Speaker 1: Five o five.
Speaker 2: At fifty five k r C DE talk station. I'd
Speaker 2: be fraid to eat the dude does, and uh quite
Speaker 2: often I do not. You not to bide a lot
Speaker 2: of things anyway. Brian Thomas right here. Glad to be
Speaker 2: and glad to see Joe's Trekker in the Executive Producers
Speaker 2: studio where he belongs. And what a wonderful rundown today.
Speaker 2: Thank you Joe Strekker for lining up the guests. I
Speaker 2: truly appreciate what you do. I hope listeners do as well.
Speaker 2: The return to court bom and running from their of
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati and uphill challenge we all know
Speaker 2: for a Republican candidate, but I think he's got some
Speaker 2: good ideas and a welcome refreshing change given what we
Speaker 2: learned about from Todd Zenzer, just scraping the surface of
Speaker 2: the problems of the city of Cincinnati faces. You can
Speaker 2: check out that podcast from earlier in the week fifty
Speaker 2: five car Se dot Com. Corey Bumman will get his
Speaker 2: thoughts on Hyde Park and the three hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 2: for skate park. Yeah, one of the things Todd talked
Speaker 2: about photo op is I think Todd described he's so
Speaker 2: mellow and mild mannered, not pointed in his criticism, but
Speaker 2: nonetheless offering his criticisms while being very subtle about it. Anyhow,
Speaker 2: skate park, it's like a million dollar thing, but they
Speaker 2: needed some additional money, so of course finding finding Hey
Speaker 2: look an additional one point three million dollars laying around
Speaker 2: City of Cincinnati sides are going to allocate three hundred
Speaker 2: thousand for a skate park. Anyway, we'll see what Corey
Speaker 2: thinks about that. Will there be a debate f TEB
Speaker 2: pervol versus Corey Bowman? That would be interesting, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be enlightening and helpful for the City of
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's voters, plus as a fundraiser company April eighth, and
Speaker 2: Corey will let us know the details about that. You
Speaker 2: can find him online if you to learn more about
Speaker 2: Corey's candidacy, what he stands for, his seven policy pillars,
Speaker 2: It's Coreybowman dot Com. After Corey, we'll hear from Donovan
Speaker 2: and Neil from Americans prosperity A pole was taken after
Speaker 2: Mike Dewaines's State of the State, which took place the
Speaker 2: other day, got some details on that and Donovan on
Speaker 2: that and the poll what do people think about it?
Speaker 2: State Senator Bill Blessing on property taxes, as well as
Speaker 2: his proposal, which I again find interesting and somewhat out
Speaker 2: of left field, for a Republican to provide free breakfast
Speaker 2: and lunch at the schools for children, every child. That'd
Speaker 2: so if you've got a really wealthy family and maybe
Speaker 2: mom's packing a really nice lunch, or the nanny or
Speaker 2: one of the staff is prevaring a real nice lunch
Speaker 2: for them to take the school, or they can actually
Speaker 2: afford to buy the lunch at school. Nonetheless, it'll be free.
Speaker 2: I think they price tagged three hundred million dollars. We'll
Speaker 2: let Bill explain that after he explains the empower you
Speaker 2: some of our details, or at least scratching the surface.
Speaker 2: What's going to go on tonight? At the power you
Speaker 2: sing are on property taxes. iHeart met the aviation expert,
Speaker 2: Jay Ratlift at eight thirty thankfully every Thursday. Looking forward
Speaker 2: to talking to Jay. Always like winding down a Thursday
Speaker 2: as we segue into Friday with lighter topics and the
Speaker 2: air of aviation. Today, a passenger was shamed now suing
Speaker 2: the airline and suing fellow passengers. The stems from a
Speaker 2: December incident we previously talked about with Jay Air India
Speaker 2: recomminds passengers don't flush close down the toilet. We end
Speaker 2: the stack is stupid. The other day, I'm glad Jay's
Speaker 2: going to be addressing that Southwest Airlines bags are no
Speaker 2: longer flying for free and airlines looking to reduce summer capacity,
Speaker 2: which she describes as a bad thing for travelers. Anyway,
Speaker 2: those are the topics with Jay. There's a topic you'd
Speaker 2: like to talk about, feel free to give me a
Speaker 2: call five one, three, seven eight, two to three talk
Speaker 2: pound five fifty on AT and T phones and be
Speaker 2: sure and check out the podcast page fifty five. Caref
Speaker 2: you're scratching your head over what Congressman mass he voted.
Speaker 2: Knowing the cr he outlined and explained it very well yesterday,
Speaker 2: pointing out that it just keeps the Biden level of
Speaker 2: spending at the same level, which in Washington is described
Speaker 2: as a cut. And this Chuckie Schumer's coming out saying
Speaker 2: they don't have the votes to pass this in the Senate,
Speaker 2: so we're looking for a government shutdown tomorrow now. Thomas
Speaker 2: Massey suggested this was all a setup and then it
Speaker 2: would pass through the Senate. Keep your popcorn out. Schumer's
Speaker 2: pushing for a thirty day extension, which will give them
Speaker 2: more time to work out a bipartisan arrangement. Yeah right,
Speaker 2: I got a bridge I want to sell you. So
Speaker 2: if there's a shutdown, the Democrats will own this one. Clearly,
Speaker 2: they will own this one anyway. Some interesting points made
Speaker 2: along the lines of what Congressman Massy was talking about
Speaker 2: regarding what is a cut and what isn't. And of
Speaker 2: course the continuing resolution keeping finding at basically the same
Speaker 2: level unto the biding administration, is not a cut, but
Speaker 2: the Democrats in Washington perceive it to be. There's an
Speaker 2: interesting editorial commentary by Linda Mashbarne Newman where does this
Speaker 2: show up? Epoch Times, talking about what Doge is doing
Speaker 2: and looking at it from a business perspective, what Elon
Speaker 2: Musk is doing radically different from any other effort to
Speaker 2: bring efficiency to government. It's not all radical by business standards. Remember,
Speaker 2: government doesn't make anything, it doesn't produce anything. It just
Speaker 2: consumes our tax dollars and spends them any damn playway
Speaker 2: they please which doesn't suggest it operate like a business
Speaker 2: looking for efficiency. When new management comes into a company,
Speaker 2: good management will scrutinize every aspect of the business to
Speaker 2: figure out what everything is and how it impacts the
Speaker 2: bottom line. They'll start with a zero based budget, zeroing
Speaker 2: out each budget item and requiring each program, product, line,
Speaker 2: and widget to justify why it deserves its line item
Speaker 2: back in the budget. Government does the furthest thing from
Speaker 2: zero based budgeting. The various budgets of the federal government
Speaker 2: know how to do only one thing, and that's grow.
Speaker 2: For example, mandatory, which makes up more than sixty percent
Speaker 2: of federal budget and includes programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and
Speaker 2: Social Security, is authorized by law to provide benefits to
Speaker 2: any person meeting the eligibility requirements with a growing population.
Speaker 2: These statutes effectively set the budget into auto grow. For
Speaker 2: discretionary spending, which makes up a quarter of federal spending,
Speaker 2: the House and Senate pass appropriations bills. These bills generally
Speaker 2: use as their budget based lines the existing funding amount
Speaker 2: plus infilation, and almost always add more based on the
Speaker 2: various special interests of the senators, representatives and their constituents.
Speaker 2: The rest of the federal budget is interest on the debt,
Speaker 2: which anyone with a credit card debt can tell you compounds.
Speaker 2: All these are a far cry from zero based budgeting,
Speaker 2: and in fact, anything that isn't an increase is viewed
Speaker 2: as a cut. Going back to Massey's point, yeah, you
Speaker 2: heard that correctly. If government budget stays the same year
Speaker 2: over year, according to Washington math, that's a cut. Ostensibly,
Speaker 2: this is to make up for the inflation that cuts
Speaker 2: the budget in real terms, and politicians of all stripes
Speaker 2: underscore all stripes will take to the floor of the
Speaker 2: House and send it to lamb best anyone who tries
Speaker 2: to slow that spending growth. Departments and agencies also face
Speaker 2: incentives to spend any unused funds before the end of
Speaker 2: the fiscal year, not because the money is use it
Speaker 2: or lose it, but because it ensures their budgets plus
Speaker 2: inflation will become the new baseline next year. Heaven forbid
Speaker 2: you not spend money you didn't need. Go ahead and
Speaker 2: hurry up and use it up. What the Washington class
Speaker 2: is really bristling about is doge bringing to government what
Speaker 2: any ordinary business would consider best practices. It's importantly clear
Speaker 2: so far itself, a doge itself is not actually done
Speaker 2: any cutting. What it has done has brought much needed
Speaker 2: sunlight what the average American might reasonably view as shady, frivolous,
Speaker 2: or absurd at government spending with their money. Admittedly, it's
Speaker 2: a short distance from there to waste, fraud, and abuse.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and lambask for saying doch hasn't cut anything,
Speaker 2: But what about all the grants that were stopped? Some
Speaker 2: point to that. What do you mean they haven't cut anything?
Speaker 2: You're reminded is simply that pausing government spending is not
Speaker 2: the same thing as cutting it. Also, those pauses have
Speaker 2: been made by the executive branch, to which Congress has,
Speaker 2: in its infinite wisdom or dereliction of constitutional duty, chosen
Speaker 2: to largely delegate allocation decisions. By all means, yes, Congress
Speaker 2: needs to do the tough work to trim its appropriations
Speaker 2: and fix entitlements. Sadly, it has no incentive to stop
Speaker 2: spending money it does not have. Instead, it leads it
Speaker 2: to the executive branch via the Treasury and also the
Speaker 2: Federal Reserve figure it out. So why not let the
Speaker 2: guy who built the reusable rocket give it a try?
Speaker 2: With thirty six trillion dollars in federal debt and interest
Speaker 2: payments expected to cost nearly one trillion dollars this year,
Speaker 2: more than the government spends on national defense, which we
Speaker 2: spend more than any other nation, I think, probably more
Speaker 2: than all the nations combined on defense. And you know
Speaker 2: there's a hell of a lot of fraud, waste, and
Speaker 2: abuse in the defense budget. Anyway. She concludes, a high
Speaker 2: time Uncle Sam stopped treating itself as Uncle money bags
Speaker 2: and just maybe that tech sevy nephew Jo Doge can
Speaker 2: help them do that. Amen, Amen, I just my mind
Speaker 2: is blown. I mean, we elect these folks to take
Speaker 2: care of the nation. We elect these folks to deal
Speaker 2: with the right thing for the American people, and look
Speaker 2: what they are doing, Republicans and Democrats alike, with the
Speaker 2: exception of massing a handful of others, no effort is
Speaker 2: ever made, not my pecked project, not my state, most
Speaker 2: notably along the lines of the military industrial complex. A
Speaker 2: lot of those weapons manufacturers and are in Republican states,
Speaker 2: and they won't cut a program that is unnecessary. I
Speaker 2: still believe we don't need the F thirty five fighter
Speaker 2: jet with drones dominating the airspace, and really the new
Speaker 2: theater of war is drone related. You don't have to
Speaker 2: have a pilot in there, and all the millions and
Speaker 2: millions of dollars that go into those aircraft just merely
Speaker 2: to protect the guy flying it. Drones go in, go out.
Speaker 2: They are basically disposable items. You blow one up, you know,
Speaker 2: we can rebuild another one. How many drones can you
Speaker 2: build for the cost of an F thirty five fighter?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: Those things are billions of dollars. Time for us to
Speaker 2: rethink a lot of allocations in the American military. And
Speaker 2: I don't mean to pick on the American military, you
Speaker 2: know how much I love our veteran friends out there,
Speaker 2: and God bless the people who are willing to enlist
Speaker 2: and do the hardest work out there. Yes, get them
Speaker 2: the equipment they actually need, the appropriate mechanisms to fight
Speaker 2: wars and defend the United States. But let's cut some
Speaker 2: of the crap out of the defense budget. Let's get
Speaker 2: to pare it back from eight hundred almost nine hundred
Speaker 2: billion dollars. One area of government in need of analysis
Speaker 2: and some sunlight, as does goes through the various other
Speaker 2: areas of government, Look what you're looking at USA. Look
Speaker 2: at how many programs that it's brought to the attention
Speaker 2: of the American people that who are all out there collectively,
Speaker 2: regardless of political stripe, going are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I worked for that.
Speaker 2: And recognizing that a lot of that money maybe didn't
Speaker 2: accomplish anything at all and probably looped back or never
Speaker 2: left Washington, DC and serves the interest of those political
Speaker 2: people who are supposed to be helping us out and
Speaker 2: saving us from ours well not saving us from ourselves.
Speaker 2: There the one that put us in this position, spending
Speaker 2: way beyond what they take in every year and taking
Speaker 2: us further and further into debt. The death the debt
Speaker 2: death spiral three seven fifty eight hundred eighty two to
Speaker 2: three talko ton five to fifty on AT and T phones.
Speaker 2: Got plenty to talk about this morning, but I'd love
Speaker 2: to hear from You've got some ideas. I'll be right
Speaker 2: back after these brief words.

Speaker 2: one to two inches of rain, gusty wins seventy three
Speaker 2: for the highest Saturday fifty degrees right now. If you

Speaker 2: kr CD talk station. Happy Friday Eve. You can call
Speaker 2: in five one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred
Speaker 2: hundred eight two three talk here in Ohiodwine State of
Speaker 2: the State address which will be talking about with Donovan O'Neill,
Speaker 2: and the poll that was taken after the State of
Speaker 2: the State address, Mike the Wine reporting that the state
Speaker 2: of our state is strong here in Ohio. He highlighted
Speaker 2: some manufacturing jobs. He pointed out that Ohio had more
Speaker 2: than eighty one thousand private sector jobs. He cited two
Speaker 2: particular projects, a soybean processing plan, Wine Dot County and
Speaker 2: bourbon barrel manufacturing in Jackson and Pike Counties. Jim Tressel
Speaker 2: has been assigned with ten Governor. Jim Trussels been a
Speaker 2: signed with the developing a workforce playbook to help grow
Speaker 2: jobs here in Ohio, identifying workforce needs in various regions
Speaker 2: around Ohio and work with schools and businesses to meet
Speaker 2: the needs here in Ohio. Workforce remains both our greatest
Speaker 2: opportunity in our most significant challenge. Dwine said, I like this.
Speaker 2: There's a new law and he said it's time to
Speaker 2: finish the job in ban cell phones in all Ohio
Speaker 2: schools so kids can learn. Apparently, school districts have until
Speaker 2: July to have a cell phone policy in place under
Speaker 2: a new state law. Let us see here. Two year
Speaker 2: budget plan, Dwine call for new child tax credit for
Speaker 2: parents with a full time minimum weight job, a program
Speaker 2: for K through three students who need eyeglasses, and expand
Speaker 2: school based health centers. A stress the need to provide
Speaker 2: career counseling and opportunities for people with disabilities, formerly incarcerated adults, teenagers, seniors,
Speaker 2: and people recovering from addiction to mental health issues. So
Speaker 2: among his in his address Dwine said. Dwine announced investment
Speaker 2: into Certified Peers Supporters, a job opportunity for people who
Speaker 2: have overcome addiction or mental health challenges, a chance to
Speaker 2: help other people struggling with those issues. Dwainestead over sixty
Speaker 2: four hundred people have completed the program since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: I guess he wants to expand it. He directed the
Speaker 2: Department of Education and Workforce developed reading and writing curriculum
Speaker 2: incorporating more social studies and civics content. Lighted efforts with
Speaker 2: the Ohio History Connection to increase the focus on Ohio
Speaker 2: history in schools beginning with kindergarten. Called upon the Department
Speaker 2: of Education Workforce to develop recommendations for teaching basic life
Speaker 2: skills like cooking and budgeting into schools. That would be
Speaker 2: great that bring back home economics, maybe bring back shop class,
Speaker 2: but budgeting, how to maintain a family budget. Simple things
Speaker 2: like that, rather than indoctrinating our children into woke ideology,
Speaker 2: and let's allocate a little bit of time to some
Speaker 2: basic life skills. I like that, and announced a plan
Speaker 2: to celebrate schools that are fully aligned with the science
Speaker 2: of reading, a phonics based method for literacy, bringing back
Speaker 2: classical education is the right way to go. This new
Speaker 2: wave of learning is obviously ill served our children given
Speaker 2: the test scores. I mean we're graduating students from high
Speaker 2: school that can't even read. How do you expect to
Speaker 2: go to college if you can't read? Or how do
Speaker 2: you expect to get through life if you can't read.
Speaker 2: Let's bring back phonics that worked for so many generations
Speaker 2: of people.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: He in sized the need for several programs, creating child
Speaker 2: wellness campuses to make sure children can remain in their
Speaker 2: communities with support when they can't stay with their families.
Speaker 2: Funding Ohio C see Ohio c a program to help
Speaker 2: students who need eyeglasses in kindergarten through third grade. Putting
Speaker 2: driver's education back into Ohio schools. I remember that that's
Speaker 2: not a thing anymore. Joe, do they have Did they
Speaker 2: have drivers ed when you went to high school?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I don't know when they got rid of that. I
Speaker 2: mean you had Ohio, you had, you had school Driver's
Speaker 2: ed or you could go to like BIX Driving School.
Speaker 2: I suppose if your parents had the means to afford
Speaker 2: Bixed Driving School and institute a new program for Ninoha
Speaker 2: counties providing dental screenings and treatments in schools for low
Speaker 2: income families that might not otherwise have access. So there's
Speaker 2: your rundown from the state of the state. I do
Speaker 2: like the jobs, the adding of eighty one thousand private
Speaker 2: sector jobs. I suppose that's probably the highlight of the
Speaker 2: whole thing. Probably could use a whole lot more here
Speaker 2: in the state of Ohio. Feel free to call in.

Speaker 2: having you on.
Speaker 7: Oh, good morning, Brian. I know it's early, but I
Speaker 7: figured i'd give you a call. You kind of hit
Speaker 7: a good nerve.
Speaker 8: I wish I would have had the opportunity.
Speaker 7: And I know since you went to the Highlanders school,
Speaker 7: oh Kills. Yeah, there was a choice. You could have
Speaker 7: went to Diamond Oaks and you know, been a welder
Speaker 7: or whatever. True, but I didn't have that choice. You know,
Speaker 7: I went to a all boys Camtholic school at Roger Bacon,
Speaker 7: and you know, we came out and of course I
Speaker 7: went into the police academy.
Speaker 8: So that was my choice.
Speaker 7: But if I would have had that choice to maybe
Speaker 7: go to something like Diamond Oaks, I might have become
Speaker 7: a owner of the dry.
Speaker 2: Cleaners like Andrew Pappits exactly. Or you could you could
Speaker 2: have made a six plus, six figure plus income if
Speaker 2: you had chosen welding as a profession. I understand that
Speaker 2: some of those welders do really, really well.
Speaker 7: Especially female. I mean they understand. I understand that if
Speaker 7: you're a female want to travel, that you could be
Speaker 7: looking at one hundred and fifty and up. Yeah, that's
Speaker 7: that's unbelievable. And then it's then you get into the
Speaker 7: underwater ones where you're talking a quarter million and of that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Stuff, that's but that work takes some huevos, if you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 9: Oh god, I watched films on that.
Speaker 2: It's incredible, it really really is.
Speaker 7: But you know, I would like to have the opportunity
Speaker 7: that the kids have nowadays instead of just you know,
Speaker 7: either dropping out of school or taking your your oak kills.
Speaker 2: What the hell is that? What that means? Joe, the
Speaker 2: phone died, Jim, your phone went completely haywire. It's time. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I got to end the call because we
Speaker 2: can't deal with that's screeching. You can try back, okay.
Speaker 2: Then Joe Jim didn't get a chance to get to
Speaker 2: his point. That's okay. Feel free to call if you've
Speaker 2: got something to comment on anyway. Since I police investigating
Speaker 2: after a body was found in a dumpster outside of
Speaker 2: fast food restaurant to say this was in Camp Washington
Speaker 2: early yesterday, officers showed up with a Wendy's on Hoffel
Speaker 2: Street shortly I had before two thirty in the morning
Speaker 2: and discover the man's body. Death appears to be accidental
Speaker 2: with foul play not suspected, but it does remain under
Speaker 2: investigation with the Hamlin Kenny Coroner's Office court in Police.
Speaker 2: Thank you to the Inquirer for reporting. Uh school board
Speaker 2: member from Forest Hill School District stepped down from a
Speaker 2: position since I inquired reporting. Props School District on Sinceny's
Speaker 2: Eastide announced a news release yesterday board vice president Katie
Speaker 2: Stewart's been a resignation, citing that she'll be moving to
Speaker 2: a home outside of the district and this is in
Speaker 2: accordance with Ohio law, which states that a school board
Speaker 2: member must be a resident of the district and registered voter.
Speaker 2: In the district. Bob Bibb, a Board education president, had
Speaker 2: this to say, I want to thank missus Stewart for
Speaker 2: more than three years of service to our school district
Speaker 2: and her role as a member of the Board of
Speaker 2: Education for dedication and commitment to this community. Stuart and
Speaker 2: Anderson Township native elected to the school board in twenty
Speaker 2: one after having lived in Forest Hill School District for
Speaker 2: ten years. At that time, she was a GOP endorse
Speaker 2: candidate who ran in an opposition of critical race theory
Speaker 2: being taught in the schools. During the pandemic, she decided
Speaker 2: to homeschool her children. Became critical of Forest Hills School
Speaker 2: District after she said her children had quote a lot
Speaker 2: of gaps in their education close quote, motivating her to
Speaker 2: run for school board. Her children did end up going
Speaker 2: back to school, but to Guardian Angels School instead, not
Speaker 2: Forest Hills. That's according to previous coverage from the Enquiry,
Speaker 2: apparely second time in a three week span that the
Speaker 2: school board has lost a member. In February, the board
Speaker 2: voted three to two to part ways with Treasurer Alana
Speaker 2: Cooper for an undisclosed reason. Let us see Dan Monk
Speaker 2: paula Christian prop supporting building a CPO. New public advocacy
Speaker 2: group plans to use March Madness as a launch pad
Speaker 2: for its campaign to convince Hamilton County commissioners to spend
Speaker 2: sales tax dollars on a new arena, even if it
Speaker 2: comes at the expense of old stadiums. Hamilton County Growth
Speaker 2: Alliances naming the organization plans to use radio, digital and
Speaker 2: direct direct mail ads to build public support for an
Speaker 2: arena capable of hosting major concerts and sporting events like
Speaker 2: the NC two A Final four. According to Jay Kinkaid,
Speaker 2: the alliance is founder and executive director, It's very clear
Speaker 2: that the lack of a modern arena is a huge
Speaker 2: drag on our counties ability to maxmeser economic growth. We're
Speaker 2: losing out on attracting sporting events like March Madness, which
Speaker 2: we haven't hosted here in Cincinnati in thirty three years.
Speaker 2: I've seen Bruce Springsteen more in Pittsburgh than I've seen
Speaker 2: him here at home. Kincaid, a veteran CINCINNTI political consultant
Speaker 2: and a principal at Single Strength LLC, started working on
Speaker 2: the campaign last September, when Hamilton County unveiled a one
Speaker 2: point two billion dollar renovation concept for pay Course Stadium
Speaker 2: that included a new headquarters building for Cincinnati Bengals and
Speaker 2: luxury seating options for fans that could afford it. Released
Speaker 2: the public records in January of the county and the
Speaker 2: team were exploring a roughly six hundred million dollar renovation
Speaker 2: with one hundred and twenty million contributions from the team
Speaker 2: in the NFL. That's when talks broke down. Both of
Speaker 2: those ideas will leave less public funding available for an
Speaker 2: arena that would cost up to eight hundred million dollars
Speaker 2: that according to established study published in November by the Cincinnai,
Speaker 2: USA Regional Chamber of Commerce. Bengals. When reached out for
Speaker 2: comment to Climb comment for the story, Kincaid said, I
Speaker 2: guess I understand the county has a number of needs,
Speaker 2: and I also understand that there are limited funds to
Speaker 2: address those needs. But because there are those limited funds,
Speaker 2: it makes even more imperative that we get this right.
Speaker 2: We can't afford to make the same mistakes that the
Speaker 2: commissioners made thirty years ago when they entered into what
Speaker 2: is widely considered to be and is I might interject
Speaker 2: the worst stadium deal in the history of our country.
Speaker 2: He declined to reveal who is funding the arena campaign.
Speaker 2: Because the Alliance is a nonprofit five on one see
Speaker 2: four corporation, it isn't required to make that information available
Speaker 2: to the public. He shared the results of polling funding
Speaker 2: funded by those donors with the Cincinni Mayor AFTAB pro
Speaker 2: of All Hamilton County Commissioners. Public Opinion Strategy surveyed four
Speaker 2: hundred Hamilton County residents in November and December for a
Speaker 2: poll margin of era four to five percent. Kincaid said
Speaker 2: it convened two focus groups of twenty people said it's
Speaker 2: pretty clear the public understands we have as a community
Speaker 2: multiple needs and limited resources. They want the commissioners and
Speaker 2: another elected official to make good decisions and maximize the impact.
Speaker 2: Sixty three percent ranked a new arena as their top priority,
Speaker 2: compared to thirteen percent for pay Course Stadium and nine
Speaker 2: percent for Great American Ballpark. Eighty eight percent said it
Speaker 2: was important to keep Cincinnati Bengals from leaving town. Thirty
Speaker 2: six percent said taxpayer should not have to pay more
Speaker 2: than one fourth of the net pay Course Stadium deal.
Speaker 2: Ninety percent said they should be allowed to vote before
Speaker 2: the county allocates new money for stadium. Oh I like that.
Speaker 2: Seventy eight percent they would support the creation of a
Speaker 2: public exposition in sports authority to manage arena and stadium investments.

Speaker 2: Happy Thursday slash Friday Eve before I get this stack
Speaker 2: of stupid Nick's on the line calling in, you can
Speaker 2: feel free to call us. Well, Nick, thanks for calling
Speaker 2: in the morning show.
Speaker 8: Hey, I went to a better middle school.
Speaker 2: It did.
Speaker 8: Chuck Burkholtz was my Ohio history teacher.
Speaker 2: O O kidding. He was my He is, like, absolutely
Speaker 2: my favorite teacher. He taught government class and at Okills,
Speaker 2: and we had awesome discussions.
Speaker 8: It wasn't econ?
Speaker 2: Was it econ?
Speaker 8: Yes? It was econ?
Speaker 2: Huh, I don't remember it being called that, Nick. Honestly,
Speaker 2: we're going back to nineteen eighty three, though, so that's
Speaker 2: a lot of years and a lot I've lost a
Speaker 2: lot of brain cells since then. Well, I call it
Speaker 2: a lot of beer though.
Speaker 8: But the point that I'm getting at is that stuff
Speaker 8: that the wine was talking about. How my wife turned
Speaker 8: around and helped me with my vest in home econ
Speaker 8: class because we shared the way of homeie, the way
Speaker 8: that the classes worked back then. And I don't know
Speaker 8: how it worked at your bad school for middle school. Uh,
Speaker 8: but we had five weeks at home neck, five weeks
Speaker 8: of shop.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's what I did.
Speaker 8: Okay, Well, I turned around and didn't get to help
Speaker 8: her with her woodwork project and her it's like crap
Speaker 8: compared to mount. But I did beggar, and she did
Speaker 8: help me with my vest that we had to sew
Speaker 8: because she was really good at sewing.
Speaker 2: I made a dog I med a h a big
Speaker 2: dog bed. It was basically a giant ball that was
Speaker 2: filled with you know, filling, and you know it's like
Speaker 2: you settled down it like a bean bag for a dog.
Speaker 2: So I remember that guy. You bring it back some memories, Nick.
Speaker 8: We did. We did lamps. And the reason that Keither
Speaker 8: wanted to turn around and be maybe a dry cleaner
Speaker 8: is because he likes chemicals that make you enjoy fun.
Speaker 8: So like when we did the Schillac room, you had
Speaker 8: the exhaust fans with the burnouts. Really like turning off
Speaker 8: the exhaust fans while they were doing their slaking projects.
Speaker 8: It would work.
Speaker 2: Keifer hung out of there.
Speaker 8: Okay, I guarantee mister Keeper would have enjoyed working in
Speaker 8: that labe. On top of that, though, what you're missing
Speaker 8: on one thing on the Fighter jets, if you look
Speaker 8: at the original Top Gun movie and then you look
Speaker 8: at the second Top Gun movie that they change names,
Speaker 8: the drones would have been far smarter on the second one.
Speaker 8: The second one was a joke. It was just how
Speaker 8: to milk a dying cow out on the first one.
Speaker 8: You really do need at times a pilot, but you
Speaker 8: really do need the stealth radar crap and the new
Speaker 8: stuff that's going to happen that proves your point. That
Speaker 8: doesn't prove your point, though, is that one single reaper. Okay,
Speaker 8: it can be fifteen to twenty million bucks. You can't
Speaker 8: afford to do that. The way that it works is
Speaker 8: you turn around and you use little bitty drones in
Speaker 8: a swarm. Right, that's the way that you're got to
Speaker 8: do it. But you got to get the little bitty
Speaker 8: drones in with the swarm with a smart pilot and
Speaker 8: a smart expensive ass to Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't profess to be a military strategist. I just
Speaker 2: can observe that drones seem to be the way of
Speaker 2: the future, and that those drones swarms overwhelm missile defense
Speaker 2: systems because there's so many of them, and they come
Speaker 2: at a much lesser cost than, for example, your reaper
Speaker 2: missile at twenty million dollars. If you're right on that,
Speaker 2: I don't know which could be shot down by a
Speaker 2: ground based missile defense system these days, so it's very complicated.
Speaker 2: I just use that F thirty five because it is
Speaker 2: so unbelievably expensive, and that the idea that we're moving
Speaker 2: more and more towards drones that seems to be an
Speaker 2: area of government perhaps we could cut I don't know,
Speaker 2: just throw it out there and welcome your types of input,
Speaker 2: because sometimes I'm wrong or sometimes I overstate the case.
Speaker 2: That's why I love my listening audience. Man. I don't
Speaker 2: profess to be an expert. I'm a jack of all
Speaker 2: trades and master of none, so I rely on my
Speaker 2: very very intelligent listening audience to counter my points or
Speaker 2: at least point out why in some areas I am wrong,
Speaker 2: and I'm happy to be told and enlightened along those lines. Nick,
Speaker 2: you cracked me up this morning, and also thank you
Speaker 2: for the fond memories of I forgot. I even took
Speaker 2: that sewing class. Yeah, it was cooking sewing, and then
Speaker 2: we had shop class that was it was divided up
Speaker 2: during the year, and Chuck Burkholtz did not teach either
Speaker 2: of those classes. Thought what I thought we recall was
Speaker 2: government class. But he was an outstanding teacher and very
Speaker 2: influential in my life. Five forty five. If you five
Speaker 2: KCD talk station foreign exchange, get your car into foreign
Speaker 2: exchange traditionally imported manufacturers from Asia or Europe. You're gonna
Speaker 2: benefit from the foreign exchange experience. If for no other reason,
Speaker 2: then you'll save a lot of money. But I think
Speaker 2: the experience back to if front start to finish will
Speaker 2: be better. I know they're gonna treat you well. There's
Speaker 2: such nice people there. You can talk to the mechanic
Speaker 2: if you like to, and I'm a kind of guy
Speaker 2: that likes to talk to the mechanic. You know, just
Speaker 2: quite often can't do that at the import dealers. You're
Speaker 2: stuck in the middle. With the service manager, but just
Speaker 2: one little extra perk. But you get an se certified
Speaker 2: Master technician working on your car, you will leave with
Speaker 2: a full warranty on parts and service. Nothing to worry
Speaker 2: about there. And the point of Foreign Exchange is they
Speaker 2: don't charge you the outrageous price of the dealer. So
Speaker 2: save money, get your car fixed to your satisfaction in
Speaker 2: a wonderful environment. That would be in my experience, the
Speaker 2: Westchester location of Foreign Exchange. Tyler's bill legs it off
Speaker 2: a seventy five go east, just a little diddy jog
Speaker 2: to Kinglin and take a right two street to take

Speaker 2: Five fifty fifty five PRCD talk station Happy Thursday. I'm
Speaker 2: going to get a real quick couple of stack of
Speaker 2: stupid stories here for a jump to the phone, So
Speaker 2: bear with me. We're going to start locally here Sycamore Township,
Speaker 2: specifically where a Sycamore teacher has been accused of indecent exposure,
Speaker 2: public intoxication, and making racist remarks during a school board
Speaker 2: meeting back in September of last year, incidents that were
Speaker 2: caught on incidents that were caught on camera. Video appears
Speaker 2: to show Brett Buganski of WCPO reporting props show daniel
Speaker 2: Danielle s Grace scr A. S. S Grace or is Gracie,
Speaker 2: also described as the president of the Sycamore Education Association,
Speaker 2: three different times pulling her pants down in a common
Speaker 2: area on the way to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Why are you doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know. This is a part of the Sycamore
Speaker 2: School's investigation into her conduct from September eighteenth, the last
Speaker 2: board of Education meeting, where witnesses described her as under
Speaker 2: the influence and smelling of alcohol, accused of making racist
Speaker 2: remarks directed at the principal of Sycamore High School, Taylor Porter,
Speaker 2: during a presentation. A district investigation noted two witnesses heard
Speaker 2: her make racist remarks, including quote, oh, look, an incompetent
Speaker 2: black man taking a photo. Close quote end quote incompetent
Speaker 2: black man shouldn't be in the picture close quote all right,
Speaker 2: dear what that?
Speaker 6: Amen?
Speaker 2: Brother reports that both witnesses did not indicate that the
Speaker 2: comments made were directed at Porter in order the indicated
Speaker 2: Porter heard the remarks. Both witnesses did find the statements
Speaker 2: inappropriate and offensive and reported the comments of the district.
Speaker 2: She's also accused of sending a disparaging text message to
Speaker 2: the Community Relations director Mallory Bombright during the meeting. During
Speaker 2: the meeting, while she was trying to fix technical problems,
Speaker 2: the tech said quote, you know you are a joke,
Speaker 2: right and you are lucky to have your job and
Speaker 2: pay district suspendedor for forty five days initially without pay.
Speaker 2: But she filed a grievance challenging the suspension. Both sides
Speaker 2: settled on a fifteen day suspension at a March fourth
Speaker 2: board meeting. Reached out for comment, WCPO has not heard
Speaker 2: back from MSUs Grace and real quickly here batcrap Insanity
Speaker 2: abounds in this country. A member of the state panel
Speaker 2: this is in Oregon, remember the state panel advising the
Speaker 2: Director of Oregon's Health Authority on best practices and policies
Speaker 2: on underscore mental health, identifies as a turtle. J. D.
Speaker 2: Holt also goes by J. D. Terrapin. She's on THEOHA
Speaker 2: Consumer Advisory Council, which is appointed by the director, doctor
Speaker 2: Sej al Hafi, who was appointed by the governor or
Speaker 2: the governor. The purpose of this board is to advise
Speaker 2: the doctor on the state's provision of mental health services,
Speaker 2: including through investigations and reviews the current practices. Quote during
Speaker 2: a December twentieth virtual meeting quote, Hi, everybody, it's JD.
Speaker 2: I use they, them and turtle for my pronouns. I'm
Speaker 2: in the Springfield Eugene area and I get to be
Speaker 2: part of the Council Gender wiki website. The documents will listen.
Speaker 2: Non Binary Genders describes turtle gender sometimes called tortoise gender,
Speaker 2: as a quote zeno gender identity in which one feels
Speaker 2: a gendered connection to turtle's close quote. No, there's no
Speaker 2: reference to Mitch McConnell in this article, Joe that you
Speaker 2: may think he looks like one, but he doesn't identify
Speaker 2: as one. At least give Mitch McConnell that much. This
Speaker 2: this is a real thing, Fox News reporting on it.
Speaker 2: I could go on, but I think that's enough. Let's
Speaker 2: see what CJ's got. Welcome to the program. Thanks for
Speaker 2: calling in this morning.
Speaker 11: You know I did not call about that, but I
Speaker 11: enough for the days that you had the Klingon language
Speaker 11: job posting an organ and that seams thing compared to that.
Speaker 11: But the reason why I called it is that there's
Speaker 11: a lot of news out there, but the reality is probably.
Speaker 12: The biggest news yesterday was that was on CNBC A
Speaker 12: major bond buyer and seller sat there and said, there
Speaker 12: is nobody out there buying US bonds and nobody wants
Speaker 12: them because there's far too many of them and what
Speaker 12: that could do to the bond market would be tremendous.
Speaker 12: And it makes me come back to was DAGES never
Speaker 12: supposed to do what it is doing. It was just
Speaker 12: going to go in and take the email to quote
Speaker 12: Barack Obama staff will and not take a hacks off
Speaker 12: to the government. But basically I question whether or not
Speaker 12: Donald Trump, on his first day in office, was told
Speaker 12: the bomb market's ready to seams up, and if you're
Speaker 12: not going to start doing massive cuts now, we are
Speaker 12: going to be in serious trouble. I think that what
Speaker 12: they are doing with those and just cutting things, they
Speaker 12: have made some mistakes. There's some people who probably shouldn't
Speaker 12: have been let go of that have been But at
Speaker 12: the same time, I don't know if they have time
Speaker 12: based off of what was said on CNBC yesterday.
Speaker 2: Well, and that sort of echoes what Massey pointed out
Speaker 2: the other day that Republican oppressed Continuing Resolution keeps these
Speaker 2: spending levels at the Biden level spending, and that digs
Speaker 2: us further into a hole. I mean, it's you're right.
Speaker 2: I am terribly worried that we're going to end up
Speaker 2: in this death spiral that we've been talking about forever
Speaker 2: and that people have been warned about forever and ever,
Speaker 2: and that our elected officials continue to ignore. They're fiddling
Speaker 2: while Rome is burning thanks to the call man. It's
Speaker 2: it's it's a major concern out there, and you know,
Speaker 2: young people are aware of this. You wonder why young
Speaker 2: people have this sort of you know, give up mentality.
Speaker 2: This is the reason they can see it for what
Speaker 2: it is. They're smarter than we all think. Five fifty six,
Speaker 2: five KRCD talk station, Big news and the environment and
Speaker 2: the cutting of the Biden administration in a Bamba administration's
Speaker 2: decision to declare CO two a pollutant. Great news coming
Speaker 2: out of the EPA. Well, you can talk about that
Speaker 2: coming up, and your phone calls are welcome if you
Speaker 2: want to go a different direction. I don't mind that
Speaker 2: a bit. I'll be right back.
Speaker 13: News happens fast, Stay up to date at the top
Speaker 13: of the hour.
Speaker 1: Not gonna be complicated, It's going to go very fast.
Speaker 2: Fifty five KRZ the talk station coming up on six
Speaker 2: or six fifty five KRCD talk station. Brian Thomas wishing
Speaker 2: everyone a very happy Thursday slash Friday. Eve's looking forward
Speaker 2: to the next hour. Seven oh five. Corey Bowman, he's
Speaker 2: Mayor Oal Canada here in the city of Cincinnai, running
Speaker 2: as a Republican maybe Sisyphian challenge. Not sure you can
Speaker 2: see you on what he's all about at Corey Bowman
Speaker 2: dot Com. Cory's going to join the program in an
Speaker 2: hour to talk about Hyde Park. I'm going to talk
Speaker 2: about the money allocated by the city for that skate park.
Speaker 2: Will there be a debate between between him and a
Speaker 2: half to have parlol and another fundraiser he's got coming
Speaker 2: up in April eighth, to get the details. In an hour,
Speaker 2: Donald and Neil following Corey Bowman at at seven point thirty.
Speaker 2: Uh Dwine did the State of the State address yesterday
Speaker 2: and there was a poll take and Donovan's going to
Speaker 2: give us the results of that poll. Fast forward to
Speaker 2: eight oh five. State Senator Bill Blusting's going to join
Speaker 2: the program to talk about potential property tax relief efforts
Speaker 2: going on in Columbus, as well as his idea to
Speaker 2: provide all students in element at K through twelve with
Speaker 2: free breakfast and lunch. I think price tag on that
Speaker 2: one up some like three hundred million dollars, which again
Speaker 2: I think seems odd coming from a Republican, But he'll
Speaker 2: offer his explanation for that again. At eight oh five,
Speaker 2: Jay Ratliffe yay for JAA thirty with iHeart Media aviation
Speaker 2: expert Jay Ratliffe. Apparently a passenger was shamed last December
Speaker 2: and is now suing the airline along with fellow passengers
Speaker 2: were being shamed. Air India reminding passengers to stop flushing,
Speaker 2: closed down the aircraft lavatories, the story coming from the
Speaker 2: stack of stupid. The other day, Southwest Airlines bags are
Speaker 2: no longer flying for free, and finally, airlines are looking
Speaker 2: to reduce summer capacity, which may be a bad thing
Speaker 2: if you're planning on traveling this summer. That at eight thirty,
Speaker 2: feel free to call if you got a comment on
Speaker 2: something five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty two to three Talk found five
Speaker 2: fifty on AT and T phone and thanks to Mary
Speaker 2: for forwarding me the announcement. I guess it's legitimate. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm always questioning what I read on the internet. As
Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln did say, you should put all full faith
Speaker 2: and everything that's on the internet. It's all real, said
Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln. But apparently Hamilton County Prossy your college commy
Speaker 2: pillach is uh? Has I guess got Sharon Coolidge from
Speaker 2: the Cincinnti Inquirer to be her communications director?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: I guess is Sharon no longer going to be reporting
Speaker 2: for the Inquirer anyhow? Interest hasn't posted anything in she say?
Speaker 2: How about that? Oh, maybe there is some truth to that.
Speaker 2: Maybe a better paying job, Joe. Anyway, over to Lee Zelden,
Speaker 2: He's got some big announcements in terms of climate policy
Speaker 2: and in opposite one hundred and eighty degree shift from
Speaker 2: the Biden and Obama administrations, and thank god for it.
Speaker 2: Turned the editorial Bard of the Journal does a good
Speaker 2: job explaining this. He also wrote an open letter to
Speaker 2: the public Zelden did yesterday that also is appearing at
Speaker 2: least among other places in the Journal. You can read
Speaker 2: it The Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Zelden yesterday proposed a
Speaker 2: host of well big rule changes. Most important, maybe has
Speaker 2: moved to reconsider the two thousand and nine so called
Speaker 2: endangerment finding. Get to the details on endangerment finding declaring
Speaker 2: greenhouse gases a pollutant subject to agency regulation. They write,
Speaker 2: cue the panic and misinformation campaign amen on that no
Speaker 2: climate change believer m I, or at least in terms
Speaker 2: of us being responsible for it anyway. There As a refresher,
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court ruled in Mass versus EPA back in
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven that greenhouse gases qualify as pollutants
Speaker 2: under the Clean Air Act. The EPA must regulate pollutants
Speaker 2: that can quote reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health
Speaker 2: or welfare. It's critical you point out to those words
Speaker 2: endanger public health or welfare. No surprise the Obama administration
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine determine the greenhouse gases do
Speaker 2: endanger public health or welfare. The Obama endangerment finding undergirds
Speaker 2: EPA's limits on plant foods, CO two emissions from power plants, autos, trucks,
Speaker 2: as well as methane fees on oil and gas companies.
Speaker 2: Among other rules. The Obama Biden administrations used the finding
Speaker 2: to bypass Congress important words to bypass Congress to advance
Speaker 2: their anti fossil fuel agenda. Mister Trump's first term advisors
Speaker 2: considering considered withdrawing endangerment finding, but we're worried about being sued.
Speaker 2: The Trump EPA merely revised the Obama CO two regulations
Speaker 2: to make them less punitive. The Trump administration was sued anyway,
Speaker 2: then the Biden team reverse course made the Obama rules
Speaker 2: even more punitive. The climate lobby now says mister Zelden
Speaker 2: doesn't have legal authority to rescind the endangerment finding, despite
Speaker 2: the fact that it was a random finding by then EPA.
Speaker 2: But agencies re examined past decisions all the time. Mister
Speaker 2: Zelden can reconsider the EPA's s greenhouse gas findings in
Speaker 2: light of the new or in light of new or
Speaker 2: other evidence. Most of the science cited in the Obama
Speaker 2: endangerment finding eg. Climate change will harm US agriculture and
Speaker 2: increase the size and frequency of wildfires is debatable understatement.
Speaker 2: The finding that US CO two emissions will directly harm
Speaker 2: Americans is even more tenuous. Unlike pollutants explicitly covered by
Speaker 2: the Clean Air Act. CO two emissions don't affect local
Speaker 2: air quality. They're in impact on global temperature is intermediated
Speaker 2: by other factors like cloud cover. Curbing CO two emissions
Speaker 2: in the United States will have scant impacts on Americans,
Speaker 2: especially since India and China emit with abandon. Just As
Speaker 2: antonin Scalia noted as much in Mass Versus EPA dissent quote,
Speaker 2: sadly it was a descent quote. Regulating the build up
Speaker 2: of CO two and other greenhouse gases in the upper
Speaker 2: reaches of the atmosphere is not akin to regulating the
Speaker 2: concentration of some substance that is polluting the air. Chief
Speaker 2: Justice Roberts and Justice Thomas and Samuel Alito also dissented.
Speaker 2: They were outnumbered. Withdrawing the endangerment finding could tee up
Speaker 2: a lawsuit that provides the High Court an opportunity to
Speaker 2: reconsider that Mass Versus EPA decision. And this is where
Speaker 2: it's important. Under its major questions doctrine, significant executive actions
Speaker 2: reques acquire express congressional authority, but Congress never authorized the
Speaker 2: EPA to regulate CO two emissions. Democrats have tried and
Speaker 2: failed several times when they had a majority, So there's
Speaker 2: no express authorization from Congress. And because it's non express authorization,
Speaker 2: it's a major question. Congress must do the work to
Speaker 2: curb or ban CO two emissions if it would ever
Speaker 2: do it. But they don't, and they haven't. Some energy
Speaker 2: companies warned the withdrawing the engagement finding could make them
Speaker 2: vulnerable to lawsuits by states and localities ledging their emissions
Speaker 2: cause a public nuisance by contributing to climate change. You know,
Speaker 2: but oil and gas producers already face dozens of lawsuits
Speaker 2: and state courts. In defense, they have cited the high
Speaker 2: courts AEP versus Connecticut ruling that the Clean Air Act
Speaker 2: preempts federal torts against oil and gas companies. Their supposed
Speaker 2: worry is that AEP will become a dead letter if
Speaker 2: the endangerment finding is revers But withdrawing the finding wouldn't
Speaker 2: change the court's fundamental holding that quote, it is primarily
Speaker 2: the office of Congress, not the federal courts, to prescribe
Speaker 2: national policies in the area of special federal interests quote
Speaker 2: close quote like climate. This is all the more reason
Speaker 2: why the Obama Biden EPA power grab endangers the constitutional
Speaker 2: separation of powers by usurping Congress's authority. President Trump isn't
Speaker 2: shrinking from legal fights and scrapping EPA's endangerment finding is
Speaker 2: one well worth having. Amen, if you're gonna do something
Speaker 2: of that magnitude, Congress must act expressly and direct the
Speaker 2: EPA to do it. The EPA on its own does
Speaker 2: not have the power and authority because it was never
Speaker 2: established into law that they had this power and authority.
Speaker 2: And CO two is plant food for God's sake, and
Speaker 2: the idea that that could, as the greenhouse guys, it
Speaker 2: can harm farming. The more CO two, the happier the
Speaker 2: plants are. And on that note, get a load of
Speaker 2: this backcrap insanity. This iss outright insanity, and it illustrates
Speaker 2: the point that CO two is good anyway. Instead of
Speaker 2: holding a virtual meeting, thus eliminating the need for the
Speaker 2: November conference, this is the climate alarmist Planning Conference, the
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five UN Climate Change Conference. Apparently more than
Speaker 2: fifty thousand participants from around the world are going to
Speaker 2: fly into it when they could meet virtually. It's going
Speaker 2: to be held in a place called Belma, Brazil. Described
Speaker 2: as a gateway to the Amazon River Amazon Rainforest. Remember
Speaker 2: when Sting was out there raising money to preserve and
Speaker 2: protect the Amazon rainforest to ensure that they can easily
Speaker 2: get back and forth in and out of the city.
Speaker 2: They are building a four lane high highway cut through
Speaker 2: the protected Amazon forests, which absorbs one fourth of these
Speaker 2: supposedly problematic carbon dioxide absorbed by all the land on Earth.
Speaker 2: It's plant food, and they're cutting down the rainforest to
Speaker 2: build a highway. Cord to the BBC, eight miles of
Speaker 2: rainforest has already been cut down to make room for
Speaker 2: the partially built Avenida Liberdade Highway. Like reporting on Blaze
Speaker 2: Joseph McKinnon credit where credits to former carbon capture systems
Speaker 2: are being stacked high along the roadside. Yes, it's widely reported.
Speaker 2: All the logs that have been cut down to build
Speaker 2: a highway are laid along the roadside carbon capture systems.
Speaker 2: The American conservation site Manga Bay reported the construction on
Speaker 2: the highway through the eighteen twenty seven eight or Bellum
Speaker 2: Environmentally Protected Area began June of last year. State government's
Speaker 2: Infrastructure Secretary Outler Silver Area stated at the outset quote,
Speaker 2: we are committed to advancing the works, respecting environmental legislation
Speaker 2: and the preservation of local fauna and flora. While cutting
Speaker 2: it down, State government pointed out that the high will
Speaker 2: be eliminated with solar powered lights and have bicycle lanes
Speaker 2: right next to the cars going by. State government reportedly
Speaker 2: been interested in clearing the eight point three mile stretch
Speaker 2: through the beleaguered rainforest to build a highway since at
Speaker 2: least twenty twelve, but environmental concerns got in the way.
Speaker 2: The decision to hold the COP thirty in Balem, Brazil
Speaker 2: provided the state with an excuse to cut down the trees.
Speaker 2: Brazil's President designate for the sum of a guy named
Speaker 2: Andre r Ouran Correra do Lago note in a letter
Speaker 2: Monday to other parties at the United States the United
Speaker 2: Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that quote COP thirty
Speaker 2: will be the first to undeniably take place at the
Speaker 2: epicenter of the climate crisis, and the first to be
Speaker 2: hosted in the Amazon, one of the world's most vital ecosystems,
Speaker 2: now at risk of reaching an irreversible tipping point, according
Speaker 2: to scientists. Close quote Yeah, why don't you go ahead
Speaker 2: and build another highway in it. He noted further forests
Speaker 2: like the one being chopped down quote can buy us
Speaker 2: time in climate action and a rapidly closing window of opportunity.
Speaker 2: If we reverse deforestation and recover what has been lost,
Speaker 2: we can unlock massive removals of greenous gases from the
Speaker 2: atmosphere while bringing ecosystems back to life. I mean, seriously,
Speaker 2: what is right with this picture. We've been hearing about
Speaker 2: deforestation on the Amazon since, I mean for decades now,
Speaker 2: and they're chopping it down so cars can drive through
Speaker 2: it for a climate change meeting. Eh.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, the world burns our politicians fiddle
Speaker 2: fiddle away, fiddle away, six eighteen fifty five KR City
Speaker 2: Talk station. I see James online. Hang on, James. I
Speaker 2: want to mention Pressed Asianteriers because we got to get
Speaker 2: a kitchen and model. You want to work with John Ryan.
Speaker 2: He's a great guy. He is Pressedesionteriers and his prestigeon
Speaker 2: Tiers website. You can be confided at Prestige one two
Speaker 2: three dot com. The man responsible for our kitchen remodeling
Speaker 2: projects so many years ago. We love it. I'm in

Speaker 2: Spend a lot of time in there. I prepare for
Speaker 2: the morning show. In the kitchen. It's the heart of
Speaker 2: the home, and I'm sure it is for you in

Speaker 2: what Mississippi James has got this morning. James, welcome back
Speaker 2: to the Morning Show and a very happy Friday eve
Speaker 2: to you, sir.
Speaker 14: Hey, good morning, doctor Brian. All Right, I got a
Speaker 14: point I want to make and it's going to lead
Speaker 14: to a question that I need to act. Okay, and
Speaker 14: it's gonna be in the category of education. Now, we
Speaker 14: know back in the day, and I don't want to
Speaker 14: seem like I'm rambling, but at one time it was
Speaker 14: illegal for my ancestors to read. Right done through the government,
Speaker 14: you could not be allowed to read. All right, Then
Speaker 14: that's shifted. It changed that everybody need to know how
Speaker 14: to read to be productive. Then we went to another
Speaker 14: phase more common called school the prison pipeline. And if
Speaker 14: a keen it cannot read effectively by the third grade,
Speaker 14: he's targeted for prison. Now, I don't know whether that's
Speaker 14: a straight line or whether that's just you know, zig zag.
Speaker 14: All right, you get up to today's Department of Education. Yes,
Speaker 14: we know it's top hav it. We know most of
Speaker 14: the money go towards the administration and bureaucracy, and the
Speaker 14: kids are losing out on the end. Also because a
Speaker 14: lot of time the parents didn't read a lot of time,
Speaker 14: they come out of post traumatic stress syndrome. So it's
Speaker 14: a lot of moving parts there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 8: Now the question I'm going to out.
Speaker 14: Of all the money that's being saved our CUTNY Department
Speaker 14: of Education and other program what becomes of that saves money.
Speaker 2: Well, I suppose that remains to be seen. The head
Speaker 2: of the Partner of Education now is suggesting that'll be
Speaker 2: money that could be available to schools, and that would
Speaker 2: mean more resources that are going to the states in
Speaker 2: the form of these federal grants that won't be spent
Speaker 2: on administration of bureaucracy. So that will be a positive thing,
Speaker 2: presumably if you are of the mind that money translates
Speaker 2: to positive results for the children. But in these modern
Speaker 2: times that does not hold true because if you look
Speaker 2: out at all the money on a per pupil basis
Speaker 2: that goes into cities like in the Chicago schools districts
Speaker 2: and in Baltimore and other failing school districts, they have,
Speaker 2: you know, twenty thousand plus per pupil. Yet they're reading
Speaker 2: schools are in these single digits, which means money does
Speaker 2: not translate into education. So what we need is a
Speaker 2: different path forward in teaching children how to read that
Speaker 2: actually works, like going back to phonics, for example, which
Speaker 2: is something we're doing here in the state of Ohio
Speaker 2: that does not require more money. It just requires rethinking
Speaker 2: education that will provide a benefit for the student as
Speaker 2: opposed to whatever the hell it is they're trying to
Speaker 2: teach now, which obviously has a isn't isn't working clearly fundamentally.
Speaker 2: So that's that's my response to the question, James, And
Speaker 2: that's about as good as I can do. But I
Speaker 2: think quite clearly money does not mean a good education.
Speaker 2: We need outcome based research and data and change and
Speaker 2: a change in the methodology that's going on right now,
Speaker 2: moving away from what's going on right now. That's my take,
Speaker 2: James Love Hearing from your Brother six twenty six, fifty
Speaker 2: five KCD talk station Emery. Federal Credit Union. I always
Speaker 2: describe it as a better way to bank, your hometown

Speaker 4: Donald Trump, in many ways he has the upper hand.
Speaker 4: I would argue over Vladimir Putin because of the state
Speaker 4: of Putin's economy.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you.
Speaker 4: If Putin keeps ratcheting up the pressure. I think what
Speaker 4: Donald Trump needs to do is is really follow through
Speaker 4: on his push for energy dominance, of making it America
Speaker 4: the most energy rich country on the face of the Earth.
Speaker 4: And then as soon as we do that, we can
Speaker 4: sell all of that extra natural gas, oil coal to
Speaker 4: our European allies and become the main source of their energy,
Speaker 4: which would be safer for them if for the national
Speaker 4: security reasons number one, and it would be a financial
Speaker 4: boom for the American people and would create untold numbers
Speaker 4: and hundreds of thousands of high paying career jobs for Americans.
Speaker 15: Check out the Sean Hannity radio show later today right here.

Speaker 2: starting in kindergarten. Called on Department of Education and Workforce
Speaker 2: to develop recommendations for teaching I love this basic life

Speaker 2: the speech, and I think that's all great personally anyway,
Speaker 2: you might find anything I'm wrong anyway, emphasize the need
Speaker 2: for several programs, and it's to your state budget. Creating

Speaker 2: will get a good conversation with him. Then Donovan one
Speaker 2: on the poll following Mike Dwaine State of this date,
Speaker 2: address a couple government fraud, waste and abuse areas to
Speaker 2: just dive on into real quick here. You know again
Speaker 2: it's these are low hanging fruit items, but they do
Speaker 2: all at a Department of Government efficiency. We turn to
Speaker 2: them first before we get to the the GAO Government
Speaker 2: Accountability Office independent of DOGE. Nothing no connection to that
Speaker 2: one GAO has been around a long time anyway. Start
Speaker 2: with DOGE reviewing grants from the National Institutes of Health.
Speaker 2: Now it's yesterday, among the crazy grants that they revealed
Speaker 2: a six and twenty thousand dollars grant four quote and
Speaker 2: LGB plus inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys. Now,
Speaker 2: contrast that from a pregnancy prevention program for girls. And
Speaker 2: if you are a believer in biological reality and science,
Speaker 2: you'll understand that there is no difference between those programs.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the parts work in the same way.
Speaker 2: Pregnancy is accomplished in the exact same way, whether you
Speaker 2: consider yourself a boy or you live your life as
Speaker 2: you were born as a girl. And yet apparently six
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand dollars was needed. It's a grant, right,
Speaker 2: Someone who has a friend in Washington asked for this
Speaker 2: money and received it. It's like what goes on in
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati. Listen to Todd zenz Er from
Speaker 2: the interview I had with them, or from his time
Speaker 2: in this studio earlier this week, like the skateboard park,
Speaker 2: for example, Health Institute, which is part of the Department
Speaker 2: of Health and Human Services was also spending about seven
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars to study cannabis use in quote sexual minority,
Speaker 2: gender diverse individuals close quote, Pause and ask yourself, does
Speaker 2: anybody really truly believe much in the same way in
Speaker 2: my comments about the pregnancy program that merely because you
Speaker 2: identify as a person of a different sex, that your
Speaker 2: cannabis use will be different than a cannabis use of
Speaker 2: a person who does not so identify, that your sexuality
Speaker 2: has a change in how cannabis impacts you. Seven hundred
Speaker 2: and forty thousand dollars allocated for examining quote a social
Speaker 2: network's close quote among unquote Black and Latina sexual minority
Speaker 2: men in New Jersey. You know, does this sound like
Speaker 2: Babylon b stuff? Fifty thousand dollars on assessing quote sexual
Speaker 2: health close quote among unquote LGBTQ plus LATINX youth in
Speaker 2: an agricultural community. And seventy five thousand dollars on researching
Speaker 2: structural racism. No elaboration on that one. You know, it's
Speaker 2: fun pointing these things out because as we are in
Speaker 2: this death spiral, these are great illustrations of how we
Speaker 2: got there. And moving over to the general county, a
Speaker 2: Government Accountability Office GAO, multiple federal agencies they determine the
Speaker 2: GAO not DOJ wasted one hundred and sixty two billion
Speaker 2: of your hard earned dollars in government funds making improper
Speaker 2: payments during fiscal year twenty twenty four one fiscal year
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two billion dollars the support from
Speaker 2: the US Government Accountability Office money spent by sixteen agencies
Speaker 2: across sixty eight programs. This report came out in on
Speaker 2: March eleventh. JO said improper payments those that shouldn't have
Speaker 2: been made or were made in the incorrect amount, have
Speaker 2: been a government wide issue for more than twenty years.
Speaker 2: I'm going back to good practices in regular businesses. This
Speaker 2: is something that should have been eradicated a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Easy to figure this out, the GAO did it. Five
Speaker 2: government programs accounted for roughly seventy five percent of the
Speaker 2: improper spending, start with Medicare topped the list fifty four
Speaker 2: point three billion dollars in one fiscal year alone, followed
Speaker 2: by Medicaid, the Earned Income Tax Credit SNAP Program, and
Speaker 2: Restaurant Revitalization Fund. What the Hell's that report said? Eighteen
Speaker 2: federal programs reported improper payment rate estimates of at least
Speaker 2: ten percent, including six program programs whose rates range from
Speaker 2: over twenty five percent to forty five percent. Out of
Speaker 2: the one hundred and sixty two billion dollars in improper payments,
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five billion, eighty four percent were
Speaker 2: for over payments. God, and we put our trust in government.
Speaker 2: We put our faith in government. You want you give
Speaker 2: the decisions in your life be made by government. They
Speaker 2: don't care a wit about your taxpayer dollars. They don't
Speaker 2: care that we're on a sinking ship. They don't care
Speaker 2: that the interest payment on what they overspent already is
Speaker 2: a trillion dollars this year. Get your head around that
Speaker 2: one one thousand stacks of one billion dollars, which, of
Speaker 2: course each billion dollars is one thousand stacks of one
Speaker 2: million dollars. You could fill pay course stadium with the
Speaker 2: money that they waste every year. Or that our debt
Speaker 2: service alone, which springs from well overspending, and a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of programs in the waste and fraud and abuse
Speaker 2: that goes on in federal government. Why do we continue
Speaker 2: year after year to well I guess allow this to happen.
Speaker 2: It is easy to say, but you know, they're in
Speaker 2: a position where they could stop this. It has to
Speaker 2: be identified first, and it's easy to identify. What are
Speaker 2: the Social Security Administration people have been doing all these years.
Speaker 2: Dads comes in in like five minutes, determine we've got
Speaker 2: like one hundred and seventy five year old people still
Speaker 2: on the Act of Social Security ranks, and you talk
Speaker 2: about getting rid of those, and you hear people criticize online,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they're coming after my social Security. No
Speaker 2: they're not. They're trying to save it for you. You know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this that kind of response from
Speaker 2: the detractors springs from Trump derangement syndrome, or if they
Speaker 2: have a vested interest in the fraud and the overpayments
Speaker 2: that are going out into the world. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm befuddled by that. Five on three seven four nine

Speaker 9: You hear the smoking mirrors about the federal government. How
Speaker 9: about just Cincinnati, not the surrounding areas just within the
Speaker 9: corporation limits.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, no, down, I understand, but that's one
Speaker 2: of the I mean, one of the claims that you
Speaker 2: hear from the elected officials in the city of Cincinnati
Speaker 2: is they're trying to create areas that will draw people
Speaker 2: who are making money bringing people. That's what with the
Speaker 2: idea of of of over the winerydevelopment to get urban
Speaker 2: hipsters that have a salary to move there so they
Speaker 2: can increase the tax base. You know, it's it's an
Speaker 2: uphill challenge given the situation they have in there, if
Speaker 2: you know, call crumbling infrastructure following tax base. It just
Speaker 2: seems like, you know, speaking of death spiral, that that
Speaker 2: kind of thing seems to be going on. But I
Speaker 2: don't know if building a skateboard park is going to
Speaker 2: solve the problem. I think a problem would be greater
Speaker 2: solved if they just start fixing the road, so it
Speaker 2: makes it, you know, more appealing for folks to even
Speaker 2: consider the idea of moving into the city. But all
Speaker 2: I hear, at least for my listeners, are people that
Speaker 2: want to move out.
Speaker 9: I've got one thing for you. The people that you
Speaker 9: work with, the great one, the big one, all the areas,
Speaker 9: stations and everything that are part of the iHeartMedia. How
Speaker 9: many individuals you know that work with Igheart Media that
Speaker 9: live within the corporation then of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: Well, I do not profess to know anything about where
Speaker 2: those folks live, but I'm willing to guess, which is
Speaker 2: what I think you're expecting me to say, that they
Speaker 2: don't live in the city of Cincinnati. There may be
Speaker 2: exceptions to that, but I think I'm pretty sure I
Speaker 2: know which neighborhood Well Cunningham lives in, and I know
Speaker 2: which neighborhood McConnell lives in, and they don't live in
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 9: Probably haven't got two skateboards for you, Joe, though, when
Speaker 9: they build.
Speaker 2: The park, I'll drop a ball, don't sut up. I
Speaker 2: know you, Bobby. You probably will make good on that,
Speaker 2: but don't do it, man, Save your money, Spend it
Speaker 2: on Ammo or something like that. Thanks Bobby, appreciate it Man,

Speaker 2: Morning Show Cincinnati City a city mayor candidate Corey Bowman
Speaker 2: running as a Republican in a pretty blue city. Corey,
Speaker 2: welcome back, Man. It's always great talking to you.
Speaker 16: Brian. It's awesome to be back. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: So, how's things going out there as you are on
Speaker 2: the campaign trail? Meeting people, shaking hands, and you're our
Speaker 2: website so I can tell my listeners Coreybowman dot com
Speaker 2: so you can see his seven policy pillars, among other things.
Speaker 2: And also up a right hand corner there's a little
Speaker 2: donate button. I'm sure he'd appreciate a campaign contribution. Anyway,
Speaker 2: how's it going before we get into some of the
Speaker 2: specific topics this morning, Corey.
Speaker 5: It's going great.
Speaker 16: And you know I've told people that, you know, when
Speaker 16: we first got into this, I thought I was just
Speaker 16: going to the slaughterhouse and it was just going to
Speaker 16: be me and about.
Speaker 5: Every day I get a reason.
Speaker 16: To get more encourage on this campaign trail and really
Speaker 16: just get more motivated to know that there's a chance
Speaker 16: to get this thing.
Speaker 2: Well, that's wonderful to hear. And you're getting support from
Speaker 2: the Hamilton County Republican Party, I hope.
Speaker 16: Yeah, Yeah, the Chairman Russell and Hampson County have been
Speaker 16: very helpful and very time throughout the whole process, especially
Speaker 16: for somebody that has really never gone into a race
Speaker 16: like this, and so I'm very appreciative of Well.
Speaker 2: We live in rather unusual times, and of course obviously
Speaker 2: the policies and platforms of the Democrat Party who run
Speaker 2: the city of Cincinnata and now for Cincinnati now for
Speaker 2: the last several decades, don't seem to really care about
Speaker 2: stuff they've already have that's on their plate to take
Speaker 2: care of roads and infrastructure. And I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people are really upset about that, and that seems
Speaker 2: to me one thing if we focused on would make
Speaker 2: the city a more attractive magnet for people who otherwise
Speaker 2: wouldn't consider moving into the city. I mean, we got
Speaker 2: some problems on our hands in the city, Corey.
Speaker 16: No, absolutely, And if you look at our points on
Speaker 16: our website in the whenever we were first getting the
Speaker 16: signatures for our petition, I was really honing in on
Speaker 16: where the key policies that we need to focus on
Speaker 16: and really just don't get distracted by anything. And as
Speaker 16: I looked at it, number one.
Speaker 8: Is money management.
Speaker 16: Money management, where's the money going? Are you going to
Speaker 16: prioritize the budget to where it benefits the residents of Cincinnati?
Speaker 5: And I don't think there's a greater example where.
Speaker 16: That mismanagement of funds is than in our infrastructure and
Speaker 16: in our roads.
Speaker 2: Indeed, I couldn't agree with you more on that, and
Speaker 2: let's just pivot over to an allocation of money that
Speaker 2: was just announced the other day for whatever I guess,
Speaker 2: they quote unquote found like one point three million dollars.
Speaker 2: And so there were a bunch of hands reaching out
Speaker 2: to try to get into the cookie guard, a lot
Speaker 2: of non governmental organizations who typically get some funding as
Speaker 2: directed by the mayor and council. They didn't get it.
Speaker 9: But what.
Speaker 2: Did get three hundred thousand dollars anyway, went for a
Speaker 2: skate park, and then the rest of it went for
Speaker 2: the acquisition of two more dump trucks to help deal
Speaker 2: with the behind the eight ball equipment that is used
Speaker 2: for snow removal. We found ourselves in a precarious position
Speaker 2: with the last snowfall, and so we learned that twenty
Speaker 2: percent of the equipment was inoperable. So buying two dump
Speaker 2: trucks and three hundred thousand for a skate park. Your
Speaker 2: comments and reflections on the skate park, what would you
Speaker 2: have done.
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 16: I use the example of in your own personal funds, right,
Speaker 16: because a lot of people are asking for things like
Speaker 16: not just a skate park, but you are we going
Speaker 16: to have a new arena in the city.
Speaker 8: Are we going to do this?
Speaker 2: Are we going to do that?
Speaker 16: And the problem is is that we have a personal
Speaker 16: budget that is completely out of control. We have no
Speaker 16: clue where we are necessarily and if we do that,
Speaker 16: we're not using it properly. So it's we have to
Speaker 16: have a good foundation in our budget of knowing what
Speaker 16: takes priority.
Speaker 8: The fact that you're.
Speaker 16: Buying dumb trucks and stuff just shows me that this
Speaker 16: administration and the council is really being reactionary instead of proactive.
Speaker 16: And I think that's the key thing with your finances
Speaker 16: is that you have to be proactive on those just
Speaker 16: practical issues, you know, the snow removal, the dumb trucks,
Speaker 16: the public services, the potholes. We shouldn't be patching up
Speaker 16: potholes at a rapid pace right now because that's reactionary.
Speaker 16: These things should have been prevented months or years ago.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: And my understanding is there an obligation to take care
Speaker 2: of a certain number of road miles every year, and
Speaker 2: that they have been behind in doing that for years
Speaker 2: and years and years, which of course pounds of problem
Speaker 2: and causes this reactionary allocation resources.
Speaker 16: No, absolutely, and that's the thing I kept feeling is
Speaker 16: that we have to switch from being reactionary to proactive
Speaker 16: on things.
Speaker 2: We have to be able to plan ahead, we have
Speaker 2: to be able to see.
Speaker 16: The future, and it's actually very hard to do that
Speaker 16: when you're being distracted by other things that shouldn't take precedent.
Speaker 16: I'm not saying that a skate park wouldn't be beneficial
Speaker 16: to that certain aspect of that community. I'm saying it
Speaker 16: doesn't make sense when you see the rest of these
Speaker 16: areas and shambles that.
Speaker 2: See And that's where I go. Don't build bright and
Speaker 2: shiny new objects and get your photo ops in when
Speaker 2: you have things around you that are supposed to be
Speaker 2: taken care of that you've ignored for a long time,
Speaker 2: like for example, being proactive and forward thinking. Did they
Speaker 2: do a budget analysis to find out how much upkeep
Speaker 2: and maintenance that skate park is going to require? Because
Speaker 2: you know certain elements that are going to deteriorate. What's
Speaker 2: it going to call going forward? This isn't just a static,
Speaker 2: one time cost when you build something like that, it
Speaker 2: comes with future needs and obligations.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Absolutely, And that's with a lot of these projects. I
Speaker 16: think a lot of times when these projects like you said,
Speaker 16: that provide photo ops, or they just look good on paper,
Speaker 16: they don't realize the maintenance that's going to take, or
Speaker 16: you're just not thinking ahead, and then that just puts
Speaker 16: you further further in the whole of what you really
Speaker 16: need to focus on.
Speaker 2: Indeed, and I let's see here, well the one of
Speaker 2: the other elements of your platform. And I had to
Speaker 2: bring this up because I ran into some rather frightening
Speaker 2: statistics that I had in front of me for this
Speaker 2: morning's morning show. You talk about increased safety as one
Speaker 2: of your platforms policy platform number five. Safety the city residents.
Speaker 2: It's extraordinarily important. And as I look at these statistics
Speaker 2: and this is it's kind of like a buried reality.
Speaker 2: I haven't read it, but we rank in terms of
Speaker 2: homicides per capita, we are number twelve in the country.
Speaker 2: Your reaction, Cory, No.
Speaker 16: I think that what was funny is that we had
Speaker 16: our kickoff of last week or two weeks ago actually,
Speaker 16: and whenever we had our kickoff, that same week, their
Speaker 16: aftab had his kickoff, and they were running off of
Speaker 16: a platform of lower crime and things that had benefited
Speaker 16: the community. And I'm sitting there like Bro. You know,
Speaker 16: if you're gonna ping is is that people that live
Speaker 16: in the city, people that are experiencing these crime rates
Speaker 16: and these gunshots every night, and these things that are happening,
Speaker 16: they're not going to look at satistic or the people
Speaker 16: are what a certain administration wants to say this happening.
Speaker 16: They're going to see it for what it actually is.
Speaker 16: And so it's very frustrating when you see the crime
Speaker 16: rate it's up in certain areas, when you see this happening.
Speaker 16: And so when we talk about increased safety, we're talking
Speaker 16: about getting behind the local law enforcement, getting behind the firefighters,
Speaker 16: not supplementing their key roles with programs like three to
Speaker 16: one one and other comprehensive violence reduction agencies or whatever
Speaker 16: that might be. We've got to back what works, which
Speaker 16: is our police department. Now, I've talked with police department,
Speaker 16: and I've talked with police officers that's been in for
Speaker 16: over a decade in the CPD, and what they say
Speaker 16: is that we have to find that balance between being
Speaker 16: that protecting and that force of law in the city,
Speaker 16: but also they have to be involved in the community.
Speaker 16: You have to have that community's trust. It's very hard
Speaker 16: to have the trust of the community when there's another
Speaker 16: agency that's like three to one one one that's basically
Speaker 16: answering other calls. We need to fully back the police
Speaker 16: department and our fire department in ways that really hasn't
Speaker 16: been seen in.
Speaker 2: The past, and be outspoken in support of the City
Speaker 2: of Sin Saints Police department are public. Elected officials, council
Speaker 2: members and the mayor never rise to the challenge of
Speaker 2: saying out loud that we need to support the police,
Speaker 2: need to talk about them in a positive way. We
Speaker 2: need to keep them in the neighborhoods, and again, like
Speaker 2: you said, get the police in the neighborhoods and establish
Speaker 2: a relationship that proves that they are there to protect
Speaker 2: the citizenry, not this evil, racist force that so many
Speaker 2: people try to characterize them as, which by not saying anything,
Speaker 2: suggests that the elected officials share that belief, and I
Speaker 2: think many of them may very well do it. Let's pause,
Speaker 2: We'll bring Corey back, talk about whether or not there's
Speaker 2: going to be a debate and his fundraiser that's coming
Speaker 2: up on April eighth, and maybe some of his other
Speaker 2: ideas again. Corybowman dot com and Award for affordable imaging
Speaker 2: services because you know imaging can be affordable within the
Speaker 2: ability of you to be able to pay for an image.
Speaker 2: Hospital imaging departments not the place to go if you
Speaker 2: want affordability, if you want bells and whistles and sculptures
Speaker 2: and water features and massive overhead. That's why hospital imaging
Speaker 2: departments is charged so much. Like an echo cardiogram could
Speaker 2: set you back thirty five hundred dollars or more. You
Speaker 2: may have a separate charge for the Board Certified radiologist report,
Speaker 2: which your physician will need. At affordable imaging services, an
Speaker 2: echo cardiogram only five hundred dollars with no enhancement, eight
Speaker 2: hundred dollars with an enhancement. It comes with the Board
Speaker 2: Certified radiologists report. And also they can get you right in.
Speaker 2: You don't have to wait three weeks or a month,
Speaker 2: which many times happens in the hospital. Just call them
Speaker 2: up and get right in. Expect low overhead, but the
Speaker 2: same equipment that hospitals use with medical professionals who've been
Speaker 2: doing this for decades. MRIs don't pay five thousand or
Speaker 2: four thousand. You pay a lolo price of four hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety five dollars for an MRI see t scan
Speaker 2: coming in at a lolo price of four point fifty
Speaker 2: with no contrast six hundred WITHITH. You get the idea

Speaker 2: go do a knocking, get a T shirt and maybe
Speaker 2: make a campaign contribution. Corey, let us see here. Do
Speaker 2: you know whether or not after a purvoll might agree
Speaker 2: to a debate? Has that been discussed? Have you reached
Speaker 2: out to him about doing something like that, and even
Speaker 2: are you interested in debating mayor Afterab Parvoll.
Speaker 5: There is talk about it that I've heard.
Speaker 16: There's no confirmation as of right now, but yeah, if
Speaker 16: mayor Aftab would agree to debate, and I think that
Speaker 16: that would be good.
Speaker 2: I do as well. And fundraiser coming up, speaking of
Speaker 2: campaign contributions and donations. Fundraiser I understands taking place April eighth.
Speaker 2: What are the details on that one, Corey.
Speaker 16: Yeah, so we've just announced three events. It'll be on
Speaker 16: our website by today. But specifically, what you're talking about
Speaker 16: is we're at Tuesday, April eighth. We're going to be
Speaker 16: a Price Hill Chili and that's going to be from
Speaker 16: five to seven pm and it's all all is welcome
Speaker 16: and Brian, I would like to extend a personal invitation
Speaker 16: to you if you could be there as well, that
Speaker 16: would be amazing.
Speaker 2: If my schedule laws for it, I will be happy
Speaker 2: to be there. Love Price Heal Chili, really excellent location
Speaker 2: in venue. Usually a lot of people show up for those.
Speaker 2: I presume west Side Jim Keefer will be there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think he's got an apartment there somewhere. Edie. Anyhow
Speaker 2: your your your proposal regarding practical housing. I know there's
Speaker 2: a lot of screaming and yellow and the connected communities
Speaker 2: has been talked about in what's your take on Housing
Speaker 2: in the City of Cincinnati, and as a mechanism to
Speaker 2: get more people to want to live there. It seemed
Speaker 2: to have worked when they read when they gentrified over
Speaker 2: the Rhine area. I know a lot of urban hipsters
Speaker 2: moved in there. That worked, But then people turned around
Speaker 2: and started saying, well, I can no longer afford to
Speaker 2: live in the area where I used to live. So
Speaker 2: it always comes with detractors when you invested in any
Speaker 2: given neighborhood. But what's your plan to create some sort
Speaker 2: of practical approach to housing.
Speaker 16: Well, I think one of the things that you have
Speaker 16: to hone in on is one of Cincinnati's best resources
Speaker 16: is our local small businesses and our developers. There's a
Speaker 16: lot of developers, a lot of people that are invested
Speaker 16: in the city, that loved the city, that grew up
Speaker 16: here or where they're from here. They call it their
Speaker 16: home that they're able to flip one or two properties
Speaker 16: at a time.
Speaker 5: But when you have.
Speaker 16: An overall plan, let's say, or a vision that the
Speaker 16: city has for an area, and it's only going to
Speaker 16: be done by one big time developer. That's really what
Speaker 16: you're seeing with these connected communities is that you're not
Speaker 16: allowing people in the community to do it. You're actually
Speaker 16: just bypassing that saying.
Speaker 2: No, this is what we see for the community.
Speaker 16: And then in these policies, it's a trojan horse for
Speaker 16: a lot of things that have failed in the past
Speaker 16: and other communities in the city.
Speaker 2: Well, and I know one of the hurdles to you
Speaker 2: doing any kind of development, small or large. We have
Speaker 2: an overburden of regulations in the city.
Speaker 16: Yes, absolutely, And I witnessed that firsthand as a business
Speaker 16: owner in the West End. I remember the year that
Speaker 16: we went to the Super Bowl with the Bengals, and
Speaker 16: that the year after that, it was nothing short of
Speaker 16: like crazy in a lot of these streets in the
Speaker 16: West End, specifically where I was from. Is that there
Speaker 16: was developers and investors that were lining up the streets
Speaker 16: ready to pour into this city. And the way that
Speaker 16: you saw, you're like, man, this place is going to
Speaker 16: blow up into in two years time, max. There's gonna
Speaker 16: be so much development, there's gonna be so much housing available,
Speaker 16: there's gonna be so much resources available. This is amazing.
Speaker 16: Two years later, you just realize there's a kink in
Speaker 16: the hose. What is it.
Speaker 5: Well, it has to do with regulation.
Speaker 16: It has to do with zoning that is just not
Speaker 16: practical to the area. When you've got an area that's
Speaker 16: over eighty percent affordable housing or government subsidized housing, and
Speaker 16: then you're trying to put more of that in that
Speaker 16: community instead of just allowing businesses to thrive and people
Speaker 16: to have market rate or middle income apartments and condos
Speaker 16: and townhomes. This is just something that really hinders the
Speaker 16: growth of all these communities.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it concentrates poverty in certain areas which prevents them
Speaker 2: from economic development.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Absolutely, And that honestly is probably one of the biggest
Speaker 16: factors of this campaign with the money management starting to
Speaker 16: see that just certain funds need to go to certain
Speaker 16: places and be prioritized. But then on top of that,
Speaker 16: we have to have a practical housing approach because it
Speaker 16: is an issue. You know, when people say that there's
Speaker 16: a housing crisis, you've got to realize that there's a disparity.
Speaker 16: There's the very low income housing and then there's a
Speaker 16: very high income housing. But for us, in our coffee shop,
Speaker 16: there's several individuals that work in the city, and they're
Speaker 16: able to afford a great price in our apartment, in
Speaker 16: the apartments that are above the building. We don't own
Speaker 16: the building itself, but we're able to pay a market
Speaker 16: rate for our business as well, and it's helped the
Speaker 16: community thrive. But there's a shortage of available units like
Speaker 16: that unless you have you know, if you play by
Speaker 16: the rules with the red tape of you've got to
Speaker 16: put this type of business here, and you've got to
Speaker 16: put this type of housing here, and really that shouldn't
Speaker 16: be the case.
Speaker 2: Coreybowman dot com for all the info and of course
Speaker 2: price wal Chili April eighth, beginning at five pm for
Speaker 2: the fundraiser and get a chance to shake hands with
Speaker 2: Corey and meet him up front. Corey, has been a
Speaker 2: pleasure having you on the show, with you all the
Speaker 2: beck the best on the campaign trail, and I know
Speaker 2: we'll we talk again real soon here on the morning show.
Speaker 16: Absolutely, thank you Brian for having me.
Speaker 2: My pleasure, my pleasure, and good luck stick around. We're

Speaker 2: of the State last evening, plus the poll and what
Speaker 2: people thought of it. That's coming up next with Americans
Speaker 2: for Prosperity Donovan O'Neil and a good word from my
Speaker 2: good good friend Peter Shabria Kellowilliams Seven Hills. You can't
Speaker 2: find a better team of real estate agents in the
Speaker 2: greater Cincinnati area. Man, he's a magnet for the best talent,
Speaker 2: and he also has programs that nobody else offers, like
Speaker 2: for example, Peter and his team of the Sharigroup of
Speaker 2: Kelowiams Seven Hills. Know that your life can change quickly,
Speaker 2: and sometimes you know you got to get out of
Speaker 2: dodge very quickly. Maybe you just want to skip the
Speaker 2: hassle of traditional sales process which are going to require
Speaker 2: you to keep your house cleaned up and of course
Speaker 2: get out of the house, find place for the dogs,
Speaker 2: so the people, so that your agent can show it.
Speaker 2: If you don't want to do any of that, Chabri
Speaker 2: group make it all so much easier. Within forty eight
Speaker 2: hours of them seeing your home, they'll have a cash
Speaker 2: offer ready for you. You can close as quickly as
Speaker 2: fourteen days after that cash offer is made, so it's
Speaker 2: that fast so you don't have to go through the
Speaker 2: headache and hass so if you perceive it to be so.

Speaker 2: hurry call the Sabri group to do that. Reach out

Speaker 10: with the rat Coon setbound seventy five stramp to Senday
Speaker 10: left side and on Hamilton Sippio near Weaver. I'm seeing

Speaker 10: Malines blocked Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 2: At seven thirty one on a Thursday slash Friday eve.
Speaker 2: Any day's a good day to have Donald O'Neil on
Speaker 2: for Americans for prosperity, doing the great work here in
Speaker 2: the state of how to right the ship and make
Speaker 2: it a good place to live and get the right
Speaker 2: policies in place. Welcome back, Donald and' neil. It's a
Speaker 2: pleasure to have you on again. It's good to be here.
Speaker 2: Stat of State last night highlighting what Governor to Wy
Speaker 2: wants to accomplish, and I guess what he has accomplished.
Speaker 2: He noted there were more to eighty one thousand private
Speaker 2: sector jobs have been added, which is a great thing.
Speaker 2: Couple of businesses he highlighted. He had some I think
Speaker 2: some excellent points on education, like notably phonics, bringing back phonics,
Speaker 2: and getting cell phones out of schools, which I guess
Speaker 2: the state law is going to require that school districts
Speaker 2: have an anti cell phone policy in place at least
Speaker 2: by July of this year. That can only do good
Speaker 2: for the students who are so distracted these days. What
Speaker 2: was your take on this date of the state.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think once again, you know, it's an opportunity
Speaker 17: to kind of reflect on the accomplishments over the last
Speaker 17: two years, set some priorities for the legislature as they
Speaker 17: you know, are getting to the halfway point in that process.
Speaker 17: And you know what I think we saw from Governor
Speaker 17: want on this was he's focused on pointing to the
Speaker 17: right issues right education, families, workforce, jobs, opportunity. What we
Speaker 17: have to caution though, Brian, as you as you well know,
Speaker 17: and I've been on the show many times talking about it,
Speaker 17: is what government's role is in those things and making
Speaker 17: sure that we're what we're doing for creating an environment
Speaker 17: where folks can thrive and succeed and we can be
Speaker 17: the number one state of the nation, but doing it
Speaker 17: through freedom and limited government. So that's always the thing
Speaker 17: you got to be listening out for in these speeches
Speaker 17: is wait, what are what is the executive asking for?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 17: What kind of power are they asking for from the
Speaker 17: legislature as they talk about these priorities and initiatives.
Speaker 2: Well, some of the things are like common sense, like
Speaker 2: bringing more Civics education in teaching the basic life skills.
Speaker 2: I remember a home economics class. I thought that was great,
Speaker 2: But budgeting things like that, that isn't that local school
Speaker 2: board based decision making? And bun't the school boards to
Speaker 2: make those determinations.
Speaker 17: Well, I think miner standing is you've got a lot
Speaker 17: of different requirements coming from the state and the federal government.
Speaker 17: I think what we should be doing, yeah, is priortizing
Speaker 17: some of those things and then also making sure when
Speaker 17: we're talking about education, we're really focused on the stuff
Speaker 17: that are going to set folks up for success, right
Speaker 17: the core essentials, reading, writing, arithmetic, which I know Governor
Speaker 17: Dewines put a heavy emphasis on making sure students are
Speaker 17: equipped to read, and we've got some good indicators of that.
Speaker 17: But yeah, life skills like budgeting. I think that's really
Speaker 17: important in making sure folks understand how to live their life.
Speaker 2: Once they once they get out of school. That's important. Joe,
Speaker 2: just ask will our elected officials take those classes first, budgeting,
Speaker 2: most notably Strecker. Now, you did a poll the folks
Speaker 2: reaction on the state of the state.
Speaker 17: I understand, well, this was a pre state of the
Speaker 17: state pole. We wanted to get our finger on the
Speaker 17: pulse where Ohio voters are. We could kind of, you know,
Speaker 17: deliver that map. We want to deliver that message to
Speaker 17: the legislations and say, hey, here's what you're hearing from governor,
Speaker 17: here's what you're you know, you guys are talking about.
Speaker 17: How does the lineup with actually where voters are and
Speaker 17: what they want to see y'all do with the two
Speaker 17: hundred and eleven billion dollars you're going to be spending
Speaker 17: over the next two years.
Speaker 2: All Right, we'll let that set up for the next
Speaker 2: segment where we'll see if Dwine's comments in the State
Speaker 2: of the State align with what Americans for Prosperity polls
Speaker 2: said that folks want. That's a great I like the
Speaker 2: order of things along those lines. We'll see, we'll see
Speaker 2: how that went. We'll pause for a moment. It's seven
Speaker 2: thirty five right now, so I can mention and strongly
Speaker 2: encourage you to get in touch with Bud Herbert Motors,
Speaker 2: family owned and operating. You will be working with one
Speaker 2: of the proud family owned and operated Bud Herbert Motors
Speaker 2: family members. They've ben at this more than seventy five years,
Speaker 2: so you got their pride on the line. They know
Speaker 2: everything they know there is to know about the products
Speaker 2: they sell. And we're talking about law and equipment here.
Speaker 2: John Deere Tractors they have the compact utility tractors as well.
Speaker 2: John Dere makes great ones, x Mark mowers, Steal Honda
Speaker 2: Power equipment. Only the best brands out there. They service
Speaker 2: everything they sell. They'll deliver to you so you don't
Speaker 2: have to have a truck or borrow one or throw
Speaker 2: it in the back of the trucks. You're like I
Speaker 2: did when I did that terrible experience of the box store.
Speaker 2: So ignore the box stores. They don't you're not working
Speaker 2: with a family member. I don't think they care a
Speaker 2: whit about you and what you buy, and they don't
Speaker 2: know as much or couldn't possibly know as much about
Speaker 2: what they're selling. That's why you rely on the great
Speaker 2: folks at Bud Herbert Motors, superior customer service and the
Speaker 2: best lawn equipment out there to learn more and find
Speaker 2: the equipment they offer and take a look at it.
Speaker 2: Bud Herbert Mootors dot com, Budherbertmotors dot com and tell them.
Speaker 2: Brian said, how many give them a call when you're
Speaker 2: talking one of the Herbert family members. That's five one three,
Speaker 2: five four one thirty two ninety one five one three,
Speaker 2: five four one thirty two ninety one fifty five. KRC

Speaker 10: Rolinger into downtown. Slow traffic eastbound two seventy five near
Speaker 10: the New Richmond exit. Construction blocks the right lane. Now
Speaker 10: an accident on the left shoulder. Chuck Ingram on fifty
Speaker 10: five KRZE the talk.
Speaker 2: Station seven forty Here fifty five KRCD Talk Station, A
Speaker 2: very happy Thursday to you. Senator Bill Blessing at the
Speaker 2: aut top of the UR News talk about property taxes,
Speaker 2: which we all are upset about. In the meantime, Donovan
Speaker 2: and Neil for Americans for Prosperity talking about the state
Speaker 2: of the state. So you did a poll in advance
Speaker 2: of the state of the state, and as I gravitated
Speaker 2: to some of the comments that Governor de w I
Speaker 2: mentioned about education, which appealed to me. Apparently addressing education
Speaker 2: was one of the right things to do because that
Speaker 2: was really important to the folks you pulled.
Speaker 17: Yeah, over over seventy five percent of Ohio voters said
Speaker 17: that they want it. It's a very or extremely important
Speaker 17: combined to address education here in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 17: And I think we you know, something that we had
Speaker 17: seen coming out of COVID right as parents were better
Speaker 17: connected to their kids' education or saw their kids not
Speaker 17: being educated because they shut the school down. This continues
Speaker 17: to be an issue that folks want to see resolved.
Speaker 17: And I think you've got a mix of folks who
Speaker 17: care about it from the academic and what we're being
Speaker 17: taught perspective right in choice. But then you've also got it,
Speaker 17: I think from the folks who want to know they're
Speaker 17: getting value and the talking about property taxes, the property
Speaker 17: taxes they're paying to go to fund the schools and education.
Speaker 17: And so we really hope all makers pay attention here
Speaker 17: and work to address some of those challenges of which
Speaker 17: we also had voters care about.
Speaker 2: In terms of education, flexibility, Brian, Yeah, and I don't
Speaker 2: know did Governor de Wine say anything about that school choice, flexibility,
Speaker 2: options for parents to send their children, Not that I caught.
Speaker 17: Unfortunately, last State of the State he did, and that
Speaker 17: actually really helped supercharge the conversation. So I didn't catch
Speaker 17: anything like that in his comments yesterday.
Speaker 2: That seems a lost opportunity because I think, you know,
Speaker 2: education choice, I think resonates with people of all political stripes,
Speaker 2: and unless you remember the teachers Unit, I think your
Speaker 2: job's at stake or something. You know, if you are
Speaker 2: a state that offers this, that is a magnet for
Speaker 2: families considering places to live. It's just one more, you know,
Speaker 2: piece of the puzzle to make Ohio an in demand
Speaker 2: state as opposed to something that's completely overlooked. Oh totally,
Speaker 2: and that's why.
Speaker 17: Yeah, So sixty eight percent of the voters we pulled
Speaker 17: on this question support education flexibility. And what that means, right,
Speaker 17: is it's not just money following the child. It's the
Speaker 17: ability to go to the school that's going to best
Speaker 17: meet that kids needs. Are access to the resources that's
Speaker 17: going to help, you know, maybe close a learning loss
Speaker 17: gap that the child might have, and so increasing policy.
Speaker 2: Passing policies that are.
Speaker 17: Going to increase education flexibility are incredibly critical and it's
Speaker 17: something that voters are wanting.
Speaker 2: And I think something else I don't think he addressed,
Speaker 2: but it's energy prices. Folks a little upset about energy
Speaker 2: and energy policy is a prioritization.
Speaker 17: I don't think I've met anybody for a while Brian
Speaker 17: who has said, boy, I'm really happy about these low energy.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I know going through the roof. So
Speaker 2: no surprises day.
Speaker 17: But what I think was insightful because we wanted to
Speaker 17: kind of understand where folks want to see the legislature
Speaker 17: take things. Sixty percent of voters say the government's number
Speaker 17: one priority should be ensuring affordable and reliable energy, even
Speaker 17: if it may slow the pace of renewable energy developments.
Speaker 17: So we're opposed to renewable energy, right, But the signal
Speaker 17: is we got we gotta unleash energy abundance here, not
Speaker 17: just in the country, but particularly here in the state Ohio.
Speaker 17: We got an abundance of resources, abundants opportunity, and that's
Speaker 17: what two thirds of voters want.
Speaker 5: To see happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I died. I'm glad Donald Trumps and
Speaker 2: I guess you probably saw the EPA has got has
Speaker 2: moved away from this Green New Deal garbage and going
Speaker 2: back to more sensible Donald Trump, you know all of
Speaker 2: the above energy strategy. And you know, and that's another thing.
Speaker 2: Ohio could be the leader of nuclear power. I mean,
Speaker 2: we just need to just get rid of the regulatory
Speaker 2: overburdens and the impediments to nuclear energy, embrace this modern
Speaker 2: nuclear power generation technology, the modular nuclear your plans. I mean,
Speaker 2: we could be a real leader and another magnet for
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence to come here, because that's the that's the
Speaker 2: key to drawing AI facilities and the jobs that they have.
Speaker 2: Oh without a doubt.
Speaker 17: And unfortunately, there are are already legislative vehicles. There have
Speaker 17: been many hearings talking about just that. And it's not
Speaker 17: what we typically see, right, which are subsidies or picking
Speaker 17: winners and losers in the energy marketplace. The policies we're
Speaker 17: seeing Center Bill two, House Bill fifteen, those are focused
Speaker 17: on speeding up in many ways, speeding up the permitting
Speaker 17: process so that if somebody's got an energy project and
Speaker 17: energy generation project they want to get off the ground,
Speaker 17: they're going to know they're going to have an answer
Speaker 17: to it and not just go into a black hole
Speaker 17: like they often do, you know, on the federal level
Speaker 17: as they work through these things.
Speaker 2: Well, since i'll be talking about property tax relief coming
Speaker 2: up off top of the our news with Senator Blessing,
Speaker 2: I see that's a big concern for ohioan's because everybody's
Speaker 2: upset about the size of their property tax bill. At
Speaker 2: least the corner of your survey. It's a big priority,
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 17: We've got sixty five percent of folks say property taxes
Speaker 17: are too high. Again, not not in the realm of
Speaker 17: big surprises here, right, folks are paying a lot and
Speaker 17: they they're they're they're starting to feel the pain and
Speaker 17: the pinch. What I think was especially insightful though, was
Speaker 17: that what they want to see lawmakers focus on. And
Speaker 17: there's really kind of two competing tracks that we're seeing
Speaker 17: here at the State House's legislative proposals come in. One
Speaker 17: is providing you know, what I would deter what I
Speaker 17: would call temporary relief, right like, hey, let's let's subsidize
Speaker 17: this through the state and not not in like a lower.
Speaker 2: Case that subsidized Brian.
Speaker 17: Right, like, let's have the state, you know, provide some
Speaker 17: relief to communities with high tax burdens that sort of
Speaker 17: weather's storm, or let's provide some more exemptions to particular
Speaker 17: groups or populations. But what voters want to see actually
Speaker 17: is long term structural changes. And so I think, you know,
Speaker 17: reforms that will address the twenty mil floor, or we'll
Speaker 17: get to you know, making sure that folks have transparency
Speaker 17: in you know, what sorts of levees have, what impact
Speaker 17: on their property tax.
Speaker 2: Bill, those kinds of policies.
Speaker 17: I think voters are going to reward next November if
Speaker 17: wallmakers get to get to work on addressing them.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of seniors out there that
Speaker 2: were just shocked and dismay and really concerned about their
Speaker 2: ability to stay in the places they've been in for
Speaker 2: a long time. You know, the properties have all increased
Speaker 2: in value dramatically as on the heels of COVID and
Speaker 2: the demand, and you know they just can't manage. So
Speaker 2: relief for seniors seems to be a top priority, and
Speaker 2: I think mister Blessing is going to be addressing that
Speaker 2: in some part. After the top of the air news
Speaker 2: I got a big chuckle out of no phanomi of
Speaker 2: tax dollars being used to support sporting organizations. You did
Speaker 2: a pull on the taxpayer funding for the new Cleveland
Speaker 2: brown Stadium. Wow, look at that one eighty.
Speaker 17: And this isn't just Cincinnati, by the way, this wasn't
Speaker 17: a poll we just ran in Southwestal House. These aren't
Speaker 17: Bengals fans, you know, dogging on the team up north.
Speaker 2: That is.
Speaker 17: This is you know, across the state of Ohio. And
Speaker 17: I think that's right right. You know, folks don't want
Speaker 17: to see their panheigh property taxes or pay more on
Speaker 17: energy bills. The last thing they want to see their
Speaker 17: tax dollars going to or new taxes being opposed on
Speaker 17: them to pay for our stadium deals for you know,
Speaker 17: over five billion dollar infl franchises. I don't think we
Speaker 17: need to be doing that, and the voters seem to
Speaker 17: feel the same way. So I think there's been a
Speaker 17: lot of cold water doused on some of the governor's
Speaker 17: proposals around funding stadium, the Cleveland Brown Stadium deal, and
Speaker 17: I'd be curious to see how that may be, what
Speaker 17: maneuvers they take now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a growing number of people just are
Speaker 2: I think we've all learned a lesson from the pay
Speaker 2: Course stadium and always described as the worst stadium deal
Speaker 2: negotiated in the entire country. We've been living with that
Speaker 2: for a long time. And now they got their hand
Speaker 2: in the public funds cookie jar to do some expansions
Speaker 2: and some improvements that we're all going to be on
Speaker 2: the hook on thanks to the terrible deal we dealt.
Speaker 2: So anyhow, eighty percent a pose. And again we're talking
Speaker 2: about a two point four billion dollars stadium they're considering.
Speaker 2: That just seems outrageous, man, But I always thought the
Speaker 2: way of the future was sitting in your own basement
Speaker 2: watching it on a giant screen TV and not paying
Speaker 2: twelve dollars to fifteen dollars for a beer Donovan.
Speaker 17: See, well, you know, I like that front row seat
Speaker 17: as well, so it's fun to go to a game.
Speaker 17: But yeah, it's a it's a pricey endeavor. Yeah, but
Speaker 17: each their own, I suppose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well, they're built for the wealthy among us,
Speaker 2: and that's part of the redevelopment plan for pay Corps

Speaker 2: eighteen fifty one Center to talk about what's going on
Speaker 2: with the eighteen fifty one Center and what they've been
Speaker 2: going on and are doing lately. That'll be a half hour,
Speaker 2: followed by Senator Bill Blessing from the State of Ohio
Speaker 2: on property tax relief. Do they have some ideas, apparently
Speaker 2: recently submitted twenty one recommendations for review. He is on
Speaker 2: the ten member Joint Committee of Property Tax Review, and
Speaker 2: we're going to hear what he has in terms of
Speaker 2: property tax relief. Fingers crossed Bill Blessing after the top
Speaker 2: of the our news.
Speaker 13: Covering Trump's first one hundred days day every day promises
Speaker 13: made promises. Kevin fifty five krs the talk station.
Speaker 2: People are mad as hell when they got that most
Speaker 2: recent tax bill, and people are really demanding answers and
Speaker 2: looking for solutions to how to solve the problems. So
Speaker 2: we don't get whacked like that again. I understand you'd
Speaker 2: be talking about this at Thursday evening at the Empower
Speaker 2: You seminary.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's correct, and you are absolutely correct. A lot
Speaker 5: of anger out there, and particularly with seniors on fixed incomes.
Speaker 5: You are right about that.
Speaker 2: So I understand there's a ten member joint committee on
Speaker 2: property tax reform you are heading it up. Are you
Speaker 2: looking for people to show up to offer their concerns,
Speaker 2: problems and solutions or are you going to be providing
Speaker 2: information about potential legislative fixes what's going to take place.
Speaker 5: So I'm happy to go over elements of the report.
Speaker 5: And I should qualify this by saying I'm a co
Speaker 5: chair Representative Bill Romer, who's the Houseways and Means Chairman.
Speaker 5: And I should also clarify the Ways and Means Committee
Speaker 5: as the committee that deals with taxes. I chair the
Speaker 5: Senate Ways and Means Committee. I think at this point
Speaker 5: the focus is going to be more on what we
Speaker 5: should be doing going forward. And admittedly, you know, myself
Speaker 5: and other members of the General Assembly, we didn't wait
Speaker 5: for the report to come out before we started dropping
Speaker 5: legislation and attempts to address this even last General Assembly.
Speaker 5: So but I also hope to like clear up some
Speaker 5: you know, misconceptions with with what's going on, what we
Speaker 5: can and can't do. You know a good example of
Speaker 5: that is, you know, people will say, well, why can't
Speaker 5: you just freeze property taxes? And you know a big
Speaker 5: issue with that is, well, a lot of these provisions
Speaker 5: in the constitutions, so you'd have to go to the
Speaker 5: ballot in order to repeal them if you if that
Speaker 5: was something that we were going to.
Speaker 2: Do, okay, and my what are the springboards? And this
Speaker 2: has to be the Supreme Court case from I guess
Speaker 2: two decades ago declaring that the funding of schools was
Speaker 2: on constitutional, Yet there's been no change that the line's
Speaker 2: share of our property taxes goes goes to the schools.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so now so now you know where I'll be
Speaker 5: going in this budget discussion. You're right, in fact, when
Speaker 5: as introduced budget passes and there's some nuance to this.
Speaker 5: But if that, let's say that passes and is our
Speaker 5: school funding formula going forward, the state versus local share
Speaker 5: split will be lower than it actually was during d'olf.
Speaker 5: So in other words, that during d'off I think it
Speaker 5: was in the low forties. So, in other words, forty
Speaker 5: percent of the funding came from the state, sixty percent
Speaker 5: from locals. If this school funding formula goes through, it'll
Speaker 5: be I believe in the load of mid thirties. So
Speaker 5: obviously we need to, you know, fix that. And for
Speaker 5: what it's worth, the formula that is being phased in,
Speaker 5: if we fully phased it in, it is, in my
Speaker 5: at least in my estimation, a fully content formula. I
Speaker 5: think you'd find the school districts would say the same thing.
Speaker 5: But yes, you are, you're absolutely right that that is
Speaker 5: a huge piece of this in the sense that if
Speaker 5: you do more at the state level, it's not like
Speaker 5: school districts like going to the ballot, I think there'd
Speaker 5: be a lot less pressure.
Speaker 2: To do so, Okay, so fewer levees then fewer tax
Speaker 2: levy ballot initiatives. Absolutely, well, that's I'm sure that it
Speaker 2: sounds like that's going to be welcome for my listening audience.
Speaker 2: And of late, most of them get shot down because
Speaker 2: people's property tax burden is just you know, it's too challenging,
Speaker 2: so they're less likely to vote to maybe vote for
Speaker 2: a levee that is actually needed. Some view them as
Speaker 2: not unneeded in many cases, but that's up to our
Speaker 2: voters to decide. But now, how will this help in
Speaker 2: terms of tax relief for the taxpayer? Since the fundamental
Speaker 2: issue is here the bottom line, what do we have
Speaker 2: to pay in terms of taxes?
Speaker 5: If you're looking at fixing the school funding formula, that
Speaker 5: would be something that I would say is more in
Speaker 5: the future a fix that would be more future looking
Speaker 5: and it's not going to offer immediate relief. But that's
Speaker 5: There are a number of bills in the General Assembly,
Speaker 5: some of which I carry, that would offer immediate relief
Speaker 5: I still maintain the three best ideas are one the
Speaker 5: property tax circuit breaker to an expanded homestead exemption, and
Speaker 5: three a property tax deferral program, and some other states
Speaker 5: do that. To give you an idea, how that works
Speaker 5: is that the state creates a large fund and you apply,
Speaker 5: and let's say you're a senior on fixed income, for example,
Speaker 5: your property taxes would be freeze at their current level,
Speaker 5: and the state would then take on the burden as
Speaker 5: they continue to go up. But then either when you
Speaker 5: pass away or sell the home, the state would then
Speaker 5: recoup the lost out revenue via a lean on the property.
Speaker 2: That seems logical. I mean that mechanism. At least the
Speaker 2: state is not out this money completely, like it's some
Speaker 2: sort of government program to just pay for things for people.
Speaker 2: But you get the money back when the house is
Speaker 2: sold or the estate is disposed.
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, I mean it was. The basic gist
Speaker 5: of it is that if you have a lot of
Speaker 5: equity in your home, which a lot of seniors do, uh,
Speaker 5: they're able to tap into that early, which I think
Speaker 5: the vast majority of them would say, we're totally for.
Speaker 2: That, all right, But the lean would be established upfront,
Speaker 2: so they couldn't so get like a second mortgage and
Speaker 2: get all the equity out of the home and leave
Speaker 2: in debt.
Speaker 5: Correct And there's there's a lot of guardrails that would
Speaker 5: have to you know, be in place for this. But
Speaker 5: the state, the state that did this, well, there's two
Speaker 5: of them that did it. One is Maine, the others Minnesota.
Speaker 5: The draft that I have is based on Maine, though
Speaker 5: I have not introduced that at this moment because it
Speaker 5: was well at the time, there was some talk of
Speaker 5: which who who pays for the fund and and you know,
Speaker 5: my contention was let's do this at the state level.
Speaker 5: There were others that would say, we'll have this done
Speaker 5: at the county level. It's we're still trying to negotiate that.
Speaker 2: I see. Now you mentioned the circuit breaker. Can you
Speaker 2: explain that to my audience.
Speaker 5: Yes, So, the way the circuit breaker operates is people
Speaker 5: property taxes are you know, hated by people because they're
Speaker 5: not tied in any way to your ability to pay.
Speaker 5: So most seniors feel this when they, you know, they
Speaker 5: retire and then all of a sudden twenty years later,
Speaker 5: their fixed income is eroded, but yet their property taxes
Speaker 5: keep rising and they find themselves unable to pay. What
Speaker 5: the property tax circuit breaker does is caps the amount
Speaker 5: of property taxes that you pay at a percentage of
Speaker 5: your income. So, in other words, you, if you're making
Speaker 5: fifty grand a year in retirement, the percentage in the
Speaker 5: bill that we introduced is fixed at five percent if
Speaker 5: you go. If your property tax burden rises above five
Speaker 5: percent of your income, the circuit breaks and then the
Speaker 5: state starts taking on the additional burden for that. So
Speaker 5: you basically will never pay more property taxes than in
Speaker 5: theory you can afford with that. The drawback of it
Speaker 5: is is excuse me, it's an expensive program. But a
Speaker 5: colleague of mind introduced legislation last YA that made this
Speaker 5: revenue neutral. We paid for it by going after a
Speaker 5: number of what we would consider corporate welfare pieces of
Speaker 5: statute that really needed to be reworked in order to
Speaker 5: provide relief to seniors in this Actually, although I shouldn't
Speaker 5: say that that's relegated to just seniors, this would be
Speaker 5: everybody within reason. I mean, there are guardrails if you
Speaker 5: have a you know, two million dollar home and a
Speaker 5: half a million dollar salary and retirement, Yeah, that the
Speaker 5: circuit breaker is not going to apply to you fair enough.
Speaker 2: And then the homestead expansion, just briefly, how does that work.
Speaker 5: So right now the homestead exemption is now there's an
Speaker 5: income limit and there's a benefit. So broadly speaking, the
Speaker 5: benefit is a dollar amount that comes off your valuation.
Speaker 5: So if you have a two hundred thousand dollars home,
Speaker 5: homestead exemption is under thirty grand, but now it's adjusted
Speaker 5: for inflation. So for ease of example, let's say it's
Speaker 5: twenty five grand your home's value to two hundred thousand.
Speaker 5: Let's say you qualify you're a senior over sixty five,
Speaker 5: disabled veteran, there's some other widow of a disabled veteran.
Speaker 5: You get that twenty five thousand off, so you're the
Speaker 5: valuation of your home for tax purposes goes down to
Speaker 5: one hundred and seventy five thousand, and you pay taxes
Speaker 5: on that. So it's not a huge benefit. But the
Speaker 5: caveat is that you can only get this if your
Speaker 5: income is less than about thirty six thousand per year,
Speaker 5: which really cuts off the vast majority of Ohioans. Not
Speaker 5: only that it was universal at one point, so there
Speaker 5: are some folks that make significantly more that are grandfathered in,
Speaker 5: but in all cases it's really not the best benefit.
Speaker 5: So the idea is with this legislation is to say,
Speaker 5: look at this as a percentage of what you're actually taxed.
Speaker 5: So if you pay over the course of a year
Speaker 5: six thousand in property taxes and you qualify at the
Speaker 5: lowest level, you might get twenty percent off your property taxes.
Speaker 5: So if you're paying six thousand, you would be getting
Speaker 5: a twelve thousand dollars benefit from the state. However, as
Speaker 5: your income rises, that percentage drops. It's like a progressively
Speaker 5: declining curve, so that you know by the time you
Speaker 5: hit one hundred some thousand or more, you're not getting
Speaker 5: any benefit. But the nice part about this is is
Speaker 5: that since it's tied to median income and tied to
Speaker 5: percentage of the property taxes that you actually pay, if
Speaker 5: you're a senior on fixed income, that you know you're
Speaker 5: right at the line towards the top. When you retire,
Speaker 5: you actually start walking back up the curve as your
Speaker 5: fixed income is eroded away, so your benefit actually grows
Speaker 5: over time, which I think is a great way to
Speaker 5: do this, and I think it would be significantly cheaper,
Speaker 5: although we're still trying to find the cost estimate for this.
Speaker 5: But again, the homestead exemption only applies to generally speaking
Speaker 5: people over the age of sixty five.
Speaker 2: All right, well, if you're concerned about your property taxes,
Speaker 2: you want to learn a little bit more about this
Speaker 2: and more lengthy conversation with Senator Bill Blessing taking place
Speaker 2: Thursday night, that's March thirteenth, coming up seven pm. Is
Speaker 2: beginning again Martice Thompson on what the eighteen fifty one
Speaker 2: center con law is doing. That'll start at seven and
Speaker 2: Bill will take over at seven thirty for a full hour.
Speaker 2: So I just make pivot over real quick here. You
Speaker 2: are one of the bipartisan sponsors are behind the bill
Speaker 2: to pay for students to have a free breakfast and
Speaker 2: lunch at school. Can you explain your motivations behind this
Speaker 2: and how much is it going to cost? I have
Speaker 2: to observe, this doesn't sound like a thing usually a
Speaker 2: Republican would embrace. So what's the motive the motive behind this?
Speaker 2: And I've had some of my listeners say that out loud.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm asking on their behalf. But in this
Speaker 2: as the way the article reads from the Ohio Capital Journal,
Speaker 2: this is a free lunch and breakfast for all students.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's correct. So let me step back for a moment.
Speaker 5: It's the cost of this is so this is the
Speaker 5: Senate built one oh nine for those who want to
Speaker 5: research democrat out again per fiscal year. But I have
Speaker 5: to add a caveat to that because there's been some
Speaker 5: confusion for folks who have reached out to my office
Speaker 5: and have said, well, you know, we pay en up
Speaker 5: in property taxes for school, we don't want to pay
Speaker 5: more property taxes for this. Very briefly, this will not
Speaker 5: raise your property taxes. This would be entirely state funded.
Speaker 5: And you know, once again like the property tax circuit breaker,
Speaker 5: we had a bill last General Assembly that made this
Speaker 5: revenue neutral, so it was already paid for. But the
Speaker 5: advocates of this particular program, in light of the fact
Speaker 5: that we're in budget season, wanted something introduced for public inspection,
Speaker 5: and they wanted it clean, no other elements in there.
Speaker 5: Which admittedly, the bill that we had last year that
Speaker 5: paid for this was what I would consider sort of
Speaker 5: a mini budget. But the motivation for this is simple
Speaker 5: that when you look at a lot of the administrative
Speaker 5: burden behind doing something like this with respect to free
Speaker 5: and reduced lunch. That adds a significant cost to this,
Speaker 5: and in the end, it's actually pretty cheap just to
Speaker 5: have it universal and end a lot of the stigma
Speaker 5: behind this, which is one of the reasons why we're
Speaker 5: doing this. But more importantly, I think that it's also
Speaker 5: something that I think will reduce truancy. Because the income
Speaker 5: limits for free and reduced lunch aren't exactly high, there's
Speaker 5: a lot of lower middle class parents that would be
Speaker 5: included in this. Beyond that, when we talk about tax
Speaker 5: cuts at the state, at the state level, and we
Speaker 5: have a number of people you know that that look
Speaker 5: at a top rate income tax cut and they're like, well,
Speaker 5: how does this benefit us? It really, it really doesn't.
Speaker 5: And we as families pay a significant amount of money
Speaker 5: to raise our children. And yes, I understand that not
Speaker 5: everybody has children, and you know, but this would be
Speaker 5: a significant benefit to families, which frankly, you know, my party,
Speaker 5: Republican Party, we we pay a lot of lip service
Speaker 5: to and for parents. I have universally heard on both
Speaker 5: sides of the aisle that they liked this idea because
Speaker 5: it you know, it's a tax cut to them, and
Speaker 5: at the same time it also absolves them of a
Speaker 5: lot of things that are quite difficult actually as parents.
Speaker 5: I mean I have three boys myself, and you know,
Speaker 5: packing the lunch in the evening for them, you know,
Speaker 5: getting them up and getting them breakfast in the morning.
Speaker 5: That all would be taken care of at the school.
Speaker 5: And it actually achieves an economy of scale from that standpoint.
Speaker 5: So it's expensive obviously for parents to you know, buy
Speaker 5: school lunches and breakfasts and prepare them at home. Having
Speaker 5: this done at the school level I think would be
Speaker 5: ultimately cheaper for parents and for the state. So yes,
Speaker 5: I do understand that there are people that disagree with this.
Speaker 5: They think, you know, this is more government in their lives.
Speaker 5: But bear in mind that with respect to you know,
Speaker 5: the idea of a common good, I mean, we do
Speaker 5: have that in K through twelve public schools where you
Speaker 5: are constitutionally guaranteed a public education. In this state. There's
Speaker 5: a lot of research about kids struggling to learn if
Speaker 5: they're not well fed. This makes an attempt to bolster
Speaker 5: our public education system. So in other words, your education
Speaker 5: is already free in the sense at the point of sale.
Speaker 5: I mean, the state does pay for it, and so
Speaker 5: do property taxes. Adding school lunches to this is, in
Speaker 5: my opinion, the logical next step.
Speaker 2: Okay, I just some people say, well, listen, you know,
Speaker 2: folks on Life's Margins, they had the SNAP program. They're
Speaker 2: capable of buying food and preparing lunch. You know, my
Speaker 2: mom will always packed me a lunch and she got
Speaker 2: to select what we ate. The food offerings at school
Speaker 2: weren't exactly the best when I was going to school.
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure what sort of nutritional guidelines you're
Speaker 2: going to have on this, but I'd like to think
Speaker 2: if you're going to be providing a free lunch to everybody,
Speaker 2: at least will be subject to maybe some sort of
Speaker 2: RFK junior type quality of foods as opposed to the
Speaker 2: stuff that we're normally accustomed to in a school lunch line.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there are rules to it now, they're supposed to
Speaker 5: be somewhat healthy. I mean, I don't have the details
Speaker 5: on the top of my head on that, but you know,
Speaker 5: certainly we can make that more strict at the state
Speaker 5: level if we need to. But even then, in the end,
Speaker 5: having a kid said, is in my opinion, better than
Speaker 5: having them not fed and trying to sit through class
Speaker 5: just thinking about one and only thing, which is I
Speaker 5: need to eat. But you're right, I don't. I mean,
Speaker 5: I for what it's worth, I think there would be
Speaker 5: a lot of local outcry if if the schools school districts,
Speaker 5: for example, decided that, you know, we're just going to
Speaker 5: serve donuts in the morning because that's cheap processed food.
Speaker 5: I just, you know, to the extent that we need
Speaker 5: to at guardrails, that's fine, But I just I struggle
Speaker 5: to believe that they would go ahead and do that.
Speaker 5: And oh there's real real quick. One thing I did
Speaker 5: forget to say about this. This isn't just public schools.
Speaker 5: This would also be you know, chartered on public So
Speaker 5: your Catholic schools would be uh would be receiving this
Speaker 5: as well, all.
Speaker 2: Right, but not not homeschools.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no, right, that's correct. And
Speaker 5: you would you would want some sort of physical presence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Senator Bill Blessing, Do you have widespread
Speaker 2: support for this? Is this a sure thing that's going
Speaker 2: to go through or is there going to be some
Speaker 2: pushback from.
Speaker 5: Oh, there's pushback, so from at the legislative level. That's
Speaker 5: where I've gotten the most pushback. So the governor has
Speaker 5: said that he supports this, but says we we can't
Speaker 5: afford it, which I challenge him on that, because we
Speaker 5: you know, in the budget we do have that five
Speaker 5: thousand dollars childcare tax credit piece. There's you know a
Speaker 5: number of other provisions that he's trying to do for
Speaker 5: families that probably have similar costs. Just the choice of
Speaker 5: what we want to do. The bigger concern is Speaker
Speaker 5: Matt Huffman, who I don't believe that he wants to
Speaker 5: do it. He made he made the argument that well,
Speaker 5: you know they get these free breakfasts and lunches, they
Speaker 5: may not want them. The kids are just going to
Speaker 5: throw them away and that's going to lead to a
Speaker 5: lot of a food waste. And I kind of chockoled, Well,
Speaker 5: if you know you can't, you can. You can lead
Speaker 5: a horse to water, you can't make them drink. I
Speaker 5: remember in grade school myself a number of times that
Speaker 5: I had a PB and J sandwich that turned into
Speaker 5: I guess a PB and J crape. YEP, it was
Speaker 5: all smashed up and I would end up throwing it
Speaker 5: away because I'm not eating that. But you know, at
Speaker 5: least being paid to make the attempt I think is
Speaker 5: worth it. And frankly, I'm sure there's a lot of
Speaker 5: food waste that you know, their parents have all the
Speaker 5: good intentions of giving them, you know, green beans, I
Speaker 5: think was the example that Speaker Hoffman used. Uh yeah,
Speaker 5: the kids see that and there there. You know, you'd
Speaker 5: hope that they would eat it, but chances are they
Speaker 5: may not.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I suggested really healthy food options only
Speaker 2: in the free school lunch and they either you either
Speaker 2: eat it or you don't. You know, there's got to
Speaker 2: be some tough love in the room if we're looking
Speaker 2: out for our children's self. We do have a massive
Speaker 2: obesity crisis in this country. Senator Bill Blessing, thank you

Speaker 2: Get a little bit of late start, but better late
Speaker 2: than never. With iHeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliff. Welcome back,
Speaker 2: my dear friend Jay. It's always a pleasure to have
Speaker 2: you on the morning show.
Speaker 6: Pleasing, good morning.
Speaker 2: Let's start out of order because I want to give
Speaker 2: a little more time to the first story about the
Speaker 2: passenger shaming. Let's just jump to one that made the
Speaker 2: stack as stupid this week Air India passengers stopping up
Speaker 2: the toilets on the airplane. What the hell, Brian, I've.
Speaker 18: Said this before, I'll say it again. You'll never hear
Speaker 18: me make that arrogant claim of well, I've seen it
Speaker 18: all because fails to recognize people can still come up
Speaker 18: with ways to surprise us. And this stems from a
Speaker 18: fourteen hour scheduled flight from Chicago to Delhi. Win eight
Speaker 18: of the twelve laboratories and yes, I said eight of
Speaker 18: the twelve stopped working because passengers had flushed.
Speaker 6: Clothing down the lavatories. Now, I remember a number.
Speaker 18: Of years ago with Gilbert and Narley, with our friend
Speaker 18: Gary Burbank, he called one of the airlines panic that
Speaker 18: he had he was in trouble with the law because
Speaker 18: he flushed a foreign objects down the toilet, and it
Speaker 18: was a chicklet made in Mexico. And he thought for
Speaker 18: sure he'd broken some sort of FAA rule because there
Speaker 18: is a sign in the lavatory saying no foreign objects
Speaker 18: in the lavatories. I guess we need to expand that,
Speaker 18: my attorney friends to clothing is not allowed down. I
Speaker 18: just you know, well, I went around the industry since
Speaker 18: October of eighty one. I've never heard of a story
Speaker 18: where the clothing caused the laboratory to stop working. Certainly
Speaker 18: not at eight of the twelve.
Speaker 2: Okay, the flight, and see now that was my point
Speaker 2: because I wanted to ask you about that. This sounds like,
Speaker 2: you know, it was a concerted effort. It was an
Speaker 2: intentional thing to sabbage ties to toilets for some reason.
Speaker 18: I don't know if it's sabotaged, Brian, or if it's
Speaker 18: a thing that I'm just oblivious to. But they were
Speaker 18: five hours into the fourteen hour flight, and they turned
Speaker 18: around and came.
Speaker 6: All the way back to Chicago.
Speaker 18: Because anytime we're on a flight where you don't have
Speaker 18: an appropriate number of lavoratories that are operational, you're not
Speaker 18: to operate the flight. So at that point in time,
Speaker 18: it was it's quicker to go back and land than
Speaker 18: it is to go forward in land. And to think
Speaker 18: that it wasn't a mechanical situation with the lavatories, which
Speaker 18: happens from time to time, but it was the fact
Speaker 18: that people were flushing clothing down the last When the
Speaker 18: story hit my desk, I thought, okay, this is you know,
Speaker 18: somebody's having fun with something, because this isn't a real thing.
Speaker 18: And I saw report after report after report after report,
Speaker 18: and yeah, because I'm always very guarded on anything you
Speaker 18: and I talk about, I want to make sure that
Speaker 18: I've got all the facts, and.
Speaker 6: This one just blew me away.
Speaker 18: But yeah, eight of twelve laboratories on the Boeing Triple
Speaker 18: seven in opera because of clothing that people had flushed.
Speaker 6: Down the lamage.
Speaker 2: Again, it made the stack as stupid earlier this week,
Speaker 2: we'll pause and bring Jay Ratler back, talker, is it
Speaker 2: actionable to passenger shame plus a lot more. I'll be
Speaker 2: right back after these brief words.
Speaker 13: Fifty five KRC dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, Gary self, it here for shut off TV
Speaker 2: talk station. It is a Friday. He always enjoyed clothing
Speaker 2: up to get the bout Teressey morning shows on Thursdays
Speaker 2: with iheartmediaviah next work Jay Ratlo. So let's resume the
Speaker 2: conversation and this next topic goes back to an incident
Speaker 2: I think that happened in December. Remind my listeners about that,
Speaker 2: and we've got a new development on it, which is
Speaker 2: well a lawsuit.
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's a twenty nine year old She was flying
Speaker 18: low cost carrier South American carrier gall Col. She boarded
Speaker 18: her flight Brian, she noticed that a child he was
Speaker 18: seated in her window seat. She asked the child, you know,
Speaker 18: if she could sit there, and he moved. Everything was
Speaker 18: nice and once the passenger sat down, the mom of
Speaker 18: the child approach saying, hey, is it okay if my
Speaker 18: son sits in your seat? Now, apparently he had another seat,
Speaker 18: another window seat, but he preferred her seat, and this
Speaker 18: traveler polightly refused, saying no, I'm just gonna sit here,
Speaker 18: And that's when the moms started yelling at her and
Speaker 18: takes out her phone and starts recording her. Thinks she
Speaker 18: was a bad person. Well, this video, as most travel
Speaker 18: videos do, went viral more than two million views, and
Speaker 18: this woman was forced to quit her job as a banker,
Speaker 18: lived in seclusion at her home.
Speaker 6: As a result.
Speaker 18: And now she's seen the airline and the passenger who
Speaker 18: took the video saying they were trying to shame her
Speaker 18: when all she was trying to do was sit in
Speaker 18: the seat she had paid for. And we're seeing so
Speaker 18: many times I hear from somebody I know at least
Speaker 18: once a week that's on a flight where there's normally
Speaker 18: a family of a bunch that bored and they started
Speaker 18: asking a bunch of people to change their seats that
Speaker 18: they paid for to accommodate them so they can all
Speaker 18: sit together. Now keep in mind, this family could have
Speaker 18: gotten the seeds together, could have paid whatever they had
Speaker 18: for the family to sit together. But somehow we're the
Speaker 18: bad guys when we say no, thank you and bright.
Speaker 18: Some of these requests are so ridiculous. It's like, can
Speaker 18: I have your aisle seat in row eight so you
Speaker 18: can sit in my middle seat in row third?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that's a hard no.
Speaker 18: But people are upset when you say no to that.
Speaker 6: I mean, I just you know.
Speaker 18: And sadly, this is getting more and more prevalent as
Speaker 18: the behavior on board airplanes continues to spiral.
Speaker 6: In fact, a term you're.
Speaker 18: Gonna We've talked about gate liights, the people that tried
Speaker 18: to board the flight earlier. Yeah, they're supposed to. There's
Speaker 18: a new term out there that's called speakers gum. These
Speaker 18: are people that are on board an airplane that fail
Speaker 18: to use their earbuds air buds where they have the
Speaker 18: recording the noise just to them, not to everybody else.
Speaker 18: Right now, we've got so many people on planes that,
Speaker 18: for whatever the reason, just play. They're elect on a
Speaker 18: device at high volumes where it's not only where they
Speaker 18: can hear it, but everybody was in seven rows and
Speaker 18: if light intents are trying to tell the people to
Speaker 18: stop it. But we're seeing more and more of that
Speaker 18: kind of behavior. So it's getting to the point where
Speaker 18: it's just absolutely ridiculous to fly. And yeah, I mean
Speaker 18: speakers come if you hear that, that's what they're talking about.
Speaker 2: I always learn a new term from you. I think
Speaker 2: this has become a common occurrence with you, Jay Ratliff.
Speaker 6: I'm not making these up.
Speaker 18: It's sad that we have behavior so bad we have
Speaker 18: to assign names to it, but hey, that's what we do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and don't be that person. You know, if you
Speaker 2: were on an airplane, would you want someone playing their
Speaker 2: favorite music which might you might find offensive or not
Speaker 2: within your liking, sitting next to you? And that is
Speaker 2: just the most inconsiderate thing.
Speaker 18: Jay, Yeah, well you and I can't comprehend it because
Speaker 18: I know how you were raised. I know, yes, there's
Speaker 18: no way on God's green.
Speaker 6: Earth we would do that.
Speaker 18: But the idea that not only do people feel comfortable
Speaker 18: doing it, they take exception when you add them to please,
Speaker 18: could you turn that down? So you know only four
Speaker 18: rows can hear it instead of seven.
Speaker 6: It's just yeah.
Speaker 18: Now there's been times where you have people on board
Speaker 18: the airplane decide to watch porn in the flighty and
Speaker 18: say would you please turn that off? Because other passengers
Speaker 18: could find it defensive. So you just have this behavior
Speaker 18: that is just permeating from flights these days that you know, yes,
Speaker 18: the number of irate passengers is down compared to years before,
Speaker 18: but some of this behavior is just beyond my ability
Speaker 18: to comprehend because I don't think that way, and thank
Speaker 18: God I don't think that way because it just makes
Speaker 18: no sense to me.
Speaker 2: I am still reeling when you said someone had the
Speaker 2: audacity to watch porn on an air airplane lord a
Speaker 2: regular occurrence. Oh my god.
Speaker 18: And you and I've talked about these flight attendants already
Speaker 18: not getting the respect that they deserve from the people
Speaker 18: who fly that are responsible for protecting against in an
Speaker 18: emergency and all the things they have to do. Just
Speaker 18: add that on top of it, where they have to
Speaker 18: tell people to try to act in something that would
Speaker 18: be considered a civil fashion of some kind.
Speaker 6: I don't know, I just you know.
Speaker 18: That's why they continue to get my undying gratitude because
Speaker 18: of the crap they have to put up with people that.
Speaker 6: Fly every day. Amazing.
Speaker 2: Well, it's pause, we'll bring it back. We'll talk about
Speaker 2: Southwest with a new baggage policy and reduction of summer
Speaker 2: capacity for airlines just in time for the summer travel season.

Speaker 10: the talk station, Hey.
Speaker 2: Forty nine, I think you have a KIRCD talk station.
Speaker 2: One more with iHeart mediaviation expert Jay Ratlift All right,
Speaker 2: moving over, got a new in Southwest Airlines baggage policy.
Speaker 18: They're you know, bags fly free right well, as of
Speaker 18: May I think twenty sixth or twenty eighth, that's.
Speaker 6: Not going to be the case.
Speaker 18: Southwest has announced that they're going to have to start
Speaker 18: charging for checked bags. And this is after fifty four
Speaker 18: years of bag fly free. Now, if you are a
Speaker 18: member of their frequent flyer program, I believe you're still
Speaker 18: going to get the two bags if you have the
Speaker 18: credit card for through Southwest, I think one bag, but
Speaker 18: everyone else is going to be paying for the further bags.
Speaker 18: And of course, you know, Southwest is seen for years airlines,
Speaker 18: they're competitors making hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions
Speaker 18: of dollars a year in bag faith and they have
Speaker 18: constantly consistently said.
Speaker 6: No, we're not going to do that.
Speaker 18: Well, the Elliott management group, who came in to try
Speaker 18: to do hostile takeover here a while back, has really
Speaker 18: forced Southwest into adopting things they had not done before,
Speaker 18: such as a signed seating which is supposed to begin
Speaker 18: sometime next year, premium seats where people can pay for
Speaker 18: more leg room, and now for bags that the passengers
Speaker 18: are going to have to pay for and we don't
Speaker 18: know yet what the cost is going to be, but
Speaker 18: it is a it's a step the Southwest had to take,
Speaker 18: and pretty much my only surprise is that.
Speaker 6: It took so long.
Speaker 18: I thought they would have done this years ago because
Speaker 18: Southwest used.
Speaker 6: To make money falling out of BED.
Speaker 18: I mean, they would make money when everybody else was
Speaker 18: losing money decade after decade.
Speaker 6: But the problem is.
Speaker 18: That right now they changed their business practice. They used
Speaker 18: to be successful in flying in and out of smaller,
Speaker 18: not regional airports, but smaller airports where they could get
Speaker 18: in and out quickly, limited flight activity, very few, little congestion,
Speaker 18: and they could use that silver revenue tube for five
Speaker 18: segments a day.
Speaker 6: Well, then they decided, well, we're going to go to
Speaker 6: La Guardian, We're going to fly in out of Atlanta, We're.
Speaker 18: Going to do this, this and this, and now they're
Speaker 18: dealing with airports that are known for some of their
Speaker 18: flying delays. And now that aircraft can't be used for
Speaker 18: five segments a day, it's three or four, and all
Speaker 18: of a sudden they start making much less in revenue. Well,
Speaker 18: obviously they're hurting. And this is a step that they're
Speaker 18: going to be taking to try to get it back,
Speaker 18: and of course passengers are either understanding or kicked because
Speaker 18: now they have to pays. Well, you had fifty four years,
Speaker 18: come on. And the other thing is I like that
Speaker 18: Amtrak had fun with this. They put out a tweet saying,
Speaker 18: I guess we're the only ones where bags to go free,
Speaker 18: so come on. So I love it when a business.
Speaker 6: Has fun like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Amtrak train will most likely be delayed
Speaker 2: and those always yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: This is all true.
Speaker 18: But I'm still going to give them credit for having fun.
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, I'm glad Southwest is making the changes they
Speaker 18: need to make because they're a great airline. They have
Speaker 18: been struggling over a lot of different self inflicted issues
Speaker 18: over the last several years, and they're trying to turn
Speaker 18: things around, and I think that they're going to be
Speaker 18: able to do it.
Speaker 6: And look, this is an.
Speaker 18: Airline that the passengers are the employees rather At one time,
Speaker 18: they only had four airplanes in the early early days,
Speaker 18: and for them to make money, they had to turn
Speaker 18: that airplane in ten minutes, that's six hundred seconds.
Speaker 6: And they found a way to make it happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now.
Speaker 18: A lot of times they were business and a lot
Speaker 18: of things have changed since those early days. But the
Speaker 18: bottom line is, if anybody can pull this turnaround off,
Speaker 18: it's going to be the people at Southwest Airlines.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, just in time for summer travel and
Speaker 2: vacation season, airlines are reducing summer capacity.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 18: In fact, Delta now late last week that they are
Speaker 18: reducing their future guidance. They're slashing some of those expectations
Speaker 18: in half. So as a result, they're saying that the
Speaker 18: economy is starting to slow or the future demand for
Speaker 18: travel is slowing, so they, as a result, are going
Speaker 18: to reduce the number of flights during the busy and
Speaker 18: incredibly lucrative summer travel season. A Brian, This scares me
Speaker 18: because if we see Delta and now United and other
Speaker 18: carriers do that where they're reducing the number of seats
Speaker 18: during that busy summer travel season, it means that the
Speaker 18: fairs for the remaining seats are going to go up, up, up, up,
Speaker 18: up up up. I'm hoping that most of the people
Speaker 18: listen to us if livery summer bought their tickets six
Speaker 18: seven months ago, But if you've not yet on it,
Speaker 18: I would suggest quickly doing so, because the fares are
Speaker 18: only going to go up, and you know, grab the
Speaker 18: trip cancelation insurance to protect yourself and make your reservations
Speaker 18: as quickly as you can, because as this trend continues,
Speaker 18: the fares are going to go up, go up, and
Speaker 18: it's going to be considerably more to fly this summer
Speaker 18: than it was last simply because we have few receipts.
Speaker 2: Sound advice from Jay Rylof as always and finally, as
Speaker 2: we always do, the part before we part company, hub
Speaker 2: delis for today.
Speaker 18: Today Los Angeles has given us issues, some big time
Speaker 18: issues there. If you're flying to and through there, Ryan,
Speaker 18: the real story is going to be later tonight over
Speaker 18: the next couple of days, where we're going to storms
Speaker 18: through the central in the eastern part of the United States.
Speaker 18: If you're gonna be flying over the next forty eight hours,
Speaker 18: please make sure the airlines have a way to get
Speaker 18: a hold of you. That way, if your itinerary is impacted,
Speaker 18: they can get a hold of you long before you
Speaker 18: get to the airport. Maybe give you options where you
Speaker 18: can decide, you know, what you would like to have
Speaker 18: if something happens to your flight. But yeah, it's going
Speaker 18: to be problematic over probably through Sunday, so if you're
Speaker 18: scheduled to fly, just make sure that your lunch.
Speaker 6: Can get ahold of you.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jay Rattler for all the information and sound advice.
Speaker 2: I look forward to another segment of this top or
Speaker 2: another segment of our aviation discussion next Thursday, and between
Speaker 2: now and then, best of health you and your better half.
Speaker 18: Imagine the fun that will happen between now and then, brother,
Speaker 18: But I'll be.
Speaker 2: Right, no doubt about, it's going to be a long
Speaker 2: list expected. Thanks Jay, I have a great day. Fay
