WEBVTT 1 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:19.320 Welcome to the Nightcap a seven hundred WLW for this 2 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.079 Tuesday night, October eighth, twenty twenty four. Gary Jeff, welcome 3 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.920 by your side between now and midnight. And I think 4 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.640 we've got a pretty fine show, and that starts always 5 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.640 at the beginning. Apparently for some reason they won't let 6 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.200 me start with the end of the show because that 7 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.439 would be a much shorter show and much less work 8 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:43.479 for me. But let's get started anyway. We have Hamilton 9 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.560 County Chairman Judge Russell Mock on to talk for today 10 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.799 the first day of voting in the state of Ohio, 11 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.479 and so people are already casting their ballots. Let's talk 12 00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.119 a little bit about who Russell Mock, Judge Mock thinks 13 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.840 you should be casting your ballot for and what issues 14 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.120 you should really care about. And I think the first thing, 15 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.280 good evening, Russells by the. 16 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.799 Way, good evening, Gary Jeff, thanks for having me on. 17 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.480 Sure And the first thing you would tell people is 18 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.040 go all the way through the ballot, just don't check 19 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.680 a box for the president and forget about the rest. Right. 20 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.079 Absolutely, it's so important, especially for Republicans in Hambleton County, 21 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.840 to devote all the way from the top of the 22 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:30.359 ticket all the. 23 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.439 Way down to the bottom of the ticket, since we. 24 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.879 Have a lot of important local races that I want 25 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:36.840 to talk about. But you know, today was the first 26 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.640 day of early voting, October eighth, and I fulfilled my commitment. 27 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.200 I went this morning and I voted. I got it 28 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:44.000 out of the way, and. 29 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.040 I voted all the way down the tickets, and I 30 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:48.879 looked for a lot of success coming out of these 31 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.079 local races, and certainly the state wise as well. 32 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.560 I have heard that, especially now, the push for the 33 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.359 first time took you guys a while to catch up. 34 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:02.519 The Republicans are pushing for vote early if you can. 35 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:07.760 And the reason for that is so the resources because 36 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.000 apparently you guys know who has voted among registered voters 37 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.479 and who hasn't. Is that correct? 38 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.879 Absolutely, so we can check the voter rolls on a 39 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.159 daily basis. We know that over seventy thousand ballots were 40 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.240 mailed out today since today was the first, the first ballot, 41 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.680 and actually there were more Republicans registered Republicans that requested 42 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.240 mail in ballots this year and then previous and so 43 00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.599 in actually more than the Democrats, which I think is 44 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.080 fantastic and so it's working. You know, it's okay to 45 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.919 vote this way. President Trump thinks it's okay. We need 46 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.280 the banker votes. Two things, One, you're right about the resources. 47 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.960 We can allocate our resources to pushing out voters that 48 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.879 don't usually go out to vote in these close election years. 49 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.120 And we can. 50 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.520 Also, you know, you never know what's going to happen 51 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.000 on election days. You can get sick, something can happen, 52 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.319 you know, maybe even a snowstorm November here in Ohio. 53 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.520 But you want to get out and bank your vote early, 54 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.520 and I did that this morning myself. 55 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.680 All right, let's talk about the important races for Hamilton County. 56 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.879 I would say, outside of the issues, the number one 57 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:18.000 place you're looking is the Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers. 58 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.120 Judge Powers is running for that on the Republican side. 59 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.919 Why Judge Melissa Powers over her opponent, Countie Pillage. 60 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.000 Well, I have to say Connie Pillage is dangerously unqualified 61 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.159 the whole disposition of proskan attorney. 62 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.520 And I'll tell you why. Number One, she's never. 63 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.400 Prosecuted a single case. 64 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.039 In her entire legal career. 65 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.800 And more telling, she hasn't even been in a criminal 66 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.840 court room in over twenty years. And probably the most 67 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.879 shocking point is she actually had let her law license 68 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.439 lapse and had to re up her law license just 69 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:56.319 so she could actually run for this race. You know, 70 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.360 I think that's dangerously unqualified. You know, I don't know you, 71 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.680 Gary Jeff, but I certainly wouldn't take. 72 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.240 Off in an airline in an airline. 73 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.400 Plane with a pilot who's never landed a plane. And 74 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.360 this is just way too important of a position to 75 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.319 do that. When you look at the difference of the 76 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.879 qualifications between Melissa Powers and Connie Pisher's, it's no contest. 77 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.879 Well, let's talk about Melissa powers qualifications real quick. 78 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:24.000 Absolutely. 79 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.560 I mean, Melissa Powers has been a judge on. 80 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.639 Two courts, the municipal court as. 81 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.920 Well as the juvenile Court. She was a tough prosecutor 82 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.439 that worked her way through just about every division in 83 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.199 the prosecutor's office. When she's here, and since she's been 84 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.560 here now for the year and a half, she's done 85 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.399 a fantastic job. She's heard thousands and thousands of these cases, 86 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.519 you know, and she's doing this for the right reason. 87 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.240 You know, Melissa. 88 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.720 Powers, Judge Powers had put her time in She retired 89 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.600 I think she had twenty six days of retirement before 90 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.160 she you know, heard the calling to service again and 91 00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.959 came out to take this position. Because she's doing this 92 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.600 for the right reason. She's doing this for public safety. 93 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.120 She's doing this because she's born and raised. 94 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.000 In Hamlet County. 95 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.079 She's raised her family here, her grandchildren are here. 96 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.560 And she wants this community to be safe. 97 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.319 She's doing it for the not for the right reasons. 98 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.680 She's not doing it just for another political. 99 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.600 Plumb okay uh. And it's important you say to as 100 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.639 you go down the ballot to vote for the rest 101 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.279 of the judges that are running on the ticket. And 102 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.199 it's so crucial. We've got judges who are totally incompetent 103 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.680 sitting on benches or running right now. And for public 104 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:40.040 safety and for justice, you got to look at the 105 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:41.160 judges you're electing. 106 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.319 Absolutely, And you know, I encourage everyone to go to gop. 107 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:47.279 Judges dot com. 108 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:48.560 Gop judges dot com. 109 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.600 We have a list of our seven very qualified local 110 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.000 candidates as well as our three Supreme Court candidates. 111 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.279 You know, the majority of the. 112 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.959 Conservative Ohio Supreme Court is up is it again this year, 113 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.519 and so we have to make sure that Obviously, Joe 114 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.519 Dieters and Megan Shanahan are well known around here. But 115 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.360 we also need to make sure that Judge Dan Hawkins 116 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.160 from Columbus, that all three of those Supreme Court Republican 117 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.240 justices are elected because we need to keep the conservative majority. 118 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.120 I'll tell you things going on around locally. I know 119 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.319 from the Proscuter's office they're having to appeal more and 120 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.839 more cases to the High Supreme Court because of liberal 121 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.560 and left leaning judges on the Court of Appeals and 122 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.839 on the bench here, and so we need to make 123 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.439 sure that we keep control of the Ohio Supreme Court. 124 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.439 And District one race. Let's finish with the District one 125 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.240 race for the House of Representatives. Tell me real quickly 126 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.439 about your candidate, Russell. 127 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.279 Well Orlando Sianza. Doesn't get much better than this. You know, 128 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:52.600 West Point grad military officer CPA, you know, lawyer, assistant prosecutor. 129 00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:53.759 Now he runs the VA. 130 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.959 You know, it's clearly more qualified to lead oh one 131 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.040 in Washington. You know, his principles aligned with us. He 132 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.560 has shown a vision for the future. And if anybody 133 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.120 watched either of those two debates with Creig Landsman, I 134 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.079 mean it was hands down victory for Orlando Sanza. So 135 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.639 you know, I'm really excited about that race. You know, 136 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.480 I think we can restore When Orlando Sanza wins District one, 137 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.439 We're going to restore integrity back into that district. 138 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.959 Judd Russell mock, Chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party. 139 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.800 First day of Ohio voting under way tonight and the 140 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.360 race is on thirty days.

As another hurricane is barreling towards Florida right now, 163 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:02.240 and the relief efforts have been really outstanding from the 164 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.480 private sector and from groups like the American Red Cross 165 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.960 and Samaritan's Purse Matthew twenty five ministries here locally in 166 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.360 the Cincinnati area, and there are all kinds of angles 167 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.519 to what people need who have lost everything. A man 168 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.759 who has a keen interest and focus on musicians because 169 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.320 he loves music so much and knows that so many 170 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.240 of these musicians in Appalachia, along with their houses and 171 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.600 everything else they own, they lost their instruments too. He 172 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.559 is the host and founder of the Wood Songs old 173 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:40.799 time radio show Radio Hour Rather that you will see 174 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:45.080 on public television on stations including the KET Network in 175 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:49.480 Kentucky and on the radio, Michael Jonathan joins us for 176 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:54.799 a few minutes to talk about his particular focus of 177 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:59.919 interest in providing relief to the musicians in North Caro 178 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.240 Line in those places that have been so devastated. Michael, 179 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.960 good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to the Nightcap 180 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.600 here on seven hundred WLW. How are you. 181 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.799 I'm good, and thank you for having me. It's an 182 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.840 honor to talk to you. 183 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.639 And I know the station has a huge audience and 184 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.240 you're a popular voice on that station, and I appreciate 185 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:25.600 you giving a time for an effort like we're doing well. 186 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.679 This instrument drive that you've launched for the victims of 187 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.320 Hurricane Helene. Your goal is to collect at least one 188 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.840 thousand musical instruments to donate to the musicians in hard, 189 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.039 hard hit areas. And well, it's hard to think about 190 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.799 the practicality of getting back to any semblance of normalcy 191 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:48.240 right now. A lot of these musicians, I mean, they 192 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.480 do this for a living. This is how they earn, 193 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:54.399 you know, if they ever have a roof over their 194 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.679 heads again. And God's help and with the help of 195 00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:01.799 all these other volunteers and donations will get them restored 196 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.600 more quickly rather than slowly. And that's our prayer, Michael, 197 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.440 So tell me why you decided to do this and 198 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.960 how people can help. Sure. 199 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.480 You know, when the tornadoes ravaged Tennessee and Indiana and 200 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:24.039 Western Kentucky, I saw Governor Bursheer on television. 201 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.840 And very emotional, and he said, you know that. 202 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.519 The camera lens is not wide enough to take in 203 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:30.440 this destruction. 204 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.440 And I found I found that very moving. 205 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:38.559 So we collected and delivered over a thousand instruments for 206 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:42.279 the musicians of Western Kentucky and Tornado Alley and we 207 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:45.120 delivered them all for free. And then when the flood 208 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.120 ted Appalachia a year later. 209 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:47.840 We did it again. 210 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.559 Because the musicians of the mountains, you know that this 211 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.639 is their this is their this is their. 212 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:56.559 Heart and their spirit. 213 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.120 You know, at first when a disaster hits, you know, 214 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.440 they're worried about their car is gone, their home is demolished. 215 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.600 They don't know where their family members are. They can't 216 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:08.600 get online, there's no communication. 217 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.440 There's no cell phones. The business that they used to 218 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.759 work at is gone. They don't have a job anymore. 219 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.840 Banjos and guitars are not a priority. But when it fall, 220 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:21.039 when this subject falls below the fold, so to speak. 221 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.519 You know what I'm talking about. 222 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:27.440 Other things happen, and all of a sudden, Helene becomes 223 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.360 a you know, Milton may be overtaking Helene here in 224 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:34.559 a day or two.

Oh, that's 231 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.200 what the Apalachic That's what the Appalachian region is. 232 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.799 And I believe in the spirit of the front porch. 233 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:02.399 I believe what. 234 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.960 You're doing right now with your voice on your show, 235 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:10.120 getting the word out for things that can help.
