Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dates, nice officers, the tough of the hour hour my
af on fifty five KRC, the talk station five o
five and fifty five KRC the talk station. Happy Wednesday, some.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Say, will.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Vacation P.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
And that's the way.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
The news go. It is Happy Wednesday. Ryan, I'm right here,
glad to be glad to see Joe's tracker and the
Executi producer booth Ray belongs and looking forward to Jack
add and showing up at seven oh five. Get the
Big Picture every Wednesday at seven o five from the
brilliant Jack Atherd in today. Don't know what it means,
that's what we get to find out together, make America
sing again Masa. In addition, in Maga and Maha, we're

(01:06):
gonna go uh masa with Jack. Other than coming up
at seven oh five, fall By, it is Wednesday, Donald
and Neil Americans for Prosperity calling on Democrats to end
the shutdown. It is squarely in the lape of the Democrats.
Gonna have to talk about that's more. This morning Number
thirteen shot down. Yes, the Democrats blocked another funding effort,
the Continuing Resolution, keeping funding levels at twenty twenty four levels.

(01:27):
The Biden administration levels. We all know the arguments, we
all know the reasons why we have a shutdown. It's
the only thing that Democrats have by way of leverage.
And I'll get into that detail just a moment here
eight oh five, looking forward to having retired Captain russ Neville,
since a police department. Captain russ Neville a storied law
enforcement family. You know who his sister is, police chief

(01:47):
three Satichi and Rick Neville's brother was having retired Hamilton
County Sheriff or Hamilon County Sheriff's Office captain. So they've
got like decades and decades and decade aids of law
enforcement experience. Well here from russ Neville, see who's going
to support his sister's position? Is he going to go
after the administration? I know signal ninety nine. If you're

(02:08):
out this signal. Been reading what you're writing on fate
on Facebook. She's got her thumb on the pulse of
everything going on in this mess, including documents and internal exchanges,
pointing out that indeed Police Chief Teresadiji was not free
to go it alone and do what she thought by
the way of best practices in law enforcement. She had
to get approval now we'll get to the details on

(02:28):
that a little bit later as well, but now looking
real good. As far as I'm concerned for aftab Purval.
The only problem is is anybody in the city of
sincer only paying attention to this and using it and
factoring into the equation of whether or not he is
worthy to continue to be the mayor of the City
of Cincinnati. I mean, it really has nothing to show
for the four years he's been in that office as
far as I'm concerned. He did his best efforts to

(02:49):
prove that he's actually done something in his open letter
that was published in the enquire but I couldn't find
anything solid in there anyway. Russ Neville eight oh five
will be in studio for a full half hour and
the follow by Judge in an Apolitano Wednesday's at eight
thirty we get the judge today, jailed in America for
free speech. Sounds like something to be going on in
the United Kingdom, where they don't have freemom speech. We
do have it enshrined in our constitution, and thank God

(03:11):
for it. But there's a lot of folks in high
positions and prosecutor's office, and well, I don't really believe that.
So the story he unfolds and explains in his op
ed piece, which I fortunately get a copy of early,
really are horrific and hard to believe that it's going
on in America. That'll be at eight thirty with Judge
and an Apolitano. Ah cool brother Dre is coming back

(03:31):
on tomorrow. Andre Ewing another outspoken critic of the Provoll administration.
Former retired police officer. He is thirty years under his belt.
I have tremendous respect for Dre and what he says.
He is passionate about his position. You may be passionate
about your position as well. Feel free to voice it

(03:52):
here on the fifty five Carency Morning Show five on three, seven, four, nine,
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
Talk Pound five point fifty on at and T all Right,
check it out here. Thirteenth time. Democrats yesterday voted number thirteen,
blocking the House pass bill to reopen the federal government
fifty four to forty five. That's kind of what the
running tally has been. You have the three Democrat members

(04:14):
of the Senate. You got Fetterman, Cortes, Mosto, and Angus
King Kings from Maine, Catherine Cortez Motso from Nevadam. There's
the three need a handful more, need sixty total votes
to get over the hurdle, which is lang squarely in
the Democrats lap, and hell is getting ready to be paid.

(04:36):
So Johnson showed a chart yesterday. Speaker Johnson, here's his
point four specific points. Mate one, Democrat voters votes rather
are required to open the government. Fair enough, you need
sixty in the Senate. So that statement obviously is one
of those no kidding kind of statements. But this is
the setup. Need Democrats to open the government. All of

(05:02):
the Republicans are voting to open the government. So there's
your point. Number two. Democrats have voted thirteen times to
keep the government closed. Fact Number three Democrats refuse to
fund the government unless Congress restores left wing projects. Fact
that's their argument. Their counterproposal to continuing last year's funding
levels was a one point five trillion dollar add on,

(05:24):
which is a non starter. And finally, the point number four,
Democrats admit to using pain as their leverage and boast
every day gets better for us. And we've got a
couple of quotes on that. Senator Chris Coons admitted that, yes,
just the other day, admitted on National TV. And for

(05:47):
the folks that are going to miss out on their
snap benefits, he's willing to starve you because it's the
only leverage they have. Pain heap down upon you a
program created by Democrats to help those online life's margins. Please,
Dear God, we need to help them. It's our Christian obligation.
I got a word or two of beg Kevin Newson
here in a moment on that anyway, he says. Kuhne says,

(06:09):
it's principally a fight over healthcare and trying to prevent
what's going to happen on November first, which is millions
of Americans get notices that their health insurance is going
to double in costs. That'll impact Americans. Republicans control the House,
fast forwarding in his quote the Senate and the White House. Frankly,
this is our only moment of leverage. And although a
very unpleasant tool to use. Hm Housemann already whip. Katherine Clark,

(06:34):
Democrat Massachusetts, already said something like that a couple of
weeks ago. We take that responsibility very seriously. That families
are going to suffer her words, noting that families are
going to suffer, and they take the responsibility very seriously. Quote,
but it's one of the few leverage times we have,
so heaping pain upon life, smart folks, on life's margins

(06:56):
in order to expand the role of government and of
course create the fallacy of the fau view that Obamacare
can survive on its own without propping up your insurance payments.
Gavin Newsom snap, benefits are going to be cut, so
he took to the Bible. Yes, California Governor Gavin Newsom
invoked Biblical teachings in order to guilt you into well

(07:21):
expanding Obamacare the subsidies. Actually, he was talking yesterday in Sacramento.
He cited the teachings from Matthew, Isaiah Luke and Proverbs
as evidence that feeding the poor is, in his words,
core and central to what it is to align to
God's will. Quote, it's not a suggestion in the Old

(07:43):
Testament and New Testament. Newsom said, these guys need to
stop the bs in Washington. They're sitting there in their
prayer breakfast. Maybe they got an edited version of President
Donald Trump's Bible and they edited out all of that out,
Cruelty is the policy. Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, crush
just admit that it's cruel to keep the government shut down,
but it's the only leverage they got. Cruelty is the

(08:05):
policy of the Democrats at this moment in time. Gavin,
But who are in the hell are you to cite Scripture?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Can I get a headcount here? How many people believe
we live in a theocracy? Joe? Is there a Church
of the United States like they have a Church of England. Now,
you didn't get the memo on that one. Neither did
I founding fathers lived under the thumb of having to
deal with the Church of England when they were colonies.
They were forced to pay taxes to keep churches down
the street open even if you were't a member of

(08:35):
the church. They said, no free exercise of religion. There
is no establishment of religion in the United States of America.
So if you're invoking scripture, just stop for a moment
and say, hmm, what if Gavin Newsan started citing the Qoran?
How come Newson didn't cite the Koran in reference what
Mohammad said about I don't know the snap program or

(08:56):
something render under Caesar what's due sees or the state
exists independently of your religious obligations. So something I've been
screaming about for years here in the morning show. You're
in the middle of a church. You're a it's maybe
your pastor or whoever you are in front of in
some religious institutions, if it's Christianity, notably no theologian am I.

(09:18):
But if there's a priest up there, or a bishop
or anybody else leader of the church saying you need
to vote for some government policy so that feeds the
homeless or whatever. That's offloading the religious obligations that you have.
State independent from church. Church teachings rule the people who
believe in the faith. Your teaching requires you perhaps read

(09:40):
this scripture yourself and see what your obligations are. Those
are your obligations. Don't go offloading them to someone else, unless,
of course, you're paying a sizable chunk of those. I'm
sure there's a lot of Christian folks out there that
these I think these big government programs are great. Maybe
they're not paying any federal income taxes, so literally they
are taking from their brother to eat off these programs.

(10:04):
I don't know, at least there's some measure of accountability
when you're doing it through the church. You know you
can view where your money is going you like, for example,
I mentioned Matthew twenty five the other day. The ideal
charity to give to if you want to serve you,
if you want to help people truly, because they're overhead,
they don't charge a lot of overhead. Most all of
the donations go to the relief effort. So you can

(10:27):
fulfill your Christian mission by handing over money to Matthew
twenty five, which will see that that money gets into
the hand of the poor people. Kadah, how's FEMA working out?
But we don't live in a theocracy, and I love
how democrats and sometimes Republicans pick and choose when they're
going to start citing scripture and trying to heap guilt

(10:47):
on you because of some government program. Unbelievable. Apparently Press
this point repeatedly yesterday, saying leaders who cite religion should
reflect those values in policy. Oh he wants religion incorporated

(11:08):
into government. Huh, what the acl you would say about that?
They're the ones typically suing over the government funding of
literally anything relating to religion. I don't know it irks me.

(11:32):
And you got this lawsuit by all the states suing
the Trump administration for withhold of the food funding. They're
arguing in the USDA violated federal law by planning to
suspend benefits under SNAPS SNAP program. I guess they want
the king to decree where congressionally allocated money. The power

(11:52):
of the person lies in Congress where congressionally allocated money
should go. Oh, I guess we need a king, don't
we Because a king can waive his king magic wand
and automatically put funds where he believes funds should go,
and maybe take funds away where he doesn't believe they
should go. But you know where are we on that messaging?

(12:14):
Lawsuit asks the judge to overturn the administration's earlier directive
instructing states with old benefits required USDA and require the
USDA to use all available funds to help keep SNAP
benefits flowing in November, which is odd because the math
doesn't work out. Even if they prevail on this lawsuit,
they're going to be about four billion dollars short now.

(12:37):
These planets in lawsuit disputing that the Trump administration statements
that it does not have the legal authority to use
the five billion dollars remaining in emergency funds to pay
for at least part of Snap fun fact Snap which
requires more than eight billion dollars to pay November benefits alone.

(12:59):
So I'm not sure how they're going to divvy up
the five billion if they get it leveraged to, you know,
bring it over to the Snap program, but it's still
not going to cover the nut. Oh and Snap recipients
have gone online fuming over the anticipated cut off of

(13:24):
the benefits they're planning on looting. It's an interesting collection
of quotes we have from folks who went to TikTok
and Twitter and all these online sites to say exactly
what they're gonna do if the Snap benefits don't come
in five eighteen. Right now, if you five KRCD talk station,
feel free to call five one, three, seven four nine
fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three
talk or hit pound five fifty if you have an

(13:45):
AT and T Fund'll be right back. Fifty five KRC
five two. I have to be that kr seed you
talks to them. Now, what's gonna happen when Snap benefits stop?
I mean the lawsuit doesn't result in the five billion
dollars remaining, providing for partial one month of Snap benefits

(14:07):
reportedly nine billion dollars for a month SNAP recipient's going
to TikTok now read, I realize this represents only a
fraction of the number of Snap recipients. Totally, forty two
million Americans, one in eight people nationwide get some Snap
benefits average three hundred and fifty bucks per month per household.
What are some of the people saying on Facebook? Apparently

(14:27):
Snap sent out an announcement via text week text message
to all Snap beneficiaries warning them of the pause in
the program that's showing up on November first. Just to
heads up, November first is the deadline government shutdown. It's
going to result in the payment's not going through. Here's
an illustration of the reaction from one angry recipient of

(14:47):
that text message or that message. I'm gonna tell you
straight up like this, I just got that text that
the link is definitely cut the F word off for November.
Y'all better stay the word out of my way in
these stores because I'm walking out with carts and I'm
not paying for s word. Hmm. Here's another. You know what,

(15:10):
since they want to take food stamps away, I'm gonna
go to effing Walmart, grab anything I damn want, put
that S word right into the basket, and walk right
up out of that B word. I'm not paying for
a damn thing. Hm, I'm gonna be stealing like it
ain't no tomorrow. I'm gonna have one of my cousins

(15:30):
with me that'll punch your ass so hard you'll think
that a Jet two holiday hit your B word. As
if you think I ain't gonna walk out that store,
I think the Jet two holidays described as a reference
to a UK based budget air travel provider. Thank you
New York Post for letting me know that I didn't
know what the reference was. One blame Donald Trump, Donald Trump.

(15:54):
When the Democrats are needed to get the stat benefits
flowing again, Trump done f warded up. Let's just make
it clear. Okay, he's talking about people not getting food
stamps in November and probably not December. He better get
ready because it's about to go down. What you're gonna
learn is you don't play with and this one says

(16:17):
the black people's food stamps. I don't know that the
black people own the food stamp program. Anyway, This is
just a quote. Brian Thomas didn't come up with it
and make the full mistake of posting it. What you're
going to learn is you don't play with black people's
food stamps. Okay, so get ready because people are about
to just start taking sword. That doesn't even make any sense,

(16:40):
but nonetheless there it is posted for all to see.
So I guess stay out of grocery stores November first,
going forward, Jayson the phone Jay, You're gonna have to wait.
I look up, it's five twenty five, and it gives
me an opportunity to mention Gato Heaven Cemetery because they've
got something coming up and I'd like to pass it
along to you the all Old Soul's candle at Mann

(17:02):
Happy Wednesday. Anybody to make it the Honor Flight, oh Man.
I saw a bunch of pictures thanks to curbage Mike
and Andrew Pappus and others who posted beautiful pictures from
the Honor Flight return welcome home ceremony. Looked like it
was just extremely well attended, just so happy that so
many folks made it out there to well salute the
American veteran and get that infusion of patriotism we could

(17:22):
all very much use. So if you went, please feel
free to give me a call me know how it went.
Let's see that further a deal. Let's start with Jay.
I got Tom on the line as well. Jay. Welcome,
my friend. Good to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Hey, good morning, Brian. On this twenty ninth day of
this glorious government shut down, we're at one hundred and
forty three billion dollars theoretically saved, and for the first
time of my life find myself siding with the Democrats
in Washington, d C. To keep the government shut down.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
It's an odd place to be, it is, But I
also but I also have a Bible verse to share
with Guest Newsome. It is a second Thessalonians three ten,
which states for even when we were with you, we
gave you this rule, the one who is unwilling to
work shall not eat. Now that doesn't mean that the
Bible is in conflict with itself. The question we have

(18:18):
to ask is how many people on Snap are in
need and how many of them refuse to work, and
they're kind of identifying some of them are identifying themselves online.
And I'm not saying all of them, but whenever they
start threatening that they're going to loot and steal and
rob and be thieves, that kind of becomes self identification.

(18:40):
That there is certainly a certain segment of people on
Snap who are sluggards, who refuse to take accountability. And
as Vince Evratte Ellison points out in his book Iron Triangle,
which I bring up from time to time, which you've
heard about on your program, thank you for that. They
are on the government program by choice. They have become

(19:02):
government slaves by choice. They have taken the deal which
says vote Democrat and we will put a check in
your mailbox. And all you have to do is give
us your dignity, your power, your money, and and your pride,
and we will continue to provide things like government funding.

(19:24):
But you just have to get back in your slaves,
get back in your prison, shut the door behind you,
and we will make sure that you don't have to work.
And that is that is what we see on parade
point number two. I heard that government or I'm sorry,
had government Speaker Johnson could open up the house, get
the Republicans in there, start working. On twelve appropriations in

(19:48):
the spirit of Thomas Massey.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Like get back to work.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:51):
I also heard during this time the government shutdown, they've
got some flexibility to start taking some of these executive
orders and converting them to law. And if they might
be able to fast track that. Uh, first of all,
I don't know if that's true or not. I would
like to get somebody to read on it. And if
that is true, then what we're seeing is the Speaker
of the House really has no desire to advance the

(20:12):
conservative agenda or do these twelve appropriations.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Why might that be? Jay, Do you think this has
anything to do with the Epstein vote that as soon
as Congress is well, as soon as the House is
brought back from recess, that they're going to be advancing
that vote.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
There's about one hundred reasons we can come up with,
and all of them point to that they don't care
about us as much as they care about themselves.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Clearly, well, and thus is I'm just hastened to say,
thus it has ever been?

Speaker 5 (20:42):
Yeah, No, you're absolutely right, You're you're you're absolutely right.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
And this is the.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
Problem with a large federal government. I'm making a new mantra,
make states great again. Push all the power, push all
of the funding, push all the money back to the states.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
I don't think we're ever going to see that in
our lifetime.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
We've got you know, I'm not a big fan of
the No Kings rally, but I don't know that we
can argue that we don't have this kingdom called Washington,
DC that holds all of the power, all the authority,
all the money. They became very small, very powerless, and
we get meet leaders like Mike DeWine. But speaking of him,
let's never vote Rhino again, and let's not vote Democrat.

(21:22):
I don't want to go on too long because I
really want to hear what brother Tom has to say.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I have a good day, Jay, fantastic. I appreciate hearing
from you. Tom. You're up, my brother, Welcome back to
the thirty five KRCY Morning Show.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
Good morning, and thank you, brother Jay. I appreciate it. Yeah.
I'm just he was reading my mind, I guess, and
we're all I get great minds, think alike. Maybe Yeah,
people are getting upset. I'm gonna throw out a suggestion,
And if you're going to go into a Walmart, why
don't you stop with the customer service desk to get

(21:55):
an application while you're there, because clearly you're able to
get up and function and do stuff. You're able to
go walk through the store and shop and steal some
s word. Then you're able to stock shelves, and you're
physically capable of doing all kinds of things. Yeah, so
uh yeah, yeah, let's uh, let's uh, let's turn that

(22:16):
energy that you have into some productive for society and
uh and stop being such a drain on society. And
I say that, I want to make sure I counter
it with obviously there are people out there that need help.
Until we get this this, if we ever get this
situation turned around where people are are doing it, uh,

(22:39):
taking care of people and using charity properly instead of
just oh well, I don't need to worry about that
those people got government funding. Yeah, so it basically makes us.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Late, right, And then see that's where religious accountability. If
you if you think about charitable institutions generally speaking, if
they're private, they determine where the aid is going to go.
They determine where the need is. And if they're out
there in the world and they run and encounter somebody
who says they need aid, you might want to give
a measure of assistance to move forward until they are
on their feet again. And that's where a responsible charitable

(23:12):
organization can ensure that the lazy, the lethargic, those who
can work don't get the aid because they refuse to work. Listen,
we've offered you training, We've offered you education assistance. We've
shown you where these programs are that can facilitate your
entry into the workplace. You refuse to do any of that, ergo,
we are no longer going to support you, recognizing full

(23:34):
well that you're capable of engaging in employment. Where is
the work ethic? Tom? It used to be a point
in this nation's history if you were able to work
and you didn't work, society would take a dim view
of you. There was some measure of accountability. You're supposed
to participate if you're able, and that ultimately benefited you
because you had a job and a salary and a paycheck,
and then you could be free of this well unbelievably

(23:57):
horrific concept called dependence on the dysfunctional government. Right, you're
gonna let him say his catchphrase, Joe, Oh he's still there, Tom.
Maybe we did lose him. Sorry, Tom Dot a Democrat,

(24:18):
don't vot rhino. Let's say it for hims five six
right now, Steve, stay there. I think you're called just
a second after I mentioned QC kinetics.

Speaker 8 (24:25):
The talk station.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
By forty fIF if you have a care cud talk station.
Before we get to this stack of stupid, happy to
go to the phone, Steve was kinding up the hold
over of the break, Steve, welcome in the morning show.
Happy Wednesday, Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 9 (24:38):
And Steve is gonna be nice enough to do this
in less than one minute because I want to hear
the stack of stupid. And it's my my mantra is,
don't don't delay the stack of stupid. A couple of
real quick comments. First of all, boy, get this, this
ever happened to you? You just completely draw a blank?
Okay here, Yes, forty one or forty two million people

(25:00):
on food stamps is the most shocking thing I've ever heard.
I mean, I knew there were a lot of people's
that's like one in eight Americans on food stamps. I
believe there are very needy people in there. It's also
got to be such a corrupt system where so many
people don't need to be on there. I want to
help needy people. I don't want to help people that

(25:22):
claim to be disabled that aren't disabled. Off of that,
let me move on to my next topic. You had
a guy yesterday and I worked Monday Tuesday, but I
drive around doing deliveries and I listened to you religiously,
but I can't comment on those days. His name was
Carl and it was on the Holocaust exhibit I believe
at Union Terminal. Yes, yeah, yeah, And you reacted to that,

(25:47):
and I just wanted to share a real quick story
to you or with you. My wife and I, my
lovely wife and I were in Munich, Germany, many years
ago and we did a little side trip to dak
Out concentration Camp and that was the first concentration camp
the Nazis opened in nineteen thirty three. You have never

(26:08):
and this is cliche. The silence was deafening. As you
walked around the camp, you could smell death in the air.
It was like being in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Speaker 6 (26:21):
It was surreal.

Speaker 9 (26:23):
And you ended up in the back of the camp
where the showers were in, then the place where they
stored the bodies, and then the crematorium and you actually
walked through that, and I'll tell you what, You'll know,
you'll never forget that if you do it. And I
remember coming back and a boss of mine at the

(26:45):
time kind of made fun of me. It's like, oh,
you really know how to have fun on vacation, and
I'm like, you know, this is history. It's like I
didn't just do that, but I also didn't pretend it
wasn't there and just have another nice meal. So just again,
you can't believe how horrific human beings could be to
other human beings.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
But I'll let you go.

Speaker 9 (27:03):
Sorry to do it on a down or like.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
That, but it's an important let's say it is.

Speaker 9 (27:08):
It is reality.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
It absolutely is. And it's a horror that there are
a bunch of idiots out in the world who deny
that that ever even happened. There's so much evidence in
proof of it. It's just beyond the pale that anyone
can so never hub and the Holocaust was a lie.
Yeah whatever, buddy, got two words for you, and they
ain't happy birthday and no to my yearly departed father
five forty five. Right now, if you have KRSD talk station,

(27:31):
Peter Shabre actation five forty nine. Here if you have
KRS DE talk station, I'm going to dive into the stack.
Oh stupid.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Here's from the Don't do that stack official say man
accidentally shot himself in the leg. Happened in a Walmart.
Off duty officer working security at the super Walmart Favville Road, Lumberton,
North Carolina, reported hearing a gunshot in the building about
four thirty the afternoon, saw a vehicle leaving at the
area at the high rate of speed. He initiated a

(28:03):
traffic stop, discovered a man suffering from a gunshot wound
to his leg. Court officials. The wounded guy said he
accidentally discharged his firearm while inside the store. Quart of
the relief.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Yeah, doing idiot things because they're idiots.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Specifically Court of the report. He reported that the firearm
had been tucked into his jogging pants without a without
a holster, and we attempted to reposition it. He unintentionally
pulled the trigger through his clothing, causing the weapon to
discharge and hit him in the legs, non life threatening injuries.
He was taken to the hospital. Don't do that, see

(28:44):
man Allegedly it where's Jay Ratt left? When you need him.
Man allegedly stabbed two teenagers with a metal fork and
attempted to slap a crew member. This aboard a luftons
a flight from Chicago to Germany over the weekend. Plane
headed divert to Boston. A little bit into the Saturday
flight after meal service, one of the victims, seventeen year
old boy, awoke to find the accused, Praneath Kumar Usirah

(29:04):
Polly close enough twenty eight years old, standing over him
in the middle seat corner. The US Attorney's Office for
the District of Massachusetts in their news release victims and
not in publicly identify, but his flight crew members attempted
to subdue this guy. Authlready said he formed an imaginary
gun with his fingers, gestured that he was shooting himself
in the mouth, then slapped a female passenger to his left,

(29:26):
and attempted to slap a flight crew member. Plane took
off from Chicago O'Hare at four thirty in the afternoon,
heading to Frankfurt, Ussyria. Polly charged with one kind of
assault with a dangerous weapon with the intend to do
bodily harm. Now facing up the ten years in prison
and up to three years a supervisor release a maximum
fine of a quarter of a million dollars corner. The

(29:49):
US Attorney's office Assuria Polly presently does not have lawful
status in the United States of America. Got all stabby
with a idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Se
on this one. Thirty five year old nanny's been charged
with murder also denied bob after authority say she fatally

(30:12):
stabbed in her an elderly grandfather multiple times while she
was caring for a three year old inside the home
in Michigan. Samantha Ray Booth appeared to have a manic
episode when the child's grandfather came by for a welfare check.
Officials said Booth not only killed the eighty three year
old man, but also fled from responding police, attacked another
family member with a screwdriver, stripped naked, and was found

(30:35):
with suspected psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana in her purse. As
this tradition, Booth charged the first degree murdered, second degree
child abuse, assault, three counts resisting, assaulting, obstructing police, child
abuse car charged them from the fact that the alleged
murder happened in front of the child. The incident began
with the child's mom, who was out of town, asked

(30:56):
their father to check on her daughter as she was
being cared for by the nanny. She didn't receive an update,
mom sent the child's uncle to the home. When the
uncle entered the home, he heard noises coming from the basement.
Went downstairs, found the nanny in what is described as
a manic state, covered in blood, and the child's grandfather,
David On, lying on the floor with severe injuries on receiver,

(31:16):
Yeah I know. He got emergency medical care, but ultimately
succumbed to his injuries and pronounced dead at the scene.
The uncle grabbed the child, who was also in the basement,
tried to escape, repeatedly fended off attacks from this crazy
nanny got out of the home. Booth apparently followed him,
the kid, and the uncle with a screwdriver, but the

(31:37):
uncle and the child eventually were able to shelter in
a home nearby. Official said Booth allegedly stopped chasing the uncle,
dropped the screwdriver, stripped off her clothes before fleeing from
responding a police officers surprised this one didn't make it
The Friday Joe. She reportedly was found with blood on
her hands and detained after a brief police pursuit. She

(31:58):
initially tried to escape it then was quickly apprehended. Minor
injuries for the child and uncle, fortunately for that one.
Apparently this woman had looked after the child for two
years previously without any incident. Drugs are bad in a rampage,

(32:21):
which is SUGGESTI will cause stress from sadness for Halloween fans.
I doubted Florida man's been accused of smashing pumpkins. Not
the band valued at nearly five hundred dollars, please say.
Aaron Thompson, who's thirty one, came out at night destroyed
about eighty pumpkins that were stored in front of a
target in the Tampa Bay area. Security cameras have it

(32:42):
on film. Of course, cops alledged recorded Thompson picking up
pumpkins out of the boxes located in front of the
store and smashing them onto the ground. He was arrested
several days later after returning to the store and police
showed up. I brought to the Lost Prevention office and
shown this surveillance footage. Tomson was asked if he could
identify the person smashing the pumpkins in the video, he

(33:05):
reportedly replied, that's men. Ask why he destroyed the pumpkins,
he said quote stated he did it because someone was
messing with him on Facebook and made him mad.

Speaker 6 (33:19):
Keep your stupid mouth shut.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Thank you, Jay Ratliffe. According to cops, Thompson also added
he was unapologetic about his actions after smashing the pumpkins,
and he left the scene to go sleep. Pumpkins total
value four hundred and seventy two dollars and fourteen cents.
Charged with felony criminal mischief, held in the County jail
in lieu of a five thousand dollars bond rap sheet.
He does have one concludes convictions for burglary, battery, trustmass trespass,

(33:45):
criminal mischief, and reckless driving. Not that it matters, but
apparently the arrest report list Thompson's occupation as violinist. What
apparently he previously performed with the Ellis Park Civic Orchestra
as part of its first violin group.

He's always brilliant, Uh Donald and Neil from Americans for Prosperity.
He is well in all of Americans far as prosperity.
Anybody has a measure of sanity. Calling on Democrats and
the shutdown, rog and I look at the threats from

Russ Neville retired Captain since Saint Police Department Captain Russ
Neville Police Chiefdji's brother, a storied law enforcement family of
the Neville family, including Rick Neville, who was retired captain
from the Hamilin County Sheriff's office. Anyone will have a

(35:30):
few comments about police Chief Thresa Thiji, current city hall developments.
Where in the hell is this going? Remember, early voting
is okay. You can go ahead and vote for Corey
Bowman and choose a different path of the city of Cincinnati. Yeah,
I know I've said that before. Judge Ednenopolatano at eight thirty,
who'll be talking about jailed in America for free speech?
Thought that only happened in the United Kingdom and other

(35:54):
twelve countries that don't have a constitution to protect the
rights of the citizenry. We're lucky we live in the
United States of America, folks, if you haven't gotten the
memo on that one. Anyhow, without further ado, let's see here,
been kind of on a tear. I talked about the
snap benefits and the batcrap insanity coming out of government

(36:15):
of Newsom's mouth. We don't live in a theocracy, and
we'll just boil it all back down again. Go ahead
and cite your Bible verses. We don't live in a theocracy.
And I love how democrats love to cite Bible verses
when they are trying to support their big, fat, bloated
government programs, When if you cited a Bible verse to them,
they would accuse you of being I don't know, any
idiot or something. Do you believe in the flying spaghetti Monster?

(36:38):
I can't believe you believe in God? What is this
with the you know? Yeah, but for someone called the
other day mentioned about you know, well we need Christian
this or whatever.

Speaker 11 (36:48):
I see.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
I don't care what religion a politician is. We don't
live in a theocracy. Thankfully, you could be any religion
you want. If you represent the interests of the American people,
you can do a good job. Vvake Ramaswami. I don't
believe he's Christian. Can't wait for him to be governor
of the state of Ohio. But moving away from that,
go ahead and listen to the podcast at my five
o'clock hour. One on quite a teror on that one.

(37:11):
Another op ed piece in the Journal but it's on
the heels of quite quite a few articles I've been
talking about of late. We are going to get nuclear power,
hopefully if we can avoid the interference by the climate
alarmist folks and their efforts to really put American oil
and gas out of business, completely out of business. And
they're doing that through Lawfair. I know we've heard about

(37:32):
Lawfair a lot, but this is why I love the journal.
William P. Barr you can read it for yourself. He
served as US Attorney General between ninety one and ninety
three and between twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, and law
firm does represent energy clients. But he makes a damn
good argument. The Supreme Court can stop an unconstitutional carbon tax.

(37:52):
Now I had mentioned this before. Remember the United Nations
International Maritime Organization wanted to levy a global carbon tax
on every Donald Trump said, ah, I got two words
for it. Ain't happy birthday. What authority does the UN have,
I mean even the audacity to suggest that they have
the authoritied attax randomly every country in the world for
some carbon output. No, you don't have that authority. It's

(38:16):
not part of the charter. Go to hell anyway, After
pointing out his actions on that. He says, but an
equally insidious carbon tax has been quietly advancing in county
courthouses across the United States in the form of climate
lawfair targeting almost exclusively American industry, and the Supreme Court

(38:37):
has an opportunity to stop it. See right there. Over
the past few years, Blue States municipalities have filed dozens
of tourtsuits and state courts against American energy companies, claiming
hundreds of billions of dollars in damages. Get a load
of this, he says. One point of funded estimate recently
claimed that the damages should total no less than twenty

(38:58):
eight trill billion dollars, which is about the entire economic
output of our country. Plaintiffs insists they're suing for local damages,
like you evil oil company damaged the soil here, and
you need to pay for it the way a planiff might,
and well the way any planeff might if they've suffered damages.

(39:20):
And they say they're not trying to set global climate policy. However,
David Bookbinder let the cat out of the bag. Who
is he? He's the director of law and policy for
a group called the Environmental Integrity Project also happens to
be a lawyer representing Boulder County, Colorado, and its climate
suit against two energy companies, sun Core Energy and Exxon Mobile. Now, sadly,

(39:42):
the Colorado Supreme Court ruled in his client's favor and
allowed them to move forward with the lawsuits. Defendants have
asked the US Supreme Court to hear the appeal. Mister Bookbinder,
recently participating in a Federalist Society panel that was discussing
the litigation, acknowledged that the lawsuits were rather a political
tool to achieve environmental policy goals, not for local damages.

(40:06):
Here's what he had he said. Essentially, the tort liability
is an indirect carbon tax. You se an oil company,
an oil company is liable. The oil company then passes
that liability onto the people who are buying its products.
I would prefer an actual carbon tax, but if we
can't get one of those, and I don't think anyone

(40:28):
on this panel would agree that Congress is likely to
take on climate change anytime soon. So this is rather,
you know, a somewhat convoluted way to achieve the goals
of a carbon tax. Close quote Bookbinder's admission confirms what
critics of these suits have been saying all along. This
litigation is not about compensation, It's about coercion. Climate lawfair

(40:53):
is a political strategy laundered through lawsuits, designed to force
radical policy of energy poverty on a country who's elected
representatives have repeatedly declined to adopt such destructive measures. Pause
and think about that. We live in a representative form
of democracy. If we all were pushing for our representatives
to go down the climate tax road and have a
carbon tax implemented, maybe they might bend to this constituent's

(41:16):
will and put one in place. The reality is we
don't want one. You can't even get Democrats to rally
around a carbon tax that's what we want. But because
these climate alarmists and hungry for their commissioned plaintiffs, lawyers
are willing to represent probably nefarious outside interests like for example, maybe,

(41:39):
and I don't know definitively, where are these folks getting
bankroll Chinese Communist Party? Maybe they love when we go
chasing our tail trying to eliminate carbon in the world.
They would love it if American oil companies were put
out of business. Try to imagine a scenario where one

(41:59):
of these planeiffs is successful, and then all the other
planeiffs take the ball and run with it and file
comparable lawsuits in every county across this great land of ours,
trying to get their slice of the pie. And the
oil companies went out of business. They had to declare bankruptcy.
Any activity going forward has already been declared to be
well destructive to the planet, and therefore our product is well.

(42:24):
They'd be like banning something carcinogenic, wouldn't it. We can't
have that going out of the world. Sorry, no more
gasoline for you, no more diesel fuel for you, no
more plastic for you. Think of all the things that
are made with petroleum and think of a world without it,
or at least the United States with that. And I
suppose that would require us to start doing business with

(42:45):
I don't know, maybe oil companies out of China or Russia. Anyway,
here's what he said. We'll go back to the op ed.
Mister Bookbinder that lawyer the activists even describe the end
game bankrupting the American oil and gas industry once a
single planet secure. As a final judgment, he pointed out
a cascade of copycat lawsuits would follow, forcing every private

(43:07):
energy company into the United States into insolvency. Quote. Every
defendant in all cases immediately declares bankruptcy because they have to.
But foreign owned state oil and gas companies, say for example,
gas prom or the China National Petroleum Corporation, wouldn't be

(43:28):
subject to this. They can't be taken to state court
because of the legal doctrine of sovereign immunity. Oh, whether
this lawfair gambit works may now be tested at the
highest level. The defendants in sun Cor versus Boulder County
squarely raised the question at the heart of all these lawsuits.
Can states regulate emissions that take place outside of their borders?

(43:54):
More than a century of Supreme Court precedent indicates the
answer must be no. Disputes involving pollution that cross state
or international borders are the exclusive domain of federal law.
If Colorado can regulate global emissions through its courts, what
stops Texas from suing California over its emission policies. The
result will be what the Supreme Court has called a

(44:15):
chaotic confrontation between states, with each imposing its preferred energy
policy on the other, in this case, a policy that
selectively punishes American companies while foreign state owned precede producers
get a free pass. This is precisely the kind of
interstate conflict the constitutional framers sought to prevent. Planets have

(44:35):
tried to avoid this issue by dressing up their complaints
in the garb of state consumer protection or public nuisance laws,
insisting they aren't trying to regulate emissions, just merely seeking
compensation for local harms. Colorado Supreme Court accepted that distinction,
concluding that the regulation regulating pollution is different from holding
upstream producers liable for selling the products that cause it.

(44:58):
But then mister Book said the quiet part out loud.
But even if he had in the argument doesn't pass
the smell test, As the Second US Circuit Court of
Appeals own the only one, the only court of Appeals
to consider the Climate Toward case on the merits recognized quote,
artful pleading cannot transform such a complaint into anything other
than a suit over global greenhouse gas emissions. Letting State's

(45:23):
rule Supreme would create what James Madison called an inversion
of the fundamental principles of all government, creating a monster
in which the head was under the direction of its members.
Thanks to mister Bookbinder, the fiction of all these that
these are run of the mill state law cases has
been exposed. The Supreme Court should take it up before
this unconstitutional monster devours Americans energy independence. Isn't that sad

(45:48):
when you see the stars all aligned in a well
written explanation like that for mister Barr, Colorad a county
in Colorado is seeking to recover from an oil company
whatever claim damages that one singular county suffered from as
a consequence of global emissions, as if the air floating

(46:11):
over that county you should be treated any differently than
the air that we read here, or well, going back
to the fact that China in negates in twelve days
the efforts of the entire continent of Australia to reduce carbon.
This is foolish and I have to have pro Bawl
believes in this kind of crap too. He thinks the
city of Cincinnati can regulate carbon and have an impact

(46:33):
on the globe. Think about that when you're going into
the polling booth. Presti's interiors presstge one two to three
dot com. It is six twenty three year at fifty
five kar CV talk station. Feel free to call if
I went three seven, four, nine fifty eight hundred two
to three talk or pound five fifty on AT and
T founds love to hear from you. Yeah, I talked

(46:55):
about Snap getting shut off, no number of first, A
lot of people screaming and whaling and ashing teeth on
that one means to be seen whether the litigation was
filed by twenty five states can free up the remaining
five billion dollars and whatever pile of money's back behind
the scenes there, but it won't be enough to cover
the entire nut for the month of November. So let
him try, I suppose. But you could also just get

(47:17):
the Democrats open the government up. That'd be really easy.
Only need five more or six more and he would
be open and you wouldn't have to worry about Snap
being cut off. So, to the extent you want to
blame Trump, you can't. This is congressional action. This will
be the Senate landing squarely in the lap of the
Senate over which really Donald Trump doesn't have any control.
I mean, he can tell them what he wants them

(47:38):
to do, but he can't force them to do anything.
Why because he's not a king duh, but apparently shock
about the new cost for affordable care plans well being
revealed the pain that the Democrats want you to feel.
Of course, you have the SNAP memo going out letting
SNAP recipients know the November it's going to stop. Now,

(48:01):
you have the I Guess CMS or at least the
Obamacare website letting people know what life's going to be
like this year with the premium increase after the subsidies
are gone, and some pretty substantial increases. A journal we
refer to a couple named Clinton Cindy Cottrell, one of

(48:22):
the worst ones in the article that's talking about individuals
dealing with the premium increase. They have been paying three
hundred and five dollars a month for their plan, including
help from the subsidies. After the subsidies disappear, they will
be on the hook for twenty roughly twenty five hundred
dollars per month if they stick with the same plan.
According to their agent, he has musculo dyscophee a dystrophee.

(48:49):
She has regular injections because of her crippling nerve pain.
Agents say their fixed income combination of pension and Social
Security will be too high to qualify for federal help,
which the cap is I believe, sixty one five hundred dollars.
They say, we can't afford that premium, there's no way. Well,
I suppose if you go to cover since you, they'll

(49:10):
come up with a better path. It won't cost you
twenty five hundred bucks a month. But that's kind of
increased some people are facing. And that's a reflection of
how well broken the Obamacare plan is. The subsidies mask
the true cost. It's the it's the insurer of last resort.
And I'm guessing because Obamacare comes with a ten thousand

(49:30):
dollars roughly out of pocket responsibility in addition to the
twenty five hundred bucks that couple's going to be paying,
they're gonna have to pull out ten grand before the
insurance even kicks in. Does that sound like a good
solution for the nation's healthcare crisis that were facing. No,
Obamacare never was going to help us out. And I
bet you don't have your doctor six six fifty five

(49:52):
care se detalk station. One of the pillars is selling
that to is you can keep your doctor your insurance
pre six thirty one. I think about KR scene the
talk station. Happy Wednesday. Let's see what's going on here.

(50:14):
If anybody went to the Honor Flight Returns Home celebration
last night for the veterans, I'd love to hear from you.
It looked like a fantastic turnout. So thanks to everybody
who did make it. I'm sure you were inspired. Looking
forward to another Honor Flight season. I'll let you know
all the details on that we get the new schedule.
Of course, we'll have them on the program to talk
about that. Over the local stories. Tuesday welfare check over
in Madisonville ended with a person in the hospital since

(50:36):
a police Interim Chief Adam Henny, saying the officers were
called to a home on Haley Avenue about two pm
for a welfare check. Henny said after they got their
officers were met by a person with a gun. Officers
fired their weapons at the armed individual. Person now in
the hospital expected to be okay. Nor the details released

(50:59):
short and sweet Homicide Unit investigators after two people died
and a shooting happened yesterday in Heartwell. According the Cincinni
Police Department, quartered to are ten till noon. Police sit
officers called to the shooting on Leeds Lane off Compton.
Two people with gunshot wounds were found on the scene.
First responders attempted life saving measures, but both victims died

(51:22):
at the scene, identified as Jamelia Warren, twenty six, and
thirty two year old Eric Dawson. Police said the initial
investigation found Dawson shot Warren and then shot himself. Investigations
ongoing with the since an homicide unit. No other details
have been released. Thank you again to Box nineteen reporting
on that one. No my hometown del High Township making

(51:47):
it to local news. But are police there Dalai townships
surrounding signing alarms for residents. After noticing a increase or
and increase in vehicle thefts, two teenagers and a young
adult taken into custody overnight into let's see this be
twenty seven so the other day anyway, one case please

(52:07):
found a stolen vehicle in the parking lot of an
apartment complex on Glen Haven Rode two teen suspects one
fourteen and one point fifteen still in the car. Tenant
Joe Mulusko said, we made a decision to canvas the
area at night and with unmarked patrol and Derne patrol,
and we were lucky. We were able to catch them.
In the process, teenagers got out of the car tried
to run away, but officers were able to catch them.

(52:29):
Both charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor taken to
the juvenile detention center. Officers of the teens targeting parking
lots at apartment complexes on the township's east side. Twelve
hours later, to Hi police pulled over another stolen car
from Coal Ringe Township arrested a guy named Jacob Klein,
who was only eighteen, charged with receiving stolen property and
taken to jail. Police said that even though these cases

(52:51):
resulted in vehicles being returned to their owners, the problems
didn't end there. According to Macaluso, they're happy to get
their cars back, for the problem we run across is
they're ripping out the interior to get to the end
of the ignition, so it's costing them in their insurance
company's money to fix. After the spike and tests, police
reminded residents to stay vigilant, remove all valuable items from
your car. Lieutenant Macluso said, if you're going to go

(53:14):
to a holiday party with gifts, resist the temptation of
loading them in your car the night before, he said,
especially as we start getting really close to the Christmas
time where they think they're going to be going to
a party within the next day or so, so they
load the car up at night. Fortunately, that's when thieves
are out because they know items of value are probably
going to be in the car. He also said more

(53:36):
juveniles on the police department's radar for car thefts, and
more charges are expected to be filed against the fourteen
and fifteen year old they already have in custody. Is crazy,
how young these criminals are. You think if there was
really some serious accountability, if there was some serious justice
meet it out on these young people, that word would

(53:56):
get around that they're not going to get a free pass.
Just a theory, seems to be. It used to be
that way. USA Installation. It's six forty here, I fifty
have ker Seed Talk Station. Have a Wednesday High Green
Brewery West Brentwood location next Wednesday for listener lunch. Hope

(54:17):
we can make it, and I hope we have something
positive to talk about. I mean, we always had something
positive to talk about. Listener lunch is great fellowship and
I thoroughly enjoy meeting listeners and engaging with them and
just getting out having a byte eat at a place
you might not otherwise consider even going. So support your
local restaurants, your local establishments, join us at Listener Lunch,
have some good time, and again day after the election,

(54:38):
I do suspect we'll have a bit to talk about,
not just locally with the election here in Hamilton County,
City of Cincinnati, state issues, and of course these national elections,
gubernatorial races that are squeaker close between Republicans and Democrats.
We got this Zorhan Mandami character that's getting ready to
take over New York City, and what a frightening thing
that is Jaez, that is scary. You see some of

(55:01):
the things that that guy has said previously, anti police
statements among them. Since we have russ Neville coming up,
retired Captain Russ Neville is going to be talking about
his sister police chief DGI. He'll be in studio at
eighty five to talk about that. But don't think he's
a defund the police kind of mentality guy. We know
that Mayor Aftab Purvoal pretty much is sort of kind

(55:22):
of that guy. Maybe get to the bottom of that
with this investigation of the police chief. I don't know anyway,
Zoran Mondami making anti police statements, all resurfacing, maybe a
little late in the game for the New York City
residents to wake the hell up to this guy. He
was speaking in twenty twenty three, not that far ago.
That long ago. He was the keynote speaker at the

(55:44):
Democratic Socialist of America's National convention. That time, he said
it was important to connect hyper local and international issues,
whatever the hell of those two things mean. Speaking is
part of a separate panel called Socialist Internationalism the Solution
to the Crisis of Capitalism. Huh quote. We are in

(56:11):
a country where those connections abound, especially in New York City,
where there are so many opportunities to make clear the
ways in which the struggle over there is tied to
capitalist interests over here. Wait a minute, or what location
is he referring to when he says over there? Quite
revealing in the next sentence. For anyone to care about

(56:32):
these issues, we have to make them connect, meaning the
local issues in the city of New York and international
issues over there. We have to make clear that when
the boot of the New York Police Department is on
your neck, it's been laced by the IDF. We have

(56:54):
to make it materially connected to their lives. So somehow
and in some way, the oppressive authoritative boot of the
New York the Police Department is being directed by the
Israeli Defense Force. This guy's batcrap insane. This is a
noted anti Semite. And you know, there were so many

(57:20):
Jewish people in the city of New York. I can't
imagine that any of them would vote for this guy.
And yet, for whatever reason, the Jewish community has rallied
around Democrats for decades. I've never understood that ever. I
just I've got lots and lots of Jewish friends, and
I've had conversations with him about it, and this kind
of laugh and roll their eyes or I've never gotten

(57:42):
a decent, clear explanation for that. But maybe it's because
they perceive the Republicans as a bunch of Christians and
for some reason what we can't all play along it
is the Judeo Christian ethic we're referring to here, but
quite revealing that also feeling the fact that he's taken
in campaign contributions from foreign nationals, which is illegal. He's

(58:09):
been referred by the filed by the Coolidge Reagan Foundation
referred to Zorhanman Dami criminally filed the referrals to the
Department of Justice's Criminal Justice Division Manhattan District Attorney Alvin
Bragg's office. Just yesterday, campaign brought in about thirteen thousand

(58:30):
dollars from about one hundred and seventy donors addresses outside
of the United States, donors including his mother in law
in Dubai. Federal law does prohibit campaigns from accepting money
from foreign nationals. To the spokesman for the organization, Mam
Donnie's campaign reportedly accepted donations from individuals abroad, some even
tied to regions and individuals openly sympathetic to hostile actors,

(58:53):
whether through negligence or intent, Its conduct undermines the integrity
of the democratic process. In fact, Mandammie's campaig And already
had to return some of the funds. According to the
New York Post, eighty eight donations with the total of
just over seven thousand dollars have not been returned, even
though they're identified as coming from foreign sources. I just

(59:18):
I've said it before, I saying I'm sixty, have you
said Brian Thomas we're gonna make you mayor of New
York City. I do not believe I have the requisite
skill sets to be mayor of New York City. Does
anyone believe Zorhanmandami at age thirty three has the requisite
skill set since he really has never held a job,

(59:38):
that he could run an entire city of New York?
Does anybody else wonder as I do, who his puppet
master is, because that person, those groups of people, those entities,
whoever is controlling his decision making. And I do believe
it's gonna be thoroughly controlled by outside influences. We have

(59:58):
a tremendous amount authority over this in New York, millions
and millions of people with billions of dollars of annual
revenue generated. Who is Jorhan Mondami's puppet master? Six forty
six fifty five KR city talk station. Frightening stuff going
on in the world right now? Plumb type station, This

(01:00:23):
shuy is six fifty one here fifty five KRSD talk
station five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five eight
hundred eight two three pound five fifty on AT and
T phone. Mareene thinks she has the answer. She says
it's George Soros, because Jorhan Mandamis has deep family ties
to George Soros. Maybe it is. I guess I have
just concluded, just again based on my own life experience

(01:00:45):
and how much life experience I had at age thirty three,
even though I had gainful employment as a litigation attorney,
doubt I had the requisite skill skill sets. So someone's
going to be making his decisions for him. Mariene has
guest first, So go to the phones, Mike, thanks for
calling this morning, Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 12 (01:01:00):
Hey Brian, real quick about my Donnie and about the
taking money from foreign nationalism. I mean, what exactly is
the penalty for that? You to return the money and
that's it?

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
Probably you know, Honestly I don't. I don't definitively know
if you hid the contributions, if you made a conscious
effort to accept foreign contributions, if you're engaged in some
sort of coordinated criminal to be like a criminal endeavor
to to hide where the money came from. Maybe there
is some criminal charge. It could be levied or weight
or some some finer penalty, but I think as of

(01:01:32):
right now, oh oh wait a minute, the money came
from some foreign donor whoops here, let me give it back.
And I think that unrings the bell of any penalty.

Speaker 12 (01:01:40):
Right, it should be more string and I kick you
off the ticket or something. I mean, I should be
something mind it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Yeah, And you know, the world such a small place
now with all these pay apps and PayPal and the
like and instant transfers of money and ease of coordination.
That's another thing the Internet's allowed us to do. You
can see it in the form of protests becoming more
and more successful, because if the word can literally get
out to everyone, some slice of humanity is going to
get the word and they're going to show up. Not

(01:02:08):
that they would have in the absence of the Internet.
They probably never would even have heard about whatever rally
you're going to do. But behind the scenes, you could
get a whole bunch of people to put collectively together
on a global basis five bucks here, ten bucks there,
and then sort of pile it up in a package
and have some political action committee receive the money and
never know where that money came from. The ease with
which you can hide contributions is just a frightening thing

(01:02:31):
going on right now. So I don't know there's a
solution to it, but at least in the case of Mondami,
they've identified foreign contributions. H coming up in a job
a big picture with Jack ed than to make America
sing again. And one more thing, because I've been on
a terarabot, We're going to get nuclear power. It seems
pretty obvious. US government and Westinghouse just agreed on an

(01:02:54):
eighty billion dollar deal to construct a whole bunch of
nuclear power plants in this country, fulfilling the Donald Trump's
goal of doing just that. It's going to create they say,
forty five thousand manufacturing and engineering jobs in forty three states,
and national deployment will create more than one hundred thousand
construction jobs. All good for the country. And of course, abundant, unlimited,

(01:03:16):
twenty four hour days, seven day week, carbon free nuclear
power is going to save us. Bill Gates is on board. Now.
I thought this was rather hilarious. After spending billions of
dollars on climate change programs, carbon capture programs, blah blah blah,
the Gates Foundation, which has spent huge sums of cash
the companies working on reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, Bill

(01:03:36):
Gates has changed his mind, saying now climate change will
not lead to humanity's demise. Hmm. Pen lengthy blog post
last week urging a shift away from doom the doomsday
outlook quote. Although climate change will have serious consequences, particularly
for people in the poorest countries, it will not lead

(01:03:57):
humanity's demise. People will be able to live and thrive
in most places on the Earth for the foreseeable future.
Where's al gore? He even noted some of the ways
of the obsessive focus on lower and greenhouse gas emissions
has negatively impacted the very groups crime and alarmists, if warned,
would suffer them most to rising global temperatures. Quote. A

(01:04:18):
few years ago, the government of one low income country
set out to cut emissions by banning synthetic fertilizers. He
pointed out, farmers yield plummeted. Huh, there was much less
food available and prices skyrocketed. The country was hit by
a crisis because the government valued reducing emissions above other

(01:04:40):
important things close quote yeah, like eating eating. He also
noted that heat less of a problem than cold, far

(01:05:04):
greater threat to humanity, writing surprisingly, excessive cold is far deadlier,
killing nearly ten times more people every year than he does. Plus,
it's plant food that carbon dioxide. So Bill Gates is
on board. He's got a vested interest in artificial intelligence,
among other things. He's got to vested interest in an
abundance of power. He knows that a windmill is not

(01:05:25):
going to power his projects going forward. At least he
appreciates the broader societal implications of chasing our tails. People die.
What it's a pleasure having you on the program. Apparently
we're gonna make America sing again, Jack.

Speaker 10 (01:05:41):
We're gonna try, and we're gonna try. Thanks, brother, I
guess you jolted us away, showing how Democrats keeping the
federal government shut are trying to incite supermarket sweep theft
by people on food stams. Yeah, unless Republicans extend SUBSI
COVID subsidies for Obamacare for another ten years and also

(01:06:06):
pay healthcare costs for tens of millions of illegal aliens,
all to the tune of one point five trillion dollars
in deficit spending, we don't have. So, I guess the
last thing we want to do this morning is sing.
But folks, I think we have to as long as
we're singing the right kind of songs. A little history.

(01:06:30):
Twenty five hundred years ago, when China was being torn
apart by internal conflicts, Confucius said you could judge the
morality of a nation by its music. Around the same
time as ancient Greece was declining from its Golden Age,
Plato warned about how music could warp the minds of kids.

(01:06:52):
He instead called for music that promoted virtue. What used
to be called the Great American Songbook includes thousands of
songs that show how our country grew, assimilated, and celebrated
what it means to be an American. So I'm urging
kids and adults to resist peer pressure, to stand up

(01:07:15):
to popular culture and think about what we're hearing and
what we've lost our continence. First songs were, of course,
Native American chants and dances. Shamans said they received them
in dreams from spirit beings. They became the heartbeat of
the prairies and plains. It's hard to imagine a Western movie,

(01:07:35):
especially one of the old classics, without hearing those hypnotic rhythms.
Even Cold Porter in the twentieth century began one of
his most haunting songs, Night and Day, with Fred Astaires
singing about the beat beat beat of the tom tom.
The first Europeans brought their own songs. Now stern Pilgrims

(01:07:55):
did not allow musical instruments. They rejected established church rituals
that employed organs and even whole orchestras. But the Pilgrims,
even the Pilgrims, did sing, including the women. As long
as the women sang with the men, there was no
danger that they would become Jezebels. The pilgrim's first hymn, though,

(01:08:16):
came from England, not from England directly. Actually, it came
from Holland, the big hearted nation that first gave Pilgrims
shelter from the religious persecution they had faced in England.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
So Brian.

Speaker 10 (01:08:29):
The earliest hymns in America were not only about religion,
they were about religious freedom and tolerance. Each new wave
of European immigrants brought songs from the old countries, the
Scottish and Irish, contributing tunes that all Americans came to
cherish thanks to popular performers, for instance, Harry Lauder. Most

(01:08:51):
people have never heard of them today, but wearing a
kilt and tam o shanter, Harry became one of America's
first superstars or Blain songs like Roman in the Gloman.
But singing wasn't reserved for Harry and other stars. Almost
every middle class American home had a parlor, and every

(01:09:11):
parlor had a piano. Everyone sang at first foreign and
then American songs. The band called the Father of American
Music was born in eighteen twenty six just outside Pittsburgh.
He composed here in Cincinnati with the canned do American spirit.
Stephen Foster taught himself piano, guitar, flute, and clarinet. Then

(01:09:37):
he wrote giddy robs like Camptown Races, Douda Duda, but
also wistful songs, songs of separation, because separation defined America.
Back in Europe, most people never left home. The new
Americans were pioneers and wanderers. We all know the refrain

(01:09:57):
O Susanna, don't you cry from me? I come from
Alabama with a banjo on my knee. You can still
hear James Taylor's recording these things it beautifully, but most
people don't know this verse from that song. I soon
will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around,
and when I find Susanna I'll fall upon the ground.

(01:10:20):
But if I do not find her, this darkie will
surely die. And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't
you cry. Darkies were almost all slaves in eighteen sixty four,
when Stephen Foster died so young. There's not a trace
of African or Caribbean music in Oh Susannah. But you

(01:10:42):
could feel and you could hear field hollers on plantations
and levees and spirituals in black churches, all with roots
in West Africa. One hundred years later, they intoxicated a
white kid from Memphis. Elvis's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, is
supposed to have said he was looking for a white

(01:11:03):
guy who could sing black because in the nineteen fifties
you still needed white pop singers to cover black songs.
Boo nexs, Yeah, Pat, he's still with us, he still
walking stuff on TV. Thanks to the Civil Rights Movement,
all of that finally changed. Motown replaced New York's Tinpan
Alley the legendary capital of songwriting. But long before Motown,

(01:11:27):
black musicians had made their mark, at least with a
smaller audience. Louis Armstrong's best records date from the nineteen
twenties with his New Orleans Hot five and Hot seven.
Louis wailed on cornet, his wife Lil played piano, but
really it was all about rhythm. The original word for
jazz was jazz, meaning pep energy. Jazz led to swinging

(01:11:51):
big bands, bebop rock and the offshoots we have today,
including rhythms from a later immigrant group, East Indian. Even
if you've never seen a Bollywood movie, you're probably dancing
in a club to Hindi pop. Jazz gave us a
galaxy of geniuses the very few kids know today, Jelly
Roll Morton, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and my favorite, Duke Ellington.

(01:12:17):
The Duke broke songs that are as great as any
America ever produced, lush, magnificent melodies, try sophisticated lady. He
recorded it many times, including once with our local girl
Rosemary Clooney, and although racism kept Duke's band playing in
small town clubs many other time, he always considered himself

(01:12:39):
part of the Tinpan Alley mainstream, So a word about that.
It was less a stream than a mighty river in
its a day. From before the First World War until
the nineteen sixties when it was swamped by rock and
then grunge, rap, techno, and whatever is coming next. Tinpen
Alley's Great American Songbook included every threat of the American fabric,

(01:13:04):
European waltzes made American by the great Jerome Kern and
Rogers and Hart, City rhythms and blues of George and
Ira Gershwin, the sophistication of Cole Porter, the down home
poetry of Hoki Carmichael. I'm glad you mentioned Johnny Mercer.
You love his stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
Hellie Carmichael was brilliant.

Speaker 10 (01:13:23):
He was He was He Seemen one of the greatest
movies ever, the best years of our lives. America's quite
essential songwriter was Irving Berlin. I think a Jew from
Czarist Russia, actually Siberia. Irving started out at New York's
Bowery in nineteen oh six as a singing waiter. English

(01:13:44):
was his second language and he couldn't read music. But
Irving Berlin provided the words and music for America Alexander's
ragtime band. Gee I Wish I was back in the
Army That was sung after both the First and Second
World Wars. Girl is like a melody Easter Parade, White Christmas,

(01:14:04):
God Bless America. The list is endless. Every performer of
every race and creed has played or sung Irving Berlin
and America's other top songwriters of that time for more
than one hundred years. Lady Gaga, for one, still does
them wonderfully, especially with the late Tony Bennett folks. I

(01:14:24):
don't know if most songs we're here in today will
last another one hundred years. It's a touchy subject, since
people love whatever music they've grown up with, if only
for nostalgia. But let me end with this. Older songs
almost always had melodies, and they almost always promoted American values.

(01:14:46):
That may sound corny as Kansas in August to quote
a lyric from Rogers and Hammerstein, but it's true. Take
a Sinatra ballot from the nineteen forties, not a classic,
but typical of the time. It's the same same old
dream finds young Frankie with the Bobby socksers longing for
a wedding. I can see as steeples surrounded by people,

(01:15:09):
and oh how real it all starts to seem then
once you're married. Even that arch sophisticate Cole Porter wrote
in his song easy to love. Oh, how we'd bloom,
how we'd thrive in a cottage for two or even three,
four or five. Oh, try to see your future with me,

(01:15:30):
because they'd be oh so easy to love. Those are
the songs that created the greatest generation. But I think
America's future will be even greater right now, Brian, if
once in a while we listen and maybe even sing
some of the old songs about faith, family, kindness, and patriotism,

(01:15:52):
and then building on that legacy, add a few more
states to our great American songbook. Now with a speaking
voice like yours, you must be a great singer.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
No, I'm not a great singer. I can carry a tune,
there's no question about it, but no one would ever
consider me great as far as singing is concerned.

Speaker 10 (01:16:11):
But you're rather treated sometime.

Speaker 1 (01:16:13):
Your focus, your subject matter focused, And I appreciate that.
And it seems to me, you know, societal evolution, it's
become far more acceptable to deal with very touchy subject
matters and song lyrics. I was writing down various names
I wrote down as you were speaking, Woody Guthrie, for example,
Pete Seeger, other rebels fighting for a cause and using

(01:16:34):
their music to advance a message. So you can find
subject matter driven music throughout the ages that might deviate
from these, you know, these appreciated wonderful concepts that you're
talking about. But I think it was I don't know
when it finally kicked in in earnest. Was it, you know,
the Woody Guthrie area that started protesting. I don't know,
but of course in the sixties you had a ton
of people Joan Bias, Pete seeger Uh, you know, taking

(01:16:57):
the mantle and using music as a form of pro
to advance some message. I even had a conversation with
Paul Atte just yesterday. I believe it was about a
Pink Floyd song. I was defending music taking positions contrary
to what I believe. Notably, I have some measure of
respect for the use of music if it's done in
a brilliant fashion, if it's done lyrically wonderful, and they

(01:17:17):
can deliver a message that makes you go hmm. I
appreciate that. And I've always said, you know, if I
had to throw out all of the musicians that disagree
with me politically, a lot of music that I dearly love,
I wouldn't be listening to but there was this song
back on the final cut, Pink Floyd's Final cut called
Fletcher Memorial Home, and he talks about getting Reagan and
Haig and Margaret Thatcher and Monochambag and everybody, all these

(01:17:41):
world leaders put him in a room called the Fletcher
Memorial Home. And then the final line in the song
is now the Final Solution can be applied, which is
horrific when you think about what that means. He was
talking about applying the Nazi Final Solution on all these
world leaders he's gathered up in a building to let
him talk to each other to make themselves feel And
I said, you know what, I don't agree with the

(01:18:03):
people he's identified, but you could name a whole bunch
of global world leaders, dictators like Jijin Ping, and I conceptually,
in a lyrical manner, in a theoretical level, wouldn't mind
putting them in a room, have them talk to each other,
and then maybe apply the Final solution to all these
evil dictators who were a bunch of murderous thugs. Music

(01:18:23):
can be you know, I guess, it can steer the
direction of a conversation. It can get you talking. And
we had a nice long conversation about the importance of that.
So that's my take on it.

Speaker 10 (01:18:37):
Jack Atherton, Well, I don't know if it's so much
about subject better because we've had protest songs since we
first set foot.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
Oh, Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Speaker 10 (01:18:47):
Pilgrims were protesting, they were protestants, That's what it was
all about. Yeah, Yankee Doodle Dandy was a protest song.

Speaker 1 (01:18:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:18:55):
John Brown when he was marching off to Harper's Ferry
and singing Glory, Gloria, Hallelujah, that was a protest song. True,
And you can have protest songs that are protesting all
the wrong things. Hitler had his Hitler youth singing the
Horse Vessel Song, which was about making the streets free
for stormtroopers. You have, But I don't think it's so bad.

(01:19:18):
We hear plenty of protest songs. You can put on
the news and watch people in Chicago and Seattle every
night of the week protesting with pretty bad songs, I think.
But who am I to say? I don't think it's wrong, though,
and that's why I brought this up. Love it every
once in a while to have a song about gratitude
because we have a lot to be grateful for you.
You wouldn't know that from a lot of the songs

(01:19:39):
that you hear today.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
Most of them might say one thing, one category music
that I'm not a huge fan of that you can
kind of count on for at least being patriotic more
often than any other. It's country music. You get some
really good, solid patriotic, pro American songs as some of
those country artists. Jack edan really cool conversation this morning.
I'm glad you came on the program, as I always am,
and I thoroughly appreci your willingness to do so. And

(01:20:01):
I hope you have a great week and best of
health and loved you and Amesley, your.

Speaker 10 (01:20:05):
Better half, can't wait to hear that singing.

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Don't hold your bread Jack seven twenty one, Right now,
fifty five KRSITE talk station, Donald o' neil afp Dear
CD talk station. It's seven twenty nine, fifty five KERR
CIT talk station. Happy Wednesday. Fast forward an hour. Judge
Ennen of Politano jailed in America for free speech, preceded

(01:20:30):
by retired captains in Saint Police Department. Captain Russ Neville
cann Be talking about his sister police chief three categ
FIGI and the saga that's going on right now brought
to you by Afteb Purvol and city Manager Cheryl Wan.
So I'm looking forward to having Russ in the studio
talk about that. Also looking forward to as I always
do this segment because Donovan and Neil from Americans Were
Prosperity joins a program every every week at this time

(01:20:52):
to talk about stuff and things and what AFP is doing.
Most notably today, Let's get the government going again. That's
the Democrats issue, is it not. Donalvanilcome back to the
Morning show, Brian.

Speaker 13 (01:21:02):
Always a pleasure to be with you.

Speaker 9 (01:21:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:21:04):
At twenty eight days and the federal government second longest
shut down in American history at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:21:11):
And people are getting ready to start feeling the pain.
I know the Snaps in a notice out to SNAP
recipients in November first, they're not going to have any
more money left. Donald Trump says there is no money left.
Lawsuit just filed by twenty five states saying hey, you
got five billion dollars you're sitting on. Sadly, even if
they win that lawsuit and they allocate that pile of
money wherever, that happens to be Donovan, it's not going
to be enough to even cover the nut for the

(01:21:31):
month of November, which is widely reported as nine billion dollars,
far exceeding the five billion dollars that apparently is laying
in a pile somewhere in Washington.

Speaker 13 (01:21:41):
Yeah, and that's that's really what we're facing up against.
And you've got talking points coming out of you know,
radio shows and television interviews with Democrats. Who are you
talking about the political pressure point that they're using this for.
This isn't about policy, Brian, It's about politics for the
Democrats right now, and why they're not breaking ranks in
the Schumer shutdown.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
Right, Well, let's go down the list. Here we have it,
among others, Senators Martin Heinrich, paying our troops gives the
president more leverage. Bernie Sanders, you reopen the government and
we lose our leverage, Chuck Schumer. Every day gets better
for us, meaning the Senators, not the American people. Rubin Gallego,
then i'd get just go back to another shutdown again

(01:22:23):
after this one. Chris Coons, Frankly, this is our only
moment of leverage, and although a very unpleasant tool to use,
and finally we have Catherine Clark, Congresswoman. There will be
families that are going to suffer, but it is one
of the few leverage times we have. Well, they're revealing
their hand quite openly. They know it's painful, they know
it's stupid, they know they own it. They know that
the funding levels have not been reduced. They don't have

(01:22:45):
any argument that the Republicans somehow gutted government spending and
passing the clean cr from the twenty twenty four funding levels.
I thought that was brilliant from the Republicans taking out
that argument that they of course would have. The only
thing they have the hand to hang on, the hang
to hang their hat on, is that these subsidies are
going to end. For Obamacare, subsidies that in their own
legislation passed I believe exclusively by Democrats, has a cutoff

(01:23:09):
date of the end of this year. Hm. I guess
this is a Democrat's fault. Huh, Donovan, Well, that's absolutely right.

Speaker 13 (01:23:16):
They set temporary subsidies to end that have nothing to
do with the funding and function of our federal government.
And I think that's why Republicans conservatives have the moral
high ground in this in this argument and are winning it.
But this isn't about winning the argument, right, Brian. It's
a budge, just getting to a normal order of business
opening our federal government so that you know, these benefits

(01:23:38):
that are you know, promised to individuals in this country
are able to flow to them, so that we can
get back to getting the budget done in both chambers
and sent to the President's desk, so for the first
time and forever, we can actually have a normal budget
process and fund our federal government. And here's the thing too, Brian,
that we're not talking about as well, but starting to
come into focus. We're not getting done because we're stuck

(01:24:00):
in this stalemate. Right. We've got opportunities to do immigration reform.
We've secured the border through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act,
but there's opportunities here to further reformer immigration system so
that it works for the people coming to this country
and the people in this country already. We've got opportunities
to do more in terms of decisions in reforming government
to make it work better for the people. And here's
a big one, permitting reform. We've got to get permitting

(01:24:23):
reform done so we can unleash energy abundance and help,
you know, bring down the costs for homeowners as well
as manufacturers in this country when it comes to energy.
Although that's not happening, Brian, because we're stuck in this
Schumer shutdown. That's sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
All right, head caller earlier in the program, and I
think it's an important time to interject this question. Maybe
you have the answer, maybe you don't, but it seems
to me odd if the Republicans weren't in recess, couldn't
they be working on things? Couldn't they be sitting down
and working on appropriations bills or at least maybe making
phone calls as senators are obviously still doing their job, well,
not doing their job, but at least is still in Washington, DC.

(01:25:00):
Get him out of recess, let him start working on legislation.
Couldn't they actually, is it possible for them to pass
something out of committee even during a government shutdown, because
they're still being paid their salaries. They could still do
their work and show up in DC, pass something out
of committee, put it up for a vote, and to
it happens.

Speaker 13 (01:25:20):
Yeah, I'm not entirely plugged into the strategy that Speaker
Johnson has in terms of how he's running his chamber
with this. But my understanding is, and I think it
fits in is right as a matter of policy, is
the House of Representatives got their clean Continuing Resolution done
back on September nineteenth. That was the deal that was
negotiated with Jeffreyes and Schumer and a Senate majority leadership.

(01:25:45):
But then when Schumer started getting unrest from his left flank,
he realized he had to This was a This was
a point where he had to put a put a
stake in the ground and cause the shutdown.

Speaker 12 (01:25:59):
We need to get done.

Speaker 13 (01:26:01):
Is it's real simple, pass the clean Continuing Resolution. The
Senate has had thirteen opportunities to pass this. Republicans and
three Democrats have joined consistently to open the government up.
That would cause Congress to come back into session, would
get these committees moving, And I think really as a
matter of principle, this is a clarifying moment for America

(01:26:23):
and for Congress. Are we going to allow folks like
Senator Schumer and the Democrats in the Senate to use
this as a circus to score political points on President
Trump and the new Republican majority, or are we going
to get to a normal order business, reopen the government
with a clean continuing resolution and then go back to
debating and discussing bills with an open government rather than

(01:26:45):
a closed federal government.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
Well, I'm a little perplexed by the idea that they
in insisting on this painful government shutdown, which will become
more painful for a lot of regular Americans each and
every day, that they can score points against Trump off
of keeping the government shut down. Let's review Democrat votes
required to open the government. Democrats have voted thirteen times
to keep it closed. Democrats refuse to fund government unless

(01:27:08):
Congress restores left wing projects, and Democrats admit to using
pain as leverage and boast every day that it gets
better for us. Some of the quotes I just gave
you all the all the arrows, all the facts, all
the information points of the Democrats owning this thing. How
in the hell could it possibly inure to their benefit?
And to be a point against Donald Trump, who's screaming
about trying to get the government back open.

Speaker 13 (01:27:29):
Again, Well, a lot of ways it's that messaging war, right,
making sure that that folks aren't distracted with the dips,
dives and dodges that the crabs are doing right now,
and that's a lot of what you're seeing right It
started out as this is about, you know, health making
sure that we make permanent these COVID subsidies for Obamacare. Well,

(01:27:50):
then it's about, you know, we've got to restore some
things that were lost into one big beautiful bill act
that you know, impacted folks on Medicaid. And then it's shifting,
you know, it shifts every week into something different that
the Schumer shutdown is about. And why the Democrats they're
looking for something to stick here. The reality is September nineteenth,

(01:28:12):
Republicans passed a clean continuing resolution, sent it over to
the Senate, well ahead of the October first funding deadline
into the fiscal year. Democrats chose to shut down the
federal government rather than vote for a clean, no frills
continuing resolution, and that they've got to hang that hat
on their heads now. And that's the important thing of
getting out there and talking about this is that it's

(01:28:34):
a very easy fixed Brian. As you've outlined, there's nothing
to negotiate, nothing to a broker. It's just open the government.
A very simple premise that is being convoluted in the
mainstream media by by Democrats and their allies.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
All right, let's just say for the sake of discussion
that the Democrats can pitulate, they open the government back up,
and they continue this ongoing discussion over the extension of
these supplements, which is what the Republicans say they are
willing to do once you get the government open. Now,
do I really believe the Republicans are going to be
interested in continuing these subsidies down the road? Not really.
And the Democrats, I think, appreciate that, which means opening
the government up is going to end the debate over

(01:29:13):
the continuation of the subsidies. But do you think, in
the back of your mind or do you think, as
a matter of going forward, if it were to go
in that order, the government opens, they sit back down
at the negotiation table, do you think there's a lot
of Republicans or enough Republicans to capitulate and give them
something in return by way of supplements.

Speaker 13 (01:29:31):
Oh, I mean, that's part of how Washington works, right,
That's politics is a lot of negotiating, debating, and discussing
on ideas. Now, whether certain folks will come to the
table in good faith or not that there's a whole
other factor at play. But I think, you know, throughout
the process, going back to the passing the one big
beautiful bill at the working Family's tax cuts, right, there

(01:29:51):
were opportunities for Democrats to vote the support of many
of those provisions right that they would say they agree with, right,
no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, making sure
that working Ohioans Americans keep their lower tax rates. But
you know, they allow themselves, I think, to get tangled
up on the areas where there's more disagreement than agreement,

(01:30:12):
and I think there's opportunities for debate on that. That's
how this works, That's how the process works, and the
opportunity we have now. I believe it was Senator Housted
who said this at a function I was at a
few weeks back. You know, we can debate and discuss
these things with the government shut down and not functioning,
or we can debate and discuss these things with the
government open and functioning like normal. And that's really the question.

(01:30:35):
Do we want to debate these things while people are
losing their snap benefits, military members are going and paid
air traffic controllers are going on demonstration and walking off
the job. Or do we want to do this where
folks are getting their benefits, federal employees are being paid
to do their jobs. DC police are getting paid to
do their jobs, and our military men and women are

(01:30:56):
being able to send their paychecks home to their families.
It's real simple. I choose that option. Right, Let's go open
the government up and have to te to have these
debates and discussions and see.

Speaker 7 (01:31:04):
Where we land.

Speaker 1 (01:31:05):
All right, I presume that the call to action will
be for our listening audience to have these discussions out
loud with their neighbors and their friends. Is there any
other action item you might suggest, Donovan O'Neil.

Speaker 13 (01:31:16):
Well, yeah, go, that's absolutely right. Also, go to makes
Governmentwork dot com. Makesgovernment Work dot Com. There are a
number of active pieces of legislation that when we get
the government back open to get done, to get sent
to the President that would present government shutdowns like this
from happening ever again in the future. So go to
Make Government Work dot Com to learn more.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
Donald Neil, Americans for Prosperity. I always appreciate what you're
doing for well everybody, and thanks for coming on the
show every week to talk about these issues, and folks,
it's within your grasp to help out get over the websites,
Donovan recommends every week and engage. They make it very easy. Donovan,
we'll talk again next week. Have a fantastic week. Between
now and.

Speaker 8 (01:31:55):
Then its full southbound seventy one A wreck near Fields
Eardle and a two seventy five chuck Ingbramont fifty five
care Seed the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:32:11):
Fifty five ker CD talk station. You were listening to
Jack add and he was talking about make America Sing
again and handpicking some really wonderful tunes over the years
and inspirational tunes and historical references throughout as is typically
the case. Before I get to cribbage, Mike, he's on
the phone just a second mic little heroes there in
honor of the Honor flight, folks. Uh. One of the

(01:32:33):
more funny things that Joe Strekker has done, and he
has done a lot of funny things. And I'm talking
to Jack add Am, I listening audience, of course chat
EPT apparently to the rescue at least some form of
artificial intelligence. Now, whether or not you go back and
listen to the podcast page fifty five care Seed dot
com and listen to what Jack Atherdan had to say
and his brilliant words this morning. You've got to check

(01:32:54):
out the album cover Joe Trekker created Jack Addington with
an Elvis like jumpsuit. Oh that's Tom. Tom Jones was
the impetus. He said, create an image of a Tom
Jones like image of an album cover featuring with this picture.
And of course he sent off a picture of Jack Avidant.

(01:33:14):
So Jack's head's in there, but of course it's massive
hair and a purple jumpsuit with sequins. And sadly, Joe
had to edit out the panties and bras that were
flying around through the air. I would have left them.
Joe Strecker, you cracked me up. A salute, got to
fifty five KC dot com. Put a smile on your face.
Welcome back, my submarine. Her friend cribbage. Mike, you were there.

(01:33:36):
You were there in the morning at CBG to see
the honor flight off. You were on the honor flight
and you were there for the what looks like amazing
return home celebration. Looks like folks came out in force
yesterday at CBG.

Speaker 7 (01:33:47):
Mike one percent, sir, and on the on the heels
of Jack Atherton. The only thing that might have been
missing would a better rendition of Irving Balin's God Bless America.
But they surely made up board even without, because you know,
it's very easy to get pulled down by the news
of the day, whether it be what's going on downtown
or zoron Mondami or obviously very front and center yesterday

(01:34:09):
in d C is the government shutdown. And I know
a lot of people on the margins, or maybe not
even on the margins, maybe going through some difficult times.
But if I may be a little bit selfish, it
was very easy getting around DC yesterday.

Speaker 1 (01:34:26):
Because it's shut down, no lines of traffic there. The
bus has.

Speaker 7 (01:34:33):
Got a bus driver who knows DC like the back
of her hand. I mean she even have made the
comment at one point. But just Brian, it never gets old.
I've been involved with the program for twelve years. I've
been on about eight flights now, and it just it's
so uplifting, just the assault of the earth people to
have eighty seven veterans and their guardians too. As luck

(01:34:54):
would have it, I was sitting right next to on
the bus all day long. The Vice principal of my
former my aunt alma mater, Elder High School, and his
dad was a Vietnam veteran, So talking things Elder and
his dad, and you know, but when you go around
and now that yesterday, like yesterday, eighty five of the
eighty seven or Vietnam vets that even though our program

(01:35:15):
was instituted, was to get those World War two vets
to the Memorial and across the nation. We did that.
You know, mission accomplished. But now we have a new
charter because we all know what those Vietnam vets went through.
And the last portion of our day we spend about
two two and a half hours right there in the
triangle between the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, and
the Vietnam Wall. And now that the majority of our

(01:35:38):
Vietnam vets in every Honor Flight hub around the country,
there's around one hundred and twenty five. Yesterday there was
a group there from Iowa and it's so neat because
what we all do and you've seen it in the pictures.
You know, our Vietnam Our Honor Flight wear gold T shirts.
This group from Iowa yesterday had yellow wind breakers and
to see like school kids are just citizens, you know,

(01:35:59):
reach shout and shake their hands. But to spend that
two hours there assisting these Vietnam vets because a lot
of them they may have seen the Traveling Wall, but
it's their first time actually seeing the wall just so compelling. Yeah,
to hear the story.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
Sorry, no, I get it all day long. I was
just in awe. I had never seen the memoria, the
Vietnam Memoria before we went there, when I was on
the honor flight, and I'd seen pictures of it, and
it never really it never impressed me. It looks so
dark and so bleak and just you know, like something
from two thousand and one of Space Odyssey. But when

(01:36:33):
you're there and you see it and you see all
those names there, I'm my opinion of the Vietnam War
Memorial Memorial changed just instantaneously. I was quite moved by
seeing it. I mean, it really had a profound impact.

Speaker 7 (01:36:47):
And what allows us to assist. There's a and if
anybody can look it up any times, it's called virtual
Wall dot or org. Virtual wall dot org. And as
long as you know the last name or even the
city or state, you can look you know, and I'll
be scrolling you know, like I looked up in an
individual's last name was Davis, and it just seems like
you're going forever and you're not even out of the

(01:37:09):
d's and the a's, you know, just just a gut punch,
but you know, the people there to pay tribute and
the welcome home. I just had some antidotal stories last night.
I mean, you saw some of the pictures, A huge
shout out to La Coda East that's always there, but
that was the first time the entire varsity varsity cheerleader
squad was there in uniform, you know, just cheering that

(01:37:32):
we had. And I didn't know it at the time,
but one of our veterans was a retired school teacher
from Saint Cecilia, so his former teachers and students were there.
I took a picture there of some of the little
child holding, you know, welcome home, Grandpa, and you know,
I get a chuckle every time, Brian, but just you know,
because we were name tags as on our flight staff

(01:37:52):
members and are you quibbage, Mike. But she's a regular listener,
and because what you put out yesterday, she said I
had to come and see it. And I'm so glad.
I did, so I can't. And there was another veteran
who told me that he's been to the parade before.
He's an American Legia member and he's been there to

(01:38:13):
welcome home former post members. But he said, Mike, I've
got to tell you, it was a whole lot different
being on this side of the rope. And that's what
it's all about.

Speaker 1 (01:38:21):
Amen to that. If it would you say it was
a record turnout. I know you had a couple of
thousand last time, but they're.

Speaker 7 (01:38:28):
All his best, as CBG can tell us, And well,
you saw they were up there on the balcony or
at least I don't know, five to sixtyst all the
way around our racetrack. I mean you're easily talking fifteen
hundred to two thousand is what the CBG tells us.
That's great, you know, and seeing that other group there
from Iowa and Cheryl, our CEO, Cheryl Pop put it
out on our bus because there are one hundred and

(01:38:49):
twenty five other cities just like ours been doing what
we do. That Honor Flight National put out a number
that we've now been able to take two hundred and
eighty thousand veterans to DC to honor them.

Speaker 1 (01:39:02):
Isn't that amazing? Such an amazing organization, and God bless
you and everybody who's involved in it. And I imagine
quite a few allergy moments there, Mike, Well, you heard
me just there. Just I know it. I've lived it, brother,
I know it. I hear it in your voice, and
it comes from a thing up place of love and
care and concern. And no one knows more than you,

(01:39:24):
having lived the experience career military. You were Navy, specifically
on a submarine of all places. God bless you, Mike.
Really appreciate your friendship. I truly do. It's one of
the benefits of being here in the fifty five KRC
morning shows to meet men like you and people like
you and establish these friendships, and it's something I cherished, truly,
and I thank you so much for giving us a
report from yesterday. Keep up the great work you and

(01:39:45):
everybody unveil at Honor Flight tri State dot Org. We'll
do it again next season. I'll look forward to doing
it as well. Stick around, folks. Coming up after the
top of the our news, retired Captain Russ Neville. Can
I have a word or two about his sister? Please?
Chief three, Sohigi.

Speaker 4 (01:40:00):
Natifa would be Trumpe sas and Ryan Ruth guilty.

Speaker 1 (01:40:02):
On all I forgive him fifty five krs the talk
station at oh six Here at fifty five kr CD
talk station of a hair very happy Wednesday to your
bottom of the hour, Judge editor Paul Town here in
the fifty five Karcy Morning Show every Wednesday, and right
now sitting in front of me. And what a storied

(01:40:23):
family law enforcement they have. It's the Neville family. You
may have heard of them, retired Captain Russ Neville in studio.
You may have heard of Rick Neville. He was a
Hamilton County Sheriffs captain when he retired. And you may
have heard of their respective sister, police Chief Teresa Thiji.
So welcome Russ. It is great to have you in.

Speaker 11 (01:40:44):
All right, Thank you, thank you. This is awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:40:46):
Appreciate it, the family appreciate it, and hopefully your listeners
at the conclusion this will conclusion of this will also
appreciate it. From the political perspective.

Speaker 1 (01:40:55):
Well, and that's what I hope you can unfold for us,
because you know it's my favorite phrase anyone. It's like
the peace of God. It passes all human understanding. I
can't quite make heads or tails out of this, And
of course we're referring to Mayor Afteb provol and City
Manager Cheryl Long's decision to place Police Chief Threesa. Thiji
on paid administrative leave while this investigation goes on. And

(01:41:16):
I'll let you speak to this investigation they've launched. Apparently
they're going to be looking through I guess with twenty
twenty hindsight every single thing that Police Chief Thiji did
during her four years in the role of police chief
between now and December with some retained law firm from Columbus.
So we'll get to that in a moment, but real
quickly here, I want to thank you on behalf of

(01:41:37):
the Greater Cincinnati Listening audience for what you and your
family have done, your career in law enforcement, your brother,
and of course Police Chief Thiji's career. She's been at
it for thirty five years. How many years were you
on the since Ant Police Department.

Speaker 4 (01:41:49):
I did thirty four, Mike's a retired captain, did thirty four. Rick's,
a retired captain with the county, did thirty. My son's
on left. We have nephews on my sister Joyce retired
after thirty or so. But I do want to emphasize this.
Thank you for mentioning it, thank you for recognizing it.

Speaker 1 (01:42:09):
That's service man, that is.

Speaker 4 (01:42:10):
But Brian, this issue is absolutely not about the Neville
family or the legacy. It's nice to hear.

Speaker 1 (01:42:16):
Is anybody suggesting that it is. I would like to
think not.

Speaker 4 (01:42:19):
No. I just want to separate it out that we
are here. We appreciate the recognition, but the focus here
is Terry and it is where we hope voters in
the city of Cincinnati specifically challenge themselves to be open
to an except new leadership, and we can get further
into that, and.

Speaker 1 (01:42:38):
We will definitely do that. Russ. The city's got a
problem with crime. I talk to people all the time,
you know, Yeah, it's a pain down there. Look what happens.
I mean, we got Holly getting clocked in the face
for no reason by some random dude that she wasn't
even doing anything but rendering assistance. We have a Sarah
Herringer who gets her husband's stabbed in there over the
Rhine apartment right in front of her. He died in

(01:43:00):
her arms just a couple of and in addition to
all the gunshots ringing out, all the other murders and
all the other mayhem, the violence of property crimes. Everybody's saying,
we've got a crying problem downtown since that, except may
I have to have parvol who up until about five
seconds ago, kept going around. No, you have a perception problem.
It's a perception problem. So then pleasee g. Three g

(01:43:21):
gets thiet, he gets left, that your sister gets let go.
I don't how can I connect this? And how is
it that she's a scapegoat. She worked for him.

Speaker 4 (01:43:27):
Let me let me flow into this if we could, if.

Speaker 1 (01:43:29):
We have time, and I could interjet.

Speaker 4 (01:43:32):
I want cover Terry's career just a little bit. Thirty
four years, a mom of four, grandmother and nine at
this stage dedicated, committed, loyal, honest, direct and strong, and
she committed those years of this city. And people that
are in position of authority now have elected to scapegoader

(01:43:52):
and set that aside. I go back to It's not
about the Neville family. It's about the treatment of people
who currently in future desire to sit in that position
or other administrative positions such as fire chief.

Speaker 11 (01:44:02):
Those are very very critical issues.

Speaker 4 (01:44:05):
And it's about dignity and respect. We transition from that
to the political element of it. Family of eighty plus
Brian forty or fifty or a voter age, we're Democrats
in independence Republicans. We vote across the board, we talk
across the board, and we're fortunate that we can do
that as a family and still get along and enjoy
sitting down together. Point being, the mayor has failed in

(01:44:31):
managing this city, and we as a family for those
that continue to vote in the city, in those otherwise
in the county which it reaches out to, in other elements,
we recognize collectively that this is about leadership change in
the city the mayor, regardless of your party, this borders

(01:44:54):
on inhumane the treatment of Chief Thiji Terry Thiji when
he is leading this. I don't care what anybody says,
and we will wait for other elements to come out
as the lawyers on their side and the lawyers on
Terry side do what they do, and we'll leave that
process work itself out. He's wasting tax dollars. It's the

(01:45:17):
timing of the waste of tax dollars. When the money's
not there, the resources aren't there. He placed around leave,
then hires a law firm to conduct an inquiry. It's
a gross misuse of resources. And the constituents deserve better.
They deserve better. And then when we get to the
crime discussion that you offered up with, this.

Speaker 11 (01:45:37):
Crime is an EBB and flow Brian.

Speaker 4 (01:45:39):
Of course, you go back and look ten years, five years,
it's an evan flow. Different neighborhoods, different neighborhoods, gets hit,
You manage it, you control it, you put programs, you
put resources. Here's what gets me. There's fifty two communities
in this city. The mayor didn't step up and say
a word, didn't take actions until it hit the central

(01:45:59):
Business district, which it's a shame it has, and there
are plans and processes.

Speaker 11 (01:46:04):
To improve that.

Speaker 4 (01:46:05):
What about the other fifty one communities when he had
an opportunity to step up and make a voice and
make a point and try to do something silent? So
who's he really a mayor for.

Speaker 1 (01:46:15):
It's not for the city, No, clearly not. And I
mean I could go straight to the whole Hyde Park
development project. He throws connected communities over every neighborhood without
consulting any local neighborhood about its own personal self direction,
then makes exceptions for well connected developers. He did it
to bond Hill. But then again he doesn't care what
the constituents say. They scream out loud, he ignores them.
So I guess he's serving his own political interest in

(01:46:37):
his own whim. But back to the retention to this
law firm. If you read the retention letter or the
information that came out about it, they've been hired to
look at her record. It sounds to me like to
find some justification letter go. He didn't say out loud
anything that she did to justify him placing your own
administrative leave in the first place. So now he's got

(01:46:59):
a search committee out there looking for something in a
record so he can come back later and fill in
the blank. Oh yeah, by the way, back in October,
the reason I put her on in Australia's leads because
this thing she did two years ago, which isn't even
on her record right now.

Speaker 2 (01:47:12):
And it's interesting that you know, five eight nine days
before this came about, he stated to my brother that
there was no light between them, that he had full
confidence and faith and confidence in her. What happened, it
wasn't Terry's performance and it's asked backwards. Anybody that pays

(01:47:32):
attention or follows the treatment of people, or anybody's been
in a management position, and those who have been reporting
to management positions, they realize that this is backwards and
will allow what they do to the process to go forward.
I don't see them finding anything in Terry's history that
would be questionable to anybody, and we'll see what Terry's

(01:47:54):
attorney does with it from there. But it's asked backwards.
There's no better way to say it.

Speaker 1 (01:47:59):
Well, and they've been down this road before. You made
mentioned briefly of the fire department. We all know what
happened to Michael Washington. Michael Washington's going to get a big,
fat paycheck complements of the city taxpayers as a consequence
of him being terminated without cause. This sounds like lining
up for number two. They are already demonstrably incompetent in
the treatment of him. Looks like let's gear up for

(01:48:20):
another big check.

Speaker 4 (01:48:21):
I mean, obviously I can't speak on the check, I
can't speak on the ligation, but I will say what
they're doing is wrong, it's out of line, it's inhumane,
and it's a combination of the mayor and the manager.

Speaker 11 (01:48:38):
And for the mayor to set back and act as
if he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:48:41):
Have an influence on this or some involvement in this
is a blatant lie to his constituents.

Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
Blatant lied to his constituents. In studio, retired Captain russ Neville,
after a story curis insign police Department from an amazing
law enforcement family. Will continue talking about this issue that
we all can say something about because guess what, the
elections next Tuesday, and you do have an opportunity to vote.
And remember, the definition of stupidity is doing the same
thing over and over again expecting a different result. Forty

(01:49:07):
years worth here in the city of Cincinnati. How are
your roads parenthetically eight to fifteen station, it's eight nineteen
fifty five ker CD talk station. Yes, my conversation with
russ Neville continues even off air. That was where my
chuckles were coming from. Russ Neville, retired Captain of the
Cincinnati Police Department thirty four years. He said, that's just

(01:49:28):
absolutely amazing, all right, insofar as police chief. Theji's concerned again,
your sister and you're well connected with this issue because
of some family reasons. But simply because and by virtue
of your being a police officer for so long, you
know exactly how all of this works. Now, there was
a day prior to Issue five being passed where the collective,

(01:49:50):
the police officers themselves chose I believe, from among their
own ranks who they wanted elevated a police chief. I
think the last person to have that was a chief Striker, correct,
And I guess politics being what it is, Striker was
immune from being let go for any reason whatsoever because
he was subject to the union benefits in the corrective
bargaining agreement. So they changed the law. Issue five was

(01:50:11):
passed that gives exclusive control over the hiring and firing
of the fire chief and police chief to the city
manager and the mayor. Not even council gets to vote
on this.

Speaker 4 (01:50:20):
That's correct, So at least the manager. I don't know
what influence the mayor has, but by Issue five, if
I understand correctly, it's the city managers responsibilit higher well,
and I.

Speaker 1 (01:50:30):
Make the argument because the manager is at the behest
of the mayor, then we all know who's ultimately pulling
the strings here or operating the puppet, as the case
may be. FOP nod. So something seems to me out
of this very politicized thing that's going on to your sister,
the political nature of her being well put on administrative leave,

(01:50:53):
the wise of areforce, what led to this when things
seem to be so swimmingly wonderful, but with their relationship
need to be readdressed. Now. I thought Christopher Smithman had
a great idea, and I know that you've I think
you're in line at least along in a similar path
of Christopher's idea. Get the council members involved on some level.
What's your proposal? What do you think needs to be.

Speaker 4 (01:51:13):
Now one hundred percent agree with what both Kenny Kober,
the FOP president, and Chris Smithman wisely have shared in
some fashion. The authority to hire and or fire or
remove for whatever reason for just cause should be somehow
placed with council, such as a seven of nine or
a unanimous voute, not a simple majority where you get

(01:51:36):
five to four. It should be a stronger. You're talking
about people's livelihood. You're talking about what impacts years of
efforts and programs and planning and resourcing. So it needs
to be a much deeper thought. And I think it
has to go in front of a body much larger
than an individual.

Speaker 1 (01:51:51):
Well, you said more than five, because of course I
remember Gang of five like it was yesterday. So you
can get some nefarious activity going on behind the scenes,
set up firing. That's correct, easy to accomplish. Most notably,
did you know that there's a vote next week? We
get to vote on Tuesday and maybe change the administration.
Most notably, since all of the current council members are Democrat,
the likelihood of a uniform one lockstep vote is almost

(01:52:15):
assured under the current circumstances. We really do need some
different voices, Russ.

Speaker 4 (01:52:20):
One of the reasons, obviously, the primary reason that I
come on and the family requests a voice is to
defend and support Terry. The second is to discuss voting
there is it's there's no simpler way to say it
than the city needs new leadership, specifically at the mayor's position.

(01:52:43):
Early votings on going, Brian. It's seven thirty seven thirty
Monday through Friday. If you want to early vote, early vote,
you've got time. It's open Saturday till four, open Sunday
till five. Please take advantage of the early voting and
a point I'd like to make is if you have
voted in years for whatever reason, but you're registered, just

(01:53:05):
to go to vote Hamilton County, Ohio dot org and
see if you're still a registered and approved voter and
go vote. Nothing will change, whether it be city or
in the future county, but specifically, nothing will change city.
If the people who think this is wrong, if the
people who think this is in humane, or the people

(01:53:25):
out there who hear what the mayor says and says
that's not the kind of leader I want leading our city,
please vote. And I'm specifically talking to to some degree,
the West side of Cincinnati. I think the West side
of Cincinnati has an opportunity.

Speaker 11 (01:53:39):
To protect themselves here.

Speaker 4 (01:53:41):
I think they've been excluded from politics for quite a
few years. This is your chance to come out, make
a vote, change leadership and have a voice and a
seat at the table. In addition to the Hyde Parks
and Mount Washington's and Mount Lookouts, absolutely all fifty two communities,
but the fifteen on the West Side have been neglected.
Brian and I am begging them to come out and
make a vote.

Speaker 1 (01:54:01):
Yeah, it's time to retake the flag over on the
West side, I believe. So Listen, I grew up on
the West Side. I'm a delhesion by my roots man,
and what has happened over the years to you know,
Price Hill and Westwood, it's just deteriorated. And I'm not
blaming any particular individual, but it seems to me that

(01:54:21):
the West Side's sort of been the I don't know
if I can put it this way, the Section eight,
you know, relocation area. I know they rehabilitated and gentrified
over the Rhine. A lot of former Over the Rhine
residents can't afford to live there anymore. They had to
go someplace. Don't know if that's an issue or not.
I just know the West Side does not look like
it did, say fifteen, even twenty years.

Speaker 4 (01:54:41):
And I'll even take it a step further. I do
focus on the West Side. That's where we grew up
and I grew up, and I think we have tremendous
support there and I hope they come out and vote.
Let's go back to fifty two communities in the city.

Speaker 11 (01:54:52):
They deserve better leadership.

Speaker 4 (01:54:54):
As they do, and the only way they're going to
get is if they potentially step out of their comfort
zone and vote different than historically have voted and give somebody,
a group of people an opportunity to show more and
better going forward for the city.

Speaker 1 (01:55:08):
Well, I believe Corey Bowman does have prioritization, correct. I
know he is very anxious to get the roads resurfaced.
He's very anxious to do a better analysis of the
police department, support the police, get the contingent of police
officers up to a full contingent. He would take the
resources I think offered from the governor to get us
to that contingent to see if that solves the crime

(01:55:29):
problem we've got going on here. At least try it.
Don't reimagine the police department. Just take up the resources
that you got in front of us. Let's see what
we can do.

Speaker 4 (01:55:37):
If you sit back now and you believe that things
are good, consider voting the way you've been voting. If
you think change needs to be either, don't vote for
the current leadership when you go to vote for council
meaning the mayor or I go back to come out
of your comfort zone. Try something new and let's see

(01:55:59):
what we can do.

Speaker 1 (01:56:00):
There will be another election down the road. Give them
a shot. You may be surprised. Russ Neville. Thank you
for your service to our community. Yeah, go ahead finish.

Speaker 11 (01:56:10):
If I could.

Speaker 4 (01:56:10):
I just want to give a Facebook name and an
email if people are interested in following up.

Speaker 11 (01:56:17):
I Stand with.

Speaker 4 (01:56:18):
Police Chief Thiji is the Facebook page, and stand with
chiefdig at gmail dot com. Stand with CHIEFDG at gmail
dot com is an email that has been put out
to help coordinate what we're attempting to do.

Speaker 1 (01:56:32):
Help out all you can and vote Russ Neville. Thank
you for your service to the community. Thank your entire
family for their service to our community, and of course
your sister for ongoing at least efforts to serve the
community while we have to deal with this current administration.
Hopefully TikTok TikTok coming to an end eight twenty six

If you go to our next guest house on Friday Halloween,
not only will you get full sized Milky Ways and paydays,
but also receive a pocket constitution signed by Congressman Thomas Mancy.
It's the trick or treat trifecta. It doesn't get any better.
The Judge's next Chuck Ingram on fifty five krc HE

(01:57:24):
talks Station Ay thirty.

Speaker 1 (01:57:26):
Three to fifty one RCD Talks Station Happy Wednesday always
made an extra special thing because Judge entered up Politano,
to whom Chuck Ingram was referring, joins the program and
welcome back here, honor. He's setting you up for disaster,
Judge Polatana. Although because you live on a farm in
New Jersey, I have this vision. I've never been to
your place before. I don't know where it is, but

(01:57:47):
I have this vision of this really really sort of
not secluded, but like your nearest neighbors at least a
mile or more away. And you've got this driveway that's
about three hundred yards long. So to reach that full
sized candy bar and get a pocket constitution with the signature,
you're gonna have to make a hell of a journey.
Welcome back here, correct.

Speaker 3 (01:58:07):
And I'm in New York and the farm is in
New Jersey. I really thought that Ingram would mention the
Bengals Jets game. I was waiting to hear, Oh God,
sorry to raise a sore spot how good the Bengals
loves to the worst team in football.

Speaker 1 (01:58:23):
Oh, we become used to that. We always snatched a
defeat from the jaws of victory here in Cincinnati, your honor,
we're just waiting for it to have it. I was
so sad about that, because everybody in the crowd was
so enthusiastic until the end of the third quarter and
then just just fell off the rail. So anyhow, we're
used to disappointment.

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
Anyway, how are you. It's a pleasure to be with your.

Speaker 1 (01:58:43):
Brother, Always a pleasure to have you on. I'm always
in a great move when you're on the program, sir.
And I was actually in a total state of disbelief
with your column, which I'm fortunate enough to get an
early copy out comes out tonight at midnight. Jailed in
America for free speech. I was not familiar with the
subject matter that you got to, which you always did.
Larry Buschard and what happened to him, I don't know

(01:59:04):
how that flew underneath my radar, sir, but this in America,
that this happened, is to say.

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
A retired twenty four year police corrections officer, a veteran,
not a fan of Charlie Kirk, or of the movement
Charlie successfully created and advanced, and after Charlie's unfortunate, tragic,
and horrific murder, posted a lot of incendiary statements critical

(01:59:36):
of Charlie, critical of what this cop believed Charlie believed,
and critical of the people who were mourning his death.
In one of those postings, he quoted something President Trump
said when he was candidate Trump totally out of context.
So now I've got to go back to a year

(01:59:57):
and a half ago, these horrible murders in a school
in Perry County, Iowa. Trump is a candidate. Two days later,
people are saying, you know, we got to clamp down
on Second Amendment rights. And Trump made a very innocent,
what I thought was poignant, excellent statement, we have to

(02:00:18):
get over it, just like that. Now, this fellow Buschhart,
in the middle of the kerfuffle that occurred after the
Charlie Kirk murder, where people were losing their jobs, where
foreign students were losing their visas, where people were being
disciplined because of what they said about Charlie, this fella

(02:00:41):
Buschhart posts Trump's statement, we got to get over it.
He posts it. Remember the statement was made about Perry County, Iowa.
He posts it in where he lives, which is Perry County, Tennessee.
The local sheriff says, you're posting something about killing people

(02:01:05):
in a school. You're threatening mass killings in the Perry
County High School. We're going to arrest you. Now. There
is simply no connection whatsoever between quoting something candidate Donald
Trump said about a killing in Iowa in twenty twenty
four and the death of Charlie Kirk. There's no connection whatsoever.

(02:01:30):
How this sheriff's office sheriff, without an investigation, without an interrogation,
without any evidence about the present of parent ability to
do what he says this retired cop was threatening to do,
locked him up, and then the court imposed a bail
of two million dollars. This is a guy living on

(02:01:53):
a pension, and when his lawyers asked to have the reduced,
she the judge delayed their request for two months. This
is some sort of a small town gimmick to impair
this guy's First Amendment rights because he's an irritant and

(02:02:14):
they don't like what he posts on the Facebook. They
don't understand what he wrote. Guess what The First Amendment
protects speech, even that which is absurd and unintelligible except
to the speaker.

Speaker 1 (02:02:28):
Well, and that the statement that he quoted from Donald
Trump eighteen months prior was not Donald Trump advocating for
school shootings, right son.

Speaker 3 (02:02:39):
Donald Trump advocating for it's a tragedy. Let's turn the
page a perfectly appropriate statement to make about the school
shootings in Iowa and about the death of Charlie Kirk.
So you have a sheriff here, popularly elected. You have
a judge here, popularly elected. You have a base, a

(02:03:00):
population base probably decidedly pro Kirk. And here is an
opportunity for this sheriff and this judge to burnish their
political credentials by locking somebody up because he exercised the
freedom of speech. I had never heard of this guy.
I had never heard of the sheriff. I never heard
of Perry County, Tennessee, until I saw this in the intercept.

(02:03:26):
A website checked it out. It's accurate, and decided I
got to write about this because even in small town America,
the freedom of speech can suffer.

Speaker 1 (02:03:37):
And Lord Almighty Judge inn of Paulitano, you're on all
the time you're judging freedom podcast, you're on my show,
You're on a multitude of different shows. You speak regularly.
You have a free speech right. You know you can
exercise it. But this case illustrates and so do I.
There but for the grace of God, some corrupt public
official who's got a bone to pick with you can

(02:03:58):
just haul you off to jail and get a complicit
judge to keep you in jail. You mentioned in the
article what does it take fifteen minutes to do a
bail hearing? They kicked this bail hearing off, effectively denying
him of his liberty. Because what pensioner can come up
with even ten percent of two million dollars? They stick
them in jail and keep him there for a couple
of months.

Speaker 3 (02:04:18):
How about the Eighth Amendment? Nor shall excessive bail be required?
So in a case in which there's no evidence of violence,
the guy has no criminal record, He as an excellent
record as a police officer and corrections officer in that
county for twenty four years. He lives off his pension
and social security, and they're going to impose a bail

(02:04:40):
of two million dollars as if he were a billionaire. Yeah,
This just smacks of some sort of corruption, not necessarily
financial corruption, but political corruption. And you know, my libertarian
friends often say states rights, states rights, states rights, the
states can be tyrants too. Yes, this is an example

(02:05:02):
of it.

Speaker 1 (02:05:02):
Well, and I don't know a state constitution that doesn't
have a First Amendment in it. All of them do.
That's incorporated into it. And of course it applies the states,
it applies to governments. This is key First Amendment grounds. Here,
a government cannot deprive you of your freedom of speech.
Now a business can. Going back to your point about
people losing their jobs for posts about Charlie Kirk or
really anything else. You can have your own speech practices

(02:05:24):
in a private business that isn't funded by government or
working at the behest of government. Sorry, that's the corporate rules,
but not in the case of government or government entities.

Speaker 3 (02:05:33):
Correct. So you know there are some private entities like
Princeton University, almost any university exactly as an example. They
are bound by the Bill of Rights. They agreed to
be bound by the Bill of Rights when they accepted
the federal funds. So they can't discipline a student or
a professor because of what the student or the professor,

(02:05:54):
or an administrator, even a janitor said, but iHeartRadio News, Max,
Fox News, CNN. If they don't like something that one
of us says, what's happened to all of us, they
could take us off air for a week, or even
under certain circumstances, not pay us for a week. The
government is not involved. We get it. We get it.

(02:06:16):
The owner of a business can protect the business if
he believes that an employee is adversely impairing the business.
But the government cannot evaluate the content of speech and
say I don't like what he said about Charlie Kirk.
I don't like his use of Trump's language from one

(02:06:37):
tragedy to another. I'm going to lock him up. Man.
That is an indicator of authoritarianism and a rejection of
basic constitutional values. I didn't mention the sheriff's name. I
don't want to get involved with the guy. But Americans
need to be wary of small people who have the

(02:06:57):
power to.

Speaker 1 (02:06:59):
Impair your freedom. Amen, and we can leave it on
that note, Judge, Editor Paul Tamo brilliant. I can't thank
you enough for bringing this to my attention. I'm a Paul.
I thought I was reading an article about the UK
or Germany where they don't have a First Amendment, they
arrest people for what they say all the time. This
is the United States, this is Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (02:07:18):
For God's sake, and just to prove I'm a good guy,
go Bengals.

Speaker 1 (02:07:23):
Well, thank you for that. It's like prayer. We could
all use all we can get. Judge.

Speaker 3 (02:07:28):
Do they still have that Italian kid from New Jersey
that they just traded for?

Speaker 1 (02:07:32):
Yeah, yeah they did. It didn't work out so well
for mister Flacko and he needs some help. Is a
one man show, can't go tolone. It's a team. It's
a team effort, and sometimes there isn't the effort necessary.
Judge until as.

Speaker 3 (02:07:45):
Just self bunch and then the wife of Tom Brady said,
after the Giants beat the Patriots in the for the
second time in a row in the Super Bowl, my
husband cannot both throw the blanket and blank ball and
catch the blankety blank boll. You can fill in the
blankety blank.

Speaker 1 (02:08:03):
I figured that one out. Judging freedom. Who's on today,
Judge Ennita Polatano the Great.

Speaker 3 (02:08:08):
Scott Ridder at one o'clock this afternoon. How Ukraine is
on its last legs even with all the money the
Europeans and the Americans are spending there.

Speaker 1 (02:08:20):
Week after week after week, the story stays the same. Yes,
Judge Napolitana, Next Wednesday, will do this again. God bless you,
sir much, Love my friend. Eight forty four here fifty
five Krsity Talks Sea show me get a quick word
in here for Prestesion two. It is eight forty nine
here fifty five kr Seed Talk station. Feel free to
head on or give me a call five on three

(02:08:41):
seven fifty eight hundred eight two three talk or a
pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Thanks again.
Earlier to cribbage Mike, my submarine or sub mariner friend,
I looked it up. You can pronounce it either way.
This is what was sub mariner, because well I like
the Rolex submariner watch. But really, however you pronounce it,
you called it an earlier. He was part of Honor
flight yesterdays. He always is, and I just want to

(02:09:02):
personally think, as I did earlier, I'm going to do
it again. Everyone who showed up last night at CVG
lots of allergy outbreaks, corning to Mike, who actually had
one while he was giving me an update from the
Honor Flight. So it's just a beautiful organization. And as
he pointed out, a quarter of a million veterans have
been flown to Washington, d C. From the multiple Honor
Flight organizations that exist across this great land of ours.

(02:09:25):
An illustration, another illustration, I might point out why this
is a great land, so especially for those Vietnam veterans
who were deprived of welcome home when they returned from
their service to our country. And someone to call it.
Speaking of calling in, we just had a caller call in.
Wanted to be a reminder on where the next listener
lunch is. It's next Wednesday, and I hope to see
you there, and please, Dear God, can we celebrate, but

(02:09:48):
we have something to celebrate next Wednesday. Open voting going
on right now. We heard from uss Neville earlier reminding
you of the residents of the city of Cincinnati, you
do have a chance to change things. Could we celebrate that.
Maybe High Grain Brewery the Brentwood location. Don't go to
the other one. Go to Brentwood location of High Grain Brewery.

(02:10:08):
And that's where we're going to be for listener lunch.
I think we've been there before. Yes we have. So
the Brentwood Location Food Drink Fellowship is what it's all
about at listener lunch and again I just cannot wait
and hopefully we will be in a celebratory mood. So
I started out the program this morning on a tear
about the establishment clause because California Governor Gavin Newsom, mister

(02:10:31):
abortion on demand among everything else, now citing scripture because well,
the Democrats won't open up the federal government. Yeah, the
audacity of a Democrat to do this when you know
asked he should have consulted the ACLU before he started
citing scripture and support of government policy. First Amendment Establishment,
cause there is no establishment of religion. Our founding fathers

(02:10:53):
lived through that nonsense with the Church of England. We
are not a theocracy, and somebody always come out you
know we're we're a Christian nation. No, we are a
nation that's majority Christian. You know what who I love
as a politician, I love vivank Ramaswami. I hope to

(02:11:14):
God speaking of prayer, he's an ex governor of the
state of Ohio and the whey the stars are currently aligned,
he is going to walk away with it, don't count
on it will be talking a lot between now and
next year about that. One. He's Hindu. Do I care?

Speaker 3 (02:11:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:11:30):
You know why I don't care. One. The guy's brilliant too.
He's got awesome ideas for governing that have nothing to
do with religion. Three. Most fundamentally, he can't make me
become Hindu or become a Hindu worshiper or Hinduism follower
of Hinduism. He's not an ability to do that. He
can't make me. He the government does not have control

(02:11:51):
over your religious destiny. So that I pivot over to
Gavin Newsom's preaching the teachings of Matthew Isaiah Lucan Proverbs
to support his argument that the central of the core
and central to what it government does is to align
with God's will. Let me read the quote exactly. Feeding
the poor is quote core and central to what it

(02:12:12):
is to align with God's will. Yep, I'll give them
a NodD on that God's will as fulfilled by those
who are the Christian faith, not the government. Gavin, render
unto Caesar what Caesar's do, but don't shoulder. Don't force

(02:12:32):
Caesar to shoulder the responsibility of what you as a
Christian person are supposed to be doing. That's care and
feeding and helping those and attending to those that are
truly in need. That's the way it's supposed to work.
It's not a suggestion in the Old and New Testament.
These guys need to stop the BS and Washington. They're
sitting there in their prayer breakfast. Maybe they got an
edited version of President Donald Trump's Bible and they edit

(02:12:54):
out all of that, edited all of that out. Cruelty
is the policy. Huh, well, I suppose that's what happens
when you turn the keys over to Christian obligations and
hand it to the government. The government, not being Christian,
does not necessarily have to follow the proposition to the
tenets of Christianity, nor is it allowed to. I know

(02:13:18):
this situation is complicated and painful, but you know, from
the people who demonize religion on a regular basis and
call you an idiot for believing in a higher power,
what do you believe in the flying spaghetti monster as well?
Now going to use that to try to guilt you
into opening the governor back up because they insist on
supplements for Obamacare. Maybe if Obamacare had been designed better

(02:13:47):
the premiums wouldn't be saidam high. It's the insurer of
last resort for medicine. When you have all the people
join one insurance product and all of them have come
to the insurance product with pre existing conditions, you're going
to have an overwhelmingly expensive system to support and prop up.
That's exactly what Obamacare is. So maybe the right Christian

(02:14:07):
thing to do would be tear Obamacare down and come
up with something that actually works, that is affordable. Maybe
you need to think the rethink the way America provides
medical services. But in all cases, in all ways, I
would argue, keep the damn government out of it, or
it's going to end up being painful and problematic, complicated,

(02:14:27):
and an epic failure. A fifty five fifty five care
