Chris: [00:00:00] It’s official. A Northeast Ohioan who entered the capital on January sixth is a moron. She admits it. It’s at the moment in Ohio, the information podcast dialogue from cleveland.com and The Plain Seller. I’m Chris Quinn. I’m right here at the moment with Laura Johnson, Courtney a Stealy, and Lisa Garvin. I like to begin a podcast speaking a couple of self-admitted moron.

So let’s. A lingering thriller in northeast Ohio is why an occupational therapist within the Cleveland colleges threw all of it away to be among the many crazies who tried to overthrow the federal government on January sixth. We realized so much about her from a ten web page letter she wrote to the choose who would sentence her, included her admission that she’s a moron.

Courtney, what do we all know?

Courtney: Yeah, this, this entails Christine Ola, a former CMS d occupational therapist. She, um, used to personal a house in Willaby, and , this 10 web page letter to the choose earlier than [00:01:00] her sentencing at the moment is, As I perceive it, a reasonably uncommon transfer from a defendant like this, however Ola kinda laid out what has occurred in her life for the reason that January sixth, , riot.

And he or she additionally, such as you stated, acknowledged that. She regrets what, what, what she did on the Capitol. So, , sooner or later in her letter, Ola even informed the choose, like, I, I want I, I may return. I want I had meals poisoning that day. I want I had a damaged leg. I, , wishing that she wasn’t there. And he or she painted this very fascinating of her life.

Since then, she’s had to surrender her residence. She’s moved into her mother’s basement. She stated she’s serving to, she’s been serving to her aged kinfolk whereas posted up there, however that she will’t get a full-time job. She’s making an attempt to do some courtroom, uh, some making an attempt to get a courtroom job. She’s performing some on-line coaching, however doesn’t understand how a felony conviction will, will play out and what her future holds.

However, , the, the, the 50 12 months outdated she. [00:02:00] Doubtlessly on the hook for 15 to 21 months in jail. That’ll in the end be as much as the choose. However this letter was an try to sort of take duty. She stated she blamed others for, for her being there. And he or she stated it took her a while. To cease wishing for issues to be totally different.

It took her a while to come back to phrases with not blaming others for her actions. And he or she says, Nobody bodily made me enter the constructing that day. And, and that is her trying to take duty.

Chris: This is among the most insightful issues we’ve seen to come back out of this. All of us puzzled. Concerning the crazies, what may have contaminated their brains to assume this was a good suggestion?

And he or she actually stood out as a result of she had a terrific job. She’s faculty educated. Uh, nothing would’ve stated that any individual along with her background can be racing across the capital, pondering that they’re taking again their authorities. And it’s nearly like she woke. After a horrible hangover and is sober now trying again, saying, What was I [00:03:00] pondering?

Um, and, and saying to the choose, Yeah, I utterly blew this. It’s wrecked my life. I don’t know what I used to be pondering. She stated, I don’t need morons working round on the market. And I used to be a moron. Which, which is fascinating. It, it really provides you some compassion, proper? As a result of I don’t know what drove individuals to do that.

You had, you had the demagogue of. Rallying individuals to do loopy issues like overthrow the federal government, however, however right here she is. That is, that is the end result. She’ll spend a while in jail and her life is in shambles.

Courtney: Effectively, and, and I believed, I believed it was very fascinating. At one level in her letter to the choose, she goes into a few of the private causes that she stated led her to go to the capitol that day.

Apparently within the months earlier than the riot, she stated her organic father died. Her grownup daughter had moved outta the home and he or she stated she’d been quote, making an attempt to fill a void from the disappointment and further time on her fingers. By [00:04:00] quote, utilizing the information and politics excessively to fill that void. She stated she allowed herself to get swept

Chris: away.

Yeah. I’ve typically speculated that the, the explanation for Trump’s recognition is it was a membership for those who didn’t really feel welcome wherever else, and he constructed this group of Outkast. It was an fascinating story in one of many nationwide shops at the moment taking a look at Lincoln by way of the prism of at the moment and noting that that Lincoln did.

Castigate, the individuals who disagreed with them as a result of he understood that the best way to maneuver ahead is to know them and welcome them. Her letter, I believe, presents plenty of perception into what individuals had been pondering. An interesting story. It’ll be fascinating to see how the choose reacts to that. Laura, uh, Lisa, do you have got any ideas on this one

Lisa: so far as, Simply go forward, Laura.

Laura: I simply was, I believed Sabrina did a terrific job capturing the perception since you’re proper, we’ve written so much about these people and [00:05:00] just like the, the girl from Central Ohio who owned her personal, , owned her personal bar and he or she hasn’t actually spoken about it. That was plenty of detective work by, like, John Conig had to enter her background cuz , she had voted for Obama previously after which this was identical to, oh, prefer it was actually humanizing.

I, I, I, I, I do assume she’s taking possession of it, which you’ll be able to’t say that about everyone who was there that day. Yeah. I

Lisa: imply, yeah, I believe she’s one of many few that’s proven regret. We’ve had just a few which have proven regret after they had been sentenced, , after they lastly confronted the music. However I believe in a big half, most of them, , are going to jail on an ideology.

They help. Yeah,

Chris: I do know. However with how polarized the nation is, I, what number of occasions have we name them loos? I’ve performed it 1,000,000 occasions on this podcast. . They, I imply, it was loopy time in Washington with these individuals pondering they had been going to take over the federal government, however except we perceive what they’re pondering in order that we will attain center floor, we’re by no means gonna recover from [00:06:00] this polarization.

This sort of a letter does give us some perception into what now we have. For 2 years is simply kooky habits. Fascinating story. It’s on cleveland.com and also you’re listening to at the moment in Ohio, we’re lower than two weeks from the midterm elections, so we requested northeast Ohio whether or not they belief our election system.

Lisa, what did they inform us?

Lisa: Yeah, this can be a ballot that we commissioned with Baldwin Wallace College, uh, Group Analysis Institute. They, uh, surveyed 504 Northeast Ohio residents, and so they had been pulled between October seventh and 18th on a number of points together with this one. And it appears that evidently they’re way more assured in state elections than they’re in nationwide elections, and you may think about that the demographic and political breakdowns inform the story.

So taking a look at. Elections Republicans, 52% should not two or under no circumstances assured that these elections are truthful. [00:07:00] 75% of Democrats do or do have faith in US elections. And while you break it down by race, uh, half of black individuals surveyed stated that they had been, , assured. 58% of white voters, 65% of these 65 and over had been assured.

However solely 49% of individuals within the 18 to 49 age of bracket had been assured within the final result of elections. You already know, uh, nationwide. Um, and it additionally breaks down so far as earnings too. 66% of those that make 100 thousand {dollars} or extra a 12 months assured elections, however solely 49% of those that make $50,000 a 12 months and beneath.

However after we take a look at Ohio elections, the numbers nearly flip in a means. 71% of, uh, Ohio Republicans are assured in Ohio. 80% of Democrats, uh, barely not fairly as a lot change in in race, however 54% of black voters and 72% of [00:08:00] white voters stated that they had been assured in state elections. Uh, we requested pollster Lauren Copeland, why?

She stated, Effectively, , Trump received Ohio each in 2016 and 2020 by a cushty margin whereas the G O P managed the state authorities. So that they didn’t have any motive to query elections as a result of g o P was working the. However she says nationally it’s attributable to Trump’s refusal to just accept the result of

Chris: the election.

Effectively and the Republican demagogues that preserve telling individuals it was stolen, we, it stays to be seen. Whether or not the military of ballot watchers that we preserve listening to about will present up on the polls to intrude with individuals are making an attempt to vote. I took this as an excellent signal that regardless of two years of efforts to undermine our religion in elections, individuals largely.

Preserve their religion in elections. We now have a really robust and sound election system on this nation, but it surely, it’s not strong. It, it has some, some weak point within the basis and blame [00:09:00] Donald Trump, Blame Lindsay Grant, blame all these guys that exit and, and say these ridiculous issues about how our elections are being stolen.

You’re listening to at the moment in Ohio, plenty of elections are decided by the turnout. If voters of 1 occasion are unexcited and keep residence, the opposite occasion advantages. What do the early returns say in regards to the largely democratic strongholds, the cities, Laura?

Laura: Effectively, they’re lagging in to this point in early voting, particularly in areas with massive black populations.

And Andrew Tobias, our political chief political reporter, checked out some agency from Goal Good, which is a Democratic information agency that I imagine Tim Ryan makes use of in his marketing campaign. They usually did this evaluation of early votes solid by way of Wednesday. It exhibits that Democrats are pacing forward of their 20. Teen early votes statewide, however there’s hundreds of fewer Democratic main voters casting ballots and three congressional districts with the best percentages of black voters in comparison with the identical level for 4 years in the past.

[00:10:00] That’s the third, the tenth and the eleventh. That’s Columbus. Dayton and Cleveland. Cuyahoga County is the, has the. Largest black inhabitants within the state, and I believe individuals are, Effectively, the Coga County, uh, chair of the Democratic Get together received’t say he’s nervous but, however clearly there’s some concern right here. There must

Chris: be concern.

I imply, it, the, the numbers are important and it’s giving hope to Lee Winegart. That he may be this uncommon Republican that wins a county extensive race, that this isn’t new. Since Obama left workplace, you’ve seen depressed turnout on this county. We noticed it final 12 months on the mayors race. A really small mm-hmm.

portion of the inhabitants really selected the chief of the town. I, I’m stunned, I believed as a result of there’s been a lot mania about this election and due to the Ryan Vance debate, the Democrats would present. However they’re, they’re clearly not as , uh, to guage this by earlier [00:11:00] elections.

Laura: Yeah.

The Cuyahoga County has an 18% drop in individuals making use of to vote for this election, which is large. And so,

Chris: however, however let me, let me cease you for a sec although. We now have talked so much about mail theft. Um, I imply, we’ve had individuals working round with mailbox keys for a 12 months, stealing. Taking checks nextdoor.com is loaded with details about how harmful the mail is.

I ponder if individuals are figuring, I’m going to the polls, I’m not gonna belief it to get stolen within the mail.

Laura: Effectively, that’s solely attainable, and we’re nonetheless every week and a half out. There’s nonetheless plenty of early voting days the place you possibly can go to the Board of Elections and vote early in individual, and sure, you possibly can drop off your poll.

The Board of Elections. I used to be really, uh, taking a look at images from two years in the past this time of 12 months when my good friend had despatched me footage of her standing on the aspect of the freeway that I 90 exit at. Oh yeah. Um, what? Individuals had been lined as much as vote early. I hope we don’t see that [00:12:00] once more the weekend earlier than the election as a result of no one needs to attend in line for hours within the chilly so as.

Each, though

Chris: that was presidential, proper? I imply,

Laura: you’re speaking 25. It was preside. Proper. It it proper. Two years in the past it was presidential, however so that you’re hoping, I hope that folks don’t wait until the final minute as a result of you then get this clog of individuals making an attempt to vote and it’s not good for anyone. However, um, what’s fascinating, there’s a few fascinating issues about this story, however like I like, clearly nobody is aware of the way you vote, it’s personal, however they will simply know by previous.

Exercise and, and first ballots that you just pull what individuals are more likely to vote. So all of those estimates are simply that, they’re simply guesses. Um, however then we, Andrew talked to somebody who stated, , abortion is a big situation on individuals’s thoughts. Um, and we don’t, , individuals are speaking about it, however that inflation, that may not be sufficient to drive them to the polls.

Effectively,

Chris: I hope, I hope this doesn’t imply that for these of us who voted, the polls on election day are gonna be in lengthy strains as a result of all of the those who didn’t mail [00:13:00] of their ballots

Laura: I mailed in mine. So you can’t blame

Chris: me. . We’ll see. It’s at the moment in Ohio. Courtney, he had a hell of a narrative yesterday. Did Justin Bibb, the Cleveland Mayor break the regulation together with his choices for the brand new police commiss?

Courtney: Yeah, this was a, a little bit of a doozy to report. So what we’ve realized from these 13 nominees which have been put forth by the mayor and metropolis council for potential seating on the Group police Fee, the, these individuals haven’t been formally appointed but. They’ve nonetheless gotta undergo council’s affirmation course of.

But when this most well-liked record is allowed to proceed, a few of the key people behind getting situation 24 on the poll, which created this new beefed up model of the Group Police Fee say that the town is seating these individuals incorrectly. They are saying that the best way the town is studying the constitution, Concerning the varieties of people that, who’re to serve on the fee.

That that BIB’s studying of the constitution [00:14:00] is, it’s a direct violation of this regulation that, that voters overwhelmingly put in place final 12 months. And what this all comes right down to is one line within the constitution that that lays out. Primarily 5 totally different classes of parents which are to be represented on the fee.

It contains attorneys who’ve represented instances of police misconduct, individuals wrongfully convicted, um, the place police had been concerned in that wrongful conviction. Individuals touched by gun violence, individuals touched by police violence and, and so, uh, Bbbs level individual on this choice course of for all these. , it informed me that the town was deciphering that line to imply they solely wanted to take a kind of varied containers, not all 5 of the varied containers which are outlined within the constitution.

Now that may be a massive situation for the oldsters, uh, behind Subject 24 who stated, A, the plain [00:15:00] language of the constitution doesn’t enable, um, the town to interpret the language this manner. They usually stated, , You plain language apart, this isn’t in any respect what we meant. We particularly worded it the best way we did. In order that one from every of these 5 classes can be represented on the fee.

Chris: The, the disgrace of that is that that bib was the one candidate for mayor who stood firmly behind this constitution query. Uh, and, And you’d. That he would help it 100%. What they’re doing is preposterous. You’ll be able to’t do what they’re doing. So it makes you marvel, is that this intentional? As a result of something this fee does, if it’s not composed appropriately, the poli, if the police don’t like the choice, they’ll sue and so they’ll say, Effectively, it’s not even in accordance with the constitution.

And something it does will not be authorized. I, I simply don’t get. I imply, that is looks like such a transparent lower case. Why would they do it? Except it’s intentional to sabotage this fee [00:16:00] in order that the town doesn’t really should comply with it. What did bib should say? Nothing. Proper, As a result of he received’t reply.

Courtney: I, I reached out to bit for remark.

I’ve not heard again but. Yeah. Um, I did discuss a little bit bit , Proper. Um, I did discuss a little bit bit to the council president, however I’m nonetheless ready to listen to what the mayor has to say right here. You already know, af after I first received this authorized understanding from the purpose individual on. On BIB’s choice course of. I then talked yesterday to metropolis regulation director Mark Griffin, and it, it appears like Griffin.

Griffin stated he agrees with that authorized reasoning, the authorized reasoning that you just solely should tick a kind of containers. But in addition he then claimed that even on prime of that, that by some means that they’d ticked all of these containers. They didn’t assume they needed to, however they stated they did as a result of one of many members. Was, for instance, acquainted or educated.

Of attorneys who had labored on instances of police misconduct. Now, this member has [00:17:00] developed a, a nifty app that walks prison defendants by way of the authorized system, however the charters, the constitution framers name that sort of argument from Griffin Nonsensical, , uh, that somebody that, that, that they meant for an legal professional to be seated on this fee.

They attended for somebody wrongfully convicted by police. To be seated on this fee and what the town’s going again doing now could be saying that, that this one member, as a result of she’s accustomed to these points, however hasn’t really labored on them or wasn’t really wrongfully dedicated, that that technically tick the containers though they argue they don’t have

Chris: to technically the field.

Proper. And that is Mark Griffin, who didn’t cease. Bib from marching within the municipal courtroom to expunge hundreds of marijuana information, which turned out to be unlawful, and so they ended up having to drop the entire thing. So possibly his authorized opinion on that is as precious because it was on that. It’s an excellent story.

Learn it on cleveland.com. Glad Courtney was right here to speak about it at the moment. It’s at the moment in Ohio. We’ve [00:18:00] received an excellent little bit of expertise now with medical marijuana in Ohio. Is it working to deal with issues like most cancers, ache and publish traumatic stress dysfunction? Lisa, what do the medical doctors inform us?

Lisa: Yeah, it’s definitely there are 25 illnesses or circumstances which are, , licensed to be, , really useful for marijuana remedy.

And out of these, , 4 of them, they had been very happy with, This was a survey by the State Medical Board of Ohio, and out of 648 medical doctors in Ohio which are licensed to advocate marijuana, 583 of them responded to this survey. In order that’s a extremely excessive. Participation fee. So that they discovered that their satisfaction was greatest with treating persistent, extreme and intractable ache.

So over 59% of these surveys stated they had been happy with that for marijuana. As a remedy, 53 and a half had been happy with a most cancers affected person. You already know, utilizing it with most cancers sufferers, 50% of [00:19:00] medical doctors surveyed stated it was good for fibromyalgia and 50% additionally stated it was good for post-traumatic stress dysfunction.

We wanna stress that that is doctor observations solely, so it’s simply their view of whether or not it’s working for his or her sufferers. However, uh, the 21 different authorized medical circumstances received. Satisfaction fee of fifty% or much less. A few of them actually low. I imply, solely 10% of medical doctors surveyed had been happy with its remedy for huntings tins illness, and solely 16% had been proud of its remedy on, uh, sickle cell anemia and a myotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called als.

However they wished to. That there was low dissatisfaction on all 25 circumstances on the record because of the relative low threat of marijuana. Effectively,

Chris: I, I get it that, that it’s physician’s observations, however medical doctors hear from plenty of sufferers who’ve ache, and if what they do for these sufferers doesn’t alleviate the ache, the sufferers elevate [00:20:00] well being.

Now, the medical doctors additionally earn cash when individuals come to them to get the medical marijuana card. So I suppose there’s a few of that, however I, I used to be fascinated by. That it had such a excessive worth for most cancers affected person.

Lisa: Sure. Sure. And really after I was working at MD Anderson, , they had been, it was known as, uh, I can’t keep in mind, It was a tablet, but it surely was a marijuana tablet that they’re Marinol, that’s what it was.

And there was a giant controversy about whether or not they need to give it to most cancers sufferers. However then they lastly stated, sure, it was an excellent remedy. And I do wanna level out that, uh, a psychiatrist, Dr. Solomon Zara. A psychiatrist with Compassionate Cleveland, which is a medical marijuana apply. He stated that his PTSD sufferers noticed nearly instant enchancment with their sleep.

Sleep disruption is a giant deal for PTSD sufferers, and he stated they’re additionally much less anxious and hypervigilant after, uh, ingesting marijuana. Okay.

Chris: It’s at the moment in Ohio. Does video present [00:21:00] Shaker Heights Police shot a person who was working away from them and never aiming a gun at them? Is that why the Shaker Police Division refuses to say a phrase about this?

And the place are the socially acutely aware Shaker Heights residence not having outrage about one, what the video exhibits and two, their police division clamming up. Laura, this can be a shock.

Laura: It’s a shock and I don’t have all of the solutions for you. Um, I simply know what we all know. And that’s on Friday afternoon about three o’clock, that there was a chase within the college yard of the Shaker Heights Excessive Faculty and police shot.

A, a person, I truthfully, I don’t know if he’s 17 or 25. All now we have is that this video to go on and there have been no children at college that day. There was, it was a break day from college, however there have been lecturers within the constructing. There was a lockdown on the college and there was, , band children that had been gonna be coming to get able to go to the soccer sport that night time in Cleveland Heights.

However now we have this video, we don’t. A police [00:22:00] report and it exhibits, , it’s physique cam footage, it’s very jerky. It’s it’s law enforcement officials with a police canine working by way of the yard, over some bushes, over a sidewalk yelling, Cease at this man. You’ll be able to see he has a gun in his hand. He stumbles after which he appears to be stopping, least slowing down and his arm swings again and he by no means turns to face the officers.

And I don’t know if he’s being tased or he’s falling or making an attempt to cease or what, however um, That’s when he will get shot. Yeah.

Chris: I imply, it looks like it’s outta management while you watch the video, the, the officers outta management. I’m gonna shoot you screaming on the man. And th there doesn’t look like any level, any level in there the place that man aimed the gun on the officers after which they shot him.

No. So, okay. However the video is the video. Possibly they will justify it. They refuse to speak. Evaluate this to Akron, how Akron the mayor and the police received proper out in [00:23:00] entrance. Talked intimately about it. Always had been accessible on the Shaker Heights. Police refused to say, I imply, if I had lived in Shaker Heights, I’d be furious that my taxes are paying these guys and so they refuse to be accountable for capturing a man who was working away from them.

Laura: I, I, I really feel the identical means. I, I don’t perceive why they haven’t launched these things. And also you’re proper, This, this does really feel a little bit bit related within the chase and, , the automobile situation to Jaylen Walker, which, uh, he was shot on the finish of June in Akron. And there we received a really detailed rationalization, together with the breakdown of the officers concerned.

Not the names, however how lengthy they’d been the division, their, , demographics and the police, uh, The household, the mayor, all of them did a press convention. That was every week afterward. And keep in mind they’ve of their constitution that they’re required to, to launch this video. So the factor is, this wasn’t even a automobile, prefer it was a theft of a automobile, of a [00:24:00] man who lived with a lady in Paynesville, I imagine, on the twelfth of October.

This was not something that had occurred instantly earlier than. There was no hazard. It was that they stopped the. As a result of they noticed it of their police system leads that it had been stolen, and that began this chase. The man bailed from the automobile, began a foot pursuit, and, after which he will get a shot. And we don’t know if he dies or died or

Chris: not.

We don’t know. Only one, A professional. We now have so many police departments on this county and so they don’t have the coaching they want. They don’t know learn how to be accountable. And Shaker Heights has an extended historical past of being one of many least accessible, however that is, that is simply horrible. And I, I’m nonetheless stunned Shaker.

Claims to be a socially acutely aware group. Why aren’t they demanding solutions from their elected officers? The police shouldn’t be in a position to disguise out for every week and refuse to deal with this, this very, very critical situation. Anyway, you possibly can see the video. It’s on cleveland.com. See what you assume. [00:25:00] It’s at the moment in Ohio.

Do not forget that Cleveland space, physician who informed an Ohio Home committee that covid vaccines magnetize individuals? Seems like she may lastly pay for her stuy. Courtney, what’s happening?

Courtney: Yeah. Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, , a northeast Ohio osteopathic doctor. She’s, she’s, um, , beneath inve investigation from the state medical, from the State Medical Board.

Um, the, the, the board says that it’s contemplating punishment that. Might go so far as revoking her license to apply drugs within the state of Ohio. Now, a refresher on on 10 Penny right here. You already know, she went earlier than an Ohio Home committee in the summertime of 2021 saying that, , Coronavirus vaccines may interface with cell towers and magnetized recipients.

10. Penny has an extended historical past of being an anti-vaxxer. I believe this goes again over 10 years. She’s received a giant following in, in [00:26:00] that, in that realm. Um, , she, she facelessly claimed in entrance of that well being committee that sh that vaccines run a threat of inflicting most cancers, als different illnesses and this complete, this complete incident on the Ohio Home.

Actually drew plenty of nationwide media protection and it will definitely helped rile up sufficient political opposition to kill a broad anti-vaccination invoice that she was showing so she may testify in help of it. So we don’t know although. Precisely why the State Medical Board kicked off their investigation, however we do know that they’re accusing her of ignoring for months, investigators request for more information and for, , allegedly defying a, a subpoena.

Looking for her deposition right here. Effectively, I’m

Chris: glad they’re doing one thing cuz that is embarrassing to dwell in Ohio and have an official listening to the place, the place an Ohio physician will get up and says that nonsense. It was [00:27:00] lined in every single place. It was simply one of many extra ridiculous issues. You puzzled what the legislature was pondering, permitting any individual.

On the market to provide official testimony cuz that these are presupposed to be hearings wherein you acquire details and right here you have got any individual speaking about cell towers and magnetism. I imply, she could as effectively been carrying an aluminum foil hat. So I’m glad to listen to that the individuals who licensed inventory.

There’s are alarmed and are going at it and I can’t wait to see how this one comes out. There’s a time when individuals who do unhealthy issues face the music. It’s at the moment in Ohio. We’re gonna say goodbye to Courtney cuz she needs to get out and canopy some information. Thanks very a lot Courtney. Bye. Has a northeast Ohio startup discovered the answer to the off report truck diver scarcity within the workings of courting apps.

Lisa, that is an uncommon story.

Lisa: I believe it’s good. It is a Cleveland startup known as Drive My Approach. It’s software program the place truckers can [00:28:00] publish profiles of their work.
