Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Five o five at fifty five k r C DE
talk station, Happy Wednesday, will.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
The vacation.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
No ideas?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Thanks Tally, I don't either. I know it's Wednesday. I
know we got the return of Judge Inta Paula Tana
today back from vacation. Can the President impose taxes? Taxes?
Are they different than tariffs? He outlines it in his
op ed piece which comes out tonight. I got a
copy of it already and we will be talking about that.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Preceded by Judge Betsy Sunderman Domestic Relations tot Judge Shunnerman
curfews don't work. That's the summon substance what she says,
and we'll get all the details and breakdown of that
from the judge at eighth five. Preceded by It's Wednesday,
Donovan and Neale, Americans Prosperities don anil every Wednesday at
seven point thirty. Of course, our elected officials are on

(01:12):
recess in Columbus, so we're going to get a little
bit more information about the One Small Step campaign. But basically,
you can help. You can help make a change if
you do just something small. Every little bit counts, just
the uh oys, Every little bit counts. I'm reminded my

(01:33):
constitutional law professor when talking about Worker versus Philburn, which
is probably one of the worst Supreme Court cases to
ever have been handed down. That's the one that says,
even if you're in a state and you're not doing
interstate commerce, just your mere activity within a state, like
growing your own wheat for your consumption on your own
property without selling it to any human being, just because

(01:56):
the wheat impacts the available wheat, Well, you know, basically nationally,
you have impacted interstate commerce even though you weren't engaged
in interstate commerce. That's Wicked versus Filberd, and that's how
we have this massive regulatory state. If it wasn't for
that case, if you just stuck to your own business
and just didn't do business outside of your state, you

(02:17):
would be free of all federal regulations. Yeah, we don't
have that. We haven't had it since the nineteen thirties.
So there you go on that one. Every little bit counts.
I remember he was standing there in front of the
constitutional law class talking about that the impact of interstate commerce,

(02:39):
even if infinitesimal, allows the federal government to go after
you by way of regulations. His analogy, it's like a
flea urinating in the Pacific Ocean. Every little bit counts,
i e. The volume of moisture in the ocean. So
looking forward to that, one one small step, you can engaged,

(03:00):
and Donovan's going to tell you how you can get engaged.
It's a little bit of work on your part. Hey
may have a huge outcome if everybody gets involved. Big
picture with Jack Adan and every Wednesday, seven oh five,
our dear friend Jack Athdan today letting children vote. Gee,
I wonder what side of the ledger. Jack's gonna come
down on that one ah five one three, seven nine

(03:23):
fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three ta pound
five fifty on AT and T phones. Tomorrow. I'm very
excited we will be speaking. She's going to be in studio, outspoken.
Absolutely horrific tragedy. Absolutely. Sarah Herringer, whose husband was stabbed
in there over the Rhine Home, will join the program tomorrow.

(03:45):
She's going to be in studio for a full hour
to talk about solutions, to talk about you know what
she is hoping, and she has lit a fire underneath
our elected officials here in the city considering what she
went through and the conditions that led up to what
she went through. So that'll be tomorrow. She actually released
a statement just yesterday too in Hamilton County violent offenders

(04:11):
don't break the system, they walk straight through it with
a judge's signature. That will be basically the headline on
Sarah Hedinger's most recent well opinion piece op ed piece.
We'll call it that, for lack of a better term, anyway,
that's what's coming up on the Morning show five one, three, seven,
five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three Talk or Go

(04:32):
with pound five fifty on at and T phones Ah. Look.
Two people have been arrested as a consequence of that
violent beatdown that happened early Saturday morning downtown. First arrest made,
according to Sincey Police Apartment announcement yesterday, thirty four year
old Montianez Merriweather and twenty four year old deek Eira

(04:56):
Vernon d e Ky Decurra. I don't know she's under arrest.
Meriwether and Vernon police said are each facing felonious assault
and aggravated riot charges. Oddly enough or perhaps not, and

(05:18):
this is one of the complaints Sarah Herringer has to say, Uh,
Meriweather out on bond at the time of the fight
for which he's been arrested. According to Facebook post and
the Sincinni FOP Queen City Lodge number sixty nine, Ken Kolber,
president of the FOP, thanks to the fantastic work of CDP,
two people have been arrested so far in the heinous
attack Saturday morning. Montaz Meriweather was charging connection connection with this.

(05:41):
Why was he out since any? FOP Queen City Lodge
number sixty nine asked rhetorically on its Facebook post. He
was indicted seven ten, twenty twenty five for receiving stolen
property weapons under disability. Hey, Joe, don't we have a
problem downtown Cincinnati. Aren't they always screaming about getting guns

(06:03):
off the street. Don't you think they should treat gun
offenders folks? They should not have firearms and are under
disability When caught with firearms, shouldn't they be treated with
the absolute most you know, the highest bond, locked up whatever,

(06:25):
and let us see improper transportation of a firearm. As
a result of an arrest by the Street Crimes Task Force,
he was handed down a four thousand dollars bond at
ten percent, which means four hundred dollars. Joe, you don't
have to pay the whole bond. You only got to
pay ten percent. What's the problem. The judge William Mallory

(06:56):
out on four hundred dollars weapons under disability okay, Corney
fop Meriweather four thousand dollars ten percent. Four hundred dollars
restaurants for three other people have been issued. According to

(07:17):
the Prosecutor's office in a statement yesterday, one of those
three could be on the verge of surrendering. According since
the police Chief Threes of Tiji, who said, quote, we
assigned charges on five individuals from that incident. Two of
them are in custody now and the third one we
are facilitating a surrender hopefully tonight or early tomorrow. No

(07:43):
update on the condition of the victims, at least as
of yesterday. John Houstad, you know John, he was on
the program last week. Senator John Houston I called the
all three of them. He said there may have been more,
referring to the number of people harmed or injured. In
conversation with them, they don't know why, I know, maybe
more facts will come out in this situation. Well, thank

(08:04):
you for Senator Houstad for least reaching out to them,
and so far as Sarah Henninger has to say, referring
to the judges and the low or no bonds as
the case may be, weapons charges you right, sexual assault,
arm robbery, strangulation. These are not isolated incidents or first
time mistakes. These are repeat offenders, often committed by individuals

(08:27):
with known histories of violence, Individuals who've been arrested, convicted, released,
and arrested again. These are cases that didn't fall through
the cracks. They were walked through the front door by
judges who knew exactly who stood before them, by judges,
elected officials, fully informed, utterly unaccountable. This isn't a comprehensive list.

(08:49):
It doesn't even touch juvenile court, where transparency is nearly
non existent. This is just a sample, a snapshot, and
it's more than enough to confirm why what's so many
of us have felt but struggled to name. The danger
isn't just on the streets, It's in the courtroom, she writes,

(09:10):
beginning with Judge Jennifer Branch, and then she cites particular
illustrations of defendants who appeared before Charlie Jackson being one
of them serving time for violent charges. Filed for early release.
He could walk free as early as August nineteenth, coming
up fast upon us Cortes more on probation for having

(09:30):
a gun as a fellon. Arrested again for the same offense.
Judge Branch gave him time served and sent him home.
Tyrie Elliott two previous prison terms for gun charges. Arrested again,
probation not prison again. This is Judge Jennifer Branch. DeAndre
Bouie juvenile record for felonious assault, on probation for a

(09:54):
weapons charges. Arrested again for felony theft, released with no bond.
Pivoting over Judge Christian Jenkins. Start with Antone Taylor, originally
charged with rape, pled to aggravated assault, cut off his
ankle monitor while wanted for burglary. Arrested again with a
gun still sentence the probation. Thank you, Judge Jenkins. Ty

(10:20):
Shawn Johnson convicted of arm robbery, released on early judicial release.
Violated probation five times, including a felony drug charge. Judge
Jenkins reinstated his release July twenty eighth, pivoting over to
Judge Robert Gering. Terrence Davis that defended criminal history including
aggravated burglary, felonious assault, attempted murder, caught with a gun

(10:42):
while on probation, given probation. Judge Wendy Cross signing the
re Entry Doctor a quiet one year early release program
for inmates. No public data, no outcome reports, no oversight.
Judge Allan Triggs, referring to defendant Gary Martin, out on

(11:06):
judicial release for robbery and felonious assault, charged with four
new felonies including theft, strangulation, suffocation, and abduction, she says
he never should have been released at all. This isn't
just bad policy, she writes, It's a system that repeatedly
chooses to protect offenders, not the public. Each of these

(11:26):
outcomes was a decision, a moment in which a judge
looked at the documented history of a violent offender and said,
let's try this again. As this continues, the people responsible
look away. Why are police officers burned out because they
risk their lives making arrest only to see these offenders
back out before the ink is dry. Why isn't City

(11:47):
Hall saying anything, she asked, because acknowledging it would mean
owning their failure to lead and where's the city chief
of police. Why isn't she defending her officers whose work
is being undone by a courtroom signature. This isn't about funding,
This isn't about training. This is about willful apathy, institutional neglect,

(12:10):
and collapse of accountability from the inside out. The people
tasked with protecting the public have stopped trying, and the
people tasked with reporting it on it rather aren't even looking.
So yes, it feels like a fitness coach is the
one track in case numbers, releasing judicial release decisions and
writing the expose. It's because I am, not because I'm qualified,

(12:33):
but because someone had to. So what now? You don't
need a legal background to see the rot. You just
need to stop pretending these people deserve your vote, channeling
Andrea Ewing, who was on the program yesterday. Stop re
electing judges who prioritize second chances for violent offenders over

(12:54):
the safety of your family. Stop mistaking silence from leadership
as a sign and nothing's wrong. Stop waiting for someone
else to take the first step. Hamilton County is not broken,
it's being mismanaged, and it's being exposed. This is just
a handful of names, a small crack in the surface,
and already it's enough to prove the system isn't failing

(13:17):
by accident. It's operating exactly as it's being allowed to.
The silence ends here, let the record begin. Sarah Aaron,
you're well, well stated, and I am very much looking
forward to having you on the program tomorrow five eighteen

(13:38):
fifty five KRC the Talk station. Jeff Cramerton may have
some at least a reasonable suggestion for a solution we
can talk about that. I'd love to hear from you too,
right back after these words.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Fifty five KRC our iHeart Real Music.

Speaker 1 (13:54):

return to returning to Weedham and I hope you can
make an opportunity, you know, put on your calendar, see
if you can show up, enjoy some fellowship, get to

(14:15):
meet some cool people, and you may even make some friends.
I love my listener lunch folks. I didn't mention on
the rundown it was added, it's important Claremont County Prosecutor
Mark Tokulby's going to join the program. At the end
of the end of the eight o'clock hour eight forty five,
after Judge Jennen of Poulitano, there was a jury trial.

(14:37):
They got a conviction. Congratulations to Claimont County Prosecutor Mark
to Calvey and the assistant prosecutors who prosecuted this miserable
piece of excrement, Charles Theederman, found guilty of ninety three

(15:01):
felony charges including rape, grows, sexual imposition, sexual battery, pandering
and sexually oriented material involving a minor, and tampering with
evidence recorded. It's reported that he, this miserable piece of
extrement recorded every single sexual abuse act that he was
charged with, ninety three felony charges. Jerry trial. All of

(15:31):
the sexual assault videos had to be played during the trial,
and Fetterman decided to represent himself, which required the victims
that he molested to have to deal with the guy
face to face and answer his questions and presumably sit
through the disgusting, horrific videos that this miserable piece of

(15:53):
excrement recorded. I'm looking for or to talking to them.

three talk ton five fifty on AT and T phones.
Welcome back, Tom. Always a pleasure to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Thank good, good morning.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
And I don't think I'm gonna need my hurdie this weekend.
But it sure sounds like it's gonna be nice.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Oh what a refreshing change, man. Oh just I hate
I hate eating humidity.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Yeah, it's been. It's been quite oppressive. Yesterday when I
was talking to you, I didn't catch this while I
was on the phone with you, didn't didn't realize what
was going on and until I heard Fred's call. Good
morning Fred. By the way, apparently you you felt the
need to correct me on something, and so I went
back and listened to that portion of the show, and Uh,

(18:35):
it seems like we have a misunderstanding, and I want
to make sure that that you and Fred don't misunderstand
my view on things.

Speaker 7 (18:44):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh sure, Uh.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
I never I never once said or applied that the
whole group of people down there involved in that Ryan assault,
beat down whatever.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
Was all black.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
I never, I never thought that. I don't think that.
In fact, I seeing the video, and my point was
about h you you were you had just brought up
something about the use of the word thug and how
it was asked and one of the reportings, And my
my only point was since there were definitely black people
involved in it, some of them, and since j D

(19:19):
called that group of people thugs, therefore j D calls
the black people thugs. And there are people out there
that are opportunistic and will take anything a Republican says,
and we'll use it against them, even if it's something
that someone on the left is set uh, or or
a decision they make, or a phrase they use, or

(19:40):
or whatever that that was the only only point I
was trying to make that uh to to friend's point
about what the what he and and other people in
the black community won and I and I heard him
say multiple times, and I believe him. He doesn't speak
for the black community, but the things that that they

(20:00):
say they want, as far as safety, copts, more cops,
u stuff like that. You want you want your kids
to be able to play in the front yard for
crying out loud. Yeah, you know, you want to be
able to walk down the street well without being afraid
of getting punched or shot or or whatever. I mean,

(20:22):
it's just it's simple things. The point is we all
want that every I'm under the assumption, correct me if
I'm wrong here, that all communities, the majority of all
communities and the community as a whole, want these things.
We want more safety, We we want we don't want
to feel scared walking down our own street.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Right.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
And this is this is where I get confused, because
you know, every election before and after we break down
the demographics and and white educated women between twenty five
and forty vote this way, and and how's wives vote
that way, and and more. I don't know to say
more often than not, it pretty much is a guarant
locked every election, the vast majority of the Black community

(21:05):
vote a certain way, and it's like it's the one
that rarely changes. And if you guys are all want
and this is any community, but I'm speaking directly, this
is Fred. Brought this up to Fred and the black community.
If this is what you guys want, safety, more costs,
cops to be able to do their jobs, less people

(21:27):
like you talked about these judges that are letting people
out when they shouldn't be let out. If you guys
want this, then don't vote Democrats. Have a great day, Bry.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Thank you, Tom Point, well taken. Maybe Jeff Grammerting's got
an idea. Council of Grammiting is going to be presenting
a motion to use SINCINNY City taxpayer dollars to recruit
more officers for the Sin Saint Police Department, pay them
over time, increase bike and walking patrols, install more lighting
and security cameras, and take other measures. In the words

(21:59):
and the motion, I guess or his words speaking with
The Inquirer's Patrician Newberry, to improve public safety and deter
violent crime in the Central Business district and other crime hotspots.
That's a cord to his draft motion seeking funding following
the violent fight over the weekend quote. As made clear
by the video over the weekend, there is a small

(22:20):
but very dangerous group of violent people in Cincinnati understatement
of the week Jeff. But I'll take it. Let us
see here. You said the circumstances behind the fight are irrelevant.
It's not the behavior we can tolerate in Cincinnati. Is
most suggest expanding the police department's lateral recruit class that

(22:44):
will be hiring away officers that have experienced from other
police departments and hiring here in the city of Cincinnati.
Dangling a care to perhaps making more money populated by
officers currently employed by the jurisdictions. Residents, business owners, and
others have told him that they want police to be
more visible downtown. He said, this is a way to
get more officers on the street more quickly. I'll take it, Jeff.

(23:08):
Sounds like a good idea. Look one of the members
of councils standing up and suggesting we need more law enforcement. Ah,
maybe that's the answer to the question seven or five
thirty five right now fifty five care see the talk
station feel free to call if you got a comment.
Otherwise we'll dive on into the stack of stupid coming up.

(23:28):
I'll be right back fifty five KRCU five thirty nine
fifty five car see the talk station Happy Wednesday five one, three, seven,
four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
to three talk come five fifty on eighteen T phone.
You heard Tom refer to Fred. Fred's on the phone.
But hold on one moment. Fred, It'll only take me
a second here to dive into the stack of stupid,
which relates to the violence in downtown Cincinnati. We all

(23:51):
saw the video, at least you're aware of it by now.
Crazy crowd issuing a beat down the likes of which
many of us have never seen before, and anyone trying
to justify it, I would say, is batcrap insaying, Oh, look,
Victoria Parks councilwoman elected official City of Cincinnati. We got
an election coming up in November. Victoria Parks had this

(24:12):
to say on social media. Quote they begged for that
beat down. I'm grateful for the whole story.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Close quote, don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Let's move over to see what Fred's got this morning.
Fred welcome back, man. It's good to hear from you today.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Hey, good morning once again. I love your your platform.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I just love it. Thanks Fred.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Let me preference by saying that I just happen to
be an older black man living in a neighborhood. I
don't consider it a black neighborhood a white neighborhood.

Speaker 8 (24:47):
I live in a neighborhood in your neighborhood, and that's it.
And let me say I'm an independent. I have a
brother and a sister that voted for Trump. So I
just don't want everybody to think that every black person
is a Democrat.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
We're not.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
We vote what we think is right dealing with us.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
You know.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
That's you know, I hate the interject, but you're right.
And if you look at the demographics and the outcome
of the twenty twenty four election, you can see that
Donald Trump made some significant inroads in the minority communities.
I mean, you know, he took away giant percentages of
folks who otherwise traditionally have lockstep vote Democrat. So yeah,

(25:29):
I agree with you. There are people out there that,
exercising a measure of independence, were making their choices politically.

Speaker 8 (25:35):
It's a good point let me give you a prime example.
When they do that TV survey, they send it to
certain people and only certain people seem to get it.
And so when they do the survey, basically they're using
that data for the I guess what they forced the

(25:55):
I can't think of the word right now anyway, So
what I'm saying is that they go to certain black
people to get the data they need to say that, Okay,
black people are voting strictly Democrat.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
That's not true. Half the people that I know don't
even vote, and I'm mad at them.

Speaker 8 (26:14):
You know, it's not because of Democrat or Republican and
because they're.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Too late to get up and go and to vote.

Speaker 8 (26:19):
I can say that, But anyway, I just want to
call this to say, basically, we all don't vote, you know,
Republican the Democrat.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
We vote our mind. And what I'm looking for right
now as far.

Speaker 8 (26:32):
As everybody's making under fifty thousand dollars and that basically
that have been forgotten. You know that don't get no
ras that don't you know, don't it's not paying.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
Into no.

Speaker 8 (26:45):
Retirement program or anything like that. These people are forgot it,
you know. Now everybody else is seen to be getting
a piece of the pie. Everybody else under that is
not getting a piece of the pie. And basically, that's
all I want to say to you.

Speaker 5 (26:58):
What issue?

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Once again, Fred, I can't thank you enough for the
kind words, and I appreciate your student observations and pointing
out that, yeah, we can't paint with a broad brush
and assume everyone in any particular given community is going
to do anything at all. I agree with that completely,
and let us emphasize Fred's point. You know a lot
of people just don't vote into that forgotten segment, at

(27:21):
least people who believe they've been forgotten by the political
machine that's out there. You know, you can change the
tide by getting out on election day and casting a vote.
You don't have to be stuck with the same old,
same old. There's no reason for you to continue down
this I repeated path over and over and over again.
There's no reason we should presume that Aftab provol is

(27:41):
just automatically going to be erected and re elected to
be a mayor of the City of Cincinnati. Why is
he deserving of reelection? Ask yourself these questions. Are you
happy with the current situation? Has your road to been neglected.
Fred at least had his fixed, you know, at some
level for and I apologized of saying this, on some level,

(28:02):
I'm almost disappointed that you got your road fixed, because
we were using you as a rallying cry there for
a while. Fixed Fred's roads, you were illustrative of a
larger broad problem of the city of Cincinnati, which is
neglected roadways. Anyhow, you can feel free to chime in
in common if you like, feel free to call over
to the stack. Is stupid? Why not beginning with this one?

(28:27):
A prankster through what turned out to be what I
will call a marital aid sex toy, green in color,
onto the basketball court during a matchup between the Atlanta
Dream and the Golden State Valkyries. Last night game to
the Gateway Center Arena came to a halt in front
of the corner after what was initially reported as a

(28:50):
green object being thrown under the court later revealed to
be a green sex toy. Why are you doing that?
I have no idea? Accordingly, reporting the broadcast, True tried
to determine what was going on until the camera found
what the object was, and a brief glimpse at the
green item which turned out to be a sex toy.

(29:11):
In question quickly sent the camera in another direction. Curse.
The video is shared online, obviously viral. Perpetrator apparently not
identified and remains at large. Okay, you know I puzzle

(29:32):
over that. You know why one might throw that onto
the court? Bigger question? Who brings that kind of item
to a basketball game? Does that to give you something
to do between breaks or something? Five forty fifty five
K City Talk Station. More stupid or calls coming up.
I'll be right back fifty five KARC. We all remember

(29:56):
that one teacher who TV talk station? Before I get
back to this stacker stupid. I love talking to the listeners.
Let's go to the phones. We'll start with George. George,
thanks for calling this morning, and a happy Wednesday to you, sir.

Speaker 9 (30:10):
Good Norton, Hey about your last tager, stupid. You're asking
why they were bringing such a thing. But I was
wondering why wasn't they're a phrasing when you said they
were still at large?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
I was waiting for that. That's why I paused. George
just director was busy, probably busy doing other things that
executive producers do. Yeah, thanks George calling out Joe being
slow in the phrasing. Button, They're better late than ever.
Cribbage Mike, my submarine or friend. Welcome back, Man, It's

(30:44):
always good talking with you.

Speaker 10 (30:46):
Wait a minute, you say cribbage Mike, and I get
a phrasing.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Come on, Joe, that was the delay from the prior one.

Speaker 10 (30:55):
Hey, that was a phenomenal op ed that you read
that Sarah Hendrick you're authored and I'm definitely looking forward
to her interview with you view tomorrow.

Speaker 11 (31:05):
You know, it's obviously extremely tragic what she's experienced, what
those other two people experience this weekend, but maybe just
maybe with the election only three weeks excuse me, three
months away downtown, this may be the tipping point. And
you know, Brian, when you also couple what happened to
the Hyde Park residence, maybe some of this will resonate

(31:26):
with the city of Cincinnati voters not to just vote
and step Democrat. And to Tom's point and even Fred's point,
Christopher Smitherman in his last two days, which are just
awesome as usual, Christopher I went and listened to the
rebroadcast when he went on another local radio station, and

(31:46):
Christopher said the exact same points that he made on
your show the last two days after.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
He hung up, you would have swore he was Hamas.

Speaker 10 (31:56):
Or Antifa with some of the callers and even the
host afterwards. And it's just amazing. And granted that's probably
one or two people, and it doesn't represent a whole community,
but still, and then and then the gal of the
police Department's Favors friend Irish Rolly get on and also
chime in. It's just incredible. And when you think about

(32:16):
what Donald Trump said in the twenty sixteen elects and
what do you got to lose? How are things going
to be any different if you just go bothe the
same way? You know?

Speaker 5 (32:24):
So maybe just these.

Speaker 11 (32:25):
Horrific accident accidents are not accidents, tragedies that these people
have experienced.

Speaker 10 (32:30):
And Sarah Henrich is not going away. If people at
city Hall or after pure of all things, you know,
they can just hide in their basement and.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Just she's not.

Speaker 10 (32:38):
She It's terrible what she went through, but she is
maybe the advocate the city of Cincinnati needs. I, you know,
I applaud what she's trying to do.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
There's a lot of people that would just wallow in
the grief of losing their spouse and just you know,
and and give up. But she's turning an awful, awful
situation and using it as an opportunity to better the
community for every human being that live in the city
of Cincinnati.

Speaker 10 (33:01):
So yeah, ten years from now, there may be a
statue erected of her on Fountain Square if we get
the change that this city needs, if we want to
be successful and.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Not another Portland. Yeah, amen to that might without question. Yeah,
and you mentioned Iris Rawleigh. Well, I hate to give
her any credibility whatsoever. She is a very vocal community activist.
Her statement on social media, he deserved it, all of it.
Meaning the guy that got the beat down on the
heels of Victoria Parks councilwoman Parks. They begged for that beatdown.

(33:30):
I'm grateful for the whole story, community leaders. Okay, anyway,
the stack of stupid good South Carolina handah hand. South
Carolina dance teacher there facing charges after an investigation stemming
from a dance routine parents believe was inappropriate. I concur

(33:52):
with the parents forty five year old Andrea and Mazelle
accused of giving children alcohol, having vulgar conversations with them,
showing sexually explicit photos of herself, and even touching students
inappropriately during dance practice. What the helped you Back to
March when the investigations started. Handhand police responded to a

(34:12):
report of an argument at dance school. Incident reports that
a fight centered on dance routine that some parents had
quote conflicted with their morals close quote instructor Mizelle reportedly
had set time aside to speak with one concern parent
about their routine. However, several other parents unexpectedly showed up
to discuss the dance as well. She left in panic.

(34:35):
When officers got to the studio, she was gone, but
her fiance and sister were there as well as multiple parents.
Officers spoke with the parents' children, who raised concern about
her inappropriate conducts. Some of the children said she had
given them alcohol and was having vulgar conversations, as a
quote from the report with them, one child describing Mozel
inviting some of them to her apartment and giving them

(34:57):
Margarita's while they watched a movie. Students also claimed she
had detailed graphic conversations with them about her sex life,
and one child claimed that she had showed nude photos
of herself to them. Affidavid stated that multiple students told
Hanahan police that in May Mozel had touched them quote

(35:20):
in the private parts on the butt clothes, quote which
was in their words, unwanted and non consensual. One victim
told police it would happen multiple times during DAN practice,
making them uncomfortable, and alleging Mozelle would go out of
her way to touch the student. Another to described the
action as smacks that made the student feel uncomfortable. That

(35:42):
victim claimed that she would place her hands on the
victim's waist but during practices, and that the action was
not associated with correcting the student's posture or dance move.
Some students claim that she would also change her clothes
in front of them, often exposing herself. Charge with four
counts a second degree assault and battery four counts and

(36:04):
contributing the delinquency of a minor three counts of disseminating
harmful materials to minors. According to the court documents, Who's
responsible for watching your children? Five point fifty six fifty

in the next hour. Your calls are always welcome and regardless,
we're gonna hit the ground running right after the news

(36:26):
Today's top stories at.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
The top of the hour, It's information that matters to me.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Fifty five krs. The talk station Hey six six FI
fifty five kr. See the talk staging five one three
eight hundred eight ty three talk tip by fifty on
eightent phone before I jump over the phones and get
Jay's call. Big Picture with Jack Adiden letting children vote

(36:54):
his topic this morning. That's fast forwarding one hour to
seven oh five, followed by Americans for Prosperity, Donald and
Neil on the One Small Step campaign, Columbus on recess.
So apparently not a whole lot going on there. Judge
Betsy Soniman joins the program talk. She's from Domestic Relations
Card curfews do not work. She has concluded. We'll get
her comments and thoughts on that. Judge Enna Paulatano and

(37:16):
the President imposing tariff slash taxes and whether he has
the constitutional authority to do that. I think you can
guess what his response on that will be. Then we're
here from Clement County Prosecutor Mark to Culvey on this miserable,
miserable piece of excrement. They got a guilty verdict. On
a molestation a child molestation case ninety three counts anyway,

(37:40):
Special reserve place in Hell for child molesters. Jay, welcome
to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling, man, It's always
good to hear from you.

Speaker 12 (37:49):
Hey, good morning, Brian.

Speaker 10 (37:50):
Hey.

Speaker 12 (37:51):
You know, Irish Rowley's comments removed any remaining tiny shred
of doubt that racism is involved in this thing, because
and that is a representative from the mayor's office. So
when you watch a video and you see people of
one skin color beating on somebody of another skin color,

(38:12):
and I don't care what the color is, that certainly
looks like racism. The FEDS certainly think that there's something
to look into. But when the mayor's office comes out
with a statement like that, that removes any shred of
doubt that we don't need to really speculate anymore. And
I would love if and I don't think she'd come

(38:33):
on your show, but where are the cameras and the
microphones that would say, can you expand on that comment?

Speaker 6 (38:40):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 12 (38:42):
And have her stand front and center and expand and
be held accountable for what exactly are you saying? Representative
from the mayor's office, And I think, you know, as
I listening this morning about judges letting people off and
cops resigning, and we're going to throw more money at
more cops who are going to be put into the

(39:03):
same broken system where we're going to they're going to
put their lives on the line, round up the bad guys,
and they're not going to go away. They're going to
be back on the street chasing the same issues again
and again and again. If we were to go back
and say what was when did this all start to
become unraveled? Do we not agree that it could not
be George Floyd defund the police and all of that,

(39:26):
and we never put it all back together again. This
riot downtown is part of the same output of the
same broken system, not enough cops, same outcome of the
same broken system. Mayor's Office Light on Crime having a
representative with a statement like that, same output of the

(39:47):
same broken system, of the same route cause whenever the
defund the police, that everything like that started. But I
would love for her to be held accountable as if
you know, like jd Vance is being asked to spand
and microphones in his face. I'm just using the word
thug where's the accountability for her?

Speaker 1 (40:06):
It's a great question, you know, if you're she am,
I understanding is she is an employee of the Mayor's
office in some capacity, and I don't know what she's
useful for other than to stirring the pot. But yeah,
she's still employed.

Speaker 12 (40:19):
When is the mayor going to fire her and apologize
to the people of Cincinnati for a statement like that?

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Good question? What about Victoria Parks, She's a councilman. They
begged for that beat down. I'm grateful for the whole story.
That's what she had to say about.

Speaker 12 (40:33):
It, exactly exactly. So instead of calming this thing down,
they're stirring it up and throwing gasoline on the fire.
And zero accountability, which means it's acceptable from the mayor's office,
from city council, yeah, from everybody running the city, perfectly acceptable.
And so again, if that's not racism, I don't know

(40:55):
what is.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Well, I agree with you, but it's also you have
to remember it part of the Marxist playbook, you and
that was where the George Floyd actually incident is as
tenuous as the connection was with you know, police being
inherently racist and whether you know whatever conclusion you've drawn
on the police reaction to the George Floyd situation, that
was what they are always looking for, the leftists, a

(41:17):
way to attack the foundation of a stable society, and
that's law and order. In order to bring aback the
revolutionary change that they need to do is have people
react against law enforcement. Look you see from this illustration
how evil and wrong they are. This is the inherently wrong, dangerous,

(41:38):
corrupt system that we're under. We need to overthrow it.
This is where all the division us is, the reason
for all the division that's being stirred and has been
over the last decade or so. Find an error where
people disagree, foment that, elevate it, get people angry and
angry at each other in an otherwise you know, unified society.

(42:01):
This is I mean, it's a collective goal of Marxist
as part of the playbook. They want people to go
after law enforcement too, help create a more unstable environment.

Speaker 12 (42:09):
I'd say they want the battle in Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Well, I'm not thrown in the towel yet. I know,
and I think if you think about it, Jay, you
know as well as I do. Yes, they're loud, Yes
they're crazy. Yes, they make incendiary comments, but that's what
gets clicks, that's what creates the optics that they actually
are in the majority of people. And if you talk

(42:35):
to any given individuals, they're like, no, we really like
police and we want law and order in our community.
The people that are getting all the attention or represent
the minority. But you know, in a social media filled world,
you can get a lot of idiots standing up and
making statements like this and giving the impression that they
do represent the majority opinion. They actually don't. They're just
willing to make fools out of themselves in public and

(42:56):
get comments like mine and yours and everybody else going on,
did they really say that? Are they out of their minds?
But yeah, they're willing to do that, and they get
others chiming in going yeah, yeah, yeah, people like you,
and I, well I do because I say out loud
what I'm thinking every single day. I'm not afraid of
getting backlash. I don't care, but more people are afraid of,

(43:18):
like I don't want to be the person gets attacked
on social media. I was just joking the other day
with Daniel Davis because all these anti Israel folks made
comments about me being on his program when I, you know,
made a pro Israel comment or two relative to the
murderous Hamas organization. But then they come out of the
woodwork and are willing to go on record and say,

(43:38):
oh yeah, I'm not usually wanting to interject myself into
social media. Why because I don't want to deal with
that crap. And I think that's kind of the default
position for most people who otherwise would stand in and go, no,
this is just not right. This mob beating is in
no way, shape or form defensible at all. Our neighborhood
is falling apart. I've seen crime, my neighbor's gotten broke

(44:00):
into I've heard gunshots in my front yard. Where are
the police. Please bring them to my neighborhood. Please arrest
them and put them in jail. There's not enough statements
to that effect online and there should be. And that
you can go back to something Smithman's commented on over
and over again. You know, up until now, the elected
officials really haven't been saying anything about the crime problem

(44:21):
we have in the city. Purvall has been absent. He
wasn't even at the meeting yesterday where they're talking about
solutions to the violence that they had at the since
An Library. He appeared by video conference, much to the
chagrin of many of the crowd members. Where in the
hells they have to have parvoll on this? So you

(44:43):
see a lot of it. But remember, it's like all
the bad news you read on the internet, you know,
for whatever reason, you know, we're drawn to that by
way of clicking. That's where the revenue comes from. Clickbait, clickbait, evil,
crazy things happen. People are like, are you kidding me?
That actually happened in this world?

Speaker 11 (45:00):
Here?

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Let me click on it and read about it. Does
it mean society is falling apart? I don't necessarily believe it.
There are evil people out there, as demonstrated by the
violence on Saturday morning? Are they the majority? Do the
most of the people in the city of Cincinnati think
that was the right thing to do? Do most of
the people in the city Cincinnati share elected officials like

(45:24):
Victoria Park's attitude that they begged for that beat down.
Are the residents of the city of Cincinnati happy or
grateful that this happened? As Victoria Parks suggested? I don't
believe that for a moment. Jason Williams had a good
perspective on it too. He did a not o bet
in the inquire about well, the ripple effect of something

(45:48):
like this, If we don't get on top of it,
maybe we can dive on into that or calls. I'll
take the calls too, six fifteen right now, if you
five k cite talk station, something you really might want
to do is get in touch with QC Kinetics. You
get out of this morning, you hit the ground and
you're like, oh, the back, the knee. The pain starts
right out of the gate, doesn't it going down the steps,

(46:12):
groaning step by step. You know, he'd probably been to
the doctor. If you're dealing with that arthritis pain, he paining,
hit pain, back pain, whatever kind of pain he got,
and you've probably been taking steroids. Steroid injections work for
a little while, but they don't last. They don't cure
anything masking the pain, and your doctor says, well, maybe
it's time for surgery. How about not? How about scheduling

(46:32):
a free, free, free, free, free consultation with the medical
pros at QC Kinetics. Thousands of patients have been CQC
Kinetics and they have an outstanding success rate with their
patient ninety two percent of patient's satisfaction. It's really amazing
folks that have turned their lives around with QC Kinetics
regenitive treatments to work with your body to help restore

(46:53):
and repair the damage joint tissue using natural or natural
cellular therapies with no scoal, bulls or pills, just long
term relief and no long term recovery problems. They had
that with surgery, so why not take them up. It's
a free consultation. See if you're a good candidate. Maybe
you're not, Maybe you are. If you are, you're gonna
be really happy. Reached out to QC Kinetics five one

Speaker 7 (48:24):
Good morning. How you doing.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
I'm doing fine, Jeff. I hope you can say the same.

Speaker 7 (48:29):
Well, I'll tell you what I just wanted to thank you.
I'm sending out here rocking and watching the sun come up,
and it's nothing else. All this factual information, at least
I consider it factual that you put out is very depressing. Yeah,
what you need to do is turn this into an
opportunity to thank the Good Lord and count your blessings.

(48:50):
I think if people did that more often, we'd be
a lot better off.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
That's a great point, Jeff. It's a great point.

Speaker 7 (48:57):
Ye take you take care of yourself.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Thank you, Jeff, and thank you for writing a little
inspiration for my listening audience this morning. That's sound advice.
It's like on Fridays we play What a Wonderful World?
And you might think, well, how can you call it
a wonderful world when you look around at all the
misery that we focus on. Yeah, I've mentioned that many
times in preparation for the morning show. This is what
I do. I mean, I talk about it four hours

(49:20):
a day. I sit at home. I'm three plus hours
every afternoon getting stories for the following morning, and I'm
surrounded by a bunch of depressing news that's really really
widely what is reported. Very little information out there that's
reported is on the positive side. Does that mean I've
given up? Hell No. I'm appreciative of my family. I'm

(49:43):
appreciative of my children, I'm appreciative of my wonderful wife.
I'm appreciative of the friends that I have. You got
a good friend out there? Why not just focus on
that You got a friend? Isn't it a wonderful thing
to have a friend. I'm blessed they have just record
executive producer of the fifty five KCY Morning Show. He

(50:03):
cracks me up every morning. Little things. Look for him.
Try to find some positive inspiration in your life. Yes,
these bad stories are out there and you can't get
away from them, but see if we can't not let
it just ruin our lives. Honestly, I really think that's
what a lot of folks on the left want. I
focus on the left and turn this into a political matter,
but I go back to that stirring of the pot

(50:28):
of division. They don't want you to be happy. It's
like Karl Marx trying to get You got to eviscerate
the middle class in order to bring it back your
bring about your social revolution, you know, the working class
fighting against the evil capitalist infrastructure. You need to be
angry and mean and want to tear things down, stir

(50:49):
the pot of division to bring about that result. Keep
people away from inspirational things like religion. For example, I
ain't got a real problem in this country. You're turning
away from religion. Religion quite often is the ultimate salvation
for people's sanity. There's something better up there, There's something
that transcends government. There's something that's beyond government, faith in

(51:13):
something that's positive and good, provided you don't use your
faith as a mechanism for division, anger and violence, which
quite often happens anyhow, appreciate it, Jeff, I want you

fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Six twenty nine COVID six thirty and fifty five parri
se the talk station Happy Wednesday. Uh, before I get
to the phones real quick. A couple of little local
stories here. One on the meeting yesterday at the Sincinni Library,
the concerned citizens apparently packing line out the door to
talk about the violent attack over the weekend what to

(54:02):
do about it. Meeting apparently had already been planned a
month in advance by the Downtown Residence Council the DRC,
and the president of the DRC, Andrew Nabe, speaking with WCPO,
said it was more important than ever to have solutions
oriented conversation because of what happened over the weekend. Police
Chief three Cythigi was there, addressing some of the confidents,
she had proved the comments she had previously made. On Monday,

(54:24):
she said, let me be clear, crystal clear, that that
was a violent, violent encounter. It makes me sick watching
it over and over again a national on national news especially,
and it did it's national news. Elon Musk issued a
follow up statement. Attorney General Pam Bondi said they're looking
into it. Morenos commented on it. We had even Donald

(54:45):
Trump Junior comment on it. He said, maybe one of
the reasons there's so much crime and violence on the
street of Cincinnati is because they have this absolute moron
as their police chief, referencing a comment from Police Chief
three Cythigi hmm. Marftab Purvol chose to appear virtually in
front of the crowd, according to cpo's reporting, drawing groans

(55:09):
from the audience when the team pulled out a video
rather than have tab Parvol actually being president at the meeting.
I apologize for not being able to attend this critical
conversation in person. It's not lost on anyone here that
for everyone everything else that we care about in this community,
here we go. None of it works unless crime is

(55:31):
under control, and everyone feels safe, really echoing the sentiments
of many people my listening audience. Crime comes first. You
have a safe community and everything flows from that. Provides
a sense of safety that invites development as well as

(55:52):
people making a consideration and determination that moving into the
city Cincinnati is a good thing. Hey, it's a safe
environment to do that. Any police Lakda Cole criticized Purval
not being there. He's not here. He should have been here.
He should have been here during this large event. No,

(56:13):
he was at a conference. Steve Gooden, running for Cincinni
City Council a good man. Steve Goodin is critical of
Figi's handling of the surgeon vile and crime that's been
going on all summer. When CPO asked if Cole walked
into the library or rather Fiji walked into the library,

(56:35):
Steve Gooden called for her to step down. She's standing
right there and I'll say it so she can hear it,
said Steve Gooden. In my view, she's lost the confidence
of the city, she's lost the confidence of the business community,
she has lost the confidence of the rank and file,
and she should step down. Pretty much along the lines
of what my guests yesterday. Former police officer Andre Ewing

(56:56):
thirty years service to the community as a CINCINNTI police officer.
He too said Thiji was never wanted. Cheryl Long's the
one that appointed or achieved. None of the police department
wanted her. They had better options. Better people want people
with more respect, people that they felt more confident for
that job. They were all overlooked in favor of Police
Chief Fiji. So check out what Andre Youing had to

(57:16):
say about that. Anyway, with that further deal, let's see
what Will's got this morning. Will always good to hear
from me. Welcome back to the morning show.

Speaker 5 (57:23):
Hey, just Kyle to say hi to you blind. I'm uh,
you know, I'm just just just listening to you sometime.
You know, I like listening to you. But I have
to totally agree with that disagree with that situation downtown
because I seen an uncut video and I didn't like
what I saw. And I usually don't get in the

(57:45):
middle of a beat down. But me being a damn
it's sixty years old as a black man, I know
when I walked through a crowd of twenty year old
black men that if they are a little rowdy, I'm
not gonna slap one of them.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
I know this.

Speaker 7 (58:01):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
That sound advice.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
I know what I'm saying, and I'm gonna tell you
how you play that. Brian. You just ain't look man,
I'm good here.

Speaker 15 (58:10):
Man.

Speaker 5 (58:10):
You know you just walk on through. You don't sit
there and go back and forth with a bunch of
twenty year olds.

Speaker 1 (58:16):
No, you just don't do it.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Well.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
That is my lifelong attitude.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
You know.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
I'm five to ten, I weigh about one hundred and
seventy five pounds. I'm not slapping anyone. I don't care
what color they are. I'm not going down that road. One,
I'm not violent. Two, Man, it can hit the fan.
You never know what's gonna happen. There's some crazy people
out there.

Speaker 16 (58:36):
You're right, you know what.

Speaker 7 (58:37):
I'm just like.

Speaker 5 (58:38):
You know, I don't know where everybody thinks all his
hate and fighting is coming from. I got a good
idea though, but I'm not gonna get into that. But
people need to quit listening to certain people and act
like they got some sense out here. Quit thinking everything
is about politic political you know, like I'm on this team,
you on that team. No, we down there have having

(59:00):
a good time, and if somebody steps on my good shoes,
I'm gonna say, man, could you take it easy on
the kicks now, y'all have a nice day and I'm
gonna keep walking.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
That's a Jesus. Turn the other cheek, well, right, right, right,
don't turn the other cheek. Let it go, just sound by,
just walk away.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
Sometimes we have it we partying, you know, we see
people people if if it was a big concert, people
are going to touch people and step on their shoe
or whatever. Stop all the fighting. You know, I'm with
the division thing. You know, we're divided, and I know
where that's coming from. But we ain't gonna get into that. Yeah,
I can stop blaming everybody else because I know where

(59:40):
it's coming from.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
And everybody And if you're that guy who does not
know how to control what happens to them when they're
under the influence of alcohol, then don't drink alcohol. Don't
go out in the public if you can't keep yourself
in line, that's right.

Speaker 5 (59:54):
And don't slap twenty up, don't slap crowd. Somebody in
a crowd and it's in front of they homeboys. Another
thing people got to understand. I know you'd rather punch
them and then slap them. I would have punched them.
If I'm gonna do something, I'm not gonna slap nobody
because punching a to say, well, might let them go
one on one. But if you slap somebody that's different
in the streets. Now, y'all have and don't slap nobody

(01:00:17):
while you're drinking your beer.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
That you always go be all right with me, b.

Speaker 5 (01:00:24):
I got my issues right now. I know you cool
with me, bruh. I know everybody ain't divided. You cool,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
I like that you listen even though you don't always
disagree with me, because you come on and make a
common sense point like that, and you're always welcome on
the morning show by Fred. Will hang in there, man,

(01:00:52):
I gotta call yesterday Fred Fred saved six thousand dollars
getting his images of affordable imaging services. I always hear
from my friend Jeff every time I mentioned it, because
he saved three thousand one hundred dollars. Why because he
got his CT scan at Affordable Imaging Services and didn't
go to the hospital imaging department where they would have

(01:01:13):
charged in five grand CT scan Affordable Imaging Services four
hundred and fifty bucks with no contrast six hundred with
You can get an X ray there for seventy five bucks. MRIs, echo, cardiograms,
ultrasounds all a fraction, huge fraction of what the hospital
imaging department had. Costs very low overhead, but they have
the same kind of equipment. Medical professional has been operating this,

(01:01:35):
They've been at this for decades, but they still make
a profit even charging this low price. The low price
includes the board certified radiologist report. So this makes you
realize how much money hospitals are making. So don't do that.
Go to Affordable Imaging Services Now with a new Richmond location,
you got a couple of options here in the greater
Cincinnati area. Give him a call, exercise your right to choice.

Sue Mike Scott to say, this morning, Mike, thanks so

(01:02:19):
much for calling. Welcome to the show, Y Bright.

Speaker 17 (01:02:22):
A couple of things about the acident downtown the other day. Uh,
you're talking about it. Said she didn't like watching the
National Day. It's actually uh, Sky News Australia was talking
about it. The day's ally all around the world.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
I mentioned an article from Monday in the Hindu Times.
I mean that's an Indian paper last time I checked. Yeah, right,
you can't hide from it.

Speaker 6 (01:02:46):
And the other thing.

Speaker 17 (01:02:49):
The other thing too. I understand the one guy that
they got in a fight that he might have said
some jim or.

Speaker 5 (01:02:54):
Slapped him or whatever.

Speaker 17 (01:02:56):
But the one lady that they that he hit, she
was trying to.

Speaker 6 (01:03:03):
Knocked her ound.

Speaker 17 (01:03:04):
I'm like that right there. He needs to be locked
up for that, right there. I mean, well that's all
they got to.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
Trust me, I understand, And you know that I'm a
friend of this. You know, don't be an idiot and
you're downtown in a group a crowd of people and
you haul off and smack somebody. Uh, you are inviting
a melee, perhaps, although the reason this thing went viral
is because people are it's like abhorring to watch. How
could this possibly happen? How can you justify just kicking

(01:03:35):
the living crap out of a guy who's already lost
the fight. He wasn't like getting up and throwing punches
at people. Man, that guy was down, and you got
ten other people going over and kicking the crap out
of him. That's the appalling part that get that causes
so many clicks and makes people step back and offer
all these comments on a global basis. Why because that
behavior is not acceptable. But even if you want to

(01:03:58):
make a justification for it, like Iris Rawley and councilwoman
Victoria Parks saying that the guy deserved it, you noticed
it didn't really say anything about the woman who got
punched in the face and knocked out. For we're doing
nothing more than appearing to want to render aid to
someone who's been hurt. Talk about beyond the pale and
almost stranger. You know that certainly is worthy of an

(01:04:22):
analysis and certainly worthy of us taking a look at crime.
And maybe this will elevator to the point where we
come up with great solutions or whatever. But the other
one even more appalling. Westside Jim Keefer posted on his
Facebook post the other viral video that's going around of
the knockout game punch. You got a guy with a
cell phone actively recording before anything's happening, nothing's going on.

(01:04:44):
You got one guy standing there, minding his own business.
And then next thing you know, the guy gets squarely
punched in the face and knocked to the ground, and
the guy that punched him drugged the knocked out guy
into the middle of the street ad years and and basically,
you know, support for the guy doing the knockdown of
the beatdown. You can't justify that that guy didn't slap

(01:05:09):
anybody before we got coal cocked. The knockout game. It's
been going on for a while. You can see videos
of it all over the place. Game six forty five

Picture coming up after the top of the hour News.

(01:06:52):
Looking forward to talking to Jack. Today's topic letting children
vote bad idea over the phones. We'll go, let's se
what Frank's gott Hey, Frank, thanks for this morning, and
Happy Wednesday to you, sir Frank.

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
Five.

Speaker 7 (01:07:06):
Yeah, it's Craig.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (01:07:10):
Good teachers.

Speaker 18 (01:07:11):
Talking about that incident that happened in Cincinnati. There's a
video that shows that the guy in the red shirt
they got smacked, sucker punched that guy in the back
of the head first.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Oh really, it wasn't that that.

Speaker 9 (01:07:24):
Yeah, it wasn't that.

Speaker 18 (01:07:25):
The guy in the white shirt just smacked that guy first.
The guy in the red shirt sucker punched him first.
Then they got into an altercation. He come around the
front and him and then there's a red shirt guy
and a black shirt guy. They were sitting there and
they both started splinging on him. They tried to calm

(01:07:48):
it down. Then the guy in the white shirt walked
over and smacked the guy in the red shirt because
he sucker punched him first.

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
I got you. I had not seen that, and I'll
be very when someone puts it all together and provides
one neat, tidy, complete picture of what happened. But regardless
of who hit who first, no one can justify the
aftermath and the significant, severe beatdown that that guy got
from a crowd of people, many of whom we all

(01:08:16):
know were not involved in the initial altercation. That's the
scary part about it. That's where we had the societal
de evolution thing going on. Good point, though, Let's go
to see what Drew's got this morning. Andrew Pappis, Welcome
back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.

Speaker 5 (01:08:31):
Brian.

Speaker 10 (01:08:31):
Good show is usual, great show. I actually I love
the content. Just need to correct a thing I heard
someone say. One of the gentlemen that was arrested is
not out on a four.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
Hundred dollars bond currently. He was out on a four.

Speaker 10 (01:08:45):
Hundred dollars bond when he committed that act of violence downtown.
So my point mentioning that is a lot of people now,
especially on the left are saying, oh, this isn't political,
you know, don't make this political. And my comment is,
this is purely political because what has led to this,
this this feeling of no consequences and you know, mob

(01:09:10):
mentality downtown is entirely political. The liberal policies of these
liberal Democrat sponsored Democrat judges that are setting low bonds
or o R bonds has led to this feeling of
there are no consequences for breaking the law, and this
feeling of you know, do what you want, it doesn't matter,

(01:09:33):
and you know, to be honest, I don't know Chief.

Speaker 5 (01:09:36):
Fiji at all.

Speaker 10 (01:09:38):
However, some of the statements that she's made has made
this situation worse. I mean, Cincinnati is now worldwide news
and not in a way that you would want, and
her statements have really not helped the situation.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
I just I would like.

Speaker 10 (01:09:57):
People to remember when they go to the polls in
November and there are judges on the ballot such as
my good friend. I mean, I don't want to make
it too political, but Judge Berkowitz is one of the
greater judges out there, one of the best judges downtown.
You know, that's why, you know, endorsements matter. That's why

(01:10:18):
it's important for you to vote. And I think you're
finally starting to see some of the businesses downtown they
realize how how national and how widespread this news is.
And you know they've invested a lot of time, energy,
money downtown. Oh and they're coming out saying something needs
to be done. And one final thought, they're aftab if

(01:10:40):
you don't want this job, could you let somebody else
that does want to do it rather than using this
job as a stepping stone to your next career as
you've done in your political career. Obviously, you just by
your actions. You didn't attend the meeting the other day
that was planned them well, in a month in advance,
you would probably probably priorities attending that meeting, and and

(01:11:02):
and it all do fairness props the chief. She fieves
it had to be tough to walk in there knowing
the situation. But you know she did at least attend
that meeting. And you know, mister Gooden called her out
on it, but and I don't and and I think
he's correct. But you know, we elect these people to
make tough.

Speaker 5 (01:11:20):
Decisions, not the easy ones.

Speaker 10 (01:11:21):
It's really easy to go to a ribbon cutting for
a stadium, or to get on a street car and
go for a ride, or to put a bicycle helmet
and a mask on and ride a red bike around town.

Speaker 5 (01:11:32):
That's easy.

Speaker 10 (01:11:33):
The tough decisions are why we elect leaders, not the
easy ones. So just hope people remember in November we've
got we've got we've got elections coming up. And what
you're seeing downtown right now, what you're seeing, the lawlessness,
the disregard for consequences is purely political and a result
of liberal Democrat policies.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
And judge, that's it, period, and the story excellent points
full st Yes, you are right, Drew Pappus. You typically
are when you call on. It's why I appreciate hearing
from you, man of logical and reason. You are speaking
of men of logic and reason. Jack Avidan after the
top of the ur new is yeah, real quick here,
time you go through it all? Okay, So Jason Williams

(01:12:19):
from the Quirre can go ahead and read the op
ed how fighting Cincinnati could impact out of town Reds fans.
One of the things he said, what I care about
is us not be being viewed like New York City,
Chicago San Francisco, Seattle, and the other places where city
government has pushed public safety way down on the priority list.
Perception is critical. Perception drives decisions on events, which brings
tens of thousands of visitors annually from the suburbs and

(01:12:41):
hundreds of miles away. Perception helps drive a company's decision
to relocate, which can draw employees from around the globe.
Perception drives population growth. Yeah, and our current perception given
that we've got comments from Donald Trump Junior onto this
subject matter, Elon Musk with a follow up focusing on it.
Global reporting in papers from around the world are reporting

(01:13:05):
on this. We even have a Babylon B article. Yes,
Cincinnati made it to the satire page Babylon B. Thank
you Christopher Smithlan for forwarding this one headline since aint
police chief ask citizens not to film crimes next time
as it makes her look bad, with of course the
satirical article focusing on that. So, I think when you

(01:13:28):
made the Babylon B as a joke, then you become
a laughingstock and the perception that we've got a serious
problem downtown gets that much worse. Jack Avian in after
the top of the Hour News fall of my Americans
for prosperities, Donald Onniola who we can stick around Today's
top stories at the top of the hour.

Speaker 19 (01:13:48):
You just got to know what's happening in your world.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
Fifty five krc D talkstations. This report is seven oh six.

(01:14:16):
If any five care c the talk station, it's appointment
listening moment here on the above Parasee Morning Show because
every Wednesday we are blessed with the opportunity to speak
with Jack add in Big Picture Time with Jack, Adad
and Jack. Welcome back to the show, my friend. I
can't thank you enough for the time he's spelling my
listeners in me every week.

Speaker 20 (01:14:33):
Thanks for having me back. Today's topic is letting children vote. Yes,
that's actually happening. But if there's time, Brian, I'd also
appreciate it saying a word about this weekend's violence. Absolutely Cincinnati.
Everybody I know around the country is telling you that
this is what they're watching on CV and they're seeing
more of the video than we sometimes see here in town.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
To be to get ask for kids voting.

Speaker 20 (01:15:01):
We've been friends for years, but I'm not sure that
ever would have happened, Brian, if you had known me
at age sixteen, because I was a real jerk. Maybe
I haven't changed.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
I don't know, that's up to you to say.

Speaker 20 (01:15:13):
But back then I worked as a bell hop and
I made good money, but I never saved much less
invested a dime. My parents who survived the depression of
World War two. Dad served in the Navy. I didn't
think they cared about anything important the way great sages
like Bob Dylan and John Lennon did what I cared

(01:15:37):
about with sports, books, music and girls who rarely cared
much about me.

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
But you know, look, that's what you.

Speaker 20 (01:15:44):
Usually get when you're sixteen.

Speaker 5 (01:15:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:15:47):
Now, however, in the United Kingdom, they're going to allow
sixteen year old morons to vote. That's as cataclysmic a
decision Brian as US Democrats opening our borders to millions
of unvetted illegal immigrants. The aim for both our Democrats

(01:16:07):
and the UK's labor government is identical, to make sure
conservatives in both nations never win another election. That has
not worked here in America yet, because while many US
cities let illegals vote in local elections, our country still
says only citizens can vote in national elections, at least supposedly,

(01:16:30):
but if Democrats somehow win Congress and then the presidency again,
they undoubtedly will reopen the borders, grant amnesty to a
tensive millions of illegals already here, and ensure that Democrats
retain power forever, or at least until they screw up
again so disastrously that America turns to another president we

(01:16:53):
can only hope will be as capable and patriotic as
Donald Trump. The way Britain, as we've discussed, in their
finest hour, with Hitler overrunning Europe and about to invade, Britain,
grew up quickly and turned to the only man willing
to fight, Winston Churchill. Right now, though, the UK is

(01:17:14):
doing the exact opposite. Grown ups betraying their country in
order to scrounge for votes, are turning the future over
to children, children who have been brought up to despise
their last free market pro British Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher. Now,
it's true, Brian, that many of America's founders were young

(01:17:37):
when he drafted our constitution. James Madison was only thirty six.
He had been active since his twenties. Still, thirty six
is twenty years older than sixteen, and Madison consulted truly
sage spirits, including perhaps the greatest American at that time,
eighty one year old Benjamin Franklin. Madison also read authors

(01:17:59):
a lot older than that, Plutarch's biographies of ancient statesmen
John Locke Montesquieu, who called for strictly limited divided government.
Prior to World War II, the voting age in almost
all countries was twenty one or older. A couple of
US states, Georgia and then Kentucky, lowered that voting age

(01:18:22):
to eighteen so that veterans could vote. But it wasn't
until nineteen seventy one, at the height of America's youth movement,
that we adopted the twenty sixth Amendment. That youth movement
of the last sixty years has wrote vital progress from
civil rights, although most of the heavy lifting there was

(01:18:43):
done by the greatest generation to women's rights, gay rights.
But the youth movement also undermined American values the generations
that fought to preserve. For instance, America was built on
the opportunity to own private property, private businesses. That's why
millions upon millions of people from all over the world

(01:19:05):
came here and still do. The youth movement instead backed socialism,
bigger and bigger government, refusing to heed the key lesson
of history that we talk about so often. Power corrupts
and absolute power corrupts.

Speaker 1 (01:19:20):
Absolutely.

Speaker 20 (01:19:22):
These socialists don't even back the foundation of any democracy,
freedom of speech. May I remind everyone again Catherine Marr,
the chair of National Public Radio, saying, quote our reverence
for the truth might be a distraction that is getting
the way of finding common ground and getting things done.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
End quote.

Speaker 20 (01:19:46):
Spoken like a true youth movement Marxist and thank heaven,
Trump is cutting her taxpayer funding.

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
Not so great.

Speaker 20 (01:19:55):
Britain is in a tailspin. My daughter lives there, I
hear about it day. It'll only be accelerated by having
sixteen year olds decide her future. Age does not necessarily
bring wisdom exhibit A the auto pen Joe Biden. But
both the BRIT's decision to let children decide her future

(01:20:16):
and the Democrats attempt to have illegal immigrants decide ours,
these catastrophic decisions show why we cannot act like children.
We must find common ground, especially among Republicans, and keep
moving forward, even if it's not as fast or as
fully as we would like as wise, old Ben Franklin

(01:20:38):
warrant we must indeed all hang together, or assuredly we
shall all hanged separately. Now, if you want to Bryan Way,
and Bryan, I'd certainly love to hear I has interjected
comment or two observation. You mentioned the really comparative youth
of our founding fathers. But their brilliance is demonstrated by

(01:20:59):
the eloquence of their writing and their speeches. They were
brilliant young men, and that is a component that is
lacking in modern youth these days. They're not critical thinkers.
They haven't been taught, you know, from a traditional schooling
methodologies or you know, the you know, like Socratic method

(01:21:20):
going through historic documents, reading the great writers in Locke
and Hobbes and Socrates and Plato, and they're just disconnected
from all of that. Can you imagine trying to hand
pick a select group of you know, thirty or forty
twenty plus year olds that could create a document like
the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States,

(01:21:42):
or write the Bill of Rights. I mean, you'd be
hard pressed to find anybody with the intellectual capacity to
manage that.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
The most we could hope for is rules for radicals site.

Speaker 20 (01:21:52):
Yeah, I agree with you entirely, And speaking of radicals,
I mean, we don't know the politics that was behind this.
We know the fact of it. We've seen the video
and this downtown violence. Actually, what I'd like to talk
about is the talk you had yesterday, which people can
still hear on the podcast page with former Mayor Ken Blackwell,
one of my favorite people. For those who don't know,

(01:22:15):
Ken is black and a Republican. He and I had
Brian an almost identical talk as the one you had yesterday.
We had it on TV twenty four years ago, right
after the two thousand and one riots. Then, as now,
Ken worried that Cincinnati would be caught in a downward spiral,

(01:22:35):
with businesses fearing to operate, much less move here. He
also talked about middle class people of all races moving
out and how that would further polarize local politics. When
Amesley and I were lucky enough to move here in
nineteen ninety three and raise our two girls here, Cincinnati
and Hamilton County government flipped every couple of years between

(01:22:59):
Democrats and Republicans. The Republicans included folks like Ken and
Charlie Winburn, who was also black. Democrats included the Lukens,
David Mann, Todd portun all white moderates, and of course
the great Ted Berry. What an honor it was to
know him, Cincinnati's first black mayor, along with Mister Cincinnati

(01:23:22):
Jim Tarbell. They represented America's gift to America after an
era of boss government, including Boss Cox here in Cincinnati,
but they were in many cities. We gave America our
merit based, incorruptible charter Party. Cincinnati was called at that
time our country's best governed city, who's out in magazine

(01:23:44):
covers because everybody worked together back then, not anymore. That's
one reason I now live in Butler County. I'm not
proud of that. It's just the fact it's midway between
two far left Citiesinnati and Dayton, and Ohio has many more.
The man I pray will be our next governor. The

(01:24:07):
veg Ramaswami stresses that Ohio is competing for jobs with
states like Texas and Tennessee, not to mention Florida, which
boasts not only lower taxes but also lower crime and
far less racial friction. You and I have actively supported
Christopher Smitherman and Orlando Saza terrific minority candidates who try

(01:24:31):
to bridge this racial divide, not exploit it. While there
is still time, folks, I urge all of you to
join us.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
Well, stated Jack Adam as I've come to be used
to in words coming out of your mouth. Yeah, you know,
I'm reluctant to think there is a golden opportunity here
in November. There is a golden opportunity. There's so many
bad things going on under the current city administration that
is it hopefully will spur people to consider something else.

(01:25:02):
You know, you've got Steve Gooden running as a charter.
What a terrific guy. He is, brilliant, outspoken, He has
the city's best interest in mind. You listen to Corey Bowman.
He doesn't articulate any radical right wing policies. He clearly
cares about his own neighborhood and the other residents of
the city of Cincinnati. He is looking for a path
forward to a better community across the board. Not a

(01:25:25):
divisive guy at all. He's a man that's out there
looking for solutions. And at least he's out there where
in a hell's aft have Purvall been for the past.
I don't know how long he's hiding in his box
somewhere like Joe Biden did during his campaign. He couldn't
even make it in the aftermath of the weekend craziness
to this public safety meeting that was scheduled a month
in advance. He's out of town somewhere doing his I

(01:25:47):
don't know, working on some event up in Cleveland over
the weekend, the what was it called the Community Over Chaos,
A Path Forward brought to you by the Democratic Mayors Association.
I guess he's trying to pat his resume up there.
I don't know, but his absence is obvious and it
is not a good thing. So and then on top
of that, moving away from crime and his refusal to

(01:26:08):
acknowledge the police department or say anything by way of
words of support he along with other council members. Then
he got his treatment of all the communities in the
Cincinnati area with the connected communities zoning mandate, and then
of course stabbing the residents of Hyde Park and Bond
Hill in the back by issuing a waiver for those
particular communities to healed well connected developers, ignoring the will

(01:26:30):
of the people. So with all that stacked on top
of each other, you think, you know what, maybe we
are deserving of a change. Maybe we should consider a
different direction as a city for the good of the city.
And boy, don't you wish? And I wish that there
were still people like that, like Tarbell and some of
the others. Democrats they may be, but at least they
were sensible, reasonable, common sense Democrats that weren't interested in

(01:26:53):
stirring the pot of division, but for looking for reasonable
solutions and being willing to work across the aisle with
members that weren't in their own party.

Speaker 20 (01:27:01):
You know, some are Republicans, but a lot of Democrats
have national aspirations because on the local level they let
these cities runt and then they kick the problems up
to big government in Washington. Yeah, which we'll hand out
money that we print and that we have to pay
back an interest that's killing us. And they don't take

(01:27:22):
care of the problems that we have right here at home.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
That's right, you know, real quick, here, Jack, I can't
remember which politician there was, some Democrat representative I believe,
I think from New York or New Jersey lamenting the
salt tax and the reduction of the salt tax, claiming
that what they did was they forced people to move
out of our states because they limited that salt tax,
you know, forty thousand dollars, and it's going to drop

(01:27:47):
back down again. They're the ones that created the reality
of the high taxation that requires a salt tax, so
they can write off the outrageous taxes to even operate
as a state and have people that are willing to
even stay there. There's your federal government solution to a
locally created problem.

Speaker 20 (01:28:03):
Insane people like Micha lahl Are, a New York Republican
who you know, wanted to support, did support keeping the
sall tax at forty thousand dollars. He said, that's the
only way I can get reelected. That's what he was
really saying. So it's it's a tough situation. But you know,
we weren't in that situation. We were working along pretty
well for a while and then this city got radical

(01:28:25):
and we just have to reverse it. But there's not
much more time. If it's not already too late, I
don't think it is. We just have to get behind
the reasonable candidates of both parties, all three parties.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
Amen Jack Adden It is a distinct pleasure, and my
listening audience loves hearing from you. I get quite a
few emails chiming in on that you're brilliant and you
know you're always welcome here in the morning show. I'll
look forward to another informed discussion next Wednesday, and I
hope you and your beautiful bride have a wonderful week
and weekend. Thanks so much, Pal, We'll talk soon, my
friend seven twenty one. Right now for you, five K

(01:28:58):
City Talk station, it's hot, it's human. You have a
cold front coming in, but you still should call USA
Insulation for the free inspection and free quote under insulated
and uninsulated homes that will be You know, the mid
seventies was kind of when the codes kicked in that
required some insulation. So I use my daughter's house as
an illustration because we got the phone for their home
as a housewarming gift. They only had like R twelve

(01:29:19):
in the exterior walls of their late seventies build home.
Totally insufficient. I mean by modern standards, of course, but
you know that old insulation deteriorates over time, so it's
not even providing you with R twelve in goes the
highest our value phone on the market along with that
old insulation. So you can do that. And if your
pre seventies you don't have anything in the exterior walls,

(01:29:41):
get the best USA's premium phone ninety nine bucks a month,
interest free. Many listeners have saved more than that on
their monthly energy bill, savings, guaranteed savings, and increased comfort,
noticeably improved comfort the very day they install it. So
call them. It is a free quote and free inspection.
You know great you're gonna have is he didn't make
the call sooner five one three three eight one three

(01:30:03):
sixty two six five one three three eight one foam online.
You'll find him at USA Insulation dot net.

Speaker 2 (01:30:10):
Fifty five KRC our Iheartradium Music Festival, Capital Ones.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
Coming up on seven thirty here if if you about
KR see the talk station. I'm a very happy Wednesday
to you. One hour from now. Judge Ennita Paula Tana'm
back from vacation, preceded by Judge Betsy Sunneman from Domestic
Relations Court saying curfews don't work. In the meantime, it's
that time a week we get to talk with Americans
for prosperities Donovan and Nel Donovan. Welcome back to the program, Sir.

(01:30:40):
It's always good hearing from you, Brant. Always a pleasure
to be with you on Wednesday morning. And I know
since uh uh Columbus they're on recess. You guys at
AFP aren't doing anything. You kick your feet up and
you don't do jack squat when they're on vacation, do you, No,
not at all.

Speaker 19 (01:30:56):
You know it's when there's not what it's not policy
season or pulse season. We're just we're just chilling on
the beach and in a good life.

Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
I guess no rest for the weary at AFP. They're
they're trying to rally, rally every one of my listening
audience and everybody across the great state of Ohio to
get engaged, even by doing just something small. Because going
back to my analogy from a con law professor, a
fleet urinating in the Pacific, in terms of increasing the volume,
every little bit counts. So baby steps are very important.

(01:31:28):
Even small ones can go a long way in large volumes. Absolutely.

Speaker 19 (01:31:33):
So, yeah, we're you know cap Square and Capitol Hill.

Speaker 1 (01:31:36):
May not be in action right now.

Speaker 19 (01:31:40):
You know, there's not an impending state or federal election.
But you know what fuels our operation, that makes us
so impactful in those moments is our grassroots army. The
folks like your listeners, Brian, who you know come alongside us,
whether it's sending an email to their state representative to
override wines vetos, to members who knocked doors with us

(01:32:03):
in support of a candidate to help flip the balance
of power in Washington. It's the small steps each one
of those folks takes, and it's why we've launched this
one Small Step campaign. I've been on talking about it before,
but we're going to beat this drum all the way
through next year like we always do, because we've got
a really important date coming up. It's America's two hundred
fiftieth birthday next year, and we're capitalizing on that to

(01:32:24):
help drive a renewed sense of patriotism and drive folks
back and inspire them to take action just like our
founding fathers did when they started this great nation.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Well, and there are a variety of ways people can
do that you mentioned probably one of the easiest ones.
Just take a few moments of time and contact your
elected officials, your representatives, your senators, even you want to
send the governor an email knock yourself out. But it's
an easy way to do it. And I've had lots
of conversation with you. In a lot of conversations with politicians,
they really don't get that much by way of communications

(01:32:58):
from their constituent. I mean, you know, if they get
fifteen emails on one subject that's like a banner day
or something, they're like, oh my god, what's going on
out there that I got so much? And you're thinking, like,
wait a second. You represent thousands and thousands of people,
and a big day for you is getting a week
for you? Is getting like fifteen people reaching out on
one issue that I mean that that speaks volumes to

(01:33:19):
the opportunity for my listening audience to help out.

Speaker 19 (01:33:23):
Oh it's so true. I mean, we had so we've
had so many members throughout this session. When we put
an action alert out on property text issue or on
it rains regulatory issue, or on moving on to a
flat tax. So many members will tell us when we're
when we're talking to them, and we'll bring activists to
the state House and we'll say, actually, you know, I
got emails from AFP and activists like you it's good

(01:33:44):
to actually see some of you go in person to
know it's not just Donovan sending me a lot of
emails right right, shakingly. That stuff has a real impact.
And because yeah, you know they can they know, right,
their staff read those. Their staff either send them onto
the members or some rise it for the members, depending
on sort of how that office operates. Either way, when

(01:34:04):
they get a lot of emails on a particular piece
of legislation or on a topic, yeah, they that sends
up a signal.

Speaker 1 (01:34:10):
Right, it's a radar for them.

Speaker 19 (01:34:12):
And because it's not just them receipt you're representative sieving it,
it's representatives across the state receiving it. And so they talk, right,
and then they realize, hey, this is something that people
care about. We got to do something here. It's powerful stuff, Brian.
And it's just again, it's simple, small steps that have
different levels of impact that ultimately result in substantial change. Ideally,

(01:34:33):
if you're working with us towards freedom and liberty for
the better of the state of Ohio, well.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
And Americans for Prosperity has the tools to help people
accomplish these quote unquote small steps. Because I'm looking at
your site right now, Americans for Prosperity dot org. There's
a click that you can link onto the small Step
campaign and ask you the question, how would you like
to get involved? I'd like to, And then here's some
options for you to help to put together community events,
build strong community coalition groups, speak out on social media,

(01:35:00):
politicians accountable, contact my representative. We already addressed that, talk
to voters at the doors, call voters about issues and candidates.
I'd like to meet with the team member of AFP
if you want to do one of these, Like I'd
love to put together a community EVMP. I don't know,
I don't know where to even think about starting to
do that. You guys will help.

Speaker 19 (01:35:17):
Well, yeah, that's one of the things I always you know,
I'll talk to local groups, especially this time of year,
where they're working to fight local issues or campaigns, and
I'll say, well, you know, before you even get before
AFP as an organization, even puts its label on it
or starts getting involved, how about we just grab some coffee,
some pastries, and let's just talk about what your plan is.

Speaker 1 (01:35:36):
We've got full time.

Speaker 19 (01:35:38):
Staff, right, We're blessed to be staffed with some of
Ohio's best community organizers, political operatives, conservative leaders who are
here to help folks who are working on the issues
that they care about, right, folks like Adam Bowling and
Southwest Ohio is consistently meeting with different groups. George brunhaman,
I know a good friend of the show. You know,
we sit down with these groups and a lot of

(01:35:59):
these a lot of the biggest impact happens from these
local leaders to see a problem in their community, they
want us, they want to tackle it and solve it,
and so they come together to get it done. Our
team stands ready to help provide that that mentorship, that
support so that you, as a listener the Brian Thomas Show, right,
can go out and be that leader, be that change
maker in your community so that we can again move

(01:36:21):
this state to a more bolder, better Buckeye state.

Speaker 1 (01:36:25):
Like we talk about. And if you don't want to
be a community leader and an outspoken advocate for it,
there's an easy solution there for a baby step. Just
contact your elected official and let your voice be known.
This property tax thing. I had a post show interview
with Bill sidechyesterday, who's on that committee to analyze, you know,
the issues the Governor's Committee on Property Tax So we'll
air that one maybe tomorrow. I'm not quite sure, but

(01:36:47):
I brought up the issue. You know, we have this
repeal property tax in Ohio ballot initiative that may change
the constitution in the United States, and that won't be
on the ballot until next year, looks like. But you know,
I'm not sure where AFP is on that conceptually. But
if they don't act, and if they don't get something
substantive done by way of property tax relief legislative wise,

(01:37:09):
or however they accomplish it, that's going to be a
real train wreck if we all vote to get rid
of property taxes. I think it's it's interesting as a
concept to discuss it, but I think his figure was, well,
we're gonna have to come up with twenty three billion
dollars in lost property tax revenue to fund all the
schools and all these things that benefit from property tax.
And I mentioned the sales tax during the conversation. He said,

(01:37:31):
we'd have to raise a sales tax to like twenty
cents on the dollar to make up for the lost volume.
So that doesn't seem like an attainable solution. But it's
going to be a real problem if they don't get
something right accomplished and we end up eliminating it, it's
going to be chaotic.

Speaker 19 (01:37:48):
No, I think that's right, and that's that's a very
real threat. That's sort of damnically hanging over yeah, stay
of Ohio's head right now. But you know, I think
it's also important to point out the legislature has been
doing a lot of this work.

Speaker 1 (01:38:03):
There are a number of.

Speaker 19 (01:38:04):
Legislative vehicles that have been introduced that would actually both
provide immediate relief and structural reform. They will keep this
problem from reoccurring. Unfortunately, though, I'll point a finger blame here.
It's the local political subdivision lobbyists, all of the school
board officials, teachers, unions, township officials, village all of these folks. Right,

(01:38:27):
We've got thirty nine hundred political subdivisions in the state
of Ohio, each one of those represented by a board
of elected officials, paid elected officials ranging from three to
seven members, not to mention the administrators and all of
the bureaucrats that exist within those thirty nine hundred political
subdivisions across the state of Ohio. Those are literally tens

(01:38:47):
of thousands of paid taxpayer, paid lobbyists who win your
state representatives, your state senators go to do their work.
Those lobbyists descend upon Columbus and put that pressure on it,
say we want the status quo. Do not make change,
do not harm us, do not give the taxpayers and
voters an edge when it comes to deciding whether if.

Speaker 1 (01:39:11):
Their taxes are going to go up or not.

Speaker 19 (01:39:12):
We like unvoted tax increases on our citizens because we
need that, Bryan. That's the problem. And the legislature is
acting and has been courageous and doing work. And when
they get a couple of things in the state budget
and the governor vetos them and puts a working group together, well,
if we got to get something done, we've set that
back at best three months from reform happening. And so

(01:39:34):
you can't both say you you know, some of these
folks like Bill Sites, can't both say hey, we've got
this threat and pending, we got to act and then
also be cool with the actions the governor has taken
to veto and stop any reform from happening. So the
problem in Ohio, in simple terms, is we have too
dang much local government, local accessible government is good, but

(01:39:56):
we have thirty nine hundred political subdivisions in the state
of Ohio.

Speaker 1 (01:39:59):
It's the fifth most in the nation.

Speaker 19 (01:40:01):
That's the problem, and if we want to really fix
the system, we got to kind of address that glaring
issue somewhere along the line.

Speaker 1 (01:40:10):
You can help out. Every little bit counts. Americans for
Prosperity dot org. Start there, click on the link and
you will find yourself on the right page to help
make a difference. AFP is there to help you accomplish
the goal. And as a team, a large team of
a lot of squeaky wheels, maybe we can get some
effective work done here in the state for the benefit

(01:40:31):
of all of us. Donovan and Neil, Americans for Prosperity,
keep up the hard work and you're at it even
when Columbus is on vacation. Hey man, that's right. Always
looking forward to having you on the program. So keep
up the wonderful work, and I again will encourage my

any way they can always appreciate. Thanks, Brian, take care

Speaker 1 (01:43:31):
The talk station seven forty eight right now five per
C talk station. If you care to comment, I have
time to call five one three, seven four nine fifty
five hundred eighty two to three talk after the top
of the r news. Just Judge Betsy Sunderman curfews don't
work some up of what she is going to comment.
One says about taking the red bikes and the electric

(01:43:52):
scooters off the streets, as well that it had had
any impact over this past weekend anyhow, looking forward to
hearing from the judge after the News Judge Annaopoltana speaking
of judges back to back Can the President impose taxes?
That article comes out tonight. I got a copy of it.
Early relates to the question constitutional question which is pending
in the courts, as Donald Trump have the ability to

(01:44:13):
unilaterally impose these tariffs that he's been negotiating. You know, honestly,
I feel really concerned about if he can't, then does
that unring the bell of all the negotiations he's done.
He seems to have made some good progress with many
countries out there, so keep your fingers crossed it. Maybe

(01:44:35):
they'll stay in place. But the judge will comment on that.
And then fast forward to eight forty five, looking forward
to having Clamont County Prosecutor Mark to Colvey on to
talk about one of the more miserable pieces of excrement
who's just been found guilty by a jerry of twelve
ninety three counts of gross sexual imposition child pornography. I

(01:44:59):
think it's just all pandering, gross sexual imposition rape. Five
day jerry trial. They got a conviction. This miserable piece
of excrement represented himself a trial, which means Charlie Theiederman

(01:45:19):
who molested these children, convicted of it. Now was the
one that was questioning the victims. Can you imagine the
horror of having to look at that guy face to face,
the man who molested you and recorded it. Apparently, and
according to the reporting, we'll get the details on this

(01:45:41):
the next hour, he recorded every single sexual abuse act
he was charged with, and apparently all of that, all
those assault videos were played during the trial. Some terrible
people out there in the world, speaking of which, so far,

(01:46:05):
three of the suspects from the beatdown over the weekend
have been charged. They caught Montianez Merriweather, he's thirty four
from South cummings Ville. Also Decaira Vernon, who's twenty four
from Evanston. Those two were booked yesterday afternoon into the
Hamlin County Justice Center on charges of filonius assault and
aggravated riot. Third spec suspect picked up early this morning,

(01:46:30):
Jermaine Matthews, thirty nine, booked into the jail this morning
at one six am on the charges of aggravated riot
and assault. Merriweather identified on the video punching the victim
while co defendants stomped on the victim in the head
with his foot those are the details in the court
records so far. Vernon the woman struck the victim in

(01:46:51):
the face with a closed fist prior to the victim
becoming unconscious from the attack, and apparently the charges have
not yet been articulated regarding the Matthews arrest so far
three of them though arrested. They will be in Hamilton
County Municipal Court this morning at nine am. If you're
not doing anything, and I don't know, maybe this will

(01:47:11):
turn the tide and maybe everyone will join together in
unity in favor of the police department and better police
presence and more police and support of the police and
the work that they do on behalf of this residence
of the city of Cincinnati. Joe Strekker forwarded this one
needed just this morning. Cincinnati police now investigating the shooting

(01:47:32):
of a transgender woman. Hmm, maybe the LGBTQ plus RSWXYZ
group will all join together in the name of stopping
violence in downtown Cincinnati. Obviicusly showed up but over the
Rhine two o'clock this morning. They determined the shooting occurred
in the two hundred block a Stark Street, but figured

(01:47:52):
out the victim managed to get to a business on
Elm Street for help. Someone there called nine one one,
According to Sergeant Philip Buccinos with Fox nineteen locally, that's
where they found her, suffering from the gunshot wound to
her neck and leg. Taken to the hospital, expected to recover,
though which I suppose is goodness. No arrests have yet
been made and no suspect information release. So add that

(01:48:13):
to the list of violent crimes going on in the
city of Cincinnati and as so far as that Montes Merriweather,
this has gotten the FOP a little upset, posting on
the CINCINNTI FOP Queen City Lodge Number sixty nine website
Facebook page. Montes Merriweather one of the three that was
picked up, going to be in court this morning. FOP
asks why was he out? He had been indicted on

(01:48:40):
July tenth, just a couple three weeks ago for receiving
stolen property, weapons under disability, improper transportation of a firearm
and CCW was a result of his arrest by the
Street Crimes Task Force and according to the FOP handed

(01:49:00):
down a four thousand dollars bond which was paid at
ten percent, so for four hundred dollars. This guy weapons
under disability charge. Judge William Mallory responsible for that one.
And Sarah Herringer is going to be on the program tomorrow.
You may recall that her husband was the one that

(01:49:21):
was violently stabbed to death in the apartment and over
the rhine. Should be on the program tomorrow for a
full hour. And she issued a statement yesterday, and she
went through by judges, all the judges and the ridiculous
either no bond or early release that they issued for
some pretty dangerous and violent people, and she just had

(01:49:42):
a whole litany of them. This goes on all the time.
I mean just echoing some comments from others that we've
talked to. If you don't have a justice system, judges
who are tough on crime to serve as an example
and an illustration of what's going to happen to everybody
else out there. If they're dumb enough to get no
beatdown like this, if they're dumb enough to spray bullets
into a crowd of people, a bunch of strangers, they're

(01:50:06):
going to serve some serious time. That's what we need.
We need better judges. Elections have consequences. We have an
opportunity to we now in November, to spread the word
about that and make informed decisions when we go in
cast our votes. And I'm reluctant to be optimistic that
we can, you know, change directions in downtown Cincinnati, very reluctant,

(01:50:32):
but man, and in my years unready here, in nineteen
years of being on the fifty five Kursy Morning Show,
I've never seen a better opportunity for Republicans or the
Charter rights to actually get elected than we have now.
Given all the problems that have been demonstrated by the
current administration. They're failure to attend to the needs of
their constituents. They're failure to follow the will of their constituents,
like when it comes to zoning, the crime problem they

(01:50:54):
all seem to want to ignore, and the choices in
terms of their allocation of resources in the form of dollars.
They're all behind the scenes. They're all about green New
Deal stuff, They're all about the environment, They're all about
green projects. A lot of money is going in that direction,
but that's not going to do a wit'sworth of good
when you're trying to draw people into the city. If

(01:51:15):
you've got a terrible crime problem, and your infrastructure is
falling apart. Judge Sunderman after the news, I sure hope
you can stick around. Still be called the twelve Day War.
I suppose that's what we were nicknaming it already. Another
update at the top of the hour, the use of
military course fifty five r. See the talk station your

(01:51:37):
summer pocket knife of information. That's the only way to
stay for fifty five krs. The talk station eight oh five.
You're fifty five car CD talk station. Happy Wednesday. The
return of Judge Ennital Paul two. At the bottom of
the hour. He's back from vacation. I'll shore here from
Paimlin County Prosecutor Mark to Kulby did a great job

(01:51:58):
getting this miserable pervert convicted child molester. He was ninety
three counts to get the details on that. What a
wonderful coup or victory that is for the entire community.
And elections have consequences, and sometimes we make great choices.
One of the great choices the city made to Judge
Betsy Sunderman. She was elected the Domestic Relation Court in
November twenty two. Prior to that, served as a Hamilin

(01:52:20):
County Probate Court magistrate for five years on SINCEI City
Council for two years. You all remember that under she's
also an assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor for thirteen years in
the juvenile dependency drug forwards, your municipal in Appella divisions,
lots of experience and a woman who knows what she's doing.
Welcome in the morning show, Judge, Betsy's sundyman. It's a
pleasure to have you on today.

Speaker 3 (01:52:39):
Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 1 (01:52:40):
I always enjoy talking to you. So the summary of
our subject matter in three simple words. Curfews don't work. Now,
Can I just guess that maybe that's because no one
enforces the curfew. The police don't bother picking people up.
They violate curfew because it's a waste of their time
because nothing ever happens to the ones they pick up.
I don't know, Judge. That's why we've got you on

(01:53:01):
today exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
So about three weeks ago, I was in Indianapolis with
my little girls. We went to see Wicked, the show,
and there was a lot of crime that night right
around our hotel where we stayed, and juveniles were shooting
at each other, and Indianapolis put in a juvenile curfield,
and they started enforcing it right away, and you know,

(01:53:25):
citing juveniles, citing their parents. And then about a week later,
Cincinnati had a juvenile curfield and I just knew it
would not be enforced the same way, and I have
been correct. So our city has a tendency to create
these laws so that people feel good. So people like me, oh,

(01:53:46):
I feel good because now they're taking care of it.
Now they're creating a law, right, But then by not
enforcing it, then the people who don't like the law
are happy. So it's a win win for the city.
People feel good on both sides. Right. Yeah, last week
there was a press conference. The city manager said, we're
considering enforcing.

Speaker 1 (01:54:07):
The the operative word enforcing.

Speaker 3 (01:54:12):
So she said, you were considering it, So that means
that they weren't enforcing it before, right, So why create
a law that you're not going to enforce, So she said,
we're considering enforcing it. She said, our plan is that
if the police find a juvenile out after curfew, they're
going to bring the juvenile to a curfew center. And

(01:54:33):
she said the curfew center, I don't want to exactly
say where it is, but it's with one of our
trusted partners. So I don't know if it's the rec
center or what. I have no idea. And then once
the kids are brought to the curfew center, their parents
are called, and then the parents are asked to come
pick them up. I can only imagine a lot of

(01:54:54):
the parents would be very wary getting a call from
a police officer saying, hey, we'd love to talk to
you about your child who was breaking the curfew. I'm
guessing a lot of the parents would not want to
go to that meetup, right. I also know from talking
to police officer friends of mine that they've been told
that even if they can't get a hold of the parents,

(01:55:17):
they're supposed to release the juvenile. And so what's the
point of that, right, So there's absolutely no consequence. So
this reminds me of when I was on city council
during COVID and they made a mask mandate in the city.
Remember that, Yeah, yes, So they made a mask mandate

(01:55:41):
and I had a lot of questions about it. I said, Okay,
what happens if someone goes to a restaurant and they
refuse to wear a mask? And in the city said, well,
this will just empower business owners to tell people to
wear a mask. And I said, okay, and then what
if the person still refuses to wear a mask? And

(01:56:03):
they said, oh, well, I guess the business owner could
call the health department and then the health department could
tell the person that they should wear a mask. And
I said, okay, Then what happens if the person won't
wear a mask? And they said, well, they said, I
guess we could send someone from the health department to
the restaurant and then they could tell the person face

(01:56:23):
to face to wear a mask. And I said, okay,
So then what happens when the person doesn't want to
wear a mask? And they said, well, we don't want
to find anyone, we don't want to arrest anyone. We
really just want to encourage everyone. And I said, okay,
so for the record, nothing will happen to anyone who refuses.
And they said no, no, no, no, no, no, that's
not what I said. That's exactly what you're saying. I mean,

(01:56:46):
why have a law with no consequences? That's kind of
where we're huting with all this stuff, right it sure is?
Why dood you be curfew? If there is zero consequences?
I know with my kids, if I don't punish them
for something, you know, they're going to keep doing it
over and over. I mean it happens with grown ups too.
With criminals, if you don't punish them, they just keep

(01:57:06):
escalating their behavior, right exactly, All.

Speaker 1 (01:57:09):
Right, let me ask you this question. The curfew is
on the books. It says there's a curfew, right right.
It's a law, right, yes, So the police are bound
to uphold the law. Now, let's just assume, for the
sake of discussion, police Chiefdiji is engaged and cared, and

(01:57:30):
she told her officers, you need to make this a priority.
We're not going to engage in prosecutorial discretion and let
people off, which police can do all the time. It's
like a police officer pulling you over for going eighty
five and a fifty five and says, listen, you're going fast.
Nobody's on the roads, so I'm going to give you
a warning and let you go. You broke the law,
but under these circumstances, I'll let you go. Into this
particular case, they're saying, there's a blanket, we're not going

(01:57:52):
to enforce it, issue or decree out there because the
law is still on the books, So it seems to
be the police department could do what it wants, could
enforce the law that's on the books, and while nothing
might become of it or happen to it, but they
need to start cracking down at least to send a
message out there that you're gonna get picked up and
you're gonna have to deal with the consequences. As little

(01:58:12):
and small as they may be, at least it's going
to be a headache and hassle for the kid and
their family.

Speaker 3 (01:58:19):
Right, But if a police officer cites or arrests a
child or a parent for this, then the police chief
would not like that because the police chief told them
not to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:58:29):
Okay, that's where I was looking for. That's when I
see that. That's why I kind of qualified. But I said,
if she cared and she issued this edictor mandate, So
apparently Fiji has already told her officers to ignore the
curfew law.

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
Well, someone high up CPD has told them not to
arrest to release the children if their parents are unavailable.
But even if she Fiji decided she wanted to enforce it,
then the city manager would not like that and the
city manager has the ability to pick a new police

(01:59:01):
chief right well, and even if the city manager wanted
to do it, the city manager is hired by the mayor,
so he could pick a new city manager. So this
all goes back to the mayor. The mayor controls the
city manager, who controls the police chief, who controls the
police department. So if you're not doing what the mayor wants,

(01:59:21):
I mean, you're going to be replaced.

Speaker 1 (01:59:23):
Well, wouldn't that be a great story for local news
to report on Fiji wants to enforce the law that's
on the books. Mayor after per Will wants to ignore
and pretend like the law isn't there. City manager law
wants to ignore the law and pretend like it's not there.
We got a problem with youth out on the streets
and gangs committing violent acts over the weekend and in

(01:59:43):
the middle of the night. They could be picked up.
There's a law in the books that would allow for that.
But look, yes, she tried police chief Fiji and they
started enforcing it, and she lost her job because there's
a law in the books that she was enforcing. That
wouldn't make for good copy for the city manager or
for the mayor, would it. No, exactly, Well, they should
start doing their damn job then and tell those two

(02:00:05):
to go to hell.

Speaker 3 (02:00:07):
Right, But don't you think it's interesting. I mean, we've
kind of become a national.

Speaker 13 (02:00:13):
Right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:00:13):
And I've seen all these memes and joke articles about
our police department, and I find it interesting that Chief
Fiji is the target of all of this. I think,
I know that was funny, it.

Speaker 1 (02:00:29):
Was hilarious, but we made the battle.

Speaker 3 (02:00:31):
I mean, I know it's very exciting, but it's interesting
that Fiji is the one being pushed forward to do
all the press conferences. She's kind of the spokesperson for
all of this instead of the city manager and the mayor.
It's very smart of the mayor to code the chief

(02:00:52):
as the target of all this. You don't see all
these memes and jokes about the mayor because he's not
really responding to every thing. By making the police the target,
this is just another like, oh, look how horrible police
are kind of narrative, right, instead of look how horrible
the city administration or the mayor is. Well, yeah, it's

(02:01:15):
not fair.

Speaker 1 (02:01:16):
The devil really is in the details. As you've explained
all this, and I'll go back to the fact, they
say it again, we got a law in the books
that's just not being enforced at the directive of apparently
the city manager and the mayor. That should be the
focus of some of the nationwide reporting. Why aren't they
enforcing the curfew law in the City of Cincinnati. Things
get a lot better as far as crime is concerned,
and they quit pointing in Fiji, who's just doing what

(02:01:37):
she let her lords and masters have told her to do.
If I was, that's.

Speaker 3 (02:01:40):
Interesting too, because last week I saw it looked like
a city council meeting. I saw a clip where the
mayor was there and he brought Chief Fiji in and
he said, there's been a lot of talk that the
city has been telling you not to enforce laws. And
he said, I just want to put this to rest.
So and then he kind of crossed his arms and

(02:02:01):
he looked down and he said, so. He said, have
I or any of the elected officials up here ever
instructed you to not enforce a law? And Chief Theji
said absolutely not. And my immediate reaction was, of course
not it was the city manager who told her that,
because that's the chain of command. AFTAB tells it to

(02:02:22):
the city manager. City manager tells it to her. So
it's interesting because he said, there are all these rumors
that the city is telling you this, but he said,
let me narrow down the field of people for this question,
just me and just the city council people up here.
Have any of us personally told you not to enforce laws?
And this happened when he first took office. There was

(02:02:44):
a big raid out in mount Airy Forest. They usually
do a raid every year, I think, and they round
up people for prostitution in mount Airy Forest. And then
once the list of people came out, all the people
who were arrested, I think there.

Speaker 19 (02:03:00):
Was a.

Speaker 3 (02:03:02):
Prominent person on that list, and I think that was
shut down pretty quickly, and the mayor then, i'm assuming
through the city manager, told the police, you know, we're
not going to do these raids anymore. You're not going
to publish these lists. You're not going to do that.
So the police are being disabled by the mayor and
the city manager because they're saying, don't enforce this, don't

(02:03:24):
enforce that. But then all the wrath comes down on
the police for not enforcing anything.

Speaker 1 (02:03:31):
Yeah. Well, and you couple that with when they do
actually engage in law enforcement and enforce let's say, moving
away from curfew, any really any other law. They go
through the revolving door of the judicial system, which takes
the morale out of the police officers, Like, why do
I bother? I got all this paperwork I've got to do,
and nothing is going to happen to the perp that

(02:03:51):
I just got done picking up. It's a pointless gesture.
It's like they're just like, just hell with a you know,
officer so and so, I'm just going to ignore this
one because nothing's gonna happen. It's a waste of our time.

Speaker 3 (02:04:03):
Right, Well, why would you step in to arrest someone
who might hurt you, might sue you, all these things
when it's all going to result in nothing. The person's
going to get out on an OAR bond and then
even if they get convicted, they're going to be given probation. Right.
I mean, this whole juris EMD situation has completely gotten

(02:04:28):
out of control. I don't know if your listeners know
the difference there, but like electric monitoring, that's when someone
is on the box, they have the box on their
ankle and it's hooked up to their home and they
can't go within, they can't go more than a certain
number of feet away from their home. It's like house arrest.
Sometimes they can go out to work or something. And
then juris is kind of the opposite. It's anchored on

(02:04:53):
the victim, the victim's phone and if at alleged perpetrator
goes near the victim's phone, it sets off an alarm,
so the victim is notified. But these just they aren't happening.
Usually after court, the jodge will say, okay, you get jurists,
walk downd approbation a couple of blocks away and go

(02:05:14):
get hooked up with the box. And then people just
go home. And then I mean, shouldn't we be walking
people down there to get it if they're not doing it?
Or I mean, that would be like saying I'm sentencing
you to jail. Just walk over to the jail and
go serve your time, right, it would do that.

Speaker 1 (02:05:34):
It's a system.

Speaker 3 (02:05:37):
Yeah. I mean, I have a family friend who was
recently the victim of a felony and the court very
violent felony. The court ordered an O R bond, which
is shocking to me. But luckily at least they said
juris if requested. So my friend, the crime victim called
and said, yes, I want juris. I want this person

(02:05:58):
to have the box so I know if this's near me.
And then my friend called every day for about a
week and a half and they kept saying and he said,
you know, is it happening, what's going because he's scared,
and they kept saying, I don't, we'll look into it.
We'll have someone call you back every single day. I mean,
what are crime victims supposed to do when they don't

(02:06:20):
know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (02:06:22):
That is a complete breakdown of the system right there.
That's appalling. I'm not quite sure how to respond to that.
That seems like such an easy fix. Get an officer
to walk the perp down and get the damn ankle
monitor installed and don't let him go until it's installed.

Speaker 20 (02:06:39):
Right.

Speaker 3 (02:06:39):
And now, there's been talk of moving some of our
courts out to different places. I mean a lot places.
That would be a lot cheaper for the taxpayers, which
is good. But if you move one court away from
the probation building, then like let's say one court goes
out to Norwood or something, then you're telling people after court, okay,

(02:07:00):
go get your box. You gotta you know, take two
buses downtown, or you gotta pay for parking. I mean,
who's gonna do that.

Speaker 1 (02:07:08):
Maybe we need a streetcar line hooking the court up
with the probation department.

Speaker 3 (02:07:14):
Sorry, oh, that's a great idea. We need We need
like mobile E M D people who could just go
to court and sit there and just you know, put
the box on. Well, no, but they need to hook
it up at your house and everything. It's more than that.

Speaker 1 (02:07:25):
Yeah, I understand it's more complicated than the simplicity, boiled
down version. But if they if again, if it's an
honor system to go hook the ankle monitor up, then
obviously this is not going to happen in all cases.
This is terrible. Well, but have you Betsy's sunnamon to
bring it to everybody's attention. Maybe we can start demanding
some changes and get this information out there to hold
our officials accountable, to change the system so it actually

(02:07:46):
works and provides the protection that we expect of it.
Judge Betsy's so thank you so much for bringing this
to everybody's attention. I truly appreciate what you do. You're
an excellent judge. And you served our community well and
I appreciate that, and I know my listeners do also well.

Speaker 3 (02:08:01):
Thanks for having me and let me tell everybody about it.

I was in Berlin, Zurich, and a week at Lake
Como was just beautiful, just lovely, so all the friends
I wanted to see. It was a great, great vacation.
But after a while you think that's time to get
productive again.

Speaker 1 (02:10:19):
Get back to the farm and get some work done. Anyhow,
it's a pleasure having me back in the program, and
I thoroughly enjoyed, as I always do, your column. Can
the President impose taxes? The question asked that to lead
into the column, and this boils down to a conversation
and illegal analysis of tariffs trus This is.

Speaker 16 (02:10:39):
Going to be argued tomorrow, Thursday, July thirty first, before
the Federal Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in DC.
There will not be an empty seat in the House.
They've already had to put screens up in other rooms.
There's such an interest in it. The belief OFNGST those

(02:11:01):
of us in the legal community that monitor these things
is that the lower court will be upheld and the
tariffs will the declaration that the tariffs are unconstitutional because
only Congress can impose a tax, and a tariff is
a tax, no matter what Donald Trump calls it will
be the law of the land. This will have an
unbelievable effect on the president's daily negotiations.

Speaker 13 (02:11:25):
Yes, now they're not going to rule from the bench.
It's the end of July.

Speaker 16 (02:11:30):
I would guess a decision wouldn't come out until after
Labor Day.

Speaker 1 (02:11:35):
And presumably if it does uphol the lower court's opinion,
which was these are taxes and he does not have
the power to do this, the likelihood of appeal is strong.
They're going to end up in the Supreme Court on this.
On the chance of a graining of a retisserciaria on this,
I suppose is pretty high.

Speaker 16 (02:11:52):
If that's what I think the Supreme Court, even though
there's no split in the circuits possible here, because this
is the only court that can hear this. Meaning this
is not a case where a judge in California said
one thing and the Ninth Circuit agreed, and the judge
in Massachusetts said the opposite and the first circuit agreed.

Speaker 13 (02:12:10):
No, this is the only court that has the.

Speaker 16 (02:12:14):
Jurisdiction to address tariffs, the US International Court of Trade,
which sits here in Manhattan, and now the Appellate Court
for this Court in DC. SO I think the Supreme
Court will want to hear this, even though it seems
to me pretty obvious. The president doesn't have the power

(02:12:36):
to impose attacks. Look, tariffs have been around since the
colonial era. Jefferson and company loved them. They were a
principal mechanism for funding the federal government. But they were
enacted by Congress. They were not imposed by the president.
The Constitution couldn't be clearer. All legislative power here and granted,

(02:13:00):
shall be in a Congress of the United States. The
first power articulated to Congress, Article one, Section eight, the
power to lay and collect taxes. It's clear as can
be that only Congress can impose a tax.

Speaker 13 (02:13:15):
Congress can tax anything at once.

Speaker 16 (02:13:17):
If Congress doesn't want me to wear a red tie,
they cannot enact or regulation banning red ties.

Speaker 13 (02:13:23):
They don't have the authority to do that.

Speaker 16 (02:13:25):
They could ban them an interstate commerce, or they could
tax the daylights out of it so that I wouldn't
buy one. They clearly can impose tariffs. Nobody else can.

Speaker 1 (02:13:35):
Now the tariffs that are currently in place, and I
mean he's tinkering with things that currently exists, raising them
where he wants to raise them. In order to give
you know, this seems to be a critical component to
his foreign policy strategy. I note, for example, that he's
threatening Russia with sanctions and additional tariffs if they continue
to fund this war with Ukraine, so that power will

(02:13:58):
be taken away. Is there an argument in there that
this is not This isn't Texas is terrorists and it's
related to foreign policy? And Donald Trump has exclusive authority
NDO the Constitution to deal with matters of foreign policy.

Speaker 16 (02:14:09):
Probably the government's strongest argument is that this is a
matter of foreign policy and therefore immune from judicial review.
The lower court dismissed that summarily, saying it is a
matter of foreign policy, but the president is doing it
for non foreign policy reasons. He's doing it because of
an imbalance of trade. He's doing it because he's been

(02:14:31):
insulted by foreign leaders. He's doing it because it doesn't
like a criminal case going on in Brazil. And whatever
he does, it is still subject to the Constitution. Though
the president has privacy, he doesn't have total domination. His
ambassadors have to be confirmed, he needs a budget from

(02:14:53):
the Congress. He can't declare war. He still has to
respect the Bill of Rights, so there are other constraints
still on his ability to run foreign policy.

Speaker 13 (02:15:04):
He cites a statute. It's an interesting statute.

Speaker 16 (02:15:07):
I think these emergency laws are all unconstitutional because the
Supreme Court has consistently said there are no emergency powers
in the Constitution.

Speaker 13 (02:15:16):
It applies in good times in bad.

Speaker 16 (02:15:18):
Nevertheless, in nineteen seventy seven, in the Carter era, the
Congress and acted and President Carter signed into law giving
the president emergency powers in the case of an economic emergency.

Speaker 13 (02:15:31):
And it allows him to do a lot of things.
Tariffs is not in there.

Speaker 16 (02:15:36):
The very statute that he cited for a support his
lawyers didn't even read. It doesn't authorize the presidential imposition
of tariffs. It allows him to do a lot of things,
ban products, sanction products, even imposed wage and price controls.

Speaker 13 (02:15:55):
It does not permit tariffs.

Speaker 1 (02:15:56):
Well, and there's an argument you've made in there, unless
it's been tested in arguing for the Supreme Court, that
that's an unconstitutional delegation of congressional authority to the president.

Speaker 13 (02:16:04):
It absolutely is. It absolutely is.

Speaker 16 (02:16:06):
And Brian, the lower court did something I've never seen
before when the DOJ said it's not a tax.

Speaker 13 (02:16:16):
The lower court said it is.

Speaker 16 (02:16:21):
But even if it weren't, no matter what you call it,
Congress can't give its power away to the president. That
would violate the separation of powers. So the lower court
covered the full gamut of legal issues implicated by this.
I think that Trump entered office. I can't get into

(02:16:42):
his brain. Of course, hell bent on using tariffs as
an instrument to effectuate his will. Oh yeah, irrespective, irrespective
of the constitutional constraints that he swore to uphold.

Speaker 1 (02:16:56):
Yeah, because I think he felt strongly that tariffs are
not taxes. Because the congressional power had the power to
lay and collect taxes. He believed, you know, fundamentally, the
tariffs are not taxes. Ergo, he's allowed to do it.
Is he the first president or only presidents who just
arbitraris I'll say arbitrarily, Maybe that's anycorrect word to use.
But to just pick and choose what taxes or what

(02:17:17):
tariffs he wants the levy on any given country. Is
there any precedent for a president doing that?

Speaker 16 (02:17:24):
The closest precedent is a case called Curtis.

Speaker 13 (02:17:28):
Right.

Speaker 16 (02:17:30):
This is nineteen thirty six, so we're at the height
of the depression. Congress gave the president then FDR, the
power to determine what could be exported and imported on
his own and make it a crime to violate what
he decided couldn't be exported and imported. Curtis right, was

(02:17:53):
a manufacturer of weapons and they sold it to the
country Oblivia. And even though Congress never prohibited, only the
president did, the court allowed the prosecution to go forward.
That's about the closest there is. It's not a tariff,
but it makes criminal the violation of an executive order
banning the exportation of certain goods.

Speaker 13 (02:18:13):
Short answer to your question is, no president has ever
imposed tariffs.

Speaker 5 (02:18:17):
On his own.

Speaker 16 (02:18:18):
The closest we have is this FDR thing. But FDR
didn't need to do it on his own. He had
a very compliant Congress for all twelve years. Yeah, Office,
we all know that he did. That's why we have
so many problems today.

Speaker 1 (02:18:31):
Yeah. Well, and I guess the lower court opinion has
it been stayed pending the outcome on appeal because he's
still at it. I mean, he's negotiating.

Speaker 16 (02:18:41):
They stayed it on their own, which is the smart
thing to do, rather than aggravate the appellate court and
forced them to do so in the middle of the summer,
so the lower court stayed its opinion pending appeal.

Speaker 13 (02:18:56):
So he is he is still at it.

Speaker 16 (02:18:58):
The interesting thing would be if they had not state that,
would he still be at it?

Speaker 1 (02:19:02):
Right? Creates an academic question because his doj.

Speaker 16 (02:19:07):
Is the most flagrant violators of court orders have ever seen.
One of the principal architects of those violations was just
made a federal appellate judge last night.

Speaker 1 (02:19:19):
Here we go, all right, very briefly, since we're out
of tom jag and Poultano. The outcome, let's assume, for
the sake of discussion throughout it goes to the legal system.
These things, the terroriff's R and D taxes. He does
not have the power to unilaterally do it. That means
all the negotiations that he's gone through, signed, sealed, and
delivered as some are, are now gone correct.

Speaker 16 (02:19:40):
He would probably ask Congress to enact the terriffs. And
then you got a problem. Then you've got Republicans saying
we're never going to raise taxes, deciding to impose national
sales taxes. Could you imagine that you want to buy
one hundred thousand dollars Mercedes.

Speaker 13 (02:19:53):
But the Republicans that said it's going to quest one
hundred and fifteen thousand.

Speaker 16 (02:19:57):
You want to buy a twenty five dollars toaster, Republicans
are saying it's now going to cost you thirty bucks.
That's the burden that they do not want to have
to deal with. Prior to the twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (02:20:08):
Six Midt read my lips, no new taxes, Harmela. What
happens then, yes, we have a profound recollection of that,
Judge Jenna polatana interesting challenges. The administration is going to
be facing what appears to be pretty conclusive outcome that
you've anticipated based upon the lower court readings. That's why
we've got you around and make clear sense of all this,

(02:20:30):
Judge Enna Polatano. God bless you. So happy you're back
from vacation. I'm glad you had safe travels man.

Speaker 16 (02:20:35):
Thank you to everybody, to your whole team, and look
forward already in the next Wednesday.

Speaker 13 (02:20:38):
All the best, Brian.

Speaker 1 (02:20:39):
Next Wednesday, my friend appointment listening on the fifty five
KRSE Morning Show eight forty one. Right now, stick around,
We're going to hear from Claremont County Prosecutor Mark to
call the congratulations to him and his team. They scored
a great conviction the other day. We'll learn all about
that in a moment.

Speaker 2 (02:20:54):
Fifty five the talk station would and Big City five
CARECD talks Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (02:21:02):
The world's a better place. Thank you to Claremont County
Prosecutor Mark to Coulby, along with assistant prosecutors Christine Detillo
and Zachary Zipper, as well as the Union Township Police
Department for all the work they did on prosecuting and
convicting Charlie Thetterman. Welcome to the morning show. How Many
County Prosecutor Mark to Calvey on behalf of my entire

(02:21:23):
what Joe, I'm sorry, Claremont County Prosecutor Mark to Calby
on behalf of my entire listening audience and me personally
for taking care of this vile human being. Let my
listeners know about what this guy did and what you
went through to prosecuting him.

Speaker 10 (02:21:36):
Thank you for having me on my pleasure.

Speaker 21 (02:21:39):
It's great to be able to communicate with the community
about this sort of, as you say, vile individual. This
involved a young woman known to him, under age at
the time fifteen sixteen years old and he obviously ninety
three counts. He's facing up to four hundred and fififty

(02:22:00):
some years in prison. This came to light a few
years ago. It was investigated extraordinarily well by the Union
Township Police Department. Chief Reese and his detectives did a
great job on this. Clairemont County Children's Protective Services got
involved early on and was instrumental and more fully developing

(02:22:21):
the initial allegations so the police could do.

Speaker 5 (02:22:23):
Something meaningful with him.

Speaker 21 (02:22:26):
This sick individual, theaterman, he videotaped every one of these crimes.

Speaker 1 (02:22:32):
Ninety three felony charges. We've got rape, growth, sexual imposition,
sexual battery, pandering and sexually ornament oriented material, involving a minor,
and tampering with evidence. But he recorded all of it.

Speaker 21 (02:22:44):
He recorded every bit of it. And with the cooperation
between my office, the assistants of our highly trained victim
witness advocates and all of us who pete great heed
and attention and Marcy's Law to protect victims, and with
the expertise of my assistant prosecutors, mainly Christina Dodalo, who

(02:23:07):
has vast experience in protecting and prosecuting these types of
cases and protecting these types of victims. The jury had
to sit through days and days of vile, disgusting videos.
This victim is crying telling theedman that she hates him.
But they did their job as in their civic duty.

(02:23:30):
They sat through this trial. They deliberate, and they returned
a verdict of guilty on all accounts. And we are
going to be extremely pleased to go to court for
his sentencing on August twenty sixth at one pm and
demand that he received a substantial sentence. One we believe
it will ensure that he never gets out of prison alive.

Speaker 1 (02:23:52):
Well, and you know, adding insult to injury bad enough
that he molested this young woman. He represented an himself
a trial and after having to see all of the
horror that he needed down upon this young woman, he
got to question her about this. I cannot imagine what
was going through her head.

Speaker 21 (02:24:15):
She is one of the most brave and courageous victims.
If you probably have a good idea how child's sex
abuse victims suffered this trauma for their entire life.

Speaker 1 (02:24:25):
Yes, came through.

Speaker 21 (02:24:27):
It was a horrible experience for her, but we met
with her, my assistants met with her. The victim witness
advocates met with her and did our best who handle
her in an in a respectful and dignified way, and
still at the same time go through these materials that
were discussing so she could be ready for trial, prepared
for trial, and that we could secure a conviction against

(02:24:50):
this this disgusting pig.

Speaker 1 (02:24:52):
Well Kliment County Prosecutor to Caulby, you also illustrate one
of the more disturbing elements of what law enforcement and
the other agencies involved this have to go through. I
recall them when my sister, before she retired from the
Sin Saint Police Department, spent a number of years in
the Special Crimes Department, which involved guests, in part molesters
of children. And the weight of having that on your mind,

(02:25:14):
knowing that there's this pervert out there, probably continuing to
do this, this commit these crimes while you're gathering enough
evidence to prosecute them. They're still out there. I couldn't
go home and sleep at night knowing that.

Speaker 21 (02:25:27):
Well, and you made me think that this opportunity you're
giving me to speak on your show is an avenue
for me to convey to the public. If anyone knows
of a victim of a crime of any type, but
in particular this type of crime sexual abuseful child, encourage

(02:25:48):
them to come forward. There are many many services out there,
yes for federal health treatment, and certainly law enforcement knows
how to investigate these matters and gather enough evidence to
secure convictions and protect the public.

Speaker 1 (02:26:03):
And I know the Union Township Police Department did their
best to look into it. But you're talking about there
was one single victim with all this video, and she
was the one that had to testify in court. Are
there any other victims out there? I mean, you say
if you looked, because usually these perverts are looking for
opportunities wherever they are.

Speaker 21 (02:26:22):
I would say, you're correct, and that is generally what
I believe to be true from my experience.

Speaker 1 (02:26:27):
We know of no other victim of the good Did
you have some connection? I'm thinking of the parents out
there that maybe they're one of their children is going
through this right now and they have no idea that
it's happening. Is there information or advice you can give
to parents what to look out for, or I mean
anything at all by way of advice. I mean, this

(02:26:48):
obviously went on for a long period of time, considering
the number of charges that were made.

Speaker 5 (02:26:53):
Yes, did.

Speaker 21 (02:26:53):
I'm going to hand you off to Christina Dabelo. She
handles these. She's the chief assistant in my opposite handles
these these horrible sex abuse cases. Again, she's vast experience,
and she can if you.

Speaker 5 (02:27:06):
Don't mind.

Speaker 21 (02:27:08):
What I think, she can probably give you a better
answer than I'm.

Speaker 1 (02:27:11):
I'll be more than happy to talk to her and
thank her in person. Get her on the face.

Speaker 21 (02:27:15):
She's right here, Thank you.

Speaker 15 (02:27:17):
Sir, Good morning, this is Christina Dotello. Your question was
are there signs and things that parents could look out for?

Speaker 8 (02:27:25):
Is that right?

Speaker 15 (02:27:25):
Yes, yes, I'd say primarily a lot of kids who
are being abused tend to start dressing differently. They if
it's a female who who is being abused, she often
wants to associate with boys, wants to be a boy,
wants to change her name to a boy or something else,
wants to start dressing differently. They've often told me and

(02:27:48):
my coworkers that they want to associate with anything but
the gender that they were because that gender is what
keeps getting abused. So that's one big thing. Another thing
is it's changing in sleep habits, eating habits. If they
start withdrawing from friends, family, just big change in behavior.
But one of the big ones is there are a
lot of kids changing their names right now and changing

(02:28:09):
their genders and their identities. That's a huge one.

Speaker 1 (02:28:12):
How about that. I've never heard that before. Oh my god,
Oh my god. Now did she have any connection with
this guy? Because you know, I think quite often you'll
hear it's the uncle who was involved. I mean, are
there warning signs for parents will look out for for
people who are you know, connected with the family in
some way that brings them around regularly. That is suggested

(02:28:34):
that their behavior is inappropriate and maybe something's going on
behind the scenes that they need to keep their eye
out for.

Speaker 15 (02:28:40):
I mean, I think it's just common sense. Keep your
eye open, your eyes open, if you see something that
strikes you as a little odd, then look into it
because it might be Trust your instincts and I am
going to hand you back to Mark.

Speaker 1 (02:28:52):
Well, thank thank you on behalf of the entire community
Assistant prosecutor to that. It's just I really truly appreciate
what you do and what you go through on behalf
of protecting children because I could not personally cope with
having to look at this type of evidence. It just
it brings up bio in my throat to even talk.

Speaker 19 (02:29:10):
About it, I know.

Speaker 15 (02:29:11):
And that's why I appreciate Mark so much, because he's
given me the opportunity to handle cases like these, and
that's my primary focus, which makes me better at it.
So I have to thank my boss, Mark to Coolby
for allowing me to do this.

Speaker 1 (02:29:22):
Yeah, he's a good man, and you obviously are outstanding
assistant prosecutor. Well, you don't need to give back to
just I have an evidentiary question to ask you. I
was a litigation attorney, but I practiced it exclusively in
civil litigation. So in spite of my knowledge of the
criminal justice system, I'm just wondering, from an evidentiary perspective,
was there any way to prosecute this case without having

(02:29:42):
to provide all of this video, every single one of them,
to the jury for the trial. I mean, isn't like
an illustration of it enough so they don't have to
suffer through it.

Speaker 15 (02:29:53):
As far as providing the video to the jury, that's
the best evidence.

Speaker 5 (02:29:56):
I know.

Speaker 1 (02:29:56):
Yeah, I hate to hear that.

Speaker 15 (02:29:59):
I know.

Speaker 3 (02:29:59):
Here is my boss.

Speaker 6 (02:30:00):
Thank you so much for you, Thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (02:30:03):
Brian, thank you for much.

Speaker 21 (02:30:04):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (02:30:05):
Caama County Prosecutor Mark to Calvey again, congratulations on the
outstanding work. I know you're hard at work on other
cases out there. Did how did this first come on
your radar? If I could ask real quick because it
took obviously it sounded like several years from start to finish.

Speaker 21 (02:30:21):
As most cases do, there's a report to somehow gets
filtered to the police department of all involved, this time
Union Township, who we work very closely with all law
enforcement agencies from the outset. They don't just bundle up
a case and bring it to us. When they have
something that pops up or comes to their attention, is
a is an emerging investigation today, they get a hold

(02:30:44):
of this right away. We're typically there on the ground
floor with them, working together with them to put together
the best case we can.

Speaker 1 (02:30:52):
Clearly you did in this case. Well, I hope he
gets all four hundred and fifty years he's eligible for.
He'll he'll have a great time in prison. Giving these
a child in a lester We all know that. Simoonnt
County Prosecutor to Calby, thank you so much for spending
time with my listeners and me this morning on this
case and for the great work he did leading up
to the prosecution. I'll look forward to the sentencing day

(02:31:13):
which is coming up August twenty sixth one thirty. If
you want to be there. Thanks by Brian.
