Hey, Brian, how you doing today?

Doing great? Man? I hope you can say the same.

Fantastic.

Hey, listen, I'm a big fan of Thomas Massey's but I'm a little tired of his intransigence. This is a binary choice and by choosing to do what he has done, he's essentially voting with the Democrats. So to me, why not make your point very clear? Say it's not what I like, but again it's it's the I'd rather have fifty percent of something than one hundred percent of nothing. Yeah, and that's where Thomas says, and I'm just I'm tired of it now. Again he's a good man, but boy,

I understand your point all day long. Steve and I'm gonna ask him about that when he's on the show tomorrow, and I know, I feel like I'm pretty confident knowing what he's gonna say. But you know, is this a hill you want to die on? And I guess this point will be that he'll get re elected. And I appreciate the voters in Kentucky electing him, so, I mean, you know, make.

Even and he does a great job, but boy gotta get gotta get something done.

Yep. I like your strategy point though, you know it just it takes the opportunity to make a very profound point about why you don't want to vote for it, but for the good of the order and the sake of, you know, keeping our government open. Maybe that's he doesn't want the government open. I don't know, but we'll give an opportunity to speak up on this tomorrow. He's always welcome on the show. I dearly love the man and

Man.

Thank you very much Steve for making the point I truly appreciate it, all right, Yep, stock market lost four trillion value and they're blaming Donald Trump's tariffs on this, so the markets are like getting skittish and jittery. Wall Street. So far, I've been doing pretty well, but yesterday the SMP five hundred closed down eight point six percent from its February nineteenth record, shedding four trillion dollars in market

Well, we're.

Five point fifty fifty five car see the talk station? And Happy Tuesday. Always welcome phone calls here on the fifty five KRC Morning Show. If I get back to the stacker stupid. Let's hear from Mississippi James. Welcome back, my friend. Good to hear from me this morning.

Good morning, doctor Brian. Let me put a couple of things. Get your prospective bonus. What a fifty percent approval rating be good?

Okay these try in these times, I'd say that's pretty good. No one gets more than fifty percent these days. Okay, I suppose it depends, But it depends on what you're talking about. You know, there are overwhelming majorities, like, for example, people who don't believe that men should or women should play, or men should play against women in sports. You get like an eighty five percent of the population says no,

But go ahead, okay, I'll give Trump a fifty percent approval rating.

Okay.

You know, now if we look at it from another angle, we know fifty is off.

That's a failure. So you could.

Yeah, it just all depends on where you are stationed in life. Now, if you're in the one percent of two percenters, hey, that's good for you. But if you're on the other.

End of the spectrum, it may be bad for you. So you know, people have to look at where they're in life, what their gender, and quit expecting policy in this time. Now they shift again where the politics are the people we sent to Congress do for the majority. It'll never satisfy everybody. You do want to see that majority going and people, And to me, I look at it just as praying. You know, we'll have people beg in God to do things for us that technically we could do for ourselves.

Oh I was waiting for that. Thank you. You know, it's just like Europe relying on the United States to be it's a police department. You know, you shouldn't have to rely on some other country because the dynamics and politics may change. And you might be without a police department for lack of preparation. Take care of yourself. Do not look to government to solve the problems in your world, because you will always end up on the disappointment side

Get it. We got to get it out there. Where were more people understand this? Yes, you know, instead of the bashing and tef smashing and scratching.

Hey, let's bring it on the.

Positive side and explain to peoples and those they get it will get it. Those that don't, hey.

They won't.

Thus it has ever been God bless you missus when you coming back into town.

Man.

Okay, we've we've cleared the deck of the winter weather, so you are going to be able to come back and enjoy and relax in the springtime here Mississippi James. God bless you, sir, and the best of love to your beautiful wife. Have a great, great day, my friend, say five fifty three to fifty five kirsh DETALKX station. I can get one more stupid story, and I saw

Wow, nobody can.

Joe said he was chiming in on behalf of the eighty five percent. It's a privately run business man. You gotta play by their rules. Five five, Well, this is the world we live in now. Have you ever been in the cockpit before? Not that one night and not that one night, Joe, one night a month only you can't call it that stick around pleay to talk about in this six o'clock hour, you know, and more of that anyhow. I'll be back after the news.

Covering Trump's first one hundred days.

Every day, America's deadline is over.

Fifty five KRC being talk station the new I heard that this is the.

Six six here at fifty our karrosit talk station. If you're all having a happy Tuesday, one hour from now, looking forward to having it back in studio. Former an Inspector General Todd Zenzer, host of the Citizen Watchdog podcast Joe Chreker produced broadcast I might under score. If you need a podcast produced called Joe Strekker, I'll be happy to do it for you anyway. Todd Zenser returns to talk about Hyde Park and the efforts to remake Hyde Park.

Good morning, sir. You definitely let some flames underneath me today. Isn't it funny how the full circle of hemp has to come back on us because it was a very reliable fiber. And they've even found hemp clothing and tombs in Egypt. Yeah, and that was by mister Hurst so he could sell more cotton economics. Baby, that's what runs the.

World, amen, brother.

But what I was going to really get to is the power plants. Isn't it funny how the chickens have come home to roost because they have to buy power from Canada. New York is one of those states where they knock down their power plants that were cold fired, that will probably be burning ninety seven percent clean, but

Bright right exactly, not looking out for their own best centers, not anticipating that the dynamics can change the world's an imperfect place. Relationships get you know, broken, and uh well, and the sun doesn't shine right and the wind doesn't blow, So how you can rely on solar panels and a windmill to keep your power on. You literally cannot do that.

And in the meantime, everybody else has to pay more for power because New Yorkers are betting a higher price per kilowatt hour than the people in Ohio are. And then all of a sudden, the people in Ohio have a higher electric bill because they let Beckjor get flattened. And then right now that big Zimmer that was going to be nuclear is a coal plant, but they're shut it down. Oh please don't let it get flattened, because then we will be up a creek with no paddle on a cold winter day.

Certainly possible, certainly possible. Appreciate your observations, Pat, I can't argue with them. And you know you can look to Germany's another illustration of the stupidity. You know, they're the ones that are screaming and yellow about us cutting off foreign aid to Ukraine because well, they want the war to continue because they're worried about Ussia invading them or something.

Do we okay? Chuck Ingram Moon fifty five KR and seen the talk station HY six forty fifty five AIRCD talk station. Hey, very happy Tuesday team.

You see If Todd Zinzer has any to say about Corey Bowman, an alternative to the current administration, of the city CINCINNTA. Of course, Cory Bowman is running from the air of the City of Cincinnati. So far, apparently it's gotten help from the Republican Party. They're playing nicely together. Can only hope that that happens and maybe people will seek out an alternative for a change and give the

Good morning, Brian Thomas.

Yeah, let's flip the natty, buddy. I mean, it's time, it's way past time to get something in there. And this is kind of piggybacks on what you were talking about with the two dump trucks.

That gets me so pissed off.

They got to have some kind of.

Facility management team down there. It's overpriced, probably a three hundred thousand dollars a year job for some to pick up you know, cars, trucks. Every once in a while. You're gonna laugh at this I actually see a Crown Vic riding around with the police cars or police marked on the side in the District three.

I mean that car has to be twenty some years old. They even make those anymore.

No, they stopped making them years ago, and I was surprised when it's probably been a couple of months, but I saw one of these things riding around. It has to have three hundred thousand plus miles on which is kind of surprising since I do buy forge, But for a Ford to last that long is really surprising.

Especially the wear and tear police put on those cars. I mean they deal with a lot more wear and tear than the average driver.

It was a twenty four hour, you know, seven day.

A week car.

And then they talked about actually buying electric vehicles. You know, it's a three hundred mile range, let's say, on electric vehicles, when are they gonna plug it into charge? I mean you need time to plug in.

Yeah, it's funny because when they were talking about buying these dump trucks, I did write in the article and the margins there are they going to be electric? Because you know the city of Cincinnati has a green agenda as well. They want to be zero carbon emissions. And I can't imagine electric dump truck being really effective or practical under the circumstances.

Oh it'll be fast, I mean it'll get someplace fastest to four guys in a truck under a tree, But I won't talk about.

That one in the middle of the winter when the batteries don't last as long with electric vehicles. Yeah, just what you need when you're trying to remove I license snow.

But this city is so horribly run they just what is it the shoot ready aim or whatever you always talk about. It's just it's amazing that they can operate and actually get up in the morning and get anything done because they just.

Don't know what the hell they're doing.

I mean, they've got a lot of overpriced people that seem to kind of like shoot from the hip, and like I said, like you said, two dump trucks, they could probably buy thirty and they'd still be under undermanned, like the police department.

That is certainly possible, or even the fire department. But what's what's with with with the Vice Mayor of wanting to fund the Clifton Cultural Arts Centers Headquarters and Artworks Creative Campus Art Park I don't even know what those organizations.

Lives, lives and hangs out. All all the council people live either in Clifton or on the east side of town, so you don't have any you know, they forget about that. It's it's always funny. And I used to talk about the fact that the Mill Creek actually splits up the city and the council things that the Mill Creek is

Oh yeah, I know. I've I've joked about that. Someone that should open up an alignment store, maybe at the top and the bottom of the road, because it's it's just got awful. But it's been that way for years, Jim. I mean, that's why I keep the fall.

Tip of the iceberg.

Yeah, there's roads like that all over the west Side.

Yeah, west Side is always an afterthought as you observe.

Well, you know, maybe when Corey gets elected that he can kind of devote some of his time over here because it's he's i know, his second opening and his second kickoff is coming up and it hasn't been announced where yet, but we're working on him to maybe have a third one at Pricel Chili.

Just that's kind of the place to go if you're a Republican.

They have an event up there, I'm sure that'll pack them in.

Yeah, and if I if I plan on attending it, it means don't take Sunset.

Well I was going to invite you, but yeah, I don't think you know. And the car that you drive is kind of like the well, I don't have the car that you drive, but something similar that's load to the ground. I wouldn't even venture. And not the Queen City is any better. I mean, you go of Queen City and you got to turn on Sunset, I mean you got to dodge them, and luckily you got a car that can maneuver around some of those as long as there's not somebody without insurance going up next to you.

Yeah, but if you maneuver around one, you end up going into another one. Yeah, my car's not that big. I'll fall into the pothole. It's like driving into a sinkhole. Those things are so bad anyhow.

Just think the person behind you is going to be in a night and nice little as he cruises over your your top and your hood and your trunk, that'll fill up the hole.

He's looking for a bit, looking for a bride.

Unbelievable, Brian, It's unbelievable the way this.

City is run.

Yes, I mean I just shakes my head, shakes my head.

YEP, I understand, and I hear you out loud, and I cannot disagree in iota. I fortunately don't live in a city, and I hate to have to say that, but you know, I've received emails from folks as I'm out. I left. I left for the reasons you're talking about, and that's not an uncommon occurrence here. On the fifty five KCE Morning Show, So.

And Brian listen, I'd be great to listen to Todd about Corey because he's been going to the events and we actually had our our Republican club on the West Side had the first time that Corey was in public, he was up there with the other Republican that or the other gentleman that's running. I had him up there to talk, you know, on what their values were and what the city was about and this and that. And Corey put out the plan pretty well much less not what the other gentleman did well.

And the other gentleman has been widely reported has a social media account that is the Touts and has shown support for Democrats across the board.

Am I right on that, Bett Simpson? Butta jig, you can go on down the list. Yes, it's not a not a very favorable resume to you know, back up on somebody that's running as a Republican.

Yeah, just because you put an R after your name, Mitch McConnell, doesn't mean that you are true into Republican values.

And exactly and to come out and ask for an endorsement or state that you're a Republican in those things, You've got to remember once you put it on the internet, as a Lincoln says, it's out there forever.

Yes it is. Thankfully that way we can know what people are truly about based upon what their you know, statements are in real time permanently.

Well, I appreciate, I appreciate the time, Brian.

Here coming up in an hour Insights Scoop with Bright Bart, reporter Randy Clark on the Border and Daniel Davis Deep dive with the latest on Ukraine Russia. That will take place at eight thirty. In the meantime in video, Todd zenz Er, former Inspector General and host of the Citizen Watchdog podcast. Good to have you back in, Todd. It's always a pleasure. Thank you. Brian,

Oh, it's going, it's going great. I really enjoy it.

Great. I bet you do. You get talked for a full hour or whatever on you.

Know when I try to keep it to about ten minutes or so. Oh, no kidding, Yeah, So people don't have to listen to me for that.

Oh come on, man, you're interesting. And again you have all the facts. Let's start with this, since at council meeting yesterday apparently they had a million three laying around that wasn't used from last year the Capital Project Fund. You watched this whole council meeting on this, this debate over where to use that money.

Yes, I did yesterday and the ultimate.

Vote was to buy a couple of dump trucks to try to better manage the snow removal, but also spend three hundred thousand dollars on the Camp Washington skate park project. Something I had no idea about. Is there a skate park lobby out there or something.

There are a lot of enthusiasts for skates and BMX bikes and things like that, and they have organized and for the last I'm not sure exactly how long. But it's a million dollars skate park. Wow, that f to have Purvol mayor Purvol kind of took on as a project and they needed this three hundred thousand to finish the project. And it's probably going to be done right around the time where they need some ribbon cutting for the campaign.

Of of course it will be. Now, the question is do they have money for maintenance and upkeep of the aforementioned skate park once it's built.

Well, I don't think that's currently in the budgets.

They'll talk about that, no, okay, because they're supposed to have money to fix the roads, and I know a lot of people are having some problems with the fact that the roads haven't been fixed and have been quite neglected for years and years.

That's right, yep, huh.

Okay, ignore what you've built and build something else so you can have a ribbon cutting ceremony. Now, I'll acknowledge I would much rather have a kid ride around a BMX bikes or skateboarding outdoors in the sunshine than sitting in his basement watching our playing video games and drinking mountain dew code red. I mean the health benefits cannot be ignored. But see going back, Yes we want this, that and the other thing. We have a list of

Artworks is one, pig Works is a second one. Oh, and then I think the Cultural Center is a third one. And they were basically all trying to tap into this one point three million. Pigworks is the group that promotes or operates the Fine Pig Marathon and all the associated events. And the head of Pigworks actually is the I think

So the city taxpayer dollars go to these outside organizations for serving whatever purpose. And then presumably the outside organizations then beyond what they are structured or built to do and accomplish, like run the Flying Pig Marathon, also serve as a political wining to help the council people and the mayor and the vice mayor get re elected.

Yes, there's actually there's actually a word for it, Brian. It's called client teleism. Oh really, yes, you can look it up. It's called client teleism. And I do have a podcast on it and where I read a couple of definitions, and that's exactly what's going on. The groups and the politicians form this relationship where it's, you know, they help each other out.

Well, yeah, that's it. Sort of sounds like what pg sutent vote got in trouble for. I mean, can I say that out loud? I mean, it sounds very analogous.

Well exactly, and the protections that are necessary to make sure that all these are arm's length, it's very very important. I don't really think they exist. Here's here's on this leverage support. The city manager has a like a process for people to apply, and they go through and they fill out an application, et cetera. They justify their request.

Like the federal government has mandatory and discretionary.

Exactly, so that when we start giving money around, we have to make sure that we provide sufficient funds for those things that we must.

Do well in a certain respect. And I mean this with the highest praise. You're kind of the powerless Elon Musk in this situation because you're raising this whole like, well, you know, we got a litany of multi billion dollar programs that we're now finding out about that no one knew about, that our taxpayer dollars are funding, and that

I actually looked into the internal audit function for the city, and on their website, for example, they say that what they do, they say a bi annual risk assessment, which seems a little too frequent, But so I I put in a record's request to see the risk assessments. Well, they actually don't do risk assessments. So when you have situations like a fleet of snow removal vehicles that can't

Seven nineteen I fift about KRCD talk station, eye opening conversations so far right out of the gay with Todd zender Do. You can find his podcast Citizen Watchdog and learn about this kind of thing all the time. And we all learned a new word this morning. At least I did clientelesm and I mentioned PG sitting fell because we had this project, and PG essentially was convicted of the quid pro quill concept right where he said, uhh, you line my political action committee with some money and

Exactly?

Is that not equally corrupt? Is it that not in exchange of value for value even though it doesn't involve them handing money to the politician, it just works the other way around.

Well, I think it's it's in a gray area to be sure, Brian.

You're so yeah, you're so delicate, Todd Zenzer, No, I'm calling it out. It should be a federal probe in that. I mean, they looked into PG Sittenfeld, didn't they.

Yeah, Well, Cincinnati is kind of the perfect size for this type of environment because it's not that big and the politicians are still close enough to these nonprofits and local groups that this can flourish.

Okay, did they did they speak at this meeting yesterday? These groups? Yes?

They did. They In fact Artworks had several witness and the pig Works had several witnesses. I'm not sure about the Cultural Center. There was definitely somebody there speaking on his behalf, But so did the So did the local ask me a rep come in and thank them for the support for the equipment for the for the fleet.

Yeah, I said that. That one quote kind of cracked me up from the the union head which was which was pretty funny because clearly one of the discussion points was this is not going to solve our problems and so far as dealing with snow removal in the future. It was a Jeremy McClees, Yeah, the union Local Union two forty representative quote. While it seems like it's a minute drop in the bucket, meaning these two dump trucks, at least it's something in that bucket, right, So it

Yeah, well, these groups do provide services, but it's all tied into the.

Yeah, but what of all the other groups that provide services that also asked for money but this didn't necessarily get it.

Well that's a good point because last year there were over ninety groups that made application for these funds and there were thirty five in that group that got funded. So about a third of the groups that apply got money. The other thing that to remember about yesterday's meeting is Seth Walsh basically said, well maybe we can borrow money, yeah for the fleet. Yeah, so bond Yeah, it it never ends, it never ends.

This is just actually considered this quite disturbing. And you mentioned about the oversight pursue in to what federal guidelines dominate this or well, the audit.

The auditors go in and they look at certain operations in the city and they have to follow or they say they follow the government audit standards generally accepted government audit standards, and that basically talks to the level of evidence you need to make a finding and kind of how you have to go about planning your work and the right steps for conducting an audit. Right, those types of things so they say that they do their work according to those standards, but part of those standards is

And let me guess they don't do that step as critical as it is, because they claim they don't have the money to do it.

That's what they told me.

Yes, well, they just found one point three million dollars yesterday. I think that would got to fund that effort several years.

Anyhow, I'm not I'm not going to argue with you, that's for sure.

Seven thirty here fifty five r C The Talks Day, A very Happy Tuesday to Todd's inzer former Spector General Citizen watch Dog podcast. Let's I'm just appalled at what we just got done talking about Todd and I don't know if anything can be done about it, but it just seems like it's a system built on corruption. Honestly, it's a boiled down a thing that I can conclude. Let's move over to connecting communities and what's going on in Hyde Park and High Park's going to have none

Well, there's the the issue with connected communities is that the city just rezoned connected communities would just pass last July. Yeah, now this developers coming in is very influential developers coming in and once a variance from that basically, oh is.

That is that it? I thought the zoning, the change in zoning was what brought about this concept.

No, what the what the people in Hyde Park are saying is hey, you just with the zoning rules. Why don't we just keep to what the current zoning rule says. And the developer wants to construct a boutique hotel and wants it to be three stories higher than any other building around, and they say they need to do that to make the hotel profitable. But there was testimony from one of the witnesses that spoke that their analysis was

High watched onto those words very influential the first time you said it, Yeah, very influential.

So why did these three planning commissioners fail to show up? When was the last time three commissioners didn't show up for the same meeting. Is because they knew they were going to upset the citizens by voting for the project, or they were going to upset the developer for voting against it, and they just couldn't show up. I don't really know, but I think that's highly irregular. I wrote to the mayor and the City Council and I thought

Huh, or put people in there that represented the very influential developer.

Well, I think that's the problem. I think that influential developer already has some people on the commission that are very, very helpful to them.

So what is the status of the project.

Well, the developer has purchased the property that they need to purchase, but this issue is it passed three to one in the Planning Commission to go forward on the project. So now it goes to a committee of the City Council and it needs to pass through that committee to go to city Council. But the way the city council operates is every member of the City Council are also members of every committee. So once this issue goes to the committee, and I'm not sure when it's scheduled, that'll

Going back to your point that this is a very influential developer. I think we can see the writing on the wall, can't we.

Yeah? And and what's what's really bothersome is we went through this in connected communities. There's a community in bond Hill that went through this. They put the public through these sarades of community engagement and input. Uh. And it's like Charlie Brown in the football. Every time the community comes forward thinking they're going to be able to kick the football, the city takes it away at the end.

Well, I have to observe as we move into a break here that if the citizen who made the comment that the project will not be profitable the hotel, then what't won't it be just a dose of healthy shot in Florida for all of us to enjoy and watch the thing just tank under its own weight.

Well yeah, if it goes forward, I guess, but you just don't want to get there. And the only thing the developer said in response to that was, oh, well, we have two insurance companies that said that it will be profitable or that it's a good application or something like that. But how after five and a half hours. That's not the only discrepancy in the testimony. Can't How can the Planning Commission just not decide to look further

Amen to that Brother Todd's ends are caught at Shenanigans and revealing the seemingly corrupt nature of city government former Inspector General todds Enzer spending a lightning conversation and disheartening as well. Yeah, I mean talking about the you know, these handout to friends are going to work on campaigns ultimately, and it's all city taxpayer money, and it's just really heartbreaking. And the development of Hyde Park also seems, you know,

Well ARC stands for Alternative Response to Crises and the mayor and the city manager started this as a pilot program back in twenty two, twenty two, and it is essentially an effort to send non police to certain police service calls nine to one one calls where somebody, I guess it's the computer system, a combination of the computer system at dispatch and dispatchers deciding whether they should have a police officer respond or a non police officer respond.

And these are calls in the nine one one yes, all right, Well, that immediately to me suggests a need for a police officer. But I know that there are certain times people call nine one one in a non emergency situation, but this is for psychological breakdown kind of things, or.

Well that's how it was sold. Back many many years ago, certain cities started what they call co rec deponder programs.

CO as in a police officer plus.

Correct that we're there to support the police when there were mental health issues in a situation or in a call. And after George Floyd, that co responder program kind of shifted to a alternative to police objectively, a defund the police. That was kind of a big part of the defund the police is to have more calls answered by non police officers.

These are not trained officers, and these are people who are not armed, correct.

That's correct. And I'm not really sure what type of training they go through or what their background is. Personally, I don't have a problem with trying to support the police when they have situations where there's a mental health crisis.

Right, But that would require a trained mental health professional, right.

But they should be associated or aligned with the police, not with the city office.

And this group is aligned with the city manager's office.

Yeah, they actually work for the Emergency Communications Center, which the city manager last year, I believe, moved that emergency communications center into her immediate office. So, yeah, the ARC program reports to the city manager or the head of the emergency contact center.

And they are funded.

Oh yes, they're a big part of the city manager's budget. And see, here's the thing, there's no way in the world if I were running that police department. I've got background in law enforcement, not police necessarily, There's no way I would let another operation working in my same environment. You're setting up conflict, turf force, all the rest of that. There's no way I would allow that to happen.

Well, and if the situation deteriorates, you got one of these ARC folks showing up and the situation goes from non violent into a violent situation, which I'm sure any police officer will tell you can happen from time to time. They're not in a position to help to deal with that crisis.

Yeah.

Well, for example, when you look at the when you look at the data, the the ARC program only responded to like a miniscule fraction.

I saw your editorial on that was point zero zero six percent of the total calls that came in.

Right, But contrast that thirty eight percent of the calls were for trespassing, which last time I checked was a crime. Yeah, but apparently it is more towards homeless people trespassing on.

So it's it's it's basically, don't arrest people for breaking the law kind of program. We don't want to give these people a record, We don't we need less policing. We just need to show what emotion or something along those lines.

I think that's that. I think you're put your finger on it right.

All right, And with two hundred police officers needed to make the full compliment of the city police department, let me guess they have aspirations to take that money that would otherwise go to fund the police department to get more of these ARC folks out into the world rather than police officers.

Well, that's what I think. That the ARC program, the people that work for the ARC program are much less expensive than a police officer, that's for sure. But just just knowing how I operated with my budget, if I had vacancies, I was concerned that I would lose some money down the road. If I say, you're not using your money for what you're supposed to be using it for, so we're going to use it for something else, and I don't want the police department to get into that situation now.

But the problem with the police department isn't for you know that they've got these spaces that they intentionally are not filling. It's they need a compliment of trained police officers, people from the world who want to choose this as a career after having been demonized for so long. A lot of people who otherwise to become law enforcement officers aren't going to the academy or signing up for the job.

Right. I'm very concerned that Cincinnati may have a reputation is not a good place to be a law enforcement officer.

Yeah.

I know that to be a fact because I have lots of friends in the Since a police department now is low, that's.

Got to be fixed. I mean, if Corey Bowman gets in there, that's one of the first things he needs to fix, is what's going on with law enforcement in the city.

I'm glad you brought up Corey Bowman. Maybe we can have a word or two with that. Final words from Todd Sen's are coming up after I mentioned affordable imaging. Imaging is not affordable at the hospital. Bottom line is it's really expensive. I personally think four thousand, five thousand, thirty five hundred dollars for an echo cardiogram, mri CT scan ultrasound is expensive because I know it is when you compare to affordable imaging services, where those are all

In the meantime, you got a couple more minutes with Todd Zenzer. Let's talk about the election coming up in November. We obviously have a one Republican candidate option, at least one that seems actually to be a Republican, and you mentioned

Yeah, well, on the surface, the incumbent administration tries to make it look like everything's going great. But if you start looking below the surface, yeah, there are a lot a lot of issues.

But a lot of issues that deserve a different set of eyes.

Yeah, exactly, So a.

Worthy endeavor to go with, Corey Bowman. And I asked you about the charter rights off air. They seem to have lost a profile at all in the city. They used to have a really good showing and they always had Charter Right members or council. They're a good governance kind of run party.

That's right there. Values are good government. There are members of the Charter Committee from both sides of the aisle, yeah, across.

You describe them off air as an eclectic group. Yes, I like that. So Europe on the board.

Yeah, I was recently asked to be on the board.

So are we going to see some Charter Right candidates coming out this fall?

Well, I think they're talking about that, so we'll see what happens.

Well, but maybe they'll have to form a coalition government because with Corey Bowman actually at least maybe kind of having to be a possibility at this given the kind of things you're talking about the failure of this administration and the last several administrations to deal with the problems that all Cincinnatians face, like crumbling infrastructure, and they're woke ideology and throwing money at every kind of pet projects that that comes their way. Heck, you might get some

Yes, I think that would be helpful.

It certainly would because it would at least involve the exchange of different ideas. And usually when you have an open discussion and an exchange of ideas from different sides of the ledger, quite often the best plan forward emerges and is followed.

Yeah, you can see that. Up until recently, the city council was very homogeneous and there was no dissenting votes or anything. But lately I've seen several cases where there is some cracks in the coalition up there on a city council.

Well, like yesterday, for example, in the vote on what to do with this one point three million dollars exactly.

Huh.

Well, it did provide a wonderful springboard for you to bring to our attention what seems to be a quid pro quot thing going out there in the world with money coming from the city and going out to these non government organization.

I think that's a big area of concern.

Well, and it's worthy to look into further. I would just suggest I cannot thank you Todd zenser on behalf of everybody that lives in the city of Cincinnati, for being a watchdog and for looking into this and for providing just a wonderful explanation for the problems that they're facing and the potential for corruption which clearly exists based upon the way you've described it. It's just a wonderful service you're providing. And I know you don't get paid for it.

Well, it's funny, Brian. You know I'm on a federal pension, so in my mind it's your tax dollars at work.

Well, God bless you for doing it, Todd Zinzer. I love having you on the program and I look forward to doing it again. In the meantime. Tune into Citizen Watchdog. It's Todd's podcast. How often you do it?

Welcome to the fifty five cars Morning Show. Bright Bar b r E I T B A rt dot com bookmarket. You'd be glad you did. Today. We had Bright Bert reporter Randy Clark to talk about the unfolding situation on the border where things seem to be getting better and better, at

Great to be here with you. Brent.

Did you see Rashida t The Lee was the old hold out about the Cartel Border tunnel system vote yesterday from the House of Representatives. The bill was aimed at cracking down on Mexican cartels. It passed four oh two to one. They used tunnels to a tunnel underneath our southwestern border, and the bill requires some management and monitoring of that, and she was the lone no vote, no explanation as to why. But it was a nice thing to see some bipartisan ship.

Anyway, you know it is.

But for some people, you're just never gonna win them over, and she's one of them. And there's you know, there's a handful of others that will practically vote no on anything that's helpful as well.

Well, and vote no on anything Trump supports, and they still just Trump's been living for rent free inside their collective heads now for years and years, and if he says he wants to do something, they're an immediate no, regardless of how sensible it is. But he did demonstrate on day one that it only took some executive actions to actually bring about some border security. It's a remarkable,

It's amazing.

You know, I live about a mile from Mexico in Eagle Pass, Texas, one of the busiest border crossing spots during the entire Biden administration era, and it is calm, peaceful and quiet. And people don't realize when we say, hey, the borders under control what that means to those of us that live near and on it. And that means there's no debts, there's no children getting pulled out of

And one of the things that was revealed with the open border situation is the smuggling of unaccompanied miners and the obvious trafficking in human beings. That was happening as a result of that, and you think of these poor kids and clearly what you might you can only imagine what they had to go through. That that has stopped, or at least has been curbed substantially.

Oh, absolutely, we're seeing zero app henchion days in some parts of the US Mexico border. But those unaccompanied children you mentioned, there were nearly half a million in the four years of Biden was in office. Nearly half a million children were voluntarily abandoned by their families at the border to be used for a number of purposes. And you said, we can only imagine. You're absolutely right, because

Well, and they seem to have been lost to the ether here in America. I mean, they were reportedly, you assigned to home to addresses that had no dwelling. They were handed over to people that had no familial connection with them. I mean, it's just a horrific situation. You just wonder if, well if they're ever going to be found. I guess this is something that comes to mind.

Well, and what people need to remember is the federal government doesn't have any trained people on board that serve as child protective services. Those folks that handed over children to sponsors in the United States, most of them were contractors, and all they could do was a very cursory vetting

Well in other areas that are bringing about savings. I note again Breitbart reporting Randy Clark, the detention centers are now being shut down because they're now empty.

That's correct. You know, there's just no need for them.

And they were running ten to twelve million dollars a year in some parts of the country. Tucson had them.

Where they are.

Keeping them open, they're using them to facilitate the flights, the deportation flights, so they're not going to keep them open just to keep them open. And now we're opening hardened facilities that are used to detain folks waiting for remove as well, two facilities in Texas that are set up for families are starting to get the moth balls removed and they're going to be opening soon, and that's going to facilitate that those massive deportation operations that allegedly are on the horizon.

Well, we can only hope because the current focus for the immigrations and customs enforcement are criminals, not just illegal aliens and not criminal virtue of them being in the country illegally or unauthorized, people who actually committed crimes and some of them going back to children pretty damn horrific. Randy.

Yeah, so that's the good news.

I mean, we know that, you know, as the operations are ramping up.

That's the focus.

Over almost six hundred and fifty just in the in the last month in the Houston area alone, and most of those eighty percent were what you would consider is criminal aliens.

So that's a big deal.

We know, we know now we're prosecuting folks for some of the most heinous crimes.

Also, that's that's a good place to be.

But I think the administration knows we had unvetted people coming into the tune of tens of thousands, sometimes a week or more, and that's going to be the pace that we have to put into reverse to ever undo the damage that was done over the last four years.

Well, one of the mechanisms that the Trump administration just did to reverse that process is this turning the CBP one app into a self deportation tool. I thought that was rather brilliant what they did.

It was and whether illegal aliens take advantage of that feature or not is really not the important thing. What the important thing is is consistent messaging across the board.

Now it's also telling.

Everybody, look, that app is there again, if you'd like to self deport yourself by all means, go ahead, but we're not going to facilitate you coming in. And that's important to have that message because folks are turning around mid journey, not even trying to reach the southern border. Now they've decided in Mexico, Central America, as far away as Panama, we need to turn around. That's what messaging does well.

I think some may consider you exercising the option to self deport, whether through the app or not. But because we will fly them back to their country of origin, they don't have to take a multi thousand mile journey on foot. We'll give them a ride. Right.

Well, we've seen we have seen that already. We've seen some folks that are packing up and leaving. Like I say, we've seen it mid journey. But we've seen folks lead from the United States on their own back to Mexico decide I don't like this here, I don't like this climate, and wondering if I'm going to get caught on my

If you cannot get.

A job and you can't get benefits here.

You will not come well and clean up the social security ranks with active social Security numbers out there probably being used by folks who are not authorized to work in this country, because conveniently, there are a whole bunch of Social Security numbers on the system that are still open, and our people would be one hundred and fifty two hundred years old if they were still alive, and they're not.

Absolutely, it sounds like there's you know, some more getting done at least in that direction that we haven't done before in history.

Well, any other component of this. It's not just the United States and the environment and our cities being overrun and all the resources that have had to be dedicated to dealing with the illegal immigrant crowd, the school the housing, the food, the medical issues, but the fact that the Mexican drug cartels were human trafficking cartels also making billions of dollars off of this, so they get their funds dried up because of the lack of demand given the

Yes, and you know, for too many years, look at the terror they've caused inside of Mexico. You know, we get lectured from Mexico about their sovereignty and this and that, and in almost every state they've got some of the cities with the highest murder rates in the world. You know, if you look at the top ten cities in the world, the bulk of them are in Mexico. And these folks they're bringing that death over here and now it seems like we are getting to a point that we have

So it's disruptive jobs.

Over there, and we've imported the world's poor here and these cartels are just they're making a killing.

Well figuratively and literally.

Yes.

And the other thing I think the service that helps Donald Trump win the election, this immigration crisis that was created by the Biden administration. We had the infiltration of these various gangs and in large amounts, and these are the worst of the worst human beings alive. They are violent, evil and they also engage in criminal activity and drug activity here in our country.

You know, they've certainly taken the limelight of any domestic gangs. You rarely hear anything about, you know, domestic gang activity in the United States because these people are pros that leaving their home countries, they're extremely like you say, they're extremely violent, and they come in and they take over the vice markets in large cities.

That's what they do. They've done it in Columbia, they've done it in Peru. The Venezuelan and friend at Iowa gang. That's what they do.

You know, they fled Venezuela, but they didn't stop their criminal activity. They are here and they're moving from city to city as Ice goes to different places where you're seeing some actions in Houston, Texas, or you see someone in Colorado. Those folks are pros at just leaving. They're in Colorado one day, they'll be.

Back in Manhattan and another.

So they can be in your neck of the woods at the drop of a hat if they need to.

Have you noticed that in your area? I know you mentioned you live right there close to the border, but I guess the deportration raids in Texas led to two hundred federal criminal cases. I can only imagine some of the gang members are among these. Did you notice or were you aware of gang activity during this what i'll call crisis under the Biden administration.

Well, so that's what you know.

People don't realize is that where the transit point, nothing stays sedentary or stationary on the border. Everything is going to a city near you. They don't want to live in Eagle Pass, Texas. They don't want to live in Laredo, Texas. They want to live in Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, New York. So everything leaves right, So we see the immediate carnage, we see the loss of life, and we

Any goal pass. It's all going to you.

Oh fun facts. Although again at least Trump's put a stock trying to put a stop to it. They are they rebuilding the wall now that Trump is the Trump administration is in. I know they had the wall bought in laying around in pieces and the Biden administration started selling off chunks to it to scrap dealers for a fraction of what it cost us. But are they back to building.

Yes, they are back to building. And you just you mentioned something else that, Yes, this is changing. The changes are dynamic, they are visible. And that's the one thing that I think we need to focus on is that, yes, this border has slowed to almost a crawl to nothing any kind of action, and the tension that you're seen is related to the removal process on the fencing question.

In the wall.

Yes, where there are materials, like especially in the Texas Real Grand Valley, other places where there are some gaps in Arizona, they are starting to fill those gaps. There are still projects like in Eagle Pass, Texas, where we were building the wall that hasn't started yet, but my assumption is going to be that's going to be coming soon.

So, yes, the wall is back on right Bart Reporter Randy Clark talking about the border situation, and since you lived there before we part company and it's been a great conversation. You so like you have a renewed sumptive, a sense of optimism for your neighborhood, your community there on the border. Is that like a widely held perception that people are sort of exhaling and going, finally, we're going to get a sense of calm around here.

Absolutely.

You know, it's not just for my community, but it's every community from Brownsville, Texas, all the way to San Diego, California where they were dealing with these problems. But I think that's why we have a new president, because that's how badly we wanted this to end. Amongst all de demographics of voters on the Southwest border, we saw a lot of inroads by the Republican Party in South Texas counties that had never voted Republican, you know, in one

Well, I'll tell you what, Randy, It's been a wonderful conversation with you. I appreciate you spending time with my listeners and me, and thank you for all the work you do over at Breitbart. I just truly appreciate your website. Give up the great work, and I look forward to having back on again real soon.

I look forward to this day every week. I'm glad you do because I do as well. And okay, let's start with this because we're gonna get in, you know, figure out what's

Yes, that's exactly what it is. That it is trying to be pesky. Is trying to be annoying. Uh, it's saying, hey, we have this capability, you might as well use it.

Uh.

Everybody sees that the end game is in progress right now, and these these talks in Saudi Arabia are probably going to start to look at the nature of how the war is going to come to an end. And and there the Ukraine side is not gonna like it just because they don't have any of the leverage. They don't have any of the power cards to play. They literally

Well, I guess, and so far I mean symbolic, we're striking Moscow. You know, it's like flying a b B two or whatever bomber over and dropping some bombs on Tokyo for the purpose of boosting American morale in World War Two. You point out the obvious, it doesn't have any military advantage. They're not getting ready to invade Moscow.

It just shows that they aren't even attempting to do something that makes any military sense because you're doing these things into Russia. The targets weren't even military, so even the ones that got through, we're just trying to hit civilian targets something that they could to get the pr splash.

And I can't remember the region, but I I had read just the other day that the Ukrainian forces were getting surrounded and leaving them with little option to retreat, which seemed like an inevitable thing that we're going to have to do. Was that the area of Russia that they had taken over that we're talking about.

It is, Yeah, that's exactly what was happening in the Curse Carrea.

They had an option.

I was just almost pleading into the ether on my shows in recent days, just saying that that's what they should do. The Ukraine side, there was no prospect for holding them. They needed to withdraw and get back while they could, because Russia was having a pincer movement to cut off the one supplier, the one exit route actually supply and exit.

They didn't. They continued to stay there.

Now many of them are pouring out now, even without orders, but in a continuing process that Ukraine has shown almost from the very beginning back into Mariopal in twenty twenty two, in the spring of twenty twenty two, every time they get into one of these situations a cauldron, they never do the military smart thing of withdrawal their forces to a more advantageous position. They keep them there, fighting to the last man, the last house, forcing Russia to come

And this is just the next one in line. And that's a shame because it's been widely reported and I haven't read really anything to the contrary. The Ukrainians are running out of people to fight this war. So if you've got people sitting in an occupied region of Russia which has no strategic advantage other than say, hey, we've taken over a chunk of Russia and we're going to keep it, maybe as a bargaining ship in the negotiation, which we all know isn't going to be worth a

It is the only logical and rational and militarily smart thing to do. That's what they should have done. The whole curse thing was an operation of futility from the beginning. It never had any chance to accomplish anything of operational value for the Ukraine side. It had the pr value of, hey, we're finally sticking it to Russia taking it to their territory. That briefs well made people feel good at Ukraine for a while, but it had no actual importance to the war.

Effort at all.

And in fact, then over the months Ukraine kept sayding tens of thousands of people and to reinforce it and all the logistics and everything for something that didn't have any outcome of the war, and it was never I'll just point this out, never any chance that Russia would have traded that away as opposed to taking it by force.

Because that would have made them look weak and they weren't.

So they were killing a whole bunch of Ukraine people here that were not available on the Eastern Front where the real fight was going on, the one that actually matters. So I'm just sorry but this may hurt some people's feelings, but the general ship on the Ukraine side has been hideous and it's gotten so many of their men killed. That's why they have lost the war, and there is no prospect for them.

To get a good deal Jetta. Well, perfect segue to where I was going the deal in Jetta. What do you anticipate? I mean, Russia's got the upper hand now and it's a stronger hand than they had, say, six months ago. Are they going to hold out for even more? You always start with your best foot forward. You ask more than you're going to get, because that way you can negotiate backward and not feel like you're really losing anything.

And as I just pointed out, they were flying K fifty two's and fighter jets strafing into the area because there's no air defense on the Ukraine side at the tactical level. Why would Russia ever agree to something that can only benefit the other side. What I think is happening here, despite what some of the headlines are, I think that the Secretary of Rubio, Mike Walls and Witkoff,

We can get, or you're on your own.

If they don't agree to what the United States is willing to do, which is to just bring the war to an end at the best terms they can get, which will be ugly, then I think that we're gonna say then we're gonna walk. Trump has indicated that already, He's implied it a couple of times. And if Ukraine still tries to hold out for this great deal that they'll never get, then Russia will simply keep fighting this issue in the north With the course, Russia's not just

And I read the Trump administration the other day started denying Ukraine military intelligence. And if that's true, is that to egg Ukraine on and just to realizing, hey, it's not your Night nine invaluable intelligence or is there something behind that, like maybe as a lever to get this minerals deal signed.

Yeah, I mean it could be all the above. But we had General Kellogg point blank say that this is like and I'm not making this up, he said, this is like hitting a mule with a tube of four to get their attention. All the pausing of this stuff, which is to tell them. I think Fellas, we see the ground as it is. We're not the previous administration, we're not Europe, We're definitely not.

The Ukraine side.

We see it as it is, and you can't win, you can't even hold out. You either make an agreement to bring this war to an end or we're not gonna continue supporting it. And I think that he's Trump has not given in on that so far, despite lots of pressure, because I think he means it well.

And I think what you just said there addresses the folks who are yelling at Trump about selling Ukraine out and being with this puppet of Vladimir Putin's rather than that he's just a realist. I mean, is that really not what this boils down to?

And Brian, let me just point out something because this just makes me crazy because I keep hearing that kind of stuff. Trump is selling us out, He's given up. You had three full years to have everything the US could give, everything, Europe could give, everything, Ukraine could do, and they lost. For thirty straight months. Ukraine has been losing and going backwards. And you want to say now that Trump should come in and repeat that and do more of what has failed.

It's irrational.

They're going to lose now because of what we did in the previous thirty months before Trump came in.

That is a fact telling it like it is. Daniel Davis Man, I certainly agree shit your analysis, and that's why I look forward to the segment every week.

One of the fine physicians you'll find at OHC, which you can find online at ohcare dot com or call eight eight eight six four ninety eight hundred Doctor Sell. Great to have you in studio today.

Morning, Brian.

There's a month for everything, and this March is Multiple myloma Awareness months start by talking about what is multiple myloma and what are the risk factors for it.

So, multi myloma is a hematological aligancy. Basically, plasma cells and make antibodies you know, vaccines, infection, so forth. Those plasma cells can go wild and cause a cancer. The symptoms of it. These plasma cells can get in and dissolve the bone. They don't cause pain, but it can cause fractures that can cause the calcium to go high. It can be detected with a routine visit to a doctor.

Wow. Catching it early, now, obviously this is a cancer. Can it spread metastasize that kind of thing.

This typically can affect the bone marrow, so your blood counts can be low, but it can go to the bones, cause broken bones. It can cause kidney failure. So catching it early is really important. It's very very treatable if it's caught early.

Well, that's good to hear. So what should people be looking for the signs and symptoms to make sure that they can get out of this?

Really fatigue, there's bone pain possible, but it's really get a routine test with your doctor, that's it. Yeah, that's the main thing.

You say, asked for it?

Well, no, if you go in the test that they get where they get your chemistries. Yeah, CBC cmp is can be picked up. Oh that's convenient. Yeah, because hell, we all get those. I'll get like four of my years exactly.

Yeah.

Well, I'm under your guys care.

So, uh, what are now?

We always talk about treatments. You sound like there seem to be a sense of, you know, a note of optimism your voice that you know you get ahead of this, and there are treatments for it. What do they involve? What do they include?

So I saw a patient a few months ago who told me, you know I first saw you told me just about five years to live and she's at fifteen years now. So things that will really changed and not continuous terrible chemotherapy the whole time. The new treatments, like we've talked about Brian in the past, are the immune treatments.

Well that's very good news. Now, these are bespoke treatments. Correct, This isn't something you get off the shelf. Uh no, Okay, So how long does the treatment protocol go then, and how long does it take to build these cancer treatments, these bespoke treatments.

Well, the typical person gets kind of an oral combination of a monoclonal antibody like you're getting with an oral for about four months ago into permission. Then they'll get an outagus stem cell transplant hidros chemotherapy, which is fairly toxic. Yes, And then after that they're on a maintenance pill and that usually goes for about five years. At that point then Cartie would be involved, and then after that's going

Wow, so it's very long term. Yeah, well, it's ansors.

It's long term, and because of that reason and side effects are critically important. So we're always looking at doing a better job from an efficacy standpoint, but also make it tolerable.

I have to ask you this because you and I exchange a couple of words about RFK, you know, bringing health to our attention and making an effort to get you know, better foods, better diets, get rid of the chemicals the additives for all of our collective health benefit. How important in cancer generally speaking is diet?

You know?

I don't think anybody knows, but if you look at when we were kids, you know, First of all, nobody went out to eat you couldn't afford to, and there weren't all the restaurants. The food was sourced locally. He went to the local butcher shop. Now you go to the supermarket and the beefs from all over the place. So there's been a change, And clearly we see younger

Well, okay, I kind of felt that way as well, because the abundance of sugars in our diets, and I've been reading so much about sugar and its impact on our health, and having cut the sugar out, I always just to use as an opportunity just to tell people give it a try, because you'll feel a hell of a lot better, plus.

Treat your diabetes and your hypertension and cardiac disease and all those.

Well fortunate I didn't have any right well, but it keeps you from getting it, yeah, yeah, yeah. So in terms of clinical trials, I think you might have just gone on over it already, but I know you're always doing clinical trials at OHC, and you know, folks, you got cancer, you know, get a second opinion if you're already being treated by someone, or make sure you're on the cutting edge with with these clinical trials, because that's

We also have some from maintenance therapy that you know, if you're happy with where we are in cancer therapy, don't go on a clinical trial.

But nobody's happy.

You want to do better, You want to have less talks, to steal of longer, and people think, oh, I don't want a placebo. There's no placebo in these. You get standard of care versus something we believe will be better, and you're followed closer than you would be off of a clinical trial. So if there is a side effect, it's cotter early and we've closed the trial. But a strong believer. That's that's how we make progress.

Well, and that's how you've gotten to this point exactly. I mean, cart was they went through some clinical trials on that, and that's the information you have given me over the years, and the other OEC doctors have on that. I just find it truly amazing. I mean, you have eliminated some very difficult cancers just with this carteth there, correct, right.

I mean it's using your body, using your own immune system, getting away from chemotherapy. That's where everything's going.

Yeah, and there are some significant downsides of chemotherapy. I know that, all right, doctor? Any other words on multiple maloma, just a.

Couple of things.

This is usually a disease, you know, kind of upper sixties when it starts, but we do see younger people. There's an increase in your African American listeners. They should definitely be thinking about, you know, being checked as far as environmental. For the veterans that listen to your show, this is an agent orange related cancer.

Thanks.

Are all the Vietnam vets you know should be thinking about this too well.

I'd like to hope since they get via medical care, that they are getting that blood panel that we talked about, so they will know ahead early on in the game if their numbers reflected. It might be a possibility, right, doctor James Essel. It has been a great conversation. I always appreciate the work that you're doing at OHC, and I feel that I am in great hands getting my treatment there. To reach OHC again online ohcare dot com. Ohcare dot com.
