Five o five.
A fiftivet KRC DE talk station, Friday eight.
Some say.
The song's becoming truer and truer. Vacation.
I'm the dude man.
Always commented, we should read the word the lyrics to that song anima by tool learned to swim. Anyhow, I hope you have a decent day so far. If you're reading the news, you're probably not. But if you'd like to call in, I welcome phone calls five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty eight hundred eight two three Taco with pound five fifty on eight and t phones. Brian Thomas right here.
Joe Trekorey belongs right there in the Executi producer booth and lined up a great show today, including Dave Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Lines. Dave joins the program at seven oh five. Are we pursuing free or fair trade? Question mark? The answer no is right there, okay. Dave will fill in the blanks on that one. Coming up at seven oh five, what is the remittance tax? And finally food stamp fraud? And we know there's a lot of fraud wasts in abuse in government. It's everywhere. Bob
Wetter or we got a tower lighting ceremony. He's going to be talking about that. I think that's uh. That's coming up this weekend the new water tower lights in Mount Washington. So they finally got the lights back. I guess anyway, details from Bob that'll come up at seven forty. Scott Warman from the Cincinnion choirer AFTAB prov all met with the widow Sarah Herringer. We know about that. Why was AFTAB five find a whopping fifty dollars? And what's
going on with this? Since your fire department, which recently released a survey, the fire fighters are not happy. I think I can boil the entire survey down with that brief comment. So there's that, and then finally, of course, it's Thursday, the pleasure of company iHeartMedia aviation expert Jay Ratliff. We have stories about a Florida based airlines shutting down telling passengers to stay at home. Boeing celebrating a great month of sales. There's a positive information, not a Boeing.
That's interesting. Airlines selling our personal and travel information to the Department of Homeland Security as well as other government agencies. There's a troubling component, right there plus hub delay is always find out what the air travel situation is going to be like with Jay Rattliffe over the block page. But you have Curiosy dot com get you try heart mediap so you can stream the content, listen to the
conversations and the blog page. Judge Enteropolitano Taylor Gray with his book Forged in Chaos for military folks out there and families of military members are struggling with well life
after service, which can be quite challenging. Tyler Gray was apparently just twenty four to seven adrenaline field given the type of work he did, Delta Force, behind the scenes, explosive operations, kicking indoors, that kind of stuff, and he found life extraordinarily difficult after he got out of the service, struggle with substance abuse and relationship issues and everything, and he had to sort of challenge himself and engage in a tremendous amount of introspection to figure out why he
was so unsettled and unhappy. He wrote about it in an effort to help other veterans dealing with their challenges. So right there a great opportunity to help yourself or help a friend or family member who's struggling with that Congressman Thomas Massey on what he needs from the Senate in order to vote for the big beautiful bill. It was a good conversation with Congressman Massey, it always is.
So there you have it. He went to the Save our Salary rally and Columbus, I'd love to hear from you as well over to something I find very troubling and very bizarre reflective of the current state of politics. Of course, Hamilton County prosecutor County Pillage so disturbed by this.
Now.
Of course you probably heard the no Kings protests taking place fifteen hundred cities all across the United States. What they're protesting, I don't know. Basically, it's Trump. This is just an extension of the Trump derangement syndrome. You know, the inflation numbers are down. They're actually wonderful inflation numbers. That's going well. Jobless claims are down. I mean, we still have unemployment rate of four point two percent, price of fuels down. I mean, all the economic indicators are
looking very good. As of right now. Things are going well. I mean, with the exception of your perception of immigration and whether or not you think Donald Trump is handling it well. I mean, the polling numbers reflect that most people are supportive of his efforts to at least get rid of murderers, rapists, and killers and folks of that ilk who are here illegally. You may take issue with the Trump's sending in the National Guard, but someone had
to protect the Ice officers. The Los Angeles Police Department wasn't doing it. There's widely reported that Ice officers who are under tax sought help from the LAPD, and they had a hunker down for two hours before they showed up. We've got someone now being prosecuted for attempted murder, guy who threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement officers. Mostly peaceful protests, though don't believe your own eyes. Cars being torched,
hundreds of businesses are being looted. There was a story in the Wall Street Journal this morning about the economic impact that it's having on various areas within Los Angeles. The stores, no one's showing up, people are not coming in, the stores are being looted, Graffiti everywhere, And what does looting have to do with your position on immigration? But
this no King's protest, any golden over. It's the Enquirer just doing a lot of promotion work to get people to show up, organized by activist group Indivisible and its partners, and and and and and wonder what about the partners because there's more and more information coming out about how well funded these organized are, these protests are. This isn't an organic grass roots response. You know what an organic grassroots response is the petition drive to save Hyde Park Square.
You know, when when you when you ignore the will and the and the demands of the citizenry as an elected official, sometimes the citizens pop up and say, you know what, We're going to circulate a petition and undo the nonsense that you've done to us. And that organized grassroots petition went around. They got enough vote, so they are going to at least be able to vote on whether or not they can determine their own fate in
High Park, unlike what's going on now. And many are suggesting, and many are saying, follow the money trail in connection with these riots that are going on, that they were coordinated, they were planned in advance. And this does not shock me at all. I mean, you can sound conspiratorial when you make these when you draw the connect these dots.
But you know, it's like, the minute Ice shows up, here's what we're going to do, providing an opportunity for folks to break things and burn things to the ground and throw molotov cocktails at law enforcement officers. So I don't know what's going to become of the No King's protest. I really have just conceptually nationwide day of defiance, and they never fully articulate what they're going to be out defying. Are they said about the current state of the economy.
Is this a promotion for illegal immigrants to let them stay in our country, including the criminal element among them? What is the protest the work requirement and medicaid which hasn't gone into the law yet. But I mean, I'm just throwing things out there that you'll make the news and provide division between the two party system we have and among individuals. So just get out there to defy and back to Countie Pillach. And she had the audacity to post this on social media her own account. She's
the Hamilton County prosecutor. What's the Hamilton County prosecutor's job to prosecute criminals or accuse criminals? Anyway, We've got a problem in the city of Cincinnati. I mean, yeah, we all found out connect with this stabbing that made the news that folks with ankle monitors really aren't being monitored. And when the folks responsible for monitoring those with ankle
monitors don't even bother reporting the local law enforcement. When someone has cut their ankle monitor off and is not there and accountable where he's supposed to be living in a halfway house, that's a problem. But what's on my mind, she writes, what's on my mind? My job is to prosecute people who commit crimes at least, she accurately stated
her role, from minor infractions to horrible offenses. But all this is against a backdrop of such unconstitutional lawlessness at the federal level by an incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated jackal who threatens our varied democracy every day. Well, of course, she's referring to the President of the United States of America. Even worse, she writes, he is backed up by vile humans whose acts and advice indicate they want to destroy our democracy. Please join me Saturday with a link to
the No King's nationwide Day of Defiance. Hamilton County prosecutor County Village. HM. Well, it's quite revealing anyway. I actually, you know, sort of appreciate her willingness to come out and reflect the state of mind that she has. I love free speech for that reason alone. You know where the problems are when people utter such crap and nonsense.
And I appreciate Dan Hills that would support the Blue and since any former FOP president, Dan Hill served his community as a police officer for years and years and years. He wrote on Facebook, for the love of God, Connie, you are an attorney and the county prosecutor. The United States of America is a republic, not a democracy. I love when people point that out, because, of course, Connie Pillis apparently has no concept of the destruction of democracy.
We don't live in democracy anyway. Your party did everything it could to destroy our republic by opening the borders and encouraging the violation of immigration laws. You are supposed to be Hamilton County's central figure in keeping the rule of law. I barely got a high school diplomba, but you make me feel highly educated. A bit of self
deprecation there from Dan Hills. Our previous prosecutor would never have said anything like this about the senile dude who was in the White House, despite her likely being dismayed by his incompetence. You don't say dot dot dot, you know the word he's referring to, like this in your position, grow up, thank thank goodness. I Dan Hills moved to Warren County, which was my wife's reaction after the election results came in from Hamilton County this past fall. We
need to get out of Hamilton County. I'm I'm just overwhelmed and dismayed by this. I mean Connie Pillage. We all know she's from the left chunk of cloth, but her position is supposed to be one of neutrality as a prosecutor of people who commit crimes from minor infractions and horrible offenses, not as a leftist political advocate. But
she'll be there. Five seventeen five, eighteen five and three seven fifty eight hundred eight two three talkco Town five fifty on eighteen defends love to get your reaction to that for you give me a callee right by KCD talk station Happy Friday, eighteen. Oh look, all is right with the world If I won three seven two three Talk Pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Tom, good to hear from you today as always.
Yeah, good morning. I literally just called in a minute ago. So you guess you were getting a little worried looking at the call stream.
Were you put out an APB? Tom's not on the phone.
Oh, we can't have that.
That's the.
Uh, yeah, I gotta I'm not really sure about this whole golden ticket thing. I literally just got in my car a few minutes ago, So I don't know if you touched on this, but I had a Trump Golden ticket. I mean, look, I know he's a showman. We understand that about him, and it's you know, he likes to brag and and you know, put his name and picture on things. Okay, I get it and all, but you're you're you're flouting the citizenship of the United States of America.
I'm not really sure that I like the idea of here you go, if you pay a bunch of money, and we'll put you to the front of line and correct me if I'm wrong. That's basically what's going on, right that.
The gist of it is, Yeah, if you've got five million dollars, obviously you're not going to be coming in and putting yourself under the social welfare safety net or mooching off the American taxpayer. You obviously have enough, you can take care of yourself, and you are buying your way in though. And I'm I don't. I don't agree with the concept personally.
No, And you know, and I immediately think about the people who will have gone through or are going through all the necessary hoops and stuff, yeah, to become a citizen in the United States, And what do they think, you know, well, wait a minute, if I had five million dollars, I could have skipped all this. I just I don't that's not fair.
You know.
Look, there's some things that hey, you want to put up for sale, whatever, But the citizenship of this country, especially with every that we've been talking about the last eight ten years, and how valuable it is and how precious it should be considered, and how much trouble people should be going through instead of sneaking across the border or get to stump in the back of a truck or whatever. I just I don't like. This is not a good look. I don't like this idea.
I agree, and those who go through the normal legal immigration process are required to take civics lessons and learn about the Constitution and the laws and norms of the United States of America.
I don't know.
I haven't heard anything about whether it just bringing five million dollars to the table buys you around that obligation. Is there any investigation into where that money came from? Could a drug cartel lord with five ten gazillion dollars under his in his pocket participate in the program like that? Evil oligarchs from around the world, maybe a couple of Russian five million dollar yacht owners or things like that. I don't know, but conceptually I think it's a bad idea.
It sounds bad, The optics are bad. And I'm with you one hundred percent, Tom on that one ohays cell phone dropped. Hey Tom, I got you covered. Don't vote It just got the SoundBite to cover that. I don't know how you're going to parlay and attack on Trump's policy there into a don't vote Democrat. But nonetheless, let's see here. University of Cincinnati sent an alert yesterday saying the police had to respond to a shooting near its campus.
Connie Pillage alert went out of eight twenty five, saying police responding to emergency at Calhoun Street two forty nine Calhoun Street to shelter in place since the police department, speaking with Fox nineteen at the scene, said the thirty year old man was shot in the chest and is in critical condition only one. Police said they have one person in custody related to the shooting, not yet clear what led to it and no details on the person
in custody. Hometown hero program and Newport recently got some unwanted online attention after some of the banners honoring military members were taken down. Fox nineteen's Brenda or Donnaz reporting growing weightless challenged by limited space. According to city Manager John Hayden, they're adjusting the Hometown Heroes banner program that
started last year. According to Hayden, when the first ceremony came this year, we removed just enough to put those new ones, and as the second came in, other ones came down, and that's the cycle they go on. Among the banners recently came down, Jean Edward Wagner. His niece Marcia Herringer, said Wagner nineteen was nineteen when he and seventy seven other Navy sailors were lost serving on the USS Pompino. Herringer said, I can understand needing to represent
other veterans. There's not room, there's not a pulse for everyone to be represented at the same time. According to Mayor Hayden, they said they need to meet three requirements high visibility, proper infrastructure, and city own which creates limitation on where they can place these banners as your local stories.

Very Happy Friday EVE to you relay and what I thought was a rather mind blowing fact.
My son was out actually doing some dogs sitting for my wife's niece out in California, and they have a placed some outside of San Diego, so they flew him out there just for the sole purpose of watching their dogs. Kind of a vacation for him away from work, and that was okay. He went to the San Diego Zoo on his birthday. Joe, how much do you think it costs get into San Diego Zoo? Oh, well, you're over right, it was. It was actually seventy Joe, guest one hundred.
You're in the right ballpark, though, I guess forty seventy dollars and one beer a single beer was twenty dollars. That's your underboss, right anyway. They said everything was outrageously expensive out there anyway, this tradition, amen, brother. Hey, I got an article about the inflation data, which is great, and then there's a separate article about inflation is much higher in Democrat states and lower in Republican states. Anyways,
that can do. A man struggled with a DoorDash driver DoorDash driver who showed up at the guy's home last month and who police said was armed with a gun, demanding a tip for a grocery delivery he made the
day before. Just a thank you, Joe. Anthony Veolino said his daughter ordered one hundred dollars groceries to their home through door Dash, using a snap card to pay next morning, Belena said he was sitting down for breakfast with his daughter and grandchildren when they heard a knock at the door. Daughter got up to see who it was. The man at the door said he was the DoorDash driver from the day before and forgot to get his cash tip.
Fellina said he could hear the confusion and his daughter's voice and got up to see what was going on. He said his daughter told the driver she did not have cash, but that she would go online to send him a tip. Apparently, when you pay with Snap, you can leave a tip. Isn't Snap food stamps Joe, So the American taxpayer is paying for his food stamp delivery and tips as well. Velena said the situation only escalated
from there. He said the driver, identified but police's fifty nine year old Robert Delahant, stepped into the doorway refusing to leave without getting money. Felena put his arm up in the way and things got physical. Struggle, of course captured on security camera. Lena has said, as we tussled, you know, at that point he said, oh, it's going to be like that, and he reached behind him. When I saw him reach behind him, I knew he was going for some kind of weapon. I wasn't going to
wait to find out what the weapon was. I reached around him and ripped a handgun out of his waistband. As soon as I had my hand on the gun, as I stated previously, my heart just sank. Camera footage captured what followed. A push sent the man to the ground. Velina got ahold of the gun in the front yard, told the man to leave, and told his daughter to call the police. Officers arrested this Delahant guy shortly thereafter.
No one was hurt, thankfully, he said. Since this incident happened, I found several incidents online door dash delivery driver's assaulting people Detroit last year in Houston. I keep finding these stories online. I haven't seen anything done about it as it continues to happen. DoorDash fired the driver after the incident. G thank you, and apparently DoorDash is not reached out
to Velina about what happened. Say he plans to improve security at his home and encourages others using delivery service to do the same.
Yeah, idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Thank you, Eric, Eric, just send me this and message damn my son works security at the San Diego Zoo. I could have hooked him up. Gotta know these things in advance, Eric, if he plans on going back, I'll give you a shout thanks.

This Thursday morning.
One exception, well, I spound two seventy five, an accident near Loveland has the right fling blocked off. Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station.
Five fifty e eighty five KRC DE talk Station Happy Thursday. I had some pretty uh I got to get it out of my mind about hotel rooms and you know, the the questionable sanity in a hotel room in the context of a state banning the use of individual shampoo bottles, so now they're going to replace those with larger bottles with a pump, so multiple people have access to the contents of the of whatever's being dispensed, whether it's soap
or shampoo conditioner, that kind of thing, lotion. Relate a story about one of my fraternity brothers being a prankster and filling his roommate's shampoo bottle with I believe it was dishwashing detergent which made his hair like straw. So just one of the things that can be adultered in a hotel room. And with that in mind, I was reminded of the pool bar and put In Bay when I saw this article that Joe had found for the stack of stupid put In Bay pool Bar. You know
you're waist deep in. There's a bar right there, and oddly enough, as I was there, I noticed how the chlorine smell was overwhelming, and my brown with Hawaiian yellow flowered swim trunks actually faded there was so much chlorine in the pool. I also noticed very few people actually use the restrooms there at the pool bar.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
And with that we pivot over to article from Dayton, Ohio Local twelve. Thank you. More than half Americans say they use swimming pools as bath tubs, a statistic doctor Premier with Premiere Health says can put you at a health risk. Doctor Essa Alapat, chlorine is meant to kill all the germs, she said. Diluting chlorine with added germs makes it less effective. You know where I'm going. Apparently you know the chlorine smell the greechy when you walk
up into the pool. Doctor Alipat said, I had something rather unsettling quote. The odor that you smell in a public pool is not the chlorine, but it's the chlorine reacting with all the urine in the pool, a lot of it, she said. To forty percent of adults admit to urinating in the pool On average. She said there is one to three ounces per person in the pool. Is the water safe question mark? Doctor Alipet said most of the bacteria from the urine is killed with a
few seconds. Bacteria from the other area can take up to seven days to be killed. Means great as we enter hot and human conditions. Tattoo artist in Illinois Peoria facing charges after reportedly sending explicit messages to miners in exchange for tattoos. What owner of Ink Capital in the shops of Grand Prarie, Mario Davis, arrested earlier this week charged with grooming, indecent solicitation of a child, disorderly conduct.
Pure Police say that the investigation sarning Davis started in February after a concerned pro reported explicit messages being sent to a minor. Search executed by police officers confirmed the messages were from this Davis disorderly conduct added to his charges after he filed a false police report and connection with the investigation. He's been accused before of training a listed pictures of minors four tattoos. Police have not revealed
the details surrounding the recent charges. They are in line though with previous claims, including a woman who came forward and stated that she went to Davis for a tattoo when she was fifteen because she didn't know would require pronal permission. The woman said the appointment book took a negative turn when Davis allegedly wouldn't take no foreign answer
and he raped her. Same woman claim. Same woman claimed that several years later, Davis created fake social media profile and reached back out to her asking for sexual favors in exchange for tattoo work. There's some twisted people in the world. Oregon man fatally shot a mother of five children at a drum circle event. Happened back in twenty twenty two, now been convicted by a jury after a
one hour of deliberations. Molmau County District Attorney's Office announced that Wyatt Storm Belcher twenty eight sentence by a judge of money to life in prison with the possibility of parl after twenty five years. Convicted by a jury of second degree murder after jurors deliberated for an hour, as I mentioned, found guilty of fatally shooting Ash Smith, thirty one year old mom who was attending a drum circle event in Portland. Documents stated that after the crowd was
gathered for the drum circle began to disperse. Multiple witnesses heard allowed bang, saw the woman identified as Smith fall to the ground. Onlookers say they rendered aid to her, but who had a gunshot wound to the back of her neck. Press release in the local district attorney. While Smith didn't deserve Wyatt Belcher's senseless ambush, he did deserve the compassion that the witnesses on the scene showed her
during her final moment. Port and police located Belcher after several witnesses gave them a description of the gunman, who still had the gun on him when they found him. DA said his press release that Belcher racked the slide on his gun and asked the Smith was dead, then asked the witness if he wanted to be shot as well. They say it was a completely random act.
Man.
Of all the places in the world you think you might feel safe, isn't it a hippie drum circle five fifty five coming up a five fifty six fifty five KR site talk station plenty to talk about in the six o'clock hour. Moving away from the stack is stupid, almost relieved to do so. After those stories, please feel free to call me back after the news.

Important issues that are facing this country On.
Fifty five krs The talk station, Baseball Fan six fifty five krs The talk Station. I hope you're having any very happy Thursdays. Stick around, got good take good show lined up, thanks for Judge Strucker executive it is er Dave Williams tax payer protection lines. Are we pursuing free trade? Free aer fair trade? It says no, So I guess we know what Day's gonna say, but he'll put some flesh on the bones of that. Coming up in an hour,
what is the remittance tax and food stamp fraud? Interestingly enough, thanks to the stack of stupid, I apparently just found out that you can use your snap card not only have door dash delivered and pay for the groceries, but also for tips. We got to get to the bottom of that one. Joe Bob Wetter a tower lighting ceremony. He'll be on at seven forty to talk about that. Scott Wartman from the Cincinnie Choirer aft TAB met with
Sarah Henninger. Why was AFTAB fined fifty dollars, and what is going on with the Cincinni Fire Department whose morale is apparently down thanks to a survey it was just recently released. And of course it being Thursday, I heard me the aviation expert Jay Rattler with a variety of topics coming up at eight thirty five, one three, seven, four, nine fifty five, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk go with pound five fifty on your T and T phones to the phones.
We go.
Always enjoy hearing from what's said. Jim, good to hear from you.
Jim, good morning, Brian. By the way, elections have consequences. And when you're talking about Connie privilege, I mean pillage. Jeez, I got the names mixed up there, didn't I. I think what she was doing was basically inviting people Saturday to not have any issues if they get arrested locally, that they're basically going to give the revolving door and there won't be any consequences if there's any kind of a problem downtown or on the outlining areas on that
national basically an event to go against Trump and immigration. Yeah, I think that she is basically sending a signal She's about the most incompetent person that I've seen in politics for a long long time. And to come out and open up her pie hole on something like this for a subject and not she didn't even have the guts to mention his name.
Well, I don't think there's any question she was referring to Trump, right, But is the is the no King's dating nationwide Day of Defense, which she's going to be participating in. Is encouraging people to show up on Is it about Donald Trump? Is it about illegal immigration? Is it about medicaid cuts? I mean, what the hell is it about? They never really specifically identify anything. Or is it about every leftist agenda item, including you know, global
warming or climate change and all that LGBTQ plus agenda. Yeah, if you're pissed off, show up.
She's opened up a giant pot and and anything that she could throw in there rather than make a lengthier subject on Facebook on her her personal account, by the way, yeah, shows how ignorant she really is. I mean, you know, basically, like I said, she's just opening up the fact that you can come down or go out wherever these are health and if you break a window, take a TV or take some gym shoes or now it's cell phones and everything else, that you're not going to be prosecuted.
Do you think that's the case, because I think it's the case.
Well, you know, the funny thing is, and you know people just tuning into like what the hell are they talking about? Let me just real quick, Jim, because you got more to say. Let me just read the statement because it's not very long, but it is insightful. What's on my mind. My job is to prosecute people who commit crimes, from minor infractions to horrible offenses, which I'll pause and interject him suggests that if you do commit a violent act I don't know, King's nationwide day of defiance,
she will hold you accountable. That remains to be seen, because of course the event hasn't happened yet. We'll see if it's peaceful or mostly peaceful. Anyway, she went on, and here's the part that we all have offence with,
or any sane person would. But all this is against the backdrop of such unconstitutional lawlessness at the federal level by an incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated jackal who threatens our very democracy every day, even worse, he is backed up by vile humans whose acts and advice indicate they want to destroy our democracy. Please join me Saturday, talk about divisive talk about stirring the pot.
Well, maybe she threw that federal word in her by mistake, but I think she was just talking about the local politics that's sung in cheek Pine.
I know that I'm sitting here thinking, wait a second, is there a Republican in Hamilton County? No, not anymore, at least not an elected capacity.
When I read that thing and I sent it to you, I didn't know if you saw it before I sent it to you, it just it amazed me that we, not we the people on the left for the most part, elected somebody over Melissa Hours who would have never ever written something this idiotic and childish. It just it just it really pos me off that that we have to have, you know, anywhere from four to eight years of somebody like this that's going to prosecute we're not the same as some of the judges.
Yeah or not, that's the best term right there.
We'll find out Saturday. I don't know, you know, Mark Twain, with that Cincinnati ten years behind, we might see protests a week later than usual because the word might not get out, and I don't I really don't think the people here in town are gonna, you know, get together. You might, you might see the same bunch of loons down there of twenty four people sitting in front of city hall at a courthouse, But other than that, I don't think they're going to see any kind of a
mass demonstration by you know, the people in Cincinnati. I think she's just trying to jet up so there would be a lot.
Of on the national news.
Maybe it's for her self campaign down the road. I have no idea why she would do something this stupid.
I don't either, but the the leftist obviously have her ear, and she is in a position of prominence, so her support of this. Perhaps she was egged on to make some sort of statement in an effort to get more people to show up to these rallies. But you know, you're right about about people showing up, and it's interesting because they're all over the place in downtown Union Township, lovel and Mason West Sister or Hamilton, Middletown, UH and Oxford.
I just wonder, you know, given the number, the percentage of people who are likely to show up at one of these. It's I kind of like my point on out in LA with it with a greater LA community of twelve point seven million, almost thirteen million people, you have several thousand show up. That's a very small segment of the population. But they were all in one concentrated
area going after the ice folks. Now, if you have a multiple of these, no King's rally spread out all over the place, maybe not one of them will look like anybody's interested in going because the numbers are watered down. Which one you're going to go to. I'm going to go to the one in Cincinnai. I'm going to go to the one in the Middletown. So the total number of people spread out over you know, eight ten locations may water down the optics they're hoping for. Oh no, I don't know, Jim.
Well. The last thing on this is, I don't know if something would happen and it would be a skirmish and say a police officer or any any first responder would get hurt on this deal and it would happen to hit national news. Now that this goes in every city, I wonder if she can be you know, I don't want to say prosecuted, because she'd be doing that herself, of course, and that's a tongue in cheek laughter there, but she'd be inciting the fact that she's inviting people to do.
This and kind of one of these things.
There's no prosecutable offense in saying what she said. It's just an illustration of how stupid she is, because that's the point of free speech, as long as there's an opportunity for additional speech to happen, and in between the what you might perceive to be illegal speech or prohibited speech that allows for that to happen. It's like going back to the Brandenburg case and made it to the
Supreme Court from here in Hamilton County. You got a racist KKK member talking about killing black people and he was prosecuted for it, when all the way up to the Supreme Court, and Supreme Court pointed out, no, you got a First Amendment right to say whatever you want, as terrible and vile as it may be, as long as there's an opportunity for the public to talk about it, communicate with it, and sort of negate what you might
argue is an imminent threat. What she says is just an attack on basically Donald Trump and the people who work with him. It's not a call for violence. I know that she's inciting it. She is inviting people to show up at these events where things get out of control. I mean, Nancy Pelosi pointed out, you know, you get anarchists who view these rallies as an opportunity to engage in violence. That's the point, and that's exactly your point
about someone in law enforcement getting hurt. What they're looking for is the reverse of that. They want law enforcement to hurt someone that is so called activists or exercising the right to free speech. That's what incites the violence, and that's what they feed off of, see George Floyd. So as long as law enforcement doesn't hurt anybody in the group and only goes after people who are committing
criminal acts, then you don't have that problem. What they're looking for is an excuse to really riot in the streets in the name of going after the evil, vile law enforcement, which is ultimately an act against the status quo. It's an act against the stability of our nation, which is you know, as one commentator pointed out, a Bolshevik style revolution is what's happening right now.
Incredible, That's that's the only word I can think of for something like how stupid this thing is. And again I started out with elections have consequences. Well, here's the main topic right now. And she's just getting started. It's just going to get worse because, like I said, she's just incompetent and she doesn't know what the hell she's doing.
Well, I firmly believe that. But isn't it so sad Jim in a comment on elections having consequences that she didn't even run a campaign. She pulled a total Joe Biden, didn't go out, didn't campaign, and she just realized that Listen, Hamilton County is all full blue. Now, all I need to do is put my name on the ballot. I've got a recognizable name for my prior time in politics. I'll get elected.
I say it.
It is said.
To get works on that one. I mean, we don't hold any offices, and we've we've got people that actually, you know, sign up to go out and get elected, but it just doesn't just doesn't work anymore. I'm close enough to see the fights that we try to do and when on election day comes around that blue ticket. Just people were just taking those and going right down the line.
I know it, I know it. I mean I keep praying and hoping, maybe against hope, that sometime at some point people will wake up. Democrats have been in controlled the city since for about four decades now, and look where it's gotten us. You know it's not vote Corey Bowman. He's got an uphill battle, man exactly, He's got an uphill battle. Take care of Jim. I appreciate the opportunity to engage in discourse with you, which is the beauty
of free speech. And I would argue to vite of the fifty five caresy morning, shure, we'll engage in free speech with William. William, if you're kind enough to hold for a moment here, I want to let function know about every federal credit union.

No nobody to get to buy liberty is blocked up between Walnut and vun That dude to police activity. Chuck Ingram on fifty five kr Sea Deep Talk Station.
SHY six twenty three. If you have krcity Talk station goes straight to the phones five one, three, seven two three talk. Thank you William for holding over the break. Welcome to the morning show.
Hi, good morning, my fellow FOMA survivor's friend.
Thank you very much you having Oh got sorry, no, just go ahead. I don't need to interject my comments. I want to hear what you have to say, William.
Sorry, Oh well, I don't know if you discussed this already, but I was wondering about the post law and the Marines in Los Angeles. Have you mentioned that at all?
Uh?
Theres a pollitano without mentioning posse comment Tatis kind of hit on it the other day during our discussion about the propriety of sending in the National Guard because they're not there to enforce state law, and I think he was kind of dancing around the idea that's what they were doing, but no, they were there to protect ice agents and federal property. So I was drawing a distinction
and making an argument against what his conclusions were. And so that if you want to listen to that podcast, I encourage people to do so, because I thought was an interesting back and forth. We he and I didn't agree ultimately, but we didn't specifically focus on the Marines and possecommatatus William, but his legitimate argument. Okay, well, oh happy to William. Stick to the fight, Stick to that fight,
and uh, you know, to Timothy. Timothy has sent me this interesting text on the heels of Connie Pillach's and me, you know, rereading what her just vile statement he said, if counter demonstrators show up at these No Kings nationwide day of Defiance and a kerfuffle ensues his words, I can only imagine that the Maga folks will be arrested and not the No King's crowd. Considered the Facebook post from Connie Pillage, would that not be evidence of prosecutorial bias?
Now it is evidence of prosecutor prosc bias potentially, But looking at the individual act, if a Maga person actually committed a criminal act that would result in arrest or issuance of a citation and prosecution, that incident exists in and of itself. You go to court, you get a lawyer, and you are in front of a jury or a judge, and the trier of fact decides whether or not the prosecutor has met all the elements of a crime and
whether there's guilty on a reasonable doubt. Now that would exist whether or not she's pro Maga or anti Maga. So you can't hold up her statement in that court room and say, look, this is bias. And you can try to make the argument, well, they didn't arrest this person or that person, because those all those facts regard whether or not there was arrest exist independently. Do they constitute a crime that should have resulted in a citation.
You know, there's a whole lot of complicated layers going on into that, but ultimately, any prosecution for a criminal act must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. So are there facts and elements there to prove someone did a criminal act? All I would say is listen, if you're there, don't do anything that could result in your arrest. Period.
Don't give them an opportunity. They're looking and hoping and praying that law enforcement overreacts, that there is an arrest, or someone gets hurt by law enforcement, so they can use that as a further effort to go out and riote and protest in the street. So I would just say a call for calm, which I would say, in all circumstances, you can make your voice heard without engaging
in acts of violence. And most notably, I'm considering the last Justice Department talked about all this right wing violence and oh my god, the terrorism. They called every single January sixth protester a terrorist, and given that there were fifteen hundred or so of those there, that allowed them to boost their numbers of so called right wing terrorists.
Now you are your own conclusion as to whether that was an act of terrorism entering the Capitol building or walking around after being invited to come in by the federal authorities who were standing there, or the Capitol police. But I think the reality is, at least in the perception of hearts and minds of most of my listening audience and me included, is that most of the violence is coming from either one absolutely backcrap crazy people or
leftist of some sort. I mean who through the molotov cocktail. The police department now facing charge of attempted murder an illegal immigrant in our country at a rally protesting the deportation of illegal immigrants. Now categorize that as you will. But the motive is obvious, and the act of violence is obvious, and it wasn't a right wing motivation. Six twenty seven, Jay, hang on, I take your call please. Uh First, so affordable imaging services. I was there just
two days ago. Got another CT scan. Yeah, my night sweats are back, so I know what's going to happen. I'm gon end up in treatment. But the CT scan will confirm or not the status of my lymph nodes in connection with my lymphoma. So that's what you do. You go and you get one, and you don't go to the hospital to do it because the hospital is going to charge you five thousand dollars or maybe a separate bill for the Board certified radiologist report, which your
doctor needs. Somebody's got to interpret the images I did. It's basically mine was two separate CT scans, so my total was twelve hundred bucks. I had contrasts, so there's six hundred dollars as scan, same equipment to the hospital you use, run by medical professionals who have been at this for years and years and years. So your ultrasound can cost you two grand at a hospital, it's only two hundred and fifty bucks. Affordable imaging echo cardiogram. Go ahead,
wait around for a month. This is your hearted issue. Here, they'll get you right in and affordable and it's only five hundred dollars with that. An enhancement eight hundred fifth could cost you thirty five hundred to a hospital, So don't do that. Very low overhead, but everything else is basically exactly the same as you get at the hospital.

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 well 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.

Six Happy Thursday. A lot of rumors swirling around on the internet. How did the bricks get delivered to the protest out in La Are the bricks being delivered to the other protest going on against the illegal immigration or deportation. Jay, thanks for holding Welcome to the Morning Show.
Hey, thanks Brian, perfect timing about the bricks being delivered. And you know, here we go again, and it's all a little too scripted for my.
Case, orchestrated.
Yes, So I think that there's a really good chance that our side could also get involved with the No King's rally and go down there and put scripts in their hands, give them signs that say something like end the interstate commerce clause and judicial review and rogue judges, you know, go after the three billion dollars slush fund that the wine has up in Columbus that nobody knows how it's funded, nobody knows what he's going to spend it on. But there's you know, no way to lower
property taxes. So I think we could get a hold of that crowd that's bought and paid for and probably not all that educated, and infiltrate it. And I don't think it would take much effort at all to get them chanting and moving in the right direction, you know. Other than the bricks, we've got to try to get the bricks out of their hand. But I think our side is for no judges too. We just got to help them get the messaging right.
Yeah, you know, the only problem is you mentioned, and I think the key to all this is that they're not well educated. They're not capable of applying logic in reason and thoughtful critical analysis to the to the causes they are supporting. And there in lies the challenge. If you show up with logic and reason and you try to explain to them why X, Y or Z is wrong and why the Republicans or Trump or at least a little libertarian folks like myself are on the right
side of the ledger. That's going to require an engaging, thoughtful discussion. You're not going to get them to do that. You're not. You're going to be screamed that.
These are just zombies.
Brian.
That's even tempt at I would hang a sign around their neck, but you don't put the sandwich board on them and point them in the right direction, because that's all that They're there for a paycheck. So you doe if Arsas side shows up like we're in charge and tell them what to say and what sign to wear.
I just wonder if they'd do it.
I think they would without any question.
I'm not going to suggest it's a bad idea for a moment. I'm just telling you got a sisaphy and challenge in doing it, because again you need to it requires thoughtful debate and discussion. And they're just going to scream and call you names. They're not willing to listen. I mean, I've seen so many of these protests, and I've engaged with so many people who immediately default to anger,
curse words and yelling and screaming. It's like a child holding holding his ears closed and going they don't want to hear it.
Yeah, they're just paid actors.
Cognitive dissonance part of them are those are the coordinators, and they're probably more educated and more familiar with their Marxist loyalties than the useful idiots that will show up without a paycheck to parrot their nonsense. A lot of people being controlled out there, there's no question about it. And social media is a huge component of this, Jay, a massive component of this. Without social media, you wouldn't see a lot of these protests. Just easy to organize
useful idiots these days. I appreciate it, Jay, I really, and I'm not against your concept. I'm just pointing out it's an uphill battle. This is something we've been talking I mean, I've been talking about this kind of stuff for this is nineteen years on radio. Hasn't done any good for the Hamilton County folks, has it?

If it's about KRCD talk station. Try to have a Happy Friday Eve. Dave Williams and the Taxpayer Protection line so up up at the top of the our news, followed by Bob Wetterer. There's a tower lighting ceremony. He's wants everybody to show up at the brand new water tower lights in Mount Washington. Finally got enough funding to get those done. And it's on Flag Day where I will be attending a ceremony and Union semme in a Union township to celebrate the appropriate way to retire a flag.
Flag retirement ceremony. I always enjoyed doing that. I've been doing it for more than a decade. I think it's a great ceremony involving the Boy Scouts and members of the local community. So try to find something positive to
do on Flag Day. Oh and Drew Andrew Bappis, former Anderson Township trustee, trust posted a reposted a post from Representative Anapoliona Luna, if you're planning on going to the No King's nationwide Day of Defiance, regardless of which level of defiance or which area of defiance you're showing up for at She says on June fourteenth that we protests across the country that are backed by a communist group with ties to the CCP Chinese Communist Party. These groups
are using ICE protests as a ruse maga. Do not show up in gear. If you do attend and witness illegal activity, record faces and license plates, we will ask you to submit footage information of the FBI and in all caps, she says, this is orchestrated, and yeah it is.
There's all kinds of information out there behind who's funding this and Senator Josh Hally's actually launched an investigation regarding the funding, specifically one group, the Coalition for Human Immigration Rights CHIRWA, which is a left wing pro illegal immigration group who has been funding and facilitating these anti ICE protests.
There was a recent expose by an investigative account as Data Republican, but they had the documents and they identified multiple nonprofit organizations with political fronts playing a role in igniting the chaos which resulted in the violence inherent against the violence or in the violence of Los Angeles and
spreading this Turla group. They their funding went from twelve million dollars to thirty four million dollars in one year, mostly from government grants, including you the American tax payerl though the majority of it came from the state of California.
They apparently have identified photos from the scene of the riots showing these Turla linked materials and professionally printed signs that go trace back to the Party for Socialism and Liberation PSL, which is a Chinese communist operating group here in the United States. Yeah, splittersices haul your q TRAILOA of providing financial and logistical support for this unrest if you want to call it that. Saying quote bankrolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is aiding and abouting
criminal conduct. And they could end up with a reco charge against them. If you can show evidence two or more people working in concerts criminal activities, then they they would fall right into RICO. That's what it takes to get into RICO. And it'd be nice that the Department of Justice did look into this, because, yeah, if they're suggesting or telling people they need to get there and here, by the way, we're gonna unload a pile of bricks.
Draw your own conclusions why we're providing bricks for an unruly mob anyway. The Senators demanding preservation and production of a whole bunch of records internal communications, emails, texts, chat logs, messaging apps relating to protests, planning, coordinating, and funding, financial documents relating to the protest, demonstrations or mobilization efforts in
Los Angeles or elsewhere, relating to immigration enforcement. All third party contracts and vendor agreements, including any arrangements with organizers, transportation providers, security personnel, communication and consultants relating to immigration enforcement, grant applications, and funding proposals that relate to or reference immigration enforcement. Maybe you know what, Joe, maybe they'll find a communication between Churla and Connie Pilich outreach the local
members of an elected capacity to call the Trump administration incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated. Well, specifically with regard to Jonald Trump, she called him a jackal who is backed up by vile humans whose acts and advice indicate they want to destroy our democracy and see Connie Pillage is Hemlin County prosecuting.

It's beginning to slow down a bit between the Lawrenceburg ramp and the bridge thanks to the construction. Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs, the talk station.
At six fifty fifty five kars, the talk station Friday Eve, Dave Williams and the Taxpayer Protection lines up after the top of the r and news looking forward to having imback on the program as always. So you know this weekend thing, the new kings nationwide data defiance, and they keep going, what is it all about? What is it all about? What is it all about? Well, look at all the areas of division. The seeds of division have been sown, and they have been, you know, bubbling and
percolating now for years. And you got to remember a lot of the outside folks that do not like the United States, a Chinese Communist Party, for example, as one this Coalition for Humane Immigrant and Rights pick your topic though, is it free Palestine, anti Israel? That's is that one that stirs your pod? LGBT, go on with the letters solid with that one. Is that an issue that you want to protest about? Black Lives Matter, defund police, Antifa?
The immigrant issue obviously is one that's behind a lot of the protests in LA allowing men to play in women's sports, pursuing the woke Dei ideology. I mean, all of these little separate areas designed to divide. And there was a referred to as a renowned attorney named Larry Claim and apparently he's written a lot made a prediction at US Watchdog that there would be the ultimate legal
war against Donald Trump. He predicted that now that the two hundred and seventy two cases fought against the Trump administration, so he was accurate in that one. He also predicted that the rabid left violence would explode, and of course he hit the nail out or hit the ball to the park with the LA riots. But you know, that's something that even I predicted. But what he wrote, and this I believe is absolutely true, he said, we knew this was coming. This is more than an insurrection, it's
a Bolsheviks style revolution. It's not just Bolsheviks, but it's every conceivable leftist radical group. And see that's my point. Remember remember back in the sixties the Vietnam War protesters where they joined with the environmentalists and they created the kind of this, this coalition of leftists. This is financed undoubtedly by people like George Soros. Yeah, and uh you also have you know the popping served with the Chinese Communist Party. You have this, uh, this this Turla organization
Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights, which gets taxpayer dollars to fund. It's, you know, undermining of America. There's a whole litany of folks out there with lots of money. I knew the heiress to the Walmart uh stores is also contributing to these leftist groups. I mean, the list is endless. And he points out he said, you know, the mayor of Los Angeles is being used the think in my mind of Connie Pillach in this insane and vile comments that
she posted on social media the other day. Just one more person in elected capacity who is also what I would characterize as a useful idiot. He writes. They want there to be some kind of tragedy in this particular case, He says, in La they want there to be some kind of Kent state where someone gets killed. And see, he's echoing the point that I made to somebody the
other day. You know, why don't we get a sniper out there, and if someone's engaging in violence, it could be a threat to human life, you pick them off. I said, No, that's exactly what they want. You can't engage in that kind of you know, law enforcement mechanism because that feeds into what they want. They want some tragedy that they can hold out like George Floyd, to provide them with an excuse to be violent in the streets,
violence which probably won't be prosecuted. Maybe under the Trump Trump administration Department of Justice it would, but certainly didn't happen und the Biden administration did it. He said, They want one of these protesters to be killed by the National Guard, by the military. This will be a flash point to carry forth this Bolshevik revolution. Now you may think that he's gone, well, he's gone overboard, he's gone overboard,
But no, that's the goal here. It's the dream. Anything to dismantle us, anything to bring us down as we approach Flag Day, the symbol of freedom, the gift of America, freedom that allows people to articulate a different belief about what government is or should be. I don't have any problem I am. You know, if you want to go out and scream and yell and you think illegal immigrants, criminal, otherwise should be allowed to remain in our country, You're
entitled to do that. That's America, that's freedom, and that their desires are something that is the antithesis threat to democracy. It keeps screaming about that. Who's a greater threat to democracy? Someone who wants you to be able to be free under the limitations on the government that the Constitution has in place, including the freedom of speech, which says the government can't dictate what you speak. Or someone who wants you to have only one message and to have all
other messages excluded. Again illustrated by the Biden administration on a variety of topics, COVID nineteen immediately comes to mind. You know, you're allowed to say COVID nineteen was created in a Chinese communist lab. We all know it was now, But when you said it back then, boy, you are just docs. In effect, you're allowed in this country to express skepticism about the COVID nineteen vaccine, and we had some doctors lose their license over doing just that. Who's
a threat to democracy? And that's just one topic? And it isn't it odd in a democratic society or in a free society. I want to say the I this idea of legacy media used to be what we call the mainstream media, but that they're all lockstep messaging one agenda, which is a leftist agenda, and that you know it used to be that Fox News was fringe. Notice a step in the right direction. Who's dominating the news cycles.
Who's got the absolute, far and away best ratings when compared to the obvious far left news outlets like CNN or MSNBC. It's Fox. So you know your strength is much greater than you might perceive it to be. And as always point out, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, it gets the attention, The violence draws the cameras. The violence to what gets the clicks, providing a perception that their message and their belief systems are stronger and more widespread than yours. And I'm here to tell you, I,
in my heart of hearts. I think that's wrong. I think most Americans want safety and security, a strong law enforcement presence, and they want to have control over the borders, because ultimately, control over the borders and who's allowed in our country and the numbers of people has a profound impact on what so many people on the left rely upon, and that's the social welfare safety net, which is collapsing under the weight of humanity and the number of people
that are placing on it. Six fifty seven fifty five KR City Talk Station, Dave Williams taxpayer Protection lights up next that we can stick around.
Stay on top of the day's biggest stories at the top of.
The hour, and that's so important.
Another update coming up on fifty five krs the talk station.
I know it wasn't on your list day, but we got a new uh it was, Oh, it was I want to Dave. You're a tax paying human being, are you not?
Yes, you do pay.
You pay federal taxes on behalf of the city of Cincinnati.
Dave.
I want to thank you for the labor that you engaged in that's generated you money that they took from your paycheck to help fund the Cincinnati Streetcar. The city council voted unanimously to accept a quarter of a million dollar grant from the Federal Transit Administration to upgrade technology behind the signs that show writers information about when the
street car is going to actually show up. Now, they actually had the signs already in place, but they haven't had any accurate for accurate information more than a couple of years because apparently it didn't hook up with the GPS. They didn't know whether the streetcar was at any given time, so they couldn't let writers who were standing at the streetcar stops know when the train was actually going to show up. That's going to change now, Oh goodie, goodie, goodie.
So appreciate your share the quarter of a million dollars.
You know, I do have a comment, but I don't think the FCC would be too happy.
Oh my nineteenth year in radio, Dave. I struggle with that every single day because I can have a rather saucy tongue when I'm not on the air. So I've been able to maintain control without slip up. Knock Wood. There is no wood in my studio, but we'll pretend we're knocking wood and to not jinx me that I don't drop an FCC non compliant word anyway. On your list of topics, find David Protecting Taxpayers dot or great site. He's looking out for the American taxpayer dollar. Is Trump
pursuing free and fair trade? And you answer your own question in the reporting by David McGarry, No, what I know Trump had some It sounded like some measure of success with China and rare earth minerals the other day. But where are we on fair and free trade? And what's the story behind this one?
Dave Williams, It is so convoluted, so mixed up, because one day the terrorists are on, the next day of the terrifs are off, and it's providing so much economic uncertainty to businesses, to consumers. And Brian, I have a new theory and I've been thinking about this a lot. Is that Donald Trump when he ran his businesses, he negotiated with a lot of different people. Right, this was done behind closed doors. But this is what you do as a businessman. They say this is going to cost
X to build this building. You say, well, I want to cost why? You know, waggle then X?
You haggle. Absolutely, he did it in private.
These he's haggling in public now, and the market is freaking out because they see one hundred and fifty five percent tariff on China one day, thirty percent, the next day fifty five and businesses don't know what to do. Do we buy goods from China? What happens if it's
halfway over here and the tariffs increase? And again, I like the fact that he's negotiating, but you can't do that on the world market and not expect some sort of repercussions like this, and the market listen, don't pay attention to the market because it's going to be a pretty safe bet, right, it's going to go up, it's going to go down. But I think the economic uncertainty that businesses are like do I invest to invest money
to expand what do I do? So I think there in line is a problem with what he's doing that's so public.
Yeah, and I couldn't agree with you more. You need to be able to plan. You need something concrete on the table, whether it's you know, whether you prefer something different or not. At least you know the cards that you have been dealt and can play them accordingly. I mean, if someone you know in the middle of a poker game was able to take three of your cards and then give you three different ones. I mean, how can you bet and anticipate what's coming up? And I mean
it's just I get that. It's like the tax rate. What's the tax rate going to be? You know, and businesses worry about that, But once it's in place, regardless of what the tax is, at least they can plan accordingly. No, we won't be investing this much this year because my taxes went up. Yes, we will be investing more in our business this year because the taxes went down. That
makes its planning. Everybody needs some measure of stability to do that, and there's really literally no stability in this whole mess.
And you know, Brian, you make a really good point about the tax rate, because the one of the tax rates that they locked in in twenty seventeen was the corporate tax rate at twenty one percent. Now, a lot of things are going to expire at the end of this year if they don't pass this one big, beautiful bill. But what the one thing that did they did lock in because they knew that you have to have this, you know, tax certainty was the twenty one percent corporate
tax rate. So Congress has acknowledged this is that businesses need this long term planning.
So you're absolutely right, yep.
Well, and you know that's one of the things that I hate the phrase big beautiful bill. Every time I say it, I just it's just, you know, okay, yeah.
A little piece of your soul is taken away.
I know, I know, I know, because you know, there's a lot of it that I consider not beautiful. But you know, there is some great things and there are some great things in it. But this serves to illustrate the point when they did the twenty seventeen tax cuts, which I think we're great and we're good for the economy generally speaking, and since they took less of my money, I feel better about it because I'm not paying for stuff I don't want to pay, at least not as
much they set to expire. I mean, why didn't they just lock him in then permanently and then for some other Congress down the road to have to raise our taxes. See, this is what irks me about Congress is these deadlines in there that undo what has been done, which creates this uncertainty and instability out there every X number of years.
Well, and the spending increases are never some set there's never an exploration for this spending increases. It's always the tax guys. And listen, this is something we've been talking about for years. Is that everyone saw this deadline coming up, and Congress said, oh, we have plenty of time, We have plenty of time. And you know, here we are June of twenty twenty five, and we have six months left to get this done. And now we're being force fed this bill that has tax.
Increases in it. I mean, there are tax increases. You have the endowment tax.
And listen, Trump is going after Harvard, He's trying to get more money from Harvard in these lefty places. Is the problem is our right wing endowments that are going to get hit by this tax. Right now it's one point four percent, it's going to go to twenty one percent. So Hilldale College, a lot of these conservative organizations now are going to get a tax increase in this in
this bill. I'm not going to say the full name anymore, but through this legislation they're going to get a tax increase, which is counterintuitive and counterproductive.
Yeah, and you know I certainly understand wanting to go after Harvard. I mean, it's just it has gone so full on brainwashy left that I don't even understand how it can be an institution has any value anymore. They've undermined the value of the name that they've built up over so many years.
Yeah, and again, you know they're bringing in other people now and these other tax increases.
I don't know if you've seen this, the remittance tax.
Now, if you send money overseas, you will now all have to pay three and a half percent. Now, what there's saying is, but if you're an American, then you'll get the money back at the end of the year through a tax refund. So let's say you send money overseas for whatever reason. My wife is from El Salvador. She sends money to her mom, right, and she's been a US citizen for twenty twenty five years. Well, you're gonna have to prove that you're an American citizen.
The banks don't track this.
The banks have no idea what you if you're legal, if you're you know what your status is in this country. So the bank is going to have to charge you this. They're going to raise their fees to charge you this three point five percent. Now, if you are filing your taxes and use the standard deduction.
Yeah, you can no longer do that.
You now have to itemize if you are sending money overseas. It's it's it's unnecessary. It's an unnecessary thing for to be in this bill.
Well, I'm sure maybe that was something the accounting industry was behind, because if everybody has this now start itemizing, there's going to be more accountants fired filed because you know, you can just easily take the ten thousand dollars to just call it a day. Plus you have to keep receipts too. So any one of the things that I was unhappy about the Republicans that they capitulated the Democrat States and raising the salt to forty thousand dollars, something
the Senate may very well undo. I know they're having conversations about that. I had Congressman Thomas Massey on yesterday talking about what it would take to get him to vote for it, since he was one of the few Republicans voted no. And he said, well, if the Senate puts that back to ten thousand dollars and does a couple of other things. He said, I'll embrace it, but you know, he was a He's an absolute, outright no on that, and I certainly understand it. It's a gift
to the high tax Democrat states. They're the ones that raise the taxes so much that they think they need that forty thousand dollars that increase or they're thirty thousand dollars increase.
And this effects a very small portion of the country. We're talking about California and New York, the states that have been less fiscally responsible with their spending and with their taxes.
That's that's who's going to benefit from this.
So if you are Florida, Texas and you're fiscally responsible, you're pain for other people's high taxes.
And it just it doesn't make sense. But this is what I'm using.
The air quotes here was negotiated by the House to get these moderate Republicans to vote for it. And you know, the deficit, we see increased deficits, spending, we see a debt ceiling that's going to be increased. I mean, President Trump doesn't want a debt ceiling. He says we shouldn't have.
A death fool. Oh, my goodness.
I mean, talk about any sort of a side of ciscal responsibility.
Is out the window.
I mean, if you have no debt ceiling, I mean, listen, it's not stopping them now. The debt ceiling is not stopping them.
Now. You take that away and yikes.
Yep, it's a frightening landscape in front of us. And every additional dollar we spend in every and the larger than that massive pile of debt, which is currently almost what thirty seven trillion dollars gets. And then when the interest, when the bond rate goes up, the and you refinance or you end up having to pay more. It's like having your credit card rate increase. You're going to have to pay more for debt service. It's already a trillion dollars a year, Dave, we're just paying on interest.
Yeah, that's a lot of agencies combined. I mean, it's crazy to think about what a trillion dollars is and it's more than the defense budget. We're paying more in interest than we're spending on defense, and we get nothing from interest. I mean, at least we get a parade when we spend almost a trillion dollars.
In defense thank you. Something else that I am not in favor of. This reminds me so much of the Soviet Union in North Korea. To roll out all of your military hardware. I mean, I appreciate celebrating the anniversary of the Armed Forces or the United States Army, and that's a glorious thing. They're great people, they do wonderful things. I'm a huge support of the American military personnel and
the veterans. But you know, Dave, another thing. I know you've noticed they haven't been able to pass an audit eight times in a row. You think there's any fraud wasting abuse in the trillion dollar defense spending bill, Dave.
And we're talking about not passing an audit. But they lose engines. I'm not kidding that.
They said, well, we're supposed to have fifteen engines, but we only count twelve.
We don't know where the three went.
I mean, and these are you know, massive pieces of equipment. So we're not talking about pencils and you know post it notes. We're talking about big pieces of equipment that go missing and they're unaccounted for.
So this is hundreds of billions of dollars.
Like you said, you know it's been years since they've been able to pass an audit, and they're never passing audit.
Where did that tank go? Wasn't it parked there yesterday? Don't go away, Davidens, We'll bring you back. We got more to talk about. Seven eighteen right now, fifty five cares of the talk station. I want to save you

As seven twenty three I fifty five Kerr City Talk Station Protecting Taxpayers dot orgs where you find Dave Williams of the Taxpayer Protection Alliance and his crew looking out for the American tax since really have a we went really long in the last segment day and I don't want to give short shrift to the food stamp crackdown, so let's pause. We'll save that one for the next segment.
We've learned a lot. I mean, these protests that are going on a lot of Los Angeles, somebody call them riots, you choose, but the funding that's behind them, and we find out that there are organizations out there the American taxpayers have actually funded to fund a what I would argue is a leftist, you know, pro illegal immigration ideology
that's run contrary to the Trump administration's philosophies. I know Biden didn't have any problem with it, but how is it the American taxpayers funding organizations that have a political affiliation. I mean, if American taxpayer dollars were going to churches, people would be screaming and wailing and gnashing of teeth. But you know, a lot of these organizations, in my mind, take a leap of faith like attitude, much like religion does. They're not much different from religion.
Yeah, this is sort of the untold story of what's happening. Is because you have a lot of nonprofit that receive money from taxpayers, right, and we put out a report, this was years ago, called phony philanthropy.
Is that we are now?
You know, Brian, you and I we are members of these organizations because we're taxpayers, but we don't agree with their mission. Listen, if you want to donate money to an organization, that's your money. Don't use my money to right to keep an organization propped up that I don't agree with. And let's look at what's going to happen next. Is taxpayer money is going to be used to rebuild Los Angeles and what's happening there and consumers are also
going to be on the hook for increased insurance. We've solved this with the with the fires of the California fires, So this is not just who's funding this, but who's going to fund the cleanup in the aftermath, And it's always the US tax payer, always a taxpayer.
Excellent point. Same thing in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter riots where federal buildings were smashed and burned and Antifa, those are federal buildings.

Chuck ing radmonth fifty five KRC the talk station.
Hey, it's seven twenty nine right now? Which five KRCD talk station you find? Dave Williams and the Taxpayer Protection Alliance online at Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Dave a real terrible situation East illustrated in one of the frauds that they were able to find in this snap program thirty million dollars in EBT transactions, fraudulently issued applications and misappropriate USDA licenses, EBT terminals at unauthorized stores like smoke shops
and other businesses that shouldn't qualify. And oh look, part of the problem is even folks working within the government and these programs which people hold so valuable well, are engaging in fraud and facilitating this kind of thing. With a USDA employee or LASA Davis sold confidential government information to the criminals that I just mentioned, we're involved in
this thirty million dollar fixed. This is just one of probably gazillions of issue or illustrations of fraud in the foodstamp program.
Yeah, this is frustrating, to say the least, because we went to EBT, the Electronic Benefit Transfer I believe it was two thousand and four in the early two thousands, to try to combat the waste for a and abuse with paper food stamps.
And listen, that's how you do it.
I mean, you have a lot electronic paper trail. But you know, thieves always find a way to game the system, and this is what's happening. And you mentioned something that is really critical in that story is that the call is coming from.
Inside the house.
Yes, is that you have a USDA employee who was part of this, and you mentioned that thirty million dollars is one particular case, but they're estimating it could be up to two hundred billion dollars it's lost to fraud in the food stamp program. I mean that is an insane number to consider and to think about, you know, having that we could save one hundred billion dollars. So one conference says no idea where we can save money.
Well, here you go. I mean, here's this one of many things.
But again, criminals always find a way to rob, and when you're the government, it's easy to rub the government because they aren't watching IT. Systems are usually very weak. I mean you have the IRS that as forty to fifty year old IT system, So it's no surprise that this is happening, Brian.
It's like the aviation system. They're still using floppy discs to help keep track of airplanes in the sky, which is scary.
Newark, New Jersey, does not have a fiber connection. So that's why some of the allergies that have occurred is they don't have the latest Internet. I mean, they don't have gig service at Newark, New Jersey Airport. They are using with you know, fifteen twenty year old technology.
So yeah, using twelve hundred VOD modems with the regular telephone remember those.
Days, you know I had the good old days.
Well, you know, the practical reality is this is because I think if the government was actually a business that had to run efficiently or it would go out of business. So I know we're on that existential threat given how much we overspend. But that aside, there's no incentive by government to crack down on this. They don't have to earn money. They merely take it, and you know, they operate and they just continue to go on their merry way.
In spite of the fact that they could be saving the American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars in one program alone. They really don't really take much by way of action to stop anything from happening. And that's why it slips through the cracks. It's easy to rip the government off because they're not attentive to where the money's going and.
There's no consequences private business if there's If there's fraud, you get fired and maybe prosecute or you know you prosecuted in the government to get.
Shifted to another part of the agency.
Or maybe another agency. And again not the harm on the IRS. Yeah, to harp on the IRS. I mean, we've seen this where information has been leaked time and time again, and there's never been any consequences for the folks that are leaking this information.
So Darren Li has a problem.
This USDA employee is probably going to get a slap on the wrist and then a two percent bump in their pay next year. I mean, this is what happens. But as you said, in the private sector, it doesn't happen. So why not look at the things that the government shouldn't be doing and give it to the private sector and say, okay, we're going to get better.
Results from this.
But we're going in the opposite direction where the government is saying that IRS again, direct file, we want to prepare your returns.
No, no, no, no.
The private sector is doing a really good job at that HR block and all these other places look out for you and your money and try to get you a big refund. So no, we're going the opposite direction here. You want more of the private sector, not less of it.
Yeah, I mean, at least if you're dealing with an accountant, there's sort of a fiduciary obligation for them to look out for your best censures by properly filing and finding all the air is where you maybe can make deductions, where you can pay less taxes, that kind of thing. The federal government in their hands, I mean, their interest is in maximizing the dollars that come into their operation,
not to reduce them. So there's no way they'd be looking out for the American taxpayer's best interest exactly.
And that's why we just have to change the mentality of the people that are elected that government is not the answer. Government is the problem, and we need to come up with better answers. And you know, my concern is when they're talking about this legislation, you know, the tax cuts, that's all they're talking about. That's all that they can focus on. They can only focus on one thing at a time. There are so many other issues.
There's the postal service, there's a regulatory overreach. Yeah, there's so much more that they should be talking about, but they're so focused on just one piece of legislation.
Well, we've identified all kinds of problems, Dave. Time and time and time and time and time again we talk about this kind of thing, and I don't know. I mean, maybe the government officials just aren't listening to you or or common sense logic and reason. They don't care that we're digging ourselves into a hole that we can't get out of. I don't know they don't.
And let me let me just say I was talking to Joe about this before I came on the air. Is during this parade on Saturday, all I asked for is one streetcar to be a part of this parade. I just want to see a street car going down Constitution Avenue and all its glory, uh, filled filled with members in the army.
That too much to ask.
Yeah, that's great. I love it.
Oh, Dave Williams. Always enjoy our conversations, even though they can be depressing at times. At least you're shining a bright light on what needs to be fixed. And maybe someday you and I will get our wish and they'll fix it. In the meantime, we'll continue to identify and talk about it. Look forward to having you back on the program really soon again. Protecting Taxpayers dot Org. Dave have a great day and week.
My friend YouTube Brian, Thank you.
Thanks brother. It's seven thirty six. If you've got care sye de talk station, get yourself a phone call, make a phone called a Cover Sincy. I can encourage you enough to do this. And wherever you happen to be listening from any of the fifty states of the Union, Cover since he can help you, they will look at where you are with medical insurance and also dental envision. They cover all kinds of insurance. And if you're getting to Medicaid or Medicare age, you need to talk with
Cover Sincy about the right things to select. But when it comes to medical insurance, they work for you much like the fiduciary obligation. I just meant they're on your side of the table. Looking at all these hundreds of insurance companies out there that offer medical insurance and the literally thousands of policies that are out there and available, they can create a package of medical insurance coverage that gets you dollar one. Coverage helps you save a lot
of money. Small businesses, they can improve your bottom line and get your employees covered with insurance they can actually afford. It's just mind boggling what they're capable of doing. You need to talk to John Roman or one of the team members that cover Sincy to initiate that conversation with no obligation to you, no cost involved in this analysis, and save a lot of money, like couples under sixty to sixty five or out of saving five hundred to
one thousand dollars a month. Yeah, that kind of savings happens every day. Coversincy dot com cover sincey dot com. Fill the format right there, they'll get right back with you, or give them a call at five one three eight hundred call that's five one three eight hundred.

We have why was AFTAB fined fifty bucks and what's going on with the Cincinnati fire Department. Plus I heard the aviation expert Jay Ratty at eight thirty.
In the meantime, I'm gonna go to the phones and talk to Bob Wetter, mister humanitarian himself, the man that is behind the wish tree every Christmas season, also behind another pet project to his, the water Tower Lights in Mount Washington. Bob Weder, welcome back man, It's good to hear from you today.
I'm Brian. It's going to be a great weekend for us.
We've got a lot of lights, lots to celebrate. It is Flag Day and I'm going to do the flag retirement ceremony and Union Township. I always enjoy doing that. We've got all kinds of Flag Day celebrations. There's a Reds game going on this weekend, so many things to take us away from the protest everything protests that are going on, and of course being at the celebrate the new water Tower lights celebration in Mount Washington another great
alternative of that nonsense. So tell tell my listeners about this project. I know you've been working on it for a while. Who's behind it. I know he has some thanks to give out because there's some sponsors going on. But what's what's what's what's the story behind the project itself?
The project itself, the tower had been lit many years just at Christmas time. Then it became in twenty fourteen. It was lit every night, and we've had it problems twice October. At twenty third October of twenty three the tower actually went out, so we had to raise new money and now we have raised enough to get the tower relt And on Saturday night at eight o'clock we're going to have the public portion of the celebration. We'll
have light refreshments. Eight twenty we're actually going to recognize all the sponsors and volunteers. And then eight forty five we're having a flag ceremony with American Legion. For eighty four they're doing their flag ceremony. Nine o'clock will light it, but special list everybody comes to spaghetti dinners. All your listeners who put up with Karen Bob at every listener lunch out.
There, love having you a listener lunch Bob.
So I mean it's been it's been great, and there's so many people we have to pay back for all that. And then at the Holiday walk usually seg comes down to light support us, and so this year he's coming out to relight the tower on Saturday night. But if it wasn't for people like yourself, your listeners, all the people who come to the spaghetti and they help, and all the sponsors would put up all the extra money.
It's been great and we've raised this time about thirty nine thousand dollars in the past three months.
Oh wow, that's not bad.
What can I help that?
Can I ask you what the total cost of the project was?
Total cost the project? It's an ongoing project, right around forty thousand dollars.
Okay, all right, well you know at leastening uh you know six right, that's that's a worthy expension. And the folks in Mount Washington love the lights up there, so it's are they going to change? It's gonna be.
Icon Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be different. It's gonna have eight eight lights that come up from the bottom. We'll be able to change those. And then we've added with Project four projectors, it'll have like for this event, it'll have a logo of Mount Washington up and it'll have three flags. For Fourth of July, I'll have some other type and for pumpkins for October, I have Punkins parts for.
For the uh.
Valentine's Day, so yeah, and then Christmas will have snow flakes and things like that'll be January we'll have something different for it, so it'll change different times of the year. Kneed E bench.
That's cool, all right.
So well, I'm very excited.
I bet you are. And again I need be working on this for a long time. One of your pet projects and at another active community service from Bob Wetter. You're always involved in these great events there, Bob, and I know everybody appreciates it. So the lighting is at nine pm and uh that's a light sounds like a great time. So my listeners can head on over to Mount Washington and check out the lighting celebration. Joe Strecker will add the details to my blog page fifty five
kr sea dot com, so everbody knows. And also notably, there's a multitude of local sponsors and they all need to be celebrated and supported, so you can check out the list of the various sponsors check out my web page fifty five cars dot com. I hope you have a great turnout, Bob, all right.
Yeah, fight in the Union Township.
I know I will always do seven forty six right now at your five k see talk station. Don't go away, be right back on a little talk about it if you want to call, love to hear from me. Maybe got a topic before we get to Scott Wartman from the Inquiry at eight oh five. In the meantime, though US installation. Another call you need to make is USA have your home inspected to see where you are in terms of insulation under insulated homes and homes without insulation.
Don't wait, just go ahead and do it. It's only ninety nine dollars a month interest free, So if they inspect your home and you could use the phone, it's the highest R value phone that is out there, made right here in the state of Ohio, and USA has been at this for decades. They have insulated thousands of homes. And the only criticism I've ever heard, or reaction I've heard from people that's not sort of negative is gosh
darn it, I wish I had done this sooner. Ninety nine bucks a month interest free, it's very possible and perhaps even very likely you'll save more than that on a monthly basis if you're using your HVAC system and of course it's hot, it's human. You're probably are using yours to get the benefits of an immediately more comfortable home day one and then a monthly benefit every time you look at your energy bill. This is a guaranteed return on investment, saving money on your energy bill, which

Jacker is predicting a low turnout for the uh Let's protest Everything rally because there is so much going on it's more worthwhile to go to And what are you protesting? Literally everything? I guess it's the nationwide Day of Defiance.
No kings and one of the more alarming things. We started out the morning show talking about this, and uh I receive this you know repost or this post from our Hamilton County prosecutor kind of pillage from a number of sources yesterday, and I just my jaw fell open. I know she's a Democrat, and I know she's a leftist, but for the Hamilton County Prosecutor to engage in this type of i'd say horrific speech is just I think it undermines her own credibility as well as undermines the
credibility of the office of the Hamilton County Prosecutor. So I'm sure you know about the New King's nationwide Day of Defiance, and if you look, you really are scratching your head maybe about what you're defying. And I pointed out early in the program there's a list seems endless of the areas of division in this country. The pot has been stirred now for years and years. Divide, divide, divide, divide.
And this benefits just nothing but our enemies and those who want to undermine the republic, not democracy, county, but the Republic. Go ahead and fight about at Palestine. Do we have one or we don't weave over to the c or not LGBTQ plus issues woke DEI ideology issues,
BLM issues, defund the police folks out there. I mean, it's just there's a multitude of things which divide our country, and it seems to me to be most of them are kind of badcrap, insane, and yet, of course, as I always point out, they're the ones that get highlighted because there's so much insanity, like, oh my god, somebody actually believes in that, somebody actually believes that men should
be able to play against women in sports. Click anyway, Hamilton County Prosecutor College County Pillage writes this, what's on my mind. My job is the prosecute people who commit crimes, from minor infractions the horrible offenses, and that's where the
sanity ends. But all this is against a backdrop of such unconstitutional lawlessness at the federal level by an incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated jackal who threatens our very democracy every day, even worse by vile humans whose accent advice indicate that they
want to destroy our democracy. Please join me Saturday, m Let's see here, vile humans like, for example, the folks that worked for the Doge Department who fared it out fraud, waste, and abuse, and when you look at the money trail, I think one of the reasons they're all screaming and yelling about USA being shut down is because it was a source of taxpayer dollars to fund their leftist activities.
You work every day, so your taxpayer's dollars are go to the go to Washington, d C. So USAID can then take them and send them out into the world to fund left wing organizations. And they identified a ton of them. Those people are vile humans.
Huh.
Interesting. Take Connie, and I appreciate your words since they were so kind and healing and not divisive and not pot stirring in the midst of all of the well criminal activity going on out in California and elsewhere. I guess we'll see if things cooler heads prevail this weekend.
I can only pray for that. And props to my friend Andy real quick here before we go to the raake and hear from Scott Wartman Babylon B headline this is great clever immigrant evades Trump's deportation efforts by not raping, murdering, stealing, or entering the country illegally Babylon B headline, And they wrote an article to go along with it seven fifty six.

I am pleased to welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show from the Cincinnati Enquirer. Somebody's at least reporting on local things. Scott Whartman, welcome back to the morning show. It's always great having you on.
Oh thanks for having me, Brian.
Something I think everybody was talking about, at least of late, one of many murders in the city of Cincinnati, but rather horrific and under really really tragic circumstances, the death of I guess you did have to have pro Bowl met with Sarah Henninger regarding her husband's slaying in their home by a guy who was supposed to be on an ankle monitor who cut it off in February was widely reported by from others. An announcement from police Chief Teresa Thiji they did not even know that that guy
was at large. Talk about a breakdown in the system, what's your what's your analysis? And after talking with the folks involved with the AFTABS, meeting with Sarah Henninger, well, a lot.
Of the city had been quiet in the days following the incident, and then on Wednesday, the mayor met with Sarah Henninger, the wife of the man that was stabbed in their home and over the Rhine and he basically listened to her concerns because she's been very vocal on social media that she wants changed so this doesn't happen again.
She feels the system.
Broke down after the suspect cut his ankle monitor off, he fell off the map and basically with the mayor and the police chief, they were both in the meeting on Wednesday morning. They said that they were not notified. The police chief issued pretty strongly worded eight minute video statement that evening after the meeting, saying that, you know, blaming the state for not notifying her. And that's kind of like the big question here, who was responsible. We
haven't really gotten an answer on that yet. The state hasn't really responded on exactly you know how that was supposed to work. But from sources I talked to, they said that he was notified, like it was flagged in the system, and they were looking for him actively, so you know how that should have worked. We're still trying to answer that.
Well, the question then is they were looking for them if if if the since I my police department didn't get alerted that he was out and about and had cut off his ankle monitor and fled the halfway home, and so he was at large. Obviously a demonstrably violent man given the reason he was locked up previously. He went on to commit another robbery then and then ultimately we have the murder of Patrick a Hanger. Yes, it wasn't the Ohio Parole Board that was responsible for monitoring.
Him, and yeah, it was the state. He was under the state supervision. And again the details on exactly, you know, we're still sorting out how that was supposed to work.
But he was.
He served a nine year.
Prison sentence, was put on supervised release, and then when he cut off his ankle monitor, they didn't really know where he was.
Yeah, well, see that to me sounds like, you know, it's one of those things you see in movies. Issue in all points bullet and we got a dangerous guy who's cut off his ankle monitor. He's probably up to no good, given him his criminal conduct in the past. Here's a picture of him. Here's crime stopper bad guy. The week we do that every week on the Morning show. Was there a crime stopper alert out there on him? Were the police department provided with photos and information? And
you know where he typically hangs out is wherever? That's it seems to me just should be the normal order of business. But if the police department's not notified about it, then they're not going to be out looking for him duh, right.
Yeah, and that is these are some of the answers that Sarah Henninger and the city want to get coming out of this, And these are answers right now we just don't.
Have, okay, And I know some of the reforms that Sarah Harringer was asking for. It sounded to me, based on the reporting I read the AFTAB provol was in a chord and had no objection to what she was asking for and also was desirous of bringing about some change to the system. So at least it doesn't sound like he's being an obstructionist.
No.
I mean when he met with her, it sounded like he listened to her concerns and he agreed that it was unacceptable that those were his words in the statement that he released, and vowed the work with her. And she said that she's going to be very public as she works with the city to keep everyone notified of what's happening and kind of keep the heat on to see that something happened and that there is some meaningful change.
Well, it was a.
Business owner and over the Ryan, I think there were residents of over the Ryan. Patrick Herringer had a gym there active in the community, by all accounts, are really terrific guy, and I can certainly understand her being devastated by this, but I think her online social media posts have been quite reasonable, and in spite of her current circumstances and her grief, I think everything that she said out loud are legitimate, you know, rather than just being
vile and angry and screaming and yelling. I mean, she's asking for some very legitimate reform. So one can only pray that this tragedy does result in a more efficient system, because obviously there was some sort of breakdown here that doesn't look like it should have happened. Now, whether they would have found him or not, no one can answer that question. But if you don't know the guys out there, you're not going to be looking for him. Which that's
the elephant in the room on this one. Scott pivoting over, and.
The crime really has devastated the over the Rhine community. And this is one of those things. I mean, it was someone killed in their own home.
You it's really.
I mean, it's rightly you know, hit a nerve and caused you know, a lot of a lot of stress on the over the Ryan community.
Which I think is already stressed out. One of the things that came out during this in the aftermath of this tragedy, bad optics for the city. Who tries to paint this, you know, beautiful, you know, rainbows, puppy dogs, a kind of picture of the environment in downtown CINCINNTI. Crime apparently has soared forty eight percent year over and over the Rhine alone, with regard to property crimes and break ins and car thefts and car breakings and all that. It doesn't sound good, but.
I do believe looking at some of the crime statistics, so I think overall, like violent crime.
Is down.
It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it's sometimes hard to read the year the year data because there can be ambivalent, you know, conclusions that are drawn from it.
Yeah, and I know, but see one of the interesting points that was made and I can't remember where I read it, but violent crime maybe down, and that would be like murders in the city overall. But if you look at different areas, different communities or different neighborhoods, like over the Rhine, that's when you find out that, in fact, no, a lot of crime is up in any given area. So the statistics tend to mask sometimes the reality of what anybody's actually dealing with on a day to day
basis in the communities. So well, I'm looking for follow up reporting from Scott Wortman the whole situation with the barole board and what they actually do and how things are monitored and how they keep track of these folks that are out on bail with ankle monitors. There is a piece on aft have purval getting fined fifty dollars doesn't sound like a big slap on the wrist there with fifty bucks. What was the reason he had to pay fifty bucks for this campaign issue?
Yeah, the Ohio Elections Commission, which is the one that levied the fine. I mean generally, I mean that's actually kind of a hefty fine for them, because it's generally seen as I don't know, necessarily want to say toothless, but they usually aren't like severe consequences that are handed down for violations.
But it was an issue.
Kurt Hartman, he's a Republican attorney, often files a lot of complaints and actions against politicis.
You viewed a lot of.
Election commission or election campaign finance filings, noticed that there was debt on.
Have to have pureval's.
Last campaign finance report that wasn't It was like six four to eight years old, and his contention was that it was eighty three thousand dollars worth of debt to three firms, a law firm and some consulting firms. His contention was, well, if it's that old, it's basically a campaign contribution and should be reported as such.
So that free, basically free legal services were rendered on his part.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was.
Mister Hartman's argument. And then the Elections Commission they just ruled. They didn't really say much about it other than that it was an incomplete They said that the mayor amended the report and then just levied a fifty dollars fine basically, and that's that's what came to that.
All right, did he have to pay the law firms back, Well.
He's.
According to a f tab Zone attorney, he's currently repaying the loans since Hartman's complaint. And so Kurt Hartman pointed that out, as you know, nothing was being done.
On this until I.
Raised the issue, and so yeah, that was definitely part of it.
Fair Enough, there'd be some lawyers with a happy smiley face getting paid for the work that they did.
All right, I know you got more attention for the fifty dollars just for it being a fifty dollars fine than anything.
It is a slap on the wrist. I mean, I don't know what people expect by way of fines from the Oversight Committee, High Elections Commission, but as you illustrate, they rarely do this, So even a fifty dollars fine is a higher level than most. Clearly was a violation here, and that's what they concluded. Are pivoting over. You teamed up with Dan Horne to write an article about the CINCINNTI firefighters, and the fire department survey didn't paint a really pretty picture, did it, Scott.
Now, I mean only a quarter of the firefighters responded, which I guess if you look at a lot of companies when they do those surveys, that's not necessarily unusual. But the ones that responded, no, we're not happy with their jobs. They felt like they're not being lifted into by management. They felt that the hiring practices were not fair, that the promotions were not fair. This is something the work environment at the fire department. It's been a long
standing issue. The previous fire chief was.
Fired for allegedly creating a hostile work environment according to the or not addressing a hostile work environment, and so this has been an issue that's been ruminating in the fire department for while.
That was fire Chief Frank McKinley. According to reporting that he's fighting that allegation in his discharge.
Is he no, no, no, no, Frank McKinley is the current one. Oh I'm sorry, yeah, Chief Washington, Yes, and yeah, he is currently fighting that.
Correct.
Who prompted this survey? Whose idea or who is behind the survey of the firefighters? Because I would really like to see one of the inst Police department because from all I've heard about that, and I have quite a few inside sources there, things aren't that good by way of morality the in St Police Department.
Well, according to the city manager, this is part of an overall assessment of the department and they're going to have a report in a month or two with recommendations on how to make improvements and improve the morality the fire department. So, I mean that's something that in the next month or two we shall, hopefully we'll get more clear answers.
To yeah, but it was it's your report of this. This survey was conducted by last fall by a private firm. I'm just wondering, was that at Sherry Long's initiation or was it the uh the fire department union's behest I'm just wondering who was behind the survey itself.
Well, at that point, at this point, we we aren't clear because the city manager hasn't said anything beyond what we had in the story, and the report has not been released, wasn't released publicly yet we had obtained a copy of it, and uh so at this point it's not quite clear.
All right, have you just thore we part company today? Scott Wharton from the Cincinnion Choir. You can find the on line at cincinny dot com. Connie Phillich released the statement yesterday that I found rather troubling personally, but it seemed to be rather unprofessional for a Hamilton County prosecutor
to issue this. It's regarded that no King's nationwide dad defiance which has taken place on Saturday attacking without naming Donald Trump, but clearly directed toward Donald Trump and his administration. Did you see that by any chance.
I saw some online chatter about it, but I'll be hosity I have not really delved into.
That too much.
Well, I was just curious if you might consider reaching out to her for an explanation, because she points out her job as to prosecute crimes she goes. But all this is against the backdrop of such unconstitutional lawless at the federal level by an incompetent, childish, selfish, uneducated jackal
who threatens our very democracy every day. Even worse, he is backed up by vile humans whose acts and advice indicate that they want to destroy our democracy, and then ask people to join her on Saturday with the not Kings nationwide Native defiance image there. So it just seemed to be rather unprofessional for MI and my listeners. Standpoint, I thought might be worthy story to follow up with Connie pillach On Scott.
I'll put it on the list.
There you go.
Hey, You're always welcome here.
Appreciate you right about local stories so we can all understand what's going on in the city of Cincinnati. Scott and I'll look forward to having on again.

A twenty three if aify five KERCD talk station. Good timing for tragic reasons. I heart media aviation expert Jay Ratlef's going to join the program next he does every Thursday at eight thirty. Sadly, we have another item to add to the list, which will be absolutely no surprise to my dear friend Jay Ratliffe, because you've heard the news. An absolute horrific tragedy in India Air India plane crash two hundred and forty two passengers on board, and I've
seen the video. You can easily find the video. You have the acts of the aircraft in the air and I don't know if it was a stall situation. Jay's going to probably speculate on that what it could be. It'll be a speculation because we don't know at this point. But it was a massive explosion and it ran into medical ability described as a hostel for doctors. So the planes they reported it gave a May Day call to
air traffic control. This is right after takeoff and it just didn't get airborne very well and down it went. Looked like kind of a glide downward. But oh god, it's just horrific and I can only imagine the thoughts of the people on that airline, and prayers go out to each and every one of them, nationals from India. There were United Kingdom folks on there, Canada as well as Portugal, so obviously folks are reeling from that, and
there'll be a full investigation. I presume at some point we will get all the information as to what happens. But aviation made it into the news this morning in a very tragic way. So we'll hear from Jay on that. But we've got other topics to talk about as well with Jay Ratliffe. As is the case, let me mention Color Electric family owned and operated since nineteen ninety nine, Andrew Collin and his team of amazing license of course electricians,
well oil machine. I always like to point out they are because I've witnessed them in work in my home on multiple occasions, and they do terrific work. You can count on them. That's why they have an A plus for the better business peer. The customer service couldn't be better,
and the price is always right with Color Electrics.

See the talk station.
AY thirty on a Thursday. It's that time when week get the joy and pleasure talking with I heard media aviation expert Jay Ratlift sadly and I know this isn't a curve ball for you, Jay, because I'm certain you found out and heard about the plane crash in India and I saw the video and oh my god, it is just a horror show. Jay, Welcome back to the good morn of Brian.
Yeah.
I had a lot of really fun topics in mind for us to talk about, and that news greeted us this morning, and it you know, as with every aviation disaster, it's a situation of, okay, what do we know of anything. I've been asked throughout the morning to speculate, and obviously you can't, but you can also draw certain conclusions, and we can certainly do this with the video that's been
verified as the plane crashing. Was the weather, which sometimes is a contributing cause to aviation disasters, did not appear.
To be the case here right.
The other thing was that the aircraft did not show any signs of outward distress, meaning it wasn't on fire. Did nothing seem to have like a bag that would have exploded from the inside or something shot at it from the outside, So the plane wasn't on fire. It seemed to be intact. No pieces of the aircraft wing or vertical stabilizers were missing, so that seemed to suggest
everything was pretty much as normal. We do know the airplane took off, reached six hundred and eighty feet or so, leveled off, and then started to glide down, and the landing air was still deployed. Now normally you'll retract that right as you hit the rotation point as you take off, but the crew, you know, had their hands full here. And there's also reports that there was a may day call, Yeah, was sent out and Brian, I'll be really, really really surprised if that's accurate.
Kid.
Oh yeah. If you're a flight crew, the last thing you're going to do when you have moments is to stop what you're doing and communicate what's going on. Pilots are taught you aviate first and foremost, who cares? You don't tell anybody anything until you try to get a handle on the situation that's at hand. And if a flight crew took time away from the few seconds, that's really all they have of trying to solve this problem, whatever it was, to stop and communicate, that's just not
the norm. And apparently they had a pretty experienced flight crew. And what's going to happen is you're going to hear so many reports of this and that that you're going to find out after the fact wasn't the case. There's eyewitness reports that you really can't take much talk in because you're gonna have two people stand by side and one will say it was flying this way and the other one says, no, it's flying that way. Because your brains just aren't wired to process the tragedy that you
solve unfolding. But you know, if an airplane takes off and it has a problem with one of the engines, it continues to take off, they shut the one bad engine down, they increase power to the second, US fly around, and you come back and land. It's a very routine. What happened here apparently caused power for both engines to turn off, and that's a you know, that narrows it down bit. Now, there's no conclusions that are ever going to be drawn from just the video that we saw.
Have at our disposal. Boeing officials as well as the National Transportation Safety Board as an assist agency. They won't be leading. It will arrive and they'll help with the black boxes, and once those are retrieved and analyzed, they'll be able to tell mechanically what was happening. And also the cockpit voice recorder that will provide any verbal communications were going on, or any alarms that might have been
sounding at the time that could suggest what happened. But if there was ever fuel contamination, in other words, if water got in the fuel or something that contaminated the fuel enough, it could cause an engine to shut down. We've had that happen before. For it to have both engines shut down, I just don't know. I just don't know. And back to that may day call. I remember when Sulenberg and Jeff Style on the Miracle on the Hudson
when they had the double bird strike. They communicated it may day, but they were twenty eight hundred feet, so they had some time to work the problem, thankfully, and it ended up very well. This crew had less than seven hundred feet and if you're at altitude, you know, thirty five thousand feet and there's a problem, an experienced flight crew can say, okay, let's work the problem. We have X amount of minutes to solve whatever's going on here.
They had seconds to try it. Yeah, obviously, very very few options. And now the investigation will continue and hopefully they'll find some survivors. Oh my god, the images and the pictures and the video are just horrific, and you just pray that the people on the plane survived as well as nobody on the ground was killed. And only time will tell.
Time will tell, and you can pray that there are but seeing the video and that fireball explosion and the fact that they basically flew into a building. I find it hard to believe anybody could survive.
And we can later get into the specifics of the investigation. Yeah, certain things you're concerned about, but yeah, those are my initial observations.
Real quick, No, pilot, am I I know you are a pilot, but it didn't look like the flaps were down. Are flaps down during takeoff to provide le nor.
The flaps were not in the position that they needed to appear to be. But it was the air speed that to me was the biggest sinicare because even if you have a flap issue, the speed is going to dictate what happens.
Yeah.
The stall, the stall thing, right, and you know this, well a.
Stall would have would have actually caused the airplane to fall out of the sky. Yeah, you're right, that was Yeah, this one, this one flew and or glided is a better term. So that's why on this And look, the Dreamliner you're talking about, seventy nine airlines around the world use it. It's been been around for fourteen years. You've had a billion passengers travel on them without any incident whatsoever,
you know, as far as a crash. So there's a lot of Yeah, this is a workhorse for Boeing, and a lot of people are saying, oh, here we go with Boeing again.
I'm like, we'll time out.
You know, there's a lot of contributing causes that could be at play here, and we simply don't know because yeah, it was a Boeing aircraft. But you know Boeing and Airbus, ninety percent percent of any aviation access can involve one of the two, so you certainly can't draw conclusions at all. Here we go again, because that Dreamliner has a very very proven track record behind it and is an incredibly safe aircraft.
I guess lucky for Boeing it wasn't a seven thirty seven Max.
Well yeah, but you know.
They're going to be very quickly over there to see what's going on, because you know, if it was a mechanical situation, we got to address it because we have other seven eighty sevens that are out there flying fair enough.
We'll continue with Jay Ratliff after these brief words.
Fifty five KRC general horse.
We got a warmer, but more humid day to day air quality learning effect from the Sinseen metro area in Southeast Indiana eighty seven for the high sixty eight overnight low with clouds and increase humidity, eighty four muggy and scattered afternoon and eating storms tomorrow between five and ten pm, mainly eighty four to the high down to sixty eight overnight with a few scattered showers and storms and mostly cloudy Saturday, and they say thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon.

We've ever been in the cockpit before? Hey forty if you got CAIRCD talk station Jay rather fast, he's I heard need the aviation expert. We enjoy his company every Thursday for a few segments pivoting over away from the tragic Indian aircraft we have. It's one thing to have your flight canceled, but it's another thing to have your entire airline shut down. What's this all about, Jay, Yeah.
Silver Airways may've been around, I think fourteen fifteen years. Maybe they're Florida based company. I fly into Florida as well as Caribbean and Bahama destinations. They have eight aircraft and either twenty or thirty destinations, and yesterday they ceased operations, ran out of money and told send messages to the passengers not to report to the airport. Well that's fine if you're home getting ready to go on your vacation, but quite another if you're at your vacation waiting to
get home. Oh yeah yeah, So those individuals would be tasked with trying to get a hold of an airline and by a last minute one way ticket back back home because the airline that they had trusted has gone out of business. So we it's been a while since we've seen one just totally belly up like this without
any advanced notice. But the good news is that the you know, the number of cities they fly or few which means the impact is going to be few, but you know not if you're one of the passengers who's going to end up being stranded at one of these, especially if you're in the Caribbean or the Bahamas and you're trying to get back.
Well, and depending on how they I guess declare bankruptcy and go Chapter eleven or something, getting your money back is gonna be a little difficult from a belly up airline.
Yeah, And you know, if they filed chapter eleven, as many airlines have, they keep flying, and from our side of the ticket counter, you and I've talked about it, you really you don't notice the difference if it's Spirit American when they filed chapter eleven and in other carriers. I remember when United went through it a number of years ago. It's just something that happens. And as they do, you know, they organized that they keep flying, a far cry from just kind of you know, everything coming.
To a stop. Well, I guess they have assets that could be liquidated.
You might get pennies on yours.
That's typically the case because I'm sure if they are having this kind of financial struggles, they have a lot of creditors standing in line with their hands out for the for the what's left over, And we talk a.
Lot Brandon about the the flight insurance, trip insurance, and those things come into play because I'm a big fan of that because you never know what's gonna happen, and anytime Sherry and I fly, I'll get the trip cancelation insurance, which includes a lot of different things. If things were to happen and it's a few bucks, it's it's no big deal and peace of mind, yes, And to me
it's just a natural part. Plus, if you're really really good at planning your trip way in advance, as so many of our listeners are, you're getting a very big discount on your your ticket and as a result, many times you're the insurance is going to be made available, sometimes at reduced costs. But even if not, with all the money you've saved by booking early, you've got more than a month of money left over to make sure
that you lock that in. And if you're buying your making your reservations as we tried to do eleven months in advance, that is very prudent to get that and I can't you know, recommend that.
Enough fair enough, Well, you got another minute to show in this segment. Let's just talk real quickly about Boeing had a great month of sales, more than three hundred aircraft. Now, I guess the follow up question is, yeah, yeah, yes, sold them, but when are you going to deliver them?
Well, right now they're making they're cranking out airplanes at about forty five a month, which is twice of what he did last year at this time. But look last year Boeing delivered three hundred and forty eight airplanes wow, and the whole year. So if you see them getting three hundred and three orders in a month, that's not too bad that they had three camp so it was ant of three hundred, and they've had very few months that were that good as far as a you know,
kind of a blockbuster kind of month for them. But what that means is their backlog aircraft orders are now fifty nine and forty three, so they've got nearly six thousand aircraft on back order. By comparison with their friends over at Airbus, they've got I think about eight thousand, close to nine thousand on back order. So I don't care who you're buying your airplane from, it's going to be a while before you get it, which is why we've discussed many times. Airlines will say, hey, let's go
buy another airline. That way we can immediately have an influx of you know, two hundred new airplane not new, but two hundred additional aircraft that we can add to the fleet that will allow us to fly in the several cities that we just can't now because we don't have the number of airplanes to do it.
All right, Well, and you know, if you're buying millions of dollars worth of aircraft, and every one of these things is a heap lot of money, the terms of conditions and the delivery date prospects or anticipated delivered date is certainly something they're going to discuss, so they know in advance about when the aircraft's going to show off or at least some rough estimates it is.
And look, a lot of these are incredibly fuel efficient airplanes, and it's a lot of the planes that they are ordering are to replace some of the planes that are older in their fleet. So the thought is, look, let's get this newer aircraft in so that we can a save money on fuel but provide a better line of service for our customers. I'd love to think that's a primary consideration. It's not, and many times it's because you can accommodate more passengers on the newer aircraft than you
can be old. So now there's a lot of incentives for getting the new airplanes, and you know they can't get them fast enough.
Let's pause, bring Jay right, look back. Talk about airlines selling our personal travel information and hub delays. Always conclude with hub delays, find out it's a good day to fly out there. It's a forty six right now, be right.
Back, fifty five KRC.
One more time for the weather this morning, it's Channel nine says we have a partly cloudy day, a bit more human, I guess than yesterday. Air Quality alerting effect for since Sint Metro and Southeast Indiana eighty seven to high excuse me that to sixty eight overnight with clouds, clouds, muggy conditions. Tomorrow was scattered after indon evening storms They predict between five and ten pm. Eighty four for the high, but then again we got showers and storms overnight as well,
sixty eight for the low. Finally, for Saturday, cloudy with scattered thunderstorms likely in the afternoon eighty two for the high finishing up at sixty eight degrees. Let's get a final traffic update.
From the uc HOW Triumphing Center.
From mascience therapy to stress relief and cancer surveillance, the u SEE Cancer Center offers the region's largest supportive services program for cancer patients and survivors called five one, three, five eight five. UCCC northbound seventy five continues just over a five minute delay from turf Way into town southbound seventy five. That's sober five minute delay from Evendale down
to the lateral I found seventy one. You're often on the breaks from above two seventy five to Red Bank Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station.
A fifty hear fifty five kr CD talk station. Demand and demand, most notably on days like today. And we have that tragedy in India with the airline crash. But Jay Ratliffe, what is with airlines selling our personal and travel information to whom and why?
Well, the airlines have an organization or come entity. They own the Airline Reporting Corporation. It's owned in essence by several large airlines. It does a lot of things from an accounting standpoint and other things for the airline industry. But it's been found out that the ARC, the Airline Reporting Corporation, is selling light information personal data on passengers
to the Customs and Border Protection Agency. So the thought is, why are airlines selling this information to a government entity in not keeping that information private. The response was that, you know, we're going to support federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies if they're trying to identify persons of interest. But the airlines have not been, shall we say, fully you know, forthcoming with regards to what they're doing. But you know, when I look at it, it's the itinerary,
it's the payment details that are being made available. And I mean, the government has that kind of information anyway, So I don't feel as though it's a betrayal on my part if my light information or whatever is provided to a government agency for the I guess, the sake of law enforcement. But you know, your libertarian side of things, you might look at that and say, hey, look, you know,
is this something that we can look at? Does a Bobby And that was going to be a question I had for you, because I look at this as something that's not necessarily that big of a deal because the government already has access to a lot of this. I think the thought is we're trying to find in a timely fashion where somebody we're looking for might happen to be traveling to.
Yeah.
Very mixed emotions on these kind of things, Jay, I really do, because I don't like, you know, government accumulation of information. I mean, it's always there or we're just trying to protect you. We're just trying to protect you. Yeah, Well that's what the NSA says, and they vacuum up literally every communication we make in the world. And you know how good are they at produced at predicting future crimes?
And the usually are just like, oh yeah, we got a file on that guy after the crime has been committed, so you know what I mean, it's like we gotta reminds me always that movie Casablanca. We have a complete dossier on you, you know. All right, great, thanks, so my eyes Yeah yeah, all right. Well we typically I don't.
Trust airlines in the you know, am I trust for the government. Well that probably goes without saying, but it's just, you know, the irony is the government asked the airlines for information such as this during the pandemic, and the airline said, no, we will not provide it because we don't have the personnel. So I guess when it was requested during a time of crisis with the pandemic, thinking if somebody had got COVID, we need to find out
where they've been. That kind of stuff isn't important enough. But now the airlines are okay and selling that same information to another government agency. It just yeah, really yeah, come on.
And selling it, you know, profit motive, right, that's it. We always then unhubbed delays, jay rightlift. What's it look like out there today for air travel?
You don't want to be in Texas, Houston and Dallas getting absolutely hammered with some inclement weather, a lot of rain, a lot of wind, a lot of delayed, a lot of canceled flights. So if you're flying connecting on through Houston on United you might get a hold of them just to see what options you might have available to you. If you're going through Dallas US on American, do the exact same thing, because that's primarily where the headaches today are.
Going to be.
With the rest of the country being pretty good shape.
I imagine you're heading off to your next phone call to talk about the air disaster.
Jaybisies, Hey, I'm.
Actually trying to save my voice. I've had a cold all week talk until about Wednesday, so I was trying to make sure that I had enough batteries juice to make sure that we were going to be good for this. I'm glad, yeah, but no, it's as time allows I do it. But you know, this is the important one of the week. I always enjoy our conversation.
That's so kind of you, Jay, and I thoroughly enjoy our conversations. I do, and I know you to be a great man with a better half. So God bless you, sir. We'll talk next Thursday, and I hope your health improves quickly.
