Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: Five o five. I think if I have KRC decoxcation,
- 0:11Speaker 1: happy Wednesday.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Some.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Well vation, and that's the way the news going.
- 0:30Speaker 1: It is, whether they like it or not, and not
- 0:32Speaker 1: a whole lot of good in there from my perspective. Anyway,
- 0:34Speaker 1: Brian Thomas right here, thank you Dan Carroll for covering
- 0:36Speaker 1: for me a couple of days of feeling really really
- 0:39Speaker 1: really dizzy and uncomfortable after the chemo. That is reality
- 0:42Speaker 1: of cancer. Cancer sucks. It's one thing, in spite of
- 0:45Speaker 1: the divisions in this country that I regularly point out
- 0:48Speaker 1: in the hope that we can least join together in
- 0:51Speaker 1: unity over something cancer sucks. So anyway, thank you Dan
- 0:54Speaker 1: Carrell for doing the last couple of days, and we'll
- 0:57Speaker 1: do it again next month. Three more two day rounds
- 1:01Speaker 1: of chemo and then hopefully I'll get some remission. One
- 1:04Speaker 1: can only hope for that. Coming up with the fifty
- 1:06Speaker 1: five Carrisy Morning Show. I love Wednesdays on the Morning
- 1:09Speaker 1: Show because beginning get seven oh five, first guest to
- 1:11Speaker 1: the morning seven oh five, and I hope you know
- 1:13Speaker 1: by now that's the big picture with Jack Adamant today,
- 1:17Speaker 1: Iran and History's turning points perfectly timed topics. Since our
- 1:21Speaker 1: NATO allies are not interested in helping us help them
- 1:24Speaker 1: by keeping the price of global oil down opening the
- 1:27Speaker 1: straight of horror moves, that's weird anyway. We certainly a
- 1:31Speaker 1: lot to dive in on that one. Complicated. Yeah, many
- 1:36Speaker 1: blaming Donald Trump for NATO's unwillingness to help us put
- 1:40Speaker 1: some mind sweepers into the straight of horror moves. They
- 1:43Speaker 1: didn't consult with the NATO allies, or Trump didn't consult
- 1:46Speaker 1: with the NATO allies before launching the strikes in Iran. Okay,
- 1:54Speaker 1: but they're the ones that are struggling and suffering. I
- 1:56Speaker 1: think it maybe has something to do with their global
- 1:59Speaker 1: warming policies and their need to get rid of carbon
- 2:01Speaker 1: dioxide from the planet, obviously profoundly impacting their economies before
- 2:07Speaker 1: the strikes on Iran, and they are heavily dependent upon
- 2:11Speaker 1: the strait of horm moves to get their energy. So
- 2:13Speaker 1: sucks to be You put yourself in an untenable position,
- 2:16Speaker 1: makes it a little difficult to really do anything, except
- 2:19Speaker 1: I suppose if they helped open up this strait of
- 2:21Speaker 1: horror moves, it might solve a bit of their energy
- 2:24Speaker 1: problems and brings some global stability. Many observers point out,
- 2:28Speaker 1: the United States probably would not be very isn't being
- 2:31Speaker 1: impacted to the extent everybody else in the world is
- 2:33Speaker 1: because we are a net exporter of oil and natural gas,
- 2:38Speaker 1: so we're not feeling the pain that the rest of
- 2:39Speaker 1: the world is feeling. Hmm. Let's see here as I
- 2:43Speaker 1: look and scan the news here, all of the Arab
- 2:44Speaker 1: States are desirous of US wiping out the Iranians so
- 2:49Speaker 1: they no longer have a stranglehold of the strait of hormones.
- 2:52Speaker 1: It's going to benefit them. They're on launching a lot
- 2:54Speaker 1: of missiles into their countries seemingly for no reason. What
- 2:57Speaker 1: are you doing hitting civilian targets in countries that did
- 3:01Speaker 1: not launch an attack on you, say, the Arab States
- 3:03Speaker 1: neighboring countries. So they're all lined up in support of
- 3:06Speaker 1: the United States, unlike our NATO allies. And are they
- 3:12Speaker 1: allies who are also profoundly impacted by the straight h
- 3:16Speaker 1: hoorm moves being shut down? Yet art willing to give
- 3:19Speaker 1: us some mind sweepers anyway, Donovan and Neil Americans were
- 3:22Speaker 1: prospered every Wednesday at seven thirty AFP. Donovan and Neil
- 3:25Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about AFP action in Ohio and
- 3:28Speaker 1: the need to support John Houston over Shared Brown. Well,
- 3:31Speaker 1: that's dating the obvious. Judge edenal Paula timerret eight thirty
- 3:36Speaker 1: free speech for thee but not for me. It's got
- 3:40Speaker 1: a problem with equal time. I did point out to
- 3:44Speaker 1: Judge of Poulaitano Joe that those who request equal time
- 3:48Speaker 1: usually regret doing it. I know last one did. I
- 3:55Speaker 1: had a friend of mine was all on board for
- 3:58Speaker 1: Putch and I sent him a link to the meltdown.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Still didn't get a response from him because he was
- 4:07Speaker 1: taken aback by the meltdown. And if you didn't hear that,
- 4:12Speaker 1: you find the podcast at fifty five years dot com.
- 4:15Speaker 1: UH Brian Smith, executive director Butler Kunty Historical Society. We're
- 4:18Speaker 1: talking about an evening with Marty Brenneman that's at the
- 4:21Speaker 1: tail of the program in the eight o'clock hour tomorrow.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Congressman Warren Davidson. And yes, I heard media aviation expert
- 4:26Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe, as I stare at many reports about airports,
- 4:30Speaker 1: complete airports being shut down because well they won't fund government.
- 4:35Speaker 1: The Democrats keeping government shut down. It's all over Department
- 4:39Speaker 1: of Homeland Security tactics. Meanwhile, their constituents are planning well
- 4:45Speaker 1: three to four hour delays. I imagine Jay Ratlife might
- 4:51Speaker 1: have something to say about that. Maybe you have something
- 4:52Speaker 1: to say five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
- 4:56Speaker 1: eight hundred eight to two three talk go with pound
- 4:58Speaker 1: five fifty if you're on an AT and T phone.
- 5:00Speaker 1: But ahead of global issues, let's start in the city
- 5:02Speaker 1: of Cincinnati.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Hmmm.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Two separate articles from the Enquirer a review of the
- 5:09Speaker 1: opinion survey recent survey residents in the city of Cincinnati. Apparently,
- 5:19Speaker 1: people not satisfied with this image, the city's image, and
- 5:21Speaker 1: the quality of life. Thank you, Scott Warpman over the Inquirer.
- 5:25Speaker 1: H let's see perception of the city taking a hit
- 5:28Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. This according to the
- 5:30Speaker 1: residence survey findings presented of the city Council yesterday, more
- 5:36Speaker 1: residents feel unsafe. Majority of those responding unhappy with how
- 5:41Speaker 1: the city has maintained streets. Numero uno. I guess that
- 5:48Speaker 1: pesky infrastructure maintenance is catching up with aftab Parvall's ribbon
- 5:53Speaker 1: cutting ceremonies at skateboard parks. As I see the city
- 5:57Speaker 1: is prepared to allocate eight million dollars, Joe, Do we
- 6:00Speaker 1: not have a budget shortfall? Did I misread that there's
- 6:04Speaker 1: an insufficient amount of dollars flowing into the city of
- 6:07Speaker 1: Cincinnati such that they got to close something around thirty
- 6:10Speaker 1: million dollar hole. But we're gonna give eight million dollars
- 6:13Speaker 1: to support the Farmer Music Center, which is where the
- 6:16Speaker 1: Sunlight Pool used to be, so it can be done
- 6:21Speaker 1: on time the city needs it. That's right, Joe, Because
- 6:27Speaker 1: the city residents have an expectation that there's going to
- 6:30Speaker 1: be yet another music venue for them to go to.
- 6:33Speaker 1: The Brady Music Center insufficient to satisfy the community's needs
- 6:37Speaker 1: for music or something. Oh, you think it's another place
- 6:42Speaker 1: to get a beat down. I never felt uncomfortable at Riverbend.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I've seen quite a few concerts of Brady Music Center.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Even I never felt any fear or concern walking from
- 6:54Speaker 1: my car at River Bend to get to the Riverbend
- 6:57Speaker 1: or P and C music venues. Ever, I no feeling
- 7:02Speaker 1: like I had to look over my shoulder. That is
- 7:05Speaker 1: a persistent and common feeling when I'm walking from wherever
- 7:08Speaker 1: I park to get out of the Brady Music theater.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Now you may think I am being perhaps paranoid, but
- 7:15Speaker 1: I'm aware of some rather significant criminal activity that's gone
- 7:18Speaker 1: down around the banks. Anyway, back over the opinion of
- 7:21Speaker 1: the city. This is since twenty twenty one, Warpman replights
- 7:26Speaker 1: the Warpman Reports. As part of the budget process to
- 7:31Speaker 1: determine the city priorities, they contract out with a Kansas
- 7:36Speaker 1: based company to survey residents every two years on the
- 7:40Speaker 1: state OF's satisfaction. They interviewed, or they pulled twelve hundred
- 7:43Speaker 1: and thirty four residents. What are they determined? A little
- 7:50Speaker 1: less than half forty eight percent satisfied with the overall
- 7:54Speaker 1: quality of life in the city of Cincinnati. Okay, well,
- 7:56Speaker 1: what does that relate to? Well, rewind two years when
- 7:59Speaker 1: they lasted the survey twenty twenty three, sixty five percent
- 8:02Speaker 1: of residents were satisfied. That would be a well, in
- 8:06Speaker 1: my subjective opinion, a precipitous drop, largest single drop in
- 8:12Speaker 1: perception residence. Overall image of the city would drop from
- 8:16Speaker 1: sixty five positive to forty two positive. Oh, if you're
- 8:21Speaker 1: a margin of ra person two point seven eight percent,
- 8:24Speaker 1: So up or down either way, it certainly does not
- 8:27Speaker 1: close the gap sixty four percent majority gave city high marks.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Is a good place to live great? In twenty twenty
- 8:36Speaker 1: three it was eighty one percent. What's number one based
- 8:44Speaker 1: on the survey results, Road and sidewalk maintenance number one
- 8:49Speaker 1: out of thirteen city services. That existing infrastructure obviously matters.
- 8:55Speaker 1: What if they think of the broken windows theory. You know,
- 8:57Speaker 1: if you fix the broken windows slap code of paint
- 9:00Speaker 1: on neighborhoods, it makes them look safe, and people then
- 9:03Speaker 1: feel safer. I suppose if your entire city's infrastructure, the
- 9:08Speaker 1: sidewalks in the roads are filled with potholes, it just
- 9:11Speaker 1: looks bad generally speaking. Anyway, that's number one, ranked last
- 9:18Speaker 1: in satisfaction in spite of the fact that it's the
- 9:20Speaker 1: number one most important thing for respondents in the survey.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Residents far more dissatisfied with the condition of city streets
- 9:28Speaker 1: compared with other cities. Oh there's that other city survey
- 9:31Speaker 1: cities of two hundred and fifty thousand or more. Because
- 9:33Speaker 1: some are saying, well, these marks are down, but are
- 9:35Speaker 1: all down across all the cities in this in this
- 9:38Speaker 1: size of cities and in the country. Yeah, well, okay,
- 9:41Speaker 1: not really. Only twelve percent are responded say they were
- 9:45Speaker 1: satisfied with how the cities handled potholes twelve percent. Who
- 9:50Speaker 1: do you think is that twelve percent? Oh, you think
- 9:57Speaker 1: Iris Rolis had her street paved? Joe fair enough, it's
- 10:00Speaker 1: a gas. I didn't expect it to be accurate. Just
- 10:02Speaker 1: looking for a well as subjective comment. Or two larger cities, though,
- 10:07Speaker 1: thirty five percent are satisfied with how the cities handle
- 10:10Speaker 1: their cities have handled potholes, so we are far behind
- 10:13Speaker 1: the grade on that. One described as less gloomy only slightly, though.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Residents of the city regarded the sidewalks eighteen percent versus
- 10:23Speaker 1: the roads. If you go to comparable cities of two
- 10:25Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand or more, it's forty one percent satisfaction,
- 10:28Speaker 1: So we're behind the eight ball on that as well.
- 10:31Speaker 1: In terms of safety, residents feel less safe in the city,
- 10:35Speaker 1: again compared to peer cities, taking the wind out of
- 10:39Speaker 1: the sales for those that said it's bad everywhere. Surveys
- 10:42Speaker 1: showed thirty two percent satisfied or very satisfied with how
- 10:45Speaker 1: safe they feel in downtown, compared to fifty three percent
- 10:49Speaker 1: in other large cities. Two years ago, forty percent surveyed
- 10:52Speaker 1: said they felt safe. So a drop of eight points
- 10:55Speaker 1: on that one. And here is one of the problems
- 11:00Speaker 1: in the survey. Well, it's actually not in the survey.
- 11:03Speaker 1: It's a reflection in the survey. Wartman reporting property crime
- 11:08Speaker 1: in downtown and over the Rhine jumped seventy five percent
- 11:13Speaker 1: between twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five. Property crime
- 11:18Speaker 1: and a lot of car breake ins are driving the
- 11:21Speaker 1: property crime question if you're out in the suburbs. And
- 11:23Speaker 1: many are suggesting in this well, this spending survey that
- 11:27Speaker 1: came out, the amount of economic activity completely separate survey.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Economic activity in downtown and over the city since an
- 11:34Speaker 1: over the Rhine has decreased, and some are suggesting that's
- 11:37Speaker 1: because you suburbanites out there outside of the two seventy
- 11:40Speaker 1: five belt aren't coming into the city anymore. Question much
- 11:44Speaker 1: in the same way, I feel a little uncomfortable, although
- 11:47Speaker 1: it hasn't kept me away from the Brady Music Center,
- 11:49Speaker 1: A little bit more uncomfortable than say, going out to
- 11:51Speaker 1: the soon to get eight million dollars from the city budget,
- 11:53Speaker 1: Farmer Music Center or Riverbenner. If you are out there
- 12:02Speaker 1: and you realize I don't know what percentage likelihood, like,
- 12:06Speaker 1: out of every car that drives into the City of Cincinnati,
- 12:09Speaker 1: X number will have their car broken into. But if
- 12:12Speaker 1: you know that property crime has increased seventy five percent
- 12:14Speaker 1: in the City of Cincinnati, and that property crime is
- 12:17Speaker 1: probably going to relate to your automobile, you're going to
- 12:19Speaker 1: feel like you really want to come downtown and park. Yeah,
- 12:24Speaker 1: I know, probably not so as far as city services,
- 12:32Speaker 1: trash pick up, parks, fired, emergency medical services. Congratulations on
- 12:37Speaker 1: the higher marks. We are better than other cities of
- 12:40Speaker 1: two undred fifty thousand or more. Seventy one percent are
- 12:43Speaker 1: satisfied with the quality of curb side services nationally, it's
- 12:46Speaker 1: only forty four. Sixty eight satisfied with the parks and
- 12:49Speaker 1: recreation program. It's only forty five nationally. And then finally,
- 12:52Speaker 1: seventy eight percent are satisfied with our local fire department
- 12:55Speaker 1: compared with sixty three percent nationally. So there you have it.
- 12:59Speaker 1: There are positive marks in there. But I it's if
- 13:04Speaker 1: you were asked ahead of the survey results. I think
- 13:11Speaker 1: roads and infrastructure probably would have popped foremost in my mind,
- 13:15Speaker 1: at least if I wasn't asked initially. Asked initially you
- 13:18Speaker 1: know what's the problem in downtown city of Cincinnati. Yeah,
- 13:22Speaker 1: perception can be everything. And if you want more people
- 13:24Speaker 1: to come down and spend money. Going back to the
- 13:26Speaker 1: other survey, I think you better improve things. Let's start
- 13:29Speaker 1: with the potholes and roads. That's an easy fix, isn't it.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Five nineteen fifty five car se De talk station. Stick
- 13:34Speaker 1: around lots to talk about coming up, and of course
- 13:37Speaker 1: any phone calls are quite welcome here in the fifty
- 13:39Speaker 1: five Carcy Morning Show. Be right back, here's what's happening.
- 13:48Speaker 1: How do you feel about going on downtown since said
- 13:50Speaker 1: dust record has chimed in and I was unaware until
- 13:53Speaker 1: a moment ago. Over the break, Joe used to got
- 13:55Speaker 1: down to Finley Market a couple times a week to shop.
- 13:57Speaker 1: You know it's I love Filing Market least in terms
- 14:00Speaker 1: of shopping. The stores there are great, the food is great,
- 14:03Speaker 1: and that people have always been friendly. And I just
- 14:05Speaker 1: wax poetic about the time when I worked down at
- 14:07Speaker 1: Finlay Market back in the early eighties. The world was
- 14:09Speaker 1: a different place back then, but I never felt uncomfortable
- 14:12Speaker 1: down there. That was before the gentrification came to over
- 14:15Speaker 1: the Rhine. But still he hasn't two years, Joe has
- 14:20Speaker 1: been since you've been down there two years? And he
- 14:23Speaker 1: specifically said he said, I I was tired of being
- 14:25Speaker 1: accosted and hit up for money by panhandlers. It's a
- 14:30Speaker 1: in nuisance. Get out of your car, Hey, you gonna
- 14:34Speaker 1: have some money now, and then you leave your car
- 14:37Speaker 1: and the guy you told no to. In terms of
- 14:40Speaker 1: the panhandler, now you got in the back of your
- 14:42Speaker 1: mind that guy's going to be the one that breaks
- 14:44Speaker 1: in your car. Anyhow, So question why bother and going
- 14:51Speaker 1: to those two folks outside two seventy five or even
- 14:54Speaker 1: within two seventy five, outside of the city limits. You
- 14:56Speaker 1: have options other than going to downtown Cincinnati.
- 14:59Speaker 4: Of course you do.
- 15:01Speaker 5: So.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I thought that was a rather interesting comment from the
- 15:07Speaker 1: survey or, the city satisfaction surveyor Guy, etc. Director of
- 15:13Speaker 1: Community Research Ryan Murray, quoted in The enquire talking to
- 15:16Speaker 1: Scott Wartman again gave multiple explanations for the dip in
- 15:20Speaker 1: these trends, the satisfaction dropping again. Number one priority roads,
- 15:25Speaker 1: right roads. He said, cities across the country have seen
- 15:30Speaker 1: their approval ratings plummet. Going back to the point I
- 15:32Speaker 1: made earlier, Well, yeah, yes, but not nearly as badly
- 15:35Speaker 1: when you look behind the veneer of that blanket statement,
- 15:41Speaker 1: some of the lowered satisfaction from residents in the city
- 15:44Speaker 1: and around the country can be addressed through are you ready,
- 15:47Speaker 1: according to mister Murray, better public relations? He said, quote,
- 15:54Speaker 1: how are we managing the expectations of what you should see?
- 15:59Speaker 1: And how do we tell our story of what we're doing?
- 16:01Speaker 1: So all we need to do is have better public relations?
- 16:04Speaker 1: And can I ask a question out loud? It's a
- 16:06Speaker 1: rhetorical one. I know the answer to it. Would public
- 16:09Speaker 1: relations fix the damn roads and potholes and sidewalks? No,
- 16:14Speaker 1: we need a better marketing campaign. No, how about just
- 16:16Speaker 1: fixing the damn roads. You know, Let's put a side
- 16:18Speaker 1: the eight million dollars going to the Farmer Music Center.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Let's put aside all the money going out of these
- 16:23Speaker 1: NGO programs. Let's put aside resolutions on Palestine, and let's
- 16:27Speaker 1: put aside funding additional solar panel arrays and get some
- 16:31Speaker 1: road crews out there and fix the number one issue
- 16:33Speaker 1: for the residents of the City of Cincinnati, a core
- 16:36Speaker 1: government function, infrastructure problem solved. Can argue with that, Yeah,
- 16:41Speaker 1: you know what the announcement needs to be from a
- 16:42Speaker 1: public relations standpoint. We are no longer four hundred miles
- 16:47Speaker 1: behind in paving roads. We caught up. You know what.
- 16:52Speaker 1: We looked at John F.
- 16:53Speaker 4: Kennedy.
- 16:53Speaker 1: We said, I'm gonna put a man on the moon,
- 16:55Speaker 1: and we did our own moonlunch. You got four hundred
- 16:57Speaker 1: road miles that we need to be dealt with. Let's
- 16:59Speaker 1: get on. Let's show the world that when you focus
- 17:03Speaker 1: on one thing and you put your resources behind it,
- 17:06Speaker 1: you can get it done. How difficult is that as
- 17:10Speaker 1: a concept. Then you don't need a public relations for
- 17:12Speaker 1: him to try to put a spin on things. Blah,
- 17:15Speaker 1: five twenty six, KARASEI talk station. It's two days little
- 17:20Speaker 1: on a Wednesday, five one two three, top pound five
- 17:26Speaker 1: fifty on your AT and T phones. Well, at least
- 17:28Speaker 1: I can count on Tom, Tom, thanks for calling. Always
- 17:31Speaker 1: look forward to hearing from you and taking the weight
- 17:32Speaker 1: off my shoulders and avoiding local stories for at least
- 17:34Speaker 1: a moment. Good to hear from me. Brother.
- 17:37Speaker 6: Hey, I'm here for you, buddy. Well, welcome back. I'm
- 17:41Speaker 6: you're plag you're feeling better, thank you?
- 17:42Speaker 5: So.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a strange feeling, man, It is a really
- 17:48Speaker 1: really strange feeling. I guess folks out there that have
- 17:50Speaker 1: had to deal with chemo. No, but man, I'm telling you,
- 17:53Speaker 1: I moving in stereo from the Cars. It comes to
- 17:55Speaker 1: mind every time I wake up one that I get
- 17:58Speaker 1: the treatment on Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I am unbothered at all.
- 18:01Speaker 1: I don't feel any different. And then come Sunday morning,
- 18:03Speaker 1: I wake up and as soon as my eyes are
- 18:05Speaker 1: open and I'm coming to grips with being away, it's
- 18:09Speaker 1: the song kicks in and I get up and I'm
- 18:11Speaker 1: like spinning around. I gotta lay down in wiped out
- 18:14Speaker 1: energy wise, it's just weird. Cancer sucks, by the way.
- 18:18Speaker 6: Yeah, cancer sucks, by the way. Yeah, just a side note,
- 18:21Speaker 6: Yeah that actually The Cars is my favorite band growing up.
- 18:24Speaker 6: And of course the movie Fast Times at Raspont High
- 18:26Speaker 6: getting hurt at all. So yeah, Yeah. There was a
- 18:32Speaker 6: survey almost a year and a half ago. I think
- 18:36Speaker 6: Joe has the stats on that. It's called an election,
- 18:40Speaker 6: and I'm wondering how many of these people, how many
- 18:43Speaker 6: of these people that took part in this recent survey
- 18:47Speaker 6: that you are mentioning voted for Democrats in that election.
- 18:51Speaker 6: And to those people, I say, shut up. Okay, we
- 18:55Speaker 6: don't want to hear you complaining. If you keep voting
- 18:58Speaker 6: for the same people who are making the decisions that
- 19:02Speaker 6: you're not happy about, what did you think was going
- 19:05Speaker 6: to happen?
- 19:05Speaker 5: True?
- 19:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to criticize it. I don't know
- 19:08Speaker 1: that they were voluntarily complaining. But when a surveyor comes
- 19:12Speaker 1: up to you and says, what's your feeling about the
- 19:15Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, you are it's free shot on goal.
- 19:18Speaker 1: You can let others know how you feel, whether or
- 19:20Speaker 1: not you're regularly complaining. But that's hilarious thing.
- 19:24Speaker 6: And the other thing that I'm learning this morning, So
- 19:28Speaker 6: if if, if, if I get to the point Brian
- 19:31Speaker 6: that I'm having a hard time paying my mortgage and
- 19:34Speaker 6: utiling ease and all the important stuff works. Yeah, well
- 19:39Speaker 6: what what I guess what I should do is spend
- 19:42Speaker 6: money on music and that'll solve the problem. Is that
- 19:45Speaker 6: what I'm learning here from the City of Cincinnati. Well, I,
- 19:48Speaker 6: how is that how we run our budget?
- 19:50Speaker 1: If you get a really good show, you feel pretty
- 19:52Speaker 1: It was a great show. I'm glad I got to
- 19:54Speaker 1: see your perception that was about.
- 19:56Speaker 6: This is about feeling better and seeming and perception being better,
- 20:01Speaker 6: not actually getting better.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Going back to my point about marketing. Yes, the the
- 20:05Speaker 1: surveyor says we need a better marketing strategy. No, don't
- 20:08Speaker 1: fix the roads. We don't want anything tanget better marketing.
- 20:11Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what it is. Okay, Well, you know I must,
- 20:14Speaker 6: I must have it all wrong. Sorry, my conservative value.
- 20:17Speaker 6: Tell me. And if you fix the problem and there's
- 20:20Speaker 6: not as much of a problem anymore, that'll make you
- 20:23Speaker 6: feel better.
- 20:24Speaker 5: I don't know. Maybe.
- 20:26Speaker 1: And then those who are responsible for fixing the problem,
- 20:30Speaker 1: let's say, hypothetically they actually paid attention to the number
- 20:33Speaker 1: one issue for residents downtown, fix the damn roads. If
- 20:36Speaker 1: they did it, they'd have something to campaign on. Look,
- 20:40Speaker 1: we fix the roads.
- 20:42Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes too much sense, Brian. Hey, you know
- 20:45Speaker 6: what else makes a lot of sense. People don't vote Democrat.
- 20:49Speaker 7: Have a great day, Brian.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Thank you, Tom. I appreciate that you. Thomason, the only
- 20:52Speaker 1: one can call in five hundred eight two to three,

- 23:47Speaker 1: Morgan from Heidelberg, Germany. Thank you Steve for tuning in
- 23:51Speaker 1: from out of town, and then also my physician Chimeedd
- 23:54Speaker 1: He said, welcome back, which is really cool. And appreciate
- 23:58Speaker 1: you tuning in there, James and uh in spite of
- 24:03Speaker 1: the fact that all my cylinders aren't firing, I appreciate
- 24:05Speaker 1: the kind words. Truly, truly, truly, and I do enjoy
- 24:08Speaker 1: getting into the stack of stupid, most notably when I
- 24:10Speaker 1: am not firing on all cylinders and it's the five
- 24:12Speaker 1: o'clock hour. Sw I'm hardly ever awake for the first
- 24:15Speaker 1: hour anyway. Yes, that's the truth. Get up two thirty
- 24:20Speaker 1: man who engaged in some gun play after suffering from
- 24:22Speaker 1: a severe case of what they're calling karaoke rage or
- 24:27Speaker 1: is it karoki? I just want to stick an extra
- 24:30Speaker 1: syllable in there anyway, you know where you sing to music,
- 24:33Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Anyway. He pleaded guilty to a
- 24:35Speaker 1: pair of felony charges, according to court records, in front
- 24:38Speaker 1: of Florida Judge Aaron Jablonski, thirty five, admitted aggravate assaultant
- 24:44Speaker 1: gun charges in connection with an incident happened last year
- 24:46Speaker 1: outside of sports bar in of course, Florida. Jablonski had
- 24:51Speaker 1: been free on a forty thousand dollars bond, taking it
- 24:53Speaker 1: to custody after entering his guilty Please schedule to be
- 24:55Speaker 1: sentenced March thirty first. Jablonski arrested last year after at
- 24:59Speaker 1: two thirty in the morning Sturban's outside of Overtime sports bar.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Please said it became incensed upon learning that the bar's
- 25:07Speaker 1: karaoke machine was inoperable. Oh woe of woes, upset about
- 25:17Speaker 1: the music. That's from the arrest report. That's in quotes
- 25:20Speaker 1: exit of the bar where James Emery twenty seven quote
- 25:23Speaker 1: tried to get Jablonsky to calm down close quote that's
- 25:27Speaker 1: again in the arrest abide. But instead of that, Jablonski
- 25:29Speaker 1: pulled a glock nine millimeter from his waistband and pointed
- 25:32Speaker 1: to that the man, saying, I don't fwording care close quote.
- 25:37Speaker 8: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots.
- 25:41Speaker 1: And if that wasn't an idiot enough, he then squeezed
- 25:44Speaker 1: off one round into the air.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Do what the hell?
- 25:51Speaker 1: He really wanted to sing that song? Joe, you miserable,
- 25:55Speaker 1: so and so you said the words we built this city.
- 26:00Speaker 1: If I get an earworm from that. I am never
- 26:02Speaker 1: gonna forgive you Streker, all right, I'm gonna try to
- 26:08Speaker 1: move on, to focus my attention on this and get
- 26:09Speaker 1: that thought out of my mind anyway. Not only was
- 26:14Speaker 1: it illegal for Jablotsky to possess a handgun, because his
- 26:16Speaker 1: rap sheet includes a twenty twelve felony conviction for battery
- 26:19Speaker 1: on a law enforcement officer, He's also been convicted of
- 26:23Speaker 1: dui distally conduct, theft, resisting an officer with violence, and
- 26:26Speaker 1: violating probation. We call that possessing a handgun under disability.
- 26:36Speaker 1: And insofar as your karaoke suggestion, there's Streker that says
- 26:39Speaker 1: right here and I love the smoking gun reporting. Jablosky's
- 26:43Speaker 1: preferred song remains a mystery, one that has not been
- 26:46Speaker 1: addressed in months of court filings. Don't play it, don't
- 26:53Speaker 1: play it, Joe by forty five and fifty five KR
- 27:01Speaker 1: CD Talk station, Get your car to Ford Keep Talk
- 27:03Speaker 1: station five fifty I fifty five KR CD Talk station.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Oh thank you, submar a submarine or cribbage Mike for
- 27:11Speaker 1: another earworm suggestion on correct KARAOKEI Joe, he suggested the
- 27:17Speaker 1: wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald another earworm song. Oh Mike,
- 27:22Speaker 1: you may have just done it to Joe Stracker. Let's
- 27:23Speaker 1: score to the phone. Who a Jay's gut? Jay, thanks
- 27:25Speaker 1: for calling. Happy Wednesday to you.
- 27:27Speaker 9: Hey, Happy Wednesday, Brian, and welcome back. Then you sound
- 27:30Speaker 9: great this morning, and uh, I've been praying for you.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Thank you. That means a lot, but it is, man,
- 27:36Speaker 1: it really does for those I feel like I am
- 27:40Speaker 1: not worthy of any individual's prayer, so to hear that,
- 27:43Speaker 1: it just warms my heart to know. Enjay and I.
- 27:45Speaker 9: Truly man, You're you're You're You're worthy, You're absolutely worthy,
- 27:49Speaker 9: and we're we're we're pulling for you. But I just
- 27:53Speaker 9: wanted to share with a with you and a listening
- 27:55Speaker 9: audience recent experience I had. I called Miss Tesca, who's
- 28:00Speaker 9: our representative up here in District fifty five, left a
- 28:06Speaker 9: message with her with her admin about property tax and
- 28:10Speaker 9: the frustration I'm feeling about it, and wanted to see
- 28:13Speaker 9: if she'd give me a call. Well, she did and
- 28:15Speaker 9: I talked to her yesterday, so kudos to her for
- 28:17Speaker 9: calling me back. I recommended that she call reach out
- 28:21Speaker 9: to Joe Strecker and get on the program. I don't
- 28:23Speaker 9: know if she'll do that or not, but I was
- 28:26Speaker 9: disappointed to find out that, as conservative as she is
- 28:30Speaker 9: and as conservative as she campaigned, she said she's neutral
- 28:34Speaker 9: on this property tax, that it was complex, it was difficult,
- 28:41Speaker 9: and I disagreed and told her it's really not its
- 28:45Speaker 9: basic mass, and suggested the following Republican talking points that
- 28:51Speaker 9: if she were to get together with her Republican colleagues,
- 28:55Speaker 9: it's really quite simple when you break it down this way.
- 28:58Speaker 9: Medicaid spend for this annual for the state of Ohio,
- 29:03Speaker 9: and the budget is forty seven billion dollars. The last
- 29:06Speaker 9: time we saw what Ohio's improper payment rate i e.
- 29:11Speaker 9: Fraud was forty three point three percent, which is twenty
- 29:14Speaker 9: billion dollars Medicaid fraud per year.
- 29:18Speaker 1: That's a that's Ohio share of that, I guess because
- 29:20Speaker 1: a lot of that is federal dollars. And while I
- 29:23Speaker 1: cannot abide any taxpayer dollars when you're talking federal dollars
- 29:27Speaker 1: versus the revenue that the state takes in, that may
- 29:29Speaker 1: not be an item you could calculate into the savings
- 29:33Speaker 1: equation to cover the eradication of the property tax. I'm
- 29:36Speaker 1: just speaking out loud, not necessarily from an inform standpoint.
- 29:40Speaker 9: Well, no, its good question. If you go on to
- 29:42Speaker 9: and I learned all this from your program, brother.
- 29:44Speaker 1: So so if you.
- 29:46Speaker 9: Go onto Ohio checkbook dot gov, Josh Mendel, you talked
- 29:49Speaker 9: about that years ago.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I like it.
- 29:51Speaker 9: You will see the Ohio budget and it'll say forty
- 29:55Speaker 9: it'll say it'll say forty seven billion dollars this year,
- 30:00Speaker 9: forty billion just a few short years ago. It's growing.
- 30:03Speaker 9: It grew thirty five percent over the past five years
- 30:06Speaker 9: as our population has been flat or in decline. So
- 30:11Speaker 9: that is the Ohio spend. That is the line item
- 30:13Speaker 9: in the budget is forty seven billion dollars. Forty three
- 30:18Speaker 9: point three percent of that is twenty billion. So that's
- 30:20Speaker 9: the amount of fraud our property tax. The next question
- 30:25Speaker 9: is what is the Ohio What is the total revenue
- 30:27Speaker 9: coming off of property tax? Twenty four billion? The twenty
- 30:32Speaker 9: billion of the twenty four billion hole. So let's say
- 30:36Speaker 9: there's a financial gap. If we just abolish property tax,
- 30:40Speaker 9: twenty four billion goes away, twenty billion goes back in
- 30:43Speaker 9: that hole if we go after fraud. Now, she said
- 30:47Speaker 9: that she's neutral because that's complex, it's hard. I said,
- 30:50Speaker 9: it's not complex, it is not difficult. And when Republicans
- 30:54Speaker 9: keep saying this, they are assured that this thing is
- 30:56Speaker 9: not going to get onto ballot or it's going to
- 30:58Speaker 9: get voted down. Is complex, and what is hard is
- 31:02Speaker 9: if you're a politician and you're trying to make easy
- 31:04Speaker 9: mask go away. If this was corporate America, and once
- 31:07Speaker 9: upon a time I worked for ge under Jack Welsh,
- 31:12Speaker 9: Jack Welsh would say, there's the money, go get it,
- 31:16Speaker 9: Go get you owe me this money, Go get the
- 31:19Speaker 9: twenty billion out of fraud. I'm going to take this
- 31:21Speaker 9: property tax. I'm going to abolish it because it would
- 31:24Speaker 9: be a line I don't want to budget somewhere. And
- 31:26Speaker 9: if you guys can't do it, then I'll go find
- 31:28Speaker 9: another team that can't.
- 31:30Speaker 4: I just wrote.
- 31:30Speaker 1: Meanwhile, while we debate whether or not it's going to
- 31:32Speaker 1: be difficult or not to eradicate property taxes, the fraud
- 31:35Speaker 1: apparently continues right.
- 31:38Speaker 9: Well, exactly on the other thing. I told her, I said,
- 31:42Speaker 9: how is it it just snap of the fingers. Things
- 31:44Speaker 9: that should be difficult and complicated, like six hundred million
- 31:47Speaker 9: dollars going to a private business called the Cleveland Browns.
- 31:51Speaker 9: I said, you guys, get that done in the snap
- 31:52Speaker 9: of the fingers. I said, now I have a private.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Business giving the six hundred billion tax fair dollars going
- 32:00Speaker 1: to the Cleveland Browns. Keep bringing that one up.
- 32:03Speaker 10: He said.
- 32:04Speaker 9: She was one of four Republicans that voted against it,
- 32:08Speaker 9: So kudos to her for that. And my point is,
- 32:11Speaker 9: when you're taking taxpayer money out of unclaimed funds and
- 32:14Speaker 9: giving that to a private business, that should be hard,
- 32:17Speaker 9: that should be complicated. That was very easy, this one
- 32:21Speaker 9: where it's fraud. And I thought Marcel Sturbach had a
- 32:24Speaker 9: fantastic idea. How about we put together a task force
- 32:28Speaker 9: like we take Attorney Dave Yost Attorney General.
- 32:33Speaker 11: You have people, put them on it.
- 32:35Speaker 9: The favor might want to get off his ass maybe
- 32:38Speaker 9: sometime and go do an audit.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Your guy listen in the interesting time because Joe Strekker's
- 32:43Speaker 1: screaming him about the clock. There are a lot of
- 32:45Speaker 1: things that we could do. The problem has been identified,
- 32:47Speaker 1: and the solution seems to be pretty damn easy. Just
- 32:51Speaker 1: get on it. Property taxing discussion, get on the fraud period.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Even we were a wash in cash, get on the fraud.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Appreciate Jay, thank you, very much. Five fifty six, fifty
- 33:01Speaker 1: five kr C the talk station plenty coming up with
- 33:03Speaker 1: a six o'clock hour. Your calls are welcome. I'll be

- 33:38Speaker 2: Take your design.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Good going there. You are Motorheads guitarist sixty four years old,
- 33:46Speaker 1: passed away day before yesterday. It's a little honorrary there,
- 33:49Speaker 1: Joe Strecker, a huge Motorhead fan. We thank you for
- 33:52Speaker 1: the post putting the post the Friday post up of
- 33:54Speaker 1: lem Me on my website. Brian Thomas here, Glad to
- 33:57Speaker 1: be back firing on most of my cylinders after the chemotherapy.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Thank you to everyone who's been so kind uh the
- 34:03Speaker 1: prayers and the well wishes. It's not something I would
- 34:06Speaker 1: wish on anybody, even my most worst enemy. I was
- 34:11Speaker 1: thinking about the woman in the Trump administration who announced
- 34:14Speaker 1: that she is a cancer to be met with a
- 34:16Speaker 1: local Democrat politician saying karma something to that effect. I
- 34:22Speaker 1: appreciate former Anderson Township trustee Drew Pappus's comments in response
- 34:26Speaker 1: to that who among us would wish cancer on another
- 34:31Speaker 1: human being? If you can look yourself in the mirror
- 34:34Speaker 1: and say I would, then I would think you are
- 34:36Speaker 1: the one that has a major problem on your hands.
- 34:39Speaker 4: Anyway.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Five point three seven four nine fifty, five hundred, eight
- 34:41Speaker 1: hundred eight two three pound five point fifty on AT
- 34:44Speaker 1: and T phones. Uh, moving away from the survey of
- 34:47Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati's regisents, who well quite clearly said
- 34:50Speaker 1: and overwhelmingly fixed the damn potholes. Don't give me a
- 34:54Speaker 1: marketing campaign, just fix the damn roads. It seems like
- 34:56Speaker 1: a simple solution to a problem that's existed prior to
- 34:59Speaker 1: even this administration. Yeah, we go back a lot of years.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Core functions, core services. This administration and prior have let
- 35:06Speaker 1: the residents down along those lines. Anyway, you can check
- 35:09Speaker 1: that out. We talked about the last hour five point
- 35:11Speaker 1: three seven four nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and
- 35:13Speaker 1: eight to two to three talk or pound five fifty
- 35:16Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. Check it out. William Galson
- 35:18Speaker 1: over from the Wall Street Journal, talking about the Iranian situation.
- 35:21Speaker 1: The closing of the Straight of hornor moves, and the
- 35:23Speaker 1: complications and the ripple effects from that, which I think
- 35:27Speaker 1: were anticipated to some degree by the Trump administration before
- 35:30Speaker 1: launching the rockets into Iran. And it's a practical analysis.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Now you can draw different conclusions, but I think he
- 35:40Speaker 1: sums up quite nicely where we are and what our
- 35:43Speaker 1: options are. Most notably, since NATO allies we thought they
- 35:47Speaker 1: were allies, have turned their back on Donald Trump's request
- 35:50Speaker 1: for some mind sweeping boats. I get the quote from
- 35:52Speaker 1: that in a minute, and it does tie in quite nicely.
- 35:55Speaker 1: But as he points out, military victories are not necessarily
- 35:59Speaker 1: they don't necessarily achieve political ends. The political ends we're
- 36:03Speaker 1: looking for, of course, is regime change. So we don't
- 36:05Speaker 1: leave Iran in a situation where it can re arm
- 36:08Speaker 1: over time or whatever, or have any possibility of closing
- 36:12Speaker 1: the Straight of Horror moves. They could do it in
- 36:14Speaker 1: a moment's time. Deren lies the challenge.
- 36:19Speaker 5: Now.
- 36:19Speaker 1: In spite of all the military victories we could point
- 36:21Speaker 1: to over there, the wiping out of the multiple missile bases,
- 36:25Speaker 1: the destroying of their navy, on and on and on,
- 36:28Speaker 1: it's been one success after another. Despite these achievements. He
- 36:33Speaker 1: points out the Trump administration's prospects for achieving its political
- 36:37Speaker 1: objectives remain remote at the onset of the war Trump
- 36:41Speaker 1: and the set of the running people. When we are
- 36:43Speaker 1: finished takeover your government, it will be yours to take perhaps,
- 36:47Speaker 1: but it's now clear that won't happen anytime soon, a
- 36:49Speaker 1: point that both the President and Israel's Prime minister have conceded.
- 36:52Speaker 1: You know, organizing people on the streets and have no
- 36:55Speaker 1: way of effectively communicating with each other, and are not armed.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Consider your right to keeping bear arms in this country
- 37:00Speaker 1: that they do not enjoy. You got a real problem
- 37:03Speaker 1: when these evil forces, still loyal to whatever of the
- 37:07Speaker 1: administration remains, are out of the streets ready to gun
- 37:10Speaker 1: you down. You're out gunned. Normal or on gred to
- 37:15Speaker 1: mister Trump's demand for unconditional surrender, a goal that US
- 37:19Speaker 1: achieved at the end of World War Two only by
- 37:20Speaker 1: conquering Germany and dropping two atom bombs on Japan. Normal
- 37:26Speaker 1: or on grid to swrender at stocks of a rich
- 37:28Speaker 1: uranium which are probably very deep underground of beneath rubble
- 37:31Speaker 1: from the US Israeli attack on the nuclear facilities last June.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Asked about the rich uranium. At the Congressional briefing this month,
- 37:38Speaker 1: Secretary State MARKO. Ruby reportedly said, quote, people are going
- 37:41Speaker 1: to have to go and get it close. Quote. And
- 37:45Speaker 1: I've read lots of articles on this that, apparently, as
- 37:47Speaker 1: a Golson write, such a task would have uncertain prospects
- 37:50Speaker 1: that would likely require the biggest and most technically challenging
- 37:53Speaker 1: special forces operation in history, i e. Boots on the
- 37:57Speaker 1: ground and lots of them. I mean, I'm not quite
- 38:02Speaker 1: sure what your perception of digging out enriched uranium from
- 38:07Speaker 1: millions of tons of soil beneath the ground. I suspect
- 38:10Speaker 1: you're gonna lead at least need a couple of baccos
- 38:14Speaker 1: and a lot of people with shovels boiling it down
- 38:16Speaker 1: to its barest terms. Iran's decision to close the Straight
- 38:20Speaker 1: of hor Golson writes, a step that every US military
- 38:23Speaker 1: official knew was inevitable, has turned the tables on the
- 38:26Speaker 1: Trump administration, which seems to have been caught unprepared. Our
- 38:28Speaker 1: options for reopening the strait without Iran's agreement aren't attractive.
- 38:34Speaker 1: The US Navy is weeks away at best from being
- 38:36Speaker 1: able to escort oil tankers through the strait. A mission
- 38:38Speaker 1: experts estimate would require, are you ready for this? Two
- 38:43Speaker 1: ships per tanker? Joe?
- 38:46Speaker 5: Do some math?
- 38:47Speaker 1: How many tankers are floating around there, waiting around to
- 38:49Speaker 1: get through the straight of horn moves? Isn't it thousands? Yeah?
- 38:54Speaker 1: I don't think our navy is big enough for that.
- 38:57Speaker 1: Just saying out loud what my perception is. Naval officers
- 39:01Speaker 1: worry that Iranian drones and missiles could turn the confined
- 39:03Speaker 1: area into a killbox for American sailors. Yep, Mike, you're
- 39:07Speaker 1: out there in your submarine. He refers to ships as targets.
- 39:12Speaker 1: This dismal prospect invites a further question, what would it
- 39:16Speaker 1: take to suppress Iranians fire directed at our navy and
- 39:20Speaker 1: these ships escorting it? And I note this morning I
- 39:22Speaker 1: saw reports that the five thousand pound bunker buster bombs
- 39:26Speaker 1: have been unleashed on Iran over within the last twenty
- 39:29Speaker 1: four hours. All right, So what would it take to
- 39:35Speaker 1: protect our ships that are escorting and the ships that
- 39:37Speaker 1: we are escorting? Most likely answer is using US ground
- 39:40Speaker 1: forces to seize IRGC strongholds along Iran's southern coast. Even
- 39:45Speaker 1: if such an assault were to succeed, the US beachheads
- 39:48Speaker 1: would have to be protected against counterattacks from the IRGC,
- 39:51Speaker 1: whose estimated strength is one hundred and ninety thousand active personnel.
- 39:56Speaker 1: The logic of escalation could lead the Trump administration down
- 39:59Speaker 1: a road it doesn't want to travel. Perhaps one thing
- 40:02Speaker 1: is clear, Goalston right. If the US tries to reopen
- 40:05Speaker 1: the Strait, it can't expect much help from its allies.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I'll leave you to decide whether they are still allies.
- 40:13Speaker 1: When the exception of France, Trump's request to join with
- 40:16Speaker 1: US naval convoys has met a chile reception. Germany's defense
- 40:20Speaker 1: minister said bluntly that quote, this is not our war.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Close quote. Senior Japanese policy advisers said Japan's threshold for
- 40:28Speaker 1: joining such an operation is quote extremely high. Close quote.
- 40:31Speaker 1: British Prime Minister kir Starmer has refused to send warships
- 40:34Speaker 1: to the Strait. Mister Trump had consulted allies before starting
- 40:39Speaker 1: this war, he might be getting better reception. That's one
- 40:41Speaker 1: of the criticisms Trump's been getting from quite a few commentators, Well,
- 40:45Speaker 1: why didn't you consult with allies? Now I can quickly
- 40:47Speaker 1: respond that maybe by consulting with allies you would have
- 40:50Speaker 1: given Iran a heads up, and I suppose that would
- 40:53Speaker 1: have prevented them from meeting in one location with all
- 40:56Speaker 1: of their major key players, those that run the government
- 41:01Speaker 1: who are no longer with us, but you know, talking
- 41:05Speaker 1: with them and amongst them. I suppose carries its risks
- 41:07Speaker 1: as well, but that wasn't done in Some were criticizing
- 41:10Speaker 1: Trump for that, lundsay Graham. Some others have urged the
- 41:16Speaker 1: administration to seize control of Carg Island. Now we blew
- 41:19Speaker 1: up all the military installations on car Carg Island, which
- 41:22Speaker 1: is like the central moneymaker for the Iranians. That's where
- 41:27Speaker 1: they shipped their oil from. I guess like something like
- 41:29Speaker 1: eighty or ninety percent of the revenue Iran and enjoys
- 41:31Speaker 1: comes as a consequence of Carg Island and its oil shipping.
- 41:36Speaker 1: That seems like a logical target, but enter into the equation.
- 41:40Speaker 1: The removal of Carg Island from the world's oil supplies
- 41:42Speaker 1: is going to have a profound ripple effect around the
- 41:45Speaker 1: entire globe. To our allies in NATO countries, that means
- 41:50Speaker 1: them and everybody else in the world. It's not twenty
- 41:53Speaker 1: percent of all the oil and gas have flows in
- 41:56Speaker 1: the world comes through that tiny, narrow passage. How we
- 42:01Speaker 1: ended up in this position is beyond me. I mean,
- 42:04Speaker 1: think about it. Iran has been under this crazy theocracy,
- 42:08Speaker 1: a murderous terrorist sponsoring theocracy for the last forty seven years.
- 42:13Speaker 1: You remember when the hostages were taken in nineteen seventy nine,
- 42:16Speaker 1: Carter was president. Yeah, they've been wreaking havocs since then.
- 42:19Speaker 1: That havoc includes the fact that the strait of Horror
- 42:22Speaker 1: moves is literally right there off their southern shore. They
- 42:25Speaker 1: have always had the opportunity and ability to do this.
- 42:28Speaker 1: So maybe had we invested in or we the Arab
- 42:32Speaker 1: oil nations over the years invested in different pipelines or
- 42:35Speaker 1: different infrastructure so they didn't have to go through the
- 42:37Speaker 1: strain of horror moonves, we wouldn't find ourselves here. Sorry,
- 42:40Speaker 1: on a stream of consciousness this morning anyway. Taking over
- 42:44Speaker 1: a carg Island risky game of chicken, Galston says, if
- 42:48Speaker 1: we cut off Iran's exports, we would bring its regime
- 42:51Speaker 1: to its knees or would we rather bring the regime
- 42:54Speaker 1: to its knees? Before soaring oil prices severely damaged the
- 42:58Speaker 1: global economy and forces to relent or maybe mister Golson
- 43:02Speaker 1: should have considered this. If we took over Carg Island
- 43:09Speaker 1: and stop Iran's oil from entering the global market and
- 43:15Speaker 1: dealt with the temporary increase in global oil prices, might
- 43:21Speaker 1: the NATO allies, who will be struggling far more than
- 43:24Speaker 1: any US citizen with the increased price of oil, might
- 43:28Speaker 1: they step up to the plate and offer some of
- 43:30Speaker 1: their mind sweeping resources to open the straight of horror
- 43:33Speaker 1: moves and ease the pressure from on the rest of
- 43:35Speaker 1: the world. If we've already taken over Carg Island, that
- 43:38Speaker 1: means we control the oil output there. It will continue
- 43:40Speaker 1: to flow, It'll just be under our control. Just say
- 43:44Speaker 1: an out loud, but insofar as our NATO allies not
- 43:52Speaker 1: wanting to get involved, some pretty harsh words coming from
- 43:56Speaker 1: Donald Trump, Not that you wouldn't expect that, but when
- 43:59Speaker 1: I first read them, I thought, Wow, I'm thinking Donald
- 44:03Speaker 1: Trump is trying to project fear in the hearts and
- 44:06Speaker 1: minds of NATO allies because, as we all know, Donald
- 44:09Speaker 1: Trump has a very very long memory, and the tariffs,
- 44:14Speaker 1: of course, were something that the NATO allies have felt
- 44:18Speaker 1: and hurt them, so he could get them into a
- 44:20Speaker 1: negotiating position at the negotiation table, so they know he
- 44:24Speaker 1: is willing to go after them. He is the one
- 44:26Speaker 1: that forced them to pony up five percent of the
- 44:28Speaker 1: GDP to build a military that they don't have. And
- 44:33Speaker 1: that's the kind of fallback position you gotta go to.
- 44:35Speaker 1: Wait a second, we spend hundreds of billions of dollars
- 44:40Speaker 1: a year being the police force for the NATO countries,
- 44:43Speaker 1: and what love do we get in return? Not much?

- 45:02Speaker 1: the phones. Thanks for the earworm suggestion this morning, my
- 45:05Speaker 1: submarine or friend cribbage Mike. Good to hear from you, brother.
- 45:08Speaker 11: Well, I didn't live on.
- 45:14Speaker 1: What the hell's the peg? They called get you goomy anyway.
- 45:17Speaker 11: Go ahead, welcome back, sir, and continued prayers for you
- 45:23Speaker 11: and everyone else on their cancer journey.
- 45:25Speaker 10: Sir.
- 45:25Speaker 1: Okay, since you brought that up, and I AC sure
- 45:27Speaker 1: as hell appreciate that. Mike from the bottom of my heart,
- 45:29Speaker 1: and I said earlier I wouldn't wish cancer on my
- 45:31Speaker 1: worst enemy. Going back to the comment that that Democrat
- 45:33Speaker 1: made about the Trump administration official, who exactly you know what? Okay,
- 45:37Speaker 1: and thanks to Eric, there's an exception to every rule.
- 45:40Speaker 1: He referred to the winners of My Biggest Douche of
- 45:42Speaker 1: the Universe award and typically involving child molesters, which he said,
- 45:46Speaker 1: I would wish testicular and or prostate cancer on them. Okay, fine,
- 45:51Speaker 1: maybe an exception, go ahead.
- 45:53Speaker 11: I had the pleasure of mister Pappus's company yesterday and
- 45:56Speaker 11: that came up, so you know, well, well first as
- 45:59Speaker 11: he put it, But going back on last hour's comment
- 46:03Speaker 11: about downtown, we just celebrated our thirteenth year at hard
- 46:08Speaker 11: Rock Casino, and of course it's had two other names
- 46:10Speaker 11: but the same property. And I don't want anybody to
- 46:13Speaker 11: feel sorry for us. We're clearly still in the black.
- 46:15Speaker 11: But over these thirteen years, I have definitely seen the decrease,
- 46:19Speaker 11: and it's public knowledge if you want to go and
- 46:21Speaker 11: Google and look at the numbers within the State Ohio's websites.
- 46:25Speaker 11: But outside of major events, you know where we always
- 46:28Speaker 11: you know it is still packed in there obviously next
- 46:31Speaker 11: Thursday with Red's opening day, any Bengal game, taste of Cincinnati,
- 46:36Speaker 11: et cetera. And there are other factors in play too,
- 46:39Speaker 11: because of the other casinos that have opened up out
- 46:42Speaker 11: in the suburban area, the onset of sportsbook, betting and
- 46:45Speaker 11: stuff like that. But clearly, and we have the ability
- 46:50Speaker 11: to offer a lot that mom and pops or restaurants
- 46:53Speaker 11: or stores in OTR can't offer, you know, state of
- 46:56Speaker 11: the art security on site. Hamilton County Deputies literally thousands
- 47:01Speaker 11: of cameras that my department to make sure that our
- 47:05Speaker 11: patrons are safe. But clearly, you know, you look down
- 47:09Speaker 11: probably like last night, it's nothing like it used to be.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Well, and you know, I'm glad you brought up sports
- 47:14Speaker 1: book because that's the first thing that came to mind.
- 47:16Speaker 1: If there's a downward trend in people showing up at
- 47:19Speaker 1: the casino, I mean, certainly there's less disposable income out
- 47:23Speaker 1: there and people are struggling more, maybe perhaps because of inflation.
- 47:25Speaker 1: And we could come up with a number of sort
- 47:27Speaker 1: of tangential potential things, but I'm gonna think if you
- 47:30Speaker 1: want to gamble and you don't have to go any
- 47:32Speaker 1: further than the smart device that's in your hand already,
- 47:34Speaker 1: then that would maybe answer why there's fewer people going
- 47:37Speaker 1: to the casino to spend money on gambling.
- 47:39Speaker 11: Well, exactly, the greater majority. I've seen numbers between seventy
- 47:43Speaker 11: five and eighty five percent of the regular sportsbook people.
- 47:47Speaker 11: It's on the phone, you know, people that come us
- 47:49Speaker 11: for brick and mortar. I mean, there are reasons that
- 47:53Speaker 11: it has done. But yet even from day one, the
- 47:55Speaker 11: greater majority of the people you know, on top of
- 47:58Speaker 11: not having to go downtown, the elect your betting receipts,
- 48:01Speaker 11: it's it's done online, in the phone. But clearly a
- 48:04Speaker 11: perfect example this year, this is the first year we
- 48:07Speaker 11: will not be having our outdoor concert series. Oh really again,
- 48:10Speaker 11: I'm sure some being counters down in our corporate offices
- 48:14Speaker 11: in Florida looked at it. You know, risk versus reward.
- 48:17Speaker 11: You know what kind of return our investment are we
- 48:18Speaker 11: getting with these type of acts. Plus the plethora of
- 48:23Speaker 11: summer outdoor music venues, and the fact that you know
- 48:26Speaker 11: now that the city's gonna dump eight million dollars out
- 48:29Speaker 11: there at the Farmer. The third that I drive pass
- 48:32Speaker 11: every day on my way to and from work. It's
- 48:34Speaker 11: it's just amazing.
- 48:36Speaker 1: I saw that comment coming about ten miles away. Mike. Yeah,
- 48:40Speaker 1: you know we need we need another music venue. Anybody
- 48:43Speaker 1: checked the budget shortfall of the going on downtown since
- 48:45Speaker 1: that that's right, we're thirty million in the hole.
- 48:47Speaker 4: Hey, eight million.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Dollars to go out there to that Farmer Music Center
- 48:51Speaker 1: so we can get finished on time or something.
- 48:54Speaker 11: I guess that's an existing infrastructure. Maybe some of that
- 48:57Speaker 11: railroad money instead of the operating budget.
- 48:59Speaker 1: I don't no, I don't give any ideas.
- 49:01Speaker 5: Mike.
- 49:02Speaker 1: Good to hear from your brother. As always, a look
- 49:04Speaker 1: for sing you at listener launch at the Liberty Collective

- 50:39Speaker 1: for passing along the joyous news. A celebration for Lano Bell,
- 50:44Speaker 1: you might say, who Lona Bell probably served his country

- 51:08Speaker 1: will add this to the list on my blog page
- 51:10Speaker 1: fifty five Carecy dot com. Anyway, Lano, if you're out
- 51:13Speaker 1: there listening, God bless you, sir, Thank you for your
- 51:16Speaker 1: service for our country, and an early, happy one hundredth
- 51:19Speaker 1: birthday to you. Amazing, amazing thing. Boy, we have so
- 51:22Speaker 1: few World War II veterans left to thank for their service.
- 51:25Speaker 1: Over to point that was made earlier with regard to
- 51:28Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnat's budget, Boy, what do we need?
- 51:29Speaker 1: We need another music venue found? The City of Cincinnati's
- 51:32Speaker 1: ponying up money. Apparently they are a wash in cash.
- 51:36Speaker 1: Council considering considering the operative word here, but I think
- 51:39Speaker 1: they will giving eight million dollars to help build the
- 51:42Speaker 1: Farmer Music Center, the Riverbend replacement set to open next year.
- 51:45Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty million dollar project right off Kellogg
- 51:48Speaker 1: Avenue is already under construction. Is it existing infrastructure see here.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Music and Entertainment Management, in subsidiary of the Orchestra, is
- 51:58Speaker 1: developing the project and will manage it in the long term.
- 52:02Speaker 1: Projected to generate one here you ready. Here's the projections.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Projected to generate one hundred million in annual economic impact,
- 52:11Speaker 1: which they claim translates into fifteen million in additional tax
- 52:14Speaker 1: revenue for Cincinnati over the first ten years, which means,
- 52:17Speaker 1: if they're right and they're accurate, that eight million dollars
- 52:20Speaker 1: will net them a total of fifteen and ten years,
- 52:23Speaker 1: basically recovering half in the first five years, and then
- 52:26Speaker 1: presumably continue being the gift that gives on giving. I'll
- 52:29Speaker 1: let you decide whether that's accurate or not. Councils set
- 52:33Speaker 1: to review the vote and resolution today. CSO President CEO
- 52:37Speaker 1: Robert McGrath, in a statement, said the city's support is
- 52:40Speaker 1: an important part of getting the project built on time.
- 52:46Speaker 1: I guess it'll be built regardless of whether the city
- 52:48Speaker 1: pony's up eight million dollars. And let's see here, Councilman
- 52:56Speaker 1: alb I'm someone who thinks and cares a lot about
- 52:59Speaker 1: what makes people want to live in the city of Cincinnati.
- 53:02Speaker 1: Interesting just Dreker circled that quote. According to the survey
- 53:06Speaker 1: we talked about in the first hour, which is the
- 53:08Speaker 1: residence of the City of Cincinnati, all they want are
- 53:11Speaker 1: roads to be fixed. Number one. Satisfaction survey has dropped
- 53:15Speaker 1: precipitously over the past couple of years. People in the
- 53:18Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati are not happy about the living conditions there.
- 53:21Speaker 1: And oh lo and behold, existing infrastructure is number one.
- 53:24Speaker 1: Fix the damn roads and the potholes. Six thirty five
- 53:29Speaker 1: fifty five KRC the talk station. Oh yeah, it's right
- 53:33Speaker 1: and free Palace nine. Joe wants to make sure they

- 55:33Speaker 1: care Seed dot com. I was asleep. I'll be honest
- 55:35Speaker 1: with you. I'm reeling from those chemo treatments. But back
- 55:39Speaker 1: with most cylinders firing this morning. Thanks to all the
- 55:41Speaker 1: well wishes out there. What's going on? Mes well? I
- 55:46Speaker 1: guess focus on a couple of local stories and why not.
- 55:51Speaker 1: How do you feel about the change taking the taking
- 55:53Speaker 1: place on on Friday that Senate Bill fifty six was
- 55:57Speaker 1: approved signed it a law by Governor Mike DeWine. This
- 56:00Speaker 1: relates to the prior legalization of marijuana in the state
- 56:03Speaker 1: of Ohio, and marijuana advocates are a little miffed about it,
- 56:05Speaker 1: saying that these representatives aren't serving the will of the
- 56:08Speaker 1: people who obviously voted in favor of legalization. But did
- 56:12Speaker 1: they know what they were getting into? A question that
- 56:14Speaker 1: I have to ask out loud. It's one thing to
- 56:16Speaker 1: say you want it legalized and then dealing with the
- 56:18Speaker 1: consequences in the aftermath, like oh, smoking outdoors.
- 56:25Speaker 5: Even know?
- 56:25Speaker 1: If there's one complaint that I hear from people who
- 56:28Speaker 1: have a problem with with weed smokers is that they
- 56:30Speaker 1: smoke pretty much literally everywhere. You cannot escape of weed
- 56:35Speaker 1: wafting around, and it isn't a pleasant smell. At least
- 56:37Speaker 1: that's a subjective thing I understand. But you know, if
- 56:40Speaker 1: you put me next to a cigar smoker or a
- 56:42Speaker 1: weed smoker, I'm hard pressed to figure out which one
- 56:44Speaker 1: smells more obnoxious. And I know there's a lot of
- 56:47Speaker 1: cigar smokers out there, and I will occasionally have one.
- 56:50Speaker 1: I'm like a two to three cigar person a year.
- 56:52Speaker 1: It's a special occasion kind of thing. But whatever, But man,
- 56:56Speaker 1: it is obnoxious and apparently smoking outdoors. This new law
- 57:01Speaker 1: bans that. Beginning on Friday, Ohio bans the sale of
- 57:06Speaker 1: intoxicating hemp products outside of licensed marijuana dispensaries. Ohioans are
- 57:11Speaker 1: only allowed to possess and used marijuana legally grown or
- 57:15Speaker 1: purchased in Ohio and not what I find rather comical
- 57:17Speaker 1: because there's people in northern Ohio that happily go across
- 57:20Speaker 1: the border into Michigan, buy the weed there and come
- 57:23Speaker 1: and bring it back here because apparently it's cheaper there.
- 57:27Speaker 1: Now he is putting in a different package that doesn't
- 57:29Speaker 1: say it was made in Michigan. I don't know how
- 57:32Speaker 1: you enforce the only Ohio weed, but that's a complicating
- 57:35Speaker 1: factor that I don't have to worry about. But as
- 57:38Speaker 1: so far as the THC infused beverages, those need to
- 57:44Speaker 1: be purchased by tomorrow. And it was comical because booja
- 57:50Speaker 1: boo editorial common feren Jes Trecker. And it's funny because
- 57:55Speaker 1: in my little downtown Love and there's a liquor store
- 57:57Speaker 1: there called Cappies, and apparently they have more than one location.
- 57:59Speaker 1: Guess what we on the news last night. Yeah, the
- 58:01Speaker 1: woman from Kapi's other location was talking about, Yeah, we
- 58:04Speaker 1: got all this stuff in stock and we need to
- 58:06Speaker 1: get rid of it. So if you want to come
- 58:07Speaker 1: into Cabbies and buy, you better do so before Friday.
- 58:10Speaker 1: And I think they're even running a sale so they
- 58:12Speaker 1: can deplete the stocks of THHC beverages. Mike Dwine for
- 58:17Speaker 1: intoxicating hemp. This product has no restrictions on where it
- 58:20Speaker 1: can be sold or who can buy it. Intoxicating hemp
- 58:22Speaker 1: has no required regulatory testing at all, sold in packaging
- 58:24Speaker 1: enticing children, many times mimicking the packages of common candies,
- 58:28Speaker 1: and it does deal with the gummy situation as well,
- 58:31Speaker 1: at least to a certain degree. Sale hemp products beverages, gummies,
- 58:35Speaker 1: candies with more than point four milligrams per container is
- 58:38Speaker 1: now prohibited at least as a Friday under SB fifty six.
- 58:43Speaker 1: He also vt to the provision that would have allowed
- 58:45Speaker 1: bars and breweries to continue sales temporarily. I know Dwine's
- 58:48Speaker 1: point is, well, most people don't know how these things
- 58:51Speaker 1: will impact them. If you go to a bar and
- 58:53Speaker 1: order a THHC beverage, you're going to be duped into thinking,
- 58:55Speaker 1: I guess for the uninformed and uninitiated, that that THCHC
- 58:59Speaker 1: beverage is going to hit you exactly like alcohol. Well
- 59:01Speaker 1: that's not the case. So and it's funny here. How
- 59:06Speaker 1: about this can use a stack as stupid story to
- 59:10Speaker 1: draw a parallel about that caveat emptor If you have
- 59:12Speaker 1: no experience with the THC beverage, you might want to
- 59:15Speaker 1: try one at home before you go out into the
- 59:16Speaker 1: world drinking them, even though they're not going to be
- 59:18Speaker 1: available after Friday unless you get him in a marijuana dispensary,
- 59:21Speaker 1: where I suspect you still will be. Meaning people in
- 59:24Speaker 1: the general public who get the THHC beverages from the
- 59:26Speaker 1: dispensary where it's legally sold are still going to suffer
- 59:28Speaker 1: the same challenges. If you don't know what it's going
- 59:30Speaker 1: to do to you, you might listen to Governor of
- 59:32Speaker 1: Wine find out ahead of time. I love this story,
- 59:35Speaker 1: and again I didn't get to A German tourist sued
- 59:40Speaker 1: Los Tacos number one. He's from Germany to Takorea that
- 59:46Speaker 1: green susa that he ate at the Tacarea was so
- 59:49Speaker 1: spicy he had caused his mouth and tongue to blister
- 59:51Speaker 1: and gave him gastro intestinal issues. He said he had
- 59:53Speaker 1: no idea how dangerous the sauces could be, and that
- 59:58Speaker 1: he added a lot of the saucer from self service
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: bar onto his tacos, which again in the cord of reporting.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: He rarely eats spicy food, so he sued the restaurant
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: for fair to provide adequate warnings about the spiciness of
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: the saucage whatever. He also said he had a colonoscopy
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: before the incident, which determined he specifically has an adverse
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: reaction to spice. He knew that ahead of time. You
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: see where I'm going on this one. The judge threw
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: the case out because he never sampled the salsa or
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: even bothered asking staff about the spice level before eating it.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: According to the judge, a quick Google search for Mexican
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: food salsa or even Los Tacos reviews likely would have
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: revealed that the salsa can bee quite spicy, pointing out
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: also that Los Tacos did not have a due to
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: warn him of the spice associated risks that come with
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: consuming salsa. Cave a empt or buyer, beware going back
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: to the THHC beverage. If you've never had one, it's
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: probably not going to hit you like alcohol. And to
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: the extent you want to take one or drink one,
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: you might want to do so in comfortable surroundings where
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: you're not going to be behind the wheel of an automobile.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Among other things. Simple lessons of Life, Governor de Wine,

- 1:01:30Speaker 1: in History's turning Points, Donald on Neil, Americans for Prosperity
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: at the bottom of the next hour need support. John
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: Houston over shared Brown. Well, that's an obvious point, Donovan.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: We'll have Donald on seven thirty the meantime, Mike's on
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: the phone. Hey Mike, welcome to the show. Thanks for
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to you, sir.
- 1:01:46Speaker 12: Hi Ryan.
- 1:01:48Speaker 7: So the German guy that went to the Mexican restaurant,
- 1:01:52Speaker 7: how long before he went to the restaurant. Did he
- 1:01:55Speaker 7: have this colon asthmy I mean, was that the first
- 1:01:57Speaker 7: thing he's there in his stomach?
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: I know, yeah, well I don't know when it didn't
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: say that. It's a valid point. He did know ahead
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: of time that he was subject to start dispress and
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: problems because his colon's messed up or whatever. But he's
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: German and he's not used to eating that food.
- 1:02:10Speaker 7: Erico did watch YouTube and sell this hot I know, well.
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: You know I was joke.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: Litigation myth number twelve. Your claim must have merit. Joe
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: Strecker suggested he is going to call Blake Maslin to
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: see if they'll take up his case. Joe Strecker had
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: a bad reaction for eating hot jardin earra when dining
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: at a Chicago style restaurant. I told Joe, we have
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: an open jar of hot jardin are in our refrigerator
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: at all times. I can't eat that stuff with a
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: spoon right out of the jar. So different strokes are different, folks.
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: I guess the point being you know no ahead of time,
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: and when it comes to THAC beverages, which started off
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: this ridiculous parallel, I'm responsible for so you can't buy
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: him in Ohio after among other things, the laws changed
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: because SB fifty six, fine, well do. It's also a
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: six nature petition out there to repeal SB fifty six.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: So if you are inclined to hate what was accomplished
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: in that one, there's an opportunity to get it on
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: the ballot and repeal that. So whether or not that happens,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: time will tell. But in so far as those who
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: are desirous of getting THC beverages after Friday, it's a
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: short jog over the Ohio River, Jost Trecker. They sell
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: them in north in Kentucky. Apparently, thank you cribbage, Mike
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: Party source is stocking up, he said. So that was
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: a free plug for cappies while they're on sale until
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: to Friday, when you can't get them there anymore. From
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: that point forward, go across the river. And in something
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: I didn't bring up much, and I just just quickly
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: address on this this voter id thing that's going on
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: in the Senate, and now they voted to advance it.
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: But this segues into a talking filibuster or a change
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: in the Senate rules on the sixty and I don't
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: want to change that sixty vote threshold, because you know
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: the Democrats at some point will take over. So if
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: you like the idea of maybe Puerto Rico as a state, Washington,
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: d C. Is a state, if you like the idea
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: of packing the Supreme Court. The only people standing into
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: the way of those things and many other things that
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: the Democrats want to achieve are the Republicans. If you
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: only need fifty one votes or fifty plus the vice president,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: assuming we get another Democrat president sometime down the road,
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: and I think odds are in favor that that is
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: going to happen, in spite of how insane that reality
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: may be to you or me, then you need that
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: sixty vote threshold in place. So writing's on the wall.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: And it's funny because apparently if they go through this
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: debate and it up until someone relinquishes, it's going to
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: set the vote up to advance the bill at the
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: Senate's usual sixty vote threshold. So go through the process
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: of the talking filibuster and watch all these folks read
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: from the phone book or they're recipes or whatever, nothing
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: involving a substantive debate. Then ultimately they'll get shot down
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: because you know, the Democrats are going to shoot it down,
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: and there are a lot of Republicans who are not
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: on board with this as well. They've been pushing back
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: growing number because they would to scrap or modify the
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: proposed ban on voting by mail, which apparently is really
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: popular in rural and red states. We got Lisa Murkowski
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: of Alaska pointing that out. Listen, We've got cities that
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: aren't even on the road grid, so no mail in
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: votes creates a lot of problems for folks. So devil
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: is always in the details, but just food for thought
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: as we go into the break here and prepare ourselves
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: for brilliance the Big Picture with Jack Abnen right after
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: the news.
- 1:05:43Speaker 12: What's happening over there? We're gonna at least chang on
- 1:05:45Speaker 12: these people.

- 1:06:09Speaker 12: Thank you. And stay strong my.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: Brother, Thank you man. With all the help I'm getting
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: out there, moral support and prayers and everything, it's easy
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: to stay strong and have a positive attitude, which I
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: do have. Is just you know, dealing with the aftermath
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: of Chemos is not fun. It's nothing. There's nothing fun
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: about it. You know. We're all with you, Thank you, brother.
- 1:06:27Speaker 12: There are turning points that change the course of history.
- 1:06:32Speaker 12: Our current war with a Run, I believe, is one
- 1:06:35Speaker 12: of them, and it mirrors an earlier war that kept
- 1:06:38Speaker 12: Islam from over running Europe twelve hundred years ago. We'll
- 1:06:43Speaker 12: discuss the epic Battle of Tours in just a moment,
- 1:06:46Speaker 12: but first, friends, forget the lies we're being told about
- 1:06:50Speaker 12: the current threat from a Run not having been imminent,
- 1:06:54Speaker 12: not having been far reaching, certainly not existential. Instead, as
- 1:07:00Speaker 12: a no, you do, Brian, remember that Barack Hussein Obama
- 1:07:04Speaker 12: and Joseph Robinat Biden were happy to let Iran develop
- 1:07:09Speaker 12: nuclear weapons under the terms of Obama's twenty fifteen nuclear deal,
- 1:07:14Speaker 12: the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA, Iran would
- 1:07:18Speaker 12: have developed nuclear weapons by now. The Sixth Nation Deal,
- 1:07:24Speaker 12: which Obama paid for in the dead of night with
- 1:07:27Speaker 12: secret palats of cash. That deal delayed but did not
- 1:07:31Speaker 12: outlaw Iran's nuclearization, and by its own terms, the Iran
- 1:07:36Speaker 12: Nuclear Deal was set to expire in twenty twenty five. Instead,
- 1:07:42Speaker 12: in twenty eighteen, Donald Trump pulled America out of that
- 1:07:46Speaker 12: catastrophic deal. Then, when he got back into office, Trump
- 1:07:49Speaker 12: last June obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment plants, but he did
- 1:07:55Speaker 12: not seek regime change. The president's hope was that the
- 1:07:59Speaker 12: terror state, without further war, would abandon its nuclear ambitions. Instead,
- 1:08:05Speaker 12: Trump's chief negotiator, Steve Witkoff whoy I have no reasonab
- 1:08:08Speaker 12: believe his lyne says. Iran began talks last month by
- 1:08:12Speaker 12: boasting by threatening that it had enriched enough uranium to
- 1:08:17Speaker 12: make eleven nuclear bombs in a matter of weeks. Plus,
- 1:08:21Speaker 12: the Mullus had amassed, as we now know, an arsenal
- 1:08:25Speaker 12: of thousands of ballistic missiles, cluster bombs, and innumerable Kamakazi drones.
- 1:08:30Speaker 12: In other words, Trump realized Iran would soon be unstoppable
- 1:08:36Speaker 12: in permanent control of the Strait of Hormuz and, as
- 1:08:39Speaker 12: you pointed out, twenty percent of the world's oil, and
- 1:08:43Speaker 12: unlike nuclear Pakistan or even North Korea, the Hermit Kingdom
- 1:08:48Speaker 12: Iran actively spreads Jihada's terror around the globe. An unstoppable
- 1:08:55Speaker 12: nuclear Iran, allied with communist China and Putin's Russia, would
- 1:09:00Speaker 12: change the world, just as the first Islamic Johannists tried
- 1:09:05Speaker 12: to do in the year seven thirty two. Had they
- 1:09:09Speaker 12: succeeded back then, Europe as we know it and America
- 1:09:13Speaker 12: would never even have existed. Here's this week's history. Just
- 1:09:19Speaker 12: one hundred years after the death of the prohat Maha
- 1:09:21Speaker 12: prophet Muhammad, his new religion Islam, which means submission or
- 1:09:27Speaker 12: surrender to the will of God. Islam had already conquered
- 1:09:32Speaker 12: a crescent that spanned Arabia going west to North Africa
- 1:09:37Speaker 12: and the Iberian Peninsula across the Mediterranean from Spain. The
- 1:09:42Speaker 12: Muslim Caliphate was next aiming to conquer the rest of Europe,
- 1:09:46Speaker 12: until in southern France they met Frankish forces led by
- 1:09:51Speaker 12: Charles Martel. Here's a telling coincidence. Brian Donald Trump named
- 1:09:56Speaker 12: last June's attack on Iran's nuclear program mid Night Hammer
- 1:10:01Speaker 12: Martel in Old French means hammer. At the Battle of Tours,
- 1:10:06Speaker 12: Charles Martel stopped the Muslim advance, and although Mores continued
- 1:10:11Speaker 12: to rule Spain for seven hundred years, there was no
- 1:10:15Speaker 12: need for regime change. Maybe there's no need now, there's
- 1:10:18Speaker 12: need for containment, and that's what we had. Islam made
- 1:10:22Speaker 12: no more advances into the rest of Europe until after
- 1:10:28Speaker 12: World War II. Until that's when European powers. After World
- 1:10:33Speaker 12: War II, it last gave up their colonies and welcomed
- 1:10:37Speaker 12: a mass migration of formerly subject peoples into Britain, France, Germany, Sweden,
- 1:10:44Speaker 12: other countries. This Third World migration, legal and illegal, continues
- 1:10:50Speaker 12: today in both Europe and America. For the United States,
- 1:10:55Speaker 12: in many ways, this is not racist. It's no different
- 1:10:58Speaker 12: than the formers migrations of English, Scotch, Dutch, Irish, Italians,
- 1:11:04Speaker 12: Eastern Europeans, Asians, and everyone else who became Americans, not
- 1:11:11Speaker 12: hyphenated Americans, legal citizens who embraced the American idea of
- 1:11:17Speaker 12: limited government protecting individual rights. The problem is when immigrants
- 1:11:22Speaker 12: do not seek to assimilate, when they brand America a
- 1:11:26Speaker 12: fundamentally unjust, racist society that needs to be radically changed,
- 1:11:33Speaker 12: that needs a Marxist government. Today, radicalized immigrants received backing
- 1:11:38Speaker 12: from Democrat politicians, their media, and their universities, and their
- 1:11:43Speaker 12: flames are being stoked by Iran and its ally communist China,
- 1:11:48Speaker 12: containing not Islam but radical Islam. Jihttest Islam is our
- 1:11:55Speaker 12: challenge here at home, and more urgently, with the utmost urgency,
- 1:11:59Speaker 12: our challenge in a Iran that's seeking to get nuclear weapons.
- 1:12:04Speaker 12: It's unthinkable. The Iran of the Iatolas has killed directly
- 1:12:08Speaker 12: and indirectly more than a thousand Americans, probably more than
- 1:12:11Speaker 12: two thousand. It's been vowing death to America as part
- 1:12:15Speaker 12: of an official holiday that was just observed, and it's
- 1:12:18Speaker 12: been doing that for forty seven years. Until President Trump attacked.
- 1:12:22Speaker 12: They were on the verge of achieving that dream. If
- 1:12:25Speaker 12: Trump and are valiant armed forces and are now nonpartisan
- 1:12:31Speaker 12: intelligence agencies and our steadfast ally not Britain, not France,
- 1:12:36Speaker 12: not any of those European countries, but Israel, if they
- 1:12:40Speaker 12: all succeed in containing Iran, perhaps, look I can dream,
- 1:12:45Speaker 12: they might even succeed in drawing Iran into the Abraham Accord,
- 1:12:49Speaker 12: that epic agreement and the Brotherhood of Humane Nations. Operation
- 1:12:55Speaker 12: Epic Fury may join the Battle of Tours as a
- 1:12:58Speaker 12: turning point in history. I think it's worth a few
- 1:13:01Speaker 12: weeks of gas prices almost as high as they were
- 1:13:05Speaker 12: under Joe Biden. What do you say, bro just.
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: I always love your commentary. Jack. I could hear what
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: you got to say before it was being said and
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: appreciate the pointed way in which you phrase things. I
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: got a question for you. We're not going to be
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: nearly as impacted by the Straight of Horror Moos closure,
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: and who is NATO? Donald Trump reached out to the
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: NATO countries who are now struggling with even higher gasoline
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: natural gas prices. Straight of Horror Moos one of the reasons.
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: But this was a self inflicted wound that they put
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: upon themselves long in advance of the Straight of Horror
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: moves being closed because they're trying to get rid of
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: carbon dioxide. But if Europe our NATO allies are going
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: to be so burdened by the Straight of Hormos closure,
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: wouldn't you expect them to want to help deal with
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: the mind sweeping so they can open that back up
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: for their own best interest. And it kind of I
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: struggle with that, and I have a question for you,
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: and I put it just in the same way that
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: you talked about the Moors in Spain and.
- 1:14:02Speaker 12: The open Can I address that NATO question, Brian.
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: Well, I was just going to ask you if you
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: think the reason that they're backed into a corner is
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: because of exactly what you pointed out in your monologue,
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: which is, post World War Two, they opened their borders
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: up to every man, woman and child from Muslim nations
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: that now are a very predominant number of folks within
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: the NATO countries, a lot of them. Are they afraid
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: of what might happen if they participate? Maybe there's something
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: else in there, Jack.
- 1:14:27Speaker 12: No, that's it. Yes, I mean, imagine if you had
- 1:14:30Speaker 12: to fight this war based on backing from Lansing, Michigan.
- 1:14:34Speaker 12: You know, I mean any place in southern Michigan. It's
- 1:14:38Speaker 12: the same situation, except it's writ a little bit larger.
- 1:14:41Speaker 12: NATO says it's not going to help keep the straight
- 1:14:43Speaker 12: of horror wars open because Iran is not part of Europe.
- 1:14:47Speaker 12: But back in twenty eleven, with Barack Obama quote leaving
- 1:14:51Speaker 12: from behind, NATO intervened militarily in the Libyan civil war
- 1:14:58Speaker 12: in North Africa. Suppose of that because momark Aadafi was
- 1:15:01Speaker 12: firing on civilians, just as the Uranians have been killing
- 1:15:04Speaker 12: what thirty thousand of their people in the course of
- 1:15:07Speaker 12: just a couple of weeks. But of course back then
- 1:15:10Speaker 12: it was once again, as most wars since World War
- 1:15:13Speaker 12: One have proved true, it's mostly about oil. Europe was
- 1:15:17Speaker 12: getting a tremendous amount of oil from Libya and it
- 1:15:20Speaker 12: still does. Actually, most of the oil from the Strait
- 1:15:23Speaker 12: of Hormuz goes to Asia. That's why India has made
- 1:15:27Speaker 12: a deal, and China is getting the ships through. Europe
- 1:15:30Speaker 12: is not quite as dependent. But yes, your point is
- 1:15:33Speaker 12: the right one. They simply can't go against the ever
- 1:15:37Speaker 12: growing number of minorities that they have in Europe. But
- 1:15:40Speaker 12: there's something else. The left is now celebrating the resignation
- 1:15:44Speaker 12: of Trump's counter terrorism chief Joe Kent because Kent says
- 1:15:49Speaker 12: Iran did not pose an imminent threat to America, and
- 1:15:53Speaker 12: Kent adds because Israel pressured Trump to attack, I think
- 1:15:57Speaker 12: that game gives his game away. It's a different talk.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: Well, and his follow up statement was the whole Jewish
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: conspiracy thing. I mean in so far as the powerful
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: Israel interest in the United States. And that sounds like
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: someone who would say that Hollywood's controlled by the Jews.
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: And I immediately like Bristol when I hear those kinds
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: of statements. But that sounded like what he was saying.
- 1:16:16Speaker 12: Well, that's exactly what he probably did say if he
- 1:16:18Speaker 12: was watching the Academy Awards. Not because we saw somebody
- 1:16:21Speaker 12: Jewish movies. There was no filler on the roof. But
- 1:16:24Speaker 12: you know that we've been hearing that ever since we
- 1:16:26Speaker 12: had Nickelodeon's Great Movie. You know, consider this, Joe Kent
- 1:16:32Speaker 12: may or may not be right, and not so much
- 1:16:34Speaker 12: about Israel. Trump was not led by the nose by Israel.
- 1:16:37Speaker 12: He sees, you know, frustrated them many times since October seventh,
- 1:16:41Speaker 12: but not that. Many presidents have been opposed by members
- 1:16:46Speaker 12: of their own administration. For example, as soon as I
- 1:16:49Speaker 12: heard about this Joe Kent, I thought about one of
- 1:16:51Speaker 12: the most famous examples in history. Lincoln's top general, the
- 1:16:55Speaker 12: man who was running the war, George McClellan, opposed the
- 1:16:59Speaker 12: president's Civil War strategy and even ran against Lincoln for
- 1:17:03Speaker 12: Presidents in eighteen sixty four as a Democrat, promising that
- 1:17:08Speaker 12: if he was elected, McClellan would negotiate with the South.
- 1:17:12Speaker 12: Instead of negotiating, Lincoln promoted Ulysses S. Grant, a boy
- 1:17:17Speaker 12: from Ohio, and he won the war and was later
- 1:17:20Speaker 12: elected president. So we'll see how history treats Joe Kent.
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: Yes, we will, and we'll see how ultimately history treats
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: our NATO allies who you know, it's like the two
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: self inflicted wounds. One, they did not care enough about
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: their countries, their borders, and their individual cultures. Vast and
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: varied they were, and allowed millions and millions of folks
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: from Middle East to enter the European Union and NATO countries.
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: Obviously that's posed a problem for them now if in fact,
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: the reason they are afraid to help open the straight
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: of horror moves is because of that, and I think
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: a lot of people are pointing it out. That's why
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: I asked you about it, Jack. You know, the corollary
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: self inflicted wound is their mindless pursuit of getting rid
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: of carbon dioxide, which has already forced the price of
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: natural gas and oil through the roof. Then you got
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: that compounding factor, what they're against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: They keep rattling sabers that they don't have anymore and
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: screaming about the world needs to help Ukraine fight off
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: those evil Russians who are coming over the hill. They're
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: still buying gas and oil from Russia, which, of course
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: duh helps fund their military.
- 1:18:26Speaker 12: So the Great Britain buys from Norway. Yeah, from the
- 1:18:30Speaker 12: same sea that Britain shares where they could be getting
- 1:18:33Speaker 12: extracting oil as well. It's all nonsense. The Trump administration
- 1:18:36Speaker 12: pointed this out yesterday. It's all about politics. Politics is
- 1:18:40Speaker 12: often about oil. It's often about the green movement that
- 1:18:44Speaker 12: they have in Europe. It's swamped Europe for decades. Now
- 1:18:49Speaker 12: you know China again, as the Trump Administration's pointed out,
- 1:18:53Speaker 12: China sells Europe these windmills and doesn't use them themselves.
- 1:18:59Speaker 12: They were lying and coal.
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: And they engage in a massive artificial intelligence bot farm
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: program to get us all to believe that we're all
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: killing ourselves by exhaling, and then we buy into that nonsense,
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: which of course feeds their industry and business and their economy,
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: while they, as you point out, don't use the same
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: stuff they're building coal plants. What isn't europe Brian.
- 1:19:22Speaker 12: What we've got to remember about Europe is that there
- 1:19:24Speaker 12: are ten, maybe twenty years ahead of us in decadence,
- 1:19:29Speaker 12: in decline. Europe is completely marribund at this point. And
- 1:19:33Speaker 12: except with the exception of Italy, and you know, do
- 1:19:37Speaker 12: you want to follow in their footsteps Democrats do?
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: We've got to resist, resist, we must. Jack evidence is
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: one of the reasons I love having you on the show.
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: You pointed out in such clear, concise and historically grounded terms.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: We are blessed by your presence on the morning show.
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: God bless you, sir, as I mentioned. We'll see you
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: next Wednesday for another edition of The Big Picture and
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: best of health and loved you in your better health

- 1:21:14Speaker 1: Donovan O'Neil, thanks for indulging me on that and Welcome
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: back to the fifty five Casey Morning Show from Americans
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: for Prosperity. You got an easy subject matter today, Donovan,
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: at least to my listening audience. Good to have you back, Brian.
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: Always great to be with you.
- 1:21:27Speaker 16: And I'll try to call in if I hopefully won
- 1:21:30Speaker 16: this segment wraps up.
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: You better be doing that right now, man, Just use
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: your cell phone. Why multitask and make the call while
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: you're on the phone with me? So anyhow, No, but
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: like listen, I'm looking at the subject matter. I've been
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: kind of chuckling about it all morning among my listening audience.
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: The need to support John Hughes that over shared Brown.
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: That's an easy ask for my listening audience, and talk
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: about the importance of that, and then we'll get to
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: what my listeners can do because you would AFP make
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: it so easy for us to get engaged.
- 1:21:59Speaker 16: Well, yeah, and just to be I'm on representing Americans
- 1:22:02Speaker 16: for Prosperity Action. I'm a senior advisor here in Ohio.
- 1:22:05Speaker 16: AFP Action on Monday announced its endorsement of Senator John
- 1:22:09Speaker 16: Houstad for reelection this November. Again, not a big surprise.
- 1:22:13Speaker 16: We've had a long history with now Senator Houstead. He
- 1:22:18Speaker 16: was the original recipient of the taxpayer torture that AFP
- 1:22:21Speaker 16: issues every year, fought for reg reform and the Common
- 1:22:25Speaker 16: Sense Initiative during his time as Lieutenant governor. As former
- 1:22:29Speaker 16: Speaker of the Ohio House, he worked to bring school
- 1:22:31Speaker 16: choice to the state of Ohio and get us on
- 1:22:34Speaker 16: the path that we are now at on tax reform,
- 1:22:37Speaker 16: getting Ohio to a flat tax. He started that move
- 1:22:40Speaker 16: well Speaker of the Ohio House, and so as Senator,
- 1:22:43Speaker 16: we've seen him deliver on the promises that voters were
- 1:22:46Speaker 16: looking for in twenty twenty four, funding secure borders, locking
- 1:22:53Speaker 16: in the twenty seventeen Trump tax cuts, and he's committed
- 1:22:57Speaker 16: to making sure we get energy policy right in this country.
- 1:23:00Speaker 16: Now that has some other hurdles in Washington, as we're
- 1:23:02Speaker 16: all learning at this stage, but he's focused on the
- 1:23:05Speaker 16: right things, been doing the right work for a long
- 1:23:08Speaker 16: time for the people of Ohio, and we're just thrilled
- 1:23:10Speaker 16: to be able to stand alongside him to get that
- 1:23:12Speaker 16: message out and make sure voters know we got to
- 1:23:15Speaker 16: send John Houstead to Washington this November.
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: No question about I'm glad you got the endorsement again.
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: Long time coming and much expected from AFP considering what
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: AFP actions doing. Tell you what I'm gonna bring you
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: back down. We'll talk about the ways which my listeners
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: can help, and I want to ask you ahead of time,
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: so you know what I'm going to ask. Are there
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: any and I think this is a legitimate discussion for
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: us to have. You know, there are some issues that
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: Democrats might have a little bit disway over the Republicans.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: I would say few and far between, but there's always
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: those challenging issues and I'm kind of curious to know
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: if you have any insight into where those potentially problematic
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: issues are and maybe explain why they're really not a problem.
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: For John Houstad, I know this spins one thing, but
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: reality happens to be another. But these are kind of
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: things we have to talk about as we head on
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: in the election of November. More with Donald and Neil
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperity with his action hat on after I
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: mentioned odo exit is perfect. Odo exit works on everything
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: except the stench of politics. If you have an odor
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: springtime skunk out, that skunk comes out and sprays your
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: dog or anything else for that matter.
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: The talk station.
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: Seven forty here if you have KERCD talk station, Happy Wednesday,
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: Bright Thomas with Donald and Neil Americans for Prosperity Action
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: has had on today talking about the battle between Shared
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: Brown and John Houston, and of course then we need
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: to elect John Houston. Starting with I'm just looking at
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: current polling and I am a little distressed to find
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: out that in the if you look all of them quantas, EMC,
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: On Message, Emerson College, Brown Bowling, Green University, a much
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: other poles, they're pretty much neck and neck. I would argue,
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: within the margin of error with the average of the
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: top three polls, Brown got has forty seven point three
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: and John Houston has forty six percent, So neck and
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: neck and on in a red state of Ohio. I
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: find that a little hard to swallow any response or
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: answer to why that might be, assuming the polls have
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: some sense of accuracy. Donovan, Yeah, well, I mean you.
- 1:25:10Speaker 16: Just look at historical trends and you know that, you know,
- 1:25:15Speaker 16: the party with in power oftentimes is the underdog in
- 1:25:22Speaker 16: an upcoming midterm election. In other words, right American politics
- 1:25:27Speaker 16: is a pendulum. The pendulum swung in twenty twenty four
- 1:25:31Speaker 16: very strong for Republicans for conservatives. We came out of
- 1:25:35Speaker 16: four years of Bidenomics economy, and folks were ready for change. Now,
- 1:25:40Speaker 16: you know, different folks have opinions of how that change
- 1:25:42Speaker 16: is happening.
- 1:25:43Speaker 5: One of the challenges, you.
- 1:25:44Speaker 16: Know, when you're in the majority is you've got a lead,
- 1:25:47Speaker 16: and when you're in the minority, you could lob you know,
- 1:25:49Speaker 16: proverbial bombs and throw rocks and right. Because you're not
- 1:25:53Speaker 16: in leadership, you can really do whatever you want, and
- 1:25:55Speaker 16: that has an impact on public opinion. Our task, you know,
- 1:25:59Speaker 16: this year, really is to get out there and help connect.
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: Folks to the why of the education Party. Yes because
- 1:26:07Speaker 1: you and don I mean interrupt, But my reaction, ever,
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: which time I hear that the party in power tends
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: to lose and you ask yourself, wait a second, why?
- 1:26:16Speaker 12: Now?
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: I understand the party and power and a Bide administration
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: would have lost seat because well he was an idiot
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: and things were going south on us. You know, gasoline
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: prices a hell of a lot higher than they are
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: now inspite of the ward outbreak, and we could go
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: on and on and on. Policies were not helping the
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: American people. Inflation going through the roof really high, inflation
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: versus what it is that you could objectively see what
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: was hurting you. Now I understand Trump derangement syndrome. Of
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: course that's going to rub off on this on this
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: race too. But the question is why what the hell
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: is Shared Brown offering or suggesting? And you went through
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: John Houston a very brief account of what he has
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: been able to accomplish. He's a list been very, very successful.
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: And if you look at Shared Brown's own website, he fights.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: Apparently he fights. He's a fighter fighting for the worker.
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: You know, okay, fight, fight, fight, But what did you do?
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: What are you promising? He doesn't even have an issues
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: page at Chared Brown Ohio.
- 1:27:06Speaker 16: Well, that's one of the interesting things about sreburrown, right,
- 1:27:09Speaker 16: and it's what we've seen throughout his career is he's
- 1:27:10Speaker 16: a chameleon.
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: Who he is in Oha, who.
- 1:27:14Speaker 16: He portrays himself as being in Ohio is entirely different
- 1:27:18Speaker 16: than what his record is in Washington, d C. And
- 1:27:21Speaker 16: that's the thing we've got to get out there and do.
- 1:27:22Speaker 16: Now his advantages he doesn't have to actually govern right now.
- 1:27:25Speaker 16: He can go around the state, have small curated groups
- 1:27:29Speaker 16: that sit down with him, provide a favorable message and
- 1:27:33Speaker 16: portrayal to traditional news media and social media content creators.
- 1:27:37Speaker 16: But he doesn't actually have to lead, and so he
- 1:27:40Speaker 16: can spend his time lobbing bombs and throwing rocks without having.
- 1:27:43Speaker 1: To do the work.
- 1:27:44Speaker 16: But again, it's why organizations like ours getting in the
- 1:27:46Speaker 16: fight is going to be so critical, because we have
- 1:27:49Speaker 16: the ability to go out there. We've got the data,
- 1:27:50Speaker 16: we understand where the voters are that are.
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: Open to receiving our.
- 1:27:56Speaker 16: Message, and there's enough of unfortunately that can make sure
- 1:27:58Speaker 16: that we win this thing. But we've seen how shared
- 1:28:01Speaker 16: Brown campaigns. He's a tough campaigner, and that's why we
- 1:28:05Speaker 16: got to get out there. We can't count any of
- 1:28:07Speaker 16: this as being done yet, even though we are a
- 1:28:09Speaker 16: red state, because that work has to be done in
- 1:28:12Speaker 16: order to win the votes to make sure that we
- 1:28:15Speaker 16: protect the new Republican majority in Washington, and.
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: You walk right into it that work. What is that work?
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: And what does Americans for Prosperity Action want to do
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: to help my listeners get engaged a little bit, a
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: whole lot, anything they're capable of doing. I know a
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: lot of listeners would love to help out in this race.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: Donovan and Neil.
- 1:28:32Speaker 16: Well as if any good Ohioan knows you're going to
- 1:28:36Speaker 16: receive the onslaught of mail in your mailbox, ads in
- 1:28:39Speaker 16: your Facebook feed, and TV ads on your Hulu, Netflix,
- 1:28:43Speaker 16: whatever it is you watch accounts. But the thing we
- 1:28:46Speaker 16: do different at AFP Action is we actually go do doors.
- 1:28:49Speaker 16: We go talk to people friend of friend, neighbor to neighbor, community,
- 1:28:52Speaker 16: community across the state of Ohio. And what we found
- 1:28:55Speaker 16: over the years is that's the difference maker in elections.
- 1:28:58Speaker 16: Brian and you can imagine law. It's because we actually
- 1:29:01Speaker 16: go have conversations with people. We cut through the noise,
- 1:29:04Speaker 16: We cut through you know, the half truth that oftentimes
- 1:29:08Speaker 16: we find on the television ads on regular networks, and
- 1:29:13Speaker 16: we have an ability for you know, one Ohioan like
- 1:29:15Speaker 16: myself with a family of three, married with a family
- 1:29:17Speaker 16: of three, trying to get our kids paid for kids school,
- 1:29:20Speaker 16: gas and utility bills, having the ability to go talk
- 1:29:23Speaker 16: to another Ohio And who's experiencing the same things i
- 1:29:26Speaker 16: am and help them understand why John Houston is the
- 1:29:29Speaker 16: better alternative to going back to a forty year career politician.
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: It's a difference maker.
- 1:29:35Speaker 16: Doors matter, Brian and that's what we're gonna be doing
- 1:29:37Speaker 16: a lot of this year.
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, because I'm pretty sure
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: I understand where John Houston is. Where is Shriff Brown
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: on energy policy? My understanding is one of these Green
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: New Deal kind of embracers, which means the likelihood of
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: us getting some responsible, reliable, continuous power in Ohio or
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: anyplace else in this country is probably limited by our
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: global warming agenda.
- 1:29:58Speaker 5: Well, I think a.
- 1:29:59Speaker 16: Large part why we're in the situation we're in today,
- 1:30:01Speaker 16: and actually it's not my thoughts, it's conversations I've had
- 1:30:04Speaker 16: with policy makers, regulators, and otherwise. The reason we're in
- 1:30:07Speaker 16: the situation we are today with high utility bills, high
- 1:30:10Speaker 16: energy prices in this country is because for the last
- 1:30:12Speaker 16: several decades, we've taken a protectionist approach, a small ball
- 1:30:17Speaker 16: approach to energy policy making. We've picked winners and losers
- 1:30:21Speaker 16: in terms of solar and wind over nuclear.
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: And coal and natural gas.
- 1:30:26Speaker 16: John Houston is somebody who supports an all of the
- 1:30:28Speaker 16: above energy policy.
- 1:30:29Speaker 12: Right.
- 1:30:30Speaker 16: What it does is I call it an abundance approach
- 1:30:33Speaker 16: to energy policy making.
- 1:30:34Speaker 5: It's saying the.
- 1:30:35Speaker 16: Way you know, it's the simple laws of supply and demand.
- 1:30:38Speaker 16: The way you make prices go down is you increase
- 1:30:40Speaker 16: the supply to overcome the demand. That'll make costs more
- 1:30:43Speaker 16: effective for homeowners like us Brian, for manufacturers creating jobs,
- 1:30:48Speaker 16: and for our economy at large.
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: We have the ability to do that here in Ohio.
- 1:30:52Speaker 16: Question is are we going to go backwards to a
- 1:30:56Speaker 16: winner you know, government picks the winners and losers energy
- 1:30:59Speaker 16: policy approach? Are we gonna move forward with an abundance
- 1:31:01Speaker 16: approach to energy policy making? John Houston delivers that abundance
- 1:31:05Speaker 16: approach to energy policy making.
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: No question about it. And I know that's a position
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: shared by v V Ramaswaming. Say what you want about
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: the man. He is very big on Ohio energy dominance
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: and he also is an above the board strategy. So
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: it's one more race that I'm counting on for my
- 1:31:22Speaker 1: listeners to consider as we move forward to November. Americans
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: for Prosperity. You got a website you want to direct
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: my listeners too, so they can get engaged and help
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: out with the door knocking Donovan.
- 1:31:32Speaker 16: AFP action dot com. Go to AFP action dot com,
- 1:31:36Speaker 16: sign up, get in the fight. We're gonna have tons
- 1:31:38Speaker 16: of opportunities to get involved, reach out. It's gonna take
- 1:31:41Speaker 16: everybody across the state of Ohio getting in this fight
- 1:31:44Speaker 16: to help make sure you know the work we did
- 1:31:46Speaker 16: in twenty twenty four doesn't go to waste. We worked
- 1:31:48Speaker 16: really hard to put Shared Brown into retirement. We're not
- 1:31:51Speaker 16: gonna let him come back in twenty twenty six.
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: I love your optimism, Donovan Neiel. We'll talk again next week.
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: Have a great week, my friend. To keep up the
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: great work. At AFP seven seven fifty three fifty about
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: KRCD talk station, talk about the Senate Bill fifty six
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: which is kicking in on Friday. No more THHD beverages
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: among the other thing. Beach, the owner of Temptations Locations,
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: a long, long, long time friend of mine. It's going
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: to join the program off top of the air, and
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: he was awake when Joe Trucker called him this morning.
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: Congratulations Beach, like Joe and I had you peg for
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: like getting up around eleven thirty. Kind of guy. I
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know anyway, this should be fun.
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: Since I mentioned global warming, you need know where I
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: am on that. I saw this wonderful op ed piece
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: and it's worth reading just two quick paragraphs Terry Headley
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: op ed piece, these people are crazy climate science and
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: the cult of self loathing. And this is something that
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: I boiled down many times in brief statements over the years. Anyway,
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: fast forward into a paragraph. Science properly practiced is iterative
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: and self correcting. It advances through questioning, testing and refinement.
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: Yet public climate discourse increasingly exhibits the traits of an
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: ideological orthodoxy. Skepticism about model assumptions maybe you have them
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: or policy prescriptions is often met not with counter argument,
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: but with moral denunciation. The language of heresy, denial, anti science,
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: existential threat is deployed to narrow the field of acceptable opinion.
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: When discipline presents itself as beyond debate and frames policy
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: disagreement as ethical failure, it ceases to resemble open incore
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: and begins to resemble doctrine. This transformation warrants scrutiny, not
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: because environmental concerns are illegitimate, because intellectual humility is essential
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: to credible science. The philosophical undercurrent of contemporary climate activism
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: reveals a deeper unease with human progress and its more
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: radical edges. The movement portrays mankind not primarily as steward
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: but contaminant. Human industry is described as invasive, consumption as pathological,
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: and growth as inherently destructive. Advocates of degrowth openly argue
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: that reduced economic output and lower living standards constitute moral improvement.
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: Discussions about limiting childbirth and the name of reducing carbon
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: footprints have moved from fringe to mainstream academic settings. Such
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: arguments rest upon a pessimistic, pessimistic anthropology that views human
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: flourishing as environmentally incompatible. Man, I've been saying that kind
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: of thing for years. They these leftists don't want growth.
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: We the United States, the biggest powerhouse economically on the planet.
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: Listen to Huntald Trump. If you don't believe me, are
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: the outlier. We are evil because of our success, We
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: project success, and our business models suggest to others that
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: they should follow our path and not go down as socialist,
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: self destructive road. Huh, there's an idea. Maybe that's why
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: we're hated so much. Coming up in seventy fifty six,
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: Beach from Temptations on SB fifty six Judge Enita Polaitano
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: on free speech for the but not for me, and
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: then fast forward to the end of the program. Brian Smith,
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: executive Director, Butler County Historical Society on an evening with
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: Marty Brenneman. That's at the tail end of the program.
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: I'll be right back. We put the app in a
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: six to fifty five dair ceed talk station. Happy Wednesday,
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: of course, Judge Enita Paul Tum at bottom of the
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: hour every Wednesday at eight thirty. In the meantime, I'm
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: happy to see a late edition of the fifty five
- 1:35:27Speaker 1: Garse Morning Show. Dear friend of mine, we go back decades,
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: went to church together and been good friends with his
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: older brother for well that long since I was a
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: little kid. Welcome back to the morning show. It's been
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: a while. Beach, the owner of the Temptations locations here
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: in the Greater SINCINNTI area. Good to hear from you, man.
- 1:35:43Speaker 8: It is great to be here. I'm glad that I
- 1:35:46Speaker 8: still have a voice to be heard.
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: Absolutely and of course with HB fifty six kicking in
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: on Friday, you know, a great guest to have on
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: the program because you understand all this. You've been your
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: Hamptations stores have been opened since what five or ninety six.
- 1:36:02Speaker 5: Ninety five is correct, Yes, thirty years Ye what.
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: Either The one thing I learned from you You can
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: make almost anything out of hemp. And this is before
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: you know, we we had all these mass legalization of hempen.
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: It was a great farming product. They made rope out
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: of it for years, an industrial product. You can make
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: paper out of it, clothing, you can make an entire
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: bar out of it, which you have at your location
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: in Sharonville.
- 1:36:28Speaker 5: Used to we.
- 1:36:29Speaker 8: Actually had to close the sh oh no, yes, we've
- 1:36:33Speaker 8: downsized quite a bit. We have still not honestly recovered
- 1:36:37Speaker 8: from what COVID did to retail, and so I'm yeah,
- 1:36:41Speaker 8: I'm pretty much downsized to to one shop down in
- 1:36:46Speaker 8: North Signed on Spring Grove Avenue.
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: But yeah, you can.
- 1:36:50Speaker 8: You can build a house from it, you can build
- 1:36:51Speaker 8: a car from it. You can run that car on it.
- 1:36:54Speaker 8: You can make the strongest natural material, which is just
- 1:37:00Speaker 8: hemp material, or you can make the strongest natural man
- 1:37:04Speaker 8: made material, which is graphine. So you can make graphine
- 1:37:09Speaker 8: from hemp, which is the strongest man made material on
- 1:37:12Speaker 8: the planet.
- 1:37:14Speaker 5: It's endless.
- 1:37:15Speaker 8: It is honestly endless what you can do with the
- 1:37:18Speaker 8: whole plant.
- 1:37:19Speaker 5: It is true.
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: In this you have been advocating for and enlightening people
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: to the versatility of hemp for a long long time,
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: and that it was ever illegal is kind of weird
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: because as we move over to HB fifty six and
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: what it means, you can also out of hemp get
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: hemp derived THHC. Now, this is where I want you
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: to break it down from my listeners who may not
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: be hipped to the whole reality of hemp drived THHC
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: versus THC from regulated marijuana, which we voted in the
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: state of Ohio to allow legality of. And there's medical
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: and there's recreational stores all over the place.
- 1:37:55Speaker 5: Now.
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: In fact, there's one like a few miles from my
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: house at two seventy five of Montgomery Road. Now, so
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: that's where you buy real marijuana with typically higher THC contents.
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: But hemp itself has a really really tiny amount of
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: natural THCHC in it.
- 1:38:10Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: I remember some politicians saying, no self respecting stone or
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: would ever be caught smoking hemp. I mean, you like
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: a pointless gesture to try to get high off of it?
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: Is that right? It's got a little bit though, right
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: that it's correct.
- 1:38:23Speaker 8: Well, here's the deal. When the federal government defined hemp
- 1:38:28Speaker 8: it is cannabis with zero point three percent or less THHC.
- 1:38:34Speaker 8: So there is that minuscule amount of THHC. And at
- 1:38:37Speaker 8: the end of the day, when you know you take
- 1:38:40Speaker 8: your say you're growing for CBD or CBG or CBN,
- 1:38:45Speaker 8: you take that flower and you extract that. If you
- 1:38:47Speaker 8: want to make an isolate from that, you extract that CBD.
- 1:38:52Speaker 8: But the then off is that point three percent, and
- 1:38:55Speaker 8: that's by dryway at the end of the harvest. Okay,
- 1:38:59Speaker 8: that's not the end product. That's where there's a lot
- 1:39:02Speaker 8: of confusion because a lot of people believe that you
- 1:39:05Speaker 8: can only have point three percent THC and say the
- 1:39:09Speaker 8: bottle of the tasture of CBD. No, okay, you have
- 1:39:14Speaker 8: that point three percent that's allowed at the end of
- 1:39:17Speaker 8: the harvest. So point three percent of that flower, right
- 1:39:20Speaker 8: is THCHC goes into a jar up on a shelf.
- 1:39:24Speaker 8: This is basically how this all kind of played out
- 1:39:26Speaker 8: in the industry. In twenty and eighteen, so it's been
- 1:39:31Speaker 8: legal to grow hemp in the United States. It's twenty fourteen.
- 1:39:35Speaker 8: Hemp has been off the controlled substance list since two
- 1:39:38Speaker 8: thousand and eighteen. So anyway, you end up with that
- 1:39:41Speaker 8: point three percent THCHC. You can take that THC and
- 1:39:45Speaker 8: I want to be clear here, folks, that THCHC is
- 1:39:50Speaker 8: exactly the same THC as what they what is in
- 1:39:55Speaker 8: quotes marijuana. Of course, marijuana is cannabis. Just so everybody,
- 1:40:01Speaker 8: it's the same plant. Two different definitions of a plant.
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: One's got a lot of THC, the other one has
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: a lowerman of THC hemp or cannabis.
- 1:40:13Speaker 8: Yes, but that THHC is is just fine, you know
- 1:40:17Speaker 8: what I mean, it's the exact same thing.
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: So what do we do? Then we take the hemp
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: drive point three THCHC that's sitting in a refined jar
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: on the shelf, and you concentrate that, right, and you
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: end up with what might be an intoxicating beverage made
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: from hemp.
- 1:40:32Speaker 8: Well, yeah, you just take that in milligram for and
- 1:40:35Speaker 8: that's you know, they just you know, they say.
- 1:40:36Speaker 5: Hey, there's five milligrams of THHD.
- 1:40:39Speaker 8: You put that in your seltzer waters or whatever it is.
- 1:40:43Speaker 5: It's huge on the market, huge on the market.
- 1:40:47Speaker 8: It's so big that you know, the the alcohol industry
- 1:40:51Speaker 8: last year dropped by thirty percent in the United States,
- 1:40:56Speaker 8: and a huge part of that they they blame it
- 1:40:59Speaker 8: on generations not drinking.
- 1:41:02Speaker 5: I can tell you this.
- 1:41:03Speaker 8: The one of the reasons, purely is because people are
- 1:41:08Speaker 8: moving to THC drinks.
- 1:41:11Speaker 5: They don't want to drink alcohol anymore, but.
- 1:41:14Speaker 8: THHC drinks are are just what they need, you know.
- 1:41:19Speaker 8: And this is everybody and I you know, I had
- 1:41:22Speaker 8: to say it, but you know they finally is a lawsuit.
- 1:41:27Speaker 8: And again I don't know why these lawsuits didn't start sooner,
- 1:41:30Speaker 8: because there are lawsuits on every end of And I
- 1:41:33Speaker 8: want to correct you.
- 1:41:34Speaker 5: It's SB fifty six.
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: S B yeah, not HB s B.
- 1:41:39Speaker 12: Yes.
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: I said SB all morning. And of course when I
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: interview the man who knows the most about this, I
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: screw it up. Brian Thomas can be. I'm on record,
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: I screw up from time to time. Unlike rustling book.
- 1:41:51Speaker 8: Well, you are talking to a person that knows more
- 1:41:54Speaker 8: about him than so that's true.
- 1:41:57Speaker 10: I feel like.
- 1:41:58Speaker 5: Correcting you is okay.
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: Anybody can correct anyway, all right, so I understand maybe
- 1:42:06Speaker 1: the reaction. You've explained it wonderfully. Of course, anybody with
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: a win about him is going to say, wait a second,
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: there's Hemp or there's THC in the hemp, let's concentrate it.
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: I mean, that's how we went from poppy plants to heroin.
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: For God's sake, somebody had an idea, right, So well,
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: we all know we love the THHD.
- 1:42:22Speaker 6: Everybody knows we love.
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: Currently so it's a growing phenomenon. But now as of Friday,
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: the law has changed with SB fifty six, which now
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: I think of because I saw the news story last night.
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: There's a liquor store in Loveland that that's where I
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: go if I need liquor, and they sell these beverages there, Capies.
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: They at a couple of locations. They interview the one
- 1:42:44Speaker 1: of the principles there, Capies and said, you know, we're
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: gonna be we're gonna be putting this stuff all on
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: sale because as a Friday, we're not gonna be able
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: to sell it anymore. And somebody chimed in and said, well,
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: you can still buy it in Kentucky. So those beverages
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: are still available across the river.
- 1:42:56Speaker 8: I suppose, yeah, or shipped you online that. Oh yeah,
- 1:43:02Speaker 8: here's the thing. The state of Ohio A they don't
- 1:43:05Speaker 8: have the authority to redefine help, so them saying that
- 1:43:10Speaker 8: we can't buy hemp where we're buying hemp now is
- 1:43:15Speaker 8: an illegal action. It's it's not legal for them to
- 1:43:18Speaker 8: do that. Only the federal government can redefine what happens.
- 1:43:20Speaker 8: The second part of this is they haven't even defined
- 1:43:24Speaker 8: what intoxicating hemp really is and so is it just THHC?
- 1:43:30Speaker 8: So are they just removing THC products, because then all
- 1:43:33Speaker 8: the what the industry should do is just move to THHCA,
- 1:43:37Speaker 8: which is exactly the same thing once it's heated, which
- 1:43:40Speaker 8: is how I can sell cannabis flour because it's THHCA
- 1:43:46Speaker 8: and it's you know, when you go to the dispensary,
- 1:43:48Speaker 8: they include the THHCA content with the total THC. We
- 1:43:53Speaker 8: can boost these numbers in hemp up to thirty percent.
- 1:43:58Speaker 8: This is another see the mirror water industry. The marijuana
- 1:44:04Speaker 8: and alcohol industry are both going after him, and we're
- 1:44:07Speaker 8: the federally legal ones. So it's time pronic to me
- 1:44:10Speaker 8: that the marijuana industry, which is not federally legal, is
- 1:44:14Speaker 8: attacking the hemp industry, which hands federally legal because they
- 1:44:19Speaker 8: don't like the competition.
- 1:44:20Speaker 1: All right, let's pause. I want to bring it back
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: because that word intoxicating is interesting, going back to your point,
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: HEMP has zero point three percent or less of THC?
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: Is it intoxicating? I don't know at what point we
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: might find intoxicating THCH.
- 1:44:40Speaker 4: So pause, we'll be talk station.
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: Hey, twenty fifty five KCD talk station Talking SB fifty
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: six comes into full effect here in Ohio on Friday,
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: So you'll no longer be able to walk into a
- 1:44:51Speaker 1: store where you currently could get them, like Happy's Liquor
- 1:44:54Speaker 1: store and get your THC beverages. But it's beyond that,
- 1:44:57Speaker 1: Beach my friend who owns Temptations. You're still at HMP
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: dot com right.
- 1:45:02Speaker 5: Yes, canbindemptations dot com.
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: And there's an online shop there where who will get
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: their CBD oil on other products. But also the high
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: noon HEMP show that you do every Wednesday. I'll let
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: people know at noon if they're interested in checking out
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: your podcast, that's where they might find that as well. So,
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: Beach my friend, going back to the question of intoxicating THC,
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: is that like defined as a specific level or is
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: that word just floating around out there, because what specifically
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: are we talking about under these legal changes?
- 1:45:31Speaker 8: Well, intoxic the term intoxicating have popped up about a
- 1:45:34Speaker 8: year or so, AGEA just randomly, all of a sudden,
- 1:45:37Speaker 8: describing all of these cannabinoids that supposedly intoxicates you, which
- 1:45:44Speaker 8: has never been defined.
- 1:45:46Speaker 5: You know what I mean, You've never been.
- 1:45:48Speaker 8: Never in the history of medical has there been anything
- 1:45:51Speaker 8: that's been defined as intoxicating drug.
- 1:45:54Speaker 5: I don't even know, you know. So that's the whole,
- 1:45:56Speaker 5: it's the whole.
- 1:45:58Speaker 8: That's the way they do these things marijuana, the way
- 1:46:02Speaker 8: the word marijuana was made up by the government in
- 1:46:07Speaker 8: the or in the thirties or late twenties, just like
- 1:46:11Speaker 8: they make.
- 1:46:11Speaker 5: Up the term intoxicating hemp to tell.
- 1:46:15Speaker 8: Us something that we must like isn't good for us
- 1:46:21Speaker 8: or isn't safe. And again this all goes back to
- 1:46:24Speaker 8: me saying, they keep telling us these things are so unsafe.
- 1:46:28Speaker 8: And see, the federal government's done the same thing. There's
- 1:46:31Speaker 8: a ban on these intoxicating help products that goes into
- 1:46:34Speaker 8: effect in November with the federal government. And this stuff
- 1:46:39Speaker 8: is so unsafe that they passed this back in November,
- 1:46:42Speaker 8: but they said we're gonna give it a year.
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: Huh.
- 1:46:45Speaker 5: We're we're doing this.
- 1:46:47Speaker 8: We're doing this for the kids, We're doing this to
- 1:46:49Speaker 8: save everybody from these terrible unsaved products. But we're gonna
- 1:46:53Speaker 8: give it a year before it actually goes into effect.
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: Yeah, and I understand, and you know the reasons A
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: armbells among some of my listeners. You're the gummies, for example.
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: They do look like the regular non intoxicating gummies, and
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: if you leave them out, obviously the problem is people
- 1:47:08Speaker 1: who leave them out for their kids to eat. Kids
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: might likely eat them much in the same way they
- 1:47:12Speaker 1: might drink that intoxicating cough syrup or take whatever drugs
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: you might be leave laying around on your countertop. So
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: I don't know we're going to solve that particular problem,
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: but beyond.
- 1:47:21Speaker 8: That, we're never going to solve bad parenting, right, no question,
- 1:47:26Speaker 8: you can't solve you can't. You know, you can't solve ignorance.
- 1:47:30Speaker 8: And so you know that's why I hate that argument
- 1:47:33Speaker 8: to begin with. You know that's that's not the product's fault.
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: All right, just like you know. So so as I
- 1:47:41Speaker 1: understand it, folks are interested in continue to buy Willie's
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: tincture online. They can still get it mailed to their
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: home even if they're in Ohio. They can go across
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: the river.
- 1:47:51Speaker 8: I mean, there's a hundred, one hundred websites online just
- 1:47:55Speaker 8: ship any of these products, all the products that they're
- 1:47:57Speaker 8: saying we can't sell you can easily buy online and
- 1:48:01Speaker 8: having shiftyes still federally.
- 1:48:02Speaker 5: Legal to ship over state lines.
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: M Now, will that be the case after November?
- 1:48:08Speaker 8: They're not now that that will change if that goes
- 1:48:11Speaker 8: into effect, which I will predict right now, will actually
- 1:48:14Speaker 8: they will end up putting a two year extension on that.
- 1:48:19Speaker 8: We'll see what happened.
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: Which means for two years thereafter it won't be bad
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: for us until that to year period's over.
- 1:48:25Speaker 5: That is correct, That is correct.
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: What other what else? I keep mentioning the THC beverages
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: because I saw that article or that that story last
- 1:48:33Speaker 1: out of the news. But what else is impacted by
- 1:48:35Speaker 1: the change under Centepel fifty six.
- 1:48:38Speaker 8: Well, you know, of course, you know, they want to
- 1:48:41Speaker 8: make changes to what the voters voted in for the
- 1:48:45Speaker 8: marijuana laws that that are legal now as far as
- 1:48:49Speaker 8: growing in possession and this and that, and again changing.
- 1:48:52Speaker 5: The will of the people.
- 1:48:54Speaker 8: And they're also trying to say that only the smoking
- 1:48:58Speaker 8: products can be in the dispensaries, which is again that's
- 1:49:03Speaker 8: anti consumers, and they're there's no way they're gonna be
- 1:49:06Speaker 8: able to to tell every shop in the state of
- 1:49:09Speaker 8: Ohio they can't sell rolling papers, they can't sell wraps,
- 1:49:13Speaker 8: they can't sell pipes, they can't I mean again, and
- 1:49:17Speaker 8: so every part of this, every part of this is.
- 1:49:24Speaker 5: Unconstitutional. Basically again, they can't change the definition of how.
- 1:49:29Speaker 6: They can't.
- 1:49:30Speaker 8: In my opinion, this just shows they always say, if
- 1:49:33Speaker 8: you want to change things, vote, That's how you change
- 1:49:36Speaker 8: things in America. You vote, well, we vote, and then
- 1:49:40Speaker 8: they say, no, we're gonna change what you voted on.
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: Well and to that effect, and since we're out of time,
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: beach my friend from temptations. Uh, there is a ballot
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: initiative going on. There's collecting signatures to undo the effects
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: of SB fifty six.
- 1:49:55Speaker 5: We weren't collecting signatures for that.
- 1:49:57Speaker 8: But they don't have any money and so it's gonna
- 1:49:59Speaker 8: be only the lawsuits are going to stop this.
- 1:50:02Speaker 5: And so.
- 1:50:05Speaker 8: You know, and I will again, I will continue to
- 1:50:08Speaker 8: sell federally legal products from jeans to THHCA flower.
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:50:15Speaker 8: And that's you know they did this, They did this before.
- 1:50:18Speaker 8: You know, I was kind of a national spokesman for
- 1:50:20Speaker 8: CBD because the State of Ohio in twenty eighteen said
- 1:50:24Speaker 8: you couldn't have CBD unless you got it from the dispensary.
- 1:50:30Speaker 5: You can't do that.
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: CB doesn't CD doesn't do anything except maybe benefit you
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: in some ways medically, but you can't get high on it.
- 1:50:37Speaker 1: I mean, oh no, yeah, yeah, weah. We have been
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: a protectionist world. We know that you're there to fight
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: for our rights. I know that, Beach, my friend. And

- 1:51:55Speaker 14: fifty five k SEE Deep Talk Station.
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: Hey, thirty two fifty five KRC Talk station. Very happy Wednesdays.
- 1:52:04Speaker 1: He always made extra special happy with the enlightened conversation
- 1:52:08Speaker 1: we get from Judgejennenapoulton, who's kind enough to join the
- 1:52:11Speaker 1: program every Wednesday at this time. Welcome back your honor.
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: I love talking with you man, great op ed piece today.
- 1:52:16Speaker 1: It's always great, but yours put a smile on my
- 1:52:18Speaker 1: face today. It's good to have you back on the show.
- 1:52:21Speaker 13: Well, thank you, Brian. It's good to be here. No
- 1:52:23Speaker 13: matter what nonsensical introduction Ingram wants to.
- 1:52:27Speaker 1: Offer, no question about it, you can always kind of
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: a raised eyebrow when it comes to him.
- 1:52:33Speaker 13: Can't Joe Strecker tame him?
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: No, we don't want him to be tamed. Well, we
- 1:52:38Speaker 1: give him an opportunity to make, you know, say something comical,
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: say something funny, or thoroughly embarrasses embarrass himself, which is
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: his prerogative.
- 1:52:46Speaker 12: Hey, hey, how are you, Brian?
- 1:52:48Speaker 1: I am doing fine, Thank you for asking, and I'm
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: back to work today. I have my cancer treatments last
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, and for whatever reason, that keema really
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: wipes me out on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, so my
- 1:53:00Speaker 1: third round of total of six. So I'm in that
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: mode where I got to take a couple of days off.
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: So I'm not one hundred percent, but feeling much better
- 1:53:07Speaker 1: than the last several days. And again you're in my prayers.
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:53:12Speaker 8: Man.
- 1:53:12Speaker 6: Man.
- 1:53:12Speaker 13: How is Congressman Massey doing after the President visited his
- 1:53:18Speaker 13: congressional district to tell lies about him.
- 1:53:21Speaker 1: Well, I think, you know, Congressman Massy probably about as
- 1:53:23Speaker 1: well as I do. Things like that do not phase him.
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: He's used to it. He continues to do what he
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: is doing. I think he does a great job defending
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: himself in the face of those types of criticisms, and
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: I think on some level, and my Northern Kentucky friends
- 1:53:38Speaker 1: that keep re electing him time after time, I think
- 1:53:41Speaker 1: they truly appreciate the thorn on the side that Thomas
- 1:53:43Speaker 1: Massey is generally speaking. But he is there to protect
- 1:53:47Speaker 1: the very issues you're raising in your column today. The
- 1:53:49Speaker 1: Constitution in the United States first amendments free speech of things.
- 1:53:54Speaker 1: And you know it's a tough vote sometimes, but the
- 1:53:57Speaker 1: principle behind any of his seemingly weird votes is protecting
- 1:54:01Speaker 1: the Constitution, the highest law of the land, and a
- 1:54:05Speaker 1: man who remembers his oath of office, unlike so many others, who,
- 1:54:08Speaker 1: as you point out, regularly, like to play fast and
- 1:54:10Speaker 1: loose with the supreme law of the land.
- 1:54:12Speaker 13: So I think we can we can start with the
- 1:54:16Speaker 13: chair of the Federal Communications Commission.
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: Indeed, let my remind my listeners, might I say that
- 1:54:23Speaker 1: the SEC only regulates broadcast media as distinct from newspapers,
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: cable streaming, and what might appear on the internet. FCC
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: predates even television. This equal time provision that used to
- 1:54:40Speaker 1: be in place was in an era when there were
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: only a small number of outlets, and whether or not
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: it was constitution in the first place. As your article
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: points out the great history of this and what's behind it.
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: It wasn't a statute and acted by Congress. This is
- 1:54:52Speaker 1: simply a rule pulled out of the SEC's metaphorical sphincter.
- 1:54:56Speaker 12: Correct.
- 1:54:57Speaker 13: Correct, And now he's threatening it again. So for the
- 1:55:00Speaker 13: chair of the FCC to threatned CNN, the Wall Street
- 1:55:04Speaker 13: Channel in the New York Times, and then the threat
- 1:55:07Speaker 13: was articulated in his own unique bitter way by the
- 1:55:12Speaker 13: Secretary of Defense also against CNN is absurd. But what
- 1:55:18Speaker 13: they're trying to do is to chill free speech. They
- 1:55:23Speaker 13: are trying to cause those of us who are critical
- 1:55:27Speaker 13: of the government to have pause or second thoughts before
- 1:55:31Speaker 13: we articulate our criticisms, for fear the government will come
- 1:55:35Speaker 13: down on us. The Supreme Court has condemned that chilling
- 1:55:39Speaker 13: is profoundly unconstitutional. It's the equivalent of a statute prohibiting speech,
- 1:55:45Speaker 13: the Supreme Court has written, and the government can't do it.
- 1:55:48Speaker 13: That's what they're doing, and that's what they're getting away with.
- 1:55:51Speaker 13: And that's what I attempted to expose in that article.
- 1:55:55Speaker 13: It comes out at midnight tonight.
- 1:55:57Speaker 1: Well, I guess has the the equal time will ever
- 1:56:01Speaker 1: been tested in court itself. I mean, in these modern
- 1:56:03Speaker 1: times again, all the multitude of media outlets, you have
- 1:56:07Speaker 1: something so much more than just AM and FM. You
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: have so much more than the old three channels plus
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: a local network on television. Yeah, right, countless opportunities for
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: your voice to be heard, and perhaps a biased voice.
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: But that doesn't require you to provide someone else an opportunity.
- 1:56:23Speaker 13: The equal time provision was tested in federal courts that
- 1:56:26Speaker 13: never reached the Supreme Court. It was formally abolished by
- 1:56:30Speaker 13: the FCC under the Reagan administration. Congress attempted to legislate
- 1:56:37Speaker 13: an equal time provision.
- 1:56:39Speaker 4: It passed a majority of both houses.
- 1:56:41Speaker 13: President Reagan vetoed it, and Congress failed to override its veto.
- 1:56:46Speaker 13: So that's where it is. But there are four FCC commissioners,
- 1:56:51Speaker 13: three have been appointed by President Trump. They could reconstitute
- 1:56:56Speaker 13: the equal time provision with a simple vote of the
- 1:56:58Speaker 13: three of them tomorrow. That wouldn't affect the licenses that
- 1:57:02Speaker 13: are out there. But unless it's interfered with by the courts,
- 1:57:05Speaker 13: and I think it would be for the reasons you've
- 1:57:07Speaker 13: were articulated, it would only affect new licenses, and the
- 1:57:14Speaker 13: newest licenses are not coming up until twenty twenty eight.
- 1:57:18Speaker 13: So this FCC chair is off on a bully pulpit
- 1:57:22Speaker 13: trying to scare people, and he doesn't know what he's
- 1:57:26Speaker 13: talking about, but he's trampling on free speech.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: Well, FCC was putting a place back again when we
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: only had radio to deal with. Isn't there charge related to,
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: as you point out very well in your article, broadcast media,
- 1:57:38Speaker 1: which means any argument over equal time as it relates
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: to these other forms of media newspapers, cable streaming, et cetera.
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: That would be outside of the purview of their authority,
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: would it not, And that wouldn't be not be the
- 1:57:49Speaker 1: biggest leagal, Yes it would.
- 1:57:51Speaker 13: The theory of the Communications sect of nineteen thirty four
- 1:57:55Speaker 13: was that, again there was no television at the time,
- 1:57:58Speaker 13: radio stations needed a certain bandwidth. So you went to
- 1:58:02Speaker 13: the government and you purchased that bandwidth, and by acquiring
- 1:58:06Speaker 13: that bandwidth in your area, depending upon the wattage you had,
- 1:58:10Speaker 13: nobody else could broadcast in that bandwidth. In return for
- 1:58:15Speaker 13: getting that license, you promised to be fair, not to
- 1:58:19Speaker 13: use foul words.
- 1:58:21Speaker 4: Things like that.
- 1:58:21Speaker 13: That's the origin of this going back to an entirely
- 1:58:24Speaker 13: different era in nineteen thirty four, when television came along,
- 1:58:29Speaker 13: it was the same thing. You got a certain bandwidth
- 1:58:33Speaker 13: and you made the same type of promises. And as
- 1:58:38Speaker 13: a result of this, as you say, we had the
- 1:58:41Speaker 13: three networks and one or two depending upon what kind
- 1:58:44Speaker 13: of a metropolitan area you were in, local stations. For
- 1:58:48Speaker 13: thirty years, there was no expansion, There was no creativity
- 1:58:53Speaker 13: until Ronald Reagan's people decided to let's open the free
- 1:58:57Speaker 13: market and see what happens. There's five hundred choices to
- 1:59:02Speaker 13: watch and listen to no matter where you are in
- 1:59:05Speaker 13: the United.
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: States, usually without using the band with. It gave him
- 1:59:10Speaker 1: the control over the whole thing in the first place,
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: because I know cable doesn't use a bandwidth. Correct, my
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: internet service on my phone or any place else is
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: not relying on a band with, which means it's not
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: within their authority control. This is kind of like a
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: major Questions doctrine sort of kind of.
- 1:59:26Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, but it's dangerous because the one two
- 1:59:30Speaker 13: punch of the Secretary of Defense and the chair of
- 1:59:35Speaker 13: the FCC is chilling and will make people think twice.
- 1:59:41Speaker 13: I mean, Secretary Headseth was quite specific and looked at
- 1:59:46Speaker 13: the CNN reporter who asked him a question he didn't
- 1:59:48Speaker 13: want to answer, and said, you know, things are going
- 1:59:50Speaker 13: to change once Larry Ellison takes over CNN. But that
- 1:59:53Speaker 13: is just outrageous. Why does the government fear answering questions?
- 1:59:58Speaker 13: Why does the government I want to suppress the speech
- 2:00:02Speaker 13: of its critics.
- 2:00:03Speaker 1: It's a great question, you know. And going after late
- 2:00:06Speaker 1: night television is you know, boring, offensive and politically charged?
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: I find that, Well, they're killing themselves in the ratings.
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: No one's watching anymore because the content doesn't draw viewers
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: any longer. People are up to their eyeballs with it.
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: The market forces will certainly address matters, and there's always
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: an option to get different content in a million different places,
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: as you just mentioned. Yes, yes, well I will tell you.
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: As I mentioned in my email response to you, those
- 2:00:31Speaker 1: who have asked for equal time usually kind of regret

- 2:03:48Speaker 1: Brian Smith, executive directly about the kind of historical society
- 2:03:51Speaker 1: to the extent I can't make it. Somebody please ask
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: him what his most insane story about him and Joe
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: Nufxall's antics. Maybe behind the scenes that he can remember that.
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: I mean, I can imagine that he could go on
- 2:04:02Speaker 1: for more than more than forty five minutes, and all
- 2:04:04Speaker 1: the stories he's got to tell, right.
- 2:04:08Speaker 10: You know, We've had several people when we posted out
- 2:04:10Speaker 10: there and they're like, well, I hope you tell the
- 2:04:12Speaker 10: steakhouse story. That seems to be a popular one among folks.
- 2:04:17Speaker 10: And I have to admit I'm not familiar with that.
- 2:04:19Speaker 7: Story, no am I all right?
- 2:04:22Speaker 10: So but yeah, and again I know local people were
- 2:04:25Speaker 10: excited up here in Hamilton, but because of the Joe
- 2:04:28Speaker 10: Nuxall connection, but really Southwest Ohio, anybody who could listen
- 2:04:34Speaker 10: to the radio and here and hear Marty and Joe.
- 2:04:37Speaker 10: So yeah, we would love for folks to come out
- 2:04:40Speaker 10: and experience a unique opportunity to basically hear this man
- 2:04:46Speaker 10: who has done this for so long, and is you know,
- 2:04:50Speaker 10: like I said, a local icon.
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: Right, you know what he's beyond a local icon. I
- 2:04:54Speaker 1: was just telling Joe Strecker, I can't remember the series
- 2:04:56Speaker 1: I was watching David Involves a sports broadcast, Marty brennaman
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: name came up and this this Netflix or Hulu series
- 2:05:05Speaker 1: or whatever I was watching. I thought that was hilarious.
- 2:05:07Speaker 1: That was just a couple of days ago. Like, hey,
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: that's great. Everybody knows martin front of him, right, And.
- 2:05:13Speaker 10: Well, you know, I'm putting I'm putting the slideshow to
- 2:05:15Speaker 10: get there, the pre show slide show. We'll have a
- 2:05:18Speaker 10: scrolling as folks are coming in, and yeah, the amount
- 2:05:22Speaker 10: of photos with with other celebrities and other you know,
- 2:05:25Speaker 10: sports figures obviously being in the business and players from
- 2:05:28Speaker 10: all these other teams, but but you know, just uh
- 2:05:32Speaker 10: photos of him and other Hall of Fame broadcasters and
- 2:05:36Speaker 10: you know, and things like that. And you know, I
- 2:05:38Speaker 10: think we were lucky that we had some really great
- 2:05:40Speaker 10: baseball teams here in the past with the Reds and uh,
- 2:05:43Speaker 10: you know, those those personalities, you know, also have some
- 2:05:47Speaker 10: some national reach, you know, as far as the Big
- 2:05:49Speaker 10: Red Machine and things like that in the nineteen ninety
- 2:05:51Speaker 10: team as well. So yeah, there's there's a lot of
- 2:05:55Speaker 10: there's it's a it's almost two things, too many things
- 2:05:57Speaker 10: to cover in one night, but we'll try our best
- 2:06:00Speaker 10: to get what we can in.
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: I'm sure you will. And again I'll just remind my
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: listeners and this information to be on my blog page.
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: Fifty five KRC dot com Saturday March twenty eighth, seven
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: thirty pm at the Ross Senior High School Performing Arts Center.
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: Ticketed event. As Brian pointed out, so make sure you
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: got yourself covered on that. It's b C Historicalsociety dot com,
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: public on of Historical Society dot com, BC Historical Society anyway,
- 2:06:23Speaker 1: that link will be up there. It's part of a
- 2:06:25Speaker 1: this is one of a larger series. I understand, Brian,
- 2:06:29Speaker 1: the Tune into History Tour. Am I right on that?
- 2:06:32Speaker 7: Yes?
- 2:06:33Speaker 10: Yes, So as I mentioned earlier, so we we set
- 2:06:36Speaker 10: up three events for this year, and it was kind
- 2:06:38Speaker 10: of in conjunction with the with the America two fifty.
- 2:06:41Speaker 10: We're trying to tie in everything we do is for this,
- 2:06:44Speaker 10: you know, this renewal of interest in history, to celebrate this,
- 2:06:48Speaker 10: this this special year. So we basically picked three that
- 2:06:53Speaker 10: we found three different organizations.
- 2:06:55Speaker 2: So we have Marty and March in in June, We're
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: going to have a ninety seven X Rock and Roll
- 2:07:03Speaker 2: Retro reunion with about six to eight former DJs and
- 2:07:07Speaker 2: staff members of Why ninety seven X out of Oxford,
- 2:07:12Speaker 2: which is one of the early alternative rock stations.
- 2:07:16Speaker 10: We'll do that in June twenty seventh. That'll be up
- 2:07:20Speaker 10: in Oxford, and then in September September twelfth, we will
- 2:07:24Speaker 10: have a live recording of award winning podcasters Amber Hunt
- 2:07:29Speaker 10: and Amanda Rossman, who did a series called The Accused.
- 2:07:33Speaker 10: She's they're both former Cincinnati Inquirer investigative reporters and videographers,
- 2:07:39Speaker 10: and so we'll have them that'll be doing a live
- 2:07:41Speaker 10: recording of an upcoming episode of their current podcast, Crimes
- 2:07:45Speaker 10: of the Centuries, and that venue is still in the works,
- 2:07:51Speaker 10: so that'll be that's in September.
- 2:07:53Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: Well, Brian Smith, Executive Doctor, the Betal kind of Historical
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: Society will certainly give you an opportunity here in the
- 2:07:57Speaker 1: fifty five KRC morning shows. Read the word about those
- 2:07:59Speaker 1: when they get closer, so remember us and we'll help
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: remind folks that those are going on happy to do it.
- 2:08:05Speaker 1: Outstanding idea, whose idea was this? Thee this whole tune
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: into history tour and behind the scenes is going to
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: give them credit that you.
- 2:08:14Speaker 10: So well I guess I'll pat myself on the back
- 2:08:17Speaker 10: of it now. You know, we kind of we put
- 2:08:20Speaker 10: these three things together and then after we had them,
- 2:08:22Speaker 10: we went there's actually a tie. They all have to
- 2:08:25Speaker 10: do with with broadcasting or radio, so we we kind
- 2:08:30Speaker 10: of just then wrapped it around in that. So and
- 2:08:32Speaker 10: again this is a series that we hope to continue
- 2:08:34Speaker 10: in the future, you know, with those kinds of things.
- 2:08:37Speaker 10: And again the idea was, instead of everybody coming to
- 2:08:39Speaker 10: us at our facility, we are going to go out
- 2:08:43Speaker 10: to other places around the county kind of to spread
- 2:08:45Speaker 10: the love since we are the County Historical Society, you know,
- 2:08:48Speaker 10: and get things out the communities that support us, so
- 2:08:52Speaker 10: we wanted to kind of give back to them as
- 2:08:54Speaker 10: well well.
- 2:08:55Speaker 1: And you got three of them lined up so far.
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: And you know, as we're talking talk about the history
- 2:09:00Speaker 1: in this area that I mean radio alone, we get
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: the Broadcast Hall of Fame up there, Voice of America Park,
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: which is just awesome. If you haven't been there, it's
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: worth going to. But how many more of these tune
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: into History Tour series? Could you come up with a
- 2:09:13Speaker 1: seemingly endless, endless list, Joe Jucker says, get Rob Ryder
- 2:09:18Speaker 1: out there.
- 2:09:21Speaker 10: You're absolutely you know, it's it's and we kind of
- 2:09:27Speaker 10: it was a spur of the moment thing again, and
- 2:09:29Speaker 10: but yeah, we we've kind of looked at this and said,
- 2:09:31Speaker 10: you know, you're right, there's a lot of different things
- 2:09:33Speaker 10: that you know, I can go on and and we're
- 2:09:35Speaker 10: trying to expand it, you know, more of you know,
- 2:09:38Speaker 10: usually our programming deals with Butler County mostly. Yeah, we
- 2:09:42Speaker 10: do a we do a monthly speaker series that's been
- 2:09:46Speaker 10: selling out for about the last year and a half
- 2:09:48Speaker 10: to two years. Matter of fact, you mentioned VOA Jack Dominick,
- 2:09:51Speaker 10: who is the executive director of the museum up there.
- 2:09:54Speaker 10: He's going to be speaking for us in April great
- 2:09:57Speaker 10: on the history on the history of the VOA at
- 2:10:00Speaker 10: our place. So yeah, there are so many personalities, you know,
- 2:10:04Speaker 10: and again with you know, with WLW and WLWT and
- 2:10:08Speaker 10: and you know the cross Leads. I mean, there's just
- 2:10:11Speaker 10: such a rich broadcasting history in this area, and so
- 2:10:16Speaker 10: many personalities have come out of the Cincinnati area and
- 2:10:20Speaker 10: gone off to bigger and better national things. Uh, you know,
- 2:10:24Speaker 10: so or Or.
- 2:10:26Speaker 1: And my my lay father who chose not to pursue
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: something bigger and more more potentially challenging. He he chose
- 2:10:33Speaker 1: to stay here because of his love for the city
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. So forty six plus yres I rad It,
- 2:10:39Speaker 1: Judge Jacker screened My Head and fifty five KR seats.
- 2:10:41Speaker 1: See you left it off the list. That's okay, Brian,
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: just a little bit of hard.
- 2:10:44Speaker 7: Time, that's all right, but I'm sorry.
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: I want to shout and thanks the Butler Cut of
- 2:10:48Speaker 1: Historical Society for doing this. And even with Barney, Marty
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: Breunnman and the other turned into Tuned into History tours,
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: We'll look for more down the road. And again you
- 2:10:54Speaker 1: got an opportunity here, Brian, to spread the word on
- 2:10:56Speaker 1: those so look forward to having you back on and
- 2:10:58Speaker 1: best luck on the unex spending on this awesome idea.
