Got some great stuff going down this 9 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:44.759 morning on the Rundown. Guests began at seven o five. 10 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:46.719 Of course it's Wednesday. It means we get the big 11 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:52.600 picture with Jack Aviden today. Beware what you read on 12 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:58.679 the beach. That should be interesting. Jack's always an amazing 13 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.719 uh intellectual and we'll find out what he meant by 14 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.760 that be where you read on the beach. I always 15 00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.159 love hearing from Jack advident dot on any Americans for prosperity. 16 00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.519 They got the Ohio Cent and Budget Bill. Yes, it 17 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.879 does include the two point seventy five percent flat tax proposal, 18 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.359 lowering the income tax as opposed to a graded income tax, 19 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.200 just a plain old two point seventy five percent flat tax, 20 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:28.680 but also a grant for the Cleveland Browns Stadium six 21 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.599 hundred million dollars to get to that. Claremont County Vener 22 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.719 Service t Belzo for the and at seven forty to 23 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.079 talk about Flag Day, which is coming up. Mike Tribble, 24 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.079 the Director and instructor for the Southern Ohio Technical Institute, 25 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.000 Trade Schools and Special and Special Opportunities at the Southern 26 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.000 Ohio Tech Institute been I've been all about the trades 27 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.319 of lay. I know how many jobs are out there 28 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.959 and available. I've been dovetailing that in with the idea 29 00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.480 of requiring folks that are able bodied and capable of 30 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.680 work from being obligated to do something in furtherance of 31 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:08.199 their future and independence by having to work twenty hours 32 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.360 a week. How many hours do you work a week, 33 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.639 Probably forty, maybe more. Yeah, only twenty a week to 34 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.719 get medicaid. So if you're able bodied, get out there, 35 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.879 get into trade school, and take advantage of the opportunity 36 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.800 of getting yourself off the umbilical court of government. By Tripple, 37 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.319 we'll be talking exactly about that at eight oh five, 38 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.080 followed by John Zenzer the Save Pike Hyde Park Square. 39 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.879 John Zenzer no relation to Todd Zenzer. Last name spelled 40 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.039 differently anyway. A voting issue is going to be up 41 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.199 for the voter's decision in November. A huge victory for 42 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.800 not just Hyde Park, for all the neighborhoods in the 43 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.719 City of Cincinnati. I love the fact that they were 44 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.800 able to get so many signatures in that campaign and 45 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.240 that signature drive in such a short period of time. 46 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.240 Your voice will be heard, in spite of the fact 47 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.360 that since a city council refused to live listen to 48 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.479 the voice of the folks in Hyde Park in connection 49 00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.599 with that variance that they allowed for the building of 50 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.960 that monstrous hotel which would completely change the look and 51 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.039 feel and dynamics of Hyde Park Square, which you know, 52 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.000 aren't the residents in a neighborhood allowed to determine their 53 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.280 own future and destiny, Not according to the City of Cincinnati, 54 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.039 the mayor and the city Council. Anyway, That's what's coming 55 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.319 up on the morning show. I always love to hear 56 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.639 from you. You've got a comment about something five one, three, seven, 57 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.039 four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to 58 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.080 three talk or go with pound five fifty on at 59 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:47.120 and g Funes. Moving aside from the Senate version of 60 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.240 the budget, they announced their version of the state budget yesterday. 61 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.120 Slide increase in public school funding and the thing that's 62 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.319 got me are the six hundred million dollars which is 63 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.800 now described as a grant the Senate's version, it's not 64 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.120 bond issue. It is a straight out grant to the 65 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.479 Cleveland Browns for the new stadium. And yes, it's important 66 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.479 that their version of the budget also includes that two 67 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.639 point seventy five percent flat tax, which we'll be talking 68 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:19.920 about later with Donovan O'Neil. But it includes six hundred 69 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.000 million dollars for the new Cleveland Browns Stadium in brook Park. Now, 70 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.920 the funding different from what the Browns proposed to what 71 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.800 the House approved earlier this year, which was borrowing six 72 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.079 hundred million dollars by issuing bonds and then having to 73 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.959 repay the debt with interest over twenty five years for 74 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.199 a total cost of a billion dollars. Now you've got 75 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.519 to scratch your head when you look at the Senates 76 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.319 version of the bill, which reveals that we've got four 77 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.160 point eight billion dollars in unclaimed funds. A high Department 78 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.639 of Commerce website says it's sitting on four point eight 79 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:59.560 billion dollars the state's holding that it's actually that money 80 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.879 is a emulated from things like forgotten bank accounts, rent 81 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.160 or utility deposits or uncashed insurance policies. So somewhere out 82 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.720 there someone failed to take advantage of this money. The 83 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.079 higher Department of Commerce, I guess, is sitting on it. 84 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.600 But it's four point eight billion dollars. That's a whole 85 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:22.959 lot of money. So the Senate's proposing a six hundred 86 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.639 million dollar grant from for the stadium out of that money, 87 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.839 which I will admit it makes more sense to go 88 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.720 ahead and hand that money over and not incur debt 89 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.639 totaling one billion dollars having to pay it back over 90 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.000 twenty five years with interest. But more fundamentally, why in 91 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:42.360 the hell are we giving them the money in the 92 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.879 first place. I'm sorry, during the five o'clock hour, I 93 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.360 can say, without concern for the FCC, this kind of 94 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.240 thing really just pisses me off. 95 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:54.759 Oh we'll make it back. 96 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.680 Senate thinks to state will more than recoup the quote 97 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:04.439 unquote investment through sales tax, income tax, and commercial activity 98 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.360 revenues from this one hundred and seventy six acre Brook 99 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:15.759 Park Stadium district that they're building from scratch, bread and circuses. 100 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:25.480 Then the Roman Empire collapse on that kind of thing. Well, 101 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:34.959 it had difficulty maintaining the ever growing expansive empire that 102 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.879 had created through wars. But nonetheless, there's always so much 103 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.879 you can pay for, which is kind of Rand Paul's 104 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.360 point on the Big Beautiful Bill, and he and Donald 105 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:51.279 Trump going at it back and forth. Donald Trump having 106 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.839 a jab at Rand Paul over his concerns about increasing 107 00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:00.680 the debt five trillion dollars a debt limit, claiming that 108 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.279 Senator Ran Paul has little understanding of the budget bill. 109 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.519 Paul's chief criticism of the bill is not most of 110 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.399 the things that are in it, which he's in favor of. 111 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.519 Even he's on record as saying that he just pointed 112 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:19.160 out the math doesn't add up. Said, one of the 113 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.839 things in the Big Beautiful Bill is that the vehicle 114 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.279 for increasing spending for the military and the border. It's 115 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.360 about three hundred and twenty billion in new spending, he 116 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.439 pointed out. To put it in perspective, he said, that's 117 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.279 more than all the DOGE cuts that we found so far, 118 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.720 stating the obvious. Now, I applauded the work to Elon 119 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.279 Musk had done, but it didn't come anywhere near the 120 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.199 one trillion dollars he was hoping to cut out of 121 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.199 the federal government, at least identify four cuts out of 122 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.839 the federal government. We've got a nine point four billion 123 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.120 dollar Doge cut bill heading for Capitol Hill, I think, 124 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.319 which is designed to, you know, appease and assuage some 125 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.839 of the concerns that are well articulated and stated by 126 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.000 some of the senators who also in addition, Senator Ran Paul, 127 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:04.000 who's facing most of the yre have also come out 128 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.480 with concerns. I think there's a total of four senators 129 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.240 who are like, I don't think so, and you can't 130 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.079 afford to lose that many on given the margins in 131 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.759 the Senate. Hell, the bill only passed by one vote 132 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:20.160 in the House. Paul called it a big a bill 133 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.240 by the military industrial complex advocates who are padding the 134 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.800 military budgets. I think they're asking for too much money. 135 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.319 And in the end, the way he added up, how 136 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:32.200 much debt are you going to borrow? Five trillion over 137 00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:35.879 two years? That is an enormous amount. He pointed out, Yeah, 138 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:42.000 it is. We have never raised the debt ceiling without 139 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.679 actually meeting that target. He put it out, so you 140 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.000 can say it doesn't directly add to the debt. But 141 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.559 if you increase the ceiling five trillion dollars, you'll meet that. 142 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.120 And what it does, it puts it on the back 143 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.440 burner and then we won't discuss it for a year 144 00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.840 or two. His proposal, let's just to increase the dead 145 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.600 ceiling for maybe three months. That'll force us to come 146 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.159 back to reality. That'll force us to review all of 147 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:13.600 the cuts that can't be done in this particular form 148 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:17.639 the reconciliation, which must deal only with matters of spending. 149 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:23.879 You can't have a discretionary spending dealt with. And that's 150 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:26.480 what all the DOGE cuts relate to. And that's what 151 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.039 the nine point four billion a billion dollar piece of 152 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:37.240 legislation is headed for Capitol Hill to discuss cutting us AID, NPR, 153 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.960 and other organizations or entities which probably shouldn't be funded. 154 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:48.600 In the first instance. Trump called out ram Paul yesterday morning. 155 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.200 Rampaul has very little understanding of the BBB, the big 156 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.960 beautiful bill, especially the tremendous growth is coming. He loves 157 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.279 voting no on everything. He thinks it's good politics, but 158 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.519 it's not. The BBB is a big winner, followed up 159 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.440 by rand votes know on everything, but never has any 160 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:11.879 practical or constructive ideas. His ideas are actually crazy, parenthetical 161 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.960 losers exclamation point. And my friends in the Commonwealth, I'm 162 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.559 interested in gage your reaction, he said Trump did in 163 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.279 the conclusion of this ex post or truth post, the 164 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:30.240 people of Kentucky can't stand him. Is that true? My 165 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.159 listeners in the Commonwealth Kentucky, do you hate rand Paul? 166 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:42.039 Can you? You can't stand him? He's gotten reelected and 167 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.759 he's facing criticism for pointing out something that is an 168 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:55.080 actulut It's an absolute truth. Five trillion dollars is no 169 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:59.799 one but Senator Ran Paul worried about that rlordy north 170 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:03.279 of thirty six trillion dollars in debt. We have to 171 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.720 pay debt service on that. The more debt service we have, 172 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.240 the more interest on the money we borrow that we 173 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.960 have to pay. We have to honor that obligation. Of 174 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.240 the Fiat currency collapses, the globe will reject the US 175 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.159 dollar as a reliable source. That would be the end. 176 00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.519 I give credit for Brand Paul for standing up and 177 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:30.080 just pointing this out. And he said, listen, I'll vote 178 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.360 for everything else that's in it. I'm in favor of 179 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.480 literally everything else that's in it. It's just increasing the 180 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:42.320 debt ceiling. According to CBO, out of the terms of 181 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.200 the bill would add two trillion dollars of budget deficits 182 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:51.799 over the decade. Altogether, the tax cuts and reforms in 183 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.159 the package add nearly three point eight trillion to the 184 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.080 deficit over a decade. Those spending reductions in other parts 185 00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.799 of the bill offset some of that, which is how 186 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.759 you arrived at the two point three trillion dollar increase. 187 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:08.360 Elon Musk calling it an abomination, a break with the 188 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:08.960 White House. 189 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:09.960 Obviously. 190 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.840 Yesterday he wrote in his expost, I'm sorry, but I 191 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.240 just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork filled 192 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.879 congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those 193 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:25.600 who voted for it. You know you did wrong. You 194 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:32.159 know it. And some are saying, well, that's just because 195 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:36.080 it cuts out the green stuff. No Trump's or a rather, 196 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.840 Musk is on record saying he was in favor of 197 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:46.080 all of those cuts, the Green New Deal cuts under 198 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:53.440 the guise of the Inflation Reduction Act. So you know, 199 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.919 say what you want about my opinion. I'm on Ram 200 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.919 Paul's side of this. Why five t's million. Why not 201 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:08.720 something much smaller? Why not something that only lasts a 202 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.919 few months. I think Senator ram Paul suggested six hundred 203 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.399 billion dollars, which you give us maybe a few months, 204 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.919 and then we'd have to revisit the issue. I got 205 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:27.639 no problem with that, he said. I support the tax cuts. 206 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.639 I vote for them. At twenty seventeen, I support making 207 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.720 the tax cuts permanent. I support and voted for basically 208 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.159 allowing the tips on no tax on tips in fact 209 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.840 pass the Senate unanimously. I'm hoping they will do that 210 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:39.080 in the House and take it out of the big 211 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.519 beautiful bill and do it separately by unanimous consent. If 212 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.559 we do that, it actually makes the bill a little 213 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.679 easier in terms of accounting numbers. That is part of 214 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.360 the if that part's taken out. I'm for the tax cuts, 215 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.679 for making the tax cuts permanent. I'm for as many 216 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.000 spending cuts as we can get Republicans to vote for. 217 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:57.720 But even if that's not perfect, I'd still vote for 218 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.519 the tax cuts and the spending cuts. The thing I'm 219 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:03.000 adamantly opposed to is raising the debts only by five 220 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.360 trillion dollars. I propose an alternative instead of five trillion, 221 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:09.679 which is estimated to be two years worth of debt. 222 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.840 I've said, let's do it three months worth of debt 223 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.080 because I don't trust the Republican leadership to enact spending cuts. Amen, 224 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.440 Ran Paul, we give them three months worth, which is 225 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.519 about five hundred million dollars, which is hard to believe 226 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.720 that five hundred billion is only three months of borrowing. 227 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.679 He said, borrow for three months and then have the 228 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.600 debate again. I have the opposite opinion of what many 229 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.480 others have. People say, we don't want to vote on 230 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.240 the debt ceiling. It's embarrassing. Let's just do two years 231 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.440 and then we only have to vote once during the 232 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.120 entire Trump administration. He said, I'd vote on it every 233 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.240 day if I had the choice. Three months, three four, 234 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.399 five months. It's more reasonable. 235 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.600 YEP. It is. 236 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:56.120 Fin nineteen fifty five kc DE Talk stations.

Every Friday, we get 240 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.799 Tech Friday with Dave Hatter. I hope regular listeners well 241 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.000 know that and always tune into it or get the 242 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.399 podcast at five care see dot com and Dave sends 243 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:21.639 me emails throughout the week, and I think I'm on 244 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.960 a you know, a bulk list of Hatter's emails, just 245 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:29.720 continuing my rant about our debt and are overspending, and 246 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.840 and and and the existential threat that it actually is 247 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.039 a genuine one. We can speculate all day and worry 248 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:40.240 all day as our elected officials are now worrying following 249 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.200 the Ukraine surprise drone assault on Russia. Hey, maybe we 250 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:47.879 need to think about our own homeland in the concerns 251 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.240 face by well many outside threats that they could do 252 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.480 the same damn thing here, since we don't really have 253 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.799 any way of protecting our internal infrastructure in our military 254 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.919 bases from comparable threats like Ukraine and their drone strike. 255 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.000 But in so far as Dave Hatter and his emails 256 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:14.360 are concerned, it's oh Ron Paul father of rand. A 257 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:21.480 million seconds ago was May twenty third, A billion seconds 258 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:28.000 ago was nineteen ninety three. A trillion seconds ago was 259 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.559 thirty thousand BC. 260 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:35.240 In connection with the. 261 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:39.200 Comment, the US national debt is now rising by one 262 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:45.919 trillion dollars every one hundred and eighty days, one thousand 263 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:52.240 billion dollars. I don't know if you can get your 264 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.320 mind around what a stack of a billion dollars looks like. 265 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.759 But put a thousand of them next to each other 266 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.519 and you'll get a trillion dollars. Of course, a billion 267 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:10.559 dollars is one thousand million dollars. You don't think we 268 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.920 have a spending problem in this country?

I was going to qualify it in spite 325 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.880 of all of the news that I'm surrounded by, with 326 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.160 the articles I have to talk about, which are depressing 327 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:52.799 as hell. 328 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.720 I'm personally doing fine. 329 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.799 Tom One of the downsides of the job, the side 330 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.880 effects of all the information that's that's going in your brain. 331 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.519 Huh it is, you know, and I'm honest, I've said 332 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:09.839 it before. It is literally depressing. I can't put this 333 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.880 stuff aside and go on about my daily business without 334 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.599 this stuff being in the back of my head all 335 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.640 the time. Because this is what I do for a living. 336 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.200 And you know, I'm not complaining about my job. It's 337 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:21.319 just one of the one of the problem.

We're trillions of dollars in days. Yeah, 362 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.160 this is nuts. I mean, uh, you know, people could 363 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.880 just try to think about it on their own level, uh, 364 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.359 and then just multiply it by how many trillions of 365 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:47.680 dollars you cannot Just the fact that the government can 366 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.799 raise its own credit limit, ye is basically what they're 367 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.160 talking about the debt ceiling, right. Yeah, So if I 368 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.160 want my credit limit to go up, I've got to 369 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.880 ask somebody else, the person that I'm borrowing money from, 370 00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.759 to uh, you know to tell me, uh, you know what, 371 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.400 We're not ready to We're not ready to raise your 372 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:09.039 limit yet. We need you to prove to us that 373 00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:11.680 you know a little bit more, that you can be 374 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:16.000 responsible for this. Whatever five thousand dollars credit limits you got, 375 00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:17.480 we're not ready to go up to ten yet. 376 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:19.319 So you got a credit you got a credit card, 377 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.920 you got a credit card you're maxed out on let's 378 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.680 just say randomly, ten thousand dollars credit card. That's your limit, 379 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:28.200 and you've already gotten up to the ten grand so 380 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.480 you can't charge more on it, and you're only paying 381 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.559 the interest on the credit card every month. You're not 382 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.839 just just that you're not you're not getting the total 383 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.599 borrored amount is not coming down any And you go 384 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:42.440 to the credit card company and say, hey, can I 385 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.240 have thirty thousand dollars worth of credit now because I've 386 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:46.519 maxed out my credit card? 387 00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:47.720 That's exactly what's going on. 388 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.599 That's a yeah times how many trillions? Yeah, that is 389 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:55.240 that's insanity. The fact that we can do and the 390 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:59.799 elected officials do not have to go to anybody to 391 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:02.960 that's been permission for that. They just do it themselves. Yeah, 392 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:06.160 that's the insane part about this. So uh yeah, you 393 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:09.000 don't want people to be able to raise their own 394 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:11.680 credit limit. That's just all that does is just give 395 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.279 them permission to be irresponsible and reckless, which is exactly 396 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.400 what we've done. Now we're in this position of we 397 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:21.359 are so far in debt, most of us can't even 398 00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.559 imagine how this is all gonna get paid off. 399 00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:24.119 Now. 400 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.200 Flip side of that, whatever happens in order to start 401 00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.000 getting this thing going in the right direction is going 402 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:34.839 to hurt. It's gonna be painful. People are gonna have 403 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:37.160 to go without things that they've been given or they've 404 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.279 been whatever, and it's gonna hurt. It's just a matter 405 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.279 of who's gonna feel the pain first and then next. 406 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:46.799 And you know, especially if you're a Republican, are you 407 00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.759 willing to vote for something that's going to directly hurt 408 00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.960 your state, your constituents or whatever. That's the that's the 409 00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.079 hard part that's going on right now, and nobody wants 410 00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.519 to do that because they want to get re elected. 411 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.440 And you know, people like Ran Paul, I mean, I 412 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.440 appreciate somebody who's willing to say, you know what, this 413 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.599 is ridiculous we can't do this. I'm not voting for this. 414 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.319 This is insanity, and you know more of them need 415 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.319 to do that. But I get the hesitation, but because 416 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.920 you're going to vote against something that might benefit your state. 417 00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.799 So what, we've been benefiting our states enough. We need 418 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:26.200 to roll it back. We need to start making and 419 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.200 these are tough call These are tough decisions. That's a 420 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:31.240 job that's a lot harder and has a lot more 421 00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:34.039 responsibility than yours in mind, does I get it? 422 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:34.440 Tough? 423 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:35.279 One to be done. 424 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.200 It has to be done somewhere or another. We've got 425 00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.640 to start feeling the pain of bringing this back the 426 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:43.759 other way. And no matter what, whatever we do, don't 427 00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:44.680 vote Democrats. 428 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:47.359 Have a great day, Brian, Thanks Tom, appreciate the message 429 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:51.079 as always. But as Paul pointed out Senator Ran Paul, 430 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.720 the Republicans own the issue. If they increase the debt 431 00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:59.480 ceiling five trillion dollars, the Republicans are always supposed to 432 00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.240 be the party of this responsibility, and they can't make 433 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.240 that claim anymore. That's his point. Five point thirty six. 434 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.920 Stick around stack is stupid, and thank God for it 435 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:13.640 coming up next.

Welcome 578 00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:58.279 to the morning Show. 579 00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.599 Hey good morning, Brian, Hey, I just you know, the 580 00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:04.559 six hundred million dollars being given to the Cleveland Browns 581 00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.400 because the Republicans, and I'm going to put this at 582 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:11.880 the Republicancy, because they feel like that this time we're 583 00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:16.440 going to get a return on the investment. All all 584 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.160 I ask in return is just for them to codify 585 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.079 that if you have a business, or if you want 586 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.759 to start a business and you want six hundred million dollars, 587 00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.640 just put that down and we'll call it something fancied 588 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:29.039 like a white paper or put it. 589 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:30.240 Out in a policy document. 590 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:34.160 And what building should we start the line? And what 591 00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:37.960 time should we start applying today? And the line starts 592 00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:41.079 where at what door of what building in Columbus so 593 00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:44.079 that we can all show up and get our get 594 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:47.559 our document, our policy. What's the process for us too 595 00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:50.319 to receive a six hundred million dollar grant? Because if 596 00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:51.880 we just kind of pull on the thread of that 597 00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:55.000 twisted logic that they're going to give six hundred million 598 00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:58.119 dollars to a tax payer money to a private business 599 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.359 because they feel like that there's going to be return 600 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:03.960 on investment. Even though, as I've said before, Cleveland Browns 601 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:05.519 have been around for seventy years. 602 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:07.039 For seventy years they've. 603 00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:08.000 Been playing in Cleveland. 604 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.199 And I'll say it again, Cleveland. 605 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:10.519 Is still a dump. 606 00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:12.800 And the guy who called last time I said this 607 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:16.239 and said, what's different about Cincinnati. Look at the Milkan 608 00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:21.119 Institute that shows economic development. Cincinnati is like middle of 609 00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:24.840 the pack. Cleveland is in last place. That whole northeast 610 00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:28.440 region of Ohio is an economic dumpster fire. It has 611 00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:33.280 been for decades, for generations. So so if we're going 612 00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:35.719 to give free money away, if our elected representatives are 613 00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:38.320 just going to grant six hundred million dollars to a business, 614 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:41.519 isn't it the least that they can do is to 615 00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:44.679 put together a process and a policy and a procedure 616 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:46.079 to say here's. 617 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:46.920 How you go about it. 618 00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:50.880 Yeah, so that everybody, all Ohio wands, every American can 619 00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.239 sign up and get the same treatment. Jesus, we're going 620 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:54.360 to pick winners and losers. 621 00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:56.719 And Jay, let us not overlook the fact that any 622 00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:59.960 individual out there who starts a business the entrepreneurial time, 623 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.119 he who chooses the neighborhood, puts a building up and 624 00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:06.880 employs people, provides a return on investment to the community 625 00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:09.920 they're in. They generate tax dollars and revenue by their 626 00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:14.119 mere existence. So literally every business out there does that. 627 00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:16.519 And yet you got to be the Cleveland Browns in 628 00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:20.519 order to get six hundred million dollars from the Ohio taxpayers. 629 00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:24.360 Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it not 630 00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:25.679 at all? 631 00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:27.480 Uh See, you can get another stack of stupid in 632 00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:27.719 here we go. 633 00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.599 We go to Nebraska. Lincoln, Nebraska. Woman there will be 634 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:33.599 spending up to two decades in prison after being sentenced 635 00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:36.599 for her husband's death, forty two year old A man 636 00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:38.960 to right sentence them nineteen to twenty years behind bars 637 00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.960 after pleading no contest the manslaughter earlier this year in 638 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.000 the death of her husband, thirty eight year old Zachary Zvolva. 639 00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:50.320 There's an essence of v next to each other, hence 640 00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:54.719 the mangled name pronunciation. Prosecutors argue that she intentionally gave 641 00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.880 her husband a mix of fentanyl and methn fhetamine that 642 00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:59.079 killed him. 643 00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:01.480 What I Know. 644 00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:06.039 Also said made no effort to help him or call 645 00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:08.360 nine one one. Officials said she tried to cover up 646 00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:10.840 the circumstances around his death. Going to court records, she 647 00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:13.880 arranged for other people to discover her husband's body while 648 00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:17.760 she was away from their home. Autopsy can conduct it 649 00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:20.960 on his body revealed he died from acute intoxication by 650 00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:25.119 fentanyl methamphetamine. She was arrested and originally pleaded not guilty 651 00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:27.519 to first degree murder before pleading no contrast to a 652 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:32.639 reduced charge of manslaughter, which again editor two decades in prison, 653 00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:36.119 don't do that would. 654 00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:41.559 Him been any easier to get a divorce.

And for these individuals 759 00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:56.440 that will also get their pat on the back and 760 00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:01.199 shake your hands.

Mike, love 782 00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:05.159 your brother, Thank you man. Seen a few hours. Yeah again, 783 00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:08.840 mad tree Bury's Summit Park location.

Mike is one 786 00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:17.679 hell of a good guy, and his grandson is a 787 00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:20.039 hell of a great young man too. And since I 788 00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:21.440 didn't know what direction I was going to know, it's 789 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:23.159 going to do a mashup of a couple of columns 790 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:27.039 involving why the Democrats are losing minority voters and the 791 00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:30.599 political alignment or realignment that's going on in our country, 792 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.039 all in a positive direction. Let me pivot on the 793 00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:40.079 comments of Mike to Dan Driscoll, the Secretary of the Army, 794 00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:46.719 and his commentary, and so I'll just read it. Dan 795 00:43:46.800 --> 00:43:49.599 Driscoll rights, well, the fifteen years ago I signed up 796 00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:52.280 to serve my country, packed my bags and I left 797 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.440 home for Fort Jackson, South Carolina to begin Army basic training. 798 00:43:56.480 --> 00:44:01.440 The values I gained discipline duty on have shaped me 799 00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:04.719 into the husband, father, and citizen i am today. Choosing 800 00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.440 to serve was one of the most meaningful decisions of 801 00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:11.199 my life. That's why the news that the United States 802 00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:15.639 Army has met its fiscal twenty twenty five recruiting contract 803 00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:19.840 goals four months early. What a turnaround. Welcoming more than 804 00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:24.960 sixty one thousand new recruits is personal. It's also something 805 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:28.519 that all Americans should be proud of. Reaching this milestone 806 00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:31.119 wasn't easy. The Army has faced challenges in recruiting and 807 00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:34.079 retaining talent in recent years, but thanks to the tireless 808 00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:39.280 work of General Randy George, Lieutenant General Johnny Davis, recruiters, 809 00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:44.440 drill sergeants, and many others, we've turned the tide. These 810 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:47.440 men and women could have chosen any path in a 811 00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:51.400 country full of opportunity. Instead, they chose to serve their country. 812 00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:56.599 I can think of no nobler calling. It's especially fitting 813 00:44:56.599 --> 00:44:59.360 that these sixty one thousand recruits are joining as the 814 00:44:59.480 --> 00:45:01.719 Army sol It's his two hundred and fiftieth birthday. For 815 00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:03.960 two and a half centuries, American soldiers have answered the 816 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:07.239 call to support and defend the nation and the constitution. 817 00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:11.360 These new recruits will carry forward that legacy of honor, courage, 818 00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:15.880 and service. Their decision to join also reflects something deeper, 819 00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:20.760 a resurgence of pride in our country. Young Americans are 820 00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:24.440 more inspired by purpose and patriotism, ready to stand up 821 00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:27.760 for our values and protect our freedoms. They're stepping up 822 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:32.559 during a time of global uncertainty and complex threats. We 823 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:34.360 owe it to these young men and women to ensure 824 00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:37.159 they're equipped, train, and supported to meet the challenges ahead. 825 00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:40.559 With clear vision from President Trump and steadfast leadership from 826 00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:44.320 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth, the Army is again focused on 827 00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:50.880 what matters most, strength, readiness, and winning. I would have 828 00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:54.039 written killing people and breaking things, but he's obviously more 829 00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:58.159 delicate and eloquent with his words. Thanks to Congressional action, 830 00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:00.440 the quality of life for our soldiers has also improve. 831 00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:03.239 The twenty twenty five Service Member Quality of Life Improvement 832 00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:06.960 and National Defense Authorization Act delivered a history pay rays 833 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:12.119 for junior enlisted soldiers, housing improvements, healthcare access and childcare 834 00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:15.920 and spousal support from the White House in Congress to 835 00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:19.360 the Pentagon. Our soldiers are a priority. This is only 836 00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.719 the beginning. As more Americans learn about the Army's mission 837 00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.719 and legacy. I hope more will choose to serve. The 838 00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:29.079 Army shaped me into the man I am today, and 839 00:46:29.159 --> 00:46:34.360 I know it will shape them too. Dan Driscoll, Secretary 840 00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:40.360 of the Army, sounds like he's of kindred spirit. With 841 00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:42.840 Colonel William Dunn, who I spoke with yesterday about his 842 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.239 book Gunfighter's Rule Again, you can find that at fifty 843 00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:47.119 five care see dot com.

But one 948 00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:39.599 of the things they do make is basically an assault pen. 949 00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:42.440 It's a you know, solid piece of metal and it's 950 00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:44.880 got a point on it and you can carry it 951 00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:47.239 in your pocket if you had a pocket protector or whatever. 952 00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:49.159 And you can, of course use it for self defense. 953 00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:51.719 I don't even know if it operates as a ballpoint pen, 954 00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:54.920 but it's I certainly wouldn't want to get stabbed by one. 955 00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:55.960 That's funny though. 956 00:51:57.159 --> 00:52:00.519 Yes, Hey, you have a good day, and these days 957 00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:02.360 all make it the listener lunch, I hope. 958 00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:04.880 And I hope to see you there, Brian.

Sixty one thousand have 966 00:52:31.239 --> 00:52:34.639 signed up for service to our country, and I thought 967 00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:39.599 that was a wonderful, wonderful news, considering the recruiting numbers 968 00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:45.480 were just down, just way down head mental recruiting goals 969 00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:50.559 in the number of years. Does anyone think that the 970 00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:54.840 the change in American military and getting rid of the 971 00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:59.519 whole woke ideology, the DEI and pro transgender and all 972 00:52:59.599 --> 00:53:02.000 that kind of crap that with the Biden administration went 973 00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:06.679 in full forcewith defense Secretary of Pete Hegzeth reversing all 974 00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:09.840 of that focusing on killing people and breaking things, which 975 00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:12.039 is the important component of the American military. The other 976 00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:16.679 thing that truly matters preparing our armed forces for combat readiness, 977 00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:21.360 defense of the of our country threats both foreign and abroad. 978 00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:24.639 With the refocus of the American military on what is 979 00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:28.599 important and the reason for the American military, does anyone 980 00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:33.519 also like I believe that the change in policy has 981 00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:35.639 something to do with our recruiting goals being met four 982 00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.559 months ahead of time. I just have to say that 983 00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:41.320 out loud, because I truly believe that is the case. Now, 984 00:53:41.400 --> 00:53:43.880 maybe that the increase in pay had some impact on it, 985 00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:47.199 but you know, as a you know, a recruit, and 986 00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:50.760 you know, as someone who's serving the military, this isn't 987 00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:53.079 exactly the way to become a multi millionaire, if you 988 00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:57.239 know what I mean. It's a question of service to 989 00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:02.320 your country, defense of the constitution, protecting America interests is 990 00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:04.599 the primary motivating factor for your young people to do that. 991 00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:05.960 If you think you're going to go into a woke 992 00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:09.239 military and have to sit through classes talking about you know, 993 00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:14.199 pronoun usage and DEI realities that you're not going to 994 00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:17.599 be promoted based on merit. That to me is something 995 00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:20.679 that might cause someone decide, well, you know what, that's 996 00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:24.480 not an environment I want to work in. So that's 997 00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:26.280 my conclusion. I don't know if you shared it or not. 998 00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:27.840 You can feel free to chime in on the topic 999 00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:30.599 if you like to call otherwise local stories coming up. 1000 00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:33.760 But first, a word for folks with pain, ourthritis, pain, 1001 00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:36.760 hit pain, knee pain, joint pain.

Maybe it's prevented you from doing the 1004 00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:45.199 things you want to do, even taking a stroll in 1005 00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:46.960 the park. I imagine if you've got that kind of 1006 00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:49.760 pain might be a challenge for you. But of course 1007 00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:51.639 you're not going to be able to play pickle ball, 1008 00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:53.920 maybe you can't pick up the grandkids, whatever it happens 1009 00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:55.960 to be.

Obviously that's going to happen with 1083 00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:54.079 you can pass high school and get a diploma with 1084 00:58:54.159 --> 00:58:57.599 a twenty one or something like that, A D, A 1085 00:58:57.679 --> 00:58:59.880 D will be passing, right, isn't a D passing? 1086 00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:03.480 Can't you go get all d's and still get a diploma? 1087 00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:07.119 I think with a twenty one percent rating on it? 1088 00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:08.880 I mean it's comical. 1089 00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:09.679 Yeah. 1090 00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:13.159 The only problem is it's more useful idiots for the 1091 00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:17.480 Democrats to exploit with their illogical and unreasonable programs. And 1092 00:59:17.480 --> 00:59:20.760 they're uh, and they're they're constant lying about the realities 1093 00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:24.639 of life. So that's that's that's actually, I think that's 1094 00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:28.480 the point of it. Bobby. You dumb down the populace 1095 00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:31.400 by not educating them in schools, and then you create 1096 00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:37.079 a dependent, idiot class of people. So I know your 1097 00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:39.320 tongue was in your cheek saying it's a good thing, 1098 00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:43.119 But the practical reality is that there's California is not 1099 00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:45.800 the only place that's going in that direction. It's frightening, 1100 00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:49.480 which is why more and more people embracing the idea 1101 00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:53.400 of school choice over the log story five one three 1102 00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:55.960 seventy fifty eight two three talk you want to call in, 1103 00:59:56.039 --> 00:59:58.119 chime in, maybe I'd love to hear from you.

Here's the number to call five 1161 01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:56.599 one three, five four one thirty two ninety one five 1162 01:02:56.599 --> 01:02:58.440 one three, five four one thirty. 1163 01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:06.559 Two ninety one KRC dot com. It's six forty fifty 1164 01:03:06.599 --> 01:03:11.000 five KRC. The talk station good. 1165 01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:14.639 A little op ed mash up here. Writing along the 1166 01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:17.519 same lines in the Wall Street Journal, we start with 1167 01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:22.840 William Galston, the American political realignment is real subtitle Trump 1168 01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:25.639 has built a diverse working class coalition. Can he pass 1169 01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:29.679 it on to his successor? Question mark? So William Goalson 1170 01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:32.679 starts out pointing out that New York Times showing that 1171 01:03:33.159 --> 01:03:36.679 Republican parties increased its vote share in three consecutive presidential 1172 01:03:36.719 --> 01:03:40.119 elections in one, four and thirty three counties nearly half 1173 01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:45.719 the nation total. Democrats increase share only fifty seven counties 1174 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:46.639 over three elections. 1175 01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:47.760 How about that? 1176 01:03:49.400 --> 01:03:55.079 Where the points out Democratic demographic patterns indicate these geographical shifts. 1177 01:03:55.119 --> 01:03:58.480 The clearest divide on education level. In not a single 1178 01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:01.320 county which the Republican Party is increases shared the vote. 1179 01:04:01.559 --> 01:04:04.480 Did a majority of adults told to college degree? Ethnicity 1180 01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:07.840 also mattered sixty six of the sixty seven counties and 1181 01:04:07.880 --> 01:04:11.760 with a majority Hispanic population voted more Republican in twenty 1182 01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:17.440 twenty four than in twenty twelve. Income was important to 1183 01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:20.119 ninety five percent of the US counties, trending more Republican 1184 01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:24.679 had median incomes below the national medium. Republicans a party 1185 01:04:24.679 --> 01:04:26.920 of the working class, ultimately is really what we have 1186 01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:29.320 concluded here. They're the ones that are fighting for lower 1187 01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:35.320 taxes and fighting for more freedom, fighting for lower regulations. 1188 01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:39.039 The regulatory burden is just a weight on the American populace, 1189 01:04:40.199 --> 01:04:43.159 so you can feel the benefit from it. And of 1190 01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:47.719 course they're Republicans making inroads across all ethnicities, which is 1191 01:04:47.719 --> 01:04:49.800 where I pivot over to Jason Riley, who was pleased 1192 01:04:49.800 --> 01:04:52.239 to have on the program, talking about his most recent book, 1193 01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:56.199 Jason Rice Riley, a black man who wrote about how 1194 01:04:56.239 --> 01:04:59.320 the basically the welfare system has destroyed the black families. 1195 01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:08.480 He writes why Democrats are losing minority voters. Liberals seldom 1196 01:05:08.559 --> 01:05:11.599 turned to this column, Jason Riley's column for political advice. 1197 01:05:11.639 --> 01:05:13.519 They do, however, seem to trust the New York Times, 1198 01:05:13.559 --> 01:05:15.960 so maybe they caught the gray ladies. Recent analysis of 1199 01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:20.440 why the Democratic Party is in the demographic dumps. Leftists 1200 01:05:20.519 --> 01:05:24.519 like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Casio Court has denounced Republicans 1201 01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:28.320 as oligarchs, yet millions of blue collar voters flocking to 1202 01:05:28.400 --> 01:05:32.639 the GOP remain unpersuaded. Liberals are in denial about these trends. 1203 01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:36.199 But the reality, according to the Times, is that quote, 1204 01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:41.000 Republicans are overwhelmingly making gains and working class counties, while 1205 01:05:41.119 --> 01:05:45.840 Democrats are improving almost exclusively in wealthier areas. There's your 1206 01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:52.760 elite liberal leftist college people. My words interjected there, sorry, Jason. 1207 01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:57.920 The paper's county level distillation or trump air voting patterns 1208 01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:01.800 reveals how badly Democrats miscalculate that in allowing progressive elite 1209 01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:05.679 to determine the party's priorities, Donald Trump quote has increased 1210 01:06:05.679 --> 01:06:08.519 the Republican Party's share of the presidential vote in each 1211 01:06:08.639 --> 01:06:11.199 election He's been on the ballots in close to half 1212 01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:14.559 the counties in America. That's that four hundred and thirty 1213 01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:17.000 three figure I read a moment ago. The Times reported that, 1214 01:06:17.159 --> 01:06:20.480 worse for the Democrats indulging in class warfare, only three 1215 01:06:20.599 --> 01:06:23.320 of those counties had a median household income of more 1216 01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:27.679 than one hundred thousand dollars. Blacks and Latinos are overrepresented 1217 01:06:27.719 --> 01:06:30.880 among lower income voters and those without a college degree, 1218 01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:33.719 and Democrats are also losing ground with non whites. 1219 01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:35.280 Quote. 1220 01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:38.679 The erosion of working class support among black, white, and 1221 01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:42.639 Latino voters alike has unnerved every ideological wing of the 1222 01:06:42.679 --> 01:06:46.880 Democratic Party close quote The Times wrote, while most blacks 1223 01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:50.400 aremained loyal Democrats, again from the Times. In these in 1224 01:06:50.519 --> 01:06:54.119 his three presidential campaigns, mister Trump made serious inroads in 1225 01:06:54.239 --> 01:07:00.239 heavily black counties across the Deep South and beyond. Problem 1226 01:07:00.280 --> 01:07:02.320 for the Left has to do with its identity based 1227 01:07:02.360 --> 01:07:05.800 appeals to certain voting blocks. Minority voters are courted as 1228 01:07:05.920 --> 01:07:10.400 minorities rather than as Americans who have the same priorities, 1229 01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:16.079 good schools, safe neighborhoods, gainful employment as everybody else. Instead, 1230 01:07:16.159 --> 01:07:19.559 Democrats have pretended that Hispanics don't care about illegal immigration 1231 01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:22.480 or the blacks thing policing is a bigger problem than crime, 1232 01:07:22.920 --> 01:07:26.719 even though polls have consistently pointed in the opposite direction. 1233 01:07:27.639 --> 01:07:30.119 This is what happens when a small subset of progressive 1234 01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:32.840 sets the policy agenda for tens of millions of people. 1235 01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:38.320 Last month marked five years since George Floyd's death, a 1236 01:07:38.440 --> 01:07:43.280 half decade that overlaps with declining minorities of minority support 1237 01:07:43.360 --> 01:07:46.519 for the Democratic Party. The tragedy of Floyd's death was 1238 01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:52.000 politicized to attack law enforcement broadly. Activist organizations like Black 1239 01:07:52.079 --> 01:07:56.000 Lives Matter use it to raise money. Democratic collected officials 1240 01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:58.599 use it to secure black votes. Floyd became a left 1241 01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:03.320 wing martyr man who is targeted daily by villainous police officers. 1242 01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:07.920 The media ran with this preposterous narrative and street protests 1243 01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:12.679 and riots and sued nationwide. The political fallout hasn't been 1244 01:08:12.760 --> 01:08:17.199 what Democrats expected. Gallupole released last month shows black confidence 1245 01:08:17.239 --> 01:08:21.520 in law enforcement has increased since Floyd's death. Since twenty 1246 01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:24.479 twenty two. It's grown significantly faster than the average among 1247 01:08:24.720 --> 01:08:27.760 all groups. In twenty twenty four to sixty four percent 1248 01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:31.720 of black respondents expressed confidence in police, which is up 1249 01:08:31.800 --> 01:08:35.279 from fifty eight percent and twenty three, fifty five percent 1250 01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:37.760 in twenty twenty two and fifty nine percent in twenty 1251 01:08:37.840 --> 01:08:41.399 twenty one. Gallup also found that sixty four percent of 1252 01:08:41.439 --> 01:08:44.680 black adults are satisfied with the relationship between police and 1253 01:08:44.720 --> 01:08:47.640 their local community, which has edged up three points since 1254 01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:50.319 twenty twenty three, and five points since the low point 1255 01:08:50.359 --> 01:08:55.720 in twenty twenty two. The irony is that Black support 1256 01:08:55.800 --> 01:08:59.840 for law enforcement, even after Floyd's death, remained above fifty percent, 1257 01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:05.680 notwithstanding efforts by liberal activists, academics, and cable news commentators 1258 01:09:06.119 --> 01:09:09.279 to shrink police budgets and curry favor with black voters. 1259 01:09:09.920 --> 01:09:12.399 This comes as no surprise to anyone who listens to 1260 01:09:12.479 --> 01:09:15.239 the residents of high crime neighborhoods, and not to the 1261 01:09:15.399 --> 01:09:20.640 intelligentsia who claim to speak for the black underclass. A 1262 01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:23.600 twenty twenty one ballot initiative in Minneapolis that would have 1263 01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:27.880 replaced the police department with a quote public health oriented 1264 01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:32.359 close quote Department of Public Safety was voted down, and 1265 01:09:32.479 --> 01:09:35.640 some of the strongest opposition came from low income black neighborhoods. 1266 01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:38.399 Crime control isn't the only matter in which the average 1267 01:09:38.439 --> 01:09:41.239 black voter in left wing elites. Divert survey show the 1268 01:09:41.319 --> 01:09:44.760 most Black supports school choice, amen, voter id laws, and 1269 01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:49.199 colorblind college admission, all of which the Biden administration opposed, 1270 01:09:49.520 --> 01:09:54.800 and the Trump administration supports democratic outreach based on black 1271 01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:58.760 victimhood anger and paranoia. Isn't working like it used to. 1272 01:09:58.960 --> 01:10:01.520 So long as the party fuses to change its methods, 1273 01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:07.119 Republicans stand to benefit. If black voting habits are increasingly 1274 01:10:07.279 --> 01:10:11.439 driven by issues rather than by blind partisan loyalty. It 1275 01:10:11.600 --> 01:10:16.399 is a welcome trend. George Floyd wasn't representative of black 1276 01:10:16.439 --> 01:10:19.960 people any more than Derek Chauvin is representative of police officers, 1277 01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:23.840 but the fallout does fairly represent how the lefts racial 1278 01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:27.880 politics have backfired. It also helps explain why, as The 1279 01:10:28.039 --> 01:10:33.680 Times concluded, the Democratic Party is quote hemorrhaging vital support 1280 01:10:35.079 --> 01:10:39.119 from what we're once among its most rock solid constituencies. 1281 01:10:39.399 --> 01:10:47.399 Close quote Amen sixty eight fifty five krs the talk 1282 01:10:47.479 --> 01:10:49.439 station looking forward to Jack Addan at the top of 1283 01:10:49.439 --> 01:10:50.840 the air name.

But got crimes down, Joe. 1328 01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:26.159 That that's what they keep telling us, crimes down and 1329 01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:32.560 in completely unrelated news. And you know, the Chinese Communist 1330 01:13:32.600 --> 01:13:35.399 Party is the nefarious actors behind the fentanyl crisis we're 1331 01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:37.840 having in our country, a fentanyl crisis which has precipitably 1332 01:13:37.960 --> 01:13:41.600 declined since Trump took office because he secured the border. 1333 01:13:41.960 --> 01:13:46.199 I think the seizures of fentanyl dropped like fifty percent. 1334 01:13:47.439 --> 01:13:49.439 Anyway. Authority support Long Beach Floor. 1335 01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:56.119 Long Beach seized fifty five tons of a thing called 1336 01:13:56.239 --> 01:14:00.640 dikumal peroxide, which is used to make methamphetamine, originating in 1337 01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:04.439 China destined for the Cineloa drug cartel in Mexico. According 1338 01:14:04.439 --> 01:14:07.159 to news release from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement 1339 01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:13.000 Diachma peroxide identified as as a result of initiative launched 1340 01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:18.560 by ICE to identify suspicious shipments of the chemical precursors 1341 01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:22.479 for fentanyl coming from China, Indian other source source countries 1342 01:14:23.920 --> 01:14:26.600 heading for Mexico for the drug cartels. Since the initiative 1343 01:14:26.600 --> 01:14:28.479 was launched in twenty nineteen, it's led to the interdiction 1344 01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:33.319 of almost nineteen hundred tons of chemicals used to manufacture 1345 01:14:33.319 --> 01:14:38.039 of methad fhetamines, and fentanyl. In March, they seized forty 1346 01:14:38.239 --> 01:14:44.039 four tons of glacial acetic acid in Port Houston, which 1347 01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:47.880 is also destined for the Cinealoa cartel. According to ICE, 1348 01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:52.560 in a statement, I said this initiative provides homeland security 1349 01:14:52.600 --> 01:14:55.319 investigations with a game changing method to stay one step 1350 01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:57.760 ahead of the cartels by disrupting the flow of chemicals 1351 01:14:57.800 --> 01:15:02.880 that they depend on to produce illicit narcotics. And you know, 1352 01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:05.000 I always got to point out that's what they seized 1353 01:15:07.640 --> 01:15:10.520 considering the quantity of federyl and methane fetamine flowing into 1354 01:15:10.520 --> 01:15:13.359 our country. Although it has been reduced, it certainly hasn't 1355 01:15:13.359 --> 01:15:17.199 been shut off completely. There's your Chinese Communist Party at work. 1356 01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:19.960 Just one of the weapons of a war that they 1357 01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:23.880 are using against us on a daily basis.

Exactly? 1385 01:16:41.199 --> 01:16:43.720 Think you get in enough trouble lying about Trump and 1386 01:16:43.880 --> 01:16:44.760 Russian hookers? 1387 01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:47.239 Exactly. 1388 01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:54.199 Speaking about liars, last week we talked about Jake tappers 1389 01:16:54.319 --> 01:16:59.479 very lucrative confession that well, okay, yes, he and everyone 1390 01:16:59.560 --> 01:17:03.319 and de crap media knew that President Biden was an 1391 01:17:03.399 --> 01:17:07.520 auto pen nothing more. Please, folks, don't take Tapper's book 1392 01:17:07.600 --> 01:17:11.119 to the beach. But even if you avoid politics and 1393 01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:14.800 stick to more obvious fiction, you may still get mugged 1394 01:17:14.840 --> 01:17:20.399 by liberal propaganda. Take Michael Conley, who writes about Harry 1395 01:17:20.479 --> 01:17:23.159 Bush and the Lincoln Lawyer. Have you read any of 1396 01:17:23.199 --> 01:17:24.880 those books, Brian, or seen the movies? 1397 01:17:25.560 --> 01:17:25.680 Uh? 1398 01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:27.000 No, I don't think I have. 1399 01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:31.159 Well, they're good. My wife has read all of the 1400 01:17:31.199 --> 01:17:34.279 Bosh novels and now we're listening to the audiobooks together 1401 01:17:34.439 --> 01:17:37.760 in the car. But I was surprised to find that 1402 01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:40.760 Michael Conley, who targets crushed. 1403 01:17:40.600 --> 01:17:45.520 The detective Bosh. Yeah, I did watch that whole series. 1404 01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:48.479 It didn't register when you said it, because that kind 1405 01:17:48.520 --> 01:17:50.359 of came out of nowhere given the subject matter of 1406 01:17:50.399 --> 01:17:53.960 our conversation. I just watched the series and I never 1407 01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:57.079 attributed to Conley or books. I just thought it was 1408 01:17:57.159 --> 01:17:59.680 an interesting and well done series. My mom may had 1409 01:17:59.680 --> 01:18:01.520 wrecked mended it to me. That's why I ended up 1410 01:18:01.560 --> 01:18:04.000 watching it. But yeah, I'm familiar with that it is. 1411 01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:08.000 And the Lincoln Lawyer has been done by Matthew McConaughey 1412 01:18:08.079 --> 01:18:09.920 in a movie and then they had a TV series 1413 01:18:09.960 --> 01:18:14.640 about that too. They're excellent on many levels. But Michael 1414 01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:19.600 Conley targets corruption in the old Jim call mey FBI 1415 01:18:19.840 --> 01:18:22.239 writes about that a lot. So I was surprised to 1416 01:18:22.319 --> 01:18:27.600 find Brian a political attack on conservatives in our latest 1417 01:18:27.640 --> 01:18:31.600 audio book this one is called Resurrection Walk. Harry Bosh, 1418 01:18:31.640 --> 01:18:35.760 a retired police detective, teams up with Mickey Holler, who's 1419 01:18:35.800 --> 01:18:37.840 called the Lincoln Lawyer because he works out of his 1420 01:18:37.960 --> 01:18:41.920 town car. At one point, these half brothers are mourning 1421 01:18:42.039 --> 01:18:45.600 the death of an old lawyer who was Jewish. They 1422 01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:49.199 note that the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood where he lived 1423 01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:54.840 used to be restricted, meaning covenants in deeds included a 1424 01:18:54.920 --> 01:18:59.800 restriction on selling homes to Jews or Blacks or other minorities. 1425 01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:04.680 The Supreme Court struck down those restrictions after World War II, 1426 01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:08.319 but in their conversation in this book, Bosh and the 1427 01:19:08.359 --> 01:19:12.199 Lincoln lawyers say, the new Supreme Court seems to be 1428 01:19:12.319 --> 01:19:14.159 going the other way. 1429 01:19:15.359 --> 01:19:15.520 Now. 1430 01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:18.680 When we heard that, Amesley and I paused the audio 1431 01:19:18.800 --> 01:19:23.680 book and wondered what the heck Michael Conley might have meant. 1432 01:19:24.479 --> 01:19:28.319 Resurrection Walk came out in twenty twenty three. That same year, 1433 01:19:28.840 --> 01:19:31.800 the new conservative majority on the Supreme Court that included 1434 01:19:31.880 --> 01:19:36.800 three nominees from Donald Trump's first term. That majority struck 1435 01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:43.119 down DEI affirmative action admissions at Harvard and the University 1436 01:19:43.159 --> 01:19:47.399 of North Carolina. If that's the ruling, Conley was attacking. 1437 01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:51.920 His attack misled a lot of readers because Michael Conley's 1438 01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:55.800 books have sold over eighty million copies worldwide, and his 1439 01:19:55.920 --> 01:20:00.039 two heroes, Harry Bosh and the Lincoln Lawyer, are a 1440 01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:03.199 saying the so called Trump Court is turning back the 1441 01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:07.119 clock on civil rights. Is that true? Well, let's take 1442 01:20:07.159 --> 01:20:11.520 a look. In the nineteen forties, when the Supreme Court 1443 01:20:11.680 --> 01:20:16.520 overturned restrictive real estate covenants, it was ruling that bigots 1444 01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:20.439 could not ask the courts to enforce discrimination based on 1445 01:20:20.600 --> 01:20:25.840 skin color, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. However, refusing to enforce 1446 01:20:25.920 --> 01:20:31.079 discrimination is very different from requiring that college admissions must 1447 01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:35.560 be based on merit, not race or sex. In that 1448 01:20:35.720 --> 01:20:40.520 Harvard case two years ago, all three liberal justices Kagan, Sodomayor, 1449 01:20:40.840 --> 01:20:45.239 and Brown Jackson of course supported Harvard, but the conservative 1450 01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:48.800 majority based its ruling on the equal protection clause of 1451 01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:54.039 the Constitution. They recognized that college admissions are zero's sum. 1452 01:20:54.520 --> 01:20:57.039 If you admit one student on the basis of race 1453 01:20:57.239 --> 01:21:02.119 or sex, you exclude another student who may otherwise objectively 1454 01:21:02.359 --> 01:21:06.319 be more qualified. Harvard and UNC were in effect asking 1455 01:21:06.399 --> 01:21:11.119 the Supreme Court to enforce discrimination. The liberals, of course, 1456 01:21:11.159 --> 01:21:13.600 don't see it that way, because they believe in the 1457 01:21:13.680 --> 01:21:18.199 greater good of promoting not equality under the law, folks, 1458 01:21:18.359 --> 01:21:23.079 but racial or gender equity, meaning there must be equality 1459 01:21:23.199 --> 01:21:27.479 of racial and gender outcomes. There must be quotas regardless 1460 01:21:27.600 --> 01:21:30.520 of merit. Of course, there's another way to increase the 1461 01:21:30.640 --> 01:21:33.960 chance that your child will be admitted to so called 1462 01:21:34.159 --> 01:21:39.640 elite universities. Demand that schools and unionized teachers do a 1463 01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:44.760 better job teaching our children, but much more important, help 1464 01:21:44.840 --> 01:21:49.079 your own children study and do their homework. Demand that 1465 01:21:49.199 --> 01:21:53.119 they become better students. Thankfully, in twenty twenty five, we're 1466 01:21:53.159 --> 01:21:55.600 all learning that the best thing you could ever do 1467 01:21:55.720 --> 01:21:58.920 for your children is not send them to Harvard. And 1468 01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:01.079 since I admire them so much, I can only hope 1469 01:22:01.119 --> 01:22:05.159 that somebody is influential in pop culture, as Michael Conley 1470 01:22:05.680 --> 01:22:10.600 comes to agree with that, even if he despises Donald Trump. Meantime, 1471 01:22:10.680 --> 01:22:12.800 this summer, if you're soaking up sun on the beach, 1472 01:22:13.279 --> 01:22:16.319 you know, Coney Island, Michigan, wherever you're able to go, 1473 01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:20.840 watching James Comey arranging death threats with seashells, keep in 1474 01:22:20.960 --> 01:22:24.039 mind that the fiction you are reading may slip in 1475 01:22:24.600 --> 01:22:27.439 some truly fictitious liberal propaganda. 1476 01:22:28.199 --> 01:22:30.279 What do your sayd Cousel, I agree with you completely. 1477 01:22:31.159 --> 01:22:37.239 It isn't crazy that the equity component, this idea that 1478 01:22:37.520 --> 01:22:40.880 you are going to admit someone purely based upon the 1479 01:22:40.960 --> 01:22:48.640 color of their skin, even though they haven't the educational foundation, 1480 01:22:49.039 --> 01:22:53.640 the quality of excellence, that the universities expect the merit 1481 01:22:54.680 --> 01:22:58.520 to compete against other students ignoring the color of their skin. 1482 01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:02.520 That that is a product of what they claim to 1483 01:23:02.600 --> 01:23:06.279 be a systemically racist society. That's the reason you want 1484 01:23:06.319 --> 01:23:09.680 to let someone in who otherwise wouldn't qualify to enter 1485 01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:12.439 the higher education because they can't. 1486 01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:14.960 You know, they're not on. 1487 01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:19.279 Par with some other student who has the higher standards, 1488 01:23:19.760 --> 01:23:23.960 who tested higher, who has met the merit component. And 1489 01:23:24.079 --> 01:23:27.359 yet if you look where the education came from, public 1490 01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:29.800 education most notably is where I'm thinking, and on the 1491 01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:32.439 heels of this revelation from California that they're going to 1492 01:23:32.520 --> 01:23:36.199 let students who get a twenty after taking a test 1493 01:23:36.359 --> 01:23:39.640 multiple times as many times it takes to pass that 1494 01:23:39.760 --> 01:23:43.000 they somehow are capable or are deserving of a high 1495 01:23:43.000 --> 01:23:45.760 school diploma, that you're going to allow one of those 1496 01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:49.199 folks to get in when the system itself has failed them. 1497 01:23:49.279 --> 01:23:51.960 The educational system that's supposed to provide them with the 1498 01:23:52.039 --> 01:23:56.880 foundational building blocks to have the merit to compete against 1499 01:23:56.960 --> 01:23:59.880 other students to get into the education system that they've 1500 01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:02.319 grade to the quality of the education such that you 1501 01:24:02.359 --> 01:24:05.600 can leave the school without those foundational building walks. In 1502 01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:08.119 other words, you don't qualify to get into college because 1503 01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:12.359 you can't appreciate and understand the college level material. So 1504 01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:14.640 it's it's a top to bottom thing. And then they 1505 01:24:14.680 --> 01:24:16.319 want to blame the system. Well, if you want to 1506 01:24:16.319 --> 01:24:19.119 blame the system, then blame the failure of the education 1507 01:24:19.319 --> 01:24:23.000 system below college for allowing people to move forward in 1508 01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:25.560 life when they don't have the skills necessary to get 1509 01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:28.560 into the next grade. I mean, it's just the whole 1510 01:24:28.640 --> 01:24:30.279 thing is structurally unsound. 1511 01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:30.680 Jack. 1512 01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:35.640 In fairness, it was San Francisco, not the entire state 1513 01:24:35.720 --> 01:24:40.560 of California that trying to impose that twenty one percent threshold, yeah, 1514 01:24:40.600 --> 01:24:43.760 for a deed passing, and it was overturned in San Francisco, 1515 01:24:44.279 --> 01:24:47.680 but only because there was an outcry from conservative media. 1516 01:24:48.439 --> 01:24:50.119 Otherwise it would be there. And they're going to put 1517 01:24:50.159 --> 01:24:52.399 something like that back under another nick. That's what they 1518 01:24:52.439 --> 01:24:52.960 always do. 1519 01:24:53.399 --> 01:24:55.960 But I mean, we all know about great inflation, we 1520 01:24:56.039 --> 01:25:00.960 all know about you know, at Harvard, at Harvard, Yeah yeah, 1521 01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:03.600 and I know an entire. 1522 01:25:03.439 --> 01:25:11.239 Movement affirmative action DEI. When it concerns blacks, it's about reparations. 1523 01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:14.800 And the question becomes, and I don't think that it's 1524 01:25:14.920 --> 01:25:18.159 a whole racist or unfair. You know, at what point 1525 01:25:18.239 --> 01:25:20.720 do you stop talking about reparations and at what point 1526 01:25:20.760 --> 01:25:23.520 do you talk about pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps? 1527 01:25:23.880 --> 01:25:26.479 In a way, this country that we both love so much, 1528 01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:30.880 everybody in your audience does, has always been quote unquote racist, 1529 01:25:31.239 --> 01:25:34.520 not just on the slavery issue, all of the waves 1530 01:25:34.600 --> 01:25:40.479 of immigrants who came to our country, the Irish, Germans, Jews, 1531 01:25:41.319 --> 01:25:44.880 Eastern Europeans, people coming from Asia now, they have always 1532 01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:48.880 faced discrimination of one sort or another, either institutionalized or 1533 01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:50.920 just the kind that you met on the streets. And 1534 01:25:51.039 --> 01:25:53.960 the answer, of course, was to work hard to assimilate. 1535 01:25:54.279 --> 01:25:56.039 It was a wonderful movie that came out a few 1536 01:25:56.119 --> 01:25:58.840 years ago. It's called Brooklyn, and it was about a 1537 01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:03.000 young girl who came to America from Ireland. There was 1538 01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:06.239 an arrangement made through the church to find her a 1539 01:26:06.399 --> 01:26:09.079 job so that something was waiting for her here. She 1540 01:26:09.119 --> 01:26:11.920 would not have been admitted to America without having a 1541 01:26:12.039 --> 01:26:15.640 job waiting. But she went to night school and learned 1542 01:26:15.680 --> 01:26:18.279 to be an accountant. And we understood by the end 1543 01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:21.239 of the movie that she and her Italian husband, that 1544 01:26:21.319 --> 01:26:25.399 she met Italian American who also faced a level of discrimination. 1545 01:26:25.760 --> 01:26:29.319 We're both going to be very successful. Not hyphenated Americans, 1546 01:26:29.600 --> 01:26:33.039 but Americans. And at one point you've got to ask yourself, 1547 01:26:33.159 --> 01:26:37.479 especially if you're a liberal, when am I going to 1548 01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:38.520 expect people. 1549 01:26:38.640 --> 01:26:39.479 To be grown ups? 1550 01:26:40.319 --> 01:26:44.720 Yeah, that's why I've been advocating for this Medicaid reform, 1551 01:26:44.760 --> 01:26:47.600 where you know, if you're able bodied and capable of work, 1552 01:26:48.199 --> 01:26:50.960 and you're not lifting a finger to try to move 1553 01:26:51.079 --> 01:26:54.520 yourself forward and free yourself from the bbilical court of government, 1554 01:26:54.560 --> 01:26:58.000 I find the whole concept preposterous. Here we are offering 1555 01:26:58.000 --> 01:27:00.439 an opportunity. You can continue your Medicaid and get your 1556 01:27:00.479 --> 01:27:05.000 medical coverage. Just work twenty hours a week, or just 1557 01:27:05.359 --> 01:27:07.640 go to a trade school for twenty hours a week. 1558 01:27:07.840 --> 01:27:08.439 Do something. 1559 01:27:08.560 --> 01:27:11.520 Even community service will qualify you to continue your health care. 1560 01:27:11.960 --> 01:27:15.680 It's just a question of actually getting involved and participating 1561 01:27:16.039 --> 01:27:17.520 and hopefully better in your life? 1562 01:27:18.239 --> 01:27:21.479 Mean what the liberals really want, Brian, as you know, 1563 01:27:22.720 --> 01:27:24.800 they want a headline. They want to be able to 1564 01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:27.560 go out and say Trump and the Republicans want to 1565 01:27:27.600 --> 01:27:31.840 cut Medicaid, and it ends there and once it's proven 1566 01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:34.399 that what Trump and the Republicans really are trying to 1567 01:27:34.479 --> 01:27:38.319 do is to end waste, fraud and abuse, keep people 1568 01:27:38.439 --> 01:27:42.319 who young, people, able bodied, people who just don't want 1569 01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:45.279 to work, keep them from getting Medicaid, and other people 1570 01:27:45.319 --> 01:27:48.680 who are committing to Medicaid fraud. You know, then you 1571 01:27:48.840 --> 01:27:51.079 never hear anything about it. The liberals move on to 1572 01:27:51.159 --> 01:27:53.840 some other headline. I don't even say issue, because they 1573 01:27:53.880 --> 01:27:56.239 have no issues. They only have headlines. 1574 01:27:57.199 --> 01:28:00.319 Indeed, well, and I think the original predict for the 1575 01:28:00.399 --> 01:28:03.880 Medicaid was to help those with with significant disabilities and 1576 01:28:04.039 --> 01:28:08.720 the poor elderly from going without. The purpose was not 1577 01:28:08.960 --> 01:28:13.720 for a permanent, free medical system. And for those who 1578 01:28:13.880 --> 01:28:16.680 are who get into the Medicaid program, it's a temporary 1579 01:28:16.840 --> 01:28:20.840 lifeline until you get off of it. So the Republican 1580 01:28:20.880 --> 01:28:25.439 measures are consistent with the idea of helping people help themselves. Yes, 1581 01:28:25.640 --> 01:28:28.399 we will help you out, but you must start to 1582 01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:33.960 move toward freedom. And that is education. Freedom comes from education, 1583 01:28:34.640 --> 01:28:37.079 its from everybody remembers. 1584 01:28:37.199 --> 01:28:41.359 During the Obama administration, and remember, Barack Obama wanted to 1585 01:28:41.439 --> 01:28:45.760 have nationalized healthcare. Obamacare was just a step toward that, 1586 01:28:46.359 --> 01:28:48.920 and he was always looking for a way to turn 1587 01:28:49.079 --> 01:28:52.039 more and more of one sixth of our economy, the 1588 01:28:52.159 --> 01:28:56.800 healthcare industry, over to the government. But during the Obama administration, 1589 01:28:57.439 --> 01:29:01.359 they raised the threshold for Medicaid. You were able to 1590 01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:05.760 essentially have a middle class income and still qualify for Medicaid. 1591 01:29:05.880 --> 01:29:08.359 And who went along with that? Right here in Ohio 1592 01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:11.399 A man I liked a lot. We weren't friends, but 1593 01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:15.399 we were very nicely acquainted. Our governor John Kasik, who 1594 01:29:15.479 --> 01:29:18.439 went on to become I don't know what happened at 1595 01:29:18.520 --> 01:29:22.239 John Kaysick, but he became so sanctimonious and so yeah, 1596 01:29:22.319 --> 01:29:24.800 you know, once he won a couple of primaries that 1597 01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:27.720 you know, now he was, you know, not answering to 1598 01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:32.760 the voters anymore. He was answering to Saint Peter and well, 1599 01:29:33.199 --> 01:29:35.479 a lot of damage and we're dealing with that now. 1600 01:29:35.800 --> 01:29:37.960 We have people on the Medicaid roles who have no 1601 01:29:38.079 --> 01:29:41.159 business being there given, as you say, the original intention. 1602 01:29:42.399 --> 01:29:44.479 Yeah, you broke it down great, Jack out of it, 1603 01:29:44.640 --> 01:29:47.239 as you always do. I was intrigued by the subject 1604 01:29:47.319 --> 01:29:49.119 matter topic, not knowing where you were going to go 1605 01:29:49.279 --> 01:29:51.000 with beware of what you read on the beach. 1606 01:29:51.399 --> 01:29:52.399 It's always you. 1607 01:29:52.439 --> 01:29:54.800 Know the way the government follows you.

Great to 1642 01:31:41.560 --> 01:31:44.960 have you on the program again. Bryan, always a pleasure 1643 01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:46.880 to be with you. All Right, I'm having a difficult time. 1644 01:31:46.920 --> 01:31:48.119 I know you want to talk about the two point 1645 01:31:48.159 --> 01:31:50.439 seventy five percent flat tax. I'm all in favor of that, 1646 01:31:50.600 --> 01:31:53.640 I get it. But yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just frankly 1647 01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:56.600 I've said used the words pissed off about six hundred 1648 01:31:56.640 --> 01:31:59.359 million dollars going to the Cleveland brown Stadium brook Park. 1649 01:32:00.199 --> 01:32:00.439 Bah. 1650 01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:03.239 Did you know Donovan and Neil for Americans for Prosperity? 1651 01:32:03.279 --> 01:32:06.439 The High Department of Commerce has said it's sitting on 1652 01:32:06.680 --> 01:32:10.359 four point eight billion dollars in unclaimed funds. They got 1653 01:32:10.399 --> 01:32:12.439 a pile of money. They're four point eight billion worth 1654 01:32:12.479 --> 01:32:15.239 of the things like forgotten bank accounts, rent utility deposits, 1655 01:32:15.239 --> 01:32:19.359 and uncashed insurance policies. And apparently when the Browns ask 1656 01:32:19.439 --> 01:32:21.359 for money, they can tap into that and pull out 1657 01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:23.439 six hundred million dollars and hand it over to them. 1658 01:32:25.600 --> 01:32:27.800 Well, I think it's an interesting way, and it's a 1659 01:32:27.880 --> 01:32:30.600 long way from where we started in this conversation, right 1660 01:32:30.640 --> 01:32:33.119 which the original proposal was raising taxes. 1661 01:32:33.439 --> 01:32:34.920 I oh, I don't. 1662 01:32:35.239 --> 01:32:38.319 I'm certainly glad we're not raising taxes to do to 1663 01:32:38.439 --> 01:32:39.560 do these kinds of things. 1664 01:32:41.119 --> 01:32:43.000 It's at a creative way. The unclaimed funds was a 1665 01:32:43.039 --> 01:32:44.159 creative way to accomplish that. 1666 01:32:44.239 --> 01:32:47.319 Though, well, it's better than borrowing the money and paying 1667 01:32:47.399 --> 01:32:52.399 interest over twenty five years by issuing bonds. But fundamentally, 1668 01:32:52.840 --> 01:32:56.279 we're giving money to a private sports organization owned by 1669 01:32:56.399 --> 01:32:59.399 private individuals for the benefit of folks who can afford 1670 01:32:59.439 --> 01:33:01.800 to go into a stadium and pay twelve to fifteen 1671 01:33:01.880 --> 01:33:05.560 dollars for a beer. I'm sorry, these things never work out, 1672 01:33:05.600 --> 01:33:08.279 and they say, well, the revenue generated from the taxes 1673 01:33:08.359 --> 01:33:12.039 on the purchases at the brook Park is more than 1674 01:33:12.119 --> 01:33:14.680 adequately going to repay the six hundred million dollars we're 1675 01:33:14.680 --> 01:33:15.119 giving them. 1676 01:33:15.199 --> 01:33:17.880 I'll blow it at here, you know what. I'm sorry. 1677 01:33:17.920 --> 01:33:19.520 I didn't mean to catch you off guard, Donovan, but 1678 01:33:19.960 --> 01:33:22.880 this kind of thing rubs me obviously the wrong way. 1679 01:33:23.119 --> 01:33:25.359 So we can get back on focus and talk about 1680 01:33:25.399 --> 01:33:26.479 the flat income tax. 1681 01:33:28.720 --> 01:33:30.840 Well, and I think that's the important thing, right These 1682 01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:33.520 big budget bills, whether it's one big beautiful bill in 1683 01:33:34.079 --> 01:33:37.840 DC or you know, the two hundred billion dollar all 1684 01:33:37.920 --> 01:33:40.520 spend budget here in Ohio, which, by the way, I've 1685 01:33:40.560 --> 01:33:43.399 got some there's some silver linings there too, you know, 1686 01:33:43.800 --> 01:33:46.239 there's a reason they say it's the look you're watching 1687 01:33:46.279 --> 01:33:48.159 the sausage you get made, because none of these things 1688 01:33:48.199 --> 01:33:51.359 are beautiful or perfect. But I think there's some there's 1689 01:33:51.399 --> 01:33:55.720 some bright spots in this budget that send a signal 1690 01:33:55.840 --> 01:33:58.960 that there is a culture shift happening in Columbus, and 1691 01:33:59.520 --> 01:34:01.760 I think we need to keep our eyes focused on that. 1692 01:34:01.920 --> 01:34:03.640 And that's certainly what we're doing at AFP is saying 1693 01:34:03.720 --> 01:34:06.560 focused on the things that we identified as top priorities 1694 01:34:06.960 --> 01:34:08.159 that this budget delivers on. 1695 01:34:08.680 --> 01:34:10.880 Well, we had a tiered in Well, we do have 1696 01:34:10.960 --> 01:34:13.640 a tiered income tax system here in the state of Ohio. Correct, 1697 01:34:13.680 --> 01:34:16.880 And this, this Senate proposal is in line, isn't it 1698 01:34:16.960 --> 01:34:18.800 with the House proposal to get it down to a 1699 01:34:18.840 --> 01:34:20.279 flat two point seventy five percent? 1700 01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:23.880 Well, no, knock on our friends in the House, but 1701 01:34:23.960 --> 01:34:25.159 they actually failed to do that. 1702 01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:26.920 Oh old ones. 1703 01:34:27.239 --> 01:34:29.039 I misremembered of the ones. 1704 01:34:29.960 --> 01:34:32.279 No, that's all right, yeah, the Senate actually, so we 1705 01:34:32.479 --> 01:34:36.079 launched in fact little self promotion here AFP Ohio. We 1706 01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:40.079 launched it with Leebray Ohio, a campaign back on May twentieth, 1707 01:34:40.119 --> 01:34:42.680 a couple of weeks ago, calling on the Senate to 1708 01:34:42.800 --> 01:34:43.840 put its flat. 1709 01:34:43.680 --> 01:34:44.479 Tax in the budget. 1710 01:34:44.800 --> 01:34:47.960 We're proud to say they did and buy over the 1711 01:34:48.039 --> 01:34:51.319 course of this biennium. If this budget gets signed by 1712 01:34:51.359 --> 01:34:53.640 the governors, ultimately, let's get sent and signed by the governor, 1713 01:34:53.720 --> 01:34:56.640 Ohio will have the lowest rate in the Midwest and 1714 01:34:56.840 --> 01:34:59.119 be well on its way towards the zero percent income 1715 01:34:59.239 --> 01:35:02.039 tax position us Well for that, I should say, over 1716 01:35:02.119 --> 01:35:02.880 the next decade. 1717 01:35:03.399 --> 01:35:07.359 Well, and that's something that gubernatorial candidate and probably our 1718 01:35:07.399 --> 01:35:10.880 next coverer, Governor of viveg Ramaswami, is advocating for as well. 1719 01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:12.359 He wants to be he wants to how to be 1720 01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:14.119 the most competitive state out there. 1721 01:35:15.640 --> 01:35:17.600 Well, and that's a big part of the argument that 1722 01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:19.399 we've been making. And I think a lot of our 1723 01:35:19.920 --> 01:35:22.399 friends in the Senate, the folks who are real fiscal 1724 01:35:22.479 --> 01:35:26.840 stewards and champions of the taxpayer, like George Lang, Senate President, 1725 01:35:26.840 --> 01:35:30.800 around McCauley, terce Rino, they get that right. They understand 1726 01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:32.680 that we've got to keep making the margin if we 1727 01:35:32.840 --> 01:35:35.680 pause that because over the last decade, Brian, by the way, 1728 01:35:35.720 --> 01:35:38.520 over the last decade, we have cut from nine tax 1729 01:35:38.600 --> 01:35:41.119 brackets with the top marginal rate at about five percent 1730 01:35:41.880 --> 01:35:43.960 to this point where we're currently at two brackets, and 1731 01:35:44.000 --> 01:35:46.880 it's the Senate has their way, we have our way, right, 1732 01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:49.239 Ohio will be a flat income tax date a two 1733 01:35:49.279 --> 01:35:52.520 point seventy five percent. It's a phenomenal accomplishment over the 1734 01:35:52.600 --> 01:35:54.960 last decade. If you ask me, it's taken too long, 1735 01:35:55.399 --> 01:35:56.520 but hey, we're here now. 1736 01:35:56.760 --> 01:35:59.159 And and what it does is yet, if that's someone 1737 01:35:59.279 --> 01:36:02.039 like a governor swall me up to give that mandate 1738 01:36:02.079 --> 01:36:04.359 to the General Assembly and over the eight year seas 1739 01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:07.560 governor put Ohio at a zero percent income tax, well. 1740 01:36:07.439 --> 01:36:09.399 And that certainly go a long way to making Aye 1741 01:36:09.560 --> 01:36:12.039 more competitive. I mean, obviously, if you look at like 1742 01:36:12.159 --> 01:36:16.399 Texas and Florida, businesses flock the states with no income tax. 1743 01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:20.439 Yeah, and that's what in the press converence actually the 1744 01:36:20.479 --> 01:36:23.079 Senate President was talking about, the Finance Chair, Jerry Serena, 1745 01:36:23.239 --> 01:36:27.119 was talking about is and it's not just warm weather states, right, folks. 1746 01:36:27.439 --> 01:36:32.000 Businesses go where them where the economic climate is most favorable. 1747 01:36:32.399 --> 01:36:34.960 And when we think about economic development, not to bring 1748 01:36:35.039 --> 01:36:37.720 up the beginning of the segment necessarily, but one of 1749 01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:39.840 the challenges we have, I believe as a state is 1750 01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:42.359 because of our complexity, because of the amount of local 1751 01:36:42.399 --> 01:36:45.319 governments we have because of the tax burning we have 1752 01:36:45.640 --> 01:36:49.279 compared to states like Texas, Tennessee, or Florida, there's a 1753 01:36:49.600 --> 01:36:54.039 compelling nature the lawmakers are compelled to use taxpayer dollars 1754 01:36:54.439 --> 01:36:56.640 to try to lure businesses and develop into the state. 1755 01:36:56.760 --> 01:36:59.760 We can change that paradigm by creating a foundation that 1756 01:36:59.880 --> 01:37:03.600 is much more favorable the economic opportunity and prosperity. One 1757 01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:05.520 of the key ingredients of that is having a zero 1758 01:37:05.600 --> 01:37:07.680 percent income tax states. So when you bring your employees 1759 01:37:07.720 --> 01:37:10.119 to Ohio, you can tell them they're going to keep 1760 01:37:10.199 --> 01:37:12.119 all of their hard earned money yea, that they earn 1761 01:37:12.319 --> 01:37:14.640 nine to five Monday through Friday. It's great policy and 1762 01:37:14.720 --> 01:37:15.479 great politics. 1763 01:37:15.760 --> 01:37:20.760 It is now Obviously things like this get pushback. And 1764 01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:23.159 since the House did not have that, and I apologize 1765 01:37:23.199 --> 01:37:25.680 for misremembering that ALS build ninety six past the House 1766 01:37:25.720 --> 01:37:28.079 in April, that this is going to be a reconciliation 1767 01:37:28.239 --> 01:37:30.399 process that goes on between the Senates version of the 1768 01:37:30.399 --> 01:37:30.960 House version. 1769 01:37:31.000 --> 01:37:34.319 Then well, fortunately in Ohio we're not as complex and 1770 01:37:34.399 --> 01:37:38.960 convoluted as Washington, DCA. We have our own laws. But yeah, 1771 01:37:39.039 --> 01:37:40.840 so what we've got right now is we're really on 1772 01:37:40.960 --> 01:37:44.439 a clock. We have till probably about June twelfth is 1773 01:37:44.479 --> 01:37:48.199 when the Senate is expected to vote on the floor 1774 01:37:48.760 --> 01:37:50.399 for their version of the budget. What that would do 1775 01:37:50.479 --> 01:37:53.159 is then send it back over the House and they'll 1776 01:37:53.239 --> 01:37:56.600 do a They'll do a what's called a concurrence vote, 1777 01:37:56.800 --> 01:37:59.079 and typically they vote that down. 1778 01:37:59.279 --> 01:38:01.800 Depending on what this product is, it's maybe it just. 1779 01:38:01.800 --> 01:38:06.239 Makes sense to vote straight up and concur But if 1780 01:38:06.319 --> 01:38:09.199 they fail to concur which is historically what happens, they 1781 01:38:09.239 --> 01:38:11.640 go into a conference committee, sort of hash some details out, 1782 01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:12.640 send the bill back out. 1783 01:38:13.039 --> 01:38:16.000 So pretty straightforward process. 1784 01:38:15.720 --> 01:38:18.479 In that once the Senate's done, it really then goes 1785 01:38:18.600 --> 01:38:22.039 to a combined committee of the finances finance committees in 1786 01:38:22.039 --> 01:38:24.720 the House and Senate to kind of reconcile the process 1787 01:38:24.800 --> 01:38:25.800 and send it to the governor. 1788 01:38:26.000 --> 01:38:29.520 Now, do you find faults with anything that's currently in 1789 01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:33.000 the Senates version that you prefer the House version? Obviously 1790 01:38:33.079 --> 01:38:34.960 the House version doesn't have the cap of two point 1791 01:38:35.000 --> 01:38:37.880 seventy five, so there's a difference there. But are there 1792 01:38:37.960 --> 01:38:40.279 things in the House bill that aren't in the Senate 1793 01:38:40.319 --> 01:38:42.960 bill that AFP and my listeners should know about. 1794 01:38:44.359 --> 01:38:46.880 Well, I think what you saw with the House budget. 1795 01:38:47.720 --> 01:38:50.359 To answer your question, directly, No, based on what we're 1796 01:38:50.359 --> 01:38:52.840 seeing right now. In fact, what it looks like the 1797 01:38:52.920 --> 01:38:54.560 Senate has done, and this is sort of what they've 1798 01:38:54.600 --> 01:38:57.720 done historically over the past decade or so. In fact, 1799 01:38:57.760 --> 01:39:01.479 you'll see the House increase spending from what the executive 1800 01:39:01.479 --> 01:39:04.000 has asked for, and the Senate often over the last 1801 01:39:04.039 --> 01:39:07.039 several years, has come in and cut curb spending, restraint 1802 01:39:07.079 --> 01:39:09.920 spending from what the House is looking for. The House 1803 01:39:10.000 --> 01:39:13.479 actually curb spending about four point one billion dollars from 1804 01:39:13.520 --> 01:39:14.279 what Governor. 1805 01:39:14.039 --> 01:39:14.800 Dwine asked for. 1806 01:39:15.399 --> 01:39:17.640 The Senate came in and found another one point six 1807 01:39:17.760 --> 01:39:21.399 billion in in moneies that just don't fit the proper 1808 01:39:21.479 --> 01:39:24.119 role of government. And so I think what we're seeing, 1809 01:39:24.239 --> 01:39:27.159 I think it's a combination of former Senate President Matt 1810 01:39:27.199 --> 01:39:31.039 Huffman in leading the House Chamber and new Senate President 1811 01:39:31.119 --> 01:39:34.680 Rob mccaullay, who's a long time AFP Bucket Blueprint champion, 1812 01:39:35.720 --> 01:39:39.199 bringing his you know, restraint to the philosophy of leading 1813 01:39:39.239 --> 01:39:40.199 to the Senate Chamber. 1814 01:39:40.479 --> 01:39:43.199 And we've got two legislative leaders, two legislative chambers that. 1815 01:39:43.239 --> 01:39:45.640 Are really dialed in on the idea that you know, 1816 01:39:45.800 --> 01:39:50.159 this money isn't Columbus's money, it's the people of Ohio's money, 1817 01:39:50.319 --> 01:39:53.079 and we've got to exhibit fiscal stewardship because you know, 1818 01:39:53.520 --> 01:39:56.479 you know, for all the reasons Conservatives exhibit fiscal stewardship, 1819 01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:58.760 and that I think what we're seeing here and so 1820 01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:00.880 I think they took a good product, made it even better, 1821 01:40:01.439 --> 01:40:04.159 and I think our hope is sifting. 1822 01:40:03.920 --> 01:40:06.640 Through it still that this is probably a very good product. 1823 01:40:06.720 --> 01:40:09.359 Maybe you can make some additional tweaks and modifications, but 1824 01:40:09.960 --> 01:40:11.319 let's get this thing done and get it to the 1825 01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:13.880 governor and deliver on a flat tax for ohilands. 1826 01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:14.319 Amen. 1827 01:40:14.520 --> 01:40:16.479 It sounds like both sides are in the right going 1828 01:40:16.479 --> 01:40:18.560 in the right direction. In terms of those who are 1829 01:40:18.560 --> 01:40:21.600 opposed to reducing the income tax, I'm sure they're screaming 1830 01:40:21.640 --> 01:40:24.600 about not being able to afford what we do here 1831 01:40:24.760 --> 01:40:28.920 in Columbus on behalf of the Ohioans. How will they 1832 01:40:29.039 --> 01:40:33.319 deal with less revenue? Is the reduced revenue by reducing 1833 01:40:33.359 --> 01:40:37.039 this tax satisfied by the cuts that have been offered 1834 01:40:37.039 --> 01:40:37.920 by the House and Senate. 1835 01:40:39.359 --> 01:40:41.439 Yeah, that's sort of the idea, and really what we've 1836 01:40:41.560 --> 01:40:44.319 argued we did. We worked with the Buckeye Institute, Greg 1837 01:40:44.399 --> 01:40:46.720 Lawson and Ray Hederman to put together a study a 1838 01:40:46.760 --> 01:40:48.399 couple of years ago on how you get Ohio those 1839 01:40:48.479 --> 01:40:49.439 zero percent income tax. 1840 01:40:50.000 --> 01:40:51.640 One of the key ways you do is just don't 1841 01:40:51.680 --> 01:40:54.239 grow government so dang fast. Right, you can grow it, 1842 01:40:54.399 --> 01:40:55.680 just don't grow it so dang fast. 1843 01:40:55.720 --> 01:40:57.520 And that's what I think we're seeing in this budget 1844 01:40:57.560 --> 01:41:01.960 where I'm historic, be notoriously bad at math Brian, but 1845 01:41:02.159 --> 01:41:04.359 I think you know, the governor wanted to grow the 1846 01:41:04.359 --> 01:41:08.039 budget by about I think eight percent over the last 1847 01:41:08.079 --> 01:41:10.680 by anium. What the Senate comes in at is just 1848 01:41:10.800 --> 01:41:13.920 the just about four and a half percent growth by 1849 01:41:13.960 --> 01:41:16.640 anium over by anem And so when we just grow 1850 01:41:16.720 --> 01:41:19.159 it maybe where it's necessary right, where you just have 1851 01:41:19.479 --> 01:41:22.479 inflationary policies or what have you that have caused that 1852 01:41:22.840 --> 01:41:25.439 delivery of services to go up, that's the kind of 1853 01:41:25.439 --> 01:41:27.720 fiscal restraint we're asking for that enables you to then 1854 01:41:27.800 --> 01:41:29.880 buy down the tax. And that's what we're that's what 1855 01:41:29.920 --> 01:41:30.800 we're doing in this budget. 1856 01:41:30.800 --> 01:41:31.479 As far as we can. 1857 01:41:31.399 --> 01:41:34.159 Tell, Donald Neil, Americans for Prosperity usually end with the 1858 01:41:34.199 --> 01:41:36.720 call of action?

Good to have you in the studio, Brian. 1916 01:44:14.600 --> 01:44:17.159 You're the coffee of Cincinnati. So thanks for being out here. 1917 01:44:17.239 --> 01:44:21.079 Bro, that's a nice compliment. I appreciate that anyhow. You know, 1918 01:44:21.199 --> 01:44:23.520 I love the flag, and for me, the flag stands 1919 01:44:23.600 --> 01:44:27.399 for freedom. Freedom, freedom for you and me to live 1920 01:44:27.680 --> 01:44:31.119 as we choose to live in a country doesn't force 1921 01:44:31.239 --> 01:44:33.359 us to live in a particular way, and that's what 1922 01:44:33.439 --> 01:44:35.560 the symbol stands for. And I hate the fact that 1923 01:44:35.680 --> 01:44:38.159 people use it as a source of division. 1924 01:44:37.880 --> 01:44:41.520 As a token to somehow divide the masses. I know, 1925 01:44:42.600 --> 01:44:45.760 it makes no sense. They thrive to enter our country, 1926 01:44:46.359 --> 01:44:50.119 and yet then there's this movement to disgrace the symbol 1927 01:44:50.199 --> 01:44:50.600 that we have. 1928 01:44:51.199 --> 01:44:54.000 Well, and Flag Day is a great idea for us 1929 01:44:54.039 --> 01:44:56.279 to get back on track, and it is coming up 1930 01:44:56.359 --> 01:44:59.720 June fourteenth. When was the first Flag Day? 1931 01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:02.680 In hell? Long as we have we been I hope celebrating. 1932 01:45:03.479 --> 01:45:07.439 Wow. Yeah, So the actual adoption of the flags back 1933 01:45:07.479 --> 01:45:10.640 in seventeen seventy seven, we know, but the celebration of 1934 01:45:10.800 --> 01:45:15.359 Flag Day started back in nineteen sixteen. However, it wasn't 1935 01:45:15.439 --> 01:45:19.399 until President Woodrow Wilson, of all people, of all people, 1936 01:45:19.560 --> 01:45:23.720 in nineteen sixteen entered legislation, but it didn't take and 1937 01:45:23.800 --> 01:45:26.079 then it wasn't until nineteen forty nine. So you think 1938 01:45:26.079 --> 01:45:29.760 about that, thirty three years later, the National Flag Day 1939 01:45:30.039 --> 01:45:32.399 was adopted by an Act of Congress. Isn't that something? 1940 01:45:32.720 --> 01:45:35.800 It is? It's sad when you think about it, but 1941 01:45:36.039 --> 01:45:38.680 thank god at least they got around to it, right. 1942 01:45:39.000 --> 01:45:39.560 Right, right? 1943 01:45:39.720 --> 01:45:41.720 I guess World War One kind of set it aside 1944 01:45:41.800 --> 01:45:42.399 in sixteen. 1945 01:45:42.520 --> 01:45:44.600 I don't know a little distracted by that one. 1946 01:45:44.800 --> 01:45:47.960 Yeah, I can imagine anyway, I tell you what we're 1947 01:45:48.000 --> 01:45:49.760 up at a break, but we'll continue to talk about 1948 01:45:49.760 --> 01:45:52.199 the reason we fly the flag and why we should 1949 01:45:52.399 --> 01:45:55.319 and the events coming up more with Steve Belzo from 1950 01:45:55.319 --> 01:45:57.800 the Climate Couty Veterans Service Commission, and God bless each 1951 01:45:57.840 --> 01:45:59.560 and everyone there for all that you're doing for our 1952 01:45:59.640 --> 01:46:02.399 veteran quick word for foreign exchange, get your car fixed 1953 01:46:02.439 --> 01:46:06.479 for less.

A Happy Wednesday. 1992 01:47:57.039 --> 01:47:59.520 Steve Belzo in studio, Executive director of the Comic County 1993 01:47:59.560 --> 01:48:03.359 Veterans Commission, talking about Flag Day. It's next Saturday, and 1994 01:48:03.520 --> 01:48:05.960 I have the honor of participating in the flag retirement 1995 01:48:06.039 --> 01:48:09.119 ceremony every year will be at the Union Township Civic Center, 1996 01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:12.359 and I'm going to be honored to say a few 1997 01:48:12.399 --> 01:48:15.840 words there and learn how to properly dispose of a flag. 1998 01:48:15.920 --> 01:48:19.720 And there is a proper way, right, And let's maybe 1999 01:48:19.760 --> 01:48:21.079 briefly talk about that, Steve. 2000 01:48:21.479 --> 01:48:28.359 Sure, you know most people are flying a flag that's tattered, torn, worn, dirty. 2001 01:48:28.520 --> 01:48:29.920 Don't let Steve tam see that. 2002 01:48:30.399 --> 01:48:31.600 No, And then. 2003 01:48:33.119 --> 01:48:34.960 He'll give you an earfull. 2004 01:48:36.319 --> 01:48:38.760 Homeowners aren't sure what to do. They may throw it 2005 01:48:38.760 --> 01:48:41.079 in the trash, they may just let it continue to 2006 01:48:41.159 --> 01:48:43.720 fly in this ragged captain. 2007 01:48:45.039 --> 01:48:47.720 Faded. Really, it's almost like a white piece of cloth 2008 01:48:47.760 --> 01:48:48.560 at right the time. 2009 01:48:48.560 --> 01:48:51.960 Right so that there is a serviceability to our United 2010 01:48:52.000 --> 01:48:54.680 States flag. And when you see it starting to tear 2011 01:48:55.079 --> 01:49:00.680 or it's becoming fraid worn, faded out, pull it down, 2012 01:49:00.760 --> 01:49:02.600 put up a fresh one. But now what do I 2013 01:49:02.680 --> 01:49:06.039 do with the one I just retired? Great question. There 2014 01:49:06.319 --> 01:49:12.119 is a description in many military manuals and the Department 2015 01:49:12.119 --> 01:49:15.479 Offense of how we retire and dispose of a flag. 2016 01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:19.720 And that's done in a discrete ceremony, Brian. It's not 2017 01:49:19.840 --> 01:49:21.720 done by wearing it into a new pair of shorts. 2018 01:49:21.840 --> 01:49:24.840 We're not burning it in the front yard. It is 2019 01:49:24.920 --> 01:49:29.039 a small, discrete way. Matter of fact that Claremont County veterans, 2020 01:49:29.119 --> 01:49:33.359 we have a box where you can I buy another 2021 01:49:33.439 --> 01:49:36.479 hook to dispose of your worn flag and we will 2022 01:49:36.560 --> 01:49:39.600 take care of that discrete flag ceremony for you. 2023 01:49:40.079 --> 01:49:42.600 Yeah, and that's all what the flag retirement ceremony is 2024 01:49:42.600 --> 01:49:46.279 all about. And there are drop off locations all around. 2025 01:49:46.800 --> 01:49:48.760 It doesn't take much to find out where they are. 2026 01:49:49.399 --> 01:49:51.199 It makes sure you just don't throw it in the trash. 2027 01:49:51.319 --> 01:49:53.840 I mean, it is absolutely it's a sign of disrespect. 2028 01:49:53.960 --> 01:49:56.279 And if you really truly have respect for the flag 2029 01:49:56.359 --> 01:49:58.800 as well, you should. You should take care of it 2030 01:49:58.880 --> 01:50:00.479 properly when it's reached the end of its life and 2031 01:50:00.560 --> 01:50:03.520 don't fly a tattered, worn flag that in and of 2032 01:50:03.560 --> 01:50:05.880 itself is a sign of disrespect. And that's the purpose 2033 01:50:05.960 --> 01:50:11.279 of retiring the flag. Why should we fly the flag? 2034 01:50:11.359 --> 01:50:13.319 I have one minds up all the time. 2035 01:50:13.399 --> 01:50:13.560 Man. 2036 01:50:14.399 --> 01:50:16.560 I love driving into my driveway and see my flag 2037 01:50:16.640 --> 01:50:19.439 hanging there, right, because again, freedom it is. 2038 01:50:19.720 --> 01:50:21.800 It is freedom. But there are some caveat with that. 2039 01:50:22.439 --> 01:50:24.880 If you were flying your flag twenty four hours a 2040 01:50:25.000 --> 01:50:29.640 day from dusk to dawn, she should be illuminated. There 2041 01:50:29.680 --> 01:50:33.560 should be lights illuminating her. Otherwise we take it down 2042 01:50:33.600 --> 01:50:36.640 at night. Yes, that is respectful. It's not to be 2043 01:50:36.760 --> 01:50:39.399 hanging out beside the tree, and I guess they'll see 2044 01:50:39.439 --> 01:50:42.159 it in the morning, So have it illuminated at night. 2045 01:50:42.199 --> 01:50:46.560 Many of these flagpoles today have this rechargeable battery and 2046 01:50:46.640 --> 01:50:48.640 they shine down on the flag, and that's the purpose. 2047 01:50:49.159 --> 01:50:49.319 Right. 2048 01:50:49.920 --> 01:50:53.680 So I love my neighbors and all and people like 2049 01:50:53.840 --> 01:50:58.479 you that are standing for liberty, justice and freedom for all, 2050 01:50:58.800 --> 01:51:02.960 which is what that great flag stands for. The whole 2051 01:51:03.439 --> 01:51:07.039 world recognizes the United States flag. 2052 01:51:07.920 --> 01:51:08.159 They do. 2053 01:51:09.000 --> 01:51:11.199 And you know what I pointed out off air that 2054 01:51:11.279 --> 01:51:13.960 you know, I think one of the tragedies, if you 2055 01:51:14.000 --> 01:51:16.359 can even call that, of the fall of the Soviet Union, 2056 01:51:16.680 --> 01:51:19.760 that was our moral barometer. That was the country of 2057 01:51:19.840 --> 01:51:24.279 breadlines and political prisoners and oppression, right and outright murder 2058 01:51:24.439 --> 01:51:26.840 of citizenry. You think about Stalin and all the people 2059 01:51:26.920 --> 01:51:30.520 that they killed, because you know, good ideas don't require force. 2060 01:51:30.680 --> 01:51:34.720 Bad ideas require force. Right, the flag represents the antithesis 2061 01:51:34.880 --> 01:51:35.079 of that. 2062 01:51:35.600 --> 01:51:39.880 When you are taking a naval or model forward to 2063 01:51:39.960 --> 01:51:43.119 a foreign country. We see four pillars of power in 2064 01:51:43.159 --> 01:51:48.279 the United States or of any government, diplomacy, information, military, 2065 01:51:48.640 --> 01:51:52.520 and economic. When they see the military force off their 2066 01:51:52.600 --> 01:51:58.239 shores flying the United States flag, they know whose navy 2067 01:51:58.359 --> 01:52:01.359 and Marines are on board. It is a show of force, 2068 01:52:01.520 --> 01:52:03.960 and it is a force of strength because they can 2069 01:52:04.039 --> 01:52:05.880 recognize the flag that's flying. 2070 01:52:05.960 --> 01:52:08.720 And the accomplishments of the American military in the name 2071 01:52:08.840 --> 01:52:10.479 of freedom. I mean, we're not perfect. 2072 01:52:11.239 --> 01:52:15.199 Nobody has that's right. Nobody is well trying. 2073 01:52:15.279 --> 01:52:17.119 We're not going to come there to conquer you, take 2074 01:52:17.199 --> 01:52:20.119 you over and force things upon you or lock you 2075 01:52:20.319 --> 01:52:21.760 up for your thoughts and beliefs. 2076 01:52:22.079 --> 01:52:24.960 It's freeing other citizens in other countries bring in diplomacy. 2077 01:52:25.960 --> 01:52:28.560 Well, I'd like to encourage all my listeners to if 2078 01:52:28.600 --> 01:52:30.720 you don't have a flag, why not get one? 2079 01:52:31.199 --> 01:52:33.920 Why they're inexpensive. Matter of fact, if you need one 2080 01:52:33.920 --> 01:52:36.000 to fly, come see me in the Clarmont County Office. 2081 01:52:36.239 --> 01:52:37.119 I have one for you. 2082 01:52:37.560 --> 01:52:42.600 Then you will fly respectfully from a proper position in 2083 01:52:42.680 --> 01:52:46.000 front of your house. But I gotta say, Brian Flag 2084 01:52:46.119 --> 01:52:49.640 Day June fourteenth is also the Armies, my sisters and 2085 01:52:49.680 --> 01:52:53.800 another service two hundred and fiftieth birthday exactly? Is that 2086 01:52:53.920 --> 01:52:56.079 a by centennial and a half. I don't know how 2087 01:52:56.119 --> 01:52:57.920 to count that. I'll just say two fifty. 2088 01:52:58.039 --> 01:53:01.039 It's an amazing accomplishment. And I I read the article 2089 01:53:01.119 --> 01:53:06.840 this morning from the head of the Defense Department. He 2090 01:53:06.920 --> 01:53:11.039 wrote a letter just sort of proudly letting everyone know 2091 01:53:11.640 --> 01:53:14.239 that the Army has already met its recruiting goals. Sixty 2092 01:53:14.319 --> 01:53:18.720 one thousand enlistedes four months ahead of schedule, and we 2093 01:53:18.840 --> 01:53:21.800 were behind for the last four years. Yes, no one 2094 01:53:21.920 --> 01:53:24.600 was signing up. And gee, I wonder why things have 2095 01:53:24.800 --> 01:53:26.239 changed when you look at. 2096 01:53:26.159 --> 01:53:29.520 The size of our Navy and our army. It takes 2097 01:53:29.600 --> 01:53:33.960 an exceedingly large combine to bring enough young men and 2098 01:53:34.039 --> 01:53:38.000 women in to fill the ranks for them to exceed 2099 01:53:38.079 --> 01:53:40.720 this goal. Is a phenomenal effort by the Army. Good 2100 01:53:40.760 --> 01:53:43.000 on them, Good on them, and good on you again. 2101 01:53:43.079 --> 01:53:47.119 Klaimont County Veterans Service Commission.

It would take me 2105 01:53:55.920 --> 01:53:57.159 a couple of hours to get through it. 2106 01:53:57.199 --> 01:53:57.319 All. 2107 01:53:57.640 --> 01:53:59.199 You need to talk to Steve and the good people 2108 01:53:59.239 --> 01:54:02.279 to the climat County Veteran Service Commission, and maybe even 2109 01:54:02.359 --> 01:54:04.399 pick up a flag if you don't have one. I'm 2110 01:54:04.479 --> 01:54:06.479 very kind of you to offer that and thank you 2111 01:54:06.520 --> 01:54:07.840 again for your service to our country. 2112 01:54:07.880 --> 01:54:08.119 Steve. 2113 01:54:08.159 --> 01:54:11.039 It's always a pleasure seeing you.

But for the grace of God, 2427 02:11:15.880 --> 02:11:17.720 go iy it happened to Bond Hill. It happened to 2428 02:11:17.800 --> 02:11:20.720 Hyde Park since the city Council, you know, modifying the 2429 02:11:21.119 --> 02:11:24.760 zoning rules to help well connected developers do what they 2430 02:11:24.840 --> 02:11:27.640 want in the face of what their own constituents wanted. 2431 02:11:28.000 --> 02:11:30.199 I mean, I just I get so irked by this 2432 02:11:30.439 --> 02:11:33.680 John that they absolutely flat out refused to listen to 2433 02:11:33.840 --> 02:11:38.039 the throngs that showed up in opposition to this hotel 2434 02:11:38.279 --> 02:11:41.760 and apartment and underground parking. I mean, it's described as 2435 02:11:41.760 --> 02:11:43.920 a boutique hotel. It's not like that's going to solve 2436 02:11:43.960 --> 02:11:46.800 the homeless problem or the housing shorts in the city 2437 02:11:46.840 --> 02:11:49.159 of Cincinnati. Plus, I mean when you look at the 2438 02:11:49.239 --> 02:11:51.800 designs and the drawing of it, yes, it is about 2439 02:11:51.840 --> 02:11:55.079 the size in many cases, Despite what council Member Mika 2440 02:11:55.199 --> 02:11:58.399 Owens said about it, I'm wi you. 2441 02:11:58.600 --> 02:12:01.359 We're really proud of the twenty two different neighborhoods that 2442 02:12:01.439 --> 02:12:05.600 were represented in the among the collectors, the circulators of petitions, 2443 02:12:06.079 --> 02:12:09.760 and we had signatures from all over the city. And 2444 02:12:09.920 --> 02:12:11.760 you're word that may be a really good one, right 2445 02:12:11.800 --> 02:12:14.279 there is. People are irked, people would like to be heard. 2446 02:12:14.760 --> 02:12:19.520 We gave city Council chance after chance after chance, starting 2447 02:12:19.560 --> 02:12:23.600 in January at the Planning Commission staff meeting, more than 2448 02:12:23.680 --> 02:12:28.560 seven hundred emails, sixty people speaking against, four people speaking for. 2449 02:12:29.239 --> 02:12:31.960 That was a really good chance where we could have 2450 02:12:32.039 --> 02:12:33.880 just said, you know what, this isn't the right way 2451 02:12:33.880 --> 02:12:36.680 to go, let's do something else. They didn't. Here's the 2452 02:12:36.800 --> 02:12:39.760 really good news today though, we are giving City Council 2453 02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:45.000 yet another chance. They have a wonderful second opportunity today 2454 02:12:45.760 --> 02:12:49.000 to begin the process. They could excuse me, repeal the 2455 02:12:49.079 --> 02:12:53.640 decision from April twenty third, and everything could get started. 2456 02:12:54.079 --> 02:12:57.359 We want the smart development. We're open to the developer 2457 02:12:57.920 --> 02:13:00.800 engaging with us and sticking to the zon and that 2458 02:13:00.920 --> 02:13:03.800 could happen. All City Council has to do is repeal 2459 02:13:03.880 --> 02:13:07.720 their decision. They have that opportunity now, and if they don't, 2460 02:13:07.840 --> 02:13:10.279 and I have to say, I really wonder I don't 2461 02:13:10.319 --> 02:13:12.239 have a crystal ball. I'm not going to try to 2462 02:13:12.279 --> 02:13:15.359 predict what City Council would do. We are ready and 2463 02:13:15.560 --> 02:13:20.199 waiting to go into a ballot drive. I feel very 2464 02:13:20.359 --> 02:13:23.800 comfortable that we can motivate the same kind of response 2465 02:13:23.880 --> 02:13:26.960 we got to the signatures to turn out voters and 2466 02:13:27.159 --> 02:13:31.079 have people say you have to listen to the neighborhoods, 2467 02:13:31.439 --> 02:13:34.279 you have to listen to the people. You can't just 2468 02:13:34.439 --> 02:13:35.640 listen to the developers. 2469 02:13:35.920 --> 02:13:41.159 Yeah, and this concept really, this voter initiative, the citizen 2470 02:13:41.359 --> 02:13:44.439 initiative to have control over their lives. I think it 2471 02:13:44.600 --> 02:13:48.720 just it transcends development. I mean, you're taking a stand 2472 02:13:48.800 --> 02:13:51.399 against a council who won't listen. I don't care what 2473 02:13:51.640 --> 02:13:54.159 issue it is. I mean there was no question and 2474 02:13:54.239 --> 02:13:54.960 I go ahead. 2475 02:13:55.079 --> 02:13:57.279 Yeah, you and I touched on this once before. I 2476 02:13:57.359 --> 02:14:02.920 believe in a twenty twenty four place on engagement for 2477 02:14:03.039 --> 02:14:07.760 the city, ten glassy pages beautifully produced, the words neighborhood 2478 02:14:07.800 --> 02:14:14.159 council and community council don't appear once. This administration and 2479 02:14:14.279 --> 02:14:18.279 this iteration of City Council is very clear that they 2480 02:14:18.760 --> 02:14:22.039 know what we need and they don't need to hear 2481 02:14:22.119 --> 02:14:25.399 from us. Yeah, they really want our vote, they really 2482 02:14:25.479 --> 02:14:29.439 don't want our voice. Is how it feels. And that's 2483 02:14:29.520 --> 02:14:31.960 what this is really about. And that's why I have 2484 02:14:32.159 --> 02:14:35.560 such comfort about November. If it comes to that again, 2485 02:14:35.840 --> 02:14:37.720 I think City Council should do the right thing and 2486 02:14:37.840 --> 02:14:40.520 repeal this right now. But if they don't, I think 2487 02:14:40.600 --> 02:14:42.560 citizens are going to show up. And if I ask 2488 02:14:42.640 --> 02:14:45.119 you the question, hey, do you want to say in 2489 02:14:45.239 --> 02:14:47.840 what goes on in your neighborhood or do you want 2490 02:14:47.880 --> 02:14:49.920 a developer to make a little bit more money. I 2491 02:14:50.119 --> 02:14:52.800 think I'll get the right answer to that most times. 2492 02:14:53.159 --> 02:14:55.479 John, with our question. And you know what, this is 2493 02:14:55.600 --> 02:14:57.439 kind of like it's supposed to be. 2494 02:14:57.600 --> 02:14:59.479 And I think council and the mayor of lost the 2495 02:14:59.600 --> 02:15:04.680 conc of representative democracy. The citizens of the city of 2496 02:15:04.720 --> 02:15:08.720 Cincinnati didn't elect this group to be dictators and control 2497 02:15:08.960 --> 02:15:12.079 exclusively the direction of the city. They're there to represent 2498 02:15:12.199 --> 02:15:16.239 the will of the citizenry, which differs from neighborhood to neighborhood. 2499 02:15:16.279 --> 02:15:18.359 That's what irked me about the connected communities thing. They 2500 02:15:18.399 --> 02:15:20.399 shoved down everybody suits. They didn't listen to any local 2501 02:15:20.439 --> 02:15:25.319 communities about that. Some embraced the concept, others outright wanted 2502 02:15:25.359 --> 02:15:29.079 to reject it, but they all wanted control locally. And 2503 02:15:29.439 --> 02:15:31.720 all the communities are different in many respects. I mean 2504 02:15:31.760 --> 02:15:33.840 the Hyde Park is a great illustration of that. You're 2505 02:15:33.840 --> 02:15:35.880 not the same as bond Hill. You guys have different 2506 02:15:35.960 --> 02:15:39.159 needs and different ones and different desires by the citizens. 2507 02:15:39.199 --> 02:15:42.920 But again it's the citizen who should control. Conceptually, the 2508 02:15:43.000 --> 02:15:44.319 direction of the city goes. 2509 02:15:44.960 --> 02:15:48.279 Well and specifically neighborhood by neighborhood, as you're saying, we 2510 02:15:48.479 --> 02:15:53.439 have fifty two fantastic neighborhoods across the city, and many 2511 02:15:53.520 --> 02:15:56.239 of them were represented in this effort. From Mount Washington 2512 02:15:56.520 --> 02:15:59.720 all the way to Salor Park. They showed up because 2513 02:15:59.800 --> 02:16:02.680 they agree with what you're saying. Of we should get 2514 02:16:02.760 --> 02:16:05.920 a say, and it's not just being known. I don't 2515 02:16:05.960 --> 02:16:09.479 want to split a hair here. I know City Council listened, 2516 02:16:10.119 --> 02:16:12.880 but I know we weren't heard. And I've seen plenty 2517 02:16:13.239 --> 02:16:17.039 of op eds and plenty of Reddit pieces that say, oh, 2518 02:16:17.359 --> 02:16:20.520 they just don't like the answer. Oh, Hyde Park, it's 2519 02:16:20.640 --> 02:16:24.680 just another nimby thing. This is anything but not in 2520 02:16:24.880 --> 02:16:29.199 my backyard. This is not in our city. We want 2521 02:16:29.319 --> 02:16:32.959 a representative government that not only listens or shows up 2522 02:16:33.000 --> 02:16:36.120 and sits in the room while we're talking, but communicates 2523 02:16:36.440 --> 02:16:39.360 and engages. And that's what we're asking from the developer 2524 02:16:39.440 --> 02:16:43.239 as well. City Hall and the developer, in my opinion, 2525 02:16:43.600 --> 02:16:46.840 have engaged in this in a very similar manner. They 2526 02:16:46.920 --> 02:16:48.040 want to do what they want to do. 2527 02:16:48.479 --> 02:16:49.079 They have not. 2528 02:16:49.239 --> 02:16:52.959 Engaged in real dialogue. We certainly sat down with many 2529 02:16:53.079 --> 02:16:56.159 different council members at different times, some of them took 2530 02:16:56.239 --> 02:16:58.840 the time to come out to the square, et cetera, 2531 02:16:59.040 --> 02:17:02.479 but we were not heard. The way to do this 2532 02:17:03.000 --> 02:17:06.079 was to stop it and say, no, we have We're 2533 02:17:06.120 --> 02:17:09.360 not giving the PD. We're not giving planned development just 2534 02:17:09.479 --> 02:17:12.600 because somebody asks for it, and we really want to 2535 02:17:12.719 --> 02:17:16.559 see that change. And again, city Council has the opportunity. 2536 02:17:17.000 --> 02:17:20.040 We don't have to wait until November to move forward 2537 02:17:20.200 --> 02:17:23.760 with this development. We are good for smart development and 2538 02:17:23.879 --> 02:17:27.520 the zoning is fine. The local zoning could work. We 2539 02:17:27.600 --> 02:17:30.440 have had other developers say I could make money within 2540 02:17:30.520 --> 02:17:33.760 the local zoning. Sure they could make more money. Why 2541 02:17:33.760 --> 02:17:35.680 don't we just let them build one hundred stories and 2542 02:17:35.719 --> 02:17:37.440 see how much money they could make off of that. 2543 02:17:37.760 --> 02:17:41.040 So our goal right now, I would encourage City Council 2544 02:17:41.159 --> 02:17:44.040 to hear us do the repeal, do the right thing. 2545 02:17:44.360 --> 02:17:46.879 That would help the developer to get started on the process. 2546 02:17:47.079 --> 02:17:49.680 It would help the citizens to both feel heard and 2547 02:17:49.879 --> 02:17:52.239 know that the current zoning is being respected and that 2548 02:17:52.319 --> 02:17:55.639 there'll be some engagement from day one. We've only asked 2549 02:17:55.680 --> 02:17:59.399 for one thing, that zoning be respected and we engage 2550 02:17:59.600 --> 02:18:02.719 with the developer in the process. That's all we've asked for. 2551 02:18:03.280 --> 02:18:07.840 And eighteen four hundred plus people said yeah, we should 2552 02:18:07.879 --> 02:18:10.920 even vote on that rather than this just going through. 2553 02:18:11.520 --> 02:18:12.079 Amen to that. 2554 02:18:12.239 --> 02:18:15.000 Well, I think illustrative of the attitude of council when 2555 02:18:15.040 --> 02:18:18.280 I asked, I believe about repealing it, because the various 2556 02:18:18.319 --> 02:18:21.719 council members were asked about that, Why just throw in 2557 02:18:21.799 --> 02:18:24.479 the towel and just repeal the variance of the zoning. 2558 02:18:24.799 --> 02:18:28.559 Council member Mika Owens quoted as saying the following, we 2559 02:18:28.639 --> 02:18:31.799 are leaving all options open. There's where the sailing part 2560 02:18:31.879 --> 02:18:34.840 comes in. During tough decisions, I have centered myself in 2561 02:18:35.319 --> 02:18:39.239 my values. The high park development required me to critically 2562 02:18:39.840 --> 02:18:43.520 to do it critically centering values around accessible housing for all, 2563 02:18:43.719 --> 02:18:46.879 support for small businesses, and more spaces for the people 2564 02:18:46.920 --> 02:18:49.440 of our city to gather in community. Whatever the hell 2565 02:18:49.440 --> 02:18:52.520 that's supposed to mean. This referendum is not about the height. 2566 02:18:52.879 --> 02:18:55.959 This referendum is on development as a whole. I will 2567 02:18:56.000 --> 02:19:00.239 always to stand behind projects that share my value use 2568 02:19:00.319 --> 02:19:02.959 for collective and collaborative growth for the people of the 2569 02:19:03.040 --> 02:19:06.000 city of Cincinnati. I mean, it's all about what she wants. 2570 02:19:06.040 --> 02:19:09.399 Apparently I hear those two minds in there. That last 2571 02:19:09.479 --> 02:19:13.639 line about collective and collaborative. There was nothing collective or 2572 02:19:13.719 --> 02:19:18.639 collaborative about this process with either the developer or city council. 2573 02:19:19.000 --> 02:19:21.600 The other piece that's in there, there's nothing in here 2574 02:19:21.879 --> 02:19:25.239 about housing that actually is going to work for the community, 2575 02:19:25.559 --> 02:19:26.959 that what we actually. 2576 02:19:26.799 --> 02:19:27.799 Need in this city. 2577 02:19:28.159 --> 02:19:32.559 This is a money making, profit driven piece for the developer, 2578 02:19:32.600 --> 02:19:35.600 and that is fine. I want developers to make a good, 2579 02:19:35.760 --> 02:19:39.440 solid profit. That makes great sense, but it shouldn't be 2580 02:19:40.360 --> 02:19:43.600 cloaked in oh, we're getting city housing. No, you're getting 2581 02:19:43.639 --> 02:19:46.399 a hotel, and you're getting stuff that's going to be 2582 02:19:46.520 --> 02:19:49.879 beyond the price range of the vast majority of citizens 2583 02:19:49.959 --> 02:19:54.479 of this city. That's not answering the issue of the moment. 2584 02:19:55.159 --> 02:19:56.399 It isn't well. 2585 02:19:56.520 --> 02:19:59.840 Her values for collective and collaborative growth apparently don't mean 2586 02:20:00.079 --> 02:20:02.040 elaborate collaborating with the citizen ry. 2587 02:20:02.120 --> 02:20:02.920 Johnsons or Is you. 2588 02:20:03.000 --> 02:20:05.399 Pointed out those were two bad choices of words and 2589 02:20:05.440 --> 02:20:08.200 the other pieces. Have you ever been to Hyde Park Square, 2590 02:20:08.280 --> 02:20:10.959 for say, the Farmer's Market on Sunday or even just 2591 02:20:11.040 --> 02:20:14.760 a regular summer weeknight. There are people in the square 2592 02:20:15.200 --> 02:20:19.440 all the time. It is one of the most livable 2593 02:20:20.000 --> 02:20:24.239 community places in this city, and it's a real treasure. 2594 02:20:24.520 --> 02:20:29.040 And this would quite simply change that on the forever. 2595 02:20:29.440 --> 02:20:33.360 It would be a complete change in how people could 2596 02:20:33.520 --> 02:20:36.399 live there. We would actually lose what I think she's saying. 2597 02:20:36.799 --> 02:20:40.120 She's very much for of places where people can gather. 2598 02:20:40.680 --> 02:20:42.639 Well, let's hope they do the right thing. 2599 02:20:42.840 --> 02:20:45.959 Actually, I believe repealing the zoning variants and going back 2600 02:20:46.000 --> 02:20:48.079 to square one will probably help them in their re 2601 02:20:48.319 --> 02:20:52.200 election efforts in November. But let them sink or swim 2602 02:20:52.760 --> 02:20:54.319 on the weight of their own decision making. 2603 02:20:54.479 --> 02:20:57.079 I'm not a political expert, but I can't imagine any 2604 02:20:57.079 --> 02:20:59.559 of their political directors are going, oh, yeah, this is 2605 02:20:59.639 --> 02:21:02.120 a great issue for us. For the seven people who 2606 02:21:02.239 --> 02:21:04.799 voted the way they did, I don't think they want 2607 02:21:04.840 --> 02:21:08.200 to be going looking for getting re elected with us 2608 02:21:08.680 --> 02:21:10.959 walking around behind them saying you voted the wrong way 2609 02:21:11.040 --> 02:21:14.040 on this, and all those people from all those neighborhoods 2610 02:21:14.079 --> 02:21:17.520 with them. I really hope they will help us, help 2611 02:21:17.600 --> 02:21:21.000 the developer, and help themselves by doing the right thing 2612 02:21:21.079 --> 02:21:22.040 and repealing. 2613 02:21:22.319 --> 02:21:24.799 Well, it's a good campaign for Corey Bowman. I don't 2614 02:21:24.799 --> 02:21:26.799 care how you feel one way or another about Corey Bowman, 2615 02:21:26.879 --> 02:21:28.680 but he has at least that issue to run on 2616 02:21:29.760 --> 02:21:34.239 the current circumstances John's inzer. I'm really impressed by you 2617 02:21:34.319 --> 02:21:35.959 and the team and the hard work that you put 2618 02:21:36.000 --> 02:21:38.920 into this, making a stand for the right thing and 2619 02:21:39.040 --> 02:21:41.760 standing up to a council who obviously is not listening. 2620 02:21:41.840 --> 02:21:45.200 This is a true showing of representative democracy and action 2621 02:21:45.360 --> 02:21:48.920 and the people wanting the representatives to do what they 2622 02:21:49.040 --> 02:21:51.440 want and go in the direction they want. So great 2623 02:21:51.520 --> 02:21:53.600 illustration of what can be done when you put some 2624 02:21:53.680 --> 02:21:56.120 effort behind it. John, keep up the great work, and 2625 02:21:56.280 --> 02:21:58.120 let's hope they repeal it, but if not, we're off 2626 02:21:58.159 --> 02:21:59.159 with the polls in November. 2627 02:22:00.120 --> 02:22:00.719 Thank you, Brian. 2628 02:22:00.799 --> 02:22:03.200 It is a great team and we really appreciate your support. 2629 02:22:03.479 --> 02:22:05.440 I'm happy to be here to let people know about 2630 02:22:05.440 --> 02:22:07.079 it and talk about it, because again you can tell 2631 02:22:07.159 --> 02:22:10.840 by my agitated voice that it really really irked me 2632 02:22:10.959 --> 02:22:13.760 to know when John, good luck. We'll talk again before November. 2633 02:22:13.760 --> 02:22:15.399 If they don't repeal it, I'm certain of that. 2634 02:22:16.520 --> 02:22:18.639 Thank you, Brian. Thank you.

He wrote on Acts This massive, 2661 02:23:43.879 --> 02:23:49.200 outrageous port Field Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. 2662 02:23:50.360 --> 02:23:52.520 Shame on those who voted for it. You know you 2663 02:23:52.680 --> 02:23:53.360 did wrong. 2664 02:23:53.600 --> 02:23:54.000 You know it. 2665 02:23:56.319 --> 02:24:00.319 He wanted more cuts. Donald Trump having a go at 2666 02:24:00.360 --> 02:24:02.600 Senator Rand Paul. My friends in the Commonwealth, do you 2667 02:24:02.680 --> 02:24:08.239 agree with Donald Trump? He had a follow up to 2668 02:24:08.399 --> 02:24:10.520 his original to eat Senator ran Paul has very little 2669 02:24:10.600 --> 02:24:14.040 understanding of this bb of the BBB, especially the tremendous 2670 02:24:14.200 --> 02:24:17.200 growth that is coming. He loves voting no on everything. 2671 02:24:17.280 --> 02:24:19.680 He thinks it's good politics, but it's not. The BBB 2672 02:24:19.920 --> 02:24:23.520 is a big winner. Followed up by Rand votes no 2673 02:24:23.840 --> 02:24:27.280 on everything, but never has any practical or constructive ideas. 2674 02:24:27.959 --> 02:24:34.559 His ideas are actually crazy parenthetical losers exclamation point. The 2675 02:24:34.600 --> 02:24:38.479 people of Kentucky can't stand him. My friends in the 2676 02:24:38.479 --> 02:24:41.000 Commonwealth really feel that way about Senator ran Paul, who 2677 02:24:41.120 --> 02:24:46.879 clearly does have practical or constructive ideas. He doesn't want 2678 02:24:46.920 --> 02:24:53.399 to increase the debt ceiling five trillion dollars, five trillion dollars, 2679 02:24:56.879 --> 02:25:02.079 and it doesn't cut enough the salt deduction's gone up 2680 02:25:02.079 --> 02:25:06.280 to forty thousand dollars. Republicans did that thanks to three states. 2681 02:25:08.200 --> 02:25:10.680 And here's the proof that Ran Paul knows what's in it. 2682 02:25:11.600 --> 02:25:16.840 Let me quote the Senator. I support the tax cuts. 2683 02:25:16.920 --> 02:25:19.920 I voted for them in twenty seventeen. I support making 2684 02:25:19.959 --> 02:25:23.040 the tax cuts permanent. I support and voted for basically 2685 02:25:23.159 --> 02:25:26.000 allowing the tips the note tax on tips, and in fact, 2686 02:25:26.360 --> 02:25:29.600 it passed the Senate unanimously. I'm hoping they will do 2687 02:25:29.680 --> 02:25:30.959 that in the House and take it out of the 2688 02:25:31.000 --> 02:25:33.520 big beautiful bill and do it separately by unanimous consent. 2689 02:25:33.719 --> 02:25:35.719 If we do that, it actually makes the bill a 2690 02:25:35.799 --> 02:25:39.040 little easier in terms of the accounting numbers if that 2691 02:25:39.159 --> 02:25:42.280 part's taken out. I'm for the tax cuts, for making 2692 02:25:42.319 --> 02:25:44.559 the tax cuts permanent, he repeated. I'm for as many 2693 02:25:44.639 --> 02:25:47.479 spending cuts as we can get Republicans to vote for. 2694 02:25:47.959 --> 02:25:50.840 But even if that's not perfect, I'd still vote for 2695 02:25:50.920 --> 02:25:54.360 the tax cuts and the spending cuts. The thing I 2696 02:25:54.520 --> 02:25:58.440 am adamantly opposed to is raising the debt ceiling by 2697 02:25:58.559 --> 02:26:03.200 five trillion dollars. Now here's what, in contrast to what 2698 02:26:03.360 --> 02:26:06.520 Donald Trump says, he has no practical or constructive ideas. 2699 02:26:06.600 --> 02:26:10.239 Let me pivot over to what Paul said. I've proposed 2700 02:26:10.239 --> 02:26:16.520 an alternative. Instead of five trillion, which is estimated to 2701 02:26:16.559 --> 02:26:19.200 be two years worth of debt, I've said, let's do 2702 02:26:19.639 --> 02:26:23.440 three months worth of debt, because I don't trust the 2703 02:26:23.479 --> 02:26:28.079 Republican leadership to an act spending cuts. He's got a 2704 02:26:28.280 --> 02:26:30.799 historic foundation upon which to make that statement too. I 2705 02:26:30.920 --> 02:26:34.479 might interject, we'd give them three months worth, which is 2706 02:26:34.520 --> 02:26:38.000 about five hundred billion, which is hard to believe that 2707 02:26:38.120 --> 02:26:41.920 five hundred billion is only three months of borrowing. Borrow 2708 02:26:42.000 --> 02:26:45.479 for three months, and then have the debate again. I 2709 02:26:45.600 --> 02:26:49.520 have the opposite opinion of what many others have. People say, 2710 02:26:49.639 --> 02:26:52.360 we don't want to vote on the debt ceiling. It's embarrassing. 2711 02:26:52.520 --> 02:26:54.840 Let's just do two years and then we only have 2712 02:26:55.000 --> 02:26:58.840 to vote once during the entire Trump administration. I'd vote 2713 02:26:58.879 --> 02:27:02.239 on it every day if I had the choice three months, 2714 02:27:02.879 --> 02:27:07.280 three or four or five months. It's more reasonable. 2715 02:27:09.399 --> 02:27:10.159 And amen to that. 2716 02:27:11.920 --> 02:27:16.559 How about delivering on the maybe more difficult things, cutting 2717 02:27:17.840 --> 02:27:22.200 non discretionary spending, which they're endeavoring to do with the 2718 02:27:22.319 --> 02:27:29.239 nine point four billion dollar DOGE cut proposal. According to 2719 02:27:29.319 --> 02:27:31.559 Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday in a statement today, we have 2720 02:27:31.600 --> 02:27:35.319 officially received the recisions request. I mean we've got we 2721 02:27:35.440 --> 02:27:38.680 got budget reconciliation, which only requires a majority in the Senate, 2722 02:27:38.879 --> 02:27:43.440 barely barely past the House. Because it didn't cut enough. 2723 02:27:45.120 --> 02:27:47.200 You got an uphill challenge in the Senate with Paul 2724 02:27:47.319 --> 02:27:50.159 among others. There are other senators who are not pleased 2725 02:27:50.239 --> 02:27:54.000 because well you got Senator Ron Johnson Wisconsin blasting the 2726 02:27:54.040 --> 02:27:57.399 bill for not cutting enough spending. Rick Scott of Florida 2727 02:27:57.440 --> 02:28:02.360 also calling for fiscal sanity in the bill. You can't 2728 02:28:02.399 --> 02:28:04.719 lose many or any really when it comes right down 2729 02:28:04.760 --> 02:28:10.239 to it to get fifty one. But anyway, that's under reconciliation. 2730 02:28:10.440 --> 02:28:14.360 But insofar as recision, we've officially received the recision request 2731 02:28:14.399 --> 02:28:17.079 from the White House to eliminate nine point four billion 2732 02:28:17.239 --> 02:28:21.239 in wasteful foreign aid spending at State and USAID and 2733 02:28:21.360 --> 02:28:24.520 the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds MPR and PBS. 2734 02:28:24.600 --> 02:28:26.200 The House will act quickly on this request. 2735 02:28:26.280 --> 02:28:29.559 The recision package reflects many of Doge's findings, and as 2736 02:28:29.600 --> 02:28:32.319 one of the many legislative tools Republicans are using to 2737 02:28:32.799 --> 02:28:35.959 restore fiscal sanity. Congress will continue working closely with the 2738 02:28:36.000 --> 02:28:38.639 White House to codify these recommendations, and the House will 2739 02:28:38.639 --> 02:28:41.559 bring the package to the floor as quickly as possible. See, 2740 02:28:41.959 --> 02:28:44.879 I think this is leverage to get people who don't 2741 02:28:45.079 --> 02:28:49.079 really truly believe that the Republicans, like Senator Ram Paul, 2742 02:28:49.159 --> 02:28:51.680 doesn't believe that the Republicans actually move forward in advance 2743 02:28:51.760 --> 02:28:53.559 bills that will cut spending. 2744 02:28:54.879 --> 02:28:55.799 So magically. 2745 02:28:56.120 --> 02:28:59.959 On the while the Senate is considering the big, beautiful 2746 02:29:00.040 --> 02:29:02.360 little bill, and you got guys like Senator Ran Paul 2747 02:29:02.440 --> 02:29:06.399 talking about five trillion dollars and sadly the only one 2748 02:29:06.479 --> 02:29:09.639 that sounds like he's voicing his concerns over digging us 2749 02:29:09.680 --> 02:29:15.319 out into a far bigger hole. They toss out this 2750 02:29:16.079 --> 02:29:19.159 recision bill to eliminate eight nine point four billion. Now 2751 02:29:19.239 --> 02:29:20.879 that's a lot of money, but it's nowhere near the 2752 02:29:20.920 --> 02:29:22.239 amount of money that needs to be cut out of 2753 02:29:22.280 --> 02:29:25.280 a federal government. Why because we spend trillions of dollars 2754 02:29:25.360 --> 02:29:28.719 more than we take in every year, or rather they do, 2755 02:29:32.120 --> 02:29:34.159 and many of commented, the Republicans are going to own 2756 02:29:34.200 --> 02:29:37.079 the national debt once they've passed this five trillion dollar increase, 2757 02:29:37.079 --> 02:29:38.799 they're going to blow through that. You know, it's happening. 2758 02:29:38.879 --> 02:29:41.200 They haven't cut enough to pair back what they spend. 2759 02:29:41.280 --> 02:29:45.760 Every year, year after year after year, the hole gets 2760 02:29:45.920 --> 02:29:49.319 deeper and the debt service on what we borrow gets bigger, 2761 02:29:49.399 --> 02:29:51.760 and it cut requires more money. North of a trillion 2762 02:29:51.799 --> 02:29:53.799 dollars in debt service one hundred and twenty two percent 2763 02:29:53.840 --> 02:29:57.280 of gross domestic product already. You haven't seen numbers like 2764 02:29:57.360 --> 02:30:00.959 this outside of wartime, and we're not in a war. 2765 02:30:02.440 --> 02:30:02.639 Yet. 2766 02:30:04.840 --> 02:30:07.239 Eight fifty five fifty five KR see de talk station 2767 02:30:07.760 --> 02:30:10.559 talk about an existential threat. I know, I hate you 2768 02:30:10.639 --> 02:30:12.520 hate me using that word over and over again, but 2769 02:30:13.200 --> 02:30:15.040 how else can you really sum it up? It is 2770 02:30:15.120 --> 02:30:18.799 like definitional existential threats going on out there. Big picture 2771 02:30:18.840 --> 02:30:20.639 with Jack Avian and beware what you read on the 2772 02:30:20.680 --> 02:30:23.719 beach Always beautiful commentary from Jack and get that podcast 2773 02:30:23.719 --> 02:30:26.840 at five KRC dot com.
