Speaker 1: Five oh five fifty five k RC DE Talk Station.
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 2: I'm the dude.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm Brian Thomas, SOCI thirty five KRC Morning Show.
Speaker 3: Happy Wednesday to everybody who you can stick around all morning.
Speaker 3: Got some good guests lined up, thanks to executive producer
Speaker 3: Joe Strecker for lining them up, starting with Donod and
Speaker 3: Neil Americans for Prosperities. Donald and Neil joining the program
Speaker 3: at seven thirty. As is typically the case, uh a
Speaker 3: FP urging wallmakers to override Dwines Vetos. We talk about
Speaker 3: that this morning. Uh and he has comments about the
Speaker 3: so called Big Beautiful Bill. Of course, it's gonna be
Speaker 3: tossed around the center or the House today. I think
Speaker 3: it's already out of committee. You'll be put up for
Speaker 3: a full vote today if I read the information correctly.
Speaker 3: Not guaranteed though, as rumbored swirling that is up to
Speaker 3: as many as up to as many as twenty representatives
Speaker 3: are against it on the Republican side of the ledge.
Speaker 3: Of course, you can only afford to lose a handful.
Speaker 3: So that's beyond the numbers that would allow it to
Speaker 3: pass in the House. So we will see what ultimately happens.
Speaker 3: Just keep your popcorn out, folks. Steve, also from the
Speaker 3: Klamic County Veteran Service, has got some information to pass
Speaker 3: along to my veteran friend. Steve's good man looking out
Speaker 3: for our American veterans, and salute to everybody at the
Speaker 3: various veteran services agencies for what you're doing each and
Speaker 3: every day for our veterans. State Senator George Lang joins
Speaker 3: the program at eighth five. George's gonna be talking about
Speaker 3: the Ohio budget. And finally, of course, a judge anted
Speaker 3: Apolotado with some comments about Independence Day and are we
Speaker 3: freer now than we were under King George, it's a
Speaker 3: legitimate question to ask pretty much clear you no direction.
Speaker 3: Judge is going to go on that one. So uh,
Speaker 3: if you want to call feel free love hearing from
Speaker 3: me five one three, seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred
Speaker 3: eighty two to three talk or pound five fifty on
Speaker 3: aight and t funds. Normally would be listener lunch today
Speaker 3: because it is the first Wednesday in July. Man, where
Speaker 3: the hell did June go? Anyhow, We've gone on the
Speaker 3: blink of an eye. But because of Independence Day on Friday,
Speaker 3: we are kicking it to next Wednesday. I have been
Speaker 3: trying to let everybody know we're going to be at
Speaker 3: Wandering Monsters Brewery. Wandering Monsters, it's beach Beachmont Avenue. I
Speaker 3: think that's fair. I remember that correctly. But it's supposed
Speaker 3: to have good food, it's supposed to be a lot
Speaker 3: of fun, and I'm hoping you can make it. Put
Speaker 3: it down on your calendar, show up a listener. Lunch
Speaker 3: usually starts about eleven thirty, So Beachmont eighty two to
Speaker 3: fifty one Beachmont Avenue is the location of Wandering Monsters.
Speaker 3: Get a kick out of the name of that place. Anyway,
Speaker 3: back over here in the state of Ohio, of course,
Speaker 3: the the wine did veto quite a few things, most
Speaker 3: notably the ones relating to maybe some relief for property insurance.
Speaker 3: Get to that in a minute. But I thought this
Speaker 3: was a rather interesting combination. Here there was a study
Speaker 3: from Harris Pole talking to parents, asking parents which things
Speaker 3: they wished had never been invented, thinking about their experience
Speaker 3: versus their child experience growing up. Most of the more
Speaker 3: than half of the surveyed parents that they wished for
Speaker 3: their kids that social media didn't exist, sixty two percent,
Speaker 3: so they wish TikTok had never been invented sixty two
Speaker 3: percent so they would like to spare their kids the
Speaker 3: toxicity of acts formerly known as Twitter, and fifty six
Speaker 3: percent wish that Instagram didn't exist. Most notably, seventy two
Speaker 3: percent of parents either agree or strongly agree that they
Speaker 3: wish adult online content was not out there porn. Fifty
Speaker 3: five percent agree or strongly somewhat agree they wish that
Speaker 3: social media was not a thing at all. Forty four
Speaker 3: percent say that for messaging apps smartphones generally speaking, thirty
Speaker 3: eight percent of parents wish they didn't exist, video games
Speaker 3: thirty two percent, the internet generally twenty eight percent, streaming
Speaker 3: services twenty one percent, and TV seventeen percent wish it
Speaker 3: didn't exist, wish it had never been involved in their
Speaker 3: children's upbringing. And it's interesting to note, and I know
Speaker 3: it's how difficult it is to be a parent. I'm
Speaker 3: a parent, thankfully. Minor adults now that it's tough to
Speaker 3: say no. But all of this is within the grasp
Speaker 3: of a parent to say no. Now, you can go
Speaker 3: to the next door neighbor's house and they may not
Speaker 3: care about your access to adult online content. But within
Speaker 3: the confines of your own home, there are ways to
Speaker 3: prevent your children from accessing it. So it's just I
Speaker 3: understand parents don't want to be the hammer. That's when
Speaker 3: the state sometimes has to come in. We've seen the
Speaker 3: efforts and the successful in the Supreme Court Texas's effort
Speaker 3: to ban access to adult online content without age verification.
Speaker 3: Age verification is a thing now in Texas. That's the
Speaker 3: state stepping in and endeavoring to do what parents either
Speaker 3: can't or won't do for their kids. And it's come
Speaker 3: to the state of Ohio. I students will soon not
Speaker 3: have access to their cell phones during the school day.
Speaker 3: State lawmakers prohibited them under most circumstances in the final
Speaker 3: state budget, which Governor Wine designed the other day. Each school, district,
Speaker 3: community school, and STEM school must adopt a policy prohibiting
Speaker 3: students' use of cell phones during the instructional day, with
Speaker 3: some exceptions. Policy must be adopted by January first of
Speaker 3: next year. The Wine called this a vital step in
Speaker 3: protecting our children and helping them focus and learn in
Speaker 3: the school year. Apparently, the definition of instructional day subject
Speaker 3: to some interpretation. Senator James Timkins said it's the time
Speaker 3: between the first bell in the morning and the final
Speaker 3: bell at the end of the day, noting that we'll
Speaker 3: probably find that some of the school districts have different
Speaker 3: views on what the instructional day means. But the idea
Speaker 3: is to not have it during the school day. Isn't
Speaker 3: it interesting that it's already a question mark about what
Speaker 3: instructional day means, maybe intentionally vague to provide school district
Speaker 3: some lateral movement in that I don't know. Each public
Speaker 3: school must also include in its comprehensive emergency management plan
Speaker 3: a protocol that addresses students' use of cell phones during
Speaker 3: an active threat or emergency. Obviously that's one of the concerns. Well,
Speaker 3: wait a second. You know we reach out and like
Speaker 3: alert people to active shooter situations and lockdowns via text.
Speaker 3: That the kids don't have their cell phones, that don't
Speaker 3: have access to them, how they're going to get it? Now?
Speaker 3: The plan has to address that and getting ahead of it.
Speaker 3: And here's the point, as noted by the enquire BB
Speaker 3: Hodges and others reporting by implementing a statewide band, lawmakers,
Speaker 3: rather than teachers or parents become the bad guys limiting
Speaker 3: access to cell phones. Jaye Timpkins said she's fine with that.
Speaker 3: We can't police everybody, but at least it gives these
Speaker 3: kids a chance to put their phones away and actually
Speaker 3: listen to their teacher and interact in the classroom. She noted. Yeah,
Speaker 3: apparently some schools have already done this, since our Country
Speaker 3: Day School in Indian Hill enforce all day cell phone
Speaker 3: ban during the twenty twenty three twenty four school year.
Speaker 3: I wonder if the children benefited from it. Princeton City
Speaker 3: Schools and implemented policies and procedures that aligned with the
Speaker 3: Lost booksmversus the district said and will make any necessary
Speaker 3: adjustments as needed, but they already have a policy in
Speaker 3: place which they say is well complies with what was
Speaker 3: just signed into law by Governor to Wine. Now, I
Speaker 3: think personally this is a good idea. I mean, I'm
Speaker 3: not all about raw laws and rules and bands, and
Speaker 3: I know there's some concerns from parents and others about
Speaker 3: how are we going to get to our kids, what
Speaker 3: if there's an emergency, what if there's a health issue. Well,
Speaker 3: the bill apparently does include a provision for allowing students
Speaker 3: to use their cell phones for student learning, that's one thing,
Speaker 3: quote unquote student learning, or to monitor or address a
Speaker 3: health concern if the student has a written statement from
Speaker 3: their physician. So there's a lot of carve outs in
Speaker 3: a lot of ways that schools will be to implement
Speaker 3: policies which may be address the concerns of parents. But overall,
Speaker 3: going back to what parents want in that survey, they
Speaker 3: wish that stuff just didn't exist at all. Twenty four
Speaker 3: hours a day, seven days a week. We just wish
Speaker 3: it evaporated from the what's available for use for our children,
Speaker 3: which suggests that if parents are you know, when they're
Speaker 3: asked they could do without the cell phone connections. I mean,
Speaker 3: if they're asking and wishing and desiring that they were
Speaker 3: outright banned or didn't exist, then that means they would
Speaker 3: be in a situation where they'd have to cope without
Speaker 3: being able to reach their children at any moment in time.
Speaker 3: I just I can't reconcile the two positions. I mean,
Speaker 3: at least among the parents who are claiming that these
Speaker 3: school cell phone bands are going to present a problem
Speaker 3: for them, but overall, the fewer hours children have access
Speaker 3: to these devices, I think the better for them. Generally speaking,
Speaker 3: they are a diversion. They do take away from learning time.
Speaker 3: They're a major distraction and a major creator of anxiety
Speaker 3: among our young people. How many psychological problems are young
Speaker 3: people having these days that are driven And you can
Speaker 3: conclude this without being a psychiatrist or a psychologist driven
Speaker 3: by social media the twenty four to seven proposition and
Speaker 3: no wonder our children are so psychologically well struggling. But
Speaker 3: draw your own conclusions. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 3: I mean, feel free to give me a call that agree, disagree.
Speaker 3: I think it's a good idea, bad idea. It is
Speaker 3: the law now in the state of Ohio. Put the
Speaker 3: phones down five fifteen fifty five K see the talk
Speaker 3: station five one thirty seven four nine fifty five hundred,
Speaker 3: eight hundred eight two three talk about five fifty on
Speaker 3: AT and T phones. Go right back after these brief
Speaker 3: courts fifty five car the talk station five eighteen On
Speaker 3: a Wednesday, Happy Wednesday to you, but you buy parsee
Speaker 3: dot comedy can't listen live We get the inside Scoop
Speaker 3: with Bradley j. Yesterday we talked about the Big Beautiful
Speaker 3: Billy Vaked Ramaswami for Ohio governor. He was on the
Speaker 3: program yesterday. I love that guy, and of course of
Speaker 3: Daniel Davis deep dive. Not looking good for Ukraine right now,
Speaker 3: massive troop deployment by the Russians, fifty thousand additional ones
Speaker 3: up in that that capital city. They have the three
Speaker 3: to one ratio of Russian soldiers to Ukrainian soldiers. Obviously
Speaker 3: he was talking about they were considering expanding the draft
Speaker 3: in Ukraine, include eighteen year old, A lot of people
Speaker 3: fleeing the country to avoid that possibility. And there's just
Speaker 3: it's it's just it's all bad news. I don't know
Speaker 3: what your position is for Ukraine. You got to be
Speaker 3: practical in a realist things aren't looking good and doubling
Speaker 3: down on that. US has stopped the delivery of air
Speaker 3: defense interceptors and other weapons inten for Ukraine because the
Speaker 3: Pentagon needs them to beef up our own stocks. Hmm.
Speaker 3: US moved with old arms deliveries ear mark for Ukraine
Speaker 3: reflects the Trump administration's slackening commitment to aiding Kiev and
Speaker 3: its defense against Russia, reports The Wall Street Journal. Apparently,
Speaker 3: officials of stress the need to focus more on longer
Speaker 3: term threats from China and more immediately military needs in
Speaker 3: the Middle East. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly Quota is
Speaker 3: saying this decision was made to put America's interests first.
Speaker 3: That after a Pentagon review of military assistants US military
Speaker 3: systems ships, the shipments of these weapons are already in
Speaker 3: poland halted. Now included Patriot air defense interceptors, air to
Speaker 3: air missiles, hell fire, air to ground missiles, and surface
Speaker 3: to surface rockets, artillery rounds and stingers surface to air missiles.
Speaker 3: All of them are going to be redistributed by the
Speaker 3: Pentagon to areas that we need them more than in Ukraine. Again,
Speaker 3: you have to view the situation whether the cause is
Speaker 3: worthy or not. The needs are well unlimited, the demand
Speaker 3: is unlimited, and some suggesting, and I think Daniel Davis
Speaker 3: was one of them. One of the reasons Israel got
Speaker 3: into the that ceasefire agreement with Iran is because well,
Speaker 3: it ran out of the ability to shoot down Iranian rockets,
Speaker 3: and Iran still has a whole bunch of them. So
Speaker 3: when you don't have the defenses there, it might be
Speaker 3: good to call it call it a ceasefire for a
Speaker 3: while no military strategist I but now Ukraine has previously
Speaker 3: praised the fact that Patriot system has been able to
Speaker 3: it has defended the country from these Russian ballistic missiles,
Speaker 3: and of course they have been appealing for more of them.
Speaker 3: This is an obvious response to that, Well, no, we're
Speaker 3: not going to provide them. And it's the second time
Speaker 3: the Trump administration has redirected weapons that were intended to Ukraine.
Speaker 3: Last month was reported Pentagon quietly notified Congress that special
Speaker 3: fuses for rockets Ukraine used to shoot down Russian drones
Speaker 3: were being allocated at US Air Force units in the
Speaker 3: Middle East. Our people needed them. That's all those military
Speaker 3: bases that are in the area that we're under within
Speaker 3: range of the Iranian rockets that some were so concerned
Speaker 3: about after we dropped the bombs on the nuke facilities
Speaker 3: that they will be bombed by the Iranians, one of
Speaker 3: which they intempted to do, but because we had missile
Speaker 3: defense systems on the ground, they were shot down. So
Speaker 3: a lot of reporting on that was young people. You know,
Speaker 3: twenty five years old was the oldest person at the
Speaker 3: base that was there to protect the base and operate
Speaker 3: these missile systems. So he had twenty year olds at
Speaker 3: twenty five year olds defending the base and successfully doing it.
Speaker 3: That's a great story out of that one. But we
Speaker 3: need them, that's the point only. So if there's a
Speaker 3: fine item out of hardware out there, obviously, so you
Speaker 3: decide whether it's in the US's best interest to send
Speaker 3: them to the least and protect our guys, or let
Speaker 3: the Ukrainians have them. And in essence, I suppose one
Speaker 3: may argue squander them since they're losing this battle, it
Speaker 3: looks like a foregone conclusion that it's just it's pretty
Speaker 3: much over. That's my conclusion anyway. Now, the Trump administration
Speaker 3: inherited the authority to send Ukraine as much as three
Speaker 3: point eighty five billion in weapons from the Pentagon stocks
Speaker 3: the weapons, but it's held back doing so. Also hasn't
Speaker 3: asked Congress for more funding for a separate program to
Speaker 3: fund the Ukrainian military called the Ukraine's Security Assistance Initiative,
Speaker 3: under which money is appropriated so Kiev can buy weapons
Speaker 3: from US defense contractors military industrial complex. And I don't
Speaker 3: know why the Democrats are operating under some delusion that
Speaker 3: Ukraine might be able to win this war. Jeine Shaheen,
Speaker 3: quoted as the Pentagon is significantly weakening Ukraine's defense against
Speaker 3: aerial attacks, even as Russia pounds Ukrainian cities night after
Speaker 3: night with numerous civilian dead and wounded. In fact, maybe yeah,
Speaker 3: But as I mentioned it, Daniel Davis, I mean, you
Speaker 3: effectively have to have persons in this case, mostly men
Speaker 3: behind the trigger to operate the weapons, regardless of the
Speaker 3: weapons systems, and they're running out of people to do that.
Speaker 3: You can pile all the weapons you want on top
Speaker 3: of them, but if they don't know the people to
Speaker 3: operate them effectively use them that are trained to use them,
Speaker 3: what good is it going to do? And if it
Speaker 3: puts Our soldiers at risk because they need the weapons
Speaker 3: system to protect themselves from a greater threat, a threat
Speaker 3: directly on Americans as opposed to the Ukrainian people with
Speaker 3: whom we have no defense author or agreement or treaty,
Speaker 3: I think that's the right decision being made there. Do
Speaker 3: we protect the US interest or do we protect the
Speaker 3: interest of a country that I guess we're with on
Speaker 3: some level. Lots of questions swirling about that too, But again,
Speaker 3: no defense agreement they're not part of NATO. They just
Speaker 3: exist as an independent country, and we have thus far
Speaker 3: been providing them with weapons systems to defend themselves against
Speaker 3: the evil pesky Russians. How many other hands want to
Speaker 3: be in our American cookie jar? How many more demands
Speaker 3: are there out there for our finite apparently military resources.
Speaker 3: Tough calls have to be made, and I'm not necessarily
Speaker 3: happy about it, but I think in this particular case,
Speaker 3: the right call was made our interests over those of
Speaker 3: other countries. Generally speaking, let us see here coming up
Speaker 3: on local stories. Love hearing from you. If you've got
Speaker 3: something to say, please feel free to give me a call.
Speaker 3: Got more on the highest state budget and we'll be
Speaker 3: talking about that again with Donovan and Neil. Americans were prosperity,
Speaker 3: including the budget vetos on the well effort to pair
Speaker 3: back our property taxes. I feel a little disappointed with
Speaker 3: what Mike Dewyne did along those lines. Don't go away.
Speaker 3: I'd be right back. Fifty five KRC dot com. Here

Speaker 3: We will forget the local stories. Oh love Tom's on
Speaker 3: the phone. Welcome back Tom. Always good to hear from you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first time calling a long time listener night,
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 3: Your show, got your own tagline? Man, don't give me
Speaker 3: that best?
Speaker 2: What are all the cliches? And I listen to some
Speaker 2: of the shows, and you know these.
Speaker 5: Callers, they gotta get through all these You gotta gotta
Speaker 5: get these call screeners. And then they get all them,
Speaker 5: and they spend the first seventy percent of their call like, oh,
Speaker 5: you guys are their best. I love you guys, Like
Speaker 5: just get to your point. I just get to it
Speaker 5: right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And is someone screaming at the radio going right now, Tom,
Speaker 3: You're doing exactly what you're criticized.
Speaker 2: That was the whole point of the joke. I got it.
Speaker 3: So you're off Friday, right, Yes, sir.
Speaker 5: If you need if you don't have a stub, let
Speaker 5: me know. Okay, I'll be bored happy to jump in there.
Speaker 2: Fairy, you are absolutely correct. Uh.
Speaker 5: The administration is making the right decision to put our
Speaker 5: interest first. This is what that looks like. And that
Speaker 5: means somebody's gonna have to suffer, somebody's not getting something
Speaker 5: they want, and we're just gonna have to deal with that.
Speaker 5: And just so you know, always at all times when
Speaker 5: decisions are made, somebody doesn't get what they want. It's
Speaker 5: just a matter of who that is and who's screaming
Speaker 5: and crying about it. And as we know, for the
Speaker 5: last couple of years, it's been all about Ukraine, Ukraine, this,
Speaker 5: Ukraine that, And I don't wish any ill on the
Speaker 5: people of Ukraine, but we have our own interests to
Speaker 5: take care of first, and that we have to make
Speaker 5: sure we do that. And it's obvious that the Democrats
Speaker 5: want to put the America's interests last. They want everything
Speaker 5: else to be first. So that's why we got to
Speaker 5: make sure we don't know Democrat.
Speaker 3: Have a great day, bright you too, Tom, appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Who is next, Joe Strucker or Bobby Jay? Hang on
Speaker 3: your next, Bobby, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Wednesday,
Speaker 3: Happy Tuesday, My brother Tuesday Wednesday. Oh, I got to
Speaker 3: hit the dump button, Bobby. You can't curse on the
Speaker 3: Morning Show. You should know that by now we had
Speaker 3: to use the dump button on you. All right, Hey,
Speaker 3: you want to start over since we lost all the
Speaker 3: time with your phone call with the dump button delay,
Speaker 3: So start over and don't use any profanities please.
Speaker 6: Okay, we'll start over again. The Ukraine, we've talked about
Speaker 6: it for two years. They cannot succeed the War of
Speaker 6: Patrician number one yep, and we have two hundred and
Speaker 6: seventy thousand Ukrainians in this country. We get temporary status too.
Speaker 6: Why are they still here.
Speaker 3: War torn region? I think it makes them eligible for
Speaker 3: temporary protection status.
Speaker 7: Well, they need to go back to the Ukraine and
Speaker 7: fight for their country.
Speaker 3: Well, one can make that argument. It's a question of patriotism.
Speaker 3: But if you're going to look at what qualifies someone
Speaker 3: for TPS. I do believe war in the country is
Speaker 3: a justification and allows you to meet qualifications to have
Speaker 3: temporary protected status.
Speaker 6: Whatever happened to the one that testified against our president
Speaker 6: this first term.
Speaker 3: The one what do you current? The one?
Speaker 7: What the current? What was it? The cardinal from Ukraine
Speaker 7: and he was at our.
Speaker 8: Military that he was going to go fight for Ukraine.
Speaker 7: Haven't heard a word about you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, lost in the ether from ebody. I can't remember
Speaker 3: anything about the story generally speaking, So the fact that
Speaker 3: no one followed up on it isn't shocking. How many
Speaker 3: stories fall off the wayside that we kind of expect
Speaker 3: to follow up on. It's the flavor of the moment
Speaker 3: that particular day. It's the clickbait that everybody's clicking on,
Speaker 3: and then five minutes later, no one even remembers what
Speaker 3: the event was that they were so excited about that
Speaker 3: particular moment. Welcome to the age of the Internet, Bobby,
Speaker 3: appreciate the call. Thank you for illustrating the importance of
Speaker 3: minding FEC compliance as well. Jay, Welcome to the Morning Show.
Speaker 3: Happy Wednesday to you.
Speaker 7: Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Brian.
Speaker 9: Hey, you know I've been hearing about this Senate parliamentarian
Speaker 9: that was telling the Republican Party and Johnthone and everybody
Speaker 9: else what you can do and what you can't do
Speaker 9: with the the legislation, the big beautiful bill that they
Speaker 9: were passing. And you had mentioned about a bureaucrat.
Speaker 7: So I looked it up.
Speaker 10: To say, yeah, who is this, what is this? What
Speaker 10: is the Senate parliamentarian?
Speaker 9: And found that this is a lady who was who
Speaker 9: was put into this position, very powerful, powerful position by
Speaker 9: Harry Reid, I think during your Bamba administration. Now, if
Speaker 9: this isn't a sign that it is a dog on
Speaker 9: you in a party, I don't know.
Speaker 3: What is that?
Speaker 9: After how many Republican administrations a Trump administer, first Trump administration,
Speaker 9: a second Trump administration, and we're having.
Speaker 11: A communist appointed.
Speaker 9: Person telling the Republican Party what they can and cannot
Speaker 9: include in legislation, completely unelected.
Speaker 7: Appointed by Harry Reid.
Speaker 9: And I'm to believe that the Republican Party is just
Speaker 9: so dumb and just not unaware that they wouldn't get
Speaker 9: rid of this thirty or bureaucrat and get your own position.
Speaker 9: Or are we to believe that she is just as
Speaker 9: objective and pure as driven snow kind of like our
Speaker 9: Supreme Court justices like maybe soda mayor that level of objectivity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we all can.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And that's you know, the whole the whole thing swirling
Speaker 3: around medicaid and whether immigrants, illegal immigrants otherwise are eligible
Speaker 3: for Medicaid or not. It's a it's very confusing and
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't even know. That's why we
Speaker 3: had to hear from at least a couple of politicians,
Speaker 3: most notably Senator Eric Schmid the other day, trying to
Speaker 3: set the record straight on whether or not the BBB
Speaker 3: cuts Medicaid for the one point four million illegal aliens.
Speaker 3: The The provision that was struck by the Parliamentarian was
Speaker 3: the sort of penalty provision because the federal government does
Speaker 3: not authorize or justify illegal immigrants under medicaid, so states
Speaker 3: are free to expand their Medicaid roles to pay for
Speaker 3: them themselves, like California did, which put them in a
Speaker 3: big budget problem. The provision that was struck was a
Speaker 3: ten percent reduction in payments and reimbursements for eligible Medicaid
Speaker 3: That was a design to penalize states who expanded the
Speaker 3: roles to include illegal immigrants. So if you expanded you
Speaker 3: covered illegal immigrants, we're going to cut your medicaid reimbursement
Speaker 3: by ten percent. That's what got cut by the parliamentarian
Speaker 3: at least as I currently understand it. Very confusing Jay,
Speaker 3: and so much so that there was an article by
Speaker 3: John Sexton over it. I believe it was town Hall.
Speaker 3: He concluded his whole analysis of this. So, as I
Speaker 3: set up atop, it's actually difficult to figure out what
Speaker 3: is happening here well, the new eligibility requirement force cuts
Speaker 3: and if so, how will it work. I'm sure someone
Speaker 3: is going to write a story explaining what the remaining
Speaker 3: section the bill does, but so far I'm not seeing it.
Speaker 3: I'll try to update this today or tomorrow once it's
Speaker 3: been made more clear.
Speaker 9: So well as difficult as that is to understand, what
Speaker 9: I do understand is Harry Reid and a Barack Obama
Speaker 9: put her into power, and Republicans haven't rooted her out,
Speaker 9: So get rid of her and let's get our own
Speaker 9: people in her instead of having hangover from the Obama
Speaker 9: administration appointed by Harry Reid for crying out loud, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to look into what the rules are
Speaker 3: regarding how the appointment is made and how long that
Speaker 3: person sits in that particular position. Because I agree with
Speaker 3: you completely, I mean, the whole process for me is
Speaker 3: well beyond my understanding. I will purpose be playing to admit,
Speaker 3: or I'd answer the question and make some argument and
Speaker 3: support of what you're saying. But obviously, I think I
Speaker 3: would think that if they were able to replace the
Speaker 3: Senate parliamentarian with someone who's more aligned with conservative values
Speaker 3: Republican principles, that they would have done it. So what's
Speaker 3: stopping them from doing exactly what you're suggesting? He asked
Speaker 3: out loud.
Speaker 4: Kevin, you're next.
Speaker 3: You don't mind hold in just a moment, Gonna be
Speaker 3: right back after these brief words. The talk station by
Speaker 3: forty if if I have ksee the talk station Happy Wednesday?
Speaker 3: It stacker stupid coming up after we talked to Kevin.
Speaker 3: Who's kind enough to hold over the break there? Kevin,
Speaker 3: Welcome to the morning Show. Good to hear from me
Speaker 3: this morning.
Speaker 8: Good morning, Brian, Happy Thursday Thursday?
Speaker 3: Eve fair enough?
Speaker 8: Had I had to just toss in a comment regarding
Speaker 8: Bobby's non FCC compliant current.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that caught me off I appreciate that.
Speaker 8: But but yeah, Actually, the other reason I was gonna
Speaker 8: uh if I could get your comments regarding Massy and
Speaker 8: uh fran Paul just not sure where they're at, not
Speaker 8: sure where their brains are at these days.
Speaker 3: Well they're sticking with their off stated principles. Is I mean,
Speaker 3: I always defend Massy on that. I know how he's
Speaker 3: going to vote on any piece of legislation before he
Speaker 3: even votes on it, because he is always lockstep consistent
Speaker 3: with his views of the Constitution, and he sees we
Speaker 3: are on a spending trajectory that is literally unsustainable. Just
Speaker 3: one and again another article today about social security crisis
Speaker 3: is coming and it is coming very very fast. Why
Speaker 3: don't we fix that. We got a spending problem in
Speaker 3: the country. We spend too much on the American military.
Speaker 3: As much as I love the American military, you can't
Speaker 3: pass the blanket audit. And here we are giving them
Speaker 3: additional almost with two hundred billion dollars or something like that.
Speaker 3: There's a multitude of reasons why he's angry Senator ran Paul.
Speaker 3: The debt sealing, increasing it five trillion dollars. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's just the waving a red flag around saying we're
Speaker 3: going to increase the debt five trillion dollars beyond where
Speaker 3: it is now. We're already at one hundred percent a
Speaker 3: debt service or what is it, a trillion dollars annual
Speaker 3: debt service on that that's only going to get worse.
Speaker 3: I'm not voting for that.
Speaker 8: I mean another bank, another blank check.
Speaker 3: Yeah, being boiled down. They're just expressed. Somebody's got to,
Speaker 3: you know, at least by them speaking and drawing attention
Speaker 3: to their arguments, it elevates it to a level of discussion.
Speaker 3: If you didn't have them out there, and everybody capitulated
Speaker 3: and caved around the corners and like, all right, I'm
Speaker 3: wanting to sacrifice my principles this time because it's so
Speaker 3: important we get this thing through. I understand those arguments
Speaker 3: and reasons. Hell some of them did that in the
Speaker 3: Senate just the other day. But because they are so outspoken,
Speaker 3: because they are you know, the chink and the armor
Speaker 3: or the speed bump in the system, at least their
Speaker 3: arguments get advanced and you have to address them. Five
Speaker 3: trillion dollars, I said it rampulse on his hands of
Speaker 3: five trillion dollars. Why does it have to be so much?
Speaker 3: If you just pair that back, I'll be a yes
Speaker 3: on it. That's his one concern. You know, there's no
Speaker 3: no opportunity to put the brakes on once you raise
Speaker 3: it that much. Just open the floodgates.
Speaker 8: Thirteen hours, they read that it was a beautiful bill
Speaker 8: for thirteen hours.
Speaker 3: It was sick. Actually, Kevin, actually was sixteen hours.
Speaker 8: Sixteen hours. Let's say, yeah, yep.
Speaker 3: Well as your bottom line boiled down answer, at least
Speaker 3: from my standpoint, We'll have congress from Assy back on
Speaker 3: the program to talk about his specific reasons and which
Speaker 3: he's made known in the morning show in the past
Speaker 3: and he will do again in the future. Appreciate the call, Kevin.
Speaker 3: Let's see here over to the stack is stupid, ut up,
Speaker 3: up up. I'm trying to figureut where we are here.
Speaker 3: The co typ Kotati Police Department officers that they found
Speaker 3: more than seventy empty bud light can searching a dy
Speaker 3: suspects suv over the weekend driver struggling to stay in
Speaker 3: one lane when he was stopped. During the stop. Officers
Speaker 3: note an open beer can in the SUV's cup holder field.
Speaker 3: Sobriety tests lugily showed the man was driving in the
Speaker 3: blood alcohol content a point twenty five, more than three
Speaker 3: times the legal limit, ar wrestler for duy and driving
Speaker 3: with a suspended license, license suspended from a prior DUI.
Speaker 3: According to the Police Department, A courting the CPD of
Speaker 3: the statement. Once the driver was arrested, search of the
Speaker 3: inside of his car was completed in over seventy empty
Speaker 3: beer cans were located. We want to remind everyone that
Speaker 3: drinking and driving is not worth it. The outcome could
Speaker 3: have been much worse at our officers not stop the driver.
Speaker 3: I hope that's not from one single binge guy just
Speaker 3: doesn't his car out very regularly. See here We got
Speaker 3: to Saginaw, Michigan, where Michigan State Police released new information
Speaker 3: about a suspect who was killed after holding an employee
Speaker 3: hostage at a bank Friday. State police said thirty one
Speaker 3: year old Clinton Marksy Allen took a mercantile back employee
Speaker 3: hostage in Saginaw. Allen did not have a gun, but
Speaker 3: he did have a weapon, according the state Police, Lieutenant
Speaker 3: Kim Vetter, speaking with news, she did not specifically say
Speaker 3: what the weapon was, but during the hostage situation. Vetter
Speaker 3: said a drone was used to lower a twenty four
Speaker 3: ounce Red Fago soda in a bag to mister Allen.
Speaker 3: When Allen exposed himself to grab the FAGA, law enforcement
Speaker 3: could see him through the buildings. Class State Police set
Speaker 3: A trooper then shot and killed Allan. He never was
Speaker 3: able to grab the bag, according to the state Police.
Speaker 3: After he was shot, State police said the hostage came
Speaker 3: out of the bank for help, victim injured and take
Speaker 3: them to local hospital for treatment. Please still investigating Allen's motive.
Speaker 3: I guess they figured out somewhere along the line that
Speaker 3: he wanted a red Fagoh that's actually pretty dang funny.
Speaker 3: Let's see here. Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning. Maybe not funny,
Speaker 3: but also just a great operation coming up on eighty
Speaker 3: years family ownership and operation. Three generations of Zimmer family.
Speaker 3: Currently Chris Zimmer at the Helm and they do wonderful

Speaker 3: Zimmer who represent the company that invented air conditioning. That's carrier.
Speaker 3: They make a wonderful system and a savings of fifteen
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars. So take advantage and take a
Speaker 3: little sting out of the idea that you got to
Speaker 3: replace your system. Sorry sucks to you. That's what home

Speaker 8: That's just right down the street.
Speaker 7: Brian, you know I'll be.
Speaker 3: There wandering monsters. Have you been there before?
Speaker 11: I have not, but uh I hear a lot of
Speaker 11: good things about it.
Speaker 3: Great that's what I've been hearing as well. So, uh,
Speaker 3: what's what's uh, what's going on this morning? Mike.
Speaker 11: So I was sitting in my office yesterday and it
Speaker 11: caught my ear when I hear this uh anti Congressman
Speaker 11: Massy commercial and this from my Life TV. I was
Speaker 11: able to rewind it and I and I sent you
Speaker 11: a copy of the audio.
Speaker 10: But I don't know if you've seen it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen it, Okay, I regularly admit and I
Speaker 3: always feel embarrassed to regularly admit it. But it's my
Speaker 3: wind down hour, the seven to eight o'clock hours when
Speaker 3: I sit down right and and mindlessly watched Wheel of
Speaker 3: Fortune and the Jeopardy and they ran that spot. I
Speaker 3: must have been three times during that hour.
Speaker 11: So, and like you just said, this is who Tom
Speaker 11: Massey is. That there is no different there. So the
Speaker 11: fact and everything that he's gone through his life here,
Speaker 11: especially personally, I don't I don't think he's losing any
Speaker 11: sleep over it, and it calls me that's going to
Speaker 11: be besides it, there's gonna be more people besides Warren
Speaker 11: Davidson and Tom Massey. They're going to object with the
Speaker 11: Senate just passed back to the house. You know, we're
Speaker 11: all tired of hearing the same tune. Well, we need
Speaker 11: to get this one through and we'll worry about the
Speaker 11: deficit later. No, because here we are again, and as
Speaker 11: you said, he's bringing up the discussion point putting the
Speaker 11: first and forefront because it is huge monsters waiting to
Speaker 11: You know, it's not a wandering monster either.
Speaker 10: It's right there.
Speaker 3: Thirty seven trillion dollars it is, and growing every single day.
Speaker 3: But well, that's why we've got commersoms around. And I
Speaker 3: appreciate my friends in the Commonwealth for continuing to re
Speaker 3: elect them in the face of challenges. So we'll see
Speaker 3: if if this one has any legs, Mike, this challenge
Speaker 3: has any legs, I tend to doubt it. If I
Speaker 3: was going to put my money on something, I put
Speaker 3: my money on Massy. Great to hear from you, Mike.
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call over to the stack is stupid.
Speaker 7: M m.
Speaker 3: Maryland woman violently attacked recently after she honked at another
Speaker 3: car that had suddenly stopped. Jillian Canner said she just
Speaker 3: finished a twelve hour shift as a nurse at the hospital,
Speaker 3: leaving work. Said when she had to honk at a
Speaker 3: car for stopping in the middle of the road in Rosdell, Maryland. Now,
Speaker 3: she's recovering from injuries and is sort of in a
Speaker 3: state of difficult disbelief over what happened. Speaking with local
Speaker 3: news there, HELI completely stopped, so I honked and got
Speaker 3: into the other lane and just drove off. Then I
Speaker 3: see him in my rear view of mirror, speeding all
Speaker 3: the way to catch up to me. That's when he
Speaker 3: got out of the car and started screaming at me.
Speaker 3: I pulled the window up, trying to ignore him, tried
Speaker 3: to be an adult about it. He kicked out my
Speaker 3: back window and he just started screaming, why are you honking?
Speaker 3: I have kids in the car, said, After hearing the
Speaker 3: commotion of the glass breaking, she got out of the
Speaker 3: car to see what happened. She told the driver she
Speaker 3: was calling nine one one, She said. The man then
Speaker 3: threw her phone and glasses to the ground and started
Speaker 3: throwing punches, saying, he punched me in the face when
Speaker 3: I tried to call the police. Doctors initially worried the
Speaker 3: punches might have torn her left corneump, but she just
Speaker 3: got black eye and several broken blood vessels. Tried to
Speaker 3: stop him from leaving by standing in front of his car.
Speaker 3: She fell down. That's when witnesses, including a paramedic, stop
Speaker 3: to help her. To the police with a license plate number.
Speaker 3: Candaer said, the subject landed several punches and drove off laughing.
Speaker 3: So far, police have not yet made an arrest just
Speaker 3: Away man Okay one more go to Miami, Florida. Valet
Speaker 3: attendant for a high rise apartment building in Miami's Brickelnecker
Speaker 3: neighborhood arrested after he took off in a residence vehicle.
Speaker 3: Court to the rest report from the Miami Police Incident
Speaker 3: Kurt at about three am, victim told officers she dropped off.
Speaker 3: He dropped off his car with a valet attendant identified
Speaker 3: as Augusto Cesar san Diego Trows, twenty three years old,
Speaker 3: in Miami outside of the apartment building. Instead of going
Speaker 3: up to his apartment. Up to his apartment, he walked
Speaker 3: down to the street to the smoke shop to pick
Speaker 3: up some smokes. He was leaving the store saw san
Speaker 3: die San Dio Troz speeding away excessively in his vehicle,
Speaker 3: nearly hitting the building at one point. Police said the
Speaker 3: victim of Tames. Surveillance video capturing his actions courted the
Speaker 3: rest report. The valet attend and it admitted to something,
Speaker 3: although his exact statement was redacted from the publicly released report.
Speaker 3: Arrested charged with grand theft of motor vehicle being held
Speaker 3: at the Turner Guildford Night Correction Center. So kind of
Speaker 3: reminding of Ferris Mueller's day off five five fifty five
Speaker 3: kr SE the talk station plenty to talk about in
Speaker 3: the six o'clock hour. Feel free to direct the steer
Speaker 3: the direction of the conversation as I'd like to point
Speaker 3: out by giving me a call. I'll be right back
Speaker 3: after the news will be called the twelve Day War.
Speaker 3: I suppose that's what we were nicknaming it already.
Speaker 12: Another update at the top of the hour the use
Speaker 12: of military course.
Speaker 3: Fifty five R see the talk station in the podcast
Speaker 3: The United Play and Buck. Here is where we are
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 13: We are rocking plenty, Travis and Buck Sexton kicking ass.
Speaker 3: And taking Nate today at noon on fifty five krs
Speaker 3: Teddy six or six Here I fifty about kr CD
Speaker 3: talk station and have d Wensday inviting phone calls. I
Speaker 3: am as I always do. Five one three, seven, four
Speaker 3: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two
Speaker 3: three talk or hit pound five fifty if you have
Speaker 3: an AT and T funk, get you right on into
Speaker 3: Joe's trek, or put you on the on the caller screen.
Speaker 3: Coming up seven thirty with Donovomino Americans for Prosperity. They're
Speaker 3: urging lawmakers to override Dewines vetos, some of which relate
Speaker 3: to property tax. We get a chance to talk about
Speaker 3: that yet, but we can. But they did try to
Speaker 3: give us some measure of relief, and DeWine struck those
Speaker 3: provisions in his line item veto, So we'll hear what
Speaker 3: he has to say about that or what other vetos
Speaker 3: that Dwine had. There were sixty seven of them. AFP
Speaker 3: wants to have overturned. So it's an opportunity to overturn
Speaker 3: the vetos. Big Beautiful Bill also comment on that that
Speaker 3: up coming up at seven thirty, followed by Steve Belzo
Speaker 3: from the Claremont County Veteran Services has some great information
Speaker 3: to pass on to my veteran friends, and again salute
Speaker 3: to the various veteran services out there, including Clairemont County
Speaker 3: of course, for the great work they do for our
Speaker 3: local veterans. State Senator George Langab talking about ohighest budget
Speaker 3: at eight five, looking forward to having Senator lying on
Speaker 3: the program, and of course it being Wednesday, we'll hear
Speaker 3: from Judge Anena Politano, Independent State, twenty twenty five. Question,
Speaker 3: are you freer now than the the folks were in
Speaker 3: the colonies under King George? Good question and not quit, sir?
Speaker 3: Which direction to go? There's still all this this swirling
Speaker 3: question marks about illegal aliens on Medicaid. And one of
Speaker 3: the problems was is the Senate Parliamentarian, as we were
Speaker 3: bringing up in the last hour, struck various provisions from
Speaker 3: the big beautiful bill because apparently they didn't pass the
Speaker 3: bird test that you know, the bird bath that they
Speaker 3: go through named after Senator Robert Byrd. This is again reconciliation.
Speaker 3: Senators typically prohibited from using a reconciliation bill to advanced
Speaker 3: provisions that are related to spending or taxes. Now, it
Speaker 3: seems to me medicaid spending in the level of reimbursement,
Speaker 3: because in any particular state is a spending related matter.
Speaker 3: But it was Listen, the Senate Parliamentarian said it was
Speaker 3: an instructive for vision. Out question is, are are we
Speaker 3: providing illegal medicaid illegal immigrants? Senator Eric Schmidt's trying to
Speaker 3: set the record straight, and this is what he had
Speaker 3: to say, although it's still confusing, he post on x.
Speaker 3: He dismissed himbers, suggesting that the medicaid ban for illegal
Speaker 3: immigrants had been removed from the bill. I don't know
Speaker 3: that it was a ban. Reference page six oh two,
Speaker 3: section seventy seven one oh nine, saying, look right, there
Speaker 3: remains part of the legislation. You said, the big beautiful
Speaker 3: bill will remove medicaid coverage one point four illegal immigrants,
Speaker 3: explaining that a Monday Voterama there was an amendment to
Speaker 3: block medicaid for illegal immigrants and it was rejected. That
Speaker 3: video spread around online that led people to believe that
Speaker 3: the provision had been entirely removed for the bill. But
Speaker 3: he clarified that this is just one of several what
Speaker 3: they call messaging amendments to pressure Democrats into publicly exposing
Speaker 3: opposing specific measures. They're on record now being against a
Speaker 3: ban on medicaid funding for illegal immigrants convicted a serious crimes.
Speaker 3: So it sort of a subset of the broader illegal
Speaker 3: immigrant category, he said on his post on AX it
Speaker 3: was meant to show the public how radical they are.
Speaker 3: The ban itself was already in the bill, it was
Speaker 3: never taken out, and it wasn't just a ban on
Speaker 3: some medicaid for illegal immigrants with who commit heinous crimes.
Speaker 3: It applies to all medicaid for all illegal immigrants, highlighting
Speaker 3: the Senate version of the Big Beautiful Bill goes further
Speaker 3: than just cutting off Medicaid access to one point four
Speaker 3: million illegal immigrants. It does also mandate the state's verify
Speaker 3: an applicant citizenship before granting coverage. That's still in there,
Speaker 3: blocks automatic Medicaid rollment for children of illegal immigrants, and
Speaker 3: explicitly bars DACA recipients from receiving medicaid. Back pointed out
Speaker 3: that as of April twenty twenty five, Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: Provides government funded health care to individuals regardless of their
Speaker 3: immigration status. Additionally, seven states Colorado, California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Oregon,
Speaker 3: and Washington along with DC, do offer government health care
Speaker 3: to undocumented adults, but they shoulder the burden for that.
Speaker 3: I think the provision that was the Senate parliamentarian struck
Speaker 3: was a reduction in Medicaid reimbursement rates to those states
Speaker 3: that do embrace and pay for illegal immigrants, although again
Speaker 3: it's on the state dollar. The state funds that because
Speaker 3: they're not eligible under current law, apparently, But all this
Speaker 3: swirl around brings up all this question, who in the
Speaker 3: hell is the Senate parliamentarian and what right does she
Speaker 3: have to strike these various provisions. Elizabeth McDonagh's her name,
Speaker 3: been doing this for a dozen years, described as the
Speaker 3: Chambers referee, a non partisan enforcer of its rules and precedents,
Speaker 3: and what typically is a behind the scenes advisory role.
Speaker 3: A lot of Republicans came out and are very critical
Speaker 3: of the decisions striking these various provisions. Oklahoma Senator Mark
Speaker 3: Wayne Mullen to McDonald's rejection to some of the bill's provisions,
Speaker 3: most importantly one that would have forced states to shoulder
Speaker 3: more of the Medicaid funding burden. Scenes politically motivated Tommy
Speaker 3: two Reveal senator from Alabama claimed that she should be
Speaker 3: fired asap, while on the other hand, some GOP senators
Speaker 3: defended her decision, insisting that while they might disagree with
Speaker 3: some of her rulings, they would go ahead and abide
Speaker 3: by them rather than seeking a vote to overrule them,
Speaker 3: which was what Trump wanted to do. And you can
Speaker 3: vote to override the parliamentary's decision, and you can also
Speaker 3: replace her. From what I read this morning, it takes
Speaker 3: fifty one votes. So when I put a new person
Speaker 3: in there, that's maybe leans a little more politically to
Speaker 3: our side of the ledger rather than the other side.
Speaker 3: Senator Lindsay Graham said he had no intention of trying
Speaker 3: to overrule the parliamentarium. Missouri Senator Josh Hawley said he
Speaker 3: just can't imagine Republicans would have enough votes to do
Speaker 3: so in a chamber where they only hold fifty three
Speaker 3: steats seats, saying we're not going to throw the parliamentarian
Speaker 3: under the bus. That a stavement from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski,
Speaker 3: So don't you find it a little bit strange that
Speaker 3: the Republicans could put somebody else in that place? And
Speaker 3: that doesn't guarantee that the decisions wouldn't be the same
Speaker 3: relative to this bird rule that has to be applied.
Speaker 3: But they could vote to overrule the striking of those
Speaker 3: various provisions under the Bird rule, and they could vote
Speaker 3: to get her out of that particular role. They just
Speaker 3: don't do it. And this sort of makes you scratch
Speaker 3: your head.
Speaker 4: Well why not?
Speaker 3: Those are pretty important provisions consistent with Donald trum you know,
Speaker 3: messaging campaign promises and alike. Trump was on I commented
Speaker 3: on this this past Friday. The parliamentarian has been a
Speaker 3: little difficult, and I would say that I disagree with
Speaker 3: the parliamentarian on some of the things, and on other
Speaker 3: ways she's been fine, but we'll have to see not
Speaker 3: exactly a profoundly a profound statement in so far as
Speaker 3: directions to the Republican of what he wants them to do.
Speaker 3: Apparently I don't know. She was the first woman to
Speaker 3: serve as the parliamentarian and appointed by Democrats again, been
Speaker 3: in the role for a long time. So I'm scratching
Speaker 3: my head of the whole thing. And it is very
Speaker 3: confusing as to where we are on this Medicaid coverage.
Speaker 3: Apparently undocumented immingrants generally not eligible for federally funding Medicaid. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's then the rule. The Center bill aimed to reduce
Speaker 3: federal funding the states that use their own state funds
Speaker 3: to provide medicaid coverage on documented immigrants. That was the
Speaker 3: provision that was struck, which I think they were hoping
Speaker 3: would act as an incentive for those states. Listen, if
Speaker 3: you got a shoulder the larger share of the medicaid payment.
Speaker 3: In other words, the Feds are not going to reimburse
Speaker 3: you as much. If you have put illegal immigrants on
Speaker 3: the Medicaid rolls. It's going to suck for you, and
Speaker 3: that would force those states to reconsider their decision to
Speaker 3: cover illegal immigrants, put them in a financial position. Hell,
Speaker 3: California just had to change its law which expanded Medicaid
Speaker 3: to all illegal immigrants pairrot back significantly because their budget
Speaker 3: was collapsing. So that's effectively what it was trying to
Speaker 3: move through. But where we are right now, I guess
Speaker 3: I really can't say definitively. I personally have not sat
Speaker 3: down with all nine hundred and seventy plus pages of
Speaker 3: the bill to figure out what's in it, and I
Speaker 3: didn't sit through the sixteen hour reading on Sunday five one, three, seven, four,
Speaker 3: nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two
Speaker 3: three talk oh pound five fifty on eight and t phones.
Speaker 3: Maybe you can put some flesh on the bones of
Speaker 3: what we're talking about here this morning. Maybe something else
Speaker 3: is on your mind. Either way you want to go it,
Speaker 3: say okay with me, and you might want to go
Speaker 3: to QC Kinetics. If you're dealing with pain, knee pain
Speaker 3: and hit pain, shoulder of pain. You've been deal with
Speaker 3: it for a long time, been through a whole bunch
Speaker 3: of different batteries of steroid shots and always comes back.
Speaker 3: Now you're talking about surgery with your doctor, you know what,
Speaker 3: how about trying something different before heading on off to
Speaker 3: surgery and dealing with the issues and problems go along
Speaker 3: with that. Why not give QC Kinetics a call and
Speaker 3: take them up on their free consultation to find out
Speaker 3: if these advanced cellular therapies like platelet rich plasma are
Speaker 3: right for you. What these are designed to do is
Speaker 3: help your body heal itself, no masking the pain. It
Speaker 3: goes to the root of the problems. Cellular treatments contain
Speaker 3: growth factors and healing properties that maximize your body's ability
Speaker 3: to heal itself. And according to folks from QC Kinetics,
Speaker 3: they got a ninety two percent stisfaction rate from their patients,
Speaker 3: So that's pretty dang substantial. So before the S word,
Speaker 3: and grabbing a hold of that when I'm going under
Speaker 3: the knife. How much giving him a call? Why not
Speaker 3: ask five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine,
Speaker 3: five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.
Speaker 3: That's five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.
Speaker 14: This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 3: Uh channel nine. Weether forecast says we have a stick
Speaker 3: to kind of day to day. Plenty of sun though

Speaker 3: Sixty KCD talk station, Happy Wednesday to you go to
Speaker 3: the phones five went three seven eight two three talk
Speaker 3: order in which they received, which means, Brian, you're first welcome.
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Brian, Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Right back at you.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I just listed yesterday.
Speaker 16: And the day.
Speaker 15: I think we need to make a full hour for
Speaker 15: what Washington, d C, New York and Cincinnati politicians are
Speaker 15: doing and make it all the stack of stupid.
Speaker 3: I have no argument with that.
Speaker 15: Yesterday especially, I mean stackas you went right into New York,
Speaker 15: and that stack of stupid last in the nextra half
Speaker 15: an hour.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that place is falling apart. I still get
Speaker 3: over the guy that's got the nominee for mayor of
Speaker 3: the city that is just an outright communist, And I
Speaker 3: don't know, I think it creates more problems for the Democrats.
Speaker 3: Quite honest, with every talking head and every Democrat is
Speaker 3: willing to offer an opinion on that once to duck
Speaker 3: the issue. They're not endorsing that guy, they're not necessarily
Speaker 3: dissing themselves from them, but they don't want to be
Speaker 3: pinned to the commie label that their party is moving
Speaker 3: more and more toward. I mean, what do they have
Speaker 3: to offer as the party other people's money? Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 3: free stuff and things.
Speaker 15: Exactly where's my free stuff?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it boils down to. Yeah, if you
Speaker 3: think a lot of people's hearts and minds can be
Speaker 3: won over with the free stuff and things offered, So
Speaker 3: that seems to be the only direction the Democrats have
Speaker 3: to go these days. New Hampshire, Gary, Welcome back to
Speaker 3: the Morning show. Always a pleasure hearing from you, sir, hey.
Speaker 2: Speaking of stock and stupid and taking other people's monkey.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Ohio and that Paul Brown Stadium or
Speaker 2: or the Cleveland Brown Stadium thing. Huh to talk about?
Speaker 2: There you go giving other people other people's money all
Speaker 2: alone on that and you're paying the interest. Isn't that great?
Speaker 2: There's no difference between a communists and a Democrat and
Speaker 2: my feelings they're not.
Speaker 3: Well, well, that's that was that's the Republicans doing that.
Speaker 2: Exactly. That's a communist.
Speaker 3: Going back to Yeah, going back to Elon musk uniparty comment,
Speaker 3: everybody's on pretty much the same piece of playing field.
Speaker 3: Just who's getting the taxpayer dollars. Not a question of
Speaker 3: whether or not anybody should get or labor, but it's
Speaker 3: a question of whose interest of being served by which
Speaker 3: which party?
Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, uh, what I really called about?
Speaker 2: I just heard that I had to go on a tirade. Hey,
Speaker 2: there's a really good picture of what's going on in
Speaker 2: the Palisades, which is absolutely nothing. You know, all those
Speaker 2: people up in the uh uh uh but what six
Speaker 2: months after the fire and still nothing.
Speaker 3: Well, it's one thing you can definitely say about California.
Speaker 3: It is not a smooth process to get anything built there.
Speaker 2: Well, I remember all the promises, Oh, we'll get it
Speaker 2: cleaned up way. Oh well, you're just kidd it. Strike through.
Speaker 2: So again more communist failure, failure. But they're not going
Speaker 2: to be called on it because they can't wait for
Speaker 2: the whole place to look like Detroit.
Speaker 3: They keep voting the same people back in office. Jick, Gary,
Speaker 3: That's exactly what they're going to get, no question in
Speaker 3: my mind. Hey, maybe this is an opportunity for change.
Speaker 3: They went through so much garbage under the current administration.
Speaker 3: Leadership out there obviously failed epically when it came to
Speaker 3: dealing with the wildfire. The entire state failed epically when
Speaker 3: it came to getting ahead of the wildfires and taking
Speaker 3: care of the infrastructure and clearing the brush and making
Speaker 3: sure the power lines were in good shape. Failure, failure, failure.
Speaker 3: They had that reservoir shut off. It was completely drained
Speaker 3: and empty because they didn't get around to fixing it
Speaker 3: before the wildfires showed up. Wildfires that were predicted by
Speaker 3: literally everyone. Songs have been written about the wildfires. They've
Speaker 3: had wildfires in the past. It's a fact of life
Speaker 3: living out there. But did the administration and prior administration
Speaker 3: do anything. No, So, you know, the very definition is
Speaker 3: stupid is doing the same thing over and over again
Speaker 3: expecting a different result. Do you think they're going to
Speaker 3: do that to themselves again when they get another chance
Speaker 3: to go out to the voters and to to the
Speaker 3: ballot box and vote. It seems to me they're maybe
Speaker 3: ripe for a political change in the winds. I know
Speaker 3: I'm talking about California here, but you know what, someone
Speaker 3: who tries to be logical and spring from a sense
Speaker 3: of common sense and reason and living and observing. We
Speaker 3: live in a country where we have majority of people
Speaker 3: who voted for Donald Trump. Donald Trump whose party has
Speaker 3: gotten the Republican Party to expand to be the party
Speaker 3: of the people, the working piece, not the elite rich,
Speaker 3: which the Democrats always labeled the Republican Party of And
Speaker 3: they still run around screaming oligarch here and oligarch there,
Speaker 3: when in fact they're the ones that have gravitated over
Speaker 3: to that elitist mentality and oligarch mentality. So I see
Speaker 3: the possibility of change, and it's only within my lifetime.
Speaker 3: The Republican the California went full on blue. Will people
Speaker 3: change direction hoping for some different outcome. When you choose
Speaker 3: a different direction with your political leaders, I think they.
Speaker 3: I just seem to have read just the other day
Speaker 3: that California relaxed a lot of these zoning laws which
Speaker 3: prohibited development. Why because well, Pacific Palisades needs to be rebuilt.
Speaker 3: The Democrats put all these rules and regulations and impediments
Speaker 3: to development into law, and now they got a backpedal
Speaker 3: on it when reality smacks them in the face. Hmm,
Speaker 3: maybe we were wrong. At least in a crisis, they're
Speaker 3: willing to unring that bell and make things a little smoother,
Speaker 3: so people can move on with their lives, maybe because
Speaker 3: their jobs depend upon it. Going back to my point
Speaker 3: earlier about a change in the political wins six twenty sixth.

Speaker 14: Fifty five KRC Taylor History fans, I heeartread.
Speaker 3: It's six forty fifty five KRC Detalk Station's very Happy
Speaker 3: Wednesday to you call it. Earlier in the show, talking
Speaker 3: about stories coming out of New York with the Communist
Speaker 3: winning the primary, of course, the antics going on in Washington,
Speaker 3: d C. With the big beautiful Bill, and the back
Speaker 3: and forth between the even just within the Republican Party,
Speaker 3: notwithstanding what the Democrats are saying about it, and the
Speaker 3: craziness going on here in the city of Cincinnati. Crime
Speaker 3: and the deafening silence from our elected officials and dealing
Speaker 3: with crime and other elements all belong in the stack
Speaker 3: is stupid and you couldn't make an argument with that.
Speaker 3: And here's here's a similar one. We can throw this
Speaker 3: into the mix, all right. So they just announced, and
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know what the backstory is on this,
Speaker 3: but apparently the j Edgar Hoover Building where the FBI
Speaker 3: currently reside, is falling apart, and the Trump administration just
Speaker 3: decided they're going to move the headquarters from the Jaegar
Speaker 3: Hoover Building just down the street to the Ronald Reagan Building.
Speaker 3: It's only a couple of blocks away, accord to the reports.
Speaker 3: I'm not familiar with the geography and DC, but they
Speaker 3: were talking about moving it farther away green Belt, Maryland specifically,
Speaker 3: that's where the original decision they were going to change.
Speaker 3: They had been talking about this for quite some time.
Speaker 3: FBI Director Cash Hotel said moving to the Ronald Reagan
Speaker 3: Building is the most cost effective and resource efficient way
Speaker 3: to carry out our mission to protect American people in
Speaker 3: the hold of constitution. The Hoover Building apparently is crumbling.
Speaker 3: We could describe it as having crumbling infrastructure, and they've
Speaker 3: had to put nets to keep the infrastructure from falling
Speaker 3: on people's heads. Sounds like a familiar issue here in
Speaker 3: the city of Cincinnati. Question of where to move the
Speaker 3: FBI has been apparently a political fight. So Greenbelt, Maryland
Speaker 3: or down the street to the Wagon Building. Apparently it's
Speaker 3: going to the Reagon Building, FBI said in a statement yesterday.
Speaker 3: The previous efforts focused on constructing a new suburban campus,
Speaker 3: which would have cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and
Speaker 3: would have taken years to construct. Going back to cash
Speaker 3: Retel's point, this saves us all money, good and the
Speaker 3: stack of stupid partkart comes in. Look. Someone wrote wtf
Speaker 3: next to this. Democratic lawmakers immediately said they planned to
Speaker 3: fight the switch from Greenbelt, Maryland to the Wagon building
Speaker 3: down the street, saying the plan to move to green
Speaker 3: Belt was already final and the money was appropriated. Now
Speaker 3: we have a perfectly good space. It's just mere blocks
Speaker 3: away and won't cost the taxpayer billions of dollars and
Speaker 3: won't take years to construct. It's a much better, quicker plan,
Speaker 3: and it works, says the head of the FBI. Of course,
Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to fight it. It's something that
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's administration wants to do in the name of
Speaker 3: fiscal responsibility. Something actually is accomplished for us, and the
Speaker 3: Democrats don't want to do it. Why well, we got
Speaker 3: a money appropriated, Well tell you what, take it out
Speaker 3: of the stack of appropriated money and put it someplace else,
Speaker 3: or how about this just don't spend it period. Let's
Speaker 3: score to the phones, Jamie, thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 3: Happy Wednesday to you.
Speaker 17: Thanks Brian, good morning. In case anybody was still wondering
Speaker 17: about my wine and his shenanigans during COVID, he vetos
Speaker 17: three items that come against children and families directly. One
Speaker 17: is the educational savings account for family to attend non charter,
Speaker 17: non tax schools. The second is the cap on public schools,
Speaker 17: where families would actually get money back if they are
Speaker 17: holding more than fifty percent of the taxpayer money. And
Speaker 17: third is keeping sexual content and books out of the
Speaker 17: hands of children under the age of eighteen at the libraries.
Speaker 17: He vetoed all three of the.
Speaker 3: Wow, I've seen other vetos. I had sixty seven of them.
Speaker 3: I haven't had a chance to go through all of them,
Speaker 3: but I makes you scratch your head and wonder why
Speaker 3: what was wrong with those provisions. It seems to me
Speaker 3: that that's the vast majority of Lisa's constituents one, I mean,
Speaker 3: even constituents on the other side of the political ledger,
Speaker 3: although I'm not sure what side of the political ledger
Speaker 3: to Wine is on, but in terms of school choice
Speaker 3: and education, I think most everybody wants that option on
Speaker 3: their plate.
Speaker 17: Yeah. Well, I think there's some talks that they're going
Speaker 17: to go back, and I mean, I guess there's a
Speaker 17: mechanism to allow the House and the Senate to pull
Speaker 17: those things.
Speaker 3: Back in they can vote to override they can vote
Speaker 3: to override the vetos.
Speaker 17: Yes, yeah, that would that would be the thing to do.
Speaker 17: Like you said, the constituents those things. I don't understand
Speaker 17: the library provision. To me, that is really out of bounds.
Speaker 17: I mean he's basically saying no, they should have sexual
Speaker 17: content books in their hands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't get that one. I'd have
Speaker 3: to read the specific provision that he vetos to understand
Speaker 3: the size and scope of it. But my position on
Speaker 3: that has always been, if you're in a k through
Speaker 3: say six or eight, you know that that kindergarten through
Speaker 3: say middle school level, you have your own library in
Speaker 3: the school, At least I did growing up. It wasn't
Speaker 3: a general public library where everything is widely available. And
Speaker 3: I don't know that they can live content like you
Speaker 3: can go in and get the Marquis de Sads one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty Days of Sodom at the public library.
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't want any young person reading that horrific.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just disgusting what that guy was able
Speaker 3: to come up with in his head. But there it
Speaker 3: is readily available and the most graphic thing you've probably
Speaker 3: ever read. But would you carry that particular book or
Speaker 3: any of this other sexual content in a library that's
Speaker 3: designed for young people, that is limited in size and
Speaker 3: therefore limited in what it can even put on the shelves.
Speaker 3: And what kind of twisted individual selects given the finite
Speaker 3: amount of space sexual content for presentation to someone who's
Speaker 3: say K through six. That decision making alone, I find
Speaker 3: just just repellent. It's disgusting, it's abhorrent. You've chosen to
Speaker 3: select sexually related content to the exclusion of literally everything
Speaker 3: else that could have gone in that space, that limited
Speaker 3: space on the shelf. That's crazy, folks. My standpoint, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: I'll get your call if you don't mind holding just
Speaker 3: a minute. Got out of time in the segment with
Speaker 3: that ramble. Foreign Exchange a great place to take your
Speaker 3: imported car traditionally imported cars. I did they make quote
Speaker 3: unquote imported cars here in America like Toyota's. But you know,
Speaker 3: if you've got one, you want to go to Foreign
Speaker 3: Exchange to save money. Now you will be very happy
Speaker 3: with the service I have been for I think it's
Speaker 3: at least a decade I've been taken money. I mean,
Speaker 3: we all own imported cars in the Thomas family. So
Speaker 3: that's where they go. And I wish I could calculate
Speaker 3: how much money I've saved over the years by taking
Speaker 3: it to Foreign Exchange. But it's a heap load. And
Speaker 3: you have an a SE certified Master technician working on
Speaker 3: your car. They have data access to the technical information,
Speaker 3: software upgrades, they do everything. You get a full warranty
Speaker 3: on parts in service. And difference between the dealer and
Speaker 3: the independence at Foreign Exchange is the cost. And I'm
Speaker 3: telling you autobile repairs have gone through the roof of late,
Speaker 3: not that they were always, not that they were ever inexpensive.
Speaker 3: So getting onto FOREGN Exchange. The Westchester locations one, I'm
Speaker 3: recommending this the Tylersville Road off exit off of I
Speaker 3: seventy five. I've just head east two streets hanging right
Speaker 3: on Kinglyn Real short jog right there. Find him online
Speaker 3: for an AX for in the letter X dot com
Speaker 3: and please tell him Brian said, how when you give
Speaker 3: him a call at that Westchester location five one three
Speaker 3: six four four twenty six twenty six five one three
Speaker 3: six four four twenty six twenty six.
Speaker 14: Fifty five krc OHC since me.
Speaker 3: Talk station, Happy Wednesday again. So far as that provision
Speaker 3: regarding the content of sexual orientation or gender content. It
Speaker 3: was apparently all public libraries. It would have required public libraries,
Speaker 3: not just ones limited to school libraries. The place books
Speaker 3: contained a referencing sexual orientation or gender in an area
Speaker 3: away from the public. Some argue, and maybe the reason
Speaker 3: he struck it because even books that reference a female
Speaker 3: character in the title could be blocked. That was the
Speaker 3: I guess maybe it was just too broad for the
Speaker 3: governor and therefore stricken. That's just one of many that
Speaker 3: was vetoed Mike, thanks for holding. Welcome to the Morning Show, Hey.
Speaker 6: Ryan, but uh name of Madonna or whatever his name?
Speaker 7: Up?
Speaker 3: And man Donnie, Yeah, mandanieah.
Speaker 18: A plit up a cartoonist alib i in there to day.
Speaker 18: If you take the third and fourth letter of his
Speaker 18: name and flit him and flip over the eye, it
Speaker 18: sells Madman fair enough.
Speaker 3: I will be able to unsee that. Mike appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I think we can. Most of us can agree that's
Speaker 3: a pretty appropriate label for that guy. Corey, Welcome to
Speaker 3: the Morning Show, Thanks for calling.
Speaker 2: Thanks you, Hey, morning I.
Speaker 19: Didn't know if you heard it. A gun decision and
Speaker 19: I'll sit the court saying federal lall banning eighteen nineteen
Speaker 19: twenty year olds from beible to buy hand guns and
Speaker 19: carry concealed on its face, the law is unconstitutional. Well,
Speaker 19: the Trump Department of Justice yesterday denied to great cert
Speaker 19: to the United States of Supreme Court to fight that
Speaker 19: challenge all on its face and listen to fit circuit
Speaker 19: eighteen nineteen to twenty year olds have every brightness anyone
Speaker 19: else to carry him buy a fire arm, which I
Speaker 19: think is cypercent correct decision.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're adults. I don't know how you
Speaker 3: draw a distinction between adult. You can be adult, you
Speaker 3: can enter to a contract, you can buy a house,
Speaker 3: you married, anything after the age of eighteen. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think you should be able to drink, if you
Speaker 3: can go serve your country in a war, if you
Speaker 3: could be drafted, if we re implemented the draft. Why
Speaker 3: not give you all the rights of an adult. What's
Speaker 3: this whole idea that twenty one somehow makes you more
Speaker 3: of an adult or something extra few years of life
Speaker 3: experience makes you more constitutionally eligible. I'm with you, Corey,
Speaker 3: appreciate the call, man, and I guess the US District
Speaker 3: Court Kathy ben sevengo out in California issued in order
Speaker 3: granting summary judgment finding California provision barring non residents from
Speaker 3: applying for a concealed care license violates the Constitution, so
Speaker 3: creating a second class of citizen California. If you move
Speaker 3: out there and you're a non resident, but you want
Speaker 3: a CCW license, they would say no, well not after
Speaker 3: this particular case.
Speaker 2: He died.
Speaker 3: I've got Jay on the line. Jay, Welcome to the
Speaker 3: Morning Show. Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 7: Hey, Brian, how are you well.
Speaker 3: I hope you can say the same good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can.
Speaker 10: Hey, I've talked to you before.
Speaker 20: I spent about twenty years in Portland, Oregon. You've seen
Speaker 20: the demise of the city, especially the downtown area. If
Speaker 20: the city council doesn't get its arms around this crime problem,
Speaker 20: it's going to turn into another Baltimore, Portland.
Speaker 2: Seattle, Los Angeles. You can't let this stuff go. You know.
Speaker 20: I've attended Bullyink, I've attended Octoberfest, all the fun things
Speaker 20: there are to do in OTR in downtown. The man,
Speaker 20: if people still keep getting shot, people will stop going
Speaker 20: downtown and it will fall apart.
Speaker 3: I saw it first, and you've talked about that before.
Speaker 3: J I remember your calls about it. I know it's
Speaker 3: a sickening and disturbing sight to see watching the city
Speaker 3: that you love and it was once beautiful fall apart
Speaker 3: because of well, failure of leadership. But you're right, it's
Speaker 3: one of the criticism Christopher Smithman levies all the time
Speaker 3: against the mayor and the city Council for not more
Speaker 3: outright and outlawed supporting the police department, their effort to
Speaker 3: crack down on crime, getting communities to work with and
Speaker 3: cooperate with the police departments to help get rid of
Speaker 3: the criminal element, to turn people in who they know
Speaker 3: who have committed crimes. All of those things can go
Speaker 3: a long way a long with what properly funding the
Speaker 3: police department and getting enough officers on the street, patrolling
Speaker 3: in neighborhoods, creating a visual presence so people feel safer
Speaker 3: and are more willing than to enter into the greater
Speaker 3: center of the Cincinnati area limits of the city of
Speaker 3: Cincinnati without fear that they're going to get attacked. Silence
Speaker 3: is profoundly deafening, And yeah, I hope it doesn't go
Speaker 3: that way as well. Six point fifty five coming up
Speaker 3: at six fifty six. Got a little bit to talk
Speaker 3: about before we get the Donovan Neil on the Big
Speaker 3: Beautiful Bill, as well as afp urging lawmakers to override
Speaker 3: to wines vitas. Going back to the point the caller
Speaker 3: made earlier about the education related vitas, be right back
Speaker 3: after the news.
Speaker 21: President Trump made clear that a peaceful resolution was possible
Speaker 21: if I Ran agreed to give up its nuclear weapons ambitions.
Speaker 12: Another updates at the top of the hour fifty five
Speaker 12: krs the talk station.
Speaker 3: This report is sponsored by Straight Talk seven oh five.
Speaker 3: Here at fifty five can receive this meat Talk station
Speaker 3: five Tight two three Talk nine five fifty on eighteen
Speaker 3: and t found cheff Old on one second take your
Speaker 3: call here to mom. We'll let you know Donovan and
Speaker 3: Neil Americans for Prosperity urging wallmakers to override the wines vitas.
Speaker 3: I was just looking at a long list of fairly
Speaker 3: comprehensive list of what he vetoed and some pretty surprising
Speaker 3: vetos built into are from Governor to Wine a puzzling
Speaker 3: one to say the least. So Donovan and Neil on
Speaker 3: that topic, as well as his comments on the so
Speaker 3: called Big Beautiful Bill. Steve Belzo from the Kamerl County
Speaker 3: Klemer County Veterans Services at seven forty has some interesting
Speaker 3: and fun information to pass along to our veterans out there.
Speaker 3: Senator George Lang State Senator. He'll be on the show
Speaker 3: at eight oh five. He'll be talking about the Ohio
Speaker 3: budget and maybe whether they will seek to override some
Speaker 3: of those dwine vetos. Judge Edita Palitano on Independence Day,
Speaker 3: which some left wing organizations are suggesting we sit out,
Speaker 3: boycott Independence Day. We're not really independent, they say we aren't,
Speaker 3: So stay home and don't participate, don't fly your flag,
Speaker 3: don't go to a parade. Okay. I choose to go
Speaker 3: the opposite direction of that conclusion. We need a celebrator
Speaker 3: independence in our freedom. Remember remember we, you know, while
Speaker 3: we still have some freedoms to celebrate. Judge Edalpano asking
Speaker 3: sort of the rhetorical question, are we more free now
Speaker 3: or than when we were under King George's thumb? Jeff,
Speaker 3: welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling this morning.
Speaker 8: Comar In most important, I hope you and yours and
Speaker 8: Joe and his are all healthy and happy.
Speaker 3: No complaints for me. I can't speak for Joe, but
Speaker 3: my world's great and I appreciate you asking. I hope
Speaker 3: you can say the same.
Speaker 8: Well, thank you, sir. Hey listen, what have your national
Speaker 8: news on it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Start over again, because I think your call dropped
Speaker 3: out there. You said, now listen, so start from that point.
Speaker 8: No one can say your show is not fair and balanced,
Speaker 8: because when I listen to your national news feed, I'm
Speaker 8: constantly getting this crap about, like, for example, that the
Speaker 8: guy just goes, well, your tax cuts were made, but
Speaker 8: that's mostly for the rich, And I'm thinking, you idiot,
Speaker 8: if you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide, you might
Speaker 8: be able to figure out that the people that pay
Speaker 8: the most taxes are going to get the biggest tax break.
Speaker 3: Duh. Yeah, yeah that's it.
Speaker 8: What is iHeart Radio of owned you know a portion
Speaker 8: of the Democratic No.
Speaker 3: It's no, no, no, no, they it's at NBC News
Speaker 3: and you buy the news feed, all right, So you
Speaker 3: could buy Fox News. You can buy NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN,
Speaker 3: pick a choice. They all have recorded news and they
Speaker 3: offer it as a service, but you got to pay
Speaker 3: for it. So I have a company that is looking
Speaker 3: to keep its bottom line in order I won't speak
Speaker 3: ill of my company because I don't want to necessarily
Speaker 3: bite the hand that feeds me. But they went for
Speaker 3: the cheapest news that was out there. That's how we
Speaker 3: ended up with that. They selected it. They don't care
Speaker 3: what the content is and they don't understand even that.
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody in corporate even listens to the
Speaker 3: fifty five KC Morning Show know what it's about. But
Speaker 3: most of the radio stations in the iHeart lineup, there's
Speaker 3: seven hundred and fifty of them, and they all basically,
Speaker 3: can you know, have news to run on them, whether
Speaker 3: they're music or talk or whatever. There's a multitude of
Speaker 3: different programs out there. They have one news feed and
Speaker 3: it's NBC.
Speaker 8: So well, I tell you what, Bud. In that case,
Speaker 8: God bless iHeartRadio because they definitely are willing to put
Speaker 8: a different point of view than I have. And if
Speaker 8: you just listen to the people that agree with you
Speaker 8: all the time.
Speaker 3: You don't learn anything.
Speaker 8: So yeah, but y'all take care.
Speaker 3: And thank appreciate it, Jeff. And it is a constant
Speaker 3: source of comments for a listening audience like why in
Speaker 3: the hell is that being run? And then you listen
Speaker 3: to the content, which is really it's kind of revealing,
Speaker 3: isn't it. Joe Strecker, Occasionally his finger will slip and
Speaker 3: you'll find that maybe content related to Hollywood or movies
Speaker 3: that are coming out, or frivolous nonsense that they put
Speaker 3: into the newsfeed. I know you don't know what I'm
Speaker 3: talking about, Joe. I'm not putting words in your mouth,
Speaker 3: but occasionally that won't run all the way. That's an
Speaker 3: editorial decision being made right there. But my point on
Speaker 3: it is, wait a second. Of all the things that
Speaker 3: are going on in this world, the unlimited number of
Speaker 3: well vitally important stories that are out there, ones that
Speaker 3: might impact us directly, ones that had brought implications for
Speaker 3: all of us, or famine, pestilence, disease, anything you want,
Speaker 3: budgets here and there, whatever happens to me, they're going
Speaker 3: to choose to use some segment of that limited amount
Speaker 3: of time to run an article about what some Hollywood
Speaker 3: celebrity said or did, or some new movie coming out.
Speaker 3: Free advertising is what that sounds like. I think that's
Speaker 3: very revealing. Anyway. Some of the vetos from Dwine is
Speaker 3: the information's coming out. He did cut out the provision
Speaker 3: that would require public libraries that place books referencing sexual
Speaker 3: orientation or gender in an area away from the public
Speaker 3: cut a provision that would have taken away some of
Speaker 3: the school district's savings, one that would cap the carryover
Speaker 3: revenue with fifty percent and then require anything above that
Speaker 3: to be ref into you and me the taxpayer. Well,
Speaker 3: Dwine apparently claimed that could have resulted in bankruptcy bankrupted
Speaker 3: districts at multiple schools. Well, if he got a forty
Speaker 3: percent carrier, that means he's sitting on a pile of money.
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure why he vetoed that. One veto
Speaker 3: to provision that would have helped us the property tax
Speaker 3: property taxpayers out there, a provision that would have allowed
Speaker 3: county budget commissions to unilaterally take money away from past
Speaker 3: school levi's if they find it reasonably necessary. No longer
Speaker 3: there vetoed what would have been a win for school
Speaker 3: choice proponents like me, providing two point would have provided
Speaker 3: two point five billion dollars over the buiannium for the
Speaker 3: state's voucher system that'd give taxpayer dollars for students to
Speaker 3: attend non charter, non public schools that would have been
Speaker 3: moved toward school choice. Let us see cut a provision
Speaker 3: requiring teenagers under the age of eighteen who have been
Speaker 3: tried and convicted as adults to be committed to a
Speaker 3: Department of Youth Service facility rather than Apartment of Rehabilitation
Speaker 3: and Correction facilities. I don't know how that actually got
Speaker 3: in there in the first instance. Now here's one somebody
Speaker 3: were wtf after me cut an item that would have
Speaker 3: stopped SNAP benefits for sugar sweetened beverages. Going back to
Speaker 3: my point that I made yesterday an outrage over this.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not nutrition. If it's sugar sweetened beverages
Speaker 3: chock full of a whole bunch of sugar, it's not nutritional. Ergo,
Speaker 3: it shouldn't be part of SNAP. In the first instance,
Speaker 3: this would have removed it. He vetoed that provision. That
Speaker 3: just really angers me, and no reporting on why. And
Speaker 3: there's a whole It's like I said, there's sixty sevent
Speaker 3: of these among you know, land and energy cuts, administrative vetos,
Speaker 3: tax related vetos, education related vetos. But that one's got
Speaker 3: out of my skin. Let's see what Eric's got this morning. Eric,
Speaker 3: thanks for calling. Welcome to the morning show.
Speaker 7: Morning Brian.
Speaker 22: I just wanted to call and kind of congratulate Joe
Speaker 22: on his fingerslip during the last news update that he
Speaker 22: killed the K pop article or whatever the heck they were.
Speaker 8: Going to say.
Speaker 22: I know, and I just want to say thank you
Speaker 22: for Joe.
Speaker 23: Thank God, bless Joe, my god, Hey man, brother, I
Speaker 23: appreciate you pointing that out, the mystercent iteration of the fingerslip,
Speaker 23: and I applaud Joe Strecker for me not having to
Speaker 23: suffer through the K pop reporting as well.
Speaker 3: Just like I don't know what you're talking about. I
Speaker 3: don't know what you're talking about. I have no idea
Speaker 3: what you're talking about. Measure my dad back in when
Speaker 3: he was still playing music on his morning show before
Speaker 3: the went all political and which happened in the eighties
Speaker 3: at some point. But he was still playing music when Madonna,
Speaker 3: I believe her first album came out and she was
Speaker 3: hits in the charts and all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 3: and you couldn't get away from hearing a Madonna song
Speaker 3: if you had the radio on, including AM radio. Well,
Speaker 3: Dad had a rather elevated level of hatred towards Madonna
Speaker 3: maybe kate, it's the wrong word. He didn't like her music,
Speaker 3: didn't like her, didn't want to have anything to do
Speaker 3: with her. So they had these what they called carts,
Speaker 3: a little eight track kind of looking things, and occasionally
Speaker 3: they did break because it was tape well anytime Madonna's
Speaker 3: cart came up, because he would get a rundown of
Speaker 3: all the songs he had to play that was pre programmed.
Speaker 3: And here, Jerry, these are the times when you play
Speaker 3: the following songs that he put him in a stack
Speaker 3: when he was getting ready to do the show during
Speaker 3: his show prep in the morning. That one always magically broke.
Speaker 3: Every time it was there, it broke. They went through
Speaker 3: a lot of carts with Madonna. I Love My Dad
Speaker 3: five three, seven hundred and eight two to three, Taco
Speaker 3: Tom Fi fifty on AT and T phones and get
Speaker 3: in touch with Suzette Low's camp across Country Mortgage. Just
Speaker 3: outstanding customer service. She is the best. And I even
Speaker 3: got a separate independent email from one of my listeners
Speaker 3: out there who took my advice to work with Susette
Speaker 3: Lowe's camp and she helped him get out of a
Speaker 3: real crazy situation hit his house paid off and there
Speaker 3: were some some issues with regard to the title, I guess,
Speaker 3: but she helped him out. He mentioned he was having
Speaker 3: some sleepless nights over the problem behind the scenes, and
Speaker 3: he said, imagine my surprise and delight when out of
Speaker 3: the LUs she called me to inform me that she
Speaker 3: had called in a favor to help me out, had
Speaker 3: the releases located and forward them to me so that
Speaker 3: I could relax. There were three releases, three open mortgages,
Speaker 3: and they shouldn't have been there. So she figured it
Speaker 3: out for him, just because he lamented to her during
Speaker 3: the prime. The time he was going he was working
Speaker 3: with her to refinance his mortgage. So it's got customer
Speaker 3: service are the best. Whosette is absolutely phenomenal to what
Speaker 3: she does. Been thirty five years in the mortgage business
Speaker 3: team with Cross Country Mortgage. Whatever state you're sitting in
Speaker 3: and hearing me from, she can help you out and
Speaker 3: no junk fees or application fees, just great rates at
Speaker 3: low cost and that superior customer service. So whatever your
Speaker 3: mortgage related need happens to be work with the best.

Speaker 3: Seven twenty fifty five KR see the talk station. Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 3: As I mentioned earlier, and I'll mention it again today
Speaker 3: since normally today would be listening lunch Day, we kicked
Speaker 3: it off one week. That'll be next Wednesday, the ninth,
Speaker 3: where we're going to be at Wandering Monsters Brewery and Barbecue,
Speaker 3: Beachmont Avenue. So Herett's a really good place, so hope
Speaker 3: to see you there. We usually start about eleven thirty.
Speaker 3: You can feel free to show up when you want.
Speaker 3: Some people show up a little bit later. Some people
Speaker 3: are done eating by the time I get there, usually
Speaker 3: about a quarter after eleven. But it's a really enjoyable time.
Speaker 3: I just really appreciate meeting the listeners and hanging out
Speaker 3: with them and join the fellowship. And you know, usually
Speaker 3: one hundred percent like minded people are at least on
Speaker 3: the same chunk of the political ledger. But everyone's invited,
Speaker 3: but just come with a smile on your face. Again
Speaker 3: Wandering Monsters next Wednesday. I hope you got some great
Speaker 3: Independence Day plans coming up as well. We're talking about
Speaker 3: d Wines, Vitas and just going through the list of
Speaker 3: some of the other ones. He vetoed a provision that
Speaker 3: would have required state employees to work in the office
Speaker 3: full time. I guess part of me wants to understand
Speaker 3: why he would do that, But an interesting requirement. How
Speaker 3: many of you must go to the office to perform
Speaker 3: your job every day doesn't seem like a big ask.
Speaker 3: It was the norm before COVID shows up. Anyway, And
Speaker 3: here's another one that might trouble some folks, and maybe
Speaker 3: in the name of free speech, we're talking about state
Speaker 3: owned buildings and property here, though, he removed a provision
Speaker 3: that limited the type of flags that were allowed to
Speaker 3: be displayed on Stato buildings and property, which would include
Speaker 3: only the Hile flag, US flag, pow Mia flag, and
Speaker 3: flags of official state agencies as approved by the governor.
Speaker 3: So by removing that, he of course will be allowing
Speaker 3: then a state building or administrative agency or otherwise to display,
Speaker 3: for example, the LGBTQ Pride flag. I don't know if
Speaker 3: that was his intent by removing that limitation, but it's removed.
Speaker 3: Let's see here he've etoed a provision that would Sunset
Speaker 3: the Film and Theater Production tax Credit program prohibiting the
Speaker 3: award of the tax credit. Why are they entitled to
Speaker 3: a tax credit? Is your business get one? It's like
Speaker 3: a magnet to get Hollywood to come out here and
Speaker 3: make movies or something. Anyway, it's not in there anymore,
Speaker 3: they say. The lawmakers now do have an opportunity to
Speaker 3: do line Item veto overrides, which I think is what
Speaker 3: Donovan Neil is going to be advocating for. However, that
Speaker 3: would require them to come back from their break. Three
Speaker 3: fists of each chamber would be required to do. So
Speaker 3: let me just ask you, sort of a hypothetic or
Speaker 3: other a rhetorical question, do you think they'd be willing
Speaker 3: to come back from break in order to override vetos. So,
Speaker 3: still pouring through all the details of that one, and
Speaker 3: still trying to figure out what's in the Big Beautiful
Speaker 3: Bill and whether the House are representative moving on to
Speaker 3: the National Big Beautiful Bill, whether there's enough House members
Speaker 3: against it that it would prohibit it or prevent it
Speaker 3: from passing. And some of the articles suggest as many
Speaker 3: as twenty Republicans are against some of the changes to
Speaker 3: send it made somewhat more cuts, and some are asking
Speaker 3: for less fewer cuts. Medicaid of course a big, sticky
Speaker 3: and hot topic, but right now it seems to be
Speaker 3: moving in the right direction, more people speaking out positively
Speaker 3: in favor of passage than negatively. But if you've got
Speaker 3: that many question marks floating around, there is a significant
Speaker 3: possibility that it will not pass. So you and I
Speaker 3: will find out soon enough. Keep your popcorn out. And oh,
Speaker 3: I got Joey on the phone, Joey, welcome to the program.
Speaker 3: Happy Wednesday to you.
Speaker 24: Hey, good morning, sir. Hey, I just wanted to speaking
Speaker 24: of Mike to line. I lost a lot of interest
Speaker 24: in him a long time ago. But the one thing
Speaker 24: that really got my goat that still gets me about him,
Speaker 24: and we easily forget this during the COVID era and
Speaker 24: everybody was given these presidential like standings in these little
Speaker 24: interviews in the evening and given updates and all that.
Speaker 24: It was just such a charade. But the thing that
Speaker 24: really took me off during COVID was he was given
Speaker 24: away those free college education packages and money to people
Speaker 24: that would go get the vaccine.
Speaker 3: Do you remember that, Yeah, vaguely. There were so many
Speaker 3: crazy edicts and mandates from the variety of governors across
Speaker 3: the entire nation. I have a difficult time separating one
Speaker 3: crazy one from another, but there were certainly some crazy
Speaker 3: ones from the Dwine administration.
Speaker 24: Yeah, that just really irked me. I mean, all you
Speaker 24: had to do was go get the vaccine, and if
Speaker 24: you you got picked, you you got to completely flee.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it was just ridiculous,
Speaker 8: how absurd.
Speaker 24: And he jumped on that bandwagon too, and was given
Speaker 24: that all away, and then they're they're stately looking, you know,
Speaker 24: interviews in the evening when they would come on live
Speaker 24: and interrupt and give updates and all that, and it
Speaker 24: was just such nonsense.
Speaker 2: But there were.
Speaker 24: Plenty of other people that probably could have deservedly used
Speaker 24: that education.
Speaker 10: But all you had to do was go get the vaccine.
Speaker 24: You know, wink wink, and and all of a sudden,
Speaker 24: yours was free and you're all taken.
Speaker 7: Care of her.
Speaker 3: That just get a vaccine to get a free lottery ticket.
Speaker 3: Basically appreciate that Amy Acting is gonna have to deal
Speaker 3: with all that and so much more so. You's gonna
Speaker 3: have a hard battle against vi Vike Ramaswami, who was
Speaker 3: on the program. Yoh, Steve, you can get a chance
Speaker 3: to listen to you bike check out the podcast care
Speaker 3: See dot com. But uh yeah, my favorite one was
Speaker 3: can you can stay at the bar but you can't
Speaker 3: drink after ten pm? I mean, to this day, I'm
Speaker 3: still trying to make some sense out of that one,
Speaker 3: and I've pretty much given up. Just shy seven twenty
Speaker 3: six right now if you bi KRCD talk Station Americans
Speaker 3: for Prosperity Donovan and Neil Returns, He'll be on next
Speaker 3: After I mentioned imaging. Imaging can be affordable, just don't
Speaker 3: go to the hospital imaging department, huge overhead, massive fat
Speaker 3: profit center for the hospitals. Echo cardiogram thirty five hundred
Speaker 3: dollars at a hospital probably same amount for an mri
Speaker 3: CT scan can set you back five thousand dollars, and
Speaker 3: an ultrasound could be as up to as much as
Speaker 3: two thousand dollars. These all can be done to affordable
Speaker 3: imaging services, which use the same kind of equipment hospitals use.
Speaker 3: Each image at affordable imaging services comes with a board
Speaker 3: certified radialogist report included in the price, So don't pay
Speaker 3: thirty five hundred dollars for that echo cardiogram. Pay five
Speaker 3: hundred dollars without an enhancement eight hundred fifth yes, compared
Speaker 3: to thirty five hundred dollars genuine say having my friend
Speaker 3: Jeff sends me an email almost every time because he's
Speaker 3: saved thirty one hundred dollars getting a CT scan at
Speaker 3: Affordable Imaging Services versus the amount he would have paid
Speaker 3: at the hospital. I call that genuine money. I don't
Speaker 3: know where you are financially, but thirty one hundred dollars difference,
Speaker 3: real savings all across the board, and they can get
Speaker 3: you right in. There's no real waiting list in affordable imaging.
Speaker 3: Call them up, exercise your choice five one three seven
Speaker 3: five three eight thousand, seven five three eight thousand online.
Speaker 3: Learn more at the website that's Affordable Medimaging dot com.
Speaker 3: Fifty five car the talk station.
Speaker 14: I enjoy the long weekend.

Speaker 3: very happy Wednesday to you one hour from now. Judge
Speaker 3: Ennena Politano and Independence State twenty twenty five. Are you
Speaker 3: freer now than you were under the thumb of King George?
Speaker 3: Legitimate question to ponder, George Lang State centat They're going
Speaker 3: to join the program at eight to five talk about
Speaker 3: the Ohio budget. And joining the program right now to
Speaker 3: talk about the Ohio budget. Donovan and Neil from Americans
Speaker 3: for Prosperity Welcome back to the show, Donovan. Always a
Speaker 3: pleasure having you.
Speaker 13: On, Brian, Always great to be with you and happy
Speaker 13: to be an opener for Buckeye Blueprint champion George Lang.
Speaker 10: He's one of the best.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm looking forward to talking to him as well.
Speaker 3: Maybe he can discuss why it is that Governor de
Speaker 3: Wan vetoed so many provisions, sixty seven vetos. Now they
Speaker 3: can override these vetos if they come back from their break.
Speaker 3: Is my understanding, what's the percentage they need by way
Speaker 3: of I mean, is this a super majority to override
Speaker 3: veto Is it a simple majority? How does that work?
Speaker 3: Do you know? Donovan?
Speaker 13: Yeah, And it's actually something we've done before. AFP was
Speaker 13: part of this. You may remember late in the final
Speaker 13: term for Governor Kasik, there were some medicaid provisions that
Speaker 13: he vetoed. Legislature came back overrode his vetos. These were
Speaker 13: waivers to save some money, bring some efficiency to that program.
Speaker 13: So it's possible, and it's happened in recent history. It's
Speaker 13: a two thirds majority, so that ninety nine members in
Speaker 13: the House you need. What is that I think about
Speaker 13: sixty three sixty sixty three somewhere in there, so two
Speaker 13: thirds majority, it's not unfeasible. There's sixty five members in
Speaker 13: the Republican caucus.
Speaker 7: In the House, the Senate, I think I.
Speaker 13: Would say it's probably a slam dunk for something like
Speaker 13: a veto override. But the House is where you've got
Speaker 13: to kind of watch and see who's available and around
Speaker 13: to come back and get that done.
Speaker 3: Okay. And in terms of how this would work, are
Speaker 3: would they vote to override all of the vetos across
Speaker 3: the board or are they just going to hand pick
Speaker 3: the ones that they really want to override? I mean,
Speaker 3: do you have any insight into how that's going to
Speaker 3: work or if it will work that way?
Speaker 13: My understanding and I have to take another look at
Speaker 13: how all those how all this sort of comes together.
Speaker 13: But my understanding is it is each individual veto has
Speaker 13: to be voted on. You don't just vote to undo
Speaker 13: the whole package. You have to pick and choose what
Speaker 13: you're going to what you're gonna do there. But you
Speaker 13: could do it all that just be sixty seven different votes,
Speaker 13: I believe.
Speaker 3: Okay, So it's unlikely that they would vote on every
Speaker 3: single veto then, is what you're saying.
Speaker 7: I think that's right.
Speaker 13: I think they probably would prioritize the ones where there's
Speaker 13: the largest amount of consensus, things like property taxes or
Speaker 13: reg reform.
Speaker 10: Or school choice.
Speaker 13: I would hope, and maybe some of this other stuff's
Speaker 13: tackled in other future pieces of legislation.
Speaker 10: We would still get it all done this session, all.
Speaker 3: Right, which is a good segue into Americans for Prosperity.
Speaker 3: What is AFP advocating for in terms of its choices
Speaker 3: on what should be overridden?
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, well, you know, we issued our Buckeye Blueprint.
Speaker 13: That's our policy agenda for this year. Big things like
Speaker 13: tax reform. Moving on he to a flat tax. That's
Speaker 13: mission accomplished. The governor recognized he couldn't veto that and
Speaker 13: have it stand. But there's other major priorities property tax,
Speaker 13: in particularly property tax reform. All the property tax reform provisions,
Speaker 13: those were designed to provide immediate relief while also providing
Speaker 13: structural reform to keep a property tax crisis like we're
Speaker 13: experiencing right now happening. Again, those were all vetoed by
Speaker 13: the governor. Reg reform, so the Rains Acts type provisions
Speaker 13: that were included in the In the final version of
Speaker 13: the budget that would have rained in executive overreach. There
Speaker 13: was maybe a little bit of executive overreach, and he
Speaker 13: v towed the ability to rein in his bureaucrats.
Speaker 3: That was well. That was the provision that if any
Speaker 3: regulation that was implemented had a financial impact of what
Speaker 3: more than one hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars,
Speaker 3: then it had to be specifically voted on in the
Speaker 3: legislative branch exactly.
Speaker 13: And so it's not saying you can't have a rule
Speaker 13: that's going you know, you can't implement a new regulation
Speaker 13: that's going to have a million dollar economic drag on.
Speaker 10: The state of Ohio.
Speaker 13: It just needs a little extra scrutiny. That was veto
Speaker 13: to put on the cutter room floor. Did he explain
Speaker 13: why there's put so with each of these vetos, the
Speaker 13: governor does have to provide a veto message. I would
Speaker 13: describe it as a pretty sterile message. I believe if
Speaker 13: I recalled them, that was a pretty generic This slows
Speaker 13: down the ability for the executive and our agencies to
Speaker 13: do their job.
Speaker 3: Oh well, good, that's the point of it, isn't it.
Speaker 7: I agree?
Speaker 3: I agree, Brian, You've got to put people on the
Speaker 3: Are you in favor of this expensive regulation or do
Speaker 3: you want to not have this expensive regulation? Vote on it.
Speaker 3: I don't see a problem with that. That's actually disheartening
Speaker 3: right there.
Speaker 13: Well, what's interesting, though, is this isn't unique. You know,
Speaker 13: AFP's leading the charge on this rainsac reforms across the country.
Speaker 13: Over twenty states have introduced or past reforms this year alone,
Speaker 13: just the first six months of this year. States like
Speaker 13: Kentucky with Andy Basheer, no surprise, he vetoed it.
Speaker 10: The legislature came back and slapped.
Speaker 13: Him down, although they're only a simple majority, but Wyoming,
Speaker 13: even with Republican governors Wyoming vetoed, they.
Speaker 10: Came back and slapped him down.
Speaker 13: And so it actually is it's kind of a dramatic
Speaker 13: finish to these sorts of reg reform ideas. Right when
Speaker 13: the executive says I don't want more oversight and the
Speaker 13: legislature comes back and overrides them. I think that's the
Speaker 13: idea behind those bills, right, is that the legislature has
Speaker 13: that oversight and if the governor fit to veto it,
Speaker 13: I think it's right for the legislature to come back
Speaker 13: and reassert their authority.
Speaker 10: It's why they put it in the bill in the
Speaker 10: first place.
Speaker 3: Amen, brother, And with your encouragement from Americans for Prosperity,
Speaker 3: maybe they would do just that. Pause. We'll bring Donald
Speaker 3: and' neil from AFP back after these brief words, including
Speaker 3: first USA Insulation and outstanding product. And of course you've
Speaker 3: been feeling the summer heat. It's gonna be sticky day

Speaker 3: The newer the home is, the more likely it is
Speaker 3: you are adequately insulated, but you move back in time,
Speaker 3: the old insulation isn't insulating as well as it is
Speaker 3: probably only R twelve if it had any and moving
Speaker 3: before the mid seventies. Zero insulation the exterior walls, So
Speaker 3: solve the problem. Save the money, guarantee cover the cost
Speaker 3: of the installation. You may very well at only ninety

Speaker 3: Station from Americans for Prosperity. Donovan and Hills speaking about
Speaker 3: the various dwine vetos which can be overridden, as he
Speaker 3: explained in the last segments, need to come back and
Speaker 3: do it. You picked out some other ones at AFP
Speaker 3: that you want to override, Donovan. What might they be?
Speaker 13: Well, property tax, I mean you we've talked about this
Speaker 13: on the show before, Brian. You hear it wherever you go,
Speaker 13: from coffee shops to doors, which we do a lot
Speaker 13: of doors here at AFP talking to voters, to roundtable
Speaker 13: events with legislators. There's a property tax crisis here in
Speaker 13: state of Ohio. The legislature put a number of provisions.
Speaker 13: These weren't just ideas that they were trying to see
Speaker 13: if they'd.
Speaker 10: Stick to the wall.
Speaker 13: Last year, Bryant, the legislature had a select committee that
Speaker 13: came together, heard hours, hundreds of hours of testimony from
Speaker 13: various groups, and developed they believe it was twenty one
Speaker 13: recommendation list that was brought into this session. That list
Speaker 13: was used to then develop dozens of pieces of legislation
Speaker 13: that again got hundreds of hours of vetting and public
Speaker 13: testimony and discussion in the State House over the last
Speaker 13: six months. These ideas that were in this budget bill,
Speaker 13: these handful of ideas that are in this budget bill
Speaker 13: addressing the property tax crisis or among some of the
Speaker 13: most vetted, well respected, kind of agreed upon ideas to
Speaker 13: resolve not just the problem immediately, but also make some
Speaker 13: of the structural changes.
Speaker 10: For some unknown reasons still, the.
Speaker 13: Governor saw fit to just strip those from the budget.
Speaker 13: His argument was, we need to have a little more
Speaker 13: vetting and bring together a working group to kind of
Speaker 13: solve this property tax problem here in the state.
Speaker 7: It's insane to me.
Speaker 3: He was quoted as saying, I mean, first of all
Speaker 3: at tax increases across will have strained many family budgets
Speaker 3: and danger of the financial security of many unfixed incomes.
Speaker 3: No kidding. Then he pivots over to the various vetos
Speaker 3: that he did that were addressed to that problem. These
Speaker 3: ideas were thoughtful, but I was also concerned that imposing them, now,
Speaker 3: all of them at once, on our local schools would
Speaker 3: create a huge, huge problem. Huh so care more about
Speaker 3: the schools in the elderly?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, the problem is here and now. Right, the
Speaker 13: Ohioans are facing the risk of losing their homes because
Speaker 13: of out of control property taxes. Yeah, the crisis is here.
Speaker 13: The problem is now, and the legislature put a handful solution.
Speaker 13: There's more to be done, quite honestly, but the legislature
Speaker 13: puts some solutions in to release some of that pressure
Speaker 13: and give folks some breathing room.
Speaker 3: All of that left on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 10: Wow, all right, well what these what these would have done?
Speaker 13: These These aren't really controversial ideas either, right. It's ideas
Speaker 13: like saying, hey, you know, we're going to empower the
Speaker 13: County Budget Commission is local elected officials who oversee the
Speaker 13: budgets in a county to have some additional oversight to say, hey,
Speaker 13: if you're sitting on a large amount of cash balance
Speaker 13: as a local government taxpayer dollars, and you're coming back
Speaker 13: from more money to the taxpayers, you actually maybe shouldn't
Speaker 13: do that, right and being able to tell them don't
Speaker 13: do that.
Speaker 10: You can't go get more money.
Speaker 13: From the taxpayers right now until you spend the money
Speaker 13: already are sitting on from them. Things like that provide
Speaker 13: that immediate relief.
Speaker 3: But vetoed vetoed, as you.
Speaker 10: Can tell, it's a little frustrating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there was one provision that would have
Speaker 3: changed the authority of county budget commissions, allowing them to
Speaker 3: unilaterally shrink a school district's levy passed by the voters.
Speaker 3: I suppose that would apply in circumstances where the school
Speaker 3: really doesn't need the money, given the cash reserves they
Speaker 3: have they're sitting on, sitting on. Then they had the
Speaker 3: cash balance carryover provision, which he vetoed, would have put
Speaker 3: a forty percent cap in a school district carryover revenue
Speaker 3: or the unspent funds of a district that they have
Speaker 3: on hand at the end of a fiscal year. In
Speaker 3: other words, they didn't spend what of the one hundred
Speaker 3: percent revenue that they were entitled to, so they're sitting
Speaker 3: on that. Then you can't ask for more and you
Speaker 3: got to give back to the taxpayers anything over the
Speaker 3: forty percent.
Speaker 10: That's right.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, the idea you're right is we wouldn't be
Speaker 13: happy if Columbus was sitting on gobs of cash and
Speaker 13: still taking money from our paychecks. And sales tax and
Speaker 13: other mechanisms are right, and quite frankly.
Speaker 3: They haven't.
Speaker 13: Columbus has cut taxes over the last decade. We've gone
Speaker 13: from nine tax brackets now we're down to one of
Speaker 13: a rated two point seventy five percent. What was the
Speaker 13: last time you heard of a school board, a city,
Speaker 13: a county, at government actually lowering.
Speaker 10: Taxes on its citizens.
Speaker 13: I've yet to find that government that's that's done it.
Speaker 13: Among the thirty nine hundred in.
Speaker 3: The state of Ohio, legitimate point down, vent O'Neil, Well,
Speaker 3: hopefully you get them herded up rounded back into Columbus
Speaker 3: and start voting on overwriting vetos. Good luck with the effort,
Speaker 3: Donovan on behalf of all the property tax payers, and
Speaker 3: of course people who are in favor of some school
Speaker 3: choice and the like. Get to work. My friend, round
Speaker 3: those cats up.
Speaker 13: We're going to shooting fireworks this Friday for the fourth
Speaker 13: of July, and then we'll be out there getting folks
Speaker 13: to get this done over.

Speaker 3: So I'm forty eight, fifty five KRC The Talk Station.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Shows. Steve Belzo,
Speaker 3: Executive director of the Clarmont County Veterans Service Commission, helping
Speaker 3: out our American veterans each and every day. God bless you,
Speaker 3: Steve and everybody there for what you're doing for our veterans.
Speaker 3: What a great program. It's an awesome program, right, and
Speaker 3: you know one of the things you offer, and we
Speaker 3: haven't talked and focused on this, We've mentioned it, you
Speaker 3: brought it up, of course, but transportation, right, transportation to
Speaker 3: medical appointments. This is something that Clarmont County Veterans Services
Speaker 3: does in fact offer absolutely what a great thing.
Speaker 25: Yeah, you think about Uncle Joe, Granddad, Yeah, they're they're
Speaker 25: up in age, they're they're still getting around, but putting
Speaker 25: them in Cincinnati traffic is the scariest thing. Right, So
Speaker 25: if you can have someone who can transport your loved
Speaker 25: ones to and from the VA from their home, yeah,
Speaker 25: what a phenomenal opportunity to get dad or mom off
Speaker 25: the road that you know they're being driven safely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really excellent point when think about the seniors.
Speaker 3: But you know, the practical reality is all of us have,
Speaker 3: you know, issues that crop up in our day to
Speaker 3: day lives. A lot of us are still working and
Speaker 3: we can't take Dad over to get his appointment. As
Speaker 3: much as we would want to as family members, it's
Speaker 3: just not possible, absolutely valid. So how does the Clima
Speaker 3: County Veteran Services manage the transportation? And we'll talk about
Speaker 3: you know, how do you get in touch and we're
Speaker 3: arrange at all the details on that, Steve right right,
Speaker 3: you know, we are.
Speaker 25: Every county in Ohio has our office, the Veteran Service Office.
Speaker 25: Every county handles transportation different It's up to the county commissioners,
Speaker 25: the border commissioners of the Veterans Service. It's different from
Speaker 25: your county commissioners to design what that transportation is going
Speaker 25: to look like within their budget.
Speaker 3: Okay, so Orlando Sonza would be working with the Hamilton
Speaker 3: County Veteran Services to decide how they are going to
Speaker 3: offer transportation, which may be different than Claremont County.
Speaker 25: Absolutely, And you know there was a lot of rift
Speaker 25: a number of months ago about Hull Hamilton was handling
Speaker 25: the transportation of the veterans. But they were going to
Speaker 25: change that and they're trying to adopt a new model
Speaker 25: to transport veterans around it and good on them. The
Speaker 25: county's a big county. Claremont were a little different. We
Speaker 25: have four vehicles. I have nine drivers with a manager
Speaker 25: over them to schedule all the transportation needs. So as
Speaker 25: a veteran calls into the line and says, hey, I
Speaker 25: need a ride down to the VA. But the interesting
Speaker 25: part is the VA is trying to extend their service
Speaker 25: time frame to handle veterans. Usually by sixteen usually by
Speaker 25: four pm, their services stop at the VA. So what
Speaker 25: the VA has done is they've contracted individuals physicians outside
Speaker 25: who are able to see appointments even later through the afternoon.
Speaker 25: Oh good, So now we're not just people think, wow,
Speaker 25: this is only for a VA appointment. If I'm going
Speaker 25: downtown to the VA. If the VA has scheduled the
Speaker 25: appointment for you, even if it's with doctor Jim on
Speaker 25: the West Side, we will take it to doctor Jim
Speaker 25: on the west Side. If you're a Claremont County veteran,
Speaker 25: Oh wow, so you.
Speaker 3: Will travel outside the county then yes, yes, how about that? Absolutely?
Speaker 25: Yeah, at the VA in Cincinnati scheduled the appointment on
Speaker 25: your behalf to be seen by a physician, and you're
Speaker 25: a Claremont County veteran, we will take you there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And you want to know where you do that clarmacatty
Speaker 3: Veterans dot com. That's the website. Are there any physical
Speaker 3: restrictions for those who can ride in the in the vehicles?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Another Yeah, you're hitting it.
Speaker 25: I would say ambulatory only, meaning the those people who
Speaker 25: can maneuver on their own. So what we do not
Speaker 25: have are handicapped wheelchair accessible via lesh.
Speaker 3: So what do we do for them? Well, we have
Speaker 3: my next question. What about those guys? Ah? Great, leading,
Speaker 3: So thank you for that low hanging fruit.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 25: So for those individuals, we have a relationship with Claremont
Speaker 25: County Veterans or Claremont County Senior Services, who then will
Speaker 25: transport the veteran. They have the wheelchair lift, they have
Speaker 25: the individuals who are trained to handle individuals, lock the
Speaker 25: chairs down and transport them to and from the VA
Speaker 25: as we would have.
Speaker 3: Perfect so they are adequately covered along. This is correct,
Speaker 3: all right, Now let's get to the fundamental point because
Speaker 3: some of that there is going, well, I need a
Speaker 3: ride to my adoctor's appointment. How does one How does
Speaker 3: a veteran schedule their ride with the Clarmont County Veteran Services.
Speaker 25: So typically with the VA, you will know well in
Speaker 25: advance that a appointment is coming up because of VA
Speaker 25: will annoy you with four texts a week and a
Speaker 25: phone call with reminders. So there is there's plenty of
Speaker 25: lead times. So we need a phone call five days
Speaker 25: before you're a point three so the management team can
Speaker 25: ensure that we have enough drivers working that day and
Speaker 25: can schedule the routes to pick veterans up. And that
Speaker 25: phone number directly is five to one, three, five three six.
Speaker 25: I'm sorry seven five one three seven three two seven
Speaker 25: four seven to one.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make sure you clarify that because that was
Speaker 3: counting my notes when you started out there.
Speaker 25: Yes, yes, Climat County Senior Services, I was giving you.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, seven three to two seventy four seventy one.
Speaker 3: That's correct, fair enough, And there's a separate number for
Speaker 3: the Senior Services UH and Clement County Veterans dot com.
Speaker 3: Can you schedule an appoyment directly through the website?
Speaker 7: You cannot?
Speaker 3: You cannot? You cannot.
Speaker 25: It will give you the phone number direct to transportation.
Speaker 3: All right? Now, what are the guidelines of veterans need
Speaker 3: to be aware of that are wanting to use the
Speaker 3: Clermont County Veteran Services transportation? Sure?
Speaker 25: One of them is you need to be in our
Speaker 25: system as a veteran, So we will need a copy
Speaker 25: of D two fourteen. This is all held as PII
Speaker 25: person identifiable Information, so we keep it secure.
Speaker 3: Now, wouldn't someone who's already hooked up with the since
Speaker 3: ANYVA have that or you need it on separately on
Speaker 3: file at the Veteran Services.
Speaker 25: Separately on file with us. We are not the VA,
Speaker 25: right right, So although we if we have a power
Speaker 25: of attorney, we can see into your records at the
Speaker 25: VA and substantiate that However, to make it easier, if
Speaker 25: if dad, granddad or the veteran has a copy of
Speaker 25: d D two fourteen, bring it down, bring it with
Speaker 25: you the day of your trip. Make a copy. Our
Speaker 25: service officers are able to validate yes, this is an
Speaker 25: actual D two fourteen.
Speaker 3: And so once that's on file, though, it's one and done. Correct. Okay,
Speaker 3: so further transportation down the road, you've already got the
Speaker 3: records perfect.
Speaker 25: Secondly, if they were to take their D two fourteen
Speaker 25: to the Register of the County in Clarmont County, they
Speaker 25: will give you a Claremont County Veteran's idea D.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked about that, and that's a good thing
Speaker 3: to get. Absolutely. Uh, federal holidays.
Speaker 25: You know that VA is quite unique for a federal organization.
Speaker 25: They continue working on federal holidays. It's medical care, right.
Speaker 25: Many think, well, well it's fourth of July Department. No,
Speaker 25: they're not leaving Uncle Bob unplugged and unmonitored the fourth
Speaker 25: of July, right, So the VA still schedules appointments during
Speaker 25: federal holidays. So if you have an appointment out of
Speaker 25: federal holiday, my drivers.
Speaker 3: Are working fantastic. Clarmont County Veterans dot com online, can't
Speaker 3: schedule the transportation there. I'll give you that phone number again.
Speaker 3: It's five one three seven three two seventy four seventy one.
Speaker 3: And they offer a wealth of services to the veterans
Speaker 3: out there in the community. So I recommend, regardless of
Speaker 3: whether you need a media transportation, get the information go
Speaker 3: to Clarmont County Veterans dot com so you know in
Speaker 3: advance what they can do for you when the need arises,
Speaker 3: like provide transportation. Steve Bell's oh, keep up the fan

Speaker 21: got up to the State House eight years ago, and
Speaker 21: my ultimate goal is to eliminate the income tax all together. Yeah,
Speaker 21: and you know, it may take Mica a week or
Speaker 21: two to get over his cramping hands and maybe corporate
Speaker 21: tunnel syndrome set in. I don't know, but I feel
Speaker 21: really really good about our odds of eliminating the income
Speaker 21: tax altogether under a Governor Ramaswami.
Speaker 3: Well, since the future governor of the State of o
Speaker 3: how Ramaswami, was on my program yesterday. He embraced that
Speaker 3: concept completely. I asked him about that very specific thing
Speaker 3: he said absolutely, we are going to eliminate the income
Speaker 3: tax completely. That I mean talk about creating a more
Speaker 3: competitive state. It's going to be wonderful. It's going to
Speaker 3: be wonderful for the state of Ohio, Mike, it really is.
Speaker 21: And if you just look at what happened in Ohio
Speaker 21: in the last fifty years, go back with me to
Speaker 21: nineteen seventy. Not only was the music a lot better
Speaker 21: back then, but in nineteen seventy, Ohio itself was and Roland.
Speaker 21: We're making automobiles, tires, consumer goods, steal We are the
Speaker 21: economic epicenter of the United States of America. And fast
Speaker 21: forward to twenty twenty. In nineteen seventy, Ohio was the
Speaker 21: twelfth largest economy in the world. In twenty twenty, Ohio
Speaker 21: became the twenty fourth largest economy in the world. We're
Speaker 21: still slightly larger than Morocco, Mike, but we're shadow of
Speaker 21: where we used to be. And Oh, I'm sorry, Brian.
Speaker 21: And in nineteen seventy, Brian, the average Ohio and made
Speaker 21: ten percent more than the average American, Bryan. In twenty twenty,
Speaker 21: the average Ohioan made twelve percent less than the average American.
Speaker 21: And in nineteen seventy, we go from twenty four congressmen
Speaker 21: to fifteen. What happened the income tax. We put the
Speaker 21: income tax in in nineteen seventy one. One tax after another,
Speaker 21: one regulation after another, Brian, we started driving businesses away
Speaker 21: and people went to where the jobs were. No state
Speaker 21: in America got their butt kicked worst in Ohio in
Speaker 21: terms of congressional representation loss from nineteen seventy to twenty twenty.
Speaker 21: By the way, last year, the average Ohio and made
Speaker 21: four percent more than the average American. And I guarantee
Speaker 21: you we're going to add a congressman in twenty thirty.
Speaker 3: Appreciate your optimism, sharing the optimism of vivek Ramaswami, he man.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you can't help but be enthus and optimistic
Speaker 3: about the future. When you talk to that guy, he
Speaker 3: really is a cheerleader for the state in the future.
Speaker 21: And you know, Ohio's future is bright. I mean, if
Speaker 21: you just look at what does happened since we have
Speaker 21: started lowering income sackers, and it started about twenty years ago.
Speaker 21: We got real serious about it about eight years ago,
Speaker 21: and look what happened, Brian. Look at all the companies
Speaker 21: coming back to Ohio, Amazon, Honda, Google, Ford andrew Ell,
Speaker 21: Intel building the biggest chips factory and the Galaxy right
Speaker 21: here in Ohio. But what I'm more excited about BRN
Speaker 21: are the little guys. In the last six years, two
Speaker 21: point one million startup businesses in Ohio. Wow, more than
Speaker 21: the previous twenty years COMBINEDIOA last year, fourteen percent of
Speaker 21: all startups in America were in Ohio. We are the
Speaker 21: startup capital of the world. We're just not the state
Speaker 21: to keep your business or the state to start it.
Speaker 21: I want to make us a state to grow it,
Speaker 21: to keep it, and to stay here.
Speaker 3: Well, and also to market itself. So those businesses that
Speaker 3: are dealing with outrageous taxes and outrageous regulatory issues that
Speaker 3: they want to move to the state of Ohio, like
Speaker 3: so many states are. So many companies did moving out
Speaker 3: of New York and California. Now, speaking of that, I
Speaker 3: understand that the governor one of the vetos. He stripped
Speaker 3: out the Rains Acts, reforms that would have strengthened legislative
Speaker 3: oversight of these ridiculously costly regulations. This is one of
Speaker 3: the things Americans for Prosperity has its eye on by
Speaker 3: way of overwriting the veto. Were you a little shocked
Speaker 3: that he did that? And do you have any concept
Speaker 3: of or any idea of knowing why Governor de Wine
Speaker 3: pulled that particular one out.
Speaker 21: You know, I believe everything that Governor the Wine vetoed.
Speaker 7: His motives were pure. I do believe he's a good man.
Speaker 21: I believe I disagree with him often, but I believe
Speaker 21: his votives were pure. But this one, I truly believe
Speaker 21: that Governor de Wine thinks that government knows best. We
Speaker 21: had a meeting with the Department of Taxation, with the
Speaker 21: director and a few of their deputies several years ago,
Speaker 21: with several of my colleagues in the House of Representatives,
Speaker 21: myself and Senator Johnson, and it was obvious that the
Speaker 21: bureaucrats were in charge. They did not listen to a
Speaker 21: thing we said. We did not intimidate them, and it
Speaker 21: was a simple fix that they could have made without
Speaker 21: any legislative action, and they told us no. You know
Speaker 21: that it's one of the problems with term limits, although
Speaker 21: I fully support it, but term limits and you end
Speaker 21: up giving power to lobbyists and bureaucrats, at least lobbyists.
Speaker 21: I understand their motive. It is the profit motive, a
Speaker 21: pure and noble motive. But these bureaucrats, they scare me
Speaker 21: and I don't understand their motive. And they are they are.
Speaker 21: They have way too much power and Columbus today.
Speaker 3: Well, and they're not accountable to the people. As you
Speaker 3: point out, they're not elected, they don't have to run
Speaker 3: for re election. They get to make any decision they
Speaker 3: damn well please, and can well ignore the even just
Speaker 3: the concept of representative democracy is he just pointed out
Speaker 3: in that one illustration. So but I mean, whether his
Speaker 3: motives are pure or not, he stripped out the Rains reforms,
Speaker 3: which would put that power right back in the hands
Speaker 3: of the legislative branch where it belongs.
Speaker 8: That's not as correct.
Speaker 21: And then very disappointing.
Speaker 3: All right, So what is there a time frame to
Speaker 3: override these vetos? I know everybody's on break right now,
Speaker 3: independency and otherwise, But are you gonna have to call
Speaker 3: people back to Columbus to vote on these or can
Speaker 3: you kick the can down for the road for a
Speaker 3: month or two and then vote on repeals? How does
Speaker 3: this work, Senator?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 21: Constitutionally, we have until the very last day of this
Speaker 21: General Assembly, which would be December thirty first of twenty
Speaker 21: twenty six. The reality is there are quite a few things.
Speaker 21: I think, at least speaking on behalf of the Senate,
Speaker 21: that we had a leadership meete and discussed a few
Speaker 21: things that we think are important to override. You know,
Speaker 21: every single override has to originate in the House, So
Speaker 21: no matter what we do in the Senate, because this
Speaker 21: is a House bill, it has to start in the House.
Speaker 21: I think the simple to your answer to your question is, yeah,
Speaker 21: we do have I believe the will for some VETO overrides.
Speaker 21: I don't think we have the will to override all
Speaker 21: the VETO overrides, but I think you will see us
Speaker 21: do some. I don't think we'll be called back during
Speaker 21: the summer. You know, everybody has summer plans. I have
Speaker 21: recently been diagnosed with stage four colo rectal cancer. Some
Speaker 21: treatments down in Tijuana in July. And don't you dare
Speaker 21: awe me. I'm not a woe with me kind of guy.
Speaker 21: I know you're not with you cancer kind of guy.
Speaker 3: I know you're not.
Speaker 21: I'm I'm taking I'm gonna kick your ass again. That's
Speaker 21: that's that's.
Speaker 3: Good for you, man, That's a great attitude to have.
Speaker 3: And I'm not a woe as me guy either. After
Speaker 3: I got my parents a diagnosis, I'm playing that. I'm
Speaker 3: playing the cards that I've been dealt. And uh, you know,
Speaker 3: there are a lot more people out there that deserving a
Speaker 3: prayer and sympathy than Brian Thomas. So I appreciate your optimism,
Speaker 3: but best to health to you and good luck with
Speaker 3: the fight, my friend. I know you can beat it.
Speaker 3: He vetoed a lot of the property tax reforms that
Speaker 3: were in the bill as well, and we are in
Speaker 3: desperate need a property tax reform, most notably seniors on
Speaker 3: fixed incomes. They're getting taxed right out of their houses. Senator,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 21: It's it's not just seniors on fixed income. It is many,
Speaker 21: many people that the property taxes have been devastating to.
Speaker 21: And the original intent of the property tax, Mike, when
Speaker 21: it was originally passed, you had to vote on it.
Speaker 21: And keep in mind of all property tax level levies
Speaker 21: stayed local. None of it goes back to the state,
Speaker 21: but you had to vote on it, and your property taxes,
Speaker 21: the amount you personally paid would never go up unless
Speaker 21: you voted for another increase, and there was a chance
Speaker 21: that would go down is development and more homes were sold,
Speaker 21: But it was originally set that.
Speaker 7: It would never go up. Well, as we know, we.
Speaker 21: Have bastardized that over the years and we have a
Speaker 21: system now where when valuations are your property go up,
Speaker 21: your property taxes go up commensurate with it. That was
Speaker 21: never the intention of the when we originally allowed property taxes.
Speaker 21: So we do need some reform so that every time
Speaker 21: a school district, every time a municipality, a fire district,
Speaker 21: a library, once more money, let them go to the people,
Speaker 21: make their case and let them convince the voters why
Speaker 21: they need more money. And you know, I do trust
Speaker 21: the VOLT and then the good people at the since
Speaker 21: I public schools. But you know we can't just give
Speaker 21: them these bonuses every three years that valuations increase with
Speaker 21: it has to stop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it should be a limit. You know,
Speaker 3: you're voting for X amount and that's all you are
Speaker 3: going to get. If your property tire, your valuation of
Speaker 3: your property goes up, you know, a thousand percent or something.
Speaker 3: The amount of money taking shouldn't go up in a
Speaker 3: commensurate amount. It's capped at whatever was voted on in
Speaker 3: terms of overall dollars, right, is that how we're supposed
Speaker 3: to have it here.
Speaker 21: That's how we were supposed to have it here, and
Speaker 21: that's how we put it into the budget. Now that
Speaker 21: there were some that actually wanted to punish school districts
Speaker 21: and make it retroactive, I was not a monngst those,
Speaker 21: you know. I don't think that it was the right
Speaker 21: thing to do to make sure the school districts are
Speaker 21: loss of money as a result of this, but just
Speaker 21: to make sure they didn't get a windfall as a
Speaker 21: result of this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I understand where you're coming from, because they
Speaker 3: acted in reliance on what they expected to come in
Speaker 3: and they planned accordingly, So to tell them it's taken
Speaker 3: away would put a lot of districts in a rather
Speaker 3: precarious position. So I understand where you're coming from on
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 21: And the other thing on education, he vetoed the educational
Speaker 21: savings account would allow some non chartered Christian schools for
Speaker 21: lack of a better term, participate in the voucher program.
Speaker 21: I was very disappointed in that as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's one that I find rather inexplicable. As well.
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought he was a school choice kind
Speaker 3: of leaning guy.
Speaker 21: Yeah, you know, and there is a great Monassory School
Speaker 21: up in Liberty Township that does a wonderful job educating kids,
Speaker 21: not indoctrinating them, but true teaching them how to think. Yeah,
Speaker 21: and they're not able to participate in it. With this budget,
Speaker 21: they would be allowed to participate in the program. And
Speaker 21: the governor's veto that that is one of the ones
Speaker 21: that I hope my colleagues take up as a priority
Speaker 21: for an overriding.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I suppose in terms of what my listening
Speaker 3: audience can do being get in touch with the representatives
Speaker 3: and tester them about bringing these to the floor for
Speaker 3: a vote, so you'll have an opportunity to vote on
Speaker 3: its senator.
Speaker 21: That is correct, yep, And it's got to start in
Speaker 21: the House of Representatives. Call all your local House members
Speaker 21: and encourage them to take up the charge for the
Speaker 21: veto overriding.
Speaker 3: All right, Especially, I would argue that RAINS Act, the
Speaker 3: Education savings accounts, any property tax reforms, we desperately need
Speaker 3: that out here in the real world. Well, I'll look
Speaker 3: forward to I guess this will be a piecemeal kind
Speaker 3: of thing you can pick off one at a time
Speaker 3: and over the period of time that you have, which
Speaker 3: is basically about what eighteen months or a year and
Speaker 3: a half or so.
Speaker 21: Yeah, is correct, And you know, keep in mind we
Speaker 21: need sixty percent of the vote in order to do
Speaker 21: an override. So I think it would be a mistake
Speaker 21: for us to try to do too many at one understood,
Speaker 21: because you know, there are certain things that some of
Speaker 21: my colleagues, if they were left.
Speaker 7: Alone, would be a no vote on.
Speaker 21: And you know, the budget overall, usually you can get
Speaker 21: people to vote for things that they don't like in
Speaker 21: the budget. I have never voted for a budget that
Speaker 21: I liked everything that was in it. But as long
Speaker 21: as we continuing lowering taxes, lowering regulations, bringing businesses back,
Speaker 21: making Ohio more prosperous, I'm going to vote.
Speaker 7: Yes on it.
Speaker 3: Senator George Lang, it has been a pleasure talking with you.
Speaker 3: We show all the best in the world with your
Speaker 3: cancer fight. I know you're going to beat it. Sound
Speaker 3: really optimistic about that, and that's where it really starts,
Speaker 3: my friend. I look forward to having you back on
Speaker 3: the program to talk about well, future legislations, the repeals,
Speaker 3: the votes and anything else going on to the state
Speaker 3: of Ohio. You know you have a welcome spot here
Speaker 3: in the morning. Should have passed a long information to
Speaker 3: the listeners.

Speaker 3: A twenty three fifty five KR See the talk station
Speaker 3: Judge Awnapolitana on Independence Day twenty twenty five will beyond next.
Speaker 3: We are independent of London, but are we independent of Washington?
Speaker 3: He asked rhetorically, is there more freedom when governed by
Speaker 3: one tyrant three thousand miles away or by three thousand
Speaker 3: tyrants a few miles away? Does government today remotely resemble
Speaker 3: the values articulated on July fourth, seventeen seventy six. I
Speaker 3: think you know the direct answered all those questions and
Speaker 3: go back to that Rains Act. He mentions this random
Speaker 3: three thousand You know tyrants there probably more than that.
Speaker 3: If you consider the entire administrative state, you know that
Speaker 3: that the wine pulled out those Rains Acts provisions is
Speaker 3: directly related to that concept. If it has a financial
Speaker 3: impact beyond a certain dollar amount, any regulation that has
Speaker 3: been promulgated and put out there by the eggheads in
Speaker 3: the back room that aren't elected. The administrative state exists
Speaker 3: behind the scenes in Columbus just like it does in DC.
Speaker 3: If they put out a rule of regulation that causes
Speaker 3: you and I have financial impact over a certain amount,
Speaker 3: then the legislative branch has to vote on it specifically.
Speaker 3: I mean they make these things up out a whole claw.
Speaker 3: If they pass the law and then they give them
Speaker 3: to the legisl or the administrative branch to start creating
Speaker 3: all these regulations that are supposed to comply with. You know,
Speaker 3: the perimeters and the scope of the law that was passed.
Speaker 3: Our elected officials don't bother with actually you know the
Speaker 3: specifics the underlying workings of the law that they pass.
Speaker 3: It passed that responsibility on as someone in the back room,
Speaker 3: and then they they can't be accountable for it. It's
Speaker 3: amazing how that works. But you know why out loud,
Speaker 3: would Governor de Wine remove the provision which protects you
Speaker 3: and I and forces our elected officials to do their
Speaker 3: job and specifically vote on things that have a profound
Speaker 3: financial impact on us. Why would he do that? That's
Speaker 3: a legitimate question. So get in touch with your your
Speaker 3: representatives and tell them to vote to repeal the veto
Speaker 3: of at least that provision. Coming up next Jodejennena Politano

Speaker 16: Thank you, Brian. Did you send a copy of my
Speaker 16: column to Ingram? Does he read these things now?
Speaker 3: But you know you would think he did. Excellent column.
Speaker 3: By the way, I am a lucky man because I
Speaker 3: get a copy of it early. It does come out tonight.
Speaker 3: Independence Day twenty twenty five, and you post some very
Speaker 3: good rhetorical questions out front and your honor.
Speaker 16: They read those first two or three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, independentive London, But are we independent of Washington? Is
Speaker 3: there more freedom when governed by one tyrant three thousand
Speaker 3: miles away, by three thousand tyrants a few miles away?
Speaker 3: Does government today remotely resemble the values articulated on July fourth,
Speaker 3: seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 16: Nobody wants to answer those questions. You know, taxation with
Speaker 16: that representation as tyranny was their mantra in seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 16: If you add up all the taxes, the maximum individual
Speaker 16: tax imposed on any one person three percent. Today in
Speaker 16: some parts of the country it's fifty nine percent. Three
Speaker 16: percent was enough for a bloody revolution. Fifty nine percent
Speaker 16: isn't even enough for Republicans to come to their senses.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, and I go back to the Constitutional
Speaker 3: Amendment A longing for taxation of income tax that is
Speaker 3: legalized slavery. I always express taxation is the form of
Speaker 3: stealing my labor. I have no say over it. I
Speaker 3: work and they take a chunk of my money. That
Speaker 3: is my labor being taken from me in the form
Speaker 3: of dollars and shipped off to the federal government to
Speaker 3: do god knows what with.
Speaker 16: So Jefferson argued that the only moral commercial transaction is
Speaker 16: one that is consensual. So if I want to purchase
Speaker 16: a service from the federal government, like importing goods to
Speaker 16: a port owned by the federal government sometimes called a tariff, okay,
Speaker 16: that's a good for service. If I need some other
Speaker 16: service from the federal government, I can pay for it.
Speaker 16: But the idea of the federal government just glombing money
Speaker 16: reaching into our pockets and redistributing wealth is antithetical to
Speaker 16: the values of the Constitution. I don't know how that's
Speaker 16: going to change without some kind of a revolution. You know,
Speaker 16: this legislation that Trump wants with a very childlike name,
Speaker 16: a big beautiful bill, yeah, which pass the Senate by
Speaker 16: one vote thanks to an Ohioan who's the Vice President.
Speaker 16: I honestly think if he were still the junior senator
Speaker 16: from Ohio, he would have voted against it because it's
Speaker 16: against something the things he believes in. But of course
Speaker 16: he now is the President's guy, and he'd have serious
Speaker 16: problems if he had broken the tie the other way
Speaker 16: because he doesn't believe in increasing the debt. He doesn't
Speaker 16: believe in adding one hundred I'm speaking of Vice President Vans,
Speaker 16: of course, formerly Senator Vans from Ohio. He doesn't believe
Speaker 16: in a trillion dollar defense budget to finance seven hundred
Speaker 16: and fifty military installations in eighty foreign countries. Come on,
Speaker 16: nobody could even name the eighty countries, much less than
Speaker 16: seven hundred and fifty installations or what the hell they're doing.
Speaker 3: It really is an amazing military footprint that we have
Speaker 3: out in the world. Of Course, the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 3: envious of it, would like to substitute the United States president,
Speaker 3: but then they would have the same financial problems on
Speaker 3: their hands as we have currently. A trillion dollars is
Speaker 3: an outrageous amount, and I always predicate that on qualifying,
Speaker 3: and my listening audience knows. I am a fan and
Speaker 3: a assistant, and I try to help the American veterans
Speaker 3: whenever I can. I appreciate the fact that we have
Speaker 3: a US military, and I appreciate there are people willing
Speaker 3: to sign on the dotted line and lists for service
Speaker 3: when they have god knows no idea where they're going
Speaker 3: to be going. I consider them brave and patriotic. That said,
Speaker 3: the federal budget for military spending and the military spending itself,
Speaker 3: they can't even pass an audit. They've tried eight times
Speaker 3: and they can't. They don't have the documents or information
Speaker 3: to qualify for an audit. And I see all the fraud,
Speaker 3: waste and abuse that's going on, whether it's been identified
Speaker 3: specifically or not. We got Medicaid fraud, we got Medicare fraud,
Speaker 3: we got every giant government program fraud, all those COVID
Speaker 3: nineteen programs that went out there. Fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud,
Speaker 3: you know, damn well, there's all kinds of fraud, wasting
Speaker 3: abuse in that trillion dollar annual military budget.
Speaker 16: In the government Madison and Jefferson gave us, there would
Speaker 16: have been no place for this. We wouldn't have had
Speaker 16: a standing army, we wouldn't have a Department of Health
Speaker 16: and Human Services. That wouldn't be Medicaid or Medicare. There
Speaker 16: would be private insurance or charitable institutions as there was
Speaker 16: before Social Security, and then Medicare and Medicaid came along.
Speaker 16: But now this is why I ask, we are no
Speaker 16: longer dependent on London, but we are dependent on Washington.
Speaker 16: Half the country is dependent on the government, either receiving
Speaker 16: government benefits, getting bills paid by the government, selling something
Speaker 16: to the government, or working for it. That is inconceivable
Speaker 16: to the founders that the federal government would become so big,
Speaker 16: so fat, so antithetical to the small government maximum individual
Speaker 16: values of July fourth, seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 3: It really is, and you know, so much of it's
Speaker 3: built on this sort of I think Judeo Christian notion
Speaker 3: that we need to help our suffering brothers and sisters
Speaker 3: out of the world. But that's the obligation of someone
Speaker 3: with faith, that's the obligation of the individual. That's the
Speaker 3: obligation of you and I, and that helps limit the
Speaker 3: number of people who actually are looking for a handout.
Speaker 3: But when you go ahead and the government takes over
Speaker 3: that role in the name of doing something right for humanity,
Speaker 3: more and more people will hook themselves up to that
Speaker 3: just because it's convenient and easy to do so. And
Speaker 3: the government is a terrible overseer of whether someone is
Speaker 3: really truly deserving a needing of these various services. They
Speaker 3: just become well people hooking up their umbilical court to
Speaker 3: government and just calling to day on their own person responsibility.
Speaker 16: Look, charity. The word charity comes from the Latin caratas,
Speaker 16: which means your heart. It is impossible to be charitable
Speaker 16: with someone else's money. You can only be charitable with
Speaker 16: your own. This is not charity. This is government force
Speaker 16: taking money out of our pockets and redistribitting it to
Speaker 16: the less fortunate. Do we have a moral obligation to
Speaker 16: help the less fortunate? Individuals who embrace the Judaeo Christian
Speaker 16: morality do, But the government doesn't have the right to
Speaker 16: take that money from us and give it away. This
Speaker 16: is almost an insoluble problem without the concept of repudiation.
Speaker 16: Repudiation means repudiating the nation's dead. How the hell are
Speaker 16: we going to pay back thirty seven trillion dollars? Well,
Speaker 16: this so called big beautiful bill. If I were on
Speaker 16: the floor of the House standing next to Congress and Massey,
Speaker 16: I would look at my colleagues and say, you must
Speaker 16: hate your grandchildren, hate them because you just raised their
Speaker 16: taxes by fifteen or twenty percent in order to pay
Speaker 16: back the money that you're borrowing to spend today. Now,
Speaker 16: what is repudiation. Repudiation happens when the borrower can no
Speaker 16: longer pay back the debt because the borrower is a
Speaker 16: known bankrupt to which the creditor should never have loan
Speaker 16: his money. So all those people and entities that buy
Speaker 16: federal government bonds are lending money to a known bankrupt
Speaker 16: that does not have the ability to pay them back,
Speaker 16: that has to borrow money in order to pay back
Speaker 16: the interest on borrowed money. That is a recipe for repudiation.
Speaker 16: And of course the outcome for repudiation would be nobody
Speaker 16: would ever lend the federal governor Nickel again, Good, the
Speaker 16: Feds would have to live within their budget.
Speaker 7: Good.
Speaker 3: Yes, you're making perfect sense. And maybe that's exactly what
Speaker 3: they're setting themselves up for, because at some point, you know,
Speaker 3: the US fiat currency is not going to be the
Speaker 3: number one, most reliable, most countable on currency out in
Speaker 3: the world. Something can rise to take its place, crypto
Speaker 3: or otherwise, and they'll quit borrowing money and putting in
Speaker 3: a US Treasury bonds.
Speaker 16: Correct, But that is going to happen in your and
Speaker 16: my lifetime. I don't know that this repudiation is but
Speaker 16: the collapse of the dollar I think will happen quickly.
Speaker 16: It'll either be crypto or it'll be bricks. I mean bricks.
Speaker 16: Right now is a far larger economy than what the
Speaker 16: dollar funds. And you may not like those countries Brazil, Russia, Iran, China,
Speaker 16: South Africa, they are as financially they are more financially
Speaker 16: stable than the United States, with far less debt.
Speaker 3: Well, that makes their currency a little bit more reliable
Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned, because we're on a train wreck.
Speaker 3: And you know, Senator Paul makes a great point. Five
Speaker 3: trillion dollars. You're increasing debt, sealing five trillion dollars. They're
Speaker 3: just going to go on autopilot and dig us five
Speaker 3: more trillion dollars into the whole to guarantee at this point.
Speaker 16: Correct, correct, Right now, the government collects about five to
Speaker 16: six trillion in income taxes and other fees. More than
Speaker 16: a trillion of that right off the top interest pay
Speaker 16: that service, you get more than a trillion of that
Speaker 16: right off the top Defense Department, more than a trillion
Speaker 16: of that right off the top Wealth distribution.
Speaker 3: Well, and the unknown CIA budget, which may very well
Speaker 3: be in and of itself a trillion dollars, We just
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 16: Unknown, Brian. What about that clause in the Constitution that
Speaker 16: little Jimmy put in there, no money shall be taken
Speaker 16: from the federal treasury but that which is recorded in
Speaker 16: a public journal.
Speaker 3: Well, well you didn't. You didn't see the asterisk there
Speaker 3: except for Langley, Virginia, except for what goes on it
Speaker 3: Langley Judgeopolitano. A delightful conversation, and of course one little
Speaker 3: it's one that makes people think about it, pause and think, hmm.
Speaker 3: Maybe he has a great point there. He does check
Speaker 3: it out tonight, Independence Day twenty twenty five. Are you
Speaker 3: going to be talking to today on judging freedom?
Speaker 16: I have Aaron Monte, Phil Giraldi, and Max Bloomenthal, all
Speaker 16: equally hot as you and I about what we've just
Speaker 16: been discussing. It's a pleasure, Brian. I look forward to
Speaker 16: the three day weekend. I hope you do as well,
Speaker 16: and see you next week.
Speaker 3: Hey, man, brother, stay well, it's a forty right now.
Speaker 3: Fifty five kr ce DE talk station.
Speaker 14: Don't go away if you right back, fifty five krc.
Speaker 4: Touching en rules you want to reocurate?
Speaker 3: Hey, forty seven and fifty five KRCD talk station. Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 3: I'm off on Friday. It's going to be a best
Speaker 3: of show. And as I was talking with Joe about that,
Speaker 3: if I was going to have somebody cover for me
Speaker 3: or do a best of, he says best of? I said, well,
Speaker 3: can we get Tech Friday's Dave had her on tomorrow?
Speaker 3: He said, already done it. There's the brilliance at Joe
Speaker 3: Strekker right there. So a Thursday edition of Tech Friday.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if he's going to mention it, but
Speaker 3: FBI did issue a warning to basically everyone here in
Speaker 3: the United States that Iranians maybe starting to engage in
Speaker 3: fiber attacks given our air strikes on their country's nuclear program.
Speaker 3: So he said, defense industrial based companies, particularly those possessing
Speaker 3: or holding relationships with Israeli research and defense firms, are
Speaker 3: at increased risk. But basically the risk is out for everyone.
Speaker 3: Are online act activists of increasingly conducted website defacements and
Speaker 3: leaks of sensitive information exfiltrated from the victims. So d
Speaker 3: doos attacks, denial, denial, service tax and that kind of
Speaker 3: thing going on, and they expected to increase beyond guard
Speaker 3: take Dave Hatter's advice. Oh and one more thing in
Speaker 3: the Ohio budget bill. I started out the program this
Speaker 3: morning talking about it doing the job that parents should
Speaker 3: be doing. I started with this survey that Harris Poll did.
Speaker 3: They ask parents, you know, what do they wish had
Speaker 3: never been invented when they think about their children growing up?
Speaker 3: Number one adult online content? Number two social media and
Speaker 3: number three messaging apps. Number four smartphones generally video games,
Speaker 3: the internet, streaming services, and television order in which those
Speaker 3: things the parents wish didn't exist. And I kind of
Speaker 3: chuckle over that because parents are in the position and
Speaker 3: ability to take all that away. Don't give you a
Speaker 3: kid a smartphone. You don't have to worry about them
Speaker 3: accessing porn online. I mean, if they go to the
Speaker 3: neighbor's house and they have an online computer, of course
Speaker 3: they can do it. There's always workarounds, but removing the
Speaker 3: cell phone huge step in the right direction. And why
Speaker 3: would you send your cell phone with your child to school?
Speaker 3: They're just going to be on it all day. Well,
Speaker 3: the legislative branch and the governor have just signed into
Speaker 3: law in the budget bill banning cell phone use in schools.
Speaker 3: One of the reasons articulated implementing the statewide ban in
Speaker 3: school lawmakers, rather than teachers or parents, then become the
Speaker 3: bad guys limiting access to cell phone, so they did
Speaker 3: the job for you. Anyway, it's under most circumstances K
Speaker 3: through twelve public schools will not children will not be
Speaker 3: allowed to use cell phones. Districts have to adopt their
Speaker 3: own policies by January first of next year, so there'll
Speaker 3: be some circumstances where kids will have access to phones,
Speaker 3: but it must be specifically defined and it bans the
Speaker 3: cell phone use during the instructional day. That's in quotes,
Speaker 3: what does that mean? Jane Timkin offered that it meant
Speaker 3: the first bell in the morning until the final bell
Speaker 3: at the end of the day. But I don't think
Speaker 3: it's defined in the legislation. Maybe that gives school districts
Speaker 3: some flexibility on what an instructional day is, because maybe
Speaker 3: there'll be periods during the day that aren't considered instructional,
Speaker 3: and then kids will have access to and ability to
Speaker 3: use their smartphones. I don't know. Going back to some
Speaker 3: of the points Judgenda Platano made, I thought, you know,
Speaker 3: we do put much control and power in the in
Speaker 3: the hands of the government, and they're irresponsible stewards of
Speaker 3: our money generally speaking. Most notably, let's use an illustration here,
Speaker 3: a perfect one from the Wall Street Journals. William goalson today,
Speaker 3: the social security crisis is coming. This has been red
Speaker 3: flags weighed about the problems of social security now for
Speaker 3: years and years, our elected officials have never lifted a
Speaker 3: finger to solve the problem or correct it early. Now
Speaker 3: we've got a train wreck coming, he writes. Today's political
Speaker 3: den makes it difficult for genuine warning calls to break through.
Speaker 3: But the Social Security systems trustees in late June sent
Speaker 3: a signal so alarming that America can't ignore it unless
Speaker 3: lawmakers do something. The Systems Trust Fund will be exhausted
Speaker 3: in the first quarter of twenty thirty three, sooner than
Speaker 3: earlier reports predicted. This crisis will trigger large cuts in
Speaker 3: benefits to current and new beneficiaries. So, my folks on
Speaker 3: fixed incomes out there living on Social Security, big problem
Speaker 3: coming your way. To preserve social security, Congress will need
Speaker 3: to address the coming insolvency crisis no later than next
Speaker 3: the next president's first term. Time isn't on our siety, writes.
Speaker 3: Lawmakers acted tomorrow. Restoring social securities. Long term solvency would
Speaker 3: require a twenty two percent benefit cut for current and
Speaker 3: future beneficiaries and a payroll tax increased to sixteen percent
Speaker 3: from the current twelve or a combination of cuts and
Speaker 3: tax heights. If we wait until the trust FULM was
Speaker 3: depleted again twenty thirty three, we would have to cut
Speaker 3: benefits by twenty six percent or the payroll tax would
Speaker 3: have to rise to nearly seventeen percent. Points of new
Speaker 3: factors explained why social Security is on this trajectory. The
Speaker 3: US is rapidly aging the number of beneficiaries rising a
Speaker 3: lot faster than the number of workers paying into the system,
Speaker 3: and the end of this democratic transition is decades away.
Speaker 3: Just in two thousand, three point five million Americans eligible
Speaker 3: for Social Security. This year sixty four point seven, we
Speaker 3: went from twelve percent roughly the total eligible population to
Speaker 3: eighteen point six percent. It's on the rise, baby boomers,
Speaker 3: they say. By twenty thirty five, the SOI Security Trustee
Speaker 3: project the number of eligible Americans sixty five and order
Speaker 3: will rise to nearly twenty percent, while the total population
Speaker 3: and will increase by only five nobody's having babies anymore.
Speaker 3: Plus we're living longer, he writes, two thousand, average sixty
Speaker 3: five year olds could expect to live for about seventeen
Speaker 3: and a half years. By this year, it's risen to
Speaker 3: more than nineteen point seven years, and demographers project that
Speaker 3: figure is going to continue to go up. So security
Speaker 3: expenditures have risen from their fifty year average to a
Speaker 3: much more sizable amount of gross domestic product this year,
Speaker 3: this year, and even more of course, in twenty thirty five.
Speaker 3: Declining fertility means fewer workers to support each beneficiary. In
Speaker 3: two thousand and three point four workers per beneficiary. In
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four it was two point seven, and over
Speaker 3: the next day that's projected to drop down to two
Speaker 3: point three, which is why payroll taxes for current workers
Speaker 3: would have to increase so steeply by twenty thirty three
Speaker 3: to sustain the system without any benefit cuts. You can
Speaker 3: count on benefit cuts absolutely. That piece of paper, they say,
Speaker 3: and you read it carefully, the one that shows you
Speaker 3: what your earnings were over your lifetime and tells you
Speaker 3: what your suggested payout is going to be. They write
Speaker 3: right in that it's not a guarantee. It's merely a
Speaker 3: calculation based upon current conditions today. So I'm not sure
Speaker 3: if you're in a position to tighten your belt, but
Speaker 3: you better be prepared because this is coming. And isn't
Speaker 3: it crazy. They've known about this for such a long time.
Speaker 3: Every year they come out with these projections, it just
Speaker 3: gets worse and worse and more dire. But it's the
Speaker 3: third rail of politics. No one touches it. We're not
Speaker 3: going to do anything. This does is security, says everyone
Speaker 3: from both political stripes. Hey, you relied on it. I
Speaker 3: know you were forced to, But there's just a great
Speaker 3: illustration of the failure of government to mine the store
Speaker 3: and make the hard choices. Eight fifty five fifty five
