Speaker 1 (00:00):
And away we go. Hey, stand by, h We'll talk
to Chief Meteorologists Marshall McPeek. Care in a little bit.
We're having some thunder booming here at the radio station.
And uh, man, it was pouring like coming down in buckets.
A little bit earlier you were kind of making the assessment, Chuck,
when you were in studio, you know, recording earlier.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
It was just like wow, it's like so I couldn't
see it, but I definitely heard it.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, it's crazy, like over top of us, you know,
all over the man nuts absolutely nuts. Uh, stand by,
we'll get to Uh. Deer are everywhere and is that
a bet in your belfry? More on that straight ahead?
(00:48):
You know, Democrats are calling what happened over the weekend
a peaceful protest. What am I missing? Peaceful? Peaceful protest?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I didn't see one bit of footage where there wasn't
a vehicle burning. And by the way, why did they
just let them burn? Why wasn't LAFD there to put
those out?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Would they go? Why would they go out? If I
were the fire department without a police escort and swat
behind me, I sure as hell wouldn't go out there
to put out those fires. You set them on purpose,
they're going to burn until we're safe to go out
there and put them out.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, I was just thinking in the interest of public safety.
But you know what, in the interest of fire department
personnel safety, I guess this probably is probably a good
way to answer that. And he is FOP President Lodge
nine Brian Steele joining us now, and hey, Brian, welcome
to the Mark Blazer Show. Appreciate you coming on, brother.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Hey, thank you. As uni man. I don't want to
take away from Marsham McPeak, but i'll tell you right
now as sixty nine DEGREECE fahrenheit with late rain.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes, that's great. You are one thousand percent correct, and
you did it without a meteorological low lolul degree. That's
good man.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, that's right, that's right. You gentlemen. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh yeah, thank you great. Thank you very much for
jumping on today. And once again we see, well let's
get your assessment your thoughts as you watched. You know,
Los Angeles have on fire, and I know it's one section,
it's one street, and there was a few things going
on there, but by and large, there's a lot of
activity going on there. That is illegal in nature.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, so let's talk about California or l LA. The
Los Angeles Police Department came out and said they had
peaceful protests. This is the same city that when the
wildfires came out, the assistant fire chiefs said, when your
house is on fire, you want somebody that looks like
you to respond. Right, we could all agree, if your
house is on fire, you want somebody to get you
out and put out the flames. So that's the kind
of local government we're dealing with. Let's be very clear, Blazer,
(02:43):
I welcome peaceful protesters. We all welcome peaceful protest. It's
a right of every American. Cops took an oath to
protect that right. But what we see in time and
time again, especially in Columbus in twenty twenty in LA today,
it is not a protest. It's not even civil disobedience.
It's violence, organized chaos, and in some cases you can
call it an insurrection against government.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
When you see people throwing from an overpass down to
parked police cruisers below, it was a I believe it
was some sort of a you know, like one of
those things that the kids ride on now, the then bikes. Yeah, yeah,
those and then a Molotov cocktail being drunk, and then
(03:25):
the officers are under the bridge, Like isn't that if
that happens to an officer? That's I mean, they're coming out,
they're attacking you. I mean they're Why were they just cowering?
I can't understand.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Because they are terrorists. I guess why when you are
trying to change policy, change law, change people by scaring
the something out of them that you are a terrorist.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And that's what they are. I was talking about the officers.
Why are they just under the bridge like doing nothing,
just letting people do whatever they want. They're all cowering
under there as people are dropping stuff off off of
the bridge onto the vehicles, I mean literally setting them
on fire, and I just I don't understand it. It
(04:08):
is a head scratcher, to say the least.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You have these officers again with minimal equipment. Picture this.
You have a helmet, maybe maybe a shield, a plastic shield,
and someone thirty feet up is throwing hundreds of bricks
at you. Listen, it comes down to the truth and
the narrative. The media and some elected officials love to
paint these events as peaceful, same as twenty twenty at Columbus,
those of us that were hit with the rocks, hit
with the bottles, and over two hundred officers here injured.
(04:34):
Yet it's whitewashed. Nobody talks about it. Nobody's talking about
the officers injured in California. But remember this who's being targeted.
The police don't write immigration policy here in Columbus or
in California. They don't enforce federal deportation orders, yet they're
always the ones on the front line taking the blame
and the beatings.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Hey also, so Gavin Newsom, the governor hairjel as they're
calling him now, he tweets out, let's get this straight.
Local law enforcement didn't need help. Meanwhile, you're watching what
I just described, and you're watching vehicles burn, and it
looks to be like they need plenty of help. Then
he goes on to say Trump sent troops anyway to
manufacture chaos and violence. Yes, President Trump is the one
(05:18):
manufacturing the chaos and the violence. And then Trump succeeded
was his third part. And now things are destabilized and
we need to send in more law enforcement just to
clean up Trump's mess. That is what the governor of California,
tweeted out, and anybody with two eyes, even people who
hate Trump, cannot look at this whole situation and say
(05:38):
he's absolutely spot on. It is crazy the amount of
the inconsistent or the bad information that is sent out.
We're watching they're trying to call this peaceful protest. We're
watching them go to work on all kinds of different vehicles,
burning them, beating them with skateboards. We saw him, did
you see him knocking the windows out of lap the
(06:01):
actual building. They were there with skateboards, smashing the windows
at the Los Angeles Police Department. The building there. It shades,
not quite but almost shades of what happened in Minneapolis.
We were starting to see that. Trump's like, nah, not
on my watch, It's not gonna happen. So he gets
the National Guard involved and they're trying to sit. Now
He's going to file some lawsuit against him and all
(06:23):
this is crazy. So on the heels of all of this,
Brian Steele, who's joining us right now. Multiple demonstrations planned
in Columbus this week. I was reading this article It's
going to be a busy week for protesters in Columbus,
and the first person I thought of was you, Brian,
because I said, you know, you probably have some warnings
for people, You will probably have some thoughts in this situation.
(06:44):
And I love how they put in this article the
vast majority of Central Ohio's upcoming protests were planned before
the weekends escalating protests in California unfoldil they say the
vast majority, which tells me there are some So what
are they and are they inspired by this? They're also
calling it Trump Administration's immigration crackdown. I love that they
(07:07):
are putting his name with it, because that for me,
that yeah, that signals that you've got a president who's
saying the immigration, the idiocy that we have witnessed, and
these bad, bad people that are here as a result
of the previous administration. He's got to go in and
try to clean this up. And it's the people who
are saying, I'm going to get between ice and the
(07:29):
people that are here illegally or whatever, and they think
they have some right for this. So what are your
thoughts on the upcoming protests they're calling it? It's going
to be a busy week for protesters here in Columbus, So.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Again, could it be more clear we welcome peaceful protests.
But the people sturing this chaos aren't anti immigration. There's
nothing to do with immigration. This is anti government, anti police,
anti society that's doing this. I was in a room
at the White House with President Trump last week, and
I'm not here to prosecute or defend him. I could
just tell you what he had said. He had said,
our policies are going after removing violent offenders who are
(08:05):
in this country illegally. At not one point did he
say we are going to target illgal aliens or undocumented
of Americans, whatever you want to call them, whatever the
fluff word is. He said, we are going out of
the most violence. But that doesn't matter to some. So
to your question, if there's a protest here in Columbus,
it'll go off without hitch. If there is a riot
(08:25):
here in Columbus, like in twenty twenty, we have some issues.
Thanks to Judge Marveley's order an injunction on the Combuss police,
which was codified into organs four years ago, praised by
many city leaders, our ability to respond has been gutted.
There's no more tear gas, no more batons. Those were
getting destroyed. Our officers got shackled, by politics not policy.
(08:48):
I pray to God we do not see a riot
here or we're going to have problems.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's exactly why you saw those officers under a bridge
in Los Angeles, because they have the same constraints on them,
plus a government that is blatantly more against them than
even ours here in Central Ohio. They've got and then
they've got the legal repercussions because they're left standing alone
in court and blamed for everything. When this, when this
goes into a courtroom, and you know it will, so
(09:13):
this is I'm worried. I'm worried because Columbus, Ohio, being
that it has so little identity of its own so often,
I'm worried that the idiots here will attempt to emulate
what they're seeing on the television screen. And if so,
it's going to be a bad weekend.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
And if history is prediction of the future, truck, to
your point, not only the officers physically injured, to your point,
are officers in twenty twenty legally professionally ambushed. Right, what
do we do? We had a witch hunt. We brought
in out of town carpetbager investigators, a special prosecutor, Kathleen
Garber frivolous charges that were all dropped. So those officers
in LA, your best course of action may be to
(09:50):
stand under that bridge and wait out the broach. I
want to make it clear though, anytime an officer sees
a person violently attacked, they will go in and they
will do whatever they have to do to sa stop that.
We will never stand by and watch a person, a citizen,
be violently attacked.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You know the fact too that Brian Steele, FOP Lodge
nine president is joining us now and Brian one thing too.
A lot of people, you know, people are informed, especially
the ones who are very well informed who are part
of these these protests, if you will, knowing that the
type of constraints that the Columbus Police have on them
(10:26):
now and that's what makes this more scarier than ever.
And I think a lot of the officers too. This
is just my guessing that you know, in those situations,
they're constantly It's just it's human nature to second guess,
and you don't want to end up, for lack of
a better term, you don't want to end up as
(10:49):
an officer who ends up in jail making a decision
that you possibly should not have made or you did
right in the spare of the moment, and you could
have maybe you know, done something other so other than
the ultimate if we're talking about that. But that's the
kind of thing that's so scary in these situations is
that the bad guys, the bad actors, they all know
(11:09):
what the Columbus Police are up against in a situation
like this.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
That's one hundred is sure. And the only thing I
could tell our members is that that you show up,
you go to work. We'll always stand ready to protect
life if there is something that occurs. I can guarantee
my members like I did in twenty twenty, I'll stand
shoulder and shoulder with them. But we will not be
political punch of bags anymore like we were five years ago.
I'm putting twenty twenty in my rear view, but since
it came up today, we're talking about it. As you
(11:35):
can see, I get passion to talk about it. I
am very very concerned if that happens here, what the
outcome is going to be for a community.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Usually with this, you know the Pride March, the Stonewall
Columbus Pride March, which we know is coming up on
June fourteenth, I believe that's Saturday, Yeah, Saturday. I think
typically in years past, I've never really seen anything with
regard to that or the parade or I've never really
I'd have some people yelling stuff or whatever. I've never seen.
I worry about something like that now based on what
(12:06):
we've just witnessed in Los Angeles over the weekend. Now,
I wonder because it's literally going to be so fresh
in a lot of people's minds. I just don't know
how this whole thing. I would imagine everybody involved is
pretty nervous about.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
This and the people coming to Pride. Ninety nine percent
of the individuals coming to Pride are there to celebrate.
It's a good day, but we always have to look
out for the ones that want to commit chaos, the
disruptors that want to ruin any event, no matter what
it is.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, all right. Brian Steele, FLP President
Lodge nine, thank you for jumping on with us and
giving us some clarity. It looks like you guys are
hopefully it won't be busy. It'll be busy in that
the guys will you know, have a lot of you know,
work ahead of them with regard to this, but it'll
all be peaceful. Let's hope, you know, one after the other.
It looks like they're scheduling what or I'm reading over
(12:58):
a dozen of these pro are you do you even
have a number on anything like this, what you guys
are hearing or seeing?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I don't have a number. I just know the talk
right here internally it has been Hey, just you know,
there's no talk about a mobilization or anything like that
as large. But again in twenty twenty that hit us.
We had no idea that I was going to be
that large.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You don't know it's going to be either. That's what
this is Columbus where we can't even eat tacos together
without a bunch of violence going on. So you may
have a harmless event going on, but it doesn't mean
the big guys unable trade and start something.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yes, yep, yep. Well, hey, thank you. I appreciate you
guys always giving me a sound onboard.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, absolutely all right, Brian, thank you very much. Appreciate you. Bye,
see you brother, be safe out there.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I hate it. I hate this feeling of dark anticipation
in my hometown. This is not the way Columbus, Ohio
is supposed to feel, you.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Know, since twenty twenty, it's taken an absolute you that's
the correct I think this assessment dark. That's it, the
dark anticipation or or how did you just put it?
The dark? Is that what you said? Think so anticipation
like that. Unfortunately, that's that's what this is kind of
devolved into. And and this reeks of that again, especially
(14:09):
when they're putting it. You know, they start it's going
to be a busy week for protesters in Columbus, and
you hope that that's all they're doing and it's not
a bunch of bad actors. But we know how this
typically goes, and I hope, I hope it doesn't go
that way for the sake of our men and women
of law enforcement.
And away we go. Hey, stand by, h We'll talk
to Chief Meteorologists Marshall McPeek. Care in a little bit.
We're having some thunder booming here at the radio station.
And uh, man, it was pouring like coming down in buckets.
A little bit earlier you were kind of making the assessment, Chuck,

Speaker 2 (00:23):
It was just like wow, it's like so I couldn't

all over the man nuts absolutely nuts. Uh, stand by,
we'll get to Uh. Deer are everywhere and is that
a bet in your belfry? More on that straight ahead?

to the Mark Blazer Show. Appreciate you coming on, brother.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Hey, thank you. As uni man. I don't want to
take away from Marsham McPeak, but i'll tell you right
now as sixty nine DEGREECE fahrenheit with late rain.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes, that's great. You are one thousand percent correct, and
you did it without a meteorological low lolul degree. That's
good man.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, that's right, that's right. You gentlemen. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh yeah, thank you great. Thank you very much for

That's one hundred is sure. And the only thing I
could tell our members is that that you show up,
you go to work. We'll always stand ready to protect
life if there is something that occurs. I can guarantee
my members like I did in twenty twenty, I'll stand
shoulder and shoulder with them. But we will not be
political punch of bags anymore like we were five years ago.
I'm putting twenty twenty in my rear view, but since
it came up today, we're talking about it. As you
(11:35):
can see, I get passion to talk about it. I
am very very concerned if that happens here, what the
outcome is going to be for a community.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Usually with this, you know the Pride March, the Stonewall
Columbus Pride March, which we know is coming up on
June fourteenth, I believe that's Saturday, Yeah, Saturday. I think
typically in years past, I've never really seen anything with
regard to that or the parade or I've never really
I'd have some people yelling stuff or whatever. I've never seen.
I worry about something like that now based on what
(12:06):
we've just witnessed in Los Angeles over the weekend. Now,
I wonder because it's literally going to be so fresh
in a lot of people's minds. I just don't know
how this whole thing. I would imagine everybody involved is
pretty nervous about.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
This and the people coming to Pride. Ninety nine percent
of the individuals coming to Pride are there to celebrate.
It's a good day, but we always have to look
out for the ones that want to commit chaos, the
disruptors that want to ruin any event, no matter what
it is.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, all right. Brian Steele, FLP President
Lodge nine, thank you for jumping on with us and
giving us some clarity. It looks like you guys are
hopefully it won't be busy. It'll be busy in that
the guys will you know, have a lot of you know,
work ahead of them with regard to this, but it'll
all be peaceful. Let's hope, you know, one after the other.
It looks like they're scheduling what or I'm reading over
(12:58):
a dozen of these pro are you do you even
have a number on anything like this, what you guys
are hearing or seeing?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I don't have a number. I just know the talk
right here internally it has been Hey, just you know,
there's no talk about a mobilization or anything like that
as large. But again in twenty twenty that hit us.
We had no idea that I was going to be
that large.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
You don't know it's going to be either. That's what
this is Columbus where we can't even eat tacos together
without a bunch of violence going on. So you may
have a harmless event going on, but it doesn't mean
the big guys unable trade and start something.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yes, yep, yep. Well, hey, thank you. I appreciate you
guys always giving me a sound onboard.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, absolutely all right, Brian, thank you very much. Appreciate you. Bye,
see you brother, be safe out there.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I hate it. I hate this feeling of dark anticipation
in my hometown. This is not the way Columbus, Ohio
is supposed to feel, you.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Know, since twenty twenty, it's taken an absolute you that's
the correct I think this assessment dark. That's it, the
dark anticipation or or how did you just put it?
The dark? Is that what you said? Think so anticipation
like that. Unfortunately, that's that's what this is kind of
devolved into. And and this reeks of that again, especially
(14:09):
when they're putting it. You know, they start it's going
to be a busy week for protesters in Columbus, and
you hope that that's all they're doing and it's not
a bunch of bad actors. But we know how this
typically goes, and I hope, I hope it doesn't go
that way for the sake of our men and women
of law enforcement.
