Speaker 1 (00:06):
Five o five at fifty five k r C the
talk station.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Happy Tuesday, Education and that's the way the news goes.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
It is and we got Monday under our belt and
moving on to Tuesday. And what do we got on
the line up this morning? And a very happy Tuesday
to everybody in the listening audience. Appreciate you tuning into
the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Appreciate Joe Strecker for
producing the program. Executive producer Joe Tracker. Anyway, caught up
Steve Gooden, the return of Steve Gooden. We just had

(00:52):
him on recently talking about some lawsuits and today he's
going to put on his Charter Committee hat, which is
asking for the full repeal of Connected Communities. Steve got
involved with that, but Charter Committee Greater Cincinnati unanimously voted
to demand a full repeal the Connected Community's zoning legislation

(01:15):
which was pushed through which they say without any meaningful
community input, which it was pointing out that will lead
to unregulated development, increased teardowns, and growing congestion while ignoring
the real needs of neighborhoods. According to their announcement, the
Charter Committee is of Greater Cincinaty calls for the wholesale
repeal of the so called Connected community zoning legislation. So

(01:37):
Steve Gooden, our lawyer friend, providing insight and analysis on
the Charter Committee and what connected communities really is and
why they're arguing it should be repealed. Inside scoop. But
it is Tuesday, we get the inside scoop with bright
Bart News Today. Aw R. Hawkins, the second Amendment guy

(02:00):
from bright Bart gonna be talking about Mexican president threatening
lawsuits that the cartels are labeled terrorists. Let that sink in.
If you think about Mexico, The problem with Mexico is
the cartels pretty much run everything. And if you're a
politician that wants to eradicate the crime and the murders

(02:22):
and the chaos and everything else those cartels bring about
and of course undermining the Mexico's ability to rise up
and improve itself, they stand in the way at every turn.
And if you're a politician that runs to eradicate them
or otherwise deal with their corruption and all the death

(02:42):
and dismemberment that they are responsible for, they kill you.
We want to try to stop that. We want to
try to stop the cartels from well bringing fentanyl into
our country. We want to stop the cartels from human trafficking,
most notably children being used as sex slaves and being
ferried into our country for the purposes of pedophiles in

(03:05):
our country. There's a special place in Hell for each
and every one of you. But she threatening lawsuits against
gun makers if the cartels are designated as terrorist groups.

(03:25):
I'm sorry, can you connect point A to point B
on that one? They manufacture firearms, What someone does with
the firearm after it ends up in a retail establishment
or is otherwise lawfully purchased on the market is beyond

(03:47):
their control. Are they going to stop manufacturing something that well,
their business thrives upon that. They're in the business to
do blets a gun, Yeah, it is, and guns can

(04:08):
be used for rope quite lawful purposes. It's the great equalizer.
Point that out all the time, and I'm the first
person to do that. Look. Oh from AWR Hawkins over
on Bike Part A juvenile reportedly retrieved a handgun this
over the weekend Manchester, Kentucky, shot and killed two armed intruders. Well,

(04:31):
it looks like an effective use of a handgun into
pretty dangerous situations, and a juvenile was able to well
equalize the situation when fifty one year old Jeffrey Allen
and forty four year old Roger Smith entered the home
with the intent to steal guns out of a safe.
According to Kentucky State Police, they're dead now. Happened about

(04:55):
four point thirty in the morning when they forced their
way into the home. W KYT report of the juvenile,
who was home at the times shot. Both of the
men escaped through a bedroom window. Forty four year old
I'm sorry, fifty one year old Jeffrey Allen. He died

(05:16):
at the scene. The Smith guy died after being taken
to the hospital. Police calling the juvenile's action self defense. Huh,
how about that. Let's sue the gun manufacturers for providing
the juvenile an opportunity to defend himself and his family
from very dangerous intruders who broke into their home. Let's

(05:42):
sue the gun manufacturers, so you have a good illustration
of why a gun is an important thing to have
in that case. In that particular case, I'm guessing the
firearm was lawfully purchased, was in the home, So we'll
ignore that one where the firearm and the purchase of

(06:05):
the firearm actually achieved one are the intended results, which
is providing you an opportunity to defend yourself from bad guys. Now,
had that firearm been illegally transferred and taken across the
southern border, did the firearm manufacturer have anything to do

(06:30):
with that? If someone uses a firearm to go out
and commit an active murder, was that at the direction
of the firearm manufacturer? Of course not. But moving away
from that logic and reason, the firearm manufacturer is not
responsible for the ultimate end user and whether or not

(06:51):
they use it for lawful purposes or for criminal purposes,
it's beyond their control. It doesn't make the firearm itself illegal.
We have a second amendment, right, thank you. But moving
over to the topic we're talking about aw with a W. R. Hubbins,

(07:12):
the Mexican president is going to sue firearm manufacturers, not
period end of comment, which other states and others have
tried to do unsuccessfully. I might add, be for the
reasons that I just mentioned, but because we as a
country are going to designate the criminals that are the

(07:34):
car tells terrorist organizations and look at the definition of
a terrorist organization. I mean, what the cartels, given the
activity that they engage in regularly, fall square within it.
I'm surprised prior administrations haven't already done that. That's you know,

(07:56):
I'm just okay. We got other topics to talk about
with aw are at a five ah Daniel Davis deep
dive of Europe ready for Russia, Ukraine ceasefire and the
United Kingdom ready to support the ceasefire. And it does

(08:19):
look like Trump's going on his own and endeavoring to
shore up some peace there. Over to Europe, jd Vance
called Germany's free speech restrictions Orwellian this yesterday, say the
other European countries should join the United States and rejecting
their Orwellian free speech laws. What free speech laws, let's

(08:42):
dive into them. This is insane. I'm glad I live
in a country that has a Second Amendment right to
keep in bare arms. I'm also glad I live in
a country that has a First Amendment right to free speech,
a free exercise, and freedom of assembly. So we go
over to sixty minutes. Apparently German prosecutors and you don't

(09:04):
know them, I imagine, unless you're really keeping close track
to who's prosecutors in Germany? Anyway, Three clowns called Savenja Meninghause,
Matt House Fink, and Frank Michael Lau on sixty minutes
discussing their country's new speech laws, which are in their

(09:25):
criminal statutes, and they all confirm that insulting someone in
public and online is a crime in Germany. Can you
imagine if it was criminal behavior in this country to
insult somebody, Joe, I think you and I'd be in jail.

(09:54):
According to one of the prosecutors, mister Fink, the fine
could be even higher if you insult someone on the Internet.
Follow this line of reasoning, please, because with the Internet,
it stays there. And I got to pause and reflect
on that, because the Left and the Democrats are having
a real struggle with the Internet and some of the

(10:16):
comments they previously made, most notably related to Doge. They
hate doads, they hate the idea that Elon Musk is
farting out fraud, waste and abuse, and yet many of
them are literally on record as demanding the ferreting out
of fraud, waste and abuse, including the former president Joe Biden.
I'll get to that anyway. Because of the Internet, it

(10:39):
stays there. Good point. If we are talking here face
to face and you insult me and I insult you, okay, finish.
But if you're on the Internet and I insult you
or a politician. He actually did a subcategory to underscore
the fact that politicians cannot be insulted. But if you're

(11:01):
on the Internet, I and soul you or a politician,
it's there forever report of the punishments for breaking Germany's
speech laws include prison time for repeat offenders. Apparently, the
prosecutors explain that German law prohibits what they call malicious gossip,
violent threats, and fake quotes. So when I read fake quotes,

(11:25):
I think of like memes and comedy. They say, anyone
who reposts a post that is not true is also
committing a crime. According to the prosecutor Mettinghouse. In the
case of reposting, it is a crime as well, because

(11:45):
the reader cannot distinguish whether you invented this or reposted it.
That's the same for us. I I'm just and and
Vance is in trouble now, at least among some circles.

(12:07):
They're being critical of JD. Vance for defending free speech
and suggesting that Europe shouldn't go down that road.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
I just.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
You know, it's at this moment in time you should
really count your blessings and thank god you live in America,
and reflecting back on what the Biden administration had been
doing to social media and getting people within the bowels
of government, the FBI and the CIA, I presume, and
all of these lettered agencies getting into social media companies

(12:47):
like Facebook. Look at the Facebook and the Twitter files
that Elon Musk released after he bought it for the
purposes of making an open environment to exchange thoughts and ideas. Yes,
you are going to be insulted on Twitter, perhaps, but
you know what, you can say something back. You can
offer a more well logical and reasonable argument in the

(13:08):
face of some nonsensical comment someone makes. That's the free
exercise of your speech. That is the exchange of ideas.
It's an open forum to hopefully come up with the
best possible solution through the free exchange. But they don't
want that. You think woke ideology is wrong. You think

(13:28):
telling you boys that they can be girls in spite
of the fact they can look down and say, oh, look, twiggingberries.
But I'm still a girl, really suppressing the counter argument
to that. No, you're not even X and Y chromosome.
You also have a Johnson so you can't be a girl.
You're not a girl. Now, we all recognize that in

(13:51):
your head, and I think there's a DSM five diagnosis
for this. That you truly believe you're a girl. I
can accept that all day long. That is what you
think in your head. I think of anorexics who are
just skin and bones, who literally look in the mirror
and literally see see a fat person. They're not definitionally fat,

(14:17):
they are objectively skinny, yet in their mind they see fat.
I understand that complex. I don't deny that that's what
they see, and through therapy perhaps they can overcome that.
And I know a lot about anexity because I dated

(14:37):
one for quite some time. It's not fun, but to
exchange the idea and to talk about no chromosomally speaking
and well biologically speaking, there are two sexes. Suppress that message,

(14:58):
remove it from Facebook, remove it from Twitter now x
that's what our government was doing. And JD Vance gets
in trouble for calling out the European Union for engaging

(15:19):
in those types of endeavors. I think he's onto something
five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty two three talk
time five fifty on AT and T phones. Stick around.
I'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.

talk station. I was looking at this delta flight ended
up on its back. How did the plane flip over.

(16:44):
I've seen four or five articles over and you may
have seen the footage, or rather the aftermath. Anyway, I
haven't seen video of how it actually ended upside down,
but wow, what divine intervention that no one was killed
in that. I just wanted to how it ended up
on it's back. And they're already the left screaming that

(17:06):
it's Donald Trump's fault. Don't you love? Don't you love
that Donald Trump caused that plane wreck, just like he
caused that Blackhawk helicopter to collide into a plane over
in DC. Yeah, it's all his fault. Five twenty five
five K City Talk station. Feel free to call. I
do have local stories to dive on into it, but

(17:26):
I'd rather talk to you. Got a comment maybe in
observation five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two to three talk time five fifty
on AT and T founds.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
I'll be right back fifty five krc.

Speaker 7 (17:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (17:40):

three talk prop to the Northern Kentucky Young Marines. I
just got an email yesterday from Lynn Arnold, who's with
the Young Marines, and she brought in the Young Marine
of the Year, and what an impressive young lady. She was. Unbelievable.
Her speaking ability, her intellect, her knowledge, her discipline just

(18:45):
just springs from the Young Marines. And if you are
interested in the Northern Kentucky Young Marines or doing a
recruit training session, they said, according to Lynn, if you
know anybody age eight to eighteen who may be interested
in joining us, because there's been extra interest in the
program recently, and I hope we here on the fifty
five Carsy Mornings, that'll be Joe Strecker and me had

(19:06):
some influence over folks because this is an absolutely amazing organization.
So if you're interested in it, I'm happy to share
the news about this Saturday, February twenty second, one thirty
in the afternoon at Marshall Shildmeyer VFW Post sixty ninety five.
That's in Latonia, Kentucky, three forty three East forty seventh Street, Covington.

(19:31):
Interested youth plus a parent or guardian must attend an
informational session before signing up for recruit training. So there
you have it. Maybe I'll forward this to Joe. You
see if we can add it to the fifty five
Casey Morning Show page. Just I mean impressive. If you
want your young person to be an upstanding citizen, have decency, respect, discipline, honor,

(19:55):
that's the organization you need to get your young person
involved with. So Nky Youngmarnes dot com for the details
on that. Anyway, I always promote Matthew twenty five Ministries
because I know a dollar given is a dollar that's
going to end up in the hands of those who
need it. When it comes to charitable work. Now, if

(20:16):
you go with something like uh, United Way, a little
bit of overhead, there big salaries being paid. Matthew twenty
five doesn't go down that road, and their ministry is
actively working to aid those affected by the deadly floods
in Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Of course they are
all that rainfall over the weekend resulted eleven fatalities, flooded
numerous communities, thousands of people without homes, other essential items

(20:39):
including electricity and flowing water. Matthew twenty five asking for
the following donations for restocking during the response for possible
and they're for the and for future disasters as well.
Following items accepted at their facility eleven eighty three Kenwood Road,
Blue Ash. Just look M two. I think it's M

(21:01):
twenty five, M dot com or dot org if I
remember correctly. I don't quote me on that, but just
look up Matthew twenty five ministries and your search engine.
You'll find them what they need. Cases of bottle water,
personal care products like antibacterial soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, as shampoo,
body washed jyodorant, lotion, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, general cleaners, sponges,

(21:22):
bleach powdered form is preferred, they say, mops, scrubbrushes, buckets,
rubber gloves, and things in that various categories. Use your imagination.
Paper products like toilet paper, paper, towels, baby and infant supplies, divers, wipes,
stiper rash ointment, baby wash, baby shampoo, and baby loation.
First aid items such as bandages, gozepad, first aid tape,
aniseptic cream, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, latex, glove instance, cold packs,

(21:49):
candles and flashlights. Cleanup supplies, protective eyewar like work gloves,
trash bags, etc. And I imagine this is not an
exhaustive list that I just read off from Matthew twenty five.
So if you're in a position to help out and
you want your aid to go to victims, Matthew twenty five,
that is the place. Uh Sincinni Fraternal Order, Police and

(22:12):
the CINCINNTI Firefighters Union Local forty eight filed complaints against
the city Community Response Initiative. Unions allege the City of
Cincinnati Community Responder program violates their collective bargaining agreement court.
To FOP president Ken Kober, speaking with Fox nineteen, thank
you Ali Hearnard for reporting it's a danger to the public.
He said, These folks clearly don't have the training police

(22:33):
officers do, but they have them going out and trying
to engage in those activities. Police and the firefighters are
opposing CINCINNTI Emergency Communications Center Community Responder program cour to
the City of Cincinnati. Community responders initial cap on that
we're reresponsible for non emergency issues reported a three one

(22:53):
one to nine to one one that do not require
a police officer's response. I'm trying to process how they
figure out what does and does not require a police officer.
In August last year, since any FOP said set, a
cease and desist order was sent to the city. Cobert
explained the city that this was to let city officials

(23:15):
know that if they wanted to go through with the initiative,
they would have to negotiate with the police and firefighters' union.
Cober said they didn't do that. City went ahead with
a program allowing community responder, a city employee, to respond
instead of a police officer to non emergency calls for service.
The intent to free up police to handle more urgent incidents.
The end of October last year, Cincinnti FOP filed an

(23:39):
unfair labor practice complaint against the city. Cober said the
initiative has been a problem since it began. At the
end of twenty twenty four and the last January, the
city firefighters union sent a cease and desist letter as
well as the city manager, claiming that their members had
lost their bargaining unit work. A statement from union chief
Joe Elliott since fire Fighters Union Local forty eight Philly

(24:01):
supports initiative initiative innovative rather solutions to improve public safety,
but not at the expense of the well being of
our community or the effectiveness of our emergency response system.
Ohio State Deployment Relations Board, responding to the complaint, deciding
on mediation between the FOP and the city for a resolution.

(24:26):
When asked for comment Fox nineteen, you get a response.
Got a couple of callers online. You folks will be
first before I get to the stack and stupid and
I'm happy to hear from you. Don't go away. It's
five point thirty five here fifty five KRC detalk station.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
This is fifty five KARC and iHeartRadio station money change.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Here.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
It is your nine first wenty weether forecast. It's called
twenty one or high today, cloudy and a snow moves
in overnight. When a rather advisory kicks in around it
says around northern.

Speaker 8 (24:58):
Kentucky had a little silk activity of that little fifteen
or night high at twenty two tomorrow with early snow possible,
watch out for the slick spots.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Overcast Wednesday night snow will taper off higho River, probably
going to go over to floodstate low of twelve degrees
and a partly clotty Thursday with a high of twenty
three fifteen degrees. Right now, I think about KRC talk
station time for first traffic from the UCL Traffic Center.
You see health.

Speaker 9 (25:26):
You'll find comprehensive care and that's so personal it makes
your best tomorrow possible. That's boundless care for better outcomes,
expect more, and you see health dot Com. Highway traffic
doing fine early on this Tuesday morning, no major issues,
even with a little bit of snow falling in some spots.
Kellogg is now underwater near Sutton chuck Ingram on fifty

(25:48):
five KR scene them talk station.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
By forty fifty five kr c DE talk station. Before
I get this tack of stupid. Got a couple of
callers online and color storys. Welcome in little the stack
of stupid five one three, seven, two three talk time
in fact fifty on AT and T phones. We will
begin in the order which they're received, meaning Bobby is first, West,
hang on your next, Bobby, Welcome back, my friend.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Good morning, my brother. Keep that torture freedom going high
and bright, trying well. We got a couple of things
we can discuss about. It's either the cartel enemy combatant
issues or the change with German and Eve Colinar, VP,
Nazis and everything. But I think Marco Rubio took care

(26:33):
of her, chastise her real well.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
They just makes such fools out of themselves. Bobby, you know,
have you haven't we gotten past this whole Nazi thing,
Nazi Nazi maybe even though you pay attention to what
the definition of Nazi is.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Anyhow, when when you deal with idiots like that, they're
going to say things, but they don't talk about the
real thing. You know, German having an election on the
twenty third of this month, it's a free of speech
state been taken away. They're already taking their posting everything down.
And yes, the right wing goes very far, they'll cancel
the elections.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
You know what, you may be onto something on that,
and you're right. This criminalization of the freedom of speech
is exactly is designed exactly for that point to suppress
an alternative message. And know that AFP party are not
a bunch of Nazis. There are more concerned they they have.
They want control over their borders, which European doesn't have

(27:32):
any control over the borders. Their country's been overrun by
illegal immigrants. They've ruined their economy by chasing windmills and
solar panels. Hell, they can't even keep the electricity on.
They have to start buying Oh that's right, electricity from
France made from nuclear power because Germany, we're a bunch
of idiots and shutting down their own nuclear plans.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
One other thing I've got, I got a white paper
report two days ago about are how the country Tree
Intelligence Agency will be going after our enemy combatants to cartels.
And you know yourself, anytime someone's been deemed a terrorist
organization in other countries all over the world, what do

(28:14):
we do?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
We drone strike them.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
We drone strike and put their heads on pikes.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, and you know, Bobby, I'm on record as wondering
out loud, how in the hell is it we can
launch a missile strike into a country against whom we
have no declaration of war, merely declaring someone a terrorist organization.
I personally do not believe under the Constitution gives us
the right to go start dropping bombs in countries that
we don't have a war a declaration.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Of war in.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I mean, there's not even doing that. There's not even
an authorization for use of military force. Now, if Mexico
invites our troops to come in to fight the cartels
because they can't do it themselves, I think you got
a different set of circumstances.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Then they have to or their money somewhere. They've got
warehouses full of it. That number one will be going
after their money as the main thing. But there won't
be no drone strikes.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Well again, they already know who they are.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
They'll be putting bounties on them.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
M So maybe encouraging the Mexican population to take advantage
of a bounty that we have offered to knock off
the cartel leaders.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
We had a twenty million dollar bounty on the guy
in Syria that took over their government, and we dropped that.
Biden administration dropped it as soon as he got in
all of us.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
We could spend hours on the phone, Levy and criticized.
That's the Biden administration. Take up a lot of time.
Appreciate your call as always, my friend. Keep that flag
flying high. Brother, Let's see what Wes has got. Wes,
thanks for calling the Morning Show. Good to hear from you.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
Yeah, Hi, Brian.

Speaker 10 (30:00):
Read something on X this morning, as I haven't been
on there for a few days, but it's, uh, it's.

Speaker 11 (30:05):
I read that Zelensky.

Speaker 10 (30:08):
Is basically shutting down the Trump hootin peace talks and
is demanding two hundred and fifty billion from the West
to keep some war from ending.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Okay, have you have you?

Speaker 6 (30:23):
I did.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
I didn't see that, But my reaction is I get
I'm obviously laughing out loud. I don't think he's in
a position to bar Art to make demands West right,
I mean absolutely, But.

Speaker 12 (30:35):
You know, I guess, I guess. The part that I'd
like to to say is, uh, you know, well, let's
let Russia try to fight or let uh, let him
try to fight Russia with zero funded US dollars and
see how well that goes Erico.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Hence my point, he's not in a position to make demands.

Speaker 11 (30:55):
Well exactly, you know, and we've, let's face it, we've
protected funded half the world at one time or another,
of which a lot of those people hate our guts.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
That's true. But they like the money.

Speaker 13 (31:11):
Well, yeah, they like the money.

Speaker 11 (31:13):
But you know, at what time do we stop dumping
money at these people?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Well? I think that's part of what doge is all about.
I mean, I got a whole list of stuff that
dog is trying to stop from flowing, like circumcisions in Guatemala.
We're paying for that. Now you didn't know that, did you? Wess?

Speaker 14 (31:31):
Oh, I've heard so many of them.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
I know.

Speaker 13 (31:33):
It's mind blowing.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
It is mind blowing. And we got people that are
one and seventy nine years old getting social Security checks.
Is anything right with that picture? Yeah?

Speaker 11 (31:45):
It is an absolute mess.

Speaker 7 (31:46):
It is.

Speaker 10 (31:47):
If any one of us ran our businesses like the
federal government runs this country, we would have been out
of business or locked up in jail.

Speaker 7 (31:56):
Years.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I was waiting for the locked up in jail years ago,
because yes, a lot of the behavior seems to be
absolutely criminal if conducted by everyday citizens here in the
United States in their business practices. Excellent observations, Wes. I
do appreciate the call this morning, five forty six the

Pete's got to say this morning. Pete, thanks for calling
the morning show. Good to hear from you.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Thanks, Brian.

Speaker 15 (34:41):
I saw a news report that, like in the Washington,
DC area, internet searches.

Speaker 16 (34:48):
For Rico Law and attorneys blee shoring money of.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Skyrock.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, I saw that too. I wonder why.

Speaker 7 (34:58):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
I thought the funniest part of that article, because that
came up in conversation yesterday, was the big increase in
searches for bleach bit, which is the program that Hillary
Clinton used to eradicate all of the emails on her
email server. Yeah, didn't face any criminal responsibility or even
accountability for that one. Also, the number of houses on

(35:21):
the market in the Greater DC area has skyrocketed as well,
bringing the home values down a little bit because apparently
there is an excess supply given the number of people
leaving the area. So there you have it. My fellow
automotive loving friends know what a Ford GT is. So

(35:43):
we have a four GT owner in Boca Raton, Florida.
Of course Boca Raton. They got money there. Crashed his
recently purchased GT into a tree. Happened Friday evening because,
according to police, he was unfamiliar with how to I
have a stick shift. Idiots idiot, because they're idiots. Accord

(36:08):
to the report, fifty year old Robert Garani told police
officers he lost control after down shifting while leaving his
housing development at six pm, leading to a head on
collision with a palm tree. The car is a mess,
I might point out, told a nearby security worker he
did not have his cell phone with him, seeing he'd

(36:29):
ride back to his house and called the authorities VL Landline,
so that was his excuse for leaving the scene of
an accident. The police report said. He told officers. The
crash was caused by inexperience with the manual transmission. He said.
Also old tires, muddy pavement and fresh detailing were all

(36:52):
factors costing the five better than fifty horsepower supercar to
swing out of control and run into a palm tree.
Driver told Roadent Track that the crash occurred as he
shifted up into second gear from first, not well down
shifting as the official report states. He says, I don't
want people to think I was racing at ninety miles

(37:12):
per hour. I was going thirty five, yeah, just as
I think the car even goes thirty far gods thirty
five miles per hour park. According to Joe Let's you're

(37:33):
probably right on that job. Let's see here litigation myth
number twenty seven. Your claim must have merit. New Jersey
man wife was killed in a hippopotamus attack last year
during a safari in Africa, is now soon the US

(37:56):
company that arranged for the trip, alleging had failed to
ensure their safety, did not adequately screen and supervise the
tour guides, Craig Lisa Manders on a guided walk and
Zambia in June, when a hippo charged out of the water,
grabbed Lisa by its mouth and crushed her head and
body with a bite that in the lawsuit filed against

(38:18):
Africa Portfolio, the safari tour company based in Greenwich, Connecticut.
They denied the lawsuit's allegations. Of course, lawsuit filed in Standford, Connecticut,
alleged at a horrified Craig Manders had to watch the attack.
The tour guides, including at least one armed with a rifle,
walked away without helping the couple. Lisamanders, who was seventy

(38:39):
at the time, suffered catastrophic injuries and died shortly thereafter.
Attorney representing Craig, we're doing this because this should never
have happened. There were basic safety standards the businesses are
expected to follow, and that includes people in the safari
tour industry, and those were not followed and the consequences

(38:59):
here absolutely devastating, said The lawsuits seeking monetary damages that
have not yet been determined, as well as accountability for
Lisa Manders's death. There are on a special anniversary trip
first time they went to Africa. She worked in the
financial industry. The company's lawyer said it was not negligent

(39:20):
or reckless in connection with her death. He said African
Portfolio only arranged the couple's lodging and the owners of
the lodging provided the tour guides. They had no connection
with it. In other words, they said it was a tragedy.
But listen, it ain't our fault. It's like my comments
about the handgun industry.

Speaker 7 (39:40):
How you going to do?

Speaker 1 (39:41):
How do you hold a company accountable for what a wild,
raging hippopotamus does. Joe, that's a good point. Don't go
near the river.

Speaker 17 (39:55):
To da.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
See.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
But you know, maybe they're making that argument in the lawsuit, Joe.
They provide specific instructions to don't go near the river
idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Five fifty six
fifty five Carrioste Talks Station, Mississippi. James on the phone.
I gotta take a break, James. I will be happy
to take your call after return from the news covering

(40:20):
Trump's first one hundred days. Every day America's deadline is.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
Over fifty five car see the talk station for live radio.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
On the program, our legal expert from Porter right putting
on his charter Committee had which is asking for a
full repeal of the Connected Communities program, which was rammed
down everybody's throat by sin Sei City Council. We get
the details from Steve at seven thirty. Fast forward to
eight oh five, the inside scoop of bright bart News
Firearms Second Amendment expert A. W. R. Hawkins just cracking

(40:53):
up Mexican President threatening lawsuits if the cartels are labeled
tear lawsuits, get to fire our manufacturers. If we label
the most evil forces in Mexico as terrorists. What interest
does the Mexican President have in concerning themselves or herself

(41:14):
with us labeling them terrorists? It seems to me it
might help her out, like a poll of the Mexican
citizenry to see if they have a problem with that
and our efforts to stop the cartels from their nefarious actions. Anyway,
we got other topics to talk about with aw R.
Hawkins plus Daniel Davis Deep dive, and Trump going alone

(41:34):
with Vladimir Putin trying to resolve the Ukrainian War. Many
in Europe not real happy about that for reasons unknown
of course, and also the United Kingdom apparently ready to
support a cease fire. Why would they be against that Anyhow,
before we move on to the topics, I got Mississippi
James on the phone. James, thanks for holding over the brake.
It's always good to hear from you, my friend.

Speaker 6 (41:56):
Hey, hello, doctor Brian. I had one point and one
question I wanted to make. For a while on hold,
I heard mcguffy say she answered one of my questions.
He was saying that would be a press conference today
to talk about the Lincoln Heights, not say situation.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
I was trying to keep my ear to the grinding
rock to keep up with that. And it seemed that
My point is, it seemed like when you had fa
Fop Dan heell on there, sounded like he was doing
damage control, you know, instead of saying, let's look at
it and see what investigation take us, he jumped right

(42:37):
on it to do damage control. And he spoke of
us suspected people suspecting that one of the police officers
was involved, and he say, hey, let's quail that right now,
get rid of it. And the guy was on duty,
you know. He said all that. Then he immediately pivot

(42:58):
to oh, yeah, let's get to Hamilton County, Lisa Reese
and Dumas. He said they were stirring the pot. And
I'm just listening at that interview, it doesn't sound like,
you know, hey, let's see where the investigation go. It
was like it was damaged controlled, So that sounds suspicious.
But we'll see what Ms McGuffey say this morning at

(43:20):
the press conference.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
I'm interested in seeing what she has to say as well,
because you know, as I my initial reaction was, you know,
these idiots can say what they want supporting the right
to free speech. You know, free speech includes idiots like
Nazis speaking their mind about their stupid philosophy. But one
of the people who actually had an interaction with them,

(43:44):
a friend of Christopher Smithman named Eric, called me up
and said, you know, they were out in the street
and they approached me with a bullhorn and were calling me.
I think it was the N word. They were screaming
at him. So if they were out in the middle
of the street, that was a detail that wasn't widely
reported when the incident first happened, because all the reports
in the newspaper said these guys were on the sidewalk,

(44:05):
which they're allowed to peaceably assemble on the sidewalk, So
should a citation have been issued. I don't know, but
if Eric's reaction or interaction with those folks is accurate,
and I have no reason to doubt him, then maybe
that was something that they could have been cited for,
which is walking out in the middle of traffic and
impeding the flow of the traffic. But you can go back,

(44:26):
A lot of organizations were engaged in that kind of behavior.
Nobody got arrested or cited for that in the past.
So are we picking and choosing who were going to
cite and who were not. I know law enforcement does
that often, and I, like you, James, am willing to
wait for the fact to come out, and so far
it's a bit foggy. I think you'll agree. Okay, all right, yes, sir,

(44:53):
you're good man. James, thanks for calling. I just get
a big kick out. He listened to the fifty five
cassing Morning Show of Mississippi. We'll look forward to having
you back in town when the weather warms up. You're
in a good spot as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, Oh,
I love this some local stories. I didn't get to this,
but I want to let you know it's pothole season. Apparently.
Elizabeth Kim from the Inquirer, and nowhere in the reporting

(45:16):
is Sunset Avenue mentioned. Regular listeners know that it is
my favorite favorite pet peeve. That road is in absolutely
atrocious shape, and it's been that way as long as
I can remember, and people keep telling me it only
gets worse. Fortunately, I don't have to travel on that
road very often. It's usually when we have listened to
lunch at Price Hill Chili or maybe Chandler's Burger Bistro.

(45:41):
Hello to the folks at Chandler's, I miss you, parenthetically.
March First Brewery is the next listener lunch, which takes
place on March fifth. Don't confuse the dates or the location,
and it's the March first on East Kemper and across
from that Kids First. Anyway, Apparently, within the past six weeks,

(46:03):
pothole related service requests to the City of Cincinnati are
up forty six percent over the same period last year.
According to the inquire analysis, Thank you Elizabeth Kim for
reporting city has six hundred and seventy two more pothole
related complaints this year compared to the first month of
last year. A spokesperson was interviewed by the by the

(46:26):
Inquiry Southwest Ohio District of the state's Department of Transportations,
Kathleen Fuller said, well, we do see a lot more
pothole complaints in January and February because of the weather.
Of course, the freezing thaw cycle crosses a problem, and
according to the reporting, the apartment tries to get a
crew out to brace yourself for the laughter for those

(46:47):
folks living in neighborhoods that have had potholes that have
not been addressed for a long time. Tries to get
cruis out within twenty four hours of you reporting them.
They said, the weekends are likely to be slower. They
do a cold mix fix in the winter until crews
can follow up with a more permanent fix in warmer months. Sure,

(47:08):
they will use an online form to report damage to
your car. Anyone traveling on sunset, do you think you
really have an avenue to get your car repaired? The
Ohio Court of Claims will determine whether or not you
will be reimbursed, and if the decision is in your favor,
you get payment within six to eight weeks of the judgment.

(47:33):
As noted, the High Department of Transportation only maintains the
interstate route and state and federal routs outside of municipalities,
so you'll need to call your local authorities for local streets,
county roads, and township roads. So pivoting over to Cincinnati,
here you go and make use of this and see

(47:54):
what happens. I'd love to find out if they actually
respond to your complaints. It's three one one one sinceywy
dot com, three one one since since he dot Com.
Or call three to one one to request the pothole
repair or a car damage reimbursement. They say, make sure
you have your insurance damage claims ready, so report it

(48:18):
to your insurance company that you fell into a pothole.
Have that paperwork with you, and then again three one
one since you with y dot com or call three
one one see if you can get reimbursed in the meantime.
As Fuller said, it's important to I'd love this. It's
important to avoid swerving to avoid a pothole, suggesting it's

(48:43):
dangerous for yourself and other drivers. I guess that is
if you're not paying attention to the road while you're driving,
knowing whether or not there's someone to your left or
right when you endeavor to avoid damage to your car,
which I'm betting you'll never get reimbursed for. It's also
suggested that driving at or below the speed limits, she said,

(49:06):
which can help prevent damage when you hit a pothole
that you didn't see coming.

Speaker 18 (49:10):
Whatever reimburse I know Joe reimbursed. They claim they don't
have enough money to do the road repairs.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
In the first instance, they got four hundred and fifty
dollars of unattended just not meant, not even addressed road work.
It's been building up for decades. They keep falling further
and further behind. I thought the railroads said I was
supposed to have money for existing infrastructure. Do they have
people that are actually doing the road repair work? Seriously? Yeah,

(49:56):
I'd love that there's someone out there who actually made
a claim for reimbursement. And how did that go for you?
Maybe I'm wrong, I tend to think.

Speaker 10 (50:07):
Of not.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
And speaking of having your car service, what a perfect
time to mention my good friends at FORID Exchange. So
for traditionally imported manufactured cars, that's where you take it
Ford Exchange. While you're waiting for your reimbursement from the
City of Cincinnati for the pothole you ran over Ford
Exchange will fix your car for less than the dealer

(50:29):
will charge for the same repair, so it's out of alignment.
Maybe you got a rim that's looking like a pac
man your frame's. Bent Ford Exchange has the experience, knowledge
and the right equipment to service your European or Asian
imported car. Plus they also service teslas. They're all fully

He's a good guy and uh Susie Kahan like Swan's
a story of her grandparents escape from communist controlled Czecholeislovakia.
You can draw some interesting parallels with the direction our
country is going and what they went through in Czechoslovakia,
with well people dropping a dime on their neighbors who
are not well, not thrilled with communism. Hey, thanks to

(53:43):
all the comments on my Facebook page about this Maple syrup.
It's a rather interesting thing. We tapped just two trees
in our own yard, and if you even have a
small yard, you got a sugar maple in it. Damn
you can get a lot of sap out of that.
And I am telling you it is worth every little
bit of effort to tap the trees we got. I

(54:04):
was cooking down seven or eight gallons worth of sap
and ended up with one quart of maple syrup and
it is absolutely amazing. God, just the flavor is just
insanely good. But I got a lot of comments on that,
and no, I'm still on a zero to low sugar diet.

(54:25):
And thank you Westside Jim Keefer for calling me out
about that. A good chef tastes the product before handing
it off to friends and family to make sure it
meets the equality standards as your reputation is on the line.
So I haven't had much of it, and as I
commented on Facebook, I really really really do miss pancakes

(54:45):
and waffles and stuff like that. But it's worth it
because I feel a lot better. Consider getting sugar out
of your diet. You're gonna love this one. While the
while the left tries to defend the indefensible. Here you go,
you actually worked for this, and you know me, I
love pointing it out. It's your labor that is transferred
into taxpayer dollars that they steal from you or take

(55:07):
from you. Justify it if you will, If you will,
I know, we have an amendment that allows for the
income tax. Nefarious though it may be dodge identified over
the weekend. Ten million dollars in a world where we
talk in trillions these days, and billions seem to be
just like a we gloss over because I know that

(55:30):
it's insane amounts. Remember, a billion is a thousand stacks
of a million, and a trillion is a thousand stacks
of a billion. So ten million dollars may not sound
like a lot, but when you consider it went to
Mozambique for voluntary medical mail circumcisions, how does that make

(55:56):
you feel? Mozambique? And I bet there's a lot of
listeners driving around right now or waking up and having
their cup of coffee going, wait a minute, where in
the hell is Mozambique anyway? But from voluntary mail mail circumcisions,
moving on other projects funded by the United States, you

working fourteen million dollars for quote improving public procurement in Serbia.
Twenty nine million dollars for strengthening political landscape in Bangladesh.

seven million dollars at least in state in the United
States going to the University of California, Berkeley, of course,
to develop quote a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise
driven skills close quote an additional two point three million

(58:07):
Right now? Go ahead scream at me. Tell me does
is evil? Tell me this money is justified? And in
so doing, please explain to me how you can justify

Good morning, Brian Thomas.

By the way, when snow's like four to five inches,
sunset's not bad to drive on because all those holes

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
For those desperate to find something positive about the winter weather,
there you have it. That's about it.

Speaker 6 (01:01:14):
I got a couple of quick things.

Speaker 15 (01:01:15):
You know, when people were questioning my buying of a
generator a couple of years ago. The other night my
power went out for two or for an hour, not
two hours, And it's awful nice to have a heat
system working when the power goes out for a full hour.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
Oh yeah, it was awful.

Speaker 15 (01:01:33):
Nice to be nice and warm and watching cable and
got he got it at two o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
Question, why were people criticizing you for getting a generator?

Speaker 7 (01:01:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
People not knock the price.

Speaker 15 (01:01:44):
That's That's the biggest thing that I got hit on
was the cost of People say, how much did you
pay for that?

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
When you're going to recoup the money out of that
and all this and that. That's that's what I catch. Well,
it's you know, there is value and peace of mind.
I've got one and I managed. You didn't go out
and get a home loan to get the generator installed.
You probably had available cash on hand. You made a
responsible cost benefit analysis decision and got yourself a generator.

Speaker 15 (01:02:10):
And I thought about them on the resale of the
house too, Oh yeah, decided to sell it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
I love the fact that I've got one. We've only
had to use it once and the powers out jeezu.
It was quite a few hours and it was awesome
well over.

Speaker 15 (01:02:24):
Here that it goes out a lot because people seem
to have a problem hitting poles, and when the poles
go down, you know, it takes a while.

Speaker 6 (01:02:32):
To get a new one to back up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
But yes, it is.

Speaker 15 (01:02:34):
My second subject is mcguffy has already had a short
conference the other day, and my problem with her is
what again should probably do today is that the residents,
and this is two wrongs don't make a right. I'm
on our car argue with Mississippi James, but the residence
of Indian Indian Hill Jeez.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Even down out here, even though no.

Speaker 15 (01:03:01):
No, no, Lincoln Heights Heights or an Evendale walking in
the street with loaded shotguns and these weren't you know,
eighty year old men. These were looked like they're anywhere
from fifteen to twenty year old use and they they
were in the street. They were definitely in the street.
They were filmed on several news stations. So if you're gonna,

(01:03:22):
if you're gonna go after it, and I'm not a
neo Nazi supporter, trust me. But if you're going to
go after the Neo Nazis for supposedly being in the street,
you better go after the residence up there, or we
got a real problem with that. Look looking a little
fishy white. You go after one group and not the other.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Well, I guess no, I understand they didn't go after
the Neo Nazis, didn't issue citations and they were you know,
open carry is legal in Ohio, right, and so if
the residents come out and they're open carrying as well,
but they're not break making any laws. And I think
that's the fundamental point of this question, the fundamental point here.

(01:04:04):
If there's someone breaking laws and someone wants people to
be cited, I think you've got to treat people equally.
If the Neo Nazis are breaking the law by walking
out in the street, then you cite them. If the
residents of Lincoln Heights or Evendell walking out in the
street blocking traffic with their shotguns, and then you got
to give them a citation.

Speaker 6 (01:04:20):
Ah, That's what my point was.

Speaker 15 (01:04:22):
And I'm not making generalization, but they were definitely in
the street with the shotguns, and so if the Neo
Nazis would look like on some of the film that
I saw were out there with their ar fifteens in
the street then, and cite them, but also cite the residents.
And they were looking for trouble. There's no reason why
they should have came down and walked around with a

(01:04:44):
shotgun except the show force. But they were also in
the street.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Well, I guess on some level. I mean, I'm trying
to appreciate that if I'm a resident of Lincoln Heights
and if I'm a minority member, and there are people
who who are advocating, you know, a philosophy that tells
me that I am an inferior race and I'm not
worthy of citizenship or something, then I might want to

(01:05:11):
show force in response. In other words, you know, I'm
here to defend my home, my my property, my body,
and I too have a right to open carry. So
you're messing with the wrong people in other words, But
when you cross the line and you violate the law,
you block traffic, you interfere with peoples going back and

(01:05:31):
forth within the community, then you know you've got to
take that into consideration and not engage in that type
of conduct.

Speaker 15 (01:05:38):
Just trink people equally there you are that's all.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):

thanks for calling the morning show. Good to hear from you.
Good morning.

Speaker 16 (01:09:07):
I am just beside myself. The news media runs out
to Evandale to cover both situations when it really happened,
and now yesterday Channel twelve's over there. What a drone,
Jill mean? The boycott that they're going to have on Evandale?
Do they think that Evendale doesn't want to have this

(01:09:31):
solved and find out exactly what happens? So we're to
boycott Evandale's business for what reason that?

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
Wait a minute, the Nazis if we believe they're Nazis,
and there, I know there's a lot of questions swirling
around that, but let's just give them their doing. Say
the Nazis pick Evandale to protest, and so there's a
group of organized people getting together to protest against Evandale.

Speaker 16 (01:09:59):
They from Locklan.

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
Okay, there must be Somethingnents.

Speaker 16 (01:10:05):
Were on the news yesterday Channel twelve, and it could
have been other stations, but you know, he's can only
watched one at a time, and they were highlighting how
they were going to bullycott Walmart, etc. They had a
caravan of cars running around Evandale, beeping their horns, blocking traffic,

(01:10:27):
et cetera.

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
Well, that sounds illogical and unreasonable to me unless there's
some fundamental, something fundamental behind the scenes that I'm not
aware of that Evendelle is somehow responsible or bears responsibility
because the Nazis decided to show up and use their
neighborhood as a protest site. Because even Dale, I would

(01:10:53):
imagine their officials have sworn an oath to the Ohio
State and Constitution the United States of America, which does
have a First Amendment which includes the right of idiots
doing idiot things because they're idiots to speak their mind
and other idiot philosophy. They can't stop that from happening.

Speaker 16 (01:11:10):
But and the thing is, they ran out there to
cover it originally, which draws more attention to it. If
they had never covered that, those Nazis as they called themselves,
would have come and gone. But now they see building
this story as if there's something there and it's a
what do they call that? When it's not important, a

(01:11:34):
salad or whatever they call it, a nothing burger.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
Yeah, well exactly what it is.

Speaker 16 (01:11:42):
But these people from Lachlin just don't understand they're not
benefiting meanbody. They're hurting themselves that they've boycotted the businesses
which had nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
To do with what is going on.

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
Well, I that part I agree with. And whether or
not the Evendelle and and Lincoln Heights have a problem
historically between each other, does hurt businesses if you choose
to boycott one side or the other, And why use
the businesses as a vehicle to boycott. I mean, if
you got a problem with the government and government action,

(01:12:15):
then you protest the elected officials there, and you show
up at council meetings and voice your concerns or vote
people out of office. But yeah, I agree, damaging business
is bad for everyone. And I imagine it may be
that some Lincoln Heights folks actually maybe work in the
walmart at Evendale. That is a conceivable thought, right, oh, William.

(01:12:38):
But I think ultimately behind all this, the focus on
this whole thing, I think is to keep stirring this
pot of racial division. And I am not aware of
or perceive he's Oh, well, Thomas, you just said it
different than everybody else. But you know, have you ever
run into a real Nazi in your life? You ever

(01:12:58):
run into a person who is that diet hard races
that they truly believe in the philosophy. It's not just Nazi.
I mean Nazism is, you know, the national socialism. And
there are a lot of socialists out there in the world,
a lot of people that believe in the imperial presidency
and the dictatorial nature of the Nazi regime, national socialism,

(01:13:23):
control of the means of economic production by government. Huh.
Which side of the political ledger is in favor of that?
Controlling the means of production, not owning it. That's communism,
but just controlling it, dictatorial from the top down. We're
not talking about that. We're talking in this particular case.

(01:13:44):
People wave in Nazi flex but espousing white supremacy. Do
you know anybody who feels that way? The answer is yes, Yeah,

By the way, It's been a while since I mentioned Laura,
and I hope uh, she and her s sig other
doing great. And I hope cam's doing great. Cams on
the phone cam. Thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 14 (01:16:56):
Good morning, Brian. Yesterday I was in the Eatingdale area.
I was driving an Edendale area and uh, people as
police that had one of the roads blocked off. I
made a turn and there was another roadblock, and as
I was waiting in traffic, a line of cars had
passed by. And as they were passing, I noticed certain

(01:17:17):
aspects about the cars that were driving. Uh, there was
the Antifa flags. There was actually a Communist flag with
the hammer and sickle. Uh, there was the other types
of flags that go with that that type of milk.
And I find it ironic that the same police department
they're wanting to investigate it's also providing this kind of
traffic control. So I'd just like to hear your comment

(01:17:38):
on it. Do you have a good day, sir?

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
All right, you too? And I guess I'm being short
on facts. Cam they were they were facilitating the anti
file folks or whoever you believe or perceived to be
antifile or communists and blocking the regular flow of traffic. Yeah,
I have a problem with that. If it was there's
a licensed, organized protest that they'll advise the council of

(01:18:04):
ahead of time, and they ask for special police, you know,
crowd control, then that would be an organized endeavor and
I would have less of a problem with it than
just some random dudes going through town if the police
are helping and facilitating them to get through and holding
up the citizenry from getting around and doing their business.

(01:18:25):
A lot of confusions swirling about all this, and I
hate to speculate which Early in the program, Mississippi James
called and we're both keeping our popcorn out waiting for
the facts to emerge, So I don't understand it. I
think everybody wants to assess, blame, and ultimately and fundamentally,
it seems to be mostly that these evil forces are

(01:18:46):
showing up and protesting and people don't like it. You
want to stop that from happening. If they are engaging
in what can be constituted as a crime, then issue
citations for the criminal behaviorate them. The community wants to
crack down on this because they can't stop free speed,

(01:19:07):
so U use a mechanism that is at least lawful.
And in the absence of a lawful legal mechanism, then
you're just going to have to put up with it
and maybe quit stirring the pot of division by reminding
people that the Nazis showed up and just ignore them
and their stupid message. Everyone else seems to do that
in our day to day lives throughout the year. I mean,

(01:19:29):
did anti file really help anybody out there in the world?
Was it a good thing that they camped out in
cities and shut down neighborhoods and drove businesses out of business?
Do is I any view that as a positive? What
did they actually accomplish other than to interrupt and bother people.
Did their message resonate? Apparently not? Donald Trump got re elected.

(01:19:50):
How about that? In the face of all this and
years of protest, donald Trump won by a significant amount.
So no, the message doesn't resonate. And really, quite frankly,
if I may be so bold, coming about seven o'clock,
it pisses people off. See that's the proper response the note,

(01:20:12):
the anger from the populace at these messages. It's not
a favorable, you know, side of the political equation to
be on. If you're in one of those groups, you
are the extreme minority. Six fifty six fifty five cars
of the talk station. Steve Gooden's gonna be on seven
thirty to talk about the Charter Committee seeking a full

(01:20:34):
repeal of connected communities Steve at seven thirty. The meantime,
we'll have more to talk about after the top of
the hour, news.

Speaker 19 (01:20:40):
A full rundown, and the biggest ten lines is minutes
away at the top of the hour. I'm giving you
a fact now the Americans should know fifty five krs
the talk station.

Speaker 5 (01:20:49):
This report is sponsored Will Trump is absolutely breathtaking.

Speaker 19 (01:20:53):
To Glenn Beck program, you cannot keep up so fast
keep up week days at nine on fifty five KRC,
the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
Seven oh six fifty five garcied he talks station, A
very happy Tuesday to you. Bottom they are the return
of our legal expert Steve Gooden from Porter right, putting
on his Charter Committee hat to discuss chart the Charter
Committee ask him for a full repeal of connected communities
rammed down the throats of every neighborhood in the City
of Cincinnati by a city council who didn't seek input

(01:21:39):
from the various communities within the city of Cincinnati. That'd
be great. Steve Goodins is just wonderful. Fast forward an
hour inside Scoop with Bright Barton News, the return of A. W. R. Hawkins,
the Second Amendment expert, talking about the preposterous reality that
the Mexican President has threatened lawsuits against gun manufacturers if
we label cartels as terrorists. I just keep thinking about

(01:22:04):
that as a subject matter topic. How would the Mexican
president be against us helping her deal with the Mexican cartels, unless,
of course she's connected with the Mexican cartels. Anyway, got
to the topics to talk about with A. W. R. Hawkins.
Daniel Davis deep dive on the efforts to settle the
war between Russia and Ukraine, and the United Kingdom now
ready to support a cease fire. You can feel free

(01:22:25):
to chime in by calling five P one three, seven,
four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to
three talk or go with pound five fifty on AT
and T phones. Of course, last hour I pointed out
that Doge which is the topic of everybody's conversation these
days on the left and right. Left angry about it,
of course, independent minded folks, people who think believe in
fiscal responsibility, people who don't want to go to work

(01:22:46):
to have their labor rated for the purposes of spending
ten million dollars for voluntary medical mail circum circumcisions in Mozambique,
one of like nine gajillion allocations we apparently have made.
People who are concerned about the deficit that we've racked
up and the interest payments we have on it, and
how existential a threat it is to our country's even existence.

(01:23:18):
This is one of those where do you start. Acting
head of the Social Security Administration quit her job over
the weekend, apparently upset about Elon Musk's Department of Government
Efficiency trying to access sensitive government records. I think it's
more about what they uncovered rather than their access to
the records. Maybe she'd wanted to access the records because

(01:23:39):
we find out we're paying Social Security checks to dead people.
Washington Post reported three people familiar with Michelle King's departure
said she's stepping down from her positions after this purported disagreement. No,
probably out of embarrassment for what they revealed. Leland Dudeck

(01:24:01):
was appointed by Trump to lead the agency until Frank
Busignano is vetted by lawmakers to take over the position formally.
So and du Deck, for his part, responded positively the
doge's efforts to seek out fraud and cut costs across
all the federal agencies. DOGE, I guess, did get access

(01:24:22):
to some of the Social Security Administration's information, and it's
frightening what they figured out. Musk went to his platform
x pointing out that millions of people listened on the
Social Security database are recorded as centenarians quote with the
death field set to false. And apparently what that means

(01:24:44):
is if it's set to false, then you don't shut
it off because well, someone's one hundred and fifty years old, says,
according to Social Security database are then there are the
numbers of people in each age bucket with the death
field set to false. Maybe twilight is real and there
are there are a lot of vampires collecting so to
security he's great at trolling. Bottom line, his post has

(01:25:06):
a chart containing the list, pointing out more than twenty
million listed with ages one hundred and higher, three point
nine million aged one hundred and thirty to one hundred
and thirty nine, more than three point five million aged

(01:25:28):
one hundred and forty to one hundred and forty nine,
and more than one point three million people one hundred
and fifty to one hundred and fifty nine, the count
of people aged one hundred and older on the SOCIA

(01:25:48):
Security database with that prompt false, says there are more
than eighty thousand people one hundred years and older. Average
death age in this country is like seventy eight. So

(01:26:09):
this is one of those regardless of which side of
the political LEDGI you're on, And I like to keep
going back to this because Republicans and Democrats, including people
in Antifa and people who are die hard communists and
socialists people who are Green Party members. Literally every human
being in this country is somehow connected to the Social
Security system. If they're employed, of course you get taxed
in your check. If you're paying into the social Security system,

(01:26:31):
many people are relying on it, or at least have
this perception they're going to be relying on that as
their sole means of income during retirement. And the Congressional
Budget Office has been screaming for decades now that the
system is wrecked and it's like a sinking ship. Gee,
I wonder why, and you're upset that. Elon Musk says

(01:26:52):
that the painful part out loud, and it's not even painful.
This is something can be easily corrected. Listen if you're
over and figure out just pick a random number, find
out who the oldest living person in America is. Let's
say they're one hundred and five, and just cut off
any payment to someone who's over one hundred and five
and see if they come knock and saying, where's my

(01:27:14):
Social Security check? I'm one hundred and fifteen years old
and I rely on this to live. Is that so
difficult a task? Is this not such an obvious area
for fraud? Waste? And abuse. I mean, this is the
and they and the left is screaming and angry about

(01:27:35):
Doughes having access to this information, where literally tens of
thousands of the folks just within the irs have access
to this information. Where in the hell was Michelle King
and stopping this thing from from well, this from happening.
Maybe that's why she quit her job, because she knew
the bad news was coming. Because Elon Musk cannot be stopped.

(01:27:58):
And I thought it rather comical. White House Press Secretary
Carolyn Levitt put together a montage video footage showing former
Democratic presidents plural calling for the exact same thing that
Doge is doing. Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden
all in the video. In the video, Obama and Biden

(01:28:21):
can be seen calling for budget reform and combating government
ways what Doge is doing. Quote Barack Obama, we can't
sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars that
have outlived their usefulness or exists solely for the power
of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups. I think it's funny
to use the word outlive given the fact that we're

(01:28:42):
just now talking about people who there's no way they
can still be alive and yet maybe be receiving a
Social Security check. Biden in the video when he was
Vice president of the Obama administration. Americans are, in his words,
entitled to accountability to make sure we're using the dollars
for what we said it was for. Did anyone sign

(01:29:03):
up for ten million dollars to go to circumcisions voluntary
in Mozambique? Obama in the following clip. In the video,
they have a montage of these like I mentioned, get
We're gonna go through our federal budget line by line,
eliminating these programs we don't need and ensuring that those
we do need operate in a sensible, cost effective way.

(01:29:27):
One of the problems that dog is uncovered. The money
is handed out, but no one follows up to see
if any of these programs, including the circumcisions in Mozambique,
were actually performed. Ah, just give them ten million dollars.
They say they're gonna do circumcisions for voluntary people who
stand in alone want to get a circumcision. Just go
ahead and give them money. Did that actually happen? You

(01:29:49):
don't know, and our elected officials don't know. There in
lies the challenge Obama wanted to get to the bottom
of it. Did it happen? Apparently. In another part of
the video, Obama discusses elimiting unnecessary spending, while Biden talks
about his and Obama's efforts to instill an entirely new
culture that every succeeding administration will hopefully follow, a culture

(01:30:12):
of eradicating fraud, wasted abuse in government. Well, finally we
got a president that's willing to make good of the
challenges on the promises of Bill Clinton, Brock Obama, and
Joe Biden. And they're pulling their hair out over it.
Deb you don't mind holding for a moment. I just
looked up at the clock. Sorry. I'll be right back, though,

(01:30:35):
and I'll be happy to take your call as soon
as I get back. And I want you to heed
my strong recommendation and get in touch with John Rowman
and the team at Cover Sinsey. It's amazing what they
can do. And I love citing my friend Jeff because
it automatically results in an email response from him with
three big smiley faces. Because he is a happy man
singing the praises of Cover Sinsey. Because he's got a

(01:30:57):
small business, and his insurance was really expensive. Employees s
griping about it because he did what most everybody else does.
They just call some or follow some random insurance company.
Har just work with me, have three choices and Hmoppo

He improved the rooman and the team of Cover since
he improved his business is bottom line independent of insurance.

(01:31:21):
But by working in a different way and viewing insurance differently,
on behalf of their client this particular case, it's Jeff,
he was able to save Jeff's business tens of thousands
of dollars and get his employees superior medical coverage that
his employees love. He went back to the well and
called up John about dental as well as vision coverage.
He was so happy. So get an email here in

is just a must for you. And if you're one
of those employers who doesn't have medical insurance for your
employees because you find it's not affordable, oh, it is
better coverage dollar one coverage for regular basic medical services
you get throughout the year, and for less money. Couples
like for example, get in touch with John, saving thirty

(01:32:04):
to sixty percent on their medical insurance with better covers.
That's because John and the team work with hundreds of

Charter Committee. Steve Gooden pushing for a full repeal of
connected communities. So we'll get Steve's analysis thoughtfully. It will
be coming up the next segment the meantime over the
phones go Deb was kind enough to hold over the break,
Deb Thanks for doing so, and welcome to the show.

Speaker 20 (01:34:04):
Good morning, Thanks so much for having me. You kind
of touched on it with the Mozambique story. But my
question is all these checks going to one hundred and
fifty year old medicare people where is that money really going?
Why aren't they going to the address it gets sent to.
Who's collecting that money, Who's what account is it get

(01:34:27):
deposited in?

Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
No one knows. Deb At this point, no one knows.
But that's the fundamental question that exists. And all those
questions you just asked are generated because they apparently are
still listed as alive on the Social Security database, which
is an impossibility. They can't be alive.

Speaker 20 (01:34:47):
Would I get a Social Security check?

Speaker 17 (01:34:49):
It automatically goes into my banking account, It has an address,
it has an IP and bank account, and well, why
isn't somebody looking at the oh then taking that money?

Speaker 1 (01:35:01):
Well you have to. I think it's safe to presume
that they are doing that now. I mean, the point
was Musk identified that it's happening, or that these people
are listed and their age block off has been blocked
in some way, shape or form on the Social Security
Administration's website. So I suspect that the team is now

(01:35:23):
looking into where the money is actually going. And I
think it's important to note whether money is actually going out.
I think merely because they're still listed as alive in
the Social Security database doesn't necessarily mean a check is
going out. I don't know, because I don't know how
the Social Security Administration works. But obviously, given the work
that they're doing, the follow up questions will be asked, like, huh,

(01:35:46):
let's see if we can trace this address. Let's see
who this alleged one hundred and fifty year old person is.
If it is reflected that they are receiving money from
the Social Security Administration, then we're going to go knock
on a few doors. You got to wait for that.
That's a long process. Given that he found twenty million
people over the age of one hundred, that's a lot
of work to do.

Speaker 20 (01:36:07):
Yeah, we'll see how expensive that house is they're living in.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
Interesting absolutely hell, who knows. Maybe they're going to Nancy
Pelosi's pocket. She's one hundred and fifty agency. Hey, I
had to go there. Thank you dev for the opportunity
to get me to go there. Have a wonderful day.
Appreciate you tuning into the morning show. Let us see

(01:36:33):
here I can give you one more US Department of
Education announced yesterday, it's terminating six hundred million in grants
for teacher training programs, including what one is called dismantling
racial bias and another one centering equity in the classroom.
While our children fail no longer capable of doing mathematics

(01:36:55):
or reading at any grade level and being issued a
collor a high school deploy after failing basic standardized testing
for years and years. This is where the money is going.
And apparently this is what our children being taught, taught
in lieu of reading and mathematics, in lieu of critical
thinking skills, which might cause some to reject some of

(01:37:17):
the theories that they're pushing down our children's throats. Cancel
grants went to institutions and let's read this word non
profits using the taxpayer funds too. In their words, trained
teachers and education agencies divisive ideologies. Some of the trading
materials were on far left topics like critical race theory,

(01:37:38):
d EI those words or letters again, social justice activism,
instructions on white privilege and white supremacy. See, you got
to feed it into the minds of young people. They
look around, and you know, I grew up in a
world and I perceived it to be racially diverse and

(01:38:02):
open and welcome to people. You know, sort of Martin
Luther King's content of character not color of skin kind
of thing. You didn't approach someone and immediately draw a
conclusion about who they are or what they're all about
merely based upon how they look. You met them and
interacted with them, and then decided whether they were a
jerk or not. But if you go to school and

(01:38:23):
they teach you that the world is lopsided against you,
they're all out to get you, then of course you're
going to look to the government for a solution. Fifty

It's real quick tile. But we had John Ryan of
Pressedese Interiors install that because we personally selected the color

(01:41:30):

Good and welcome back to the Morning show, my friend.
It's always a real pleasure having you on the show.
Good morning, sir. So you have your Charter Committee hat on.

Speaker 3 (01:41:46):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (01:41:47):
We're talking about some bad laws that the city has
passed recently here and I've been very honored to serve
as the chairman and convener of our one hundred year
old Charter Party, the third party here in Cincinnati, and
we've got some real issues with a major zoning reform

(01:42:07):
that the city just passed. And I put reform in
quotation marks.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
Yeah, I saw your at least I cognitively felt your
your quote sign with your fingers when you said that. Now,
this so called reform the Connected Communities zoning legislation. Remind
my listeners before we start talking about why the Charter
Committee wants to repeal it, but remind my listeners what
connected communities is.

Speaker 7 (01:42:29):
Well, it's uh, it is a kind of progressive fever
dream of zoning reform that will is really kind of
a war on single family homeowners. We've been calling it
disconnected communities. I know that's an easy kind of joke
to make, but you know you'll win. You win basketball
games with layups and we'll make the joke. So disconnected
communities is this sort of concept that the city came

(01:42:51):
up with that we need more density, which I think
everyone agrees with. I mean, I think that we need
more taxpayers, we need more people living in the city.
It's how you go about it that is the problem.
So we have these new rabid transit bus lines that
will be coming on through much of the city in
the coming year, running all the major corridors such as

(01:43:11):
up through Clifton Avenue, Hamilton Avenue, at the Reading Road corridor,
through almost the entire city, most of the West Side.
And the idea here is that there will be basically
no zoning requirements at all within four blocks of either
side of these gigantic bus lines, which will encompass most
of the city. No height requirements, no parking requirements, no garages,

(01:43:32):
no anything. And the idea is to encourage multifamily kind
of middle housing, lower end multi family construction.

Speaker 1 (01:43:41):
So the practical effect.

Speaker 7 (01:43:42):
Of this will be out of town developers, private equity
developers which are coming into the area in droves anyway,
buying up single family houses, knocking them down for profit,
and then putting in twelve to fourteen unit in apartment
complex is right in the family areas, so it would
in theory, I guess, increased density. The idea is, you

(01:44:05):
want these folks who to live in the apartments along
these bus lines.

Speaker 1 (01:44:09):
It's supposed to.

Speaker 7 (01:44:09):
Encourage people to ride the bus and so forth, but
it totally disrespects existing homeowners. It just disrespects the historic
character in the neighborhoods. There are no requirements whatsoever that
these new apartment complexes even fit in with the neighborhoods.
And what we're already seeing in a handful of neighborhoods,
like a lot of College Hill area, we're seeing we're

(01:44:30):
seeing a kind of pre connected communities. Version of this
happened in Hyde Park Square, where the neighbors are looking
at this and saying, you know, we moved here and
bought these houses and invested a significant amount of our
resources and savings into our homes. We're raising our families here,
and now you're building these modern things with no parking,
adding to congestion and totally changing the way our neighborhood

(01:44:52):
works and looks, and we don't want it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:54):
And you know, this is one of these.

Speaker 7 (01:44:56):
It was passed over the objection of almost every community
can council in the city. It kind of unites people
from Avondale to North Avondale to Price Hill to Clifton
to Hyde Park, Democrat, Republican, everybody in between. We're saying
we don't want this. The city council passed it over
everyone's objection, and we think it's going to be the
hottest political issue this fall going into the races. It's

(01:45:20):
a uniquely local issue. It's a local screw up. It's
something that cuts across all party lines, and it's a
great classic Charter third party issue for us because it
goes to transparency, consent of the governed, and just really
it's the idea of zoning is not a particularly sexy issue,
but let me tell you it is motivating people across

(01:45:41):
the city right now. It is horrible news. If you're
a homeowner.

Speaker 1 (01:45:45):
Well, I have several questions for you. We're coming up
against the break here, so I'm going to pause and
I will bring you back to ask those questions and
talk a little bit more about this and whether or
not there might be ah, I don't know legal challenges
to the whole thing seven thirty five right now, Steve Gooden,
first word for and no, it won't get rid of
the stench of politics brought about by that Connected Communities program,

(01:46:06):
but it will get rid of the odors that you're
dealing with in your world. Smoke, mold, mildew, human oders,
pet oders, food oders, whatever. The odor odor exit has
a product product to eliminate it, natural products, that's several
of them. You literally can rub the odor exit concentrate

telling you sometimes he rolls around his stuff in the

to know what it is, but it's impossible to get
rid of. But odo exit comes out. The smell is gone,
all natural ingredients. It just works great. It is a
locally owned and operated company. They make these products right
here in the city of Cincinnati, and congratulations on twenty

Speaker 1 (01:48:14):
Fifty five krc DE talk Station, A very happy Tuesday
to you. Love talking with Steve Gooden about matters legal
and of course, in this particular case, UH the City
of Cincinnati ramming this connected community zoning legislation down the
throats of every community in the City of Cincinnati for
denser housing, no parking, but on a bus line. And
that's the first question, Steve. You predicated this whole rezoning

(01:48:35):
of all the communities on the idea, it's going to
have this particular bus route going through it, so the
folks in these dense housing projects will have ability to
take that bus because it is on the bus route.
Now is that to suggest, all right, I'm curious to
know if down the road they expand these bus routes,

(01:48:57):
would that then expand the connected commun Unities program.

Speaker 7 (01:49:02):
Well, absolutely, it could happen that way. And I mean,
you know, the bus lines are being expanded, you know,
as they are. I mean the current plan is to
add these sort of rapid transit buses, these bigger buses,
the so called articulated ones that are kind of double
buses and have the sort of rubberized thing in the middle.
So I mean they're already expanding, and that's part of

(01:49:23):
the idea here. But I think that's also one of
the great failings of this concept, which it just assumes
that people who are going to move into these houses
are going to ride the bus forever. I mean, we
know from other cities that have tried similar schemes out
of the Northwest that people are aspirational, they want they

(01:49:44):
want cars. I mean, cars are accessed so much more
economic opportunities for people. They allow you to look at
different kinds of jobs, and people aren't going to stop
wanting cars. So even if you're in a part of
your life where you're going to want to live in
one of these again market rate but lower end sort
of houses, our apartment buildings and live near a bus

(01:50:04):
line of riding the bus, you might you're going to
want to car some day, You're going to want to
grow into that. It kind of takes away the whole
economic mode of people have of working.

Speaker 1 (01:50:13):
Well, now does market forces are going to work? Steve
Gooden and you know, at least up until very very recently,
the price of real estate has been going through the
roof for a variety of reasons. But Hyde Park, let's
use that as an illustration, because they're kind of waging
a nimby sort of challenge of this coming to Hyde
Park is allegedly tear down some historic homes in order

(01:50:33):
to build these dense housing. But if you're going to
be able to live in hyde Park Square, that doesn't
necessarily that doesn't mean that the place that they're building
isn't going to be really comparatively outrageously expensive.

Speaker 3 (01:50:46):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 7 (01:50:47):
I mean it's a market intervention that is just not
well thought out. And look, I mean the big pushback
that we're getting, you know, from city hall, it is like, yeah,
this is an mbyism. I've been told it's classism, racism. Uh,
even though you know, so there's this assumption, I guess
that people of color will be buying these, and I
think that's a false assumption. But our coalition that are opposed,

(01:51:10):
that is opposing this thing is very diverse neighbor because
all over the city people weighing in from you know,
a black, white otherwise. And if you're a black person
for instance, who has actually you know, done what everyone's
been telling you for generations to build generational wealth and
actually invest in a home and save up the money
and get a down payment and buy a house. This
is particularly bad news because you know, you you now

(01:51:33):
are having these things that are going to affect your
property values, these apartment buildings built right next to you
in your single family area. But no, you're absolutely right.
There's no guarantee that they won't be priced up like crazy.
And some of these kind of higher end neighborhoods, I mean,
there is a is an attempted market intervention that is

(01:51:54):
just going to empower lower end development that may not
end up staying low end.

Speaker 1 (01:51:58):
Uh, we don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:52:00):
And it just assumes that nobody will ever aspire to
anything different or better, that they'll be happy to come
into these small apartment complexes with no cars and ride
the bus forever. I mean, that's not how human being exact,
not in a capitalistic society such as ours.

Speaker 1 (01:52:16):
Well, and I mean I obviously agree with that point.
If you own a home and they're going to build
a multi unit facility right next to it, your property
is going to deteriorate in value, especially if it doesn't
have any parking there. So there's that component. But this
whole idea, if you build it, they will come, is
that even a safe assumption. I mean, are you going
to move into the city of Cincinnati, for example, you

(01:52:36):
are going to be paying a high tax. That's I mean,
that's one of the reasons people move out of the
city of Cincinnati. You got that city tax, which funds
a general fund, and you don't have to pay that
if you live in other communities sometimes. I so I
wouldn't think that it's necessarily going to be a draw
for the city of Cincinnati just because there's more available housing.

(01:52:56):
And then the second point on that is how much
are they really thinking is going to be built, how
much additional population will they be bringing, How many units
do they think are actually going to be completed. Well,
they don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:53:10):
And I'll tell you the one thing that they do know,
and that does bother that bothers us at Charter and
bothers me particularly, is that we do know that this area,
because it is there is sort of there is a
legit housing crunch. I think in the cities Cincinnati that's
real in part from the reasons you've mentioned. You know,
their downtown's doing great, over the Rhinees doing great. The
rest of our neighborhoods, you know, are struggling on the

(01:53:32):
services aspect. So it's high tax, is poor services. I'm
sitting here looking at snow out my window here at
nan Clifton right now, and the slowly moving traffic. I
mean that these are all the traditional reasons that it's
hard to bring people into the city sometimes. But all
that being said that we do know that this is
a hot market for private equity, out of town folks

(01:53:53):
looking to do multifamilies and this truly empowers them. And
we know that out of town landlords tend to be
bad landlords. They tend not to take care of their property.
And that's exactly what we're concerned about, is a bunch
of private equity folks coming in buying up some single
family housing, getting heavily into this market. They don't perform,
they pull out, and then we have co enforcement issues

(01:54:14):
empty properties. Or the flip side is you're going to
have people rushing into certain neighborhoods where they're built thinking
they're getting a bargain and really ending up with a
kind of lousy product and not being happy with it,
or if.

Speaker 1 (01:54:26):
They bid up.

Speaker 7 (01:54:27):
I mean, either way, it's a market intervention that is
extremely ill conceived. No one knows what's going to happen
other than what we've seen in other cities, which is
private equity coming in on the cheap and picking up
properties this way. We have so many other ways we
can improve density, including doing what Columbus has done, which
is leverage its public utilities to annex nearby communities.

Speaker 1 (01:54:48):
We could do.

Speaker 7 (01:54:48):
We could also address the many the thousands of vacant
homes that are still hanging around at different parts of
the city thanks to the housing bubble from two thousand
and eight two thousand and nine, we could actually go
after those out of town banks that own those properties
and try to return those to productivites. There are so
many other things we could do rather than screw around

(01:55:10):
with our main historic neighborhoods. The great thing about the
cities we have these historic neighborhoods at Hyde Park, Clifton,
Price Ll East Price Hill. They have a distinct character
and that's what drives people there, and messing with that
seems like the last thing you'd want to do well.

Speaker 1 (01:55:24):
And also, I mean, let's just face it, Steve, it
seems to me if they paid closer attention to maintaining
the roads and infrastructure, the communities might be more desirable
for folks to want to invest in. I mean, I mean,
there's so many roads in the city that are just
it's like from Goz I mentioned all the time in
the context, like Sunset my favorite road to pick on,

(01:55:44):
but that's been a mess for years and years and years.
But if you improve, it's like fixing the broken windows.
Crime goes down in neighborhoods that look like they're being
cared for and there are many neighborhoods that have been
completely overlooked and neglected for years.

Speaker 7 (01:56:00):
Absolutely right. I mean, look, we've got there's a basic
services problem, there's a crime component problem here, you know,
and there's also an economic development problem. I mean, you know,
the city really has got has got to get if
they want to grow, they've got to get back into
the business and trying to lure jobs here, manufacturing jobs.
There's still plenty of commercial land to develop within the

(01:56:21):
City of Cincinnati. And rather than putting the energy here
into like screwing around with these kind of you know,
attempt at interventions in the housing market, really to encourage
public transit. All the millions of dollars and thousands of
dollars of staff time that have been spent like screwing
around with this scheme, I got if that had been
put into some sort of economic real economic development activity

(01:56:43):
to try to develop some of the areas, particularly along
with Paddock Row Corridor in the city, and actually get
some jobs for people, entry level jobs, and to try
to bring some manufacturing back in the city, then we'd
have something. I mean, then you'd have some density. Uh,
but that doesn't seem to be where anybody's attention as
d Well, it's it's overthought, it's this bad policy, and

(01:57:04):
the neighborhoods just don't want it. It's a total failure
of civic engagement. People were saying across the city, please
don't do this, and they and they did it anyway.
It became sort of like a progressive litmus test at
city hall.

Speaker 1 (01:57:15):
Well, since you're an excellent litigation attorney, Porterwright dot com say,
read Steve, any potential for litigation to try to stop this.

Speaker 7 (01:57:25):
You know at this point likely not. I mean we've
looked at that, frankly. I mean, there are folks who
were looking at an initiative, a petition drive to put
it on the ballot this fall, and I don't know
that that's going to happen. There is there are some
thoughts that people, you know, particularly once this begins in earnest,
that it could trigger a property rights bace challenge. Say

(01:57:46):
basically like, hey, look, I own my house, particularly I
own my house outright, and you guys are affecting the
value here of it. But it's really really hard to
sue cities from property loss. I mean you have to
show of bad faith and arbitrary capricious acts. So it's
a difficult thing to do, but we think what really
what the practical effect of this is. It's going to

(01:58:07):
be a very very hot political issue, this wall, and
I think you're going to see quite a few candidates
coming out trying to repeal it. What's interesting to me
is that the city, or at least some of the
council members that held a town hall over the weekend
and they're turning to they know they've got a problem.
The sponsor of this, you know, Reggie Harris left his
council seat and went to d C ironically to work

(01:58:28):
on housing policy and the Biden administration, so you know
he's no longer going to have to face the political
consequences of this. And we know some of the other
council members are trying to amend the thing that you know,
our group is basically saying, look, it's got to.

Speaker 3 (01:58:43):
Be repealed outright, we need to start all over.

Speaker 7 (01:58:45):
We needed a totally different discussion and a more realistic
discussion about what we need to do to grow the city,
rather than this sort of scheme to kind of infill
it with the lower end Department of Buildings.

Speaker 3 (01:58:58):
With no parking.

Speaker 7 (01:59:00):
I think just the neighborhoods do not want.

Speaker 1 (01:59:02):
Steve Gooden, I cannot thank you enough for explaining this
in great detail and easily understandable words for my listening
audience and me. You're good man, Steve, and I appreciate
the time that you offer to my listeners in the
morning show. We'll have you on again real soon.

Speaker 7 (01:59:16):

you don't get an enhancement eight hundred dollars. With an enhancement.

(01:59:40):
Echo cardiograms at the hospital and other facilities, they schedule
weeks and maybe even months out. They can take you

chance on waiting for a long time. They have the
flexibility to get you in asap MRIs thirty five hundred
dollars at a hospital. No, how about four hundred and
ninety five dollars at affordable imaging services. Whether it's a
ct SCAM, ultrasound, lung screen, or cardiac scoring, it's always

(02:00:03):
going to be a hell of a lot less money
to affordable imaging services. Now, don't expect high overhead. It's
very low overhead, which allows them to pass along that

Speaker 1 (02:00:48):
Eight oh five fifty five Krcdtalk Station, Happy Tuesday always
made happier because today, at this moment in time, it's
a time we get the inside scoop from bright bart News,
which I always start out by encouraging my listeners to
book mark the site and check it out what they've
got there. Breitbart br e I t BA RT dot com,
where you can read Second Amendment musings of my guests today.
Welcome back, man aw R. Hawkins. It's always great having

(02:01:11):
you on the show, my gun toting buddy, so great
to be with you. And what is this? I'm sorry,
I'm going to call it out loud batcrap insanity. We
want to get rid of the cartels, the Mexican drug cartels.
They're dangerous. They murder people all the time, they kill politicians,
they kill mayors, They traffic in human beings and drugs
and everything else. So the Mexican president is threatening more

(02:01:34):
lawsuits against US gun manufacturers if we designate them as
terror groups. What in the hell kind of sense does
this make? I know it doesn't albr but what's your
take on this insanity?

Speaker 13 (02:01:46):
Well, I'll be honest. I talked to a friend of
mine from a former three letter agency. That's all I'll say.
And I said, you know, what is the Mexican president's
take on this? To take this position, He said, she
has no other option. He said, she's probably scared that
her life's in danger.

Speaker 1 (02:02:06):
Just say that, puppy, and that.

Speaker 13 (02:02:11):
Makes it make sense. Even though it's still crazy, I
agree with every word you said. It's still crazy, but
I think I think it's a situation. We actually saw
it in Iraq. If you think about it, there were
people who were scared to death that under George W.
Bush when we went in Iraq, we were going to
do the same thing we did under H. W. We

(02:02:31):
were going to get in there and get close and
then leaves the Domond Pyre and he was going to
get recribution on everybody. And I think we're in that
very same situation where they're nervous there's gonna be all
this talk about the cartel and then no one's really
gonna get rid of them. But see, they don't know
Donald Trump. He really has a plan to get rid
of them. So it's going to be amazing what we

(02:02:51):
see over the next couple of months or year. It's
gonna be amazing what we see down there.

Speaker 1 (02:02:57):
Well, I'm hoping that they can make some rods because
if and I suspect you're right, your friend, and what
I'm gonna guess is the CIA is probably right that
her life is in jeopardy if she doesn't do something
to try to stop this designation, because the cartels then
know something really might happen to them. And I get

(02:03:18):
that position, because you know a week doesn't go by
where thus drug cartels don't knock off some local politician
rallying for reform and put in trying to put a
stop to them. It's almost like signing a death warrant
you when you utter something against the cartels. There. I
would think every politician, every individual, including the president on down,
would welcome us helping them out with this tragedy that's

(02:03:39):
befall in their country, right Yeah.

Speaker 13 (02:03:42):
And I think it goes back to like I was
saying about the Iraq situation. We've had myriad presidents that
were given lip service to helping do this and helping
do that.

Speaker 1 (02:03:53):
And I think Trump is that rare He is that
rare breed.

Speaker 13 (02:03:55):
I don't think he is. You mean, if you look
at him, is the left up the nots right now?
They're up in knots because he's doing literally every single
thing he said he would do, and that's a rare
breed in the political sector. And so if we do
sense special forces in there or other units in there

(02:04:15):
to take care of the carteil, I believe are people
outside of our country even are going to look at
Trump in a different light and be like this guy
right here, he's.

Speaker 1 (02:04:25):
Good, he's a man of his word. Well, there is
no question about that, and we're just talking about political engagement.
I think it's probably going to result this what's going on,
like most notably with Doge identifying all the insanity of
where our money is going out into the world and
these ridiculous programs that's funding. It's going to create more
people interested in accountability in government, and I think that's

(02:04:49):
a beautiful thing. But he is delivering on a promise
that even Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden all
independently made talking about trying to ferret out fraud, waste,
and abuse. At least he's delivering on that. And when
these kind of thing is identify, we find out we're
spending ten million dollars to give I don't know, Guatemalan
circumcisions like wait, a second. I'm going to work for this.
It causes outrage right as as it should.

Speaker 13 (02:05:11):
And I believe I think I tweeted about it yesterday
or put it on X but what were realizing? And
you already knew it, Brian, and your listeners knew it,
but some folks hadn't figured it out yet now they are.
What we have is a situation where for decades, not
for days or months, but for decades, Democrats have surrounded

(02:05:31):
themselves by layer upon layer of bureaucrats, and those bureaucrats
they blocked the view and so no one can see
how that money's being spent, how it's being laundered, how
all of these things are being misappropriated. And so what
Eli's doing is he's come in there and he's he's
cutting those beercrats out of the way. And all of

(02:05:52):
a sudden, as you say, in million dollars here, six
million dollars on sushi.

Speaker 1 (02:05:57):
There all of this money, and I'm thinking, wow, I.

Speaker 13 (02:06:00):
Had to take an extension on my taxes last year
just so I could get it close enough that I
could handle the pay it. That's how the working man
is thinking, and the reason a working man is in
that situation is because the Democrats have been blowing his
money on their trips and on their appropriations misappropriations to
keep their friends groups happy and everything else every leftist theory.

Speaker 1 (02:06:24):
And idea in the world.

Speaker 13 (02:06:25):
They've been blowing American taxpayer dollars on it to keep
their fringe groups happy and elon shining a light on it.

Speaker 1 (02:06:32):
Amen to that, and then I think the sort of
the elephant in the room on all of that is, Okay,
you spend forty seven million dollars for improving and I'm
quoting this improving learning outcomes in Asia. Thank you for
bright Bart's Olivia Rhondai reporting. Are they even checking into
whether that money went to what it was going for
and whether improving learning outcomes actually was achieved in Asia? No,

(02:06:54):
they don't. They just issue the check. AWR. Hawkins. Let's
get back it. Let's get back to the Second Amendment.

Speaker 13 (02:07:02):
I mean, I'm just telling you I said here, I'm dazed.

Speaker 1 (02:07:05):
I'm amazed. I'm dazed and amazed when we talk about
this because people are so mad at Trump.

Speaker 3 (02:07:12):
You're not, I'm not.

Speaker 13 (02:07:13):
Your listeners are not. The people that voted for Trump
are not. And a lot of people who act like
they're mad, are not really mad. But all he's doing
when you think about it, Brian, he came in here.
He's doing what he would have done for any of
his construction businesses. He's saying, Okay, we're going to do
a financial audit. Let's see how we spent money over
the last decade, and let's do inventory. Yeah, let's see

(02:07:35):
if we got what we spent money on.

Speaker 1 (02:07:36):
That's all.

Speaker 13 (02:07:37):
He's not nothing fancier than that. But that has not
been done for probably half a century or more. And
the Democrats are getting exposed.

Speaker 1 (02:07:48):
Yes they are, and they it's indefensible that they are
trying to defend It is almost comical. I feel embarrassed
for them on a certain level. But that's okay. It's
work and it's bearing fruit, all right. Kicking over to
the GOP representative introducing a bill to bar credit cards
from tracking gun sales. You know, aw Or, this is

(02:08:08):
one of the reasons why I try to avoid using
credit cards at all, because listen, if I can prevent anyone,
any entity out there in the world from tracking what
I'm doing, I'm gonna take a step to do it.
Not that I'm really trying to hide it. It's just
that I find it fun to deprive them of information.
But the idea that our credit cards would be used
to track gun sales, and you and I both know

(02:08:29):
exactly why they might want to do that. Do you
think this is gonna uh, this is gonna make it through? Well,
I think all of this has a great chance of
making it through.

Speaker 13 (02:08:39):
When I say all of it, what I mean is
I see more pro gun legislation right now than I
have at any point in my sixteen years riding at
Bridbart And you know, as you know, I track this
stuff all day over today I wake up sometimes two
in the morning and start working it too to be
sure haven't missed anything. And I've never seen this much
progum legis And every bit of it has a chance

(02:09:02):
because we have firebrands in the House, the Republicans in
the House are ready to go. We have we have
people like the new Montana senator, We have people in
the Senate who are ready to go. Of course, Trump
is on board, and so I believe this all has
a chance. But we have to do everything we can

(02:09:24):
to keep the government from tracking and and you said, well,
I'm not trying to hide anything I'm not countering you
when I say this, I'm not counting you, but maybe
I am. And I don't mean I'm hiding illegal action.
I just mean it's none of their business, right, it's
none of their business. Do I own one ar or
do I own fifty?

Speaker 1 (02:09:43):
Guess what?

Speaker 13 (02:09:44):
It's none of their business. Am I more dangerous if
I own fifty?

Speaker 17 (02:09:48):
No?

Speaker 13 (02:09:48):
Because I'm a law abidy cid and you got hands
none of their business, you'll have two hands.

Speaker 1 (02:09:55):
No, I'm with you all day long. Listen my most
recent fire and acquisition, Happy Merry Christmas to me. My
wife was hounding me about what I wanted for Christmas,
and we're like, we don't need anything. We buy whatever
we need throughout the year. So the third time she
asked me, I said, I want a Marlin lever Action
forty five seventy And she's like, what, guess what? I
bought myself and paid cash with Marlin forty five seventy. Yes,

(02:10:18):
I'll poke my eye out at my kids. Got me
a compass for the compass for the stock. Can I
tell you something? Yeah, real quick? You and I have
never spoken about this, never, not all fair, not on there.
My favorite round of all time, hands down period. Oh
that's awesome. Oh that's amazing. I'm glad I lever Action you.

(02:10:40):
If you can't kill it with that, I know you're
the worst shot that ever lived, ever live. That is
so true. And a Marlin, and now, Marlin's a great gun.

Speaker 13 (02:10:51):
I shoot a lot of Henry's, but I'm gonna tell
you the accuracy of a Marlin is incredible. And uh,
I fell in love with that Marlin watching the movie
wind River. I don't know if you remember that from
about five years ago. Took place in Montana, and the
guy who was the good guy chasing the bad guys.
Instead of having an ar or whatever like it's so
popular movies, he had a lever Action Marlin and it

(02:11:14):
was gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (02:11:15):
It's a hell of a gun. I got the one
with a Magpool furniture on it, so it's it's a
it's a real uh, it's a real sweet gun. And uh,
my first time out of the range. I did a
really really good group on it too. I actually shocked myself.
It's got the ghost ring ghost ring site. So anyhow, sorry,
I I'm glad I brought it up just to know
that you and I see eye to eye on that route,

(02:11:35):
because it's a hell of a round. Anyway, I used
to live in Illinois and I see a circuit court
judge there struck down that stupid fo I D Card
that you had to have before you could own a firearm.
When we lived in Chicago, I didn't even realize that
was on the books. And I went to a store
to buy a shotgun and she looked at me like
I was out of my mind, Like you think you're
just gonna walk out of here with a shotgun today?

(02:11:56):
Do you have your FOI D Card to start the process?
It was like, what the hell's that? Well, they're getting
rid of it. Well, what he's doing.

Speaker 13 (02:12:03):
He blocked it only as it applies to having a
gun in the home. And so what he's saying this
individual had a gun in the home and police were
called because they allegedly fired a shot. Now they said
they didn't fire shot, but that's not what matters. What
matters is the gun was discovered in the home. The
individual said they had to go for the gun in

(02:12:24):
self defense. And anyway, so the judge says, look if
you look at the Heller ruling, and that's two thousand
and eight US Supreme Court. The Heller ruling makes clear
that that the Second Amendment covers having a gun in
the home.

Speaker 1 (02:12:37):
For self defense.

Speaker 13 (02:12:38):
So look, you can't put a requirement between the individual
American and having that gun and the foid card.

Speaker 1 (02:12:45):
The judged you that as a requirement. So he said no.

Speaker 13 (02:12:47):
I said, no, go, you can't do that. And so
it's only a matter of Tom Brian if that judgment stands,
and I'm sure Illinois will appeal at Illinois is a
bunch of leftist hacks. But if that ruly stands, it's
only a matter of time till that same mentality goes.

Speaker 1 (02:13:04):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (02:13:05):
Heller said this in two thousand and eight, Bruin said
this in twenty twenty two, and the whole Foyd card
deal will be gone, period.

Speaker 1 (02:13:13):
So we're going in the right direction.

Speaker 7 (02:13:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:13:16):
It's just so sad that, you know, a weapon for
home defense, that they actually went after her and prosecuted
her for not having a stupid Floyd card. I mean,
that's that's so sad. She had a lawyer up spent
four hundred dollars plus an hour on a lawyer to
defend her in this case on something that was so
obviously unconstitutional. After that decision, I don't know. I just

(02:13:38):
I weep for someone who had to be putting that
in that position.

Speaker 13 (02:13:41):
Well, it's like the mother I covered this week who
shot at three armed intruders with a baby on her hip.
She had to shoot, and she was able to ruin
one of them, but they hit her twice. She got
her five month old baby on her hip the whole time,
And when after my bridebarts before we went up, I
grabbed it and retweeted it, and I made the comment,

(02:14:03):
it's the same thing you're saying right now. If the
Left had had their way, that mother with that baby,
her only line of defense would have been calling police
that if they had had their way, that'd be it.
And we both know how it would have ended if
that was her only line of defense. I have to
tell you and use these people on the left. Fortunately
their size and power has greatly diminished, but they're still dumb,

(02:14:29):
they're still they're still.

Speaker 1 (02:14:30):
Rabid, and uh, we have to keep rolling.

Speaker 13 (02:14:34):
We haven't beat them enough yet, and uh, as long
as they're making noise, we haven't beat them enough.

Speaker 1 (02:14:38):
So we need to keep winning elections. Well, aw R,
since I knew you were coming to the program this morning.
I saw your article from yesterday. Uh, juvenile retrieves handgun
shoots two alleged armed intruders dead. These idiots broke into
the kid's house, so you grabbed one of the firearms there,
and uh, they will successfully shot both of them. I
thought that was pretty amazing. But you know what, that's

(02:14:59):
why you have have a firearm. It's the great equalizer.
You can be a small child and if you know
how to use one, you can defend yourself and your
family from a fifty one year old and a forty
four year old who kicked in the front door of
your home with the intent of robbing your home. Right.

Speaker 13 (02:15:15):
And that's also why I'm just gonna put it on.
If you're a gun only parent, you take your kids
out and you teach them. You show them how that
gun works. Break it down. Let's break it down. Now,
put it back together. Now, let's break it down. Let's
clean it. Now, put it back together. Now, let's shoot it.
Let's load it, let's shoot it. You do all those rudimentary,
mundane things over and over again, and that way you're

(02:15:39):
at the grocery and your daughter is home alone and
two guys break in. Guess who's at a disadvantage the
two guys.

Speaker 7 (02:15:46):
You know it.

Speaker 1 (02:15:46):
That's how it'supposed to work, you know it, and pretty
much on par with the way I raise my children.
Hey W. R. Hawkins, my dear Fred and fellow forty
five seventy enthusiasts. Love having you on the show. Keep
up the great work. I'll look forward to someday getting
on the range with you, my friend, and in the meantime,
just happy enough to have you on the program. Keep

(02:16:09):
be with you. Have a great day. You do the same.

Speaker 19 (02:17:11):
KRC the talk station, Hey, are you feeling the impact
of the A twenty nine Happy Tuesday?

Speaker 1 (02:17:18):
If if you have KRCD talk station, it is that
time of week we do a deep dive with Daniel Davis.
Find them online where your podcasts are found, The Daniel
Davis Deep Dive Retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. It's always
great having you on my program sir, and it's always
great to be here all right. So uh, Europeans. Finally,
stepping up and maybe wanting to engage in the process

(02:17:39):
involving the war between Russia and Ukraine. I get this
sense that up to this point they sort of kind
of been sitting on the sidelines. I know, we have
been the dominant resource for Ukrainian military in terms of
aid UH and you, as I have gone over this
many times before, it doesn't seem like it's really stopping
Russian incursion, and the Ukrainians scene to be losing the battle.

(02:18:01):
So now that Trump's working directly with Vladimir Putin trying
to negotiate some sort of peace resolution, the European Union
is now stepping up to the plate in some ways.
What's the story, backstory or otherwise on this one, Daniel Davis, Well,
you know, I think it's not so.

Speaker 21 (02:18:15):
Much that they're stepping up, is that they have been
very content to let the Body administration in the United States,
through the Biden administration, take all of the lead, because
then Biden and the European Union were all in lockstep.
Everybody agreed that Russia has to lose, that Ukraine has
to win, and we're going to just give them all
of our stuff, at least in dribs and drabs just

(02:18:36):
to perpetuate the war, to keep it going, because anything
to keep Russia from winning. Now in here comes Donald Trump,
and suddenly the United States is taking about a forty
five degree angle course change, and the rest of Europe
is still on the previous course, and they don't like
it very much at all, and they want to try
to pull Trump back onto it. So in one hand,

(02:18:57):
they're they're taking the lead only because they're trying to
go back to where they were before.

Speaker 1 (02:19:01):
They don't want to change.

Speaker 21 (02:19:03):
So you have really some strange comments coming out of
uk where you have Kiir Starmer, the Prime Minister, saying
that they want to put troops into Ukraine as part
of any kind of a deal, that they want to
keep this thing going. You have the the Polish Foreign minister.
It's just we cannot stop this war. We have to
keep going, et cetera. Meanwhile, you have, and this is

(02:19:25):
out just hours ago, you have senior Trump and Putin
officials meeting in in Ryod. Right now in Saudi Arabia,
you have the you're the Lavrov and some other key
Russian leaders are saying the same thing. Trump is saying
that this has to be negotiated between Donald Trump and
Vladimir Putin. Everybody else can figure out what's going to

(02:19:45):
happen later. And they specified that the UK and EU
they specified them by name, cannot be part of this
because they are wholly bent on preparing for war with Russia.
Zelensky can't be a part of it because he won't
acknowledge reality. Only the US and Russia. And so that's
making Ukraine, European Union and others unhappy.

Speaker 1 (02:20:04):
But so far Russia and US seem to be driving
the train. Okay, let me just pose a question here,
I mean my entire life, Daniel, as I've been watching,
you know, conflicts around the world, peace in the Middle East,
and how long you've been here for that? Peace in
the Middle East? Every new administration since my birth has

(02:20:25):
engaged in peace in the Middle East. Now, why is
it always the United States' responsibility to endeavor to negotiate
peace in war torn areas? Okay, So, with that sort
of background thought in mind, what would happen if we
just said, you know what, we're gonna wash our hands
of this European Union. You think you got it right,

(02:20:45):
knock yourselves out. Well, we seem to be moving in
that direction.

Speaker 21 (02:20:51):
And in fact, you had at this Munich security conference
last week, you had Zelenski himself was point blank ask
can the you continue to fight without the support from
the United States? What would happen if you lost it?
And he said, we'd lose the war. We couldn't fight
without it, we couldn't continue on without it. So that
tells you right there that there is the cognition on

(02:21:11):
the Ukraine side that hey, without the United States.

Speaker 3 (02:21:15):
This is not going to work.

Speaker 21 (02:21:16):
You had Keir Starmer last not tell it, go on
a national television between in his country and say that
the European Union is ready to step up with troops
for to you know, support it seasfire and all this
kind of stuff, but it can't work no security guarantees
without the United States.

Speaker 1 (02:21:32):
It is essential that the US.

Speaker 21 (02:21:33):
So it's not even US trying to impose ourself on
people now, it's Trump trying to extricate ourselves. And I
guess because of all of the decades you're talking about
where that's been the case, they don't want to be
able to go it alone. But here's the thing that
none of these people in the European Union anyway seem
willing to acknowledge that they're not. The Ukraine side and
European Union don't have the capacity for Ukraine to do

(02:21:56):
anything except lose more slowly.

Speaker 1 (02:21:59):
Right, Okay, I was just gonna say that. I mean,
this is shining a light on the lack of preparedness
among all the European Union countries are NATO allies. I
saw a figure the other day. Germany only has what
one hundred and fifty thousand people in its military or
something crazy like that. Yeah, and they have no military
hardware equipment anymore. They can't not only can they, I guess,

(02:22:20):
not afford to give away supplies, but even if they
embrace the concept of trying to support a militarily, they've
got nothing to draw from. Yeah, and UK is not
much different.

Speaker 21 (02:22:33):
I think it's one hundred and eighty six thousand, if
I'm not mistaken, the entire active armed forces, that's not
just the fighters. I think that there you might can
get two combat divisions out of the entire UK military.

Speaker 1 (02:22:43):
Two divisions.

Speaker 21 (02:22:44):
That's a drop in the bucket when you're talking about
a European wide war and they're talking about possibly ten
to twenty five thousand UK soldiers to be patrolling this
mythical seasfire line, which I don't think Russia will ever
agree to, so I think that's a dead on arrival
conversation anyway. But he's talking about signific shifting a significant

(02:23:06):
portion of his combat forces to just be standing in
the middle between two fighting forces.

Speaker 1 (02:23:11):
Which is just really strange to me. Well, I was
thinking about our prior conversations and this veiled threat that
oh my god, if Russia, you know, ends up winning
and taking over Ukraine, it's somehow some existential threat to
our NATO allies of the European Union. And you and
I have talked about this before and said there's no
way Russia can wage that kind of war. But with

(02:23:33):
the backdrop of these very paltry, underfunded and small supplied
military forces, I don't know, maybe maybe it is a legitimate.

Speaker 21 (02:23:43):
You think two things are important right now, Russia is
signaling that their their conditions are and they've reiterated this
from the June fourteenth line last summer.

Speaker 1 (02:23:52):
They're saying today that it's the four oblosts.

Speaker 21 (02:23:55):
The Zepparisia, Luhans, Donetsk and Kirshn, the demilitarization of Ukraine,
and that has yet to be deciphered. And then and
negotiation are a deal signed with a new Ukrainian leader
who has passed an election. It is legitimate to be
able to author a sign. That's what they're calling for.
They're not saying that we want to go somewhere else

(02:24:17):
and we want to attack something else. If Trump is
able to agree to that, that's the end of it
right there. That leaves the European Union everybody else free
to provide their own national security, which, by the way,
Secretary of Defense Hexas said, you guys ought to focus
on Article three of the Natal Charter, which says every
nation is required to provide its own national security.

Speaker 1 (02:24:37):
So Trump is moving in that direction, and I really
applaud that. Okay, I guess, and I half jokingly bring
this up because I have a feeling you probably agree
with me that the United Nations is probably the most
corrupt and incompetent entity on the planet. I may be
overstating a little bit, but aren't there UN peacekeeping forces?

(02:24:57):
And why do they always seem to be suspiciously absent
in major conflicts? Daniel, Yeah, No, I mean, of course
there are no quote you in peacekeepers. I know, they're
just soldiers from other countries that wear a blue helmet,
and of course they're powerless because they're only there for peacekeepers,
which by definition means that there has been a peace

(02:25:18):
agreement reached and the two sides have agreed that that's
what's gonna happen, and then they just sit in the
middle to try to make it harder for one side
or the other to break it. Obviously, Russia is not
even contemplating that. In fact, they said there will be
no peacekeepers.

Speaker 21 (02:25:31):
That's part of what they define is the demilitarization of Ukraine,
not the remilitarization by bringing Western military forces into the conflict.

Speaker 1 (02:25:39):
So they're never going to agree to it.

Speaker 21 (02:25:41):
And Russia has said if there's troops come in that
are that we don't agree to under the EUN auspices,
interestingly enough, then we'll consider them enemy combatants. Now we
don't care what nationality are, and we'll fight them. And
you had Hexcess say, if y'all do that, Europe, there's
no Article five here and there won't be any American
troops as well, So that's going to give an appetite

(02:26:02):
suppression to Europe, I think. But I'll just tell you, Brian, overall,
I think that this is just the death throws of
the way things have always been in Europe, not realizing
that there's you know, a new force in America coming in,
going in a different direction, but they're going to have
to come in line because they don't have the capacity
to do what they want to do.

Speaker 1 (02:26:22):
Yeah, I just wonder how much of this is being
driven by the military industrial complex. You know, there's a
lot of people with powerful interests and a lot of
money feeding fuel fuel for the fire, and as long
as that more continues to rage, then you know who's
going to be making money off of it, which is
a really sorry thing to contemplate. Lots of unpack on

(02:26:43):
that one, Daniel Davis, but I sure appreciate your insight
and your thoughts on it, and I'll always, as I
always do, look forward to another discussion with you in
another deep dive next Tuesday at eight thirty between now
and then, best to health, my friend, see you then,
looking forward to it. It's a thirty nine to fifty

Speaker 1 (02:28:26):
A forty five fifty five KRCD talk station five one, three, seven,
four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
to three talk hun by fifty on atat phones. You
didn't hear Steve good and you went through all the
reasons why that Connected Communities program that was jammed down
all the neighborhoods in the city of Cincinnati is a
bad idea. Putting his lawyer hat on on behalf of

(02:28:48):
the Charter Committee, which is still around. You have an
alternative when it comes to politics in the city Cincinnati,
and Charter rights may represent a better alternative for you
out there. If you're Democrats that are stuck with people
who don't listen to you. You and your concerns about
building dense housing in your neighborhood that's a good conversation
with him. Apparently a lot more to it. I got

(02:29:09):
an email from John who said, I went to the
three hour Connected Community meeting Saturday the fifteenth. Todd Zinzer
was there, our inspector general friend. He said a couple
of takeaways that Steve. I mean, we only had a
little bit amount of time with Steve. He didn't mention though,
tax abatements and incentives for developers. How about that, So

(02:29:31):
developers are incentivized through tax abatements to well shift the
burden to the already over taxed homeowners.

Speaker 5 (02:29:37):
Mmmm.

Speaker 1 (02:29:38):
They say forty to fifty percent of people can't afford
the house they live in, but they're going to shrink
the tax pool to make home ownership harder. We want
to give school I give vouchers the people who can't
afford the housing for housing, but not failing schools. Good
point made there, trying to make housing quote unquote equitable,
yet the real estate taxes are not equitable. Another good
point there. Just a couple more fun facts to go

(02:30:05):
along with that equation. Thanks to Ed who and I
don't know if this is true or not, but he said,
if you noticed the addition to the US debt clock
apparently now is a Doge clock in the upper left section,
so you can follow the savings that DOGE is bringing about,
reportedly currently at fifty billion dollars and growing, eliminating things like, oh,

(02:30:29):
I don't know what was it the ten million dollars
in circumcisions for people in Mozambique, and really puzzled by
this one, considering our failing schools, going back to the
point that he made forty seven million dollars we spent
for improving learning outcomes in Asia, actually finding it difficult
that he was at the DOGE and the folks that

(02:30:50):
are working on ferreting out this fraud, waste and abused
in government were even able to do that. Another fun
fact we find out thanks to DOGE, they discovered idea
dentification codes linking US Treasury payments to a budget line
item suspiciously absent, which means the money that flows out
was not linked to a particular program or law. Courted

(02:31:16):
DOGE on a post on X the Treasury Access symbol
tas Treasury Access symbol. It's an identific code identification code
linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item. Standard
financial process in the federal government the tas this Treasury
access symbol was optional for four point seven trillion dollars

(02:31:43):
in payments, often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. So
as a Saturday, this is now required field. So that's
one thing that Trump administration delivered on is actually creating
an opportunity to follow the dollars. Can you imagine that,

(02:32:06):
actually following where the dollars come out of treasury and
knowing where they went mere symbol missing, That allow for
more insight into where the money's actually going. So from
this point forward, least under Trump administration, they've cracked down
on that. It's pretty amazing when prior Yeah, what a Nazi, right, Joe, Nazi?

(02:32:27):
Oh you mean, uh, standard accounting practices is is something
from the National Socialist Party, Joe, just as apparently Hitler
did it first, and I got a big kick out
a White House Press Secretary Carolyn Lovett rolling out this
video footage speaking about prior administrations, the Clinton administration, of

(02:32:48):
Bob administration, Joe Biden all promising to do exactly what
dog who's actually doing under the Trump administration. We can't
sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars that
have outlived their usefulness or exists solely for the power
of politicians, lobbyists or interest groups. Is that from Elon Musk,
Donald Trump?

Speaker 13 (02:33:09):
Maybe?

Speaker 17 (02:33:10):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:33:11):
Barack Obama back when he was president and back when
Biden was Vice president, he said that you and I
as Americans, are in his words, entitled to accountability to
make sure we're using the dollars for what we said
it was for. Well, you can't do that if a
Treasury department doesn't identify which specific budget line item the

(02:33:32):
money is flowing out of the treasury to go pay for?
Can you Why didn't you fix it when you were
in that office? Sech asking Biden, why didn't he fix
all the things that he did the Harrison when Harris
was running for president? Why didn't you do it while
you were in elected capacity? Why didn't you do it?

Speaker 10 (02:33:47):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:33:49):
How come you've spent four years spinning your wheels and
not accomplishing anything. You're on the campaign trail promising to
do now good questions? All Obama said, We are going
to go through our federal budget line by line, eliminating
these programs we don't need and ensuring that those we
do need to operate in a sensible, cost effective way. Yeah,

(02:34:09):
but you can't do it if the payments aren't traceable,
can you? And you can't do it if there aren't
resources there to figure out how it is first off,
that we spent ten million dollars for voluntary mail mail
circums medical mail circumcisions in Mozambique, or even follow the
dollars if the money that went to Mozambique actually paid

(02:34:31):
for voluntary medical mail circumcisions, which was the point of
the program. I understand none of this makes any sense,
and the ten million dollars is a quite literal drop
in the bucket considering four point seven trillion dollars in
money flows out of the federal government. But it's an

(02:34:52):
important point, and it's an important thing to remember that
this whole concept used to be at least by artisan Then,
in spite of the fact that they didn't do anything
about it when they were elected, they at least said
they want accountability, they want to stop this fraud, waste,
and abuse bleeding billions of taxpayer dollars. Is Barack Obama

(02:35:12):
put it himself, Did he do anything about it? No,
it's only gotten infinitely worse. Jay Welcome to the Morning Show.
Thanks for calling up this morning.

Speaker 22 (02:35:22):
Hey, thanks Brian, real quick, so tight on time. I
did some research today that says, who are the government
watchdogs who ought to be tracking this money before there.

Speaker 1 (02:35:31):
Was a doge?

Speaker 22 (02:35:32):
There is a House Oversite Committee, and I said, well,
when was that formed? Nineteen twenty seven? So for one
hundred years we've had these elected representatives who get paid extra,
kind of like Ohio's Joint Medicaid Oversight Committee, who gets
paid extra to go make sure that the over the
Medicaid system up in Ohio, who's last in the nation

(02:35:54):
with a forty seven point seven percent rate. That's what
I can't wait to see at the federal level. And
I know that's Doe's focus at the federal level. What
the hell have we been paying these people for? When's
the accountability going to start rolling down to the people
to show up sit around a conference room table down
in DC or Columbus and haven't done a damn thing. Yeah,

(02:36:15):
when is that accountability going to come back? And why
don't they just shut these things down? Paying these people
extra for doing nothing for one hundred years.

Speaker 1 (02:36:21):
Well, I've got no problem with that concept. Jay none
at all, but I think that's what inspector generals are
supposed to do. We had Todd zinzer On here and
I think he what was he the Transportation Department inspector
general Joe, Yeah, I think that's what it was. But
that's part of their role and their function. They get
paid to do that job, and they have a staff
of people who are supposed to be minding the dollars.

(02:36:42):
So I suspect they're all working at home, probably playing
on their sunny PlayStation or something, rather than actually accomplishing
something fundamental for the American people. So at least we
get something going here, at least, you know the as
I pointed out a couple of times this morning, I
think it's important just shedding light and these outrageous stories
again drops in the federal government's budget. Spending ten million

(02:37:07):
dollars is literally nothing. And I'm sure ten million dollars
has been spent in just a few moments of time
while I'm getting this thought out loud. But when you
tell someone who's working and paying taxes that part of
the labor is going for something like that, when their
neighborhood may be falling apart, their roads have not been
fixed or fill in the blank on literally any other

(02:37:30):
thing that that individual thinks government should be accomplishing. They're
not accomplishing it. We're spending these this money all over
the globe for purposes that are absolutely crazy on their face,
and that we don't even know we're accomplished or served

(02:37:53):
some sort of good. If there is a legitimate need
for voluntary medical mail circumcisions in Mozambia, I'd first liked that.
Explain to me why and why are we paying for it?
But did it happen? I guarantee there's not a sole
in government. Even the people who are behind that particular expenditure,
they don't know, They can't tell you. And that's the

(02:38:13):
kind of thing that should, regardless of political stripe, kiss
people off and maybe bring about some political engagement on
their behalf af At five fifty five k see talk
