  Speaker 3: if I cared about you, I would ask you, But

  Speaker 3: I don't care about your opinion. Well, you're part of

  Speaker 3: the system, You're part of the problem. You've been sitting

• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Did he stutter?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: No, I was the eye as a little choppy. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: tried to fix it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So happy, so happy to see somebody fight. Bernie Sanders
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: gets away with far too much because he's like the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: elder statesman of the lefty crazies, so he gets to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: say anything he wants to say, basically, and nobody argues
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: with him. I was so happy to see this man.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Senator Mullen United States Senator Mullen of Oklahoma just turn
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: around and told me, I don't care what you have
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to say. You've been here longer than I've been alive.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I think that was the same guy with the UH
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: who is the union president said something to him and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: he was like, oh, you want to step outside, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Mullins was like okay, and he started to get that's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the same dude.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I love the guy. Don't again, don't know anything about
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: him aside from what's on his UH his official website.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Never heard his name before now, But to stand up
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to Bernie Sanders and find that guy is he is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He is the epitome the poster child of the socialist mentality.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: He is one of the elite. Therefore he gets to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: have you know, private security and three homes so he can,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: depending on what the weather is like, he can move around.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He gets the limousines and you know, the free meals
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and the lobbyist buying him stuff. He gets all that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But you, you lousy peon, you are part of the worker
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: class and you will do what he says while he
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: lives his life. That that, in a nutshell is the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: socialist agenda. That's how they live. Every time you saw
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Fidel Castro, he might have been wearing army fatigues and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: looking like Trust me, Fidel lived well as as his
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: brother after him. Socialist leaders get what they want, while
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the peons, the working class, supply what they need. Do
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you remember in the Matrix, the first matrix, when they
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: discovered that those bodies were all being held in tanks
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and they were basically just energy to feed the machine. Yes,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that's socialism right there. That's it. You are a body
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in a tank. Was that the matrix determinator might have
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: been in both max Okay, that that is it. You
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: are a body in a tank. You your work, your effort.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Your productivity is sucked out of you and fed to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the machine, and the machine lives large while you trudge
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: along from one day to the next, hoping that you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: can afford gasoline for your government approved car to go
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: do your government approved job so you can return home
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to your government approved housing and raise your number of
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: government approved children. That's socialism. Sure, we'll give you health
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: care as we define care. We'll give you a retirement
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: as we define retirement, and we, the elite class, will
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: live large. Senator Mullen, bless you for shutting down this
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: crazy old man. He'll be back again to rave tomorrow.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But at least for that moment in time, somebody did
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: what needed to be done. And I'm proud of this guy.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Never met him, don't know him, but I'm glad he is.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: He is in Washington, d C. Representing some common sense
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: American people. You you are not? You said you remember
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: him saying he'd go outside with the union guy. Was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that the bald union guy that spoke at the Republican Convention?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think it was. I think it was him
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: because they had a little spat.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: In the He was the president of the the International
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Teamsters Union. Right. And we haven't heard anything from him
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: since the convention. Really, he's been very quiet.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's not Bernie. He doesn't have the fanfare
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and the popular ideology is Bernie has and the right
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: ideology that Bernie.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Said, Are you just trying to get people to hate you?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Just trying to get you.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, okay, speaking of socialism and the machine,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: living off of your your efforts and your productivity and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: using what they want out of you here in the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: city of Columbus the State of Ohio. Lawyers representing the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: State of Ohio want a loss over the states unclaimed
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: funds thrown out. Lawsuit was filed last year on behalf
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of several Ohioans, and state lawmakers approved moving at least
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: one point seven billion dollars in unclaimed funds to a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: newly created fund for sports facilities, including six hundred million
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: dollars for a new Cleveland Brown Stadium. The state was
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: set to take custody of the money January first, but
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a Franklin County judge blocked that with a timporary restraining
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: order on December twenty third. The money includes old bank accounts,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: utility bills along with the uncast checks insurance policies, let
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: me see here and more than get turned over to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the Division unclaim funds in the Ohio Department of Commerce.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: The lawsuit filed for by Attorney dot Mark Dan argued
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the Ohio Constitution doesn't allow the state to seize these
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: funds now. As I said back then, as I say
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: right now, you're forcing me to be on the same
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: team as Mark Dan. If you don't know anything about
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Mark Dan. Google is a wonderful tool, Kay. He is.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: He's Democrat leadership, he is, he is. You know, he's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: as left as anybody else in the state of Ohio.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: But in this instance, in this case, I am completely
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: on his side. I don't know if he took this
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: lawsuit up as a matter of principle or just to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: get a check. I have no idea, But I'm still
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I'm rooting for it because what he contends is absolutely right. Right,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: That's absolutely right. United States Supreme Court, the story on
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: WSYX website continues, has repeatedly affirmed states rights not only
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to take custody of abandoned property for the benefit of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: property owners, but also, after a period of time, to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: take ownership of the property. According to the motion that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: was filed this week in Franklin County Common Please Court
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: under a new twenty twenty five law. Now see here's here,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: here's where they're sneaking up on you people. Under a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: new twenty twenty five law, ohioan's have ten years to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: claim money that is reported to the Division of Unclaimed
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Funds before the funds would be used for cultural venues
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: or sports stadiums. To this point, and when this idea
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: first came up, I pulled it up online to make
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: sure I was reading the correct language. To this point,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: that money was being held by the state indefinitely. There
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: was no cutoff, because after all, it's not their money.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They are forcing businesses to deposit the unclaimed funds with them.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: That's the first problem. By law, these banks, and you
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: know you had some shares of stock, or you had
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a rent deposit or whatever. They are compelled by law.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: If they cannot give that money to you, get that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: money to you. You moved away, they don't know where
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you moved whatever. They are compelled to turn that money
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: over to the Unclaimed Funds. And it was to be
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: your money until you or members of your state or
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: whatever came along and claimed it now as of twenty
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: twenty five, they have put a ten year rule in there,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: so they're going to force the money to be turned
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: over to them and then after ten years they get
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to use it for what they want. This is BS,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: This is BS, Governor DeWine. Absolutely, it's not your money.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Can I make it any plainer than that? It is
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: not your money? And when you are forcing these organizations
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that have the funds to turn them over to you
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: for safe keeping, this whole argument gets even more self
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: serving and convoluted. Or maybe that's just me.
