WEBVTT 1 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.199 Five o five at to give out k r C 2 00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:19.039 the talk station. Happy Friday Eve. 3 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:41.560 This is no crying baseball true. 4 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.799 Sorry for the pause there head to operate the cough button. 5 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.119 You know, the first utterances of my morning come at 6 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.439 five oh five when I say five five needed to 7 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.719 clear my throat. Didn't know that anyway. Happy Friday Eve 8 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.200 to your Thursday and a great opening day. I'm certain 9 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:05.000 it will be you. Optimistic Joe for the Reds. Yeah, 10 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:10.359 it's baseball season. That's true. There is no crying in baseball, 11 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.280 and there's of course no guarantee the Reds are going 12 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:13.879 to be successful this year, but we can all keep 13 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.079 our fingers crossed. What is coming up in the fifty 14 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:17.959 five kerr see morning show. I love when Todd Zenser 15 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.959 comes in the studio Citizen Watchdog former Inspector General Todd 16 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.920 Zendzer keeping his eye. He's the doge of Hamilton County 17 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:29.640 basically and most notably the city, and does wonderful work. 18 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.640 Citizens Watchdog is his podcast. I strongly encourage listeners, most 19 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.200 notably residents of the city of Cincinnati, to check that 20 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:41.480 podcast out. Todd is all over what's going on Shenanigan Shenanigan, 21 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.439 Shenanigan's Declaration, City fraud, waist and Abuse hotline. We have 22 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.840 a new sports arena discussion and who he supports for mayor. 23 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.519 Speaking of which, Corey Bowman is going to join the 24 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.400 program at eight oh five. Not in studio this time, 25 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.640 but we'll get his thoughts and comments about the debate 26 00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.879 the other day. How his campaign is going, and I 27 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.120 think his support is growing. And according to Westside Jim Keefer, 28 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.359 who did attended the debate, a lot of attention from 29 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.840 AFTAB Provoll focused far more on Corey Bowman than the 30 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.439 other so called Republican who's seeking the nomination of the 31 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.919 primary so primaries. I think it's pretty much foregone conclusion. 32 00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.680 If I was reading Tea Leaves, I would say we 33 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.240 have a race between Corey Bowman and AFTAB Proval. I 34 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.000 don't think I'm going on too much of a limit 35 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.319 suggesting that I heard media aviation expert Jay Ratliff. We 36 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.479 always look forward to talking to Jay. I enjoyed my 37 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.479 conversations with Jay. He's a really great guy, and of 38 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.120 course there's always something crazy going on in the world 39 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.319 of aviation, and every time I talk with him, I'm 40 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.360 I'm not afraid of flying. Conceptually, I understand the physics 41 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.080 of flying and how successful so many airplanes are in 42 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.280 taking off and landing without incident, apparently safer than driving 43 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.120 an automobile, especially these days people are crazy on the 44 00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:00.080 roads out there. But that being said, it's always like, 45 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:02.639 every time he gives me an update on something going 46 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:04.680 on in the world of aviation, it's just like one 47 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.039 more check mark on the fly don't fly division, it's 48 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.120 don't fly. So I've got a rule. If I can 49 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.719 get there, and I think I've extended it out of 50 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.159 eight hours, if I can drive someplace in eight hours 51 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.759 or less, I'm going to drive. Then again, I do 52 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:26.639 enjoy driving. I hate being stuck in the tin can. Anyhow, 53 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.680 I do love hearing from you, though five one, three, seven, four, nine, 54 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.840 fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three 55 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.680 talk found five fifty on at and T phones. A 56 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.360 lot going on in the world. Of course, there's plenty 57 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.599 to talk about this morning, but perhaps there is a 58 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.680 topic you would like to address, so feel free to 59 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.520 raise it here on the fifty five CARSNY Morning Show, 60 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.520 and also make sure you check out fifty five cars 61 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.840 dot com judge in and Apolotan on the history of 62 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.080 the freedom of speech. Got to take the good with 63 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.319 the bad, that's the bottom line on that one. We 64 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.080 talked wine tariffs yesterday with Keegan Corcoran and his well 65 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:05.120 vineyard owning a friend Thomas was his name, AFP Bernie 66 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.840 Mourinho rally. We learned about that for Americans for Prosperity 67 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.680 and the politics of envy. Excellent commentary as always by 68 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.520 our friend Jack Adad and he's a friend of everyone. 69 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.600 Brilliant Manny is in very thoughtful and insightful comments. So 70 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:20.199 if you didn't get a chance to listen to that live, 71 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.639 check it out. If you have cares dot comics, should 72 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.399 get your ieart media by your over there so you 73 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.800 can listen to those podcasts and stream all the iHeart 74 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.920 content real time. Just point like my wife is probably 75 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:35.600 doing right now. Anyhow, Good morning, real quick here, I 76 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.920 just go over the road closures because it is going 77 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:39.319 to be a bit of a mess downtown since I 78 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.160 of course the Opening Day parade. I just beloved Opening 79 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.439 Day Parade. It's one of the things you can put 80 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.360 a smile on your face about. It's a group of 81 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.199 people that get together, a diverse group of people, people 82 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.399 of all race, ethnicities, creeds, and income levels joining together 83 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.839 to celebrate Opening Day and having a good time. Hopefully 84 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.720 the weather holds, we'll have a nice day for it. 85 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:11.160 See here, showers are still possible after two pm. We're 86 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.720 going to be partly cloudy at fifty five at noontime 87 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.800 when the parade starts, and of course four to ten 88 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.959 for the first pitch, they're expecting cloudy skies. Fifteen percent 89 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.879 precipitation is what's in the forecast, so very limited likelihood 90 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.279 of rain, which is wonderful. But if you're going to 91 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.279 be going downtown as a lot of road closures, soon 92 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:33.480 as we'll get through those again. Parde starts at noon. 93 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:40.079 Streets will close beginning at eight a m. Fun fact 94 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.639 on that one Race Street closed between Liberty and mcmickon 95 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.160 Elm closed between Liberty, mcmick and Finley Street closed between 96 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.959 Central Parkway and Vine. Elder Street closed between Central and 97 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.680 Vine Green Street, between Vine and Logan, Henry between Race 98 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:57.959 and Dunlap. Dunlap closed between Finley and mcmickon Logan between 99 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:02.399 Liberty Street and Finley. Parde Route and Cross streets will 100 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.319 also close. Ahead of the parade beginning at eleven fifteen. 101 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.360 Make sure you get down there early, I think is 102 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.959 what's important to note about that. Now that I'm now 103 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.800 I'm stating the obvious, just a reminder though. Parade begins 104 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.240 at the intersection of Race and Liberty, then goes down 105 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.759 Race to Fifth. At Fifth, it goes east to the 106 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.439 demarcation area at Sentinel Street, where the route ends. Cross 107 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.040 streets that will close in addition to the prade route 108 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.399 eighth Street, Seventh, Sixth, Vine, Walnut, Maine, Sycamore, and Broadway, 109 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.439 said the City Center press release that access the downtown 110 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:43.040 hotels within the Parde route closures will be maintained. Access now, 111 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.040 I don't know if that means on foot or you'll 112 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.040 be able to take a vehicle to get to the hotel. 113 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.839 I strongly encourage folks to not consider taking a vehicle 114 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.279 anywhere near the played Parde route because you're probably not 115 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.759 going to get through. There are a whole bunch of 116 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.560 people that show up at that thing let's see here 117 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.680 and driving downtown for the game and celebrations. They suggest 118 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.279 checking out I seventy five South Freeman Avenue to exit 119 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:11.720 to Merrick seventy five North fifth Street exit, then right 120 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.800 on Central Avenue seventy one south take the Reading Road 121 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.920 exit to Eggleston, and I four seventy one Columbia Parkway 122 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.560 third Street exit to the Riverfront. They recommend using parking 123 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:31.839 facilities around the Riverfront and downtown to walk to the game. Also, 124 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:38.360 Cincinnati Metro offering free bus rides during all of opening Day, 125 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.959 so Metro is a freebe today. They will maintain service 126 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.759 during the faily Market parade. Some downtown stops obviously going 127 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:47.279 to be closed in the morning and afternoon because of 128 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.040 course the parade route stops include Government Square and other 129 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.759 downtown location. Streetcar service will begin after the parade, and 130 00:07:55.079 --> 00:08:00.800 so no streetcar today. Apparently all so happening on open 131 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.319 Day the Reds Community Fund block party that starts at 132 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:10.199 eleven in this morning, and streets will close at six pm. 133 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.240 Let's see these streets was Wednesday evening for the block party. 134 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.240 I guess that was yesterday. So anyhow, WCPO appreciate the 135 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:20.040 reporting on the street closures and that allowed me to 136 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.680 give my listeners advanced notice of what's going on. So 137 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.480 I think it's pretty safe to say not going to 138 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.040 be easy to get around downtown today unless you're walking, 139 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:28.439 and why not. 140 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:29.720 Good for you. 141 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.240 It's healthy, it's exercise, and you get to see all 142 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.320 the people, wonderful people watching opportunity which I thoroughly enjoy. 143 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:40.320 So let's hope we get a win today. That would 144 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:45.200 be a good thing. Start the season off right. Oh, 145 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.120 there's so many different places I can go. But anyway, 146 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:49.399 the big news this morning you here on top of 147 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.120 the hour, and the United Auto Workers are big fans 148 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.360 of Trump because he just imposed or he's imposing, a 149 00:08:55.399 --> 00:09:00.639 twenty five percent tariff on imported automobiles. And you know, 150 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.919 on the heels of the conversation yesterday with Keegan on 151 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.519 tariffs on wines, a very complicated issue here, I wonder 152 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.840 about the import automobile dealers and their struggles because, of course, 153 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.799 if a twenty five percent tariff on imported automobiles, that's 154 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.240 going to push them of buyers potentially over to domestic automobiles. 155 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.840 And that's exactly why the UAW is excited about that. 156 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:27.720 The statement UAW said, Trump's plans imposed this terrifying imported 157 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.240 auto is a continuation of his Made in America renaissance. 158 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.840 Their words and mark the beginning of the end of 159 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:38.200 the North American Free Trade Agreement. We applaud the Trump 160 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.080 administration for stepping up to end the free trade disaster 161 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.519 that has devastated working class communities for decades. Ending the 162 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:49.000 race to the bottom in the auto industry starts with 163 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.720 fixing our broken trade deals. And the Trump administration has 164 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.559 made history with today's actions. You draw your own conclusions 165 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.480 of whether that's a good thing or not, but you know, 166 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.200 you got to go back to the realc that we have. 167 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.799 It's an unfair playing field out there in the world. 168 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.360 We the United States of America, have made it very 169 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.840 complicated for manufacturing to exist in this country. Why we 170 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.399 have a lot of rules regulations, you know, of course, 171 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.679 the collective bargaining agreements with the unions. I get their argument. 172 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.200 They get together in an effort to you know, be 173 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.440 able to create a level playing field with management, to 174 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.360 get better terms of conditions. But that of course increases 175 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.399 the salaries that are paid the unions. Unions have a 176 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.879 lot of stupid rules in place which increase the cost 177 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.519 of doing business. And that's just through the collective bargaining agreements. 178 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.720 So there's one reason it's more expensive to build cars 179 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.480 here in America. But then pivot over to the rules 180 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.720 and regulations. You got Osha, you got environmental regulations, you 181 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.159 got all these different regulations that also drive up the cost. 182 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:50.519 Do they have those in Mexico? No, at least far fewer. 183 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:50.960 Now. 184 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.000 I wouldn't want to set up shop in Mexico given 185 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:57.960 the insanely stupid and out of control system of government 186 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.679 they had there and the overrunning of their country and 187 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.720 control by drug cartels. It's a violent country. Politicians have 188 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.480 very little leverage over the violent cartels because if they 189 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.960 step up and try to stop them, they usually end 190 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.399 up dead. So it's a downwards spiral there. And of course, 191 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.639 if you've got employees that are going to and from 192 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.559 work in a manufacturing facility in Mexico, they face challenges 193 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.799 and have to deal with that. Standard of living is 194 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.360 probably much lower there, but it's a lot cheaper to 195 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.679 manufacture things there because they don't have any of the 196 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.000 previously the previous shortlist I gave you to deal with. 197 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:43.720 So taxing cars imported from elsewhere, and you know, when 198 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.519 I think a car is coming from the European Union. 199 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.919 They have heavy regulations, rules and obligations and everything like that. 200 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:50.559 They have to deal with even more so in terms 201 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.799 of the environmental environmental rules, which creates less options for 202 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.240 the consumer. I know Germany is struggling with this because 203 00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.759 of the environmental rules and not making internal combustion engines 204 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.720 any more. I mean, you look at Porsches and you think, well, 205 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.679 that was a car that was built on the eternal 206 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:09.519 combustion engine. Got a great reputation. They are well world 207 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.360 renowned for their performance and handling. Now they've got to 208 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:16.519 make them all electric and nobody wants to buy them. 209 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.639 So problem for you know, manufacturers in Europe. But hey, 210 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.720 you pivot over to manufacturers in Mexico or China, We're 211 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.279 now going to be worried about electric vehicles coming from China. 212 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.320 Now they'll be twenty five percent more, I suppose. But 213 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.159 they have zero world that they do whatever the hell 214 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.240 they want. They also have slave labor and they don't 215 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:36.600 pay employees very much, so there isn't eleven level playing 216 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:38.399 field out there. So you try to create a level 217 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.480 playing field by just making them imported cars more expensive 218 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.279 simply because they're less expensive to build elsewhere. And with 219 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.919 global corporations, obviously, if you're an executive at a corporation. 220 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.399 You're think, how do we increase profit, improve shareholder profitability. 221 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.960 If it was easier to build a car and cheaper 222 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.240 to build a car, we can make more profit. Huh, Well, 223 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.360 it's expensive to do it here in America. Let's build 224 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.240 a factory elsewhere. And that's been going on for decades. 225 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:10.720 That's how we lost so much manufacturing. Ignoring tariffs, the 226 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.679 playing field is not level at all. We've created a 227 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:18.399 situation in this country that makes it simply more expensive 228 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.360 to build literally anything or do literally literally anything. So 229 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:27.159 I'm not sure if this is ultimately going to work out. 230 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.720 The head of the Labors of UAW President Sean Fain, said, 231 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:34.759 ending the race of the bottom lust include securing union 232 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.279 rights for auto workers everywhere with a strong national labor 233 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:44.759 relations board, a decent retirement with social Security benefits protected. 234 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.879 Underscore that word, healthcare for all workers, including through Medicare 235 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:53.159 and Medicaid, and dignity on and off the job. Well 236 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.840 that's great, mister Fane, but if you take just that 237 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.559 one program out of his sentence, social security, it's a 238 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.440 train wreck, and our elected officials aren't doing anything about 239 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.039 it because we can all get freaked out. Oh, my god, 240 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:08.200 they're going to touch social Security. We can't have that. 241 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:13.519 It's a train wreck. It's falling apart. There's not enough 242 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.519 money coming in to pay the benefits going out. We've 243 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.000 known about this for years and years and years and years. 244 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.519 Now here's a union representative. They could have had a 245 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.039 pension program, and they could have funded a pension program 246 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:27.000 and not have to worry about Social Security and whether 247 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.440 or not it's going to continue to provide benefits. But 248 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.200 just saying out loud that we need decent retirement with 249 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.799 social security benefits protected, fine, it makes a great statement. 250 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:39.960 But will our elected officials do something to ensure that 251 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.559 they are protected with social security benefits. I haven't touch 252 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.600 Medicare and Medicaid, and I got this terrible, terrible news 253 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.600 for you. On Medicare and Medicaid. We got a real 254 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.240 problem on our hands. Those are the three programs that 255 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.759 are bringing us to our financial collapse. 256 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.840 And relying on them. 257 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.879 And you could say that the greatest programs in the world, 258 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:05.399 and I won't argue with you on that, But our 259 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:10.519 elected officials are having duty and obligation finuciary, ethical, moral 260 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.159 for the fiscal stability of our country to make sure 261 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:18.559 that those programs do not collapse. Our entire fiscal structure 262 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.399 will collapse if something isn't done about those three programs. Something. 263 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.759 And they never touch him. And there's Donald Trump, Love him, 264 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.360 hate him, say what you want about him, but he 265 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.799 always keeps saying I'm not touching it. I'm not going 266 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.440 to do anything because he knows if he utters the 267 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.639 words we need to do something to fix the problem, 268 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.080 his poll numbers will collapse, which actually I think is 269 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.039 a reflection of America's stupidity about the financial reality of 270 00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.360 these programs and where they're leading us. Hate to be 271 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.679 the bearer of bad news, but it's just simply a 272 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:53.720 statement of fact. Five twenty fifty five kosit talks, stations, 273 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:55.519 stick around, play more to talk about, hope you can 274 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.320 and feel free to call if there's something you want 275 00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.519 to talk about, be right back. 276 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:04.720 This is fifty five two to three talk pound five 277 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.519 fifty on AT and T phones. 278 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.120 I met all these talks about cutting this, cutting that, 279 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.960 getting rid of this, getting rider that. I just have 280 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.000 to wonder out loud, why in the hell do we 281 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:20.559 pay for national public radio? I mean, it's a legitimate question, 282 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.120 is it not. It started out a long time ago, 283 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.399 when the world had much fewer news outlets, and I 284 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.200 guess they felt it was necessary to fund an NPR 285 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.600 who governs the content of NPR, Individuals, editors, people that 286 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.200 are in charge of NPR, and they decide which direction 287 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:39.440 the organization is going to go, exactly the way independent 288 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:43.360 media is. But you've got so many outlets for news 289 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.559 these days, why is it the American taxpayer has to 290 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:50.600 fund what isn't an obviously openly objectively left wing propaganda 291 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:56.879 arm for the basically the Democrats and NPR CEO Katherine 292 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:01.720 Mara Mayer was, you know, did testimony yesterday and admitted that, 293 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.880 among other things, they well, of course covered up the 294 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:12.319 Hunter Biden laptop story, grilled by House Republicans because Doge 295 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.640 is recommended, you know, shutting this thing down. She's speaking 296 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.799 with In response, Representative Michael Cloud from Texas, I do 297 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.160 want to say that MPR acknowledges we were mistaken in 298 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.880 failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptops during more aggressive 299 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:30.759 and sooner And the sooner part is what's important there, 300 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.640 because one of the Hunter Biden laptops come out right 301 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.599 before the election, and what happened then fifty one really 302 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.960 qualified people, experts in national security and former intelligence officers. 303 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.000 This has all the earmarks of well Russian interference in 304 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.359 the election. They were suggesting it was a lie, it 305 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.839 was a fake, but you know it wasn't our own 306 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.519 people in government, the FBI knew that it was real, 307 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:54.720 and they knew it was real months before this thing broke. 308 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:58.039 And yet the administration organized this letter, and I'm sure 309 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.559 NPR reported on the letter a sing at all his 310 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.319 Russian collusion, so perpetuating lies on behalf of the Biden 311 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.880 administration to make sure he got elected, and you paid 312 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:13.559 for that. I mean, I don't think taxpayer dollars go 313 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.359 over to CNN or MSNBC. They'll sink or swim on 314 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:20.160 their own based on advertising revenue and whether people watch 315 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.880 it or not. And fear and fewer people are watching 316 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.119 it why because American public woke up to the fact 317 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.400 that it's just a bunch of propaganda and people aren't 318 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.319 interested in just consuming left wing propaganda to the exclusion 319 00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:33.759 of all the other accurate information that is out there 320 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.480 and available to report on. Neutral, independent fact reporting is 321 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.799 what reporters are supposed to do. NPR is merely an 322 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:47.680 editorial outlet for left wing left leaning I argue propaganda, 323 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:55.160 so let's not pay for it anymore. Okay, But they 324 00:18:55.160 --> 00:19:01.799 did back around the corner on a lot of things anyhow. 325 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:07.079 And it's just a tiny slice of spending I know, 326 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.559 And everything the doge is exposed, and everything they've endeavored 327 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.799 to cut off in spite of whatever court order prevents 328 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:19.160 them from cutting off stupid things. It all adds up 329 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:22.400 to very little when you compare it to the problems 330 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.480 we are facing, as I mentioned a moment ago, with 331 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:28.079 Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and the national debt and 332 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:32.519 the debt service on it. They're getting ready to downgrade 333 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:38.839 our credit rating because of the fiscal strength in our 334 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.920 country deteriorating. Moody's issued a warning about that, just I 335 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:46.160 believe it was yesterday. Great, all the red flags flying 336 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:48.559 and waving they have been for years and years, and 337 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.640 not a finger lifted to correct the problem. We have 338 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.559 a spending problem, and a massive one. Five twenty seven 339 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.599 it's five ks deetalk station local stories. I prefer hearing 340 00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.519 from you, so feel free to call Bud. Either way, 341 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.079 we'll go. We will continue after these brief words. 342 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:05.400 Fifty five KRC dot com. What's up everyone at. 343 00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:10.839 See the talk station. Friday Eve reminder, we're gonna be 344 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:16.640 a listener lunch next week. Barleycorn's Wilder, Kentucky location. Pretty 345 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:20.799 convenient actually either I think four to seventy one or 346 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:24.519 is it seventy one anyhow, not that difficult to get to, 347 00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:26.720 and everybody says it's a really great place. I've never 348 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:31.039 been there, but it'll definitely be great in terms of 349 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:33.759 the fellowship, which I always find to be the just 350 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:36.599 most of the best part about listening to lunches. We 351 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.480 usually try to pick a good spot. We've been doing 352 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:42.640 the micro brew Tour, the brewery tour this year. We 353 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.160 may DEVI eight from that. I've talked to the lady 354 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.640 that I have to take care of setting up listener lunches. 355 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.759 At one point may end up at Jim and Jacks. 356 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:51.480 My friends at Jim and Jacks have been asking us 357 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:53.960 to show back up, so I thought maybe we'll do 358 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.440 that as we get closer to the election, so beyond 359 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.039 that next week. Schedule for it usually started about eleven 360 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.880 thirty Barli Corns Wilder, Kentucky location. Looking forward to seeing 361 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:05.640 my friends in the Commonwealth. It's been a while since 362 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.680 we've been there, and my apologies for not making it 363 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:12.920 over more often. Anyhow, we got local stories here.

Women in her 553 00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.640 thirties run over via a vehicle after an argument with 554 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:23.279 a driver about saving an open parking spot. Winnipeg Police 555 00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:25.519 Service responded to a report of a motor vehicle collision 556 00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:31.480 involving a pedestrian in a parking lot Saint James Street, 557 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:36.440 two thirty in the afternoon. Victims standing in an unoccupied 558 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.000 parking spot to save it for a family member who 559 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:42.039 was driving through a lot at a recreational facility. The 560 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.599 woman waited for them to drive up, and then a 561 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:48.319 separate vehicle showed up first. The driver began arguing with 562 00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:50.880 the woman and proceeded to drive into the stall, knocking 563 00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:54.680 her to the ground. Women became trapped under the front 564 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.599 tires of the SUV before the driver left. Quote with 565 00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.880 no concern clothes. Quote for the victim women taking to 566 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:03.559 the hospital and the stable condition with lower body injuries, 567 00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:05.440 please say. They arrested a forty year old woman and 568 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.279 charged her with assault with a weapon and driving carelessly 569 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:17.000 under the highway traffic act. I know you're tempted to 570 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.680 do that, now are what are the if you're a 571 00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:24.200 human being standing in a parking lot, isn't that a 572 00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.559 parking store? Isn't that considered occupied, or do you have 573 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.880 an obligation ethically and morally to move away and allow 574 00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:35.200 someone else to park there If you know your friend's 575 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.880 car is coming or your relatives car is coming and 576 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.440 you've just secured the spot with your body, isn't that 577 00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:44.160 the same thing as the car getting there first? Yeah, 578 00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:50.200 there's that, and probably all to avoid walking in additional 579 00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.160 fifteen or twenty feet because you know there's another parking 580 00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:59.319 spot right right down the lane there. All right, we'll 581 00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.240 go to Southet Little Highway and how a teen is 582 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:05.279 accused of causing major damage to a McDonald's manager's suv. 583 00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:07.039 So how are you doing? 584 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.480 Seventeen year old boy banned from a McDonald's location after 585 00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:14.079 allegedly causing extensive damage to the car. Media outlet there, 586 00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:17.559 reported Cleveland dot com. The authorities were called McDonald's on 587 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:20.840 South Euclid about almost six pm March tenth, after officers 588 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.280 received the port of a teenager breaking out the windows 589 00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.719 of the car. Police arrived and the scene found extensive 590 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:28.760 damage had been done to the vehicle's body and windows, 591 00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:32.159 but could not locate the suspect, who was identified by 592 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:35.239 several students in the area. Manager of the location told 593 00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.800 the officers that the teen had entered the restaurant with 594 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.719 a metal object in his hand and threatened to fight him. 595 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:46.320 The authorities contact of the teen's mom. She reportedly told 596 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.920 police that he had likely damaged the SUV because he 597 00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:52.480 was upset over something the manager had done to his sister. 598 00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:56.480 Earlier in the day. Police informed a woman that the 599 00:34:56.480 --> 00:35:00.760 teen had been banned from the business and that charges 600 00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:06.119 would be filed in juvenile court. He also hit with 601 00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:09.800 trespass charges several days later after he returned to McDonald's 602 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:13.239 but left before the police arrived on the scene. He's 603 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.360 been charged with criminal damaging and menacing. 604 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:20.800 Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots, no doubt about him. 605 00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.400 Scheduled trip to a near driver's license in South Florida 606 00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:27.880 apparently highly sought, so highly sought after that you would 607 00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.760 think it's like trying to get a ticket to a 608 00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:33.760 concert that sold out. Anyway. The Miami Dade County Tax 609 00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:36.400 Collector's Office announced earlier this week that had uncovered a 610 00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:42.280 network of scalpers who hoarded free DMV appointments and resold 611 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.559 them for up to two hundred and fifty bucks. What 612 00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:53.800 apparently get an appointment to the DMV such a problematic 613 00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:57.199 experience of drivers were willing to pay to avoid it 614 00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:00.559 in the first place. It's a free service. Scoppers a 615 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:03.960 massed appointments using bots and fake accounts to exploit an 616 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.920 online system. Tax collector's office. By the two hundred suspicious 617 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.440 appointments in the first three weeks after opening the new 618 00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:15.159 downtown Miami location for the DMV service agency headed sites 619 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.960 set on individuals who are part of a local driving school, 620 00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:23.400 driving schools and suspects in well clogging up the DMV system. 621 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.119 Miami Dade County tax Collector DEWO. Fernandez said in a 622 00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:28.679 release that, well, we know who they are and how 623 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:32.679 they operate. We will not accept any appointment obtained through 624 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:35.760 system abuse. Our office is committed to ensuring that all 625 00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:38.719 residents have a fair and equal access to service without 626 00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:41.519 interference from those seeking to exploit the system. You know, 627 00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:45.559 it's interesting because a very similar thing was occurring apparently 628 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:52.199 with popular restaurant reservations. People are using bots to make 629 00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:56.960 reservations that highly sought after restaurants and then selling those 630 00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:01.920 reservations to people. So techn lot of technology abuse something 631 00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:04.960 what arresting me for what I'm not allowed to stand 632 00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:05.800 up for myself. 633 00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.119 I thought this was America. Is this America? 634 00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:15.920 I'm sorry, I thought this was America's. 635 00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.639 Funny to talk about the six o'clock hour. Feel free 636 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:17.079 to call. I would love to talk to you. Five 637 00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:19.639 one three, seven fifty eight hundred and eight two to 638 00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:20.920 three talk be right back after the. 639 00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:23.920 News covering Trump's first one hundred days. 640 00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:29.320 Every day America's deadline is over fifty five dr see 641 00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:30.360 the Fox. 642 00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:33.159 State buck station and it is Friday eighty. I'm very 643 00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:34.760 happy one to you. I always enjoy it. For no 644 00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:38.000 other reason. I heard me. Aviation expert Jay Ratliff's coming on. 645 00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:39.679 Got a lot of things to talk about with Jay 646 00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:41.480 this morning. That'll take place at eight thirty, as it 647 00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:44.719 does every Thursday. Corey Bowman from Ericory's gonna call in 648 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.800 the show at eight oh five. We'll talk about the 649 00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:49.719 debate and how his campaign's going. Thank You's a good 650 00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:53.840 guy and a refreshing alternative from the well. How many 651 00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:56.440 decades now have Democrats been running the city of Cincinnati. 652 00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:00.239 Uh oh, And here's a suggestion. Since Todd's Zen is 653 00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:01.599 going to join the program in an hour, he'll be 654 00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:05.679 in studio former Inspector General and watch dog for the 655 00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:10.679 taxpayers and citizens generally in Cincinnati as well as Hamilton County. 656 00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:13.880 We'll be talking about cities fraud, waste and abuse hotline. 657 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:16.920 I guess there is one of those. I talk about 658 00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:19.519 the new sports arena, the ideas being talked about, but 659 00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:23.519 we don't have any money to build one, and his 660 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:25.719 thoughts on who he is in favor of and support 661 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.760 for mayor. So I think it's going to come down 662 00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:29.679 to Cory Bowman and have to have pro ball. That's 663 00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:32.480 my bet and I'd put all my money in on 664 00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:36.679 that outcome. Anyway, that's the rundown for today. Five one, three, seven, four, 665 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:38.960 nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three 666 00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:41.880 talk pound five to fifty on AT and T funds anyway, 667 00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:44.239 since apparently it is a city fraud waste abuse hotline 668 00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.199 and I read this article, it was either earlier this 669 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:50.119 week or last week. Yeah, you're supposed to be able 670 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:52.280 to get reimbursed for damage done to your car by 671 00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:56.960 hitting potholes, but that's only if the city has neglected 672 00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.440 the road and not dealt with or recently addressed pothole 673 00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.119 situation after it's been called in and so not a 674 00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:06.679 single claim has been paid because the city claims, well, 675 00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:09.840 we were recently there and we recently dealt with the pothole. 676 00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:12.199 So it sucks to be you. I think that's boiled 677 00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:15.239 down the final analysis. That's it. So going back to 678 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.960 my favorite road, the war torn Sunset, somebody gets if 679 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.079 your car is damage when you drive it on Sutset, 680 00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.079 calling a claim and ask the reimbursement for it, because 681 00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:28.000 there is no way in hell they can claim that 682 00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:32.519 they have addressed the situation on Sunset recently, I mean 683 00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:39.079 decades anyhow. So bad news in the for our US 684 00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:42.559 government and US government's fiscal strength is deteriorating as they 685 00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:46.480 talk about extending the debt ceiling, which is barely going 686 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:49.719 to have to be done sooner rather than later. Moody's 687 00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:53.760 Rating issued a report on Tuesday this week. Our fiscal 688 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.159 strength deteriorating is a trend of larger budget deficits and 689 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:01.559 mounting debt continues. They say, our fiscal health is worsened 690 00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:06.079 in the time since it's lowered its outlook on the 691 00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:11.079 country's Triple A credit rating back in November of twenty three, independently, 692 00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:15.599 Fitch cut the US credit rating one tier from Triple 693 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:18.159 A down to Double A plus and twenty twenty three 694 00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:21.840 over fiscal challenges and debt limit to brinkmanship, which I 695 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:25.840 think refers to those, you know, extraordinary measures that we 696 00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:28.719 have to go through and the government shutdown anyway. Standard 697 00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.280 and Poors did so after the twenty eleven debt limit 698 00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:34.960 crisis that spurred a partial government shutdown. So all the 699 00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:37.880 credit agencies are coming through the cold dose cold water 700 00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:44.039 reality realization that while we suck now compared to the 701 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:45.559 rest of the world, maybe we don't suck as much, 702 00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:47.760 but we got a spending problem. Moody's road. Even in 703 00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:52.440 a very positive and low probability economic and financial scenario, 704 00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:56.519 debt affordability remains materially weaker than for other triple A 705 00:40:56.639 --> 00:41:01.320 rated and highly rated sovereigns. Other people, I guess have 706 00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.199 their fiscal house in order much better than we do. 707 00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.960 Moody's projected the ratio of public debt to gross domestic product, 708 00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:11.480 a metric favored by economists and determining government debt relative 709 00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:13.880 to the size of the economy, will rise from nearly 710 00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:17.400 one hundred percent this year to about one hundred and 711 00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:22.239 thirty percent in twenty thirty five, interest payments accounting for 712 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:25.280 thirty percent of revenue by twenty thirty five. That's the 713 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.960 trillions of dollars in a hole that we've dug ourselves 714 00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:34.320 because of overspending. It was nine percent in twenty twenty one. 715 00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:40.119 Think about that. Your credit card payment is consuming thirty 716 00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:45.639 percent of all the money you take in household. Cannot 717 00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:48.840 survive on that, now, can they? And how can our 718 00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:53.599 nations go? How can our government? It can't. Moody said, 719 00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:56.400 we see diminished prospects of this time and that these 720 00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:00.000 strengths will continue to offset widening fiscal deficits and decline 721 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:03.679 debt affordability because of the need for bipartisan support. Here's 722 00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:07.599 an observation which would cut against many Republican and Democrat 723 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:12.760 politicians' pledges to leave mandatory spending programs like Social Security, Medicare, 724 00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:17.000 Medicaid untouched. Moody said, large spending cuts would be difficult 725 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:21.239 to implement. That's the target right there. There is the 726 00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:25.960 challenge right there, the three social welfare spending plans. Now, 727 00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:31.599 let's turn over to Medicaid. Interesting analysis. Taxpayers spent billions 728 00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:34.519 covering the same Medicaid patients twice. Article from the Wall 729 00:42:34.519 --> 00:42:38.199 Street Journals health insurers got double paid by Medicaid for 730 00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:42.599 the coverage of hundreds of thousands of patients across the country. 731 00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:46.039 Insurers are paid by state and federal governments to cover 732 00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:51.199 low income Medicaid recipients. Right collected at least four point 733 00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:55.119 three billion dollars over three years for patients who were 734 00:42:55.280 --> 00:43:00.199 enrolled and paid for in other states. Patients sign up 735 00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:02.679 for Medicaid in two states at once in many cases 736 00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:05.480 following a move from one state to another, most getting 737 00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:08.559 all of their healthcare service through one insurer in one state, 738 00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:11.599 even though Medicaid was paying insurers in both states to 739 00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:16.960 cover them. Private insurers oversee Medicaid benefits for more than 740 00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:20.880 seventy percent of the seventy two million low income and 741 00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.239 disabled people that are in the program. Companies get paid 742 00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:26.880 each month for each person they cover. They aren't supposed 743 00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:29.039 to get paid of a patient lease for another state, 744 00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:35.079 but they do. Medicaid Medicare together cost taxpayers more than 745 00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:39.519 one point eight trillion dollars every single year. Biggest Medicaid 746 00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:44.239 insurer Centa received six hundred and twenty million dollars in 747 00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.800 double payments between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty one, the 748 00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:49.840 three years that were analyzed by the Wall Street Journal, 749 00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:52.280 and you can know that problem hasn't gone away since then. 750 00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:55.480 Elevant's Health an extra three hundred and forty six million dollars, 751 00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:58.079 United Health Group two hundred and ninety eight million dollars 752 00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:04.599 extra double payments received. Apparently, individual states design their own 753 00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:08.320 Medicaid programs, following federal guidelines and setting rules on who 754 00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:10.559 will be eligible and what services are going to be covered. 755 00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:13.760 US government covers more than half the cost. States are 756 00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:17.239 responsible for monitoring whether people qualify for benefits, including conducting 757 00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:20.800 yearly eligibility checks for most people. Is that being done? 758 00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:25.360 I probably? I'm thinking not. They say. Government guidelines stipulate 759 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:27.920 that if Medicaid recipients moved to another state, they are 760 00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:30.840 supposed to cancel their coverage in the former state when 761 00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:33.559 the signing up to the new one, which often gives 762 00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:36.719 them a different insurer. But the recipients don't always cancel, 763 00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:41.280 and the states apparently don't lift a finger to follow 764 00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:43.440 up and find out who's legitimately on the roles and 765 00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:47.519 who's not. And you'd think in these modern times, with 766 00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:51.639 artificial intelligence and multiple systems being connected, and the ability 767 00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:53.920 of states to communicate with each other and play nicely 768 00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:57.800 together and avoid these expenditures, thus saving the American tax 769 00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.599 payer billions of dollars in a program that is set 770 00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:02.639 up like a house of cards and destined to fail, 771 00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:05.400 leading US further in the hole every single year because 772 00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:08.480 Congress refuses to act that they might do something about it. 773 00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:12.039 But I'll know, these insurance companies obviously have no incentive 774 00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:14.480 whatsoever to clean up the roles and make sure they're 775 00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:17.400 not getting dumb. Oh look, we're getting extra payment. Why 776 00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:24.400 if you're an insurance company responsible like SENTA or Sentien CNTNY. 777 00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:29.880 This first time I ever heard of the place, And 778 00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:32.519 you're getting paid every single year for someone that you 779 00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:39.519 report as eligible to receive Medicaid, you getting less money 780 00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:44.880 if you take them off the eligibility roles. Wouldn't you well, 781 00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:48.639 why would you bother? Why would you bother to look 782 00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:54.280 at it? The states clearly don't care now for the 783 00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:56.480 insurance for their parts that it's up to states to 784 00:45:56.599 --> 00:46:00.199 verify people's eligibility and to disenroll them if necessary. Well, okay, 785 00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:08.760 it's a state's fault. Medicare and Medicaid agency doesn't screen 786 00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:11.960 for the double payments, leaving that to the states to do. 787 00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:16.119 State officials say identifying people who moved is difficult. On 788 00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:19.599 that recoveries of improper payments from managed care companies are 789 00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:23.960 limited because state agencies often don't realize Medicaid recipients have 790 00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:27.400 moved until their annual eligibility checks. Managed care companies can 791 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.519 collect monthly payments before a patient is dropped off the roles. 792 00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:35.760 Obviously a financial incentive to ignore the problem that exists. 793 00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:38.679 And this is just double payments, folks, that they cleaned 794 00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:40.679 up the roles and got the ranks, just like Social 795 00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:44.199 Security is doing now under Evil Doge and Evil Elon Musker. 796 00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:51.280 It's easy to commit fraud, it's easy to collect payments. 797 00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:56.440 What incentive do you have? Your profitability goes up when 798 00:46:56.480 --> 00:46:59.079 you ignore the reality and then someone no longer lives 799 00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:06.840 in the state. Sounds like the system is structurally designed 800 00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:12.400 to encourage and incentivize this, doesn't it.

I am in Independence and I'm looking forward 855 00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.039 to listener love. I think it's on the double A 856 00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:05.800 Highway that Barley Corns and Wilder. 857 00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:08.760 That was what I was trying to think of, because 858 00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:10.719 it's you can get to it from four to seventy 859 00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:13.559 one was an exit that makes it really convenient double 860 00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:15.920 A Highway. Also, it's not that difficult to get to. 861 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:18.559 I'm just pointing that out for my Ohio listeners who 862 00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:21.199 are like, wait a minute, Wilder, Kentucky, where's that. Well, 863 00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:25.760 it's it's really really convenient for everyone from the major expressways. 864 00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:30.199 It is, and I mean it's a fairly new establishment, 865 00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:31.960 maybe in the last year or two it was built, 866 00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:35.159 and a lot of outdoor seatings, so hopefully the weather 867 00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:38.559 is going to be good. I went to a listener 868 00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:40.559 lunch about a year ago, so this will be my 869 00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:44.280 second one. I'm sure you remember meeting me. I'm the 870 00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:46.239 guy that shook your hand and said I like your 871 00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:48.159 show a lot. So I mean, I'm sure I made 872 00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:52.480 a big impact on you. You remember that, right, He 873 00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:53.559 ever said? Nothing ever? 874 00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:54.880 Does that eat? 875 00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:57.000 First time that's ever happened, Steve? Of course. 876 00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:01.119 Well, and I know you told one time somebody asked 877 00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:03.480 for your autograph and you felt really funny, So I 878 00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:05.079 might you. 879 00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:07.760 Know whatever, But yeah, I am really. 880 00:51:11.119 --> 00:51:13.679 You're like one of the family. You're not a celebrity. 881 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:15.400 You don't let anything go to your head. 882 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.880 There never ever ever gonna happen. 883 00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:22.760 And I'm actually going to bring my lovely spouse this time. 884 00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:27.000 You might remember me. I might. I we might make 885 00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:29.320 more of an impact than I did. 886 00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:33.199 That's certainly possible. I imagine, Steve, because you called him before 887 00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:35.960 and we've had conversations before. You seem like a bright guy. 888 00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.360 I imagine you outkicked your coverage as. 889 00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:42.840 Most definitely, and that seems to be the theme with 890 00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.800 a lot of people that talk to you, and yourself included. 891 00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:53.519 Oh well, what I wanted to just comment on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, 892 00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:58.840 the big three that no politician touches, and whenever they've 893 00:51:58.840 --> 00:52:02.280 talked about the massive debt in this country, you are 894 00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:07.159 really not permitted to touch those because promises made and 895 00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.199 you know, in other words, commitments were made. People paid 896 00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:13.159 into the programs to a large degree, certainly on Social 897 00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:17.960 Security and Medicare anyway, maybe you know, not Medicaid, but 898 00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:21.079 you really aren't supposed to touch those. And they would 899 00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:24.400 always say, there's only so even somebody who's trying to 900 00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:29.239 fix the broken system only has so much to work 901 00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:32.840 with because of these major commitments of money that go 902 00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:37.599 to those three programs. But if you look at the fraud, waste, 903 00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:40.639 and abuse, I'm going to make up a number and 904 00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:43.599 it might be realistic. You might be able to cut 905 00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:48.039 each one of those programs twenty five percent, just making 906 00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:52.079 it and not screwing anybody out of any money. Exactly, 907 00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:57.280 accept people builking the system. That is like a you know, 908 00:52:57.679 --> 00:53:00.800 the just a glimmer of hope for us. There is 909 00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:04.039 a chance to get us, you know, a little more 910 00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:09.159 fiscally correct in the way we operate, just by saving 911 00:53:09.239 --> 00:53:13.400 those programs, and there is hope. So hopefully, you know, 912 00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:15.480 we get in there and they get cleaned up and 913 00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:18.880 everybody gets what they're entitled to, but we quit wasting 914 00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:20.360 the money. Wouldn't that be nice? 915 00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:22.840 It would be a beautiful thing, and that should be 916 00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:27.400 the mindset of everyone in government. Efficiency ZIP and getting 917 00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:31.039 rid of fraud and being responsible stewards for the dollars 918 00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:33.519 that they take from us. It's you know, if it 919 00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:35.920 was a private business and with shareholders they were dealing with, 920 00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:37.840 they would have that fiscal are they would have that 921 00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:41.679 fiduciary obligation, you know, maximize profit. And one of the 922 00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:44.840 ways of doing that is minimizing waste in the company, 923 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:49.599 streamlining processes, making the company more profitable. In the case 924 00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:51.960 of government, they aren't there to earn profit, they're there 925 00:53:51.960 --> 00:53:54.960 to take it. They don't have any reason to provide 926 00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:58.360 efficiency because they know they're going to get the tax 927 00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:02.280 dollars regardless of how or stupid they are. They just 928 00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:04.519 continue to grow and grow, and grow, and I've got 929 00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:07.719 some great illustrations. The DOGE has found more billions of 930 00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:12.920 dollars for insane programs. How is it that you and 931 00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:17.079 I end up funding things that seems so absolutely facially 932 00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:23.559 ridiculous because there's no accountability six twenty five fifty five 933 00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:25.440 care se detalk station.

You're 1050 01:00:26.760 --> 01:00:29.519 still paying for, obviously, the fuel, maintenance, upkeep, and the 1051 01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:33.599 salaries for the people operating the bus. So everyone likes 1052 01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:37.199 to point out there is no free launch and let 1053 01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:40.639 us see Evanston Rebinson residents described as unhappy after a 1054 01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:43.000 plan to help block noise from traffic on Ice seventy 1055 01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:47.199 one has been canceled. Multiple residents talking with WCPO reporting 1056 01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:51.360 on this thank You Jay Shacker, asking for answers on 1057 01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:53.280 the status of the project. They said they've been waiting 1058 01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:56.039 and wondering about it while dealing with the ongoing noise 1059 01:00:56.079 --> 01:00:58.639 from the interstate. Residents had hoped some kind of barrier 1060 01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:00.880 would be built like the one they have in Kentucky. 1061 01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:04.000 This state installed its first transparent noise screening panel as 1062 01:01:04.039 --> 01:01:06.400 part of the project near I seventy one and seventy five. 1063 01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:11.719 One local resident describing the noise as horrible. So CBO 1064 01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:14.559 asked a High Department of Transportation about it, and ODOT 1065 01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:18.400 spokesperson Kathleen Fuller told them the project, yes, was canceled. 1066 01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:20.880 She said the cancelation comes down to two reasons. The 1067 01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:25.800 project is considered not quote economically reasonable, close quote and odd, 1068 01:01:25.880 --> 01:01:29.519 also citing lack of participation and advocacy from the Evanston 1069 01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:33.679 Community Council. Community Council one of the groups that can 1070 01:01:33.800 --> 01:01:37.039 initiate a petition to the state to the state to 1071 01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:41.000 get this type of project going. Noise level in the 1072 01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:43.519 area hits approximately seventy six decibels near the stretch of 1073 01:01:43.519 --> 01:01:45.840 Ice seventy one by one of the residents they interviews 1074 01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:49.239 home the equivalent to noise a garbage disposal or washing 1075 01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:56.599 machine makes, But of course, as CPO points out, a 1076 01:01:56.760 --> 01:02:01.960 disposal only makes noise when you're using it. They did 1077 01:02:02.039 --> 01:02:04.719 reach out to the Evanston Community Council, which CPO said, 1078 01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:09.440 haven't heard back from him yet. We go to Winton 1079 01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:12.119 Hills where a couple of people are being are hospitalized 1080 01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:15.320 after a late afternoon shooting.

Surveillance of the shooting that 1088 01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:40.079 was provided to Fox nineteen reporting on this props shows 1089 01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:43.480 at least two gunmen firing again more than twelve As 1090 01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:45.719 the shooting breaks out. The first victim is seen falling 1091 01:02:45.760 --> 01:02:47.400 to the ground.

Over to the phone, 1159 01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:11.880 so I five went three two three talk Edwin, Thanks 1160 01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:15.280 for calling this morning, welcome to the program. Oh, thank 1161 01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:17.119 you very much. Good morning to you and everyone. 1162 01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:19.119 I just had a quick question. 1163 01:06:20.679 --> 01:06:23.800 When when the Wuhan stuff started a long time ago 1164 01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.719 and the President said that it possibly came from there, they. 1165 01:06:27.599 --> 01:06:30.519 Call them racist because you know it. 1166 01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:33.199 Did come from there, but anyway, and they proved that 1167 01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:36.480 it did. Now, my question to you is with this 1168 01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:41.159 upticking measles that's going on, it's happened, it's been found 1169 01:06:41.199 --> 01:06:43.199 that it's happened between the last. 1170 01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:43.840 Few years or so. 1171 01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:46.719 Could it be related to the amount of people that 1172 01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:49.480 crossed the border. I'm not saying it is. I'm just 1173 01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:50.800 finding a coincidental. 1174 01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:54.599 Well, it's easy for you to line up those those 1175 01:06:54.679 --> 01:06:57.519 dots and reach that conclusion. You know, of course, like 1176 01:06:57.559 --> 01:07:00.760 the like the Wuhan institud of Virology lab leak which 1177 01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:03.760 I think everyone is right, mind knows exactly. That's where 1178 01:07:03.760 --> 01:07:08.079 it came from, our lords and masters, controlling and manipulating 1179 01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:10.639 what we learn and what we know, probably depriving us 1180 01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:12.639 of a lot of information that might allow you to 1181 01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:16.559 reach eight and a real conclusion in that regard, you know, 1182 01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:17.440 I mean, yeah. 1183 01:07:17.239 --> 01:07:18.440 Because they haven't been vetted. 1184 01:07:18.559 --> 01:07:20.679 They haven't been vetted, coming in a lot of them 1185 01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:23.639 that snuck in, and so I don't know, I mean, 1186 01:07:24.039 --> 01:07:28.679 I'm I'm Spanish myself, I'm not I'm not calling. I'm 1187 01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:30.639 not saying it's from them, but I just find a 1188 01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:33.800 coincidental that yeah, I mean, well, the uptakes all of 1189 01:07:33.800 --> 01:07:36.440 a sudden has happened within the last few years, and 1190 01:07:36.679 --> 01:07:37.039 now we. 1191 01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:39.639 Have to deal with this again exactly. And I think 1192 01:07:39.719 --> 01:07:42.920 it's reasonable to come to that conclusion. And I hate 1193 01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:45.400 the idea. And I know you're not concluding it's anything 1194 01:07:45.480 --> 01:07:47.920 to do with race. It's nothing to do with race. 1195 01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:52.599 Being critical of a lab being critical, right, being critical 1196 01:07:52.639 --> 01:07:57.400 of a lab that is manufacturing deadly viruses is being 1197 01:07:57.440 --> 01:08:00.880 critical of a lab that's manufacturing deadly virus that happens 1198 01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:02.800 to be in China and it's being run by the 1199 01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:06.079 Chinese Communist Party is not a statement that is racist. 1200 01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:10.800 That's where it is. We are essentially at war Wood, 1201 01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:13.440 sure thing man, thanks for calling. I always get outraged 1202 01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:16.159 when people accuse people of racism. Our borders are open. 1203 01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:19.039 I don't care what color or what country anyone comes 1204 01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:22.000 from that comes across the border. As I've mentioned several 1205 01:08:22.039 --> 01:08:25.439 times this morning, we are in a fiscal crisis in 1206 01:08:25.479 --> 01:08:30.720 this country, and every human being who comes across the 1207 01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:35.439 border illegally is a drain on the system. Look at 1208 01:08:35.439 --> 01:08:37.199 the school districts that have been overwhelmed, Look at the 1209 01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:39.760 number of people that have added to the ranks. California 1210 01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:44.000 is putting all of the illegal immigrants on Medicaid. I 1211 01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:50.760 got an article right here that points it out. Already 1212 01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:55.199 problematic financially, already broad with fraud, waste, and abuses. I 1213 01:08:55.279 --> 01:08:57.720 just talked about the other day, double dippers. You're gonna 1214 01:08:57.720 --> 01:08:59.920 add tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of 1215 01:08:59.880 --> 01:09:03.720 additional people on a system that's already troubled, and and 1216 01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:07.239 and and one of the components of the fiscal calamity 1217 01:09:07.279 --> 01:09:09.560 that we are currently dealing with on a federal level. 1218 01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:13.039 It's a dollars and cents issue. It has nothing to 1219 01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:21.560 do with race. And in terms of the Chinese Communist Party, 1220 01:09:22.159 --> 01:09:28.000 another article I read, you got how many people? I'll 1221 01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:35.920 find a figure, but tens of thousands of military age 1222 01:09:36.039 --> 01:09:39.239 Chinese Communist Party people are have come into our country 1223 01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:43.479 because of Joe Biden's open borders policy. Now you think 1224 01:09:43.479 --> 01:09:45.680 they're not up to know they're up to no good? 1225 01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:51.680 I do. You can't get out of China and come 1226 01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:54.720 to the northern border or southern border without some sort 1227 01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:58.920 of facilitation from the Chinese Communist Party. They run a 1228 01:09:59.159 --> 01:10:04.319 really oppressed to regime there. They know what people are 1229 01:10:04.359 --> 01:10:06.520 doing and where they are going, and they need to 1230 01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:08.760 offer you get you have. You need approval from the 1231 01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:11.239 government to leave the country. Listen, one of the freedoms 1232 01:10:11.239 --> 01:10:13.159 in America, there's so many people that take for granted 1233 01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:15.560 is you can get up and drive out of your 1234 01:10:15.600 --> 01:10:17.479 state and decide to move to a different state. You 1235 01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:22.560 don't need approval from anyone. They need a passport, of course, 1236 01:10:22.600 --> 01:10:24.880 to get out of the country, because well, the country 1237 01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:27.479 that you are going to requires that you have a passport. 1238 01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:31.039 It proves who you are. Wow, there's a protection in place. 1239 01:10:31.159 --> 01:10:38.119 Is it racist that they require passports. It's a mechanism 1240 01:10:38.279 --> 01:10:43.199 of control. It's a mechanism of keeping evil people out 1241 01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:45.600 of the country. That's why they have terrorist watch lists 1242 01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:49.439 in other countries as well as ours. That's one of 1243 01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:51.800 those left wing talking points of racist. 1244 01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:52.319 It's not. 1245 01:10:52.880 --> 01:10:56.199 It doesn't have anything to do with race, not a thing. 1246 01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:06.079 And I tell you, I love the Chinese people, but 1247 01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:12.479 I to test their authoritarian regime. I detest that they 1248 01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:15.159 micro manage people's lives. I detest that they have the 1249 01:11:15.159 --> 01:11:18.760 ability to deny you the opportunity to buy something if 1250 01:11:18.800 --> 01:11:22.800 you don't meet their standards, which includes towing the Chinese 1251 01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:29.359 Communist party line. You can be denied goods and services 1252 01:11:29.399 --> 01:11:31.359 in China. You can be denied an opportunity for a 1253 01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:34.520 place to live if you're not a kami in China, 1254 01:11:34.560 --> 01:11:37.840 or you don't bow to the whims of Xizhenping. That's 1255 01:11:37.880 --> 01:11:44.039 an evil regime. It doesn't matter what you look like. 1256 01:11:45.199 --> 01:11:54.520 It's the politics you advocate.

I didn't notice 1301 01:14:11.279 --> 01:14:13.520 the first day you posted it, but it's the I 1302 01:14:13.800 --> 01:14:17.800 guess it's an IRS building and someone put a Tesla 1303 01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:21.399 sign on top of it. Headline from the Babylon b 1304 01:14:21.560 --> 01:14:24.920 Elon Musk disguises IRS building as a Tesla dealership, so 1305 01:14:25.159 --> 01:14:31.039 Democrats will burn it down. Oh high comedy compliments of 1306 01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:36.199 memes these days. Department of Government officially, okay warning, if 1307 01:14:36.239 --> 01:14:38.560 you're upset at where your taxpayer dollars are being sent 1308 01:14:38.640 --> 01:14:41.680 because they take your labor converting into tax dollars and 1309 01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:44.199 then spend it on stupid things. I'm just giving you 1310 01:14:44.239 --> 01:14:47.279 a trigger alert. So we have an announcement from the 1311 01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:50.960 Department of Government Efficiency. It has terminated thankfully, one and 1312 01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:58.279 thirteen contracts total value four point seven billion dollars quarter 1313 01:14:58.399 --> 01:15:01.760 release on x Tuesday, Agencies terminated one hundred and thirteen 1314 01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:04.800 wasteful contracts with the ceiling values four point seven billion, 1315 01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:09.039 in savings of three point three billion, including a one 1316 01:15:09.159 --> 01:15:12.920 hundred and forty five thousand dollars USDA consulting contract for 1317 01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:20.319 PERU climate change activities. Five hundred and fifty seven million 1318 01:15:20.439 --> 01:15:25.319 canceled for in American last grants totally two hundred and 1319 01:15:25.319 --> 01:15:28.399 thirty seven million in savings funding it was canceled. Includes 1320 01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:35.560 ten million dollars for gender equity in the Mexican workplace, 1321 01:15:37.920 --> 01:15:43.079 twelve point two million for worker empowerment in South America. 1322 01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:49.039 Think of how big South America is. It's a continent, 1323 01:15:49.119 --> 01:15:52.239 for God's sake. How far would twelve point two million 1324 01:15:52.319 --> 01:15:58.000 dollars go? And what is worker empowerment anyway? Sounds like 1325 01:15:58.039 --> 01:15:59.920 a slush fund that people would tap in to use 1326 01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:04.000 for nefarious purposes. Six point twenty five million four quote 1327 01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:10.600 improving respect for workers' rights in agricultural supply chains in 1328 01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:18.720 the countries of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Would you say, Joe? 1329 01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:30.159 Oddly specific also eliminated Fox News reporting five million dollars 1330 01:16:30.199 --> 01:16:35.600 to elevate women's participation in the workplace in pick a country, 1331 01:16:36.800 --> 01:16:43.079 wrong rest Africa four Joe Cho's believe four point three 1332 01:16:43.119 --> 01:16:46.720 million dollars to assist foreign migrant workers workers in Joe 1333 01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:55.279 say shells No, Malaysia. Three million dollars to enhance socials, security, 1334 01:16:55.359 --> 01:17:02.439 access and worker protection for internal migrant workers in not 1335 01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:10.560 New Zealand, Joe, Bangladesh Sosia security access. So wait a second, 1336 01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:13.119 in actual cap on socias security, you might not understand 1337 01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:18.680 that social security benefits are going to internal migrant workers. 1338 01:17:18.760 --> 01:17:24.640 That seems to me to be Bangladeshi's in Bangladesh. Wrap 1339 01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:28.840 your head around that. Three million dollars for safe and 1340 01:17:29.000 --> 01:17:37.079 inclusive work environments in not Indonesia, Joe, the southern African 1341 01:17:37.199 --> 01:17:44.359 country of Losfo says, Oh, it's beautiful there this time 1342 01:17:44.399 --> 01:17:46.000 of the year. Is that where you're going when you 1343 01:17:46.039 --> 01:17:49.319 go on vacation? Joe lesotho, Oh, okay, I'm not. I 1344 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:58.000 won't reveal now again in the grand colossal scheme of 1345 01:17:58.119 --> 01:18:00.600 things low hanging fruit, and it does doesn't add up 1346 01:18:00.640 --> 01:18:03.600 to a whole lot compared to what we are in 1347 01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:07.840 the hole in in terms of trillions of dollars. So 1348 01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:10.279 so far, at least as of March twenty six, those 1349 01:18:10.439 --> 01:18:13.239 claims on its side anyway, that it has saved Americans 1350 01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:17.319 one hundred and thirty billion dollars. So when you stare 1351 01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:20.479 at a trillion dollars, which is one thousand stacks of 1352 01:18:20.640 --> 01:18:23.359 one billion dollars, you can just take a basically one 1353 01:18:23.479 --> 01:18:29.039 and one third stack out of the trillion dollars, This 1354 01:18:29.239 --> 01:18:32.319 translates to eight hundred and seven dollars and forty five 1355 01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:35.800 cents per American taxpayer, which you know, if you're on 1356 01:18:35.880 --> 01:18:39.760 a budget, that's some money. But see, and they just 1357 01:18:39.920 --> 01:18:43.920 really literally started to work. And once they start incorporating 1358 01:18:43.960 --> 01:18:46.720 some artificial intelligence and they start incorporating a little more 1359 01:18:46.760 --> 01:18:49.359 deep dive into like, for example, the Medicaid problems that 1360 01:18:49.399 --> 01:18:53.000 I just pointed out earlier, people getting insurers getting paid double, 1361 01:18:53.399 --> 01:18:56.239 getting paid for patients that are not even living in 1362 01:18:56.359 --> 01:18:59.079 the state. You know, that adds up to a whole 1363 01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:02.359 lot of money, as the Wall Street Journal reported four 1364 01:19:02.399 --> 01:19:07.880 point three billion dollars over three years. It adds up 1365 01:19:07.960 --> 01:19:10.439 Medicare and Medicaid together to US taxpayers more than one 1366 01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:14.079 point eight trillion dollars a year. So you can shave 1367 01:19:14.159 --> 01:19:17.960 a sizeable portion out of that one program simply by 1368 01:19:18.119 --> 01:19:24.680 not paying twice for the same patient. Six fifty five 1369 01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:29.920 and Musk is evil. As you go out and getting 1370 01:19:29.960 --> 01:19:32.880 ready to burn a Tesla today or Kia Tesla, you're 1371 01:19:32.920 --> 01:19:37.520 angry at Elon Musk for doing what were you one 1372 01:19:37.520 --> 01:19:38.680 of the one that was going to be getting one 1373 01:19:38.720 --> 01:19:41.600 of the Peruvian climate change activity grants. Is that why 1374 01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:49.000 you're mad? Are any of the people destroying Elon musk 1375 01:19:49.079 --> 01:19:55.199 cars from Lesotho upset that that grant's been canceled. He's 1376 01:19:55.239 --> 01:19:58.159 a Nazi six to fifty five fifty five k citytalk 1377 01:19:58.199 --> 01:20:02.720 station in Sidio, our citizen watchdog, former Inspector General Todd Zenzer. 1378 01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:05.600 We'll talk about the city fraud, wasted abuse hotline.

Can you imagine being 1424 01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:27.720 stuck in that tin can underwater for I think he 1425 01:22:27.760 --> 01:22:31.880 said his longest was fifty seven days or something like that. Ah, 1426 01:22:32.560 --> 01:22:35.239 tough job. That one is tough job. Toms Enzer's got 1427 01:22:35.399 --> 01:22:36.800 keep it on top of all the fraud, waste and 1428 01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:38.119 abuse in Shenanigans going on. 1429 01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:39.239 Let us begin. 1430 01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:45.000 With atab provol Okay, we'll get to the debate and 1431 01:22:45.840 --> 01:22:47.920 your perception of the debate a little bit later in 1432 01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:50.960 the segment, but let me tell my listeners about the 1433 01:22:51.039 --> 01:22:53.239 complaint that's been filed, because I think we have what 1434 01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:56.600 is rightfully called a Shenanigan's declaration in the form of 1435 01:22:56.680 --> 01:22:57.279 a lawsuit. 1436 01:22:58.079 --> 01:23:02.039 Well, it's a complaint to the Ohio Election Commission. Oh, okay, okay, Oh, 1437 01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:06.159 you see, filed by Kurt Hartman. Ah, Kurt's at it again. 1438 01:23:06.640 --> 01:23:09.960 And the report in the Inquirer said he filed it 1439 01:23:10.039 --> 01:23:13.439 on behalf of Jim Burns. People who are in the 1440 01:23:13.560 --> 01:23:17.479 Republican Party know who Jim Burns is. But the complaint 1441 01:23:17.640 --> 01:23:22.520 is about debt that Mayor Purval has on his financial 1442 01:23:22.600 --> 01:23:27.479 disclosure report to three different outfits totally in about eighty 1443 01:23:27.560 --> 01:23:28.359 thousand dollars. 1444 01:23:28.880 --> 01:23:31.000 So you got to file a financial disclosure report in 1445 01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:34.600 connection with what campaign contributions, the work that's been done 1446 01:23:34.640 --> 01:23:36.279 on behalf of the campaign, that kind of thing. 1447 01:23:36.479 --> 01:23:39.439 Exactly, you have to disclose your donors and then you 1448 01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:42.880 have to disclose what you spent your donor's money on. 1449 01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:50.359 So the complaint concerns the fact that this debt was 1450 01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:54.159 on the books for Mayor Purvol so long that it's 1451 01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:58.920 essentially forgiven under election law. I guess, almost like a 1452 01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:02.880 statute of limitations. Yes, it's a statute of limitations. And 1453 01:24:03.119 --> 01:24:07.960 so Kurt's complaint is that the fact that these debts 1454 01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:12.279 were allowed to expire constitute campaign contributions. 1455 01:24:12.319 --> 01:24:15.680 Okay, The money that is expressed is debt, that's for 1456 01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:19.840 services rendered. Yes, So if I'm doing like legal work 1457 01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:21.880 on behalf of a campaign, or you know, I've I've 1458 01:24:21.920 --> 01:24:24.600 printed up signs on behalf of a campaign, the presumption 1459 01:24:24.840 --> 01:24:30.279 is that is disclosed, it's listed as a debt, and 1460 01:24:30.399 --> 01:24:33.680 that the debtor pays me back for the services that 1461 01:24:33.720 --> 01:24:36.079 I render. That's correc That's exactly what these three line 1462 01:24:36.119 --> 01:24:37.119 items represent. Yes. 1463 01:24:37.199 --> 01:24:41.920 And the three firms include Perkins cooy Oh. Now, the 1464 01:24:42.239 --> 01:24:46.079 Enquirer says it's Seattle base, but they're very they at 1465 01:24:46.239 --> 01:24:49.000 least during Russia Gate, which is what they were all 1466 01:24:49.079 --> 01:24:52.079 caught up in. They're at Washington, d C. Law firm. 1467 01:24:52.840 --> 01:24:55.880 And then he owes them fifty eight thousand dollars. 1468 01:24:56.319 --> 01:24:56.600 Okay. 1469 01:24:56.920 --> 01:25:00.479 The second is an outfit called Spiro's Consulting, also a 1470 01:25:00.520 --> 01:25:05.239 big Democrat consulting firm in Washington, DC. And the third 1471 01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:12.520 is SKD Knickerbocker and Mayor Purvol's campaign owes them fifteen 1472 01:25:12.640 --> 01:25:18.640 thousand dollars. So SKD Knickerbocker is a heavy hitter in 1473 01:25:18.720 --> 01:25:22.600 the Democratic circles in Washington, DC. And as it turns out, 1474 01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:28.800 that's the outfit that the Norfolk Southern's Political Action Committee 1475 01:25:28.880 --> 01:25:35.159 used during the railway campaign. And SKD. Knickerbocker got about 1476 01:25:35.319 --> 01:25:37.960 ninety percent of that six million dollars. 1477 01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:43.920 And I run the propaganda campaign to sell the railroad. 1478 01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:47.880 Yes, that was SK Knickerbocker. I don't know if this 1479 01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:50.319 bureau's consulting was part of the railway campaign or not, 1480 01:25:50.439 --> 01:25:54.920 but it could have been. But there's definitely some interconnections there. Well, 1481 01:25:54.920 --> 01:25:59.079 I would say, and it's like rounding up the usual suspects, 1482 01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:01.239 getting the gang back together. 1483 01:26:01.399 --> 01:26:08.000 Yeah, we're putting the band back together anyway, it's late 1484 01:26:08.079 --> 01:26:10.039 for lunch, that's right. It was me money. 1485 01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:16.279 So the only issue is and actually, when I filed 1486 01:26:16.319 --> 01:26:22.359 a complaint against Purvoll's campaign during the railway campaign, if 1487 01:26:22.439 --> 01:26:27.279 you remember Mayor Purval in the Political Action Committee for 1488 01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:30.439 Norfolk Southern shared the same treasurer. 1489 01:26:31.600 --> 01:26:34.279 Remember that it's a really incestuous relationship. 1490 01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:37.800 Yes it is. So the complaint we filed was that 1491 01:26:38.760 --> 01:26:42.800 who's deciding that Mayor Purval is in these commercials? Is 1492 01:26:42.840 --> 01:26:46.319 that his campaign treasurer who's running the Norfolk Southern campaign. 1493 01:26:47.359 --> 01:26:52.720 So we we filed that complaint. In the penalties for 1494 01:26:53.079 --> 01:26:58.840 violations of Ohio election law is kind of pitiful and 1495 01:26:59.399 --> 01:27:03.520 at least the report in the report in the Enquirer 1496 01:27:03.600 --> 01:27:08.720 this morning said that the potential penalties are one hundred 1497 01:27:08.760 --> 01:27:09.479 dollars a day. 1498 01:27:10.920 --> 01:27:13.399 So this has been sitting around for three years. Though, 1499 01:27:13.720 --> 01:27:15.880 you know what you said at the outset, I don't 1500 01:27:16.199 --> 01:27:17.760 well sustatied limitations. 1501 01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:21.479 I think it's probably I don't know exactly how long, 1502 01:27:21.560 --> 01:27:25.720 but it's probably five years, I would think so. But 1503 01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:30.279 the Election Commission is not gonna if they even hear 1504 01:27:30.399 --> 01:27:34.199 the complaint, they're not going to impose a significant penalty 1505 01:27:34.319 --> 01:27:36.079 like that. I'd be very very surprised. 1506 01:27:36.600 --> 01:27:38.560 Well, why is that. I mean, they have a record 1507 01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:41.079 of being, you know, lightto on the touches. 1508 01:27:41.399 --> 01:27:45.479 Yes, when I filed my complaint back during the railway campaign, 1509 01:27:45.680 --> 01:27:48.319 Kurt even told me that, well, you'll get a good 1510 01:27:48.359 --> 01:27:50.880 experience going to the Election Commission, but don't expect a 1511 01:27:50.960 --> 01:27:51.720 lot of results. 1512 01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:56.159 Well, who sits on the election Commission? I didn't really 1513 01:27:56.239 --> 01:27:56.680 look into that. 1514 01:27:56.800 --> 01:28:01.800 I'm I'm assuming that they're appointee of the governor, but 1515 01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:04.520 don't I don't really know. I think there are appointees 1516 01:28:04.680 --> 01:28:05.359 from the governor. 1517 01:28:05.439 --> 01:28:07.479 Well, you'd like to think that they would be politically 1518 01:28:07.600 --> 01:28:10.439 neutral if there is a violation, and let's just assume, 1519 01:28:10.479 --> 01:28:12.880 for the sake of this discussion, is a clear violation. 1520 01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:17.000 He owes these people money and he didn't pay it, 1521 01:28:17.359 --> 01:28:21.039 which means he got services for free, and as services 1522 01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:25.720 translate to a campaign contribution under law. Yes, so if 1523 01:28:25.720 --> 01:28:28.479 any politician, Republican or Democrat, did that, then you'd like 1524 01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:30.600 to think that the reason that there is a penalty 1525 01:28:30.720 --> 01:28:33.960 for doing that is to prevent people from getting free 1526 01:28:34.079 --> 01:28:40.520 campaign contributions and campaign dollars. And well, that's disturbing that 1527 01:28:40.600 --> 01:28:43.119 they don't exercise their enforcement power. 1528 01:28:43.399 --> 01:28:47.880 Right and as a result, the campaigns just look at 1529 01:28:47.920 --> 01:28:51.000 it as these whatever penalties they get is kind of 1530 01:28:51.039 --> 01:28:52.079 the cost of doing business. 1531 01:28:53.479 --> 01:28:57.520 So well you wonder why there's three Well, I know 1532 01:28:57.680 --> 01:29:00.399 why they wouldn't seek a collections action or you know, 1533 01:29:00.560 --> 01:29:02.880 send a letter, a dunning letter or something is because 1534 01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:05.119 they're Democrats and they wanted to get a Democrat elected. 1535 01:29:05.159 --> 01:29:07.159 That was their job and they succeeded in that regard. 1536 01:29:07.439 --> 01:29:10.039 Yes, that's that would be my analysis as well. 1537 01:29:10.159 --> 01:29:14.000 But that's why it's considered a campaign contribution. 1538 01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:16.640 That is what Kurt's alleging. 1539 01:29:16.760 --> 01:29:19.520 Yes, okay, so he at least goes through the process. 1540 01:29:19.680 --> 01:29:22.560 Obviously it's been exposed in the Enquirer, so it's negative 1541 01:29:22.600 --> 01:29:25.279 press for provol We can all say, well, this doesn't 1542 01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:27.880 seem right, it doesn't smell right, and we can all 1543 01:29:27.960 --> 01:29:29.760 look to the Elections Commission and if they don't do 1544 01:29:29.800 --> 01:29:33.239 anything about it, maybe we can press the governor or 1545 01:29:33.279 --> 01:29:35.439 whoever appoints the individual and the election Commission to do 1546 01:29:35.520 --> 01:29:37.920 a better job of appointees and get people on there, 1547 01:29:38.399 --> 01:29:40.680 like judges that we elect that don't enforce the law, 1548 01:29:41.600 --> 01:29:42.560 to start doing their job. 1549 01:29:42.880 --> 01:29:43.000 Right. 1550 01:29:43.119 --> 01:29:45.560 So the good thing about the complaint we filed, and 1551 01:29:45.960 --> 01:29:49.680 I actually talk about this on my latest podcast, is 1552 01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:53.640 that we got an atha David from a mayor Perval's 1553 01:29:53.680 --> 01:29:57.319 treasurer who basically said, well, I wasn't just making the 1554 01:29:57.399 --> 01:30:02.520 decisions about these commercials. We had a steering committee for 1555 01:30:02.680 --> 01:30:06.319 the pack. Well, the steering committee's never been identified. We 1556 01:30:06.399 --> 01:30:10.279 don't know who the steering committee is, who its membership is, 1557 01:30:11.039 --> 01:30:14.119 and you know that's another one of these secret you know, 1558 01:30:14.319 --> 01:30:20.359 deals with the city. So and the reason I started, 1559 01:30:20.560 --> 01:30:22.520 the reason I went back to it is because of 1560 01:30:22.680 --> 01:30:26.279 this arena issue where this five oh one C four 1561 01:30:27.279 --> 01:30:30.920 has been formed and you know that's that's a potential 1562 01:30:31.000 --> 01:30:31.760 dark money source. 1563 01:30:31.800 --> 01:30:34.239 All right, we'll call that a tease for the next 1564 01:30:34.319 --> 01:30:36.560 segment and we'll sort of dive into details on that 1565 01:30:36.720 --> 01:30:40.600 because last time I checked todds Enzer Citizen Watchdog podcast, 1566 01:30:41.479 --> 01:30:43.840 we don't have any money to build an arena. So 1567 01:30:44.079 --> 01:30:48.279 pause six fifteen right now? Care see de talk station. 1568 01:30:49.560 --> 01:30:56.199 Oh man, just scratching my head anyhow, Peter Subriakelorwilliams sven 1569 01:30:56.239 --> 01:30:57.680 Hill is the only real estate team I would ever 1570 01:30:57.800 --> 01:30:59.840 consider hiring. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. 1571 01:30:59.880 --> 01:31:02.760 I know Peter is a brilliant man. He has programs 1572 01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:04.720 that know other real estate team is offering, and he's 1573 01:31:04.800 --> 01:31:08.720 got quality real estate agents. They know what they are doing. 1574 01:31:08.760 --> 01:31:14.079 They truly provide value to their clients. And for example, 1575 01:31:14.760 --> 01:31:18.039 we got a guy named brand I don't want to 1576 01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:21.399 have to find his last name. Sabre Group was able 1577 01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:25.199 to get him multiple offers on his house the first 1578 01:31:25.600 --> 01:31:29.560 day on the market and got him fifteen grand over 1579 01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:32.880 asking price. In addition, they were able to negotiate the 1580 01:31:32.920 --> 01:31:37.239 buyer to waive the inspection and gave Brandon post occupancy 1581 01:31:37.359 --> 01:31:40.800 after closing without rent. You see what they can do 1582 01:31:40.960 --> 01:31:44.039 for you. Their negotiating fields are phenomenal. They have programs 1583 01:31:44.079 --> 01:31:46.239 that nobody else offer, like cash the Keys program, which 1584 01:31:46.279 --> 01:31:48.319 allows you, if you're eligible, allows you to make a 1585 01:31:48.399 --> 01:31:50.039 cash offer on the home. I know you don't have 1586 01:31:50.359 --> 01:31:52.520 hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around in a suitcase, 1587 01:31:52.520 --> 01:31:55.279 but it's effectively the same thing. You reconcile the whole 1588 01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:58.000 thing with the Shabar Group after closing, but sellers love 1589 01:31:58.479 --> 01:32:00.479 cash offers, and so that's effectively what the KSh THEA 1590 01:32:00.520 --> 01:32:02.960 Keys program does. Just one of many opportunities you have 1591 01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:05.119 with the Sabri Group and you won't have with others. 1592 01:32:05.199 --> 01:32:07.840 So hire the best.

Oh yeah, okay, I 1625 01:33:54.720 --> 01:33:55.239 don't know how. 1626 01:33:55.560 --> 01:33:57.640 One of the issues is that they think with a 1627 01:33:58.479 --> 01:34:01.760 new arena that they will have, they'll be able to 1628 01:34:02.319 --> 01:34:05.960 put more events in a new arena than the one 1629 01:34:06.000 --> 01:34:06.840 that Heritage has. 1630 01:34:07.119 --> 01:34:10.039 So the claim is we're missing out on some big acts, 1631 01:34:10.079 --> 01:34:13.239 big draws because there's not enough seating there for like 1632 01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:15.960 the artists, and you know, hey, I'm selling out twenty 1633 01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:19.239 five thirty thousand seed arenas that's only got what fifteen 1634 01:34:19.319 --> 01:34:20.720 thousand seats in it or something like that. 1635 01:34:21.079 --> 01:34:22.319 I think that's probably right. 1636 01:34:22.479 --> 01:34:25.239 Yeah, well, okay, I've seen the gazillion concerts there, and 1637 01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:27.920 I know the acoustics suck, and I know it's old. 1638 01:34:28.039 --> 01:34:30.159 But well, they also pray. 1639 01:34:30.079 --> 01:34:33.359 On the the fact that Cincinnati's a sports town and 1640 01:34:33.439 --> 01:34:36.439 they say, oh, we want to get the NCAA tournament here. 1641 01:34:36.359 --> 01:34:39.800 And okay, so grandiose ideas. Yeah, I think they tried 1642 01:34:39.800 --> 01:34:41.680 to get the Olympics here too one time. I think 1643 01:34:42.119 --> 01:34:46.600 you have right. What a colossal waste of effort that is. Anyway, 1644 01:34:47.399 --> 01:34:51.880 So my understanding from you and the off air comments 1645 01:34:52.000 --> 01:34:55.520 is the local businesses want the if there is a 1646 01:34:55.680 --> 01:34:57.560 new one, and we haven't gotten into the logistics and 1647 01:34:57.640 --> 01:34:59.760 realities whether or not we can even afford it. They 1648 01:34:59.800 --> 01:35:01.520 w wanted to stay in the same place. 1649 01:35:01.520 --> 01:35:05.159 Right, the businesses that the banks have an association, They 1650 01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:08.439 even have a little taxing authority that group does. 1651 01:35:09.359 --> 01:35:10.239 Yeah, and. 1652 01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:15.600 They want to keep the arena on the banks, and 1653 01:35:15.680 --> 01:35:19.359 there's a lot of people that agree with them. But 1654 01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:24.279 the people proposing a new arena, they've concluded that that 1655 01:35:24.399 --> 01:35:28.479 footprint of the current arena isn't large enough for the 1656 01:35:28.600 --> 01:35:30.000 size arena they want to build. 1657 01:35:30.520 --> 01:35:33.159 Do we know what size arena that they want to build? 1658 01:35:33.279 --> 01:35:35.079 Is there some proposal? And no, it's going to have 1659 01:35:35.399 --> 01:35:36.439 like that this many seats. 1660 01:35:36.760 --> 01:35:39.680 Yes, the it was either the Regional Chamber or a 1661 01:35:39.800 --> 01:35:43.159 consultant for the Regional Chamber has done a study for them, 1662 01:35:44.960 --> 01:35:49.640 and it's several months old. Now, Okay, I haven't looked 1663 01:35:49.640 --> 01:35:55.119 at it recently, but it's it's it's not all that persuasive, 1664 01:35:56.119 --> 01:35:57.000 to be honest with you. 1665 01:35:57.239 --> 01:35:58.640 And for what specific reasons? 1666 01:35:58.760 --> 01:36:04.359 Well, they you know, for example, they conclude that the 1667 01:36:05.079 --> 01:36:08.560 current arena would have to shut down and not have 1668 01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:09.399 any events. 1669 01:36:09.800 --> 01:36:12.239 Well, it's probably owned. They can't do that, that's right. 1670 01:36:12.399 --> 01:36:16.640 So there, their proposal assumes that they're not going to 1671 01:36:16.680 --> 01:36:20.560 have any competition for these events. And I don't think 1672 01:36:20.640 --> 01:36:22.399 the Heritage Center is going to go. Are they going 1673 01:36:22.439 --> 01:36:23.960 to get rid of P and C Pavilion or River 1674 01:36:24.079 --> 01:36:26.000 Bend too? Yeah, look at them all and the one 1675 01:36:26.039 --> 01:36:28.720 that's across the river that is one university. That is 1676 01:36:28.800 --> 01:36:30.520 one thing you hear from people is that don't we 1677 01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:32.720 have enough I know venues around here? 1678 01:36:32.960 --> 01:36:35.920 I know, but you're hoping. I think they are hoping 1679 01:36:36.039 --> 01:36:38.560 that if you build this new grand facility that they're 1680 01:36:38.600 --> 01:36:40.600 going to get like the NC two A tournaments to 1681 01:36:40.640 --> 01:36:48.720 come correct. Okay, all right now, pivoting over to the 1682 01:36:48.880 --> 01:36:52.840 location that is proposed. I know the current owners and 1683 01:36:53.000 --> 01:36:56.359 the resident or the businesses around the Heritage Center want 1684 01:36:56.479 --> 01:36:58.960 it to stay there. Let's assume for the sake of discussion, 1685 01:36:59.039 --> 01:37:01.600 there isn't a big enough for print. Where do the 1686 01:37:01.640 --> 01:37:04.560 powers that be that are pushing this agenda item want 1687 01:37:04.600 --> 01:37:04.880 it to go. 1688 01:37:05.720 --> 01:37:09.079 Well, the two locations that I've heard about is someplace 1689 01:37:09.119 --> 01:37:13.600 in Queen's Gate I'm not exactly sure aware, and then 1690 01:37:13.640 --> 01:37:17.199 the other is right there on Central Avenue where WCET is. 1691 01:37:17.560 --> 01:37:20.720 Oh sure, I think they've tried to talk to WCET 1692 01:37:20.920 --> 01:37:25.319 about selling out, and WCET has come back with an 1693 01:37:25.359 --> 01:37:26.760 outrageous amount of money. 1694 01:37:26.600 --> 01:37:28.119 That it will I bet so to move. 1695 01:37:28.159 --> 01:37:30.640 I think it's up like the fifty million or something 1696 01:37:30.760 --> 01:37:32.439 like that to move to move them. 1697 01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:34.359 But that wouldn't be the only property to have to 1698 01:37:34.399 --> 01:37:36.239 acquire to build a big facility there. They'd have to 1699 01:37:36.640 --> 01:37:38.159 acquire a lot of land around there. 1700 01:37:38.399 --> 01:37:41.520 Yeah, I'm not really sure about all that, but it 1701 01:37:41.680 --> 01:37:43.880 will take a lot of land and a. 1702 01:37:43.920 --> 01:37:44.520 Lot of money. 1703 01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:47.880 Yes, yeah, your negotiation power goes up dramatically. It's like 1704 01:37:47.960 --> 01:37:50.840 the last person standing over with the Rookwood comp Remember 1705 01:37:50.880 --> 01:37:53.720 that one house that they refuse to give in and 1706 01:37:53.840 --> 01:37:57.279 that one loan house with all the open field land, 1707 01:37:57.319 --> 01:37:59.840 after all the other houses have been knocked down. You 1708 01:38:00.199 --> 01:38:03.920 can hold out. You can get a lot of money. Yeah, well, 1709 01:38:04.479 --> 01:38:07.439 let's talk about the financials on this one. Wherever it 1710 01:38:07.560 --> 01:38:11.560 might happen to go. I guess the folks in the 1711 01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:13.800 Heritage aren't going to sell and they're not going to 1712 01:38:13.880 --> 01:38:16.159 close down their operation. This sort of renders this entire 1713 01:38:16.239 --> 01:38:17.279 conversation moot. 1714 01:38:18.000 --> 01:38:21.960 Well, like I said, I think that the proponents of 1715 01:38:22.000 --> 01:38:25.319 the new arena are assuming that the current arena will 1716 01:38:25.359 --> 01:38:28.359 go away. But you know they could stick around and 1717 01:38:30.439 --> 01:38:33.319 outcompete the new arena. Actually they certainly could. 1718 01:38:33.840 --> 01:38:38.479 Let's pause, will bring former Inspector General and current Inspector 1719 01:38:38.600 --> 01:38:42.079 General Todd Zinser. Follow if listen to Citizen Watchdog. That's 1720 01:38:42.159 --> 01:38:45.720 his podcast. He's talking about this kind of stuff every week. 1721 01:38:45.840 --> 01:38:47.760 So we'll be here more from Todd. Coming back after 1722 01:38:47.800 --> 01:38:50.520 I mentioned Butt Herbert. My friends at but Herbert, I 1723 01:38:50.600 --> 01:38:52.439 consider them friends because, you know what, they helped me 1724 01:38:52.520 --> 01:38:54.680 out so much. When I got my new lawn equipment. 1725 01:38:54.680 --> 01:38:55.960 I had to get a new mower, and I had 1726 01:38:56.000 --> 01:38:58.439 that terrible box store experience and thank you. Friends do 1727 01:38:58.600 --> 01:39:01.279 good things for friends. And so my friend Jim Keefer 1728 01:39:01.319 --> 01:39:03.039 recommended to get in touch with Bud Herbert, who I 1729 01:39:03.079 --> 01:39:05.199 hadn't heard about, but they have been around now for 1730 01:39:05.279 --> 01:39:07.560 more than seventy five years. This is fifth generation family 1731 01:39:07.600 --> 01:39:10.079 owned operated. You do work with a Herbert family member, 1732 01:39:10.159 --> 01:39:13.359 and they are proud of what they sell. Highest quality, 1733 01:39:13.720 --> 01:39:17.079 top quality brands and lawn equipment on the market.

They know everything there 1736 01:39:21.520 --> 01:39:23.520 is to know about the equipment they sell. They'll deliver 1737 01:39:23.640 --> 01:39:26.359 it to you and they'll services it for you. When 1738 01:39:26.359 --> 01:39:28.760 it comes down to service, there's no downside working with 1739 01:39:28.800 --> 01:39:32.039 Bud Herbert and you're supporting a local, family owned and 1740 01:39:32.119 --> 01:39:34.439 operated company and they care about the family name, which 1741 01:39:34.439 --> 01:39:36.960 is why they provide such great customer service, putting me 1742 01:39:37.000 --> 01:39:39.119 in the right piece of equipment that you'll be very 1743 01:39:39.159 --> 01:39:40.840 happy with. And I know they did that for me. 1744 01:39:41.039 --> 01:39:44.920 So here's my advice to you.

Eve Todds ends 1775 01:41:12.720 --> 01:41:15.399 are in studio again his podcast Citizen watch Dog, talking 1776 01:41:15.399 --> 01:41:16.640 about the kind of thing we're talking about here at 1777 01:41:16.640 --> 01:41:20.239 the fifty five KRC Morning Show this morning. Well, I 1778 01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:23.840 told you off air that this whole arena thing seems 1779 01:41:23.920 --> 01:41:26.319 sort of kind of half baked, and it's not even 1780 01:41:26.399 --> 01:41:29.800 half baked. It's just like an amorphous blob under the 1781 01:41:29.880 --> 01:41:32.520 head and under the heading we need a new arena. 1782 01:41:33.359 --> 01:41:35.199 And then as soon as you pull back to veneer 1783 01:41:35.279 --> 01:41:37.479 of just the general concept, because you might get everybody 1784 01:41:37.560 --> 01:41:39.880 nod their head and go, yeah, wouldn't it be nice? Yeah, 1785 01:41:39.920 --> 01:41:42.840 the Colisseum or you know, Heritage Center, it sucks. It's outdated. 1786 01:41:42.880 --> 01:41:45.399 I remember seeing the cinc Any Stingers playing there back 1787 01:41:45.399 --> 01:41:47.840 in the seventies and it hasn't changed much. You know, 1788 01:41:48.560 --> 01:41:50.680 it's not big enough. You get the big act, So, okay, 1789 01:41:50.760 --> 01:41:52.359 that sounds like a great idea, and then as soon 1790 01:41:52.399 --> 01:41:57.600 as you move to the logistics behind it, it just 1791 01:41:57.640 --> 01:42:01.199 seems like an insurmountable task. Yeah, so you got location problems. 1792 01:42:02.039 --> 01:42:04.560 They want it to be, say on Central Avenue, but 1793 01:42:04.600 --> 01:42:06.520 you have to buy out thet w CET building, and 1794 01:42:06.560 --> 01:42:09.399 then a whole lot of other privately owned properties around that, 1795 01:42:09.600 --> 01:42:12.520 So acquisition costs for just the land, you haven't even 1796 01:42:12.560 --> 01:42:14.279 put a brick in the ground in terms of building 1797 01:42:14.319 --> 01:42:17.800 the stadium, and you're already tens of millions of dollars 1798 01:42:17.840 --> 01:42:20.560 in the hole from an acquisition costs. Plus they'll probably 1799 01:42:20.640 --> 01:42:22.960 be litigation because some people wouldn't want to sell, like 1800 01:42:23.039 --> 01:42:25.560 you're not going not to our neighborhood. There's always that. 1801 01:42:27.159 --> 01:42:31.800 Then you've got the competition factor that you pointed out 1802 01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:33.960 Heritage Center that we're privately own. We're not going to 1803 01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:37.640 shut down. Screw you guys, right, we can still get draws. 1804 01:42:37.920 --> 01:42:39.760 An act that comes in that can't fill a thirty 1805 01:42:39.800 --> 01:42:42.359 thousands for arena, we've got fifteen thousand. They may sell 1806 01:42:42.439 --> 01:42:46.199 that out. We're the perfect size. There's also Riverband PNC, 1807 01:42:46.760 --> 01:42:49.359 the venue across the street of across the river over 1808 01:42:49.359 --> 01:42:51.039 at the University. I'm sorry, I can't remember what that 1809 01:42:51.119 --> 01:42:53.479 one's called. And of course the smaller venues like the 1810 01:42:53.520 --> 01:42:56.760 Brady Center, which you know, we're talking different types of acts. 1811 01:42:56.800 --> 01:43:03.119 We've got a lot, a whole lot, and then money, 1812 01:43:03.479 --> 01:43:06.439 of course, money relates to exsition goes. But we all 1813 01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:08.760 have a bad taste in our mouth from the stadium deal. 1814 01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:11.159 But you told me off air, and it's important for 1815 01:43:11.279 --> 01:43:13.520 listeners to know there's a five oh one C four 1816 01:43:13.720 --> 01:43:19.039 corporation that's behind this. Yes, the Hamilton County Growth Alliance. 1817 01:43:19.399 --> 01:43:22.680 Wait till you hear what their idea is. Listeners who 1818 01:43:22.720 --> 01:43:24.600 know what the stadium deal, remember when you voted to 1819 01:43:24.640 --> 01:43:28.760 build the stadium FKA Paul Brown Stadium the Great American Ballpark, 1820 01:43:29.039 --> 01:43:31.600 what did you agree to? You agreed to pay more 1821 01:43:31.720 --> 01:43:38.119 taxes for the purposes of building those two venues, and 1822 01:43:38.319 --> 01:43:40.119 then you got stabbed in the back because they didn't 1823 01:43:40.119 --> 01:43:42.239 get the reduction of taxes that was promised to you 1824 01:43:42.279 --> 01:43:44.520 when you voted for it. So with that background, go ahead. 1825 01:43:44.800 --> 01:43:49.800 Yeah, Well, the report about the Hamilton County Growth Alliance 1826 01:43:50.439 --> 01:43:53.359 is that one of the sources of funding that they're 1827 01:43:53.439 --> 01:43:56.159 looking for, they think they'll be able to get access 1828 01:43:56.359 --> 01:44:01.479 to the sales tax receipts that were approved by the 1829 01:44:01.560 --> 01:44:04.840 voters for the stadium and the Great American Ballpark. And 1830 01:44:05.079 --> 01:44:08.760 don't I don't understand that enough to know what they're 1831 01:44:08.760 --> 01:44:12.760 really even talking about. It doesn't sound like that's gonna happen. 1832 01:44:13.359 --> 01:44:15.960 No, And if they've somehow got their hand in that 1833 01:44:16.119 --> 01:44:20.720 cookie jar, maybe there might be litigation related to doing that. 1834 01:44:20.800 --> 01:44:23.359 Well, here's the thing about five oh one c fours 1835 01:44:23.520 --> 01:44:27.399 is that they do not have to disclose their donors. 1836 01:44:28.600 --> 01:44:33.680 So that creates a situation where it kind of becomes 1837 01:44:33.800 --> 01:44:37.279 or could become, what they call dark money, and that 1838 01:44:37.479 --> 01:44:41.159 that money you don't know who it's coming from, and 1839 01:44:41.279 --> 01:44:45.000 you don't know what other areas of our civic life 1840 01:44:45.079 --> 01:44:49.840 that they're influencing. For example, two incumbent members of city 1841 01:44:49.920 --> 01:44:54.880 council came right out supporting the Hamilton County Growth Alliance 1842 01:44:55.760 --> 01:44:59.479 and you have to wonder, well, what's their relationship with 1843 01:44:59.560 --> 01:45:00.960 this FIB four. 1844 01:45:03.039 --> 01:45:06.399 Going back to a to provall financial disclosure statements of 1845 01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:08.199 just tuckling along those lines. 1846 01:45:08.199 --> 01:45:11.520 And it is it is a very similar situation. You 1847 01:45:11.560 --> 01:45:13.640 don't know who the donors are, just like you don't 1848 01:45:13.800 --> 01:45:16.239 for the Hamilton County Growth Alianes, just like you don't 1849 01:45:16.279 --> 01:45:19.720 know who's on the steering committee. And there's there's a 1850 01:45:19.760 --> 01:45:21.880 lot of secrets that go on in this town. I've 1851 01:45:21.920 --> 01:45:25.439 always heard about the meeting before the meeting, which means 1852 01:45:25.520 --> 01:45:29.359 somehow the city council members get together and make decisions 1853 01:45:29.399 --> 01:45:31.800 before they come into the council room, and. 1854 01:45:32.199 --> 01:45:34.039 It got me thinking that it sounds like the Gang 1855 01:45:34.079 --> 01:45:34.840 of Five problem. 1856 01:45:35.439 --> 01:45:39.399 H Well, I don't know how they do it. Like 1857 01:45:39.560 --> 01:45:42.479 do you remember the scandal that Sherry Coolidge reported on 1858 01:45:42.640 --> 01:45:46.520 about the railroad board meeting in executive session and making 1859 01:45:46.600 --> 01:45:48.199 decisions in executive session? 1860 01:45:48.439 --> 01:45:51.039 Oh? Sure, an executive session excludes the public. 1861 01:45:51.159 --> 01:45:54.399 Yeah, right, Well, I've never seen the city Council go 1862 01:45:54.520 --> 01:45:58.760 into executive session to talk about anything. Where when do 1863 01:45:58.920 --> 01:46:02.479 they get their information about what they're voting on it? 1864 01:46:04.119 --> 01:46:08.279 I think what happens is I think what I think 1865 01:46:08.319 --> 01:46:11.720 what happens at the city manager. I heard her speak 1866 01:46:11.800 --> 01:46:13.520 one time and she kind of let it slip. She 1867 01:46:13.680 --> 01:46:16.079 kind of indicated that she meets with every member of 1868 01:46:16.159 --> 01:46:20.920 city Council on a regular basis individually, individually. And I 1869 01:46:21.079 --> 01:46:24.439 know that's what Aftab did on or Mayor Purval did 1870 01:46:24.920 --> 01:46:29.880 on the railway deal. They kept that secret, and he 1871 01:46:29.960 --> 01:46:33.159 would he went around and I think he said this, 1872 01:46:33.359 --> 01:46:37.479 He went around to each member of city Council individually 1873 01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:41.279 on the QT to tell them that hey, we're talking 1874 01:46:41.319 --> 01:46:48.640 about selling a railway. And I thought that was very unusual. 1875 01:46:49.640 --> 01:46:52.800 Well, and of course the transparency raw laws and rules 1876 01:46:52.840 --> 01:46:57.479 would require them to announce this and make it an 1877 01:46:57.560 --> 01:46:59.560 open discussion. And we know the Gang of five got 1878 01:46:59.640 --> 01:47:02.039 in trouble because they were making decisions collect five of 1879 01:47:02.119 --> 01:47:06.000 them anyway behind the scenes, got busted for that. So 1880 01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:08.279 you're telling me the way around this and the way 1881 01:47:08.319 --> 01:47:10.279 they work around this, which is very easy to do. 1882 01:47:10.680 --> 01:47:13.000 It just requires a little more time. Rather than meeting 1883 01:47:13.079 --> 01:47:15.520 one big room, you got the mayor going individually and 1884 01:47:15.560 --> 01:47:17.520 then talking to one of the council people and saying, Hey, 1885 01:47:17.880 --> 01:47:20.359 the other council people I've already talked to have already 1886 01:47:20.359 --> 01:47:22.279 agreed with me that this is the direction we need 1887 01:47:22.319 --> 01:47:23.920 to go. Are you on board with me on this? 1888 01:47:24.359 --> 01:47:26.079 I think that's how it I think that's how it 1889 01:47:26.159 --> 01:47:30.680 has to be working, because they have litigation, they have 1890 01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:34.319 personnel matters, they have all kinds of things that you 1891 01:47:34.399 --> 01:47:37.880 know they should discuss as a council but not in public. 1892 01:47:38.039 --> 01:47:41.239 That's why executive sessions exist. But you never see them 1893 01:47:41.640 --> 01:47:46.439 going into executive session. So I don't know how they deliberate. 1894 01:47:47.840 --> 01:47:50.359 I think you may have stumbled upon it, Toddzinser, which 1895 01:47:50.359 --> 01:47:52.319 is why you're great at what you do. Seven thirty seven. 1896 01:47:52.399 --> 01:47:53.680 Right now, we'll talk with them a little bit more 1897 01:47:54.039 --> 01:47:57.239 get his thoughts and reactions to the mayoral debate the 1898 01:47:57.319 --> 01:47:59.800 other day.

But before we get to your thoughts 1956 01:50:42.520 --> 01:50:44.600 and impressions on the mayor ol debate the other day, 1957 01:50:44.640 --> 01:50:49.920 which I'm interested in, the city borrowed another thirty million 1958 01:50:50.039 --> 01:50:50.960 dollars yesterday. 1959 01:50:51.600 --> 01:50:56.079 Yeah, they have they approved either approved that they just 1960 01:50:56.199 --> 01:51:01.640 moved it on to another another meeting. But the bottom 1961 01:51:01.680 --> 01:51:03.800 line is they're going to borrow thirty million dollars. They're 1962 01:51:03.840 --> 01:51:07.359 going to issue bonds for an additional thirty million dollars 1963 01:51:08.439 --> 01:51:11.119 five point five I think for a health center and 1964 01:51:11.239 --> 01:51:17.640 OTR and twenty nine million for a like a community 1965 01:51:17.720 --> 01:51:21.720 center around Findlay around Finley Market, because. 1966 01:51:21.479 --> 01:51:23.640 They're going to be a whole brand new couple of 1967 01:51:23.720 --> 01:51:29.159 buildings for these Yes, they're relocating, well, they're selling off 1968 01:51:29.199 --> 01:51:31.239 a whole bunch of buildings like the Elms and Ducky 1969 01:51:31.319 --> 01:51:33.399 building and some of the other buildings that were identify 1970 01:51:33.600 --> 01:51:34.279 up for sale. 1971 01:51:34.479 --> 01:51:35.159 That's the county. 1972 01:51:35.640 --> 01:51:37.760 Oh, that's the county. Okay, okay, okay. 1973 01:51:38.199 --> 01:51:40.680 And it's funny because that's the same thing that's going 1974 01:51:40.720 --> 01:51:43.000 on in the federal government that everybody's complaining about. 1975 01:51:43.279 --> 01:51:43.760 I don't here. 1976 01:51:43.800 --> 01:51:46.680 The county commissioners are smart enough to do it here locally, so. 1977 01:51:46.760 --> 01:51:49.000 Good for them. Good for them.

To have it done and accomplish the 1982 01:51:58.760 --> 01:52:01.600 goals they want to accomplish. Oh, but it won't be 1983 01:52:01.760 --> 01:52:06.680 LEADS certified or something, right, Yeah, exactly, And it won't 1984 01:52:06.680 --> 01:52:09.680 put their friends in the construction business into more jobs either. Huh. 1985 01:52:10.119 --> 01:52:13.319 Well, that area is getting a lot of has gotten 1986 01:52:13.359 --> 01:52:15.399 and it continues to get a lot of resources from 1987 01:52:15.439 --> 01:52:15.760 the city. 1988 01:52:16.079 --> 01:52:19.680 All right, But in terms of dollars and cents you 1989 01:52:19.800 --> 01:52:22.199 mentioned to me off air, it's important to understand they 1990 01:52:22.239 --> 01:52:25.000 had they got an initial twenty one million dollars laying 1991 01:52:25.039 --> 01:52:25.640 around over there. 1992 01:52:25.800 --> 01:52:28.720 Well, the city manager issues a memo every month about 1993 01:52:29.119 --> 01:52:32.920 the finances, and this most recent memo says that they 1994 01:52:33.000 --> 01:52:37.479 have collected twenty one million dollars more than they had 1995 01:52:37.560 --> 01:52:40.960 budgeted for. So they're in high cotton right now in 1996 01:52:41.079 --> 01:52:43.479 terms of in terms of cash. 1997 01:52:43.600 --> 01:52:45.640 Well, they just write a check. At least one building's 1998 01:52:45.680 --> 01:52:47.760 only five and only five and a half million dollars 1999 01:52:47.800 --> 01:52:49.119 they could pay for that other pocket. 2000 01:52:49.279 --> 01:52:51.479 Well that's what that's what I think. But I guess 2001 01:52:52.119 --> 01:52:53.880 I guess that's not how they do business. 2002 01:52:54.159 --> 01:52:57.479 So did were the terms of conditions of the borrowing released? 2003 01:52:57.520 --> 01:53:00.680 I mean, what the percentage of interest is, how many 2004 01:53:00.720 --> 01:53:02.800 years it's going to be that we're paying interest on them. 2005 01:53:03.079 --> 01:53:04.920 They're going to leave all that up to the finance 2006 01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:09.560 department for the city. So they have just general parameters 2007 01:53:09.600 --> 01:53:16.399 that they that they've approved, but the actual borrowing is 2008 01:53:16.479 --> 01:53:19.399 going to be decided by the city administration. 2009 01:53:21.680 --> 01:53:25.199 And of course the taxpayers have no say in this matter. 2010 01:53:25.960 --> 01:53:28.720 No our says. As soon as they vote to prove it, 2011 01:53:28.920 --> 01:53:30.279 our say is pretty much over. 2012 01:53:30.399 --> 01:53:34.239 I think, jeez, did anybody vote or come to some 2013 01:53:34.600 --> 01:53:38.600 understanding that yes, these are absolutely necessary structures to build. 2014 01:53:39.800 --> 01:53:42.880 Well, that's all done by the city council, and it's 2015 01:53:42.960 --> 01:53:44.920 all you know we talked about how. 2016 01:53:44.840 --> 01:53:49.439 They Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure. All right, Well, let's pause. 2017 01:53:49.439 --> 01:53:52.079 We'll bring Todd back his analysis of the mayor Old 2018 01:53:52.119 --> 01:53:56.000 debate one more with citizen watchdog Todd Zenzer. After I 2019 01:53:56.079 --> 01:53:58.880 mentioned something that is affordable, medical imaging can be affordable 2020 01:53:58.880 --> 01:54:00.760 at least by comparison, and I know, you know, it's 2021 01:54:00.760 --> 01:54:03.760 still hundreds of dollars, But why would you want to 2022 01:54:03.760 --> 01:54:06.600 pay thousands of dollars when you can get the same 2023 01:54:06.760 --> 01:54:10.880 thing all things pretty much equal except the overhead four 2024 01:54:11.039 --> 01:54:14.479 hundreds of dollars. Consider your echo cardiogram at a hospital 2025 01:54:14.560 --> 01:54:17.079 three thousand, four thousand dollars, a couple of extra bills 2026 01:54:17.159 --> 01:54:21.279 with radiologists report and whatnot well and affordable imaging services 2027 01:54:21.359 --> 01:54:24.000 that echo cardiogram and they can get you right in 2028 01:54:24.159 --> 01:54:26.159 as opposed to the imaging department of the hospital which 2029 01:54:26.159 --> 01:54:28.079 may set you back weeks and if not a month, 2030 01:54:28.479 --> 01:54:30.960 get you right in and if you don't need an enhancement, 2031 01:54:31.039 --> 01:54:33.399 it's only five hundred bucks. If you need an enhancement, 2032 01:54:33.439 --> 01:54:36.000 it's eight hundred and yes, it includes a board certified 2033 01:54:36.079 --> 01:54:38.079 radiologists report that you and your doc will get both 2034 01:54:38.119 --> 01:54:41.720 within forty eight hours. Same thing for mri ct scans 2035 01:54:41.720 --> 01:54:44.800 and ultrasounds. Ultrasounds could be two thousand or more dollars 2036 01:54:44.840 --> 01:54:48.359 in a hospital. Yeah, it's only two hundred and fifty 2037 01:54:48.520 --> 01:54:51.800 dollars at affordable imaging service for an ultrasound. I know 2038 01:54:51.920 --> 01:54:53.319 you're not going to be a lot of bells and 2039 01:54:53.359 --> 01:54:55.920 whistles there. There's not a lot of marble and water 2040 01:54:56.439 --> 01:54:59.279 features and sculptures. And you know that's what you get 2041 01:54:59.279 --> 01:55:01.119 at the hospital. You have to pay for that. So 2042 01:55:01.319 --> 01:55:04.520 don't they have the same kind of equipment to hospitals 2043 01:55:04.600 --> 01:55:07.760 use you get them? The radiologises reports is no different 2044 01:55:07.760 --> 01:55:09.600 than anything can come from a hospital, so don't pay 2045 01:55:09.680 --> 01:55:11.720 that much. Exercise your choice. You get a choice when 2046 01:55:11.720 --> 01:55:13.800 it comes to your medical care. Learn more online. The 2047 01:55:13.840 --> 01:55:18.000 website is Affordable Medimaging dot com.

Before I get you know, every time we 2071 01:56:39.840 --> 01:56:41.399 go out of Breakman, you give me something else I 2072 01:56:41.439 --> 01:56:43.199 want to talk about. I want you to, really, really 2073 01:56:43.319 --> 01:56:47.119 quickly just give us an update on the status of 2074 01:56:47.279 --> 01:56:50.800 the Hyde Park redevelopment, which requires a zoning change, a 2075 01:56:51.079 --> 01:56:54.640 variance from the zoning laws. Now Hyde Park has a 2076 01:56:54.800 --> 01:56:57.560 say on certain matters. They've got their own community council 2077 01:56:57.960 --> 01:57:00.159 and they're against it. The citizens of Hyde Park don't 2078 01:57:00.199 --> 01:57:02.159 want that, absolutely one percent. 2079 01:57:02.399 --> 01:57:02.439 No. 2080 01:57:03.600 --> 01:57:08.000 In my backyard. The City of Cincinnati City Council wants it. 2081 01:57:08.680 --> 01:57:08.880 Well. 2082 01:57:09.119 --> 01:57:11.680 I believe that they will vote to approve it if 2083 01:57:12.079 --> 01:57:15.760 but only because they're so far in the pocket of 2084 01:57:15.800 --> 01:57:16.600 these developers. 2085 01:57:16.800 --> 01:57:19.800 Right, We've talked about how influential these developers are with 2086 01:57:19.920 --> 01:57:24.000 the city council members in the area. So if the 2087 01:57:24.079 --> 01:57:27.119 city pushes it forward and approves it, that trumps what 2088 01:57:27.319 --> 01:57:30.920 the voters in Hyde Park want. Yes, absolutely, which may 2089 01:57:31.000 --> 01:57:33.439 have a significant outcome on the upcoming elections. 2090 01:57:33.840 --> 01:57:36.159 Well, I would think so if you've got a voting 2091 01:57:36.239 --> 01:57:38.840 block over they have over three thousand, I think I 2092 01:57:38.960 --> 01:57:41.520 heard the number thirty five hundred signatures on a petition. 2093 01:57:41.680 --> 01:57:43.560 Now that's a pretty big voting block. 2094 01:57:43.800 --> 01:57:47.239 And that's a significant amount of moneyed voters as well. Yes, 2095 01:57:47.319 --> 01:57:49.880 it is. They sometimes write campaign checks. 2096 01:57:49.960 --> 01:57:53.840 And here's the thing. They're not opposing development. They're opposing 2097 01:57:53.880 --> 01:57:57.159 this development because it doesn't conform to the current zoning right, 2098 01:57:57.840 --> 01:58:00.800 and it seems like a no brainer for the council 2099 01:58:00.880 --> 01:58:03.760 to say, you know what, let's think about this some more. 2100 01:58:04.319 --> 01:58:07.319 No, Okay, I got my popcorn out on that one, 2101 01:58:07.399 --> 01:58:09.720 and none of this influences me, But man, I'm telling 2102 01:58:09.760 --> 01:58:12.880 you that could have a sizeable, sizeable influence on the 2103 01:58:13.319 --> 01:58:16.000 upcoming election. So pivoting over to that. You were there 2104 01:58:16.039 --> 01:58:18.239 for the debate the other night, I was what'd you think? 2105 01:58:18.640 --> 01:58:20.800 What was your takeaway? Because what I heard primarily from 2106 01:58:20.880 --> 01:58:23.680 Jim Kiefer. I mean, he did get into some specific topics, 2107 01:58:23.760 --> 01:58:28.720 but generally speaking, the moderator was quite biased in favor 2108 01:58:28.720 --> 01:58:29.640 of aftab pur Ball. 2109 01:58:30.079 --> 01:58:32.000 I think for the most part, yes, I mean early, 2110 01:58:32.199 --> 01:58:34.920 the first question out of the box for all three, well, 2111 01:58:35.000 --> 01:58:39.199 for the two Republicans, the question was what qualifies you 2112 01:58:39.319 --> 01:58:43.079 to be mayor? And then for Mayor Pervoll, the question 2113 01:58:43.399 --> 01:58:45.520 was what have been your accomplishments? 2114 01:58:46.000 --> 01:58:47.439 Okay, so right off the bat. 2115 01:58:48.119 --> 01:58:51.560 So that led him into probably it was much longer 2116 01:58:51.600 --> 01:58:55.000 than two minutes. A whole narrative, which is all he's 2117 01:58:55.039 --> 01:58:59.600 all about, is narrative of all his accomplishments, including the 2118 01:58:59.720 --> 01:59:04.359 real road sale. He took credit for the Brent Spence Bridge, 2119 01:59:04.399 --> 01:59:07.079 even though that's been an op you know, an ongoing 2120 01:59:07.159 --> 01:59:08.199 saga for decades. 2121 01:59:08.399 --> 01:59:10.159 Obama campaign in front of the bridge. 2122 01:59:10.479 --> 01:59:14.960 He took credit for connected communities, which nobody likes. And 2123 01:59:15.079 --> 01:59:17.920 so he went through all of his accomplishments and which 2124 01:59:17.960 --> 01:59:21.800 I think is a good thing, so that Corey Bowman 2125 01:59:21.920 --> 01:59:25.600 knows exactly what his narrative is and can start poking 2126 01:59:25.640 --> 01:59:26.079 holes in it. 2127 01:59:26.640 --> 01:59:29.560 I agree, it's a perfect setup. It's like bullet points. 2128 01:59:30.119 --> 01:59:32.800 Here's what Pervoll is proud of and his accomplishments. Here's 2129 01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:35.680 why it was a bad idea and a bad thing. Yes, 2130 01:59:36.399 --> 01:59:37.800 and template. 2131 01:59:38.920 --> 01:59:42.079 So I went to City Hall yesterday, to the City 2132 01:59:42.159 --> 01:59:46.920 council meeting, and I suggested that or I said, one 2133 01:59:47.159 --> 01:59:49.880 question that wasn't asked, that should have been asked, is 2134 01:59:50.640 --> 01:59:54.760 the candidates that emerged from the primary, will you commit 2135 01:59:55.600 --> 01:59:57.640 to additional debates in the general election? 2136 01:59:59.199 --> 02:00:01.600 And of course council and the mayor don't have to 2137 02:00:01.720 --> 02:00:05.439 answer questions that you pose, but you pose it anyway. 2138 02:00:05.520 --> 02:00:06.920 What was the reaction from Prowall? 2139 02:00:07.439 --> 02:00:10.119 He was pretty deadpan. Actually, I'm sure he doesn't have 2140 02:00:10.319 --> 02:00:13.039 much of a reaction, which which kind of leads to 2141 02:00:13.640 --> 02:00:18.680 my working in DC for over twenty years, and this 2142 02:00:18.840 --> 02:00:20.800 is I think a lot of people do this. You 2143 02:00:20.920 --> 02:00:23.800 put politicians in one of two camps. They're either a 2144 02:00:23.880 --> 02:00:28.560 show horse or a workhorse. And Mayor Purvoll is a 2145 02:00:28.720 --> 02:00:33.079 show horse. I think Corey Bowman is a workhorse, and 2146 02:00:33.279 --> 02:00:35.880 so I think that's the choice that voters are going 2147 02:00:35.960 --> 02:00:40.119 to have. And mister Purvoll is all about the narratives, 2148 02:00:40.840 --> 02:00:46.119 and I don't really know that he feels what Corey 2149 02:00:46.159 --> 02:00:48.439 Bowman feels in terms of the condition of the city 2150 02:00:48.960 --> 02:00:49.840 and Corey. 2151 02:00:50.079 --> 02:00:52.520 I've talked to Corey face to face quite a few times. 2152 02:00:52.760 --> 02:00:55.239 I like the man. I like how engaged he is. 2153 02:00:55.760 --> 02:00:58.319 You know, he doesn't come across at all as a 2154 02:00:58.439 --> 02:01:03.399 polished politician, but he is passionate about the city. He 2155 02:01:03.800 --> 02:01:06.800 loves the city. He has invested in an area that 2156 02:01:06.880 --> 02:01:09.520 most people don't invest in, and he understands that there 2157 02:01:09.560 --> 02:01:11.720 are some people that really truly wanted to invest in 2158 02:01:11.800 --> 02:01:15.439 that particular area or by Dayton Street, but they had 2159 02:01:15.520 --> 02:01:18.199 roadblocks done the way by city council that it doesn't 2160 02:01:18.239 --> 02:01:21.279 conform with what their vision of a community should be, 2161 02:01:21.680 --> 02:01:25.760 you know, denser housing and this whole connected community's crap. 2162 02:01:25.840 --> 02:01:28.039 And since the developers that wanted to put money into 2163 02:01:28.039 --> 02:01:30.920 the neighborhood weren't planning on doing something like that, then 2164 02:01:31.119 --> 02:01:32.680 they just basically were told about And. 2165 02:01:32.760 --> 02:01:35.920 What Corey pointed out in the debate on Tuesday night 2166 02:01:36.199 --> 02:01:39.800 was that it seems like the city council wants to 2167 02:01:40.119 --> 02:01:42.840 rely on these big developers to come in and do 2168 02:01:42.960 --> 02:01:46.840 these big developments. Well, and meanwhile Corey wants to support 2169 02:01:47.640 --> 02:01:52.880 the local builders and the local developers that have designs 2170 02:01:52.960 --> 02:01:54.399 on smaller developments. 2171 02:01:54.479 --> 02:01:56.640 Yeah, that's the one big difference. 2172 02:01:57.600 --> 02:02:00.960 Well, yeah, I guess we'll see what happens. But I 2173 02:02:01.039 --> 02:02:05.239 thought Corey did a good job. Again, mister Purvol's very 2174 02:02:05.319 --> 02:02:10.279 polished and it was I thought it was a very informative, 2175 02:02:10.640 --> 02:02:12.319 very entertaining debate. 2176 02:02:12.680 --> 02:02:14.560 Great, well, I'm glad you're able to be there.

I appreciate what you're doing. I really do. 2184 02:02:36.000 --> 02:02:38.239 Thank you because we don't get reporting that are providing 2185 02:02:38.279 --> 02:02:41.520 this type of information, and if it is provided, it 2186 02:02:41.640 --> 02:02:44.640 comes across with a certain measure of bias. I agree 2187 02:02:44.680 --> 02:02:47.840 with that you just report the facts as you observe them. 2188 02:02:47.880 --> 02:02:49.960 Thanks again, brother, I appreciate you coming in and spending 2189 02:02:50.000 --> 02:02:53.880 time with a citizen watchdog podcast.

It's good to have you on 2214 02:04:00.680 --> 02:04:01.319 the show this morning. 2215 02:04:02.760 --> 02:04:05.279 Hello Brian our happy opening day. 2216 02:04:05.760 --> 02:04:07.840 Yeah, and you being the huge fan of the city 2217 02:04:07.880 --> 02:04:10.560 of Cincinnati. You are, I presume you are a Cincinnati 2218 02:04:10.640 --> 02:04:12.319 Reds fan. I think that kind of goes without saying, 2219 02:04:12.399 --> 02:04:16.760 right absolutely, And where are you going to be today, 2220 02:04:16.880 --> 02:04:17.600 Corey Bowman? 2221 02:04:19.439 --> 02:04:22.520 So obviously the parade is going on, I believe I'll 2222 02:04:22.560 --> 02:04:25.600 probably be I'll try to be around the Countain Square 2223 02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:29.640 area if I can get through the crowd and everything. 2224 02:04:29.720 --> 02:04:31.760 That's the main place I'm going to be. And then 2225 02:04:31.920 --> 02:04:33.479 me and my family are sending the game. 2226 02:04:33.880 --> 02:04:38.199 Great. Well, yeah, assuming you are identified, well, you're going 2227 02:04:38.239 --> 02:04:40.279 to have a Corey Bowman T shirt on or a 2228 02:04:40.319 --> 02:04:42.800 big sign that says Hi, I'm Corey Bowman and I'm 2229 02:04:42.840 --> 02:04:45.039 running for mayor, or some way that people can identify 2230 02:04:45.119 --> 02:04:46.840 you if they want to ask you a question or two. 2231 02:04:46.920 --> 02:04:50.600 Corey, I'm going to have my flip the Natty T 2232 02:04:50.760 --> 02:04:53.359 shirt on. I think that goes pretty well with the 2233 02:04:53.479 --> 02:04:57.239 Reds coloring and everything as well. And then yeah, I'll 2234 02:04:57.239 --> 02:05:00.239 probably have my pen on and hopefully people we can 2235 02:05:00.600 --> 02:05:02.399 hopefully the right people will recognize me. 2236 02:05:02.800 --> 02:05:05.119 I hope so. And you can get in touch with 2237 02:05:05.199 --> 02:05:08.560 Corey Bowman through his website Coreybowman dot com. There's his 2238 02:05:08.720 --> 02:05:12.319 campaign pledges and what he hopes to accomplish, an opportunity 2239 02:05:12.399 --> 02:05:14.960 to donate, maybe get a yard sign, get some Corey 2240 02:05:15.039 --> 02:05:17.199 Bowman T shirt so he can spread his name around. 2241 02:05:20.159 --> 02:05:21.760 What did you think of the debate when you look 2242 02:05:21.840 --> 02:05:23.720 back on and reflect on it. Were you happy? Because 2243 02:05:23.960 --> 02:05:26.039 you know, Westside Jim was there. I know Todd Zenzer 2244 02:05:26.159 --> 02:05:28.000 was there. He just got done talking about it. He 2245 02:05:28.079 --> 02:05:29.800 said it came off he came off pretty well. 2246 02:05:32.319 --> 02:05:33.199 Well, that means a lot. 2247 02:05:33.319 --> 02:05:33.439 You know. 2248 02:05:33.520 --> 02:05:37.439 It was my first political debate outside of just family dinners, 2249 02:05:38.079 --> 02:05:41.840 and so I felt really good about where we came 2250 02:05:41.880 --> 02:05:44.560 across at the end of the night. You know, I 2251 02:05:44.600 --> 02:05:47.239 don't want to say that I came in with low expectations, 2252 02:05:47.239 --> 02:05:49.840 but I did. I just want to come through knowing 2253 02:05:49.960 --> 02:05:52.119 that we stood our ground and that we were able 2254 02:05:52.159 --> 02:05:53.920 to go toe to toe with him, And I believe 2255 02:05:53.960 --> 02:05:57.039 that's exactly what happened. I believe that there was a 2256 02:05:57.159 --> 02:05:59.520 lot of valid points that we made and we gave 2257 02:05:59.600 --> 02:06:00.960 people opportunity to see. 2258 02:06:00.840 --> 02:06:01.520 What we stand for. 2259 02:06:02.239 --> 02:06:06.319 That's great. And understand from the reports, I got that 2260 02:06:07.439 --> 02:06:11.720 Perval kind of ignoring the other candidate and really focusing 2261 02:06:12.039 --> 02:06:14.279 his attention more on you, And I think that sort 2262 02:06:14.319 --> 02:06:16.239 of speaks volume for the likelihood that you are going 2263 02:06:16.319 --> 02:06:17.680 to win in the primary. It's going to be you 2264 02:06:17.800 --> 02:06:20.239 head to head with with have to have pur ball. 2265 02:06:22.039 --> 02:06:24.439 Well, yeah, with everything with the campaign, you know, whenever 2266 02:06:24.479 --> 02:06:27.359 we got getting the signatures to get on the ballot, 2267 02:06:27.600 --> 02:06:29.760 I try to stay as tunnel visioned as I can, 2268 02:06:30.279 --> 02:06:33.039 and so we've gotten a lot of positive feedback about 2269 02:06:33.079 --> 02:06:35.720 the primary. But I'm just telling people we have to 2270 02:06:35.800 --> 02:06:39.479 get out and vote. You know, specifically, I'm calling on 2271 02:06:39.600 --> 02:06:42.600 all the Republicans in Cincinnati that if you believe that 2272 02:06:42.680 --> 02:06:44.840 we could be the one on the ticket, for you 2273 02:06:45.079 --> 02:06:47.680 to get out April eighth through May sixth, as early 2274 02:06:47.800 --> 02:06:51.159 voting starts, and let's get this thing solidified. 2275 02:06:51.520 --> 02:06:53.439 Well, one of the things I just learned from Todd 2276 02:06:53.520 --> 02:06:56.399 Zenzer is you may end up finding yourself having a 2277 02:06:56.600 --> 02:07:00.399 pretty good support for my friends in Hyde Park. Often, 2278 02:07:00.840 --> 02:07:03.600 you know, they're educated, they're very you know what, It's 2279 02:07:03.640 --> 02:07:07.079 a typically you know, stereotypically wealthy community but quite often 2280 02:07:07.199 --> 02:07:12.279 lean blue and support Democrat candidates. But this whole project 2281 02:07:12.359 --> 02:07:16.399 that they are all against, this redevelopment project. Their community 2282 02:07:16.439 --> 02:07:19.560 council voted against it. This idea that this huge developer 2283 02:07:19.640 --> 02:07:21.600 is going to come in and build these big structures 2284 02:07:21.640 --> 02:07:24.920 which don't know, are completely inconsistent with the vibe and 2285 02:07:25.000 --> 02:07:29.079 the architectural style of that historic community. But Cincinnati City 2286 02:07:29.159 --> 02:07:32.119 Council looks likely to approve it, which means that trumps 2287 02:07:32.720 --> 02:07:35.079 what the Hyde Park voters want. So you might find 2288 02:07:35.119 --> 02:07:37.119 yourself in some good company in Hyde Park. Corey. 2289 02:07:39.239 --> 02:07:41.680 Yeah, well, I mean, if you're going with the citizens 2290 02:07:41.760 --> 02:07:44.159 and what they want to do, then in local government you. 2291 02:07:44.159 --> 02:07:45.920 Should find yourself a good company. 2292 02:07:46.880 --> 02:07:49.359 You know. Whenever all this development was first happening and 2293 02:07:49.479 --> 02:07:51.720 we were researching it, that was a big thing we 2294 02:07:51.840 --> 02:07:55.199 realized is that the opinions of the community councils were 2295 02:07:55.239 --> 02:07:58.760 being completely ignored through the process. They said that they 2296 02:07:58.840 --> 02:08:02.319 did some preliminary to get the opinions of voters, but 2297 02:08:02.520 --> 02:08:06.720 when it was about to be solidified, people made their 2298 02:08:06.800 --> 02:08:09.039 voices loud and clear that they did not want this 2299 02:08:09.159 --> 02:08:12.640 to happen in High Park, and those voices, it looks like, 2300 02:08:12.720 --> 02:08:14.760 are just being ignored by the local government. 2301 02:08:15.319 --> 02:08:17.640 Well, and that's something that you experienced in your own life. 2302 02:08:17.720 --> 02:08:19.720 Last time you're on you told me about there were 2303 02:08:19.720 --> 02:08:23.920 a lot of developers, small developers, not politically connected developers 2304 02:08:24.680 --> 02:08:27.000 who wanted to put a lot of you know, investment 2305 02:08:27.079 --> 02:08:30.199 and money into rehabilitating some of the houses in your neighborhood. 2306 02:08:30.199 --> 02:08:32.319 That's roughly around Dayton Street, right, Corey. 2307 02:08:33.760 --> 02:08:37.079 Yeah, it's around they called bay Miller Block Dayton Street, 2308 02:08:37.439 --> 02:08:38.640 really close to Lynn Street. 2309 02:08:39.039 --> 02:08:43.359 Okay. So real developers with real projects and real money 2310 02:08:43.399 --> 02:08:46.199 that will help the community, because any investment is better 2311 02:08:46.239 --> 02:08:49.479 than leaving something dormant and empty. And yet the city 2312 02:08:49.520 --> 02:08:52.239 of Cincinnati throws roadblocks up but because it isn't part 2313 02:08:52.279 --> 02:08:58.600 of their connected community's vision. I mean that, I just 2314 02:08:58.760 --> 02:09:00.680 I really quite often, Corey, you go back to what 2315 02:09:00.840 --> 02:09:05.600 the what the citizens want, what the constituents want, versus 2316 02:09:05.680 --> 02:09:09.640 what special interest group or moneyed developers want. And when 2317 02:09:09.680 --> 02:09:12.000 the city defaults and goes with the money developers and 2318 02:09:12.119 --> 02:09:14.840 these political action groups or these you know, non governmental 2319 02:09:14.960 --> 02:09:22.079 you know, outrage constantly organizations which running contrast to what 2320 02:09:22.159 --> 02:09:24.840 the voters want. You know, you got a real potential 2321 02:09:24.960 --> 02:09:26.479 on this one, in spite of the fact that you're 2322 02:09:26.479 --> 02:09:28.279 a Republican running in a blue city. I think more 2323 02:09:28.279 --> 02:09:30.159 and more people waking up to this kind of reality. 2324 02:09:30.439 --> 02:09:33.840 It's the connected people. It's not what you stand for. 2325 02:09:34.119 --> 02:09:38.039 It's not the specific values of Democrats or Republicans, it's 2326 02:09:38.079 --> 02:09:41.159 what's good for the citizenry. And they're not delivering on 2327 02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:43.880 what's good for the city of Cincinnati and the voters. 2328 02:09:45.760 --> 02:09:48.520 You're exactly right, And to be honest with you, when 2329 02:09:48.560 --> 02:09:51.479 I look at what we're standing for, I'm amazed because 2330 02:09:51.520 --> 02:09:54.960 I feel like I'm a nineteen seventy Democrat, you know, 2331 02:09:55.079 --> 02:09:58.079 finding the establishment of big times. Yeah, you know, government 2332 02:09:58.359 --> 02:10:02.359 or corporations. But yet I'm running on a Republican ticket 2333 02:10:02.399 --> 02:10:05.800 and I'm just sitting here like, weren't Isn't this supposed 2334 02:10:05.840 --> 02:10:08.239 to be the party that is for the common man, 2335 02:10:08.319 --> 02:10:11.039 that's supposed to be fighting against this stuff. But the 2336 02:10:11.399 --> 02:10:14.560 developers and the city officials, the ones, these are the 2337 02:10:14.600 --> 02:10:17.920 ones that are kind of holding back. In my mind, 2338 02:10:18.159 --> 02:10:20.399 what I think is one of the best things about 2339 02:10:20.479 --> 02:10:23.800 our city is the small businesses. The local developers might 2340 02:10:23.960 --> 02:10:26.680 be able to flip one or two properties at a time, 2341 02:10:27.279 --> 02:10:30.119 they're really not getting the benefit out of any of those. 2342 02:10:31.039 --> 02:10:33.199 No, they're not. And I think more people are waking 2343 02:10:33.279 --> 02:10:35.720 up to that reality, which gives you a fighting chance. 2344 02:10:35.800 --> 02:10:39.199 Corey and a city that you know, a Republican couldn't 2345 02:10:39.199 --> 02:10:42.680 get elected in I just see this opportunity, this possibility. 2346 02:10:43.039 --> 02:10:45.199 Now after what's the same. For the sake of discussion, 2347 02:10:45.319 --> 02:10:49.000 you win the primary, it's just you and after Purwall 2348 02:10:49.479 --> 02:10:51.680 that's when the campaign kicks off in Ernest. I imagine 2349 02:10:51.720 --> 02:10:53.039 you're going to be hitting the ground in all of 2350 02:10:53.119 --> 02:10:55.640 the neighborhoods in the city. Is that correct? 2351 02:10:57.239 --> 02:11:00.960 Yeah? I mean our strategy we have to mobilize and 2352 02:11:01.079 --> 02:11:04.640 unify the Republican Party in our city because the last 2353 02:11:04.760 --> 02:11:08.600 mayoral election only twenty six percent of voters showed up, 2354 02:11:08.720 --> 02:11:13.000 So you've got seventy four seventy three percent of voters 2355 02:11:13.039 --> 02:11:15.800 that didn't even feel like they had a voice, that 2356 02:11:15.880 --> 02:11:17.920 didn't even feel like it mattered if they came out 2357 02:11:17.960 --> 02:11:21.319 and vote. So for this primary, we're primarily focusing on 2358 02:11:21.680 --> 02:11:24.960 the Republican Party or those that we know just have 2359 02:11:25.079 --> 02:11:28.039 felt like they haven't had a voice. And then after 2360 02:11:28.119 --> 02:11:30.399 the primary, that's when we really kick it into gear 2361 02:11:30.479 --> 02:11:33.600 because we've got to go to these communities and show 2362 02:11:33.720 --> 02:11:34.720 them that were. 2363 02:11:34.560 --> 02:11:37.760 The right people for the job. Well, and I understand 2364 02:11:37.840 --> 02:11:40.399 the after have Purvol pretty much gave you an outline 2365 02:11:40.600 --> 02:11:44.039 on your for your campaign and his opening statement at 2366 02:11:44.079 --> 02:11:45.960 the debate, he went through all of what he thought 2367 02:11:46.000 --> 02:11:49.319 were his accomplishments, many of which I can't I don't 2368 02:11:49.359 --> 02:11:51.199 think you can call an accomplishment Corey. 2369 02:11:53.720 --> 02:11:53.920 Yeah. 2370 02:11:54.000 --> 02:11:57.239 I mean, you know, when it comes to statistics and everything. 2371 02:11:57.319 --> 02:11:59.760 I mean, you read some of the articles about the debate, 2372 02:12:00.039 --> 02:12:02.119 they said that it wasn't in our favor, and then 2373 02:12:02.359 --> 02:12:04.600 people that were in person they say it was in 2374 02:12:04.720 --> 02:12:08.279 our favor. So I think that whatever your perspective is, 2375 02:12:08.720 --> 02:12:11.720 you really got to go to the facts and the statistics. 2376 02:12:12.079 --> 02:12:14.840 And I think one of the biggest things that was 2377 02:12:14.920 --> 02:12:18.720 said was that crime has been low, that crime over 2378 02:12:18.760 --> 02:12:21.680 the last four years is low, and really that's not 2379 02:12:21.840 --> 02:12:25.680 the case. There's a few examples of very small incremental 2380 02:12:26.680 --> 02:12:30.640 decrease when it comes to homicides and shootings, but overall, 2381 02:12:30.960 --> 02:12:35.119 when you look at the statistics, you're looking at aggravated 2382 02:12:36.279 --> 02:12:40.039 assault is actually up eight percent, I believe, and then 2383 02:12:40.079 --> 02:12:43.720 you're looking at auto theft is up forty percent, and 2384 02:12:43.760 --> 02:12:45.840 then you're looking at that, and then you're looking at 2385 02:12:46.000 --> 02:12:50.479 robbery that's up nineteen percent, and overall the crime statistics 2386 02:12:50.560 --> 02:12:53.479 this is talking about from twenty twenty two, first year 2387 02:12:53.520 --> 02:12:57.079 he took office, to twenty twenty four. Overall, the crime 2388 02:12:57.119 --> 02:13:00.399 reporting is up two point six percent. And so if 2389 02:13:00.439 --> 02:13:04.359 you just focus or cherry pick certain statistics, you can 2390 02:13:04.520 --> 02:13:07.840 say whatever you want about what's being accomplished. But if 2391 02:13:07.880 --> 02:13:10.840 you're in the downtown area, you realize this isn't the case. 2392 02:13:12.239 --> 02:13:16.720 Well yeah, and I like to think of the quote 2393 02:13:16.760 --> 02:13:19.279 unquote uninformed voter, the one that really doesn't pay attention 2394 02:13:19.359 --> 02:13:22.239 to politics. But if he hears the mayor suggests that 2395 02:13:22.319 --> 02:13:25.079 crime is down, and he or she lives in a 2396 02:13:25.279 --> 02:13:28.119 crime laden neighborhood, they're not going to buy that. 2397 02:13:28.680 --> 02:13:28.840 You know. 2398 02:13:29.039 --> 02:13:31.960 It's like, don't tell me crime is down. You don't 2399 02:13:32.039 --> 02:13:33.960 live where I do. Apparently I could tell you all 2400 02:13:34.039 --> 02:13:35.319 day long how bad crime is. 2401 02:13:37.159 --> 02:13:40.520 No exactly, And you know, voters that are in these areas. 2402 02:13:40.880 --> 02:13:43.319 It used to be that you can just concentrate all 2403 02:13:43.439 --> 02:13:46.319 these failed policies into an area like the West End, 2404 02:13:46.640 --> 02:13:49.479 and you can just always, you know, count on their 2405 02:13:49.600 --> 02:13:51.800 vote no matter what, because you just think that they're 2406 02:13:51.880 --> 02:13:55.239 ignorant to it. But all of these failed policies now 2407 02:13:55.239 --> 02:13:58.239 are bleeding into all these other communities and people are 2408 02:13:58.279 --> 02:14:00.560 starting to wake up all around the district. 2409 02:14:00.720 --> 02:14:04.680 Yeah, well, Corey, you know, Coreybowman dot com. I encourage 2410 02:14:04.720 --> 02:14:07.279 my listeners, most notably in the greater Cincinnati area. You 2411 02:14:07.399 --> 02:14:09.319 can help him out, even if you don't live in 2412 02:14:09.359 --> 02:14:12.800 downtown Cincinnati. What happens and goes on in the city 2413 02:14:12.840 --> 02:14:15.359 of Cincinnati, the decisions are made by city Council and 2414 02:14:15.439 --> 02:14:19.000 the mayor have a broad impact that transcends the boundary 2415 02:14:19.039 --> 02:14:21.560 of the city limits. So the good it's good for 2416 02:14:21.680 --> 02:14:24.079 all of us. If the city conditions improve, more people 2417 02:14:24.079 --> 02:14:27.720 would likely to consider the area, generally speaking, including in 2418 02:14:27.840 --> 02:14:30.840 Hamilton County the surrounding counties. If we have a stable, 2419 02:14:31.039 --> 02:14:34.840 vibrant downtown Cincinnati, it's important for everybody. So with that 2420 02:14:34.960 --> 02:14:38.000 in mind, get involved, get engaged, help Corey out, and 2421 02:14:38.039 --> 02:14:39.880 maybe we can have a change in this in this 2422 02:14:39.960 --> 02:14:41.880 community for the better. I know you're passionate about the 2423 02:14:41.920 --> 02:14:43.800 city you love so much, Corey. It's why you're doing 2424 02:14:43.880 --> 02:14:47.239 this and why you're running. And I don't know Aftab. 2425 02:14:48.039 --> 02:14:51.359 I think he just enjoys being a politician more than 2426 02:14:51.479 --> 02:14:53.760 he is passionate about the Cincinnati area. 2427 02:14:56.760 --> 02:14:59.119 Well, I'd like to think that people get into public 2428 02:14:59.239 --> 02:15:01.880 service to help people, and that's ultimately what we're in 2429 02:15:02.000 --> 02:15:02.399 this to do. 2430 02:15:02.720 --> 02:15:04.800 And so I tell people is if you're voting for. 2431 02:15:04.920 --> 02:15:07.479 Me, you're not going for somebody that moved to Cincinnati 2432 02:15:07.560 --> 02:15:11.000 to get into politics. Moved to Cincinnati in the downtown 2433 02:15:11.119 --> 02:15:14.039 area because it's from here. He loves the city and 2434 02:15:14.159 --> 02:15:16.760 he wants to see the best sports citizens there. 2435 02:15:16.800 --> 02:15:19.399 You are, Coreybowman dot com. Is how you help him out? Corey, 2436 02:15:19.439 --> 02:15:21.159 we'll have you back on the morning show soon. Will 2437 02:15:21.159 --> 02:15:23.039 we show all the best on the campaign trail as 2438 02:15:23.079 --> 02:15:26.319 we head on into the primaries. Hey, and enjoy Opening Day. 2439 02:15:26.359 --> 02:15:28.479 It's just what's a wonderful tradition we have here in 2440 02:15:28.560 --> 02:15:29.800 the city and one of the things that makes the 2441 02:15:29.840 --> 02:15:32.279 city so great. And we'll keep our fingers crossed for 2442 02:15:32.319 --> 02:15:33.520 a victory for the Reds today. 2443 02:15:34.880 --> 02:15:37.279 No, absolutely. I told my son, my five year old son, 2444 02:15:37.359 --> 02:15:39.119 last night. I'm surprised him. I told him we were 2445 02:15:39.159 --> 02:15:41.039 going to the game, and I think that was a 2446 02:15:41.079 --> 02:15:43.399 mistake because I don't think he slept the next three hours. 2447 02:15:45.520 --> 02:15:48.680 It's his first game, it's his first. 2448 02:15:48.560 --> 02:15:50.560 Opening Day game. We make a point to go to 2449 02:15:50.600 --> 02:15:53.279 at least three to four games a year, but he's 2450 02:15:53.319 --> 02:15:55.479 always wanted to go to Opening Day because he sees 2451 02:15:55.520 --> 02:15:58.079 all the pictures of everything so we're all very excited. 2452 02:15:58.439 --> 02:16:00.239 Oh that's cool. And if you want to talk to 2453 02:16:00.359 --> 02:16:04.239 Corey Bowman, find him on Fountain Square during the parade time, Corey, 2454 02:16:04.319 --> 02:16:06.880 have a great day today, be safe and we'll talk 2455 02:16:06.960 --> 02:16:11.159 real soon. Thank you so much, my pleasure. Eight eighteen 2456 02:16:11.199 --> 02:16:13.159 Here if you have KRCD Talk station, we got a 2457 02:16:13.199 --> 02:16:16.119 little more to talk about. Plus Jay Rattliffe coming up 2458 02:16:16.119 --> 02:16:17.319 at bottom of the hour. Look forward to that and 2459 02:16:17.399 --> 02:16:19.079 I hope you do too. I'll be right back. 2460 02:16:19.119 --> 02:16:20.680 Fifty five krs. 2461 02:16:22.960 --> 02:16:28.720 Hey twenty one if you five CARSD Talk Station Opening Day. 2462 02:16:30.520 --> 02:16:32.319 I hope the Reds have a good season this year. 2463 02:16:32.399 --> 02:16:34.040 I know it's easy to say that out loud, but 2464 02:16:34.319 --> 02:16:37.079 we've quite often gotten let down over the years, so anyway, 2465 02:16:37.159 --> 02:16:39.200 I know it's it's a proud tradition. It's one of 2466 02:16:39.239 --> 02:16:41.200 the things that makes sense. Any great opening day parade 2467 02:16:41.319 --> 02:16:44.479 is phenomenal. And as I've said earlier, if even if 2468 02:16:44.520 --> 02:16:48.200 you're not a baseball fan, you know, it's just cool 2469 02:16:48.280 --> 02:16:51.159 to see all the people down there and that everybody 2470 02:16:51.200 --> 02:16:53.239 gets along. We just there's like one day a year 2471 02:16:53.319 --> 02:16:55.120 you can count on where there's really probably not going 2472 02:16:55.159 --> 02:16:57.000 to be much crime or any crime, and that people 2473 02:16:57.040 --> 02:16:59.600 get along. All people of all different races and creeds 2474 02:16:59.600 --> 02:17:02.520 and cities all have one thing in common. They like 2475 02:17:02.559 --> 02:17:06.280 the reds managed to play nicely together. Oh if we 2476 02:17:06.319 --> 02:17:11.120 could only do it that way all year long. Anyway, 2477 02:17:12.159 --> 02:17:13.920 I just have to go back over this. Joe and 2478 02:17:13.959 --> 02:17:15.799 I were having some fun with this this morning, and 2479 02:17:15.840 --> 02:17:18.840 in spite of the much much, much broader problems we 2480 02:17:18.959 --> 02:17:21.559 have in the federal government and spending. And thank god 2481 02:17:21.600 --> 02:17:24.280 for the Apartment of Governmental Efficiency for letting us know 2482 02:17:24.479 --> 02:17:25.959 that you and I had to go to work and 2483 02:17:26.120 --> 02:17:28.639 pay taxes to get this stuff accomplished. And thank god 2484 02:17:28.680 --> 02:17:31.799 for the Department of Government Efficiency for terminating it before 2485 02:17:31.879 --> 02:17:37.479 the money went out the door. Announcements made earlier this week, 2486 02:17:39.479 --> 02:17:42.479 agents the DOTCH terminated one hundred thirteen wasteful contracts with 2487 02:17:42.520 --> 02:17:45.000 a sealing value of four point seven billion dollars, which 2488 02:17:45.040 --> 02:17:47.559 results in three point three billion dollars in savings for 2489 02:17:47.639 --> 02:17:51.120 you and me, including one hundred and forty five thousand 2490 02:17:51.159 --> 02:17:56.680 dollars USDA consulting contract for Peru climate change activities. 2491 02:17:57.719 --> 02:17:58.040 Peru. 2492 02:17:59.399 --> 02:18:01.559 It does not and there and this sort of it 2493 02:18:01.719 --> 02:18:04.239 is like a downhill slide in terms of the epics 2494 02:18:04.280 --> 02:18:07.719 stupidity of these programs that thankfully had been canceled. Why 2495 02:18:07.879 --> 02:18:13.280 is Elon Musk evil for canceling this Department of Labor 2496 02:18:13.319 --> 02:18:15.879 canceled a five hundred and seventy seven million dollar American 2497 02:18:16.159 --> 02:18:19.040 last grants totally two hundred and thirty seven million in savings. 2498 02:18:19.959 --> 02:18:23.920 Savings from canceled contracts included ten million dollars for gender 2499 02:18:24.159 --> 02:18:30.079 equity in the Mexican workplace, twelve point two million for 2500 02:18:30.360 --> 02:18:34.000 worker empowerment in South America, and a comment I made earlier, 2501 02:18:34.040 --> 02:18:37.639 I mean South America is a continent, millions and millions 2502 02:18:37.680 --> 02:18:41.200 of people there. I mean, how quickly would you go 2503 02:18:41.280 --> 02:18:43.600 through two point two million dollars in an entire continent? 2504 02:18:43.680 --> 02:18:45.959 And how much how much you know, how how much 2505 02:18:46.000 --> 02:18:48.239 worker empowerment whatever the hell that's supposed to mean? How 2506 02:18:48.280 --> 02:18:51.399 much worker empowerment could you actually bring to an entire continent? 2507 02:18:52.879 --> 02:18:56.079 Six point twenty five million for quote, improving respect for 2508 02:18:56.239 --> 02:19:02.639 workers' rights in agricultural supply chains in Honduras, Quantmaa, Guatemala 2509 02:19:02.719 --> 02:19:07.680 and El Salvador. Five million to elevate women's applicant women's 2510 02:19:07.680 --> 02:19:11.639 app or participation rather in the workplace in West Africa 2511 02:19:12.440 --> 02:19:16.399 four point three million to assist foreign migrant workers in Malaysia. 2512 02:19:17.319 --> 02:19:20.399 Three million dollars to enhance this social security like initial 2513 02:19:20.520 --> 02:19:23.600 cap as in what the United States Social Security system apparently, 2514 02:19:23.719 --> 02:19:27.319 so I'm just relying on Fox News reporting on this anyway. 2515 02:19:27.360 --> 02:19:30.559 Three million dollars to enhance social security access and worker 2516 02:19:30.719 --> 02:19:38.840 protection for internal migrant workers in Bangladesh. Three million dollars 2517 02:19:38.879 --> 02:19:42.280 for safe and inclusive work environments in the Southern African 2518 02:19:42.360 --> 02:19:48.319 country of Lesotho. Had to look that one up. So 2519 02:19:50.799 --> 02:19:54.559 the quest continues. And I went over this again because 2520 02:19:54.879 --> 02:19:59.040 it's so epically dumb and stupid, and it's offensive to 2521 02:19:59.159 --> 02:20:02.120 me as an American taxpayer, that this money is gone 2522 02:20:02.159 --> 02:20:04.600 out the door. And I am the last person in 2523 02:20:04.680 --> 02:20:08.360 the world to believe that that twelve point two million 2524 02:20:08.399 --> 02:20:11.440 dollars by way of illustration for worker empowerment in South 2525 02:20:11.479 --> 02:20:14.200 America actually left the country and wasn't put to some 2526 02:20:14.440 --> 02:20:20.079 other probably nefarious from my perspective purpose. And Musk is evil, 2527 02:20:20.120 --> 02:20:21.840 and you're gonna You're gonna go out and key up 2528 02:20:22.319 --> 02:20:25.120 a tesla because he is revealing this kind of stuff 2529 02:20:25.120 --> 02:20:29.000 to the American people.

That 2556 02:21:54.200 --> 02:21:55.680 makes it a double nice thing. 2557 02:21:55.920 --> 02:21:58.920 It really is. Are you going to be into Are 2558 02:21:58.959 --> 02:22:00.680 you in You're not the South and commands, so you're 2559 02:22:00.719 --> 02:22:01.799 in town? Are you going to the game by any 2560 02:22:01.879 --> 02:22:03.600 hands or the pred We are not. 2561 02:22:03.760 --> 02:22:05.639 And I've gone to a couple of opening days and 2562 02:22:06.639 --> 02:22:09.760 it's just been incredible. But this year now that but 2563 02:22:10.120 --> 02:22:12.159 you know, we've got the Atlanta Brave season tickets, so 2564 02:22:12.360 --> 02:22:16.040 we will be going to that opener next weekend. But no, 2565 02:22:16.639 --> 02:22:19.760 we're in Cincinnati and joined this wonderful weather that we 2566 02:22:19.879 --> 02:22:23.200 have here. But I'm excited. I mean, I work with 2567 02:22:23.280 --> 02:22:26.280 Boston radio stations and Cleveland radio stations and they both 2568 02:22:26.319 --> 02:22:28.159 say to me, Jay, you don't understand what you've got 2569 02:22:28.319 --> 02:22:30.760 that manager. They took our young team and took us 2570 02:22:30.799 --> 02:22:32.719 to the World Series. You guys have our young team 2571 02:22:32.760 --> 02:22:35.360 and it's not going to be like the Reds of old, 2572 02:22:35.399 --> 02:22:38.719 and of course I want to believe that, but you know, 2573 02:22:38.760 --> 02:22:41.319 we so often feel like Charlie Brown with Lucy holding 2574 02:22:41.319 --> 02:22:41.879 the football, and. 2575 02:22:42.600 --> 02:22:43.360 You just don't know. 2576 02:22:44.079 --> 02:22:45.799 That's a good parallel right there. 2577 02:22:46.040 --> 02:22:48.399 Oh, it's a perfect analogy for all of us that 2578 02:22:48.600 --> 02:22:51.760 follow and plead for the Reds to win anytime this century. 2579 02:22:52.479 --> 02:22:54.520 It's like the one moment in time, you know, they 2580 02:22:54.520 --> 02:22:56.440 haven't played a game yet we can think about the 2581 02:22:56.639 --> 02:22:59.799 idea and the concept of the Reds getting a pennant, right, 2582 02:23:00.079 --> 02:23:02.319 it's like making it all the way so and that 2583 02:23:02.479 --> 02:23:05.799 that quite often is a fleeting hupe. Anyhow well, fingers 2584 02:23:05.879 --> 02:23:08.159 crossed with the Reds this year and whip. We got 2585 02:23:08.159 --> 02:23:09.920 a whole bunch of topics today which I dearly love. 2586 02:23:10.040 --> 02:23:13.959 Jay ratlifts and I commented out loud earlier it's like 2587 02:23:14.000 --> 02:23:16.079 every time I talk to you, I've got this sort 2588 02:23:16.120 --> 02:23:19.399 of running checklist reasons to fly and reasons not to fly. 2589 02:23:19.760 --> 02:23:22.760 Number one on the list reason not to fly taken 2590 02:23:22.840 --> 02:23:24.079 off from a taxiway. 2591 02:23:25.000 --> 02:23:29.959 Oh my gosh, this one defies my ability to understand. 2592 02:23:30.079 --> 02:23:33.559 I know you have a highly trained. 2593 02:23:35.760 --> 02:23:37.920 Well I mean that's that's what they're. 2594 02:23:37.719 --> 02:23:39.680 Supposed to be, right, could be an equity higher. 2595 02:23:40.959 --> 02:23:44.000 Well, let's hope you're in the cockpit of a commercial 2596 02:23:44.040 --> 02:23:47.040 airliner and you're in Orlando. It's nine thirty in the morning, 2597 02:23:47.159 --> 02:23:48.600 so it's not night. You don't have the sun in 2598 02:23:48.639 --> 02:23:51.879 your ryot at sunrise, and you turn onto a taxiway 2599 02:23:51.959 --> 02:23:54.360 and you actually start the world to take off, and 2600 02:23:54.479 --> 02:23:57.239 it takes an alert air traffic controller, thank you very much, 2601 02:23:57.399 --> 02:23:59.879 that shut them down and fast to keep them from 2602 02:23:59.920 --> 02:24:04.000 taking off. Now understand that a taxiway would be like 2603 02:24:04.079 --> 02:24:06.920 you and I going down a one lade road versus 2604 02:24:07.079 --> 02:24:10.360 an interstate that has four lanes. And how you could 2605 02:24:10.440 --> 02:24:15.200 mistake that for that? I just it just it just 2606 02:24:15.360 --> 02:24:18.479 boggles my mind because as often as these men and 2607 02:24:18.520 --> 02:24:22.559 women fly and you pull out on taxiway, you're obviously 2608 02:24:22.639 --> 02:24:25.959 on that one lane road. You're obviously not on a runway. 2609 02:24:26.079 --> 02:24:28.399 It's not anywhere near us. I mean, it's at least 2610 02:24:28.440 --> 02:24:32.440 three to four times wider than the taxiway, doesn't. 2611 02:24:32.159 --> 02:24:35.280 It Also isn't it also illuminated with different colored lights? 2612 02:24:35.319 --> 02:24:36.840 Being a taxiway in lines? 2613 02:24:36.879 --> 02:24:39.639 I tell you the big signs that tell you turn here, yeah, 2614 02:24:39.680 --> 02:24:42.559 I mean they're out there as well as far as 2615 02:24:42.760 --> 02:24:47.159 as everything is just labeled out there. And I can 2616 02:24:47.239 --> 02:24:49.159 only think back and it's been like twenty five years 2617 02:24:49.159 --> 02:24:50.559 ago that we had something on the West coast. I 2618 02:24:50.559 --> 02:24:53.319 don't know if it was China Airlines, China Eastern, somebody 2619 02:24:53.840 --> 02:24:57.200 that did take off from a taxiway and they were 2620 02:24:57.239 --> 02:24:59.559 able to do it successfully. There were no injuries and 2621 02:24:59.559 --> 02:25:03.120 nobody got hurt, no aircraft damage or anything like that. 2622 02:25:03.280 --> 02:25:05.840 But you know, the taxiways are the things at the 2623 02:25:05.879 --> 02:25:08.639 airport when when we're moving around the airport, we're coming 2624 02:25:08.760 --> 02:25:12.319 up on an active runway, we request permission to cross 2625 02:25:12.360 --> 02:25:14.879 the runway from air traffic control if you're on the 2626 02:25:14.959 --> 02:25:16.920 ground or if you're in an aircraft. Now, if you're 2627 02:25:16.920 --> 02:25:19.440 in a taxiway, it's a little bit different, meaning that 2628 02:25:19.799 --> 02:25:22.120 if you've got somebody rolling down a taxiway, you could 2629 02:25:22.120 --> 02:25:24.360 have a piece of ground equipment out there, you could 2630 02:25:24.399 --> 02:25:26.360 have people working on the runway, you could have another 2631 02:25:26.360 --> 02:25:30.159 aircraft that's positioning going where it's opposed to. But the 2632 02:25:30.280 --> 02:25:33.760 Southwest Airline Slights was stopped from taking off. They were 2633 02:25:34.120 --> 02:25:35.719 they were turned to the gate as they needed to. 2634 02:25:35.879 --> 02:25:38.120 The pilots were replaced as they should have been, and 2635 02:25:38.239 --> 02:25:41.479 there's an ongoing investigation. I've got students that work in 2636 02:25:41.520 --> 02:25:44.159 the airline industry, and some of them for Southwest that 2637 02:25:44.239 --> 02:25:48.280 are captains, and they're like, Jay, I just I don't 2638 02:25:48.319 --> 02:25:50.799 understand this one. I just do not, because I always 2639 02:25:50.840 --> 02:25:52.799 trying to figure out, Okay, what could have led to 2640 02:25:52.879 --> 02:25:55.239 this kind of a mistake right taking place? And the 2641 02:25:55.360 --> 02:26:01.719 first thing I thought of was that not that might 2642 02:26:01.799 --> 02:26:04.639 have been a later thought, but my first thought, tragically 2643 02:26:04.799 --> 02:26:07.719 was the Common air crash in Lexington, because one of 2644 02:26:07.760 --> 02:26:11.360 the contributing factors of that aircraft disaster when that crew 2645 02:26:11.760 --> 02:26:14.680 lined up on the wrong shorter runway and took off 2646 02:26:14.959 --> 02:26:17.879 didn't have enough room in the plane crash, was they 2647 02:26:17.959 --> 02:26:22.000 were talking about things that didn't pertain to the operation 2648 02:26:22.079 --> 02:26:24.559 of the aircraft. Generally, a VACE administration has a very 2649 02:26:24.680 --> 02:26:27.879 clear sterile cockpit rule, and that says from the time 2650 02:26:27.920 --> 02:26:29.639 you push back from the gate until you're at an 2651 02:26:29.639 --> 02:26:33.440 altitude of ten thousand feet, every single thing that's discussed 2652 02:26:33.680 --> 02:26:39.520 is only regarding the aircraft. I like that that's the rule, 2653 02:26:39.559 --> 02:26:41.399 but they didn't. That was one of the things that 2654 02:26:41.440 --> 02:26:43.079 didn't happen on the Common air flight. They were talking 2655 02:26:43.120 --> 02:26:46.799 about everything, but and they those distractions cost live. So 2656 02:26:47.280 --> 02:26:48.760 one of the things I'll look at here was what 2657 02:26:48.920 --> 02:26:51.959 was the conversation going and did that lead to some 2658 02:26:52.200 --> 02:26:55.639 sort of distraction that caused this crew to make a mistake. 2659 02:26:55.719 --> 02:26:58.399 But brand, I just it's beyond my ability to comprehend this. 2660 02:26:58.639 --> 02:27:01.360 I've seen crews try to land on taxiways like at 2661 02:27:01.440 --> 02:27:04.639 night it's brightly lit, and I kind of get that 2662 02:27:04.840 --> 02:27:07.559 as far as sometimes initially you would line up for 2663 02:27:07.639 --> 02:27:09.959 the wrong thing, but to take off from one in 2664 02:27:10.000 --> 02:27:13.120 the middle of the morning, No, I've this one I've 2665 02:27:13.200 --> 02:27:13.879 never seen before. 2666 02:27:14.280 --> 02:27:18.479 All right, well, coming up, don't forget your passport. Eight 2667 02:27:18.559 --> 02:27:21.840 thirty six, fifty five cares of thetalkstasy and they'll go way. 2668 02:27:21.680 --> 02:27:24.040 Be right back fifty five krc. 2669 02:27:25.520 --> 02:27:26.239 Over it to day. 2670 02:27:27.120 --> 02:27:30.280 Showers are possible after two pm. That word possible, and 2671 02:27:30.440 --> 02:27:33.719 I'm going to say they're not happening. Hi, A fifty 2672 02:27:33.760 --> 02:27:35.680 eight day over night, a little forty eight with some showers, 2673 02:27:35.760 --> 02:27:38.719 seventy three tomorrow with morning showers and cloudy skies after 2674 02:27:38.840 --> 02:27:40.559 we got cloudy over night down at fifty seven, and 2675 02:27:40.840 --> 02:27:43.159 maybe some rain on Saturday as well.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five kar 2686 02:28:16.719 --> 02:28:18.040 scene the talk station. 2687 02:28:19.360 --> 02:28:24.360 Keep your Stupid Mouth Shut at age forty evy about 2688 02:28:24.399 --> 02:28:28.680 KCD talks days in I had in the International listener. 2689 02:28:28.920 --> 02:28:31.520 My friend Keith, who listens locally, was in Tokyo last week. 2690 02:28:31.559 --> 02:28:33.239 He let me know he was listening to the program 2691 02:28:33.360 --> 02:28:35.920 in Tokyo and his iHeartMedia app Jay and he just 2692 02:28:36.000 --> 02:28:37.680 let me know. He said they would landed in Dallas 2693 02:28:37.760 --> 02:28:40.479 Fort Worth on their way home. Pilot had to abort 2694 02:28:40.520 --> 02:28:43.079 the landing the last moon because the plane turned into 2695 02:28:43.319 --> 02:28:46.000 their runway. He said there was the pilot of the 2696 02:28:46.079 --> 02:28:49.680 plane was not happy, so Dallas Fort worth on that one. 2697 02:28:49.760 --> 02:28:51.559 I didn't see anything in the in the news on that, 2698 02:28:51.719 --> 02:28:53.559 but see it's. 2699 02:28:53.120 --> 02:28:56.319 A runway incursion. They happen every day, oh the con news. 2700 02:28:56.639 --> 02:28:58.840 And all it does is really tick off the crew 2701 02:28:58.879 --> 02:29:00.920 because then they have to power up, go back around 2702 02:29:00.959 --> 02:29:03.079 and get in line and in land. And of course 2703 02:29:03.159 --> 02:29:05.399 if you're making a tight connection, thank you very much. 2704 02:29:05.760 --> 02:29:08.440 Now you've got ten or fifteen, maybe twenty minutes actly 2705 02:29:08.879 --> 02:29:11.360 tacked onto that, which just takes you off even further. 2706 02:29:11.479 --> 02:29:13.319 But you know, everybody needs to be safe. 2707 02:29:13.399 --> 02:29:16.600 So not unusual is the operative point here. So that 2708 02:29:16.719 --> 02:29:20.040 happens every day. Okay, all right, sadly it doesn't like it. 2709 02:29:20.120 --> 02:29:21.000 Don't to minimize it. 2710 02:29:21.399 --> 02:29:25.280 But yeah, well at least he got out of the situation. Okay, Yeah, 2711 02:29:25.360 --> 02:29:28.399 don't forget your password passport you think a pilot would 2712 02:29:28.479 --> 02:29:30.639 like have that as a first order of business. 2713 02:29:30.399 --> 02:29:33.159 Jay, Most pilots have it in their go bags, so 2714 02:29:33.239 --> 02:29:36.200 they never it's their airline ID and their passport at 2715 02:29:36.239 --> 02:29:39.239 their international crew members. And I mean we had a 2716 02:29:39.360 --> 02:29:42.680 United flight on its way from Los Angeles to Shanghai. 2717 02:29:43.360 --> 02:29:46.200 United Airlines takes off their into the flight when whoops 2718 02:29:46.360 --> 02:29:50.239 is just determined one of the pilots forgot the passport, 2719 02:29:50.680 --> 02:29:54.159 so they divert over to San Francisco Land. The passengers 2720 02:29:54.200 --> 02:29:56.239 d plane, they have to have another crew member who 2721 02:29:56.559 --> 02:29:59.600 is properly documented to get on the plane, and off 2722 02:29:59.680 --> 02:30:02.840 they go, and it's like a fourteen hour flight. So 2723 02:30:04.120 --> 02:30:07.000 again you would think that that would be something that 2724 02:30:07.079 --> 02:30:10.120 they would have. But Brian, the most I guess unusual 2725 02:30:10.200 --> 02:30:13.920 twist of the story is that it happened twice in 2726 02:30:14.000 --> 02:30:16.239 one week to United. Now, I don't think the other 2727 02:30:16.360 --> 02:30:19.520 one that they got airborne. I don't believe I could 2728 02:30:19.520 --> 02:30:21.920 be wrong there, but it happened twice in a week, 2729 02:30:22.079 --> 02:30:24.680 so you only had one occasion but a second. And 2730 02:30:24.799 --> 02:30:27.040 of course my initial thought is, and I've got friends 2731 02:30:27.079 --> 02:30:30.239 at United. I've been asking about this. Don't we check 2732 02:30:30.280 --> 02:30:33.120 the pilots like we checked the passengers. Don't we make 2733 02:30:33.239 --> 02:30:37.319 sure that they have proper documentation like passengers, because a 2734 02:30:37.360 --> 02:30:39.159 lot of times you just flash your airline ID and 2735 02:30:39.239 --> 02:30:42.000 boom on, you go as far as through the gate area. 2736 02:30:42.120 --> 02:30:44.879 But I don't know, so I don't know enough about 2737 02:30:45.040 --> 02:30:47.520 United's procedures. I know what we did at Northwest, but 2738 02:30:47.600 --> 02:30:49.680 that was a gazillion years ago. As far as what 2739 02:30:49.799 --> 02:30:52.159 the current United procedures are. But I can tell you 2740 02:30:52.239 --> 02:30:55.959 if the procedures are that they don't check passports, I 2741 02:30:56.040 --> 02:30:59.079 can guarantee you now that they probably are, especially on 2742 02:30:59.159 --> 02:31:01.840 those international flights, to make sure that the pilots have 2743 02:31:01.920 --> 02:31:02.680 everything that they need. 2744 02:31:03.239 --> 02:31:06.239 Well, I guess we've really irked the Canadians off. I 2745 02:31:06.399 --> 02:31:09.479 see that the number of flights between Canada and the 2746 02:31:09.559 --> 02:31:11.680 United States is down seventy percent. 2747 02:31:12.879 --> 02:31:15.040 It's it's you know, I knew it was down, but 2748 02:31:15.159 --> 02:31:17.920 when you look at the numbers, it's it's unreal. Last 2749 02:31:18.079 --> 02:31:21.319 March in twenty twenty four, when we're looking at April 2750 02:31:21.360 --> 02:31:24.239 bookings between Canada and the United States, there was one 2751 02:31:24.280 --> 02:31:27.120 point two million it's that had been booked for travel 2752 02:31:27.559 --> 02:31:31.440 for April. This year, We're looking next month and it's 2753 02:31:31.520 --> 02:31:34.479 not one point two million, it's two hundred ninety five thousand. 2754 02:31:34.840 --> 02:31:35.000 Hum. 2755 02:31:35.680 --> 02:31:37.799 Now, part of this is a reduction for the demand 2756 02:31:37.879 --> 02:31:40.200 and travel. The economy sloan just a bit, and some 2757 02:31:40.319 --> 02:31:43.040 of it as Canadian carriers have cut back in part 2758 02:31:43.120 --> 02:31:46.520 because they're irritated over politics. And now they're simply saying that, 2759 02:31:46.760 --> 02:31:49.639 you know, there's just not the demand there. But the 2760 02:31:49.799 --> 02:31:52.639 numbers are actually a seventy five point seven percent production 2761 02:31:52.799 --> 02:31:55.760 and tickets booked year every year, And that floored me. 2762 02:31:56.079 --> 02:31:58.239 I knew that it had been down a bit, but right, 2763 02:31:58.280 --> 02:32:01.239 I didn't think it was down that mouth. But that's 2764 02:32:01.280 --> 02:32:04.479 what the numbers show. So yeah, now people still are going, 2765 02:32:04.920 --> 02:32:08.639 you know, up to Toronto Boom or Montreal and using 2766 02:32:08.680 --> 02:32:10.760 that as an international hub and going to Europe in 2767 02:32:10.879 --> 02:32:13.079 other different places. But when you're talking about point to 2768 02:32:13.120 --> 02:32:15.719 point travel just between the United States and Canada, yeah, 2769 02:32:15.760 --> 02:32:16.600 it's down big time. 2770 02:32:17.120 --> 02:32:21.159 That's amazing to me. Anyhow, here's a really important topic. 2771 02:32:21.559 --> 02:32:24.040 And I talked about that Boeing seven thirty seven Max case. 2772 02:32:24.079 --> 02:32:27.280 They didn't bother telling pilots about the software changes that 2773 02:32:27.440 --> 02:32:30.719 ultimately led ultimately led to two plane crashing and multiple 2774 02:32:30.799 --> 02:32:33.920 loss of lives. They want to withdraw their guilty. 2775 02:32:33.559 --> 02:32:38.000 Plea, yes this year, you working on my blood pressure? 2776 02:32:38.000 --> 02:32:38.600 You get my friend. 2777 02:32:38.639 --> 02:32:43.799 You know they are because finally Boeing, after admitting that 2778 02:32:44.120 --> 02:32:46.879 day in essence, covered things up from the Department of Transportation, 2779 02:32:47.000 --> 02:32:50.159 from the FAA, from pilots, from airlines, and from the 2780 02:32:50.200 --> 02:32:52.760 public about all the deficiencies that were involved in that 2781 02:32:53.079 --> 02:32:56.520 Boeing Max airplane that crashed killing more than three hundred 2782 02:32:56.520 --> 02:32:59.600 and forty people. Boeing struck a plea deal last year 2783 02:32:59.680 --> 02:33:02.959 that included four hundred and fifty five million dollars in 2784 02:33:03.040 --> 02:33:06.440 their words, to improve safety and compliance over three years 2785 02:33:06.479 --> 02:33:09.799 of court supervised probation as well as supervision by some 2786 02:33:09.920 --> 02:33:14.040 independent monitor for three years. And it didn't really please 2787 02:33:14.200 --> 02:33:17.680 the victims of the seven thirty seven Max crashes that 2788 02:33:18.239 --> 02:33:22.200 are suing Boeing because this was in their eyes, and 2789 02:33:22.239 --> 02:33:25.479 I think it's an accurate assessment, Boeing was doing this 2790 02:33:25.639 --> 02:33:27.559 to keep it out of court. They didn't want to 2791 02:33:27.680 --> 02:33:30.239 have the court process, all the documents poured out, all 2792 02:33:30.280 --> 02:33:32.760 this stuff going to public to remind everybody of how 2793 02:33:32.840 --> 02:33:37.280 four years Boeing was hiding the deficiencies from everybody that 2794 02:33:37.399 --> 02:33:39.440 was buying their airplane as they were simply trying to 2795 02:33:39.920 --> 02:33:43.760 mass produce as quickly as possible these deficient aircraft that 2796 02:33:43.840 --> 02:33:46.040 they knew had problems that they planned on fixing them 2797 02:33:46.079 --> 02:33:49.319 sometime in the future. Well, now Boeing, under a very 2798 02:33:49.440 --> 02:33:54.799 friendly Trump administration, has decided, no, we don't want to 2799 02:33:54.840 --> 02:33:57.680 do that anymore now, Bryant, I don't know if I'm 2800 02:33:57.760 --> 02:34:00.319 reading the tea leaves here right, but it's as though 2801 02:34:00.360 --> 02:34:04.280 Boeing is perhaps looking for a sweeter deal under a 2802 02:34:04.479 --> 02:34:08.159 less restrictiveness administration. Now I don't know if that's accurate, 2803 02:34:08.200 --> 02:34:10.399 and please tell me if I'm all wrong here, But 2804 02:34:10.600 --> 02:34:13.000 you and I talked about how when the Trump administration 2805 02:34:13.920 --> 02:34:16.840 we knew it was coming, airline stocks went up, yet 2806 02:34:16.879 --> 02:34:20.920 airlines donating to the Trump Inaugural Fund, Boeing donating to 2807 02:34:20.959 --> 02:34:23.280 the Trump and Augural Fund, the idea being that, oh, 2808 02:34:23.399 --> 02:34:25.280 this is going to be like to buy administration. This 2809 02:34:25.440 --> 02:34:28.479 is going to be a business airline friendly administration and 2810 02:34:28.600 --> 02:34:30.760 not holding our feet to the fire like we had before, 2811 02:34:31.239 --> 02:34:34.959 which again I complimented to bide administration repeatedly on that. Yeah, 2812 02:34:35.000 --> 02:34:37.760 So am I wrong that Boeing is trying to walk 2813 02:34:37.799 --> 02:34:40.719 this back because they think it's it's a more friendly 2814 02:34:40.879 --> 02:34:41.840 environment for them. 2815 02:34:42.959 --> 02:34:44.719 I just think it puts some more on the spotlight 2816 02:34:44.799 --> 02:34:47.159 and minds the American public that look, this is what 2817 02:34:47.360 --> 02:34:50.079 they did and they didn't and most fundamentally bother telling 2818 02:34:50.159 --> 02:34:53.040 the pilots what was going to happen with this software upgrade. 2819 02:34:53.040 --> 02:34:56.760 I think it's an extraordinarily stupid move, but it'll play out. 2820 02:34:56.920 --> 02:34:59.000 We'll find out ourselves let's pause. We're bringing back and 2821 02:34:59.200 --> 02:35:00.639 one of the things we'll learn the next segment with 2822 02:35:00.719 --> 02:35:03.920 Jay Ratliffe don't make Bob jokes.

Chuck ingramon fifty 2841 02:35:53.760 --> 02:35:55.600 five KR seat the talk station. 2842 02:35:58.079 --> 02:35:59.760 Hey forty nine coming on with any fifty fifty five 2843 02:35:59.760 --> 02:36:02.639 care city talk station talking with I heard media aviation 2844 02:36:02.760 --> 02:36:06.920 expert Jay Rattler pull host topics this morning, and something 2845 02:36:06.959 --> 02:36:09.440 I think you alluded to last week the Southwest Airlines 2846 02:36:09.520 --> 02:36:12.440 suggesting they may need some smaller aircraft. I think you 2847 02:36:12.520 --> 02:36:16.520 were kind of excited about that, I am, because. 2848 02:36:16.280 --> 02:36:19.239 You know Southwest they fly to seven thirty seven. That's 2849 02:36:19.319 --> 02:36:21.680 the only thing they've found. They did play seven to 2850 02:36:21.719 --> 02:36:24.479 seventeens briefly when they gobbled up air Tram, but it's 2851 02:36:24.840 --> 02:36:26.760 they got rid of those. It's the seven thirty seven 2852 02:36:26.799 --> 02:36:30.680 fleet has been for fifty seven years. Southwest is saying 2853 02:36:30.760 --> 02:36:35.239 that there's certain markets that the demand for seven thirty 2854 02:36:35.239 --> 02:36:38.000 seven just isn't there. Some of these smaller regional airports, 2855 02:36:38.040 --> 02:36:40.200 it would be great if they had like a seventy 2856 02:36:40.239 --> 02:36:43.360 seat aircraft, something that accommodates something closer to one hundred seats, 2857 02:36:43.399 --> 02:36:46.319 which obviously is not the seven thirty seven. So when 2858 02:36:46.399 --> 02:36:48.639 the demand is that low, Southwest has to make one 2859 02:36:48.680 --> 02:36:52.040 of two options choices. Do we continue to operate with 2860 02:36:52.239 --> 02:36:54.120 more seats than the market needs at that time? Of 2861 02:36:54.200 --> 02:36:56.360 day or do we pull out of the city. Most 2862 02:36:56.399 --> 02:36:57.879 of the time, it's going to be the second option. 2863 02:36:57.920 --> 02:37:00.239 We're going to take that aircraft and crew to another 2864 02:37:00.319 --> 02:37:03.040 market where our yield or a profit for passenger is 2865 02:37:03.319 --> 02:37:06.120 where it needs to be. So now Southwest is saying, 2866 02:37:06.840 --> 02:37:08.760 maybe we need to look at a different sized aircraft. 2867 02:37:09.040 --> 02:37:11.920 Now that would mean a non Boeing seven thirty seven. 2868 02:37:12.399 --> 02:37:14.920 It might mean a Bombardier aircraft or Embry air it 2869 02:37:14.959 --> 02:37:18.319 could be an airbus. Now a lot of times you 2870 02:37:18.479 --> 02:37:21.079 would look at this saying that's just you know, Southwest 2871 02:37:21.319 --> 02:37:24.479 being clever and trying to you know, negotiate with Boweling 2872 02:37:24.520 --> 02:37:26.479 put a little pressure on them. I don't think so. 2873 02:37:26.760 --> 02:37:29.079 This is not the Southwest of old. This is now 2874 02:37:29.120 --> 02:37:31.479 the Southwest that's going to be charging for check bags 2875 02:37:31.520 --> 02:37:34.959 in May. The Southwest has gone to assigned seats. The 2876 02:37:35.079 --> 02:37:38.280 Southwest is going to offer premium seats. This is the Southwest. 2877 02:37:38.360 --> 02:37:40.719 They've been laying off employees for the first time in 2878 02:37:40.760 --> 02:37:43.840 their history. I think they're serious and they could actually 2879 02:37:43.920 --> 02:37:47.200 look at using smaller airplanes, and I really think they should. 2880 02:37:47.600 --> 02:37:50.000 There's certainly an operational advantage when you only have one 2881 02:37:50.040 --> 02:37:52.680 type of aircraft. When you're talking about ground equipment, training 2882 02:37:52.719 --> 02:37:54.559 and all the things that go along with having a 2883 02:37:54.719 --> 02:37:58.159 very consistent fleet. But when you're talking about making as 2884 02:37:58.280 --> 02:38:01.440 much money as you can, it's like when we trade stocks, Bryan. 2885 02:38:01.479 --> 02:38:03.319 There's certain stocks you can make a lot of money 2886 02:38:03.319 --> 02:38:06.000 on and some you make less, and you adjust based 2887 02:38:06.079 --> 02:38:09.799 on that particular opportunity. Right with airlines, it's the same 2888 02:38:09.920 --> 02:38:12.079 thought process. There's certain cities you make a lot of 2889 02:38:12.120 --> 02:38:14.559 money if you go in, but you can't do it 2890 02:38:14.639 --> 02:38:17.360 with larger aircraft than what the demand is for there, 2891 02:38:17.760 --> 02:38:21.120 So for smaller airports. I hope Southwest goes this route 2892 02:38:21.360 --> 02:38:24.559 because I think that it would allow regional airports to 2893 02:38:24.799 --> 02:38:28.280 enjoy the Southwest service in the lower fares instead of 2894 02:38:28.360 --> 02:38:29.959 perhaps losing that service altogether. 2895 02:38:30.280 --> 02:38:33.879 Makes sense to me, I understand, and I've understood for 2896 02:38:33.920 --> 02:38:36.239 a long time. You don't make bomb jokes at the airports. 2897 02:38:36.840 --> 02:38:38.440 You got a woman who found that out. 2898 02:38:39.280 --> 02:38:42.000 Yeah, she's only fifty five. I mean, obviously she doesn't 2899 02:38:42.040 --> 02:38:44.440 know better. But she's at the airport. She's got three 2900 02:38:44.520 --> 02:38:47.360 bags and she's consolidating them to two. She's tried to 2901 02:38:47.399 --> 02:38:49.559 save money. She's talking to the gate agent, and I 2902 02:38:49.600 --> 02:38:51.079 guess in the course of the back and forth, she 2903 02:38:51.159 --> 02:38:52.799 made a comment about, well, you know, it's gonna be 2904 02:38:52.879 --> 02:38:54.840 challenging because of this bomb I've got in my bag. 2905 02:38:55.479 --> 02:38:59.000 And of course the minute you say those words, everything stops. 2906 02:38:59.440 --> 02:39:02.639 The police are you're taking away, they question you. Anybody 2907 02:39:02.680 --> 02:39:05.159 that's with you goes with you, and you're gonna miss 2908 02:39:05.200 --> 02:39:09.280 your flight, maybe not fly at all. So she kept saying, oh, no, no, no, 2909 02:39:09.479 --> 02:39:11.200 it's a joke. But Brian, I cannot tell you the 2910 02:39:11.280 --> 02:39:14.079 number of times that we've had people that, you know, 2911 02:39:14.159 --> 02:39:16.719 maybe they're nervous. People sometimes say stupid things when they 2912 02:39:16.840 --> 02:39:19.319 are nervous, and they try to joke their way out 2913 02:39:19.360 --> 02:39:19.479 of it. 2914 02:39:19.600 --> 02:39:21.360 And there's been so many times. 2915 02:39:21.079 --> 02:39:23.959 That that's happened. I used to tell our boys when 2916 02:39:23.959 --> 02:39:26.120 they were growing up, I will kill you. I will 2917 02:39:26.280 --> 02:39:29.799 literally kill them if you use the word bomb. And 2918 02:39:30.319 --> 02:39:32.120 you know, because kids, how the kids are. Oh, Jay, 2919 02:39:32.319 --> 02:39:34.000 I didn't you don't want me to say this word. 2920 02:39:34.559 --> 02:39:37.200 I told him, No, we're not gonna be tomorrow's story, 2921 02:39:37.319 --> 02:39:40.520 so I just don't do it. In fact, Sherry was 2922 02:39:40.559 --> 02:39:43.280 traveling one time with bath bombs and the TSA asked 2923 02:39:43.280 --> 02:39:45.200 her what they were. She says, I can't tell you 2924 02:39:45.799 --> 02:39:47.520 and the agent says, well, you're gonna have to tay. 2925 02:39:47.520 --> 02:39:49.319 She goes, I can't because my husband said, never use 2926 02:39:49.360 --> 02:39:51.040 that word at dinner. So she finally told him it 2927 02:39:51.120 --> 02:39:53.000 was bath bombs, a little bath busies that you put 2928 02:39:53.079 --> 02:39:55.120 in the bath, you know, when you take a bath. 2929 02:39:55.479 --> 02:39:57.319 But yeah, you just don't use that term. 2930 02:39:57.479 --> 02:40:00.280 This lady did. And it's just a reminder of how 2931 02:40:00.559 --> 02:40:02.799 you try to make a joke, and it's not only 2932 02:40:02.840 --> 02:40:05.559 going to inconvenience you, but probably every single person in 2933 02:40:05.639 --> 02:40:08.600 your party. So even though I don't want to see 2934 02:40:08.760 --> 02:40:11.719 Joe's you know clip there, Yeah, I keep. 2935 02:40:11.600 --> 02:40:14.680 Your mouth shut, keep your stupid mouth shut. And at 2936 02:40:14.760 --> 02:40:17.040 fifty five, yes, you should know better. And I know 2937 02:40:17.120 --> 02:40:18.879 you said that, you said that with your togue in 2938 02:40:18.920 --> 02:40:24.159 your cheek. Anyhow well, I guess, Yeah, we get in 2939 02:40:24.200 --> 02:40:26.040 the remaining time. We'll just go ahead and let you 2940 02:40:26.079 --> 02:40:27.799 do because I know we got another subject here, but 2941 02:40:28.600 --> 02:40:31.600 we'll let you do the hub delays because we always 2942 02:40:31.639 --> 02:40:33.520 done on that top Shop Dick com'romos out of time. 2943 02:40:34.120 --> 02:40:38.239 Yeah, Chicago and Houston, especially Houston.

Early today, they may decide to do 2946 02:40:43.920 --> 02:40:46.559 what's called an online reroute, getting you to your destination 2947 02:40:47.200 --> 02:40:50.639 through another hub, because Houston's just gonna get hammered through 2948 02:40:50.680 --> 02:40:52.840 the rest of the Chicago's going to get a look, 2949 02:40:53.000 --> 02:40:55.120 kind of a glancing blow later in the morning, but 2950 02:40:55.239 --> 02:40:57.239 Houston clearly the problem. 2951 02:40:57.000 --> 02:40:57.639 Child of the day. 2952 02:40:58.079 --> 02:41:01.360 Appreciate what you do.
