WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.199 Five o five. 2 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.439 At fifty five k r C DE talk station. I'd 3 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:33.560 be fraid to eat the dude does, and uh quite 4 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.039 often I do not. You not to bide a lot 5 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.520 of things anyway. Brian Thomas right here. Glad to be 6 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.640 and glad to see Joe's Trekker in the Executive Producers 7 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.159 studio where he belongs. And what a wonderful rundown today. 8 00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:46.880 Thank you Joe Strekker for lining up the guests. I 9 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.479 truly appreciate what you do. I hope listeners do as well. 10 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.159 The return to court bom and running from their of 11 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.240 the city of Cincinnati and uphill challenge we all know 12 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.359 for a Republican candidate, but I think he's got some 13 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.200 good ideas and a welcome refreshing change given what we 14 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.079 learned about from Todd Zenzer, just scraping the surface of 15 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:06.480 the problems of the city of Cincinnati faces. You can 16 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.439 check out that podcast from earlier in the week fifty 17 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:10.599 five car Se dot Com. Corey Bumman will get his 18 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.519 thoughts on Hyde Park and the three hundred thousand dollars 19 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.959 for skate park. Yeah, one of the things Todd talked 20 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:22.000 about photo op is I think Todd described he's so 21 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.359 mellow and mild mannered, not pointed in his criticism, but 22 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.840 nonetheless offering his criticisms while being very subtle about it. Anyhow, 23 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.400 skate park, it's like a million dollar thing, but they 24 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.239 needed some additional money, so of course finding finding Hey 25 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.840 look an additional one point three million dollars laying around 26 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.959 City of Cincinnati sides are going to allocate three hundred 27 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.560 thousand for a skate park. Anyway, we'll see what Corey 28 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.920 thinks about that. Will there be a debate f TEB 29 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.959 pervol versus Corey Bowman? That would be interesting, wouldn't it. 30 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.319 Wouldn't that be enlightening and helpful for the City of 31 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.879 Cincinnati's voters, plus as a fundraiser company April eighth, and 32 00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.040 Corey will let us know the details about that. You 33 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.120 can find him online if you to learn more about 34 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.879 Corey's candidacy, what he stands for, his seven policy pillars, 35 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:09.759 It's Coreybowman dot Com. After Corey, we'll hear from Donovan 36 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.039 and Neil from Americans prosperity A pole was taken after 37 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.240 Mike Dewaines's State of the State, which took place the 38 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.120 other day, got some details on that and Donovan on 39 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.039 that and the poll what do people think about it? 40 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.719 State Senator Bill Blessing on property taxes, as well as 41 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:31.080 his proposal, which I again find interesting and somewhat out 42 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.680 of left field, for a Republican to provide free breakfast 43 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.439 and lunch at the schools for children, every child. That'd 44 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.120 so if you've got a really wealthy family and maybe 45 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:46.319 mom's packing a really nice lunch, or the nanny or 46 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.039 one of the staff is prevaring a real nice lunch 47 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:50.919 for them to take the school, or they can actually 48 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.199 afford to buy the lunch at school. Nonetheless, it'll be free. 49 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.840 I think they price tagged three hundred million dollars. We'll 50 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.159 let Bill explain that after he explains the empower you 51 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.120 some of our details, or at least scratching the surface. 52 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.560 What's going to go on tonight? At the power you 53 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.960 sing are on property taxes. iHeart met the aviation expert, 54 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.719 Jay Ratlift at eight thirty thankfully every Thursday. Looking forward 55 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.400 to talking to Jay. Always like winding down a Thursday 56 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.360 as we segue into Friday with lighter topics and the 57 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.199 air of aviation. Today, a passenger was shamed now suing 58 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:26.280 the airline and suing fellow passengers. The stems from a 59 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.520 December incident we previously talked about with Jay Air India 60 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.000 recomminds passengers don't flush close down the toilet. We end 61 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.800 the stack is stupid. The other day, I'm glad Jay's 62 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.560 going to be addressing that Southwest Airlines bags are no 63 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.719 longer flying for free and airlines looking to reduce summer capacity, 64 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.879 which she describes as a bad thing for travelers. Anyway, 65 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.159 those are the topics with Jay. There's a topic you'd 66 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:51.680 like to talk about, feel free to give me a 67 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:55.240 call five one, three, seven eight, two to three talk 68 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.960 pound five fifty on AT and T phones and be 69 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.520 sure and check out the podcast page fifty five. Caref 70 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.599 you're scratching your head over what Congressman mass he voted. 71 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.240 Knowing the cr he outlined and explained it very well yesterday, 72 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.360 pointing out that it just keeps the Biden level of 73 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:13.680 spending at the same level, which in Washington is described 74 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.199 as a cut. And this Chuckie Schumer's coming out saying 75 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.000 they don't have the votes to pass this in the Senate, 76 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.399 so we're looking for a government shutdown tomorrow now. Thomas 77 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.600 Massey suggested this was all a setup and then it 78 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.600 would pass through the Senate. Keep your popcorn out. Schumer's 79 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.160 pushing for a thirty day extension, which will give them 80 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.560 more time to work out a bipartisan arrangement. Yeah right, 81 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.759 I got a bridge I want to sell you. So 82 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.040 if there's a shutdown, the Democrats will own this one. Clearly, 83 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.519 they will own this one anyway. Some interesting points made 84 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.759 along the lines of what Congressman Massy was talking about 85 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.519 regarding what is a cut and what isn't. And of 86 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.240 course the continuing resolution keeping finding at basically the same 87 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:55.639 level unto the biding administration, is not a cut, but 88 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.560 the Democrats in Washington perceive it to be. There's an 89 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:03.639 interesting editorial commentary by Linda Mashbarne Newman where does this 90 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.120 show up? Epoch Times, talking about what Doge is doing 91 00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.680 and looking at it from a business perspective, what Elon 92 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.759 Musk is doing radically different from any other effort to 93 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.319 bring efficiency to government. It's not all radical by business standards. Remember, 94 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.160 government doesn't make anything, it doesn't produce anything. It just 95 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.319 consumes our tax dollars and spends them any damn playway 96 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.800 they please which doesn't suggest it operate like a business 97 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:32.759 looking for efficiency. When new management comes into a company, 98 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.439 good management will scrutinize every aspect of the business to 99 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.639 figure out what everything is and how it impacts the 100 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.839 bottom line. They'll start with a zero based budget, zeroing 101 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.720 out each budget item and requiring each program, product, line, 102 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.720 and widget to justify why it deserves its line item 103 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.319 back in the budget. Government does the furthest thing from 104 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.040 zero based budgeting. The various budgets of the federal government 105 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.120 know how to do only one thing, and that's grow. 106 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.879 For example, mandatory, which makes up more than sixty percent 107 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.120 of federal budget and includes programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and 108 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.439 Social Security, is authorized by law to provide benefits to 109 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.000 any person meeting the eligibility requirements with a growing population. 110 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:18.600 These statutes effectively set the budget into auto grow. For 111 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.240 discretionary spending, which makes up a quarter of federal spending, 112 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.920 the House and Senate pass appropriations bills. These bills generally 113 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.639 use as their budget based lines the existing funding amount 114 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:35.120 plus infilation, and almost always add more based on the 115 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.040 various special interests of the senators, representatives and their constituents. 116 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.759 The rest of the federal budget is interest on the debt, 117 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.319 which anyone with a credit card debt can tell you compounds. 118 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.240 All these are a far cry from zero based budgeting, 119 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.560 and in fact, anything that isn't an increase is viewed 120 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.120 as a cut. Going back to Massey's point, yeah, you 121 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.079 heard that correctly. If government budget stays the same year 122 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.759 over year, according to Washington math, that's a cut. Ostensibly, 123 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.920 this is to make up for the inflation that cuts 124 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.800 the budget in real terms, and politicians of all stripes 125 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.079 underscore all stripes will take to the floor of the 126 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.000 House and send it to lamb best anyone who tries 127 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:22.439 to slow that spending growth. Departments and agencies also face 128 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.680 incentives to spend any unused funds before the end of 129 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.480 the fiscal year, not because the money is use it 130 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.000 or lose it, but because it ensures their budgets plus 131 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:37.199 inflation will become the new baseline next year. Heaven forbid 132 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.639 you not spend money you didn't need. Go ahead and 133 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.319 hurry up and use it up. What the Washington class 134 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.800 is really bristling about is doge bringing to government what 135 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:53.319 any ordinary business would consider best practices. It's importantly clear 136 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.279 so far itself, a doge itself is not actually done 137 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.360 any cutting. What it has done has brought much needed 138 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:04.079 sunlight what the average American might reasonably view as shady, frivolous, 139 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:10.000 or absurd at government spending with their money. Admittedly, it's 140 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.600 a short distance from there to waste, fraud, and abuse. 141 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.360 Go ahead and lambask for saying doch hasn't cut anything, 142 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.000 But what about all the grants that were stopped? Some 143 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.639 point to that. What do you mean they haven't cut anything? 144 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.160 You're reminded is simply that pausing government spending is not 145 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.360 the same thing as cutting it. Also, those pauses have 146 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.360 been made by the executive branch, to which Congress has, 147 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:39.360 in its infinite wisdom or dereliction of constitutional duty, chosen 148 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:44.080 to largely delegate allocation decisions. By all means, yes, Congress 149 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.000 needs to do the tough work to trim its appropriations 150 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:52.360 and fix entitlements. Sadly, it has no incentive to stop 151 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.159 spending money it does not have. Instead, it leads it 152 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.919 to the executive branch via the Treasury and also the 153 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.399 Federal Reserve figure it out. So why not let the 154 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.600 guy who built the reusable rocket give it a try? 155 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.840 With thirty six trillion dollars in federal debt and interest 156 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.519 payments expected to cost nearly one trillion dollars this year, 157 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.879 more than the government spends on national defense, which we 158 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.200 spend more than any other nation, I think, probably more 159 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:22.600 than all the nations combined on defense. And you know 160 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:23.960 there's a hell of a lot of fraud, waste, and 161 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.440 abuse in the defense budget. Anyway. She concludes, a high 162 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.519 time Uncle Sam stopped treating itself as Uncle money bags 163 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:34.879 and just maybe that tech sevy nephew Jo Doge can 164 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:43.200 help them do that. Amen, Amen, I just my mind 165 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:47.159 is blown. I mean, we elect these folks to take 166 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.399 care of the nation. We elect these folks to deal 167 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.720 with the right thing for the American people, and look 168 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.720 what they are doing, Republicans and Democrats alike, with the 169 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.440 exception of massing a handful of others, no effort is 170 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.559 ever made, not my pecked project, not my state, most 171 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.039 notably along the lines of the military industrial complex. A 172 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:08.639 lot of those weapons manufacturers and are in Republican states, 173 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.000 and they won't cut a program that is unnecessary. I 174 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.120 still believe we don't need the F thirty five fighter 175 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.639 jet with drones dominating the airspace, and really the new 176 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.320 theater of war is drone related. You don't have to 177 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.440 have a pilot in there, and all the millions and 178 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.559 millions of dollars that go into those aircraft just merely 179 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:29.279 to protect the guy flying it. Drones go in, go out. 180 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.240 They are basically disposable items. You blow one up, you know, 181 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.200 we can rebuild another one. How many drones can you 182 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.120 build for the cost of an F thirty five fighter? 183 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:37.799 Huh? 184 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.799 Those things are billions of dollars. Time for us to 185 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.200 rethink a lot of allocations in the American military. And 186 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.679 I don't mean to pick on the American military, you 187 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.679 know how much I love our veteran friends out there, 188 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.639 and God bless the people who are willing to enlist 189 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:53.480 and do the hardest work out there.

So 255 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.679 among his in his address Dwine said. Dwine announced investment 256 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.919 into Certified Peers Supporters, a job opportunity for people who 257 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.679 have overcome addiction or mental health challenges, a chance to 258 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:46.399 help other people struggling with those issues. Dwainestead over sixty 259 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:48.879 four hundred people have completed the program since twenty nineteen. 260 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.120 I guess he wants to expand it. He directed the 261 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.279 Department of Education and Workforce developed reading and writing curriculum 262 00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:00.639 incorporating more social studies and civics content. Lighted efforts with 263 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.360 the Ohio History Connection to increase the focus on Ohio 264 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.879 history in schools beginning with kindergarten. Called upon the Department 265 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.559 of Education Workforce to develop recommendations for teaching basic life 266 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.120 skills like cooking and budgeting into schools. That would be 267 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:22.240 great that bring back home economics, maybe bring back shop class, 268 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.200 but budgeting, how to maintain a family budget. Simple things 269 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.519 like that, rather than indoctrinating our children into woke ideology, 270 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.159 and let's allocate a little bit of time to some 271 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:38.600 basic life skills. I like that, and announced a plan 272 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.519 to celebrate schools that are fully aligned with the science 273 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.320 of reading, a phonics based method for literacy, bringing back 274 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:49.240 classical education is the right way to go. This new 275 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:53.440 wave of learning is obviously ill served our children given 276 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:56.279 the test scores. I mean we're graduating students from high 277 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.360 school that can't even read. How do you expect to 278 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.440 go to college if you can't read? Or how do 279 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.519 you expect to get through life if you can't read. 280 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.759 Let's bring back phonics that worked for so many generations 281 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:06.200 of people. 282 00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:10.159 Uh. 283 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.559 He in sized the need for several programs, creating child 284 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.120 wellness campuses to make sure children can remain in their 285 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.200 communities with support when they can't stay with their families. 286 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.279 Funding Ohio C see Ohio c a program to help 287 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.559 students who need eyeglasses in kindergarten through third grade. Putting 288 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.679 driver's education back into Ohio schools. I remember that that's 289 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.559 not a thing anymore. Joe, do they have Did they 290 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:36.360 have drivers ed when you went to high school? 291 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:36.759 No? 292 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.879 I don't know when they got rid of that. I 293 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.159 mean you had Ohio, you had, you had school Driver's 294 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.440 ed or you could go to like BIX Driving School. 295 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.360 I suppose if your parents had the means to afford 296 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.879 Bixed Driving School and institute a new program for Ninoha 297 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:55.559 counties providing dental screenings and treatments in schools for low 298 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.279 income families that might not otherwise have access. So there's 299 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.120 your rundown from the state of the state. I do 300 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.880 like the jobs, the adding of eighty one thousand private 301 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:08.079 sector jobs. I suppose that's probably the highlight of the 302 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.359 whole thing. Probably could use a whole lot more here 303 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:12.400 in the state of Ohio.

I know it's early, but I 329 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:24.920 figured i'd give you a call. You kind of hit 330 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:25.960 a good nerve. 331 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:28.799 I wish I would have had the opportunity. 332 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.960 And I know since you went to the Highlanders school, 333 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.680 oh Kills. Yeah, there was a choice. You could have 334 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.480 went to Diamond Oaks and you know, been a welder 335 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.880 or whatever. True, but I didn't have that choice. You know, 336 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.599 I went to a all boys Camtholic school at Roger Bacon, 337 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.200 and you know, we came out and of course I 338 00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.680 went into the police academy. 339 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.599 So that was my choice. 340 00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:56.480 But if I would have had that choice to maybe 341 00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.839 go to something like Diamond Oaks, I might have become 342 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.880 a owner of the dry. 343 00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:09.640 Cleaners like Andrew Pappits exactly. Or you could you could 344 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.519 have made a six plus, six figure plus income if 345 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:14.839 you had chosen welding as a profession. I understand that 346 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.240 some of those welders do really, really well. 347 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:21.519 Especially female. I mean they understand.

At that time, she was a GOP endorse 390 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.519 candidate who ran in an opposition of critical race theory 391 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.240 being taught in the schools. During the pandemic, she decided 392 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.000 to homeschool her children. Became critical of Forest Hills School 393 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.880 District after she said her children had quote a lot 394 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:46.319 of gaps in their education close quote, motivating her to 395 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.559 run for school board. Her children did end up going 396 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.799 back to school, but to Guardian Angels School instead, not 397 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.400 Forest Hills. That's according to previous coverage from the Enquiry, 398 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.160 apparely second time in a three week span that the 399 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.319 school board has lost a member. In February, the board 400 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.160 voted three to two to part ways with Treasurer Alana 401 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:20.319 Cooper for an undisclosed reason. Let us see Dan Monk 402 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:24.920 paula Christian prop supporting building a CPO. New public advocacy 403 00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:28.319 group plans to use March Madness as a launch pad 404 00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.240 for its campaign to convince Hamilton County commissioners to spend 405 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:35.960 sales tax dollars on a new arena, even if it 406 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.880 comes at the expense of old stadiums. Hamilton County Growth 407 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:41.880 Alliances naming the organization plans to use radio, digital and 408 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:44.839 direct direct mail ads to build public support for an 409 00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:49.039 arena capable of hosting major concerts and sporting events like 410 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:54.440 the NC two A Final four. According to Jay Kinkaid, 411 00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.839 the alliance is founder and executive director, It's very clear 412 00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:58.480 that the lack of a modern arena is a huge 413 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.200 drag on our counties ability to maxmeser economic growth. We're 414 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.920 losing out on attracting sporting events like March Madness, which 415 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.480 we haven't hosted here in Cincinnati in thirty three years. 416 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:11.240 I've seen Bruce Springsteen more in Pittsburgh than I've seen 417 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.960 him here at home. Kincaid, a veteran CINCINNTI political consultant 418 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:20.240 and a principal at Single Strength LLC, started working on 419 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.599 the campaign last September, when Hamilton County unveiled a one 420 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.799 point two billion dollar renovation concept for pay Course Stadium 421 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.720 that included a new headquarters building for Cincinnati Bengals and 422 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.839 luxury seating options for fans that could afford it. Released 423 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:35.759 the public records in January of the county and the 424 00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:38.599 team were exploring a roughly six hundred million dollar renovation 425 00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.039 with one hundred and twenty million contributions from the team 426 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.200 in the NFL. That's when talks broke down. Both of 427 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.240 those ideas will leave less public funding available for an 428 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.279 arena that would cost up to eight hundred million dollars 429 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:54.440 that according to established study published in November by the Cincinnai, 430 00:23:54.480 --> 00:24:00.319 USA Regional Chamber of Commerce. Bengals. When reached out for 431 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.799 comment to Climb comment for the story, Kincaid said, I 432 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:05.680 guess I understand the county has a number of needs, 433 00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:07.720 and I also understand that there are limited funds to 434 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:10.559 address those needs. But because there are those limited funds, 435 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.079 it makes even more imperative that we get this right. 436 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:14.960 We can't afford to make the same mistakes that the 437 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.599 commissioners made thirty years ago when they entered into what 438 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.480 is widely considered to be and is I might interject 439 00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:24.519 the worst stadium deal in the history of our country. 440 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.880 He declined to reveal who is funding the arena campaign. 441 00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.839 Because the Alliance is a nonprofit five on one see 442 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.000 four corporation, it isn't required to make that information available 443 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.480 to the public. He shared the results of polling funding 444 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:40.880 funded by those donors with the Cincinni Mayor AFTAB pro 445 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.599 of All Hamilton County Commissioners. Public Opinion Strategy surveyed four 446 00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:47.079 hundred Hamilton County residents in November and December for a 447 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:50.680 poll margin of era four to five percent. Kincaid said 448 00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.680 it convened two focus groups of twenty people said it's 449 00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.000 pretty clear the public understands we have as a community 450 00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.200 multiple needs and limited resources. They want the commissioners and 451 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.440 another elected official to make good decisions and maximize the impact. 452 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:06.839 Sixty three percent ranked a new arena as their top priority, 453 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:09.680 compared to thirteen percent for pay Course Stadium and nine 454 00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:13.079 percent for Great American Ballpark. Eighty eight percent said it 455 00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.880 was important to keep Cincinnati Bengals from leaving town. Thirty 456 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:18.200 six percent said taxpayer should not have to pay more 457 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.680 than one fourth of the net pay Course Stadium deal. 458 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:23.680 Ninety percent said they should be allowed to vote before 459 00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:26.680 the county allocates new money for stadium. Oh I like that. 460 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:30.079 Seventy eight percent they would support the creation of a 461 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:35.160 public exposition in sports authority to manage arena and stadium investments. 462 00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.680 Five thirty six fifty five k see the talk station, Nick, 463 00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:42.200 I'll be happy to take your call right after these. 464 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.119 Quick break fifty five KRC. 465 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:47.920 Is your New Year's resolution fifty five CARC the talk station. 466 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.240 Happy Thursday slash Friday Eve before I get this stack 467 00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.720 of stupid Nick's on the line calling in, you can 468 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:55.359 feel free to call us. Well, Nick, thanks for calling 469 00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.119 in the morning show. 470 00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.279 Hey, I went to a better middle school. 471 00:25:59.519 --> 00:25:59.720 It did. 472 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:02.799 Chuck Burkholtz was my Ohio history teacher. 473 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.000 O O kidding. He was my He is, like, absolutely 474 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:09.039 my favorite teacher. He taught government class and at Okills, 475 00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:11.079 and we had awesome discussions. 476 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:12.839 It wasn't econ? 477 00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:14.279 Was it econ? 478 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:16.720 Yes? It was econ? 479 00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:19.880 Huh, I don't remember it being called that, Nick. Honestly, 480 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.079 we're going back to nineteen eighty three, though, so that's 481 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.720 a lot of years and a lot I've lost a 482 00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:26.680 lot of brain cells since then. Well, I call it 483 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:27.680 a lot of beer though. 484 00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:32.200 But the point that I'm getting at is that stuff 485 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:35.880 that the wine was talking about. How my wife turned 486 00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.400 around and helped me with my vest in home econ 487 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.400 class because we shared the way of homeie, the way 488 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.480 that the classes worked back then. And I don't know 489 00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:48.319 how it worked at your bad school for middle school. Uh, 490 00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.400 but we had five weeks at home neck, five weeks 491 00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:51.799 of shop. 492 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.920 Yeah that's what I did. 493 00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:58.039 Okay, Well, I turned around and didn't get to help 494 00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:00.599 her with her woodwork project and her it's like crap 495 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:05.119 compared to mount. But I did beggar, and she did 496 00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.319 help me with my vest that we had to sew 497 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.920 because she was really good at sewing. 498 00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:13.000 I made a dog I med a h a big 499 00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:17.519 dog bed. It was basically a giant ball that was 500 00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:19.400 filled with you know, filling, and you know it's like 501 00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:21.680 you settled down it like a bean bag for a dog. 502 00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:24.920 So I remember that guy. You bring it back some memories, Nick. 503 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.599 We did. We did lamps. And the reason that Keither 504 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:32.319 wanted to turn around and be maybe a dry cleaner 505 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.039 is because he likes chemicals that make you enjoy fun. 506 00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:39.559 So like when we did the Schillac room, you had 507 00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.799 the exhaust fans with the burnouts. Really like turning off 508 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:45.680 the exhaust fans while they were doing their slaking projects. 509 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:46.279 It would work. 510 00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.759 Keifer hung out of there. 511 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:52.559 Okay, I guarantee mister Keeper would have enjoyed working in 512 00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:58.440 that labe. On top of that, though, what you're missing 513 00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:01.599 on one thing on the Fighter jets, if you look 514 00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:06.440 at the original Top Gun movie and then you look 515 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:09.440 at the second Top Gun movie that they change names, 516 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:13.680 the drones would have been far smarter on the second one. 517 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.559 The second one was a joke. It was just how 518 00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:20.599 to milk a dying cow out on the first one. 519 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:25.599 You really do need at times a pilot, but you 520 00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.480 really do need the stealth radar crap and the new 521 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:32.799 stuff that's going to happen that proves your point. That 522 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.680 doesn't prove your point, though, is that one single reaper. Okay, 523 00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:41.119 it can be fifteen to twenty million bucks. You can't 524 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.559 afford to do that. The way that it works is 525 00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.680 you turn around and you use little bitty drones in 526 00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:50.000 a swarm. Right, that's the way that you're got to 527 00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:51.799 do it. But you got to get the little bitty 528 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.759 drones in with the swarm with a smart pilot and 529 00:28:55.799 --> 00:29:00.440 a smart expensive ass to Yeah. 530 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.839 I don't profess to be a military strategist. I just 531 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:05.839 can observe that drones seem to be the way of 532 00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:09.880 the future, and that those drones swarms overwhelm missile defense 533 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.400 systems because there's so many of them, and they come 534 00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:15.279 at a much lesser cost than, for example, your reaper 535 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.359 missile at twenty million dollars. If you're right on that, 536 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.680 I don't know which could be shot down by a 537 00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:23.440 ground based missile defense system these days, so it's very complicated. 538 00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:25.359 I just use that F thirty five because it is 539 00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.200 so unbelievably expensive, and that the idea that we're moving 540 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:31.000 more and more towards drones that seems to be an 541 00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:33.880 area of government perhaps we could cut I don't know, 542 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.880 just throw it out there and welcome your types of input, 543 00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.559 because sometimes I'm wrong or sometimes I overstate the case. 544 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:44.000 That's why I love my listening audience. Man. I don't 545 00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:45.920 profess to be an expert. I'm a jack of all 546 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:48.880 trades and master of none, so I rely on my 547 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:51.920 very very intelligent listening audience to counter my points or 548 00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:54.960 at least point out why in some areas I am wrong, 549 00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:59.200 and I'm happy to be told and enlightened along those lines. Nick, 550 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.599 you cracked me up this morning, and also thank you 551 00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:04.079 for the fond memories of I forgot. I even took 552 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.240 that sewing class. Yeah, it was cooking sewing, and then 553 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:09.839 we had shop class that was it was divided up 554 00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:13.440 during the year, and Chuck Burkholtz did not teach either 555 00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:16.400 of those classes. Thought what I thought we recall was 556 00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.519 government class. But he was an outstanding teacher and very 557 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.000 influential in my life. Five forty five. If you five 558 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.480 KCD talk station foreign exchange, get your car into foreign 559 00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:29.400 exchange traditionally imported manufacturers from Asia or Europe. You're gonna 560 00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:32.240 benefit from the foreign exchange experience. If for no other reason, 561 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:33.799 then you'll save a lot of money. But I think 562 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:36.720 the experience back to if front start to finish will 563 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:38.759 be better. I know they're gonna treat you well. There's 564 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.279 such nice people there. You can talk to the mechanic 565 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:42.680 if you like to, and I'm a kind of guy 566 00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:46.519 that likes to talk to the mechanic. You know, just 567 00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:48.599 quite often can't do that at the import dealers. You're 568 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:53.440 stuck in the middle. With the service manager, but just 569 00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:55.599 one little extra perk. But you get an se certified 570 00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.839 Master technician working on your car, you will leave with 571 00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:59.960 a full warranty on parts and service. Nothing to worry 572 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:02.480 about there. And the point of Foreign Exchange is they 573 00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:04.759 don't charge you the outrageous price of the dealer. So 574 00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.359 save money, get your car fixed to your satisfaction in 575 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:10.319 a wonderful environment. That would be in my experience, the 576 00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:13.160 Westchester location of Foreign Exchange. Tyler's bill legs it off 577 00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:15.480 a seventy five go east, just a little diddy jog 578 00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:18.079 to Kinglin and take a right two street to take 579 00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:20.279 a right, and you'll find yourself right there.

A member of the state panel 641 00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:35.920 this is in Oregon, remember the state panel advising the 642 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:41.480 Director of Oregon's Health Authority on best practices and policies 643 00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:50.119 on underscore mental health, identifies as a turtle.

Quote during 650 00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:18.239 a December twentieth virtual meeting quote, Hi, everybody, it's JD. 651 00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:24.199 I use they, them and turtle for my pronouns. I'm 652 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:26.440 in the Springfield Eugene area and I get to be 653 00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:32.719 part of the Council Gender wiki website. The documents will listen. 654 00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:38.880 Non Binary Genders describes turtle gender sometimes called tortoise gender, 655 00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:43.760 as a quote zeno gender identity in which one feels 656 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:51.719 a gendered connection to turtle's close quote. No, there's no 657 00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.800 reference to Mitch McConnell in this article, Joe that you 658 00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:58.079 may think he looks like one, but he doesn't identify 659 00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:02.000 as one. At least give Mitch McConnell that much. This 660 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:05.800 this is a real thing, Fox News reporting on it. 661 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.639 I could go on, but I think that's enough. Let's 662 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:10.679 see what CJ's got. Welcome to the program. Thanks for 663 00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:11.559 calling in this morning. 664 00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:14.880 You know I did not call about that, but I 665 00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:19.280 enough for the days that you had the Klingon language 666 00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:23.039 job posting an organ and that seams thing compared to that. 667 00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:28.159 But the reason why I called it is that there's 668 00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:31.079 a lot of news out there, but the reality is probably. 669 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.639 The biggest news yesterday was that was on CNBC A 670 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:40.039 major bond buyer and seller sat there and said, there 671 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:42.960 is nobody out there buying US bonds and nobody wants 672 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.519 them because there's far too many of them and what 673 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:49.760 that could do to the bond market would be tremendous. 674 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:53.880 And it makes me come back to was DAGES never 675 00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:56.320 supposed to do what it is doing. It was just 676 00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:58.719 going to go in and take the email to quote 677 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:02.719 Barack Obama staff will and not take a hacks off 678 00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:06.320 to the government. But basically I question whether or not 679 00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.559 Donald Trump, on his first day in office, was told 680 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:12.639 the bomb market's ready to seams up, and if you're 681 00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:16.599 not going to start doing massive cuts now, we are 682 00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:19.559 going to be in serious trouble. I think that what 683 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.639 they are doing with those and just cutting things, they 684 00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:26.480 have made some mistakes. There's some people who probably shouldn't 685 00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:29.559 have been let go of that have been But at 686 00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.920 the same time, I don't know if they have time 687 00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:35.519 based off of what was said on CNBC yesterday. 688 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.960 Well, and that sort of echoes what Massey pointed out 689 00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:41.639 the other day that Republican oppressed Continuing Resolution keeps these 690 00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:45.280 spending levels at the Biden level spending, and that digs 691 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:49.199 us further into a hole. I mean, it's you're right. 692 00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.559 I am terribly worried that we're going to end up 693 00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:53.400 in this death spiral that we've been talking about forever 694 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:55.719 and that people have been warned about forever and ever, 695 00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:00.000 and that our elected officials continue to ignore. They're fiddling 696 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:04.360 while Rome is burning thanks to the call man. It's 697 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.320 it's it's a major concern out there, and you know, 698 00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:10.519 young people are aware of this. You wonder why young 699 00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:13.719 people have this sort of you know, give up mentality. 700 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:16.159 This is the reason they can see it for what 701 00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:18.679 it is. They're smarter than we all think. Five fifty six, 702 00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:22.960 five KRCD talk station, Big news and the environment and 703 00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:27.039 the cutting of the Biden administration in a Bamba administration's 704 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:31.360 decision to declare CO two a pollutant.

Apparently a passenger was shamed last December 739 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.480 and is now suing the airline along with fellow passengers 740 00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.079 were being shamed. Air India reminding passengers to stop flushing, 741 00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.679 closed down the aircraft lavatories, the story coming from the 742 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.400 stack of stupid. The other day, Southwest Airlines bags are 743 00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:14.360 no longer flying for free, and finally, airlines are looking 744 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:16.639 to reduce summer capacity, which may be a bad thing 745 00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:19.360 if you're planning on traveling this summer. That at eight thirty, 746 00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:21.079 feel free to call if you got a comment on 747 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:23.760 something five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred, 748 00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:26.239 eight hundred and eighty two to three Talk found five 749 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.199 fifty on AT and T phone and thanks to Mary 750 00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:32.480 for forwarding me the announcement. I guess it's legitimate. You know, 751 00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:34.719 I'm always questioning what I read on the internet. As 752 00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.159 Abraham Lincoln did say, you should put all full faith 753 00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:39.519 and everything that's on the internet. It's all real, said 754 00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:42.800 Abraham Lincoln. But apparently Hamilton County Prossy your college commy 755 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:47.719 pillach is uh? Has I guess got Sharon Coolidge from 756 00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:51.119 the Cincinnti Inquirer to be her communications director? 757 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:52.280 Huh? 758 00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:54.519 I guess is Sharon no longer going to be reporting 759 00:40:54.519 --> 00:41:00.599 for the Inquirer anyhow? Interest hasn't posted anything in she say? 760 00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:03.039 How about that? Oh, maybe there is some truth to that. 761 00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:09.719 Maybe a better paying job, Joe. Anyway, over to Lee Zelden, 762 00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:12.239 He's got some big announcements in terms of climate policy 763 00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:14.519 and in opposite one hundred and eighty degree shift from 764 00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:17.079 the Biden and Obama administrations, and thank god for it. 765 00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:19.840 Turned the editorial Bard of the Journal does a good 766 00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.079 job explaining this. He also wrote an open letter to 767 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:25.880 the public Zelden did yesterday that also is appearing at 768 00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:28.199 least among other places in the Journal. You can read 769 00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:32.480 it The Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Zelden yesterday proposed a 770 00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.960 host of well big rule changes. Most important, maybe has 771 00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.400 moved to reconsider the two thousand and nine so called 772 00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:45.559 endangerment finding. Get to the details on endangerment finding declaring 773 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:50.960 greenhouse gases a pollutant subject to agency regulation. They write, 774 00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.960 cue the panic and misinformation campaign amen on that no 775 00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:57.199 climate change believer m I, or at least in terms 776 00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:00.920 of us being responsible for it anyway. There As a refresher, 777 00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.679 the Supreme Court ruled in Mass versus EPA back in 778 00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:09.280 two thousand and seven that greenhouse gases qualify as pollutants 779 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:12.800 under the Clean Air Act. The EPA must regulate pollutants 780 00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:17.199 that can quote reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health 781 00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:20.519 or welfare. It's critical you point out to those words 782 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.519 endanger public health or welfare. No surprise the Obama administration 783 00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:26.199 in two thousand and nine determine the greenhouse gases do 784 00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:33.639 endanger public health or welfare. The Obama endangerment finding undergirds 785 00:42:33.639 --> 00:42:38.559 EPA's limits on plant foods, CO two emissions from power plants, autos, trucks, 786 00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:42.000 as well as methane fees on oil and gas companies. 787 00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:46.079 Among other rules. The Obama Biden administrations used the finding 788 00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:51.480 to bypass Congress important words to bypass Congress to advance 789 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:56.840 their anti fossil fuel agenda. Mister Trump's first term advisors 790 00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:00.719 considering considered withdrawing endangerment finding, but we're worried about being sued. 791 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:04.000 The Trump EPA merely revised the Obama CO two regulations 792 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:08.320 to make them less punitive. The Trump administration was sued anyway, 793 00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:11.440 then the Biden team reverse course made the Obama rules 794 00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:15.719 even more punitive. The climate lobby now says mister Zelden 795 00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:19.199 doesn't have legal authority to rescind the endangerment finding, despite 796 00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.559 the fact that it was a random finding by then EPA. 797 00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:25.920 But agencies re examined past decisions all the time. Mister 798 00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:29.000 Zelden can reconsider the EPA's s greenhouse gas findings in 799 00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:31.079 light of the new or in light of new or 800 00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:35.000 other evidence. Most of the science cited in the Obama 801 00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:39.559 endangerment finding eg. Climate change will harm US agriculture and 802 00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:44.559 increase the size and frequency of wildfires is debatable understatement. 803 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:48.159 The finding that US CO two emissions will directly harm 804 00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:54.760 Americans is even more tenuous. Unlike pollutants explicitly covered by 805 00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:59.039 the Clean Air Act. CO two emissions don't affect local 806 00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:03.400 air quality. They're in impact on global temperature is intermediated 807 00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:07.320 by other factors like cloud cover. Curbing CO two emissions 808 00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:10.000 in the United States will have scant impacts on Americans, 809 00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:14.639 especially since India and China emit with abandon. Just As 810 00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:19.119 antonin Scalia noted as much in Mass Versus EPA dissent quote, 811 00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.440 sadly it was a descent quote. Regulating the build up 812 00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:23.760 of CO two and other greenhouse gases in the upper 813 00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:29.400 reaches of the atmosphere is not akin to regulating the 814 00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:36.719 concentration of some substance that is polluting the air. Chief 815 00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.760 Justice Roberts and Justice Thomas and Samuel Alito also dissented. 816 00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:45.519 They were outnumbered. Withdrawing the endangerment finding could tee up 817 00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:48.159 a lawsuit that provides the High Court an opportunity to 818 00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:51.760 reconsider that Mass Versus EPA decision. And this is where 819 00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:59.639 it's important. Under its major questions doctrine, significant executive actions 820 00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:05.920 reques acquire express congressional authority, but Congress never authorized the 821 00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:10.000 EPA to regulate CO two emissions. Democrats have tried and 822 00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:13.880 failed several times when they had a majority, So there's 823 00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:18.480 no express authorization from Congress. And because it's non express authorization, 824 00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:22.079 it's a major question. Congress must do the work to 825 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.960 curb or ban CO two emissions if it would ever 826 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:28.679 do it. But they don't, and they haven't. Some energy 827 00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:31.079 companies warned the withdrawing the engagement finding could make them 828 00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:34.760 vulnerable to lawsuits by states and localities ledging their emissions 829 00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:38.360 cause a public nuisance by contributing to climate change. You know, 830 00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:41.920 but oil and gas producers already face dozens of lawsuits 831 00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:44.960 and state courts. In defense, they have cited the high 832 00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:49.639 courts AEP versus Connecticut ruling that the Clean Air Act 833 00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:55.280 preempts federal torts against oil and gas companies. Their supposed 834 00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:58.280 worry is that AEP will become a dead letter if 835 00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:04.480 the endangerment finding is revers But withdrawing the finding wouldn't 836 00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:08.639 change the court's fundamental holding that quote, it is primarily 837 00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:14.400 the office of Congress, not the federal courts, to prescribe 838 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:18.239 national policies in the area of special federal interests quote 839 00:46:18.280 --> 00:46:22.480 close quote like climate. This is all the more reason 840 00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:27.039 why the Obama Biden EPA power grab endangers the constitutional 841 00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:33.559 separation of powers by usurping Congress's authority. President Trump isn't 842 00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:38.119 shrinking from legal fights and scrapping EPA's endangerment finding is 843 00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:43.000 one well worth having. Amen, if you're gonna do something 844 00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:46.760 of that magnitude, Congress must act expressly and direct the 845 00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:49.280 EPA to do it. The EPA on its own does 846 00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:51.079 not have the power and authority because it was never 847 00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:53.440 established into law that they had this power and authority. 848 00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:57.000 And CO two is plant food for God's sake, and 849 00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:00.400 the idea that that could, as the greenhouse guys, it 850 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:03.960 can harm farming. The more CO two, the happier the 851 00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.920 plants are. And on that note, get a load of 852 00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:15.239 this backcrap insanity. This iss outright insanity, and it illustrates 853 00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:19.159 the point that CO two is good anyway. Instead of 854 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.519 holding a virtual meeting, thus eliminating the need for the 855 00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:27.320 November conference, this is the climate alarmist Planning Conference, the 856 00:47:27.360 --> 00:47:31.920 twenty twenty five UN Climate Change Conference. Apparently more than 857 00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:34.960 fifty thousand participants from around the world are going to 858 00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:37.760 fly into it when they could meet virtually. It's going 859 00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:42.960 to be held in a place called Belma, Brazil. Described 860 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:47.199 as a gateway to the Amazon River Amazon Rainforest. Remember 861 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:50.000 when Sting was out there raising money to preserve and 862 00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:54.639 protect the Amazon rainforest to ensure that they can easily 863 00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:57.159 get back and forth in and out of the city. 864 00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:01.840 They are building a four lane high highway cut through 865 00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:07.440 the protected Amazon forests, which absorbs one fourth of these 866 00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:12.280 supposedly problematic carbon dioxide absorbed by all the land on Earth. 867 00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:18.360 It's plant food, and they're cutting down the rainforest to 868 00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:23.360 build a highway. Cord to the BBC, eight miles of 869 00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:26.039 rainforest has already been cut down to make room for 870 00:48:26.159 --> 00:48:35.039 the partially built Avenida Liberdade Highway. Like reporting on Blaze 871 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:40.639 Joseph McKinnon credit where credits to former carbon capture systems 872 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:43.639 are being stacked high along the roadside. Yes, it's widely reported. 873 00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:45.440 All the logs that have been cut down to build 874 00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:51.199 a highway are laid along the roadside carbon capture systems. 875 00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:56.920 The American conservation site Manga Bay reported the construction on 876 00:48:56.920 --> 00:49:00.639 the highway through the eighteen twenty seven eight or Bellum 877 00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:07.000 Environmentally Protected Area began June of last year. State government's 878 00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:12.400 Infrastructure Secretary Outler Silver Area stated at the outset quote, 879 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:16.760 we are committed to advancing the works, respecting environmental legislation 880 00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:21.360 and the preservation of local fauna and flora. While cutting 881 00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:27.039 it down, State government pointed out that the high will 882 00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:30.639 be eliminated with solar powered lights and have bicycle lanes 883 00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.840 right next to the cars going by. State government reportedly 884 00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.400 been interested in clearing the eight point three mile stretch 885 00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:40.519 through the beleaguered rainforest to build a highway since at 886 00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:45.239 least twenty twelve, but environmental concerns got in the way. 887 00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:50.480 The decision to hold the COP thirty in Balem, Brazil 888 00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:54.360 provided the state with an excuse to cut down the trees. 889 00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:59.280 Brazil's President designate for the sum of a guy named 890 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:04.119 Andre r Ouran Correra do Lago note in a letter 891 00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:07.119 Monday to other parties at the United States the United 892 00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:10.320 Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that quote COP thirty 893 00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:13.800 will be the first to undeniably take place at the 894 00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:18.000 epicenter of the climate crisis, and the first to be 895 00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:21.800 hosted in the Amazon, one of the world's most vital ecosystems, 896 00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:25.360 now at risk of reaching an irreversible tipping point, according 897 00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:27.559 to scientists. Close quote Yeah, why don't you go ahead 898 00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:32.639 and build another highway in it. He noted further forests 899 00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:35.559 like the one being chopped down quote can buy us 900 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:39.039 time in climate action and a rapidly closing window of opportunity. 901 00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:42.840 If we reverse deforestation and recover what has been lost, 902 00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:46.239 we can unlock massive removals of greenous gases from the 903 00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:55.159 atmosphere while bringing ecosystems back to life. I mean, seriously, 904 00:50:57.559 --> 00:51:02.599 what is right with this picture. We've been hearing about 905 00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:05.559 deforestation on the Amazon since, I mean for decades now, 906 00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:09.800 and they're chopping it down so cars can drive through 907 00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:19.199 it for a climate change meeting. Eh. 908 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:20.440 I just. 909 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:26.440 I don't know. Well, the world burns our politicians fiddle 910 00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:29.079 fiddle away, fiddle away, six eighteen fifty five KR City 911 00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:31.719 Talk station. I see James online. Hang on, James. I 912 00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:33.719 want to mention Pressed Asianteriers because we got to get 913 00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:35.519 a kitchen and model. You want to work with John Ryan. 914 00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:38.599 He's a great guy. He is Pressedesionteriers and his prestigeon 915 00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:41.440 Tiers website.

This see 960 00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:44.639 what Mississippi James has got this morning. James, welcome back 961 00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:46.519 to the Morning Show and a very happy Friday eve 962 00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:47.039 to you, sir. 963 00:53:48.199 --> 00:53:52.599 Hey, good morning, doctor Brian. All Right, I got a 964 00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:54.760 point I want to make and it's going to lead 965 00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:57.840 to a question that I need to act. Okay, and 966 00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:02.360 it's gonna be in the category of education. Now, we 967 00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:06.199 know back in the day, and I don't want to 968 00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:08.599 seem like I'm rambling, but at one time it was 969 00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:13.199 illegal for my ancestors to read. Right done through the government, 970 00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:17.400 you could not be allowed to read. All right, Then 971 00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:21.559 that's shifted. It changed that everybody need to know how 972 00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:25.159 to read to be productive. Then we went to another 973 00:54:25.280 --> 00:54:30.639 phase more common called school the prison pipeline. And if 974 00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:33.920 a keen it cannot read effectively by the third grade, 975 00:54:34.079 --> 00:54:37.280 he's targeted for prison. Now, I don't know whether that's 976 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.719 a straight line or whether that's just you know, zig zag. 977 00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:46.119 All right, you get up to today's Department of Education. Yes, 978 00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:48.480 we know it's top hav it. We know most of 979 00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:52.800 the money go towards the administration and bureaucracy, and the 980 00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:56.199 kids are losing out on the end. Also because a 981 00:54:56.239 --> 00:54:59.719 lot of time the parents didn't read a lot of time, 982 00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:04.119 they come out of post traumatic stress syndrome. So it's 983 00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:05.760 a lot of moving parts there. 984 00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:06.360 Oh yeah. 985 00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:09.840 Now the question I'm going to out. 986 00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:13.119 Of all the money that's being saved our CUTNY Department 987 00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:19.199 of Education and other program what becomes of that saves money. 988 00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:23.320 Well, I suppose that remains to be seen. The head 989 00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:26.159 of the Partner of Education now is suggesting that'll be 990 00:55:26.199 --> 00:55:29.599 money that could be available to schools, and that would 991 00:55:29.639 --> 00:55:32.159 mean more resources that are going to the states in 992 00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:34.599 the form of these federal grants that won't be spent 993 00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:38.239 on administration of bureaucracy. So that will be a positive thing, 994 00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:41.639 presumably if you are of the mind that money translates 995 00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:45.239 to positive results for the children. But in these modern 996 00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:47.360 times that does not hold true because if you look 997 00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:49.440 out at all the money on a per pupil basis 998 00:55:49.440 --> 00:55:52.880 that goes into cities like in the Chicago schools districts 999 00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:56.000 and in Baltimore and other failing school districts, they have, 1000 00:55:56.159 --> 00:55:59.719 you know, twenty thousand plus per pupil. Yet they're reading 1001 00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:02.599 schools are in these single digits, which means money does 1002 00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:06.519 not translate into education. So what we need is a 1003 00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:10.079 different path forward in teaching children how to read that 1004 00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:12.960 actually works, like going back to phonics, for example, which 1005 00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:14.719 is something we're doing here in the state of Ohio 1006 00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:18.199 that does not require more money. It just requires rethinking 1007 00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:21.440 education that will provide a benefit for the student as 1008 00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:23.360 opposed to whatever the hell it is they're trying to 1009 00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:29.119 teach now, which obviously has a isn't isn't working clearly fundamentally. 1010 00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:33.159 So that's that's my response to the question, James, And 1011 00:56:33.199 --> 00:56:35.159 that's about as good as I can do. But I 1012 00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:38.639 think quite clearly money does not mean a good education. 1013 00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:44.519 We need outcome based research and data and change and 1014 00:56:44.559 --> 00:56:46.800 a change in the methodology that's going on right now, 1015 00:56:46.840 --> 00:56:49.280 moving away from what's going on right now. That's my take, 1016 00:56:49.519 --> 00:56:51.920 James Love Hearing from your Brother six twenty six, fifty 1017 00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:54.960 five KCD talk station Emery. Federal Credit Union.

I think what 1040 00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:57.159 Donald Trump needs to do is is really follow through 1041 00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:00.840 on his push for energy dominance, of making it America 1042 00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:03.599 the most energy rich country on the face of the Earth. 1043 00:58:03.960 --> 00:58:05.480 And then as soon as we do that, we can 1044 00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:09.239 sell all of that extra natural gas, oil coal to 1045 00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:14.159 our European allies and become the main source of their energy, 1046 00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:17.559 which would be safer for them if for the national 1047 00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:20.679 security reasons number one, and it would be a financial 1048 00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:24.440 boom for the American people and would create untold numbers 1049 00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:28.039 and hundreds of thousands of high paying career jobs for Americans. 1050 00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:33.599 Check out the Sean Hannity radio show later today right here. 1051 00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:38.960 Look, this country was founded on freedom.

Then Donovan one 1218 01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:20.719 on the poll following Mike Dwaine State of this date, 1219 01:07:20.760 --> 01:07:24.360 address a couple government fraud, waste and abuse areas to 1220 01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:28.400 just dive on into real quick here. You know again 1221 01:07:28.800 --> 01:07:31.039 it's these are low hanging fruit items, but they do 1222 01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:33.559 all at a Department of Government efficiency. We turn to 1223 01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:39.599 them first before we get to the the GAO Government 1224 01:07:39.639 --> 01:07:42.719 Accountability Office independent of DOGE. Nothing no connection to that 1225 01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:45.199 one GAO has been around a long time anyway. Start 1226 01:07:45.199 --> 01:07:49.119 with DOGE reviewing grants from the National Institutes of Health. 1227 01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:56.400 Now it's yesterday, among the crazy grants that they revealed 1228 01:07:57.639 --> 01:08:00.400 a six and twenty thousand dollars grant four quote and 1229 01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:12.199 LGB plus inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys. Now, 1230 01:08:12.239 --> 01:08:18.520 contrast that from a pregnancy prevention program for girls. And 1231 01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:22.159 if you are a believer in biological reality and science, 1232 01:08:22.159 --> 01:08:24.760 you'll understand that there is no difference between those programs. 1233 01:08:26.359 --> 01:08:29.479 I mean, you know, the parts work in the same way. 1234 01:08:29.560 --> 01:08:32.600 Pregnancy is accomplished in the exact same way, whether you 1235 01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:35.880 consider yourself a boy or you live your life as 1236 01:08:35.920 --> 01:08:40.640 you were born as a girl. And yet apparently six 1237 01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:44.720 hundred and twenty thousand dollars was needed. It's a grant, right, 1238 01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:51.479 Someone who has a friend in Washington asked for this 1239 01:08:51.640 --> 01:08:55.119 money and received it. It's like what goes on in 1240 01:08:55.119 --> 01:08:57.479 the city of Cincinnati. Listen to Todd zenz Er from 1241 01:08:57.479 --> 01:08:59.720 the interview I had with them, or from his time 1242 01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:02.800 in this studio earlier this week, like the skateboard park, 1243 01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:06.680 for example, Health Institute, which is part of the Department 1244 01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:08.960 of Health and Human Services was also spending about seven 1245 01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:14.159 hundred thousand dollars to study cannabis use in quote sexual minority, 1246 01:09:14.359 --> 01:09:21.800 gender diverse individuals close quote, Pause and ask yourself, does 1247 01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:24.720 anybody really truly believe much in the same way in 1248 01:09:24.760 --> 01:09:29.119 my comments about the pregnancy program that merely because you 1249 01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:32.279 identify as a person of a different sex, that your 1250 01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:34.720 cannabis use will be different than a cannabis use of 1251 01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:42.279 a person who does not so identify, that your sexuality 1252 01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:54.359 has a change in how cannabis impacts you. Seven hundred 1253 01:09:54.359 --> 01:09:57.359 and forty thousand dollars allocated for examining quote a social 1254 01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:01.279 network's close quote among unquote Black and Latina sexual minority 1255 01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:09.640 men in New Jersey. You know, does this sound like 1256 01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:15.319 Babylon b stuff? Fifty thousand dollars on assessing quote sexual 1257 01:10:15.359 --> 01:10:21.079 health close quote among unquote LGBTQ plus LATINX youth in 1258 01:10:21.159 --> 01:10:29.680 an agricultural community. And seventy five thousand dollars on researching 1259 01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:37.399 structural racism. No elaboration on that one. You know, it's 1260 01:10:37.439 --> 01:10:40.239 fun pointing these things out because as we are in 1261 01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:45.239 this death spiral, these are great illustrations of how we 1262 01:10:45.279 --> 01:10:49.319 got there. And moving over to the general county, a 1263 01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:53.640 Government Accountability Office GAO, multiple federal agencies they determine the 1264 01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:58.520 GAO not DOJ wasted one hundred and sixty two billion 1265 01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:03.640 of your hard earned dollars in government funds making improper 1266 01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:07.560 payments during fiscal year twenty twenty four one fiscal year 1267 01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:11.880 one hundred and sixty two billion dollars the support from 1268 01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.720 the US Government Accountability Office money spent by sixteen agencies 1269 01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:18.960 across sixty eight programs. This report came out in on 1270 01:11:19.039 --> 01:11:23.000 March eleventh. JO said improper payments those that shouldn't have 1271 01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:25.079 been made or were made in the incorrect amount, have 1272 01:11:25.159 --> 01:11:28.079 been a government wide issue for more than twenty years. 1273 01:11:28.800 --> 01:11:32.119 I'm going back to good practices in regular businesses. This 1274 01:11:32.199 --> 01:11:34.479 is something that should have been eradicated a long time ago. 1275 01:11:35.279 --> 01:11:38.560 Easy to figure this out, the GAO did it. Five 1276 01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:41.119 government programs accounted for roughly seventy five percent of the 1277 01:11:41.159 --> 01:11:44.439 improper spending, start with Medicare topped the list fifty four 1278 01:11:44.479 --> 01:11:48.199 point three billion dollars in one fiscal year alone, followed 1279 01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:51.560 by Medicaid, the Earned Income Tax Credit SNAP Program, and 1280 01:11:51.720 --> 01:11:58.079 Restaurant Revitalization Fund. What the Hell's that report said? Eighteen 1281 01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:01.399 federal programs reported improper payment rate estimates of at least 1282 01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:05.199 ten percent, including six program programs whose rates range from 1283 01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:11.680 over twenty five percent to forty five percent. Out of 1284 01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:15.079 the one hundred and sixty two billion dollars in improper payments, 1285 01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:18.199 one hundred and thirty five billion, eighty four percent were 1286 01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:30.319 for over payments. God, and we put our trust in government. 1287 01:12:30.359 --> 01:12:32.039 We put our faith in government. You want you give 1288 01:12:32.039 --> 01:12:35.520 the decisions in your life be made by government. They 1289 01:12:35.600 --> 01:12:39.279 don't care a wit about your taxpayer dollars. They don't 1290 01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:43.840 care that we're on a sinking ship. They don't care 1291 01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:46.279 that the interest payment on what they overspent already is 1292 01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:49.439 a trillion dollars this year. Get your head around that 1293 01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:53.680 one one thousand stacks of one billion dollars, which, of 1294 01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:56.439 course each billion dollars is one thousand stacks of one 1295 01:12:56.479 --> 01:13:00.319 million dollars. You could fill pay course stadium with the 1296 01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:03.159 money that they waste every year. Or that our debt 1297 01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:07.319 service alone, which springs from well overspending, and a whole 1298 01:13:07.319 --> 01:13:09.319 bunch of programs in the waste and fraud and abuse 1299 01:13:09.319 --> 01:13:12.039 that goes on in federal government. Why do we continue 1300 01:13:12.119 --> 01:13:20.840 year after year to well I guess allow this to happen. 1301 01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:22.520 It is easy to say, but you know, they're in 1302 01:13:22.520 --> 01:13:24.880 a position where they could stop this. It has to 1303 01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:27.239 be identified first, and it's easy to identify. What are 1304 01:13:27.239 --> 01:13:29.880 the Social Security Administration people have been doing all these years. 1305 01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:32.720 Dads comes in in like five minutes, determine we've got 1306 01:13:32.760 --> 01:13:35.000 like one hundred and seventy five year old people still 1307 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:37.239 on the Act of Social Security ranks, and you talk 1308 01:13:37.279 --> 01:13:39.920 about getting rid of those, and you hear people criticize online, 1309 01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:42.680 Oh my god, they're coming after my social Security. No 1310 01:13:42.720 --> 01:13:52.039 they're not. They're trying to save it for you. You know. 1311 01:13:52.319 --> 01:13:54.359 I don't know if this that kind of response from 1312 01:13:54.399 --> 01:13:59.039 the detractors springs from Trump derangement syndrome, or if they 1313 01:13:59.039 --> 01:14:01.840 have a vested interest in the fraud and the overpayments 1314 01:14:01.840 --> 01:14:08.720 that are going out into the world. I don't know. 1315 01:14:09.039 --> 01:14:13.880 I'm befuddled by that.

I'll make it real 1371 01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:56.319 quick today. I got a couple comments. So it has 1372 01:16:56.399 --> 01:17:01.600 to do with smoking mirrors. Smoking mirrors within the corporation 1373 01:17:01.760 --> 01:17:05.399 limits of Cincinnati. They always like to use the words 1374 01:17:05.720 --> 01:17:11.159 greater metropolitan area. These are some facts here. People that 1375 01:17:11.359 --> 01:17:17.199 live within the corporation limits at Cincinnati period and work there. 1376 01:17:17.880 --> 01:17:21.880 A family of three, The average incomes only twenty four 1377 01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:24.800 thousand dollars. They are one hundred and thirty percent below 1378 01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:27.800 the poverty range. That's why you keep hearing all the 1379 01:17:27.880 --> 01:17:32.039 time about jobs. They don't go within the corporation limits. 1380 01:17:32.520 --> 01:17:35.800 There's not a family that makes good money, that lives 1381 01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:40.920 within the corporation limit. Those are facts. Hopefully we've got 1382 01:17:40.920 --> 01:17:45.520 a conservative individual coming up that's going to run for mayre. 1383 01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:49.520 You hear the smoking mirrors about the federal government. How 1384 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:55.239 about just Cincinnati, not the surrounding areas just within the 1385 01:17:55.279 --> 01:17:56.840 corporation limits. 1386 01:17:57.760 --> 01:18:01.760 Well, I mean, no, down, I understand, but that's one 1387 01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:03.239 of the I mean, one of the claims that you 1388 01:18:03.319 --> 01:18:06.479 hear from the elected officials in the city of Cincinnati 1389 01:18:06.520 --> 01:18:09.640 is they're trying to create areas that will draw people 1390 01:18:09.720 --> 01:18:12.119 who are making money bringing people. That's what with the 1391 01:18:12.159 --> 01:18:14.960 idea of of of over the winerydevelopment to get urban 1392 01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:17.439 hipsters that have a salary to move there so they 1393 01:18:17.520 --> 01:18:21.840 can increase the tax base. You know, it's it's an 1394 01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:24.359 uphill challenge given the situation they have in there, if 1395 01:18:24.399 --> 01:18:28.560 you know, call crumbling infrastructure following tax base. It just 1396 01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:30.800 seems like, you know, speaking of death spiral, that that 1397 01:18:30.880 --> 01:18:33.520 kind of thing seems to be going on. But I 1398 01:18:33.520 --> 01:18:35.720 don't know if building a skateboard park is going to 1399 01:18:35.720 --> 01:18:38.199 solve the problem. I think a problem would be greater 1400 01:18:38.279 --> 01:18:40.479 solved if they just start fixing the road, so it 1401 01:18:40.520 --> 01:18:42.520 makes it, you know, more appealing for folks to even 1402 01:18:42.680 --> 01:18:46.000 consider the idea of moving into the city. But all 1403 01:18:46.039 --> 01:18:47.920 I hear, at least for my listeners, are people that 1404 01:18:47.960 --> 01:18:48.680 want to move out. 1405 01:18:49.960 --> 01:18:52.199 I've got one thing for you. The people that you 1406 01:18:52.319 --> 01:18:56.720 work with, the great one, the big one, all the areas, 1407 01:18:56.720 --> 01:18:59.560 stations and everything that are part of the iHeartMedia. How 1408 01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:02.960 many individuals you know that work with Igheart Media that 1409 01:19:03.079 --> 01:19:05.840 live within the corporation then of Cincinnati. 1410 01:19:06.199 --> 01:19:09.399 Well, I do not profess to know anything about where 1411 01:19:09.439 --> 01:19:12.840 those folks live, but I'm willing to guess, which is 1412 01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:14.720 what I think you're expecting me to say, that they 1413 01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:17.520 don't live in the city of Cincinnati. There may be 1414 01:19:17.560 --> 01:19:21.079 exceptions to that, but I think I'm pretty sure I 1415 01:19:21.119 --> 01:19:24.039 know which neighborhood Well Cunningham lives in, and I know 1416 01:19:24.079 --> 01:19:27.520 which neighborhood McConnell lives in, and they don't live in 1417 01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:29.199 the city of Cincinnati. 1418 01:19:29.800 --> 01:19:33.079 Probably haven't got two skateboards for you, Joe, though, when 1419 01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:33.920 they build. 1420 01:19:33.680 --> 01:19:38.039 The park, I'll drop a ball, don't sut up. I 1421 01:19:38.119 --> 01:19:40.199 know you, Bobby.

Anyway, 1449 01:21:11.479 --> 01:21:12.720 how's it going before we get into some of the 1450 01:21:12.760 --> 01:21:14.600 specific topics this morning, Corey. 1451 01:21:16.039 --> 01:21:16.880 It's going great. 1452 01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:19.279 And you know I've told people that, you know, when 1453 01:21:19.319 --> 01:21:21.399 we first got into this, I thought I was just 1454 01:21:21.479 --> 01:21:23.399 going to the slaughterhouse and it was just going to 1455 01:21:23.479 --> 01:21:24.720 be me and about. 1456 01:21:24.840 --> 01:21:26.920 Every day I get a reason. 1457 01:21:26.640 --> 01:21:29.960 To get more encourage on this campaign trail and really 1458 01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:32.920 just get more motivated to know that there's a chance 1459 01:21:32.960 --> 01:21:33.680 to get this thing. 1460 01:21:34.439 --> 01:21:36.840 Well, that's wonderful to hear. And you're getting support from 1461 01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:39.239 the Hamilton County Republican Party, I hope. 1462 01:21:40.800 --> 01:21:43.840 Yeah, Yeah, the Chairman Russell and Hampson County have been 1463 01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:47.239 very helpful and very time throughout the whole process, especially 1464 01:21:47.239 --> 01:21:50.520 for somebody that has really never gone into a race 1465 01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:53.840 like this, and so I'm very appreciative of Well. 1466 01:21:53.720 --> 01:21:57.439 We live in rather unusual times, and of course obviously 1467 01:21:57.439 --> 01:22:00.359 the policies and platforms of the Democrat Party who run 1468 01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:02.479 the city of Cincinnata and now for Cincinnati now for 1469 01:22:02.479 --> 01:22:05.479 the last several decades, don't seem to really care about 1470 01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:07.920 stuff they've already have that's on their plate to take 1471 01:22:07.960 --> 01:22:11.039 care of roads and infrastructure. And I know a lot 1472 01:22:11.079 --> 01:22:12.840 of people are really upset about that, and that seems 1473 01:22:12.880 --> 01:22:14.960 to me one thing if we focused on would make 1474 01:22:14.960 --> 01:22:19.119 the city a more attractive magnet for people who otherwise 1475 01:22:19.119 --> 01:22:21.760 wouldn't consider moving into the city. I mean, we got 1476 01:22:21.760 --> 01:22:23.720 some problems on our hands in the city, Corey. 1477 01:22:24.880 --> 01:22:27.039 No, absolutely, And if you look at our points on 1478 01:22:27.079 --> 01:22:30.880 our website in the whenever we were first getting the 1479 01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:34.239 signatures for our petition, I was really honing in on 1480 01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:36.920 where the key policies that we need to focus on 1481 01:22:37.399 --> 01:22:40.760 and really just don't get distracted by anything. And as 1482 01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:42.279 I looked at it, number one. 1483 01:22:42.159 --> 01:22:43.079 Is money management. 1484 01:22:43.319 --> 01:22:45.760 Money management, where's the money going? Are you going to 1485 01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:49.680 prioritize the budget to where it benefits the residents of Cincinnati? 1486 01:22:49.960 --> 01:22:52.439 And I don't think there's a greater example where. 1487 01:22:52.159 --> 01:22:55.399 That mismanagement of funds is than in our infrastructure and 1488 01:22:55.439 --> 01:22:56.199 in our roads. 1489 01:22:56.479 --> 01:22:58.479 Indeed, I couldn't agree with you more on that, and 1490 01:22:58.720 --> 01:23:01.159 let's just pivot over to an allocation of money that 1491 01:23:01.239 --> 01:23:03.720 was just announced the other day for whatever I guess, 1492 01:23:03.760 --> 01:23:08.199 they quote unquote found like one point three million dollars. 1493 01:23:08.199 --> 01:23:09.840 And so there were a bunch of hands reaching out 1494 01:23:09.840 --> 01:23:11.319 to try to get into the cookie guard, a lot 1495 01:23:11.399 --> 01:23:14.760 of non governmental organizations who typically get some funding as 1496 01:23:14.800 --> 01:23:17.880 directed by the mayor and council. They didn't get it. 1497 01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:19.479 But what. 1498 01:23:21.119 --> 01:23:23.600 Did get three hundred thousand dollars anyway, went for a 1499 01:23:23.680 --> 01:23:26.039 skate park, and then the rest of it went for 1500 01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:29.680 the acquisition of two more dump trucks to help deal 1501 01:23:29.720 --> 01:23:33.880 with the behind the eight ball equipment that is used 1502 01:23:33.880 --> 01:23:36.600 for snow removal. We found ourselves in a precarious position 1503 01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:39.520 with the last snowfall, and so we learned that twenty 1504 01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:42.680 percent of the equipment was inoperable. So buying two dump 1505 01:23:42.720 --> 01:23:45.720 trucks and three hundred thousand for a skate park. Your 1506 01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:47.920 comments and reflections on the skate park, what would you 1507 01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:48.520 have done. 1508 01:23:50.479 --> 01:23:50.720 Well? 1509 01:23:50.760 --> 01:23:53.439 I use the example of in your own personal funds, right, 1510 01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:55.680 because a lot of people are asking for things like 1511 01:23:55.920 --> 01:23:58.119 not just a skate park, but you are we going 1512 01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:00.000 to have a new arena in the city. 1513 01:24:00.039 --> 01:24:00.800 Are we going to do this? 1514 01:24:00.920 --> 01:24:01.840 Are we going to do that? 1515 01:24:02.279 --> 01:24:05.560 And the problem is is that we have a personal 1516 01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:07.840 budget that is completely out of control. We have no 1517 01:24:07.960 --> 01:24:10.239 clue where we are necessarily and if we do that, 1518 01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:13.039 we're not using it properly. So it's we have to 1519 01:24:13.079 --> 01:24:15.399 have a good foundation in our budget of knowing what 1520 01:24:15.520 --> 01:24:16.359 takes priority. 1521 01:24:16.720 --> 01:24:17.600 The fact that you're. 1522 01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:20.000 Buying dumb trucks and stuff just shows me that this 1523 01:24:20.119 --> 01:24:26.039 administration and the council is really being reactionary instead of proactive. 1524 01:24:26.439 --> 01:24:29.039 And I think that's the key thing with your finances 1525 01:24:29.199 --> 01:24:31.680 is that you have to be proactive on those just 1526 01:24:31.880 --> 01:24:36.039 practical issues, you know, the snow removal, the dumb trucks, 1527 01:24:36.079 --> 01:24:39.840 the public services, the potholes. We shouldn't be patching up 1528 01:24:39.920 --> 01:24:43.840 potholes at a rapid pace right now because that's reactionary. 1529 01:24:43.920 --> 01:24:47.800 These things should have been prevented months or years ago. 1530 01:24:48.479 --> 01:24:48.800 Well. 1531 01:24:48.880 --> 01:24:52.359 And my understanding is there an obligation to take care 1532 01:24:52.439 --> 01:24:55.800 of a certain number of road miles every year, and 1533 01:24:55.840 --> 01:24:58.479 that they have been behind in doing that for years 1534 01:24:58.479 --> 01:25:00.880 and years and years, which of course pounds of problem 1535 01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:05.000 and causes this reactionary allocation resources. 1536 01:25:06.359 --> 01:25:09.439 No, absolutely, and that's the thing I kept feeling is 1537 01:25:09.439 --> 01:25:12.960 that we have to switch from being reactionary to proactive 1538 01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:13.600 on things. 1539 01:25:13.840 --> 01:25:15.640 We have to be able to plan ahead, we have 1540 01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:16.560 to be able to see. 1541 01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:19.119 The future, and it's actually very hard to do that 1542 01:25:19.560 --> 01:25:23.920 when you're being distracted by other things that shouldn't take precedent. 1543 01:25:24.079 --> 01:25:27.800 I'm not saying that a skate park wouldn't be beneficial 1544 01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:30.800 to that certain aspect of that community. I'm saying it 1545 01:25:30.800 --> 01:25:34.119 doesn't make sense when you see the rest of these 1546 01:25:34.199 --> 01:25:36.239 areas and shambles that. 1547 01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:39.159 See And that's where I go. Don't build bright and 1548 01:25:39.199 --> 01:25:42.239 shiny new objects and get your photo ops in when 1549 01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:44.039 you have things around you that are supposed to be 1550 01:25:44.079 --> 01:25:46.279 taken care of that you've ignored for a long time, 1551 01:25:46.600 --> 01:25:50.760 like for example, being proactive and forward thinking. Did they 1552 01:25:50.840 --> 01:25:53.560 do a budget analysis to find out how much upkeep 1553 01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:56.159 and maintenance that skate park is going to require? Because 1554 01:25:56.199 --> 01:25:59.479 you know certain elements that are going to deteriorate. What's 1555 01:25:59.479 --> 01:26:02.319 it going to call going forward? This isn't just a static, 1556 01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:05.560 one time cost when you build something like that, it 1557 01:26:05.640 --> 01:26:08.439 comes with future needs and obligations. 1558 01:26:09.560 --> 01:26:09.760 Yeah. 1559 01:26:09.920 --> 01:26:12.840 Absolutely, And that's with a lot of these projects. I 1560 01:26:12.840 --> 01:26:15.600 think a lot of times when these projects like you said, 1561 01:26:15.600 --> 01:26:19.439 that provide photo ops, or they just look good on paper, 1562 01:26:19.720 --> 01:26:22.000 they don't realize the maintenance that's going to take, or 1563 01:26:22.000 --> 01:26:24.880 you're just not thinking ahead, and then that just puts 1564 01:26:24.880 --> 01:26:27.800 you further further in the whole of what you really 1565 01:26:27.800 --> 01:26:28.600 need to focus on. 1566 01:26:29.119 --> 01:26:34.159 Indeed, and I let's see here, well the one of 1567 01:26:34.159 --> 01:26:36.560 the other elements of your platform. And I had to 1568 01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:39.159 bring this up because I ran into some rather frightening 1569 01:26:39.239 --> 01:26:41.680 statistics that I had in front of me for this 1570 01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:46.439 morning's morning show. You talk about increased safety as one 1571 01:26:46.439 --> 01:26:49.960 of your platforms policy platform number five. Safety the city residents. 1572 01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:55.039 It's extraordinarily important. And as I look at these statistics 1573 01:26:55.039 --> 01:26:59.680 and this is it's kind of like a buried reality. 1574 01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:04.039 I haven't read it, but we rank in terms of 1575 01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:07.960 homicides per capita, we are number twelve in the country. 1576 01:27:13.560 --> 01:27:16.760 Your reaction, Cory, No. 1577 01:27:17.079 --> 01:27:19.640 I think that what was funny is that we had 1578 01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:23.720 our kickoff of last week or two weeks ago actually, 1579 01:27:23.800 --> 01:27:26.439 and whenever we had our kickoff, that same week, their 1580 01:27:26.520 --> 01:27:29.039 aftab had his kickoff, and they were running off of 1581 01:27:29.079 --> 01:27:33.399 a platform of lower crime and things that had benefited 1582 01:27:33.600 --> 01:27:36.600 the community. And I'm sitting there like Bro. You know, 1583 01:27:36.920 --> 01:27:40.159 if you're gonna ping is is that people that live 1584 01:27:40.319 --> 01:27:43.479 in the city, people that are experiencing these crime rates 1585 01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:46.359 and these gunshots every night, and these things that are happening, 1586 01:27:46.960 --> 01:27:49.920 they're not going to look at satistic or the people 1587 01:27:49.920 --> 01:27:54.039 are what a certain administration wants to say this happening. 1588 01:27:54.079 --> 01:27:56.159 They're going to see it for what it actually is. 1589 01:27:57.039 --> 01:27:59.800 And so it's very frustrating when you see the crime 1590 01:27:59.840 --> 01:28:02.800 rate it's up in certain areas, when you see this happening. 1591 01:28:03.239 --> 01:28:06.600 And so when we talk about increased safety, we're talking 1592 01:28:06.640 --> 01:28:12.079 about getting behind the local law enforcement, getting behind the firefighters, 1593 01:28:12.479 --> 01:28:17.159 not supplementing their key roles with programs like three to 1594 01:28:17.199 --> 01:28:22.760 one one and other comprehensive violence reduction agencies or whatever 1595 01:28:22.800 --> 01:28:26.399 that might be. We've got to back what works, which 1596 01:28:26.520 --> 01:28:30.760 is our police department. Now, I've talked with police department, 1597 01:28:30.880 --> 01:28:34.840 and I've talked with police officers that's been in for 1598 01:28:34.960 --> 01:28:39.319 over a decade in the CPD, and what they say 1599 01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:43.359 is that we have to find that balance between being 1600 01:28:43.640 --> 01:28:49.000 that protecting and that force of law in the city, 1601 01:28:49.039 --> 01:28:51.560 but also they have to be involved in the community. 1602 01:28:51.600 --> 01:28:54.520 You have to have that community's trust. It's very hard 1603 01:28:54.520 --> 01:28:57.079 to have the trust of the community when there's another 1604 01:28:57.159 --> 01:29:01.079 agency that's like three to one one one that's basically 1605 01:29:01.079 --> 01:29:04.760 answering other calls. We need to fully back the police 1606 01:29:04.760 --> 01:29:08.000 department and our fire department in ways that really hasn't 1607 01:29:08.039 --> 01:29:08.680 been seen in. 1608 01:29:08.640 --> 01:29:11.960 The past, and be outspoken in support of the City 1609 01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:15.359 of Sin Saints Police department are public. Elected officials, council 1610 01:29:15.359 --> 01:29:18.079 members and the mayor never rise to the challenge of 1611 01:29:18.119 --> 01:29:20.840 saying out loud that we need to support the police, 1612 01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:22.880 need to talk about them in a positive way. We 1613 01:29:22.880 --> 01:29:25.479 need to keep them in the neighborhoods, and again, like 1614 01:29:25.560 --> 01:29:28.239 you said, get the police in the neighborhoods and establish 1615 01:29:28.359 --> 01:29:31.479 a relationship that proves that they are there to protect 1616 01:29:31.520 --> 01:29:35.439 the citizenry, not this evil, racist force that so many 1617 01:29:35.479 --> 01:29:40.000 people try to characterize them as, which by not saying anything, 1618 01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:43.960 suggests that the elected officials share that belief, and I 1619 01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:46.439 think many of them may very well do it. Let's pause, 1620 01:29:46.640 --> 01:29:48.680 We'll bring Corey back, talk about whether or not there's 1621 01:29:48.680 --> 01:29:50.640 going to be a debate and his fundraiser that's coming 1622 01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:52.199 up on April eighth, and maybe some of his other 1623 01:29:52.279 --> 01:29:57.560 ideas again. Corybowman dot com and Award for affordable imaging 1624 01:29:57.600 --> 01:30:00.600 services because you know imaging can be affordable within the 1625 01:30:00.640 --> 01:30:02.880 ability of you to be able to pay for an image. 1626 01:30:03.000 --> 01:30:05.319 Hospital imaging departments not the place to go if you 1627 01:30:05.359 --> 01:30:09.439 want affordability, if you want bells and whistles and sculptures 1628 01:30:09.439 --> 01:30:13.640 and water features and massive overhead. That's why hospital imaging 1629 01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:16.119 departments is charged so much.

And fundraiser coming up, speaking of 1689 01:33:05.840 --> 01:33:10.479 campaign contributions and donations. Fundraiser I understands taking place April eighth. 1690 01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:12.000 What are the details on that one, Corey. 1691 01:33:13.319 --> 01:33:17.199 Yeah, so we've just announced three events. It'll be on 1692 01:33:17.239 --> 01:33:21.399 our website by today. But specifically, what you're talking about 1693 01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:23.840 is we're at Tuesday, April eighth. We're going to be 1694 01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:26.560 a Price Hill Chili and that's going to be from 1695 01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:30.359 five to seven pm and it's all all is welcome 1696 01:33:30.479 --> 01:33:34.199 and Brian, I would like to extend a personal invitation 1697 01:33:34.319 --> 01:33:36.199 to you if you could be there as well, that 1698 01:33:36.239 --> 01:33:36.960 would be amazing. 1699 01:33:37.079 --> 01:33:39.119 If my schedule laws for it, I will be happy 1700 01:33:39.159 --> 01:33:42.359 to be there. Love Price Heal Chili, really excellent location 1701 01:33:42.479 --> 01:33:44.479 in venue. Usually a lot of people show up for those. 1702 01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:49.279 I presume west Side Jim Keefer will be there. Yeah, yeah, 1703 01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:54.479 I think he's got an apartment there somewhere. Edie. Anyhow 1704 01:33:55.239 --> 01:33:59.039 your your your proposal regarding practical housing. I know there's 1705 01:33:59.039 --> 01:34:02.039 a lot of screaming and yellow and the connected communities 1706 01:34:02.079 --> 01:34:05.640 has been talked about in what's your take on Housing 1707 01:34:05.720 --> 01:34:08.479 in the City of Cincinnati, and as a mechanism to 1708 01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:11.000 get more people to want to live there. It seemed 1709 01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:16.039 to have worked when they read when they gentrified over 1710 01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:18.079 the Rhine area. I know a lot of urban hipsters 1711 01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:20.760 moved in there. That worked, But then people turned around 1712 01:34:20.760 --> 01:34:23.600 and started saying, well, I can no longer afford to 1713 01:34:23.600 --> 01:34:25.199 live in the area where I used to live. So 1714 01:34:25.640 --> 01:34:28.199 it always comes with detractors when you invested in any 1715 01:34:28.199 --> 01:34:31.000 given neighborhood. But what's your plan to create some sort 1716 01:34:31.039 --> 01:34:32.439 of practical approach to housing. 1717 01:34:34.159 --> 01:34:36.279 Well, I think one of the things that you have 1718 01:34:36.359 --> 01:34:39.800 to hone in on is one of Cincinnati's best resources 1719 01:34:39.880 --> 01:34:44.439 is our local small businesses and our developers. There's a 1720 01:34:44.520 --> 01:34:47.399 lot of developers, a lot of people that are invested 1721 01:34:47.439 --> 01:34:49.760 in the city, that loved the city, that grew up 1722 01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:51.640 here or where they're from here. They call it their 1723 01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:54.479 home that they're able to flip one or two properties 1724 01:34:55.239 --> 01:34:55.880 at a time. 1725 01:34:56.479 --> 01:34:57.479 But when you have. 1726 01:34:57.920 --> 01:35:00.880 An overall plan, let's say, or a vision that the 1727 01:35:00.920 --> 01:35:03.359 city has for an area, and it's only going to 1728 01:35:03.399 --> 01:35:06.039 be done by one big time developer. That's really what 1729 01:35:06.039 --> 01:35:08.399 you're seeing with these connected communities is that you're not 1730 01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:12.039 allowing people in the community to do it. You're actually 1731 01:35:12.079 --> 01:35:13.720 just bypassing that saying. 1732 01:35:13.479 --> 01:35:15.439 No, this is what we see for the community. 1733 01:35:15.520 --> 01:35:19.159 And then in these policies, it's a trojan horse for 1734 01:35:19.239 --> 01:35:21.319 a lot of things that have failed in the past 1735 01:35:21.399 --> 01:35:22.800 and other communities in the city. 1736 01:35:23.479 --> 01:35:25.199 Well, and I know one of the hurdles to you 1737 01:35:25.640 --> 01:35:27.880 doing any kind of development, small or large. We have 1738 01:35:28.079 --> 01:35:31.640 an overburden of regulations in the city. 1739 01:35:32.920 --> 01:35:37.760 Yes, absolutely, And I witnessed that firsthand as a business 1740 01:35:37.760 --> 01:35:40.279 owner in the West End. I remember the year that 1741 01:35:40.319 --> 01:35:43.720 we went to the Super Bowl with the Bengals, and 1742 01:35:43.960 --> 01:35:47.079 that the year after that, it was nothing short of 1743 01:35:47.560 --> 01:35:50.079 like crazy in a lot of these streets in the 1744 01:35:50.079 --> 01:35:53.479 West End, specifically where I was from. Is that there 1745 01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:57.079 was developers and investors that were lining up the streets 1746 01:35:57.199 --> 01:36:00.560 ready to pour into this city. And the way that 1747 01:36:00.600 --> 01:36:02.520 you saw, you're like, man, this place is going to 1748 01:36:02.560 --> 01:36:06.800 blow up into in two years time, max. There's gonna 1749 01:36:06.800 --> 01:36:09.439 be so much development, there's gonna be so much housing available, 1750 01:36:09.439 --> 01:36:12.119 there's gonna be so much resources available. This is amazing. 1751 01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:14.880 Two years later, you just realize there's a kink in 1752 01:36:14.880 --> 01:36:16.079 the hose. What is it. 1753 01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:17.800 Well, it has to do with regulation. 1754 01:36:18.079 --> 01:36:20.960 It has to do with zoning that is just not 1755 01:36:21.199 --> 01:36:25.199 practical to the area. When you've got an area that's 1756 01:36:25.239 --> 01:36:30.239 over eighty percent affordable housing or government subsidized housing, and 1757 01:36:30.279 --> 01:36:32.680 then you're trying to put more of that in that 1758 01:36:32.800 --> 01:36:36.760 community instead of just allowing businesses to thrive and people 1759 01:36:36.800 --> 01:36:42.039 to have market rate or middle income apartments and condos 1760 01:36:42.119 --> 01:36:45.600 and townhomes. This is just something that really hinders the 1761 01:36:45.640 --> 01:36:47.279 growth of all these communities. 1762 01:36:47.520 --> 01:36:50.560 Yeah, it concentrates poverty in certain areas which prevents them 1763 01:36:50.600 --> 01:36:51.880 from economic development. 1764 01:36:53.159 --> 01:36:53.439 Yeah. 1765 01:36:53.479 --> 01:36:57.039 Absolutely, And that honestly is probably one of the biggest 1766 01:36:57.079 --> 01:37:00.399 factors of this campaign with the money management starting to 1767 01:37:00.399 --> 01:37:03.880 see that just certain funds need to go to certain 1768 01:37:03.920 --> 01:37:07.199 places and be prioritized. But then on top of that, 1769 01:37:07.439 --> 01:37:09.920 we have to have a practical housing approach because it 1770 01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:12.119 is an issue. You know, when people say that there's 1771 01:37:12.119 --> 01:37:15.560 a housing crisis, you've got to realize that there's a disparity. 1772 01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:19.079 There's the very low income housing and then there's a 1773 01:37:19.199 --> 01:37:22.840 very high income housing. But for us, in our coffee shop, 1774 01:37:22.920 --> 01:37:26.319 there's several individuals that work in the city, and they're 1775 01:37:26.359 --> 01:37:29.000 able to afford a great price in our apartment, in 1776 01:37:29.039 --> 01:37:31.359 the apartments that are above the building. We don't own 1777 01:37:31.399 --> 01:37:33.760 the building itself, but we're able to pay a market 1778 01:37:33.800 --> 01:37:36.359 rate for our business as well, and it's helped the 1779 01:37:36.399 --> 01:37:41.199 community thrive. But there's a shortage of available units like 1780 01:37:41.319 --> 01:37:44.479 that unless you have you know, if you play by 1781 01:37:44.479 --> 01:37:46.119 the rules with the red tape of you've got to 1782 01:37:46.159 --> 01:37:47.880 put this type of business here, and you've got to 1783 01:37:47.880 --> 01:37:51.239 put this type of housing here, and really that shouldn't 1784 01:37:51.239 --> 01:37:51.760 be the case. 1785 01:37:52.439 --> 01:37:55.279 Coreybowman dot com for all the info and of course 1786 01:37:55.319 --> 01:37:58.560 price wal Chili April eighth, beginning at five pm for 1787 01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:00.640 the fundraiser and get a chance to shake hands with 1788 01:38:00.680 --> 01:38:02.439 Corey and meet him up front.

He had some I think 1858 01:41:09.359 --> 01:41:14.960 some excellent points on education, like notably phonics, bringing back phonics, 1859 01:41:15.039 --> 01:41:17.960 and getting cell phones out of schools, which I guess 1860 01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:21.199 the state law is going to require that school districts 1861 01:41:21.199 --> 01:41:24.319 have an anti cell phone policy in place at least 1862 01:41:24.319 --> 01:41:26.600 by July of this year. That can only do good 1863 01:41:26.600 --> 01:41:29.199 for the students who are so distracted these days. What 1864 01:41:29.319 --> 01:41:31.239 was your take on this date of the state. 1865 01:41:32.319 --> 01:41:34.960 Yeah, I think once again, you know, it's an opportunity 1866 01:41:34.960 --> 01:41:37.600 to kind of reflect on the accomplishments over the last 1867 01:41:37.600 --> 01:41:41.359 two years, set some priorities for the legislature as they 1868 01:41:41.920 --> 01:41:45.640 you know, are getting to the halfway point in that process. 1869 01:41:46.279 --> 01:41:48.880 And you know what I think we saw from Governor 1870 01:41:49.000 --> 01:41:52.680 want on this was he's focused on pointing to the 1871 01:41:52.800 --> 01:42:00.439 right issues right education, families, workforce, jobs, opportunity. What we 1872 01:42:00.520 --> 01:42:02.920 have to caution though, Brian, as you as you well know, 1873 01:42:03.359 --> 01:42:05.640 and I've been on the show many times talking about it, 1874 01:42:05.680 --> 01:42:09.319 is what government's role is in those things and making 1875 01:42:09.359 --> 01:42:12.199 sure that we're what we're doing for creating an environment 1876 01:42:12.199 --> 01:42:15.199 where folks can thrive and succeed and we can be 1877 01:42:15.279 --> 01:42:17.520 the number one state of the nation, but doing it 1878 01:42:17.560 --> 01:42:20.720 through freedom and limited government. So that's always the thing 1879 01:42:20.720 --> 01:42:23.279 you got to be listening out for in these speeches 1880 01:42:23.720 --> 01:42:26.760 is wait, what are what is the executive asking for? 1881 01:42:26.880 --> 01:42:27.159 Now? 1882 01:42:28.119 --> 01:42:29.600 What kind of power are they asking for from the 1883 01:42:29.640 --> 01:42:32.319 legislature as they talk about these priorities and initiatives. 1884 01:42:32.760 --> 01:42:35.439 Well, some of the things are like common sense, like 1885 01:42:35.479 --> 01:42:40.079 bringing more Civics education in teaching the basic life skills. 1886 01:42:40.119 --> 01:42:42.960 I remember a home economics class. I thought that was great, 1887 01:42:43.239 --> 01:42:46.479 But budgeting things like that, that isn't that local school 1888 01:42:46.520 --> 01:42:49.479 board based decision making? And bun't the school boards to 1889 01:42:49.600 --> 01:42:50.760 make those determinations. 1890 01:42:52.000 --> 01:42:54.640 Well, I think miner standing is you've got a lot 1891 01:42:54.680 --> 01:42:57.920 of different requirements coming from the state and the federal government. 1892 01:42:58.000 --> 01:43:00.359 I think what we should be doing, yeah, is priortizing 1893 01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:02.359 some of those things and then also making sure when 1894 01:43:02.359 --> 01:43:05.319 we're talking about education, we're really focused on the stuff 1895 01:43:06.199 --> 01:43:09.079 that are going to set folks up for success, right 1896 01:43:09.199 --> 01:43:13.239 the core essentials, reading, writing, arithmetic, which I know Governor 1897 01:43:13.279 --> 01:43:16.319 Dewines put a heavy emphasis on making sure students are 1898 01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:18.640 equipped to read, and we've got some good indicators of that. 1899 01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:21.840 But yeah, life skills like budgeting. I think that's really 1900 01:43:21.880 --> 01:43:27.640 important in making sure folks understand how to live their life. 1901 01:43:27.439 --> 01:43:33.119 Once they once they get out of school. That's important. Joe, 1902 01:43:33.199 --> 01:43:41.800 just ask will our elected officials take those classes first, budgeting, 1903 01:43:41.880 --> 01:43:51.359 most notably Strecker. Now, you did a poll the folks 1904 01:43:51.439 --> 01:43:52.920 reaction on the state of the state. 1905 01:43:52.960 --> 01:43:56.159 I understand, well, this was a pre state of the 1906 01:43:56.199 --> 01:43:57.880 state pole. We wanted to get our finger on the 1907 01:43:57.920 --> 01:44:01.520 pulse where Ohio voters are. We could kind of, you know, 1908 01:44:02.000 --> 01:44:03.800 deliver that map. We want to deliver that message to 1909 01:44:03.800 --> 01:44:06.439 the legislations and say, hey, here's what you're hearing from governor, 1910 01:44:06.479 --> 01:44:08.560 here's what you're you know, you guys are talking about. 1911 01:44:08.840 --> 01:44:11.119 How does the lineup with actually where voters are and 1912 01:44:11.159 --> 01:44:13.520 what they want to see y'all do with the two 1913 01:44:13.600 --> 01:44:15.520 hundred and eleven billion dollars you're going to be spending 1914 01:44:15.520 --> 01:44:16.399 over the next two years. 1915 01:44:16.399 --> 01:44:18.239 All Right, we'll let that set up for the next 1916 01:44:18.279 --> 01:44:21.119 segment where we'll see if Dwine's comments in the State 1917 01:44:21.159 --> 01:44:24.680 of the State align with what Americans for Prosperity polls 1918 01:44:24.680 --> 01:44:27.399 said that folks want.

Apparently addressing education 1980 01:47:15.439 --> 01:47:17.000 was one of the right things to do because that 1981 01:47:17.119 --> 01:47:18.760 was really important to the folks you pulled. 1982 01:47:20.520 --> 01:47:26.479 Yeah, over over seventy five percent of Ohio voters said 1983 01:47:26.520 --> 01:47:29.319 that they want it. It's a very or extremely important 1984 01:47:29.319 --> 01:47:32.800 combined to address education here in the state of Ohio. 1985 01:47:32.880 --> 01:47:35.159 And I think we you know, something that we had 1986 01:47:35.199 --> 01:47:37.319 seen coming out of COVID right as parents were better 1987 01:47:37.319 --> 01:47:40.000 connected to their kids' education or saw their kids not 1988 01:47:40.039 --> 01:47:43.680 being educated because they shut the school down. This continues 1989 01:47:43.720 --> 01:47:47.079 to be an issue that folks want to see resolved. 1990 01:47:47.079 --> 01:47:48.800 And I think you've got a mix of folks who 1991 01:47:48.800 --> 01:47:52.720 care about it from the academic and what we're being 1992 01:47:52.800 --> 01:47:56.560 taught perspective right in choice. But then you've also got it, 1993 01:47:56.960 --> 01:47:58.479 I think from the folks who want to know they're 1994 01:47:58.479 --> 01:48:02.359 getting value and the talking about property taxes, the property 1995 01:48:02.439 --> 01:48:05.439 taxes they're paying to go to fund the schools and education. 1996 01:48:05.520 --> 01:48:08.399 And so we really hope all makers pay attention here 1997 01:48:08.439 --> 01:48:14.840 and work to address some of those challenges of which 1998 01:48:14.920 --> 01:48:16.479 we also had voters care about. 1999 01:48:16.279 --> 01:48:19.520 In terms of education, flexibility, Brian, Yeah, and I don't 2000 01:48:19.600 --> 01:48:22.920 know did Governor de Wine say anything about that school choice, flexibility, 2001 01:48:22.960 --> 01:48:27.520 options for parents to send their children, Not that I caught. 2002 01:48:27.640 --> 01:48:31.000 Unfortunately, last State of the State he did, and that 2003 01:48:31.079 --> 01:48:35.680 actually really helped supercharge the conversation. So I didn't catch 2004 01:48:35.720 --> 01:48:38.560 anything like that in his comments yesterday. 2005 01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:42.840 That seems a lost opportunity because I think, you know, 2006 01:48:43.159 --> 01:48:48.000 education choice, I think resonates with people of all political stripes, 2007 01:48:48.039 --> 01:48:49.960 and unless you remember the teachers Unit, I think your 2008 01:48:50.039 --> 01:48:53.239 job's at stake or something. You know, if you are 2009 01:48:53.279 --> 01:48:56.159 a state that offers this, that is a magnet for 2010 01:48:56.319 --> 01:48:59.960 families considering places to live. It's just one more, you know, 2011 01:49:00.119 --> 01:49:03.840 piece of the puzzle to make Ohio an in demand 2012 01:49:03.920 --> 01:49:08.279 state as opposed to something that's completely overlooked. Oh totally, 2013 01:49:08.279 --> 01:49:08.680 and that's why. 2014 01:49:08.760 --> 01:49:11.680 Yeah, So sixty eight percent of the voters we pulled 2015 01:49:11.720 --> 01:49:17.319 on this question support education flexibility. And what that means, right, 2016 01:49:17.399 --> 01:49:19.359 is it's not just money following the child. It's the 2017 01:49:19.399 --> 01:49:21.000 ability to go to the school that's going to best 2018 01:49:21.000 --> 01:49:24.520 meet that kids needs. Are access to the resources that's 2019 01:49:24.560 --> 01:49:26.800 going to help, you know, maybe close a learning loss 2020 01:49:26.840 --> 01:49:30.680 gap that the child might have, and so increasing policy. 2021 01:49:31.199 --> 01:49:32.279 Passing policies that are. 2022 01:49:32.159 --> 01:49:35.640 Going to increase education flexibility are incredibly critical and it's 2023 01:49:35.640 --> 01:49:37.720 something that voters are wanting. 2024 01:49:38.439 --> 01:49:41.359 And I think something else I don't think he addressed, 2025 01:49:41.439 --> 01:49:45.520 but it's energy prices. Folks a little upset about energy 2026 01:49:45.560 --> 01:49:48.199 and energy policy is a prioritization. 2027 01:49:49.520 --> 01:49:52.319 I don't think I've met anybody for a while Brian 2028 01:49:52.359 --> 01:49:55.119 who has said, boy, I'm really happy about these low energy. 2029 01:49:55.039 --> 01:49:58.359 Oh my god, I know going through the roof. So 2030 01:49:58.920 --> 01:49:59.920 no surprises day. 2031 01:50:00.960 --> 01:50:04.319 But what I think was insightful because we wanted to 2032 01:50:04.359 --> 01:50:06.920 kind of understand where folks want to see the legislature 2033 01:50:07.439 --> 01:50:10.960 take things. Sixty percent of voters say the government's number 2034 01:50:10.960 --> 01:50:14.720 one priority should be ensuring affordable and reliable energy, even 2035 01:50:14.800 --> 01:50:17.399 if it may slow the pace of renewable energy developments. 2036 01:50:17.399 --> 01:50:20.439 So we're opposed to renewable energy, right, But the signal 2037 01:50:20.520 --> 01:50:23.840 is we got we gotta unleash energy abundance here, not 2038 01:50:23.920 --> 01:50:26.159 just in the country, but particularly here in the state Ohio. 2039 01:50:26.199 --> 01:50:29.840 We got an abundance of resources, abundants opportunity, and that's 2040 01:50:29.880 --> 01:50:31.840 what two thirds of voters want. 2041 01:50:31.760 --> 01:50:32.319 To see happen. 2042 01:50:32.760 --> 01:50:35.399 Yeah, I mean, I died. I'm glad Donald Trumps and 2043 01:50:35.600 --> 01:50:38.079 I guess you probably saw the EPA has got has 2044 01:50:38.119 --> 01:50:41.479 moved away from this Green New Deal garbage and going 2045 01:50:41.520 --> 01:50:43.720 back to more sensible Donald Trump, you know all of 2046 01:50:43.760 --> 01:50:46.680 the above energy strategy. And you know, and that's another thing. 2047 01:50:46.720 --> 01:50:49.439 Ohio could be the leader of nuclear power. I mean, 2048 01:50:49.439 --> 01:50:51.840 we just need to just get rid of the regulatory 2049 01:50:51.920 --> 01:50:56.359 overburdens and the impediments to nuclear energy, embrace this modern 2050 01:50:56.479 --> 01:51:00.760 nuclear power generation technology, the modular nuclear your plans. I mean, 2051 01:51:00.760 --> 01:51:02.720 we could be a real leader and another magnet for 2052 01:51:02.800 --> 01:51:05.800 artificial intelligence to come here, because that's the that's the 2053 01:51:05.880 --> 01:51:10.359 key to drawing AI facilities and the jobs that they have. 2054 01:51:11.640 --> 01:51:12.520 Oh without a doubt. 2055 01:51:12.560 --> 01:51:16.439 And unfortunately, there are are already legislative vehicles. There have 2056 01:51:16.520 --> 01:51:19.079 been many hearings talking about just that. And it's not 2057 01:51:19.680 --> 01:51:22.239 what we typically see, right, which are subsidies or picking 2058 01:51:22.239 --> 01:51:25.760 winners and losers in the energy marketplace. The policies we're 2059 01:51:25.800 --> 01:51:30.319 seeing Center Bill two, House Bill fifteen, those are focused 2060 01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:34.399 on speeding up in many ways, speeding up the permitting 2061 01:51:34.439 --> 01:51:36.680 process so that if somebody's got an energy project and 2062 01:51:36.840 --> 01:51:38.760 energy generation project they want to get off the ground, 2063 01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:40.760 they're going to know they're going to have an answer 2064 01:51:40.840 --> 01:51:42.520 to it and not just go into a black hole 2065 01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:44.960 like they often do, you know, on the federal level 2066 01:51:45.079 --> 01:51:46.319 as they work through these things. 2067 01:51:46.680 --> 01:51:48.880 Well, since i'll be talking about property tax relief coming 2068 01:51:48.920 --> 01:51:51.119 up off top of the our news with Senator Blessing, 2069 01:51:51.399 --> 01:51:54.920 I see that's a big concern for ohioan's because everybody's 2070 01:51:55.000 --> 01:51:57.079 upset about the size of their property tax bill. At 2071 01:51:57.159 --> 01:52:00.319 least the corner of your survey. It's a big priority, 2072 01:52:00.399 --> 01:52:00.840 it is. 2073 01:52:01.119 --> 01:52:03.640 We've got sixty five percent of folks say property taxes 2074 01:52:03.680 --> 01:52:06.000 are too high. Again, not not in the realm of 2075 01:52:06.000 --> 01:52:08.920 big surprises here, right, folks are paying a lot and 2076 01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:11.000 they they're they're they're starting to feel the pain and 2077 01:52:11.039 --> 01:52:14.399 the pinch. What I think was especially insightful though, was 2078 01:52:14.439 --> 01:52:16.680 that what they want to see lawmakers focus on. And 2079 01:52:16.680 --> 01:52:18.960 there's really kind of two competing tracks that we're seeing 2080 01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:22.439 here at the State House's legislative proposals come in. One 2081 01:52:22.600 --> 01:52:25.119 is providing you know, what I would deter what I 2082 01:52:25.119 --> 01:52:28.359 would call temporary relief, right like, hey, let's let's subsidize 2083 01:52:28.359 --> 01:52:30.960 this through the state and not not in like a lower. 2084 01:52:30.680 --> 01:52:31.800 Case that subsidized Brian. 2085 01:52:31.920 --> 01:52:35.199 Right, like, let's have the state, you know, provide some 2086 01:52:35.279 --> 01:52:38.560 relief to communities with high tax burdens that sort of 2087 01:52:38.640 --> 01:52:41.399 weather's storm, or let's provide some more exemptions to particular 2088 01:52:41.560 --> 01:52:45.680 groups or populations. But what voters want to see actually 2089 01:52:46.000 --> 01:52:49.560 is long term structural changes. And so I think, you know, 2090 01:52:49.600 --> 01:52:52.720 reforms that will address the twenty mil floor, or we'll 2091 01:52:52.720 --> 01:52:55.640 get to you know, making sure that folks have transparency 2092 01:52:56.119 --> 01:52:59.840 in you know, what sorts of levees have, what impact 2093 01:52:59.880 --> 01:53:01.119 on their property tax. 2094 01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:02.560 Bill, those kinds of policies. 2095 01:53:02.560 --> 01:53:04.960 I think voters are going to reward next November if 2096 01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:08.000 wallmakers get to get to work on addressing them. 2097 01:53:08.119 --> 01:53:08.319 Yeah. 2098 01:53:08.359 --> 01:53:09.960 I know there's a lot of seniors out there that 2099 01:53:10.000 --> 01:53:13.279 were just shocked and dismay and really concerned about their 2100 01:53:13.279 --> 01:53:15.079 ability to stay in the places they've been in for 2101 01:53:15.119 --> 01:53:18.119 a long time. You know, the properties have all increased 2102 01:53:18.159 --> 01:53:20.600 in value dramatically as on the heels of COVID and 2103 01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:23.279 the demand, and you know they just can't manage. So 2104 01:53:23.439 --> 01:53:25.520 relief for seniors seems to be a top priority, and 2105 01:53:25.600 --> 01:53:28.039 I think mister Blessing is going to be addressing that 2106 01:53:28.119 --> 01:53:30.520 in some part. After the top of the air news 2107 01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:34.479 I got a big chuckle out of no phanomi of 2108 01:53:34.920 --> 01:53:40.319 tax dollars being used to support sporting organizations. You did 2109 01:53:40.359 --> 01:53:43.199 a pull on the taxpayer funding for the new Cleveland 2110 01:53:43.199 --> 01:53:48.399 brown Stadium. Wow, look at that one eighty. 2111 01:53:51.319 --> 01:53:53.239 And this isn't just Cincinnati, by the way, this wasn't 2112 01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:55.119 a poll we just ran in Southwestal House. These aren't 2113 01:53:55.119 --> 01:53:57.840 Bengals fans, you know, dogging on the team up north. 2114 01:53:58.079 --> 01:53:58.640 That is. 2115 01:53:59.520 --> 01:54:02.399 This is you know, across the state of Ohio. And 2116 01:54:02.439 --> 01:54:06.479 I think that's right right. You know, folks don't want 2117 01:54:06.479 --> 01:54:09.119 to see their panheigh property taxes or pay more on 2118 01:54:09.199 --> 01:54:11.359 energy bills. The last thing they want to see their 2119 01:54:11.359 --> 01:54:13.880 tax dollars going to or new taxes being opposed on 2120 01:54:13.920 --> 01:54:17.760 them to pay for our stadium deals for you know, 2121 01:54:18.319 --> 01:54:22.720 over five billion dollar infl franchises. I don't think we 2122 01:54:22.760 --> 01:54:24.279 need to be doing that, and the voters seem to 2123 01:54:24.319 --> 01:54:26.479 feel the same way. So I think there's been a 2124 01:54:26.520 --> 01:54:28.760 lot of cold water doused on some of the governor's 2125 01:54:28.760 --> 01:54:33.680 proposals around funding stadium, the Cleveland Brown Stadium deal, and 2126 01:54:34.319 --> 01:54:36.960 I'd be curious to see how that may be, what 2127 01:54:37.319 --> 01:54:38.479 maneuvers they take now. 2128 01:54:38.800 --> 01:54:42.279 Yeah, and it's a growing number of people just are 2129 01:54:42.520 --> 01:54:45.600 I think we've all learned a lesson from the pay 2130 01:54:45.680 --> 01:54:49.199 Course stadium and always described as the worst stadium deal 2131 01:54:49.279 --> 01:54:51.920 negotiated in the entire country. We've been living with that 2132 01:54:51.960 --> 01:54:54.119 for a long time. And now they got their hand 2133 01:54:54.119 --> 01:54:56.399 in the public funds cookie jar to do some expansions 2134 01:54:56.399 --> 01:54:58.000 and some improvements that we're all going to be on 2135 01:54:58.039 --> 01:54:59.960 the hook on thanks to the terrible deal we dealt. 2136 01:55:00.239 --> 01:55:04.359 So anyhow, eighty percent a pose. And again we're talking 2137 01:55:04.399 --> 01:55:09.039 about a two point four billion dollars stadium they're considering. 2138 01:55:09.720 --> 01:55:12.720 That just seems outrageous, man, But I always thought the 2139 01:55:12.720 --> 01:55:14.439 way of the future was sitting in your own basement 2140 01:55:14.479 --> 01:55:16.600 watching it on a giant screen TV and not paying 2141 01:55:16.640 --> 01:55:19.079 twelve dollars to fifteen dollars for a beer Donovan. 2142 01:55:20.319 --> 01:55:22.680 See, well, you know, I like that front row seat 2143 01:55:22.680 --> 01:55:24.239 as well, so it's fun to go to a game. 2144 01:55:24.279 --> 01:55:27.479 But yeah, it's a it's a pricey endeavor. Yeah, but 2145 01:55:27.640 --> 01:55:28.680 each their own, I suppose. 2146 01:55:28.960 --> 01:55:33.000 Yeah, it's well, they're built for the wealthy among us, 2147 01:55:33.039 --> 01:55:35.479 and that's part of the redevelopment plan for pay Corps 2148 01:55:35.560 --> 01:55:38.279 to put you know, new boxes and high end boxes 2149 01:55:38.279 --> 01:55:39.920 in there that none of us will ever see the 2150 01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:43.920 inside of any uh call to action for my listeners 2151 01:55:43.920 --> 01:55:46.199 from Americans for Prosperity, how they can help out and 2152 01:55:46.239 --> 01:55:47.920 do the work that you want them to help out 2153 01:55:47.920 --> 01:55:51.640 doing their Donovan well, as always go to Buckeye blueprint 2154 01:55:51.680 --> 01:55:53.720 dot com. You go to Buckeye blueprint dot com. 2155 01:55:53.720 --> 01:55:54.800 You could sign up take action. 2156 01:55:54.840 --> 01:55:56.800 Only got a handful of different policy issues that you 2157 01:55:56.880 --> 01:55:59.039 can send a quick note to your state representative, state 2158 01:55:59.079 --> 01:56:02.319 senator on, but in particular that'll also give us. It'll 2159 01:56:02.319 --> 01:56:03.920 also fly for us to have our team reach out 2160 01:56:03.920 --> 01:56:05.560 to you.

Fingers crossed Bill Blessing after the top 2237 01:59:35.000 --> 01:59:36.880 of the our news. 2238 01:59:37.239 --> 01:59:41.319 Covering Trump's first one hundred days day every day promises 2239 01:59:41.439 --> 01:59:45.399 made promises. Kevin fifty five krs the talk station. 2240 01:59:45.680 --> 01:59:47.560 People are mad as hell when they got that most 2241 01:59:47.600 --> 01:59:51.039 recent tax bill, and people are really demanding answers and 2242 01:59:51.520 --> 01:59:53.800 looking for solutions to how to solve the problems. So 2243 01:59:53.840 --> 01:59:56.439 we don't get whacked like that again. I understand you'd 2244 01:59:56.479 --> 01:59:58.720 be talking about this at Thursday evening at the Empower 2245 01:59:58.720 --> 01:59:59.840 You seminary. 2246 02:00:00.039 --> 02:00:03.680 Yes, that's correct, and you are absolutely correct. A lot 2247 02:00:03.720 --> 02:00:09.000 of anger out there, and particularly with seniors on fixed incomes. 2248 02:00:09.039 --> 02:00:09.800 You are right about that. 2249 02:00:10.199 --> 02:00:12.720 So I understand there's a ten member joint committee on 2250 02:00:12.800 --> 02:00:16.600 property tax reform you are heading it up. Are you 2251 02:00:16.800 --> 02:00:19.840 looking for people to show up to offer their concerns, 2252 02:00:19.880 --> 02:00:22.279 problems and solutions or are you going to be providing 2253 02:00:22.279 --> 02:00:26.039 information about potential legislative fixes what's going to take place. 2254 02:00:26.439 --> 02:00:30.039 So I'm happy to go over elements of the report. 2255 02:00:30.119 --> 02:00:32.439 And I should qualify this by saying I'm a co 2256 02:00:32.600 --> 02:00:38.880 chair Representative Bill Romer, who's the Houseways and Means Chairman. 2257 02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:41.239 And I should also clarify the Ways and Means Committee 2258 02:00:41.239 --> 02:00:43.399 as the committee that deals with taxes. I chair the 2259 02:00:43.439 --> 02:00:46.760 Senate Ways and Means Committee. I think at this point 2260 02:00:46.760 --> 02:00:50.399 the focus is going to be more on what we 2261 02:00:50.439 --> 02:00:54.800 should be doing going forward. And admittedly, you know, myself 2262 02:00:55.000 --> 02:00:58.640 and other members of the General Assembly, we didn't wait 2263 02:00:58.680 --> 02:01:01.479 for the report to come out before we started dropping 2264 02:01:01.600 --> 02:01:06.640 legislation and attempts to address this even last General Assembly. 2265 02:01:06.840 --> 02:01:09.520 So but I also hope to like clear up some 2266 02:01:10.760 --> 02:01:13.920 you know, misconceptions with with what's going on, what we 2267 02:01:14.000 --> 02:01:16.319 can and can't do. You know a good example of 2268 02:01:16.319 --> 02:01:18.279 that is, you know, people will say, well, why can't 2269 02:01:18.319 --> 02:01:22.640 you just freeze property taxes? And you know a big 2270 02:01:22.680 --> 02:01:25.720 issue with that is, well, a lot of these provisions 2271 02:01:25.720 --> 02:01:27.920 in the constitutions, so you'd have to go to the 2272 02:01:27.960 --> 02:01:30.960 ballot in order to repeal them if you if that 2273 02:01:31.119 --> 02:01:32.439 was something that we were going to. 2274 02:01:32.319 --> 02:01:35.840 Do, okay, and my what are the springboards? And this 2275 02:01:35.880 --> 02:01:37.800 has to be the Supreme Court case from I guess 2276 02:01:37.800 --> 02:01:41.039 two decades ago declaring that the funding of schools was 2277 02:01:41.079 --> 02:01:43.680 on constitutional, Yet there's been no change that the line's 2278 02:01:43.680 --> 02:01:46.760 share of our property taxes goes goes to the schools. 2279 02:01:48.560 --> 02:01:51.239 Yeah, so now so now you know where I'll be 2280 02:01:51.279 --> 02:01:57.560 going in this budget discussion. You're right, in fact, when 2281 02:01:58.760 --> 02:02:03.600 as introduced budget passes and there's some nuance to this. 2282 02:02:03.920 --> 02:02:06.720 But if that, let's say that passes and is our 2283 02:02:06.800 --> 02:02:13.039 school funding formula going forward, the state versus local share 2284 02:02:13.199 --> 02:02:16.880 split will be lower than it actually was during d'olf. 2285 02:02:17.680 --> 02:02:20.119 So in other words, that during d'off I think it 2286 02:02:20.199 --> 02:02:23.279 was in the low forties. So, in other words, forty 2287 02:02:23.319 --> 02:02:26.199 percent of the funding came from the state, sixty percent 2288 02:02:26.319 --> 02:02:31.399 from locals. If this school funding formula goes through, it'll 2289 02:02:31.439 --> 02:02:36.039 be I believe in the load of mid thirties. So 2290 02:02:36.279 --> 02:02:39.399 obviously we need to, you know, fix that. And for 2291 02:02:39.479 --> 02:02:42.239 what it's worth, the formula that is being phased in, 2292 02:02:42.279 --> 02:02:45.319 if we fully phased it in, it is, in my 2293 02:02:45.439 --> 02:02:50.000 at least in my estimation, a fully content formula. I 2294 02:02:50.000 --> 02:02:52.520 think you'd find the school districts would say the same thing. 2295 02:02:53.159 --> 02:02:56.560 But yes, you are, you're absolutely right that that is 2296 02:02:56.600 --> 02:02:59.640 a huge piece of this in the sense that if 2297 02:02:59.640 --> 02:03:02.239 you do more at the state level, it's not like 2298 02:03:02.279 --> 02:03:05.399 school districts like going to the ballot, I think there'd 2299 02:03:05.399 --> 02:03:06.800 be a lot less pressure. 2300 02:03:06.479 --> 02:03:10.199 To do so, Okay, so fewer levees then fewer tax 2301 02:03:10.279 --> 02:03:15.920 levy ballot initiatives. Absolutely, well, that's I'm sure that it 2302 02:03:15.960 --> 02:03:18.520 sounds like that's going to be welcome for my listening audience. 2303 02:03:18.560 --> 02:03:21.359 And of late, most of them get shot down because 2304 02:03:21.359 --> 02:03:25.960 people's property tax burden is just you know, it's too challenging, 2305 02:03:26.000 --> 02:03:29.239 so they're less likely to vote to maybe vote for 2306 02:03:29.239 --> 02:03:31.800 a levee that is actually needed. Some view them as 2307 02:03:31.840 --> 02:03:34.439 not unneeded in many cases, but that's up to our 2308 02:03:35.119 --> 02:03:37.880 voters to decide. But now, how will this help in 2309 02:03:37.960 --> 02:03:41.039 terms of tax relief for the taxpayer? Since the fundamental 2310 02:03:41.079 --> 02:03:43.039 issue is here the bottom line, what do we have 2311 02:03:43.119 --> 02:03:44.640 to pay in terms of taxes? 2312 02:03:45.159 --> 02:03:48.760 If you're looking at fixing the school funding formula, that 2313 02:03:49.000 --> 02:03:52.640 would be something that I would say is more in 2314 02:03:52.680 --> 02:03:56.000 the future a fix that would be more future looking 2315 02:03:56.079 --> 02:03:59.920 and it's not going to offer immediate relief. But that's 2316 02:04:00.279 --> 02:04:03.319 There are a number of bills in the General Assembly, 2317 02:04:03.399 --> 02:04:07.720 some of which I carry, that would offer immediate relief 2318 02:04:07.960 --> 02:04:13.680 I still maintain the three best ideas are one the 2319 02:04:13.720 --> 02:04:19.640 property tax circuit breaker to an expanded homestead exemption, and 2320 02:04:19.840 --> 02:04:23.720 three a property tax deferral program, and some other states 2321 02:04:23.760 --> 02:04:25.520 do that. To give you an idea, how that works 2322 02:04:25.640 --> 02:04:31.399 is that the state creates a large fund and you apply, 2323 02:04:31.720 --> 02:04:34.439 and let's say you're a senior on fixed income, for example, 2324 02:04:35.239 --> 02:04:38.760 your property taxes would be freeze at their current level, 2325 02:04:39.600 --> 02:04:43.119 and the state would then take on the burden as 2326 02:04:43.159 --> 02:04:45.640 they continue to go up. But then either when you 2327 02:04:45.680 --> 02:04:49.000 pass away or sell the home, the state would then 2328 02:04:49.279 --> 02:04:55.279 recoup the lost out revenue via a lean on the property. 2329 02:04:55.640 --> 02:04:58.199 That seems logical. I mean that mechanism. At least the 2330 02:04:58.359 --> 02:05:00.560 state is not out this money completely, like it's some 2331 02:05:00.600 --> 02:05:04.039 sort of government program to just pay for things for people. 2332 02:05:04.079 --> 02:05:06.039 But you get the money back when the house is 2333 02:05:06.079 --> 02:05:07.920 sold or the estate is disposed. 2334 02:05:09.359 --> 02:05:11.920 That's exactly right, I mean it was. The basic gist 2335 02:05:12.000 --> 02:05:14.840 of it is that if you have a lot of 2336 02:05:14.920 --> 02:05:17.920 equity in your home, which a lot of seniors do, uh, 2337 02:05:18.000 --> 02:05:21.159 they're able to tap into that early, which I think 2338 02:05:21.239 --> 02:05:24.039 the vast majority of them would say, we're totally for. 2339 02:05:24.079 --> 02:05:28.279 That, all right, But the lean would be established upfront, 2340 02:05:28.359 --> 02:05:30.760 so they couldn't so get like a second mortgage and 2341 02:05:30.760 --> 02:05:32.760 get all the equity out of the home and leave 2342 02:05:32.880 --> 02:05:33.359 in debt. 2343 02:05:34.880 --> 02:05:37.399 Correct And there's there's a lot of guardrails that would 2344 02:05:37.479 --> 02:05:39.600 have to you know, be in place for this. But 2345 02:05:39.640 --> 02:05:42.680 the state, the state that did this, well, there's two 2346 02:05:42.720 --> 02:05:45.560 of them that did it. One is Maine, the others Minnesota. 2347 02:05:46.199 --> 02:05:49.399 The draft that I have is based on Maine, though 2348 02:05:49.439 --> 02:05:52.720 I have not introduced that at this moment because it 2349 02:05:52.800 --> 02:05:55.680 was well at the time, there was some talk of 2350 02:05:55.800 --> 02:06:00.840 which who who pays for the fund and and you know, 2351 02:06:00.920 --> 02:06:03.319 my contention was let's do this at the state level. 2352 02:06:03.560 --> 02:06:05.840 There were others that would say, we'll have this done 2353 02:06:05.880 --> 02:06:11.119 at the county level. It's we're still trying to negotiate that. 2354 02:06:11.560 --> 02:06:13.960 I see. Now you mentioned the circuit breaker. Can you 2355 02:06:14.000 --> 02:06:15.239 explain that to my audience. 2356 02:06:16.800 --> 02:06:20.840 Yes, So, the way the circuit breaker operates is people 2357 02:06:21.319 --> 02:06:26.039 property taxes are you know, hated by people because they're 2358 02:06:26.079 --> 02:06:29.119 not tied in any way to your ability to pay. 2359 02:06:29.880 --> 02:06:34.279 So most seniors feel this when they, you know, they 2360 02:06:34.319 --> 02:06:37.199 retire and then all of a sudden twenty years later, 2361 02:06:37.319 --> 02:06:40.760 their fixed income is eroded, but yet their property taxes 2362 02:06:40.840 --> 02:06:44.399 keep rising and they find themselves unable to pay. What 2363 02:06:44.439 --> 02:06:49.199 the property tax circuit breaker does is caps the amount 2364 02:06:49.399 --> 02:06:55.319 of property taxes that you pay at a percentage of 2365 02:06:55.520 --> 02:06:59.199 your income. So, in other words, you, if you're making 2366 02:07:00.039 --> 02:07:03.359 fifty grand a year in retirement, the percentage in the 2367 02:07:03.399 --> 02:07:10.359 bill that we introduced is fixed at five percent if 2368 02:07:10.399 --> 02:07:14.239 you go. If your property tax burden rises above five 2369 02:07:14.279 --> 02:07:18.159 percent of your income, the circuit breaks and then the 2370 02:07:18.199 --> 02:07:22.239 state starts taking on the additional burden for that. So 2371 02:07:22.399 --> 02:07:26.880 you basically will never pay more property taxes than in 2372 02:07:27.000 --> 02:07:31.319 theory you can afford with that. The drawback of it 2373 02:07:31.359 --> 02:07:36.159 is is excuse me, it's an expensive program. But a 2374 02:07:36.239 --> 02:07:41.279 colleague of mind introduced legislation last YA that made this 2375 02:07:41.359 --> 02:07:45.960 revenue neutral. We paid for it by going after a 2376 02:07:46.079 --> 02:07:49.880 number of what we would consider corporate welfare pieces of 2377 02:07:50.840 --> 02:07:54.520 statute that really needed to be reworked in order to 2378 02:07:54.520 --> 02:07:58.319 provide relief to seniors in this Actually, although I shouldn't 2379 02:07:58.319 --> 02:08:01.199 say that that's relegated to just seniors, this would be 2380 02:08:01.399 --> 02:08:05.239 everybody within reason. I mean, there are guardrails if you 2381 02:08:05.319 --> 02:08:08.079 have a you know, two million dollar home and a 2382 02:08:08.079 --> 02:08:10.840 half a million dollar salary and retirement, Yeah, that the 2383 02:08:10.880 --> 02:08:14.239 circuit breaker is not going to apply to you fair enough. 2384 02:08:14.279 --> 02:08:18.119 And then the homestead expansion, just briefly, how does that work. 2385 02:08:19.880 --> 02:08:25.279 So right now the homestead exemption is now there's an 2386 02:08:25.279 --> 02:08:29.319 income limit and there's a benefit. So broadly speaking, the 2387 02:08:29.319 --> 02:08:33.159 benefit is a dollar amount that comes off your valuation. 2388 02:08:33.920 --> 02:08:36.399 So if you have a two hundred thousand dollars home, 2389 02:08:37.039 --> 02:08:40.359 homestead exemption is under thirty grand, but now it's adjusted 2390 02:08:40.359 --> 02:08:44.279 for inflation. So for ease of example, let's say it's 2391 02:08:44.279 --> 02:08:48.399 twenty five grand your home's value to two hundred thousand. 2392 02:08:48.560 --> 02:08:51.640 Let's say you qualify you're a senior over sixty five, 2393 02:08:51.840 --> 02:08:56.000 disabled veteran, there's some other widow of a disabled veteran. 2394 02:08:56.760 --> 02:08:59.439 You get that twenty five thousand off, so you're the 2395 02:08:59.520 --> 02:09:02.600 valuation of your home for tax purposes goes down to 2396 02:09:03.439 --> 02:09:07.600 one hundred and seventy five thousand, and you pay taxes 2397 02:09:07.840 --> 02:09:12.279 on that. So it's not a huge benefit. But the 2398 02:09:12.399 --> 02:09:16.600 caveat is that you can only get this if your 2399 02:09:16.640 --> 02:09:19.880 income is less than about thirty six thousand per year, 2400 02:09:19.920 --> 02:09:24.920 which really cuts off the vast majority of Ohioans. Not 2401 02:09:24.960 --> 02:09:28.800 only that it was universal at one point, so there 2402 02:09:28.840 --> 02:09:32.279 are some folks that make significantly more that are grandfathered in, 2403 02:09:33.720 --> 02:09:38.000 but in all cases it's really not the best benefit. 2404 02:09:38.119 --> 02:09:41.079 So the idea is with this legislation is to say, 2405 02:09:43.199 --> 02:09:48.880 look at this as a percentage of what you're actually taxed. 2406 02:09:49.520 --> 02:09:52.560 So if you pay over the course of a year 2407 02:09:52.680 --> 02:09:56.680 six thousand in property taxes and you qualify at the 2408 02:09:56.399 --> 02:10:01.119 lowest level, you might get twenty percent off your property taxes. 2409 02:10:01.119 --> 02:10:04.720 So if you're paying six thousand, you would be getting 2410 02:10:04.720 --> 02:10:08.640 a twelve thousand dollars benefit from the state. However, as 2411 02:10:08.760 --> 02:10:15.600 your income rises, that percentage drops. It's like a progressively 2412 02:10:15.680 --> 02:10:19.800 declining curve, so that you know by the time you 2413 02:10:19.880 --> 02:10:23.079 hit one hundred some thousand or more, you're not getting 2414 02:10:23.119 --> 02:10:26.159 any benefit. But the nice part about this is is 2415 02:10:26.159 --> 02:10:30.439 that since it's tied to median income and tied to 2416 02:10:30.760 --> 02:10:35.279 percentage of the property taxes that you actually pay, if 2417 02:10:35.319 --> 02:10:37.640 you're a senior on fixed income, that you know you're 2418 02:10:37.720 --> 02:10:40.720 right at the line towards the top. When you retire, 2419 02:10:41.880 --> 02:10:45.600 you actually start walking back up the curve as your 2420 02:10:45.760 --> 02:10:49.279 fixed income is eroded away, so your benefit actually grows 2421 02:10:50.399 --> 02:10:53.960 over time, which I think is a great way to 2422 02:10:53.960 --> 02:10:56.359 do this, and I think it would be significantly cheaper, 2423 02:10:56.359 --> 02:10:58.680 although we're still trying to find the cost estimate for this. 2424 02:10:58.880 --> 02:11:03.920 But again, the homestead exemption only applies to generally speaking 2425 02:11:04.399 --> 02:11:06.239 people over the age of sixty five. 2426 02:11:06.600 --> 02:11:08.479 All right, well, if you're concerned about your property taxes, 2427 02:11:08.520 --> 02:11:09.880 you want to learn a little bit more about this 2428 02:11:10.000 --> 02:11:13.920 and more lengthy conversation with Senator Bill Blessing taking place 2429 02:11:14.039 --> 02:11:17.279 Thursday night, that's March thirteenth, coming up seven pm. Is 2430 02:11:17.279 --> 02:11:19.920 beginning again Martice Thompson on what the eighteen fifty one 2431 02:11:19.960 --> 02:11:22.039 center con law is doing. That'll start at seven and 2432 02:11:22.079 --> 02:11:25.359 Bill will take over at seven thirty for a full hour. 2433 02:11:26.880 --> 02:11:29.279 So I just make pivot over real quick here. You 2434 02:11:29.479 --> 02:11:32.479 are one of the bipartisan sponsors are behind the bill 2435 02:11:32.880 --> 02:11:35.239 to pay for students to have a free breakfast and 2436 02:11:35.359 --> 02:11:38.640 lunch at school. Can you explain your motivations behind this 2437 02:11:38.760 --> 02:11:41.319 and how much is it going to cost? I have 2438 02:11:41.399 --> 02:11:43.840 to observe, this doesn't sound like a thing usually a 2439 02:11:43.880 --> 02:11:48.479 Republican would embrace. So what's the motive the motive behind this? 2440 02:11:48.560 --> 02:11:50.560 And I've had some of my listeners say that out loud. 2441 02:11:50.600 --> 02:11:53.359 That's why I'm asking on their behalf. But in this 2442 02:11:53.640 --> 02:11:56.359 as the way the article reads from the Ohio Capital Journal, 2443 02:11:56.399 --> 02:12:00.399 this is a free lunch and breakfast for all students. 2444 02:12:01.079 --> 02:12:05.159 Yes, that's correct. So let me step back for a moment. 2445 02:12:05.239 --> 02:12:09.680 It's the cost of this is so this is the 2446 02:12:09.720 --> 02:12:11.800 Senate built one oh nine for those who want to 2447 02:12:11.880 --> 02:12:16.039 research democrat out again per fiscal year. But I have 2448 02:12:16.199 --> 02:12:18.279 to add a caveat to that because there's been some 2449 02:12:18.319 --> 02:12:21.279 confusion for folks who have reached out to my office 2450 02:12:21.279 --> 02:12:24.680 and have said, well, you know, we pay en up 2451 02:12:24.720 --> 02:12:27.079 in property taxes for school, we don't want to pay 2452 02:12:27.119 --> 02:12:31.960 more property taxes for this. Very briefly, this will not 2453 02:12:32.279 --> 02:12:36.479 raise your property taxes. This would be entirely state funded. 2454 02:12:37.319 --> 02:12:40.439 And you know, once again like the property tax circuit breaker, 2455 02:12:40.560 --> 02:12:43.520 we had a bill last General Assembly that made this 2456 02:12:44.319 --> 02:12:49.479 revenue neutral, so it was already paid for. But the 2457 02:12:49.560 --> 02:12:54.199 advocates of this particular program, in light of the fact 2458 02:12:54.199 --> 02:12:59.079 that we're in budget season, wanted something introduced for public inspection, 2459 02:12:59.279 --> 02:13:03.800 and they wanted it clean, no other elements in there. 2460 02:13:03.840 --> 02:13:06.000 Which admittedly, the bill that we had last year that 2461 02:13:06.039 --> 02:13:08.279 paid for this was what I would consider sort of 2462 02:13:08.279 --> 02:13:12.359 a mini budget. But the motivation for this is simple 2463 02:13:12.399 --> 02:13:14.880 that when you look at a lot of the administrative 2464 02:13:14.920 --> 02:13:19.439 burden behind doing something like this with respect to free 2465 02:13:19.439 --> 02:13:23.479 and reduced lunch. That adds a significant cost to this, 2466 02:13:24.359 --> 02:13:28.479 and in the end, it's actually pretty cheap just to 2467 02:13:28.560 --> 02:13:33.960 have it universal and end a lot of the stigma 2468 02:13:34.000 --> 02:13:37.279 behind this, which is one of the reasons why we're 2469 02:13:37.319 --> 02:13:40.720 doing this. But more importantly, I think that it's also 2470 02:13:41.479 --> 02:13:45.319 something that I think will reduce truancy. Because the income 2471 02:13:45.359 --> 02:13:48.800 limits for free and reduced lunch aren't exactly high, there's 2472 02:13:48.840 --> 02:13:51.800 a lot of lower middle class parents that would be 2473 02:13:51.840 --> 02:13:57.239 included in this. Beyond that, when we talk about tax 2474 02:13:57.279 --> 02:13:59.800 cuts at the state, at the state level, and we 2475 02:13:59.880 --> 02:14:04.119 have a number of people you know that that look 2476 02:14:04.199 --> 02:14:06.640 at a top rate income tax cut and they're like, well, 2477 02:14:06.680 --> 02:14:10.760 how does this benefit us? It really, it really doesn't. 2478 02:14:10.800 --> 02:14:13.680 And we as families pay a significant amount of money 2479 02:14:14.239 --> 02:14:16.520 to raise our children. And yes, I understand that not 2480 02:14:16.600 --> 02:14:21.720 everybody has children, and you know, but this would be 2481 02:14:21.760 --> 02:14:26.119 a significant benefit to families, which frankly, you know, my party, 2482 02:14:26.560 --> 02:14:30.079 Republican Party, we we pay a lot of lip service 2483 02:14:30.159 --> 02:14:34.319 to and for parents. I have universally heard on both 2484 02:14:34.319 --> 02:14:38.199 sides of the aisle that they liked this idea because 2485 02:14:38.319 --> 02:14:40.680 it you know, it's a tax cut to them, and 2486 02:14:40.880 --> 02:14:44.840 at the same time it also absolves them of a 2487 02:14:44.840 --> 02:14:47.560 lot of things that are quite difficult actually as parents. 2488 02:14:47.600 --> 02:14:50.039 I mean I have three boys myself, and you know, 2489 02:14:50.319 --> 02:14:53.600 packing the lunch in the evening for them, you know, 2490 02:14:53.800 --> 02:14:56.560 getting them up and getting them breakfast in the morning. 2491 02:14:57.119 --> 02:14:59.279 That all would be taken care of at the school. 2492 02:15:00.239 --> 02:15:03.439 And it actually achieves an economy of scale from that standpoint. 2493 02:15:03.479 --> 02:15:06.279 So it's expensive obviously for parents to you know, buy 2494 02:15:07.000 --> 02:15:11.159 school lunches and breakfasts and prepare them at home. Having 2495 02:15:11.159 --> 02:15:13.399 this done at the school level I think would be 2496 02:15:13.479 --> 02:15:18.600 ultimately cheaper for parents and for the state. So yes, 2497 02:15:18.680 --> 02:15:21.840 I do understand that there are people that disagree with this. 2498 02:15:22.079 --> 02:15:25.840 They think, you know, this is more government in their lives. 2499 02:15:25.880 --> 02:15:30.800 But bear in mind that with respect to you know, 2500 02:15:30.920 --> 02:15:32.840 the idea of a common good, I mean, we do 2501 02:15:32.960 --> 02:15:37.119 have that in K through twelve public schools where you 2502 02:15:37.239 --> 02:15:43.159 are constitutionally guaranteed a public education. In this state. There's 2503 02:15:43.199 --> 02:15:46.960 a lot of research about kids struggling to learn if 2504 02:15:47.000 --> 02:15:51.039 they're not well fed. This makes an attempt to bolster 2505 02:15:51.319 --> 02:15:54.800 our public education system. So in other words, your education 2506 02:15:55.039 --> 02:15:57.800 is already free in the sense at the point of sale. 2507 02:15:57.840 --> 02:15:59.399 I mean, the state does pay for it, and so 2508 02:15:59.439 --> 02:16:05.199 do property taxes. Adding school lunches to this is, in 2509 02:16:05.199 --> 02:16:06.720 my opinion, the logical next step. 2510 02:16:07.039 --> 02:16:09.720 Okay, I just some people say, well, listen, you know, 2511 02:16:09.760 --> 02:16:12.760 folks on Life's Margins, they had the SNAP program. They're 2512 02:16:12.760 --> 02:16:15.119 capable of buying food and preparing lunch. You know, my 2513 02:16:15.199 --> 02:16:17.000 mom will always packed me a lunch and she got 2514 02:16:17.000 --> 02:16:19.920 to select what we ate. The food offerings at school 2515 02:16:19.960 --> 02:16:22.279 weren't exactly the best when I was going to school. 2516 02:16:22.279 --> 02:16:24.279 And I'm not sure what sort of nutritional guidelines you're 2517 02:16:24.279 --> 02:16:25.720 going to have on this, but I'd like to think 2518 02:16:25.920 --> 02:16:28.079 if you're going to be providing a free lunch to everybody, 2519 02:16:28.239 --> 02:16:30.279 at least will be subject to maybe some sort of 2520 02:16:30.520 --> 02:16:35.479 RFK junior type quality of foods as opposed to the 2521 02:16:35.559 --> 02:16:38.200 stuff that we're normally accustomed to in a school lunch line. 2522 02:16:39.760 --> 02:16:43.520 Yeah, there are rules to it now, they're supposed to 2523 02:16:43.559 --> 02:16:47.399 be somewhat healthy. I mean, I don't have the details 2524 02:16:47.399 --> 02:16:50.440 on the top of my head on that, but you know, 2525 02:16:50.520 --> 02:16:52.879 certainly we can make that more strict at the state 2526 02:16:52.959 --> 02:16:56.319 level if we need to. But even then, in the end, 2527 02:16:56.479 --> 02:17:01.440 having a kid said, is in my opinion, better than 2528 02:17:01.479 --> 02:17:05.559 having them not fed and trying to sit through class 2529 02:17:05.639 --> 02:17:08.559 just thinking about one and only thing, which is I 2530 02:17:08.600 --> 02:17:11.959 need to eat. But you're right, I don't. I mean, 2531 02:17:12.000 --> 02:17:14.280 I for what it's worth, I think there would be 2532 02:17:14.319 --> 02:17:17.559 a lot of local outcry if if the schools school districts, 2533 02:17:17.559 --> 02:17:21.200 for example, decided that, you know, we're just going to 2534 02:17:21.280 --> 02:17:24.200 serve donuts in the morning because that's cheap processed food. 2535 02:17:24.879 --> 02:17:27.639 I just, you know, to the extent that we need 2536 02:17:27.680 --> 02:17:31.440 to at guardrails, that's fine, But I just I struggle 2537 02:17:31.479 --> 02:17:33.920 to believe that they would go ahead and do that. 2538 02:17:33.959 --> 02:17:36.040 And oh there's real real quick. One thing I did 2539 02:17:36.079 --> 02:17:39.399 forget to say about this. This isn't just public schools. 2540 02:17:39.399 --> 02:17:42.840 This would also be you know, chartered on public So 2541 02:17:42.920 --> 02:17:46.840 your Catholic schools would be uh would be receiving this 2542 02:17:46.920 --> 02:17:48.079 as well, all. 2543 02:17:48.040 --> 02:17:49.799 Right, but not not homeschools. 2544 02:17:51.600 --> 02:17:55.040 No, no, no, no, no, no, right, that's correct. And 2545 02:17:55.120 --> 02:17:57.399 you would you would want some sort of physical presence. 2546 02:17:57.479 --> 02:18:02.280 Yeah, that's right, Senator Bill Blessing, Do you have widespread 2547 02:18:02.280 --> 02:18:04.159 support for this? Is this a sure thing that's going 2548 02:18:04.200 --> 02:18:05.639 to go through or is there going to be some 2549 02:18:05.639 --> 02:18:07.559 pushback from. 2550 02:18:07.760 --> 02:18:12.879 Oh, there's pushback, so from at the legislative level. That's 2551 02:18:12.920 --> 02:18:18.000 where I've gotten the most pushback. So the governor has 2552 02:18:18.040 --> 02:18:22.040 said that he supports this, but says we we can't 2553 02:18:22.040 --> 02:18:25.319 afford it, which I challenge him on that, because we 2554 02:18:25.520 --> 02:18:29.040 you know, in the budget we do have that five 2555 02:18:29.040 --> 02:18:36.680 thousand dollars childcare tax credit piece. There's you know a 2556 02:18:36.760 --> 02:18:38.520 number of other provisions that he's trying to do for 2557 02:18:38.600 --> 02:18:41.760 families that probably have similar costs. Just the choice of 2558 02:18:41.799 --> 02:18:46.799 what we want to do. The bigger concern is Speaker 2559 02:18:46.959 --> 02:18:50.000 Matt Huffman, who I don't believe that he wants to 2560 02:18:50.040 --> 02:18:53.719 do it. He made he made the argument that well, 2561 02:18:53.760 --> 02:18:56.600 you know they get these free breakfasts and lunches, they 2562 02:18:56.639 --> 02:18:58.000 may not want them. The kids are just going to 2563 02:18:58.079 --> 02:18:59.639 throw them away and that's going to lead to a 2564 02:18:59.680 --> 02:19:05.120 lot of a food waste. And I kind of chockoled, Well, 2565 02:19:05.639 --> 02:19:08.399 if you know you can't, you can. You can lead 2566 02:19:08.399 --> 02:19:10.239 a horse to water, you can't make them drink. I 2567 02:19:10.280 --> 02:19:12.559 remember in grade school myself a number of times that 2568 02:19:12.600 --> 02:19:15.360 I had a PB and J sandwich that turned into 2569 02:19:15.840 --> 02:19:19.159 I guess a PB and J crape. YEP, it was 2570 02:19:19.200 --> 02:19:21.040 all smashed up and I would end up throwing it 2571 02:19:21.040 --> 02:19:24.239 away because I'm not eating that. But you know, at 2572 02:19:24.280 --> 02:19:28.000 least being paid to make the attempt I think is 2573 02:19:28.559 --> 02:19:30.440 worth it. And frankly, I'm sure there's a lot of 2574 02:19:30.440 --> 02:19:32.920 food waste that you know, their parents have all the 2575 02:19:32.959 --> 02:19:36.000 good intentions of giving them, you know, green beans, I 2576 02:19:36.000 --> 02:19:40.079 think was the example that Speaker Hoffman used. Uh yeah, 2577 02:19:40.159 --> 02:19:43.200 the kids see that and there there. You know, you'd 2578 02:19:43.200 --> 02:19:45.000 hope that they would eat it, but chances are they 2579 02:19:45.040 --> 02:19:45.280 may not. 2580 02:19:46.239 --> 02:19:50.399 Well, that's why I suggested really healthy food options only 2581 02:19:50.479 --> 02:19:52.799 in the free school lunch and they either you either 2582 02:19:52.840 --> 02:19:54.920 eat it or you don't. You know, there's got to 2583 02:19:54.920 --> 02:19:56.319 be some tough love in the room if we're looking 2584 02:19:56.319 --> 02:19:58.360 out for our children's self. We do have a massive 2585 02:19:58.399 --> 02:20:02.120 obesity crisis in this country.

With iHeart media aviation expert Jay Ratliff. Welcome back, 2614 02:21:22.520 --> 02:21:24.360 my dear friend Jay. It's always a pleasure to have 2615 02:21:24.399 --> 02:21:25.200 you on the morning show. 2616 02:21:25.879 --> 02:21:26.719 Pleasing, good morning. 2617 02:21:27.000 --> 02:21:28.440 Let's start out of order because I want to give 2618 02:21:28.440 --> 02:21:30.079 a little more time to the first story about the 2619 02:21:30.159 --> 02:21:32.399 passenger shaming. Let's just jump to one that made the 2620 02:21:32.399 --> 02:21:36.559 stack as stupid this week Air India passengers stopping up 2621 02:21:36.600 --> 02:21:40.719 the toilets on the airplane. What the hell, Brian, I've. 2622 02:21:40.639 --> 02:21:42.799 Said this before, I'll say it again. You'll never hear 2623 02:21:42.879 --> 02:21:45.760 me make that arrogant claim of well, I've seen it 2624 02:21:45.799 --> 02:21:50.200 all because fails to recognize people can still come up 2625 02:21:50.239 --> 02:21:53.079 with ways to surprise us. And this stems from a 2626 02:21:53.120 --> 02:21:58.079 fourteen hour scheduled flight from Chicago to Delhi. Win eight 2627 02:21:58.120 --> 02:22:01.120 of the twelve laboratories and yes, I said eight of 2628 02:22:01.159 --> 02:22:05.399 the twelve stopped working because passengers had flushed. 2629 02:22:05.040 --> 02:22:10.520 Clothing down the lavatories. Now, I remember a number. 2630 02:22:10.280 --> 02:22:13.040 Of years ago with Gilbert and Narley, with our friend 2631 02:22:13.040 --> 02:22:16.200 Gary Burbank, he called one of the airlines panic that 2632 02:22:16.280 --> 02:22:19.799 he had he was in trouble with the law because 2633 02:22:19.840 --> 02:22:22.840 he flushed a foreign objects down the toilet, and it 2634 02:22:22.879 --> 02:22:24.959 was a chicklet made in Mexico. And he thought for 2635 02:22:25.000 --> 02:22:28.159 sure he'd broken some sort of FAA rule because there 2636 02:22:28.239 --> 02:22:30.959 is a sign in the lavatory saying no foreign objects 2637 02:22:31.600 --> 02:22:34.719 in the lavatories. I guess we need to expand that, 2638 02:22:35.680 --> 02:22:39.239 my attorney friends to clothing is not allowed down. I 2639 02:22:39.319 --> 02:22:42.159 just you know, well, I went around the industry since 2640 02:22:42.200 --> 02:22:45.319 October of eighty one. I've never heard of a story 2641 02:22:45.360 --> 02:22:49.840 where the clothing caused the laboratory to stop working. Certainly 2642 02:22:49.879 --> 02:22:52.200 not at eight of the twelve. 2643 02:22:51.639 --> 02:22:54.079 Okay, the flight, and see now that was my point 2644 02:22:54.079 --> 02:22:56.000 because I wanted to ask you about that. This sounds like, 2645 02:22:56.159 --> 02:22:58.600 you know, it was a concerted effort. It was an 2646 02:22:58.639 --> 02:23:01.559 intentional thing to sabbage ties to toilets for some reason. 2647 02:23:01.840 --> 02:23:04.479 I don't know if it's sabotaged, Brian, or if it's 2648 02:23:04.479 --> 02:23:07.360 a thing that I'm just oblivious to. But they were 2649 02:23:07.479 --> 02:23:10.079 five hours into the fourteen hour flight, and they turned 2650 02:23:10.120 --> 02:23:10.840 around and came. 2651 02:23:10.719 --> 02:23:11.920 All the way back to Chicago. 2652 02:23:12.639 --> 02:23:14.680 Because anytime we're on a flight where you don't have 2653 02:23:15.200 --> 02:23:18.200 an appropriate number of lavoratories that are operational, you're not 2654 02:23:18.479 --> 02:23:22.159 to operate the flight. So at that point in time, 2655 02:23:22.280 --> 02:23:24.840 it was it's quicker to go back and land than 2656 02:23:24.840 --> 02:23:27.280 it is to go forward in land. And to think 2657 02:23:27.319 --> 02:23:30.040 that it wasn't a mechanical situation with the lavatories, which 2658 02:23:30.079 --> 02:23:33.159 happens from time to time, but it was the fact 2659 02:23:33.159 --> 02:23:36.760 that people were flushing clothing down the last When the 2660 02:23:36.760 --> 02:23:40.799 story hit my desk, I thought, okay, this is you know, 2661 02:23:40.879 --> 02:23:44.079 somebody's having fun with something, because this isn't a real thing. 2662 02:23:44.360 --> 02:23:47.520 And I saw report after report after report after report, 2663 02:23:48.280 --> 02:23:51.280 and yeah, because I'm always very guarded on anything you 2664 02:23:51.319 --> 02:23:52.719 and I talk about, I want to make sure that 2665 02:23:52.760 --> 02:23:54.600 I've got all the facts, and. 2666 02:23:54.440 --> 02:23:55.680 This one just blew me away. 2667 02:23:55.719 --> 02:23:58.639 But yeah, eight of twelve laboratories on the Boeing Triple 2668 02:23:58.680 --> 02:24:02.879 seven in opera because of clothing that people had flushed. 2669 02:24:03.239 --> 02:24:04.280 Down the lamage. 2670 02:24:04.799 --> 02:24:07.200 Again, it made the stack as stupid earlier this week, 2671 02:24:07.399 --> 02:24:09.840 we'll pause and bring Jay Ratler back, talker, is it 2672 02:24:09.920 --> 02:24:13.760 actionable to passenger shame plus a lot more. I'll be 2673 02:24:13.879 --> 02:24:15.120 right back after these brief words. 2674 02:24:15.600 --> 02:24:17.639 Fifty five KRC dot com. 2675 02:24:17.680 --> 02:24:19.600 All right, Gary self, it here for shut off TV 2676 02:24:19.760 --> 02:24:23.559 talk station. It is a Friday. He always enjoyed clothing 2677 02:24:23.600 --> 02:24:25.879 up to get the bout Teressey morning shows on Thursdays 2678 02:24:25.879 --> 02:24:29.280 with iheartmediaviah next work Jay Ratlo. So let's resume the 2679 02:24:29.360 --> 02:24:32.079 conversation and this next topic goes back to an incident 2680 02:24:32.159 --> 02:24:35.559 I think that happened in December. Remind my listeners about that, 2681 02:24:35.639 --> 02:24:37.440 and we've got a new development on it, which is 2682 02:24:38.360 --> 02:24:39.319 well a lawsuit. 2683 02:24:40.079 --> 02:24:42.120 Yeah, it's a twenty nine year old She was flying 2684 02:24:42.159 --> 02:24:47.000 low cost carrier South American carrier gall Col. She boarded 2685 02:24:47.040 --> 02:24:49.959 her flight Brian, she noticed that a child he was 2686 02:24:50.200 --> 02:24:53.360 seated in her window seat. She asked the child, you know, 2687 02:24:53.399 --> 02:24:56.200 if she could sit there, and he moved. Everything was 2688 02:24:56.319 --> 02:24:59.120 nice and once the passenger sat down, the mom of 2689 02:24:59.159 --> 02:25:01.159 the child approach saying, hey, is it okay if my 2690 02:25:01.239 --> 02:25:04.879 son sits in your seat? Now, apparently he had another seat, 2691 02:25:04.920 --> 02:25:08.920 another window seat, but he preferred her seat, and this 2692 02:25:09.639 --> 02:25:14.040 traveler polightly refused, saying no, I'm just gonna sit here, 2693 02:25:14.319 --> 02:25:17.159 And that's when the moms started yelling at her and 2694 02:25:17.559 --> 02:25:20.079 takes out her phone and starts recording her. Thinks she 2695 02:25:20.200 --> 02:25:23.239 was a bad person. Well, this video, as most travel 2696 02:25:23.840 --> 02:25:27.600 videos do, went viral more than two million views, and 2697 02:25:27.639 --> 02:25:30.159 this woman was forced to quit her job as a banker, 2698 02:25:30.639 --> 02:25:33.159 lived in seclusion at her home. 2699 02:25:32.959 --> 02:25:33.680 As a result. 2700 02:25:34.079 --> 02:25:36.319 And now she's seen the airline and the passenger who 2701 02:25:36.360 --> 02:25:38.920 took the video saying they were trying to shame her 2702 02:25:38.920 --> 02:25:41.520 when all she was trying to do was sit in 2703 02:25:41.600 --> 02:25:44.520 the seat she had paid for. And we're seeing so 2704 02:25:44.639 --> 02:25:46.840 many times I hear from somebody I know at least 2705 02:25:46.879 --> 02:25:49.680 once a week that's on a flight where there's normally 2706 02:25:49.920 --> 02:25:52.760 a family of a bunch that bored and they started 2707 02:25:52.799 --> 02:25:54.959 asking a bunch of people to change their seats that 2708 02:25:55.000 --> 02:25:57.840 they paid for to accommodate them so they can all 2709 02:25:57.920 --> 02:26:00.639 sit together. Now keep in mind, this family could have 2710 02:26:01.600 --> 02:26:03.879 gotten the seeds together, could have paid whatever they had 2711 02:26:03.920 --> 02:26:07.200 for the family to sit together. But somehow we're the 2712 02:26:07.239 --> 02:26:10.040 bad guys when we say no, thank you and bright. 2713 02:26:10.079 --> 02:26:13.639 Some of these requests are so ridiculous. It's like, can 2714 02:26:13.680 --> 02:26:16.280 I have your aisle seat in row eight so you 2715 02:26:16.319 --> 02:26:18.079 can sit in my middle seat in row third? 2716 02:26:18.120 --> 02:26:21.120 Oh yeah, yeah, that's a hard no. 2717 02:26:21.440 --> 02:26:24.879 But people are upset when you say no to that. 2718 02:26:24.959 --> 02:26:26.079 I mean, I just you know. 2719 02:26:26.280 --> 02:26:30.280 And sadly, this is getting more and more prevalent as 2720 02:26:30.399 --> 02:26:33.879 the behavior on board airplanes continues to spiral. 2721 02:26:33.920 --> 02:26:35.200 In fact, a term you're. 2722 02:26:35.040 --> 02:26:37.440 Gonna We've talked about gate liights, the people that tried 2723 02:26:37.440 --> 02:26:40.520 to board the flight earlier. Yeah, they're supposed to. There's 2724 02:26:40.559 --> 02:26:43.959 a new term out there that's called speakers gum. These 2725 02:26:43.959 --> 02:26:46.079 are people that are on board an airplane that fail 2726 02:26:46.159 --> 02:26:50.120 to use their earbuds air buds where they have the 2727 02:26:50.280 --> 02:26:53.920 recording the noise just to them, not to everybody else. 2728 02:26:54.440 --> 02:26:56.360 Right now, we've got so many people on planes that, 2729 02:26:56.399 --> 02:27:00.280 for whatever the reason, just play. They're elect on a 2730 02:27:00.319 --> 02:27:03.200 device at high volumes where it's not only where they 2731 02:27:03.239 --> 02:27:05.799 can hear it, but everybody was in seven rows and 2732 02:27:05.879 --> 02:27:07.760 if light intents are trying to tell the people to 2733 02:27:07.760 --> 02:27:09.959 stop it. But we're seeing more and more of that 2734 02:27:10.079 --> 02:27:12.920 kind of behavior. So it's getting to the point where 2735 02:27:12.959 --> 02:27:17.559 it's just absolutely ridiculous to fly. And yeah, I mean 2736 02:27:17.879 --> 02:27:20.440 speakers come if you hear that, that's what they're talking about. 2737 02:27:20.520 --> 02:27:21.879 I always learn a new term from you. I think 2738 02:27:21.879 --> 02:27:23.959 this has become a common occurrence with you, Jay Ratliff. 2739 02:27:24.639 --> 02:27:25.719 I'm not making these up. 2740 02:27:26.000 --> 02:27:28.360 It's sad that we have behavior so bad we have 2741 02:27:28.479 --> 02:27:30.639 to assign names to it, but hey, that's what we do. 2742 02:27:30.799 --> 02:27:34.639 Yeah, and don't be that person. You know, if you 2743 02:27:34.680 --> 02:27:37.159 were on an airplane, would you want someone playing their 2744 02:27:37.200 --> 02:27:40.440 favorite music which might you might find offensive or not 2745 02:27:40.479 --> 02:27:43.639 within your liking, sitting next to you? And that is 2746 02:27:43.680 --> 02:27:45.399 just the most inconsiderate thing. 2747 02:27:45.520 --> 02:27:48.959 Jay, Yeah, well you and I can't comprehend it because 2748 02:27:49.000 --> 02:27:51.799 I know how you were raised. I know, yes, there's 2749 02:27:51.879 --> 02:27:53.159 no way on God's green. 2750 02:27:52.959 --> 02:27:53.799 Earth we would do that. 2751 02:27:54.239 --> 02:27:57.079 But the idea that not only do people feel comfortable 2752 02:27:57.120 --> 02:28:00.840 doing it, they take exception when you add them to please, 2753 02:28:00.920 --> 02:28:03.360 could you turn that down? So you know only four 2754 02:28:03.479 --> 02:28:04.959 rows can hear it instead of seven. 2755 02:28:05.079 --> 02:28:06.280 It's just yeah. 2756 02:28:06.479 --> 02:28:08.959 Now there's been times where you have people on board 2757 02:28:09.000 --> 02:28:13.000 the airplane decide to watch porn in the flighty and 2758 02:28:13.079 --> 02:28:16.959 say would you please turn that off? Because other passengers 2759 02:28:17.159 --> 02:28:21.399 could find it defensive. So you just have this behavior 2760 02:28:21.559 --> 02:28:26.040 that is just permeating from flights these days that you know, yes, 2761 02:28:26.120 --> 02:28:29.840 the number of irate passengers is down compared to years before, 2762 02:28:30.319 --> 02:28:32.879 but some of this behavior is just beyond my ability 2763 02:28:32.920 --> 02:28:35.680 to comprehend because I don't think that way, and thank 2764 02:28:35.680 --> 02:28:37.840 God I don't think that way because it just makes 2765 02:28:37.840 --> 02:28:38.479 no sense to me. 2766 02:28:39.239 --> 02:28:42.360 I am still reeling when you said someone had the 2767 02:28:42.399 --> 02:28:45.840 audacity to watch porn on an air airplane lord a 2768 02:28:46.239 --> 02:28:48.040 regular occurrence. Oh my god. 2769 02:28:48.520 --> 02:28:51.079 And you and I've talked about these flight attendants already 2770 02:28:51.079 --> 02:28:53.600 not getting the respect that they deserve from the people 2771 02:28:53.639 --> 02:28:56.600 who fly that are responsible for protecting against in an 2772 02:28:56.639 --> 02:28:59.239 emergency and all the things they have to do. Just 2773 02:28:59.360 --> 02:29:01.959 add that on top of it, where they have to 2774 02:29:01.959 --> 02:29:04.040 tell people to try to act in something that would 2775 02:29:04.079 --> 02:29:06.760 be considered a civil fashion of some kind. 2776 02:29:06.959 --> 02:29:09.040 I don't know, I just you know. 2777 02:29:09.200 --> 02:29:11.840 That's why they continue to get my undying gratitude because 2778 02:29:11.879 --> 02:29:14.200 of the crap they have to put up with people that. 2779 02:29:14.159 --> 02:29:15.440 Fly every day.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC 2807 02:30:32.000 --> 02:30:36.440 the talk station, Hey. 2808 02:30:36.239 --> 02:30:38.040 Forty nine, I think you have a KIRCD talk station. 2809 02:30:38.280 --> 02:30:42.159 One more with iHeart mediaviation expert Jay Ratlift All right, 2810 02:30:42.159 --> 02:30:45.959 moving over, got a new in Southwest Airlines baggage policy. 2811 02:30:46.200 --> 02:30:48.920 They're you know, bags fly free right well, as of 2812 02:30:49.200 --> 02:30:52.040 May I think twenty sixth or twenty eighth, that's. 2813 02:30:51.879 --> 02:30:52.600 Not going to be the case. 2814 02:30:52.680 --> 02:30:55.360 Southwest has announced that they're going to have to start 2815 02:30:55.479 --> 02:30:59.239 charging for checked bags. And this is after fifty four 2816 02:30:59.319 --> 02:31:02.159 years of bag fly free. Now, if you are a 2817 02:31:02.159 --> 02:31:05.040 member of their frequent flyer program, I believe you're still 2818 02:31:05.040 --> 02:31:07.360 going to get the two bags if you have the 2819 02:31:07.440 --> 02:31:11.000 credit card for through Southwest, I think one bag, but 2820 02:31:11.040 --> 02:31:15.120 everyone else is going to be paying for the further bags. 2821 02:31:15.159 --> 02:31:20.399 And of course, you know, Southwest is seen for years airlines, 2822 02:31:20.760 --> 02:31:24.440 they're competitors making hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions 2823 02:31:24.440 --> 02:31:27.280 of dollars a year in bag faith and they have 2824 02:31:27.399 --> 02:31:29.079 constantly consistently said. 2825 02:31:28.840 --> 02:31:30.280 No, we're not going to do that. 2826 02:31:30.840 --> 02:31:33.280 Well, the Elliott management group, who came in to try 2827 02:31:33.319 --> 02:31:36.799 to do hostile takeover here a while back, has really 2828 02:31:36.840 --> 02:31:40.520 forced Southwest into adopting things they had not done before, 2829 02:31:40.879 --> 02:31:42.959 such as a signed seating which is supposed to begin 2830 02:31:43.000 --> 02:31:46.639 sometime next year, premium seats where people can pay for 2831 02:31:46.760 --> 02:31:50.680 more leg room, and now for bags that the passengers 2832 02:31:50.719 --> 02:31:52.360 are going to have to pay for and we don't 2833 02:31:52.399 --> 02:31:54.559 know yet what the cost is going to be, but 2834 02:31:54.840 --> 02:31:57.719 it is a it's a step the Southwest had to take, 2835 02:31:58.120 --> 02:32:00.760 and pretty much my only surprise is that. 2836 02:32:01.680 --> 02:32:02.399 It took so long. 2837 02:32:02.799 --> 02:32:05.000 I thought they would have done this years ago because 2838 02:32:05.200 --> 02:32:06.040 Southwest used. 2839 02:32:05.959 --> 02:32:07.079 To make money falling out of BED. 2840 02:32:07.159 --> 02:32:10.040 I mean, they would make money when everybody else was 2841 02:32:10.079 --> 02:32:11.680 losing money decade after decade. 2842 02:32:12.760 --> 02:32:13.760 But the problem is. 2843 02:32:13.680 --> 02:32:18.639 That right now they changed their business practice. They used 2844 02:32:18.639 --> 02:32:21.399 to be successful in flying in and out of smaller, 2845 02:32:21.600 --> 02:32:24.760 not regional airports, but smaller airports where they could get 2846 02:32:24.760 --> 02:32:29.120 in and out quickly, limited flight activity, very few, little congestion, 2847 02:32:29.719 --> 02:32:32.040 and they could use that silver revenue tube for five 2848 02:32:32.120 --> 02:32:32.920 segments a day. 2849 02:32:33.440 --> 02:32:35.280 Well, then they decided, well, we're going to go to 2850 02:32:35.360 --> 02:32:37.879 La Guardian, We're going to fly in out of Atlanta, We're. 2851 02:32:37.719 --> 02:32:39.639 Going to do this, this and this, and now they're 2852 02:32:39.680 --> 02:32:41.600 dealing with airports that are known for some of their 2853 02:32:41.760 --> 02:32:45.079 flying delays. And now that aircraft can't be used for 2854 02:32:45.120 --> 02:32:47.360 five segments a day, it's three or four, and all 2855 02:32:47.399 --> 02:32:50.360 of a sudden they start making much less in revenue. Well, 2856 02:32:50.399 --> 02:32:52.600 obviously they're hurting. And this is a step that they're 2857 02:32:52.600 --> 02:32:54.159 going to be taking to try to get it back, 2858 02:32:54.559 --> 02:32:59.200 and of course passengers are either understanding or kicked because 2859 02:32:59.239 --> 02:33:01.879 now they have to pays. Well, you had fifty four years, 2860 02:33:01.920 --> 02:33:04.079 come on. And the other thing is I like that 2861 02:33:04.280 --> 02:33:07.799 Amtrak had fun with this. They put out a tweet saying, 2862 02:33:07.840 --> 02:33:10.200 I guess we're the only ones where bags to go free, 2863 02:33:10.280 --> 02:33:13.440 so come on. So I love it when a business. 2864 02:33:13.040 --> 02:33:13.879 Has fun like that. 2865 02:33:14.200 --> 02:33:16.879 Yeah, but the Amtrak train will most likely be delayed 2866 02:33:16.959 --> 02:33:19.920 and those always yeah, yeah, yeah. 2867 02:33:19.760 --> 02:33:20.600 This is all true. 2868 02:33:20.600 --> 02:33:23.000 But I'm still going to give them credit for having fun. 2869 02:33:23.280 --> 02:33:27.799 Oh yeah, I'm glad Southwest is making the changes they 2870 02:33:27.840 --> 02:33:30.760 need to make because they're a great airline. They have 2871 02:33:30.879 --> 02:33:34.680 been struggling over a lot of different self inflicted issues 2872 02:33:35.040 --> 02:33:38.159 over the last several years, and they're trying to turn 2873 02:33:38.200 --> 02:33:39.799 things around, and I think that they're going to be 2874 02:33:39.799 --> 02:33:40.399 able to do it. 2875 02:33:40.479 --> 02:33:41.959 And look, this is an. 2876 02:33:41.879 --> 02:33:46.760 Airline that the passengers are the employees rather At one time, 2877 02:33:46.959 --> 02:33:49.200 they only had four airplanes in the early early days, 2878 02:33:49.200 --> 02:33:50.879 and for them to make money, they had to turn 2879 02:33:50.920 --> 02:33:56.319 that airplane in ten minutes, that's six hundred seconds. 2880 02:33:56.879 --> 02:33:58.280 And they found a way to make it happen. 2881 02:33:58.360 --> 02:33:58.719 Yeah, now. 2882 02:33:58.760 --> 02:34:00.719 A lot of times they were business and a lot 2883 02:34:00.760 --> 02:34:03.040 of things have changed since those early days. But the 2884 02:34:03.040 --> 02:34:05.959 bottom line is, if anybody can pull this turnaround off, 2885 02:34:06.319 --> 02:34:08.559 it's going to be the people at Southwest Airlines. 2886 02:34:08.920 --> 02:34:10.799 All right, Well, just in time for summer travel and 2887 02:34:10.879 --> 02:34:13.680 vacation season, airlines are reducing summer capacity. 2888 02:34:14.319 --> 02:34:14.479 Yeah. 2889 02:34:14.479 --> 02:34:17.719 In fact, Delta now late last week that they are 2890 02:34:17.920 --> 02:34:22.000 reducing their future guidance. They're slashing some of those expectations 2891 02:34:22.000 --> 02:34:24.639 in half. So as a result, they're saying that the 2892 02:34:24.680 --> 02:34:26.840 economy is starting to slow or the future demand for 2893 02:34:26.879 --> 02:34:29.559 travel is slowing, so they, as a result, are going 2894 02:34:29.600 --> 02:34:32.879 to reduce the number of flights during the busy and 2895 02:34:32.959 --> 02:34:36.200 incredibly lucrative summer travel season. A Brian, This scares me 2896 02:34:36.639 --> 02:34:39.719 because if we see Delta and now United and other 2897 02:34:39.799 --> 02:34:43.159 carriers do that where they're reducing the number of seats 2898 02:34:43.239 --> 02:34:46.719 during that busy summer travel season, it means that the 2899 02:34:47.280 --> 02:34:50.440 fairs for the remaining seats are going to go up, up, up, up, 2900 02:34:50.520 --> 02:34:54.840 up up up. I'm hoping that most of the people 2901 02:34:54.879 --> 02:34:57.840 listen to us if livery summer bought their tickets six 2902 02:34:57.840 --> 02:35:00.319 seven months ago, But if you've not yet on it, 2903 02:35:00.360 --> 02:35:03.959 I would suggest quickly doing so, because the fares are 2904 02:35:04.000 --> 02:35:06.360 only going to go up, and you know, grab the 2905 02:35:06.360 --> 02:35:10.600 trip cancelation insurance to protect yourself and make your reservations 2906 02:35:10.639 --> 02:35:13.000 as quickly as you can, because as this trend continues, 2907 02:35:13.360 --> 02:35:15.159 the fares are going to go up, go up, and 2908 02:35:15.200 --> 02:35:17.479 it's going to be considerably more to fly this summer 2909 02:35:17.920 --> 02:35:20.360 than it was last simply because we have few receipts. 2910 02:35:21.000 --> 02:35:23.680 Sound advice from Jay Rylof as always and finally, as 2911 02:35:23.719 --> 02:35:26.559 we always do, the part before we part company, hub 2912 02:35:26.559 --> 02:35:27.319 delis for today. 2913 02:35:27.959 --> 02:35:30.879 Today Los Angeles has given us issues, some big time 2914 02:35:30.879 --> 02:35:33.239 issues there. If you're flying to and through there, Ryan, 2915 02:35:33.319 --> 02:35:35.440 the real story is going to be later tonight over 2916 02:35:35.479 --> 02:35:37.520 the next couple of days, where we're going to storms 2917 02:35:37.559 --> 02:35:40.040 through the central in the eastern part of the United States. 2918 02:35:40.079 --> 02:35:42.079 If you're gonna be flying over the next forty eight hours, 2919 02:35:42.399 --> 02:35:44.040 please make sure the airlines have a way to get 2920 02:35:44.040 --> 02:35:46.840 a hold of you. That way, if your itinerary is impacted, 2921 02:35:46.840 --> 02:35:48.159 they can get a hold of you long before you 2922 02:35:48.200 --> 02:35:50.680 get to the airport. Maybe give you options where you 2923 02:35:50.719 --> 02:35:52.799 can decide, you know, what you would like to have 2924 02:35:52.879 --> 02:35:55.760 if something happens to your flight. But yeah, it's going 2925 02:35:55.799 --> 02:35:59.000 to be problematic over probably through Sunday, so if you're 2926 02:35:59.000 --> 02:36:00.920 scheduled to fly, just make sure that your lunch. 2927 02:36:00.760 --> 02:36:01.399 Can get ahold of you. 2928 02:36:01.760 --> 02:36:05.239 Thank you, Jay Rattler for all the information and sound advice. 2929 02:36:05.559 --> 02:36:07.639 I look forward to another segment of this top or 2930 02:36:07.680 --> 02:36:11.559 another segment of our aviation discussion next Thursday, and between 2931 02:36:11.559 --> 02:36:13.760 now and then, best of health you and your better half. 2932 02:36:14.399 --> 02:36:16.840 Imagine the fun that will happen between now and then, brother, 2933 02:36:16.879 --> 02:36:17.319 But I'll be. 2934 02:36:17.319 --> 02:36:20.559 Right, no doubt about, it's going to be a long 2935 02:36:20.639 --> 02:36:23.600 list expected.
