Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here, glad to be, Glad to see
Speaker 1: Joe s Jrecory belongs in the Executi producer both and
Speaker 1: looking forward to the morning show. Got some great guests
Speaker 1: lined up. Thank you, Joe Strecker. It is Wednesday means
Speaker 1: seven o five. We get the big picture with Jack
Speaker 1: added in one of the segments, I just really dearly
Speaker 1: enjoy today subject matter. Who else was not considered? Presidential?
Speaker 1: Donoinant the Americans for Prosperity Every Wednesday seven thirty veto
Speaker 1: overrides and what is the Governor's working Group? The americanss
Speaker 1: Bardi yesterday announced say they commended the Ohio House Representatives
Speaker 1: for voting to override Governor Wines veto of key property
Speaker 1: tax reforms in the House Bill ninety six sixty one
Speaker 1: to twenty eight vote restoring fairness and accountability. According to
Speaker 1: the Statement for Americans for Prosperity, so the property tax relief,
Speaker 1: the little baby step measures for property tax relief that
Speaker 1: were in the budget bill that Governor de wined for
Speaker 1: reasons unknown to most people of vetoed back in play.
Speaker 1: Get the details from Donovan on that, and then also
Speaker 1: again what is the governor's working group? In studio Marcel Sturbitch,
Speaker 1: he is running for Ohio Secretary of State. Apparently he's
Speaker 1: got a pretty decent war chest to these buildings well,
Speaker 1: so in studio we'll learn about what he is all about.
Speaker 1: And Jack Windsor, we've had Jack on several quite a
Speaker 1: few times, editor in chief of the Howl Press Network.
Speaker 1: Jack joins the program today a thirty no judge of
Speaker 1: Paulton and is on vacation. Happy to have Jack in
Speaker 1: as a substitute. House failure to override two of the
Speaker 1: property tax fetas, so sort of a handoff from Donald
Speaker 1: anil over to Jack on the other overrides. So that's
Speaker 1: your lineup for this morning, and looking forward to having
Speaker 1: his guests on the program. Always looking forward to hearing
Speaker 1: from you as well. If you'd like to call five
Speaker 1: one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred
Speaker 1: eighty two three Talk found five fifty on anti ant phone. Joe,
Speaker 1: do you think counsel and the Mayor have been listening
Speaker 1: to the Morning show and Christopher Smithman Smythervan on crime?
Speaker 1: You doubt it? Yeah, I do too, although you think
Speaker 1: it might be a natural reaction since their meeting today
Speaker 1: to address crime in the City of Cincinnati. Christopher, among others,
Speaker 1: accusing the City of Cincinnati Council some members as well
Speaker 1: as the Mayor for putting it ahead in the center
Speaker 1: otherwise hiding in the closet and not coming out and
Speaker 1: talking about and addressing the problem, not saying anything in
Speaker 1: support of the police. Crime statistics depends on who you
Speaker 1: listen to. Some are up, summer down, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to go with up because Mayor have toab Parowell has
Speaker 1: finally called a special meeting for since a city Council
Speaker 1: taking place today to discuss ways to reduce crime, most
Speaker 1: notably and particularly in over the Rhine as well as downtown.
Speaker 1: Calling back from the summer recess, Jeff forward to meet
Speaker 1: the motion tho specific data. This is July twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: signed by Mayor have to have pro volve we move
Speaker 1: these said that the city administration take the following action
Speaker 1: to address public safety and reduce crime, particularly in downtown
Speaker 1: and over the Rhine areas. Colon one enforced the city
Speaker 1: wide curfew. Well, that in and of itself poses a problem.
Speaker 1: If you're suggesting the police need to enforce the existing
Speaker 1: city wide curfew, and why wouldn't they. There needs to
Speaker 1: be a place to put the juveniles and courts willing
Speaker 1: to prosecute them and judges willing to hold them. There
Speaker 1: isn't or there aren't any places, at least that's what
Speaker 1: we've been led to believe. It goes on. Number two,
Speaker 1: Review the current curfew ordinances and provide recommendations for the ages,
Speaker 1: times and locations of unsupervised miners. Number three, coordinate and
Speaker 1: act with SINCI police, community and external partners a strategy
Speaker 1: around curfew enforcement for unsupervised miners. Update and restrict the
Speaker 1: hours the city parks for unsupervised miners to nine pm
Speaker 1: to nine am. Review and provide recommendations to the parking
Speaker 1: license program. Review and provide recommendations for expanding and geographic
Speaker 1: That does the time and geographic footprint for the twenty
Speaker 1: one plus permit at the banks. That's that Dora thing.
Speaker 1: Review and provide recommendations for increased public police visibility in
Speaker 1: over the Rhine Banks and downtown. And finally number eight
Speaker 1: provider review in timeline for the police lateral class that
Speaker 1: of course would be the seasoned officers two plus years experience.
Speaker 1: The City of Cincinnati's trying to hire away from other
Speaker 1: police forces all across the country. Anyway, this special meeting
Speaker 1: taking place today, we already have a ten pm to
Speaker 1: five am curfew for unccompanied miners under the age of sixteen,
Speaker 1: midnight to five am for people sixteen eighteen. Mayor describe
Speaker 1: the enforcement of the curfew being tricky. Quote, the curfew
Speaker 1: is absolutely on the table and a tool that we
Speaker 1: can deploy. Obviously, there's a lot of logistical challenges with
Speaker 1: detaining kids, holding them until their parents can pick them
Speaker 1: up or until they can be transported home. Some of
Speaker 1: the logistics coming over from the legal side, the judicial
Speaker 1: side of the law enforcement well is a pyramid. Anyway,
Speaker 1: if you want to show up meeting, he's going to
Speaker 1: be at noon. And since they council chambers on Plump Street,
Speaker 1: so in addition to the curfew, council is going to
Speaker 1: be discussing putting more restrictions on when youth can be
Speaker 1: in parks and the bank's entertainment complex, as well as
Speaker 1: ways to increase police visibility. Purve All said, quote, I
Speaker 1: think it's important to have a public opportunity for council
Speaker 1: members to ask questions, tough questions, and really provide a
Speaker 1: pressure test on strategies that we're deploying. What the hell
Speaker 1: does that mean? And I can speak for the chief
Speaker 1: and the city manager that would welcome that kind of scrutiny.
Speaker 1: And this is an all hands on deck situation. I
Speaker 1: guess he's a little worried crime must be up. He
Speaker 1: also said, I think I've seen I've been regularly updating
Speaker 1: you that we are working right now with our various
Speaker 1: partners to make sure that when we do enforce the curfew,
Speaker 1: that we're doing it in the most effective and just way. Obviously,
Speaker 1: that suggests an acknowledgement that they're not enforcing the Curseee
Speaker 1: when we enforce the curfew, is this sort of a
Speaker 1: you know, occasionally we do sometimes we pick and choose
Speaker 1: whether or not to enforce the curfew. Again, I go
Speaker 1: back to the police department. It's an exercise of futility.
Speaker 1: If they go through the steps and process it takes
Speaker 1: to enforce the curfew. Identify the youth the individual for
Speaker 1: confirm that they're under the age. They're well, they're caught
Speaker 1: up within the curfew age limit. I guess, write them
Speaker 1: a citation, put them in the back of the police car,
Speaker 1: take them over to the juvenile detention facility where they're
Speaker 1: let out because there's no room there. Does that make
Speaker 1: any sense when we enforce the curfew? Now, I'm just
Speaker 1: going to go back to my own personal experience growing up.
Speaker 1: Who is responsible for enforcing curfews when you were young?
Speaker 1: You know the answer to that question? Would we need
Speaker 1: a curfew if we had parents at home that were
Speaker 1: really concerned about what their children are doing at three
Speaker 1: o'clock in the blanket morning. You live in a house,
Speaker 1: so you got a fifteen year old and they're not
Speaker 1: home at three o'clock in the morning, would you abide that?
Speaker 1: I just man. Anyhow, let's see here. Violent crime across
Speaker 1: the city reportedly down three percent compared to last year.
Speaker 1: Number of shooting victims believe it or not, they say,
Speaker 1: down twenty five percent from three years ago. Yet overall crime,
Speaker 1: including non violent property crimes up forty six percent in
Speaker 1: over the Rhine in downtown, including a twelve percent uptick
Speaker 1: and violent crime according to police statistics. Thank you to
Speaker 1: Scott Warman over the Sense Inquire for documenting that and
Speaker 1: reporting on it. So I guess the positive in all
Speaker 1: this is the council is actually awake, or at least
Speaker 1: the mayor is awake, so much so that he's bringing
Speaker 1: it back from summer recess. They have a special meeting
Speaker 1: on crime fighting in the city and talk about the proposals.
Speaker 1: I'll keep my popcorn out and we'll see what since
Speaker 1: Ana Council members say in so far as what their
Speaker 1: ideas are for dealing with what seems to be primarily
Speaker 1: youth crime, gangs of rowthing youth, and they seem to
Speaker 1: be everywhere. This isn't just a City of Cincinnati problem.
Speaker 1: This is going on all across this country. Of course,
Speaker 1: social media makes it very easy for all the youth
Speaker 1: to get together and communicate and coordinate and hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: show up. We're going to meet here and we're going
Speaker 1: to cause three forms of holy help. That just to
Speaker 1: me is the boiled down reality of what we're dealing
Speaker 1: with with youth crime. And again going back to the
Speaker 1: reality that if you have parents that care, they're not
Speaker 1: out during curfew hours. And I guess you know, moving
Speaker 1: back from that and recognizing that as the primary problem,
Speaker 1: does anybody think a politician can solve it? Seriously? Five
Speaker 1: point fifteen fit five kr C the talk station five one, three, seven,
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two
Speaker 1: to three talk O pound five fifty on at and
Speaker 1: T founds for free to give me a call. I
Speaker 1: love to hear from you. If you've got something you
Speaker 1: want to talk about. I'll be right back after these.
Speaker 3: Preeffords fifty five KRC.
Speaker 1: Ozzy has left the building. If he was around longer
Speaker 1: than Lummy though Joe, Joe suggests that he's jamming with
Speaker 1: Lemmy right now in the Great Beyond. It seems like
Speaker 1: a counterintuitive to suggests he's in heaven, though Joe, given
Speaker 1: that he was the Prince of Darkness just saying, oh, look,
Speaker 1: I guess the terrorists art is bad? Is the problem
Speaker 1: is we we thought he's Donald Trump and asked he's
Speaker 1: secured a deal with Japan. Sounds like a pretty hell
Speaker 1: of a deal here, massive five hundred and fifty billion
Speaker 1: dollar deals in rechar of Japan, Trump said yesterday, claiming
Speaker 1: he's going to create hundred of thousands of jobs. Quote,
Speaker 1: We just completed a massive deal with Japan, perhaps the
Speaker 1: largest deal ever made. Japan will invest, at my direction,
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty billion dollars into the United States,
Speaker 1: which will receive ninety percent of the profits. This deal
Speaker 1: will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. There's never anything
Speaker 1: like close. Quote. Apparently, according to Trump, Japan's going to
Speaker 1: be opening its country to trade and things like cars, trucks,
Speaker 1: rice and other agricultural products. Rice has been a real
Speaker 1: stickler sticky point for Japan. They like to buy their
Speaker 1: own rice, and when they have shortages, California can step
Speaker 1: up and provide rice. We do grow a lot of
Speaker 1: rice here in the United States, but that's been a
Speaker 1: challenge with Japan. I said. This is a very exciting
Speaker 1: time for the United States of American, especially for the
Speaker 1: fact that we will continue to always have a great
Speaker 1: relationship with the country of Japan, calling it the largest
Speaker 1: trade deal in history, claiming Japan's top people were at
Speaker 1: the White House and they worked for many hours to
Speaker 1: get it done. Do what Japan comes about two weeks
Speaker 1: after trumping out the wee United States would be imposing
Speaker 1: in twenty five percent tariffs on goods imported from Japan.
Speaker 1: I guess that threat ultimately or fruit in the form
Speaker 1: of formalizing a trade agreement with them. Those levees expecting
Speaker 1: to take effect August first, if Japan raised hair some retaliation,
Speaker 1: which apparently they are not going to be doing. Trump
Speaker 1: told Japan that there would be there will be no
Speaker 1: tariff if companies in Japan decided to build or manufacture
Speaker 1: products within the United States. And in fact, we will
Speaker 1: do everything possible to get approvals quickly, professionally and routine lying,
Speaker 1: in other words, in a matter of weeks, so smoothing
Speaker 1: over the presumably regulatory hurdles for Japan to perform this
Speaker 1: investment five hundred and fifty billion dollars worth and not
Speaker 1: too bad Philippines got to deal with. The Philippines called
Speaker 1: President Ferdinand Marcos Junior a tough negotiator. Trump did while
Speaker 1: announcing that he had secured a zero tariff deal to
Speaker 1: open free trade for the export of American goods in
Speaker 1: the Philippines. Philippines, for their part, will be paying nineteen
Speaker 1: percent tariffs to export goods and services to the American
Speaker 1: According to Trump yesterday on social media, President Ferdinand Marcus
Speaker 1: or the Philippines is just leaving the White House with
Speaker 1: all of his many representatives. It was a big, beautiful
Speaker 1: visit and we concluded our trade deal whereby the Philippines
Speaker 1: is going to open market with the United States and
Speaker 1: zero tariffs. Now the reason perhaps he was able to
Speaker 1: negotiate a deal with Philippines paying nineteen percent with with
Speaker 1: with US paying nothing on theirs. The deal comes with
Speaker 1: a joint military agreement. Of course, Philippines a hotbed of
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party activity there in the South China.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 1: I suppose it's a bit of an existential threat for
Speaker 1: the Philippines of the Chinese around they need us, he said.
Speaker 1: In addition, we will work together militarily. It was a
Speaker 1: great honor to be with the President Marcus. He is
Speaker 1: highly respected in his country, as he should be, who
Speaker 1: suggested that the military agreement with the Philippines is important
Speaker 1: for American national security in the region and worldwide, again
Speaker 1: as a counter to the Chinese Communist Party's threat in
Speaker 1: the region. The trader deals bearing some fruit. We're all
Speaker 1: got our popcorn out waiting to see if the bottom
Speaker 1: is going to fall out of it, because you know,
Speaker 1: all the political pundits in the naysayers have been going,
Speaker 1: oh my god, these terrofts are going to ruin US.
Speaker 1: But by all accounts, no concerns about recession. The markets
Speaker 1: are up interestingly enough, the earning support seem to be
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. All things being considered, there doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to be a whole lot of bad, terrible news, economic devastation.
Speaker 1: You know, the bottom is going to fall out, We're
Speaker 1: all gonna die, Oh my god. I mean, they kind
Speaker 1: of want you to believe that, and they'll say it
Speaker 1: over and over again, hoping that your confidence in the
Speaker 1: American economy, well thanks, hoping that perhaps your trust and
Speaker 1: faith and Donald Trump as a president and as a leader,
Speaker 1: well thanks to the extent you have that confidence. It's
Speaker 1: continuing effort to undermine Trump and what he's trying to do.
Speaker 1: But amid the landscape and of course the rhetoric with
Speaker 1: regard to Donald Trump, you got to look at the
Speaker 1: actual numbers and the data and the information which suggests
Speaker 1: we seem to be on the right track. I know
Speaker 1: that's troubling for the Trump haters out there. But oh
Speaker 1: and the other thing I saw, Yes, this is Quinnipiac, Paul.
Speaker 1: It was really kind of funny about thirty questions and
Speaker 1: everything was you know, do you have confidence in you know,
Speaker 1: you got Congress, the House Representative, Senate, the presidents, on
Speaker 1: and on all these topics, and most everyone came out.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was almost like over and over and
Speaker 1: over again in terms of whether you have confidence or
Speaker 1: you have a positive attitude or a negative attitude towards
Speaker 1: any given issue, whether it's Epstein files being released or
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Generally, it was always like maybe six
Speaker 1: negative and thirty ish positive, over and over and over again,
Speaker 1: depending on the issue. Just kind of laughed at it
Speaker 1: because it didn't matter what the question is. People's attitudes
Speaker 1: came across as negative. And they broke it down by
Speaker 1: party as well, And of course, depending on any given issue,
Speaker 1: the Republicans would have positive or the Democrats would have
Speaker 1: negative or flip depending on the subject matter. But overall,
Speaker 1: negativity was pervasive in the Quinnipiac survey, which I guess
Speaker 1: if you're staring at the news every single day, it's
Speaker 1: easy to walk away with a negative opinion. But amid
Speaker 1: all of these claims of negativity and all of the press,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to paint Trump into a corner, otherwise
Speaker 1: paint this bleak economic picture. The numbers don't support that conclusion.
Speaker 1: Five twenty six, Ja, you are on the phone. I
Speaker 1: will be happy to take your call, my friend, out
Speaker 1: of time in the segment, but I we'll look forward
Speaker 1: to taking that call right out of the gate before
Speaker 1: we get the local stories coming up next. Fifty five
Speaker 1: the tox datalk station five two three talk if I
Speaker 1: fifty on ATNT phone, I promise JD first, Tom hang on,
Speaker 1: get your call in a second. Jay, thanks for holding
Speaker 1: over the break there. Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5: Hey, thanks Brian. Hey, that is some great news coming
Speaker 5: out of Japan. Yeah, with that, with that deal, if
Speaker 5: we are going to pick up on some volume for
Speaker 5: auto and truck manufacturing over here, number one.
Speaker 6: Uh, I'm I'm shocked that I don't hear like Ohio
Speaker 6: like chasing after that at our politicians and leaders and
Speaker 6: economic development.
Speaker 5: There there's no news on that. And it's make our
Speaker 5: senators to do more too. I mean, that would be
Speaker 5: the time I've talked before about if you want to
Speaker 5: give automakers a boost, get rid of Jimmy Carter's cafe standards,
Speaker 5: get rid of Barack Obama's carbon as a as an
Speaker 5: emission as a pollutant, and get rid of Al Gore's
Speaker 5: carbon offsets. And but I know John, I know Bernie
Speaker 5: Marino is focus. He's got his hands full. He's embroiled
Speaker 5: in this name change with the Cleveland Guardians, the Indians.
Speaker 4: He was on.
Speaker 5: Breitbart, that was his big topic. So I think that
Speaker 5: our politicians and economic development people need to get busy
Speaker 5: and get moving because this ensuring may not last forever.
Speaker 5: It will not last forever.
Speaker 1: It'll be alone.
Speaker 5: It seems like it will be here as long as
Speaker 5: Trump is here. And again we've got Rolls Royce Aircraft Engines.
Speaker 5: Would we'd like to be the aerospace capital of the
Speaker 5: world data Cincinnati. I think that would be fantastic. I
Speaker 5: think they ought to start making some green space. I
Speaker 5: see Louisiana and other states winning on. Like the last
Speaker 5: time Hyundai and some other automakers were in sourcing, it
Speaker 5: seemed like we were asleep at the switch. So for us, fantastic.
Speaker 5: For Ohio, wake the hell up and focus on right thing.
Speaker 5: Get your head out of sports and given free money
Speaker 5: to the Browns and Clayland the Guardians.
Speaker 1: A name change back to the Indians.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's real issues out there, fellas.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Jay now I'm i'm I'll defend
Speaker 1: them in the sense that it's it's clickbait topic to
Speaker 1: talk about the name changes because people who aren't paying
Speaker 1: attention to politics on a level that you would pay
Speaker 1: attention to, you know, the weed dwellers that we are,
Speaker 1: are drawn to a story about the name change of
Speaker 1: these very like the Redskins for example, of the Indians
Speaker 1: for example. It's that's easy clickbait and Bernie Marina is
Speaker 1: all over that look. And I understand it might be
Speaker 1: a somewhat compelling topic to talk about because it's a
Speaker 1: little more interesting than what's going on behind the scenes
Speaker 1: with our efforts to get Japan or any other country
Speaker 1: to invest in Ohio. Not exactly a sexy topic. Now,
Speaker 1: that isn't to say, or that's not to say it's
Speaker 1: not going on. It's just that is there is it
Speaker 1: a worthwhile thing to report on that you know, Bernie
Speaker 1: Marina is behind the scenes reaching out to you know,
Speaker 1: Japan or you folks from Japan or interest in Japan
Speaker 1: to try to bring some of that investment into the
Speaker 1: state of Ohio. It may be going on. It's just
Speaker 1: I would I would.
Speaker 5: I would love to confirm that, man, you and Joe
Speaker 5: do a fantastic job. Somebody else will call up, called
Speaker 5: in and said, sometimes it's shocking. We'll have a conversation
Speaker 5: with you, and then like the next day or two.
Speaker 4: There's like follow up.
Speaker 5: And this isn't a demand, this is a compliment that
Speaker 5: uh as you say, I'll keep my popcorn out and
Speaker 5: see if the adults ever show up and talk about
Speaker 5: what they're doing with economic development less about sports. So yeah,
Speaker 5: I would love to hear that.
Speaker 1: Well, keep your fingers crossed and I'll just look forward
Speaker 1: to the future with vv where Ramas Swami, I mean,
Speaker 1: he is all over making Ohio the most you know,
Speaker 1: energy abundant energy producer. Now, if that would bear fruit
Speaker 1: and we could become a manufacturer of inexpensive energy nuke plans,
Speaker 1: modular nukes, well however we achieve it, that would be
Speaker 1: a huge draw. Also lowering our income tax that just happened.
Speaker 1: That's a draw for businesses. So that's a step in
Speaker 1: the right direction. So we can't I can't expect everything overnight.
Speaker 1: But once we make our state more attractive to outside
Speaker 1: development than they're comparing us to Texas and Florida and
Speaker 1: some of these other uh, more of a magnet states
Speaker 1: because of their economic policies, we'll be on a competitive
Speaker 1: playing field. It's gonna take some time to get there,
Speaker 1: but I'll take whatever we can get, baby steps at
Speaker 1: a time. Appreciate it. Jay Tom, welcome in the morning show,
Speaker 1: my friend. Good to hear from me. Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, good good morning. And as yes, as long as
Speaker 7: we are moving in the right direction, we all like
Speaker 7: it to be a little quicker, but yeah, we're definitely
Speaker 7: moving in the right direction. Imagine that all the all
Speaker 7: the things that the Democrats said turned out to be lies.
Speaker 7: Uh Who who saw that coming? Who called who called that?
Speaker 7: Other than everybody that's not a Democrat. So yeah, all
Speaker 7: this all this hand ringing, and these these people know,
Speaker 7: I mean a lot of these people, they make money,
Speaker 7: They know how money is made. They just want to
Speaker 7: be the ones that call the shots. They want to
Speaker 7: be the ones with their hands on the levers of power, uh,
Speaker 7: and controlling where the money goes, and and it pisses
Speaker 7: them off that that Trump's the one controlling that he's
Speaker 7: getting it done, and so they got to come up
Speaker 7: with anything and everything. We're gonna hear more crap over
Speaker 7: the next year leading up to the mid terms than
Speaker 7: we've ever heard before. And when you know, we we
Speaker 7: heard a bunch of stuff, you know, in the previous elections,
Speaker 7: and it just kept ramping up and ramping up, and
Speaker 7: it's only gonna get worse. We got to get rid
Speaker 7: of more Democrats. Uh so that that the majority in
Speaker 7: the House is bigger and stronger. It's it's very I mean,
Speaker 7: it's razor thin right now. And instead of concentrating on
Speaker 7: on somebody like Thomas Massey and Kentucky, the Republicans need
Speaker 7: to concentrate on getting rid of more Democrats. Get them
Speaker 7: out of there. You know, you want to keep a
Speaker 7: few around just just for comedy, relief, whatever. But we've
Speaker 7: got to get rid of Democrats. So pay attention to
Speaker 7: what's going on. And the economic news is good, it's
Speaker 7: very good, and it shows we're on the right direction.
Speaker 7: And please, for God's sake, don't vote Democrat.
Speaker 4: Have a great day, run you too.
Speaker 1: Tom appreciate hearing from you five thirty six right now,

Speaker 1: at the Walmart and mobulists. They believe it was an
Speaker 1: active shooter situation. When they got there and they realized no,
Speaker 1: it wasn't an active shooting situation. Someone had been assaulted
Speaker 1: inside the store, they said. The suspect, thirty two year
Speaker 1: old Kiera Carter, walked into the wal Mart, picked up
Speaker 1: a crowbar and a butcher knife and then began began
Speaker 1: attacking a woman. Why are you doing that? No idea
Speaker 1: and we'll ever find out, official said. Carter chased the
Speaker 1: woman through the store. She actually cut a man across
Speaker 1: the abdomen with the butcher knife. That guy tried to
Speaker 1: take the crowbar it from her. Thorty said neither of
Speaker 1: the victims knew this Carter person. Victims both taking a
Speaker 1: Whitfield Regional Hospital. The woman treated and released. The man
Speaker 1: had to be flown to the UAB Hospital for further treatment.
Speaker 1: Police arrested Carter after intercepting her vehicle on the highway,
Speaker 1: charged with first and second degree assault. That's it, just
Speaker 1: walk away, wonderful conclusion, or maybe just don't go to
Speaker 1: Walmart's a lot of trouble at Walmart's. Man accused of
Speaker 1: biting a police officer after allegedly stealing from right a
Speaker 1: Walmart Charlotte, North Carolina. Fifty three year old Victor Roberts
Speaker 1: arrested after police said he stole two hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: eight dollars worth of beer, chicken detergent, and other items
Speaker 1: from the Walmart in Charlotte. Officers found Roberts sitting in
Speaker 1: his car at the Walmart parking lot and he asked
Speaker 1: him to get out of the car. He allegedly refused
Speaker 1: and began reaching around, telling them that he's had a gun.
Speaker 1: Some point, Robert allegedly told police officers that he would
Speaker 1: shoot them. One officer allegedly grabbed robertson pulled him out
Speaker 1: of the car as he continually reached for an officer's
Speaker 1: firearm from his holster. Affidavid claims Roberts also bit an
Speaker 1: officer in the left hand an arm, leaving scratches and marks.
Speaker 1: After being arrested, police found a glass pipe intended for
Speaker 1: ingesting cocaine in his car. Roberts charged with assault with
Speaker 1: the deadly weapon with intent to kill, causing physical injury
Speaker 1: to law enforcement officer, resisting a public officer, possession of
Speaker 1: drug paraphernalia, and misdemeanor larceny for stealing the beer and chicken,
Speaker 1: and detertion. Wow too bad, don't have an affordable imaging
Speaker 1: services commercial. We had a family of a man who died.
Speaker 1: He got sucked into an MRI machine four point thirty
Speaker 1: pm Local time last Wednesday, just sixty one year old
Speaker 1: man later identified as Keith Mcallison, entered an MRI room
Speaker 1: during a scan in Westbury, New York. Accord to the
Speaker 1: Nassau County Police and the STATEVID, the victim was wearing
Speaker 1: a large metallic chain around his neck, causing him to
Speaker 1: be drawn into the machine, which resulted in the meta
Speaker 1: episode taking a local hospital critical condition. Died the next day.
Speaker 1: His wife said that she had had an MRI on
Speaker 1: her knee and called the technician to let her husband
Speaker 1: in to help her get back up. Afterward, Outlet reported
Speaker 1: the technician Ali McAllister inside even though he was wearing
Speaker 1: a twenty pound chain around his neck, Do what the hell? Okay,
Speaker 1: wife said In that instant, the machine switched him around,
Speaker 1: pulled him in, and he hit the MRI. Shee and
Speaker 1: the tech tried to pull him away. They were un successfully.
Speaker 1: She said, I was just saying, could you turn off
Speaker 1: the machine? Call nine to one one, do something. Turn
Speaker 1: this damn thing off. That was not the first time
Speaker 1: the guy had seen that chain. They had a conversation
Speaker 1: about it before. Noted, the actation has typically asked to
Speaker 1: remove any metal electric electrical objects from their person before
Speaker 1: undergoing an MRI. MRI machines use powerful magnets to scan
Speaker 1: bodies for disease. Wow, twenty pounds, that one, I believe
Speaker 1: is still an investigation five forty six right now? If
Speaker 1: you abou KRC DETALKX station should be an affordable imaging
Speaker 1: services commercial right now because they do MRIs there, but
Speaker 1: it's not. It's QC Kinetics. If you've got pain, k

Speaker 1: Five fifty fifty five K see de talk station. I
Speaker 1: saw back the other night. It was okay, second time
Speaker 1: we've seen and we liked the first time. We saw
Speaker 1: him much better. He played with the Sinsinny Symphony Orchestra,
Speaker 1: though for the first half of the show, which was
Speaker 1: rather interesting. Anyway, back over to the stack of stupid.
Speaker 1: This is a this is really truly bizarre. After calling
Speaker 1: police to complain that a woman refused to leave his home,
Speaker 1: a Louisiana man, unsure if you as trespasser was still
Speaker 1: inside his home, asked officers to search his property and,
Speaker 1: in his words, clear his residence. Cop said fine. They
Speaker 1: agreed to take a look at the West Monroe home
Speaker 1: of Marcus Gilroy, sixty years old, in search of the
Speaker 1: woman that he claimed was named Aretha. They didn't locate Aretha. However,
Speaker 1: while searching his home at his request, investigators discovered three
Speaker 1: child size sex dolls in his bedroom to what the
Speaker 1: hell dolls in the corner of the police report lying
Speaker 1: on and near the bed. Upon finding the dolls, police
Speaker 1: obtained a warrant to search his home. During the execution
Speaker 1: of the search warrant, an anatomically correct sex doll of
Speaker 1: an infant, two what the hell, and two anatomically correct
Speaker 1: dolls resembling children under the age of thirteen were recovered.
Speaker 1: During police questioning, he repeatedly admitted ownersh of the three dolls,
Speaker 1: which he purchased online, stating he quote has had sex
Speaker 1: with each of the dolls multiple times close quote Gilroy Corney.
Speaker 1: Police also admitted, well, I'm not even gonna read that line.
Speaker 1: Gilroy arrested possession, trafficking and importing of child sex doll,
Speaker 1: which is described as a felony. Also charged possession of
Speaker 1: marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Rap sheet includes bus for theft, battery, forgery,
Speaker 1: narcotics possession, and yet, in spite of the history, he
Speaker 1: didn't hesitate to invite the police into his home.
Speaker 10: Period.
Speaker 2: The biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies,
Speaker 2: there's no bigger douche than you. You've reached the top,
Speaker 2: the pinnacle of douche dum. Good going doue, your dreams
Speaker 2: have come true.
Speaker 1: Some sick people in the world go to Kentucky, Laurel County, specifically,
Speaker 1: man there co used of running from law enforcement officers.
Speaker 1: Happened Saturday eleven pm. Laurel County deputies responded reports of
Speaker 1: a fight in an apartment complex. Deputies on the way
Speaker 1: to the scene, the suspect fled in the car. Deputies
Speaker 1: tried to pull the car over. The man allegedly slammed
Speaker 1: on his brakes, causing a deputy to crash into him.
Speaker 1: That guy then got out of the car ran into
Speaker 1: the woods. Once deputies learned the man's name, Michael Root, Jr.
Speaker 1: They called his cell phone. He did answer the phone,
Speaker 1: reportedly telling deputies that he wanted to term himself in
Speaker 1: but he was lost in the woods. Idiots doing idiot
Speaker 1: things because they're idiots.
Speaker 10: To report.
Speaker 1: The county rescue squad used a drone to find him,
Speaker 1: eventually taking into custody. Charged with wanton endangerment and fleeing
Speaker 1: and evating police officers. Let us end. In Wisconsin, two
Speaker 1: people arrested and one person taken to the hospital after
Speaker 1: a fight at a Route forty one bar and girl,
Speaker 1: which is in Oak Creek Police dispatch there after five
Speaker 1: pm for a port of a large fight involving around
Speaker 1: sixty people. Officers got there, they saw motorcyclists leave the scene.
Speaker 1: Frank From police tried to stop that motorcycle, but it
Speaker 1: was unsuccessful, prompting a brief chase eventually terminated by a
Speaker 1: police Police said they don't know if the motorcyclist and
Speaker 1: the chase was even involved in the fight. To thirty
Speaker 1: thirty two year old men suffered minor injuries. Both checked
Speaker 1: out by the fire department personnel refused to be taken
Speaker 1: to the hospital. One to twenty three year old man
Speaker 1: taken to the hospital highly intoxicated. One of the posts
Speaker 1: at the Route forty one Bar and Girl facebook page
Speaker 1: a celebration of life was being held for someone there.
Speaker 1: Franko Police Department still looking for the motorcyclists involved in
Speaker 1: the chase people are in They're asking for anyone with information.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily overly stupid, but it is interesting a celebration
Speaker 1: of life would result in a fight involving sixty people.
Speaker 1: Five fifty five come up with five fifty six, But

Speaker 1: the brilliance of Jack added it. Today's subject who else
Speaker 1: was not considered? Presidential? Donald and Neil Americans for Prosperity
Speaker 1: At seven thirty typically the case kind of about veto
Speaker 1: overrides here in Ohio and what is the Governor's working group?
Speaker 1: In studio Marcel Sturbitch, who is running for a House
Speaker 1: Secretary of State. Wele hear what Marcell has to say
Speaker 1: about the campaign. Jack Windsor, editor in chief of the
Speaker 1: High Press Network, joins us today thirty no Neapolitana today.
Speaker 1: He's on vacation, but Jack is govern it Ohio House
Speaker 1: failure to override two of the property tax detos, and
Speaker 1: that will be our rundown this morning. Again. Feel free
Speaker 1: to call if you're inclined. I guess I'm still struggling,
Speaker 1: and just just note that this Epstein thing, is it
Speaker 1: a distraction? I mean, I'm troubled with the Trump administration's
Speaker 1: attitude toward releasing whatever documents they've got. And some people
Speaker 1: have pointed out, well, you know, maybe there are a
Speaker 1: bunch of people mentioned in there that really had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with my with Epstein and his pedophilia, molesting
Speaker 1: children or women or whatever, not involved in sex trafficking.
Speaker 1: They just happened to be rubbing shoulders with the rich
Speaker 1: and famous, which is exactly what Epstein did all along.
Speaker 1: And we don't want to release the things because it
Speaker 1: might unfairly implicate them. Nobody seems to have that concern
Speaker 1: really any other time. But okay, I understand that argument.
Speaker 1: But after years of talking about releasing the Epstein files
Speaker 1: and letting us see what the list is there's no list. Now,
Speaker 1: there's nothing there there there's nothing but with Epstein except
Speaker 1: Epstein's downloaded child porn, which we can't release anyway. It
Speaker 1: was one hundred and eighty degree shift. And I don't
Speaker 1: understand why draw all the ire of a lot of
Speaker 1: your base, Donald Trump by changing your position on this.
Speaker 1: Why don't just let them out? I don't see what overall,
Speaker 1: big broad harm can come from that. Maybe I'm missing something,
Speaker 1: or maybe this is just a distraction to keep us
Speaker 1: from talking about the big bombshell, which was that Obama
Speaker 1: tried to undermine the Donald Trump presidency and engage in
Speaker 1: this conspiracy which many are calling an effort to accoups
Speaker 1: d'tas anyway. Speaker Mike Johnson announced yesterday he's cutting short
Speaker 1: the week's legislative business, sending everybody home early for the summer.
Speaker 1: They're going home today in order to not have a
Speaker 1: vote on releasing Epstein's files, saying we're done being lectured
Speaker 1: on transparency. Really you may feel that way, I don't
Speaker 1: know that it's going to make the issue go away,
Speaker 1: mister Johnson. He complained about quote endless efforts to politicize
Speaker 1: the Epstein investigation close quote is it being politicized? Is
Speaker 1: this a political issue? I mean, it's such a weird issue.
Speaker 1: And some are critical of Thomas Massey for pushing forward
Speaker 1: and getting these documents released. Why didn't you do it
Speaker 1: during the Biden administration? That's a fair question. But why
Speaker 1: are the Democrats now clamoring to get these documents out
Speaker 1: when they had four years of the Biden administration, when
Speaker 1: they were in control, they could have gotten the documents out.
Speaker 1: Then why did some people demand the release of the
Speaker 1: Epstein files and now have gone the other direction and
Speaker 1: say no, they shouldn't be released or we're not releasing them.
Speaker 1: I just don't. I really am just totally perplexed by
Speaker 1: all of this anyway, Because they're going home, the Republicans
Speaker 1: plan on measures targeting some undocumented immigrants, a bill that
Speaker 1: would ease environmental rules and roll back some of the
Speaker 1: Biden air regulations. Now those votes put on hold because
Speaker 1: they don't want to vote on the Epstein thing. So
Speaker 1: good business, real business on behalf of the American taxpayers
Speaker 1: won't be getting done because of Epstein. Johnson said he
Speaker 1: would not schedule a vote this summer releasing the Epstein files.
Speaker 1: Arguing that Trump and his administration needed, in his word
Speaker 1: space to determine how to proceed. Really. Yesterday, he claimed
Speaker 1: the House Republicans were united on the issue and that
Speaker 1: they needed to be quote judicious and careful about protecting
Speaker 1: the innocent close quote HM. For her part, Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 1: Green said crimes have been committed. If there's no justice
Speaker 1: in new accountability, people are going to get sick of it.
Speaker 1: That's where people largely are.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Thomas Massey said he still planned to circumvent the House
Speaker 1: Republican leaders and try to force the vote and release
Speaker 1: in the Epstein files in September when they come back
Speaker 1: from their recess. This isn't going away. Massey said. He
Speaker 1: just told us there to stick their heads in the
Speaker 1: sand about this Epstein thing. Johnson claims Massy is the problem.
Speaker 1: Johnson said some here are much more frustrating than others.
Speaker 1: I don't know how his mind works. I don't know
Speaker 1: what he's thinking. And then he circuitously ended up with
Speaker 1: bless his Heart, sort of a backhanded not compliment to
Speaker 1: Congress from Massey, just to sort of you know, we're
Speaker 1: tolerating him kind of message, but they're not so anyway,
Speaker 1: it's confusing to me. But maybe again this is a
Speaker 1: distraction to keep people from talking about the Obama administration's
Speaker 1: role in instigating the Trump Russia collusion investigation. Jim Jordan
Speaker 1: was on the other day on Hannity and he summed
Speaker 1: it up quite nicely, calling it worse than we thought. Jordan,
Speaker 1: it all started back in twenty sixteen. It was wasn't
Speaker 1: just to keep Trump from winning the election in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: it was to undermine his presidency after he already won.
Speaker 1: If you want to take a three dates in the
Speaker 1: interim between the election day and inauguration day, back in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, December ninth, post election, Donald Trump won,
Speaker 1: Obama calls a meeting in the White House. All the
Speaker 1: intelligence communities there, plus the Justice Department. You got Lynch,
Speaker 1: you got Comy, you got Clapper, you got Bread, They're
Speaker 1: all there. Obama says, we're not going to go with
Speaker 1: the intelligence community assessment. We're going to put that on hold,
Speaker 1: and they put together a new one. Now, the background
Speaker 1: on that summarize common from Jordan. The intelligence community had
Speaker 1: concluded that the Russia did not interfere with the election,
Speaker 1: there wasn't anything there. We looked around, We looked and
Speaker 1: looked and looked, and we couldn't find any Russian interference
Speaker 1: and a story. So that doesn't sit well with Obama
Speaker 1: because it doesn't undermine Trump, says. Jordan goes on, because
Speaker 1: we're going to put that on hold, and they put
Speaker 1: together a new assessment. Three and a half weeks later,
Speaker 1: Jordan reported January third, Chuck Schumer's on one of the
Speaker 1: Sunday shows, and he said, if you mess with the
Speaker 1: intelligence community talking to president like Donald Trump, if you
Speaker 1: mess with the intelligence community, they have six ways from
Speaker 1: Sunday to get back at you. Well, that's a rather
Speaker 1: revealing statement upon reflection, isn't it, Recognizing that the intelligence
Speaker 1: communities actually did get together and went after Trump. Jordan
Speaker 1: went on three days later sean three days later, January
Speaker 1: of Trump Tower of the Intelligence Community, Comy Brennan Clapper
Speaker 1: go up there to give President Trump what Trump believes
Speaker 1: is a defensive briefing all incoming presidents get. So he's
Speaker 1: explaining just the normal, so he's expecting rather just the
Speaker 1: normal briefing. Instead, it's a setup. They go up there
Speaker 1: and brief him and then they tell him about the dossier,
Speaker 1: the Steele dossier, the dossier that they already know is false,
Speaker 1: and then it gets leaked to the press and thereby
Speaker 1: giving it credibility. When the press reports that Jim Comey,
Speaker 1: FBI director brief Donald Trump on the Russian dossier. It
Speaker 1: was all garbage, but it was all designed to undermine.
Speaker 1: This is where it began. The whole weaponization of government
Speaker 1: began here. And your first point, Sean, you're right. We
Speaker 1: had figured that this out several years ago, and we're
Speaker 1: covering this and the only thing we had wrong was
Speaker 1: that it was worse than we thought. That's the only
Speaker 1: thing that get wrong when we dig into these investigations.
Speaker 1: It's always worse than we thought. Jim Jordan, So maybe
Speaker 1: Epstein and you know, it's like, pay no attention to
Speaker 1: the man behind the curtain. Look Epstein files, Epstein files,
Speaker 1: Epstein files, kind of like Berdie Marina talk about renaming
Speaker 1: the baseball team, rather than while engaging in substance of
Speaker 1: conversations about what Ohio is doing to draw economic investment
Speaker 1: to the state of Ohio. As we talked about earlier
Speaker 1: in the program with Jay, it's a convenient distraction. The
Speaker 1: Epstein Files, I would argue, but this story is not
Speaker 1: going away. Clearly, clearly it's not going away. The question
Speaker 1: is whether anybody will have a price to pay for
Speaker 1: doing what they did to Donald Trump. Because remember this
Speaker 1: timeline of events. The Steele dossier is fake. It was
Speaker 1: paid for by the d NC at the pas to
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. It was paid for to create a fake
Speaker 1: narrative that Russia had somehow the goods on Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and that they were using it to sort of blackmail him,
Speaker 1: that he was an asset of the Russians. That story
Speaker 1: could not have been told, that argument could not have
Speaker 1: been made without the Steele dossier, because, as we now know,
Speaker 1: the intelligence community had already determined that the Russians had
Speaker 1: not a damn thing to do with interfering with the election.
Speaker 1: What do we need, Well, we need a smoking gun.
Speaker 1: And when you don't have a real one, you go
Speaker 1: out and fake it, and you pay a guy named
Speaker 1: Steele to write down a bunch of gibbers on paper
Speaker 1: and then offered up to the American people as something legitimate.
Speaker 1: Did you feel burned and lied to? It was one
Speaker 1: of the things that really really never ever got over
Speaker 1: with Bill Clinton. I did not have sex with that woman,
Speaker 1: Monica Lewinsky, And he waved his finger at you and me.
Speaker 1: He was lying through his teeth, and I didn't care
Speaker 1: so much about the underlying charge that he had sex
Speaker 1: with Monica Lewinsky. If I was married to Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 1: you know what I might have too. But you know
Speaker 1: what I would have done. I'd have gone out and
Speaker 1: admitted it. I'm not gonna lie to you. Yeah I
Speaker 1: did it. Sorry, I apologize to the American people. Please
Speaker 1: forgive me. I'm not the only one in the world
Speaker 1: who's had an affair behind his wife, and therefore I
Speaker 1: asked for your forgiveness as a president. But I will
Speaker 1: not lie to you and tell you it didn't happen.
Speaker 1: Then I could have accepted it. I think it would
Speaker 1: have been a better path for Bill Clinton to go down.
Speaker 1: I don't like being lied to. And when you look
Speaker 1: at lies on this scale, we're talking about the FBI,
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Department of Justice. We're talking about
Speaker 1: people who are supposed to be keeping the American people's
Speaker 1: interest and what their desires are. And for apparently, you
Speaker 1: know a number of reasons, Donald Trump was what America
Speaker 1: wanted and that's we voted for. We didn't want Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1: And here were all these organizations that you and I
Speaker 1: work every day to pay their salary, trying to take
Speaker 1: away the will of the American people. Six seventeen fifty
Speaker 1: five care seeing the talk station. Now I can mentioned
Speaker 1: Affordable Medical Imaging Richmond. They got a new office now
Speaker 1: Affordable Medical Imaging for all your scans. Go to Affordable
Speaker 1: Matimaging dot com and you can get again at x
Speaker 1: ray seventy five bucks, CTS four hundred and fifty, MRIs
Speaker 1: four ninety five. Yeah, it's just really mind blowing because
Speaker 1: CT scans are like five grand at a hospital. I
Speaker 1: don't know why, except it just that the fact it's
Speaker 1: just a big profit center. Most people don't know that
Speaker 1: they have a choice when it comes to medical care.
Speaker 1: And you don't have to go to the hospital imaging
Speaker 1: department that's where your doctor wants to send you because
Speaker 1: the well, the hospital probably owns your doctor's practice. Keep
Speaker 1: the money in house. We make a lot of money
Speaker 1: doing CT scans for five thousand dollars. How about just
Speaker 1: paying four fifty If you don't need a contrast, that's
Speaker 1: all it's going to cost you. Affordable imaging services. To
Speaker 1: exercise your choice, make a phone call a five to
Speaker 1: one three seven five three eight thousand, five to one
Speaker 1: three seven five three eight thousand. Online you find a
Speaker 1: bit affordable medimaging dot com.
Speaker 11: This is fifty five krc and iHeartRadio station six fifty five.
Speaker 1: KRCD talk station, Happy Wednesday. And as mentioned an on
Speaker 1: the program, but Trump's been able to accomplish a whole
Speaker 1: lot a lot of very very good news. And I
Speaker 1: know the mainstream media, legacy media does everything I can
Speaker 1: to paint Donald Trump is an evil satan or something
Speaker 1: like that. There's there's plenty of positive information out there.
Speaker 1: Look at it. Trade deal with Japan, five hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollar investment. Got a trade deal with Philippines.
Speaker 1: Looked at that turned out pretty nice. So the tariffs,
Speaker 1: the the threat of terraft scenes to be working at
Speaker 1: Trump and the American people's advantage. Slow process not going
Speaker 1: fast enough. It's the government doge unleash. And then we
Speaker 1: brought to our attention, although they didn't save as much
Speaker 1: as they originally hope, but they brought to our attention
Speaker 1: the insanity coming out of federal government in where the
Speaker 1: money gets the guys going. We learned so much about
Speaker 1: non governmental organizations getting the American taxpayer dollar relief checks
Speaker 1: and out there in the world claiming to do something
Speaker 1: we don't know whether they actually did anything or not
Speaker 1: with it. And then in a flip of a switch,
Speaker 1: we find out all you needed to do is work
Speaker 1: with software engineers, and you find out that there are
Speaker 1: two point eight million people on two government health insurance plans.
Speaker 1: That's right. Two CMS reported last week that one point
Speaker 1: two million Americans were enrolled in Medicaid or the Children's
Speaker 1: health insurance program in two or more states. You can't
Speaker 1: do that. It's called double dipping. And all the agency
Speaker 1: had to do was work with software engineers through review
Speaker 1: enrollment data, and it found another one point six million
Speaker 1: enrolled in both Medicaid and Obamacare plan taxpayers subsidized. Apparently,
Speaker 1: the Biden administration's policy was willful ignorance about whether the
Speaker 1: folks enrolled in these programs were even eligible or continuing
Speaker 1: to need public assistance. The Biden administration, now you know,
Speaker 1: the Big Beautiful Bill, requires the government to check twice
Speaker 1: a year about Medicaid eligibility. The Biden administration apparently ban
Speaker 1: states from checking Medicaid eligibility more than once a year.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a temporary safety net. So the
Speaker 1: idea of checking more than once is, well, you don't
Speaker 1: need it anymore. You're now in an employed situation. Therefore
Speaker 1: you're no longer eligible. But the idea that just you know,
Speaker 1: here we are just you know, six months into the
Speaker 1: Trump administration that they were able to reveal fourteen billion
Speaker 1: dollars in ultimate savings by cutting out the two point
Speaker 1: eight million double dippers. That's a positive step.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Sadly, the insurers apparently aren't interested in getting rid of
Speaker 1: the double dippers because they get free money for enrollees
Speaker 1: who may have moved into other states otherwise may not
Speaker 1: be using the coverage, but they're not eligible for it.
Speaker 1: That money shouldn't be there in the first instance. So
Speaker 1: if your goal is to cut out waste, and you
Speaker 1: provide the resources to do that in a very short
Speaker 1: period of time, you can yield a substantial savings to
Speaker 1: the American taxpayer. I mean, look at that bill the
Speaker 1: other day was nine billion dollars and cuts from government.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, MPR is not going to be funded anymore. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: big deal. But that was only nine billion dollars one
Speaker 1: software check one work with software engineers, we find fourteen
Speaker 1: billion dollars annually in fraud. Thank god, somebody's finally doing
Speaker 1: this work. It doesn't really seem that overly complicated when
Speaker 1: you go ahead and sh air of the data among
Speaker 1: these various agencies. Hmmm, I'm surprised no one thought of
Speaker 1: that before six twenty six fifty five K see detalk

Speaker 1: for all your plumbing needs. That's plumbing done right. They
Speaker 1: know you deserve better. They deliver on better with better
Speaker 1: customer service, great prices, no service fees, free estimates. It's
Speaker 1: multiple reasons why they enjoy an A plus with a
Speaker 1: better business bureau. The number one installer in the Tristate
Speaker 1: for tankless water heater is something I've been focusing on lately.
Speaker 1: Because you never run out of hot water with a
Speaker 1: tankless water heater, you will save money. They only operate
Speaker 1: when you hot water is on, so it's not like
Speaker 1: this constant heating of that tank of water that you
Speaker 1: got with your tank system. They last longer than the
Speaker 1: tanks by five plus years, so multiple reasons and huge
Speaker 1: space savers. You can get rid of that seventy five
Speaker 1: fifty hundred gallon tank and just put a small suitcase
Speaker 1: sized box on the wall. That's your tankless water heater, trenchlist,

Speaker 8: Chuck Ingram on fifty five krs, the talk station.
Speaker 1: Six thirty one fifty five Parris, the cook station, Happy Wednesday. Uh,
Speaker 1: over the local stories.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Donovan and Neil on the veto overrides.
Speaker 1: He'll be up in one hour of the Americans for Prosperity.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 1: And let us see here, mayor I have to have
Speaker 1: purval maybe listening to Christopher Smith and vent his spleen
Speaker 1: over the past several weeks about crime in downtown Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: the deafening silence from the mayor and the council members
Speaker 1: because he has called a special meeting today that's right
Speaker 1: to discuss ways to reduce crime in the city Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: particularly over the run in downtown, calling all nine city
Speaker 1: council members back from their summer recess. And it's described
Speaker 1: here in the inquire Scott Wortman reporting one of the
Speaker 1: potential strategies, and this was part of his recall of
Speaker 1: the council's memo stepping up enforcement of the city's curfew.
Speaker 1: It's on the books already and one might easily ask
Speaker 1: the question why it's not being enforced now, considering the
Speaker 1: gangs of teenagers roaming around in spite of the curfew.
Speaker 1: We have a ten pm to five am curfew for
Speaker 1: unaccompanied people out of the age of sixteen and midnight
Speaker 1: to five am for people sixteen to eighteen. Purval said
Speaker 1: enforcement is tricky. He said, the curfew is absolutely on
Speaker 1: the table and a tool that we can deploy, suggesting
Speaker 1: I guess that it hasn't been deployed. He obviously there's
Speaker 1: a lot of logistical challenge with detaining kids, holding them
Speaker 1: until their parents can pick them up or until they
Speaker 1: can be transported home. Yeah, and as I pointed out
Speaker 1: earlier in the program, the judicial arm of law enforcement,
Speaker 1: which won't hold them anyway and will let them free.
Speaker 1: We've heard that many times. Anyway, a meeting starts at
Speaker 1: noon in council chambers. In addition to the city curfew,
Speaker 1: council is going to be discussed putting more restrictions on
Speaker 1: when youth can be in parks and in the banks
Speaker 1: at the entertainment complex, as well as ways to increase
Speaker 1: police visibility per of all. Speaking with the Enquirer, I
Speaker 1: think it's important to have a public opportunity for council
Speaker 1: members to ask questions, tough questions, and really provide a
Speaker 1: pressure test on strategies that we're deploying. And I can
Speaker 1: speak for the chief and the city manager that would
Speaker 1: welcome that kind of scrutiny, as this is an all
Speaker 1: hands on deck solution situation. Well, I just I have
Speaker 1: to sort of ask out loud, will they listen to
Speaker 1: anybody's complaints or concerns or will they be staring at
Speaker 1: their cell phones during this open opportunity for people to
Speaker 1: chime in and comment as is typically the case, And
Speaker 1: will they help law enforcement enforce the curfew? If you're
Speaker 1: going to send them out to enforce the curfew. There's
Speaker 1: got to be follow up since a police lieutenant is
Speaker 1: suing the city claiming he's been blocked from a promotion
Speaker 1: for by a retaliatory scheme that's in the complaints stemming
Speaker 1: from the departments in his words, or in the complaints
Speaker 1: where it's unlawful race and gender discrimination. Lieutenant Andrew Mitchell
Speaker 1: sent in his lawsuit that he's next in line to
Speaker 1: become a police captain, but Police Chief Threes of THIGI
Speaker 1: is refusing to fill other open spots that would clear
Speaker 1: his path through promotion. Captain the highest rank in the
Speaker 1: since a police department that officers are going to achieve
Speaker 1: through taking a promotional eligibility exam. Once an officer takes
Speaker 1: that test, the scorers are ranked. Top score is promoted
Speaker 1: as soon as there is an opening, then over the
Speaker 1: course of the next year, the people lower on the
Speaker 1: list are promoted as there are openings. Mitchell plays sixth
Speaker 1: on the promotion list, which is included in the court
Speaker 1: filings in the lawsuit that lists set to this month.
Speaker 1: If that happened, he would have had to retest and
Speaker 1: any promotions would start again from the top of the
Speaker 1: new list generated by that test. Because of the lawsuit,
Speaker 1: the Skiddy agree to a standstill order. Mitchell's lawyer, Zachary Gotsman,
Speaker 1: explained that the case will continue in court. If the
Speaker 1: court determines THEGI has created an opening in the ranks,
Speaker 1: Mitchell will be able to take his promotion regardless of
Speaker 1: whether the list is expired, Mitchell claims. Mitchell claims thegi's
Speaker 1: hostile to him in part because he is a party
Speaker 1: to a lawsuit that claims there is a bias against
Speaker 1: white lieutenants. He, along with three other white officers, sued
Speaker 1: in May, stating that white lieutenants are passed over for
Speaker 1: preferred assignments because the city and the chief make quote
Speaker 1: decisions that are preferable to women and minorities and to
Speaker 1: the exclusion of white men. Close quote HM, you're popcorn
Speaker 1: out on that one. Six thirty five right now fifty

Speaker 1: Six forty fifty five KRCD talk station. Happy Wednesday to you,
Speaker 1: Big picture with Jack Adam coming up over the top
Speaker 1: of the air and it's love talking with Jack, and
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed that as much as I do.
Speaker 1: And is kind of going through all the things that
Speaker 1: Trump's been able to accomplish this such a short period
Speaker 1: of time, and it is quite quite quite impressive. I
Speaker 1: know that really irks Democrats, but you're getting the benefit
Speaker 1: of this as well. And there are so many Democrats
Speaker 1: out there, I mean that are well.
Speaker 7: More.
Speaker 1: All the polling indication indicates that Americans are firmly opposed
Speaker 1: to amnesty for illegals. They're happy that Trump was able
Speaker 1: to so effectively and quickly shut the border down. That
Speaker 1: is a night and day I mean, it's totally night
Speaker 1: and day. Biden administration screaming about we need to pass legislation, legislation, legislation,
Speaker 1: No legislation pass. Hasn't been any legislation on immigration since
Speaker 1: the nineties. No, you didn't need to pass legislation. You
Speaker 1: just needed to decide you were going to close the border.
Speaker 1: So that's been effective. The deportation efforts. Say what you
Speaker 1: want about the ice raids. They are going after some
Speaker 1: just absolutely horrific, horrific scumbag people. Now, sometimes other illegal
Speaker 1: immigrants get caught up in it when they're going after
Speaker 1: bad people. If you're hanging around with bad people, you're
Speaker 1: also an illegal immigrant, but you're not one of the
Speaker 1: bad people. Sorry, you're probably gonna get caught up in it.
Speaker 1: But in the final analysis, you're not here legally, so
Speaker 1: they have the ability and the right to process you
Speaker 1: through the system and boot you out of the country.
Speaker 1: That's just reality. Another thing that I think drove many
Speaker 1: people to the polls in support of the Trump administration
Speaker 1: was this whole idea that men can be women, and
Speaker 1: that you and I are supposed to accept that just
Speaker 1: because someone says I am a woman, even though they
Speaker 1: have a twig in berries, makes them a woman and
Speaker 1: therefore can compete in sp sports.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's signed an executive order that effect right out
Speaker 1: of the gate.
Speaker 10: No, that is not the case.
Speaker 1: Executive Order fourteen to a one outline, the federal government
Speaker 1: would rescind all funds from programs that deprive women and
Speaker 1: girls of fair athletic opportunities, recognizing two sexes, male and female.
Speaker 1: These sexes are not changeable, they say, and are grounded
Speaker 1: in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. Sex shall refer to an
Speaker 1: individual's immutable biological classification is either a male or female.
Speaker 1: Sex is not a synonym for and does not include
Speaker 1: the concept of gender identity. Well guess what. The US
Speaker 1: Olympic and Paralympic Committee USOPC has now issued a policy
Speaker 1: update update conforming with President Trump's Donald Trump's order to
Speaker 1: keep men out of women's sports. Acre to the organization
Speaker 1: in the link, USPC is committed to protecting opportunities for
Speaker 1: athlete participating in sport. Alongside the International Olympic Committee, International
Speaker 1: Paralymic Committee, and the fifty US national governing bodies, USOPC
Speaker 1: said it will ensure that women have a fair and
Speaker 1: safe competition environment consistent with the Executive Order fourteen to
Speaker 1: two oh one. Compliance to the order means of US
Speaker 1: Athletics athletes identifying as transgender women are now barred from
Speaker 1: competing in the women's events at the twenty twenty eight Olympics.
Speaker 1: They're allowed to compete, of course, in equivalent mail events,
Speaker 1: so they can still engage in sport. They just can't
Speaker 1: pretend to be a woman and run around and compete
Speaker 1: against women. US Olympic officials told the national governing bodies
Speaker 1: that they would need to implement the Athletic Safety Policy,
Speaker 1: adding that quote, the USOPC has engaged in a series
Speaker 1: of respectful and constructive conversations with the federal officials since
Speaker 1: Trump signed the order. Now, this policy update means that
Speaker 1: local sports clubs also need to bring their rules into
Speaker 1: line with the executive order. So there is something else
Speaker 1: that's been accomplished. And this is something else that doesn't
Speaker 1: poll real well for Democrats. Has seemed to be the
Speaker 1: ones embracing the concept that men just by uttering the
Speaker 1: words I am a woman actually become a woman. I mean,
Speaker 1: no one in their right mind really truly believes that,
Speaker 1: do they. It just flies in the face of logic
Speaker 1: and reasons so much, it's just hard to believe that
Speaker 1: that was ever even a thing. So mission accomplished on that,
Speaker 1: at least in so far as the Olympics are concerned.
Speaker 1: And good, good six forty five. If you five care
Speaker 1: that the CD toaxation, Mike, I will be happy to
Speaker 1: take your call in a moment. If you just don't
Speaker 1: mind holding on for a second. But I want to

Speaker 1: Brian said, Hi, when you do so, fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: three seven hundred eight hundred and eight two three talk
Speaker 1: KEK go over to the phones. Mike was kinding up
Speaker 1: to hold over the break. Thanks for holding Mike, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the program, Hi.
Speaker 13: Brian, you mentioned the thing about the all they did
Speaker 13: where they said people don't want the amnesty for illeagals,
Speaker 13: is so that the Democrats would actually listen to their
Speaker 13: constituents for once and do what they want instead of
Speaker 13: like you said, you go to city council meeting, they're
Speaker 13: on their phones, not paying attention and it's all video.
Speaker 7: There's a group in Chicago. They all had shirts on
Speaker 7: it says turn Chicago red and telling the mayor what
Speaker 7: they thought.
Speaker 13: He's staring through him and staid looking at him. He's
Speaker 13: like like, I don't care what you say.
Speaker 10: You're stupid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know better exactly, and a lot of mayors
Speaker 1: said a lot better they would, And you know, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's the problem that they're facing right now. There's all
Speaker 1: this post mortem. Trump got re elected popular he won
Speaker 1: the popular vote, and they're all looking around the room
Speaker 1: wondering how in the hell that could possibly happen. They
Speaker 1: haven't looked in the mirror and started talking specifically about
Speaker 1: the policies that they pushed that are losing them voters.
Speaker 1: This transgender thing with sports, that's one. The open borders
Speaker 1: that cost so much pain for so many cities in
Speaker 1: terms of budget and overcrowding of schools and exacerbating a
Speaker 1: housing crisis. I mean a lot of problems as a
Speaker 1: consequence of that. And you saw a lot of these
Speaker 1: town halls when they would have town halls, when elected officials,
Speaker 1: like in Chicago, for example, sid dark Blues Chicago, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't vote for Republican To save their souls, all of
Speaker 1: the constituents are there screaming at the elected officials about
Speaker 1: the immigration problem, a problem that the citizenry didn't vote for.
Speaker 1: In terms of sanctuary City's a policy that was just adopted,
Speaker 1: So go up and down the line. And then then
Speaker 1: I think about the you know, the Big Beautiful Bill
Speaker 1: and the fact that middle America kept their tax cut.
Speaker 1: That was one of the Quinnipiac questions about the Big
Speaker 1: Beautiful What is your perception the Big Beautiful Bill? Are
Speaker 1: you gonna benefit from it or not? In the majority
Speaker 1: of people said no, I'm not, Yes you are. Democrats
Speaker 1: keep focusing on the twenty percent cap on corporate taxes,
Speaker 1: But what about the tax cuts that you got that
Speaker 1: would have kicked in. You would have been paying thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars more in taxes as a middle class American
Speaker 1: had they not passed the Big Beautiful Bill. That's money
Speaker 1: in your pocket. I call that a benefit. You get
Speaker 1: to control the direction of where that money goes, not
Speaker 1: some idiot in Washington, d c. That wants to send
Speaker 1: it to some stupid program overseas. And I like the
Speaker 1: direction that the Republican Party is going on getting rid
Speaker 1: of these energy tax cut It's get a load of
Speaker 1: this one that fell out of my seat when I
Speaker 1: saw this. Ac Cording to a recently published New York
Speaker 1: Post report, Biden administration massively puts for the United States
Speaker 1: Postal Service to electrify their delivery trucks. Back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, the United States Postal Service announcement it expects
Speaker 1: to acquire at least sixty six thousand battery electric delivery
Speaker 1: vehicles as part of its one hundred and six thousand
Speaker 1: vehicle acquisition plan for deliveries between now and twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Vehicles purchase is part of an anticipated plan will be
Speaker 1: beginning to replace the Postal Services aging delivery feed of
Speaker 1: over twenty two hundred and twenty thousand vehicles. Fine, there's
Speaker 1: your plan. We're gonna buy green electric vehicles. However, the
Speaker 1: Biden administration's planned to create this green fleet of postal
Speaker 1: vehicles has resulted in a mere two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: electric mail trucks in just over two years, this after
Speaker 1: already showing out taxpayer funds meant to build thousands of them.
Speaker 1: Described as the nearly ten billion dollar project calling for
Speaker 1: more than thirty five thousand, actually it's forty five thousand
Speaker 1: battery powered US Postal Service vehicles to be completed by
Speaker 1: September twenty twenty eight. Ac quard to the original announcement,
Speaker 1: funded in part by three billion dollars in funding from
Speaker 1: the Inflation Reduction Act, which was basically the Green New
Speaker 1: Deal was not inflation reduction Act. It actually increased inflation
Speaker 1: as we all know so far, much like the electric
Speaker 1: charging stations that weren't built on the billions of dollars
Speaker 1: allocated for that. The first the dispersed funds around what
Speaker 1: dispersed funds? That means money that's gone out the door
Speaker 1: from the Inflation Reduction Act one point seven billion dollars ergo.
Speaker 1: Each of the two hundred and fifty trucks acquired have
Speaker 1: cost you, the American taxpayer a minimum of six point
Speaker 1: eight million dollars each. I gotta kick out a zero
Speaker 1: hedge crunch the numbers on this. So the federal government
Speaker 1: is only four hundred and forty forty four thousand, seven
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty vehicles short of its forty five thousand
Speaker 1: vehicle goals. So at this rate purchasing around eighty three
Speaker 1: electric mail trucks a year, which is the rate that
Speaker 1: it's currently going at, it'll take the government another five
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine years to finalize the plans, way
Speaker 1: beyond the projected date of twenty twenty eight. Actually that
Speaker 1: will result in them completing the goal by the year
Speaker 1: twenty five sixty four. There's your government at work. Efficiency
Speaker 1: absolutely always delivered by a government program. Six to fifty
Speaker 1: five fifty five the talk station after the news, the
Speaker 1: Big Picture with Jack Aviden. Who else was not considered presidential?
Speaker 1: A question that will be addressed by the brilliant Jack
Speaker 1: avid And that's next that you can stick around.
Speaker 9: From a full rundown and the biggest ten lines there's
Speaker 9: minutes away at the top of the hour.
Speaker 10: I'm giving you a fact.
Speaker 9: Now the Americans should fifty five cares the talk station.
Speaker 10: This report is fun.
Speaker 1: Guys, get to talk to Jack avid In and get
Speaker 1: his dose of his brilliance. Welcome back, my dear friend,
Speaker 1: Jack Avident. It's always a pleasure having you on the program.
Speaker 14: Oh thanks for having me back. You and I can
Speaker 14: discuss anything, and we do, but I normally avoid talking
Speaker 14: politics with family, apart from Amesley and one of our
Speaker 14: two cats. The other cat is a Marxist wants to
Speaker 14: eat his sister's food, believing, as you like to say,
Speaker 14: two each according to his needs. However, a conversation with
Speaker 14: a cousin got us comparing Donald Trump with Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 14: This cousin is extremely smart and highly successful, and almost
Speaker 14: alone among my relatives. He supports Trump, except he wishes
Speaker 14: that Donald could be as presidential as the Gipper. Now,
Speaker 14: most people who voted for Donald knew they were getting
Speaker 14: Don Rickles and did not care, because unlike Democrats, who
Speaker 14: care about nothing except tearing down other people and securing
Speaker 14: their own power, we care about policy. So yes, it's true.
Speaker 14: Reagan was a much more polished speaker than Trump. He
Speaker 14: did not tweet or send out intemperate truths because there
Speaker 14: was no social media back then. Still, it's easy to forget,
Speaker 14: my friend, how much abuse Ronald Reagan took in his
Speaker 14: own time from both Democrats and establishment Republicans alike. Critics
Speaker 14: dismissed him as a crummy be movie actor upstaged by
Speaker 14: a chimp in bedtime for Bonzo. Reagan was shunned by
Speaker 14: the establishment for supporting Barry Goldwater after Governor Reagan loosed
Speaker 14: the National Guard on protesters in Berkeley. He was attacked
Speaker 14: as a bloodthirsty cowboy for installing medium range missiles in
Speaker 14: Eastern Europe and proposing space based missile defense that critics
Speaker 14: dismissed as star wars. Reagan was called a moron who
Speaker 14: got his ideas from science fiction, even though those ideas
Speaker 14: helped bring down the Soviet Union. A British TV show
Speaker 14: you can still find it on YouTube. It had puppets
Speaker 14: and was called Spitting Image. They made Reagan look more
Speaker 14: feeble than Joe Biden wandering into the rainforest and when
Speaker 14: he made real mistakes, and yes, Reagan did make some
Speaker 14: real mistakes, like failing to protect our marine barracks in Lebanon.
Speaker 14: Critics howled for the Keepper's impeachment and Brian It wasn't
Speaker 14: just Ronald Reagan. Abraham Lincoln was caricatured as an ape
Speaker 14: for imposing a draft during the Civil War, for ignoring
Speaker 14: habeas corpus their right to do process before he can
Speaker 14: be held in jail, for letting Sherman burn the South,
Speaker 14: and for freeing the slaves. Critics in the North and
Speaker 14: South one of Lincoln shots. They got their wish folks.
Speaker 14: Even George Washington was abused in his own time by
Speaker 14: his own vice president. We're not talking Mike Pitts. John
Speaker 14: Adams claimed, the commander of the Revolutionary forces, who then
Speaker 14: presided over our constitutional convention, was unanimously elected. Our first president,
Speaker 14: the president who defined that office by the way he
Speaker 14: respected the other branches of government. His own vice president
Speaker 14: wrote that George Washington and I quote was too illiterate, unlearned,
Speaker 14: unread for his station and reputation end quote, even worse.
Speaker 14: N An Adams, a puritanical prig if every there was one,
Speaker 14: also thought that the father of our country danced too much.
Speaker 14: My point, Brian, is that it's tempting to stick a
Speaker 14: halo over presidents who were a long gun and a
Speaker 14: pitchfork into the hands of the one we have now.
Speaker 14: Donald Trump is an epic personality, and he has epic flaws.
Speaker 14: He thinks and acts big, he talks even bigger. We
Speaker 14: cannot separate all that. A more elegant man like Mitt Romney,
Speaker 14: who puts the establishment at ease. President Mitt Romney would
Speaker 14: never have taken the chances that Trump, Reagan, Lincoln, and
Speaker 14: Washington did. Remember Mitt Mitt couldn't even stand up to
Speaker 14: CNN's moderator Candy Crowley during a presidential debate, and that
Speaker 14: is why Barack Obama won reelection. Look it up, Romney
Speaker 14: had been ahead up until that debate. As we've discussed,
Speaker 14: Trump has grown, He learned a lot after being forced
Speaker 14: into the wilderness for four years. We talked about that
Speaker 14: last week, he was forced to watch Biden's puppet masters
Speaker 14: set fire to this country and the world. Trump also
Speaker 14: learned a lot from being shot. He is now more presidential. Sure,
Speaker 14: we still WinCE at the chaotic way he rolled out tariffs, although,
Speaker 14: as you said last hour, look at what's happening now,
Speaker 14: country after country. Japan just the latest overnight to make
Speaker 14: what looks like a great deal for us and for
Speaker 14: the world. And if there's time, maybe I could say
Speaker 14: a word later about Jeffrey Epstein. But if mistakes and
Speaker 14: personality flaws at the price we have to pay to
Speaker 14: have a colossus as president, a colossus whose policies appeal
Speaker 14: to eighty percent of the American people, that I'm happy,
Speaker 14: Brian to wait for Donald John Trump and Ronald Wilson
Speaker 14: Reagan to be carved onto Mount Rushmore. What do you say,
Speaker 14: I'm just observing. Do you think Trump would be as
Speaker 14: successful in his first six seven months of the presidency
Speaker 14: and accomplished as much had we not suffered through four
Speaker 14: years of Joe Biden and his incompetence. No, that's what
Speaker 14: we talked about last week. And I also don't think
Speaker 14: he would have been as successful if Barack Obama hadn't
Speaker 14: forced us to suffer through those four years. This latest
Speaker 14: proof that Barack Obama treasonously used fake intelligence to torpedo
Speaker 14: Trump and his entire first term. It's an infinitely bigger story,
Speaker 14: as you also said last hour. Yeah, but I'm not
Speaker 14: going to minimize Epstein. Yeah, Stary lives, he and others ruined. Yes,
Speaker 14: I agree with you. After what looked like a cover up,
Speaker 14: the White House now seems to be doubling back somewhat.
Speaker 14: Even with the House shutting down over Epstein. That's not
Speaker 14: going to work for them. Still, let's assume, for the
Speaker 14: sake of art, the Trump told Pambondi as Attorney General
Speaker 14: to move on from the Epstein scandal because it, supposedly,
Speaker 14: critics say, implicates some of his friends or even Trump himself.
Speaker 14: I'm not saying this is true, Brian, But even if
Speaker 14: it were, would that be a reason for us to
Speaker 14: support Democrats on policy, to turn our backs on the
Speaker 14: MAGA movement? The MAGA principles of limited government, secure borders,
Speaker 14: fair trade, peace through strength and yes, transparency, and protecting children,
Speaker 14: which is why so many of us care about Epstein.
Speaker 14: The Biden administration blocked the release of these files for
Speaker 14: four years, and the courts still have to weigh in.
Speaker 14: But regardless of who may be implicated, we must seek
Speaker 14: the truth because MACCA is about principles and policies. It
Speaker 14: is not a cult of personality. However epic that personality
Speaker 14: may be focusing one and who's able to deliver on
Speaker 14: policy will keep MAGA populism charging forward, even if individual
Speaker 14: leaders prove to have feet of clay, which I hope
Speaker 14: and believe Donald Trump does not. So let's see how
Speaker 14: his ten billion dollar lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 14: turns out. He's been doing pretty well with these lawsuits
Speaker 14: about lives. Remember, the Journal is the Republican establishment newspaper
Speaker 14: that for decades supported shipping American jobs to China while
Speaker 14: calling for this constitutional amendment that I've often quoted, there
Speaker 14: shall be open borders end quote. That's their constitutional amendment.
Speaker 14: The Wall Street Journal is the enemy of MAGA principles.
Speaker 14: So let's just see if it's story about a supposedly
Speaker 14: lude two thousand and three birthday card which we have
Speaker 14: not yet seen, holds up, and then release any files
Speaker 14: that will not unfairly smear innocent people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and honestly, Jack, maybe you can make some heads
Speaker 1: or tails out of these seemingly one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: degree shift on in the Trump administration on those documents.
Speaker 1: I can't quite make heads or tails out of it.
Speaker 1: But let's assume for the sake of discussion that card
Speaker 1: is real. I mean, who cares. It doesn't suggest anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a sophomoric as it's been described
Speaker 1: as the sophomoric thing that someone like you would expect
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to maybe do. But is it's going to
Speaker 1: undo his administration if he in fact did that? And
Speaker 1: all the pictures of Trump with Epstein, you know, I
Speaker 1: think of my own life and yours.
Speaker 4: Jack.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been a public figure for decades. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've gotten a bunch of pictures with a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of people over the years that he didn't even
Speaker 1: really know. Someone had said, hey, can I get a
Speaker 1: picture with you? Jack, and you were like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: why not. I've been doing that since I've been on
Speaker 1: radio nineteen years of radio. There are hundreds of pictures
Speaker 1: out there with people that I don't know anything about them.
Speaker 1: What happens if they ended up being a pedophile down
Speaker 1: the road. Does I and me being in a picture
Speaker 1: with them make me a pedophile? No, but I'm sort
Speaker 1: of guilty by the fact that I had some momentary
Speaker 1: connection with them, and by all reports.
Speaker 14: Of dollars a piece.
Speaker 1: I was willing to take a picture with anybody.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 14: Remember again we're talking about two thousand and three. Yeah,
Speaker 14: Donald John Trump was a Democratic real estate developer. By
Speaker 14: two thousand and seven, Trump had banned Epstein from mar
Speaker 14: A Lago we hear because Epstein had made a move
Speaker 14: on one of the guest's daughters. Trump knew he was
Speaker 14: a creep, had nothing to do with him. Nobody is
Speaker 14: suggesting that he went down to that island and had
Speaker 14: anything to do with young girls. I mean, even Alan Dershowitz,
Speaker 14: you know, went down to the island because he was
Speaker 14: Epstein's lawyer. But nobody has offered any proof whatsoever that
Speaker 14: he did anything on tour. Deshwitz went down there with
Speaker 14: his family. It's look, there is something there. We have
Speaker 14: fan in the flames by doing that one to eighty.
Speaker 14: As you say about the files, eventually what can come out,
Speaker 14: what should come out, will come out and we'll see.
Speaker 14: But meantime, let's not forget we're a party of principles
Speaker 14: and policies. We're not a party of personalities.
Speaker 1: Brilliantly stated as always Jack, Here they didn't Yeah, and
Speaker 1: there's the Epstein documents. This is just a punt down
Speaker 1: down the road until September. I don't know why they
Speaker 1: dismissed everybody early when on recess early, just get it done,
Speaker 1: get it over with, vote on it. And the other
Speaker 1: component of this, Jack is I don't understand the one
Speaker 1: to eighty on the Democrats party either. They were not
Speaker 1: pushing for clamoring for releasing of any of these documents previously,
Speaker 1: and just because Trump didn't want eighty, now they're all
Speaker 1: demanding that these documents be released. I mean, I none
Speaker 1: of this makes sense to me, Jack, I'm just totally
Speaker 1: befuddled by it, totally.
Speaker 14: The Democrats. The Democrats are so completely prostrate as a
Speaker 14: party right now. They don't care who goes down in flames.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I.
Speaker 14: Mean that's that's what Fox talks about every single night.
Speaker 14: The Democrats, civil War, Hunter Biden, all the you know
Speaker 14: this point, they don't care. We should care whether innocent
Speaker 14: people are unfairly smeared. But whether that means that, you know,
Speaker 14: we shouldn't be spending more time on this issue, I
Speaker 14: think we should. I think that there, you know, is
Speaker 14: fire there for somebody, and it's a bad look for
Speaker 14: Trump and his administration and the Republican Party with Mike
Speaker 14: Johnson to seem to be sweeping this under the rug.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. The optics are just terrible on him.
Speaker 1: Jack add the tod always a distinct pleasure to get

Speaker 1: We'll find out from Donovan about that.
Speaker 5: And uh.
Speaker 1: Since Jack made a passing reference on Hunter Biden, what
Speaker 1: is that guy on? Is he back on drugs job?
Speaker 1: Did you see the interview with him the other day?
Speaker 1: You heard the highlights talking about unhinged and you're speculating
Speaker 1: why it is. He actually went on record, but he
Speaker 1: did have a lot of things to say about Democrats
Speaker 1: and his policy on immigration. If I became president in
Speaker 1: two years from now or four years from now or
Speaker 1: three years from now, I would pick up the phone
Speaker 1: and call the f wording president of l Salvador and
Speaker 1: say you either f warding send illegal immigrants back or
Speaker 1: I'm going to f warding invade. Okay, all these Democrats
Speaker 1: say you have to talk about and realize that people
Speaker 1: are really upset about illegal immigration. Biden said, well, f you,
Speaker 1: how do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How
Speaker 1: do you think you have food on your fwording table?
Speaker 1: Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you
Speaker 1: think does your ffwording garden. He's not a bit of
Speaker 1: a terror, isn't he? And that's where he categorizes the
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants a bunch of servants that work for rich
Speaker 1: people likewhile formerly rich Hunter Biden, who no longer has
Speaker 1: access to capital since his name doesn't mean Jack squat anymore.
Speaker 1: No one's buying Hunter Biden's artwork anymore. I'm not quite
Speaker 1: sure what he was hoping to accomplish by going on
Speaker 1: record with this profanity laced rant. Certainly didn't do himself
Speaker 1: any good, and he certainly went on attack on against
Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats as well. So Podcast America hosts
Speaker 1: who he went after to. A guy named Tommy Veeder
Speaker 1: served as a special assistant to Obama, had this to say,
Speaker 1: It's good to see that Hunter has taken some time
Speaker 1: to process the election, look inward and hold himself accountable
Speaker 1: for how his family's insular dare I say arrogant at
Speaker 1: times approach to politics led to this catastrophic outcome we're
Speaker 1: all living with close quote, Well, you can paint it
Speaker 1: as catastrophic. I think many Americans are pretty happy with
Speaker 1: what Trump's been able to accomplish so far, and he
Speaker 1: accomplished a lot seven twenty five right now fifty five

Speaker 1: Yacht Rob Brady the seven twenty nine on a Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and a happy one too.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 1: It's time we get talk to Donovan and'eil Americans for Prosperities.
Speaker 1: Donovan O'Neil, welcome back, donom It's always a pleasure to
Speaker 1: speaking with you on the fifty five KRSE Morning Show.
Speaker 4: Brian, always good to start my morning with you.
Speaker 1: Let's talk veto overrides, uh they didn't override all of
Speaker 1: the ones related to property taxes, but we did get
Speaker 1: something accomplished the other day. I know AFP was behind
Speaker 1: the effort to restore those provisions in the budget that
Speaker 1: allowed for a small measure of potential property tax relief.
Speaker 1: Got to qualify all of it because it wasn't going to,
Speaker 1: you know, immediately result in our property taxes drafting, but
Speaker 1: it would have provided some measure of flexibility going in
Speaker 1: that direction. For whatever reason, Governor de Wines struck those
Speaker 1: provisions from the tax bill, claiming that they needed to
Speaker 1: be looked into more, which is crazy considering the the
Speaker 1: our elected officials have been looking at this for a
Speaker 1: solid year and that's how they came up with a
Speaker 1: list of potential property tax relief provisions, some of which
Speaker 1: were ultimately incorporated into the incorporated into the budget. So
Speaker 1: where are we on this right now, Donovan and Neil?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, I think I think folks are a
Speaker 15: little deflated after that result. But you know the reality
Speaker 15: is we we've over in one of those four provisions,
Speaker 15: and that's an important one. It's a treat and taxation
Speaker 15: provisions and so what that's what that'll do and that
Speaker 15: goes into effect after the Senate passes it, centflaws to
Speaker 15: vote on it. It'll allow remove some of these inflamed
Speaker 15: language like emergency levees, and it'll remove some of the
Speaker 15: confusing language like replacement levees. And so it's an important
Speaker 15: piece in the transparency side of the equation, But on
Speaker 15: the relief side of the equation, we still need things
Speaker 15: to get done. Their studies have been completed, the testimonies
Speaker 15: all filed and delivered, but the governor, as you pointed out,
Speaker 15: had vetoed some of the other provisions that would resolve this.
Speaker 15: And now I think we're sort of in a bit
Speaker 15: of a limbo over the next few weeks till we.
Speaker 1: Come back in the in the fall. Have you seen
Speaker 1: any further statement from Governor de Wine's office about his
Speaker 1: reasons for getting rid of the all three of those
Speaker 1: property tax proposals, again, because they had been what I
Speaker 1: understand is thoroughly discussed and thoroughly studied in advance, and
Speaker 1: out he comes striking those provisions and saying we need
Speaker 1: to look at him further. It just doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: make sense or add up.
Speaker 15: Donovan, Yeah, No, I mean the you know, the committee,
Speaker 15: the select working group of eleven members has been named.
Speaker 15: They're going to meet for the first time tomorrow afternoon
Speaker 15: at two o'clock, and they've got a charge to come
Speaker 15: up with a list of working solutions, workable solutions by
Speaker 15: September thirtieth, you know. But the thing is, I think
Speaker 15: what it ultimately is is because this working group is
Speaker 15: made up of these folks, the thirty nine hundred political
Speaker 15: subdivisions across the state of Ohio, the schools, the libraries,
Speaker 15: the cities, the townships, the villages, the counties. Don't want
Speaker 15: to have to make tough decisions with their funding, with
Speaker 15: their spending. They don't want to have to go back
Speaker 15: to the voters when they need money and make the
Speaker 15: case for why they need money and how they're spending it.
Speaker 4: And so they asked the governor to veto these things.
Speaker 4: He vetoed them on their behalf, and now they have.
Speaker 15: An opportunity, you know, to kill more time without any
Speaker 15: relief in sight for homeowners.
Speaker 1: And so is the reason they didn't want to do
Speaker 1: their own damn job, a miss I think so.
Speaker 15: Honestly, looking back at testimony, looking at comments that they've made,
Speaker 15: and the composition of this work of this Governor's working group,
Speaker 15: I think they just don't want to have to actually
Speaker 15: do their job.
Speaker 4: They're afraid to have to go back to the voters.
Speaker 15: They are sitting on large cash balances because they keep
Speaker 15: taking money from the taxpayer without providing any relief or
Speaker 15: having any mechanism of accountability. And their solution, their solution
Speaker 15: is to shift that tax burden by expanding.
Speaker 4: The homestead exemption is the solution.
Speaker 15: That the Democrats and many of the local government officials
Speaker 15: have put forward. We're just we want to take it
Speaker 15: out of the state general revenue front, and we want
Speaker 15: to use that to provide relief. It's masking the problem,
Speaker 15: it's not solving the spikes that occur, and it's squeezing
Speaker 15: the middle class working families here in the state of Ohio,
Speaker 15: when we could actually deliver some real solutions that smooth
Speaker 15: the problem out, begin to address the issue in the
Speaker 15: long run, and give people some immediate relief.
Speaker 1: Well, I suppose what of this working group that Governor
Speaker 1: to Wine's putting together. I mean, isn't it certainly plausible
Speaker 1: that they come up with the same answers and same
Speaker 1: suggestions as the working group that led to these three
Speaker 1: provisions being in the budget in the first place. In
Speaker 1: other words, the securitest route to back to where we
Speaker 1: were before given.
Speaker 15: So if I laughed, because that's what I actually pointed
Speaker 15: that out to a reporter I was speaking with yesterday
Speaker 15: on this issue. I said, look, you know, this is
Speaker 15: an issue that has been discussed and debated and evaluated
Speaker 15: for the last two and a half years. Right, we
Speaker 15: had to select working group of legislators, folks who can
Speaker 15: actually do something on it, right, compared to this working
Speaker 15: group that can just issue recommendations. They identified twenty one recommendations,
Speaker 15: an eight hundred page report, hundreds of hours of public
Speaker 15: testimony from everybody around the state who has an opinion
Speaker 15: on it. We've shown a light like every corner of
Speaker 15: this issue has been identified. Every possible solution.
Speaker 4: I think has really been vetted and identified.
Speaker 15: Now, maybe these folks have something that hasn't been brought
Speaker 15: to the table, but many of these folks, Brian, have
Speaker 15: been in the ways and means committee rooms testifying or
Speaker 15: providing opinions on.
Speaker 4: This and most of their opinions, Brian.
Speaker 15: Have been They don't like the ideas that the legislature
Speaker 15: is saying they need to do that would actually solve
Speaker 15: the problem.
Speaker 1: Well, not liking them and coming up with an alternative
Speaker 1: that accomplishes what we are looking for, which is some
Speaker 1: sort of property tax relief. I mean, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: one thing to say I reject that because here's the
Speaker 1: reasons why that won't work out. But here's a better idea.
Speaker 1: We're missing that sort of ladder component in this discussion.
Speaker 15: Well, they have the so their better idea is the
Speaker 15: state should pay for this the state. We should shift
Speaker 15: the money that the state collects and income and sales
Speaker 15: tax and gross receipts tax, and the state should cover
Speaker 15: that for the school districts who keep raising their taxes.
Speaker 1: All right, That the devil on that one is in
Speaker 1: the details when the money goes out of Columbus out
Speaker 1: into the world world, though.
Speaker 4: Isn't it.
Speaker 13: It is?
Speaker 15: Well, and again it's just shifting that burden. Right, we're
Speaker 15: not actually addressing the spending problem. We're not actually addressing
Speaker 15: the unvoted tax increase problem that these local governments are
Speaker 15: able to impose upon their citizens without a vote of
Speaker 15: the people. We're just saying, hey, we're gonna actually take
Speaker 15: Columbus's money, and we're gonna we're gonna redistribute it out
Speaker 15: to inefficient governments around the state of Ohio.
Speaker 4: That's lutnoicrous.
Speaker 15: We you know, I shouldn't be paying for poor decision
Speaker 15: making in Cincinnati, right, I agree? If the Democrats and
Speaker 15: the blue city of Cincinnati and Hamilton County aren't able
Speaker 15: to get it done, why should me here in Richland
Speaker 15: County have to pay for that. No, that's and that's
Speaker 15: what this That's what their proposal essentially is is we're
Speaker 15: gonna shift that burden. We're gonna have the state carry
Speaker 15: our water, and we'll just keep going along until the
Speaker 15: next crisis pops. Should solve the crisis now and solve
Speaker 15: it for the next fifty to one hundred years.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I know America is the prosperity, always
Speaker 1: has action, plans and plans. I'm moving forward. So they
Speaker 1: a couple of provisions are remaining excuse me, remain vetoed
Speaker 1: and bring it back and we'll walk through the next
Speaker 1: step of the analysis, which is, I know there's that
Speaker 1: revoke property taxes in the state of a high proposed
Speaker 1: legislation that's floating around out there. We get an update
Speaker 1: on maybe where that is. But it seems to me,
Speaker 1: as we pause for a moment and bring it back,
Speaker 1: that this is only going to exacerbate the christ to
Speaker 1: just eliminate property tax, which I think takes us to
Speaker 1: probably a more complicated reality. But pause will bring Donovan
Speaker 1: back at seven thirty seven. Right now, fifty five ks

Speaker 1: Seven forty fifty five KRCD talk stations Right Thomas with
Speaker 1: Donald and Neil for Americans were prosperity thinking about the
Speaker 1: veto over ride singular two of them did not get
Speaker 1: over ridden related to the property taxes in the budget bill.
Speaker 1: Were the votes even close on the two that didn't
Speaker 1: get over ridden?
Speaker 15: Donovan, Well, so it's a bit of a procedural thing.
Speaker 15: They didn't even bring those to a vote. They tabled
Speaker 15: them because if they had brought them for a vote
Speaker 15: and they failed, they would not be able to go
Speaker 15: at it again. So you only kind of get one
Speaker 15: bite out of veto override Apple. So there's they're working
Speaker 15: still to come back. They'll be they always come back
Speaker 15: for session days in September October. I think that's when
Speaker 15: they plan to bring those up and address them. There
Speaker 15: you had members who were out of town, members who
Speaker 15: chose not to come back into town, and I think
Speaker 15: just still some more discussion with members about what we're
Speaker 15: trying to do here in the state of Ohio to
Speaker 15: resolve this property tax crisis.
Speaker 1: All right now, as for this working group that Dwine's
Speaker 1: putting together, that that presumably will result in some legislative
Speaker 1: rec changes. I mean, this was all in the budget bills.
Speaker 1: They had to pass that like any legislation. So if
Speaker 1: they come up with some different proposals or even the
Speaker 1: same ones, that's gonna have to be incorporated into legislation
Speaker 1: that'll have to be voted on in the normal process,
Speaker 1: right well, And.
Speaker 15: Unlike the General Assembly, they don't they don't have the
Speaker 15: abilities to This working group can make recommendations till they're
Speaker 15: blue in the face. Ultimately, it takes the legislature introducing
Speaker 15: that as legislation, So you're right, it would have to
Speaker 15: go through that whole process, multiple hearings, which is fine.
Speaker 1: You can move those things along fairly fast.
Speaker 15: But the reality is that working group won't have you know,
Speaker 15: isn't charged to bring recommendations back until September thirtieth.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we're not done with veto override votes that
Speaker 1: you've established. We know that they can come back, and
Speaker 1: they just chose three property ones to go for this time,
Speaker 1: only one got voted on. Fine. Doesn't this present a
Speaker 1: problem if there's a movement out there to have what
Speaker 1: a constitutional amendment here in the state of Ohio circulating
Speaker 1: petitions to get this on the ballot that will let
Speaker 1: us vote whether to eradicate them across the board, this
Speaker 1: might fuel that effort, this delay and this working group,
Speaker 1: and this idea of going through the legislative process with
Speaker 1: whatever future fixes they come up with. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: still a woman in the background, though, isn't it the.
Speaker 12: Lot of it?
Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely?
Speaker 15: And I mean you're talking to the guy in the
Speaker 15: organization right that's working every day to eliminate Ohio's income tax.
Speaker 4: So you'll find you're going to find me defending keeping.
Speaker 15: Taxes on the books, especially taxes that can kick people
Speaker 15: out of their homes if they're failed to be if
Speaker 15: they fail to pay them right, which is what happens
Speaker 15: if you fail to pay your property taxes even after
Speaker 15: paying off your mortgage, and their ballot initiative is there.
Speaker 15: It's a very it's very simple language. It's not like
Speaker 15: what was that one from last year that was all
Speaker 15: the last couple of years that's been all convoluted. It's
Speaker 15: four lines, Brian, It's four lines that says in a
Speaker 15: constitution property tax essentially you can't put a property tax
Speaker 15: on any homeowner property owner in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 15: And so it's not a complicated ballot initiative. It's a
Speaker 15: very simple message. And those folks are doing great work.
Speaker 15: They're chugging along, they're getting signatures. We've you know, we
Speaker 15: we've seen many of them at the events that will do.
Speaker 15: And I think, you know, if if you're a local,
Speaker 15: if you're a political subdivision, right, who's trying to wait
Speaker 15: up the clock and just slow walk a process.
Speaker 1: Or reform that is long overdue. This is the sort
Speaker 1: of damicles hanging over the head.
Speaker 15: And it's the nuclear option that I think a lot
Speaker 15: of citizens here in the state of Ohio are eager
Speaker 15: to push the red button on.
Speaker 1: If you will well, and I mean, I guess one's
Speaker 1: left with the perplexing question, the complex question of what
Speaker 1: reaction will there be if that actually passes. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're going to have a huge load of work on
Speaker 1: their plates and Columbus trying to figure out how they're
Speaker 1: going to cover the missing now missing property taxes since
Speaker 1: so much of how you know, various entities are funded
Speaker 1: are predicated on property taxes, and these levies, I mean
Speaker 1: you got have to start from scratch with the taxation system.
Speaker 15: Uh yeah, yeah, because you know most I think, what
Speaker 15: is it, twenty eight billion dollars. I believe I might
Speaker 15: be off a little bit there, but is what is
Speaker 15: collected I believe in property taxes across the stateable Hio.
Speaker 15: Between income and sales tax here in the state of Ohio,
Speaker 15: I think that that number comes in in at about
Speaker 15: twenty three to twenty four billion and some change. So,
Speaker 15: and these property taxes don't ever go through Columbus, right,
Speaker 15: That's something important here. None of this money is actually
Speaker 15: managed by Columbus. It is all levied and authorized by
Speaker 15: the local political subdivisions across the state of Ohio.
Speaker 4: And so when you end that, you're ending I mean
Speaker 4: at least fifty or more percent of funding to local
Speaker 4: public schools.
Speaker 15: You're ending significant amount of money that go to your
Speaker 15: townships where most of Highlands live, to pay for police
Speaker 15: and fire services. Our roads will be fine because Governor
Speaker 15: DeWine jacked up our gas taxes in its first tournament office.
Speaker 15: But you know, the other kinds of services that you
Speaker 15: that most people have come to expect and depend on,
Speaker 15: those are in jeopardy. And I think this game of
Speaker 15: chicken that's being played by political subdivisions where we could
Speaker 15: provide people with some relief is ultimately could result in
Speaker 15: just an outright elimination of it. And what we do
Speaker 15: because again, we won't just stop having police and fire
Speaker 15: and schools, right Brian, because those are things most people
Speaker 15: to civilized society count on. We're just going to put
Speaker 15: that burden on somebody else that tax shifts somewhere else.
Speaker 15: I think the real solution is, sorry, the real solution
Speaker 15: I think here is we have too gang much government
Speaker 15: here in the state of Ohio. We really need it
Speaker 15: to start to contract, consolidate and that would begin, I think,
Speaker 15: to solve many, many, many of the problems, not just
Speaker 15: on the property tax issue, but the problems that put
Speaker 15: our state in the bottom.
Speaker 1: Half of the rankings across the country. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: to think of the confounding mess that would have to
Speaker 1: It would come about as after the elimination of party texts,
Speaker 1: because your local political subdivision is the one that real
Speaker 1: lives to the local schools and parks and everybody are
Speaker 1: then going to have to go to Columbus and lobby
Speaker 1: the elected officials there for their slice of whatever allocation
Speaker 1: is coming out of Columbus under whatever formula they come
Speaker 1: up with, maybe the raise sales tax that cover the
Speaker 1: missing twenty eight billion dollars we're talking about, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but they're going to have to justify themselves to people
Speaker 1: in Columbus, as opposed to justifying themselves the local community
Speaker 1: members in the form of lobbying for or against a levee.
Speaker 1: You think local control would better manage the finances, and
Speaker 1: people in the community would say no, no, no, you've
Speaker 1: got too much money school district. We're not going to
Speaker 1: renew your levee or or or you know, vote for
Speaker 1: this emergency levee or whatever. But I just I just
Speaker 1: can't imagine how complicated it would be if the money
Speaker 1: just resides in Columbus then has to be doled out.
Speaker 15: Well, and that's the ironic thing here, right is those
Speaker 15: and you think, you think the folks in Columbus, the
Speaker 15: legislators in Columbus, are going to want to do any
Speaker 15: favors for the very people who've been lobbying against the
Speaker 15: you know, dozens of solutions they've been putting forward. Uh,
Speaker 15: this is the thing, right, This is this is where
Speaker 15: being you know, looking at this every day, both working
Speaker 15: in the grassroots or at events around the state with
Speaker 15: our team at AFP, and being at the State House
Speaker 15: and seeing the lobbyists and legislators engaging on this issue.
Speaker 15: The solutions here, the solutions have been presented. The legislatures
Speaker 15: put forward some very common sense ones that both provide
Speaker 15: immediate relief and resolve the spikes and triggers that cause
Speaker 15: crises like we've been experiencing for the last few years.
Speaker 15: The problem is the local government lobbyists and it's this
Speaker 15: township trustees, the school board officials, the superintendents, the teachers'
Speaker 15: unions and the rest of them have been lobbying against
Speaker 15: any common sense solution for the last two and a
Speaker 15: half years.
Speaker 4: And maybe they're going to get every.
Speaker 15: Little bit they deserve if property taxes eliminate out right
Speaker 15: in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: Certainly is possible. Donovan and Neil Americans for prosperity. Any

Speaker 1: Seven fifty four to fifty five KO see the talk station.
Speaker 1: Just think about the property taxes. I think the most
Speaker 1: defensive component of the property taxes is it's they're taxing
Speaker 1: us on unrealized gains. You know, I know my house
Speaker 1: is worth more now than when we built it back
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight, but what is it really worth?
Speaker 1: I mean, every three years they do some sort of
Speaker 1: projection about what your house is worth, and then you
Speaker 1: find out that, oh my god, my house is worth
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars more than when I built in.
Speaker 1: I'm getting taxed on that higher rate. Your house is
Speaker 1: only worth what someone's willing to pay for it at
Speaker 1: the moment of sale. So and I understand how the
Speaker 1: process is done, but it's just it's an unrealized gain,
Speaker 1: and yet they're predicating these massive taxes on that. So
Speaker 1: there's an element of fairness that's in there that there's
Speaker 1: is wanting. Actually, all right, we're gonna hear from Marcel's
Speaker 1: sturbage running for Ohio's Secretary of State. Find out what

Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's been a while.
Speaker 10: It's been good.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's been since September. We had some issues then

Speaker 1: and thank you for your service to our country. What
Speaker 1: an amazing service record you have. I mean the number
Speaker 1: of decorations and award you receive you served in combat. Uh,
Speaker 1: just it's just an amazing thing. Thank you.
Speaker 13: An.
Speaker 11: The privilege is all mine. My parents came to this
Speaker 11: country from Europe and it was a pleasure to serve
Speaker 11: our country. And I want to serve as well Ohioans,
Speaker 11: all Ohioans, and defend these election systems well.
Speaker 1: And that's a critical role of the Secretary of State
Speaker 1: is chief elections offer officer here in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: Are you drawn to run to this position because you
Speaker 1: see problems that you're capable of fixing or that you
Speaker 1: have solutions to fix. I mean, what's your motivation on this?
Speaker 11: That's exactly right. You know, you would think coming out
Speaker 11: of the military for twenty years, it's time to just reset.
Speaker 11: Was forever wars we fought, that fought our nation's battles.
Speaker 11: But the fact of the matter is when you look
Speaker 11: at our system, we've lost trust in it. And for
Speaker 11: in fact, just prior to our November election, sixty six
Speaker 11: percent of Americans we're questioning whether we trust in the
Speaker 11: honesty of the result of that election. And I think
Speaker 11: that's the kind of a crisis that we have to
Speaker 11: look at and ask ourselves fundamentally, how are we drifting?
Speaker 11: And when I put my analysis on this issue, and
Speaker 11: I studied our election system deeply in the last two years,
Speaker 11: did a number of call to actions. I went out,
Speaker 11: I tried to pass and work with the legislature as
Speaker 11: a citizen advocate, which is very unusual as a volunteer,
Speaker 11: and put forward enhanced verifiability for voters. I looked at
Speaker 11: the citizenship issue with verification to lack thereof, and I
Speaker 11: even looked at the cybersecurity, which is a specialty in
Speaker 11: a background that I had working at the Pentagon, I said,
Speaker 11: this is not a system that I could understand. Whether
Speaker 11: you're a Republican or a Democrat. You're asking yourself, you know,
Speaker 11: with these global hacks with Microsoft that and their software servers.
Speaker 11: This is recent and you know we're using these services,
Speaker 11: and so we can't just continue to drift down here
Speaker 11: and expect just to keep purchasing and acquiring, spending more
Speaker 11: money on cybersecurity. I think we have to revamp and
Speaker 11: relook at all the variables of it, and I have
Speaker 11: some very concrete solutions. So I'm very much an issue
Speaker 11: based candidate and I have an understanding of the system
Speaker 11: like nobody else in this race right now.
Speaker 1: Well, that's all wonderful. By way of background, one of
Speaker 1: the areas that I always hear about and it sounds so,
Speaker 1: you know, conspiracy theory, electronic voting, and everyone's raising the
Speaker 1: specter what's going on behind the scenes and the software?
Speaker 1: How do I know my my vote has been accurately collected?
Speaker 1: You read articles from other jurisdictions and other townships and
Speaker 1: other states, and you find out that, wow, isn't that strange.
Speaker 1: One minute there's you know, a thousand votes, and then
Speaker 1: five minutes later there's actually fifteen hundred votes. How did
Speaker 1: that happen? Where did this late night dump come from?
Speaker 1: As my vote been accurately recorded by the software? Who
Speaker 1: made the software? Who is looking into that? These are
Speaker 1: all questions that I hear all the time, and yet
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: I have no personal understanding of how the software has developed,
Speaker 1: who's controlling it, and if anything could be modified or changed.
Speaker 11: And what I can say to that is, you know,
Speaker 11: for the last twenty years, when we have computerized this
Speaker 11: entire infrastructure of elections, what we'd failed to do is
Speaker 11: upfront create independent security assessment review for those various systems,
Speaker 11: so there's not really a third party involved. The vendor
Speaker 11: really drives the entire process. The Secretary of State validates it,
Speaker 11: but that's kind of a self auditing function. And so
Speaker 11: when we look at it, how much is this costing us?
Speaker 11: And what's happened in Ohio in particular, in just the
Speaker 11: last six years, we went from having an eighteen million
Speaker 11: dollar budget in the Secretary of State's office to a
Speaker 11: sixty five million dollar Bush, and that budget has been
Speaker 11: growing because we're having to add these cybersecurity costs which
Speaker 11: now are no longer being funded by the federal government,
Speaker 11: so now our county commissioners are burying that cost. And
Speaker 11: so this whole system is being relooked at. And when
Speaker 11: you look at this administration, Brian President Trump has called
Speaker 11: for decertifying some of these systems because rightfully so the
Speaker 11: technologies from the early two thousands. In the early two thousands,
Speaker 11: there was not even iPhones, so you don't even have
Speaker 11: the ability to meet the degree of what we would
Speaker 11: call zero day threats that are present. And I'll be honest,
Speaker 11: all of these systems are designed to components, the software developers,
Speaker 11: the suppliers from overseas. So why can't we get a
Speaker 11: supply chain in United States If this is truly critical infrastructure,
Speaker 11: if we're truly going to protect that and give people
Speaker 11: assuredness and confidence, which they deserve. That's why I'm advocating
Speaker 11: to go back from a marketing device to pre printed
Speaker 11: hand markable paper ballots. They are unhackable, they're the most transparent,
Speaker 11: that cost about a tenth and Ohio is already doing
Speaker 11: it in some counties I think we need to be
Speaker 11: a leading state and go back to that.
Speaker 1: And I have no argument with that conceptually, what is
Speaker 1: the what are the counterpoints to that? Why why wouldn't
Speaker 1: we do that if we can, in fact restore the
Speaker 1: confidence in the vote and the integrity of the vote
Speaker 1: by going that route.
Speaker 11: I think the fallacy that we have is that we've
Speaker 11: already spent tens of millions of dollars, so we use
Speaker 11: the sunk cost argument. You know, if we have them,
Speaker 11: why shouldn't we use them. Well, if you can't secure
Speaker 11: them past a two thousand and five security control level,
Speaker 11: then you really can't have that degree of confidence. And right,
Speaker 11: you know, so what have we done. We have added
Speaker 11: poll book e poll books, We've got other things, you know.
Speaker 11: In Ohio this last selection, we had to suspend the
Speaker 11: use of electronic poll books, which are checking devices that
Speaker 11: are on polepads. And the reason we had to do that,
Speaker 11: in part is because the routers have been compromised and
Speaker 11: had a cyber vulnerability exposure event. So the very infrastructure
Speaker 11: by which we use in the connectivity of these systems,
Speaker 11: which we're told they're not connected to the internet, but
Speaker 11: the pullbooks are connected in many ways. So that's just
Speaker 11: one facet of what I could offer as a Secretary
Speaker 11: of State is I've worked with information systems technology. I've
Speaker 11: worked at the private sector to secure the Pentagon's top
Speaker 11: of the line, modern modern system equipment. And the truth
Speaker 11: is a lot of our challenges aren't just in the
Speaker 11: realm of cybersecurity. We're failing to properly share information between
Speaker 11: the Secretary of State's office and the Board of Elections,
Speaker 11: as simple information as identity and citizenship. And that's another
Speaker 11: area of weakness that.
Speaker 1: We have that's not shared.
Speaker 10: No, it's not because the way we.
Speaker 11: Have it set up right now, because in part the
Speaker 11: federal government, we accept all voter registration applications and then
Speaker 11: we check after the fact. So nowhere is that the
Speaker 11: whether you're talking banking, whether you're talking you would never
Speaker 11: get a loan or transact if you weren't.
Speaker 1: Qualified or eligible exactly.
Speaker 11: And so with respect to the election systems, we have
Speaker 11: eight point two million registered voters, and those eight point
Speaker 11: two million registered voters cannot be qualified for eligibility just
Speaker 11: by the Board of Elections. So we use the Secretary
Speaker 11: of State and our Bureau of Motor Vehicles to do this,
Speaker 11: But why couldn't the Secretary of State ensure that the
Speaker 11: Board of Elections has access to that official data? And
Speaker 11: that's where the battle is and that's where I'll take
Speaker 11: Ohio to ensure proper information sharing.
Speaker 1: Now, that doesn't sound like a challenging ask or so,
Speaker 1: it sounds like something that should already be in place.
Speaker 1: So what hurdles need to be overcome to get something
Speaker 1: so seemingly important and to ensure that illegals are not
Speaker 1: voting in our elections? What are not allowed to do?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 11: It all starts with process and being the fact that
Speaker 11: I've served in the military and organizational leadership level. You
Speaker 11: look at every process and you break it down. And
Speaker 11: that's what I've done in an exhaustive analysis of our
Speaker 11: election laws or policies or procedures. And I think we
Speaker 11: could cut down on the risk and start looking at this,
Speaker 11: Brian from a risk management, threat assessment standpoint. And that's
Speaker 11: the difference between I think what a political secretary of
Speaker 11: state doesn't do because they see that position as a
Speaker 11: stepping stone because as you know, how many how many
Speaker 11: times does a secretary of state try to run for
Speaker 11: Senate or governor? My focus is just to do this job.
Speaker 11: I don't need to rotate and I don't need to
Speaker 11: stay in this position. What I need to do is
Speaker 11: I need to address and fix the issues.

Speaker 1: right for Secretary of State here in the state of
Speaker 1: Behind has got good idea as an election integrities background
Speaker 1: certainly lends itself to that role, most notably, as he's
Speaker 1: demonstrated in his brief comments earlier, his tech abilities. He's
Speaker 1: very savvy when it comes to technology and maybe iron
Speaker 1: out things in terms of our concerns over the election
Speaker 1: are the ballots that we cast? What other motivations and reasons?
Speaker 1: What are the policies are you're running on for your
Speaker 1: campaign as Secretary of State?
Speaker 11: Marcel Yeah, Well, first and foremost, you know, I'm raising
Speaker 11: a family here in Ohio to six and eight, and
Speaker 11: I want them to have a system that can trust
Speaker 11: and believe in. And I don't want any type of controversies.
Speaker 11: You know, elections have become overly complicated, costly controversial.
Speaker 1: That doesn't have to be that way.
Speaker 11: Some of the things that I would propose up front
Speaker 11: are really common sense based. First of all, voter idea
Speaker 11: is supported by eighty four percent of Americans, and when
Speaker 11: it comes to Ohio's elections, voter idea only applies if
Speaker 11: you vote in person. So what that means is that
Speaker 11: for the one million Ohioans who are who have been
Speaker 11: casting their ballots by mail in they are not required
Speaker 11: by law to cast a or to submit a copy
Speaker 11: of a photo. I d we should quickly close that
Speaker 11: loophole that we did when we passed our original voter
Speaker 11: ID bill, and we argue against it because of convenience, Well,
Speaker 11: there are so many opportunities for people to get a
Speaker 11: copy of a photo ID to include when they obtain
Speaker 11: their identity credentials.
Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna, i hate to say this out loud,
Speaker 1: it come September. You're gonna need a photo ID to
Speaker 1: prove your age when surfing porn sites here in Ohio.
Speaker 10: That's a great point.
Speaker 11: Yes, they passed that legislation, Bride, and so this is
Speaker 11: a no brainer and we need we need to go
Speaker 11: right to that. I think the other area, as I
Speaker 11: talked about, preprinted hand marketable paper ballots should be the
Speaker 11: norm in the primary method by which we cast ballots.
Speaker 11: It will save our counties tons and tons of money
Speaker 11: when it comes to eligibility verification checking people. Let's give
Speaker 11: our Board of Elections both the means and the mandate
Speaker 11: to check for citizenship, ident and residency. Give them the
Speaker 11: same access that the Secretary of State has. So those
Speaker 11: are three really upfront, common sense approaches. I would further
Speaker 11: advocate for a couple areas to reduce the likelihood of
Speaker 11: third party groups. I don't know if you recall this, Brian,
Speaker 11: when I was on your show last year and in
Speaker 11: Hamilton County, we had these third party voter engagement organizations
Speaker 11: and while our administration touts the fact that we've stopped
Speaker 11: dark money from interfering in our elections. That doesn't mean
Speaker 11: that we've stopped nonprofits or for profits from falsely registering people.
Speaker 11: And here in Hamilton they falsely registered canvassers did hundreds
Speaker 11: of people last year. Well, they didn't close that issue
Speaker 11: or that loophole. It still exists. So we have to
Speaker 11: closely look at what role, if any voter engagement organizations
Speaker 11: that are paying canvassers should play. Really, there's no reason
Speaker 11: we have online registration at this point. We have a
Speaker 11: number of agencies to register us. Why are we adding risk?
Speaker 11: And then we need to look at instead of having
Speaker 11: twenty eight in person voting days, which is a logistical burden,
Speaker 11: it's a cost burden. I would like to see us
Speaker 11: and I would commit to working toward what the administration
Speaker 11: and White House has said, which is let's get toward
Speaker 11: a same day in person voting. With that said, for
Speaker 11: people who do work and it's untenable for them to
Speaker 11: get to the polling location, like they're confined disabled, let's
Speaker 11: say they're poll workers that day, We'll go to an
Speaker 11: exception based mail in ballot system. So having a valid excuse,
Speaker 11: still allowing twenty eight days of early valid excuse mail
Speaker 11: in voting. I think if we paired those two close
Speaker 11: the voter id loophole, and we address the ability of
Speaker 11: a Board of Elections to actually verifying valid a people
Speaker 11: up front, we would be hitting on all cords and
Speaker 11: we would really reduce the risk that bad actors would
Speaker 11: take advantage of this thirty day period. And I think
Speaker 11: all of those are within the realm of four years
Speaker 11: of a Secretary of State who has the will to
Speaker 11: do this, and I am the person.
Speaker 1: Today and a governor who shares your vision.
Speaker 11: Exactly, the governor who's pursuing actually enhancing civic education wanting
Speaker 11: to introduce for example, because as Governor to be, Ramaswami
Speaker 11: wanting to introduce a citizens Service exam for twelfth graders, well,
Speaker 11: I would pair his proposal up by introducing a curriculum
Speaker 11: post election where students can actually participate in a hand
Speaker 11: counting exercise using the vote casts prior in that election,
Speaker 11: so that they can have some familiarity with what that is.
Speaker 11: I think the reason we're having so few people participating
Speaker 11: in part in these processes is they don't have familiarity
Speaker 11: or buy in. And I think if we start to
Speaker 11: get people involved in more public involvement at the polling
Speaker 11: location besides the computerized the heavy dependence on computerized casting,
Speaker 11: I think we would start to open the minds of
Speaker 11: a lot of young people paired with his policies, and
Speaker 11: we could do some really good things and galvanizing this
Speaker 11: young generation to care again about voting and about democracy
Speaker 11: and about what it means to be a citizen. So
Speaker 11: I think that Governor Ramaswami and a Secretary of State
Speaker 11: Marcel Sturbage would work hand in glove to be able
Speaker 11: to enact these changes. And that's where I think we
Speaker 11: get back to this state of excellence mindset.
Speaker 1: Well, I know, granting authority to do business in Ohio
Speaker 1: is one of the jobs of Secretary of State. In Ramaswami,
Speaker 1: I mean, he talks a great game in terms of
Speaker 1: getting making Ohio the number one destination for new businesses.
Speaker 1: I love his energy policy making Ohio the leading producer
Speaker 1: of energy. Small nuke reactors, for example, provide an abundance electricity.
Speaker 1: We could be a real powerhouse. What can the Secretary
Speaker 1: of State's office do if you were there to help
Speaker 1: Ramaswami and the rest of Ohio fulfill that goal.
Speaker 11: Well, we would certainly work together. In the Secretary of
Speaker 11: State's Business Services Division is where the rubber meets the
Speaker 11: road for business licensing and LLC and corporation, So making
Speaker 11: sure that that process is streamlined, that it's transparent. Let's
Speaker 11: say you're a first time business owner. That could be
Speaker 11: arduous to figure out how to go through the filing.
Speaker 11: So to ensure that there's information system technology we could
Speaker 11: adopt that can allow you to see where your application
Speaker 11: is in the process, that'd be nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so if you're.
Speaker 11: A recurring a business filer or you know an attorney
Speaker 11: that's working for another you tend to understand how to
Speaker 11: navigate it. But what if you're a mom and pop
Speaker 11: right you know now, I will say there are some
Speaker 11: guides on those Secretary of State's website that help people
Speaker 11: with this. But with that said, you know, following that
Speaker 11: process and being able to see where your application is
Speaker 11: is an area of improvement that I would advocate and
Speaker 11: working with a Governor Ramaswami, I would be the facilitating
Speaker 11: point for a lot of those. I think we had
Speaker 11: one hundred thousand business filings so far this year and
Speaker 11: we're on tap to double that.
Speaker 1: So it's a critical part.
Speaker 11: It's not something that I speak as much about because
Speaker 11: the election systems need a lot of care and tender,
Speaker 11: but when it comes to business services, administration will look
Speaker 11: for improvements there as well.
Speaker 1: Wonderful Marcell sturbagefoohio dot coms where you find them, encourage
Speaker 1: you to donate. You're off to a good start in
Speaker 1: terms of campaign finance, and congratulations on that. And my
Speaker 1: next guest someone I know, you know Jack Windsor. You've
Speaker 1: been on Jack Windsor's Windsor Report quite a few times.
Speaker 11: I have, and he and I helped break open a
Speaker 11: lot of these stories on where we are in terms
Speaker 11: of citizenship verification. Last year was a big, big question
Speaker 11: as to whether we're on top of that issue. And
Speaker 11: he's endorsed this campaign as well.
Speaker 1: Oh good.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 11: A lot of people, like a lot of grassroots and
Speaker 11: other folks that really just want to see change and
Speaker 11: some new vitality in our executive offices are taking a
Speaker 11: strong look and that's why we did raise over two
Speaker 11: hundred thousand dollars in six weeks and that's a great
Speaker 11: start point. I'm blessed humbled by the support. And I'm
Speaker 11: going to work every single day to win this election.
Speaker 11: It's in May of twenty twenty six, so got a
Speaker 11: little time, a little bit of time, but that doesn't
Speaker 11: you know, when you're not in the system, you have
Speaker 11: to do double the work. And again, I'm motivating and
Speaker 11: driven to make Ohio better. And I don't need the position,
Speaker 11: but I want the position because i want the ability
Speaker 11: to make positive change.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm in this race. Thank you for appreciate
Speaker 1: your enthusiasm.

Speaker 1: You and I will talk again between now an election.

Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, and welcome back to the fifty five KRC
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Editor in chief of the Hump presid Network,
Speaker 1: Jack Windsor also apparently friend of my last guest, Marcel Sturbage. Jack, Good,
Speaker 1: have you back on the morning show. Hey, it's great
Speaker 1: to be here, Brian, thanks for choosing me today. I
Speaker 1: understand you and have endorsed Marcel Stirbage for Secretary Stay.
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 12: Marcel has been a great source for many of the
Speaker 12: stories we've written on Ohio election reform, and a guest
Speaker 12: on my radio show multiple times and just quick and Dirty.
Speaker 12: The reason I've done it is that I think he
Speaker 12: is the guy who actually understands what the gaps are
Speaker 12: in Ohio's election integrity and has a plan to get
Speaker 12: it done. And he's not running around Ohio going, hey,
Speaker 12: we've got the gold standard in election election law, no
Speaker 12: election outcomes.
Speaker 1: He is definitely not singing that tune, but he is.
Speaker 1: He's very coherent and very clear on what he wants
Speaker 1: to do to ensure the integrity the election. He just
Speaker 1: went through it, and he was able to rattle off
Speaker 1: quite a few things, some of which you just kind
Speaker 1: of scratch your head, Jack and wonder, well, why the
Speaker 1: hell isn't that in place already? How difficult can it
Speaker 1: be to ensure that someone is actually a citizen of
Speaker 1: the United States of America before they cast a vote.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's wild, isn't it. And what he's talking about
Speaker 12: right now, he's been talking about for a while. And
Speaker 12: when President Trump obviously was inaugurated, one of the first
Speaker 12: things he talked about was making sure that we reform
Speaker 12: election laws and increase election integrity and spoke to the
Speaker 12: very thing that Marcell's talking about. We should not be
Speaker 12: putting people who are not citizens on the voting roles
Speaker 12: because it just it's an exacerbated risk, and of course
Speaker 12: it takes time and money to take them off the
Speaker 12: voter roles, and it seems like a no brainer.
Speaker 1: It really is. And again, I just it's one of
Speaker 1: the frustrating things that I'm sure it's equally frustrating for you, Jack,
Speaker 1: knowing how you are about politics, why is why are politics?
Speaker 1: And how it's so frustrating. Republicans run the show. They've
Speaker 1: got both houses, they got the governor's office, they have
Speaker 1: Secretary of State's office, they have the auditor's office, they
Speaker 1: have everything. You think it will be this well oiled, efficient,
Speaker 1: you know, fiscal responsibility, limited government, free market kind of state.
Speaker 1: And yet it's like hurting cats up there.
Speaker 12: It really is, isn't it. I Mean, first of all,
Speaker 12: you have the I call the rhino problem. There are
Speaker 12: Republicans in name only, and then you know the other issue.
Speaker 12: There are people who are Republicans and they're in these
Speaker 12: districts that are purple where sometimes it's hard for a
Speaker 12: Republican to pull out a victory, and so that shows
Speaker 12: up and sometimes how they vote or don't vote, or
Speaker 12: what they do while they're at the state House because
Speaker 12: they recognize that there are people who are on the
Speaker 12: left side of the aisle who might not be so
Speaker 12: happy if they go, you know, too far right, and
Speaker 12: it is it's maddening. You would think with the trifecta,
Speaker 12: is what Republicans have here that we get hew, G've
Speaker 12: a lot more done.
Speaker 1: You would absolutely. Anyway, Well, a change of governor would
Speaker 1: would be very helpful. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed
Speaker 1: for VV. Ramaswami because he's got great ideas and he
Speaker 1: is as an enthused guy as you can ever find. Jack,
Speaker 1: He is super fantastic.
Speaker 12: And midterms are always tough for the party in charge,
Speaker 12: and so in Ohio, Donald Trump is won here multiple times,
Speaker 12: obviously by wider margins each time, and without him being
Speaker 12: at the top of the ticket. You go, Okay, do
Speaker 12: you have somebody to put at the top of the
Speaker 12: ticket that can help Republicans down ballot? And the Veke
Speaker 12: brings an energy and attention that I think is good
Speaker 12: for Republicans here in the Buckeye Stay.
Speaker 1: Jack wins Or, editor in chief of High Press Network.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll get on focus here and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the efforts to override Dwine's vetos, one
Speaker 1: of which was successful, but what of the other two?
Speaker 1: More with Jack Wins are on those after these brief words,
Speaker 1: don't go away.

Speaker 1: Hey thirty seven at fifty five KRCD talk Station, Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Swift, Jack Winsor, Editor in chief of the
Speaker 1: Hoigh Press Network pivoting over to the budget. The budget
Speaker 1: can in Ohio here contain three I call them babystep
Speaker 1: but some efforts to help us deal with the outrageous
Speaker 1: property tax bills. We're facing three separate provisions to wind
Speaker 1: the line. IM vetoed all three for reasons that still
Speaker 1: escaped me and Jack, maybe you can explain that if
Speaker 1: you figured it out. But he said, we need to
Speaker 1: study them more. We need a working group to look
Speaker 1: into this. Well, by all accounts, they've been studying and
Speaker 1: looking at this with a different working group leading up
Speaker 1: to the budget, which incorporated three ideas from the prior
Speaker 1: working group who came up with like twenty three different
Speaker 1: suggestions on how we could deal with property tax. So there,
Speaker 1: the work has been done. There, it is in the bill.
Speaker 1: And yet Dwine chooses to veto those but not veto
Speaker 1: the six hundred million dollars going to the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: So you may or may or not want to address
Speaker 1: that one, Jack, But that just really frankly pisses me off.
Speaker 1: But they did successfully override one of the three vetos.
Speaker 1: So where are we on this?
Speaker 5: Jack?
Speaker 12: Yeah, so there were three or actually there were four
Speaker 12: going back that he that he vetoed. It was a
Speaker 12: school cash balance carryover forty percent, right, There was a
Speaker 12: recalculating the twenty mil floor, which gets you know, so
Speaker 12: far in the weeds, my mind starts to hurt yep.
Speaker 12: And then there was empowering the county Budget commission Authority
Speaker 12: allowing them, essentially this group missioners to say no, now
Speaker 12: that's excessive, we can't do that, so more local control.
Speaker 12: And then the one that actually was overridden on Monday.
Speaker 12: It takes away I call them tools for schools and
Speaker 12: other taxing authorities in the form of the types of
Speaker 12: levees that they use, and one of the examples that
Speaker 12: I give is what they would call emergency levees or
Speaker 12: restricted emergency levees. Those tools are taken away, and frankly,
Speaker 12: part of it is that those words can be misleading,
Speaker 12: They can be misnober yes, misnomers when these things are
Speaker 12: being cussed and discussed during the budget process. One school
Speaker 12: district we found was in an emergency levee situation for
Speaker 12: twenty years and one lawmaker said, okay, now, explain to
Speaker 12: me an emergency that last twenty years. And so these
Speaker 12: are those structural changes that really give their design to
Speaker 12: give voters more transparency when they go to the ballot box.
Speaker 1: All right, but they didn't vote on a couple of
Speaker 1: the overrides. I learned this morning from Donovan and Neil
Speaker 1: from Americans for Prosperity. They were concerned about voting on
Speaker 1: those because they didn't know if they had enough votes
Speaker 1: to override. And they only get one bite at the
Speaker 1: apple in terms of voting to override the vetos, so
Speaker 1: they put it on hold. So maybe in September or
Speaker 1: whenever when they come back, they're going to vote on those.
Speaker 1: But I guess if they weren't sure they had enough
Speaker 1: votes to override the veto, there's no certainty that those
Speaker 1: are going to be overriddenhen the next vote. That's a
Speaker 1: great observation, and I'm with you on that.
Speaker 12: I talked to State Representative Beth Lear and I said,
Speaker 12: do you think you can take another crack at these
Speaker 12: sometime later in the fall when everyone officially returns from
Speaker 12: summer recess. And the answer was yes. But I want
Speaker 12: to go back to what you said earlier, Brian. Some
Speaker 12: of the things that have caused outrage here. Number one,
Speaker 12: it appears that the can has been kicked down the
Speaker 12: road so far that there's not going to be any
Speaker 12: immediate property really. Now, there are some people who would
Speaker 12: say these reforms were not going to provide immediate property
Speaker 12: relief anyway. But you said DeWine wanted to take a
Speaker 12: better look at this. Well, you also said there was
Speaker 12: a commission, bipartisan commission that created over twenty property tax
Speaker 12: reform ideas that were baked into this budget, and DeWine
Speaker 12: of course took his veto pen and cut those out.
Speaker 12: But the thing with DeWine's working group is, now we
Speaker 12: found out yesterday there's more reason for people to be
Speaker 12: upset when he originally put that together.
Speaker 1: The two people he put in charge are lobbyists.
Speaker 12: One is from the Cincinnati area Bill Sites, he's a
Speaker 12: former state representative, and the other is former Congressman Pat
Speaker 12: T Berry, who's now CEO of the Ohio Business Roundtable.
Speaker 12: But Sites, for those who don't know, after leaving the
Speaker 12: state House, he's now a lobbyist. And get this, Brian,
Speaker 12: this is the part that has people really peeved. He
Speaker 12: represents clients like Cincinnati Public Schools, Sycamore Township, Cincinnati, Hamilton
Speaker 12: County Public Library and you go, okay, well, what does
Speaker 12: that matter because those are entities that are reliant on
Speaker 12: property tax. Yeah, so you go, okay, the guys that
Speaker 12: he put in charge of this commission are our lobbyists
Speaker 12: that that are probably going to be there pushing for
Speaker 12: the reforms that most Ohioans don't want. Right, And then
Speaker 12: we found out yesterday he released a list of nine
Speaker 12: other folks to be on that commission, And as I
Speaker 12: look at them, there's like, you know, a treasurer, auditor, auditor,
Speaker 12: superintendent of public of one public school system, another superintendent,
Speaker 12: Hamilton County commissioner, Pickaway County commissioner, and then a Pike
Speaker 12: County commissioner, And you go, Okay, that's good. These local
Speaker 12: taxing authorities are represented. But I don't see any state reps.
Speaker 12: I don't see any policy experts. I don't see any
Speaker 12: property tax experts. I don't see any small business you
Speaker 12: know representation.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: And so it's it's so focused on this one sector.
Speaker 12: I think a lot of people are now going, all right,
Speaker 12: what's what's the wine going to try to bake up?
Speaker 12: And to see you have enough control over some Republicans
Speaker 12: in the General Assembly that we're going to get more
Speaker 12: watered down property tax reforms.
Speaker 1: I think anybody's reading tea leaves will probably go in
Speaker 1: that direction. Like me, Jack, I think that's exactly what
Speaker 1: we're going to get, knowing Dwine's record, most notably and
Speaker 1: considering who's on the Han Select committee there. But this
Speaker 1: raises sort of an interesting specter. It will kick the
Speaker 1: can down the road. Whatever the committee comes up with
Speaker 1: is going to have to be turned into some form
Speaker 1: of legislation that's going to go through the legislative process
Speaker 1: since we're done with the budget, and if they don't
Speaker 1: override the vetos, that is to say, doesn't this make
Speaker 1: more likely or but create the potential of the constitutional
Speaker 1: amendment petition that's circulating more likely to pass because they
Speaker 1: are kicking the can down the road and we are
Speaker 1: not going to be getting any immediate property tax relief
Speaker 1: that we can see. I mean, even baby steps might
Speaker 1: go along the way, and you could advocate, no, no,
Speaker 1: give it time to work, give it time to work.
Speaker 1: We'll get the relief. It just is going to be instantaneous. That,
Speaker 1: my friend, will be instantaneous. Yes, it will be instantaneous.
Speaker 12: And as I look at this, my visceral response, my
Speaker 12: hot take on Monday, when the General Assembly just got
Speaker 12: one of those things overridden, I said, this is actually
Speaker 12: going to be positive for the people who want to
Speaker 12: abolish property tax because people are already peeped. And I
Speaker 12: got emails yesterday from folks who said, well, isn't it
Speaker 12: interesting that the General Assembly did or the House did
Speaker 12: what they did on Monday? I no joke, got a
Speaker 12: tax bill or a notice on Tuesday that said, you know,
Speaker 12: my taxes are going up X amount, which is you know, astronomical,
Speaker 12: And so you're you're going to have this really interesting situation, Brian,
Speaker 12: where people are going to be even more pissed off than.
Speaker 1: They are now. Yeah.
Speaker 12: But but the lobbying, I don't know, power influence resources
Speaker 12: of the people opposed to massive text reform.
Speaker 13: Here.
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing it, and I think the wine
Speaker 1: leads them.
Speaker 12: So it's going to be this clash of old way
Speaker 12: of doing it in politics, and probably a bunch of
Speaker 12: money behind a campaign to make sure that that thing
Speaker 12: doesn't pass, and then a bunch of grassroots people in
Speaker 12: Ohio who go, no, come hell or high water, we're
Speaker 12: putting this on the ballot and I don't want to
Speaker 12: pay property taxes any.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is definitely going to be the challenge because,
Speaker 1: as you point out, I think statement the obvious that
Speaker 1: that is going to be a well financed opposition to
Speaker 1: that ballot initiative, and you know, just random folks like
Speaker 1: me saying it might be a good idea are not
Speaker 1: going to be backed by the money. There's not a
Speaker 1: lobbying group or some organization that's going to hurt all
Speaker 1: the individual people into one sound, solid voice.
Speaker 12: That's exactly right. And so right now they're in that
Speaker 12: signature gathering phase. In fact, I think the idea was
Speaker 12: to have those signatures gathered for later this year, and
Speaker 12: it looks like earliest would be May of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 12: If they can't get them, it's then November twenty six,
Speaker 12: and then you're looking all the way into twenty seven, right,
Speaker 12: And so.
Speaker 1: People want property tax relief.
Speaker 12: Now we'll find out Dewyne's commission is set to meet
Speaker 12: on Thursday, so we'll see what they come up with
Speaker 12: after that first meeting.
Speaker 1: Well, I observed earlier than I had before, Jack, I
Speaker 1: just the thing that really irks me the most about
Speaker 1: property taxes. It's all predicated on some randomly chosen figure
Speaker 1: your house is worth. It's unrealized gain. I've been in
Speaker 1: my house for almost thirty years. I know what I
Speaker 1: paid when I built it, and I know what they
Speaker 1: tell me it's worth now, and it's gone up a
Speaker 1: lot in value. It's only worth whatever somebody is willing
Speaker 1: to buy it, does sell it, or to pay for
Speaker 1: it at the time of sale. That's the only time
Speaker 1: you ever know the value of your home. And yet
Speaker 1: here we are saddled with this insane recalculation because well,
Speaker 1: COVID changed the landscape of real estate market in this
Speaker 1: country overnight. Yes it did.
Speaker 12: And you know, I feel for everybody who has that
Speaker 12: unrealized game, because just because your home value goes up
Speaker 12: forty thousand or fifty thousand dollars, it doesn't mean that
Speaker 12: you have some you know corresponding I know, likewise cash
Speaker 12: stash that you can pay your taxes.
Speaker 1: I also feel for the older folks on fixed incomes.
Speaker 12: My dad, you know, and someone listen probably have dads
Speaker 12: and grandparents who are struggling. And it comes down to
Speaker 12: the age old question if I've paid my home off
Speaker 12: and now I'm on a fixed income or don't make
Speaker 12: as much as I used to and I can't afford
Speaker 12: my property bill and you can take my home. That
Speaker 12: I ever really own my home or did the government
Speaker 12: always own my home? And I think that's what has
Speaker 12: people so peeved. That why there's so much momentum around
Speaker 12: abolishing property tax now as the GA and the governor
Speaker 12: continue to kick the can down the road.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's a course I hear from my listening audience, Jack,
Speaker 1: is that you never own your own home. As long
Speaker 1: as they can make demands and take your home from
Speaker 1: you because you can't pay property taxes, you are not
Speaker 1: a real property owner. Jack wins Our editor in chief

Speaker 1: he has to say throughout the week. I always enjoy

Speaker 1: him out and he's an enthusiastic guy. I like Marcel
Speaker 1: so real quick. Here a positive development out of the
Speaker 1: appeals court Third Circuit US Court of Appeals two to
Speaker 1: one ruling said New Jersey's law is in conflict with
Speaker 1: federal immigration law, so they struck it down. Third Circuit
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals said New Jersey's law was written specifically
Speaker 1: to prevent US immigrations and customs enforcement operations crossing major
Speaker 1: constitutional lines. That law interferes with the federal government's core
Speaker 1: power to enforce immigration law, said the judge in the
Speaker 1: two to one opinion. Specifically, it's noted that Ice doesn't
Speaker 1: build its own detention fill the facilities, but contracts with
Speaker 1: state and local jails to provide prisons around the country.
Speaker 1: To use his bedspace. New Jersey, back in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: passed the law barring local governments and private companies from
Speaker 1: reaching new contracts with ice. State says, we're not trying
Speaker 1: to control federal government or federal immigration law, but we're
Speaker 1: setting our own rules for businesses operating within our borders. Now,
Speaker 1: the judge said that was a subterfuge. Constitution is supreme
Speaker 1: inter governmental, and immunity protects that supremacy. New Jersey's law
Speaker 1: directly regulates the federal government, so it is unconstitutional as
Speaker 1: applied to this entity the in the suit. So that's
Speaker 1: a positive development. And here's the quiet part being set
Speaker 1: out loud resurface video clip. Now, as I read this,
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what, maybe Texas and Florida played
Speaker 1: into the hands of Democrats sanctuary cities, because remember the
Speaker 1: borders were being overrun. Texas governor and the Florida governor
Speaker 1: said all right, we're putting them on buses and we're
Speaker 1: gonna send to these left leaning sanctuary cities like New
Speaker 1: York and Los Angeles and Chicago. And they did get
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of illegal immigrants shipped up there. Now
Speaker 1: me go to this twenty twenty one House Foreigner Affairs
Speaker 1: Committee brief briefing Democratic Representative Yvette Clark, She's from New York,
Speaker 1: talking about needing more immigrants because she needs them for
Speaker 1: redistricting purposes. Remember, the number of human beings living in
Speaker 1: any jurisdiction is determinative on how many representatives go to
Speaker 1: the house. When I hear my colleagues talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: the doors of the inn being closed, no room in
Speaker 1: the end, I'm saying, you know, I need more people
Speaker 1: in my district just for redistricting purposes, and those members
Speaker 1: could clearly fit here. She's referring to this local Haitian
Speaker 1: community that could absorb a significant number of illegal immigrants
Speaker 1: into the community, allowing her to keep her numbers up. Well,
Speaker 1: you remember during COVID, going back to COVID and the phenomena,
Speaker 1: the various phenomenon it created, a lot of people packed
Speaker 1: up their bags and left. I don't have to put
Speaker 1: up with this rat hoole, disgusting infested city called Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: I can move to Texas and take my business and
Speaker 1: my money and work there. And a lot of people
Speaker 1: did that out migration. I'm sure you've read many articles
Speaker 1: about it. I've discussed them a bunch of times on
Speaker 1: the Morning show. Well, when people leave. You've got to
Speaker 1: have a replacement population, or the number of representatives goes
Speaker 1: down and you have less power in Congress. Enter the
Speaker 1: influx of illegal immigrants who will be counted toward that total.
Speaker 1: So you actually have one of them on record admitting that.
Speaker 1: So Texas and Florida couldn't deal with the overwhelming numbers,
Speaker 1: they had to send them somewhere. But I think ultimately
Speaker 1: it may very well have served the interests of those
Speaker 1: Democrat cities quite well, considering they were able to stem
Speaker 1: the departure population eight fifty five fifty five k City
