  Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC the talk station. Good morning, five o
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: five on this Tuesday morning, June the ninth. Allready, well
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: see that I can't believe that the year is already
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: halfway over? Where does time? God? But another day of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: living a dream, A great day to be here. Fifty
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: five KRC hanging out with Joe Strucker and sitting in
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas. I'm Dan Carroll. Thank you so much
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: for being here this morning. Lots lots to get to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: this morning, including uh, a little conversation about the latest
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: shooting in Cincinnati, which happened early early this morning. Homicide
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: investigation is underway. A person found dead across the street
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: from a Cincinnati park overnight, reported on Yarmouth Avenue near
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Bondhill Bondhill Park. The victim pronounced dead at the scene.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Investigators Hamilton County Corner is there. No arrests been made.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Police confirm no suspect information has been released. Fatal shootings
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: are up just a bit to sixty seven and twenty.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Last year, gun violence in Cincinnati dropped to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: its lowest level in three years, with two hundred and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: forty one shootings recorded compared to three hundred and thirteen
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and twenty twenty three, fatal shootings wore up to sixty
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: seven and twenty twenty four after well, this doesn't make
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: any sense. Fatal shootings were up just a bit into
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: sixty seven and twenty twenty four after sixty six in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, So I think that might be that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: that's from the Fox nineteen website. So I think they
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: they hurriedly put that one out there. I'm sure they'll
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: have an update on that a little bit later on.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But as luck would have it, we're going to speak
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: with Adam Taylor today from the Cincinnati Exchange. I mentioned
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this yesterday, and Adam Taylor has an analytical piece that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is in the Cincinnati Exchange, posted a couple of days ago,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and the headline is this is crime down in Cincinnati?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Or have we simply stopped reporting? And so the piece
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: goes on to talk about what's happening at the library,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: talk about people most likely to report often leave a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: cycle hidden inside the numbers. Just and this is what
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Adam Taylor does. He did an analytical piece. Joe, did
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you see that piece that Adam Kaylor did when he
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: talked about the street not the streetcar, but the funding
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: from the railroad. Yeah, and I thought that was just
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: excellent nownalysis where he talked about the construction costs of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: things that the railroad money is supposed to pay for,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and he talked about how the construction costs are expanding
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: exponentially and yet the interest that is going to be
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: gained from where the money the one point six billion
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: dollars is invested is not keeping up with that. So Cincinnati,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: when it comes to building roads or infrastructure, or whatever
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the case may be with I guess they're mandated too
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to use that money in a certain way that that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: they're actually losing ground with every passing day and the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: way construction costs are going, so they're essentially getting a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: lot less bang for the buck. Yes, that money is growing,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: but it's not growing at the same rate in which
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: construction costs are expand so kaylor Adam Taylor just does
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a great job at analyzing all that and looking at
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: those different aspects of the subject. So we'll talk with him.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: That'll be at eight thirty this morning, And I know
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: we're a long way away from that right now, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: maybe you can hang around till eight thirty. That'll be great. Also,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: some other We're a little guests heavy today starting from
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the seven o'clock hour, and a couple of my favorite
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: all time guests are going to be here. One is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Daniel Turner from Power the Future, and Daniel Turner runs
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that website. He is an expert on excuse me and that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: He is an expert on matters of energy. He's an
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: expert on economic issues. You see him all the time
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: on Fox a lot of times, mostly on Fox Business News,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: but he appears on Fox, and he appears on Newsmax
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and One America's Voice and a bunch of other different places.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But just a great commentator on all things. Tom z
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Owastowski is going to be here, Joe, I can never
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: remember the name of his website, We the People Convention.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna write that down, We the People Convention. Tom's Oastowski,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: who's a regular guest here on the fifty five Karsne
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. Just terrific when it comes to talking about
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Ohio and the property tax and things like that. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I saw a piece Channel four in Columbus did a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: investigative piece on Viveake Ramaswami. Joe, did you catch any
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: of that? Yeah, I caught it. Last night as I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and I didn't have time to really maybe all I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm gonna put a message out see if
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I can get Vivec on the show to answer this.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe tomorrow. We've got time for vivike Ramaswami tomorrow.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: But they.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: The piece from Columbus and Channel four. They found some
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: They went back to the Wuhan days twenty twenty and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: they claim at that time Viveke was I guess that's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: when he was in charge of his biotech company, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they go on to talk about how he was a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: proponent of keeping people locked down, separating people by those
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: who got the vaccine those who didn't. But as I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: looked at the report, they were trying to make that case,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and they had some somehow they got a recording of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a phone call or maybe multiple phone calls that Viveke
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was on discussing the issue, and the soundbites that they
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: played didn't really match up with it. So, at least
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to my way of thinking, the soundbites that they played
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: during the course of the report really didn't match up
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: with the case that they were trying to make and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: essentially saying that he and Amy acting we're saying the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: same thing back in the Wuhan days, and that's what
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I had. Look that they call it COVID nineteen. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: call it the Wuhan. I've always called it the Wuhan,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and I will continue to call it the Wuhan. So
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: when I say Wuhan, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I think most Joe, I think most people in this
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: audience understand that, do you yeah, I think so. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they're trying to make the case that and that is
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: what I gleaned from the report. It was a hit
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: piece on Ramaswami. They were trying to make the case
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that he and Amy acting when it went And of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: course much of the campaign is going to, at least
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: from the Republican perspective, is going to be reminding people
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of what Amy Acton did during the during the Wuhan
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: when she was the top medical advisor for Mike the Wine. Joe,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: do you remember exactly what her title was at that time?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't remember, but she was essentially, you know, the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: surgeon General of the state of Ohio. Whatever the name
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of that office, I don't. I should have looked it up,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: but I did. But you know what I'm saying. But again,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the one SoundBite that I heard that they played of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the veak Ramaswami, he was essentially saying he was talking
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: about people who and I and and I remember during
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Wuhan when we were trying to make the case,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: or at least people who were trying to be reasonable
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: about the whole thing. We're trying to make the case
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that if you have contracted and came down with the virus,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the sickness, the illness, whatever the case may be, then
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: we know that your body produces antibodies and you achieve
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a degree of immunity to further infection, further recurrence of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the illness. And the SoundBite that I heard from Vivak
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: is essentially that's what he was saying. He was talking
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and most of the sound bites he's talking about testing,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and he's talking about, well, you know, we should do testing,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and people that have the antibodies, people that have already
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: come in contact with the illness, have the illness and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: have come out on the other side of the illness,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't be discriminated against it in any way. And if
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: memory serves, that was a big point of contention about
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: people getting the vaccine at that time, even though they
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: were saying, even though you've already had it, they were
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: saying that you still need the vaccine. And Joe, am
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I remembering that right? Does that sound right to you? Yeah?
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: And and it sounds to me like le Vik was
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: arguing the exact opposite. And so I don't want to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: put words in his mouth. I don't want to mischaracterize
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: his motivations or whatever he was saying. But I'm gonna
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna reach out to him today and see if
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: we can't get him on the show tomorrow and respond
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to this piece. That's i'll, I'll And I did not,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I don't know, I had a ire
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: drew a blank. Didn't send that to Joe. I should have,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: but there's so much stuff on to get to today.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I'll try to fit into the tomorrow's show and have
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: maybe some more intelligent commentary on it. I just start
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: running off with the mouth. The city council members have
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: come out with their budget items. We'll touch on that
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: this morning. Also, Ryl Chumley from the Washington Times, just
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a great commentator on all things political. She will be
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: here at eight o'clock and I can't wait. I love
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: talking to her. So it's a big day with some
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: great guests and hopefully some of your phone calls as well.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Five to one to three h seven fifty five hundred
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: if you want to get on board five sixteen. We
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: got to get to a break. We'll tell you what's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: going on with the weather. It's Dan carrollin for Brian
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Thomas on fifty five krc V talk stay and continues
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: for another couple of days. It is seventy two. We
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: have fifty five KRCV talk station. You just gotta love
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the New York Post with the NBA Finals happening at
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Gardens last night, got the Knicks and the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Spurs plane the Spurs won by the way, and then
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of course he had Donald Trump going to the going
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to the game last night, they had to move. I
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: guess they'd a watch party right outside on a regular basis,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: right outside Madison Square Gardens, but the Secret Service said
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: nah blah blahnah, and so they had to move it
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to Bryant Park for the watch party, where, of course
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Knicks fans clashed with police and a chaotic scene outside
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Bryant Park during the watch party, and of course there's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: video of that and people, for whatever reason, it's supposed
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to be a watch party, right, you get together your
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: cheer on your team, and you fight with police. So
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know what people in New York are thinking,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: but the New York Post is just great. Their headline
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is from broom to bust. Everyone was expecting a sweep
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in me in the NBA Finals, but of course the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Spurs won last night, so that it means it is
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: not going to be a sweep. Whatever happens there, I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: think I I think I had maybe about two minutes
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of the game on TV before I was out, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I did not see any of the game, so all
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I know is at the Spurs one. And of course
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of people in New York are having a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: conniption because the Knicks did not win last night. So
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: fun times, great times in New York City today. But
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the New York Post is just terrific. There is also
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: audio and you're going to see a lot of this
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on social media today that Trump was booed when they
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: showed him on camera, and I know at least and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: again I didn't watch the whole broadcast, so I don't know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: but at least At one point, they showed him on
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: camera during the national anthem, and it sounded like this,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you judge for yourself. Joe cut number one, pleasees and.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: B the world parts.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: We was.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: We're so good that Lee.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: She cackets see it again through the night that a
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: flag was see say does that star spangled bed?
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And so right now, I don't know what happens later
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: on there, but in the very beginning, when you hear
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the booze come up, that's when they showed President Trump.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: He's there, he's saluting. He's standing next to the guy
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: that owns the Knicks and owns the Madison Square gardens.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Kai Trump was there, So you heard some booing there,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: but then later on there's cheers. It sounded like a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: perfectly fine rendition of the national anthem. So you decide
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: for yourself. And again, look, it's New York City. These
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: are people that voted in Zorhan Mandani, the Communist, to
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: be their mayor. So does it make sense that these
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: morons who vote for this sort of thing would maybe
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: not be huge Trump fans in a political sense. But
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it was so funny because there are so many talking
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: heads on CNN and MSNBC and all the rest of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: it where they were criticizing Trump because he wanted to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: go to the basketball game. And I think even Kathy
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Hokeel said, well, I'm not even sure he's a Knicks fan.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I know Hakim Jeffreys was talking about it the other
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: day or not the other day, but actually yesterday because
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Trump was would dare show his face at the next game?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And there is all kinds of video out there of
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Trump being at the next game, Trump being a sports fan.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: The different media outlets have done stories about it. There
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: was one there was one shot I saw of Trump
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and in his younger days when he when he was
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: in New York City, he was at Madison Square Gardens
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: all the time. So Trump has spent a lot more
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: time at Madison Square Gardens than I would wager most
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of the celebrities or most of the people who were
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: attending that game. So he was there. And there's actually
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a shot I saw video yesterday of Trump actually running
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a camera right there. He's he's looking, he's whatever the
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: event was, and I'm guessing it was a Knicks basketball game.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: But Trump is behind the camera and he's running the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: camera and the guys are talking to him, He's like, oh,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: this is a great job running the camera here at
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: they did the basketball game, so so they you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: they act like, oh, well, he's just going there because
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: he wants pub and he but no, Trump has been
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to multiple events, multiple games, and he was, you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: when his younger days, when he was the King of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: New York, he was at the gardens all the time
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and going to the basketball gain. Celebrities love to go
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to basketball games for some reason. Five point twenty five,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: we got to get to a break and we'll talk
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: about some of the some of the wish list of
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: some of the city council members coming up on fifty
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: five KRC the talk stations. Just don't do it, Just
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: don't go another day class. Let me dial this up
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: right here seventy two at fifty five KRCV Talkstation. I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: could just let that play for a little while there.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, fifty five KRC the Talk Station, Dan Carroll
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Fort Bryan Thomas touched on this yesterday when our in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: our chat with Chris Smithman, who, by the way, if
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you met Joe, is that hour with Chris Smithman up
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five KRC website. The I want to
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: say the blog. Is it the blog page, the podcast page.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know why the word blog just jumped in.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Does anyone still do blogging? Is that still a thing?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Or's everything? I think everything's podcasting, but it's on the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: podcast page. Chris smithment just on fire yesterday for the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: entire hour, and I mean he he started off at
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: about at about eighty miles an hour and didn't slow down.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: It was one of his finest, I thought, performances on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC. So we always appreciate him being here.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: City council and we did talk. We talked about city
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: council members. They were going to have their budget meeting yesterday,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: so what do they want money for? According to the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Enquirer, five council members want money for Artsville. Three
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: council members Jan Michelle McCarney, Jeff Kramerding, and Scottie Johnson
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: want the city to spend two hundred and fifty grand
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: on Madisonville's Artsville. Council member Mark Jeffries and Anna Albi
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: only want two hundred thousand. The ten year old nonprofit
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: runs a performing arts center from a city owned building
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: on the neighborhood on Madisonville's Wetzel Avenue Executive director Kathy
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Garrison said she'd lobby the council member for funds to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: buy professional lighting, improved sound equipment, and replace on It's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: not an easy task, she said, but that upgrades to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the building will help it attract more professional performances. Without
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: essential equipment, we are losing them. So is that a
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: good expenditure there of city funds? Two hundred and fifty
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars for Madison's Artsville. I don't know much about Artsville,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: but that's what they are suggesting. Five members of city council.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: One additional money for Boots on the Ground. Joe Orry,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: are you familiar with Boots on the ground. They went
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: between two hundred and another two hundred and fifty fifty.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: That figure right there, between two hundred and two hundred
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars seem to be very popular. The proposed
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: budget as written already specifies two hundred and forty two
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: thousand for the group, so why not round it up
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to two fifty The city career we add Boots on
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the Ground in twenty twenty two, in partnership with the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Greater Cincinnati Foundation to make grants of up to twenty
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to groups working on homelessness, food access,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: youth violence, workforce development, and other causes. Yeah, I mean,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: how are those things working out? What kind of do
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: we have? Do we have any progress reports from boots
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: on the ground. Have we seen? Maybe all ask Adam
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Kaylor that if they want to give more money to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: these groups, can we maybe get some some information, maybe
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: some hard numbers on how effective they are in doing
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: what they propose to do? Is that asking too much?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Is that unreasonable? Look, you're going to go out and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: address these issues of food access, homelessness, and workforce development.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Can you show us some progress in that area? Can
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: we see some success stories? Can we hear from individuals
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: who have benefited from this large s from the city
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: among similar advocacy groups winning support from more than one
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: council member safe, including in neighborhoods fun he keeps Cincinnati
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Beautiful program to fight crime by beautifying neighborhoods. All right, Look,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but as I drive around
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the city, I wouldn't say there's a lot of beautification
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: going on. I see a lot of garbage. I see
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: ample supplies of garbage, filth, litter, junk on the streets,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and now we want to spend more money on that.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Are we really making and from Tome? I'll be honest.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: From time to time, I do see people out there.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're inmates. I don't know if
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: they're city employees. I don't know who they are. But
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: every once in a while I see people out there
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and they're walking around. They've got the bags, they've got
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the reflective vests on, and they're picking stuff up. So
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I guess that's good. I guess that costs a certain
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: amount of money. But again, can we see some progress reports?
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Can we see you know, and make sure we're getting
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: some bang for the buck there, It's all I'm asking.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Here's another Mortar m O R T a
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: R a nonprofit that supports black entrepreneurship in Cincinnati. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: don't know much about Mortar, a nonprofit that supports black
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurship in Cincinnati. Is there a group that supports non
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: black or white entrepreneurship? How would that go over? Would
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: would anyone be advocating money for that? I don't know.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: It sounds a little exclusive to me since E Tech
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a venture capital firm focusing on tackling the world's complex challenges,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: since ey Tech a venture capital firm focused on tackling
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the world's complex challenges. So, I again, I don't know
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: much about Sincy Tech. It sounds like to me, it
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: sounds like a commercial enterprise if they're a venture capital Joe.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: When you hear people talk about venture capital, doesn't that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: normally suggest a commercial enterprise a business enterprise?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know why public money would come into
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: play on that centrifuse, which supports startup seeking transitional outcomes,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, transformational outcomes in our region. So these are
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: things that council members propose spending money on. They want
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: more money for programs that help younger Cincinnatians find jobs
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and stay out of trouble. Seems to me that that
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: sort of overlaps with the other things. Councilmember Ryan James
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: wants three hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the Boys
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and Girls Clubs. Mika Owens and Seth Walsh suggested dollars
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to send kids to Cincinnati Recreation summer camps. For free
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Recreation summer camps. I don't know when I was
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: a kid, I never got to go to camp. I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: had all these friends that would go to camp. I
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: never went to camp when I was a kid. I
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: always felt like I was left out. Tom is on
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the line. Let's we'll find out what Tom has to say.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: We got to get to a quick break here, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: then we'll do that and check in and maybe run
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: down some more of the council members wish lists. On
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRCV talks there's a new by forty one
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: on this Tuesday morning, Dan Carol from Brian Thomas fifty

• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Just want a couple of public service announcements. Mocas Hot
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: MOCAC Eason is officially over with.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: All this heat.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Can I cannot do I usually do a I usually
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: do a single hot moke in the morning. I just
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: cannot do it.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Anymore.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: You gotta go with the with the iced offerings.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: I can't do cold coffee drinks. I don't know what
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: it is. I've never did.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I actually, I actually would. I guess. I guess McDonald
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: says some now, and I thought, you know what, just
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: for just for the heck of it, I'll try one.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And I think my son was in the car with
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: me and he got one. I said, you know what,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I'll try one of those. And it was actually pretty good.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: So there, I'll take I'll take your word. Well, I
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: just never developed to take you. If it's going to
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: be coffee, it's gotta be hot. If I can't take
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: the heat, then I'll just leave it. But on the
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: flip side, uh, peach milkshake season has begun, so you
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: know what.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: My wife asked me. My wife asked me that the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: other day. She said, is it too early for peach yet?
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: And I don't know. I know it starts in the summertime,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: but I thought, you know, beginning of June, it might
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: be a little bit too early. But you're saying, peach
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: is here. I love it.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Peach.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Peach is here all over the place, but especially at
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Chick fil A. Milkshakes are phenomenal. So anyway, so there's
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: our public.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Service now sounds more like a plug to me, not
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: public service.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Call it whatever you want. The uh you talked about
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: construction costs earlier and being and being being in construction.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm very aware of all the things that go
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: into to what costs money, and I just want to
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: make sure you keep in mind that for every guy
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: you see working, there has to be a minimum of
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: three people watching him work, especially on a government contract,
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: and I think the number goes up to five. Five guys.
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: Safety, Gotta have a right, gotta have a fodder, Gotta
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: have somebody watch and make sure that you're not you're
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: not being safe.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: It is crazy how much the price of construction goes
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: up as soon as the government entity gets involved. Money.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Oh we can, Yeah, it's there's an old there's an
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: old joke about a guy.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna do the whole thing, but basically it
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: turns out the guy that gave the highest bid he
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: got he won the job, and he hired the guy
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: that gave the lowest bid to do the job. And
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: maybe what the profits.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Well, it's like college tuition right. Once government money got
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: involved in sending people to college, It's amazing how those
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: tuitions just shot right up there.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the government putting money into things is pretty much
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: anti capitalism because you're just basically giving people free or
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: reign to charge whatever they want and there's no competition
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: for it. It's well, maybe there is who can charge
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: the most, because then the people actually paying the bill
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: can get a little kickback or something. It's insane.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Well, Counsel Council Member Albi would like an unspecified amount
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: of money to go to the film Cincinnati and a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: save a lot of grocery store in Roselawn.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: Well, and you're also you're asking about accountability and how
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: dare you how dare you ask to be accountable for
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: the money they're wanting to spend. I don't know who
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: you think you are, but it's crazy. Hey, hey, everybody,
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: don't vote Democrat. I haven't hit that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Tom As always words to live. Don't vote Democrat. Full
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: voice for street paving, lead paints and storm water mark
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: jeffries On's four point five million for street paving, one
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: million for lend paid removal, and seven hundred and fifty
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars to combat stormwater damage. Joe, it seems to
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: me that when you talk about street paving, storm water
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: and things like that, shouldn't those things be covered under
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the railroad deal. Isn't that the kind of stuff that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: money like that is supposed to be used for it?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me, Uh yeah. Seth Walls wants three
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: hundred grand for an engineering study for the Purple People Bridge.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Huh an engineering study for the Purple People Bridge. And
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Mika Owens wants money for gun violence victims memorial. What
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a big memorial, Not me to
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: stop gun violence, but memorial for those who are victims
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: of it. Five forty fifty five KRCV talks Days.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: There's a new and exciting way to start your dri.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: If you were listening yesterday, I came in here and
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I was talking about how I forgot my cell phone yesterday.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I had my cell phone today, but I forgot my
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: coffee cup. So I'm drinking out of one of the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: one of the uh compostable coffee cups that we have
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: over there in the little kitchenette, which I mean, it's
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: perfectly fine, but the coffee doesn't stay hot very long.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: So you got to drink it fast. What's the old saying,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Joe that if you subsidize something, you get more of it,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: If you tax something, you get less of it. So
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Council member Owens wants money for a gun violence victims memorial,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a gun violence victims memorial. Do we really want more
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: people in the gun violence memorial if we subsidize that?
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I just I don't get it. Several council members suggested
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: money for programs that helped Cincinnatians repair homes, prevent evictions,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: and cover utility bills. Council members Kennie and Johnson specified
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars for the Cincinnati Real Property Reparations program.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Now is the time to repair the damage done by
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: racial and income based discriminatory policies. They said, then that
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: initial allocation would go for emergency home repairs. Kearney indicated
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: their worry measure said the program needs five million dollars overall?
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Is that it is that all?
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Is that all on reparations? Hmm? It doesn't seem that,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: depending on how you split it up, that five million
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: dollars for reparations is really going to go all that far,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: And that just it just sounds like one of the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: worst ideas that you could possibly have. Jeffrey has made
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: clear he does not support city dollars for Farmer, saying
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the two million that may have to purval endorse for
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the center should instead go to the streets. Again with
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the streets, I thought we had streets covered. It wasn't
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that the deal when we sold the railroad. That's and
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm when when I have Adam kaylor on
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: in the eight o'clock hour. I mean, this guy has
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: done a deep dive in all of this. But wasn't
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that the money that the Railroad Fund brought in. Wasn't
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: that supposed to be used for infrastructure project? What is infrastructure? Streets, sewers, bridges, roads, overpasses,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: things like that. Isn't that what that money's supposed to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: be used for. Shouldn't that relieve that one point six
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: billion dollars you tap into into that, you allocate some
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: of that. Shouldn't that relieve some of the pressure on
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the city budget, of which we have a thirty million
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: dollar deficit? This piece in the end Quirre And again
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I was not at the meeting yesterday, so I don't
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: know if this came up. I don't know if any
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: of these council members address the issue of the thirty
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: million dollar deficit, and then again the unfunded liabilities that
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati has that any I don't know
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: if any of that was addressed in a meaningful way.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I'll have to read more into what happened at the
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: meeting yesterday. But according to this this was and again
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: this was just a chance to them to get their
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: wish list out there. But why are we engaged in
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: this exercise at all? Is this if you're a voter.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I don't live in the City of Cincinnati. I don't
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: vote in the City of Cincinnati, but if I did,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I would look at this exercise of council members. We
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: got they spent a few hundred thousand dollars over here,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars for this project, two one hundred
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars for the arts in Madisonville. I
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: would just look at this exercise as a complete and
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: total waste of time. We have a normal budget process
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: in the City of Cincinnati. Why can't we adhere to that,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: mister and missus council member instead of this exercise where
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you get to come out and say, man, things are
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: fine and dandy. We can spend money on reparations home repairs. People.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: You know a grocery store in Mount Auburn or whatever,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: that Rose Lawn, Save a Lot grocery store in Roseland
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: last time I checked Save a Lot, is is Stave
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: a Lot of a government run entity? That is that
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: a government run food store like Mandannie has in New York?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Or is that a commercial enterprise? I don't know, just
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: asking five fifty six fifty five KRC, the talk station.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: The iHeartRadio app very much under can call to the
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: streets of America.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: Your news is heard here.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: On fifty five KRS the talkstation. I'm out a little
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Van Halen on a Tuesday morning. Something tells me we're
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: going to have some tomorrow morning as well, but that's
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: all right with me. Fifty five KRC next hour and
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: an hour after that, fifty five kr CD talk station.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas five point three seven four
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred. In case he missed it, Joe,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the Mayor's racing Los Angeles is over now. Yesterday we
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: weren't so sure. Votes weren't finalized, so yesterday morning at
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: this time, I was talking about the mayor's race in
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I think they were only a little over
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: fifty percent of the way there. But lo and behold,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the Democrat Canadate eight has crept up. Nythia Rahman has
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: crept up and surpassed Spencer Pratt, and therefore the election
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: has now been called.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: It is over.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Spencer Pratt is out, even though there's still I don't know,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: twenty five thirty percent of the vote left account that.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I guess that's how it works in Los Angeles. Now
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the governor's race, that one is not done yet. So
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Steve Hilton is still in second place, and he got
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Styre out there. Who you got, you know, Zave Haxavier,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Hobby aer Barseia, the guy who worked for Joe Biden
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: is I guess he's in. He's the number one guy,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: and then number two is Steve Hilton. But there's still
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: votes to count, so so that race isn't over yet.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: But even though there's still votes account now that the
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Democrat is ahead in Los Angeles, then the vote is
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: now being declared over.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: Even though.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: This gal nith Ramen gave a if you've seen the
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: concession speech that she gave on election night. She's in tears,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: absolutely crying. She can't believe it. So Spencer Pratt was
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: talking about this. Ramen was trailing Pratt by about forty
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: thousand votes on election night, but thanks to mail in
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: ballots that were inserted after election day, she closed the gap.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Nobody thought it was possible. Didn't even think it was possed.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: She didn't even think it was possible. It can be
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: called that Ramen broke down in tears on election night,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: but Spencer Pratt pointed out that anything is possible when
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: you gain the system. Fox Los Angeles. Fox Los Angeles
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Matthew Seeroff noted that Ramen had a net swing of
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: more than forty three thousand votes since Tuesday. Pratt highlighted
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: the stunning similarity and the number of votes that Pratt
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: gained and the Los Angeles homeless population in twenty twenty five.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Forty three thousand. Huh, this is Pratt speaking. Where have
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I seen that number before? He said, sharing from the
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: website for the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority, the lead
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: agency and homelessness serving in Los Angeles. According to the page,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: forty three thousand, six hundred and ninety nine people have
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: experienced homelessness on any given night in the city of
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles. So she got forty three thousand votes to
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: swing the difference. There's forty three thousand homeless people in
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the city of Los Angeles, and so you've got Spencer
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Pratt who's looking at that and saying coincidence. I don't
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: think so. The Washington Times are not the Washington Time. Yeah,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: the Washington Times. I put it this way, chat GPT
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: could not find one example in American history of a
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: third place candidates urging days after an election to overtake
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: second place. Yet that is what we are seeing in
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles, with the Democrat socialist Nathia Rahman besting reality
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: TV star Spencer Pratt, possibly edging him out of the runoff. Well,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: according to the AP, now that race is called, and
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. For mail in ballots arriving before
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the election, Karen Basset, Democrat received thirty eight percent of
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: the vote, mister Pratt received twenty eight percent, and Ramen
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: received only twenty percent. Voter turnout for Ramen on June second,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: the day of the election, was so tepid she gave
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: a concessant speech in which she sobbed to her family
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: and friends for having failed. Then something miraculous happened to
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: surge in Ms Raman's popularity that was not observable before
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: or On June second. She collected thirty seven percent of
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the mail in ballots that arrived after the election, a
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: seventeen percent surge, besting missus Bass's thirty five percent and
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: mister Pratt's nineteen percent. That was a nine percent drop.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: So the mayor Karen Bass when all when the mail
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: in ballots started coming in, Karen Bass, who overwhelmingly won
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: the election, experienced a three percent drop in the mail
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: in votes. Pratt experienced a nine percent drop in those votes.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: But somehow Ms Rahman went up seventeen percent. So you've
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: got seventeen percent and a three percent. That's a twenty
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: point swing. And then the nine percent with the seventeen percent,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: that is a what is that? That is a twenty
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: a twenty five five percent swing? Am I doing that right?
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Twenty six percent? A twenty six percent swing in ballance?
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Just to be clear, mail in ballots that arrived after
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: June second dropped for everyone except for the person Democrats
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: needed to defeat mister Pratt. So everyone who was in
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the race, and there was more than three of them,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: but everyone who was in that race, their percentage is dropped,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: but only she went up. MS Bass stayed around thirty
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: five percent of the vote nearly the entire time. The
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: only wild change was between the number two and number
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: three candidates. It is simply not mathematically or statistically realistic.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: The left is telling us that Democrats vote late by mail,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: which is certainly true, but it does not explain why
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: MS Rahman, who was relatively unknown, received a disproportionate share
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: of the late mail in votes while MS past numbers
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: remain relatively unchanged. No external event could explain explain this.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Before the election, no lead breaking scandals emerged among the candidates,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: nor were there any endorsements that could have altered the
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: racist trajectory. However, online buzz suggested mister Pratt, an independent,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: couldn't make the runoff to secure the number two spot
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: in one of the ballot drops late on election night,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: mister Pratt received zero of twenty four thousand votes. Super
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: groc estimate estimate places those odds at less than one
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: in one trillion, So there was an election night late
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: night ballot drop twenty four thousand votes, not a single
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: vote for mister Pratt. And that's just one. And there's
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: some discussion about that one, about whether or not that
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: is true. The most concentrated batches of mail in votes
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: from is Ramen came from skid Row, where tens of
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: thousands of homeless people live with no address or phone
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: number to verify them, but they're still allowed to vote,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: to vote. Ballot harvesting is legal, and it goes on
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: and on and on, but of course absolutely nothing to
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: see here, no fraud whatsoever. And it's it's amazing when
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: you and I was googling some of this stuff before,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: about the about the vote totals in UH in California
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: and what the what the votes were, and of course
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I don't have the page right here, but you read
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: some of the headlines from all the regular all the
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: regular suspects, right, Google puts up the CNN, NPR daily Mail,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: all those things come up first, and all it says is, oh,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: California still counting votes. Everyone expected. You know, it's been
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: a while, but it's all expected. It's all expected. Yes,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: this is exactly what we expect from California. There's an
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: investigation underway. But if you can't smell the fraud here,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: then you just have no idea. What is cooking six
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: fifteen fifty five krs.
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: You're gonna find some some war heroes you're gonna find
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: in our.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC detalk station. You know, you can say
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: what you want about the Trump administration, but when it
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: comes to exposing and trying to root out government waste
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: and fraud, I've never seen an administration like this. A
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: crackdown targeting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program SNAP. We used to
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: call them food stamps, but of course you know you
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: can't have the stigma of having food stamps, so you
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: have to have your car looks like a credit card.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: The SNAP program, but a targeting or i should say
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: a program targeting SNAP in the state of Ohio is
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: implicated nineteen retailers. The retailers stand accused of illegally exchanging
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: benefits for cash, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, other prohibited items. The
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: bus was conducted by state officials in cooperation with the
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: federal government. Follows the introduction of hb IE sixty three,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: a state law introducing a chip enabled electronic benefit transfer
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: card The law aims to reduce skimming and clothing schemes. Specifically,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: violations were uncovered in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus. In one case,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: a convenience store in Cleveland was accused of taking more
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: than fourteen thousand dollars in the illegal payment. SNAP is
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the largest federal anti hunger program in the country. The
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: programs meant to provide low income households with monthly food
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: or monthly funds I should say commonly referred to as
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: food stamps to purchase eligible groceries. The head of the
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: United States Partner of Agriculture, Book Rollins, has been all
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: over this. She's been testifying in front of Congress and
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: just laying out some unbelievable statistics. And she was on
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: with Fox News talking about food stamp fraud and Joe,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: can we hear cut number three please?
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: In a letter to every governor in America, no one
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: had ever held the states accountable the federal government funds
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: the food staff program. We send hundreds of millions of
• 48:41
  Speaker 9: dollars a day to the states, but there'd never been
• 48:44
  Speaker 9: a back end accountability on how is that money getting spent.
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: So we asked all the states to partner with us
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: as time to have accountability. The Red States, of course did,
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: and with that Red state data, we found two hundred
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: thousand dead people getting food stamps. We found half a
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: million people that we're getting more than one benefit. And y'all,
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: this was in the Red States. The Blue States wouldn't
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: give us the data. They're suing us. We're in massive
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: litigation right now looking to cut those funds off until
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: they give us that data. But the fraud is so
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: rampant and so stunning that when the President, the Vice
• 49:17
  Speaker 9: president and our team talks about, you know, when we
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: can root all this fraud out, we're going to really
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: be able to cut the deficit, make sure we're protecting
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: the taxpayer, but also make sure we're protecting the families
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: that rely on these programs at the same time.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: And by getting the fraud out, it just continues to amaze,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: at least to me anyway, just how much waste, fraud, abuse,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: people simply just ripping off the system continues to be exposed.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: And the Blue states that she's been talking about, they
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: have been fighting the government tooth and nail on every
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: single issue. Two hundred thousand dead people receiving snap benefits, Joe.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: The last I checked, if you're deceased, you're really not
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: eating a whole lot, are you. Yeah. I think at
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: that point the eating pretty much comes to a stop.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: And then the numbers are absolutely staggering. People receiving multiple
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: benefits and look who's ever there there are? And this
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: goes on with Social Security too. Right, someone in your
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: family passes away, they've been getting a Social Security check
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: for as long as you can remember. You want that
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: check to come rolling in. You don't report the passing
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: of your loved one to the federal government or I
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: guess any agency for that matter, and you let those
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: checks can't come rolling in. How many times have we
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: seen that same thing with food stamps or the EBT cards.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: There's no oversight. Once these government programs starts shoveling money
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: out the door, it just keeps going and going and
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: going and going. And so again, say what you want
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: about the Trump administration. You can criticize them for or
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: criticize Trump for the Warren Iran. That thing is is
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: really get It is absolutely I'm going to talk to
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Cheryl Tumbley about that in the eight o'clock out. But when,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: at least when it comes to cracking down on fraud.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: When it comes to cracking down on theft, people ripping
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: off the system. At least this administration, unlike any other
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: I have ever seen, is taking it seriously and they're
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: going full steam ahead. Six at fifty five KRCV talk station,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: waking up on the right, fifty five krc DE talk station.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Just rebuild my compostable coffee cup, and it doesn't make
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: the coffee taste funny.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: So I like.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Tom Holman says, more ice than ever is coming to
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: New York City. I just love the way he just
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: he just puts all this stuff in people's faces. Of course,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: he got those idiots in New Jersey or outside the
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: detention center there complaining about the food and all the
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: rest of it. Tom Holmans like, hey, I sat down.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: I couldn't finish it all. So Tom Holmens, Tom Holmans
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: is just one of the absolute best. And I just
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I just love the way he doesn't And so many
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: of these people in the Trump administration, they just do
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: not cower and do not bow down to the usual
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: voices on the left who complain about every single thing.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: And of course there's a lawsuit now talking about the
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: UFC fight that is going to happen on the White
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: House lawn. Joe, you're gonna watch that when the USC
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: fight comes on Saturday, June fourteenth. That's a Saturday. Are
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: you a USC fan at all? Do you like to
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: watch the fighting?
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: So they've got the octagon set up out there. They've
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: got the huge lighting array. It towers over the White House.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: It's huge, it's big. They've got seating for about forty
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: five hundred people. Of course, the people who don't want
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: any fun to be had are now trying to stop
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: this from happening. The fight is scheduled to happen on Saturday,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: June point fourteenth. The lawsuit was filed in the eleventh
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: hour by two Virginia residents and something called the Public
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Integrity Project. The plan is deeply corrupt. The event built
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: as UFC Freedom to fifty, being organized by the UFC,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: whose chief executive, Dana White, is a close friend an
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: ally of the president. Well, that makes everything very suspicious
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: right there. The President is giving White and his company
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: what none have enjoyed before, unfettered access to the White
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: House and Lincoln Memorial to stage a private, for profit
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: sports event with all the promotional and branding opportunities that
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: accompany such access, the lawsuit argues. The suit implies in
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: America's two to fiftieth anniversary is not the real reason
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: for the fight, but instead a personal birthday celebration for
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Trump that also promotes the UFC brand, enriching Trump and
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: UFCC Dana White. Trump's birthday coincides with Flag Day, a
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: nationwide observance commemorating the adoption of the American flag in
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: seventeen seventy seven. The lawsuit further argues that Trump's use
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: of the White House South Lawn to host a sporting
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: event and the erection of a u A fight venue,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: which the White House and the Ultimate Fighting Championship call
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the Claw, are illegal. In particular, the USC erecting a
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: ninety two foot tall, six hundred ton steel structure it
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: calls the Claw immediately adjacent adjacent to the Executive Residents
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: is destroying much of the South lawn in the process,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: It claims, I think the lawn's going to be just fine.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: The lawsuit highlights trump comments in a recent TikTok video
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: where he compared the Claw to the Eiffel Tower suggests
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: that he's never going to take it down. Well, of
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: course he did that because he did that because he
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: knows people like you want to complain about it. So
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: as like when he says how many times and he
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: hasn't done it that much recently, but he talks about
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight and he does that. He is not
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: going to run again, but he does it just to
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: play these idiots like the fools that they are. He
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: plays them like a fiddle, and of course they bite
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: on it. Every time we're building something in front of
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: the White House. It's quite attractive to some people. It's
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: going to have a big UFC fight on June fourteenth.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. Maybe we'll never take it down.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: Trump said, that's absolutely amazing. So yeah, those on the
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: left cannot abide anything that is the least bit of
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: fun something that And look, if this was Obama's idea,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: they'd be perfectly fine with it. If Joe Biden could
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: ever think out of the box for a moment for
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: something like this, they'd be perfectly fine with it. But
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: of course they've got to sue. I certainly hope that
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: this judge doesn't step in and try to block this.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: I hope we don't have a bunch of legal wranglings
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: before this happens. I just hope it's going to be
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: on TV because I want to see it. I'm not huge.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I've watched a few of some of the the you know,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: some of the big name fights that were supposed to
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: be out there, and generally speaking, when the women fight, Joe,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: you've ever seen the women fight in that thing. I
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: mean some of the women's fight have been some of
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: the most brutal that I have ever seen. And those
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: women getting there, man, they go toe to toe. It
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: is absolutely horrendous the way they are beating each other up.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: So hopefully it'll be a good car on the fourteenth,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see it. Six point thirty

• 58:16
  Speaker 1: June Bepp is a doctor lives out in Colorado. I've
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: had him as a guest many times on my on
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: my shows Down the Hallway, and he's a regular contributor
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: to American Thinker, and he's writing about a warning that
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: is happening right there in his backyard in Colorado, and
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: he talks about the empty classrooms, or a warning for America.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Colorado colleges are bracing for what education experts call an
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: enrollment cliff. Fewer high school graduates mean fewer college applicants,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: shrinking tuition revenue, budget cuts, mergers, even campus closures. The
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: same phenomena is unfolding nationwide. After years of warnings the
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: demographic the demographic reckoning has arrived. According to recent Colorado
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: education data, public school enrollment fell by more than ten
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: thousand students this year, the state's largest decline since the pandemic.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: State officials point to a simple explanation. There are fewer children.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: Birth rates have been declining for years, and those missing
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: children are now missing students. Many analysts trace the problem
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: to the two thousand and eight financial crisis. As economic
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: uncertainty grew, American's postponed marriage, delayed having children, or chose
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: to have fewer children. Altogether, eighteen years later, right on schedule,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: colleges are seeing the predictable consequences. That explanation is correct,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: but incomplete. The enrollment cliff itself was largely set in
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: motion two decades ago, but instead of addressing the underlying
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: cause of declining family formation, policymakers have spent the last
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: twenty years making them worse. Colorado provides a revealing case study.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and eight, the Media and Denver area
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: home price was about a third of what it is
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: today two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars then six
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: hundred ten thousand dollars today. Colorado was once a magnet
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: for young families. Affordable housing, good schools, abundant jobs, high
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: quality of life attracted newcomers from across the country. Today,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: many of those same advantages are eroding. The state remains
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: desirable but increasingly expensive, particularly for young adults contemplating marriage,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: home ownership, and children. Housing costs of dramatically outpaced wage growth.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Young adults face not only higher mortgage payments, but restoring rents,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: childcare expenses, insurance premiums, property taxes, fees, utility costs. Starting
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: a family increasingly feels like a luxury good or a
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: vacation home. How are Colorado's responding? They are leaving for
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: green of pastures. For the first time in twenty years,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: more people left Colorado to go to other states than
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: moved here from elsewhere in the country one hundred more so,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: he points out an issue here that is happening in
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: many areas where people have for the past twenty years
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: elected one Democrat liberal Democrat politician after another. Things get
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: to the point where they can't take it anymore, and
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: then they move elsewhere and continue to vote for left,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: far left Democrat politicians. And this has happened time and
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: time again all over the country. Politicians frequently express concern
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: about declining birth rates while simultaneously supporting policies that increase
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: the cost of living. Every new tax, fee, regulatory mandate,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: housing restriction ultimately land somewhere. Increasingly, it lands on young families.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Denver public schools officials themselves cite housing affordability as a
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: significant factor in the decline and enrollment. Families with children
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: are increasingly priced out of many neighborhoods. Then came the Wuhan,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: he says COVID, But I say wuhan. The educational damage
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: from prolonged school closers is still being measured. While graduate
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: rates have recovered and even improved statistically, many students disengaged
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: from traditional education during the lockdown years. Some shifted to homeschooling,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Others moved to online alternatives. Some never fully reconnected with
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: the educational system at all. Colorado continues to see growth
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: in alternative education pathways while traditional enrollment declines. Parents learned
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: an important lesson during the Wuhan. School systems need families
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: more than families need school systems. The result is fewer
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: students in traditional classrooms and growing financial stress on institutions
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: built around perpetual enrollment growth. Clemson is one point five
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: billion dollars in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing nine
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: twenty three programs. UNC Chapel Hill plans to cut spending
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: by eighty nine million dollars over three years. Duke recently
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: let six hundred employees go in a three hundred and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: fifty million dollar budget cut. Indiana Public College has announced
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: a plan to eliminate or merge five hundred eighty programs statewide.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: These institutions did not suddenly become less capable. They built budget,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: staffing levels, facilities around demographic assumptions that are no longer true.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: For decades, colleges believe that more students would always arrive.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: New administrators were hired diversity bureaucracies expanded, campus amenities multiplied,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: tuition rose relentlessly. Now the supply of students is shrinking,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: the business model is under pressure. At the same time,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: confidence in higher education has declined as tuition rises faster
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: than inflation, while many graduates leave campus burdened with debt
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: and degrees offering uncertain at conomic returns. And I mean,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: and this piece just goes on to point out the
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: demographic realities that we are seeing now with and then
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: that that's a subject I haven't talked about a ton.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much Brian Thomas has talked about it,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: but the shrinking birth rates here in the United States
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: are going to come back to haunt us in many,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: many ways. And this education cliff, the enrollment cliff, and
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: especially in higher education, is going to be something that's
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: going to need to be dealt with in a serious way.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: And I don't know that we really have the people
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: in place to do that. Six for six at fifty
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: five KRC, the talk station. Iheartsy Odd Rock rate talk station.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: That's got to be one of the greatest song intros
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: of all time. Or Radar Love Streker, you just put
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: him right at my wheelhouse. Brother, I love this stuff.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: But just to finish up on the piece I saw
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: again about with Brian Jundepp. Here he talks about the
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: response from many policymakers. Then this is about the declining
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: birth rates and how all this is being felt in
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: universities and elsewhere Right now, the response from many policymakers
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: has been predictable. Import more people immigration can increase population numbers.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: It cannot automatically create social cohesion, economic productivity, or cultural stability,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: as is evident in many Western countries. Unfettered immigration produces
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: the opposite. Across America, europolitical leaders increasingly appear to view
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: immigration as a substitute for declining native birth rates.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 5: It is not.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: A nation cannot substantially replace its future workforce by importing
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: non assimilating and culturally disruptive populations while simultaneously discouraging its
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: own citizens from forming families. The demograph of demographic crisis
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: extends beyond economics. For years, young Americans have been bombarded
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: with apocalyptic messages. They are told the planet is on
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: the verge of climate catastrophe. They hear predictions that future
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: generations will inherit an unlivable world. Active some activists openly
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: argue that having children is environmentally irresponsible. When people are
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: repeatedly told that the lack or that the future is bleak,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: some begin acting accordingly. Fewer marriages, fewer children, more social isolation.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: Then society wonders why fertility rates collapse. The irony is
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: striking the same political and cultural institutions that express alarm
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: about declining school enrollment, labor shortages, demographic decline often support
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: the very policies and narratives that contribute to those outcomes.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: Colorado's shrinking classrooms are not merely an educational story. They
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: are a warning sign. Empty desks today become unfulfilled jobs tomorrow.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Fewer workers mean slower economic growth. Fewer tax payers mean
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: an increasing strain on entitlement programs. Fewer families mean weaker communities.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: No civilization prospers by producing fewer children generation after generation.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Importing students or cheap labor may temporarily fill the gap,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: but the cost is the loss of social cohesion and
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: a shared purpose with eventual balkanization. The enrollment cliff is
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: not the disease, it is the symptom. The deeper problem
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: is a society that has steadily made family formation more difficult,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: more expensive, and less culturally valued. Eighteen years ago, Americans
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: had fewer children. Today colleges are discovering what that means.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: Demographic decline is Unlike most policy failures, what took a
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: generation to create cannot be fixed by the next election cycle.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: The real question is whether policymakers are willing to learn
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: the lesson before the next demographic cliff arrives. And that
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: is Brian Jundef. He's an optimologist in Colorado, travels the world,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: just has a great insight and has just been an
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: outstanding guest on some of the shows that I have had.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Speaking of guests, my next guest coming up after the
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: news here at the top of the hour is Daniel Turner,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Power the Future, and I've got a number of things
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: to talk We've got a number of things to talk
• 1:09:01

• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Owistowski at the bomb of the hour, Cheryl Chumley at eight,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: and then Adam Kaylor of Cincinnati Exchange at eight thirty.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: So a lot going on and I hope you can
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: stick around for it. It's Dan Carroll and for Brian
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: Thomas on fifty five KRC the Talk Station. We put
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: the app in happening, but that's what's happening station seven
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: o five on this Tuesday morning, fifty five KRC The
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Talk Station and Carroll for Brian Thomas. I always look
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: forward when I get a chance to talk to this
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: guy as we kick off our guests that we've got
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: this morning. Daniel Turner as the founder executive director of
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: Power of the Future. He lives in rural Virginia where
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: he's got a sheep farm, got some cows and dogs
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: and all kinds of animals out there. And Daniel Turner,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: I know getting up at seven o'clock in the morning
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: is no big deal for you. How you doing this morning, Dan?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: It's great to be on your program any time of
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: the hour.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I'm looking at your website and I
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: see video of you on set the other day with
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Stuart Varney, so that's kind of a big deal. How
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: is Stuart Varney? Seems like a really smart guy. How's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: he feeling about the economy right now?
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: I love going on his program.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: I love Thoughts business because I like looking at a
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: lot of these issues of just their impact on the market.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: Politics as a whole is great, right, Politics is fine,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 4: and we can always talk about it, but ultimately we
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: have to invest and grow our portfolios and pay our bills.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: And so I do love a Stuart Show for that reason.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: You know, what he's marveling at, which a lot of
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: us are, is that despite three months of this ongoing
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: conflict in Iran, the economy still seems pretty darn resilient.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: We added one hundred and seventy thousand jobs last month.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: You know, inflation ticked up a little bit, but we're still,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: you know, a quarter of where it was into the
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: Biden administration, So inflation is still very manageable. The price
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: of gas is definitely a pain, no one's going to
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: deny it, and it's way higher than anyone.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Wants it to be.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: But the economy is still chugging along, and it's a
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: great sign of resilience of.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: The American economy overall.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: I think about the early days of the Trump administration
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: the second time around, and almost on a daily basis,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: there was one announcement after another. You've got all these
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: different companies that announced these multi billion dollar investments. You
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: made the trip to Saudi Arabia, came back with all
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: kinds of investment pledges there that all that was going
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: to happen in the United States of America despite what's
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: happening in Iran right now, all those things are still
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: moving forward, are they.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: Not, absolutely?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: You know, and the investment is still taking off. The
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: repatriation of so many jobs, especially manufacturing jobs, is still happening.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, just look at what Elon Musk is building.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: He's building, you know, companies for ships, companies for transformers.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: He alone is creating thousands of really good working class jobs,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 4: just building his own factories for his own companies. Right,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: we need transformers for my rocket company.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to buy him in.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: China, so I'll build my own transformer company. I build
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: my own chips company. And that's happening across the board.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: The automotive industry is making huge investments in American manufacturing.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: People are going to say, well, yeah, they're doing that because.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Of the tariffs.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'll take it, right. I don't want to make
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: cars in Mexico, no offense to Mexico. Figure out your
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: own day in economy. I don't want to sacrifice American
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: auto manufacturing jobs to help your economy. I want to
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: build my economy. So to see even the investment of
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 4: the automotive industry putting more money into their plants in America,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: expanding their production in America, I think it's all a
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: great time.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: So when you talk about what's going on with Iran
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: right now, the straight of Horror moves and all the
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: rest of that, I just have this sense that that
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: that thing is just a giant boulder, that is that
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: is weighing on our economy as a whole. I'm not
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: only here in the United States but across the world.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: And if we can just get that thing squared away,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: then things are really going to start moving. As you
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: look at the situation relative to Iran right now, what
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: do you think the best case scenario is for moving
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: forward there?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: You know, we're paying this death by a thousand paper
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: cuts game, and Iran knows that they know that this
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: is painful for the American family, right with the really
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: high utility bills, high gas bills, that's ultimately trickling down
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: into the price of food, price of goods, and they're
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: just biding their time. You know, we could end the
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: Iran situation tomorrow if we wanted to just go in
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: and carpet bomb, but the President doesn't want to do that.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: You know, he hasn't touched their actual oil and gas
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: infrastructure because he wants them with a new regime, with
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: a democratic government. He wants them to rebuild their economy.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: He also wants to control the world's oil and gas
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: supply so that we don't have more rans in the future. Right,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: we don't have more Iatolas in the future. We don't
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: have more Ugo in the future. So he strategically hasn't
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: gone in willy nilly and just bombed the crap out
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: of the place. There's a frustration that people want him
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: to do that, but you know, he's going to need
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: the Iranian people to rebuild their economy and take back
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: their nation, and destroying them all and killing them all
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: isn't going to help with that. So it is a
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: huge burden on the economy once it is lifted. I
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: think prices will fall precipitously. We're not there yet, and
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: markets have hinted at it. Right the data President announces
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: that the ceasefire has been tentatively agreed to, oil prices
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: will drop ten dollars about all that day. The markets
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: want to get back to stable pricing, but a rand
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: knows that every time they decide to do a little
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: something or another.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: Oil prices tick back up.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: The president gets the bad headlines and we're back to
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: square zero. So, uh, it's a game of chicken right now.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: And I guess you know, every game of chicken is
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: who flinches first, and the president has not yet flinched.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It is so frustrating too, and it's
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: exhausting Daniel turning to try and keep up with all
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: the daily comings and goings of what's happening. Are the negotiations,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: There aren't negotiations. We're close to a deal. We're not
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: close to a deal. The regular everyday American person, it's
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: impossible to be able to keep up. Even with all
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: the flow of information we have right now, with the
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: Internet and whatnot, it's impossible to keep up with it all.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: So it's uh, it's yeah, yeah, it's just it's just
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: a horrible thing that that really threatens now because we
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: are getting ever closer to the election, and so these
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: two things are going to have an intersection, I think,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: and it's really I think going to it's it's such
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: just a huge available tool for the left and the
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: Democrats to use against Trump in the midterm elections. And
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know how the average voter is going to
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: be able to look beyond that to say there are
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: good things happening here despite what's happening with Iran. And
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: this thing could really wind up be in a millstone
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: around the neck of this administration.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: And I think, you know, the President is well aware
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: of that, but I get the impression that weighing all
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 4: of the different scenarios and weighing all of the intelligence,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: he has decided this is still the best course of
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: action for our country. You know, I tell people all
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: the time, We've paid it. We're paying a huge price
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 4: for this war, as the Democrats called President's war of Choice.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: We're paying a huge price. We're paying a huge price.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: We've been paying a huge price for Iran for forty
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: seven years. Right now, just go to the airport, Right,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: why are you taking off your shoes in your belt?
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: Why are you getting groped by TSA agents? It's because
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: terrorism is funded by Iran. Right, go to a baseball game.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: Why do you have to go through metal detectors? Why
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: do you have to have a bag search? Because terrorism
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 4: is funded by Iran. Every little you know ied twice
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: in New York City. In the same week, two IEDs
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: were thrown at Jewish crowds. That's funded by Iran. Right,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: we've gotten so complacent with the fact that we have
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: to live under this constant threat of terrorism that it
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: just becomes part and parcel of our Oh well, you know,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: ain't got to get there early to go through security.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't it be great if there were no security. Wouldn't
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: it be great if we didn't have to worry about
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 4: the threat of Muslim terrorists. I understand that Democrat presidential
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 4: candidates are going to capitalize on this for political purposes,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 4: but secretly, and they're just too chicken to admit it,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: they love this because they will inherit a world where
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: this is one less thing that they have to worry about.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: Past presidents give us boondoggles, right. President Obama gave us
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: his legacy of Obamacare boondoggle, and someone has to fix it.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: Biden gave us the open border boondoggle.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: Someone has to fix it. President Trump is fixing something
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: going into the future, you know, and the next president
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: God willing won't have to have at the presidential debate,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: Dan Carroll, looking at Iran, if you were the president,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: what steps would you take to ensure with some bs
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: made up, rehearsed answer for the fifteen second.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: SoundBite, maybe Iran is gone.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: Maybe we don't have to worry about obviously not the country,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: the terrorist threat is gone. That's a great thing to
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: think about of solving problems for the long term rather
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: than just continuing to perpetuate the misery. So, yeah, Democrats
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: are going to capitalize on this moment and it's probably
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: going to help them. But the next president will have
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 4: one less thing to worry about, and by god, shouldn't
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: that be the goal of the American president to make
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: life better for the next group coming in?
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but see what you just did right there. And
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I love to have you
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: on is because you take the next step beyond what
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: just the headline is. And when it comes to politics
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: in this country, when it comes to the messages of
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: people here, it hardly ever goes beyond the headline. And
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: when you look at this situation with that kind of clarity,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: I think it brings it, it really brings it into perspective,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Daniel Turner, we got to get to a quick break.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: Stay right there and we'll continue on in a jiffy.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: As we talk with Daniel Turner here on fifty five
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: krc DE talk station, keep.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 6: Listening for the next chance to win your way to.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: Our high station. Fifty five KRCV talk station, continuing our
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: conversation with Daniel Turner, A Power of the Future. Daniel Turner,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: one more question about Iran, and then I want to
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: talk about the seven hundred million dollars for coal here
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: in the United States. But the other component as it
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: relates to Iran, is the nuclear dust, the remaining you
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: riched in radium that you have there, and somehow, I
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: guess we want to bring that back to the United States,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: examine it, get rid of it, whatever the case may be.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: How complex is that. It's not like you just scoop
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: it into a five gallon bucket and put a lid
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: on it and bring it back to real estate. It
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't really work that way, doesn't.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: No, it doesn't.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: It's incredibly complex, obviously doable. You know, we run already
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: the America runs the world's largest nuclear arsenal, and it's
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 4: called our military, right and every one of our submarines
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: and destroyers and aircraft carriers all run on nuclear power.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: So we do have an incredible fleet of talented nuclear
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: technicians who know exactly how to do this. So it's complicated,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: but it is far from impossible. It's also the reason
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 4: why I constantly remind people not to be afraid of nuclear.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 4: You know, you hear the word nuclear and everyone jumps
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: to you know, these images of Chernobyl and they say
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: how dangerous it is. You know, right now, we have
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: a few million eighteen year olds who are bunking on
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: top of a nuclear reactor and they seem to be fine, right,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: And they're eight months underwater in a submarine, literally sleeping
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: on top of the nuclear reactor, and everything is going
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: hunky dory. So we should never be afraid of nuclear.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: And we've got really capable nuclear capabilities and tech and
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: and and expertise, so we can resolve this pretty quickly.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, we will see if that comes to pass.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: The other big article on your website Power of the Future,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: is the seven hundred million dollar boost that relates to coal.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: What exactly is that is really a seven hundred million
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: dollar injection into the coal industry. Is that really enough
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: to get whatever results are desired here?
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a huge start. And this is you know,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 4: this is the use of the Defense Production Act to
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: keep these these a couple of coal plants afloat.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: And what happened is right.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: And this goes back to the early Obama years when
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: Barack Obama, when Senator Obama was running for president, and
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 4: he said, you know, I'm not going to make coal illegal,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: but I'll tell you this. If you have a coal
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 4: plant and by president, you know, you're going to go bankrupts, right,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: And everyone applauded and said, hey, isn't that great what
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: we've done. What the what the Democrats like to do
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: is that they like to create regulations that just make
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: it impossible to have what legally you used to have yesterday.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: So if the new permit is is why tomorrow, the
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 4: permit is why plus five and you're the coal plants
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: and you say, well I can't achieve.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: That goal, well too bad.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 4: Then I guess you have to go out of business
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: or you have to pay these exorbitant fines, and then
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: the plant becomes inoperable because of the fines are so
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: exorbitant that they have to show down, and then people
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: like Barack Obama and Joe Biden have the gall to.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: Say, hey, that was shut down for financial reasons.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 4: Those coal plants were not making any money.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: It's because coal is expensive. Right.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 4: It's like if every time you bought a Big Mac
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 4: you had to pay an extra ten dollars, and then
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: the people at the Whopper were like, well, let's look
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: at that.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Whopper is just so expensive no.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 4: One can afford it. Well, yeah, government put a damn
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: tax on the big Mac, right, so there's nothing to
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: brag about. That's exactly what they did to the coal industry.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: So this seven hundred million dollars is helping we calibrate
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: that coal has kept our nation alive for one hundred
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 4: and forty years. This last winter storm that we had
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 4: that that was really pretty bad in the on the
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: East coast, coal is what continued to work. Our coal,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 4: our solar plants, where our solar farms were under snow,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 4: Our wind turbines were not blowing because they don't work
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: in negative temperatures. Right, it was coal that kept Americans alive.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: We need coal desperately. There is nothing you can look
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 4: if you just scan around your room right now, or
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 4: your car, wherever you are. There is nothing you can
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: look at that was not touched by coal. Coal makes
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: everything we need cold desperately. And so this is President
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 4: Trump just acknowledging the fact that we burn cole very
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: responsibly here in America, with none of the pollution, none
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: of the drawbacks, none of the emissions that the crazy
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 4: left has convinced us of. Coal is absolutely essential, so
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 4: let's celebrate it.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: Coal is essential. So let's celebrate that. And with that,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: Daniel Turner, we will let you go. As always, I
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: appreciate the time, and I'll look forward to seeing more
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: appearances on Fox Business News if people want to find
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: out more about you, where do they do that?
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: Always a pleasure to be with you, Dan Howerthefuture dot
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: Com and great to be with you, and hope.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 5: You have a great day.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Daniel Turner, Thank you so much. Have a great day,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: my friend, and we hopefully will be talking again before
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: too long. Seven twenty five and we've got Tom Zewistowski
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: coming up next here on fifty five krc V talk station.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 11: Call the Tree Expert Gregory Lester, a tree health surgeon.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 11: Greg helps all his clients improve their property with education, maintenance,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 11: and affordable care. See, you don't waste money on services
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 11: you don't need. Give your trees a new life called
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 11: Gregory Lester a Tree health surgeon, or visit Tree Health Surgeons.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 12: But talking about the people who built this nation that
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 12: we are so privileged to live in, that to me
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 12: is the best way to celebrate this year.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: You know, since you brought that up, what do you
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: make of all these different performers that were asked to
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: be part of the two hundred and fiftieth celebration and
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: then they decided, well, it's too political. When did that happen?
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: When did that happen that it's just to say happy
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: birthday America becomes a political statement.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: I remember it was back during the Colin Kaepernick days
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, he was taking a knee, and it
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: had all these perceived grievances whatever the case may be,
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: and the issue came about, you know, that people didn't
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: want to stand for the American flag, and I said,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: you know what, displaying the American flag should be the
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: least political act that you can do, because aren't we
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: saying that if we are displaying the flag or showing
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: our love for country that by doing that, we're recognizing, yes,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: we have political differences, but there's something bigger than our
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: politics that binds us all together because in the end,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: hopefully we all want what's best for America. But by
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: saying that's a political statement, I think it shows an underlying,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: an underlying motive for something else that is going on there.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 12: Well, yeah, and I mean unfortunately, I think if the
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 12: underhanging motive is an anti American sentiment, you know, these
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 12: people who've been indoctrinated and convinced that, you know, this country,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 12: we're not like what Barack Obama say, We're not exceptional.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 12: You know, we're not better than anybody else. Well, if
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 12: we're not exceptional, when I put on anybody else, how
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 12: come the whole entire freaking world wants to come here.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 12: That that lies your your your propaganda, and the other
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 12: part of it. What you're really touching on is the
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 12: idea of America. It's not whether we've fulfilled it or
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 12: not to your personal opinion, right, your personal the desires.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 12: It's the idea of America that people can self govern,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 12: that people can be responsible for their own lives, that
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 12: government should be limited.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: That's what we're.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 7: Celebrating, but you don't hear them talking about it.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 12: And that's what the problem is because people have lost
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 12: they think the country's politics.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 7: The country is not politics all.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 12: A matter of fact, our founders built the organizational structure,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 12: you know, townships and counties and states and all that
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 12: to make government the smallest it has ever been in
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 12: the history of the world because they knew government is
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 12: not good. You don't want big government, and we've kind
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 12: of messed that up in a big way and are
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 12: trying to work our way back. But it's the idea
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 12: of America that you should be talking about. And they
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 12: have the values and the and then the achievements. Like
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 12: I said, I mean, go to weed people Convention dot org.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 12: There's a button on there that says two and fifty
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 12: the anniversary, Celebrate and you'll see this banner that we
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 12: made that shows like pictures of you know, the space
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 12: shuttle and the iPhone and the locomotive and all the
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 12: achievements that America brought to the world.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 7: That's what we're celebrating, you know.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: And what you're saying right there was driven home earlier
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: this year when there's a an initiative that was put
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: out by the Department of Education, and then you had
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: the Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, and they were going
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: to go to one school in every state, one tom
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: one school in every state and bring a America two
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: fifty program to that school, and they were going to
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: talk about things like what like citizenship, about civic responsibility,
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: about you know, what makes America great. And so we
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: had a school. One of those schools, the one school
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: in Ohio was right here, Forest Hill School District, and
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: the the there were some parents that found out about
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: this and said, you know what, we can't have this
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: in our school. We can't have the one school in
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: the state was going to come here, have this celebration,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: give these kids a great educational opportunity. But yet the
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: school system said, no, that's too political. We can't have
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: that in our school. So that way of thinking is
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: ingrained into so many people, even at the local level.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: And that's what you know, you know, your buddy Andrew
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: PAPIs talks about it all the time. That's why you
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: got to pay attention to your local elections because these
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: are the kind of consequences that you.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 12: Get absolutely right, and it shows you, you know, really
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 12: the failure of those people to the ideas of America
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 12: and live up to them by saying, I don't care
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 12: what the parents say.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 7: You know, this is our country. These students need to
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 7: know this and we've got to do it.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 12: And you know, that's the problem with just you know,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 12: everybody can you know, wh two people can complain and
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 12: you shut down the concert, right, you know, that's just wrong.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 12: We're supposed to be majority rule, but protection for the minority. Unfortunately,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 12: we've moved into a world where it's minority rule and
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 12: that's chaos and that's why we're struggling.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: All right, Tom, stay right there. We got to get
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: to a quick break and we will continue on with
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: Tom Zowastowski of We the People Convention dot Org on
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRCV.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 11: Talks the Shaffac's Credit Unions Community Shred Day happening Saturday
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 11: June Chuck Ingram fifty five KRC.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: The talk station fifty five KRC the talk station. The
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: website is We the People Convention dot Org. The man
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: behind it is Tom Zowastowski, and here is our guest
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: this morning on fifty five KRC. All right, Tom acts,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: the property tax, I know is something that you've been
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: talking about quite a bit. I'm reading here that it
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: has fallen short to be on the November the twenty sixth,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: the November of twenty twenty six ballot. So where do
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: things stand now with the idea of axing the property
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: tax in Alile.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they had a press conference to announce that, you know,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 12: they they're not going to make you know, they were
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 12: trying to get six hundred and thirty thousand signatures so
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 12: they would have the four hundred and fifteen valid signatures,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 12: and people don't understand that. That's part of the problem
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 12: with these constitutional amendments is you've got to get a
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 12: lot more signatures than you need because people, you know,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 12: fill out the wrong name or they're just you know,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 12: they're just kind of placating you to sign it, and
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 12: the boards of elections throw those out, and so, you know,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 12: they just weren't going to make it, and you know,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 12: we predicted that. It's I'm one of the few people
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 12: alive in Ohio today who actually passed the constitutional amendment.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 12: I was the head of the Ohio Liberty Coalition when
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 12: we finally passed the Ohio Healthcare Amendment back in twenty eleven,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 12: and I know how hard it is. So the first
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 12: thing I want to say, Dan, I want to say
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 12: thank you to all of you listening who made the
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 12: effort to collect singers. You collected over three hundred thousand signatures.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 12: People don't understand what an amazing effort that is and
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 12: how patriotic that is.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 7: And you did another thing by doing that.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 12: You didn't maybe even to get in a ballot, but
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 12: you've kept this issue top of mind, and you've scared
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 12: the crap out of most of the people in the
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 12: legislature and in the Ohio government because they need to
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 12: understand they took way too much of our money when
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 12: they increased property taxes by thirty percent over a couple
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 12: of years, and they've got to address that.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 7: So that's now where the battleships. How do we address that?
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: How do what is your answer when so many say
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: that the local governments, whether they be townships, municipalities, county governments,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: rely so heavily on property taxes for a major source
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: of their funding, how do you go about replacing that
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: or finding other ways to to get that funding to
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: those local municipala, those local governments.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so from a constitutional standpoint and from the tea
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 12: Party viewpoint, which is my background, you know, as a
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 12: Tea Party leader. You know, we we've always felt that
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 12: property taxes are the worst tax you can have because
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 12: it's it's you know, you can't just buy your.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 7: Home and own it. You just got to keep lease
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 7: of it from the government. And you can see that.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 12: And he's doing a heck of a job at Florida
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 12: and they're going to get rid of it. It's happening
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 12: around the country. We will get that done here. But
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 12: the question is how do you do it. And the
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 12: problem with the axual house tax of just cold boom,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 12: it's all gone, cancel all of it, and you do
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 12: that in the November election and then they have to
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 12: implement it by January. There was tremendous chaos that that
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 12: would cost. So what I've talked to vivik Ramaswami Rob
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 12: McCauley about and presented them with is a form of
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 12: property taxes as a first major step, and that reform
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 12: package starts with we roll back everyone's property taxes to
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 12: twenty twenty before these big increases happened. The second step
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 12: of that was to control these local governments and particularly
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 12: school boards and school systems from adding property taxes on
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 12: by doing two things, and the legislator is already acted
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 12: on the first one. Our property taxes were attached to
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 12: property value, and what happened is our property values went up,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 12: and that's why our taxes went up. The legislature has
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 12: moved to tie it to inflation, not property value, so
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 12: that twenty percent inside millage number that people don't really understand,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 12: that slows way down when you tie it to three
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 12: percent inflation. The second part is the outside millage, which
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 12: is when your fire department, of your library.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 7: Even says we need more money.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 12: Let's put a ballot initiative on for the next election,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 12: and instead of a fifty percent vote, let's make it
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 12: a sixty percent vote so that some of the community
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 12: has to buy into it in a big way before
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 12: you tax everybody with a fifty one percent vote. And
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 12: then two more things, two more things. The problem in
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 12: Ohio is we're a very old state. When I was
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 12: doing the research for Avek and Rob and those guys,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 12: I was looking at, let's, you know, let's give seniors,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 12: you know, a break on property taxes.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 7: Holy cowder, we have a lot of seniors.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 8: We have like sixty percent of our homes are owned
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 8: by people's sixty five or older.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 12: So, so the deal is this though what we've we've
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 12: talked about and they've actually done analysis on it. We
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 12: think this reform package could not only roll it back
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 12: for everybody, okay, but then it would exempt anyone who's
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 12: sixty five or older who's been in their home for
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 12: fifteen years or more from ever paying property taxes on
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 12: that property again as long.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 7: As they're there.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 12: And we think that would be a huge benefit for
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 12: Ohio because we have so many seniors living on social
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 12: Security and things of that nature.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 7: And so the you know, here's the key component.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 12: Then this is the thing that I talked about this
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 12: and no one understands the real goal.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 7: Behind property tax reform. Is it really saving you money
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 7: in your property taxes. It's reforming our bloated local government.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 12: What this reform package would do instead of like wiping
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 12: out your township's budget, your fire department, you know, taking
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 12: it from you know to down to zero, what it
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 12: would do is give every government entergy in Ohio like
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 12: a nine percent haircut.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 7: Now what does that do?
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 12: That forces you to look at how do we save money?
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 12: How do we combine programs. How do we bring in
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 12: AI to do our accounting and saves the money. How
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 12: do we go from six hundred and forty freaking school
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 12: districts to maybe eighty eight and save like one hundred
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 12: and fifty billion dollars a year?
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 12: That forced reform is what I've tried to sell to
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 12: the theay because he's campaigning on reform. He's going to
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 12: make our schools the best. Our business is manufacturing the best.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 12: Are you know energy the best? Like you say, the
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 12: bank We learned from DOGE. If you don't take their
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 12: money away, they won't reform at all.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: But Tom, when you talk when you talk about when
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: you talk about doing those kinds of things, that takes
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: actual hard work, and people in an elective office are
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: are not interested in lifting a finger when it comes
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: to hard work like that. Wait, we got a break
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: real quick. Can you stick for one more segment? All right,
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: stay right there, We'll get right back to Tom z
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: Oastowski on fifty five KRC The Talk Station.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 9: Join John Roullman with kep From on fifty.
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: Five KRS the Talk Station. Just a couple of minutes
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: left here with Tom Zoastowski of we the People Convention
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: dot Org. Tom, what did you make of the FBI
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: announcement last week where they came in and talked about
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: the medicaid for announced they had made a number of
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: arrests thirty million dollars worth of fraud. The number keeps
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: getting bigger and bigger the more you look at it.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: And then lo and behold, we've got the administration talking about, well,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: we've combined our resources and we're working with the DOJ
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: now to crack down on all this fraud that's been
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: going on for decades that was simply appeared to have
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: been turned a blind eye to up until this this
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: DOJ announcement where they came out and actually decided to
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: do something about it.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 12: I watched that press conference and it was it was impressive.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 12: The DOJ people, you know, FBI, you know doctor Oz,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 12: all those guys.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 7: You know it because it is the right move.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 12: But the question I asked on my podcast is, yeah,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 12: so why wasn't this done before, you know, for the
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 12: last eight years of Republican control of everything?
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 7: And they really did a great job at that.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 8: Presscus of naming every Republican you're running for office about
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 8: how they've been so operative, and they're doing this and
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 8: they're doing that.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 7: But you know, we got to get to the bottom
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 7: of why the heck did it happen?
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 12: And I saw Dave Yost talked about he reported it
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 12: multiple times. We've had the Speaker of the House, Matt Huffman,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 12: say they passed legislation like eleven or thirteen piece of
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 12: legislation trying to fix it, and the Wine vetoed it. Well, okay,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 12: that's what Walls did in Minneapolis, right, that's what what
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 12: the their age you did in Minnesota.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 7: Is Mike the Wine going to be on the hook?
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 12: How can he not be on the hook if he
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 12: vetoed things that would have fixed this. I think the
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 12: story's got to be you told about how this happened,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 12: not just what we're going to do to fix it.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 7: I haven't heard enough of that, have you?
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not? I have not. And this notion that and
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: when you hear about these task force and all these
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: people running for cover and say, hey, uh, you know
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: we did this, this, this, and this, well, then then
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: this should if that's true. You may have known about it,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: but there wasn't any action taken. There was no steps taken,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't that long ago that the governor was
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: suggesting that it's racist to suggest that we've got, you know,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: a certain population that is big on ripping off the
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: federal government and Ohio taxpayers to the tunes of millions
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: of dollars. And I think we were also told that
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to see here and everything is under control.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: So it you know what the reality is. It doesn't
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: jibe with the earlier statements, and I think we need
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: a reckoning on that.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 7: We must demand it.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 8: We the taxpayers must demand, particularly in Ohio quote unquote
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 8: a red state, that we get to the bottom because
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 8: if it's happening here, oh my god, what's that like?
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: But you just said a red state, and you would
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: think we should expect better from those who are in
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: those positions to be able to do something about it.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: And it certainly appears. Look, I think David Yost is
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: great and and all the rest of them up there,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: but it certainly looks like they dropped the ball on
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: this one, and if they did, they need to own it.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah. The grades an F you got, an F you failed.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 7: That's the bottom line.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Tom. If people want to find out more
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: about you, where do they do that.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 12: We're on x at tom ZWTPC and I post on
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 12: Getter and True Social at tom ZWTPC and pretty much
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 12: all those places. But go to We the People Convention
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 12: dot orgon particularly watch our podcast. We do it once
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 12: a week. It's a weekly news summary. You'll learn a
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 12: lot from that.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: All right, we got to run, But do me a
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: favor and get that picture of Paul Krugman off your website.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: He's a miserable human being.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 8: I don't need to see his member forget. That means
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 8: why we are all going to vote in November. Play
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 8: that video over and over again. Tom, you're the best man.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 8: Great talking to you, and we'll do it again before long.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: Fifty five krc DE Talk Station, Good morning eight o
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: five On this Tuesday morning, June the ninth, Dan Carol
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: for Brian Thomas had a couple of great guests on already,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: and it is my pleasure to welcome in my next guest.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: I always love a chance to talk with Cheryl Chumley.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: And Cheryl Chumley is the online opinion editor for the
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: Washington Times. She's an author, speaker, does all kinds of stuff,
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: has a podcast called Bold and Blunt, and Cheryl Chumley.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: Good morning. It's great to have you on fifty five
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: KRC Dan.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 10: Good morning to you.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you. There is so many things to talk about,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: so little time.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 7: Are you.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: Are you happy that you've been assured by Gavin Newsom,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi that there's no funny business whatsoever
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: going on in the election there in California? All right?
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 7: Are you.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: Able to sleep knowing that that election is as pure
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: as the wind driven snow?
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah? Because you know if they say so, then it
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 10: must be true. And you can trust Democrats because you
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 10: know they're all about the fair elections. They're the ones
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 10: that are pushing the Save Act, for instance in Congress.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 10: So yeah, this is really curious, and a lot of
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 10: a lot of people are coming out and pining in
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 10: and showing statistically that the vote count now for this
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 10: socialist candidate who's come up from nowhere and unknown really
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 10: and taken over the second the second slot statistically, mathematically,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 10: it's impossible. So we'll see how the stories finally turns out.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your colleague Kelly Sadler wrote an excellent piece on that,
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: and I actually read it earlier this morning, and as
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: she lays out, just it is the notion that and
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: the thing is when when you look when you google this,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: you see the only headlines you see is, hey, this
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: election is taking a long time. But they told us
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: it was going to take a long time. So that
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: is how we're supposed to deal with this. Hey, we
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: knew it was going to take a long time, and
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: so we're just supposed to sit back and accept that
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: maybe they should be a model for the rest of
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: the country.
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, you know, this is the problem with moving
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 10: away from what we used to have in this country
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 10: called election day.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 6: And I've covered I came up through the ranks.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 10: Of covering local news, local small town newspapers, and on
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 10: election night, I know how the counts are supposed to
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 10: go because the various districts and the poll counters there
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 10: as soon as the polls closed, they would start counting
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 10: ballots and the reporters would assemble at the various districts
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 10: to report the numbers as soon as they came in.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 10: So the idea that California, being a big state, takes
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 10: several days to count, that's not true because they have
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 10: people broken down by district and you know, everybody has
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 10: their own little precinct where they go vote, so they
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 10: are fully able to count votes election night and report
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 10: the results within hours of polls cloning closing. They choose
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 10: not to because this is how Democrats win. They turn
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 10: election day into election week, election month, and so it
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 10: slides under the radar. People forget and their candidates always
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 10: curiously win.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I found it curious that the moment that
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: the Democrat candidate was ahead of the Republican candidate in
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles, as soon as that happened, the race was called.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: So now the races are. They're still hope for Tom
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: Steyer and the governor's race because you know, all the
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: ballots have and come in. Tom Steyer said, hey, I'm
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for all the ballots to get counted because
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: you know, his race hasn't been the side of yet.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: But the moment the Democrat moves ahead, that's when everything. Hey,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: you can you can rest assured now that we have
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: enough ballots and the Republican you know, in this case,
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: it loses out.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 10: So Dan, the same point you're just making, right. I
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 10: remember years and years ago, I mean up toil, like
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 10: I don't know fifteen twenty years ago, going on media
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 10: shows during election time, especially when results are pouring in
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 10: or from California and the Liberal states, and the same
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 10: points are being made because this is how Democrats operate.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 10: It's it's always count, recount, recount, keep counting until their
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 10: candidate pulls ahead, beats the you know, any any sort
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 10: of law that requires a runoff under a certain percentage,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 10: and then declares the votes counted. It just it defines
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 10: logic that the Left keeps getting by with this, and
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 10: something has to be done through the course to put
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 10: a stop it.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a shame on this level is that the
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: things that Spencer Pratt was doing were really some of
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: the most entertainment driven things that I have seen in
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: an election in a long time. And I've got a
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: friend of mine who works in Los Angeles, and I
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: told him I was envious because they're having so much
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: fun watching the campaign out there, and we only get
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: to look at it from afar. So it's a shame
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: that that sort of creative energy is going to be
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: taken out of that campaign.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and he's more than just about the funny videos
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 10: and the energized campaign he brings to the tables some
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 10: real issues that the real sort of common sense issues
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 10: that really, I think even Democrats out there with favor.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 10: They don't want homeless encampments in the street, they don't
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 10: want drug addicts roaming around. They don't want criminals, especially
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 10: illegal alien criminals, being let out time after time after time.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 6: To commit crime.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 10: So this is purely for the Democrat party leadership that
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 10: these sort of shenanigans go on at election time.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: How is it compassionate to say that if you're a
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: meth head and you've been doing meths for so long
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: that not only is your life destroyed, but your teeth
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: are falling out as well. And the only thing Karen
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: Baskin thing to do is to say, you know what,
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: We'll provide you some dental work if you're a meth head.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: What's compassionate about that?
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I know your question is rhetorical, right,
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 10: But because you're coming at it from a sane point
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 10: of view. And now we're dealing with Democrats. The party
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 10: leadership though is in charge. It's all about their own
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 10: personal power and ambitions and their voting base. Their voters
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 10: have become so deranged they're heavily medicated.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 5: They're told that.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 10: They can become boys and girls at will and whim
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 10: simply by changing clothes and taking certain medicine. It's all
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 10: about elevating the lunacy among their voting base. They're violent,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 10: they're deranged, and that's why common sense doesn't work when
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 10: you look at the party and what's going on.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the other issue is this guy in Maine, the
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: oyster Farmer. Whether or not he's really an oyster farmer,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But isn't it amazing to watch the
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: Democrats twist themselves and the pretzels to try and have
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: the moral high ground on this. Yeah, you know, look,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: the guy's a Nazi, but we need power in the
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: Senate and he's polling well, so it's okay, we can
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: accept this guy.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 10: Well on a scale of offenses, being a Nazi really
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 10: doesn't hit hard with Democrats because look at the anti
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 10: Semitic protests they allowed to go forth on college campuses
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 10: under Joe Biden, you know, and look at who they
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 10: elevate in Congress. They have some real loudmouthed anti Israeli
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 10: congressional members. The whole squad is about condemning Israel and
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 10: elevating the Palestinian cause. So Graham Flattner, the fact that
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 10: he has a tattoo that is has Nazi roots, it
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 10: isn't really hitting hard. It's all about beating Senator Susan Collins.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 10: That's what's going on in Maine right now. They don't
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 10: care who the candidate is for the Democrat Party. They
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 10: just want him able to beat Susan Collins.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the Democrats though, have put him on notice.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: And I was talking about the pieces that came out recently,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: one I guess, one on the Wall Street Journal, the
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: other in the New York Times with some of his
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: former girlfriends, and they talked about his poor behavior towards them,
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: and I guess verging on violence, if not violent behavior.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: And I said that, you know, this is a multipurpose piece.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: One because they want to have this hanging over his
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: head that if he if he falls out of further
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: disfavor with the Democrat higher ups, and they can drop
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: the hammer on this and say, look, the guy's bad news.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: We got to get him out of here. But then
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, it also inoculates him that if
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: any further information comes out the Democrats can go back
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: to the role of playbook and say, hey, this is
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: old news, and anyone who's talking about this is just
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: trying to score political points. So in that sense, it's
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: a multipurpose piece that serves a lot of interest here
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: for the Democrat part.
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 10: And you know, barring any real vicious, ugly crimes against women,
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 10: you know, I'm talking about rape or something like that,
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 10: Democrats really don't care because they can play that what
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 10: about game. They can point to Donald Trump and even
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 10: though many of the issues that were generated by women
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 10: against him were shown to be false. I'm talking about
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 10: Stormy Daniels, right, all that stuff, it doesn't matter. They
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 10: can point to Donald Trump and say what about him?
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 10: Republicans supported him even though he issues And they can
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 10: point to Ken Paxton out in Texas and they can
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 10: say what about him with his extramarital affairs. And so
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 10: there's a lot of cloak and shielding that can go
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 10: forth with Graham Platner's issues with women.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: All right, Cheryl Chumley, stay right there. We got to
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: get to a quick break, and we'll have one more
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: quick segment on the other side of this as we
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: continue fifty five KRC the talk stations w KRC since
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: in the talk station eight nineteen. On this Tuesday morning,
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: fifty five KRC the talk station, as we continue our
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: conversation with Cheryl Chumley from the Washington Times, it is
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: amazing to me that I still see articles today about
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: AOC possibly having chops to be to run for president
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: of the United States. How does that happen?
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 10: Because tomper who twenty years ago or in that time frame,
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 10: was the chief of the DNC, said that AOC was
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 10: going to be the future of the party. So not
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 10: only has she taken that to heart, so have all
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 10: the other Democrats socialists that are really Marxists right who
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 10: have come in and infiltrated and corrupted the Democrat Party.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 10: Eventually she will be making a run.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 6: I almost guarantee it, ah Man, that is unbelievable.
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: The media is making a lot right now of the
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: recent conversation that Donald Trump had with net and Yahoo
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: and trying to make an issue that maybe their relationship
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: is not as great as it could be. The whole
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: situation Cheryl with Iran right now, I think threatens to
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: be a huge issue, maybe a bigger issue than it
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: should be. In the midterm elections, and it just seems
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: that we're getting dangerously close to that intersection where we're
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to separate the two things.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: What say you as it relates to the situation in
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: Iran right now?
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, if you think like most voters in America right
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 10: with the kitchen table issues, it's all about gas prices.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 10: And you know, youth in particular youth who supported Trump
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 10: and mail, especially youth with males who supported Trump, are
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 10: having a hard time with gas and so are many families.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 10: So it's not that most in America pay attention to
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 10: the ins and outs of all the foreign affairs that
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 10: goes forth under this administration, including the war. It's how
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 10: it impacts them and if he can't put a speedy
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 10: end to this, which is going to be difficult because
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 10: Iran has no motivation to right, they know how our
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 10: election works, so they know all they have to do
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 10: is delay, delay, delay, and sooner or later Democrats will
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 10: be in charge and they won't have to bow down
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 10: to Donald Trump's demands, which are common sense anyhow, So
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 10: I ran as playing this game, and I think it
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 10: is going to have an impact on the mid terms,
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 10: particularly if Democrats start making it a bigger issue than
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 10: it already is.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Democrats will be back in charge and the
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: palettes of cash will start rolling in again. But I think,
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: you know, people lose sight of the fact that, you know,
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of what goes on has been going on
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: for forty seven years now and even longer, with all
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: the state sponsorship of terrorism and all the consequences that
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: that has had for the United States, and not to
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: mention the lives that have been lost along with that.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: So it and look, it really it gets exhausting. I
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: know it gets exhausting for me trying to keep up
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: with the daily comings and goings of what's happening there.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: And I think for the average American who is trying
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: to raise a family, make ends meet, go to work
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: every day, all the rest of that, it's I think
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: it's difficult for most Americans to really look beyond the
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: headlines of any of this kind of Well.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 10: President Trump is the only pro in decades who has
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 10: had the courage to hit Iran head on, and the
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 10: Democrats don't give him any credit for that. As a
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 10: matter of fact, they turn it against him, and they
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 10: pretend like Irene hasn't been waging war and killing Americans
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 10: as well as our allies, especially in Israel for decades now.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 10: And it all becomes for Democrats, which is their low
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 10: information voter base, right, it all becomes about paying a
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 10: dollar more at the gas pump. And the media helped
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 10: because the media don't put in proper context high hundred
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 10: Joe Biden, we were paying at times more for gas
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 10: than we are now for no reason except for Joe
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 10: Biden's abysmal economic policies.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: Well, come on, you know that was Putin's price, Like,
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: you know that was Putin's That wasn't Joe, wasn't Joe
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: Biden's fulk How much are the Democrats unhappy now with
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: doctor Jill going around and telling all these falsehoods about
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: what really happened during the Biden administration.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah, she's made a couple of astonishing admissions. Actually, you know,
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 10: she's got a book, The Ditch. So Democrats very understanding
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 10: when it comes time to pitch your book so you
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 10: can make your millions, so you can turn around and
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 10: talk about how millionaires ought to pay more than their
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 10: fair share.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: Do you know people that actually buy these books from
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: the I mean, like like Kamala Harris book. I look,
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not reaching into my wallet for that one. I'm
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: not going to be Biden buying the Jill Biden book
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: or the Hunter Biden book. The people really buy these
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: things that.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 4: You know of.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 10: Nobody I know buys these types of books, Michelle Obama,
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 10: Jill Biden, even Hillary Clinton. But I think they get
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 10: their friends in nonprofits and things like that to buy
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 10: them in bulk and then have them come and make
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 10: speeches for exorbitant fees.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: It's I guess it's a great a great gig.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 6: If you can get it, great gig if you can
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 6: get it.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: All right, Cheryl Chummley, we got a run. But as always,
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: I want to thank you for the time. And if
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: people want to find out more about you and your
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: podcast and all the rest of it, where do they
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 10: Washington Times and I have a great one with Mike
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 10: Hewitt coming out today to put in context all the
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 10: Iranian war issues.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: All right, Cheryl Chumley, thank you so much, have yourself
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: a great day, and I certainly look forward to the
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: next time we get a chance to talk again. And
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: there you go. Cheryl Chumley from The Washington Times, eight
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: twenty five, and we've got Adam Taylor from the Cincinnati
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: Exchange coming up after this on fifty five KRC, the
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: talk station.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: The Simply Money Man. It is sponsored by Share.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: Talk Station fifty five KRC, the talk station eight twenty
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: nine on this Tuesday morning. I have said it before,
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: I'll say it again. The Cincinnati Exchange is the website
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: where you will find information about Cincinnati and stories about
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati that you find really nowhere else. And the guy
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: behind it all is Adam Taylor. And Joe do we
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: have Adam? We lost him. I looked up on the
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: screen there a little while ago. We had him, but
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: we don't have him right now. So Joe is going
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: to try and make contact with him again. And Adam
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: Kaylor I was talking yesterday about this piece that he's
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: got in the Cincinnati Exchange and we were talking with
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: Chris Smithaman about crime in Cincinnati and the reporting of crime,
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: and the headline is this is crime down in Cincinnati
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: or have we simply stopped reporting? And Adam Kaylor writes this,
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati's crime statistics show improvement in several categories, but reported
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: crime and actual public safety are not necessarily the same. Thing.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: This piece examines how underreporting change public expectations. Population shifts
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: in political incentive can create a gap between official numbers
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: and residents lived experiences. As fewer incidents get reported and
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: fewer people demand accountability, crime statistics may only tell part
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: of the story. And with that we say good morning
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: to Adam Taylor and Adam how are you doing this morning?
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 6: Hey, Dan, good good.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: We've been hearing this. It seems like a treadmill every
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: time we have an incident, either in downtown Cincinnati or
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: in greater Cincinnati. We had another shooting, another death last night,
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: we hear the same refrain from those at city hall
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: that hey, the city is safe, and come on down,
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 1: everything is just fine. Look at the numbers. Look at
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 1: the numbers, and the numbers tell you that things are
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 1: really moving in the right direction. But what I think,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: what you're saying here is that we really need to
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: look beyond the numbers, or at least the headlines anyway.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean, and there's an actual department in
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 6: the government that actually tracks crime statistics that have gone unreported.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 6: It's the US Department of Justices National Crime Victimization Survey,
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 6: And they actually say that about half of violent crimes
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 6: are actually reported each year, eleven point two out of
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 6: one thousand versus twenty three that actually happened. And then
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 6: on top of that, you've got this reclassification. You remember,
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 6: when Corey Bowman was running for mayor, there was a
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 6: place downtown that got shot up with a bunch of bullets,
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 6: and they classify that now as property damage. And imagine
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 6: if three or four houses get hit, is it just
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 6: the one house because it was the one incident, or
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 6: is it you know, the three houses or whatever they
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 6: get hit, or is it just you know, one case
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 6: of proper party damage. It's absolutely insane, and that's how
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 6: a lot of I think these these kind of far
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 6: left cities and these progressive mayors, you know, like Cincinnati.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 6: You know, we have a monopoly of Democrats running city
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 6: council and obviously our mayor is as well. And you've
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 6: heard a lot of the rhetoric from them where they
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 6: wanted to defund the police at some point in their careers,
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 6: and now that's become unpopular. Largely, you know, they want
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 6: bail reform, they want all this criminal justice reform, but
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 6: there's rarely ever any talk about helping victims or encouraging
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 6: victims to come forward. And in many communities like the
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 6: one I grew up in Price so people keep their
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 6: mouth shut. You know, there's a no snitch code. Nobody
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 6: wants to talk about it. You're supposed to keep quiet.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 6: And how many of those incidents are there around the city?
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 6: I mean, is that why they keep telling us crime
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 6: is down?
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you had a piece in Cincinnati Exchange just a
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: few days ago to talking about what's happening at the libraries.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: Local twelve did a piece on this Cincinnati library and
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: say violence threats are hurting morale and safety at branches.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: It seems to me that this is an area of
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: underreporting as well, what's happening in Cincinnati public libraries. And
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: now you combine that with the idea that we have
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: a juvenile court judge who has it has dawned on
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: her that the bright idea is that when I guess
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: you know, young criminals come before her, her idea is to,
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: instead of have any real punishment, to tell them to
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: go out and get a library card and head to
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: the library. And I don't know if you can connect
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: the dots here between is sending offenders into the library
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: and then people who work at the library reporting that
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: they feel threatened on a regular basis.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean when you believe the narrative, when
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 6: you believe that, you know, crime is down, and you
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 6: look at these numbers and you know, you see the
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 6: charts people tell you. I mean, you know, you're you know,
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 6: I'm on X a lot, and you know they you know,
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 6: there's people out there that come to the rescue of
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 6: city council every time I bring up another incident of
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 6: crime in the city, and they always put up the
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 6: same chart where it shows crime dropping. Well, I mean
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 6: the problem is is all the good people are leaving.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 6: They're all moving out to the suburbs. And I look
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 6: at the latest statistics. You know, Cincinnati actually lost residents
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 6: last year. And who are those residents? Those are residents
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 6: that are sick of the crime. They're sitting. They don't
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 6: want to go downtown to the library.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 4: You kill me.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 6: I mean that was my library growing up. I mean
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 6: I went to the School for the Creative Informing Arts
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 6: and the only way I could get on a computer
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 6: was to go under the library. And when you're you know,
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 6: you go there first, you have to get through an
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 6: onslaught of homeless people who are standing out in the front.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 6: Hopefully you don't get into a fight or get robbed
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 6: out there. Then you get into the library, you got
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 6: unruly kids acting up, and of course, I mean you're
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 6: going to give a bunch of kids that are getting
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 6: in trouble library cards, and then the people they don't
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 6: like show up at the library. Next thing, you know,
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 6: there's going to be problems downtown. I mean, you know
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 6: there's there's a growing gang problem in Cincinnati, and you
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 6: always had, you know, things like kids from one school
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 6: don't like kids from another school, or kids that have
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 6: had problems with another kid at school, they end up
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 6: seeing them at the library. Of course they're going to
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 6: get into a fight. So there has to be something
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 6: for these kids that I mean, we grew up the
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 6: same way, you know, the kids having problems, but I
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 6: mean the violence, the level of violence, and the brazenness
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 6: of these these type of acts, I mean, getting into
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 6: fights inside of a library of all places, and and
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 6: these church vessels. I mean, you saw what happened in Toledo,
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 6: you saw what happened in Columbus, it happened in Kansas
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 6: City two days ago. You got these teen takeovers. I mean,
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 6: that kind of stuff never really happened when you were kids.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 6: It's just the level that these young people are going
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 6: to now and committing adult crimes and uh and the
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 6: violence they're willing to go to. It's it's absolutely insane.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 6: And where are they learning this from? I mean, is
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 6: at home?
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 6: The politicians making constant excuses for people. You know, you're
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 6: you're you're only you're only bad because of the system.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 6: You're oppressed, so you know, nothing you do is actually bad.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 6: It's all because you know you don't have this or
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 6: you don't have that, and you know a lot of it.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 6: A lot of times it goes back to no fathers
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 6: in the house. You know, you say it over and
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 6: over again, But what do you do about it?
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 1: All right, Adam Taylor, stay right there. We got to
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: get to a quick break and then we'll continue on
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: here on fifty five KRC the Talk Station. Not every
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 1: Chimney system is the same. Atty five k RCV Talk
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 1: Station fifty five KRC the Talk Station eight forty. On
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 1: this Tuesday morning, Dan Carroll for Brian Thomas talking with
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: Alan Adam Taylor of the Cincinnati Exchange, and he's written
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: a piece about reporting crime here in the city of Cincinnati,
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 1: and one of the sections of your piece you talk
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: about another reality that is is that is worth acknowledging,
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: is that many people have personal, professional, or financial reasons
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 1: to emphasize positive news. And I get this a lot
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: because people hear me talking on the radio, people that
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 1: are listening to our conversation right now are saying, you
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: know what, look, these two are being a little heavy
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: handed on this that the this is simply the perception.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: The reality is a lot different. If you come downtown,
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: things are safe. I don't feel threatened when I come downtown.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 1: I hear these arguments thrown at me a lot from
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: people who who do go downtown, who have good experiences.
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm not sitting here saying that those things do
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: not happen. But we also have the reality of crime
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 1: that happens in the city of Cincinnati. And I don't
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: think we've had a city council that has looked at
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: this and tried to deal with this in a meaningful
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 1: way for a long time.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 6: No, No, they don't. I mean I think there's you know,
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 6: you've obviously got incentives from you know, groups that have
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 6: been trying to revitalize downtown since then. I mean, this
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 6: is a thing that's been happening in a lot of
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 6: cities around the country. You know, they're trying to strengthen
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 6: the urban or if you don't have a strong urban core,
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 6: the rest of your city fails. Eventually your suburbs die out.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 6: So you know, you've got a lot of people leave
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 6: in the city and they're moving out and there. They
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 6: just don't feel like they're being heard. They feel like
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 6: they're being brushed off.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: And if you're a.
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 6: Small business downtown of course, you know Procter and Gamble, Kroger,
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 6: those people, you know, they're not leaving. But the whole
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 6: reason that they you know, three CDC came in and
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 6: rehabbed a lot of over the Rhine, especially at Vine Street,
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 6: was to attract those young, you know, white collar workers
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 6: to places like p ANDNG and Kroger. You know, people
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 6: want to be able to live in a city where
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 6: they can walk around and have a good time. But
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 6: when you know, when they're shootings at restaurants downtown on
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 6: Fountain Square and then you come to find out that
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 6: the perpetrator was let off, you know, crazy things that
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 6: you know, shouldn't be happening that are happening in your city,
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 6: especially in the areas where the investment was. I mean,
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 6: I've got friends who, you know, purchased apartment buildings in
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 6: the West End and now they're looking to sell those
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 6: and nobody wants to buy him right now. And you know,
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 6: it puts people in a tough spot. You say, hey,
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 6: investors come into my city and you know, buy an
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 6: apartment building for this, you know, supposed lack of housing.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 10: That we have.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 6: Well, then people come in and they buy those buildings.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 6: There's a shooting outside or the park, something happens at
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 6: the park, or you know, it seems like it's always
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 6: at the park. I don't know why people decided to
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 6: shoot people and do crazy things at the parks, but
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 6: that's where they're doing it.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's why. That's where the shooting was last night,
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: right across the street from the park. But then we
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: have It's been one year since Patrick Harringer was killed
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: in his home on East mcmcckinonn Avenue, and just the
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: other day, his wife, Sarah Herringer, announced that she's suing
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: the city for a wrongful death lawsuit. Her attorney Todd McMurray.
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: McMurtry was on with Cunningham the other day and he
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: was talking about how Cincinnati police have stopped doing pro
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: act to policing and so, and he was making the
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: case that, look, we don't stop people for small violations,
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: for simple things, traffic violations, things like that, things that
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: seem innocuous. But in many, many cases, when you stop
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: someone for something smaller, it can lead to finding out
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: maybe someone that has a warrant, someone that may be
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: illegally in possession of a firearm or drugs, whatever the
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 1: case may be. So that sort of things has come
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 1: to an end. And that's the sort of thing that
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: allowed this criminal with the ankle monitor on to cut
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: Mordecai Black to cut off an ankle monitor, enter his
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: home and stab this guy to death. And this is
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 1: the very kind of person that you were talking about
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: that was involved in having a small business in the
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: in the urban core and doing what he could to
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 1: help with the revitalization of that area. And he paid
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 1: with it for it with his life.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 6: And that's the type of couple we want to bring
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 6: down there. And not only that they ran a healthcare business,
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 6: you know, they ran a GM and they're getting our city,
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 6: you know, healthier. I mean, you know the amount of
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 6: Skyline Chili I eat every week? I need to be
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 6: going to the gym, right. But it's it's these crazy problems.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 6: And I mean she now she's going to sue the city,
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 6: and who's going to pay for that? Is city council
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 6: going to pay for it? Does this judge given these
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 6: kids library cards?
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 4: Is she going to pay for it? No?
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 6: There's never any accountability for these people. And it's I
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 6: think it all stems back from from academia. There's there's
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 6: a group of people that always think they're going to
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 6: solve the crime problem. Every generation coming out of the
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 6: criminal justice schools. You know, I'm going to be the
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 6: one to figure it out. I'm going to reduce recidivism rates.
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 6: I'm going to do this, And they essentially Cincinnati is
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 6: a giant test market for uh, for these ideas.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: Yea, these people have how's that? How's that working out?
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: How's that working out for you?
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 6: They won't stop. Every generation thinks they're going to be
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 6: the one, you know, and you've got these professors that
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 6: you know, they don't want to they don't want to.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: Do anything with these criminals.
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 6: They they want to take on them, right, they want to.
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 6: It's it's that's all it is. And nobody has ever
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 6: held accountable. And you know, Sarahringer is gonna gonna show
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 6: everybody that you know, she was a victim of her
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 6: husband died. I mean, it's absolutely insane. And think about that.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 6: That's that's the case that everybody knows about. Everybody saw.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 6: But I mean, there's over sixty homicides in Cincinnati every
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 6: single year. How many of those do we ever hear about?
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 6: How many of those people ever sue the city for
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 6: letting a criminal out on the street multiple times? We
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 6: just had a guy in court yesterday jump out of
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 6: a wheelchair, histol whipped, his girlfriend, flees the scene, runs
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 6: from the cops, runs into cars as he's fleeing from
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 6: the police, gets out of the car, they arrest him.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 6: He's got meth, cocaine, and other drugs in the car.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 6: Then he goes to court yesterday. They got him in
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 6: a wheelchair like he's the victim. Then he jumps out
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 6: of the wheelchair, starts fighting the bailiffs Like that's the
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 6: kind of guy you're talking about. Get him off the street.
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable. Adam, you got time for one more
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 1: quick segment? Yeah, all right, all right, stay right there
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 1: and we'll get to that right after this.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 13: On fifty five krs the talk states Cheffak's Credit Unions,
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 13: five krs the talk station, fifty five krs the talk
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 13: station coming up on eight fifty we're talking with Adam
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 13: Kaylor from the Cincinnati Exchange.
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: And Adam on another issue. I don't know if you saw.
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: City council had a meeting yesterday where all the council
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: members got to come in and talk about the different
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 1: funding earmarks they want for different projects, and I guess
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: you know, they're different groups and all this sort of thing.
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: Mark Jefferies was apparently the only one who talked about
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: infrastructure jobs, and he said he wants four point five
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 1: million for street paving, a million dollars to remove some
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: lead paint I don't know from where, seven hundred and
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars to combat storm water damage. Council member
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: Wall said he wanted three hundred thousand dollars for an
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: engineering study of the Purple People Bridge. And I'm thinking
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: to myself, well, wait a minute, don't we have money
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 1: from the railroad fund. Isn't the railroad fund supposed to
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: be used to address issues like that, like bridges, like streets,
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 1: like infrastructure, which to my way of thinking would include
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: storm water. Isn't that where money like that is supposed
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: to come from.
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 6: That's exactly where that's supposed to come from. All that
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 6: sounds like infrastructure to me, and that money was set
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 6: aside to only be able to be used on infrastructure projects.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 6: So where is that money coming from that they're asking for.
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 6: I mean, it should be coming from that railroad fund.
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 6: I mean they've got, you know, over you know, a
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 6: billion and a half dollars in that railroad fund, and
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 6: you know, we shouldn't be paying for that at this point.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 6: That thing should be to be paying us. It's just
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 6: absolutely insane and the most absurd thing I think they've proposed.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 6: They have this group inside of in city Hall that
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 6: came up with this climate migrant plan.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 4: Have you seen that?
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 1: I have not seen that climate. I wrote an article
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 6: It's it's last second to the last article I've written.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 6: But it's all about how in twenty fifty there's supposed
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 6: to be all these people that are going to flee
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 6: the coastal areas because the temperatures are going to get high.
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 6: There's going to be you know, floods. You know, they're
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 6: all going to be underwater in Florida. So they all
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 6: are going to come to Cincinnati. So they've come up
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 6: with this plan on increasing housing, updating our infrastructure, and
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 6: all this for these these hypothetical people who are going
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 6: to move to Cincinnati. Dam people left Cincinnati. The only
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 6: we had negative domestic migration in Cincinnati. People who were
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 6: born and raised in America left Cincinnati. The only reason
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 6: we didn't lose more people is because of the open borders,
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 6: because you had all these migrant people coming in and
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 6: they you know, obviously sanctuary City let them all in.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 6: Those are the only people. So you're already not attracting
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 6: people who are from America to come to Cincinnati. You've

  Speaker 6: the crime problem. On top of that, we got potholes.

  Speaker 6: sitting in this fund and you can't fix these basic
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 6: problems people ask you for. Nobody asked for a climate
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 6: migrant plan.

• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati's Climate Migrant Plan reveals a bigger problem at city Hall.
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: It just it is amazing to me that anyone at
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: City Hall would sit around and waste their time coming
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 1: up with something. I love the AI picture that you
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: got up there too, illustration.
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 6: Cases towards Cincinnati.
• 2:16:51

• 2:16:57
  Speaker 1: shining gem of the city of Cincinnati. Adam, we gotta
