnati. I think be probably the most horrific
component of having to watch the video was seeing her
get punched in the face and knocked to the ground,
knocked out and clearly very very physically damaged. It's a

(01:35:21):
guy named Benny Johnson said, up a gift, send go
page for her. It's it's jumped I think twenty thousand
dollars since the mic came on this morning, she's already
up to four hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. And
it's just so impressive, just an excellent illustration of every
little bit counts. I think Donald and Neil Americans for prosperity,
that sort of you know, one small step campaign they

(01:35:44):
have going just getting everyone to get out and just
engage in some sort of activity to write the ship
here in the state of Ohio. Make the phone call
to your elected officials, send a letter, send an email,
knock on a door, get engaged. That kind of thing.
Little tiny steps all add up. And when you see
a bunch of fifteen ten dollars twenty dollars contributions rolling

(01:36:04):
in to help Holly and help her deal with the
aftermath of this insanity, I just think it's a beautiful
thing to behold. Four hundred and sixty five thousand dollars
and growing doesn't stop.

Speaker 6 (01:36:17):
Insanity.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
I just I wanted to pop this in here because
one of the things it seems to be, and they're
talking about it as if it's a foregone conclusion. And
I know it's New York and they're going to have
their own problems to deal with. But Zorhan Mandani, who
is the leading candidate to run the city or the
New York City, the guy is an outright kami. He's
a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. And this

(01:36:41):
is a rather disturb It doesn't surprise me to read this,
But you know, I think about the taxpayers in New
York City. They've already driven out so much business. They've
already driven out so many of that super wealthy in
New York City because of their insane tie tax taxation rate.
He's talking about jacking up the income tax even higher
on wealthy New York. Now you know they're going to

(01:37:01):
leave more so than they already have. Big businesses have
already left, many of them gone to the state of Florida. Anyway,
article I found this guy named Dan Goulden. He's a
member of New York City's Democratic Socialist America Steering Committee
and apparently he works on the He worked on Zoron
Mondani's campaign, helped write the trans policy platform. So they

(01:37:28):
just released this Democrat Socialist of America panel discussion from
last month Socialism twenty twenty five conference. Quote. We collaborated
with the Zoron Mondami campaign on his trans rights platform,
and what we explicitly wanted to do was use the
power of New York City to provide free gender affirming care.

(01:37:52):
And I say free in case insurance companies decide to
buddh us off free gender affirming care not just the
people in the York City but across the country. And
one presumably understands that given a zoron Mndami and his
view on illegal immigrants. In the fact that New York
City's a sanctuary policy, I imagine this was extend to

(01:38:14):
non citizens. You know, didn't we get into a big
problem with open borders by telegraphing to the rest of
the world that the borders were in fact open and
that you'll be able to hook yourself up in the
Biblical court of government and get free services, free housing,
free clothing, free education. We told the whole world that
look what happened. A floodgate. A flood of humanity came

(01:38:36):
across the southern border during the Biden administration, millions of
additional people coming here for free stuff and things. Good luck,
New York City. I hope your tax base can cover
the cost of gender affirming care for literally every human
being in the country who wants to go there to
get free I guess surgery. I don't think the financial

(01:39:01):
state of New York City can manage that. But that's
just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to
taxpayer spending. This guy is literally insane, and he's the
leading candidate. Seven twenty seven fifty five krs the talk
station Christopher Smithamen up next, First, get a call to
USA Installation. It's a free quote and free inspection. They
inspect to make sure that you don't need the product.

(01:39:23):
I mean, if you do, you don't need it, they'll
tell you. So if you have maybe a newer you
didn't see the town hall last night with Christopher Smithman
and Vva Grama so Im you can get the link
of my blog page fifty five Caroseea dot com. My
wife and I watched the whole thing. Welcome back, Christopher
Smitheman to talk about that. Well, how'd you think it went, Christopher,
Welcome back to the program, my friend.

Speaker 10 (01:39:43):
Oh, Brian, thank you, my friend, and thanks for watching it.
It was so overwhelmingly successful. Over a thousand people came.
People were in the back listening outside, people were inside,
people were kind, people were resp there were there were
there were dissenting voices. In a democracy, people were respectful

(01:40:06):
to each other in those dissenting comments. It could not
have been better. The room was diverse, so you know,
people were like, oh, it's not going to be diverse.

Speaker 7 (01:40:16):
I think I did.

Speaker 10 (01:40:17):
I gave the explanation of why why Jim and Jacks,
which was a great location for the event. And I
just can't say enough about the VEC Robin Swami. He
did a great job providing leadership where we do not
have the leadership at city Hall. There's a vacuum there.
Like today there's the Law and Public Safety Committee meeting

(01:40:38):
is happening today. But you know, most would say it's
two weeks too late. I mean, we're glad they're having it,
but they're you know, they're two weeks too late. And
they certainly at the at the heart of it, their
colleague who the president pro ten will be president, and
she's the one that's a part of the sphere of
the firestorm by saying that those who were assaulted in

(01:40:59):
downtown cincinna, we're begging for it. But again, it was
a great event, Bryant, great event.

Speaker 1 (01:41:06):
Yeah, I mean that was my takeaway. I guess, as
I mentioned earlier in the program, my I don't I'm
sure my frustration is shared to a certain degree. But
you know, solving the problem that we're facing with violence
in downtown Cincinnati, there is no magic bullet, as you
know VD pointed out. You know, you can address allocation
of resources like law enforcement, better patrols, and uh, you know,

(01:41:29):
obviously reopening psychiatric facilities, that is a is a wonderful idea,
but you know, logistically speaking, that's not going to happen overnight.
You know, the idea of you know, committing people who
are suffering from massive psychiatric problems with which caused them
to commit crimes repeatedly. We need a solution for that,
but that seems to be a longer term solution. But

(01:41:50):
you know, enforcing the law, letting police enforce the law,
like curfew laws, that's easy to do. Just let them
go ahead and do it. That's one of the things
that came out of this. But the other component of
it he talked about was this sort of again long
term proposition. We've got to change the hearts and minds
of Americans generally speaking, you know, the the reintroduction of
of the appreciation for the family unit, mom and dad

(01:42:13):
at home, you know, instilling a sense of community, a
sense of cooperation with police. This is changing minds. So
accomplishing that is the difficult challenge we face. Christopher.

Speaker 10 (01:42:26):
Yes, and one of the things that I will share
with you is that, and I say this very in
the most humble way, but the veck nor I nor
I don't think anybody has all of the solutions, like
you're there to listen and learn because all of those
intelligent people that were in the room collectively, the solutions

(01:42:47):
are in front of us. For example, Sarah talking a
victim of her husband Patrick being murdered in over the Rhine, right,
meaning the VEC really didn't know that story prior to
the town hall coming together. But then when he heard
the story, I mean she told her story right, it

(01:43:10):
absolutely moved the VEC yesterday. So now if you can imagine,
we all can. He becomes the governor and now he says, listen,
we're gonna do something about these things that Patrick ended
up losing his life. MITI I think if he wins
that he's going to be a governor that's going to
hone in on criminal justice issues. I'm not saying he

(01:43:30):
can solve everything, but he can make sure that if
you take off your monitor, somebody is on you immediately
and we're picking you up. We're gonna find you and
make sure that you go right back to jail. We're
not gonna let you just wander around for three or
four months and end up, unfortunately, at the front door
of Sarah's home. In her bedroom and kill her husband.

(01:43:53):
But her testimony was so impactful to me. I had
heard it. I'm just not sure if if Vick had
hurt it and heard it in the way that she
delivered it, I thought it was. And then there were
lots of people in the room, Brian Thomas, who had
never heard her story, didn't know anything about it. Yeah,
and so now people were walking up to me, going, man,

(01:44:14):
what Sarah said just moves me. We've got to do something.

Speaker 6 (01:44:17):
We've got to.

Speaker 10 (01:44:18):
Change, so the collective change the other woman who spoke
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:44:21):
Okay, okay, okay, hearing you, Felicia Zimerman, I'm gonna pause
because we're out of time in the segment. We need
to address that one because I had never heard that story,
and I cannot imagine imagine what that woman has going
is going through still to this day. Let's give bring
Christopher back. It's a seven thirty seven fifty five cares
to the talxations. Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman, former Vice Metha.
The City of Cincinnati also co host of the town

(01:44:44):
hall event with the vank Ramas swimming yesterday and pivoting
over to Felicia Zimmerman. That one blew my mind. Christopher. Two,
she lost two of her children to gun violence, her sons,
two of her sons both shot and killed. She I
mean she was struggling not to just break down completely crying.
Christ Oh, she was, she was.

Speaker 10 (01:45:05):
And that's another example. It was a story that I
had never heard. If it weren't for the town hall meeting,
I would have never known about it. And it moved
me as it moved you and moved everybody in the room.
And so it's this example for me that the gun
violence that we're all talking about is impacting everybody. Yes,
you know it's the face of it. Are black people,

(01:45:26):
white people, you know, Asian people, depending on where you
live in La Latino people. This gun violence that we're
talking about with young people is impacting everybody. And that
was so powerful for I think the world, for definitely
people in Hamilton County to understand that this is impacting everybody.
And obviously definitely her testimony impacted me. But yet another

(01:45:50):
example of a solution.

Speaker 7 (01:45:52):
Meaning she moved me.

Speaker 10 (01:45:53):
And I talked about Hope Dutley, for example, who most
people didn't know, but she's been trying to get her
cards oh, inside the Hamilton County jails forever, Christoph robbying
the Hamilton County commissioners. She's been lobbying the Sheriff's department.
They used to be in the jails. I don't understand
why they don't allow her cards that help I get
the cold cases back into the spotlight for these mothers

(01:46:18):
who'd lost their children and the case hasn't been solved.
Why they won't do.

Speaker 6 (01:46:21):
It, dude?

Speaker 1 (01:46:22):
I had her on my program talking about those cards,
and she talked about, you know, there were actually some
cases solved because of the cards floating around. It's a
pack of playing cards. In every card rather than you know,
the diamonds or the spades or the clubs or anything.
It's got you know, of course the cards are properly labeled,
but it's got a photograph on them involving one of
these unsolved cases. And since you're dealing with the criminal

(01:46:44):
element in a jail, all concentrated in one space, and
they need something to do, they play cards. And while
they're playing cards, are like one of them stumbles across
one of these cards and goes, oh, I know all
about that, and then can let the authorities know and
we can solve one of these cold cases. I am
shocked and puzzled to know or and want to know
why those are no longer allowed in the jail when

(01:47:05):
they used to be allowed in the jail.

Speaker 10 (01:47:08):
That is so it's again, this is like that solution.
All of his all of us in the room, could
hear that and go and Hope Dutley, who's been fighting
for victims. I'm going to try to connect Felicia and
Hope Dutley together. But people who've been fighting for those
There's so many people that have unsolved crimes and mothers

(01:47:28):
out here, and so this notion that the mom, for example,
I'm trying to bring them the life. And the best
way that I can Brian Thomas is to say that
mother who has a dead son who was killed five
years ago, still today doesn't know who killed their son.
It's not resolved for them. They absolutely support the police department.
They want the detectives. They're trying to they're trying to

(01:47:51):
coordinate with the detectives. But we need more resources for
those officers, meaning that we need more officers that are
on that team that are working on the cold cases.
But those cards are it's an easy step. And that's
why I try to talk about it because I don't
know why Hamilton County refuses to put them in the
jails when they were in the jails. It doesn't make
sense to me.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
No, I mean, as far as I'm my understanding goes,
you're allowed to have playing cards in the jail, so
why not have playing cards that might help people help
the police solve cold cases. That's I'm baffled by that one.

Speaker 10 (01:48:25):
I'm about that, And Brian, think about this for for
your listening audience, that somebody looks at that and they go, Wow,
if I give you information, maybe you'll give me six
months off my time exactly, meaning whatever is whatever negotiated,
Meaning the criminal in the jail isn't going to do
it for free. But the family that's on the outside

(01:48:47):
who's trying to find the shooter really appreciates that information
and the other thing that it does. It helps these mothers,
like we heard yesterday, like Felicia, think that and know
that somebody out there still working that their child is
still alive, meaning in the sense that somebody's trying to
resolve who killed them. Yeah, and so in her case,

(01:49:08):
it sounded like she had that information, but in so
many other cases they do not have it. Well, so
many people out there that have shot people and they're
still walking around and Brian, you and I know that
if they shoot one person, they might have shot five
people and killed them. So if you can get them
off the street, you're the people that are doing the
shooting are doing multiple killings in our community.

Speaker 1 (01:49:31):
Yeah, seems to be the case. And you know, I
was thinking about what VvE was proposing, and I was
looking at this long public safety committee meeting that they're
having today, and since a city council talking about two
million dollars to recruit more police officers, beefing up security
measures in the Cincinnati Central Business District, I guess, to

(01:49:53):
the exclusion of the other neighborhoods in the city, walking
and fight patrols, better lighting security cameras, that's Jeff camera
Ring's motion. And uh, I just I guess that's all
that is. Okay, it's all well and good, but it
doesn't seem like it's going to be quite enough. And
we go to sentencing, and that's the other thing Vivek
was calling for, you know, tougher sentencing, and in the
case of Felicia it sounds me like justice was not

(01:50:17):
served with the people who murdered her sons. I mean
it was to hear hear what actually happened to people
that were involved with it.

Speaker 10 (01:50:22):
It was heartbreaking, heart breaking totally. And we know that
one of those legs of the system of judges that
are not giving the time, I mean the time is
not fitting the crime. And I can I can just
say that in Hamilton County and the shooters are getting
getting right back at Yeah, okay, I want to say,
you know, there there were some protesters out here at

(01:50:45):
Jim and Jack. I don't know, Brian what they were protesting.
I didn't I didn't understand it. Uh, there were there.
There weren't a lot of them out here. Some of
them were talking about Trump. But when you when you
when you come inside and you hear the stories that
are being told here and we're all in here trying
to solve the problem. We wish they had come across

(01:51:06):
the street, put their signs down and said let me
come in and be a part of the solution, because
we're in here talking about how did we stop violence?
And the other piece was it felt like the people
across the street at some level were okay, and I
don't know if they understood that. Maybe some of them
are listening. They were okay with the violence that happened
in downtown, says say, so they should be very careful,

(01:51:28):
meaning if that was their message, they really are not
embracing humanity at all protesting what we're trying to do.
I don't even understand why they were over there, but
it was about maybe fifteen or twenty of them, but
they were acting like there was going to be thousands
of people that came here. Know, the thousand people that
were here were here for the town hall for vervek
Ramaswami and myself. They weren't outside the twelve, fifteen or

(01:51:52):
twenty people were outside. It just wasn't a big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:51:55):
Now it wasn't. And the one person was quota by
I think it was a local WCP. You just denied
that there was a problem with violence. I mean that
was her take on it just knows the city's safe.
You know, I'm saved, My daughters are safe, and this
is all blown out of proportion. So you know, we
all know what opinions are, Like, everybody's got one. So
that woman, that one woman's perception is Cincinnati's not does

(01:52:16):
not have a problem with violence. So maybe in a
state of denial, real quick here, Christopher.

Speaker 10 (01:52:21):
Sarah wouldn't agree with her nor with Felicia right now
if they would not agree with what she's saying.

Speaker 1 (01:52:27):
Or holly, holly, yeah, real quick before we go. Oh
and congratulations on managing to get a streetcar criticism in there.
That was hilarious, Christopher. I was actually laughing, literally laughing
out loud at home, like he went there, he went there, man,
he went there. V V Ramasomi invited you to extend

(01:52:49):
this sort of like a statewide tour. Is that does that? Like?
Is that going to turn into something? Christopher? Because I
got quite a few listeners asking if he has chosen
his running mate yet.

Speaker 10 (01:53:01):
No, no, I don't think he. I don't think he
shows his running mate. But I can tell you I
was a shocked as you were when he put it,
put it out there in the public right for everybody
to hear. Can we do this in Cleveland? Can we
do this in Toledo? And you heard me say in Columbus,
I said, of course, any way that I can be supportive,
you know, of trying to move the needle in this area.
Because I'm as passionate about it as you are. I'm

(01:53:24):
certainly going to be involved and be a part of
the solution. I don't think that has anything to do
with his running mate, but I can tell you that
it's nice that people fought in Cincinnati. And I say
this in the most humble way because there's been so many,
so much craziness.

Speaker 7 (01:53:39):
I wanted to.

Speaker 10 (01:53:40):
Present Cincinnati in a positive light, was my objective, right
and so that as people are out there thinking, we're
not all out there talking about people who are getting
beat in.

Speaker 7 (01:53:50):
The middle of the street.

Speaker 10 (01:53:51):
We're begging for it, you know. And I have to
thank publicly Jim and Jacks their staff. They did a
beautiful job. It's a hard job, you know, the waiters,
the waitresses, the staff, the security that came, the police officers,
the all duty police officers that kept us all safe.
I want to thank everybody for it for an uneventful

(01:54:13):
night as it relates to safety, and that it was
a productive town hall meeting. And I want to thank
you publicly, Brian Thomas for talking about it, for promoting it.
It made a very big difference. And I'll end with this,
so many people love you. I'm going to tell you,
Brian Thomas, you are a rock star. So people are
walking up to me. Oh, They're like, I'm telling you truth.

(01:54:33):
But oh, man, I love the Brian Thomas Shaw. I
listened to it every morning, you know, I like when
you come on. But we love Brian Thomas. Buddy. You
have a lot of people that were here. I was
just hoping you'd walk through the door so I could
just stand next to you and take a picture and
get some of the royalties. But there was a lot
of people here who listen to your show and appreciate

(01:54:55):
what you provide for the city of Cincinnati. So thank
you for that.

Speaker 1 (01:54:58):
Well I'm sorry, miss I did watch sit at home,
but we had friends visiting from Chicago didn't leave still
close to dinner time, so I wasn't able to manage that.
But God bless you, Christopher, and thank you to everybody.

Speaker 10 (01:55:08):
I'm pleasure. Thank you so much. I'll see you next Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:55:11):
I look forward to it, man, definitely look forward to it.
Appreciate that so much.

Speaker 18 (01:55:16):
Uh.

Suzette Low's camp, I'm gonna recommend strongly your summer pocket

Fifty five RC the talk station, Hey O five the
fifty five kr CD talk station. Happy Tuesday always made
extra special in this hour because we start the hour

(01:55:37):
with the inside scoup from bright Bart News b R
E I T b A RT dot com book market.
You're glad you did great stuff there, outstanding reporting and
a lot of the stuff you're never going to stay
on the legacy media or mainstream media. Welcome back to
the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Debuty news Director Bradley J.
From Breitbart. Always a pleasure to having you on the show.

(01:55:57):
It's always great to be with you. And moving away
from the chaos going on in the city of Cincinnati
for a few mimutes. There are all other things going
on in the world, Bradley Jay. You know that. Let's
talk about Texas. Texas Democrats, rather than well dealing with
the vote on redistricting, packed their bags and moved out.
They thus depriving the Republicans of a quorum to get

(01:56:19):
this thing through. It seems inevitable, Bradley. They're gonna have to,
regardless of the legal status, whether they can be removed
from their office or whether they can be arrested for
vacating the premises and not doing the damn job that
they're paid to do. They're going to have to come
back at some point, and some point they're going to
have a quorum, and that's when this measure is going
to pass. I mean, isn't that a foregone conclusion, Bradley.

Speaker 19 (01:56:43):
It certainly seems like it. If not, then these sucks
might end up in the slammer. Sounds like Texas Republicans,
or at least a governor Abbott and Attorney General Paxson
are playing hardballs as they should. Look the these Sux
are talking about these Texas Democrats, Oh, we're fighting to
save democracy, then going on a taxpayer funded vacation to Illinois.

Speaker 1 (01:57:07):
It's absurd there acting.

Speaker 5 (01:57:09):
I mean, this is Texas.

Speaker 19 (01:57:11):
They're acting like they're storming the Alamo, like you're going
to the Continental Breakfast at to.

Speaker 1 (01:57:16):
The Chicago Hyatt.

Speaker 19 (01:57:17):
Give me a break, Do you even know anything about Texas?
I don't even think that Texas voters are going to
approve of this. And the fact that Paxton and Abbot
are really turning the screws on them, I think is
a very good thing. Because the maps are far conder
to Democrats than the maps in California.

Speaker 1 (01:57:39):
Say, are are to Republicans.

Speaker 19 (01:57:41):
Much less of state like Massachusetts or Connecticut. Texas needs
to correct the problems that they have with their maps,
and you're right, it seems like they're going to be.

Speaker 1 (01:57:52):
Able to push this through.

Speaker 19 (01:57:53):
It's not some of these Democrats might find themselves in jail.

Speaker 1 (01:57:57):
Well, I mean it's a bit of hippocers. See they
do it themselves. I mean, Illinois, New York, They've all
done very, very very biased pro Democrat redistricting. I think
the biggest problem they had with this it seems to
me to be from what I've read that congressional maps
are typically redrawn every ten years after the census comes out,
and that they should be waiting until the next census

(01:58:19):
comes out. And this is unprecedented that they would do
this sort of out of cycle. It is unusual.

Speaker 19 (01:58:27):
But here's the thing. If Texas Republicans, frankly, if they
would have done their job in redistricting a few years ago,
we wouldn't be having this problem. Donald Trump correctly saw
that there was an issue here and he's trying to
rectify it. I used to work for a member of
Congress from Texas. So I saw a lot of this

(01:58:48):
as it was going on. And here's the problem. I
talked about how the map is so kind to Texas Democrats.
Texas Republicans were scared to death a few years ago
when the Beto o' warick thing was going on. Everyone
talked about how Texas was turning purple. And these incumbent

(01:59:08):
Republicans who were not used to campaigning there are these
establishment types. They saw that the Republican Party was changing.
They didn't want to have to actually get out there
and campaign, so they drew maps that were very generous
to Democrats so that they could insulate their own little
red districts. Well, you know what, this is the party

(01:59:29):
of Donald Trump. Now you're going to actually have to
move at his speed or you're going to get left behind.

Speaker 1 (01:59:35):
So I think that Trump.

Speaker 19 (01:59:36):
Is right to push these folks out and say, you
know what, we've got to correct these maps. We can't
just in state after state after state, cut these districts
to just give away the farm to Democrats or else
we're never going to have any congressional majorities.

Speaker 1 (01:59:52):
And even if we do have slim.

Speaker 19 (01:59:55):
Majorities and the White House, we want to be able
to get something done. So their move been on this,
and I think that it's a good development and a
sign that you know what, Republicans, we got to start
playing the game as aggressively as Democrats do.

Speaker 1 (02:00:08):
Yeah, and the tit for tad thing is kind of
ridiculous too. Gavin Newsom and Governor Hokeel both said, well,
if they go through this, we're going to do it
here as well. In other words, try to rejigger their
the redistricting in order to secure more democratic seats and
those already left leaning states. It just all seems so childish. Bradley, Well,

(02:00:31):
it does.

Speaker 19 (02:00:32):
But politics is a field in which you can go
very far if you suffer from just an utter lack
of shame. And Gavin Newsom certainly fits the bill there.
And he's talking about spit spending two hundred and fifty
million dollars on a special election just to have the
right to redraw those maps.

Speaker 1 (02:00:54):
And the current the current breakdown of.

Speaker 19 (02:00:56):
Congressional seats in California is forty two Crats.

Speaker 1 (02:01:00):
To nine Republicans.

Speaker 19 (02:01:01):
Yeah, and that's like the high water mark for Republicans,
the way that the map is so jerry mandered right now,
for Democrats is so hypocritical. You hit on that earlier,
and you're exactly right. No one jerry manders like Democrats do.
And this is being exposed. If you look at the
Illinois map, state where all these Texas Democrats flee to it.

Speaker 1 (02:01:25):
Just look at the map.

Speaker 19 (02:01:26):
There are all these blue fingers and tentacles throughout the state.

Speaker 5 (02:01:30):
It's so clear Democrats.

Speaker 19 (02:01:32):
Made such a bad pr move flee into that state.
And even on CNN, Alzi so starting to come around
and criticize Democrats for this stand that they're taking.

Speaker 1 (02:01:44):
It's not a principled stand. It does not seem to
be so all right pivoting over. I thought, well, this
is in true Trump form. He told Chucky Schumer to
go to hell the other day. Brad.

Speaker 19 (02:01:58):
It's about time, right, Yeah. Yet, so what Schumor is
trying to do is essentially hold the work of the
Senate hostage. Democrats have not allowed any of Trump's nominations
to go forward.

Speaker 1 (02:02:13):
They're making the Senate.

Speaker 19 (02:02:14):
Bleed so much unnecessary time off the calendar, so that
all they're doing is just turning through all these procedural
steps to advance Trump's nominations. And humor, you can call
it horse trading, you can call it extortion.

Speaker 1 (02:02:30):
It's probably more of the latter.

Speaker 19 (02:02:32):
Tumor is saying, you know what, will less you get
through these nominations a little more expediently if you will
give us a few billion dollars here for some Obamacare
federal subsidies, or if you'll make some promises on the
appropriations bills that are coming up. Trump is telling the
Majority leader soon, you know what nonsense, We're going to

(02:02:55):
play hardball. And it reminds me of something that russ vote,
the O and B director said two weeks ago. He said, look,
no admitted the polls in November because they wanted a
more bipartisan appropriations process. Okay, we need to actually move
in the Congress to advance the Trump agenda that voters

(02:03:17):
sent folks to Washington to accomplish. So I think that
Trump is right here again. Are you noticing a theme here? Yes,
a distinct thing from Trump administration. All right, so he
stands his ground.

Speaker 1 (02:03:29):
Isn't this a cant of parallel be drawn between this
and the nonsense going on in Texas? I mean, Schumer
can screw around with the rules and delay, delayed, delay,
all he wants, but ultimately they're going to have to
be put to a vote. So again, aren't we looking
at a foregone conclusion even if delayed?

Speaker 19 (02:03:43):
Bradley, You're exactly right. And the split screen here is remarkable.
On one side, you have Republicans who are actually trying
to get things done, to move the ball four, to
push an agenda. What do you have On the other side,
you have a bunch of grand standing. You have a
bunch of Democrats who don't have a leader, don't have

(02:04:03):
a message, don't have an agenda.

Speaker 1 (02:04:06):
Uh.

Speaker 19 (02:04:06):
They are trying to desperately appear authentic by cursing left
and right. I don't know if you've noticed, oh yeah,
on their social media channels on TVs. Democrats think that
that makes them look tough. But yet it's just setting
themselves up for failure because ultimately, as you were saying,
they're just they're they're going to lose these battles anyway.

Speaker 5 (02:04:27):
So it's just short sightedness on the parts.

Speaker 1 (02:04:30):
Part of Democrats. Uh.

Speaker 19 (02:04:32):
And it's it's giving Republicans an advantage going into the
midterms if we can actually be bold and aggressive enough
to take advantage of it.

Speaker 1 (02:04:42):
Yeah, Bradley, you know, I'm glad you brought up that
whole cursing thing, because that that's a fairly recent phenomenal.
I mean, pe've been cursing forever, but the the elected officials,
you know, people that you hold a position of at
least a supposed respect and accountability, that they that they
devolved into, you know, cursing like sailors and f bombs
left and right. You have people talking heads and mainstream

(02:05:04):
media doing it now. I mean, they're just screening into
the wind, and I think it delegitimizes whatever message they're
trying to get through. And maybe, just maybe, Bradley, they
have no message and therefore have to default to this
shocking language in order to get attention. I mean, I
don't understand where it comes from other than my lighter conclusion.

Speaker 19 (02:05:25):
You're right, it does de legitimize their message.

Speaker 1 (02:05:28):
What message they have.

Speaker 19 (02:05:30):
I assume that they got some memo from up high,
from some built way consultant. And look, I've worked in
DC long enough to know that the reason that these
Washington consultants are so bad at their job is because
they don't respect the people that they're trying to reach.
They don't think highly of the American people, they look

(02:05:51):
down upon room and that's why they have trouble reaching them.
And if this is the playbook that Democrats are using,
I gotta tell you it's not going to end up working.

Speaker 1 (02:06:01):
Yeah, And another's dude observation, Bradley. They really do think
very little of our our abilities generally speaking, you know,
they think they need to direct our lives, tell us
how to live our lives, tell us what we can
and cannot have, and of course you know, and then
scream at the Republicans for being fascist. I mean, definitionly speaking,
they are the fascist. They're trying to tell us how

(02:06:23):
to live our lives, how to run our business, and
what we can and cannot have. So they just think
we're a bunch of idiots, I believe. I mean, they're
so paternalistic it's disgusting, most notably to people of color.
That's so true.

Speaker 19 (02:06:38):
And you've seen these American Eagle Sydney Sweeney ads for sure.
Who hasn't And they're saying that these that those ads
are somehow fascist and demeaning to minorities. No, look, I
don't think there's anyone with the brain who looks at
that and thinks that that's somehow fascist if it is,
and then throw me under the jail.

Speaker 1 (02:06:59):
I thought that that's all that the ads were fantastical.

Speaker 19 (02:07:03):
But you're so right. It's paternalistic, it's demeaning. Is anyone
other than just an absolute radical partisan buying this nonsense?

Speaker 1 (02:07:13):
Once again? Democrats are getting out over their skis.

Speaker 19 (02:07:16):
And if Republicans can actually go on the offensive, they
can take advantage of this.

Speaker 1 (02:07:22):
Yeah, you know that ad campaign would work if they
had a very attractive and shapely black woman in those
genes as well. Just noting that anyhow, that's.

Speaker 19 (02:07:30):
Right, and there are plenty of ads like that as well,
and they go relatively under the radar without any outrage.

Speaker 1 (02:07:37):
All right, Bradley W News, Director of Bradley Jay. Let's
end the discussion on Trump firing the labor stats at
I mean, that's like, isn't that just shooting the messenger.
It just seemed like, wait a second, you know, are
they that bad? Did she cook the books? Or is
this like everything else? The data trickles in slowly and
then ultimately some quarter down the road, we finally have

(02:07:59):
all the information and collected and then can provide some
accurate employment information. I mean That's the way I understand
the process works.

Speaker 19 (02:08:05):
What's your take, Bradley, As Trump pointed out this, under
this person's leadership, the Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs numbers
leading up to the election in twenty twenty four five
like a million jobs, grossly overestimated how well the economy
was doing. Voters out there obviously didn't fill those fake numbers.

Speaker 1 (02:08:28):
They knew what was going on. They didn't buy it.

Speaker 19 (02:08:31):
The same thing recently, Trump is saying that the job's
numbers were.

Speaker 5 (02:08:35):
Way too high.

Speaker 1 (02:08:36):
He was right.

Speaker 5 (02:08:38):
He was saying that the rates needed being cut. He
was right.

Speaker 19 (02:08:43):
Part of the reason that the said was justifying keeping
the rates high was because the numbers were so high. Look,
you can talk about the process and the formula and
the books, but results matter for you. For me, if
we're out there spitting a bunch of fake news, you
know what, we're going to have to pay the consequences
of it. If this was a true leader and they
would actually be doing something to fix the system that

(02:09:05):
they use instead of falling.

Speaker 5 (02:09:07):
Back on it.

Speaker 19 (02:09:08):
This person was appointed by Biden. Let's be charitable and
say that they're not politically motivated. Well, they're not doing
a good job. We need a leader to come in
and say that, you know what, we need to shake
up the system and find something that actually works. He
gets these people who rely upon these numbers to steer
our economy, let's get into the numbers that they need.
Trump wants to put someone in there who can actually

(02:09:30):
do that. And once again, look, Trump is thinking outside
the box and not just oh, we need to maintain
the status quo, the status quo that has failed the
people time and again. He's exactly right and justified in
firing this person and bringing in someone.

Speaker 5 (02:09:47):
Who can do a better job.

Speaker 1 (02:09:48):
Fair take, as always from Bradley Jay. He's a debut
of news director at Breitbart again Breitbart dot com. Please
bookmark it and check it out each and every day.
You'd be glad you did. Bradley, appreciate you coming on
the program and sharing your knowledge and information my listeners.
I look forward to having you back on real soon.

Absolutely best wishes to everyone up in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (02:10:12):
Thanks brother, we'll talk again soon. It's a twenty right
now at fifty five krs the talk station and coming
up the Daniel Davis Deep Die. We'll get the latest
on the situation Ukraine and of course Gaza, both which
appear to be spiraling out of control. But first an
opportunity to get rid of that pain. My arthritis pain
suffers getting out of bed. You hit the ground and bag.

(02:10:34):
I'm right away. Heck, maybe it even hurts in bed.
I don't know. God bless me because I don't struggle
with arthritis pain. But if I did, I would pause.
Because my doctor talked about surgery with me, and I
knew that there was another option out there that I
could check into and find out. I would definitely look
into it. And Jo nine says, partly thoughty, maybe a

five KRC the talk station, Hey.

Speaker 1 (02:11:37):
Twenty nine to fifty five KRCD Talk Station and that
time of the week we get to hear from retired
Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis doing the Daniel Davis Deep Dive.
You can find that podcast online and see what Daniel
talks about throughout the week. Welcome back, my friend. It's
always a real pleasure having on my program. Always look
forward to this every week. I appreciate it. And let's

(02:11:57):
start with Ukraine, because I know we can talk about
Israel Goza too, and maybe we'll get to that. But
I've seen a couple of articles, man, the situation in
Ukraine is getting just outright desperate. A couple of fun facts.
Average Ukrainian soldiers already forty or older. They have a
pre war population of forty one million. It's now down

(02:12:18):
to between twenty eight and thirty million. Six and a
half million Ukrainians have fled the country. There are millions
under Russian occupation rule, so they're not accessible. They put
out a a A. Zelensky signed a law now allowing
Ukrainians over the age of sixty to join the military
and non combat roles to free up. I guess those
non combat younger people to go to the front lines.

(02:12:40):
They can't get anybody to sign up anymore. They're looking
for signing bonuses. Only twelve percent of the new recruits
had joined voluntarily last year. The rest were conscripted. They're
doing protests in the street because viral videos are going
around with these Ukrainian recruit guys just grabbing people off
the streets and send them off the military service. This

(02:13:00):
this situation sounds desperate, Daniel, I mean, am I missing
something on this or have I got this right?

Speaker 2 (02:13:05):
The only thing you're missing is that there was an
additional report that I saw yesterday where one of the
members of the Ukrainian Parliament was complaining, saying, listen, we
are suffering so many casualties and we are losing over
one thousand people per day killed and wounded, and this
is the big bombshells, he said, And over five hundred
per day are abandoning the fight, going a wall, just leaving,

(02:13:28):
just deserting their units.

Speaker 1 (02:13:30):
She goes.

Speaker 2 (02:13:30):
We cannot sustain this, She goes, we may literally be
running out of people before the end of the year
and have no army. I mean, she was really sounded
the alarm. But then of course you'd never know that
from listening to Zelenski because he keeps just talking like
there's no problem here and we're just going to keep
fighting and we're going to reject every opportunity for a
diplomatic outcome.

Speaker 1 (02:13:51):
So yeah, there's a problem. Well, and he's playing the
European Union to give money to them so they can
afford to pay the soldiers more. I guess as a
dangling Karen or something me pivot over the economic impact
that this war has had on the country itself. Is
anybody doing work, Is anybody you know performing labor that
results in taxpayer dollars going into support the Ukrainian government

(02:14:14):
for whatever it needs to do. I mean, with that
many people gone and the country being war torn, I
don't know how people are even living their lives at
this point, Daniel Davis.

Speaker 2 (02:14:24):
Right, And a lot of that money doesn't just go
for soldiers that they're requesting, right, It goes to it
just to pay civil servants to keep the government functioning,
because exactly what you said, they don't have the tax
receipts to just fund the normal operations of their government.
So you're talking millions upon millions of dollars every day
just to keep the government running. So they can't do
that unless they have a NonStop trough feeding in from

(02:14:47):
Western Europe. Yet Western Europe is also struggling economically, so
I just don't see how any of this is sustainable.

Speaker 1 (02:14:54):
Yet you have just Elenski.

Speaker 2 (02:14:56):
It's the Western leadership that just stays just myopically focused
on ex putting some kind of a strategic defeat on
Russia without the means to do so. And that's the
irrational part. That's just causing the Ukraine country to just
continue to be ground to dust.

Speaker 1 (02:15:15):
Which I suppose feeds into Russia's position on this matter.
I mean, they don't have to move away from their position.
We've I mean, we sound like a broken record at
this juncture. Daniel Davis talking about this. Russia's position keeps
getting stronger the more the day's roll on. That just
means every day there's a thousand less Ukrainian soldiers on
the front line, or maybe fifteen hundred. I don't know.

(02:15:36):
But if this is a battle of attrition, Russia clearly
has the ball in its court. Why would they even
bother to negotiate? I mean, what's with this deadline? There's
a ceasefire deadline on Friday. I mean, I don't even
know what that means. Well, well, yeah, I mean what
it means.

Speaker 2 (02:15:52):
And is even more puzzling because President Trump, I think
it was yesterday or ready the day before, clarified. Yes,
this deadline is firm. It is this Friday, the eighth
of August, and probably there will be some sanctions put in.
But then, interestingly, he adds, but it probably won't do
any good. It probably won't make them change their mind.
And then one has to wonder, Look, it's not just

(02:16:14):
sanctions on Russia. It's secondary sanctions on China, India, Brazil
and several anyone who does business with Russia in the
the pedrocarbons area for oil and gas, and that look,
we're already having huge trouble getting the normal deals yeah
signed with specially with all three of those actually, and
especially India. That's the biggest one, because China's already kind

(02:16:36):
of antagonistic, but India's kind of is pliable to be
our friend or our ada exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:16:41):
This is not gonna help us.

Speaker 2 (02:16:43):
So I just don't understand where we're going with this.

Speaker 1 (02:16:45):
Well that I mean suggest Trump's kind of back into
a corner along those lines. He doesn't want to alienate India,
and he is trying to get a better relationship with
China in so far as trade deals are concerned. So
this hald throw a giant monkey wrench into the whole process.
I think you know the bluff has been called here.
It appears well, it does appear that unfortunately. You say

(02:17:07):
he's back into a corner, but he was the one
that made the corner, because he's the one who added
this or created this deadline. So I don't really understand
why did that. Maybe he thought just the threat of
it would cause Russia to do something. I don't know
why he initially did it, but now he is himself
acknowledging that it's unlikely, and I would say impossible, not
even unlikely. There's no chance, zero chance that Russia would

(02:17:31):
submit to what Trump wants, which would only benefit the
Ukraine side. They'll never do that, and so the front
line is going to continue to be chewing up Ukraine
troops and Russia will not stop. They clearly will not. Well,
let us assume, for the sake of discussion, you had
a more rational, thoughtful, contemplative leader in Ukraine, someone who
was willing to acknowledge how badly the situation is for them,

(02:17:52):
someone who might be willing to acknowledge some concessions to
the Russians in terms of some of the Russian dominated
areas that they have already taken over, conceding a partial
victory to Russia. That is a possibility to resolve the
broader conflict before Ukraine gets completely rolled over, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (02:18:11):
That's one of the things that the Russian side themselves
say that they are really frustrated about that deal that
you said has been on the table offered from the
Russian side since June of last year. Yeah, not this
past June. They've been saying it over and over and
they have never deviated from that, and they're still saying
the same things it's a draconian issue, there's no question
about it. It's an ugly deal for Ukraine, without question.

(02:18:33):
But it's much better, or maybe a better way to
say it, it's much less worse than the current situation
where you're dying by the large, by the bucket loads
every day. Just imagine how many people in Ukraine have
been killed since June of last summer, and how many
could have been saved if they had had the same
deal and instead of the worst one that they're going
to end up with. If Russia just physically mows all

(02:18:54):
the way to Kiev, that's what that. The woman said
that the parliamentarian. If nothing changed, just Russia could be
at the gates of Kia by the end of this year.

Speaker 1 (02:19:03):
Wow. Well, any change, chance for an administration change there,
a coup or something, I know, Marshal Owsman declared, which
is the only reason Lenski is still currently president. I mean,
you've got people protesting in the streets over you know,
snatching young men off the streets and throwing them into
the army against their will. If you have people fleeing
the country in order to avoid that, it sounds to

(02:19:24):
me like the population of Ukraine might choose a different
direction in terms of leadership.

Speaker 2 (02:19:29):
So far, there there is an increasing number that's doing that,
But so far the numbers of support for Zelensky are
still quite especially in the western parts where they don't
see the aspects of war. A lot of the people
in the eastern part where all the fighting and dying
and destroying is happening, which are large percentage of ethnic Russians,
actually there's there are a lot worse Zelensky than the

(02:19:51):
other people in the other part of the country. So
in terms of the people uprising, there's there's doesn't appear
to be any in iminent danger. But there are rumors
that some of the other folks in Ukraine, so the
Azol kind of the folks, other even possibly European people,
are tired of dealing with him, and there's some suggestion
that he consider stepping down, et cetera. But but so

(02:20:14):
far those are all just reports, and you know, someone
anonymous is reporting, so we don't know how valid those are.
But Zelenski can't help but be pretty nervous these days.

Speaker 1 (02:20:23):
I imagine. So I'm sorry, we're at a time we
can't get to Gaza and Israel. Something suggests to me
that that topic will still be alive and well for
our conversation next Tuesday. Daniel Davis Deep Dive. I find
him online, follow his podcast and tune in every Tuesday

Speaker 1 (02:21:43):
Forty fifty five per CD talk station Happy Today Extra
special the return of the next Governor of the State
of Ohio, v. Vake Ramaswamy, who was at the town
hall last night along with Christopher Smithman, who was on
the program earlier talking about that. Welcome back, Vvake, It
is a pleasure to have you on the program, and
thank you so much much for attending that town hall
last night. I'm sure you were actually quite enlightened. Although

(02:22:04):
you did a fantastic job with your ideas and suggestions.
You're just so impressive with your ability to deal with
questions on the fly. But what was your reaction to
the event overall? And welcome back to the morning show.

Speaker 5 (02:22:16):
It's great to be on my lot.

Speaker 20 (02:22:19):
It is that people are hungry to be heard because
this issue of crime in Cincinnati isn't just a one
off episode that came from a week and a half ago.

Speaker 5 (02:22:29):
What's clear to me is you hear the stories of
people who came last night. This is an issue that needs.

Speaker 20 (02:22:34):
To be addressed systemically, holistically, and so giving people a
chance to at least share their right.

Speaker 5 (02:22:41):
We heard from whose story is now well known.

Speaker 20 (02:22:44):
Her husband was killed in cold blood in her home
by a man who had managed to manipulate his own
ankle bracelet.

Speaker 5 (02:22:52):
Another mother who spoke last night, who had lost two sons. Yes,
this is staggering.

Speaker 20 (02:22:58):
Two gun violence in Cincinnati one but two sons killed
in our city, Cincinnaty.

Speaker 1 (02:23:03):
It was eye opening.

Speaker 20 (02:23:04):
And so I think the fact that we were able
to have open dialogue and some contrary views too that
you heard last night, yes, at least allowed us to
air that frustration rather than sweeping it under the rug.
And that is how I hope to lead this state.
Is not through agreeing on everything with everyone. That's impossible,
but at least having an open, respectful dialogue that brings
people and to harness as practical solutions in this case

(02:23:27):
to address the is true islan crime.

Speaker 5 (02:23:29):
And that's exactly what we're going to do.

Speaker 1 (02:23:31):
Yeah, and I guess you had some really terrific ideas.
I guess the frustrating part for me, and I can
only characterize it as frustrating. That was my kind of
my reaction you identified the problems we can address law
enforcement resources, allocation of law enforcement, increasing numbers of police department,
that kind of direct you know, on the street sort
of chains that could be brought about rather quickly. But

(02:23:53):
the broader, longer term problem and maybe the root of
the violence is a systemic problem. And you focused a
lot about bringing back accountability back to the family and
how important the family unit is, and it used to
be a societally stabilizing factor, but you know, the the
nuclear family disappeared shortly after the Johnson administrations welfare policies.

(02:24:18):
I mean, we talked about that a lot last night too.

Speaker 20 (02:24:22):
That's right, and I'm glad we got to those deeper
issues last night. So, first of all, the fact that
there are deeper issues shouldn't stop.

Speaker 5 (02:24:29):
Us from addressing some of the more superficial.

Speaker 20 (02:24:31):
Ways We can still get empowering cops to be able
to do their job, common sense, making sure that we're
not releasing repeat fount offenders on a minimal bond easily fixable,
bringing back mental health institutions to make sure that psychiatrically
ill people aren't just roaming the streets and aren't.

Speaker 5 (02:24:49):
Just filling up the jails.

Speaker 20 (02:24:50):
These are common sense things that we're going to be
able to take care of. But those aren't the root causes,
of course, and so the root cause a nuclear family
caused the breakdown of the nuclear family.

Speaker 1 (02:25:01):
I said this last night.

Speaker 20 (02:25:03):
I don't blame black people, I don't blame white people.

Speaker 1 (02:25:05):
I blame the.

Speaker 5 (02:25:06):
Government because it is our federal government.

Speaker 20 (02:25:09):
Starting with Lyndon Johnson's misnamed Great Society Project that we
started creating financial incentives for the breakdown of that nuclear family.

Speaker 5 (02:25:19):
Created a new culture of dependence in the United States
of America, and it's created a.

Speaker 18 (02:25:24):
New kind of new kind of emancipation proclamation that we
need today and emancipation from those failed government incentives that
have set back the very people who were supposedly supposed
to be helped.

Speaker 5 (02:25:37):
By those policies.

Speaker 20 (02:25:38):
And you know that's going to require some changes and
athids across the country.

Speaker 5 (02:25:42):
A lot of those are caused five federal law.

Speaker 20 (02:25:45):
But I'll tell you tile, I want us to be
a state that sets an example for the rest of
the country to say that, you know what, We're going
to create a generation of young people who were so
well educated through an education system that's no.

Speaker 1 (02:25:58):
Longer behind China.

Speaker 20 (02:25:59):
But ahead, it's economic opportunity, through economic activity, come into
the state to create good paying jobs that you don't
need to dependent on that federal welfare state because frankly,
it's be't good for individuals and it isn't sustainable.

Speaker 1 (02:26:14):
For our next anyway.

Speaker 5 (02:26:16):
I want us to be a state that's.

Speaker 1 (02:26:17):
Planning ahead for that future.

Speaker 20 (02:26:20):
And if we're fixing that education system, we're fixing those
root causes. Combine that with common sense reforms in our
judicial system and law enforcement, that's going to also create
a prosperous Cincinnati and prosperous cities across our state.

Speaker 5 (02:26:34):
And I think we have an opportunity to do. I mean,
this is why and this Brian.

Speaker 20 (02:26:37):
Is these are fixable issues. They want a state to
put a man on the mood. That's a scientific problem
that we solved.

Speaker 1 (02:26:43):
This is easy.

Speaker 20 (02:26:44):
By comparison, these are man made problems that have man
made solutions. We're not missing knowledge of how to do it.
What we're arguably missing is courage. And that's what I'm
bringing to the table, starting from the top and setting
that tone statewide. And I'm hoping that's gonna as we
saw last night, bring all kinds of people together of
different kinds of backgrounds, and political persuasion around those common

(02:27:06):
sense ideals that I do believe unite most people in
this state.

Speaker 1 (02:27:11):
Well, you did mention the judicial system, and that's one
of the more frustrating elements of all this. If we
had a mayor that was pro police and was outspoken
and support of police and communities working with police, that
would be great. If we had a police chief that
was measurably competent and good at allocating police resources and
had sufficient police numbers a contingent of police officers there

(02:27:31):
to help and serve the community, that would be great.
That problem can be fixed. But until you get to
the judicial system, assuming the prosecutor's office is willing to
prosecute people to the fullest extent of the law. The
failure in our area, this county particularly is with the
judges who don't seem to be interested in enforcing the
criminal law.

Speaker 20 (02:27:50):
Well, look, I think we got some very practical ideas
that we've even surfaced over the course of yesterday.

Speaker 1 (02:27:55):
And as you know, I'm born and raised in Cincinnati.

Speaker 20 (02:27:58):
Since day's my hometown, I feel that special sentence of
connection and also obligation to make sure that if our
hometownd is in making national example, it's in a positive light,
not a negative.

Speaker 1 (02:28:08):
Light like the last days.

Speaker 5 (02:28:10):
And so that's part of what I came back.

Speaker 20 (02:28:12):
And even during the visit, the town hall was obviously
publicly visible.

Speaker 5 (02:28:16):
If you just see how many people came out even
you're talking, we had thirteen hundred plus.

Speaker 20 (02:28:19):
RSVPs and the room was overflow space. Shows that people
are hungry to be heard. But at the same time,
you also you know, you also have to listen to
the people who disagree with you and may have different
perspectives as well. So over the course of the day,
I met with the mayor of Cincinnati, I met with
the police chief, I met.

Speaker 5 (02:28:37):
With law enforcement officers.

Speaker 20 (02:28:39):
Some of those police officers that the level of the
individual officers had great ideas that I learned a lot from.
I met with business leaders in and then we went
to the town hall. One of the practical ideas that
came out of several of those meetings and also at
the town hall is greater accountability through transparency for the
judges and the decisions that they actually make. And so

(02:29:00):
that's something that came out of the discussion we had
yesterday was the judges need to at least be publicly
visible and held to a standard of public transparency in
the decisions they're actually making. And you my son missed
me last night, so he's five years old and just
walked into the room, so you'll probably here.

Speaker 1 (02:29:16):
That's all right, enjoy it while it lasts.

Speaker 5 (02:29:24):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:29:24):
That transparency component goes a long way to educating the
public to help us make better, more informed decisions, because
unless you're involved in the criminal justice system, most people
don't have any ounce or wit of information about any
judicial candidate. They don't run in the party system. They
can't obviously render advisory opinions and tell you how they're
going to ruin any given circumstance, so that's out of

(02:29:45):
the out of the equation. They don't do debates, so
we're largely in the dark about where they stand on
any given topic and whether they're hard or soft on
crime that is reflected in their record, which is what
we need to see see.

Speaker 5 (02:29:58):
I think that's exactly it, right.

Speaker 1 (02:30:00):
I mean, you could have a debate go on.

Speaker 20 (02:30:02):
Is ruing on sort of the same types of issues
that a government candidate would be or a US presidential
candidate or even a congressional candidate. That's fair fine, but
at least making sure that the record is transparent to
the public. That information that belongs to the public. It
doesn't belongs to some sort of bureaucrat. It belongs to
the public that we, the voting public, deserve to know

(02:30:24):
because you can't hold them accountable at the ballot box
without that basic knowledge of what.

Speaker 5 (02:30:29):
That record is. So I'm just Protestsparency.

Speaker 20 (02:30:32):
I mean, we the people create a government that's accountable
to us the other way around.

Speaker 5 (02:30:36):
And the idea then left.

Speaker 20 (02:30:38):
The judge is going to make decisions on bond, on
sentencing without the public having credible, clear, preparent access to
that information is money, I think. And that was anyway
a productive construct dissolution. We don't care what target in
Democrat or Republican. That kind of transparency is something we
all ought.

Speaker 5 (02:30:58):
To be able to agree on.

Speaker 20 (02:30:59):
And that kind of common sense reform and common sense
sort of just basic policy making that I want to
breed this state that doesn't take knowledge. I mean, this
isn't rocket science right now, not complicated, it's kerch Ryan
And that's what I'm hoping to bring to the leadership
of this stick well.

Speaker 1 (02:31:17):
On behalf of all the residence city of Cincinnati. Thank
you so much for taking the time to listen to
the voices and hear the suggestions and understand the problems.
Hopefully we will find solutions and solve the broader crime
problem but also broader issues in the state. V. V
Ramaswami will be our next governor. Find him online learn
more about who he is. Brilliant obviously demonstrably so. And

(02:31:39):
you've got such great vision. And let me compliment before
we part company. Viveke, you are so inspirational. No one
can leave a meeting where we hear you speak and
feel like we're going in a bad direction. You're a
cheerleader for the state of Ohio and its future, and
I find that refreshing in a candidate, since we always
seem to, you know, go to the lowest common denominator

(02:32:01):
when we're dealing with politicians.

Speaker 5 (02:32:04):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (02:32:05):
Bruh.

Speaker 20 (02:32:05):
It means a lot and includes my hometown of Cincinnati.

Speaker 5 (02:32:08):
And everything our run.

Speaker 1 (02:32:09):
So thank you. I appreciate it.
