55KRC Thursday Show - Todd Zinser, Aaron Weiner, Jay Ratliff

we're not as bad off as Illinois. Man, what a train wreck Illinois as If you read anything about their pension problems. We'll alt's talk about mismanagement and a lack of accountability from city leaders maintenance of the city's fleet. They don't care about that. Connected communities or not, as the case may be here, you must do connected communities zoning unless you're hyde parking, which case we're not going to let you steer the direction of your own future.

In terms of zoning, We're gonna tell you we're waving connected communities for a well connected developer to build a massive, monstrous hotel in spite of your objections to it. Yeah, well that'll be on the ballot anyway. Green Cincinnati Plan also a big thing for our elected officials in the city, to the exclusion of other perhaps higher priorities for those that they represent the constituents, like safe communities for example.

Get to that topic in just a minute. Aaron Weiner, a member of the Clifton Community Council, about the street takeover that happened in Clifton the other day. Really awful situation, a bunch of kids running amok. And actually there was one of those incidents that happened just the other day in Summit County. Five people shot ten run over during a mass gathering at an Ohio school parking lot having

on Monday morning. It's in the Akron area. One hundred to one hundred and fifty people, mostly teens, mingling around a parking lot having a party outside the Mazing Community Learning Center, not permitted to be on the property for what they called impromptu get together, courting police three o'clock in the morning, going back to where are your children, Joe, When you were fourteen, would you mom and dad let

you out till at three o'clock in the morning. Absolutely not. Yeah, that would have been my parents response, Why are you out of your mind?

they need to be. Boy, if only more people followed that simple advice. They also said ten people got run over or hit by cars trying to leave the party. Thankfully, the victims suffered non life threatening injuries and maybe a wake up called to the parents. Jeez, Louise. Anyway, street takeover going on here as well. Aaron will be talking about that. Aaron's also running for since City Council, the Charter Committee candidate he is, and the Charter Committee still around.

Great alternative to the Democrats. Jay Ratliff I heard media aviation expert Jay Ratliffe at eight thirty got TSA making a major announcement about shoes. We won't have to take our shoes off anymore. Apparently British Airways passenger forced to endure a seven hour delay on the ground because of a mechanical situation. That is absolute torture. It's one of the reasons why I really detest flying. Situations like that lightning strike triggering a fire, suppressing foam at Spirit Airlines

hangar and a battery fire. A passenger had some sort of device and enforced adulta flight to make an emergency landing. Plus we always get an update on hub delays. Love hearing from you. If there's something you like to talk about, feel free to call five one three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three, Talk

Time five fifty on eight and t phones press conference yesterday. Yes, actually addressing crime here in the City of Cincinnati, City Manager share A Long said, the red bike and the Bird and Limes scooter device, remember we've banned They shut down the operation of those over the July fourth weekend because well, they were trying to use that as an experimental level to see if taking away transportation like red

bikes and e scooters would reduce crime in the downtown area. Well, they said it proved to be a success and eliminating the type of incidents people have struggled with. As the words of City Manager share A Long, thank you to the inquires Quinlan Bentley for reporting. Long said, the restrictions are going to kick in again. That will be this Friday.

I guess yeah, today's a tenth man time flyes by will be tomorrow and twelve Saturday, eight pm until six am, and then the city will continue to assess the restrictions on a week by week basis. Again. They described the first restriction as a trial effort by city leaders to combat a recent rising crime across Cincinnati, particularly in the urban cores. They also created roving Task Force. Police Chief

Fiji commented about that yesterday as well. At this meeting regarding crime, Long express concerns about these bikes and scooters being used to commit crimes and help purpse escape from the police. She said, they're being used to more efficiently commit property crimes, steal guns, and create quality of life issues. They themselves are not the issues, meaning the bikes and the scooters, nor are the vast majority of people who ride them safely, but they become a useful tool for

a criminals intent on causing harm. Bikes, they say, we'll still be able to be rented during the daytime hours and at night as long as you're outside of the downtown and over the Rhine areas. If you leave the urban core with a bike during usable hours, you can return the bike to the dock, but you won't be

able to take one out. As far as the East scooters are concerned, apparently they have an agreement with the city, these companies that run them restricting where those scooters can be ridden, as well as when they can be rented and how fast they go. So they're already restricted. Apparently from being running between eleven pm and six am all week long. So this is just a extension of that restriction. The question whether it'll do any good or not, huh.

And you know, it kind of answered the question I had the other day. Police Chief Diji at this press conference talking about, you know, the task force and everything else they're trying to do to sort of put a stop to the growing crime problem we have in the in the downtown area, she said the task force recovered twelve firearms, two of which were stolen. From June eighth

to July fifth. There were more than two hundred and fifty thefts from vehicles in the city between the eighth and the fifth, or of June eighth and the fifth, basically one month, two hundred and fifty fifth from vehicles in the city. Thirty four firearms taken during those thefts.

And that may prove to be the answer to my question because I asked Joe the other day, when you were fourteen, did you have four or five hundred dollars laying around to go out and buy your own glock, assuming you could buy one at that age, even though you're not old enough to own one or buy one. I'm sure there are places where they can find them. They might be able to find them because they're stolen

out of vehicles. The said where the firearms come from to paint a broad brush socceeoeconomic reality of people who might run around or randomly, you know, engaging in gunplay downtown shooting in the crowds of people randomly. Don't know who they are, don't know where they come from, don't know how much money they make, but safe to say probably not a lot of additional disposable income. So my advice would be, don't leave your firearm in your vehicle.

I think they probably have figured out where you stow them. Maybe under the seed, maybe it's in the glove box, maybe it's someplace else. But you know, there's only so many places you can stash a firearm in your car, And I figure, if they're going to break into a car anyway, they're probably going to do a pretty thorough job looking around for stuff that they want, like firearms. City manager Long said the stolen guns commonly use the

commission of crimes. Every single weekend, guns are being stolen from cars every single weekend. Those guns are used to commit crimes to cause harm. So let's put an end to that. Something we can easily do. Don't leave your firearm in your car. I know that doesn't solve the problem for folks. I status of the law murky on that one. I was thinking of folks like going to dinner, they leave their firearm in their car. They go to dinner, they don't take it with them because they're going to

be consuming alcohol. Presumably not enough alcohol to impair you so that you're driving under the influence of alcohol. But you obviously can't take your firearm into the bar restaurant when you're consuming, so you got to leave it someplace, perhaps locking it in the trunk. Maybe that's a better

option for you. I don't know, but it's something you need to think about because property crime is going through the roof and downtown Cincinnati, and I don't think taking red bikes off the street during specific hours over the weekend is going to stop that from happening. Five fifteen fifty five krs The talk station five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three, Taco a ton five fifty on eight and T Funds

love to hear from you. You've got something to talk about. Please feel free to call. I'll be right back after these brief words.

and some pastrami bacon and other smoked meats. Oh my god, it was so good. We had Pastrami's ruben sandwiches for dinner last night. Just a little extra perk. And yes, some days it's really really good to be me. When Kevin shows up with barbecue, it's a good day. God bless you, Kevin. Anyhow, if I went three seven, four nine two three, talk pound five fifty on eight and t funds all. By the way, A Wandering Monsters makes

a really great IPA. It has a terrible name though, guys over at Wandering come on, double Cheese Coney, I think was the name of it. I asked the owner the brewmasters, like, does it taste like chili? Because I don't want I mean, there's so many weird beers out there these days, it wouldn't shock me they have a beer out there that tastes like a Skyline three way

or something. Nope, that's just the name of it. So you know, if you have to do some explaining before you drink a beer or selected based on the name, I think maybe it might be a good time to change it. But it was a double ipa and it was just outstanding, So really good beers a dull Wandering Monster, So cheers of them, and thanks for the great customer service.

We really enjoyed ourselves, at least I did. Anyway, Just an out loud question, not going to run down the road necessarily, but does anybody find the whole Epstein file thing kind of kind of weird? Suspicious? I mean we were told previously that. I guess BONDI had the stack of information sitting on her desk and she tried to backpedal around that. The other day the client list was

what was specifically asked of her. It's laying on my desk waiting for me to review it, and then comes out the other day say nothing else will be handed out. There isn't anything to see here. It's all child born and we're of course not going to release childborn. I get that, But there were so many victims and so many perpetrators. You know, it wasn't just Epstein having sex with underage girls. It was all those that surrounded him. And we've heard some of the names and some of

the details of others. Aren't those prosecutable offenses? Was there nothing else there to be to be seen? And then the other component of this is and not to be critical of Donald Trump, And he got really, like me, think the lady doth protests too much, kind of irritated when he was asked about this by a reporter the other day. What are you still talking about that that was years ago? Well, you know, it's a rather controversial

issue swirling around this guy. He rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous people on the earth, from Hollywood celebrities to the moguls and big corporations. He was busted himself for for for molesting children, and of course we understand they continue to do it based upon the evidence they found. He had multiple cameras in all of his buildings,

and everyone suspected that was used for blackmail purposes. But I think Trump got a little over the over the line though with his response, but being angry to having that question asked of him. We've got so much going on in the world. I can't believe you're focusing on that. Well, you know, it's a question of one's priorities. Reporters don't have to go with what the big, giant, you know,

huge story is that particular day. And I thought this was I expose it's a rather prominent story for her to come out and say, no, nothing to see here, There is no list, that's it. It's over so and obviously it has cost all kinds of reaction, kind of a little more well angrier than I am about the whole thing. I just I scratched my head and puzzle over it more than get angry or just you know, assume that they're lying to me. It's easy come to

that conclusion these days. Is it over the bones? We go, Let's do what Jay's guy, Jay, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Friday Eve to you of my friend.

decided that we're not going to pursue this. I said, well, who is we, what staff meeting and by what standard did you decide that this wasn't worthy of pursuing. They wouldn't give me any of those answers. I kept pressing, and they said, if you want to pursue this. You can hire an attorney because we are here to defend the Ohio state government. I said, no, your job is to protect Ohioans, Yeah, from fraud, waste, and abuse. Asked to talk to that person's supervisor.

here's my recommendation. I think we help our case by listeners light up that fraud waste and abuse hotline, so that perhaps the attorneys at dan Law can find that and say, look, it was right here that there was multiple cases reported, hundreds of cases of fraud, waste and abuse reported to the Attorney General's office, and you decided that you didn't want to pursue this and strengthened the case, and I wanted to get your opinion on it as an attorney.

which is for strict which is unconstitutional. So that has nothing to do with I think independent calls for fraud wasting abuse into the hot while, but I don't think it hurts.

I mean, he's got to go after his boss and file a lawsuit against his boss because of the unconstitutional nature of that six hundred million dollars. So he tried to get into veto. It didn't happen. So either he claims there's a conflict of interest and hands it off to somebody else to do it, or the Dan Law firm moves forward with its private action and ultimately I think will succeed. So I said it's a summary judgment

issue because it's simply a question of law. There are no disputed facts going on here, nothing that discovery needs to reveal. There's the line in the budget that's where it says we're giving six hundred million dollars. That's where it shows where the money's coming from the Unclaimed Property fund. It's all right there, black and white. No facts at issue, just a simple question of law. Is it lawful to do that? Appreciate it? Jay, I have no problem with

people lighting the phones up like that. It's five twenty eight. More local stories coming up of them. We got the stack is stupid.

Oh maybe not. Let's see what Tom's got Tom. Thanks for calling this morning. I was a little worried about you when it in hear from you the b of the Oh.

I was sitting in a restaurant and I can look out, I can see Coleraine Avenue, and I can see other parking lots, and a whole gang is walking through the just walking through the parking lots like I owned the freaking place walk and at one point part of the group walked out in to Coleraine avenue and stop traffic, and uh, it took one guy in a little green car.

He he just nudged forward and kept nudging and then finally one of them moves out of the way, and uh, then they got back off the road and they were I mean, they're they're walking through DSE parking lots, blocking traffic, a bunch of foreigners acting like they owned the place, making a mess everywhere. And thank god, by the time I got done eating, they moved moved far off away.

But these Canadian guinees are absolutely ridiculous. Up with them, set up with democrats that don't have a great game.

Sixty four year old Frank Arthur Lawson pled guilty on Monday at one count of each of us sold a battery of a high and aggravated nature and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, sentenced to seventeen years in the South Carolina Department of Corrections. Charged stems from a June twenty twenty three incident where Lawson was at a convenience store in Greenville, South Carolina. Lawson, according to the authorities, and the unnamed victim, were in

a disagreement about who was next in line. That's when Lawson pulled out a nipen stab the unarmed victim in the throat. Fortunately, the victims survived the attack due to the quick response from the Greenville EMS and medical workers from a nearby hospital where the victim was taken to, and according to the Solicitor's office in an announcement, Lawton has a criminal history there going back to the nineteen eighties.

Corner to records reviewed by authorities, January eighty nine, pled guilty to simple common laws assault, original charge similar to the one from twenty twenty three, since he's been where he was locked up, so as salt and battery of a high degree in aggravated nature. Twenty eighteen, found guilty of receiving stolen goods. So yeah, just walk away. And we live in a world where an argument over who's next in line results in someone almost being murdered.

into his voicemail. You know, four digit passwords you log in, you get your voicemail messages, well, rather salacious exchanges between this young intern and this attorney, back and forth, back and forth. And as it turns out, I guess this came to everyone's attention to the partnership. He was terminated because of his stupidity to talk about Portia life choices. But then it also got out that a lot of

lawyers were listening into these voicemail messages. And at one point it was suggested that people who were doing that heads were going to roll. Well that went nowhere. No one got their position lost or was fired for tapping into the voicemail Why because apparently every lawyer in the entire firm had his past code and was listening in to his voicemail messages. So there's only so much you can do. You don't want to shut the entire firm

down in the name of enforcing the rules. Back to this dec of Stuvid, we've got Italian belly dancer of Egyptian descent arrested in her native country Egypt for using seductive techniques. That's in quotes. So Helia Terrek Hassani gag and naturalized Italian citizen born in Egypt does hold in an Egyptian citizenship, taken into police custody at the Cairo International Airport at the end of June, accused of corrupting public morals with her provocative dancing. She dances under the

name Linda Martine. Case against her triggered by videos on her Instagram account in which she writhes around in revealing clothing and describes herself as quote more than you can handle close quote. According to the investigator, she appeared in quote indecent clothing, deliberately exposing sensitive areas of the body,

and blatant violation of social values close quotes. Prosecutors and Kiro claimed that she, in their words, used seductive techniques and provocative dances to incite vice during arrest, found with what they described as a substantial amount of money. Italian embassy in Cairo seeking her release supposed to remainage oil for at least a couple more weeks. Reportedly moved back to Egypt several years ago, where she built a successful career,

previously married to an Italian. It's pointed out in recent years Egypt is clamped down on activities that they deem morally questionable. Five belly dancers have been jailed under President Abdel f ALCSI on charges similar to those against this a gag woman. Can you imagine living in a world where the governing authorities are the determiners and moral arbiters of all things that you do? This is like Sharia law, isn't it? And I thought that was Isn't that the

point of belly dancing? To writhe around and scantly clad clothes and you know, be seductive. I mean, that's like the It seems to me the very definition of belly dancing and what regional the world did belly dancing come from? Oh that's right, Okay, Well it is a stack is stupid? What more can I say? Plenty to talk about in this six o'clock hour five one, three, seven, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three talk go time five fifty on eight and two funds, Plenty

of subjects to go through. If you don't steer the direction of the conversation, I'll come up with something, But I hope you can stick around. Big things are happening, breaking news happening. Now we'll tell you more at the top of the hour. Is too aggressive and over the top fifty five KRC. The talk station is your retirement

PLUK talk station. Happy Friday Eve, Special day. We'll have Citizen Watchdog todds Ends are looking out for the interests of the citizens of the City of Cincinnati, the residents of the City of Cincinnati. They're some of shenanigans going

on with council and the mayor and prioritization. We got gun violence to talk about, pension liability issues to talk about as well as Tozzi Guna address mismanagement and lack of accountability from the city leaders among various topics, including the maintenance of the city fleet, the connected connected communities, zoning obligations or not as the case may be depending on where which neighborhood you live in, and the Green

Cincinnati Plan, among other things. You should check out his podcast. Citizen Watchdog does a wonderful job. A brilliant man is Todd and I appreciate his willingness to come into the program and talk about this. He really does a great job. He's done his homework. Fast forward to eight oh five Aaron Weiner. Aaron is running for sinca City Council's a charter committee met candidate. Charter Committee still around I'm glad

to see alternatives to the Democrats. We've got a couple of Republicans, and we have, of course Cory Bowman running for Mayor's a Republican. I take the Charter committee. We'll learn about what Aaron's all about in terms of what his vision for the future is. But also since he's a member of the Clifton Community Council, we will talk about the street takeover incident that happened there. And of

course it's Thursday. I heard needy aviation expert Jay ratlif with some fun topics TSA saying we don't have to have our we don't have to take our shoes off anymore.

That's nice. Are there no more shoe bombers anyway? British Area passenger forced to sit in an airplane for seven hours on the ground lightning strike, triggers of fires, suppression fom at Spirit Airlines hangar and a battery fire passenger head one of the lithium ion batteries, I guess, and it forced a Delta flight to make an emergency landing. Plus we'll get update on hub delays. I always enjoy

hearing from you. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three taco pound five fifty on AT and T funds and remember fifty five cars dot com when you can't listen live Jack Adveton, always brilliant. Judgemapolitano. Interesting legal subject matter with him kind of irked me a little bit, not with what the judge concluded, but it was a subject matter

that I really wasn't very familiar with. Kidnapping people. Uh, Mark Dan the Dan Law Firm a lawsuit that he and uh has filed on behalf of some people who

have an interest in the unclaimed property funds. He says the six hundred million dollars in the Ohio budget is unconstitutional because it comes from other people's money, and it is a long standing legal principle that the government can't take private funds or property as the case may be and give it to other private individuals, which is exact what's happened here. So I think Mark's got a really good case on the merits of the law, and of course it is really a legal issue, period, end of story.

Sometimes there are factual questions that exist. No, he said, she said, kind of thing, and you got to get to the bottom of it through discovery, so you can then move forward with the with the case. In this particular matter, there is nothing in dispute there. It is is a line item in the budget six hundred million dollars. They identify the funding source, which is private funds and the unclaim unclaim fund pile of money of four point

eight billion dollars. So we know where it's coming from and we know it's going to the Cleveland Browns project. So there's your facts summary judgment. Here's what the law says. Grant me the relief I'm seeking. So listen to the discussion. I enjoyed talking with Mark about that. Americans for Prosperity on overriding Dewines vetos. It's all right there at fifty five KRC dot com. Do you see the other day Biden's doctor asserted his Fifth Amendment right to be free

of self incrimination, Doctor Kevin O'Connor. Now he may recall the background on this, Doctor Kevin O'Connor issued a document and the document is actually issued by the Biden White House. This is four months before the debate performance that caused Biden to drop out of the campaign. Obviously, cognitive decline we all realized that over the years, but that was obviously the nail on the coffin. But doctor O'Connor wrote again four months prior to the debate, as requested by

the patient, Joe Biden. The following is the summary of the current health status of President Joseph R. Biden. The President feels well and this year's physical identified no new concern. He continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations. I remember it's an important point to note the patient instructed the doctor to let us know by virtue of this report what his health status was. Okay, no, I understand, Doc.

You have the patient to physician patient privilege, and you're not allowed to go out into the world and tell the world what my health conditions are all about. But I'm allowed to wave that, So please issue the report to the world tell the world about it. In his report, he covered himself. He said, as in previous years, I've conducted a comprehensive review of the President Biden's medical history

performed a detailed physical examination. This physical has again included specialty consultation with several of our presidential specialty consultants from Walter Ee National Military Medical Center. Specialties included optometry, dentistry, orthopedics, both ankle and spine, physical therapy, neurology, sleep medicine, cardiology, radiology, dermatology. Each of these specialists have independently reviewed the chart, examined

the president, and concur with my findings and recommendations. How about that boy, there's a big room full of doctors on that one, wasn't there? Instead, have also solicited my feedback from my respected colleagues, the other physicians in the White House Medical Unit who see the patient every day. Each of these doctors has reviewed my report for accuracy.

My conclusions have been further informed through discussions with several of my fellow professors from George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Wow, who didn't he talk to and get confirmation? Doesn't it seem odd? Do you think your physician would go out into the world and solicit second opinions on his conclusions or her conclusions about your

medical health? Generally speaking, after a physical an, he concluded that President Biden is healthy, active, robust, eighty one year old man who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of presidency to include those as chief executive, head of State, and commander in chief. Wow, okay, he is in great shape. Do you realize that this doctor's report was three weeks after after the special counsel of the Biden Justice Department assessed that Biden was too forgetful to prosecute. This came

after that. Yes, we have all the elements of the crime right here. President Biden violated the law, but it's pointless for us to drag him through the legal process because the jury would look at him and feel sorry for him because he can't answer any damn questions because his memories failed. Three weeks later, this report on clean

health comes out, so t UPD. Behind the door an interview with the doctor Kevin O'Connor, closed door interview with the White House Oversight Committee, who's looking into the cognitive decline of Joe Biden and trying to figure out who was actually the puppet master behind the strings because Biden wasn't firing on all cylinders? Who worked the auto pen? Did Joe Biden give specific authorization for all those executive orders to be signed? Was he even aware of them?

That's what they're investigating doctor o'conna a critical element of that. But he asserted his Fifth Amendment to multiple questions about his time with Joe Biden, which this hour long, hours long deposition was supposed to go a lot longer than it did. So obviously, when he's asserting his Fifth Amendment rights, you're not going to get anywhere, and so you ended early. Here's what was said about that, James Comer. I'm going to read the first two questions that were asked. Were

you ever told to lie about the president's health? Let me read that again. Were you ever told to lie about the president's health? Doctor? And he asserted his Fifth Amendment right on that one. Now, as doctors later said that, we want to emphasize that asserting the Fifth Amendment privilege does not imply the doctor O'Connor has committed any crime.

A fact to the contrary, as our Supreme Court has emphasized one of the Fifth Amendments basic functions to protect innocent men who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances, and they also asserted the doctor patient privilege. This committee's indicated the doctor O'Connor and his attorney said and does not intend to honor one of the most well known

privileges in our law, the physician patient privilege. The committee is indicated that it will demand the doctor acc reveal, without any limitations, confidential information regarding his medical examination, treatment, and care. President Biden, that's the attorney's statement on behalf of the doctor. Try to justify the assertion of the Fifth Amendment. All right, But remember now Biden waived his fifth or his attorney client as attorney or his physician

client patient. Rather get it out, Thomas waived his physician payment patient rights to privacy when he told the doctor to release the statement about his medical status. So I would argue counter that. But more fundamentally, were you ever told to about the president's health? That is not a statement that relates to the president's health and simply a question whether someone told him to lie about it? Huh.

So if you leave that question just floating right there, does that justify a Fifth Amendment assertion based on the physician client or physician patient privilege? I would say, hell no, it doesn't. It's a simple question, did anybody tell you to lie? Doctor? It's a yessweror no question, of course, if the answer is yes, the follow up questions, well,

who told you to lie? And you might give in more subtle nuances, For example, the second question he asserted the fifth on did you ever believe President Biden was

unfit to execute his duty? Now that bears directly on Biden's health, But to that, I would go back to the point that Biden released the medical report, and it seems to me that the scope of the questions because he waived his physician patient privilege in releasing the report, it seems to me you wouldn't be limited by the nature of that report since it does deal with the president's overall health. Generally speaking, what test did you perform? Doctor?

Look at all these people that you talk to about this report. Look at you put even put them in the report that you talked with, all these doctors, What did you talk about with them? And maybe the committee might want to well notice up a few depositions of all these other physicians that allegedly examine Biden or at least discussed Biden's condition with his physician.

They've got a lot of hard information out there which suggests that well, since this kind of thing was going on over years, and he was so well connected with so many famous people. There's got to be something back there. But no, no, nothing here, nothing to see, no list, And of course that makes us think that hmm, Democrats aren't screaming and complaining about this, and Republicans aren't screaming

and complaining about this. The only parton except for Trump, who was complaining about the fact that he got a question answer asked about it. I thought his reaction was a little kind of strange and crazy, which of course means that people are out there suggesting it. Well, Donald Trump's in the mix on all these documents, and I know people want to draw that conclusion. They can, but we're left to make up our own conclusions because it looks so suspicious.

city wide crime. Among the speakers since they manager Cheryl Long, who'd announced that they are extending the red bike and e scooter restrictions during the nighttime hours tomorrow and Saturday, You're not gonna be able to ride your red bikes or rent your red bikes your scooters starts at eight

pm least until six am. This after the well the trial effort they did of the Independence Day weekend in an effort to combat the recent rise in crime, taking away transportation from some of the criminal element, although they note that most of the people who use these bikes and scooters don't commit crime. Well yeah, anyway, Long said, there are concerns about bikes and scooters being used to

commit crimes to help perpetrators escape from police. She said yesterday, they are being used to more effectively commit property crimes, steal guns, and create quality of life issues. They themselves are not the issue meeting the scooters and the bikes, nor are the vast majority people who ride them safely, but they become useful tool for criminals intent on causing harms.

So as far as Red bikes, you'll still be able to rent them during the daytime hours and at night as long as you're outside of the downtown and over the Rhine areas. So if you venture into the urban core with a bike during that time, you can return the bike to a dock, but you just won't be

able to take one out. As far as East scooters, apparently, the city's agreement with the operators of the East scooters already allow them to restrict the time they're restricted five or seven days a week and can't be run in between eleven pm and six am. But this just adds to the limitation on using them extending the hours a little bit. I'll let you decide whether or not it works. They're going to continued to evaluate it. I guess on

a week by week basis. Twenty five year old driver under arrest on charges that she led to state trooper or what was described as a very slow and short pursuit State Highway Patrol, said Camaiel Wiley.

After an initial stop, they trooper moved the traffic stop off the highway over to a BP gas station near the I seventy one kings Mill

Road in exchange. According to the Patrol release. During that traffic stop, Wiley approached the trooper and stated that she needed to use the restroom and was leaving. Trooper gave several verbal commands of warnings, telling her that she was not free to leave and that she would receive charges of fleeing and eluding if she left. She disregarded those commands fled the scene to her nearby residence. Once there, she continued to refuse verbal commands and to be detained.

Attempt to walk away from the trooper into her residence, and that's when she continued to be non compliant. Was ultimately taken to custody. As far as the pursuit, the OJ Simpson like pursuit about one mile along kings Mill Road ending at Mason Grand Drive in Skyview Drive. In addition to being criminally charged, she was also charged for speeding. According to the Patrol, that incident remains under investigation.

four guns were stolen. That's what I was saying in the earlier hour. Listen, if you got a gun in your car, bring it indoors at night. Don't leave it in the car, because these punks obviously know that people store firearms in cars, and they probably do a pretty thorough check looking at all the nooks and crannies in places you might likely stow your firearm. So I remember

the old campaign lock your junk in your trunk. That's an option I suppose, and I know there's other complicating factors which make taking the firearm out of the vehicle difficult in some circumstances. But in the final analysis, if it's in there and you're in a neighborhood that's prone to have break ins like that, your gun's going to get stolen and then they're going to use it for crime, which was Chief dgi's point.

lived in oak Park, Illinois. That's where our first house was, and it was one of the first communities in the entire country. If I recall the history correctly, to ban the ownership of handguns period, end of story. I owned one when we moved there, kept it within my home, and my argument was because it's subjected you to a fine of like ten thousand dollars or whatever civil penalty.

I can't remember the ramifications of it, but I always said, like I said, now, listen, if someone kicks the door in and is there to do a commit murder, grievous bodily harm, or anything like that that would justify the use of deadly force under any given circumstance, then I'll take what comes to me afterwards. I'm not going to give up my right to defend myself because I might suffer some consequence. I'm in the right by defending myself.

I can make that argument we were going to die had I not engaged and used deadly force reasonable as standards applied to that.

So Aaron Wheeler is going to be talking about the street takeover incident, and we'll also get to learn about his campaign and what he has in store for his vision for the city of Cincinnati should he become elected to city Council. Jay Ratliffe, of course eight thirty with

iHeartMedia eighty expert Jay Rattliff. I've got a whole bunch of things to talk about with Jay, some a little bit comical and others more serious, like learning about why we don't have to take our shoes off anymore we get onto an airplane was just announced the other day. Here's part of the problem. Okay, you're convicted of a crime, you're in lock up. You're an illegal immigrant. You have an ICE detainer out for you. They're there to pick

you up because you violated the immigration laws. You're subject to be deported because you're a criminal, a convicted criminal, and the sanctuary cities do what they let them out and do not alert ICE authorities that this guy is going to be let out even though he's got a detention filed against them. How many you know how many? As I stare at an article that they just arrested outside of a Saint Paul area, about a dozen illegal alien sexual predators. One guy convicted a second degree sexual

ass sort of a child. One convicted second degree sexual ass sort of a child. Convicted is soliciting a minor, convicted the first degree sexual assault, convicted a ludelessivius act with children under the age of fourteen, convicted the first degree sexual abuse of a minor, third degree criminal sexual conduct, fourth degree criminal sexual conduct. A convicted first degree criminal

sexual conduct. I'm just reading what these guys were convicted of, all in the country, illegally, all in lock up, and ICE had to go out and round them up. Twenty five thousand criminal illegals back into the population thanks to sanctuary city policies not alerting ICE when they know there's

a detainer there. The worst California, along with Illinois, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Virginia, also responsible for releasing thousands of criminal illegal alien aliens back in the society, even though we could have evicted them and kicked them out of the country based upon their criminal status and their illegal status. And you know, it is a well documented fact. I suppose it's one thing to commit a property crime or to steal something from a store, but when it comes to

molesting children, the recidivism rate is pretty damn high. I guess it's once you go down that road. It's trying to kick a heroin or fentanyl habit. You just don't do it. You keep falling back off the wagon. Quit touching children. Oh my god, I can't help myself. And that's I mean, there's a large chunk of these folks that fall into that category. I just mentioned the ones

from from a Minnesota Tim Waltz. Anyway, this cis dot org report study total twenty two and eighty three criminal illegals released into the population since last October one, twenty over twenty five thousand released since calendar year twenty twenty three. California responsible for when the thirteen thousand released. Illinois coming in at number two with almost three thousand, sixteen hundred released by Virginia, Massachusetts thirteen hundred, Connecticut eleven hundred plus.

They also focus on particular jails, apparently some worse than other. The worst defender the Santa Clara County jail, where they were more than three thousand criminal illegal aliens were allowed to just walk out into the population no notice to ICE. Borders are Tom Holme and said, we're going to double down and triple down on sanctuary cities. Why not because they're a blue city or a blue state, Because we

know that's where the problem is. They're releasing a public safety threats to the streets every day, he pointed out. And of course it's a widely shared public opinion that most most by a pretty damn significant majority, looking at all of the polling, most Americans, most people polled, want these people thrown out of the country. They want them locked up or otherwise removed. Why because they are a

bunch of criminals, I mean, duh. Meanwhile, Democrats are, you know, pushing for federal and then in some states like Massachusetts, pushing for laws preventing ICE agents from wearing face mask and requiring them to show their name and their badge number. And if you think about that, you're like, well, these are government agents, these are people who should probably identify themselves.

But you know what, when you are dealing with a mob of Antifa folks, all of whom have facial coverings head to toe, you can't see who they are, doesn't it seem illogical to prevent that from the same right being exercised by the officers. Why because they're doxing them. The reason they want the officers to have to expose their face and provide their name and their badge number is so these crazy folks out here who are hell bent for leather to go after Ice. Look, we've had

people shooting at ICE officers. Coordinated activity he designed to harm a slash murder ice officers just happened the other day ten of a Morkan in concert. If you don't think that they're if they're going to commit an action like that outside of an ICE facility, you know, blow up fireworks, bring them out of their their their their building, and then mow them down with gunfire. If they're able to identify these officers, the officers families then become at risk.

And that's been a threat threats against ICE officers and their families up seven hundred percent according by all the reporting out there, they're the ones in the crosshairs on this. And I suppose it's one thing to make an argument that you should be able to go after an ICE officer for doing his or her job, but the idea you're bringing family members into it. And who's pushing for

this legislation the Democrats. The Democrats like the mayors in Chicago and Los Angeles, who are actively telling the power population to rise up against ICE. And I suppose one of the ways you rise up against ICE is you engage in this awful behavior behind the scenes by doxing them and going after them and threatening them and their family members and actually committing acts of violence against them and their family members, which has also happened.

various rather challenges. We were talking about this Act for Sincy program to are a blueprint for violence production that says on the cover of the materials achieving change together. This came out in January. You mentioned without any fanfare, without any formal notice, that here were implementing this program.

But as you just got done explaining, it funds a bunch of non governmental organization outside groups who claim to have the solution on various levels for the problem with violence and the system or in er in the system. What type of if you know, if any, what type of vetting goes on before any given NGO accepts money from the city to achieve their purported goal. There's got to be some presentation to someone, Someone has to add them to the limitless list of NGOs out there with

their hand hopefully in the cookie jar. So what process do they go through to find out whether these proposals are going to have any impact or effect and then get the award to the exclusion of other NGOs we already know. There's no follow up on whether the programs work after the money's awarded, but the lead upright, how do you get on the list of people with their hand in the cookie jar?

three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. And there's there is a program or a process for what they call leverage support, which is what many of these organizations they make application for those moneies, and that's that's become an annual thing. And during budget season they all go down in a congo line and request money from the city council and not all of them get it. No, That's what's surprising is how many organizations apply for this money they don't get it.

change or whatever, are now worried about gun violence. And their proposals they just switch keywords in there about how their work is going to reduce gun violence. Even the Art Academy, for example, they showed up many at many meetings requesting money and they've been getting funding for years and years, but the city council is going to cut them back. And they made the case that their work at the Art Academy contributes to a reduction of violence.

And they believe that, and all these groups that are working in this area think that if they do a good job, that violence will be reduced.

They deliver on better, better customer service, better pricing, efficient plumbing, wonderfully done plumbing. It's great work they do. I know because I've seen a lot of it in my house.

They last longer than ten heaters and they take up a lot less space. So consider tankless if your water heater needs to be replaced. Trenchless sewer line repair, no digging up your yard. They do trenchless with plumb tight plumbing.

So if you have a sewer line problem you need to have it replaced, maybe go with plumb tight for all your plumbing needs. It's always plumbing done right and they live by that model.

Is that a reasonable word to slap on the situation?

certain date. So they're supposed to be one hundred percent funded by twenty forty five, right, and when this when the agreement was as uh finalized, they were at seventy seven percent that ten years ago.

One of them is the thing that the Future Commission wants to do is they want to regionalize the waterworks and monetize that. Take that money, put it into the pension and make the pension attractive for the state pension system to take it over. Well, that that's going to do that, No, that's not going to happen. It's a long shot at best. It requires a referendum to get rid of the water works. So the only thing they're left with is to put more money into the pension fund.

more people taking out than they have putting in. And according to this recommendation from the trustees, it would take whatever the city's putting in now put in an extra two million dollars every year, year after year on top of that, and they're projecting that if the city does that, it will be one hundred percent by twenty forty five, like those settlement requires. And why we're looking at all these other options and all this other stuff. I don't get that just put the money in it set.

Lily is getting worse. So here's the money done, what's left over right right, absolutely, and then we'll divide that up among maybe infrastructure, repairing roads and keeping bridges together, and the fleet which is falling apart apparently got to have more money allocated to that and some other issues we'll talk about with dot censor.

one degrees. Seventy one degrees right now, let's get to traffic updates.

cleared from the left shoulder. As you're moving a bit better here, what do you have some pockets of heavy traffic like an I seventy five southbound Galberth Road to Paddock Road. I'm Heather Pasco and fifty five krc's the Talk station.

fifteen by calendar year twenty forty five. I mean, it sounds like you have forever to do this, but it only gets worse. Still blows my mind now, which leads me to the question before we get to mismanagement and lack of accounty, lack of accountability from city leaders on a variety of other areas, including like the fleet fifty percent of which I guess is out of service, maintenance upkeep prepares, some of it needs to be replaced. It's one of the reasons we had problems with snow removal,

fire trucks, all that kind of stuff. Right, So another simple you know, yeah, gotta take care of it. Maintenance, upkeep, and replacement is a simple function of government. It's a known entity. Do you get the impression? And I asked you this specifically, are they just asleep at the wheel or are they dealing with something else that's a higher priority for I mean from from their perspective for the use of the city taxpayer dollars.

a million dollars. That was a couple of years ago. Okay, so those are those are the kind of things that they do. They give it's it. It follows a very detailed analysis of you know, how the underserved populations became underserved and how they're going to work out of that.

You're just constantly providing handouts to folks who are dealing with that circumstance.

even know if the city manager reads the report. Maybe they could have taken care of some of this stuff.

priorities here on the council. Seven forty five one more with Todd Zenzer, with Ivan a few more of these related issues. After I mentioned Affordable imaging services, Affordable men Imaging dot com is where you find them online. It's where you get Echo Cardigram's MRIs CT scans and ultrasounds for thousands less, I mean thousands of dollars, saving thousands

of dollars for the exact same service. Hospital imaging department we'll charge you, like to say, for a CT scan five grand and climbing maybe you get a separate bill for the radiologist report. Uh No, I've done my CT scans at Affordable Imaging Services four hundred and fifty with no contrast six hundred with the contrast, and those low prices come with the board certified radiology support included, so I've never had a problem. My doctor has never complained.

The images are again exactly like the hospital, just that there's low overhead, and by keeping the overhead low, they passed along these massive savings to you. Jeff, you're out there.

Todd Zenzer in studio, he's our citizen watchdog going through the what I would argue failure of priorities by the decision making on counsel and the mayor went through quite a few of these. You mentioned the sidewalk repair. Yes, obviously we have a huge infrastructure problem in the city. I had the railway wave. Money was supposed to generate sufficient revenue to handle the roads and existing infrastructure. We still have a pothole problem. I don't know they've ever

repaid Sunset had to get that in there. But sidewalk repair now is sidewalk repair. This is something that they allocated money for.

identified by the DOTE the Department of Transportation. And the thing is that that the department already has a sidewalk repair program and it's they they you know, they do take care of like the gutters and the and the curves and things like that, and the property owner takes care of the sidewalks themselves. So it's a kind of a joint effort. And if you go back and look at the list of the four hundred million dollars in

deferred maintenance that the city generated during the campaign. Although I've never seen four hundred million, I've seen two hundred and fifty. Residential sidewalks are not on that list. So we have another four hundred million dollars worth of infrastructure to take care of. Why would we add to that by taking on the responsibility responsibility that's right now.

They keep getting further and further behind. So even if they said, all right, here's two million dollars we're going to allocate toward repairing the sidewalks, that doesn't mean that they're actually going to get repaired in any given calendar year.

Even she pointed out that, well, you know, if we do this sidewalk repair program that these council members are talking about we're not going to be able to do the other part of our program, yes, or it's going to impact our ability to do that. But the council members don't care. They think that we have limited staff resources, and they just pile it on.

I can't thank you nough for the work that you do watching out for these things and reporting regularly on your Facebook page and your Citizen Watchdog podcast. Folks, bookmark that one and make sure you check out what Todd has to say. Todd, I'll look forward to having you back in studio soon.

pleased to welcome. Timing couldn't be better, considering we've been talking a lot about violence in the Cincinnati and Greater Cincinnati. Aaron Winer's joining the program. Aaron is a member of the Clifton Community Council, but he's also running for Cincinnati City Council as a charter right erin It's great to have you on the program. Thanks for joining the show.

our calling street takeover on Ludlow Avenue. Apparently more than eighty people crowded street, blocking traffic, intimidating people and it got kind of and so much so that my understanding is the there was a fire truck that was trying to get out. They couldn't get the fire truck out to go on a run. That's kind of scary. This came up in your your council meeting on Monday, did it not correct?

out of the cars and just disruption. So you know, over multiple occasions, CTM had reached out and also our business district, we have a Business District association as well, has engaged the police, has engaged City City Law Apartment. They have cameras of it, they have video of it. And each time that we've brought this to the attention, you know, we can't prove anything. We can't we can't

identify people. So it's an ongoing thing. Which basically the culmination of this was what happened over the fourth of July weekend, which was one of these events, which was probably extra escalated because it was a holiday. Eighty plus people about three forty three thirty in the morning to four o'clock in the morning, so July, you know, July fifth into the sixth, and on Sunday, just the crowd in the street.

obviously could have been a lot worse. There was a felony assault on an officer, and this could have been a lot worse. There could have been a shooting, there could have you know, who knows where that fire truck was going. Where they going to someone's house that was having an emergency. You know, we don't really know that

part of the story yet. So I mean, basically, this is just sort of a culmination and and sort of the pinnacle of what was what's been going on in the neighborhood for a good part of almost two years. And I think what really sort of surprises me is I keep up on the news, and certainly I was out of town actually when this was going on, but it was shocked that this happened Sunday and I didn't

hear about this. No one heard about this un till Tuesday when the news broke through through our business association CTM. You know, why was this not it's brought out in the news. I mean, this just happened in Blue ash, which was all over the news.

It makes the city look bad. It makes Clifton look bad if we find out we got gangs of kids that are showing up at three o'clock in the morning outside of this hookah bar, partying in the street and waving guns around, and maybe they just want to sleep it under the rug. I'm left to speculate on that. Aaron, But this bohemian hookah cafe, according to Channel nine, they're open between four pm and four am every day, that

is past bar closure time. They're not a they don't have a liquor license, but don't the bars in the in the Clifton area and your community close at two o'clock in the morning.

but look what's going on all the time. It seems to me the natural reaction will be to post they have a broader, larger police presence right there outside of the hookah bar to keep people from congregating and engaging in this kind of activity.

that problem all the time, Aaron. The police are already working multiple overtime hours. They're short staff. I think they're down one hundred and fifty plus. They've got more people every day who are announcing early retirement. I talked to the FLP president about on the program earlier this week, and that's a frightening thing. And I know part of your campaign plan for running for CINCINNY City Council is, you know, expanding the number of officers and increasing the classes.

But that's that takes a while to accomplish. So we're dealing with the real police shortage here. Is really what this comes down to. Correct.

I fifty five k see the talk station. Let me first mentioned cover sincy, the phone call that you should make, phone call that won't cost you anything, the phone call that won't oblige you to do anything, a phone call that will result and cover sincy. Looking at you your situation, maybe your family's on your medical insurance, but it's all about medical insurance and you probably got one of those

plans or your employer. It's one size fits, although it really does, and lots and lots and lots of holes in the bucket massive out of pocket liability, most notably if you're, like on Obamacare, looking at ten thousand dollars out of pocket next year. Oh and by the way, that tax credit it goes away if you make more than sixty four grand in the next calendar years. So if you're operating with the tax credit, which is what makes it affordable, you need to talk to John Roulman.

He is your broker, working with hundreds of insurance companies across the table from you and John and his team they're not beholding to any one of them. They have an allegation to you to sift through all of the thousands of available policies and find out one that best suits your needs, needs which can change over time. So John on the team to look at where you are, what you've got, come up with a better solution, one that'll provide dollar one coverage in many many cases where

you don't have it, and will cost you less. Can you imagine that better medical insurance, less money? Does it every single day and to great satisfaction. The listeners that have gotten in touch with John and the team have been really happy. I get a lot of emails and communications about how much how the financial bottom line in the medical coverage is better. So call them up, let them do the analysis for you. Let them come up

with a better way. Five one three eight hundred call that's five one three eight hundred two two five five. There's a form online you can fill out. They won't give your information to anybody. It stays right there with them. Cover Sincy dot com fifty five KRC for more information about contests. On this date, eight nineteen fifty five KERR CD talk Station Ryan Thomas with Aaron Weiner running for

Cincinnia City Council. You have a choice out there. You don't have to go with the same old, same old. Doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of stupidity if you're expecting a different result. Weiner for Cincinnati we I an e R fo R Cincinnati dot COM's his website for his campaign, or he can find him on Facebook at Aaron with two A's Winer for Cincinnati City Council. Aaron, what of your priorities? And

I appreciate your priorities public safety and law enforcement. Along the lines of what we've been talking about youth violence and crime prevention. Quite often these roving gangs include a bunch of underage young people. How they are out in how they get away with being out at three o'clock in the morning, That to me seems a family issue. But we do have a curfew. And one thing I

learned from the FOP president other's on law enforcement. They don't even bother picking them up for truancy violations because nothing is ever done. There's no room at the inn in terms of locking them up overnight, and the judicial system usually just dismisses the case outright, just no done, We're gonna let him go. So how do we solve that problem? Because that's a critical leg of the criminal

justice system is unishment. It acts as a deterrence to others they know they're going to get in trouble if they do something, and it also punishes the person who broke the law. If you take that out, I say, you basically destroyed the concept of law enforcement.

It's certainly in certainly kids do need things to do. You know, we can't go to King's Island anymore under a certainty, So I get it. There's you know, there's there's things that I could have done as a kid that maybe people can't do now. So I totally get that. But still it does it does boil down to if X happens, then why will happen as well? And I do think we did need to take take this seriously

and actually have consequences. And you know, you know, the magistrates can't just release someone back if they've gotten to trouble. Let's let's let's have a plan on that that does have some consequences. Does take away some freedoms for a while. Yeah, and hopefully that curbs the problem.

They first shove connected communities as a zoning concept on all of the neighborhoods without consulting them and regardless of whether or not they were interested in it, and then offer waivers to connected developers like in Hyde Park to go outside of connected communities and build whatever it is these developers.

for cos Council for a long time. But that's sort of what catapulted me into jumping into the race, because all of a sudden, I became a stakeholder in this in this this large issues, so to get to get back to connected communities. And obviously I'm in real estate, so I'm sitting in my real estate office. I'm for development. I've been around for all the genres of development in Cincinnati, from when they were building the comments of the in the Central Business District to Gate Recorder to OTR to

Main Street to Walla Hill. I've been involved in all of them. I'm for development right. What I'm against are a couple things. The first thing is, you know we have we are a unique city of hill of Hills and the River. To have a one size fits all brushstroke across the city does not make sense to me. If you get in your car and you drive from College Hill down the North Side and in the Clifton and each neighborhood has different needs, So why would we

have a brushstroke across the whole city? Is a one size fits all, you know. Getting getting back to Clifton, where this where this whole incident happened, we were talking about. You know, one of the things we didn't talk about is there's apartment buildings all around there that are getting that we're involved. There's density in Clifton.

that we preserve the architecture. There's a reason why fifty movies have been filmed in since and now you're over the last several years, over the last many years. It's our architecture, it's our character, you know, that's an asset we.

it fixed at Foreign Exchange Westchester location. Just head up or down seventy five, take the Toyllersville exit and head east. Really short jogged at Kinglnd. Drive just two streets and right and you're there. Great team of folks that they'll treat you wonderfully. Customer services outstanding is as certified master technician will be working on your car. They have access to your manufacturer's technical information and you won't pay as much.

Heap loads of money. I've saved tons over the years taken it to foreign exchange. With auto repairs getting more and more expensive almost every moment, take advantage of the great work that foreign exchange can do for you. Five one three six, four four twenty six twenty six.

northbound Grand Avenue to I seventy one. I'm Heather Pasco on fifty five KRC the talk station.

It's not going to happen. If I can, I'm going to get an exit row, or we get those sharing al fly with the Delta non refundable first class tickets. We'll be up front. So I'm going to get as close to that forward door as I can because there's a ten minute lag between the time that door opens and the last person comes off the airplane, sometimes more than that, and on a tight connection, you need every

minute you can get. But yeah, the more people do that, you know, shooting up the aisle, the more that people just kind of stand up and get out of their or getting their way, not to be mean, but simply to say, let's just wait your turn, because you've got other people that have tight connections as well. But for some strange reason, Brian, they it's all about me, and I don't care what other people think of me, And sadly some people think I'm never going to see these

people again. So if I act like a horse's ass, in front of them.

twenty years. But Brian, remember we did that because the old magnetometers had a dead spot at the bottom and the very top, so that if somebody kind of shuffled their feet through and they had something in their shoes, it wouldn't pick.

maybe some isolated showers or storms later. Eighty six will be the high clear ofver night, seventy Tomorrow high on ninety with a slight chance of isolated rain in the afternoon, very humid tomorrow, seventy one overnight and also muggy clear skuys and Saturday, a decent chance for rain is what they're saying. They're also saying ninety one will be the high seventy three. Now. Traffic times.

The two right lanes are blocked. I'm Heather Pasco on fifty five KARC the talk station.

out there and we should be updated anytime. So still kind of waiting to see what that preliminary report is going to indicate, And of course some of that will reflect some of the initial data gleaned off the two black boxes, yeah, voice recorder and the flight data recorder, and that's going to be very very interesting to see what we find out from there and kind of get an idea of the direction that the investigation could be taking.

So yeah, nothing yet, but very anxious, and I'm hoping, obviously long before we talk again, we'll have some of those details if you need me before Thursday.

Why aren't we going somewhere. There's no way I could maintain my composure without a healthy dose of some kind of pharmaceutical in a seven hour delay under that circumstance. What's the story on this British airway thing?

get the air conditioning system back up and running. So they waited a bit, got up there, replaced the fuse. It tripped again, so they're thinking, okay, now you've got a full plane of passengers. Yeah, that could take forty five minutes to an hour to board. So the obvious thought is based on previous issues with this exact same component. It's a pretty easy fix, so you would never get everybody off the plane, fix it and then wait an hour to get everybody back on the plane before we

could take off. The best approach is to go ahead and keep everybody on board so that you can get this fixed and immediately you can roll and take off. But the problem is you have to have a point at which you say enough is enough. So they kept trying and trying and trying to fix this issue, and you're right, they were on the plane for seven hours. They finally had to call in the fire department who came on board to treat some of the people that were passing out, and they said, look, the fumes in

the cabin are toxic. Get everybody off this airplane now. So the seven hour nightmare didn't end because British Airways finally made the call. It's because the fire department got on board and said, get everybody off of this airplane now. As a passenger, I mean seven hours of going nowhere.

and you're sitting and you're idling, things change. And what was happening you were starting to have a build up of some of these fumes that were coming off the canon now and that's what was being raised ever so slightly at the time that for the for the fire department who walk into it, boom, it hits them in the face, versus somebody that's sitting there maybe accustomed to what was going on.

that's on board that aircraft. Now some of that was born, of course, out of the nightmare we had at Northwest Airlines back in the late nineties when there was a thunderstorm that should have closed the Detroit airport. They did not.

That's not Northwest, that's the airport, and you had all these planes land and then all of a sudden, this blizzard thing comes through and you had airplanes stuck everywhere, and you had airplanes out there for nine ten eleven hours on the airplane trying to make it back to the terminal and simply too dangerous to taxi. And you know,

they just kind of got snowed in everywhere. And that's when a little bit later they said, look, we've got to do something about this, and they did, and they've got some good rules in place.

and storms are possible. We'll reach eighty six for the high, down to seventy overnight with clear skies. Ninety the high Tomorrow. They'll be humid and I'll have a slight chance of isolator rain in the afternoon. It'll be clear overy night it'll be muggy as well. Seventy one for the well and Saturday going all the way up to ninety one and a decent chance of rain. Their predicting closing out at seventy four. Time for final traffic chucks from.

seventy five East ramp to seventy five South. There the left lane is blocked and we do have stop and go traffic seventy five South und hobbled for Washington Way. I'm Heather Pasco on fifty five KR see the talk station.

storm this week that triggered that fire suppression system. There wasn't a fire, but it thought there was and that's when the foam was let go and Brian, it went everywhere, no partially burying. Five planes had to be taken out of service for inspection. Actually started to ooze out onto the tarmac. It looked like snow as it kind of oozed out of the hangar. It was everywhere, and some of this is a bit corrosive, so it's not the kind of thing you just, you know, chive the kids

in and say go play. So what happens is you've got this massive cleanup and then you have to inspect the airplanes that were there. I think they took three or four of them out of service just to make sure that nothing adyonics wise was compromised with that particular situation. But you know, I'm sure they test that fire suppression system every so often. I don't think quite to this extent.

But if you get the chance, you can google the image on Spirit Airlines of the hangar and you'll see exactly what we're talking about.

attendants to firefight. They have the fire spression bags, the procedures, they're able to quickly contain it, but as the cabin was being filled with smoke. So you've got the flight crew that in the meantime is declaring an emergency landing in Fort Myers. And this is again just another of the bazilion examples we've had around the world of these things overheating representing a very real safety hazard to commercial aviation, and that's one of the reasons that the Federal Aviation

Administration has banned the Samsung Galaxy seven. I think we talked about the Phone sixteen, and Brian I suspect there's going to be more. There's no way that we can continue to allow these types of real risks on board airplanes where it takes us fifteen or twenty minutes to land that airplane in an emergency because there's no way

to put a fire out. That's one of the reasons if one of these devices gets stuck in a seat, you see panic on the flight right because they know if it starts to catch on fire, they don't have a protocol. They can't extendish something that big. That's why the aircraft will immediately declare an emergency and get they'll get that airplane on the ground fast because they're worried about it starting the smolder catching on fire and their inability to contain it and then providing a huge safety

issue on board that airplane. So do we wait for an accident before we take a bigger step or are we going to do something now? It's going to be up to the FA to see what they want to do.

anybody from tracking them or whatever. If you could have a fire suppression bag and have the passengers obligated to keep their phones in that bag or have that right there with them, to the extent they have to get it out and use it for any particular reason, it would negate to a large extent the larger problems like fumes filling up the cabin and maybe a bigger fire happening. It just would cost money.

are an individual. So yeah, the idea of trying to eliminate them from every flight, it's not something we can do practically because that's just not going to happen. But we've got to do something because you can look at an aircraft. There's pictures. I forget the International carrier that had one of these battery fires that got out of control. They were at the gate, briant burned off the entire

top of the aircraft. Now there's a video that's some kids going through an airport with a phone in his backpack and it catches on fire and within seconds the entire backpack is on fire. These things burned hot, they burn quick, and they are dangerous and it's something that you know when you're talking about safety and aviation. It's one of the biggest concerns we have right now. That's why Southwest Airlines says, if you're going to charge your battery, you have to do it where you can see it.

Don't have it charging in an overhead bin that might catch on fire, smolder, and we don't know about it until it's a bigger issue. You're seeing different airlines take different positions to try to combat it to one degree or another. But all we're doing is taking half steps to the measure and a lot more has got to be done. And yeah, every week you and I are talking about this crazy all right.

one of these cities before it reaches you. But as always, get to the airport extra early two hours before him at waifers any problems, the agents have an opportunity to take.

there and it's been an ongoing issue. He's also running for since Atty City Council as a charter right. He had some good He's got some good things on his website.
