<v Speaker 1>But this is gonna be This hour is gonna fly

15
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>by a noe time.

16
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 3>Todd. We've got so much to talk about. Really, I'd

17
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 3>dwelt a whole lot.

18
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I had Smith ament on for a volume two of

19
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>the Smith Event yesterday because of the equity whatever that

20
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 1>committee is that advanced the proposal to amend the zoning

21
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>laws in Hyde Park seven to two vote, and then yes,

22
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>of course, city council voted seven to two to alter

23
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>Hyde Park's zoning laws, zoning laws which the City of

24
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati imposed upon all the neighborhoods, the connected community zoning laws, right, okay,

25
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 1>So they took away every community's ability to control their

26
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 1>own destiny. And that wasn't even that long ago, was it?

27
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Because you and I talked about it last June. Last June,

28
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and then yesterday they undid their own blanket rule for

29
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the entire city of since sant connectic communities by allowing

30
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a variance to the connected communities and building in what

31
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>eighty five foot versus the fifty foot limitation, one hundred

32
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and twenty bedroom, a hotel, and this whole new development

33
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 1>that it sounds like the vast majority of High Park

34
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>residents did not Were you at council meeting yesterday.

35
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't a council yesterday. I was at the committee

36
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>meeting on Tuesday.

37
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 3>So you saw what was there, You saw what was

38
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 3>going on.

39
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, it was just incredible that in the citizens that

40
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 2>spoke were some of the most passionate, sincere articulate witnesses

41
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.159
<v Speaker 2>you ever wanted to hear and it just seems and

42
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>somebody mentioned it yesterday. I watched it on TV. A

43
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 2>citizen came forward yesterday and he said, you know what,

44
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>at the end of that committee meeting, three or four

45
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>of these council members had prepared remarks that they were making.

46
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>They prepared them ahead of time, which tells all of

47
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>us how that they had made their minds up before

48
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 2>they even walked into the room. So what is the

49
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 2>charade all about? And that's what we keep getting with

50
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 2>this city council and with this city mayor. Is they

51
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>do all these things and they may make it look like, oh,

52
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the communities involved, and we're taking your issues into consideration.

53
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't be farther from the truth. These city council

54
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>members made up their mind long ago and there wasn't

55
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>anything that these citizens could do to change their minds.

56
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 2>And that's really what has to change in city Hall.

57
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you told me all air, and I wasn't

58
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 1>even aware of it, because Hyde Park got organized to

59
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>stop this. They were loud, they had campaign signs or

60
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>save the Square or whatever. I mean, it was almost

61
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 1>like a campaign for political office in terms of their

62
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>opposition on this and the targets, of course, were the

63
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 1>members of the city council and the mayor. It wasn't

64
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the entire community of Hyde Park over some bond issue

65
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. They were just focusing their attention on elected

66
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>officials in the City of Cincinnati, Right.

67
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 3>But you said this happened also in bond Hill.

68
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, there was a development in bond Hill that

69
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 2>was proposed. Developer came in, met with the communit unity

70
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>up there, they all supported it. He goes back and

71
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>he changes the plan and he makes it. He makes

72
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 2>it look like the neighborhood approved it. What he was

73
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>finally proposing was not what the community voted on, Jill

74
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 2>bait and switch. Yes, very much so. And that's another

75
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>one where the city council just went with the developer.

76
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 3>Well connected developer.

77
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, for this city council, they're all well connected.

78
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you didn't coin the phrase. The last time you

79
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 3>were here.

80
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 1>You pointed out on this Hyde Park issue that we're

81
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 1>talking about very well connected developers. In other words, big

82
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>developers with a lot of money that fun campaigns and

83
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 1>get things done for them that the ordinary, everyday voting citizen,

84
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 1>the constituent can't get done.

85
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Right, what's interesting is one of the witnesses in supporting

86
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 2>the project that spoke at the meeting was a lobbyist

87
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 2>for the developer.

88
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I knew you were going through.

89
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it was maybe like a family member or

90
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 1>one of the owners of the developer or something like that.

91
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Rumor is that she wants to run for city council.

92
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:08.519
<v Speaker 3>Oh geez, Well, what I.

93
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Think is that if that's the case, and this city

94
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>council loves developers as much as they seem to love developers,

95
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe one of them would get up, give up their

96
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>seat or give up their spot on the blue ticket

97
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 2>they give to this lobbyist. Why not?

98
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:23.160
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

99
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it would represent a change for

100
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 1>the good or the better or worse. It's just impossible

101
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to know at this point. But what I draw from

102
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 1>this is clearly this dictatorial council ignores the will of

103
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 1>its voters, ignores the will of the citizenry, violates this

104
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 1>representative democracy process. They're supposed to take into consideration what

105
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 1>the majority of those folks out there want, and they

106
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 1>just basically raise their metaphorical middle finger at everybody in

107
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Hyde Park and said screw you.

108
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's been reported to me that Jeff Cramerdin was

109
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>being interviewed yesterday on the radio and he called the

110
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>citizens impediments and that's consistent with a grant that the

111
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 2>city prepared for HUD that called the citizens barriers. So

112
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>that's really that's that's the city council in a nutshell.

113
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 3>That's it. You know. I'm sorry, that's disturbing.

114
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 2>It's very disturbing. But there are two people on the

115
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>city council who get it, I know, the Vice mayor

116
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 2>and Scottie Johnson. And it's like, why aren't we listening

117
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 2>to the citizens here? And they just didn't carry the

118
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 2>day well.

119
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Tee Lee readings a little difficult, and I was going

120
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>to ask to you know who you were planning on

121
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>endorsing at the tail end of this discussion, but was

122
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>since we only have a couple minutes left in the segment.

123
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I when Corey Bowman was on He's going to be

124
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>back on this program tomorrow, by the way, folks, if

125
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 1>you want to tune in for that. But when Corey

126
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Bowmen was in here last time, we talked about this

127
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>issue and I said, you know what, Hyde Park votes

128
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 1>pretty blue. They're for pretty much Democrats over there, I said,

129
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 1>because they are being ignored this city council and the

130
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>mayor aren't worthy of their support. Are going to alienate

131
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>so many people in Hyde Park. I said, Corey, you

132
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 1>may have a really good opportunity to at least maybe

133
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>get some campaign contributions and perhaps a good chunk of

134
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 1>the voters over in Hyde Park to vote for you.

135
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 1>The primaries coming up. If you know, this is just

136
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 1>this is the top two. They don't break it down

137
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>into party. So if the Hyde Park residents want to

138
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>really show how angry they are, they should overwhelmingly vote.

139
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 3>For Corey Bowman.

140
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm encouraging everybody in the City of Cincinnati do

141
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Corey Bowman

142
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>came out as the top vote getner over aftab per Ball.

143
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 2>That would be something, Brian, I would be amazing.

144
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I mean, we can have a party in celebration

145
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 1>the we're just that accomplishment, not that he would ultimately

146
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 1>become mayor, but just for the people to voice their

147
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 1>discontent and their absolute outright outrage over what happened yesterday.

148
00:07:58.279 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I think it'd be awesome.

149
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I hope, I hope that's the case, and I

150
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>hope they carry that through to the general election.

151
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Well I do too, and so I suppose I can

152
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 1>conclude from that that you are supporting Corey Bomer.

153
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, absolutely, you know. And every day it just

154
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>this Mayor reinforces that position, like on this over the

155
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 2>weekend when he appeared at this fifty to fifty one

156
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>protest downtown.

157
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>He was They didn't even have a permit to block

158
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the streets, and there he was blocking the streets with

159
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the rest of them.

160
00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.360
<v Speaker 2>He was giving it everything he could, just like AOC.

161
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 2>He looked like AOC.

162
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 4>He did, going on and on.

163
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>About this individual deported to El Salvador, just going on

164
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>and on about it.

165
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>The MS thirteen wife beating gang member that had been

166
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 1>arrested and already adjudicated a gang member.

167
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.080
<v Speaker 3>That guy, that guy, Yeah, yeah, I just can't. I

168
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 3>just can't, family, man.

169
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.159
<v Speaker 2>I just can't go there. He looks mainstream. Aftab Purval

170
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>is not mainstream.

171
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>He isn't at all. He's as left as they come,

172
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:03.159
<v Speaker 1>because from the same tink of socialist cloths AOC. We

173
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.879
<v Speaker 1>will continue with Todd's in or Oursin's our citizen Watchdog.

174
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Get a load of this folks Cincinnati's green ambitions. I

175
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't gotten the details yet, but based upon the look

176
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 1>on Todd Zenzer's face, and I know he did a

177
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>podcast about this the other day, be prepared to be disgusted.

178
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps First, save money, go to affordable imaging services, just

179
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>like I did not too long ago. Got my most

180
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.159
<v Speaker 1>recent CT scan at affordable Imaging Services, so I didn't

181
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.159
<v Speaker 1>have to pay five thousand dollars at a hospital imaging

182
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>department and then pay extra for the board certified radiologist report.

183
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 1>I paid six hundred dollars because they needed a contrast

184
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.399
<v Speaker 1>four hundred and fifty without a contrast, six hundred with

185
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>a contrast. That's all you pay. It's at affordable imaging services. Yes,

186
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it's the same kind of equipment the hospitals use. Yes,

187
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 1>medical professionals are operating it. No, my doctor had no

188
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.559
<v Speaker 1>issues whatsoever with the scan or the radiologist report, just

189
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.279
<v Speaker 1>like the last couple of times I did it.

190
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 5>There.

191
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Save money on echo cardograms and they'll get you right

192
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 1>in with an echo cardigram. We're talking about your heart here.

193
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 1>You want to wait around a month? We're worrying. No,

194
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>get right in int affordable imaging services where without an enhancement,

195
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>it's only five hundred bucks eight hundred with an enhancement.

196
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Same thing across the board, MRIs, ultrasounds, long screenings, cardiac scorings,

197
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>fraction of the cost, low overhead, but same equipment. The

198
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.960

<v Speaker 1>get your podcast, Todd, what's this insanity all about?

228
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, Brian, I, like everybody else, see what's happening at

229
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 2>the federal level with funding and the E and the

230
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Department of Energy, and the money that the city has

231
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>been getting on climate activities is going to end. And

232
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 2>you don't hear anybody at city Hall talking about what

233
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>they're going to do differently. But Since two thousand and eight,

234
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 2>the city every five years has updated their Green Plan

235
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Green Cincinnati Plan. It started in two thousand and eight

236
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 2>with mister Mallory. He called the plan a climate protection plan.

237
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he was protecting us from the

238
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 2>climate or protecting the climate. And then every five years

239
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 2>they have updated their Cincinnati Green Plan. In every five

240
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:51.799
<v Speaker 2>years it gets more and more extensive and really radical,

241
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:56.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean really extreme. The twenty twenty three Green Cincinnati

242
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Plan is probably the most comprehensive of climate change bible

243
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:06.639
<v Speaker 2>that you would ever want to see. It covers the

244
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:12.519
<v Speaker 2>whole gamut of civilization basically in Cincinnati, our food, our energy,

245
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 2>our look at some others, mobility, natural environment, resilience, and

246
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:25.960
<v Speaker 2>climate adaptation. They have these eight focus areas, and each

247
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:30.039
<v Speaker 2>focus area has one to three goals, and then each

248
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 2>goal has all these activities that they want to accomplish

249
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>and furtherance of that goal. And you look at these

250
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>things and well, first of all, you don't know whether

251
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:44.879
<v Speaker 2>it's really happening or not, and you don't know exactly

252
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing, you don't know how much all this

253
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.840
<v Speaker 2>is costing, and they just go about their business like

254
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.639
<v Speaker 2>this is the main thing, and it's not the main thing.

255
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And I, based on what I've been doing, if the

256
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:02.559
<v Speaker 2>city has to cut back on spending, this would be

257
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the area to cut back. If they stopped all these

258
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 2>activities tomorrow, nobody would notice. Nobody would notice that, Oh, well,

259
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.159
<v Speaker 2>we're not going out trying to promote people to get

260
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.240
<v Speaker 2>on plant based diets anymore. Nobody's going to notice that.

261
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even realize they were out promoting people to

262
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>get on plant based diets anyway.

263
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was that was a goal in the twenty

264
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:26.759
<v Speaker 2>eighteen plan.

265
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:27.320
<v Speaker 4>Huh.

266
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Maybe then they I guess they embraced the idea of

267
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.279
<v Speaker 1>pairing back snap benefits to take out sugary beverages and

268
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.159
<v Speaker 1>and and and fatty foods and doritos.

269
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:38.799
<v Speaker 2>So that's a good question, Brian. I don't know if

270
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 2>they would go for that or not.

271
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 1>No, they wouldn't go for that because that would deprive

272
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>people of choice, the choice that they're arguing they shouldn't

273
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 1>have because they want you to eat plants. Yes, so

274
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 1>none of this makes sense. It doesn't really make Well,

275
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 1>let's let's look at it from a broader element. How

276
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.320
<v Speaker 1>many we have, like two hundred and eighty thousand people

277
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>or dollars roughly, Yes, in a defined space that's a

278
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>city of Cincinnati. The geographical limitations. That's as far as

279
00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>their power extends. What do they really truly think can

280
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>be accomplished by imposing all of these edicts and mandates

281
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>on a finitely, if very infinitely comparently small space within

282
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.919
<v Speaker 1>the state of Ohio when everybody around us isn't doing this.

283
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:21.159
<v Speaker 1>More fundamentally, outside of the country, like China and India

284
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:24.399
<v Speaker 1>and Turkey and other large producers of pollutants, they're not

285
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>doing it anyway. We're all breeding the same damn air.

286
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>What possible benefit can any of this have on impacting

287
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the climate so that somebody could make that argument, I

288
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>think it makes them certifiably insane.

289
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think that the EPA is going to

290
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 2>do something about this CO two and endangerment.

291
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Of it's plant food for God's sake.

292
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Right, So the city. I think that they are following

293
00:15:54.840 --> 00:16:00.279
<v Speaker 2>the Democrat orthodoxy. But one of the things, as they

294
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 2>do with the Green Cincinnati Plan is their tentacles go

295
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:10.519
<v Speaker 2>out even further. They've got about seventy different community organizations

296
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 2>and nonprofits that are on board, and they're giving money

297
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.080
<v Speaker 2>to these groups, yeah, to do all these things, and

298
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:22.000
<v Speaker 2>they build this constituency, but it's that constituency really isn't

299
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:23.879
<v Speaker 2>in the neighborhoods as far as I can tell, maybe

300
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.639
<v Speaker 2>a couple of neighborhoods. But I really don't think the

301
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>people in West Price Hill or East Price Hill are

302
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 2>really thinking that the city is putting a dent into

303
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the greenhouse gases. They claim they are some kind of dent. Oh,

304
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:40.320
<v Speaker 2>we've reduced greenhouse gases in the city of Cincinnati by

305
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 2>x percent or something like that. But the greenhouse gases

306
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 2>only affect the atmosphere at a very high level. So yeah,

307
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:50.720
<v Speaker 2>it really doesn't do anything.

308
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 1>And I suspect the folks in Price Hill or Avondel

309
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.080
<v Speaker 1>or pick A neighborhood are probably a little bit more

310
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 1>worried about the property tax bill and putting food on

311
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.680
<v Speaker 1>the table and inflation and stuff that really matters. And

312
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>this all is taking money away from resources that might

313
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 1>go to well, I don't know, phil potholes or improve

314
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 1>the the the neighborhood. From a broken windows theory connected standpoint,

315
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you know.

316
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, well, if they put as much energy into planning

317
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:28.039
<v Speaker 2>fixing the roads as they have in this Green Cincinnati plan,

318
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 2>we would see a lot more progress on our infrastructure.

319
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 2>But I've been trying to figure out how much money

320
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.559
<v Speaker 2>this is all costing. It's not easy to track through

321
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 2>the city, but so far it looks like in two

322
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:47.559
<v Speaker 2>thousand and four they received forty five million dollars in

323
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.400
<v Speaker 2>federal grants and then the city spent their own money

324
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:59.279
<v Speaker 2>to about nine million dollars for green New Green Cincinnati activities,

325
00:17:59.880 --> 00:18:02.839
<v Speaker 2>and so a lot of that money is just going

326
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>to go away. And they have people on staff. The

327
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.839
<v Speaker 2>city has people on staff, especially in their Office of

328
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Environment and Sustainability, I think is what they call it.

329
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they basically have this attitude, we eat what

330
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.880
<v Speaker 2>we kill. So they file all these grant applications with

331
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the federal government. Yeah, the head of the office was

332
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 2>quoted in the newspapers saying that, oh, he's They've put

333
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 2>applications in for between sixty and eighty million dollars. And

334
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:39.279
<v Speaker 2>so you have people writing these grants. When you get

335
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:42.680
<v Speaker 2>their grants, you have to manage the grant and it

336
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 2>consumes so much energy and part of the city staff

337
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.519
<v Speaker 2>that I don't know how they're making progress in some

338
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.480
<v Speaker 2>of these other areas.

339
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the point is to make progress, Todd.

340
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the point is to fund non governmental organizations

341
00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and put money in those folks pockets who probably do

342
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>live out in the suburbs and really nice multi hundred

343
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.559
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars homes and enjoy the fruits and benefits of

344
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:10.759
<v Speaker 1>the American taxpayers labor while not accomplishing a single thing.

345
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they're out there actually do anything. I

346
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 1>think they're just out to put money in their own pocket.

347
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's a very the city of Cincinnati is very

348
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.440
<v Speaker 2>high risk when it comes to these nonprofits. So far,

349
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:28.640
<v Speaker 2>they've got leverage support that they give out to the community.

350
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:34.039
<v Speaker 2>That's about fifty groups or so they had. Then they

351
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:38.960
<v Speaker 2>started this Act for SINSI, which is their violence prevention program.

352
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:44.960
<v Speaker 2>That's got another seventy sixty seventy groups, and then the

353
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:51.839
<v Speaker 2>Green Cincinnati Plan has over one hundred groups. Lord that

354
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.720
<v Speaker 2>they are trying to organize or that they all of.

355
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Whom have salaries and need to be funded before any

356
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:02.880
<v Speaker 1>actual work and be done or something can be actually

357
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 1>accomplished out in the world to achieve whatever goal it

358
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:08.039
<v Speaker 1>is they were formed to achieve.

359
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well this is this is this is a very risky,

360
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>risky proposition to have all this city money going out

361
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.680
<v Speaker 2>to all these different groups and nobody's really overseen it.

362
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:22.240
<v Speaker 2>There was a case in Cleveland, for example, where one

363
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 2>of the council members was perpetrating some fraud schemes through

364
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:31.240
<v Speaker 2>these nonprofits in Cleveland the same way. In one case,

365
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 2>he got one of the nonprofits to put his girlfriend

366
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:36.759
<v Speaker 2>on the payroll for five thousand a month. And then

367
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.839
<v Speaker 2>the other case he got is he got a I

368
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:44.880
<v Speaker 2>think a development corporation, a local development corporation, to sell

369
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.200
<v Speaker 2>property to his girlfriend.

370
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.160
<v Speaker 3>That's pauseive. We need an inspector general, is what we

371
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:52.519
<v Speaker 3>need to have.

372
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we definitely need one, Bryan, Yes.

373
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:56.400
<v Speaker 1>We did. We'll bring our inspector general back here after

374
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:57.920
<v Speaker 1>these brief words beginning with cover.

375
00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Since he make the call to cover.

376
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Since you know your medical insurance is expensive, I know

377
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>you've got all times of out of pocket liability. I

378
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:06.920
<v Speaker 1>know they do not claims all the time. I know

379
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>what your copays are. It's a lot. It's a hell

380
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of money.

381
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:09.920
<v Speaker 3>And cover.

382
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Since he is a broker that works with hundreds of

383
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.559
<v Speaker 1>insurance companies, access to thousands of policies.

384
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:19.160
<v Speaker 3>They work for you. One size does not fit all.

385
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:20.000
<v Speaker 3>They know that though.

386
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.240
<v Speaker 1>If you have a small business, they'll talk to every

387
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.559
<v Speaker 1>single employee and prepare package of insurance for each employee's

388
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 1>personal needs. You don't buy group insurance. You go through

389
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:32.640
<v Speaker 1>cover sincey and it works out great for so many

390
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.720
<v Speaker 1>folks businesses, improving the bottom lines and getting employees happy

391
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.759
<v Speaker 1>about the medical insurance coverage coverage that'll actually want and

392
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 1>can use. So you know, it doesn't since it doesn't

<v Speaker 1>Seven thirty two fifty five KR See the talk station

453
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Brian Thomas with citizen Watchdog Todd Zenzer, former Inspector General.

454
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.680
<v Speaker 1>And we have a couple of minutes here, since I

455
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:42.440
<v Speaker 1>suppose the conversation on fiscal responsibility also dovetails into the

456
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.200
<v Speaker 1>attacks on Elon Musk, let's pause on that one's I'm

457
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna give a little bit more attention. You got to,

458
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I know you had something to say about Greg Landsman

459
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>getting in trouble with his failure to report his stockish

460
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 1>or stocks.

461
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, back during the campaign it came out that

462
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.680
<v Speaker 2>he failed to make disclosures for basically his whole first.

463
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Term, as is required under law. Exactly, it's been a

464
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 3>law for a long time, yes, And.

465
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 2>So he came out and said, well, I'm supporting legislation

466
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:14.000
<v Speaker 2>that would prohibit members of Congress from UH trading in stocks. Well,

467
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.519
<v Speaker 2>that went by the wayside. Now the new proposal is

468
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.559
<v Speaker 2>to force members to put all their stock into a

469
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.319
<v Speaker 2>blind trust or something like that, and he supports that,

470
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 2>but in the meantime he had to dump hundreds of

471
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 2>thousands of dollars in stocks in order to walk the

472
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:36.799
<v Speaker 2>walk the talk.

473
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's hilarious. Well they did call him out on

474
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:43.559
<v Speaker 1>it's there to disclose, so and and and through these

475
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:47.119
<v Speaker 1>revelations we also found out that he was invested in

476
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:48.200
<v Speaker 1>defense contractors.

477
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's very hypocritical in terms of in tobacco companies too, right, Yeah,

478
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.519
<v Speaker 2>what what he talks about out on the campaign and

479
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 2>where he puts his money.

480
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 3>So he's not a green investor.

481
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:04.839
<v Speaker 2>No, he's going for the money.

482
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:06.880
<v Speaker 1>He's going for the money, right, And you know, I

483
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:09.680
<v Speaker 1>suppose a prudent investor in spite of the fact whether

484
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:13.680
<v Speaker 1>they like war, appreciate war, want to get out of wars,

485
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.480
<v Speaker 1>knows that the wars are perpetual. We manufacture a lot

486
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.839
<v Speaker 1>of munitions and sell them off to other countries. So raytheon,

487
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:22.279
<v Speaker 1>let's get some money. Rathon.

488
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's funny is that he must know that many

489
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>members of Congress go into Congress with little money and

490
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.960
<v Speaker 2>come out of Congress with a lot of money. And

491
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 2>that's all being done through the stock market. Yep, and

492
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.680
<v Speaker 2>so he's got to know that. So maybe that's why

493
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:46.839
<v Speaker 2>he has been reluctant to dump those stocks last See.

494
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he knows what Congress is going to vote on,

495
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.000
<v Speaker 1>what's coming up with the proposed legislation, is what's likely

496
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:54.799
<v Speaker 1>to pass, and knows where, how which companies are going

497
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:57.960
<v Speaker 1>to benefit as a consequence of it. It's degreased palm

498
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>index that Nathan backg Recking ed Fink and invented before

499
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:05.720
<v Speaker 1>they retired. Whoever had the most lobbying money going into Congress,

500
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 1>they'd pick those companies. They put him in one fund.

501
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how it ended up working out in

502
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 1>terms of return on investment, but something tells me it probably.

503
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:14.559
<v Speaker 3>Worked out pretty well. I would think it did more

504
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:15.240
<v Speaker 3>with Todd Zenzer.

505
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 1>After these brief ward seven thirty five, I cought up

552
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that we talk about, Todd.

553
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Are just mind blowing.

554
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:41.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean it angers me and I just stare and

555
00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:46.039
<v Speaker 1>disbelieve that our elected officials actually go down these various

556
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:48.400
<v Speaker 1>roads that they have gone down, that they disregard the

557
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:50.839
<v Speaker 1>citizens will in the case of High Park. They're pursuing

558
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:53.680
<v Speaker 1>these green agendas with all these hundreds of non governmental

559
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:58.039
<v Speaker 1>organizations without accomplishing a single thing. Hopefully this federal dollars

560
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 1>will dry up. But I think, as you said off air, though,

561
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 1>probably just go ahead and redirect like road road repair

562
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 1>money and critical infrastructure money to continue the pursuit of

563
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.079
<v Speaker 1>a green agenda to the I mean, to the detriment

564
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:12.759
<v Speaker 1>of everybody in every neighborhood in the city.

565
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:14.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's going to be a choice for them

566
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:17.480
<v Speaker 2>down the road when all this federal money drives up

567
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:19.640
<v Speaker 2>and they have to make a decision on what they're

568
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:23.680
<v Speaker 2>going to cut. I don't have a lot of confidence

569
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.319
<v Speaker 2>that they're going to look at the green Cincinnati plane

570
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:28.759
<v Speaker 2>and say, oh, yeah, we don't need that. They're gonna

571
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:30.720
<v Speaker 2>make They're going to continue to make that a priority.

572
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I can't imagine that being a magnet for

573
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:35.519
<v Speaker 1>business and industry if you want to draw people into

574
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the city, you want to allow them to have choices

575
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>about where they live and what they live in, and

576
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:40.920
<v Speaker 1>ability to drive in and out of it so they

577
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 1>can escape it if they need to. Anyhow, And that's

578
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.839
<v Speaker 1>what employees of big incorporations would want to Big corporations

579
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>want to g GE.

580
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, did they move out? They That's right, they did.

581
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:57.240
<v Speaker 3>How's that working that for them? Anyhow?

582
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:00.039
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department just released an additional what they called the

583

584
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.799

585
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>outrage that I know you felt when you saw one

586
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:14.039
<v Speaker 1>of our elected officials, councilwoman, talking about burning teslas and

587
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.359

593
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.359
<v Speaker 1>of lived experience. I don't know what the hell that means,

594
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:37.400
<v Speaker 1>but we just cut two million dollars. It was going

595
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:39.960

596
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:42.200

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:45.440
<v Speaker 1>people I know.

<v Speaker 1>assess the efficacy of police departments, LGBTQ liaison services.

602
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:03.079
<v Speaker 2>WHOA how about that?

603
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:05.440
<v Speaker 1>That's a mouthful six hundred and ninety five grand of

604
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.799
<v Speaker 1>the taxpayer money. Anyway, the list just keeps getting longer

605
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:11.359
<v Speaker 1>and longer, and yet they're out there calling Elon Musk

606
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:15.720
<v Speaker 1>a Nazi and destroying Teslas and Tesla dealerships and Tesla

607
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:20.400
<v Speaker 1>charging stations. Once the darling of the Green agenda now

608
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>is become an evil person because he's pointing this stuff out.

609
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:30.200
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Yeah, When a council member, Anna Albi, when

610
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:33.319
<v Speaker 2>they passed a resolution a couple of weeks ago to

611
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 2>support the federal employees, and then if you look at

612
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 2>the resolution, it basically just slams the administration about cutting

613
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:46.039
<v Speaker 2>this and cutting that, and she was triggered big time

614
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.720
<v Speaker 2>when it came to this. They all get a chance

615
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.000
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the resolution. So when it came to

616
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:57.119
<v Speaker 2>Miss Albi, she said, well, we're all talking very calmly

617
00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:59.599
<v Speaker 2>about this, we should be angry. And she just went

618
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:03.400
<v Speaker 2>off and she started accusing Elon Musk of going around

619
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:07.440
<v Speaker 2>and harming people and harming our community and our residents

620
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:11.920
<v Speaker 2>from top to bottom, and just she she seemed like

621
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:16.279
<v Speaker 2>somebody that might just go out in Kia tesla. That's

622
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the way she seemed to me.

623
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And a guy again, you know, it's like five minutes

624
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:25.279
<v Speaker 1>ago in your life, experience lived experience time was the

625
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.759
<v Speaker 1>darling of the Green agenda, was the greatest guy on

626
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the planet because he invented the best electric vehicle out there,

627
00:33:31.160 --> 00:33:33.240
<v Speaker 1>no more emissions. We're all going to save the world.

628
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 1>And he becomes evil because he shows that there are

629
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.279
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousands of Social Security numbers out there in

630
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the world for people that are over one hundred and twenty.

631
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:47.920
<v Speaker 1>That he reveals all of these insane programs that are

632
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:53.119
<v Speaker 1>on their face absolutely indefensible that he's running. He's endeavoring

633
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to run the federal government more efficiently like a real company,

634
00:33:56.839 --> 00:34:00.759
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to squandering our labor in the form of

635
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 1>taxpayer dollars. That's all bad, all because some federal employee

636
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 1>in a useless department loses their job, they don't cry

637
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:11.840
<v Speaker 1>shed a single tier when some other business fires employees

638
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:14.360
<v Speaker 1>or goes to reorganization. I mean, I used to work

639
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:16.960
<v Speaker 1>for Anthem. I went through three reorgs. They lost people,

640
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:19.360
<v Speaker 1>they changed the departments, they shifted things down, they got

641
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:21.519
<v Speaker 1>rid of middle management. There wasn't an article in the

642
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 1>paper even written about it, and not a tear shed.

643
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Federal employees aren't really doing anything and not even shown

644
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:30.079
<v Speaker 1>up at work. They're out in the street protesting over

645
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:33.719
<v Speaker 1>it and turning Elon Musk into somehow the head of

646
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:36.159
<v Speaker 1>the National Socialist Party well nazi.

647
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, the federal government has already has personnel rules

648
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.599
<v Speaker 2>in place to do everything that's being done. It's not

649
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:49.280
<v Speaker 2>like they've come in and invented things. In fact, they're

650
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:53.039
<v Speaker 2>being very generous with this, the buyout and the way

651
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:57.239
<v Speaker 2>the buyout. Oh sure, and it has to be done.

652
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 2>And for a member of city council to think that

653
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:05.000
<v Speaker 2>we don't spend enough money and that we shouldn't be

654
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:08.400
<v Speaker 2>cutting is just irresponsible.

655
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Listen, two trillion in additional expenditures from the federal government

656
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.199
<v Speaker 1>annually beyond what they spend and take in in taxes.

657
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:23.039
<v Speaker 1>We've dug ourselves into a monumental hole almost thirty seven

658
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:26.039
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollars. The debt service is already a trillion dollars,

659
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:29.519
<v Speaker 1>and someone's advocating to continue down that path. That person

660
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:33.719
<v Speaker 1>is either financially as ignorant as a post or is

661
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:36.920
<v Speaker 1>desirous of the end of the United States of America

662
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:40.000
<v Speaker 1>as we know, because it's going to crash our fiat currency. Yeah,

663
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:43.639
<v Speaker 1>she came off as a nefarious or stupid in either

664
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:44.719
<v Speaker 1>case stupid.

665
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:47.639
<v Speaker 2>It's very emotional, no question about that.

666
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:50.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's continue with Todd's zenser one more segment. I wish

00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:54.880
<v Speaker 1>former Inspector General. Citizen Watchdog is his podcast check it out.

707
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:57.480
<v Speaker 1>He's one of the few sources of information that we

708
00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:59.840
<v Speaker 1>get like this, and I am just I feel blessed

709
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:01.519
<v Speaker 1>to be in a position to let folks know about it.

710
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I think so few people really realize how our city

711
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:11.639
<v Speaker 1>is being governed and what their objectives are, and they

712
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:14.800
<v Speaker 1>seem to have nothing to do with the day to

713
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>day lives of the people that live in the city

714
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:17.480
<v Speaker 1>of Cincinnati.

715
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Todd, Yeah, looking at this green Cincinnati Planet's almost as

716
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:25.039
<v Speaker 2>if there's two different efforts in the city. One is

717
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:30.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of the police, and fire, sewers, water, and then

718
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:33.079
<v Speaker 2>there's this other group that's doing all these things about

719
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:36.159
<v Speaker 2>the climate and it's kind of behind the scenes for

720
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the most part. Yeah, and it's very well funded, very

721
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:45.360
<v Speaker 2>well staffed, and it's energy and effort on the part

722
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:48.320
<v Speaker 2>of the city staff that could be redeployed to help

723
00:38:48.360 --> 00:38:51.280
<v Speaker 2>with these core services. Exactly, Brian.

724
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, our infrastructure is falling apart, and they're always

725
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:56.719
<v Speaker 1>complaining about insufficient dollars. L was, what is that? What

726
00:38:56.760 --> 00:39:00.400
<v Speaker 1>are the motivations for selling the railroad? Absolutely, and then

727
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:03.440
<v Speaker 1>we find out there's tens of millions of dollars being

728
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:06.079
<v Speaker 1>thrown out there to hundreds of organizations for the purpose

729
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:10.280
<v Speaker 1>of achieving some inachievable or unachievable climate goal.

730
00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, and the workforce keeps getting bigger.

731
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Along those lines. Along those they're not hiring more people

732
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to fix the roads or keep things sewn together.

733
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.599
<v Speaker 2>The hiring is going on in the city manager's office

734
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and in the administrative staff in city Hall.

735
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:35.679
<v Speaker 1>If we can get people to apply for the job,

736
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, think of all the additional police officers we

737
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:41.320
<v Speaker 1>can have. We can have a full contingent of police officers. Yeah,

738
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:44.360
<v Speaker 1>that is a mystery to me why they're not fully staffed.

739
00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:47.519
<v Speaker 1>They seem to have this you know, one hundred or

740
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:52.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and so deficit in terms of vacancies, and

741
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.239
<v Speaker 1>it's just does I don't really understand it or pay

742
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:56.000
<v Speaker 1>them more?

743
00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:59.239
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, I mean the police officers.

744
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.960
<v Speaker 1>If you want to get more people of quality and

745
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:07.159
<v Speaker 1>caliber that meet whatever expectations you have from a police officer,

746
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:11.199
<v Speaker 1>if you just put that nonsensical expenditure of money that's

747
00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:14.800
<v Speaker 1>going into I don't know whatever green project, and you

748
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:17.400
<v Speaker 1>just offer them they need it for five, five thousand

749
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:20.000
<v Speaker 1>or ten thousand dollars extra year, you might get more

750
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 1>people signed up.

751
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:23.599
<v Speaker 2>For the job. Yeah. Well, they're not doing things to

752
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:27.719
<v Speaker 2>attract candidates to the police force. In fact, they have this,

753
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:31.679
<v Speaker 2>they have this defund the police effort going on with

754
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:36.599
<v Speaker 2>three one one where they've hired what they call community responders. Yeah,

755
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and they're sending those folks out to some of these

756
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:41.079
<v Speaker 2>scenes instead of the police.

757
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

758
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Not armed, not prepared, not trained law enforcement officers are

759
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:49.400
<v Speaker 1>more like defusers or counselors or something.

760
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're supposed to be mental health counselors and things

761
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:52.159
<v Speaker 2>like that.

762
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, talk to some cop when things go sideways? Are

763
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you gonna want a real cop there? You're gonna want

764
00:40:56.480 --> 00:40:58.320
<v Speaker 1>someone who's gonna talk about your feelings.

765
00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it seems to me if they want to do that,

766
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.480
<v Speaker 2>it should be under the police department, and and that

767
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 2>would be a position that they could use to develop

768
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.840
<v Speaker 2>and recruit more police officers. Have him start out as

769
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:11.840
<v Speaker 2>these community responders and recruit them for the police force.

770
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:16.320
<v Speaker 3>That's an excellent idea. Gee imagine that, Oh, Todd, I'm

771
00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:17.280
<v Speaker 3>not quite sure where to go.

772
00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:20.800
<v Speaker 1>You are supporting Corey Bowman though, I want to absolutely absolutely.

773
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Corey is very down to earth. I think he has

774
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:27.519
<v Speaker 2>very very good intentions, and I think he wants to

775
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:29.119
<v Speaker 2>be a good mayor.

776
00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I've met him so many times, and

777
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:35.639
<v Speaker 1>he is a good man. Yes, you know, he's a

778
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:38.360
<v Speaker 1>sincere human being. I think he would be open to

779
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:40.960
<v Speaker 1>some of the concepts that you talked about today. He

780
00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:45.280
<v Speaker 1>does absolutely want to better the city in terms of

781
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:49.559
<v Speaker 1>taking care of infrastructure and making things well easier to develop.

782
00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:51.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he experienced his own problems in his own

783
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:53.840
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood with developers who wanted to come in and do

784
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:56.639
<v Speaker 1>some good for the neighborhood, only to be stopped by

785
00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the City of Cincinnati.

786
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, he's not going to be like arm mayor

787
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:03.960
<v Speaker 2>that it always seems that the mayor is auditioning for something,

788
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:06.840
<v Speaker 2>or that he's trying to get his ticket punched by

789
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:10.880
<v Speaker 2>the National Party or by somebody in Washington. That there

790
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:13.239
<v Speaker 2>is an agenda out there, we just don't know exactly

791
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:14.679
<v Speaker 2>what it all includes.

792
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, and fortunately we have u Toadzender to talk about

793
00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:20.159
<v Speaker 1>what the agenda is behind the scenes, that they are

794
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:23.320
<v Speaker 1>in fact pushing real time right now and where the

795
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:28.440
<v Speaker 1>valuable and finite taxpayer dollars are actually being sent. Well,

796
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:31.039
<v Speaker 1>one can only keep our fingers crossed that that evil

797
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:35.000
<v Speaker 1>man Elon Musk will finally shut down massive quantities of

798
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:38.079
<v Speaker 1>cash for these stupid green programs and those people will

799
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:41.239
<v Speaker 1>have to go out and find real jobs. Toddsenzer get

803
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:51.360
<v Speaker 1>accomplish getting through all the issues. But I cannot thank
