Speaker 1 (00:00):
Talk station. Potato five fifty five krs DE talk station
are very happy Friday to you. I've been excited about
this all week. I found out from this lovely lady
in my studio right now that she was gonna be
at my program, and it was because she posted it
on Facebook and you know her. And if you don't,
you need to know her. If you're on face, well,
(00:22):
go to signal ninety nine. Just search for signal ninety
nine and you will be welcome to the hot off
the press inside information like, for example, what goes on
an executive session of Cincinnti City Council. Since they don't
take notes and they won't let the public in there.
You know what, there are whistleblowers and leakers and there
are connected people behind the scenes who will get this
information out into the world. And that's how we find
(00:44):
out that we may be entering into a subtlement agreement
with the Hinton family. Welcome to the fifty five Cars
Morning Show Studio Signal ninety nine. It is such a
distinct pleasure. I've been excited about this since I found
out you were coming on.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I've been excited to surprise you, Brian that you've known
me for years.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I know, and see this is so a week. I
have known her for a long long time. I just
didn't realize that she was the we'll say, the voice
behind Signal ninety nine. It is your post, it is
your page. But you're a vehicle to get those whistleblowers
or those connected people with the information that we're all
(01:19):
clamoring for. They bring it to you, and you post
that you have credibility because what you post usually comes
armed with the documents and information that supports the specific
statements that you're making. So what can city Manager Cheryl
Long do but try to argue with you, but she
doesn't have anything to refute what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, the best thing is is yesterday when I released
the screenshot of her denying all of it and basically
Colin ken.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Kober a liar.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, I released that and I said, you know, for
the city managers, for the people that work in city Hall,
for the council members, you know that this is not true.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You know that she's at actually.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Lying in this statement. Step into the light, get out
of the shadows and step into the light and call
it out.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Well, and if you are in any way shape or
from confused about this subject matter. I went over earlier
this morning. Kenkober, FOP president, was on the program, and
I specifically gave him credit because he made the announcement
as by virtue of position as the FOP president, talking
about the behind the scenes apparent negotiation between city manager
(02:28):
Cheryl Long and the Hinton family. Specifically, for those who
don't remember about Hinton, it was that Ryan Hinton, the
eighteen year old who was shot and killed by a
Cincinnati police officer. It happened last May, and it was justified.
Ask Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillage, you know you are
allowed to use deadly force when someone turns and points
(02:49):
a firearm at you. So he was put in the clear,
this officer was. There has been no lawsuit file, like
a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the late Ryan Hinton,
and yet here's this announcement from Ken Kober that whoa
lo and behold. Apparently behind the scenes, Cheryl Long is
sitting down with the hidden family and talking about settling
this underlying shooting incident. I'm thinking about it, so as
(03:09):
is everyone. Council members apparently didn't know about this. You're
the one that gave Ken Kober the information that this
was happening.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I actually call Ken Kober quite a bit to dispel
rumors and speculation, and I'll say, hey, is this true?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And he said, I have not heard this.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So Ken breaks this and the response you refer to
because I want to quote it because it is so
obvious that something's going on behind the scenes in spite
of what Cheryl Long is trying to say. I mean,
she can't outrighte live, but she does her best to
do it. Quote the city has not reached a subtlement agreement,
note the emphasis. And I vehemently reject the notion that
(03:51):
any discussions are being rushed, are happening in secret, or
are designed to keep information from city council. Now, if
this was not happening, if there was not an actual
settlement discussion, then she would have said the city is
not discussing settlement with the Hinton family. That is clearly
(04:15):
not what she said. So we know this is going on.
And then lo and behold, you find out once the
local news reaches out and speaks with Councilman Seth Walsh
or who is the other counselman that's with Jeff Cameroning.
Both of them expressed like outrage at this. They're on
the side of the officer. They're on the side of justice.
(04:36):
They do not want to settle this. They're council members.
How on the hell can Cheryl Long sit down with
anyone and start talking about settlement of a lawsuit that
hasn't even been filed. Council has the power of the purse,
don't they signal ninety nine?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well yes, And here's how I can tell you that
she actually did lie in her statement because she knew
there was a very good chance that Council on Monday
was going to vote down this settlement agreement.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
With the Hidden family.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So she decided and she said, I'm just going to
pass it myself. I'm just gonna pass it myself. I'm
just gonna take care of it myself. Well see, you
got to remember, Brian, you've got people at work behind
the scenes. Irish Rowley was there in the room with
the manager, Cheryl Long, and the mayor when Ryan Hinton's
(05:31):
father viewed the bw C footage of his son getting
shot by CPD and a righteous shoot, he actually took
a swing at Chief DG and then said the words
you took one of mine, I'm going to take one
of yours.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And then the next day goes and runs over sheriffs
deputy and kills him.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
No that no, yeah, yeah, Well here's here's the problem.
The mayor and Cheryl Long and Irish Rolly thought he
would be very bad optics to arrest him for making
terroristic threats towards a police officer and for taking a
swing at Chief Thiji. So we're it'll be a bad
look for the city. Well, let me tell you what, Brian,
(06:12):
Had they done the right.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Thing, Oh yeah, Larry.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Larry Henderson, my friend would be.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
A live right shol Yeah, and you know, just and
it was the same day, by the way, that was
the same Yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I don't remember what I did yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, the day.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Before was when his son was killed. And the very
next day. And you know, the mayor and Iris Rolly
is good friends with the Hinton family.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So she was actually at the.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Scene where that pos killed my friend interfering with witnesses.
She was actually put in the back of a police
cruiser for CPD for interfering with witnesses. She was telling
witnesses at the scene don't talk to the CPD. Don't
give them a statement. They're trying to hang a brother.
Don't don't operate. This is a homicide investigation, and you're
(07:02):
tampering with witnesses.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
This is irish, really, at the scene of the murder
of the sheriff's deputy.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, so she was placed in a cruiser and then
the officer was told to let her go.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Now that BWC footage and the cruiser footage that will
all be coming out. Oh, it's locked.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
In a vault right now because the judge doesn't want
it to taint the trial. Okay, give me a break.
It's not going to taint the trial. But let me
tell you what. That footage is going to come out,
and you're going to see and hear iris Rollie act
in a fool, interfering in a homicide investigation. And she
should have been charged. Again, she should have been charged.
(07:45):
These are felonies interfering, tampering with witnesses, and a homicide investigation.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's a felony. Okay. Obstructing a police officer.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Hmm, Well you've got video footage of her obstructing police officers.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
At all, all the time. Yeah, so that's all going
to be coming out. She can't hide from that.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
You know. And I hate to pivot over to the
whole the situation involving the ice officer shooting in Minneapolis.
But that's interfer that can That is what happens if
you interfere with the police officer. If you do that,
it's a crime to do so. You're supposed to listen
to the police officer. Has they have the right to
do that. They have the right to stop. They have
the right to go about doing their business and enforcing
the law, which is what the federal officers are doing
(08:25):
iris rawly by interfering with the officers demonstrably doing so,
it's on video footage and not suffering any accountability is
the kind of thing that encourages others to do the
same damn thing.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It enables criminal behavior absolutely. And because we have weak
judges in Hamilton County who refuse to honor their oath
or issue one from twenty twenty two on setting the
standards of bail and whatnot, we don't have any accountability
for the criminals. They revolve in and out of the
courthouse like it's no big deal.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And maybe a prosecutor who's not willing to even take
on a case like that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, and then there's that. So yeah, we have a
whole menagerie of loveliness in city, in the city and
in the county. And I do want to speak to
the ice thing and I want to say this.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Well, tell you what wor at break time, we'll just
bring it back up and let you finish the whole
thing that we don't have to cut you off midst
and said, okay, perfect, more a full hour's worth with
signal ninety nine. Follower on Facebook could be glad you
did a fifteen right now if you have Ker City
Talk Stations. In nineteen fifty five Ker City Talk Station
Brian Thomas with signal ninety nine, it's a pleasure to
(09:31):
have her in studio on the cutting edge of all
the shenanigans going on, most notably in the area of
law enforcement. She has spent her life in and around
law enforcement. Got all these wonderful connections what's going on
not just within the Cincinni Police Department, but also other
city organizations and of course the inside scoop what's going
on in city Hall. And we were talking about this
whole idea that we the city or specifically the city
(09:53):
managers sitting down with the Hinton family talking about writing
them at check because their son got killed by a
police officer, just defiable shooting, and they called a homicide.
You mentioned this just a moment ago signal ninety nine.
They called a homicide. But that's what the corner calls
any not murder, but anyone dying with a firearm. But
that does not mean it's criminal, correct, Like that would
(10:15):
be murder or first degree murder or second degree or manslaughter,
it would come with a criminal charge. It's just somebody died.
Point that's really all.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
That right at the hands of another human, at the
hands of another human, it doesn't And for guilt of
any kind or innocence, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
And of course, going back to the justification for use
of deadly force, eminent apprehension, agree was bodily harm if
it's reasonable and also a reasonable belief that your life
is in peril. And I had mentioned that in the
context of iris Roli, who parenthetically is not an employee
of the city, who is basically a subcontractors, a consultant,
a consultant at a six hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract.
(10:53):
She just signed. I know she employs her son to
do some of this work on Government Square or whatever
that's going to accomplish. I don't know, but she is
anti police demonstrably. So we talked about all the time
she's interfered with police officers police doing their business. You
mentioned a new one and just going back to repeat
a little bit about what you have said. The whole
idea when Rodney Hinton Junior ran over the sheriff's deputy,
(11:14):
killing Larry Henderson because his son was involved in this
criminal activity and ended up dying, that Iris Rolly was
there on the scene, and that she was trying to
interfere with the police doing that investigation and ended up
in the back of a police car. You say that
video footage is coming out, got our popcorn out, We're
waiting for it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It's emmen.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Add that to the other footage that we already have
of Iris Rolly interfering with police during their business, and
I mentioned it reminded me of Minneapolis. You know, you
start messing around police officers, you put yourself in a
situation something bad may happen. But people of power and prominence,
in regardless of what you might think of Iris Rollie.
She is any position of power and influence over a
(11:53):
pretty darn large chunk of residents in the city, and
obviously has the ear not just of show along the
city manager, but I have to have pearl ball the ear.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
She runs them.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Oh, Iris Rolly runs the city, Make no mistake about it.
Iris Rowley got the mayor reelected, make no mistake about that.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well, and that I think I have heard from multiple
independent sources that.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
She did the work. She did.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
She got people out there to register, to register people
to vote, They handed out literature, they were at every
polling station. She did the work to get him reelected,
and lazy Conservatives and Democrats stayed home and didn't vote.
And now they want to complain, but they didn't vote.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Joe Strecker color coded map of the election results. I
keep it handy right here every day for the morning show.
You're right, one out of four eligible voter showed up.
At the point. Thing that because of her power and
her prominence, she's in position to suggest that that's the
right thing to do. The more people should go out
there and do what she's doing, which is interfering with
law enforcement doing their job. Well, that's how people end
(12:56):
up dying, like in Minnesota. You were getting ready to
make about that when went to break and it took
me this long.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You have every right to protest anything you want to,
this is America.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But you do it the right way.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You stand on the sidewalk, you hold your signs, you
you say your chance. You do not interfere with federal
agents or police officers. You do not block the street,
you do not walk on the freeway. All of these
things are illegal. And when you block a street to
keep an ice agent from egress or ingress, that is
(13:34):
against the law. And when you point your car at
them and try to hit them, and she actually did.
The officer did bounce off of the corner of her
car as he was shooting her. He had to jump
out of the way. Yeah, so the FBI has it now,
which is great. He's probably going to be exonerated. But
(13:57):
you don't get to grab a federal agent. You don't
get to attack police officers or federal agents. You're going
to get shot. And there's gonna be a lot more
of it because these people have been enabled to break
the law. Last night Fountain Square, they took.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
To the streets.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I had I could find no record at all of
them pulling a permit to be in the street, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And that takes us back to and this is another thing.
I'm glad you can unpackage this force because what happened
last night with these protests blocking the street and didn't
result in any rest the best of my knowledge, we
just paid eight point one million dollars to settle the
arrest of folks for curfew violations during.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The Okay, but let's be clear, these aren't these weren't
people arrested for curfew violations, No, no, no, These were violent protesters,
not peaceful protesters.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
If they were violent, though, why weren't they charged with
acts of violence which would have not resulted in a setting.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
They were told not to.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That's the point I wanted you to package.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, do you remember the CPD officer that got shot
in the helmet?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah? During that?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
What about that?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I mean, they threw frozen bottles of water. This was
not Black Lives Matter and a peaceful protest. This was
a lot of ANTIFA types, chaos anarchists pretending to be
Black Lives Matter infiltrating the Black Lives Matter movement.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well, they took their black Lives Matter hat off, put
it in the back of their trunk, and they got
their protest iceed hat out and put it on and
shut up and showed up last night exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And you know what a lot of these anarchists are.
These are paid actors. Yeah, they're busted in from all
over the country. They come and they do these protests.
They get paid for it. I mean, this has all
been proven.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Going back to your point though, now I know there
was a police officer on the street the night that
last night, maybe in the night for the prior one
which resulted in this big settlement payment. Knowing wait a second,
I can charge that there was appropriate charges here that
I can waiting against them. I could give them a citation,
as opposed to saying you got a curfew violation, you
block the street, you do not have a permit, you
threw a bottle of frozen water, you took a shot
(16:07):
at a cop. Citation, citation, citation.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, they do that, that's what the city wants.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But right you said the city doesn't want that done. Yep,
who issues that directive and does the acting whatever police
chief is in sitting in that role, does that person
have to listen to say, maybe the idle suggestions of
Irish ROLLI or city manager long or even have to
have parvo.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Well, i'm gonna tell you years ago the mayor walked
into Chief Striker's office and said, your department's going to
do this, this, and this. And Chief Striker said, well,
come back when you graduate from the police academy. Until then,
get the f out of my office. He actually said that.
But under this charter, now, under this charter agreement, the
(16:49):
chief of police has no control over their own department.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is that the result of the settlement agreement from the
post riots and the.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yes, the collaborative, collaborative. Yes, this is Irish Rolly all
day long.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
They have no actual control over their own departments anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
So we're back to the Chief Striker observing the obvious,
which is people who have no training in law enforcement,
who were not having gone through the process and have
no real connection with how law enforcement works, or maybe
even the underlying laws that are being enforced, have control
over the police department.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Correct, Okay, it's I know, it's common sense. It's hard.
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, just further illustrating how much power some of this.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Then let's talk. Can we talk about share along.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Let's talk about Scherl long after the break deal. It's
A twenty seven. We'll continue with signal ninety nine. I'm
thoroughly enjoying this. You have no idea A twenty seven
right now, but you have kerzy De Talks Days. Today's Greenland.
Trump wants Greenland. It's so strategic fraud in Minnesota. This
is fraud. Is breathtaking.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Venezuela and oil.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Take.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Here's some more ships were seas chick in for the
very latest fifty five.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It's Take thirty one, fifty five ker City Talk Station.
I hate the subject matter, but I love exposing it
and talking about it in studio Signal ninety nine. And
we're obviously talking about all the shenanigans and troubles and
well basically a lot of withholding of information about what's
going on that's important of the city. Sinceinn behind the scenes,
this whole idea of the Hint and family settlement exclusively
(18:25):
run behind the scenes by the city manager and maybe
Iris Rolly's input. We talked a lot about iris role
in her interference with the police work and the impact
she is capable of having on the city. And so
let's move aside from that, you said Signal ninety nine,
who's in studio follower on Facebook, that you wanted to
talk a little bit more about the city manager as
we move into this segment.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I want to talk a little bit about her. She
was a secretary for the city manager in North College
Hill and when that city manager abruptly retired, she wanted
a shot to try to step up and feel their place.
She was not qualified, but they made her the interim
(19:08):
city manager and then made a move to make her
actually the city manager without the love of Cancel endorsing that.
So that created some problems. And so while in her
role as the city manager for North College Hill there
were issues there as well. But she's good friends with
Irish Rowley. So she was hand picked to be the
(19:32):
city manager for Cincinnati, completely unqualified, does not have the
experience for North College Hill, let alone a city the
size of Cincinnati. And we have seen over and over
Michael Washington, chief of the Cincinnati Fire Department, fired him.
That's going to be millions of dollars, Chief Thigi, Yeah,
(19:57):
we were going to get to that one, Yeah, Chief Thigi.
Here's the thing, Chief Fiji is a legacy.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
In law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh yeah, father brothers, you know, big law enforcement, firefighter,
first responder family.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
She had all the degrees.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
She may not have done as much time on the
street as someone who typically would move up through the ranks,
but she moved up through the ranks. She doesn't want
the settlement. She wants the legacy of being the first
female chief of the Cincinnati Police Department, the second oldest
(20:41):
police department in the country. Yeah, she wants She wants
her job back. She wants to be allowed to do
her job unhindered, without people like the mayor and the
city manager in Iris Rollie telling her what she should
do with her cops and how she should run them.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Well, apparently, based what you told us in the last segment,
she's been stripped of that ability anyway, And basically she
has the settlement agreement.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
She has And nobody was more critical of Chief Thigi
than Signal ninety nine was. We were very critical of her, Yeah,
but we knew why she was doing the things she
was doing. We were calling her out for him as
a person. Teresa Thiji is a great person, and I
believe she could be a great police chief if they
(21:28):
would just leave her alone.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Leave her alone. But you know, going back to why
she's on paid administrative leave in your most recent post
signal ninety nine, they gave her apparently in an executive session,
so we don't know necessarily, but you have a little
bird apparently was in the executive session saying that Frost
Brown Todd, who did an investigation to find out if
there was any reason to justify retroactively putting her on
(21:50):
paid administrative leave, they couldn't find anything. Sure, you had
some officers that were a little upset. You mentioned that
you had some criticisms of her, But has there ever
been a police chief for them that hasn't faced criticism
from right rank and file or he comes on the program.
He had some criticism with DG. He thinks maybe she
shouldn't have gotten job in the first place. It doesn't matter,
(22:11):
but she didn't do anything that justified her termination.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
No, especially when you know, back in July, we blew
her up, we blew up the mayor over what they
call the brawl. It wasn't a brawl. It was an
attack beat down. Yeah, it was an attack. It was
a mob attack. But anyway, it wasn't mutual combat. Really
until you know, the guy got tired of being punched
in the back of the head, so.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Or Holly stopped the punch when she with her face.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So after that, you know, we were very critical of it,
the mayor, and we did a post that said, you
should resign in a blaze of glory, say this is
why my cops aren't allowed to do their jobs.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Going back to the earlier point, the chief does not
control the police. It's apparently or have to have parwell
or city manager luck correct.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So you know, we said this in a post, and
two days later, because I know the mayor watches Signal
ninety nine like a hawk. They all do, two days
later the mayor came on and touted how great she was.
He had every faith in her. She was doing a
great job. Oh y, he has said this over and
over and over. Well, in that post two days previous,
I had said, they're going to sacrifice you when it
(23:26):
gets closer to the election, They're going to sacrifice you
like a pawn in hopes of his reelection bid. And
you know what, that's exactly what they did. And that
is not okay, No, it is not okay.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Well, in the whole the compounding insanity about all this
is they put her down, they let they put her on, Minister.
They didn't say why they didn't, Well, you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Know why they did it, other than sacrifice in her
as a pawn. They did it because of the chiefs
meeting that she had every right to attend in Hamilton
County and try to collaborate with other chiefs on how
to fix the violent crime in Hammonda County, how to
fix attack these judges and make them start doing their jobs,
(24:13):
you know, arrests, how to get the sheriff to open
up those two floors in the jail. So the Hamilda
County chiefs all met, collaborated and shared ideas to try
to combat violent crime in Hammonda County. And she was
a part of that, and that pissed them.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Off because they getting rid of crime in Hamilton County
and helping these citizens of Hamilton County live better, happier,
safer lives undermines the platform of the Provole administration.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Apparently it's all by design, Brian, it's all by design.
Back when provol was Clerk of Courts, he had a
meeting with the Democratic judges and he said he was
just a clerk. He said you will do the low bail,
no jail, soft on crime in sentencing or or I'm
going to have you primaried. He actually said that, and
(25:05):
one dump Democratic Judge Dante Johnson stood up and said,
then primary me. You're not going to tell me what
to do in my courtroom, and he walked out and left.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
But that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Going back to the chief striker like moment. Yeah, earlier, Yeah,
my dad wouldn't have said I got two words for
a happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, yeah, I love those words.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I know I do too. Hold on, it's a thirty eight.
We're going to continue with signal ninety nine and studio
got some more things to talk about, like lateral hires
the Sheriff's department apparently issues as well westside or west
end cameras and Ohio state assistance from Ohio State Highway
Patrol with policing in the area. We'll see we can't
stuff all that in. Signal ninety nine returns after these
(25:46):
brief words.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Hey folks, this is Gary Sullivan from at Home with
Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Hope you get forty two if you have carcity Talk
Station Bryan Thomas wishing You're on a very happy Friday
and thoroughly enjoyed the information that Signaled ninety nine has
been sharing with us this morning about all these very
controversial issues whirling around the city of Cincinnati, the mayor,
the city manager, and a lot has to do with
Iris Roli, apparently, as she is well pointing out every day,
as she does on her site, which is Signal ninety
(26:11):
nine on Facebook, connected with all the insiders, and of
course happy to telegraph that and allow us the information
because apparently the city of Cincinnati and the council members
and the mayor and the others don't want us to
know about the shenanigans going on. So what we got
here after the brawl the beat down last year, we
talked about what happened with Police Chief Thiji, but we
(26:32):
also had this reaction is like Mayor Purval finally woke
up and said, oh, we've got to do something about
the crime problem, because we ever do screaming about crime,
and he kept denying it. Oh, there's no crime problem
with the City of Cincinnati. Something sort of the narrative
out of the Mayor's office, and then that happened. Holly
get to punch in the face. It's all on video.
It looks terrible, the optics sory. It made national and
global news. His response was it five point four million
(26:55):
dollars we're going to throw at public safety and an
allocation for some cameras over in the West which had
been promised now for like a couple of years, never
been done and up in only a moment in time
ago where cameras put in. We saw another eleven year
old girl get shot real close to the area where
an eleven year old got shot a couple of years earlier.
No love for the West End, but we got offered
all of this assistance from the state of Ohio, and
(27:17):
they also promised to do lateral hires. And the interesting
fact that I learned earlier in the week from Kencoverer
FLb president with that there are thirty open lateral higher spots,
but only seven people applied.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
We would you apply you if you knew you couldn't
do your job. You were handcuffed, you were sheep. Dogs
need to be free. They know what they're allowed to
do and what they're not allowed to do. This is
why they're trained and certified through the Commission of OPATA.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
They know the law.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
When you're not allowed to only and for certain laws
in a certain way, why would you want to work there?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah, and you don't get any respect or love from
the people who were in charge of how you do
your job every day.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Great, same thing with the Sheriff's office. Why would you
want to work for an agency that doesn't support the
officers from the top down.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
But you say what you want about governor to Wine,
he offered a huge array of assistance. And now we
got a mayor who wants to raise income taxes in
order to improve public safety. The governor is offering all
kinds of public safety, maybe improving services free for free. Yes,
(28:32):
and yet the mayor hasn't accepted it. Where are we
with that? He's got two days and then four days
a month. When was the last thing?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, and then they weren't going to renew it, and
then I you know, we blew that up on signal
ninety nine. And then the very next day the mayor
said he released a statement that you know he's entering into,
you know, another agreement, renewing an agreement with the governor. Well,
here's the thing. The agreement is only what Irish really says.
Aerial support from the helicopters. OSP is only to do
(29:02):
traffic enforcement, not enforced laws. You know, she's tied their
hands and intelligence. So what about the state agents for parole,
for probation, for alcohol, tobacco. All of these things are free.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
From the state.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And I got to tell you, I'm a little honked
off at the governor because he doesn't need the city's
permission to come down here.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
He's he's the damn governor.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
He can send whoever he wants whenever he wants to
combat violent crime. He could crush the crime in Cincinnati.
He could pull enough resources to absolutely swat the hell
out of it.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
It would cost us any money. We wouldn't have to
raise income tax either.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
We would not. We would not.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And you know what the one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars earmarked for those cameras at the park. Yeah, you
know they three c DC is in bed with the
mayor and they want the control of all the cameras.
Everybody knows right now that flock cameras are phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
The license plate reader cameras.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yes, absolutely so you know shot spotter, it's phenomenal. So
if you have these tools in these resources to combat
violent crime. What's happening is you see communities that are
getting flock. They're not getting cars stolen from there anymore
because the word gets out and they're like, if I
steal this car here and they have flock, they're going
(30:34):
to track me everywhere where there's a FLOCK, So I'm
going to go somewhere else and steal this car.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
And that technology is out there and it's available to us.
Do we own it already or do we have it?
Is it a difficult thing to like, did we really
need an extra one hundred and fifty grand specifically allocated
for the cameras on the West End or did you
think they had that within their budget already? They could
have done it a year or two ago.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Flock would have absolutely worked with them to get things
going and in place.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And here's the beautiful thing. People shoot out surveillance cameras
in the city.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
They damage them, they throw rocks. Flock repairs them themselves.
Flock does all the maintenance on their cameras. So you
have a camera go down, Flock sends somebody out to
take care of it.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Right now, Well, apparently you can't get a camera installed
unless you have your own bucket truck in this in
this town, and there is a bucket truck, but you
have to make arrangements to get the bucket truck to
put the camera up. It also requires working with apparently,
is it Duke or I believe that Duke has It's
Duke who owns the polls, the utility polls upon which
(31:34):
the cameras were placed. One of the excuses from the
mayor's office that I read the other day, I think
was the enquire doesn't matter, but that we need approval
or we need the processing to come from Duke. When
Duke was asked by local news, we haven't had any
request to instell West End cameras.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Let's just chase another lie.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
We're all about transparency and accountability and oh.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Yeah, and that's why they're having that executive this discussion
on Monday behind closed doors about the settlement that we
just found out.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
About it and that's a little illegal.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Ran Oh, they could do the personnel thing with Fiji
in executive session, but they can't do this.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Does that suggest perhaps federal authorities should come in and investigate?
All right, let's end on that note. We'll bring it
right back, signal ninety nine. One more in studio, take
forty eight right now. If you have KRCD talk station
Ice officers were out in an enforcement action. An agent
recklessly karc the talk station. Ah, music to my ears
(32:34):
literally figuratively, it is obviously Friday one more with signal
ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
But first I just want to.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Ask Friday gotta listen to the first version of the
song signal Yes. What a wonderful world and what a
wonderful interview. Sign ninety nine you found on a faceboo
inside information. She's got it, she's got the goods to
back it up. And I've been This is my twentieth
year in radio, and Joe just let me know that

of all of the guests that I have had all
the program over twenty years, and that includes senators and
you know, famous authors and renowned doctors, and I mean,
I could go on and on and on, I've been
blessed as I can be as a human being for
the folks that I've been able to talk to. This
conversation has neted Joe Strecker more texts than any other
(33:29):
interview that I have done. He said, he's just getting
flooded over there with people chiming in. You got how
many eleven so far this morning? Just here since you've

I just feel so blessed that you would do that,
and I am You're the first. This is great. It's

sunlight of disinfectant on it, maybe something will change for
the better. And that's why I applaud you and everything
(34:12):
that you're willing to do, including suffering the slings and
arrows that you get being an online presidents of online
presence of such prominence.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Your health, yeah, my health a lot well, And I

because she has got some issues going on in her world.
There is a gives Send Go page. Just look for
Signal ninety nine on give Send Go, and you've got
halfway to your goal. The goal that the person that

Crammerdy and Walsh and Jeffries all came out and said
they were against the settlement offer for the Hintons and
they're coming out. They're coming out of the shadows and
end of the light. So I want to commend them
for doing that because they might be ostracized for doing
(35:25):
that as well.

phone call from him after the show. We will They're
going to be having that executive session on Monday. The
council member are on this hint and settlement, which sounds
like most of them didn't even know what was going
on until our friend in this studio right now, Signal
ninety nine brought it to the attention of FOP President
Can Kober, who announced it to the world. And that's
(36:13):
how we find out. Cheryl long for varication, just a
little bit check it all out, you think if you're
just tuning in, this is an hour of power worth
listening to. And hello to the others in local media
who might have been tuning in to listener here what
Signal ninety nine has to say, go ahead print it,

Speaker 3 (36:48):
All the time? Okay, I have things to say.

about something, Jeff, Joe's got my number.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Joe's got the number. We will be hearing more encounterary
your twenty twenty six from Signal ninety nine. But a
great way to start the year off. Thanks again for
what you do and for spending the hour with my
listeners and me
Talk station. Potato five fifty five krs DE talk station
are very happy Friday to you. I've been excited about
this all week. I found out from this lovely lady
in my studio right now that she was gonna be
at my program, and it was because she posted it
on Facebook and you know her. And if you don't,
you need to know her. If you're on face, well,
(00:22):
go to signal ninety nine. Just search for signal ninety
nine and you will be welcome to the hot off
the press inside information like, for example, what goes on
an executive session of Cincinnti City Council. Since they don't
take notes and they won't let the public in there.
You know what, there are whistleblowers and leakers and there
are connected people behind the scenes who will get this
information out into the world. And that's how we find
(00:44):
out that we may be entering into a subtlement agreement
with the Hinton family. Welcome to the fifty five Cars
Morning Show Studio Signal ninety nine. It is such a
distinct pleasure. I've been excited about this since I found
out you were coming on.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I've been excited to surprise you, Brian that you've known
me for years.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I know, and see this is so a week. I
have known her for a long long time. I just
didn't realize that she was the we'll say, the voice
behind Signal ninety nine. It is your post, it is
your page. But you're a vehicle to get those whistleblowers
or those connected people with the information that we're all
(01:19):
clamoring for. They bring it to you, and you post
that you have credibility because what you post usually comes
armed with the documents and information that supports the specific
statements that you're making. So what can city Manager Cheryl
Long do but try to argue with you, but she
doesn't have anything to refute what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, the best thing is is yesterday when I released
the screenshot of her denying all of it and basically
Colin ken.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Kober a liar.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, I released that and I said, you know, for
the city managers, for the people that work in city Hall,
for the council members, you know that this is not true.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You know that she's at actually.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Lying in this statement. Step into the light, get out
of the shadows and step into the light and call
it out.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Well, and if you are in any way shape or
from confused about this subject matter. I went over earlier
this morning. Kenkober, FOP president, was on the program, and
I specifically gave him credit because he made the announcement
as by virtue of position as the FOP president, talking
about the behind the scenes apparent negotiation between city manager
(02:28):
Cheryl Long and the Hinton family. Specifically, for those who
don't remember about Hinton, it was that Ryan Hinton, the
eighteen year old who was shot and killed by a
Cincinnati police officer. It happened last May, and it was justified.
Ask Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillage, you know you are
allowed to use deadly force when someone turns and points
(02:49):
a firearm at you. So he was put in the clear,
this officer was. There has been no lawsuit file, like
a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the late Ryan Hinton,
and yet here's this announcement from Ken Kober that whoa
lo and behold. Apparently behind the scenes, Cheryl Long is
sitting down with the hidden family and talking about settling
this underlying shooting incident. I'm thinking about it, so as
(03:09):
is everyone. Council members apparently didn't know about this. You're
the one that gave Ken Kober the information that this
was happening.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I actually call Ken Kober quite a bit to dispel
rumors and speculation, and I'll say, hey, is this true?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And he said, I have not heard this.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So Ken breaks this and the response you refer to
because I want to quote it because it is so
obvious that something's going on behind the scenes in spite
of what Cheryl Long is trying to say. I mean,
she can't outrighte live, but she does her best to
do it. Quote the city has not reached a subtlement agreement,
note the emphasis. And I vehemently reject the notion that
(03:51):
any discussions are being rushed, are happening in secret, or
are designed to keep information from city council. Now, if
this was not happening, if there was not an actual
settlement discussion, then she would have said the city is
not discussing settlement with the Hinton family. That is clearly
(04:15):
not what she said. So we know this is going on.
And then lo and behold, you find out once the
local news reaches out and speaks with Councilman Seth Walsh
or who is the other counselman that's with Jeff Cameroning.
Both of them expressed like outrage at this. They're on
the side of the officer. They're on the side of justice.
(04:36):
They do not want to settle this. They're council members.
How on the hell can Cheryl Long sit down with
anyone and start talking about settlement of a lawsuit that
hasn't even been filed. Council has the power of the purse,
don't they signal ninety nine?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well yes, And here's how I can tell you that
she actually did lie in her statement because she knew
there was a very good chance that Council on Monday
was going to vote down this settlement agreement.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
With the Hidden family.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So she decided and she said, I'm just going to
pass it myself. I'm just gonna pass it myself. I'm
just gonna take care of it myself. Well see, you
got to remember, Brian, you've got people at work behind
the scenes. Irish Rowley was there in the room with
the manager, Cheryl Long, and the mayor when Ryan Hinton's
(05:31):
father viewed the bw C footage of his son getting
shot by CPD and a righteous shoot, he actually took
a swing at Chief DG and then said the words
you took one of mine, I'm going to take one
of yours.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And then the next day goes and runs over sheriffs
deputy and kills him.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
No that no, yeah, yeah, Well here's here's the problem.
The mayor and Cheryl Long and Irish Rolly thought he
would be very bad optics to arrest him for making
terroristic threats towards a police officer and for taking a
swing at Chief Thiji. So we're it'll be a bad
look for the city. Well, let me tell you what, Brian,
(06:12):
Had they done the right.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Thing, Oh yeah, Larry.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Larry Henderson, my friend would be.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
A live right shol Yeah, and you know, just and
it was the same day, by the way, that was
the same Yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I don't remember what I did yesterday.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, the day.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Before was when his son was killed. And the very
next day. And you know, the mayor and Iris Rolly
is good friends with the Hinton family.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So she was actually at the.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Scene where that pos killed my friend interfering with witnesses.
She was actually put in the back of a police
cruiser for CPD for interfering with witnesses. She was telling
witnesses at the scene don't talk to the CPD. Don't
give them a statement. They're trying to hang a brother.
Don't don't operate. This is a homicide investigation, and you're
(07:02):
tampering with witnesses.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
This is irish, really, at the scene of the murder
of the sheriff's deputy.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, so she was placed in a cruiser and then
the officer was told to let her go.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Now that BWC footage and the cruiser footage that will
all be coming out. Oh, it's locked.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
In a vault right now because the judge doesn't want
it to taint the trial. Okay, give me a break.
It's not going to taint the trial. But let me
tell you what. That footage is going to come out,
and you're going to see and hear iris Rollie act
in a fool, interfering in a homicide investigation. And she
should have been charged. Again, she should have been charged.
(07:45):
These are felonies interfering, tampering with witnesses, and a homicide investigation.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
That's a felony. Okay. Obstructing a police officer.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Hmm, Well you've got video footage of her obstructing police officers.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
At all, all the time. Yeah, so that's all going
to be coming out. She can't hide from that.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
You know. And I hate to pivot over to the
whole the situation involving the ice officer shooting in Minneapolis.
But that's interfer that can That is what happens if
you interfere with the police officer. If you do that,
it's a crime to do so. You're supposed to listen
to the police officer. Has they have the right to
do that. They have the right to stop. They have
the right to go about doing their business and enforcing
the law, which is what the federal officers are doing
(08:25):
iris rawly by interfering with the officers demonstrably doing so,
it's on video footage and not suffering any accountability is
the kind of thing that encourages others to do the
same damn thing.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It enables criminal behavior absolutely. And because we have weak
judges in Hamilton County who refuse to honor their oath
or issue one from twenty twenty two on setting the
standards of bail and whatnot, we don't have any accountability
for the criminals. They revolve in and out of the
courthouse like it's no big deal.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
And maybe a prosecutor who's not willing to even take
on a case like that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, and then there's that. So yeah, we have a
whole menagerie of loveliness in city, in the city and
in the county. And I do want to speak to
the ice thing and I want to say this.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Well, tell you what wor at break time, we'll just
bring it back up and let you finish the whole
thing that we don't have to cut you off midst
and said, okay, perfect, more a full hour's worth with
signal ninety nine. Follower on Facebook could be glad you
did a fifteen right now if you have Ker City
Talk Stations. In nineteen fifty five Ker City Talk Station
Brian Thomas with signal ninety nine, it's a pleasure to
(09:31):
have her in studio on the cutting edge of all
the shenanigans going on, most notably in the area of
law enforcement. She has spent her life in and around
law enforcement. Got all these wonderful connections what's going on
not just within the Cincinni Police Department, but also other
city organizations and of course the inside scoop what's going
on in city Hall. And we were talking about this
whole idea that we the city or specifically the city
(09:53):
managers sitting down with the Hinton family talking about writing
them at check because their son got killed by a
police officer, just defiable shooting, and they called a homicide.
You mentioned this just a moment ago signal ninety nine.
They called a homicide. But that's what the corner calls
any not murder, but anyone dying with a firearm. But
that does not mean it's criminal, correct, Like that would
(10:15):
be murder or first degree murder or second degree or manslaughter,
it would come with a criminal charge. It's just somebody died.
Point that's really all.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
That right at the hands of another human, at the
hands of another human, it doesn't And for guilt of
any kind or innocence, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
And of course, going back to the justification for use
of deadly force, eminent apprehension, agree was bodily harm if
it's reasonable and also a reasonable belief that your life
is in peril. And I had mentioned that in the
context of iris Roli, who parenthetically is not an employee
of the city, who is basically a subcontractors, a consultant,
a consultant at a six hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract.
(10:53):
She just signed. I know she employs her son to
do some of this work on Government Square or whatever
that's going to accomplish. I don't know, but she is
anti police demonstrably. So we talked about all the time
she's interfered with police officers police doing their business. You
mentioned a new one and just going back to repeat
a little bit about what you have said. The whole
idea when Rodney Hinton Junior ran over the sheriff's deputy,
(11:14):
killing Larry Henderson because his son was involved in this
criminal activity and ended up dying, that Iris Rolly was
there on the scene, and that she was trying to
interfere with the police doing that investigation and ended up
in the back of a police car. You say that
video footage is coming out, got our popcorn out, We're
waiting for it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It's emmen.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Add that to the other footage that we already have
of Iris Rolly interfering with police during their business, and
I mentioned it reminded me of Minneapolis. You know, you
start messing around police officers, you put yourself in a
situation something bad may happen. But people of power and prominence,
in regardless of what you might think of Iris Rollie.
She is any position of power and influence over a
(11:53):
pretty darn large chunk of residents in the city, and
obviously has the ear not just of show along the
city manager, but I have to have pearl ball the ear.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
She runs them.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Oh, Iris Rolly runs the city, Make no mistake about it.
Iris Rowley got the mayor reelected, make no mistake about that.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well, and that I think I have heard from multiple
independent sources that.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
She did the work. She did.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
She got people out there to register, to register people
to vote, They handed out literature, they were at every
polling station. She did the work to get him reelected,
and lazy Conservatives and Democrats stayed home and didn't vote.
And now they want to complain, but they didn't vote.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Joe Strecker color coded map of the election results. I
keep it handy right here every day for the morning show.
You're right, one out of four eligible voter showed up.
At the point. Thing that because of her power and
her prominence, she's in position to suggest that that's the
right thing to do. The more people should go out
there and do what she's doing, which is interfering with
law enforcement doing their job. Well, that's how people end
(12:56):
up dying, like in Minnesota. You were getting ready to
make about that when went to break and it took
me this long.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You have every right to protest anything you want to,
this is America.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But you do it the right way.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You stand on the sidewalk, you hold your signs, you
you say your chance. You do not interfere with federal
agents or police officers. You do not block the street,
you do not walk on the freeway. All of these
things are illegal. And when you block a street to
keep an ice agent from egress or ingress, that is
(13:34):
against the law. And when you point your car at
them and try to hit them, and she actually did.
The officer did bounce off of the corner of her
car as he was shooting her. He had to jump
out of the way. Yeah, so the FBI has it now,
which is great. He's probably going to be exonerated. But
(13:57):
you don't get to grab a federal agent. You don't
get to attack police officers or federal agents. You're going
to get shot. And there's gonna be a lot more
of it because these people have been enabled to break
the law. Last night Fountain Square, they took.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
To the streets.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I had I could find no record at all of
them pulling a permit to be in the street, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And that takes us back to and this is another thing.
I'm glad you can unpackage this force because what happened
last night with these protests blocking the street and didn't
result in any rest the best of my knowledge, we
just paid eight point one million dollars to settle the
arrest of folks for curfew violations during.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
The Okay, but let's be clear, these aren't these weren't
people arrested for curfew violations, No, no, no, These were violent protesters,
not peaceful protesters.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
If they were violent, though, why weren't they charged with
acts of violence which would have not resulted in a setting.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
They were told not to.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That's the point I wanted you to package.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, do you remember the CPD officer that got shot
in the helmet?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah? During that?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:06):
What about that?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I mean, they threw frozen bottles of water. This was
not Black Lives Matter and a peaceful protest. This was
a lot of ANTIFA types, chaos anarchists pretending to be
Black Lives Matter infiltrating the Black Lives Matter movement.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well, they took their black Lives Matter hat off, put
it in the back of their trunk, and they got
their protest iceed hat out and put it on and
shut up and showed up last night exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And you know what a lot of these anarchists are.
These are paid actors. Yeah, they're busted in from all
over the country. They come and they do these protests.
They get paid for it. I mean, this has all
been proven.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Going back to your point though, now I know there
was a police officer on the street the night that
last night, maybe in the night for the prior one
which resulted in this big settlement payment. Knowing wait a second,
I can charge that there was appropriate charges here that
I can waiting against them. I could give them a citation,
as opposed to saying you got a curfew violation, you
block the street, you do not have a permit, you
threw a bottle of frozen water, you took a shot
(16:07):
at a cop. Citation, citation, citation.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yeah, they do that, that's what the city wants.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But right you said the city doesn't want that done. Yep,
who issues that directive and does the acting whatever police
chief is in sitting in that role, does that person
have to listen to say, maybe the idle suggestions of
Irish ROLLI or city manager long or even have to
have parvo.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Well, i'm gonna tell you years ago the mayor walked
into Chief Striker's office and said, your department's going to
do this, this, and this. And Chief Striker said, well,
come back when you graduate from the police academy. Until then,
get the f out of my office. He actually said that.
But under this charter, now, under this charter agreement, the
(16:49):
chief of police has no control over their own department.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is that the result of the settlement agreement from the
post riots and the.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yes, the collaborative, collaborative. Yes, this is Irish Rolly all
day long.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
They have no actual control over their own departments anymore.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
So we're back to the Chief Striker observing the obvious,
which is people who have no training in law enforcement,
who were not having gone through the process and have
no real connection with how law enforcement works, or maybe
even the underlying laws that are being enforced, have control
over the police department.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Correct, Okay, it's I know, it's common sense. It's hard.
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well, just further illustrating how much power some of this.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Then let's talk. Can we talk about share along.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Let's talk about Scherl long after the break deal. It's
A twenty seven. We'll continue with signal ninety nine. I'm
thoroughly enjoying this. You have no idea A twenty seven
right now, but you have kerzy De Talks Days. Today's Greenland.
Trump wants Greenland. It's so strategic fraud in Minnesota. This
is fraud. Is breathtaking.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Venezuela and oil.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Take.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Here's some more ships were seas chick in for the
very latest fifty five.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It's Take thirty one, fifty five ker City Talk Station.
I hate the subject matter, but I love exposing it
and talking about it in studio Signal ninety nine. And
we're obviously talking about all the shenanigans and troubles and
well basically a lot of withholding of information about what's
going on that's important of the city. Sinceinn behind the scenes,
this whole idea of the Hint and family settlement exclusively
(18:25):
run behind the scenes by the city manager and maybe
Iris Rolly's input. We talked a lot about iris role
in her interference with the police work and the impact
she is capable of having on the city. And so
let's move aside from that, you said Signal ninety nine,
who's in studio follower on Facebook, that you wanted to
talk a little bit more about the city manager as
we move into this segment.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I want to talk a little bit about her. She
was a secretary for the city manager in North College
Hill and when that city manager abruptly retired, she wanted
a shot to try to step up and feel their place.
She was not qualified, but they made her the interim
(19:08):
city manager and then made a move to make her
actually the city manager without the love of Cancel endorsing that.
So that created some problems. And so while in her
role as the city manager for North College Hill there
were issues there as well. But she's good friends with
Irish Rowley. So she was hand picked to be the
(19:32):
city manager for Cincinnati, completely unqualified, does not have the
experience for North College Hill, let alone a city the
size of Cincinnati. And we have seen over and over
Michael Washington, chief of the Cincinnati Fire Department, fired him.
That's going to be millions of dollars, Chief Thigi, Yeah,
(19:57):
we were going to get to that one, Yeah, Chief Thigi.
Here's the thing, Chief Fiji is a legacy.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
In law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh yeah, father brothers, you know, big law enforcement, firefighter,
first responder family.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
She had all the degrees.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
She may not have done as much time on the
street as someone who typically would move up through the ranks,
but she moved up through the ranks. She doesn't want
the settlement. She wants the legacy of being the first
female chief of the Cincinnati Police Department, the second oldest
(20:41):
police department in the country. Yeah, she wants She wants
her job back. She wants to be allowed to do
her job unhindered, without people like the mayor and the
city manager in Iris Rollie telling her what she should
do with her cops and how she should run them.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Well, apparently, based what you told us in the last segment,
she's been stripped of that ability anyway, And basically she
has the settlement agreement.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
She has And nobody was more critical of Chief Thigi
than Signal ninety nine was. We were very critical of her, Yeah,
but we knew why she was doing the things she
was doing. We were calling her out for him as
a person. Teresa Thiji is a great person, and I
believe she could be a great police chief if they
(21:28):
would just leave her alone.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Leave her alone. But you know, going back to why
she's on paid administrative leave in your most recent post
signal ninety nine, they gave her apparently in an executive session,
so we don't know necessarily, but you have a little
bird apparently was in the executive session saying that Frost
Brown Todd, who did an investigation to find out if
there was any reason to justify retroactively putting her on
(21:50):
paid administrative leave, they couldn't find anything. Sure, you had
some officers that were a little upset. You mentioned that
you had some criticisms of her, But has there ever
been a police chief for them that hasn't faced criticism
from right rank and file or he comes on the program.
He had some criticism with DG. He thinks maybe she
shouldn't have gotten job in the first place. It doesn't matter,
(22:11):
but she didn't do anything that justified her termination.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
No, especially when you know, back in July, we blew
her up, we blew up the mayor over what they
call the brawl. It wasn't a brawl. It was an
attack beat down. Yeah, it was an attack. It was
a mob attack. But anyway, it wasn't mutual combat. Really
until you know, the guy got tired of being punched
in the back of the head, so.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Or Holly stopped the punch when she with her face.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
So after that, you know, we were very critical of it,
the mayor, and we did a post that said, you
should resign in a blaze of glory, say this is
why my cops aren't allowed to do their jobs.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Going back to the earlier point, the chief does not
control the police. It's apparently or have to have parwell
or city manager luck correct.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So you know, we said this in a post, and
two days later, because I know the mayor watches Signal
ninety nine like a hawk. They all do, two days
later the mayor came on and touted how great she was.
He had every faith in her. She was doing a
great job. Oh y, he has said this over and
over and over. Well, in that post two days previous,
I had said, they're going to sacrifice you when it
(23:26):
gets closer to the election, They're going to sacrifice you
like a pawn in hopes of his reelection bid. And
you know what, that's exactly what they did. And that
is not okay, No, it is not okay.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Well, in the whole the compounding insanity about all this
is they put her down, they let they put her on, Minister.
They didn't say why they didn't, Well, you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Know why they did it, other than sacrifice in her
as a pawn. They did it because of the chiefs
meeting that she had every right to attend in Hamilton
County and try to collaborate with other chiefs on how
to fix the violent crime in Hammonda County, how to
fix attack these judges and make them start doing their jobs,
(24:13):
you know, arrests, how to get the sheriff to open
up those two floors in the jail. So the Hamilda
County chiefs all met, collaborated and shared ideas to try
to combat violent crime in Hammonda County. And she was
a part of that, and that pissed them.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Off because they getting rid of crime in Hamilton County
and helping these citizens of Hamilton County live better, happier,
safer lives undermines the platform of the Provole administration.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Apparently it's all by design, Brian, it's all by design.
Back when provol was Clerk of Courts, he had a
meeting with the Democratic judges and he said he was
just a clerk. He said you will do the low bail,
no jail, soft on crime in sentencing or or I'm
going to have you primaried. He actually said that, and
(25:05):
one dump Democratic Judge Dante Johnson stood up and said,
then primary me. You're not going to tell me what
to do in my courtroom, and he walked out and left.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
But that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Going back to the chief striker like moment. Yeah, earlier, Yeah,
my dad wouldn't have said I got two words for
a happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, yeah, I love those words.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I know I do too. Hold on, it's a thirty eight.
We're going to continue with signal ninety nine and studio
got some more things to talk about, like lateral hires
the Sheriff's department apparently issues as well westside or west
end cameras and Ohio state assistance from Ohio State Highway
Patrol with policing in the area. We'll see we can't
stuff all that in. Signal ninety nine returns after these
(25:46):
brief words.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Hey folks, this is Gary Sullivan from at Home with
Gary Sullivan.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Hope you get forty two if you have carcity Talk
Station Bryan Thomas wishing You're on a very happy Friday
and thoroughly enjoyed the information that Signaled ninety nine has
been sharing with us this morning about all these very
controversial issues whirling around the city of Cincinnati, the mayor,
the city manager, and a lot has to do with
Iris Roli, apparently, as she is well pointing out every day,
as she does on her site, which is Signal ninety
(26:11):
nine on Facebook, connected with all the insiders, and of
course happy to telegraph that and allow us the information
because apparently the city of Cincinnati and the council members
and the mayor and the others don't want us to
know about the shenanigans going on. So what we got
here after the brawl the beat down last year, we
talked about what happened with Police Chief Thiji, but we
(26:32):
also had this reaction is like Mayor Purval finally woke
up and said, oh, we've got to do something about
the crime problem, because we ever do screaming about crime,
and he kept denying it. Oh, there's no crime problem
with the City of Cincinnati. Something sort of the narrative
out of the Mayor's office, and then that happened. Holly
get to punch in the face. It's all on video.
It looks terrible, the optics sory. It made national and
global news. His response was it five point four million
(26:55):
dollars we're going to throw at public safety and an
allocation for some cameras over in the West which had
been promised now for like a couple of years, never
been done and up in only a moment in time
ago where cameras put in. We saw another eleven year
old girl get shot real close to the area where
an eleven year old got shot a couple of years earlier.
No love for the West End, but we got offered
all of this assistance from the state of Ohio, and
(27:17):
they also promised to do lateral hires. And the interesting
fact that I learned earlier in the week from Kencoverer
FLb president with that there are thirty open lateral higher spots,
but only seven people applied.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
We would you apply you if you knew you couldn't
do your job. You were handcuffed, you were sheep. Dogs
need to be free. They know what they're allowed to
do and what they're not allowed to do. This is
why they're trained and certified through the Commission of OPATA.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
They know the law.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
When you're not allowed to only and for certain laws
in a certain way, why would you want to work there?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah, and you don't get any respect or love from
the people who were in charge of how you do
your job every day.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Great, same thing with the Sheriff's office. Why would you
want to work for an agency that doesn't support the
officers from the top down.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
But you say what you want about governor to Wine,
he offered a huge array of assistance. And now we
got a mayor who wants to raise income taxes in
order to improve public safety. The governor is offering all
kinds of public safety, maybe improving services free for free. Yes,
(28:32):
and yet the mayor hasn't accepted it. Where are we
with that? He's got two days and then four days
a month. When was the last thing?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, and then they weren't going to renew it, and
then I you know, we blew that up on signal
ninety nine. And then the very next day the mayor
said he released a statement that you know he's entering into,
you know, another agreement, renewing an agreement with the governor. Well,
here's the thing. The agreement is only what Irish really says.
Aerial support from the helicopters. OSP is only to do
(29:02):
traffic enforcement, not enforced laws. You know, she's tied their
hands and intelligence. So what about the state agents for parole,
for probation, for alcohol, tobacco. All of these things are free.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
From the state.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And I got to tell you, I'm a little honked
off at the governor because he doesn't need the city's
permission to come down here.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
He's he's the damn governor.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
He can send whoever he wants whenever he wants to
combat violent crime. He could crush the crime in Cincinnati.
He could pull enough resources to absolutely swat the hell
out of it.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
It would cost us any money. We wouldn't have to
raise income tax either.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
We would not. We would not.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And you know what the one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars earmarked for those cameras at the park. Yeah, you
know they three c DC is in bed with the
mayor and they want the control of all the cameras.
Everybody knows right now that flock cameras are phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
The license plate reader cameras.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yes, absolutely so you know shot spotter, it's phenomenal. So
if you have these tools in these resources to combat
violent crime. What's happening is you see communities that are
getting flock. They're not getting cars stolen from there anymore
because the word gets out and they're like, if I
steal this car here and they have flock, they're going
(30:34):
to track me everywhere where there's a FLOCK, So I'm
going to go somewhere else and steal this car.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
And that technology is out there and it's available to us.
Do we own it already or do we have it?
Is it a difficult thing to like, did we really
need an extra one hundred and fifty grand specifically allocated
for the cameras on the West End or did you
think they had that within their budget already? They could
have done it a year or two ago.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Flock would have absolutely worked with them to get things
going and in place.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And here's the beautiful thing. People shoot out surveillance cameras
in the city.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
They damage them, they throw rocks. Flock repairs them themselves.
Flock does all the maintenance on their cameras. So you
have a camera go down, Flock sends somebody out to
take care of it.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Right now, Well, apparently you can't get a camera installed
unless you have your own bucket truck in this in
this town, and there is a bucket truck, but you
have to make arrangements to get the bucket truck to
put the camera up. It also requires working with apparently,
is it Duke or I believe that Duke has It's
Duke who owns the polls, the utility polls upon which
(31:34):
the cameras were placed. One of the excuses from the
mayor's office that I read the other day, I think
was the enquire doesn't matter, but that we need approval
or we need the processing to come from Duke. When
Duke was asked by local news, we haven't had any
request to instell West End cameras.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Let's just chase another lie.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
We're all about transparency and accountability and oh.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Yeah, and that's why they're having that executive this discussion
on Monday behind closed doors about the settlement that we
just found out.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
About it and that's a little illegal.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Ran Oh, they could do the personnel thing with Fiji
in executive session, but they can't do this.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Does that suggest perhaps federal authorities should come in and investigate?
All right, let's end on that note. We'll bring it
right back, signal ninety nine. One more in studio, take
forty eight right now. If you have KRCD talk station
Ice officers were out in an enforcement action. An agent
recklessly karc the talk station. Ah, music to my ears
(32:34):
literally figuratively, it is obviously Friday one more with signal
ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
But first I just want to.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Ask Friday gotta listen to the first version of the
song signal Yes. What a wonderful world and what a
wonderful interview. Sign ninety nine you found on a faceboo
inside information. She's got it, she's got the goods to
back it up. And I've been This is my twentieth
year in radio, and Joe just let me know that
(33:08):
of all of the guests that I have had all
the program over twenty years, and that includes senators and
you know, famous authors and renowned doctors, and I mean,
I could go on and on and on, I've been
blessed as I can be as a human being for
the folks that I've been able to talk to. This
conversation has neted Joe Strecker more texts than any other
(33:29):
interview that I have done. He said, he's just getting
flooded over there with people chiming in. You got how
many eleven so far this morning? Just here since you've
been sitting here, and I am honored. I just found
out from you off break that of all the people
have been asking you to be interviewed kind of, come

I just feel so blessed that you would do that,
and I am You're the first. This is great. It's
just been wonderful discussion and unbelievably enlightening, although admittedly depressing
on a lot of levels. But maybe by putting the
sunlight of disinfectant on it, maybe something will change for
the better. And that's why I applaud you and everything
(34:12):
that you're willing to do, including suffering the slings and
arrows that you get being an online presidents of online
presence of such prominence.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Your health, yeah, my health a lot well, And I
know you didn't want me to do this. But to
say it anyway, you want to help Signal ninety now
because she has got some issues going on in her world.
There is a gives Send Go page. Just look for
Signal ninety nine on give Send Go, and you've got
halfway to your goal. The goal that the person that
set it up, Sherry Mooment. It looks like Corey Bowman's wife, right, no, no,

to use a couple of the council members.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Crammerdy and Walsh and Jeffries all came out and said
they were against the settlement offer for the Hintons and
they're coming out. They're coming out of the shadows and
end of the light. So I want to commend them
for doing that because they might be ostracized for doing
(35:25):
that as well.
Speaker 3 (35:27):

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Welcome to that.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I can't confirm that, but I heard it.
Speaker 1 (35:51):

it is going to be you. You probably hear get a
phone call from him after the show. We will They're
going to be having that executive session on Monday. The
council member are on this hint and settlement, which sounds
like most of them didn't even know what was going
on until our friend in this studio right now, Signal
ninety nine brought it to the attention of FOP President
Can Kober, who announced it to the world. And that's
(36:13):
