55KRC Monday Show - Ken Kober, Smitherman, Cincinnati VA

h I'm guessing I apologize for the cough. Also going to be speaking to the violence. I'm guessing on that though, But considering the a level of violence in the number of shootings and uh well, assaults and thefts, ander crime is rampant in downtown Cincinnati, So I suspect that's where Christopher's going to go on the heels of Ken Kobra. He'll be on at seven to twenty for the Smither event and then we'll hear from the cincinnti VA. Fast

forward to the end of the program. Christina Hall from the cincinnti VA with some information for our veteran friends out of the listing audience. I love hearing from you. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk or go with town five fifty on at and T Funds. Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day weekend. I sure did. It was nice, of course, sleeping in on an otherwise normal work day and got to spend some time with friends and family,

which is always really a nice thing to do. Relaxing indeed, And I hope you can say the same thing. I hope you weren't in Blue Ash for the outrageous display of fireworks, random shooting of fireworks into the crowds of people that were trying to peacefully and calmly enjoy their Independence Day celebration. Four hundred unaccompanied youth setting off fireworks on a whole bunch of occasions during the Mad Tree, Red White and Blue Ash for the July event at

Summon Park, intentionally causing panic. Got details on that, of course, that's part of the way of crimes going through. But get a load of this, Joe. Where'd you get the list of the criminal activity in downtown Cincinnati that you put together? It's from the CINCINNT Police Department data well, anticipating the conversations we're going to have about the violence.

It's a list of the crimes that happened just pretty much in the central district of downtown Cincinnati between June and July fourth, only up till about seven o'clock in the morning on July fourth. Of course, we had a lot of issues that after seven o'clock in the morning of July fourth, assault, Vine Street, theft, Walnut Street near ninth Court Street, got a bunch of them. And this is all seemed to be, you know, it's kind of

concentrated the same general area. Assault, Court Street, theft, Court Street. These are all between three o'clock in the morning and noon.

Garfield plays assault, Central Parkway, something else happened, arrest, Garfield plays robbery, Vine Street, assault, Main Street, theft, Court Street, there's Court Street again, Court Street, all over the place on this one theft, assault, theft, theft, theft, assault, other assault, talking again, Central Parkway got seventh Street, Court Street, Seventh Street again, Walnut Street, Main Street, Seventh Street again, Central

Parkway again, Main Street again. Noticing a pattern on here. Oh, look Freedom Freedom Way for an assault, there's one out of the oh and Joe knuts All Way, there's one again, another one on Freedom Way. These are out several hours in between each other. Ogden Place, there's Walllingon again, Ogden Place again, Third Street, Third Street, Walnont Street, Main Street, Fourth Street, all just seemingly right there in the center

of the city. I mean, we're not talking about in you know, other notorious neighborhoods, some that have been struggling with crime for a long time, the areas that might immediately come to your mind we think about criminally related activity. This is walking around down town Cincinnati, so really giving you a feeling of comfort going on there. And then look at the headlines this morning. I'll get to them with local stories. Two teens injured in West End shooting

Sunday morning, hmm seven hundred block at Chestnut Street. Three people hospitalized after a shooting near the banks Saturday morning.

Three people hospitalized one thirty am a near on Walnuts Street between sixth and ninth familiar location based upon the list of the ones that preceded Saturday that I just read from police investigated incident believed to involve shots at fired at officers in Westwood Saturday night, obviously called the twenty nine hundred block west of Northern Boulevard for a person believed to be having a mental health episode. Three people have been taken to the hospital after a shooting

in Winton Hills happened Saturday night ten pm. So seems we have a bit of a crime problem going on in the city of Cincinnati. And you know, this has been a terear for Christopher for a while now, and I've made comments on it too, because I share his concern. We have obviously a very left leaning mayor of the City of Cincinnati. I'm not quite sure if he is embraced completely behind the scenes or otherwise. The whole idea of defund the police, but reimagining the police is different

wording for the same general topic. And so when you start sending out, you know, counselors to in little police officers. When counselors are hired as a chunk of the police officer's budget, that means there's fewer active patrol officers out there available. So someone's having a mental health breakdown, you'll get a counselor sent to that. But what happens if

that devolves into criminal activity? What happens to that mental health problems results in that person with the mental health problem pulling out a firearm and starting shooting at people.

Be nice to have a cop there to respond. And the budget implications if you're allocating resources that are not going to police officers, when your police force has already been depleted and running at numbers that are dangerously low, leaving a limited number of officers there to respond to actual emergency calls, you're exacerbating a thank you to the I have to approvol administration. This is the direction they're

going to move in, I'm sure. And he's talked about it before Camcover, he'll probably talk about it again today, And I'm you know, police are there to pretty much clean up the mess. How do we get to an environment where we have really, in a lot of these cases, really really young people going around and getting all shooty at other people. If you're my age, did you ever even contemplate something as bat crap? And same as that breakdown of the family, social.

had an impact, how quickly the river levels rose. It was just an almost immediate thing. And now the death toll is up to at least eighty two people. Rescuers still searching for missing people, ten girls and a counselor from that camp that keeps coming up camp and Mystic,

which apparently is racist too. We've got some former board official out there named Sadie Perkins, remember the Houston feud Food Insecurity Board claiming that it was just white girls and if it was Hispanic girls in the camp Mystic, then nobody would give a damn. It's just an insane and direction. It's you know, everybody's trying to make the most out of this in terms of political advantage. How do you try to take political advantage of a situation

involving this tragedy. Now some may say, well, Republicans did it when it came to Los Angeles wildfires. Yes, but there is a causal connection between the mismanagement of forestry and the allocation of resources and the preparedness for a fires that everybody knew were going to come. So maybe loss of life could have been prevented, maybe loss of property could have been prevented in the leading up to it. But there were multiple warnings given to the area about

this flood. I mean that twelve hours in advance. They upgraded it four hours in advance of an emergency flood, Like, somebody better pay attention. But if people are sound asleep and they're not getting the warnings that are coming from the Weather Service, then they're not going to get the warnings that are coming from the Weather Service. People were warned in advance. Seriously, do you take warnings like this

when you are in a flood zone? Do you do you consider moving out when someone tells you there's flash flood warnings in your area. That seems to me, there's only so much people can do. Do you evacuate Camp Mystic because of what the Weather Service said? I may argue, yeah, you should have. Did they have a plan in place to get move people out in the event that there was an emergency issued? I don't know. Still forty one

people confirmed unaccounted for, according to Governor Greg Abbott. The most recent reporting on this from yesterday evening claim they're going to be searching until everybody is found. That's told, they say is certain to rise more over the next several days. According to authorities that are on the scene there, volunteers and families of the missing who drove to the disaster zone were searching the river banks. Authorities telling them not to and stay away from it. It's dangerous, but

obviously they're wanting to help out. Authorities facing growing questions about weather. Enough warnings were issued in an area along vulnerable to flooding and weather enough preparations were made. See those are the looming questions. But this isn't like it came out of nowhere. Much in the California wildfires. They didn't come out of nowhere. It's happened before. It's going

to happen again. Maybe it's like the boy who cried wolf. Oh, We've gotten so many flood warnings and watches and nothing ever happened, So why would we bother paying attention to this one at this time?

do with this. In other words, DOGE cutting some entity of government is a causal connection with the death of these eighty two and growing number of people in Central Texas. But apparently no normally two weather forecasters on the job in that particular area. They upped it to five, so no staff shortage in connection with the weather forecasters five seventeen fifty five. Care see the talk station Emery. Federal Credit Union's got their golf outing coming up. It's a

wonderful opportunity to get together. Maybe some friends put a foursome together and well help charity. Well enjoying a great day nineteenth Annuel Charity Golf Tournament benefiting since Saint Children's Hospital Charitable Care Fund. It's got four Bridges Country Club again Monday, August eighteenth. So you got a great day golf, opportunity to spend a support a worthy cause and again

maybe do some networking. Yeah, I've seen that go on there at the golf tournament to a few words to speak through the golfers as they head off on the great day in the round of golf. So EMORYFCU dot org the website for all for all the information and to register. EMORYFCU dot org, fifty.

downpourns likely after noon. I have eighty seven overnight low of seventy with partly clottisky's just a slight chance of rain, partly clotty, very human tomorrow, isolated afternoon storms of possibility eighty six for the high overnight low of seventy with partly clottyskis and muggy conditions and Wednesday body with stormy, rainy outflook the rest of the week eighty three for

the high on Wednesday seventy four degrees. Right now, the five KRCD talk station five went three seven, four nine, fifty, five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talks found five fifty on eighteen and t phunds the student observations from the executives. So the fifty five KC Morning Show, Joe Strecker, I was asking if people had any ideas about how to stop the violence in downtown. You know, what's the origin of it? Why does it seem to get worse?

Why don't parents seem to really care where their young people are at any given hour of the day. Well, the silence is definitely from the mayor of the City of Cincinnati on the topic. We know that he alerted me, Joe advised me that police Chief three so that Thiji was out of town over the weekend. I hadn't read that. I trust Joda's word. Why would he lie to me? But if you're going to schedule a vacation and you're

the chief of police. How prudent is it to go out of town on one of the busier holiday weekends, most notably when the temperatures are through the roof and violence tends to get a little more. He didn't know if no pun intended. When the temperatures are up in the humidity, it's a known phenomenon. People talk about it all the time. The summer heats on its way, violence is going to increase. People don't play it as nicely

together when they're heating. So I'm not sure you can say anything about the absence of police Chiefdiji and uptick in the violence over the weekend. But I thought that the violences. Didn't they suspend e scooters and red bikes, Joe, I wasn't that supposed to solve the problem? Yeah, okay, so that's phase one of your proposals. Stop all red bikes and e scooters and then tell all the young

people to go skating midnight, roller skating and it's all over. Well, they've got that, and they suspended the e bike and the red bike use over the weekend. That didn't seem to have any impact. But the other component, I don't know if it's phase one or Phase three or Phase two factor it in there. As I read the list of crimes, and they seem to be concentrated in a particular area of downtown y I got Court Street, you got Walnut Street, you got I mean Main Street, over

and over again. Thefts, violence, assaults, that kind of thing. It's the streetcar line. A lot of these crimes occur on the streetcar line. So Phase three or one or two is shut down the street car maybe it won't happen anymore. Just a thought, just the thought and the impact. Speaking of law enforcement, I thought this was rather frightening. Fortunately, we don't live in New York City, where the leftist Zorhan Mondomini is widely predicted to be the next mayor.

Is scaring the living hell out of people who live in New York, scaring the living hell about across the political spectrum, even within the Democrat Party, who are trying to scramble to figure out how it helld is they can pull the plug on this COMMI well, police officers also pulling the plug on this commedy they have. They're leaving New York police in record numbers, and there's warnings that if this Zorhan Mandomi is elected a mayor, they're

going to lose more police officers. As of this week, one five hundred and fifty five officers have filed for retirement, described as a forty eight percent increase from those who left during the same period last year, a sixty five percent increase from a decade ago, when only nine hundred

and forty one cops turned in their badges. This is data from the Police Benevolent Association, says the union leaders told put the New York Posts are not aware of any point in New York Police Department history when we retirements in the first half of the year have reached this level. They say it's being driven in large part by the growing concern that the Mondomni platform in Redick would make policing in New York City even more untenable.

He's previously called the New York Police Department wicked and corrupt. He's also saying it's it previously said it should be dismantled. I'm sure that's great for morale for the Cincini Police, for the New York City Police Department. But this is a guy who out loud regularly complains about and has historically complained about police. Generally speaking, it's part of the problem,

the problem with the system. I don't know the mayor, Aftab Purval has out loud complained to the level of the communist Mondomni, But again going back to the silence, the fact that he's not out there supporting police and asking neighborhoods to cooperate with police on a regular basis in order to deal with the violence that we're facing a downtown Cincinnati. I think it's reflective of maybe we can read into what his position is relative to the

police department. Maybe the leftist mayor of the city of Cincinnati is afraid of irking some of the far left within his own party and decides, well, it's better to just remain quiet and not say anything in favor of police, but not say anything against police. Just shut up and hide in my basement. Five twenty six five KRC the talk station USA premium phone in the exterior walls of your home. It's the right way to go. It saves

you money and improves your comfort. A lot of hot and humid days dating the obvious, and you'd be in a much better position to deal with the heat and humidity going on right now. If the premium phone was in the walls, you could be under insulated. You could have no insulation in there, which is why USA is happy to come to your place and provide you with a free quote, not enough installation of the walls. The

phone goes along with the old underperforming insulation. It's the highest R value phone in the market, guaranteeing you savings and maybe enough savings monthly to cover the monthly payment which is only ninety nine dollars a month interest free. Lots of folks are are saving more than that. Face that the energy bill is just keep going up and up.

Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

or something. So no, it's a flood prone area based upon the geography, and you know, the warnings were issued. There's only so much you can do. I feel terribly for those folks though. If you look at the end of the water flowing, Oh my lord, who could have expected something like that?

do all too well. I did want to touch on this whole issue with the University of Pennsylvania and uh that it sounds like they fixed it, got it right. Uh, but what whate it would we be if Trump had

won the election? Would that had ever happened? And uh, you know there's an article there was an article about a particular young lady that had to She was assigned to locker right next to this dude, and she would go over to the other side of the locker room to change or or use a different locker room across the hall or whatever. And and look, I understand you're being put in a bad position, but that's the time to speak up. And uh, you know, they're talking about

their their their careers and their futures being threatened. That's the time to speak up. And the more of them to speak up, the better, you know. The biggest voice we heard through that whole thing was Riley Gaines. And he didn't even go to school there, So I don't want to bash on his young lady. I understand she was she was in a bad position, but but that's the time to speak up and say, now, this is not right and this is not fair. We're not doing this.

I'm not even gonna step onto this platform to swim if this is going to be the conditions I got to be, you know, work under. So yeah, thank god that Trump won the election and and that you know, some some wrongs have been righted, and hopefully more to come. And and uh, the only way to keep this going people is don't vote Democrat. I have a great day, Brian.

against women in sports. You wouldn't know that based on social media, but you run the risk of all kinds of problems, and young emotionally sensitive girls, women, you know, have a lot to put you at stake. If they open their mouth and speak out against that notion, They're going to get docs, They're going to get their fixtures posted all over the place. They're going to get you know, probably violent emails and death threats for daring to say

the obvious. So it's a huge decision making thing. And I can understand fear being an impediment to getting out there and talking about your experience and how terrible it was having to compete against a man and having to see his junk in a locker room. That's emotionally traumatic for many young women. There's bad enough. You got to be in there and you have to have body elements. You're looking at your fellow women, and maybe you're feeling sort of, you know, a little concerned about your body

as it relates to the other women in the room. Yeah, oh I'm fat compared to so and so. Hell, you got that going for you already, But now here comes a guy with his junk hanging out. I just can't imagine that struggle five thirty six fifty five K City Talks Station. Although I can't imagine someone's reluctance to say something out loud about it. How about fifteen hundred and

fifty dollars off? That's serious money. It's off a new carrier comforting system from my friends at Zimmer Heating and Cooling. No one wants to lose their air conditioning at this time of year. Of course, no one ever wants to lose their heat in the wintertime, but it does happen now. Zimberal service anything you got, they do great work. They're a wonderful of customer service. That's how they've been well around for coming up on eighty years. Third generation family

thanks for holding over the break, my friend. Welcome back to the Morning Show.

to waste? And we've always said that the recent people, because it's the people of Cincinnati that are voting for this, it's the people of New York City that are voting for that communist mayor, just like they voted for our communist mayor. Where is the Republican Party with all of the funding, all of their resources. Where are the billboards and the full on ad campaigns to start out and to have you had enough yet you've run a city for forty years. Here's your crime rates. We can't help

you if you don't invite us in. So, if you like the way things are, keep voting Democrat. Otherwise give Republicans a chance. Where is Alex Tranthefila, the head of the Republican Party. I would love to have his input of are you guys even trying on these metropolitan areas? Are you just turning your back on those folks walking away from where the big population centers are.

to run, We don't have any candidates support. All we could do would be running issue campaigns, like you say, but with no alternative to the Democrats that are actually running and have you know, pulled papers and signed up to try to get elected. I mean, it's one thing to have a message, which I think they do. It's another thing for someone to be the carrier and bearer of that message in an election. And therein lies a big challenge for at least Hamilton County. I can't speak

to the entire state. Of course, alex is the head of the Republican Party for the state of Ohio now, so he's got more than just the you know, Hamilton County area to to deal with. But as far as Hamilton County leadership goes, I have no clue. Jay. I understand where you're coming from, and I agree there should be some sort of marketing effort. But if you don't have someone to run under that banner, were left without a choice. I hate to have to say it over

to the stack is stupid. New York Post reporting on this one, the Brazilian butt lift. You may have heard of it. It's made it into the stack is stupid quite a few times, usually in connection with someone getting a butt lift procedure with silicone bought from a home depot and done in a motel six. Don't do that, considered dangerous procedure by experts, experts the possibility of death, infection,

and more. New York Post saying it's not just surgery risk, but there is a rather bizarre and gross side effect that goes along with it, something you might want to consider before getting it done. Doctor Eric Anderson and from Chicago based impressions face and body. I guess that's a plastic surgery outfit quote. The BBL smell is real unexpected side effect, often described as a musty or sour smell qRT.

An entity called South Shore Plastic Surgery Team of experts that the smell is often expected for BBL patients after sweating or sitting for long periods, but other factors like tissue death described as a BBL complication, and unhygienic habits that could cause someone with a BBL to have a smelly behind. According to doctor Anderson, he said if a patient was overfilled with fat during the procedure, fat neck crosis, when the faty tissue in the butt dies, can occur.

Rancid smell can develop as a consequence of the death of the tissue. So when there's more fat in area than the bodies, then the blood supply allows the fat we'll die through a smelly process called fat necrosis, which can lead to infections and for antibiotics, hospitalization, and even sepsis. Say it's another obvious cause of the BBL smell. Patients struggle cleaning their bottoms because I guess their butt's gotten

too big. Then because of the surgery that they asked for to make their butt big idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots, all right. Uh, many potential risks come with getting a BBL. One woman revealed that Senner went this two times because the first one, in her word, died scarlet black. A lot of the fat that's reinjecting into your buttocks actually dies, like fifty percent or sometimes more. For this BBL, we focused on lifting my butt and

putting volume in it. Apparently she has spent thirty six thousand dollars on plastic surgeries in order to describe in order to get what she described as a dream body, and even after going through fat and necrosis, she's go ahead and doing it again. By forty six fifty five KRC detalk station. Well, that's why it's in this stack. Stupid QC kinetics for pain, arthritic pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain. You know you don't have to go unto

the knife. You've probably been through the multiple cycles of steroid shots, and now this s words come up surgery. Well, how about something. It's helped a lot of people get their lives back together without more beds, without going under the knife. It's QC Kinetics leaders in regenerative medicine using treatments like advanced cellular therapy and platelet rich plasma which actually help your body heel itself, is not masking the

pain that goes to the root of the problems. Cellular treatments contain growth factors and healing properties which maximize your own body's ability to heal itself, and they've had like ninety two percent patient satisfaction rate with this. These are numbers I got from them. That seems pretty damn impressive considering your options are limited to perhaps surgery, so take them up on the free consultations. Licensed medical providers go over your X rays and mrin to see if you're

a good fit for these through treatments. But it starts with a free consultation. You may be eligible for this. QC Kinetics can be reached five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.

seehealth dot com. No accidents out there right now, but keep in mind that Cold Raine closed off due to construction both directions between US twenty seven and Day Road and otherwise seventy five no delays from two seventy five and share and build a downtown On that he sounds like I'm fifty five KRCB talk station.

those are sordid websites if I recall correctly. Anyway, Streetport the police department detectives on the hunt for Matthew Allen accused of making unauthorized purchases totally nearly seven thousand dollars using a business credit card. On the post on Facebook Sjriff's department, you literally can't make this stuff up. Let's just say his taste and expenses raised more than a few eyebrows.

at the Cooperstown Tournament in New York. Why are you doing that? I don't think we'll ever find out. Apparently, Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association said they're working with law enforcement authorities, mostly because the coach is stripped down in the presence of children. You can even hear children laughing in the video that shows the two nude men's one sprawling over home played in a New York baseball field. Chose the men on the diamond bearing it all in

the presence of children. Boys usually playing the Lake Bluff Field in Chicago's northern suburbs, or members of the Lake Bluff Youth Baseball Association, which had been around more than seventy years. Last weekend at the Cooperstown All Star Village in Onionata, New York, close enough coaches for reasons unknown.

There's the answer to your question, Joe, we don't know Cotton a video decided run around naked on the field, forcing the team to be disqualified in the local Sheriff's apartment in New York to be called Injriff's office said Deputies Corps responded to the Cooperstown All Star Village after security asked the two men to leave, but they refused. However, by the time the deputy showed up, the men had left, as well as all potential witnesses. Everyone cleared out of

the park. Deputies tried to interview anyone involved after obtaining the video, but then the team had returned home to Illinois Baseball Association. Boarding the statement, it's deeply distressed to learn about the recent situation involving Lake Bluff or treating this matter of the utmost seriousness and have contacted relevant authorities who will continue to support those authorities and their investigation of the matter. We have also taken immediate decisive

action by terminating the assistant coaches involved. However, the Sheriff's office said they will not face criminal charges. Accord to the Sheriff's office statement, the case was reviewed by the Ostego County DA, which advised that prosecution was declined due to the level of criminality involved in the fact that all the parties reside out of state. It's not to prosecute a case when all your witnesses are, you know,

about one thousand miles away. I suppose five fifty five. Larry, I'm sorry out of time, but I will happy to take your call off to the top of the arts. You don't mind holding for a few minutes. I'd love to hear it from me. Don't go away. I planned to talk about in the six o'clock hour and maybe starting off with Larry, we'll see.

It's right here, wishing everyone a very happy Monday. Try to make it so anyway, always a good day to listen to fifty five krc Morning Show because we get Christopher Smithman at seven to twenty, former Vice Mayor with the Smither Vent, preceded this morning by Ken Coulber FOP President Ken Cover since I Police Department Union talking about violence and a lot of violence, including the first thing this morning, we got yet another shooting in downtown Cincinnati.

Uh So smith min at seven twenty. Then Christina Hall from the Cincinniva joins the program at seven forty to talk about some veterans related issues. Let's go to the phones. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred and eight hundred and eighty two three talk Larry, Thanks for holding over the break there. Welcome to the Morning Show.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Green is introduced to build on a federal level aimed at outlawing geoengineering practices and banning the release and injection to chemicals into the atmosphere which are intended to alter weather or temperature or sunlight or whatever. So I found interesting because and this is the timing thing, Larry, I wanted to bring that up because last weekend we

were out enjoying a we rented a house. We were charity were the high bidders at a charity auction for the cure starts now, and so we were on the lake in southern Indiana and my kids looked up and they say, look, it's chem trails. And I'm like, oh God, here we go. Now it's just exhaust from the airplane. But no. Flying at a very high altitude, you could see the plane and it was it was ejecting what I believe was kem trail because it started and stopped.

It was a very deliberate pattern. You could watch these huge billowing clouds come out from otherwise what would be the contrail, a multiply larger fog like coming out of the plane. And then it would stop and the plane would travel on for a certain amount of distance and then it would come back on again. So you have

this this series of lines in the sky. And then they did another loop and came back and kept criss crossing, So that to me raised a lot of red flags first time at coming up on sixty years of age in September that I had ever witnessed that phenomenon. So does it have any connection with the outrageous flooding. I don't know, but obviously it's reached the level of Representative Green's attention, and Florida had already banned that type of

activity from happening a dysantis issue. Had a statement on that which I can read. It's quite frightening. So yeah, apparently elected officials, people in high positions, people who presumably have the data, the information and knowledge, you know, what's really going on, are taking note of it and now moving forward to stop it from happening. So I'll let you conclude whether or not it happened and caused this

severe flooding in Texas. It's not the first time we've had that kind of flooding, but I guess it remains a possibility given the level of attention some rather prominent elected officials are bringing them to the concept. Let's see what Keith Scott, Keith, thanks for calling this morning, Welcome of the Morning Show.

the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Radio News. Last night about six point thirty a Greek ship Okay was attacked in the Red Sea. And it's a scary attack because it was attacked by boats drone boats packed up with explosives, and then after that it was attacked by boats of puties. Also maybe they're friends of Somali pirates attacking the ship with RPGs and the ship was also attacked by two rockets fired from Yemen.

going to stop that from happening? And why do you perceive this to be some sort of graver or concerning development when again, it's not the first time this has happened.

Red Sea. I mean, this is serious. And since it was a Greek ship that was attacked, or remember of NATO this week, they could I'm not saying they will, but if they got the cohones to do it, they would ask for an emergency NATO meeting, and since they were attacked in international waters, asked for Article five, All

for one, One for all and another thing too. Information I've found out in the area surrounding Greece, their friends like Italy and the other countries surrounding Italy and Greece are very very mad about this that happened last night. None of this is getting reported in our news meeting in our country, and this is a danger to the entire Red Sea, like I said, the Strait of hor moves and the Persian Gulf. This new situation of these drone sick ships packed with explosives.

haven't claimed responsibility for it. Bomb carrying drone boats hit the shift after it was targeted by small arms and rocket propelled grenades, so it was a multi prong attack as you suggest. But yeah, this, I mean, how does one deal with the threat again in a world where it's almost like a world where more and more people

have nuclear weapons, more and more people. Countries, even very poor countries and crazy houthy rebel groups can acquire these types of weapons, and they're not under particular hierarchical structure. I don't know that Iran's Ayatola is making these or telling these folks to commit these types of acts. There are lots of rogue actors out there. So you could negotiate peace, and you can get every Arab country in the Abraham Accords and agree that we're all going to

sort of be peacefully coexisting together. And yet there's always a handful of nut jobs out in the world who are willing to go ahead and do something thiss like this because they don't believe in what their elected officials are doing. So it's reported here sharly before midnight in yame In, Israel's military issue to warning of for three hoofy held ports and said air strikes would begin shortly.

So we may see some Israeli air strikes coming. But yeah, I don't know how you eradicate that as a threat. Our world is far more dangerous than it ever has been, at least from my perspective. New Hampshire, Gary, Let's see what Gary's god this morning thanks for calling the program. Gary. Good to hear from you.

But it was a deliberate, deliberate on and off, and very clear difference between the cam trail that obviously was following the plane and this huge outburst of whatever was being released, at least again from my standpoint on the ground watching it happen, and the fact that it was criss crossing. This plane was not going any particular place. It was going back and forth in a very deliberate pattern. It finished one pass, it turned around and came back

and did another pass or two or three. So that doesn't make any sense for me. So lots of questions, And then again you got this. Let yeah, I know, I don't know what to see. Couple that, couple that Gary with with the Florida's recent action banning this from happening, and Marjorie Taylor Green's now introducing a bill on a federal level to stop it from happening. Seems to me either it must be happening out there, whether or not I witnessed it, or it's something that could be explained

away by your your comments. Maybe some of it could be explained away by that, but why all the attention being brought to it now? Anyway? Appreciate calling me amster Gary six sixteen coping with six seventeen fifty five KRC detalk station.

And my kids are all of the belief that chemtrails are a thing. And then I come home and I read over the weekend about this legislation on a federal level for Marjorie Taylor Green on the heels of again, Florida already passing center Bill fifty six, which prohibits geoengineering a weather modification from airplanes. So if guv Or Desanta's believes it, and the Florida legislature believes it, and at least some members of Congress believe it, maybe there is

something to it. I'm still jury out on it though, John, I haven't concluded one way or another.

we were being fed by way of information. We had to wait to find that out though, you know, the information trickles out very slowly. And look here I'll pivot over to this one. See as we learn more and more about JFK's assassination of what the CIA knows that only took decades, fbis now determined that Jeffrey Epstein had no client list, so don't wait for that anymore. Also, he apparently didn't blackmail anyone, and he definitely killed himself

new reporting that has come out on that. Do you believe that, in the face of all the conspiracy theories and all the promises that we would get the client list and all the information, Mam, maybe not. Bill. You're gonna have to hang on if you don't mind for a moment. I love to take your call, but amount of time. It is six twenty five right now, and I want to mention and refer everybody to affordable imaging services, low overhead, but the same type of equipment hospitals use

for images, echo cardiograms, MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds. They are affordable. Literally by comparison, I guess you might think that, well, oh, I don't know, eight hundred with an enhancement, echo cardiogram sounds unaffordable. Compare that to thirty five hundred dollars or more which you would pay at the imaging department at

a high hospital. Clearly far more affordable. MRIs thirty five hundred dollars at a hospital four ninety five without an enhancement, CT scans five grand at a hospital four point fifty without a contrast, only six hundred with a contrast. Every image of done by affordable imaging comes with the board certified radiologists report in the report in the price. I've used these before, I've had images there before. Not to peep out of my doctors about the concern with the

report or the images. Everything is fine. It's the same kind of equipment. Hospitals use. People operating this equipment for decades. They know what they're doing. So exercise your choice. You have a choice five one three seven five three eight thousand, five to one three, seven, five, three eight thousand. Visit them online at Affordable Medimaging dot com.

So there you have it. Record corrected. Christopher Smithman was not there.

I've ever seen it. A very It was a jet, very high altitude and a very distinct pattern of on off with this billowing cloud coming out of the back of the air airplane that it would shut off and the plane would travel a certain distance and it would come on again, and the plane went back and forth and back and forth. Now I can't explain that. I'm not saying that they were doing something nefarious or purining down aluminum or whatever people believe are in the chemtrails.

But it was clearly a distinct on off concept that was going on, and the fact that it was doing lapse back and forth seemed inconsistent with anything a normal like airline, a passenger airliner would be doing. And then I start doing research for the program over the weekend.

This weekend, and I see the Representative Margie Taylor Greens now introduced a federal piece of federal legislation happened over the weekend at outlawing geoengineering practices and banning the injection to release the chemicals into the atmosphere intended to alter weather, temperature, or sunlight, making the act a felony offense targeting both

private and government efforts to manipulate the climate through artificial means. Now, if you don't believe it, and I understand that because I was a total non believer until last weekend and now I'm just sort of sitting on the fence wondering, HM, that was an odd phenomenon I witnessed. But now we have people in high elected capacity that are saying it does in fact exist, so much so that we need

legislation to ban it. Now, I have to believe on some level that they have scientific research or other research

that at least convinced them. That is a concern that we need to worry about, insomuch insofar as we need a criminal law to stop it, said, I'm introducing a bilit of prohibacy injection, released or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity will be a felony offense, according to her post on X now that her bill is not

the first out of the gate to do this. It's modeled after a bill that just passed in Florida, sent it Bill fifty six, which prohibits all forms of geo

engineering and weather modification aimed at altering Florida's atmosphere. Bands activities inject release, disperse chemicals, compounds, substances, or equipment into the atmosphere with the intent to alter temperature, weather, climate, or sunlight intents and e violations considered now a third degree felony punishable up to five years in prison and finds up to one hundred thousand dollars. Governor DeSantis again someone who I always considered of sound mind. He seems

to be reasonable. He doesn't seem like a conspiracy theorist. I don't think he's uttering things like lizard people are controlling the government or nonsense like that. The year of the Overnight program, he said, after also pointing out that they banned flora in public drinking water, and he said, in addition to this, I also reiterated in Miami that Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already do not permit this activity. I will be signing SB

fifty six to prohibit the practice in our skies. Free State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces. Now, Florida used to allow permits for geoengineering weather modification. This bill repeals all of that. Bill also includes key enforcement provisions.

Beginning October of this year, all publicly owned airports must report the presence of any aircraft equipped with whether modification or geoengineering equipment to the Florida Department of Transportation and the Department of Environmental Protection will launch a public reporting portal to identify suspect violations, which will launch over the summer. Now again, I'm still out. I don't know what's being released. I've seen all kinds of crazy allegations about what's being released,

but apparently something is being released. Otherwise they wouldn't be proposing legislation, I'd like to think anyway, And again, this isn't coming from some looney tune wing of any particular political party. I mean, go ahead and ignore Marjorie Taylor Green's effort to do this on a federal level. But going back to Governor de Santis, don't you think he has learned people, scientists and research and public policy and papers that would prevent him from stepping in a legitimate

conspiracy theory by supporting the legislation and signing it into law. Hey, Governed de Santis, Ron, don't do that. It's a bunch of crap. This doesn't exist, it's not happening. There's nobody trying to geo engineer anything. Look, here's all the research and data supporting this position, and you need to stay ten thousand feet away from it. Are they going to label you a lizard person believing looney tune? I would like to think Ron Santa says advisors along those lines,

So something to consider. I don't know how we ended up on this tangent other than the fact that all of these sort of stars aligned in my world relative to how I used to think. And now I'm at least open to the concept that is actually happened six forty six fifty five K see the talk station. I'm

not much of a conspiracy theorist. Takes me a lot of information and time to reach an informed decision, but it is kind of comical to reflect back on what I initially labored crazy conspiracy theorists, and then if you fast forward a few years, then you find out, oh, wait a minute, they were right all along, Maureen, you know I'm talking about you.

on that eazabac. I'm fifty five k RCD talk station.

just share two tidbit tidbits. Thank you, Marine. I appreciate the fact that you're listening out there, and I appreciate all the links that you give me to conspiracy theories, which I discount immediately, only to find out later that well, they do have some merit talking about discipline and violence and the problems we're having the city of Since an Ken Cobra FLP president at the top of the air news Christopher Smith Aman, something tells me, although I do

not know that he's going to have a comment or two about violence. And it was a terrible, terrible several days in a row, but it makes me pivot over to maybe there's solutions here and actually enforcing the Criminal Code of Justice and seeing that these lawbreakers actually are held accountable and responsible. It's a pillar of law enforcement punishment as a deterrence for the rest of us. And it's coming to schools. Saw this editorial board the Wall

Street Journal. School discipline makes a comeback. Whatever happened to school discipline? I always wonder why people didn't get suspended anymore. They were at discipline policy. In k through twelve, public schools rode the progressive tide on race and crime. In recent years, the Feds and states push therapy over suspensions and expulsions, but classroom misbehavior has surged since the COVID lockdowns, and some states are responding with changes that will benefit

teachers and students. Texas legislature may pass the bill that makes it easier for teachers to remove misbehaving students from classrooms and extends the allowable time for in school suspension. Some three three hundred district Texas District employees were targets of student assault in one single countary year twenty three to twenty four. That's according to the reporting by the Texas Tribune. Removing students for any unruly, disruptive, or abusive behavior,

as the legislation allows, could help prevent such escalation. Arkansas, back in April, pass the law ensures students removed for violent behavior aren't returned to the same classroom. Also stripping from state law requirement that districts use positive behavioral support, which focuses on conflict resolution and coping skills to address student misbehavior, Washington State Superintendent finalized rules effected this month

loosening restrictions on removing, suspending, or expelling students. Other states taken similar action in release in years, including Louisiana and Nevada, where the state teachers' unions supported legislation making it easier to remove students. All this marks a shift away from the progressive push for therapeutic or restorative practices before or

instead of classroom removals. The Obama administration encouraged districts to emphasize positive interventions over student removal, and a twenty fourteen guidance letter warning of racial disparities and disparities and traditional discipline. A twenty twenty three Biden Education Department document advocated listening and healing and warned that suspensions and expulsions, in their words, often disproportionately affects students of color. The soft disciplined policies

have victims of their own. Cord to the Texas Built, teachers are getting hit, kicked on, spit on, and cussed out. The fact that we cannot suspend these students and have to wait, in some cases weeks until we can bring parents and team members together to create a solution is leaving both teachers and ministration with a feeling of helplessness, said one district superintendent. Peers of disruptive students also robbed

of learning time. According to a former teacher writing for the Fordam Institute last year, Daniel Buck peers, given the high poverty schools struggle the most with disciplinary challenges, keeping disruptive students in classroom only widens the achievement gap. This is hardly racial justice. Many Democratic states are still pushing therapeutic practices, but at least districts don't face the same

pressure from the feds. President Trump issued in April executive order to crime equity ideology in school discipline, calling on the Education Secretary of Line mc mann to produce a report on the model school discipline policies. The order rejects the Obama era practice which the Biden administration never disavowed, of investigating districts for civil rights offenses based upon statistical racial disparities and discipline data. This should ensure schools are

free to enact discipline based on behavior, not race. School discipline is mainly a local matter, as schools can best judge the struggles of individual students while protecting teachers and classmates. The Trump administration will do the most good if it lets states and districts figure it out, as many of them are already doing. Yeah to see, maybe if you discipline the children a little bit more harshly threaten them

with expulsion or suspension, maybe they'll stop doing it. At least it'll be in the arsenal of ways to deal with an obviously ever growing problem. Six fifty six fifty five kr CD Talk Station FLP President Kencobra on the violence continuing in the city and the silence of the mayor on the issue. Christopher Smithman at seven twenty be right back.

Joining the program this morning, Welcome back Fokey, President the Federal Order Police Chapter sixty nine for the Sinsinant Police Department. Ken cober Or President, Welcome back, Ken. It's always great having you on the program.

Got a Winton Hill shooting police investigating that happened Saturday night as well. I mean, the list is almost endless, and it seems to be getting worse. Ken, covert your reaction, and plus the list that Joe Strecker compoted he got from the Since Police Department, showing all of the assaults, thefts, and other arrests that happened, mostly like in the central business district of downtown over the past several days leading up to the fourth of July holiday weekend. I mean, this is crazy, Ken.

My folks need to know where I was all the time. And you know, you need to ask permission to be out past a certain curfew hour. And if you didn't ask for mission, you're going to get in a world to hurt when you finally got home. I mean, that kept me out of trouble for the most part anyway.

The silence from the council and elected officials, including the mayor, is deafening, is it not, Ken.

in line too. But I mean, if it's bad, that bad morale wise, and from an officer considering employment of the Insant Police Department, here's about this, Like wait a minute, I'm gonna be out there putting my life on the line, spinning my wheels, and they're going to get just freed by the justice system because as well the magistrates, you don't think it's a legitimate charge. What's the point I'm going to go in with a bad taste in my mouth as a potential employee.

But you know what, it doesn't shock me in any way, shape or form, given this the current climate. God bless you man. Keep up the great work, and you're always have a venue here to talk about what's going on.

are dying. I mean to wake up to three people shot on the banks, I mean, that is the heart of your downtown, that's where the Dora is, that's where our stadiums are, you know, and so city call keeps saying everybody is safe. These are one offs. And then to hear the FOP president Say Hey, a twenty year veteran is saying, this is the most violent time they've ever served as a Cincinnati Police officer. That is the reality. That is what's happening. Officers are being shot at, youth

are not being held accountable. The judges are letting them loose when they are arrested, no matter what it is, whether it's a gun, whether it's fireworks, And the reality of it is, we have a mayor we can't find, we don't even know where he is. We don't have a city council that's pushing back on the mayor. They're nine members of council. Somebody should be pushing back on the mayor. Brian Thomas saying, we have to have a

real plan. Number One, We've got to have uniformed officers in their cruisers downtown after nine o'clock until two or three o'clock in the morning. You can't bring down those officers between the times of eleven am and seven pm and think you're gonna deal with the crime that you and I are most concerned about. We need visible officers. You can't have cloth up officers who are in playing clothes.

That doesn't deter What that does is those officers are running to the scene after something happens because you don't see the cruiser, they don't see the uniform. So if we're not gonna get control of our downtown, we're not going to get control of the core Brian Thomas, I'm trying to figure out what mayor pure Vault is doing. This is why I'm supporting Corey Bowman premiere. This is why I'm supporting somebody like Matthew's for city Council. I

want something different. I don't want to get to November and have the same problems st you and I talking about the same thing next year, because we have the same administration. And I'll tell anybody listening in the fifty two neighborhoods, you vote for the same thing, you're going to get exactly what you voted for.

Even with a bunch of kids gathering in a gang and threatening people or committing criminal acts, you know they're going to be let out. Why deal with the paperwork? What's the point? And so you know the.

of restaurants and businesses downtown. You know the Brady Center with concerts, you're going to be feel comfortable coming out of a concert right there by the banks and walking back to your car.

media say everything's okay, come on downtown. There's no way the former vice mayor is gonna go downtown, go to downtown after a certain time period because I don't want to deal and have one of these confrontations that ends up me or the person in a bad situation. Downtown is out of control. And we have a mayor who is assent.

connection between that or nothing. But Christopher, real quick, before we get you back on your rant. I don't mean to go off in a different direction, but we had a caller this morning and accuse you of voting for the sanctuary city law, and Joe Strecker looked it up and said, no, you weren't even present when that vote, was taking your home taking care of your cancer stricken wife, Pamela.

actually can by empowering their police department. If we have a police department that wants to do their job, but they've got to feel like they're going to be supported because they understand that once they interact with one of the young African American youth downtown with a gun, they then the white officer or black officer returns fire or has to take the life of one of these young people.

They know that all of the activists across the state of Ohio and the United States, because CNN will be all on it right that they don't want to take that chance with their entire family, their life. I'm talking about the police officer. Police officers understand downside. So the bottom line is they understand that you have a mayor who really wants to reimagine the police department. They have a mayor that really wants to defund the police department. Right,

we're talking in a backhanded way. He can't say it clearly, But you can go.

issue in the city. Sinciety and I think Governor Mind do want should consider bringing the National Guard into downtown Cincinnati to secure it, to quell the violence and give our police department the opportunity to get their hands around it, and the four City Hall to do what do their jobs. Yeah, I cannot have these apples said, not continue to have the violence that we're having with brown people and black

people killing each other in the streets. The epidemic that we're experiencing in Cincinnati is not like it's not happening in Cleveland. Are happening in Toledo, but we live in Cincinnati. Let's do something about it. Let's act like we really care about it. We can't just have a mayor who's trying to look pretty and talk about where he wants to go next when you have all of the bloodshed that's happening in our city. It's just a really and

the FOP president. I hope everybody listens to that interview that you did with President FOP kN Kobra. That was sobering to hear what he was saying that was really going on, because if you listen to him and then you listen to the mayor, there are two separate stories. Who do you believe.

the neighborhoods. So yeah, seven nine if if you have Kerosene detalk station Brian Thomas with Christopher Smithman and Christopher doing the smither vent having a go at our elected officials downtown Cincinnati, the mayor and city council. The silence from them is acutely deafening in terms of the violence

that's going on. Is this a marketing campaign or do they think just by hiding and not answering questions and not addressing it directly and not demanding people cooperate with police or supporting the police, is this just all an effort to make the to paint a pretty picture or is there something more nefarious going on. I mean, we're kind of left to guess.

come out and say I support the police. When have you heard our mayor just simply say I support our police department and I want them to do proactive policing. I'd like them to be downtown when we have the crime, and I'm going to support them as they make those decisions.

We know we have a youth issue downtown, we know we have guns, and we know it's a recipe for p Why can't I or say that because of his base, Brian Thomas, he's worried about a primary and if he says those kind of things, the people of most primary vote voters will not vote for him, and so he's putting our lives and our city at risk for his political career. That is the sad part of what I see. Gee, that's what I liked about Mayor John Cranley, whatever they

said about him, whatever, you know, his toughness are. Sometimes he can be, you know, verbally rough on people when he's holding account of but he was tough on crime. You know, John didn't messing.

So do you really truly get a sense that your people in your community really have a disdain for police or would they prefer a greater police presence, Because I keep thinking that this anti police sentiment, it's bad for every neighborhood. If you have crime in your neighborhood, I would like to think that you want it cleaned up, and clean it up, you need cops, and that most people probably really deep down support the police and would like to see their neighborhood safe, and that they reject

this argument that the police are all evil people. And should be kicked out of the neighborhood. So where are you on that in your belief relative to what the people actually want?

And so what politicians' way is, if I can't get out of the primary, I can't run in the general. I'm letting you know how politicians think. And so he cannot piss off meaning this, this current mayor can't piss off this woke part of his party. They vote wants you to kneel because they vote. And if he comes out and says I support the police, and they're out there saying no, I want you to reimagine it. I want you to bring counselors in to respond to runs.

I want you to defund the police, whatever the word is. I want you to do he's thinking in his head the next step. If I do those things, I might not win a primary, right, And so this is the problem with electing people that are as ambitious as our current mayor. That's what I'm saying. So they answer your question is yes, our fifty two neighborhoods, Brian Thomas, they overwhelmingly want police and want to support the police, want

to call nine to one one and get a response. However, in a primary, many of those people aren't showing.

Guardian into our downtown to secure it. We cannot continue to have the number of African Americans losing their lives and we have a dysfunctional mayor who cannot put a plan together. And part of that plan is supporting the police department in a way that they understand they're supported. Brian Thomas. It's not about just bringing your police chief, who's a great police chief, Chief Fiji, bringing her forward and saying, hey, here's what crime looks like across the city.

Is going to your chief and saying, I've got your back.

their child away to camp. They've got their families that are listening to us, and their kids are at camp right now. These are the things that just tear your heart out. You know, eight ninety ten year olds who are drowned, and the weather pattern, my understanding, change so dramatically. So there's nobody there quote at fault, but the reality of it is it's a try that is still going on right now, and I hope the federal government, which I'm sure they will, will intervene, do whatever they can

do to support Texas. But I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime where I've seen so many young people lose their lives to some type of catastrophic tropic wintery weather event, and so have I just been watching it in my heart. Brian has just been going out for those families that just where they have not found the bodies of these young people as they're searching for them.

this flood. So yeah, it's just awful, It really really is.

That's really where I am. And I don't mind the short term pain for the long term gain at at at at some point, we've got to reign in these countries, in my opinion, and I don't and I'm not smart enough to know which countries we need to rein in. China is obviously one of them. But the reality of it is, we have got to set a standard here

and it's not gonna be easy to do. So I'm an I'm appreciative that the White House that President Trump is willing to stand up to some of these countries and say to them, listen, if if we bring our cars to your country, and you're gonna are just a thirty five percent fee, I'm interchanging the word fee and terror for me to bring those goods into your country, you bring yours in them. I'm not going to charge

you anything that just doesn't seem fair to me. And so whatever that fair ground is, there's a lot of smarter people than me who want to deal with you know, our trade deficit. But I just want to say publicly, I think the White House and the President they're on the right track here, and this week we're going to see things coming to a head. I mean, the reason I'm bringing it up is the tear of deadlines are here. I think we're going to see things coming to a head.

And I want to be publicans say hey, listen, this is a good thing. We might have a short term blips. You know what I do for a living in the in the stock market. We've got to be as Americans thinking longer term, not just what's happening on a daily basis with our portfolios. There's a bigger picture here when we're in this global economy, and we've had globalists be the President's for a long time, right, who really decimated

the middle class, decimated our manufacturing across our country. And you can just drive through through the state of Ohio and see those manufacturing plants that have been closed. Well, where do you think those jobs went? Those jobs went to Mexico, those jobs went to China. And you have a president that's saying, listen, I want to build a middle class in the United States, not in India. I want to build a middle class in the United States, not in China. I think that's the right position for

the right house. Now what is the right calibration? Not smart enough to know that, but big picture, I think he's on the right track.

I didn't look at Matthew twenty five Ministry's website, but you want your contribution to go one hundred percent to those in need, it will be the best place to donate some money. All the money goes to those folks in need, and Matthew twenty five usually stepping up to the plate really quickly in the aftermath of these natural disasters.

So I presume that that is the case. This morning, UH five on three seven eight hundred eighty two to three talk Go with Tom five fifty on at and T phones if you have a comment, love to hear from you. But continuing a theme since started with Kenkober FLP President at seven oh five on they just the outrageous amount of violence going on the city of Cincinnati,

Lots and lots of shootings. Of course, the roving gangs of teenagers ignoring curfew, the failure of the judges and the magistrates that actually enforce curfew when they are picked up in violation of curfew, makes the cops not want to do their job. Of course, A depressing report from Ken on the morale level with the CINCINNT Police Department.

A lot of people planning on quitting the job. And when you hear that, Ken Reports, a twenty year veteran police officer, said he has never ever seen things as bad as they are right now in terms of the violence. You know, you have a real problem on your hands. And I would imagine given that police aren't inclined to do their job and arrest people safe for curfew violations because it's an exercise in futility, leaving them with hours

of paperwork and apparently no resulting prosecutions. Word of course, among the young people's gotten out about that they don't have to worry about curfew and you know, damn it, where are the parents and all this? But Vicki nut Are apparently a resident of the city of Cincinnati, and Corey Bowman reposted her post from Facebook and she sums it up nicely. She obviously is well connected with what's

going on here. And Vicky, I appreciate you going out on a limon saying what you are thinking about and what you're asking for from the elected officials. Dear Mayor, I have to have pur of all members of city Council. She writes, I'm writing you in someone who's lived in downtown CINCINNAI for almost five years and has a family

legacy in Cincinnati since the mid eighteen hundreds. My family and I have probably supported the city, believing its future by opening multiple businesses downtown, but are growing increasingly discouraged by the direction of the city is heading. What used to be a vibrant in Liverpool City now feels unsafe, poorly managed, and weighed down by misplaced priorities. The over one majority of citizens wants the same basic things, and this is something Christopher agreed with safety, order and clean

functional city. I'm not asking for perfection. We're asking to do the job you're elected to do. The job is not to pander to fringe ideological movements. It's a lead and keep us safe. It's not that complicated. Start with law and order, she writes. The banks and OTR, which should be a showcase for our city, has become chaotic. What should be welcoming destination for tourists, families, and professionals is being overrun by crime, aggressive behavior, in an atmosphere

that drives good people away. Large groups loiter with no regard for the public, fights breakout, cars motorcycles recklessly race through the streets at all hours, pandering non stop and aggressive. People feel unsafe and they feel they're either avoiding the area or leaving the city altogether. Banks Area, Reds Bengals, J Brady Music Center, Heritage Bank Center, Smell Park, and many of our best bars and restaurants. It should be a completely safe zone with a strong, visible and constant

police presidence. Crime and homelessness should not be tolerated here, not because we lack compassion, because the city is set, because it's the city's front porch and we should treat it that way. OTR includes our shopping and dining destinations, Arts District, FCC, Cincinnati Family Market, and Environment residential Area. What used to happen at night, shootings, stabbings and assaults are now commonplace in the middle of the day time.

Our once beautiful Piot Park front ports of the city hall overrun with the homeless who use the benches for beds, water fountains for bathing, and the connect Cincinnati alleys for garbage picking, restrooms and drug transactions. Ninth Street Historic residential District that includes a school in several churches is a dangerous racetrack to ice seventy five at all hours of the day and night. Fountain District has now become like the Wild West, where shootings and assaults cur almost daily.

We must embrace our police officers and let them do their jobs. They should not feel uncuffed by policies, public scrutiny, or lack of institutional support. Officers need to be empowered to enforce the law and hold criminals accountable, whether it's petty crime or violent offenses. At the same time, we must begin to incentivize the next generation to join law enforcement. We continued treating police officers like a problem instead of part of the solution, we will soon face a staffing

crisis that no amount of policy can fix. Too often we're being held back by regulation, red tape, and hesitation to act. Across the river in northern Kentucky coming to the Newport are thriving building out there in riverfronts, adding restaurants, bars, housing, and more. Meanwhile, Cincinnati sits paralyzed. We should have floating bars, docks, and waterfront restaurants on the Ohio River. Our greatest natural asset is sitting under utilized, While underutilized, while investment gets

smothered in permitting delays and outdated zoning laws. Sounds like Corey Bowman, doesn't it. We need to remove unnecessary barriers to progress and courage entrepreneurs, embrace creativity, make it easy and affordable to build our businesses. Here Cincinnati is worth fighting for, but it needs leadership. Real leadership, the kind of puts public safety before political optics, not the kind

of prioritize the common sense. The kind of prioritizes common sense over ideology, the kind that does not serve a nod for a profit. Do the city's job to keep our streets clean and safe, and taxing us a special assessment for these services. We have the talent, we have the location, we have the people. Now we need the courage to act. Cincinnati deserves more. Speaking for frustrated but

hopeful downtown residents and business owners. Again, props of Vicky Nutter and appreciate Corey Bowman reposting it because they don't know that. I'm not friends with Vicky, so I wouldn't have seen this. Have some Cory's repost. Let's get over to the phone. It's got a couple of callers online. We'll start with patriot. Jeff, Jeff, welcome back, my friend. It's always good hearing from you.

to be better. And yet if you take all the roadblocks away, especially when you're acting negatively towards the community, then I don't even understand why people even think it's going to get better.

if you're stupid. The government seems to suggest, and I regularly suggests, at least folks on largely the left hand side of the political ledger, that they can eliminate these speed bumps in life, that they can make everything easy and smooth the path and avoid all confrontations that you might encounter. I mean, when you were commenting about programs, you're like paying people to not commit crime. That's a legitimate thing. You know. Wait a second, really, no, I

didn't commit crime because I was afraid of punishment. You know, from starting when I was a little kid my parents, to the criminal justice system, being held accountable, spending time in jail. There's a lot of reasons why I wouldn't want to engage in criminal activity. Plus there's that whole thing of pesky morals and ethics that my parents raised me with. So oh, you know there's a thought as well.

I don't have the answer to the societal breakdown. I think largely it's a result of the familial breakdown and the lack of you know, solid nuclear families providing children with guidance morals and ethics and maybe even religious.

yet we act like they're the enemy. And I'm just or I should say, the new culture is that they're and somehow negative, and yet they work so hard to help us and and protect us, and and and even I'm never well, I mean I understand. And there are cases, you know, very few in the world where the police officers do get a little heavy handed. Every police officer I've ever met never wants to be violent, never wants

to pull their weapon. That they would love for every single person to just do what they ask them to do and they and everything would de escalate. But for some reason, now it seems like every walk of life, our entertainment, everything paints the police as this negative force. Well, I've never understood that from a young age.

majority of us actually want law and order. It's the silent majority out there that apparently don't have the social media weight to control the narrative, a narrative which is overwhelmed by the far left wing of the Democrat Party, which is all about defund police, Black Lives matter kind

of issues, and Antifa. Those are the minority. Yet they're the loudest, squeakiest wheels in the room, and they have a way of actually getting their non governmental organizations funded by crazy left wing administrations like I have to have par Ball and the members of Cincinnai City Council. That's where they're getting their push, that's where they're getting their directive.

I mean, you can't draw or come up with any other conclusion than that, because the vast majority of us want law and order eight seventeen fifty five kres through the talk stationan marine you are in next, you don't mind holding for a moment, Looking forward to having you on the program.

and he goes. I'm thankful I was on my bike because I was able to get away. So anyway, so I've been hearing more and more about all of this on your program. And my daughter's getting married in a few months this summer. So we sent out a list in the thank you, a list of hotels to stay at in the invitation. Well, now we're getting calls from people out of town saying that they are hearing about the crime in Cincinnati. Can we send them a list of hotels outside of this city and so that they

can stay there and feel safe. So it's acting the business this big time, and it's not locally that people are hearing about this. It's making news and other states. It's unbelievable. But this mayor has got to be replaced. I don't know.

when people get shot. And I woke up this morning every single story in my local local news involve these shootings that happened over the past three days. So you can't cover it up.

of time and then it came back on again. It was like, you know, a Morris Code kind of effect with on dash space dash space and then a turn and a loop back making a pattern back and forth. So it's like, no, they can't be on final approach to the airport in Indianapolis because why would they be doing that back and forth with this pattern going on. So my kids immediately, Yeah, they believe in chemtrails and they believe that, you know, aluminum or something being dumped

on crops. Regardless of what they believe, I'm like, wow, this is the first time I've ever seen it. And then you couple that with Marjorie Taylor green House US House Representative and are introducing federal legislation over the weekend to outlaw this, coupled with the built in Florida with this Santus who actually came out and talked about it. Their legislative branch voted and in saying we're banning this

from happening in Florida. And I trust Ron de Santas, right, And why would he go out and say this is happening and it's a thing, and I'm signing this ban into law unless it was really going on. Right.

convinced that this is actually a problem. So whether or not you believe in it or not, people in responsible positions who have an opportunity to view the evidence and decide whether or not they want to go on record as believing in it or not have actually gone on the record saying that yeah, it's happening, allright. I always appreciate you and what you do and all the texts and information you provide with me each and every week. It means a lot to me. Keep me on the

stories all filled with it. We start from this morning, one thirty in the morning, Hutchins Avenue and Reading Road in Avondale. A man was killed in a shooting. So beyond confirming that a man was killed, it remains unclear whether the police have a suspect. Again, that one just broke this morning as we were talking about, well, violence in downtown Cincinnati. Oh look, more violence in downtown Cincinnati

West End. Sunday morning shooting injured two people happened to the seven hundred block at Chestnut Street two thirty in the morning. According to Lieutenant Cunningham of the Cincinni Police Department, a sixteen year old boy was shot and taken a UC Medical Center with serious injuries, and a little bit later, a second victim, a fifteen year old boy, called from the eleven hund of block of Cedar Avenue, saying he had been shot on chess Nut Street as well taking

the Children's Hospital for treatment non life threatening injuries. In that particular case, Local news CPOs Grace Hamilton reporting thank you, Grace. Apparently two cars are being investigated at the scene that she witnessed, a car that had crashed into a telephone poll on Lynn Street, another car found on Chestnut Street. Bullet holes located in the side of the Lincoln Recreation Center on Lynn Street. Officers couldn't provide a description of

the suspect. No additional information available on that dull look. Three people hospitalized after shooting near the Bank's Saturday morning, according again Lieutenant Jonathan Cunningham, busy MANNY as these days, shooting happened around one thirty in the morning near Walnut Street between sixth and ninth Street. Initially, report of the incident began as a fight that led to shots being fired.

Victims seventeen year old girl and a nineteen year old man and a twenty year old male with then a cunning against that All three victims suffered non life threatening injuries. Despite this nearby shooting, Fox nineteen reporting Thanks Queen Shetty, got City Chapter FOP President Can Cobra says the violence in the area of the Banks has dropped significantly. He was on this morning complaining about the violence that's out there.

He said, they've stayed out of the Banks, which has been a fantastic part for those bar owners down there for the night life down there. Has been a significant change, attributes the new curfew put into place. No one under twenty one is allowed of the Banks area between ten pm and two am on Friday and Saturday. However, if you do pick up someone for violating the curfew, apparently nothing is done about it, which is what Ken pointed

out this morning. Magistrates just sort of on their own decision making authority throwing out charges against kids who've been picked up for violating curview and being involved in criminal activity there we go. Saturday night, Westwood Police investigate an

incident believe to involve shots fired. Sergeant Anthony Mitchell since a police department speaking with Fox nineteen said the officers called a twenty nine hundred block Western Northern Boulevard about ten thirty pm for a person believed to be having a mental health episode. Sergeant Mitchell said during that time, officers heard and saw what was believed to be shots fired at them. Said this prompted the SWAT team to be called. No one was injured. Please still investigating the incident.

Officers have not stated if they have arrested anyone, at least as of the time of the reporting. Over to Winton Hills Yes Shooting to report three people have been taken to the hospital after shooting in Winton Hills Saturday night. Pleae dispatch the Dutch Colony Drive about ten pm Saturday evening, police said. Dispatchers say three people were injured in the shooting and were all taken to the hospital. No additional details available again Fox nineteen reporting on that and then

it was the Red, White and Blue Ash event. Multiple people arrested. Fortunately, Blue Ash officers sustain a burn injury happened Friday night after four hundred what are described as unaccompanied youth set off fireworks multiple times during the Mad Treat Red White and Blue Ash fourth of July event at Summit Park, causing panic intentionally, they say. Police report that an officer had burned injury to his leg, been

treated and release from the hospital, thankfully. One juvenile taken into custody in connection with the incident is facing a charge of assault on a police officer. Police did not describe other arrests that were made Friday night. Blue Police Chief Roger Pullman said, we understand this was a scary

situation for many, and we hear you. It was an unfolding situation, and our officers work quickly to apprehend the individuals involved, and we, as we do after every event, will review security protocols to ensure the safety and well being of attendees and our officers. And there's video of this going around. It's just crazy, absolutely crazy. There were thousands of people there, so you got this unruly pack of four hundred unaccompanied youth just going at each other

with fireworks, scaring that crap out of everyone there. And you know, let's face it, stating the obvious that could have resulted in some serious injuries. Eight thirty five, Right now, fifty five KRC the Talk station. Where are your children?

trying to do their best for the American veteran. We hear from Todd Sledge all the time, and today we get the benefit of having Christina Hall from the Cincinnti VIA at a call to talk with us this morning about some programs that are available for caregivers of veterans enrolled in VA healthcare. Christina, welcome, to the program. Thanks for coming on.

support their own mental health. And then we also have a comprehensive program and in that program, if the veteran qualifies, they are able to receive a financial stipend to help offset caregiving costs, and they get wellness visits and access to enhance rescite services and insurance for their caregiver if they're not all ready insured.

also can be a short term stay. And maybe our contracted nursing home, our nursing home at the VA, say, if the caregiver has a surgery or a trip that they need to go on and they're not able to have you know, full time care for their veteran, they may be eligible to access some of those services.

We've had trips out there where it's just been the caregiver, if they'd like a little bit arrested, and then we've also set up where they can bring the veteran that they care for. Is the veterans well enough to go, And that's been awesome.

I'd really love to do that. Yeah, probably has been our most popular, but we also have you know, I would say a lot of veterans in our program have dementia or parkinson or als, and so some of the more popular programming pieces are when we offer conditioned specific workshops and talks so that the caregiver can feel empowered to understand the condition, to know how to work with it within their veteran and you know, learn some tips and tools and connect with other caregivers that are taking

care of veterans that have similar issues.

way of coping with it. But yeah, you're not causing them cognitive distress by arguing with them when they have this firmly convinced, you know, belief in their mind, as crazy as it is. You just got to learn to kind of roll with it and you know, walk them

through the challenge that's presented you. So that that's something that I suppose as caregivers need to learn and it can be very frustrating, knowing what my father went through, which you know, up to his death, and it's just it's the most nefarious disease I think that's out there. So I'm glad you have a program to help caregivers

cope with that and the challenges that they face. We're going to continue with Christina and we're going to talk about some of the common conditions that veterans struggle with. Whose caregivers are enrolled with with the program and activities and events, as well as some upcoming events that we want to talk about. We'll be back right after these brief words.

are struggling with Alzheimer's. But what are the some of the more common conditions that veterans have whose caregivers are enrolled in your various programs.

vision impairment, multiple sclerosis. So a number of conditions that really pop up that those are some of the more common and the caregiver doesn't necessarily have to be a lot of times you think of the spouse as a caregiver, but we have caregivers in the program who are children, as veterrends who are siblings, some in our general program who are neighbors, are people that kind of help out the veterrend and take them to appointments and things like that.

So there's a broad definition of caregiver. It's really someone who's involved in that veteran's life and helping them be able to live independently.

But then they also talk about different devices and supports that can help, and then occupational therapy pops in to see if there's any adaptive devices or ramps, or there's grants to apply for to get improvements made to your home. So we coordinate with those programs as.

We have social hours at least once a month where folks can come and connect with other caregivers. We also have a lot of online support so if you can't leave the home. Say you don't have care for your veteran, but you really want to connect, you can join virtually or over the telephone. We have a support group every other week. We have different workshops and classes. We have an online workshop coming up at the end of July that talks about the foundations of caregiving as well as

self care and stress management. And the big event that we're working towards is in November. November is actually National Family Caregiver Months, so nationally we support caregivers throughout that month. So we're going to be having all sorts of events, like a self care fare where folks can come in and learn about aromatherapy and yoga and taichi and all that good stuff that can help them relieve their stress when they have.

Great show this morning, sad topics subject matters Ken Cober of FLP President and the violence that's going on and the problem with since a police apartment faces plus the morale man it is not Ken did not paint a pretty picture and Christopher Smithman on the same topic, and of course even people out in the Greater Cincinnati community saying, listen, where are our elected officials dealing with this violence trend?

Why are they so damned quiet about it? Why don't they, you know, express out loud direct support for the officers and try to come up with a solution to the problem that we're facing, an ever growing problem. A little disheartening to find out that the justice system may be the failure in this. And I'm not talking about the

police wing of the justice system. I'm talking about the judicial You can have a prosecutor that wants to prosecute a kid for a curfew violation, but if you have a magistrate that doesn't want to do that and chuck the case out, I guess it's a pointless gesture then even going after them in the first place. And when you have a counsel and a mayor who do not express out loud support for the police, I think we can all draw our conclusions as to how they feel

about the police. Generally speaking. Bright Bart inside scoop the Daniel Davis Deep Dive tomorrow in the fifty five Cassey Morning Show podcast.
