55KRC Thursday Show - Todd Zinser and Jay Ratliff

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Five o five. I think you.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I have k r C the talk station.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Friday e dude, may abide, I do not quite often.
Happy Friday Eve slash Thursday.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Call it what you want.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's the day of the week it is, and I'm
glad you're tuned in. Got a good morning here on
the fifty five k S morning. Sure, at least my
perception of it is good because our favorite citizen watchdog,
Todd Zenzer of the Citizen Watchdog podcast, former Inspector General.
We'll join in the program at seven o five. He'll
be in studio, which I love Todd's willingness to stop
on in and we have a full hour of conversation,

(00:57):
including topics like his latest podcast on Cincinnati's green ambitions.
As the Trump administration turns away from the ridiculous green mandates,
a pointless gesture for us to engage in it, even
more pointless for a lone city out in the wilderness
to engage in green ambitions, considering it has zero impact

(01:20):
on the overall environment. We all breathe the same air,
and the dirty air from China and India and Turkey
and everplace else that doesn't abide by the green policies
ends up floating over here at some point. Volcanoes are up,
wildfires are up. Of course, we have that New Jersey
wildfire that's still raging. It's consumed more than twenty square
miles already and it is not contained yet, So that's

(01:43):
adding to the carbon in the atmosphere. Yeah, can't stop that, CanYa.
It's my favorite stat was the California wildfire has negated
all of the efforts to decarbonize. The trillions of dollars
that the country's engaged or has has squandered in those efforts,
negated by a series of wildfires in California. It's a

(02:04):
sissaphy and challenge. You're never going to get the boulder
to the top of the mountain.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Anyhow. We'll hear from.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Todd on the latest enquire op ed on the Cincinnati
being fiscally responsible. That's comical. Few words on Greg Landsman
and his stock issues. Fair to disclose his investments, which
is a violation of the law. Anyhow, since a councilwoman

(02:31):
inciting violence against Tesla owners and dealerships, Yeah, that's what
we need our council people to be doing.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
And to what end and to what purpose?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Anyone well, because Doge and Elon Musk are ferreting out fraud,
waste and abuse. The latest on that just real quick here,
let me interject some fun facts on that one, because again,
why would you go after Elon Musk? See the silence
is deafening and you can feel free call if you

(03:06):
want to chime in on that and have a legitimate
reason five three, seven, four nine fifty eighty two to three.
Talk running around with Elon Musk is a Nazi sign
because he's doing a job for free that should have
been done by our elected officials years and years and
years ago, and that's getting rid of or not funding
at the outset fraud, waste and abuse. Justice Department released

(03:28):
just yesterday what they referred to as greatest Hits. Attorney
General Pam Bondi announced this yesterday among the money that
we'll be saved, and again it's small change compared to
our broader problems, but more illustrations of the insanity from
our federal government and where it is spending your hard
earned labor. Say, they're saving two million dollars that was

(03:51):
used for quote, national listening sessions of individuals with lived experience.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
If you know what that means. Let me know.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I think it's so loosely worded it could legitimately mean anything.
Somebody got two million dollars for that national listening sessions.
And what are you supposed to do with a listening session?
Does it require some you know, objective to be achieved?
Are we just listening? I've had Joe, have you had

(04:31):
lived experience? You've been on this planet for quite some time.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I've been on longer than you.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I have my entire life lived experience, various experiences, some
quite memorable. Six hundred and ninety five thousand dollars for
quote a parallel convergent mixed methods case study research design

(05:00):
to assess the efficacy of police departments LGBTQ liaison services
close quote. Do you have any concept of what that is?

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Joe? I mean, I'm pulling the room here.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
A quarter of a million dollars saved That was used
to fund a grant for quote working with incarcerated transgender
individuals providing gender affirming care to including housing in gender
appropriate facilities. Close quote. You feel good about that? She concluded,

(05:46):
with more to come. Yeah, And that's the sad part
about it. This is, you know, the Doge's been at
this for just about three months. Now more to come.
I thought we'd seen the worst of the worst. Maybe
we've just seen the tip of the iceberg, and yet
you're out destroying Tesla's because of that.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's mind blowing.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
And finally we'll see what Todd Zenser is by way
of support who he's supporting for mayor.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I kind of have a feeling I know the answer
to that question.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Fast forward eight oh five Mandy gunnessa Kara Conservati opponent,
author of y'all fired. We'll be talking with her about
the media and the left subsession with ousting Pete Hegzef
and their obsession with the MS thirteen gang member, whose
record is more every day we get more and more
information about that clown, and well, what should result in

(06:45):
more and more embarrassment by the Democrats who actually are
actively trying to bring him back, in their words, home
and considering he's an illegal immigrant. I don't think he
can really legitimately or legally refer to the United States
as his home.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
iHeart media aviation extpert Jay Ratlif at eight thirty been
a tough week for Southwest Airlines. We've got a deadly
plane crash in DC forcing changes at other airports regarding
helicopter traffic, the taxing Frontier Airlines Jet had a mechanical
problem in the worst possible place. And of course the

(07:27):
report on hub delays and whatever else I can come
at by way of curveballs to throw a Jay rattlift
that are not on his topic list.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
So there we go.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
And since yesterday we did talk about the stadium funding
deal with Jason Williams, who astutely observed that this sort
of pre agreement, it's not been reduced to riding and
affirm commitment, showed that the Bengals are really willing to
step up to the play and fund a larger chunk
of the funding request. And Jason pointed out he gas,

(07:59):
I think this is a pr campaign because everyone's upset
about the Bengals, who aren't worth a billion plus dollars.
Apparently I read that yesterday. Aren't you know, willing to
pay for their own stadium. It's their team, it's the
revenue that they make off of playing in the stadium.
Why shouldn't they fund the damn thing. Jason pretty much
on my side of the ledger when it comes to
public dollars tax pair dollars used to fund the stadiums.

(08:24):
So Dan Monk and Paula Christian reporting on this bill,
Blessing's idea, since AT Bengals and FC Cincinnati could improve
their chances for state funding by well ending that Cleveland
Browns deal that they negotiated with the House up here

(08:45):
in Columbus, giving them six million dollars of taxpayer dollars
funded by bonds that you and I will have to
pay over the course of what twenty five years, which
Dwaine even said, I just want to make it very clear,
we do not have this money, referring to the six
hundred million dollar ask, and again it's just for the

(09:08):
Cleveland Browns complex. If you just bond the money that
the Browns want, he said, that's a billion dollars over
a period of twenty five years. It's about forty two
to forty five million every year out of the budget.
We do not have that money. We can't take it
away from education. There's a pathway, but that's not the pathway.
His original idea was to raise the gambling tax, which

(09:31):
I don't necessarily think is the right thing to do.
Why are you taxing gambling more than anything else. That's
Blessing's idea. He wants to double the Ohio sports betting
tax close to forty percent in order to fund not
just the Cleveland Browns deal, but basically every other stadium
deal in the entire state of Ohio, he said. Blessing said,

(09:54):
I think the Bengals' best option to this point would
be to lock arms with other teams and get behind
the Governor's proposals start working Senate members on how this
is much more sustainable. So after the Cleveland Browns well
got rid of the Governor's plan and ended up I
don't know how or what the hell the House is thinking,
but they give Cleveland Browns this six hundred million bond

(10:17):
deal and again, as DeWine points out, a lot of
money annually to cover the debt service on it. But
just the Browns benefit from this, and all the residents
of the state of Ohio who will never set foot
in that complex are supposed to pay for it, at
least to the two of six hundred million dollars of
the total one two point two billion dollar Dome Stadium

(10:38):
entertainment district. So, of course, following up on that, they
apparently weren't present during these requests. The Bengals had said
they want three hundred and fifty million dollars for their
stadium upgrades, totaling eight hundred and fifty million dollars. FC
Cincinnati wants to be reimburse thirty percent of the constructuction

(11:00):
costs on its planned three hundred and thirty two million
dollar mixed use development near TQL Stadium. Oh see, everybody
starts lining up Cleveland. Brown's got what they wanted. Well,
how about giving us something too. Why don't you ask
the taxpayers in the state of Ohio. They're behind this,
Blessing said the quote. As Senate members see this kind

(11:22):
of spiraling out of control, they're gonna see they're gonna
either do one of two things, nothing at all, or
they're going to just agree. You know what, Let's solve
this once and for all with the plan the governor proposed,
in other words, increase in the revenue on the gambling
tax to pay for everything. I like the first of
the two options. How about nothing at all? Screw all

(11:44):
of you people, Blessing said. The Bengals requests would be
a hard sell in the Senate quote simply because six
hundred million dollars. The Brown is a hard sell. You
add three hundred and fifty million dollars for the Bengals. Eventually,
the Reds, the Guardians, the Blue Jackets, all of these

(12:05):
other teams are going to want money. Like FC Cincinnati,
legislation hasn't been specifically introduced on this addressing it, It's
reported Blessing is introduced to bill that could revive the
governor's stadium funding plan in a Senate version of the budget.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Again.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
This Senate Bill one fifty would increase the sports betting
tax to thirty six percent and require teams to submit
proposals to a newly created Sports Venue Redevelopment Commission. That's it,
let's put another commission in play here. Also, the proposal
limits state contributions to forty percent of project costs. Somebody wrote,

(12:47):
wtf after that, how do you arrive at forty percent? Well,
it's a cap. That way the taxpayers of the state
of ohioan have to pay more than forty percent.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Oh great, free.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
It's part FC Cincinnati's proposed revisions to the House budget
bill in the hopes of them securing funding for their
mixed use development near TQL stadium revisions include language allowing
for thirty percent reimbursement of the construction costs for a quote,
transformation or transformational major sports facility mixed usee project. Are

(13:21):
you ready for the limitation in a county with at
least seven hundred and fifty thousand in population? You see,
that's where the limitation was in the Browns deal. It
limited to counties with a million people. And we don't
have that many people in Hamilton County. So just pair
that number back and then cut out all the other
counties in the state of Ohio that don't have seven

(13:41):
hundred and fifty thousand population. That way, you deny their
sports teams, as small as they may be, any opportunity
to get state dollars to improve their facilities. FC released
the statement. FC Cincinnati stronger believes that if the state
of Ohio is to be involved in stadium projects, there

(14:03):
should be a mechanism for all the states teams to
be eligible for comparable support. Well, that will be all
except for the seven hundred and fifty thousand less uh
population counties in the state.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yes, I'm perturbed by all of this. Five nineteen fifty
five Kara City Talk station. Feel free to chime in
and give me a call.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Be right back.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Five twenty three fifty five ker City Talk Station fee
fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two three Talk five
five fifty on AT and T fund. Let's see what
Chuck's got to say this morning. Chuck, welcome to the
Morning Show and a very happy Friday Eve to you.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Good morning. I don't know how many universities and colleges
are in Ohio, but what they all like, you know,
Dome Stadium, add in the high schools. Edit on Dome Stadium.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, added to the mix.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, just but not that's fund everything, you know, Chuck,
we do have just an infinite, unlimited amount of money.
There's just so much money they've got up there. They
have no budget issues, no problems. The list of you know,
wants and needs is as long as a mile, and
we can fund everything that everyone wants from government, adam
of the list.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
I do know a way to help pay for it
is taking half of the Senate, the Ohio State Senate,
and stuff's pay going towards it.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
That would help.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Well. I like the idea conceptually, because they're the one
voting money out of your pocket, chuck to give to
private entities like the Bengals to fund their grand and
glorious you know, stadiums. You know, bread and circuses, folks,
bread and circuses. But they are taxpayers too, I imagine,

(15:53):
so they are paying in part for this as well.
So they're voting money out of their own paychecks. But
I like your idea better. They should bear the brunt
of these ridiculous expenditures of money. I mean, this isn't
like we're talking about education funding that would you know,
serve the public good or not as the case maybe
depending on how that education funding is going. But you know,

(16:17):
we can all collectively appreciate the need to educate our children.
It's a you know, it crosses political boundaries and lines.
You know, the children need a good education. Yes, then
you can argue all day long about what that education
should consist of. And there's certainly a lot of cultural
division in society over that. But we're talking about private,

(16:38):
multi millionaire individual families that own sports teams that are
getting your money. And what percentage of the population goes
to the games anywhere or can even afford to go
to the game. Jason Williams mentioned concessions you know the
concessions outlets the other day funding some of these the improvements. Well,

(17:01):
that's why you're paying twelve to fifteen bucks a pop
for a beer, only to go up more if they're
allocating some of their revenue to do stadium improvements that
I keep arguing aren't really necessary. Do you need to
make sure the concrete is secure and fixed and not crumbling? Absolutely?
Do you need to need to make sure that the

(17:22):
electric facilities are all working and in working order and
not dangerous?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Absolutely? Maintenance and upkeep.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Oh no, But we need millions and millions and millions
of dollars to improve the private boxes that even fewer
in the population will ever set foot in five twenty
six fifty five KRCD talk station. I think I might
need a moment of quiet reflection, which I could get

(17:53):
at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Montgomery, beautiful Serene, a
place for quiet, contemplace, prayer, reflection, pondering the mysteries of life,
like why taxpayer dollars are going to private individuals. Don't
hold that against gay to Heaven Cemetery. They may hold
a different view on that. I'm just interjecting my personal
thoughts as I do a live spot for this beautiful

(18:15):
facility and it is gorgeous, seasonal flowers, trim lawns, they've
got beautiful walking paths. Take a stroll and enjoy the
good things of life, focus on what's really positive. It's
a perfect place to do that and it is open

man allegedly raped and impregnated a twelve year old girl.
Prosecutors say the man's accused of raping the twelve year
old repeatedly between October and January. The girl, now thirteen,

(19:49):
is pregnant. He could face up to thirty three years
in prison if he's convicted. That'd be hard time, wouldn't it, Joe,
Prosecutor Pillage, I will not tolerate abuse of children in
this community. This adult man prayed to a young girl
and stole her innocence. He will be prosecutor to the

negate his crime?

This in Union, Kentucky neighborhood. Happened yesterday morning, court to
the Boone County Sheriff's Office. The spokesperson, Philip Ridge I

(21:15):

According to court record.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
She's been charged with seven felonies or was rather charged
with seven felonies in November, including attempted murder, battery, and
criminal confinement in Lawrence County, Indiana. Exactly, we go to Japan,

(27:47):
Satama Prefecture. Specifically, we have a naked man arrested on
suspicion of breaking into a CRAM school in Soca City. Now,
I looked up CRAM school because I'd never heard of
it before. The concept is, well, you cram there. It's
like a focus is on intensive study and preparation for
specific exams, notably university entrance exam. So there's your basis

(28:09):
for it. Anyway, happened Monday night. Also suspected of being
involved in a number of traffic accidents in which one
person was killed and six people were injured. Police said
the suspects had been identified as Disuke Nishimura, forty eight
years old. According to tv A Sahai reporting, Police told
a news conference that they are investigating his involvement in

(28:31):
the fatal hit and run, theft of a taxi in
three additional incidents occurring before he broke into the CRAM school.
Please say, there were multiple reports of a completely naked
man with tattoos, stealing a vehicle in Satama City and
causing a hit and run incident which a man on
a motorcycle was killed. Later in the day, nine pm,

(28:52):
nishimour reportedly stole a taxi and kaka want to see
Kawaguchi city. You're all familiar with that one mail driver
in the sixties had two passengers in the backseat. When
the taxi stopped in an intersection. Nishimura dragged the driver
out of the vehicle, yelling quote, I'll kill you and
then assaulting him, stole the taxi with the passengers still inside.

(29:13):
That taxi crashed outside the Cram school while still naked.
Nishimura entered the Cram school about nine thirty pm. When
a school official called out to him, Nishimura punched him
in the right side of the head without saying a word.
Police recalled and then took Nishimura into custody. Police said
Nishimura was neither confirmed nor to neither confirmed nor denied

(29:35):
the allegations, and quoted him as saying, it would be
bad if I told you that we're on a roll here.
Joe five forty five aty five, caresee the talk station.
You want to stay on a roll in your ride,
get it serviced at Foreign Exchange. If you got a Tesla,
get it service to Foreign Exchange. Traditionally European or Asian

(29:57):
manufacturer cars. Foreign Exchange is the answer draw your prayers,
because you get an outstanding mechanic taking care of your car,
a S certified mechanic. He will be and they'll take
great care of the car, and you'll leave with a
full warranty on parts in service as you would expect.
But the great thing about Foreign Exchange is they don't
charge you the outrageous dealer prices to service your car.

(30:17):
It's all about saving money and getting great satisfaction with
the repair job. Plus, if you want to talk to
the mechanic, you can in Foreign Exchange. I know you
got that buffer. The service manager that'll stand in your
way if you go to the dealer said, don't go
to the dealer. I mean unless your car is under warranty.
But even if it is like my car, taking to
Foreign Exchange for the non covered by warranty items like

(30:38):
oil changes where you'll save a heapload of money. I do,
especially if you have a German car. I don't know
what it is with German cars and the cost of

Do what the hell?

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Forty three year old Terry Suitor made her first quarter
court appearance the other day this week when she was
after being arrested by Spokane Valley Police Department deputies who
reportedly had to subdue her with a stun gun when
she threatened to harm herself for she tried to turn
a knife on herself. That day, she allegedly stabbed her
adult daughter and then attacked her mom According to the

(32:54):
affidavit of facts attained by the local ABC affiliate, there,
suit was heard saying to her mother, I hope you.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Accord of the Affidavid.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Suitor's daughter, who was not named, was in her bedroom
with her child, suitor's grandchild, when suitor came in and
allegedly stabbed her daughter. The accused daughter tried to protect
her own child from suitor's alleged attack. Knife wielding mom
stabbed her a second time. Daughter fought back to get
her mother out of the room. She realized that she

(33:23):
had been stabbed in the back and chest. Aff data
stated suitor left the room, after which suitor's daughter hurt
her grandmother that would be Suitor's mother screaming from another
part of the house. Suitor's daughter went in to help
her grandmother and heard suitor say to her again, I
hope you die. Affidavid reportedly said suitor not only allegedly
stabbed her own mom, but then pushed her down the

(33:46):
stairs before stabbing her again. Suitor's daughter tried to stop
the alleged attack on grandmother by fighting suitor off.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
With a baby gait.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Multiple use it of my guess yes, after David says Suit,
as his mother told police, at one point during the
alleged attack, she heard her daughter say, I'm going to
get even with you for ruining my life. It's in quotes, officers, right, yeah.
Officers arrived to the scene, Suit allegedly still wielding a knife.
Refusing to drop the weapon, she reportedly threatened to harm herself.
That's when deputies pulled the taser out and then took

(34:20):
her into custody. Daughter and mother taking the hospital for
serious but fortunately not life threatening injuries. Both women told
police Suitor's attack on them was not provoked. Spokesperson for
the two victims during the first court appearance read a
statement about the concerns for their safety, saying, this is
not a sane woman. She's always told me that she
wants me dead. This is not her first time being violent.

(34:42):
I want this charge at its highest ability. She was
living with us at the time, and it just shows
that if she could do this to her mother and daughter,
she could do it to anyone. There's no telling what
she's capable of charge. With two Council of assault bail
set at half a million dollars, I don't know what
planet I'm on, no kidding. Continue that thought. North Austin,

then Jay Ratliffe, of course, every Thursday at eight thirty
I heard media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. Before you get
onto other stories, Bill's on the phone. Let's find out
what Bill's got this morning. Bill, thanks for calling. Welcome
to the Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (42:21):
Good morning, Brian. Hey about your stadium ordeal. I'm talking
to a couple of friends of mine. Why can't Hamilton
County and the one up there in Cleveland, why can't
they do it to where if you buy a ticket
in Hamilton County, it's so much money for a ticket
to go to the Bengals or even the Reds. And

(42:43):
then if you're in Butler County or in Kentucky or Indiana,
it costs a little bit more. That way, everybody's paying
the tax.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
Well, I think primarily because ticket sales alone will not
find eight hundred and fifty million dollars project, So why
not jack up the price of the ticket to cover
the cost of the of what they want to how
about the improvements? So every ticket, rather than being already
out of reach for the vast majority of people who
are on a budget and can't afford to pay their

(43:12):
property taxes, why not make it like, I don't know,
eight hundred dollars a ticket and then they can pay
their own bills.

Speaker 10 (43:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (43:20):
I wasn't really speaking like that. I was saying through
time it would, you know, help bring back some of
the money. But uh, you know, even concerts where I
was in there, I was just trying to come up
with a better idea.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Yeah, well that would because they're going to.

Speaker 9 (43:34):
Go after the They're going to go after the casinos
and everything, and and I just think that's unfair because
it's going to be instead of going down and playing
crafts for fifteen dollars on the table, it's going to
be twenty five dollars at table, and you know it's
going to cut people out of that down there in Cincinnati. Well,

(43:55):
they manage anywhere in Ohio.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
They manage their revenues based on the popularity of games
and to the extra taxes on gaming comes out of
the profits. So it's like, you know, if you the
more money you make under the tax code, the more
money the government takes from you. Well, if you're in
the wrong business and they determined that your business is
like evil or sinful or just brand new, we're going

(44:17):
to tax extra. Like the online gambling, it's just a
new thing. It's legalized now, so they're using that as
an excuse to jack the tax up. And that's exactly
what Senator Bill Blessing wants to do, is charge double
these sports betting tax and jacket up to close to
forty percent.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Well yeah, I mean.

Speaker 9 (44:35):
I lived in Missouri for about twenty years and during
the COVID on the you can look it up. On
twenty twenty one, they had a big meeting about in
jeff City about how much they made during COVID. Let's
just say it was five hundred million, and then they
said how much went to the schools was three percent.

(44:57):
I sure wish somebody would look into our you know,
Ohio lottery and see why why can't the casinos if
they're gonna have to pay a bigger tax, why can't
they compete with the Hire lottery and put tickets inside
the gas stations. I bet more people would buy those
tickets than the Ohire lottery tickets.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Well, I think it's basically what you're coming up with
is like what our elected officials come up with. It
just pulling ideas from their sphincter, right, and you know
none of them and if you look at it from
a logical and reasonable standpoint, really make much sense. But
I'll go back to my criticism of your money, my money,
my earnings being used to fund entities like Paul Well,

(45:39):
Paul Brow pay Course Stadium. I don't get any profit
from that. I can't really even afford a good to
a game. I guess I can afford to, but who
A lot of people can't even afford to go in there,
and yet they're going to work every day. You think
of some working family, maybe the family income is like
sixty thousand dollars a year. Do you think they have
enough money to buy four tickets? Got two kids, wife,
and a husband go down to the stadium afforded buy

(46:02):
the tickets in the first place, then afford to spend
eight dollars for a cony and fifteen dollars for a beer.
I mean, it's out of most people's reat and yet
part of their earnings are going to pay for the
damn stadium, a stadium that they can't even walk into.
And maybe they're not even football fans. You know, you
got to put that in the equation as well.

Speaker 9 (46:21):
I don't understand why the football games are always on
TV even if they don't sell out. Where right now
they're selling out. But I mean, well, the blackout rule
was great. When I had season tickets for the Bengals,
My tickets were like five and fifty nine dollars for
the whole year.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Yeah, well, the blackout rule.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
The blackout rule ensured that the stadium would feel regardless
of how well the team was doing, so you can't
watch it locally, even though now, in this particular instance,
your taxpayer dollars are funding the stadium in which they play.
I think they do that to keep the fan base
up and to legitimize their public or they're asked for
public dollars. There's a lot of fans out there, yeah,

(47:02):
and most of the fans watch from their home, which
is a better place to watch a game from big
screen TV, your own lower cost beer, your better quality food,
and your own clean bathroom.

Speaker 9 (47:13):
So one last thing, Brian, I'd just like to say,
I feel sorry for Hyde Park and all the mother
what cities, thirty two of them. I think you were
the other day about them and how they're going to
be able to go around it. The only thing I
could say is let's get rid of our cities and
go to one county, the whole county. We can all
vote for those people.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
You might want to reseat that proposition, I don't know.
The whole county voted for those three individuals, all three Democrats,
all three You can judge their own competence on your own,
you know, perception of whether they're competent or do a
good job or not. But in Hamilton County, where Hamilton
County voters did decide who is running the county, that's

(47:52):
who you got. So mind what you ask for, Bill.

Six fifty five kr CD talk station at Thursday h
everybody Great. Supreme Court case teed up on Tuesdays Oral
arguments and the YEA the prognosticators are suggesting it does
appear as if the Supreme Court will be siding with

(52:19):
Maryland parents that are seeking to opt out of their
children being indoctrinated with some pretty unusual and fairly graphic texts,
particularly noting that we're talking about kindergarten through fifth grade students.
Group of religious parents, they sued the Maryland School Board

(52:39):
over its refusal to allow their K through five children
to opt out of LGBTQ plus curriculum. This goes back
to twenty twenty two, where the Montgomery County Board of
Education announced their new inclusivity books for K through five
students and then took away parental notice and opt outs
for storybooks that discussed top like gender transitions, pride parades,

(53:03):
and preferred pronouns. Among the books the Pride Puppy, Uncle
Bobby's Wedding, Born Ready, the True Story of a Boy
named Penelope. In twenty twenty three, a federal court upheld
a lower court decision that sided with Maryland's largest school district.

(53:23):
That's when a mix of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish parents
appealed to the Supreme Court, which agreed to take the
case up in January and the oral arguments were just
this Tuesday. In the petition, parents ultimately asked the Supreme
Court do public schools burden parents religious exercise when they
compel elementary school to children to participate in instruction on

(53:45):
gender and sexuality against their parents' religious convictions without notice
or an opportunity to opt out. That's the question in
front of the Supreme Court. To Eric Baxter, the Beckett
Fund for Religious Liberty at Tree, or any representing the parents.
The school board does not dispute that, under its theory,
could compel instructions using pornography and parents would have no rights.

(54:13):
The First Amendment demands more parents, not school board, should
have the final say on such religious matters. Valid point
for me. During oral argument, Justice Amy Coney Barrett noted
that the High Court quote does not have to decide
whether you get to get to the opt out. We
just have to decide if the Fourth Circuit accurately defined

(54:34):
what a burden is. Later, Justice Barrett seem a bit
worried that LGBTQ plus materials were not only about exposing
young students to different ideas, but about trying to make
students think this is the right view of the world
and how you should think. Now, that's a critical point
that Barrett observed, which is why people are thinking, Yeah,

(54:56):
this looks like that may go the way of the parents.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh at one point said he said, in
his words, he was a bit mystified as a lifelong
resident of the county how it even came to this.
Kavanaugh told the school board's attorney, a guy named Alan Schoenfeld,
I guess I'm just not understanding the whole goal. I

(55:17):
think of some of our religion precedents is to look
for the win win, to look for the situation where
you can respect the religious police and accommodate the religious
beliefs while the state or city or whatever it may
be can pursue its goals. And here, he continued, they're
not asking you to change what's taught in the classroom.
They being the plaintiffs, They're not asking you to change

(55:39):
that at all. A lot of the rhetorics suggest that
they might have that they were trying to do that,
but that's not what they're trying to do. They're only
seeking to be able to walk out so that they
don't have so the parents don't have their children exposed
to these things that are contrary to their own beliefs.
It's a very important point. Justice Alita Press shown Fell

(56:05):
the attorney for the school board on why the schools
decided not to accommodate the students when they had to
opt out, when they had opt outs for other materials
and subjects, saying, well, the plaintiffs here are not asking
the school to change its curriculum. They're just saying, look,
we went out. Why isn't that feasible? What is the

(56:25):
big deal about allowing them to opt out of this?
And at one point Gorsic's basically got shown Fell the
attorney for the school district to admit that the school
board included the books in the curriculum for the purpose
of influencing the children. The attorney John felt so Pride

(56:45):
Puppy was the book that was used for the pre
kindergarten curriculum. That's no longer in the curriculum. Gorsics asked, well,
that's the one where they're supposed to look for the
leather and thing and bondage and things like that. Shoan
Feld's response, it's not bondage, it's a woman in leather. Gourse,

(57:06):
it's a sex worker. Justice Barrett later injected and said
it was a drag queen, to which Joan Feld said, correct, okay,
so it's not a bondage person, it's not a sex worker.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
It's a drag queen.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
And we're talking about a book that was presented to
kindergarteners here, folks. Gorsic said, yeah, okay, And you've included
these in the English language curriculum rather than the human
sexuality curriculum to influence students. Is that fair? That's what
the district court found. Do you agree with that, shoon Feld?

(57:42):
I think to the extent the district court found that
it was to influence, It was to influence them toward civility,
the natural consequences of being exposed to Gorset's interjected, whatever,
but to influence them. Liberal leading justices seem concerned about

(58:03):
having to define burdens sonya sodomi are aspects, or how
do we make it very clear that the mere exposure
to things that you object to is not coercion. Justice
Katenji Brown stated, the parents can hear it. This is
great because she basically is endorsing school choice. Liberal Justice
Katenji Brown suggests that the parents can choose to put

(58:23):
their kids elsewhere instead of public schools that they do
not believe in what's being taught.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Quote.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
I guess I'm struggling to see how it burdens parents'
religious exercise. If the school teaches something that the parent
disagrees with, you have a choice. You don't have to
send your kids to that school. Oh what about the
arguments from all the folks that say, well, only rich
people can afford to send their kids to private schools.
What is some poor family supposed to do if they
harbor very profound religious beliefs and they don't have the

(58:51):
financial opportunity to send their kids to an alternative school.
They don't have funding that follows the child in any
particular state, because the teachers' Union's right heard over where
the money goes, and it goes to public schools where
they're teaching their kids this stuff in kindergarten. Jackson claimed,

(59:12):
we don't at this moment based on the record you've provided.
Note that these books aren't just sitting on shelves.

Speaker 8 (59:19):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
Clarence Thomas ass back to how the record shows that
the children are more than merely exposed to these sorts
of things in the story books. And this is the
point here, and I think it's very profound. One. We
know that the teachers are required to use the books.
When the books were first introduced in August of twenty two,

(59:43):
the board suggested they be used five times before the
end of the year. Baxter pointed outside the transcript of
the evidence men of the court, one of the schools,
he said, the Sherwood School in June for Pride Month,
said that they were going to read one book each
day to sell a bait celebrate Pride Month. The board's
own testimony through the superintendent Hazel said that the books

(01:00:05):
must be used as part of the instruction and that
discussion will ensue. Baxer pointed out that was the entire
point of withdrawing the opt outs, and they're removing even
the notifying parents. They're not even allowed to know. The
boards said in the statement that it was so that
every student would be taught from the inclusivity storybooks. So

(01:00:28):
there you go, that's indoctrination. The books could very well
be in the library, the children could go and pick
them up, but the teachers wouldn't be criming it down
their throat and telling the children that this is how
you should believe, and if you believe something to the contrary,
you are wrong. That's why they bring the books up
five times a year. That's why they celebrate the books,

(01:00:49):
because you're supposed to celebrate this Pride month that runs
contrary to these people's religious beliefs. There's a fundamental difference there.
You can argue all day long about book banning and
why isn't this material available in the library if some
child wants to check it out, that's a different argument
than having it built into the curriculum and being read
from it over and over and over again, which is

(01:01:12):
probably more instruction on this so called inclusivity and welcoming
this belief system than any of these children ever get
when they go to church or synagogue or mosque. They're
being indoctrinated. And that's why the parents wanted to opt out.
So let's hope the Supreme Court does the right thing
and give parents the choice that liberal Justice Ktenjie Brown

(01:01:33):
was talking about without having to put them in a
private school. Six twenty nine. If the five KRC the

Let's see what George has got. George, thanks for calling
this morning.

Speaker 16 (01:05:52):
Yeah, I just had one comment and it kind of
flies to all the stories this morning. Is it's not
bad guys we got to worry about We can spot them.
It's the do gooders that keep enabling them.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Yeah, there are a lot of useful idiots in the world, George.
That's how people end up with socialist governments and pursuing
Marxism and communism and backcrap insanity like the idea that
a guy can actually be a woman just because he
declares it. So Yep, not much more to say about that, Georgia.

(01:06:30):
If our people were more intellectual, more logical, more reasonable,
and more insightful about their well the choices they make,
then I think the world will be a much better place.
Maybe that's the point of the destruction of the education
system turning into a little indoctrination camps where children do
not think freely and do not ponder things, and do
not engage in thoughtful discourse and optional and alternative opinions.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
We can't have that. You must believe this, so Orwellian.

Speaker 17 (01:09:13):
Good morning, Brian, Thank you so much. I really appreciate
you speaking up for the children and every chance you get.
The case in Massachusetts is deeply disturbing, obviously, and it's
just continuing the story of what's happening in so many.

Speaker 11 (01:09:26):
Of the schools.

Speaker 17 (01:09:28):
As a society, we do not have a posture of
protecting children, and it's really a huge problem. And like
your prior caller said about the people who protect them,
there is a lot of pretending out there. They act
like they care about the children and they deal with
their mental health, and they've got all these bullying things

(01:09:49):
in place, but yet these are the kinds of things
that are actually happening, and it's very evil.

Speaker 3 (01:09:55):
I absolutely agree with you that it's evil. I mean,
and what is the of incorporating this material into a
curriculum when our children can barely read and write and
perform mathematical skills. They're falling behind in the test scoring
across this entire country, and they're spending and using valuable
education time that will actually help still students with their

(01:10:17):
future and employment and real life skills in doctrining them
and stuff that they shouldn't even be touching.

Speaker 17 (01:10:24):
Right, And I think we're all seeing in like real
time and real life the breakdown of the brain and
the learning. And you know, we see these young kids
out and about at these jobs and they really are
struggling to problem solve and do the simplest mass. I mean,
I think everybody is seeing that. And I also it
just causes such mass confusions in the children, which tears

(01:10:48):
down their confidence, which also speaks to what you're saying.
They're not available to do the learning that they need
to do because they just feel so confused and insecure.
I mean, we're talking about preschool in kindergartener's being a
read a story like that, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
I mean it's it's sexual content. I mean, you can
say what you want about the existence of your ability
to live and and and and thrive and survive next
to someone who perceives that, you know, transgender people are
actually the different sex than they are. Fine, we can
live side by side, but you can't tell me that
that's right. And you shouldn't be telling children, especially at

(01:11:25):
that age, that that is the absolute truth. It is
not biologically it is different and they think, you know,
you ask the little kid, you know, they're you know,
are you boy or a girl?

Speaker 9 (01:11:36):
A girl?

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
And yeah, they know the difference between the two. But
then you're standing there telling them that's not it. It's
it's it's a choice that they get to make. That's
not right. But why are they engaging in the conversation
in the first place at that age, and to talk
about so much of this lgbt Q plus stuff is
a discussion about sexuality.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Sex.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
Children shouldn't be talking about sex in kindergarten, not just
the distinctions between the sex, but in order to discuss
what a gay person is, what a lesbian is, what
a bisexual person is, that is their sexual proclivity, that
is their romantic, you know, private intercourse kind of discussion.

(01:12:20):
Why does a child need to be discussing that. It's
it's almost like an element of grooming.

Speaker 4 (01:12:24):
Is it not?

Speaker 17 (01:12:26):
It absolutely is, absolutely is. Thank you, Brian, keep fighting
for the children. I so appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:34):
I'm happy to be here in a position to do it.
Somebody's got to speak truth to power, and there's a
lot of nutcases out there in power. Jamie Thank you
so much for listening and for calling this morning. Jay,
thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Speaker 9 (01:12:46):
Hey, thanks Brian.

Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
Hey.

Speaker 11 (01:12:48):
One or two comment on your good conversation yesterday with
Donovan O'Neil regarding the Range Act. Oh yeah, which which
is for the listeners who don't know, that is if
a government bureaucracy, government department spends over one hundred thousand
dollars or a million bucks, that they get the brake

(01:13:09):
slammed on them and it has to go to Congress
for a promo. Here and a couple of good examples
got brought up. Which was one of my favorites is
the cafe standards, and I'll throw another one of when
it's gone wrong. Cafe standards were put in place by
Jimmy Carter's administration with a bureaucrat with a pen. So

(01:13:29):
I'm all for the Rains Act. But as Republicans can
we stop putting complex processes full of hurdles in place
while Democrats just tends to whip this stuff in. I
don't know why Lee's velden, and actually I think it
sits with National Highway Transportation Safety Association. Why the Trump
administration does it say right now because of the tariffs.

(01:13:52):
We have a beautiful Ford plant down there in Sharonville.
We have automotive plants in Cleveland, Toledo, Hondas up in
northeast northwest Ohio.

Speaker 9 (01:14:01):
Why aren't we.

Speaker 11 (01:14:03):
Telling Lee Zelden like this should have been done day
two get rid of the cafe standards. And during the
Obama administration, a bureaucrat with a pen decided that carbon
dioxide was a pollutant. If they got rid of those
two things, that would unlock the automaker's hands so much
and get rid of so much unrequired spending and waste

(01:14:26):
that I bet it more than offset the impact of
the terrace. So this is not this does not have
to be processed, that does not have to be part
of RAINZEC. If they put it in with a pen,
take it out with a pen, and let's get on
with it. So I would encourage everybody on the phone,
pick up your phone and call the EPA, call least Zelden,
call your elected call Senator Marino, Senator Houston, and tell

(01:14:50):
them let's go. This is this is the cafe standards
have been around since.

Speaker 12 (01:14:56):
I've been alive.

Speaker 11 (01:14:56):
Damn here, Yeah, four thing forcing automakers do to overproduce
small vehicles that people don't want to buy in order
to do what get that average fuel efficiency average fuel
fleet efficiency down to some government artificial standard versus let
ford make the products that people want to buy.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
Yeah, well, you remember when small cars became popular. It
was in after the early seventies, when they were still
making cars the size of yachts. The Japanese came in
and enter the market because they had fuel efficient cars.
That was when the price of gasoline went through the roof.
What did people want? They wanted something they got more
miles per gown than six The demand in the market

(01:15:36):
was there. You didn't have to create a CAFE standard
for tailpipe emissions. You just needed to come up with
a more fuel efficient car. So that was the answer
to the problem. And then the Japanese dominated the market
until domestic manufacturers started churning out smaller cars that got
better mileage. The CAFE standards then turned into this element
of protecting the planet global warming.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Oh my god, we're all.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Gonna die, and so they shot the CAFE base standers
to the roof, such at the internal combustion engine. Due
to the laws of physics and the amount of energy
that a gallon of gasoline can actually produce. Evs are
the only thing that could meet that or exceed the
CAFAEED standards because they don't put out any emissions, but
people don't want them.

Speaker 11 (01:16:16):
Or not or welf Ford Ford has to buy carbon
emission offsets from Tesla. You have to take your profit
buy carbon offsets from an EV producer in order to
produce the vehicle that the market wants to buy. Exactly
it is, how are they how are they stilling business?
It's amazing. So for crying out loud Republicans, this one's

(01:16:39):
not hard. If Lee's Eldon is who Les Eldon says
he is, this should have been done Day one that
should have been done is right after inauguration. I'm not
saying enough, honestly.

Speaker 4 (01:16:50):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (01:16:50):
And I'm starting to get a little concerned with the deportations,
the deregulation. Some of this just ain't that hard. And
where are the prosecutions. I know it takes a little while.
With Pam bondy, Okay, it's been a little while.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):

for justice in this world, and I know people are
frustrated with the judicial system, but score a win in
the name of sanity. Kind of continuing a theme that
I was talking about earlier with this, you know, indoctrination

(01:19:57):
of children and parents not even be able to get
their kids out of class. We all have this whole
idea that you know you can modify a child by
giving him hormones and lopping things off or sewing them on.
As the case may be a victory for doctor Allan
Josephson to work for nearly fifteen years as the chief
of the University of Louisville Division a child in adolescent
psychiatry and psychology.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
He just settled.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
The University of louis Louisville agreed to settle him by
paying him one point six million dollars for their treatment
of him because he spoke out loud, speaking truth to power.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
Court.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
To his legal complaint, he was able to turn around
the struggling division at the Louisville University of Louisville.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
During his tenure.

Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
He got perfect scores on his annual reviews between twenty
fourteen twenty sixteen despite his accomplishments. The complaint he filed
alleged that he was demoted in twenty seventeen then eventually
fired after making comments in his own capacity as a
free rights human being challenging the push to use hormone
therapy and surgery for children with gender dysphoria. Lilions defending

(01:21:06):
freedom represented him. Justin said in the statement, I'm glad
to finally receive vindication for voicing what I know is
to true. Sorry, children deserve better than a life altering
procedure that mutilate their bodies and destroy their ability to
lead fulfilling lives. In spite of the circumstances I suffered

(01:21:26):
through my university, I am overwhelmed to see that my
case help lead the way for other medical practitioners to
see the universal truth that altering biological sex is impossibly dangerous,
while acceptance of one sex leads to flourishing. October twenty seventeen,
joseph'n participate in a panel discussion on transgender ideology that

(01:21:48):
was hosted by a conservative organization, the Heritage Foundation.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
You guys know all about that. He spoke out.

Speaker 3 (01:21:53):
Against gender ideology activism influenced the medical influencing the medical
treatment of children experiencing gender dys for you see, they
used to treat it with therapy. Upon learning of his remarks,
officials at the university's LGBT center They've Got One, pressured
his division to take disciplinary action against them. Scrutiny of

(01:22:14):
his views intensified after he appeared as an expert witness
in a legal case involving a school district's bathroom policy
around gender identity. A few of his colleagues objected to
his remarks and pushed the administration to take disciplinary action
against them, According to the complaint, next month, he was
informed by the university that he was being demoted from
chief of the division to a junior faculty member. Complaint

(01:22:37):
allegence the university officials continued to in the words that
the complaint belittle and berate him, inflicting irreparable damage to
his professional career and reputation. They cut his salary, they
cut his benefits, and then he was told in February
of twenty nineteen that his contract would not be removed,
basically firing him. That was what led to the lawsuit.
He alleged the school retaliated against him for expressing his

(01:23:00):
views in violation of his First Amendment rights and right
to do process and equal protection under the law. Six
year legal battle resulted in a favorable Senate settlement, according
to announcement from the Alliance Defending Freedom one point six
million dollars ADYF Senior counsel Travis Barthaman a statement Borum.

(01:23:21):
Hopefully other public universities will learn from this that if
they violate the First Amendment, they can be held accountable
and it can be very expensive. Score one for the
good guys. Todd Zenzer after the top of the ur news,
hope we can stick around.

A full rundown and the biggest ten lines just minutes
away at the top of the hour.

I'm giving you a fact now Americans should know.

(01:24:04):
named Brian Thomas.

Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
Always pleased to see in studio the man who's keeping
his eye on the shenanigan's going on, and there are
so many shenanigans going on. I'm surprised he's able to
keep track of it. Todd Zenzer, former US Inspector General.
Now we have basically he's the inspector General for Hamilton
County and most notably City of Cincinnati. Welcome back, Todd Zenzer.
It's always great seeing you brother.

Speaker 12 (01:24:26):
Thank you, Brian.

Speaker 8 (01:24:26):
It's always good to be here.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
And he, of course is we.

Speaker 3 (01:24:28):
Citizen Watchdog is what we effectively call him. That's the
name of his podcast. Citizen Watchdog. You can find it,
and we're gonna learn about his latest podcast, probably going
to blow your mind. But this is gonna be This
hour is gonna fly by in no time, Todd.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
We've got so much to.

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
Talk about, really, I mean, you don't have to dwell
a whole lot. I had Smith Aman on for a
volume two of the Smooth Event yesterday because of the
equity whatever that that that that committee is that advanced
the proposal to amend the zoning laws in Hyde Park
seven to two vote. And then yesday, of course, city
Council voted seven to two to alter Hyde Park's zoning laws,

(01:25:10):
zoning laws which the City of Cincinnati imposed upon all
the neighborhoods, the connected community zoning laws.

Speaker 2 (01:25:16):
Right, that's right, Okay, So.

Speaker 3 (01:25:17):
They took away every community's ability to control their own destiny.
And that wasn't even that long ago, was it? Because
you and I talked about it last June, last June,
and then yesterday they undid their own blanket rule for
the entire city of since sant connectic communities by allowing
a variance to the connected communities and building in what

(01:25:38):
eighty five foot versus the fifty foot limitation, one hundred
and twenty bedroom, a hotel, and this whole new development
that it sounds like the vast majority of High Park
residents did not want.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
Were you at council meeting yesterday.

Speaker 8 (01:25:50):
I wasn't at council yesterday. I was at the committee
meeting on.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
Tuesday, So you saw what was there, You saw what's
going on.

Speaker 8 (01:25:57):
Absolutely, it was just incredible that in the citizens that
spoke were some of the most passionate, sincere articulate witnesses
you ever wanted to hear. And it just seems and
somebody mentioned it yesterday. I watched it on TV. A

(01:26:19):
citizen came forward yesterday and he said, you know what,
at the end of that committee meeting, three or four
of these council members had prepared remarks that they were making.
They prepared them ahead of time, which tells all of
us how that they had made their minds up before
they even walked into the room. So what is the

(01:26:40):
charade all about? And that's what we keep getting with
this city council, with this city mayor, is they do
all these things and they make it look like, oh,
the communities involved, and we're taking your issues into consideration.
They couldn't be farther from the truth. These city council
members made up their mind long ago, and there wasn't

(01:27:01):
anything that these citizens could do to change their minds.
And that's really what has to change in city Hall.

Speaker 3 (01:27:08):
Well, and you told me all fair, and I wasn't
even aware of it, because Hyde Park got organized to
stop this. They were loud, they had campaign signs or
save the Square or whatever. I mean, it was almost
like a campaign for political office in terms of their
opposition on this. And the targets, of course, were the
members of city council and the mayor. It wasn't the

(01:27:30):
entire community of Hyde Park over some bond issue or whatever.
They were just focusing their attention on elected officials in
the City of Cincinnati, Right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
But you said this happened also in bond Hill.

Speaker 8 (01:27:42):
Yes, sir, there was a development in bond Hill that
was proposed. Developer came in, met with the community up there,
they all supported it. He goes back and he changes
the plan and he makes he makes it look like
the neighborhood approved it. What he would was finally proposing
was not what the community voted on.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Jill Bait and Switch.

Speaker 8 (01:28:05):
Yes, very much so. And that's another one where the
city council just went with the developer.

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
Well connected developer.

Speaker 8 (01:28:15):
Well, for this city council, they're all well connected.

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
Yeah, you didn't coin the phrase. The last time you
were here, you pointed out on this Hyde Park issue
that we're talking about very well connected developers. In other words,
big developers with a lot of money that fun campaigns
and get done things done for them that the ordinary,
everyday voting citizen, the constituent can't get done.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
Right.

Speaker 8 (01:28:36):
What's interesting is one of the witnesses in supporting the
project that spoke at the meeting was a lobbyist for
the developer.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
I knew you were going too.

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
I think it was maybe like a family member or
one of the owners of the developers or something like that.

Speaker 8 (01:28:52):
Rumor is that she wants to run for city council.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Oh geez, Well, what I.

Speaker 8 (01:28:56):
Think is that if that's the case, in this city
so loves developers as much as they seem to love developers,
maybe one of them would get up, give up their seat,
or give up their spot on the blue ticket they
give to this lobbyist. Why not?

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
Why not?

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
I don't know if it would represent a change for
the good or the better or worse. It's just impossible
to know at this point. But what I draw from
this is clearly this dictatorial council ignores the will of
its voters, ignores the will of the citizenry, violates this
representative democracy process. They're supposed to take into consideration what

(01:29:37):
the majority of those folks out there want, and they
just basically raise their metaphorical middle finger at everybody in
Hyde Park and said, screw you.

Speaker 8 (01:29:44):
Well, it's been reported to me that Jeff Cramerdin was
being interviewed yesterday on the radio and he called the
citizens impediments and that's consistent with a grant that the
city prepared for HUD that called this citizens' barriers. So
that's really that's that's the city council in a nutshell.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:06):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
I'm sorry, that's disturbing.

Speaker 8 (01:30:08):
It's very disturbing. But there are two people on the
city council who get it, I know, the Vice mayor
and Scottie Johnson, and it's like, why aren't we listening
to the citizens here? And they just didn't carry the day.

Speaker 3 (01:30:25):
Well, Teelee, for reading's a little difficult, and I was
going to ask to you know who you were planning
on endorsing at the tail end of this discussion. But
since we only have a couple minutes left in the segment,
I when Corey Bowman was on, He's going to be
back on this program tomorrow, by the way, folks, if
you want to tune in for that. But when Corey
Bowmen was in here last time, we talked about this
issue and I said, you know what, Hyde Park vote's

(01:30:46):
pretty blue. They're for pretty much Democrats over there. I said,
because they are being ignored this city council and the
mayor aren't worthy of their support. Are going to alienate
so many people in Hyde Park. I said, Corey, you
may have a really good opportunity to at least maybe
get some campaign contributions and perhaps a good chunk of
the voters over in Hyde Park to vote for you.

(01:31:06):
The primary is coming up. If you know, this is
just this is the top two. They don't break it
down into party. So if the Hyde Park residents want
to really show how angry they are, they should overwhelmingly
vote for Corey bouma In. And I'm encouraging everybody in
the city of Cincinnati do the same.

Speaker 4 (01:31:23):
Thing.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
Wouldn't it be hilarious if Corey Bowman came out as
the top vote get er over aftab per Ball. That
would be something, Brian, I would be amazing. Yes, I mean,
we can have a party in celebration there. We're just
that accomplishment, not that he would ultimately become mayor, but
just for the people to voice their discontent and their
absolute outright outrage over what happened yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:31:46):
I think it'll be awesome.

Speaker 8 (01:31:48):
Yeah, well I hope. I hope that's the case, and
I hope they carry that through to the general election.

Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
Well I do too, And so I suppose I can
conclude from that that you are supporting Corey Boma.

Speaker 8 (01:31:58):
Oh yeah, absolutely, you know. And every day it just
this mayor reinforces that position, like on this over the
weekend when he appeared at this fifty to fifty one
protest downtown.

Speaker 3 (01:32:12):
He was they didn't even have a permit to block
the streets and there he was blocking the streets with
the rest of them.

Speaker 8 (01:32:18):
He was giving it everything he could, just like AOC.
He looked like AOC. He did, going on and on
about this individual deported to El Salvador, just going on
and on about it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:30):
The MS thirteen wife beating gang member that had been
arrested and already adjudicated a gang member.

Speaker 2 (01:32:35):
That guy, that guy.

Speaker 8 (01:32:36):
Yeah, yeah, I just can't. I just can't. Family man,
I just can't go there. He looks mainstream. Aftab Purval
is not mainstream.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
He isn't at all.

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
He's as left as they come from the same trunk
of socialist cloth as AOC. We will continue with Todd
zen or our zenso our citizen watchdog get a load
of this, folks, Cincinnati's green ambitions. I haven't gotten the
details yet, but baseball on the look on Todd Zenzer's face,
and I know you did a podcast about this the
other day, be prepared to be disgusted. Perhaps first, save money,

(01:33:09):
go to affordable imaging services, just like I did not
too long agot by most recent CT scan at affordable
imaging services, so I didn't have to pay five thousand
dollars at a hospital imaging department and then pay extra
for the board certified radiologist report. I paid six hundred
dollars because they needed a contrast four hundred and fifty
without a contrast, six hundred with a contrast. That's all
you pay. It's at Affordable Imaging Services. Yes, it's the

(01:33:31):
same kind of equipment the hospitals use. Yes, medical professionals
are operating it. No, my doctor had no issues whatsoever
with the scan or or the radiologist report, just like
the last couple times I did it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
Save money on echo cardograms and they'll get you right
in with an echo cardogram. We're talking about your heart here.
You want to wait around a month, We're worrying. No,
get right in at Affordable Imaging Services, where without an
enhancement it's only five hundred bucks eight hundred With an enhancement,
same thing across the board, MRIs, ultrasounds, long screening, cardiac scorings,
fraction of the cost, low overhead, but same equipment. The

(01:34:05):
results are always fine. Exercise of choice. You've got one

the talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
Seven nineteen fifty five KRCD talk Station Brian Thomas with
citizen Watchdog Todd Zenzer, a former Inspector General, keeping his
eye on the craziness going on in downtown Cincinnati and
pivoting over since that he apparently has some green ambitions.
I know this is your latest podcast, Citizen Watchdog. Find
out where you get your podcast, Todd, what's this insanity
all about?

Speaker 8 (01:35:41):
Well, Brian, I, like everybody else, see what's happening at
the federal level with funding and the EPA and the Department.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Of Energy, and.

Speaker 8 (01:35:51):
The money that the city has been getting on climate
activities is going to end. And you don't hear anybody
at city Hall talking about what they're going to do differently.
But since two thousand and eight, the city every five
years has updated their Green Plan Green Cincinnati Plan. It

(01:36:15):
started in two thousand and eight with mister Mallory. He
called the plan a climate protection plan. I don't know
if he was protecting us from the climate or protecting
the climate. And then every five years they have updated
their Cincinnati Green Plan. In every five years it gets

(01:36:35):
more and more extensive and really radical, I mean really extreme.
The twenty twenty three Green Cincinnati Plan is probably the
most comprehensive climate change bible that you would ever want
to see. It covers the whole gamut of civilization basically

(01:36:57):
in Cincinnati, our food, our energy, our look at some others, mobility,
natural environment, resilience and climate adaptation. They have these eight
focus areas, and each focus area has one to three goals,

(01:37:17):
and then each goal has all these activities that they
want to accomplish and furtherance of that goal. And you
look at these things and well, first of all, you
don't know whether it's really happening or not. And you
don't you don't know exactly what they're doing. You don't
know how much all this is costing. And they just

(01:37:38):
go about their business like this is the main thing,
and it's not the main thing. And I, based on
what I've been doing, if the city has to cut
back on spending, this would be the area to cut back.
If they stopped all these activities tomorrow, nobody would notice.

(01:37:58):
Nobody would notice. Oh well, not going out trying to
promote people to get on plant based diets anymore, Nobody's
going to notice that.

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
I didn't even realize they were out promoting people to
get on plant based diets anyway.

Speaker 8 (01:38:11):
Yeah, that was that was a goal in the twenty
eighteen plan.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
Hugh.

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
Then they I guess they embraced the idea of pairing
back snap benefits to take out sugary beverages and and
and fatty foods and doritos.

Speaker 8 (01:38:24):
So that's a good question, Brian. I don't know if
they would go for that or not.

Speaker 3 (01:38:28):
No, they wouldn't go for that because that would deprive
people of choice, the choice that they're arguing they shouldn't
have because they want eat eat plants. Yes, so none
of this makes sense. It doesn't really make Well, let's
let's look at it from a broader element. We have
like two hundred and eighty thousand people or three thousands roughly, yes,
in a defined space that's the city of Cincinnati, the

(01:38:49):
geographical limitations. That's as far as their power extends. What
do they really truly think can be accomplished by imposing
all of these edicts and mandates on a finite leaf,
very infinitely so compararently small space within the state of Ohio,
when everybody around us isn't doing this. More fundamentally, outside
of the country, like China and India and Turkey and

(01:39:10):
other large producers of pollutants, they're not doing it anyway.
We're all breeding the same damn air. What possible benefit
can any of this have on impacting the climate So
that somebody could make that argument, I think it makes
them certifiably insane.

Speaker 8 (01:39:23):
Yeah, well, I think that the EPA is going to
do something about this CO two and endangerment.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
Of it's plant food for God's sake.

Speaker 8 (01:39:34):
Right, So the city, I think that they are following
the Democrat orthodoxy. But one of the things they do
with the Green Cincinnati Plan is their tentacles go out
even further. They've got about seventy different community.

Speaker 18 (01:39:58):
Organizations and nonprofits that are on board, hand in the
cookie jars, and they're giving money to these groups, yeah,
to do all these things, and they build this constituency,
but it's that constituency really isn't in the neighborhoods as
far as I can tell, maybe a couple of neighborhoods.

Speaker 8 (01:40:13):
But I really don't think the people in West Price
Hill or East Price Hill are really thinking that the
city is putting a dent into the greenhouse gases. They
claim they are some kind of dent. Oh, we've reduced
greenhouse gases in the city of Cincinnati by x percent
or something like that. But the greenhouse gases only affect

(01:40:34):
the atmosphere at a very high level. So yeah, it
really doesn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
And I suspect the folks in the in Price Hill
or Avondel or pick A neighborhood are probably a little
bit more worried about the property tax bill and putting
food on the table and inflation and stuff that really matters.
And this all is taking money away from resources that
might go to well, I don't know, phil pothole or

(01:41:00):
improve the neighborhood. From a broken windows theory connect standpoint, you.

Speaker 8 (01:41:06):
Know, right, well, if they put as much energy into
planning fixing the roads as they have in this Green
Cincinnati plan, we would see a lot more progress on
our infrastructure. But I've been trying to figure out how
much money this is all costing. It's not easy to
track through the city, but so far it looks like

(01:41:30):
in two thousand and four they received forty five million
dollars in federal grants and then the city spent their
own money to about nine million dollars for Green Cincinnati activities,
And so a lot of that money is just going

(01:41:51):
to go away. And they have people on staff. The
city has people on staff, especially in their Office of
Environment and Sustainability, I think is what they call it.
I mean, they basically have this attitude we eat what
we kill so they file all these grant applications with

(01:42:11):
the federal government. Yeah, the head of the office was
quoted in the newspapers saying that, oh, he's They've put
applications in for between sixty and eighty million dollars. And
so you have people writing these grants. When you get
their grants, you have to manage the grant and it

(01:42:32):
consumes so much energy and part of the city staff
that I don't know how they're making progress in some
of these other areas.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
I don't think the point is to make progress, Todd.
I think the point is to fund non governmental organizations
and put money in those folks pockets who probably do
live out in the suburbs and really nice multi hundred
thousand dollars homes and enjoy the fruits and benefits of
the American taxpayers labor while not accomplishing a single thing.
I don't think they're out there actually do anything. I

(01:43:01):
think they're just out to, you know, put money in
their own pocket.

Speaker 8 (01:43:04):
Well, it's a very the city of Cincinnati is very
high risk when it comes to these nonprofits. So far,
they've got leverage support that they give out to the community.
That's about fifty groups or so, then they had then
they started this act for Sensei, which is their violence

(01:43:26):
prevention program. That's got another seventy sixty seventy groups, and
then the Green Cincinnati Plan has over one hundred groups.
Lord that they are trying to organize or that they all.

Speaker 3 (01:43:44):
Of whom have salaries and need to be funded before
any actual work can be done or something can be
actually accomplished out in the world to achieve whatever goal
it is they were formed to achieve.

Speaker 8 (01:43:56):
Yeah, well this is this is this is a very risky,
risky position to have all this city money going out
to all these different groups and nobody's really overseen it.
There was a case in Cleveland, for example, where one
of the council members was perpetrating some fraud schemes through
these nonprofits in Cleveland the same way. I'm certain in

(01:44:19):
one case he got one of the nonprofits to put
his girlfriend on the payroll for five thousand a month.
And then the other case he got is he got
a i think a development corporation, a local development corporation
to sell property to his girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
That's pausive. We need an inspector general, is what we
need to have.

Speaker 8 (01:44:41):
Oh, we definitely need one bran, Yes we do.

Speaker 3 (01:44:42):
We'll bring our inspector general back here after these brief
words beginning with cover. Since he make the call to cover. Sincey,
I know your medical insurance is expensive. I know you
got all tons of out of pocket liability. I know
they did not claims all the time. I know what
your copays are. It's a lot. It's a hell of
a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (01:44:58):
And Cover.

Speaker 3 (01:44:58):
Since he is a broker that works with hundreds of
insurance companies, access to thousands of policies, they work for you.
One size does not fit all.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):

(01:48:05):
satbound two seventy five break lights between the Lawrence Burn
Rampamchale Cropper Chuck Ingram on fifty five K see the
talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:48:14):
Seven fifty five KR. See the talk station. Brian Thomas
was citizen watchdog. Todd Zenzer former Inspector General. And we
have a couple of minutes here since I supposed the
conversation on fiscal responsibility also dovetails into the attacks on
Elon Musk. Let's pause on that oneas I'm gonna give
a little bit more attention. You got to, I know

(01:48:36):
you had something to say about Greg Landsman getting in
trouble with his failure to report his stockish or stocks.

Speaker 1 (01:48:41):
Well.

Speaker 8 (01:48:42):
Yeah, back during the campaign, it came out that he
failed to make disclosures for basically his whole first.

Speaker 3 (01:48:47):
Term, as is required under law. Exactly, it's been a
law for a long time, yes.

Speaker 8 (01:48:53):
And so he came out and said, well, I'm I'm
supporting legislation that would prohibit members of Congress from UH
trading in stocks. Well, that went by the wayside. Now
the new proposal is to force members to put all
their stock into a blind trust or something like that,
and he supports that. But in the meantime, he had

(01:49:16):
to dump hundreds of thousands of dollars in stocks in
order to walk the walk the talk.

Speaker 2 (01:49:25):
Oh that's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:49:27):
Well, they did call him out on it, started to disclose,
so and and through these revelations, we also found out
that he was invested in defense contractors.

Speaker 1 (01:49:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:49:37):
He's very hypocritical in terms of in tobacco companies too, right, Yeah,
what he talks about out on the campaign and where
he puts his money.

Speaker 2 (01:49:46):
So he's not a green investor.

Speaker 8 (01:49:52):
No, he's going for the money.

Speaker 3 (01:49:53):
He's going for the money, right, And you know, I
suppose a prudent investor, in spite of the fact whether
they like war, appreciate war, I want to get out
of wars, knows that the wars are perpetual. We manufacture
a lot of munitions and sell them off to other countries.
So raytheon, let's put some money raytheon.

Speaker 8 (01:50:11):
Well, what's funny is that he must know that many
members of Congress go into Congress with little money and
come out of Congress with a lot of money. And
that's all being done through the stock market, yep. And
so he's got to know that. So maybe that's why

(01:50:31):
he has been reluctant to dump those stocks last See.

Speaker 3 (01:50:35):
Yeah, he knows what Congress is going to vote on,
what's coming up with the proposed legislation, is what's likely
to pass, and knows where how which companies are going
to benefit as a consequence of it. It's degreased palm
index that Nathan Backrack and d Think and invented before
they retired. Whoever had the most lobbying money going into Congress,
they pick those companies. They put him in one fund.

(01:50:56):
I don't know how it ended up working out in
terms of return on investment, but something to me, it probably.

Speaker 2 (01:51:00):
Worked out pretty well.

Speaker 3 (01:51:01):
I would think it did more with Todd Zenzer after
these brief wourds seven thirty five, I coming up on
seven thirty six fifty You I have KCV talk station.
You want the dynamic duo of dentistry working on your teeth,
you need doctors Pack and Freu outstanding at what they do.
My general dentistsmen doctor Peck for years that he's just
got the best crew of working, their family friendly environment,
really just wonderful dentistry. And he, of course is one

(01:51:24):
of the premier cosmetic dentists in the entire country, one
of the only three accredited fellows of the American Academy
at Cosmetic Dentistry. Doctor frew on her behalf, probably one
of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
She is as sweet as she can be.

Speaker 3 (01:51:36):
So if you're one of those folks that doesn't like
going to the dentists, you'll love doctor Freu being your dentist.
And she's on her way to accreditation with the American
Academy and Cosmetic Dentistry. So you got years of experience
from Pack, fresh perspectives from doctor Freu, all in the
best dental environment you can have always the most date

Speaker 3 (01:53:18):
Fifty five KRCD talk station Brian Thomas with Citizen Watchdog
former Inspector General Todd Zenzer. And the kind of topics
that we talk about, Todd are just mind blowing. I mean,
it angers me and I just stare and disbelieve that
our elected officials actually go down these various roads that
they have gone down, that they disregard the citizens will
in the case of Hyde Park. They're pursuing these green

(01:53:39):
agendas with all these hundreds of non governmental organizations without
accomplishing a single thing. Hopefully this federal dollars will dry up,
but I think, as you said off air, they'll probably
just go ahead and redirect like road fit, road repair
money and critical infrastructure money to continue the pursuit of
a green agenda to the I mean to the detriment
of everybody, every neighborhood in the city.

Speaker 8 (01:54:01):
Yeah, it's it's going to be a choice for them
down the road when all this federal money dries up
and they have to make a decision on what they're
going to cut. I don't have a lot of confidence
that they're going to look at the green Cincinnati planet
say oh, yeah, we don't need that. They're going to
make They're going to continue to make that a priority.

Speaker 3 (01:54:19):
Well, and I can't imagine that being a magnet for
business and industry. If you want to draw people into
the city, you want to allow them to have choices
about where they live and what they live in, and
ability to drive in and out of it so they
can escape it if they need to anyhow, And that's
what employees of big incorporations would want to big corporations
want to g ge. Right, Yeah, did they move out?

(01:54:39):
They That's right, they did. How's that working that for them?

Speaker 2 (01:54:45):
Anyhow?

Speaker 3 (01:54:46):
Justice Department just released an additional what they called greatest
hits the other DA Attorney General Pambondi. This is the
Doge related conversation. City's fiscal responsibility coupled with the outrage
that I know you felt when you saw one of
our elected officials, account woman, talking about burning teslas and
attacking Elon Musk um Let us see here they cut

(01:55:07):
two million dollars used for quote, national listening sessions of
individuals with lived experience close quote asked Joe Streger this
morning if he's had lived experience, and he has, and
of course I've had fifty nine years of lived experience.
I don't know what the hell that means. But we
just cut two million dollars. It was going to that
six hundred and ninety five dollars six hundred ninety five

(01:55:28):
thousand dollars for a quote. Excuse me, this is great,
and you're one of the most intelligent people I know.

Speaker 2 (01:55:35):
Tell me what this is?

Speaker 3 (01:55:37):
A parallel, convergent, mixed methods case study, research designed to
assess the efficacy of police departments, LGBTQ liaison services.

Speaker 2 (01:55:50):
Who how about that?

Speaker 3 (01:55:51):
That's a mouthful six hundred ninety five grand of the
taxpayer money. Anyway, the list keeps getting longer and longer,
and yet they're out there calling Elon Musk Nazi and
destroying teslas and Tesla dealerships and Tesla charging stations. Once
the Darling of the Green Agenda now is become an
evil person because he's pointing this stuff out.

Speaker 2 (01:56:12):
That's right.

Speaker 8 (01:56:14):
Yeah, when a council member, Anna Albi, when they passed
a resolution a couple of weeks ago to support the
federal employees and then if you look at the resolution,
it basically just slams the administration about cutting this and
cutting that, and she was triggered big time when it

(01:56:35):
came to this. They all get a chance to talk
about the resolution. So when it came to miss Albi,
she said, well, we're all talking very calmly about this.
We should be angry. And she just went off and
she started accusing Elon Musk of going around and harming
people and harming our community and our residents from top

(01:56:56):
to bottom, and just she like somebody that might just
go out in kia tesla. That's the way she seemed
to me.

Speaker 3 (01:57:07):
And a guy again, you know, it's like five minutes
ago in your life experience lived experience time was the
Darling of the Green Agenda was the greatest guy on
the planet because he invented the best electric vehicle out there,
no more emissions. We're all going to save the world.
And he becomes evil because he shows that there are
hundreds of thousands of Social Security numbers out there in

(01:57:28):
the world for people that are over one hundred and twenty.
That he reveals all of these insane programs that are
on their face absolutely indefensible that he's running. He's endeavoring
to run the federal government more efficiently like a real company,
as opposed to squandering our labor in the form of

(01:57:49):
taxpayer dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:57:50):
That's all bad.

Speaker 3 (01:57:51):
All because some federal employee in a useless department loses
their job, they don't cry a single tier when some
other business fires employees, ease or goes to reorganization. I mean,
I used to work for Anthem. I went through three reorgs.
They lost people, they changed the departments, they shifted things down,
they got rid of middle management. There wasn't an article
in the paper even written about it. Not a tears shed.

(01:58:12):
Federal employees aren't really doing anything and not even showing
up at work. They're out in the street protesting over
it and turning Elon Musk into somehow the head of
the National Socialist Party.

Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
Well Nazi.

Speaker 1 (01:58:25):
Yeah, Well, the.

Speaker 8 (01:58:27):
Federal government has already has personnel rules in place to
do everything that's being done. It's not like they've come
in and invented things. In fact, they're being very generous
with this, the buyout and the way the buyout. Sure,
and it's it has to be done. And for a
member of city council to think that we that that

(01:58:50):
we don't spend enough money and that we shouldn't be
cutting it is just irresponsible.

Speaker 3 (01:58:57):
Listen, two trillion in additional expenditures from the federal government
annually beyond what they spend and take in in taxes.
We've dug ourselves into a monumental hole, almost thirty seven
trillion dollars. The debt service is already a trillion dollars.
And someone's advocating to continue down that path. That person

(01:59:18):
is either financially as ignorant as a post or is
desirous of the end of the United States of America
as we know it because it's going to crash our
Fiat currency.

Speaker 2 (01:59:28):
Yeah, she came off as a nefarious or stupid in
either case stupid.

Speaker 8 (01:59:33):
It's very emotional, no question about that.

Speaker 3 (02:01:32):
Certainly an eye opening hour here in the fifty five
Carricite mornings. She would always DoD with is when Todd
Zensers in the studio former Inspector General Citizen Watchdog is
his podcast Check it out. He's one of the few
sources of information that we get like this, and I
am just I feel blessed to be in a position
to let folks know about it. I think people so

(02:01:53):
few people really realize how our city is being governed
and what their objectives are, and they seem to have
nothing to do with the day to day lives of
the people that live in the city of Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (02:02:05):
Todd.

Speaker 8 (02:02:06):
Yeah, looking at this green Cincinnati planet's almost as if
there's two different efforts in the city. One is kind
of the police and fire, sewers water, and then there's
this other group that's doing all these things about the climate,
and it's kind of behind the scenes for the most part. Yeah,
and it's very well funded, very well staffed, and it's

(02:02:31):
energy and effort on the part of the city staff
that could be redeployed to help with these core services. Exactly, Brian.

Speaker 3 (02:02:40):
I mean, our infrastructure is falling apart, and they're always
complaining about insufficient dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:02:44):
L's what is that? What are the motivations for selling
the railroad? Absolutely, and then we find out there's.

Speaker 3 (02:02:49):
Tens of millions of dollars being thrown out there to
hundreds of organizations for the purpose of achieving some inachievable
or unachievable climate goal.

Speaker 1 (02:02:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:02:59):
I mean, and the.

Speaker 8 (02:03:03):
Workforce keeps getting bigger.

Speaker 3 (02:03:06):
Along those lines. Along those well, they're not hiring more
people to fix the roads or keep things sewn together.

Speaker 8 (02:03:13):
The hiring is going on in the city manager's office
and in the administrative staff in city Hall.

Speaker 3 (02:03:22):
If we can get people to apply for the job,
I mean, think of all the additional police officers we
can have. We can have a full contingent of police officers.

Speaker 4 (02:03:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:03:29):
That is a mystery to me why they're not fully staffed.
They seem to have this you know, one hundred or
one hundred and so deficit in terms of vacancies, and
it's just does I don't really understand.

Speaker 2 (02:03:42):
It, or pay them more? I mean, you know, I
mean the police officers.

Speaker 3 (02:03:48):
I mean, if you want to get more people of
quality and caliber that meet whatever expectations you have from
a police officer, if you just put that nonsensical expenditure
of money that's going into I don't know, whatever green project,
and you just offer them they get it for five,
five thousand or ten thousand dollars extra year. You might
get more people signed up.

Speaker 1 (02:04:09):
For the job.

Speaker 8 (02:04:09):
Yeah, Well, they're not doing things to attract candidates to
the police force. In fact, they have this they have
this defund the police effort going on with three one
one where they've hired what they call community responders. Yeah,
and they're sending those folks out to some of these
scenes instead of the police.

Speaker 2 (02:04:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:04:30):
Not armed, not prepared, not trained. Law enforcement officers are
more like defusers or counselors or something.

Speaker 8 (02:04:37):
Yeah, they're supposed to be mental health counselors and things
like that.

Speaker 3 (02:04:40):
Yeah, talk to some cop when things go sideways? Are
you gonna want a real cop there? You're gonna want
someone who's gonna talk about your feelings.

Speaker 1 (02:04:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:04:47):
It seems to me if they want to do that,
it should be under the police department, and that would
be a position that they could use to develop and
recruit more police officers. Have them start out as these
community responders and recruit them for the police force.

Speaker 2 (02:05:00):
That's an excellent idea. Gee imagine that, Oh, Todd, I'm
not quite sure where to go. You are supporting Corey
Bowman though I want.

Speaker 8 (02:05:07):
To absolutely Corey is very down to earth. I think
he has very very good intentions, and I think he
wants to be a good mayor.

Speaker 3 (02:05:18):
Well, you know, I've met him so many times, and
he is a good man. Yes, you know, he's a
sincere human being. I think he would be open to
some of the concepts that you talked about today. He
does absolutely want to better the city in terms of
taking care of infrastructure and making things well easier to develop.
I mean, he experienced his own problems in his own

(02:05:40):
neighborhood with developers who wanted to come in and do
some good for the neighborhood, only to be stopped by
the City of Cincinnati.

Speaker 8 (02:05:46):
Yeah, well, he's not going to be like our mayor
that it always seems that the mayor is auditioning for something,
or that he's trying to get his ticket punched by
the National Party or by somebody in Washington. That there
is an agenda out there, we just don't know exactly
what it all includes.

Speaker 3 (02:06:03):
Well, and fortunately we have you, Toudzenzer, to talk about
what the agenda is behind the scenes, that they are
in fact pushing real time right now, and where the
valuable and finite taxpayer dollars are actually being sent. Well,
one can only keep our fingers crossed that that evil
man Elon Musk will finally shut down massive quantities of

(02:06:23):
cash for these stupid green programs and those people will
have to go out and find real jobs. Todds Inzer
get in touch with his podcast Citizen Watchdog. You know
you're always welcome on the Morning Show. We could do
this like every single day. From my standpoint, we never
would accomplish getting through all the issues. But I cannot
thank you on behalf of all of my listeners for
the work that you do. That you pay attention to

(02:06:44):
all this, You keep tabs on it, you write about it,
you do a podcast on it, and you're willing to
come on here in the Morning Show from time to
time to well event your spleen get it all of
your system and make people more aware of the what
I will call shenanigans.

Speaker 8 (02:06:56):
So I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (02:06:57):
Prian, my pleasure.

Speaker 20 (02:06:58):
Man.

Speaker 3 (02:06:58):
It has really been a treat having you on the show.
Seven fifty five fifty five KRC the Talk Station. The
return of Mandy Gonna Sakara, she is the conservative pundit.
In honor of Offen or other of y'all fired, we
are going to sort of continue along the same lines
the media and the left's obsession with austeing Pete Hegsat
and their defense of the MS thirteen wife beater. That's

(02:07:21):
after the top of the our news, followed by iHeart
media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe at a thirty I'll be
right back.

Speaker 2 (02:07:26):
News happens fast, stay up to date at the top
of the hour.

Speaker 12 (02:07:30):
Not gonna be complicated, It's going to go very fast.

Fifty five KRC the talk station. This report calls wake up.

Speaker 11 (02:07:37):
Trump is not playing games Klay Travis and Buck Sexton
today at noon on fifty five KRCO.

Speaker 3 (02:07:47):
Six fifty five KRC, he talk station. I should just
get blown away by Todd Senser. Just a great guy,
stud brilliant. It's just the he gets so damn frustrated
when he tells you about the truth of what's going
on in the real world. And it's so troubling when
you talk to him that more people aren't aware of

(02:08:09):
what he's talking about. And how ill served the city
of Cincinnati is by the folks who are running it.
I mean, there are neighborhoods out there that are screaming
for attention. They're screaming to have their roads repaved. They're
screaming to have some resources and put in their direction.
And we find out these tens of millions of dollars

(02:08:29):
are being thrown out into the world for things that
have no impact on fixing these communities. They have no
impact on the voters in the city of Cincinnati. I mean,
on the heels of yesterday's foregone conclusion that Hyde Park
can't control its own destiny, we get an hour ful
of Todd Zenzer's revelations about the antics behind the scenes

(02:08:52):
in the city of Cincinnati. He said it was revealed
to him that mayor have to have purvall. I mean
she said this off Aaron, I don't think you have
a problem. He's saying it out loud. He's probably set
up a four million times anything. Anytime anything lands on
AFTAB Provol's desk, he looks at it through the eyes
of two things, equity and the environment.

Speaker 2 (02:09:16):
That's it. Hey, Joe, if you've seen a report, has
Sunset been paved yet? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:09:25):
I know not, hasn't, hasn't. Well, we were supposed to
have many. Mandy Goodness a car on the program, author
of y'all fired, and she was going to talk about
Pete Hegzeth and the lefts out obsession with trying to
get rid of him, and their obsession with the MS
thirteen gang member who apparently had been previously pulled over

(02:09:46):
by a highway patrol officer while driving a car belonging
to a confessed human smuggler, also a wife beater and
MS searching gang member. I mentioned that one didn't I anyhow,
the phone lines are open five one, three, seven eight
two three talk found five fifty on eight and defends
go in any direction we can. I have a couple

(02:10:06):
of things to dive back into or dive into at
the outset, but I got Jeff on the phone. Jeff,
thanks for calling this morning in a very happy Friday
EVE to you, my friend.

Speaker 7 (02:10:17):
Happy Friday Eve to you and Joe and you guys
are true patriots, buddy.

Speaker 2 (02:10:21):
Thanks brother. I thoroughly thoroughly appreciate hearing that.

Speaker 1 (02:10:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:10:26):
Well, I guess just using my logic and common sense
argument to any of my friends on the left or
Democrats that are starting to wake up, I would.

Speaker 9 (02:10:38):
Say that if someone is.

Speaker 7 (02:10:43):
Threatening your slush fund or threatening your way of life,
even if some of it is not exactly legal, then
you are going to be then that person.

Speaker 1 (02:10:56):
Is going to be the loudest voice. Yes, And.

Speaker 7 (02:11:01):
Apparently Pete is in their line of sights, because he might,
you know, shake up the situation, especially if you find
out that a lot of money that should be going
to defense contractors or the military, or even possibly things

(02:11:22):
that are happening elsewhere in this world, and he shuts
that down, it could seriously harm their machine. And I
just think that anytime you see the Left attack one
of those people, it's because they're coming too close to
the to the cookie jar.

Speaker 3 (02:11:42):
Yes, I agree with you completely, and I think that
the reason they're so angry with Elon Musk. You know, conceptually,
it could be literally any human being in that position
and he or she would be labeled a Nazi. But
he has the intelligence, the wherewithal and the brilliant staff
that he's surrounded himself to harness this this technology, that

(02:12:04):
he has, this artificial intelligence to get through all of
these records and get through all of these contracts at
a very rapid pace. Something that government is not really
widely known for is getting things done efficiently and quickly.
I mean, he's run major, multi billion billion corporations not
by expanding them and making them too big, but by
making him run leanly and efficiently. So that's where as

(02:12:25):
expertise lies. Look at his history of success, that's why
he's the wealthiest man in a planet.

Speaker 2 (02:12:30):
So but you're right, he knows, he knows.

Speaker 7 (02:12:34):
How to squeeze every dollar out of every single thing
he does.

Speaker 3 (02:12:39):
Yes, so how is it? And and here here's my
observation along those lines. You're right, I think a lot
of this anger and outrage and these protests that seem
to draw a lot of people are organized by the
very folks whose jobs and livelihood are at risk because
they're doing absolutely nothing but consuming taxpayer dollars and provide

(02:13:00):
fid us nothing in return. Every one of these NGOs has,
you know, people making hundreds of thousands of dollars, oh
CEO of this blah blah blah green group, And yeah,
well we pay your salary, and then you know, you
hire a whole bunch of other people who then have
a salary, and then what money's left over? Did you
actually accomplish anything? And I don't think it's for the
purpose of accomplishing something. It's just for the purpose of

(02:13:20):
keeping a lot of these crazy people employed, maybe employing
people with college degrees that have absolutely no value. Whatever
nefarious motive behind it is, those are the angry leftists,
and they have a well organized machine to get people
to show up, either by paying them or just because
they're useful idiots for the cause. Those folks that get

(02:13:41):
interviewed all the time, that show up at these you know,
Elon Musk protests, these anti you know, Trump protests, When
you ask them why they're there and you articulate to them,
you know, well, can you please explain to me what
has outraged you so much? They have nothing to say.
They don't know why they're there, honestly, but they do.
They're just they either that or they're just again useful idiots.

(02:14:03):
Oh I hate Trump. I'll show up because I got
the text message. Or I'm part of the group that
said we're gonna organize it's such and such a place
at such and such a time and screaming outrage and
rage against the machine that is the Trump administration.

Speaker 2 (02:14:17):
Okay, I'll be there. They don't know why, they just
know they hate evil Orange Man. But they aren't.

Speaker 3 (02:14:23):
I'm convinced, Jeff that the vast majority of people out
there in regardless of what they identify as Republican or Democrat.
Are not the fringe chunk that are showing up at
these meetings. Most of I would say, my conservative friends
and folks like you don't show up even at conservative
rallies because you got better things to do. You got

(02:14:44):
to like, you got a family, You want to enjoy
some time off this. I work my butt off. I'm
not gonna go out to a rally on a Saturday afternoon.
I'd rather spend some time with my kids. I'm gonna
go to the baseball game, whatever happens to be. But
we're the majority of people. That's that silent majority. The
squeaky wheel always ends up getting the grease. And these
politicians see these are these throngs and masses of people

(02:15:05):
showing up to rally against Trump administration. Then you get
a guy like Mayor I have to have pervol who
has revealed his far left, AOC level leftism, out there
screaming and raging against Elon Musk blocking the street in
violation of the city's laws, which required a permit, which
they didn't get. But they're not the majority. They surround

(02:15:26):
themselves in an echo chamber of leftist babble. They aren't
willing to listen to anybody like me or you, or
someone with a measure of common sense who's even politically neutral. Nope,
they'll have it there one way because that's what they're
used to hearing, and that's what they think is going
to resonate for the people. But look at the polls, Jeff,
Poll after poll after poll, where are the where's the
population in terms of let's say immigration. They're on the

(02:15:48):
side of Donald Trump, Democrats included, and a majority of them.

Speaker 7 (02:15:52):
You know, Uh, Commons is coming back. And one of
the things I wanted to mention to you was those
makes me think that even though we've all been lulled
into a sense of well, government can never do anything
because you know, they always go over budget and they
just do things wrong. Well, maybe they're happy with that

(02:16:16):
explanation because they now know we will not look for
the money. And dose is that could be it?

Speaker 1 (02:16:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:16:25):
Well, you know, government doesn't have to earn anything. They
are takers and they don't have to show that they
have actually accomplished something, and they don't have to provide any.

Speaker 2 (02:16:38):
Accountability for what they do.

Speaker 4 (02:16:40):
I mean, you know, me.

Speaker 2 (02:16:42):
I love the American veteran.

Speaker 3 (02:16:43):
I appreciate the American military, and I'm glad we've got
one because you know, the times, they're always kind of dicing,
someone's always out there trying to do as harm. But
do you think for a moment that in a nine
hundred billion dollars annual defense expenditure there's not fraud, wasting
abuse in that.

Speaker 2 (02:16:58):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:16:58):
Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure we could.

Speaker 3 (02:17:00):
I be we could cut that budget by one hundred
and fifty billion dollars and not sacrifice an iota of
our defense readiness and capabilities. That's the kind of stuff
that we should be looking for. But they don't have
to be efficient, that is, that doesn't have to be
any accountability. And plus they've got senators of both political
stripes and Republicans and representative of both political stripes, for example,

(02:17:21):
like Raytheon or whatever defense contractor is in any given state,
fighting for their interests and the piece of equipment that
they're trying to hawk because well, it's jobs and it's
our state, So we're going to keep that and we're
not going to look to see whether we really need
it or not.

Speaker 7 (02:17:35):
Right and common sense says that places like that shouldn't
be scared. They can always retool and use their massive
amount of employment and stuff for something better. I mean,
it doesn't always have to be bullets and rockets. It
could be who knows, it could be a subsidity of
SpaceX for the next twenty or thirty years.

Speaker 1 (02:17:58):
I wouldn't mind.

Speaker 7 (02:17:59):
I mean, as long as the peo for making money,
that's fine. But they're I think they're lolled into the
fact that, oh no, if we don't make weapons, we'll
we'll go out of business. Will you just retool for
something else?

Speaker 3 (02:18:10):
Of course you do, of course you do. I appreciate
the call as always, Jeff, you hang in there. Man
five one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred eight
hundred two three talk Joe, you hang on for a moment.
I'll be happy to take your call after these brief words.
Beginning with Zimmer heating and air conditioning. Yes, it's air
conditioning time. But to tell you what, if your system
went out, you got an HVAC. Systems cover both of them.

(02:18:30):
I know they're expensive, but it's a great time to
get in touch with the good people at Zimmer. They
are specialists of what they do, been out it for
more than seventy five years, keeping your homes safe, efficient
and comfortable.

Speaker 2 (02:18:40):
Comfortable.

Speaker 3 (02:18:40):
The emphasis here because right now, if your system goes out,
you can save up to fifteen hundred and fifty dollars
on a new Carrier Comfort system. For my friends at
Zimmer Heating and Cooling, they are excellent a customer service
and if you don't have to replace your whole system,
they certainly can service whatever unit you've got, So call them.
You'll be happy you did. The price will be right.
The customer service again is outstanding. That's why they've been

(02:19:01):
in business for more than seventy five years. Chris Simmer's
proud of the operation he's got going right now as
well he should be. But you got to replace it.
Why not save some serious money fifteen hundred and fifty
dollars on that Carrier Comfort system. You can make an
appointment two ways call him up five one three, five

Speaker 21 (02:19:22):
Fifty five KRC. Hello, I'm Joe Cordell eight twenty one
looking forward to Jay rattl if I heard a media
aviation expert. Always look forward to talking to Jay, usually
lighten things up. When Jay's on the phone at eight thirty.
We'll get to him in a moment. First one turned
to the phones because Joe's been kind enough to hold
over the breake there. Joe, Welcome to the show. Thanks
for holding.

Speaker 2 (02:19:44):
Good morning, Brian.

Speaker 20 (02:19:46):
I was just, you know, just wondering if there's something
that precedes the Massachusetts.

Speaker 2 (02:19:53):
You know debate.

Speaker 20 (02:19:54):
And I know there's not a ruling yet, but you know,
instead of and Johnny has two puppies, I wonder if
they put like a Bible in substitution, would would that
be okay that you made them read it five times
a day?

Speaker 2 (02:20:11):
Now you're talking about Maryland.

Speaker 3 (02:20:12):
But the answer is no, you couldn't get away with
that because that will be considered teaching, teaching religion in schools.
And I am with you one hundred percent that that's
exactly what they're doing when they're talking about Heather has
Two Mommies, or this book with transgender focus for kindergarteners,
that that's what they're doing when they are told by
the administration and the curriculum requires you to read it

(02:20:34):
five times during the year, and you need to deflect
children's opposition to it to influence them into believing that
this is what they should believe in spite of what
a parent or their home environment teaches. Like, for example,
from a religious perspective, that's doing exactly that. Just because
there isn't a divine being associated with it. This is

(02:20:56):
a you know, this is still religion.

Speaker 20 (02:20:59):
I mean with with you know, when my kids were
old enough, you know, you could put a crayon on
a piece of paper and you could sign your name apparently,
you know, you could get a library book. And of
course I was responsible for it when but but it
was a cool thing to do. Yeah, And I stayed
home with my kids, so I raised my.

Speaker 22 (02:21:18):
My youngest and stuff, and I went through all this
and I just want you know, when I when I
think about what they grabbed off the shelf, Brian, it
was about dinosaurs and trains. Yeah, and you know, I
can't I can't imagine Thomas linking up with you know,
the wrong train.

Speaker 3 (02:21:36):
I know, that's a good way of putting it, Joe,
that's hilarious. My son loved Thomas a tank. Oh wow,
he's thirty'd be thirty two and June I just that
brought back fond memories. But you're right, yeah, And the
argument in further Supreme Court is exactly that point. Whether
or not the book is in the library at the

(02:21:57):
school is not the issue here. This isn't about the
availability of this material. It's about it being part of
the curriculum being taught in class, the requirement that the
teachers had to use these specific what some deem offensive books.
And they weren't saying remove them from the curriculum. These
parents weren't arguing to take the books out of the library.

(02:22:19):
All they were arguing about is give me a chance
to pull my kid out of class that day.

Speaker 2 (02:22:25):
That's it.

Speaker 20 (02:22:25):
Well, they could do the same with the Bible, you know,
you could put your kid out.

Speaker 2 (02:22:29):
Of I suppose.

Speaker 3 (02:22:32):
But the idea that we aren't we don't live in
a theocracy is where the whole concept of you know,
this this separation of church and state, that there isn't
a you know, a religion that is imposed upon the masses.
And that came directly from the fact that they had
that the Church of England, which was doing exactly that,
you could not worship anything else. The Church of England

(02:22:53):
teachings was what was taught, so that our founding fathers
knew that they had to pay taxes for the church
down the street, even they didn't even belong to it.
So I get, I get the ideas in terms of
public education. It is not a religious institution, but I
bet you could probably that's their.

Speaker 20 (02:23:10):
Religion though, isn't it, Brian.

Speaker 11 (02:23:11):
I mean, when they talk.

Speaker 20 (02:23:13):
About their left ideals, that's what their religion is. It is.

Speaker 22 (02:23:16):
I don't know what else they believe in, because that's
all they're pushing on us.

Speaker 3 (02:23:19):
Joe, just like it requires a leap of faith someone
People often talk about that, how is it you believe
in God? You've never seen him, He's never manifested himself
to you. How is it that it's a leap of faith?
And there are many theologians who could argue about that
and why you should believe.

Speaker 2 (02:23:33):
In all that? That's fine.

Speaker 3 (02:23:35):
This this is the same kind of concept when you're
talking about a boy believing he is a girl, and
truly believing that he is a girl when he's in
fact got a twigging berries and an ex and y chromosome.
I mean, that's beyond a leap of faith. It's defying logic,
reason and scientific reality, but embracing something that you know

(02:23:55):
we're supposed to say, Okay, you're right when you're really not.
I believe you believe you're the opposite sex, but I'm
not going to give into the idea that you really
are that would require me to divide logic reason in
scientific reality. That's when you fall into the realm of religion.
From my standpoint, that you buy into that they have

(02:24:17):
transformed magically into a double X without twigging berries, if
you know what I mean. So appreciate the concept and
the conversation. Joe always welcome these conversations. Hang in there, brother,
Thanks for calling A twenty six and thank god Jay
Ratliff will beyond next. After I mentioned Peter Shabria, Keller

neutral color. Here's a palead of acceptable colors that will

Hey, thirty one fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 3 (02:27:12):
I feel like I can exhale and put a smile
on my face because time of week we always get
to talk to I Hurt media aviation expert Jay rattleft Jay,
Welcome back to the morning show, my friend.

Speaker 2 (02:27:21):
I love having you on.

Speaker 1 (02:27:23):
Hey. Pleasant, Good morning to you. It's it's good to
be back.

Speaker 23 (02:27:26):
Last Thursday, I'm like wandering around lost. I'm glad you
were having a good time, but you know, I'm just yeah,
it wasn't the same. So I'm glad we're chatting again.

Speaker 3 (02:27:33):
I am too, And I'd be honest with you. I
was probably still sleeping.

Speaker 1 (02:27:39):
I didn't text you to ask how you were doing.

Speaker 3 (02:27:42):
No, that's funny because I always appreciate you and Dan
Carrol dor Kevin Gordon filling in for me, and I
never listened because when I'm taking my days off, when
I'm doing this staycation, I am sleeping as late as
I can because it's one of the things I enjoy
not having to get up at two thirty. But beyond
that and I always throw your curveball. I just is
an opportunity for you to double down on something you've
warned people about time and time again. Alaska Airlines East

(02:28:04):
one seventy five getting ready to leave Seattle Tacoma International
Airport heading on over to Redmond Municipal and apparently traveler
loading his gear up late pulled a tennis racket out
of his bag and made a joke saying, well, I
finally got the bomb in and take resulted and of

(02:28:29):
course a delayed flight.

Speaker 1 (02:28:31):
Well you know, in what.

Speaker 23 (02:28:32):
Happens is people say, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
it was just a joke. Well I'm sorry. Once the
words come out of your mouth. There is no other
protocol for anyone in the airline industry other than to
a kick you off. B make sure all your check
luggage is off, and they will probably many times they'll

(02:28:53):
even do an inspection of the aircraft to make sure
you didn't bring anything on board that you might have
been able to get through.

Speaker 1 (02:28:57):
Security is a pain in the butt for everybody involved.

Speaker 23 (02:29:01):
And well, you know, a lot of times people are
looking for a you know, make a joke, haha kind
of thing. And some people are just scared to death
to fly, and when they do, they just babble on
and sometimes they say some of the most ridiculous things
that you could ever hear come out of their mouth.
And all you do is inconvenience every single person. You'll
probably never again fly that airline, right and you're looking

(02:29:21):
at a fine from the.

Speaker 1 (02:29:22):
Federal Aviation Administration.

Speaker 23 (02:29:24):
I mean, you're gonna have years of problems because of
one stupid comment. But the airline cannot allow that flight
to be dispatched in the event. Somebody said that because
if the airplane were to take off, God forbid, and
have an accident and crash, there's three survivors. What's the
three survivors going to report. Well, the last thing I
remember was some guy saying at a bomb on an airplane.

(02:29:46):
Right now, they could probably disprove that from the NTSB investigation,
but the airlines are going to take that risk.

Speaker 1 (02:29:53):
It's simply not going to be allowed. And yeah, that
was the end result.

Speaker 2 (02:29:57):
Well, as the article reports, I do in abundance of caution.
This is a long ones. What you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (02:30:00):
The aircraft was deplane and a canine searched the aircraft
and cleared it for travel. Now, is that do airports
typically keep canines locally and they're ready to do something
like this?

Speaker 23 (02:30:11):
Yeah, most many airports will have the canine teams that
are there for explosive trace residue and other types of
things that might be associated with an instrument of terror.
A lot of times they're behind the scenes around the
baggage after we've turned it over.

Speaker 2 (02:30:28):
Yeah, check baggage. Yeah, Yeah, it's part.

Speaker 1 (02:30:31):
Of it's part of the process.

Speaker 23 (02:30:32):
You see them occasionally walking through the terminals, but most
of the times it's behind the scenes. It's one of
the many, many things we do from a security standpoint
that people don't see. And when you have somebody that
breaches security and gets past security, you've got to search.
When you have someone that has made a threat, even
though they say it's joking, you have to assume it's

(02:30:55):
real and go from there. You also have to be
concerned if they're flying with someone else. A lot of
times when they deplane, there will be a review by
law enforcement to see if this individual was knowingly flying
with someone, or if someone had an identical travel itinerary
or something where if they're going to the same city,
connecting to the same city, whatever, that individual is going

(02:31:17):
to have a conversation and they're going to see if
there's any connection between the person who said it was
a joke and another passenger. So there's so many things
that have to happen, and so many people are inconvenienced. Again,
and believe me, law enforcement is going to go through
it as though it's a real threat. And if they
find out, you know it's not, that individual is going
to be facing some serious consequences.

Speaker 1 (02:31:37):
Well, they have no choice. It's not like they can say, okay,
that's all right.

Speaker 23 (02:31:42):
It's a lot like if if somebody boards an airplane
and they're sitting there waiting for the crew to arrive.
The crew comes in and everybody applauds, we can go,
and somebody says, oh, they were in the bar drinking.
They've got us stop, go get the blood tests. We
had that happened at Northwest with some stupid lady comment
from the back of the airplane who said that, and

(02:32:04):
the captain says, we can't leave, and it's because again,
had that plane crashers three survivors. What are you going
to say, crew is drinking in the bar. It just
you know, Thankfully, with two and a half million people
a day that fly Brian, this doesn't happen very often.

Speaker 1 (02:32:20):
Indeed it does.

Speaker 23 (02:32:21):
It makes headlines because of how many people were inconvenienced
on that flight. And remember that plane's going somewhere else,
so there's a bunch of people waiting for that plane
to arrive so they can fly it to where they're going.

Speaker 3 (02:32:31):
The ripple effect is always something you mentioned too. Hey,
real quick, we're already had a time in this thing,
but I got to ask real quick. Thank god, there's
the bomb sniffing dogs down looking for bags that have
been stowed in the in the Uestowe. Have they trained
them to smell or sniff out lithium batteries because we've
talked about the danger of lithium batteries and stowed luggage before.
I'm just wondering if you have any knowledge on it.

Speaker 23 (02:32:52):
I don't believe we've got our friends, our officers, the
canine officers trained for quite that.

Speaker 1 (02:32:58):
I wish they could.

Speaker 23 (02:32:58):
We've got other ways us to look to make sure
that they don't make it on board a flight. But remember,
if somebody has a bag at the gate that goes
to the plane.

Speaker 1 (02:33:07):
That's the difference. Yes, yes, people forget about that.

Speaker 2 (02:33:11):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (02:33:11):
Get your liftium batteries out of any checked bag. O
pause will bring them back. Apparently not a good week
for Southwest Airlines. More with Jay rat left after I
mentioned my dear friends at Plump Type Plumbing. You deserve better,
locally owned serving the entire Try State. They treat every
call like a neighbor asking for help, and that's why
they are my go to plumbers. They've been over at
my house a bunch of times, even times when I

(02:33:34):
wish I really didn't need them. You know, the leaky
chandelier thing. You get no service fee, you get a
free estimate or a plus with a better business bureau.
Some pumps, no problem, low pressure in your pipes, no problem.
Leaky pipes absolutely, no problem. Clogged drains, of course they
do that. And they are the Tri State's number one
installer of tankless water heaters, which last a heck of

(02:33:56):
a lot longer than your traditional one and provide you
with unlimited hot water. It's the right way to go.

Speaker 3 (02:35:14):
Jarre alaff has E's Iheartmediavash Nextpert. We get him every
Thursday at eight thirty. So Jay apparently not good news
to the Southwest Airline.

Speaker 4 (02:35:23):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (02:35:24):
Yeah, it was a historic week in a bad way.

Speaker 23 (02:35:27):
Two days ago on Tuesday, they for the first time
ever laid off employees seventeen hundred and fifty. In all,
they have over seventy thousand employees, but it was the
first time in the history of Southwest that they've ever
had to lay off a single person. And in the
early days when they only only had four airplanes, they
couldn't meet payroll. Herb Kelleherd, the founder of Southwest, said well,

(02:35:50):
we're not laying anyone off, so we sold one of
his four airplanes to meet payroll. You have the attacks
of nine to eleven, when a lot of things were
happening and all airlines were were in essence kind of
laying some people off. Southwest did not even the pandemic.
When everybody was getting laid off, Southwest had nineteen percent
of their workforce step forward and say, look, we'll take

(02:36:11):
an early retirement so the people behind us can enjoy
the career we had. So it's always been an object
of pride, rightfully so for Southwest to say, look, we take.

Speaker 1 (02:36:21):
Care of our employees. They come first.

Speaker 23 (02:36:23):
But now because of a lot of asenine management decisions
have been taking place over the last I don't know,
ten fifteen years where Southwest has abandoned what they do
best because they want to be like everybody else. It's
caused now the need to constrict as an airline, throttle
back and unfortunately lay off some of their hard working employees,

(02:36:45):
which you just hate to see.

Speaker 2 (02:36:47):
Yeah, that is a shame, but.

Speaker 3 (02:36:51):
You know, and I don't suppose anybody will be protesting
in the streets and shedding a tier over the loss
of any of those Southwest employees the.

Speaker 23 (02:36:58):
Federal When I put some on Facebook, and I did
this because of my sister, I put on there what's
that was going on the Southwest in the layoffs and said,
do not association this was tariffs. Don't use it as
some talking point to try to make a point on
the current administration.

Speaker 1 (02:37:17):
This is something that's been.

Speaker 23 (02:37:18):
In the work, yes, for over over a decade, and
it's because they had a change in leadership and they
had people that said, oh, we need to fly to LaGuardia,
We need to fly and increase our presence in Atlanta
and go to these airports that have such issues with
congestion that instead of us using that silver revenue tube
five segments a day, they can now only use it

(02:37:39):
three and four because you're now flying into these areas
where it's impossible to turn that airplane quickly. So yes,
now Southwest is like everybody else. And when you have
nine hundred airplanes and you can get an extra segment,
another you know, segment of profit from every aircraft every day,
it adds up big time. And that's one of the
reasons that for decades Southwest, when nobody was making a profit,

(02:38:03):
they continue to make money year after year after year.
They were the airline of the year. They were the
airline that everyone on the planet wanted to be like.
They were doing so many things great, and then, like
so many businesses, let's try new coke, they decide to
pivot and do something totally in a different direction, trying
to be like other people instead of.

Speaker 1 (02:38:23):
Simply doing what you do best.

Speaker 3 (02:38:27):
Well, let's get this one more in real quick before
we get to the break here, we finally have some
helicopter traffic changes after the impact in Washington.

Speaker 1 (02:38:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:38:40):
In fact, the Federal Aviation Administration has been obviously spending
a lot of time reviewing what went wrong in DC
when you had the situation, and then of course we
had we've had other situations where we've had helicopters in
near proximity to active airports, and the FA is noticing
several airport including Boston, New York, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, and

(02:39:04):
others that have helicopter traffic that is in the near
proximity to the airport, and they're already making changes because,
as you and I've talked about for years, anytime there's
an accident, the main goal is to honor the lives
of those that were lost by trying to make things
safer so that we can prevent that kind of tragedy
in the future. And there's a lot of attention right

(02:39:24):
now in Las Vegas because there's a lot of helicopter
tours around the Las Vegas area, and what they're trying
to do is make sure that they don't have a
situation where you're going to have these helicopters operating too
close to the active either military and or commercial air traffic.
So they're using artificial intelligence and other types of technology
to a identify and then to make the changes that

(02:39:47):
they need to make. And I'm really I'm glad to
see it, but Brian it it's one of those things again.
Why did it take a loss of life for these
things to be done? New for years that the number
of these occurrences were on the increase. Well, nothing's happened,
so I guess we're okay. And that's a deadly, deadly, deadly,

(02:40:09):
you know, standpoint for people to take and sadly in aviation.

Speaker 1 (02:40:12):
That tends to be what happens.

Speaker 2 (02:40:13):
It sure is.

Speaker 3 (02:40:14):
It's just still scratching my head over how that could
have possibly happened.

Speaker 2 (02:40:17):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (02:40:18):
We'll bring Jay Ratliffe back for learn about apparently Frontier
Airlines Jet made a mistake and hub delays. Of course
we always end on hub delays. One more with Jay,
just stick around me right back.

It is a forty nine on a Friday eve Tech
Friday with Dave Hatter and the return of Corey Bowman,
who probably has jumped up in the hearts and minds
of the folks at Hyde Park as a Merriw candidate
given what the council did to him the other day.
So we'll have Corey in tomorrow. In the meantime, one
more segment here with iHeart Media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe. So,
what happened with the Frontier Airlines jet.

Speaker 1 (02:41:52):
It was in Seattle.

Speaker 23 (02:41:54):
It was taxing for takeoffs on a taxiway in the
plane broke down.

Speaker 2 (02:42:00):
Oh wow, got stuck.

Speaker 23 (02:42:02):
So you're now at a point where it can't go anywhere.
You have other airplanes lined up behind them. They can't
go around, they can't turn around. You need to if
if you know them initially that it's gonna be a while,
you would bring out tugs to kind of move the
airplanes around as you need them.

Speaker 4 (02:42:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (02:42:20):
The problem is you think it's gonna get fixed pretty soon.
It's like a weather situation. We call them creeping delays,
where it's gonna be a minimal delay. Well, here's thirty minutes,
Well it shouldn't be much longer. Now it's an hour.
We had flights out there delayed more than two hours
because of this jet, and it was just you know,
with all the flights we have in the course of
the day. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. No injuries,

(02:42:44):
But you talk about the aggravation factor. I mean, you've
got passengers going nowhere that are stuck on a plane,
and since you're on an active taxi way, the rules
are specifically you can't get up and use a laboratory. Now,
in a situation like this, it's gonna be a to
the captain's discretion, even though by the book, you're on
an active taxiway and nobody's supposed to get out of

(02:43:06):
their seats. But obviously, if you're stuck, they probably gave
them some relief there. But you're not going anywhere, And
I mean maybe your flight's only an hour and a
half and you spend two hours on the aircraft.

Speaker 3 (02:43:17):
Yeah, but wait a second, I'm more intrigued than puzzled
by was this a single engine craft or something?

Speaker 2 (02:43:23):
I mean, how does an airplane just break down?

Speaker 1 (02:43:27):
Well, I'm anxious to see the report on that.

Speaker 23 (02:43:31):
But they had to put out an alert at the
airport telling everybody on the traffic part to expect delays
with that particular airport. So, yeah, it was a aircraft
that well relatively knew, I think was delivered in twenty
eighteen or so. But it's just amazing when you have
one airplane that traps, if you will, other airplanes, yes

(02:43:56):
on the textaway and you've seen it when they're all
lined up their nose to tail, nose to tail, nose
to tail.

Speaker 2 (02:44:02):
It's like a traffic channel.

Speaker 23 (02:44:04):
It was it, and you've got mechanical situations. And I'll
be anxious to see exactly what the extent of that was,
because in essence, have two independently operated engines that you
can use. But something prevented that from happening, and that
airplane wasn't.

Speaker 1 (02:44:19):
Go on anywhere.

Speaker 3 (02:44:20):
Yeah, hey, real quick, before you get to hub the lays,
I throw this curve ball light because I saw that
China was refusing to accept its delivery of Boeing aircraft.
They built those aircraft as a consequence of an order
placed by China or the Chinese airline. How the hell
can an airline refuse delivery of a product that it
promised to pay for.

Speaker 23 (02:44:40):
Well, it could be that there was a delivery date provision,
a clause in that contract that says, if we get
the aircraft by this date, we will pay it. If not,
we've got the options to do this, this or that.
Blowing planes are arriving late, so they had that opt out.
But the problem is you may have ordered the four

(02:45:00):
years ago, so you're not going to say we don't
want them to get rid of them kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (02:45:05):
But what happens is they refuse them. Like Boeing's going
to care. Don't worry.

Speaker 23 (02:45:11):
We have seven thousand back order planes. We'll give them
to another one quickly. And that's when Boeing and other
aircraft manufacturers get paid, not until that aircraft is physically delivered,
So you absent of a paint job, although a lot
of times the airlines take care of that. Yeah, anybody's
going to take that airplane. So there's a long line
of eager airlines saying, China, if you don't want them

(02:45:32):
to put we will glad look at.

Speaker 1 (02:45:34):
Him and go from there.

Speaker 3 (02:45:35):
And based on our prior conversations, that should have popped
into my head because I have already mentioned that there
are is a long, long list of planes that are
waiting for delivery.

Speaker 1 (02:45:43):
There's a lot of moving parts here. Cars keep up
with it, just.

Speaker 3 (02:45:46):
The couple and often parts from the don't use parts
bend anyhow, we had on hub delays. What's going on
out there in the world of air travel today, Jack,
A lot of bad.

Speaker 23 (02:45:57):
Weather, But the only hubs I think are going to
be impacted are Dallas to Minnesota. I think Minnesota in
Minneapolis is going to probably be the hardest hit of
the two.

Speaker 1 (02:46:06):
But if you're going through either the.

Speaker 23 (02:46:08):
Delta Hub Dallas Hub for American or Delta Shub in Minneapolis,
expect some delays.

Speaker 1 (02:46:13):
The rest of the country should be in pretty good
shape today.

Speaker 3 (02:46:15):
Always enjoy the conversation, Jay Rath. I've already looking forward
to next Thursday. Have a wonderful balance of your week
and a great weekend, and we'll get together an eight
thirty next Thursday.

Speaker 1 (02:46:24):
On May first. I believe it's good.

Speaker 2 (02:46:26):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (02:46:27):
I'll talk to you next month.

Speaker 3 (02:46:28):
My friend take care man coming up on eight fifty five.
If you didn't get a chance, and I'm telling you
Todd Zenzer, a citizen Watchdog, get his podcast Citizen Watchdog,
former Inspector General for the United States. I mean, the
city of Cincinnati, what a clown car. I just I'm
just reflecting on everything. He revealed this morning about where

(02:46:48):
their expenditures and their priorities lie. I'm survived this. I'm
surprised the city can even survive under its current leadership.
If you didn't get a chance to listen that, it's
well worth your time. You spend an hour in studio
in seven o'clock, So fifty five KRC dot com for that,
and of course my conversation with Jay Tomorrow, Tech Friday
with Dave Hatter and the return of endorsed now by
Todd Zenzer Corey Bowman, who probably got a big leg

(02:47:11):
up yesterday considering Cincinnia City Council shot down the hopes
and dreams of so many people in Hyde Park. It's amazing.
But anyway, that'll be tomorrow. I hope you can tune
in for that program. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Thank you Joe Strecker for all that you do for
the show. And don't go away. Clenback's up next.

Speaker 2 (02:47:28):
