Speaker 1 (00:08):
Five o five.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A fiftivet KRC DE talk station, Friday eight.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Some say.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
The song's becoming truer and truer. Vacation.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I'm the dude man.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Always commented, we should read the word the lyrics to
that song anima by tool learned to swim. Anyhow, I
hope you have a decent day so far. If you're
reading the news, you're probably not. But if you'd like
to call in, I welcome phone calls five one, three, seven, four, nine,
fifty eight hundred eight two three Taco with pound five

(00:53):
fifty on eight and t phones. Brian Thomas right here.
Joe Trekorey belongs right there in the Executi producer booth
and lined up a great show today, including Dave Williams
from the Taxpayer Protection Lines. Dave joins the program at
seven oh five. Are we pursuing free or fair trade?
Question mark? The answer no is right there, okay. Dave

(01:15):
will fill in the blanks on that one. Coming up
at seven oh five, what is the remittance tax? And
finally food stamp fraud? And we know there's a lot
of fraud wasts in abuse in government. It's everywhere. Bob
Wetter or we got a tower lighting ceremony. He's going
to be talking about that. I think that's uh. That's
coming up this weekend the new water tower lights in

(01:38):
Mount Washington. So they finally got the lights back. I
guess anyway, details from Bob that'll come up at seven forty.
Scott Warman from the Cincinnion choirer AFTAB prov all met
with the widow Sarah Herringer. We know about that. Why
was AFTAB five find a whopping fifty dollars? And what's

(01:59):
going on with this? Since your fire department, which recently
released a survey, the fire fighters are not happy. I
think I can boil the entire survey down with that
brief comment. So there's that, and then finally, of course,
it's Thursday, the pleasure of company iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff.
We have stories about a Florida based airlines shutting down

(02:21):
telling passengers to stay at home. Boeing celebrating a great
month of sales. There's a positive information, not a Boeing.
That's interesting. Airlines selling our personal and travel information to
the Department of Homeland Security as well as other government agencies.
There's a troubling component, right there plus hub delay is
always find out what the air travel situation is going

(02:43):
to be like with Jay Rattliffe over the block page.
But you have Curiosy dot com get you try heart
mediap so you can stream the content, listen to the
conversations and the blog page. Judge Enteropolitano Taylor Gray with
his book Forged in Chaos for military folks out there
and families of military members are struggling with well life
after service, which can be quite challenging. Tyler Gray was

(03:07):
apparently just twenty four to seven adrenaline field given the
type of work he did, Delta Force, behind the scenes,
explosive operations, kicking indoors, that kind of stuff, and he
found life extraordinarily difficult after he got out of the service,
struggle with substance abuse and relationship issues and everything, and

(03:27):
he had to sort of challenge himself and engage in
a tremendous amount of introspection to figure out why he
was so unsettled and unhappy. He wrote about it in
an effort to help other veterans dealing with their challenges.
So right there a great opportunity to help yourself or
help a friend or family member who's struggling with that
Congressman Thomas Massey on what he needs from the Senate

(03:49):
in order to vote for the big beautiful bill. It
was a good conversation with Congressman Massey, it always is.
So there you have it. He went to the Save
our Salary rally and Columbus, I'd love to hear from
you as well over to something I find very troubling
and very bizarre reflective of the current state of politics.

(04:11):
Of course, Hamilton County prosecutor County Pillage so disturbed by this.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Of course you probably heard the no Kings protests taking
place fifteen hundred cities all across the United States. What
they're protesting, I don't know. Basically, it's Trump. This is
just an extension of the Trump derangement syndrome. You know,
the inflation numbers are down. They're actually wonderful inflation numbers.

(04:41):
That's going well. Jobless claims are down. I mean, we
still have unemployment rate of four point two percent, price
of fuels down. I mean, all the economic indicators are
looking very good. As of right now. Things are going well.

(05:02):
I mean, with the exception of your perception of immigration
and whether or not you think Donald Trump is handling
it well. I mean, the polling numbers reflect that most
people are supportive of his efforts to at least get
rid of murderers, rapists, and killers and folks of that
ilk who are here illegally. You may take issue with
the Trump's sending in the National Guard, but someone had

(05:23):
to protect the Ice officers. The Los Angeles Police Department
wasn't doing it. There's widely reported that Ice officers who
are under tax sought help from the LAPD, and they
had a hunker down for two hours before they showed up.
We've got someone now being prosecuted for attempted murder, guy
who threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement officers. Mostly

(05:44):
peaceful protests, though don't believe your own eyes. Cars being torched,
hundreds of businesses are being looted. There was a story
in the Wall Street Journal this morning about the economic
impact that it's having on various areas within Los Angeles.
The stores, no one's showing up, people are not coming in,

(06:08):
the stores are being looted, Graffiti everywhere, And what does
looting have to do with your position on immigration? But
this no King's protest, any golden over. It's the Enquirer
just doing a lot of promotion work to get people
to show up, organized by activist group Indivisible and its partners,

(06:31):
and and and and and wonder what about the partners
because there's more and more information coming out about how
well funded these organized are, these protests are. This isn't
an organic grass roots response. You know what an organic
grassroots response is the petition drive to save Hyde Park Square.
You know, when when you when you ignore the will

(06:52):
and the and the demands of the citizenry as an
elected official, sometimes the citizens pop up and say, you
know what, We're going to circulate a petition and undo
the nonsense that you've done to us. And that organized
grassroots petition went around. They got enough vote, so they
are going to at least be able to vote on
whether or not they can determine their own fate in
High Park, unlike what's going on now. And many are suggesting,

(07:14):
and many are saying, follow the money trail in connection
with these riots that are going on, that they were coordinated,
they were planned in advance. And this does not shock
me at all. I mean, you can sound conspiratorial when
you make these when you draw the connect these dots.
But you know, it's like, the minute Ice shows up,

(07:36):
here's what we're going to do, providing an opportunity for
folks to break things and burn things to the ground
and throw molotov cocktails at law enforcement officers. So I
don't know what's going to become of the No King's protest.
I really have just conceptually nationwide day of defiance, and
they never fully articulate what they're going to be out defying.

(07:59):
Are they said about the current state of the economy.
Is this a promotion for illegal immigrants to let them
stay in our country, including the criminal element among them?
What is the protest the work requirement and medicaid which
hasn't gone into the law yet. But I mean, I'm
just throwing things out there that you'll make the news

(08:20):
and provide division between the two party system we have
and among individuals. So just get out there to defy
and back to Countie Pillach. And she had the audacity
to post this on social media her own account. She's

(08:42):
the Hamilton County prosecutor. What's the Hamilton County prosecutor's job
to prosecute criminals or accuse criminals? Anyway, We've got a
problem in the city of Cincinnati. I mean, yeah, we
all found out connect with this stabbing that made the
news that folks with ankle monitors really aren't being monitored.

(09:07):
And when the folks responsible for monitoring those with ankle
monitors don't even bother reporting the local law enforcement. When
someone has cut their ankle monitor off and is not
there and accountable where he's supposed to be living in
a halfway house, that's a problem. But what's on my mind,
she writes, what's on my mind? My job is to

(09:31):
prosecute people who commit crimes at least, she accurately stated
her role, from minor infractions to horrible offenses. But all
this is against a backdrop of such unconstitutional lawlessness at
the federal level by an incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated jackal

(09:56):
who threatens our varied democracy every day. Well, of course,
she's referring to the President of the United States of America.
Even worse, she writes, he is backed up by vile
humans whose acts and advice indicate they want to destroy

(10:16):
our democracy. Please join me Saturday with a link to
the No King's nationwide Day of Defiance. Hamilton County prosecutor
County Village. HM. Well, it's quite revealing anyway. I actually,

(10:38):
you know, sort of appreciate her willingness to come out
and reflect the state of mind that she has. I
love free speech for that reason alone. You know where
the problems are when people utter such crap and nonsense.
And I appreciate Dan Hills that would support the Blue
and since any former FOP president, Dan Hill served his

(11:00):
community as a police officer for years and years and years.
He wrote on Facebook, for the love of God, Connie,
you are an attorney and the county prosecutor. The United
States of America is a republic, not a democracy. I
love when people point that out, because, of course, Connie
Pillis apparently has no concept of the destruction of democracy.

(11:21):
We don't live in democracy anyway. Your party did everything
it could to destroy our republic by opening the borders
and encouraging the violation of immigration laws. You are supposed
to be Hamilton County's central figure in keeping the rule
of law. I barely got a high school diplomba, but

(11:42):
you make me feel highly educated. A bit of self
deprecation there from Dan Hills. Our previous prosecutor would never
have said anything like this about the senile dude who
was in the White House, despite her likely being dismayed
by his incompetence. You don't say dot dot dot, you
know the word he's referring to, like this in your position,

(12:05):
grow up, thank thank goodness. I Dan Hills moved to
Warren County, which was my wife's reaction after the election
results came in from Hamilton County this past fall. We
need to get out of Hamilton County. I'm I'm just

(12:25):
overwhelmed and dismayed by this. I mean Connie Pillage. We
all know she's from the left chunk of cloth, but
her position is supposed to be one of neutrality as
a prosecutor of people who commit crimes from minor infractions
and horrible offenses, not as a leftist political advocate. But

(12:49):
she'll be there. Five seventeen five, eighteen five and three
seven fifty eight hundred eight two three talkco Town five
fifty on eighteen defends love to get your reaction to
that for you give me a callee right by KCD
talk station Happy Friday, eighteen. Oh look, all is right

(13:10):
with the world If I won three seven two three
Talk Pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Tom,
good to hear from you today as always.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Yeah, good morning. I literally just called in a minute ago.
So you guess you were getting a little worried looking
at the call stream.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Were you put out an APB? Tom's not on the phone.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
Oh, we can't have that.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
That's the.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
Uh, yeah, I gotta I'm not really sure about this
whole golden ticket thing. I literally just got in my
car a few minutes ago, So I don't know if
you touched on this, but I had a Trump Golden ticket.
I mean, look, I know he's a showman. We understand
that about him, and it's you know, he likes to

(13:53):
brag and and you know, put his name and picture
on things. Okay, I get it and all, but you're
you're you're flouting the citizenship of the United States of America.
I'm not really sure that I like the idea of
here you go, if you pay a bunch of money,
and we'll put you to the front of line and
correct me if I'm wrong. That's basically what's going on,
right that.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
The gist of it is, Yeah, if you've got five
million dollars, obviously you're not going to be coming in
and putting yourself under the social welfare safety net or
mooching off the American taxpayer. You obviously have enough, you
can take care of yourself, and you are buying your
way in though. And I'm I don't. I don't agree
with the concept personally.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
No, And you know, and I immediately think about the
people who will have gone through or are going through
all the necessary hoops and stuff, yeah, to become a
citizen in the United States, And what do they think,
you know, well, wait a minute, if I had five
million dollars, I could have skipped all this. I just
I don't that's not fair.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
You know.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
Look, there's some things that hey, you want to put
up for sale, whatever, But the citizenship of this country,
especially with every that we've been talking about the last
eight ten years, and how valuable it is and how
precious it should be considered, and how much trouble people
should be going through instead of sneaking across the border
or get to stump in the back of a truck

(15:13):
or whatever. I just I don't like. This is not
a good look. I don't like this idea.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
I agree, and those who go through the normal legal
immigration process are required to take civics lessons and learn
about the Constitution and the laws and norms of the
United States of America.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
I haven't heard anything about whether it just bringing five
million dollars to the table buys you around that obligation.
Is there any investigation into where that money came from?
Could a drug cartel lord with five ten gazillion dollars
under his in his pocket participate in the program like that?
Evil oligarchs from around the world, maybe a couple of

(15:52):
Russian five million dollar yacht owners or things like that.
I don't know, but conceptually I think it's a bad idea.
It sounds bad, The optics are bad. And I'm with
you one hundred percent, Tom on that one ohays cell
phone dropped. Hey Tom, I got you covered. Don't vote

(16:12):
It just got the SoundBite to cover that. I don't
know how you're going to parlay and attack on Trump's
policy there into a don't vote Democrat. But nonetheless, let's
see here. University of Cincinnati sent an alert yesterday saying
the police had to respond to a shooting near its campus.
Connie Pillage alert went out of eight twenty five, saying
police responding to emergency at Calhoun Street two forty nine

(16:35):
Calhoun Street to shelter in place since the police department,
speaking with Fox nineteen at the scene, said the thirty
year old man was shot in the chest and is
in critical condition only one. Police said they have one
person in custody related to the shooting, not yet clear
what led to it and no details on the person
in custody. Hometown hero program and Newport recently got some

(16:57):
unwanted online attention after some of the banners honoring military
members were taken down. Fox nineteen's Brenda or Donnaz reporting
growing weightless challenged by limited space. According to city Manager
John Hayden, they're adjusting the Hometown Heroes banner program that
started last year. According to Hayden, when the first ceremony

(17:18):
came this year, we removed just enough to put those
new ones, and as the second came in, other ones
came down, and that's the cycle they go on. Among
the banners recently came down, Jean Edward Wagner. His niece
Marcia Herringer, said Wagner nineteen was nineteen when he and
seventy seven other Navy sailors were lost serving on the

(17:41):
USS Pompino. Herringer said, I can understand needing to represent
other veterans. There's not room, there's not a pulse for
everyone to be represented at the same time. According to
Mayor Hayden, they said they need to meet three requirements
high visibility, proper infrastructure, and city own which creates limitation
on where they can place these banners as your local stories.

(18:04):
Just you have five thirty six fifty five ks detalk
station stack, Oh stupid coming up? Alternatively, I'd love to
hear from you. Maybe you got something on your mind
five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight
hundred eight two to three talk or pound five fifty
on AT and T phones and an opportunity to get
your car fixed for less imported cars and Tesla's. So
you got your traditionally imported car, you got a Tesla,

(18:25):
don't take it to the deal or because if it
needs to be service, you're gonna pay a lot more
money than you pay at foreign exchange. Or they're gonna
treat you great. You get an outstanding mechanic working on
your car as certified Master technician and be working on it.
You'll leave with a full warranty on parts and service
which will give you peace of mind and better yet,
from my perspective, you leave with more money in your pocket.
I've learned my lesson by going to foreign exchange for

(18:47):
years and years, and I've saved heap loads of money,
heap loads of money. Austin has assembled an amazing team
of not just the customer service folks, but the mechanics themselves.
That's the Westchester location, my local of choice when dealing
with foreign exchange. So take the Twlersville legs it off
of I seventy five head each, two streets hanging right
you are there. Find them online to learn more Foreign

KCP talk station. Very Happy Friday EVE to you relay
and what I thought was a rather mind blowing fact.

(19:30):
My son was out actually doing some dogs sitting for
my wife's niece out in California, and they have a
placed some outside of San Diego, so they flew him
out there just for the sole purpose of watching their dogs.
Kind of a vacation for him away from work, and
that was okay. He went to the San Diego Zoo
on his birthday. Joe, how much do you think it

(19:51):
costs get into San Diego Zoo? Oh, well, you're over right,
it was. It was actually seventy Joe, guest one hundred.
You're in the right ballpark, though, I guess forty seventy
dollars and one beer a single beer was twenty dollars.

(20:13):
That's your underboss, right anyway. They said everything was outrageously
expensive out there anyway, this tradition, amen, brother. Hey, I
got an article about the inflation data, which is great,
and then there's a separate article about inflation is much
higher in Democrat states and lower in Republican states. Anyways,

(20:39):
that can do. A man struggled with a DoorDash driver
DoorDash driver who showed up at the guy's home last
month and who police said was armed with a gun,
demanding a tip for a grocery delivery he made the
day before. Just a thank you, Joe. Anthony Veolino said
his daughter ordered one hundred dollars groceries to their home

(21:01):
through door Dash, using a snap card to pay next morning,
Belena said he was sitting down for breakfast with his
daughter and grandchildren when they heard a knock at the door.
Daughter got up to see who it was. The man
at the door said he was the DoorDash driver from
the day before and forgot to get his cash tip.
Fellina said he could hear the confusion and his daughter's

(21:22):
voice and got up to see what was going on.
He said his daughter told the driver she did not
have cash, but that she would go online to send
him a tip. Apparently, when you pay with Snap, you
can leave a tip. Isn't Snap food stamps Joe, So
the American taxpayer is paying for his food stamp delivery

(21:42):
and tips as well. Velena said the situation only escalated
from there. He said the driver, identified but police's fifty
nine year old Robert Delahant, stepped into the doorway refusing
to leave without getting money. Felena put his arm up
in the way and things got physical. Struggle, of course

(22:03):
captured on security camera. Lena has said, as we tussled,
you know, at that point he said, oh, it's going
to be like that, and he reached behind him. When
I saw him reach behind him, I knew he was
going for some kind of weapon. I wasn't going to
wait to find out what the weapon was. I reached
around him and ripped a handgun out of his waistband.

(22:25):
As soon as I had my hand on the gun,
as I stated previously, my heart just sank. Camera footage
captured what followed. A push sent the man to the ground.
Velina got ahold of the gun in the front yard,
told the man to leave, and told his daughter to
call the police. Officers arrested this Delahant guy shortly thereafter.
No one was hurt, thankfully, he said. Since this incident happened,

(22:48):
I found several incidents online door dash delivery driver's assaulting
people Detroit last year in Houston. I keep finding these
stories online. I haven't seen anything done about it as
it continues to happen. DoorDash fired the driver after the incident.
G thank you, and apparently DoorDash is not reached out

(23:09):
to Velina about what happened. Say he plans to improve
security at his home and encourages others using delivery service
to do the same.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
Yeah, idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Thank you, Eric, Eric,
just send me this and message damn my son works
security at the San Diego Zoo. I could have hooked
him up. Gotta know these things in advance, Eric, if
he plans on going back, I'll give you a shout thanks.

Speaker 2 (23:36):

This Thursday morning.

Speaker 9 (25:33):
One exception, well, I spound two seventy five, an accident
near Loveland has the right fling blocked off. Chuck Ingram
on fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Five fifty e eighty five KRC DE talk Station Happy Thursday.
I had some pretty uh I got to get it
out of my mind about hotel rooms and you know,
the the questionable sanity in a hotel room in the
context of a state banning the use of individual shampoo bottles,

(26:08):
so now they're going to replace those with larger bottles
with a pump, so multiple people have access to the
contents of the of whatever's being dispensed, whether it's soap
or shampoo conditioner, that kind of thing, lotion. Relate a
story about one of my fraternity brothers being a prankster
and filling his roommate's shampoo bottle with I believe it

(26:32):
was dishwashing detergent which made his hair like straw. So
just one of the things that can be adultered in
a hotel room. And with that in mind, I was
reminded of the pool bar and put In Bay when
I saw this article that Joe had found for the
stack of stupid put In Bay pool Bar. You know

(26:52):
you're waist deep in. There's a bar right there, and
oddly enough, as I was there, I noticed how the
chlorine smell was overwhelming, and my brown with Hawaiian yellow
flowered swim trunks actually faded there was so much chlorine
in the pool. I also noticed very few people actually

(27:12):
use the restrooms there at the pool bar.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
I know, I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
And with that we pivot over to article from Dayton,
Ohio Local twelve. Thank you. More than half Americans say
they use swimming pools as bath tubs, a statistic doctor
Premier with Premiere Health says can put you at a
health risk. Doctor Essa Alapat, chlorine is meant to kill
all the germs, she said. Diluting chlorine with added germs

(27:43):
makes it less effective. You know where I'm going. Apparently
you know the chlorine smell the greechy when you walk
up into the pool. Doctor Alipat said, I had something
rather unsettling quote. The odor that you smell in a
public pool is not the chlorine, but it's the chlorine
reacting with all the urine in the pool, a lot
of it, she said. To forty percent of adults admit

(28:05):
to urinating in the pool On average. She said there
is one to three ounces per person in the pool.
Is the water safe question mark? Doctor Alipet said most
of the bacteria from the urine is killed with a
few seconds. Bacteria from the other area can take up
to seven days to be killed. Means great as we
enter hot and human conditions. Tattoo artist in Illinois Peoria

(28:31):
facing charges after reportedly sending explicit messages to miners in
exchange for tattoos. What owner of Ink Capital in the
shops of Grand Prarie, Mario Davis, arrested earlier this week
charged with grooming, indecent solicitation of a child, disorderly conduct.
Pure Police say that the investigation sarning Davis started in

(28:52):
February after a concerned pro reported explicit messages being sent
to a minor. Search executed by police officers confirmed the
messages were from this Davis disorderly conduct added to his
charges after he filed a false police report and connection
with the investigation. He's been accused before of training a
listed pictures of minors four tattoos. Police have not revealed

(29:12):
the details surrounding the recent charges. They are in line
though with previous claims, including a woman who came forward
and stated that she went to Davis for a tattoo
when she was fifteen because she didn't know would require
pronal permission. The woman said the appointment book took a
negative turn when Davis allegedly wouldn't take no foreign answer
and he raped her. Same woman claim. Same woman claimed

(29:36):
that several years later, Davis created fake social media profile
and reached back out to her asking for sexual favors
in exchange for tattoo work. There's some twisted people in
the world. Oregon man fatally shot a mother of five

(29:56):
children at a drum circle event. Happened back in twenty
twenty two, now been convicted by a jury after a
one hour of deliberations. Molmau County District Attorney's Office announced
that Wyatt Storm Belcher twenty eight sentence by a judge
of money to life in prison with the possibility of
parl after twenty five years. Convicted by a jury of

(30:17):
second degree murder after jurors deliberated for an hour, as
I mentioned, found guilty of fatally shooting Ash Smith, thirty
one year old mom who was attending a drum circle
event in Portland. Documents stated that after the crowd was
gathered for the drum circle began to disperse. Multiple witnesses
heard allowed bang, saw the woman identified as Smith fall
to the ground. Onlookers say they rendered aid to her,

(30:38):
but who had a gunshot wound to the back of
her neck. Press release in the local district attorney. While
Smith didn't deserve Wyatt Belcher's senseless ambush, he did deserve
the compassion that the witnesses on the scene showed her
during her final moment. Port and police located Belcher after
several witnesses gave them a description of the gunman, who

(31:00):
still had the gun on him when they found him.
DA said his press release that Belcher racked the slide
on his gun and asked the Smith was dead, then
asked the witness if he wanted to be shot as well.
They say it was a completely random act.

Speaker 5 (31:16):

T phones to the phones.

Speaker 11 (33:01):
We go.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Always enjoy hearing from what's said. Jim, good to hear
from you.

Speaker 12 (33:06):
Jim, good morning, Brian. By the way, elections have consequences.
And when you're talking about Connie privilege, I mean pillage. Jeez,
I got the names mixed up there, didn't I. I
think what she was doing was basically inviting people Saturday
to not have any issues if they get arrested locally,

(33:30):
that they're basically going to give the revolving door and
there won't be any consequences if there's any kind of
a problem downtown or on the outlining areas on that
national basically an event to go against Trump and immigration. Yeah,

(33:52):
I think that she is basically sending a signal She's
about the most incompetent person that I've seen in politics
for a long long time. And to come out and
open up her pie hole on something like this for
a subject and not she didn't even have the guts
to mention his name.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Well, I don't think there's any question she was referring
to Trump, right, But is the is the no King's
dating nationwide Day of Defense, which she's going to be
participating in. Is encouraging people to show up on Is
it about Donald Trump? Is it about illegal immigration? Is
it about medicaid cuts? I mean, what the hell is
it about? They never really specifically identify anything. Or is

(34:32):
it about every leftist agenda item, including you know, global
warming or climate change and all that LGBTQ plus agenda. Yeah,
if you're pissed off, show up.

Speaker 12 (34:47):
She's opened up a giant pot and and anything that
she could throw in there rather than make a lengthier
subject on Facebook on her her personal account, by the way, yeah,
shows how ignorant she really is. I mean, you know, basically,
like I said, she's just opening up the fact that

(35:08):
you can come down or go out wherever these are
health and if you break a window, take a TV
or take some gym shoes or now it's cell phones
and everything else, that you're not going to be prosecuted.
Do you think that's the case, because I think it's
the case.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Well, you know, the funny thing is, and you know
people just tuning into like what the hell are they
talking about? Let me just real quick, Jim, because you
got more to say. Let me just read the statement
because it's not very long, but it is insightful. What's
on my mind. My job is to prosecute people who
commit crimes, from minor infractions to horrible offenses, which I'll
pause and interject him suggests that if you do commit

(35:45):
a violent act I don't know, King's nationwide day of defiance,
she will hold you accountable. That remains to be seen,
because of course the event hasn't happened yet. We'll see
if it's peaceful or mostly peaceful. Anyway, she went on,
and here's the part that we all have offence with,
or any sane person would. But all this is against
the backdrop of such unconstitutional lawlessness at the federal level

(36:08):
by an incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated jackal who threatens our
very democracy every day, even worse, he is backed up
by vile humans whose acts and advice indicate they want
to destroy our democracy. Please join me Saturday, talk about
divisive talk about stirring the pot.

Speaker 12 (36:29):
Well, maybe she threw that federal word in her by mistake,
but I think she was just talking about the local
politics that's sung in cheek Pine.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
I know that I'm sitting here thinking, wait a second,
is there a Republican in Hamilton County? No, not anymore,
at least not an elected capacity.

Speaker 12 (36:48):
When I read that thing and I sent it to you,
I didn't know if you saw it before I sent
it to you, it just it amazed me that we,
not we the people on the left for the most part,
elected somebody over Melissa Hours who would have never ever
written something this idiotic and childish. It just it just

(37:09):
it really pos me off that that we have to have,
you know, anywhere from four to eight years of somebody
like this that's going to prosecute we're not the same
as some of the judges.

Speaker 5 (37:20):
Yeah or not, that's the best term right there.

Speaker 12 (37:25):
We'll find out Saturday. I don't know, you know, Mark Twain,
with that Cincinnati ten years behind, we might see protests
a week later than usual because the word might not
get out, and I don't I really don't think the
people here in town are gonna, you know, get together.
You might, you might see the same bunch of loons
down there of twenty four people sitting in front of

(37:46):
city hall at a courthouse, But other than that, I
don't think they're going to see any kind of a
mass demonstration by you know, the people in Cincinnati. I
think she's just trying to jet up so there would
be a lot.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
Of on the national news.

Speaker 12 (38:00):
Maybe it's for her self campaign down the road. I
have no idea why she would do something this stupid.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
I don't either, but the the leftist obviously have her ear,
and she is in a position of prominence, so her
support of this. Perhaps she was egged on to make
some sort of statement in an effort to get more
people to show up to these rallies. But you know,
you're right about about people showing up, and it's interesting
because they're all over the place in downtown Union Township,

(38:29):
lovel and Mason West Sister or Hamilton, Middletown, UH and Oxford.
I just wonder, you know, given the number, the percentage
of people who are likely to show up at one
of these. It's I kind of like my point on
out in LA with it with a greater LA community
of twelve point seven million, almost thirteen million people, you
have several thousand show up. That's a very small segment

(38:51):
of the population. But they were all in one concentrated
area going after the ice folks. Now, if you have
a multiple of these, no King's rally spread out all
over the place, maybe not one of them will look
like anybody's interested in going because the numbers are watered down.
Which one you're going to go to. I'm going to
go to the one in Cincinnai. I'm going to go
to the one in the Middletown. So the total number

(39:12):
of people spread out over you know, eight ten locations
may water down the optics they're hoping for. Oh no,
I don't know, Jim.

Speaker 12 (39:20):
Well. The last thing on this is, I don't know
if something would happen and it would be a skirmish
and say a police officer or any any first responder
would get hurt on this deal and it would happen
to hit national news. Now that this goes in every city,
I wonder if she can be you know, I don't
want to say prosecuted, because she'd be doing that herself,

(39:41):
of course, and that's a tongue in cheek laughter there,
but she'd be inciting the fact that she's inviting people
to do.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
This and kind of one of these things.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
There's no prosecutable offense in saying what she said. It's
just an illustration of how stupid she is, because that's
the point of free speech, as long as there's an
opportunity for additional speech to happen, and in between the
what you might perceive to be illegal speech or prohibited
speech that allows for that to happen. It's like going
back to the Brandenburg case and made it to the
Supreme Court from here in Hamilton County. You got a

(40:12):
racist KKK member talking about killing black people and he
was prosecuted for it, when all the way up to
the Supreme Court, and Supreme Court pointed out, no, you
got a First Amendment right to say whatever you want,
as terrible and vile as it may be, as long
as there's an opportunity for the public to talk about it,
communicate with it, and sort of negate what you might
argue is an imminent threat. What she says is just

(40:33):
an attack on basically Donald Trump and the people who
work with him. It's not a call for violence. I
know that she's inciting it. She is inviting people to
show up at these events where things get out of control.
I mean, Nancy Pelosi pointed out, you know, you get
anarchists who view these rallies as an opportunity to engage
in violence. That's the point, and that's exactly your point

(40:54):
about someone in law enforcement getting hurt. What they're looking
for is the reverse of that. They want law enforcement
to hurt someone that is so called activists or exercising
the right to free speech. That's what incites the violence,
and that's what they feed off of, see George Floyd.
So as long as law enforcement doesn't hurt anybody in

(41:15):
the group and only goes after people who are committing
criminal acts, then you don't have that problem. What they're
looking for is an excuse to really riot in the
streets in the name of going after the evil, vile
law enforcement, which is ultimately an act against the status quo.
It's an act against the stability of our nation, which

(41:36):
is you know, as one commentator pointed out, a Bolshevik
style revolution is what's happening right now.

Speaker 12 (41:43):
Incredible, That's that's the only word I can think of
for something like how stupid this thing is. And again
I started out with elections have consequences. Well, here's the
main topic right now. And she's just getting started. It's
just going to get worse because, like I said, she's
just incompetent and she doesn't know what the hell she's doing.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Well, I firmly believe that. But isn't it so sad
Jim in a comment on elections having consequences that she
didn't even run a campaign. She pulled a total Joe Biden,
didn't go out, didn't campaign, and she just realized that Listen,
Hamilton County is all full blue. Now, all I need
to do is put my name on the ballot. I've
got a recognizable name for my prior time in politics.

(42:24):
I'll get elected.

Speaker 13 (42:26):
I say it.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
It is said.

Speaker 12 (42:29):
To get works on that one. I mean, we don't
hold any offices, and we've we've got people that actually,
you know, sign up to go out and get elected,
but it just doesn't just doesn't work anymore. I'm close
enough to see the fights that we try to do
and when on election day comes around that blue ticket.
Just people were just taking those and going right down

(42:50):
the line.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
I know it, I know it. I mean I keep
praying and hoping, maybe against hope, that sometime at some
point people will wake up. Democrats have been in controlled
the city since for about four decades now, and look
where it's gotten us. You know it's not vote Corey Bowman.
He's got an uphill battle, man exactly, He's got an
uphill battle. Take care of Jim. I appreciate the opportunity

(43:13):
to engage in discourse with you, which is the beauty
of free speech. And I would argue to vite of
the fifty five caresy morning, shure, we'll engage in free
speech with William. William, if you're kind enough to hold
for a moment here, I want to let function know
about every federal credit union. If you're in the market
for a new car, maybe you've got a car and
you want to refinance your auto loan, they got one
percentage point off the auto rate. But you know also,
and I was not aware of this, emory, federal credit

(43:35):
union will allow you to use your car as collateral
to secure funds for something else. With this one percentage
point off the auto loan rate that they're offering, so
you know it's collateral, so you go ahead and take
advantage of that alternatively apply today. It's a litmit of time. Offer.
Loans are subject to approval, of course they are, and
always restrictions will apply, and they do. You got to

SHY six twenty three. If you have krcity Talk station

Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 13 (45:35):
Hi, good morning, my fellow FOMA survivor's friend.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Thank you very much you having Oh got sorry, no,
just go ahead. I don't need to interject my comments.
I want to hear what you have to say, William.

Speaker 13 (45:48):
Sorry, Oh well, I don't know if you discussed this already,
but I was wondering about the post law and the
Marines in Los Angeles. Have you mentioned that at all?

Speaker 11 (45:59):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Theres a pollitano without mentioning posse comment Tatis kind of
hit on it the other day during our discussion about
the propriety of sending in the National Guard because they're
not there to enforce state law, and I think he
was kind of dancing around the idea that's what they
were doing, but no, they were there to protect ice
agents and federal property. So I was drawing a distinction

(46:20):
and making an argument against what his conclusions were. And
so that if you want to listen to that podcast,
I encourage people to do so, because I thought was
an interesting back and forth. We he and I didn't
agree ultimately, but we didn't specifically focus on the Marines
and possecommatatus William, but his legitimate argument. Okay, well, oh
happy to William. Stick to the fight, Stick to that fight,

(46:42):
and uh, you know, to Timothy. Timothy has sent me
this interesting text on the heels of Connie Pillach's and me,
you know, rereading what her just vile statement he said,
if counter demonstrators show up at these No Kings nationwide
day of Defiance and a kerfuffle ensues his words, I

(47:03):
can only imagine that the Maga folks will be arrested
and not the No King's crowd. Considered the Facebook post
from Connie Pillage, would that not be evidence of prosecutorial bias?
Now it is evidence of prosecutor prosc bias potentially, But
looking at the individual act, if a Maga person actually
committed a criminal act that would result in arrest or

(47:25):
issuance of a citation and prosecution, that incident exists in
and of itself. You go to court, you get a lawyer,
and you are in front of a jury or a judge,
and the trier of fact decides whether or not the
prosecutor has met all the elements of a crime and
whether there's guilty on a reasonable doubt. Now that would
exist whether or not she's pro Maga or anti Maga.

(47:48):
So you can't hold up her statement in that court
room and say, look, this is bias. And you can
try to make the argument, well, they didn't arrest this
person or that person, because those all those facts regard
whether or not there was arrest exist independently. Do they
constitute a crime that should have resulted in a citation.
You know, there's a whole lot of complicated layers going

(48:10):
on into that, but ultimately, any prosecution for a criminal
act must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. So are
there facts and elements there to prove someone did a
criminal act? All I would say is listen, if you're there,
don't do anything that could result in your arrest. Period.
Don't give them an opportunity. They're looking and hoping and

(48:33):
praying that law enforcement overreacts, that there is an arrest,
or someone gets hurt by law enforcement, so they can
use that as a further effort to go out and
riote and protest in the street. So I would just
say a call for calm, which I would say, in
all circumstances, you can make your voice heard without engaging

(48:54):
in acts of violence. And most notably, I'm considering the
last Justice Department talked about all this right wing violence
and oh my god, the terrorism. They called every single
January sixth protester a terrorist, and given that there were
fifteen hundred or so of those there, that allowed them
to boost their numbers of so called right wing terrorists.

(49:15):
Now you are your own conclusion as to whether that
was an act of terrorism entering the Capitol building or
walking around after being invited to come in by the
federal authorities who were standing there, or the Capitol police.
But I think the reality is, at least in the
perception of hearts and minds of most of my listening
audience and me included, is that most of the violence

(49:35):
is coming from either one absolutely backcrap crazy people or
leftist of some sort. I mean who through the molotov cocktail.
The police department now facing charge of attempted murder an
illegal immigrant in our country at a rally protesting the

(49:55):
deportation of illegal immigrants. Now categorize that as you will.
But the motive is obvious, and the act of violence
is obvious, and it wasn't a right wing motivation. Six
twenty seven, Jay, hang on, I take your call please.
Uh First, so affordable imaging services. I was there just
two days ago. Got another CT scan. Yeah, my night
sweats are back, so I know what's going to happen.

(50:16):
I'm gon end up in treatment. But the CT scan
will confirm or not the status of my lymph nodes
in connection with my lymphoma. So that's what you do.
You go and you get one, and you don't go
to the hospital to do it because the hospital is
going to charge you five thousand dollars or maybe a
separate bill for the Board certified radiologist report, which your
doctor needs. Somebody's got to interpret the images I did.

(50:37):
It's basically mine was two separate CT scans, so my
total was twelve hundred bucks. I had contrasts, so there's
six hundred dollars as scan, same equipment to the hospital
you use, run by medical professionals who have been at
this for years and years and years. So your ultrasound
can cost you two grand at a hospital, it's only
two hundred and fifty bucks. Affordable imaging echo cardiogram. Go ahead,
wait around for a month. This is your hearted issue. Here,

(50:57):
they'll get you right in and affordable and it's only
five hundred dollars with that. An enhancement eight hundred fifth
could cost you thirty five hundred to a hospital, So
don't do that. Very low overhead, but everything else is
basically exactly the same as you get at the hospital.
Five one three seven, five three eight thousand. You have
a choice. Exercise it five one three seven, five, three
eight thousand online, It's Affordable Medimaging dot com fifty five KRC.

Your morning Expresso starts right here.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
It's the Sean Hannity Morning Minute.

Speaker 15 (51:29):
He's bringing back manufacturing that Obama said would never come
back and Biden said would never come back, come back,
and they never tried to bring back. I mean, we're
now going to manufacture our own pharmaceuticals or our own
semiconductor chips. We're bringing back automobile manufacturing. That's going to
be you know, massive for American workers. The Republican Party

(51:51):
needs to be the party of working men and women
that represents the majority of Americans, the people that get
up every day, work there well fourteen sixteen hours, raise
their kids, take them to their sports, beat them, studdy
with them, go to you know, crash and go to bed,
get up and do it all over again.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Take their kids to church on Sunday.

Speaker 8 (52:12):
To the Sean Hannity Show from Coast to coast later today.

Speaker 15 (52:20):
Hey, Sean Hannity here. You know I've been buying precious metals.
Somebody gave me great advice. I'm so grateful every day
that I did, and I've been doing it for decades.
Every paycheck I get, no matter what I put aside,
a portion of money to diversify into precious metals now,
especially during uncertain times remember the two thousand and eight
financial crisis. Who do I choose to make my gold

(52:40):
and silver purchases with? What company do I now use?
Who do I trust?

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Well?

Speaker 15 (52:45):
I've been partnering with a great company for three years.
I am a customer the company called gold Co. Gold
Coal will send you right now well free twenty twenty
five gold and silver kit to learn more about diversifying
with precious metals now. This kit from old Co has
been a huge help to me. I think you'll learn
a valuable lesson. You'll also learn about their unlimited bonus

(53:06):
silver offer. You're not gonna want to miss out. All
you have to do is call no Obligation eight five

I'll go to the website Hannitigold dot com.

the talk station.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
Six Happy Thursday. A lot of rumors swirling around on
the internet. How did the bricks get delivered to the
protest out in La Are the bricks being delivered to
the other protest going on against the illegal immigration or deportation. Jay,
thanks for holding Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 16 (54:45):
Hey, thanks Brian, perfect timing about the bricks being delivered.
And you know, here we go again, and it's all
a little too scripted for my.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Case, orchestrated.

Speaker 16 (54:55):
Yes, So I think that there's a really good chance
that our side could also get involved with the No
King's rally and go down there and put scripts in
their hands, give them signs that say something like end
the interstate commerce clause and judicial review and rogue judges,
you know, go after the three billion dollars slush fund

(55:19):
that the wine has up in Columbus that nobody knows
how it's funded, nobody knows what he's going to spend
it on. But there's you know, no way to lower
property taxes. So I think we could get a hold
of that crowd that's bought and paid for and probably
not all that educated, and infiltrate it. And I don't
think it would take much effort at all to get
them chanting and moving in the right direction, you know.

(55:40):
Other than the bricks, we've got to try to get
the bricks out of their hand. But I think our
side is for no judges too. We just got to
help them get the messaging right.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Yeah, you know, the only problem is you mentioned, and
I think the key to all this is that they're
not well educated. They're not capable of applying logic in
reason and thoughtful critical analysis to the to the causes
they are supporting. And there in lies the challenge. If
you show up with logic and reason and you try
to explain to them why X, Y or Z is

(56:12):
wrong and why the Republicans or Trump or at least
a little libertarian folks like myself are on the right
side of the ledger. That's going to require an engaging,
thoughtful discussion. You're not going to get them to do that.
You're not. You're going to be screamed that.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
These are just zombies.

Speaker 13 (56:27):
Brian.

Speaker 16 (56:28):
That's even tempt at I would hang a sign around
their neck, but you don't put the sandwich board on
them and point them in the right direction, because that's
all that They're there for a paycheck. So you doe
if Arsas side shows up like we're in charge and
tell them what to say and what sign to wear.

Speaker 10 (56:43):
I just wonder if they'd do it.

Speaker 3 (56:44):
I think they would without any question.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
I'm not going to suggest it's a bad idea for
a moment. I'm just telling you got a sisaphy and
challenge in doing it, because again you need to it
requires thoughtful debate and discussion. And they're just going to
scream and call you names. They're not willing to listen.
I mean, I've seen so many of these protests, and
I've engaged with so many people who immediately default to anger,
curse words and yelling and screaming. It's like a child

(57:10):
holding holding his ears closed and going they don't want
to hear it.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Yeah, they're just paid actors.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Cognitive dissonance part of them are those are the coordinators,
and they're probably more educated and more familiar with their
Marxist loyalties than the useful idiots that will show up
without a paycheck to parrot their nonsense. A lot of
people being controlled out there, there's no question about it.
And social media is a huge component of this, Jay,

(57:37):
a massive component of this. Without social media, you wouldn't
see a lot of these protests. Just easy to organize
useful idiots these days. I appreciate it, Jay, I really,
and I'm not against your concept. I'm just pointing out
it's an uphill battle. This is something we've been talking

so up up at the top of the our news,
followed by Bob Wetterer. There's a tower lighting ceremony. He's
wants everybody to show up at the brand new water

get those done. And it's on Flag Day where I

(01:00:30):
will be attending a ceremony and Union semme in a
Union township to celebrate the appropriate way to retire a flag.
Flag retirement ceremony. I always enjoyed doing that. I've been
doing it for more than a decade. I think it's
a great ceremony involving the Boy Scouts and members of
the local community. So try to find something positive to
do on Flag Day. Oh and Drew Andrew Bappis, former

(01:00:53):
Anderson Township trustee, trust posted a reposted a post from
Representative Anapoliona Luna, if you're planning on going to the
No King's nationwide Day of Defiance, regardless of which level
of defiance or which area of defiance you're showing up
for at She says on June fourteenth that we protests
across the country that are backed by a communist group
with ties to the CCP Chinese Communist Party. These groups

(01:01:16):
are using ICE protests as a ruse maga. Do not
show up in gear. If you do attend and witness
illegal activity, record faces and license plates, we will ask
you to submit footage information of the FBI and in
all caps, she says, this is orchestrated, and yeah it is.
There's all kinds of information out there behind who's funding
this and Senator Josh Hally's actually launched an investigation regarding

(01:01:39):
the funding, specifically one group, the Coalition for Human Immigration
Rights CHIRWA, which is a left wing pro illegal immigration
group who has been funding and facilitating these anti ICE protests.
There was a recent expose by an investigative account as
Data Republican, but they had the documents and they identified

(01:02:04):
multiple nonprofit organizations with political fronts playing a role in
igniting the chaos which resulted in the violence inherent against
the violence or in the violence of Los Angeles and
spreading this Turla group. They their funding went from twelve
million dollars to thirty four million dollars in one year,

(01:02:27):
mostly from government grants, including you the American tax payerl
though the majority of it came from the state of California.
They apparently have identified photos from the scene of the
riots showing these Turla linked materials and professionally printed signs
that go trace back to the Party for Socialism and

(01:02:48):
Liberation PSL, which is a Chinese communist operating group here
in the United States. Yeah, splittersices haul your q TRAILOA
of providing financial and logistical support for this unrest if
you want to call it that. Saying quote bankrolling civil
unrest is not protected speech. It is aiding and abouting

(01:03:10):
criminal conduct. And they could end up with a reco
charge against them. If you can show evidence two or
more people working in concerts criminal activities, then they they
would fall right into RICO. That's what it takes to
get into RICO. And it'd be nice that the Department
of Justice did look into this, because, yeah, if they're
suggesting or telling people they need to get there and here,

(01:03:31):
by the way, we're gonna unload a pile of bricks.
Draw your own conclusions why we're providing bricks for an
unruly mob anyway. The Senators demanding preservation and production of
a whole bunch of records internal communications, emails, texts, chat logs,

a communication between Churla and Connie Pilich outreach the local
members of an elected capacity to call the Trump administration incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated. Well,
specifically with regard to Jonald Trump, she called him a

Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs, the talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
At six fifty fifty five kars, the talk station Friday Eve,
Dave Williams and the Taxpayer Protection lines up after the
top of the r and news looking forward to having
imback on the program as always. So you know this
weekend thing, the new kings nationwide data defiance, and they
keep going, what is it all about? What is it
all about? What is it all about? Well, look at
all the areas of division. The seeds of division have

(01:07:30):
been sown, and they have been, you know, bubbling and
percolating now for years. And you got to remember a
lot of the outside folks that do not like the
United States, a Chinese Communist Party, for example, as one
this Coalition for Humane Immigrant and Rights pick your topic though,
is it free Palestine, anti Israel? That's is that one

(01:07:53):
that stirs your pod? LGBT, go on with the letters
solid with that one. Is that an issue that you
want to protest about? Black Lives Matter, defund police, Antifa?
The immigrant issue obviously is one that's behind a lot
of the protests in LA allowing men to play in
women's sports, pursuing the woke Dei ideology. I mean, all

(01:08:19):
of these little separate areas designed to divide. And there
was a referred to as a renowned attorney named Larry
Claim and apparently he's written a lot made a prediction
at US Watchdog that there would be the ultimate legal
war against Donald Trump. He predicted that now that the
two hundred and seventy two cases fought against the Trump administration,

(01:08:42):
so he was accurate in that one. He also predicted
that the rabid left violence would explode, and of course
he hit the nail out or hit the ball to
the park with the LA riots. But you know, that's
something that even I predicted. But what he wrote, and
this I believe is absolutely true, he said, we knew
this was coming. This is more than an insurrection, it's

(01:09:04):
a Bolsheviks style revolution. It's not just Bolsheviks, but it's
every conceivable leftist radical group. And see that's my point.
Remember remember back in the sixties the Vietnam War protesters
where they joined with the environmentalists and they created the
kind of this, this coalition of leftists. This is financed

(01:09:26):
undoubtedly by people like George Soros. Yeah, and uh you
also have you know the popping served with the Chinese
Communist Party. You have this, uh, this this Turla organization
Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights, which gets taxpayer dollars to fund. It's,
you know, undermining of America. There's a whole litany of
folks out there with lots of money. I knew the

(01:09:48):
heiress to the Walmart uh stores is also contributing to
these leftist groups. I mean, the list is endless. And
he points out he said, you know, the mayor of
Los Angeles is being used the think in my mind
of Connie Pillach in this insane and vile comments that
she posted on social media the other day. Just one
more person in elected capacity who is also what I

(01:10:10):
would characterize as a useful idiot. He writes. They want
there to be some kind of tragedy in this particular case,
He says, in La they want there to be some
kind of Kent state where someone gets killed. And see,
he's echoing the point that I made to somebody the
other day. You know, why don't we get a sniper
out there, and if someone's engaging in violence, it could

(01:10:30):
be a threat to human life, you pick them off.
I said, No, that's exactly what they want. You can't
engage in that kind of you know, law enforcement mechanism
because that feeds into what they want. They want some
tragedy that they can hold out like George Floyd, to
provide them with an excuse to be violent in the streets,

(01:10:52):
violence which probably won't be prosecuted. Maybe under the Trump
Trump administration Department of Justice it would, but certainly didn't
happen und the Biden administration did it. He said, They
want one of these protesters to be killed by the
National Guard, by the military. This will be a flash
point to carry forth this Bolshevik revolution. Now you may
think that he's gone, well, he's gone overboard, he's gone overboard,

(01:11:12):
But no, that's the goal here. It's the dream. Anything
to dismantle us, anything to bring us down as we
approach Flag Day, the symbol of freedom, the gift of America,
freedom that allows people to articulate a different belief about

(01:11:33):
what government is or should be. I don't have any
problem I am. You know, if you want to go
out and scream and yell and you think illegal immigrants, criminal,
otherwise should be allowed to remain in our country, You're
entitled to do that. That's America, that's freedom, and that
their desires are something that is the antithesis threat to democracy.

(01:11:55):
It keeps screaming about that. Who's a greater threat to democracy?
Someone who wants you to be able to be free
under the limitations on the government that the Constitution has
in place, including the freedom of speech, which says the
government can't dictate what you speak. Or someone who wants
you to have only one message and to have all
other messages excluded. Again illustrated by the Biden administration on

(01:12:17):
a variety of topics, COVID nineteen immediately comes to mind.
You know, you're allowed to say COVID nineteen was created
in a Chinese communist lab. We all know it was now,
But when you said it back then, boy, you are
just docs. In effect, you're allowed in this country to
express skepticism about the COVID nineteen vaccine, and we had

(01:12:40):
some doctors lose their license over doing just that. Who's
a threat to democracy? And that's just one topic? And
it isn't it odd in a democratic society or in
a free society. I want to say the I this

(01:13:01):
idea of legacy media used to be what we call
the mainstream media, but that they're all lockstep messaging one agenda,
which is a leftist agenda, and that you know it
used to be that Fox News was fringe. Notice a
step in the right direction. Who's dominating the news cycles.

(01:13:24):
Who's got the absolute, far and away best ratings when
compared to the obvious far left news outlets like CNN
or MSNBC. It's Fox. So you know your strength is
much greater than you might perceive it to be. And
as always point out, the squeaky wheel gets the grease,
it gets the attention, The violence draws the cameras. The

(01:13:46):
violence to what gets the clicks, providing a perception that
their message and their belief systems are stronger and more
widespread than yours. And I'm here to tell you, I,
in my heart of hearts. I think that's wrong. I
think most Americans want safety and security, a strong law
enforcement presence, and they want to have control over the borders,

(01:14:08):
because ultimately, control over the borders and who's allowed in
our country and the numbers of people has a profound
impact on what so many people on the left rely upon,
and that's the social welfare safety net, which is collapsing
under the weight of humanity and the number of people
that are placing on it. Six fifty seven fifty five

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
I know it wasn't on your list day, but we
got a new uh it was, Oh, it was I
want to Dave. You're a tax paying human being, are
you not?

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Yes, you do pay.

Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
You pay federal taxes on behalf of the city of Cincinnati.

Speaker 13 (01:14:59):
Dave.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
I want to thank you for the labor that you
engaged in that's generated you money that they took from
your paycheck to help fund the Cincinnati Streetcar. The city
council voted unanimously to accept a quarter of a million
dollar grant from the Federal Transit Administration to upgrade technology
behind the signs that show writers information about when the

(01:15:21):
street car is going to actually show up. Now, they
actually had the signs already in place, but they haven't
had any accurate for accurate information more than a couple
of years because apparently it didn't hook up with the GPS.
They didn't know whether the streetcar was at any given time,
so they couldn't let writers who were standing at the
streetcar stops know when the train was actually going to
show up. That's going to change now, Oh goodie, goodie, goodie.

(01:15:42):
So appreciate your share the quarter of a million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
You know, I do have a comment, but I don't
think the FCC would be too happy.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
Oh my nineteenth year in radio, Dave. I struggle with
that every single day because I can have a rather
saucy tongue when I'm not on the air. So I've
been able to maintain control without slip up. Knock Wood.
There is no wood in my studio, but we'll pretend
we're knocking wood and to not jinx me that I

(01:16:11):
don't drop an FCC non compliant word anyway. On your
list of topics, find David Protecting Taxpayers dot or great site.
He's looking out for the American taxpayer dollar. Is Trump
pursuing free and fair trade? And you answer your own
question in the reporting by David McGarry, No, what I

(01:16:33):
know Trump had some It sounded like some measure of
success with China and rare earth minerals the other day.
But where are we on fair and free trade? And
what's the story behind this one?

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Dave Williams, It is so convoluted, so mixed up, because
one day the terrorists are on, the next day of
the terrifs are off, and it's providing so much economic
uncertainty to businesses, to consumers. And Brian, I have a
new theory and I've been thinking about this a lot.
Is that Donald Trump when he ran his businesses, he

(01:17:05):
negotiated with a lot of different people. Right, this was
done behind closed doors. But this is what you do
as a businessman. They say this is going to cost
X to build this building. You say, well, I want
to cost why? You know, waggle then X?

Speaker 4 (01:17:19):
You haggle. Absolutely, he did it in private.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
These he's haggling in public now, and the market is
freaking out because they see one hundred and fifty five
percent tariff on China one day, thirty percent, the next
day fifty five and businesses don't know what to do.
Do we buy goods from China? What happens if it's
halfway over here and the tariffs increase? And again, I

(01:17:44):
like the fact that he's negotiating, but you can't do
that on the world market and not expect some sort
of repercussions like this, and the market listen, don't pay
attention to the market because it's going to be a
pretty safe bet, right, it's going to go up, it's
going to go down. But I think the economic uncertainty
that businesses are like do I invest to invest money

(01:18:05):
to expand what do I do? So I think there
in line is a problem with what he's doing that's
so public.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Yeah, and I couldn't agree with you more. You need
to be able to plan. You need something concrete on
the table, whether it's you know, whether you prefer something
different or not. At least you know the cards that
you have been dealt and can play them accordingly. I mean,
if someone you know in the middle of a poker
game was able to take three of your cards and
then give you three different ones. I mean, how can
you bet and anticipate what's coming up? And I mean

(01:18:33):
it's just I get that. It's like the tax rate.
What's the tax rate going to be? You know, and
businesses worry about that, But once it's in place, regardless
of what the tax is, at least they can plan accordingly. No,
we won't be investing this much this year because my
taxes went up. Yes, we will be investing more in
our business this year because the taxes went down. That
makes its planning. Everybody needs some measure of stability to

(01:18:55):
do that, and there's really literally no stability in this
whole mess.

Speaker 3 (01:18:59):
And you know, Brian, you make a really good point
about the tax rate, because the one of the tax
rates that they locked in in twenty seventeen was the
corporate tax rate at twenty one percent. Now, a lot
of things are going to expire at the end of
this year if they don't pass this one big, beautiful bill.
But what the one thing that did they did lock
in because they knew that you have to have this,

(01:19:19):
you know, tax certainty was the twenty one percent corporate
tax rate. So Congress has acknowledged this is that businesses
need this long term planning.

Speaker 4 (01:19:28):
So you're absolutely right, yep.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
Well, and you know that's one of the things that
I hate the phrase big beautiful bill. Every time I
say it, I just it's just, you know, okay, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
A little piece of your soul is taken away.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
I know, I know, I know, because you know, there's
a lot of it that I consider not beautiful. But
you know, there is some great things and there are
some great things in it. But this serves to illustrate
the point when they did the twenty seventeen tax cuts,
which I think we're great and we're good for the
economy generally speaking, and since they took less of my money,
I feel better about it because I'm not paying for
stuff I don't want to pay, at least not as
much they set to expire. I mean, why didn't they

(01:20:05):
just lock him in then permanently and then for some
other Congress down the road to have to raise our taxes. See,
this is what irks me about Congress is these deadlines
in there that undo what has been done, which creates
this uncertainty and instability out there every X number of years.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
Well, and the spending increases are never some set there's
never an exploration for this spending increases. It's always the
tax guys. And listen, this is something we've been talking
about for years. Is that everyone saw this deadline coming up,
and Congress said, oh, we have plenty of time, We
have plenty of time. And you know, here we are
June of twenty twenty five, and we have six months

(01:20:44):
left to get this done. And now we're being force
fed this bill that has tax.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
Increases in it. I mean, there are tax increases. You
have the endowment tax.

Speaker 3 (01:20:54):
And listen, Trump is going after Harvard, He's trying to
get more money from Harvard in these lefty places. Is
the problem is our right wing endowments that are going
to get hit by this tax. Right now it's one
point four percent, it's going to go to twenty one percent.
So Hilldale College, a lot of these conservative organizations now
are going to get a tax increase in this in

(01:21:17):
this bill. I'm not going to say the full name anymore,
but through this legislation they're going to get a tax increase,
which is counterintuitive and counterproductive.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
Yeah, and you know I certainly understand wanting to go
after Harvard. I mean, it's just it has gone so
full on brainwashy left that I don't even understand how
it can be an institution has any value anymore. They've
undermined the value of the name that they've built up
over so many years.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
Yeah, and again, you know they're bringing in other people
now and these other tax increases.

Speaker 4 (01:21:49):
I don't know if you've seen this, the remittance tax.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
Now, if you send money overseas, you will now all
have to pay three and a half percent. Now, what
there's saying is, but if you're an American, then you'll
get the money back at the end of the year
through a tax refund. So let's say you send money
overseas for whatever reason. My wife is from El Salvador.
She sends money to her mom, right, and she's been

(01:22:14):
a US citizen for twenty twenty five years. Well, you're
gonna have to prove that you're an American citizen.

Speaker 4 (01:22:19):
The banks don't track this.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
The banks have no idea what you if you're legal,
if you're you know what your status is in this country.
So the bank is going to have to charge you this.
They're going to raise their fees to charge you this
three point five percent. Now, if you are filing your
taxes and use the standard deduction.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
Yeah, you can no longer do that.

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
You now have to itemize if you are sending money overseas.
It's it's it's unnecessary. It's an unnecessary thing for to
be in this bill.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
Well, I'm sure maybe that was something the accounting industry
was behind, because if everybody has this now start itemizing,
there's going to be more accountants fired filed because you know,
you can just easily take the ten thousand dollars to
just call it a day. Plus you have to keep
receipts too. So any one of the things that I
was unhappy about the Republicans that they capitulated the Democrat

(01:23:11):
States and raising the salt to forty thousand dollars, something
the Senate may very well undo. I know they're having
conversations about that. I had Congressman Thomas Massey on yesterday
talking about what it would take to get him to
vote for it, since he was one of the few
Republicans voted no. And he said, well, if the Senate
puts that back to ten thousand dollars and does a
couple of other things. He said, I'll embrace it, but

(01:23:33):
you know, he was a He's an absolute, outright no
on that, and I certainly understand it. It's a gift
to the high tax Democrat states. They're the ones that
raise the taxes so much that they think they need
that forty thousand dollars that increase or they're thirty thousand
dollars increase.

Speaker 3 (01:23:47):
And this effects a very small portion of the country.
We're talking about California and New York, the states that
have been less fiscally responsible with their spending and with
their taxes.

Speaker 4 (01:24:01):
That's that's who's going to benefit from this.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
So if you are Florida, Texas and you're fiscally responsible,
you're pain for other people's high taxes.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
And it just it doesn't make sense. But this is
what I'm using.

Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
The air quotes here was negotiated by the House to
get these moderate Republicans to vote for it. And you know,
the deficit, we see increased deficits, spending, we see a
debt ceiling that's going to be increased. I mean, President
Trump doesn't want a debt ceiling. He says we shouldn't have.

Speaker 4 (01:24:29):
A death fool. Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
I mean, talk about any sort of a side of
ciscal responsibility.

Speaker 4 (01:24:35):
Is out the window.

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
I mean, if you have no debt ceiling, I mean, listen,
it's not stopping them now. The debt ceiling is not
stopping them.

Speaker 4 (01:24:42):
Now. You take that away and yikes.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
Yep, it's a frightening landscape in front of us. And
every additional dollar we spend in every and the larger
than that massive pile of debt, which is currently almost
what thirty seven trillion dollars gets. And then when the interest,
when the bond rate goes up, the and you refinance
or you end up having to pay more. It's like
having your credit card rate increase. You're going to have

(01:25:06):
to pay more for debt service. It's already a trillion
dollars a year, Dave, we're just paying on interest.

Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
Yeah, that's a lot of agencies combined. I mean, it's
crazy to think about what a trillion dollars is and
it's more than the defense budget. We're paying more in
interest than we're spending on defense, and we get nothing
from interest. I mean, at least we get a parade
when we spend almost a trillion dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
In defense thank you. Something else that I am not
in favor of. This reminds me so much of the
Soviet Union in North Korea. To roll out all of
your military hardware. I mean, I appreciate celebrating the anniversary
of the Armed Forces or the United States Army, and
that's a glorious thing. They're great people, they do wonderful things.
I'm a huge support of the American military personnel and

(01:25:54):
the veterans. But you know, Dave, another thing. I know
you've noticed they haven't been able to pass an audit
eight times in a row. You think there's any fraud
wasting abuse in the trillion dollar defense spending bill, Dave.

Speaker 4 (01:26:07):
And we're talking about not passing an audit. But they
lose engines. I'm not kidding that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:13):
They said, well, we're supposed to have fifteen engines, but
we only count twelve.

Speaker 4 (01:26:17):
We don't know where the three went.

Speaker 3 (01:26:19):
I mean, and these are you know, massive pieces of equipment.
So we're not talking about pencils and you know post
it notes. We're talking about big pieces of equipment that
go missing and they're unaccounted for.

Speaker 4 (01:26:29):
So this is hundreds of billions of dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
Like you said, you know it's been years since they've
been able to pass an audit, and they're never passing audit.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):

As seven twenty three I fifty five Kerr City Talk
Station Protecting Taxpayers dot orgs where you find Dave Williams
of the Taxpayer Protection Alliance and his crew looking out
for the American tax since really have a we went
really long in the last segment day and I don't
want to give short shrift to the food stamp crackdown,
so let's pause. We'll save that one for the next segment.
We've learned a lot. I mean, these protests that are

(01:29:11):
going on a lot of Los Angeles, somebody call them riots,
you choose, but the funding that's behind them, and we
find out that there are organizations out there the American
taxpayers have actually funded to fund a what I would
argue is a leftist, you know, pro illegal immigration ideology
that's run contrary to the Trump administration's philosophies. I know

(01:29:33):
Biden didn't have any problem with it, but how is
it the American taxpayers funding organizations that have a political affiliation.
I mean, if American taxpayer dollars were going to churches,
people would be screaming and wailing and gnashing of teeth.
But you know, a lot of these organizations, in my mind,
take a leap of faith like attitude, much like religion does.
They're not much different from religion.

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
Yeah, this is sort of the untold story of what's happening.
Is because you have a lot of nonprofit that receive
money from taxpayers, right, and we put out a report,
this was years ago, called phony philanthropy.

Speaker 4 (01:30:07):
Is that we are now?

Speaker 3 (01:30:09):
You know, Brian, you and I we are members of
these organizations because we're taxpayers, but we don't agree with
their mission. Listen, if you want to donate money to
an organization, that's your money. Don't use my money to
right to keep an organization propped up that I don't
agree with. And let's look at what's going to happen next.
Is taxpayer money is going to be used to rebuild

(01:30:31):
Los Angeles and what's happening there and consumers are also
going to be on the hook for increased insurance. We've
solved this with the with the fires of the California fires,
So this is not just who's funding this, but who's
going to fund the cleanup in the aftermath, And it's
always the US tax payer, always a taxpayer.

Speaker 2 (01:30:50):
Excellent point. Same thing in the aftermath of the Black
Lives Matter riots where federal buildings were smashed and burned
and Antifa, those are federal buildings. That means you and
I are going to pay for it. All right, Dave,

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
Hey, it's seven twenty nine right now? Which five KRCD
talk station you find? Dave Williams and the Taxpayer Protection
Alliance online at Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Dave a real
terrible situation East illustrated in one of the frauds that
they were able to find in this snap program thirty
million dollars in EBT transactions, fraudulently issued applications and misappropriate

(01:33:37):
USDA licenses, EBT terminals at unauthorized stores like smoke shops
and other businesses that shouldn't qualify. And oh look, part
of the problem is even folks working within the government
and these programs which people hold so valuable well, are
engaging in fraud and facilitating this kind of thing. With
a USDA employee or LASA Davis sold confidential government information

(01:34:01):
to the criminals that I just mentioned, we're involved in
this thirty million dollar fixed. This is just one of
probably gazillions of issue or illustrations of fraud in the
foodstamp program.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
Yeah, this is frustrating, to say the least, because we
went to EBT, the Electronic Benefit Transfer I believe it
was two thousand and four in the early two thousands,
to try to combat the waste for a and abuse
with paper food stamps.

Speaker 4 (01:34:27):
And listen, that's how you do it.

Speaker 3 (01:34:29):
I mean, you have a lot electronic paper trail. But
you know, thieves always find a way to game the system,
and this is what's happening. And you mentioned something that
is really critical in that story is that the call
is coming from.

Speaker 4 (01:34:42):
Inside the house.

Speaker 3 (01:34:43):
Yes, is that you have a USDA employee who was
part of this, and you mentioned that thirty million dollars
is one particular case, but they're estimating it could be
up to two hundred billion dollars it's lost to fraud
in the food stamp program. I mean that is an
insane number to consider and to think about, you know,

(01:35:05):
having that we could save one hundred billion dollars. So
one conference says no idea where we can save money.

Speaker 4 (01:35:11):
Well, here you go. I mean, here's this one of
many things.

Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
But again, criminals always find a way to rob, and
when you're the government, it's easy to rub the government
because they aren't watching IT. Systems are usually very weak.
I mean you have the IRS that as forty to
fifty year old IT system, So it's no surprise that
this is happening, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
It's like the aviation system. They're still using floppy discs
to help keep track of airplanes in the sky, which
is scary.

Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
Newark, New Jersey, does not have a fiber connection. So
that's why some of the allergies that have occurred is
they don't have the latest Internet. I mean, they don't
have gig service at Newark, New Jersey Airport. They are
using with you know, fifteen twenty year old technology.

Speaker 2 (01:35:54):
So yeah, using twelve hundred VOD modems with the regular
telephone remember those.

Speaker 4 (01:35:59):
Days, you know I had the good old days.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
Well, you know, the practical reality is this is because
I think if the government was actually a business that
had to run efficiently or it would go out of business.
So I know we're on that existential threat given how
much we overspend. But that aside, there's no incentive by
government to crack down on this. They don't have to
earn money. They merely take it, and you know, they

(01:36:24):
operate and they just continue to go on their merry way.
In spite of the fact that they could be saving
the American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars in one
program alone. They really don't really take much by way
of action to stop anything from happening. And that's why
it slips through the cracks. It's easy to rip the
government off because they're not attentive to where the money's
going and.

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
There's no consequences private business if there's If there's fraud,
you get fired and maybe prosecute or you know you
prosecuted in the government to get.

Speaker 4 (01:36:54):
Shifted to another part of the agency.

Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
Or maybe another agency. And again not the harm on
the IRS. Yeah, to harp on the IRS. I mean,
we've seen this where information has been leaked time and
time again, and there's never been any consequences for the
folks that are leaking this information.

Speaker 4 (01:37:11):
So Darren Li has a problem.

Speaker 3 (01:37:12):
This USDA employee is probably going to get a slap
on the wrist and then a two percent bump in
their pay next year. I mean, this is what happens.
But as you said, in the private sector, it doesn't happen.
So why not look at the things that the government
shouldn't be doing and give it to the private sector
and say, okay, we're going to get better.

Speaker 4 (01:37:28):
Results from this.

Speaker 3 (01:37:30):
But we're going in the opposite direction where the government
is saying that IRS again, direct file, we want to
prepare your returns.

Speaker 4 (01:37:37):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:37:38):
The private sector is doing a really good job at
that HR block and all these other places look out
for you and your money and try to get you
a big refund. So no, we're going the opposite direction here.
You want more of the private sector, not less of it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:52):
Yeah, I mean, at least if you're dealing with an accountant,
there's sort of a fiduciary obligation for them to look
out for your best censures by properly filing and finding
all the air is where you maybe can make deductions,
where you can pay less taxes, that kind of thing.
The federal government in their hands, I mean, their interest
is in maximizing the dollars that come into their operation,
not to reduce them. So there's no way they'd be

(01:38:12):
looking out for the American taxpayer's best interest exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
And that's why we just have to change the mentality
of the people that are elected that government is not
the answer. Government is the problem, and we need to
come up with better answers. And you know, my concern
is when they're talking about this legislation, you know, the
tax cuts, that's all they're talking about. That's all that
they can focus on. They can only focus on one

(01:38:37):
thing at a time. There are so many other issues.
There's the postal service, there's a regulatory overreach. Yeah, there's
so much more that they should be talking about, but
they're so focused on just one piece of legislation.

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
Well, we've identified all kinds of problems, Dave. Time and
time and time and time and time again we talk
about this kind of thing, and I don't know. I mean,
maybe the government officials just aren't listening to you or
or common sense logic and reason. They don't care that
we're digging ourselves into a hole that we can't get
out of. I don't know they don't.

Speaker 3 (01:39:06):
And let me let me just say I was talking
to Joe about this before I came on the air.
Is during this parade on Saturday, all I asked for
is one streetcar to be a part of this parade.
I just want to see a street car going down
Constitution Avenue and all its glory, uh, filled filled with

(01:39:28):
members in the army.

Speaker 4 (01:39:33):
That too much to ask.

Speaker 1 (01:39:34):
Yeah, that's great. I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:39:37):
Oh, Dave Williams. Always enjoy our conversations, even though they
can be depressing at times. At least you're shining a
bright light on what needs to be fixed. And maybe
someday you and I will get our wish and they'll
fix it. In the meantime, we'll continue to identify and
talk about it. Look forward to having you back on
the program really soon again. Protecting Taxpayers dot Org. Dave
have a great day and week.

Speaker 4 (01:39:56):
My friend YouTube Brian, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
Thanks brother. It's seven thirty six. If you've got care
sye de talk station, get yourself a phone call, make
a phone called a Cover Sincy. I can encourage you
enough to do this. And wherever you happen to be
listening from any of the fifty states of the Union,
Cover since he can help you, they will look at
where you are with medical insurance and also dental envision.
They cover all kinds of insurance. And if you're getting
to Medicaid or Medicare age, you need to talk with

(01:40:20):
Cover Sincy about the right things to select. But when
it comes to medical insurance, they work for you much
like the fiduciary obligation. I just meant they're on your
side of the table. Looking at all these hundreds of
insurance companies out there that offer medical insurance and the
literally thousands of policies that are out there and available,
they can create a package of medical insurance coverage that
gets you dollar one. Coverage helps you save a lot

(01:40:41):
of money. Small businesses, they can improve your bottom line
and get your employees covered with insurance they can actually afford.
It's just mind boggling what they're capable of doing. You
need to talk to John Roman or one of the
team members that cover Sincy to initiate that conversation with
no obligation to you, no cost involved in this analysis,
and save a lot of money, like couples under sixty

(01:41:03):
to sixty five or out of saving five hundred to
one thousand dollars a month. Yeah, that kind of savings
happens every day. Coversincy dot com cover sincey dot com.

another pet project to his, the water Tower Lights in
Mount Washington. Bob Weder, welcome back man, It's good to
hear from you today.

Speaker 5 (01:43:12):
I'm Brian. It's going to be a great weekend for us.

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
We've got a lot of lights, lots to celebrate. It
is Flag Day and I'm going to do the flag
retirement ceremony and Union Township. I always enjoy doing that.
We've got all kinds of Flag Day celebrations. There's a
Reds game going on this weekend, so many things to
take us away from the protest everything protests that are
going on, and of course being at the celebrate the

(01:43:36):
new water Tower lights celebration in Mount Washington another great
alternative of that nonsense. So tell tell my listeners about
this project. I know you've been working on it for
a while. Who's behind it. I know he has some
thanks to give out because there's some sponsors going on.
But what's what's what's what's the story behind the project itself?

Speaker 5 (01:43:55):
The project itself, the tower had been lit many years
just at Christmas time. Then it became in twenty fourteen.
It was lit every night, and we've had it problems
twice October. At twenty third October of twenty three the
tower actually went out, so we had to raise new

(01:44:17):
money and now we have raised enough to get the
tower relt And on Saturday night at eight o'clock we're
going to have the public portion of the celebration. We'll
have light refreshments. Eight twenty we're actually going to recognize

(01:44:37):
all the sponsors and volunteers. And then eight forty five
we're having a flag ceremony with American Legion. For eighty
four they're doing their flag ceremony. Nine o'clock will light it,
but special list everybody comes to spaghetti dinners. All your
listeners who put up with Karen Bob at every listener

(01:44:59):
lunch out.

Speaker 2 (01:45:00):
There, love having you a listener lunch Bob.

Speaker 5 (01:45:06):
So I mean it's been it's been great, and there's
so many people we have to pay back for all that.
And then at the Holiday walk usually seg comes down
to light support us, and so this year he's coming
out to relight the tower on Saturday night. But if
it wasn't for people like yourself, your listeners, all the

(01:45:29):
people who come to the spaghetti and they help, and
all the sponsors would put up all the extra money.
It's been great and we've raised this time about thirty
nine thousand dollars in the past three months.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
Oh wow, that's not bad.

Speaker 5 (01:45:43):
What can I help that?

Speaker 2 (01:45:45):
Can I ask you what the total cost of the
project was?

Speaker 5 (01:45:50):
Total cost the project? It's an ongoing project, right around
forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:45:55):
Okay, all right, well you know at leastening uh you
know six right, that's that's a worthy expension. And the
folks in Mount Washington love the lights up there, so
it's are they going to change? It's gonna be.

Speaker 5 (01:46:07):
Icon Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be different. It's gonna have
eight eight lights that come up from the bottom. We'll
be able to change those. And then we've added with
Project four projectors, it'll have like for this event, it'll
have a logo of Mount Washington up and it'll have

on this for a long time. One of your pet

You're always involved in these great events there, Bob, and
I know everybody appreciates it. So the lighting is at

there's a multitude of local sponsors and they all need
to be celebrated and supported, so you can check out

be right back on a little talk about it if
you want to call, love to hear from me. Maybe

US installation. Another call you need to make is USA
have your home inspected to see where you are in
terms of insulation under insulated homes and homes without insulation.

(01:48:07):
Don't wait, just go ahead and do it. It's only
ninety nine dollars a month interest free, So if they
inspect your home and you could use the phone, it's
the highest R value phone that is out there, made
right here in the state of Ohio, and USA has
been at this for decades. They have insulated thousands of homes.
And the only criticism I've ever heard, or reaction I've
heard from people that's not sort of negative is gosh
darn it, I wish I had done this sooner. Ninety

(01:48:29):
nine bucks a month interest free, it's very possible and
perhaps even very likely you'll save more than that on
a monthly basis if you're using your HVAC system and
of course it's hot, it's human. You're probably are using
yours to get the benefits of an immediately more comfortable
home day one and then a monthly benefit every time
you look at your energy bill. This is a guaranteed
return on investment, saving money on your energy bill, which

Jacker is predicting a low turnout for the uh Let's

it's more worthwhile to go to And what are you protesting?

(01:50:45):
Literally everything? I guess it's the nationwide Day of Defiance.
No kings and one of the more alarming things. We
started out the morning show talking about this, and uh
I receive this you know repost or this post from
our Hamilton County prosecutor kind of pillage from a number
of sources yesterday, and I just my jaw fell open.
I know she's a Democrat, and I know she's a leftist,

(01:51:09):
but for the Hamilton County Prosecutor to engage in this
type of i'd say horrific speech is just I think
it undermines her own credibility as well as undermines the
credibility of the office of the Hamilton County Prosecutor. So
I'm sure you know about the New King's nationwide Day

(01:51:29):
of Defiance, and if you look, you really are scratching
your head maybe about what you're defying. And I pointed
out early in the program there's a list seems endless
of the areas of division in this country. The pot
has been stirred now for years and years. Divide, divide, divide, divide.
And this benefits just nothing but our enemies and those
who want to undermine the republic, not democracy, county, but

(01:51:51):
the Republic. Go ahead and fight about at Palestine. Do
we have one or we don't weave over to the
c or not LGBTQ plus issues woke DEI ideology issues,
BLM issues, defund the police folks out there. I mean,
it's just there's a multitude of things which divide our country,
and it seems to me to be most of them
are kind of badcrap, insane, and yet, of course, as

(01:52:13):
I always point out, they're the ones that get highlighted
because there's so much insanity, like, oh my god, somebody
actually believes in that, somebody actually believes that men should
be able to play against women in sports. Click anyway,
Hamilton County Prosecutor College County Pillage writes this, what's on

(01:52:33):
my mind. My job is the prosecute people who commit crimes,
from minor infractions the horrible offenses, and that's where the
sanity ends. But all this is against a backdrop of
such unconstitutional lawlessness at the federal level by an incompetent, childish, selfish,
uneducated jackal who threatens our very democracy every day, even

(01:52:58):
worse by vile humans whose accent advice indicate that they
want to destroy our democracy. Please join me Saturday, m
Let's see here, vile humans like, for example, the folks
that worked for the Doge Department who fared it out fraud, waste,
and abuse, and when you look at the money trail,
I think one of the reasons they're all screaming and
yelling about USA being shut down is because it was

(01:53:20):
a source of taxpayer dollars to fund their leftist activities.
You work every day, so your taxpayer's dollars are go
to the go to Washington, d C. So USAID can
then take them and send them out into the world
to fund left wing organizations. And they identified a ton

(01:53:40):
of them. Those people are vile humans.

Speaker 1 (01:53:47):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:53:48):
Interesting. Take Connie, and I appreciate your words since they
were so kind and healing and not divisive and not
pot stirring in the midst of all of the well
criminal activity going on out in California and elsewhere. I
guess we'll see if things cooler heads prevail this weekend.

(01:54:10):
I can only pray for that. And props to my

in India. He'll join the program at the bottom of

to welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show
from the Cincinnati Enquirer. Somebody's at least reporting on local things.
Scott Whartman, welcome back to the morning show. It's always
great having you on.

Speaker 11 (01:55:35):
Oh thanks for having me, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:55:37):
Something I think everybody was talking about, at least of late,
one of many murders in the city of Cincinnati, but
rather horrific and under really really tragic circumstances, the death
of I guess you did have to have pro Bowl
met with Sarah Henninger regarding her husband's slaying in their
home by a guy who was supposed to be on
an ankle monitor who cut it off in February was

(01:55:58):
widely reported by from others. An announcement from police Chief
Teresa Thiji they did not even know that that guy
was at large. Talk about a breakdown in the system,
what's your what's your analysis? And after talking with the
folks involved with the AFTABS, meeting with Sarah Henninger, well,
a lot.

Speaker 11 (01:56:17):
Of the city had been quiet in the days following
the incident, and then on Wednesday, the mayor met with
Sarah Henninger, the wife of the man that was stabbed
in their home and over the Rhine and he basically
listened to her concerns because she's been very vocal on

(01:56:39):
social media that she wants changed so this doesn't happen again.

Speaker 16 (01:56:43):
She feels the system.

Speaker 11 (01:56:46):
Broke down after the suspect cut his ankle monitor off,
he fell off the map and basically with the mayor
and the police chief, they were both in the meeting
on Wednesday morning. They said that they were not notified.
The police chief issued pretty strongly worded eight minute video

(01:57:10):
statement that evening after the meeting, saying that, you know,
blaming the state for not notifying her. And that's kind
of like the big question here, who was responsible. We
haven't really gotten an answer on that yet. The state
hasn't really responded on exactly you know how that was

(01:57:33):
supposed to work. But from sources I talked to, they
said that he was notified, like it was flagged in
the system, and they were looking for him actively, so
you know how that should have worked. We're still trying
to answer that.

Speaker 2 (01:57:50):
Well, the question then is they were looking for them
if if if the since I my police department didn't
get alerted that he was out and about and had
cut off his ankle monitor and fled the halfway home,
and so he was at large. Obviously a demonstrably violent
man given the reason he was locked up previously. He
went on to commit another robbery then and then ultimately

(01:58:12):
we have the murder of Patrick a Hanger. Yes, it
wasn't the Ohio Parole Board that was responsible for monitoring.

Speaker 11 (01:58:23):
Him, and yeah, it was the state. He was under
the state supervision. And again the details on exactly, you know,
we're still sorting out how that was supposed to work.

Speaker 5 (01:58:39):
But he was.

Speaker 4 (01:58:41):
He served a nine year.

Speaker 11 (01:58:42):
Prison sentence, was put on supervised release, and then when
he cut off his ankle monitor, they didn't really know
where he was.

Speaker 2 (01:58:51):
Yeah, well, see that to me sounds like, you know,
it's one of those things you see in movies. Issue
in all points bullet and we got a dangerous guy
who's cut off his ankle monitor. He's probably up to
no good, given him his criminal conduct in the past.
Here's a picture of him. Here's crime stopper bad guy.
The week we do that every week on the Morning show.
Was there a crime stopper alert out there on him?
Were the police department provided with photos and information? And

(01:59:11):
you know where he typically hangs out is wherever? That's
it seems to me just should be the normal order
of business. But if the police department's not notified about it,
then they're not going to be out looking for him duh, right.

Speaker 11 (01:59:25):
Yeah, and that is these are some of the answers
that Sarah Henninger and the city want to get coming
out of this, And these are answers right now we
just don't.

Speaker 2 (01:59:39):
Have, okay, And I know some of the reforms that
Sarah Harringer was asking for. It sounded to me, based
on the reporting I read the AFTAB provol was in
a chord and had no objection to what she was
asking for and also was desirous of bringing about some
change to the system. So at least it doesn't sound
like he's being an obstructionist.

Speaker 5 (01:59:57):
No.

Speaker 11 (01:59:58):
I mean when he met with her, it sounded like
he listened to her concerns and he agreed that it
was unacceptable that those were his words in the statement
that he released, and vowed the work with her. And
she said that she's going to be very public as
she works with the city to keep everyone notified of

(02:00:23):
what's happening and kind of keep the heat on to
see that something happened and that there is some meaningful change.

Speaker 1 (02:00:31):
Well, it was a.

Speaker 2 (02:00:32):
Business owner and over the Ryan, I think there were
residents of over the Ryan. Patrick Herringer had a gym
there active in the community, by all accounts, are really
terrific guy, and I can certainly understand her being devastated
by this, but I think her online social media posts
have been quite reasonable, and in spite of her current
circumstances and her grief, I think everything that she said
out loud are legitimate, you know, rather than just being

(02:00:55):
vile and angry and screaming and yelling. I mean, she's
asking for some very legitimate reform. So one can only
pray that this tragedy does result in a more efficient system,
because obviously there was some sort of breakdown here that
doesn't look like it should have happened. Now, whether they
would have found him or not, no one can answer
that question. But if you don't know the guys out there,
you're not going to be looking for him. Which that's

(02:01:17):
the elephant in the room on this one. Scott pivoting over, and.

Speaker 11 (02:01:21):
The crime really has devastated the over the Rhine community.
And this is one of those things. I mean, it
was someone killed in their own home.

Speaker 4 (02:01:30):
You it's really.

Speaker 11 (02:01:33):
I mean, it's rightly you know, hit a nerve and
caused you know, a lot of a lot of stress
on the over the Ryan community.

Speaker 2 (02:01:41):
Which I think is already stressed out. One of the
things that came out during this in the aftermath of
this tragedy, bad optics for the city. Who tries to
paint this, you know, beautiful, you know, rainbows, puppy dogs,
a kind of picture of the environment in downtown CINCINNTI.
Crime apparently has soared forty eight percent year over and
over the Rhine alone, with regard to property crimes and
break ins and car thefts and car breakings and all that.

(02:02:05):
It doesn't sound good, but.

Speaker 11 (02:02:09):
I do believe looking at some of the crime statistics,
so I think overall, like violent crime.

Speaker 4 (02:02:15):
Is down.

Speaker 11 (02:02:16):
It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it's sometimes hard to
read the year the year data because there can be ambivalent,
you know, conclusions that are drawn from it.

Speaker 2 (02:02:27):
Yeah, and I know, but see one of the interesting
points that was made and I can't remember where I
read it, but violent crime maybe down, and that would
be like murders in the city overall. But if you
look at different areas, different communities or different neighborhoods, like
over the Rhine, that's when you find out that, in fact, no,
a lot of crime is up in any given area.

(02:02:48):
So the statistics tend to mask sometimes the reality of
what anybody's actually dealing with on a day to day
basis in the communities. So well, I'm looking for follow
up reporting from Scott Wortman the whole situation with the
barole board and what they actually do and how things
are monitored and how they keep track of these folks
that are out on bail with ankle monitors. There is

(02:03:11):
a piece on aft have purval getting fined fifty dollars
doesn't sound like a big slap on the wrist there
with fifty bucks. What was the reason he had to
pay fifty bucks for this campaign issue?

Speaker 11 (02:03:22):
Yeah, the Ohio Elections Commission, which is the one that
levied the fine. I mean generally, I mean that's actually
kind of a hefty fine for them, because it's generally
seen as I don't know, necessarily want to say toothless,
but they usually aren't like severe consequences that are handed

(02:03:43):
down for violations.

Speaker 4 (02:03:45):
But it was an issue.

Speaker 11 (02:03:49):
Kurt Hartman, he's a Republican attorney, often files a lot
of complaints and actions against politicis.

Speaker 1 (02:04:02):
You viewed a lot of.

Speaker 11 (02:04:04):
Election commission or election campaign finance filings, noticed that there
was debt on.

Speaker 4 (02:04:12):
Have to have pureval's.

Speaker 11 (02:04:15):
Last campaign finance report that wasn't It was like six
four to eight years old, and his contention was that
it was eighty three thousand dollars worth of debt to
three firms, a law firm and some consulting firms. His
contention was, well, if it's that old, it's basically a
campaign contribution and should be reported as such.

Speaker 2 (02:04:40):
So that free, basically free legal services were rendered on
his part.

Speaker 4 (02:04:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:04:46):
Yeah, that was.

Speaker 11 (02:04:49):
Mister Hartman's argument. And then the Elections Commission they just ruled.
They didn't really say much about it other than that
it was an incomplete They said that the mayor amended
the report and then just levied a fifty dollars fine basically,
and that's that's what came to that.

Speaker 2 (02:05:08):
All right, did he have to pay the law firms back, Well.

Speaker 4 (02:05:12):
He's.

Speaker 16 (02:05:14):
According to a f tab Zone attorney, he's currently repaying
the loans since Hartman's complaint. And so Kurt Hartman pointed
that out, as you know, nothing was being done.

Speaker 1 (02:05:26):
On this until I.

Speaker 11 (02:05:29):
Raised the issue, and so yeah, that was definitely part
of it.

Speaker 2 (02:05:33):
Fair Enough, there'd be some lawyers with a happy smiley
face getting paid for the work that they did.

Speaker 16 (02:05:38):
All right, I know you got more attention for the
fifty dollars just for it being a fifty dollars fine
than anything.

Speaker 2 (02:05:45):
It is a slap on the wrist. I mean, I
don't know what people expect by way of fines from
the Oversight Committee, High Elections Commission, but as you illustrate,
they rarely do this, So even a fifty dollars fine
is a higher level than most. Clearly was a violation here,
and that's what they concluded. Are pivoting over. You teamed
up with Dan Horne to write an article about the

(02:06:05):
CINCINNTI firefighters, and the fire department survey didn't paint a
really pretty picture, did it, Scott.

Speaker 11 (02:06:12):
Now, I mean only a quarter of the firefighters responded,
which I guess if you look at a lot of
companies when they do those surveys, that's not necessarily unusual.
But the ones that responded, no, we're not happy with
their jobs. They felt like they're not being lifted into
by management. They felt that the hiring practices were not fair,

(02:06:32):
that the promotions were not fair. This is something the
work environment at the fire department. It's been a long
standing issue. The previous fire chief was.

Speaker 16 (02:06:44):
Fired for allegedly creating a hostile work environment according to
the or not addressing a hostile work environment, and so
this has been an issue that's been ruminating in the
fire department for while.

Speaker 2 (02:07:00):
That was fire Chief Frank McKinley. According to reporting that
he's fighting that allegation in his discharge.

Speaker 11 (02:07:06):
Is he no, no, no, no, Frank McKinley is the
current one. Oh I'm sorry, yeah, Chief Washington, Yes, and yeah,
he is currently fighting that.

Speaker 1 (02:07:18):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (02:07:18):
Who prompted this survey? Whose idea or who is behind
the survey of the firefighters? Because I would really like
to see one of the inst Police department because from
all I've heard about that, and I have quite a
few inside sources there, things aren't that good by way
of morality the in St Police Department.

Speaker 11 (02:07:33):
Well, according to the city manager, this is part of
an overall assessment of the department and they're going to
have a report in a month or two with recommendations
on how to make improvements and improve the morality the
fire department. So, I mean that's something that in the

(02:07:55):
next month or two we shall, hopefully we'll get more
clear answers.

Speaker 2 (02:07:59):
To yeah, but it was it's your report of this.
This survey was conducted by last fall by a private firm.
I'm just wondering, was that at Sherry Long's initiation or
was it the uh the fire department union's behest I'm
just wondering who was behind the survey itself.

Speaker 11 (02:08:15):
Well, at that point, at this point, we we aren't
clear because the city manager hasn't said anything beyond what
we had in the story, and the report has not
been released, wasn't released publicly yet we had obtained a
copy of it, and uh so at this point it's
not quite clear.

Speaker 2 (02:08:34):
All right, have you just thore we part company today?
Scott Wharton from the Cincinnion Choir. You can find the
on line at cincinny dot com. Connie Phillich released the
statement yesterday that I found rather troubling personally, but it
seemed to be rather unprofessional for a Hamilton County prosecutor
to issue this. It's regarded that no King's nationwide dad
defiance which has taken place on Saturday attacking without naming

(02:08:57):
Donald Trump, but clearly directed toward Donald Trump and his administration.
Did you see that by any chance.

Speaker 16 (02:09:05):
I saw some online chatter about it, but I'll be
hosity I have not really delved into.

Speaker 4 (02:09:11):
That too much.

Speaker 2 (02:09:12):
Well, I was just curious if you might consider reaching
out to her for an explanation, because she points out
her job as to prosecute crimes she goes. But all
this is against the backdrop of such unconstitutional lawless at
the federal level by an incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated jackal
who threatens our very democracy every day. Even worse, he
is backed up by vile humans whose acts and advice

(02:09:34):
indicate that they want to destroy our democracy, and then
ask people to join her on Saturday with the not
Kings nationwide Native defiance image there. So it just seemed
to be rather unprofessional for MI and my listeners. Standpoint,
I thought might be worthy story to follow up with
Connie pillach On Scott.

Speaker 11 (02:09:51):
I'll put it on the list.

Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (02:09:53):
Hey, You're always welcome here.

Speaker 2 (02:09:54):

understand what's going on in the city of Cincinnati. Scott
and I'll look forward to having on again. I hope
you have a wonderful balance of the week you too,

A twenty three if aify five KERCD talk station. Good
timing for tragic reasons. I heart media aviation expert Jay
Ratlef's going to join the program next he does every
Thursday at eight thirty. Sadly, we have another item to
add to the list, which will be absolutely no surprise
to my dear friend Jay Ratliffe, because you've heard the news.

(02:11:34):
An absolute horrific tragedy in India Air India plane crash
two hundred and forty two passengers on board, and I've
seen the video. You can easily find the video. You
have the acts of the aircraft in the air and
I don't know if it was a stall situation. Jay's
going to probably speculate on that what it could be.
It'll be a speculation because we don't know at this point.

(02:11:55):
But it was a massive explosion and it ran into
medical ability described as a hostel for doctors. So the
planes they reported it gave a May Day call to
air traffic control. This is right after takeoff and it
just didn't get airborne very well and down it went.

(02:12:16):
Looked like kind of a glide downward. But oh god,
it's just horrific and I can only imagine the thoughts
of the people on that airline, and prayers go out
to each and every one of them, nationals from India.
There were United Kingdom folks on there, Canada as well
as Portugal, so obviously folks are reeling from that, and
there'll be a full investigation. I presume at some point

(02:12:38):
we will get all the information as to what happens.
But aviation made it into the news this morning in
a very tragic way. So we'll hear from Jay on that.
But we've got other topics to talk about as well
with Jay Ratliffe. As is the case, let me mention
Color Electric family owned and operated since nineteen ninety nine,
Andrew Collin and his team of amazing license of course electricians,
well oil machine. I always like to point out they

(02:12:58):
are because I've witnessed them in work in my home
on multiple occasions, and they do terrific work. You can

Speaker 2 (02:14:40):
AY thirty on a Thursday. It's that time when week
get the joy and pleasure talking with I heard media
aviation expert Jay Ratlift sadly and I know this isn't
a curve ball for you, Jay, because I'm certain you
found out and heard about the plane crash in India
and I saw the video and oh my god, it
is just a horror show. Jay, Welcome back to the

(02:15:01):
good morn of Brian.

Speaker 11 (02:15:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:15:02):
I had a lot of really fun topics in mind
for us to talk about, and that news greeted us
this morning, and it you know, as with every aviation disaster,
it's a situation of, okay, what do we know of anything.
I've been asked throughout the morning to speculate, and obviously
you can't, but you can also draw certain conclusions, and

(02:15:25):
we can certainly do this with the video that's been
verified as the plane crashing. Was the weather, which sometimes
is a contributing cause to aviation disasters, did not appear.

Speaker 2 (02:15:36):
To be the case here right.

Speaker 10 (02:15:38):
The other thing was that the aircraft did not show
any signs of outward distress, meaning it wasn't on fire.
Did nothing seem to have like a bag that would
have exploded from the inside or something shot at it
from the outside, So the plane wasn't on fire. It
seemed to be intact. No pieces of the aircraft wing
or vertical stabilizers were missing, so that seemed to suggest

(02:16:02):
everything was pretty much as normal. We do know the
airplane took off, reached six hundred and eighty feet or so,
leveled off, and then started to glide down, and the
landing air was still deployed. Now normally you'll retract that
right as you hit the rotation point as you take off,
but the crew, you know, had their hands full here.

(02:16:24):
And there's also reports that there was a may day call, Yeah,
was sent out and Brian, I'll be really, really really
surprised if that's accurate.

Speaker 11 (02:16:33):
Kid.

Speaker 10 (02:16:34):
Oh yeah. If you're a flight crew, the last thing
you're going to do when you have moments is to
stop what you're doing and communicate what's going on. Pilots
are taught you aviate first and foremost, who cares? You
don't tell anybody anything until you try to get a
handle on the situation that's at hand. And if a

(02:16:55):
flight crew took time away from the few seconds, that's
really all they have of trying to solve this problem,
whatever it was, to stop and communicate, that's just not
the norm. And apparently they had a pretty experienced flight crew.
And what's going to happen is you're going to hear
so many reports of this and that that you're going

(02:17:17):
to find out after the fact wasn't the case. There's
eyewitness reports that you really can't take much talk in
because you're gonna have two people stand by side and
one will say it was flying this way and the
other one says, no, it's flying that way. Because your
brains just aren't wired to process the tragedy that you
solve unfolding. But you know, if an airplane takes off

(02:17:37):
and it has a problem with one of the engines,
it continues to take off, they shut the one bad
engine down, they increase power to the second, US fly around,
and you come back and land. It's a very routine.
What happened here apparently caused power for both engines to
turn off, and that's a you know, that narrows it

(02:17:59):
down bit. Now, there's no conclusions that are ever going
to be drawn from just the video that we saw.
Have at our disposal. Boeing officials as well as the
National Transportation Safety Board as an assist agency. They won't
be leading. It will arrive and they'll help with the
black boxes, and once those are retrieved and analyzed, they'll

(02:18:22):
be able to tell mechanically what was happening. And also
the cockpit voice recorder that will provide any verbal communications
were going on, or any alarms that might have been
sounding at the time that could suggest what happened. But
if there was ever fuel contamination, in other words, if
water got in the fuel or something that contaminated the

(02:18:42):
fuel enough, it could cause an engine to shut down.
We've had that happen before. For it to have both
engines shut down, I just don't know. I just don't know.
And back to that may day call. I remember when
Sulenberg and Jeff Style on the Miracle on the Hudson
when they had the double bird strike. They communicated it

(02:19:04):
may day, but they were twenty eight hundred feet, so
they had some time to work the problem, thankfully, and
it ended up very well. This crew had less than
seven hundred feet and if you're at altitude, you know,
thirty five thousand feet and there's a problem, an experienced
flight crew can say, okay, let's work the problem. We
have X amount of minutes to solve whatever's going on here.

(02:19:27):
They had seconds to try it. Yeah, obviously, very very
few options. And now the investigation will continue and hopefully
they'll find some survivors. Oh my god, the images and
the pictures and the video are just horrific, and you
just pray that the people on the plane survived as
well as nobody on the ground was killed. And only

(02:19:50):
time will tell.

Speaker 2 (02:19:51):
Time will tell, and you can pray that there are
but seeing the video and that fireball explosion and the
fact that they basically flew into a building. I find
it hard to believe anybody could survive.

Speaker 10 (02:20:02):
And we can later get into the specifics of the investigation. Yeah,
certain things you're concerned about, but yeah, those are my
initial observations.

Speaker 2 (02:20:08):
Real quick, No, pilot, am I I know you are
a pilot, but it didn't look like the flaps were down.
Are flaps down during takeoff to provide le nor.

Speaker 10 (02:20:20):
The flaps were not in the position that they needed
to appear to be. But it was the air speed
that to me was the biggest sinicare because even if
you have a flap issue, the speed is going to
dictate what happens.

Speaker 4 (02:20:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:20:36):
The stall, the stall thing, right, and you know this,
well a.

Speaker 10 (02:20:41):
Stall would have would have actually caused the airplane to
fall out of the sky. Yeah, you're right, that was Yeah,
this one, this one flew and or glided is a
better term. So that's why on this And look, the
Dreamliner you're talking about, seventy nine airlines around the world
use it. It's been been around for fourteen years. You've
had a billion passengers travel on them without any incident whatsoever,

(02:21:04):
you know, as far as a crash. So there's a
lot of Yeah, this is a workhorse for Boeing, and
a lot of people are saying, oh, here we go
with Boeing again.

Speaker 4 (02:21:12):
I'm like, we'll time out.

Speaker 10 (02:21:13):
You know, there's a lot of contributing causes that could
be at play here, and we simply don't know because yeah,
it was a Boeing aircraft. But you know Boeing and Airbus,
ninety percent percent of any aviation access can involve one
of the two, so you certainly can't draw conclusions at all.
Here we go again, because that Dreamliner has a very

(02:21:33):
very proven track record behind it and is an incredibly
safe aircraft.

Speaker 2 (02:21:38):
I guess lucky for Boeing it wasn't a seven thirty
seven Max.

Speaker 4 (02:21:41):
Well yeah, but you know.

Speaker 10 (02:21:43):
They're going to be very quickly over there to see
what's going on, because you know, if it was a
mechanical situation, we got to address it because we have
other seven eighty sevens that are out there flying fair enough.

Speaker 2 (02:21:53):
We'll continue with Jay Ratliff after these brief words.

Speaker 2 (02:22:58):
We've ever been in the cockpit before? Hey forty if
you got CAIRCD talk station Jay rather fast, he's I
heard need the aviation expert. We enjoy his company every
Thursday for a few segments pivoting over away from the
tragic Indian aircraft we have. It's one thing to have
your flight canceled, but it's another thing to have your
entire airline shut down. What's this all about, Jay, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:23:19):
Silver Airways may've been around, I think fourteen fifteen years.
Maybe they're Florida based company. I fly into Florida as
well as Caribbean and Bahama destinations. They have eight aircraft
and either twenty or thirty destinations, and yesterday they ceased operations,
ran out of money and told send messages to the

(02:23:42):
passengers not to report to the airport. Well that's fine
if you're home getting ready to go on your vacation,
but quite another if you're at your vacation waiting to
get home. Oh yeah yeah, So those individuals would be
tasked with trying to get a hold of an airline
and by a last minute one way ticket back back
home because the airline that they had trusted has gone

(02:24:06):
out of business. So we it's been a while since
we've seen one just totally belly up like this without
any advanced notice. But the good news is that the
you know, the number of cities they fly or few
which means the impact is going to be few, but
you know not if you're one of the passengers who's
going to end up being stranded at one of these,

(02:24:27):
especially if you're in the Caribbean or the Bahamas and
you're trying to get back.

Speaker 2 (02:24:31):
Well, and depending on how they I guess declare bankruptcy
and go Chapter eleven or something, getting your money back
is gonna be a little difficult from a belly up airline.

Speaker 10 (02:24:41):
Yeah, And you know, if they filed chapter eleven, as
many airlines have, they keep flying, and from our side
of the ticket counter, you and I've talked about it,
you really you don't notice the difference if it's Spirit
American when they filed chapter eleven and in other carriers.
I remember when United went through it a number of
years ago. It's just something that happens. And as they do,

(02:25:02):
you know, they organized that they keep flying, a far
cry from just kind of you know, everything coming.

Speaker 2 (02:25:08):
To a stop. Well, I guess they have assets that
could be liquidated.

Speaker 10 (02:25:13):
You might get pennies on yours.

Speaker 2 (02:25:15):
That's typically the case because I'm sure if they are
having this kind of financial struggles, they have a lot
of creditors standing in line with their hands out for
the for the what's left over, And we talk a.

Speaker 10 (02:25:24):
Lot Brandon about the the flight insurance, trip insurance, and
those things come into play because I'm a big fan
of that because you never know what's gonna happen, and
anytime Sherry and I fly, I'll get the trip cancelation insurance,
which includes a lot of different things. If things were
to happen and it's a few bucks, it's it's no

(02:25:45):
big deal and peace of mind, yes, And to me
it's just a natural part. Plus, if you're really really
good at planning your trip way in advance, as so
many of our listeners are, you're getting a very big
discount on your your ticket and as a result, many
times you're the insurance is going to be made available,

(02:26:05):
sometimes at reduced costs. But even if not, with all
the money you've saved by booking early, you've got more
than a month of money left over to make sure
that you lock that in. And if you're buying your
making your reservations as we tried to do eleven months
in advance, that is very prudent to get that and
I can't you know, recommend that.

Speaker 2 (02:26:23):
Enough fair enough, Well, you got another minute to show
in this segment. Let's just talk real quickly about Boeing
had a great month of sales, more than three hundred aircraft. Now,
I guess the follow up question is, yeah, yeah, yes,
sold them, but when are you going to deliver them?

Speaker 10 (02:26:37):
Well, right now they're making they're cranking out airplanes at
about forty five a month, which is twice of what
he did last year at this time. But look last
year Boeing delivered three hundred and forty eight airplanes wow,
and the whole year. So if you see them getting
three hundred and three orders in a month, that's not

(02:26:58):
too bad that they had three camp so it was
ant of three hundred, and they've had very few months
that were that good as far as a you know,
kind of a blockbuster kind of month for them. But
what that means is their backlog aircraft orders are now
fifty nine and forty three, so they've got nearly six
thousand aircraft on back order. By comparison with their friends

(02:27:21):
over at Airbus, they've got I think about eight thousand,
close to nine thousand on back order. So I don't
care who you're buying your airplane from, it's going to
be a while before you get it, which is why
we've discussed many times. Airlines will say, hey, let's go
buy another airline. That way we can immediately have an
influx of you know, two hundred new airplane not new,

(02:27:42):
but two hundred additional aircraft that we can add to
the fleet that will allow us to fly in the
several cities that we just can't now because we don't
have the number of airplanes to do it.

Speaker 2 (02:27:50):
All right, Well, and you know, if you're buying millions
of dollars worth of aircraft, and every one of these
things is a heap lot of money, the terms of
conditions and the delivery date prospects or anticipated delivered date
is certainly something they're going to discuss, so they know
in advance about when the aircraft's going to show off
or at least some rough estimates it is.

Speaker 10 (02:28:09):
And look, a lot of these are incredibly fuel efficient airplanes,
and it's a lot of the planes that they are
ordering are to replace some of the planes that are
older in their fleet. So the thought is, look, let's
get this newer aircraft in so that we can a
save money on fuel but provide a better line of
service for our customers. I'd love to think that's a

(02:28:32):
primary consideration. It's not, and many times it's because you
can accommodate more passengers on the newer aircraft than you
can be old. So now there's a lot of incentives
for getting the new airplanes, and you know they can't
get them fast enough.

Speaker 2 (02:28:45):
Let's pause, bring Jay right, look back. Talk about airlines
selling our personal travel information and hub delays. Always conclude
with hub delays, find out it's a good day to
fly out there. It's a forty six right now, be right.

Speaker 14 (02:28:55):
Back, fifty five KRC.

Speaker 2 (02:28:59):
One more time for the weather this morning, it's Channel
nine says we have a partly cloudy day, a bit
more human, I guess than yesterday. Air Quality alerting effect
for since Sint Metro and Southeast Indiana eighty seven to
high excuse me that to sixty eight overnight with clouds, clouds,
muggy conditions. Tomorrow was scattered after indon evening storms They
predict between five and ten pm. Eighty four for the high,

(02:29:20):
but then again we got showers and storms overnight as well,
sixty eight for the low. Finally, for Saturday, cloudy with
scattered thunderstorms likely in the afternoon eighty two for the
high finishing up at sixty eight degrees. Let's get a
final traffic update.

(02:29:58):

the breaks from above two seventy five to Red Bank
Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:30:10):
A fifty hear fifty five kr CD talk station. Demand
and demand, most notably on days like today. And we
have that tragedy in India with the airline crash. But
Jay Ratliffe, what is with airlines selling our personal and
travel information to whom and why?

Speaker 10 (02:30:27):
Well, the airlines have an organization or come entity. They
own the Airline Reporting Corporation. It's owned in essence by
several large airlines. It does a lot of things from
an accounting standpoint and other things for the airline industry.
But it's been found out that the ARC, the Airline
Reporting Corporation, is selling light information personal data on passengers

(02:30:53):
to the Customs and Border Protection Agency. So the thought is,
why are airlines selling this information to a government entity
in not keeping that information private. The response was that,
you know, we're going to support federal, state, and local
law enforcement agencies if they're trying to identify persons of interest.

(02:31:16):
But the airlines have not been, shall we say, fully
you know, forthcoming with regards to what they're doing. But
you know, when I look at it, it's the itinerary,
it's the payment details that are being made available. And
I mean, the government has that kind of information anyway,
So I don't feel as though it's a betrayal on

(02:31:38):
my part if my light information or whatever is provided
to a government agency for the I guess, the sake
of law enforcement. But you know, your libertarian side of things,
you might look at that and say, hey, look, you know,
is this something that we can look at? Does a
Bobby And that was going to be a question I
had for you, because I look at this as something

(02:32:00):
that's not necessarily that big of a deal because the
government already has access to a lot of this. I
think the thought is we're trying to find in a
timely fashion where somebody we're looking for might happen to
be traveling to.

Speaker 6 (02:32:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:32:14):
Very mixed emotions on these kind of things, Jay, I
really do, because I don't like, you know, government accumulation
of information. I mean, it's always there or we're just
trying to protect you. We're just trying to protect you. Yeah,
Well that's what the NSA says, and they vacuum up
literally every communication we make in the world. And you
know how good are they at produced at predicting future crimes?
And the usually are just like, oh yeah, we got
a file on that guy after the crime has been committed,

(02:32:35):
so you know what I mean, it's like we gotta
reminds me always that movie Casablanca. We have a complete
dossier on you, you know. All right, great, thanks, so
my eyes Yeah yeah, all right. Well we typically I don't.

Speaker 10 (02:32:48):
Trust airlines in the you know, am I trust for
the government. Well that probably goes without saying, but it's just,
you know, the irony is the government asked the airlines
for information such as this during the pandemic, and the
airline said, no, we will not provide it because we

(02:33:10):
don't have the personnel. So I guess when it was
requested during a time of crisis with the pandemic, thinking
if somebody had got COVID, we need to find out
where they've been. That kind of stuff isn't important enough.
But now the airlines are okay and selling that same
information to another government agency. It just yeah, really yeah,

(02:33:31):
come on.

Speaker 2 (02:33:32):
And selling it, you know, profit motive, right, that's it.
We always then unhubbed delays, jay rightlift. What's it look
like out there today for air travel?

Speaker 10 (02:33:42):
You don't want to be in Texas, Houston and Dallas
getting absolutely hammered with some inclement weather, a lot of rain,
a lot of wind, a lot of delayed, a lot
of canceled flights. So if you're flying connecting on through
Houston on United you might get a hold of them
just to see what options you might have available to you.
If you're going through Dallas US on American, do the
exact same thing, because that's primarily where the headaches today are.

Speaker 1 (02:34:05):
Going to be.

Speaker 10 (02:34:05):
With the rest of the country being pretty good shape.
