55KRC Thursday Show - Cory Bowman, Congressman Taylor, Jay Ratliff

and public works and the budgeting. Presumably the City of Cincinnati, of course, engaged in some budget shenanigans the other day, allocating an additional million dollars to replace some equipment, much of the chagrin of the Vice mayor, who says that money is insignificant and should go to other stuff. Stuff be my word, not hers. But the words she used made about as much sense as me as saying stuff other areas that might have more impact or something. It

just was a word salad full of nothing. Anyway, she's not interested in replacing the equipment that apparently is in pretty bad shape.

to secure the border, which is actually pretty impressive. Got an article on that supporting law enforcement and the Customs and Border Patrol officers, condemning attacks on lawmakers, and how political violence is unacceptable.

some sort of involvement in the bombing of Iran. That was a subject of conversation, the abbreviated conversation we had yesterday with a judge edit Ofpolitano apologies for the technical difficulties, so hopefully those will be ironed out. We won't have them

in the future. His column dedicated to that particularly and the War Powers Resolution, which has never been tested in the Supreme Court, but by all Supreme Court presidents probably would be deemed unconstitutional or reviewed by the Supreme Court. Why because it delegates authorities that are exclusively the purview of Congress, ie the declaration of war to the executive branch,

albeit for a limited period of time. And of course the president has to communicate with Congress and let them know about the progress of the wars he's decided to wage.

getting us involved in a conflict. Well, getting involved in the conflict is supposed to be the exclusive purview of Congress five three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three dog Pound Fight fifty on at and two found brief headlines Israel's killed dozens of Iranian military leaders, bombing their hideout. This has kind of become the norm. I'll tell you what Israel intelligence has got is really damn impressive. At the outset of

this bombing campaign. I mean, we learned that they had assets and resources with within the country of Iran and were able to launch them from inside Iran, obviously having some sort of assistance from Iranian citizens. Yeah, there are organizations within Iran that do not appreciate the uh well, the dictatorial regime that they are living under. They think it sucks and rago they're friends of Israel and we're

willing to help Israel out in toppling the regime. And we found out that even Israel was surprised about the success of its initial bombing campaign. It blew up like thirty top military officials in one strike. I think they were hoping to only get a couple of them. Pretty impressive. Well, according to the Jerusalem Posts, they just had another one Monday bombing a mountain hideout where these military dozens of military leaders had congregated secret compound of the mountain outside

of Tehran. This chief of staff, Major General Ali shot him money for those keeping track at home. Oh yeah, I had that guy on my roster, Joe. Do you think there are betting sites that have odds on who's

gonna get assassinated next? I mean they have betting for everything. Anyway, this guy assassinated to the secret mountain compound outside of Tehran along with dozens of other senior Islamic Revolutionary God Guard Corps officers who had fled from their main headquarters in Tehran thinking that they would be safe in this mountain side hold up. Now, it says the Cord to the Jerusalem Post. Whether or not you trust the source,

I'm just reading the reporting. The Israeli Air Force waited for them to move to this so called secret location clearly not secret, and then killed them all at the same time. And in response, the Iranians launched a direct hit on a hospital. Now, where's the world in the world's global public opinion going to be start screaming out about civilian targets being hit by the Iranians. At least

the Israelers are going after military targets. You know, we got a lot of video of them bombing rocket launchers. The largest hospital in southern Israel bombed by Iran And I keep hearing about, you know, and I've talked to Daniel Davis about this and others and reading articles. Iranian misses are supposed to be a whole lot more accurate than the old days of the scud, which was like launching a bottle rocket. Maybe you would land in your neighbor's yard, maybe you would land on your roof. You

have no idea where that thing's going to go. You just kind of send it in some particular direction and hopefully, and at least in the case of a scud missile, it's going to do some damage and land on something that's valuable or at least a significant target. Usually they landed in some field out in the middle of nowhere. I've heard that the Iranian missile technology has gotten a lot better than that. They can actually hit what they're aiming for. So do they aim for this major hospital?

Soroka Hospital in the city of Beersheva took a direct hit from the Iranian ballistic missile, suffering significant damage court to the National Emergency Medical Organization in Israel's many these twenty five people were wounded, at least one severe injury. Fortunately, the casualty list not that significant, at least in terms

of overall population. But they bombed the hospital. Now, if Israel's bombing so called civilian sites like hospitals, and they've been blamed for that in Gaza, for example, it's because the terrorist organizations hide their military equipment inside the hospitals. There are all kinds of tunnels going in and out of hospitals that allow them to funnel their terrorist activities in and out of the area, hopefully undetected. I don't think Israel does that. Don't feel free to disagree with me.

the facility had been evacuated before the attack. Why because Israel warned the Iranians earlier in the morning that they were going to attack the facility and urge the public to flee the area, and they gave them the heads up. Props to Israel for trying to limit and reduce the civilian casualties in the conflict, and they're known for doing that.

since apparently it was able to be hacked anyway. Public records show that the hackers stole at least ninety million dollars of the company's assets over multiple transactions blockchain analysis from other entities. So the hackers burned the stolen funds by sending that crypto to inaccessible wallets, effectively taking the money out of circulation. So it's like seeing pile of ninety million dollars and lighting it on fire. The crypto

doesn't exist anymore. Prozitraeli hacking group called Predatory Sparrow took credit for the attack. Put a post on x about it. They said, a targeted this Novotex company for allegedly financing terrorism for the Irani regime and evading international sanctions firing. Okay, let's assume they did that. But the red flag for me is the idea that cyber criminals were able to come in and hack and basically eliminate this crypto from existence. And when you step back from that reality, and this

is why I don't understand crypto. I'll be quite frank with you. Seven years of college in immensea membership doesn't mean jack squat. But it does exist in ones and zeros. It's all the ether. One day there wasn't crypto, the next day there was, which is where a lot of

my skepticism comes from. And I know we have a printing press that just prints out fiat currency just sort of like forever, and you know that's going to ruin our entire crypto or our entire fiat currency at some point, runaway inflation.

of the switch being flipped off. One minute's there, the next minute it's not amid the backdrop of the Chinese Communist Party hacking into our electric system, which is you know, built on things made in China, that was one day they can just flip the switch and boom, it's gone.

When you go online to see where you're four oh one k and how it's doing, you have this concept of security and that your investments are being properly taken care of, and that you're building money, and the next thing, you know, somebody hacks into it and makes it disappear. We live in such an unstable, uncertain, and you know, technically connected world. When the lights go out, there's nothing there.

It ha's to be so Debbie Downer this morning. But that just the idea that one minute the hackers is it's snuck in and just made this all disappear in one hack. Teck Friday's Dave Hadter talks about this stuff all the time.

Ergo and since I don't know which direction I want to go in terms of topic, let's take Jay's phone call. Jay, thank you for calling this morning and saving me from the next article I was getting ready to go into regarding ozembic and one's penis size.

I think about that somebody in Congress who's a Republican was trying to pass some legislation that would make sure that the ability to declare war rust with the Congress. And your point is it's already in the Constitution.

ballot and put it into the Ohio Constitution. So my concern is we're starting to lose our standard, which means we are going to start losing the protections afforded us by the State Constitution the Federal Constitution, and that once we lose that, we lose our foundation as a country and income the tyrants. And we had better wake up as a people to understand what that constitution means and what it protects us from versus we just cheer on our guy when it's our guy, and we really don't care.

It's like two kids playing monopoly that are cheating against each other and nobody's playing by the rules anymore. I don't know what you want to call it, but it's not monopoly. We are no longer living in a representative republic, a constitutional republic if we've shred the state Constitution and the Federal Constitution. If for crying out loud, quit trying to repass hard legislation or hold the standard so and don't vote Democrat.

recognition of what I'm trying to accomplish here. It's nice to be in a position to at least point out what I believe to be the obvious. Five twenty eight to fifty five krsit detalk station, local stories or your comments are welcome. Five one thirty seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk pass by fifty on eight at thought as I stare at this article about ezembic and penis size, I'll.

to get over it and move on. Jason Williams excellent conversation with inquires Jason Williams on the current status of the stadium deal and uh and ken Cober right there, uh FOP President Ken Cober about the officer involved shooting involving that hinting kid that is no longer with us, determined by Conny Village to be justified. Over to the phones we go. Let's se what Tom's got this morning. Tom, welcome to the Morning show. You off today?

lot sooner, should have never gone on. But you know, we move on from there was that eighteen sixty five, you know, so we're we're many many years after that. It's it's good to look back and say, hey, this this country, you know, with the problems that it's had, it's sick some things. We definitely got some things fixed. And I think, well, I think along with that, you know, using this holiday to say hey, it's you know, you

all want a complaine it does. It's it's crazy how much the left use of slavery and uh, not so much slavery, but racism and stuff like that. Racist country. Today is a day more proof that noe, you're wrong, You're wrong. It was there was some problems, but no it's uh, today is a day to celebrate how far along this country has come and in ending that kind of crap. So yeah, absolutely, you know, last last night

or last evening whenever. Uh, you kind of were in your little doom and bloom intro there you were alluding to what happened when the lights go out? Well, for us, the lights went out last night. Uh fortunately at our house it was only for a few minutes and and then they came back on. But uh uh about a mile away in my daughter's house, she had she I think your power was out like three or four hours. So what do you do? What do you do when the lights go out? You know? And it's like, I'll

we're back to the stone ages here. Can't can't charge my fault, you know, Thank god Sell sell networks still work. But my batheries, we are we definitely have some serious perstal problems that we Hey, what a couple of well Trump Trump thing that Jay brought up. By the way, great slogan for Jay. I I think I got to start

using that one. But I think a good part of well what motivates Trump is I think he uses some of these some of these seemingly wacky ideas or you know, the the idea that he might cross the line or whatever as as a way to get what he wants. And you'll notice a lot of times there's there's the Trump the threat of this, and and Trump might do that, and and and you know, I'm hearing somebody say that

Trump's gonna do this, and that's just wrong. And he winds up a lot of this stuff winds up not even happening, right, And but the threat of it gets it done, makes things happen, and starts things up. And I think that's a lot of his practics. And I can understand that. You know, we definitely, we definitely want to keep an eye on our guy, just like you guys have discussed. I agree with that our guy might be the one that sends it down the slippery slow that the other side takes off.

stack is stupid right on top. And when I read the headline, I knew exactly what the reality was.

boil down on this three page article. No, it ain't getting bigger is because you aren't. It isn't surrounded by so much fat quote. Rather than actually adding centimeters to your member, it seems as if the fat around it is actually just reducing, which gives the illusion of things getting a bit bigger, which the article says, which is certainly better than nothing.

to de escalate the situation. The man jumped into a pond with the chainsaw, and negotiations to get him out went on for forty minutes. Deputy's finally going to get him out with a with a beanbag gun and a lasso. Now, when's the last time you heard about law enforcement using a lasso. We're going back to a Western movie here. Thirty two year old taken to the hospital for mental health services and the family received resources, which I have

no idea what that means. Also reportedly unclear if charges will be filed. They got juice and a cookie. That's that's the resources that they received. Well, that's kind of comforting, isn't it. I suppose a traumatic event like being chased around in the yard with your your your your your, your offspring, you know, wielding a chainsaw and try to slice you in half. Juice and a cookie might be a nice leg Joe, make you feel better. Isn't that

what it's all about? Had this vision of someone also offering them a blanket and giving them a pat on the shoulder and telling them everything's going to be okay. Five fifty five talk station. I'm just rambling this morning. Feel free to change the direction call after. I recommend affordable imaging services where you can get cts, MRIs, echo cardiograms and ultrasounds for basically nothing comparable to hospital charges.

And now, of course there's a charge with affordable imaging services, but it is nothing like what the hospital's charge.

So go ahead, I had and pay thirty five hundred dollars maybe even more for an echo cardiogram after waiting three weeks to get in, or exercise your right to choice when it comes to medical care, go to affordable imaging services where that echo cardiogram is only going to cost you five hundred bucks without an enhancement and eight hundred with an enhancement. Same kind of equipment to hospitals use medical professionals been at this for decades working there.

It includes the board certified radiologist report. Yeah, I'd rather pay five hundred than thirty five hundred dollars, you know what. That's why I go to Affordable Imaging Services. They got cancer. I need CT scans all the time. Geez, you think I want to just glad I only have to pay what it's four fifty without a contrast, although I always need a contrast. So six hundred dollars with a contrast thousands up to five grand at a hospital for a CT scan isn't that crazy?

It's Affordable Medimaging.

Thirty five year old man and found guilty of impersonating a flight attendant at least one hundred and twenty times for the purpose of getting free airplane flights. Federal prosecutors a clue accused Tyrone Alexander of entering the secure area of an airport under false pretenses and committee wire fraud at least one hundred and twenty times between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty four. Thirty five year old reported that took advantage of a common airline policy allowing flight attendants

and pilots from other airlines to fly for free. He had allegedly worked as a flight attendant for regional airlines between twenty thirteen and twenty fifteen, obviously preceding the dates when he committed these acts. He would go to various airline websites and check the quote flight Attendant close quote

option during the check in process online. That form required applicants to provide their employer the date of hire and badge number, and he used falsified informations that no Oney bothered to check pro tip for those out there that want to commit acts of criminal activity Anuway Prosecution stead and the statement. The evidence at trial also showed that

Alexander poses a flight attendant on three other airline carriers. Ultimately, Alexander booked more than one hundred and twenty free flights by falsely claiming to be a flight attendant court to the evidence shown of the court, between that period of time I mentioned, he fraudulently booked more than one hundred and twenty flights on four different airlines to destinations including Atlanta, Dallas,

Las Vegas, Los Angeles. He claimed to have worked for seven different airlines in the forms online used approximately thirty different combinations of ID numbers and contract start dates. Found guilty of four Council wire fraud each carrying a maximum sentence of twenty years in prison, and one count of a fraudulently accessing a restricted area of the airport, which carries a maximum sentence of ten years in prison. His

sentencing date wish I knew what it was. It's August twenty fifth, So we'll have to wait around for a follow up on that one. I think given the amount of time he might serve, how about don't do that. You think he's going to get the same treatment child molester's get in prison. Joe cute looking guy Okay, fourteen year old English boy recently won a legal battle against his parents, who he accused of tricking him into flying to Ghana and then preventing him from coming home.

took them to court. Initially, the High Court in London ruled in favor of his parents, who claimed to have had the boy's best interest in mind when they shipped him off to Ghana under false pretenses. But a Court of appeal recently revoked that verdict and sided with the team,

considering that his freedom of choice had been infringed. Original judgment, the High Court Justice Mister Hayden, claimed that the parent's decision to trick him into flying there was determined to buy quote their deep obvious and unconditional love close quote, as he would have been at risk of suffering greater harm by staying in London. Parents lawyers told the court the teenage boy had developed an interest in a local gang and gang culture and exhibited an unhealthy interest in knives.

Lawyers told the court the parents found themselves in a holy invidious decision when they made the decision they made. Ghana provided a safe haven separate from those who exposed them to risk. The least harmful option is for him to remain in Ghana. Courd of the article the in light of evidence regarding the boy's miserable condition in Ghana, the London Court of Appeal recently overturned the original verdict.

Reportedly told the court he felt like he was living in hell, could barely understand what was going on at the African boarding school and was mocked by his peers there. That does seem a bit extreme. You want to get him away from the gang culture, you ship him off to an African nation.

about it. Of course, we have evolved a lot since then, and that in and of itself is an evolution reflecting that we're always working on, you know, working on a better union, a more perfect union, and over time you can get that.

Jason Williams from the Cincinnion, inquiring the stadium deal, it's just every time I think of that stadium deal, it's comical and yet depressing at the same time. FLP President Ken Kober on the hint and shooting officer

involved shooting and the officer has been cleared. It was definitely justified in using deadly force, much to the chagrin of the Hinton family and them not fully appreciating that there is immunity for the police officers for actions that occur during their job, and whether you agree with that or not, that's the current state of the law. So we and I were both left wondering and scratching our heads over the threats of a lawsuit from the Hinton family.

Who do they think they're going to sue? And that statutory immunity exists for the police officers and a prosecutor who cleared the officer of any wrongdoing five three seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk go tome five fifty on your AT and T phones, and my friend Maureen out there is going to be

enjoying the fact that I'm bringing up this topic. And it's one of those great topics when you look at online reporting, depending upon which source you are reading, the information you're reading can come out with a different spin stating the obvious for those who regularly read things from various websites, both right and left.

twenty twenty. Intelligence reports on it were recalled for reasons that nobody really quite knows, which is why they're now investigating it. US Customs and Border Protection seized about twenty thousand fake licenses around the same time. And you got to remember the margins of a victory for Biden. He won Arizona and Georgia ten thousand and twelve thousand votes respectively, so rather slim margin of victory for Joe Biden in

those states. Patel declassified the intelligence report and sent it over to Senator Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley for additional vetting. Writing on AX, Patel said, the FBI has located documents which detail alarming allegations related to the twenty twenty US election, including allegations of interference by the CCP. I've immediately declassify the material turn the documents over to Chairman Grassley for

further review. Grassly, for his part, concerned that the intelligence wasn't fully probe despite evidence of these bogus US driver's license pushed for the Bureau to revisit the matter, looking into it a little bit, further, saying thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassly, THEI this is Patel. The FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency at the People's Bureau.

To that end, we have located documents that Chairman Grassley requested. Specifically, these include allegations of plans but from the CCP Chinese Communist Party, to manufacture fake driver's licenses and ship them in the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail in ballots, allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public, hum Grassy, spokesperson speaking

with the News. Chairman Grassley is in receipt of an FBI document responsive to a request he made based on legally protected whistle blower disclosures. The documents alleged serious national security concerns that need to be fully investigated by the FBI, actually requesting additional information from the FBI to verify the production, and is urging the FBI to do its due diligence to investigate why the document was recalled, who recalled it

and informed the American people about its findings. After discovery of these documents, Grassley sent another request over to cash Betel seeking internal communications of at least three key officials involved with the decision making regarding the Intelligence Information Report. That's what they have inside there. I wasn't aware of those,

but it's an IIER Intelligence Information Report. Grassy in the letter quote, Lastly, explain why the FBI under your predecessor required the original IIR to be destroyed, Whether this practice is consistent with the FBI's passed and current practice, and how it comports with federal record preservation requirements. Isn't that

an interesting point he's making. They had this report, they talked about the twenty thousand drivers' licenses, they concerned about the Chinese Communist Party since they came from China, and yet they destroyed the report.

all the time. So twenty thousand maybe just the tip of the iceberg. I would say this is worthy of investigation. And this has been going on for a long time, as the Post reporting points out. Back in twenty twelve, for example, several Senators, including Grassley and Senate Majority whip Dick Durbin, wrote a letter to the Chinese ambassador urging Beijing to crack down on the production of fake US driver's licenses and other documents.

the twenty twenty four general election. Again scratching the surface of probably what is a broader and more widespread issue going on out there, Pat, hang on, I'll take your call. Had to get all that out of my system. Gotta take a break. Mention gat a Heaven cemetery. Go to Heaven Catholicy. You can hang out there and sort of unwind, maybe engage in a moment of prayer, in thoughtful contemplation, Maybe remember a loved one who may be buried there.

Maybe you want to consider burying yourself there at some future point. Catholic Cemetery, they'd be happy to talk to you about that, but you know, and speaking the truth. It is a beautiful, beautiful place, and they welcome folks to come and just sort of contemplate nature's beauty as well as honoring life. Generally speaking, a sacred place for sacred people more than a burial place. They call it a sanctuary, a place set apart for prayer and healing

and honoring the legacy of each life. So learn more about Gate of Heaven, get a little insight about what it's all about, and I recommend strolling on through there. It is gorgeous. Gate of Heaven dot org, gitof Heaven dot.

manufactured driver's license from some online operation in China. This young person pulled over by the police for I think was a speeding infraction, inadvertently handed over the fake Illinois

driver's license. Yeah, that's a problem. But as I thought about that, and I was thinking about the reality of this twenty thousand driver's license that were confiscated again in the context of those are the ones that were found by US Customs and Border Protection, and how many have made it into the country, considering that I know a

young person who got one. And as I pivot over to the so called conspiracy theories, and this is an easy one to run with, we've learned of late that there are a heap load of non governmental organizations that are behind the funding for these protests over the weekend. Many of them have connections to the Chinese Communist Party. And there's one multi billionaire who's living in China who hates America, who is one of the funders. And as I pointed out countless times, the CCP hates us.

so I can interfere with the American election? Something tells me that that would probably be pretty easy to do, considering that you're young person sixteen year old in your house using your computer can have one delivered to your mailbox.

Further to the story, a former national intelligence offer for cyber under President Trump and Joe Biden has now come forward with more allegations the CIA and Officer Director of National Intelligence deliberty buried evidence of the Chinese Communist Party interference in the twenty twenty presidential election, and then fired

him when he refused to play along. Whistle Blower's post came in response to General Mike Flynn's tweet on Monday questioning why foreign election interference by the CCP wasn't exposed back in twenty twenty, going back to the article I mentioned in the last segment, CIA, director, So there was foreign interference by the CCP and the twenty twenty presidential election. Who was running the USIIC at the time, and why didn't you get this exposed back?

is no longer a confidential informant. He's out on records saying that he got canned because he wanted this information to go public.

envision and life and home care. You know, you can get some insurance for home care because you know we've got like Alzheimer's problem in this country and you might want to think down the road about that. You can get a policy to get some people in your home regularly, and it's a very inexpensive policy, just one of many

different options you have with cover Sincy. But I'd like to fok about the focus on the medical because working with hundreds of different insurance companies and literally access to thousands of policies, they look at you as an individual because you're different than the guy sitting next to you

in the next cube. So if you have a small business, talk to them, because we look at each of one of your employees and put a package of policies together to cover them, provide them upfront coverage and coverage that they can actually afford. And providing valuable and comprehensive medical insurance can really be a great way for you to keep your employees. If you're struggling with keeping employees. Employee retention is a difficult thing. Talk to my friend Jeff,

small business owner himself. He did what I'm recommending, which is calling cover since he with no obligation to you. Work with those folks who are on your side of the table. They're working for you, not the insurance companies, and have them take a look at your current situation and find a better path and save you heap loads of money. Couples hundred sixty five saving a five hundred to one thousand dollars a month with better coverage sounds impossible to believe.

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

calling in on that. We got a whole hour with Corey Bowman running from the may of the City of Cincinnati. He will be in studio, which is a much better way to communicate with the human being when you're staring at him looking across the bench. Here five on three, seven four nine fifty hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phone. Moreneen was listening to me talking about the election interference. She said,

great job covering it. Now I don't need to call, but you can still feel free to call.

twenty twenty three incident on Writing Road, District four. Police charged her June eighth, booked into the Hamilton County Jail Monday, facing charges, then was facing charges by nine am police charger after determining she knowingly caused serious physical harm to a female victim by slamming the victim's head into the ground,

causing the victim to be left unconscious. That's according to the Affidavid presented also says that mssus Eberhart was sitting on top of the victim with the victim's hair wrapped around her hand. Ms Eberhardt then slammed the victim's head into the ground and punched her in the face. When the victim finally came to she was laying on the ground in the hallway alone. The affidavit is based on statements made to police by the victim and also a

Facebook live video which shows the incident. Kind of scratch your head wondering who filmed it? I love when Joe Strecker writes editorial comments on articles.

beginning January of twenty thirty three. Accordion a statement from Blessing Tuesday to the General Government Committee during his sponsor testimony. Quote, as of the last census, the size of these districts in terms of population roughly three hundred and fifty eight thousand and one hundred nineteen thousand, respectively. Smaller districts, more firmly anchor legislators to their districts. They would represent fewer communities and constituents and could devote more time to them.

Does that sound like a good idea to you, I know, Joe. More politicians, Yeah, that'll fix it. More cats to herd in Columbus, Give me more Republicans to disappoint us. Yeah, I don't know. It could convince me that I'm wrong. I'm not going to embrace this conceptually. Six thirty five fifty five ks detalk station zimmer heating and air conditioning. That's what you want to call, got an HVAC problem? You want your unit service. Joe never uses the phrasing

But seriously, Zimmer has been around for three generations, coming up on eighty years, and congratulations to the Zimmer family for providing just wonderful service to their customers. Outstanding customer service you get from Zimmer Heating and Cooling, and you can get on a maintenance program. They service all kinds of units. They do a whole

lot more than just replace HVAC systems. But that's what my focus has been on lately because right now you can save fifteen hundred and fifty dollars on a brand new carrier comfort system. So if your system's gone, it's belly up. It's time to turn to the experts at Zimmer Heating and Cooling who've been making Cincinnati Hirie homes safe, efficient and comfortable again for coming up on eighty years.

fifty on eighteen and two funds And that point I made yesterday, and I think it's a point worthy of making almost every single day. I think there should be legislation that prohibits the use of taxpayer money to fund

any political organization or politically motivated organization. The parallel I drew yesterday was like, for example, if your federal tax dollars, the money that you earned through your lefelabor that they took from you, was going to fund some religion that you did not agree with, you would waive your Constitution around and say, no, we don't have a theocracy here, you can't fund a religion. Well, politics is a lot like religion.

Logic will dictate that, and so does history every time it's been tried. And on top of that, how is it that the people empowered the oligarchs are always living large while the laborers toil away in the fields or whatever. It takes a leap of faith. So I view Marxism as a religion, and it's a religion I don't believe in. You're not gonna convert me. Go ahead and proselytize your

butt off. It ain't gonna work under my mindset. And we find out, thanks for the efforts of the of doge Elon Musk formerly with the Department of you know, Government Efficiency, we're funding all kinds of crazy organizations like that. We're funding NGOs, immigration and a huge excuse to send out tens of millions and billions of dollars into the world for local organizations who are helping. We're helping, and with that I pivot over to an article out of

California Government Watchdog opened the books. That's an organization revealed that California handed out seventy three point six million taxpayer dollars to anti deportation groups over one calendar year twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four. The organization the Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles CURLA. You may have heard about it. It's also linked to the Chinese Communist Party. There's been many articles published about money flowing

from the CCP into CHURLA. Now, why would the Communist want us to have to deal with an immigration problem, I don't know. Maybe because it's going to bankrupt us or move us further to bankruptcy.

riots are being bankrolled by a taxpayer subsidized nonprofit. There is zero excuse for our tax dollars to go towards these riots. Well, she's focusing on the riots. There's zero excuse for taxpayer dollars to go toward any advocacy organization. Why because you and I disagree and have disagreement about the purpose of the advocacy organizations. What is worthy of receiving taxpayer labor dollars? Well, I believe in this, I believe in that.

what you believe in. My money shouldn't go to pay for it, Cheryl of public funding went from twelve point four million in counter year twenty twenty two to thirty four million in twenty twenty three, one hundred and seventy four percent increase, which parenthetically coincided with rising anti American activism, the riots in the streets in LA and illustration of exactly that over the past couple of weeks, ninety six percent of the revenue Turla God came from California taxpayers.

And I know you're not weeping for the California taxpayers. This was decision mating made by their decision making from the elected officials that the idiots in California put into office. But it doesn't make it any less offensive because notably, your dollars also went to fund CURLA. Back to my fundamental point, CURLA has a Warriors for Justice subprogram. I guess Deportation Defense Squad is a way it's describing the report. Also something called wise Up, a program that teaches high

schoolers to become activists. Also the Removal Defense Team initial cap on that blocking immigration enforcement. Cherl's website says their mission includes quote challenging anti immigration legislation, reducing immigration enforcement, investigating in immigrant communities. So in spite of the federal law on the books which was put into place by officials that we elected on a federal level, which says these folks are not legally in our country and should

not have been allowed in our country. And again, this is regardless of what you perceive to be right versus wrong. I think that's wrong. It's a law on the books. And if you want to change, elect different people who say, okay, let's have open borders or whatever you're advocating for. But why are taxpayer dollars, whether state taxpayer dollars or federal taxpayer dollars, advocating to fight against laws that are on the books. You want to fund something like that with

your paycheck, go ahead, write them a check. Be at George Sorows. I know you don't have billions of dollars like George, but hell, he's fund in all kinds of left wing organizations. It's his prerogative. But the simple notion.

rubs you the wrong way with that money. And I know people think, well, I don't like to the fun defense. Well, you know what, it's a general defense apride for the protection of the United States of America. People try to make that argument before it doesn't work. But political advocacy, that's a horse of a different color. Six forty eight fifty five care c DE Talk Station Chimneycare, Fireplace and Stove outstanding folks.

the fiscal year. Has already spent eight hundred and thirty million and will on course to spend a complete one billion dollars on their emergency shelter program. This is where illegal immigrant families are mostly making up the folks that live in these various facility facilities. Governor Mara Heals in the administration again eight hundred and thirty million dollars so

in on a monthly basis? It's rhetorical question.

Okay, six fifty five fifty five kr se Detalk station bring I discussed the problems locally occurring in the city of Cincinnati and a man who may have some solutions for them, a man who you should probably vote for given the direction of the city of Cincinnati in four decades of Democrat rule. Meyrill candidate Corey Bowman

in studio for a full hour. We will talk public safety, we will talk budget, we will talk public works and potholes and snow removal and equipment and all those things the city's responsible for. He'll be up next to hope he can stick around.

run Corey Bowman. It's great to see you, great to be here. Thank you so much for having me. Brian, happy to be happy to do it and happy to talk with you. And uh one of first off start off. If Corey has to end the segment, he's planning on spending the full hour in the studio. But a shout out to his beautiful wife Jordan. Today's the official due date. Yesterday was oh, yesterday was today was Yeah.

We didn't even have We had nothing by way of supplies in the house. There were no diapers or you know, blankets or everything else that you need to care for a baby. So I had to run around, scramble and get all that stuff. But before we brought him home, but out of nowhere, and the same thing happened with my daughter.

I think we need a change. Yeah, yeah, well we're under one and forty eight. We're actually one hundred and thirty eight days away from the November election, and so time flying. Yeah, and so time is fine, but we do have some time to let people know at least that there is an election. You know, I was asked by a local newspaper recently, you know, how do we

feel about the primary? I said, my biggest takeaway from the primary is that we only had about eight percent voter turnout, and so we've got to get people involved. I think that you know, that has to speak louder than anything else, is that people want to be involved in these elections. Myself included. This is something from a city perspective, somebody that's lived in the city. We have to realize that all of us have a part to

play in this. Yes we do, and you know we've you and I have talked about the situation in Hyde Park. Of course, this is the ballot initiative to get the citizens an opportunity to vote on their own and chart their own destiny, rather than having the destiny of their neighborhood being shoved down their throats by a city council and the current mayor. I was really hoping and praying

that that would net you some support. Corey Bowman. Didn't force this development on Hyde Park, and Corey Bowman, as I understand, it wouldn't have forced this development down the residents of Hyde Park's throats. You would allow the residents of Hyde Park to choose their own destiny, much in the way a bond Hill probably feels. And all the other neighborhoods who rose up and in defiance of city council voted to get this on the ballot so they

could control their own destiny. I mean, it's a cautionary tale for these current city council members and the mayor. And I think it's the illustration of the failure of representative government. Well yeah, what you said, representative government. And you know I was in the City Hall whenever they had the meetings and had the initial vote for the rezoning of this project. And when you have hundreds of people, one after another, stopping on this microphone to voice their

overwhelming opposition toward this project. These are members of the community. These aren't just people that have been flown in. These are people that are very very much involved in the community. And then on top of that, you have a petition of over four thousand signatures of city residents that are saying we are opposing this, and then you look and you vote seven to two in opposition of that community. That's something that I'm trying to tell people.

And I think that that's something that we need to start taking more action toward.

and often inconsistent in their challenges and needs. High Park is nothing like bond Hill.

density housing. It's always about this. You're only zoning what we want you to zone for. It's not about the community developers. It's not about the community councils. It's not about the people and the residents of these neighborhoods. It's about this is our overall vision that we have as your elected officials, and.

Connected Communities program. Period and a story and then until a well connected developer puts its hand up and says, I need a waiver so I can put in a giant apartment building and a giant hotel in Hyde Park. And they ignore their their their their their connection with this environmentally correct walking community concept of connecting community is like, oh, okay, well connected developer. I wonder if there was any money involved in that, Corey.

they enjoying a plus of the better business bearer. The price is always right and the work is always superior. So don't worry about calling plumb tight. They'll take great care of you like they have for me in emergency situations on is Well. Tankless water heaters are the number one installer of tankless in the Tri State and it's a great reason to go tankless. First off, space savings.

You may not care about it, but you can get rid of that entire giant hot water heater tank and put a unit about the size of a suitcase hanging on the wall, which provides unlimited hot water. Never run out of hot water with a tankless and lower energy bills. Yeah, traditional water heaters keep a tank of water hot twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Tankless only heats the water when you need it, which means less energy waste than real savings over time, and they last

longer than traditional tank as well. So multiple reasons go tankless. And if you go tankless, go with plumb tight plumbing. It's plumbing done right. They live with that motto seven two seven eighty eighty three seven two seven Tight of course five one three seven two seven Tight online plumtight dot com.

offensive and not part of what government should be. Sorry, had to go down that road again, but there seems to be a lot of that going on. But in so far as the police is concerned in crime, and I know this is an important topic to you. You live in the West End, you know about crime, and you have talked to a bunch of police officers of late.

from day one of being mayor. And one of the biggest things that we're seeing right now in our city is that there is an uptick in crime. There's an uptick in a lot of things that are going on in our community. If you live downtown, you know that the statement crime is down couldn't be farther from the truth.

And there are certain key issues that are happening in our city right now that we have to address, and one of one of it has to be with the understaffed police department that's happening right now and the lack of morale and the lack of proper recruitment that's been happening over the past few years. And a lot of this is catching up to us. Like I said, I've talked with a lot of police officers. Many of them will come into our coffee shop and I don't push

my agenda on him. I say, hey, what's going on in your department? What's going on from the police department standpoint, and we're the biggest the biggest things that we can fix. And I've repeated this over and over. I think the biggest thing that we have to focus on is the relationship between the community and the police officers. There's been a huge divide between the local law enforcement, the officers that are there to protect and serve our community, which

I've talked to them. They have a heart for our city, they have a heart for the community. They want to be in harm's way to be able to protect the people that they love. But then at the same time, the city and the communities that they serve, there's this disconnect because a lot of these policies that are in place, when we see the three to one one, when we see the ARC programs, when we see from the top down, the culture that's being set that the police officers are

only there for worst case scenario. It creates this disparity and a lot of the morale of the police officers has been lost.

was FOP president. It was on the program at Day, Yeah, kenk Cob And I asked him, you know, if you're a bet patrol officer and you're out there, how are you generally received by the communities that you serve and they say they want us there? I mean, they want police president, they want safety. They are not against the police.

It's that really just irks me to go in that the voice that's elevated is the small minority of the people who think police are inherently evil and bad and that there should be a different way of doing things.

But here's something that happened too. Not only do we need to recognize what happened with Patrick Harringer, but there's a man named Charles Smith who was in the North Side area, South Cummingsville area that what happened was on Friday night. Basically for the sake of optics, really, a lot of these officers were taken from their districts and put into OTR to make sure that it look like

they were covering the area. Well, some of the districts that were suffering because of this on that night was South Cummingsville and North Side. Well, then there's a man, he's a veteran. He's he's a Navy veteran and he worked at the Via Medical Center for over twenty five years. Charles Smith is his name, and he was murdered that night as well, just because of lack of the proper policing or the proper patrols that were put in the area.

And that was just an administrative error on the chief's part. To be able to say from optics over outcomes is what we've been saying, Well.

and I'm not going to have a chance to get away. No, that's not really the case when seconds counts. Police will be there in maybe an hour. So seven twenty six will continue with Corey Bowman. Got to take quick break care mention my good friends at USA Installation. What a great product. I've been talking return on investment in you know, drawing a parallel to the market over time. Yeah, you're probably going to get a great return on investment if

you keep your money invested in the market. But you're guaranteed to get a return on investment with USA's premium phone. First off, in terms of comfort, improve comfort from day one.

over you. Maybe the misallocation of taxpayer dollars defunding all these non governmental organizations to do stuff and things in the community, maybe that's roving you the wrong way. Then don't vote for the status quo. And I said, give Corey a shot and see how he handles things. Vote for different council members and see how they handle things. And this is what elections are all about. So you need to show up and h and and vote for

a different direction. Because I honestly, Corey, when I say that, I'm surprised that really that many people in the city of Cincinnati think that we're under responsible government. I mean to the extent people are paying attention, you know, they're wondering why their road hasn't ever been fixed?

Jam Michelle Vice mayor Kearney complaining about additional million dollars going into replacing some of the the the the the the fleet of vehicles, which apparently is in a complete state of disarray. That's a huge amount of money. About every officer that I've talked to, you know, has made a complain about that. So that's actually police vehicles, fire vehicles, snow removal, all that kind of stuff. I get half of it is out of commission or in need of

being replaced. So well, I can't remember which council member voted to for an additional one million dollars, and she's complaining that it should go to what sounded to me like non governmental organizations. Never did articulate what she thought it could be used for, but it needs to go

for better use. We can't even buy a fire truck with a million dollars, So why would we even allocate that extra money to vehicle replacement when in fact, half of the vehicles that the city owns are out of commission or getting close to the end of the life, are already at the end of life.

to be able to run something successfully. There is one thing that as a church we've expect sperienced a lot is that there's a lot of whether it be funding or a lot of resources, a lot of donations, a lot of things that are available to people in the community. It's the facilitation of distributing it that's been the issue.

A lot of people have these things available, a lot of these funds, a lot of these resources available, they just don't know the proper ways of getting it in the hands of the right people of the community.

just filtering it through an organization. We put it right to the people that are in need of it. Well, then we partnered with a local school this last Christmas because they said, we've got all the resources coming in as far as nations. We've got, you know, whether it be Toys for Tots, whether it be FC Foundation, We've got all these different foundations that want to get on board. But it's about the distribution of it. It's about helping

facilitate it. I was like, well, we've got that, we've got a building, we can store the stuff, and we'll make sure that it gets into the right hands. And so I feel like the city, for the sake of just looking like they care about the community, is filtering a lot of this money through organizations because in their mind they're thinking that's the only way that we know

how to get it into the hands of the community. Well, the first thing in the budget is that you have to take care of just the basic necessities of the city, which is like what you just said, the streets. It's our the vehicles of our police officers, our fire trucks,

our snowplows. I mean there's a major deficit when it comes to just updating our equipment for our public services right now, so that public it has to be it when I mean it's it's one thing to help people, it's another thing to like, these are your primary city jobs, in my opinion, is safe streets, clean streets, and properly

paved streets, if that makes sense. Your your job is the streets and so on top of that exactly, And so if you have the funds to be able to help community organizations like this, I think that there's just this big disconnect between elected city officials.

Doctor Fru joined I guess probably within the last two years. But doctor Fred Peck a demonstrably superior dentist for all reasons. He's always insisted on being in the most state of the art dental clinic for the benefit of his patients, of course, but a fellow with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a real genius. I've been calling him a genius for years because I've seen the before and after

pictures of his transformative, life changing cosmetic dentistry. So if you are in the market or don't like your smile, you need to consult with doctors Peck and Fru. She's on her way to accreditations. You get her fresh perspective with his years of experience, and you'll end up with a stunning smile makeover. But in terms of general dentistry, you couldn't be in the best. You couldn't be in better hands. And I've my listeners who've seen doctor Frew

butts and go out and vote. One of the bigger challenges at actually getting people to go to the go in on election day or vote ahead of time. Hell, we've got a window of opportunity a month long in advance, people can actually cast the vote. And again, going back to my friends in Hyde Park and Bond Hill and other neighborhoods who can't control their own direction because the City of Cincinnati won't listen to you, don't do it again. Yeah, it seems like I such a simple solution, don't do

it again. But moving over to other matters, I guess in terms of prioritization, you already mentioned the key priorities for any city and governance is safety and infrastructure. And I know you've had experience at least in terms of and pivoting over to development. And I'm not sure with this Connected Communities program in place, since council voted for that, how much control a mayor would have if you are

dealing with a council that's still pro connected communities. But one thing I know you know about and maybe there is something that can be done notwithstanding what that proposal stands for, is standing in the way of development. I mean, you live in the West End and you've you've seen it firsthand, and you know I go back to my experience back when the late Elmer Hensler was complaining about he wanted to expand and his meat packing plan. You know,

there's nothing over there but industry. It's not like he's changing a neighborhood from a residential community into a factory.

And I think that one of the key things about our city that makes it great is utilizing our local developers, the ones that actually have a heart for the city. There's so many people that or businesses that can maybe flip or revitalize one or two properties at a time, and for people like this, it's very hard to kind of get ahead of the game. Like one of one of my friends who's actually developing property that's across the street from our coffee shop. Took them three years to

be able to just break ground on the construction. They put a lot of money into it, put a lot of effort into it. Once they got the go ahead, I'm telling you, I've never seen crews work faster. And I looked at him, I said, what that you know, I've never seen people work this fast on construction. He's like, we've been waiting for three years. I've had everything ready for three years. And after talking with him, I realized

that there's kind of two sides of this coin. On one side, you have whether it be the permits, whether it be the zoning, whether it be getting the you know, the blessing, and you kiss the ring of those the powers that be to make sure that you can develop

it the way that they see fits. But then also a lot of these developers or business owners are trying to take advantage of as many tax credits or incentives that they can, not necessarily because they're lazy or trying to just cheat the system, but because they need to find some way to be offitable in the city, whether it be through taxes or all of that stuff as well. And so we've got to do everything we can to help these small time local developers.

It seems to me that they should be involved in outreach. Well, okay, I want this project to move forward. What's the hold up? What are you looking for? Facilitating the prompt development?

neighborhoods in Cincinnati. These people know what direction they want their communities to go. Our job is to facilitate that growth and that potential as much as we can. But the initiatives, like the Connected Communities. This is the argument that they'll say, is that, all, well, he says he's for development, But that's exactly what connected communities is.

what is always has been your home. You're committed, You're a business owner, you have your church in the West End. You know about the needs in the city, the impediments that people face, and yet it's got to be a bit heartbreaking and a bit of a challenge because I know you've run into people that will raise their hand. I used to live in the city, but I got the hell out or you know, like west Side Jim Kiefer, I mean, he's committed in the city of Cincinnati.

one of two things that happen. Either somebody tells me, yeah, we got out of the city a long ago, we just couldn't take it anymore, or we get people that feel like they're like the last watchman on the wall there. I was talking to a gentleman not too long ago that said, I'm not leaving this city. I care too much about this city. I care too much about what's going on but my family's been in Price Hill for one hundred and twenty years, and you know, I'm the last one in my family to be in the area

and still be in the city. So like, there's this remnant of people that basically say, we're not leaving, we care too much about our city. But you have to see hope because what you're seeing with the crime, the infrastructure, and the way the budget is being handled, there's there's not really a lot of hope for people like that. Well, I just basically want to convey that if we it might be a big ship and it can turn on

a little rudder. There might be certain things that we need to do this year to be able to help us steer in the right direction, but there is a bright future ahead for our city. I'm not here to say that since any's a hell hole, that I'm here to fix everything. I'm here to say I'm raising my family in the city. I really believe it's the greatest city on the face to the earth. There's key things that if we do it properly and we do things practically, that there is going to be an amazing future for

our kids that are living in the city. There's going to be an amazing hope for the generations that are in our city, for those that are either on one side of the economic spectrum or the other, there's going to be a lot of opportunity. And we can see that if we all kind of get together behind this of saying, hey, times need to change.

are aware of crime. We're aware of the statistics. We know, like for example, over the Rhine is illustrated by that Patrick Herringer murder is up forty six percent or something. Here's what we're going to do about it.

this city has our back. If you have these strategies and you have these resources allocated properly, you're going to see short term effects, but also you're going to see a long term effective Over the course of ten years, you see our city going in the positive direction on crime and then as far as jobs goes. You know, it's one thing to just give out handouts, but it's another thing to say, hey, we have an open door policy.

We're going to be welcoming businesses, manufacturing, logistics, whatever, entry level jobs, whatever it might be. There's an entire west side of the city that has so much industrial potential and so much vacancy. Right now, you could be able to have some of the key businesses in America come to Cincinnati because we're within a five to six hour drive of sixty percent of America. So from a logistics and distribution standpoint, it makes sense to come to Cincinnati.

If the city has this open door policy of saying we want to help facilitate that growth, then all of a sudden, over the next ten years, you're going to start seeing development in that and that needs to be in tech, that needs to be in leading industries of AI and blockchain. These industries need to be able to say that Cincinnati is the central hub of the Midwest. We can actually replace Chicago as the business central hub.

If you're outside thinking, gosh, I can't vote for Corey, you can still help them out because whatever the City of Cincinnati does impacts the entire region, including my friends in northern Kentucky, you know, in the outer community Eric Counties as well.

which sounds remarkable. But all it took was a change of administration and change of policies with no action from Congress. But we're left with the aftermath, and of course that leads us to the protest going on in LA and elsewhere. ICE is just doing its job, right, Congressman. It's a federal law. They're merely there to enforce the federal law.

if I got sworn into office. That Democrats have said they're going to resist, and they're going to resist in the streets. And that's exactly what we're seeing now and in a lot of places, not just La Seattle, New York, lots of places.

they're allowed to do that. And when you stand in the way of them execusing their lawful function and entering places where these folks can be found and are found and throw rocks at them and assault them, that's when the National Guard gets called up. It isn't the National Guard showing up first, followed by a team of ICE agents. You and you invite the National Guard because of your your anti ice enforcement behavior. But then they try to say, oh my god, you know the Marines have shown up

because Donald Trump evil man or whatever. End of democracy. I mean, they throw these these terms and connections together, but they don't follow the order of reality. If you don't resist, they don't show up.

they can't help either. So it's very clear that the problem that was created in the last administration was very intentional. They worked very hard to spend a lot of political clout to give you all of these illegals here and they're gonna they're proven, they'll go to matt to keep them here. So that's what that's what we're our Ice officials and border patrol officials are now.

was a convenient way of doing it. And that's why I think they're fighting so hard to keep the illegal population from being deported.

This is this, this genda message that came during the Biden administration and somehow the entire world was filled with a bunch of right wing nazi activists. When every act of violence is committed by the likes of Antifi, the Black Lives Member, Black Lives Matter, Marxists, UH and so forth, the people who try to assassinate Donald Trump. There seems to be a pattern here, and it's not what the left wants us to believe.

they all called for action in the streets. And for all the rhetoric at defe that Democrats are currently ineffectual, apparently that call is being heard.

sensible Democrats. I mean, isn't it an odd situation, Congressman, when Fetterman turns out to be one of the more reasonable people in the Democrat Party.

I have friends and relatives who are Democrat voters. And now at the time they say, look, these people are not representing your views. Maybe you should consider your your your continuing support of them. If that's if they're going to continue to chase the very edge of the left.

a choice on it. So you're able to, i think, effectively siphon off a lot of people who would vote on that one issue over the Republican side, which is one of you know, greater freedoms and hopefully fiscal responsibility. Will see how the budget turns out. But you know, the more the great idea is that the Republican Party always had.

alone in our corners with that philosophy. But it's over on the Senate side now, and they made some proposals, one of which was kicking that forty thousand dollars salt increase down to back to ten and leaving it where it is, which I embrace completely. Where are you in terms of what the Senate has done and are you satisfied and would you embrace what the Senates changed? Where are you in the process, Congressman.

what the CBO scoring is usually looks like. But I'm I'm fine with the salt cap being dropped from forty to ten. It's going to be a contentious issue in the House with we have the narrow majority, and we have represented us from California and New York and there's places that are you know about about that, but they've we had Senator Marino and I had sponsored a bill about car interesting deductible on your income taxes and that's part of the end up being part of the big

beautiful bill. Now, one change that the Senate made there was, instead of making it applicable to all vehicles, is only applicable to new vehicles. I'd rather see that stay applicable to both. The increase the senior tax deduction. We were talking about, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security. Although sound good, but because of the Bird rule, I don't think it could be possible to do no tax on social Security. But the

House passed. The House version had a four thousand dollars credit for seniors. The Senate version looks like we've come back at around six thousand, which I'm fine, fine with. One thing that does bother me a little bit, And the Senate side is on the wind and solar subsidies. They're supposed to end those Green New Deal subsidies for those two sort of, at least in my district, not very welcome forms of renewable energy. But right we had a sixty day enactment of that in the House version,

and the Senate of a two year phase out. I'll have a significant problem with that, but by and large i'm I'm pleased with it, or they drop the endowment attack on these universities that have the multi billion dollar endowments from twenty one percent down to eight. I mean, obviously that remains to be negotiated, but by and large, I think they're a couple a little deeper in spots and they're loosing it up in other spots. And that's

kind of what we expected it. It's going to be a little give and take.

We've never done that for Israel. We exchange UH military technology. You know they were, they were a vital piece of the development of the F thirty five. The israelis worth so saravital ally we have to support them, but I don't want our servicemen and women in harms way and Iran. That's not our conflict. Good less the Congress votes to say it is fair enough.

Have we learned anything specifically about the cause, the nature of the crash, or anything else along those lines, Jay Ratliff.

problem at hand. The first black box they found was the flight data recorder. That's going to give them all the entry readings, all the headings, when things were changed, what was operational, what was malfunctioning. Those black boxes are going to be critical given the fact that we don't have sadly the flight crew to interview to talk to that type of thing with everybody but one soul on

board perishing, so that's important. The other thing that they were able to determine is apparently the RAM, the RAM

air turbine was deployed. This is a little propeller thing that is designed on these aircraft that if there's a power loss, it drops down in this propeller speed that turns it almost the speed of sound, and it provides some basic electrical power to the flight deck so that it is in essence, Yeah, how about that it was deployed and from some of the pictures, apparently it was down.

Now that's a critical piece of data because if we're interpreting that right, that would mean that they were experiencing some sort of a power issue, and that would make sense from the same point that you and I remember we're talking about why in the world was the landing gear down, because typically as the airplane takes off within fifty feet, they rotate, they come off the ground, and the gear is immediately retracted because then it becomes more

of an aerodynamic aircraft easier to take off. All that, although the fact if it was down doesn't mean that it would cause the airplane to crash, but if there was a hydraulic problem where they had engine power issues, you would not have the power required to retract the gear, So that might explain the fact that the crew is fighting some sort of a lack of power issue. So right now, that's kind of some of the leading thoughts,

And of course the investigation. Normally about a week to ten days after the black boxes are received, the investigative bodies will provide some sort of an initial update letting us know if the black boxes had any information, are they still going to be good to look at, and then about thirty days after we get another update, and then typically nothing until the final report eight to twelve

months out. So, with seventy nine airlines around the world using these Boeing Dreamliners a nearly twelve hundred of them flying around, if there's any sort of a mechanical concern, we need to find out what it is as quickly as we can, because you know you've got that. But you know, this isn't like a Boeing Max issue. This is not a new airplane that just rolled out with

a lot of new upgrades and software packages. This is an airplane that's been flown five million times more than a billion passengers over the last fourteen to fifteen years with no serious issues like this. So it's a completely different than what we had before. But you know, obviously some big concerns and we've got to find out what happened.

was no signs of aircraft distress. There wasn't any smoke coming out of the engines, no sparks, no flames, the things you would typically see if there was an ingestion of any kind that would cause the aircraft engine to start to malfunction. The engines apparently had no smoke or anything like that. And the other thing would be fuel contamination if you had water in the fuel or something like that that has happened before.

typically doesn't happen. And that's why the investigators are going to be you know, the Indian officials are going to be in charge, the National Transportation Safety Board and Boeing is going to be there to assist, and those investigators are going to try to do, like we say all the time, honor the lives of those that were lost by finding out what happened and brand I'm confident they will and we'll learn from it make aviation safer as

a result. But right now, there's no clear cut indication of what caused those engines to simply not provide the thrust that's required to get that airplane off the ground.

and that's certainly going to be good news. And of course the next question is going to be what are you finding out?

to support that they've learned. Because of how good they are, we're going to allow the evidence to dictate what we look at and look for the sequence of events that could have led to this type of tragedy taking place. And you know, when you have a so much video that captures this horristic event, it's on the mindset of so many people around the world, and you know, we want answers, and we want them now, but that takes.

its just no bring it on to yourself. Please leave, lease leave now. You don't see them flight against standing around sipping on coffee or drinking the water for a reason. And if you're not eating your breakfast and you want to google some of these images, you can. But I'm I do not cherry, and I will bring our coffee on board because I will not. I'm sorry, I will not.

introduce a random element to the screening. Every so often a passenger is pulled out for that additional screening, and there's a purpose for it, and when it happens to Terry Bradshaw becomes a viral moments.

They look at customer service, maintenance, the age of fleet, that so many things.

a year, whatever it happens to be. You see Delta and American and I believe United who have changed their upgrade procedures. I'm getting so many emails from people of Delta saying, Jay, I'm a freaking flyer. I normally can upgrade from coach to first class. I'm now boarding flights being told I can't be putting for and there's five empty seats in first class because now Delta and others are like, well, you either need to burn miles or pay for that seat. They're ticking off their frequent flyers

and they do not care. And that's the reason that when you take a lot of these customer service rankings that there's no US airline that ever ever makes the top twenty. Well from the world standpoint, which you know, we should be in the top ten. We should be dominating some of these things, and we never are. I couldn't agree more but your service.

But you know, these days, it's not it's a cattle call, it's black Friday, it's they shove you on the airplane load factors. You know, thirty years ago, forty fifty percent of the airplane was full. That it's eighty to ninety five percent of the plane's full. You've got people trying to carry on more bags than ever, and they swing them in the aisle, taking out two or three passengers at a time, and it's it's so frustrating that some people say, Jay, I just don't want to fly anymore

because of the hassle. We'll take extra time and we'll drive.

And when I look at them now talking about how you know they want to provide the best service public, No, they don't. It's a profit oriented business. I understand that, and they're going to treat us any way that they feel like.

But obviously, if you're going to be going through either of those two hubs, get to the airport early just in case there are any problems with your high tenory gives them, the agents a chance to address any problems in six some well in advance.
