55KRC Monday Show - Ken Kober, Smitherman, Money Monday, Emery Golf Outing, Cincinnati VA

because he wants to get rid of virus. Rawleigh, the community activist and anti police person, been around since the days of the Collaborative Agreement getting put in place, and is employed by the City of Cincinnati. Is some sort of consultant capacity while out harassing police officers and preventing them to preventing them from doing their job. Ken Cobra seven o five on that. Actually, local reporting on that too got the allegations about the so called city consultant

iris roly harassing police officers. So we'll talk about that coming up along with Ken Cobrat seven oh five on that subject. Christopher smithment On at seven twenty, Hey, thanks a lot, I thought we were friends. Christopher smithment I find out yesterday running for since city council. I asked Joe Drecker if knew about it. He gays, yeah, knew about that. He told me last He's like, no, what news smithman's running for council? Well really, he said, yeah,

I knew about it last week. I was keeping a lid on it until he talked with someone from the Inquirer. So I figure it's common news. Apparently it is common news. Joe Drecker knew about it last week. He didn't let me know. Christopher, what's up? I thought we were friends. Seven twenty for the Smith from the former vice mayor and hopefully city councilman, Christopher Smithvin eight oh five Money Monday. It is money Monday Monday. Rather, so we do Money

Monday with Brian James Ato. Five for that. We'll talk tariffs and inflation, do you want crypto in your four oh one k and finally some interesting new benefits that companies are offering. So those are three subject topics with Brian James Ato five for that. At thirty with my friends from Emory Federal Credit Union, Todd Kine, CEO of share Facts Credit Union. Actually they've been in they got into a merger. So the name of the Emory Federal

Credit Union I believe is subject to change. We're going to ask Todd about that. But we'll also learn about the golf outing coming up very quickly, Rose Cares since Ava returns. We'll get a recap of the Voa Country Music Fight Festival, and then yes, the Veteran Appreciation Day coming up on August twenty third, and man Ton is flying Jeez Louise anyway five three seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talko with Pound five fifty on at and t phones. Someone else

who's running for since I City Council. Steve Gooden, our legal expert from the law firm Report Variety, chimes in on matters legal all the time. You're in the fifty five carsis morning show. Brilliant man he is, and an outstanding candidate for since I City Council. An alternative to the same old, same old that we've been engaged in now for what seems like forty years. Anyway, he posted on his Facebook post, I just spent some time with

West End residents who described what happened last night. This post from yesterday, so I'm assuming he's talking about Saturday night. We wouldn't know because there's been no reporting on this. He says fifty to sixty shots fired along Clark Street by the football field, hitting park cars in at least one house, showing a picture of a bullet that passed through the taped window. Said automatic gunfire. No arrests, not in any stats. And along with that he posted I

guess some stats from Thursday. Wow, lots of crime going on in downtown Cincinnati. Got an assault Walnut Street close to three pm. I don't know what other is in terms of the crime stat it's got to leave that go. Got an arrest at five point thirty Garfield Place, assault on the seventh again three pm, East Court Street, assault nine thirteenth Street, and Walnut robbery. This is all again Thursday, ten pm Central Parkway theft, twelve am Third Street, Cincinnati arrest,

ten ten am Central Avenue at McFarlane. Got an assault going on seven pm on Vine Street in CINCINNAI. Robbery Vine Street happened at one twenty eight am. Assault going on seven pm Vine Street, and finally an assault four thirty in the morning Walnut at East fifth one day, small area of City of Cincinnati too addressed by that crime anyway, don't know anything about the fifty to sixty shots fired again, Steve Gooden on that one. What else

is going on? Sincinni officials reviewing allegations from the Fraternal Order of Police. That's what Ken kober is going to be talking about, calling for Iris Rawley to be fired. They circulating an online petition which was started by Ken Cobra. Petition alleges that Iris Rawley quote has been caught on bodycam multiple times harassing police officers for just doing their jobs. As of yesterday morning, already twenty nine hundred signatures their

goal five thousand signatures. You can help out sign the petition court a petition despite clear misconduct, the city continues to fund her contract with taxpayer dollars. And it's so far. I got to interject, insofar as misconduct is concerned, if you or I interfered with an officer doing his or her job, don't you think we will be subject to

some sort of citation, maybe get arrested. Can you imagine the police interacting with Iris Raleigh, who perhaps was worthy of a citation for her interference with police doing their duty imagine it's a bit difficult for a police officer to actually consider issuing her a citation, considering her outspoken advocacy, her connection with elected officials, including the mayor's office and the city manager she's employed by them, and her outspoking

advocacy against the police department generally speaking. H Yeah, I'm sure she'd call for an investigation into you, police officer for issuing her a citation that she may have been worthy of getting anyway. On the petition, the Fraternal Order Police posted a couple of body camera videos showing Raleigh harassing cops allegedly. They also posted an appearance Raleigh made on podcasts where she quote, wasted no time berating a retire I heard Cincinnati police officer and others on the

show close quote that's on the petition website. FOP also posted the videos on the organization's Facebook page, one post claiming Raleigh is not a collaborator, instead calling her an agitator. We entered the realm of subjectivity. Uh thank you, Molly Shram the CPO for reporting Friday Rally responded to petition

and claims the harassment with statements from her attorney. Actually one of the body came ravi is she asked the man who's being asked at the time by a Sinceinn police officer to pour out his beer if he'd liked to file a complaint against the officer. Huh, right then and there while he's the officer is doing his job

or her job anyway, the attorney said. Video circulated by the FOP members and a recent called to we assign a petition have targeted Miss Rawleigh for encouraging a community member to follow follow a formal complain procedures and questioning an officer's response, which have long been part of her community centered approach to better policing in this city and are within her rights to free speech and advocacy outside

her formal service for the city. Oh, she wasn't acting in her capacity as an advisor to the city when she was doing this.

family and business. We'll join the club. Yeah, that street runs more than one way. How many conservatives out there have received hate messages and threats? A lot of them. Welcome to social media, Welcome to you know, your outspoken advocacy against the police department having some repercussions among those of us who do support law enforcement. Apparently been a consultant with the City Managers Office since twenty twenty two.

Guess she does work helping Cincinnati implement its Collaborative Agreement, which goes all the way back to the riots in two thousand and one. If I recall correctly, She was one of the organizers in bringing about the collaborative agreement. Also described as a prominent longtime organizer with the Cincinnati Black United Front. Telling the popular People's You Front Joe campaign Free Galilee Anyway. Molly shram Over at CBO described

that as a social justice collective. Enjoy your own conclusions. For her part, since they manager share a long in responsible way. A request from WCPO for a statement describe her as an essential community and civic leader in Cincinnati. Essential. Her contributions spanned from origins of the Collaborative Agreement to her commitment to problem solving resulting in support for teens

at our transit center. She consistently sets up organized steps up to organize effective strategies and raises her hand to support the community when others don't. However, in spite of her praise for Irish Rowle, a city manager, Long had this to say, anyone doing work on behalf of the city of Cincinnati must hold themselves to a higher standard. That includes not interfering with the police who are in

the act of performing their lawful duties. Can't let that go unaddressed, Sharyl Long, Canyon right, because it's the one thing in your statement that really makes sense. Don't mess around with police during their duties five sixteen fifty five KRC The Talk Station five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two to three Talk found five fifty on at and T Funds. Love to hear from you. You got something to say, feel free to call me right back.

I think you've be a welcome edition five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phone. What else is going on in the Greater CINCINNTI area? Well, the Hamilton County Associated Association of Chiefs of Police chiming in on one of the problems we've identified here in this city, which is the judicial component of the criminal

justice system. If you don't have judges willing to set appropriate bonds, put people in jail for appropriate periods of times for heinous crimes, they have committed recidivist criminals coming in and going through the revolving door of the criminal justice system. You get the best police department, fully staffed out in the world. You could have the best prosecutor's office. You whether we've got one of those, you can draw

your own conclusions. But prosecutors wanting to prosecute criminals to the fullest extent of the law end up in front of some liberal, woke judge and that's the end of the process. So that's an epic failure. As far as the Hamilton County Association of Chiefs Police, they're calling out

what they describe as gaps in the judicial process. Statement released last week August eighth, they said it's not good enough to arrest violent offenders if they're swiftly released back into our neighborhoods due to lacks bail practices or insufficient sentencing amen. They announced they will be hosting a roundtable discussion within the next month with members of the judiciary, prosecutors, elected officials, and other partners about ways to strengthen public safety.

Good Camera Knight since they inquire reporting, appreciated Cameron pointing out criticism of the judges not new before. Connie Pilich elected the Prosecutor's office. Formerly the Prosecutor's Office would post the cases and judges on Facebook, pointing out well the sentences and while highlighting judges who set bonds that they

believe were too lower lenient. Joe Dieters and Melissa Powers both did this, In other words, real time accurate reporting information so we the public could make informed decisions when we go into the ballot box in November. They don't do that anymore. Police data and going back to Steve Gooden on this post about fifty to sixty shots fired to pointed out no arrest and not in any police statistics.

So if you have an incident involving fifty to sisity sixty shots fired and it's not reported on any of the police statistics, how reliable are the police data? Is the police data anyway? Caver Knight reporting the police data shows rates as some crimes are up, others have fallen. Robberies are up nine percent year to date, three more homicides year to date, however, aggravated assault down six percent and shootings are down twenty four percent. H do you

feel safe in downtown Cincinnati? Chief? Fiji Police Chief Dji recently echoed the remarks of the Chiefs Association saying, part of the problem is, Yeah, that's the revolving door of justice. Claim your office too often put themselves at risk to get criminals off the street, to see them released with little consequence. How are we going to get the word out about judges? I mean, you can rely on the fifty five Caurasy Morning Show to the extent I have

information about who's running and who's not running. I know how difficult it is if you're not engaged in the criminal justice system to have any awareness about the leanings of the judges and whether heart or whether they're tough on crime or soft on crime. Anyway, Chiefs Association set the goal of the upcoming roundtable to review the impact of current bail reform policies promoting consistent sentencing and building transparency and public confidence in the judicial system. That's a

high mark. Let's be clear, they wrote, we will not allow the dedication and sacrifice of our law enforcement professionals to be rendered meaningless by systemic failures or the absence of shared responsibility. Well, one can only hope they can bear that their efforts can bear some fruit. If you're a woke jurist. I'm not sure pressure from law enforcement really change the hearts in or your heart and mind. It remains to be seen, but therein lies one of

the biggest challenges we face. Sounds like law enforcements stepping up. We've got some pronouncements from the mayor and the city council members in the aftermath of that June or July twenty sixth beat down. Sounds like they're promising to get tough on crime, paying lip service to the idea anyway.

They have no control over the judiciary. Honestly, neither does this group that are putting together, This group of folks that are the haven't kind of association of chief of police is putting together the harumph over this subject matter. The judges aren't willing to heed your advice and your recommendations. It's all probably an exercise and wheel spinning. Five twenty five fifty five KR see detalk station, local store where

he's coming up. Love to hear from you, though, if you got a comment, I feel free to call me right back.

a full hour of the interview right there. Fifty five kr SE dot com and information about the Karen Wellington five k great organization that one. Without further doo, let's jump over to the phones. Tom, Welcome back, my friend. It's always a pleasure hearing from you.

they happened for a while is racism. And I really think that what should happen is is that a bunch of the black community leaders should get together and acknowledge the fact, the fact Brian Thomas that racism is not going on near to the extent as they claim it is. But of course if they do that, then that means they get rid of all the fuel and all the alleged wind behind their sales of scream and bloody murder

and how bad everybody is. You know something I found interesting There was a allegedly there was a video clip that came out about that July twenty sixth feet down that you reference, and it was allegedly had somebody yelling or some people yelling the N word, and I didn't hear any more about it. I don't know if you brought this up, but obviously they could not link that whatever was being said to a white person. Therefore it

just doesn't exist anymore. I guess does it really matter if I hear anybody anybody else complain about the use of the end word, anyone from the black community complain about the use of the end word. I'm so fed up with that the black community. And of course this is not every black person, so relax if you're out every black person feels this way. But enough black people out there are fine with it, and their music, they're

fine with it when they're talking amongst themselves. But as soon as someone who's too white uses that word, apparently it's the end of the world. I don't use the word. I don't know if I've ever used it. I'm not going to. I agree it's derogatory, shouldn't be used, and I don't want to get myself in that kind of trouble. But come on, the hypocrisy is absolutely ridiculous and all that. And that's just one example of how the left uses

things to their benefit that that aren't even true. They lie just to try to get their way and push things around.

The black community owns the word. No one else is allowed it's exclusive use. I noticed that they've actually, I suppose, in some way, shape or form, sort of transformed that word from a derogatory term whites used against black people, and it's acceptable to use under certain circumstances in the black community, never acceptable in the white community. Just rather interesting social reality that one can't comment on the brawl. Don't know who used the word or even if it

was used. Here is a strange, strange local story here pedestrian dead after a crash happened on Friday night near Dayton. Pedestrian was trying to get away from a couple of dogs. According to the high State Highway Patrol troopers, they said they were called a nine thirty am for a crash on Lower Valley Pike near Cloverdale Road, Clark County. Plimentary investigation shows that Donel Sanning, who's thirty five from New Carlisle, driving her Chevy Cruise on Lower Valley Pike.

They're still investigating the crash. Jeez, dogs chase them out in the street. That's the end. Say call your mom, tell your loved ones you love them. Be sure you do that. You never know, never know when the bell's gonna toll. Five thirty five fifty five KRC DE Talk station. Stack o stupid or phone calls. We can go either way. Be right back.

sounds like eight thousand dollars. That's real money, man.

But isn't an interesting observation on the heels of Fred's comment that we're in the middle of this jerry mandering debate and that they are so convinced, are political officials they're so convinced by drawing a different line they can guarantee an outcome on whether it's going to be a

Republican or Democrat victory. I don't say they guarantee that outcome, but it's a foregone conclusion, which meaning, which means those elected officials who are busily redrawing maps are taken into account the historic reality that, in spite of Fred's comments that there is this sort of lockstep, unanimous well Democrat vote that comes from within the Black community, they know by redrawing the lines that they're going to guarantee whether it's going to be a Republican or Democrat in office.

It's frightening stuff. Would it be a wild thing if, after they get done redrawing the maps, that the public, who ultimately votes independent of mind, decides to go a different direction and deprives whichever political parties redrawing the lines of their guaranteed victory. Huh, that would be cool, wouldn't it.

It'd be cool if it was either Republican or Democrat redistricting anyway over the sack and stupid got a man in Texas accused of approaching young girls in an elementary school parking lot wearing only a diaper and pacifier around his neck. Why are you doing that? You may have an order to give out this morning, Joe. According to police report, two girls riding bikes and scooters to the neighborhood when they notice the silver vehicle following them, stopping.

When they stopped on the way home, they notice forty five year old Wesley Warrels in the vehicle the parking lot of the Andywoods Elementary School. Cord to the affidavit, World then got out, wearing only a diaper, shouted quote, Goo goo gaga, I need a diaper change. Close quote there's no flag for us. Girls rode away, quickly approaching their family home, where a man and his son were

working in the garage. Man said the girls rode up so fast they skinned their knees, claiming a scary man their words, was chasing them, so I went searching for the vehicle described while the vehicle they described while a woman in the home attempted to calm the girls, who were visibly shaking and truly terrified. According to the rest report details. Girls then told her the man had asked

the girls, will you change my diaper for me? What? Thus, Gater's labeled to identify Worl as the suspect and arrested them in his place of work. Arrested charge with criminal solicitation of a minor, criminal trespass, in addition to several other charges and accusations going all the way back to nineteen ninety nine, back when he was seen watching children in the daycare. When questioned by tyle of police back in ninety nine, he reported he was only changing his

diaper here that looney, amen Joe. Fast forward to twenty two two thousand and two, were el seen looking into apartment windows. Questioned by police, he admitted to watching small children in a daycare. Two thousand and five, arrested for

stalking his ex girlfriend, sentenced to five years probation. Also two thousand and five, caught watching a woman near a pool, given a criminal trespass warning November of that year, given a criminal trespass warning after being seen watching children from behind a tree and six six reported walking around Walmart on Broadway looking at children and women with his hands

inside his shorts. Draw your own conclusions. When questioned by police, he was said he was checking to see if he had soiled his diaper, would.

on several different dates. Walmart's manager expressed a desire to pursue criminal charges. Wow Goo go Gaga, I need a diaper change series. The biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top the Pinnacle of Doue.

same guy tried to kick another male. Somebody got in between them, tried to de escalate it, say go on, leave it alone, all right, Well this same guy went and slapped found another black guy to slap. So that's two incident that I'm hearing that this guy had calls, but yet he still haven't been arrested for assault whatever the reason question says lawyer say, you can't even talk to him, and I'm like, okay, we're going to the lawyer.

last month, so more video camera comes out. We've got grand jury indictments being handed down. Obviously they found probable cause to charge some with the crimes. Let's see if anybody else gets gets arrested or accused of criminal conduct. I'm waiting. I got my popcorn out, James. I haven't put it away, and I haven't drawn any conclusions yet, but nothing can justify criminal behavior along the lines of what we see, regardless of who gets blamed for starting

the incident or kicking off the incident. Back go to stacker stupid. This is a pretty comical one in spite of the fact that we resulted in two people dad, a man and a woman are in fact dad after a car they were believed to be having sex in fell off a cliff. Pair identified as twenty six year old Marconi da Silva Cardozo and forty two year old Adriana Mocado Raberio. We're in Vandanova do Immigrante. This is in Brazil. Happened on Monday last when they were parked

near a scenic overlook. According to the article, apparent movement from an intimate moment in their vehicles caused it to drop hundreds of feet. Cardos and Roberio headed towards the area where the ground was wet after leaving a party freezing in the car fell down a hang gliding ramp vehicle located late in the morning by local caretaker. Man and a woman found naked in the vehicle. Courting Lydia The Sun reported the police that leave the vehicle fell

around one o'clock in the morning local time. The man and the woman were thrown roughly three hundred and twenty eight feet. Bodies found the base of a rock. You're right, Joe, roughly three hundred and twenty eight does sound very specific. Pairs bodies found on the base of a rock. Vehicle parts scattered all around the nearby vegucatation corner of the press release, there were no signs of violence at the scene on the bodies and the car's handbrake was engaged.

They said. Residents reported hearing a loud noise between one thirty in the morning and two am. Because it was dark and the vegetation thick, no one saw anything at the time. It remains under investigation. The case does waiting for forensic reports. Photographs show the vehicle destroyed after a plunge several hundred feet off the cliff. One woman witness I saw the car's engine very far away and the car fell almost four hundred and fifty feet from the

accident was a shocking scene. The car was destroyed.

of Iris Rawley. Yeah, outspoken anti police activist Iris RAWLEI coming under some serious criticism and justified interfering with police officers trying to perform their duties, which I think is a citable offense. Going to ask that from FLP president directly out of the gate, like, how come she was an issue to citation if she's interfering with police officers. Legitimate question. So Ken on that topic coming up in an hour, followed by Christopher's Nope, maybe just asking out

loud if it's a good idea. I think it's a great idea. When he's got a record he can run on former Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, obviously here on the morning show, regularly, all over media, regularly with his thoughts and comments, expressing logic and reason and coming up with solutions for some of the Cincinnati's problems. So vote Smithman is what I say. Well here from Christopher at seven twenty let me at corner them on

the day. So different little birds passing along different information. I just know I was left out of the loop. Monday, Monday, Brian James, eighth five, we'll talk tariffs and inflation. We'll talk about whether or not you want crypto in your four to oh one k and finally, some interesting new benefits companies are offering that with Brian James. Fast forward

to eight thirty Emory Federal Credit Union golf founding. We'll hear from Todd Kine from Emory on that great organization, a great event helping out sint Children's Hospital Charitable Care Fund Care see Cares we do. Cincinnti VA love helping out the American veteran sincinnti VA joins us to give us a recap of the VA Country Music Fest and the upcoming August twenty third Veteran Appreciation Day. Again, feel free to call here's an interesting solution and tell me

if you think this is a good idea. Obviously, the City of Cincinnati decided it's going to start enforcing the few one of the things that comes out of the August or the July twenty sixth beatdown that happened in downtown Cincinnati, and many of my listeners recognize and I acknowledge the juveniles were not a problem. They the juveniles were not involved at least don't appear to be involved

in the beatdown. But they did nonetheless change the curfew and said that the same police will now be enforcing it to some degree. Well, that's solve the problem. How about this? Is this a good idea? Uh? We get a Gloucester township in New Jersey, They just recently enacted an ordinance holding parents accountable for lawbreaking children. Parents now facing fines up to two thousand dollars in the possibility of a ninety day term behind bars if their children are continually misbehaving.

these offenses. The town's twenty twenty four Gloucester Township Day upended when over five hundred miners were involved in a brawl spilling over to a shopping plaza. Police arrested nineteenagers, among eleven others taken into custody. Three officers were hurt in that melee. Video footy shows a group of young

people throwing objects at the front of businesses. Officials postponed the event this year because of social media posts indicating that that was going to happen again this year, So the police announced this new ordinance in a social media post. If a child is reportedly found guilty in juvenile court, their caretaker could face up the ninety days in prison and or fine of up to two thousand dollars. Ordinance takes effects immediately. One person quota, these are your children.

Had you governed them a certain way, this ordinance wouldn't be necessary. As a parent, I think it's absolutely necessary. Yeah, So is that a solution to the problem holding parents accountable?

at home? Maybe lack of a sufficient parenting I don't know, but it certainly would make parents who otherwise don't care about where their children are at night maybe start thinking about it. I don't want a two thousand dollars fine and I don't want to go to jail for up to ninety days. Yeah. Well, actions have consequences, or in action at least in New Jersey are going to have consequences.

Gloucester Township specifically five three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three dog pound five fifty on AT and T phones and also another thing you might want to chime in on, Donald Trump considering reclassifying marijuana under the Federal Drug scheduling hmmm, described as maybe reclassified as a less dangerous drug speaking with attendees at his one million dollar played fundraiser in New Jersey,

many of whom were in the weed industry. H Apparently the cannabis companies have pumped in millions of dollars into Donald Trump's political groups and political action committees of quart of it. Maybe that's the reason behind this potential moved to remove marijuana from the list of Schedule one controlled substances. Making it a Schedule three drug will make it a

lot easier to buy and sell cannabis. Also been several bills introduced by in Congress by Democrats and Republicans bipartisanship to either lower the classification of weed to a Schedule three drug or remove it completely from the list of controlled substances. They've also sought to decriminalize marijuana. Forty states so far have legalized marijuana. Twenty four states plus Washington, d C. Have also legalized recreational marijuana, as we have

done here in the state of Ohio. Now, more and more information research is coming out with the decriminalizing it in states, and we're finding out that marijuana may not be as innocuous a drug as they've painted it out to be. So you hit all the propaganda coming out about medical marijuana, medical medical medical medical marijuana. Well, we'll just legalize it for medical use. You'll need a prescription

for that. It's great for certain medical conditions, anxiety or depression or whatever, and so you legitimize it by rolling it out as a medical product, and then of course segue over to full legalization. Again. That worked quite well here in the state of Ohio. But more and more people smoking weed, the more and more we find out yew could be very dangerous, most notably to young, developing minds. This is why parents need to keep an eye on

their children and what they're getting involved with. They've learned a lot about this with alcohol use over the years. Yes, in a developing mind, alcohol is very dangerous, so pivot over to marijuana. Apparently the same thing. Psychosis can develop, among other problems. So I don't know whether decriminalizing on a federal level is an effort worth pursuing or what

the end result is going to be. I think the genies out of the bottle, as noted by the number of states who provided some form of legalization, complete decriminalization. So if the genies out of the bottle, maybe get rid of the Schedule one classification and in so doing, the one nice benefit that you and I can enjoy from that is more research will be done. The fact that it's labeled to Schedule one drug, which makes it

on the same order or degree as heroin. Yeah, that limits the amount of research you'll be done because researchers can't get acquire this readily available product to do studies on it. So more studies are definitely needed along those lines.

And maybe I'll welcome the change in schedules, if for no other reason but that one right there, Feel free to chime in five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk or pound five fifty on at and T Phonts love to hear from if you've got a comment.

and children are regularly breaking the criminal laws. And if you're made aware that your child is a recidivous lawbreaker and you do nothing to stop it from happening, you do nothing to keep them in the house after curfew rolls around, and maybe there is some possible accountability there for violating criminal law. I understand your frustration on along those lines, and the allowing of children to make these life changing decisions without any parental involvement as disturbing as hell.

But honestly, if a parent does not care if the child's out at three o'clock in the morning on a weeknight, then I doubt they probably care a wit whether their child is transitioning to a different gender. Possible, let us see what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby, Happy Monday till you. Thanks for calling.

and has so many layers and elements behind it. How do you fix that?

all positive investigating. But you gotta know who these people are.

that case, you're in front of a judge. The judge said, you're on probation. You're on probation, you keep your nose clean, you're no longer on probation. That is on your quote unquote rap sheet. That doesn't give police the authority to pick you up for just being having a rap sheet that's long. Quite often you have recidivous criminals who end up in front of a judge on multiple occasions. You're sitting there going, well, how in the hell is this

person not in jail. Well, it's because due process hasn't been worked through the system. They haven't had their day in trial, they haven't had their witnesses show up or be in front of a jury or a judge the try or fact to render a conclusion. They're not guilty at that moment in time.

This is a truly bizarre local story Clark County up by Dayton. One pedestrian dead. It had crashed your cart on Friday night. The guy was trying to run away from some dogs that were going After recording of the high State Highway Patrol, they were called nine pm nine thirty pm for a crash on a Lower Valley Pike and plumbing. An investigation shows dun El Sanning, who's thirty five from New Carlisle, driving around her twenty fourteen Chevy

Cruise on Lower Valley Pike. Jason Coperna, who was a pedestrian forty six, he was from Yonkers, New York, was walking northeast on the shoulder of the same road when the two dogs from a nearby house ran across the street and jumped onto the pedestrian. He tried to escape by running toward the road and was hit by the Chevy Cruise, taking a mercy Health and Anna and he's come to his injury, so he's no longer with us.

The dogs sustained minor injuries. The Chevy driver was not injured, but did stay at the scene of the crash, which is still being investigated. Freak accident let us see here. Driver accused of shooting multiple times in another vehicle Monday night in Claremont County intersection now facing more charges, including attempted murder. This according to the Climont County Grand Jury.

This was last Monday. Miles Phillip Pop, thirty five, indicted this past Thursday, in addition to attempted murder and Flonius assault charges, now facing a discharge of a firearm charge. Jail record show he's still held in the Clarmont County Joe on a five hundred thousand dollars cast shirty bond. That's Claremont County Joe for the Flonias assault charge, plus a quarter of a million cast last personal recognizance bonds

for the attempted murder charge. About seven forty pm Monday, deputies called the East Plain Street and Startling Road report of a person with a weapon. Deputies respond to the area immediately. Victim, according to Clemont County Sheriff's Office, said they tried to pass Pop's vehicle to create a distance when he heard three pops and felt something hit him

in the neck and face area. Office sheriff said. The victim realized the impact they felt was from shattered glass from the rear view mirror hit by an unknown object. The victim not injured, thankfully. Police later apprehend and Pop on Locust Road he admitted to firing one gun shot

from his vehicle. Search Pop's vehicle also led to a loaded gun being found in the glovebox Man five point thirty six fifty five KRC the talk station Affordable Medical Imaging heard earlier Fred Fred saved six grand by going to affordable medical imaging, and he referred his buddy, who was going to be facing what was it an eight thousand dollars image charge or something like that. He ended up getting it done for a grand. I may have the numbers wrong on it. I think the guy I

ended up saving like eight grand. That's Fred looking out for his friend. Here's me looking out for you. You got a choice when it comes to imaging, like all medical services, So don't go to the hospital imaging department. Be like Fred, Be like Jef, be like me. Go to affordable imaging services and save thousands and thousands of dollars. So, whether it's an echo cardiogram, mri, CT scanner, ultrasound or X ray, go to one of the two affordable imaging

locations and get it done for a mere fraction. Every image comes with a board certified radiologist report in the price, so rather than thirty five hundred dollars for the echo cardiogram. How about five hundred without an enhancement or eight hundred with an enhancement of affordable imaging services. Thousands of dollars can be saved. So do the right thing, save money.

the whole country is distracted. Oh yeah, and I think the previous caller my question is and Winstrip sat on his hands because it was classified and you couldn't come forward as a whistleblower. If treason is happening in the country.

of the puzzle were finally put together. That coupled with the most recent you know, document releases from the Department of Justice, so they all add up to one big damning you know, development of information, Jay, I you know, in terms of classification, how things are declassified, and what people's efforts were behind the scenes, if they were trying to get it declassified at any given time. Those are details I simply do not have, Jay, Honestly, I really don't.

stand up, be heard. If this was the Democrat party, they would have leaked it quietly to the press well and got all the documents out there, versus sitting on your hands and watch the country get destroyed with open borders and every vent and all and everything else during the Biden administration.

But right, I mean, that's what elections are all about. I mean, you're going to throw question, You're going to throw out the good for the sake of the perfect, and people quite often

asked that question out loud when it comes to political choices. Anyhow, five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three dog found five fifty on AT and T phones. Yeah, I'll just go ahead and kind of intro this because we're going to get to FLP President Ken Kober. They are calling the FOP

is for Iris Raleigh to be fired. And this what this this online petition is being circulated for LEEDG is that Raleigh has been caught on bodycam multiple times harassing police officers from doing their jobs. At least as yesterday morning, twenty nine hundred signatures their goal five thousand court of the petition. Despite clear misconduct, the city continues to fund

her contract with taxpayer dollars. They posted the body camera videos showing Raleigh alleged in what they determined its harassing cops. Also posted an appearance she made on a podcast where she quote wasted no time berating a retired Cincinni police officer and the others on the show Close quote. FOP also posted all three of the videos in the organization's Facebook page, and one post claims Raleigh is not a

collaborator but an agitator. So we showed one of the videos Raleigh asking a man who is being then interviewed by Cincinnati police officers, then telling him to pour out his spear if he wanted to file a complaint against the police officer. Right in the middle of that going on, Cheryl on city Manager defending her Her contribution span from the origins of the collaborative agreement to her commitment to problem solving resulting in support for teens in our transit center.

She consistently steps up to organize effective strategies and to raise her hand to support the community when others don't, but long did pivot over to the thing that the police officers are dressing in their online petition saying anyone doing work on behalf of the city of Cincinnati must hold themselves to a higher standard that includes not interfering with police who are in the act of performing their lawful duties. Thank you, Cheryl Long for addressing the core

of the problem here. She's part of the purvol administration, but she's out interfering with police officers in the act of performing their lawful duties. Not a good look for a city of Cincinnati that's under the microscope for its law enforcement. Some argue failures. Others argue it's perhaps an administration's problem because of it's a poor allocation of police resources, failure to acknowledge the problem we have in the city of Cincinnati, which is one of crime doing the five

d's of dodgeball. When addressing the question after the July twenty sixth beat down six fifty five, can Kober on that after the top of the UR News followed by Christopher Smithman, is he running for counsel or not? Sort of a side issue for Christopher this morning. I don't know that the end, so we'll let Christopher answer that question. Himself coming up at seven twenty. I hope you can stick around.

Morning Show. Hey, good morning, Brian, thanks for having all right. Now, if I was out in the middle of the street and I saw an officer I don't know, interacting with someone in terms of making a stop, doing their job and their official capacity as an on duty police officer, and I got in the middle of it and interfered with the police officer doing his job, would I be subject to a citation?

let it go under the circumstances. But as I've explained to the city manager, those circumstances are running out, and she should expect the next policeman she comes across and tries to do something like that, she will be arrested.

embrace this defund the police kind of strategy. And she's certainly an agitator when it comes to well filing complaints against police officers who are doing their job. Now, I guess I understand why you're trying to ask for her to be fired. Do you have any idea what role she plays now since the Collaborative Agreement has been around for now for what like almost two decades.

and that's we'll see how this all plays out. But they're furious to see that you have somebody that is supposedly a city leader that is harassing the police when they're simply trying to do their job.

of the Greater Cincinnati residents. Don't do this, because you'll see what's going to happen next time we encounter Iris involving this. I mean, this just brings it to everybody's attention as something not to do.

think she's a fantastic person. Under the circumstances, I believe she made the right decision. But Iris is going to be so lucky next time, and that's going to be on the city manager to have to deal with. You know, if they continue to do business with her, they continue to give her taxpayer dollars.

the street for fear of being called out by Iris Rawli and others of her ILK. Now, doesn't this confirm that that strategy actually work because Iris avoided getting a ticket because it was well known to the police that she was this loud activist. Yeah, I mean, I think you could certainly draw that conclusion.

it's just not going to happen. There are plenty of cops out there that we're wishing that that was them because they would have arrested.

everyone else. You know, we've seen a city hall that seems to just miss some very important facts around crime or safety in our community, brother or dealing with what's happening in Hyde Park with the development there, and it just seemed to be ignored.

our city. It is the devastating for the economics of our city, is devastating for our reputation, and the President Protend just seems to not understand it. If the mayor wanted to hold her accountable today, he could strip her of her title President Protend. He could demand that council revoke that. It doesn't make sense to me. So there are a lot of good reasons to put my name on the ballot to give the citizens of Cincinnati in

our fifty two neighborhoods an option. It's going to be up to them if they want to keep the status quo where we're heading, They're not going to vote for me. If they like a change and a voice on Council of Reason and common Sense, no matter what their political party is, they'll vote for me. Well, yes, I did pull a petition. We'll be working incredibly hard over the next nine days to get the five hundred good signatures to.

petition and take it home. Now, this is a detail that's important, Like we don't need people necessarily to fill out the whole petition. Just you come in, husband comes in, signs the petition, takes the petition home, has his wife witnesses, his wife's signature is children's signature, and then brings it back. They might get three or four signatures, but we know all those signatures are good. The key to this is validity.

It's not volume. It's getting the right people in the city who are registered to vote where their address matches the Board of Elections to sign the petition so we can turn those signatures in by the twenty Well, I appreciate the opportunity to say that and thank you Brian for that time.

you have an opportunity to help out. Let's change the direction. Let's get Christopher on the ballot and then of course do the hard work of getting him elected. Christopher, I'm really pleased with the announcement. I really really am, and I'm excited for you, and I'm think about good things maybe coming for the city of Cincinnati. We got great

options coming up this fall, great options. Just question of whether the city wakes up and decides they're not going to do the same thing over and over and over again. Another time. We'll bring Christopher back. Let's wait first, though, a word for my friends at USA Insallation. Outstanding product, always has been, always will be.

in the minority. People don't realize that the descending vote is also very important because it means that those citizens in the fifty two neighborhoods who wanted to hear a no vote got it, and it meant that somebody heard

them and was standing with them on their position. That's number one, but number two, it also forces negotiations, meaning sometimes votes are five to four, they're right there on the bubble, and that kind of pressure Brian Thomas sometimes makes the other side conceive points that are important to get the compromise. So we can't keep doing what we're doing. We can't have nine Democrats on council. A mayor that's a Democrat. They're just running the table as a group think.

And typically those types of board of directors are bad for cities. We see it in Chicago right now. Chicago is in so much economic trouble, and often it's because they've had a group think, you know. So anyway, it's an option, and I'm not gonna harp on that. I want to say, there was some type of fight in downtown Cincinnati. We've had shots fired, all kinds of things, but there was a fight that citizens are talking about between some white citizens down in downtown Cincinnati. And it

looked like white youth. And so it's important for the mainstream media to talk about it, right, don't hide that under the carpet. What happened? How are we as a city managing that. Did they arrest anybody, whether they were juveniles or they going to juvenile court? How was it a dressed It didn't look like a fair fight. It looked like somebody several young men looked like they were jumping on one or two people. But it looked like chaos, and it did look like an officer was on team

breaking it up. So that's a good thing. I mean that there was somebody there responding to it. But the point is that we want to be balanced in our coverage about what's happening in our city, and this is one of those opportunities for mainstream media to do just that.

Meaning if I were the Chair of Law and Public Safety and I had an incident like that, I would have a hearing on it. I'd ask the person, the employer who's involved, the contractor police come in and explain this, meaning this is not something that's normal and not something that should happen. So part of the problem is the council isn't functioning giving the oversight, and then it triggers the FOP to have to do the things that they're doing.

It's because city Council is not doing what they're supposed to do, which is police themselves, police the institution. That's

why they're serving as the board of directors. So again that's another reason, right, it's important to get people elected on council because let's say Stephen Gooden was a member of council, he probably would say, here's a motion, I'd like to have a hearing on the subject matter that the FOP president was just talking about, which is talking about it from the outside, but there should be somebody on council of the nine of them saying this is

a problem. We're going to have a hearing about it and have a public discussion.

of the House. The reality of it is you at the Speaker of the House, like in the connection of power in the city, saying that Hollywood was begging for what happened to her, And you don't have that resolution that you just discussed by any member of councilor of the mayor saying we're going to censure her, We're going to strip her of some committee chairmanships or a committee positions, or we're going to strip her of her president pro tem and it doesn't her title, because that then what's

happening is and you know this is her comments are playing in Europe. Yeah, this is around the world community. It's not like this is local to Cincinnati. People are discussing what she said around the world, not just the United States of America. And there's not that other voice in the void that's elected down there saying we don't agree with this, We're going to hold her accountable. The peace is we're going to hold her accountable. It's not okay just to say, hey, I don't agree with what

she said. If you have to take the next step here to say, here's how we're going to hold this elected official accountable, Brian Tard, that's missing in the system right now.

closer to the election of this November. Good Man, he is Christopher, you're talking about the situation Iris Rawley. I had FOP President Ken Coob we're on earlier, talking about petition they're circulating to have her removed from her role as a consultant getting paid by the City of Cincinnati while out there interfering with police officers. And you know

because you heard it. The point I was making with him is she is She's got a lot of swing in the Cincinnati area among residents political activists outspoken, clearly been around since the collaborative agreement, So her voice, in spite of what you or I may conclude about it, does carry a lot of weight. So I think it's important this petition because she is literally committing a crime

by interfering with the actions of police officers. This is a warning to Iris Rawley, as he indicated, to not do it anymore, or you're going to get sighted next time it happens. But it's also a warning to the rest of the residents. Because Iris are roally out there bothering and interfering with police doing their work. That's incentive to others to do the same thing. Much in the same way. Victoria Parks President pro Temps comment that those folks deserve the beatdown they got is kind of a

suggestion to other residents of the city of Cincinnati. Hey, it's okay to beat up on whitey, or at least that's kind of a conclusion you draw your take.

don't trust you or I don't trust the police. I mean, it was one of the statements something like that to the officer who was trying to cite the person on the bicycle and the person the officer was saying in a very respectful way. By the way, I'd give her an a plus in how she handled the situation.

to her. But at the end of the day, if the city manager right, if she was doing her job, she would say, look, not only don't do it, but publicly, I'm going to make sure that I send the message to the community that this was unacceptable behavior. So because that's not happening. The statement that I heard you read from the city manager was kind of like, these are the great things, yes, that the contractor does for our community, which is not dealing with the issue that the FOP

president is putting forward. So because and by the way, Brian, somebody on council, the chair of Lauren Public Safety, the vice chair of Lauren Public Safety, a member of Law and Public Safety should be engaging here with the oversight. Again, that's the part of the dysfunction that the FLP president has to come and do any of this work.

have tremendous respect for andre Ewing as an officer. I served with him on council and his work that he's doing now because he's calling out things right and wrong and he's not bathing in race and is so here on what he's saying. But having said that, the system is dysfunctional. Yet another reason I want to say, highlight this hyde Park Square deal right now. Remember hyde Park went to all of the meetings and said hey, developer,

this is not what we want. Right. I think there were two members of council who said no and seven that said yes, and so it put Hyde Park in this position where they had to go out collect signatures like I'm collecting to put my name on the ballot. They put their issue on the ballot and they're doing a referendum and they're putting pressure on the developer. If they had a functioning city council, the council would have said, look,

let's pause this for ninety days. The Planning commissioner said yes. I served on the Planning Commission for four years, and by the way, I loved the Planning Commission staff, and that is since there they know I love them. They do great work. But the Planning Commission is saying here's our recommendation. When they got to the floor of council, there should have been a majority of members saying high Park. The people that we represent are saying they have a

problem with this. We're going to put this on hold for ninety days. We're gonna sit down with the developers and we're going to negotiate the height and negotiate the issues. Because the High Park residents aren't saying they don't want it. They're saying they wanted to conform with the zoning that's in front of them. Why are you changing the rules in the middle of the game. That's the discussion, that's it.

And so my point is that it's a shame that Hyde Park had to go through what they're going through. But guess what. Let's talk about bond Hill. Bond Hill has development over there, beautiful homes that they're building, five hundred thousand dollars, homes that people have invested their money in. There was an absolute discussion that no low more low

income housing was going to go into Badhil. Guess what council put low income housing right or they're pursuing this right in the heart around these homes that are being built. And the point is, I'm not saying that people who don't have means have low value or low bad morals and blah blah blah, but it's not the agreement that they made. And most Americans still have the majority of

their wealth in their home. So why would city council take an action where they keep putting great development in other neighborhoods and then look at a middle class really solid neighborhood like bond Hill and drop bad things that the residents are saying they don't want. These are the things that alarm me.

city council. They're not listening to the fifty two neighborhoods. This connect community thing that the mayor pushed, who heard most of the fifty two neighborhoods say, we don't want this, we don't want this, we don't want this. What if they do shoved it down their throat. That's why I decided to put my name on the ballot. And we really hope, Brian, that people will come to Jim and Jack starting tomorrow sign the petition if they live in

the City of Cincinnati. Make this easy for us. Drive sign the petition, have a coffee, sit down and put my name. Get my name on the ballot. So we have a choice because early voting starts October the fourth, somewhere around there, thirty days of voting, so this is not a lot of time. By the time I get the signature, my name goes on the ballot and the fifty two neighborhoods have a choice. Do you want me

back down there to give your neighborhood a voice. You're not going to always agree with me, but what you will get is the truth, and you'll get somebody with common sense who loves the city of Cincinnati. And who would never say that Holly was begging for the beatdown that she got. I pray that I hear Holly on this show five fifty. I hope she comes in and gives you an interview.

sometimes not. But higher tariffs everyone has been saying are going to result in higher prices, which does make sense. Apparently that's starting to trickle in in terms of the numbers that are reported.

several times too. Remember there was a spike in economic activity in Q one that looked fantastic, which wasn't beat where the economy is still doing okay as we're sitting here right now. The spike in Q one had a lot to do with countries just staying ahead. Our companies rather staying ahead when these tariffs are going to kick in because everybody knew something was on the horizon, we

just didn't yet know what. Therefore, they were front loading their inventories and things they had to buy just to stay ahead of the pricing to buy themselves a little time. Well, clocks taking and we're now those resources are somewhat depleted. We kind of got to get back to where we were. So course CPI. Let's switch to today's headlines. Core CPI is projected to increase by about a three tenths of a percent in July. That's the largest gain since early

twenty twenty five. I hate when we have headlines like that that compared to some historic period that is not that long ago, right, largest gain since six months ago. Wooh yeah, it's a point, but it's the trajectory of course, so yet we are seeing this because this is coming from tariff induced price increases, household furnishings, recreational goods, those kinds of things. Headline CPI of course, Now this is

kind of ironic, brind headline. CPI may only rise by point by by about point two percent, and that is helped by lower gasoline prices. How long has it been since we looked at gas and oil as something that's keeping inflation in check?

Are we are we should we anticipate lower price gasoline into the future, Brian, You know that, though that's always tough to guess. My crystal balls as broke as everybody else is. However, we do seem to be in an environment where things are friendly, supplies are okay, We've we've got more friendly regulation towards drilling in this country.

not exactly transparent about where it's going. So we're collecting about fifty billion dollars annually, and the average tariff as we're sitting here right now is about seventeen percent on imported goods. That's the highest it's been since about the nineteen thirties, Brian. So somebody is going to have to explain where all these dollars are going, since we're bringing in more than we have in a century.

growth has not been very good for the household. So the tail in people who are buying goods and services don't have any more money to deal with a price increase, which is causing firms and maybe hold off on increasing prices, which means their profits are lower, which means their quarterly earning statements are going to be lower.

consumer has pricing power. We live pretty high on the hog in this country, so yes, when we have to, that's a good thing. But when we have to, we can and do tighten our belts. That's what we're starting to see. We're starting to see the end consumer saying, you know what, I really don't need this. I can find another solution for this problem. I don't need to

spend this much. And that means those costs are not being passed or they are being born, however, by the companies that produce those products and services, not the countries that sell us the resources.

off short in the first place, manufacturing, et cetera. If it's a hell of a lot cheaper to do it in those other countries, question whether the tariff makes that historic challenge, you know, to compete with the United States, which has all these ocean rules and these environmental rules, and it has all these labor rules, and instead of making the price of building something here more expensive, does that balance that to create a better environment here to

the extent that it's going to negate the tariff So far it would seem to on paper, yes, we are.

of plans to get these factories up and running. However, but like you mentioned, what is it cost to pay a factory worker here in the United States versus somewhere else.

talked about this before. Private equity as one of the things that they're opening up to include in four to one K program investments, along with maybe cryptocurrencies in a state of FLUXI appear to be I guess quick question up front, why can't we invest our four oh one K dollars in these things? Or haven't been able to deal with these things already? What's what's wrong with them as an investment vehicle.

the DOL has nothing to do with it. So Department of Labor historically has weighed in on retirement assets and basically decided that the companies who provide them, your employers and my employer has a fiduciary obligation to some extent to make sure that people don't you know, effectively have

enough rope to hang themselves. And so that's why over the years you've probably seen the reduction and options in your four one K. I would see people early in my career, they would bring in the list of choices they have for all their mutual funds and there'd be

like fifty of them on there.
