Frank an author of the book The Cock Fight Teacher Falsely Accused at the center

of defense Attorney's new book, The Cockfight. Federal and state criminal defense attorney Frank Abrams joins the program at seven point forty, unveiling the devastating consequences of being falsely accused

and convicted of a crime. Frightening stuff. That's why I don't believe in the death penalty anyhow, draw your own conclusions on that one anyway, Frank at seven forty in studio Brian Patrick Frank running against aftab Parvoll for mayor, and we get the benefit of having frankin studio to talk about his run and an And I know we have an ever changing political landscape, and I'm not quite sure that Cincinnati is capable of well turning the corner

and righting the ship. But Brian Frank running against aftab Provoll an uphill challenge, most of course it is. So can a Republican win in the city of Cincinnati. That's an outloud question I have to ask. You can feel free to call me two three talk. Is it possible? I honestly, I don't know that it is and Judgentenapaultan a Republic of Spy. He'll be on at eight thirty as he always is on Wednesdays at eight thirty. Looking

forward to having the judge on the program. Anytime you can't listen to a live podcast at five care see dot com Great interviewing a conversation with doctor I G. Gubi on cervical cancer. If you're interested in cervical cancer, it is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. Had some great advice and some you know, uplifting information, which is typically the case. You know, you just stay on top of it. You

got unusual things going on in your body. You know your body as well as anybody, or better than anybody, according to doctor Gooby, listen, go to the doctor. Yeah, exactly. That's how I found out I had cancer, an unrelated medical problem I had had nothing to do at all with the lymphoma that I was ultimately diagnosed with, but that doctor visit ended up revealing that I had cancer. And if I had not gone to the doctor, I wouldn't know. And I'm struggling with my cancer issues with

undiagnosed cancer. So you know, stay in touch with your primary care physician. If you got anything weird going on in your body basically boiled down doctor Gooobi's comments. Listen to him Hit five care sea dot com Daniel Davis deep dive. Ukraine struggling mightily against Russia, and it is an uphill struggle. And I think Daniel Davis and I agree on the idea that there's no way Russia can or that Ukraine that can defend itself.

So sobering information from Daniel Davis. We might often get that, but I enjoy the conversation. Check it out A fifty five cares dot com plus the Inside Scoop with bright Bart News Bradley Jay on Trump's first week and a few days in office. Right there on the blog page. Let us see here starting off the morning show with your fired thank you Joe. Trump administration now offering buyouts

in an effort to whittle down the government. Trump offering buyouts for nearly all federal employees, including those who work remotely. Get them back in the office or buy them out. White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt did you see her yesterday? I rather impressive. I think she's twenty seven years old. You got more information out of her and forty five minutes yesterday than you did in all of the time Cream Gene I spoke to the general public. Anyway. I

was impressed by Carolyn Lovitt. I slight, I have to admit, though slightly embarrassed, because you know, I'm fifty nine, and it's a strange adjustment as you get older to have to deal with the reality that you know, young people do take over. They fill roles that you have an expectation it's going to be some older person, some with a little maybe gray hair in their head. But no,

she's just but she was whipped smart. So I'll struggle with that on my own and we'll just see what how she does as the week's unfold, though, but I was quite impressed by her yesterday during the press conference, and what a packed room, and what an interesting and I will note refreshing changes. She took questions from the

the not the mainstream media. A lot of alternative media in the room, which of course the Biden administration had banned anyway, Carol Lovett, White House Press Secretary, After four years of incompetence and failure, President Trump is committed to

making our government officient and productive again. American taxpayers pay for salaries of federal government employees, and therefore deserve employees working on their behalf who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers. If they don't want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they're free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump administration

will provide a very generous payout of eight months eight months. Yesterday, a government wide email was sent out to ensure all federal workers were on board with administration's plan, pointing out four pillars of Trump that he set forth to bring accountability back to the federal government, including a return to

in person work. In addition, restore accountability for employees who have policymaking authority, restored accountability for see your executives in a reform federal hiring process based on oh, there's that M word, we are substituting equity for merit amen. According to senior administration official, the government wide email being sent today is to make sure that all federal workers are on board with the new administration's plans to have federal

employees in office and adhering to our higher standards. We're five years past COVID and just this, get a load of this, and just six percent of federal employees work full time in office. Six percent. I'll leave it for you to decide. And you may be working at home. And I have a wife who works at home. It's

been that way since COVID. She loves it. Spends a lot of time on video conferences during the day, which she would have been doing if she was in the office, works on contracts, handles legal issues, and performs and does her work to the satisfaction of her employer. She's actually working. I'll let you decide if you think these ninety four percent of the employees who are not working full time in office government employees. I'll let you decide if they're

actually doing work while they're at home. Email not. The majority of federal employees who have worked remotely since COVID will be required to return to the physical offices five days a week. According to the email, going forward, we also expect our physical offices to undergo meaningful consolidation and divestitures, potentially resulting in physical office relocations for a number of

federal employees. Well good, Why because most of these buildings, if you had every federal employee working and then, would still only be like ten percent filled. The rest wasted space. We have countless hundreds of thousands of square feet of office that you and I work and pay for with our tax dollars that is not utilized and wouldn't be utilized even if they all went back to work. Why why do we pay for so much empty space?

from the federal government utilizing a deferred resignation program. That program starts January twenty eighth, which I guess yesterday, available until February sixth, and if a federal employee chooses to resign under the program, they will retain all pay and benefits, regardless of workload, and will be exempt from their in

person work requirements until September thirtieth of this year. Certain restrictions applied buyout to do not apply to military personnel in the Armed Forces, US Postal Service, positions related immigration, enforcement of national security, any other positions specifically as good

by the agency the federal workers are employed by. According to a senior Administration official, they said, we expect five to ten percent of the federal employees to quit, leading to one hundred billion dollars in annual savings for the federal taxpayer. See how do you cut the size and scope of government? Tell people that they have to work, and offer them a buyout?

almost like tenured professor positions in colleges. But if you accept the buyout, you sign on the dotted line, you agree to certain measure of compensation eight months salary in return for waving. I suppose any actions you might have in terms of how you will and how could you seriously the backing away from that, you must show up at the office. You choose not to show up at the office. There's your buyout package. I mean, it's an

obligation of employment. You got to be at work. How about that for a cold water those reality in the face of these government employees. Anyway, it's five o'clock. It's early. I'm still trying to wake up. Your help is requested.

Five three seven fifty eight two three talk found five fifty on at and t fons it's five eighteen of it right back after these words, Uh, time for the Channel nine first warning weather forecast today mostly sunny skies, dry, mild high a forty five overnight dropping to twenty six with clear skies, cloudy, let's see here, clouds build during the day. Tomorrow, rain showing up around four pm high a forty eight overnight low of thirty nine. Expect widespread

And a very happy Wednesday to your listener lunch. Next Wednesday's gonna be a little

Miami Brewery and downtown Milford. I hope you can join me. That's a fun time. We've been there quite a few times over the years, and of course listener lunch just an awesome opportunity to meet fellow listeners. It's a real welcoming group. I got to point out if you just like I've had people just show up by themselves. Hey Brian, how you doing to shake hands? Say hi, talk a little bit, and you know, do you have anybody you're meeting here today? No, just find a table and sit down.

Lots of friends made at fifty five car see listener lunch And it really just puts a smile on my face, is when I see the groups that regularly gather together, because those are friends that have been made over the years. They got a regular table. It's the same group that sits the gu and you know, it's just kind of

a neat thing. I gotta be honest with you, because I've always be listened to lunch as nothing has nothing to do with me, But it's always been about this fellowship that we experience, just the idea of getting out of whatever normal, regular routine you're engaged in. Going back to my time in house counsel with Anthem, you know our cube Land Legal department, you know, grab a sandwich over in the restaurant and walk back to your table with the little basket and eat lunch while you do work.

And once in a while, every once in a while we just get up and say, you know what, let's go out to lunch. Let's get out of the office and get a change of environment, and it really is kind of uplifting. So that's the point of listening to lunch, change of pace and meeting new people. So feel free to show up next Wednesday. Let us see here.

is some racist cult. Yeah, it's an interesting photograph. If you look at the New York magazine post that, you just see an image of Trump with just a bunch of white people in the room. But they cropped the photo. Had they not cropped the photo, if you expanded out a little bit, you would see that that group of white people surrounded by a multi ethnic group of folks

and a black man hosted the event. Rob Smith, described as a decorator, IRAQ veteran also black, tweeted, I was at this party, as were many all in caps other conservative media influences who are black, Latino, Asian, et cetera. Said New York mag use White's only photo to push the median narrative that diverse Republicans don't exist and weren't welcome. You don't hate the media enough, he concluded, You're being manipulated, folks.

Welcome to the party. Everyone is invited. Let's enjoy unleashing ourselves from the burdens of well a large and invasive federal government. Five twenty five Ify five care see the talk station. Thank you Christopher Smithman for the tweet this morning letting me know that you too are concerned about the reporting on that matter. I'll be right back after these brief words with age. A lot of people have

focused on mine. Happy Wednesday. You can call five seven, five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk Okay, local stories, then Fox nineteen reporting Ali Henard. Thank you for the reporting. Ali. Apparently hundreds of residents and business owners outline their concerns. It was a virtual meeting with the city Planning Department about the proposed redevelopment of Hyde

Park Square. Plan includes tearing down and rebuilding a large portion of Erie Avenue into hotel apartments, commercial space, and an underground parking garage. UH. Speaking with Fox nineteen, Doug Barnalco Bernacalo close Enough described as a longtime high Part resident in a small area High Park that has a school. We have traffic concerns, we have safety concerns. We've many concerns about this cherished Hyde Park Square where we live

and basically all of Cincinnati enjoys. He said. The problem is not the revitalization but the scale. Residents also expressing similar concerns, He said, we had to have some underutilized property in High Park Square. I'm pro development, but at this size, it's just inappropriate for the space.

this to ruin our quaint community squares. Isn't this this revitalization thing that the city passed. It allows denser housing to be built, Uh, not in my backyard. Since any leaders talked about snow removal efforts coming off the winter storm that left streets well unshoveled, Since our officials were apparently recognizing flaws in how they respond to the snow events, yesterday discussed ways to correct the problems to better addressed

future snow events. Since AY council member Seth Walash quote, we can talk about all these changes, but it sounds like the very basic system that broke down is that we don't even have a system in place to make sure that every street is plowed. Presentation was presented by the Department of Public Services and Officer Performance Data and Analytics.

Since our council member Anna i'lbi quote really speaking to our residents to say, we know we need to do better, we will do better, we are committed to making the investments to do better. Actions are louder than words, apparently, the presentation include a ways the city prepares for snow events, how crews navigate clearing roads, street priorities, equipment used during

the snow event. Both departments acknowledge improvements to the current snow removal plan need to be made with fleet inventory and improved technology at the forefront. Let's see if they'll allocate scarce taxpayer dollar resources to this problem. Eric Jamison with the Office of Performance Data and Analytics said DPS is tracking and is tracking progress in a paper based manner. Dps IS snowplow drivers are given root books that include a map and list of streets they need to cover.

Council Member Walsh quote, is every street covered in a route? I think from a technology standpoint, that's what we want to make sure. So that's the goal, and the fact that we don't know that answer to be sure right now is what we're going to work on. So I guess they get paper folding maps. I think that you know, given the current state of affairs and modern technology, that it would be a foregone conclusion that they might have a GPS sort of based system to send them out

on the proper snow clearing path. I don't know, and I guess greater since a educators a little bit concerned about the well deportation of illegal immigrants. Trump administration, of course, repealed protections for schools, saying ice can, Ice can go and raid schools. This in spite of my nineteen eighty two Supreme Court ruling that says all children have the right to a public education, including migrant students in the

Tri State area. Brady Williams Fox nineteen reporting, since our public school teachers were before the Board of Education meeting on Monday night asking how they need to serve the students if ICE agents show up asking for them to the current model, I don't believe that's actually going to happen. I don't think ICE is prioritizing, you know, k through

twelve students. However, since a Pool's public Schools sent the statement saying since that public schools has committed to supporting its immigrant and refugee families as federal law requires, CPS and rules and serves all students in families regardless of immigration status. CPS does not request or maintain records related to students immigration status. CPS does not permit law enforcement activities, including immigration enforcement, on school property or during school hours

without proper legal authorization. Student records are protected by law and will not be disclosed without a court order or subpoena. Searches and seizures on school property require law. It lawfully issued warrant. CPS encourages families to update their emergency contact information and sharing multiple contacts are listed for each student. Honestly,

no problem with that. I think appropriate legal procedures should be followed, like, for example, spying on Americans under FIZIS Section seven to two, I believe is in violation of the Fourth Amendment right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures. So due process, rule of law critically important. But if they got the warrant and they follow the proper legal procedures, then I suppose if they choose to, they can enter the schools and deport illegal immigrant children.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. The Trump administration is painfully aware of optics. Say what joe Ilia Gonzales, Oh, my god, taking me way back, Janet Rena, my god, dusting off old memories on that one appreciate that Jets Tracker five point thirty six and fifty five garre see thought they said Steck is stupid coming up thil Kola this is what's saying as so far as

weather's concerned. Channa nine says mostly sunny day to day with a high forty five down to twenty six overnight, clear sky clouds will build during the day. Tomorrow, rain showing up after four pm with a high forty eight, widespread rain overnight, and they say heavy rain at times overnight low thirty nine with a high in the upper fifties on Friday. I guess don't cling to that because the cold front is going to show up in the afternoon, so we'll have sporadic rain after five a m. On Friday,

Grand temperature forty one. Here pick five k's detalk station time for first traffic from the UCL Traffic Center. Expect more. How do you see help?

the end of the day in single digit temperature. She got in her car and magically only had now had a thirty mile range before she went home. So there was actually discussion on the table about the city acquiring more EV trucks, even possibly even plows. She basically said, I think we should really put this on hold because a we don't have the infrastructure ie charging stations right. So at least something good came out of the latest winter, which is just normal winter. We did have a slightly

little bit more of snow debacle. But the three gentlemen, and once again you talk about government efficiency. The three gentlemen that were at the table yesterday, one in charge of roads, one in charge assault, and the other one in charge of God only knows what we heard. This typical government speak, working collaborative, working comprehensive plans together, working the synergy. But basically the council people did not get

their answers. But I thought the classic was the city manager who actually, in my put herself on report said that she was right in the middle of reviewing our snow removal plan when we were inundated with this ten in snowfall. Excuse me, young lady. I'm then my first day as a city manager, but my next day will be my first day, however common if I'm reviewing our snow removal policy, Yeah, might want to do that in August, in September, yes, the middle of January.

But this is the time when anybody with any leadership skills, you get together with Covington and Newport, let's reroute the traffic, you get he should have been at that meeting yesterday holding those three knuckleheads accountable, at least just for the show.

can't imagine that it's five forty five. If you five K site talk stations like Bobby's on the phone will take his call. Your calls are always welcome, or alternatively, a stack is stupid. Coming up after this word for Colon Electric Andrew Collin and is amazing team of licensed electricians. Of course they're licensed. They can do all residential electric projects, as I always point out, from the biggest to the smallest. I've watched them in action many times over the years.

I always call Colin Electric for electric work, and most recently the bathroom remodeling project electric work. They did an outstanding job for that. On the heels of the outstanding job wiring my home up for the whole house generator and can lights and other projects accent lighting too. They've done that in my home. I truly, truly love the modern LED can lights and they come in multiple different sizes, different temperature ranges, like in terms of what the light

looks like from the incandescent glow. You can get an incandescent warmth from LED lights these days, and plus energy efficient and they're really low profile. You don't have to have the uh, the big empty four or five inches space for traditional can lights. It's an option for you. That's all on point out. They can do all kinds of different LED projects. Maybe you want to do your your your your man cave or she shack up with

some accent lighting. Trust the folks at Colin Electric. They have an A plus with the Better Business Bureau and for every project they do for you, you'll get a ten year wiring warranty. Trust my friends Colin Electric, the folks with the right connections. Tell Andrew call on the team. Brian said, Hi, when you call, here's the number five one three two two seven four one one two five one three two two seven four one one two Online It's Cullen c U L L E N Cullenelectric Cincinnati dot.

that's okay. Oh like some some rap. But I've never heard of rapper Dank Demas, although you would notice her if you saw her in the room. She's four hundred and eighty nine pounds and she's angry. Shared a video show a verbal exchange with an uber or a lift driver, and she said, uh am I wrong at Lyft What y'all got to say about this, y'all driver discriminated against me. I just feel like y'all treat big people like s word,

like we don't belong here. She fought a lawsuit citing discrimination, claiming that she suffered from emotional distress and humiliation after being denied entry into the driver's car. According to the wrapper, driver pulled up in a Mercedes ben sedan then proceeded to lock the doors and attempt to drive herway after he saw her four hundred and eighty nine pound frame. Driver can be heard in the video telling Demas that

his tires wouldn't be able to handle the weight. For her part, she can be heard saying in the video, I can fit in this car. The driver responded, believe me, you can't. As the video went on to Mosco and you heard asking what do I have to do with your tires. Rappers, speaking with local Fox two News, said she felt she would have been able to accept the ride. I've been in cars smaller than that. I just want them to know that it hurt my feeling. She said.

She's taking action against Lyft to, in her words, change the world. If I stand for something, I'll fall for anything, fighting for my community, my people, and making change in the world, not just for me, but for everyone.

driver fled the scene, but was detained shortly thereafter. Homicide Union handling the investigation with the assistance of the traffic Unit, Police said the driver of the vehicle. Police said the driver of the vehicle that the victim was not responsible for his death. Don't hang out the window of a car, idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots, and don't use your three month old baby to wipe off snow, or

you will be subject to online ridicule. Texas man apparently could be but is not currently facing criminal charges after being seen on a viral TikTok video using a three month old baby to wipe snow off his car inches of snow. It's got a Hyundai Lantra. The baby was bundled up jacket facing up, while the man was in short sleeved shirt and pants, According to the footage shared

on Facebook. Port Arthur Police Chief Jim Drissio told local news and investigators were interviewed the man, who's twenty five, not identified because he's not yet charged. We confirmed that it was a three month old baby, the chief said. Please were initially alerted the video. Accord to the chief, he had two other females with him at the time. We suspect one of them was the mom. They checked

on the baby. The baby was fine. As the video reveals, the three month old was placed on the windshield and pushed across the car to clear the snow off. Why maybe, maybe for the purposes of creating a viral video on the internet. Perhaps five fifty six fifty five K city talk station. I wanted to talk about the six o'clock hour. I'd prefer talking to you, so feel free to call, but regardless, I'll be right back.

Next Wednesday, Little Miami Brewing Company. Anyhow, five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to three taco with pound five fifty on an AT and T phone. I feel like I'm firing on four of eight, as I sometimes a suggest in the morning, still waking up, So your help is quite welcome here in the fifty five KRC Morning Show before I get to tell the stories coming up one hour from now, The Big Picture with Jack add and taking away off my shoulders, the

new Jimmy Doolittle. Trump's raiders love talking with Jack Addan's brilliant man, so I enjoy his commentary and it's welcome here in the fifty five Caresony Morning Show. Frank Abrams, It's got a book called The cock Fright. It's about the devastating consequences of being falsely accused and convicted of a crime. William Bradford, an educator named Teacher of the Year, arrested in charge for an attempted rape of a fourteen year old student during class trip to Washington, married two kids.

It's described as spending time in a hellhole of a jail in South Georgia, eventually well taking up residents under a bridge, all because of a lie. Fictional account, though, but it's a fictional account of the law and its application. Some elements quite authentic. So Frank Abram's on that at seven point forty in studio, can a Republican beat aftab

per of all, It's a good question. I've pretty much written off the city of Cincinnati, but who knows, given how dysfunctional it seems to be, maybe Brian Patrick Frank can score a victory for the city of Cincinnati. He is running against aftab Provoll for mayor. He will be in studio in studio eight oh five and followed by of course, it is Wednesday. Judge Andrew Napolitano caption of the column A Republic of Spies. So that'll be at

eight thirty. Everyone say, as we typically do with Judge Ednapolitano, uh in little phone calls. Moving over to California and the well, the economic reality of real Estate's a couple of interesting stories about real estate there. First off, the laws of supply and demand. As one might imagine and considering, you know, prices were already outrageously high in Los Angeles. Look at that Pacific Palisades neighborhood. The average house there

is like three and a half million dollars. Is that affordable? Well, the laws of supply man caused housing prices to jump to the average of three and a half million dollars in that one particular neighborhood. A finite amount of space, a finite amount of homes, and seemingly an infinite number of people standing around the corner willing to pay that

kind of money for a home. Welcome to reality. Well, when the whole neighborhood burns down, what happens lesser supply and consistent demand, Most notably for the folks who have been displaced because their house is burned down, prices go up. Really shocking, Joe, do you know anything about real estate? One of my dad's favorite jokes is this a lot?

Figure it out on your own time. Laura Adams with a group called Acable Agent to the Los Angeles retail market experiencing a surgeon demand for those who lost their homes or can't return to them after getting severe damage from recent wildfires. Right, apparently, there's an estimated ten thousand homes that were destroyed, forty thousand residents displaced by the homes being burned down, calling the real estate agents called

a perfect storm. Increase in demand and loss of available homes will cause a spike and housing prices to rent or buy in the foreseeable future. Stating, of course the obvious, Adam said, well, so they will see an increase in demand and prices such as rents climbing hundreds or thousands of dollars a month, depending on location, size and amenities. Now, some areas of Los Angeles have rent control that limits how much the landlord can increase the rent when in

existing lease. Ends Court to Los Angeles kind of Department of Consumer and Business affairs. The price of goods and services including rental housing, hotels, and emergency applies, cannot be hiked more than ten percent during an emergency, and they encourage consumers to report price gouging to the California Attorney General,

which has been done. Real estate agent Adams said Los Angeles was already in a housing shortage before the wildfires, and of course no emergency, no emergency declaration based upon the lack of available housing, so the price is naturally

increased according to the loss of supplies of demand. Right said, So the disaster will cause an extreme shortage of homes to rent or buy, clearly, and she notes that folks are going to actually have to weigh the financial feasibility of rebuilding against the appeal of relocating to more manageable living situations such as low maintenance condominiums, thinking of Hyde Park, and their NIMBI actions against the new proposed denser housing project that's coming to maybe or maybe not Hyde Park.

And this makes no sense to me, but based on the emergency that declaration, with that ten percent cap in rent hikes, California state officials announced that yet another this is the second one, I guess a realtor has been

charged with allegedly price gouging victims of the wildfires. Prosecutors say the realtor offered a family a rental home in a neighborhood called Glendale, the rent more than fifty percent higher than the pre fire rental price, right, Gavin Newsom, Of course this refers back to this ten percent hike, and those restrictions apparently applied to existing tenants and answering my question, new leases during the emergency period. So I was of the mind that if you had an existing contract,

of course they can't come in and hike that. But if you were a new potential lessor of an apartment or a home there it's been offered on the market. Of course, people standing around the corner waiting line to maybe make a bid on the unleasing the new space.

That it wouldn't apply to that, But apparently it does apply to that, which begs a question or demands asking the question, all right, you've capped rental prices at ten percent at least in terms of the increase, all right, Noting that prior to the fire, there was already a shortage of real estate there, which is what caused the prices to go through the roof generally speaking, you now have apparently forty thousand displaced people who are looking to

rent a space. Gavin Newsom, in his Infinite Wisdom says, you can't increase the rental price more than ten percent of what it was before the fire. Okay, And they're suing this real estate agent because the price was fifty percent greater, and fine. I understand the logic sort of of going after them because the law says you can't hike it more than ten percent. I don't know why you say to the realtor rather than the person who's seeking to lease the space, but whatever, answer me this question.

If you can, how do you decide who gets the space? People are willing to pay fifty percent more for rent? The governor says you can't charge more than ten percent increase, So the space is available. And if you believe the cap is a lawful one, how do you deal with the countless people standing around the block wanting to put an offer in on that lease for the space? I

can see sort of a sub lawsuit like discrimination. They picked that person over me because what the color of my skin, my religion, race, ethnicity, whatever it happens to be. So what is it going to be a lot, or you're going to pull a name out of a hat. Well, we got nine hundred people that are willing to buy this, to least this particular space, because we've capped the rent at ten percent increase. Anyway, I think this boils down

to what is scientifically referred to as a Charlie foxtrot. Anyway, the Attorney's office said, in order to protect Californiaans affected by the Southern California Wildfire's, Department of Justice actively investigating and prosecuting price gouging. Apparently, the Department of Justice has sent out more than six hundred and fifty warning letters, with more coming to hotels landlords who have been accused

of price gouging. DOJ's office set any violators of price gouging statute are subject to criminal prosecution that can result in a maximum penalty of one year imprisonment in county jail and or a fine of up to ten thousand dollars. This kind of violation of price gouging also subject to civil enforcement actions, including civil penalty these up to twenty five hundred dollars per violation, injunctive relief, and mandatory restitution.

It was only last week that apparently a real estate agent got charged for similar alleged price gouging when a couple applied to rent a home, but after the application was received, they were told the price it increased by thirty eight percent. I step away from this and will these lawsuits solve the housing shortage problem out there? And apparently the Mayor of Los Angeles has plans for rebuilding

and they don't involve the landowners. Six sixteen fifty five krs to the talks that you can get that and minute foreign exchange though, to get your imported traditionally import manufacturers. A lot of so called imports are now manufactured here in the United States, which is okay, but it's foreign exchanges. Where you want to take your car like a Toyota, for example, or any other Asian imported car, maybe a Kia, a Hyundai, or a BMW or a Portie or a

land Rover, it's foreign exchange. They have ASC certified master technicians to work on your car. You will get a full warranty for on parts and service. When your car is serviced by the experts at foreign exchange, you'll be very happy with the service there. They'll treat you like family. It's a really welcoming environment. And if you're like me, the kind of guy that wants to talk to the mechanic who works on your car, you can do that. I know that's kind of a difficult challenge at dealers,

but dealers also charge a lot more. And that's the point of Foreign Exchaine's existence. Fixing your car for less money substantial savings, and of course these trying times, everybody's looking for a way to save a box. So if your car needs work, take it to Foreign Exchange. You'll be glad by you listen to my advice on that. And I certainly recommend the Westchester location, Tylersville exit off of Ice seventy five east on Tylersville off seventy five,

reality at stake here. There's a finite number of dollars. And when you interject an additional ten plus million people, many of whom who are not working, and many of whom who do not have the skill sets to actually have gainful employment, they're going to be living off of these resources, whether there's state or local or federal government resources. Look at the whole that we've dug for ourselves already, with thirty six thirty seven trillion dollars in debt. These

programs are. You can argue they're underfunded, but the money's got to come from someplace. These cities have been overwhelmed, I mean literally billions of dollars to deal with an immigration crisis in cities like Chicago and New York. What about the constituents, What about the legal citizenry that got inundated with all those folks because of Biden's open borders policies. And you see the profound, you know, sea change that

shows up when a new person is in office. Here, executive order this, executive order that, and it stops or is well, the number of illegals enter the country decreases almost immediately or actually immediately. That is what a change of administration allows for, and it can be done. Donald Trump's demonstrating that if you agree with open borders policies, then you're upset and angry about it.

Brian said, HIA five one three two four seven zero two two nine five one three two four seven zero two two nine fifty five krc A Wednesday, before I get back to the phones, thank you Eric for backing me up. Eric wistens every morning and quite often sends me a stude comments and interesting and uh quite often hilarious comments through instant messaging. Say you've been very clear about not liking the choices. I know I have been, and yes, vv Granma Swammy was a guy that I

thoroughly supported, but he didn't run. You know, you end up dropping out. But I can't deny. I mean, I'm impressed with Trump so far, and I'm impressed with what he is trying to accomplish, what he's been able to accomplish so far. Ham fisted, yeah, to large degree, angering some people, Yes, of course he is. But I think doing the right thing and so far as pairing back the size and scope of government and its intrusive effects on our lives. Going back to Will's criticism, right, don't

take our money from us and then misspend it. I love that concept. Generally speaking, that's one of the reasons I'm a libertarian, little el libertarian. You know, I trust you with your zipper, and I trust you with your wallet. I wouldn't want to come and take away your hard earned a salary to support some nonsensical government program and

some bloated bureaucracy. So ham fisted as it may be, Donald Trump doing at least what appears to be a lot in pairing back that bloated bureaucracy that I have such a disdain for. And there are a number of ca it's who could have done that as well. But

this is what we were left with. These were the choices, and I just have to observe also and need for the always Trump or folks who think that, you know, they get insulted when I point something out like it wouldn't have been my first choice Donald Trump, like I have some sort of religious loyalty to any human being. No, not me, thank you very much. I don't have any problem with what he's been doing. See what west Side Jim's got. What's sayeed, Welcome to the program, my friend.

Always good to hear from you. Good morning, Brian.

all good people. They could have been reliable as far as maybe getting donor money or votes, but they wouldn't have been elected. And we'd have been stuck with Kamblo, with Harris and that goofy vice president of hers because she would have won against I love, Viveka Ramaswaye and a few others, but they wouldn't have won.

expect from Donald Trump. It was a known commodity against the idiot Kamala Harris.

It's time for the Big Picture with Jack Atherton at the top of the hour News the new Jimmy Doolittle, Trump's Raiders. Jack will be up just in a minute. Your voice, Thank you for taking my call your country.

Jimmy Doolittle's Raiders. Let me explain why. After Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor crippled the US Navy, America I had to prove quickly and dramatically that we could still fight back. So Lieutenant Colonel James doolittvel he later became a general, which a sixteen B twenty five B bombers took off from the USS Hornet and showed that America could still reach Japan's mainland. There is, by the way, a magnificent tribute to Doolittle's Raiders at the National Air

Force Museum outside Dayton. What an awe inspiring place that is. And you can see the raid depicted in the terrific movie from a few years ago Midway, as well as

the old Spencer Tracy film that includes actual footage. It is no exaggeration, Brian to say that Trump's first days back, with his instant securing of the border and deporting of thugs from sanctuary cities, his reversal of the left's corrupt green energy scam, trump zooming in and reading the Riot Act to elites at the One World Capital Davos, He's enlistment of business leaders around the world who want to create jobs here in America, not jobs for wage slaves overseas.

The banishing of DEI and woke poison for the federal government, the firing of partisan bureaucrats, the face to face help Trump provided for disaster victims in North Carolina and suicidal California. Thanks to all that, and so much more to come, the new Trump administration has repelled the Democrats assault on the middle clients with shock and awe, so much so that Democrats now are scrambling to find what they call a new idea, a new approach. But Folks, the Democrat

parties DNA makes that impossible. They are at their course since Ranklin Roosevelt authoritarians, socialists sometimes dictators. Democrats aim to make everybody dependent on big government, from the poorest Americans to the richest who make billions off government mandates for everything from vaccines to evs now Brian. As we've discussed, it's in the DNA of Americans to reject dependency, to

demand individual rights and responsibility. Then Democrats are eager to serve up some fake moderate because they know that Marxists will ultimately take over For instance, Bill Clinton ran as a southern moderate. He beat George H. W. Bush the Father. After that establishment Republican broke his read my lips, pledged to voters, and raised taxes. The trouble was as soon as Clinton took office. He raised taxes too retroactively, and then went on to propose hillary Care, socialized medicine so

much more. It was only when Democrats lost Congress for the first time in forty years, Clinton said the era of big government is over. That he was forced to balance budgets and reform welfare only because he also had new House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The Democrats next self proclaimed moderate was God help us, Barack Obama. He promised no red states, no blue states, just the United States Great, until Obama immediately went around the world apologizing for America's

so called imperialism. Obama let Russia seize Ukraine's key port crimea wedding, Putin's appetite for the rest of Ukraine. Obama supported America haters in Egypt and Iran. We're still dealing with this here at home. He sympathized with rioting liars in Ferguson, Missouri. He lied about Obamacare We could go on and on. The only reason Obama won election a re election campaign is that Republicans responded not with a populist but with an establishment stiff at Romney lastly considered

Joe Biden. Democrat radicals ran Biden from his basement during COVID as good old Scratt and Joe another moderate. But Biden, a crook, was so compromised he was happy to let his cup. Puppet masters woke puppet masters. Let me say that again, and never forget it. They spent like lottery winners. They ignited inflation, declared war on US fossil fuels while they bought dirty oil for our enemies in Venezuela and elsewhere.

And they welcomed to America more than ten million illegals to leach off middle class citizens, which brings us to Donald John Trump. Not everybody's cup of tea. You know, there's another World War Two figure, George Patten, who wasn't everybody's cup of tea. He slapped a soldier. People wanted to take him away from the European theater while he was carving through it to get to Germany. Trump is a true populist, just as America survived a knockout blow

at Pearl Harbor. Donald Trump survived two impeachments, lawfare, character assassination by the left wing media, and two real assassination attempts. And now he is delivering shock and awe to restore America's border and our economy and our American values. He's proving that America can still fight and win for the whole world, not just America, by bringing peace and growth. When the pie gets bigger, everybody wins. Jimmy Doolittle's rate ended with America winning World War Two, and then I

can never get over this. Brian rebuilding, Japan and Germany not as colonies, as free and prosperous allies. Let's unite now and win under Trump and work to create a worldwide Golden Age. What do you saying?

But this growing populist movement, it's not just here in the United States. I observe that it's happened in the European Union, It's happening globally, and that it's no longer wrong. I would argue, given this growing populism movement, it's no longer wrong to vote for and care about your own best interest. This is in defiance of the globalism movement that we've been under for so many years, and I think it's a refreshing, welcome change, and I do believe

that's the direction the globe is going. Your reaction to that observation, well.

are still establishment people. Amesley gets upset when I talk about the World Wall Street Journal, But you know, there are a number of people there on the editorial board who were still happy to see all those jobs go to China. They say, well, you'll have cheap things from China that you can buy. We won't be able to buy anything with a thirty seven trillion dollar debt and no jobs in this country. So they're coming back. And yes, the GOP now is a populist party. It wasn't always it is now.

We can't expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism until they awaken one day to find that they have communism. So that would be the predicate for his statement, we don't have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within. And I think that it's so you know, he was right. That's exactly what we have allowed to happen over the years.

And it's got to the point where as you observe the thirty seven trillion dollars in devasit we are killing ourselves by offering these so called solutions to life's problems with government services. They're taxing us and they're spending it on things that obviously do not work, and now we're in a big hole.

contributed to the system all their lives. Now we're giving social security to somebody who just makes it over the rio Grant.

John Houstad being selected for that position. Yeah, there are others on the list, the short list that I was a little worried about, but he wasn't one of them. So time will tell, though, but I'm cautiously optimistic John will deliver for the state. Candy, I can't thank you enough for your kind words. Yes, you know, I was going to conclude the last going into the top of the hour. A country of three hundred and fifty million people, and going back to my some of my criticisms of Trump,

which are on record for years and years. To those who think that I'm somehow hypocritical, third and fifty million people, are you telling me seriously that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were the best and brightest that we have to offer. That's kind of been my point all along. No, I'm not disappointed with Trump delivering, and it's an amazing thing to behold, and I hope he continues to deliver and

I will be happy. I'm not disappointed. I'm just of the mind, as a citizen of the United States of America, that there's just I mean, seriously, there's got to be better people in higher office. I think, honestly, what they're doing is out there in the in the world building businesses and being successful entrepreneurs.

our primary process. If we had a national primary day like we have a national general election day, it would require the candidates to compete simultaneously across the entire country at the same time. The way it is, we start in Iowa, we go to New Hampshire. The combined population of those two states together is what five percent of

the country. But the front runners get identified there the money and the media starts following the front runners and next thing, you know, a better candidate gets kicked to the curb. I got nothing against Iowa. I lived there for five years, loved it. But they honestly do have an undue influence on where we end up with our eventual candidates. You know, Indiana, by the time we have our primary in May, the party's over.

you're gonna get money flowing into your coffers. So good point, Larry. Thanks for making it stick around. The book The Cock Fight, Frank Abram's the author. He will join the program coming up next.

fifty five CARS Morning Show. Frank Abrams a criminal defense attorney in North Carolina as well as Florida's practice in federal state criminal law for thirty eight plus years. He's been on public radio and Core TV, and he is an author and today we're welcoming to the fifty five KRC Morning Show to talk about his book, The Cock Fight. And I observe Frank, and it's a pleasure to have you on the program. It's been long stated the law holds it as better than ten guilty persons escape than

one innocent suffer. I'm a firm believer that, and there was a time in my life, Frank, that I believed in the death penalty. But as I've gotten, coming older and wiser and having practiced litigation for sixteen years. I am painfully aware of the fact that quite often, well maybe not often, but sometimes innocent people are convicted. And if the state has the ability to take your life from you, that's a scary proposition. Welcome Frank, Sorry for being long winded.

defense attorney unless you rely on the public defender. And I will welcome your observations about the competency of the Public Defender's office, but they tend to be overwhelmed with a number of cases they had, So to get competent counsel, it's coming out of your pocket. And for those of the moneys that don't have a lot of money. It's an impossible chore.

and hundreds of cases. They'll fudge results. There's evidence in that particular case, she was indicted for over one hundred plus cases that she dealt with you know, I can't say why people do things, but I know this that it happens. And when the system, when someone's life and someone's freedom is at stake, there has to be more than just oh, well, we have this test and we're going to absolutely rely on the results of this test.

are at stake here. But it's like taxpayer dollars. You know, the government doesn't care where the dollars come from. They don't have any incentive to be, you know, mindful of where the money's going because they have this open spigot, and that creates well, lack of care and concern. Same kind of parallel.

So you know, good luck getting the court to approve of money and say things like, well, you know, we're going to go ahead and do another test, even though you've already had a test and your results have been tested in my book, the individual asks for another test, but it's rejected. It's rejected, and in federal courts they have something across the country called rocket dockets, and so it's like this, well, guess what, we don't have time

to do another test. There's not going to be the money given to do another test, and guess what, you don't be in trial on Monday. So so you see, yeah, yeah, yeah, see how well thirty eight years in this system.

I really do. In the book It's the Cockfight, it's on my blog page fifty five carsea dot com. I'm a guest today, Frank Abrams. I appreciate your passion on this subject. It's something near and dear to my heart. Frank, it's been great having you on the program. I appreciate you sharing your time and with our listeners and documenting this.

And it is a work of fiction, but Frank will tell you all day long, this is all based on reality and real quick Frank, in terms of being a defense attorney, if I wanted a separate DNA test because I had suspicions about the one that was presented by the prosecuting attorney, how much would it cost me as a separate line item on the legal bill.

Perhaps Brian Patrick Frank does. He is a Republican and he is going to run against AFTAB pro Ball from mayor of the City of Cincinnati AFTAB, of course, announcing his efforts to become re elected. Brian Patrick Frank is in studio to talk about what I will call a Sisaphian challenge. Welcome Brian Frank. It is a pleasure to have you in the studio today.

I mean, it is the city of Cincinnati, which I think it seems like the Republican Party has just kind of given up on.

and I think he's already moved on from Cincinnati. So I wouldn't be surprised to hear if Aftab is not going to actually complete his run for mayor. I think he's got other things up his sleeve.

of Rochester on an ROTC scholarship. I completed my undergraduate degree and my master's in business administration in four years. I then joined the active duty. I went to the Seventh Fleet. I served in Yakoska, Japan. I was involved with an incident at sea, which is considered an active war. I was nearly killed by a Soviet cruiser who was coming at me and my ship at forty five knots. I was the conning officer at the time. The captain took over command and he said, Officer Frank, do not

leave the deck. You are going to make sure that we maintained course and speed. And for the next three minutes I was saying, Hail Mary, let's not get dead here as this ship attacks us. So at the last minute, the ship turned away and we went on our business.

But we were over there because we were peacefully trying to find the black box from Kalub seven that the Soviets had shot down in February of eighty three, and we were looking for that black box to see if the Soviets had made any communication and warned the pilots of that ship. Over four hundred people died on that aircraft. All of them were sent sunk to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean about fifteen miles off the coast of

Soaclen Island. Now, we recognize only twelve miles of international waters. The Soviets expect two hundred miles of national waters, and they did not like us being in their backyard, so they tried to force us to leave. This issue was taken all the way up to the National Security Council, it was brought up at the United Nations. So this was a major incident. Thank god, nobody was killed on board the USS towers the officer I was the officer of the Khan at that time, but I'm glad that

I survived that and I'm here in Cincinnati. I worked at Proctering Amble till I retired at twenty three years of service. I then went on with many assignments after that, but my favorite after that was working for doctor Odell Owens. He made me a political appointment appointee of his. He asked me to work with Governor Kasik in Columbus on reducing the cost of tuition and the cost of books. I will say that I partnered with the University of Cincinnati.

It was not their idea, it was mine. We were able to outsource all of our book printing of textbooks at Cincinnati State to the UC a brand new facility that they built. We were also able to outsource our nine to one to one call center. We also had a weekend police surveillance done by the UC police. And we were the only college and university combined UC and

Cincinnati State who actually achieved Governor Kasik's goal. And we at Cincinnati State were able to reduce greatly the cost of the textbooks, and we also reduced or maintained tuition costs. It's very difficult to reduce that, but that was probably one of my biggest accomplishments. And I had a great relationship with doctor Owenes, who, as you know, was a politician,

former corner and he taught me a lot. He and I spent a day and a half traveling to Atlanta together down to do some benchmarking with one of the universities down there in Atlanta. Doctor Posey was with us well, and we had a great conversation in his car driving there and back to Atlanta. I really got to know a lot about him, and this is why I'm taking on this role. I want to run for office and be the mayor of Cincinnati. I want to be your next mayor.

and Gamble the Twin Towers. When I worked there, I would say I could see my house from my home or from my job, and I could see, you know, my job from my home. So it was a great experience working at Procter and Gamble, and I really enjoyed that time. They made me a loaned executive to the City of Cincinnati twice. The first time I was asked to go down in outsourced street sweeping, very successfully done. The next time they called and said, we're looking at

outsourcing the management of the Duke Energy Center. Can you help us. They sent me down there and I helped outsource that to Global Spectrum. After I did that work, the city renewed that contract I think three times with Global Spectrum. They were really happy with that relationship.

force jail service through public excuse me through private means. Unfortunately, when I brought that company in and tried to do a tour of our existing facilities, Simon Leeze barred me from the jails that I could not come out, and so I had to cancel that meeting, and that was the end of that idea of bringing in the third party to run jail operations. But I'm really excited about this opportunity, and I think with the support of Cincinnatians, we can make this happen.

We're going to learn about his ideas for the future of the city of Cincinnati, if elected, is mayor stick around right back after these brief words, this is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station.

In the meantime, Brian Patrick Frank is in studio and he is running against Mayor Atab Purvall to be mayor

black truck blocked my entrance. I was looking to get his signature on my petition to get on the ballot and his wife both registered voters, and outcomes a Secret Service officer telling me that I had to leave the premises, which I did.

trust in Cincinnati with this money? You know, most of the money that we get on major projects, like the expansion of the Brent Spence Bridge comes from federal dollars, which could be cut off. They need to know in Washington that they've got a voice here in Cincinnati, an elected office who will follow through on commitments. And the

same goes for our friends in Columbus. They need to know that there is somebody here in Cincinnati that they can trust, an elected office, and right now I don't think there's anyone in office that they can call and feel like they can trust the person at the other end of the line.

Because we all know a look the Democrats side of the ledger could be the woke leftist DEI ideologue or the more conservative, sort of Kennedy esque Democrats. They still fly into the same d banner, but they mean completely different things in polar opposite things within the confines of what it is to be Democrats. So Republicans quite often defined by others, what's your perception of what being Republican is?

you deserve government benefits. But other than that, we should be taking care of ourselves, and Republicans want to encourage that. I'm in charge of my life. It's my responsibility to be taking care of my family, and that's what I want to support.

in a contract they've been awarded with. Government tends to fail us quite often because well, it's taxpayer dollars and they can be inefficient without worrying about losing their jobs. Is there anything that you have in mind that might be more efficiently run and mind the taxpayer dollars if it was outsourced for whatever reason, garbage collection seems to jump in my mind. But your thoughts on the City of Cincinnati along those lines.

exams and out of hospital appointments. I think we need to look very seriously at the health department and see if we can't outsource that as well. And I'm not talking about handing that off to UC like we did with General Hospital. I think we ought to be looking at the same folks that are supporting the Bengals. I think they brought in Kettering Health. I'd love to get to know them better. I would include the University of Cincinnati. I really want to include Saint Elizabeth. I'm a member

of the Saint Elizabeth Health community. I get my annual checkups over there at Saint Elizabeth Hospital in Covington. It's just a safer neighborhood. I don't feel as comfortable going up to Bill Hill and walking those streets. So I really think that we need to look at outsourcing of our health cenators downtown and over the Rhine.

He's looking at receiving probably ten million dollars in benefits because the courts have already said that his firing was illegal. So we need to stop people like you know, share Along from doing stupid things down at city Hall.

I'll let my listeners know. Thank you, Brian, been my pleasure to look forward to talking with you again real soon. Judge Annonnapolitano join us next stick around.

Interesting and excellent observations, as always, your honor. What's the story on this one, sir?

to use it. And it is stored sounds like the Sopranos. It's stored in a warehouse in New Jersey. Zero click is an insidious piece of software that allows the possessor of it to enter your electronic device without you having to be tricked into clicking onto a link. Okay, so far, so good. What's bad is that Donald Trump, who was victimized by zero click, has told Benjamin Natanyahu. He's going to lift the embargo on it and the Israeli company

can begin selling it to American governments. This is an absolute violation of the Fourth Amendment. It's shocking that President Trump, who was victimized by all of this the first time around, would be doing it. Well, that's where we are, and that's what leaked out last week, and that's why I wrote it.

White House. They can use zero Click on Trump himself.

they must have needed something to cushion the blow. Prime Minister Essaigne, whose people must have asked for this and without realizing the catastrophic consequences of it. The Trump people, and again this happened before he was president. The Trump people said, yes, I don't know if he has yet lifted the embargo, but he promised Prime Minister Netziyahu, who's visiting here next.

Anybody in the government that gets their hands on this will have instantaneous access to the contents of your digital device, whether it's a mobile device, a desktop, a laptop, or a mainframe. Anybody in the government that has access to this will also have access to anybody else's digital device, including the President, the head of the FBI, the Secretary of State, the

Attorney General of the United States. There is no yet known way to resist zero Click, other than by banning it.

to argue that it's unconstitutional. But I was happy to see that decision. But does that also not point out that there has been a civil rights violation and they could sue the government for a civil rights violation and maybe get some maybe a symbolic compensation for that.

don't have standing. There was no injury in fact as yet, so because of this standing interpretation in the Constitution, the government must actually harm you first before you have the ability to challenge the means by which it acquired the evidence against you. But God only knows what they'll do with zero click. It just boggles my mind. Trump and Widcoff must have just said yes to that without talking to any technical people, because this really really opens up

Pandora's box. It opens up the President himself and his closest advisors to being spied upon by Masad, by the FBI whoever has the zero click. Now the zero click is not here yet. I don't believe the and bargo has actually been lifted. He has promised to lift it. Congress should get involved.
