Speaker 1: Here it is one more time with the Channel nine
Speaker 1: first one and what a forecasts got cloudy day to
Speaker 1: day rain north of the Ohio River, a high sixty
Speaker 1: six overnight, little fifty with clouds, cloudy tomorrow with a
Speaker 1: possibility of afternoon rain, seventy two for the high tomorrow
Speaker 1: over night little fifty three with clouds, and a cloudy Thursday,
Speaker 1: partly in a highest seventy five fifty three degrees. Right now,
Speaker 1: it's time for traffic update Chuck Ingram.
Speaker 2: From the UCUP Traffic Center. When it comes to stroke,
Speaker 2: every second counts. That's why you see how does the
Speaker 2: clear choice for wrapping life saving treatment learn more?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: You see how dot com cruise continue to work. By
Speaker 2: the wreck northbound seventy one at Ridge, traffic slows Smith
Speaker 2: edwards into Kenwood westbound two seventy five. An accident near
Speaker 2: five mile backs traffic to Ohio Pike. Right lane is
Speaker 2: open again northbound two seventy five with the wreck near
Speaker 2: twenty eight in Milford. Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs
Speaker 2: the talk station.
Speaker 1: Josh Ivy forty three fifty five kr CD talk station,
Speaker 1: Very happy Tuesday to you, and they welcome back to
Speaker 1: fifty five carsee Morning show. Secretary of State Frank LeRose
Speaker 1: is good you have you on this morning.
Speaker 4: It's good to be back, Brent, and noticed that traffic
Speaker 4: report did not say anything about traffic jams at the
Speaker 4: voting location. Nothing to worry about today, Get out and vote.
Speaker 4: We'll even give you a free sticker.
Speaker 1: I promise free sticker as an incentive to get more
Speaker 1: people to vote in a day when very few people
Speaker 1: end up voting because it's an off cycle election, and
Speaker 1: the numbers that are always sort of sad to see
Speaker 1: when we wake up the next day and find out
Speaker 1: that only fifteen percent know exercise the right to vote
Speaker 1: and maybe steer the direction of the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a constitutional amendment. I think it's
Speaker 1: a very important issue for people to consider.
Speaker 4: Yeah and listen, Ohilan's are civic minded, engaged people. Look
Speaker 4: at the numbers that we've been posting in the even
Speaker 4: number of years, twenty twenty all time record breaking. Twenty
Speaker 4: twenty two broke the record for goubernatorial elections. Twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: we broke the record for early voting. You can trast
Speaker 4: that with these odd numbered years like twenty twenty five,
Speaker 4: you do see much lower turnouts. And maybe one of
Speaker 4: the reasons why I run into people every now and
Speaker 4: then say, you know, I just don't know enough. I
Speaker 4: don't want to guess, and I get that. But you
Speaker 4: can just check our website vot dot You'll see what's
Speaker 4: going to be on your ballot. You'll see the argument
Speaker 4: and supportive issue too, the argument against issue. To take
Speaker 4: five or ten minutes, be informed, and go out and
Speaker 4: cast your ballot. It'll be easy to do and you'll
Speaker 4: be doing your civic duty.
Speaker 1: Amen to that. And of course a lot of people
Speaker 1: have school levies to vote on. City of Cincinnati has council,
Speaker 1: the primary for mayor, and other things, so lots of
Speaker 1: other issues to drive some of the voters out. But
Speaker 1: the vast majority of us only have this single issue.
Speaker 1: But it is important. I had a higher representative, Jennifer
Speaker 1: Gross on the program yesterday, so I encourage my listeners
Speaker 1: to listen to that podcast if you have carecy dot com. Now,
Speaker 1: polls are already open, Secretary of State Frank LeRose, and
Speaker 1: they close at seven point thirty. What if folks need
Speaker 1: to bring with them in order to cast a vote.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right. The poles have been opened for over
Speaker 4: two hours now and things are going smoothly. You need
Speaker 4: to bring a government issued photo ID. That's for most
Speaker 4: of us, that's our state idea, or our driver's license,
Speaker 4: or it's like you can bring your military ID, or
Speaker 4: you can bring a passport. But also bring a smile.
Speaker 4: I say that because bring a smile to thank those
Speaker 4: poll workers. When you get to your voting location, you're
Speaker 4: going to be greeted by a bipartisan team Democrats and
Speaker 4: Republicans on this Tuesday morning, working together to help you
Speaker 4: have the smooth and secure and convenient election experience that
Speaker 4: you deserve. Thank them for their work. They're putting in
Speaker 4: a long day and they're doing for us.
Speaker 3: Amen to that.
Speaker 1: And of course already heard from Sherry Pulling from the
Speaker 1: Hemilon County Board of Elections on the need for poll workers,
Speaker 1: So please consider doing that as we approach November. They
Speaker 1: always need poll workers and it's a way to fulfill
Speaker 1: your civic obligation. Plus you'll have a pretty good time
Speaker 1: doing it. My wife did it a lot of time,
Speaker 1: and everybody gets along well regardless of political stripe. You'll
Speaker 1: get along well with your fellow poll workers.
Speaker 4: And Brian, here's the other cool thing in Ohio. Seventeen
Speaker 4: year olds can be poll workers. So you've got a
Speaker 4: high school student in your life. What a great thing
Speaker 4: to put on a college application or a application. It
Speaker 4: shows a level of responsibility and civic engagement. And again,
Speaker 4: seventeen year olds can be poll workers before they're even
Speaker 4: eligible to be voters. You sign up at Votohio dot gov.
Speaker 4: They'll train you, they'll even pay you. Not a lot,
Speaker 4: but they'll pay you a little bit for your trouble.
Speaker 4: And it'll feel good when you go home at seven
Speaker 4: forty five and kick your feet up and watch those
Speaker 4: results come scrolling in. You'll know that you were part
Speaker 4: of making that happen. So Votohio dot gov is where
Speaker 4: you sign up to be a poll worker. We're already
Speaker 4: starting to recruit for this November.
Speaker 3: That's great. I'm glad you.
Speaker 1: I had forgotten that, So I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 1: Secretary of State, Franklerose real quick, since we're talking about election,
Speaker 1: Before I gravitate over, I wanted to ask you about
Speaker 1: real ID because that deadline's I guess is it today?
Speaker 1: The deadline for real idea to travel tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but so real.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good idea to have one. Yes, Listen,
Speaker 4: I got mine over ten years ago. You need it
Speaker 4: to board an airplane, you need it to go into
Speaker 4: federal facilities and buildings. It is not, however, a requirement
Speaker 4: to vote. Your regular old state idea as long as
Speaker 4: it's unexpired will be fine. It's a good idea to
Speaker 4: get the real ID, but you don't need that to vote,
Speaker 4: as long as you have a valid state ID, or
Speaker 4: driver's license or military idea or passport. Full list again
Speaker 4: is at our website vote Ohio dot go, and.
Speaker 1: Of course you get that Department of Motor Vehicles. Are
Speaker 1: they a well oiled machine. I've never had any problem
Speaker 1: with my DMV, and I actually lost had to replace
Speaker 1: my license because it cracked, and they turned it around
Speaker 1: quickly mailed my new I had a real ID. They
Speaker 1: mailed me my new one within five days. So I'm
Speaker 1: just wondering for people who, oh my god, I've got
Speaker 1: to go out and get that.
Speaker 3: Is it a quick process? Painless?
Speaker 4: Brian? You should stop using your ID card to Jimmy
Speaker 4: open the door. Stop losing your stop losing your key. Now, Listen,
Speaker 4: they've gotten a lot better.
Speaker 3: You can.
Speaker 4: You can make a reservation online to get there and
Speaker 4: that kind of thing. Yeah, so there's a lot of
Speaker 4: good options. And here's the thing. Some people make this
Speaker 4: silly argument that somehow it's discriminatory to require IDs to
Speaker 4: vote or days do it Ohio and support it.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.
Speaker 4: It's free. We'll give you a free I D for
Speaker 4: the purpose of voting if you can't afford one, and
Speaker 4: so there's no reason not to have one. Keep your
Speaker 4: keep your driver's license or your idea up to date,
Speaker 4: and use it when you go to vote.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I find that argument to be rather racist, to be
Speaker 1: quite candid with you and insulting people of color. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're not capable of getting well, how are you kidding me? Anyhow?
Speaker 1: Before we part company Secretary of State Frank LeRose I
Speaker 1: was told that you went door knocking with mayoral candidate
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, who we hope is going to win the
Speaker 1: primary this morning or today.
Speaker 4: I'm excited Corey is one of these transformational candidates. Cincinnati
Speaker 4: is a great city. I think you know. My dad
Speaker 4: went to uc my mom went to Miami. I've grown
Speaker 4: up visiting Cincinnati. My whole life. It's a great city
Speaker 4: that's been mismanaged by one party Democrat rule. I think
Speaker 4: Corey is the guy that can flip the natty. He's
Speaker 4: gonna make He's gonna make the other side work for it.
Speaker 4: If nothing else, I think he can win this in November.
Speaker 4: And that's why I was out supporting.
Speaker 1: Amen to that, and I'm with you all day long.
Speaker 1: I've had him on my program quite a few times
Speaker 1: leading up to today, and I just find him to
Speaker 1: be absolutely sincere in his passion and love for the
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. It just comes through and everything he says.
Speaker 4: Amen. No, the guy's a real deal. He's an entrepreneur,
Speaker 4: he's a minister, he's somebody that loves the city. And
Speaker 4: you know what, we've had enough of the career politicians
Speaker 4: running the city. Give this guy a shot. And again,
Speaker 4: that's why I was outdoor knocking form And by the way,
Speaker 4: we were in Hyde Park and we got a really
Speaker 4: positive reaction from people that met him and gave him
Speaker 4: the job interview there on their front porch.
Speaker 1: Well, I would hope after the mayor and the city
Speaker 1: council currently has made up stabbed him all on the
Speaker 1: back by denying them the right to chart their own
Speaker 1: destiny when it comes to zoning. Obviously a little passionate
Speaker 1: about that. Secretary's Dave frank LeRose, thanks for joining my
Speaker 1: listeners of me this morning to talk about the election.
Speaker 3: I appreciate. I'll look forward to having you back on
Speaker 3: the program.
Speaker 4: Old Open until seven point thirty vot I have that
Speaker 4: go for all the info.
Speaker 1: Thanks Brian, Thank you vote Ohio dot gov. Okay, let
Speaker 1: us see here. Yeah, you're going back to Jennifer Gross
Speaker 1: and again, if you're going out to vote and you're
Speaker 1: planning on not voting, let's talk to the folks like
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get up off my couch and
Speaker 1: drive to the polling place just to vote on an issue.
Speaker 1: And beyond that, I'm not even con sure because I've
Speaker 1: I've seen, you know, most of the advocacy for voting
Speaker 1: for Issue too in favor of it is actually a
Speaker 1: campaign with yard signs to vote yes on issue to
Speaker 1: you ask yourself who paid for that? Jennifer Gross pointed
Speaker 1: it out yesterday, which is why I was going to
Speaker 1: gravitate to listen to the podcast of what Jennifer Gross
Speaker 1: had to say Representative Gross, because This is basically as
Speaker 1: I boiled it down, and she agreed with my you know,
Speaker 1: perception of it and summarizing and summing up as it's
Speaker 1: a creation of a slush fund. Oh, and it's going
Speaker 1: to help your roads, your bridges, your infrastructure. We can
Speaker 1: only use the money, the additional money, and this is
Speaker 1: going to be a huge pot of money, and they're
Speaker 1: going to go into debt for funding this additional money
Speaker 1: into this fund that they already have in place. Every
Speaker 1: ten years at least you had a chance to vote
Speaker 1: on whether you wanted a refund it or not a
Speaker 1: special fund for roads, bridges and infrastructure and water projects
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. But they want more. Of
Speaker 1: course they do additional I think two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars more, but issuing bonds, which is basically putting
Speaker 1: it on a credit card. Right, they don't have the
Speaker 1: money in the pockets they want to add to the fund,
Speaker 1: so they're going to go into debt to continue to
Speaker 1: fund this even further, which means every year rather than
Speaker 1: allocating the money that they've got in the form of
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars, they meaning our elected officials and doing the
Speaker 1: job that they were hired to do and allocating the
Speaker 1: limited tax dollars to fund the road bridges and infrastructures
Speaker 1: and take care of what we've got already. It's a
Speaker 1: tough job. I imagine there they are, and there's that pile
Speaker 1: of money you get from all the gasoline that's sold
Speaker 1: in the state of Ohio. I think thirty nine cents
Speaker 1: a gallon state tax. That's not enough to fund these projects.
Speaker 1: I guess not. You can't work with the amount of
Speaker 1: money you take from us in our terms of our
Speaker 1: tax in terms of our income tax here in Ohio,
Speaker 1: plus the gas tax that you generate. Then you got
Speaker 1: the lottery tax which is supposed to fund schools, and
Speaker 1: yet our property tax bills are up through the blank
Speaker 1: and roof to fund schools.
Speaker 3: Hey, you go on forever on. This can't get.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna have to then put a line item
Speaker 1: in the budget to allocate funding for debt service. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have to make principle and interest payments on these bonds,
Speaker 1: So I guess that's an easier task, so that it
Speaker 1: gets this massive pile of borrowed money to increase this
Speaker 1: slush fund. And I called a slush phone because when
Speaker 1: you're out there voting, you're thinking about voting yes on this,
Speaker 1: what projects are going to get done and who decides
Speaker 1: it local governments? Do you want to entrust the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati with another pile of money to get something done?
Speaker 1: And going back to who funded the vote yes on
Speaker 1: issue too? How about the labor unions who are going
Speaker 1: to of course get the work that this money will fund.
Speaker 1: This is a giant additional pile of money for union
Speaker 1: contracts because you know, you can't sit at the table
Speaker 1: like for example, in the City of Cincinnati, or even
Speaker 1: Hamilton County for that matter, if you're not a union
Speaker 1: house or union shop, you can't even put a request
Speaker 1: for an RFP in there. So that's my I felt
Speaker 1: that way about it since I first read the issue,
Speaker 1: but that it is a constitutional amendment. You're not going
Speaker 1: to get an opportunity to unring this bell. You are
Speaker 1: just a little Constitutions are not supposed to include budgetary
Speaker 1: items like this, At least that's from my perspective. You
Speaker 1: may share a different viewpoint, but come on, we're mending
Speaker 1: the highest law of the land in the state of
Speaker 1: Ohio to incorporate this slush fund. Into it. It just
Speaker 1: doesn't sit well with me. So anyhow, a great program today,
Speaker 1: at least I thought so, because we were head Congressman
Speaker 1: and former Congressman now citizen Brad winsterp and CITYO doing
Speaker 1: an empower You seminar to tomorrow night, what are the
Speaker 1: lessons learned from the pandemic? And we went through the
Speaker 1: whole idea of gain of function research and among other topics,
Speaker 1: we talked about medicaid, and we talked about student debt
Speaker 1: and all that. But he was very, very much involved
Speaker 1: when he was an elected official representing the state of
Speaker 1: Ohio chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic,
Speaker 1: so he knows all about it and he's been there
Speaker 1: from day one, and so that's going to be an
Speaker 1: interesting seminar again. You can log in from the comfort
Speaker 1: of your own hon empower You America dot org, which
Speaker 1: can also do tonight Breitbart Editor in chief Alex Marlow.
Speaker 1: Establishment media has destroyed itself and we can't stop smiling.
Speaker 3: Subtitle.

Speaker 1: news outlets has resulted in a massive corrosion and credibility.
Speaker 1: That's Tonight's empower You sevenar seven pm. Log in only
