WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:14.080 Five o five at fifty five r C Detalk Station, 2 00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:33.240 Happy Wednesday, the vacation and that's the way the news 3 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.159 goes Yeah or doesn't, as the case may be, depending 4 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.960 upon your perception of the top of the iron is right, 5 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.880 Joe right, I was right here, Joe Trecker. Glad to 6 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.520 see him in there where he belongs. The executive production booth. 7 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.640 Jack Abden always loves seeing Jack's name on the rundown, 8 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:59.320 and it happens every Wednesday of late the Trump's Biblical Cabinet. Wow, 9 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:01.880 Jack Etherdan's going to be explaining himself at seven oh 10 00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.519 five on that one. Is there something biblical about Drum's cabinet? 11 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.799 I don't know, but we'll see what Jack has to 12 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.000 say about it. I always appreciate his thoughtful insights and commentary. 13 00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.400 Brilliant man he is. So it's just a wonderful, wonderful 14 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.680 addition to have him on the fifty five Casey Morning Show. 15 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.159 My feeling about it anyway, and Climont County Veteran Services 16 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.400 joins the program at seven forty. Always have great things 17 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.920 to pass along and information to pass along to veterans 18 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.319 and the veteran families. Today at seven forty. We'll be 19 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:34.079 doing just that. And I'm really not to discount Jack 20 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.120 at the other day or the Climont County veterans, but 21 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:39.079 I'm really looking forward to eight oh five Alex Chionta Filo. 22 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.760 He'll be commenting on things political. Ohio did great, Hamilton 23 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.599 County not so much. I'm guessing those are the words 24 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:55.760 of Joe Strekker on the rundown, stating the obvious. I 25 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.560 just think of my wife's reaction before I went to 26 00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.159 bed on election. I certainly not knowing what the outcome 27 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.920 of of the vast majority of the election is going 28 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.359 to be, but having pretty much all the Hamilton County 29 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.560 races completely called by that point in seeing that Hamilton 30 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.960 County has gone full on one hundred percent blue. We 31 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.199 lost Hamilton County prosecutor powers, we didn't get Sheriff Jim Neal, 32 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.479 and then go around all the other races. It is 33 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.240 just over my lifetime. I had the conversation just yesterday 34 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.960 with someone about that, how is it that Hamilton County 35 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.680 has gotten so damn blue? And my thought was, I 36 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.919 guess people just left. You know, our population increases, the 37 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.560 world is a much bigger place now we've got a 38 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.639 lot more people in it, you know, physically bigger, but 39 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.919 at least in terms of number of people, and over time, 40 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.479 people you know, expand move. They want to build a 41 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.680 bigger house on a bigger lot. They go out of 42 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.800 Hamilton County and take their money and their conservative politics 43 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:58.800 with them. Congratulations Claremont County, Butler County and Warren County. Anyway, 44 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.159 Alex will comment on that, but inside baseball, will he 45 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.759 tell us who JD. Van's replacement will be? Does he 46 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.560 have any insight on that? About the State House? Is 47 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:18.080 that your question, Joe? All of them are yours? How 48 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.240 about no, I'm just gonna answer your question that will 49 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:26.479 they be constituent friendly? Will the cats in Columbus be herded? 50 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.759 Will they get on the same page? And what, if anything, 51 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.159 can we do in Hamilton County? Of course, going back 52 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:38.479 to the initial overarching conversation topics with Alex Chirantifido again 53 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.560 eightoh five for that, and then a really wild episode 54 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.879 with Judge Edna Polatano his column three cheers for Hunter's pardon. 55 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.520 Now you're gonna wonder why Judge and Polatona might be 56 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.879 happy about the pardon, And I don't know these are 57 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.960 happy about the partner. He's happy about the discussion that 58 00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:00.400 he hopes will spring from it. Are you're going to 59 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:06.120 have to go hardcore constitutional conservatism. The limitations on the 60 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.599 federal government that are in bold letters in the Constitution. 61 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.120 But the power of the federal government has gotten so 62 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.720 big in spite of the limitations that the Constitution places 63 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.480 on the federal government. At one point, there were no 64 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.319 federal level crimes, with the exception of treason and I 65 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.839 one other one. But you know, the idea that there 66 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.360 could be prosecutions, for example, income to failure to pay 67 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.439 income taxes. When the founding fathers created the document of 68 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.480 the Constitution, states would be doing that. And there was no, 69 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.120 of course provision for paying income taxes, and the Constitution 70 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.720 wasn'manted to allow for that. But this whole idea of 71 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.680 federal government, you know, expansion and the creation of the FBI, 72 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.199 and all of these federal crimes. In the judge's position, 73 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.879 I think from a hardcore pure constitutional perspective, they're all 74 00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.720 extra constitutional. So it's one thing to you know, say, yeah, 75 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.519 everybody else would have been prosecuted under the law. Hunter 76 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.920 Biden's getting a free pass. He is of course he's 77 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.040 being treated better than the rest of us would be 78 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.720 because he's the President's son. President's got the power of 79 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.560 the part, and who else enjoys that. Well, he's getting 80 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.399 the benefit of it, and it's really hurting the Democrats politically. 81 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.360 You and I be mad about it because you and 82 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.240 I would be in the crossairs of some federal agency, 83 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.759 the Department of Justice of the FBI. We would be 84 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:26.879 prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We would 85 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.519 have already probably been in jail right now. But behind 86 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.759 all that, the judge's point being, the Constitution doesn't even 87 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.360 allow for any of that, so more of a legal 88 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:44.160 theoretical kind of thing, and of course judge tends to 89 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.600 do that, so it makes this conversations interesting. So if 90 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.360 you want to give me a call five one, three, seven, 91 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.759 four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to 92 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.279 three talk pound five fifty on AT and T funds. 93 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.160 Of course, case Hunter Biden's name is still all over 94 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.199 the news and people are still reacting to it, and 95 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.720 Democrats pulling their hair out over the whole thing because 96 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.639 it made them all look like liars and idiots, and 97 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:07.959 it took the wind out of their sales about being 98 00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.720 able to point to Donald Trump and say, oh, he 99 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.079 thinks he's above the law. You know, you get the 100 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.800 basic premise of it, But I thought this thing was 101 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:22.480 particularly funny on a number of levels. Federal judge who 102 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.199 was overseeing the Hunter Biden tax cases, had a bit 103 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.959 of a rebuke of President Biden's claim issued or statements 104 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.519 issued at the time he issued the pardon, the predicate 105 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.959 for the pardon, the whole idea that he was treated unfairly. 106 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.079 US District Judge Mark Scarze, Central District of California for 107 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.839 keeping track q's President Biden, and what is described by 108 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.759 Fox News as a scathing five page order of in 109 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:59.279 the judge's words, rewriting history with the pardon and suggesting 110 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.439 that the bread of the pardon granted to his son 111 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:07.240 is unconstitutional. Speaking of things constitutional, maybe you we'll get 112 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.199 the judge a comment on this. He wrote, quote, the 113 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.560 Constitution provides the president with the broad authority to grant 114 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:17.199 reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, but 115 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.399 nowhere does the Constitution give the president the authority to 116 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:28.079 rewrite history. Soar as he went on reacting to the 117 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.680 President's statement on his son's tax case. 118 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.279 Quote. 119 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:36.079 The President asserts that mister Biden was treated differently from 120 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.000 others who were late in paying their taxes because of 121 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.800 serious addictions. The implication that Biden was among those individuals 122 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.040 who ultimately paid taxes due to the due to addiction 123 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.879 untimely taxes, rather not ultimately he did ultimately pay them. 124 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.199 But that's beside the point of course I was addicted. 125 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.839 I didn't pay my taxes. I'm sorry. It was my drugs. 126 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:03.160 The judgment, that's not true. According to the President, no 127 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.879 reasonable person who looks at the facts that mister Biden's 128 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:10.759 cases can reach any other conclusion than mister Biden was 129 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:16.160 singled out only because he is the President's son. But 130 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:21.079 two federal judges expressly rejected Biden's arguments that the government 131 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.199 prosecuted mister Biden because of his famelia relation to the 132 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.959 President and the president's own attorney general and Department of 133 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:35.480 Justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charge. In 134 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:40.360 the President's estimation, this legion of federal civil sergeon servants, 135 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.639 the undersigned included, meaning himself the judge, are unreasonable people. 136 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:51.960 Judge said he would dispose of the case. He was 137 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.000 he found fault with the way the pardon was issued. 138 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:58.759 It was a technical thing. He has a hyperlink link 139 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.120 that that allowed people to go over clicking on the 140 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.440 link to see the wording of the pardon. And he said, 141 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.120 and that's not satisfactory. It's got to be formally executed. 142 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.159 And I will dismiss all this stuff once has been 143 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.360 formally executed. But I fought one of the comical points 144 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:17.080 on this, The judge wrote, subject to the following discussion, 145 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:22.480 the Court assumes the pardon is effective and will dispose 146 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.960 of the case, referencing the formality. The Supreme Court long 147 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:34.039 has recognized that, notwithstanding its nearly unlimited nature, the pardon 148 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:40.000 power extends only two past offenses. Close quote. Now, why 149 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.039 do I find that funny? Because, first off, you know, 150 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.360 we all joke about and in awe of and dismay 151 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.879 over the reality that you know, he gave basically Hunter 152 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:54.200 Biden a free pass for literally anything the guy did 153 00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:00.480 that represents a federal crime. Now he can't pardon him 154 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.879 for state crime. So if you know Hunter Biden committed 155 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.000 murder in the state of New York, it may have 156 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.120 been you know, going back to Nepolitana's point about the 157 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.440 seis scope and expansive nature of the federal government and 158 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:14.559 the crimes under it. Murder, I guess, in certain circumstances 159 00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.679 actually can be found to be a federal crime. But 160 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.480 if he committed murder in the state of New York, 161 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.679 New York law would govern and the pardon wouldn't cover him. So, okay, 162 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.720 five years ago he blew somebody away with his formally 163 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.919 disposed of in a trash can near a high school handgun, 164 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.080 then he can still go to jail for it. But 165 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.879 I think the judge is a little skeptical that hunter 166 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.600 Biden is going to Oh, here's upon keep his nose clean, 167 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.679 noting that the pardon power extends only two passed offenses. 168 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:50.120 So judge pointing out that a hunter, don't go back 169 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.919 to your old ways because that piece of paper that 170 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:57.039 saved your life and your neck while ruining the political 171 00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.000 careers of a lot of Democrats and taking the wind 172 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.519 out of their sales. As Trump gets ready to be 173 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:06.120 sworn into office next January, you could still be held 174 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.559 accountable five sixteen fifty five care see the talk station 175 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.919 five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred eight 176 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.279 hundred and eighty two to three Talk Go the toon five 177 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:16.519 fifty on eighteen T Funds got a comment, love to 178 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:17.759 hear from me. I'll be right back. 179 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.080 They don't just want to control our healthcare live do. 180 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.399 Control our children's buying through their education system. Loud. 181 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.200 We have to fight to take America back and logo. 182 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.360 You have the luxury of giving your opinion. It's just 183 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.759 neighbors being neighborly. 184 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.480 Yeah, I'll agree with the whole heart Lake of course 185 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:36.759 most of the time. 186 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.279 Bring it back to what the founding fault is believes in. 187 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.600 That's the individual whipping and the individual responsibility that goes 188 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:42.960 with us. 189 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.000 Fifty five PRC the Talk stations. 190 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:54.559 Station five twenty on a Wednesday extra special Wednesday Listener 191 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.799 Lunch Wednesday. Looking forward to that and I hope you 192 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.840 are as well. Be a Price Hill Chili. Closing out 193 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.759 the year, Bob Wetter, mister Wishtree himself is going to 194 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:08.000 be there dressed as Santa Claus and strong encouragement for 195 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:09.759 you to help out those in need by getting an 196 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.039 ornament off one of the multitude of wish trees out 197 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.720 there that are almost everywhere and you can ship it 198 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.200 directly to the person in need of the group that's 199 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.240 that hung the ornament up in need, I think you 200 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.720 bring it back to wherever you pick up the ornament 201 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.320 in the first place. Bob will give you all the 202 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.919 details on that today. I just want to support the organization. 203 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.600 Bob's been at this since nineteen eighty five. Just really 204 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.200 a great thing he does every year. And as far 205 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.080 as Listener Lunch goes, I did mention we're going to 206 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.559 be a Price Hell Chili gonna go a new direction 207 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.159 next year. 208 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:38.720 Maybe. 209 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.559 I know we have our favorite places to go and 210 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.720 you know short on the list of course Priceal Chili, 211 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.200 and Ron's Roost and Anderson Pub and Grow. And I'm 212 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.159 not going to mention all my West Side places like 213 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.879 Chandlers and anyway, folks who regularly tend Listener to Lunch 214 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.039 know the pretty much the list. We're maybe going to 215 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.519 maybe hitting some breweries next year. We're gonna start with 216 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.159 High Green Brewery in January. That's on Winton Road. They 217 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.759 got a really nice menu there. It looks like everything 218 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.639 that it's going to have something for everybody in terms 219 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.799 of the menu. And then back to Little Miami Brewery 220 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.240 in Milford. I talked to Debbie, the woman who I 221 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.480 sort of have on retention to shadow, to set up 222 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.120 listener lunch. I said, maybe we can just, you know, 223 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.679 once a month hit a new brewery. Lord knows there's 224 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.039 no shortage of them. I said, first thing start with 225 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.320 is that they have a at least reasonably comprehensive menu, and 226 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.759 then we'll move on from there. So that's kind of 227 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.480 the theory and the the idea behind it. We'll see 228 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.919 how things shake out in twenty twenty five. Beyond that, 229 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.240 I thought this was a little bit scary as Vva 230 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:46.360 Ramaswammy and the Doge Department, looking for places to save 231 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.600 money shut down. Ramaswammy wants to pull the plug on 232 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:53.399 that battery plant over in Indiana. Of course, in order 233 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.519 to make these batteries, you got to have the well 234 00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:00.519 rare earth minerals, right, the key ingredients for making these batteries, 235 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:02.960 and sadly get the vast majority of that comes from China, 236 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.919 so we directly support China's economy. Get a load of this. 237 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:12.960 China just announced some restrictions banning certain specific rare earth minerals. 238 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.159 So we have the Biden administration issuing new restrictions on 239 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:21.279 China's semiconductor industry. They're calling it a tit for tat. 240 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:27.440 Beijing announced an export ban on the following gallium, germanium, antimony, 241 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:32.320 as well as other critical minerals with I would argue 242 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:37.200 significant potential military implications for the United States. Bloomberg reporting 243 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.960 on this one, saying that the Chinese Communist Ministry announced 244 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:46.039 the new export controls yesterday morning, adding that tighter controls 245 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.960 on graphite sales will also be seen, suggesting this ain't 246 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.120 over yet. According to the statement, the US has generalized 247 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.159 the concept of national security and politicized and weaponized econom 248 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:04.039 trade and tech issues. It has abused export control measures 249 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:08.399 and unreasonably restricted certain products. Are product exports to China? 250 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.279 All true and with more to come if you think 251 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.200 about what Trump's been saying, but you know, tariffs and 252 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:20.879 export restrictions, et cetera. Now, Biden administration on Monday revealed 253 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.960 broader restrictions on these artificial intelligence chips that can be 254 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:28.840 delivered to China, prohibiting the sale of advanced chips to 255 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.720 more than one hundred Chinese companies. In other words, the 256 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.639 military and China is going to use them. We don't 257 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.360 want to help the Chinese military with our cutting edge chips, Ergo, 258 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.519 we're not going to send them there anymore. Commerce Secretary 259 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.080 Go Riomando told reporters on over the weekend on Sunday, 260 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.919 the move represented these strongest controls ever enacted by the 261 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.679 US to degrade the PRC's ability to make the most 262 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:55.360 advanced chips and that they're using in their military modernization. 263 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.759 Said they. You know, they worked closely with experts and 264 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:02.440 then history and allied countries to ensure that our actions 265 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:10.440 protect national security while minimizing unintended commercial consequences. Well, maybe 266 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.240 China isn't played by the commercial consequence rules, because of course, 267 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:19.679 after that announcement was made, this announcement about the banning 268 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.519 of these various rare earth minerals was announced. And here's 269 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.600 where the fun part comes. China produces ninety four percent 270 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.840 of the world's gallium eighty three percent of the germanium 271 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:39.759 critical metals used in the production of semiconductors, LEDs, and transistors. Okay, 272 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.879 and they had a breakdown here. I found this on Breitbart, 273 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.399 the breakdown of rare earth materials used to make each 274 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.360 go to Europe no longer necessary and ridiculously expensive f 275 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.759 thirty five airplane. Nine hundred and twenty pounds in that one. 276 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:01.039 You know, Arlely Burke DDG DASH fifty one looks like 277 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:04.440 a destroyer of some sort. That's five two hundred pounds 278 00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.680 in one of those boats. And to cribbage, my submarine 279 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.960 or friend in SSN with seven seventy four Virginia class 280 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.880 submarine has nine thousand, two hundred pounds of rare earth 281 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.079 ingredients going back to some of which China produces the 282 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:27.359 vast majority of senior analysts at the consulting firm Trivia, 283 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.880 a Trivium China guy named Joe Mazer, speaking with Bloomberg, 284 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:35.000 said these export bands on critical minerals have been in 285 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.519 the hopper for a long time and are intended as 286 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.400 a warning. He said it's a clear signal of China's 287 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.920 preparedness strike back more forcefully against the US economic pressure 288 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.640 than it has in the past few years. Accord to 289 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.279 data from the US Geological Survey, we here in the 290 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:54.599 United States import about half our supply of gallium and 291 00:17:54.640 --> 00:18:03.160 germanium metals from right China. It's you know, they got 292 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.480 you by the short ones, if you really think about it. 293 00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:07.640 We learned a lot of lessons in COVID nineteen and 294 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.599 one of the biggest lessons I think we all learned 295 00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:17.400 is apparently we are just inextricably intertwined with I guess 296 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:22.359 probably our biggest foe in the world, China. We get 297 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.920 everything from him, including critical resources that may go into 298 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.039 our pharmaceuticals. Five twenty six fifty five are seed de 299 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.359 talk station. Local stories coming up. Feel free to call. 300 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.200 I'd rather talk to you than do local stories, but 301 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.119 we do with that Ana Stack is stupid coming up 302 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:36.759 of you right back. 303 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.559 As we embrace the end of an era. 304 00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:42.079 The outcome of this election is not just what we 305 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:43.160 want to defeat. 306 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:44.799 Does not mean we are defeated. 307 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.880 There's plenty to celebrate this holiday season and it's dead. 308 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.079 Hopefully this isn't the last time I call in feeling 309 00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:51.480 this good. 310 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.720 I'm happy about everything. 311 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.599 Yeah, I think he's got a great game of people 312 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:55.119 around him. 313 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:56.880 I just want the man protected. 314 00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:59.759 I am so excited about the potential to changes. 315 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.319 Government and the conversation's happening here. 316 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:03.480 It's really exciting. 317 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.559 On fifty five KRC the talk station. 318 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.920 There as nine first winning we the forecast mostly cloudy 319 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:16.200 and windy day today spotty showers shown up after seven pm. 320 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.079 Today's nigh forty two down to eighteen overnight with a 321 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.880 little bit of wintery snow mix and small dusting possible. 322 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.680 Mostly sunny, breezy. Thursday high at twenty six feeling more 323 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:32.759 like fifteen degrees. Uh Thursday night, pardon me, sixteen degrees 324 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.799 with mostly clear skies and a sunning day on Friday 325 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.960 high up thirty four twenty three degrees right now, but 326 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.240 you by KCC talk station five thirty one Happy Wednesday 327 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.400 probably one thirty seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty 328 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:51.599 two three talk found five fifty on eighteen to t 329 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.200 funds over the local story. A little over a year 330 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:57.519 and a half after its debut, a safe Haven baby box, 331 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:00.279 the one in Lovinon, was actually used to s render 332 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.319 a baby girl, according to Lebanon Police. The box, located 333 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:05.960 at the fire station on North Broadway, installed October of 334 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:11.799 last year, the tenth one in Ohio. On Monday, Lebanon 335 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.240 Police said the City of Lebanon Communications Center received an 336 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.000 alarm from the box spent three point thirty in the afternoon. 337 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:20.359 Police fire responded They found a baby girl had been surrendered, 338 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.000 immediately taking it since a children's hospital and Warren County 339 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:27.759 Children's Service officials were notified. Of course, these baby boxes 340 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.799 installed by fire departments across the country, giving parents the 341 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.599 option to safely and securely and anonymously surrender a newborn 342 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:38.440 if they're unable to provide care. Under Ohio law, the 343 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:43.039 baby box, known as a Newborn Safety Incubator, allows parents 344 00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:46.640 to anonymously surrender the newborn without facing any criminal charges. 345 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:51.039 Once the baby is placed inside, the device locks and 346 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:54.119 sends a series of alerts to first responders. Thank god. 347 00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:58.920 Since it's launched in twenty sixteen, thirty five babies have 348 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:07.279 been surrendered nation and wide in these baby boxes. I 349 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.119 guess not everyone can work in advance with an adoption agency, 350 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.880 so certainly I feel very confident that those babies will 351 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.839 find good homes down the road. Let's pray for that, 352 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:23.200 don't speculate that. According to the Cincinnati Fire Department, of course, 353 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.759 we all know about the Dan Carterbeard Bridge. They're in 354 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.079 the process of fixing it. It's taking a little while. 355 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:31.759 We all know it started with a fire beneath the bridge, 356 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:36.599 burning and melting the girders, obviously negating any argument from 357 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:42.359 the nine to eleven skeptics that fire started by airplane 358 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:46.000 fuel could burn a building down. If you can light 359 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:50.640 a well, some rubber in a playground on fire and 360 00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.279 bring a bridge down, we know we have a problem 361 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.559 to question who started it, and that's where the rumors 362 00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.119 circular are circulating. We heard initially maybe it was a 363 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.920 car fire, maybe it was a homeless encampment SINCINNTI Fire 364 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.599 Department of statement yesterday. Sharing information too soon can compromise 365 00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:11.359 the integrity investigation by jeopardizing witness safety, alerting potential suspects, 366 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.759 and revealing crucial strategies. For this reason, until the fire 367 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:20.480 investigative unit has definitive reason to share, we will not 368 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:26.839 be able to share anything. So WCPO attended the Cincinnati Climate, 369 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:31.960 Environment and Infrastructure Committee meeting held last night Apparently that's 370 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.839 held bi weekly, and they asked each member of the 371 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.359 committee about the status of the fire investigation. Basically, each 372 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:42.319 of the council members, Mick Owens, Mark Jeffries, and Jeff Cramerton, 373 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:46.039 as well as Seth Walsh merely confirmed what the fire 374 00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:48.960 department said. We don't know and we're not going to speculate. 375 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:54.160 Mark Jeffries said, you know. They asked if the fire 376 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.000 department needs to share an update on where they are, 377 00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.559 which is I suppose a legitimate question. Can you just 378 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.880 least get us something Jeffrey's response, I do. I asked 379 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.440 the city manager recently when we're going to provide an update. 380 00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.519 I know that there we're working diligently to get to 381 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:09.240 the bottom of it. I think will be helpful now, 382 00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:12.400 given it's a few weeks to just provide an update, 383 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.480 even if it's work in progress, like, hey, we don't 384 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.119 have all the answers, but here are the areas we're exploring, 385 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:20.519 I think will be helpful to share an update, So 386 00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:27.880 I agree something anyway. Nonprofit bike share program Red Bike. 387 00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:32.920 They have enough funds to operate until April next year. 388 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.119 Apparently there are still questions if it can well go 389 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:44.319 beyond that astute observation. For all those folks that are 390 00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:47.039 going to be riding bikes in January, you can get 391 00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.319 a red bike, don't count on it when the warm 392 00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:53.720 weather shows up. Though. You should see Jeff's face right now. 393 00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:56.319 It's times like this I wish we had a camera 394 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:57.839 on him. Well. 395 00:23:57.880 --> 00:23:58.240 I do. 396 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.119 Red Bike apparently looking for long term funding commitments to 397 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.359 continue operations past April, they stayed looking for a three 398 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:12.119 year commitment from public partners. Mark Jefferies Council members that 399 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:13.920 he's been working with a coalition of partners for the 400 00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:17.359 last eight months as he's confident that the deal will 401 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:21.200 be reached for funding before April. Quote, we've had considerations 402 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:25.000 with Northern Kentucky and the Metro. I think in the 403 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:27.720 early part of the year we will have all the commitments. 404 00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:31.960 Red Bike's new financial structure proposal includes moneys from Metro, 405 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:36.359 Northern Kentucky, the City of Cincinnati, and maybe corporate sponsors 406 00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:40.720 or tourist partnerships. Which reminds me of a conversation I 407 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:46.119 had yesterday. Wasn't it just yesterday Joe Strekker with Todd Zenzer, 408 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.759 fraud expert and accountant expert, doing an analysis of the 409 00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:54.160 CINCINNTI pension program. All the money seems to go to 410 00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:56.720 pet projects, and we'll just throw the Red Bike program, 411 00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.680 as cool as it may be, into one of the 412 00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:03.039 pet projects. The penn is so underfunded. We have a colossal, 413 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.200 slow moving train wreck facing us in the City of Cincinnati. 414 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:09.960 Not doing anything about that. Though, if you didn't get 415 00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:12.759 to hear Todd. I recommend strongly you check out that 416 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.599 podcast fifty five k SEE dot com.

Yeah, all we 452 00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:01.680 need to do is red peel the laws of physics 453 00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.480 and we don't have to worry about friction and things 454 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:10.880 like that. Blah, stacker stupid. Now you can call if 455 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:12.359 you won. You know, I go. I say I'd rather 456 00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:16.000 talk to the listeners. But here we go, and wow, 457 00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:19.880 this is pretty amazing to me. Several top veteran affairs 458 00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:25.279 official in Tennessee had to resign following an internal investigation 459 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:31.519 as well as a broader congressional probe into alleged sexual misconduct. 460 00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:36.319 Credit to Breitbart for reporting on this one, congressional investigators 461 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:43.680 discovered that one single guy who resigned, whose name they 462 00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:46.759 did not say out loud, but sources familiar say was 463 00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:52.519 I say it was bargaining, was a bargaining unit biomedical employee. 464 00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.559 One guy had dozens of sexual relationships with women who 465 00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:01.720 worked at the Mountain Home VA Medical Center in Tennessee. 466 00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:08.920 Investigation and investigators told Breitbart this one guy slept with 467 00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:12.880 no fewer than thirty two different women who worked at 468 00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:18.799 this one medical center, and the man had several of 469 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.160 the women and bragged about their exploits, heading insult to 470 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.640 injury on an online group forum on a government communication 471 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.720 portal that VA officials used to communicate about veteran healthcare 472 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:34.960 and facility operations. Apparently, what's more, sources familiar with the 473 00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:39.480 congressional investigation said the uncovered than an orgy of at 474 00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:43.079 least twelve officials who worked at the facility took place. 475 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.319 At this point, not clear whether it happened on government 476 00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:50.759 I know, on government property at the VA facility or 477 00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:53.519 an off site orgy. But well, I guess the point 478 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:56.559 that being that a dozen government workers all got together, 479 00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:02.359 all employed in the same place. At least two of 480 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.720 the employees of the facility admitted to having sex on 481 00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:09.519 the grounds of the VA hospital. The senior Congressional aid 482 00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:12.000 familiar with the facts of the ongoing investigation, speaking with 483 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.440 Breke bart quote, the fact that the culture would even 484 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:17.720 allow this to happen in the first place is absolutely wild, 485 00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:21.400 and it all starts at the top, so it threatens 486 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:24.119 to upend the closing days of the outgoing to Democrat 487 00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:28.720 President Joe Biden's administration. Couldn't go senior officials like VA 488 00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:35.200 Secretary Dennis McDonagh, I don't know. In addition to the 489 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:38.519 biomedical employee, the guy who investigators said had sex with 490 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:43.240 again thirty two different women, several other officials have also resigned, 491 00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:47.480 and the as the investigations have gotten in have intensified. 492 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:50.160 The director of the Mountain Home facility also resigned, and 493 00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:56.599 at least two other employees there have resigned thirty two 494 00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:03.880 and one facility. Let's just say they have rather loose 495 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:08.400 moral standards, wouldn't you. I'm not here to cast argue. 496 00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:17.720 I'm here to cast judgment. But wow, what about all 497 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:19.160 the other people that work there? Do they do you 498 00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:21.480 think they feel left out that they weren't included in 499 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:24.799 the whole mix. I don't know.

Who can argue with that. 551 00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:14.000 Last Friday afternoon, thirty one year old woman arrested for 552 00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:19.799 strong arm robbery after she became a hostile both verbically 553 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.839 and physically. That's in the arrest report after fast food 554 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:29.440 workers did not include eight eight raising cane dipping sauce 555 00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:34.720 containers in her pickup order. What, according to the court reports, 556 00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:39.759 Mackenzie neil A Keeling rather picked up her grub from 557 00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:43.359 a Raising Caine's restaurant in Clearwater. Later discovering that she 558 00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:49.319 was missing eight packs of Caine's sauce, she went back 559 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.680 to the restaurant spoke to the female manager who provided 560 00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:56.680 the achilling with the dipping sauce. However, the manager, Tatiana Herbert, 561 00:33:56.799 --> 00:34:03.319 declined her request that she provided with extra sauces in 562 00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:09.280 return for, in the woman's words, wasting her time in gasoline. So, 563 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:12.679 after being denied the sauce, Keeling became what was described 564 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:17.760 as hostile, both verbally and physically, began yelling at the eatery, 565 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:24.239 disturbing staff and customers, and during this tirade, Kling shot 566 00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:26.800 out of her shot out her right hand with force, 567 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.360 hitting Herbert in the in one of her legs, and 568 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.840 then she then allegedly tried to tear off the victim's 569 00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:38.719 keys and Kine's ID from a lanyard attached to Herbert's belt. 570 00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.800 Police pointed out the victim was in fear and noted 571 00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.599 that a couple of raising Kine's employees were there to 572 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:48.320 witness the whole thing, and the whole thing was captured 573 00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:54.000 on close circuit television footage. No kidding, just killing. Arrested 574 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:55.760 and booked into the County Jail, from which she was 575 00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:59.320 released on a twenty five hundred dollars bond. Her lawyer 576 00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:03.559 entered it not plea on her behalf, presumably to give 577 00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:08.400 him enough time to negotiate a settlement agreement. And it's 578 00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:13.480 pointed out here, an extra one point five ounce container 579 00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:18.360 of Cain's dipping sauce, beloved by executive producer Joe Strecker, 580 00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:23.039 costs thirty nine cents. So these things aren't free, and 581 00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:25.599 you should have no expectation that you should be given 582 00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:28.400 eight of them with your one order of whatever Cain's 583 00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:35.800 product you bought. How's that we go to Western Connecticut, 584 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:39.199 a multi million dollar mansion destroyed by a fire happened 585 00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:42.519 on Thanksgiving. Western Fire Department responded to the fire three 586 00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:45.840 forty PM. Said the callers initially described the incident as 587 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.199 a garage fire, but when the firefighters got there, apparently 588 00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:51.400 the fire had rapidly extended to the home. And I'm 589 00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:53.400 staring at a picture of it and I would say, yeah, 590 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.320 it's completely engulfed in flames. They tried what they called 591 00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:02.840 an aggressive fire attack. Anyway, the dangerous fire conditions were overwhelming, 592 00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:06.400 and the entire home burned down multi million dollar home. 593 00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:06.880 It was. 594 00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:11.280 Apparently, in addition to that problem, a vehicle drove over 595 00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:13.920 the water supply hose on the road. Fire officials said 596 00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:16.239 that damaged the line and completely stopped the flow of 597 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:19.840 water for several minutes, and at that point firefighters defensive 598 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:23.079 operations were initiated and personnel remained unseen for more than 599 00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:28.599 sixteen hours. Cord to the Western Fire Department statement, the 600 00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:31.400 cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Western 601 00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:36.599 Fire Marshal. However, based on the preliminary investigation, it appears 602 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.480 the fire began in the garage and was the result 603 00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:45.880 of deep frying a turkey. Idiots doing idiot things because 604 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:52.920 there idiots home. Yet a stute observation, just tracker who 605 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.639 pointed out they could figure out that this multi million 606 00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:57.800 it's actually three point eight million dollar home burned to 607 00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:02.039 the ground, but because of a turkey fire, they can't 608 00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:08.119 figure out what burned down the Dan Beard Bridge. Legitimate point. 609 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:13.280 Let's see here, Florida man, let's stay in Florida. Mom 610 00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:17.199 there allegedly stole several items from Target using what they 611 00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:20.320 call a bar code trick, police said, though she posted 612 00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:24.480 incriminating evidence on her popular tictok account that ultimately alerted 613 00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.840 authorities to her crimes and leading to her arrest twenty 614 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:31.119 three years yep. Marlena VELAs twenty two hosts a TikTok 615 00:37:31.159 --> 00:37:33.480 page posting more than three hundred and fifty six thousand 616 00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:38.960 followers that receives millions of views. Don't know why. Her 617 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:42.920 Marlena Villas account features mom content with her two small 618 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:47.880 children and also highlights products. Cape Coral Police Department accused 619 00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:50.559 they're stealing hundreds of dollars in merchandise from a Target 620 00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:55.480 store commenced. The caper commenced October thirtieth when the loss 621 00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:58.280 prevention team over at Target Cape Coral caught a woman 622 00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:02.880 using the self checkout register without scanning the product's actual 623 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:07.159 bar codes. Instead, she allegedly scanned a fake bar code, 624 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:11.239 of course, with cheaper prices and a press release, police 625 00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:14.679 said sixteen nights miscellanious household goods clothing were stolen. Total 626 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.440 losses stolen items valued at five hundred dollars and thirty 627 00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:21.840 two cents. They verified this with Target security cameras. They 628 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:26.079 shared video screenshots shots of her on social media pages 629 00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:29.519 and asked the public to help identify her as she 630 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:32.599 was unknown to police, but of course, because she's not 631 00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:37.760 unknown on TikTok, officers ultimately found her TikTok account, which 632 00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:40.880 documents her getting ready on October thirtieth in the same 633 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.840 outfit and glasses going to target. 634 00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:47.519 Marlee, you're stupid now shot. 635 00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.920 Marlena documents herself picking out items inside the store and 636 00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:57.800 placing them in her car after exiting the store. That 637 00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:01.159 TikTok post appears to have been deleted social media account, 638 00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:04.039 but police downloaded the incriminating video before it was scrubbed 639 00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:10.280 from her age five fifty six afty five car CD 640 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:12.599 talk station plenty coming up at the six o'clock hour. 641 00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:14.840 I would enjoy hearing from you.

Seven Clarmont County Veteran Services returns 679 00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:05.760 to talk about well veteran services. Alex Charantifilo coming up 680 00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:08.480 with two hours. We're looking forward to having Alex on 681 00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:12.440 the program. Ohio Republican Party chairman he is, we'll get 682 00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:14.920 the inside baseball. Does he know anything about who jd. 683 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:17.480 Vance's replacement is going to be? If he does, will 684 00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:20.360 he tell us State House? 685 00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:23.440 Just J. 686 00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:26.880 Ecker wants to know, will they be constituent friendly? Will 687 00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.239 someone be able to herd the cats that are the 688 00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:32.239 Republican Party here in the state of Ohio in Columbus? 689 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:35.039 And what if anything can be done about Hamilton County. 690 00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:37.840 Obviously we've shifted completely blue. Is there any way to 691 00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:41.039 bring the flag back in Hamilton County? I don't know. 692 00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:42.639 I don't know if Alex knows, but we're going to 693 00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:45.119 tap his intellect for that. In the eight o'clock hour, 694 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:47.519 and of course, Judge Ennen of Polatano with an interesting 695 00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:50.840 take on Hunter Biden's pardon, moving away from whether or 696 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.440 not it was right or wrong, regardless of the politics 697 00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:58.199 of it. The politano thinks that it's extra constitutional the 698 00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:03.400 crimes that he has and he was accused of committing, like, 699 00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:07.880 for example, the Second Amendment, the right to keep him 700 00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:11.079 bare arms shall not be infringe. Well, why is it 701 00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:14.519 then that you have to fill out an FFL form 702 00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:18.400 to acquire a firearm? At least in some cases, of course, 703 00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:19.960 you buy one from your neighbor. You don't have to 704 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.360 do that. That's the gun show loophole that so many 705 00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:26.159 Democrats want to get rid of. But if, as the 706 00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:29.280 judge argues, the federal government and the constitutional you know, 707 00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:32.880 the original Constitution and as the country was founded, the 708 00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:36.679 republic that we are, which limits expressly the powers of 709 00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:41.519 the federal government to certain specific defined areas which do 710 00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:45.599 not include all include the thousands and thousands of federal 711 00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:49.599 crimes on the books. So yeah, Hunter Biden is guilty 712 00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:52.159 of the charges. He agreed that he was guilty. He 713 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.880 admitted the lying on his income taxes, and he of 714 00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:59.239 course was found guilty of the firearms charge. If the 715 00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:05.400 underlying crimes are not constitutional, it's something to think about. 716 00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:07.760 It's food for thought. We'll be going to law school 717 00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:10.599 with Judge of Poloton at eight thirty to talk about 718 00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:12.639 that on a theoretical level. And I think at the 719 00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:14.960 end of the column that I that I'm thankful to 720 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:20.360 get early. If history is a guide, my hopes, along 721 00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:27.039 with those of Thomas Jefferson, are illusory. No, I don't 722 00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:28.639 think the federal government is going to get rid of 723 00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:31.400 its criminal code. I'd love to hear from you. For 724 00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:34.280 got a comment five one three seven fifty, eight hundred 725 00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:35.920 and eight two three taco with Tom five fifty on 726 00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:38.239 eighteen and t found And back over to Hunter Biden's 727 00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:40.440 and still the hot topic going on in the world today. 728 00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:43.159 We call that topic a I guess in radio that's 729 00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:49.079 what they call it anyway, speaking because they did all 730 00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:52.480 the behind the scenes research. The whistleblowers Joseph Ziegler and 731 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:59.679 Gary Shapeley defending themselves in an opinion piece Hunter Biden's 732 00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:03.280 Pardon your tax dollars at work? Ordinary Americans are held 733 00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:07.360 accountable when they defraud the irs, not the president's son, 734 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:12.920 stating the obvious. So we got this whole series of 735 00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:18.079 events leading up to the pardon of Hunter Biden. And 736 00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:21.679 as they point out, these Disney narrative shifts happened because 737 00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:26.320 of the two of us blew the whistle and exposed 738 00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:29.719 the preferential treatment the Biden Justice Department gave to a 739 00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:34.239 powerful political family. Our story never changed because we told 740 00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:39.639 the truth. Going back to the reasons, President Biden articulated 741 00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:42.440 for issuing the pardon of his poor son, who was 742 00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:46.400 picked on by evil forces in the government. That sounds familiar. 743 00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:50.960 They say President Biden's pardon is an insult to every honest, 744 00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:56.480 tax paying American. He claimed that his own Justice department 745 00:44:56.519 --> 00:45:01.320 unfairly targeted his son. On the contrary, we the irs investigators, 746 00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:07.360 produced mountains of evidence and testified under oath about the 747 00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:14.000 machinations his Justice Department, including mister Weiss, used to shield 748 00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:17.639 the Biden family from a thorough investigation of alleged corruption 749 00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:23.280 in Ukraine, Romania and China. Those of us who remember, 750 00:45:23.360 --> 00:45:25.679 these are the guys that wanted to interview him. These 751 00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:27.440 are the guys that were told they couldn't interview them. 752 00:45:27.639 --> 00:45:29.679 These are the guys that were victims of the slow 753 00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.840 walking of the investigation which caused the statute limitations to 754 00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:36.199 run out on all these behind the scenes criminal activity 755 00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:41.280 and probably FARO violations. As they point out that this 756 00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:43.800 year jury found Hunter Biden guilty of federal gun charges 757 00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:48.480 in Delaware, and he pleaded guilty to wilful. He emphasized 758 00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:53.239 that word wilful tax felonies in California. President's letter falsely 759 00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:56.440 suggests that his son was merely late in filing and 760 00:45:56.519 --> 00:46:01.039 paying his taxes because of serious addictions. He wrote that 761 00:46:01.199 --> 00:46:04.119 in such cases, when back taxes are paid with penalties 762 00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:08.039 and interests, they are often resolved without criminal penalties. But 763 00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:16.000 his son was treated different differently. That's malarkey, they wrote, 764 00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:21.159 of course, not even bailed reference to Joe Biden's favorite word. 765 00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:25.679 The American people need to know, and the President's letter 766 00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:32.079 omits that Hunter Biden admitted to intentional felony tax evasion, 767 00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:39.000 criminal charges for which ordinary Americans are held accountable every day. 768 00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:43.760 Hunter Biden admitted that he filed false tax returns with 769 00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:52.199 the Internal Revenue Service knowingly and willfully while sober false 770 00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:55.760 deductions taken on his tax return contradicted statements he made 771 00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:59.559 in his memoir, which he wrote while sober. These false 772 00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:04.199 deductions included things like sex club membership, luxury vehicle rentals, 773 00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:09.280 and house rentals for his then girlfriend. Ordinary Americans that 774 00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:12.559 be you and me or routine held accountable for that 775 00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:15.599 kind of tax fraudmund Hunter Biden will escape accountability because 776 00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:20.679 his father is president, and Joe Biden's letter doesn't mention 777 00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:24.159 that his broad pardon also absolves his son of any 778 00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:26.920 other crime in the past decade that the Justice Department 779 00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:31.440 didn't fully investigate. A public filing in August, Special Council 780 00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:35.599 Weiss's office allegs that Hunter Biden quote agreed to attempt 781 00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:40.880 to influence US public policy he was quote on behalf 782 00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:44.360 of a Romanian businessman, but didn't charge Hunter with a 783 00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:49.000 violation of the Foreign Agent's Relation Registration Act. I'm not 784 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:53.480 sure if those charges have a statute limitations, folks, But 785 00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:57.320 because they had the evidence that would support a Foreign 786 00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:03.199 Agent Registration Act a charge that could certainly be pursued 787 00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:06.679 by the Trump administration, that's obviously something that Joe Biden 788 00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:13.119 wanted to get ahead of the dishonesty that has infected 789 00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:17.719 the Washington political class must stop, they write, And the 790 00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:21.519 bureaucrats and the Justice Department and IRS who have abused 791 00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:25.000 their power and acted unethically ought to be held accountable. Yeah, 792 00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:26.920 don't hold your breath for that. I'm still waiting for 793 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:29.199 Lois Learner to be held accountable for the actions that 794 00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:32.519 she committed und to the Obama administration. Not gonna happen, 795 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:38.599 they write. The concert retaliation against us as whistleblowers should cease, 796 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:42.480 and those responsibles should be held to account. Nonprofit efforts 797 00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:47.840 such as Defendwhistleblowers dot Com are helping. Without serious reform 798 00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:50.840 and major changes in personnel and policies, something like this 799 00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:55.360 will happen again. We the irs, investigator whistleblowers, will keep 800 00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:58.599 our oathes as sworn federal law enforcement officers, stand up 801 00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.480 for fair and equal treatment of every taxpayer and speak 802 00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:05.920 out against improper politization of the Justice Department, which of 803 00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:08.920 course was the point of their letter to the American people. 804 00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:14.119 Rules for thee, not for me. And the Democrats are 805 00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:18.800 getting angrier and angrier as they view the wasteland before them. 806 00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:22.280 In the aftermath of Joe Barton and Joe Biden's pardon 807 00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:26.360 of his criminal son, taking the wind out of their 808 00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:31.159 sales about Trump and what he might do in the future. 809 00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:34.119 Coming to a six sixteen fifty five KRCD talk station, 810 00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.480 great time to mention doctor Fred Pack. I saw a 811 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:39.960 Facebook post was a couple of weeks ago. I hate 812 00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:42.159 to someone who said they just absolutely hate going to 813 00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.039 the dentists. I'm like, are you kidding me?

He's just a terrific guy that 818 00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:56.000 most state of the art office you're ever going to 819 00:49:56.039 --> 00:50:00.360 go into a dentistry generally speaking, but specifically cosmetic industry 820 00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:03.440 is his true passion. He is a credited fellow with 821 00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:06.280 the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Cream of the Crop. 822 00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:08.039 I think there's only fifty of them in the world. 823 00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:10.360 There's only three of them in the state of Ohio, 824 00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:15.280 along with doctor Meghan Freu.

You know, 853 00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:49.760 not being a resident of the city means, I don't 854 00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:51.239 get the vote on the mirror, I don't get the 855 00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:54.079 vote on the city council, I don't get any of 856 00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:55.840 the handouts. 857 00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:56.599 That continuously go on. 858 00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.119 And what I did, and I would encourage all your 859 00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:03.239 listeners to do the same, those of us who live 860 00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:05.639 outside of the big city limits of Cleveland and Sense 861 00:52:05.800 --> 00:52:06.519 and Columbus. 862 00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:10.320 I sent an email to my state. 863 00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:13.639 Senator Steve Wilson and encourage him to get on your 864 00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:18.800 program and send a preemptive message to Cincinnati first, and 865 00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:22.960 then go to Cleveland and Columbus and tell them that 866 00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:26.719 we are not going to entertain the idea of taking 867 00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:30.639 the pension issue that was created in Cincinnati and put 868 00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:32.800 that on the backs of the rest of Ohioans who 869 00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:34.320 live outside of the city limits. 870 00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:39.000 Ay Man, Jay Kid, that was my biggest question for 871 00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:42.719 Todd is is opers even if they even get down 872 00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:45.480 to a level that'll make it a viable option. That 873 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:48.199 would I think that the payoff half of the debt, 874 00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:50.320 which is like down four hundred million, they got an 875 00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:52.480 eight hundred and fifty do million dollar hole or something 876 00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:53.679 like that. It would have to get down to four 877 00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:56.719 hundred million for OPAHS to even consider it. Why in 878 00:52:56.760 --> 00:52:58.400 the hell would the state of ote I would agree 879 00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:01.079 to take on the ridiculous this pension lie build it 880 00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:04.360 in the city of Cincinnati, ignored and underfunded for decades. 881 00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:05.400 It's insanity. 882 00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:09.480 I love you, I especially with the super majority of 883 00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:13.360 Republicans in Columbus, and I put this at the seat 884 00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:18.000 of the voters of Cincinnati, who have now turned every 885 00:53:18.039 --> 00:53:21.840 single seat, every city council member, every mayor, and every 886 00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:24.559 big city I'll get. Well, go beyond Cincinnati. I think 887 00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:27.760 I learned this on your program. Every city council member, 888 00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:30.800 every mayor, and every big city in Ohio is Democrat. 889 00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:34.199 So people inside the city limits to continue to. 890 00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:37.920 Vote this way, this is your problem. I don't get 891 00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:39.000 to vote, I. 892 00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:43.719 Don't get the weigh in on it. So therefore, why should. 893 00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.400 I, as a a a. 894 00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:49.880 Small business owner have to try to absorb this along 895 00:53:49.920 --> 00:53:53.679 with everything else. And so I would encourage everybody reach 896 00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:55.199 out to your politicians. 897 00:53:55.480 --> 00:53:59.000 And by the way, keep Alicia. 898 00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:02.079 Reese, I think city council member who's constantly talking about 899 00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:03.599 how she needs how we need to get up to 900 00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:06.159 Columbus to make sure that we get our half a 901 00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:08.960 billion dollars to pay in the stadium, because the Cleveland 902 00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:12.519 Browns are, you know, beating us to the trough while 903 00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:15.519 they're at at Columbus. Tell them we're not in the 904 00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:20.039 business to supporting private enterprise so quick, So don't think 905 00:54:20.039 --> 00:54:22.119 about coming up here looking for your football tax. 906 00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:23.159 We're not going to pay it. 907 00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:26.119 And keep your bad decisions inside the city limits. You 908 00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:28.760 guys have to clean this up, and people of Cincinnati 909 00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:29.559 need to vote better. 910 00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:35.960 No vote Democrats A jay and I think again going 911 00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:37.880 back to the question was raised yesterday and what the 912 00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:41.199 hell happened to Hamilton County? How did it get so ployed? Well, 913 00:54:41.559 --> 00:54:43.880 this is the kind of thing over time, anybody with 914 00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:46.280 a measure of common sense, it doesn't realize it doesn't 915 00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:48.880 want to have to deal with these outstanding obligations and 916 00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:51.639 knows full well that the taxes are going to going 917 00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:53.320 to have to go up to fill these holes that 918 00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:55.960 they still want. All this stuff and things that Cincinnati 919 00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:57.880 government things they can provide to them. He's just going 920 00:54:57.920 --> 00:54:59.199 to pack up your bags. You're going to move to 921 00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:02.280 Claremont County, or Warren County, or Butler County, or may 922 00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.960 even head across the river to the beautiful state Commonwealth 923 00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:08.960 of Kentucky.

I mean, 929 00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:25.039 how many years has this hole been getting bigger and bigger? 930 00:55:25.199 --> 00:55:28.159 How many years do you continue to throw taxpayer dollars 931 00:55:28.199 --> 00:55:31.159 at new stuff and things. Oh, I see that you 932 00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:34.360 built a streetcar on debt.

You 935 00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:43.760 had to sell the railroad because you refuse to take 936 00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:47.119 care of the roads and infrastructure that you were responsible for. 937 00:55:47.239 --> 00:55:50.599 Since the moment in time they were built or constructed, 938 00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:53.880 you let them fall apart part every year, the number 939 00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:57.320 of miles of roads you're supposed to repair never gets addressed. 940 00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.440 And that problem just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger, 941 00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:02.159 to the point where you have to sell the most 942 00:56:02.280 --> 00:56:05.559 valuable money generating asset in the city of Cincinnati owns. 943 00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:07.960 I'd call this a problem of your own making.

Appreciate Jay 998 00:59:02.519 --> 00:59:04.760 bringing up that. I mentioned it several times this morning, 999 00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:07.199 and normally I don't over and over and over remind 1000 00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:11.559 you about specific podcasts. But Todd Zenzer did a brilliant 1001 00:59:11.599 --> 00:59:14.880 analysis of that pension problem situation going on in downtown Cincinnati. 1002 00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:17.639 And you know, there they are off chasing pet projects 1003 00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:20.079 left and right. You know, hey, the pension problem keeps 1004 00:59:20.079 --> 00:59:22.639 getting worse worse every year. We're paying out of principle, 1005 00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:27.360 we're losing money, the investments not getting the rate of 1006 00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:29.280 return that we thought it was going to get. Problem 1007 00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:33.360 keeps getting worse. They keep ignoring it. It's one of 1008 00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:35.199 the things he brought up is I can't remember which 1009 00:59:35.239 --> 00:59:38.079 council person wanted to for the taxpayers of the cities 1010 00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:41.440 Cincinnati to pay for installing. Was it stained glass windows 1011 00:59:41.440 --> 00:59:42.239 in Avondale? 1012 00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:42.559 Joe? 1013 00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:45.960 Isn't that what he said? Joe can't remember something like that, 1014 00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:49.840 but it was stained glass windows for homes. Okay, you know, 1015 00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:52.719 I love stained glass windows. I don't expect somebody else 1016 00:59:52.760 --> 00:59:55.840 to pay for them. But any event, just one minor 1017 00:59:56.039 --> 00:59:58.519 of you know, brightened, shiny object that they want to 1018 00:59:58.559 --> 01:00:01.519 chase the check and that allows me to segue nicely 1019 01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:02.840 over to this thing we were making fun of in 1020 01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:08.079 the last hour, The Red Bike. I'm described as a 1021 01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:10.880 nonprofit red bike share program. You may have seen those 1022 01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:12.920 downtown if you borrow the bike and you know it's 1023 01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:15.679 motorized and you con cruise around. They do have enough 1024 01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:21.400 fund to operate until April, but according to Daniel Goodman 1025 01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:25.960 and Rowan reporting the for WCPO, there are questions about 1026 01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:29.960 whether it's going to last beyond April. Props to Joe 1027 01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:32.320 Strecker for observing that probably very few people are going 1028 01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:34.000 to want ride around on a red bike when it's 1029 01:00:34.079 --> 01:00:38.519 seventeen degrees out, but ignore that reality. Red Bike looking 1030 01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:43.079 for long term funding commitments to continue operations past April. 1031 01:00:43.159 --> 01:00:46.920 They say they're looking for three year commitments from public partners. 1032 01:00:47.719 --> 01:00:50.320 Mark Jefferies, counselman, said he's been working with a coalition 1033 01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:52.559 of folks over the last eight months. He says he's 1034 01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:55.480 confident that a deal can be reached for funding, saying 1035 01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:59.719 we've had conversations with in Northern Kentucky and Metro I 1036 01:00:59.800 --> 01:01:02.000 think early part of the year we'll have all the commitments. 1037 01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:06.639 Read my new financial structure proposal includes money from Metro 1038 01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:12.320 Northern Kentucky, the City of Cincinnati meaning taxpayers, and maybe 1039 01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:14.800 corporate sponsors. And if corporate sponsors step up to the 1040 01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:16.760 plate want to do that, put their little logo on 1041 01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:19.480 the red bite. I am all about doing it that way. 1042 01:01:22.159 --> 01:01:25.920 Bike share requires subsidies for all users. Consultants analyze that 1043 01:01:26.079 --> 01:01:31.559 a fair box only covers thirty seven percent of overall 1044 01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:35.800 costs per ride, and the Go program requires further subsidies 1045 01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:47.400 to lower the cost. And again going back to the 1046 01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:51.639 high comedy props the just tracker again, just make it free, 1047 01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:56.239 with props to Cribbage Mic for making the same comment. 1048 01:01:56.360 --> 01:01:58.280 You know, like the street car. If you make it free, 1049 01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:00.840 then it doesn't cost anybody anything. Not how that works. 1050 01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:09.480 Since a fire department refuses to say what happened yet 1051 01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:11.639 in terms of how the Big Mac Bridge aka Dan 1052 01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:15.800 Daniel Carter Beard Bridge caught fire, they say sharing information 1053 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:18.920 to soon can compromise the integrity of the investigation by 1054 01:02:18.960 --> 01:02:22.800 jeopardizing witness safety, alerting political our potential suspects, and revealing 1055 01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:26.599 critical strategies. For this reason, until the fire investigative unit 1056 01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:30.199 has definitive reason to share. We will not be able 1057 01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:32.599 to share anything, so we're not going to get any updates. 1058 01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:36.519 Channel nine followed up with the Cincinnti Climate Environment Infrastructure Committee, 1059 01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:39.760 which held its meeting last night. Several council people were there, 1060 01:02:39.840 --> 01:02:44.239 Mika Owens, Mark Jeffries, Jeff Cameronon and others, and each 1061 01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:46.920 of them was asked do you know anything, and all 1062 01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:49.719 of them, looking back at the Cincinni Fire Department statement 1063 01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:51.960 said no, we don't know anything, but we'd like to 1064 01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:57.000 get some information.

Glad to see 1103 01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:52.360 today is no different than the norm. Uh fast forward 1104 01:04:52.400 --> 01:04:54.000 one hour from now, we get the Claimont County Veteran 1105 01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:57.159 Services back in study to talk about well veteran services 1106 01:04:57.239 --> 01:05:00.039 and some updates and things that are available from my 1107 01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:02.719 veteran friends in the audience. Alex Trout Tofilo. At eight 1108 01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:08.320 h five, we will talk inside Baseball on JD Vance's replacement. 1109 01:05:08.360 --> 01:05:11.679 Will Alex reveal anything about who the replacement might be? 1110 01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:13.800 Has someone been chosen yet that we don't know about it? 1111 01:05:13.800 --> 01:05:15.280 How about the State House? A think got to be 1112 01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:19.119 a constituent friendly question from us, Trecker. I'm gonna go 1113 01:05:19.239 --> 01:05:21.280 know on that one in advance and we'll see what 1114 01:05:21.360 --> 01:05:22.960 he has to say about that. And can we do 1115 01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:26.000 anything about Hamilton County? Is it a lost cause getting 1116 01:05:26.119 --> 01:05:29.159 Hamilton County to get more conservative? And I say the 1117 01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:32.079 answers no. Judge of Poltano also at eight thirty, I 1118 01:05:32.159 --> 01:05:35.920 say the answer is no, it can be done. You 1119 01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:40.039 can turn things around. And I think you saw that 1120 01:05:40.119 --> 01:05:42.880 with the presidential election. Who thought Donald Trump was gonna win. 1121 01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:48.159 None of the Democrats. I mean, we had eight constant years, 1122 01:05:48.239 --> 01:05:53.920 if not more, of just constant badgering, prosecutions, law fair, demonization. 1123 01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:56.920 The whole mainstream media is always one hundred percent against him. 1124 01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:01.159 He couldn't walk outside his front door about getting criticized 1125 01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:04.880 for how he ran outside his front door. Racist, misogynist, 1126 01:06:05.079 --> 01:06:09.880 Nazi came out, the Nazi thing, the threat to democracy, 1127 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:12.840 which of course they're well, they don't have that argument 1128 01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:18.159 anymore given Joe Biden's parting of Hunter Biden. But the 1129 01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:22.360 left wing policies in democrats cities that unfolded during the 1130 01:06:22.480 --> 01:06:28.079 period of time over Joe Biden's presidency, the defunding the police, 1131 01:06:28.360 --> 01:06:32.599 lack lives matter protests, just this absolute you know, the 1132 01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:37.000 decriminalization of things. And of course California has been living 1133 01:06:37.039 --> 01:06:38.519 with that for a little bit longer than just the 1134 01:06:38.559 --> 01:06:42.760 Biden administration. But the effects are literally being felt, and 1135 01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:47.400 none of the effects are positive ones. I mean, going 1136 01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:49.480 back to Todd Zenser's comments about the financial state of 1137 01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:51.440 the City of Cincinnati, how you can't get rid of 1138 01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:55.960 the pension obligation. I'm sorry. What you have done is 1139 01:06:56.079 --> 01:06:59.519 pet project yourself and failure failed to do your jobs. 1140 01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:02.199 Roads have fallen apart, Bridges are falling apart. The stuff 1141 01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:04.800 you're supposed to take care of, you well pushed to 1142 01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:08.559 the side in favor of this organization funding that organization. 1143 01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:10.880 You know the fill in the blank. You probably have 1144 01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:13.119 your own favorite list. Mine happens to be number one. 1145 01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:21.280 The streetcar, but we all know that. But another Democrat city, Chicago, 1146 01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:24.639 you may have heard of it. Mayor Brandon Johnson, Democrat 1147 01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:28.159 among a city overwhelmingly Democrat. I live there. I know 1148 01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:30.920 how bad it is to be a conservative individual in Chicago. 1149 01:07:34.360 --> 01:07:37.760 He's getting airfral from his own people, which makes sense. 1150 01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:47.800 Democrats fighting back against Democrat policies, most notably Chicago's New 1151 01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:54.239 Arrivals Mission, which of course relates to illegal immigrants, Sanctuary 1152 01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:59.719 City declaration, and everything that goes with it, food, clothing, houses, housing, shelter, education, etc. 1153 01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:03.320 So far has cost the city five hundred and seventy 1154 01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:07.079 four and a half million dollars since August of twenty two, 1155 01:08:08.480 --> 01:08:10.719 and the mayor is now trying to overcome a one 1156 01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:14.519 billion with a B budget shortfall by the end of 1157 01:08:14.599 --> 01:08:21.880 the year. The solution a sixty million dollar property tax increase, 1158 01:08:23.920 --> 01:08:26.960 and of course the residents there that probably voted for 1159 01:08:27.079 --> 01:08:29.439 mayor of Brandon Johnson are not real happy about it. 1160 01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:33.359 And I watched some video from this open hearing they 1161 01:08:33.399 --> 01:08:35.920 had the other day on this and they are mad 1162 01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:38.600 as hell. One woman, I got a great way we 1163 01:08:38.680 --> 01:08:41.359 can do with this budget. First, let's start with cutting 1164 01:08:41.439 --> 01:08:46.159 off illegals getting free everything, free housing, free schooling, free food. Yeah, 1165 01:08:46.239 --> 01:08:48.560 let's start with that. That'll save us a lot of money. 1166 01:08:49.239 --> 01:08:51.840 Let's start there. And let's start with you. Your salary. 1167 01:08:52.920 --> 01:08:55.000 You're going down in history, is the worst mayor in America. 1168 01:08:55.119 --> 01:08:57.359 Let's start with cutting yours. You make too much money. 1169 01:08:58.239 --> 01:09:02.319 It's a cheap shot. But Rah, one of the residents, 1170 01:09:02.359 --> 01:09:04.600 said that she is an immigrant who came to the 1171 01:09:04.680 --> 01:09:08.640 United States legally, and that she, in her words, very 1172 01:09:08.920 --> 01:09:12.479 very embarrassed for what my other fellow Latin American citizens 1173 01:09:12.479 --> 01:09:14.760 are doing in this city. On behalf of the people 1174 01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:18.359 that work, on behalf of the people that pay taxes, 1175 01:09:18.439 --> 01:09:22.800 on behalf of the people that can contribute to the city. Said, 1176 01:09:22.800 --> 01:09:25.000 I like to make clear that not everyone's the same. 1177 01:09:25.239 --> 01:09:28.119 These people came with a wide door open, and they 1178 01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:32.720 feel entitled to many things that nobody has. There are 1179 01:09:32.840 --> 01:09:36.039 US citizens suffering from poverty, there are US citizens on 1180 01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:38.880 public aid, and these people are here just enjoying the 1181 01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:46.960 benefits becoming delinquents and they have no consequences. One guy said, 1182 01:09:47.039 --> 01:09:50.319 after asking for mayor's undivided attention. So this just proves 1183 01:09:50.359 --> 01:09:52.119 to you the lack of leadership that you show in 1184 01:09:52.199 --> 01:09:55.520 this city. You can't even give me straight eye contact. 1185 01:09:55.560 --> 01:09:57.840 Now I'm going to let you know now, the people 1186 01:09:57.880 --> 01:10:03.520 of Chicago, we're done with you. The new Arrivals program, 1187 01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:06.239 he said in April, was to provide short term emergency 1188 01:10:06.319 --> 01:10:09.880 shelter to manage the humanitarian crisis, while making long term 1189 01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:14.720 investments in the city's capacity to handle future challenges related 1190 01:10:14.760 --> 01:10:20.000 to displacement and emerging migration patterns. In other words, this 1191 01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:22.720 ain't over. This flood of illegals is going to continue 1192 01:10:22.760 --> 01:10:25.279 to come into this country. Oh but maybe a presidential 1193 01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:28.359 watch had something to do with stopping the flow. Maybe, 1194 01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:31.640 just maybe, if Donald Trump can bring about a closed 1195 01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:34.600 border and can solve the problem of at least the 1196 01:10:34.680 --> 01:10:37.319 criminal immigrants. I do not believe as I sit here 1197 01:10:37.359 --> 01:10:39.239 today and I will not believe that there is going 1198 01:10:39.319 --> 01:10:42.920 to be such a thing as mass deportation. That's a label. 1199 01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:44.760 The Left is stuck on this because they're going to 1200 01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:48.359 talk just get the humanitarian crisis mass deportation. This is 1201 01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:52.000 like rounding up the Japanese and putting them in internment camps. 1202 01:10:52.039 --> 01:10:54.800 You can hear the rhetoric right now. But if you 1203 01:10:54.920 --> 01:10:59.119 start with the criminals, if you start with the known convicted, 1204 01:10:59.279 --> 01:11:02.119 bind through process, people who are out on the street 1205 01:11:02.199 --> 01:11:05.560 committing crimes, Immigrants who have come here and let allow 1206 01:11:05.640 --> 01:11:08.399 to be stayed, like in sanctuary cities where they have 1207 01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:12.479 committed crimes, that have been through the system, prosecuted or 1208 01:11:12.560 --> 01:11:15.000 maybe even released back out on bail or no bail. 1209 01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:18.760 You got them demonstrallly having committed a crime. Start there, 1210 01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:21.840 and it's to be one of those now who can 1211 01:11:22.000 --> 01:11:24.840 argue with that kind of things. Start from the premise 1212 01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:27.359 that they're here illegally, that you have the right to 1213 01:11:27.479 --> 01:11:30.760 deport them. Let us put them at the front of 1214 01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:34.039 the hearings because they've committed crimes, proving themselves to be 1215 01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:38.560 well a danger to the citizenry. This is something someone 1216 01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:42.319 in elected capacity has an obligation to do. Uphold the 1217 01:11:42.399 --> 01:11:44.640 laws of the United States of America protect us from 1218 01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:48.199 threats both foreign and domestic. That kind of stuff welcome 1219 01:11:48.319 --> 01:11:54.039 to well, threats domestic people who have no legal right 1220 01:11:54.279 --> 01:11:57.840 to be in our country, committing felonies and killing people 1221 01:11:58.000 --> 01:12:02.600 and raping children in traffic children if you know where 1222 01:12:02.680 --> 01:12:04.800 they are and you have them dead to right, or 1223 01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:07.359 they have been convicted of something like that is the 1224 01:12:07.479 --> 01:12:11.239 other side, the left or whoever supports this unmitigated, unflowed, 1225 01:12:11.720 --> 01:12:15.399 unregulated flow of humanity into our country. Are they going 1226 01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:20.239 to try to argue that they shouldn't be deported. There 1227 01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:23.600 aren't enough seats at the trough right now, and I 1228 01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:27.640 don't believe you can accomplish getting every single human being 1229 01:12:27.800 --> 01:12:31.239 who qualifies as an illegal entrant into our country out 1230 01:12:31.279 --> 01:12:34.159 of our country. It will be chaos. It would take decades. 1231 01:12:34.600 --> 01:12:37.199 So let's just start with the hardened criminals. Let's start 1232 01:12:37.239 --> 01:12:40.119 with the known gang members. Let's start with well, the 1233 01:12:40.319 --> 01:12:43.680 people on the terrorists watch list. Let's start with maybe 1234 01:12:43.800 --> 01:12:46.159 trying to use some of those efforts like the efforts 1235 01:12:46.239 --> 01:12:49.439 they engaged in for the January sixth rioters. They spend 1236 01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:52.279 tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money, if not 1237 01:12:52.439 --> 01:12:55.319 hundreds of millions, searching for that one old lady that 1238 01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:57.359 they saw on video that they haven't been able to 1239 01:12:57.439 --> 01:12:59.279 find yet. Well, i'll tell you what, you got two 1240 01:12:59.399 --> 01:13:02.640 million known god aways. You don't know who they are. 1241 01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:05.039 They could be members of terrorist organizations. Why don't you 1242 01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:06.600 start trying to look for them in the same way 1243 01:13:06.600 --> 01:13:08.359 you started looking for the old lady that was at 1244 01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:12.039 the Capitol building on the January sixth. Just suggesting it, 1245 01:13:14.640 --> 01:13:19.279 but you got really really pissed off residents in Chicago, 1246 01:13:19.439 --> 01:13:21.279 same thing in New York. If you've ever looked at 1247 01:13:21.319 --> 01:13:23.920 any of these meetings, they're not happy. And they're the 1248 01:13:23.960 --> 01:13:26.479 ones that elected these clowns into office. They're the ones 1249 01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:28.600 that decided they wanted to be a sanctuary city, and 1250 01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:34.359 now seeing the aftermath and experiencing the pain and anguish 1251 01:13:34.439 --> 01:13:39.039 and seeing their taxpayer dollars go someplace that they shouldn't 1252 01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.479 be going, seeing their schools being overwhelmed by people who 1253 01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:45.600 do not speak English and therefore soak up the resources 1254 01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:48.399 for children who are supposed to be. They're learning the 1255 01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:53.680 basics of well building blocks of an education, reading, writing, arithmetic, 1256 01:13:53.880 --> 01:13:55.560 that kind of thing, so they can move forward and 1257 01:13:55.600 --> 01:13:58.880 maybe be successful in life. Those resources being all soaked 1258 01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:01.199 up by a bunch of children that don't speak English. 1259 01:14:02.039 --> 01:14:05.319 I mean, the list is endless, the problems are endless, 1260 01:14:06.119 --> 01:14:11.000 and the expenses are outrageous. Again, Chicago alone five hundred 1261 01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:16.119 and seventy five million dollars since twenty two one city. 1262 01:14:17.359 --> 01:14:19.000 Check the numbers in New York if you want to 1263 01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:22.600 be truly appalled, six P fifty fifty five kc DE 1264 01:14:22.720 --> 01:14:24.880 talk station. And speaking of numbers, how about the number 1265 01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:27.920 on your energy bill? Yes, it keeps getting bigger, keeps 1266 01:14:27.960 --> 01:14:31.239 going up.

Jack Addaden returns 1302 01:16:27.920 --> 01:16:33.600 to the program to offer his commentary renaissance man, lawyer, anchorman, author, historian, raconteur. 1303 01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:36.560 Welcome back, Jack Adaden. It's great to have you on 1304 01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:38.039 the fifty five KRC Morning Show again. 1305 01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:38.399 My friend. 1306 01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:42.640 Happy holidays, Brian, Joe, all of our friends and neighbors. 1307 01:16:43.319 --> 01:16:46.920 We're now well into advent, the preparation for Christmas. You 1308 01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:48.680 already have your tree, of. 1309 01:16:48.760 --> 01:16:51.239 Course, although we're missing a string of lights. You know, 1310 01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:53.840 every year, Jack, and we went through this again, literally 1311 01:16:54.000 --> 01:16:56.920 every year we buy brand new lights to replace the 1312 01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:00.199 ones that, for whatever magical reason, decide to die over 1313 01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:02.880 the storage period of the summer. You put the damn 1314 01:17:02.960 --> 01:17:04.760 tree up and you find out, you know, half your 1315 01:17:04.840 --> 01:17:08.039 light strings don't work. So we have a half lit tree. 1316 01:17:08.199 --> 01:17:10.439 Got to go out today. Probably should have done it yesterday. 1317 01:17:10.520 --> 01:17:14.279 But yeah, the tree is up. It's just not finished yet. 1318 01:17:14.760 --> 01:17:17.119 Damn those lights really really anger me. They have like 1319 01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:20.600 an internal self destruct mechanism. It's just part of the 1320 01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:22.119 joy of the season. Oh that's joy. 1321 01:17:23.279 --> 01:17:27.399 This here, Honika, by the way, coincides with Christmas, and 1322 01:17:28.319 --> 01:17:30.920 all of that got me thinking about something I hope 1323 01:17:30.960 --> 01:17:36.319 people won't find blasphemous. Is Donald Trump try to assemble 1324 01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:38.079 a biblical cabinet? 1325 01:17:38.680 --> 01:17:38.800 Now? 1326 01:17:38.880 --> 01:17:43.960 Wait, I am in no way equitting Trump with God, 1327 01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:48.560 the Father or the Son. And since he escaped assassination twice, 1328 01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:53.119 he's not a ghost, but God's partners. We're not all 1329 01:17:53.359 --> 01:17:58.520 obvious choices, and neither are President Trump's. For instance, when 1330 01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:01.680 God picked Moses to leave the Jews at a bondage 1331 01:18:01.800 --> 01:18:06.439 in Egypt, Moses himself said, Lord, you got the wrong guy. 1332 01:18:07.119 --> 01:18:11.359 He pleaded, I am slow of speech and tongue, and 1333 01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:14.960 he had other issues. Moses was quick to lose his temper, 1334 01:18:15.520 --> 01:18:19.960 as when he caught the ungrateful Israelites worshiping a golden calf. 1335 01:18:20.319 --> 01:18:21.239 Where's you're Moses? 1336 01:18:21.359 --> 01:18:21.520 Now? 1337 01:18:22.079 --> 01:18:25.319 Yeah, that's when Moses smashed the tablets that God gave 1338 01:18:25.439 --> 01:18:29.399 him that contained the Ten Commandments your tone. For all 1339 01:18:29.439 --> 01:18:32.680 of that, the Israelites had to wander around the desert 1340 01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:36.800 for forty years. So even if he looked like Charlton Heston, 1341 01:18:37.279 --> 01:18:40.880 Moses was not which you would call central casting to 1342 01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:45.600 be a leader. Neither were the New Testament Disciples Brian Brian. 1343 01:18:46.319 --> 01:18:51.079 Jesus did not choose any temple scholars, no generals. Yes, 1344 01:18:51.199 --> 01:18:55.279 Herod had generals, Jesus gave them a pass. He instead 1345 01:18:55.800 --> 01:19:01.079 chose nobody who would be considered experience much less distinguished. 1346 01:19:01.720 --> 01:19:05.119 Jesus set out to save the world with a few fishermen, 1347 01:19:05.720 --> 01:19:09.640 alongside a tax collector, a thief, and a zealot, what 1348 01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:13.000 today we'd call a fanatic. Jesus was not looking for 1349 01:19:13.159 --> 01:19:18.359 men and women who could work smoothly with the Jerusalem establishment, 1350 01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:23.239 because he wanted to establish an entirely new way of 1351 01:19:23.399 --> 01:19:28.720 thinking and acting. The religious member of my family, Aimesley, 1352 01:19:29.359 --> 01:19:32.159 always gave the fish eye to the disciples, and yes 1353 01:19:32.279 --> 01:19:35.880 that as a religious pun. Fish was the first Christian symbol. 1354 01:19:36.479 --> 01:19:39.640 Because when the going got rough and Jesus was arrested, 1355 01:19:40.159 --> 01:19:44.079 the disciples headed for the hills. Peter, the future rock 1356 01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:48.000 of the church, even denied Jesus three times, the really 1357 01:19:48.119 --> 01:19:51.239 brave ones were women, as my wife never tires of 1358 01:19:51.319 --> 01:19:56.359 reminding me. Yet, once the disciples grew backbones, they were 1359 01:19:56.439 --> 01:20:01.119 willing to be martyred, and they weren't seeking riches or advancement. 1360 01:20:01.199 --> 01:20:05.239 They weren't looking for some revolving door. They believed fervently 1361 01:20:05.840 --> 01:20:10.199 in their cause. Contrary to what the establishment media says, 1362 01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:14.920 Donald Trump is not looking for knee jerk disciples. At 1363 01:20:14.960 --> 01:20:19.279 one point, his vice president JD. Vance of Middletown denied 1364 01:20:19.359 --> 01:20:26.239 Trump pretty vividly. Another heretic, Elon Musk Trump, but didn't 1365 01:20:26.279 --> 01:20:28.760 hesitate to reach out to him. He is not only 1366 01:20:28.840 --> 01:20:32.680 a visionary but also a patriot. More than anybody. His 1367 01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:37.920 ex platform is preserving the foundation of our freedom, free speech, 1368 01:20:38.399 --> 01:20:43.039 and now Elon and Cincinnati's own Vivek Ramaswami will help 1369 01:20:43.399 --> 01:20:48.479 shrink government to assize that's fit for free citizens, not dictatorship. 1370 01:20:49.239 --> 01:20:53.159 Trump's cabinet is not devoid of experience. Soon to be 1371 01:20:53.319 --> 01:20:57.039 treachery Secretary Scott Bessant is one of the most respected 1372 01:20:57.159 --> 01:21:01.079 masterminds on Wall Street. By the way, Besson happens to 1373 01:21:01.159 --> 01:21:06.159 be gay, but unlike Biden's Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha Judge 1374 01:21:06.479 --> 01:21:10.520 Bessen was not picked because he's gay. Besson to unlike 1375 01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:14.760 paternity leave, Pete is actually qualified to do his job 1376 01:21:15.479 --> 01:21:17.439 or take incoming borders. 1377 01:21:17.479 --> 01:21:18.600 Are Tom Homan. 1378 01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:21.960 He's going to build on his previous work with Ice 1379 01:21:22.399 --> 01:21:27.079 to secure our borders and to port vicious criminals, drug dealers, 1380 01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:31.560 and human traffickers who were waved in by Biden and Harris. 1381 01:21:32.039 --> 01:21:36.479 Those illegals have been beefing up blue congressional districts from 1382 01:21:36.600 --> 01:21:41.439 California to New York, from which Democrats have fled. Yes, folks, 1383 01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:46.159 the census counts illegals, including illegals who should have been 1384 01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:50.920 deported years ago. One point four million of these serious 1385 01:21:51.039 --> 01:21:54.640 criminals have already had hearings and are now sitting in 1386 01:21:54.760 --> 01:21:58.960 detention facilities, eating three squares a day, waiting to. 1387 01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:00.439 Be to it. 1388 01:22:01.079 --> 01:22:04.680 Yet Biden and Harris have let them stay at taxpayer expense. 1389 01:22:05.399 --> 01:22:09.920 Now we have to admit some other Trump nominees appear 1390 01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:13.720 to be more problematic. The biggest surprise was Trump's original 1391 01:22:13.840 --> 01:22:18.560 choice for Attorney General, Florida Congressman Matt Gays. But look, 1392 01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:22.960 even Jesus made one bad pick. Although many believed Judas 1393 01:22:23.079 --> 01:22:26.520 was meant to fulfill biblical prophecy, and maybe Trump had 1394 01:22:26.560 --> 01:22:30.079 a plan too. Matt Gates denies accusations that he had 1395 01:22:30.119 --> 01:22:33.359 sex with the teenager Trump, who has been the target 1396 01:22:33.439 --> 01:22:38.800 of damnable lies starting with Hillary's fake Russia dossier. Trump 1397 01:22:38.960 --> 01:22:43.239 believed Matt Gates because even Biden's Justice Department refused to 1398 01:22:43.319 --> 01:22:46.039 prosecute him. And now we'll have to see how things 1399 01:22:46.119 --> 01:22:49.319 shake out with Pete Hegseth. But in any event, Brian 1400 01:22:49.840 --> 01:22:52.760 Trump now has the nominee he probably should have picked 1401 01:22:52.800 --> 01:22:53.520 in the first place. 1402 01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:54.479 For Justice. 1403 01:22:55.000 --> 01:23:00.079 Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi scans of experience, and 1404 01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:03.039 anybody who's heard Pam on Fox for years knows she 1405 01:23:03.199 --> 01:23:08.000 will fight like a zealot against political lawfare at Justice, 1406 01:23:08.319 --> 01:23:13.119 including the FBI, which Cash Bettel will cleanse the way 1407 01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:17.279 Moses melted down the Golden Calf and Jesus turned out 1408 01:23:17.319 --> 01:23:22.479 the Temple money changers. In short, Donald Trump knows that 1409 01:23:22.600 --> 01:23:28.520 the whole Washington establishment, the corrupt globalist in too many cases, 1410 01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:34.399 bipartisan Washington establishment needs to come to Jesus moment. The 1411 01:23:34.479 --> 01:23:38.720 elites don't care about ordinary American people, which is why 1412 01:23:38.920 --> 01:23:43.720 ordinary people like us, the extraordinary people, maybe not like us, 1413 01:23:44.079 --> 01:23:48.159 who work hard, raise families, and celebrate this holiday season 1414 01:23:48.439 --> 01:23:51.840 for all the right reasons. Trump knows we the people 1415 01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:55.199 need a different kind of elite. And in the season 1416 01:23:55.279 --> 01:24:00.319 of hope, I pray this new religious cabinet consume, get 1417 01:24:00.359 --> 01:24:01.079 down to work. 1418 01:24:01.279 --> 01:24:02.840 I wondered how you were going to work all that 1419 01:24:03.039 --> 01:24:06.560 in I saw the headliner the caption Trump's Biblical Cabinet. 1420 01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:08.520 I was kind of joking around all morning. I have 1421 01:24:08.720 --> 01:24:11.399 no idea which way Jack's going to go with this one. 1422 01:24:11.720 --> 01:24:14.640 I didn't know either. I like it, just I hope 1423 01:24:14.680 --> 01:24:15.119 for the best. 1424 01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:16.079 I like it. 1425 01:24:16.560 --> 01:24:19.199 You always do a great job bring things full circle. 1426 01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:21.520 That's why you're so brilliant man. Now, let me you know. 1427 01:24:21.680 --> 01:24:23.760 There was one other thing I wanted to mention. Unless 1428 01:24:23.840 --> 01:24:26.159 you want to touch on this, and I know you've 1429 01:24:26.159 --> 01:24:29.560 been hitting hard as well as you should. This Hunter 1430 01:24:29.720 --> 01:24:35.840 Biden clemency from a devoted father. That's a croc. I 1431 01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:38.520 haven't seen enough comment about this, so maybe I'm wrong. 1432 01:24:39.039 --> 01:24:42.640 I think that's sitting around the Thanksgiving table with a 1433 01:24:42.720 --> 01:24:46.640 Hunter Biden sentencing now, I think eleven days away, everybody 1434 01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:50.319 is worried that Hunter is going to rat on the 1435 01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:53.720 big guy and the whole Biden family in order to 1436 01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:56.079 make some money selling the book and going on TV. 1437 01:24:57.119 --> 01:25:00.560 There is still a chance after Biden leaves office, Hunter 1438 01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:03.319 will do that because he'll always be hard up, and 1439 01:25:03.439 --> 01:25:06.439 I think he's passed the golden period of his artwork. 1440 01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:11.479 But yeah, there was absolutely nothing benevolent about this. The 1441 01:25:11.560 --> 01:25:15.760 way that Biden has treated his children driven them in 1442 01:25:16.279 --> 01:25:20.199 large measure to drug dependency and a lot of other 1443 01:25:20.279 --> 01:25:24.239 poor behavior. Look at the Trump kids, every single one 1444 01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:27.319 of them. They've all turned out to be sterling citizens. 1445 01:25:27.920 --> 01:25:30.560 Joe Biden had to give this pardon to save himself. 1446 01:25:31.479 --> 01:25:34.000 Yeah, I suppose that there is something in that. And 1447 01:25:34.159 --> 01:25:36.159 of course, you, being a lawyer, you understand this as 1448 01:25:36.199 --> 01:25:39.720 well that since Hunter Biden has been forgiven and given 1449 01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:42.640 a free pass for literally any federal crime he had 1450 01:25:42.680 --> 01:25:46.199 committed over the past decade plus, he no longer can 1451 01:25:46.279 --> 01:25:49.000 claim the right, or the Fifth Amendment right to be 1452 01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:52.399 free of self incrimination, because on any issue that crops 1453 01:25:52.479 --> 01:25:55.039 up criminally that he has facts involving, he could be 1454 01:25:55.119 --> 01:25:57.479 called as a material witness and be forced to testify, 1455 01:25:57.880 --> 01:26:00.960 even if it would have been against his criminal interest. 1456 01:26:02.359 --> 01:26:05.479 Without the pardon, So that's gone and he then becomes 1457 01:26:05.960 --> 01:26:08.560 a rather interesting target for depositions. 1458 01:26:09.359 --> 01:26:12.199 So if he rants, if he rats Brian, I think 1459 01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:14.000 he's going to want to be paid for it. But yes, 1460 01:26:14.319 --> 01:26:15.399 your point is well taken. 1461 01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:17.760 Well, you're going to love this quote. I read this. 1462 01:26:18.439 --> 01:26:24.760 A federal judge was the dismissal of the tax case issue, 1463 01:26:24.800 --> 01:26:27.039 and he first saw found that it was lacked the 1464 01:26:27.079 --> 01:26:30.079 appropriate form, So there's a technical issue before he dismisses 1465 01:26:30.119 --> 01:26:32.159 the case. But he had a few things to say 1466 01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:35.600 about it, and he initially pointed out, you know, constitution 1467 01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:37.960 does give him broad authority to grant reprieve, but it 1468 01:26:38.039 --> 01:26:40.840 does not give him the authority to rewrite history. And 1469 01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:44.640 so he gave him a tongue lashing about that no 1470 01:26:44.800 --> 01:26:47.000 reasonable person look at the facts and they could reach 1471 01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:49.640 any of the consideration that Biden was singled out orly 1472 01:26:49.680 --> 01:26:52.359 because he's the president's son. And then the judge says, hey, 1473 01:26:52.439 --> 01:26:57.079 but two federal judges expressly rejected Biden's agreements. Hunters arguments 1474 01:26:57.119 --> 01:26:59.520 that the government persecuted and prosecuted him because of his 1475 01:26:59.640 --> 01:27:03.279 famil relations with the president, and the president's own attorney 1476 01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:08.199 general and Apartment of Justice personnel oversaw the investigation which 1477 01:27:08.319 --> 01:27:11.880 led to the charges and the President's at estimation this 1478 01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:17.319 legion of federal civil surgeons, the unservants, the undersigned, included 1479 01:27:17.399 --> 01:27:22.439 the judge, are unreasonable people. So yeah, that whole contingency 1480 01:27:22.520 --> 01:27:24.960 in cadre of folks that worked under the Biden administrations, 1481 01:27:24.960 --> 01:27:27.760 all the one that brought these charges against them. But 1482 01:27:28.119 --> 01:27:29.399 this is the part you're going to get a kick 1483 01:27:29.479 --> 01:27:32.199 out of. To your point that he may want to 1484 01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:35.880 sell his information or for his own personal benefit or otherwise, 1485 01:27:36.600 --> 01:27:39.680 you know, rat them all out, he said. Subject to 1486 01:27:39.760 --> 01:27:42.880 the following this discussion, the Court assumes the pardon is 1487 01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:45.840 effective and we'll dispose of the case. The Supreme Court 1488 01:27:45.960 --> 01:27:50.159 long is recognized that notwithstanding its nearly unlimited nature, here 1489 01:27:50.199 --> 01:27:53.560 you get to the punchline. The pardon power extends only 1490 01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:57.359 to past offenses. I think that was kind of a 1491 01:27:57.439 --> 01:28:00.319 shot over the bowel that he expects Hunter Biden to 1492 01:28:00.439 --> 01:28:04.239 go back and start engaging in criminal conduct after at 1493 01:28:04.319 --> 01:28:07.159 some future date. So pardon only applies to things in 1494 01:28:07.239 --> 01:28:11.399 the past. And real quick before you go, you mentioned 1495 01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:14.359 hope at the end of your monologue. 1496 01:28:14.399 --> 01:28:14.560 There. 1497 01:28:15.399 --> 01:28:18.479 I'm optimistic and maybe overly so, and I keep looking 1498 01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:21.119 for someone perhaps with a greater sense of logic and 1499 01:28:21.239 --> 01:28:24.079 reason to burst my bubble or at least support my 1500 01:28:24.239 --> 01:28:29.159 hope for this musk rama swimy doge Department. They're not 1501 01:28:29.319 --> 01:28:32.239 paid officials. They exist outside of the government. They're going 1502 01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:34.760 to basically sit in a room, unpaid, go through the 1503 01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:38.079 books and try to cut everything. Now, I'm optimistic. I 1504 01:28:38.119 --> 01:28:40.920 don't know that what they are going to present and 1505 01:28:41.119 --> 01:28:45.319 hand over to Congress by way of recommendations for consolidations 1506 01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:47.600 or cuds or whatever, I don't know if that's going 1507 01:28:47.680 --> 01:28:50.239 to be embraced by everybody. But what this is going 1508 01:28:50.359 --> 01:28:53.439 to do and why I'm finding my hope, is that 1509 01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:56.640 it's going to educate the American people on both sides 1510 01:28:56.640 --> 01:28:59.239 of the political ledger about who the people are that 1511 01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:04.279 want to protect these ridiculous vested interests in taxpayer dollars 1512 01:29:04.600 --> 01:29:08.119 and political boondoggles. It's already started with regard to the 1513 01:29:08.560 --> 01:29:12.399 Inflation Reduction Act, that nonsensical Green New Deal, and you've 1514 01:29:12.399 --> 01:29:16.039 already got Republican governors and Republican representatives from states who 1515 01:29:16.079 --> 01:29:20.039 get a lot of ethanol money and carbon capture money. 1516 01:29:20.079 --> 01:29:23.039 They're saying no, no, no, no, we're we're we're gonna 1517 01:29:23.079 --> 01:29:24.439 make a lot of tax payer money on that. We 1518 01:29:24.520 --> 01:29:27.960 really need those programs. See it started already. 1519 01:29:28.760 --> 01:29:31.439 Well, that's always the greatest problem. We have it right here, 1520 01:29:31.600 --> 01:29:35.600 Mike Turner up the street. As far as Vivek and 1521 01:29:35.800 --> 01:29:38.600 Elon go, it's no slight to them to say that 1522 01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:42.479 what they really are as advisors. There's there's a long 1523 01:29:42.520 --> 01:29:46.840 tradition of that. FDR had a man named named Bernard Baruch, 1524 01:29:47.720 --> 01:29:52.880 Woodrow Wilson had General House. Every president has advisors, and 1525 01:29:53.439 --> 01:29:57.880 that doesn't mean that they're not immensely powerful. And depending 1526 01:29:57.920 --> 01:30:01.039 on the quality of the recommendations that those who come 1527 01:30:01.119 --> 01:30:03.359 up with, and I think they're going to be sterling too, 1528 01:30:04.199 --> 01:30:05.840 there's going to be a big change in the direction 1529 01:30:05.960 --> 01:30:07.119 of this government. 1530 01:30:07.119 --> 01:30:09.720 I hope so. And at minimum we're going to learn 1531 01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:12.239 who the bad actors are on both sides of the equation. 1532 01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:15.760 Because if it's something that is there's so much fraud, waste, 1533 01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:18.199 and abuse, I think every effort along those lines to 1534 01:30:18.279 --> 01:30:20.760 ferret it out is a great idea. And you'll see 1535 01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:24.840 as of today quite a few Democrats are actually saying, yeah, 1536 01:30:24.960 --> 01:30:26.800 this is a good idea. Now they want to, you know, 1537 01:30:27.439 --> 01:30:30.239 support this doge concept because they want to protect their 1538 01:30:30.279 --> 01:30:32.399 turf in a lot of ways, and by supporting it, 1539 01:30:32.479 --> 01:30:35.600 maybe they'll be able to control what is and isn't cut. 1540 01:30:35.760 --> 01:30:38.079 But that's where the sausage is made, and that's what 1541 01:30:38.119 --> 01:30:41.239 I'm looking forward to, finding out who the people are. Jackie. 1542 01:30:41.800 --> 01:30:43.600 Let me alert people to one thing. Yeah, that you're 1543 01:30:43.640 --> 01:30:46.520 going to be hearing that the DOGE recommendations will be 1544 01:30:47.039 --> 01:30:49.960 expensive because we're going to have to give severance pay 1545 01:30:50.039 --> 01:30:53.439 of people and retraining. Now there's already a commitment to that, 1546 01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:57.199 but those are one time payments. Yes, what we are 1547 01:30:57.319 --> 01:31:00.520 living with goes on to eternity. To get back to 1548 01:31:00.600 --> 01:31:01.520 the biblical side. 1549 01:31:01.800 --> 01:31:06.119 It sure does get a little theology lesson couple with politics, 1550 01:31:06.159 --> 01:31:08.239 so Jack added, and you'll find a podcast at five 1551 01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:10.880 cars dot com.

In any event, we get 1589 01:33:00.199 --> 01:33:02.359 to the talk about County Veteran Services Steve Belzo in 1590 01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:05.199 studio to talk about some things they got going on 1591 01:33:05.279 --> 01:33:09.680 for my veteran friends, local stories, and this is you know, 1592 01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:13.520 actually it's a wonderful thing. It's sad on so many levels, 1593 01:33:13.640 --> 01:33:19.520 but fortunately we have what are called now safe Haven 1594 01:33:19.760 --> 01:33:24.159 baby box and the one in Lebanon was just used 1595 01:33:24.199 --> 01:33:27.319 to safely surrender a baby girl. Webanon Police said. This 1596 01:33:27.479 --> 01:33:29.119 is a year and a half after it was installed. 1597 01:33:29.199 --> 01:33:32.680 Boxes located at the fire station on North Broadway installed 1598 01:33:32.680 --> 01:33:36.479 of October last year, the tenth safe Haven baby box 1599 01:33:36.560 --> 01:33:39.720 in the state. Lebanon Police say Monday the City of 1600 01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:42.640 Lebanon Communications Center received an alarm from the box about 1601 01:33:43.159 --> 01:33:45.399 three thirty in the afternoon. Police and fires showed up, 1602 01:33:45.479 --> 01:33:48.800 finding a baby girl had been surrendered. Theyby immediately taken 1603 01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:51.399 to since sint Children's Hospital and Warren County Children's Services 1604 01:33:51.439 --> 01:33:55.880 officials were notified. These boxes are being installed in fire 1605 01:33:55.920 --> 01:34:00.439 departments across the country, thus allowing parents the option to 1606 01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:05.399 safely and securely as well as anonymously surrender in newborn 1607 01:34:05.439 --> 01:34:07.560 if they are unable to provide care for it. Under 1608 01:34:07.560 --> 01:34:12.760 Ohio's safe Haven Law, baby Box allows parents to again 1609 01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:16.199 anonymously surrender newborn without any criminal charges related to it. 1610 01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:20.119 Once the baby's inside the box, it locks itself and 1611 01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:24.119 then sends a series of alerts to first responders. And 1612 01:34:24.239 --> 01:34:29.159 since safe Haven's launch in twenty sixteen, thirty five babies 1613 01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:33.079 have been surrendered nationwide. That's according to their website. So 1614 01:34:34.399 --> 01:34:39.279 one wife saved and going back and please, please, please, 1615 01:34:39.399 --> 01:34:42.000 if you care about finances and you want to know 1616 01:34:42.079 --> 01:34:45.119 what politicians are capable of doing by way of destruction 1617 01:34:45.279 --> 01:34:49.359 in terms of budgetary realities. Todd Zinzer on the program 1618 01:34:49.479 --> 01:34:51.760 yesterday talking without the City of Cincinnati and the Pension 1619 01:34:51.880 --> 01:34:56.439 problems that they face which are seemingly insurmountable. And one 1620 01:34:56.479 --> 01:34:58.600 of the things that he was joking about, sort of 1621 01:34:58.680 --> 01:35:04.159 half joking, is just the reality. And Westside Jim Keefer 1622 01:35:04.239 --> 01:35:09.199 told me it was council member Kearney whose idea was 1623 01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:12.800 for the city to pay for stained glass windows. I 1624 01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:16.359 believe it was in Avondale. And this is after Todd 1625 01:35:16.359 --> 01:35:18.680 and I'd been talking about the six hundred and nearly 1626 01:35:18.800 --> 01:35:21.560 seven hundred billion dollars a million dollar hole in the 1627 01:35:21.640 --> 01:35:24.920 pensions program which has been just ignored largely for the 1628 01:35:25.000 --> 01:35:28.359 past several decades. With that, I pivot over to the 1629 01:35:28.600 --> 01:35:32.840 Red Bike program. Nonprofit Red Bike. They just announced they 1630 01:35:32.880 --> 01:35:34.800 have enough funds for you to ride a red bike 1631 01:35:34.880 --> 01:35:37.439 all winter long up until April of next year, but 1632 01:35:37.520 --> 01:35:40.039 then they don't they have any money after that. They're 1633 01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:42.960 looking for what they describe as long term funding commitment 1634 01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:46.039 so they can continue operation past April when the weather 1635 01:35:46.119 --> 01:35:49.760 gets warm enough to ride a bike. Council Member Mark 1636 01:35:49.800 --> 01:35:52.159 Jefferies said he's been working with a coalition it would 1637 01:35:52.199 --> 01:35:54.840 be partners over several months and said he's confident a 1638 01:35:54.880 --> 01:35:56.880 deal is going to be reached with funding before April, 1639 01:35:58.199 --> 01:36:03.159 including funding from vriety different sources going back to budgetary 1640 01:36:03.239 --> 01:36:06.520 problems facing the city. They say money from Metro Northern Kentucky, 1641 01:36:06.640 --> 01:36:10.159 the City of Cincinnati, and maybe some corporate sponsors or 1642 01:36:10.239 --> 01:36:13.279 tourist partnerships. The latter two I embrace all day long. 1643 01:36:13.439 --> 01:36:15.800 You can get a corporate sponsor, make it work fine, 1644 01:36:15.840 --> 01:36:18.680 that's less taxpayer dollars to go for that program. Bike 1645 01:36:18.760 --> 01:36:25.640 Share requires subsidies for all users. Props to WCPO Danielle 1646 01:36:25.680 --> 01:36:30.960 Goodman and Andrew Rowan for the reporting on this. Consultants 1647 01:36:31.039 --> 01:36:35.720 analyze that the fair box only covers thirty seven percent 1648 01:36:35.880 --> 01:36:41.680 of the overall cost of the bike per ride. The 1649 01:36:42.199 --> 01:36:48.359 Go program requires further subsidy for lower cost so the 1650 01:36:48.439 --> 01:36:51.720 new plan spreads the investment across multiple stakeholders. It's a 1651 01:36:51.880 --> 01:36:54.399 comment from a counsulman, Jefferies and said it's a very 1652 01:36:54.479 --> 01:36:59.199 sensible plan. Bike Share Program board voted to shut red 1653 01:36:59.239 --> 01:37:02.039 Bike down per in March because of funding issues that 1654 01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:05.880 arose after it's lost a major sponsor. Executive director Doug 1655 01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:10.359 mcclinty previously told WCPO that would have taken well over 1656 01:37:10.399 --> 01:37:12.399 a quarter of a million dollars to really make sure 1657 01:37:12.439 --> 01:37:16.319 that we're not having to close things down, but multiple 1658 01:37:16.399 --> 01:37:19.560 organizations across creators SINCINNY have pledged to fund the Red 1659 01:37:19.600 --> 01:37:22.199 Bike program. They have four hundred and fifty thousand dollars 1660 01:37:22.279 --> 01:37:28.600 totally pledged. I guess ridership down this year versus last, 1661 01:37:29.600 --> 01:37:32.720 but its Go pass program has seen a steady increase 1662 01:37:32.760 --> 01:37:35.000 in popularity, at least according to Red Bike. It's a 1663 01:37:35.079 --> 01:37:39.600 five dollar monthly membership for low income customers compared to 1664 01:37:39.720 --> 01:37:42.560 full fare thirty dollars monthly memberships. And again that go 1665 01:37:42.760 --> 01:37:47.800 program requires further subsidies to keep the cost down. So 1666 01:37:48.279 --> 01:37:50.319 we'll see if they can't find the money for that program. 1667 01:37:50.920 --> 01:37:53.119 So at thirty six, if you have Kesee talk station, 1668 01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:56.640 we're gonna learn some things from Carmack County Veteran Services. 1669 01:37:56.640 --> 01:37:58.880 Steve Belzo in studio to talk about that.

They're going to give you a fair price 1681 01:38:24.520 --> 01:38:26.920 and quote to have the work done.

I feel 1744 01:41:26.800 --> 01:41:29.399 like we've been living with so much anger division. The 1745 01:41:29.479 --> 01:41:32.359 politics has gotten so out of hand, absolutely the elections 1746 01:41:32.399 --> 01:41:35.640 behind us.

But uh, 1751 01:41:49.039 --> 01:41:54.359 zero discussion of politics, great, nothing, zero, zilch, nada. No 1752 01:41:54.439 --> 01:41:57.279 one brought up anybody's name, No one said yay. No 1753 01:41:57.359 --> 01:41:59.800 one said, oh my god, this sucks. It was just 1754 01:42:00.319 --> 01:42:03.399 talking about family and how great the food was. No 1755 01:42:03.520 --> 01:42:07.520 more dissension, it was so wonderful. And then you know 1756 01:42:07.560 --> 01:42:09.520 the other component of it was, you know, I was 1757 01:42:09.600 --> 01:42:11.760 waiting for all hell to break loose to day after 1758 01:42:11.800 --> 01:42:14.880 the election, regardless who won, the riots in the streets 1759 01:42:14.960 --> 01:42:18.800 and again, oh my god. Anyway, Steve Beck over to 1760 01:42:18.800 --> 01:42:23.079 the Climate K Veteran Services ROI return on investment. That's 1761 01:42:23.359 --> 01:42:26.319 I said, I didn't get any notes today and you 1762 01:42:26.359 --> 01:42:28.600 said return on investment? Like, no, the hell? 1763 01:42:29.000 --> 01:42:31.159 Yeah, how do we spend this for veterans? Let's let's 1764 01:42:31.199 --> 01:42:35.079 talk about I'm from the senior enlisted, from the sergeant major. 1765 01:42:35.479 --> 01:42:41.720 There is constant investment in the troops. You're constantly teaching 1766 01:42:42.319 --> 01:42:45.520 to benefit them both in war time and in peace. 1767 01:42:45.920 --> 01:42:47.800 How do you improve your life? How are we going 1768 01:42:47.880 --> 01:42:51.680 to combat the enemy. It's always this direction and redirection 1769 01:42:51.960 --> 01:42:55.520 so that we are the most competent lethal force that 1770 01:42:55.640 --> 01:42:58.800 we can be. Now, bring that back out in civilian world. 1771 01:42:59.119 --> 01:43:02.479 I've got to start out though, Brian. The seventh of 1772 01:43:02.520 --> 01:43:03.800 December is coming up. 1773 01:43:04.000 --> 01:43:07.560 Yeah, everyone knows what I hope is right. 1774 01:43:08.119 --> 01:43:10.760 God's say December seven's coming up. We all know the 1775 01:43:10.800 --> 01:43:14.560 attack on Pearl Harbor World War two, the door that 1776 01:43:14.920 --> 01:43:20.319 the enemy kicked open that engaged our involvement. Now I 1777 01:43:20.439 --> 01:43:23.880 bring that up because one World War two veterans. They 1778 01:43:23.920 --> 01:43:27.720 are passing away and going to Devin's hats quicker than 1779 01:43:27.760 --> 01:43:30.239 we can count. But yet they're still out there. 1780 01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:31.039 So thank you. 1781 01:43:31.319 --> 01:43:31.640 Amen. 1782 01:43:32.079 --> 01:43:35.920 You've set a precedent of who America is on the 1783 01:43:36.039 --> 01:43:42.800 global scale. So great job. There is also a degree 1784 01:43:42.840 --> 01:43:49.399 of leadership, or lack thereof behind December seventh. There's conversation 1785 01:43:49.600 --> 01:43:54.520 that we actually knew the Japanese Imperial Army was looking 1786 01:43:54.600 --> 01:43:58.279 at data at the United States and the time to 1787 01:43:58.439 --> 01:44:03.199 hit them days in advance of December seventh. Yes, I've 1788 01:44:03.239 --> 01:44:08.520 heard that President Roosevelt put a little bit of leadership 1789 01:44:08.680 --> 01:44:13.800 effort and forethought into where do you think if they 1790 01:44:13.880 --> 01:44:16.680 are wheld, they come from Japan? 1791 01:44:17.720 --> 01:44:22.520 Right, right, specific exactly between California and Japan. 1792 01:44:22.680 --> 01:44:24.359 Oh my gosh, we have this small bump out in 1793 01:44:24.359 --> 01:44:27.920 the middle of the ocean, right so to fly sorties. 1794 01:44:28.039 --> 01:44:30.359 This was an aircraft flying a mission. We call them sorties. Yeah, 1795 01:44:30.720 --> 01:44:31.840 two to four hours out. 1796 01:44:33.279 --> 01:44:33.720 Every day. 1797 01:44:34.479 --> 01:44:36.399 Do you think we would have seen the Imperial Army 1798 01:44:36.439 --> 01:44:43.159 steaming towards Hawaii life effected a strike on them in surprise, 1799 01:44:43.319 --> 01:44:48.439 rather than on us. The lack of leadership and decision 1800 01:44:48.560 --> 01:44:50.920 making is what affected Pearl Harbor. 1801 01:44:51.119 --> 01:44:52.159 Yeah, now. 1802 01:44:54.399 --> 01:44:57.279 It's behind us. So what's in front of us now? 1803 01:44:57.960 --> 01:45:00.680 Veterans are on active duty, veterans come on effective duty. 1804 01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:03.479 And what I want to talk about is that the 1805 01:45:03.640 --> 01:45:07.600 lack of a leadership by our government for our veterans. 1806 01:45:08.479 --> 01:45:14.039 We often look at the military individual just twenty years. Wow, 1807 01:45:14.159 --> 01:45:17.159 that's great. Twenty years. You're thirty eight years old. You've 1808 01:45:17.199 --> 01:45:20.960 got a lifetime retirement already, better than one four oh 1809 01:45:21.000 --> 01:45:23.920 one k fifty percent of your base pay for the 1810 01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:27.399 rest of your life at twenty years. Back in the 1811 01:45:27.479 --> 01:45:30.439 late eighties early nineties, the government came out with what 1812 01:45:30.680 --> 01:45:35.680 was called the Reducts Plan. Now, the Reducts Plan is 1813 01:45:35.760 --> 01:45:41.159 what fifteen years, a career service member could receive a 1814 01:45:41.279 --> 01:45:47.680 thirty thousand dollars bonus. The trade off fifteen years, I'm 1815 01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:49.920 going to send a thirty thousand dollars bonus to your 1816 01:45:49.920 --> 01:45:54.960 bank account. I'm attacks at first, So at twenty percent, right, 1817 01:45:55.520 --> 01:46:00.279 you're maybe receiving twenty four thousand now, right, Now for 1818 01:46:00.359 --> 01:46:03.960 that is that when you hit twenty years and you retire, 1819 01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:07.039 and let's say A seven for one of the branches 1820 01:46:07.239 --> 01:46:10.199 retires at twenty years, fifty percent of his base pay. 1821 01:46:11.119 --> 01:46:14.640 That base pay now, because you accepted that thirty thousand 1822 01:46:14.680 --> 01:46:19.119 dollars bonus at fifteen years is reduced to forty percent. 1823 01:46:19.520 --> 01:46:22.600 Oh wow, I'm giving up ten percent of my retirement 1824 01:46:23.159 --> 01:46:27.560 every year for the rest of my life. Now, consider 1825 01:46:28.800 --> 01:46:32.479 it's about two hundred and fifty dollars a year that 1826 01:46:32.640 --> 01:46:36.359 you're giving up. And in ten years the government would 1827 01:46:36.479 --> 01:46:40.800 have reclaimed it's thirty thousand dollars or it's twenty four 1828 01:46:40.840 --> 01:46:43.159 thousand dollars at lent tea. Yeah, right, what eight years 1829 01:46:43.279 --> 01:46:45.800 is twenty four? Yeah, I'm sure they'd give ten years. Right, 1830 01:46:46.239 --> 01:46:49.159 she retired twenty years. I've paid them back two hundred 1831 01:46:49.199 --> 01:46:52.359 percent of the thirty thousand they gave me. 1832 01:46:52.760 --> 01:46:56.840 Although text kt uh set in the stage for another 1833 01:46:56.920 --> 01:46:59.640 segment after this deep belt of this is I did 1834 01:46:59.720 --> 01:47:02.239 not know that was the case that somehow on many 1835 01:47:02.279 --> 01:47:04.680 levels doesn't sound right. Real quick here, though, folks, I 1836 01:47:04.760 --> 01:47:06.359 want you to save you money. Go to foreign exchange. 1837 01:47:06.359 --> 01:47:09.600 You got an imported car, traditional import manufacturer Asia or Europe, 1838 01:47:09.760 --> 01:47:13.359 or if you have a Tesla, Yes, Foreign Exchange now 1839 01:47:13.479 --> 01:47:16.640 authorized to service Tesla.

My wife and I both get the 1844 01:47:26.680 --> 01:47:30.239 amazing savings on the oil change. I personally say yes, 1845 01:47:30.359 --> 01:47:32.319 I know it sounds insane. I saved more than two 1846 01:47:32.399 --> 01:47:35.359 hundred dollars every single time I get my oil change. 1847 01:47:35.880 --> 01:47:38.159 So I got that going for me, which is really 1848 01:47:38.319 --> 01:47:40.000 really nice. And I don't know how much money I've 1849 01:47:40.000 --> 01:47:41.920 saved over the years with the Honda service and my 1850 01:47:42.000 --> 01:47:45.119 wife's car and my daughter's, but it's a lot because 1851 01:47:45.159 --> 01:47:47.880 they don't charge nearly as much. Now do you sacrifice anything, No, 1852 01:47:48.000 --> 01:47:51.319 Actually you gained so in spite of the lower cost, 1853 01:47:51.479 --> 01:47:54.880 the customer service is superior. They're wonderful folks. You want 1854 01:47:54.880 --> 01:47:57.800 to talk to the mechanic, you can. I like that idea. 1855 01:47:58.279 --> 01:48:01.199 They're a SE certified master technique.

Okay, you set the 1888 01:49:36.079 --> 01:49:38.079 stage for why it's a bad idea to take that 1889 01:49:38.199 --> 01:49:42.239 thirty grand dangling care to fifteen years into service. Right 1890 01:49:42.279 --> 01:49:44.039 if you just wait, you're gonna get so much more 1891 01:49:44.079 --> 01:49:48.319 by way of your your your post service retirement retirement 1892 01:49:48.359 --> 01:49:48.720 of fits. 1893 01:49:49.000 --> 01:49:51.760 It's but you know, in the lifespan of retirement of 1894 01:49:51.800 --> 01:49:55.000 a veteran that equates to almost six hundred to eight 1895 01:49:55.239 --> 01:49:58.920 hundred thousand dollars, because not only are you giving up 1896 01:49:59.119 --> 01:50:02.279 ten percent of your carrement pay, your cost of living 1897 01:50:02.479 --> 01:50:07.199 adjustments are next until you hit sixty two, you get 1898 01:50:07.279 --> 01:50:10.399 a one time cost of living adjustment where the rest 1899 01:50:10.399 --> 01:50:11.800 of the world gets it every year, right, or the 1900 01:50:11.920 --> 01:50:14.199 United States? Right, the social curity says, oh, this is 1901 01:50:14.199 --> 01:50:16.479 the cost of living adjustment. You don't get it, so 1902 01:50:16.720 --> 01:50:20.880 your retirement pay is declining every year. We are advancing 1903 01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:21.520 this economy. 1904 01:50:22.600 --> 01:50:23.279 That's amazing. 1905 01:50:23.520 --> 01:50:23.640 Right. 1906 01:50:23.840 --> 01:50:27.000 Let's just all explain in detail to active service members 1907 01:50:27.079 --> 01:50:31.000 at fifteen years when they're offered this very very tempting 1908 01:50:31.119 --> 01:50:33.600 I'm going to go buy a new car thirty thousand 1909 01:50:33.600 --> 01:50:34.279 dollars payment. 1910 01:50:34.399 --> 01:50:36.199 You know, how many would you see in line with 1911 01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:38.359 their fingers in their ears even though you're trying to 1912 01:50:38.479 --> 01:50:40.920 teach them, because all they see is the fact period 1913 01:50:41.000 --> 01:50:45.079 of thirty thousand dollars. So it's the education, right, it's 1914 01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:47.000 having as a leader. 1915 01:50:47.479 --> 01:50:48.399 Stop right. 1916 01:50:48.520 --> 01:50:50.600 My admin's not allowed to sign it until they come 1917 01:50:50.680 --> 01:50:53.199 see me that they want it, and they're gonna dance 1918 01:50:53.279 --> 01:50:57.199 the boogie dance in front of me to validate why 1919 01:50:57.720 --> 01:51:01.159 this is beneficial to them, and then I get to 1920 01:51:01.199 --> 01:51:03.560 turn it back on them. This is what that's going 1921 01:51:03.640 --> 01:51:07.840 to cost you. Now, when we consider that, where's the wisdom? 1922 01:51:07.880 --> 01:51:10.680 If I'm not there, where's the wisdom I'm not Oh, 1923 01:51:10.760 --> 01:51:14.039 thirty grand looks great, sounds great, man, boy, could I 1924 01:51:14.079 --> 01:51:15.960 pay off some bills today? We're just going to start 1925 01:51:15.960 --> 01:51:19.000 increasing them again tomorrow. Right, it's like the credit card scheme, right, 1926 01:51:19.279 --> 01:51:21.479 I'm just gonna start adding to it. So it's like 1927 01:51:21.840 --> 01:51:26.239 you taking your foreign car to Steve's oil change. I 1928 01:51:26.319 --> 01:51:28.319 just started it down the corner. Come on, bring your 1929 01:51:28.359 --> 01:51:30.840 car over to me. I'll change the oil. Brian, I've 1930 01:51:30.880 --> 01:51:32.760 got I've got a filter and a couple of courts 1931 01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:34.359 of oil. I don't know what weight they are. Would 1932 01:51:34.399 --> 01:51:35.199 you take your car to me? 1933 01:51:35.720 --> 01:51:35.760 No? 1934 01:51:36.199 --> 01:51:43.840 No, right, So I had foreign exchange absolutely right, certified technicians. 1935 01:51:44.279 --> 01:51:44.399 Right. 1936 01:51:44.880 --> 01:51:49.399 And so when we're talking now outside the military, my 1937 01:51:49.600 --> 01:51:53.760 office Claremont County Veteran Service Office, my service officers are 1938 01:51:53.880 --> 01:51:57.840 as certified as your mechanics are at foreign exchange. They 1939 01:51:57.880 --> 01:52:02.279 are certified with the state, they are certified nationally. They 1940 01:52:02.319 --> 01:52:08.079 are smart, intelligent, and have the ability to file paperwork 1941 01:52:08.199 --> 01:52:11.880 with the VA in accordance with how the VA wants 1942 01:52:11.960 --> 01:52:17.119 to see it. There are things of primary presumptive secondary conditions. 1943 01:52:17.640 --> 01:52:22.119 But just like the reducts plan, who does that benefit? 1944 01:52:23.039 --> 01:52:26.880 Obviously the government, the VA decides, I'm we are going 1945 01:52:27.000 --> 01:52:30.319 to let veterans apply on their own behalf now, so 1946 01:52:30.439 --> 01:52:33.000 we're gonna put it out on our website. Do you 1947 01:52:33.119 --> 01:52:34.920 really think that's going to benefit the veteran? 1948 01:52:35.720 --> 01:52:39.399 If there are pitfalls and problems and traps that you 1949 01:52:39.479 --> 01:52:43.520 can fall into, then the answer is no. It requires 1950 01:52:43.720 --> 01:52:46.680 someone like you to explain it does. 1951 01:52:46.880 --> 01:52:49.119 It is atrocious. Alls I have to have is an 1952 01:52:49.119 --> 01:52:53.000 old form. Alls I have to have is an inappropriate 1953 01:52:53.199 --> 01:52:57.840 sequence of filing. And all this gets denied and then 1954 01:52:57.880 --> 01:52:59.880 I've got to set an appeal, so it's one of 1955 01:53:00.000 --> 01:53:01.560 two months to hear back. Now I got it to 1956 01:53:01.640 --> 01:53:03.640 set an appeal, it's one to two months for that, 1957 01:53:04.079 --> 01:53:07.600 and it keeps snowballing. So then what happens They call 1958 01:53:07.720 --> 01:53:09.960 my office and want to talk to my service officers. 1959 01:53:10.199 --> 01:53:12.600 What did I do wrong? I did this on my own. 1960 01:53:12.880 --> 01:53:14.520 It's kind of like your friend back in high school 1961 01:53:14.560 --> 01:53:17.000 decide he's going to rebuild his own motorcycle and he 1962 01:53:17.119 --> 01:53:19.079 ends up taking all the boxes of parts down the 1963 01:53:19.159 --> 01:53:21.600 local motorcycle shower and go, I couldn't figure it out. 1964 01:53:21.600 --> 01:53:25.319 We you assemble it, which would have been more economical 1965 01:53:25.399 --> 01:53:25.960 for your friend. 1966 01:53:26.119 --> 01:53:29.560 Always hire the professional. Hire the professional. Rests money. 1967 01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:34.359 Yes, absolutely, and agreed, So my services they're free. Make 1968 01:53:34.439 --> 01:53:36.640 the appointment. I'm not even charging you to put the 1969 01:53:36.680 --> 01:53:37.600 motorcycle back together. 1970 01:53:37.880 --> 01:53:40.920 That's that's awesome advice, Steve. It's terrific what you do. 1971 01:53:41.039 --> 01:53:43.760 And I know everyone there shares your enthusiasms health the 1972 01:53:43.800 --> 01:53:44.600 American veterans. 1973 01:53:44.640 --> 01:53:44.840 They do. 1974 01:53:45.199 --> 01:53:48.760 That's the great thing about it. It's not the government, 1975 01:53:48.880 --> 01:53:50.600 you know.

Welcome back to the morning show, Alex Chanceafilo, 2013 01:55:26.760 --> 01:55:29.319 head of the Ohio Republican Party. That's a pleasure to 2014 01:55:29.359 --> 01:55:30.279 have you on the morning. 2015 01:55:30.119 --> 01:55:33.520 Show, Brian, Good morning, sir, Good to be with you. 2016 01:55:34.159 --> 01:55:37.600 Did you have a particularly thankful Thanksgiving this year, sir? 2017 01:55:38.600 --> 01:55:41.479 Well, you know, I certainly did. I, as I've told 2018 01:55:41.479 --> 01:55:44.079 a lot of friends, this is the most enjoyable post 2019 01:55:44.159 --> 01:55:47.279 election period of my career. We obviously had a very 2020 01:55:47.319 --> 01:55:50.439 good night here in Ohio, an excellent night actually, So yeah, 2021 01:55:50.479 --> 01:55:53.239 I'm thankful for good things. But you know, Brian, much 2022 01:55:53.359 --> 01:55:55.479 like yourself, I know I see you on social and 2023 01:55:55.560 --> 01:55:57.640 I know a little bit about you. I'm grateful to 2024 01:55:57.680 --> 01:56:02.199 have a wonderful family and a hugely supportive and solid, 2025 01:56:02.319 --> 01:56:05.800 loving family. That's that's all around me, And that's really, Brian, 2026 01:56:05.880 --> 01:56:08.199 what ultimately matters, my friend, You and I both know 2027 01:56:08.359 --> 01:56:11.439 and that that was great. Watch a little football. None 2028 01:56:11.439 --> 01:56:12.119 of it any good. 2029 01:56:12.239 --> 01:56:14.520 You know, all the teams I cared about went down. 2030 01:56:14.680 --> 01:56:18.439 But you know, Ohio State loses the Michigan, the Bengals 2031 01:56:18.479 --> 01:56:21.880 take another painful loss, the Bearcats get beat. 2032 01:56:22.119 --> 01:56:25.039 I know that the hat trick of bad. 2033 01:56:25.159 --> 01:56:27.880 You know, it's tough being a football fan here in 2034 01:56:27.920 --> 01:56:31.520 Ohio of late, But anyway, the games have been enjoyable. 2035 01:56:31.560 --> 01:56:34.319 I've enjoyed watching football more this year I think than 2036 01:56:34.359 --> 01:56:35.960 any year of my life. In spite of the fact 2037 01:56:36.000 --> 01:56:38.039 that most of the teams that I support are losers, 2038 01:56:38.760 --> 01:56:40.680 I'm just starting to enjoy the game. Maybe it's my 2039 01:56:40.800 --> 01:56:44.159 old age kicking in, but anyhow, Yes, and you're right, 2040 01:56:44.239 --> 01:56:46.600 I'll double down on your on your your noting thanks 2041 01:56:46.680 --> 01:56:50.039 for wonderful family. I mean without family, I don't know. Well, 2042 01:56:50.039 --> 01:56:51.960 I wouldn't be I wouldn't be Alie right now without 2043 01:56:52.039 --> 01:56:55.920 my wife and family. So, without further ado, one of 2044 01:56:55.960 --> 01:56:58.439 the reasons that Thanksgiving was so wonderful, in addition to 2045 01:56:58.600 --> 01:57:01.399 taking a break from a ridiculous diet and enjoying pecan 2046 01:57:01.560 --> 01:57:05.199 pie made by my wife, nobody taught politics, and it 2047 01:57:05.319 --> 01:57:07.520 was a glorious thing. We all just sort of just 2048 01:57:07.720 --> 01:57:11.319 smiled and chatted and remembered and had stories to tell 2049 01:57:11.479 --> 01:57:13.039 and what we were doing in our lives, and that 2050 01:57:13.199 --> 01:57:17.479 was a refreshing experience. And I feel a little lighter 2051 01:57:17.760 --> 01:57:20.239 after the election is over, because I really and I 2052 01:57:20.279 --> 01:57:22.239 don't know how you felt, or those in your inner 2053 01:57:22.319 --> 01:57:25.119 circle felt, but I think most of my listeners, because 2054 01:57:25.119 --> 01:57:27.239 I've heard from so many of them, were really concerned 2055 01:57:27.239 --> 01:57:29.680 about the day after and that it was going to 2056 01:57:29.760 --> 01:57:31.800 some sort of riot in the street kind of thing. 2057 01:57:31.880 --> 01:57:34.000 Most notably, and I want to just get your reaction 2058 01:57:34.159 --> 01:57:37.920 on this point on that if Trump had not won 2059 01:57:38.039 --> 01:57:40.560 the popular vote, they would have been screaming in the 2060 01:57:40.600 --> 01:57:43.119 streets about getting rid of the electoral college. Right. Oh, 2061 01:57:43.239 --> 01:57:45.640 here it happens again. The popular vote went for you know, 2062 01:57:45.760 --> 01:57:50.479 Kamala Harrison. Nonetheless, the electoral college bubble burst nothing. The 2063 01:57:50.600 --> 01:57:53.880 silence is deafening, and it's beautiful, and it just it 2064 01:57:54.039 --> 01:57:56.159 just it was like a tremendous weight had been lifted 2065 01:57:56.239 --> 01:57:58.840 off my shoulders out about over the abundance of concern 2066 01:57:58.960 --> 01:58:00.680 that I had been keeping internally. 2067 01:58:02.399 --> 01:58:05.520 Well, no, I agree, and you know the noise that 2068 01:58:05.640 --> 01:58:08.600 I experienced eight years ago. Actually, and I won't recount 2069 01:58:08.640 --> 01:58:11.039 the whole story, but I was. I was an elector 2070 01:58:11.239 --> 01:58:14.359 for President Trump even eight years ago, meaning I was 2071 01:58:14.399 --> 01:58:17.159 one of you know, at the time, seventeen or I 2072 01:58:17.199 --> 01:58:19.920 think it was seventeen people that went to the electoral College, 2073 01:58:20.399 --> 01:58:23.560 and I was inundated with calls and emails and letters 2074 01:58:23.680 --> 01:58:26.359 sent to me saying ignore the will of Ohio voters 2075 01:58:26.359 --> 01:58:28.439 and do not, let you know, do not name Donald Trump. 2076 01:58:28.760 --> 01:58:32.600 That noise was overwhelming and really pushing back and I've 2077 01:58:32.640 --> 01:58:35.199 heard none of that. I mean, I really think, Brian, 2078 01:58:35.239 --> 01:58:38.840 I really my observation of this election cycle was, especially now, 2079 01:58:39.520 --> 01:58:42.119 the nation got a major course correction, and. 2080 01:58:42.199 --> 01:58:42.680 You're seeing it. 2081 01:58:42.760 --> 01:58:46.039 I mean, you see things like AOC stripping her bio 2082 01:58:46.520 --> 01:58:49.840 of her chosen pronouns, right. I mean, I think that 2083 01:58:49.960 --> 01:58:53.560 Democrats are saying, gosh, we went too far, too fast, 2084 01:58:53.680 --> 01:58:56.479 something we've been saying forever. And you know, I said 2085 01:58:56.640 --> 01:59:00.239 for really a year, especially as the Ohio chairman, because 2086 01:59:00.239 --> 01:59:01.880 I would get these calls saying, well, you know, it's 2087 01:59:01.920 --> 01:59:04.119 not a swing state anymore, and I would say, listen, 2088 01:59:04.199 --> 01:59:06.520 it's not that the state has changed that dramatically. Our 2089 01:59:06.800 --> 01:59:10.239 populations haven't shifted. The Democrats shifted. They they left the 2090 01:59:10.359 --> 01:59:13.319 mainstream of American politics. And you're seeing it now, you know, 2091 01:59:13.399 --> 01:59:15.960 from some of the gray hairs in their party. James Carville. 2092 01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:18.800 I saw something with Ron mcmanuel saying, you know, we've 2093 01:59:18.880 --> 01:59:21.319 we've lost our way. We've been saying that. I mean, 2094 01:59:21.359 --> 01:59:23.520 I you know, the Democrats used to talk about kitchen 2095 01:59:23.560 --> 01:59:26.159 table issues as well, and we would have a healthy debate, 2096 01:59:26.560 --> 01:59:29.000 you know, Brian, about how to split up the American pie, 2097 01:59:29.119 --> 01:59:31.960 how to how to make the best use of this 2098 01:59:32.199 --> 01:59:35.680 this wonderful capitalist system of ours, and that stopped that 2099 01:59:35.880 --> 01:59:38.199 that the Democrats have walked away. They don't even believe 2100 01:59:38.239 --> 01:59:41.079 in the system anymore. It seems to me most Democrats, 2101 01:59:41.399 --> 01:59:45.239 you know, barely sort of support the Constitution and patriotism 2102 01:59:45.319 --> 01:59:48.079 in the Statue of Liberty. So you know, it's that's 2103 01:59:48.199 --> 01:59:50.319 that's where they are. And you know they've paid a 2104 01:59:50.359 --> 01:59:53.000 price at the poll. So uh, you know, we've seen 2105 01:59:53.079 --> 01:59:55.159 we've seen a shift here over the last month where 2106 01:59:55.359 --> 01:59:58.199 I think even Democrats are chasened a bit and they 2107 01:59:58.359 --> 02:00:01.000 know that, you know, they I know that they have 2108 02:00:01.199 --> 02:00:03.680 to find themselves back to the center of American politics. 2109 02:00:03.720 --> 02:00:05.039 So this is going to continue to happen. 2110 02:00:05.239 --> 02:00:08.680 Amen. And I guess the mere fact that although I 2111 02:00:08.840 --> 02:00:10.960 know he is going to be sworn in as president, 2112 02:00:11.079 --> 02:00:13.880 he is the next president Donald Trump. They no longer 2113 02:00:14.039 --> 02:00:17.239 have that whipping boy that they would card out literally 2114 02:00:17.439 --> 02:00:20.600 every other word in any subject matter they were talking about. 2115 02:00:20.880 --> 02:00:24.199 You know, the Congress accent fails, the passive piece of legislation. 2116 02:00:24.279 --> 02:00:26.119 What's Trump's fault, Well, he's not in office, amn its 2117 02:00:26.119 --> 02:00:28.039 trumps fault Trump drop trum trump tr Trump. And they 2118 02:00:28.079 --> 02:00:30.000 tried to build it up so much and make people 2119 02:00:30.039 --> 02:00:32.359 feel so guilty for even uttering the man's name with 2120 02:00:32.479 --> 02:00:35.399 anything positive to say about him. People shut their mouths, 2121 02:00:35.479 --> 02:00:38.720 kept quiet and low, and behold, he got elected president, 2122 02:00:39.039 --> 02:00:41.119 and he got elected by the majority of the people 2123 02:00:41.159 --> 02:00:43.880 in the country. On top of it, so boom, the 2124 02:00:43.960 --> 02:00:48.279 whole argument is gone, and leaving them with what nothing 2125 02:00:48.479 --> 02:00:52.520 other than to recalibrate, readjust and realize that the majority 2126 02:00:52.520 --> 02:00:54.920 of American people are not woke. They're not in favor 2127 02:00:54.960 --> 02:00:57.800 of DEI, they're not in favor of defunding police, not 2128 02:00:57.840 --> 02:01:00.840 in favor of decriminalizing the system. And we've all witnessed 2129 02:01:00.840 --> 02:01:03.720 the aftermath of those ridiculous policies that have been embraced 2130 02:01:03.720 --> 02:01:07.560 over the past four to six years. Man, it's uh, 2131 02:01:08.000 --> 02:01:11.439 it's it's I'm sorry. I'm just really enjoying on a 2132 02:01:11.520 --> 02:01:13.600 sort of a Shoden Freud a kind of level right now. 2133 02:01:13.760 --> 02:01:16.359 Except for Hamilton County. I can ask you about that one. 2134 02:01:17.520 --> 02:01:21.079 Is it too late? And I part of me wants 2135 02:01:21.119 --> 02:01:22.680 to think, you know, and we can talk about some 2136 02:01:22.760 --> 02:01:25.239 of the larger issues Jdvans for example here Alex, But 2137 02:01:25.640 --> 02:01:27.479 you know, Hamilton County. I went to bed knowing that 2138 02:01:27.560 --> 02:01:29.760 it was all blue. We lost the prosecutor, we didn't 2139 02:01:29.760 --> 02:01:31.960 get the shareff we got. You know, we all knew 2140 02:01:32.000 --> 02:01:33.840 what the outcome of the other races was going to be, 2141 02:01:33.960 --> 02:01:36.640 you know, depending on where they were. But blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, 2142 02:01:36.680 --> 02:01:39.399 all across. But as you look out over the landscape, 2143 02:01:39.439 --> 02:01:41.239 and you know, sort of like the discussion we're having 2144 02:01:41.359 --> 02:01:45.319 right now, people are rejecting. They are reversing, They are 2145 02:01:45.439 --> 02:01:48.199 going back on what used to work. The bluest cities 2146 02:01:48.239 --> 02:01:51.199 in the country are screaming their bloody heads off over 2147 02:01:51.279 --> 02:01:54.640 the resources being allocated to the illegal immigration flow. They're 2148 02:01:54.720 --> 02:01:58.000 screaming about their neighborhoods being taken over by drug addicts 2149 02:01:58.039 --> 02:02:00.439 and drug dealers. All the stores being closed is because 2150 02:02:00.479 --> 02:02:07.880 no one prosecutes a crime for stealing. Stores are closing. 2151 02:02:08.439 --> 02:02:12.439 It's in the citizen read. The Democrats who elected the 2152 02:02:12.479 --> 02:02:15.319 woke officials to put these pauses into place are now 2153 02:02:15.560 --> 02:02:20.079 seeing the aftermath and demanding that they do a one eighty. Now, 2154 02:02:20.279 --> 02:02:23.319 with that said, can that happen in Hamilton County? 2155 02:02:25.319 --> 02:02:28.159 Well, you know the answer is that I remain hopeful. 2156 02:02:28.199 --> 02:02:29.920 You know, I left being the chair there a couple 2157 02:02:29.960 --> 02:02:31.760 of years ago, and I you know, I walked very carefully. 2158 02:02:31.840 --> 02:02:34.359 What's happening here? I still live here half the time, 2159 02:02:34.479 --> 02:02:36.880 so you know, it's important that things go well in 2160 02:02:36.960 --> 02:02:39.880 Hamilton County. Look, the answer really is this, Brian, It's 2161 02:02:39.920 --> 02:02:42.560 an answer unfortunately I've given a long time. I mean, 2162 02:02:42.920 --> 02:02:46.119 big cities really across the America, that's not It's certainly 2163 02:02:46.199 --> 02:02:48.479 believed me having gotten around the state. It's the exact 2164 02:02:48.520 --> 02:02:52.039 same conversation is happening in Cleveland. The exact same conversation 2165 02:02:52.199 --> 02:02:54.600 is happening in Columbus. You know they have am can 2166 02:02:54.640 --> 02:02:57.439 tell you in Columbus for instance, they've really the Republican 2167 02:02:57.479 --> 02:02:59.359 Party there and they've got a great, strong leader, much 2168 02:02:59.439 --> 02:03:01.319 like we have here. They just you know, they didn't 2169 02:03:01.319 --> 02:03:04.119 even field candidates because you know, you're picking your spots. 2170 02:03:04.159 --> 02:03:07.239 I mean, the future really for Hamilton County is I've 2171 02:03:07.279 --> 02:03:09.600 got a couple of prescriptions and they're not you know, 2172 02:03:09.920 --> 02:03:12.199 none of them aarticularly sexy. I mean, but one thing 2173 02:03:12.239 --> 02:03:15.800 I want Hamilton County residents to not forget is you 2174 02:03:15.920 --> 02:03:20.000 are an important voter to the messaging here in Ohio. 2175 02:03:20.119 --> 02:03:23.880 I mean, look, Hamilton County delivered one hundred and seventy thousand, 2176 02:03:24.039 --> 02:03:27.720 roughly votes for Donald Trump. Just to give you a comparison, 2177 02:03:27.880 --> 02:03:31.560 Butler County, which is a very red county, delivered about 2178 02:03:31.560 --> 02:03:35.079 one hundred and fifteen thousand votes for Donald Trump. So 2179 02:03:35.439 --> 02:03:39.680 we need Hamilton County fully functioning, fully voting, and the 2180 02:03:39.720 --> 02:03:41.800 same is true for Bernie Marino and everybody else. So 2181 02:03:42.279 --> 02:03:44.680 you know, the impact that big counties have on this 2182 02:03:44.880 --> 02:03:48.840 statewide ticket, it's not going away. So you know, these 2183 02:03:48.920 --> 02:03:51.960 counties matter very very much now, these county level races, 2184 02:03:52.159 --> 02:03:53.960 I think. So the first thing is you can't lose 2185 02:03:54.000 --> 02:03:56.119 sight of that as a Republican in Hamilton County. The 2186 02:03:56.239 --> 02:03:59.359 second thing is, you know, we can actually, you know, 2187 02:03:59.520 --> 02:04:04.039 begin to field targeted races with candidates with crossover appeal. 2188 02:04:04.119 --> 02:04:06.119 And sometimes, you know, that's a hard message to hear, 2189 02:04:06.199 --> 02:04:08.920 especially from you know, some of my really conservative friends, 2190 02:04:08.920 --> 02:04:11.560 and I count myself among that group, but it's hard 2191 02:04:11.600 --> 02:04:13.279 to say it, but sometimes you have to find and 2192 02:04:13.520 --> 02:04:15.199 I think most of the powers had that. I think 2193 02:04:15.239 --> 02:04:17.840 she had ran a wonderful campaign, but you know, you're 2194 02:04:17.880 --> 02:04:19.680 just you're just in a blue city and it just 2195 02:04:19.760 --> 02:04:22.119 makes it harder and harder. But you know, look, I mean, 2196 02:04:22.159 --> 02:04:24.199 as I've as I've shared with the local chairman here 2197 02:04:24.239 --> 02:04:27.239 and the ones in Cleveland and Columbus, you know, don't 2198 02:04:27.479 --> 02:04:29.760 don't You know you have to celebrate what you were 2199 02:04:29.800 --> 02:04:32.600 a part of, and that is winning Ohio because, believe me, 2200 02:04:32.680 --> 02:04:36.159 Ohio does not go for Donald Trump without Cleveland, Columbus 2201 02:04:36.239 --> 02:04:39.560 and Cincinnati showing up in huge numbers. And make no mistake, 2202 02:04:39.600 --> 02:04:44.000 Brian Republicans in Hamilton County turned out. They did turn out. 2203 02:04:44.000 --> 02:04:46.159 The problem is there's just too many people in the 2204 02:04:46.279 --> 02:04:49.039 cities continuing to hear this left wing message from the 2205 02:04:49.079 --> 02:04:51.720 Democratic Party. And look, can we turn that around? I 2206 02:04:51.800 --> 02:04:54.720 think we can. You're seeing us make inroads, certainly with 2207 02:04:54.760 --> 02:04:57.840 halfcan American males for making inroads. You're seeing crime as 2208 02:04:57.880 --> 02:05:00.520 a key issue for our party. So yeah, there is 2209 02:05:00.640 --> 02:05:02.880 hope ahead, but you know it's going to take a slow, 2210 02:05:02.920 --> 02:05:06.359 steady progression and candidates who can speak to issues that 2211 02:05:06.439 --> 02:05:08.039 Democrats care about in the big cities. 2212 02:05:08.520 --> 02:05:11.560 Well, and you know, I like meless of power. She 2213 02:05:11.640 --> 02:05:14.880 went literally everywhere in the county, all over the place, 2214 02:05:15.479 --> 02:05:17.920 much in the same way Donald Trump as a presidential candidate, 2215 02:05:18.000 --> 02:05:21.479 went into areas and neighborhoods and edit forums that no 2216 02:05:21.600 --> 02:05:24.920 other Republican president would have dare trod and he proved 2217 02:05:24.960 --> 02:05:27.159 and got unable to was able to get his message out. 2218 02:05:27.439 --> 02:05:29.520 I mean, even just by running a candidate that may 2219 02:05:29.640 --> 02:05:32.640 have a very low likelihood of winning as a Republican, 2220 02:05:32.760 --> 02:05:35.000 you can get forced the other side to have to 2221 02:05:35.079 --> 02:05:37.279 address these key issues. And that's kind of where my 2222 02:05:37.359 --> 02:05:42.039 hope comes from, because those far left wing policies have 2223 02:05:42.279 --> 02:05:44.720 ruined cities, and even the Democrats who voted for the 2224 02:05:44.720 --> 02:05:47.520 people who enacted them realize that. And that's why I 2225 02:05:47.600 --> 02:05:52.039 think there's a positive direction opportunity here. So let's pause, 2226 02:05:52.039 --> 02:05:53.560 weib bring Alex back because we want to talk about 2227 02:05:53.600 --> 02:05:57.720 Jade Vance's replacement and how things are looking in Columbus 2228 02:05:57.800 --> 02:06:02.000 as we look forward into the next a period there. 2229 02:06:02.079 --> 02:06:04.000 So it's paused right now. It's EGE sixteen. And let 2230 02:06:04.079 --> 02:06:06.840 me mention my favorite firearm store, twenty two three on 2231 02:06:06.920 --> 02:06:09.479 Route forty two between Mason and Leven was there last 2232 02:06:09.760 --> 02:06:12.920 Friday with my neighbor Beth, who bought her husband a 2233 02:06:13.199 --> 02:06:15.520 really awesome gun and she didn't know where to go. 2234 02:06:16.199 --> 02:06:18.000 I said, we'll support twenty two three. I said, the 2235 02:06:18.119 --> 02:06:21.880 prices are always very competitive, and even if the gun's 2236 02:06:21.920 --> 02:06:24.199 not in stock, I call Wendy up because of course 2237 02:06:24.239 --> 02:06:26.680 I called Wendy and not Jeff, Jeff's listener right now, 2238 02:06:27.039 --> 02:06:29.119 but she said, yeah, no problem, it was there in 2239 02:06:29.159 --> 02:06:31.000 two days ready to pick up. I took her in there. 2240 02:06:31.119 --> 02:06:32.840 She bought a case of AMMA. I got ten percent 2241 02:06:32.880 --> 02:06:35.319 off that when it was on sale, and it's so happy, 2242 02:06:35.399 --> 02:06:38.600 and I know her husband is really happy about what 2243 02:06:38.720 --> 02:06:42.640 he's getting for Christmas. No surprises revealed here, he's already 2244 02:06:42.720 --> 02:06:45.359 seen it. So yeah, I put my money where my 2245 02:06:45.439 --> 02:06:47.319 mouth as I'm a customer there.

Yeah, No, I 2267 02:07:53.119 --> 02:07:57.079 mean Lexa, the governor makes this appointment. For anyone listening 2268 02:07:57.079 --> 02:07:59.319 to they, I'd understand that the governor of Ohio, under 2269 02:07:59.560 --> 02:08:02.840 our state constitution makes this makes this appointment to the 2270 02:08:02.920 --> 02:08:03.760 United States Senate. 2271 02:08:03.880 --> 02:08:05.840 And there are many good candidates. 2272 02:08:05.840 --> 02:08:08.000 And really the reason I'm being a little coy and 2273 02:08:08.039 --> 02:08:09.960 having some fun with you is there are some people 2274 02:08:10.000 --> 02:08:12.720 that think can quote Republican Party makes this call the 2275 02:08:12.800 --> 02:08:17.079 Republican Party's antithy I run, we don't look, we're we 2276 02:08:17.199 --> 02:08:19.279 think there are a slew of great candidates. You know, 2277 02:08:19.319 --> 02:08:21.199 if I start naming them, I probably miss some. But 2278 02:08:21.560 --> 02:08:24.119 you know, certainly Frank Larrose is interested who's our secretary 2279 02:08:24.159 --> 02:08:26.800 of State. I think that's been out there. Jane Timpkin, 2280 02:08:26.880 --> 02:08:29.960 who's you know, a native Cincinnati and actually now lives 2281 02:08:30.000 --> 02:08:31.960 in Can'ton, Ohio. And a name that's well known in 2282 02:08:32.039 --> 02:08:35.800 Republican Party circles, you know, Warren Davidson, I know is interviewed. 2283 02:08:35.800 --> 02:08:37.800 Who's our congress my congressman on the west side of 2284 02:08:37.800 --> 02:08:38.560 Hamilton County. 2285 02:08:39.079 --> 02:08:39.520 I don't know that. 2286 02:08:39.680 --> 02:08:42.039 I don't I think I've made news. I'm even sure 2287 02:08:42.079 --> 02:08:44.159 he interviewed. I just think he might be interested, So, 2288 02:08:44.279 --> 02:08:46.119 you know, I just there are lots of good people. 2289 02:08:46.159 --> 02:08:48.960 Again I've left out other names, people that maybe in 2290 02:08:49.000 --> 02:08:50.800 this part of the state do not know might carry 2291 02:08:50.840 --> 02:08:53.079 from central Ohio. I think is one of the names 2292 02:08:53.079 --> 02:08:55.239 that's been bandied about. So you know, there are other 2293 02:08:55.319 --> 02:08:57.279 people that have shown an interest in this. You know, 2294 02:08:57.399 --> 02:08:59.680 lots of people have, I mean, being a United States 2295 02:08:59.760 --> 02:09:01.800 Center or you know, it's one of the one hundred 2296 02:09:01.840 --> 02:09:04.960 most powerful legislative jobs in the world. Really, so if 2297 02:09:04.960 --> 02:09:06.720 the governor has to make a call here, you know, 2298 02:09:06.760 --> 02:09:08.640 the timing of this, I just don't know. I mean 2299 02:09:08.920 --> 02:09:11.079 I believe and I don't have any you know, sort 2300 02:09:11.079 --> 02:09:14.000 of inside information here necessarily, but I believe that's gonna 2301 02:09:14.079 --> 02:09:17.319 run right up until right around January to twentieth's only 2302 02:09:17.399 --> 02:09:20.279 because Senator advances vote, you know, in a Senate that's 2303 02:09:20.600 --> 02:09:22.800 you know, only a couple votes of going the wrong 2304 02:09:22.960 --> 02:09:25.000 way there. So I think his vote will be needed 2305 02:09:25.319 --> 02:09:28.359 to confirm him any of the President Trump's nominees. So 2306 02:09:28.760 --> 02:09:30.000 you know, I think that you're going to see that 2307 02:09:30.159 --> 02:09:32.840 that run, you know, into January. I don't think we're 2308 02:09:32.840 --> 02:09:35.279 gonna have news on that front, you know, for some time. 2309 02:09:35.439 --> 02:09:37.439 And listen, I mean, my job and the job of 2310 02:09:37.479 --> 02:09:40.319 the Ohio Republican Party is to elect Republicans. That's the 2311 02:09:40.399 --> 02:09:43.319 number one obligation of the organization. So we'll we'll wait, 2312 02:09:43.479 --> 02:09:45.920 and you know, whoever the nominee of the Republican Party 2313 02:09:46.079 --> 02:09:48.159 is in twenty twenty six, that's who will run. 2314 02:09:48.239 --> 02:09:49.560 Brian, This is one of important point. 2315 02:09:49.600 --> 02:09:51.199 Do I just again, I know you've got some of 2316 02:09:51.239 --> 02:09:54.560 the most educated listeners anywhere, but people need to understand 2317 02:09:54.560 --> 02:09:58.439 that whoever gets appointed will run two times in four years, and. 2318 02:09:58.479 --> 02:10:00.840 That is a daunting task, I want to tell you. 2319 02:10:00.960 --> 02:10:03.399 On others, someone like Bernie Marino had to raise four 2320 02:10:03.600 --> 02:10:06.840 hundred to million dollars that's a number that's hard to 2321 02:10:06.920 --> 02:10:08.960 say for people who have to raise money. And I'm 2322 02:10:09.000 --> 02:10:11.640 one of those folks. So it is a serious commitment. 2323 02:10:12.199 --> 02:10:15.039 Bernie Marino is you know, he is he He had 2324 02:10:15.079 --> 02:10:17.159 to have broken records on the amount of miles that 2325 02:10:17.239 --> 02:10:19.600 the man put on his on his vehicle because he 2326 02:10:19.840 --> 02:10:23.079 was all over the state. The commitment to take on 2327 02:10:23.239 --> 02:10:25.359 this challenge is a real one. These are not just 2328 02:10:25.439 --> 02:10:29.600 TV TV appearances and speeches. This is a commitment that's 2329 02:10:29.920 --> 02:10:32.520 a seven day a week commitment for years. And I 2330 02:10:32.840 --> 02:10:34.960 you know again, Brian, well, well, I've got the floor 2331 02:10:35.000 --> 02:10:36.279 on that point. I do want to just make one 2332 02:10:36.319 --> 02:10:39.039 additional point. I wish people sometimes could see behind the 2333 02:10:39.079 --> 02:10:41.319 curtain what I've seen for a long time, and that 2334 02:10:41.479 --> 02:10:44.600 is the commitment that people make to actually run for office. 2335 02:10:44.600 --> 02:10:47.520 And I know there's a cynicism Brian, around politics and 2336 02:10:47.600 --> 02:10:50.840 about politicians, and you know, some of that's the warranted, 2337 02:10:50.920 --> 02:10:53.560 but you know, these people work very very hard for 2338 02:10:53.640 --> 02:10:56.239 the right to go and represent you, and somebody like 2339 02:10:56.319 --> 02:10:58.640 Bernie is a post to child for that. Others I mean, well, 2340 02:10:58.680 --> 02:11:00.319 it's the powers work very very hard. 2341 02:11:00.560 --> 02:11:00.720 You know. 2342 02:11:01.039 --> 02:11:04.039 Sharon Kennedy is notorious. Our chief Justice here in Ohio 2343 02:11:04.359 --> 02:11:06.600 for just having laid it out. I mean, these people 2344 02:11:06.640 --> 02:11:08.680 set aside their lives, and I look, I got a 2345 02:11:08.720 --> 02:11:10.960 little taste of that myself. You know, I went I 2346 02:11:11.119 --> 02:11:13.359 probably went a month without you know, a serious day 2347 02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:15.800 where I didn't do anything political. So, you know, again 2348 02:11:15.880 --> 02:11:18.399 not being a martyr, but people should understand during this 2349 02:11:18.479 --> 02:11:21.399 holiday season some level of gratitude towards these people and 2350 02:11:21.479 --> 02:11:23.199 the work they put out to go and fight for us. 2351 02:11:23.560 --> 02:11:25.840 I think is is you know, I think is merited. 2352 02:11:26.000 --> 02:11:30.079 So it is, and you know, the the jaded and 2353 02:11:30.199 --> 02:11:33.000 cynical among us then say, well, there's a reason they 2354 02:11:33.079 --> 02:11:34.960 work that hard for us, because they're going to go off, 2355 02:11:35.039 --> 02:11:37.960 you know, not you know, being of modest financial means, 2356 02:11:38.000 --> 02:11:39.960 and like every other human being that ends up getting 2357 02:11:39.960 --> 02:11:42.760 elected and going to d C. Somehow magically they come 2358 02:11:42.840 --> 02:11:46.439 back multi millionaires. Which is why I like guys like Moreno, 2359 02:11:46.600 --> 02:11:49.000 I like Ramas swimming, I like must because they seem 2360 02:11:49.000 --> 02:11:50.640 to be wanting to do the job for the good 2361 02:11:50.680 --> 02:11:52.760 of the people. They don't need the damn money, you 2362 02:11:52.800 --> 02:11:53.279 know what I mean. 2363 02:11:54.479 --> 02:11:56.359 Well, there's no question I mean, I you know, Bernie 2364 02:11:56.439 --> 02:11:59.279 marino Is has taken a pay cut for that you 2365 02:11:59.359 --> 02:12:02.239 can be sure or as are lots of other people 2366 02:12:02.279 --> 02:12:04.600 in this business who I know personally, but you know, 2367 02:12:04.720 --> 02:12:08.239 it's it's it's a serious commitment. And look, I mean 2368 02:12:08.279 --> 02:12:11.439 that cynicism is healthy sometimes, Brian, because we should hold 2369 02:12:11.439 --> 02:12:13.239 these people to account. You know the other point I 2370 02:12:13.279 --> 02:12:15.079 would quickly make, and I know you're not answer the question, 2371 02:12:15.119 --> 02:12:17.800 but what we as Republicans need to do. And I've 2372 02:12:17.880 --> 02:12:19.640 told this to everybody, and I've said it every time 2373 02:12:20.159 --> 02:12:22.239 I've been part of winning elections and losing ones. We 2374 02:12:22.399 --> 02:12:24.279 now got to go do the job. I mean, we 2375 02:12:24.479 --> 02:12:26.760 enjoyed this victory really for about two or three days. 2376 02:12:26.800 --> 02:12:29.399 But we must as Republicans go and do what we 2377 02:12:29.439 --> 02:12:32.079 said we're gonna do under Donald Trump's leadership. We're gonna 2378 02:12:32.079 --> 02:12:34.960 have the House in the Senate federally, we must do 2379 02:12:35.199 --> 02:12:38.720 what we said deportations, we must steal the border. We've 2380 02:12:38.760 --> 02:12:40.840 got to cut taxes. We've got to you know, keep 2381 02:12:40.920 --> 02:12:43.159 the cut the tax cuts that we're in place to 2382 02:12:43.239 --> 02:12:46.520 keep this economy growing, cut prices, drill for energy, all 2383 02:12:46.600 --> 02:12:48.600 the things. And I say, Donald Trump is a guy 2384 02:12:48.640 --> 02:12:51.279 who has a checklist. This guy's tireless too. He works 2385 02:12:51.319 --> 02:12:54.199 his tail off. We got to do these things so 2386 02:12:54.439 --> 02:12:56.920 that the pendulum does not swing back, because ultimately, in 2387 02:12:57.039 --> 02:12:59.920 American politics it tends to swing back. These wins can 2388 02:13:00.079 --> 02:13:02.319 be fleeting, but we must do what we said we 2389 02:13:02.439 --> 02:13:04.520 are going to do. So people like me who have 2390 02:13:04.600 --> 02:13:06.600 to go out and sell the Republican Party and talk 2391 02:13:06.640 --> 02:13:09.600 about our accomplishments, not just you know, our aspirations. 2392 02:13:10.000 --> 02:13:14.119 Amen that Chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, Alex Charantafila. Alex, 2393 02:13:14.199 --> 02:13:16.800 if you and I don't talk before the Christmas season 2394 02:13:16.920 --> 02:13:19.279 kicks in, I hope you have a very merry Christmas. 2395 02:13:19.319 --> 02:13:21.640 Best to health to you and your entire family, And 2396 02:13:21.760 --> 02:13:24.920 again I share your true appreciation for family and the 2397 02:13:24.960 --> 02:13:27.000 importance of it. God bless you, my friend. I hope 2398 02:13:27.039 --> 02:13:28.239 we get to talk again real soon. 2399 02:13:29.199 --> 02:13:30.840 Me too, Mary. Christmas to you and your family and 2400 02:13:30.880 --> 02:13:32.800 all your listeners.

I am I'm in my office in New 2446 02:15:52.319 --> 02:15:55.079 York City, where I will be for the next I 2447 02:15:55.199 --> 02:15:56.439 don't know how long. 2448 02:15:57.199 --> 02:15:58.560 Slightly different schedules. 2449 02:15:58.600 --> 02:16:00.760 See you see me instead of yes, allow shirt and 2450 02:16:01.000 --> 02:16:04.159 unshaven with a code and tie and clean shaven. 2451 02:16:04.880 --> 02:16:07.279 Look, you're looking great. I'm sure you've got a whole 2452 02:16:07.319 --> 02:16:09.399 lot on your plate, as you typically do. And we'll 2453 02:16:09.439 --> 02:16:12.439 find out what's going on with judging freedom coming up 2454 02:16:12.439 --> 02:16:13.800 at the end of the segment, as we always do. 2455 02:16:13.960 --> 02:16:19.960 But this one I've been calling all morning an upcoming 2456 02:16:21.239 --> 02:16:24.159 constitutional law lesson. We're going to be We're going to 2457 02:16:24.199 --> 02:16:26.960 be engaged in a deeper die because when I read 2458 02:16:27.039 --> 02:16:30.920 the topic, or when I read your columns heading, you 2459 02:16:31.079 --> 02:16:34.399 captured the column three cheers for Hunter's pardon, and I 2460 02:16:34.520 --> 02:16:37.440 started worrying, because you know, every once in a while, 2461 02:16:38.000 --> 02:16:41.559 my listener's perspectives on politics and life will come into 2462 02:16:41.639 --> 02:16:44.120 a measure of disagreement with the judge, like I can't 2463 02:16:44.159 --> 02:16:47.000 believe he said that. And I'll defend you all day long. 2464 02:16:47.280 --> 02:16:49.479 I'll defend your position even if I disagree with it, 2465 02:16:49.600 --> 02:16:53.639 because we engage in a thoughtful conversation, and I wasn't 2466 02:16:53.760 --> 02:16:58.959 expecting you to back up to where you went when 2467 02:16:59.000 --> 02:17:01.239 I was starting to read the column, and the point 2468 02:17:01.319 --> 02:17:06.360 being fundamentally the original point that you make regularly one 2469 02:17:06.440 --> 02:17:09.639 that the foundation, the highest law of the land in 2470 02:17:09.719 --> 02:17:13.079 our country is the Constitution, and it limits the size 2471 02:17:13.120 --> 02:17:16.719 and scope of government so much so that Hunter Biden 2472 02:17:16.719 --> 02:17:18.719 shouldn't even have been charged into these because they don't 2473 02:17:18.760 --> 02:17:21.079 have the authority for the various charges like, for example, 2474 02:17:21.159 --> 02:17:23.440 the Second Amendment. You shouldn't have to fill out a 2475 02:17:23.559 --> 02:17:27.040 form to have your exercise your Second Amendment. So go ahead, 2476 02:17:27.040 --> 02:17:27.799 I make you please. 2477 02:17:28.319 --> 02:17:30.959 So there's two charges here. I mean, first of all, 2478 02:17:32.000 --> 02:17:34.440 no one can really analyze what's going on in Joe 2479 02:17:34.479 --> 02:17:36.799 Biden's brain. I don't know if he knows what's going 2480 02:17:36.879 --> 02:17:39.879 on fair enough in his brain. This is obviously Joe Biden, 2481 02:17:39.959 --> 02:17:44.639 the father over Joe Biden, the institutionalist who were railed 2482 02:17:44.680 --> 02:17:49.200 against the concept of pardons, who railed against Gerald Ford's pardon. 2483 02:17:49.319 --> 02:17:50.200 Of Richard Nixon. 2484 02:17:50.760 --> 02:17:53.040 There are, of course, just by way of background, two 2485 02:17:53.159 --> 02:17:56.360 classes of pardons, one for a specific crime, and one 2486 02:17:56.440 --> 02:17:59.959 a broad form for all crimes that you might have committed, 2487 02:18:00.200 --> 02:18:04.760 whether charged or uncharged, whether known or unknown. That's the 2488 02:18:05.040 --> 02:18:08.120 pardon that Ford gave to Nixon. That's the pardon that 2489 02:18:08.399 --> 02:18:12.920 Joe gave to Hunter. But the crimes for which he 2490 02:18:13.079 --> 02:18:16.799 was prosecuted, you and I would not have been prosecuted 2491 02:18:17.000 --> 02:18:22.639 for them. The tax crime, he actually paid the taxes 2492 02:18:23.120 --> 02:18:27.040 with interest and with penalty, and they still prosecuted him 2493 02:18:27.040 --> 02:18:30.559 because of pressure the Republicans put on the Justice Department. 2494 02:18:31.120 --> 02:18:32.559 The gun crime. 2495 02:18:33.200 --> 02:18:36.200 Under the Supreme Court's ruling, the current gun laws are 2496 02:18:36.239 --> 02:18:40.079 supposed to reflect what they were in seventeen ninety one. 2497 02:18:40.120 --> 02:18:43.040 When the Second Amendment was adopted. In seventeen ninety one, 2498 02:18:43.120 --> 02:18:46.280 you could smoke all the hemp you wanted and still 2499 02:18:46.440 --> 02:18:50.639 carry a sidearm proof. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were 2500 02:18:50.799 --> 02:18:53.280 millionaires by selling hemp. 2501 02:18:53.520 --> 02:18:53.719 Yeah. 2502 02:18:55.479 --> 02:18:58.639 Yeah, I they can't make this upright, no, I know. 2503 02:18:58.879 --> 02:19:00.959 And at some point and maybe we can just look 2504 02:19:01.000 --> 02:19:04.479 at that one specific issue, the FFL form you have 2505 02:19:04.559 --> 02:19:10.120 to fill out, and also the barrel length restriction rules. 2506 02:19:10.200 --> 02:19:12.280 You know, you have to have a special license for 2507 02:19:12.399 --> 02:19:16.559 short barreled rifles and all these layers of laws. I 2508 02:19:16.920 --> 02:19:19.879 am wondering whether now we have with the current you know, 2509 02:19:19.879 --> 02:19:21.680 the Brewin decision and the others, if we have this 2510 02:19:21.799 --> 02:19:25.680 opportunity now for someone, for example, Hunter of Biden could 2511 02:19:25.719 --> 02:19:29.760 have defended himself and said, no, this FFL nonsense, even 2512 02:19:29.799 --> 02:19:31.719 though I was stoned out of my mind and I 2513 02:19:31.799 --> 02:19:36.399 lied on the form. This FFL nonsense is unconstitutional on 2514 02:19:36.559 --> 02:19:38.760 its face because none of it existed at the time 2515 02:19:38.799 --> 02:19:42.559 the Second Amendment was acknowledged by the Bill of Rights, 2516 02:19:42.639 --> 02:19:45.639 and ergo, you can't put that kind of impediment in 2517 02:19:45.719 --> 02:19:48.120 front of me when I'm trying to exercise my Second 2518 02:19:48.120 --> 02:19:48.799 Amendment rights. 2519 02:19:49.680 --> 02:19:54.440 So the standard definitions of crime, you know this, I 2520 02:19:54.639 --> 02:19:58.440 know this, many of your listeners probably do, has three requirements. 2521 02:19:59.040 --> 02:20:03.600 One the crime is promulgated by a legitimate authority that 2522 02:20:03.760 --> 02:20:06.920 has the authority to make the event a crime. 2523 02:20:07.440 --> 02:20:08.719 Two that there was harm. 2524 02:20:09.280 --> 02:20:10.559 Three that there was a victim. 2525 02:20:11.440 --> 02:20:12.520 There was no harm here. 2526 02:20:13.159 --> 02:20:15.680 The gun that he bought, he had his girlfriend throw 2527 02:20:15.760 --> 02:20:19.239 away in a dumpster before it was ever even fired. 2528 02:20:19.760 --> 02:20:23.040 There was no victim here. I suppose the government would 2529 02:20:23.040 --> 02:20:26.440 claim it was a victim because he lied to the government, 2530 02:20:26.520 --> 02:20:29.280 But the government can't show that it was harmed by 2531 02:20:29.840 --> 02:20:33.120 its victimhood. And then we get back to where we started. Brian, 2532 02:20:33.360 --> 02:20:37.079 does the Congress have the authority to make these things 2533 02:20:37.159 --> 02:20:40.479 a crime? This will scandalize the public. What I'm about 2534 02:20:40.520 --> 02:20:42.920 to say. You know this, and lawyers know this, and 2535 02:20:43.120 --> 02:20:47.639 students of the Constitution know this. The Constitution authorizes just 2536 02:20:48.000 --> 02:20:53.120 two crimes. Debasing the money supply, you know, putting out 2537 02:20:53.159 --> 02:20:57.280 a coin that's half gold and half pewter and claiming 2538 02:20:57.360 --> 02:21:00.319 it's all gold and getting the full face value for it. 2539 02:21:00.440 --> 02:21:02.719 Debasing the money supply and then that coin is out 2540 02:21:02.799 --> 02:21:06.479 in the money supply. And treason, which is defined in 2541 02:21:06.559 --> 02:21:11.159 the Constitution as giving aid and comfort to the country's 2542 02:21:11.280 --> 02:21:17.120 enemies or waging war against against the States. How many 2543 02:21:17.280 --> 02:21:23.239 crimes has Congress created five thousand, one and ninety nine, 2544 02:21:23.280 --> 02:21:26.159 and only two of them are authorized by the Constitution. 2545 02:21:26.399 --> 02:21:28.319 And that's why I said we were going to law 2546 02:21:28.360 --> 02:21:30.680 school today, because you know a lot of people said, well, listen, 2547 02:21:31.000 --> 02:21:34.079 anybody else on the planet, we would be prosecuted if 2548 02:21:34.079 --> 02:21:36.680 we had that many some suspicious activity reports on our 2549 02:21:36.719 --> 02:21:39.959 multiple bank accounts with money flowing three the inflowing them 2550 02:21:40.040 --> 02:21:43.639 from from foreign governments into our own personal hands. They 2551 02:21:43.680 --> 02:21:46.760 would have investigated us had we done something like that. 2552 02:21:46.879 --> 02:21:50.120 They wouldn't have slow walked the IRS investigation to the 2553 02:21:50.159 --> 02:21:52.280 point where they let the Statute of limitations run, they'd 2554 02:21:52.280 --> 02:21:54.120 have been all over us like white on rises. My 2555 02:21:54.200 --> 02:21:57.360 dad used to say. But to your point, there are 2556 02:21:57.479 --> 02:22:00.600 five and ninety nine federal crimes on the books now, 2557 02:22:00.879 --> 02:22:04.719 only two of which really are legitimate under the limitations 2558 02:22:04.760 --> 02:22:07.079 of the Constitution. The balance are in the hands of 2559 02:22:07.120 --> 02:22:10.399 the states. The states, as you acknowledge in point out 2560 02:22:10.479 --> 02:22:15.399 in your historical review in the column, would be responsible 2561 02:22:15.479 --> 02:22:18.040 for prosecuting anyone who violated the law. 2562 02:22:18.239 --> 02:22:21.360 Correct like the Whiskey Rebellion, where a bunch of farmers 2563 02:22:21.440 --> 02:22:24.559 in western Pennsylvania in seventeen ninety one to two three 2564 02:22:24.600 --> 02:22:28.600 and four refused to pay an exercise tax on whiskey 2565 02:22:28.760 --> 02:22:32.799 because they needed to sell the whiskey to stay alive 2566 02:22:32.920 --> 02:22:38.000 and operate their farms, and they resisted the tax collector 2567 02:22:38.079 --> 02:22:41.440 with violence. They were prosecuted in a Pennsylvania state court. 2568 02:22:41.600 --> 02:22:45.399 Two of them were prosecuted for treason. How can failure 2569 02:22:45.440 --> 02:22:48.479 to pay a tax be treason? Well, they persuaded a 2570 02:22:48.639 --> 02:22:53.120 federal judge that using violence against the federal tax collector 2571 02:22:53.280 --> 02:22:56.040 was the moral equivalent of treason. They were convicted and 2572 02:22:57.200 --> 02:23:01.399 George Washington pardoned them. In the first part presidential pardons 2573 02:23:02.360 --> 02:23:05.079 in American history now there is a downside to this, 2574 02:23:05.360 --> 02:23:11.000 to Joe, not to Hunter. Last week, if Hunter was 2575 02:23:11.120 --> 02:23:16.079 dragged before the House Oversight Committee and sworn to tell 2576 02:23:16.159 --> 02:23:19.360 the truth and said, and they asked him, did you 2577 02:23:19.440 --> 02:23:21.920 funnel money to your father from Barisma when he was 2578 02:23:22.040 --> 02:23:23.440 Vice President of the United States? 2579 02:23:23.559 --> 02:23:23.879 Answer? 2580 02:23:24.280 --> 02:23:26.879 I refusually declined to answer on the grounds of the 2581 02:23:26.959 --> 02:23:31.079 Fifth Amendment right. Ask him that question tomorrow. He has 2582 02:23:31.159 --> 02:23:33.680 to answer it. He has no Fifth Amendment right. By 2583 02:23:33.760 --> 02:23:36.639 accepting the pardon, he gave up his Fifth Amendment. 2584 02:23:36.360 --> 02:23:39.479 Rights and ergo, he could be a witness in some 2585 02:23:39.799 --> 02:23:44.040 future prosecution related to some criminal activity on a federal level. 2586 02:23:44.319 --> 02:23:48.879 Because this pardon only absolves him of federal crimes state crimes, 2587 02:23:48.959 --> 02:23:51.760 it does not involve ergo, he could be still criminally 2588 02:23:51.879 --> 02:23:54.760 prosecuted in a state had he done something during this 2589 02:23:54.879 --> 02:23:58.159 window of time. I don't know. Go ahead. 2590 02:23:58.399 --> 02:24:02.440 His testimony, of course, could also be used to embarrass 2591 02:24:02.600 --> 02:24:06.280 humiliate the father. It's too late to prosecute the father. 2592 02:24:06.680 --> 02:24:10.600 Let's say that Joe was bribed just hypothetically when he 2593 02:24:10.760 --> 02:24:13.639 was vice president. The statute of limitations is five years, 2594 02:24:13.680 --> 02:24:15.520 so it's too late to prosecut him. It's not too 2595 02:24:15.600 --> 02:24:18.319 late to impeach him even after he leaves office, and 2596 02:24:18.399 --> 02:24:21.879 of course it's never too late to tarnish his legacy. 2597 02:24:23.079 --> 02:24:25.840 But his own Justice Department said he's a doddering old 2598 02:24:26.000 --> 02:24:28.520 man and he can't put him in. 2599 02:24:28.559 --> 02:24:29.360 The defense chair. 2600 02:24:30.120 --> 02:24:34.799 And given his age and his obvious health issues, it 2601 02:24:34.879 --> 02:24:37.159 could be that, you know, God rest his soul. Joe 2602 02:24:37.159 --> 02:24:39.440 Biden's not around for a long time. Hunter Biden may 2603 02:24:39.559 --> 02:24:41.920 very well find himself in need of money, and Ergo 2604 02:24:42.079 --> 02:24:45.360 could write memoirs and expose everybody and everything that's gone 2605 02:24:45.399 --> 02:24:49.520 on in the name of making literally millions of dollars correct. 2606 02:24:49.959 --> 02:24:50.360 Correct. 2607 02:24:51.079 --> 02:24:54.719 Most of the people that I interact with are furious 2608 02:24:54.760 --> 02:24:56.879 about the pardon because they hate the father and they 2609 02:24:56.920 --> 02:24:59.200 hate the son, and they think that the father it's 2610 02:24:59.200 --> 02:25:01.040 a kruk and he helped the Sun get away with 2611 02:25:01.200 --> 02:25:04.159 being a crook. But all of that is a legitimate 2612 02:25:05.159 --> 02:25:10.000 opinion that is widely held. My analysis is based upon 2613 02:25:10.319 --> 02:25:13.000 what I suggest and argue is a prudent reading of 2614 02:25:13.079 --> 02:25:17.319 the Constitution, a Madisonian reading of the Constitution, which says 2615 02:25:18.680 --> 02:25:22.879 the Constitution chains down the federal government. Congress can't give 2616 02:25:22.959 --> 02:25:26.360 itself the power to enact laws that the Constitution doesn't 2617 02:25:26.399 --> 02:25:27.680 authorize it to an act. 2618 02:25:28.040 --> 02:25:30.120 Well, I can only wait for the day when someone 2619 02:25:30.200 --> 02:25:33.200 can raise these arguments, have standing to raise them, raise 2620 02:25:33.239 --> 02:25:34.760 them in a federal court, and maybe make it up 2621 02:25:34.760 --> 02:25:36.719 to the Supreme Court, who would say, you know what, 2622 02:25:37.559 --> 02:25:40.440 after two hundred and fifty years, you're right, this is 2623 02:25:40.559 --> 02:25:43.719 gonna stop real quick. I just got to read this 2624 02:25:44.000 --> 02:25:48.120 line the judge who is dismissing the I believe it's 2625 02:25:48.200 --> 02:25:52.479 the tax case. And apparently the pardon wasn't properly filed. 2626 02:25:52.520 --> 02:25:54.840 So he made a point about the appropriate nature of 2627 02:25:54.879 --> 02:25:57.639 the filing. You know how courts aren't judges are with 2628 02:25:57.719 --> 02:26:00.719 eyes properly being dotted and teas crossed. Yes, I'm going 2629 02:26:00.799 --> 02:26:03.760 to dismiss it when it's properly filed with me. But 2630 02:26:03.920 --> 02:26:06.239 he had this today, had this to say, and I 2631 02:26:06.280 --> 02:26:08.920 thought it was rather funny. Something for the following discussion. 2632 02:26:08.959 --> 02:26:11.200 The court assumes the pardon is effective and we'll dispose 2633 02:26:11.239 --> 02:26:13.879 of the case. The Supreme Court long has recognized that, 2634 02:26:14.079 --> 02:26:19.920 notwithstanding it's nearly unlimited nature, the pardon power extends only 2635 02:26:20.399 --> 02:26:24.879 to past offenses, which to me sounded like this sort 2636 02:26:24.920 --> 02:26:26.840 of perception that Hunter Biden was going to go back 2637 02:26:26.840 --> 02:26:30.200 to criminal activity on a going forwards. 2638 02:26:29.959 --> 02:26:34.719 Right, imagine if you could pardon someone into the future. 2639 02:26:36.920 --> 02:26:41.760 My god, Judge edit of Politano, I always love our conversations. 2640 02:26:41.799 --> 02:26:44.000 Thanks for taking everybody to law school today and reminding 2641 02:26:44.079 --> 02:26:49.000 us that the Constitution is a limiting document.

Can't make 2651 02:27:12.399 --> 02:27:15.000 heads or tail out of that debacle. We're looking forward 2652 02:27:15.040 --> 02:27:17.440 to checking out your podcast, Judging Freedom.
