• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Happy Friday, some say, will.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: A vacation promise it is. You know it's Friday because
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Josh shir Straker hit the woo hoo button. He's execut
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: producer of the fifty five car Se Morning Show. Money is
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, host of the fifty five Carsey Morning Show.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: And I always appreciate facilitation and uh which means phone calls.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Phone calls are great here on the fifty five Carsite
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Morning Show five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty two
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to three Talk fifty on AT and T phones. Yes,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you heard it, Congress more and Davidson yesterday said warp,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: well you need ah, you need a declaration of war
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: which comes from Congress. And he made good on that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the other day yesterday commenting on X he was on
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the program. Yes, so you can find a podcast fifty
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: five cars dot com. He's requested a classified briefing on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the mission in Iran, and he said he intended to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: back a War Powers resolution when it gets to the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: House floor next week. Barring any new information. War requires
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: congressional authorization. There are actions short of war, but no
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: case has been made. That's basically what he said here
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in the fifty five Cars Morning Show yesterday, made good
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: on it, letting the world know if they hadn't listened
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to the podcast or listened to him live here. Apparently,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the House Democrats are expected to force a vote next
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: week which will prevent Trump from launching nuclears or new coup.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That was a slip of the tongue, wasn't It didn't
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: mean that strikes generally without getting congressional consent, launching and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: waging a war against the country with whom we have
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: no outstanding You know, there's no outstanding threat except generalized threats.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Although I did point out the other day the State
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of the Union address worrying about something that sounded like
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: w that someday we need to be concerned about Iran
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: being able to well create a missile that can fly
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: six thousand miles and hit US. Commentators and experts in
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the know on that say that that's a long way
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: away now. It doesn't mean that it will represent a
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: challenge down the road. We don't have it now. So
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the next the resolution kind of question mark whether it's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: going to actually pass. Davidson co sponsored the resolution with
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: who do you think co sponsored the hold On, hold On,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: hold on. That's why they make a cough button. Apologies.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Thomas Massey is the answer. If you had Thomas Massey,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you're the winner. Anyway. The only the other other House
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Republican who's out lowed said he's going to back it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: A couple of Democrats and get a load of this.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Josh Gothen Gotheimer and Jared Moskowitz indicated that they're going
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to break with their party, which would be you must
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: have a well a declaration of war from Congress, break
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with their party vote against the bill. Why well, Gothheimer's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: described as a staunch ally of Israel. That's exactly right,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: claiming that Trump needs flexibility to address the Iranian threats
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to Israel. Israel's got the eminent threat issue. It can
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: maybe out loud state that with a straight face and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: make a good case for it. That Iran definitely represents
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: an existential threat to Israel because their missiles actually can
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: reach Israel. Yeah, are we going to war for that?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: The mere threat that it deposes against Israel? Congr's some
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Davidson says no anyway. Gothharmer, in a joint statement with
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Mike Lawler, Republican. So long as death to America remains
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a rallying cry of the Iranian regime, Iran will remain
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a persistent and serious threat to our Men and women
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in uniform are allies and global stability. Men and women
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in uniform who are there on military basis that we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: can try. We're in foreign lands that are not ours.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: That's a reality that goes on all around this globe.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Does that provide I'm asking out loud, does that provide
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a pretext for us to get into a global conflict?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: The threat that is there because the missiles can theoretically
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: reach our bases, I should they launch them. Yes, of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: course they can reach our bases. But that reality exists.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I think literally everywhere around the world, We've got bases
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: all over. Check out a global map and see where
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: our military presence is. So everywhere there's a military presence,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: or even one might argue a business interest, a United
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: States business interest, we have to protect the assets in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the United States. It does provide a convenient pretext, doesn't it. Anyway?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I was glad to hear Congressman Davidson on that particular topic.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So I have one that's obviously looming large as the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Iranians apparently rejected the proposals yesterday, although they did say
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the officials came out of the Geneva conversations between the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: United States and Iran saying that there was significant progress.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Yet there's that word, however, yet they described the third
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: round as positive. Iranian state television also reported that Tehran
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: will continue enriching radium and did reject proposals to transfer
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it abroad. According to the Associated Press, reports claimed Iran
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: would also push for lifting international sanctions. I e. Not
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: prepared to meet President Trump's demands. So it's not giving
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: up on enrichment. It's going to continue a riching iranium,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and it rejected the proposals to transfer what it's got
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: outside of the country. Those are two things that we've
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: been demanding. They say no, and this sounds like childish negotiation.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Fox News reported on it. I'm just taking it for
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: what it's worth. The negotiations were carried out primarily indirectly,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: with Omani Foreign minister, a guy named Batter albu Sati
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: relaying messages between the two sides. It's like the telephone game.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Well we'll talk to We'll talk to the Omani foreign
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: minister will give him the message to take to the Irunians.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: What they can't sit in a room together, they can't
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: talk face to face again children, No media public statement
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: from the United States or Iranian officials immediate public statement.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: These are all again reports, So status quo. I guess
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I just kind of wondering whether that the pause and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the promise of yet another round of talks in some way,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: shape or form, buys Donald Trump some leeway given the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: red lines that he has painted on the If Iran
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't capitulate to our demands, doesn't promise to completely eradicate
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and give up its nuclear enrichment program, does not promise
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to remove all enriched uranium from their country, then we're
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: gonna go to war. That's bottom line, boiled down to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: what he said. So well, we're not gonna launch missiles yet,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna continue to discuss. I like that posture
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: better than while waking up in the morning to come
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: here into the studio and seeing that we have started
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: dropping bombs on the Iranians. Anyhow, what else is going on? Oh,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: it's got under my skin this morning. Let me just
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: ask you out loud. I don't really think that the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: State of Ohio's will wash and cash. We all struggle
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: with budgetary issues as we contemplate perhaps getting rid of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the property tax. But if you had a billion dollars
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: laying around a billion dollars here in the state of Ohio,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: now come up with a list of things that you
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: think that money should go to. Where would a responsible
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: politician allocate a billion dollars? Would you sprinkle it over
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: different programs, would you, I don't know, use it to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: offset our personal tax liability? Would you I pick something?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Because clearly there's an unlimited list of things that people
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: generally want government to do or think government is capable
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of providing to us. And there's never enough money to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: fund all of those different programs, now, is there? Someone's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: always going well wait, wait, okay. So we deal with
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the reality of an infinite number of claims or demands
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we could assert or ask of government, and a finite
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: amount of dollars. Ergo, something's got to be put on
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the back burner or deny. I'm talking a billion dollars,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a thousand million dollars. What's on your list? No, it's not, Joe,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: he knows exactly where I'm going on. This is our
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: sports stadiums are your list? No thanks, Dad, mission Man.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Should Akron Baseball LLC get almost two million dollars of that?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Should the Should the Cleveland Browns get six hundred million
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of it?
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: No?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Thanks? Let's see here. Should uh FC Cincinnati Holdings LLC
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: get one hundred and thirty six million dollars for the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Tiquo Stadium Expansion project?
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: No?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Should Hamilton County get two hundred and thirty four million
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: dollars to renovate the CINCINNTI Bengals pay Course Stadium.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: No?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Just three or four items on the list of hands
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in the cookie jar, because Ohio says it is set
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: aside a billion dollars in grant money from the state's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: unclaimed funds to go to sports. Ohio Sports Facility Grant
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Program offering organizations the opportunity to apply for funds totaling
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: up to twenty five percent of of a projects expected costs,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: with a cap of two hundred and fifty million dollars,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: which kind of makes you scratch your head over some
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of the asks in here, But I was thinking of
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I think it was Jay that called the other day
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: who was lamenting this. The the the high school stadiums
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: out there in the world that are all building these
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: opulent facilities that you know probably should be on a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: professional level build, but at least college type stuff. As
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I see Miami Universities planning on putting building a two
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plus million dollars new sports facility on
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: their campus, I suppose it's the university's right to do that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: They can make their own choices, just don't ask me
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: for any of my money to do it. There's a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of them on here. I mean hockey, minor league, hockey,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: ice arena, new safety mats for the monkey business parker
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: batting cageacilities up in Sandusky, for the Sandusky County base bandits,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the Atomic Speedway Foundation fourteen and a half million dollars
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to redevelop and expand the Atomic Speedway in Ross County.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Toledo Mudhens asking four point four million dollars to renovate
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the fifth third field. They got naming rights on that one.

• 12:28
  Speaker 8: Hi.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe he'll chime in on the awesomeness of giving a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: billion dollars away for sports facilities here in Ohio. Let's
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: see what Lawrence has got. Lawrence, welcome to the show.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday.
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: Hey, Brian, how you doing this morning?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It's Friday, brother. I am always in a pretty good
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: mood on Hey.
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: I heard you on that. Hey, I want to bring
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: something else up that you probably saw yesterday, and that's
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: the extension of the investigation of our police chief.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, extensions.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: It's crazy, Lawrence.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: How long are they going to investigate why they put
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: her on administrative leave since apparently they had no reason
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to put her on administrative leave and had to hire
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a law firm out to find a reason by going
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: through her thirty year law enforcement background to see if
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: there's something in there that they can now retroactively hang
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: their hat on, right, Lawrence.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: That's what it looks like, Brian. I mean, here's the thing,
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: like if the police chief, you know, and I don't
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: want to get like two technical, but she's making about
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: two hundred and three thousand dollars a year, right, yeah,
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: so something like that right about she's been on leave
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: at least it's like the end.
• 13:36
  Speaker 11: Of October, yes, sir, maybe, and.
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: Like now we got it exits until martch thirty. First.
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: I mean the chief is not I don't dislike the chief, Okay,
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: I will get from a financial staffy the taxpayer. I mean,
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: if we're giving her what a quarter of her salary
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: for just stay at home? Yeah, that puts it about
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: what you give it her fifty thousand dollars plus well
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: forty nine that was given to a law firm. It's
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: ninety nine. There are six figures right down.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And don't overlook the fact that we have to pay
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the new chief, the interim chief. I suppose maybe he
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: got a raise to the chief salary because taking over
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the chief job.
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: Well, I hope so it desarves it certainly, you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: I don't want to know it mars the interim. But
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: this has become a total way shot. And when is
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: it in.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I guess when they run out of money to pay
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the law firm for its ongoing investigation into the reasons
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: why they put her on administrative leave. Yeah, you're you're
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: being perplexed. Is exactly how everybody feels about this with lards,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you know, that's why I'm laughing. How in the hell
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: do we find ourselves in this position? Oh that's right.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Elections have consequences. More people paid attention to what's he's
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that one issue might leave people scratching their heads like, well,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: maybe we went down the wrong path here, maybe we
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: should have gone with all. I don't know, Corey Bowman
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: or something. Day. Welcome to the show. Happy Friday to you, man.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I was hoping i'd hear from you this morning.
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's sometimes it's funny.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 15:08
  Speaker 12: You mentioned my name and I don't listen. You think
• 15:10
  Speaker 12: i'd listen like all the time, And I tried to
• 15:13
  Speaker 12: do as much as I can. But hey, I just
• 15:15
  Speaker 12: have a couple of ideas on the one billion dollars
• 15:18
  Speaker 12: for the state of Ohio.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I thought you might.
• 15:21
  Speaker 12: I think, yeah, let's just say we take twenty million.
• 15:25
  Speaker 12: I'm just going to throw a number out there, just
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: a small fraction of the billion, and we go fix
• 15:30
  Speaker 12: the very hard problem.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: That Keith Faber talked about, which you know there's.
• 15:35
  Speaker 12: Eighty eight counties. The medicaid fraud, the sixteen billion in
• 15:38
  Speaker 12: medicaid fraud is because we have different computer systems in
• 15:43
  Speaker 12: eighty eight counties, as he mentioned on your show a
• 15:45
  Speaker 12: couple of years ago, and it looks like work, and
• 15:48
  Speaker 12: he'd rather not and it's really not his job. Any
• 15:50
  Speaker 12: other questions, but if we were to take a couple
• 15:53
  Speaker 12: hundred million and put the best computer system that the
• 15:56
  Speaker 12: world has ever seen in across eighty eight counties a
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: couple one hundred million dollars with the payoff of sixteen
• 16:03
  Speaker 12: billion dollars of medicaid fraud that we would solve. That's
• 16:06
  Speaker 12: a pretty good payoff, it is, and that's something that
• 16:08
  Speaker 12: would would help all tax fairs.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And you could offer us because everybody's got their own
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: way of doing things in each county, let's assume that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: is that is lawful, and that is we can't as
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: a state intrude upon any given counties particular computer program.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You could offer it as a dangling carerative incentive. Here
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: we have grant money for you to upgrade your computer system.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: And if you do it and in line with what
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: we're asking, you're going to get the money to do it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll soften the blow for any given county they
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: don't have the money. Here's the money for you, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: here we'll egg them on and nudge them a little
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: bit further to making the right choice. And you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: coordinating consolidating a computer system that matches all throughout the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: state so we can ferret out the fraud, waste and abuse.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Jay I love the idea. It's better than giving. Oh,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I don't you mentioned real quickly the twenty million dollars
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that would be what the Cleveland Soccer Group is asking
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: for its h let's see here help construct the South
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Gateway stadium. But you talk about a couple one hundred million,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what the Hamilton County wants for the pay
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Court Stadium upgrade. So you're you're in the right area
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: in terms of money. Not quite sure how much it
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: would cost to put those kinds of systems in, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I think even at a billion dollars, it's a much
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: better allocation of resources, Jay, because it's going to bear
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: fruit and there will be a return on investment that
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: is purely documentable, not speculative, like how much money a
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: stadium's going to bring into a neighborhood.
• 17:27
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: And with the rest of it, I would dissolve the
• 17:29
  Speaker 12: state of Ohio. I would have a team of lawyers
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: and then we'd become Florida North. And that's how you
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: cut off the head of the snake. And then I
• 17:36
  Speaker 12: would think, maybe if there's some left at hire Ron
• 17:39
  Speaker 12: DeSantis and say please run for governor, and then I
• 17:44
  Speaker 12: think maybe we take some and we tell Chuck Schumer,
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: why don't you jump over to the Republican party and
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: teach him how to fight? Because I have a feeling
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: he's just a whore for money. But the guy wins
• 17:53
  Speaker 12: every battle he gets into. And maybe he could train
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: the Republicans for you know, how to win politically or something.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Anyway, a student option.
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: Vote Democrat, don't vote Rhino, and have a good day, Brian.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Thanks brother, good hear for you have that great weekend
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: five twenty six. Right now, you can chime in if
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you like. Got local stories coming up as well. Oh, look,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: ninety students facing charges after breaking on into the Kroger
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and unleashing chaos because they walked out of school to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: protest things in real quick. First off, going back to
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the unclaimed funds and all these sports complexes got their
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: hand in the cookie jar, assuming they get these grants approved,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: your money going to them. It's unclaimed funds here in
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the state of Ohio, one billion of which and there's
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more in the unclaimed funds pile. Here's
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: here's an interesting one. The first Baptist church in Shelby
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: County submitted to request for three quarters of a million
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: dollars to help construct the Kingdom Sports Complex. So I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: told Joey, remember how much Jesus was really into sports,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and I joked around. I said, remember the lacrosse team
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that Jesus played on. That's first thing in came to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: my mind. Joe made a better point, he goes, No,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: he was like water polo, particularly side flitting for me,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: because of course, being a swimmer, as part of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: training you play water polo is you know, to for
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the for the exercise and for the muscle blowing and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: all that. We played water polo a lot, and it's
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: not a necessarily easy sports to play, sport to play,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: so of course Jesus has a major advantage from playing
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: water polo. Tom, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Friday
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to you man.
• 19:26
  Speaker 13: You guys are a riot.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, you should. I wish I could. I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: wish that we could broadcast the commentary between us online
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: out louds FCC might find fault with some of it,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: because of course we maintain a sense of the corm
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: on the fifty five cars in Morning Show when the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: mic is on and apologies again to Signal ninety nine.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You can find the podcast fifty five kresy dot com
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and hit the dump button too quickly. She said, ship
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: sinking ship. That's not what my brain heard. So anyway,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Tom Jack, go ahead.
• 19:57
  Speaker 13: Oh, I mean, I think I think Joe could probably
• 20:00
  Speaker 13: put the podcast together, just the banter back and forth
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: between the two years.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: We could get millions and Joe Tracker would would produce
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that podcast for anybody.
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: Yes, right there you go. It's another shameless fuck Amen,
• 20:16
  Speaker 13: good stuff, good enough.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I am not compensated for.
• 20:20
  Speaker 13: One of the many reasons that we all tune into
• 20:22
  Speaker 13: this show in the mornings though.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:25
  Speaker 13: So, uh, this whole billion dollars sitting there, I'm I'm
• 20:31
  Speaker 13: not past a part of the unclaimed funds thing yet,
• 20:34
  Speaker 13: mean unclaimed funds, So there's that much money that people
• 20:40
  Speaker 13: fail to claim. I'm just I'm having a hard time wrapping.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: My head around I honestly, I'm going from recollection, So
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: don't accuse me of being an idiot. I'm going from recollection.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: It's my recollection that it's like, for example, outstanding unclaimed
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: lottery tickets, closed bank accounts which have been dormant and
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: unclaimed for some period of time. The money defaults into
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the Unclaimed Funds fund and apparently the state is at
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: liberty to use it however at once. So there may
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: be an unconstitutional taking involved in there, but I'll let
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: others argue that in court if they choose.
• 21:08
  Speaker 13: Okay, I mean, I get I guess that could happen.
• 21:11
  Speaker 13: So but yeah, all right, so we've got to We've
• 21:13
  Speaker 13: got this big pot of money, and of course you
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: got everybody wanting to get their grubby little paws into it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 13: So if it, yeah, if it is money that the
• 21:21
  Speaker 13: state has a legal right to have and do as
• 21:25
  Speaker 13: they wish with, yes, then yes we should start at
• 21:28
  Speaker 13: the top of the list of things that they are
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: legally obligated to do. And supporting sports is not something
• 21:36
  Speaker 13: that I mean, I'm not sure if Jay would agree
• 21:41
  Speaker 13: with this, but sports stadiums is not something that's ne
• 21:46
  Speaker 13: or city entities to feel they're responsible to take care of.
• 21:50
  Speaker 13: That's that's ridiculous, especially if you're talking about you're you're
• 21:55
  Speaker 13: you're helping with a stadium of an entity that is
• 21:58
  Speaker 13: a for profit and that's that's absurd that we should
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: be doing that. And really, I mean, if you're in
• 22:06
  Speaker 13: business to make money for yourself, your family, or corporation, whatever,
• 22:11
  Speaker 13: then that's on you to figure out how to make
• 22:14
  Speaker 13: that money, how to make that work. Now, if it's
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: if it's a school, if it's a state run school,
• 22:20
  Speaker 13: and we want to make sure we provide the things
• 22:23
  Speaker 13: that the students need, and then okay, now we're at
• 22:26
  Speaker 13: least now we're gabbling in the area of something that
• 22:29
  Speaker 13: the state is responsible for. But the Toledo mud Hen,
• 22:34
  Speaker 13: the Cincinnati Bengals that you know FC Cincinnati State has.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: No Cavaliers, Cleveland Guardians, Cleveland Soccer Group all right, Clark
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: County Convention Facilities Authority for there's Champion City Sports and
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Community Wellness Center, Columbus Clippers, I mean, Toledo mud Hens.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Atomic Speedway Foundation is kind of a good one. The
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Monkey Business Park or.
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: That's the one right there. They should get the whole billion, Yeah,
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: all of the business. Yeah, that is apropos to what
• 23:09
  Speaker 13: we're dealing with, a bunch of monkey business.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: These people are being ridiculous.
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: I forget.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: There's two components to this. We're presently in the middle
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: of the fall the Roman Empire, it's bred and the circuses.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: This is the circus part that they're worried about funding
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: Tom of course, of course. Well, you know, circus is
• 23:28
  Speaker 13: what gets everybody's attention, you know, gets everyone all excited
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: and all whipped up into a frenzy. And how about
• 23:35
  Speaker 13: you show the people who are electing you to be
• 23:38
  Speaker 13: there that you can be responsible with their money and that,
• 23:43
  Speaker 13: I mean, I know that's a crazy idea, but let's
• 23:45
  Speaker 13: let's start going in that direction. Let's fix some roads,
• 23:49
  Speaker 13: let's fix some infrastructure. That computer thing is a great idea.
• 23:53
  Speaker 13: Let's do stuff like that.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: That way, we're actually.
• 23:56
  Speaker 13: Being in an efficient department of something that helping everyone
• 24:01
  Speaker 13: in the state, not just a small percentage of people
• 24:05
  Speaker 13: that are rooting for a sports team. Don't vote right
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: now at don't vote Democrat, have a great day.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Right the reversed order on that from now on, I
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: think that may be an appropriate ordering of things. Five

• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Well, let's see if we're the phone see what hankscott
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: this morning for we get the stackers to But Hank,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Happy Friday, Brian Height.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: So anyway, I wanted to mention an encounter we had,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: me and my wife and I about thirty plus years
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: ago with the unclaimed funds.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: Part of the problem is it's it can be kind
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: of hard if you do have something to claim it,
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: if you don't have proof of like an ad.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Yes from Hank. Hey, I literally listen, I got I
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: literally just got an email from one of the listeners'
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: names eron. Hey, Brian, I had one hundred and fifty
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: bucks unclaimed funds, but the information they want me to
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: provide makes it impossible for me to claim I'm assuming
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not the only one who's tried to claim the money.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: But can't amen, Aaron, and I'm sure you are in
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a long, long list of folks like that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, that's just it.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's it seems kind of funny that it's
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: that hard to get In a way, it's understandable because
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: of especially these days, fraud. But anyway, that's where that
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: money comes from. It's it's ours to start with.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's funny that you bring up fraud. It's money
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: that they have only only by way, just by it
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: sort of circumstance that someone didn't claim the money. So
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: it's like it just landed in the state's lap with
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: virtually no effort. It may they make it virtually impossible
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: to get that money back from them. So they've really
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: cracked down on fraud when it comes to money that
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: will never really blocked to them in the first place. Well,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: when it comes to medicaid, though, we're not gonna bother
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: ah pesky fraud thing. It doesn't hardly. It's a government program.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: You know, this kind of thing happens. It just goes
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: along with the territory. Yeah, right, great, I appreciate that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Governor de Wine. We go to Ellington, Connecticut, described as
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: a bizarre and concerning scene. Runners at the Deer Valley
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: town Homes woke up before down to find a naked
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: guy standing in the snow, screaming and banging on doors.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: There's no flag for us, apparently not surprised that banging
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: on doors didn't at a phrasing comment from each strucker anyway,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: According to one of the residents there, Lori Maslok, speaking
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: with local news, we never really had issues before, nothing
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: like that. We had a bear, but that's a bit different. Yeah,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: wildlife's one thing. This is different. Thank you Lourie for
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the astute observation. Anyway, she woke up when she heard
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: screaming just outside her door about five o'clock in the morning.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: So other runners in the same town home sist our complex,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: all man completely naked, walking in circles, screaming, ringing doorbells,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and again banging on doors. Temperatures under thirty degrees, wind
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: gus reaching forty miles per hour, and they say thirty
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: minutes clothed can give someone frostbite. Use your imagination where
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: frostbite might first set in with a naked guy. What fingers.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Police in the MS shut up shortly after the man
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: was first seen. State police troopers respond to the scene
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: took the guy to the hospital for of course, a
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: medical evaluation. However, nobody they never got back with the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: residence in the complex. They have no idea why he
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: was there or how he got there, and they haven't
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: heard anything from police. The only thing they saw was
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: a post on Facebook naked guy. Five forty five fifty
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: five KR City Talk Station. More of that type of
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: stuff coming up or your phone calls. Either way we go,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: It's a okay with me. I'll be right back.
• 28:35
  Speaker 14: This is fifty five KARC an iHeartRadio station.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Your entire sports feed ingram on fifty five KRC the
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: talk station.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Five nine fifty five KRC DE Talk station. Returning into
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the stack is stupid. We remain in Connecticut, moving away
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: from Ellington Kinnectic Tooston, Connecticut, to Stanford, Connecticut, Stafford Rather
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: where a family is trying to get their head around
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: a video that was captured outside of their house by
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: their own surveillance cameras, where a naked guy can be
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: seen on camera running away from the house with a
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: knife in his hand. UH anonymous person, she is the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: mother who lives at the home. I'm thinking to myself
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: who's ringing my doorbell at this time of night. She
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: described it as a terrifying moment. A man walked up
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: to the family ports and ran away, all caught on camera.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: A silver sharp object can be seen in his right hand.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I guess so one stead I woke up out of
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: a sound sleep, got out of bed, slowly made my
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: way to the living room before I went to the
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: door and looked out the window. Didn't see anybody. And
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: that's when I checked my camera and couldn't believe what
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I saw. A naked guy and he clearly had some
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: kind of weapon. I immediately called nine to one. One
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: says the man was spotting on her camera before one am.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Man stood on the front porch for about a minute
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and then ran away. Police said they found the man
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: later in the morning, didn't arrest him, instead took him
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: to the hospital, yes, for an evaluation. I'm thinking you're right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: In fact, that's what the woman suspected, saying. I think
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: he was not in his right mind. Drugs or mental illness.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure, but I think something was not
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: right with him. But you can pretty much like, yeah,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: no kidding, he said, my dog was barking so much.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I think that's that may have scared him off. Amen.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Don't you love dogs and my dog marks too much? Anyway,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that's why we have ring doorbell cameras. I guess now
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: we're away from Connecticut over in West Virginia at Nitro,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. Never heard of it, but that's where a
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: man was taken into custody while naked inside the Marty

  Speaker 1: Before approaching Nitri, deliberate yay, so.
• 32:29
  Speaker 16: We could get into the penalty box all by himself, and.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Then approached the Nitro police officers who are working security.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Please said he made an obscene gesture, shout at an obscenity,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and attempted to flee before being tackled following a brief
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: foot pursuit. He'd been at the casino since about five
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: thirty pm on Saturday. They said they reviewed text messages
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: exchanged between him and his dad. Messages discussed plans to
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: meet and cut trees with Loss and Senior texting his
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: son about one thirty pm that he was on his way.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: That's a strange combination there, joe.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Ah.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: How about a naked woman? Creswell, Oregon Lane County Sheriff's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: deputies reported a chaotic scene. According to the Sheriff's office,
• 33:16

• 33:50
  Speaker 1: no charge for being naked. Finally, pivoting over to teachers
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: having sex with students. Usually one of these in the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: stack is stupid. We go to Mobile, Alabama, former b
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: c Rain teacher pleaded guilty to having sex with the students.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Court record show that the guy waived his rights to
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: a jury trial and ended a guilty plate. Case goes
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: back to March of twenty four. Mobile police responded to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: the DC reign after receiving a port of an inappropriate
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: relationship between a student and employee. That's when Crawford, the
• 34:20

• 34:25

• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Now he's got to spend one year there and will
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: be released on a three year probation. Cannot have contact
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: with the victim, thank god. The violenx's probation, will have
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: to serve fourteen years in the state penitentiary and must
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: pay the victim compensation. Yes, Joe, exactly, yep, fifty five.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: You think that acts as a deterrent? You think over
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the over the years we've been pointing out that people
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: get really really child molesters get really really really abused
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: in prison, that that might have sent a message to
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: the would be child molester that no, I don't want
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: to go down that road. Joe, Yeah, I know, it
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: probably doesn't have that much of an effect. Well, at
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: least they're four fore warned is fore told, or foretold
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: is forewarned? Whatever, don't go away. We've got plenty of
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: talk about in the six o'clock hour, including my request
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to you. If you're sitting on a billion dollars and
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you're responsible for taxpayer dollars in any given state, let's
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: just say, the state of Ohio, would you fund sports
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: facilities with that money? Would you find something better? Don't
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: go away to be right back. Today's top headlines coming
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: up at the top of the hour.
• 35:47
  Speaker 14: Everything will change in a moment's notice. On fifty five

  Speaker 1: have Joe Strecker as executive producer. Comedy guy he is
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: and Joe Strecker actually got a dollar twenty seven out
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: of the unclaimed funds stayed unclaimed funds. Talking about that
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: this morning because apparently they're getting ready to hand out
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a billion dollars from the unclaimed funds. Why well, they
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: created the Ohio Sports Facility Grant program here in Ohio.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: They got billions of dollars because accounts were closed, lottery
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: tickets weren't cash whatever. Apparently Joe Strecker had closed some account.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: He was a subscription account and there was a dollar
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: twenty seven in it that was going to the unclaimed
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: funds file. So he searched his name, found that he
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: was He had a dollar twenty seven and there filled
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: out the paperwork. They wrote him a check and he
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: kept for everybody else out there, including my friend Aaron,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: who sent me an email this morning saying, Hey, I
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: tried to claim one hundred and fifty dollars of mine
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: out of that fund. I just didn't have sufficient paperwork
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: and so my claim was denied. Anyway, for all the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Joes and the Aaron's out there, successful or not, that
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: money is in a big pile the state of Ohio says, Hey,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: where do we spend it? That's why I was asking
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: sort of an out loud question this morning. If you
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: were in charge of money, and you know, the list
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: of programs is endless that aren't funded, that haven't been
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: addressed by our lawmakers because there just isn't enough resources
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: to do whatever it is you want. Hey, here's a
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: billion dollars, let's give it too. The Akron Baseball Club,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Cavaliers Operating Company, Cleveland Guardians Baseball, Cleveland Soccer Group, Collide Neo.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: That's a request and update Lake County Captain Stadium. Every
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: one of these involved some sort of sports program. Columbus
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Clippers Clark County Convention Facilities Authority to ask for five
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: and a half million for a to construct the Champion
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: City Sport and Community. Well, that sounds great. That's in Springfield.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Dayton Dragons won a renovation of the day Air Credit
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Union Ballpark. Faith Baptist Church. This is a good one.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Remember all the sports Jesus played asking for three quarters
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: of a million dollars to construct the Kingdom Sports Complex.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Just director suggested Jesus was a water polo player. FC
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati one hundred and thirty six million is they're asked
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: for the TQL Stadium expansion project. Franklin County Convention is
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: a facility authority only one hundred thousand dollars for the
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Columbus Blue Jackets nationwide arena in Columbus. It goes on
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: and on, including yes pay Court Stadium. Hamilton Counties asked
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: for two hundred and thirty four million dollars for renovations
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: there the Monkey Business Park Corp. Wherever that is, Mollmee
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: specifically one hundred or ten thousand dollars. It's a small ask.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: They need new safety mats and flooring. And you know what,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I got to give credit. Drews Schofield over at WCPO
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: did the reporting on this. That's how I have the list,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: and I thought this was really extra comical. He noted
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: that there was an application from Massachusetts, even some a
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: student observer. Oh, look, they got a giant pile of
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: money in Ohio, they're handing it out. I go ahead
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: and throw a request in. The fools are the one
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: that's not looking out for his own best interest, so
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: why not ask. All they can do is say no, Well,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: it doesn't meet the requirements of the program. So the
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts ask is going to be denied. But all these
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: other ones are legitimate asks. Apparently, will they get the
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: allocated funds? Will they get the requested funds? Rather not necessarily,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: these are in a state of flux. But it just fright,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: quite frankly, in a world of finite resources where we're
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: all seeing swimming in a sea of debt from federal
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: levels down to the state and cities like Cincinnati. You
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: scratch your head and wonder, what in the hell are
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: these clowns thinking. Why did they fund that particular program
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: which doesn't seem like it's going to give us a
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: great ROI as taxpayers, When, for example, the city of
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Sinceinna has a thirty one million dollar hole it needs
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: to fill. Huh, where would you spend a billion dollars?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Let's see what Okie's got Oki welcome in the morning show.
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: Happy Friday, Well, happy Friday.
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: Back at you, sir, thank you.
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: To answer your question, No, I would not be giving
• 40:15
  Speaker 11: into a way to sports complexes. I would be making
• 40:18
  Speaker 11: an effort to give a hold of the people that
• 40:20
  Speaker 11: it actually belongs to. People were called and said, you
• 40:24
  Speaker 11: know they well, gentle and his dollar twenty seven, He
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: got his people who got you know, one hundred and
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: fifty two hundred dollars in there, and they make it
• 40:33
  Speaker 11: impossible to get it. My question for you is is
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: there any do they have any legal recourse? I know
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: they've made some kind of stupid law where they can
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: get away with this, but to the people who know
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: they've got money in there, do they have any recourse
• 40:47
  Speaker 11: whatsoever to stop this nonsense. Well, some kind of class
• 40:51
  Speaker 11: action lawsuit and get their money.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I can only answer that question on a theoretical basis
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: because I don't know how the law is written. Like,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: for example, I know that that there are specific documents
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: you've got to have to prove that it's your money.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: But if you have documents and you have sufficient evidentiary
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: proof that, if you were in a court of law
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: making a claim for the money, you could prove beyond
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: our you know, by a preponderance of the evidence that
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: it is your money, you get the money back. Now,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: why would it be any different if it's sitting in
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: a fund in Ohio. If you think you've got sufficient
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: funds and you can maybe sue the state of Ohio
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: because I gave them what I believe to be sufficient
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: information to prove that money as mine, they have an
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: obligation to return it to me and have a judge,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: you know, to make a determination on that costly. Yes,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: could Joe Strecker go to court theoretically to do that
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: to get his dollar twenty seven back, But let's face it,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: the expense of filing and you know it just even
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: time getting to the courthouse. You want to represent yourself.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's no, I'm not going to do that.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even do it for one hundred and fifty bucks.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: And maybe that's how they end up with billions of
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: dollars in unclaimed funds. They've either made it so difficult
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: to get the money out because they're worried about fraud.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I think about the joke of that one, or it's
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: just tiny amounts that just aren't worth the effort. Maybe
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: oki just an ad campaign that wouldn't cost that much. Hey,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: did you know in the state of Ohio we have
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: an unclaimed funds pile of money. This could be you
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: go ahead and search on the online search engine to
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: see if there's any money in there. That's how Joe
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: found out he had a buck twenty seven coming to him.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't cost much money to do that. But in
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: the final analysis, the most troubling thing is not so
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: much that they have this pile of money, but that
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: this or these are what they want. These, these projects,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: these all sports related projects, are what they want. The
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: money to go toward six hundred million for the Cleveland Browns. Folks,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: let that sink in. I was reeling from the moment
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I read that the first time. We're going back a
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: little while. Six hundred million dollars. Eh, let's see what
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: CJ's got. CJ. Welcome in the morning show. Happy Friday, Oh.
• 42:58
  Speaker 16: Happy Friday to you as well. But before I get
• 43:00
  Speaker 16: to what I called about in Colraine, there is CJ's
• 43:03
  Speaker 16: over the line tournament that never happens.
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: I would like to get.
• 43:06
  Speaker 16: About four hundred thousand dollars out of this fond but yes,
• 43:12
  Speaker 16: exactly in reality here what the biggest story of that
• 43:18
  Speaker 16: nobody talking about is the Iranians allegedly and reportedly took
• 43:23
  Speaker 16: down one of our most expensive drones over this rate
• 43:27
  Speaker 16: or four moves with electronic weaponry supplied by China, now.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, by China.
• 43:34
  Speaker 16: And the reality is this, in twenty nineteen, we almost
• 43:39
  Speaker 16: militarily attacked Iran because they took down he'd grown with
• 43:44
  Speaker 16: with one of their fighter jets.
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: Today, Hakabe sent out.
• 43:49
  Speaker 16: An email to all of the Israeli embassy thing, if
• 43:52
  Speaker 16: you want to get out, you've got to get out today.
• 43:56
  Speaker 16: We noticed yesterday that or for the last two days,
• 44:00
  Speaker 16: the Indian Prime Minister Mundy was in Israel. He is
• 44:05
  Speaker 16: now officially out, so probably the clock is ticking on Iran,
• 44:10
  Speaker 16: and I am not necessarily against it. There's a lot
• 44:13
  Speaker 16: of things I question about this whole They have nuclear weapons.
• 44:17
  Speaker 16: That messaging is not good messaging. The other thing is
• 44:22
  Speaker 16: Trump still has not prepared America for what we are at.
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: If you go back to the First Golf War, George H. W.
• 44:30
  Speaker 16: Bush had what I forget it was hundreds of thousands
• 44:34
  Speaker 16: of body bags in to Kwait, and America was prepared
• 44:37
  Speaker 16: that it could be very, very deadly.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: George W.
• 44:40
  Speaker 16: Bush did a lot of the same things with Iraq
• 44:42
  Speaker 16: in two thousand and two. We're not prepared to something
• 44:46
  Speaker 16: bad accidentally happens here. And I've said this number of
• 44:49
  Speaker 16: times on your show now, and I know that at
• 44:52
  Speaker 16: six o'clock there are not a lot of people in Washington,
• 44:54
  Speaker 16: DC or in Cincinnati listening, but they.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Am surprised to get this messaging down.
• 45:00
  Speaker 16: They've got to get this messaging down that the American
• 45:03
  Speaker 16: people need to be prepared that if something really bad happens,
• 45:07
  Speaker 16: that we are mentally prepared for that we're not, and
• 45:11
  Speaker 16: it could. You know, if we think these little ice
• 45:14
  Speaker 16: walkouts from high school students have been bad, man, imagine
• 45:18
  Speaker 16: if something horrible happens over there, what those protests are
• 45:22
  Speaker 16: going to look like, and it just it concerns me
• 45:25
  Speaker 16: that we have not been mentally.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Prepared for this well. And honestly, I think it goes
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: beyond mental preparedness. I mean, yeah, there should be a
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: lot of information about there, like, for example, what Daniel
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Davis says about this situation. He said, this is going
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: to be outrageous. This is going to be something that's
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: going to drag on for years and years. There's going
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: to be a tremendous amount of loss of life. There's
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be massive damage to our various military facilities. I mean,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: can you imagine if a drone They have drone submarines,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: now they have drone boats, they have drone this, that
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and the other thing, Shoulder launched rockets and stuff. Can
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: you imagine if those clowns were capable of maybe sinking
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: one of our aircraft carriers. You know, that's that's certainly conceivable.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Ask Cribbage Mike, my submariner friend. He calls boats targets.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: It's something that's easy to envision. That's why I was
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: pleased to hear Congressman Warren Davison yesterday in the Morning Show,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: following up with a post on ex war requires congressional authorizations.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: There are actions short of war, but no case has
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: been made. No case has been made. I think that's
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: further to your point, Sir, six sixteen fifty five car,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: see the talk station Cleveland. Now hang on, brother, I'll
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: be happy to take your call soon. As I mentioned,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: and here are a couple extra words twenty talk station
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: six twenty one at fifty five carsee the talk station.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Very happy Friday to all listeners out there. So we
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: got some good plans for the weekend, David, how about
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: you hanging out with Dad and real quick before I
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: jump to Cleveland out and New Hampshire, Gary getting calls
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: from all over the place, and I dearly love that.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Real quick here and going back to the unclaimed funds,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: from which we have a billion dollars at the state
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: wants a hand out for sports complexes. Stick your hand
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: in the cookie jar. Eric has about one thousand dollars
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: in the unclaimed funds, several different specific likes one six
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: sixty one seventy seven bucks. You know, basically it totals
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: roughly one thousand dollars. I said, well, did you get it?
• 47:20
  Speaker 10: Back.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Nope, I have to provide mail or some other official
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: documentations that prove that I lived at an address that
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I haven't lived twenty years ago. Since twenty years ago,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: so there's a stumbling block for you getting your money back. Oh,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: just rest assured, though, Eric, you have helped fund six
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars for the Cleveland Browns. And speaking of Cleveland, Cleveland,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Al thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the show.
• 47:41
  Speaker 17: Good morning, Brian. I appreciate you taking my call. I
• 47:46
  Speaker 17: just turned sixty nine and my infrastructure has been declining
• 47:51
  Speaker 17: quite significantly over the last several years.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Your warranty at fis thinking.
• 47:57
  Speaker 17: Yes, I was thinking that I would put in for
• 48:01
  Speaker 17: a grant for a rehabilitation of the weekend Weekend Weekend
• 48:09
  Speaker 17: Warrior Project sponsored by Cleveland. Now I think five or
• 48:14
  Speaker 17: six million dollars.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: Ont to do it.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Weekend Weekend Warrior Program call. You had a gold star
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: for that one and just said get in line now.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you man. Oh. I love being able to laugh,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: especially on a Friday. I's your Gary. Welcome back man.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Happy Friday to you, sir.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: Happy Friday. Hey, everybody out there, enjoy your Friday. You
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: know it is a good It is a good thing.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: I've got twenty seven dollars and sixty excents from nineteen
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: eighty five. I think it was about nineteen eighty five.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: I worked for the Cincinnati Millicron, the Pilicron Savings and Loan,
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: which I opened up and I left twenty seven dollars
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: and then I found out they went bussed and they
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: turned that money in. And you know, I want my
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: twenty seven dollars back.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I bet you do. Maybe they'll give you a give
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: you a twenty seven dollars discount off of Cleveland Brown's
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: football ticket.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: Oh my goods, Oh my goodness. Well, actually I was
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: I got to open up one of those leering spenders
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: Hampshire there you go.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I just got an email from Keith. Keith
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: he said we should use it on learing centers channeling
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: you Gary, And I said, Lord knows we need those
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: here in Ohio. Isn't that for sure? Yes, a billion
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: dollars already got them Weekend Weekend Warrior Project. I think
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: that's a better use of the money. Quite frankly, that Gary,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: take care of brother. Always pleasure hearing from you. Yeah,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just this just blows me away Brad and circuses.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: So they got the circus part taken care of. Now
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: the question is are there any other programs, because we
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: already I have a whole bunch of them that are
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: supposed to, you know, feed the poor and how's the
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: homeless and that kind of thing. So billion dollars sports.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I just think we need to ask this legitimate question,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: should government be in the business of sports? I can't
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: find a reason why that will be the case. Six
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: twenty five right now, fifty five KRC, the talk station,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: fastened pro roofing. I said what the listeners sent me
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: an email the other day, Hey.
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: Eric, Chuck Gingram, fifty five KRSC the Talk station.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Six thirty on a Friday. It's that time of the
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: week I always look forward to. I always call it
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: appointment listening, and I beg my listeners, please, dear God,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: listen to what Dave had it from interust. I has
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: to say, interest it dot com where you find Dave
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: and the crew for your your business computer needs. And
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: he's on the program every Friday to try to keep
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: us out of trouble. I'm so happy, Dave, welcome back
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: to the morning show. Happy Friday that you have the
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: seven thousand robot vacuum article. I brought this up early
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: in the week, and I submit you right out of
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: the gate. I said, see Dave Hatters right, listen to him.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Don't go Internet of things stuff because they suck. Here's
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: a terrible illustration of exactly what you're talking about. Fortunately,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: at least this guy was honest about it and didn't
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: use it for nefarious purposes. Let my listeners know, Dave.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome back.
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Brian, great, great intro. As always, thanks for having me,
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: and yeah, I've been on this particular story now for
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: several days, posted it all over my social media, and
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: you know I will frequently try to share these stories
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: and use them to show people why the Internet of
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: things aka so called smart devices, which are actually rather dumb,
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: as evidenced yet again by this story, to just point
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: out why you don't want this stuff. So before I
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: get into the details, let me just simplify this for everyone.
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: Almost all of these so called smart devices come from China.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: They're full of software that no one has vetted. They
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: could have back doors, and if nothing else, all kinds
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: of security vulnerabilities. They typically will not be managed or maintained.
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: The software anyway for more than a couple of years
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: as they move on to a new product. So you know,
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: we've been doing this show for over ten years, Brian.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: It's not just me.
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: Look at the DHS, FBI, Microsoft, Google, Apple, anyone will
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: tell you. You know, software vulnerabilities are one of the
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: ways bad guys get any You have to patch your software. Well,
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: when they stop making updates for it, how do you
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: patch it right right now? You're in the legacy bucket.
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: People don't understand this. They don't know how to configure
• 52:26
  Speaker 8: these things correctly. But the big problem, besides the fact
• 52:29
  Speaker 8: that almost all of this is coming from China, is
• 52:32
  Speaker 8: that it's not designed with your privacy and security in mind,
• 52:35
  Speaker 8: and in fact, in many cases it's the opposite. Now,
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: it's designed with speed to market, market share, easy abuse
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: in data collection in mind. So this this particular guy
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: again popular science magazine. This isn't like ten foil hat
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: magazine or something like that.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Listen, I didn't somebody sent me a meme about this.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't believe it at first, because I don't believe
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: anything anymore. So I immediately started searching and found yes,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: this is actually a genuine thing, and one of the
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: reasons I gave Popular Science at least credit for some
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: measure of credibility. They were the ones reporting on it. Anyway,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: go ahead, David.
• 53:05
  Speaker 8: So, so this particular guy is a software engineer, so
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: he's got some technical skill, right. He bought a now,
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: wait for it, two thousand dollars robot vacuum. I can't
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: imagine why you'd pay two thousand dollars for one of
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: these things.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: A six thousand dollars toilet, Dave, Yeah, you know.
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: Brian, I wouldn't pay two dollars for one of these.
• 53:22
  Speaker 8: But nevertheless, he buys one of these, and he decides
• 53:26
  Speaker 8: that it would be fun as a little side project
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: for himself to try to steer the thing around using
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: a video game controller, right, right, So he's going to
• 53:36
  Speaker 8: reverse engineer it. And as he gets into it and
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: starts to fool with it, he realizes that the robot
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: is talking to the company that makes it. Dji've never
• 53:45
  Speaker 8: heard of them talks to their cloud servers, right, So
• 53:47
  Speaker 8: it's connected to the Internet through his Wi Fi. Obviously,
• 53:51
  Speaker 8: the thing moves around. It doesn't have a cord necessarily, right,
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: and it's it's communicating back to their servers. Now, one
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: could ask, why does the robot vacuum which is just
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: sweeping need to communicate with their servers? Well, you know
• 54:04
  Speaker 8: one answer, one legitimate answer. Well, you want to want
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: it to get software updates, but you know it might
• 54:10
  Speaker 8: be mapping your house. Who knows what it's doing? Does
• 54:12
  Speaker 8: it have a camera and a microphone? Is it listening
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: to you? Who knows?
• 54:15
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 54:16
  Speaker 8: So he gets into it and he discovers that. Now
• 54:20
  Speaker 8: I'm reading directly from the article. While building his own
• 54:22
  Speaker 8: remote control app, this guy reportedly used an AI coding
• 54:26
  Speaker 8: assistant to help reverse engineer how the robot communicated with
• 54:29
  Speaker 8: their cloud servers. He soon discovered that the same credentials
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: US your name and password. This is a common problem
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: embedded in the business. We call it secrets us your
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: name and password in the code so that it can
• 54:41
  Speaker 8: talk to their servers. He discovers the same credentials that
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: allow him to see and control his own device also
• 54:46
  Speaker 8: provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio maps, and
• 54:51
  Speaker 8: status data from nearly seven thousand other vacuums across twenty
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: four countries. Now, this guy, yeah reports. Imagine if this
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: were a hacker who wanted to steal your information or
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: wanted to use their access to this device to get
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: to your other devices or possibly eventually to your bank
• 55:12
  Speaker 8: or to your work.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Well you can mention all that, but they have access
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to the cameras on the things they could spy on you.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe some creepy pedophile wants to look at your twelve
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: year old daughter or something.
• 55:23
  Speaker 8: Yes, or again, imagine if this weren't just a robot vacuum.
• 55:28
  Speaker 8: Imagine if it were, for example, a car that adversarial hackers,
• 55:34
  Speaker 8: a nation state actor like China could take over, and
• 55:37
  Speaker 8: the day that they decide to launch an attack on Taiwan,
• 55:40
  Speaker 8: they make every one of those cars missiles.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: They could yeh, drive them into power stations, right, you
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: know anything.
• 55:48
  Speaker 8: This article and this is not the first time something
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: like this has come up. This is just the most
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: recent time. When I shared these things, I'll usually come
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: up with some sort of snarky comment like reason number
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: one million and seven why you don't want this garbage?
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, So, yet again.
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: Yet again, we have an example of these things being
• 56:11
  Speaker 8: built in a way that they are inherently insecure. I mean,
• 56:15
  Speaker 8: even the most basic person, even most basic cybersecurity person,
• 56:19
  Speaker 8: knows you should not store credentials, use your names, passwords, tokens,
• 56:24
  Speaker 8: anything that would give you access like that in the code.
• 56:28
  Speaker 8: This is like one oh one type stuff, right, but
• 56:30
  Speaker 8: it comes up over and over again. Now I'm not
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: suggesting in this case this was done in a nefarious way.
• 56:37
  Speaker 8: The problem is many software engineers are not trained on
• 56:41
  Speaker 8: security at all. They don't care about security. They care
• 56:44
  Speaker 8: about against Did I get it done on budget? Did
• 56:47
  Speaker 8: I get it done on time? These companies do not
• 56:49
  Speaker 8: care about your privacy or security. They care about selling
• 56:53
  Speaker 8: you their cheap, garbage spyware. And yet here is another
• 56:56
  Speaker 8: example of it well documented or.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Gotta take a break. We're way over time and Joe
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Strekker is yelling in my headset. We'll continue with Dave
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Hatter talk a whole interest, it dot Com, Jimmy Care,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: fireplaces up. I always say they do literally everything related
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: to chimneys and fireplaces. Tim you know, literally, I can
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: do the.
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: Talk station.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: If you do about KRCD talk station. We call it
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: tech Friday with Dave Hatter. Listen to what Dave has
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: to say, including when he says no, I'm a no.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: There's a quote I saw this article about the mayor
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: of Fort Wright, and they were discussing the contract with
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Flock Safety, which aggregates your personal ring camera, doorbells and
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: consolidates them for the purposes of safety, and the mayor
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: over there, some guy named Dave Hatter said, I'm a
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: know nothing you say will convince me. Unless you all
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: have a super majority, this is dead. I will veto this.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: I think we're talking about the same kind of concept here,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: aren't we, Dave Hatter, mayor.
• 57:51
  Speaker 8: Oh Brian, We are talking about the same kind of concept,
• 57:54
  Speaker 8: which is my issue with this. So you know, flock
• 57:57
  Speaker 8: cameras have popped up all around the country. They've come in,
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: there are a lot of fire In fact, you may
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: recall after the Super Bowl a flock and Ring had
• 58:05
  Speaker 8: some kind of partnership to you, and then the ring
• 58:07
  Speaker 8: ad that freaked everyone out with the lost dog finding
• 58:10
  Speaker 8: capability has thrown cold water on that. And you know,
• 58:14
  Speaker 8: I've done a lot of research on this over time,
• 58:17
  Speaker 8: but I have fundamental issues with the concept of this
• 58:21
  Speaker 8: and the idea of this Orwellian digital surveillance state we're
• 58:25
  Speaker 8: building all under the guise of convenience and safety. I
• 58:29
  Speaker 8: know we'll run out of time because I can get
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: ranting on this, just like I did the last segment,
• 58:33
  Speaker 8: and a great segue from the last segment about the
• 58:36
  Speaker 8: Internet of things. I mean, these are Internet of things
• 58:38
  Speaker 8: devices in general, folks. Anything that is smart, anything that
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: is connected to the Internet, is an Internet of Things
• 58:44
  Speaker 8: device in the most general sense. Right There's a guy
• 58:49
  Speaker 8: that I think it was in Wired magazine. I don't
• 58:52
  Speaker 8: have it in front of me, went out and was
• 58:54
  Speaker 8: able to hack one of these things and actually see
• 58:57
  Speaker 8: himself standing in front of the camera. And I'm pretty
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: sure it's in Wired magazine. I'll post it in my
• 59:03
  Speaker 8: notes today. But the way these things work and all
• 59:07
  Speaker 8: the back end surveillance and so forth, I totally understand
• 59:10
  Speaker 8: the argument of why people think these are good. Right, Hey,
• 59:14
  Speaker 8: it might help us find a lost person, it may
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: help us capture a criminal. I get all of that. Okay, However,
• 59:22
  Speaker 8: I'm going to go back to our boy Benjamin Franklin,
• 59:25
  Speaker 8: who said, you know, he who gives up safety for
• 59:28
  Speaker 8: liberty liberty for safety, deserves neither. I'm paraphrasing. I mean,
• 59:31
  Speaker 8: we are, we are building a digital surveillance state, and
• 59:34
  Speaker 8: people like the ACLU, the eff most people who have
• 59:38
  Speaker 8: spent any time really studying these things are not fans
• 59:44
  Speaker 8: right now. Again, again, I get a lot of your
• 59:46
  Speaker 8: listeners like the ACLU. I don't agree with them on
• 59:49
  Speaker 8: versus anything. Well, just go read what they tell you
• 59:51
  Speaker 8: about this, okay, again, take any of the politics out
• 59:53
  Speaker 8: of it for a second, Electronic Frontier Foundation, just read
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: what they have to say about these things.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: So this came up.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, typically, I am very fortunate that on
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 8: our city council we have six members and we all
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 8: generally see things the same way. We have a simple
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 8: objective here and Fort Right for the most part, we
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 8: want to leave you alone and let's keep your own money.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 8: That's what we're trying to do here. That's what we've
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 8: been doing for a long time. Ya, for anyone, that's
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 8: for anyone that's looking to live in a place where
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 8: you'll be left alone and get to keep most of
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 8: your own money. Right is your place. Our tax rate
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 8: is the lowest it's been since two thousand and eight. Bryan,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 8: and I'm part of.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: The right there. We trusted with Zipbra, We're trusted with
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: your money, will leave you alone. Welcome to Fort Wright.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. So this came up again. I understand why
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 8: some people are interested. So you know, I did a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 8: lot of research. I sent out a lot of information.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 8: One of the things and I think you and I
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 8: have talked about this over the years, and again I'll
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 8: put all this in my my show notes. Frank Church,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 8: the Church Committee back in the seventies, Okay, he was
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 8: a US senator. There was some potential abuses of the
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 8: surveillance state at that time, and there was this big committee.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 8: Now there's a video from the seventies of him talking
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 8: about this, and this is it's all well document if
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 8: you know where to look. Most people don't know about this.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 8: There's a video, and there's the subject to the video,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 8: Senator Frank Church quote, there is nowhere to hide from
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 8: government surveillance, from the government's surveillance state unquote. That was
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 8: nineteen seventy five, long before any of this stuff. Now,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 8: think about the capabilities today, think about what was exposed
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 8: by Edward Snowden, and before we run out of time,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 8: there's a great quote from Snowden. I use it all
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 8: the time, arguing that you don't care about privacy because
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 8: you have nothing to hide. Is no difference in saying
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 8: you don't care about free speech because you have nothing
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 8: to say. Edward Snowden, I am just fundamentally against this stuff. Again,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 8: all the arguments for it, I understand, But when I
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 8: weighed out in my mind and I see where we're going,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: and then we see yet another example of Internet of
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 8: Things devices being used in ways you didn't anticipate, being hacked,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 8: being controlled by foreign nation state actors. Imagine if again,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 8: the day China decides to take to attack Taiwan, in
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 8: addition to all kinds of other attacks on the grid,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 8: attacks on the IoT, they were able to use these
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 8: cameras for surveillance purposes to launch other types of attacks
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 8: of some sort.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Certainly we envision that easily.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 8: We're throwing so much of this stuff into our environment
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: with little thought to privacy or security. Much of it
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: is garbage, and for all of those reasons, I'm like,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 8: you know, sorry, guys, there's no convincing I'm against this.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 8: We're not doing it as long as I have a say, well,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 8: it's end of story.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: In the name of security, we're giving up security. There's
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: an interesting test on this. Let's continue with Dave Hatter
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: and find out if the talk station six. If you
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: want to think you have KRCD talk Station Happy Friday.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: One more segment with Dave Hatter Intrust dot Com. Get
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Dave and the crew on the job your business Computer Needs.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Business Career says they are the best in the business.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: Dave Hatter, We've got one more thing to talk about,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: and that is artificial intelligence making work more efficient. Yeah,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: so real quick, Brime.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 8: I just want to say, when you understand how to
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: use these AI tools that are out there, and you
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 8: understand what they can and can't do right, the hallucinations
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 8: and all that sort of thing, that you can vastly
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 8: improve your productivity individually as an organization. You know, we
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 8: use these things internally at Intrust in carefully designed ways.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 8: You know, we're not just throwing everything at it and
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 8: hoping that it.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Produces correct results. In that sort of thing.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 8: Again, you've got hallucinations, you have privacy issues with the
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 8: data you're putting in these things. These things, to some
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 8: extent can be solved. And again, I just want to
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 8: be clear, when you understand how to use these tools,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 8: which by the way, is something we can help you with,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 8: it can be a huge productivity booster. But there's so
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: much hype and HYPERBOLEA around all of this and has
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: been now for a couple of years. It's hard to
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 8: know who to believe, what to think about any of
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 8: this stuff. And then you know, recently some of the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 8: bloom has come off the rows on some of these things.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 8: For example, here was an article from Ink magazine. It
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 8: turns out AI agents can't replace experienced humans. That's just
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 8: one of many articles. IBM recently announced they're going to
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 8: triple their entry level hiring, with the idea that because
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 8: one of the arguments has been okay, entry level jobs
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 8: are going away because of this stuff. IBM's theory is
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 8: we're going to triple this and we're going to augment
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 8: these people with AI tools in ways that makes sense
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 8: and work.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: There.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 8: So again, there's so much hype around this. Here's another
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 8: article from Ink magazine. A new report says AI layoffs
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 8: are backfiring and half of companies will start rehiring. The
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 8: article I think Joe found or maybe I sent him,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 8: I don't remember which. The Wall Street Journals CEOs say
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 8: AI is making work more efficient, employees tell a different story.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 8: And then you know, they've got some results in here
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 8: from a study that was done, So you know, I
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 8: think The bottom line is if you understand or your
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 8: organization understands how to use these tools, which ones are
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 8: good at, which things put some guardrails around them. Again,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 8: think about things like privacy and security. Are employees putting
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 8: sensitive data, whether it's trade secrets or compliant information that
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 8: would be covered under some sort of compliance or contractual
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 8: arrangements with a customer or partner or whatever. If you're
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 8: just dumping these into the free online tools, you got
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 8: a real problem. But there are ways to use private
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 8: versions of these things, offline versions of these things. There's
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 8: this whole agentic AI where they can take some action
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 8: on their own. That's caused a bunch of controversy and
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 8: a bunch of concerns too. These tools can be used
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 8: in a way where you can get significant productivity boosts
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 8: in some ways in certain cases. So again, it's hard
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 8: to know what to think about this stuff at this
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 8: point because you have all these divergent viewpoints as well
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 8: of people who know way more about this than me,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 8: people who've worked in the field building this stuff for years.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 8: You know, some are saying the large language model based
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 8: AI tools we see now, the chat gbt's the world
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 8: and so forth, are more or less peaked. They can't
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 8: get better really because of the way they work. They'll
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 8: never get to SENI it artificial AI. And there are
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 8: others that say, you know, that's going to happen tomorrow.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 8: So it's really hard to know what to think, Brian.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 8: All I know is when you see, you know, many
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 8: of the studies that have come out, and you see
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 8: these stories where now companies are starting to rethink, hey,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 8: we've gotten rid of a bunch of people because we're
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 8: going to use these tools and then perhaps they don't
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 8: work the way we thought they would. You know, I
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 8: think the bottom line in my opinion, based on what
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 8: I see out there with our customers and what people
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 8: are doing. Again, as an organization, if you work with
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 8: people that actually know how to use these things in
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 8: a secure, responsible productive way, you can when you arm
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 8: your people with these tools, get some significant productivity increases.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 8: But if you just say, oh, here's an account, go
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 8: use this, you not only are potentially not going to
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 8: get a lot of value out of it for these studies,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 8: but you also are setting yourself up again for privacy
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 8: and compliance issues if people don't understand how these things work,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 8: where their data might be where the data day input
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 8: might be going and ultimately what the consequences might be
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 8: from again a legal or regulatory perspective. So it's really
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 8: interesting to see all the hype around this, but there
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 8: are ways to use this stuff that will make you
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 8: more efficient and more productive.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Well possibility anyway, You just got to know what you're doing,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: and there in lies the challenge fighting people who know
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: what they're doing and the limitations AI. That's what we
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: have you for. Intrust it. Dot COM's where you find
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Dave and the crew for your computer needs and business needs.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: They can teach your business how to use AI apparently
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: that's what he just said. And find him online for
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: all the re source material he use for this segment
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: every week. It's LinkedIn dot com search Dave Hatter and
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: you will find him or just look for the mayor
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: for it right, Dave, thank you so much for coming

  Speaker 1: five KRSE Morning Show. And if you listen, you know
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: I like hearing from you, so for you're to give
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: me a call five one three seven four nine fifty
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: eight two three talk and another sure sign of spring.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you Joe for the heads up. The Loveland There
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: Whip opens today. You know it's springtime right around the corner,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: especially with these great temperatures we got. Anyhow you heard
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: top of the our news just I got to double
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: down to this, ask an out loud question. North College
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: Hill School District Superintendent Eugene Block announce it. Yes, ninety
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: students are going to be charged with disorderly conduct. Why
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: you may remember, wasn't that long ago February eighteenth. February eighteenth,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: a group of teens have described as like I heard
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: like two hundred and fifty. I may have the number wrong,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: My recollection may be bad. But there was a big
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: group that walked out of school to protest ice and
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: then a subgroup of that left and then engaged in
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: what is easily characterized is unruly conduct at Kroger. They're
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: the ones that are going to be charged. I have
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: a question, what about the students who walked out all
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: the rest of them. The superintendent's side of this was
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: a breach of the student code of conduct. Students will
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: receive consequences for violation of the student code of conduct,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: referring to the ninety kids who are in the Kroger.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: But again, what are the broader group? Described it by
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Fox nineteen Anyway, Matt Shave give you credit for student
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: led walkout, which suggests that the teachers weren't behind it.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: And if the teachers weren't behind it, is it within
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: the North College Hills School District code of conduct for
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: kids that just on their own get up and walk
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: out of school asking for a friend? Also ongoing question.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: You can feel free to shout out and give your suggestions.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: If you had a billion dollars and you were in
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: charge of, you know, taxpayer dollars and deciding what programs
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: get funded and what don't, and you realize that you
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: have an unclaimed funds pile of money exceeding billion dollars,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's much larger than that. Would you create
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: an Ohio Sports Facility Grant program and give people the
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: opportunity to tap into the unclaimed funds for the purpose
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: of building sporting complexes. For example, the Cleveland Browns. We
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: know they're getting six hundred million dollars from this fund.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: But if you want to see the entire list, Drew
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: Schoefield over at WCPO did the whole list, So we're
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: going to be maybe funding things. All the hands in
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: the cookie jar came out when they announced that there
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: are other people who may be eligible under the House
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: Facility or Sports Facility grant program. They're offering organizations the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: opportunity to apply for funds totaling up to twenty five
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: percent of a project's expecting cost, capping it at two
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars was maybe by Hamilton County
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: only asked for two hundred and thirty four million dollars
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: for renovating the Cincinni Bengals pay Course Stadium, So I
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: add that to the list. I thought it particularly amusing
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: one of the people on the list asking for three
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: quarters of a million dollars. The first Baptist church in
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Shelby County for their Kingdom Sports Complex in honor of
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: all the sports that Jesus played. So listen, the asks
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: of government are unlimited. The money in government is limited.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: Do you think it's an appropriate use of this money?
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: And yes, it's from unclaimed funds, but you know there
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: are people out there that endeavored to get the money
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: back that they know belongs to them. My friend Eric
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: has about one thousand dollars in that fund. He can't
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: get his money back because they want documented proof in
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: pay per form of where he lived more than twenty
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: years ago. I'm not gonna say that out loud, Joe.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 13: Eric.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: Joe suggested he knows where that money is and the
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: account that was closed an adult site specifically. But Cleveland Guardians,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: you know you want them to get the money. I
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: don't even know what the monkey business, Parker is. It's
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: in mommy, but they want ten thousand dollars for new
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: safety mats. See the asks are and who would have
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: thought of that? Tapping into government resources, i e. Your resources,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: your money to buy safety mats. Okay, what would you
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: spend the money on? Best suggestion, All Morning Jay on
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: medicaid fraud Here in the state of Ohio blamed in
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: part on the fact that there are so many different
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: computer systems in the very counties that we can't get
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: a lid on it. How about spending something less than
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: a billion I would imagine unconsolidating the computer systems so
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: they can communicate with each other, so we can figure
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: out if there is fraud, waste, or abuse going on
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: in any given government program. I think you'd get a
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: return on that investment. You might get more money back
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: than you spend doing the program. I thought that was
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: a great idea, So props to Jay for coming on
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: with that one early in the program. You may have
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: a better idea five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: and pound five fifties on AT and T Funds. Apologies
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: the Signal ninety nine. She was on the program yesterday
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: and I did think she used the S word. The
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: word was ship. Get the podcast. Did you five KC
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: dot com appreciate what she had to do and of
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: course one of the topics that she has been reporting
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: on her Facebook page again Signal ninety nine, Please Chief
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: three Sothiji. Remember when they put her on administrative leave
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: after the violence downtown Cincinnati, the melee, remember the one
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: where Holly got punched in the face. Somehow that's police
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: Chiefdiji's problem or fault. That's the only blockaway you can take.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: So anyway, So what did the city do? They didn't
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: have a reason to place run administrative leave. They never
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: articulated a single thing that she had done. She's been
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: involved in law enforcement for more than thirty years. She's chief.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: She's been chief since what twenty twenty three, And say
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: what you want about her. I don't know that she
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: did anything wrong. They certainly didn't say she did something
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: wrong to be put on administrative leave and have her
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: position take over by an interim chief. And of course
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: she lawyered up. But what did the city do?
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: They hired a law firm to investigate her background I
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: guess her entire thirty year history in law enforcement, and
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: they paid that law firm forty thousand dollars. That law
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: firm was supposed to end its investigation December of last year.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: And you may recall they already extended that law firm's
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: work because I guess they didn't find anything. The first
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: extension came at a cost of nine thousand dollars, and
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: we learned yesterday that since a communications director, Molly Lair,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: has announced yet another extension of that contract. But don't worry,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: apparently they're not going to charge for the further investigation.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: How long would it Could it possibly take a very
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: excellent law firm to find out a reason for putting
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: Police Chief Thiji on administrative leave. You'd think they just
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: would look at the city manager and say, hey, why
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: did you put her on administrative leave? Maybe that's where
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: they started. Maybe that's the response they got from Cheryl Long,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: Well that's why we hired you, isn't it anyway? Police Chief?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Theij's lawyer, an employment attorney, Steven m Quote, the mayor
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: and city manager should be ashamed of themselves for continuing
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: this charade of investigation. This was nothing but a cynical
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: political stunt from the start. It's a disgrace that this
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: city's leadership is now continuing to sacrifice the career and
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: reputation of such a dedicated and devoted public servant. Terry
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Thiji is a leader in the city and could be
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: proud the city could be proud of the same cannot
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: be said of the people who continue to leave her
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: twisting in the wind for no good reason. This sham
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: has already gone far, far too long. Chiefdiji has already
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: suffered far too much. Well well stated mister m. And again,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: get ready is this mister m I'm sure is going
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: to pursue a wrongful termination claim and employment claim of
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: some sort in the city of Cincinnat. He's going to
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: be writing yet another fat check while they look desperately
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: for a reason to justify their actions. We'll see what
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: John's got this morning, John, thanks for calling. Happy Friday
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: Hey, good morning. I'm Brian.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 18: I listened to you all the time. I live in
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 18: Columbus these days. About moved up here about five years
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 18: ago from northern Kentucky area.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: I'm listening absolutely.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 18: I'm listening to the conversations over the last several weeks
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 18: on regarding property taxes, and now the sports stadium issues
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 18: come come alive this morning. I wonder if this is
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 18: a question, and I'm going to hang up see if
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 18: nobody can answer. I wonder how many of these sports
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 18: organizations pay property taxes when their stadiums were built with
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 18: the property taxes provided the day pride them Holidays from
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 18: property taxes and you can throw in you could throw
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 18: in sales and use tax as well. The are they
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 18: paying these taxes? And if not, how about how about
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 18: some of this money going to property tax rebates for
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 18: those of us that are retired and trying to stand
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 18: our homes and given that we have to rent them
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 18: from the state of Ohio these days.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do appreciate everything. It's a great, great question.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: It's kind of weird because I think the county claims
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: ownership of like, for example, pay Corse Stadium, So would
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: the county pay property taxes on its own property. I
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: kind of doubt that. I don't know what the status
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: is with any one of these other entities that are
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: trying to get some of the money out of the
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: unclaimed funds pile. They could be. I mean, for example,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: the Toledo mud Hens Baseball Club. Is that is that
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: something owned by the city of Toledo or is that
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: a private club? They want four point four million dollars
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: to renovate their version of the fifth third field. Look,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: naming rights are getting money from that? I don't know.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe some smarter person out there, and I've got a
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: lot of smart people in the listening audience can to
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: answer that question. But yeah, I mean going back to
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: property taxes, why not just cut a billion dollars off
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: of O. Hioland's property taxes. I think there'll be a
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: better expenditure of a billion dollars than you know, peacemealing
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: it out to all these different sports organizations.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 7: Bread and Circus, Ingram fifty five k the talk station.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: Seven twenty Here in fifty five KRCD talk station Happy Friday,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: fish List fiftybou KRC dot Com Fish Friday, Congressman David
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Taylor after the top of the oir New was eight
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: oh five with Congressman Taylor. We had Congressman Davidson on yesterday,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: and if you can get a chance to listen to that,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: he did say here on the fifty five KRC Morning
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: Show he does believe Congress must declare war on Iran
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: an order for Donald Trump start dropping bombs on him,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: same position held by Congressman Massy. I'm I'm firmly in
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: that camp as well. And yesterday he did make a
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: further announcement just the second House Republican who plans to
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: support the resolution limiting President Trump's ability to take unilateral
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: military action on Iran. This is not Iran's coming across
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: the ridge with bombs and rockets and missiles. This is
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: Iran well and behind the scenes preparing bombs and missiles
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: and rockets for maybe some future conflict. We're not threatened
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: by him right away, draw your own conclusions differently. This
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: is obviously everybody's got one, you know, sphincter's. But the
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Constitution says what it does. He intends to back the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: War Powers resolution when it reaches the House floor next week.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: In fact, he is a sponsor of it, co sponsored
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: with of all people, shocking Congressman Thomas Massey. So I
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: have to ask a Congressman David Taylor what his position
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: on this as well. Yes, Israel is threatened maybe, but
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: not us. What else is let's see here?
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 11: Oh, I.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: Complicated. Talk often about the the mister Smith goes to
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: Washington philibuster, the standing philibuster, because, of course, did you
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: realize the government's shut down, Joe, did you get a
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: memo on that? Does it feel like it's shut down? Yeah?
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: I don't see a whole lot of chatter about it anymore. Anyway.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you're one of the people who's not
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: getting a paycheck. I truly apologize, but you will ultimately
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: get your money back anyway. The standing filibuster. Of course,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: Trump is pushing to get the Save Act move forward,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, but what would it What would actually unfold
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: if they did this talking filibuster, so explained by Mary
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: Clark Jallinick over Newsmax, and I thank her for doing
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: this because it is extremely complicated. So Mike Lee talking
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: about the philibuster allowing them to pass the legislation with
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: that having to go nuclear, you know, the sixty vote
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: threshold to move it forward. So if you go talking philibuster,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: basically it's a waiting game who can outweight the other guy.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: Each senator is allowed only two speeches on a specific
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: piece of legislation, and they point out the idea is
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: that Democrats would eventually run out of speeches or quit
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: due to exhaustion, allowing Republicans to move forward with a
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: simple majority. In fact, Michaeley said, we won't pass the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: Save America Act unless we start making filibusters. Senators speak.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: This will take time and effort, but we'd be crazy
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: not to give it the effort. It deserves, and yeah,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: I would default to that position immediately. But this is
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: how things kind of fall apart. Democrats would be able
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: to throw up procedural roadblocks like restarting the clock for
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: speeches if enough Republicans aren't present on the floor. That
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: means nearly all fifty three Republicans would need to remain
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: close to the Senate during the full duration of the
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: filibuster effort, while only one Democrat would have to keep speaking.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Are the Republicans willing to do that? Point it out
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: the process? I know Joe Strecker is cracking up out loud.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: The process could last for weeks, given there are forty
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: seven Democrats on the Senate, and again, each of them
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: gets a couple of speeches. And it's noted even if
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: Republicans managed to break the first filibuster, Democrats could then
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: offer an unlimited number of amendments amendments on anything they want,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: forcing the Republicans to take what are described as hard
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: votes in an election year and potentially adding some of
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: their own priorities to the legislation if they have some
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: bipartisan support. Every amendment would bring a new round of
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: speeches as well. Set majority of leader Throon said, we
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: have to have fifty to defeat every amendment, and that's
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: not where we are right now. Acknowledging out loud that
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: all these different amendments that might go along with the
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: Save Act, the Republicans aren't uniform lock step with regard
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: to each additional amendment. Now that's a stark contrast between
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: the Democrats and the Republicans, isn't it. Isn't it amazing
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: that evil Orange Man can unite the Democrats lock steps?
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: So I think they could definitively state I know how
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: many votes we have for any given amendment that's coming
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: our way. Question, does the amendment seek get the approval
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump? The answer to that is yes, then
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: we are a full lockstep. No, every Democrat will reject it, period.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: They've demonstrated that time and time again. So honestly, I'd
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: still like them to engage in the effort to try it.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: It would certainly keep them busy for a while, wouldn't it.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: Seven twenty five right now if you have KCD talk station,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: Foreign Exchange gotta pick my car today. They needed it
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: over to Ohio City's passing ordinances to restrict Ice and
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: his comments on the State of the Union address. Maybe
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: I'll get into chime in on what he would do
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: with a billion dollars rather than give it to sports
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: complexes in the state of Ohio. Let's go to the phones.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: They do have local stories, but I have a couple
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: of callers online which I prefer, Dick, Thanks for calling
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: this morning, and Happy Friday to you, sir.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 19: With regards to our Congress, who is still getting paid
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 19: while they do not legislate or represent our interest. They've
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 19: put the ox before the horse here, or the cart
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 19: before the horse, or something.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 10: They got backwards.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 19: The only people that shouldn't be getting paid are paid legislators.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 19: Congress Decisis really needs to communicate those little tiny words
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 19: to the Congress people. They can't spend their time when
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 19: they're not legislating listening to the arguments, supposedly listening to
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 19: arguments to fulfilling their campaign coffers for their next campaign
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 19: in which they're going to promise things and still not
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 19: execute them when they get into office.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 9: This is wrong.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 19: They are the Senate likes to think of themselves as
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 19: the most august deliverative body.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 9: On the planet.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 19: That's inordinately not true. Because when they stand up there
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 19: and talk in an empty chamber, they're not hearing. No
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 19: pain needs to be felt by the people that we
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 19: hired to do our representation for us. They're not doing it.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: You didn't call looking for an argument this morning, Dick.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 19: I can assure you, but it's incumbent upon the citizen
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 19: read to communicate that to their representatives.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: I applaud that effort. I truly do, sir. Yes, and
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I just went through the
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: whole concept of the talking filibuster, a process designed to
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: literally accomplish nothing but exhaustion. Think about that's that's it's
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: built into our government. You can literally stand there and
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: read a phone book. It's been done before, nothing but
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: a phone book. Use up time, Use up time, use
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: up time. To the other person says no, Moss, I
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: can't handle anymore. I want to go home. I want
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom or whatever. I'm loath to
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: find fault with our constitutional system of government, but I
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: think we just ran into some area where we can
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: find fault to what Bill's god this morning, Bill, thanks
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: for calling. Happy Friday to you, sir.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 20: Yeah right. I just wonder your input on a subject
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 20: that I delved into on the internet. Uh, the subject
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 20: being that can the government confiscate your goal? And you
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 20: be surprised about some of the things I read. Uh,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 20: there are evidently some circumstances that they can need to
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 20: declare by occurrences or uh declaration that that they could
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 20: can confiscate your goal. And f d R actually uh
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 20: delve into that a little bit. He made I think
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 20: he either made it a tempt at it or had
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 20: it on his bike. And my point is where if
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 20: the if the Liberals would igle and google their way
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 20: back into power the White House or Congress, the Congress, Uh,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 20: they could come up with some hokey thing and say, well,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 20: Donald Trump has created and emergency economic emergency with his policies,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 20: and so we're going to try to They can use
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 20: that the confiscate your goal.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: Theoretically. I mean, you know, the Constitution requires compensation when
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: property is taken from you, but your your your point's
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: well taken. When you step one step beyond that, the
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: governments say, okay, I'm taking your gold for filling the
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: blank reason. It have to be a pretty compelling reason.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: They return the value. All right, the taking has occurred,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: You will get dollars back in the form of fiat currency,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: which is one of the reasons why a lot of
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: people own gold in the first place, because they don't
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: believe in the fiat currency. They see it going to
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: collapse like five minutes down the road. So the mechanism
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: for recovering the loss in this case, the taking of
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: the gold or real property or something like that, is
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: to receive fiat currency. All that's public and private legal tender.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people out there wouldn't
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: think that that is fair compensation. Seven thirty five. If

  Speaker 1: and me thinking that she dropped the S word. It
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: was ship sinking ship Brian, there's some some really funny
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: banter back and forth. She put the link up in

  Speaker 1: her sight on Facebook, and of course it's right there
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: at fifty five kr s dot com, so you can't
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: listen to that. And and Joe's mime as well, strekker
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: you crack me up anyhow, it's right there. I to
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: have Kersey dot com. Congressman Davidson as well, and yes,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: he did stay on the Morning show that he would
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: vote for the War Powers Resolution to limit Donald Trump's
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: ability to wage war apps in congressional approval, which I approve.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: We're gonna ask David Taylor about that after the top
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: of the our news. And I don't know JD Van
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: said yesterday, and just the idea that we're going to
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: be in a Middle Eastern war for years with no
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: end in sight, there is no chance that will happen. Well,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: that runs contrary to the predictions of a whole lot
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: of people. And we just find out the other day
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: that a Chinese technology helps shoot down an American drone.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: Anybody put the China factor in there. You know, the
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: Iranians probably playing really cozy with the Chinese. Chinese are
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: in a great position to provide them with military hardware
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: and their technology, maybe extending the length and gravity of
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: the conflict if we start a war. And so they're
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: going to force a vote on to limit the president's warpowers.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: They're going to do it next. I'm just wondering whether
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: that's going to be quick enough as we stand on
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: the brink of war. And apparently apparently the negotiation just
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: between the US and your audience didn't bear any fruit,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: and so Vance, you have to go back, though, And
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: I have nothing against Jay Vance. He was a critic
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: of the Iraq war. The WMD based I think lie
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: that got us into that war. Oh my god, WMD's
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: we need to go to war. Okay, I didn't ever
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: find any But when asked about that, how can your
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: posture be of I'll just characterize it personally as pro
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: war when you were against the whole situation, which is
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: wildly reminiscent of the Iraq situation. Notably, given Donald Trump's
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: statement in the State of the Union address that they
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: have you know, they're they're working on long range missiles
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: or something that can fly six thousand miles and hit America.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: Is that the new WMD for this particular inevitable, seemingly
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: conflict anyway, I do, he said, I do think we
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: have to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. I
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: also think that we have to avoid overlearning the lessons
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: of the past. Just because one president screwed up a
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: military conflict doesn't mean we can never engage in military
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: conflict again. We've got to be careful about it. But
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: I think the President is being careful, then, saying when
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: asked about whether the administration prefers a diplomatic outcome of
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: the current standoff, he pointed out that the president and
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: he personally are against the whole idea of war, but it,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: in his words, depends on what the Iranians do and
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: what they say. Now. Currently, the posture is, the Iranians
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: must agree to our terms, which are basically completely getting
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: rid of the whole nuclear program and promising not to
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: build a nuclear bomb. And you know the demands, and
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: so far the Ridians have told up a metaphorical middle
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: finger to everything, saying no, no, no, no, and yesterday
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: seems to be a continuation of that. They have promised
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: a third round of talks. Will we keep things at
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: bay while the third round of talks goes on? I
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: sure hope so, But depends on what the Iranians do
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: and what they say. Is them saying no a justification
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: for war? Does that magically create them long term ICBMs
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: that can hit the United States? No, it doesn't change
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: that dynamic at all. It just means that they're not
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: going to agree to the terms of what we want,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: the demands we've placed upon them. Is that a sufficient
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: line the Iranians drew to justify dropping bombs and engaging
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: in regime change? It's a legitimate question. Donald Trump's previously
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: said he would do this if they couldn't come to terms.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: So the original of War Powers resolution to block Trump
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: to carrying out strikes without specific approval from Congress, co
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: led by ro Kana, Democrat from California, of course, and
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: Thomas Massey. Now Congressman Davidson has definitely said full on
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: I'm backing that vote. I'm going to vote for it,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: and there's a growing bipartisan cry to do exactly that.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: So it maybe we can avoid conflict because Congress actually
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: steps up and reasserts what's written in the Constitution, the
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: power vested in them to declare war or limited as
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: the case. Maybe seven forty five. If you have KCD
• 1:33:13

• 1:34:54
  Speaker 22: Oh, no problem, anytime crush some crime in Cincinnaty.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: Huh, every little bit helps, Terry.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 22: That's you know, to start off. You know, I agree
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 22: with a lot of your comments in the last segment
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 22: and the run up to war, but you know, to
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 22: clarify when you make the statements that there were no
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 22: weapons of mass destruction or precursors found in Iraq, it
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 22: is not correct. We pulled out tons of uranium yellow cake,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 22: I think, not enriched both.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: I think me and you both have.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 9: A problem the way it was sold.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: It was hype.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 13: It felt like a bait and switch.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 9: Because it wasn't onto the scale.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 22: But yet in the Packed Act that was passed by
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 22: a president Biden have been on the gathering steam under Trump,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 22: it covers soldiers during this time period of war exposure.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 13: To chemical weapons.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 22: If they didn't have them, then then how can you
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 22: file acclaim for and because they were used, whether they
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 22: were crude or refined, whether they were five years old
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 22: over twenty years old, it didn't matter. They were not
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 22: allowed to possess them.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: I get all that, I understand it, and I know
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: this is a touchy subject for a lot of people,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: because I've had people members of military say no, there
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: were weapons of mesters. Start. That's fine, and I understand
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: the pact that would certainly include that because there may
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: have been someone who was exposed to some form of
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: chemical agent if you were serving your country and you
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: can trace a line between your disability and your service
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: to the country because you were in a specific geographic
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: area where they were known to be burn pits or
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: any other given activity that might cause.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 13: This is not burn pits.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 22: We're talking about. All of the surveillent was used against
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 22: the infantry, against the Indiana Infantry Division, and they have
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 22: a numerous of cases of cancer because it was a
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 22: chemical that was directly used against them. All right, fair enough,
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 22: And the thing is is to sit here and say
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 22: that it minimizes and allows people to believe that no
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 22: one was you know, no one was exposed. They weren't there,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 22: and that's.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 3: Just not the truth.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: Well that's what the pack that is for. Because maybe
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: our elected officials were smarter than me. They just covered
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: all contingencies when they passed that. So go ahead and
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: make the claim. That's fine. All I know is in
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: final analysis that was the run up. That was the
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: impetus behind it. It got everybody jimmed up because we
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: all thought that dam and Sam was going to start
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: unleashing chemical warfare on the world, and quite frankly, that
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: actually didn't happen. To the best of my knowledge, maybe
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: I missed the article on it. Let's see what Jeff's
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: got this morning. Jeff, real quick, Welcome to the show.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 10: It's basically a first of all, good morning. It's basically
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 10: a follow up to the last call there. I remember
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 10: seeing all kinds of dead bodies on the TV when
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 10: Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons to kill the Kurds. There's
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 10: also reports of chemical weapons being used against the Iranians
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 10: by Saddam husseints. Now I'm pushing seventy. If I was
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 10: a racehorse, i'd been in the glue factory by now.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: But the weekend we again, the weekend Weekend Warrior program.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: You're eligible, sir, Yes, sir, I am.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 10: But it's my understanding that chemical weapons have been ruled
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 10: upon by the hag Quart or whatever it is, as
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 10: a weapon of mass destruction. If I am correct, then
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 10: you were wrong regarding the use of chemical weapons. And
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 10: I do not have the capacity on my tablet to
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 10: listen to you and refresh my memory at the same time.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 10: So since you guys up there are better computer folks
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 10: than me, check that out and get back. Well, you know,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 10: get it on the radio. Understanding Saddam Hussein used chemical
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 10: My god, there's villages of all these dead people when
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 10: he used them against the curve.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll still rest on and and I'm happy to
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: be proven wrong, Jeff all day long. I am a
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: human being, and I have been wrong before, and I'm
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: on record saying it. Happy to be happy to correct
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: the record at any given time. That's what we have
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: people like you, Jeff, listen the program or calling me
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: out where you think I'm wrong. But if Saddam is
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: saying did use chemical weapons on people? There, is that
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: a threat eminent or otherwise to the United States of America?
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: Is that something that justifies the unleashing of a war
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: on that country? That kind of thing happened. Genocide happens
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: all over the place. Look at the various countries in
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: Africa where they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people. Do
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: we have an obligation of going there and start dropping bomb?
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: So that's where I am, Roan is not getting ready
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: to attack us. They couldn't. They may be getting ready
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: to attack Israel, not the United States of America, which
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: suggests to me, since it's not an eminent threat to
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: the people or the folks here in the United States, Ah,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: then maybe there should be congressional action. That's where I am.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: But we're going to find out here in a couple
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: of minutes where David Taylor is on that wills get
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: his reaction to the State of the Union address and
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: comment or two on tariffs. David Taylor, Congressman after the
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: top our news fall by Jack Windsor, editor in chief
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: of the Hio Press Network at a thirty stick around today.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 15: It's tough headlines coming up at the top of the
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 15: hour because.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: The the talk station ATO six at fifty five krs
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: the talk station, It's Friday, and a happy one to you.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: Extra special day to day the return of Congressman David Taylor,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: probably representing the second District of Ohio in the swamp
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: that is Washington, DC. Welcome back, Congressman Taylor. It's great
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: having you on the show today.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian, thanks for having me, and happy Friday
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, appreciate that. Let's start with Iran. I
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: had Congressman Davidson on yesterday. He definitively stated that he
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: would be voting to support Rocanna Congressman Massey's efforts to
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: limit Donald Trump's ability to wage war absent congressional approval,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: which to me, sir, is consistent with the Constitution. He
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: then went out online and confirmed that he was in
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: fact doing that and that he had called for a
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: a classified briefing on the mission in Iran. Don't know
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: that he's gotten one yet, but he didn't end it back.
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: The War Powers Resolution said war requires congressional authorization. These
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: are actions short of war, but no case has been made.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: Can I ask you, sir, where are you on the
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: concept of just getting to drop bombs on Iran? Because
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: it looks like it's coming any moment, and that quite
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 1: frankly worries me.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more in Congressman Davidson is right as well.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: If we're going to conduct a war against the sovereign nation,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: Congress is supposed to authorize that. But as you mentioned,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: there are actions short of a war that the president
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: can take, and I'll look to see if I can
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 3: join Congressman Davidson for that briefing to see if we
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: can get a better handle on what, if any of
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 3: those possible kinetic strategies are and if they do in
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 3: fact require government or congressional authorization.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: I just I just really struggle with this one. And honestly, sir,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: I appraise you, and I'm glad to hear that is
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: your position relative to this this current conflict, in this situation,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm kind of wondering. You know, you're in
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: you're you're listening to your fellow congress persons, your fellow representatives,
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: you're there in the swamp. Is anybody alarmed over this?
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: Because there's not much way by way of out louds
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: typical screaming and yelling from politicians about Donald Trump going
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: off on his own and deciding on his own whether
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: or not to engage in a conflict which quite frankly
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: could get really really messy.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: It just sounds like it's one of those the silence
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: seems deafening kind of thing. Congressman Taylor, I agree, Brian.
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 3: You know, the big build up over there has been
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: growing for I guess maybe over a month now. It's
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: it's definitely been a steady build up in the area.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: And I think the part of the quiet you described
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: comes from our expectation that a deal is going to
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: be struck. I don't know the degree to which that was.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 3: That that idea was damaged this morning when I heard
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: that the potentially negotiations have broken off. I think that's
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: a concern. Yes, everyone wants wants a peaceful resolution. I
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 3: was talking to somebody in DC recently about you know,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 3: I think if there's this perception that Iran has been
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: as it is now forever, when when you and I
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 3: know that, you know, the rolling stones have been touring
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: way longer than these idiots have been in charge in Iran.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: So we're all hoping that they'll flink off into obscurity. Quietly,
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 3: it's looking less likely if as a result of today's
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 3: actions that that's that's likely, But you know, it's it's
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 3: something asked to watch carefully and conducted in accordance with
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 3: the Constitution.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: If it comes to that, well that's all I'm asking for.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: Deliberation and you know, a full awareness and maybe even
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: sort of an out loud mission statement. You know, what,
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: what are we hoping to accomplish. The reason we are
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: going to provide you with authorization to start dropping bombs
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: is because we want to accomplish fill in the blank objectives.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: So something sound like that, which could start the deliberative process.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: I think that's all a lot of Americans are looking for,
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: because people are going to die. American soldiers are going
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: to die. I think, unlike invading Venezuela and doing it
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, mission in and out,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a protracted military conflict given
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: the volume of weapons Iran has. We know that, and
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: then all of the military bases and all the assets
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: that we have in the surrounding region, and a lot
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: of of course friendly countries that we are. You know,
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: we'd like to maintain some similance of friendship with I
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: know Israel's may be threatened, but are we going to
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: go to war because Israel is literally threatened by this?
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, just too many questions, Congressman Taylor, All.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 3: Those all those things you pointed out are true, and
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: I'll add that, you know, Iran has a complicated relationship
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: with Russia and China. Yes, as far as was our
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: involvement could could trigger, So it has to be handled
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: very very delicately, and hopefully negotiations are resumed next week
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 3: as was originally the plan. And couldn't agree more that
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: this is something that can turn very bad, very fast,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 3: So hopefully cooler heads prevailed.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: I hate to laugh in response to that could happen
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: very bad, very fast. The vote on this, this War
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: Powers resolution is supposed to take take place next week,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: and since the talks kind of fell apart yesterday, very
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: fast could mean like the weekend, right, I mean, would
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: you put it? You wouldn't put it past Donald Trump
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: to just go ahead and move forward with the war
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: in advance of the vote on the War Powers resolution?
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: Would you.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 9: The only thing?
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: I would say, bright, I don't think we would be
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 3: committing troops to uh sort of landing and Iran absent
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 3: some intervention by Congress in advance. But not is impossible,
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 3: of course, but I'm sure we know with our intelligence
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: agencies exactly where every single Mola is every moment of
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 3: every day. Yes, an operation that sort of cuts the
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 3: head off the snake quickly and without boots on the
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 3: ground would wouldn't necessarily surprise me. But again, I'm hoping
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 3: for a negotiated deal and where our people are not
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: putt in danger, and neither are the people of Iran.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 3: The people of Iran are obviously rising up and dying,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: and there are tens of thousands against this papule regime.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 3: So we want, we want people to live freely in
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: Certainly the government of Iran does not agree with.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: Us on that, clearly, And you can already hear the
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: propaganda machine getting fired up to start talking about all
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: the civilian casualties, which will inevitably be the pro of
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: be a problem in a large broader scale military conflict.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: But I think you're right. I mean, we have demonstrated
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: we can find people and blow them up with persons accuracy.
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: I imagine the Mulas and the Ayatolla have all like
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: scattered in the wind and have all found comfortable hiding
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: spots that they think they can avoid detection. Because I
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to be walking around if I was one
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: of them out out in the open.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 3: No, I'm sure Sulimani thought the same thing.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. We know how that worked out.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: Ill table to take an early break because I want
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: to get your reaction to the State of the Union address,
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: and also a common or two on tariff since we
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: got a little bump in the road after the Supreme
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: Court decision. We'll take a break now it's eight to fourteen,
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: continuing with Congressman David Taylor.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 14: After these words, fifty five KRC texting rolls you.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: In recurring mode. I did marketing text messages come from fifty.
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 7: Five KRC the talk station.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: Eighteen here fifty five kr SE de talk station Brion
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: Thomas with Congressman David Taylor, probably representing the second district
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 1: here to Ohio Ian the swamp that we call Washington DC.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: David Taylor, you were at the State of the Union address.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: What was your reaction your response to it? Happy with it?
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: Was he missing anything? Or what were some of the
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: more important highlights from the State of the Union?
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 3: Sir, Yeah, that was a great night, Brian. I was
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 3: asked before we went into the State of the Union
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 3: what topic I was most hopeful that President Trump honed
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 3: in on during the State of the Union, And I said,
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 3: I want him to do a layout of everything that's
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 3: gone on this past thirteen months, all of the things
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 3: he said he was going to do during the campaign
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: that he went in and did, and that's exactly what
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 3: he did.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 8: It was.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 3: It was two hours long, but it was a very
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 3: fast two hours. And you know, I think hearing directly
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 3: from the from the President about what has been going
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 3: on in Washington, d C. Is about the only way
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 3: people get the truth. Everything that filled th through the
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 3: media gets spun in a very negative way. Yes, I'm
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 3: sure you saw the enthusiasm in the room, but one
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 3: moment that stood out to me, Brian was at one
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 3: point I started to clap for the President for pointing
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 3: out that the Democrats voted to raise everyone's taxes, but
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 3: I was immediately drowned out by them clapping for themselves.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're so proud of having screwed over working
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 3: people in America. That was one of the very few
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 3: applause moments we got from the Democrats. So I thought
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 3: that that was a notable thing. Yes, And I was
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 3: lucky enough to get to bring along Claremont County Sheriff
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 3: Chris Stratton, who I've known for over thirty years, haven't
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 3: worked at the Prosecutor's office back when around when he
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 3: started at the sheriff's office, and he pointed out that
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 3: you know, and you might have even seen his comments.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 3: He became sort of a media star there for a
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 3: little while because he at a roundtable he pointed out
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 3: that the if you compare the first year of the
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 3: Biden administration to the first year of the Trump administration,
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 3: there's an eighty percent reduction in overdose deaths in Clermont County.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 3: And that's the everything to do with Trump's border policy
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 3: and enforcement of the law inside the borders. And of
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 3: course Sheriff Stratton is playing a huge role in that too.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 3: He's a he's our sheriff now, but he's served the
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 3: county for over thirty years and doing a fantastic job, no.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: Question about that. I guess the one thing I'll observe,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: because I have my entire awareness of our national debt,
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: have been a deficit hawk. And the work, the information,
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: and the size of it just keeps getting worse and
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: worse and worse. We're on track to use up one
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty percent of GDP paying the debt service.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: That is probably within the next ten years or so,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: on the track we are. Donald Trump didn't mention it
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: at all, and no deficit hawk is Donald Trump. You
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: look at the first term, and you look at the
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: track we're on right now. That really worries me, so
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: the absence of a comment about that we need to
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: start cutting spending because at some point we're all going
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: to have to have our taxes raised through the roof
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: if we're going to ever try to pay it off,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: and we're on shaky ground.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 3: Congressman, I agree, Brian, and I do wish you would
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: have mentioned that there has been a considerable reduction and deficit,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 3: not that it's affected the debt yet, but incredible growth
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: we had for the first three quarters didn't result in
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: a large reduction in deficit itself. But the only thing
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: he mentioned on that point, and he may be right,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: I think he was kind of kidding, but I think
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 3: it would be pretty close. If we actually got rid
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 3: of the fraud that we're a billions of dollars a
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 3: frauduct it would it would be a huge reduction in
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 3: spending all by itself, and I think it would make
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 3: a significant impact.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you, David Taylor. Amen to that. If Minnesota alone
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: can be responsible for north of nine billion dollars in
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: just a handful of government programs, and those are federal
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: tax dollars, that's my dollars and year dollars and everybody
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: outside of the state of Minnesota is footing the bill
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: for that nonsense. One city, one city in one state
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: in this country. You know, it is insane the amount
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: of fraud that's out there. And boy, I wish we
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: could crack down on that. JD. Van's going to go
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: to work on that. I saw he's gonna He's cutting
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: off the reimbursements to Minnesota. It's a big warning shot.
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: They pad they spent that money already.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: And I was.
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 3: I was thrilled to see the vice president put in
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: charge of that project. I don't think you're going to
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 3: see something similar to Kamala being put in charge of
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: the southern borders and never even visiting the place. In
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 3: this case, I think the Vice president will be all
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 3: over that. And when you take decisive action early and say, hey,
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 3: the dollars are not coming until you clean up your act.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 3: Other states aren't under the microscope yet, take notice, and
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 3: hopefully they voluntarily clean up what they're doing.
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: Well, we know the Supreme Court ruled on Tariff's the
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: other day, not favorable to Trump in a six or
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: three decision that was based on the one statute or
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: law that Donald Trump asserted and underclaiming there was an emergency.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have that authority, says the Supreme Court. So
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: he pivots over to another set of statutes or laws
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: that allow us to put some tariffs in place. You
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: know that's going to be temporary by the time it's litigated.
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: It maybe down the road a while. But I suspect
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: the same result. Where are we without Donald Trump being
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: able being free to levy tariffs? Do you think Congress
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: will ever embrace the concept and an active on their
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: own or codify what he has tried to do so far?
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 3: Well, while I don't agree with the the decision that
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 3: the Supreme Court came down with, I don't think they
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 3: They are as always a little bit of a frustrating
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 3: decision with the Supreme Court. They don't give you all
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 3: that you ask forever. In any case, they sort of
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 3: make the narrowest decision they can possibly make, and they
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 3: did that again. I think there's you know, obviously there's
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 3: basis for several other ways for the presidents of the
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: levy terriffs, and he's carrying on with that. The problem
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 3: with the congressional action on on tariffs every other country
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 3: in the world can do it flexibly and quickly, and
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 3: we have to run every move through this this body
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 3: that is is designed to be slow. So it's it's
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 3: impossible to have a competitive situation that that should advantage
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: or at least make us on level terms with other countries.
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 3: So we do need to come up with a way
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 3: that they can be used fairly to America's benefit, no
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 3: matter who's president.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: I agree, but you know, you go to that pesky constitution.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: It does have to be interpreted and even to the
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Yet again, perhaps is interpreted in a way
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: that we don't like. It does force a deliberative process.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: It requires Congress to get involved. And right, we're not
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: a dictator. We're not Jijinping who can launch missiles and
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: drop bombs whenever he decides he wants to or levy taxes.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: We're stuck with that constitution, so it can get.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 3: I agree completely that the executive branch is supposed to
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 3: have jurisdiction over foreign affairs. I consider that certainly foreign
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 3: affairs adjacent. Yes, it has to land somewhere that makes sense.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, he most certainly used tariff as a mechanism to
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: engage in foreign affairs, and that was his argument. I
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: understand that argument. Congressman David Taylor, thanks for the time
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: you're willing to spend with my listeners and me from
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: time time. I'd really appreciate having you on the program.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: And I thank you very much for your your your
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: joining in Congressman Massey and Congressman Davidson and saying no,
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: you need congressional involvement on the launching of war against Iron, Sir.
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing a more formal statement on that,
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: maybe a vote next week. We'll just keep our popcorn
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: out and pray to God that we're not going to
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: go to war tomorrow.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 3: Brian, thanks for having me on, and there's a lot
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 3: of important things to think about right now. It's good
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 3: to be with you, it sure is.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: And thank you very much for engaging in the discussion
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: here in the fifty five.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 7: Kick KINGRA the talk station.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: Hey thirty one fifty KRC the talk station. It is
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: a very happy Friday my perspective, anyway, I'm always good
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: in a good mood on a Friday, and always in
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: a good mood when there he is. Jack Windsor from
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: the High Press Network joins a program every week at
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: this time we try to get Jack Winsor on. You
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: can find him online at the Ohio Pressnetwork dot com
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: and I'll encourage you to bookmark that site. Welcome back,
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: Jack Windsor. It's good to have you on the program
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: and good to see you. I can see it.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 23: Yeah, it's good to be on with you. It's always
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 23: an honor and a pleasure. Thanks for choosing me.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: Oh no, it's it's fun having a conversation with you.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: You really do pay a very close attention and you're
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: you know, you've got excellent comments and his student observations
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: on things going on in around Ohio. And I'm going
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: to throw you a little bit of a curb. I
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: know we're going to be talking about the rank choice
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: voting the other day, which was a great outcome. And
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: people don't understand, obviously the supremacy clause in various states
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: trying to prohibit ice coming into their neighborhoods because it's
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: the problem with that in the city of Cincinnati. By first,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: I know you're a huge fan of given the Cleveland
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: Brown six hundred million dollars for their stadium, did you
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: see all the people putting their hand in the unclaimed
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: funds cookie jar now or at least trying to jack.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 23: Absolutely, And you know that's the thing. Once you open
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 23: that door, everybody wants to walk in. And I say jokingly,
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 23: but part of me means it. The Cleveland Browns might,
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 23: I don't know, they might deliver some sort of public service.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 23: But I look at what you and I do, Brian,
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 23: and what we do I think is more important for
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 23: equipping voters to fulfill their civic duty. Why don't we
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 23: get a few million dollars?
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: That's me right, I was asking that question loud, all right,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: because the reality, as we all know this, of course
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: I said it a few times this morning. The asks
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: from government are always unlimited. The finite or the reality is,
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: is a finite amount of money. So what would you
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: spend a billion dollars on if you were in charge
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: of the money. And the last thing on my list
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: would be anything related to sports complexes, especially when you
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: got folks like the Cleveland brown multi multi millionaires. They're
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: supposed to make a profit. It's a going concern. It's
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: a business worth billions of dollars. Okay, we had a
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: listener call in just to your point, he said, I'm
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: seven years old. You know I'm feeling I got paying
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. His warranties up, he said,
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: I think I deserve the money. How about a weekened
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: week end warrior fund for those people who become exhausted
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: from their day to day living and earning their whole life.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: How about kicking back a little bit to them?
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 23: Hey, listen, there are valid arguments if the Cleveland Browns
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 23: get money. There are many, many people who would have
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 23: an extremely valid argument to the common man why they
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 23: should get money. And the last thing I will say
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 23: is this, if you listen to or read anything in
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 23: the investment world, they'll tell you that past performance is
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 23: no indication of future performance, but you ought to pay
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 23: attention to what the past performance is. Well, the Cleveland
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 23: Browns are just an abysmal losing organization. Why would I
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 23: want to assist the Cleveland brownsing By the way, I
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 23: grew up a Cleveland Browns fan. I just don't think
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 23: they have any any right putting their hand in the
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 23: cookie jar.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: Well, regardless of how they play, because there's no guarantee.
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: You know, the world's an imperfect place. Screws fall out
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: and top rank five hundred million dollar contract. Quarterbacks do
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: get injured.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 23: You got no control over that, true, but yeah, just
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 23: don't get a massage when you get hurt, right, right,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 23: if you're a Browns quarterback.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: But the more fundamental question is, let's look at past performance.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: How much money, for example, did the Cleveland Browns actually
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: generate as a consequence of any given football game being played?
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: Can you really put that on paper? Is it really
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: worth as much money as they're planning on spending the
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars on? Is there an ROI? I would argue
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: probably not.
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 23: No, And in fact, there are people who are a
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 23: lot smarter than me that have done the analysis here.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 15: Yes, And it's always the marketing plan.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 23: The voters get the marketing plan, but when you look
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 23: at the operational plan, the ROI, the prom and this
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 23: is they're never fulfilled.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 15: This is an ongoing issue.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 23: Yet for some reason, lawmakers people in power here in
• 1:59:08

  Speaker 1: I know you can see me, and you maybe you
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: saw me laughing. You probably love Joe Labbing. Just one
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: more comment on the Ohio Sports Facility grant program. Everybody's
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: putting their name in the ring to get some money
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: out of it. One of the ones I highlighted earlier
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: this morning and made the comment about Faith Baptist Church
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: in Shelby County's looking for three quarters I'm sorry, looking
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: for yeah, three quarters of a million dollars for the
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: construction of the Kingdom Sports Complex described as an indoor
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: sports facility. I said, I guess you know that's in
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: honor of all the sports that Jesus played. And you
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: remember reading in the Bible about that. I was saying,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: maybe he was a lacrosse player or something, but Joe
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: pointed out, no water polo. Because he did so, I said, Joe,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: create a meme. And this is I was cracking up
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: because Joe sent me the chat GPT created meme and
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: it's Jesus walking on water with the water ball of
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: his All the other apostles and disciples are in the
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: water saying, hey, hey, come on, that's unfair. So levity
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: on a Friday. Hey, you know, I hear he was
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: quite the carpenter. He might put Louisville slugger out of business.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: I would say that he you know what, you just
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: qualified him for the to make a claim to the fund.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: Congratulations Jack, That's why I appreciate your joining in the
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: fund on a Friday. Here. Now, pivoting over ranked choice
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: voting is no longer lawful in the state of Ohio.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: Tell us about Senate Bill sixty three and the vote
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: in the House yesterday or the other day.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 23: Yeah, so there was a vote in the House sixty
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 23: three to twenty seven to to pass an amended version
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 23: of Senate Built sixty three. Now it does have to
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 23: go back unless it happened yesterday back to the Senate
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 23: quickly where it will get passed very very quickly. But
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 23: the House puts something in it that would require anyone
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 23: who requests a ranked choice ballot that that information would
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 23: be made public. They wanted to make sure that if
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 23: anyone was trying to do this that they were exposed.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 23: But what the bill will do is it will outlaw
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 23: ranked choice voting.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 15: And you go, well, why is that?
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 23: Well, because proponents argue, it's about ensuring election integrity, fair elections,
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 23: and protecting democracy. It's what the left likes to say
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 23: from what they see as confusing or manipulative voting tactics.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 23: Now it's more than one person, one vote, right, That
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 23: was the mantra we heard a couple of years ago.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 15: That's the simple explanation.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 23: The more complex explanation is that ranked choice voting let's
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 23: voters rank candidates in order of preference rather than making
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 23: one choice, and if no candidate in the election receives
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 23: more than fifty percent, the lowest vote getter is eliminated,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 23: and then those votes are redistributed until a majority is reached.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 23: And this has created chaos, confusion wherever it has been done.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 23: And I reminded our readers in the story that this
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 23: was done in Ohio in the early nineteen hundreds of
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 23: through the nineteen fifties, and the places that tried it,
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 23: they eventually walked away from it. And it looks like
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 23: it will then be back in place where ranked choice
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 23: voting is not only not the preferred voting method, but
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 23: it would be outlawed.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 15: Now you go, does it have teeth?
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 23: Yes, the local government fund would be withheld from any
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 23: municipality or chartered county that tries to use ranked.
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: Choice vot Oh, the financial penalty goes along with it. Yeah,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: well that's you know, carrots and penalties. You accept the
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: money to your own peril, or you don't take the
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: money of your own peril. Either way, it reminds me
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: of the extortion that was loving on Ohio back when
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: I was I guess I was already grandfathered in. When
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 1: the drinking age was changed. The federal GOM withheld our
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: highway funds unless we voted to increase the drinking age
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: of twenty one. That's extortion. But they've got the money
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: and they have control over where it goes and how
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: it's spent, so they can put those kind of strings attached.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 15: I guess yeah, they can.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 23: And you know, one of the arguments was that this
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 23: violates Ohio's constitution with respect to local control or local rule,
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 23: and opponents quickly point out that, no, the legislature has
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 23: the right to regulate elections here in the Buckeye State.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 23: The other misnomer that's being argued is that it would
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 23: disenfranchise voters and it would allow what we would consider
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 23: mud slinging and campaigns to continue. Opponents say that those
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 23: two things would be addressed, but unfortunately for them, there
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 23: was a study at the University of Minnesota in two
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 23: thousand and three that said rank choice voting does not
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 23: reduce negative campaigning or polarization, and does not boost voter
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 23: turnout or the diversity of winners. So the arguments that
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 23: detractors are making really just don't hold up when you
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 23: look at the facts.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: Well, given the claim that it violates a House constitution,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: I trust that at some point someone's going to file
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: a lawsuit claiming that the act isn't in it self unconstitutional.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 23: Yes, And in fact, I had Marcel Sturbige on this
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 23: show yesterday. I invited Robert Sprague. He has not returned
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 23: my calls. But Marcel came on and said, one of
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 23: the challenges with this law is that it will be
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 23: contested and it may be found that withholding money is
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 23: not legal, and so that may take the teeth out
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 23: of it, and then all of a sudden you've codified
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 23: ranked choice voting. So his argument is this needs to
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 23: be a constitutional amendment where it's no longer negotiable.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, We'll continue with Jack Windsor and hear about
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: the failure to understand the supremacy clause. Here in Ohio the.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 7: Talk station.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: Eight nine, the fifty five KRC, the talk station by
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: Thomas right here, wishing everyone a very happy Friday. Put
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: a smile on your.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 6: Face, say it to yourself.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: Jack Windsor, what a wonderful world. In the Jack Winsor
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: from the Hoigh Press Network on the program, We're going
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: to dive on into well the supremacy clause specifically, I
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: guess Clumbus City Council doesn't understand the Constitution or its workings.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: But real quick, here in your honor, Jack Judge Strecker
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: made a meme of Jesus putting Louisville Slugger out of business.
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: He said he would send it to you later on
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: this later in the day. So we got one more. Anyway,
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: let's go to the Columbus City Council passing an ordinance
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: to restrict ICE agents. Looks like Jack froze up. You there,
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: We got it. We have a technical difficulty, Joe Air,
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 1: are you a back Jack.
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 15: I'm here, I'm here, Sorry about that. That's all right,
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 15: all right, So.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: Columbus City Council and City of Cincinnai's doing something along
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: these same lines. Let's talk about this, Jack.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 23: Yeah, it's pretty disturbing. So city council here in Columbus
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 23: passed some ordinances to bar Columbus police from entering agreements
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 23: with ICE to carry out federal immigration work, to prohibit
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 23: city employees from taking second jobs with ICE, to require
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 23: a special use permit for any detention centers, a step
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 23: that effectively blocks new facilities, to forbid ICE from using
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 23: city owned parking lots, garages, vacant land for operations.
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 15: Without out a judge's warrant, to make it.
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 23: A first degree misdemeanor punishable by up to three days
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 23: in jail and a thousand dollars fine. To harass, stalk,
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 23: or obstruct people at schools or daycare centers, so on
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 23: and so forth. And so the city council is doing
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 23: exactly what the mayor here Andrew Ginther, is doing, which
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 23: is they're continuing to posture and let everyone know that
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 23: they do not want to play nice with ICE agents.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 23: And it goes to the heart of what you're talking about, Brian.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 23: Unfortunately for city council, I don't know how many of
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 23: them have read the United States Constitution. Because the president
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 23: has full prerogative to enforce laws on the books. That
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 23: means that ICE agents, border patrol agents, homeland security investigators
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 23: can do exactly what they are doing, and if localities
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 23: want to push back, too bad, because immigration is the
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 23: express or the express authority in creating immigration laws and
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 23: practices resides with the federal government. So there's really no
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 23: reason that I think they're doing this, Brian, other than
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 23: just political posturing.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, state judges must follow federal law, and conflicts arise
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: with state laws or constitution, so boom. Those obviously were
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: designed to conflict with federal law.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 23: Yes, and so I think again, like many people on
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 23: the left, these folks are trying to appeal to their
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 23: extreme left voters doing the dog and pony show. Eventually
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 23: this will get tossed out, it will be found unenforceable.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 23: But they can go back to their voting base and
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 23: go see, see we pushed back against the.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: Bad guys, virtue signaling, Hey we tried, those evil Republicans.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't let us do it? All right? D pivoting over yeah,
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: Jack windsor just general reaction. No opinions are like sphincters.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: We've all got one. But just curious to know your
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: reaction to the State of the Union address? Have everything
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: in it you wanted? Was it missing something? One of
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: the things that was missing for me was, you know,
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: a profound comment on the state of the grave state
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: we're in with regard to the national debt. Donald Trump
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: no deficit hawks, So we got that as a genuine problem.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: But beyond that, I thought it was pretty damn good.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 23: My thirty thousand foot analysis, Brian, I hate to be
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 23: this guy because I get accused of being, you know,
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 23: a Trump boot licker, and I'm not. I think it's
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 23: one of the best speeches he's ever given. He covered
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 23: the economy, the border, energy, foreign policy, government efficiency. He
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 23: did an incredible job of honoring heroic Americans, and I
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 23: think I felt more like an American and after watching
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 23: that speech than I have any other State of the
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 23: Union address in my recent memory. And the thing that
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 23: Trump did that he doesn't often do is he stayed
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 23: on target. And when he did make those off the
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 23: cuff comments, they were gold. When he said these people
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 23: are crazy, everybody in the country that has a fair
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 23: mind kind of went.
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 15: You know, they're kind of right he is.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 1: You know, That's I guess something else I completely agree
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: with you about. Jack. I was worried, you know, I
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: woke up in the morning he said the longest presidential
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: address in the history, and like, I hadn't read it yet,
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: and I didn't get to watch it because I go
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 1: to bed at EPM, you know, I gotta get up
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: at two thirty. But when I read it, I was
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: so please and know in spite of the length, that
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: he really stayed on message. You could read the topic
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: here it comes boom on this, blah blah blah, blah
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: blah blah, on this, blah blah blah. And I think
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: he hit all the major topics and certainly highlighted the
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: accomplishments of the first year.
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 23: Yes, and I think if I still have just a
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 23: moment here. I think he set a bear trap that
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 23: the Democrats walked right into. It was brilliant for him
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 23: to say, stand up if you believe the number one
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 23: responsibility of the federal government is to protect American citizens,
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 23: and all the Democrats sat down, maybe with the exception
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 23: of John Fetterman.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 1: That was brilliant.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 23: If you're a running for office and you're a Republican
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 23: this year, you ought to put that in your campaign commercial.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: Excellent. Well, you would get accused of being a bootlooker,
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: and Ernie thinks there's an email I got from Ernie.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 1: As usual, you don't agree with the president. So yeah,
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: opinions of likesphincters, everybody's got one, and sometimes they're wrong.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: Jack windsor the Ohio Pressnetwork dot Com. I'll look forward
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: to having you back on the show next week. Jack,
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 1: have a great weekend, you too, brother. God bless you,
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: God bless you, sir. Eight fifty five
