Speaker 1: If I stand up for something, I'm not gonna hide
Speaker 1: find the talk about it.
Speaker 2: It's all programmed to create chaos. Fifty five KRZ.
Speaker 1: Eight O five If you're a fifty five KRC decalk
Speaker 1: station halfy Monday, Baron Thomas looking across the table here
Speaker 1: in studio. Check him out online. Adam kal Or eighty
Speaker 1: A M k O E h L e R dot com.
Speaker 1: He's running for Hamlin County Commissioner. Good to have you
Speaker 1: back in studio, Adam to it's a pleasure helpe you
Speaker 1: on a nice weekend.
Speaker 3: Oh always, well, the bang was won last night, so
Speaker 3: that'd be it made better.
Speaker 1: I had to wake up to find the news on
Speaker 1: that one. I was happy to get the news, but
Speaker 1: didn't stay up for it. But uh, well we'll take
Speaker 1: one right.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: Anyhow, Hey, how about that new stadium. Anyway, I was
Speaker 1: talking to Adam on the break and just because we've
Speaker 1: got to start with something. He's running for a county commissioner.
Speaker 1: Of course, the stadium deal is going to be one
Speaker 1: of the top items for whatever makeup we have on
Speaker 1: for county commissioners. When the Tropicanas Stadium was hit by
Speaker 1: the Hurricane and the wind blew the hop off. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you saw pictures of that down in Florida Tampa.
Speaker 1: In the reporting, I read they were going to be
Speaker 1: building or they are building a new stadium for the
Speaker 1: Rays that was supposed to open or is supposed to
Speaker 1: open in twenty twenty eight. I don't know if things
Speaker 1: get advanced or they changed their plans, but as reported anyway,
Speaker 1: one point three billion dollars to build an entire brand
Speaker 1: new stadium. And I looked at that at wait a second,
Speaker 1: the pay Corpse Stadium, you know, Paul Brown Stadium, Bengals Stadium,
Speaker 1: the the upgrades they want come in at one point
Speaker 1: two billion dollars. So you can get a brand new
Speaker 1: stadium for the baseball team in Tampa and you get
Speaker 1: basically for the same amount of money some upgrades.
Speaker 3: Well, and I mean what you're saying is that that
Speaker 3: quoted figure you know that's going up. You figure, when
Speaker 3: have you known that? When have you ever heard about
Speaker 3: a construction project being on budget, right and on time, especially.
Speaker 1: In these trying times with construction material.
Speaker 3: Shortages relation, I mean, it's going to take a while
Speaker 3: to get that under shortages. Yeah, yeah, Well, and I
Speaker 3: mean even if Trump gets elected. I mean, you hope
Speaker 3: he writes the ship. But he's talking about tariffs, so
Speaker 3: you know they're gonna be increased costs. Yep, You're gonna
Speaker 3: have some pain before things get better. There's no way
Speaker 3: you can you can right this ship this quickly. It's
Speaker 3: good that there's gonna be some issues. There's gonna be
Speaker 3: some things coming up. He's got to put some things
Speaker 3: in place in order to, you know, put pressure on
Speaker 3: foreign governments. And you're gonna be in the middle of
Speaker 3: building a stadium possibly while that's while that's happening. So
Speaker 3: but you're right, I mean, it's crazy. You've got some
Speaker 3: of these places that are like, hey, look we're gonna
Speaker 3: build a brand new stadium and we're gonna significantly increase
Speaker 3: the fan experience. And then you've got Cincinnati in Hamilton
Speaker 3: County that's hey, let's do some upgrades for one point
Speaker 3: three Let's move Marin Way. Let's yeah, move an entire road. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was moving entire roads so we can have more
Speaker 3: park space or whatever. It's just like just put a
Speaker 3: dome stadium on there or something.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, don't don't say that, because then they
Speaker 1: might take that ball and run with it, and it'll
Speaker 1: be a two trillion dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's gonna be Yeah, it'd be two plus
Speaker 3: for us Dome state.
Speaker 1: And I'm not familiar with what the NFL as an
Speaker 1: organization does. By way of participating, you're contributing to these upgrades,
Speaker 1: but you set off the air that in order to
Speaker 1: get any money from the FL NFL for these types
Speaker 1: of upgrades, it has to improve the fan experience. Is
Speaker 1: that like written somewhere, it.
Speaker 3: Has to significantly improve the fan experience for them to
Speaker 3: give you any money.
Speaker 1: So new office buildings and a new practice field that's
Speaker 1: going to improve the fan experience in what way, shape
Speaker 1: or form?
Speaker 3: That won't, But moving Maring Way probably won't. Adding a
Speaker 3: little green space down there probably won't. Building a new
Speaker 3: stadium wood stop it, stop it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there.
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of things that people don't know
Speaker 3: about the NFL and how this whole process works, and
Speaker 3: you barely hear about it from the commissioners.
Speaker 2: And it's crazy to me.
Speaker 3: Somebody asked me the other day, They said, well, you know,
Speaker 3: the commissioners think that you know, they've given this enough time.
Speaker 3: And so I said they've twenty five years to think
Speaker 3: of this to come up with something, right.
Speaker 2: It's not like it just happened, right.
Speaker 1: It's been twenty five years living with the worst negotiated
Speaker 1: stangle stadium build agreement in the foot in football.
Speaker 2: History, absolute worst.
Speaker 3: Mike Brown got such a good deal on NAT he'said
Speaker 3: twenty five years to enjoy the fruits of that deal
Speaker 3: that he got. But now it's time to get back
Speaker 3: to Hamil County and get back to the tax payers.
Speaker 3: And you would think he would come to the table
Speaker 3: realizing how good of a deal he got last time
Speaker 3: and wanted to negotiate. But here's the thing too, Brian.
Speaker 3: People don't think about it. So the one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty five million dollars he got, it's called G five money.
Speaker 3: He gets that from the NFL, so it is essentially
Speaker 3: a loan on future revenues. So the one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty five million that he put towards the upgrades, it
Speaker 3: didn't really come out of his pocket necessarily. It was
Speaker 3: kind of like money he was going to make anyway.
Speaker 3: And it's like a loan from the NFL. So it's
Speaker 3: called G five money. That's money the NFL gave him. Now,
Speaker 3: the chance is that the Hamilton County commissioners go to
Speaker 3: the NFL and say, hey, we're poor, feel sorry for us,
Speaker 3: give us money, slim chance with with a stadium upgrade
Speaker 3: because of that. I don't even know how you would
Speaker 3: quantify what is a significant upgrade to the fan experience.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it usually doesn't apply to upgrades. It usually applies
Speaker 3: to the new stadium.
Speaker 1: Significant increase in the fan experience for me has been
Speaker 1: the realization that it's a hell of a lot more fun, convenient,
Speaker 1: and less expensive to enjoy the football game in my home.
Speaker 2: That's everybody right, Well, and that's the thing too.
Speaker 3: So you're using that stadium primarily for eight nine games
Speaker 3: a year, I know, there's nothing else.
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to spend.
Speaker 3: One point three billion dollars on upgrades, right, I mean,
Speaker 3: and keep the same deal in place. I think Mike
Speaker 3: Brown can renew this lease essentially for another ten years
Speaker 3: the lease he has in place now, that's with the
Speaker 3: terms that he has now for the next ten years.
Speaker 3: Every two years he can renew it for five times.
Speaker 2: He could do that.
Speaker 3: So all the deal, that deal from back in the
Speaker 3: day was so terrible he could just keep it renewing that.
Speaker 1: So what you know, as commissioner, what would you do?
Speaker 1: I guess one of the things my immediate reaction is
Speaker 1: when I saw the proposal for the so called fan
Speaker 1: experience improvements is well under the and I've never read
Speaker 1: that contract. I've just read pieces of it, and it's
Speaker 1: been so widely reported about how bad it is. And
Speaker 1: I understand all that, but that the obligations under the
Speaker 1: lease agreement for the Hamilton County taxpayers are for improvements
Speaker 1: to the stadium. That is not building a brand new,
Speaker 1: free standing office complex next to the stadium. So that
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million plus dollars, that's the largest chunk
Speaker 1: of the what they are asking for doesn't have anything
Speaker 1: to do with the stadium itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not that that doesn't sound like that's very fan
Speaker 3: experience to me.
Speaker 2: No offices.
Speaker 1: I doubt fans will even set foot in the office
Speaker 1: at any given time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in that stadium, I mean you remember hearing years back.
Speaker 3: I mean that there were things falling apart. There was
Speaker 3: you know, concrete chipped and all this other stuff that
Speaker 3: they claimed that was happening to the stadium. So I mean,
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, Brian like, we have
Speaker 3: to get smarter about how we interact with the Bengals.
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got players down there, and you've got
Speaker 3: Mike Brown and the Bengals themselves that they all have
Speaker 3: their own little charities. Right there's money that the county
Speaker 3: spends right now on social services that could potentially be
Speaker 3: offset by some of these charitable things that the players
Speaker 3: and the Bengals themselves are doing. That takes some of
Speaker 3: the pressure. If we're gonna spend money, you're already spending
Speaker 3: money on these social services, you're spending money on the Bengals. Hey,
Speaker 3: if we're gonna do something with the Bengals, could we
Speaker 3: work better with the Bengals to get some of that
Speaker 3: money to help offset and alleviate some of the money
Speaker 3: that taxpayers are already spending on some of these social
Speaker 3: services by leveraging the charitable good that the Bengals themselves
Speaker 3: and the players are doing. I mean there's things like
Speaker 3: that that people don't even think about that we could
Speaker 3: be doing. I mean, there's we're never going to be
Speaker 3: able Togo stoot with Mike Brown. We have no leverage
Speaker 3: unless there's another buyer, because the art Modell rule kicks
Speaker 3: in if there's enough buyer. And I don't know how
Speaker 3: if everybody listened, and I don't know if you know how,
Speaker 3: this art Modell rule thing kicks in. But Mike Brown
Speaker 3: essentially can't move the team if there's another qualified buyer.
Speaker 3: It makes it much harder for him to move. And
Speaker 3: I've heard through my various sources that Mike Brown would
Speaker 3: be happy moving to Mexico City, right and if he
Speaker 3: doesn't get his way, essentially is what I'm hearing. So
Speaker 3: you have no leverage as Hamilton County, as voters, we
Speaker 3: have no leverage unless there's another qualified buyer. Well, how
Speaker 3: many billionaires are floating around Cincinnati that can afford to
Speaker 3: buy a team? And the NFL only wants one person.
Speaker 3: They want one buyer of the team that they can
Speaker 3: deal with. They don't want a group of multimillionaires to
Speaker 3: go in and buy it because they need someone at
Speaker 3: the head.
Speaker 2: Right, that's the rule right now.
Speaker 3: But has anybody ever thought, let's go to the NFL
Speaker 3: and talk to them, because not every city's New York.
Speaker 3: In LA, it's getting more and more expensive for cities
Speaker 3: like Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, even Chicago to have an NFL
Speaker 3: team and deal with these stadium issues and all this
Speaker 3: everyoney once in a while. They have a rule in
Speaker 3: place that they want one person to be able to
Speaker 3: go to. But nobody's ever thought about potentially doing something
Speaker 3: like a crowdfund where we can get the fans to
Speaker 3: own the stadium. Now they're owned the team, like Green Bay,
Speaker 3: but teams can't do it now because of this new
Speaker 3: rule that the NFL put in place. But the way
Speaker 3: around that potentially could be you do something like it,
Speaker 3: and I'm going to go over some people's heads here.
Speaker 3: Essentially tokenize the ownership. You put it into an SPV,
Speaker 3: a special purpose vehicle like a trust. That trust has
Speaker 3: a board and they have a president. So now even
Speaker 3: though you've crowdfunded the team, right and you've opened that
Speaker 3: up to fans to be able to purchase the team,
Speaker 3: you still have someone in place that the NFL can
Speaker 3: go to. So the idea is is, look, NFL, it's
Speaker 3: getting much harder for people to own this. We only
Speaker 3: have one billionaire in town, and maybe there's a couple
Speaker 3: other billionaires, but they already own a sports team. So
Speaker 3: how any other billionaire are going to step in and
Speaker 3: want to buy this team from Mike Brown. There could
Speaker 3: be somebody out there, but they're probably not going to
Speaker 3: be local to Cincinnati. If we, as local people want
Speaker 3: to keep that team here, that's really the only other way,
Speaker 3: that's the only way you're going to ever get leverage
Speaker 3: from Mike Brown, is if we have an offer on
Speaker 3: the table to purchase the team.
Speaker 1: Organizing that effort could be quite a challenge, and I
Speaker 1: suspect the NFL would do anything and its power to
Speaker 1: prevent that from happening as well.
Speaker 3: Possibly, but you got to talk to them, well, I mean,
Speaker 3: they're not going to give us a you know, half
Speaker 3: billion dollars either.
Speaker 1: And as we stand right now, because I haven't seen
Speaker 1: any reporting on what the current commissioners are doing relating
Speaker 1: to the stadium deal, the negotiations, the improvements, the obligations,
Speaker 1: or you know, preparing a brand new lease agreement when
Speaker 1: this one ultimately expires, which it's going to. So nothing,
Speaker 1: So we don't know if there's been any outreach, nothing
Speaker 1: to report on that. We don't know what the NFL
Speaker 1: has said, if anybody's talked to the NFL. We are
Speaker 1: in the dark. And that's one of the more frustrating
Speaker 1: things about this election. We just really have little handle
Speaker 1: on what the commissioners are doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only thing I've heard of, and I've been
Speaker 3: in some forums recently with the other commissioners, and Alisia
Speaker 3: Reese is talking to the NFL about getting us some money.
Speaker 3: So there's no progress necessary except for political talk.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, at least she's got to yeah something apparently.
Speaker 1: We'll give her a little credit for that. Age sixteen
Speaker 1: will continue with Adam Kaylor. Find him on line Adam
Speaker 1: Taylor Koehl e R dot com, learn about the issues

Speaker 1: you've got, because you may need it, you may not.
Speaker 1: They'll be honest with you about that. If you have

Speaker 1: Talk station Brian Thomas Adam Kler running for Hamilton County Commissioner.
Speaker 1: Excellent man, he is. I can't encourage you enough to
Speaker 1: head on over to Adam Kayler dot com and check
Speaker 1: his background out where he is on the issues, and
Speaker 1: of course the issues transcend. You know, the commissioner's race
Speaker 1: course stadium deal one of the bigger ones. But we've
Speaker 1: got some really important issues in Ohio. And as you
Speaker 1: were telling me, the polling shows Donald Trump on you
Speaker 1: gov is now eight points ahead.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep of Harris Harris. At this point. Last in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, it was zero right, they were too good,
Speaker 3: had him dead tide dead tide. Trump ended up winning
Speaker 3: by eight in Ohio.
Speaker 1: So your point is, if they use the same methodology,
Speaker 1: then Trump could be as high as sixteen points ahead.
Speaker 3: That's right, and most pollsters have trouble with rural Americans.
Speaker 3: So getting out in you know, Lime, Ohio and the
Speaker 3: places like that to start, you know, polling people and
Speaker 3: Republicans don't really to poles the same way Democrats do.
Speaker 3: So if you look at the methodology of these polls,
Speaker 3: a lot of times they oversample Democrats, and they oversample
Speaker 3: left leaning independence.
Speaker 1: Well, and let us not overlook the reality that there
Speaker 1: are so many people who won't even admit that they're
Speaker 1: going to be voting for Trump. They demonized them so
Speaker 1: thoroughly that to even utter the words I'm voting for Trump,
Speaker 1: you know, invokes the ire of so many people outside.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what, I'm not even going to
Speaker 1: play this game. I'm going to do what I want,
Speaker 1: shut up, get away from my face, or lie or
Speaker 1: otherwise just not even participate in the poll.
Speaker 3: Well, this is why people were sick of Democrats. I mean,
Speaker 3: the whole time COVID was happening, what they do, I
Speaker 3: mean it was like totalitarianism in this country. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: the way they treated their neighbors, the way they told
Speaker 3: on their neighbors. I mean that happened throughout history right
Speaker 3: in some bad ways, but they just turned into crazy people.
Speaker 3: And I mean Andrew Pappus on Facebook the other day
Speaker 3: you saw it too. He just posted a lady and
Speaker 3: Anderson kicking a Trump sign in someone's yard and trying
Speaker 3: to pull out a ground and she got on her
Speaker 3: knees and she's punching it.
Speaker 1: It's like the sign had molested her young child or something.
Speaker 2: Unhinged, totally unhinged.
Speaker 3: I don't know what is going on in My wife
Speaker 3: and I were sitting here in a conversation last night
Speaker 3: about the difference between urban liberals and suburban liberals, because
Speaker 3: now you've got this relatively new thing, the suburban liberal.
Speaker 2: And where did they come from?
Speaker 3: You talk to guys like Papas He says, Yeah, these
Speaker 3: are city people that you know, they got sick of
Speaker 3: the crime, they got sick of the schools. They moved
Speaker 3: out to Anderson or they moved it, you know, Blue
Speaker 3: Ash or wherever. But they keep voting the same way.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's wild to me. And for whatever reason
Speaker 3: they believe MSNBC, they believe this, you know, all the
Speaker 3: stuff that Rachel Maddow tells them. But there is a difference.
Speaker 3: I feel like the urban liberal is is much more
Speaker 3: educated you can kind of have a conversation with them. Uh,
Speaker 3: but the suburban liberal, for whatever reason, I don't know
Speaker 3: what's going on with them. They seem to be almost worse.
Speaker 1: It was that woke college education that did them in,
Speaker 1: I think, and.
Speaker 2: They never got over it, right, they never. They don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't interact, and they they demonize anyone who's
Speaker 3: voting for Trump is if you're some kind of racist
Speaker 3: fascist part and they use those words on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: That's the Tavlovian response. It's baked into the cake. It's
Speaker 1: just immediately knee jerk reaction. They followed what their you know,
Speaker 1: MSNBC lords and masters tell them to say, and they
Speaker 1: don't have any context for why they're saying it.
Speaker 3: That is why they're losing. That is why they're behind
Speaker 3: right now. And then they you know, they send out
Speaker 3: Kamala who you know can't talk without a teleprompter.
Speaker 2: Well, and even when she's out drunk at the time.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy, Well it is.
Speaker 1: And you know, talk with Christopher Smoothman earlier in the
Speaker 1: program about Barack Obama giving an earfull of black men
Speaker 1: about they need to vote.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen the tiktoks on that
Speaker 3: seen a ton of it there losing really angry black
Speaker 3: men out there coming back and saying you got to
Speaker 3: be out of your mind. By all, Well, you want
Speaker 3: to talk about, uh, you want to talk about shifts,
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the African American shift, and let's talk
Speaker 3: about the Hispanic shift.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk a little bit about that and on
Speaker 1: you won. We got a whole lot to go through
Speaker 1: with Adam Keayler here in this morning. We're gonna do that.
Speaker 1: Just stick around, be right back after the brief words.
Speaker 5: Something weird is going on because I don't know what's
Speaker 5: true and what's not anymore. Because you can't trust the government,
Speaker 5: you can't trust the media, you can't trust social media.
Speaker 5: Someone with a large national megaphone needs to amplify how

Speaker 1: down further down ballot races. Of course, you got the
Speaker 1: Bernie Marino shared brown and you know they continue to
Speaker 1: run ads on with Bernie Marina saying he's going to
Speaker 1: implement a nationwide abortion bandy. Donald Trump's even said no,
Speaker 1: I would never sign that, and then the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: pointed out that no, this is not something over which
Speaker 1: the federal government even has to say, and it is
Speaker 1: a state's issue. So the idea of these ads keep running.
Speaker 1: I guess you know that to me is insulting. It's
Speaker 1: insulting to me because I know better than that.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1: Well, it's sort of taking advantage to the low information voter,
Speaker 1: or not to insult anybody's intelligence intelligence. But on matters political,
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't pay any attention. Anybody runs
Speaker 1: around going, you know, Donald Trump races, xenopho, homophobe, whatever.
Speaker 1: They're not paying attention because nobody has able to illustrate
Speaker 1: or demonstrate a specific in its instance where Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has engaged in, or adopted or embraced that type of
Speaker 1: philosophy anywhere.
Speaker 3: No, he's a known commodity. He was already president for
Speaker 3: four years. Right, it's the Roe v. Wade thing, like
Speaker 3: they lost their minds. But that was the Supreme Court decision.
Speaker 3: But they blamed Trump for that because Trump put a
Speaker 3: couple of those Supreme Court justices on the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3: So they blamed Trump for that. But if Trump wanted
Speaker 3: to do some national abortion maann, wouldn't he a push
Speaker 3: for that when he was president?
Speaker 1: Well and appropriately? So people blame this nineteen seventy three
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wadecourt on engaging in liberal activism judicial activism.
Speaker 1: You know, Donald Trump appointed conservative justice. In other words,
Speaker 1: they follow the letter of the Constitution. They don't make
Speaker 1: up and write laws. They interpret the laws that are
Speaker 1: in front of them in the context of the Constitution.
Speaker 1: And when that case made it, they said, wall, wait
Speaker 1: a second, isn't even a power the federal government enjoys.
Speaker 3: The Democrats forget we live in the United States of America.
Speaker 3: They love the federal government. The federal government is their
Speaker 3: god now it is.
Speaker 1: And this pesky states that have different philosophies and ideas
Speaker 1: because the constituents feel differently than the left. They can't
Speaker 1: handle that. Yeah, I mean, they can't live in a
Speaker 1: world where someone isn't in one hundred percent unified agreement
Speaker 1: with all their batcrap insane ideology. We have legitimate concerns
Speaker 1: as Republicans. We look at Kamala, the fact that her
Speaker 1: dad was a Marxist professor, the fact that she's Canadian,
Speaker 1: the fact that you know, all these things in her rhetoric,
Speaker 1: the things she said about taxing unrealized capital gains. That
Speaker 1: is crazy talk. I mean, that is so far left,
Speaker 1: it's insane. The rhetoric around the First and Second Amendment
Speaker 1: that you've heard from the left, and they'll gaslight you
Speaker 1: on this. Oh yeah, but these are real concerns. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about the structure of our country, foundational document, the Constitution.
Speaker 1: They want to change that right because you know, they're
Speaker 1: not getting their things across that they want to get
Speaker 1: across to lead us down the path of communism.
Speaker 3: But they're not concerned. What concerns do they have? Their
Speaker 3: concerns are make believe Trump is going to institute a
Speaker 3: national abortion ban.
Speaker 2: No he's not.
Speaker 3: He's come out and said he's not going to institute
Speaker 3: a national abortion ban.
Speaker 1: And he believes in exceptions for any ban in abortion,
Speaker 1: including rape, incis life of the mother, and those are
Speaker 1: things that the left has been in favor of a
Speaker 1: long time. And there's Donald Trump on record he does
Speaker 1: not believe in a one hundred percent abortion band that
Speaker 1: notwithstanding the fact that he's not going to have a
Speaker 1: damn bit of control over any bands or proposals. Neither
Speaker 1: will Commersion and neither will she. Yeah, that irks me
Speaker 1: to no end. What else let's see here in terms
Speaker 1: of the the idea that Trump is, if he's really
Speaker 1: truly doing that, well, I mean, there's an opportunity to
Speaker 1: get Bernie Moraino elected. We can get Orlando's Sanza around
Speaker 1: here in Hamilton County.
Speaker 2: What a brilliant How much is better is he than Landsman?
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh, the debate was just absolutely You've got to be in.
Speaker 3: A cult to not look at their resumes and see
Speaker 3: that Sonza is just far and away a much better candidate.
Speaker 3: I mean, west Point, he's a CPA, he's a prosecutor,
Speaker 3: a beautiful wife raising an unbelievably great family. I mean,
Speaker 3: the guy is he's got everything you want a candidate.
Speaker 3: And then you look at Landsman, defund the police, all
Speaker 3: this other nonsense that he's done, and I just I
Speaker 3: can't wrap my head around, like the fact that we're
Speaker 3: just don't live in a logical world anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know the other thing I can take
Speaker 1: some great comfort in, and I saw this off a
Speaker 1: piece in the Wall Street Journal about what's going on
Speaker 1: out in California where they, you know, engage in this
Speaker 1: progressive sort of experiment defunding or rather not criminalizing drugs
Speaker 1: or decriminalizing them. And then also this whole idea that
Speaker 1: you know, less than nine hundred and fifty dollars is
Speaker 1: going to be a misdemeanor that was prop forty seven. Well,
Speaker 1: because of the social costs have gotten so bad for Californians,
Speaker 1: they are backing what is called Proposition thirty six, which
Speaker 1: is going to be voting on. They will restore penalties
Speaker 1: as a criminal determ to and rehabilitation as an inducement.
Speaker 1: For example, drug traffickers, you will get an opportunity to
Speaker 1: get back into treatment rather than prosecution if you pursue
Speaker 1: that path. Otherwise they're going to lock you up like
Speaker 1: they used to. So that puts people in a position
Speaker 1: to turn their lives around. But you have to criminalize
Speaker 1: the behavior up front to get them to enter these programs.
Speaker 1: They threw that out before, and they're living the reality
Speaker 1: of it. And there's a direct correlation between drug use
Speaker 1: and abuse and crimes. Duh, because people who are whacked
Speaker 1: down addicted to drugs usually aren't holding a steady job,
Speaker 1: so they've got to steal things in order to uh, And.
Speaker 3: You're supposed to deal with it. You just get your
Speaker 3: stuff stolen, and you're supposed to just be fine with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but get a load of this. Even in blue
Speaker 1: as far left wing state as you can get, California,
Speaker 1: u C. Berkeley Institute of Government Studies polled at IS
Speaker 1: polled last week, voters favor this Prop thirty six by
Speaker 1: a three to one margin, with the strongest support among Latinos.
Speaker 1: How about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people don't want crime in their neighborhood. And this
Speaker 3: is the wild thing you know the left all well,
Speaker 3: black people can't get IDs, you know, they think it's insulting.
Speaker 3: Everything they do is is like they call, you know,
Speaker 3: Republicans' races. But it's like you guys are kind of
Speaker 3: undercover races. Like you don't think black people can get ideas.
Speaker 3: You don't think black people want safety in their neighborhoods.
Speaker 3: It's crazy to me. I live in an African American neighborhood.
Speaker 3: We know my neighbor, her son just got shot and
Speaker 3: killed on East Cliff and I on August twentieth. She's
Speaker 3: on my front the stoop of my house the other
Speaker 3: day crying about it. It's been you know, a month
Speaker 3: or so, and I'm like, you know, Stacy, what's wrong?
Speaker 2: Still crying? You know, my son?
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about him. And it's just like this kind
Speaker 3: of stuff happens all the time. There's a dry by
Speaker 3: at the house caddy corner from us. My neighbor's Shorty,
Speaker 3: right next door to us. There's an empty line in
Speaker 3: between us and her. She's sweeping up something. We go
Speaker 3: over there the other day, Oh hey, Shorty, how's it going.
Speaker 3: Bullet showcasings. Oh my god, there's still a bullet hole
Speaker 3: in the window. We had a bullet come through. We
Speaker 3: talked about this. We had a bullet come through my
Speaker 3: bedroom window. It's just like this kind of stuff happens
Speaker 3: on a regular basis in the city. And then we
Speaker 3: get gas lit. That crime is down and they just
Speaker 3: broadly use that crime is down for who? Who is
Speaker 3: crime down for?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the Biden and Harris running around talking
Speaker 1: about No, don't believe your wallet, don't believe your own
Speaker 1: eyes when you're at grocery shoping. But we're telling you
Speaker 1: that everything is great. Look at the stock market. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that that really helps a low income inner
Speaker 1: city person struggling with rent and grocery bills, that the
Speaker 1: stock market happens to be up when they're not invested
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, that's a real winner. Hold on, we'll
Speaker 1: continue with Adam Kaylor just after a brief few words,
Speaker 1: he'll be right back.
Speaker 3: This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Hey forty one if you have KRCIT talk station, by
Speaker 1: the time's here with Adam Kylor and studio for the
Speaker 1: whole hour. Adam Kaylor dot com, Koehl, E. R. Run
Speaker 1: A County commissioner and Adam. Over the break there we
Speaker 1: were talking about growth in Hamilton County and where it is,
Speaker 1: and then a little comparison shopping as to maybe what
Speaker 1: some of the surrounding counties are doing by way of growth.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't look like a very pretty picture. You
Speaker 1: mentioned Claremont County by way of illustration. So where are
Speaker 1: we in terms of growth? Clearly needed, We need investment
Speaker 1: in the county, We need more jobs and business is yeah, right,
Speaker 1: of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean you got Hamilton County which has had a
Speaker 3: two percent growth rate over the last decade, while some
Speaker 3: neighboring counties, and I believe it's Claremont has had a
Speaker 3: twenty two percent growth rate over the last decade. And
Speaker 3: I mean you can imagine where that's coming from. It's
Speaker 3: not like people are leaving Pittsburgh or Nashville to come
Speaker 3: to Claremont County. Those people are coming from Hamilton County.
Speaker 3: And the one problem is you don't have pro growth
Speaker 3: people in power here. We have a Democrat i'd say
Speaker 3: progressive monopoly on city Council and Hamilton County Commission.
Speaker 2: Yes, right, we've.
Speaker 3: Got a you know this this Black Music Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame downtown, right, do we spend millions of dollars on
Speaker 3: you know, we spend about a million dollars a year
Speaker 3: there just cutting the grass. And I heard someone say, oh, well,
Speaker 3: there's been thirty five thousand people that have come seen it,
Speaker 3: and over a year thirty five thousand people in a year.
Speaker 3: Is that a tourist attraction? Is that sound like a
Speaker 3: tourist attraction year?
Speaker 1: It doesn't work out, right, it.
Speaker 3: Doesn't work out, But we're spending money on stuff like
Speaker 3: that instead of how do we get the people who
Speaker 3: are not participating in the economy right now to participate
Speaker 3: in the economy. Half of Hamilton County's budget goes to
Speaker 3: criminal justice. That's your money and my money that we
Speaker 3: have to spend. If there's anywhere I think we could
Speaker 3: save money, it's by not producing criminals in the first place.
Speaker 3: But we have school system that there's nothing really I
Speaker 3: could do about the sinsa public school system as as
Speaker 3: a Hamilt County commissioner, except I have a bully poolpit
Speaker 3: to say, hey, get your stuff together. You're costing tax
Speaker 3: payers a ridiculous amount of money by not doing your
Speaker 3: job and keeping kids out of the criminal justice system
Speaker 3: that we have to pay for.
Speaker 1: There's so many layers in that, and I don't even
Speaker 1: know where to begin at them, because of course I
Speaker 1: typically like to play place most of the blame and
Speaker 1: the deterioration of the nuclear family.
Speaker 2: And if you don't have a new gown.
Speaker 1: That path right the left, Yeah, by not requiring fathers
Speaker 1: to take on the responsibility of paying for and supporting
Speaker 1: the children that bring into this world, and hooking up
Speaker 1: women in the umbilical court of government by saying, well,
Speaker 1: if there is a man in your life that provides
Speaker 1: financial support, you're not entitled to any of this aide
Speaker 1: which forced women to stay away from the other guys
Speaker 1: so they can get the money coming from government, which
Speaker 1: I'll be honest is probably a hell of a lot
Speaker 1: more reliable than the baby daddy and trying to track
Speaker 1: him down and get him to pay.
Speaker 3: And why do you think they're losing the blackmail vote
Speaker 3: right now? The blackmail has not been able to participate
Speaker 3: in any of those benefits. They're still on the hook,
Speaker 3: right They're going to jail for not paying child sport.
Speaker 3: They're dealing with a lot of this stuff. They don't
Speaker 3: benefit from a lot of these things. They're looking at
Speaker 3: why they've been voting Democrat for the last seventy years,
Speaker 3: like what have we been doing?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 2: Where has it gotten us?
Speaker 3: And Hispanics too, they hear this stuff about the family's
Speaker 3: not important, this and that from the Democrats and They're like,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, families important to.
Speaker 1: Us, hugely important among the Latino community.
Speaker 3: Huge and more and more of those types of folks
Speaker 3: are moving into Hamilton County. I mean my neighborhood, Price Hill,
Speaker 3: It's always kind of been a neighborhood for folks like us.
Speaker 3: You know, I grew up in a single parent household.
Speaker 3: My dad wasn't around, he didn't job support, right. We
Speaker 3: had a lot of the same problems as many inner
Speaker 3: city people, right, And that's what Price Sol was. It's
Speaker 3: always been kind of a melting pot of folks.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I grew up with a lot of African American people,
Speaker 3: a lot of Appalachians, big Appalachian community, and we didn't
Speaker 3: want to be poor. We didn't want crime in our neighborhoods.
Speaker 3: But it seems to be a dumping ground for crime.
Speaker 3: They just kind of forget about us, right, And people
Speaker 3: are starting to wake up to that fact, and they're like,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, why do we keep voting Democrat? We
Speaker 3: always voted Democrat when I was a kid, and I
Speaker 3: finally woke up, right, start paying taxes, start being a
Speaker 3: productive citizen, and you're like, wait a minute, what are
Speaker 3: we paying for? Half the county's money is going to
Speaker 3: criminal justice right now, just to keep people in jail.
Speaker 3: The schools are are a pipeline to prison. If you
Speaker 3: are going to save taxpayers money somewhere, stop sending us prisoners,
Speaker 3: stop sending us people, start creating productive citizens, Bring the
Speaker 3: trades back for God's sake. Put some vocational programs back
Speaker 3: in these schools like Western Hills.
Speaker 1: That right, there is a winning ideacational training. It's all
Speaker 1: the rage these days. College education not so much, especially
Speaker 1: when you come out of college with two hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in debt and nothing but this sort of liberal
Speaker 1: arts degree that well, guess what, there are no jobs
Speaker 1: that are going to be paying the money that you
Speaker 1: need to pay off that student debt with. It's just
Speaker 1: it's a pointless exercise. It's like paying two hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to learn a hobby. Eight forty six fifty five
Speaker 1: K City Talks Station one more with Adam Kaylor again,
Speaker 1: Adam Kaylor got dot Com. I'll be right back, fifty
Speaker 1: five car the talk station one more time for the
Speaker 1: weather this morning. Channel nine says cloudy and isolated evening
Speaker 1: showers fifty nine tonight down to forty two, cloudy and
Speaker 1: isolated showers. Mostly cloudy with isolated showers Tomorrow with the
Speaker 1: high fifty five and then overnight low of thirty seven.
Speaker 1: Skis will clear up, closing out of forty nine degrees

Speaker 4: From the uce Hell Traffic Center. Mamma Graham's Save Lives
Speaker 4: call five one three, five eight four pink to schedule
Speaker 4: your annual Mammo Graham with uc Hell's expert team.
Speaker 1: That's five eight four pink.
Speaker 4: South seventy five at Mitchell Avenue. Accident with a car
Speaker 4: on its top. They've moved the car back upright and
Speaker 4: have it hooked up to the tow truck, but emergency
Speaker 4: vehicles still blocking all four lanes are squeezing by only
Speaker 4: on the right shoulder. Expect to lays back through the
Speaker 4: locklun split. In fact, South seventy five also slow Union
Speaker 4: Center down to two seventy five. I'm Jason Earhart on
Speaker 4: fifty five KRC the talk.
Speaker 1: Station eight fifty year fifty five KRCD talk station. My
Speaker 1: friend Jeff from Marc on tool says, yes, you are right,
Speaker 1: we have to start teaching the trades again. There are
Speaker 1: great jobs out there, no student debt, and of course
Speaker 1: you can get paid well you learn. I mean, we
Speaker 1: talk with John Morris, former the Associated Builders and Contracts
Speaker 1: about that all the time. Lots of jobs in the trades,
Speaker 1: and probably even more now given all the hurricane damage
Speaker 1: and all the rebuilding and the projects that need to
Speaker 1: be done. We can go on for hours on that.
Speaker 1: Adam Kaylor find them online at Adam Kayler dot com.
Speaker 1: Probably a better path for himl Uinty Commissioner offering some
Speaker 1: more conservative perspective, some bit some really pro growth in
Speaker 1: Hamilton County perspectives, and of course a man who has
Speaker 1: seen it all. He's been a resident of the city
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and in a well, very mixed community and
Speaker 1: grew up very poor with a single mom, and you know,
Speaker 1: not anymore, not anymore. You change your life around, and
Speaker 1: you've been a very successful businessman. I applaud your record
Speaker 1: and your hard work, and you're just proof that it
Speaker 1: pays off. Hard work and an education is the key
Speaker 1: to freedom, the key to yeah, freedom from the umbilical
Speaker 1: court of government, which is very addictive anyway, Adam, final thoughts,
Speaker 1: where we part company today? I know, I guess I
Speaker 1: leave it to you to decide which direction you want
Speaker 1: to go. You got a few minutes here left. Well,
Speaker 1: I want to fight for my city. I want to
Speaker 1: fight for the county.
Speaker 3: I want you know, there's there's been a disinvestment I
Speaker 3: would say disinterest from Republicans because I mean there's been
Speaker 3: a flight of Republicans from Hamilton County out to the suburbs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they almost feel like it feels like
Speaker 1: they've almost given up, completely given up.
Speaker 3: There's this down trodden attitude. I want to bring some
Speaker 3: energy back to the GOP. I want to bring energy back.
Speaker 3: I want to bring you know, more people here, like
Speaker 3: I've got a I went to school in Pittsburgh, right,
Speaker 3: got a big Bengal sticker on the back of my car,
Speaker 3: got broken into twice. They hate me. They hate me
Speaker 3: at Pittsburgh right. Well, I don't like them either. I
Speaker 3: want their businesses to move here. I don't want Columbus
Speaker 3: to do better than us. I was in Indianapolis on Saturday.
Speaker 3: You know, they've got some growth. There's some things happening.
Speaker 3: And I was in Carmel, beautiful suburb. You know, I
Speaker 3: see that stuff happening. And now I'm like, why can't
Speaker 3: we have it here. What's going on in Cincinnati, what's
Speaker 3: going on in Hamilton County. Let's bring that back. You've
Speaker 3: got guys here that have never stopped working politically in
Speaker 3: Hamilton County, Guys like Jim Keether on the west side.
Speaker 3: You good friends with Jim. I mean, he gets out there.
Speaker 3: The guy is NonStop. He's a guy lives in Price,
Speaker 3: lived in Pryso for years. He's seeing what's going on
Speaker 3: in that neighborhood. He's seen what's going on in our communities.
Speaker 3: And it's like you've got a Democrat monopoly. One of
Speaker 3: the biggest problems is is I guarantee you all those
Speaker 3: guys that on city Council, on County Commission. I bet
Speaker 3: you they all got a teachers union endorsement.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. If I was a betting man, I put
Speaker 1: it all in on that.
Speaker 3: And if you've got a teachers union endorsement, you want
Speaker 3: to keep that endorsement. Right, So what happened and when
Speaker 3: the schools start to do I wouldn't wear it as
Speaker 3: a badge of pride. Honestly, I would either. I would either.
Speaker 3: But if you turn a blind eye to the failures
Speaker 3: of the school. You turn a blind eye to the
Speaker 3: nineteen percent college readiness rate, the forty three percent chronic
Speaker 3: truancy rate. Truancy has never been this high in the
Speaker 3: public schools. Do you understand, Brian, They're creating a system
Speaker 3: of failure in our schools and in our county. And
Speaker 3: what's in what's going to happen is is the next
Speaker 3: generation is going to be worse than the last one.
Speaker 1: Oh, without question, without question, That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: In couple with that truancy rate. I imagine this factors
Speaker 1: into the whole idea of equitable grade. In other words,
Speaker 1: you don't hold anyone back because it's going to hurt
Speaker 1: their feelings or something, and you go ahead and advance
Speaker 1: them to the next grade when they haven't had a
Speaker 1: mastery of the grade that they're currently in meeting. The
Speaker 1: problem just keeps getting worse and worse and worse as
Speaker 1: you move forward.
Speaker 3: Well, kids have no idea what they want to do, Brian.
Speaker 3: I went to a school for the credit and former arts.
Speaker 3: Everybody at that school, which I sent on the board
Speaker 3: of right now, everybody at that school had a vision
Speaker 3: for what they wanted to do. They knew they had
Speaker 3: a talent. Someone helped them identify that at a young age.
Speaker 3: I can dance, I can sing, I could draw. In
Speaker 3: my case, I could draw. I've owned an ad agency
Speaker 3: for fourteen years.
Speaker 1: Brian.
Speaker 3: It got me into my startup. I've done art the
Speaker 3: whole time. Like it pointed me in a direction. I'm
Speaker 3: just a broke kid from probably selling a single mother household,
Speaker 3: hanging around with games. Right, I needed direction. I didn't
Speaker 3: know how the world worked. These kids don't have a clue.
Speaker 3: They rely on older people. They rely on folks who've
Speaker 3: been out in the workforce, who know what's coming. The
Speaker 3: problem is current leadership's more worried about their progressive policies
Speaker 3: than they are.
Speaker 2: What's next, pronouns, what's coming? How we are going to
Speaker 2: build affordable housing?
Speaker 1: Brian.
Speaker 3: We don't have plumbers, we don't have electricians, we don't
Speaker 3: have HVC guys. Meanwhile, there's businesses for sale baby boomers,
Speaker 3: profitable businesses that are selling that are just gonna go
Speaker 3: away because they have no secession plan. And the young
Speaker 3: people they're not interested even if they wanted to buy
Speaker 3: that business. How do they do it? How do they
Speaker 3: do it?
Speaker 2: There's no plan. We have no plan.
Speaker 3: We need to start creating cycles of success, not cycles
Speaker 3: of poverty, and that's what we have now. We have
Speaker 3: cycles of poverty. And these are long term plans. These
Speaker 3: don't happen overnight, so we got to start doing that.
