That'll take place at eight thirty, and 8 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.079 we'll hear from our good friend David Odo Exit. Happy 9 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.920 twenty fifth anniversary Odo Exit are asked the expert at 10 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.719 eight fifty. In the meantime, I'm always pleased to have 11 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.679 in studio. It's a wonderful thing, you know, to look 12 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:45.399 face to face with a good man, and that good 13 00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.240 man is Adam Kahlor, who's return to talk about all 14 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.960 things City of Cincinnati and the County of Hamilton. Adam, 15 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:53.280 always a pleasure, you see you man. 16 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.119 Thanks again, Brian, good to see you too. 17 00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:57.799 I'm not quite sure where to start, so let's start 18 00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.640 with the topic. We're just talking about the market's obviously 19 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.200 tanking a little bit. We've had a correction which has 20 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.400 been predicted for quite some time now. Now you want 21 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.000 to blame it on Trump's tariffs. That's fine. I'm not 22 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.959 quite sure where I am on tariffs. I know I 23 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.400 reject them along some lines and I understand them along others. 24 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.359 And we're going to again talk with John Carney from 25 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.359 Breitbart about that at eight oho five. We'll see where 26 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:25.879 he is. But whether or not those are responsible for 27 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.799 the recent market downturns, that does have an impact on 28 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.959 people's investment, that's right. So let's ignore the origins of 29 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.000 the downturns and just focus on the realities. Markets go up, 30 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.439 that markets go down, we all get heartburn over and 31 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.799 oh my god, my four oh one K loss whatever whatever. 32 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:43.879 That's why I never look at my numbers. I'm in 33 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.280 for the long haul. I just ignore the downturns and 34 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.400 never pay attention to them because they've always come back. 35 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.239 But in the context of the City of Cincinnati, there's 36 00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.560 that railroad fund. The one point six billion dollars that 37 00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.760 we sold the railroad for is supposed to be generating 38 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.799 a lot of interest, you know, on the money in 39 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.640 bened They didn't have to tap into the principle to 40 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.959 get the money that we otherwise would have gotten annually 41 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.719 guaranteed in a lease agreement. How's that working out right now, 42 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.039 Corey or Adam? 43 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.199 Well, apparently it hasn't been working out very well. I've 44 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.560 got a buddies, a financial advisor that lives over in 45 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:19.680 Hyde Park. He's been keeping an eye on everything, going 46 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.240 in to the meetings, asking for documentation, kind of weeding 47 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.360 through everything to try to figure out what's going on. 48 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.080 And you know, we warned a lot of people about 49 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.240 the situation. It actually doesn't necessarily matter how much money 50 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:37.599 you make in the fund. Infrastructure is what they have 51 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.759 to spend the money on existing infrastructure. Whenever you're talking 52 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.599 about infrastructure, talking about things like roads, right, roads is 53 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.159 a good thing to kind of look at asphalt, concrete, steel. 54 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.840 Yeah, the road projects that have been delayed over and 55 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.840 over and over and neglected over year after year after year, 56 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:54.159 they keep falling further behind. 57 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.800 I mean Sunset Avenue, ah, right, our favorite turning left 58 00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:59.800 on Sunset from Queen City there going up the hill. 59 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.919 Oh my god, that road is so awful. 60 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.319 I've actually heard that from more people than you, Like, 61 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.360 there's other people that on Twitter they'll say Sunset going up, 62 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.840 you know, taking a left there from Queen City going 63 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.719 up Sunset. He's like, I don't know what happened there. 64 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.479 It's like some tanks, like there was a war. 65 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:15.919 Right now, I know, I say, it's like a road 66 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.400 out of Gaza, and I know it's my favorite illustration. 67 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.520 My regular listeners go, oh my god, he's going on 68 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.080 about sunset again. But it's just for me, it's the 69 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.000 best illustration because I do use that road from time 70 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.039 to time, like when we have listener launch of Pricel 71 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:29.879 Chili or I have to go to the West Side 72 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.680 for some other reason. It's just it's been that way 73 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.719 for so many years. I mean years and years. It's 74 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.240 been terrible, that's right. And I'm sure there's someone out 75 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.080 there that lives in the city since they going, well, 76 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.599 it's not nearly as bad as the road filling the blank, 77 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.879 this road that I drive on, but it's one of 78 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.560 many roads in an absolute state of horrific disrepair. And 79 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.960 they fall behind every year on the number of miles 80 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.400 of roads that they are, you know, obligated to fix. 81 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:57.840 It's just like they just ignore it. They completely ignore it. 82 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.240 And you know, you and I both know they hate 83 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.199 the West Side, and uh, you know, later today, I 84 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.080 believe it's today westside. Jim Keefer over there it is 85 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.159 going to have his, uh one of his meetings later 86 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.840 on around six pm. And you got to go up 87 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.280 that road. Yes, you do to get to price El Chili. 88 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.439 I do to get to his meetings, right and uh, 89 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.040 it's it's an absolute war zone over there. But but 90 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:23.040 the thing is is, you know you're buying things like asphalt, concrete, steel, 91 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.199 union labor. Those are some of the things that you 92 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:31.240 have to pay for it. When you're talking infrastructure exactly. Well, guests, 93 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.399 take a wild guest, Brian, what the cost to pave 94 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.040 a mile a road went up last year? 95 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.959 Well, since you told me already, it's since last year, 96 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.360 according to you, it's gone up fifty. 97 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.959 Fifty one percent. That's not according to me, it's according 98 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.839 to Rocky Moretti. He's the director of policy and research 99 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.920 for an organization called trip and what he said is 100 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.040 the challenge is that over the last two years, we've 101 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.959 seen highway construction costs, which are essentially labor and material, 102 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.800 increased thirty six percent. But in Cincinnati, the cost to 103 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.680 rehab one lane mile rows fifty one percent in just 104 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.000 a year. It now sits at five hundred thousand per 105 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.879 lane mile. So pretend you're making six and a half percent, 106 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.959 which is what the financial firms have told us that 107 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.680 they're gonna make every year on average in this trust 108 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.399 six and a half percent. But the things you buy 109 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.519 just went up fifty one percent in the last year. 110 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.079 So now you're behind the eight ball. So now what 111 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.399 next year you're gonna make sixty percent to make up 112 00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:37.079 for it? Is that how this is gonna work. So 113 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:41.600 the buying power of those dollars just decreased. We it 114 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.800 was one point six billion. Now you're looking at a 115 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.120 little over half a billion dollars that the moneies that 116 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.720 that that buying power is worth. And I tried to 117 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.519 warn people about this, but I don't think it really 118 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.720 set into their heads that the inflation of the things 119 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.399 you're buying with the money is going to outpace the 120 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.560 money that you're And they've spent I think a little 121 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.600 over ten million dollars already or two million dollars SORR. 122 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.279 Two million dollars in fees for the managers. 123 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:07.439 Of the money. 124 00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.839 Yeah, of the money. So so now you're behind. But 125 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.720 from what I've been told, the equity portion, they didn't 126 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.079 invest that right away when they got the money they 127 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.879 phased it. Okay, they invested a chunk of that before 128 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.360 the downturn, so the money was going up when they 129 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.600 were like, oh, we're going to sell the railroad. Everybody 130 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.000 was high on the stock market. Money was cheaper, right, 131 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.639 people were throwing money in the market. There wasn't really 132 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.720 anywhere else to put it. Well, now you see where 133 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.560 it's shifted to gold, precious metals, commodities, things like that 134 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.120 are going up. I mean gold just hit three thousand 135 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.959 dollars an ounce, right, Yeah, it's amazing. If you're invested 136 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.360 half the money in the stock market, the other half 137 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.639 is in a you know, fixed income, which they have 138 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.279 to rotate in and out of. So if you're buying 139 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.160 the year these ten year bonds for four percent, you 140 00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:59.839 have to rotate out of this. You can't just hold 141 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:01.879 them for ten years or four percent. So in the 142 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.680 future they're going to go back down to where they 143 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.639 normally are two percent two and a half percent. 144 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.639 So maybe, I mean, I might understand on a global level, 145 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:11.959 nobody is interested in buying our bonds anymore. 146 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.480 I buy our debt are I mean, you know how 147 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:15.639 cash is? I mean, it's six. 148 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.600 Trillion dollars in the hole. I think people are starting 149 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.199 to worry about whether we will be remain solvent, which is, 150 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.879 you know, the the ultimate existential crisis we face. 151 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:24.920 Well, and that's you know why we have things like 152 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.240 doge now and they're looking at this money, which is 153 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.000 freaking out the other side of the aisle because their 154 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.959 corruption is being found out. 155 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:37.399 Yeah, that's the only thing I can discern from this, 156 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.720 and you have you're left to draw your own conclusions 157 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.160 why they're so wigged out about what Elon Musk and 158 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.360 the Department of Government Efficiency is doing when it is 159 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:50.800 literally indefensible to protect these ridiculous payments we're making to 160 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.639 these ridiculous organizations and these ridiculous you know, research studies. 161 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.600 But there they are coming unhinged over it. And I 162 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.000 think that is exactly why. Because someone is looking and 163 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:05.879 watching the money trail, pointing out the stupidity of the 164 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.160 grants at the outset, like how can you justify circumcisions 165 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:14.959 in Jakarta or whatever with the US taxpayer dollars, But 166 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.759 then realizing as they do that sometimes somebody is going 167 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.000 to go to Jakarta or see if that study was 168 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.199 actually even done and find out that the money never 169 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.800 made it there, and it's stayed in Washington, DC and 170 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.680 it's being used to fund lobbyist organizations and their own 171 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.200 left wing causes and campaigns to get these elected officials reelected. 172 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.240 That's right. It all ends up back in the hands 173 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.440 of these donors, right, because these donors are running NGOs 174 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.159 other nonprofits. It goes into those nonprofits. These people charge 175 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.919 an outrageous amount of money for their contractor companies to 176 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.480 build houses in Africa or whatever they're trying to do. 177 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.600 So maybe it costs ten thousand dollars to build one 178 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.080 of those who you charge fifty, right, and then you 179 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.399 turn around, you put the money back into your pocket 180 00:08:58.440 --> 00:08:59.960 and then you donate it back to the party. 181 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.639 Yeah. Or there's you know to five o' one C 182 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.039 three corporation type styles set up so they're not you know, 183 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.240 taxable entity, but yet they are executives and the people 184 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.279 that run the organizations make these massive six figure salaries. 185 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:13.200 It's all the same thing. 186 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.279 Unbelievable, unbelievable, what's going on? 187 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.159 So double the price for lane mile thanks to a 188 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.399 one year passage in time.

A very 232 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.120 Happy Tuesday too, Brian Thomas with Adam Taylor and Studio 233 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:39.399 talking Cincinnati and Hamilton County politics. And apparently Todd Zinzer 234 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.360 did address the railroad money the concerns we're talking about 235 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.080 right now or that we just were talking about Adam 236 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.639 in two of his Citizen Watchdog podcasts. And Todd, you know, 237 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.120 is former inspector, gentleman, he has he just paid attention 238 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.360 to everything, right, So guy, Yeah, and you know, I 239 00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.879 say what you want about Sharon Coolis from the inquire 240 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.279 she would go to city council meetings and do some 241 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.960 reporting on them. She's now the spokesperson or somebody on 242 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.759 behalf of Connie Pillach at the Prosecutor's Oscar's office. So 243 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.799 she's no longer to be working at the Enquirer. So 244 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.679 I guess no one will be reporting on what's going on. 245 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:17.960 In I mean yeah, And I like Sherry. I mean 246 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:23.320 she's she's she's a good person, seems like she's you know, 247 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.200 she gets in there, she's not afraid to say the 248 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.519 things that need to be said. And she would come 249 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.039 here on the morning show. Yeah, yeah, you got her on. 250 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:31.919 That's right, I could. 251 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.639 You couldn't get any of this insane council members to 252 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:35.600 come on the program. 253 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.919 No, And I couldn't imagine I mean doing that day 254 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.799 in and day out for as many years as she's 255 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.919 done it, and just dealing with city Hall. I mean 256 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:44.799 that was her main focus. And some of the stuff 257 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.039 that's going on down there. I mean, it's got to 258 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.120 get to you. And you know, maybe an opportunity opened 259 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.000 up or whatever. I don't know. Some people may not 260 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.720 be happy about it because you know, it's it's a 261 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.279 Democrat prosecutor and we should probably have a Republican prosecutor 262 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.639 right now. I think if people would vote smarter. But 263 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:02.440 you know, opportunity opens up, you take it, you know. 264 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.919 So we'll see what happens there. But I'll tell you what. 265 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.799 Todd zinzer Man does a hell of a job on 266 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.480 his Citizen Watchdog podcast and just in general. And the 267 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.480 guy really wants to figure this thing out, like what's 268 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:15.759 going on. He's only one. 269 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.240 He's like Cincinnati's version, although without any power or ability 270 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.919 to change things. He's like Cincinnati's version of Elon Musk. Yeah, 271 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.639 I mean he sees the problems. He can identify one 272 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:30.840 particulate him completely explain why you know it's not right, 273 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.559 it's not appropriate, or it's crazy. And he's got the 274 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:39.159 statistics and the documents and the wherewithal to explain it 275 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.679 in full detail. And you know, it's just too bad 276 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:44.279 he doesn't have powered authority to change it well. 277 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.039 On his approach, the way he presents the stuff. And 278 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.080 you know, the difference between like me and Todd is 279 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.919 as I'll see something, I'll get it, I'll get all 280 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.080 hyper about it and just tell people and know whoa dude, 281 00:13:54.120 --> 00:14:00.559 slow down. But but Todd, Todd's his demeanor, credibility background. 282 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.679 It's like if Todd presents it, then all of a 283 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.519 sudden it's like this is this is right because of 284 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.679 the way he can put it together and the way 285 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.440 he can frame it for the average voter. Indeed, and 286 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.799 I think, you know, when when stuff comes up, you 287 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:15.919 got your connected communities which is turning out to be 288 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.320 a nightmare, the railroad deal which has turned out to 289 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.679 be a nightmare. Now, I think if these two mayoral 290 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.679 Republican candidates can go in there and they can take 291 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.080 advantage of some of the stuff that people are frustrated 292 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.440 about in the lies that they that we as as 293 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.960 citizens of Cincinnati, were told about both of these things. 294 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:39.639 They got a chance. And it's crazy to say that. 295 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.039 I mean, Cincinnati is a seventy percent Democrat district, but 296 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:47.559 with what's going on federally, with this this twenty one 297 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:51.240 percent approval rating that the Democrat Party has right now, 298 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.480 I mean it's it's even worse. It's in the teens. 299 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.159 Only the people that think that favorable rating is like 300 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:01.720 very fam for the Democratic Party, which I don't know 301 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.039 you could ever think that they're very favorable. It's like 302 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.399 sixteen seventeen percent right now. This is the lowest it's 303 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:08.039 ever been. 304 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:10.519 Yeah, it was a CNN pull out the other day 305 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.039 that said exactly that, and they pulled Democrats and you know, CNN, 306 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:15.519 no bastion of rights. 307 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:22.159 But shift it another five points. Yeah, well whatever they 308 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.440 say is shifted again. They're at minus five. Yeah. Yeah, 309 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.200 But I think we got a chance. And it's like, 310 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.360 if we can just get some energy behind guys like 311 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.919 Cory and get down there and start pushing and really 312 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.120 focus on some of the things that the Democrats have 313 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.039 failed us at, which is a lot. Uh, I think 314 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.240 we got a chance. I mean, our city's not going anywhere. 315 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.279 It's just not no. You see the other day where 316 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:50.039 the Business Career had a thing that said, the only 317 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.480 reason we've had any migration to this city is because 318 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.639 of immigration. A lot of the open border stuff that's 319 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.159 happened over Biden, which now you know is shut down. 320 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.600 I mean they're closing down some of the some of 321 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.559 the spots, the hotspots on the border because there's nobody 322 00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:06.840 coming across the border right now. 323 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.879 Yeah, down to it's off ninety four percent mostistics, that's right. 324 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.840 And they're gonna save even more money by not having 325 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.960 all these border patrol agents down there. So those just 326 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.080 said they're gonna save another five hundred million dollars or 327 00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.039 something because they're just not showing up because they know better. 328 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:25.679 At this point. I mean, you got helicopters flying around, 329 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.519 you got all this stuff up. 330 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:31.039 But Mexico cooperating to a Mexico finally cooperating. 331 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:32.879 I mean, these guys around a mile in the ocean 332 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.200 trying to float to the United States now and they're 333 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.399 catching them out there. But it's like you've had those 334 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.799 policies in place for so long, which has led to 335 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:45.039 migration to cities like Cincinnati. But where's the migration coming from. 336 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.480 If that stops, nobody is coming here. 337 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:52.840 Well, perhaps because the infrastructure is falling apart, seem to 338 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:57.639 have an incompetence in administration, and well they make it 339 00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.320 very difficult to do business in the city. 340 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.759 Yeah, very difficult. Yeah, I mean, and I'm out here, 341 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.359 you know, we're doing another business now. I'm heading up 342 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.799 to Detroit to go talk to some people on Wednesday, 343 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.880 raising some money up there. But it's like, you've got 344 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.519 a lot of problems in the Midwest. Detroit's one of 345 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.440 the cities, Cleveland obviously, these these russ Belt cities that 346 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:20.400 just haven't been able to turn the corner. And it 347 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.920 looked like for a while there we were going to 348 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.200 start doing it, but under the current administration, things have 349 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.359 just kind of slowed down. Or you got all this 350 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:31.319 crime down on the banks.
