Joe Streker, Executi producer of the fifty five Carsee Morning show.
Brian Thomas right here inviting phone calls five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk
or pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Remember
fifty five Cars Dot Comedy can't listen live to Christopher

(01:23):
Smitheman on a Monday Plus, the Save Hyde Park Square
conversation continued yesterday with John Censer, which was an interesting
conversation and another thing that's going to get people motivated
to go to the polls in November. Do you want
to determine the outcome of your own neighborhood in terms
of zoning or do you want to leave it to
mayor aftab parvol and council right your neighborhood. You should decide.

(01:44):
I there's no argument on that one. Money money with
Brian jan and Jesday. Of course, Christopher Smitheman media bias
and racisms what he talked about yesterday. So don't don't
leave the fifty five Cassey Morning Show page with that
download of the iHeartMedia app. And thank you to all
all those who stream the audio on the iHeartMedia app.
I really appreciate it. It means the world to me. Well

(02:05):
of course listen terrestrially as well. Uh inside Scooby Bright
Part News. It is Tuesday. We do that every Tuesday
at eight oh five. Today, John Bender, our immigration reporter,
is gonna be talking about the ban on migrant truckers,
as well as the latest on the MS thirteen gang
member in the middle of deportation of the judge blocked
his deportation. This one's shining a light on the fact

(02:27):
that you have hell to pay if you can be
kicked out of the country. We're gonna kick you out
of the country. It's like a marketing campaign. And the
number of people who are self deporting has increased dramatically.
And I think because word's gotten out. Listen, take the
thousand dollars in the free air travel, get out of
the country. Otherwise here they're gonna drag you through the system.

(02:48):
You will get a deportation order. You will be ultimately
thrown out. You can go ahead, exercise you do process right.
You'll be hurt in the court of law and eventually
thrown out of the country. So fine, Daniel Davis deep
dive boy. We'll be a lot to talk about with
Daniel Davis in terms of the Russian Ukraine situation. Maybe
we'll get a couple of snippets on Gaza. Don't know,
we'll find out together at a thirty plus, we'll have

(03:09):
Lowell Scott, a cute hearing in about hearing aids at
eight forty four, I asked the expert, So that's the
show lined up this morning, and thanks again to Joe
for doing that yes yesterday. Since I Fraternal Laura of
Peace Lodge sixty nine, Ken Cobra President, I love this word.
Unanimously voted no confidence. May I have to have parvall

(03:32):
in a statement from FOP President can cover. This unanimous
vote of no confidence is a clear message from our
members that Mayor Provoll's leadership has fallen short in supporting
the men and women who protect the city every day,
from political interference in law enforcement to neglecting the well
being of officers in the community. These failures demand accountability
and change, well stated Ken. List of topics from the

(03:57):
FOP meeting bullet points. The mayor's inability to address situations
quickly demonstrated by his three day delay and even commenting
on Elm Street beat down my words taking a little
liberty with the bullet points, leaving officers in the community
in limbo. The administration's public comments and eventual order to

(04:19):
the city solicitor to force police to charge a felonious
assault victim with misdemeanor disorderly conducts solely to appease racial
tensions at the urging of a few community leaders, that
one's got him really in sence, they forced the police
to cite the guy who issued the slap, And if

(04:42):
you see the video leading up to the issuance of
the slap, you think maybe he was a little bit
justified in that in spite of the fact that he
didn't bring off the slab very well. Had someone hit
you with that level of force, you probably wouldn't even
have noticed it. FOP members have a complete lack of
faith in the mayor's ability to fix pressing issues or
lead the city effectively moving forward. Deciding to push politics

(05:03):
into the justice system is unforgivable, and the follow up
point the mayor's favor to condemn or largely even comment
on the actions of Iris Raleigh, even in direct contact
with FOP leadership, while he claims he disagrees with her behavior,

(05:24):
of course he's Ken's referring to the incident involving Iris
Rowley interfering with the police officers doing their duty, that
will be her behavior. While he claims he disagrees with
her behavior, he refuses to acknowledge that an individual on
a lucrative city contract likely exceeding six figures, should be
accountable to anyone.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
What do purvoal I.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Have to say about this in a statement. I'll give
credit to WCPO providing in a statement shared with us
in this particular case, wc reporting, although I think it
was a general statement issue to the public. Provole said
he doesn't believe the FOP vote reflects the work we've
done in collaboration with our officers. Quote, we've had the

(06:16):
backs of law enforcement without fail every step of the
way since taking office. Huh, Hey, just Drucker. If he
says it, does that make it true? No, that's a
politician's Yeah, I know, I'm asked. It's a rhetorical question.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
I know that.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
We He went on to say, increase police funding to
address staffing challenges faced by cities across the nation. Um,
that problem has been going on for years. I appreciate
that he was part of the defund police, anti police sentiment.
Police are all racist. We need to rethink police. That's
have to have Provole. He's in that sort of segment

(06:57):
of the Democrat Party who thinks that why maybe the
police would generally bad and have a comment on that
as well, or actually an explanation on that, and it
comes from New York.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
But wait for a minute.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
So we've increased police funding to address staffing challenges. I
note that one of them. I mean he recently announced
two million dollars to hire some lateral hires. That was
after the riot, So prior to the right, apparently they
were sitting on at least two million dollars. And I'm
sure they've got a pile of money someplace else that

(07:34):
they could probably throw it some green project or some
project involving in equity on some level. But money maybe
out there somewhere in the city budget that they could provide,
maybe more to fund police. But they didn't address that.
They didn't mention spending additional two million dollars to hire
lateral police officers in the city until after the riot,
along with some additional lighting and some changes in patrols.

(07:57):
Those were the aftermath. Those came in the aftermath of
the beatdown. What was he doing prior to that? I
go back to every single one, almost every single one.
This isn't a criticism of Christopher Smith, but he's every Monday,
he's on a tear about something and likely in many
cases it involves the silence, the deafening silence from the

(08:18):
mayor all the way through all the council members regarding
support of the police department, nothing is said. Silence can
be deafening. You want to show support for the police
department and get out loud and start showing support for
the police department. Otherwise you sit on your hands and
you remain quiet, and maybe people draw conclusions that you're
not supporting the police. Anyway, we've went on to the

(08:41):
statement back to AFT have pro wile we've supported requests
for new lateral classes and additional resources. Again, I think
that came after the riots, and I have further funding
increases in the pipeline as we speak. Oh okay, thanks
for letting us know. Yesterday after the FOP condemnation, he
went on, I have been proud to stand with our

(09:04):
officers at every turn as they make sacrifices to protect residents.
All of us have a common goal the health and
safety of those we serve. This is a time to
work together and continue improving safety in our city. We
will not be letting up on that work, and we
will not be letting up on our investments in law
enforcement to make cities safe as possible. A lot of words.

(09:27):
I don't think they accurately reflect the timeline relating to
his support, which seemed to have only popped up in
the aftermath of the beatdown. Now here's maybe your answer
to what the hell is going on out there in
the left wing world insofar as it's perception of law enforcement.
Y'all heard of Zorhan Mundami, the Kami guy who's running

(09:52):
for mayor and may very well be the mayor of
of New York City. Also, I think he's a member
of the Democrat Socialists of America. He's been linked to
this organization in many, many articles reporting on how far
left this Zorhan zoron Mom Donnie guy is. Now I

(10:13):
asked for the Democrats Socialists of America. This is maybe the
key saying the quiet part out loud. Perhaps they call
policing and detention instruments of class war designed to, in

(10:33):
their words, quote, guarantee the domination of the working class
and also demanding an end to what it calls, quote
the criminalization of working class survival, saying for all the
working class to achieve collective liberation, we must constrain, diminish,

(10:57):
and abolish, abolished the carceial forces of the state from
prisons and policing themselves to their manifestations in all forms
throughout society. Well, there you go, working class survival. So
the folks going out into the streets and stealing, robbing,

(11:18):
liberating your property from you, smashing your windows open and
taking whatever's in your car, stealing things from store shelves,
stealing food from your local Kroger, who then closes doors
because the profit margins so low it can't afford to
keep a store open when people are stealing from it.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
You know.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
That's the corollary on these state run or these city
run grocery stores that Zora and Mondani wants to put in.
Does that mean do you think just because the city
is running the grocery store at taxpayer expense, that people
aren't going to steal from it. That's the reason private
industry leaves certain neighborhoods they can't afford to keep the

(11:58):
doors open. Working class survival is that what they call it.
That'd be one thing that people stealing from stores were
actually working. I suspect many or not many, maybe on
public welfare assistance and snap and food stamp or whatever.
You know, we've got a lot of public event benefits

(12:19):
out there that are readily available. In other words, you know,
you can go ahead and hook yourself up in the
milical court of public handouts. You wouldn't have to steal
from the store. They'll give you a snap card anyway.
Criminalization of working class survival. So let's get rid of
the criminal justice system completely. What would the world look like, Hm,

(12:43):
who's going to create the goods that end up on
the store shelves if they decriminalize you know, mostly these
these lower level crimes. Anyway, that may answer the question,
Or you're just to useful idiot who thinks the police
are inherently bad and can't appreciate the broader picture of

(13:05):
what happens in a world where the police disappear. Oh,
that's right, that's what we're living here, apparently in the
city of Cincinnati. Five on three, seven four nine, fifty
five hundred eight hundred two three talk pound five fifty
on AT and T phone stick around. We've got more
to talk about it if you're right back.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station, our iHeartRadio.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Musical Channel nine first one of wether forecasts got a
Sunday partly cloudy day to day seventy three, and they
know that's ten degrees below normal. Oh my god, globe,
we'll cooling a few clouds over night, fifty three for
the low sunny and miles tomorrow seventy six, fifty five
overnight with a few clouds and mostly sunny Thursday with
the highest seventy eight right now fifty four, fifty five

(13:45):
dare CD talk station five one three seven fifty five
hundred eight hundred eight two three talk Fi Fi fifty
hundred eight and T phone. Maybe it's a political setup,
continuing with the you know, the theme generally femeing of
crime and moving off to national issues. In terms of crime,

(14:05):
Donald Trump coourt make showing the world what extra law
enforcement can do in Washington, d C. It's got a
lot of lefties all angry and mad just for the
sake of I think, because Donald Trump did it. I
think if you pull generally the residents of Washington, d C.
They're probably pretty damn happy that they can drive around
without worrying about their car getting jacked. But all these

(14:28):
threats about sending a National Guard and doing the same
thing in other cities. I don't think Trump has legal
authority to do it unless he's going to specifically send
them there to protect federal property. So we'll let the
lawyers argue that out in court if in fact he
does it. But he kind of backed off a little
bit in a certain way. He said, you really want
to be asked to go. In other words, he's appealing

(14:49):
to the cities to just say, Donald Trump, would you
please help me by sending in the National Guard? You
really want to be asked to go. I hate to
barge in on a city and then be treated horribly
by corrupt politicians and bad politicians. I don't like going
to a town, city, place, a state and then be
criticized by some corrupt or incompetent governor where crime is rampant.

(15:13):
But I'm really saying, and I say this to all
of you, this is a general appeal to the masses
in a certain way. We should wait to be asked
because they have cities that are so out of control,
so if we go in and fix it, they take
full credit for it. So I'd like to, you know,

(15:34):
district of Columbia where the federal government holds some authority
over policing in the National Guard. Of the cities have
more local control. Most other states, local governor controls the
national Guard. But here he is, he's showing the world,
look at the statistics. DC had run away a crime,
and I know the numbers have been jiggering ate that.
And there's a lot of accusations going around that they

(15:54):
have hidden the crime statistics in Washington, d C. Making
it look like crime has gone down precipitously when it
really is not. Some investigations have been launched along those lines,
and some whistleblowers have popped up out of the woodwork saying, hey,
I've been told to change the nature of the citation
I issued. I was there, I'm the one that saw
the crime. I'm the one that wrote it up, and
yet my superiors tell me to reduce it and make

(16:16):
it look like something that isn't nearly as bad. So
it's well documented and a lot of information is going
to come out about that, so they want to paint
the appearance to crime has come down. But Trump has
demonstrated that the significant increase in the presence of law
enforcement brings down crime. The statistics bear this out. There
has not been a murder in Washington, d C. Now
in more than a couple of weeks, when they got

(16:38):
one on average every thirty six hours before the troops
went in. So here's the solution he is showing the country,
and all you need to do is ask that's the
appropriate way. And if enough folks and these crime ridden
cities get really, really angry, maybe they'll pressure their left
wing governors, mayors and local officials officials to take Trump

(17:01):
on his offer. Hey, I can't even go out in
my front door without fear of getting shot or robbed
or raped or mugged or had my car smashed into.
I want more law enforcement. It works, look DC interesting. Yeah,
maybe that'll happen. If not, just sit back with the

(17:25):
popcorn out and watch these cities. I kiss Crumble. Jay's
on the phone, Jay, hold on. I see that it's
five twenty five, already out of time in this segment.
Happy to take your call before we get the local
stories or any other calls that want to come in.
We'll go with those first. I'll be right back after
these brief words. Fifty five KRC. Here it is Channa

(17:45):
nine worse first one and one to forecast Sunday to
partly cloudy today. Seventy three is the high love it,
A few clouds of a ninth fifty three tomorrow sunny
mile seventy six, A few clouds of a night fifty five,
and a sunny day on Thursday with the highest seventy
eight fifty five degrees. Right now, KRCB Talk Station in Tuesday,

(18:06):
Happy one, five, one, two three talk over the bones
of Go Guy, Jay and Tom and Aline.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
Jay.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
You're first man, Thanks for holding over the break. Welcome
to the morning show.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
Hey, thanks Brian.

Speaker 7 (18:17):
Hey, I wanted to congratulate the FOP. Uh. That's the
way you do it, coach and uh any other union,
police or fire or any other public union. Now is
this time to stand up and recognize your Democrat party.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Is failing you.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
And the other thing that I would I would suggest
to the FOP is, you know, don't forget that the
Cincinnati Reds recently recognized Irish Rawley for her work in
the community to improve the relations between the community and
the police.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
Now, now that's a one sided statement where the Cincinnati
Reds are saying we like her behavior, we like her stance,
we are a wording or publicly in this ballpark full
of people, and your conservatives can suck it.

Speaker 8 (19:05):
Watch this old might beer.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Watch this.

Speaker 8 (19:07):
We're going to give her an award.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
I think the FOP they're not obligated to go provide
a traffic or protection or security to any private business
in the state of Ohio or in the city of Cincinnati.
So I would I would encourage them to send a
strong message to the Reds that maybe they're not going

(19:30):
to take on that work. And you know, they've got
Irish Rawley who's a consultant with lots of good ideas.
Maybe she'd come up with who's going to direct the
traffic and take care of all of the tasks that
happened on all those Reds games through that big long
season and send a message to the Cincinnati Reds And
if that's that's what you're going to stand up an

(19:51):
award and that's what you're going to instead of standing
up for the police, how about the police officers of
the of Cincinnati or you know, recognize that standing service
for them at the Reds games.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
An idea people are to go out and literally put
their lives on the line to protect and serve the
residents of the city of Cincinnati, far more worthy of
some sort of salute and tribute than Iris Roli, who
really does not like the police.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
Absolutely made it known again and again and again.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
So so ergo the Cincinnati Reds do not like the police.
Whenever they back somebody who is anti police. Oh again,
this is a very left wing organization, the Cincinnati Reds.
They were big on BLM. I remember, you know, I'll
say it again, Joey Vado almost cheerfully apologizing for his

(20:44):
white privilege. They all took a knee during BLM. I
know a lot of sports teams did, but the Reds
just keep you know, they have a long history of this.
So I would encourage everybody in the in the city,
don't support the redsquit watch in the NFL. Don't vote,
as PM says, as trademarked by Tom.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
He's waiting for you.

Speaker 8 (21:05):
Don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Thanks Jay, segue over to Tom. Welcome to the Morning Show.
Your catchphrase is really caught on Tom.

Speaker 9 (21:15):
Yeah, I think I think we should turn this into
the dynamic.

Speaker 8 (21:19):
Duo of Jay and Tom. I know, I don't know
if it's like Deanon, Dean and Jerry or whatever.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
I don't know, hey, man.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
I listen the phone numbers open to anybody. He just
guys happened to currently dominate the five o'clock hour for
whatever reason. I don't mind it. It's an it's an
interesting conversation in exchange, and I get a kick out
of especially in the five o'clock hour and still trying
to wake up.

Speaker 9 (21:41):
Yeah, and I appreciate it. Jay, by the way, thank
you very much. Uh And and Jay always brings a
lot of insight with with facts and figure as he
does research, and I appreciate it. Gives me information that
I didn't necessarily have. I have a I have a
real life situation that is a mic cousin of what's

(22:03):
going on.

Speaker 8 (22:04):
And we all have experienced this to some extent.

Speaker 9 (22:08):
So I told you that we have a grandchild living
with us. I'm pretty sure I told you got a
one year old and.

Speaker 8 (22:15):
So at home, we've got.

Speaker 9 (22:16):
Grandma and granddad, Mommy and daddy and one year old daughter. Okay, So,
and one year old is now to the point where
she's grabbing a things, she's reaching for stuff, she wants to,
you know, do whatever. And and she has learned now
to pay attention to who's watching her, and she knows

(22:39):
what she can get away with based on who's watching her.
Because after Granddad says one time, don't touch that, if
she touches it again, Granddad will get up and we'll
come over and get her hand and pull it off.

Speaker 8 (22:55):
I mean she knows. So she's she.

Speaker 9 (22:57):
Looks at Granddad and she reaches out and ill like,
how to do now is tilt my head and she pulls.

Speaker 8 (23:03):
Her hand away.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
You're the Harry Eyeball.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
Members of the family.

Speaker 9 (23:06):
Other members of the family do not necessarily get that
same reaction. Why because of how they reacted to it.
What did they do when when one year old granddaughter
did or didn't do something and whatever, how did they react.
So sometimes she she'll just blow them off because she knows.

Speaker 8 (23:29):
They don't do anything. They don't they.

Speaker 9 (23:31):
Don't actually get up and back up what they're saying,
but granddad does. So, yeah, that's a microcosm of what's
going on, miss mister Trump. President Trump said enough enough,
set the National Guard into Washington, d C. And the
reason why crime is down because criminals saw that what

(23:51):
he's doing, like, no, I'm not dealing with that, right,
And that's exactly what it takes. It's human nature. We're
dealing with people, and Democrats are not only not willing
to do what's necessary, they are encouraging as bad behavior
in insteativizing it. So as Jay and I say, don't
vote Democrat, have a great day, Brian.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
You do the same. I was thinking of a parallel there,
or dog Liam. He knows the soft touch. That's why
his head lays on my lap. He sits on the
ground on the floor while we're eating dinner and puts
his head on my lap because he knows he's more
likely to get a bite of food from the table
when he does that than any other person at the table.

(24:33):
My wife notably refuses to give him any scraps from
the table. Maybe a poor dog owner, am I. But
it does illustrate the point five point thirty five fifty
five care seat the talk station. I love saving money
and I love getting great service for less money. And
that's what you get a foreign exchange. You get your
car fixed full WARNTEM parts and service by a NACY
certified Master technician with your manufacturer's technical information at their disposal.

(24:58):
They can fix it all from any European car, any
Asian car, imported or manufactured here in the United States.
If it is traditionally European or Asian or Tesla, You're
in the best possible hands at Foreign Exchange because you
will get that full warrant, ten parts and service. They
will treat you great. Customer service is outstanding, and you
don't pay as much. The point of Foreign Exchange existence

(25:19):
to show you that, yes they're a profitable company, but
they don't charge you near as much as the dealers.
So don't go to the dealer. Go to Foreign Exchange.
You'd be happy. Westchester location is the one I've been
going to now for probably ten years. I lost track
when we started going there, but all the cars that
we have imported, and so that's where we go because
not under warrantin my car is now not under warranty,

(25:40):
but all throughout the warranty period I went to Foreign
Exchange for oil change. Is my favorite illustration. I saved
more than two hundred dollars every oil change I know.
I've saved thousands over the years going to Foreign Exchange,
and you can too. Westchester location Tylersville egged off of

have Cory on the line. Let's go with Corey first.
Thanks for calling this morning, Corey, Welcome to the Morning.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Show Born on Brian.

Speaker 8 (27:14):
Hey.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
It's time of year again, got the fireworks coming up,
and once again the fireworks promoters in the city of
Cincinnati is trying to ban people from carrying guns at
the WBN fireworks. Again, as we know from past experiences,
they cannot do that regardless of what the science says.

(27:35):
So this reminder anybody who's wanting to go down there
and want to carry because of the crime of Cincinnati,
get every right to carry despite what those signs say.
You can open carry, you can still carry. You can
carry your pistol, you can carry your ar whatever your
heart desires, you can carry. And on a side note,

(27:58):
the Supreme Court has repeated least said the face have
no right to protect you. Your protection is up to you.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
It's your duty ability not to stop.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
So I encourage everybody to carry everywhere they go.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Yeah, but the police have no duty to protect you.
Not right to protect you. Just correct that one little yeah,
now that's okay. Just want to make sure the record
is clear on that one. And insofar as carrying, I'm
not an open carry fan, Corey, you know that. I
just I think to me, it just I know there
are people out in the world that just freak out
over the presence of a firearm and they're crazy. And

(28:34):
I think they're insane or stupid for freaking out of
the presence of a firearm because they responsible, law abiding
citizen carrying one is a defender of their life as
well as the person carrying it. But by openly carrying,
sometimes you get people all ginned up and agitated to
create an opportunity for someone to freak out or otherwise
interact with you. And that's not a great thing. You

(28:54):
got the concealed carry. It's concealed.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
So that's just me.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
You draw your own conclus llusions in terms of open care.
Uh seven D two three talk go to the stack
is stupid. Go to Florida, which is kind of tradition.
We got a Florida guy behind blars for allegedly headbutting
his girlfriend after she became upset when he began watching
porno while they were having sex. Court to please, are

(29:23):
you doing that well? I guess you can probably conclude
on your own anyway. Forty three old Donald Naples and
the victim engaged in what were described in the court
records as consensual sexual intercourse. When Naples simultaneously began watching
some adult entertainment on the two it was three o'clock

(29:44):
in the morning, didn't sit well with the fifty year
old victim. The woman became and this is in quote,
upset by the defendant's actions and told him to stop.
She also directed him to well complete what he was
engaged in at the moment, what paraphrasing what was in

(30:06):
their records. During the argument following, Naples allegedly headbutted the
victim in the nose, causing significant bleeding. Woman taking a
local hospital treator for her injuries. The best scheduled report
of the couple had been in a romantic relationship for
about six months. He's read his rights. Naples declined to
provide police with a statement. Since he has a previous

(30:27):
battery conviction on his record, the charge against him was
enhanced to a felony count. He was locked up in
lieu of a ten thousand dollars bond in order to
have no contact with the victim. Arrested last year for
methamphetamine possession, eventually pleaded to a reduced paraphernalia charge. Also
his convictions for robbery, weed possession, resisting, and violating approbation

(30:48):
on his rap sheet Columbia, South Carolina described as a
funny incident and active shooter warning went out to the
campus of the University of South Carolina speaking of open
carry Corey. After people thought a guy carrying an umbrella

(31:12):
had a rifle. Whoops, they suggest maybe it was one
of the mega death assault umbrellas they got shot him
walking across the bridge with an umbrella in his hand.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, uh.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
So, don't open carry your umbrella.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
By forty five fifty five Krcity talk station. And prevent
your house from burning down. One of the ways one
of the ways the house can burn down is a
chimney that has been ignored and left to uh well,
a wood burning chimney anyway, creosote built up from the wood.

It is flammable. It lights on fire, it'll either crack

fire number two after the lining is cracked, as the
one that might burn your house down. But if the
idea of your house burning down is a little concerning
to you, you have a wood burning fireplace and you

wrong truck. The actual owner was had left with thousands

(34:57):
of dollars in damage. She was taken to jail for
the night, pleaded guilty, Pleaded guilty and placed on sixty
months probation. Violated her probation terms, and now there's a
new warrant for her arrest. She's got three priors on
a record for drugs as well as other probation violations.
Oh and Rick wanted to know what color the umbrella was.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Black.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
That was from the last segment. So they're on corvette Ah.
Fifty one year old Colorado man who strangled his wife
to debt and then took a break to smoke a
cigarette and drink a soda while the paramedics were trying
to save her life going to be spending the next
two decades in jail.

Speaker 11 (35:45):
What the hell?

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Brian Mrvin formerly pleaded guilty last week to one kind
of second agree murder in a twenty twenty four slang
of cherry comer. He initially was charged with first degree
murdering his wife's death. Before pleading guilty the lesser charge,
states judge subs quently ordered him to serve twenty five
years in the joint. Incident occurred Tuesday, August twentieth, twenty four,

(36:08):
at the home on the North Adams Street in Denver.
Denver Police Department said Mervin flag someone down to call
nine one one a little after six in the evening,
stating he found his wife on the ground struggling to breathe.
At Least say, Mervin was in his home and he
appeared to be breathing heavily and sweating profusely. When they
showed up, first responders found Comber unresponsive on a bed,

(36:30):
probably cause, Affidavid said. Medical personnel noted significant bruising and
abrasions on her neck, telltale signs, and other injuries consistent
with strangulation. Emergency personnel administering aid to the victim in
the ambulance outside their home. Least report. They noted that
Marvin appeared unconcerned and he remained inside to smoke a
cigarette and drink a soda. Comber taken a local hospital

(36:53):
pronounced dead after body was taken to the corner's office.
Officials noted additional wounds, including scratch, scratches and bruises on
her back, were consistent with someone being dragged through heavy brush,
clothing covered in dirt and debris. Mervin's story behind the
incident a little bit unclear. Section of the document about
what he allegedly told police heavily redacted. However, read the

(37:13):
Affidet reportally noted several inconsistencies in the story he told
police when questions about his wife's unexplained serious injuries. One
witness reportedly told investigators they heard him and the victim arguing,
but didn't see any physical confrontation between the two. Two
neighbors reportedly said they heard frequent arguing between the man
and the woman, as well as someone possibly throwing items

(37:34):
around the inside of the home. Yeah, I'm surprised I
didn't Netta just walk away on that one. Joe uh
Rescue crews and Wolf County saved two women who were
stuck in a hot tub. Wolf County Search and Rescue

(37:56):
reported the group of women in their eighties relaxing in
the hot tub in a remote cabin. Search and rescue
team said two of the women couldn't couldn't get out
of the hot tub because of pre existing issues. They
began to overheat showed signs of hyperthermia before losing consciousness.
Another member of their group got in the hot tub
with them to ensure that they didn't drown, while others

(38:19):
called nine to one one Search and Rescue in the
sheriff's office. All responded. EMS crew also requested, but wasn't
immediately available. Search and Rescue reported by the time they
got there, the caretakers of the cabin had already gotten
the two women out of the water, one of the
women partially responsive, the other unresponsive and was in critical condition.
EMT assisted the two women in more critical condition taken

(38:42):
to the shower inside the cabin, where she was cooled
down in the shower with cold water and ice. The
other woman cooled down with cold compresses until she was revived.
Half hour after women began to recover and were taken
to a nearby hospital. The Search and Rescue team said
the incident serves as a reminder limits soak times in
hot tub to make sure you can exit the tub
before you get in it. Okay, recommend a maximum length

(39:10):
to hot tub soak, They say, fifteen to thirty minutes.
Coming up in five efty six ffty five krc DE
talk station, lots of talk about FLP, saying no to
have to have pur ball and what's with the presidential
order banning the burning of American flags? Maybe not quite

(39:30):
so clear as that statement, which is basically what everyone's
concluding the executive order is sad there is a Supreme
Court opinion on that. Got lots to talk about coming up.
I hope you can stick around to be right back Today's.

forward to seeing Shelley again, followed by yay, perfect timing

(40:15):
thanks to just Tracker, and of course a nod to
Ken cob fop President Chapter sixty nine Cincinnati Police Department
about the no confidence vote unanimous no confidence vote against
Mayor aftab Provall yesterday in a statement Ken said, the
unanimous vote no confidence is a clear message from our members.
The Mayor Provoll's leadership has fallen short and supported the
men and women who protect this city every day, from

(40:37):
political interference and law enforcement to neglecting the well being
of officers and the community. These failures demand accountability and
underscore the word change. Welcome to the opportunity for change.
Moving fast forward to November and elections where you'll have
an opportunity to vote Mayor Aftab Provoll out of office.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
FOP.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
I think endorse Ken Cober before I get onto Ken's up, beg,

Just Trekker correcting me. Still not quite awake yet. Of
course that's what Joe's for. You have no idea how
many times Joe corrects me, So I always give Joe credit.
Without Joe, the show wouldn't go flp endorsed Corey Bowman
Corey Bowman dot com. Anyway, before we get to that,
Bobby's on, you can call two five, one, three, seven,

(41:31):
four nine fifty two to three talk Bobby, Good morning,
Welcome back to the Morning Show.

Speaker 14 (41:37):
Happy Tuesday, my friend, I tell you we haven't announced
or talked to that. We had more shootings in downtown
Cincinnati last night.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Oh yeah, here real quick, see here dozens of gunshots
fired into Westwood apartment. That headline from Fox nineteen thirty
year old man seriously injured at West Price Hill shooting.
That one from WCPO. So yeah, a couple of shootings
right there, Actually multiple shootings, dozens of gunshots into an
apartment on that Westwood issue.

Speaker 14 (42:08):
If if you find any place in Cincinnati that's welcome
to a fair skin, blue ideavil, would you let me know.
I mean, there's no place is welcome. I mean in
the Museum Center. They don't want the police there anymore.
They don't care about you know, your patrons or anything.
You can't go to a football game with the kids anymore.

(42:29):
They need to have those at nine o'clock in the morning.
That way the thugs won't show up. It's real easy
correct the problems. We starve them out. That's how I feel.
Don't spend any money in Cincinnati. If you don't spend
the money there, in eighteen months, they'll go belly up,
be crying the blues, and.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
It'll make the city that much more dangerous and dilapidated
and well less likely to draw anyone into the city
of Cincinnati.

Speaker 14 (42:59):
I can't help they put them there. The people in
Chicago and all these other Democrat run cities, they're all
upside down.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Who do you blame to them?

Speaker 3 (43:08):
It's possible, Well, just try to maintain some measure of
positivity and optimism. You know, people ultimately can learn a lesson.
People can ultimately choose to change the course in the
direction of the city in elections, and they've got an
opportunity to do that in November.

Speaker 14 (43:24):
So that's why we have correctional institutions where people can't
pay attention.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
That is correct. Question is can you find a judge
who will use those correctional institutions as a mechanism to
show everybody else who was inclined to commit crime that
they shouldn't because they'll end up incarcerated. That's the entire
basis of the criminal justice system.

Speaker 14 (43:46):
One thing and I'll let you go, and it's the
most important thing in the world. Was that just don't
vote Democrat, period.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Fair enough, continuing a theme here of the firfty five
years in worship, Bobby, have a wonderful day eighty two
to three talk that's gonna be like the old Russelan Boditos,
the dittos rush did. Everybody said that, so don't vote Democrat. Brian,
I got something else to talk about. Ken cober fop

(44:18):
pre they're gonna be joining the program at seven thirty
had this to say op ed contributor to since I inquire.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Props to Ken.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
The eyes of the nation are on Cincinnati in the
wake of the downtown beat down, Yet our city leaders
have failed us. They've allowed criminals to roam our streets.
They created an environment where criminals and every other sort
of ungovernable menace thinks to immune from justice. When the
video of the beating at Fourth and Elm Street went viral,
even those who don't risk nighttime trips into downtown, Bobby

(44:49):
got a wide eyed view of the lawlessness. Rather than
resolve the underlying problems, since any politicians and their puppets
tried to blame, shift and shuffle away from the responsibility.
As president of our cities Forternal Order of Police Lodge,
people ask me every day how things could have gotten
this bad. The truth is, it's been bad for a
long while. I wish I could encourage people to walk

(45:11):
around the Queen's City unafraid and unworried, But the danger
from out of control crime is real, and the danger
dials up to breaking point when activists, dividers, and agitators
try to turn a public safety crisis into an argument
about race. We've asked the city countless times to help
us protect the community beloved with more officers, but we're
still about two hundred officers short.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
And that's more than a number.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
It's a whole neighborhoods without patrol, a patrol car nearby,
whole districts waiting longer for help. Additionally, law enforcement is
facing one of the worst recruitment crisis in decades. From
dwindling state pension benefits to NonStop anti police rhetoric, officers
everywhere are stretched thin. Cincinnati's no different, but here our

(45:58):
city leaders have made the problem worse by showing our
officers and the nation just where their priorities lie and
how they've dealt with the aftermath of this terrible incident.
Having a full police force may not have prevented the
viral fracas from breaking out, but it certainly would have
meant a more to officers had more officers close by
ready to step in before serious injuries occurred. We want

(46:19):
to protect the community, but the city certainly hasn't fully
supported our efforts to do just that. City leadership could
have seen this incident as a wake up call. Instead,
they've pushed this snooze button, ignoring this volatile crisis rather
than condemned the violence. Councilwoman Victoria Parks claimed the victims
of the mob attack were somehow quote begging for that

(46:40):
beat down close quote handsomely paid consultant and anti police
agitator Iris Rawley echoed that sentiment, essentially saying the victims
deserve to be assaulted. That's just one reason why more
than five thousand people signed a petition for Rolly to
be fired. We're still waiting for the city to act
up right there. This incident would already be hugely embarrassing

(47:02):
failure of the city leadership played out on the national stage.
But Mayor have to have provall in his administration simply
don't know when to quit now. They put a thumb
on the scale, bowing to the mob. Specifically, this past week,
city Solicitor Emily Stewart Warner ordered the police department to
charge one of the victims of the mob attack with

(47:23):
misdemeanor disorderly conduct the victim.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
You read that right.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
They say the person was injured should be punished. The
order even came after Cincinnati police and Hamilton County prosecutors
agreed that charges against the victim were not appropriate. Yet
Provall sang a different song and was music to the
ears of the anti police chorus. This isn't just a
failure of leadership. It's a betrayal of our citizens who

(47:51):
don't want officials to vilify victims while legitimizing the lawbreakers.
The officers I Kancobra FOP President present, will continue to
defend the community we serve with the officers we have. However,
to make our neighborhoods genuinely safer, the city must invest
in our police force and get more officers on the street.

(48:14):
We need leadership that listens to its citizens, not activists
with agendas. They can draw a parallel on that comment
with the zoning regulations. Huh need to listen to its citizens, maybe,
he concludes. Until then, the cast we've seen will only grow,
and the trust between our community and its protectors will
continue to erode. Cincinnati's future depends on action, no excuses.

(48:36):
Let's demand it now and definitely demanding it in the
form of that no confidence vote against mayor perval. And
of course you have options. As we move closer and
closer to November, you might want to consider them. West
Side gems on the phone, Hold on west Side amount
of time in the segment. But I know I need
to hear from you, and I don't want to cut
that conversation short. First, let me mention Gate of Heaven Cemetery.

(48:57):
These trying times need a moment to refer, a moment
to reflect and celebrate life and think about life and
think about death as well. You know, one thing's guaranteed,
death and taxes. But the Gate of Heaven Cemetery is
where they honor life on sacred ground, serving the Cincinnti
Christian community for more than seventy seven years. It is

(49:18):
absolutely beautiful there at the cemetery. Seems kind of like,
you know, it's like, why would you go to a
cemetery because it's beautifully maintained and the concept is thinking
about life through birth, life milestones and of course passing
on to eternal life. Gate of Heaven recognizing the revers
the sacredness of every phase of the human journey. So
enjoy the peaceful calm surroundings, the beautiful landscaping, the trees,

(49:39):
the flowers, reflect prey, and enjoy the beauty of God's creation.
Right there, Gate of Heaven Cemetery. To learn more, go

Speaker 10 (50:39):
Eastbound looks great, Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC eight
talk station.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Six nineteen Happy Tuesday. Marin Thomas always inviting phone calls
five on three seven four nine fifty five hundred eight
hundred eight two three talk I always love it when
we hear from Westsaie Jim, Jim, Welcome back, my friend.

Speaker 15 (50:55):
Good morning, Brian Thomas. Hey, first thing I want to
do is compliment the police officers for having the guts
to stand up against this regime down there. I just
hope that the sentinels, the Axe me and maybe fire
will back them up also because that could be a
tipping point and this election come up in November.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Well, the sentinels, isn't that the black of the organization
within the police department?

Speaker 14 (51:22):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Okay, So let me ask you this, because I'm not
quite sure on the logistics of this. If the FOP
voted unanimously, then doesn't that necessarily include the subset of
the black police officers, which would be the sentinels?

Speaker 12 (51:37):
No?

Speaker 15 (51:37):
No, okay, not necessarily. I mean there are still is
the black officers in the FOP, but I don't know
of any white officers or in the sentinels. So it's
basically it's it's years and years ago. They started their
own organization because they thought that they weren't getting your representation.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Okay, out of the FOP, all right.

Speaker 15 (51:58):
Got shooting last night West Price Hill Brian. That was
that was about a block and a half from my house.
Oh yeah, it's it's a it's a promise, a really
bad promise, that that will happen again. They've had swat there,
They've had several shootings there that gentleman, I understand is
about a thread from dying. So the city has failed again.

(52:22):
And in another instance where they could have went after
the landlords, which they are in town landlords in this one,
it's not one of those out of town thanks, and
you know they just keep, you know, pushing it under
the carpet and saying, well, well, you just hope nothing happens.
And that goes back to kind of if we had
more cops, the cops aren't going to stop these shootings.

(52:43):
I'm not one to say two hundred more cops are
going to stop these shootings and the killings and everything else.
But if you put a presence of these police officers
driving up and down the street, it does. It's a
deterrent that there are officers in the area.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
Well, isn't that Well, isn't that what Trump is demonstrating
in Washington, DC? Correct, they just show up. You put
two thousand people on the streets and people that are
inclined to commit crime. This is like the whole idea.
If you had a bunch of cops standing around, uh
at the sight of the beatdown, probably it wouldn't have happened.

(53:20):
You're just the presence of police officers. You look at
You're like, well, maybe I shouldn't punch this guy in
the face. There's a cop right there. So yeah, I
think more presence of police, you know, reduce the crime.
Just just it's a consequence of logic and common sciences.

Speaker 15 (53:37):
On rolling the She's achievement a problem since the collabor
of what was put in in two thousand and one,
and she will always be that way because what's what
city government.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Down is going to government home.

Speaker 15 (53:50):
God, what they're going to do is they're going to
circle wagons. They're going to back her. That city manager
needs to go, and I think in November on the
fifth or sixth, she might be looking at her job
going out the window when this election turns around, hopefully
because the mayor can get his own city manager in there.

(54:12):
I mean, this is backdoor politics, but come on, I mean,
she's done a lousy job. She's done as bad a
job as Purvol, and we need to replace her as
much as Purvol. And I just really think that this
regime needs to go. And of course we've heard this
from everybody, so I don't have all the answers. I
just look as an outsider, but I've been in this

(54:35):
city for too long, and if it wasn't for my age,
I'd be out of this city like most of the
people that have moved out. That's why we lose elections,
because it's been proven the demographics have changed so much.
The people have just moved out. They got tired of it.
And it goes back twenty thirty years where it started

(54:57):
in the Democratic playbook. They knew how to do it
way back when they saw it coming.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
I give them credit for that.

Speaker 15 (55:05):
They took it over, but it isn't doing any good.
And you know, there's a ticket right now between the
Charter and the Republicans that have a really, really good
chance of, if people voted the way it should be,
of maybe changing some of the stuff that goes on
down to dato one plumb.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Yeah, So that's all I can hope for.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Jim and.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
I struggle with the concept of us redoing the same
playbook over and over again. You know, you have options
in November that we haven't really had these kind of options.
And when's the last election where you had actually any
glimmer of hope that Republicans or even the Charter Rights
might make some inroads in downtown Cincinnati.

Speaker 15 (55:47):
Well, it changed around twenty twelve when we actually had
Republicans in there, and then all of a sudden, boom,
the Democrats got busy. And you know when they get busy,
and they go out and they do the proper recruiting
of voters, and it turns it around totally. And we
just got to get this thing back to where at

(56:08):
least we have some type of a balance.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Well, I keep viewing this through the lens of an
objective person. What have what are we living with right now?
We got a problem with crime. Let's just stick with
crime as opposed to the potholes or all the other
problems that we could identify down Cunscincinnati. So we got crime,
and what is the position of the current members of
the council and the mayor not exactly tough on crime.

(56:32):
That's the kind of the sentiment that they carry around
with them. That's whole the defund police or rethink or
reimagine police perspective, which hasn't done anybody any good. So
what about people who don't carry that perception and support
the police and want to put more money in the
police and have more patrols out there. That wouldn't be
the Democrats. So if you care about crime, don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
I just continuing to think.

Speaker 15 (56:55):
I totally agree, And you know we hear that from
Tom every morning calls in, and I totally agree with him.
But you know, Jeff kramberdon council member. He lives in
Price Hill about a block and a half from that shooting,
the opposite way of where I live.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
But he moved out.

Speaker 15 (57:15):
Now if that tells you right there, why did he
move out?

Speaker 3 (57:19):
It speaks volumes, doesn't it, Jim.

Speaker 15 (57:21):
It's it's just unbelievable, Brian, and I just don't have
the answers. But like I said, they are going to
surround the wagons and they're going to hope this thing
dies out in the next month or two. And does
it relate over to the election, Uh.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
Well, they can pray for that to happen. I just
can't see it going away as an issue.

Speaker 15 (57:42):
And by the way, lastly, we need Christopher Smitherman number one.

Speaker 3 (57:46):

all bent out of proportion in the American flag. The
proposed seeing American flag burn burning a destruction American Flag

(01:06:02):
Order Executive order signed by Donald Trump the other day, yesterday.
This is a settled Supreme Court case nineteen eighty nine
Texas versus Johnson. The Supreme Court said, burning the American
flag is a form of symbolic speech protected by the
First Amendment. Think, well, it's settled. How can Donald Trump,
you know, criminalize the burning the American flag. Well, that's
not what he's done. If you read the executive order,

(01:06:25):
you realize that a lot of words. But in the
absence of some other crime being committed while the flag
is being desecrated, then you're not going to see anybody
arrested for burning the flag just by itself. So he
talks about the importance of the American flag, our great
American flag, the most sacred and cherished symbol of the
United States of America, and the importance of it. Desecrating

(01:06:47):
it a uniquely offensive and provocative action. Burning this representation
of America may see. I symphasized the word may incite
violence and riot. Flag burning also used by groups of
foreign nationals as a calculated act to intimidate and threaten
violence against Americans. Notwithstanding the Supreme Courts rulings on First

(01:07:11):
Amendment protections. The one I mentioned Texas versus Johnson. Specifically,
the court has never held the American flag desecration conducted
in a manner that is likely to incite eminent lawless
action or that is an action amounting to fighting words,
is constitutionally protected. So there's your qualifier. If you just

(01:07:31):
have your flag and you light it up, nothing else
going on, that's what the court has said is okay,
But what about inciting imminent lawless action? This will be
tested in the court to the extent someone's prosecuted. So
my administration will have to restore the respect in sancty
in the American flag and prosecute those who incite violence

(01:07:54):
or otherwise violate our laws while desecrating this symbol of
our kind to the fullest extent possible. So there you
have it, violate other laws while desecrating the flag. They're
going to go after you for violating the other laws.
And maybe it's like an extra charge added on for
the desecration of the flag. Don't think he can unilaterally
criminalize that. It's not going to be a special charge

(01:08:15):
because of Donald Trump's wave of a pen that might
be tested. So the Attorney General shall prioritize enforcement to
the fullest extent possible of our nation's criminal and civil laws.
In other words, laws that are already on the books
and that are constitutional against act of American flag desecration
that violate applicable content neutral laws while causing harm unrelated

(01:08:41):
to expression. So, in other words, you're just committing other
crimes while burning a flag. Even points out this may
include but not limited, violent crimes, hate crimes, illegal discrimination
against American citizens, other violations of American civil rights, crimes
against property and the peace, as well as conspiracies and
attempts to violate and aiding to betting others to violate

(01:09:01):
such laws. So, in the absence of all these other
potential charges and crimes, you're committing I'm sorry, in the
absence of any of these charges, right, and you burn
the American flag, this is not going to apply. But
if you're violating laws that are already in the books
while burning a flag, does it really mean anything. You

(01:09:24):
gotta get prosecutor for the hate crime or the violent
crime or the property crime. In cases where the DOJ
or another executive department or agency determines that an an
instance of American flag desecration may violate an applicable state
or local law like open burning restrictions, disorderly conduct laws,

(01:09:48):
destruction of property laws. The agency would refer the matter
to the appropriate state of local authority for potential action.
In other words, enforce the state laws being broken to
the maximum extent permitted by the Constitution. There's that limitation
that suggests case law is on the books. The attorney

(01:10:08):
general show vigorly prosecute those who violate our laws in
ways that involve desecrating the American flag. So a lot
of words, but does it really mean anything. In the

(01:10:29):
final analysis, one person argued, Okay, let's cool this up.
I was opposed to Trump's executive voder at first, but
then I read the full text. It does not criminalize
the burning of the American flag, and it does not
infringe on our freedom of speech. It criminalizes flag burning
only when it's intended to inside violence, or when it's
accompanied by other lawless action crimes that you can be

(01:10:50):
independently charged for in the absence of flag burning six

to call. I thought this was a rather interesting observation,
saying the quiet part out loud, and I go to
the editorial board from the Wall Street Journal to get
this first place and the only place I read this.
But many call to come to Jesus moment. We're going
to have to reflect on where we are and we're
going to have to deal with reality at some point

(01:14:25):
here in the United States. Frederick Mertz, the German Chancellor,
said at a Christian Democratic Union conference over the weekend.
Quote the welfare state that we have today can no
longer be financed with what we produce in the economy.

(01:14:47):
Close quote short, simple statement, but it speaks volumes. As
the journal observes, thank you, Chancellor for this burst of candor.
Mister Murr's doing what no one else in the top
ranks of Western politics seems willing to do, which is
broach the fundamental dilemma of the modern West. Nations have
built welfare and entitlement states that are so large that

(01:15:08):
they have outstripped the ability of slow growing economies to
pay for them. Yet, because the entitlement cushion is so
broad and reaches deep into the middle class, that has
become nearly impossible to reform. This is the goal of socialists.
They want government handouts reaching into the masses. The more
government handouts go out, the less likely it is they're

(01:15:29):
ever going to disappear. Have you ever seen a government
entitlement program be voted down or kicked out or stopped.
They always promise, well, we're going to solve the problem,
like the Great Society programs. We're gonna end poverty. Is
we know it in this lifetime? How many lifetimes later
are we still paying After trillions and trillions and trillions
of dollars the problems only gotten worse and more people
will become dependent upon government. Hmmm, maybe it didn't work.

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
They right.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
This is true among conventional politicians of the left hand right,
but it's also true of the supposed radicals of the
populist right. From Marie la Penn in France, UK's Nigel
Faraj and AfD in Germany and Donald Trump, the populace
dodged difficult reforms of the broken welfare state.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:16:13):
This is why I've said multiple times, like we're on
the current trajectory to increase our national deficit by trillions
of dollars. We're still doing it right now. We have
a Republican administration. How is it that we can't get
a rein in on spending. First Trump administration five trillion
dollars in additional debt over that period of time. The
Republicans didn't change the dynamic during that period of time either,

(01:16:33):
and the left never does. They campaign, meaning that the
populist folks, the journal rights, they campaign against immigration or
foreign trade, but they won't tell voters the truth about
the benefits government provides that are driving ever higher deficits
and debt along with slower economic growth. Republicans and Congress
barely succeeded recently in passing a modest much needed reforms

(01:16:56):
and medicaid. Thus the importance of mister Murr's comments, which
weren't extensive but at least broke the taboo. The dilemma
is coming into sharper view in Germany because of the
Merds government's break through a national defense. He and his
coalition partners in the Social Democratic Party agreed to break
deficit spending limits to pass the military build up to
meet the rising threat from Russia. This is necessary to

(01:17:18):
meet NATO obligations after so many years of neglect in
favor of stressing domestic entitlements. Obviously, it puts a strain
on Germany's already strained budget. There are economies going in
the toilet. I do believe they've been labeled as in
a recession, mainly because of their stupid green zero carbon
emissions energy policies. But they've exacerbated the problems on a
number of a number of areas as a as the

(01:17:42):
journal concludes, as France and America have shown, there is
no more difficult challenge in politics than reforming government handouts,
whether in pensions, jobless benefits, government healthcare, or income subsidies.
It'll be worth watching what mister Murrs and his coalition proposed,
But the first step towards solving the problem is admitting

(01:18:02):
it exists. And on that note, I give you a
thirty seven trillion dollar deficit growing by a trillion dollars
every several months, and I'll ask the rhetorical question, is
that sustainable? Six fifty five? A fifty five k see

I'm visiting you in Ohio, and.

Speaker 3 (01:19:38):
I love Kentucky. You know that, big fan. And of course,
thank you so much for the old Root eight single
barrel unfiltered cast strength bourbon you brought me as a
little gift. This is wonderful.

Speaker 11 (01:19:51):
Thank you, Gusta Distillery.

Speaker 5 (01:19:53):
These brilliant minds converted a button factory into a distillery
in Augusta, Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
I think that's great. I just the concept of all
these micro brews and micro distilleries. I just think it's
a neat concept. Yes, you have to go back very far,
and you only had like three beers made in town.
You depol and it's like, oh God. And the bourbons,
of course, Kentucky's widely known for the bourbons, but more
and more popping up each and every day. So do
the bourbon trail tour right, yes.

Speaker 11 (01:20:21):
Please, urban urban Bourbon.

Speaker 5 (01:20:23):
By the way, if you throw a stone just across
into Kentucky, you get the new riff On Bourbon, which
is the new Rift distillery right there in Newport, Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
How about that? Fantastic excellent Another opportunity and reason to
visit my friends in northern Kentucky. Shelley Funky from I
are running for re election. You mentioned in the comments
offa where we're just kind of chatting a little bit.
You said, right now is the time when the work
really gets done.

Speaker 11 (01:20:48):
That's right.

Speaker 14 (01:20:49):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:20:49):
The legislative interim begins in June, and we go June
through December, and then we gabble back in in January
for four months. This coming January twenty twenty six, this
upcoming legislative session will be focused on our budget. But
right now, during the legislative interim, we will meet in

(01:21:12):
legislative groups groupings called committees, as well as task forces
and such in commissions, but we'll meet on topical issues
relative in my case economic development. I'm the vice chair
of Economic Development, Tourism and Labor, and those meetings go
about two hours during and we'll meet once a month,

(01:21:33):
but will really dig in deep. For example, we care
so much about Bourbon, but we're looking at ways to amplify, well,
what changes have we made in Kentucky and what difference
is it making. So that's what we'll review in the interim,
so that we determine what policy maybe needs to be
scrubbed a little more or polished a little more to

(01:21:56):
help achieve the economic impacts that we're looking for.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
Now everybody's scrap and for businesses and folks to move in.
Of course, we're all in competition together, that's the nature
of it in the United States. We've got our problems
here in Ohio, in the state of Ohio, we could
probably my listening on itence could certainly identify them. But
what are the that you perceive and you're fighting to
reconcile the impediments to economic development? What do you see
as the big the primary reasons, let's say someone might

(01:22:20):
not choose to invest or move into the Commonwealth.

Speaker 11 (01:22:22):
So great question.

Speaker 5 (01:22:24):
My focus areas are economic development, wellness, and energy. So
I'm part of the Energy Commission in Kentucky. The nuclear energy.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Oh my favorite subject.

Speaker 11 (01:22:38):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (01:22:38):
So that could be an impediment. But Kentucky has made
such a dedicated effort to keeping our coal plants firing
so that we can keep energy reliable and affordable. Of course,
Kentucky while we are digging in deeply to nuclear and
we believe and we recognize that nuclear is Kentucky's way forward.

(01:23:02):
So in order to keep energy consistently available and affordable.
But that will pair and partner with coal. We do
not want to run coal out of business. We have
got plenty in the earth and we like to keep
extracting it and keep our plans firing while we're bringing
on all of the above nuclear as well as renewables well.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
And I applaud that across the board as strategy. I
think the state who makes it first in line as
far as greasing the skids to bring about nuclear, they're
going to be the winners in the whole thing.

Speaker 11 (01:23:40):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:23:41):
Small modular nuclear reactors are the way of the future,
unlimited power, little to no way, small footprint, one size
fits all. It's like putting together legos. You don't have
to have a different design depending upon where you're putting it.
You could avoid all the regulatory hurdles that go along
with these individually designed nuclear plants that were previous used,
you know, like if the three mile Island version.

Speaker 1 (01:24:03):
They don't do them that way anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
People are stuck in the seventies mindset on nuclear power
and it's insane.

Speaker 5 (01:24:09):
It's insane in the recognition there are businesses that will invest.
You don't need to draw out of every Commonwealth member's
pocket to bring this in. Businesses want to bring it in.
We need to wrap our arms around the regulatory process, amplify,
speed up that process, because as you've said, there are

(01:24:29):
known processes throughout the world.

Speaker 11 (01:24:32):
Our military, Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
That's my favorite, that go ahead, Yes, that is the thought.

Speaker 5 (01:24:37):
Yeah, our military has done this for decades. Yes, and
why wouldn't we capitalize on that? And that's brilliant, thankfully,
that's part of our Nuclear Commission in Kentucky are working
on this. But we can't pretend like this is a
new idea, right, so we need to bring the very successful,

(01:24:59):
real life I will consistent processes that will bring on,
as you said, the small modular nuclear And you.

Speaker 3 (01:25:07):
Know this isn't a technological herderl deal we're dealing with.
This is a marketing problem. There's been so much negative
a reaction to the concept of using nuclear like, oh
my god, we're all gonna glow in the dark, We're
all gonna die. Chernobyl you know, Fukushima, it's like cheese Louise.
First off, Chernobyls built by the Russians the Soviet Union days.
It wasn't safe when it was first put on. So yes,

(01:25:29):
you're gonna have problems with that. You need people to
competently run it. But that's the old school's kind of
a nuclear reactor anyway. Fukushima, Oh my god, we're all
going to die. Who's the idiot who decided to build
a nuclear plant in it's tsunami zone? I mean, didn't
anybody say, well, wait a minute, it's a little too
close to sea level for it to be safe if
we get a tsunami. Hell, we've got a country that

(01:25:50):
has tsunami warnings all around.

Speaker 14 (01:25:54):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:25:54):
Yes, And let's some forget American exceptionalism.

Speaker 11 (01:25:59):
I mean, let's don't forget.

Speaker 5 (01:26:00):
We want to come into our next generation of reliable,
affordable energy. But again, using the knowledge that we have,
we've got exceptional people involved. We take a different approach
in the United States of America than the troublesome examples
that you've shared, and we'll continue to take that approach. However,

(01:26:22):
we've overdone it, We've over regulated, We've created this month's
regulatory nightmare.

Speaker 7 (01:26:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
Yeah, we're our own worst enemies when it comes to
stuff like that. And it's like the whole concept of
you know, carbon dioxide, which is planned food killing us.
All we cut our own throats in the name of
achieving a zero carbon emission goal. And going back to
your point about your continuing to use and rely on
the very valuable natural resource coal. Why can't Kentucky use it?
If the Chinese are building new coal plants every single day,

(01:26:53):
that's right. And India, you know, I mean, they're free
to use it. They're not barred by any treaty or
packed or it's just doing it right in front of
our very eyes.

Speaker 11 (01:27:02):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:27:03):
So yes, tap into that natural resource. But you know,
if you could grease the skids. As I mentioned as
far as nuclear goes, the companies that want these small
modular nuclear plants, the course artificial intelligence companies. These are
corporations that are billions and billions of dollars in profits.
Move aside the regulatory burden. Give them the opportunity to

(01:27:24):
shoulder the burden of building the damn plants so they
can fund their own natural product or their own production
of electricity. And it'll produce so much that it will
not only run the artificial intelligence plant, but able to
share the energy production with your fellow commonwealth residents.

Speaker 5 (01:27:41):
Absolutely, and you see that, so Ge announced a tremendous
investment to talk about America First agenda being on point,
on track. Let's bring back from all over the world.
Some of the GE and Kentucky will benefit. They're will
billion dollars in investment. Kentucky will benefit. We do have

(01:28:02):
GE headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and we've got plants, and
you know, when you can bring manufacturing back, imagine that's
a bullseye. But there are supportive manufacturing suppliers for anything
that you can manufacture in America. It's not just the
refrigerator or the washer and dryer, it's all of those

(01:28:26):
components and those small suppliers, and that helps. When I
think about my Senate district in northern Kentucky, Campbell, Penleton, Bracken,
these small little beautiful Butler, Kentucky, Little Founou, Kentucky, Little Augusta,
you know, Brooksville. We have these small communities Alexandria that

(01:28:47):
can have these small microeconomic centers that can filter in.
And we've got excellent roads, we've got rail, we've got river.
We've got so much infrastructure in Kentucky that we just
need to plug in more manufacturing and keep all of
our Kentuckians working.

Speaker 3 (01:29:06):
Sounds solid to me. Shelley Funcking Fromer will continue. She's
in the studio and really enjoying the conversation. More ideas
with the senator after I quickly mentioned my friend John
Ryan a Prestige interiors. When you call prestige interiors, you
will be working with John Ryan. That's a great thing,
and I'm talking about it for a kitchen remodeling project.
John's been doing kitchens almost exclusively for north of thirty
five years. He did our kitchen about ten years ago,

(01:29:28):
and you know, every day I walk into it kind
of think about John and the experience we went through
and how happy we are with our kitchen. You're gonna
feel the same way. Whether it's a simple project like
replacing cabinets and countertops or gutting the whole thing and
starting from scratch, which is the option we went with.
He's going to have wonderful ideas. He's your true partner
in a kitchen remodeling project. From initially design of final

(01:29:49):
installation A plus with a BBB and a member of
the National Kitchen and Bath Association. You can see some
of the work he's done over the years, just some

in the Commonwealth Kentucky, you have an opportunity to real
elect Shelley Frankie Foemyer, who's in studio and what a
wonderful woman. She is a solid common sense representing proudly
District twenty four in the Commonwealth. She's been there since
January of twenty three, up for next another election cycle.
So it's it's a solid vote. You'd be very happy

(01:31:34):
you have her in place for another term. Pivoting over,
we move away from energy, which you know you and
I are complete a court on that again. The first
state to make it easy to build a small nuclear
reactor without the regulatory impediments, without litigation is going to win.
That's my prediction. So you're in a battle with Ohio
and that one too because a vive eight Ramaswami, who

(01:31:56):
I'm certain will be our next governor, and I've talked
to him about the given the puff.

Speaker 11 (01:32:00):
Yes, I'd love to have him as our neighbors.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
Oh, I know, wouldn't that be great? But he is
all about the same plan, small modular nuclear reactory.

Speaker 11 (01:32:11):
Very sensible person exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:32:14):
But let's talk about the income tax over Kentucky. You
got to drop on that.

Speaker 11 (01:32:17):
Yes we do.

Speaker 5 (01:32:18):
Come January one, our Kentuckians will be proud three point
five percent on your income. So what we look for
in Kentucky is more income. So let's lower tax on
what we want more of. Isn't that a sensible approach?

Speaker 1 (01:32:34):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
Yes, So we like to see more Kentuckian's working, we
like to see them paying less an income tax. And
in fact, as I shared with you our wonderful Augusta
Distillery Bourbon, we want more tourism, so we would like
to invite more people to Kentucky. So let's cut income tax,
but let's invite more people to Kentucky. Which also, by

(01:32:56):
the way, America America's River Roots coming up October eighth
through October twelfth. Our dear friend the bbe riverboat Alan
Bernstein reached out to all of his dear friends so
we've got some of the most special boats that are
coming October eighth or the twelfth. You can tour those boats,

(01:33:19):
you can do dinner cruises, you can be up and
down this beautiful Ohio River with not just Bbe Riverboats
but all their friends.

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
Now, this sounds like a tall Stacks event there, it does.

Speaker 5 (01:33:32):
Yeah, So Alan was front and center and hosting that
as well. All of these boats will launch from the
Ohio side, so you'll get your beautiful views of Kentucky.
So you come over to Ohio, jump on the Natchez.
The Belle of Louisville will come up as well. But
you've got boats coming from everywhere. And Alan was front

(01:33:54):
and center and making that happen. His daughter runs Bbe
river Boats.

Speaker 11 (01:33:58):
Along with him.

Speaker 14 (01:33:58):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:33:59):
But yeah, so sharing America's river roots, You're going to
be right there on that's high river.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
So look for that.

Speaker 5 (01:34:06):
It's easy to find. I'll have it on my website,
my Facebook as well. Shelley Funky from Ira shelleyfo Kentucky
dot com. You can find information. But that effort in
Kentucky to really amplify our tourism as we lower our
income tax, it's hand in hand our approach.

Speaker 11 (01:34:27):
That's that America River roots.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
That's something pretty special, Shelley for Kentucky, that's f O
R as opposed to the number four. It's f O
R shelleyfour Kentucky.

Speaker 5 (01:34:35):
Dot Kentucky spelled out fair enough.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
All right, one more thing.

Speaker 3 (01:34:39):
I know you wanted to talk about your Make America
Healthy Again task Force. And we have Keith Tannenfeld and
George Brennan on my program about once a month. They
spend an hour and they're all about, you know, restoring health.
You know about holistic approaches and natural and improving the
quality of food and putting less things in our body
that are damaging. So what's your motive and what's your
involvement with Kentucky task Force?

Speaker 5 (01:35:02):
Yes, so we formed the task force certainly inspired at
the MAHA ball back on January twentieth, and two of
our senators are two of our congressmen are very dedicated
to Congressman Massy and Senator Ran Paul So informing it
in Kentucky. Were started out with supplemental nutrition Assistance program

(01:35:24):
that we really need to supplement nutrition amen and recognizing
so are no mountain dew on snap correct and I
love mountain dew. It's always a treat, but the reality
is you can have it occasionally, but it doesn't need
to be your supplemental nutrition.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
But it's not nutrition. It's pure sugar and water, right,
I mean that's not nutrition. I mean I don't know
what your definition nutrition is. But you don't get any vitamins,
you don't get minerals, you don't get protein. You get
nothing but empty, wasted sugar calories.

Speaker 5 (01:35:58):
Right in somewhere, we've long lost what does nutrition really mean?
So our task force is very focused and this last
meeting last Wednesday, we had one of your own, doctor
Gary Huber came to Frankfort and he spent an hour
just really showing the value of tier one, Tier two,

(01:36:18):
Tier three, Tier four and basically the one food is
what you can grow in your backyard.

Speaker 11 (01:36:24):
He said, pick it, pluck it, or shoot.

Speaker 5 (01:36:26):
It with an arrow, but harvest your own meats.

Speaker 11 (01:36:30):
But eating more whole foods.

Speaker 5 (01:36:32):
He really amplified the focus on prevention through just those
simple things as simple as great sleep, daily exercise, in
eating more whole foods.

Speaker 11 (01:36:44):
He also got into fats a little bit.

Speaker 5 (01:36:45):
And then following him was doctor Larkin, focused on your
mouth health, the health of your mouth, recognizing that you've
also got things happening in your mouth that may have
come out of your gut, causing bad breath and other things.

Speaker 11 (01:37:00):
You've really got to understand. Your mouth is the entry to.

Speaker 5 (01:37:05):
Your health, your wellbeing, and your ability to be proactive
and preventative.

Speaker 3 (01:37:10):
And the gut has become a really big focus of
attention and health awareness because apparently that is like the
key to everything, is what's going on in your stomach.

Speaker 5 (01:37:18):
And if you feed it some great vegetables and some
wonderful fats and fantastic beef from Kentucky by the way,
then you're feeding it well and you're improving that gut microbiome.
And of course you've got to improve your sleep as well.
Don't ignore that your body needs time. But we overeat
and we overfeed our Lord, we do. And then going

(01:37:42):
back to snap, that's just really a guide for all
of us to be more thoughtful around are you eating
ultra processed? Is that what's consuming? And doctor Huber said, yeah,
seventy five percent of the calories people are consuming came
from ultra processed.

Speaker 11 (01:37:59):
It didn't come from that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:00):
Apple or you know that well, And let's face that.

Speaker 5 (01:38:03):
The beautiful banana that I see sitting over there, Brian,
you're working at it.

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
Turn back to clock. In my lifetime, I mean, I'll
be sixty in September, coming up fast. But all this
process food really has gotten, you know, this snowball effect
just within my lifetime. If everybody when I was a
kid was skinny, I was the fat kid. And by
today's standards, nobody would have called me fat today. But
back then, in nineteen let's say seventy three or four, Yeah,

(01:38:31):
ten Ton Thomas, that was me.

Speaker 5 (01:38:32):
And you know, I hate to hear that and that
American exceptionalism is ignored. We could be exceptional.

Speaker 13 (01:38:39):
We're not.

Speaker 11 (01:38:40):
We're obese.

Speaker 3 (01:38:41):
Shelley Frunky Foe, myer boy, I wish we had an
hour to talk, but maybe we can talk again before
the election. I strongly encourage my Kentucky listeners, shelleyfo Kentucky

Joining the fifty five Case Morning Show and thank God
for him the return of cincinnti FLP president Ken kober Ken,
welcome back to the show, my friend.

Speaker 1 (01:41:15):
Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me at.

Speaker 3 (01:41:17):
Whose impetus was this vote brought up?

Speaker 13 (01:41:21):
Well, I mean, obviously by it being unanimous, you could
tell that the temperature in the room was certainly not
in favor of the mayor. But we had a member
that came forward, he set his piece, and it was
discussed and ended up being a unanimous vote.

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Well, I sort of jokingly wrote down in my notes
on this how long was the jury out before it
reached the unanimous vote?

Speaker 1 (01:41:44):
I would say anywhere from five to ten seconds.

Speaker 13 (01:41:49):
It was certainly it was made very very clear how
they felt.

Speaker 3 (01:41:52):
All right, and what prompted this obviously, well, maybe not
so obviously, I get to I get the feeling this
is so of a long time coming. You had the
July beatdown incident, of course, that might have spurred this
vote on no confidence along. But as you wrote in
your op ed piece in the Inquiry yesterday, Cincinnati's crime
crisis didn't start with the beatdown. It's been here for years.

Speaker 13 (01:42:16):
It's absolutely true, you know that that was just kind
of like the uh, the spark that really got the
fire going.

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
Yeah, the straw that broke the camel's back. Sure, absolutely well,
and one of the points you made, and it didn't
and nobody seemed to have missed this. Where was the
mayor anyway? His silence was definiting. I mean, his silence
relating to the the the Cincinnati police, the support for police.
They try to encourage communities to work with the police
and appreciate the police. That's been deafening for years though.

(01:42:43):
But he wasn't even around when the beatdown happened and
it made national news.

Speaker 13 (01:42:47):
Yeah, and that's that's part of this is you know
it was it took three days from to get a
statement out. Meanwhile, you've got you know, people in the
in the public on what gonna say, what does he
have to say about this? And it was just you know,
of course, then what happens then now you have you know,
citizens of the city that are creating their own narrative
and it's just something that is it's been a boiling

(01:43:09):
point and it was only a matter of time, in my.

Speaker 3 (01:43:12):
Opinion, that something like this was going to happen, no
question about it. And I know, adding insult to injury
on that one is the ordering by the city solicitor,
the ordering of police to charge the victim in the
beatdown crime with disorderly conduct, which is a misdemeanor. I
know we've talked about that before, can Cover and that
got you pretty angry. And have you ever determined by

(01:43:33):
what authority that the city solicitor has to order the
police department to do anything?

Speaker 13 (01:43:39):
Well, I mean, the solicitor is an attorney, I am,
it's a city attorney.

Speaker 14 (01:43:44):
You know.

Speaker 13 (01:43:44):
Unfortunately, when you look at this, all of these people
work for the mayor. So if they give an order,
you know, it's expected that you're going to follow it.
And unfortunately, that's what we saw on this point, is
an order was given.

Speaker 8 (01:43:57):
And they followed it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:59):
Well, it's thirty five right now, we'll bring back Ken
Cobra and dive into some more of these issues. Ken Cobra,

walked through it, worked through a day and didn't have pain?
You got arthritis pain? Perhaps me pain?

Speaker 1 (01:44:14):
Where is it?

Speaker 3 (01:44:15):
Hips back? You keep hoping it's going to go away,
and you keep going back to the doctor. Steroid injections
and you know those do not last. That's why you
have to go back. And the doctor starts talking about surgery.
You start freaking out, going, oh my god, going under
the knife and all the downtime, and they rehab and
how about a different path? Is QC Kinetics right for you?

We're talking about the no confidence vote yesterday Mayor Aftab
parval the City of Cincinnati Police Department has no confidence
in you for a variety of reasons. Uh, let us react.
I'm gonna get your reaction to Mayor Aftab provolls statement
regarding no confidence vote. It reminds me, and here's my input,
of course, that it it's like the crime. If Mayor

(01:46:32):
Aftab Purvoll says crime is down and crime is not
a problem, then it must be true.

Speaker 1 (01:46:36):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:46:37):
Uh, we all know that's not the case. But yesterday
he said, We've had the backs of law enforcement without
fail every step of the way since taking office. We've
increased police funding to address staffing challenges faced by cities
across the nation. We've supported requests for new lateral classes
and additional resources, and I have further funding increases in

(01:47:00):
the pipeline as we speak. So it sounds like problem solved?
Can your reaction because it seemed to me that at
Mayra have to have Provo only injected two million dollars
for additional lateral hires after the beatdown. And of course
we can't overlook Sarah Heringer's issues with get her husband
getting stabbed to death in their apartment. But the additional funding,

(01:47:20):
I think in terms of timing, showed up after the beatdown.

Speaker 1 (01:47:24):
Yeah, we know that was actually a point of contention.

Speaker 12 (01:47:26):
Is so.

Speaker 3 (01:47:30):
What happened funding a department.

Speaker 13 (01:47:32):
By adding cops when you're two hundred cops short. I mean,
common sense would say, if we're two hundred cops short,
we should probably hire more. But what we didn't see
was after this mob attack, anybody, any city leader, standing
up and saying, listen, we trust that the police are
going to investigate this, that they're going to get to

(01:47:52):
the bottom of it and until then wait to pass judgment.

Speaker 1 (01:47:55):
That's not what we saw.

Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
Instead, what we saw or.

Speaker 13 (01:47:58):
Accusations that the police are not competent enough to investigate this,
that you know, somehow one of the victims begged for
this beat down and it was crickets. There was nothing
about supporting the.

Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
Police after that occurred.

Speaker 3 (01:48:13):
Well, and you also had Iris Rolly, who's no fan
of the police department. She's on the aftab Provoll staff
making Lord knows how much. I think you opined that
maybe she's on some sort of six figure salary. It
doesn't matter if she's getting a dollar or ten million
from the city taxpayers. I wonder why she's there, to
what role she actually serves, and what influence she has,

(01:48:35):
because she is the antithesis of someone who works collaboratively
with and supports the backs of law enforcement.

Speaker 1 (01:48:44):
Yeah, I mean that.

Speaker 13 (01:48:46):
Another clear example if put out two different videos body
camera Warren videos of her just harassing officers simply doing
their jobs. Nothing from city Hall other than we're aware
of this and we're going to.

Speaker 1 (01:48:59):
Look into it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:59):
And nothing else has been said.

Speaker 1 (01:49:01):
And that's the problem officers see it.

Speaker 8 (01:49:03):
I had this conversation with some city leaders.

Speaker 13 (01:49:06):
If you don't say something publicly, you know, your silence
is deafening. Apparently you've decided to pick a side, and
it's not the side of law and order. And you said,
eventually cops get tired of it, and that's what we
saw last.

Speaker 1 (01:49:18):
Night at the meeting.

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
Yes, indeed, now I someone to call it earlier. I
think it was Westside. Jim Keefer wondering if the sentinels
had also done a no confidence vote, and that's the
Black police is is it an independent union? This is
what I wanted to get to the bottom of because
I figured, you're the Chapter sixty nine, you represent all
police officers, So wouldn't the sentinels be a subset of

(01:49:39):
the unanimous vote that occurred yesterday?

Speaker 13 (01:49:42):
Well, there were certainly Sentinel members in the room, okay
when the meeting occurred, but it was not Certainly it
was not an exclusively a Sentinel Police Association vote, But
there are sentinels that do come to our meetings.

Speaker 3 (01:49:54):
Fair enough, and they voted. If the ones that did
show up showed up and voted in favor of the
of the no confidence v for provall, I mean, it
will be nice if they also did it, because that
would sort of take this so called racial element out
of it.

Speaker 13 (01:50:07):
Yeah, without a doubt, you know this, None of this
is about race. This is about law and order, Yeah,
and those who support law and order, And unfortunately, we
just believe that that the mayor has fallen short of
those things.

Speaker 3 (01:50:21):
Indeed, how long do you think it's gonna turn ound?
I mean, assuming that the mayor was actually true to
his word, and let's say there was an unlimited pile
of cash to hire lateral hires realistically, Ken Kober, how
long will it take to replenish the diminished ranks on
the Sincint Police Department.

Speaker 13 (01:50:37):
I believe at this point it's gonna take years, you know,
or as short as we are. We have cops that
are retiring every day. You know, We're at the point
where we have either really really young officers or we
have really really experienced officers at the end of their
career and they take notice of what's going on, and
that's why we're seeing them leave. I mean, We've we've

(01:50:58):
got officers that because of previous military time that they
don't have to stay twenty five years to get a
full pension. We just had an officer just this last week.
I said, enough enough. He had been here like twenty
two years, so I have military time.

Speaker 3 (01:51:12):
I'm leaving. I've heard that before in my own life,
and I'm not even a police officer. I've heard that
kind of comment coming from active dity police officers. You know,
I'm done. I'm not even going to go through the
full drop program. That's a really sad state of affairs,
but it does speak volumes to the reality as opposed
to Aftab Purvol's perception of it. Now, how does this
work out in terms of political campaigns? Of course we

(01:51:36):
have an opportunity to change the guard here in November.
Of course you have an opportunity to change the mayor,
specifically Corey Bowman's running for mayor. I presume Aftab Purvoal
is not going to get the endorsement of the FOP.
Are you endorsing formerly Corey Bowman is challenger?

Speaker 13 (01:51:50):
Well, we will have our endorsements out later this morning
early afternoon for all of the races for the city
since now in Hamilton County involving judges, City Council and.

Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
The mayor will be out this afternoon. I don't want
to I don't want to misstep.

Speaker 3 (01:52:06):
That's okay to say that, uh mayor sure of all
is not being endorsed by Yeah, I think it's safe
to assume that based on you know, confidence felt yesterday.
But I'll wait for the I I'll wait and get
the formal announcement later today like everybody else. Uh So
before we part come to day FLP president can cover

(01:52:27):
are do you have any I want to use the
word optimism, because this reality has been going on. Democrats
have literally run the city of Cincinnati for more than
forty years, Okay, and you know, I mean that's a
common prudent person, common sense prudent person. Wait, look at
the situation. Say, you know what, my neighborhood's not safe,
and it hasn't been safe for a long time. I
got gunfire going off all the time. Talk to Sarah

(01:52:49):
Herringer on the program last I think it was last week.
She said gunfire was so common and over the rhine
that they had become callous to the whole idea of gunfire.
It's like, well, there's gunfire again. You know, it's sort
of the normal order of busines that is not normal.
So after all these years, and after dealing with these
problems and crimes seemingly going up or at least remaining
as bad as it has been, a normal person might say,

(01:53:10):
you know what, maybe we need to go a different
direction politically this November. And there's a lot of wonderful candidates,
as I'm sure you know, do you hold out any
optimism that maybe, maybe, just maybe the city's gonna wake
up and go a different direction in November.

Speaker 13 (01:53:28):
Well sure, I mean, you know, at this point, like
you said, there are only twenty four candidates running that
have varying backgrounds, some that have never been on city council,
never been in politics. And then there you know, there
are some of the older Guard Democrats that are coming
back to run. There's Charter Rights or some Republicans, so
you know, there could be a good mix of people

(01:53:49):
on council depending on what the voters of Cincinnati say.
And like I said, I will hold out some optimism
until after November and we'll see where we go from there.

Speaker 1 (01:53:58):
FOP President can cover.

Speaker 3 (01:53:59):
It's always great heavy on the program, and I salute
you and the other police officers for this unanimous vote.
I think it's appropriate. I think it'll bring greater attention
to the crime problem that is going on in the
city of Cincinnati. So it's a step in the right direction,
a real positive one. So thanks for doing that and
spending some time with my listeners of me this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:54:18):

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):

I take my cars to foreign exchange. My wife and
I drive German Yep. They're expensive to fix. That's why
you go to foreign exchange. I mean, I just point
to my oil changes the primary illustration of serious money
savings four hundred and fifty bucks. I think to change
the oil at the dealership, it's like little bit little

(01:55:02):
better than two hundred bucks foreign exchange, so I save
more than two hundred. My car's under warranty, so just
until recently, so you know, and now I'm out of warranty.
I'm going to foreign exchange if anything else goes wrong
with it or does go wrong with it. Full warranty
on parts and service is what you get. So if
you have a German cargo to exchange, not the dealer,
but any Asian or European imported car traditionally or Tesla's.

(01:55:24):
They are certified to repair Teslas now as well full
access to all the manufacturers technical information, so you're in

Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
Outstanding reporting, including the reporting from John Bender, who always
writes about immigration. John, Welcome back to the fifty five
KRC Morning Show. Thanks so much for having me, Brian
pleasure and let us start with illegal immigrants getting commercial
driver's licenses for semi tractor trailers when they can't even
read or speak English. That this is a thing, John,

(01:56:52):
It just blows my mind. But it required the death
of three people because her gender Singh, who entered the
United States illegally from Mexico in twenty eighteen and could
not speak a word of English. God, is commercial driver's
license in the state of California engaged in an illegal
U turn, which is the most reckless thing I think
I've ever witnessed in video killing three people.

Speaker 12 (01:57:13):
So yes, and you know, this is one of those cases, Brian,
where Americans kind of look around and they say to themselves, like,
I don't recognize the country I live in anymore. You know,
I don't recognize my country because how did we end
up in a case where illegal aliens are receiving commercial

(01:57:35):
driver's licenses, as you mentioned, and it was not only
the sanctuary state of California that issued pardener or saying
a commercial driver's licenses, but also Washington State, which has
broad sanctuary policies, probably even more shrident than the state
of California. And you know, Trump's Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy

(01:57:58):
is open investigation into this because this is not happening
on a small scale. This is not a one off incident.
The open borders lobby for years now, and Breitbart News
has been following this for so many years, as long
as I've been there. And what's happening is that the
open borders lobby is well aware that oftentimes the way

(01:58:22):
ICE is able to arrest illegal aliens is through traffic stops.
Traffic stops by local department, local police departments, and sheriff's offices,
and those illegal aliens because of that traffic stop and
they're driving without a license, they are often turned over
to ICE agents. So the goal of the open Borders
lobby for years has been to pass date by state

(01:58:46):
drivers' licenses for illegal aliens to prevent ICE from ever
getting their hands on these illegal aliens. And this is
one of those instances.

Speaker 3 (01:58:56):
Well, I that it even happens is one thing. But
even if you're pro sanctuary state or city or whatever
the hell you want to call it, wouldn't you expect
that in getting a commercial driver's license, which allows you
to haul a semi tractor trailer rig and and and

(01:59:17):
and and I mean the whole an unbelievably heavy and
dangerous thing to operate, that you would hold everyone up
to very high expectations in terms of getting the license,
and that you wouldn't be able to issue a license
unless a person can speak and read English.

Speaker 12 (01:59:34):
Sure, well, and that's the thing. And I mean Marco
Rubio or Secretary of State, has done something very remarkable,
which is shutting down all visas going to foreign nationals
for the sole purpose of coming to the United States
to drive these commercial you know, semi trucks. Why is

(01:59:55):
the United States importing truck drivers?

Speaker 1 (01:59:58):
Amen?

Speaker 12 (01:59:59):
I mean we're we are importing people who do not
understand our traffic laws by no fault of their own,
from the United States. The United States has If you've
ever traveled outside of the United States, you are well
aware that the United States has the most strict traffic
laws probably in the world. There are countries where we

(02:00:20):
are importing commercial drivers to drive semi trucks from who
do not have traffic lanes, they don't have street lights,
They drive all over the road like upwards and down.
I mean, if they're not the United States.

Speaker 3 (02:00:34):
And they don't have tort laws. I mean, at least
one thing. You know, if you're driving around the United States,
if you commit, if you engage or cause an accident,
it's your fault. You're going to be held responsible economically
and for any damages that you cause. That's a foreign
concept in other countries.

Speaker 12 (02:00:50):
Yes, so it makes This is one of those instances
again where Americans hear about this and they never you know,
because their Americans are working and have normal jobs and
don't have the time like you and I to just
stay on top of the new cycle and constantly you
know what's going on and what the federal government is
doing and what they're not doing. And this is one

(02:01:12):
of those cases where it's like, are Americans even aware
that the government has been importing foreign nationals to drive
commercial semi trucks? I mean, how is this ever the
law to begin with.

Speaker 3 (02:01:26):
It's a good question, and I think people are screaming
at the radio right now going because the big companies
that need to hire all these semi tractor trailer drivers
are looking for a value in a discount. These are
lucrative jobs. I mean for US citizens, you can make
six figures driving a.

Speaker 12 (02:01:42):
Semi absolutely, and you can understand that that is not
only very enticing for companies to hire drivers at a discount,
because foreign nationals, by you know, I mean this has
been tons and tons of economic research showing that, you know,
the immigrant population is much more willing to take lower

(02:02:04):
wages than native born Americans and less benefits as well,
which is also cost stating to these big rig companies.
It's not only that, but you can imagine that someone
coming to the United States who would be making pennies
on the dollar driving a truck in their home country.
You know, even if their salary here is starting at

(02:02:26):
sixty thousand, that is huge for them because that's much
more than they would be making in their home country.

Speaker 3 (02:02:33):
Right and Walmart gets two for the price of one. Yes,
all right, Since we're talking with the immigration expert John
Bender again, you can read what he writes at Breitbart
dot Com. Let's pivot over to the case that never dies.
Kilmar Obrego Garcia. He's at it again, and I see

(02:02:55):
a judge yesterday blocked him from being deported to Uganda,
of all places. We can talk about that because apparently
he is entitled to due process and the only fact,
and he's already been through due process, He's already has
an order of deportion deportation. He couldn't go back to
his home country of Al salvad Or, at least previously
couldn't because of some claim that he might be subjected
to I don't know, harassment or something. But they had

(02:03:19):
picked a different country, and I don't know how they
came up with Uganda. But now he's got a judge
blocking his deportation to Uganda because it's Uganda, I guess,
because that's the only fact that's changed, Right, He's still
subject to deportation.

Speaker 12 (02:03:34):
Sure, yes, that's exactly right. And I mean this is
particularly appalling because a prior, you know, ruling had stated
that the Trump administration was well within the law to
deport illegal aliens to these third countries like Uganda. You know,
there was the case of the Trump administration trying to

(02:03:57):
deport a handful of illegal aliens from like Central America
to Sudan and Uganda, and of course the administration is
within the law. The law in the Hawaii case is
so incredibly clear from the Supreme Court that the president
has incredible broad authority over the issue of immigrations. And

(02:04:24):
for this particular judge to for all of these judges
to continuously block this man's deportation, I mean, we saw
that most famously with Judge Bosberg just taking it upon
himself to block the presidential administration from carrying out what
is federal law. The law is very clear it requires

(02:04:49):
that immigration officials detain and deport illegal aliens like that
is the statute. So that's why it's particular, lily appalling
for these judges to step in on this issue because
the law is so clearly on the president's side and
he is within his authority to do this. And you know, Brian,

(02:05:11):
I want to just touch on some of the money
behind this, because Americans looked at the case of Kilmar
Abrego Garcia and they say to themselves, how is this
man hiring all these lawyers, How is there a rally
held for him? Like of this well funded rally that
was held for him that was basically like a press conference.
This is steeped in Sorows money and we've done a

(02:05:35):
series of stories on this at Breitbart. The group COSA
is funded to the tune of millions of dollars every
few years by Sorous' Open Society Foundations. And this is
Alex and George Soris's network of huge donor funded groups,
and that's where this is coming from. Kill mar Abrego Garcia.

(02:05:58):
His lawyers are being funded by KASA. This rally that
was held for him, which was basically a press conference,
we heard the whole SOB story again, all funded by KASA,
which is funded by the Open Society Foundation, which is
funded by George Soros and Alex Soros. So there's huge
financial stake that is tied to the Democrat party here,

(02:06:22):
and you know, Democrats are trying to make an example
out of this. It's a very poor example.

Speaker 3 (02:06:26):
Well it's a terrible example based on his background, I mean,
purported gang member. Has that been definitively established that he
was a wife beater and gang member. I mean because
overwhelmingly I know you've seen the polls. You know, John Benner.
This is a losing issue for the Democrats for the
not only just open borders generally speaking, but the idea
that you know, not ejecting criminal, illegal aliens from our country.

(02:06:48):
I mean, that's what people want in large margins. So yeah,
George Soros can throw millions and millions of dollars behind
Kilmar or Bragio Garcia, but this is exactly the kind
of person vast majority of America, like eighty one booted
out of the country.

Speaker 12 (02:07:03):
Yes, and I think that something that you know your
listeners will be interested to kind of they should note
for themselves next time they see Democrats on either on
TV or on Twitter talking about kill Mar and Brego Garcia,
it's it's the same group of Democrats. It's like six

(02:07:24):
or seven of them. They're shouting the loudest, and if
you notice the rest of the House Democrats, the rest
of the Senate Democrats are keeping their mouths totally shut
about it. And you can imagine that there are consultants
behind the scenes telling them shut up. They tell Democrats
every four years stop talking about immigration.

Speaker 3 (02:07:44):
Well that hasn't stopped. Senator Chris van Holland, who you
wrote about over on Breitbart John.

Speaker 12 (02:07:51):
Well, I mean this is he is like the face
of this of the kill mar Abrego Garcia case. I
mean he has staked Chris van Holland staked his entire
career on defending the interest of an illegal Aalian who
has been ordered deported, who is accused of being an
MS thirteen gang, who's accused by his wife of beating her,

(02:08:13):
and is now accused by the Justice Department of being
part of a massive state by state human smuggling ring
from the US Mexico border all the way up to Maryland.

Speaker 3 (02:08:22):
That sounds like as a rico charge.

Speaker 12 (02:08:26):
But this is just unbelievable, the extremities that the Democrats
are willing to go out on a limb for. We've
never seen this kind of behavior on the behalf of Americans,
you know, Kristin Holland. I would love to see footage
of him visiting Americans that are, you know, unjustly locked
up in prisons for crimes that they did not commit.

(02:08:48):
I mean, we've not seen that footage. We've not seen
those videos. But he was willing to travel all the
way to El Salvador to meet an illegal alien who
was deported under federal immigration law.

Speaker 3 (02:08:59):
Well, well, I think the one benefit from this nonsense,
and I think this is all nonsense. The guy is
going to get chucked out of the country at some point.
It sends a huge message. This is the most I mean,
of all the individual illegal immigrants in our country. I
think Kill Moore Bragio Garcia is getting more press than anybody.
But it's well, it shows to the world that this

(02:09:20):
is what's going to happen if you're an illegal immigrant,
even if you have Senator Van Holland on your side,
you are going to be deported. You're going to be
locked up, you're going to be held in detention, you're
going to be ordered to leave the country, and we
are going to fly you out of the country. So
it's like a big marketing campaign for folks who were
in the country to self deport and also a message
to everybody outside of the country, don't bother same thing's

(02:09:40):
going to happen to you. Is happened to Kill Moore,
You just won't get as much press over it.

Speaker 12 (02:09:44):
Yes, and it should not be you know, that should
not be underestimated. How effective Ye that is because those
that follow us immigration law and policy the closest are
would be illegal aliens who are planning to travel to
the US Mexico border or over state or visas, and

(02:10:06):
the Mexican drug cartels. They follow US immigration law and policy.
The absolute closest and the message that this sends is
that you should self deport because you could be the
next kill mar Abrego Garcia. You could be sent to
a country that is not even your home country.

Speaker 3 (02:10:25):
Uganda and Uganda. I mean, I'm sorry, I have to
go back to the nineteen eighties. Johnny Dangerously was a
movie and the joke character that there was a gangster
and his name was Jocko Dundee and he had this crazy,
outrageous accent. And it's towards the end of the movie
they had a headline, you know, Jacko Dundee to be
deported to Sweden. He says he's not from there. I mean,

(02:10:46):
it was a really comical thing at the point. But look,
kilmar Abregio Garcia being deported to Uganda, He's not from there.
That's a warning shot to everybody in the world. Do
you want to end up in Uganda? I'll tell you what, John,
I appreciate the time you spoke my listeners of me
today I appreciate your writing about immigration over at Breitbart
and all the things that Breitbart does. Keep up the
great work. I'll look forward to having you back on

the latest update. Welcome back, Daniel Davis. Always a real
pleasure to have you on my program and always a

(02:13:10):
pleasure to be here, and good to be back in
the studio today. And oh, yeah it is. That's right.
Last week was on the telephone. That's all right, it
was we got it in, we got the information we
needed and another week has passed, so they resolved the
conflict between Russian and Ukraine.

Speaker 16 (02:13:23):
Yeah, Daniel Davis, Wow, you know I assumed. I mean,
it's been a whole week. You'd figure the word be
over by now. But yeah, it doesn't look like there's
been any change since last time you and I talked.

Speaker 3 (02:13:33):
Well, except there was a map that was posted Aljira
is the site. I don't suppose it really matters, but
it shows who controls what in Ukraine, and you know,
Russian advance areas, Russian control areas. This I just sum
it up as from my perspective, it is not a
pretty picture for President Zelenski and Ukraine because Russia keeps

(02:13:56):
seeping further and further west.

Speaker 15 (02:14:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:14:02):
In fact, there was another one and I think it
was the Institute for the Study War, which is and
also one in a Wall Street Journal which put probably
the same kind of information out there. I mean, the
information is what it is. And if you have this
dichotomy that's hard to explain. On the one hand, you
have these very bold and brash statements by Zelensky on

(02:14:23):
Sunday on his independence Day where he said, we haven't
won yet, but we will definitely not lose and we
are going to Basically, we're still looking for territorial integrity,
we still want our borders back. We're still not going
to give away any territory. And by the way, I
still want more bombs and bullets and stuff from everybody.

Speaker 12 (02:14:41):
And then you have the.

Speaker 16 (02:14:42):
European leaders lining up, cheering it on, saying yes, here's
some more stuff. Germany says, yeah, we're going to give
you more things, just in the last twelve hours. But
then you look at that map and you look at
the Russian side, which says, listen that we haven't changed
any of our stances and well over a year. And
if you want to keep going down that path there,

(02:15:03):
we'll keep going down the path we're going in, which
is slow by any measure. But in terms of territory,
but it keeps piling up the Ukrainian casualties and you
just can't sustain that over time.

Speaker 3 (02:15:15):
It just can't be done. I think it was Wall
Street Journal, and I read it was an interesting suggestion.
I didn't quite buy into it. But Ukraine's drone attacks
on the refineries and oil production in Russia and the
Russian territory is having an impact the rationing gasoline, I
guess in some places in Russia. And they were kind
of suggesting that, well, you know, maybe Ukraine could really

(02:15:36):
make something of this. If they can tank Russia's economy
by hitting its oil infrastructure really hard, somehow that's going
to result in maybe some form of victory. Not knowing
where all the oil refineries are and where all the
drilling is done in Russia, Sir, I don't really know
if Ukraine has the ability to reach and hit a

(02:15:56):
bunch of Russian oil infrastructure targets. They can hit some,
clearly because they've done it. But what do you make
of that suggestion? Yeah, that's a thin hope.

Speaker 16 (02:16:07):
And according to the Russian press that I looked at
just before we came on here, there are some serious
concerns about what that's doing to the gasoline supply throughout
the country, and there are some, but you've got to
understand just like what's going on in the opposite direction.
When the Russians attack on the Ukraine oil infrastructure, that
causes a lot of difficulty and pain, but those things

(02:16:29):
get repaired and then they get brought back online.

Speaker 3 (02:16:32):
And it's the same thing in Russia too.

Speaker 16 (02:16:33):
I think the number is like eighteen percent according to
one calculation, that the refining capacity has been taken offline. Well,
that still shows you that eighty two percent is online,
and a lot of it, as you point out, is
beyond the range of anything of the Ukraine side.

Speaker 3 (02:16:48):
So that will continue on.

Speaker 16 (02:16:49):
And if Russia has to ration gas for its population
in some areas, they'll do that as long as it
doesn't affect the military, which by all accounts it has not.
So when you're talking about war making capacity, that causes
pain for the Russians. They don't like it, but it
doesn't limit their ability to fight at the front line
or in the air, and that is where the war

(02:17:09):
is being lost by.

Speaker 3 (02:17:10):
The Ukraine side. Yeah, and of course the imbalance in troops,
that's something a common theme between you and I. Russia
has obviously almost unlimited number of troops, although I noted,
did I read correctly that the North Koreans are no
longer involved in fighting the conflict in Ukraine or not?

Speaker 16 (02:17:27):
But there's apparently a potential on the table for it.
If the two sides decide it's a good idea, they
could have up to thirty thousand more. But even that
number is really inconsequential because Russia apparently has more than
enough troops. In fact, they've got somewhere most reports somewhere
around seven to eight hundred thousand not in contact that
they could call upon if needed. So thirty thousand from

(02:17:50):
North Korea is probably not going to make any difference strategically.

Speaker 3 (02:17:53):
And what do you make of the At least I
read that the United States was prohibiting Ukraine from launching
further are longer range strikes into Russia? That's we're taking
an active role in strategy. Is this like Vietnam we
have you know, consultants on the ground and helping them
out from a logistics standpoint, or is this just a
practical consequence. Well, if you want aid from the United States,

(02:18:15):
you want missiles from the United States. You can't shoot
them at longer distances. I'm trying to make some sense
out of all this.

Speaker 16 (02:18:22):
Yeah, yeah, for sure that there are limitations and constraints
on the supplies that the Trump administration is given to Ukraine.
And of course, and that makes sense. I mean, if
Trump is having all this personal negotiations with Vladimir Putin
trying to bring the war to an end, it's not
gonna go well if at the same time he's enabling
the Ukraine side to have these long range strikes it

(02:18:44):
hit important targets deep inside of Russia which can only
be effected using American troops to get it done. Because
a lot of these things are so technical and require
capabilities beyond what Ukraine has, you can't just hand them
a missile launcher and say, hey, do whatever you want
with this.

Speaker 3 (02:18:59):
They have we have to participate in key.

Speaker 16 (02:19:01):
Areas here, and I suspect I don't know for a fact,
but I suspect that that probably was part of the
conversations privately between Putin and Trump, that he's saying, hey,
you want to be a mediator here, but you can't
be a mediator if you're simultaneously allowing them to hit
us deep inside here. You need to call that off
if you really want to have it, and then maybe
we'll have some concessions for you, et cetera. I suspect

(02:19:23):
that's probably part of what's.

Speaker 12 (02:19:24):
Going on here.

Speaker 3 (02:19:25):
Well, wash Rents repeat this every time we talk about
the current status of negotiations. Clearly there is no ceasefire.
The war continues. Russia continues to make some tiny advances.
They're going back and forth with a tit for tat.
The position of Zelnsky has not changed, and the position
of Ladimir Putin has not changed. If Putin wants his land,

(02:19:47):
however much it is, Zlenski says, no land period, end
of story. We remain at this permanent impass, don't we.
I mean, really well, we remain We remained a diplomatic impass.
We don't remain at a military impasse because Russia continues
to grind away. And when I say grind away, I
mean primarily on the Ukrainian armed forces and the composition

(02:20:10):
of their army more than the land. The land is
a byproduct according to what the Russians say, and that
we see that that's exactly what they're doing.

Speaker 16 (02:20:17):
Now, you look at the economies, because you have to
have an economy to be able to enable operations at
the front line here, and you see that the Ukrainian
economy has just been gutted all throughout this war, and
yet they still remain in the fight. And there are
some signs on the Russian economy that it's going down,
but don't put your hopes in that, because you still

(02:20:38):
see the grinding down at the front. Well, and to
the extent we have any arsenal any eras left in
our quiver in terms of sanctions, do you see them
as a vehicle to get this thing resolved or have
we used all our ammo in terms of sanctions. Well,
in fact, it's because of the previous rounds of sanctions
and the arrows we've used to use your analogy there,

(02:21:00):
that Russia has had to reorient its economy into other
areas so that it's not subject to that. So you
can still throw some arrows out there, But now then
Russia has made itself almost impervious, certainly has greatly reduced
the risk that that could harm them by just modifying
their economy.

Speaker 3 (02:21:18):
So we just don't have the kind of arrows that
they need anymore. All right, let's real quick. We have
not talked about Israel Gaza in a long time. Just
want to get your sort of brief comments and maybe
summary of where you perceive that situation to be right now.

Speaker 1 (02:21:31):
Daniel Davis.

Speaker 16 (02:21:32):
Yeah, it's in a difficult situation here. I mean, you've
gotten some really troubling signs that have come out lately.
First of all, just even President Trump condemned an Israeli
attack on a hospital that was the double tapped and
so when the first aid workers came to try and
help out, they were then blown up. That's not helping
Israel at all because it's on camera, people can see it,

(02:21:54):
and it's hard to defend. Meanwhile, inside Israel, you have
another challenge in that this is what I've been arguing about,
that Israel is on a path where it cannot militarily
accomplish its goals, so it's just a permanent fighting. And
you had the Israeli chief of the IDF say that
he's vehemently asking Yahoo and this has just in the

(02:22:16):
last twenty four hours to take the ceasefire on the
table because we need it, the Israeli side needs it,
and you're not going to succeed, and by continuing to
occupy Gaza, you're going to put the remaining hostages lives
at risk. So there's a big debate inside even Israel
right now, and they're coming to the realization this is
not a military attainable goal and they're gonna have to

(02:22:37):
do something different.

Speaker 3 (02:22:38):
I've read a lot about the casualty the guys and
citizen casualties, but what of the Israeli casualties. I mean,
are is the military just merely exhausted or are they
losing a lot of lives in comparison.

Speaker 16 (02:22:51):
Of course, they're not losing anywhere near as many lives,
but they are wearing out the military itself. They're the
suicide are going up. PTSD is starting to be a problem.
And because Israel has always relied on a relatively small
active force and then a big reserve force that they
can call up in times of war, well now then

(02:23:11):
you're talking, you're closing in on two years, and it's
just not designed to do that to be a permanent deal,
because all the lives of these reservists are now getting
turned upside down because they're constantly on and off of activeduty,
and that messes up their businesses and everything else. And
again it's just not sustainable because the system wouldn't design
for this kind of a war. Israel's going to have

(02:23:31):
to do something different or everybody's gonna end up losing.
