[00:00:00] Chris: Let’s wind down the week on right now in Ohio, the information podcast dialogue from cleveland.com and The Plain Supplier. I’m Chris Quinn right here with Lisa Garvin. Lela Tassi, and Laura Johnston, and let’s begin with the hate mongers. They’ll be again out subsequent weekend making an attempt to intimidate those that attacked a drag brunch.

Lisa, the place is that this and what’s going on?

[00:00:24] Lisa: Yeah. Paul Males Delara, who’s the proprietor and government chef of Component 41, which is a restaurant in. Is internet hosting a drag queen brunch for 18 and over ticket holders. They ha it’s a pancake breakfast that’s going to be, uh, held by the Group Church of Chesterland and the proceeds will profit a neighborhood household who misplaced their mom and breadwinner not too long ago.

There are two seedings of this breakfast and so they’re each offered out, however outdoors will. Maybe a whole lot of protestors males. Delara says he’s acquired loads of hate on his social media feeds, [00:01:00] particularly Fb Individuals have been calling his restaurant nonstop, threatening him. They’re calling it a pedophile restaurant, that they’re grooming youngsters for pedophiles.

They’re reducing property values in Chardon. Individual stated, I hope your house burns down. There was a lady who referred to as and stated There’ll be 100 individuals with hid carry permits outdoors the restaurant, throughout the brunch. So males Delara just isn’t taking probabilities. He’s actually not canceling, however he stated he’s gonna rent safety guards and so they purchased some steel detector wands.

So that they’re gonna, I assume, display screen everyone who comes into the re.

[00:01:36] Chris: Someone despatched me a, a picture of the proud boys, I don’t know, advert I assume is what you name it for this factor. And so they used the language that Donald Trump used when he was exhorting individuals to come back to Washington for January sixth. It’ll be wild.

It’s the, these are usually not chocolate county residents for probably the most half. These are outsiders, exhorted to rage, in all probability by the lakes of Tucker Carlson and that ilk. [00:02:00] And so they’re coming in to boost hell for no actual. That is, that is simply rage for the sake of rage,

[00:02:06] Lisa: proper? And, and right here’s what bothers me as, as an individual who’s my oldest and dearest pal, is a drag queen, is that individuals conflate pedophilia with homosexuality or L G B T Q.

Pedophiles are usually not L G B T Q. They’re pedophiles, however that’s the inflation that they, I didn’t maintain

[00:02:26] Laura: that in any respect. Yeah. I used to be like, how does this make any sense? Additionally, hid carry permits, like there’s gonna be lots of people that don’t have a allow and don’t want one. He

[00:02:34] Lisa: anymore Ohio. Proper, proper.

And also you males Delara, he’s owned this restaurant since 2017 and he has supported L G B T Q causes earlier than, however I, I’m happy with him for digging in his heels and, and going ahead. So I’m hoping there can be counter protestors.

[00:02:51] Chris: That’s what’s been occurring throughout the nation of late. There was one the place the, the proud boys acquired their butts kicked and had been whining about, I didn’t come right here to, to get crushed [00:03:00] up.

No. You got here to intimidate and, and scare the hell out of individuals. Uh, what, what this, the, what all the time throws me about that is when, when the proud boys are doing this sort of protest, they, they, they declare they’re doing, In free speech rights, proper? As a result of you will have a proper to protest. However what they’re actually making an attempt to do is squelch free speech.

They don’t need L B D Q individuals to have free speech. They don’t need ‘em to be round, they need ‘em to be invisible. And they also use these, these armed intimidation techniques to, to scare ‘em. And it’s, it’s actually reprehensible. And, and but there was a report this week that the variety of antis. Actions and final yr had been approach up over the earlier yr below skyrocketing.

And the specialists are saying that’s as a result of we’ve leaders now exhorting individuals to hate when when leaders do it, individuals observe. And so as an alternative of getting leaders, calming individuals down and, and. Calling for civility. We now have ‘em utilizing [00:04:00] phrases like there’ll be struggle within the streets. What did, uh, you had a number of senators this week.

If Donald Trump will get arrested, there’ll be struggle on this nation. It’s these sorts of fiery language episodes that carry out the proud boys to do nonsense like this. However

[00:04:15] Lisa: then when violence does occur, they are saying that, you realize, oh, I didn’t trigger that. I didn’t incite that. You recognize, they’re liable for their very own actions, is what they prefer to say.

[00:04:27] Chris: Effectively, and each time you will have a bunch of individuals with weapons in a tent state of affairs mm-hmm. , who is aware of what can occur. It’s a, it’s gonna be a troublesome day that day in Juga County you’re listening to right now in Ohio, Ohio, Senate President Matt Huffman revealed the logic behind the hypocrisy of the particular August election to impede an effort to legalize abortion.

However he could not be capable of get it by means of. He’s acquired a giant roadblock. Laura, what’s the newest on this?

[00:04:56] Laura: Effectively, Matt Huffman is so clear in his motivation. He desires to [00:05:00] kill the abortion rights Modification, and right here’s his quote. If we save 30,000 lives on account of spending 20 million, I feel that’s an important factor.

Now, the numbers in there, 20 million is a value of the particular election. 30,000 lives is off. He’s speaking in regards to the variety of abortions in Ohio. Ohio had 21,813 abortions in 2021, so. over exaggerated that, however he principally doesn’t wanna see an abortion rights modification. He doesn’t wanna see different poll me measures like a proposed statute to legalize leisure marijuana in Ohio.

And he’s actually able to, I, I imply, form of play soiled with this to see, uh, 60% measure handed in order that as an alternative of simply 50% plus one with a purpose to cross a constitutional a. That it is possible for you to, you, you, it’s important to get 60%. And by the way in which, within the Senate model of this Invoice , they wanna that whereas August particular elections are nonetheless banned, cuz do not forget that’s what they did in Lame Duck final yr, which you can nonetheless have them for constitutional [00:06:00] amendments so long as the amendments come from the legislature, not voters.

I imply, that is so pointed, however sure, Jason Stevens says not so quick. He’s principally saying, . We simply handed this for no particular election. That is some huge cash and it’s loads of work for the boards of

elections.

[00:06:18] Chris: Effectively, I, I’m wondering now whether or not Huffman did this as a stunt to get bonafides from the anti-abortion crowd, understanding it wouldn’t occur.

Jason Stevens is the home chief as a result of he has democratic help. Mm-hmm. , and if he goes by means of with this, these Democrats that elected him, president will. Presumably run away, which might put it into Derek Marin’s fingers. So Huffman could have finished this complete factor understanding that it, it gained’t occur for August, however then he seems to be like a darling of the anti-abortion crowd.

Then the

[00:06:56] Laura: gamesmanship, and we speak about this on a regular basis, proper? Like they’re simply. Taking part in [00:07:00] politics down in Columbus, no person’s really talking for the individuals. And keep in mind after they handed this laws to ban August particular elections, they stated it was permitting colleges and governments to cite recreation the system when most voters aren’t paying consideration.

And that’s precisely what they wanna do right here. They wish to trick individuals principally and take away the voter’s energy. So whether or not or not he’s doing it for a stunt like Matt Huffman’s, very clear that he doesn’t care what the individuals of Ohio.

[00:07:28] Chris: Effectively, to Steven’s credit score, he talked about all that, that this places an enormous onus on elections boards, that are already below hearth due to all of the nonsense about election deniers.

It does price 20 million that we don’t actually have on this state, and you’ve got the low turnout. And he stated all of that and. To his credit score, when he first acquired the job, he stated, yeah, I don’t find out about this. I’m, I’m unsure I wish to go on this route anyway, in order that, that’s a roadblock. As a result of I feel the [00:08:00] Democrats that supported him will foyer him closely not to do that, that that is enjoying unfair, and, and also you gotta suppose Hoffman knew that.

So it’s only a very cynical play to say, Hey, look, anti-abortion individuals, we tried, however you realize, the individuals in the home blocked. .

[00:08:17] Laura: Effectively, it’s good. That’s his intent. I nonetheless suppose that it’s a giant waste of time and exhibits how little he cares about all of the individuals in Ohio.

[00:08:25] Chris: A lot sleazy, maneuvering you’re listening to right now in Ohio with an efficient H P V vaccine in widespread use.

Why are H P V associated cancers particularly of the top and the neck on the rise? Layla, this was a really attention-grabbing story by Gretchen Crow. Yeah, the

[00:08:43] Leila: vaccine has precipitated cervical most cancers charges to drop dramatically to a 3rd of what they as soon as had been. However as you stated, the medical neighborhood has been form of baffled to see the opposite sorts of H P V cancers improve.

So researchers at college hospitals, Are wanting intently at this downside. [00:09:00] They’re really greater than 100 strains of H P V, all of which might probably trigger most cancers. And so they’re identified to be liable for a bunch of cancers, together with cancers of the throat and tongue. And since males are far much less more likely to be vaccinated in opposition to HPV V than ladies, males are inclined to develop these cancers much more usually.

The vaccine is, is presently really helpful for each girls and boys as younger as age 9. They’re possible, however you realize, they’re more likely to be uncovered to H V V later in life, in order that’s an excellent time to get them vaccinated. However solely about 20% of boys really do get the vaccine. For ladies, it’s about 55%. In order that stated, there’s, there’s extra to the story.

The researcher who Gretchen spoke to. Mentioned that. Opposite to well-liked perception on the earth of analysis, completely different strains of H P V really behave in another way and reply in another way to therapy. Some trigger way more aggressive types of most cancers, however till now, analysis has actually centered totally on H P V 16, which is that the majority widespread pressure within the one which causes 90% of cervical [00:10:00] cancers.

However as a result of the vaccine solely protects in opposition to the 9 most typical strains, there’s concern that any a kind of different strains would possibly emerge as because the predominant pressure. Which might require the event of latest vaccines. So the, uh, lab is engaged on two new medication that they hope can cease H P V from inflicting most cancers even when you can’t cease the an infection.

To date, these appear to work in all of the types of H P V associated to cancers which have been, uh, transplanted onto mice. So very promising outcomes. So, ,

[00:10:34] Chris: what age do they advocate the kids get this shot? This isn’t a kind of toddler sort pictures, proper? It comes later.

[00:10:41] Leila: Yeah. Effectively, my daughter, my oldest daughter is 11 and this was the primary properly youngster, she, properly, youngster examination she had the place they really helpful the vaccine.

So, and it’s, I feel it’s

[00:10:51] Laura: about that age. , it takes two, and so they unfold it out over two years, I consider. And it’s, it’s not probably the most nice shot they’ve gotten. However [00:11:00] yeah, I used to be, as soon as we acquired as much as that age, I used to be like, oh, we’re right here already. However, um, yeah, I, I’m, I’m shocked that the distinction between girls and boys.

It’s attention-grabbing.

[00:11:09] Leila: Was it, was it age 11 for, on your son? Was that after they began

[00:11:12] Laura: to ask? I feel so. You about it? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:11:15] Chris: And that and Laura, along with your son, they, they stated, Hey, this can be a shot that we advocate for boys now.

[00:11:22] Laura: Effectively, they advocate it for all youngsters. Mm-hmm. , I imply, when you have a look at the adverts, um, they’ve actually pushed mother and father to guard their youngsters sooner or later.

Proper? It’s not one thing, it’s hope one thing your youngsters would hopefully by no means come into contact with, but when they do, this protects them. And I feel as a result of there’s the sexually transmitted illness facet, it makes it loads onerous. , you gotta be extra considerate about it or the place it hits individuals in another way than just like the chickenpox vaccine, proper?

Like no person desires to consider their 11 yr previous having intercourse. And I feel that makes it extra dicey for some mother and father to determine whether or not they need their youngsters to get it.

[00:11:57] Chris: Now as ordinary with Gretchen’s [00:12:00] tales, it’s fascinating. And dialog sparking. Take a look at her story. It’s on cleveland.com and you’re listening to right now in Ohio.

How did some Ohio members of Congress be part of within the bipartisan criticism of TikTok throughout a listening to in regards to the wildly well-liked video web site,

[00:12:18] Lisa: Lisa? Yeah, it looks like everybody on the Home Vitality and Commerce Committee, uh, had a. Entrance of their hearings yesterday with TikTok, C E O Present Chew that went on for 5 hours yesterday.

Quite a lot of intense questioning. Bob Lata, the Republican from Bowling Inexperienced, says he desires to amend the Communications Decency Act, often known as Part two 30 that protects on-line providers from legal responsibility for third occasion content material. He stated that TikTok is an ideal instance of why they need to do this, and he.

Can the Communist Social gathering of China entry consumer knowledge, invoice Johnson from Marietta was shocked on the quantity of code sharing between TikTok and its [00:13:00] Chinese language based mostly counterpart Duy, which can also be owned by Chunk Dance, as is TikTok. He stated the supply code appears to be riddled with again doorways and commun, uh, communist occasion censorship units, and so they pointed to a video or movies that threatened committee chair Kathy McMorris Rogers a Republican from Washington.

Together with one with a gun that was proven. And so a number of of the, the, uh, individuals within the committee confirmed these movies to chew and he stated, and so they really took down a video throughout the listening to whereas it was happening. However, uh, you realize, anyone identified, how will you defend 150 million individuals when you’ll be able to’t even defend individuals on this room?

And, uh, that was Cat Cammack. Florida who stated that, and she or he stated that the video, uh, in opposition to mc Morris Rodgers was up for a month earlier than they took it down. And Troy Balderson, the Republican of Zanesville, stated there, he accuses TikTok of utilizing algorithms to push movies to youngsters that encourages dangerous [00:14:00] or fed deadly challenges, consuming problems and glorifying drug use and porn.

[00:14:06] Chris: It’s unusual to me that that is so wildly well-liked given how a lot of a risk China is to America. I’m simply shocked mother and father understanding that may let their youngsters use it as a result of there does appear to be a hazard right here. Uh, you’re, you’re seeing it on all ranges of presidency. Holy moly. You recognize, is China utilizing this type of social media as a weapon and also you don’t actually have a straight reply and.

Thousands and thousands of many. It’s probably the most downloaded app on the, on the Apple iTunes retailer.

[00:14:37] Lisa: Chu did attempt to inform them, he stated there’s one thing referred to as Undertaking Texas, which might be transitioning all knowledge storage to the USA from Singapore and Virginia the place it’s presently being held. So he stated it will be, the info could be on American soil managed by an American firm with American personnel, however I don’t suppose the committee felt comforted by that.

[00:14:58] Chris: Did Layla Lar, do your [00:15:00] youngsters do TikTok? No,

[00:15:02] Leila: no, no. I’m categorically against TikTok and

[00:15:05] Lisa: there are 4.1 million Ohioans on TikTok.

[00:15:08] Leila: My youngsters don’t have telephones although both, in order that they actually haven’t any entry to loads of this know-how.

[00:15:14] Chris: we’ve You continue to use stone tablets in your home? ?

[00:15:17] Leila: They’ve come on. Her youngsters aren’t even in center college.

Yeah, principally.

[00:15:20] Laura: I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. It’s not on the telephone, however my son has a telephone. The one apps he has is like Pokemon Go is so far as we’ve gone. After which I nonetheless get the emails of your pal, your youngster has made a pal and is like, okay. Let’s examine who this individual is as a result of yeah, this can be a actually, actually scary world.

I’m placing it off so long as potential.

[00:15:38] Leila: Can I simply, I, I simply wanna give a shout out to, to, uh, my child and the opposite day. She had a pal over and I heard them over discuss. I heard them speaking within the different room about TikTok, and my daughter stated to her pal , she stated, I hate TikTok. It melts your mind and I, I don’t need something to do with it.

And her pal stated, and [00:16:00] our mothers know that, that’s why we’re not allowed to make use of it. And I simply, my coronary heart exploded. I texted the opposite mother instantly and was like, we’re doing one thing proper on this, uh, this combat. .

[00:16:11] Chris: Now we’ve a reporter in our newsroom who stated he went down the rabbit gap of it. Oh yeah.

And it was virtually addictive. And when he lastly broke free, he realized how, how form of harmful it’s. Oh yeah. It’s. A helpful program. Sure. A number of reporters.

[00:16:25] Leila: Yeah. A number of of our, a lot of our youthful reporters, even a few of our older, you realize, older employees members who they stated, particularly throughout the pandemic, it turned an addictive, uh, power of their life and so they needed to delete the app to cease themselves from partaking in it.

So harmful stuff.

[00:16:43] Chris: Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I feel Congress is onto one thing with this one you’re listening to right now in Ohio. How has Ohio’s Jim Jordan used his authorities weaponization committee to assault the Justice Division over its dealing with of threats to high school boards? Jim Jordan’s been in tremendous excessive gear, Layla, he [00:17:00] simply desires headlines.

[00:17:03] Leila: Sure, and he’s getting them. Apparently, a report issued by Jordan’s committee concluded that when Legal professional Common Merrick Garland issued this 2021 memorandum instructing the FBI to launch a minimum of 25 investigations into threats made to high school boards, that none of these investigations yielded federal fees.

So Jordan’s report says that the dearth of federal fees stemming from these circumstances exhibits an absence of a official nationwide foundation for the investigations. And he and he referred to as Garland’s directive, uh, a weaponization of regulation enforcement powers in opposition to American mother and father exercising their First Modification rights.

Now. Now it’s vital to notice that Garland’s memorandum didn’t come out of skinny air. It was issued in response to a 2021 request from the Nationwide College Boards Affiliation. They. In search of federal regulation enforcement and help to take care of what they perceived to be a rising variety of violent threats and acts of intimidation [00:18:00] directed at college boards nationwide over points like Covid Security and all these false claims that public colleges had been instructing important race idea.

These had been actual threats. Police had been dispatched to high school board conferences and and members had been getting threats and letters warning them that they may. You recognize, pay dearly for the choices that the boards had been making. And the College Board Affiliation although later rescinded that letter and Garland wouldn’t rescind his memorandum calling for the matter to be investigated.

He discovered that there have been official considerations right here for varsity boards in every single place that deserved consideration and. , they had been investigated. You recognize, I really feel just like the system actually performed out the way in which it’s supposed to on this

[00:18:40] Chris: state of affairs. Yeah. Jordan’s a complete hypocrite right here. He and his cronies exhorted individuals to get agitated in regards to the colleges.

They turned the colleges right into a rallying cry for his or her trigger as a result of Trump was going away, so, so individuals confirmed up at college board conferences who didn’t even [00:19:00] dwell within the districts to scream. These matters you talked about that alarmed college board members, as a result of that is alleged to be simply public service.

You get collectively, you speak about college budgeting, you speak about curriculum, and now you will have these loopy individuals screaming at you. So the alert goes out that, hey, there may very well be some hazard. And now Jim Jordan’s committee is saying, oh, you weaponized authorities in opposition to the individuals there have been. Considerations brought on by hate mongers like Jim Jordan that led to this, and now he’s, he’s attacking the people who responded for their very own security.

It’s actually a, a tragic time that he’s working this committee to simply assault

[00:19:41] Leila: properly, and in addition if the investigations ran their course and located that there have been no motive to carry fees in opposition to anyone, that’s the system working because it ought to. You examine issues that elevate an alarm and, and when it seems that there isn’t a motive to take, carry it out any additional.

It’s not like fees had been falsely, uh, [00:20:00] leveled at anyone. And he ought to, he must be nice with that . That’s, that’s, uh, yeah, that’s the way in which it goes.

[00:20:07] Chris: All proper. It, it’s simply he exhorted individuals to rage. Individuals are petrified of rage. They take actions to keep away from any hazard from rage, and now he’s attacking those that tried to guard themselves from the fad that he and his of us precipitated.

You’re listening to right now in Ohio. What’s Holo Anatomy and the way is Cleveland a frontrunner within the modern well being tech? Laura,

[00:20:30] Laura: that is one other cool story from Case Western Reserve College, and it’s like a hologram. That’s the place the title comes from, an anatomy. Uh, clearly it’s medical college students finding out the physique.

So that you placed on this helmet prefer to. Show machine and a digital actuality hologram of the physique immediately seems in entrance of you. The whole class can see the identical show. They’ll zoom out and in to discover how bones and muscle tissues work collectively and have a look at inside organs as properly. Apparently, it’s really.

Simpler to see these inside organs than when you had been [00:21:00] working with a cadaver. See, um, case Western Reserve got here up with this concept a couple of years again and different universities needed in on that. And because the in college isn’t a enterprise, they created this firm Loomis to promote it. The helmet is made by Microsoft, and so excess of 22 universities and medical facilities across the nation are utilizing the software program that grew throughout Covid.

Since Stu, college students finding out remotely, they may all see the identical factor and really have class collectively, however they don’t ever intend properly proper now to promote this to precise medical facilities. It’s only for schooling. Yeah,

[00:21:34] Chris: it’s a captivating know-how cuz you actually, apparently really feel like you’re working regardless that you don’t have a cadaver.

And it’s, it’s nice that it’s spreading, that this sort of Cleveland based mostly tech is getting the be used elsewhere and bringing us extra consideration. I really feel

[00:21:51] Laura: like each couple of weeks we’re speaking a couple of actually cool concept that’s popping out of Case Western Reserve and the way it’s unfold to the nation. So I’m, it’s, it’s cool to have such a [00:22:00] distinctive and modern.

College in our, our midst and, and that it’s serving to medical college students ob clearly , we all know by means of Covid. We positively want the entire, you realize, the entire healthcare professionals. So that is nice. However

[00:22:14] Leila: I

[00:22:15] Lisa: don’t suppose it’ll ever exchange cadavers although. No. You recognize,

[00:22:18] Laura: um, however they’re not saying that. Yeah.

However, however for exploring the physique and studying about the place organs are and the way they work collectively, moderately than practising surgical procedure, that they are saying this really works higher, that college students study twice as quick and so they retain extra inform.

[00:22:32] Leila: You recognize, I simply needed so as to add, you realize, my brother is a doctor and went to medical college not that way back and informed me many tales about engaged on cadavers and the way by the point they’re finished with this cadaver, It’s unrecognizable as a human being.

And I feel one thing like this, uh, ought to probably exchange cadaver work as a result of it looks like it’s a way more, uh, you realize, it’s, it, you realize, if it, if it [00:23:00] precisely and, and offers individuals the sense that they’re really working with the, the human physique or zooming in on these organ. That, that actually may very well be a, a greater illustration of, uh, of the work than, than utilizing a cadaver that’s been manipulated by, you realize, dozens of medical college students.

[00:23:19] Chris: Okay. Good story you’re listening to right now in Ohio. Let’s have some excellent news. When’s the final time Covid circumstances had been as little as they’re now in Cuyahoga County? Lisa, this sort of got here from nowhere cuz only a month in the past we had been speaking about how the circumstances had been going

[00:23:34] Lisa: up, proper? And circumstances have continued a downward development for the previous few weeks.

We had 7,586 new Covid circumstances this week. That’s the bottom since April of 2022. And this decline is. Week in a row that circumstances have gone down. We did have a excessive on January fifth for at, at 13,895 circumstances. So fairly a giant drop off, virtually half. [00:24:00] So in whole, because the pandemic began in Ohio, we’ve had 3.4 million circumstances reported.

And, uh, uh, because the 2021, we’ve had, um, about 28,483.

[00:24:17] Chris: Yeah, I simply, I don’t perceive, I didn’t perceive why it was going up as of a month in the past cuz it was a reasonably regular improve and actually don’t have a clue as to why it’s gone again down. Uh, however it’s excellent news to have that not circulating on the market as a lot because it had been.

Provides individuals some relative security in crowds. You’re listening to right now in Ohio, in northeast Ohio. We’re one of many uncommon locations in America with the president buried in our midst. However the monument that incorporates the president is deteriorating what’s being finished, Layla, to protect the Garfield Monument.

[00:24:52] Leila: This preservation effort really started again in 2019, however it stalled as a result of cash ran out.

Now the Lakeview Cemetery has acquired [00:25:00] some funding to finish the work, and so they not too long ago introduced their plans to the Cleveland Landmarks Fee, who appeared fairly happy with what they’ve acquired coming down the street. They, they plan on changing the decrease terrace, which. May show fairly difficult as a result of there was water leakage relationship again greater than 100 years.

That has actually taken a toll on it. They hope to interchange the concrete pavers, which have begun cracking and, and shifting with a water-proof prime, together with a number of layers of fabric like quartz to enhance water stream and drainage. That was the one element of the plan that the Landmarks Fee questioned.
