55KRC Thursday Show - Cory Bowman and Jay Ratliff

today with mayor. Have to have pro bowl and get some information on that here momentarily, of course it being Thursday, Slash Friday E. We hear from iHeart Media Aviation expert Jay Rattliffe eight thirty for Jay more changes at Southwest Airline. Now they're customer of size policy. Of size policy, something suggests that has to do with weight. We'll find out with Jay Ratliffe, pilot in the United Airlines refusing to fly after passengers smoke weed on the plane before departure.

Wow exercising poor judgment, that Spirit Airlines warning of an uncertain future without an influx of cash, Southwest Airlines apologizing for leaving behind two passengers who were blind, and Emirates prepares to restrict the use of power charging devices aboard their flights. Of course, he's brought up the idea there's lithium ion batteries on fire in cabins many, many times.

those lithium ion batteries are obviously everywhere. Ah plus hub delays. We always close out with hub blaze Tomorrow fifty five Caresey Morning showed Tech Fridday with Dave Hatter and the return of Sarah Herringer. Of course, Sarah's widow lost her husband in their apartment and over the Rhine because someone kicked the door and stabbed her husband to death. Stabbed

into death in their apartment. And a guy that should have been known to law enforcement for having cut off his ankle monitor since he was out with an ankle monitor, having prior previously been released from prison several months previous or prior to the stabbing. He's got a lot of people angry. Of course, that kind of kicked off more attention in downtown Cincinnati and the violence that's down there, and that was the subject matter of yesterday's press conference.

Addressing public safety concerns mayor have to have. Purval spoke to reporters at City Hall, but the city's approach to public safety, emphasizing that the city and the urban cor are safe, but pointing out the public perception is that it's not safe. Too many people perceive downtown and over the Rhine is unsafe, and that's very important, he said. True, he said, since the Simplicity implemented a plan to combat

crime in response to trends. Concerning trends as Quinnlan Bentley of the Enquiry describes it, officials have seen a stabilization in crime and in some areas a significant decrease his words, significant decrease. The numbers don't really bear that out. Now, that's all these new initiatives that he cited, saying that you know, helping deal with with crime in downtown CINCINNTI all kicked in after Sarah Herringer's loss after her husband Patrick was stabbed to death in their home and over

the rhine. But according to enquire reporting month of a month downtown Cincinnati month over month, mind you saw a twenty six percent reduction in serious violent crime and property crime. However, yearly totals, if you look at the fiscal year, yearly totals show a forty eight percent increase. So while in the most previous month we may have had a decrease, perhaps mayor have to have per of all the police department's crime initiatives have borne fruit a little bit, let's

wait and find out overall and long term. But generally speaking, compared from last year to this year, we got a forty eight percent increase in serious violent crime. So the numbers really aren't down, are they? Over the Rhine saw a four percent serious violent crime increase and property crime increase month over month. So pulling out over the line from the general downtown statistics, it's up in over the

Rhine from ninety four to ninety eight expense offenses. And then if you look at a year over year, over the Rhine saw a thirty eight percent increase in violent and property crime. So how do you reconcile those numbers with what I have to have? Pro Boll is saying out loud, the violent crime is down. I guess it just depends on which number you're looking at. But insofar as over the Rhine is concerned, there aren't numbers that support that conclusion.

during event hours evening hours. Rather that's usually when the crime occurs, so you can't argue that that's not valuable walking patrol since they please. Civil Disturbance Response Team and SWAT teams are patrolling apparently at the Bank's Fourth Street all night and in the early morning all week conducting patrols of Fountain Square and on Main Street during weekend nights,

which I would say is a positive thing. And of course the curfew is now in effect, so eleven pm curfew for miners and as well as a special extended curfew district which includes downtown and over the Rhine, which goes into effect at nine pm. So they apparently started

enforcing this or will start enforcing it tomorrow. Pointing out purvol did non law enforcement are going to be working with children to ensure they're complying with the curfew and if that doesn't work, police then have to get involved. Apparently they've been trained to ask, tell, and finally command that kids comply with the curfew. Children found breaking the curfew during weekends and be taking the Seven Hills neighborhood house in the West End. Lighthouse Youth Services for those

experiencing homelessness. So four items on the agena and I fine, I don't. You can't fault those four particular out. Can we call them improvements to the extent they weren't doing that? We have to scratch our head and wonder Wait a second. Obviously been dealing with crime for a long time. People who live down there are painfully aware of the crime. How come there weren't, for example, daily walking patrols. How

come these deployments weren't done previously? How come since we had a curfew it wasn't being enforced, So actual law enforcement can work. Oh, look, DC, it's working since the FED showed up to help the DC police, which the District Columbia's Police department chief is embracing. It was a great thing. Thank god. They've arrested, arrested more than one hundred folks in Washington, d C. In the last like

day and a half two days. So more police, more patrolling, more interaction with the population, you get the more arrests, and of course maybe the perception then with more arrests that the community is in fact safe. Look, police are

doing their job. Wonderful five three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phone Tanyo Rourco at CPO went around in interviewing folks over and Over the Rhine and spoke with one individual and then took that individual's concerns of the mayor. We'll see what the mayor had to say. Interviewing Carolyn Martinez, apparently Over the Rhine resident for twelve years, and she says crime the neighborhood

is increasing. That just drives me crazy that they act like the perception is wrong. She said, when you live here and you're seeing it happen, it's not just your perception, it's reality, Echoing the sentiments of many people who live in Over the Rhine and elsewhere in downtown Cincinnati. She describes seeing more vagrancy, public in decency, and drug dealing where she lives. She said her friends reluctant to visit her downtown. She no longer feels comfortable walking alone common fiend.

She pointed out that nearby restaurants that were once bustling are now empty. So they brought these concerns the mayor A have to have provol quote, I say, I'm sorry. I take public safety very seriously. Public safety is my responsibility.

No one else is in the city of Cincinnati, all right, the buck stops with the mayor, he went on, And it's not good enough if our residents who have lived in Over the Rhine in downtown do not feel safe, which is why we're continuing to double down on these interventions. For similarly, the interventions I just broke down this four areas to make sure that the woman you spoke to and all people both residents and tourists coming downtown see that safety and feel that safety.

sixteen fifty five KRC, the Talk Station. Feel free to call me back after these brief words.

We don't really figure that out. Then this is just going to be a patch.

that might not be correct. But crime was really really down, But that created member police interaction with members of the community. We can't arrest someone for selling loose cigarettes on the street. That might evolve into a beatdown or something, so they quit actively policing neighborhoods anymore, reducing the amount of interaction between police and the citizenry so there wouldn't be these interactions.

And then of course, if there's no police presence and they're told not to do their job effectively because it's going to be perceived to be racist, then things collapse.

this opportunity. And this is what Rush Limbaugh was so good at and I think you're also very good at this. But I think we've got to keep right now, keep keep beating that drownd to tell the folks in the inner city, is this what you wanted? Because you're absolutely right. It goes back to B. L. M and George Floyd and I having to remember it got so bad that

I remember that. Remember the Reds were like taking a knee when the when the national answer, Joey Vado was like apologizing for his white privilege and that here we are, here, we are so defund the police, rethink the police. Do we really need cops or can we just get civic what do they call them? We don't need cops. We just need people out there, you know, put there, you go, there, you go. H They ought to do a good job. Well,

how how did that work out? And this this was the result of the that grand experiment and aftab Purval and the Democrats down in Cincinnati. I'm never going to connect the dots, uh, because their funding is coming in from from George Soros and this is the this is the platform.

Notably the Civil Disturbance re Response Team in Swat patrolling down on the Banks and Fourth Street at night and in the early morning all week the curfew crackdown to get the young people off of the streets, taking them out of harm's way probably but also keeping them from getting involved in roving gangs of young people who are committing crimes. Great I mean this is those are obvious steps that are a one hundred and eighty degree turned from the whole. Defund get rid of the police, reduce

you know, police interaction with the public kind of stuff. So, while not out loud acknowledging it, I think you can see this unfold in you know, cities across this country of ours. They realize this great grand experiment has resulted in chaos and people feeling insecure in their own neighborhoods, people concerned about walking around. Why because they see it every day.

one who broke it, so we need other people. So you're you're Corey Bowman's your Christopher Smytherman and the light to come in and fix your screw up because your stupid ideas. I mean, anyone who thinks that we're gonna we're just gonna back off and we're gonna appeal to the to the better side of people, and oh they'll be fine. We'll we'll just give them stuff and they'll be just so thankful for what we give them and let them have and and give them their space. They'll

be good. No, No, they're not. I mean, people are human beings and if they have the opportunity to screw around, too big of a majority of people will do that, and you're not gonna stop them by being nice to them. You have to have a a something in place to show them that their consequences for your behavior. You're not going past this point, You're not okay doing that. That has to be there. When that got lifted for all the stupid reasons that got lifted, what of course, this

is what happened. We all saw it, and now because enough people are seeing it, they oh, well, now we got to make sure we keep our jobs. So we got to act like we're doing something. They're not doing anything. Nothing they're gonna do is gonna work because in the end they're all still liberal Democrats. So as jaysaid, don't vote Democrat.

I don't care. Everyone probably overall, wants to live in a safe neighborhood and bring about safety. Quite often you need a police presence to do it. And I can draw a parallel to this with the with with with the UH the sanctuary cities part right when the when the when the borders were wide, the hell opened and you saw all of these tens of thousands of illegal immigrants descend upon New York City, in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco. It created a problem for those very left

bleaning communities. People would come out the town halls and scream about how all the resources are being diverted to the illegal immigrant population. Would that have happened if the power to the elected officials didn't declare their area a sanctuary city.

report of a person shot. They got there, they found a woman with a gunshot wounded the back, suffering non life threatening injuries. Suspect believed to be a male driving a black vehicle. Well, we got that narrowed down, don't we. Joe, Joe, get out there. See if you can find a guide having a black car. Well, it's a vehicle, so I guess it literally could be anything, be a truck, a semi trailer, a golf cart, a guy in a vehicle.

Let us see here. One a guy's arrested in connections with that violent downtown brawl on the twenty six Now facing additional federal gun charge courted to Dominic Garassi, the US attorney for the Sunnen District, Ohio, said, Montez Merriweather, thirty four years old, indicted by a federal grand jury yesterday for illegally possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon, completely unrelated to the beatdown charge on July twenty sixth, So in resting him for the beatdown charge, they got

him on felony gun possession please searching for the gun. Searching for a gun. After a teenage boy shot in his hand happened overnight, officers showed up report of a shooting the four thousand block of Pallo Street off Rosemont Avenue in West Price Hill eight pm on Tuesday evening found a sixteen year old boy suffering from what appeared to be a self inflicted gunshot wound. Taking to Sin

Video shows Kimberly Valante Avillaz putting into a park, pulling into a parking lot, going up to her ex boyfriend's car with a paper that was on fire. Then she got back in her car left. Minutes later, white smoke started building out of the car. About six minutes go by before someone notices it. Man pulled up, got out of his truck to see what was going on before leaving to get help, and then a few minutes later a man walked out with a fire extinguisher cord to

the police. Flante Avileez mad at her boyfriend because he broke up with her, so she was getting a revenge. Apparently described as on the run for a few weeks, but finally arrested when she got back to try to work things out with her ex boyfriend.

after eating the guacamole filled taco. Two others died from contaminated sandwiches unrelated to the festival. Amid the bachulism outbreak in Italy, public health officials rated the South American Festivals headquarters and discovered approximately twenty five thousand I guess that's lira or pounds or a hell who cares a lot of right tomato paste flour that wasn't stored properly. Despite seizing portions of avocado pulp the vestival itself, officers did

not find any more contaminated guawk in their raid. They've named a guy. Businessman Gustavo Vincente, owns the kiosk where the guacamole was allegedly served. He's a suspect in Pizzali's death, his lawyers said, have been sent a deeply affected by what happened, regardless of any allegations of guilt that have yet to be proven. We maintained that all the products used were sealed, came from controlled supply chain and purchased

through large scale retailers. They were stored correctly. He claimed. There was no way to predict what happened, all right. It's also confirmed that other areas of Italy, two people confirmed dead after eating broccoli and sausage sandwiches from an Italian food truck. Botulism in both of those cases as well. I know, and you know you don't know that it's

got botulism in it. Think how much faith you put into people who prepare your food, and you know, just a reminder, my advice when you're at a restaurant is to treat the employees with kindness and respect, because if you're that guy and you get all lippy with someone who's going to be preparing your food, you may not fully appreciate the contents of the food when it's finally delivered to you. That may or may not have happened during just period of time at Burger King because he

observed a lot of other employee behavior. Joe Stecker would never engage that type of behavior to Jerk's interacting with him back in the day when he was working at Burger King, but others at the restaurant might have just heard that from a little berg. Chinese man has pleaded guilty in US District court to exporting around eight hundred and fifty protected turtles wrapped in socks and falsely labeled

as toys. According to the US Department testing that between August the twenty three and November twenty four, We kwang Lin exported Honk to Hong Kong more than two hundred parcels containing the turtles boxes packed with the turtles labeled containing plastic animal toys. Lynn primarily shipped the Eastern box turtles and three toed box turtles, both species native of the United States and prized by some pet owners some

people who like to collect turtles. Thoughties estimated that the seas turtles had a combined market value of one point four million dollars. Called the animals and caught animals were intercepted by law enforcement during one border inspections. Both species smoking in large quantities in the nineties protected by the Convention on International Trade and Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. That's a big name. There's a newsletter associated with that act Joe.

I ended up putting a wig on in shorts. Shorts, he says that we're mistaken for a thong, although you can see the video looks like a thong to me. He said, I really did dress in an inappropriate manner in an attempt to locate an address I needed in order to serve a summons. He then alleged someone secretly filmed him while hiding in the dark later attempted to extort him. M I had already told my wife I

was conducting this investigation. She just didn't know some of the details, such as the way I had gone about it.

That'll start at eight thirty with Jay Ratloff. Jay, Good morning. If you're out there, five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk go with Tom five fifty if you have an AT and T phone. Of course, started out the program talk about Mayor I have to have Provols a press conference yesterday where he was talking about what steps the measures the city has taken to deal with crime, and it all seems to have kicked off with the death of Sarah

Herringer's husband Patrick. Sarah's going to join the program tomorrow. She'll return. We had a nice long conversation last week with Sarah. I'm bringing her back tomorrow to just get her reaction. Perhaps on have to have Provolls well efforts. He claims the city's safe, and it's weird because you know, the inquiry reporting has n't quoted no, you got to you don't believe your eyes and your ears, and we have a perception that it's unsafe. But that perception is inaccurate.

Too many people perceive downtown and OTR as unsafe, and that's as very important you said. He claimed there was a significant decrease in the well in crime, but as the Quire pointed out, that the statistics don't really bear that out. Now if you just look month over month, as I mentioned last hours, twenty six reduction in serious violent crime in downtown Downtown. But however, if you look at the year over totals, there's a forty eight percent

increase in serious violent crime. So question mark, and we may be able to give them credit. Were these most recent changes to patrolling and these steps that perval and Chief Fiji or Sheryl Longer, whoever was involved in formulating these different patrolling ideas, are they responsible for the most recent month over month reduction? Now, if you got over the rhine, they saw a four percent increase in serious

violent and property crime month over month. So just looking at that one small segment of downtown, generally speaking, it's still getting worse. And of course Sarah Herringer and her late husband Patrick lived in over the Rhine when someone broke in their door, kicked their door down and stabbed him to death. Her story on that is just it's just heartbreaking. Thirty eight percent increase in over the Rhine for the year year over year, so a four percent

increase in violent crime month over month. Ay, thirty eight percent year over year. So I don't know where purvol is getting his information, but he said out loud into your face that no, it's just the perception of crime. It's not getting worse, it's getting better, so he announces.

He mentioned the roving task force dealing with quality of right life issues, the deployment of daily walking patrols increase their visibility, the civil response or civil disturbance response demon swap patrols that are going to be doing, you know, working late at night into the early morning hours, walking around in places like Fountain Square and Main Street good and of course the curfew crackdown which begins I think tomorrow. So is that what led to at least one the

general overall reduction in crime over the last month. Maybe maybe now answering some questions, and I appreciate the analysis and props to I guess it was.

Russian guy didn't get charged for the slap down. Each of the six suspects indicted on August Day facing two counts of aggravator riding, each of them two counts of aggravator rid aggravator riding, three counts of assault, three counts of folonious assault, and they had all these community activists, Cecil Thomas Damon Lynch, you know, some of the members of council complaining that there wasn't a felony indictment against the guy who issued the slap but pivoting over to

just the rioting charges. These experts, the defense attorney and pitt Meyer, in so far as former Hamilton County is chief assistant prosecutor Pete Myers concerned, he goes, you know, aggravated riding. He called it very rare and usually would not charge folks with aggravated writing because it's a vague charge, he said, because all of a sudden a fight breaks out and there's four more people involved in a disorderly conduct charge, that's one of the elements four or more people.

If while committing disorderly conduct with four or more people, you commit another crime, that's when it pivots over and is considered and defined as aggravated rioting.

there were eleven individuals charge with aggravated writing. Of those, nine had those charges dismissed or even ignored by the grand jury. Lewis said, I've never in my thirty five years had to defend anyone on aggravated rioting, So those charges may go by the wayside, but you still have felonious assault, which Pete Meyer pointed out well. Felonious assault is a lot more serious of a crime than aggravated rioting.

Fair enough, now, in so far as the slapping charge is concerned, pete Meyer said, I don't see that the person referring to the Russian white guy who slapped the black man, I don't see that the person, from what I've seen, committed a crime. Assault is causing or attempting to cause harm to another person. Felonious assault is causing or attempting to cause serious physical harm to the other person. He said, So, if I reach out and slap you, I'm not intended to harm you, and I don't harm you.

And if you look at the slap, I think someone described it the other day, is the lightest slaps ever issued by a human being, and it is pretty modest. I mean, he does lay hands on the guy's face, but you know his head didn't turn by the force of the slap. It's just, you know, he invaded the other guy's space. Pete Meyer went on, Basically, I'm taunting you, or I'm basically challenging you to a fight, and if

the fight breaks out, there's a fight going on. So I don't see that the person that did that, I think he was stupid to do it. But to me, I don't see a crime that was committed there. And again I'm not working at the County Prosecutor's office anymore, but I would not be present. I would not present that to a grand jury. I don't see it as

a crime. Well, there you have it. And in this world of soft on crime, this is the kind of elephant in the room for all those community activists who are claiming this somehow this is an expression of racism that the white guy was in charge and the black guys are all charged with felonies. Those members of the community, aren't they the ones that were running around screaming about police reform. You know, let's not prosecute people. We don't want to give young people a record. We need to

defund the police. We need to rethink the police. We need fewer involvements with the police, less interaction between the police and the citizenry, because that's where the problems tend to crop up. We don't need to prosecute these minor offenses. Again, why put someone through the criminal justice system and give them, you know.

the level of criminal activity. And don't you think they will be out screaming and yelling about this ridiculous prosecution for merely tapping another person on the face. Why are you charging that person with a felony? This is outrageous. It doesn't rise to that level. Yes, I can hear them making that argument. So, you know, going back to Mississippi, James,

cooler heads need to prevail. Yes, there's tension in the room, exacerbated by politics, and of course most notably exascer by left exacerbated by left wing politics who well thus have been echoing this refrain that the police are inherently racist and mean and cruel and vile, and that prosecutors need to, you know, take a take a step back when prosecuting crime. That's one side of the room, and on the other

side you got tough on crime folks. But in the middle you got somebody who's thoughtfully analyzing what he sees. And this is you know, former prosecutor Petemeyer and saying, listen, this isn't a crime. Regardless how you feel about the police, regardless of how you feel about the prosecutor's office, regardless of the political dynamic that's swirling around in here. In the final analysis, no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges against the Russian guy. Six sixteen. They five kre Se Detalk

neighborhoods falling apart. Which has done what It has eroded that small segment of the very loud voting block that you're referring to to an even smaller segment. People of all political stripes are pissed off that their neighborhoods are falling apart. That's why Parval is going in the opposite direction. Rather than get rid of police and take fewer of them and put few of them on the street, he is now reversing. So he's not really pandering to the

anti police voting block. He's going in the other direction. It's an acknowledgment that we need more police on the street. That's what he has done by way of reform. It's what he announced yesterday. More people on the street, more patrols.

politicians don't vote for the Democrats. They maybe be holding to that small, loud, squeaky wheel wing of their party party, which is eroding. I mean, look at the National Democratic Party statistics. Democrats in their own party have very very

very little confidence low confidence in the Democratic platform. You think, maybe, just maybe, the reason the polling numbers are so low among Democrats and their perception of their own party is because they embrace something stupid like getting rid of law enforcement, causing neighborhoods to deteriorate. Maybe because they embrace sanctuary city policies which cause neighborhoods to fall apart in deteriorate. Yeah, something tells me that's why they're polling so low within

their own party. They embrace stupid boys can't be girls. Boys can't be girls. Sorry, that's just the dumb policy.

They're both They both deal with personal freedom and personal ingenuity and human energy and when it's to put to use. But now, when Barack Obama became president, teammate politics personal and the Democrats take

it personally and make it personal. And the big point I wanted to make is when Donald Trump was elected president in twenty sixteen, for the next four years, he had to deal with people trying to sty me what he wanted to do, and then the Democrats stole the election. If they had not stolen it and Trump had been re elected, he still would have been stymied for the next four years.

of religion, this is why Marxist hate religion. See, the left wing wants to replace your religious philosophies. This idea that you have free will you have the ability to be a decent person or not, and a substitute the Christian morality, the Judeo Christian work ethic with government, rules, regulations, and ethics. Government is the highest power on the world. It has more power. There is no God. It is

Federal officials alleged that she stole smaller amounts of money totally more than fifteen thousand dollars from three other elderly or infirm veterans. Used to stolen money to fund shopping trips and travel to New Orleans, Montego Bay, Cancun, London, Panama, Zurich, Vienna, and Maldi's misapprobraty funds is as a fiduciary making false statements or federal crimes, each punishable by up to five

on the ranks. And that's what's going on in DC. So Donald Trump orders a national garden. Got people pulling their hair out over the whole thing. Ask the police chief in DC what he thinks or she thinks. Metron Police Chief Pamela Smith happy to have them, said. The extra patrols from the FBI, the DEA, Homeland Security Department, FBI, what whoever National Guard have helped authorities arrest criminals would otherwise remain loose. Remember she said, you're talking about five

hundred additional personnel in the district of Columbia. As you know, we've talked about this, the fact that we are down in numbers with our police officer and so this enhanced presence clearly is going to impact us in a positive way.

folks of course in the country illegally. Now among the folks patrolling around Tuesday, seven hundred and fifty were the actual police department thirty National Guard troops that they say about eight hundred are expected to be deployed as of yesterday, so significantly increase in the numbers. They're also going to patrol all day rather than just after dark. Pivoting over to Merrill. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Democrat, referring to the takeover

as she recalled it unsettling and unprecedented. However, acknowledging reality Bowser quote to the extent that you see the federal surge getting more arrests, taking more guns, Metropolitan Police Department officers would would emphasizing, would do the same thing. We need to be very very focused on how we recruit retain officers, how we make sure our policy environment promotes accountability for people who use guns in our city, and those things combined will make our city safe. More police,

more police. The solution is more. Now, how can a parallel be drawn with us in the city of Cincinnati, Mayor, I have to have purple embracing the idea of the high State Highway Patrol coming in and patrolling the roads and issuing speeding citations and traffic citations, freeing up police officers to get on the street so they can help with law enforcement.

need more police. Crazy, isn't it. See they're now doing what we all want once head the whole time, moving away from that left wing, get rid of the police narrative, recognizing its failure, and moving back without saying we were wrong to pretty much through their actions acknowledging that they were wrong. Larry, hang on, I promise I will get your call right out of the gatu's right now, six forty five at a time Colin Electric. I want to

recommends Colin Electric. You know, apparently we've got new code in place as the last spring. Yes, more regulations and according to Andrew Culin and the good people of Coling Electric, this is resulting in a huge increase in the cost of a service upgrade. So avoid that huge increase in cost. Save twenty percent on the power up your home sale from Colin Electrics. Great savings on service upgrades. You can

do it by the end of the month. You have to act before the end of the month to get this special twenty percent off.

out there. They are not the lockstep, same thing you've done over and over again over the years. Let's try that path. Corey Bowmen's going to be joining the program coming up in the next hour at seven thirty.

DC on Sunday. Metro Transit police that they're patrolling the US the U Street area part of the Trump administration's initiative to crack down on crime when a man later identified as Sean Charles Dunn shouted obscenities at the Customs and Border Patrol agent standing inches from his face and of course, calling him a fascist. Moments later, Place said Done returned, wound up and of course this is on, and forcefully threw a sandwich at the agent, hitting him

in the chest. He then ran away, being chased by federal officers, says Witnesses could be heard giggling is Done and ran away from the cops. Watch the video yourself. Of course, this went viral. After being arrested and taken down to the police stession, Done allegedly told another officer, I did it. I threw a sandwich. Charged with felony assault on a law enforcement officer. He it's attorney for the DC area, Jean Piro, when I asked about this

incident on social media, quote he thought it was funny. Well, he doesn't think it's funny today because we charged him with a felony assault on a police officer, and we're going back to the police. We're going to back the police to the hill. So there, stick your subway sandwich. Somewhere else and props props to Fox Is for this comment. Subway did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests

for comments. It's Subway's gonna have a position because it's sandwich was used in a filonious assault on a police officer. We live in a crazy world. We got some crazy to talk about. After the top of the hour news leading up to seven point thirty, Corey Bowman returns to the studio. We'll get an hour with Corey on his campaign, how he would approach violence in the city of Cincinnati, among other things. That's coming up to the bottom of the next hour. And I sure hope you can stick around from.

H next where we've got a lot of topics. Score with Jay This Morning five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight hundred and eighty two three Talk Tom five fifty on AT and T phone before I jump over

to Jay's call. Real quick reminder fifty five KRC dot com podcast and you can't listen Live Great Day Yesterday with Judge Annitapolitano, Congressman Thomas Massey, Uh Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity on Shared Brown running for Senate, and of course the Big Picture with Jack add that I love here from Jack. Anytime you can't listen, I really encourage you to go to fifty five care Sea dot com and listen to his brilliance. Let's go to

the phones, Jay, thank you for calling this morning. Welcome to the Morning Show. Are you I'm doing well?

fifteen years ago and now. And I'm seeing a lot of the same policies that Ted Wheeler in Portland rolled out and the same attitude from AFT have purvol scares me. We have a great, vibrant downtown. My girlfriend lives in Clifton. I'm down there four or five days a week. We go downtown on OTR on a regular basis. But if he doesn't get his arms around this, and that stupid city council doesn't get their heads out of there, but it's going to turn into another Portlander Seattle. It's scary.

It's there's no reason for it. They're they're catering to the defund the police folks and ignoring the other three quarters of us.

patrols and more police and different times of patrols. Like, for example, he pointed out that this civil Disturbance Response Team and SWAT team are going to conatrolling the bank's fourth Street both day in the night and early morning. Now we didn't have that going on when the riot happened. You know, there was no police officers in District three at all. So maybe this will be a greater police presence.

But you note all of the four or five different things that he is he pointed out, have happened, most notably since Sarah Heringer had her husband killed and stabbed to death and over the rhine.

year it's up a lot. But he's not leaning on that, you know, the police of the problem kind of crutch like Iris Rawley has been doing now since what two

thousand and one. So I understand your conclusions about mayor have to have par ball and given his record, of course, it's an easy thing to say about him, but it does appear that he might have gotten the message and that to embrace police and to increase the police numbers, to hire more lateral police, we'll restore our contingent of police officers so we can have more patrols, more law enforcement present. Was he clearly has indicated he thinks will work right.

he's just a disaster. And then people are seeing it, so he either has to do a legitimate turnaround or the city's going to fall into the same state as Portland, Seattle in New York.

back over question is it still out there? And according to Todd Zenzer's analysis, he doesn't even really think it exists anymore. There's a Todd had to say, thank you Todd for writing it. For twenty years, the Cincinni police were the tip of the spear for the Collaborative Agreement, a landmark pack that addresses issues of police, community relations and racial profiling in the city. But since twenty twenty two, the city manager and a hand picked consultant seemed to

be in charge. Complaints to fuel the perception that the consultant, Iris Rawley, exercises an oversized influence over police matters. This is the same Iris Rawlli you can see on videotape interfering with police officers doing their job. The city made three attempts between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty to hire

and retain a professional Collaborative Agreement sustainability manager. When a third manager left sometime after July nineteen, the city ultimately decided to hire Iris Rawley, who was a member of the original management advisory group under the Collaborative Agreement. Position is called the ready initial cap Collaborative Agreement Sustainability Initiatives consultant. We have one of those. That person is Iris Rawley.

The consultant's original six month contract has been extended was described by the interim manager in a memo data February fifteenth, twenty twenty two. One of the five deliverables was to quote provide advice regarding and facilitate community engagement with respect to the hiring of a new police chief as requested

by the city. Close quote now Todd observed if a consultant is qualified to provide advice on hiring a police chief, presumably they are also qualified to provide advice on firing a police chief or perhaps other police managers, or even a street cop. Most people would agree that a consultant with such a portfolio and ongoing access to the city's leadership is in a position to exercise undue influence over

police matters, including personnel. For example, footage from body worn cameras is circulating on social media showing Iris Rally inserting herself in police matters. In one, she's seen interfering with a police officer who is calmly seeking compliance from a citizen concerning the law against open containers. Raleigh is heard saying that she has a list of police officers and if the citizen needs to file a complaint. If he needs the file a complaint, if he wants to get

that matter a particular officer on her list. That sounds ominous and far from collaborative. Iris Rawley's conduct is a big indication that the collaborativegreement has been hollowed out and there is more evidence of the collaborative's erosion the most this is crazy. The most recent entry on the city manager's website about the Management Advisory Group dated twenty twenty one. The collaborative timeline on the police website last updated February

twenty twenty. In the list of police contacts on the City Police Department's website, the contact for collaborative policing is one of six positions out of a listing of sixty six with no contact named. That makes it look like no one is a sign of those responsibilities. Together, these things make it appear the collaborative agreement is dead. Violence reduction programs born from the collaborative have also quote evolved

close quote. The Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence CIRV, for example, has gone by the wayside. In a report dated February last year, the city manager told local WCPO news that the initiative had evolved. Indeed, the city announced the reimagining of CIARV. Six months earlier, on July thirtieth, twenty twenty three, thealy CPO described the CIRV as the primary violence reduction program in the city between twenty seven and twenty fifteen.

The videos of Raleigh are evidence that the city manager has a toxic situation on her hands. Is probably one of the leading factors affecting employee morale, and represents a serious organizational risk on other levels as well. Whether Raleigh stays or goes, the city should reach out to someone like Saul Green, who served as the Collaboratives court appointed monitor.

An independent and credible my emphasis not Todd's authority on law enforcement management is urgently needed to make an assessment and advise the mayor and city Council on possible solutions to this toxic situation and its aftermath. Todd Zenzer, Citizen Watchdog, excellent point, Todd, and you can help help out sincypolice dot com. Look, go to the website, sign a petition, but we can get them over the top. Five thousand is what they're looking for, and we are awfully close.

This morning, seven sixteen fifty five KIRCD talk station stick around Corey Boman coming up bottom of the hour. First call us insulation. Yeah, right now, if you pay for the U phone and the exterior walls, the highest R value phone on the market, USA's phones going in all kinds of walls all over. Why because you're under insulated. Uninsulated.

I'm talking to Steve the other day in terms of under insulated, he said, thirty percent of the insulation jobs that are doing are for homes that are newer, like built within the last eight years. Your home may have insufficient insulation. Add the phone to the low R value of fiberglass you have right now and improve that comfort, and of course your energy bill will drop. So uninsulated, under insulated. A free inspection and quote will reveal whether you need it or not. You go ahead and do it.

It's only ninety nine bucks a month interest free. You pay for that, they will insulate your attic for free and that special last up until the end of this month. So act now, call for the free quote inspection before the end of the month, and you're eligible for that free attic insulation.

So Sander, let me know about that. I hope. So ah, real quick, Here wonderful news. And you know, I guess Trump's tariffs are working. This is what he promised. And just you may have heard at the top of the UR news ge G Appliances investing three billion dollars expanding and modernizing against US factories is going to take place over the next five years. It's a China based company.

So the money's going to go factories in South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, along with the four hundred and ninety million dollar expansion in the washing machine factory that they had previously announced. It's in Louisville, Kentucky. That's part of the three billion total job creation. Absolutely one thousand jobs. Why tariffs? Their chief executive and appliance guide in Kevin Nolan quote, I think it's become obvious with tariffs that building in

the US is a good thing. Right now, Hm, that's exactly what Trump promise would happen. And it's not the only company that's done this. There's been a whole bunch of announcements from variety of companies around the world that are moving with jobs here. Another question. I know that crazy Zoron Mom Donnie guy that's leading the race for mayor of the City of New York, wants to build well state or city run grocery stores. A laughable concept

considering it's happened before and it never works. Most recent illustration, the city owned Missouri grocery store has closed. They couldn't keep the shelves stocked. They were describing it as insurmountable challenges for this grocery store to stay open. Yeah, there's something about a profit in centerve that actually makes something work. But I'm wondering amid all these cries you have about food deserts. You know, our community is struggling. We don't

have a grocery store here. And quite often the grocery stores pull the plug when they get ripped off. So many times they can't manage a profit. Profit is key to keeping something open. And when you're dealing with single digit profit margins and grocery stores do, it's one of the lowest profit margin businesses out there. You think of all the waste in addition to the theft, but there's a lot of waste, like the produce and meats and

fish and everything. They're constantly you know, swapping out inventory and having to take losses for that.

than one thousand US cities. They cite, you know, Raleigh, North Carolina, Tampa, Florida, Milwaukee, just amongst some random locations, and they say they're going to plan to reach at least twenty three hundred locations by the end of the year. Now does it come at a cost? Yes, Prime members on orders over twenty five free two dollars and ninety nine cent fee for a Prime member. If you don't make it to twenty five bucks, if you don't have a Prime membership, at a twelve dollars ninety nine cent

fee for the service. Now that is the insurmountable hurdle for maybe some families that are struggling on a budget. But I'm thinking this is something that could be resolved down the road. If Amazon wants to be charitable, perhaps maybe as part of their charitable work, they could provide free delivery for folks who are truly on life's margins.

Let's say, if you qualify for SNAP program or other welfare benefits, you can provide information Amazon that you are in the lower income echelons and therefore are worthy of having that fee waved. I could see that happening. You can't make it obligate. You can't obligate Amazon to do that, But it is possible, Ergos, someone could have delivery of groceries in their neighborhood. That would mean no more food deserts.

I don't have to get into a car and travel five miles six miles however long a distance to get to the place where the food is sold. It would also avoid theft because you'd have to pay up front for the groceries that are being delivered, assuring that Amazon gets to make its profit even if it's waving a delivery fee. So possible future in dealing with food deserts

sounds me like it, at least it's an idea. Seven twenty five Corey Bowman in the studio after the this free break and first word for Rhino Shield RhI n O Rhino shield kwide dot com.

one wants but was given anyway. Stealing from disabled American veterans, elderly disabled American veterans, this is just beyond the pale ishwan Zia Rivers, forty six, arrested yesterday in Louisville, Kentucky. According to the United States Attorney Dominica Gerresi, the second stole more than one hundred and thirty thousand dollars from one elderly dying veteran who was living at the VA

Hospital here in Cincinnati. Accused of misappropriating the victims money at least forty five times between June of twenty one and November of twenty twenty two. Also alleged she stole smaller amounts of money totally more than fifteen thousand dollars from three other elderly or infirm veterans. She used to stolen money for shopping trips and travel. She went to New Orleans, Montego Bay, Cancun, London, Panama, Zurich, among others.

Being a fiduciary, misappropriating funds, making false statements federal crimes, each punishable buy up to five years in prison. Enjoy your prison time. Who could steal from a disabled, elderly veteran? Oh, she could HIV positive man indicted in sexual assault cases.

Detectives feared that there could be other victims. May First, Coleraine Township Police said they got to report that a thirty four year old Troy Taylor had engaged in sexual activity he is HIV positive and didn't let the victim know. After being assigned to detectives that case, police said Taylor was arrested July fourteenth for flonious assault. They learned Taylor

had committed similar offenses against other victims. According to legal analyst Mark Crumbine, speaking with Fox News Local Fox nineteen, typically they charge a person who has taken the test and knows for sure that they are HIV positive. I'm not suggesting that this person knew that, but the Coloring police must think that he did, or must have believed that.

They have some evidence that shows he did. Yet knowingly having sex with someone when you know you have HIV, that is a crime, Croumbine said, the case are rare and there is one possible motive. We have seen in the past as number of people once they find out they have some crazy idea that they want to infect as many people as they can, they don't care anymore. Man, there's some terrible people in this world. Man arrested after stabbing a person during a home break in before running

away fleeing the scene. This happened on Monday. According to again Coloring Township Police, Christian Taylor, thirty eight, taken into custody charge with the aggravator Burgerlar Flonius as sault after officers for dispatch six a m to the thirty one hundred block of Elkorn Drive. Upon arrival, officers found two victims, one had stab wounds in the head and the other who was unharmed. One of the victims identified Taylor as a suspect, explaining he had entered their home and attacked

them while they were sleeping. First responders took the wounded person to you See Medical Center treated for non life threatening injuries. He had fled the scene before police showed up, but was low hated shortly thereafter. Investigations ongoing and anybody with information should contact the Corean Township Police Department. Police searching for the gun missing gun this after a teenage

a couple of weeks or a couple of months. And when that happened, they were like yes.

homeless encampments there. There's you know, obviously the issues that are happening in that area, but also especially during Bengals games when it's extremely full, but a lot lot of people park in the Queen's Gate area to avoid parking rates that are a mile away in the stadiums, and so when up happenings that even during the Reds games, people will park in certain areas of Queen's Gate and they'll ride scooters over, they'll walk over because it's only

a mile and a half away. When the middle of the I believe it was the fifth inning, I'm looking down at my phone monitoring all the scanners and everything, and we see that there was a drive by shooting. This woman gets shot in the back, and I just can't believe that this happening in the middle of the Reds game. Thousands of people downtown for this and we're a mile and a half away, and this is happening.

So crime huge issue, may have to have. Pulwall says the city is safe despite the perception, and he claimed yesterday that the crime was actually down, which I found, Well, he can say it all day long, but he may be living in a state of denial this since an inquiry reported that actually the crime is up. They point out if you just look at the month to month data that there was a in downtown collectively twenty six

percent reduction serious violent crime. But if you look at it year to year, we are up forty eight percent over last year in violent crime.

about how, yeah, their perception is their reality. You know, how they view the world, that's their reality. You have to take that in consideration. But there's never a point where a child or a teenager would come in with a black eye and say that their dad beat them and I would look at them say, well, your perception is your reality. No, your reality is your reality. That actually happened that actually degrades the experience that that person had.

Whenever you say, oh, it's only your perception that seems that it's unsafe, No, it was the fact that a woman got shot in the back last night a mile away from the stadiums. That's what's happening in our city, and it's not about perception anymore. It's about this is a reality that people downtown are fed up with bullets. Tell that to the person that's on Clark Street in John Street that's right by my church, where sixty five to seventy five bullets came going down Clark Street one

night on Friday night. And then recently, Yeah, so we had an outreach that was happening at the stadium that night where over seven hundred individuals were there. Six hours later, there were sixty five seventy five bullets that were coming from the very end of Lynn Street all the way down Clark Street to John Street. And that was happening to where these are people that it's not just the

bad areas, it's not just this. These are people that own homes or town homes here that they're fed up with what's going on in our city.

They got the care itself that needs to be paid for. You're helping those people out by playing golf at four Bridges Country Club this Monday, August eighteenth.

Hill potential voters because of the property issue. And of course we have this raging issue crime which has brought a lot of national attention, you know, actually international attention.

If you look at what the vice mayor or the pro tem councilwoman the third line from the mayor spot saying that in this beatdown, that they deserved the beat down, that somehow, I mean, even ignoring the Russian guys, somehow anybody could justify Holly getting punched in the face and knocked out for what appears to be merely rendering aid to someone in distress is inexcusable, and no, she did not deserve that, but that actually made global news. Corey, this is not the type of attention we want in

the city of Cincinnati. And going back to Pervol's comments yesterday, all it's safe despite the perception, Well that perception is now a national, if not global phenomenon. Corey, you get a lot of national attention too.

people that could vote for us. This to me is not a political game of trying to necessarily even though we are trying to get votes because we believe we're the best candidate for mayor, but these are city issues that should be important to everybody. They shouldn't be red or blue issues. It's hey, we need clean streets, we need safe streets, we need prosperous streets. But then also you need council members that look at the voices of

the people and consider that on a consistent basis. Not just get a blank check whenever you get voted in to do whatever you want, but say no, this is a vote of confidence that I'm going to continue to listen to the voices of the residents. And that's what we're running for now. When we talk about national intention, the national intention is getting there because people care about our cities. You know, I was born in Hamilton, Ohio. There's a Joe Nuxall Way that's actually in Hamilton, Ohio.

People in Hamilton, Ohio, Fairfield and surrounding areas they feel that Cincinnati is their home as well. They come down here for concerts, that come down here for the web and fireworks that's happening at the end of the month. They love this city just as much as anybody else. And so I think that there's a lot of people that nationally care about our downtown cities. But then globally, you mentioned globally, what's happening is that you know, America's has to lead the way in so many things in

our world. We have to be that light of hope for many nations. And when nations are watching America right now, they see a trend that our downtown areas are being riddled with crime, decaying infrastructure, and something needs to happen.

But this needs to happen on our local levels. This cannot just be a point to where other people have to feel like they take the responsibility for it, even though that is what's happen and it's needed, like what we see in d C. But the reality of it is that our local government is failing its people and that's why this is happening. That's why we need strong leadership.

inspired concept, you need police officers. I mean that's what everyone is coming to the realization you're the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department in DC is saying, thank god, these guys are here now, thank you for the federal government steppinggin. We're down hundreds and hundreds of police officers.

they serve. I used to watch I watch these, you know, sports movies where all these guys would be in like let's say, a barbershop or a diner talking about the high school football team, right, and always in the corner there was a cop, right, And he wasn't there for protections because he was a part of the community, right. And that's what we need to get back to, is that these cops. I have a coffee shop in the

West End. Once the cops knew that they were welcome in my shop, they wanted to be there, not for protection, but they want to be there to be a part of the community, to talk with people. And that's what we've got to restore in our city. But the three to one ones the arcs, the ACT for Cincy programs, all these things are dividing the cops from the communities they serve.

or put that much emphasis on. We've got to get back to the basis of a proper police force doing its job is really what's needed, not stacking on top of it. Let's stack drones, Let's stack a roving task force.

we've got a possibility here. A lot of folks are upset, and of you, the mayor, have to have pro Ball's response to the epidemic we've got going on, I'll call it epidemic. The problem with crime, perceived or real seems to be a shift back over to more policing along lines what we were talking about before. We need police on the streets, we don't need, you know, a sort of side campaigns and you know, fluffy projects that we don't know whether are even born any fruit. I think

that's one of the other problems. The corollary of this is, yes, we've got this program that's using up some of the resources that we could put toward lateral hires in the police or policing generally speaking, But is what that program is doing actually doing any good? Is it reducing violence? And if you look at the statistics alone, one might conclude that, well, maybe not, it's not and that the answer is more police on the street, which without saying

the other programs don't work. Provol's efforts, at least in response to recent crime developments, is to engage in more policing efforts. Now, I guess in terms of where you would go in direction of crime fighting. Corey, you said we need a full contingent of police officers. That requires some more money. Clearly, we're gonna have to start training more police officers. That's a longer term proposition. Lateral hires are a great thing. How many of them are there?

Can we hire people away laterally? That remains to be seen. I suppose that's in the works right now. But I guess my recommendation to people in the city, you know, choose a different path. We've got an administrative state kind of like the swamp that's built up over the last twenty thirty years with Democrats in control, and they've got a really entrenched group of folks within the City of Cincinnati and behind the scenes.

in the city administratively. This is something that has to be looked at in our city because, I mean, everybody wants to focus on the video of the brawl, everybody wants to focus on the crime, everybody wants to focus on these you know, safe Hyde Park Square. But what this boils down to is that administratively, this city is not being run properly. And if there was any corporation that was being run like this, the CEO would be

fired exactly. And so this has nothing to do. I'm sure maybe she's a nice lady, but for me, I'm looking at from the logistics standpoint of a CEO position with the city state that we're seeing right now needs to be removed and needs to be rethought about. So the city manager city manager's office that gets appointed by the mayor or at least the city manager does, and then through that city manager is able to appoint a strong chief and a bunch of other positions as well.

There's probably about thirty board members, committee members, all these different things that happen, and then the mayor also appoints I mean, obviously this is a process with the approval of council and everything, but you also appoint the vice mayor as well, So with one election we can actually restore common sense into city Hall. And there's find people that work within the city, but a lot of those people actually reach out to me and say, hey, we

need you know, change from the top down. This is not being run properly. And so I'm trying to tell people, yes, the hot topic is crime right now.

actually basing this off of old numbers. We need to look at what's happening crime wise in our city. We need to look at what's happening on a daily basis. We need to re look at what is the actual number of policing that needs to happen in our city.

whatever that might be. But people aren't coming to Cincinnati right now. Whether you want to say because of the perception not the reality of it is that our city is not ready from a capacity standpoint in infrastructure, and it's not ready from a crime perspective when it comes to safety on our streets to be able to take on these events.

from college, works downtown. I fear for their life. And those are valid fears. That isn't just like, oh, these are the suburbanites that are just out there and they don't really know what's going on. No, these are real fears that these parents or family members have and we need to change that in our city.

contact information. I reached out to him the day after this article happened, and he was shocked on the phone. He said, you're calling me right now, and I said, yeah, I want to know what's happening. Why is it that you left? Obviously I want to try to convince him to come back, But then at the same time, there's real issues of why he left. And he said, I've got a business that have been operating for years the city.

I've got thirty two employees and this went out and I've actually made complaints to the city, and not one person from city Hall has reached out to me when it comes to my business moving out of this city. And I'm just sitting there realizing these people don't give a darn about any of these businesses, leaving about the safety of these this goal that's in Cincinnati, of our small businesses, of even the industry that could come to Cincinnati,

or the potential that we have, they don't care. And so that's what is ended up happening, is that these people just say, Hey, if you're going to ignore me, if you're not going to respond to my complaints, then I'm out of here.

on your page. As much as we love your show, I must spank you like a rebellious toddler for telling the world that I was a guy yesterday morning. I'm the nicest, sweetest, both thoughtful and caring, yet ruthlessly savage

and feral female you've never known. Consider buying me a no phone is mine caught on fire yesterday when literally hundreds of people either called or email texted or messaged me at almost the same time after your little blunder, Thank goodness, my homies at the CFD put the fire in my pocket out before it was I was engulfed in flames have a lovely day until my future mayor Corey Bowman, I said to have a fantastic show with you today at seven thirty. Thank you at apologies signal

ninety nine. Although you should follow her on Facebook. That's great, that is great. Appreciate Eric you forwarding that on to me. No, I had not seen that, Corey Bowman. Let's move over. We got an election coming up November. You have a choice. You have Corey Bowman as an option for mayor. Good choice.

But what was your reaction to Christopher Smith and throwing his hat in the ring And by the way, Jim and Jackson on the River opens at eleven, get over there and sign the petition to get Christopher on the ballot.

not just how politics operates. And that was refreshing to me because a lot of people surrounded me at the beginning. They're trying to make me this candidate, but they weren't really knowing how the city government works and what the city really needs. And so this is a man that truly cares about the city. And yeah, I can't stress that enough. If anybody is in the I don't care you know where you are in the city, I don't care if you're on the very east of the East. You

need to get to Jim and Jackson. You need to sign that petition during their operating hours to get Christopher smithm in on the ballot for city council. And I believe he did an event with also Steve Gooden the other night as well.

you're not voting Republican. You know, you're voting for quality candidates.

and when it comes to safety. And I've said it from the very beginning that this is going to be on city issues, common sense issues, clean streets, safe streets, prosperous streets, and that's what we need to run on. We have amazing candidates. So you have Linda Matthews that's running as a Republican for city council. She's an amazing woman. She's got experience in not only politics but in government as well, and she'll be able to bring amazing things

to the table. And then just these aren't necessarily official endorsements you know, because I know how all that works. We want to wait for all the names to come in. But I am calling a common sense ticket. And if there's anybody that has common sense, it's Christopher Smitherman. When it comes to the actual knowledge of how the city operates.

You've got great names like Steve Gooden that's running from the Charter right, like you said, which has a long history in Cincinnati, and that history is based on city issues and common sense, not diving into national politics. Well, then you have other names like Gary Favors, you have Brandon Nixon, you have other people Kevin Farmer who you've had on your show. And like I said, these aren't necessarily endorsements. This is me encouraging people do your research.

You have one on one conversations with these people, because I promise you they will have those conversations with you. They will let you know their policies, and then you can actually go to the polls knowing that you are not just voting for a political ticket. You're not voting for a political party. You're voting for common sense to come back to city Hall.

request a refund. Well, now they've kind of trimmed that back, saying, well, we used to pre board you, We're not going to do that. Now you're gonna have to wait at the gate to see if the flight's going to be filled. Then you've got less than ninety days after the travel date to request the refund, which used to be considerably

longer than that. So Southwest Airlines is slowly shifting to where the policies for other airlines, and they're going to continue this progression, I believe, until they're back to the point where if you need two seats, you're gonna have to pay for two seats. So it's gonna be interesting to see as we progress how fast it'll take Southwest

to get there. But look, charging for check luggage, assigned to seats, premium seating, all of these things are you know, putting Southwest in line with how other carriers do things. And this, this, you know, customer of size policy is going to be something that's just going to continue to be the case.

So you know, sorry they.

I'm totally okay with. And during the holidays they overbook less because they most people are going to show up. But I've had to have those conversations with passengers explaining to them that because of their size, they would be more comfortable in a seat that would be best accommodate them. Mean, I would always say, you know, your big bone structure

is such that these seats are getting smaller, smaller. It's difficult for anybody to be comfortable on and you know, sadly, you know it's going to require you purchasing two seats just so that you have enough enough room, and we'll do everything we can to accommodate you. But a lot of people don't want to spend that extra money. Some people feel like you should not penalize me because of

my size by charging me double. And I've had those conversations where people say, you know, you're being discriminatory because of my size, and sadly, no, it's a saint issue. We can't put you in one seat, it's going to take two. And yes, we have to keep the other customers in mind as we make these policies. It's a very delicate conversation obviously that you're having, but they have to be made. And you're not telling anybody this person

anything they don't know already. So you know, some people are just trying to get out of paying for that second seat, and they'll say anything they can to try to get away with it.

to happen. But that's the avenue they try to take. That exit ram is not going to work.

where everywhere, including into the cockpit. So the pilot comes on board and says, look, we had somebody smoking at marijuana in the ford lavatory, and we're not going to be flying this flight, because he said, I've got a long career with the United Airlines that I want to keep having and if I'm drug testing when we get to Houston on our arrival, I could fail that based on the second hand smoke that I was exposed to. And he says, I'm not taking that chance, and the

crew refused to fly. So it was it was more a not necessarily an issue of safety, because I don't feel like they were impaired in any way, But frequently for the airline and the FAA, they're pulled off of a flight and they're administered random drug tests and if he were to fail it, and his response was somebody was smoking marijuana in the laboratory. That be like, oh right, and it puts his career in jeopardy. And he says, I'm simply not going to do that based on the

actions of one person. So again we have one person doing something they shouldn't be doing and the impacting not only that flight, that flight's going to Houston to make up another flight going to somewhere else. Now you've impacted multiple flights simply by the actions that you've had. And yeah, it was unfortunate, and had it been a different life, avatory probably wouldn't have gone this way. But but the you know, the captain or first officer, I don't know

which one it was. I suspect it was the first officer, but the captain probably went along with it, simply wasn't wanting to take that chance.

So I'm telling you, and I can tell you this, the last thing I would want to do is to give my employer, you know, a reason to dismiss me right uh with with with ground And I just know that that kind of that kind of cause I don't want to give put in their hands for sure, so I was not against the decision, although I did feel for all the passengers.

got to do something. And it was an announcement to their investors, let them know what was going on, as they were trying to be as transparent as they could, which was was the good call, the right thing to do.

But of course Southward excuse me, Spirit. It was back in February twenty two, I believe that the merger with Frontier was announced and they were on that path until Jet Blue stepped in and said, we'll give you more money, and that's when again they pushed Frontier to the side, went with Jet Blue for a year and a half till it was decided that merger wasn't going to be approved, and then Spirit went back to Frontier, who said no, thank you, and so they're kind of out there on

their own. They've made a series of unfortunate decisions from a management standpoint that's put them in this process. Now they've gone to premium seats and trying to do things that are going to make them more profitable. But Brian All, this is coming at a time when we're seeing a slight reduction in the demand for leisure travel. So they've got all kinds of headwind here and it's really creating

some issues. So you know, they're telling their investors, and obviously their stock dropped like fifty percent when that announcement came out because a lot of people said, you know, there's a chance that they're going to go to business. Now. There's a lot of people that listen to us across the country, and many of them have reservations future reservations on Spirit. I would not be panicked at this point if I'm flying over the holidays or certainly beginning of

next year. Now, obviously they're going to continue to kind of reduce their footprint from the standpoint of a flight schedule point, so you may see future flights that are changed, could be canceled, all these kinds of things that may or may not happen. If I'm making a future reservation down the road on Spirit, I would be concerned because

you just don't know what's going to happen. And with those kinds of unknowns, not only are you worried about the airline but the employees, because the message that sends to the employees is, you know, we don't know if we can pay in a year, right, So okay, if I'm a pilot, if I'm a mechanic, if I'm a flight attendant, exactly, so what kind of operational impact will it have when they start losing employees. So you've got

all kinds of moving parts here. And fortunately not of this news is good for either Spirit employees or investors or passengers. And it's really unfortunate that they didn't merge with Frontier. When that news came out three years ago, I said, this is perfect. Their route maps complement each other perfectly. This is going to make him a mini mega low cost carrier juggernaut, and it's really going to

be a good combination. But they blew it when they went with Spirit because or with Jet Blue because they thought Jet Blue would pay more money. But their route maps were not consistent. They didn't compliment each other. A lot of cities and jobs are going to be lost in the process, and the governments said no, this is not best for the consumer, and they said no to it. Well,

they'd have called you. You were me. We got told me what wasn't going to work for that very reason, But for some strange reason they didn't call me.

sixty eight. Another hot, sticky day tomorrow with the tiny chance of raine eighty nine for the high seventy overnight again Muggy and Sticky and Saturday of the Muggy Sticky Days ninety one for the high closing.

you know these women are here. Oops. They were to be on that flight, and oh no, we didn't put them on there. So what happened was they put them on a later flight. They apologized. I put that in quotes because it was one hundred dollars voucher each. They got them to their destination. And of course the story explodes over social media, as it should have, because Southwest dropped the ball right. Anytime we had someone with any sort of a special need, we had what was called

a special service request. It's an SSR. Let's the ticket counter know what's going on the gate as well as the lead flight attendant. Everybody's on the same page as what the specific needs are for that specific passenger. So either there was not a special service report generated that would have notified everybody what was going on, or they

were notified and just dropped the ball. But look, if you and I are working a flight, one hundred and fifty people are checked in, we get the airplane loaded, there's one hundred and forty eight. It does not take any time at all for us to see, okay, our party of two because a lot of times they'll page them through the airport. So and so, socially, your flight's preparing to leave. We needed you to get to blah blah blah, and in that you would see that they

were visually impaired. Everything would stop. You would go and find those individuals. The ball was dropped here at so many different spots where they could have saved the day and didn't. Yes, you know, that's one of the reasons it's really embarrassing for Southwest. And they said, you know, they were asked about refunding the money. They said, well, you know, we really don't need to because you paid for us to get you from New Orleans to Orlando,

and we did that. You know, just you know, sometimes the being counters and the policies they put in place are absolutely as nine when it comes to how you're supposed to take care of people, and had they simply done what was right and done something beyond I'm not talking about free flights for life, you know, idiotic like that, but just something that would be a little bit more compassionate from the standpoint of what you put these people through.

And you know, the airline's mind is, look, they paid, we got them there a little bit later, but no big deal. Yeah, very big deal. Because you didn't do what you should have.

can't do it. We don't want you using it. On board the flight because of what takes place, and I think it was air bousan busa n You can do a Google image search on that and you can see what was left of the airplane after a lithium battery fire broke out and at the gate, thank god, and burn the entire top of the airplane off. Oh my lord. The FAA has said, I think we've had round numbers here, maybe off a bit. Forty four instances this year of lithium battery issues. Last year was eighty.

and it's creating problems. But Brian, the biggest issue we've talked about this is people in the gate area that are encouraged to give up their check luggage and a lot of times the gate agent as they quickly take it. And there's a lot of things going on. Jivinty items in here, electronic No, I don't have anything in there, and off it goes a toothbrush. It can be several different things that are powered by a lithium battery that breaks out in a fire in the whole cargo compartment

right now. There are fire suppression systems on these aircraft, but the lithium battery fires burn so hot they can't adequately put out the fire. So this is a big, big, big, big.

that tomorrow on the fifty five Cassee Morning Show. Of course Tech Friday with Dave Hatter and looking forward to this the return of Sarah Herringer, who's really kind of been the the face and the voice of reform in downtown Cincinnati since she lost her husband to that just awful attack. And they're over the Ruine apartment Sarah Herringer tomorrow. I hope you have a wonderful day, folks. Thank you Joe Strecker for all that you do produce in the program. Folks,

enjoy your day and don't go away. Glenn Beck's next news.
