  Speaker 1: When I get out of my car and film, I
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: just put on the app fifty five KRC the talk
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: station five O five A fifty five k r C
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the talk station sen Prophetic, well vation, Well we're excellent
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: choice to sound by Sarahsstrecker, executive producer. Appreciate that five
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: one three, seven nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: eight two three talk down five fifty on a T
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and T. Found love to hear from people in the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: reaction to the election, which was pretty much just slaughter.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Uh vva gramas Whamy summed it up pretty well, Uh
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we got our asses handed to us. That's a quote
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: from the fake Ramsey. I think it's going to be
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the next governed in the state of Ohio. But after
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: yesterday's election, I guess I got to scratch my head
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and wonder why Hamilton County last resident. I'll bring the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: flag at least from the city of Cincinnati anyhow, dah
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: he heard the top of the air news there I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: voting for the same old, same old. But when only
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: twenty six percent of the people show up to vote,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you can expect that. I guess that sort of the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: reality of the city of Cincinnati's voters. Yeah, all the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: incumbents got elected, of course, with one seat open. Congratulations
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Ryan James, he's your newbie, the ninth councilman member who
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: made the grade.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And I am.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So, so so heartbroken the Christopher Smithman is not a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: council member again, just you know, of all the races
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that were going on, and I you know, I'm a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: practical man. I like Corey Bowman. I think he ran
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: as good a race as a Republican with you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: no electoral experience or no elected experience. I could have run.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You know, this whole brother of JD. Van's thing, I'm
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: sure had an impact. And they have a lot of
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: pundits commenting on the election and thinking that this, you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: this Trump derangement syndrome played a large part. But voter turnout,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I think who's more motivated to go to the polls
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: really really really angry anti Trump, evil Orange man type
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: folks or anybody else out in the world. Just getting
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: people to go to the polls. I guess Trump derangement
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: syndrome really drives people there. But it's sort of status
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: quo in the city of Cincinnati. I went to sleep
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: last night thinking you know, it's probably going to be
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: status quo in the city of Cincinnati again. Oh lo
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and behold, it's sure as hell is so you got
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Kareny Johnson, Owens, I'll be Jefferies, Wallace, cameronon and Nolan's.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Any of that sounds sounds familiar to you for residents
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of the city. And now James right behind James, Liz
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Keating and Christopher Smithman. James got six point nine percent.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: That was the lowest that qualified you for election to council.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Keating came in at five percent and Christopher three point
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: six percent. So depressing. Yeah, I personally am And you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: can go ahead and have some shot in freud. If
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you don't like Brian Thomas or his politics, then there
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you have it. Enjoy, relish in it, wallow in it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's okay. I can can go. I've dealt with electoral
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: losses and I don't take them personally. I would like
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to see the country go in a different direction. But
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: here we are, you know, and it's the interesting vv
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Ramase on me and a lot of other pund you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: politicians and others. Commenting on the race yesterday, affordability, he
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: said the party should shift it shift its focus to affordability.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Vivic did make the American dream affordable. And he also
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: suggested Republicans shouldn't should stop playing identity politics. And this
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: is where I kind of, you know, I'm out of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: alignment with v Vig's comments because I don't recall that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: race and religion were a big deal in this election.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: It's pointed out he didn't elaborate on that identity politics comment,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: but some suggested that the Republican's attacks on Zorhan Momdami,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: who's the next mayor of the New York City, focused
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that he was a South Asian Muslim born in Uganda.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that necessarily being an issue. I thought
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it was all about him being a Marxister socialist. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: apparently that works out well with the voters in the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: New York City who are frustrated again by the cost
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of living. So this is winning in a prayer time.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The current Democrats, for example, running the city Cincinnati, running
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: New York City, didn't provide any solutions to the problems
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that plagued the area. And they're comparable in New York
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and Cincinnati, and the crime and homelessness, I guess to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a certain degree affordability keeps coming out over and over
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and over again in the assessment of yesterday's election, I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: honestly do not know how you know a local politician
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: can deal with affordability issues. I think New York City
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is in for a world of hurt with Mom Donnie's proposals.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Should they become reality. It's only going to make matters worse.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: But we're all going to sit back with our popcorn
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: out and watch the whole the thing burn. And as
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I you know, scan through all of the local election results,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: one of them stuck out, I think a little bit
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: more than the others. Joe Strecker. Did you see what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: happened in Anderson Township? Anderson Township Josh Garth and Lexei Lost.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I thought that both of them were really respected folks.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I thought they were doing good job as trustees. Now
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they came in third and fourth. I guess Anderson Township's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: gone blue. Former Anderson Township trustee Drew Pappus had rather
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: pointed in comment to make on Facebook to his fellow
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Anderson Township residents, and I appreciate what he had to say. Anderson,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: hang your head very blanking low. Just about six hours
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: ago from Drew Pappas, and people are like, what's going on?
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Every single Democrat, one person noted the looms or here
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: is so fueled by their Trump rangent syndrome and arrogant ignorance.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: That'll be the ruination of this township, Anderson township. Maybe,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But I guess was it low voter turnout there? Also?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: The motivation was so strong on the Democrat side of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the equation that what I thought was a solid red township.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: And apologies to folks out there that are, well, what
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: about my race? What about my township? I'm just my
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: perception of Anderson has always been that it is very,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: very a conservative community doing really well economically. They've got
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of business building, a lot of you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like a very well oiled machine.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So I just my mouth literally fell open on that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: one when I saw it. So just kind of scratching
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: my head and wonder, let's see what Steve's got to say. Steve,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning. I appreciate the assistance because
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: basically I'm kind of at a loss. What's on your mind? Steve,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Thanks again for calling.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to make a correlation between how Republicans
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: lose elections and Democrats, I mean, are you going to
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: move out of the country and.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Start rioting and all that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: No, No, we take it with a grain of salt
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: because we're we're not We can think three steps beyond
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: a situation. Yeah, the town a lot of the townships.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I think you start digging into townships that are conservative. Uh,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: look and see what's changing in it. I know one
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: township specifically, people are moving out of the I don't know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the Democrat run cities and moving to the townships. But
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: then they want to come there and make and change.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Like I know one area a Democrat moved in and
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: wants to get rid of the good o boys and
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: again Range has been there for sixty seventy years because
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: he doesn't like the noise. So it's like they're trying
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: to once again, like you say, they move out of
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: New York City, Democrat city states, move into a Republicans
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: because it's so nice, low crime, low taxes, and then
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: they want to change it to the crap where that
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: came from.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Sorry for the words.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: No, that's all right. I'd sum it up that way myself,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and it's okay to use the crap word in the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: five o'clock our most notably, although I think that one
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: passes mustard between six and nine as well, but regardless, Yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I mean that's the big worry for everybody out here
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: where things are really nice and you have this nice conservative,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you know, small government mentality, and you think things are
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: going along swimming La crime is low, you know, business
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: investment is great, housing is being built, and then you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: it becomes an attractor zone. It's like Texas. They drew
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: all the Californians who fled California during COVID, and because
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of all their crazy, bad crap policies, they all move
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: into Texas and everybody thinks, oh my god, Texts is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: gonna end up being a blue state. You're importing all
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the bad ideas that you ran away from. How much
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: sense does that make? But we'll wait to take go ahead.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: And like Tom says, don't vote Democrat, don't don't vote rhow.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I think tell him to tell him to start putting
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: put down on a three fours a chance. Yeah, we
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: had a little wristbands, no vote Democrat, vote right, And yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I guess the message didn't get out at least didn't
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: get out to enough people, and it wasn't motivating enough
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to get people off of their well asses and into
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the polls. Yesterday again you'll have got one out of
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: four people in the city voting. Uh, welcome to reality.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: It's going nothing is ever going to change if people
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: just don't bother. And you know, I would love to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: be able to, you know, sort of see what it
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: would look like an election where all registered voters actually
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: came out and voted. Maybe the results would be the same.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And again I know that the city is overwhelmingly blue
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and Hamilton County is apparently blue. And God bless Josh
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Berkelewitz and Betsy Sunnemon they both lost, those two wonderful judges.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And see that, to me is a reflection of political ignorance.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: You couldn't find a couple of better people in terms
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: of judges, Sunderman and Burkerwood's they lost. But you know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I guess again pondering that sort of unrealistic thing that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: will never ever happen. If you're registered to vote, you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: actually go and vote, would the landscape look any differently?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Or I mean, are we irreparably damaged, completely lost to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: this blue wave? And will it get even bluer? A
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: lot of questions swirling now. But the Democrat Party, you know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a couple of gubernatorial races, big wins for the Democrats
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey and Virginia, but they were moderate candidates
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: compared to the of course outcome in New York City
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: with ma'm donnie will. How will they reflect on this?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Are they going to push that more centrist messaging like
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: they were able to do in those states? Or are
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: they going to go full on Mundami and embrace this
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: far left socialist mentality that remains to be seen. A
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: lot of challenges and a lot of assessing going to
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: happen happen in the aftermath of this one. Ted, you
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: are on the phone, and I will promise to get
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: your call immediately after we return. It's five point sixteen.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I got to take a break, but I appreciate hearing
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: from anybody. I am at a code of a loss in
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: terms of assessing this. And we all have sphincters, right,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: we all have opinions. I'd love to hear yours. Feel
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: free to call me this morning. Be right back.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: John Hannity.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Host Apocalypse one Day, fifty eight hundred two three Talk
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: High Green Brewery, Bretwood location. If you want to get
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: drunk today, come on over, have some listener to lunch,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and we'll drown our sort of staring difficult disbelief off
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: into the distance. John, you hang on Ted's first, Ted,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: thanks for holding over the brake there. Welcome to the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Morning Show.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Brian.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Hey.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: I just wanted to say that I share your disappointment
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: in the election results.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Thank goodness.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: I live in Dark County, which is solid.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: They read yes, sir.
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: The only other thing that I can say is, like
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: my older brother used to say, you just can't fix stupid.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what. I think you may be right, Ted.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: You can't fix apathy either, and you can't fix a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: lazy electorate that doesn't bother to get up and vote.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: You know on that one, Ted, I was just looking,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: for example. I'm so disappointed that Josh Burke, Wroicks and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Betsy Sunimon didn't win. But I was looking at the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: number of votes counted in all of Hamilton County, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I recognized there were different municipal court regions in there,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: but less than forty thousand people decided the race. I mean,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in case of Stephanow and Sunderman race less than it
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: was right at about twenty seven thousand residents decided that race.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: There were some races where it was a real squeaker.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I think of the total number of
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: people in Hamilton County, it's a pretty substantial number of people.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: But when you see that the election came down to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: only let's say, fifty people bothering to show up, Well
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: there's your answer. I don't know. I don't know how
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you get people motivated. I guess maybe people don't go
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: ahead that.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: They need to get motivated.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, no question about it. Dad, Have a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: good day and enjoy things up there in solid red
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: dark John, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Morning show, sir, Yeah, good morning.
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: How are you not well?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like it's all out of my hands.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I did what I could. I showed up and voted
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: on a few races. None of it, I guess most
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of them did. That doesn't matter, and sims downt you.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, I went, I participated, and I am
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: just laying witness to the results and just I guess
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: overwhelmingly disappointed. Sums up how I feel this morning. Not
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: necessarily because of the outcome of the race, but because
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of the point I made, so few people determined the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: outcome of the race. Right.
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: Well, what I'd like to say is, if you think
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: the roads are bad now, you probably might want to
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: invest in the most heavy duty suspension truck you can buy,
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: because they're really getting ready to get bad.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I think you're right, John, I really do.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I know I'm right. I've been right for years.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: I've been right since twenty fifteen.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: It's not maybe I'm right, might be right, could be right.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: I grew up in Cincinnati, I grew up in Wyoming, Ohio.
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: I grew up in a nice neighborhood. And it's all
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: going to helen. You know why it's going to hell, Brian,
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: because look, let me get back to you right here.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Let me let's lay this down for you. See where
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: this if you follow the crux of this, it all
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: started in twenty fifteen. Who was mayor in twenty fifteen?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: That was uh, oh God, don't test me like this.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: It's so I'm still reeling from the outcoming.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: It was John Craandly That's who the mayor was.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: John.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: The last thing, Yeah, I'm listen.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: Got okay, so follow the balancing ball. So here it's
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: where it all started that nobody ever seems to pay
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: attention to. And I don't know where you were, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: all these Republicans that call in with their half assed nonsense,
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: you know, calling in the radio and everything, and that's fine,
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: but it's all a bunch of jive. And I'll tell
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: you why the problem began. When Cranley turned that into
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: a sanctuary city. I told everybody, this is exactly what
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: was going to happen. And I couldn't believe the turnout.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: There was probably me and maybe maybe twelve people down
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: there to defend against that. But I saw this coming
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: in twenty fifty. And it's too bad that your radio
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: station and everybody else's in't down there on board to
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: defer this. Then we wouldn't be in this boat. Because
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: this is a formula just.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Started, John, I hear you, and you know it was
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: declared a sanctuary city. But in what way did that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: declaration transform the city and result in maybe the roads
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: not getting paved or pick an issue that the city
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: is in control over, and how did the sanctuary city
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: designation make things worse?
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: This is a formula.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: This is a formula.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: It's not like just Mayhem. It's a formula in all
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Democrat cities, and he was a part of it, just
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: like now they're getting ready to eculate the complete socialism
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: and communism.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I hear, I hear what you are saying. In what
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: way did let's say, an influx of illegal immigrants impact
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the outcome of this vote? First off, they're not eligible
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to vote, and second off, only one out of four
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: voters that live in the city even showed up. So
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to draw the connection between the sanctuary
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: city designation and the outcome of yesterday's election.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: That's all just to explain that you don't think, you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Don't think those corrupt policies pitions didn't manipulate that situation
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: to make it make it come out to benefit from
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: them to be able to vote. They manipulated the situation
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: because it was a plan all along.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: How did they manipulate in what way? John? You explain
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: that you don't think?
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: You don't think those people got signed up and put
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: on the register illegally the vote. I wonder how many.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: I wonder how many legitimate voters there truly are they?
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Now this is where I was looking for you. You're speculating.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: You you're saying maybe the vote was manipulated. You don't
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: have any facts or information on that, but was it?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Just was it the twenty five percent of people that
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: showed up to vote? Was that just all the illegal
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: immigrants that did this? I mean, you know a lot
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of people didn't show up. I'm just trying to I'm
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: isolating this specific sanctuary city designation because you're the one
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: complaining about it, and you're criticizing the program for not
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: focusing on it. And we talked a lot about sanctuary
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: city designation personally. Because illegal immigrants cannot vote, I don't
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: view it necessarily as a voter influencer problem. I mean,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: people might be upset with the outcome and the result
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: of an influx of a bunch of illegal immigrants that
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: might change their vote. But maybe the city residents, the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: ones that showed up, like the idea, you know, maybe
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they embrace it and want it. I don't know. I'm left.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just sort of like you, asking out loud, But
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I haven't been able to isolate that one as being
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: particularly impactful on the overall vote. I may be wrong.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I'd have to ask people that actually showed up to vote,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: What influenced them, what cause them to stick with the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: exact same group of people In spite of the fact
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that everyone admits and agrees, we've got a crime problem
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: on our hands, we have an infrastructure deterioration problem on
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: our hands. We have some pretty incompetent decisions by the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: current administration. Welcome to another couple of years the same thing.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I guess. Finally, six, if I'm curious to the doc station,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: what Saie Jim is queued up looking for? I think
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you about Carecity Talks five three seven fifty hundred D
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: two three talk on five fifty on at T phones. Yes,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I'll take all the help I can get this morning
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: as I struggled to sort of process this processing it,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and his the prior callers point five. Maybe
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: it did have an impact.
• 19:15
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Personally, can't see it. But you know, we all have opinions,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and I welcome them here in the morning show, especially
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: when it comes from west Side Jim. Always great hear
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: from you, west Side Jim, truck Commander. I want to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: thank you initially for your your willingness and assistance with
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the operation of the election Day yesterday. Notwithstanding the outcome.
• 19:36
  Speaker 12: Well, Brian, it was a long night and for the outcome,
• 19:39
  Speaker 12: I don't know if it was worth it or not, buddy,
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: But I know one thing I got to agree with
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: John on. Sunset's not going to be paid. So you
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: got something to talk about for the next four years.
• 19:48
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: It's funny because Corey Budman was heading heading on over
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to I guess it was Salor Park yesterday. He texted
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: me listening to the program and he said he saw
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: some construction trucks, road paving trucks on Sunset. He said,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: maybe Sunset's going to get paved. They look like road
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: paving equipment. Anyway, I'm not holding my breath for that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: No, And that's as you know what, of all the losses,
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: that's the one that hurt me the most because I
• 20:15
  Speaker 12: grew to, you know, Corey Bowman really well, and I
• 20:19
  Speaker 12: got a new friend out of this.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, good friend. And he worked his rear end.
• 20:24
  Speaker 12: Off on this campaign. I mean, and it showed, you
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: know that that blue piece of paper it was a
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: lady Command complained that there was no pink copies being
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: sent out. My polls had pink copies. Yeah, there was
• 20:37
  Speaker 12: three names on it. Three names, Brian. Now, how can
• 20:41
  Speaker 12: the Republicans break break ranks and get in there? If
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: you've got three names and you're.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Fighting twenty nine people, that's about it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: One possible.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Well, and you know, I guess the problem Republican Party
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: generally has is if there isn't an R after the name,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: they won't endorse. I mean, Steve good and lost. I mean,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: what an outstanding man he is, and he what a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: wonderful benefit he would have been to the city of
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati on council. He just worthy of anybody's endorsement. But no,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you don't get a Republican endorsement because he ran as
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a charterright. So that's one name that wasn't on a
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: pink slip, even though it would have been a nice
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: nudge in that direction. But let's face it, Jim, you
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: can print out all the pink slips in the world,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: with all the wonderful candidates in the world ignoring party affiliation.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: If people aren't going to get up and go out
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and vote, it's going to be a worthless exercise.
• 21:29
  Speaker 12: There was thousands and thousands of pink slips. I saw
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: him down at the headquarters. He just said nobody was
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: on him. I mean three there was nothing. There was
• 21:39
  Speaker 12: nothing that was an embarrassment. And then you hit Don Dreehouse.
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: You know, there's the name that didn't make it because
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: of his sister and so forth. A dree House name
• 21:48
  Speaker 12: always gets elected, no matter what they're run for. When
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: I was up at Prycell Chilli yesterday, we always split
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: the outside room and the Republicans get half the room
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: and a Democrats get the other half of room. And
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: of course Corey was basically the focal point of all
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: the news programs. But by then, man, I mean, people
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: had voted. And when I saw thirty thousand early voters,
• 22:13
  Speaker 12: I basically knew from his past history that this thing
• 22:17
  Speaker 12: was going to be basically over unless it was all
• 22:19
  Speaker 12: thirty thousand Republicans.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: And I knew better than that. I just I don't know.
• 22:24
  Speaker 12: I mean, I live in a city, and right now,
• 22:28
  Speaker 12: twenty six years ago when I bought this house, if
• 22:30
  Speaker 12: I knew twenty six years later, I had never bought
• 22:33
  Speaker 12: the city.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: That's for dagon. Sure.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we all can't read the future, Jim, and I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: certainly understand. Well, just make sure you bring the flag
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: out if you finally decide to give it up. But
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I could go going back to numbers. Total
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: votes for mayor basically come in around sixty six thousand,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and how many residents are there in the city, Jim.
• 22:52
  Speaker 12: Oh god, there's two or three hundred and thirty thousand,
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: sixty six Yeah, yeah, three hundred and thirty. But that's
• 23:01
  Speaker 12: not all voters.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's people.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: That's people, right, I mean, even if half of them
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: were registered. You know, you're looking at a total of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: sixty six thousand who voted for mayor. It's fifty one
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: six went to Aftab and fourteen and change went to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman.
• 23:17
  Speaker 12: And you know, I text you this morning about that
• 23:19
  Speaker 12: that medical that pervol had hit in those medical bills.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You mean the medical bills that had already been written
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: off by the providers. Yeah, that yeah, okay exactly.
• 23:30
  Speaker 12: And I think that makes a difference. I mean, these
• 23:32
  Speaker 12: people think, okay, we got that taken care of, what's
• 23:35
  Speaker 12: going to be next and if we if we would
• 23:37
  Speaker 12: have got Corey Bowman in there or anybody on council,
• 23:41
  Speaker 12: are they going to give us stuff the way the
• 23:43
  Speaker 12: Democrats did? And that's I mean it plays. Ah, it's
• 23:46
  Speaker 12: just like this a school levy. You know the thing,
• 23:49
  Speaker 12: well is, well, raise taxes, and that school levey went
• 23:52
  Speaker 12: went down or went up by crazy it did. I
• 23:55
  Speaker 12: mean they passed that thing though.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I think it was like seventy yeah, seventy three, twenty seven.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: And from the when the reporting came in, since my
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: public school tax levee overwhelmingly for and then.
• 24:06
  Speaker 12: You keep, we keep telling people if it doesn't raise taxes,
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: but if you if you voted down, your taxes go down.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: No, I know.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: And I was surprised. Across the board. With a couple
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: of notable exceptions, most every single levee passed. You know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: we're all screaming and whaling about property tax increases and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: our property taxes are so outrageous, and yet every time
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: you go to the polls, you end up voting for
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: more of the same. Hey.
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: Well, and there these are the people that complain after
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: their kids get out of school that the taxes are
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: too high. Yeah, you know, it's the same in a
• 24:39
  Speaker 12: city that Well, I'm a renter and it doesn't affect me.
• 24:43
  Speaker 12: Yes it does, because after the taxes go up, your shoot,
• 24:46
  Speaker 12: your rent's going to go up unless you're on section eight. Yeah,
• 24:50
  Speaker 12: Anderson Township. When you talk about Anderton Township.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: That one blew my mind.
• 24:54
  Speaker 12: That's a shocker. That's a real shocker. I agree with Andrew.
• 24:59
  Speaker 12: Those people out there. I don't know what they just did.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe they'll find it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: Yeah, but did take Delhi Briant. They had two trustees
• 25:07
  Speaker 12: around with not no opponents. What would have happened if
• 25:11
  Speaker 12: the Democrats would have thrown opponents there? I mean, I
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: think the outcome would have probably been the same, But
• 25:17
  Speaker 12: still are we guessing? I've seen Cheryl Seevie at the
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: polls yesterday. She pulled up where our truck was and
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: she was still scared to death because of what was
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: going on. And she didn't even have an opponent.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, so she was scared and even didn't and didn't
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: have an opponent. Maybe she was frightened of something other
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: than the race.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: Well, she's worried about the future, of course, of course,
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: but you know, and not having an opponent, and she
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: she was frightened to the whole thing. And she came
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: up for lunch yesterday and she looked like a scared
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: gravity and I kept telling her, you don't have an opponent,
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: so I don't know. It's like that word, it's slaughter.
• 25:56
  Speaker 12: And I don't think we'll ever recover from this. I
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: really don't in my lifetime. That's for Dion.
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I hate to give up, and I would like to
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: remain somewhat optimistic that people will wake up to reality.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: But if you don't pay attention and you don't get
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: up and vote, you're not going to change the dynamic.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I mean again, going back to council, every single one
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: of the incumbents re elected.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Except that one new guy.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, damn, Ryan Jample.
• 26:22
  Speaker 14: I didn't even see a sign for him.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even recall reading his name, Jim before I
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: got up this morning. Who is Ryan James. Well, maybe
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: we'll find out, But given the paucity of local reporting
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: on the antics of Cincinnati City Council, all will remain quiet,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I suppose at city Hall.
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: It just makes me shake my head.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Brian, I too, am shaking my head this morning. Jim,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I certainly can hear it in your voice. Don't give up,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: don't give up, Just try to remain positive and we'll
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: all well, I guess just watch and see what unfolds.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: There's nothing else we can do but that right now.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: A party, got a party they've got to change.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Well, do what you can. I mean, if you know
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: where the problems are within the Republican Party here in
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Hamilton County, then get on them. I I the machine
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: needs a little bit more oil. Perhaps, I don't know,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Jim Again, this.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Needs some new blood that knows what to do.
• 27:17
  Speaker 12: The Democrats. I'll give the Democrats credit. Yeah, their machine
• 27:21
  Speaker 12: knows what to do and they've done it for a
• 27:23
  Speaker 12: long time. This is not something that this happened yesterday.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no. I mean this is
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: why I think someone like an Iris Rolie is so
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: important to the per of all administration. She is well
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: connected with a lot of people who probably do and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: did go out and vote.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: You know, you got these activists, they're well connected. They
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: all communicate with each other. Social media has made that
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: so easy to do the rabbit in their politics, and
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: that motivates them to go to the polls. It's like
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Trump arrangement syndrome that probably got a lot of voters
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: off of the couch nationally even I mean you look
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: at some of the other races where the Democrat that's
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: one there's a lot to that. I find it weird.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's a diagnosable phenomenon. But there is so
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: much pent up anger and wailing and gnashing of teeth
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: about Donald Trump generally speaking, that that'll drive people to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the polls.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, Bryan.
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: Lastly, I did see a quote from Donald Trump's this
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: morning when I was watching TV, and it's Donald Trump
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: said Donald Trump wasn't on the ballot, that's why so many,
• 28:24
  Speaker 12: so many Republicans lost.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's true.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: In typical Trumpy in fashion, Yes, that's exactly what I
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: would expect him to say.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Brian, keep your chin up.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Jim, hope to see a lunch today. I understand if
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you can't make it, but we are going to be
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: over at the High Green Beer Brentwood location. If you
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: want to show up a listener lunch, I'll be there,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and yes, I will have a beer in my hand. Tom,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: hang on, you're first out of the gates. Five point
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: thirty nine right now. If your five KARCD talk station,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: fifty five krc RED span the talk station by forty three.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: If if you have KRCD talk station, Let's go straight
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: to the phones. Somebody didn't get the message. Tom, welcome
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: back to the Morning Show. Good to have you call
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: in this morning as always.
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it looks like a lot of people didn't get
• 29:09
  Speaker 10: the message. You have the people who didn't even bother
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: to go vote, And all I can say to those
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: people is I don't want to hear you complaining about anything.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: That's pretty much the Signal ninety nine did a very
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: rather more long winded version of exactly what you said,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: pointing out that they're a two hundred and twenty one
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: thousand registered voters in the city, with only sixty six
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: thousand of those showing up, less than thirty percent turnout.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't vote, don't don't even complain. Don't
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: even bother complaining. You lost your right to complain.
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: What is Jake? What did Jay Ratless say his famous
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: quote keep your stupid mouth shut right much?
• 29:49
  Speaker 15: So?
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, to the people that did vote, Uh, it's it.
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: You know what goes to what motivates excuse me, what
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: motivated you that? What motivated you to vote for? Who
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: you voted for and what you voted for? And uh,
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: I kind of first of all, thank you, Steve first
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: caller there, appreciate it. Yeah, more people need to get
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: the message out, but to uh, to kind of piggyback
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: on what John was saying. And I understand his frustration.
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: I get it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: And he talked about a formula and the way the
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: way it sounds to me, it looks to me like
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: what the way the Democrats are going is. They're all
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: about excusing people's behavior as long as they know those
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: people are going to vote for them. Let's so the
• 30:35
  Speaker 10: whole the whole illegal immigrant thing, sanctuary city thing. Now,
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: maybe in in in reality, those actual illegal immigrants did
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: not vote at all, and let's just let's just say
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: that didn't happen. I don't know, but let's just say
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: it didn't happen. They didn't get a chance to vote.
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: The attitude is still out there. We are excusing illegal behavior.
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: We we do.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: You want people to know that you can come here
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: and be safe from the consequences of your illegal behavior.
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: That is part of the Democrat formula that appeals to people.
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: That's what was the word I brought up the other day.
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: It was like, it's very seductive language that the Democrats use.
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: Here's another one. People that have excuses for other people's
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: behavior because of the color of their skin. Oh well,
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: you come at it from a Eurocentric point of view. Well,
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: there's an Afro centric point of view. It doesn't matter
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: Afro euro whatever. It's common sense, it's law and order.
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: If you go out in society and you break the law,
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: you should be held accountable for your actions. And we
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: have a Democrat Party who does not want to do
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: that because they want people to feel that you do
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: whatever they want. Oh, just come vote for us, Just
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: keep voting for us, keep us in power. We'll keep
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: letting you get away with what you do. That is
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: the biggest part of the formula that I think John,
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: and he may not have been thinking exactactly that, but
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: when I hear that, that's what I think. And that's
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: the seductive part of the Democrat Party.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: And that's what's.
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: Bringing this township, city, county, state, and country down. Is
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: that formula.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Well, that formula also includes a very very sizable chunk
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: of class warfare built into it. You know, evil rich
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: people and their evil and they're wrong, and you know,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: but for a systemic a society that's systemically broken, irretrievably broken,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: born of original sin, needs to be brought down. If
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: it weren't for our system of government, we would have
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: more and those evil rich people wouldn't be as successful
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: as they are or something. Right, there's always a reason why. Yeah,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not rich because somebody else prevented me from success.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: That's that feeding that mentality.
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: Exactly, and that's part of that seductive language. Yeah, the
• 32:54
  Speaker 10: Democrats is I have choices that I've made in my
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: life that have either helped me get to where I
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: am or kept me from getting further. You can look
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: back on my decisions now, other people have had effect
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: on our life. Sure, but it doesn't mean I'm going
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: to intentionally destroy this country just to get back at them.
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: How stupid is that. That's that's cutting your nose off
• 33:15
  Speaker 10: despite your face. But they don't, they don't. They don't
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: say that. They say, oh, let's let's let's tax the
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: rich even more. All you're doing is hurting yourself. It's
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: like the whole union thing. Let's let's get these people
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: who own these businesses. All you're doing is hurting yourself.
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: If you're voting Democrat just because you have a problem
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: with the people that own the business, well, if you've
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: got a problem with them, to quit it. Don't work
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: for them. No, you don't want to quit because you
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: need the job.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: What job?
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: The job that these people have for you. It's it
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: makes no sense, it's ridiculous, stupid, but it is seductive.
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: So we got to keep telling people this is these
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: are lies. They're the crack they're trying to feed us.
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: Is doing nothing but bring us down, make matters worse.
• 33:57
  Speaker 14: There.
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: Like you said, there is no solutions in there. It's
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: just more of the same crap. Don't vote Democrat. Have
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: a great day, Brian.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Hopefully that message will come through before next fall. By
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: forty eight, if you have Karrooseite talk station and get
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of callers online if you do, if you
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: have Karoseee talk station, Happy Wednesday. Yeah, now, struggling with
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: that one this morning and inviting all the help I
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: can get this morning to sort of sort through the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: aftermath of what was I believe a pretty bad day
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: for the Republicans yesterday. Who's next, Joe Strekker? Is that Brian?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the show.
• 34:31
  Speaker 14: Hey, good morning, Brian.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: How are you.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I've been better?
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Obviously?
• 34:36
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I listen every morning. I'm working in town and
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: I'm always glad. I live in Claremont County.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I understand that all day long. Probably go
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: home this morning. My wife will again say we should
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: get the hell out of Hamilton County. She has said
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that previously.
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: Yes, sir, Yeah, I voted a little after four o'clock
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: yesterday and Peer Township and what there's four districts where
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: I vote. At one hundred and fifty three people that
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: voted at four o'clock in the afternoon.
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: Wow on my district. Yeah.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: And then what I looked at some results this.
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: Morning a police levy it passed luckily. Pierce Township police departments.
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: Thank you, you guys do a great job. What it
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: was like, sixteen hundred votes total, sixteen hundred people in
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: Pierce Township showed Upeah.
• 35:27
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it's it's sad.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: That is sad.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a reflection of the
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Milford voters. There was one thing that was reported from Milford,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Milford charter revisions, and I don't know what it was.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: It's an even split fifty yes, fifty no three votes each, Okay.
• 35:48
  Speaker 17: Good, all right.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you even interpret that one, Brian.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: But maybe that was the only thing on, so six
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: people from Milford decided to get up and go vote.
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: Oh, Brian, I think trying to understand the Democrats. The
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: problem is is we continue to try and use common
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: sense and logic and you can't do that.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I was as people try to, you know,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: analyze the city election, because again, all the incumbents got
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: re elected, the same across the board. But it was
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: this basically the same voter turnout a few more points
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: than expected. They expected twenty five twenty nine percent actually voted.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: But if you look at the prior elections, that's pretty
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: much what happens every single time. You know, it's the
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: same percent of people show up and you end up
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: with the same people on council or the same you know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Democrat candidates winning. So has there really been some something
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: profound that changed. No, it looks like status quo. So
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to the caller that thought that this is some sort
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: of you know, illegal immigrants, sanctuary city reality that has unfolded, O,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you can point to anything other
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: than if you just let things go, the same people
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: show up and they vote the same way. There isn't
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: one defining issue. You know, crime didn't drive people to
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the polls. It wasn't the roads that drove people to
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the polls. It was just some people vote and some
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: people don't. And when you have a city that's as
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: blue as Cincinnati looks like the Democrat voters are more
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: motivated to get off their butts and go cast and vote.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I can't come away with anything beyond that. Maybe I
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. That's why I'm asking folks
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: to call in like you, Brian. I appreciated, Dave and CJ.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry amount of time I really want to hear
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: hear from you. If you don't mind holding for a
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: few more minutes, we'll get back to you right after
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the top of the hour news. Please stick around.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Today's top headlines. Rc it took so.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Five five krc DE Talk station. Brian Thomas trying to
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: have a happy Wednesday. Listener to lunch is always happy
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: and strongly encourage in spite of the overwhelming loss and
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: so far as conservative politics are concerned, I encourage everybody
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to show up and drink a beer with me at
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Crane Brewery, Brett with location. They'll be there for listener
• 37:59

• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: How hates sound desperate, But I'm looking for answers, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: we all know what opinions are like, and everybody's got one,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: So give me your thoughts and comments about the aftermath day.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for holding over the break. CJ.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you'll be next. Welcome in the morning show.
• 38:18
  Speaker 15: Dave, Hey, Good morning, Brian. Here here's my opinion on
• 38:23
  Speaker 15: what's going on. I think the Democrats have been screaming
• 38:26
  Speaker 15: and crying for the past year now about how it's
• 38:30
  Speaker 15: the end of the world, we're going to lose our democracy.
• 38:33
  Speaker 9: And you got to get out and vote.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: That makes up for that four extra.
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: Four percent over what they thought was the twenty five
• 38:39
  Speaker 9: to twenty nine percent that showed up. It was all
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: them people who think the end of the world. If
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: Oh my opinion is if the Republicans could find a way.
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: But the only problem is I don't know how any solutions,
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: how how to get it through to people.
• 38:54
  Speaker 13: Man.
• 38:55
  Speaker 9: The importance that you've got to get out there and
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: vote and we'll have their most people that vote Republican
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: are more worried about whether Flaka is going to get
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: it together, whether long enough to get us.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Into the playoffs.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 39:09
  Speaker 15: They don't pay attention.
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: I mean no.
• 39:11
  Speaker 15: I called a couple of acquaintances of mine. They had
• 39:14
  Speaker 15: no clue there was an election going on that see that.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: That's part of the problem right there, because because Smithman,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: you know, lost, but he pointed out when he's going
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: door to order, peoplen't even know there was an election
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: coming up in the residents of the city. In so
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: far as that end of democracy messaging, I don't think
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: that's what drove the additional four percent of the residents
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: of the city to show up to the polls. I
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: think that additional four point gain in turnout may have
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: been the people that actually showed up and voted for
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, since he did get twenty two percent of
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the mayoral vote. Maybe it was some of the unhappy
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Hyde Park or Bond Hill residents or whatever, so you
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: can maybe give some of that credit to Corey Bowman.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: So but that could be.
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: But I'm just thinking it's I was thinking, I don't know.
• 39:56
  Speaker 9: I don't know the solution of how we can get
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: and it's up to the republic Party. I mean, they
• 40:01
  Speaker 9: really got to get us together to where we can
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: They've got to get on the ball.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I mean it's I can't do something, I guess, But
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: real quick, on that end democracy message to the extent
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: that is working, that threat that Donald Trump or the
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Republicans suggest is moving toward an end of democracy or
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: of the republic that we have whatever. If that messaging
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: actually is working, therein is a reflection of the just
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: the outrageous stupidity of people that that argument, that statement
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: is dumb, It makes no sense. There's no objective thing
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you can point to that says, oh my god, the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Republicans are against democracy or against representative government. Here's what
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: they did. And look, this is the collapse. Now Donald
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Trump has gone afield and done some you know, hyper
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: executive things, or at least push the boundaries of the
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: extent of the executive branch. But I don't think it
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: represents a threat to democracy. But what does I would
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: say that socialism is the threat to democracy. Zorhan Mandami
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: winning in New York with rent control and control this
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: and control that. If they're controlling you, they represent the
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: threat to democracy. The Dems run around and screaming point
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: figures at Republicans for doing all the things that they
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: are doing right in front of you. So if that works,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: that's just them working off the collective stupidity electorate.
• 41:27
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: It's like when they run around and call people fascists.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: If look at the definition of fascism, it's like, how
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: do they get away with it? Well, maybe people.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Are just dumb.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe people just don't know what the definition is. So
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: that's the challenge right there, waking people up and getting
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: them to wake up and listen and find out for
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: themselves and discover and realize who's lying to them, who's
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: peddling well nonsense. But if you're not paying attention, that
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: meme message is all you're going to get. And they
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: are a great about screaming it over and over again.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're the ones that woke up to the reality
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: that people are so collectively done politically that if they
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: just say the same thing over and over again, as
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: crazy as it may be, and it's factually inaccurate and
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: definitionally inaccurate as it may be, they know that message
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: is still going to get through because people aren't looking
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: behind the sound bite. Evil Orange Mellod.
• 42:25
  Speaker 9: They also got their cohorts with the mainstream the.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to observe. I think the mainstream media's
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: influence is waning a lot, so less influence there, but
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: certainly a unified message, and I don't know necessarily the
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Republicans have a unified message, not one that you can
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: roll up into a SoundBite. What they're doing, though, makes
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: sense when you walk through it. It's like the government shutdown.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, the idea that we are struggling over who's
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to blame for this is just another illustration of someone
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: not paying attention. I know who's to blame. It's the Democrats.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: They're the one that put the X inspiration date for
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: these tax credits in there. They're the ones that want
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to make Obamacare look like it's actually working by well
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: off roading premiums to the American taxpayer generally, to make
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: it look like this is free healthcare. It's not. It's
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: the farthest thing from it. But you know, they set
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: us up for this position. They're the ones that put
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the expiration date in there, and the Republicans are sticking
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: to it. This is their own work, and yet somehow
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: magically they can so flip that around and end up
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: blaming Republicans for it, and some people buy into that
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: that's collective stupidity. I don't know how else to sum
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: it up as poorly as I just sum that up.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Appreciate the call, Dame, Thanks man, CJ. Thank you so
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: much for holding Matt your next. CJ, welcome to the program.
• 43:44
  Speaker 18: Good morning, And it is always somber for the party
• 43:48
  Speaker 18: in power. The first Tuesday the year after the presidential election.
• 43:53
  Speaker 18: And you know, I remember McDonald and Virginia the year
• 43:58
  Speaker 18: after Obama won away. He wins by I think fifteen
• 44:02
  Speaker 18: points in Virginia. It's a part of the political process.
• 44:06
  Speaker 18: The problem I have with yesterday is this, people don't,
• 44:10
  Speaker 18: as you were saying, they don't only not pay attention
• 44:12
  Speaker 18: to if there's an election or not, they're not even
• 44:15
  Speaker 18: paying attention to who's running. How does a guy who
• 44:18
  Speaker 18: threatens to kill somebody, then threatens to kill children, is
• 44:23
  Speaker 18: caught driving one hundred and seventeen miles per hour on
• 44:26
  Speaker 18: the freeway which could kill people, and does a ton
• 44:30
  Speaker 18: of other things in text messages that is completely inappropriate,
• 44:34
  Speaker 18: How does he win?
• 44:35
  Speaker 14: That scares me far more than.
• 44:40
  Speaker 18: People forgetting that it's election day, because how can you
• 44:44
  Speaker 18: vote for that? Because that is complete irrationality. Mom, Donnie
• 44:48
  Speaker 18: winning in New York, I get it, but that is
• 44:50
  Speaker 18: also complete irrationality. And people have to realize you have
• 44:55
  Speaker 18: to work three hundred and sixty five days a year,
• 44:58
  Speaker 18: every day toolitically, or you're going to have what happens
• 45:02
  Speaker 18: last night and Donald Trump not being on the ballot
• 45:05
  Speaker 18: in people don't show up because Donald Trump's not there.
• 45:08
  Speaker 18: That is not an excuse because if you use that
• 45:10
  Speaker 18: as an excuse, not the biggest Trump fan, you just
• 45:13
  Speaker 18: made Donald Trump a laye duck and he has no
• 45:18
  Speaker 18: power left because nobody can trust his power to get people.
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: Out to vote.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Well, there's an element of that, but you know, just
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: a moment in time in our lifetimes, a moment in
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: time politically, Donald Trump's not going to be around anymore.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I just kind of wonder where the party is going
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: to go, but where both parties are going to go?
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: You know, the evil Orange Man disappears from the political landscape.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: What are the Democrats left with at this moment in
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: time right now? They don't seem to really have anything.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: That's my perception. But I keep going back to these
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: outcomes and keep going back to this messaging, messaging actually working.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: And the only conclusion I can reach is that people
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: just don't pay attention. They're not looking at like all
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: the things you pointed out about that Jake, the fact
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: that he did say all those things. Obviously it didn't
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: register either. People don't care that the man expressed violence
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: toward other people, including children. They think it's aoka because
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: he's their guy, So we're willing to forgive him for
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: his sins because he's our guy, and it's okay if
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: our guys are sinful, we can make fun of the
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: other team if they do something wrong. That's the way
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: my perception of Chicago politics always was. They knew they
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: were corrupt, but they embraced the corruption because it was
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Democrats corruption and we control the city and you're damn right,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: we're corrupt, but we're all enjoying the largest of our
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: own corruption. So maybe there's an element of that in there.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I just I go back to the fact that not
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: enough people pay attention to the realities of politics. Those
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: who do not study the mistakes of the past are
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: destined to repeat them. New York City, Welcome to the fun.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Just bring the flag out, last person out because I
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: can't see this going well. And someone asked me this morning,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: if you think P and G or fifth third, we'll
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: pull out of the city of Cincinnati, And you know, logically, reasonably,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: like some of the other businesses have left major metropolitan
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: areas because of the poor the way that they were run,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: or the deteriorating infrastructure or the crime problems, they pull out.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: They leave. You all have seen illustrations of this across
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: this great land from COVID forward. But no, I don't
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: think they will simply because I do believe they are
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: part of the Democrat leftist mentality team. It's their corruption
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: and they're going to enjoy it to their benefit. That's
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: my thought, Matt. Your next few to mind, hold in
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: just a moment. It's six point fifteen, and I do
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: get to mention Galaxy Concrete Coatings, because I think this
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: is an absolutely fantastic product, so much so that, of
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: course you may have heard me mention we've in front
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: number five one, three, seven, four nine to fifty five hundred,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talk contact fifty one eighty
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: T and T phone talker. Election results not much good
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: news if you can find any police, feel free to
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: give me a call, and I really appreciate the calls
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: this morning. I'm struggling, like most people to try to
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: figure out what in the hell's going on in this world.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Larry and Jeff hang on because Matt is next. Matt.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Thanks for holding over the break and welcome to the show, sir.
• 48:01
  Speaker 19: Good morning, Bryan. Uh, yes, the uh they can you
• 48:09
  Speaker 19: hear me?
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, go ahead and make your point, Matt.
• 48:13
  Speaker 19: The mayor the mayorial race was a blowout.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was.
• 48:18
  Speaker 20: What happens if that has happened across the country, you know,
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: the any other elections that the Democrats have a pretty
• 48:28
  Speaker 20: good weapon already needs against uh, the shutdown, and and
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: it's going to put a lot of pressure on Trump
• 48:35
  Speaker 20: I believe to uh get most of what, if not all,
• 48:39
  Speaker 20: of what they're demanding.
• 48:40
  Speaker 19: I'm afraid. I'm afraid that the believe he is just
• 48:43
  Speaker 19: beginning to start.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, and see that makes sense. The Democrats in Congress
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: are in you know, the Senate Democrats, keeping the government shutdown,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: working it to their benefit, bringing about hardship and pain
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people. And since people aren't really
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: kind of aware of how the setup showed up in
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: in terms of leading us to this shutdown. All the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: blame lands in the lapse of the Democrats. The pain
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: that they bring about by keeping the government shut down
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: does resonate. And so if you're not aware that the
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Democrats deserve all the blame for the pain and misery
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: that's been brought about. Look, their traffic's going to get
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: shut down, then you might want to cast a vote
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: for a Democrat, right. I mean that maybe gives Schumer
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: some credit for doing what we all thought was lunacy
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: in keeping the government shut down. Maybe that worked for
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: maybe in the political analysis of yesterday's vote, they'll point
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: to that and say, you know what, you got to
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: give the Democrats prob for bringing around the pain because
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: no one paid attention that they were to blame for it,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: but it worked to their advantage in the ballot box possibility. Absolutely.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Who's next? Joe Struker, Larry, Jeff hang On, Larry, Welcome
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: to the show. Thanks for calling this morning, Thanks for.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Having me, Brian.
• 49:48
  Speaker 16: As always, your show was very informative and I just
• 49:53
  Speaker 16: love the callers that you get.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I love the callers too, man,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: especially in a daylight today when I just feel like
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: I am out of my element.
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 50:02
  Speaker 16: Well, somebody made the comment earlier that you'll notice that
• 50:07
  Speaker 16: the conservative voters won't go out and burn cars and
• 50:10
  Speaker 16: disrupt traffic and so forth, and we won't. We'll learn
• 50:14
  Speaker 16: from this and one of the things that I think
• 50:17
  Speaker 16: Republican voters need to learn from these off year elections.
• 50:21
  Speaker 16: When voter turnout is so low, here's your opportunity you
• 50:26
  Speaker 16: really drive to change. I know, you know, and it's unbelievable.
• 50:30
  Speaker 16: I mean, what was it, twenty five percent turnout.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: In the city, roughly twenty nine percent. I think Hamilton
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: County was probably twenty five to twenty roughly there, but
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: in other counties maybe less. I think my friend from
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Claremont County said only twenty three percent of the folks
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: showed up to vote.
• 50:48
  Speaker 16: Yeah, so, you know, I don't really believe that fifty
• 50:52
  Speaker 16: percent of the voters in Cincinnati are are Republican. They
• 50:57
  Speaker 16: obviously aren't. But if every republic Can voter had turned out, yeah,
• 51:02
  Speaker 16: it would have been enough.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: This way, the difference, I agree, it's that's that is
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: almost like your point is exactly was rather the point
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: of any optimism I had for the election yesterday that
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: we all knew from the history that only twenty five
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: percent roughly we were going to show up, and that
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: that provided an opportunity for those who were pissed off
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: about the direction of the city to make it stand
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: the come on in the waters, fine, and your vote's
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: going to mean so much more. That's the only source
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: of my optimism yesterday. And of course that bubble got
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: burst when I woke up this morning, Larry. They didn't
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: show up.
• 51:35
  Speaker 16: And it's monogamous to to primary elections. You know, most
• 51:40
  Speaker 16: folks don't turn out for primary elections, and that's where
• 51:43
  Speaker 16: you really have the most leverage to really make your vote.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: It truly is I have the most impact.
• 51:48
  Speaker 16: So I just encouraged Republicans instead of you know, driving
• 51:55
  Speaker 16: in our beers and suffering from the from the depression. Here,
• 51:59
  Speaker 16: it's like there was a very powerful lesson here, and
• 52:02
  Speaker 16: if you just get out and get up and take
• 52:05
  Speaker 16: advantage of your constitutional rights here and vote when you can,
• 52:09
  Speaker 16: it would have been hit a different outcome, it would
• 52:11
  Speaker 16: have and I don't doubt the same would have been
• 52:13
  Speaker 16: true in New Jersey, Virginia, probably not New York City.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 52:19
  Speaker 16: If there's enough conservative voters anywhere in New York city'd
• 52:22
  Speaker 16: ever make a difference.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: But they did have in New York, they did have
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: a record turnout, So that's something to beld it. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: a couple of million or more. It's been It hasn't
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: had that much of a turnout, I think, even since
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: the last presidential election.
• 52:35
  Speaker 16: So well, they will get what they deserve.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: We won't we all and you get what we deserve
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: if you don't vote right, Larry, So your failure to
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: vote results in you getting the same old, same old, Larry.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: God bless you, sir for calling in this morning. Have
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: a wonderful day. And in speaking of drowning over beers,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: listener lunch I Green Brewery, Bretwood location today be there.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: You can watch me well, drink a beer or maybe two. Jeff,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I'll get your calling him Michigan. It's six point thirty
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: here at fifty five k r C DE talk station.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Both the election Wednesday, I know, and trying to struggle
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: through it. And I am really appreciated of all the
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: calls this morning. Corey and Hank, you hold on because
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Jeff was kind enough to hold over the break. Jeff
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: welcome to the Morning Showing. Thanks for calling.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Brian.
• 53:30
  Speaker 21: I've been worried sick about you. You just sound so depressed,
• 53:33
  Speaker 21: so I'm gonna.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Try and cheer you up.
• 53:35
  Speaker 21: Please do okay Down here in the beautiful Commonwealth of Kentucky,
• 53:40
  Speaker 21: where the grass is green as spring and the trees
• 53:44
  Speaker 21: are beautiful, we still have flowers blooming, airs clean. We
• 53:49
  Speaker 21: don't let drag queens play against my granddaughter or some
• 53:55
  Speaker 21: fruit nut wanting to play against my grandson. And y'all
• 54:01
  Speaker 21: just you know, your property value just went way up
• 54:05
  Speaker 21: if you live far enough from Cincinnata. So that's the
• 54:09
  Speaker 21: good news. I hope you're in that situation. Suck it
• 54:13
  Speaker 21: up and take it like a man. I hear you
• 54:15
  Speaker 21: have broad shoulders.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I made a comment Sporty Jeff about my wife I
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: think at one prior time, and they can't remember, when
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: said we need to get the hell out of Hamilton County,
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: and I had commented along those lines. I said, I'm
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: going to go home this morning, and my wife's gonna
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: say we need to sell our house and get out
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: of Hamilton County. She heard me say that, and she
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: mentioned Butler County. Maybe she'll have to add the Commonwealth
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: onto her list of potential destination lands. Appreciate your support
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: of the Commonwealth. Sir Corey, you're next. Thanks for calling
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: this morning, Corey.
• 54:46
  Speaker 22: Good morning.
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: Brian no I said this before.
• 54:49
  Speaker 8: But the average Democrat voter is this plan out stupid.
• 54:53
  Speaker 8: They don't pay attention. They have no idea what's going
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: on on. Thing they know is what's going on with
• 54:59
  Speaker 8: the Kardashian or something like that. That's the only thing
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: they care about. They don't most of them don't work.
• 55:05
  Speaker 17: They live off the government.
• 55:07
  Speaker 8: And when the Republicans come in and say, you know,
• 55:10
  Speaker 8: you got a man up, pull yourself up by your bootstraps,
• 55:13
  Speaker 8: they don't want to do that.
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: They're lazy.
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: They want to keep that government assistance going. And the
• 55:20
  Speaker 8: uh someone said earlier about the media being part of
• 55:23
  Speaker 8: the problem too, They absolutely are, because that that that
• 55:27
  Speaker 8: meme out there at front and that's the only thing
• 55:29
  Speaker 8: these people see and that's all they believe. They believe
• 55:32
  Speaker 8: it up and down, just like uh, the Trump and Charlotte,
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: you know, all all good people on both sides state
• 55:39
  Speaker 8: it's been proven it's false, but still the majority of
• 55:42
  Speaker 8: them believe it. And uh, a lot of it is
• 55:45
  Speaker 8: Republicans wok too, because sometimes they don't bring a lot
• 55:48
  Speaker 8: to the table. We have a lot of rhinos, especially
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: in Ohio, and I want to reinforce what we've been
• 55:55
  Speaker 8: saying for a while. Don't vote for Democrats and don't
• 55:58
  Speaker 8: vote for rhinos.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. And there's a lot of a lot of
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: accuracy and what you have to say there. And you're
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: not the first person to chime in on the failure
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: of the education system. And it's a well approximate connection
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: with the repub Democrats doing really well. Think about that,
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: because you know what scares the hell out of me.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: You know, prison always scares the hell to me, because
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: you know what, you have, no freedoms, no liberties, period
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: and a story you were depend upon every single human
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: being that runs the prison to feed you and care
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: for you and maybe keep you protected or not, as
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: the case may be. If you're dependent on some government program,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: you have to vote to continue it. I mean, what
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: would drive you to the polls? I mean, if you're
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: if the idea of eating depends on your vote, I
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: think that might get you off and send you to
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: the polls that day. If government doesn't impact you and
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: you have no connection with it. It does really truly
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: impact you, in spite of what you believe. But that
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: vote really isn't going to change your future necessarily, not
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: in the way taking away food or clothing or shelter
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: from you would impact. But if you had that profound
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: connection with the vote, which I believe every single person
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: should have that kind of connection with it, then you
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: show up and vote. Some people's lives sadly depend upon
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: the existence of a big, fat, bloated government, and that's
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: the problem that's led us to a thirty eight trillion
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: dollar hole in the ground on a national level. Anyhow,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: we got time for one more in this segment. Joe Strecker,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Is that Hank, Hank, Welcome to the show. I'm sorry
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I got confused. Several callers are online. Hank, You're next, welcome,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling.
• 57:37
  Speaker 23: Well, greetings, fellow carbon based life forms. I think I
• 57:40
  Speaker 23: have a little bit of a bright spot in all
• 57:43
  Speaker 23: the darkness here here up in NCCH. We elected Mary
• 57:48
  Speaker 23: Joe Zorb and Susie Weeth's Witlets back. I'm not sure
• 57:52
  Speaker 23: how to pronounce that. So we got a couple of
• 57:54
  Speaker 23: Republicans in the office here in Hamilton County anyway. But
• 58:00
  Speaker 23: what I wanted to say is I wanted to thank
• 58:04
  Speaker 23: half tab Pureval in the Cincinnati City Council for justifying
• 58:10
  Speaker 23: my decision thirty five years ago to not want to
• 58:13
  Speaker 23: live in the city of Cincinnati. And I also like
• 58:18
  Speaker 23: to take the task mister John that called in the
• 58:21
  Speaker 23: sixth the five o'clock hour. He was talking about illegal immigrats. Yeah,
• 58:30
  Speaker 23: and keep in mind, thirty five years ago, I saw
• 58:33
  Speaker 23: this stuff coming and didn't want any part of it.
• 58:36
  Speaker 23: And basically I blame a lot of it on the education,
• 58:40
  Speaker 23: the teachers' unions all that. I mean, our kids have
• 58:43
  Speaker 23: been't get well, not even kids now, but people have
• 58:46
  Speaker 23: been getting brainwashed for fifty years or better. I mean
• 58:49
  Speaker 23: it was even starting when I was a kid in school,
• 58:52
  Speaker 23: and that's going back plus fifty years. So at least
• 58:56
  Speaker 23: you got a little bit of a bright spot. I
• 59:00
  Speaker 23: want to go maybe put out my forty eight star
• 59:02
  Speaker 23: flag today because I'm kicking New York and California out
• 59:06
  Speaker 23: of the Union. And I'll probably see it listener lunch
• 59:10
  Speaker 23: because that's pretty close to my neighborhood.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Great, I'll look forward to it, Hank you and I'll
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: sit and enjoy a beer together or something. So I
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: hope we get a good turnout today in spite of
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: the yesterday's outcome. It's fun. I mean, you want to
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: try to put a better put a smile on your face.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: You want something positive in your world. Show up today
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: at the at the Brentwood brew House and for listener lunch.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: So anyhow, High Green Breweries, Brentwood location for lunch. Thanks
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: for the call of my fe Oh yeah, admit to
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: reeling from the aftermath of the election and in certainly
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: inviting your thoughts and opinions on the analysis post mortem,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: if I need to be so bold, Drew Pappas, hold on,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: I'm very anxious to hear from you, considering how disappointed
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I was and what's going on with Anderson Township. But
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, excuse me New Hampshire, Gary, You're first
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: in line. Thanks for calling back, and good to hear
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: from me today, sir.
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: It's good to hear from you, Brian. Fortunately, it's a
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: sad day for Cincinnati. I think this is a combination.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: I'm going to just repeat what everybody else said education system,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: but I'm going to throw another twist in on this.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: I think it's also the pressure of the family because
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: a lot of spiritual Christian values. I'm not saying you
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: have to be a Christian, but those Christian values aren't
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: valued anymore, and you're watching people take on to a
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: new value system. And this new value system has what
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: appeals to be from the socialist Communist Party because it's
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: almost a secularism because if you don't believe in a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: higher power of God, then you're going to believe into
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: the power of the state. And it's a natural manifest
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: station that you would want a strong, powerful state. And
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: this is totally contrary to our founding father's belief which
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: a lot of us older people were brought up. But yes,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: this is an absolute disaster and it's going to be
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 4: catastrophic for our children because this system never works. It
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: always fails, but they don't know that and they're not
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: being taught that. So if we remain as a country,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: and I'm no, I'm not talking in our lifetime, but
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: in our children's time, all this will catch up to
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: us that the barbarians will be at the We'll be
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: there in an attack won't take much, especially with modern
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: new warfare. We're talking drones, we're talking cyber attack, we're
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: talking electrical grid failures. Of course, we're even talking we're
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: even talking about China already meddling with small municipality water systems.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: And I think if you add you know, the banking system,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: all this can collapse relatively quickly, especially in the modern
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: age of warfare. And you know, I don't know if
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: we'll say it in our time, but you never know,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: we could.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Well, certainly all of those things are realities. I mean,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: no one can deny that. And that's why we have,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: you know, people looking out for us in terms of cybersecurity.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: And like sadly the Chinese Communist Party has been able
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: to infiltrate a lot of systems, and it really is concerning.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: That's certainly a challenge. And I think stepping back from
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: the lack of civic virtue values generally a belief in
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: a higher power beyond the state, if the and I
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: go back to my comments about the flag, I always
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: looked with you know, pride. The flag was that symbol
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: of freedom that we have that nobody else has. Yeah,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: you can be different politically than mean, we're all under
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: one flag. That should be unifying to us in the
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: absence of something unifying, in the absence of something that
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: makes you want to support and defend your country. When
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: one of these threats or a multitude of these threats it,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: you have to be ready and prepared to defend it. Question,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: are there enough people out there in the world that
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: would be willing to defend the United States of America
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: as a concept? And there are fewer and fewer people
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: that are. I mean, there have been statistics and reports
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: about like, for example, the European Union, would Germans put
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: a military uniform on if they were invaded by some
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: foreign power? And like fifty percent were like, screw it,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: it's not worth fighting over. You just roll over and
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: drop your pants. Basically, you have so little belief in
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: your country's system of government. I mean that day frightens me.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: But more and more we're running towards this idea that
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: America conceptually is not worth defending. That's what the left
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: is all about. Period. Someday you're gonna run out of
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: other people's money. Though, Drew pappas your next please hold
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: because I want to hear from well, my favorite Anderson
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Township resident six forty six Right now that you five KC.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: De talk stations get in touch with Emory Federal Credit Union.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: It's no longer Emory though, if share facts now, that's right,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: nine the Talk station six fifty fifty five Kercity Talk Station.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: You're right, Maureen, apathy is the enemy of democracy. Freedom
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: is not a spectator sport. Yeah, apathy, And we witnessed
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: apathy yesterday with a very small slice of the eligible
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: voting population casting votes. And what in the wide wide
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: world of sports is going on in Anderson Township where
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Josh Girth and Lexie Lawston came in third and fourth
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: out of four. Maybe he can answer that. Andrew Pappis,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling today, sir,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Hey Brian, good morning.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 24: I wish I could answer it like easily, but I
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 24: will tell you that my opinion what's been going on
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 24: out here and Anderson is we are a victim of
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 24: our own success.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 13: And what do I mean by that?
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 24: We have a lot of you know, Anderson has a
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 24: lot of new p people moving in and most of
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 24: them are coming from the city. You know, once you
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 24: once your millennials or your younger people have a child
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 24: or two, they start thinking about moving someplace maybe safer
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 24: with better schools other than the city. And I witnessed
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 24: that at the polls. I witnessed it with the candidates
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 24: on the other side that we're running and.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 13: You know, we have built a great community out here.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 24: And what happens is that Maureen is correct, there's a
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 24: malaise that takes place. You know, voting day we did fine,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 24: we won voting day, we couldn't overcome the early voting
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 24: deficit that we found ourselves in. And you know, two
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 24: really great trustees, Lexi and Josh fell short.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of you know, to be fair, the.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 24: Other side muddied the waters with a lot of uh,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 24: just flat out lies and misinformation. And you know, I've
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 24: I've been pondering myself, how do you respond to a lie?
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 24: You know, because if you repeat the lie, then you
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 24: just propagate the misconception. So but if you ignore the lie,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 24: you let it stand. You know, we the trustee form
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 24: of government is a very by design, a very weak
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 24: and fairly powerless form of governments, the least intrusive. But
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 24: the left was able to the left candidates were able
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 24: to spread that lie and then tie themselves. You know,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 24: maybe it's probably smartly they tied themselves to the misconception
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 24: that a park levee that the current trustees were against
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 24: the parks out here. You know, you put parks and
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 24: schools on the ballot. Most times they obviously pass. People,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 24: you know, vote with their heart sometimes and more than
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 24: their heads and more than their pocketbooks, and say, yes,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 24: parks are good, schools are good, you know, at all always,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 24: So let's.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 13: Let's vote those levees in most times, you know, most
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 13: times those levee passed. Yeah, So that's what happened out here.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 24: We have a lot of people that have I did
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 24: point out to one of the candidates yesterday. We had
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 24: a nice discourse, one of the Democrats running, and he said,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 24: you know, I said, I'm going in to vote. I said, no, disrespect,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 24: I'm not going to vote for He says, well, that's okay.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 24: I'll just I was going to protect your property values.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 24: And he said, and I didn't vote for you. I said, well,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 24: that's funny. By your own statement, you acknowledge that your
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 24: property values are such because of the job we in
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 24: part we did as a trustee establishing that. And he
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 24: paused for a moment and he said, you could see
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 24: the light kind of flickered and it went on and
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 24: he's like, oh yeah, by accident.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: So take your victories where you can, Drew.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 13: Look, it is what it is.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 24: I mean, we have a lot of people that don't
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 24: understand what made Anderson great. That the conservative leadership, the
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 24: conservative government we've had out.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 13: Here, a lot of a lot of flat out just
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 13: just lies that.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 24: Were said during the camp ain't about you know, uh
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 24: spending and you know, TIFFs. They didn't understand what a
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 24: tiff was where that money.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 13: Could be spent. So, you know, they took a populist
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 13: view and and and and ran with it.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 24: And sadly, I got to be honest with you, Marie,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 24: it's correct on a lot of this. You know, I
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 24: need to dig into the actual you know, the early
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 24: voting numbers were just such that they couldn't overcome it.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 13: And too many We've talked about you and I've talked
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 13: about this so many times, too.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 24: Many Republicans, you know, I've I've had several I've said,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 24: please vote early, please vote asite.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 13: Oh no, I like to vote on election day. That's
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 13: That's what I hear over and over and over. And
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 13: you know, what life happens.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 24: Things come up election day and you get busy and people,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 24: as has been pointed out, I can't tell you. I
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 24: had many people, Oh is there an election Tuesday?
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 13: What are we voting on? I'm like, are you kidding?
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 14: I know, are you serious?
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 24: So all those things combined with the natural effect of
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 24: postal you know, this this this term of election after presidentials,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 24: usually turnouts usually lower, the party in power usually loses.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 24: But I am, yeah, I'm I'm genuinely scratching my head.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 24: And I think that to be fair and not to
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 24: be alarmist in any way, shape or form. A lot
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 24: of people are questioning, you know. I've seen a lot
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 24: of people in Anderson as they saw the city encroaching,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 24: you know, the creep of liberalism from the city creeping
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 24: into Anderson.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 13: They're looking elsewhere, and they'll.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 5: Say, you know, where, where?
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Where?
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 13: Where should I you?
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 11: You?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 13: You mentioned yourself. A lot of people in Hamilton County
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 13: are looking elsewhere. You know.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 24: Given given the results of the the the judge ships
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 24: we lost, let me tell you something.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 13: More important than anything else.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 24: Uh, not to say, not to belittle what happened here
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 24: and Anderson, we lost a great too great judges here,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 24: Judge Josh Birkwood's losing that election is is is such
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 24: a such a a blow to the safety of Hamilton County.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 24: Need I remind you that most of the stuff coming
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 24: out of this Hamilton County with these decisions and and
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 24: and and and punishments, does the name Sammy Silverstein ring.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Ring a bell to you immediately comes to mind?
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 13: So listen, you're gonna folks. You know you you can
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 13: choose to sit quietly and think this isn't going to
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 13: make a difference in your life. You know, politics sucks,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 13: and it does. I got to be honest with you,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 13: it really does. It's it's a crazzy business.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 24: But at the end of the day, you got to
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 24: get involved because how many times people say, oh, this
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 24: doesn't affect me, Well, it does affect you, whether you
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 24: realize it or not. You might want to get involved,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 24: whether it's donating at a minimum, it's voting.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 13: But you just need to get involved and we'll see
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 13: what happens.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 24: Sadly, I had some people think, oh, Anderson needs it's
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 24: Joe Biden moment, so we can snap back stronger the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 24: next time and show people what happens. And I said,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 24: that's just a foolish foolish strategy, and I had some
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 24: Republicans have that attitude.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 13: So you know if you don't, if you don't our
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 13: Republican Party, I'll say this. Finally, the Republican.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 24: Party needs to understand that the purest tests that some
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 24: of them have is you're not Republican enough and I
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 24: can't support you. Ergo, I'm not going to work very
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 24: hard this election cycle. Need to change because I will
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 24: tell you to a person, I never see Democrats say
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 24: well that person's not liberal enough. You know, if you
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 24: if you take the Democrat slate, enforcement if you, they
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 24: they support you wholeheartedly.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 13: And the Republican Party still.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 24: Has many many people that say, well, Bill is not
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 24: Republican enough for me, So I'm going to just work
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 24: half hard of this election. You didn't nominate the perfect
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 24: slate for me, so I'm not going to do everything
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 24: for you or even one of our former ward chairs
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 24: went so far as to actively support the Democrats because
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 24: he was displeased with some of the selections made out here.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: Wow, and I tell you I stunning.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: I acknowledge, appreciate, and do not disagree with anything he
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: brought up today. Drew out a time though sadly got
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: a run. I appreciate you calling him this morning. Stick around.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: Jack Aviden is ready to rock and roll. We'll get
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: the big picture right after the news Today's top headlines
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: coming up seven oh six. Here at fifty five camerasd
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: talk station, trying in spite of reality, to make it
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: a very happy Friday and looking forward to listener and
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: lunch today. If you can make it, love to see
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: you there. I will be enjoying a beer, not drowning
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: my sorrows, but maybe High green Bery brent Brentwood location
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: is a place to be without further ado, It's that
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: time of the week when we are blessed by the
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: brilliance of Jack Aviden. It's time for the big picture.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Jack Atherdan, welcome back to the fifty five Ksey Morning Show.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: My friend, it's always a pleasure having you on.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 25: Thanks mel Well. We can sugar coat yesterday's elections, and
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 25: not because you and I are trying to get off
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 25: sugar locally and nationally. They were just the immediate bad
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 25: news is that Democrats will proclaim they have a mandate
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 25: and they will get even more adamant about standing up
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 25: to Republicans. So the government shutdown may be prolonged even further.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 25: Our pain equals their gain, especially when they're promising prebees
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 25: and Democrat judges right up to Supreme Court Justice Kataji
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 25: Brown Jackson. They may escalate law fare even more. In
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 25: other words, cats and dogs will not be sleeping together
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 25: anytime soon, Brian. But the good news is that Democrats
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 25: will have to live with the results of their woke
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 25: socialist softime crime policies, and that could set Republicans up
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 25: for the midterms next November if we actually show up
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 25: and vote. The best hope I can offer this morning
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 25: is that these elections in Cincinnati, New York City, Virginia,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 25: and New Jersey, which were dominated were respectively by Washington,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 25: DC and New York City. They were not about our
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 25: country as a whole. I think Trump won last year
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 25: decisively without these Democrat enclaims. But I think yesterday's elections
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 25: do reflect is the biggest political trend of the last
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 25: ten years. Cities versus country A little history. Cities used
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 25: to be a cross section of our country, each of them. Sure,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 25: you had partisan political machines, New York's Democrat Tammany Hall,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 25: Cincinnati's Republican Boss Cox, but these machines were less about
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 25: ideology than political patronage. They were machines. What every major
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 25: city used to have in common was a rich mix
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 25: of different kinds of citizens. Every city had its wealthy
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 25: elites and it's so called intellectual elites in media and universities,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 25: but up until about fifty years ago, also used to
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 25: have factories and factory workers. Smaller businesses catered to the
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 25: bigger ones in the same city. We had, for instance,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 25: small machine tool companies. I did a story about one
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 25: once when we were doing success stories how businesses got
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 25: started and why they thrive.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: We had.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 25: Businesses that made stationery for business and legal firms. Mike
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 25: Bloomberg's fortune in New York City was made that way.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 25: You probably used his forums in Chicago as I did
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 25: back in New York.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 25: So the presence of manufacturing meant that each city and
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 25: a host of others. Thriving businesses were inside those cities
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 25: and brought the people inside those cities. Butchers, tailors, candlestick makers,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 25: middle class families lived in cities, and so did millions
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 25: of legal immigrants aspiring to assimilate and join the capitalist
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 25: middle class. Because for most of our history You couldn't
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 25: arrive here and immediately demand welfare, free medical care, much
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 25: less a room at a New York City luxury hotel.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 25: Until now, American cities did not turn Marxists because the
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 25: most successful capitalists were investing in America. The turning point
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 25: was World War II. The boom that followed victory changed
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 25: the diverse character of America cities. Returning soldiers like my
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 25: father took advantage of the GI Bill and either went
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 25: to college or sought government funded technical training. They got
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 25: married and moved to the new suburbs, seeking schools controlled
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 25: by parents, public safety, affordable home ownership. So who was
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 25: left in the cities elites, especially financial elites, who increasingly
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 25: made their fortunes by investing not in their own cities
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 25: the way Henry Ford and Andrew Carnegie did, and not
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 25: even investing in other parts of America. As we've discussed,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 25: the new multinational elites moved their factories and their investments overseas.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 25: Those elites would sooner invest in a communist Chinese factory
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 25: that paid starvation wages than a more expensive and more
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 25: heavily regulated factory in America. You can't altogether blame them.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 25: That's why so many rich New Yorkers who have not
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 25: yet left have turned a blind eye to their city's
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 25: financial crisis. Big banks and financial firms like Goldman, Sax
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 25: and black Rock they were really headquartered in Beijing. Democrats
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 25: and establishment Republicans passed so called free trade deals that
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 25: let China steal our intellectual property, unilaterally tariff American manufacturers,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 25: and even banned many American products from being sold not
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 25: only in communists China, but also in our allies countries
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 25: in the EU, Japan, even Canada. Democrats like Nancy Pelosi
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 25: and the Bidens made millions of America's decline. They retained
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 25: power by paying off the poor in our cities, including
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 25: tens of millions of illegal immigrants. They aimed to increase
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 25: dependence on government by hooking more voters on food stamps,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 25: subsidized housing, free medical care, which is what this federal
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 25: shutdown is all about. Were New York already on the
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 25: brink of bankruptcy, Zoran Mandani extols what he calls the
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 25: dignity of handouts for victim groups. That's what socialism is
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 25: all about. Donald Trump began changing all of this in
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 25: twenty sixteen. He transformed the grand old establishment party into
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 25: a populist mega party that boosted not investors in foreign countries,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 25: but America's own private sector and growing middle class. Trump
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 25: and local Republicans are now facing tremendous opposition, not only
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 25: from multinational elites, but also from Democrats who've been allowed
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 25: to hijack schools and brainwash students. Not in the last
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 25: five years, not in the last ten years, since the
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 25: nineteen sixties. We have discussed this too, students who moved
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 25: on to fake journalism, Hollywood wokeness, and, as we discussed
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 25: just last week, pop music that by and large does
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 25: not celebrate or even tolerate traditional American values. Folks, maybe
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 25: I'm nuts, but I believe we can retain and even expand.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 25: Our majorities in Congress are very slim majorities, and the
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 25: state capitals. Next year, Trump's big, beautiful tax cuts and
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 25: other stimulus measures will have kicked in by them the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 25: way the Reagan ones did, and our already growing economy
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 25: should so. Thanks to Trump, most of the world, even
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 25: the Middle East, is now committed to peace. And Yes,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 25: our country will have seen and felt the failures of Marxism,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 25: but we haven't become Marxist. From New York, Chicago and
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 25: La too. I'm sorry right here in Cincinnati, perhaps we
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 25: have Hamilton County can't believe what's happened. It's why Amesley
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 25: and I. It's one reason we moved to Butler County
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 25: a dozen years ago, and I've been urging here to
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 25: come with it.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: I know my wife maybe chimed in this morning, Jack
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: and said we need to start looking at Butler. He
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: named Butler County specifically. Maybe it's because he you and Amesley,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 25: Immediately we have room in our house. There you go,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 25: and from the left wing New York suburbs in New
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 25: Jersey to the Washington D C. Suburbs in Virginia, you've
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 25: lost those states. But we can't wait. We must immediately
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 25: recruit and support candidates who are not only principled, but
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 25: who can win with our help. I believe, as Charlie
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 25: that America is at a turning point. If even on
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 25: bad days, and thanks to commentators like you, Brian, we
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 25: stay optimistic and win over hearts and minds one by
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 25: one and then kick keyasters so that our side gets
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 25: out and actually votes. It's shameful what happened, Amesley and
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 25: I you know, we're working the polls yesterday and the
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 25: low turnout and most of the people who were turning
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 25: out were not agreeing with us.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a sad thing. But let's unpackage this whole
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: reality of going on. The cities. It used to be
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: as you historically explained, and the suburbs were created in
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: the aftermath of World War Two. A lot of people
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: moved out of the city searching for maybe a better life.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe they just wanted a yard, maybe get away from crime.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's the reality of what happened.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: And of course there's this been this big push by
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: the woke left and the global warming folks to get
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: people to move into these concentrated, packed cities, all this
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: plan development. I can't see people embracing that. Of course,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: if there was a great idea, they would have embraced it.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: But free isn't free. I think New York's going to
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: be an illustration of this. You're talking about the elites
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: that are still in New York. Do you think they're
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: going to stay if they're facing with a massive tax
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: increase and all these free programs that literally are not free.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: There's only so much money that's going around. And unless
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: all many capitulates and agrees to Mandami's weird tax proposals,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: which I think will drive more people away, they're going
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: to run out of other people's moneys and it's going
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: to collapse down on itself. What is going to be
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: the end result of all of this as we see
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: the cities go completely blue with I would say, seemingly
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: no ability to transform themselves or make themselves more palatable
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: to folks like you and I who might otherwise enjoy
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: living in an urban environment. We just don't like to
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: be settled with the crime, the politics, the infrastructure problems,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: and everything else that these leftist policies create.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 25: Jack, some people have already even fleeing from the city.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 25: Oh yeah, they've gone to the suburbs, and they're trying
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 25: to turn the suburbs as blue as they were back
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 25: in New York. They think somehow that the conditions that
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 25: they're fleeing from won't follow them if they vote the
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 25: same way they do. But you know, New York City
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 25: actually had a pretty big turnout, as you mentioned earlier
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 25: in the show, And I know some of the people
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 25: who voted for the first time they are young, people.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 25: They are brainwashed and they're just you know, reality hasn't
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 25: kicked in. And the same people who are relying on
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 25: those votes are now calling for sixteen year olds to
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 25: be able to vote because they know the kids are idiots,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 25: and it's you know, I'm sorry to insult some people
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 25: I know very well, but it's just impossible to try
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 25: to talk with them about this. As far as New
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 25: York goes, Kathy Hochel, the governor, the Democrat governor, is
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 25: up for reelection next year. She's going to be facing
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 25: more than likely at least Stefanic. You remember that she
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 25: was a congress person and then Trump wanted her in
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 25: the UN. And I'm glad she didn't go there, because
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 25: why should anybody go to the UN, even tourists. But
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 25: that's going to be an interesting race because Hokle Mayfield,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 25: if mom Donnie hasn't actually blown up the city by
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 25: next November, that she has to try to get those
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 25: young voters who came out in such big numbers for him,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 25: or she may feel so many Democrats too, that they're
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 25: going to be opposing as a phony moderate. There's nothing
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 25: very moderate about Kathy Hochel, but every Democrat seems moderate
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 25: compared with Mandani, Right, So you know, even these new
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 25: governors in New Jersey and Virginia, you know they seem reasonable, right.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: To compare them with us, Well, that was something not
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: just the Wall Street grovel. Others have observed that, you know,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: no shock, Virginia, New Jersey went with the Democrat governors,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: but they were rather centrist folks when you compare them
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: to Mondami or AOC. So it is is it because
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: of that centrists realistic position that they came across with
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: that they won or is Mondami the new wave and
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: the new the future for the Democrat Party? I mean,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Party's got its own challenges figuring out which
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: direction they want to go. So in the aftermath of
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: yesterday where the Democrats did pretty damn well across the
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: country and the elections that were going on, does this
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: mean they shift further left or do they take the
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: queue from Virginia, New Jersey and start running some more
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: palatable centrist candidates. Which where do you see it going?
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 25: Well, this is why I wanted to talk about cities
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 25: versus the rest of the country. And of course, if
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 25: you look at that famous map that Donald Trump loves
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 25: so much that shows read everywhere except for the bigger cities,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 25: including almost all of our Ohio cities, not just Cincinnati.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 25: Then you see how you can tilt the election electorally.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 25: It doesn't reflect the way many people feel. In the
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 25: last election, you know, Trump on the popular vote, so
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 25: it's how most people feel. But that concentration of Democrats
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 25: can give you an election, especially with the jerrymanderin that's
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 25: not going on now. In fairness, Texas, you know said
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 25: we're going to go out there and Jerrymander and we're
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 25: going to pick up some Republican seats. And now California
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 25: is going to do the same thing in spades. And
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 25: we're seeing more and more states doing that, and that
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 25: leads for better or for worse. And I think the
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 25: long run it could be for worse because again, that
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 25: was the point of that history that we used to
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 25: have diverse people living side by side. But we're going
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 25: to have more and more polarization. I don't think there's
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 25: any getting away from it. We just have to win
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 25: that debate.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess he needs to get bad enough to
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: get people off their butts, because if only one out
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: of four people show up to steer the direction of
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: a city or a state or country. Then you got
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: to make what is.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 25: That going to take. Brian, I honestly have no ideas
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 25: about that, and I've been looking.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: Through history catastrophe.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 25: I mean, even then you tend to go left.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: Well perhaps, but if government has failed you and you're
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: dependent upon government, and you do run out of other
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: people's money, which is inevitable, it always happens. Look at
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: your history. You know your history better than anybody else.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: Then that that concept fails on its own merits, and
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: you have to come out of the other side, like
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: phoenix rising from the ashes, with some different direction. Because
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: of course you can look back on the epic failure
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: that was the socialism that you relied on to put
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: food on your plate.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 25: Establishment Republicans, we always have to admit this, were largely
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 25: responsible for the nineteen twenty nine crash, and of course
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 25: that brought us FDR and a continuation of the socialism
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 25: that was starting under Woodrow Wilson. But of course FDR
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 25: really gave us full blown socialism, and he fought the
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 25: Supreme Court to make sure that he could keep it
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 25: in place. Look at Germany. Germany went through a hyper inflation,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 25: God willing, we'll never see, you know, the wheelbarrows filled
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 25: with money worthless currency, so that you could buy a
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 25: loaf of bread that was going to be ten times
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 25: more expensive at lunchtime. But the Germans, you know, we
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 25: think of Hitler as being right wing. He ran as
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 25: a socialist, ye, and that's what people were expecting. That's
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 25: what it's called the National Socialist Party. And the same
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 25: thing's happened in a whole slew of other countries. We
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 25: could talk about, you know, for the last thousand years.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 25: So you know, the problem with this gets us back
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 25: to the shutdown. Chuck Schumer and the others are betting
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 25: that even if they caused the pain, and you you
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 25: convince somebody that they cause the pain when somebody really
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 25: can't afford the next trip to Kroger's. Yeah, they're going
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 25: to go to the party that says we're going to
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 25: give you something free, which is on mom Donnie's government
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 25: grocery store.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: The fulfillment of what they have been desiring, you know,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: dependence on government equals votes for their status quo and
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: their ongoing socialist policies. Oh, jack Ada, and I dearly
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: appreciate you so much, especially on a day like today
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: when I'm just struggling to put my thoughts together. You
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: always do such a wonderful job, and I'm blessed, and
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: I know my listeners are blessed to have you on
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: the show every week.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 25: And I'll see you're making up your bed up here
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 25: right now.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: See it. Butler County, jack Yah, looking for help all
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: morning to sort of figure out what exactly yesterday man
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: for not just the city of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Butler County,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: Warren County, the regular surrounding counties, state of Ohio. Of course,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: you got Virginia, New Jersey and crazy, crazy crazy Zorhan Mandani,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: the next mayor of New York City. That's really mind
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: blowing to me. Never thought i'd see a day in
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: my life that a proud, self labeled socialist could even
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: get elected in this country. That's how far we've gone.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: I look at my wife and it's just it's so
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: dramatically different than it was when I was a young person,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: when you could call someone a communist, then people would
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: cower it. It's like, I'm not a communist now, it's
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: like a badge of pride. Anyhow. Five one, three, seven,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: talk toun five fifty on eighteen defense, of course, the
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: big news locally with local stories in front of me.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: I have Tab Purvo and the same council members that
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: you well had seated before. All the incumbents won, and
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: the only new addition is Ryan James. And honestly don't
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: know anything about Ryan James, but congratulations Ryan, your council
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: member number nine. Right behind Ryan James, Liz Keating coming
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: at number ten and breaking my heart. One of the
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: hardest things for me to swallow this morning is Christopher Smitheman,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: right after Liz Keaton coming in at number eleven. God
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: bless you, Christopher. I do not understand, and I don't
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: understand how so few people showed up I coming in
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: at like twenty eight percent of the city's residents actually
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: cast a vote. That's that's painful to behold. And after
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: all of that, what we've gone through, and it was
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Kevin Aldridge, an op ed opinion writer.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: Since I inquire, he pointed out, over the past six months,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: Parval seemed intent on making his own job harder. He
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: mishandled the Hyde Park Square redevelopment. Violent incidents downtown and
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: in and over the Rhine reignited fears about crime City's
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: investigation to police Chief Trease that THIJI raised more questions
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: than it answered, and the infamous brawl at Fourth and
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: L made Cincinnati a national meme for all the wrong reasons. Yeah,
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: all that any people vote for the same thing now,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: he suggested, it's Corey Bowman was not ready for prime time.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: And maybe there's some substance of that lack of experience.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: For example, we've elected people without experience previously. But he said,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: per of all, shouldn't make a make mistake this landslide
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: for a love letter. He so that many Cincinnatians voted
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: for him the same way people reach for aspirin. Not
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: because they want to, he write, but because it's the
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: least painful option. And somebody wrote a question mark after that,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: because is it the least painful option? It's the b
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: words you know versus the ones you don't, he said,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: growing unease about how this administrator administration operates. An obsession
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: with optics, a focus on the press, conferences more than
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: public policy, A photo op over the follow through par
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: of all critics, even some allies, see a man who
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: loves the idea of being mayor more than he loves
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: the grind of governing. Yeah, we've been talking about that
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: for well years here in the Morning Show and other
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: people as well. He says that the city is hungry
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: for substance. The city is growing, but unevenly the public
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: once results safer neighborhoods, real affordable housing, competent leadership in
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: city hall. He says, So, yes, Mayor, I have to
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: have pur Ball's earned the right to take his victory left,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: but he'd be wise to treat it as a cautionary one.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: He said. Cincinnatians gave him another term not because they're
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: thrilled with his performance, because the alternative was unthinkable. The
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: best thing he can do with his new mandate is
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: to stop worrying about his image and start worrying about
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: his impact. If he listens more than he talks, mister
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: Aldridge wrote, learns from the past six months all the
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: aforementioned goofs and blunders, and surrounds himself with people who
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: challenge rather than flatter him, he still has a chance
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: to grow into the kind of leader that Cincinnati needs well.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: I chuckled at that statement and no criticism Kevin Aldridge.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: But the voters surrounded have to have purvall with the
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: same people who flatter him, this same council members, with
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: the exception of the one new one, all the yes
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: men and women that surround to have to have pearl ball.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: So I don't think we can expect a whole lot
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: of change going on. We will see popcorn is out.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: Who's next? Joe Strucker? That will be Uh, looks like Jay, Oh,
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: it's a break. I'm well, I have at thirty seconds,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: I usually go Joe saying no, Jay, and Joe and
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: the others calling in right now start calls right after
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: these brief words, beginning with twenty two to three Station
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: seven nine post election Wednesday, dealing with the aftermath and
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: trying to sort it out, and God bless each and
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: ever want to be for calling in today. Got quite
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: a few callers online, and I thank Jay for holding
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: over the break. You're first out of the gate, Jay,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: as promised. Thanks for holding.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Brian.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 7: Hey.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 26: I'm a believer in given credit where credit is due,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 26: so I just want to give a hearty thank you
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 26: to Central Committee of the Republican Party of Ohio, the
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 26: master strategist, the cocktail and dinner crowd up there.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 6: You know, they are the people, the.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 26: Smart ones out of all of us, who make sure
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 26: that elections like this go up with stunning victory. So
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 26: and you know the wine is in the governor mansion
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 26: that has their fingerprints on it. So once again, thank
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 26: you Central Committee. You guys are awesome. And the second
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 26: point is that I went down through the list. I've
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 26: live up in Warren County and I was taking a
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 26: look at the school levees and fire levees. Overwhelmingly support
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 26: and people voted yes. And I have to ask the
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 26: people that are voting yes for all these levees, are
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 26: you the same people that are going to vote no
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 26: to you know you're going to be on the side
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 26: of eliminating property tax? Do you understand how this works?
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 26: And I am with Springboro Public Schools. That place looks
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 26: like a college campus with a college level football stadium,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 26: a practice field, soccer stadium. It is unbelievable the amount
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 26: of money that they have and they just got another
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 26: I think fifteen million dollars. It's going to be spread
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 26: out over thirty five years and it was sixty six
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 26: percent four and like thirty three percent against police. Levy
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 26: went and you know another, last time I saw an
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 26: old police cruiser or an old fire truck. Where I'm at,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 26: all I see are taj Mahal fire stations that look
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 26: like look like a ten million dollars country club at
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 26: a high end golf course with a conference center in it. Republicans,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 26: you got to wake up because there had to be
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 26: a lot of Republicans to vote yes on school.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 6: And on fire and on police.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 26: You just keep wanting more of everything, and then we'd
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 26: bitch about how much.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 5: Our property taxes are.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's and so you know, I will.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 26: Continue the mantra of don't vote Democrat, don't vote Rhino,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 26: and Central Committee? What are they doing for us?
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: Have a good day, Brian, I appreciate it.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 13: Jay.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was actually expecting a different outcome on a
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: lot of those levies as well, because of the insane
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: level of property taxes that are facing out. Why would
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: you vote for more? But it says schools, it says parks, boy,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: and everybody knows that pulls at your heartstrings, and everybody
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: ends up voting for him. Mike, you're next, Thanks for
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: calling this morning. Welcome to the show.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 6: Hey, Brian, you sir?
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: Are you there, Yes, sir, you're on.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: Oh I'm sorry, I'm on my car.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 14: Forgive me.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to call about the Mundamie thing everybody
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 6: keeps talking about. Now they have a quote communist socialist
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 6: in New York. It's actually worse than that. First of all,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: he cannot be a communist, even though he ran on that,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 6: because he knew people believe it or not, would accept
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 6: that he's an Islamist. And that's worse. Islamists cannot be communists. Okay,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 6: so just everybody knows, I know, that's what he ran on.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 6: But he's also he can't be a communist. So what
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 6: you got is a wolf in sheets clothing and New
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 6: York after nine to eleven, has just voted in an
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 6: Islamist mayor.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: And someone who wouldn't even criticize Hamas after the murders
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: of October seventh. I mean, there is such a profoundly
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: huge Jewish population New York. I mean, that's just mind bobbing.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: Although the turnout was massive, so I am certain that
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: probably every Jewish person in the city of New York
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: who is able to vote voted, whether or not they
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: voted for mom DOMI or not. He has a disdain
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: for the Jewish people, profound disdainment. He is anti Semitic.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: He's on record he belongs to all these anti Semitic organizations.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: I mean they voted for that, eyes wide open.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: And very He's the Islamist, is what I'm getting at.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 6: I think people have missed it. They keep going communist communists,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 6: and I'm going, Nope, he can't be.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll be the first person to admit I am
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: not a theologian for any particular religion, so I'm not
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: familiar with the fundamental tenets of Islam to know whether
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: or not they can embrace any particular political philosophy. So
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 1: I'll take you at your word on that.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 14: Quickly.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 6: They can't, okay that the communist philosophies are an antithesis
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 6: to Islam, and that's why anyway, But thank you. I
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 6: just wanted to make that point, Brian.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: That's what the morning show is all about. Who's next? Joe,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: Jack a, Rick, Joe hang on Rick's neck? Rick, thanks
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: for calling this morning.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 27: Yeah, I can't believe that Chris Smitherman got the votes
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 27: that he got, It just doesn't It doesn't make any
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 27: sense to me because a whole lot of people he's
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 27: been for a long time on your radio station every
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 27: Monday morning, a lot of white people supported him, and
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 27: he had such name recognition in the black community. It
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 27: just seems to me that he should go ahead and
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 27: file for a hand count, hand count to paper ballots.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 27: I don't trust computers. I just seen where Amazon here
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 27: a few weeks last week was hacked into because they
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 27: probably are the best firewall in the world, and yet
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 27: they were able to people were able to break through that.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 27: And I don't trust machines, which are the Italian machines.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 27: Was count all our votes that are made in China?
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 27: I don't trust them. I don't believe that he got
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 27: that many votes. It can't be that hard to handcount
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 27: whatever it is, forty thousand paper ballots and make sure
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 27: that they line up with what the computer tells us
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 27: who won. I just don't trust these computers anymore. They're
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 27: easily hacked, and there's just gotta be some way that
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 27: somebody hacked into this. It's just impossible that he lost
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 27: like that.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: I've seen quite a few people comment online along the
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: same lines. I am not a position to know one
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: way or the other. I am just it's standing in
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: awe and disbelief that Christopher didn't get elected. But remember
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: he wasn't on the blue slip, and people mindlessly grab
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: that blue piece of paper and end up doing the
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: same damn thing they do over and over again and again.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: When you don't have more than four one out of
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: four people showing up to vote, I'm not sure that
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: you need to rig the election. Listen, anybody who's dependent
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: on government's going to come out and vote because they're
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: well lives, I guess, depend on some government program. And
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: all the non government organizations that are funded by city
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: government here in the city of Cincinnati, their lives and
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: their jobs depend upon keeping the same administration. So those
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: are dependent organizations on big government and government handouts. So
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: this is too. Then you get the Teachers' union. Their
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: jobs and their livelihood all depend on some left wing
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: largest of money being thrown at the Cincinni public schools.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: They're all going to come out and vote for the
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: same slate of candidates. So you get those really big
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: groups of people organized, well communicated well connected, they show
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: up and vote. Where's the other seventy five percent of
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: the electorate checked out? Didn't know this an election, they
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: weren't on the email list. I don't know if there's
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: a problem with the Republican Party or independent organization, or
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: even just some group out there that is against the
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: status quo. They're not coordinated and apparently they don't care
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: enough to think that their vote matters are I'm mistical
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 1: going to kind of been a loss. Joe, you're next,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: but I'm sorry, I'm out of time. It's seven forty six,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: seven fifty one. If if you five KERCD talk station,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: going to go straight to the phones. Thank you Joe
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: for holding over the break. Welcome to the program. It's
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: good to hear from you this morning.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 28: Hey morning, Brian, Brian, can you help me understand the
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 28: difference between socialism, communism, and Marxism.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: Well, Marxism is a political philosophy that hold from each
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: cordny's ability to each court is of need. It's called
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: Marxism because of course it king's from Carl Marx, but
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: it really is fundamentally communism. So communism is where there
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: is no private ownership of anything. The means of production,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: that manufacturing, everything is run and owned. Underscore the word
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: owned by government, you are effectively literally working for the government.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: And a communist philosophy, no one has anything more than
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: any anyone else, which is a revealing of the lie
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: that is communism, because any place that's calls itself communists,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: there are elites that live lives of luxury and lavish surroundings,
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: not like the average run of the mill breadline in
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: the communist country. Socialism is control the means of production,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: state ownership in many cases, but it's kind of like
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: a quasi fascist thing where all the terms of your lives,
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: the conditions, the rules are dictated and mandated by government.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: So like in fascism or in some cases socialism, where
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: have you own your own company, you don't get the
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: right to control how it's run. The government tells you
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: how to run it. So obviously top down control of
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: stuff and things to different degrees, that's about as good
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: as I can do in that short period of time.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: But ownership and control of the means of production is
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: usually what it boils down to. Communism is again in
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: a purest form, it's a religion, it's collective ownership. It's
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: collective work. Everyone works in the commune. You're all supposed
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: to participate to the level you're able to. See Bernie
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: Sanders for a guy who lived on a commune and
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: basically got kicked out because he refused to do any work.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: That's usually what happens. When you see what happens to communes,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: they're a reflection of what it actually happens in society
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: when it's unrolled. You got your handful of people that
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: bust their hump in the name of this religion and
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: this working together and sharing the earth, and then a
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of people who just sit around and contemplate
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: their navel like Karl Marx did in the bars over
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: in Germany, and spew political philosophy, but don't lift a
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: finger to help cook or grow food or anything else.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: That's the collapse. That's always what happens, because no one
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: is willing to lift an extra finger, do extra work
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: because they're not going to get rewarded for it. That's
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: all I can do for you there on that one.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: Hope I'm close enough. Cribbage, Mike, I understand you're not
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: going to be at listener lunch today. My submarine or friend.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 5: Breaks my heart.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 29: Breaks my heart, Brian, but I understand that, actually I
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 29: think a good game of cribbage might uplift both of
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 29: our spirits.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: On a day today.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I'm stung a little bit
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: more by what you're by your not being at at
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: the Brentwood brew House this afternoon for lunch. But we'll
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: do it again next month.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 29: Absolutely absolutely hate Before I get to my and I'd
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 29: like to give a huge shout out to my team.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 29: At twelve yesterday out here in Claremont County, we had
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 29: another fabulous fifteen hours serve in the public and we
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 29: actually had one eighteen year old voter. And I tell you,
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 29: we always make a big to do about that, you know,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 29: better than any restaurant does for any birthday. So we
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 29: always say that, you know, hopefully we'll see you back
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 29: here many many more times. But based on yesterday, you know.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 29: And I'd like to use a sports analogy if I could, Brian,
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 29: of our beloved Cincinnati Bengals. You know, the way that
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 29: they lost the last two weeks, you know, and then
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 29: you know, because the defense won't even talk to them,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 29: or defensive coach where we know, that's where all the
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 29: fault is. You know, they go to the offense basically,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 29: and then so many words, why didn't we win the game?
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 29: Why did we win the game? We scored forty two points,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 29: you know, And the same thing here. You know, I
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 29: hear in all the callers voices, but especially Westside, Jim
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 29: and Andrew and even yourself in me today, I just
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 29: you're perplexed. Everything was right here in front of us.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 29: So it doesn't matter what didn't we do, right, I'd
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 29: like to stick them microphone. And that's seventy five percent
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 29: of the electorate. That and that once again, that's just
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 29: the registered electorate. You know, we know it's always a
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 29: bigger number that people aren't even registered to vote. Good point,
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 29: you know, stick a microphone in their face, you know,
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 29: because once again, you know, and I talked to some
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 29: of the old timers here out during the Board of Elections,
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 29: you know that when we had election day, not election month,
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 29: not no excuse absentee vote applications, you know, and yet
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 29: we still can only get twenty five percent of the people.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 29: And in this election out here in our little deck
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 29: of the woods, there were there were three issues that
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 29: are once again going to increase. Well one maintain which
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 29: was as westside Jim appleypot. You know when you see
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 29: those signs, your taxes won't go up, Yes, because that
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 29: a levee was expected to expire. So my taxes will
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 29: go down if I vote know at all three? All
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 29: three passed, And God bless our peers, Township, Police and
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 29: Fire because as this community grows, that's the one that
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 29: is not really a hard spot because they do need
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 29: more resources.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: But once again, when you look what.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 29: Happen in Hamilton County, when you look what happened in
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 29: downtown Cincinnati, when you look what happened nationally, it's just
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 29: it's right there in front of you, people, get off
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 29: your butts, go out.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 5: Next year may hopefully still wake up call.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: One can only pray that that is the silver lining
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: in this dark cloud we seem to be facing right now.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: Wake the hell up and make your voice heard by
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: going to the polls. You have no one to blame
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: for your but yourself, for the direction of this city
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: or county or country is going cribbage. Mike, God bless you, sir,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your service to our country. And I'll
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: look forward to our crivage game. Last listener lunch December first,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: Wednesday will be at Price sal Chili. So today I
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: hope you can make it the High Grain Breweries Brentwood
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: location for a listener lunch where you will find me
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: with a beer by here at fifty bout KRC detalk station.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: Still trying to unpack what happened yesterday, staring in disbelief,
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: most notably the Sinsini City Council election, where you get
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: the exact same thing again, sadly without the benefit of
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: Christopher Smithman. So bummed that it's one of the most
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: difficult things to have to behold this morning when I
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: was looking at the election results that Christopher didn't come
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: out even close to on top. Christopher Smithman, my dear friend,
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: my brother. Welcome to the Morning Show, and I appreciate
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: your willingness to call in today, and I want to
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: apologize to you. I mean, you're on the program every week.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: I do everything I can to try to help you out,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: and I hope that your presence on my program didn't
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: have any impact on the outcome of the election.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 14: Sir, well, first, let me say thank you for giving
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 14: me a voice and an opportunity to reflect on last
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 14: night's results. I really want to just start with conceding
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 14: the election.
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 2: So I didn't win.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 14: I think it's important for all of those citizens who
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 14: voted for me, who were out knocking on doors and
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 14: doing all the things that they could do for our
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 14: campaign to win. For the good of the city. It's
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 14: important that you know at the end of election, whether
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 14: you win or you lose, that you always do it
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 14: with class. And so this is my public statement with
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 14: you a friend on the station that I come on
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 14: every Monday at seven twenty to come back, concede the election,
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 14: and then talk about the future. So the results are
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 14: not what I've wanted them to be, and anytime you
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 14: don't win, it's difficult, but you've got to move forward.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 14: And what I will also say is that you know,
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 14: elections have consequences, and I'm betting on you know, I'm
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 14: betting on the city. I want the city to be positive.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 14: That's why I have my name on the ballot. And
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 14: I'm still as you do, Brian Thomas, every week, every
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 14: day you're here promoting Cincinnati. You want the best for Cincinnati.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 14: You clearly understand the core. If it's not working well
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 14: impacts all of us, and I feel the same way.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 14: So you know, even though I did not support this mayor,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 14: did not support the majority of this council, the people
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 14: who spoken and I'm going to support them just like
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 14: I would want them to support me or support any
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 14: other person who was elected at the federal, state, and
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 14: local level. That's what that's what you do when you
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 14: put your name on the ballot and you're running. Having
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 14: said that, you know, my concerns remain the same. Brian Thomas,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 14: I'm worried about the crime. I mean, seven people last
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 14: weekend were shot. That's reality, four of them downtown. I
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 14: feel terrible for the citizens of OTR and Mohawk and
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 14: who have invested so much money in their downtown core.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 14: People like Jeff Ruby who's been a staple there and
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 14: what his business is experiencing. And people who own Crew Tower,
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 14: you know what's going on with them are Fountain Square.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 14: You just can't have people shooting on Fountain Square. So
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 14: the nine people that were elected in this mayor, nothing
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 14: has changed. They're going to have to come up with
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 14: a better plan in order to deal with the high
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 14: levels of crime in our city. If people don't feel
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 14: safe in the core Brian Thomas. I don't think I'm exaggerating.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 14: They're not going to come downtown and they're not going
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 14: to support those businesses. I want to be a force,
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 14: you know, of reason and common sense, right and cheerleading
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 14: for our downtown. I want people to come downtown. I
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 14: want them to spend their money our regional partners Brian Thomas.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 14: But I can't do that in good faith if I'm
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 14: uncomfortable being in that space. I don't want also don't
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 14: want to be a hypocrite, and I don't want to
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 14: be a liar. So that's that's not who I am.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: So I am.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 14: I remain concerned, and I hope that the team that
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 14: the citizens of Cincinnati elected when they voted down this
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 14: sample ballot, I hope that they are excited about those
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 14: who were elected last night. I certainly will offer my
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 14: support to all nine of them and this mayor. But
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 14: at the end of the day, we've got to get
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 14: good results.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: Do you expect okay of late And I will emphasize
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: it's only been recently, and I've made this common quite
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: a few times leading up to the race, that I
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: have to have Parvo has learned something because he did
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: take sort of a turn in his attitude toward crime.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: He was in a state of denial and kept telling
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: people that no, no, no, crime isn't as bad as
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: you say it is. It's not. Obviously that was a
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: real issue in the race. He started moving towards supporting police.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: He turned the idea of green projects, which was his
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: number one priority, changed out priorities, then said no, crime
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: and public safety is my number one priority and will
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: be my number one focus. He did take at least
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: some of the existence offered by Governor de Wine, not
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: enough of it, baby, but took some of it. I
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: don't know what the story is with Police Chief Dji,
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: but do you think he's learned anything at least on
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: the topic of crime, that he will take a keener
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: interest and will endeavor to support the police along the
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: lines of the way you would and actively engage police
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: officers and rebuild the ranks. Or is it just well,
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: I got reelected, I'm gonna go down the same path.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: What is your impression the way he's going to.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 14: Go, Well, we'll know in the next week. I mean
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 14: it's not going to take a long long time. I
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 14: think an election like last night reinforces to him in
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 14: his mind, and he's on the right track. That's what
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 14: I believe. He got the council that he wanted. He won,
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 14: you know, decisively, his his mamurial race, and I think
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 14: he is affirmed in his in his tenure. He's a
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 14: tenured UH member of in the mayor's office, which means
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 14: he's not never gonna run for re election again. You know,
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 14: he's he's he will serve out an eight year term.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 14: So I think he's more empowered than ever to do
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 14: whatever his agenda is in here in his mind. We
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 14: will see in the next week, because I think we
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 14: have a we have a tough weekend coming up. You know,
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 14: the weather is going to be reasonably in warm, and
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 14: what we have seen in those weekends is we've seen
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 14: a spike in in gun violence. Is he going to
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 14: address the business in the downtown where they were four
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 14: people shot? You know, is he gonna make a public
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 14: statement saying he's going to get that under control now,
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 14: which means you've got a hold of hearing. You've got
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 14: to ask the owner to come in. You've got to
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 14: explain to those who live around that business that they're
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 14: going to be safe. It's not like Brian Thomas, you
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 14: can wait a week. Four people were shot right across
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 14: the street where people live, and a gun was found
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 14: in the open after that shooting. So there are a
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 14: number of things that he can signal and do that
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 14: will reassure us that he has learned something. I'm not
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 14: the mayor. I will say, we're going to know in
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 14: the next in the next week, let me let me,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 14: let me be cause I know, I know we don't
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 14: have a lot of time.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 2: You're fine, but here, but here's what I want.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 14: I want to say, Man, I have I had so
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 14: many people out there who voted for me, and I
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 14: don't I don't want them to give up, right I
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 14: I live in the city of Cincinnati. I don't want
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 14: to give up. And I want us to continue to
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 14: bet on on Cincinnati. So we're gonna have to give
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 14: this council and this mayor the room to be success
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 14: and offered them the support that whatever they feel like
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 14: they need. Now, that doesn't mean that's an open checkbook.
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 14: As things go in the direction, We're gonna know, Brian Thomas,
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 14: whether that happens or a doesn't. But I want those
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 14: who supported me, who I love and they love me
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 14: to know that I'm still in the game. I'm still
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 14: betting yes on Cincinnati, and that's what we're all going
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 14: to have to do in order to move our our
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 14: city forward. That's really really important. These losses are tough.
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 14: I mean, people were very emotional about about the loss.
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 14: But at the end of the day, man, we gotta
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 14: we got to put our foot forward the next day
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 14: in our city to make it better. I think you
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 14: asked one of the most profound questions. Has this mayor
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 14: learned anything. We're gonna know in the next week. Right,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 14: if he goes, if he starts going to roll calls,
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 14: doing ride alongs, going after the recruitment, we've got still
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 14: one hundred and eighty two hundred officers, and your sister
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 14: went through drops, so you understand if he's not about
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 14: retention of those officers, if he's not about bringing in
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 14: aggressively recruit classes, you know, moving away from ribbon cutting
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 14: and really rolling up your sleeves and saying we've got
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 14: to attack crime. We're not going to coddle criminals. Right,
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 14: We're gonna think about those who are living and want
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 14: to live in a safe city. And it's a non
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 14: partisan issue like safety is not something whereas Democrat or
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 14: Independent are Republican. Everybody deserves to be safe. And I
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 14: think for members of council who might be listening, or
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 14: their offices, or maybe somebody in the mayor's office, that
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 14: is your number one responsibility is keeping us safe. Everything
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 14: else falls under that. And I ran on that, and
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 14: that's what I would be doing today. And I hope
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 14: that they take that banner very very seriously. I don't
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 14: want to see any other Cincinnati people die in our
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 14: streets unnecessarily.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: Amen to that all day. Let me ask you this, Christopher,
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: because voter turnout, man, This was such an important election
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: for the city. So many issues, I mean, the whole
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: violent crime component, the idea of Hyde Park Square, Bond Hill,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: other neighborhoods being ignored at least in terms of the
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: direction they want to go in far as far as development.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: That was a critical issue. Everybody was talking about the
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: beatdown at Fourth and Elm, the whole issue with the chief.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, lots and lots of really important things that
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: should have, in my estimation, driven people to the polls.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: What do you got eight percent of the two hundred
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: and twenty one thousand registered voters. We only got sixty
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: six thousand show up. Why is that? Is it apathy?
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: Is it ignorance? Christopher? That just drives me crazy, because
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: I've voted in every election since I've been able to vote.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 14: I think it's apathy. I think that the two party
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 14: system has us very focused, hyper focused on national elections.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 14: Is where they spend their money. It's where they do
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 14: their voter get out campaigns. You'll see that next year
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 14: in the two year elections. Oh yeah, when Congress is
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 14: fighting overseats. You won't There'll be so much money spent
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 14: on that election and people will be so emotionally charged
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 14: by the time we get to November of next year,
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 14: you know, as these two parties fight it out in
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 14: the middle, we're in the middle of a shutdown, a
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 14: federal shutdown that I've never seen before. I've never seen
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 14: any impact like this at the at the federal level.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 14: So the answer to your to your question is you
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 14: and I understand that local elections are probably the most
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 14: important election, the one we had last night, But the
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 14: two party system has us focused on the two year
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 14: election next year, and then they'll have us focusing on
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 14: the presidential election. We as citizens have to understand politics
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 14: are local, and yesterday's election was the most important election
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 14: in life because the impact their daily life. They're trash
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 14: picked up, their roads, their road repair. There's snow removal,
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 14: which we're going to have to deal with our police
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 14: and fire. I mean, that's where the rubber meets the road.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 14: And for whatever reason, citizens don't connect with that because
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 14: the two party system is leading them and they're pushing
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 14: them in a direction, and they're not out there thinking
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 14: for themselves critically saying, hey man, that's the election I
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 14: should be participating in. Think that's I don't think it's.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 14: I don't think it's as much as of appity. I
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 14: think it's the two party system isn't spending the money
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 14: to get their people out to vote. And this is
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 14: a little cynical on my part because I think the
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 14: system like the one here where the Democrats are running ting,
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 14: they don't necessarily want that voter turn out. They like
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 14: holding the power and controlling it. The mayor says, I
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 14: have the mayor's office, I have all nine members of council,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 14: I control the whole board. I'm going to be able
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 14: to do whatever I want.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: To do.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 14: I don't want two hundred thousand people showing up in vote.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because of course we all understand the whole concept
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: of non government organizations and the political activism that is
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: just seeps throughout all of them. He's going to get
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: all of those folks. They're the ones that get the
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: money from the city taxpayers, so they're been NGOs themselves
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: and all of their friends. You know, we need to
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: support this. The teachers' union also benefits from the government
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: of the city taxpayers. They're going to show up in force,
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: so you can count on that. I'd say twenty five
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: percent of very prominent backers of the administration because they've
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: got their hand in the cookie jar. They want to
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: continue what they're getting from government showing up. But what
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: of everybody else? That just is the puzzling thing, Christopher.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: You can see it, you can sense it, you can
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: feel it. You've seen prior elections. You know it's going
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: to end up being a twenty five percent. Ask Sherry
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: Poland a year after year after year, election after election, Christopher,
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: it's just this mind boggling to me.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 14: It is, And I tell you, I really want to
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 14: just extend my heart out to Liz Keaty Brian Thomas.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 14: As we talk about this, and and Uh and Lakida Cole.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 14: I mean, the both of these women won a Republican
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 14: won a Democrat. They both worked incredibly hard.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 7: I saw that.
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 14: I saw their literature everywhere. You know, they could not
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 14: just like me, Uh, make that leap over voting for
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 14: nine and the simple ballot that citizens seem to be
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 14: just herded to. And so they're down there thinking they're
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 14: doing something. I'm voting for nine people. I'm just down
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 14: there voting gily. I would tell you, if you ask
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 14: people who did they vote for, what do you know
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 14: about them? What were what are their public policy positions?
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 14: Most of them have no idea. They just took a
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 14: ballot and voted for somebody, and and the elections truly
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 14: have consequences. But my my love and my respect go
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 14: out to UH Council, former council members Live Keating and
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 14: Lakda Cole. And I also want to knowledge of Corey Bowman,
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 14: who ran from mayor to the public. You know, the
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 14: Democrats made this about Macca because they wanted to divide us.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 14: They made it about race because they wanted to divide
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 14: us racially. That is how they keep their power.
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: And hold on to it.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 14: That's what this has unfortunately come down to in politics.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 14: But Corey Bowman didn't have to go out there and
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 14: put his name on anything. He was living a great
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 14: life with his beautiful wife Jordan, and had a baby
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 14: on the campaign tril. He his wife had a baby
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 14: on the campaign trail. He's a good guy with a
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 14: good heart. And what they did was, you know, kind
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 14: of marginalized him by saying, you know, in a democratic city,
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 14: this is JD. Vance's brother. Right, if we're thinking logically, right,
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 14: electing a mayor whose brother is the vice President of
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 14: the United States of America is good for the city
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 14: of Cincinnati. Logically, who actually might end up being the
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 14: president of the United States of America in a four
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 14: year term. But we're so hyper about who his brother
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 14: is and what his political party is, we're willing to
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 14: vote against him and then accept the bloodshed. That is
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 14: what is so amazing to me. Meaning at the end
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 14: of the day, I need the results. We've got black
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 14: and brown people killing themselves on a weekly basis, and
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 14: there seems to be no answers coming from city hall.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 14: And what Corey Bowman was offering was a difference, a change,
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 14: and so if the things continue to happen Brian Thomas
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 14: the way they have been happening, it's really difficult to complain.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 14: You know, you voted for that, that's what we ultimately get.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 14: And so I want to extend my love to him
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 14: and to his lovely wife Jordan and therefore children. There
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 14: was a great sacrifice for them, and I want him
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 14: to hear my voice and his whole team that went
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 14: out there and worked as hard as they that he
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 14: has earned my respect for him, and I will continue
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 14: to support him whatever he decides to do next. And
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 14: it's really hard to put your name on a ballot
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 14: and and not win.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in the face of the tremendous uphill challenge he
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: knew he was facing. He ran a strong race, Christopher Smith,
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: and will be talking on Monday, right, thank you.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 14: We will be talking on Monday. Brother, if you'll, if you,
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 14: if you will have me.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: Dude, if you if you said I'm not doing it anymore,
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: you would break my heart. Monday seven twenty the Smither event. God,
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: bless you, Christopher, Thanks for calling in.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 7: Blessed you.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 2: Taking care.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: Condolence is on the loss you should be at the
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: top of the list. God bless you. Eight twenty two
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: the talk station Judge of Polton is up next.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 28: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio Steam, as is
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 28: the case, and thank god.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: At eight thirty, every one say we could hear from
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: the Judge. Annapolitano. Heather is in Detroit, Judge Judge. Apparently
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: Chuck Ingram's on vacation, so he didn't get your personalized
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: introduction today. Welcome back your honor. It's great, heavy you
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: on as always.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 22: Thank you for letting me know before I complained bitterly.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: I know we all missed Chuck when he's not around,
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: but at least you know he's alive and he gets
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: a vacation because that's.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 22: And Chuck, if you're listening, you are missed.
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: Yes he is, Yes he is. Judge Jenna Politano, Oh
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: my god, trying to unpackage again yesterday's election. We had
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: a real terrible outcome here in the city of Cincinnati.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: Generally speaking, looking at New Jersey and Virginia didn't go
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: the way that we were hoping. But they didn't. Those
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 1: races didn't surprise me. The whole Mom Donni thing has
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: really got me. I just don't understand it. I hate
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: to hit you over the head with politics like this,
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: but I just since you live in New Jersey, I
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: just wanted to New York and New Jersey as suppose well,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: I live.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 22: In I'm in New York during the week, so I'm
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 22: right in the middle of the media heartbeat of all
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 22: the Mam Donnie stuff. It's just an unusual phenomenon of
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 22: enthusiasm from young people and old time lefties who apparently
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 22: had more or less given up on the system but
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 22: were attracted by his hard left ideology and his very attractive,
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 22: very endearing personality. He's very charming, very physically attractive young
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 22: man and Governor Cuomo who has been a friend of
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 22: mine as his family has been for many many years.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 22: I hate to say this, but seemed to lack the
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 22: energy and enthusiasm that he manifested when he was the
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 22: governor of New York. Now he lost to Mamdanni twice.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 22: He lost to him in the Democratic primary back in June,
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 22: and then he lost last night when he ran as
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 22: an independent, and notably Mamdani by a narrow margin, but nevertheless,
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 22: he did exceed fifty percent. So the complaints that the
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 22: Republican Curtis we were whom the President referred to as
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 22: a spoiler. So the President of the United States and
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 22: the titular head of the Republican Party told the Republicans
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 22: in New York, the few of them that are here,
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 22: not to vote for the Republican candidate, but to vote
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 22: for Andrew Cuomo. If all of them had done that, ma'am,
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 22: which is unlikely. But if all of them had done that, ma'am,
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 22: Donnie still would have won.
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 2: Now, his.
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 22: Victory speech was not wrapping his arms around people at all.
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 22: It was an aggressive, pugnacious challenge to the President of
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 22: the United States. I would have wrapped my arms around everybody.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 22: I would have said, mister President, this is the city
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 22: of your birth, this is the city where you made
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 22: your name. You built great skyscrapers in the city. We
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 22: welcome you back, and we welcome your cooperation. Governor Cuomo,
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 22: I want you to join my administration because you know
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 22: so much about the city. I would have said things
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 22: like that, but he didn't. He just came out swinging
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 22: as if this was a perpetual campaign. Now, one thing
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 22: that Trump did which helped Mam Donnie and hurt the
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 22: Republican in New Jersey. And I don't know how Trump
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 22: did this, because Congress has appropriated about six or seven
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 22: billion for a new tunnel under the Hudson River between
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 22: New Jersey and New York, badly needed. The new tunnel
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 22: will be trained and automobile, and they've started work on it.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 22: They're part way under the river, starting from the New
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 22: Jersey side. He cut off the funds on that project,
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 22: and the Republican candidate who's ran on Trump's coattails, so
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 22: to speak, refused to criticize Trump for it. Many many
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 22: people in New Jersey are aggravated by that. Many people
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 22: in New York are aggravated by it. The project brings
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 22: thousands of jobs and an enormous economic improvement to the area.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 22: Trump cut it off in one of his peaks of anger.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 22: He didn't cut it off for any soundly stated reason.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 22: So it's a political mess here right now. I just
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 22: hope the city doesn't suffer because the mayor likes to
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 22: tease the president's personality and tone his ego.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: Well, does this signal beyond New York that the Democrats
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: will be successful in their far leftward lurch? I mean
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: They've been struggling with party identity for a long time.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: And the one thing that says to solidify Democrats is
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: just a uniform hatred for Donald Trump. Fine, he's not
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: going to be around leader of.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 22: The leader of the Democratic Party in the state of
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 22: New York, who was also the minority leader in the
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 22: United States Senate, was not at the Mam Donnie celebration
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 22: last night. His office is right across in New York
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 22: City office right across the street from where I am
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 22: now occasionally see each other in the streets. That Senator
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 22: Chuck Schumer. He of course is about to face a
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 22: challenge from the left, from the famous or infamous however
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 22: you want to call her AOC Alexandria Acassio Quortes. She's
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 22: going to challenge him in the Democratic primary as he
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 22: seeks reelection in twenty twenty six. The only thing the
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 22: Democrats unite around is their antipathy to the President. They
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 22: do not unite around ie geology.
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 13: There is the.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 22: Mamdannie AOC Bernie Sanders wing, and there is the Chuck
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 22: Schumer wing. I mean these this AOC crowd makes Chuck
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 22: Schumer seem like Ronald Reagan in comparison.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: It's just it's.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 22: Crazy, but they have the enthusiasm. And I'll tell you
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 22: about Mendanni's money. Small donations fifteen dollars, fifty dollars, one
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 22: hundred dollars, No huge ten million dollar deposits in a
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 22: political action committee by billionaires of anything. The billionaires in
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 22: New York tried to prevent him, and they aided Cuomo.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: Well, that is an interesting phenomenon and of itself, but
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: I guess he prevailed in the city with the largest
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: Jewish population in the country. Yes, he is an avowed
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: anti Semite. I mean he's on record and he's affiliated
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: with every anti Semitic organization there is, and I'm painting
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 1: with a broad brush all acknowledge, but a lot of them.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: He's made some demonstrably horrific comments about Hamas and the
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 1: Jewish people generally, and he refuses to renounce Hamas, for example,
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: even in the wake of that October seventh massacre. I
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 1: just don't understand how he could get traction in New
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 1: York City.
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 22: I think the Jewish community in New York City either
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 22: just gave up the ghost or there are many, many, many.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 22: Because I have friends in this group, members of the
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 22: Jewish people in New York City who are profoundly anti netsigna,
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 22: profoundly against what happened in Gaza, refer to it as genocide,
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 22: and probably either voted for Mam Donnie or didn't vote
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 22: because they expected him to win. Now a Cuomo has
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 22: always had the support of all the major Jewish groups,
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 22: but of course his elections before this one were all
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 22: prior to October seventh, and never against a Muslim who
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 22: was decidedly anti Jewish, so that also is a phenomenon.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 22: But you know, this Tucker Carlson Nick flint is thing
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 22: exploded right at the tail end of the of the campaign.
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 22: I'm a friend of Tucker Cross and I wouldn't go
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 22: within a tent foot poll of Flints. But I don't
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 22: think Carlson is an anti Semite. I think Carlson opposes
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 22: what he believes, and I agree with him is the
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 22: genocide in Gaza, and they're a lot of Jewish people
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 22: in New York that agree with them. And that reared
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 22: its head it because of the attacks on Carlson in
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 22: the past ten days. Republican attacks on Carlson.
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, widespread, and I was actually shocked by all that
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 1: real quick here. I appreciated your column, which comes out tonight.
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm lucky to get it early. Can the president tax you?
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 1: And this, of course relates to the levying of tariff.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: This is going to be argued before the Supreme Court,
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: is it not.
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 22: It's going to be argued this morning at ten o'clock
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 22: before the Supreme Court. And the funders of the challengers
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 22: are all conservative, Republican and libertarian groups who a year
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 22: ago endorsed Donald Trump but are profoundly critical of tariffs.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 22: Tariffs go back to Thomas Jefferson, but they've always been
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 22: enacted by Congress. This is the first president who post
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 22: tariffs on his own, usurping the power to tax the
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 22: tariff as a sales tax. The question is did Congress
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 22: give away its power? And then the question is can
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 22: Congress constitutionally give away its power? I've read these two statutes,
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 22: telling Blue in the face you can't find the word
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 22: tariff's in there specifically or even by implication.
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: You refer to the National Emergencies Act in nineteen seventy
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 1: six that he's claiming the right to do this under Yes, yeah, there's.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 22: A for a gerald Ford era statute and then another
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 22: one Jimmy Carter era. He's also claiming that this is
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 22: an emergency. When you ask him what the emergency is,
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 22: I don't know how the DOJ is going to say
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 22: this is an emergency with a straight face. When justice
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 22: course such asks them what's the emergency? They claim the
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 22: imbalance of trade is an emergency. Well, we've had an
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 22: imbalance of trade since nineteen thirty four. That's ninety years. Yeah,
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 22: how could not be an emergency. There's a federal definition
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 22: of emergency sudden and unexpected event that adversely affects the
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 22: national security or economic stability. So you're talking about a
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 22: surprise military attack or a hurricane. You're not talking about
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 22: a ledger sheet that has existed for ninety years.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: Well, and given them with the wealthiest country on the planet,
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: you would expect to trade in balance because we have
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: enough money to buy stuff from other corect.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 22: So if you if you run up your credit card
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 22: to its limit and you owe the credit card company
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 22: more than you have at the moment in your checking account,
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 22: you have a personal trade imbalance. Is that the fault
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 22: of the companies that sold you the products? No, you're
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 22: going to punish them? No, Trump looks at it differently.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 22: He claims it's the fault of foreign governments, and so
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 22: he wants to punish them with tariffs.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 1: So the mechanism to actually do this is congressional action, correct,
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 1: And here we find ourselves with nothing but congressional inaction
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 1: on little everything. This is where the problem of expedients
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: always enters into the equation with you and I and
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 1: everybody else. People want stuff done right now. They're not
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: willing to wait for the constitutionally founded process to go through,
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: and when that process fails, people immediately defaulted. We'll just
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: go ahead and do it anyway. It's like launching a lot.
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 22: That is actually part of the DOJ's problem. The DOJ
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 22: lawyer is going to point to be in the courtroom.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 22: It's going to point across the street to the Capitol
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 22: and say that building is closed. They can't agree on anything.
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 22: The government is shut down. What is the president supposed
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 22: to do?
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 22: That doesn't mean he can tax, but it does mean
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 22: he has to run foreign policy without the Congress.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, well, at least in the constitution, he is
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: responsible for foreign policy. But as you point out, taxes
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 1: are not foreign policy, and tariffs are invested in the
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 1: part of the congressional responsibility complicated. It is your honor,
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: and of course gridlock tends to result in actions of expedience,
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: perhaps unlawful. Judgingna Paula Tana Judging Freedom is your podcast.
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: You do it all week. What's going on today?
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 22: Your honor might have Professor Glenn Dieson and x CIA
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 22: agent to Phil Giraldi, and tomorrow Colonel Douglas McGregor and
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 22: Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson who worked with Dick Cheney and is
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 22: going to refer to him as a war criminal.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: Somehow, that seems like it's expected. Good job. We'll be
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: listening to the Judging Freedom. I'll encourage my listeners to
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: find that podcast and enjoy your conversations. Always excellent they are,
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 1: and I always appreciate your time here on the fifty
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: five Carecy morning.
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 22: As much as I appreciate the time you get me.
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian, Thank you have a wonderful week. My friends.
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: Eight forty two right now fifty five car City Talk Stations,
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 1: Joe Up and the phone look and to start with Maureen. Maureen,
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning in a very happy Wednesday.
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 1: To you to the extent you can make it.
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 28: So take good morning, Brian, thanks for taking the call.
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 28: I was going to call about Bill Gates in historygic
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 28: pivot about global warming, but I'll save that for tomorrow
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 28: because I want to stay in the morning process here.
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 28: With every morning abody about the election, I have to
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 28: have Peerval first came on my radar when I went
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 28: to the debate that he had with Congressman Shabbitt at
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 28: the Incline Theater back in twenty eighteen, and that was
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 28: about the time that he was the reason he lost
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 28: that they say was because of his double dipping with
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 28: the sixteen thousand dollars check that was paid to two
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 28: different entities during his campaign. Well anyway, so that was
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 28: the first red flag. Second one. Ben and Jerry's named
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 28: their ice cream after him, which is if you know
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 28: anything about Ben and Jerry's, is very telling media that
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 28: Matters is back was backing him, which soro fun of media,
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 28: Matters is pretty much congruent. And then also when he
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 28: came to the.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 11: He was supposed to.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 28: Hold a town hall type thing at Music Hall, and
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 28: the last minute, I think, because I want them to
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 28: be a very big crowd, changed the venue to Washington
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 28: park and he rode up on his bicycle and the cold,
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 28: and then he proceeded to talk about global warming and
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 28: you know, all that kind of kind of stuff. So anyway,
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 28: I knew right then and there I'm out of here.
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 28: I thought that my property values were starting to go down.
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 28: There was increased crime in the area, and that kind
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 28: of thing that was that was came up shortly after
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 28: all that, and I thought that if he stays in this,
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 28: in this game here he won clerk of Courts. Then
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 28: he took out Tracy Winkler's position, and just as I
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 28: saw his risees, that was just a stepping stone to
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 28: bigger things. He kind of that kind of became the
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 28: mini Obama to me, and I thought, I'm not going
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 28: to hang around to watch this, this burning down of
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 28: our city because the writing was on the wall. And
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 28: I feel like kind of a deserter, but I had
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 28: to watch out for my you know, property value and
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 28: things like that. I listened to your wife, Ah, I was.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: Just going to bring her back up, and you like
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 1: the third callar this morning who either said that's it,
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm done or I moved out twenty years ago. Because
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 1: I could see the writing on the wall with the
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: city I love going so far left and falling apart
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: literally in front of our very eyes. So that's a
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: sad reality because I loves the city. Everybody knows that.
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you still love the city conceptually, and you
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: wish it was better. You wish it was a better
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 1: functioning entity. But no Moss, and a lot of people
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid might go that same direction. I don't say
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 1: it's given up. I just say you're making a decision
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: that you believe to be in your best interest, and
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 1: you know what you're looking back twenty years ago forward
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 1: and you had all the information in front of the EO.
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 1: Now it would be an appropriate, rational thing to leave
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 1: back then. Maureen, God bless you, and I'll look forward
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 1: to hearing from you tomorrow because that is a topic
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 1: near and dear to my heart. As you know, thanks
• 2:19:43
  Speaker 1: for calling that.
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 2: I know you too.
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Maureene. I appreciate your support and show Dwayne you're up.
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling this morning, Dwayne, you're on.
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 17: Hey, Brian, I wanted to agree with all your callers
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 17: since the out the election, but I have a disagreement
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 17: with the judge the politano, he says, just because it's
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 17: been done this way for ninety years. It can't be
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 17: an emergency. That's incorrect. We don't continue to do the
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 17: same bad things. We are trillions of dollars in debt.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 17: If any of these countries come calling, we're going to
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 17: end up broke. So because it's been so poorly run,
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 17: it's like a business. Why would you not bring in
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 17: a new CFO and change that will get us out
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 17: of debt.
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 5: It is an emergency.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 17: It's a financial emergency. It's a national security emergency.
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 7: On top of that.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 1: Well, under the terms of the Act that he's operating under.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 1: It's a debatable position, but he did define and there
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 1: is a federal definition for emergency sudden and unexpected. It's
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: something we litigated back when I was doing Circle of
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 1: pollution liability companies with slow drip pollutions over years and years.
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 1: Suddenly decided that that slow drip after year was a
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 1: sudden and accidental occurrence, neither of which was true. So
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: you're stuck with that pesky constitution and peski legal limitations
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 1: regardless of how you want to characterize it. I don't
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 1: deny we're in an economic emergency, but the idea that
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 1: it just sort of suddenly popped up. I'm with the
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: Judge on that this has been a long, long, long
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 1: time coming and a lot of people are to blame
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 1: for it, on both sides of the political ledger good observation,
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 1: So Dune, I'm not going to argue with you about that.
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 1: Who's next? Fred, Fred, welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 1: for calling in.
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 5: Hey, you're doing a great job as always. But I
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 5: have a question a concern, and I believe the reason
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 5: for that concern.
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 5: My question is how on earth do we look at
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 5: tariffs on a foreign country as not being foreign policy?
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 5: By definition, would be foreign policy if you're doing this
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 5: to another country. And my concern is that you've gone
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 5: soft on the Judge and you're not your normal tough
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 5: guy on everybody that comes on that show.
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think I know why.
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 5: Very recently, very recently, you had confessed that you were
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 5: a religious Scotch drinker, and then all of a sudden,
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 5: now you're drinking Burbin and you've gone soft on the Judge.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 5: What I think there's a direct correlation.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: No, I love it, Fred. You know I'm a little elivertary.
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 1: You know, Judge is full on libertarian and I'm a
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 1: constitutional purist, and much in the same way I am
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 1: with the judge. I get where you are coming from,
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 1: and for example, I get where the last caller was
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 1: coming from. But then again, I also appreciate that, in
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: spite of its absolute outright dysfunction, Congress, I believe, with
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 1: the judge, has the power of the perse and this
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 1: is a power of the purse issue. It does impact
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 1: foreign policy, but I think congressional action is what is needed,
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 1: much in the same way I've always argued congressional action
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 1: is needed when you want to start dropping bombs on
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 1: foreign countries. Yes, we have the War Powers Act. Yes,
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 1: I think that also happens to be unconstitutional. It's never
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 1: been put to the challenge, but I love the correlation argument.
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to go back to Scotch my friend, Sherry,
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 1: You're going to have the final ward in the program.
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 1: Thanks for call today, Sherry.
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 19: Thanks for taking my call.
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 30: Brian. So, I just had a few comments nationally and
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 30: then focusing back in on the city, our city, So
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 30: New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City, they're all blue,
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 30: the same as the blue Cincinnati. Hamilton County is blue,
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 30: and it happens that way because, as the lady that
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 30: you had on earlier said, you just can't take it
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 30: after a while, when you end up moving out. I
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 30: had a daughter in Hyde Park who is like, oh
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 30: my god, it's just crazy what they're doing with taxes.
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 30: It's crazy what they're doing. And at some point you say,
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 30: I can't do this because my property value will go down.
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 30: And it's not the people that are moving in, it's
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 30: the policies enacted by the leaders that are doing that.
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 30: So then if we look at Mandani, his was free giveaways.
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 30: That's all it's about, is free giveaways and.
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 1: Inflation.
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 30: Yes, definitely. But he was so ungracious in that speech.
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 30: I think somebody had said that Judge and Paulatano said
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 30: that he was so ungracious. But I think that that's
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 30: the true insight into who he is. I don't think
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 30: that he has any love for any of the American people.
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 30: He was very adamant about how victimized he was and
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 30: how his aunt, who wasn't his aunt, who wasn't even
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 30: a relative, who didn't even exist, you know, was so
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 30: offended that she couldn't ride the subway.
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 1: I agree with you all cared nothing all day long. Sherry,
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 1: and I think you are absolutely right. Just like the judge.
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 1: It was quite a revealing victory speech he did. I
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 1: think this New York residents are going to rue the
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 1: day that they elected him. All I can do is say, Sherry,
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 1: you and I are going to be keeping our popcorn
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 1: out and being very thankful that we don't live in
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: New York City because we'd have to leave
