  Speaker 1: It is a very happy Friday my perspective, anyway, I'm
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: always good in a good mood on a Friday, and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: always had a good mood.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: When there he is.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Jack Windsor from the High Press Network joins a program
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: every week at this time we try to get Jack
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Winsor on. You can find him online at the Ohio
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Pressnetwork dot com and I'll encourage you bookmark that site.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Jack Windsor. It's good to have you on
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the program, and good to see you. I can see you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good to be on with you. It's always
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: an honor and a pleasure. Thanks for choosing me.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Oh no, it's fun having a conversation with you. You really
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: do pay very close attention and you're you know, you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: got excellent comments and a student observations on things going
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: on in around Ohio. And I'm going to throw you
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a curb. I know we're gonna
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: be talking about the rank choice voting the other day,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: which was a great outcome. And people don't understand, obviously
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the supremacy clause in various states trying to prohibit ice
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: coming into their neighborhoods, because it's the problem with that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati. But first, I know you're
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a huge fan of giving the Cleveland brown six hundred
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: million dollars for their stadium. You see all the people
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: putting their hand in the unclaimed funds cookie jar now
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: or at least trying to jack.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, And you know that's the thing. Once you
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: open that door, everybody wants to walk in. And I
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: say jokingly, but part of me means it. The Cleveland
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Browns might I don't know, they might deliver some sort
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: of public service. But I look at what you and
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I do, Brian, and what we do I think is
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: more important for equipping voters to fulfill their civic duty.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Why don't we get a few million dollars?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: That's me right, I was asking that question loud, all right,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: because the reality, as we all know this, of course
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I said it a few times this morning, the asks
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: from government are always unlimited. The finite of the reality
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is a finite amount of money. So what would you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: spend a billion dollars on if you were in charge
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of the money. And the last thing on my list
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: would be anything related to sports complexes, especially when you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: got folks like the Cleveland brown multi multi millionaires. They're
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: supposed to make a profit. It's a going concern. It's
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a business worth billions of dollars. Okay, we had a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: listener call in just to your point. He said, I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: seven years old, and you know I'm feeling I got
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: paying blah blah blah blah blah. His warranty is up,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: he said, I think I deserve the money. How about
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a weakened week end warrior fund for those people who
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: become exhausted from their day to day living and earning
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: their whole life. How about kicking back a little.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Bit to that?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, listen, there are valid arguments if the Cleveland Browns
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: get money. There are many many people who would have
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: an extremely valid argument to the common man why they
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: should get money.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: And the last thing I will say is.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: This, if you listen to or read anything in the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: investment world, they'll tell you that past performance is no
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: indication of future performance, but you ought to pay attention
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to what the past performance is. Well, the Cleveland Browns
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: are just an abysmal, losing organization. Why would I want
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: to assist the Cleveland brownsing By the way, I grew
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: up a Cleveland Browns fan. I just don't think they
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: have any any right putting their hand in the cookie jar.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Well, regardless of how they play, because there's no guarantee.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: You know, the world's an imperfect place. Screws fall out
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and top rank five hundred million dollar contract quarterbacks do
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: get injured. You got no control over.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: That, true, but yeah, just don't get a massage when
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you get hurt, right, right, if you're a Browns quarterback.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But the more fundamental question is, let's look at past performance.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: How much money, for example, did the Cleveland Browns actually
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: generate as a consequence of any given football game being played?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Can you really put that on paper? Is it really
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: worth as much money as they're planning on spending the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars on? Is there an ROI? I would argue
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: probably not no.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: And in fact, there are people who are a lot
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: smarter than me that have done the analysis here.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: And it's always the marketing plan.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: The voters get the marketing plan, but when you look
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: at the operational plan, the ROI, the promises they're never fulfilled.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: This is an ongoing issue yet for some reason, lawmakers
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: people in power here in the Buckeye State, most recently,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: they buy it hook line and sinker they do.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: The Ohio Pressnetwork dot Com are going to continue with
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Jack Winsor. Good congratulates in the Ohio House doing something
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: right passing amended Centate Bill sixty three banning ranked choice voting.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Jack wins are on that and will also get a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: word or two on well the supremacy class with bands
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: on ice, don't go away.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I'd be right back with Jack.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Fifty five krc Your financial goals are you from fifty
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: five KRFC the talk facial, Hey, forty fIF you have
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: KRCD talk station the Ohio Pressnetwork dot Com. That's why
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we find Jack Winsor is excellent reporting on things going
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on around Ohio. Real quick, Jack, I know you can
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: see me, and you maybe saw me laughing. You probably
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: love Joe Labbing. Just one more comment on the Ohio
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Sports Facility grant program. Everybody's putting their name in the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: ring to get some money out of it. One of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the ones I highlighted earlier this morning and made the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: comment about Faith Baptist Church in Shelby County's looking for
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: three quarters I'm sorry looking for yeah, three quarters of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a million dollars for the construction of the Kingdom Sports Complex,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: described as an indoor sports facility. I said, I guess
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you know that's in honor of all the sports that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Jesus played, and you remember reading in the Bible about that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I was saying, maybe he was at La crosse player
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: or something, but Joe pointed out, no water polo. Because
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: he did so, I said, Joe, create a meme. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: this is I was cracking up because Joe sent me
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the chat GPT created meme and it's Jesus walking on
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: water with the water ball of his All the other
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: apostles and disciples are in the water saying, hey, hey,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: come on, that's unfair. So levity on a Friday. Hey,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I hear he was quite the carpenter. He
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: might put Louisville slugger out of business. I would say
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that he you know what, you just qualified him for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the to make a claim to the fund. Congratulations, Jack,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: where do you go? That's why I appreciate your joining
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: in the fun on a Friday. Here. Now, pivoting over
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: rank choice voting is no longer lawful in the state
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of Ohio, tell us about Senate Bill sixty three and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the vote in the House yesterday or the other day.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there was a vote in the House sixty
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: three to twenty seven to pass an amended version of
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Senate Built sixty three. Now it does have to go
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: back unless it happened yesterday, back to the Senate quickly
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: where it will get passed very very quickly. But the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: House puts something in it that would require anyone who
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: requests a ranked choice ballot that that information would be
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: made public. They wanted to make sure that if anyone
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: was trying to do this that they were exposed. But
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: what the bill will do is it will outlaw ranked
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: choice voting.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: And you go, well, why is that?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Well, because proponents argue it's about ensuring election integrity, fair elections,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: and protecting democracy. It's what the left likes to say
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: from what they see as confusing or manipulative voting tactics.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Now it is it's more than one person, one vote, right.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: That was the mantra we heard a couple of years ago.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: That's the simple explanation. The more complex explanation is that
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: ranked choice voting let's voters ranked candidates in order of
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: preference rather than making one choice, and if no candidate
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: in the election receives more than fifty percent, the lowest
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: vote getter is eliminated, and then when those votes are
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: redistributed until a majority is reached. And this has created
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: chaos confusion wherever it has been done. And I reminded
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: our readers in the story that this was done in
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Ohio in the early nineteen hundreds through the nineteen fifties,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and the places that tried it, they eventually walked away
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: from it. And it looks like it will then be
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: back in place where ranked choice voting is not only
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: not the preferred voting method, but it would be outlawed.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Now you go, does it have teeth? Yes?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: The local government fund would be withheld from any municipality
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: or chartered county that tries to use ranked choice voting.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, the financial penalty goes along with it. Yeah, well
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that's you know, carrots and penalties. You accept the money
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to your own peril, or you don't take the money
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of your own peril. Either way, it reminds me of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the extortion that was lovied on Ohio back when I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was I guess I was already grandfathered in when the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: thinking age was changed, the federal withheld our highway funds
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: unless we voted to increase the drinking age of twenty one.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: That's extortion.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But they've got the money and they have control over
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: where it goes and how it's spent, so they can
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: put those kind of strings attached.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I guess yeah they can.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: And you know, one of the arguments was that this
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: violates Ohio's constitution with respect to local control or local rule,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: and opponents quickly point out that no, the legislature has
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the right to regulate elections here in the Buckeye State.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: The other misnomer that's being argued is that it would
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: disenfranchise voters and it would allow what we would consider
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: mud slinging and campaigns to continue. Opponents say that those
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: two things would be addressed, but unfortunately for them, there
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: was a study at the University of Minnesota in two
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: thousand and three that said rank choice voting does not
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: reduce negative campaigning polarization and does not boost voter turnout
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: or the diversity of winners. So the arguments that detractors
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: are making really just don't hold up when you look
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: at the facts.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Well, given the claim that it violates a House constitution.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I trust that at some point someone's going to file
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a lawsuit claiming that the act isn't in itself unconstitutional.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, And in fact, I had Marcel Sturbige on this
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: show yesterday.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I invited Robert Sprague.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: He has not returned my calls, but Marcel came on
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: and said, one of the challenges with this law is
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: that it will be contested and it may be found
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: that withholding money is not legal, and so that may
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: take the teeth out of it, and then all of
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: a sudden, you've codified rank choice voting. So his argument
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: is this needs to be a constitutional amendment where it's
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: no longer negotiable.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, we'll continue with Jack Windsor and hear about
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the failure to understand the supremacy clause. Here in Ohio
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: it Talk Station krc DE Talk Station by Thomas right here,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: wishing everyone a very happy Friday.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Put a smile on your face. Jeez, say it to yourself.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Jack Windsor, what a wonderful world in the Jack Wins
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: from the how Press Network. On the program, we're gonna
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: dive on into, uh, well, the supremacy clause specifically, I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: guess city a Columbus city council doesn't understand the constitution
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: or its workings. But real quick, here in your honor, Jack,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Judge Drecker made a meme of Jesus putting Louisville Slugger
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: out of business. He said he would send it to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you later on this later in the day. So we
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: got one more. Anyway, Let's go to the Columbus City
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Council passing an ordinance to restrict ICE agents. Looks like
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Jack froze up. You there, we got it. We have
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a technical difficulty, Joe Air, are you back.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: I'm here, I'm here, Sorry about that.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: That's all right, all right, club City council, City of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Cincinna is doing something along these same lines.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about this, Jack.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty disturbing. So city council here in Columbus
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: pass some ordinances to bar Columbus police from entering agreements
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: with ICE, to carry out federal immigration work, to prohibit
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: city employees from taking second jobs with ICE, to require
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: a special use permit for any detention centers, a step
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: that effectively blocks new facilities to forbid ICE from using
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: city parking lots. Garages vacant land for operations without out
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: a judge's warrant to make it a first degree misdemeanor
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: punishable by up to three days in jail on one
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars fine to harassed, stalk, or obstruct people at
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: schools or daycare centers, so on and so forth. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: so the city council is doing exactly what the mayor
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: here Andrew Ginther, is doing, which is they're continuing to
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: posture and let everyone know that they do not want
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to play nice with ICE agents, and it goes to
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: the heart of what you're talking about, Brian. Unfortunately for
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: city council, I don't know how many of them have read.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: The United States Constitution.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Because the President has full prerogative to enforce laws.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: On the books.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: That means that ICE agents, border patrol agents, homeland security
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: investigators can do exactly what they are doing. And if
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: localities want to push back, too bad, because immigration is
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: the express or the express authority in creating immigration laws
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: and practices resides with the federal government. So there's really
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: no reason that I think they're doing this, Brian, other
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: than just political posturing.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, state judges must follow federal law. And conflicts arise
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: with state laws or constitution, so boom, those obviously were
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: designed to conflict with federal law.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Yes one, and so I think again, Like many people
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: on the left, these folks are trying to appeal to
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: their extreme left voters, doing the dog and pony show.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Eventually this will get tossed out, it will be found unenforceable,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: but they can go back to their voting base and
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: go see, see we pushed back against the.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Bad guys, virtue signaling, Hey we tried, those evil Republicans.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't let us do it?
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Dan?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Pivoting over Jack windsor just general reaction. I know opinions
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: are like sphincters. We've all got one, but just curious
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: to know your reaction to the State of the Union address?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Have everything in it you wanted? Was it missing something?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: One of the things that was missing for me was,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you know, a profound comment on the state, the grave
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: state we're in with regard to the national debt. Donald
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Trump no deficit hawk, So we got that as a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: genuine problem, But beyond that, I thought it was pretty
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: damn good.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: My thirty thousand foot analysis. Brian, I hate to be
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: this guy because I get accused of being, you know,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: a Trump boot licker, and I'm not. I think it's
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: one of the best speeches he's ever given. He covered
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the economy, the border, energy, foreign policy, government efficiency. He
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: did an incredible job of honoring heroic Americans, and I
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: think I felt more like an American and after watching
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: that speech than I have any other State of the
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Union address in my recent memory. And the thing that
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Trump did that he doesn't often do is he stayed
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: on target.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: And when he did make those off the cuff comments,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: they were gold. When he said these people are crazy,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: everybody in the country that has a fair mind kind
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: of went, you know, they are kind of right he is.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You know, that's I guess something else I completely agree
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: with you about.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Jack.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I was worried, you know, I woke up in the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: morning he said the longest presidential address in the history,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and like, I hadn't read it yet. I didn't get
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to watch it because I got to bed at eight pm.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I gotta get up at two thirty. But
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: when I read it, I was so pleased to know,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in spite of the length, that he really stayed on message.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: You could read the topic here it comes boom on
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: this blah blah blah, blah blah blah, on this blah
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: blah blah. And I think he hit all the major
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: topics and certainly highlighted the accomplishments of the first year.
• 14:57
