<v Speaker 1>Do anything Trump does.

2
00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:03.399
<v Speaker 2>I think he knows what we are doing every day, what

3
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:07.879
<v Speaker 2>we have to you know. Fifty five KRCD Talk Station

4
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 2>seven oh six I fifty five Kercite talk Station, A

5
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>very Happy Friday slash Valentine'sdad. Everybody. Brian Thomas always pleased

6
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>to look across the studio table here and see Todd Zends,

7
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 2>their former inspector general. He knows where the low hanging

8
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 2>fruit is as well. Todd Senzer, welcome back, man. It's

9
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.600
<v Speaker 2>great to have you in studio. You're brilliant, and you're

10
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>very informative, and you benefit every one of my listeners

11
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>when you show up. That means a lot to me.

12
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's before we guy dive into and you can explain

13
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>what Rising fifteen is and we'll deal with some local

14
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 2>shenanigans and other things. We're just having this off air

15
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>conversation about the Democrats just screaming their head off about

16
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 2>the revelation of all this fraud, wasting abuse and the

17
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>efforts to stop it. You know, Billionaire Elon Musk. Billionaire

18
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk. It's like, wait a second, you're defending the

19
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 2>literally indefensible in saying that these cuts shouldn't be made.

20
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they are showing that it's the low hanging fruit,

21
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 2>the dumb, the stupid, the ridiculous, the waste. And I

22
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>read this, the editorial board point this, so you want

23
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>proof of government fraud. I had to read it because

24
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 2>all of this information, all of the areas of fraud,

25
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 2>wasting abuse, previously identified under the Biden administration's people two

26
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty three to five hundred and twenty one

27
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>billion annually in fraud from the Government Accountability Office last year,

28
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.359
<v Speaker 2>and then it just goes on and on and on.

29
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>People in the Biden administration identified this, and so that

30
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk is now and Donald Trump are now doing

31
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 2>something about previously identified areas of fraud wasted abuse, and

32
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>now they're screaming about it as if it isn't real.

33
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Right. The interesting thing, Brian, is that the GAO, the

34
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Government Accountability Office, is actually an arm of Congress. So

35
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>it's their own auditor. It's Congress's own auditor that's coming

36
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>up with this. So members of Congress should not be

37
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>complaining about what they're finding. You would think that.

38
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>That Elon Musk is coming in and threatening to molest

39
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 2>their children or something. I don't know how to frame it,

40
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>but I just stand in awe and aghast, in a

41
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>state of disbelief over the loud, screaming, angry cries of

42
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>these elected officials, and I think, wait a second, you

43
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>were elected. You have constituents. These constituents presumably participated in

44
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>work ergo, paid into the federal government via the income

45
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>tax system and most notably, separate line item Social Security system,

46
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>thinking at some point that they were going to reap

47
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 2>the benefits of getting a Social Security check. Elon Musk

48
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>comes out and says, look, dead people are getting checks.

49
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>People that aren't entitled to get Social Security checks are

50
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>getting your money. CBOs identified for years the Social Security

51
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>is painfully underwater, so everybody's at risk of not even

52
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>getting it. And that's if it's a well oiled, non

53
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>corrupt machine. But in response to him pointing this out,

54
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 2>they scream and try about how he's taking your Social

55
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Security benefits away. How do they answer to their own

56
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 2>constituents with something.

57
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 1>Like that, Well, unfortunately, I think the constituents that they're

58
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>worried about are the constituents that support them and make

59
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the most noise about Trump or not having enough money

60
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 1>to do certain things that those are the people they're

61
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 1>listening to. They're listening to the people that have been

62
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>feeding off the federal government for all these years.

63
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, In the follow up question, which I know the

64
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>answer to because I asked it before we started, are

65
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>there that many people out there getting this money in

66
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 2>a form of like recipients of no into the non

67
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>government organizations or feeding at the trough of some ridiculous

68
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>program paid for by the American taxpayer.

69
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there's there. There are those people, and there are

70
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>also people like members of the military industrial complex, all

71
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>of these iron triangles that orbit the federal government. You've

72
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>got that issue too, But you know that's alive and well.

73
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Here in Cincinnati there are I don't know, forty or

74
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>fifty different groups that the city funds on an annual

75
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 1>basis with you know, fifty thousand here, two hundred thousand there,

76
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 1>and it's I mean, there's a name for it, but

77
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 1>it's it is.

78
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. You can't stay it on the air, though, because

79
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>that's just the non compliant.

80
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>But that's the way the system is right now, Charlie Foxtrot,

81
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>not only in the United States but here locally as well.

82
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.040
<v Speaker 2>But just using springing from your the framing of that,

83
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not disagreeing with your analysis or assessment of that.

84
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 2>The City of Cincinnati doles out these dollars, Is that

85
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>coming from the city's general fund, which is fueled by

86
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnatians and the the the income tax that they pay

87
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 2>into the general fund.

88
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's all coming out of there. It's all coming

89
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>out of the city's general fund.

90
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's a city version of what the federal government

91
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>is doing exactly. This problem is beyond systemic.

92
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it is.

93
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:29.560
<v Speaker 3>It is.

94
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.439
<v Speaker 2>You can feel free to make me better, Todd, I

95
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>make me feel better about this. You're not.

96
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 1>It is baked in, that's for sure.

97
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>It's very What do you think the landscape of the

98
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>economy would look like if the plug just got pulled

99
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 2>on all this extraneous and I will use the word

100
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>crap because that's exactly the way I feel about it.

101
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, not only do you have to stop these programs,

102
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>but you have to stop you have to stop funding

103
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>them through taxes. If we didn't have all these programs,

104
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>we wouldn't be paying all these taxes and the economy

105
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>would The economy would have the money instead of the

106
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>federal government or the state.

107
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Government fueling industry and business and goods and services that

108
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>the economy thrives on because people actually want what they're

109
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 2>providing exactly.

110
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>It's more the free market system that's been corrupted.

111
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, it breaks my heart to say this, but

112
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, looking at this landscape and the just absolute

113
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 2>opposition to curbing this fraud, waste and abuse, and the

114
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 2>size of the national deficit and the debt service we're

115
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>paying on it, you know deep down that it's going

116
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>to require a collapse of the fiat currency in order

117
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.279
<v Speaker 2>to write the ship and to end this from happening,

118
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 2>which basically is going to end the fiat currency. And

119
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how we're going to be able to

120
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 2>survive as a nation without the fiat currency. I mean, it's.

121
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 1>We're quickly racing to the bottom. We're going to crash

122
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 1>here if these efforts of those and the president aren't successful.

123
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, my mom will make this comment from

124
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.160
<v Speaker 2>time to time. God bless you, Mom. You know, I

125
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>love you to death. Eighty five years old, and she's like,

126
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>basically of the mindset, and so many people are, well,

127
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>it looks like that's something bad's gonna happen, but least

128
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 2>I won't be around when it does. Is that kind

129
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 2>of the mindset of our elected officials. I mean, somebody

130
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>like Nancy Pelosi's about one hundred and sixty five years

131
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>old anyway, or Mitch McConnell, they're gonna die before it

132
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>hits the fans. So they don't have any feel feeling

133
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 2>like they have any obligation to do anything to write

134
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the ship.

135
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

136
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, these some of these members who are senior, like

137
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi, they just can't give up power.

138
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.439
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's what that's what it's all about. These

139
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>these elected officials want to retain their their power.

140
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Is that's like a DSM five diagnosable illness.

141
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I would agree with you.

142
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're eighty five years old now. Not to

143
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 2>use my mom's age, I don't know how old Mitch

144
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.319
<v Speaker 2>McConnell is, but you know, let's face, he's old.

145
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 1>He's close.

146
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think with the millions and millions of millions

147
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>of dollars in value that you are worth literally sitting

148
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.639
<v Speaker 2>on cash, sitting on home property, you got it all made.

149
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>You only have a few more years in the normal lifespan.

150
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you just drop it and go and enjoy yourself,

153
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of sad, isn't It's it's pathetically sad. It's embarrassing.

<v Speaker 1>Well, the voters have something to do with that also.

155

156
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>loud when we have to, you know, sort of look

157
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.680
<v Speaker 2>at the mirror and ourselves and decide. Wait a minute, jeez,

158
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 2>that's right. I did vote to keep that guy in office,

159
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>right right. Paint a pretty dreary picture here this morning,

160
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.159

<v Speaker 2>to local crazy, moving away from federal level. You kind

226
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>of alluded to it earlier. We talked about Cincinnati doling

227
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>out money to NGOs, and you know all the organizations

228
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.080
<v Speaker 2>that are supported by that, which are the ones that

229
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.320
<v Speaker 2>screaming yell every time someone tries to fare it out. Fraud,

230
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>waste and abuse. But rising fifteen. Remind my listeners about

231
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 2>this because I seem to recall reading an article or

232
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.320
<v Speaker 2>talking about a little bit in the morning show maybe

233
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>when you were here. This is about the fifteen quote

234
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 2>unquote underserved neighborhoods within the City of Cincinnati.

235
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there are three members of city Council who have

236
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>identified fifteen neighborhoods that have been underserved. It's not clear

237
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>whether that's historically or current or both. And they entered

238
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>a motion back in October of twenty three to set

239
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>up two special funds for these neighborhoods. And remember that

240
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 1>in October of twenty three is when we were campaigning

241
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 1>for and against the sale of the railway.

242
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, uh huh.

243
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is all geared towards letting constituents know that they're

244
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.200
<v Speaker 1>going to get a piece of the railway money. So

245
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 1>this motion set up a special two special funds for

246
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>these neighborhoods. What they called a railroad fund and what

247
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 1>they called an Economic development fund. And the idea back

248
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.840
<v Speaker 1>then as it is now, is to take ten percent

249
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of the proceeds from the railway sale that the city

250
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 1>is given every year by the Railway Trust Board and

251
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 1>put it into this railroad fund and let that accumulate.

252
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:41.039
<v Speaker 1>And it also establishes a seven member advisory board that

253
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.039
<v Speaker 1>basically controls that money.

254
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 2>So we have an advisory board that controls the railroad money,

255
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 2>and they take the interest generated off the principle, ten

256
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>percent of which goes into a separate fund which is

257
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 2>managed and organized by a completely separate entity. Let me

258
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>guess who are appointed by the mayor.

259
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's.

260
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, huh so Okay, now wait, all right, let's

261
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:10.000
<v Speaker 2>follow the money here. Okay, let's just say that happens.

262
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.679
<v Speaker 2>I guess. Definitionly speaking, do we even know what underserved?

263
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Is no?

264
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 1>And that's one of the problems these fifteen neighborhoods. The

265
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 1>motion has an exhibit attached that they say is the

266
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:29.159
<v Speaker 1>demographic and socioeconomic data that they use to identify these

267
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:34.200
<v Speaker 1>fifteen neighborhoods. That exhibit wasn't attached to the motion when

268
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 1>they filed it with When they filed it with the

269
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.519
<v Speaker 1>council last week, I had to go down to the

270
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>clerk's office to get a copy of the exhibit. It's

271
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>basically one page, and the socioeconomic and demographic data includes

272
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the population of the neighborhood, the racial makeup of the neighborhood,

273
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 1>and the median income of the neighborhood. That's it. Nothing

274
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.559
<v Speaker 1>about unemployment levels, nothing about education levels, nothing about crime,

275
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 1>nothing about blight. Just race and income.

276
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>That's Todd founding his hand in emphasis about what he's

277
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.480
<v Speaker 2>talking about. I had a listener complaining to me because

278
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.519
<v Speaker 2>when I moved my boom mic, it's a little squeak

279
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 2>to it. He said, it drives me crazy. So I've

280
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.639
<v Speaker 2>been trying never to touch my mic. I just want

281
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.440
<v Speaker 2>to let him specifically know it was you being making

282
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 2>a strong point. I don't have a problem with the Todd,

283
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.879
<v Speaker 2>trust me. I just want to let listeners know that

284
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I was aware of it. But movie back, Okay, fine,

285
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>you got you've identified these neighborhoods. Let's just say and

286
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.120
<v Speaker 2>we say find that the demographic and and and identified information.

287
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.320
<v Speaker 2>And we haven't talked about the source of who gathered that.

288
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where that came from. Was it identified

289
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.759
<v Speaker 2>on the document? So we have no idea who compiled it.

290
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>How will these funds be used to transform and underserved

291
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.720
<v Speaker 2>neighborhood into a served neighborhood.

292
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's that's to be seen. This advisory group that

293
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.559
<v Speaker 1>the Emotion would set up, I guess is supposed to

294
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 1>come up with a plan for spending this money.

295
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 2>But is the argument Now, Let's let's move over to

296
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 2>the foundation for the sale of the railroad, which is

297
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.600
<v Speaker 2>to use the interest generated by the principle to work

298
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.039
<v Speaker 2>on previously existing projects.

299
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Right, and a.

300
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Previously just in project in this particular case is the

301
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.879
<v Speaker 2>mere existence of a neighborhood that they have called underserved.

302
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:33.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's hard to say, because what the what the

303
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 1>emotion also does, or what they try to do, is

304
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.759
<v Speaker 1>is swap money. In fact, yeah, the vice mayor actually

305
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 1>use that term a money swap, where oh, they're not

306
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.039
<v Speaker 1>going to use railway money, They're gonna take an equivalent

307
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>amount of the railway money out of the general General

308
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Fund and put it in it in their special railroad.

309
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Fund, demonstrating as I always like to demonstrate the fungibility

310
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.840
<v Speaker 2>of money. Oh you're not kidding and switch, We're only

311
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:02.879
<v Speaker 2>gonna use for existing infrastructure. So it's okay to sell

312
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 2>the railroad. It'll free up all these funds. We can

313
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 2>get some projects done, okay, and then that will free

314
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.240
<v Speaker 2>up money that should have come from the general General

315
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Fund and allow it to be used for other brand

316
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.079
<v Speaker 2>new stuff and things.

317
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Right well, we said, after the sale was approved by

318
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.039
<v Speaker 1>the voters, we made several recommendations on how to strengthen oversight,

319
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and one of them was to establish a floor, a

320
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 1>spending floor that you're going to spend X number of

321
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.200
<v Speaker 1>dollars on infrastructure, and then whatever comes in from the

322
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:36.599
<v Speaker 1>railway goes on top of that. That's how we're going

323
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to be spending more on infrastructure. Instead, they want to

324
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.079
<v Speaker 1>take the existing level of funding, take that away from

325
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure and use it for all these other things, new

326
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.559
<v Speaker 1>stuff and things, not even infrastructure things.

327
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I know, yeah, you know, and everybody knows which road

328
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.680
<v Speaker 2>is floating around the back of my mind. Sunset, which

329
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 2>is still like this landmark looks like a war zone

330
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:01.119
<v Speaker 2>from Ukraine or Gaza Strip.

331
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I went down there yesterday, Brian.

332
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 2>It's even more so, I know, listen, that's why it's

333
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>my favorite illustration.

334
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 1>It's got a lot of potholes.

335
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the way I take when I go over to

336
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 2>like Price sal Chili for listener lunch, or you know,

337
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 2>maybe Chandlers over on the west side, and it's like God,

338
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.480
<v Speaker 2>bless it, I should come up with an alternative route

339
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 2>because again it looks like something out of Gaza. Sticking

340
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 2>around more with former Inspector General Todd Zenzer, I think

341
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 2>we have some more things to unpack on this too,

342
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:28.160
<v Speaker 2>so we'll continue. It's seven twenty six right now. I

343
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.680
<v Speaker 2>fifty five cares to the talk station and I think,

344
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to put words in the mouths

345
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.480
<v Speaker 2>of Peter Shabria Colorwiams and his team the outstanding real

346
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:39.480
<v Speaker 2>estate team, but that that revelation from Dave Haddy this

347
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:42.480
<v Speaker 2>morning about the real estate scam, I'm thinking these well

348
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>oiled machine folks at Peter Shabia Kelorwiams seven Hills, is

349
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.920
<v Speaker 2>that outstanding team of real estate agents probably be going

350
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:50.720
<v Speaker 2>to keep you out of that kind of trouble because

351
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 2>they know how the process works and the work hand

352
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>in hand with you to get your home sold or

353
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.200
<v Speaker 2>to act as your buyer's agent. And Peter Shabrina's team

354
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Kelorwilliams seven Hills know it's really a competitive market out there.

355
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:03.279
<v Speaker 2>They want to ensure that you can land your dream home. Now,

356
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.160
<v Speaker 2>here's one of the programs that they offer that nobody

357
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:09.440

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Seven fifty five KRCIT the talk station. Brian Thomas with

400
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.480
<v Speaker 2>former Inspector General Todd Zenzer in studio. We're trying to

401
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.599
<v Speaker 2>unpack this rising fifteen and uh Shenanigan's declaration, at least

402
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.519
<v Speaker 2>from my perspective, certainly, just Trekker's perspective. All right, Todd,

403
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.440
<v Speaker 2>real quick, care, let's sum it up. They take ten

404
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.720
<v Speaker 2>percent of the U of the interest earned off the

405
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.559
<v Speaker 2>railroad investment they put into a separate account. They have

406
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.559
<v Speaker 2>a new independent seven member board that is going to

407
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:37.160
<v Speaker 2>allocate that money. And really big question mark how long

408
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:38.880
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be in that fund. I guess it's

409
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 2>an annual expenditure of ten percent. Every year, ten percent

410
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:43.880
<v Speaker 2>of the railroad money goes into this fund.

411
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:45.119
<v Speaker 1>That's my understanding.

412
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, And whoever these members are, we don't know. They're

413
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:54.599
<v Speaker 2>not elected officials, are they They're huh, Well, let's just

414
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:57.680
<v Speaker 2>scream that out loud over and over again. So seven

415
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>unelected officials are going to have complete control and say

416
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.759
<v Speaker 2>over how this money gets allocated or spent on any

417
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 2>given project in these fifteen quote unquote underserved communities.

418
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, technically they're going to make a recommendation to council.

419
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 1>But if the council sets up this advisory board to

420
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.319
<v Speaker 1>tell them, you know, how to robber sent exactly.

421
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Now, you were in council on a Wednesday speaking on

422
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.880
<v Speaker 2>an opposition against this. Yes, I was what arguments did

423
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:25.559
<v Speaker 2>you make to them and how were your arguments received?

424
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, the thing about claiming your two minutes to the

425
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.480
<v Speaker 1>City Council is they don't respond to you.

426
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.519
<v Speaker 2>They really sit there and play on their phones.

427
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so I made four points and then I asked

428
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.799
<v Speaker 1>that they withdraw the motion. The first one I said

429
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:43.599
<v Speaker 1>is that this thing is drenched in politics. It came

430
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.920
<v Speaker 1>about during the campaign regarding the railway sale. It was

431
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I said, it was political. Then it was drenched in politics.

432
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Now WCPO referred to it as reparations. Yes they did.

433
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean that was in their reporting on it.

434
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:01.119
<v Speaker 1>That was back in October twenty three. Yes, us, and

435
00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:03.319
<v Speaker 1>if you read if you read the motion, you'll get

436
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:04.799
<v Speaker 1>an understanding of why they said that.

437
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, did your I mean, I know you

438
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 2>see your comments are ignored like most people, but generally speaking,

439
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is there concern among council members about going

440
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:17.440
<v Speaker 2>forward and moving forward with this, about the the repercussions

441
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.160
<v Speaker 2>that they might get.

442
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, I did send an email to the mayor and

443
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the council members and the city manager with these points,

444
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.279
<v Speaker 1>and I got one response from a council member, Jeffries,

445
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:34.319
<v Speaker 1>and he pretty much agrees with us with with my concerns.

446
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.480
<v Speaker 1>So that was one member that I got some feedback from,

447
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.400
<v Speaker 1>But I haven't heard anything from any of the other members.

448
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:47.279
<v Speaker 2>What of the railroad Board don't they have say over this?

449
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, that is a great that is a great question,

450
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Brian and I. Actually the railway Board met this past

451
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>week also, They met on Tuesday afternoon, and I went

452
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>there to make a couple of points about a different issue.

453
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>You and I thought the meeting was encouraging. I didn't.

454
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:08.279
<v Speaker 1>They are putting up a new website where they are

455
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.519
<v Speaker 1>going to require information from the city about what projects

456
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.480
<v Speaker 1>are underway, how much money is being used, and what

457
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.319
<v Speaker 1>the status of those projects are. That's news to me

458
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.839
<v Speaker 1>because during the campaign I got the impression that they

459
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 1>really weren't going to be too involved in how the

460
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:28.240
<v Speaker 1>money was spent. So from my perspective anyway, that was

461
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a positive development.

462
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, that's the kind of transparency we deserve. Absolutely, if

463
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>you want to know where the money's being spent, they

464
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 2>will let you know. It's right there on the site.

465
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I think that's an absolutely fabulous idea, and I'm actually

466
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.559
<v Speaker 2>shocked that it's happening.

467
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I was very encouraged by it.

468
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:47.160
<v Speaker 2>They have a fiduciary obligation to monitor those dollars.

469
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:51.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's my argument. I mean, I used the story

470
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 1>about when I was at the Transportation Inspector General's office,

471
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 1>we had the Federal Transit Administration under our purview, and

472
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 1>my boss used to call them a religious organization because

473
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:05.359
<v Speaker 1>they would throw billions of dollars out the door and

474
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 1>just pray that it was properly used. That's not the

475
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.799
<v Speaker 1>way to go. If you're giving money out, you did

476
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 1>you make sure that it is used for the purpose

477
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:15.240
<v Speaker 1>that you that you dispersed it.

478
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.400
<v Speaker 2>So, going back to our conversation at the outset of

479
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.440
<v Speaker 2>the program, literally every government government entity is doing this

480
00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:22.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of thing, Yes, throwing money out the door and

481
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>never paying attention to see what it's done out in

482
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:28.559
<v Speaker 2>the world, how much people are making off of the allocation,

483
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:34.119
<v Speaker 2>who is benefiting from it, or more fundamentally, if that

484
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.599
<v Speaker 2>allocation if deemed Appropriate's why the money went out the door.

485
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Actually does anything.

486
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Right well, some agencies that give out money grant make

487
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.000
<v Speaker 1>grants and things like that. Some do a better job

488
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>at overseeing what happens than others, but they got a

489
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:49.680
<v Speaker 1>long way to go.

490
00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, Brent Toddsen's er back, He's in studio for the

491
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.799
<v Speaker 2>full hour. This is just very informative Todd, and I

492
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:57.559
<v Speaker 2>can't thank you enough for you know, for showing up

493
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:01.240

494
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 2>providing your useful insight and giving them i think a

495
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.559
<v Speaker 2>more informed opinion about the legality of this, how it's

496
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:13.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna work, and bringing to their attention that this could

497
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:17.759
<v Speaker 2>be a source of uh maybe fraud wasted abuse. Seven

503
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Been going there for years and years. Doctor Fred Pack

504
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:37.200

505
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:40.160

<v Speaker 2>passionate about dentistry generally speaking, and doctor Meghan Frew equally

507
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.000

<v Speaker 2>manner of any dentist out there. So if you one

512
00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I love you man. But as far as

513

546
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Since Todd Zinzers and Studio Form Inspector General telling us

547
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 2>all about this rising fifteen and it is a motion,

548
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:53.240
<v Speaker 2>it has not been passed yet, correct, That's correct, all right,

549
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not going to restate what the parameters are

550
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:58.160
<v Speaker 2>for this. Bottom line is railroad money going into a

551
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:03.079
<v Speaker 2>separate fund to be allocated among fifteen communities. Now, I

552
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.079
<v Speaker 2>know you've done a couple of podcasts on this on YouTube.

553
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.200
<v Speaker 2>You have a YouTube channel which is called citizens Watch

554
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Citizen Watchdog with Todd Zenzer. Yes, and you've done two

555
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.200
<v Speaker 2>full programs on this alone.

556
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

557
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Now, obviously you filled up a lot of time on

558
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 2>your your program on YouTube again, Citizen Watchdog with Todd Zenzer.

559
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.960
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned to me off air something that has passed,

560
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:36.559
<v Speaker 2>which is the City in City on Track Plan, the

561
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:39.079
<v Speaker 2>City on Track Plan. Now doesn't that already deal with

562
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:40.759
<v Speaker 2>the allocation of railroad fund money.

563
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that was the whole point of the plan.

564
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:46.880
<v Speaker 2>So this would interfere with a previously passed proposal for

565
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 2>spending the money.

566
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I think it really confuses things. Remember that the

567
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:57.240
<v Speaker 1>campaign to sell the railway started with this idea that

568
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:01.079
<v Speaker 1>there's four hundred million dollars of deferred mateents that the

569
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:04.039
<v Speaker 1>city is grappling with, and the plan was to sell

570
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the railway and start attacking that deferred maintenance. So they

571
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:11.400
<v Speaker 1>came up with a City on Track plan, and it

572
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 1>broke it down into different areas parks and recreation, roads

573
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:19.319
<v Speaker 1>and bridges, you know, et cetera, and then it distributed

574
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:25.839
<v Speaker 1>those funds across those subjects and across the neighborhoods where

575
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:29.119
<v Speaker 1>deferred maintenance has been identified. I don't know why they

576
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:33.359
<v Speaker 1>just don't look at that plan and see what projects

577
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.319
<v Speaker 1>exist within those fifteen neighborhoods and make those a priority.

578
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 2>I think I suspect the reason why. It's because fixing

579
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>a road in a neighborhood, or fixing an existing piece

580
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.720
<v Speaker 2>of infrastructure that they own and therefore have an obligation

581
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:55.079
<v Speaker 2>to maintain, does not change anything. On that slip that

582
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:59.400
<v Speaker 2>was not posted with this recent motion, you identifying neighborhoods

583
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:02.799
<v Speaker 2>with income disparities. That's right, because a fixed road does

584
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:04.599
<v Speaker 2>not change the income disparity.

585
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Right. What I liked working for the Transportation Department is

586
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:13.079
<v Speaker 1>that roads and bridges and infrastructure should not be political.

587
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:18.000
<v Speaker 1>It's all they own. It's all about public safety and

588
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.759
<v Speaker 1>economic development and things like that. That's why you need infrastructure.

589
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:24.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, and I also retract part of my conclusion on

590
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:25.920
<v Speaker 2>that because maybe I pin with a bit of a

591
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.160
<v Speaker 2>broad brush because these so broken windows that you know,

592
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:31.039
<v Speaker 2>if you have a neighborhood a bunch of broken windows,

593
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 2>people think it's all My god, is a terrible neighborhood,

594
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 2>and they don't want to invest in it. They don't want

595
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 2>to move into it. Fix the windows, fix the streets,

596
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>fix the roads, and it may inject much needed capital,

597
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 2>jobs and possibilities for people that are there.

598
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

599
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, the people in a neighborhood support the whole broken

600
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.359
<v Speaker 1>windows thing, at least in many of the neighborhoods. Yeah,

601
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:50.559
<v Speaker 1>I would say, And why wouldn't you? Absolutely?

602
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:53.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if it reduces crime and statistically it's proven

603
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.359
<v Speaker 2>to do that, then yes, embrace it. It's like I

604
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.599
<v Speaker 2>want police in my neighborhood because it is. Uh, well,

605
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.680

621
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:55.880
<v Speaker 2>way to go Authorized carrier dealers. They can service any

622
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.279
<v Speaker 2>any model and make you've got, and it's so much

623
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 2>more than just carrier. They sert like A said, they

624
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 2>service every every model and make, but you know they

625
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:06.960
<v Speaker 2>have geothermal and they've got it's the space pack kind

626
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.440

627
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:11.960

693
00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:27.599
<v Speaker 2>back to what else anything else we need to know

694
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:29.920
<v Speaker 2>by way of exclamation points on all the reasons why

695
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:35.079
<v Speaker 2>this rising fifteen sounds so unbelievably right for corruption? If

696
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I can just boil it down to that conclusion.

697
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the this motion was put forward on the on

698
00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:45.159
<v Speaker 1>February five at the February fifth meeting, and during that meeting,

699
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the Vice Mayor said the quiet part out loud. She

700
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:55.159
<v Speaker 1>told the council we promised this during the campaign. Well,

701
00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:59.039
<v Speaker 1>she may have promised it to certain constituencies, but that

702
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:01.599
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the promise that all the voters received. All the

703
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.719
<v Speaker 1>promise that we received is that this money would be

704
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:08.719
<v Speaker 1>spent on existing infrastructure to attack the four hundred million

705
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:10.360
<v Speaker 1>dollars worth of deferred maintenance.

706
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:15.159
<v Speaker 2>You don't know to whom this promise was made. It

707
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:18.760
<v Speaker 2>was not a campaign out on the road campaign out

708
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:21.960
<v Speaker 2>loud pledge that maybe Sharon Coolidge from the inquire could

709
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:25.039
<v Speaker 2>have reported on or something like that. Well, yes, does

710
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:28.639
<v Speaker 2>this sounds suspiciously like PG Sittenfeld, if you elect me,

711
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.199
<v Speaker 2>or you give funds to me for my campaign, then

712
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:37.079
<v Speaker 2>I will give you this this, this Rising fifteen program.

713
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:37.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

714
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, I would think that she made the promise to

715
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the movers and shakers and those fifteen neighborhoods. But I

716
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:48.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's probably narrowed down to even fewer neighborhoods in

717
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:52.559
<v Speaker 1>the fifteen that they were making promises to. But we

718
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.239
<v Speaker 1>don't really know exactly who, huh, But I think there

719
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:00.239
<v Speaker 1>were individuals that were made promise.

720
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:03.559
<v Speaker 2>Like you'll be on the board if you if we

721
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>get this through, if you get me elected, we established

722
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:09.679
<v Speaker 2>this Rising fifteen program, we're gonna let you control the money.

723
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, along those promises, along those lines.

724
00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, maybe someone in law enforcement could look into that,

725
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.360
<v Speaker 2>because again I'm just thinking of PG sitting Feld, who

726
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.360
<v Speaker 2>recently was in the news since you lost this appeal.

727
00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:27.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, on PG. The thing that I've always wondered

728
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 1>is why were they doing business in a hotel room.

729
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a red flag.

730
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:33.960
<v Speaker 1>That's absolutely a red flag.

731
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:38.199
<v Speaker 2>So host people, if your quote unquote doctor is scheduling

732
00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:40.159
<v Speaker 2>surgery at a motel six, then you've got a real

733
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.599
<v Speaker 2>problem on your hands for that plastic surgery that you want. Yeah, Todd,

734
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:48.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure how to unpackage this any further than

735
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 2>we have unless there's other details that you want to

736
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:52.079
<v Speaker 2>just put exclamation points on the subject matter.

737
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, again, I think people need to understand what the

738
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:01.639
<v Speaker 1>statuses of these funds. The trust fund has actually grown

739
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:03.679
<v Speaker 1>by almost one hundred million dollars.

740
00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, the market's been doing really well. Yes, if it

741
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.039
<v Speaker 2>hadn't grown by that much, then you have to worry

742
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:09.079
<v Speaker 2>about being mismanaged.

743
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:11.159
<v Speaker 1>Right, So yeah, it's not that great of a return.

744
00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:13.639
<v Speaker 1>It's like five point five or something percent.

745
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:16.440
<v Speaker 2>So it's consistent with like S and P five hundred

746
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:16.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of growth.

747
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And in September of twenty four, this is the

748
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:24.280
<v Speaker 1>way the law is written. For some reason, the Trust

749
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Fund Board decided to spend or send fifty six million

750
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.880
<v Speaker 1>dollars to the city. But they get that on July

751
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the first, and they get it in four tranches July

752
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:42.679
<v Speaker 1>every quarter. So my argument to the board was that

753
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:46.519
<v Speaker 1>I hope they gauged the city's ability to spend that money,

754
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:49.800
<v Speaker 1>so that if you give them twenty five percent of

755
00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that on July one, you need to find out on

756
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:56.840
<v Speaker 1>October one, whether they've even used it, whether they've spent it,

757
00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:59.480
<v Speaker 1>because if they're not spending it, the trust fund should

758
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.480
<v Speaker 1>keep it and let it earn more money.

759
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Amen.

760
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:06.840
<v Speaker 1>So, like I said at the meeting at the Railway

761
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Trust Board, I was encouraged. I think I don't think

762
00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:13.599
<v Speaker 1>we're that far apart in terms of considering that.

763
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, if someone can ray if there is some legal

764
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 2>objection to this, you know, it's not consistent with the

765
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:24.239
<v Speaker 2>nature of the fund, the purpose of the fund. It

766
00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:26.519
<v Speaker 2>would be a violation of our produciary duties to let

767
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:28.719
<v Speaker 2>ten percent of this money come out and go really

768
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:32.920
<v Speaker 2>anywhere other than existing infrastructure. They the board would be

769
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:34.800
<v Speaker 2>the ones to raise that type of challenge if it

770
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:35.400
<v Speaker 2>could be raised.

771
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, I wish they would, but it's really not clear

772
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:42.000
<v Speaker 1>how directly involved they're going to get like that. I

773
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:44.000
<v Speaker 1>think they're just want to turn on and off to

774
00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:47.880
<v Speaker 1>spicett of money and then disclose to the public of

775
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:49.840
<v Speaker 1>what's happening with that money. I think they're going to

776
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:51.840
<v Speaker 1>leave it up to other parties to really well.

777
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I would think that they have a larger role than

778
00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:55.280
<v Speaker 2>that in this entire equation.

779
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Todd would I would love that I recommended that they

780
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:03.599
<v Speaker 1>appoint a compliance officer that looks at the board's compliance

781
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:07.119
<v Speaker 1>as well as the city's compliance with the law. I

782
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:11.000
<v Speaker 1>recommend that back in November of twenty three. I don't

783
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:12.679
<v Speaker 1>think they're going to go that far, but that's what

784
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:13.159
<v Speaker 1>I would do.

785
00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:16.320
<v Speaker 2>I nominate former Inspector General Todd Senser for that position.

786
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Anybody out there want to second that motion. Todd, thank

787
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:22.440
<v Speaker 2>you so much for coming in studio. Had no idea

788
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.840
<v Speaker 2>about this or the details of it. And you're the

789
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:26.519
<v Speaker 2>one that's got the era, like I said, hand on

790
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.360
<v Speaker 2>the pulse of what's going on in the city of Cincinnati.

791
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:29.840
<v Speaker 2>And I can't thank you enough. And I know the

792
00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:32.760
<v Speaker 2>listeners appreciate what you're doing, and certainly I would like

793
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:34.760
<v Speaker 2>to think the residents of the City of Cincinnati do

794
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.159
<v Speaker 2>as well. We'll have you on back again real soon.

795
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Todd seven to fifty five come up with some fifty

796
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:42.440
<v Speaker 2>six George Brunhman from Restore Liberty dot Us. We're going

797
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:46.079
<v Speaker 2>to talk with him about health restore Wellness. That's his initiative.

798
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:48.079
<v Speaker 2>He's got going on now. Perfect timing for that. They'd

799
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:49.559
<v Speaker 2>have an event he wants to tell you about coming

800
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:51.239
<v Speaker 2>up on the twenty six as well, so stick around

801
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:54.079
<v Speaker 2>and be right back after the news covering Trump's first

802
