Outstanding organization and blessed. I was to have been on

glorious occasion, an injection of patriotism in troubled time. So

(01:17):
you can all use that. So take your young people

school for hotterflight tri State. Let's say here, if I

and eighty two to three talk or pound five fifty
on AT and T fund Care to call? Coming up
on the fifty five Caose Morning Show FLP President Chapter

(01:37):
sixty nine Fraternal Order Police, Ken Cober be talking about
Governor Mike DeWine and have to have per of all
coming to some terms about safety and crime in the
city of Cincinnati. Get to that shortly. Ken Kober is
going to chime in on it. What does he think
got the big picture? With Jack Atherton? It's seven oh
five with Jack every Wednesday and interesting may be continuing

(02:00):
a theme how to save our cities followed by Donovan
and Neil Americans for Prosperity preventing government shutdowns? Will we
be able to prevent a government shutdown? Looks like Chuckie
Schumer's got it all cued up to have a government shutdown?
It will be the Democrats government shutdown. Whatever happened doing
twelve appropriation bills? Whatever happened to the annual thing you're
supposed to do every year? Something you know is on

(02:21):
your short list, It's part of your job description. Congress
people always kicking the can down the road always doing
continuing resolutions. So will we have a government shutdown? And
how will the media report? It? Will be Republican's fault,
Donald Trump's fault. Donovan O'Neil on that. At seven thirty
Congressman Thomas Massey. Love having Congressman Massey on the program

(02:45):
right in front of Judge editor Politano. We'll start with
congress from Massy. At eight oh five Epstein victim Press conference.
Plus this one has got me puzzled. Was Trump actually
an FBI informant when he was hanging out with Epstein?
Suggested Speaker Johnson the other day. It was kind of

(03:06):
a passing reference. I read the quote and I was like, okay,
so we'll dive into that. See what Massy's got on
that one. Plus, of course, Judge and an Apoloitano on
taking the Constitution seriously and a topic that at least
he has company in the form of rand Paul, And

(03:28):
he also has company in me in his analysis of
blowing up ships that may have had NARCO terrorists on it,
may have had drugs on it in international waters. I
as soon as that happened, and I know you know
about it. At least I hope you do it was
a Venezuelan ship. They Trump asserted it was narco terrorist

(03:48):
with a drug full or boat full of drugs, and
he just blew it up. And I said it out
loud in the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I was like, wait a.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Second, it's thousands of miles away from the United States,
it's in international waters. We have the authority to blow
up just random ships international waters because we unilaterally and
underscore without due process, conclude now it's a Narco terras
on that boat. You think there was maybe somebody on
that boat that wasn't an arco terrorist that might have

(04:19):
been able to raise their hand up and say, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait wait before you blow this boat up, can I
get off because I'm not in the right group of
people right now. That's what due process is all about.
And the Judge's going to talk about that, and it's
the subject matter of his column this morning. Ran Paul
yesterday on the Will Kine Show, also asserting, and I
believe him, it's not constitutional what the Trump administration did

(04:41):
blowing up that Venezuelan boat full of alleged drug traffickers.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
No due process.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Paul said, if this is a new policy, realize that
off of Miami. Dozens of ships will be interdicted today.
They will be stopped, boarded in search. Some of them
will have drugs, some of them will The reason we
bored them before we blow the crap out of them
is that some of them don't have drugs. Think about

(05:08):
it this way. This is how people don't quite get this.
Let's say there's a house in your neighborhood and they're
all selling fentanyl and thousands of people are dying, and
you're just so mad. Do you'll go over there and
just kill them or burn them? No, you got to
a judge, you get a warrant, you do that. We
have an interdiction program. Cain, in an effort to sort

(05:30):
of justify the blowing up of the boat. I feel
like the difference there is that you're talking about an
American citizen on American soil, and of course your analogy.
Paul interrupts, No, we're talking about ships off of Miami
and is hypothetical and what goes on every day. We're
talking about people speeding off along Miami. We're going to

(05:51):
just simply blow them up?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
No, we're not.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
I mean, if we were, that would be extraordinary, extraordinary,
to blow up ships, pointing out the outboard boat that
the Trump administration did blow up was twenty seven hundred
miles away. He said, how do we know we was
coming to the US, so they may be selling drugs

(06:18):
to Trinidad? Is it our job, Caine, Well, we are
the main destination point for whatever percentage of drugs coming
out of Central and South America. Paul, you don't think
anybody in the Caribbean is using drugs, but if they're
selling drugs in Trinidad, how are we going to be

(06:38):
the police for Trinidad? Are we going to blow up
every boat? It's just insane. You can't just blow up
any shit that you think might have drugs on it.
Gain responds, I appreciate your fidelity to limited government and
the Constitution. I think the differentiating factor here, I'm gonna
have to leave it here is they've been designated a

(07:00):
foreign terrorist organization and they're importing a chemical that's killing
tens of thousands of Americans. Paul said, but not by Congress,
not by Congress, by the president. That's not constitutional. Under
the Constitution, Congress must declare war. And isn't that the truth?
And over to the point that Kane was making, well,

(07:21):
they've been designated a foreign terrorist organization. They that will
be the cartel which they allege had members in the boat.
You don't know who the people were in the boat.
You're going to have to trust the administration, and seriously,

(07:42):
these trying times where we have very little faith in government,
thank you to the government continually lying to us repeatedly,
over and over again on a whole host of topics.
So yes, I'm Jada and Seneca. When it comes to
trusting government. You have to trust the government that they
have accurately identified these folks as members of the Trey
de Iragua gang on the boat and it has drugs

(08:03):
in it.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Do we know that?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Are they a subset of the larger designated terrorist organization
this gang?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's me not trusting the government what they tell us.
So that's the side Senator Paul's side, that's in essence
the subject matter judge of Paul's column. Taking the Constitution
seriously and honestly, I'm on their side on this one.
I don't want drugs coming to the United States of America.
I don't believe in gang activity. I think they're all

(08:41):
a bunch of terrorist criminals and probably deserve whatever faith
comes to them. But I'm a thereabout for the grace
of God, go I. I've seen too many people in
this country, American citizens, become victims of the abuse of
the criminal justice system. My friends out and the listening

(09:01):
audience who have concerned over how the January sixth protesters
were treated there, it's an example for you.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Was that fair?

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Now?

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Half the people out there in the audience say, yeah,
they deserve whatever they got. Yeah, But if you listen
to some of the stories about the due process violations
their treatment merely because they engage in what I've always
perceived to be and out of control, sort of just
out of nowhere, drunk and fraternity party gone ry, We're
going to take over the government. We're running through the

(09:31):
Capitol building. Big deal. And to the extent they engaged
in violence or hurt somebody, fine and get prosecuted for that.
But would anybody get prosecuted to the extent that they
got prosecuted.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
Hell no.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
This is the Biden administration getting its pound of flesh
and abusing the criminal justice system to make whatever point
they were going to make. And you could probably come
up with countless other examples and illustrations of how the
criminal justice system has been abused to harm them Americans
or used rather to harm Americans. So due process is

(10:05):
all about.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
So judgment.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Paul Tunnel on that at the end of the program
eight thirty five, one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two to three talk fifty on
AT and T phones. Yes, Governor Mike DeWine in a
partnership with AFTAB pro wall and some other local developments
as well in the area of crime. You get to
a couple of those five point fifteen right now, fifty

(10:30):
five kr CIT the talk station will be right back,
fifty five KRC the talk station our twenty twenty five
five nineteen fifty five kr CE de talk station. A
couple of calls online Keith hold on, cribbage Mike is
at Honor Fly tri State. Keith, I'll get your call
just a second here, cribbage Mike, my submarine or friend
you down there.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
It's a CDG for the Honor Flight.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Yes, I am Brian Thomas, and I can't thank you
enough for your support of this program.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
We're the opening ceremonies at about getting ready to start here,
and you said, if anybody would like a good shot
of patriotism, please be back there around eight thirty tonight
to greet these eighty eight veterans. We have eighty five
Vietnam vets, three Korean War vets, and most importantly, we
have two other submariners on this flight.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Ryan.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
They survived working in a cramped environment right next to
a nuclear reactor, just like you, Mike.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
Absolutely, and I know we're going to keep them real busy.
If we had any dead time, I'd go home and
get my cribbage board because I know I couldn't get.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Together a good game, no doubt.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
He one of the gentleman that's actually part of the
USS Cincinnati project. So I'm supporting my USS Cincinnati ballcap.
He saw that, so yeah, and that'll be next year
when that opens.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing that. That memorial is
going to be awesome. The design renderings of it is
just really cool. So a welcome addition to the greater
Cincinnati area and a salute to those folks who serve
their country like you, Mike on a submarine.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well wish And.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
This day is all about the eighty eight veterans, but
we cannot forget that it is the day before September eleventh.
And our second memorial that we go to is the
Air Force Memorial, and that's extremely poignant the location because
it is exactly the flight plan and the flight path
into the Pentagon, so we always point that out and
a remembrance for those souls that lost their live into Pentagon.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
And of course on.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
That flight I remember standing there like it was yesterday
on that very point, Mike. That the plane where you
stand there, you can see the Pentagon right below, and
that's exactly the flight the planes took when they went
or the plane took when it hit the Pentagon. So cool. Sure,
I'll tell you what, Mike. I wish you all the
best of luck, safe travels today, enjoy yourself, and we'll
try to encourage listeners. Get over to CVEG tonight for

(12:46):
the return ceremony. Get there about eight thirty. Just follow
the crowds. You will know exactly where to go when
you get there, and you were going to have one
hell of an inspirational evening. Mike, thank you for your
service to our country and enjoy yourself today. Keith, appreciate
you holding there. Welcome to the Caresey morning showing a
happy Wednesday.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
Hi, people in the United States don't know this right now,
but right now we are in the most dangerous situation
since the Cuba viscial crisis. And let me explain to
you why last night in Warsaw Poland, both Poland and
Italy evoked not Article five but Article four of the

(13:24):
NATO tree, which means right now we could potentially expect
an attack on any dayto country or the United States.
What happened was is, at last night Russian drones intentionally
entered Polish airspace into an attempt to attack Poland, and

(13:45):
the United States satellites were tracking these drones from Russia
intentionally heading towards Poland. United States, Italy and Poland scrambled
fighter jets and shot the drones down. And after this
earlier at the night, Polish officials and Italian officials that

(14:08):
dwarf saw Poland and immediately war saw Poland, that you
voked Article four of the DEATO treat Kid.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
You okay, well, I have not read that the Russians
were intending to hit targets in Poland. I have read
that the Russia flew the drones into Poland's airspace the
first time, but that they were on their way elsewhere.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
So I mean.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Poland, I suppose it has a right to protect its
own airspace from these intrusions. But was it an active
war against Poland? I have not read that they were
the target.

Speaker 7 (14:42):
Well, this has came out after that. Did we know
for sure it was intentionally heading towards Poland?

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Where did you?

Speaker 3 (14:50):
I got to ask you, Keith, what's your source on
that information?

Speaker 7 (14:53):
My source on this information is two sources, the Answer
radio network around the United States, also different radio stations
on the east coasts of the United States which reported
this late last night.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, I saw the reports of Poland shooting down Russian
drones violating its airspace. I have not read that Russia
intended to hit Poland or targets in Poland a NATO country.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
Well, what you need to do is read later and
read to fact that Poland has evoked Article four of
the DATO Treaty.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, Article four. As members are consulting, whatever the options
have they have, the territory political independent security of any
of them has threatened. Discussions that the North Atlantic Council
Natives principal political decision making body could potentially lead to
some form of joint decision or action. So it's invoking
Article four to have a discussion about the appropriate reaction
from NATO.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
I presume yes, that is because the United States satellites
found out later on after you got your information, that
the drones were not accidentally straight over there, they were
intentionally going into Poland.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Oh I listen, I have no doubt that the trajectory
of those drones was in Polish airspace. I mean, that's
where they were shot down. I don't think the Russians
inadvertently sent them into Polish airspace. I think it is
probably intentional question. What would they want? What did they
want to hit? What was the intended target of the drones?

Speaker 7 (16:24):
Different military bases in Poland?

Speaker 3 (16:27):
All right, well, I take your word on that, because
I have not read that anywhere. But it is only
twenty five minutes after five in the morning, and I've
only been up for a couple of hours, and I
know there's plenty for me to catch up on. So
I'll check out the developments on that. I will acknowledge
not a comfortable situation. Can they drag us into World

(16:48):
War three? Five fifty five k C the talk station, Instagram,
local stories. Plenty of those phone calls are always welcome.
You get any more information about what he was talking
aboute free to volunteer it along with the source of
the information. I'll be right back after these brief words.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Fifty five KRC Norse Nation season tickets for the end.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Shy five twenty nine on a Wednesday listener lunch Wednesday,
and it's to pub and grill.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Hope you can make it.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Feel free to call the program five on three seven
four nine fifty eight hundred eighty two to three talk
time five fifty on your AT and T phone. According
to my call screen, I look up, it's pasty white guy, Tom, Tom,
Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show, described
as pasty white guy.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Welcome to the club?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Are you? Are you?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Are you loving?

Speaker 8 (17:36):
Is Joe Strecker loving me in with a lot of
pasty white guys?

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I can't really, I guess.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Hey, hey, just like you, I've been.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Called much worse, a lot worse. Like I said yesterday,
I've called myself a lot worse.

Speaker 8 (17:53):
Yeah, not yet today, because I haven't really talked to anybody,
well except Joe, so I guess you know, my first insult.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Of the day, the first of maybe.

Speaker 8 (18:06):
Yeah, the the thing Keith called about real I'll just
touch on that real quick.

Speaker 9 (18:11):
And the thing that came to mind or for.

Speaker 8 (18:14):
Those of us who uh who who read the Bible,
wars and rumors of wars, so sign of the time,
something like that.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
So it is kind of chilling.

Speaker 8 (18:24):
It is a little concerning.

Speaker 10 (18:26):
So but well, we'll see how it goes.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Another thing.

Speaker 8 (18:29):
You gotta keep the popcorn out and see what's going on.
But yeah, it isn't It isn't something that we could
just gotta have.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
No big deal.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
That's a big deal. It is a big deal, be
very serious. But Poland.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Poland's right next to Ukraine. And I'm looking at the
map right now of the country of Poland and Ukraine
remaining in Hungary and Belarus and all the countries surrounding it.
I'm just wondering what the trajectory of these drones was.
Were they using Poland's airspace as a mechanism to get
to Ukraine obviously perhaps a violation of international law. Poland
has control of its airspace. I just wondered where these missiles,

(19:03):
where these drones were headed I mean, if they in
fact were headed to some target in Poland, that is
an active war Russia has engaged in against a NATO country,
which would kick in our mutual defense agreement. Were ended
up in World War Three, like Keith was suggesting, now,
if they were just using Poland's airspace to get into
some target in Ukraine, maybe a horse of a different color,

(19:24):
that is clearly something different than literally attacking a NATO country,
which is World War three. So that's why I want
to let the dust settle on this for a drawing conclusions.
Were they wrong in going into Poland's airspace? Absolutely active aggression?
Of course? What was the intended target? And drones the
world's an imperfect place, right Tom Screws fallout, things happened.

(19:47):
What if a drone just malfunctioned and landed on some
civilian target or someplace in Poland en route to Ukraine
where they wanted to deliver the bomb, that would be
a real problem too.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
So yeah, this is bad, all right, agreed, it is bad.

Speaker 8 (20:04):
The thing that really got my attention this morning switching
gears here another another stupid comment by a Democrat, and that,
of course that's pretty much what an hourly thing. If
they open their mouth and speak that, the chances of
getting a stupid comment out of them is pretty much
one hundred percent. But this, uh, this idiotic representative out

(20:26):
of Texas with Jasmine Crockett. The point of law enforcement
is not to prevent crime. It's only to solve crime.
So so basically we're just gonna tell the cops don't
don't try to stop maybing, just go clean it up
after it happens. What kind of dumb, idiot statement is that?

Speaker 4 (20:47):
I don't get it.

Speaker 8 (20:49):
Then, and then you read another story on the same
page of of how.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Of how a Democrat won a uh.

Speaker 11 (20:56):
Won an election for for a represent How.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
How is this even possible?

Speaker 4 (21:01):
These these people.

Speaker 12 (21:02):
That vote Democrat.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (21:04):
I don't know what you're thinking. I really don't don't
have enough evidence. There's just here's another one. You know,
you got so many who's like, oh no, no, we
don't want you to prevent crime. We don't want you
to try to stop something bad from happening to other citizens.
Oh well no, why would we want that?

Speaker 13 (21:23):
That is like moronic.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Don't vote Democrat.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom, and maybe the
decline in Americans K through twelve public education, which is
getting precipitously worse according to the nation's report card, the
National Assessment of Education Progress, showing that our young people
can't read and they can't perform mathematics on a basic level.

(21:49):
Maybe there's your problem, Tom, People are stupid. Stupidity breeds dependence.
You can't take care of yourself. You're gonna go out
into the wilderness and look for someone to take care
of you. Welcome to dependents on the federal government and

(22:09):
some federal program. Why because you didn't study, I guess. Sorry,
knee jerk reaction. Go to Mike to Wine got a
partnership with the city of Cincinnati. They were there together.
Mike to Wine have to have purvol I told my
wife last night I was watching Have to Have Purvole
on television. His hair reminded me of the beginning of
the original Hawaii five zero when you see the wave,

(22:33):
the pipeline wave. That's what his hair looks like anyway, Sorry,
cheap shot. It is very perfectly quaffed. Though Southern High
a Fugitive Apprehension Strike Force team. According to Wine, they're
gonna be focusing on people who currently are wanted for
violent crime and those who have served time who are
violating their parole. So Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehensive Strike Apprehension,

(22:55):
Strike Force Team. It's like Sealed Team six, I guess,
he said. Every city in the state has relatively small
number of violent crimes who cause eighty to ninety percent
of the violence criminals. Rather, these are the individuals that
we're going after, and these are the individuals we need
to get off the street. Pause and think about that,
just for a moment. We need to get them off

(23:18):
the street later, he said, quote meaning this, these efforts,
these multitask force efforts, the assistance that he's offering the
city of Cincinnati, which Parval has said he would accept.
Mike Dwaine, this has worked in multiple cities in Ohio. Look,
it's no magic wand we don't get rid of all

(23:39):
the problems, but we can target some of those repeat
violent offenders and we can get rid of them. It's
just a win win for everybody. Close quote all right,
well exactly, Joe, Joe knew exactly where I was going
until the judges let him out.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
How long can you get rid of someone? Think about it.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Person's out on the street, commits a crime, punches someone,
just use a random crime. How much jail time can
you get for punching someone, even if you have a
very strict justice judge who's willing to put that person
behind bars to the fullest extent of the law allowed
by the sentence in guidelines, Let's say that person goes
to jail for two years, they serve their time, they're out.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
You don't get rid of them.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
These are recid of his criminals, which will probably go
back and commit more crimes. It's the rap seats. They're
miles long, they are multiple pages. We read about it
all the time. He's right, A small percentage of the
population are responsible for the vast majority of crimes. And
they many of them, and many of them, I should say,
are rescid of his criminals. They're the ones you see
all the time. Cops know them by name. Oh there's John.

(24:53):
He we're going to have to pick him up again
going through the justice system. And again, even if you
meet out the biggest punishment of all time, you're still
going to see him back on the street again. Why
because they probably didn't get us to go to school.
They probably didn't end to get an education. They may
have significant psychological problems. Whatever happened to the facilities, we
used to lock people up in involuntarily or involuntary commitment

(25:16):
because they were incapable of minding society's rules.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
We don't have those anymore.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
You probably thank Ken Keyesy and one flew over the
Cuckoo's Nest for shutting down those institutions and go back
to the Kennedy administration for that five point thirty seven

(27:21):
People get procedures all the time, whether reduce sprinkles, look
on your or change facial features they're unhappy with. The
point is to make people feel better about their own skin.
So you may want to consider the scrow text procedure,
which involves injecting botox into the scrotum.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Senior doctor at Harley Street Skin Clinic Goutni Mike T,
said that around eighty percent of patients are seeking an
esthetic result rather than addressing a purely medical concern. Scrotum aesthetics.
According to doctor T, patients usually get it done for
one of three reasons. One to reduce wrinkles or increases

(28:06):
in the scrotal skin. Is that an issue for folks.
Two to treat hyper hydrosis, which is described as sweating
of the skin which can be discomforting. And finally temporarily
increasing scrotal size or sag. What you pay money for this?

(28:32):
This is actually a thing. Fred, Welcome to the morning.
Save me from myself.

Speaker 10 (28:40):
Fred, Happy Wednesday, Happy Wednesday, and good morning to you.
I was just listening to you, you and your callers
about crying. I'm in Westwood and I understand that I
believe there would be more police.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Listen to me to.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
Say something from McHenry and Harrison. You have about eight
nine guys controlled that corner at the gas station, and
you got them maybe a half mile later. Then you
got McHenry and Cavanalls. You got another eight or nine
guys controlling that little street, and you got another half mile.
I think it's no on McHenry and that within that

(29:18):
less than a mile you got almost ten to fifty
twenty people controlling that whole street and corners. They start
working at ten o'clock in the morning and then they
leave about ten eleven o'clock at night. So if someone
chooses to go by there, ride through there and look,
you will see these same people there every day. You

(29:39):
got these cars being broke in about two weeks ago
in Westwood. Everything goes together. You break in the car
to's steal some change to take to these guys to
buy the drug. If you get rid of the guys
on the corner and called ten, fifteen, twenty times about them,
they they'll never come out. So it's hard for a
resident to uh see something being done when they're calling

(30:03):
the police. Crime is being committed and committed in front
of their house and the police is not responding.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
That's the problem.

Speaker 10 (30:14):
It's it's it's a big problem. And it's not like
they're behind buildings, they're red out front. Yeah, it's it's unbelievable.
If anybody want to drive through there through today and
look at it to see if they're not gonna run
they're gonna sit there. I come up with your car
and ask you what do you want?

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Wow?

Speaker 10 (30:31):
Anyway, anyway, I said, I just want to call the
deity to you.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
Will let you know that.

Speaker 10 (30:35):
Listen, listen, we believe in the police. We want more police.
We want to be uh take it just like everybody else.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yeah, and you know, Fred, to your point, there they are.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
I have no reason to doubt anything you're saying to
me this morning. Fred, there the guys are right there.
A cop comes over me and he break them up.
Get it, shoe him away, get him out of the neighborhood.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Thing.

Speaker 10 (31:00):
My whole thing once again is that if you go
there between ten o'clock, maybe eleven o'clock at night to
maybe six seven o'clock in the morning, there's nothing going on.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
But now there's no cars on the streets. There's nobody there.
All of a sudden.

Speaker 10 (31:15):
Now you come like to the clock at nine o'clock,
two o'clock in the morning, you got the car. The
street is full of cars. These guys are on the
corner all day. They don't live there. I understand that
the trespassing, that's a whole other thing. But they said
trespassing is actually not a law, not a it's illegal.

(31:35):
But anyway, that's a whole stoping different, different, But they
are truspassing on my street. They're not coming to visit
no one. They're come to see no one. They're not walking, yeah, trust.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
It's more like loitering. I mean if they're in a
public space. If they're on a sidewalk for example, that's
considered a public space. You're not trespassing if you're walking
on a sidewalk, But maybe loitering or I don't know. See,
this is where you and get. You get into a
difficult conversation, Fred, because we have the right to freedom
of assembly, and I can see one of those punks saying, hey,

(32:07):
we're just assembling, we're talking politics right here. This is
where we go. So it's complicated, Fred, I hear you
out loud.

Speaker 10 (32:15):
Okay, but let me say this now, you'd look at
the statistics on McCarry and Kavanaugh. Within the last ten years.
I no, nine people have been shot and killed.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Geez.

Speaker 10 (32:28):
I'm probably witnessed maybe six of them.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Geeze.

Speaker 10 (32:32):
So so don't you can't tell me that it's not
a high crime place.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
I'm not saying that at all.

Speaker 10 (32:39):
No, no, I'm not saying no, no, I'm not saying you,
but it's a high crime.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
It's sure as hell sounds like it's me. I mean, honestly, Fred,
I do not witness that kind of thing generally speaking,
anywhere I go. So to be living in a neighborhood
where you have the ongoing criminal activity and gangs of
young people, I presume young people. Maybe they're in their twenties,
I don't know, but obviously presenting a threat to the neighborhood,
maybe engaging in crime. Maybe they're responsible for the break in.

(33:04):
You know, it demands something, right, you know, you're screaming
out through the world, Please, dear God, do something. And
the only thing I can think of is your point.
More police out in the area, patrolling, rolling around, driving
in cop cars, presenting themselves and showing themselves to these
these gangs hanging out in the corner. It might be
a deterrent. It'll be better than nothing, right, Fred.

Speaker 10 (33:27):
Yes, definitely, And once again I see the police on
Harrison and Work Road more than I see my part
of the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, you've brought the crime.

Speaker 10 (33:36):
It's not a lot of punch over there, it's crime.
On my side of the anyway.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Thank you again.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
I appreciates you.

Speaker 3 (33:43):

and at least get Mark in. Thanks for holding Mark,
Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
Good morning. I just have a have a comment about
ICE and how they interact with CINCINNTI after Pure Vault
touts that, uh, you know since NATA Sanctuary City, but
he's certinitely in half truce. So when they when he

(35:35):
says he doesn't interact with ICE, that may be true. However,
I used to work for ICE a two years ago,
and uh, what happens is Denny doesn't have any jails.
As soon as a person of interest hits a jail.
The people the Alton County sheriffs have an excellent relationship

(35:58):
with ICE and that that's when the information and the
transfer of people happen. So when Cincinnati says that they're
a sanctuary city, that may be true, but that has
minimal impact on how ICE operates in and around Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Fair enough, and that makes sense to me.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yeah, you declare yourself a sanctuary city, maybe you instruct
your police department, do not coordinate your efforts or assist
the federal government in its efforts to enforce immigration law.
You take a hands off of pros. The federal government
is still enforcing immigration law with ISOL agents going around
and collecting up illegal immigrants. If they're in jail because
they committed a crime, they're supposed to have a hold
on them, and that's when you go over to the

(36:47):
jail and pick them up before the release from jail.
That's a cooperative working relationship. So the federals doing their jobs,
local law enforcement doing its job enforcing state law and
local laws. They can work and cohabitate quite nicely together.
And I suppose that's the why it's supposed to work.
But standing in the way of and preventing the ICE

(37:14):
agents from doing their job, that's a horse of a
different color. I don't know that that's actually gone on
here in the city of Cincinnati. I have not read
anything about that. Appreciate the call, Pete. I am out
of time in the segment. You can hold over the break.
I'll be happy to take your call out for the
Top of the Air News.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
I will be right back. Today's tough headlines coming up

Dwine Nafta provol's crime meeting the partnership that was announced yesterday,
is that going to bar any fruit? Big picture with
Jack advid In one hour from now, how to save

(38:22):
together with Jack advid In at seven oh five. Americans
for Prosperities. Donovan O'Neil back on the show at seven
point thirty, As is tradition preventing government shutdowns. That's AFP's
Donovan O'Neil's topic this morning. Congressman Thomas Massey eight oh five,
you can be talking about the Epstein victims press conference,
and Speaker Johnson suggested the other day that Trump was

(38:43):
in an FBI informant while hanging out with Epstein. Kind
of took everybody surprise. It was a passing comment. I
was puzzled over when I read it. We'll see what
Congressman Messi has to say about that. Followed by, of course,
Judge Eddinapolitano on taking the Constitution seriously. He and I
and Ran Paul all of agreement that blowing people up
in the middle of the international waters without due process

(39:05):
is not a lawful act anyway.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
It's over the phones.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Who what Pete's got Pete, thanks for holding Welcome to
the Morning, showing a happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 13 (39:13):
Thanks Brian Hey fred over on the West Side talking
about those guys need arrested, but if judges keep turning
them back loose, it's gotta be frustrating for the police.
But my suggestion is they need to put the judges' names.
When somebody commits a violent crime, like the people down.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
There in.

Speaker 13 (39:33):
What is it Charlotte, Charlotteville, Charlottete.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Got murdered North Carolina on the train.

Speaker 13 (39:40):
Yeah, they need to take that judge to turn him loose,
or even the whole I guess he had like fourteen priors.
They need to list the judges' names so that people
can know who's who's doing this, and then maybe they'll
think twice about turning all these clowns loose.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
Well, I think Joe's talking to my head when you
said that, Pete, the judges are listed. We know who
the judges aren't Hamilton County who are light on bail
and soft on crime like Judge Silverstone.

Speaker 13 (40:10):
I mean is when they report a crime right after
the crimes are, you know, committed, they need to list
a judge with the news report say, hey, this guy
just killed this girl, and this is the judge that
released him the last time for whatever it was, and
what the sentence was. To find out if the judges

(40:30):
are given, you know, real sentences or just slaps on
the risk, well, I think the responsibility goes back to them.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Well, and the responsibility then goes to the voter to
pay attention to that kind of stuff. And I'm like,
but see, het, we've stumbled upon the big failure in
the system. People don't pay attention. That's the problem. It's
it's the fundamental flaw that we've got as American citizens.
We're not we're not typically weed dwellers in politics, and
we sure as hell are not following the day in

(41:00):
and day out antics what's going on over in the
in the Hamilton County courts or any other court for
that matter.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
That's why people in a bone for judges like that.

Speaker 13 (41:09):
I bet nobody knows what judge let that guy out
down there.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Bet we do.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
But we do have that if you're repete, if you're
interested in it's it's you can find it if you're
looking for it. The problem is it requires effort, but
you can find it. People don't even bother reading what's
in the newspaper.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Pete.

Speaker 3 (41:29):
That's my problem. I'm telling you the broader issue. No,
this information is available. You can find out what judge did,
what I mean, Signal ninety nine on Facebook posts it
all the time, crime information, where people are killed, what
happened when you got arrested, What judges issue, what sentences,
what zero bonds have been issued. It's out there. We
just we choose not to look at that. I mean,

(41:51):
you get up in the morning, what are you gonna do.
You're gonna have your cup of coffe, You're gonna get
your mindset for work. You're gonna get ready for work.
You go on into work, you commit your work time.
When do you have time to look at the judicial records?
They haven't county clerk or courts. When you get home
after work, you got dinner to prepare, Maybe your kids
have select Sokka, you're running off.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
To on and on and on.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
We can't get people to watch thirty minutes worth a
national news and get some two minutes SoundBite on some
big fundamental story, let alone to actually take time to
engage in the process of looking into the criminal court
docket and what happens every day. There are hundreds of
crimes that are processed through the justice system on a

(42:29):
weekly basis, hundreds. Most of them don't end up on
our radar because most of them aren't the heinous acts
that we see from time to time to get national
coverage like the beat down. Why did you get national coverage?
Because it was so unbelievable. That's the kind of thing
that people will pay attention to. And then you're like, well,

(42:49):
wait a minute, this is the criminal justice system is
fundamentally corrupt. It's wrong. These judges aren't doing blah blah blah.
But going back to the point I made earlier, Mike
dwined with they have to have purvol yesterday, what does
he say we need to go after these innovatives. We
need to get them off the street, okay, pointing out
how this program that he's worked on with they have

(43:11):
to have pro ball. This has worked in multiple cities
in Ohio. Governor Dewaine said, Look, it's no magic wine.
We don't get rid of all the problems, but we
can target some of those repeat violent offenders, the ones
I think you're referring to, Pete, and we can get
rid of them.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
How I said that last out, how.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
We do have You know, the Constitution does not allow
for cruel and unusual punishment. So if some guy it's
his fifteenth crime in the particular crime that it's the
number fifteen, we used to have three strikes laws. You
want to bring those back, then you don't have this problem.
You're gonna have to build a lot more jail space.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
Though.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
But if the time that this person commits crime number
fifteen in this long rap sheet that this person has
been developing over the years, it's say minor by comparison,
I mean, you have limits to the amount you can
do by way of sentencing. So that was my point
last hour. Even if you have the strictest you know,
hangman kind of judge, you know, the old school judge.

(44:21):
I have no sympathy for criminals. You're going to get
the fullest extent of the law. I'm throwing the book
at You throw the book at someone for a crime
that doesn't carry with it a long sentence. Whatever sentence
the person gets, that's crime fifteen added to the record,
they're going to be back out on the streets under
probation probably, But we know how well that works. Only

(44:46):
to perhaps commit another crime. We have a recipimus. We
have a problem here. Who can't be a person who
can't deal with society, doesn't play along with society's rules.
That's the kind of person to Whine was talking about.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
The other day.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
It's a small slice of the population that actually engages
in criminal activity. Sadly, that small slice does it over
and over and over and over again. You're the judge,
what are you gonna do? Sitting in front of me,
I'd probably be the hard on crime judge, the judge

(45:19):
that says, what's the sentence in guideline? Say, well, ten
months to twenty five months. Give them twenty five months.
Guess what they're gonna be back out on the street
in two years, committing more crimes. And then you're back
in it again and you can rage against the machine.
Oh my god, this person's been involved with law enforcement

(45:40):
for fifteen times and now he's back in front of
a judge having committed I don't know, murder or something.
Was that person appropriately processed through the criminal justice system?
Did the person get due process? Was he or she
convicted beyond a reasonable that all those prior times, and
we're appropriate sentences meeting out in every other case where

(46:01):
that person was in front of a.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Judge, go ahead, look at the record.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
It may be that they got tough sentences, It may
be that they had high bonds when they were originally arrested.
But there they are again, right in front of a
judge and we have to deal with them. Does anybody
have an answer or a solution to this reality that
we're facing? And you look at that poor Ukrainian woman
that got slashed in the neck. That guy had been

(46:26):
in front of the criminal justice system. How many times
served hard time in a real big boy jail prior
to murdering her. Had that person been given a high
bond previously, would that have stopped him from murdering her
in this particular circumstance. Six fifteen fifty five K Steve Talkstation.

(46:53):
A lot of issues, a lot of problems, very very complicated.
Patrick and Jay are on the line. Both of you, guys.
I'm happy to take your calls and take quick break
here and remind everyone that you know you This is
the concept of coming up with lately, be your brother's keeper.

can rely on the folks at twenty two three straight answers.
That's what you get. Solid people. Wendy and Jeffy owners.
They are the best around. You're gonna love well, and

Talkstation Ken cober fappres. That will come up next. In
the meantime, we're gonna go to the phones order which
they receive. Jay hold On, Patrick, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Hey, good morning, Brian.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Hey.

Speaker 11 (48:38):
I had an idea, prouh pigtailing off the last caller
to get more national coverage. We need to just address
these criminals, these hardcore criminals up as some run balls
and send them to the fillies game.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Have a good day.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
I appreciate that. Patrick, you too, Jay, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
I think Wednesday, Jay, Thank good morning, Brian.

Speaker 13 (49:03):
Hey.

Speaker 16 (49:03):
I'm reading just a quick couple of sentences from the
Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund. It says over the past decade,
billionaire George Soros suspend at least fifty million to elect
scores and social justice prosecutors across the country. These district attorneys,
who represent over seventy million people, or more than one
in five Americans, who often pursue pro criminal and anti

(49:26):
police policies.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Yep.

Speaker 16 (49:28):
And they go on with the list. So this is
not just happenstance. This has been orchestrated. And I think
the founders, the Founders, who I love and respect, they
would probably be the first ones to say, hey, look, folks,
we didn't get everything right.

Speaker 10 (49:44):
And I think this idea of the.

Speaker 16 (49:46):
Supreme Court being unelected, and because they're the great unwashed
and they're objective and holier than now, they can't possibly
have a political bone in their body. That's a lifetime
appointment because that's a good idea, as we saw over
the years, and you've done a great job pointing out
the prime gift. Court gets it wrong very often and

(50:10):
some of the greatest degradation of our freedom as Americans
has happened at the hands of the Supreme Court. I
think it was Marberry versus Madison.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Did I get that right? Going way back? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (50:21):
Yeah, where the farmer growing his own wheat?

Speaker 3 (50:24):
No no, no, no, no, you think kind of wickered versus Philburn. Oh,
that's what Commerce Clause case, which is probably, in my estimation,
one of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever handed down
because it immediately gave the federal government control over virtually
everything in our lives.

Speaker 16 (50:40):
Yeah, and before that, they not because it's in the Constitution,
but because there was a political deal. They took judicial
review as their ownership that is not in the Constitution,
that the Supreme Court gets to arbitrate and decide what
is constitutional on what isn't. That was a shake deal,

(51:01):
according to Mark Levin, and his book talked about how
that came to be. But you won't find that in
the constitution. You won't find district courts that are going
after the president of the United States. They're not even
in the Constitution. They don't they didn't exist. I think
that it's way past time to overhaul this whole idea
that judges aren't elected. If we've got people with this

(51:22):
kind of power and authority that are taking this much
freedom away, then I think there's a strong case to
say this is not a government of the people, for
the people, by the people.

Speaker 9 (51:32):
It's too easy to.

Speaker 16 (51:33):
Get tyrants in power like Sodomayor, who's not all that smart, Katanji,
Jackson Brown, and Kagan and I can go on and
on and on, and there's not a damn thing we
can do about it. But other than let them try
to degrade.

Speaker 9 (51:49):
Our power on our freedom.

Speaker 16 (51:51):
And I think that's where we're at with these judges,
these these social justice Soros back communists, back judges. And
so if we can't as a country and our leadership
can't take a look at this and say, okay, we
need to come together and redesign this, well, then you know,
we just keep sliding left.

Speaker 17 (52:12):
As we have been.

Speaker 16 (52:13):
Well, and do whatever you do, don't vote democrat. I'll
listen to your response, well offline, right, Thanks.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Sure, thanks, Jay, And I hear what you're saying. But
I think it goes back to the point I made earlier.
Well to the caller, it's it's incoming upon us to
do the right thing.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
But when we.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Vote, I mean when I hear George Soros spent and
this is not a criticism of you, Jay, but I
hear it all the time. George Soro spent fifty million
dollars or one hundred million dollars, and you put it
behind all these leftist judges or all these leftist prosecutors. Yeah,
trying to win the hearts and minds of people. It's advertising,
it's money that supports candidates. It doesn't force you to

(52:53):
vote for them. Just because George Soros through a hundred
million dollars it's something, doesn't mean you have to vote
for to buy into it or thing that's the right idea.
How is it that we're convinced that voting for these
left wing nut jobs is good for us? That's on
us man. And if you've seen the polls of late,
the nation is moving further and further toward and in

(53:13):
favor of socialism. Democrats are actually running as out loud socialists.
They're proud of it. The concept is making inroads. And
I'll go back to my comment about maybe it's the
education system. We are so blank and dumb that they're
able to convince so many people in the United States
of America that this is the direction we should go

(53:35):
in spite of the fact that it has been an
epic failure everywhere it has been tried.

traditionally imported Asian, European or Tesla. Get that car into
foreign exchange, have that car fixed, full warranty on parts
and service, and less money, and substantially less money in
many cases. I am a prime example of that. I've
saved thousands of dollars over the years taking the cars
to foreign exchange. We have imported cars and that's where
they go. So my wife's car, my car, my daughter's car,

(54:33):
my son's car, all of them Foreign exchange. Better way
to go because we do save a lot of money

It's six point thirty fifty five KRS the talk station.
Very happy Wednesday to you and welcome back to the
fifty five KRC Morning Show. We got crime going on
the city of Cincinnati, somebody knows all about that and
the Sinni Police Department. The president of the Fraternal Order
Police Chapter sixty nine representing the CINCINNTI Police Department, Ken Kober,
Good to have you back on the fifty five KRC
Morning Showy, good morning, Brian, thanks for having me. I

(56:32):
guess you were probably very interested in the Dwine pur
of All meeting yesterday regarding violent crime. What's your takeaway
on it? I keep going back to Dwine's point, we
need to get these people off the street, get them
off the street. He said, we need to lock them,
We need to get rid of them. I mean, it's
all well and good, you can say that, but practically speaking,
that's not going to happen. I mean, recidive his criminals

(56:54):
are recid of his criminals. You can only put them
behind bars. For so long unless they actually murder someone
and maybe they might get a life sentence, the majority
of cases, they're going to come back out on the
street and apparently they're going to recommit crimes, and we
got this vicious cycle going on. I mean, we can't
really get rid of them. So anyhow, I can't leave
that point. Ken Kober, what was your reaction to what

(57:15):
was announced yesterday and how do you think it's going
to help or do you think it was missing some elements?

Speaker 1 (57:20):
What more do we need? Let's talk.

Speaker 19 (57:23):
No, I think it's going to be helpful.

Speaker 20 (57:26):
What's truly going to be helpful is if the federal
prosecutor starts prosecuting these people federally guidelines sentencing guidelines are
a lot more strict.

Speaker 12 (57:39):
Criminals on the streets fear.

Speaker 20 (57:42):
The federal court system because they know they're going to
get locked up for a long time and they're likely
going to be sentenced and locked away far, far far
from their home, which will be something that'll be very
very beneficial.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
Agree on all that question.

Speaker 3 (57:59):
Are are there federal crimes that mirror the state crimes
across the board, or are we left with the Hamilton
County judges and judicial system to deal with the state
crimes exclusively. I guess the problem is bringing the feds in.
There has to be a parallel federal charge.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Yeah, what's just.

Speaker 20 (58:16):
About every gun charge is going to be a federal crime.
Just about every drug trafficking charge is similar in what
they're looking at is focusing on those recidivous, those that
are already convicted felons that have been convicted of violent felonies,
that have recommitted crimes, and take them federally on these

(58:36):
gun charges that you know, a lot of them carry
minimum sentences of.

Speaker 19 (58:41):
Ten plus years.

Speaker 20 (58:42):
Get them in the federal system and get them out
of Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
Sounds like a great idea. Has that sort of topic
been broached? Do we know if the local federal prosecutors
are willing to step up and take on that extra
role and take on the additional work Ken.

Speaker 20 (58:57):
Yeah, And it's always been, you know, a topic of discussion.
You know, we used to have a thing in this
sinceat police departments called Project Disarm where they would take
cases federally for the most violent of a recidivist. But
having a new Southern Ohio district prosecutor who is ripborn
and ready to go. I think it's going to make

(59:19):
an immediate impact when we have, you know, some of
these recidivists, to take them federal, get them out of
the county system where you.

Speaker 19 (59:26):
Know, we know that judges may or may not.

Speaker 20 (59:30):
Actually lock people up and keep them locked up, So
if they put them in the federal system, it's a
lot better likelihood that they're going to stay locked up
and be.

Speaker 19 (59:39):
Gone for a long time.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
I concur with your conclusion on that. I think you're
very accurate on that, So I think it's an outstanding
a suggestion, truly. I mean, I have a problem with
federalizing crime across the board because that gives far more
power to the federal government. That's just me being, you know,
a believer in state power and the limitations of the
federal government. But it is a solution to soft on

(01:00:02):
crime judges here locally, because yeah, the federal prosecutors they
do have the sentence in guidelines and if you got
a gun charge, that guy's going to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Pause.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
We'll bring Kenkber back and find out if this Southern
Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strikeforce team, which to wind offered up,
is going to be able to help get some of
these bad guys we're looking for off the streets. And
isn't that in and of itself and acknowledgment that we
need more police officers downtown to do that job. Six
point thirty five more With Kenkber coming up, don't go away.
And I want to mention doctor Fred Peck, my dentist.

(01:00:32):
I love doctor Fred Peck. Great guy and a genius,
and I can say that unqualified. No, I don't know
what his test scores are, but if you see the
amazing work that he can do by the way of
cosmetic dentistry, you'll give him a nod. YEP, that's genius
right there. Transformative, life changing dental work from the cosmetic
dentist that is doctor Fred Peck. One of only three

(01:00:53):
fellows at the American Economy of Cosmetic Dentistry that even
are in the state of the entire state star they're
in the state. He's one of three that'll achieved the
fellowship status. That's because he is mind blowing when it
comes to cosmetic dentistry. So to see the before and
after pictures he's done, be blown away as well, and
have him take care of that smile that you're not
happy with but in terms of general dentistry, the best

(01:01:14):
out there always the state of the art clinic, got
the best possible people working for him. Customer service fantastic
and if you don't like going to the dentist, I'd
say you're gonna like going doctor Fred Peck online Peck

Sixty six fifty five KRC.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Six thirty eight fifty five KERR CD talk station Brian
Thomas along with FOP President Ken Kober talking about crime
in the city. Governor Mike Dewinan announcing a partnership yesterday
with AFTAB pro Ball and one of the elements of
that is Dwine's offering the Southern High Fugitive Apprehension Strikeforce Team,
which we'll be focusing on people who are currently wanted
for violent crime and then those who served time but

(01:02:02):
are on prole but have violated the terms of the parle.
These are bad guys out on the street we need
to find and pick up. Ken, Isn't that sort of.
I read into that that we need more police officers
because the police department of the City of Cincinnati, one
of your duties is to find these bad guys if
they're roman around the city of Cincinnati. If you have
more police officers, they be able to take on that

(01:02:23):
responsibility and find these folks. Is that really the key
to the problem. There more police officers? And if so,
is there enough money being allocated toward police in this
most recent five point four million spending measure they're supposed
to approve today, because I saw that a lot of
the money was just going to go for current police
officer over time. Now there is an allocation of money

(01:02:45):
for I think advertising to get police lateral hires and
hire them away. But advertising is one thing. Actually getting
police on the street in uniform that's a bigger challenge.

Speaker 6 (01:02:54):
Ken, Sure, you're absolutely right.

Speaker 20 (01:02:57):
I mean, the bottom line is we've got to hire
more police. I was just talking to the chief yesterday
about this, and in August alone, just August one month,
officers worked over twenty three thousand hours of overtime.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Oh my god, not including.

Speaker 20 (01:03:16):
Yeah, the one month, and that's been pretty consistent over
the year. Now, part of that is your private overtime,
whether they're working a construction detail or working for a
bar or working for the reds FC, whatever. But twenty
three thousand hours, and that's not including officers.

Speaker 19 (01:03:33):
Going to court, it's not.

Speaker 12 (01:03:34):
Including a late radio run an investigation.

Speaker 20 (01:03:39):
So it's probably closer to about thirty thousand hours. And
that's that's every month that these officers are doing this.

Speaker 12 (01:03:45):
And they're doing it because they're committed.

Speaker 19 (01:03:48):
To keeping the city safe.

Speaker 20 (01:03:49):
But I'll tell you, the burnout is real, and you know,
they can throw more overtime at it, which I appreciate
the fact that the council wants to do that, but
there's gonna be a breaking.

Speaker 12 (01:03:59):
Point, right and these officers are getting there.

Speaker 20 (01:04:01):
It's been a long year, it's been a violent summer,
and officers are getting tired of consistently putting in sixty seventy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
Hours a week. I can only imagine. And well, I mean,
of course, you got these early retirements. People aren't even
participating in the drop program there just like I'm done,
I'm gone, and increases the problem. And that's still a
concept going on right now, ken, isn't it.

Speaker 20 (01:04:26):
Well, absolutely, you know that it is a problem. And
what we're seeing is officers that just get burnt out.
They get burned out as soon as they get their
twenty five years, they just leave because I mean, how
many years consistently, a year after year can you go
out and work sixty or seventy hours.

Speaker 19 (01:04:41):
A week, you know, yearly?

Speaker 20 (01:04:45):
Uh, and year after year after year, you just get
burnt out. It's like anything else, you know, you have
you do the same thing over and over and over
for such an extended period of time, and they get
burned out.

Speaker 19 (01:04:56):
They go, I'm done with this.

Speaker 17 (01:04:57):
I just want to retire.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
Hey, you know, I think about the ripple effect on that.
Not to go down to some cul de sac here
that's unnecessary. But obviously that has a profound impact on
their family life. I mean, I imagine a lot of
divorces coming from that, a lot of children not seeing
their mom or dad because of the overtime hours. So
that's a tough thing to have to deal with when
you're a police officer.

Speaker 20 (01:05:18):
Yeah, absolutely, you've got to be able to try to
manage your raising the family. So if you're married, all
of those things on top of the demands of or
one hundred and fifty officers short, we have been consistently
for years now, and there is certainly a cause and
effect all these things. And I said, and that's what
we're seeing, is it's driving officers just to retire early,
which of course then has even a more negative effect

(01:05:41):
on manpower.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
Have there been any efforts yet, to mean, to really
go after these lateral hires. I mean, I keep hearing
about it, and I've heard it. I've heard told that
it should be fairly easy to lure other police officers
who are uniformed in licensing wherever they happen to be patrolling,
to get them to come to the city of Cincinnati,
better set galery, perhaps better pension.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
But is that happening? I mean that I.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Haven't heard anything in terms of numbers of acquiring lateral hires.
There's literally nothing reported on that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Ken. Is there anything like that going on right now?

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
Well?

Speaker 12 (01:06:13):
Yeah, I mean there was certainly a push for it.

Speaker 20 (01:06:16):
There are some nuances to this that are going to
have to be worked out, but I'm telling you, and
I had officers that were calling me from other agencies
that were considering doing this, and then they saw the
way that this you know, attack at Fourth and Elm
was handled having council members come out and say, oh
that those people begged for that beat down, that that

(01:06:38):
absolutely negatively affected efforts by the police department to recruit
laterals because they's.

Speaker 19 (01:06:44):
Going to deal with it.

Speaker 20 (01:06:45):
You know, when I started here twenty five years ago,
you know, I didn't come here because I thought the
mayor the city manager was going to pat me on
the back. I came here for opportunity, you know, to
work in an urban environment where there's a lot of
opportunity to have different jobs. And it's been all but
you know, the cops of this generation see the negative

(01:07:06):
things that council members have said, inflammatory things that they've said,
and went, I don't need to.

Speaker 19 (01:07:11):
Come here, I'll just stay where I'm at yep. And
that's that has had a bad impact on things.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
That really has, and there's no doubt about it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
I and you know, the mayor and council only have
themselves to blame for that, for not more outlauds supporting
the police department. And then we find out yesterday when
the charging documents are finally released, that the element of
the crime that was the lynch pined to getting a
fourth degree misdemeanor filed against the white guy who hit
the slab, didn't even wasn't even there. They're missing a
whole element of the crime, which is one of the

(01:07:40):
reasons why I guess the police officers didn't want to
issue a citation, and why the prosecutor haven't kunty prosecutor
didn't want to issue a citation, and yet a citation
was issued anyway, So this whole trip was completely unnecessary.
I was really appalled at the revelations on that. So
it's really not making the city of Cincinnay look that
great when it comes to again law enforcement. So and

(01:08:03):
can I just throw out something Fred called earlier today.
He's a good caller and he lives over in Westwood.
Apparently mckenry is a real problem. We got gangs of
people hanging out on corners what he described as controlling
the streets, engaging in criminal activity. Joe Strecker chimed in
with me after Fred spoke his piece and he was
talking to me off air. He said, oh my god,
he goes I used to have to drive back and
forth all the time when I was dealing with my

(01:08:24):
ex wife, and he said, it is a dangerous street
to even drive on he said, you got to roll
your windows up and lock the doors. Are you familiar
with mckenry and Westwood being a problem, Ken, I hate
to throw this at you sort of out of nowhere,
but it did come up this morning since Joe Strecker
really really backed what Fred was saying. I thought that
was rather interesting And isn't that an area where we

(01:08:46):
could use more police officers?

Speaker 20 (01:08:48):
Well, it is, and it's absolutely ironic that you bring
up specifically mckenry Avenue. I was at internal yesterday for
an officer who had a complaint filed against someone. It
was a nonsense complaint and the complaint was all over
an officer.

Speaker 19 (01:09:03):
To stop the vehicle. That was the vehicle was stopped in.

Speaker 20 (01:09:08):
The middle of the street and was having a conversation
with known drug dealers, and the officers ended up deciding
to you know, follow the vehicle, identify a traffic violation,
and stop them to see what's going on.

Speaker 12 (01:09:21):
So there is certainly work being done there.

Speaker 19 (01:09:24):
There's more work that needs.

Speaker 20 (01:09:25):
To be done there, but you know, we're certainly aware
that that that area has a lot of problems and
it's something that is being addressed on a daily basis
fair enough.

Speaker 3 (01:09:35):
Ken, Again, I mean to put you a spot, but
I'm glad I did in that regard. But I think
maybe you'd be the first person to agree with me.
That's one street in one neighborhood, and it's not the
only one that has struggles.

Speaker 20 (01:09:47):
Like that, without a doubt, without a doubt, And those
are things that officers are having to deal with on
a daily basis. And you know, it's certainly something that
when we get one hundred and fifty one hundred and
sixty more cops is going to be certainly easy to
address those issues.

Speaker 3 (01:10:01):
Amen, and that result and that that relief can't come
soon enough, So we'll all pray for the city and
that we can get these officers on board. Was was
there anything real quick for we part company can cover
in the propos of the five point four million dollar
package of stuff that they're supposed to approve that it
looks like they will approve. Is there anything in there
that you think was stupid or a foolish allocation? Know

(01:10:23):
that money should not go to that program. It should
go to maybe hiring more police or maybe more overtime
or whatever, or not even be included an allocation of money,
anything in there that's that's pointless from your perspective, Ken, No,
when you.

Speaker 20 (01:10:35):
Look at sometimes how the city will squander away money,
I think everything that was done in that is at
least done in good faith and trying to make an
impact on safety.

Speaker 19 (01:10:48):
So that's something that's more certainly thankful for.

Speaker 20 (01:10:51):
And I said, the only thing that really kind of
jumped out of me was, you know, the additional overtime,
which is which is fantastic if we can get officers
to volunteer for it.

Speaker 19 (01:11:02):
It's something that they shouldn't be forced.

Speaker 6 (01:11:04):
They shouldn't be.

Speaker 19 (01:11:05):
Ordering these cops to do it.

Speaker 20 (01:11:06):
As you know, I talked earlier about how much how
much overtime has been worked. So yeah, we do have
like the Reds you know, are gonna be wrapping up
their season soon, so it will hopefully have officers that
you know that typically worked at might be have an
opportunity to work other overtime.

Speaker 12 (01:11:22):
But it's something where this is all going to have
to be done at this point.

Speaker 20 (01:11:25):
On a voluntary basis because officers are just getting barn
out and they're.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
Tired, and that's only going to exacerbate the problem even further.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):

I chuckled when I read this before we get to Jack. Yesterday,

(01:13:52):
Trump Trump signed an executive memo ordering the administration to
address what he described as misleading drug advertising in order
to ensure transparency and accuracy. This would be direct to
consumer marketing of pharmaceuticals. You know the drug ads that
you see every night incessantly, over and over and over

(01:14:13):
and over again. Right, Well, they're about to get worse
in the sense of the information they have to provide
you if they choose to advertise on television. According to
the announcement of the FDA, as historically stipulated, the manufacturer, packer,
or a distributor must provide the public with materially complete information,
fairly balancing both the benefits and risk of the drug

(01:14:36):
over time. However, the memorandum states the FDA's requirements have
permitted drug companies to include less information, particularly in broadcast advertising,
and drug manufacturer advertising has skyrocketed in recent decades. Really,
I didn't notice so.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Robert F.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
Kennedy, Junior Health Secretary, noted that prior to nineteen ninety seven,
pharmaceutical advertisers were required to put all their side effects
in the ads. In ninety seven, the FDA change the
rules to allow them to report the side effects on
websites or by telephone. They only had to report a
few of them on television. And I chuckle when I
read that. It's like, no, the list of things that

(01:15:15):
are going to kill you when you take a pharmaceuticals
like seemingly endless. Already, that's only a few of the
things that are going to kill you. He pointed out
that that triggered a proliferation of the ads. The advertising
spend went from one billion dollars in ninety seven to
six billion dollars annually.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
So now Trump is ordering more information to be provided
by the pharmaceutical companies in the ads, saying the AHHS
will take appropriate action to ensure the transparency and accuracy
increasing the amount of information regarding any risks associated with
the use of any such prescription drug. So I guess
the one minute commercials will now be four and a

(01:15:55):
half minute commercials, eating up the entire advertising segment. Enjoy
six fifty six or better, they'll just quit advertising them.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):

Cities are back in the news, from the National Guard
restoring law and order in our neation's capital, to Ice
arresting illegal alien gang members in Chicago and meeting the opposition,
and now the murder by a revolving door criminal of
a Ukrainian refugee who I know Brian reminds dads like

(01:17:16):
us of our beautiful young daughters.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
I can hear how affected you've been.

Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
God Almighty that picture of that frozen moment right before
so sick.

Speaker 21 (01:17:26):
We may be about to elect soft on crime socialist
mayors in New York and Cincinnati. Yes, you've been reporting
on this election's season, deal with Governor DeWine, but still
soft on crime all the rest of the year. We
always try to put today's crises in historical perspective, So

(01:17:46):
let's explore how so many American cities stopped helping people
from all over the world from joining America's middle class
and instead are now becoming the next failed communists. For
most of our history, immigrants fleeing hardship and oppression landed
legally in cities. During the height of legal immigration, from

(01:18:11):
eighteen ninety two until nineteen fifty four, twelve million people
passed through New York's Ellis Island. Twelve million sounds like
a lot until you realize that an estimated fifteen million
illegal immigrants waltzed through Joe Biden's open borders in just
four years. Prior to nineteen fifty four, Many of those

(01:18:33):
legal immigrants already had sponsors and jobs lined up when
they got here, because this was before the United States
offered everyone welfare. Back then, you didn't come if you
couldn't contribute to our country instead of leaching off taxpayers.
Is a wonderful movie not that long ago, called Brooklyn,

(01:18:54):
about an Irish girl doing just that, contributing because the
church had arranged for her to get an entry level
job and then set it at a night school in
America to become an accountant. Cities with a passageway to
a good middle class life for all of our ancestors Europeans,
Asians and African American slaves. Frederick Douglas was sent by

(01:19:18):
his slave owner to Baltimore so we could learn to
build ships for the slave owner. But the future abolitionist
escaped to a northern city, a free city, New York,
posing as a free black sailor. Back then, New York
had shipyards and all kinds of factories which President Trump

(01:19:39):
is trying to bring back. We've talked about how my
mom's family found jobs in New York's garment district, hunched
over sewing machines while their babies slept on shelves until
those sweatshops found they could pay workers lower wages in
non union Southern states, and then even better starvation wages

(01:20:00):
is for children in communists China. It got harder and
harder for ambitious middle class workers to raise a family
in New York City, unless maybe you worked in finance
or advertising, or if you joined a government union. Sanitation workers,
transportation employees, and especially teachers all unionized and provided politicians

(01:20:27):
with the most valuable thing. Every candidate craves votes. In
all the big cities, government union voters began electing politicians
they could control governments they could control right now, in Chicago,
the worst mayor in America. I'm not saying something. Brandon
Johnson started out as a public school teacher who organized

(01:20:50):
a crippling teacher strike. The union contracts he demanded, complete
with princely pensions and benefits, are bad, corrupting almost all
of our cities, and the mayor secured votes not just
from union members but also from former students who had
been indoctrinated in socialist schools and universities. But, folks, to

(01:21:15):
turn voters into lifelong democrats, you need one more thing,
one crucial thing. You have to make those voters hopelessly
dependent on big government. Not only poor voters kept illiterate, untrained,
and fit for nothing but a life of crime that
goes unpunished, but also rich voters. The rich depend on

(01:21:37):
sweetheart government contracts like the ones Obama and Biden handed
out to donors for green energy and so much else.
They also get rich off government mandates and regulations that
kill competition. They profit from Nancy Pelosi type insider stock
tips and tax breaks, and worst of all, Brian anti

(01:21:58):
American deals that shipped our own manufacturing jobs overseas by
letting other countries impose teriffs of US and then, in
the name of free trade, refuse to impose reciprocal tariffs.
It's like, you know, unilaterally disarming for a gunfight, and
speaking of threats from overseas, the single most important thing

(01:22:23):
we have to do immediately to make American cities American
again is to stop illegal immigrants from being counted as
US residents in the census, the twenty thirty census. Because
the census determines how congressional seats are allocated. Counting illegals,

(01:22:43):
as everybody in this audience knows, swells the population of
Blue states that welcome them, like New York and California,
and that takes seats away from red states. In fact,
counting the millions of illegal immigrants now in America thanks
to Biden and Obama and others and some Republicans, Counting
those illegals in the census is the only thing as

(01:23:05):
preserving congressional delegations in many Blue states because more and
more of their legal citizens are fleeing to red states. Now,
please note, we do not have to deport all of
those illegal immigrants, but we must immediately change the census
rules and at the same time strip federal funding from

(01:23:27):
sanctuary cities. Maybe if things don't change, including Cincinnati, and
just one last thing, Bryant, it's not only Democrats who
are turning cities into socialist hellholes. Conservators for generations have
abandoned the cities where their parents and grandparents found freedom
and opportunity back then. Cincinnati used to alternatives we've discussed

(01:23:51):
between Democrat, Charter Right and Republican mayors. No more until
maybe November. It's up to everybody listening to this show
right now. When you lose cities, you can lose states.
Abandoning cities makes our whole country more and more polarized,
more and more radical, and ungovernable. The late great Congressman

(01:24:14):
Jack Kemp could have turned his back on the impoverished
city where he played pro football, Buffalo, New York. Instead,
Kemp fought for empower consonans and tax incentives for businesses
that invest in cities. Left wing candidates raised millions from
out of town donors. You were talking last hour with

(01:24:34):
Jay about George Sorrows. There are many more. So even
if we don't live in a big city, I urge
everyone to support common sense candidates as you do, Brian,
both privately. I've been with you with fundraisers and by
giving them a platform on this great show, including candidates

(01:24:55):
like Corey Bowman, Christopher Smitherman, and Steve Gooden. Making all
all of our cities great again is still possible if
we fight, fight, fight to spread our values everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:25:07):
What do you say, brother, Well, I was content a
couple of things, And I was thinking about the New
York or mayor race with Mom Dommi being the front
runner and him being an avowed you know, at minimum socialists,
if not Marxist or communists, And how he's ahead in
the polls, and how a lot of these cities keep
shifting further and further left, as you observed it's happened

(01:25:29):
in the city of Cincinnati over the years. Now it's
really solid blue. And this point that he made earlier
about the pension systems, and they keep voting for more
and more pension systems. They're so collectively dumb they think
this can continue. It's like the spending on a federal level.
We're thirty seven trillion debt and it keeps growing. It can't,
it can't go on forever. They seem to be in

(01:25:50):
a collective state of absolute epic stupidity or complete denial
to that fiscal reality. But with mom DOMI if he wins,
and I was advocating for him, let it go ahead,
let him win, the place will fall apart. Is that
a bad thing, maybe, Jack, given that we don't pay
attention to all of the failed illustrations of socialism and

(01:26:11):
communism around the globe, the countries who have committed suicide
by pursuing that Venezuela. One of the more recent illustrations.
If you looked at the pre socialist Venezuela versus the
current version. You can see a catastrophic failure. It's failed
the population. So we aren't paying attention to that. We

(01:26:32):
collectively are moving more socialists. So if New York City
were to under Momdami to go full on socialism, they
get their city run grocery stores and all the other
nonsense rent control. I believe the place will collapse. Will
that be enough for us to wake up to this
harsh reality that it doesn't work?

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
Jack Aviden, Well, you and I just agree about this.

Speaker 21 (01:26:53):
I think about Robert Bork, you know who talks about
slouching toward Gamara, ratcheting down our expectations. You're going to
get a larger and larger base in New York of
people who don't really believe in American values in the
Constitution and free enterprise. And yes, the Republicans may come

(01:27:14):
roaring back in the next election, but it really poisons
the system. I think, if there's a chance of defeating
Mom Donnie not crazy about Cuomo, courtis Lee wish should
be given a chance and perhaps some money by people
that are listening. We ought to take it. If he wins,
then of course we have to deal with it. But
I wouldn't give up until he wins.

Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
Well, I just kind of look at it this way.
I don't think any of the business and industry is
going to go out of the country. It will flee
New York because of the heavy regulation, outrageous taxation, and
the failed economic experiment that they're engaged in. Now they
too have pension problems and budget problems. So I suggest
that everyone who is capable of leaving will leave, and
they'll end up setting up shop in Florida or Tennessee

(01:27:57):
or some other state that is more welcoming, less oppressive,
so we still get the benefit of the revenue and
the jobs. They'll just come from some other state. And
I have my popcorn out watching New York fall into
a state of absolute despair because they're idiots and they
voted for an idiot.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
Finally, maybe we wake up Jack.

Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
I don't know, just waiting for that day, because collectively,
I think we all have been indoctrinated completely, or at
least so much so. Our young people can't read, they
can't engage in mathematics. They're going to be a perpetual
recipients of government handouts because they can't feed themselves or
shelter themselves. It's all bad, Jack, I just can't find
any good in any of this.

Speaker 21 (01:28:40):
Well, what else do you want to talk about, because
it's pretty depressing.

Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
I agree with your pell.

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
Puppy dogs, rainbows, unicorns, and listener lunch today, which is
going to be a good thing. So we'll end on
a happy note. I'm looking forward to the fellowship that
we haven't listener lunch much in the same way my
wife and I enjoy You're in Ainsley's fellowship when we
get together for dinner. Jack, it's a wonderful thing. And
enjoy our friendship. And I certainly enjoy your commentary every

see what Jeff's got this morning. Jeff, Happy Wednesday. Thanks
for calling.

Speaker 6 (01:31:44):
Hey, Happy Wednesday, Brian.

Speaker 9 (01:31:45):
As always, you and Joe are true patriots, buddy.

Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
Thanks brother. I always enjoy hearing that. What's on your
mind today, my friend?

Speaker 9 (01:31:52):
Well, I mean I feel bad for all the all
these people that when you and I I have to
talk about what we learned in elementary school about sticks
and stones and names will never hurt us. I mean,
holy mackerel. I mean, it's just I mean, I and

(01:32:17):
it happens now in schools too, where this mob mentality
takes over. And and I can still remember when I
was in junior high and anything like this would happen
even if they were total strangers. In the hallway or wherever,
people would step in instantly. I mean people would step

(01:32:37):
in and push people apart that were trying to fight
or trying to, you know, start something. I mean, I
just don't get that anyone thinks it's okay because someone
hits someone, let's also hit them.

Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
I mean, oh okay, Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
You're a burn of the end of July brawl in
downtown Cincinnati is illustration.

Speaker 9 (01:33:02):
I mean, I mean, I'm just I'm just blown away
when I see people that act like you know, like
they have no minds where it's ay. And then, of
course the cowardice steps up in my mind almost every time.

Speaker 4 (01:33:18):
I mean.

Speaker 9 (01:33:20):
Anytime I see a person that's twice as day as
another person and they have any concept that that makes
them look big, or makes them look good, or makes
them look I hate say proud or something. I mean,
that is just cowardice.

Speaker 1 (01:33:37):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
Of course, the great illustration of that is when that
woman Holly got punched and knocked the cold out on
the street in Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (01:33:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
Well, because the concept of civility seems to have evaporated
at some point over the years. And I'm going to
take a real quick cheap shot and blame social media.
I mean, the the outrage and the insults that people
express on social media. They're are basically anonymous. They have
no concept of decency or how to treat their fellow
man or woman as the case.

Speaker 4 (01:34:06):
Maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:34:06):
Yeah, civility as a concept has eroded.

Speaker 9 (01:34:10):
In any town that thinks, or any city, I should say,
usually it's bigger cities. But that when I when I
saw that little girl get stabbed, right, her little girl.
I know, she's a woman, but still to me and
to you She's a little girl. I mean, my god.
And then and to think that everybody in that city

(01:34:33):
thinks that anything was okay with that. When you get
to a point where in a city you look away
from anything that you should get involved in, I mean,
you've got you've got a real problem in your city.
I mean, that poor little girl, she had no one
to hold her. I mean it just broke my heart.
I mean, anybody in that anybody in that tram could

(01:34:56):
have held her for those last minutes, and it would
have meant the world to her and her family and
anybody else. And yet everybody just looked away. You know, Oh,
it's none of our business. You know that we don't
we don't get involved, and yet they can be proud
that they're in a city like that. I mean, I

(01:35:16):
would think that every person that city should feel ashamed
for that to happen. Yeah, and to sit there and
and just look the other way.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
Well, yeah, let me put a little let me put
a little sav on the obvious emotion you're feeling this morning. Remember,
the reporting is always going to gravitate towards the bat
crap insane. The reporting will always report on that leftist,
crazy nut job who thinks that. Oh, No, we shouldn't
be focusing on the victim. We need to focus on
the criminal because in this case, the person was obviously

(01:35:48):
struggling with some cognitive mental challenge. We need to acknowledge
that and take that into account. No, we need to
think about the girl who got stabbed to death in
cold blood for no reason. What's Let's focus on that.
And I think the vast majority of people in the
city that particular city, in any other city, probably feel
the same way. They're just not gonna have their feelings
reported on the on the mainstream media because it represents normal.

(01:36:14):
It's like Dwaine yesterday. You know, the crime is committed
by a small segment of the population. You know, the
insane is coming from a small segment of this woke
leftist population. Their message is gonna be repeated because it
doesn't make any damn sense to the rest of us
out here in the real world. God bless you, Jeff
hanging in there man. Seven twenty eight, We're gonna hear

seven thirty one fifty boy KRCD Talk Station.

Speaker 1 (01:37:34):
Happy Wednesday. It's that time of week, Americans for a prosperity.

Speaker 3 (01:37:38):
Donald O'Neil joins the program and sounds like a great
idea and a media jonathan' neil doing something about government shutdowns.
It happens all the time. It is a manufactured crisis.
They have twelve appropriations bills. If they did their damn job,
it's part of their job description. You wouldn't have continuing resolutions.
You wouldn't have these ridiculous omnibus spending measures which you

(01:38:00):
can kick the can down the road and obviously increase
or at least maintain the current level of spending, but
always with more money. It's not good for the American people.
It's actually terrible for the American people, and it's easily avoidable.
Donovan and Neil, Is there anything we can do? There
ought to be a law. Is there a proposal out
in the world that's going to stop this?

Speaker 22 (01:38:19):
There is a proposal and introduced by Budget Chairman Jody
Errington out of Texas and Senator Langford out of Oklahoma.
Reintroduced something that they've introduced for a little while a
few Congresses now taken a while to get the idea
to stick, but the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act would do
just that. It would prevent government shutdowns from happening. A

(01:38:39):
very simple proposal that would require Congress to stay in Washington.
No going back home and campaigning or enjoying Thanksgiving with
your family until you get the dang budget done. The
most simple constitutional requirement Congress has, right, Brian, is to
fund the federal government. And this would help in that

(01:39:00):
brinksmanship that we see all too often happen and is
unfortunately right around the corner with September thirtieth looming.

Speaker 3 (01:39:07):
Well, how's this bill written in a sense that it's
just going to say that if you haven't done the
twelve appropriations bill, then you just can't take a vacation day.
Is as simple as that, or is the more to it?

Speaker 22 (01:39:19):
Well, so what it would do is it would say
there's no taxpayer funded travel allowances to go back home
to your district, no official funds for these trips overseas,
for codel type travel that they'll do. You can't use
a loophole and bring campaign funds to supplement official duties
or travel expenses. And they have to stay in session.
They can't recess more than twenty three hours at a time,

(01:39:41):
and so you're essentially constraining them to have to stay
in Washington, d C. To finish to finish the process.
Out of course, I don't think you could physically keep
a human being a Capitol hill, but right, effectively, this
process constrains them to get the job done, don't. Instead
of the government shutting down, what it does is put

(01:40:03):
in an automatic continuing resolution to keep funding levels the
way they are while they continue to negotiate and debate
through the appropriations process.

Speaker 3 (01:40:15):
Well, if you have a conservative majority that actually is
interested in reducing spending in order to get our hands
around the ridiculous overspending we engage in every year, a
continuing resolution automatically going into effect that keeps spending levels
at the current rate might put a smile on Democrats face.

Speaker 1 (01:40:36):
Well it could.

Speaker 22 (01:40:37):
I think the most important piece of this, though, is
removing this weapon, if you will, from the negotiating table,
that is government shutdowns, and it's continually used right in
sort of a hostage taking approach to governance, as I say,
where you either side Republicans or Democrats can say, let's
we get what we want. You know, we're just going

(01:40:58):
to let the government shut down and you see how that.
You know, let the party in power see how that
plays out. Well at the end of the day, as
we've seen even with the longest government shutdowns, the government
ends up still paying for all that back pay for
the employees who are furloughed. You put those employees in
a tight situation where they're not seeing income coming in,
and we end up finding ways to spend more money

(01:41:20):
because once you're in a shutdown, everybody, every vote has
more power and influence than it maybe had before. And
so this whole, the whole brinksmanship thing is what we
want to avoid with this type of an approach where
we can say, look, you don't there's no good there's
not gonna be any high stakes drama, no no postering
and positioning here, just get your job done and appropriate

(01:41:42):
the money to fund the essential services that the federal
government has an obligation to provide.

Speaker 4 (01:41:47):
All.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
Brian Thomas with Donald and Neil for Americans for Prosperity
helping us get engaged, to engage, and this sounds like
I'm I'm I've been reading the articles that were posted
on Americans for Prosperity dot org, the Americans for Prosperity
website on this Prevent Government Shutdowns Act, and I mean,
I think it sounds like a great idea, even keeping

(01:44:30):
spending it last year's level force, and it kept. It
keeps the government open, so no one's screaming and running
around talking about, oh my god, I can't pay my rent.
These evil Republicans and it's always the Republicans get blamed
for a shutdown, and I don't understand how that logic
and reason works. I'm not dumb enough to be duped
by that argument. But I blame all of them for
their collective failure to not do their damn jobs in

(01:44:50):
past twelve appropriations bills. And that's I guess intentional. So
they do bring about these continuing resolutions, these omnibus bills, Donovan,
I mean, that's but that's done intentionally.

Speaker 6 (01:45:03):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 22 (01:45:03):
And what's crazy is this is this isn't you know?
The budgeting process in Congress is actually a very long process,
and still we find ourselves in crisis mode. This starts
way back in February thereabouts, where the President submits the
Executive submits their budget proposal to Congress. Congress reviews that
they spend what from February through September, you know, seven

(01:45:25):
six seven months there, reviewing, bringing in executive agencies and
other federal departments to review and do these appropriations. Yet
we still find ourselves year after year in September daring
down a potential shutdown or continuing resolution or potential omnibus bill.
It shouldn't be this way, Brian. And one of that

(01:45:47):
what this legislation does is helps remove that that looming
threat of the government shutdown, at least removing that from
the bargaining table, so that Congress just really zeros in
on its core constitutional responsibility and gets the government funded
at an appropriate level to provide the services that the
American people expect from them.

Speaker 3 (01:46:07):
Well, and this has been done, as I note from
your reporting on this. Auto continuing resolutions like this legislation
proposes exist in the states of North Carolina, Wisconsin, Rhode Island,
and there are other states eighteen of them and have
partial auto continuing resolutions, which apparently has worked in promoting
this more deliberative process. And they've had far better record

(01:46:30):
than Congress and passing spending the legislation on time because
of the autocrs.

Speaker 22 (01:46:35):
Well, yeah, and to the point of the hostage taking position.
I believe it was North Carolina had played with expanding
Medicaid expansion, and so I'm not sure how it all
played out there, but you could imagine what happened is
you have some Democrat voters who your votes, who would say, hey,
unless you expand Medicaid and increase government spending on this program,
we're not going to come to the table and negotiate

(01:46:57):
in good faith. It's get a budget built done to say, well, look,
that's fine, you don't have to come to the table
because we have this auto continuing resolution. We're going to
continue to fund essential government services. As you know, the
people in North Carolina in this case in America expect
when you're ready to actually just fund the government and
do our jobs, great, we'll be here ready to pass

(01:47:18):
that bill. In the meantime, we're going to keep funding
things at a flat level without any increase to the taxpayer.

Speaker 3 (01:47:24):
Well, I know you're always engaged in outreach with our
outreach with our elected officials at Americans for Prosperity.

Speaker 1 (01:47:29):
Has the water been tested on this?

Speaker 3 (01:47:31):
I mean the idea of some elected official actually voting
to take away something that might inure to their benefit,
for example, travel expenses going home and having vacation with
the family, whatever it happens to be. It's like, I
really don't trust either Republicans or Democrats to back this
merely because it might they might personally find it inconvenient

(01:47:52):
or I don't know, they might put them on the
spot in terms of having to do their job. How's
it looking for this, because you know, objectively everyone should
want this, It's.

Speaker 22 (01:48:03):
Congress, Brian, how do you think it's looking.

Speaker 4 (01:48:08):
Well?

Speaker 22 (01:48:08):
You know, these ideas take some time to gain traction, right,
and they'll often see bills get introduced over and over again.
The bad ones we call zombie bills, these ones, I
don't know what we.

Speaker 10 (01:48:19):
Call them, but these are the good idea that we
want to see.

Speaker 22 (01:48:21):
Eventually become law, you know. And we're going to use
this opportunity around the impending September thirtieth budget deadline to
drive the narrative around this and talk about how it
doesn't have to be this way, you know, God forbid,
we do get to a very serious potential of a
government shut down in the next couple of weeks. These
kinds of ideas are going to be really relevant, and

(01:48:43):
the folks like Langford and Arrington who are introducing them
and talking about them. I think you're going to be
very well received by the American people, and so we'll
keep working on these. You know, it's hard to get
government to reform, but you keep chipping away. You get
new members in Congress in the Senate who could be
open to these ideas. Right stop or Moreno, We'll talk
to them about that. Dave Taylor, right user, common sense

(01:49:04):
folks who just you know, like Moreno and Taylor, who
came from the private sector. They understand they've been on
the receding end of when government isn't working, not on
the inside of it. And so we'll keep chipping away
and working on it. But it takes a grassroots pressure.
And that's what we do at AfD is we apply
the crossroots pressure to make these good ideas stick.

Speaker 3 (01:49:21):
And how can my listeners help apply the grassroots pressure?

honor flight tri State Wednesday. Get over to CVG tonight
about eight thirty for the welcome home ceremony. You'll be
glad you did outstanding, outstanding opportunity to witness some beautiful
patriotism and sleuth the American veterans big flight, I think
curbage Mike said there were eighty eight veterans on at

(01:52:43):
the vast majority of are Vietnam veterans, handful of Korean
War veterans. So CVG is the place to be tonight.
Someone who knows that. On the phone, Andrew pappis former
Anderson Township trustee. Always great hearing from you, Drew.

Speaker 23 (01:52:56):
Yeah, I was there seeing them off this morning, and
I'm glad you gave the shout out. That's why I
was calling, just to remind people that you know, you've
seen it.

Speaker 6 (01:53:06):
It's just a really moving ceremony tonight.

Speaker 23 (01:53:10):
If you can get to CDG, I recommend being there
by about eight thirty. The flight will be walked getting back,
they'll be walking up somewhere close to nine o'clock. And UH,
if you can bring bring bring your young ones out.
It's really really moving for the veterans to uh to
be see the young people out welcoming them home, especially

(01:53:31):
as you mentioned, our Vietnam veterans are just you know,
how they were treated when they came home and it
really hits home for Vietnam more than they're all.

Speaker 1 (01:53:43):
Moved by it.

Speaker 23 (01:53:44):
But it seems like Vietnam really appreciates the thank you
that they get back at CVG tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:53:50):
Yeah, they were deserving of a thank you when they
got back.

Speaker 23 (01:53:53):
They didn't get they were It was a different it
was a different time, and sadly it was an embarrassing
I think it was really embarrassing time for this country,
and they did not get one, and.

Speaker 1 (01:54:05):
They were treated quite poorly.

Speaker 23 (01:54:06):
And this is a long overdue amends for that wrong
that they were given.

Speaker 3 (01:54:12):
Yeah, no question about it. In my experience, an honor
flight and wasn't relative to the Vietnam veterans, but in
so far as young people. When we were on the
mall on one of the honor flights I took you
both of the honor flights, there happened to be school
groups there in Washington, d C. Doing the same thing
we were doing, which is checking out the monuments and
touring the capitol. But they were all really good about

(01:54:32):
young people, really good about voluntarily, just on their own initiative,
coming over and shaking hands with the veterans there. And man,
the veterans just they were really moved by that. I mean,
it just kept commenting about, oh my god, this is
so nice these young people like showing some measure of
appreciation for these guys. So yeah, I mean, if you
can get your young people out and Lord knows, Drew,
and I'm sure you agree with this, we need this

(01:54:56):
event tonight, and society seems to be swirling out of control,
nothing but bad news floating around all off there, crime
rampant in the streets, and all these political divisions and everything.
This is one evening when you're not going to have
any of that nonsense. It's joyous, it's patriotic. You're doing
a great service with the veterans by showing up and
saluting them. I mean, there's nothing but positivity that comes

(01:55:17):
out of that welcome home ceremony.

Speaker 4 (01:55:19):
Drew.

Speaker 23 (01:55:20):
Yeah, absolutely, it is a really I mean, it is
just a feel good It's nothing political about tonight or
there today this event.

Speaker 6 (01:55:28):
There's nothing political at all. I mean, you know, I've.

Speaker 23 (01:55:30):
Had veterans that were Democrats and Republicans, i mean all
across the spectrum, and you know what, we're all Americans
and we go on these honor flights and they are
just a love of country, appreciation of service, and an
expression of gratitude.

Speaker 6 (01:55:47):
And I gotta be honest with you.

Speaker 23 (01:55:50):
You hit it on the head the way these young
people in d c here in Cincinnati when they come
up to tonight at the event, when they come up
to these veterans and they say thank you for your service.
I mean I've heard it countless times. You see these veterans,
you see how this just really affects them and how much,
say how much it just touches their soul, and how

(01:56:12):
much they appreciate it. And it's it's a it's a
it's a moving event. It will change you. And if
it doesn't touch you, then really you have no soul
because it is a it is a special, special deal.
And I can't you will get so much more out
of coming tonight or participating in any way, shape or form,

(01:56:33):
then you will put into it. You know, it's a
net plus. And so I just can't recommend it enough.
I will say, you know, parking will be tight.

Speaker 6 (01:56:41):
Because it does get busy there.

Speaker 1 (01:56:44):
So if you.

Speaker 23 (01:56:45):
Can carpool, grate and and and and and signs, make
your own signs, it's just a wonderful. We have a parade.
You've seen it. It's it's a parade type deal. It's
just wonderful. And so I just want to remind everybody
I really schools back in But if you can, you know,
spare an hour or two this evening.

Speaker 6 (01:57:05):
It's it is just.

Speaker 23 (01:57:06):
Really something that will not only change you probably well
you have the ability to change the life of somebody
else by just showing your appreciation and how much you
appreciate their sacrifices.

Speaker 3 (01:57:20):
Well stated cannot improve on that. Drew Pappus, Thank you
so much for those excellent words and excellent summary of
what people will experience tonight. And if you've been there,
you know Drew is telling you the street truth. Take care, brother,

Very happy Wednesday to you listener. Lon Janderson pub and
grow extra special Wednesday. My favorite hour of radio involves
Congressman Thomas Massey, followed by Judge Ennapolitano. Welcome to that day,
big smile on my face. Welcome back, Congressman Massy. It's
great having you on the show.

Speaker 6 (01:58:32):
Brian, great to be on the show with you.

Speaker 3 (01:58:33):
Well, we appreciate your championing the effort to get these
Epstein documents released. I do not understand the current administration's
take on it. After years of talking about releasing them, You, however,
see in a different way, and you've pushed to have
the documents released. I know we got some documents released recently.
I think the Epstein family had control of that birthday
card ensemble or whatever. But there's still more to be

(01:58:56):
found out there. And I know there was a press
conference the other day the Epstein victims. Why don't you
give us a rundown of where we are on this.
Congressman Thomas Massey, sure, Right.

Speaker 24 (01:59:06):
Before the August recess, I introduced a bipartisan effort to
force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. There's a
procedural maneuver in the House called a discharge petition, whereby
if you can get two hundred and eighteen signatures, you
can bypass the speaker and vote on any legislation.

Speaker 6 (01:59:24):
So that's the maneuver that I'm using.

Speaker 24 (01:59:26):
I've got four Republicans right now who've signed it. That's myself,
Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Bobert, and Nancy Mace. Every Democrat
has signed it. So we're up to two hundred and
sixteen signatures as of this morning, but within two weeks
we're going to be at two hundred and eighteen signatures

(01:59:47):
because there are two vacancies filling seats that will be filled,
and both of those members of Congress who are incoming
have indicated they will sign the discharge petition, at which
point we're going to have a vote on legally binding
legislation to release the Epstein files. Now, simultaneously, the Oversight Committee,

(02:00:08):
led by James Comer, is doing their own investigation and
they're getting some interesting material, but the problem is everything
they get from the DOJ, they're allowing the DOJ to curate,
to redact, to decide what to give them and what
not to give them. And so some people have claimed
that my effort is redundant with the Oversight Committee's investigation,

(02:00:31):
but the reality is that is not true because mine
would require a full release of the files. And the
best evidence that my legislative effort is not redundant is
the intensity with which the swamp is resisting my effort
to have a vote on this, including the Speaker of

(02:00:53):
the House, and in fact, the White House is now
against releasing all of the Epstein file, which is unfortunate
because that was one of the things that was promised
during the campaign, right the Vice President supported it, the
Attorney General supported it, and the FBI director supported it.

(02:01:14):
So now they've all backtracked. But I'm still where I
was three years ago. You know, people say, Congress Smancy,
why weren't you doing this a few years ago? Well,
the reality is you can go back and find my
social media posts where I said to release the Epstein
files while Joe Biden was president. It just wasn't possible,
then there wasn't this parliamentary maneuver wouldn't have been successful

(02:01:37):
to get to two hundred and eighteen. But we're going
to get to two hundred and eighteen and we're going
to have this vote.

Speaker 1 (02:01:42):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:01:44):
The big question I've got burning in my head, Congress
and Messy is why?

Speaker 4 (02:01:48):
Why?

Speaker 3 (02:01:49):
What is the resistance? Why is the resistance from the
Republicans this time around? When seeing me, everyone was advocating
for the release of these documents? Donald Trump included, what's
the problem with this? And the Democrats are all in
favor of releasing This is a strange turn of events.
Congressrom Massy, can you answer the why question?

Speaker 24 (02:02:08):
Well, I think the Democrats are in favor of it
now because they see that the White House is committing
ballistic pedietary, which is to say, they are shooting themselves
in the foot.

Speaker 1 (02:02:21):
I knew that, I'd love MIT.

Speaker 24 (02:02:24):
Yeah, that's an MIT term. One of my professors coined
ballistic pedietary. But they're they're practitioners of it right now.
And the Democrats realize that this is an eighty twenty
issue across all political persuasions, and the eighty percent support
the release of the files, and the other twenty percent,
frankly are just sick of hearing about it and don't

(02:02:45):
have much of an opinion.

Speaker 17 (02:02:47):
What's so.

Speaker 24 (02:02:48):
The real why here, I think is twofold number one.
It's going to embarrass civilionaires, some very rich and powerful folks.

Speaker 17 (02:02:57):
Yeah, will be embarrassed.

Speaker 24 (02:02:59):
But I have said avoiding embarrassment. Avoiding embarrassment is not
a good enough reason to avoid justice. So there will
be things that come out in these files that are
embarrassing but not indictable. For instance, I'll say the birthday
card is one of those. Is an example of something
like that. There's nothing criminal in the birthday card that's

(02:03:22):
being floated. Some people think it's real, some people don't.
I think it's probably real, but it doesn't matter. It's
just embarrassing. There's no evidence of a crime in there.
So I think they're trying to avoid embarrassment for some
very rich and powerful people, but in the process they're
avoiding justice for the victims who spoke at our press conference.

(02:03:44):
We had that press conference that you mentioned.

Speaker 17 (02:03:46):
It's the biggest.

Speaker 24 (02:03:47):
Press conference on Capitol Hill that anybody can remember.

Speaker 9 (02:03:51):
I mean, we were.

Speaker 24 (02:03:52):
Able to control access within a perimeter of those bicycle
racks that are probably familiar to people who watched January sixth,
but beyond that, there were hundreds of people who showed
up for this for the press conference. So the other
reason that they're trying to avoid this now that the administration,

(02:04:13):
now that President Trump is running the administration and Pambondi
at the age is it implicates our own intelligence agency,
the CIA, has files. And that's not a conspiracy theory,
but that's something that the victims lawyers insinuated at our

(02:04:35):
press conference that we need to ask the CIA.

Speaker 6 (02:04:39):
For their files.

Speaker 24 (02:04:40):
So Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence asset. Maybe more than that,
he was probably getting paid by them, and that was
also indicated in his first plea deal when Acosta, who
was the prosecuting attorney.

Speaker 1 (02:04:56):
Who had to who resigned during the.

Speaker 24 (02:04:57):
First Trump administration over this, gave a sweetheart deal to
Epstein and mentioned in the court documents that he was
an intelligence government intelligence and that was above his pay grade.
So that's the other reason I think the American people
would be very upset to know that intelligence agencies, hours
and foreign intelligence agencies were working with a pedophile. And

(02:05:21):
by the way, before my press conference with the survivors
of his sex trafficking ring. I wondered if it was
too strong of a word to call Jeffrey Epstein a pedophile,
But the reality is he is a pedophile. These women
who testified, many of them were fourteen years old at
the time, and coerced into bringing other fourteen year olds

(02:05:44):
to him, And when they got to the age of
consent or near the age of consent, he was done
with them. He set them back out on the street
or farmed him out to associates of his which is
another thing we learned at the press conference. Now some
people are saying, why didn't the survivors, and they were

(02:06:04):
asked this at the press conference, why don't the survivors
provide names? Name the names right there? Yeah, Well, the
reality is if they named the names and the government
doesn't do any kind of criminal investigation, then they've just
made a claim that hearsay, And what will happen is
there will be defamation cases from rich and powerful men

(02:06:27):
who will bankrupt these women into homelessness. But if the
government doesn't pursue this, So their point, the victim's point is, look,
the government has the names, don't force us to basically
risk defamation lawsuits that would bankrupt It's not because they
would lose them, but just the litigation of them would

(02:06:48):
be so expensive. It's the government's responsibility to do this
and to bring these charges. And then the victim said
they're at the press conference that they would compile their
own list.

Speaker 1 (02:07:00):
Of names even if they didn't release them.

Speaker 24 (02:07:03):
At which point Marjorie Taylor Green stepped up and said
she's a colleague of mine from Georgia. She said, I'll
go to the floor of the House and read the
names right, and then you won't be subject to defamation.
And neither would Marjorie Taylor Green, because in the constitutionally
have something called the speech.

Speaker 1 (02:07:21):
Or debate.

Speaker 24 (02:07:24):
Which allows which is basically an exemption from defamation cases
or prosecution for members of the legislative branch, you know,
in their official duties. It was put into the Constitution
by the founding fathers the speech or debate immunity because
the King would prosecute members of Parliament civilly and criminally

(02:07:47):
for things they said on the floor of the Parliament.
So the founders knew it was important. Even if it
is somewhat it's not a populous notion to say that
members of Congress have even more free speech than the
general public. But the founding fathers thought that was important
ultimately to take that risk and give numbers of Congress

(02:08:08):
that extra protection so that they wouldn't be intimidated during
their speech or debate or pursuit oversight of the executive branch.

Speaker 1 (02:08:18):
Well, and you know the idea that.

Speaker 3 (02:08:21):
The Republicans, generally speaking, since most of the Democrats are
in favor of releasing these documents, would be taking efforts
to protect and not embarrass multi billionaires. I say, screw them.
I mean, I'm sorry you're the one that associated with
a guy. If you're a multi billionaire, you certainly can
issue statements that the press will report on that you
had nothing to do with it, You did not have

(02:08:41):
sex with a fourteen year old. I mean, I have
no concern over their reputations, but if they were involved
in molesting fourteen year olds, I'd like to see them
held accountable for it.

Speaker 24 (02:08:52):
Absolutely. And the thing is, some of Jeffreys Jeffrey Epstein's
associates were in fact anthropists who donated to scholarship funds
for instance. Right, But the American people can sort that out.
You know, there's either evidence or there's not evidence. Merely

(02:09:12):
association with Jeffrey Epstein does not imply guilt. It probably
does imply embarrassment. And there may be extramarital affairs that
are being hidden up, you know, hidden just just for
the sake of avoiding embarrassment. And by the way, I
have three billionaires running ads against me right now, yahuckey

(02:09:33):
two and a half million dollars. Now here's the kicker.
One of them, Paul Singer, is in Epstein's Black Book.
So that's kind of interesting. You've got one of these
billionaires who's trying to take me out in this election
cycle shows up in Epstein's Black Book. Now this is
not the list of perpetrators. This is merely a publicly

(02:09:55):
available book of phone numbers that Jeffrey Epstein kept. He
had personal se all phone numbers of these people. Doesn't
implicate them, but it does make you wonder why a
billionaire from West Palm Beach is interested in taking out
a congressman in Kentucky and he ends up in the
Epstein Black Book.

Speaker 1 (02:10:16):
All right, let's pause.

Speaker 3 (02:10:17):
Bring that congressman Congressman Massy back to answer the question,
was Trump an FBI informant, Johnson suggested that the other day,

Napolitano at the bottom of the hour. QC kinetics for
your pain, the joint pain, nagging, Yes it is if
you have it. You know what nagging is old injury,
maybe never healed right, Maybe it's our threat is pain.
You don't know why the pain is there, but guess

(02:10:37):
what it's there. You're working your life around it. It sucks.
You've been to the doctor, gotten steroid injections which only
cover up pain, They do not remove it, and then
they wear off. Surgery is an option, but it doesn't
have to be. QC kinetics natural biologic therapies from your
own body to use regenitive medicine, which is cellular treatments
which help your body heal and restore that damaged joint,

(02:10:58):
which a lot, and it's the paint. Thousands of folks
have experienced pain elimination from QC kinetics, So take them
up on the free offer. It's a free consultation. I
don't know if it'll work for you. Let the medical
professionals there let you know. Five one, three, eight, four, seven,

you to my friends and the Commonwealth Kentucky for bringing
Congress from Massy back in for bringing it back again
next year in spite of the ad campaign launched by
billionaires who apparently don't want their documents out Congress from Massy.
Trump an FBI agent, Speaker Johnson suggested that the other day.
So it seemed to me and I just read the

(02:12:30):
quote as opposed to hear him say it. But in
reading the quote, it almost seemed like it was a
passing comment. But what's your take on this.

Speaker 24 (02:12:39):
I watched the video and I listened to the audio.
He said he was an FBI informant. Now the interesting
thing here is Speaker Johnson is a lawyer. He understands
that's a term of art. An informant implies some kind
of ongoing investigation or coordination with the FBI, maybe a deal,

(02:12:59):
for instance, with the FBI. He later walked that back.
I think maybe he was just flustered. And Speaker Johnson's
getting flustered a lot recently because he is leading the
effort to stop my discharge petition from succeeding. He does
not want to have a vote on this, and so

(02:13:20):
he spread a lot of other misinformation. For instance, Speaker
Johnson said that my legislation would endanger the privacy of
the victims. But the problem with that is the victims
of Epstein support my legislation.

Speaker 1 (02:13:35):
Right, and there they were at the press conference.

Speaker 24 (02:13:39):
Yes, the other thing the Speaker has misspoke on, it's
the FBI informat thing and saying that my legislation might
endanger the victims. He said that my legislation was poorly drafted. Well,
what's interesting about that is I ran it by many lawyers,
the Legislative Council here in the House, and the parliamentarian

(02:14:01):
and ultimately, when the Speaker put a fake version of
my bill on the floor so that Republicans can go
back home and say they voted for something to release
the files, which is totally fake and toothless, Speaker Johnson
lifted three pages of my legislation and put it in
his legislation and just took the teeth out of it.
So he's been doing a lot of let's call it misspeaking,

(02:14:25):
which is interesting for a speaker to do that.

Speaker 3 (02:14:28):
Well, honestly, I'm still loved being puzzled by all this.
I mean, really, does this really just come down to
billionaires not wanting to be embarrassed because, like you said,
the victims were there, they've come out. They want someone
else to id these wealthy folks so they don't get
caught up in unbelievably and horrifically expensive litigation. Who among

(02:14:49):
us can afford one thousand dollars an hour for a
lawyer and they'd be subject to that kind of attack.
So I get their position along those lines, And I
guess I'm also kind of wondering behind the scenes, did
these billionaires enter into settlement agreements with maybe some of
the victims that they molested in order to avoid civil
or criminal liability. They wrote a big fat check and
promise a confidentiality agreement or got a confidentiality agreement in return.

(02:15:12):
Has that gone on behind the scenes, because I wonder
about the absence of criminal prosecutions, prosecutions going after these
folks from molesting young people. I mean, the absence of
those just seems to be crazy, given the number of
victims that we believe there are.

Speaker 1 (02:15:28):
Yeah, there are.

Speaker 24 (02:15:30):
Possibly at least a thousand victims, oh my, and certainly hundreds,
and there have been payoffs, you know, in civil cases.
But also I think privately, they've been payoffs. That's why
we need to follow the money. We need to have
all the bank records and see where that money went.

(02:15:51):
By the way, while we were talking about the Speaker,
I want to tell you about an interesting vote that's
going to happen today.

Speaker 17 (02:15:56):
I believe.

Speaker 25 (02:15:58):
Because of a small rebellion in the Rules Committee against
the Speaker, I co sponsored an amendment to the National
Defense Authorization Act that would repeal the.

Speaker 24 (02:16:10):
AUMF for the war in Iraq. Actually for both aumfs,
there's still authorization that used military force. Those are still
out there the executive branch where whether it's was Obama
or Biden or Trump one or Trump two or the
next president could use those aumfs to conduct war that

(02:16:32):
really was never envisioned when those aumfs were passed. So
there's a bipartisan effort. There's about a dozen of us
who've co sponsored this, and in the Rules Committee three
Republicans broke from Speaker Johnson's edicts and voted with Democrats
to allow my bipartisan resolution or amendment. I'm sorry to

(02:16:53):
get a vote.

Speaker 1 (02:16:54):
So we're going to have a.

Speaker 24 (02:16:55):
Vote on appealing the rack AUMF today. I thought the
judge might be interested that.

Speaker 3 (02:17:00):
Yeah, definitely, And maybe I'm gonna say this joking because
the topic of our conversation this morning is the unlawful
blowing up of a boat in international waters under the
claim that there were Narco terrorists and had drugs in there.
Senator Paul is in agreement with judgment Paulaitana, who's in
agreement with me. No, you can't do that. But maybe

(02:17:21):
they blew the boat up based upon the Iraq authorization
use of military force. Congressman Massie, they've been playing fast
and loose with that one for a number of years.

Speaker 24 (02:17:30):
Yeah, there's there. In fact, there are two aumfs that
are outstanding. The one that we're trying to repeal should
be the least controversial because there's another AUMs out there
that authorized the war on terrorism, and that one needs
to be now. Ostensibly it was it was to go
after the terrorists in Afghanistan, right, and possibly ones who

(02:17:53):
fled to Pakistan. But that's still in place and they
use it for everything in the world, including people who
you know, maybe they're bad guys, but they had nothing
to do with nine eleven. And so honestly, that one
needs to be repealed as well. The aumfs should be

(02:18:13):
limited in time, and limited in geography, and limited in
the enemies that you're going to attack. Otherwise they get
twisted where you know, we're literally using them as blanket
waivers to do anything the executive branch wants. By the way,
I'm glad I asked the other day, if we're going
to call it the Department of War instead of the

(02:18:35):
Department of Defense, can we now admit that what they
do are acts of war or at least acts of
the Department of War, and as such need to be
voted on and authorized by Congress.

Speaker 1 (02:18:47):
Amen.

Speaker 3 (02:18:48):
I was just going to make that point, Congress of Massy,
because I don't believe the authorization for US military force
is even constitutional. There has to be congressional action when
you're engaging in warfare. Cons of messy, great Sege the
judge this morning. Love having you on the programs. Or
keep up the great work and keep fighting that good
constitutional fight, my friend.

Speaker 6 (02:19:07):
Amen, thank you.

Speaker 24 (02:19:08):
Hi to the judge too, all.

Speaker 3 (02:19:10):
Right, and he's back at you on that, I guarantee you.
Thanks Congress, Massy, Judge and Politano.

It's at time, oa, Judge Eden of Holata on the
heels of Congressman Thomas Massey what I call the greatest
one two punch in radio our power.

Speaker 1 (02:21:01):
Welcome back, Judge the Polaitano.

Speaker 17 (02:21:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 26 (02:21:04):
I didn't know the Congressman Massey Bazanna would have come
on earlier, but I have to tell you Ingram is right.

Speaker 3 (02:21:10):
Yeah, we are already looking for the twenty twenty sixth season. Well,
maybe your field a little bit like a typical Bengals
fan at the outset of a season. We did win,
but it was only by the grace of the Cleveland
Browns sucking in that game that we've pulled off of victory.
So kind of You're in good company with the Cincinnati
listening audience, Judge of Politano, and you're in good company

(02:21:32):
on your topic today, taking the Constitution seriously, you have
a total of four people you, sir, Congressman Thomas Massey,
Senator at Ran Paul, and lowly fifty five KR see
morning show's host Brian Thomas, in agreement with you that
blowing up that boat in Venezuela or in the international

(02:21:52):
waters was not constitutional. We are a minority in a
chorus on this Judge of Polatano. But it couldn't be
clearer to you, Senator Rampaul or Congressman Massey. Where in
the hell did this authority come from?

Speaker 26 (02:22:05):
Well, the authority doesn't exist. It was unconstitutional, unlawful, criminal,
was an act of murder. But it's very sad that
the people who see it this way are in such
a small group. I mean, the dust up between Senator
Paul and Vice President Vance. Vance should be ashamed of himself.

(02:22:26):
I guess he forgot. I don't know if he's still.

Speaker 17 (02:22:27):
Licensed to practice law.

Speaker 26 (02:22:29):
But a lawyer who advocates in favor of or praises
murder sacrifices his license. I don't want to get too
personal with him. I don't know him personally.

Speaker 17 (02:22:38):
I know Senator.

Speaker 26 (02:22:39):
Rampaul well and obviously agree with him entirely on this.
If the President can kill whoever he wants because he
thinks they might commit a crime, then the Constitution is
meaningless and nothing will protect us from the president's wrath.
Who then can he not kill if in his own

(02:23:00):
mind he thinks they're going to commit a crime, And
the rationale for those thoughts on his part just don't
hold up. This boat was thirteen hundred miles from the US.
The trend they are Aragua group, according to the Justice Department,
engages in human smuggling, not in the distribution of drugs.

(02:23:23):
The boat couldn't possibly have made it to the US.
Why would they have eleven people on there. If they
were distributing drugs, they should have stopped the boat when
it got to American waters.

Speaker 17 (02:23:38):
There you go, let us search warrant and search them.

Speaker 26 (02:23:41):
If they found the drugs, take the drugs, and arrest
everybody and prosecute them. The act of prosecution might lead
you to their sources for the drugs. Instead, they destroyed
human beings and they destroyed the evidence.

Speaker 1 (02:23:55):
Well, you're the point I made the other day on this.

Speaker 3 (02:23:58):
They killed these people who you know, you have to
take the administration at its word that they are beyond
a reasonable doubt members of this gang has been designated
a terrorist organization, and that they were beyond a reasonable
doubt engaging your criminal activity that impacted us in some way,
shape or form. But even if you had all those
elements and you prove them in a court of law,
in the United States of America, which has a prohibition

(02:24:21):
on cruel and unusual punishment, drug dealers do not get
the death penalty.

Speaker 17 (02:24:26):
Correct. Correct.

Speaker 26 (02:24:28):
So the president's behavior unleased, no doubt by a terrible
decision on presidential immunity. I don't even know if that
decision covers this because it was a criminal act, and
there are exceptions in that decision for a criminal act.
But the president's behavior was just reprehensible, constitutionally ignorant, morally repugnant,

(02:24:55):
profoundly unlawful. But his Magapie people are sharing them on Oh,
we're tough guys, we got rid of the bad guys.
Wait wait till these killings come home, I know, wait
till they President Gavin Newsom decides that the demonstrators, pro
life demonstrator and as we're demonstrators at an abortion facility

(02:25:20):
are narco terrorists and they can be off. I mean,
where does this end?

Speaker 1 (02:25:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:25:25):
And I've always made this it's sort of it's it's
not really a joke, but it's a joke. What if
the you know, Canadian Prime minister gets a bug up
his button, decides that Donald Trump's a terrorism and designates
him as such and launches a drone strike on the
White House. It's the same argument can be made. There's
no declaration of war. War does not exist between Canada
the United States, much in the same way we launched
drone strikes on countries all around the world. We don't

(02:25:48):
have a declaration of war on their soil. It's just like, oh,
there's a bad guy right there, so we're just gonna
go ahead and unilaterally blow them up.

Speaker 17 (02:25:54):
I mean, you're right, you're one hundred percent correct.

Speaker 26 (02:25:59):
Why they are the Republicans except for Senator Paul and
congress On Massey silent on this. They are totally cowed
by the President, no matter how boorish his behavior is. Yesterday,
the Supreme Court in another crazy decision because it's in
the shadow docket, meaning there's no opinion given.

Speaker 27 (02:26:19):
It's just yes, no, stop go. This is a creation
of the Roberts Court. This never existed before the Chief
justiceship of John Roberts permitted the president to impound four
billion dollars in foreign aid.

Speaker 26 (02:26:34):
Okay, I don't believe in foreign aid at all. Right,
this was in the big beautiful bill that he just signed.
This was in the bill that he crafted and presented
to the House of Representatives. So by permitting him not
to spend the money that Congress has authorized and that
he requested, it is effectively giving him a line item veto,

(02:26:57):
doesn't John Roberts say that?

Speaker 3 (02:27:00):
Yeah, And the court's already rule. And whether you liked
that decision or not, back when Reagan was in office,
they did give him the line im veto and the
Court shot it down as being an improper delegation of
congressional authority.

Speaker 1 (02:27:10):
Correct.

Speaker 26 (02:27:11):
Correct, So these are dark days and getting darker. The
Israelis can attack an ally. At one minute, Trump says
I didn't know about it. The next minute he says,
they told us too late, and we warned Cutter. I
think Cutter should take the four hundred million dollar plane

(02:27:31):
back that would get Trump's attention.

Speaker 3 (02:27:36):
Well, one little bright spot, this will tickle you. You didn't
hear Congress from Susay, but he's teed up a bill
and it looks like it's going to be voted on today.

Speaker 1 (02:27:44):
They had enough votes to get it up for a vote.

Speaker 3 (02:27:47):
Repealing the Iraq authorization to use a military force that's
been around for how many years now, that they've operated
under for so long and used as a pretext for
a gazillion different things. So the other authorization, for you,
some military force in Afghanistan designating this war on terror
still there as well, but at least we may get
rid of one of the what I would point in

(02:28:09):
point out is unconstitutional in and of itself.

Speaker 26 (02:28:11):
The authors four of them, and the one he's targeted
is the one that they actually used the most.

Speaker 17 (02:28:17):
He's so good.

Speaker 26 (02:28:19):
Did he indicate if he has the requisite number of
signatures to force a vote on the release of the
Epstein files.

Speaker 3 (02:28:26):
It's coming, he seemed. I think he said he only
needs a couple more signatures, he'll have the necessary number
of votes to bring it up. And that's just a
matter of a short window of time. Apparently two members
are out or missing or died or otherwise not there.
They're going to be replaced in his right, right right two.

Speaker 26 (02:28:46):
Died, and the elections are this week, one of them
one yesterday.

Speaker 17 (02:28:49):
The other election is Thursday.

Speaker 26 (02:28:51):
When those two come to Congress, they've indicated they'll sign
the petition that'll give him the number he needs.

Speaker 3 (02:28:56):
That's where we are right now, according to him a
moment ago. So wow, keep your popcorn out, keep your.

Speaker 26 (02:29:02):
Okay, Brian, A pleasure to chat with you, even at
the times they're dark. I love all my time with you,
and I really love it when Ingram.

Speaker 13 (02:29:09):
Is right.

Speaker 1 (02:29:12):
Until next week?

Speaker 17 (02:29:13):
Does he listened to us?

Speaker 26 (02:29:14):
Or is he doing traffic in Houston while they're on
in Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (02:29:19):
You know the answer to that question. He's doing traffic
in news until next Wednesday. My dear friend, love having
you on the show. It's a real asset to my
listeners to hear from you, and I appreciate your willingness
to come on the show weekly and I'll look forward
to next week in another special conversation.

Speaker 17 (02:29:34):
All the best, Brian, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:29:35):
Love you my brother Coming up at eight forty one

Very Happy Wednesday to you listener Lunch Wednesday, and one
more invite to Anderson Pub and Grill each Mount Avenue.
Great place, awesome burgers, are really wonderful people there, and
it's been a while since we've been to Anderson Pub,
and I'm looking forward to being there at lunchtime today
and certainly looking forward to seeing the listeners that show up.
Always wonderful fellowship listener lunch this morning. Ken Cober FOP

(02:30:04):
president joined the program talk about the vote today and
will they be able to well influence crime with the
five point four million dollar approval which seems pretty darn
certain to go through Sinceay City Council today. Money for
a variety of different things, cameras, drones, of course, overtime,
which we talked about with Ken. They're exhausted. I mean

(02:30:26):
it's a million and a half in overtime, it's ten
million in overtime, the point being, and Ken made a
good point, it's overtime twenty three did he say twenty
three thousand hours of overtime in one month, Joe, wasn't
that the figure he quoted from month of August?

Speaker 1 (02:30:43):
Yeah, it was like that bad. They're exhausted.

Speaker 3 (02:30:48):
And of course some of the overtime hours and all acknowledge,
as he pointed out, is for them volunteering to do
you know, like football events high school that kind of stuff.
They get paid extra for that they're sort of hired
as a contractor. But the vast majority of these hours
are all officers being asked to engage in overtime because
there aren't enough police officers on the street. And apparently

(02:31:10):
since they've been funding overtime at twenty three thousand hours
a month regularly for a long period of time, taking
Canada's word, I don't know that this is a question
of money. Our officers need relief. So he didn't have
any objections to some of the proposals that they're going
to fund with the vote today. But in the final analysis,

(02:31:30):
you need a full contingent of Cincinnati police officers. So
check out that podcast at fifty five care sea dot com.
Jack out that are always brilliant how to save our cities.
He's not on board with my idea about just letting
New York City die so he and I kind of
came into a bit of a disagreement on that one.
He thinks it's worth saving, although Sowa, he's the Republican

(02:31:51):
that's running, doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell, and
that mom Dami Kami is way ahead. Which is why
I say, let them just wallow in their own epic stupidity.
Let New York City collapse under the weight of its
over over extended pension plans and social welfare network and
paying for illegal immigrants, literally everything that has to go

(02:32:12):
into their body, given that they need to survive housing, food, shelter, education, healthcare.
It can't last.

Speaker 24 (02:32:22):
It.

Speaker 3 (02:32:22):
We're all in a collective state of denial over the
reality of our spending. It's just gotten. We're toasted. New
York City's a great illustration of it is a microcosm
as big as it is with eight million people. It's
a microcosm of fiscal irresponsibility, which you can look on
a macro level to federal government bad.

Speaker 2 (02:32:41):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:32:42):
So that was with Jack, Adam Donovan and Neil preventing
government shutdowns. They got a great idea a couple of
congress people and proposed legislation to end the government shutdowns
because the automatic c are this legislation. If it's successful,
and we can only pray that it is, there won't
be a threat of a government shutdown because the legislation passed,
it will create a new mechanism. We don't fund the

(02:33:05):
government by the deadline. An automatic continuing resolution kicks in
keeping funding levels at the prior year's level. So instead
of an omnimus bill where the Democrats literally get everything
they want in spite of Republican objections, nobody wants a
government shut down. Oh my god, the workers aren't getting paid.
Where were you? Oh well, we're all going to die. No,
that won't happen anymore. It's a great idea. Get them

(02:33:29):
to do their damn job. Now, if you're a betting person,
do you think Congress is going to vote on a
bill that will hold them accountable and keep the government
open and remove the threat of a government shutdown that
the Democrats typically rely on because they have such great
success in the media and blaming it on Republicans who
are always the ones that get blamed for a government
shut down. Keep your fingers crossed, folks, and help work

(02:33:53):
on that Buckeye Blueprint dot Com is where you find
the work there that you can help out with with
Americans for prosperity. Of course, from Massy and Judge and Politano,
and I mentioned Ram Paul and I talked about him
earlier in the program on this idea of blowing up
the narco boat. And I know and I understand how
easy it is to say that was a good idea.
They're evil narco terrorists, they're flooding our country with fentanyl. Yeah,

(02:34:16):
they're bad guys, but you have to trust there's that
word again, you have to trust the government told you
the truth. There has been no trial of the dead guys.
All eleven of them are now pieces of fish food,
so they're not going to see their day in court.

(02:34:38):
And I'm a little like Senator ram Paul, a little
kind of a cynical over the notion that these folks
are actually headed to the United States, like Judge and
Polatana pointed out, they're like twenty seven hundred miles away.
Were they coming to the United States? As he pointed out,
and he was being interviewed by on the Will Kine
Show yesterday, you know they may be selling drugs to Trinidad.

Speaker 1 (02:34:59):
It was in that neighborhood where the boat got blown up.
I guess.

Speaker 3 (02:35:03):
Caine suggested, well, we're the main destination point for whatever
percentage drugs coming out of the Central and South America.
But Paul's like, you don't think anybody in the Caribbean
is using drugs? What are they selling drugs to Trinidad?
And how are police are we now the police for Trinidad.
Are we going to be blowing up every boat? It's insane.
You can't blow up any ship that you think has
drugs on it. And that goes to a point that
he was making the Caine earlier, which is every single

(02:35:26):
day of our lives off the coast of Miami, Florida,
they're getting boats, they're pulling boats over, otherwise, boarding boats
and looking for drugs. If there are drugs there, they
prosecute the guys on the boat. If there aren't drugs there,
they get to go on their merry way. But it's
in our waters. We have control over those. We are

(02:35:48):
allowed to patrol them with a coast guard. We can
enforce American laws in American waters. And when you're forcing
American laws at American waters, you find a narco terrorist
with a boatload of drugs, you arrest them, and they
aren't subject to the death penalty, so I understand how
expedient it is to just blow them up. But then again,

(02:36:12):
I'm a guy that doesn't believe in the death penalty
even when you've gone through the due process component here
in the United States. And why is that? Because the
state can kill you. And I'm old enough to know,
and I've seen it multiple times in my lifetime where
someone who's been on death row is facing death from
the state. Thanks to the work of some diligent lawyers

(02:36:35):
out there, they find exculpatory evidence. They find out that,
oh no, we have new DNA technology, and in fact,
that wasn't his DNA at the crime seeming it was
someone else. Someone else ultimately confesses.

Speaker 1 (02:36:45):
To the crime.

Speaker 3 (02:36:48):
Witnesses recan't say they were lying. But you know, at
least that death row inmate had the opportunity to raise
these challenges and contest the death penalty finding and argue
for his or her innocence. I guess we can't ask
the eleven guys in the boat about that. A fifty
