Speaker 1: Five o five at the five k r C, the
Speaker 1: talk station. Every Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Some say.
Speaker 3: A vacations, I'm the dude man, I am not.
Speaker 1: I am Brian Thomas.
Speaker 3: It's the Dove KRC Morning Show and I appreciate you
Speaker 3: tuning in this morning, and I hope you can stick
Speaker 3: around all morning. Got some great stuff going down this
Speaker 3: morning on the Rundown. Guests began at seven o five.
Speaker 3: Of course it's Wednesday. It means we get the big
Speaker 3: picture with Jack Aviden today. Beware what you read on
Speaker 3: the beach. That should be interesting. Jack's always an amazing
Speaker 3: uh intellectual and we'll find out what he meant by
Speaker 3: that be where you read on the beach. I always
Speaker 3: love hearing from Jack advident dot on any Americans for prosperity.
Speaker 3: They got the Ohio Cent and Budget Bill. Yes, it
Speaker 3: does include the two point seventy five percent flat tax proposal,
Speaker 3: lowering the income tax as opposed to a graded income tax,
Speaker 3: just a plain old two point seventy five percent flat tax,
Speaker 3: but also a grant for the Cleveland Browns Stadium six
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars to get to that. Claremont County Vener
Speaker 3: Service t Belzo for the and at seven forty to
Speaker 3: talk about Flag Day, which is coming up. Mike Tribble,
Speaker 3: the Director and instructor for the Southern Ohio Technical Institute,
Speaker 3: Trade Schools and Special and Special Opportunities at the Southern
Speaker 3: Ohio Tech Institute been I've been all about the trades
Speaker 3: of lay. I know how many jobs are out there
Speaker 3: and available. I've been dovetailing that in with the idea
Speaker 3: of requiring folks that are able bodied and capable of
Speaker 3: work from being obligated to do something in furtherance of
Speaker 3: their future and independence by having to work twenty hours
Speaker 3: a week. How many hours do you work a week,
Speaker 3: Probably forty, maybe more. Yeah, only twenty a week to
Speaker 3: get medicaid. So if you're able bodied, get out there,
Speaker 3: get into trade school, and take advantage of the opportunity
Speaker 3: of getting yourself off the umbilical court of government. By Tripple,
Speaker 3: we'll be talking exactly about that at eight oh five,
Speaker 3: followed by John Zenzer the Save Pike Hyde Park Square.
Speaker 3: John Zenzer no relation to Todd Zenzer. Last name spelled
Speaker 3: differently anyway. A voting issue is going to be up
Speaker 3: for the voter's decision in November. A huge victory for
Speaker 3: not just Hyde Park, for all the neighborhoods in the
Speaker 3: City of Cincinnati. I love the fact that they were
Speaker 3: able to get so many signatures in that campaign and
Speaker 3: that signature drive in such a short period of time.
Speaker 3: Your voice will be heard, in spite of the fact
Speaker 3: that since a city council refused to live listen to
Speaker 3: the voice of the folks in Hyde Park in connection
Speaker 3: with that variance that they allowed for the building of
Speaker 3: that monstrous hotel which would completely change the look and
Speaker 3: feel and dynamics of Hyde Park Square, which you know,
Speaker 3: aren't the residents in a neighborhood allowed to determine their
Speaker 3: own future and destiny, Not according to the City of Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: the mayor and the city Council. Anyway, That's what's coming
Speaker 3: up on the morning show. I always love to hear
Speaker 3: from you. You've got a comment about something five one, three, seven,
Speaker 3: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to
Speaker 3: three talk or go with pound five fifty on at
Speaker 3: and g Funes. Moving aside from the Senate version of
Speaker 3: the budget, they announced their version of the state budget yesterday.
Speaker 3: Slide increase in public school funding and the thing that's
Speaker 3: got me are the six hundred million dollars which is
Speaker 3: now described as a grant the Senate's version, it's not
Speaker 3: bond issue. It is a straight out grant to the
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns for the new stadium. And yes, it's important
Speaker 3: that their version of the budget also includes that two
Speaker 3: point seventy five percent flat tax, which we'll be talking
Speaker 3: about later with Donovan O'Neil. But it includes six hundred
Speaker 3: million dollars for the new Cleveland Browns Stadium in brook Park. Now,
Speaker 3: the funding different from what the Browns proposed to what
Speaker 3: the House approved earlier this year, which was borrowing six
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars by issuing bonds and then having to
Speaker 3: repay the debt with interest over twenty five years for
Speaker 3: a total cost of a billion dollars. Now you've got
Speaker 3: to scratch your head when you look at the Senates
Speaker 3: version of the bill, which reveals that we've got four
Speaker 3: point eight billion dollars in unclaimed funds. A high Department
Speaker 3: of Commerce website says it's sitting on four point eight
Speaker 3: billion dollars the state's holding that it's actually that money
Speaker 3: is a emulated from things like forgotten bank accounts, rent
Speaker 3: or utility deposits or uncashed insurance policies. So somewhere out
Speaker 3: there someone failed to take advantage of this money. The
Speaker 3: higher Department of Commerce, I guess, is sitting on it.
Speaker 3: But it's four point eight billion dollars. That's a whole
Speaker 3: lot of money. So the Senate's proposing a six hundred
Speaker 3: million dollar grant from for the stadium out of that money,
Speaker 3: which I will admit it makes more sense to go
Speaker 3: ahead and hand that money over and not incur debt
Speaker 3: totaling one billion dollars having to pay it back over
Speaker 3: twenty five years with interest. But more fundamentally, why in
Speaker 3: the hell are we giving them the money in the
Speaker 3: first place. I'm sorry, during the five o'clock hour, I
Speaker 3: can say, without concern for the FCC, this kind of
Speaker 3: thing really just pisses me off.
Speaker 1: Oh we'll make it back.
Speaker 3: Senate thinks to state will more than recoup the quote
Speaker 3: unquote investment through sales tax, income tax, and commercial activity
Speaker 3: revenues from this one hundred and seventy six acre Brook
Speaker 3: Park Stadium district that they're building from scratch, bread and circuses.
Speaker 3: Then the Roman Empire collapse on that kind of thing. Well,
Speaker 3: it had difficulty maintaining the ever growing expansive empire that
Speaker 3: had created through wars. But nonetheless, there's always so much
Speaker 3: you can pay for, which is kind of Rand Paul's
Speaker 3: point on the Big Beautiful Bill, and he and Donald
Speaker 3: Trump going at it back and forth. Donald Trump having
Speaker 3: a jab at Rand Paul over his concerns about increasing
Speaker 3: the debt five trillion dollars a debt limit, claiming that
Speaker 3: Senator Ran Paul has little understanding of the budget bill.
Speaker 3: Paul's chief criticism of the bill is not most of
Speaker 3: the things that are in it, which he's in favor of.
Speaker 3: Even he's on record as saying that he just pointed
Speaker 3: out the math doesn't add up. Said, one of the
Speaker 3: things in the Big Beautiful Bill is that the vehicle
Speaker 3: for increasing spending for the military and the border. It's
Speaker 3: about three hundred and twenty billion in new spending, he
Speaker 3: pointed out. To put it in perspective, he said, that's
Speaker 3: more than all the DOGE cuts that we found so far,
Speaker 3: stating the obvious. Now, I applauded the work to Elon
Speaker 3: Musk had done, but it didn't come anywhere near the
Speaker 3: one trillion dollars he was hoping to cut out of
Speaker 3: the federal government, at least identify four cuts out of
Speaker 3: the federal government. We've got a nine point four billion
Speaker 3: dollar Doge cut bill heading for Capitol Hill, I think,
Speaker 3: which is designed to, you know, appease and assuage some
Speaker 3: of the concerns that are well articulated and stated by
Speaker 3: some of the senators who also in addition, Senator Ran Paul,
Speaker 3: who's facing most of the yre have also come out
Speaker 3: with concerns. I think there's a total of four senators
Speaker 3: who are like, I don't think so, and you can't
Speaker 3: afford to lose that many on given the margins in
Speaker 3: the Senate. Hell, the bill only passed by one vote
Speaker 3: in the House. Paul called it a big a bill
Speaker 3: by the military industrial complex advocates who are padding the
Speaker 3: military budgets. I think they're asking for too much money.
Speaker 3: And in the end, the way he added up, how
Speaker 3: much debt are you going to borrow? Five trillion over
Speaker 3: two years? That is an enormous amount. He pointed out, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it is. We have never raised the debt ceiling without
Speaker 3: actually meeting that target. He put it out, so you
Speaker 3: can say it doesn't directly add to the debt. But
Speaker 3: if you increase the ceiling five trillion dollars, you'll meet that.
Speaker 3: And what it does, it puts it on the back
Speaker 3: burner and then we won't discuss it for a year
Speaker 3: or two. His proposal, let's just to increase the dead
Speaker 3: ceiling for maybe three months. That'll force us to come
Speaker 3: back to reality. That'll force us to review all of
Speaker 3: the cuts that can't be done in this particular form
Speaker 3: the reconciliation, which must deal only with matters of spending.
Speaker 3: You can't have a discretionary spending dealt with. And that's
Speaker 3: what all the DOGE cuts relate to. And that's what
Speaker 3: the nine point four billion a billion dollar piece of
Speaker 3: legislation is headed for Capitol Hill to discuss cutting us AID, NPR,
Speaker 3: and other organizations or entities which probably shouldn't be funded.
Speaker 3: In the first instance. Trump called out ram Paul yesterday morning.
Speaker 3: Rampaul has very little understanding of the BBB, the big
Speaker 3: beautiful bill, especially the tremendous growth is coming. He loves
Speaker 3: voting no on everything. He thinks it's good politics, but
Speaker 3: it's not. The BBB is a big winner, followed up
Speaker 3: by rand votes know on everything, but never has any
Speaker 3: practical or constructive ideas. His ideas are actually crazy, parenthetical
Speaker 3: losers exclamation point. And my friends in the Commonwealth, I'm
Speaker 3: interested in gage your reaction, he said Trump did in
Speaker 3: the conclusion of this ex post or truth post, the
Speaker 3: people of Kentucky can't stand him. Is that true? My
Speaker 3: listeners in the Commonwealth Kentucky, do you hate rand Paul?
Speaker 3: Can you? You can't stand him? He's gotten reelected and
Speaker 3: he's facing criticism for pointing out something that is an
Speaker 3: actulut It's an absolute truth. Five trillion dollars is no
Speaker 3: one but Senator Ran Paul worried about that rlordy north
Speaker 3: of thirty six trillion dollars in debt. We have to
Speaker 3: pay debt service on that. The more debt service we have,
Speaker 3: the more interest on the money we borrow that we
Speaker 3: have to pay. We have to honor that obligation. Of
Speaker 3: the Fiat currency collapses, the globe will reject the US
Speaker 3: dollar as a reliable source. That would be the end.
Speaker 3: I give credit for Brand Paul for standing up and
Speaker 3: just pointing this out. And he said, listen, I'll vote
Speaker 3: for everything else that's in it. I'm in favor of
Speaker 3: literally everything else that's in it. It's just increasing the
Speaker 3: debt ceiling. According to CBO, out of the terms of
Speaker 3: the bill would add two trillion dollars of budget deficits
Speaker 3: over the decade. Altogether, the tax cuts and reforms in
Speaker 3: the package add nearly three point eight trillion to the
Speaker 3: deficit over a decade. Those spending reductions in other parts
Speaker 3: of the bill offset some of that, which is how
Speaker 3: you arrived at the two point three trillion dollar increase.
Speaker 3: Elon Musk calling it an abomination, a break with the
Speaker 3: White House.
Speaker 1: Obviously.
Speaker 3: Yesterday he wrote in his expost, I'm sorry, but I
Speaker 3: just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork filled
Speaker 3: congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those
Speaker 3: who voted for it. You know you did wrong. You
Speaker 3: know it. And some are saying, well, that's just because
Speaker 3: it cuts out the green stuff. No Trump's or a rather,
Speaker 3: Musk is on record saying he was in favor of
Speaker 3: all of those cuts, the Green New Deal cuts under
Speaker 3: the guise of the Inflation Reduction Act. So you know,
Speaker 3: say what you want about my opinion. I'm on Ram
Speaker 3: Paul's side of this. Why five t's million. Why not
Speaker 3: something much smaller? Why not something that only lasts a
Speaker 3: few months. I think Senator ram Paul suggested six hundred
Speaker 3: billion dollars, which you give us maybe a few months,
Speaker 3: and then we'd have to revisit the issue. I got
Speaker 3: no problem with that, he said. I support the tax cuts.
Speaker 3: I vote for them. At twenty seventeen, I support making
Speaker 3: the tax cuts permanent. I support and voted for basically
Speaker 3: allowing the tips on no tax on tips in fact
Speaker 3: pass the Senate unanimously. I'm hoping they will do that
Speaker 3: in the House and take it out of the big
Speaker 3: beautiful bill and do it separately by unanimous consent. If
Speaker 3: we do that, it actually makes the bill a little
Speaker 3: easier in terms of accounting numbers. That is part of
Speaker 3: the if that part's taken out. I'm for the tax cuts,
Speaker 3: for making the tax cuts permanent. I'm for as many
Speaker 3: spending cuts as we can get Republicans to vote for.
Speaker 3: But even if that's not perfect, I'd still vote for
Speaker 3: the tax cuts and the spending cuts. The thing I'm
Speaker 3: adamantly opposed to is raising the debts only by five
Speaker 3: trillion dollars. I propose an alternative instead of five trillion,
Speaker 3: which is estimated to be two years worth of debt.
Speaker 3: I've said, let's do it three months worth of debt
Speaker 3: because I don't trust the Republican leadership to enact spending cuts. Amen,
Speaker 3: Ran Paul, we give them three months worth, which is
Speaker 3: about five hundred million dollars, which is hard to believe
Speaker 3: that five hundred billion is only three months of borrowing.
Speaker 3: He said, borrow for three months and then have the
Speaker 3: debate again. I have the opposite opinion of what many
Speaker 3: others have. People say, we don't want to vote on
Speaker 3: the debt ceiling. It's embarrassing. Let's just do two years
Speaker 3: and then we only have to vote once during the
Speaker 3: entire Trump administration. He said, I'd vote on it every
Speaker 3: day if I had the choice. Three months, three four,
Speaker 3: five months. It's more reasonable.
Speaker 1: YEP. It is.
Speaker 3: Fin nineteen fifty five kc DE Talk stations. Stick around
Speaker 3: more to come. Hope you can stick around.
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC this.
Speaker 3: September hour, it's five forty three. Every Friday, we get
Speaker 3: Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. I hope regular listeners well
Speaker 3: know that and always tune into it or get the
Speaker 3: podcast at five care see dot com and Dave sends
Speaker 3: me emails throughout the week, and I think I'm on
Speaker 3: a you know, a bulk list of Hatter's emails, just
Speaker 3: continuing my rant about our debt and are overspending, and
Speaker 3: and and and the existential threat that it actually is
Speaker 3: a genuine one. We can speculate all day and worry
Speaker 3: all day as our elected officials are now worrying following
Speaker 3: the Ukraine surprise drone assault on Russia. Hey, maybe we
Speaker 3: need to think about our own homeland in the concerns
Speaker 3: face by well many outside threats that they could do
Speaker 3: the same damn thing here, since we don't really have
Speaker 3: any way of protecting our internal infrastructure in our military
Speaker 3: bases from comparable threats like Ukraine and their drone strike.
Speaker 3: But in so far as Dave Hatter and his emails
Speaker 3: are concerned, it's oh Ron Paul father of rand. A
Speaker 3: million seconds ago was May twenty third, A billion seconds
Speaker 3: ago was nineteen ninety three. A trillion seconds ago was
Speaker 3: thirty thousand BC.
Speaker 1: In connection with the.
Speaker 3: Comment, the US national debt is now rising by one
Speaker 3: trillion dollars every one hundred and eighty days, one thousand
Speaker 3: billion dollars. I don't know if you can get your
Speaker 3: mind around what a stack of a billion dollars looks like.
Speaker 3: But put a thousand of them next to each other
Speaker 3: and you'll get a trillion dollars. Of course, a billion
Speaker 3: dollars is one thousand million dollars. You don't think we
Speaker 3: have a spending problem in this country? Five twenty five
Speaker 3: fifty five care see the talk station, and how about
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty nine dollars in ninety nine cents.
Speaker 3: That is well affordable, especially if it's going to keep
Speaker 3: your house from burning down. Yeah, that's the chimney Care fireplaces,
Speaker 3: those Springs special. If you've got a wood burning fireplace

Speaker 3: Good to hear from you.
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning. How are you doing today.
Speaker 3: I'm doing I guess okay, you know, it's one of
Speaker 3: those things. I was going to qualify it in spite
Speaker 3: of all of the news that I'm surrounded by, with
Speaker 3: the articles I have to talk about, which are depressing
Speaker 3: as hell.
Speaker 1: I'm personally doing fine.
Speaker 5: Tom One of the downsides of the job, the side
Speaker 5: effects of all the information that's that's going in your brain.
Speaker 3: Huh it is, you know, and I'm honest, I've said
Speaker 3: it before. It is literally depressing. I can't put this
Speaker 3: stuff aside and go on about my daily business without
Speaker 3: this stuff being in the back of my head all
Speaker 3: the time. Because this is what I do for a living.
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm not complaining about my job. It's
Speaker 3: just one of the one of the problem. Everybody's got
Speaker 3: problems with their jobs, you know. Like if you're a surgeon,
Speaker 3: you know you've got your you got lives that are
Speaker 3: in your hands. You do a surgery, you don't know
Speaker 3: if that guy's gonna live. You gotta have that weight
Speaker 3: over your shoulders all the time. My job is not
Speaker 3: life and death. No one dies as a consequence of
Speaker 3: the fifty five KRCY Morning Show. But the realities of
Speaker 3: the world are in front of me literally every day.
Speaker 3: Hours in the afternoon I spent printing things out, and
Speaker 3: a couple of hours in advance of the show that
Speaker 3: I'm looking at more stuff, and honestly, there's very little
Speaker 3: positive information in the stuff that I'm looking at every day,
Speaker 3: so it wears on me.
Speaker 5: Well, well, there's always the stack of stupid cheeri.
Speaker 1: O amen, Amen. That's one of the reasons I do it.
Speaker 3: At least for twenty minutes, I can just just not
Speaker 3: focus on matters serious and talk about the crazy in
Speaker 3: the world and be thankful that I'm not in the
Speaker 3: stack is stupid.
Speaker 5: So we don't need to start up and feel sorry
Speaker 5: for Brian clubs.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, nor I don't want to go
Speaker 3: fund me paide for my psychological help.
Speaker 5: We can't afford it anyway. We're trillions of dollars in days. Yeah,
Speaker 5: this is nuts. I mean, uh, you know, people could
Speaker 5: just try to think about it on their own level, uh,
Speaker 5: and then just multiply it by how many trillions of
Speaker 5: dollars you cannot Just the fact that the government can
Speaker 5: raise its own credit limit, ye is basically what they're
Speaker 5: talking about the debt ceiling, right. Yeah, So if I
Speaker 5: want my credit limit to go up, I've got to
Speaker 5: ask somebody else, the person that I'm borrowing money from,
Speaker 5: to uh, you know to tell me, uh, you know what,
Speaker 5: We're not ready to We're not ready to raise your
Speaker 5: limit yet. We need you to prove to us that
Speaker 5: you know a little bit more, that you can be
Speaker 5: responsible for this. Whatever five thousand dollars credit limits you got,
Speaker 5: we're not ready to go up to ten yet.
Speaker 3: So you got a credit you got a credit card,
Speaker 3: you got a credit card you're maxed out on let's
Speaker 3: just say randomly, ten thousand dollars credit card. That's your limit,
Speaker 3: and you've already gotten up to the ten grand so
Speaker 3: you can't charge more on it, and you're only paying
Speaker 3: the interest on the credit card every month. You're not
Speaker 3: just just that you're not you're not getting the total
Speaker 3: borrored amount is not coming down any And you go
Speaker 3: to the credit card company and say, hey, can I
Speaker 3: have thirty thousand dollars worth of credit now because I've
Speaker 3: maxed out my credit card?
Speaker 1: That's exactly what's going on.
Speaker 5: That's a yeah times how many trillions? Yeah, that is
Speaker 5: that's insanity. The fact that we can do and the
Speaker 5: elected officials do not have to go to anybody to
Speaker 5: that's been permission for that. They just do it themselves. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's the insane part about this. So uh yeah, you
Speaker 5: don't want people to be able to raise their own
Speaker 5: credit limit. That's just all that does is just give
Speaker 5: them permission to be irresponsible and reckless, which is exactly
Speaker 5: what we've done. Now we're in this position of we
Speaker 5: are so far in debt, most of us can't even
Speaker 5: imagine how this is all gonna get paid off.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 5: Flip side of that, whatever happens in order to start
Speaker 5: getting this thing going in the right direction is going
Speaker 5: to hurt. It's gonna be painful. People are gonna have
Speaker 5: to go without things that they've been given or they've
Speaker 5: been whatever, and it's gonna hurt. It's just a matter
Speaker 5: of who's gonna feel the pain first and then next.
Speaker 5: And you know, especially if you're a Republican, are you
Speaker 5: willing to vote for something that's going to directly hurt
Speaker 5: your state, your constituents or whatever. That's the that's the
Speaker 5: hard part that's going on right now, and nobody wants
Speaker 5: to do that because they want to get re elected.
Speaker 5: And you know, people like Ran Paul, I mean, I
Speaker 5: appreciate somebody who's willing to say, you know what, this
Speaker 5: is ridiculous we can't do this. I'm not voting for this.
Speaker 5: This is insanity, and you know more of them need
Speaker 5: to do that. But I get the hesitation, but because
Speaker 5: you're going to vote against something that might benefit your state.
Speaker 5: So what, we've been benefiting our states enough. We need
Speaker 5: to roll it back. We need to start making and
Speaker 5: these are tough call These are tough decisions. That's a
Speaker 5: job that's a lot harder and has a lot more
Speaker 5: responsibility than yours in mind, does I get it?
Speaker 6: Tough?
Speaker 7: One to be done.
Speaker 5: It has to be done somewhere or another. We've got
Speaker 5: to start feeling the pain of bringing this back the
Speaker 5: other way. And no matter what, whatever we do, don't
Speaker 5: vote Democrats.
Speaker 3: Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom, appreciate the message
Speaker 3: as always. But as Paul pointed out Senator Ran Paul,
Speaker 3: the Republicans own the issue. If they increase the debt
Speaker 3: ceiling five trillion dollars, the Republicans are always supposed to
Speaker 3: be the party of this responsibility, and they can't make
Speaker 3: that claim anymore. That's his point. Five point thirty six.
Speaker 3: Stick around stack is stupid, and thank God for it
Speaker 3: coming up next. I hope you're a fan of it.
Speaker 3: It does lighten the load of a five o'clock hour,
Speaker 3: at least for me. Plump Time Plumbing taking care of

Speaker 3: up to the reford of stabbing. Was there they found an
Speaker 3: injured Judy Ann Lopez sixty two, taken to the hospital
Speaker 3: where she died from her injuries. Mendez described the difficulties
Speaker 3: in finding a lead in the case due to there
Speaker 3: being no video surveillance of the stabbing, but footage from
Speaker 3: a Metro Valley a Valley metro bus helped carry the
Speaker 3: investigation forward a court to the officer. We had discovered
Speaker 3: that Judy had boarded one of our Valley Metro buses
Speaker 3: in the valley, got off at the intersection seen on
Speaker 3: bus video. Judy had a cell phone with her. She
Speaker 3: had a cell phone with her when she was getting
Speaker 3: off the bus, and after being taken to the hospital
Speaker 3: and the scene was completely gone through, this cell phone
Speaker 3: was nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1: So it was after.
Speaker 3: Extensive detective work in investigating that we were able to obtain
Speaker 3: cell phone data records and those are the ones we
Speaker 3: used to locate where the cell phone went. The phone
Speaker 3: had been brought westward to a nearby neighborhood. By checking
Speaker 3: the home surveillance cameras, they learned that a man later
Speaker 3: to be identified as mister Weekly had moved through the
Speaker 3: streets Shortly after the stabbing, they got a search warrant
Speaker 3: for his residence, executed it, and according to officer Mendez,
Speaker 3: James was apprehended and a cell phone matching Judy's cell
Speaker 3: phone was located inside the home. Not to mention, the
Speaker 3: same exact clothing that he was seen wearing on the bus,
Speaker 3: the same bus that Judy was on in the security videos,
Speaker 3: was also discovered court. The police officer Weekly confessed to
Speaker 3: quite a few things, including that, in his words, he
Speaker 3: did it. He said he stabbed her and used a
Speaker 3: metal pen to poker in the neck. And it's unfortunate,
Speaker 3: but it's difficult to understand what the motive was, according
Speaker 3: to the officer.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: He added that Weekly maintain Lopez was suffering some sort
Speaker 3: of medical episode and then he tried to see if
Speaker 3: she was okay, and she swatted away his hand, cutting

Speaker 1: Let's do it.
Speaker 3: Jay's gut Jay, thanks for holding over the break. Welcome
Speaker 3: to the morning Show.
Speaker 9: Hey good morning, Brian, Hey, I just you know, the
Speaker 9: six hundred million dollars being given to the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 9: because the Republicans, and I'm going to put this at
Speaker 9: the Republicancy, because they feel like that this time we're
Speaker 9: going to get a return on the investment. All all
Speaker 9: I ask in return is just for them to codify
Speaker 9: that if you have a business, or if you want
Speaker 9: to start a business and you want six hundred million dollars,
Speaker 9: just put that down and we'll call it something fancied
Speaker 9: like a white paper or put it.
Speaker 1: Out in a policy document.
Speaker 9: And what building should we start the line? And what
Speaker 9: time should we start applying today? And the line starts
Speaker 9: where at what door of what building in Columbus so
Speaker 9: that we can all show up and get our get
Speaker 9: our document, our policy. What's the process for us too
Speaker 9: to receive a six hundred million dollar grant? Because if
Speaker 9: we just kind of pull on the thread of that
Speaker 9: twisted logic that they're going to give six hundred million
Speaker 9: dollars to a tax payer money to a private business
Speaker 9: because they feel like that there's going to be return
Speaker 9: on investment. Even though, as I've said before, Cleveland Browns
Speaker 9: have been around for seventy years.
Speaker 1: For seventy years they've.
Speaker 5: Been playing in Cleveland.
Speaker 9: And I'll say it again, Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Is still a dump.
Speaker 9: And the guy who called last time I said this
Speaker 9: and said, what's different about Cincinnati. Look at the Milkan
Speaker 9: Institute that shows economic development. Cincinnati is like middle of
Speaker 9: the pack. Cleveland is in last place. That whole northeast
Speaker 9: region of Ohio is an economic dumpster fire. It has
Speaker 9: been for decades, for generations. So so if we're going
Speaker 9: to give free money away, if our elected representatives are
Speaker 9: just going to grant six hundred million dollars to a business,
Speaker 9: isn't it the least that they can do is to
Speaker 9: put together a process and a policy and a procedure
Speaker 9: to say here's.
Speaker 1: How you go about it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that everybody, all Ohio wands, every American can
Speaker 9: sign up and get the same treatment. Jesus, we're going
Speaker 9: to pick winners and losers.
Speaker 3: And Jay, let us not overlook the fact that any
Speaker 3: individual out there who starts a business the entrepreneurial time,
Speaker 3: he who chooses the neighborhood, puts a building up and
Speaker 3: employs people, provides a return on investment to the community
Speaker 3: they're in. They generate tax dollars and revenue by their
Speaker 3: mere existence. So literally every business out there does that.
Speaker 3: And yet you got to be the Cleveland Browns in
Speaker 3: order to get six hundred million dollars from the Ohio taxpayers.
Speaker 3: Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it not
Speaker 3: at all?
Speaker 1: Uh See, you can get another stack of stupid in
Speaker 1: here we go.
Speaker 3: We go to Nebraska. Lincoln, Nebraska. Woman there will be
Speaker 3: spending up to two decades in prison after being sentenced
Speaker 3: for her husband's death, forty two year old A man
Speaker 3: to right sentence them nineteen to twenty years behind bars
Speaker 3: after pleading no contest the manslaughter earlier this year in
Speaker 3: the death of her husband, thirty eight year old Zachary Zvolva.
Speaker 3: There's an essence of v next to each other, hence
Speaker 3: the mangled name pronunciation. Prosecutors argue that she intentionally gave
Speaker 3: her husband a mix of fentanyl and methn fhetamine that
Speaker 3: killed him.
Speaker 1: What I Know.
Speaker 3: Also said made no effort to help him or call
Speaker 3: nine one one. Officials said she tried to cover up
Speaker 3: the circumstances around his death. Going to court records, she
Speaker 3: arranged for other people to discover her husband's body while
Speaker 3: she was away from their home. Autopsy can conduct it
Speaker 3: on his body revealed he died from acute intoxication by
Speaker 3: fentanyl methamphetamine. She was arrested and originally pleaded not guilty
Speaker 3: to first degree murder before pleading no contrast to a
Speaker 3: reduced charge of manslaughter, which again editor two decades in prison,
Speaker 3: don't do that would.
Speaker 1: Him been any easier to get a divorce. I'm just saying.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Joe, stick around more talk about the six
Speaker 3: o'clock hour. I enjoy hearing from you as well. Maybe
Speaker 3: you got comments, long lines, what Jay had to say,
Speaker 3: or alternative comments, what's on your mind? Feel free to

Speaker 10: I'm definitely gonna have to check that book out. He
Speaker 10: was just top notch most marines are.
Speaker 1: What a great guy.
Speaker 3: I mean, talk about someone who just was gushing over
Speaker 3: his service in American military. He's referring to retired Colonel
Speaker 3: William Dunn with a book Gunfighters Rule, and I'll encourage
Speaker 3: my listeners he didn't get a chance to hear from
Speaker 3: a retired colonel done to listen to the podcast. What
Speaker 3: an enthusiastic guy, I mean he I've never heard anybody
Speaker 3: speak as highly about military service as him, or at
Speaker 3: least on par.
Speaker 10: With yes, Sir, And then in that same light, I
Speaker 10: would also like to reach out and thank Mass Sargent

Speaker 10: Tri State Honor Flight and with the VFW Memorial Team
Speaker 10: here in Claremont County, his office and his staff has
Speaker 10: helped out so many veterans. So once again, before he
Speaker 10: comes on, I want to give out a big thanks
Speaker 10: to the Sergeant Major.
Speaker 1: He's a great guy, a great guy.
Speaker 10: And if people are looking for events to do this
Speaker 10: weekend to honor and thank veterans too, I got two
Speaker 10: right up your alley. This weekend Friday, as a matter
Speaker 10: of fact, is the eighty first anniversary at D Day,
Speaker 10: So our good friends at Cincinnati Warbirds Friday, Saturday and
Speaker 10: Sunday is going to be done at Lunkin Airport with
Speaker 10: not only static displays, but also planes that you.
Speaker 1: Can actually ride in.
Speaker 10: And I would advise you to go to Cincinnati war
Speaker 10: Boards dot Org to their website for more details. Along that,
Speaker 10: the premiere piece this weekend and celebration of the D
Speaker 10: Day anniversary is an actual C forty seven transport plane
Speaker 10: that the paratroopers utilized, and actually they're on Saturday at
Speaker 10: twelve thirty, there will be a ceremony honoring the one
Speaker 10: hundred first airborne. So that's all weekend long at Lunkin Airports.
Speaker 10: So hopefully mother nature will provide a good sunshine for
Speaker 10: that event. And Brian Thomas, you so well know about
Speaker 10: tri State Honor Flight. Well, once a year we do
Speaker 10: what we call a flightless honor flight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as you haven't gone.
Speaker 10: On flights yourself, you know how taxing that can be
Speaker 10: a long yes, sir, This gives the ability for us
Speaker 10: to thank these veterans. We have sixty five veterans lined
Speaker 10: up and actually three World War two veterans. If anybody's
Speaker 10: familiar in Blue Ash with the Cincinnati Institute, it's a
Speaker 10: building right across the parking lot.
Speaker 1: You can't miss it.
Speaker 10: Sunday that place is going to be dead, so look
Speaker 10: for all the cars and that's where we'll be starting
Speaker 10: at two o'clock and basically these veterans will be given
Speaker 10: a video tour of Washington, d C. We'll have bands,
Speaker 10: we'll have guest speakers. There are some other dignitaries that
Speaker 10: are scheduled to attend as well. But then we also
Speaker 10: have a slightly scaled down version, but still just as
Speaker 10: an emotional welcome home ceremony.
Speaker 5: It's conclusion.
Speaker 10: So if that's if you're available for that, and it
Speaker 10: have never been to a regular honor flight over at CBG,
Speaker 10: this is the next best thing. And for these individuals
Speaker 10: that will also get their pat on the back and

Speaker 10: I really truly appreciate you calling up and reminding my
Speaker 10: listeners about all those events that are coming up, and
Speaker 10: of course and sincere thanks for your service to our country,
Speaker 10: which continues with your involvement an honor flight in these
Speaker 10: other organizations and the USS Cincinnati exhibit.
Speaker 1: Yes sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 10: That mother nature kind of got us behind the scales,
Speaker 10: behind schedule, but right now we're at dark target date
Speaker 10: is spring of next year. I think the artist rendition
Speaker 10: has been out there. I know I forwarded you Accomloge
Speaker 10: a tremendous celebration of what that submarine did for the
Speaker 10: short time that it was.
Speaker 3: In service YEP during the Cold War, and that I'll

Speaker 3: absolutely amazing. It's going to be one hell of a
Speaker 3: cool exhibit.
Speaker 1: Mike, Yes, sir, looking forward to it.
Speaker 3: Well, thanks again for calling in reminding my listeners about
Speaker 3: all that. And I'm seeing you at lunch today hopefully
Speaker 3: hopefully three in a row for me. If I was
Speaker 3: a betting man, I'd be betting on you. Mike, love
Speaker 3: your brother, Thank you man. Seen a few hours. Yeah again,
Speaker 3: mad tree Bury's Summit Park location. If you want to
Speaker 3: hang out till about a little after one o'clock is
Speaker 3: usually when the cribbage game kicks in. Mike is one
Speaker 3: hell of a good guy, and his grandson is a
Speaker 3: hell of a great young man too. And since I
Speaker 3: didn't know what direction I was going to know, it's
Speaker 3: going to do a mashup of a couple of columns
Speaker 3: involving why the Democrats are losing minority voters and the
Speaker 3: political alignment or realignment that's going on in our country,
Speaker 3: all in a positive direction. Let me pivot on the
Speaker 3: comments of Mike to Dan Driscoll, the Secretary of the Army,
Speaker 3: and his commentary, and so I'll just read it. Dan
Speaker 3: Driscoll rights, well, the fifteen years ago I signed up
Speaker 3: to serve my country, packed my bags and I left
Speaker 3: home for Fort Jackson, South Carolina to begin Army basic training.
Speaker 3: The values I gained discipline duty on have shaped me
Speaker 3: into the husband, father, and citizen i am today. Choosing
Speaker 3: to serve was one of the most meaningful decisions of
Speaker 3: my life. That's why the news that the United States
Speaker 3: Army has met its fiscal twenty twenty five recruiting contract
Speaker 3: goals four months early. What a turnaround. Welcoming more than
Speaker 3: sixty one thousand new recruits is personal. It's also something
Speaker 3: that all Americans should be proud of. Reaching this milestone
Speaker 3: wasn't easy. The Army has faced challenges in recruiting and
Speaker 3: retaining talent in recent years, but thanks to the tireless
Speaker 3: work of General Randy George, Lieutenant General Johnny Davis, recruiters,
Speaker 3: drill sergeants, and many others, we've turned the tide. These
Speaker 3: men and women could have chosen any path in a
Speaker 3: country full of opportunity. Instead, they chose to serve their country.
Speaker 3: I can think of no nobler calling. It's especially fitting
Speaker 3: that these sixty one thousand recruits are joining as the
Speaker 3: Army sol It's his two hundred and fiftieth birthday. For
Speaker 3: two and a half centuries, American soldiers have answered the
Speaker 3: call to support and defend the nation and the constitution.
Speaker 3: These new recruits will carry forward that legacy of honor, courage,
Speaker 3: and service. Their decision to join also reflects something deeper,
Speaker 3: a resurgence of pride in our country. Young Americans are
Speaker 3: more inspired by purpose and patriotism, ready to stand up
Speaker 3: for our values and protect our freedoms. They're stepping up
Speaker 3: during a time of global uncertainty and complex threats. We
Speaker 3: owe it to these young men and women to ensure
Speaker 3: they're equipped, train, and supported to meet the challenges ahead.
Speaker 3: With clear vision from President Trump and steadfast leadership from
Speaker 3: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth, the Army is again focused on
Speaker 3: what matters most, strength, readiness, and winning. I would have
Speaker 3: written killing people and breaking things, but he's obviously more
Speaker 3: delicate and eloquent with his words. Thanks to Congressional action,
Speaker 3: the quality of life for our soldiers has also improve.
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty five Service Member Quality of Life Improvement
Speaker 3: and National Defense Authorization Act delivered a history pay rays
Speaker 3: for junior enlisted soldiers, housing improvements, healthcare access and childcare
Speaker 3: and spousal support from the White House in Congress to
Speaker 3: the Pentagon. Our soldiers are a priority. This is only
Speaker 3: the beginning. As more Americans learn about the Army's mission
Speaker 3: and legacy. I hope more will choose to serve. The
Speaker 3: Army shaped me into the man I am today, and
Speaker 3: I know it will shape them too. Dan Driscoll, Secretary
Speaker 3: of the Army, sounds like he's of kindred spirit. With
Speaker 3: Colonel William Dunn, who I spoke with yesterday about his
Speaker 3: book Gunfighter's Rule Again, you can find that at fifty

Speaker 1: Ah, you're a navy man, hey.
Speaker 3: Brian, Yes, sir, you were floating on top while Mike
Speaker 3: was underneath.
Speaker 8: Exactly.
Speaker 3: Mike has referred to ships at sea as targets before,
Speaker 3: so little context.
Speaker 12: That rivalry goes way back.
Speaker 1: I got it up real quick. Where you get to
Speaker 1: your comments real quick?
Speaker 3: I got to ask you about that while you were
Speaker 3: serving and thank you for your service to our country.
Speaker 3: Did did it bother you that you're floating bubbles sitting
Speaker 3: on top of the water, which you know, I think
Speaker 3: a modern warfare, and I think, gee, is it a
Speaker 3: kind of easy to hit his ship that's floating on
Speaker 3: top of the water. I mean, is that kind of
Speaker 3: thing ever creep into your mind while you're serving out there?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 1: I was twenty and too dumb to realize.
Speaker 3: Okay, hey, that's why they have a military age cut off.
Speaker 1: Exactly. Okay, I was in the boiler room.
Speaker 5: Anyway.
Speaker 12: If anybody hit our ship, I wouldn't feel a thing.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Okay, I've seen too many, too many war
Speaker 3: movies to want to ever think about being in serving
Speaker 3: in a boiler room.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all right, you don't get cold.
Speaker 3: I suppose that's true. So I didn't mean to interrupt
Speaker 3: your trade of thought.

Speaker 13: After election there I realized that bubblehead Mike's my neighbor,
Speaker 13: and I wanted to thank him and Kevin for keeping
Speaker 13: my property taxes from going any higher and adding to
Speaker 13: an income tax with their efforts on that levee they
Speaker 13: were trying to pass.
Speaker 3: He did successfully advocate for a no on that levee.
Speaker 12: Yes, thank you to both of them.
Speaker 1: Hey, he's out there listener right now, so I'm sure
Speaker 1: he's smiling.
Speaker 12: Figured was, And I had a question about the stack
Speaker 12: of stupid the lady that got stabbed with a pen?
Speaker 12: Was that a black assault style pin? And do I
Speaker 12: have to get a background check to buy one?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 1: You know, Brian, it's funny they do make those, Oh
Speaker 1: i'd imagine. Yeah, I'm serious.
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of the company. Micro Tech makes absolutely
Speaker 3: wonderful knives and I own several of them. But one
Speaker 3: of the things they do make is basically an assault pen.
Speaker 3: It's a you know, solid piece of metal and it's
Speaker 3: got a point on it and you can carry it
Speaker 3: in your pocket if you had a pocket protector or whatever.
Speaker 3: And you can, of course use it for self defense.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if it operates as a ballpoint pen,
Speaker 3: but it's I certainly wouldn't want to get stabbed by one.
Speaker 3: That's funny though.
Speaker 12: Yes, Hey, you have a good day, and these days
Speaker 12: all make it the listener lunch, I hope.
Speaker 3: And I hope to see you there, Brian. I truly
Speaker 3: appreciate the call. I do five one, three, seven, five hundred.
Speaker 3: I also appreciate your service to our country, Brian.
Speaker 1: In the target.
Speaker 3: Let us see here moving, okay, I wanted to ask
Speaker 3: an al loud question given the uh uh the Secretary
Speaker 3: of the Army's comments about we have met the recruiting
Speaker 3: goal four months ahead of time. Sixty one thousand have
Speaker 3: signed up for service to our country, and I thought
Speaker 3: that was a wonderful, wonderful news, considering the recruiting numbers
Speaker 3: were just down, just way down head mental recruiting goals
Speaker 3: in the number of years. Does anyone think that the
Speaker 3: the change in American military and getting rid of the
Speaker 3: whole woke ideology, the DEI and pro transgender and all
Speaker 3: that kind of crap that with the Biden administration went
Speaker 3: in full forcewith defense Secretary of Pete Hegzeth reversing all
Speaker 3: of that focusing on killing people and breaking things, which
Speaker 3: is the important component of the American military. The other
Speaker 3: thing that truly matters preparing our armed forces for combat readiness,
Speaker 3: defense of the of our country threats both foreign and abroad.
Speaker 3: With the refocus of the American military on what is
Speaker 3: important and the reason for the American military, does anyone
Speaker 3: also like I believe that the change in policy has
Speaker 3: something to do with our recruiting goals being met four
Speaker 3: months ahead of time. I just have to say that
Speaker 3: out loud, because I truly believe that is the case. Now,
Speaker 3: maybe that the increase in pay had some impact on it,
Speaker 3: but you know, as a you know, a recruit, and
Speaker 3: you know, as someone who's serving the military, this isn't
Speaker 3: exactly the way to become a multi millionaire, if you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. It's a question of service to
Speaker 3: your country, defense of the constitution, protecting America interests is
Speaker 3: the primary motivating factor for your young people to do that.
Speaker 3: If you think you're going to go into a woke
Speaker 3: military and have to sit through classes talking about you know,
Speaker 3: pronoun usage and DEI realities that you're not going to
Speaker 3: be promoted based on merit. That to me is something
Speaker 3: that might cause someone decide, well, you know what, that's
Speaker 3: not an environment I want to work in. So that's
Speaker 3: my conclusion. I don't know if you shared it or not.
Speaker 3: You can feel free to chime in on the topic
Speaker 3: if you like to call otherwise local stories coming up.
Speaker 3: But first, a word for folks with pain, ourthritis, pain,
Speaker 3: hit pain, knee pain, joint pain. You know you've been
Speaker 3: living with it for a long time. Maybe it's impacted
Speaker 3: your life dramatically. Maybe it's prevented you from doing the
Speaker 3: things you want to do, even taking a stroll in
Speaker 3: the park. I imagine if you've got that kind of
Speaker 3: pain might be a challenge for you. But of course
Speaker 3: you're not going to be able to play pickle ball,
Speaker 3: maybe you can't pick up the grandkids, whatever it happens
Speaker 3: to be. I want to recommend you get in touch
Speaker 3: with QC Kinetics because you may have talked to your
Speaker 3: doctor about surgery, and you know the time that goes

Speaker 3: Happy Wednesday, A little sum there with Iggy Pop. Always
Speaker 3: loved that song. Anyway, let's go to the phone before
Speaker 3: we get the local stories. Got Bobby on the line. Bobby,
Speaker 3: welcome back to the Morning Show. Good year from you.
Speaker 6: Today, Happy hump to day, my friend, keep that torture,
Speaker 6: freedom high and bright trying.
Speaker 1: Hey, there's a lot of things going on. I think
Speaker 1: it's great.
Speaker 6: Like Corey Booker when he was out in California Saturday
Speaker 6: at Anaheim giving the Roman salute two or three times.
Speaker 6: But that's what hypocrites.
Speaker 1: Do, you know, I mean liars and hypocrites.
Speaker 6: I mean they're the top two categories.
Speaker 1: I'm still going back with it.
Speaker 3: Any given time in any human beings life, if someone
Speaker 3: is standing there with a camera, they could catch someone
Speaker 3: in what they could later describe at doing a Nazi salute.
Speaker 1: I agree with you.
Speaker 6: The next thing is what's going on out California on
Speaker 6: this grading systems. I think it's great. Let these kids
Speaker 6: go through school and let them go ahead and you know,
Speaker 6: test out four or five times. I think it's great
Speaker 6: for them out in California. Just leave them out there,
Speaker 6: leave all the students out there. That way, we don't
Speaker 6: have to contend.
Speaker 3: With Well, then it is California. They probably will end
Speaker 3: up staying there since they have that massive social welfare
Speaker 3: giveaway program. Literally for everyone to live off the public dole,
Speaker 3: they will not be able to care for themselves given
Speaker 3: the lack of education. Obviously that's going to happen with
Speaker 3: you can pass high school and get a diploma with
Speaker 3: a twenty one or something like that, A D, A
Speaker 3: D will be passing, right, isn't a D passing?
Speaker 1: Can't you go get all d's and still get a diploma?
Speaker 6: I think with a twenty one percent rating on it?
Speaker 6: I mean it's comical.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The only problem is it's more useful idiots for the
Speaker 3: Democrats to exploit with their illogical and unreasonable programs. And
Speaker 3: they're uh, and they're they're constant lying about the realities
Speaker 3: of life. So that's that's that's actually, I think that's
Speaker 3: the point of it. Bobby. You dumb down the populace
Speaker 3: by not educating them in schools, and then you create
Speaker 3: a dependent, idiot class of people. So I know your
Speaker 3: tongue was in your cheek saying it's a good thing,
Speaker 3: But the practical reality is that there's California is not
Speaker 3: the only place that's going in that direction. It's frightening,
Speaker 3: which is why more and more people embracing the idea
Speaker 3: of school choice over the log story five one three
Speaker 3: seventy fifty eight two three talk you want to call in,
Speaker 3: chime in, maybe I'd love to hear from you. A
Speaker 3: teen dead and a dry by shooting. Wow, Now, this

Speaker 3: point thirty five right now. If if you have k
Speaker 3: CD talk station, stick around more to talk about first
Speaker 3: a strong recommendation and get in touch with Bud Herbert

Speaker 3: Bud Herbertmotors dot com. Here's the number to call five
Speaker 3: one three, five four one thirty two ninety one five
Speaker 3: one three, five four one thirty.
Speaker 1: Two ninety one KRC dot com. It's six forty fifty
Speaker 1: five KRC. The talk station good.
Speaker 3: A little op ed mash up here. Writing along the
Speaker 3: same lines in the Wall Street Journal, we start with
Speaker 3: William Galston, the American political realignment is real subtitle Trump
Speaker 3: has built a diverse working class coalition. Can he pass
Speaker 3: it on to his successor? Question mark? So William Goalson
Speaker 3: starts out pointing out that New York Times showing that
Speaker 3: Republican parties increased its vote share in three consecutive presidential
Speaker 3: elections in one, four and thirty three counties nearly half
Speaker 3: the nation total. Democrats increase share only fifty seven counties
Speaker 3: over three elections.
Speaker 1: How about that?
Speaker 3: Where the points out Democratic demographic patterns indicate these geographical shifts.
Speaker 3: The clearest divide on education level. In not a single
Speaker 3: county which the Republican Party is increases shared the vote.
Speaker 3: Did a majority of adults told to college degree? Ethnicity
Speaker 3: also mattered sixty six of the sixty seven counties and
Speaker 3: with a majority Hispanic population voted more Republican in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four than in twenty twelve. Income was important to
Speaker 3: ninety five percent of the US counties, trending more Republican
Speaker 3: had median incomes below the national medium. Republicans a party
Speaker 3: of the working class, ultimately is really what we have
Speaker 3: concluded here. They're the ones that are fighting for lower
Speaker 3: taxes and fighting for more freedom, fighting for lower regulations.
Speaker 3: The regulatory burden is just a weight on the American populace,
Speaker 3: so you can feel the benefit from it. And of
Speaker 3: course they're Republicans making inroads across all ethnicities, which is
Speaker 3: where I pivot over to Jason Riley, who was pleased
Speaker 3: to have on the program, talking about his most recent book,
Speaker 3: Jason Rice Riley, a black man who wrote about how
Speaker 3: the basically the welfare system has destroyed the black families.
Speaker 3: He writes why Democrats are losing minority voters. Liberals seldom
Speaker 3: turned to this column, Jason Riley's column for political advice.
Speaker 3: They do, however, seem to trust the New York Times,
Speaker 3: so maybe they caught the gray ladies. Recent analysis of
Speaker 3: why the Democratic Party is in the demographic dumps. Leftists
Speaker 3: like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Casio Court has denounced Republicans
Speaker 3: as oligarchs, yet millions of blue collar voters flocking to
Speaker 3: the GOP remain unpersuaded. Liberals are in denial about these trends.
Speaker 3: But the reality, according to the Times, is that quote,
Speaker 3: Republicans are overwhelmingly making gains and working class counties, while
Speaker 3: Democrats are improving almost exclusively in wealthier areas. There's your
Speaker 3: elite liberal leftist college people. My words interjected there, sorry, Jason.
Speaker 3: The paper's county level distillation or trump air voting patterns
Speaker 3: reveals how badly Democrats miscalculate that in allowing progressive elite
Speaker 3: to determine the party's priorities, Donald Trump quote has increased
Speaker 3: the Republican Party's share of the presidential vote in each
Speaker 3: election He's been on the ballots in close to half
Speaker 3: the counties in America. That's that four hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: three figure I read a moment ago. The Times reported that,
Speaker 3: worse for the Democrats indulging in class warfare, only three
Speaker 3: of those counties had a median household income of more
Speaker 3: than one hundred thousand dollars. Blacks and Latinos are overrepresented
Speaker 3: among lower income voters and those without a college degree,
Speaker 3: and Democrats are also losing ground with non whites.
Speaker 1: Quote.
Speaker 3: The erosion of working class support among black, white, and
Speaker 3: Latino voters alike has unnerved every ideological wing of the
Speaker 3: Democratic Party close quote The Times wrote, while most blacks
Speaker 3: aremained loyal Democrats, again from the Times. In these in
Speaker 3: his three presidential campaigns, mister Trump made serious inroads in
Speaker 3: heavily black counties across the Deep South and beyond. Problem
Speaker 3: for the Left has to do with its identity based
Speaker 3: appeals to certain voting blocks. Minority voters are courted as
Speaker 3: minorities rather than as Americans who have the same priorities,
Speaker 3: good schools, safe neighborhoods, gainful employment as everybody else. Instead,
Speaker 3: Democrats have pretended that Hispanics don't care about illegal immigration
Speaker 3: or the blacks thing policing is a bigger problem than crime,
Speaker 3: even though polls have consistently pointed in the opposite direction.
Speaker 3: This is what happens when a small subset of progressive
Speaker 3: sets the policy agenda for tens of millions of people.
Speaker 3: Last month marked five years since George Floyd's death, a
Speaker 3: half decade that overlaps with declining minorities of minority support
Speaker 3: for the Democratic Party. The tragedy of Floyd's death was
Speaker 3: politicized to attack law enforcement broadly. Activist organizations like Black
Speaker 3: Lives Matter use it to raise money. Democratic collected officials
Speaker 3: use it to secure black votes. Floyd became a left
Speaker 3: wing martyr man who is targeted daily by villainous police officers.
Speaker 3: The media ran with this preposterous narrative and street protests
Speaker 3: and riots and sued nationwide. The political fallout hasn't been
Speaker 3: what Democrats expected. Gallupole released last month shows black confidence
Speaker 3: in law enforcement has increased since Floyd's death. Since twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two. It's grown significantly faster than the average among
Speaker 3: all groups. In twenty twenty four to sixty four percent
Speaker 3: of black respondents expressed confidence in police, which is up
Speaker 3: from fifty eight percent and twenty three, fifty five percent
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two and fifty nine percent in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one. Gallup also found that sixty four percent of
Speaker 3: black adults are satisfied with the relationship between police and
Speaker 3: their local community, which has edged up three points since
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, and five points since the low point
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. The irony is that Black support
Speaker 3: for law enforcement, even after Floyd's death, remained above fifty percent,
Speaker 3: notwithstanding efforts by liberal activists, academics, and cable news commentators
Speaker 3: to shrink police budgets and curry favor with black voters.
Speaker 3: This comes as no surprise to anyone who listens to
Speaker 3: the residents of high crime neighborhoods, and not to the
Speaker 3: intelligentsia who claim to speak for the black underclass. A
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one ballot initiative in Minneapolis that would have
Speaker 3: replaced the police department with a quote public health oriented
Speaker 3: close quote Department of Public Safety was voted down, and
Speaker 3: some of the strongest opposition came from low income black neighborhoods.
Speaker 3: Crime control isn't the only matter in which the average
Speaker 3: black voter in left wing elites. Divert survey show the
Speaker 3: most Black supports school choice, amen, voter id laws, and
Speaker 3: colorblind college admission, all of which the Biden administration opposed,
Speaker 3: and the Trump administration supports democratic outreach based on black
Speaker 3: victimhood anger and paranoia. Isn't working like it used to.
Speaker 3: So long as the party fuses to change its methods,
Speaker 3: Republicans stand to benefit. If black voting habits are increasingly
Speaker 3: driven by issues rather than by blind partisan loyalty. It
Speaker 3: is a welcome trend. George Floyd wasn't representative of black
Speaker 3: people any more than Derek Chauvin is representative of police officers,
Speaker 3: but the fallout does fairly represent how the lefts racial
Speaker 3: politics have backfired. It also helps explain why, as The
Speaker 3: Times concluded, the Democratic Party is quote hemorrhaging vital support
Speaker 3: from what we're once among its most rock solid constituencies.
Speaker 3: Close quote Amen sixty eight fifty five krs the talk

Speaker 3: and all everything else that's going on. But got crimes down, Joe.
Speaker 3: That that's what they keep telling us, crimes down and
Speaker 3: in completely unrelated news. And you know, the Chinese Communist
Speaker 3: Party is the nefarious actors behind the fentanyl crisis we're
Speaker 3: having in our country, a fentanyl crisis which has precipitably
Speaker 3: declined since Trump took office because he secured the border.
Speaker 3: I think the seizures of fentanyl dropped like fifty percent.
Speaker 1: Anyway. Authority support Long Beach Floor.
Speaker 3: Long Beach seized fifty five tons of a thing called
Speaker 3: dikumal peroxide, which is used to make methamphetamine, originating in
Speaker 3: China destined for the Cineloa drug cartel in Mexico. According
Speaker 3: to news release from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Speaker 3: Diachma peroxide identified as as a result of initiative launched
Speaker 3: by ICE to identify suspicious shipments of the chemical precursors
Speaker 3: for fentanyl coming from China, Indian other source source countries
Speaker 3: heading for Mexico for the drug cartels. Since the initiative
Speaker 3: was launched in twenty nineteen, it's led to the interdiction
Speaker 3: of almost nineteen hundred tons of chemicals used to manufacture
Speaker 3: of methad fhetamines, and fentanyl. In March, they seized forty
Speaker 3: four tons of glacial acetic acid in Port Houston, which
Speaker 3: is also destined for the Cinealoa cartel. According to ICE,
Speaker 3: in a statement, I said this initiative provides homeland security
Speaker 3: investigations with a game changing method to stay one step
Speaker 3: ahead of the cartels by disrupting the flow of chemicals
Speaker 3: that they depend on to produce illicit narcotics. And you know,
Speaker 3: I always got to point out that's what they seized
Speaker 3: considering the quantity of federyl and methane fetamine flowing into
Speaker 3: our country. Although it has been reduced, it certainly hasn't
Speaker 3: been shut off completely. There's your Chinese Communist Party at work.
Speaker 3: Just one of the weapons of a war that they
Speaker 3: are using against us on a daily basis. Six fifty

Speaker 15: he just stumbled across shells that spelled out a death
Speaker 15: threat for President Trump.
Speaker 1: What a creep this guy is, Brian, and.
Speaker 15: After getting blown back, call me blamed his wife, saying

Speaker 1: The heck did you do that for? Exactly?
Speaker 15: Think you get in enough trouble lying about Trump and
Speaker 15: Russian hookers?
Speaker 1: Exactly.
Speaker 15: Speaking about liars, last week we talked about Jake tappers
Speaker 15: very lucrative confession that well, okay, yes, he and everyone
Speaker 15: and de crap media knew that President Biden was an

Speaker 15: stick to more obvious fiction, you may still get mugged
Speaker 15: by liberal propaganda. Take Michael Conley, who writes about Harry
Speaker 15: Bush and the Lincoln Lawyer. Have you read any of
Speaker 15: those books, Brian, or seen the movies?
Speaker 16: Uh?
Speaker 1: No, I don't think I have.
Speaker 15: Well, they're good. My wife has read all of the
Speaker 15: Bosh novels and now we're listening to the audiobooks together
Speaker 15: in the car. But I was surprised to find that
Speaker 15: Michael Conley, who targets crushed.
Speaker 1: The detective Bosh. Yeah, I did watch that whole series.
Speaker 3: It didn't register when you said it, because that kind
Speaker 3: of came out of nowhere given the subject matter of
Speaker 3: our conversation. I just watched the series and I never
Speaker 3: attributed to Conley or books. I just thought it was
Speaker 3: an interesting and well done series. My mom may had
Speaker 3: wrecked mended it to me. That's why I ended up
Speaker 3: watching it. But yeah, I'm familiar with that it is.
Speaker 15: And the Lincoln Lawyer has been done by Matthew McConaughey
Speaker 15: in a movie and then they had a TV series
Speaker 15: about that too. They're excellent on many levels. But Michael
Speaker 15: Conley targets corruption in the old Jim call mey FBI
Speaker 15: writes about that a lot. So I was surprised to
Speaker 15: find Brian a political attack on conservatives in our latest
Speaker 15: audio book this one is called Resurrection Walk. Harry Bosh,
Speaker 15: a retired police detective, teams up with Mickey Holler, who's
Speaker 15: called the Lincoln Lawyer because he works out of his
Speaker 15: town car. At one point, these half brothers are mourning
Speaker 15: the death of an old lawyer who was Jewish. They
Speaker 15: note that the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood where he lived
Speaker 15: used to be restricted, meaning covenants in deeds included a
Speaker 15: restriction on selling homes to Jews or Blacks or other minorities.
Speaker 15: The Supreme Court struck down those restrictions after World War II,
Speaker 15: but in their conversation in this book, Bosh and the
Speaker 15: Lincoln lawyers say, the new Supreme Court seems to be
Speaker 15: going the other way.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 15: When we heard that, Amesley and I paused the audio
Speaker 15: book and wondered what the heck Michael Conley might have meant.
Speaker 15: Resurrection Walk came out in twenty twenty three. That same year,
Speaker 15: the new conservative majority on the Supreme Court that included
Speaker 15: three nominees from Donald Trump's first term. That majority struck
Speaker 15: down DEI affirmative action admissions at Harvard and the University
Speaker 15: of North Carolina. If that's the ruling, Conley was attacking.
Speaker 15: His attack misled a lot of readers because Michael Conley's
Speaker 15: books have sold over eighty million copies worldwide, and his
Speaker 15: two heroes, Harry Bosh and the Lincoln Lawyer, are a
Speaker 15: saying the so called Trump Court is turning back the
Speaker 15: clock on civil rights. Is that true? Well, let's take
Speaker 15: a look. In the nineteen forties, when the Supreme Court
Speaker 15: overturned restrictive real estate covenants, it was ruling that bigots
Speaker 15: could not ask the courts to enforce discrimination based on
Speaker 15: skin color, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. However, refusing to enforce
Speaker 15: discrimination is very different from requiring that college admissions must
Speaker 15: be based on merit, not race or sex. In that
Speaker 15: Harvard case two years ago, all three liberal justices Kagan, Sodomayor,
Speaker 15: and Brown Jackson of course supported Harvard, but the conservative
Speaker 15: majority based its ruling on the equal protection clause of
Speaker 15: the Constitution. They recognized that college admissions are zero's sum.
Speaker 15: If you admit one student on the basis of race
Speaker 15: or sex, you exclude another student who may otherwise objectively
Speaker 15: be more qualified. Harvard and UNC were in effect asking
Speaker 15: the Supreme Court to enforce discrimination. The liberals, of course,
Speaker 15: don't see it that way, because they believe in the
Speaker 15: greater good of promoting not equality under the law, folks,
Speaker 15: but racial or gender equity, meaning there must be equality
Speaker 15: of racial and gender outcomes. There must be quotas regardless
Speaker 15: of merit. Of course, there's another way to increase the
Speaker 15: chance that your child will be admitted to so called
Speaker 15: elite universities. Demand that schools and unionized teachers do a
Speaker 15: better job teaching our children, but much more important, help
Speaker 15: your own children study and do their homework. Demand that
Speaker 15: they become better students. Thankfully, in twenty twenty five, we're
Speaker 15: all learning that the best thing you could ever do
Speaker 15: for your children is not send them to Harvard. And
Speaker 15: since I admire them so much, I can only hope
Speaker 15: that somebody is influential in pop culture, as Michael Conley
Speaker 15: comes to agree with that, even if he despises Donald Trump. Meantime,
Speaker 15: this summer, if you're soaking up sun on the beach,
Speaker 15: you know, Coney Island, Michigan, wherever you're able to go,
Speaker 15: watching James Comey arranging death threats with seashells, keep in
Speaker 15: mind that the fiction you are reading may slip in
Speaker 15: some truly fictitious liberal propaganda.
Speaker 3: What do your sayd Cousel, I agree with you completely.
Speaker 3: It isn't crazy that the equity component, this idea that
Speaker 3: you are going to admit someone purely based upon the
Speaker 3: color of their skin, even though they haven't the educational foundation,
Speaker 3: the quality of excellence, that the universities expect the merit
Speaker 3: to compete against other students ignoring the color of their skin.
Speaker 3: That that is a product of what they claim to
Speaker 3: be a systemically racist society. That's the reason you want
Speaker 3: to let someone in who otherwise wouldn't qualify to enter
Speaker 3: the higher education because they can't.
Speaker 1: You know, they're not on.
Speaker 3: Par with some other student who has the higher standards,
Speaker 3: who tested higher, who has met the merit component. And
Speaker 3: yet if you look where the education came from, public
Speaker 3: education most notably is where I'm thinking, and on the
Speaker 3: heels of this revelation from California that they're going to
Speaker 3: let students who get a twenty after taking a test
Speaker 3: multiple times as many times it takes to pass that
Speaker 3: they somehow are capable or are deserving of a high
Speaker 3: school diploma, that you're going to allow one of those
Speaker 3: folks to get in when the system itself has failed them.
Speaker 3: The educational system that's supposed to provide them with the
Speaker 3: foundational building blocks to have the merit to compete against
Speaker 3: other students to get into the education system that they've
Speaker 3: grade to the quality of the education such that you
Speaker 3: can leave the school without those foundational building walks. In
Speaker 3: other words, you don't qualify to get into college because
Speaker 3: you can't appreciate and understand the college level material. So
Speaker 3: it's it's a top to bottom thing. And then they
Speaker 3: want to blame the system. Well, if you want to
Speaker 3: blame the system, then blame the failure of the education
Speaker 3: system below college for allowing people to move forward in
Speaker 3: life when they don't have the skills necessary to get
Speaker 3: into the next grade. I mean, it's just the whole
Speaker 3: thing is structurally unsound.
Speaker 13: Jack.
Speaker 15: In fairness, it was San Francisco, not the entire state
Speaker 15: of California that trying to impose that twenty one percent threshold, yeah,
Speaker 15: for a deed passing, and it was overturned in San Francisco,
Speaker 15: but only because there was an outcry from conservative media.
Speaker 15: Otherwise it would be there. And they're going to put
Speaker 15: something like that back under another nick. That's what they
Speaker 15: always do.
Speaker 3: But I mean, we all know about great inflation, we
Speaker 3: all know about you know, at Harvard, at Harvard, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: and I know an entire.
Speaker 15: Movement affirmative action DEI. When it concerns blacks, it's about reparations.
Speaker 15: And the question becomes, and I don't think that it's
Speaker 15: a whole racist or unfair. You know, at what point
Speaker 15: do you stop talking about reparations and at what point
Speaker 15: do you talk about pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps?
Speaker 15: In a way, this country that we both love so much,
Speaker 15: everybody in your audience does, has always been quote unquote racist,
Speaker 15: not just on the slavery issue, all of the waves
Speaker 15: of immigrants who came to our country, the Irish, Germans, Jews,
Speaker 15: Eastern Europeans, people coming from Asia now, they have always
Speaker 15: faced discrimination of one sort or another, either institutionalized or
Speaker 15: just the kind that you met on the streets. And
Speaker 15: the answer, of course, was to work hard to assimilate.
Speaker 15: It was a wonderful movie that came out a few
Speaker 15: years ago. It's called Brooklyn, and it was about a
Speaker 15: young girl who came to America from Ireland. There was
Speaker 15: an arrangement made through the church to find her a
Speaker 15: job so that something was waiting for her here. She
Speaker 15: would not have been admitted to America without having a
Speaker 15: job waiting. But she went to night school and learned
Speaker 15: to be an accountant. And we understood by the end
Speaker 15: of the movie that she and her Italian husband, that
Speaker 15: she met Italian American who also faced a level of discrimination.
Speaker 15: We're both going to be very successful. Not hyphenated Americans,
Speaker 15: but Americans. And at one point you've got to ask yourself,
Speaker 15: especially if you're a liberal, when am I going to
Speaker 15: expect people.
Speaker 1: To be grown ups?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I've been advocating for this Medicaid reform,
Speaker 3: where you know, if you're able bodied and capable of work,
Speaker 3: and you're not lifting a finger to try to move
Speaker 3: yourself forward and free yourself from the bbilical court of government,
Speaker 3: I find the whole concept preposterous. Here we are offering
Speaker 3: an opportunity. You can continue your Medicaid and get your
Speaker 3: medical coverage. Just work twenty hours a week, or just
Speaker 3: go to a trade school for twenty hours a week.
Speaker 1: Do something.
Speaker 3: Even community service will qualify you to continue your health care.
Speaker 3: It's just a question of actually getting involved and participating
Speaker 3: and hopefully better in your life?
Speaker 15: Mean what the liberals really want, Brian, as you know,
Speaker 15: they want a headline. They want to be able to
Speaker 15: go out and say Trump and the Republicans want to
Speaker 15: cut Medicaid, and it ends there and once it's proven
Speaker 15: that what Trump and the Republicans really are trying to
Speaker 15: do is to end waste, fraud and abuse, keep people
Speaker 15: who young, people, able bodied, people who just don't want
Speaker 15: to work, keep them from getting Medicaid, and other people
Speaker 15: who are committing to Medicaid fraud. You know, then you
Speaker 15: never hear anything about it. The liberals move on to
Speaker 15: some other headline. I don't even say issue, because they
Speaker 15: have no issues. They only have headlines.
Speaker 3: Indeed, well, and I think the original predict for the
Speaker 3: Medicaid was to help those with with significant disabilities and
Speaker 3: the poor elderly from going without. The purpose was not
Speaker 3: for a permanent, free medical system. And for those who
Speaker 3: are who get into the Medicaid program, it's a temporary
Speaker 3: lifeline until you get off of it. So the Republican
Speaker 3: measures are consistent with the idea of helping people help themselves. Yes,
Speaker 3: we will help you out, but you must start to
Speaker 3: move toward freedom. And that is education. Freedom comes from education,
Speaker 3: its from everybody remembers.
Speaker 15: During the Obama administration, and remember, Barack Obama wanted to
Speaker 15: have nationalized healthcare. Obamacare was just a step toward that,
Speaker 15: and he was always looking for a way to turn
Speaker 15: more and more of one sixth of our economy, the
Speaker 15: healthcare industry, over to the government. But during the Obama administration,
Speaker 15: they raised the threshold for Medicaid. You were able to
Speaker 15: essentially have a middle class income and still qualify for Medicaid.
Speaker 15: And who went along with that? Right here in Ohio
Speaker 15: A man I liked a lot. We weren't friends, but
Speaker 15: we were very nicely acquainted. Our governor John Kasik, who
Speaker 15: went on to become I don't know what happened at
Speaker 15: John Kaysick, but he became so sanctimonious and so yeah,
Speaker 15: you know, once he won a couple of primaries that
Speaker 15: you know, now he was, you know, not answering to
Speaker 15: the voters anymore. He was answering to Saint Peter and well,
Speaker 15: a lot of damage and we're dealing with that now.
Speaker 15: We have people on the Medicaid roles who have no
Speaker 15: business being there given, as you say, the original intention.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you broke it down great, Jack out of it,
Speaker 3: as you always do. I was intrigued by the subject
Speaker 3: matter topic, not knowing where you were going to go
Speaker 3: with beware of what you read on the beach.
Speaker 1: It's always you.
Speaker 15: Know the way the government follows you. I don't want
Speaker 15: people to know where I'm going.
Speaker 3: Jack Brilliants always shines through every Wednesday, and I appreciate
Speaker 3: the segment we have each week and already looking forward
Speaker 3: to next Wednesday with another discussion. You have a wonderful week,
Speaker 3: and best of health and love to you and your
Speaker 3: better half, my friend. Here's your Channel nine first one

Speaker 3: A very happy Wednesday to you again listener. Lunch Mantree Brewery,
Speaker 3: Summits Park location usually starts about eleven thirty. You can
Speaker 3: get there whenever you want, and I just hope to
Speaker 3: see you today. It's a great fellowship and always a
Speaker 3: pleasure to welcome back to the fifty five krc Morning
Speaker 3: Show at this time of the week. Donovan and Neil
Speaker 3: from Americans for Prosperity to comment on the Ohio Sentence
Speaker 3: GOP version of the budget. Welcome back, Donovan. Great to
Speaker 3: have you on the program again. Bryan, always a pleasure
Speaker 3: to be with you. All Right, I'm having a difficult time.
Speaker 3: I know you want to talk about the two point
Speaker 3: seventy five percent flat tax. I'm all in favor of that,
Speaker 3: I get it. But yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just frankly
Speaker 3: I've said used the words pissed off about six hundred
Speaker 3: million dollars going to the Cleveland brown Stadium brook Park.
Speaker 1: Bah.
Speaker 3: Did you know Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity?
Speaker 3: The High Department of Commerce has said it's sitting on
Speaker 3: four point eight billion dollars in unclaimed funds. They got
Speaker 3: a pile of money. They're four point eight billion worth
Speaker 3: of the things like forgotten bank accounts, rent utility deposits,
Speaker 3: and uncashed insurance policies. And apparently when the Browns ask
Speaker 3: for money, they can tap into that and pull out
Speaker 3: six hundred million dollars and hand it over to them.
Speaker 14: Well, I think it's an interesting way, and it's a
Speaker 14: long way from where we started in this conversation, right
Speaker 14: which the original proposal was raising taxes.
Speaker 5: I oh, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm certainly glad we're not raising taxes to do to
Speaker 1: do these kinds of things.
Speaker 14: It's at a creative way. The unclaimed funds was a
Speaker 14: creative way to accomplish that.
Speaker 3: Though, well, it's better than borrowing the money and paying
Speaker 3: interest over twenty five years by issuing bonds. But fundamentally,
Speaker 3: we're giving money to a private sports organization owned by
Speaker 3: private individuals for the benefit of folks who can afford
Speaker 3: to go into a stadium and pay twelve to fifteen
Speaker 3: dollars for a beer. I'm sorry, these things never work out,
Speaker 3: and they say, well, the revenue generated from the taxes
Speaker 3: on the purchases at the brook Park is more than
Speaker 3: adequately going to repay the six hundred million dollars we're
Speaker 3: giving them.
Speaker 1: I'll blow it at here, you know what. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to catch you off guard, Donovan, but
Speaker 3: this kind of thing rubs me obviously the wrong way.
Speaker 3: So we can get back on focus and talk about
Speaker 3: the flat income tax.
Speaker 14: Well, and I think that's the important thing, right These
Speaker 14: big budget bills, whether it's one big beautiful bill in
Speaker 14: DC or you know, the two hundred billion dollar all
Speaker 14: spend budget here in Ohio, which, by the way, I've
Speaker 14: got some there's some silver linings there too, you know,
Speaker 14: there's a reason they say it's the look you're watching
Speaker 14: the sausage you get made, because none of these things
Speaker 14: are beautiful or perfect. But I think there's some there's
Speaker 14: some bright spots in this budget that send a signal
Speaker 14: that there is a culture shift happening in Columbus, and
Speaker 14: I think we need to keep our eyes focused on that.
Speaker 14: And that's certainly what we're doing at AFP is saying
Speaker 14: focused on the things that we identified as top priorities
Speaker 14: that this budget delivers on.
Speaker 3: Well, we had a tiered in Well, we do have
Speaker 3: a tiered income tax system here in the state of Ohio. Correct,
Speaker 3: And this, this Senate proposal is in line, isn't it
Speaker 3: with the House proposal to get it down to a
Speaker 3: flat two point seventy five percent?
Speaker 14: Well, no, knock on our friends in the House, but
Speaker 14: they actually failed to do that.
Speaker 5: Oh old ones.
Speaker 1: I misremembered of the ones.
Speaker 14: No, that's all right, yeah, the Senate actually, so we
Speaker 14: launched in fact little self promotion here AFP Ohio. We
Speaker 14: launched it with Leebray Ohio, a campaign back on May twentieth,
Speaker 14: a couple of weeks ago, calling on the Senate to
Speaker 14: put its flat.
Speaker 1: Tax in the budget.
Speaker 14: We're proud to say they did and buy over the
Speaker 14: course of this biennium. If this budget gets signed by
Speaker 14: the governors, ultimately, let's get sent and signed by the governor,
Speaker 14: Ohio will have the lowest rate in the Midwest and
Speaker 14: be well on its way towards the zero percent income
Speaker 14: tax position us Well for that, I should say, over
Speaker 14: the next decade.
Speaker 3: Well, and that's something that gubernatorial candidate and probably our
Speaker 3: next coverer, Governor of viveg Ramaswami, is advocating for as well.
Speaker 3: He wants to be he wants to how to be
Speaker 3: the most competitive state out there.
Speaker 14: Well, and that's a big part of the argument that
Speaker 14: we've been making. And I think a lot of our
Speaker 14: friends in the Senate, the folks who are real fiscal
Speaker 14: stewards and champions of the taxpayer, like George Lang, Senate President,
Speaker 14: around McCauley, terce Rino, they get that right. They understand
Speaker 14: that we've got to keep making the margin if we
Speaker 14: pause that because over the last decade, Brian, by the way,
Speaker 14: over the last decade, we have cut from nine tax
Speaker 14: brackets with the top marginal rate at about five percent
Speaker 14: to this point where we're currently at two brackets, and
Speaker 14: it's the Senate has their way, we have our way, right,
Speaker 14: Ohio will be a flat income tax date a two
Speaker 14: point seventy five percent. It's a phenomenal accomplishment over the
Speaker 14: last decade. If you ask me, it's taken too long,
Speaker 14: but hey, we're here now.
Speaker 2: And and what it does is yet, if that's someone
Speaker 2: like a governor swall me up to give that mandate
Speaker 2: to the General Assembly and over the eight year seas
Speaker 2: governor put Ohio at a zero percent income tax, well.
Speaker 3: And that certainly go a long way to making Aye
Speaker 3: more competitive. I mean, obviously, if you look at like
Speaker 3: Texas and Florida, businesses flock the states with no income tax.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and that's what in the press converence actually the
Speaker 14: Senate President was talking about, the Finance Chair, Jerry Serena,
Speaker 14: was talking about is and it's not just warm weather states, right, folks.
Speaker 14: Businesses go where them where the economic climate is most favorable.
Speaker 14: And when we think about economic development, not to bring
Speaker 14: up the beginning of the segment necessarily, but one of
Speaker 14: the challenges we have, I believe as a state is
Speaker 14: because of our complexity, because of the amount of local
Speaker 14: governments we have because of the tax burning we have
Speaker 14: compared to states like Texas, Tennessee, or Florida, there's a
Speaker 14: compelling nature the lawmakers are compelled to use taxpayer dollars
Speaker 14: to try to lure businesses and develop into the state.
Speaker 14: We can change that paradigm by creating a foundation that
Speaker 14: is much more favorable the economic opportunity and prosperity. One
Speaker 14: of the key ingredients of that is having a zero
Speaker 14: percent income tax states. So when you bring your employees
Speaker 14: to Ohio, you can tell them they're going to keep
Speaker 14: all of their hard earned money yea, that they earn
Speaker 14: nine to five Monday through Friday. It's great policy and
Speaker 14: great politics.
Speaker 3: It is now Obviously things like this get pushback. And
Speaker 3: since the House did not have that, and I apologize
Speaker 3: for misremembering that ALS build ninety six past the House
Speaker 3: in April, that this is going to be a reconciliation
Speaker 3: process that goes on between the Senates version of the
Speaker 3: House version.
Speaker 14: Then well, fortunately in Ohio we're not as complex and
Speaker 14: convoluted as Washington, DCA. We have our own laws. But yeah,
Speaker 14: so what we've got right now is we're really on
Speaker 14: a clock. We have till probably about June twelfth is
Speaker 14: when the Senate is expected to vote on the floor
Speaker 14: for their version of the budget. What that would do
Speaker 14: is then send it back over the House and they'll
Speaker 14: do a They'll do a what's called a concurrence vote,
Speaker 14: and typically they vote that down.
Speaker 1: Depending on what this product is, it's maybe it just.
Speaker 14: Makes sense to vote straight up and concur But if
Speaker 14: they fail to concur which is historically what happens, they
Speaker 14: go into a conference committee, sort of hash some details out,
Speaker 14: send the bill back out.
Speaker 1: So pretty straightforward process.
Speaker 14: In that once the Senate's done, it really then goes
Speaker 14: to a combined committee of the finances finance committees in
Speaker 14: the House and Senate to kind of reconcile the process
Speaker 14: and send it to the governor.
Speaker 3: Now, do you find faults with anything that's currently in
Speaker 3: the Senates version that you prefer the House version? Obviously
Speaker 3: the House version doesn't have the cap of two point
Speaker 3: seventy five, so there's a difference there. But are there
Speaker 3: things in the House bill that aren't in the Senate
Speaker 3: bill that AFP and my listeners should know about.
Speaker 14: Well, I think what you saw with the House budget.
Speaker 14: To answer your question, directly, No, based on what we're
Speaker 14: seeing right now. In fact, what it looks like the
Speaker 14: Senate has done, and this is sort of what they've
Speaker 14: done historically over the past decade or so. In fact,
Speaker 14: you'll see the House increase spending from what the executive
Speaker 14: has asked for, and the Senate often over the last
Speaker 14: several years, has come in and cut curb spending, restraint
Speaker 14: spending from what the House is looking for. The House
Speaker 14: actually curb spending about four point one billion dollars from
Speaker 14: what Governor.
Speaker 1: Dwine asked for.
Speaker 14: The Senate came in and found another one point six
Speaker 14: billion in in moneies that just don't fit the proper
Speaker 14: role of government. And so I think what we're seeing,
Speaker 14: I think it's a combination of former Senate President Matt
Speaker 14: Huffman in leading the House Chamber and new Senate President
Speaker 14: Rob mccaullay, who's a long time AFP Bucket Blueprint champion,
Speaker 14: bringing his you know, restraint to the philosophy of leading
Speaker 14: to the Senate Chamber.
Speaker 1: And we've got two legislative leaders, two legislative chambers that.
Speaker 14: Are really dialed in on the idea that you know,
Speaker 14: this money isn't Columbus's money, it's the people of Ohio's money,
Speaker 14: and we've got to exhibit fiscal stewardship because you know,
Speaker 14: you know, for all the reasons Conservatives exhibit fiscal stewardship,
Speaker 14: and that I think what we're seeing here and so
Speaker 14: I think they took a good product, made it even better,
Speaker 14: and I think our hope is sifting.
Speaker 1: Through it still that this is probably a very good product.
Speaker 14: Maybe you can make some additional tweaks and modifications, but
Speaker 14: let's get this thing done and get it to the
Speaker 14: governor and deliver on a flat tax for ohilands.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 3: It sounds like both sides are in the right going
Speaker 3: in the right direction. In terms of those who are
Speaker 3: opposed to reducing the income tax, I'm sure they're screaming
Speaker 3: about not being able to afford what we do here
Speaker 3: in Columbus on behalf of the Ohioans. How will they
Speaker 3: deal with less revenue? Is the reduced revenue by reducing
Speaker 3: this tax satisfied by the cuts that have been offered
Speaker 3: by the House and Senate.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's sort of the idea, and really what we've
Speaker 14: argued we did. We worked with the Buckeye Institute, Greg
Speaker 14: Lawson and Ray Hederman to put together a study a
Speaker 14: couple of years ago on how you get Ohio those
Speaker 14: zero percent income tax.
Speaker 1: One of the key ways you do is just don't
Speaker 1: grow government so dang fast. Right, you can grow it,
Speaker 1: just don't grow it so dang fast.
Speaker 14: And that's what I think we're seeing in this budget
Speaker 14: where I'm historic, be notoriously bad at math Brian, but
Speaker 14: I think you know, the governor wanted to grow the
Speaker 14: budget by about I think eight percent over the last
Speaker 14: by anium. What the Senate comes in at is just
Speaker 14: the just about four and a half percent growth by
Speaker 14: anium over by anem And so when we just grow
Speaker 14: it maybe where it's necessary right, where you just have
Speaker 14: inflationary policies or what have you that have caused that
Speaker 14: delivery of services to go up, that's the kind of
Speaker 14: fiscal restraint we're asking for that enables you to then
Speaker 14: buy down the tax. And that's what we're that's what
Speaker 14: we're doing in this budget.
Speaker 5: As far as we can.

Speaker 3: hope the vast majority of the American people.
Speaker 1: Flag Day. Good to have you in the studio, Brian.
Speaker 17: You're the coffee of Cincinnati. So thanks for being out here.
Speaker 3: Bro, that's a nice compliment. I appreciate that anyhow. You know,
Speaker 3: I love the flag, and for me, the flag stands
Speaker 3: for freedom. Freedom, freedom for you and me to live
Speaker 3: as we choose to live in a country doesn't force
Speaker 3: us to live in a particular way, and that's what
Speaker 3: the symbol stands for. And I hate the fact that
Speaker 3: people use it as a source of division.
Speaker 17: As a token to somehow divide the masses. I know,
Speaker 17: it makes no sense. They thrive to enter our country,
Speaker 17: and yet then there's this movement to disgrace the symbol
Speaker 17: that we have.
Speaker 3: Well, and Flag Day is a great idea for us
Speaker 3: to get back on track, and it is coming up
Speaker 3: June fourteenth. When was the first Flag Day?
Speaker 1: In hell? Long as we have we been I hope celebrating.
Speaker 17: Wow. Yeah, So the actual adoption of the flags back
Speaker 17: in seventeen seventy seven, we know, but the celebration of
Speaker 17: Flag Day started back in nineteen sixteen. However, it wasn't
Speaker 17: until President Woodrow Wilson, of all people, of all people,
Speaker 17: in nineteen sixteen entered legislation, but it didn't take and
Speaker 17: then it wasn't until nineteen forty nine. So you think
Speaker 17: about that, thirty three years later, the National Flag Day
Speaker 17: was adopted by an Act of Congress. Isn't that something?
Speaker 3: It is? It's sad when you think about it, but
Speaker 3: thank god at least they got around to it, right.
Speaker 1: Right, right?
Speaker 17: I guess World War One kind of set it aside
Speaker 17: in sixteen.
Speaker 1: I don't know a little distracted by that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can imagine anyway, I tell you what we're
Speaker 3: up at a break, but we'll continue to talk about
Speaker 3: the reason we fly the flag and why we should
Speaker 3: and the events coming up more with Steve Belzo from

Speaker 3: Steve Belzo in studio, Executive director of the Comic County
Speaker 3: Veterans Commission, talking about Flag Day. It's next Saturday, and
Speaker 3: I have the honor of participating in the flag retirement
Speaker 3: ceremony every year will be at the Union Township Civic Center,
Speaker 3: and I'm going to be honored to say a few
Speaker 3: words there and learn how to properly dispose of a flag.
Speaker 3: And there is a proper way, right, And let's maybe
Speaker 3: briefly talk about that, Steve.
Speaker 17: Sure, you know most people are flying a flag that's tattered, torn, worn, dirty.
Speaker 1: Don't let Steve tam see that.
Speaker 17: No, And then.
Speaker 1: He'll give you an earfull.
Speaker 17: Homeowners aren't sure what to do. They may throw it
Speaker 17: in the trash, they may just let it continue to
Speaker 17: fly in this ragged captain.
Speaker 1: Faded. Really, it's almost like a white piece of cloth
Speaker 1: at right the time.
Speaker 17: Right so that there is a serviceability to our United
Speaker 17: States flag. And when you see it starting to tear
Speaker 17: or it's becoming fraid worn, faded out, pull it down,
Speaker 17: put up a fresh one. But now what do I
Speaker 17: do with the one I just retired? Great question. There
Speaker 17: is a description in many military manuals and the Department
Speaker 17: Offense of how we retire and dispose of a flag.
Speaker 17: And that's done in a discrete ceremony, Brian. It's not
Speaker 17: done by wearing it into a new pair of shorts.
Speaker 17: We're not burning it in the front yard. It is
Speaker 17: a small, discrete way. Matter of fact that Claremont County veterans,
Speaker 17: we have a box where you can I buy another
Speaker 17: hook to dispose of your worn flag and we will
Speaker 17: take care of that discrete flag ceremony for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's all what the flag retirement ceremony is
Speaker 3: all about. And there are drop off locations all around.
Speaker 3: It doesn't take much to find out where they are.
Speaker 3: It makes sure you just don't throw it in the trash.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is absolutely it's a sign of disrespect.
Speaker 3: And if you really truly have respect for the flag
Speaker 3: as well, you should. You should take care of it
Speaker 3: properly when it's reached the end of its life and
Speaker 3: don't fly a tattered, worn flag that in and of
Speaker 3: itself is a sign of disrespect. And that's the purpose
Speaker 3: of retiring the flag. Why should we fly the flag?
Speaker 3: I have one minds up all the time.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: I love driving into my driveway and see my flag
Speaker 3: hanging there, right, because again, freedom it is.
Speaker 17: It is freedom. But there are some caveat with that.
Speaker 17: If you were flying your flag twenty four hours a
Speaker 17: day from dusk to dawn, she should be illuminated. There
Speaker 17: should be lights illuminating her. Otherwise we take it down
Speaker 17: at night. Yes, that is respectful. It's not to be
Speaker 17: hanging out beside the tree, and I guess they'll see
Speaker 17: it in the morning, So have it illuminated at night.
Speaker 17: Many of these flagpoles today have this rechargeable battery and
Speaker 17: they shine down on the flag, and that's the purpose.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 17: So I love my neighbors and all and people like
Speaker 17: you that are standing for liberty, justice and freedom for all,
Speaker 17: which is what that great flag stands for. The whole
Speaker 17: world recognizes the United States flag.
Speaker 1: They do.
Speaker 3: And you know what I pointed out off air that
Speaker 3: you know, I think one of the tragedies, if you
Speaker 3: can even call that, of the fall of the Soviet Union,
Speaker 3: that was our moral barometer. That was the country of
Speaker 3: breadlines and political prisoners and oppression, right and outright murder
Speaker 3: of citizenry. You think about Stalin and all the people
Speaker 3: that they killed, because you know, good ideas don't require force.
Speaker 3: Bad ideas require force. Right, the flag represents the antithesis
Speaker 3: of that.
Speaker 17: When you are taking a naval or model forward to
Speaker 17: a foreign country. We see four pillars of power in
Speaker 17: the United States or of any government, diplomacy, information, military,
Speaker 17: and economic. When they see the military force off their
Speaker 17: shores flying the United States flag, they know whose navy
Speaker 17: and Marines are on board. It is a show of force,
Speaker 17: and it is a force of strength because they can
Speaker 17: recognize the flag that's flying.
Speaker 3: And the accomplishments of the American military in the name
Speaker 3: of freedom. I mean, we're not perfect.
Speaker 1: Nobody has that's right. Nobody is well trying.
Speaker 3: We're not going to come there to conquer you, take
Speaker 3: you over and force things upon you or lock you
Speaker 3: up for your thoughts and beliefs.
Speaker 17: It's freeing other citizens in other countries bring in diplomacy.
Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to encourage all my listeners to if
Speaker 3: you don't have a flag, why not get one?
Speaker 17: Why they're inexpensive. Matter of fact, if you need one
Speaker 17: to fly, come see me in the Clarmont County Office.
Speaker 1: I have one for you.
Speaker 17: Then you will fly respectfully from a proper position in
Speaker 17: front of your house. But I gotta say, Brian Flag
Speaker 17: Day June fourteenth is also the Armies, my sisters and
Speaker 17: another service two hundred and fiftieth birthday exactly? Is that
Speaker 17: a by centennial and a half. I don't know how
Speaker 17: to count that. I'll just say two fifty.
Speaker 3: It's an amazing accomplishment. And I I read the article
Speaker 3: this morning from the head of the Defense Department. He
Speaker 3: wrote a letter just sort of proudly letting everyone know
Speaker 3: that the Army has already met its recruiting goals. Sixty
Speaker 3: one thousand enlistedes four months ahead of schedule, and we
Speaker 3: were behind for the last four years. Yes, no one
Speaker 3: was signing up. And gee, I wonder why things have
Speaker 3: changed when you look at.
Speaker 17: The size of our Navy and our army. It takes
Speaker 17: an exceedingly large combine to bring enough young men and
Speaker 17: women in to fill the ranks for them to exceed
Speaker 17: this goal. Is a phenomenal effort by the Army. Good
Speaker 17: on them, Good on them, and good on you again.
Speaker 17: Klaimont County Veterans Service Commission. Amazing services they offer for
Speaker 17: my veterans in the community. You need help with the
Speaker 17: A benefits and the services, outreach programs, financial assistance. You
Speaker 17: could just go down the line. It would take me
Speaker 17: a couple of hours to get through it.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 3: You need to talk to Steve and the good people
Speaker 3: to the climat County Veteran Service Commission, and maybe even
Speaker 3: pick up a flag if you don't have one. I'm
Speaker 3: very kind of you to offer that and thank you
Speaker 3: again for your service to our country.
Speaker 1: Steve.
Speaker 3: It's always a pleasure seeing you. And I'll be at
Speaker 3: the Union Cemetery or the Union Civic Center, Union Township
Speaker 3: next Saturday. What time is it start one one o'clock,
Speaker 3: so be there and you can also witness how to
Speaker 3: properly dispose of a flag. The Boy Scouts always show
Speaker 3: up and go through that procedure and it's a wonder
Speaker 3: wonderful event. Gentlemen, take care, great seeing you and proudly
Speaker 3: support the United States flag or remember the freedom that
Speaker 3: it stands for.
Speaker 1: Ryan, Thanks for your support, brother, my pleasure.

Speaker 3: which I let my listeners though is s O T
Speaker 3: I dash hvac dot com. You can get all the
Speaker 3: information about the program. And also I wanted to focus
Speaker 3: on the Shore grant s h O R let my
Speaker 3: listeners know about that.
Speaker 16: Yeah, the Short grand is a great uh, is a
Speaker 16: great tool financing tool, Okay for these young people that
Speaker 16: are wanting to get into the industry. And for the vets.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 16: The Charles Shore Foundation has partnered with our school and
Speaker 16: for the veteran I'll go over those first.
Speaker 1: Please veteran uh.
Speaker 16: For the veterans, UH, they can come to our school
Speaker 16: and say if the veteran has already exhausted his post
Speaker 16: nine to eleven benefits and maybe went to another school
Speaker 16: and he's uh went through that four year course or
Speaker 16: whatever and the business course and you know he figured
Speaker 16: out what that really isn't what I wanted to do.
Speaker 16: But now his benefits have been exhausted. Okay, we come
Speaker 16: in with the Charles Short brand and we will give
Speaker 16: that veteran a full ride okay to our school. And
Speaker 16: that full ride will include would pull tuition. It includes
Speaker 16: actually a gas stiphen for them to come to and
Speaker 16: from school, and we also provide tools for them to
Speaker 16: start into the industry after they after they have graduated.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's great and God bless you and for helping
Speaker 3: out the American veterans because you know this is the
Speaker 3: g I Bill cover this as well.
Speaker 16: You know, well the GI Bill does cover it. That is,
Speaker 16: so many veterans go out into the world and when
Speaker 16: they actually when they come in and they get out
Speaker 16: of the armed forces, unfortunately, you know, they go into
Speaker 16: something and they spend their benefits and they do something
Speaker 16: that they really don't want and by the time they
Speaker 16: realize that their benefits have been exhausted. Okay, and uh
Speaker 16: that's where we step in with the Charles Shore grants
Speaker 16: and we take care of this. But yes, to answer
Speaker 16: your question, if you're rush out of the service, absolutely,
Speaker 16: your your post nine to eleven benefits will cover the
Speaker 16: school tuition.
Speaker 3: Perfect fit for military veterans looking for a career path.
Speaker 3: It sounds like now I'm guessing and you can fill
Speaker 3: in the blanks for me, Mike, that HVAC companies out
Speaker 3: there who I guess are searching for people for these
Speaker 3: roles know about the Southern High Technical Institute. Are they
Speaker 3: knocking on your door asking for graduates?
Speaker 16: Oh? Absolutely, we get tons and tons of phone calls
Speaker 16: every day, and real quick, I want to kind of
Speaker 16: step back a little bit too. We also have this program,
Speaker 16: Charles Shore Grant available for high school students. Okay, mister
Speaker 16: Shore thinks that that is a very important part, Okay,
Speaker 16: that these high school students need to be aware of
Speaker 16: that they have options. They don't always have to go
Speaker 16: to college.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 16: And so we offer the same benefit. If you were
Speaker 16: a a student in high school and you are ninety
Speaker 16: days before graduation or ninety days after graduation, you were
Speaker 16: eligible for this Charles Shore Grant.
Speaker 3: Oh that's fantastic. I know there's some parents out there.
Speaker 3: They'll be steering their kids in the direction of the
Speaker 3: Southern High Technical Institute because yeah, I mean, you can
Speaker 3: work your entire life in the HVAC A refrigeration industry.
Speaker 3: You can put a food on your family's table, a
Speaker 3: career opportunity, and you don't have to go into debt
Speaker 3: one hundred plus thousand dollars. With a college education, you
Speaker 3: may come out the other side that if you find
Speaker 3: out it's worthless.
Speaker 16: Yeah, and not to mention think about this. A lot
Speaker 16: of these careers are a lot of these educations, that's
Speaker 16: so called educations, okay, and they're great educations in a
Speaker 16: lot of cases. But guess what we have the new
Speaker 16: factor going in AI. We don't have to worry about
Speaker 16: AI and our industry quite honestly, because you know what,
Speaker 16: you always are going to have to be kept warm,
Speaker 16: always going to.
Speaker 2: Need your.
Speaker 16: Refrigeration for your grocery industry, so on and so forth.
Speaker 16: So guess what we're not going to be affected by.
Speaker 1: AI, nor is this job.
Speaker 16: It's just a great, great thing to get into. And
Speaker 16: I think that. And when you mentioned about hiring and
Speaker 16: companies calling us, they call us every day. We actually
Speaker 16: have two large job fairs every year which involves about
Speaker 16: sixteen of the local companies around the greater Cincinnati area
Speaker 16: and our school. Presently, for our graduates, we're at about
Speaker 16: an eighty five percent job placement. So we not only
Speaker 16: will educate you, we also it's serious business for us.
Speaker 16: We want to see you out there and work, and
Speaker 16: so we are involved from A to Z from the
Speaker 16: time you go to school till the time you get
Speaker 16: hired with a company.
Speaker 3: Well, and I'd recommend my listeners check out the website again.
Speaker 3: It's SOTI Technical Institute s t I dash hvac dot com.
Speaker 3: You got some really interesting and sort of moving stories
Speaker 3: about some of the graduates overcoming challenges in life and
Speaker 3: pursuing this as a career absent or after efforts in
Speaker 3: other areas. Because you alluded to veterans sometimes find themselves
Speaker 3: in a job that they really don't like and this

Speaker 3: Love the fellowship at listener lunch and if you haven't
Speaker 3: been to one, maybe you come up to the show
Speaker 3: up today and welcoming back to the fifty five CARS
Speaker 3: Morning Show. One of the more prominent figures behind the
Speaker 3: signature drive to save Hyde Park Square, John Zinzer, Welcome
Speaker 3: back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show and a
Speaker 3: big congratulations see you and all the signature gatherers for
Speaker 3: really hitting a home run and getting way more than
Speaker 3: was needed to get on the ballot this November.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Brian, and I'm no more significant than all
Speaker 2: three hundred for the people who are out there more
Speaker 2: than three hundred collecting signatures.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it having us back.
Speaker 3: And as you mentioned last time, you were on folks
Speaker 3: from all kinds of neighborhoods throughout the city of Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: We're backing this because you know, as I mentioned before,
Speaker 3: I think it's there. But for the grace of God,
Speaker 3: go iy it happened to Bond Hill. It happened to
Speaker 3: Hyde Park since the city Council, you know, modifying the
Speaker 3: zoning rules to help well connected developers do what they
Speaker 3: want in the face of what their own constituents wanted.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just I get so irked by this
Speaker 3: John that they absolutely flat out refused to listen to
Speaker 3: the throngs that showed up in opposition to this hotel
Speaker 3: and apartment and underground parking. I mean, it's described as
Speaker 3: a boutique hotel. It's not like that's going to solve
Speaker 3: the homeless problem or the housing shorts in the city
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati. Plus, I mean when you look at the
Speaker 3: designs and the drawing of it, yes, it is about
Speaker 3: the size in many cases, Despite what council Member Mika
Speaker 3: Owens said about it, I'm wi you.
Speaker 2: We're really proud of the twenty two different neighborhoods that
Speaker 2: were represented in the among the collectors, the circulators of petitions,
Speaker 2: and we had signatures from all over the city. And
Speaker 2: you're word that may be a really good one, right
Speaker 2: there is. People are irked, people would like to be heard.
Speaker 2: We gave city Council chance after chance after chance, starting
Speaker 2: in January at the Planning Commission staff meeting, more than
Speaker 2: seven hundred emails, sixty people speaking against, four people speaking for.
Speaker 2: That was a really good chance where we could have
Speaker 2: just said, you know what, this isn't the right way
Speaker 2: to go, let's do something else. They didn't. Here's the
Speaker 2: really good news today though, we are giving City Council
Speaker 2: yet another chance. They have a wonderful second opportunity today
Speaker 2: to begin the process. They could excuse me, repeal the
Speaker 2: decision from April twenty third, and everything could get started.
Speaker 2: We want the smart development. We're open to the developer
Speaker 2: engaging with us and sticking to the zon and that
Speaker 2: could happen. All City Council has to do is repeal
Speaker 2: their decision. They have that opportunity now, and if they don't,
Speaker 2: and I have to say, I really wonder I don't
Speaker 2: have a crystal ball. I'm not going to try to
Speaker 2: predict what City Council would do. We are ready and
Speaker 2: waiting to go into a ballot drive. I feel very
Speaker 2: comfortable that we can motivate the same kind of response
Speaker 2: we got to the signatures to turn out voters and
Speaker 2: have people say you have to listen to the neighborhoods,
Speaker 2: you have to listen to the people. You can't just
Speaker 2: listen to the developers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this concept really, this voter initiative, the citizen
Speaker 3: initiative to have control over their lives. I think it
Speaker 3: just it transcends development. I mean, you're taking a stand
Speaker 3: against a council who won't listen. I don't care what
Speaker 3: issue it is. I mean there was no question and
Speaker 3: I go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and I touched on this once before. I
Speaker 2: believe in a twenty twenty four place on engagement for
Speaker 2: the city, ten glassy pages beautifully produced, the words neighborhood
Speaker 2: council and community council don't appear once. This administration and
Speaker 2: this iteration of City Council is very clear that they
Speaker 2: know what we need and they don't need to hear
Speaker 2: from us. Yeah, they really want our vote, they really
Speaker 2: don't want our voice. Is how it feels. And that's
Speaker 2: what this is really about. And that's why I have
Speaker 2: such comfort about November. If it comes to that again,
Speaker 2: I think City Council should do the right thing and
Speaker 2: repeal this right now. But if they don't, I think
Speaker 2: citizens are going to show up. And if I ask
Speaker 2: you the question, hey, do you want to say in
Speaker 2: what goes on in your neighborhood or do you want
Speaker 2: a developer to make a little bit more money. I
Speaker 2: think I'll get the right answer to that most times.
Speaker 1: John, with our question. And you know what, this is
Speaker 1: kind of like it's supposed to be.
Speaker 3: And I think council and the mayor of lost the
Speaker 3: conc of representative democracy. The citizens of the city of
Speaker 3: Cincinnati didn't elect this group to be dictators and control
Speaker 3: exclusively the direction of the city. They're there to represent
Speaker 3: the will of the citizenry, which differs from neighborhood to neighborhood.
Speaker 3: That's what irked me about the connected communities thing. They
Speaker 3: shoved down everybody suits. They didn't listen to any local
Speaker 3: communities about that. Some embraced the concept, others outright wanted
Speaker 3: to reject it, but they all wanted control locally. And
Speaker 3: all the communities are different in many respects. I mean
Speaker 3: the Hyde Park is a great illustration of that. You're
Speaker 3: not the same as bond Hill. You guys have different
Speaker 3: needs and different ones and different desires by the citizens.
Speaker 3: But again it's the citizen who should control. Conceptually, the
Speaker 3: direction of the city goes.
Speaker 2: Well and specifically neighborhood by neighborhood, as you're saying, we
Speaker 2: have fifty two fantastic neighborhoods across the city, and many
Speaker 2: of them were represented in this effort. From Mount Washington
Speaker 2: all the way to Salor Park. They showed up because
Speaker 2: they agree with what you're saying. Of we should get
Speaker 2: a say, and it's not just being known. I don't
Speaker 2: want to split a hair here. I know City Council listened,
Speaker 2: but I know we weren't heard. And I've seen plenty
Speaker 2: of op eds and plenty of Reddit pieces that say, oh,
Speaker 2: they just don't like the answer. Oh, Hyde Park, it's
Speaker 2: just another nimby thing. This is anything but not in
Speaker 2: my backyard. This is not in our city. We want
Speaker 2: a representative government that not only listens or shows up
Speaker 2: and sits in the room while we're talking, but communicates
Speaker 2: and engages. And that's what we're asking from the developer
Speaker 2: as well. City Hall and the developer, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: have engaged in this in a very similar manner. They
Speaker 2: want to do what they want to do.
Speaker 6: They have not.
Speaker 2: Engaged in real dialogue. We certainly sat down with many
Speaker 2: different council members at different times, some of them took
Speaker 2: the time to come out to the square, et cetera,
Speaker 2: but we were not heard. The way to do this
Speaker 2: was to stop it and say, no, we have We're
Speaker 2: not giving the PD. We're not giving planned development just
Speaker 2: because somebody asks for it, and we really want to
Speaker 2: see that change. And again, city Council has the opportunity.
Speaker 2: We don't have to wait until November to move forward
Speaker 2: with this development. We are good for smart development and
Speaker 2: the zoning is fine. The local zoning could work. We
Speaker 2: have had other developers say I could make money within
Speaker 2: the local zoning. Sure they could make more money. Why
Speaker 2: don't we just let them build one hundred stories and
Speaker 2: see how much money they could make off of that.
Speaker 2: So our goal right now, I would encourage City Council
Speaker 2: to hear us do the repeal, do the right thing.
Speaker 2: That would help the developer to get started on the process.
Speaker 2: It would help the citizens to both feel heard and
Speaker 2: know that the current zoning is being respected and that
Speaker 2: there'll be some engagement from day one. We've only asked
Speaker 2: for one thing, that zoning be respected and we engage
Speaker 2: with the developer in the process. That's all we've asked for.
Speaker 2: And eighteen four hundred plus people said yeah, we should
Speaker 2: even vote on that rather than this just going through.
Speaker 1: Amen to that.
Speaker 3: Well, I think illustrative of the attitude of council when
Speaker 3: I asked, I believe about repealing it, because the various
Speaker 3: council members were asked about that, Why just throw in
Speaker 3: the towel and just repeal the variance of the zoning.
Speaker 3: Council member Mika Owens quoted as saying the following, we
Speaker 3: are leaving all options open. There's where the sailing part
Speaker 3: comes in. During tough decisions, I have centered myself in
Speaker 3: my values. The high park development required me to critically
Speaker 3: to do it critically centering values around accessible housing for all,
Speaker 3: support for small businesses, and more spaces for the people
Speaker 3: of our city to gather in community. Whatever the hell
Speaker 3: that's supposed to mean. This referendum is not about the height.
Speaker 3: This referendum is on development as a whole. I will
Speaker 3: always to stand behind projects that share my value use
Speaker 3: for collective and collaborative growth for the people of the
Speaker 3: city of Cincinnati. I mean, it's all about what she wants.
Speaker 3: Apparently I hear those two minds in there. That last
Speaker 3: line about collective and collaborative. There was nothing collective or
Speaker 3: collaborative about this process with either the developer or city council.
Speaker 3: The other piece that's in there, there's nothing in here
Speaker 3: about housing that actually is going to work for the community,
Speaker 3: that what we actually.
Speaker 1: Need in this city.
Speaker 2: This is a money making, profit driven piece for the developer,
Speaker 2: and that is fine. I want developers to make a good,
Speaker 2: solid profit. That makes great sense, but it shouldn't be
Speaker 2: cloaked in oh, we're getting city housing. No, you're getting
Speaker 2: a hotel, and you're getting stuff that's going to be
Speaker 2: beyond the price range of the vast majority of citizens
Speaker 2: of this city. That's not answering the issue of the moment.
Speaker 1: It isn't well.
Speaker 3: Her values for collective and collaborative growth apparently don't mean
Speaker 3: elaborate collaborating with the citizen ry.
Speaker 1: Johnsons or Is you.
Speaker 2: Pointed out those were two bad choices of words and
Speaker 2: the other pieces. Have you ever been to Hyde Park Square,
Speaker 2: for say, the Farmer's Market on Sunday or even just
Speaker 2: a regular summer weeknight. There are people in the square
Speaker 2: all the time. It is one of the most livable
Speaker 2: community places in this city, and it's a real treasure.
Speaker 2: And this would quite simply change that on the forever.
Speaker 2: It would be a complete change in how people could
Speaker 2: live there. We would actually lose what I think she's saying.
Speaker 2: She's very much for of places where people can gather.
Speaker 1: Well, let's hope they do the right thing.
Speaker 3: Actually, I believe repealing the zoning variants and going back
Speaker 3: to square one will probably help them in their re
Speaker 3: election efforts in November. But let them sink or swim
Speaker 3: on the weight of their own decision making.
Speaker 2: I'm not a political expert, but I can't imagine any
Speaker 2: of their political directors are going, oh, yeah, this is
Speaker 2: a great issue for us. For the seven people who
Speaker 2: voted the way they did, I don't think they want
Speaker 2: to be going looking for getting re elected with us
Speaker 2: walking around behind them saying you voted the wrong way
Speaker 2: on this, and all those people from all those neighborhoods
Speaker 2: with them. I really hope they will help us, help
Speaker 2: the developer, and help themselves by doing the right thing
Speaker 2: and repealing.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a good campaign for Corey Bowman. I don't
Speaker 3: care how you feel one way or another about Corey Bowman,
Speaker 3: but he has at least that issue to run on
Speaker 3: the current circumstances John's inzer. I'm really impressed by you
Speaker 3: and the team and the hard work that you put
Speaker 3: into this, making a stand for the right thing and
Speaker 3: standing up to a council who obviously is not listening.
Speaker 3: This is a true showing of representative democracy and action
Speaker 3: and the people wanting the representatives to do what they
Speaker 3: want and go in the direction they want. So great
Speaker 3: illustration of what can be done when you put some
Speaker 3: effort behind it. John, keep up the great work, and
Speaker 3: let's hope they repeal it, but if not, we're off
Speaker 3: with the polls in November.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian.
Speaker 2: It is a great team and we really appreciate your support.
Speaker 3: I'm happy to be here to let people know about
Speaker 3: it and talk about it, because again you can tell
Speaker 3: by my agitated voice that it really really irked me
Speaker 3: to know when John, good luck. We'll talk again before November.
Speaker 3: If they don't repeal it, I'm certain of that.

Speaker 1: Shame on those who voted for it. You know you
Speaker 1: did wrong.
Speaker 12: You know it.
Speaker 3: He wanted more cuts. Donald Trump having a go at
Speaker 3: Senator Rand Paul. My friends in the Commonwealth, do you
Speaker 3: agree with Donald Trump? He had a follow up to
Speaker 3: his original to eat Senator ran Paul has very little
Speaker 3: understanding of this bb of the BBB, especially the tremendous
Speaker 3: growth that is coming. He loves voting no on everything.
Speaker 3: He thinks it's good politics, but it's not. The BBB
Speaker 3: is a big winner. Followed up by Rand votes no
Speaker 3: on everything, but never has any practical or constructive ideas.
Speaker 3: His ideas are actually crazy parenthetical losers exclamation point. The
Speaker 3: people of Kentucky can't stand him. My friends in the
Speaker 3: Commonwealth really feel that way about Senator ran Paul, who
Speaker 3: clearly does have practical or constructive ideas. He doesn't want
Speaker 3: to increase the debt ceiling five trillion dollars, five trillion dollars,
Speaker 3: and it doesn't cut enough the salt deduction's gone up
Speaker 3: to forty thousand dollars. Republicans did that thanks to three states.
Speaker 3: And here's the proof that Ran Paul knows what's in it.
Speaker 3: Let me quote the Senator. I support the tax cuts.
Speaker 3: I voted for them in twenty seventeen. I support making
Speaker 3: the tax cuts permanent. I support and voted for basically
Speaker 3: allowing the tips the note tax on tips, and in fact,
Speaker 3: it passed the Senate unanimously. I'm hoping they will do
Speaker 3: that in the House and take it out of the
Speaker 3: big beautiful bill and do it separately by unanimous consent.
Speaker 3: If we do that, it actually makes the bill a
Speaker 3: little easier in terms of the accounting numbers if that
Speaker 3: part's taken out. I'm for the tax cuts, for making
Speaker 3: the tax cuts permanent, he repeated. I'm for as many
Speaker 3: spending cuts as we can get Republicans to vote for.
Speaker 3: But even if that's not perfect, I'd still vote for
Speaker 3: the tax cuts and the spending cuts. The thing I
Speaker 3: am adamantly opposed to is raising the debt ceiling by
Speaker 3: five trillion dollars. Now here's what, in contrast to what
Speaker 3: Donald Trump says, he has no practical or constructive ideas.
Speaker 3: Let me pivot over to what Paul said. I've proposed
Speaker 3: an alternative. Instead of five trillion, which is estimated to
Speaker 3: be two years worth of debt, I've said, let's do
Speaker 3: three months worth of debt, because I don't trust the
Speaker 3: Republican leadership to an act spending cuts. He's got a
Speaker 3: historic foundation upon which to make that statement too. I
Speaker 3: might interject, we'd give them three months worth, which is
Speaker 3: about five hundred billion, which is hard to believe that
Speaker 3: five hundred billion is only three months of borrowing. Borrow
Speaker 3: for three months, and then have the debate again. I
Speaker 3: have the opposite opinion of what many others have. People say,
Speaker 3: we don't want to vote on the debt ceiling. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 3: Let's just do two years and then we only have
Speaker 3: to vote once during the entire Trump administration. I'd vote
Speaker 3: on it every day if I had the choice three months,
Speaker 3: three or four or five months. It's more reasonable.
Speaker 1: And amen to that.
Speaker 3: How about delivering on the maybe more difficult things, cutting
Speaker 3: non discretionary spending, which they're endeavoring to do with the
Speaker 3: nine point four billion dollar DOGE cut proposal. According to
Speaker 3: Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday in a statement today, we have
Speaker 3: officially received the recisions request. I mean we've got we
Speaker 3: got budget reconciliation, which only requires a majority in the Senate,
Speaker 3: barely barely past the House. Because it didn't cut enough.
Speaker 3: You got an uphill challenge in the Senate with Paul
Speaker 3: among others. There are other senators who are not pleased
Speaker 3: because well you got Senator Ron Johnson Wisconsin blasting the
Speaker 3: bill for not cutting enough spending. Rick Scott of Florida
Speaker 3: also calling for fiscal sanity in the bill. You can't
Speaker 3: lose many or any really when it comes right down
Speaker 3: to it to get fifty one. But anyway, that's under reconciliation.
Speaker 3: But insofar as recision, we've officially received the recision request
Speaker 3: from the White House to eliminate nine point four billion
Speaker 3: in wasteful foreign aid spending at State and USAID and
Speaker 3: the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds MPR and PBS.
Speaker 1: The House will act quickly on this request.
Speaker 3: The recision package reflects many of Doge's findings, and as
Speaker 3: one of the many legislative tools Republicans are using to
Speaker 3: restore fiscal sanity. Congress will continue working closely with the
Speaker 3: White House to codify these recommendations, and the House will
Speaker 3: bring the package to the floor as quickly as possible. See,
Speaker 3: I think this is leverage to get people who don't
Speaker 3: really truly believe that the Republicans, like Senator Ram Paul,
Speaker 3: doesn't believe that the Republicans actually move forward in advance
Speaker 3: bills that will cut spending.
Speaker 1: So magically.
Speaker 3: On the while the Senate is considering the big, beautiful
Speaker 3: little bill, and you got guys like Senator Ran Paul
Speaker 3: talking about five trillion dollars and sadly the only one
Speaker 3: that sounds like he's voicing his concerns over digging us
Speaker 3: out into a far bigger hole. They toss out this
Speaker 3: recision bill to eliminate eight nine point four billion. Now
Speaker 3: that's a lot of money, but it's nowhere near the
Speaker 3: amount of money that needs to be cut out of
Speaker 3: a federal government. Why because we spend trillions of dollars
Speaker 3: more than we take in every year, or rather they do,
Speaker 3: and many of commented, the Republicans are going to own
Speaker 3: the national debt once they've passed this five trillion dollar increase,
Speaker 3: they're going to blow through that. You know, it's happening.
Speaker 3: They haven't cut enough to pair back what they spend.
Speaker 3: Every year, year after year after year, the hole gets
Speaker 3: deeper and the debt service on what we borrow gets bigger,
Speaker 3: and it cut requires more money. North of a trillion
Speaker 3: dollars in debt service one hundred and twenty two percent
Speaker 3: of gross domestic product already. You haven't seen numbers like
Speaker 3: this outside of wartime, and we're not in a war.
Speaker 1: Yet.
Speaker 3: Eight fifty five fifty five KR see de talk station
Speaker 3: talk about an existential threat. I know, I hate you
