• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Tom's Awastowski The Return of Weed and People Convention Tom's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Awastowski seven thirty on a Tuesday Today, Conservatives have to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: get out and vote. Stating the obvious, we'll talk with
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Tom about the importance of that. You really do need
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to get out and vote. You're going to have some
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: tax levies to vote on. My friends in Hamilton County, Yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Children's Services levy. They're going to put a tax levey
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: on for that one property tax, and then these cities
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati School Board rescinded the income tax levee and have
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: approved a property tax to the November ballot, defeating my predictions,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: which is they're going to hold off on asking for
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: these levees until an off cycle election when their people
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: will come out and vote. Nobody else will. Going back
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to Tom z Awastowski, we have to get out and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: vote November. Now you've got a reason to get out
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and vote. Do you want your taxes to go up
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: or do you want to reject the request for levees.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: There's gonna be some complications if the levees are shot down,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: at least according to our elected officials. Get to that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: in the moment. But also with Tom's Alastawski seven thirty v.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Saga of a high representative, Max Miller, who's married to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Bernie Marina's daughter or at least during the middle of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a heated divorce, and he has been accused of domestic
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: abuse by Bernie Marino's daughter, Emily. Allegations also involve his
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: young daughter Hmm. They claim some the allegation suggests Miller
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: pointed a gun that Emily's head threw against the wallport
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: hot water over fractured or two year old's daughter's kyler
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: bone at least maybe did swirling allegations which he's denied.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's the middle of a heated divorce. I don't know
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: who to believe on this one. I did work in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: domestic relations court for quite some time when I was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a young man, back in the old days, when it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: was at the Hamilton County Courthouse, fourth floor. Remember Judge
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Paneota loved that man. He was a great guy. Enjoyed
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: working there. I learned a lot, and of course I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: really think that went a long way to me deciding
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to become a lawyer, although I did have a really
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: defeated attitude when it came to the institution of marriage.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You work in domestic relations long enough you think every
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: marriage is going to fail. And you also appreciate the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: fact that in domestic relations cases the husbands and wives
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: soon to be divorced basically hate each other for some reason.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Everything becomes a shouting match, and then the kids are
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: brought into the equation and all we're gonna have a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: custody battle, and every single thing is brought and elevated
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to this horrific allegations against each other. It just it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: devolves into this awful situation where the per people being
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: harmed the most are the children. So time and time
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and time again, what people will do to their children
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in the name of I don't know, exacting a pound
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of flesh out of the person who soon will be
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: their ex spouse, someone that they have pledged to love,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: honor and cherish until death. Yeah, it doesn't work out
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that way, does it. How children have brought into this
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is beyond me. But also the idea that allegations can
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: get elevated and blown out of proportion, he said, She said,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And the fog of divorce really is a problem. So
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on between these two. Bernie
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Morena's chimed in, and of course, since it involves his daughter,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he said, I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: help to end the clear pattern of abuse he's left
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in his wake. I believe he should not be free
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to continue in dangering others until he does. He is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: every minute he has custody of my granddaughter. If there
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: House of Representatives clothes quote Bernie Moreno, Well, I guess
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: we know how Bernie feels about it, obviously, as a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: father might do siding with his daughter. I'm not taking
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: sides on it. I'm not in the middle of that divorce.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to put a sense of reality over it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: When you're dealing with a heated divorce and the spouse
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is as soon to be ex spouses seem to hate
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: each other, you might want to just put a little
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: question mark over swirling allegations. Toms Alistowski's gonna shed some
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: light on it. I don't know if he has the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: answer to the question either. Inside Scoop it is Tuesday,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be inside scoop A bright bar news today,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the return of the firearms Expert A. W. R. Hawkins.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: That's right, who is going to chime in on soft
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: on crime doesn't pay? And of course the whole idea
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of good guys with guns can indeed say the day.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And we saw that at the in and out Burger shooting.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We had one citizen with a firearm who actually gone
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to the range and trained quite a bit. He was
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: ready to go. When a crazed gunman starts unloading on
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the public, a good person with a firearm can go
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a long way to saving lives. And the police are
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: crediting this man, yep, crediting him because he started firing
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: at the crazed gunman and it freaked the gunman out.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: It's amazing what happens. The guy retreated. He could have
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: unloaded more rounds on the public. There, So good guys
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: with guns and aw R. Hawkins is going to be
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: talking about that smart thing to well be trained and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to have a firearm. Just second Amendment right, it's there
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for a reason. You can protect yourself, you can protect
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: your family, and of course you can protect the public.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So Inside Schood with AWR. Hawkins eight to five, followed
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: by the Daniel Davis deep dive wash rints repeat. Did
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the Iranians even have a conversation with Donald Trump? Seems
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to be some swirling question marks over whether or not
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: there's actually a conversation communicating between the two. Donald Trump
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: came out the other day and said, we're sitting down,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: we're talking. I'm gonna hold off the biggest bombing campaign
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: since World War two because the Iranians have reached out
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to me. The Iranians say, wait a second, no, we didn't.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Theron says, no talks with the United States period. They
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: said yesterday there were not any talks underway with the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: United States, nor were there any meeting plans. This after
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump said he called off that strike because he
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: wanted to give more time for negotiations because the well,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the leaders of the various Arab countries in the neighborhood
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: also said please don't start bombing because they're going to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: get the brunt of the Iranian response. Of course, that's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: what they've been feeling. Iran's Foreign ministry spokesperson Smail Bid
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, apparently rejected Trump's suggestion that talks were underway,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: said Iran hasn't seen any delegates or negotiations, hasn't sent
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: rather any delegations or negotiation to take part in any discussions.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Ministry spokesperson said all of the Iran's negotiators were in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the country still, with the exception of Foreign Minister Abbas Aragachi,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: who was visiting a religious site in Iraq huhd Or yesterday.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: In a social media post, Trump describes Iran's leadership as
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: unbelievably duplicitous, saying that they had asked for talks on
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: ending the war and then announced that no discussions were
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: being held. What in the hell's going on here? Is
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump being played by the Iranians? Is that a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: legitimate question to ask? I mean, you can draw your
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: own personal conclusions on how this looks for Donald Trump
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: on a global stage. But on again, off again, on again,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: off again, we're gonna bomb, We're not gonna bomb. We're
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: gonna bomb, We're not gonna bomb. We're talking, We're making
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: stride stward peace. Iridians come out in the same day
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and say, wait a second, we don't know what he's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: talking about. Not a good look, a state of disarray.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Some are suggesting, so Donald a new day inside Scoop
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: rather Daniel Davis deep dive on the Iranian system situation
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: at eight thirty. Remember at fifty five KRC dot iHeart
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: dot com. Get your podcasts when you can't listen live,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: like for example, Christopher Smitheman yesterday, you still have an
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: opportunity to sign the petition. That link is on my
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: blog page fifty five KRC dot co. You're a resident
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of the City of Cincinnati. Not only will you be
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: voting to maybe increase your taxes in November, you also
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: maybe have an opportunity to vote on the petition if
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it gets enough signatures, which then will require, if passed,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: council members to chime in on and have a say
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: in hiring and firing of police and fire chiefs. Which
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: is a good idea for the taxpayers of the City
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. Since more money, more and more money is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: being asked of you, you might some want some accountability
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: because the decisions of the city manager unilaterally deciding to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: hire and firefolks obviously have some significant financial repercussions for
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati. Former fire Chief Washington, for example,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: is sitting around waiting for a giant paycheck to be
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: written because he was wrongfully terminated at least according to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a court hearing or a court ruling. That's a check
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that's going to be written. Police Chief Fiji next in line.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: How about getting council involved to stop knee jerk reactions
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and wrongful termination lawsuits? Great idea, sign a petition. You
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: can do that, Jim and Jackson. The River's one location
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: where that is, but you can find all that information
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: on my blog page fifty five KRC dot com, along
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: with the conversation I had with Christopher Smithaman yesterday violent
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: weekend question mark, where's AFTAB taxes are on the rise?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's your vote. We'll talk a little bit about that,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: some new developments in the tax situation Hamilton County and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati, among other topics. Feel free to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: call me though five one three, seven four nine fifty
• 11:24

• 11:34
  Speaker 1: an iHeartRadio station on a Tuesday and a happy one.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Tell you five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two to three talk Go town five
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: fifty on eighteen T phones and come to listener to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: lunch tomorrow. It's gonna be a high grain brewery the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Brentwood location, So there's two high grain breweries. We've been
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to the Brentwood location before, we're doing it again. It's great,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: great spot and I certainly look forward to seeing the listeners.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Every listener lunch, great opportunity for fellowship, and good morning
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to my buddy Steve retired ex militaries, and he said
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he's going to be there. It's always good to hear that. Anyway,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: how many kindy commissioners voted yesterday they're going to put
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: an increased Children's services levy on the November ballot. It's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a property tax levee. The current levee passed back in
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one generates they say, eighty one million dollars
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: every year, but it expires at the end of the year.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That current levee, which expires cost you eight hundred and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: eighty one dollars. Rather for every one hundred thousand dollars value.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: The dovey that was approved yesterday will generate one hundred
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and twenty one bucks for every one hundred thousand, so
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it's more. Commissioner Jery House and Dumas voted yes. I'll
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: be a rather leasherie abstained from the vote. So anyway
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: it passed. It will generate one hundred and seventeen million
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: dollars annually. Reese, for her part, proposed an alternative plan
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that would have raised the levee but only ten percent,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: using a portion of the stadium sales tax rev to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: help close the funding gap. But however, the other two
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: commissioners didn't support that. So welcome to a property tax
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: levy one hundred and twenty one per one hundred thousand.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And they say there's going to be a catastrophe if
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: it doesn't pass, because there'll be no money left. The
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Tax Levy Review Commission, there is one of those recommended
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a seventy one percent increase. The commissioner said no, no, no,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that's too high. Drie House said, the thirty eight percent increase,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: which is what they voted on yesterday, about half what
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the Tax Levy Review Commission asked for, strikes the necessary balance.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: She said. What it does create a balance between the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: needs of the kids in the community and the taxpayers
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in this community, and how can we address both. Keeping
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: kids safe in Hamilton County is not the only critical
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: legal obligation that we have. From my advantage, poetry House said,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it's a moral obligation to this community. Now, the county
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: apparently is legally obligated to fund the children's services, which
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: this w this levee expires, they won't have any money
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: to do so that's where your budget catastrophe comes in
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: accord to Dreehouse. If we don't pass this levee, we
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: go to zero funding. So I just want to be
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: very clear. We don't go back to where we started.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: We go to zero. It will be a catastrophe for
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the county because now where you are where you coming
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: up with that money, right, the general fund would be devastated.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: That's her assessment of the situation. So it's going to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: be up to you do you believe her lamentations or not.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Since a school board, what do they do? Yesterday they
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: shot down the earned income tax levee, which was widely
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: reported they were planning on doing, voted six to one
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to rescind that levee, and then approved a seven mil
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: property tax levee. You get a chance to vote on
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: that one five to one with one abstention apparently to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: put a property tax levee on November ballot, again defeating
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: my assessment yesterday politically that they would kick this off
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to an off cycle election.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Hm.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: How much add it all up? So you got the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: property tax levee from the City of Cincinnati for my
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: city friends, two hundred and forty five bucks per one
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars of property if approved, and you're gonna
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: have a say on this one. Are the Cincinnati public
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: schools worthy of this money out of your paycheck? Declining enrollment,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: talk of consolidating schools and buildings, which suggests to me
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: maybe they have room to consolidate. Do you think there's
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: any more room for cuts, consolidation, other efficiencies that could
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: be brought to bear. And the fact that I'll go
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: back to the cost to educate a child in the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati public schools is a hell of a lot more
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: than a whole full year annually anyway, a hell of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a lot more than a full year at college at
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati. I think there was fourteen grand
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: basically to go to a full year of college at UC.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: It's twenty one thousand dollars per child at the public schools.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: The math doesn't seem to be right on that, does it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Five twenty five? Oh, got a caller on mine? Have
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to get weight on that one one. Feel free to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: eight hundred eight two three talking to our little other
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: local stories that dive on into and I'm sad to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: read eighty acres is closing. My daughter used to work there.

• 16:15
  Speaker 1: group Lettuce and Fresh Produce. They're shutting down one of
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the local stories coming up. A little heartbreaking on that one.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Don't go weaby right.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Back fifty five krc.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, I've been telling you about the Dwire company for

  Speaker 1: the break? Steve, Welcome to the show. Happy Tuesday to
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you man.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Hi, good morning, Brian fellow o'kills grant here from mister
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: burkolet student as well.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Ah, good guy, Juck Burkholts, Good morning, sir. He's out
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: there listening and easily.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Does I think it was in your sister's class.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Oh so you're a lady, you're a little bit older
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: than me. Class of I'll make you class of eighty, right, Steve.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly fair enough. Anyway, question for I heard you
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: the weekend just coincidentally when you're John Ruman Show when
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: you're discussing you see and the insurance that they come
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: up with for the kids, because my daughter is heading
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: do you see here? This this fall a couple weeks actually,
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: and they did that same thing to me and claimed, oh, well,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: your insurance doesn't cover our meet our qualifications. And I
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: just wondered if you know anything about that. I just
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: I did not get to hear the rest of your
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: discussion with mister Roman on Sunday exactly, but I just
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: wondered if you know anyth because that sounds like a
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: giant scam. I mean, it's got to be pretty frustrated.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I will be honest with you, Steve.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I don't have a specific recollection of the exchange. John
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and I record those segments after the show on Tuesday
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: for replay on Sunday, and we recorded that one sometime back.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I think they're actually doing repeats because John and I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: haven't done a recording segment in about a month. We're
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: due for one next Tuesday, I believe. But that being said,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: as I always like to point out, they will give
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you for free all the information you need, so my
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: only retort would be in order to get the accurate
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: picture on that scam as I think you've accurately described it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Just call them up. They will be happy to explain
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: it to you in detail and give you all the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: right information. It's five one three eight hundred call five
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: one three eight hundred two two five five. Just give
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: them a shout out. Tell them you and I actually talked,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and I recommend that you give them a call. And
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: none of their service has ever cost any money, so
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be they'll be happy to answer your question.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I will be shocked if they don't, right.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: I was just I was just interested if you knew
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: anything about what you sees. Authority is so to speak
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: to do this and why that is even an issue,
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: because it seems ridiculous. Who else questions what your medical
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: insurance is that you can go visit some place.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, It is absolutely crazy, And that is a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: really legitimate question. By what authority can they force you
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to go down this road? It's a great question. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe Barack Obama gave them the idea with
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Obamacare forcing everyone to buy an insurance policy. I know
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm talkuing cheek on that one, and I apologize. I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: can't put more details on the answer to your question,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: but Cover since he can definitely do that again five
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: one three eight hundred two two five five, And if
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you don't get the answer to that question, I will
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: call John personally and ask him. Steve. Thanks, brother, I
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: appreciate you tuning of that segment. It's really a very
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: informative segment. I have learned a ton talking with John
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Roman about medical insurance. Anyway, flip over to look. Tom's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: on the line. That's shocking, No One, Tom, Welcome to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the morning Shoppy Tuesday.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: Brother, Hey, good morning. How are you doing.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I'm doing okay for a Tuesday.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Got another plug in from one of your sponsors. That's
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: always a good thing. It is a caller, that's great.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't steer in the wrong direction. You can listen
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: to somebody else recommend a sponsor, and I'd be the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: first person to tell you if it ain't my voice,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: then I'm not personally recommending them. Although I do appreciate
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: everybody's support of the program. You got to convince me
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: that it's worthy of me steering my listeners and putting
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: my reputation on the line to speak for someone and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Cover since he does a great job I guarantee you that, right.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: Uh so we so we uh we got some levees
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: coming up this this November.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Huh, yes we do.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, really, it's to me, it's not even worth discussing.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: You have these government entities coming for more of your money,
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: and not a single one of them has proven that
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: they know how to use your money properly, and it's
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: it's ridiculous. They're not responsible with our money, None of
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: them are. So if you ever get a chance to,
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: uh to vote on a levee, any kind of tax,
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: pike or anything, you got to vote no. Uh, you
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: figure out how to how to do this correctly with
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: all the millions and millions of dollars that they're already
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: taking from us. If they can't do it right, then no,
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: taking more money is not the answer, can't possibly be.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: You know, By the way, while you're in there voting,
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: don't vote Democrats. Have a great day.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: You do the same, and I'll go back to the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: whole idea of you know, voting for the the the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: elimination adication of property taxes that the ballot. I don't
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: know where that petition is in terms of its status,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: how many signatures they got But you know, Tom's comment
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: sort of you know, made me think of my feelings
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, a large part of me wants to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: see the property taxes completely eliminated by virtue of a
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: boat of about initiative, just to see how our politicians
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: react to the train wreck that that will bring about.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Funding train wreck anyway, the taxpayers ultimately may be the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: beneficiaries of something like that, but I appreciate where Tom's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: coming from. Do you feel that they are deserving of
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: more of our money considering how they manage the affairs
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: of our money that they the money that they take
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: from us. Already, Eighty Acres Farms, the vertical farming company,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: announced yesterday they are winding down their operations. They've been
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: in business for about a decade. They cited in an
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: inability to secure funding needed to continue. They employed three
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: hundred people. My daughter used to work for eighty Acres.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: He went for her horticultural degree and her plant genetics degree.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: He's from Hones State University. It was a good operation
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: at least, she always enjoyed working there anyway. Co founder
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Mike Zelkin said the company made an exhaustive effort to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: find a way forward. But couldn't. That's where they reached
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the decision to shut down. He said. For a decade,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: our team has proven that vertical farming can work at scale,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: building and operating indoor farms that ultimately supplied more than
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: eighteen thousand retail locations across the US. We're proud of
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: our work, the problems we solved and the fresh, clean
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: produce that fed so many people. It really was a
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: unique way of growing vertically with I believe led lighting systems.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: They had natural like honeybees in the area that provided
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: the pollination you know, no fertilizers. So a wave of
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the future I always thought, but just couldn't make it
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: as a business entity, which is really really sad. Two
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: people accused of stealing a dozen luxury watches. This was
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a smash and grab heights at Kenwood Town Center. They
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: showed up in a stolen car that was stolen out
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of state and then ultimately lot authorities on a chase
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: through Warren County. Jordan Grime, twenty five years old, along
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: with a seventeen year old accomplice who's also been arrested
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: charging connection with the theft at the Watches of Switzerland store,

• 23:20
  Speaker 1: tampering with evidence. The seventeen year old also facing charges
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of the Hemlin County Juvenile Court. Of course, they haven't
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: named him because he's a juvenile Grimes from Georgia. The team,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: apparently a resident of Detroit, entered the store July twenty
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: first used the sledgehammer to break the glass that was
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: protecting the watches, stole the watches, ran through Nordstrom, and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: exited the mall. Officers were able to locate the pair
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and when they got to the mall, but identified the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: vehicle they were driving, which again had been stolen in
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Michigan spotted by flock cameras Grime. The team pursued by
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the highest state by the Ohio State Highway Patrol and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the Mason Police before crashing in Lebanon, then chased on foot,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: ultimately taken into custody and question of the Mason Police Department.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Police recover the clothes and tools used in the heist
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: from the vehicle. Grimes attorney did not respond to a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: phone call from the Cincinnati Inquirer, who reported on this.

• 25:55
  Speaker 1: An officer said Spalding was calm and her son was

  Speaker 1: Grain Brewery, Brentwood location. Don't know if I'll see him
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: there tomorrow, but look who's on the phone, Mississippi James.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning show, sir. Happy Tuesday to you.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Hey, doctor Brian, come in peace, love everybody, and there's
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: nothing you can do about it.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I always enjoy hearing that. What's on your mind? It
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: am my friend.
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: All right, Well, I got two ways I can address
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: what I want to say, and it just depends on
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: which way I choose before you use your great defense
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: litigator closing argument to reshape my conversation. But so you're
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: great man, and I know you was tough in the courtroom. Hey,
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: but you were speaking of Trump giving out.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I ran a.
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: Chance to negotiate. Yeah, and you told half of the possibility,
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: and I said, that's strange. He's telling half of the possibility.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: And the half you told was Iran may be using Trump,
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: Iran may be doing whatever the Trump playing them alone.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: It was a rhetorical question. Is Iran playing Trump? Is
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: basically the way I put it, It's just a rhetory
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: as a question. I don't know. I didn't state it
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: as an affirmative. They are playing Donald Trump. My lord
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: knows what the hell's going on. I can't make sense
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: of it. James, go ahead, that's half of it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: But the other half is Trump lying. That's the other
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: half of it. Yeah, because it all comes down to
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: him as an individual, whereas the other people that's on
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: these meeting, the phone calls and whatnot.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay, and you can say that, but I
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: don't really understand what possible motivation or benefit Trump could
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: could come away with if he is literally lying. The
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: baffling part comes out, which allows you to come to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that potential conclusion is Donald Trump says, we pause, We're
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: not gonna bomb because Iran reached out to me and
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: wants to reach a deal, and Iran on the same
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: day say, wait a second, we don't know what he's
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: talking about. We're talking with on mom. We don't have
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: any negotiators talking with Trump, So why would Trump lie?
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Under that? Clearly there must be two sides in a negotiation,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: maybe more considering the situation with Iran, but Iran, United
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: States they're the ones to a negotiation or not. Why
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: would Trump think it'd be good to come out and
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: lie and say the Iranians are actually reaching out when
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: they're not.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: Well, we don't know.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying this both sides.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, and I will acknowledge the possibility maybe he is.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: But to me breaking it down logically reasonably, why is
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the first question that comes into mind? Because I can't
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: come up with a single possible benefit to Donald Trump
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: or what he wants to accomplish by virtue of this
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: conflict that he gets from lying. That just doesn't make
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: any sense. I think more properly, it's this and I'm
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: guessing again, James, I'm not saying this affirmatively. I have
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: to guess because we don't know. It's the situation within Iran.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: You got the Iranian the IRGC, the militant theocratic army
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: part which seems to have control, and then you've got
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the politicians in Iran, which seem to at least pay
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: lip service to the idea that they want to negotiate
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a resolution on this. Ultimately, I think the IRGC has
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: full control. They are the ones that decide whether bombs
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: are going to be dropped, whether there's going to be
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: retaliatory strikes, or they're going to go on offensive strikes
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and start blowing boats up again. But there's a swirling
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: question mark about who's even in charge, who has the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: authority to enter into an agreement, if they are really
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: truly negotiating or not. I don't know. I don't think
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you know. I don't think the American people know. But ultimately,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: why answer the question? Not you, James necessarily, but anybody
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: if you think Donald Trump is lying? What possible gain
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: could there come from Donald Trump lying? He suffers a
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: tremendously If he's caught in a lie, his credibility shot
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: to hell. That is where I find it. But then again,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody really knows where you are at that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe Daniel Davis does. He'll be on at eight thirty
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: to address the situation. Five five fifty five KR see
• 33:23

  Speaker 1: be right back after the news America five care seat

  Speaker 1: talk station. Mind Thomas here, wishing everyone a very happy Tuesday.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Anybody can stick around all morning? Got a good show
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: lined up, of course, guys. Joe Strucker's executive producer for
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: the show, and he lines up guests one hour from now.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait. My mouth is watering. Grace Desrich the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Cure starts now, daughter of Keith Deserts and of course
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: sister of Elena, who passed away from pediatric brain cancer
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: some of the years ago, resulting in the Cure starts
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: now in an effort to solve pediatric brain cancer, but
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: ultimately turned into a a sort of a home run
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: cure mission working on pediatric brain cancer, one of the
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: most aggressive cancers ever. If you can figure out how
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: to cure that one, you can cure all cancers. So
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: ultimately the home run cure is what they're looking for.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: But you can eat Elena's blueberry pie ice cream. Thank
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: you graters for the best ice cream on the planet,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: with a note that Elena's Blueberry Pie ice cream happens
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: to be one of the best, greatest flavors out there.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: That's a biased, subjective opinion, but I love it. She's
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: going to bring some in studio and talk about how
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: you and I can eat that stuff and help solve cancer. Yeah,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: what a great concept. Tom's awast asking we the people convention.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: He'll join the program at seven thirty to talk about
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: the Conservatives need to get out and vote. Now you've
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: got another reason, my friends in Hamilton County they approved
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a tax levee which you're going to be able to
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: vote on for the children's services, which money will completely
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: expire based on the twenty twenty one levee, which generates
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: eighty one million dollars a year. It does expire at
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the end of the year, leaving the county with zero
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: funds for the children's services, which they have to fund
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: under law. So they've got to come up with the
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: money one way or another. So they're going to act
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: in desperation and tell you please vote for the levee.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: It'll cost you one hundred and twenty one bucks for
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: every one hundred thousand dollars of value in property. That'll
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: be a Hamilton County vote. So for it, against it,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: there's a reason to go vote. And again I'll acknowledge
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: my erroneous reading yesterday thinking they would pull these levees
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: because was widely reported that we might want to wait
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to ask people for more money from their property taxes
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: to an off year election or an off cycle election
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: when only people motivated to go out and vote actually
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: show up and vote. Well, that didn't happen November ballot.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Plus the Cincinnati Public Schools, they're also approved a levee yesterday.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: It's a seven mill It's going to cost you two
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty five dollars per one hundred thousand to
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: well fund the Cincinnati Public schools. Are they worthy of
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: a levy? Only some will get to vote on that one,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: But both of those moving forward and will be on
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the November ballot. Inside Scoop with Bright Bart News, A W. R.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Hawkins will be joining the program. He's the firearms expert
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: rights on firearms issues in the law all the time.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And of course we turned to Twin Falls Police Chief
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Matthew Hicks celebrating the citizen who rose to the challenge
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: when that crazed gunman started unloading on people in the
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Idaho in and out Burger actively engaged the suspect returned
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: gunfire toward him, and according to the police chief, he said,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: we want to take a moment to comend the actions
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: of the off duty police officer who was there also armed,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: and the citizen and their heroic action to stop this incident.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the scene, preventing further casualties. Good guys with guns, protect yourself,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: you protect your family, eminent apprehension of grievous bodily harm
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: or fear of life. Fear of life. Also it goes
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: over to people in the surrounding area. If you got
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: a gun and there's a gunman shooting your fellow citizens,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: and you can unload on that guy demonstrably trying to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: kill people, you have a right to keep them bare arms.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: You also have a right to use them under certain situations.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: And Jordan's Salinis is the guy who, well, we need
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: to celebrate armed with his f N five to seven.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty good firearm suppressor too. I noticed that.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: He said. His response was automatic and mechanical. Why well,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: because he engaged in training. Speaking with the news, said
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the gunman did not like it when bullets started hiring
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: both ways, but he said he had no fear. He said,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: everyone says it's not going to happen here, But what
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: if it does? He asked rhetorically, what did he say?
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: He talked about his training speaking with the Idaho States
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and that's the news outlet that reported the conversation that
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: they had with mister Salinis. He said he never pointed
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: his gun at so much as an animal. Prior to
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: this event. He never thought he'd ever he needed to
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: use anything that he practiced, but he did practice. He
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: drilled a four step approach that he borrowed from the military.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Every week. Observe, orient, decide, and act observe, he said.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Slynis ran from the car gun drawn. Video posted on
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: social media shows the man a man slinking behind the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in and out signs and shrubs seeking out the source
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: of the gunfire. That will be mister Slynis's armed citizen
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: orient hidden from you. He established sight lines, he said.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: He reminded himself to stay disciplined on the trigger. Then
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: he saw a guy who police later identified as the
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: late twenty four year old Chad Williams, crazed gunman, standing
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: by the drive through window. He watched Williams lift a
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: rifle to his shoulder and then started firing, started firing
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: toward cars. Step three decide, So I just thought, okay,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: this is the guy, and then finally act where he
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: leveled his pistol with both hands and started firing at
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: the crazed gunman. No reports that he actually hit the gunman.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: The gunman described as ending his own life self inflicted
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: gunshot wounds, saving the taxpayers a trial. We're still waiting
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: around to find out what the motivations were for this
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: crazed idiot. But aw Or Hawkins'll be talking about that
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: exact training and how you two can help. You are
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: part of the solution to the problem with crime we
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: have in this country. Also we talk about how being
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: soft on crime does not pay. Daniel Davis deep dive
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: of the latest on Iran and going back to the
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Mississippi James's called what the Hell's going on? I suggest
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Trump maybe played by the Iranians, And yesterday Trump had
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: to go back to social media say, and accusing Tehran
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: of denying negotiations with the United States while privately seeking
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: negotiations as well as relief from the military and economic
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: pressure that we're putting on the Iranians. Huh, he said,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Iranian leadership is unbelievably duplicitous. They asked for a meeting,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: some would say bag talks began with more scheduled than
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: the intermediate future. They said, they're supposed to be talking
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: this evening, who knows, and they say openly and proudly
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: that they're not having any discussions. And that's the back
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: and forth that's been going on for some time now.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: This whole sort of I refer to it as wash
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: rents repeat cycle. Trump went on and said they go
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: on and to give their usual blathers, saying the straight
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: of horm moves will be operated powerfully by them when
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: it's already completely controlled by the United States Navy and
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: are blockade or does some say the United States Wall
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: of Steel. Nothing gets through to Iran unless we want
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: it to en. Nothing we'll get through unless a deal
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: or total surrender is accomplished, Trump said yesterday. And then
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: in fact talking of a solution to a problem that
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: they have caused for decades. It's very simple. And then
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: he in all caps Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Well,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: he can say it, but what do we have Trump
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: suggesting that we have a pause of military activity because
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: negotiations are ongoing. The Iranians want to sit down at
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the table and work this whole thing out. Heard that before,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and then the next thing you know, the Iranians start
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: blowing up more ships in the Strait of Horror Moves
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: or in this particular case, they come out and say,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: we don't know what he's talking about. The only people
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: we're talking about are the Omanis. They apparently have negotiator
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: at least talking about negotiating or negotiating a resolution where
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I guess ships coming in through the Strait of Horror
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Moves will go along the Iranian side, and then ships
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: leaving the Strait of Horror Moves will go along the
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Omani side. That's what's been reported that they're working out
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: with the Omani's. Whether that bears fruit or not, who knows.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: It's certainly a different situation than before the conflict started.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: But we do have this back and forth, he said,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: she said, which don't seem to align. So if you
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: have the answer to the question, are the Iranians actually
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: talking with Donald Trump? Do the actually are they actually
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: desirous of a resolution of this, a peaceful resolution, or
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: we're gonna start bombing again. No one seems to know.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I think you'd get a definitive answer from the United
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: States if there was something definitive out there. In the meantime,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: though it seems in my subjective opinion that the Iranians
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: are maybe making fun of Trump.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Six fifteen. I think clearly we can all come to
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: some conclusion if we had a viable I think this now.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: You go ahead and correct me and tell me if
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. If we had a viable military option, one
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: that's workable, could effectively defeat the Iranians militarily without having
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: to commit our troops to a long term ground battle.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Remember the Afghanis AK forty sevens in the mountains can
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: go a long way to defeating a global power. The
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Russians tried, We tried. In both cases, it didn't work out.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Just one of many conflicts where yes, armed rebels in
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: the mountains. Think Cuba and Castro. Now they did have
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: the CIA's help on that one. The Castro of militans.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: We kind of missed the point that he was a communist.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: But you can defeat the military. It happens. Do we
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: have a viable military option? Six fifteen to fifty five
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: KRCIT talk station a great dentist doc.
• 43:43
  Speaker 9: CD talk station.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: It is six twenty one to fifty five KR City
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: talk station at e Tuesday, befre to give me call
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty five hundred, eight
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk nine five fifty
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: on eight and T phones because taxpayer is going to
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: be considering where they can handle additional property tax increases. Again,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the City of Cincinnati got since a public schools as
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: well as Hamilton County both putting property tax levies on
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: the ballot. It's just under a total of four hundred
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: additional dollars per one hundred thousand dollars value of the property.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Some suggest this is going to be an easier road
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: to hoe than the earned income tax levee that the
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: city schools wanted to put on the ballot, which was
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: withdrawn yesterday. You know, I suppose if you're going to
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: try to do the math on this. If you live
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: in the city somehow and in some way, you're going
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: to get tax The property taxes are going to be
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: absorbed by you, the renter or the owner owner. Is obvious.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: If you own the property, you're going to get a
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: tax bill from the county, of course. But if you rent,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: does anybody think the landlord won't pass that cost along
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: to you as a renter. Let's be realistic here. Residents
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: are hurting property taxes increase. I mean, you know it's
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: so bad out there. I mean, do I have to
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: remind everybody about the one third increase in property tax
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: we all faced post COVID the idea that we have
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: a ballot initiative seeking to eradicate property taxes completely in
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: the state. Yeah, anger and ire over the property taxes,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: most notably if you're defending the seniors out there with
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: no income, perhaps beyond social security, how can they possibly
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: handle a radical increase in property taxes? And there's that
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: whole legitimate argument that's you know, it's like capital gains.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: You don't get taxed on capital gains until you sell
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: the stock. For example, your stock portfolio has grown. If
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: you get a traditional four oh one k they tax
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: you upon withdraw right. Okay, well, you buy a stock
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: at a dollar and you sell it for ten, guess
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: what nine dollars capital gains? But you gotta sell it first.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: The stock may very well go up to ten, and
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: then tomorrow it could fall like a rock and drop
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: down to below something you bought it for. Thank god,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: I wasn't taxed on the temporary capital gains that appeared
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: on paper but weren't realized by me. It's the same
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: argument for property taxes. Built the house or bought it
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: my senior friends, maybe forty years ago. Yeah, how much
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: did you have involved in that? Okay? What was one
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars forty years ago?
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: The city or the county rather it is telling me
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: that things worth four hundred and fifty thousand dollars that
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I'm being taxed on that what's it going to be
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: worth when I sell it? No one knows. You saw
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: that massive spike as a consequence of COVID nineteen and
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: people starting to work at home and buying and acquiring
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: second properties, moving from their high tax districts into lower
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: taxing districts. You know the math on that. You know
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: how it worked, demand increase the sale price of houses
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: because the housing shortage. Some suggest perhaps that the illegal
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: immigrant crisis created by the Biden administration with the groundwork
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: laid by the Obama administration, created that additional demand on housing.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: When you bring twenty million people into the country over
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: a very short period of time, takes a little while
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: for the housing situation to catch up, isn't it, And
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: then you have the prompt complications of COVID. I mean,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: going through the basic economic realities of a housing shortage,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: limited housing, higher demand, prices go up, and seniors ultimately
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: short of the burden of that massive increase in property taxes.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Are you ready to increase it again? Can my senior
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: friends out there in Hamilton County afford an additional maybe
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: three hundred or four hundred dollars, depending upon where you live.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Will they go out and vote to defeat these levies?
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: And even if a senior is in a position where
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: they think, well, man, the sensing public schools are going
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: to be struggling, and these poor children, the Hamilton County
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Children's Services, they've got to fund that, these poor children
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: and the help that the Hamilton County services. A children's
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: services levee provides these port Well, there's that, but then
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: you have to look at your own personal bottom line.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Can you afford the altruism that you would like to
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: pay for that maybe your budget can't handle. Well, there's
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: the economic realities of home economics. You have to factor
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: in reality, unlike government, who clearly doesn't factor in reality.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: They spend and spend and spend, and then go back
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: to the well and ask you for more. Are they
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: efficient in the expenditure of your valuable taxpayer dollars? No,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Most people my listening onions aren't inclined to reward their inefficiencies.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: I'm certainly not. But fortunately for me, because I'm still working,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I don't have the factor of the economic realities that
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: maybe paying four hundred dollars additionally a year in taxes.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: We have to manage our budgets. We can't print money,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: we can't go into debt, credit card, debt, interest rate.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: And we got a problem with that in the federal
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: level too as well, don't we. Anyway, I know Tom
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: z Awastowski's going to be pushing you to get out
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and vote when he's on the program at seven thirty
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: there's a reason right there to levees City of Cincinnati
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Levy of course, and you got the county level. Might
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: get you off the couch. Jamie's on the phone. You
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: have to hold one moment, Jamie, I'm out of time
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: in this segment. The talk station six one I think
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: have krcity talk station. Feel free to give me a
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: call five one, three, seven two three talk find five
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: fifty on eight and T phones before a jump back
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: to other local stories. I got Jamie on the line. Jamie,
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: thanks so much for holding over the break. Welcome to
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, Brian. Great news on your health. I'm
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: so happy to hear that you're doing so well.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you so much. I truly appreciate that. I
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: really do.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: So.
• 49:32
  Speaker 10: I think the Levey exhaustion is real. We also have
• 49:36
  Speaker 10: a levee going on our ballot in our local school district,
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: and we a group of us who are fighting for
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: the kids. It's the most important thing is what's going
• 49:45
  Speaker 10: on inside the classrooms, clearly, and I think people are
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: just tired of paying more money and not really knowing
• 49:52
  Speaker 10: what's going on. No transparency and just this constant obsession
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: of things that are separate from the needs of the kids.
• 50:03
  Speaker 10: In our district. We've had a recental criminal complaint by
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: a parent where a gifted teacher groomed a little girl
• 50:12
  Speaker 10: for three years and managed to when she left the building,
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: he managed to go to another building and visit her
• 50:22
  Speaker 10: and be alone with her, and mom discovered communication on
• 50:27
  Speaker 10: devices that are given from the school, and it's pretty serious.
• 50:32
  Speaker 10: It went to the state level because of the amount
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: of money that they are doing for But we've got
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: some real problems that need to be dealt with. Lots
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: of questions around just that incident. How in God's name
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: did that happen for the length.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Of time that it happened, Well, I certainly understand that.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I guess the school district perhaps would argue that, yeah, well,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: that's an isolated incident. It's got nothing to do with
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: the overall funding structure we have here. In order to
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: keep buildings open and keep teachers paid, we need more money.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Even if there's some bad teachers in there. We're going
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: to resolve that problem. But broadly speaking, we need to
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: have a levee pass because the buildings are going to
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: be shutter. Teachers are going to get fired. So I
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: understand where you're coming from, and I also understand you
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: know board these school boards also have profound control over
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the curriculum, and a lot of parents are really reject
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: the idea that our children are educated in this woke
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: fashion that you know, the the curriculum has been incorporated
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: to include so much that has nothing to do with
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: core learning, reading, writing, and arithmetic, things that you need
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: to get through life, that you might reject the levee
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: even though the levee will not solve the curriculum problem.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: I mean they exist separately. But yeah, you can hold
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: your eyre out and say no to a levee because
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: of that particular issue which you're facing, or because of
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the curriculum. You don't want to reward that indoctrination, so
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: you don't vote for the levee, even though the school
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: board would have to change the curriculum to address the
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: underlying problem which resulted in you saying no to the levee.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: It's complicated, but there's a multitude of reasons we can
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: all come up with to say yes on the levee
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: or no on the level. I think ultimately it probably
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: comes down to our bottom line of whether we feel
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: like we're getting any return on our investment? And isn't
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: that what the fundamental reality is with the insin public schools?
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Can they consolidate buildings? Can they do with fewer teachers?
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Enrollment is declining? Do they really truly need more money
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: considering they spend twenty one thousand dollars annually widely reported
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: per student. Isn't that in and of itself a reflections
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: they're already getting too much money? Why should it cost
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: twenty one thousand dollars per student? And then moving over,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: are the students actually learning anything? What's the report card?
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: How do their test scores reflect whether they've learned anything
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: or not? Is there great inflation going on? Are they
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: prepared for the next step in their educational journey? Answer
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: all these questions, and if you come out on the
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: nose side of them, then you might want to say
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: no to the levy. That'd be my direction. Anyway, everybody's
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: going to make their own choices. Everybody's going to say
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: yes or no on the levies, depending on how they feel.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Six thirty fivefty five care see the dog station? Got
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: a different thought? Opinion comment? Feel free to give me
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: a call beyond Tuesday happy one to you five three
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: seven two three talk go with pound five fifty if
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: you have an AT and T phone and show up
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: to listener lunch tomorrow roughly eleven thirty. We're going to
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: be the High Grain Brewery Brentwood location. Looking forward to
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: seeing the folks there tomorrow and enjoying some fellowship as
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: I always doing a listener lunch day. Let's go to
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the phone. See what carl'scot this morning. Hey Carl, thanks
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: for calling.
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: Happy Tuesday, Happy Tuesday, Brian say, I've got a public
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: service announcement for those people who have been affected by
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: the flooding. Last Friday, at noontime, the City Manager's Office
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: share a Long issued a press release and the city
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: has set up a special telephone number for those people
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: who have been affected by the flooding, and I will
• 53:55
  Speaker 7: give it out here in a second.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: The people who have already filed a small are sore
• 54:00
  Speaker 7: backup claim do not need to call this number. The
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: people who and residents who were affected by the floodgate
• 54:08
  Speaker 7: not closing do not need to call this number. They
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: have a separate number now. The number is five one
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: three three two three seven nine five. I listened to
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: the news over the weekend and yesterday, and I did
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: not hear any news reports about this special number being
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: set up.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: I was, yeah, yeah, Carl.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: So if you if you have a legitimate claim, you
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: call that number and the city's supposed to reimburse you
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: for your losses, right, Carl.
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: Yes, And they say in this press release that the
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: checks will begin to be issued within the next few weeks.
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: The check is in the mail people.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so, Carl, why might they not telegraph the
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: number out to the broad public, the general public, who
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: probably have a lot of claims out there in the world.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe do you think fewer claims will come in for
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: reimbursement if they don't tell the world what the number is? Carl?
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: Possibly?
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: And they're all cursing you, Carl, for bringing the number
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: up on here on the Morning show. What was there again?
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Five one, three, three two three seventy nine ninety five
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: that I get that right?
• 55:16
  Speaker 7: Yes, Now, the reason why I didn't call your show
• 55:18
  Speaker 7: yesterday was I called this number. Oh, the hours for
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: operation are seven thirty am to four thirty pm Monday
• 55:27
  Speaker 7: through Friday. I called the number and I asked a question.
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: I said, Okay, if a person lives in Fairfax, Kim
• 55:34
  Speaker 7: they call this number and get some relief. And I
• 55:38
  Speaker 7: really did not get a clear answer that the call
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: taker told me. If you live in one of those areas,
• 55:44
  Speaker 7: call this number and give them your address and they
• 55:48
  Speaker 7: will decide as to whether or not you get relief
• 55:51
  Speaker 7: because this number is going through the waterworks system. Oh,
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: not the storm water It's very confusing that.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Well, you just confused me early on that one, Carl, Huh,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: yes so.
• 56:04
  Speaker 7: And another public service suggestion would be for people to
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: sign up for Since the alerts. When the flooding was occurring,
• 56:14
  Speaker 7: my phone was blowing up. I normally ignore these things.
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: I get so many of these alerts, but yeah, it
• 56:20
  Speaker 7: was serious. They were telling people to stay in place.
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: And the way you sign up for since the Alerts
• 56:25
  Speaker 7: is go to the Smart nine one to one system,
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: sign up, and then sign up for Since the Alerts.
• 56:30
  Speaker 7: You get emergency alerts, road closures, monthly tests, municipal alerts,
• 56:35
  Speaker 7: service alerts such as trash collection being delayed, community engagement,
• 56:39
  Speaker 7: City of Cincinnati newsletter, and press releases. Now underneath Smart
• 56:43
  Speaker 7: one nine to one one, you can also sign up
• 56:46
  Speaker 7: for Alert Hamilton County that gives you weather alerts and
• 56:49
  Speaker 7: emergency alerts. Now, the next thing is, I heard the
• 56:52
  Speaker 7: news media report that today is the meeting down at
• 56:56
  Speaker 7: Cincinnati City Call for the Climate Frontal and Infrastructure Committee,
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: And I tried to verify the time on that, and
• 57:05
  Speaker 7: I couldn't come up with anything. They have been having
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: the meetings at ten am in the morning, and that
• 57:11
  Speaker 7: group there are going to be I would assume that
• 57:13
  Speaker 7: there are going to be some residents going down there
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: and questioning city council about the storm response.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Well, well, don't sweat it, Carl, because it's reported by
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: the Inquirer. Scott Arton're reporting they're going to assemble a
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: in addition to the one you just mentioned, a flood
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Resilience task Force for the purpose of coming up with
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: flood control suggestions, which will include green infrastructure suggestions like well,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: rain gardens, increase vegetation to absorb rain water. Apparently that's
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: some of the ideas that are going to come up
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: with the flood Resilience task Force. I thought rather comical.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Seth Walsh commenting to the enquire about that one thousand
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: year storm that we experienced on July seventeenth, resulting in
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: this massive flooding the one thousand year storm. It happens
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: very infrequently, hence the name. Six inches of rain in
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: one hour dumped on Oakley High Park and other east
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: side neighborhoods. Of course, our infrastructure couldn't handle it. That's
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: what caused all the flooding. And when the floodgates didn't
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: drop down, and obviously people got their cars flooded, et cetera,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So I thought it was other interesting though,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: according to councilmember Walls quote Walsh, these storms referring back
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: to the one thousand year flood storms, these storms are
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: going to be more and more frequent, while infrastructure was
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: sufficient years ago. We need to look at a hole
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: at a or we looked at it as a whole
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: at a larger real solution. Is he a meteorologist, How
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: does he know that we're gonna have more one thousand
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: year level floods? When's the last time we had six
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: inches of rain dumped down in an hour? I'm not
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: saying don't be prepared for this kind of thing. And
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: in fact, that bridge was previously re the bridge over
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Duck Creek along Madison Road. Yeah, it was like five
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: six years ago they did an assessment of it and said, yeah,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: we could build a different bridge and we wouldn't have
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: a flooding problem along there. But however there's not enough
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: money to build a new bridge. So apparently motion submitted
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: a council members Jefferies by council members Jefferies and Albe
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: would direct the administration to revisit the decision not to
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: replace that bridge, as well as look at other stormwater
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: management measures. So that's your brand new flood Resilience task
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: force hitting the ground running. I'm sure no mention of
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: who's on it, what kind of authority they have, and
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: of course no swirling question marks about well, if we
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: need to replace that bridge, where's the money gonna come from?
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: Carl appreciate it again. That phone n verse if you
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: want to put a claim in five one three three
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: two three seventy nine ninety five, Eh, light it up.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Bobby's on the phone. Hang on, brother gets your call.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: When we talk station six fifty two on a Tuesday,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: out of their news and she's already in house. Grace
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: suggests when the cure starts. Now it's that time of year.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Cones for the cure, where we get to eat ice
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: cream and cure cancer. I love that concept and thanks
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: again in a shout out to greaters. As always, Gray's
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: going to be on the program off the top of
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: the Our News with Tom z Awastowski at night at
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: seven point thirty on needing to get out to vote
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: this fall with conservatives in mind, and the saga of
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Ohio Representative Max Miller, the husband of Bernie Marino's daughter,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: who many have accused of being a spousal abuser. Bernie's
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: on record on that one. Let's see what Bobby's got
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: this morning. Bobby, welcome to the Morning Show, and happy
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Tuesday to you, sir.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 9: Good morning Brian Faith's Flagg family.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: And it's two for Tuesday today two for Tuesday.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: Well, we got tax levies, floods levies, you know, just
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: say no on everything.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 6: No, no, no.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: I've still got a bunch of flags or excuse me
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: signs that we took up for the last three or
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: forty years. We got about forty knows and about seventy
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: yes siens. So whatever the issue is, we can put
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: the signs up for it.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Does it just say vote no or vote yes?
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: Just vote no. Yeah, all the signs for the last
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: three or four years that they leave out over the
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 9: election days. We just grabbed the signs up and we
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 9: collect them. We got a bunch of noose and yeses.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: But no reference to any particular issue. Just vote no
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: or vote yes, and you leave the person driving by
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: your house to decide what the hell you're talking about.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 9: Bobby, Well, it doesn't matter. Just vote no tax I
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 9: like that.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that the garbage canon wasn't filled with the
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: vote yes on anything levies and just keep the vote
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: no signs. I think you're probably in a safer position
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: with the default being vote no.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: Well, sometimes you just have to say yes.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Well, and that may you know, I speaking of property taxes,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: that may be the vote that people decide to go
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: if they get an opportunity to eradicate property taxes, in
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: which case you're going to haul out your vote yes signs, Right, Bobby.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 9: That's exactly right. Also, I got an important thing too.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 9: We got this new alert thing in Cincinnati that I
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 9: just heard about that they do violence and everything of shootings.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 9: I mean they want you to, you know, stay secure.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 11: In your home.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 9: I mean, he'll you couldn't get out in Cincinnati if
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 9: they give you alerts like that for all the shootings
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: they have.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe if more people arm themselves and were prepared
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: to meet the challenge of protecting their fellow citizens like
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: what happened at the in and out Burger the other day,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: and then people would be feel safeer going out and
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: about right.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 9: They need to practice practice.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: That was a key element on the responsible citizen with
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: a firearm who probably saved many lives in the in
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: and out Burger shooting. He practiced a lot. It's widely reported,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: and I think that is a key element, Bobby. It's
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: a good point. I'm a firearms owner, and you know what,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: when I had to pull out my firearm because I believe,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: legitimately so that my life was in peril, I had
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: a sense of comfort about me at the time. This
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: after a man tried to kill me on the Expressway.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Not going to go thro all the details on that
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: happened multiple years ago, but you know what, when I
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: got out of my car with firearm in hand, I
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: had a sense of calm about me. Why because I
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: know how to use it. I've been on the range
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: a lot over my life, and while I am no
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: marksman and I've been out shot by a lot of guys.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: There are a lot more people that are out there
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: better firearms operators than I am. I know how to
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: use it, I can use it with confidence, and that
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: confidence gave me a feeling of calm when I was
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: confronting a guy who quite literally was trying to kill me.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: And I don't know that I would have felt that
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: way had it not been to the range A lot
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: over my life. Something to think about. Get to the range,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: own one, but then get to the range. Be responsible.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the opportunity to use that from your
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: springboard there, Bobby six fifty six. Let's eat ice cream,
• 1:03:49

• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: from Tom Zawastowski from We the People Convention dot Org.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: I hope you can stick around America. See Cincinnati and
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio Station Guaranteed Human fifty five krc D Talk station.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: I Heart Radio.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: Just I have seven six here fifty five krc DE
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: talk station. I'm very happy Tuesday to you, extra special,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: very happy Tuesday. In studio Grace Destrid from the Cure
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Starts Now, who is the daughter of Keith and brook
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Destricts who lost their daughter, i e. Grace's sister so
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: many years ago. She was diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: described as one of the most aggressive cancers out there,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: and so turning lemons into lemonade, Keith and Brooks started
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: the Cure Starts Now with the help of a just
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: an awesome, awesome local business, Greater's ice Cream, where you
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: get the details on how this whole thing started with
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: the goal of finding a cure for pediatric brain cancer.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: And apparently in good morning, Grace, it's such a pleasure
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: to have you here today. Obviously you brought with you
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Elena's Blueberry Pie ice cream, your sister, your late sister, Elena,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: the impetus behind the entire organization, the Care Starts Now.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: And how old were you when Elena passed away?
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 12: I was four years old when Elena passed and when
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: she was diagnosed. So it's this battle has followed me
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 12: my entire life. But it's amazing to be back here
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 12: in Cincinnati and really be able to partner with this
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 12: local business and be able to raise money for such
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 12: a great cause.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: And in honor of her well and raising money for
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: a great cause. It's one thing to have a great cause,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: and it's another thing to get people to donate to it.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: But the ultimate challenge is to actually have that those
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: donations bear fruit. And that's where I wanted to start today,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: because when your sister passed away, the life expectancy for
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: a child that was diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: Was nine months.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Nine months, Yeah, nine months, So tell my listening audience
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: about Claire.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 12: So, when Elena was diagnosed, the doctors told us nine months,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 12: go home, make memories. There's no experts in this field.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 12: There's no research out there for you, there's nothing that
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: they could do, which is a horrible thing to hear
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 12: from any doctors out there. And what we've been able
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 12: to do from it is to make sure you know,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 12: we couldn't find the cure in time for Elena, but
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 12: we can.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: Help other kids.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 12: And so we have this little girl, Claire, who was
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 12: diagnosed eight years ago and is still fighting today. She
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 12: was just a little baby. She was two years old
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 12: when she was diagnosed, and now she's going into fifth grade.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 12: We get to see her grow up because of the
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 12: research that has been funded because Claire has been fighting
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 12: and has fought this three separate times. She's been on
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 12: all trials that have been funded by the Cure Starts Now,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 12: and so we really get to see her grow up
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 12: and we get to see all that work that we
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 12: put in for the last twenty years pay off here
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 12: with someone like Claire and such a sweet family.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Eight years with research, clinical trials, from research that you
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: and the people who donated to the Cure Starts Now funded,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: we go from nine months to eight years. I'm getting
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: an allergy operate just thinking about that.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's incredible, and it's truly tangible.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 12: I can sit here and talk about all the research
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 12: that we funded, all the big words, but what I
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 12: love seeing is I love seeing the tangible results of
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 12: kids living longer, kids getting a childhood gang to learn
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 12: how to ride a bike because of the work that
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 12: we're doing. And that's what makes it feel all the
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 12: more real is families gaining more time to make memories.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: And I have had the glorious benefit of being affiliated with,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: at least in some small measure, the Cure Starts Now,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: because you invite me back every year to just sort
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: of do some speaking at the Gala, the big event
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: every year. If you do a fabulous John looking for regulation,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not looking for praise. I'm just telling you I
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: love doing it because you know, I get the benefit
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: of being affiliated with an organization that does that kind
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: of work. But the amazing thing is is the people
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: that show up to those and who want to help
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: out and who are committed to helping find a cure.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: Eight and fifty thousand dollars this year from the Gala.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it's just crazy. And we've seen just the
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: support be totally out of control, especially in the city.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: It's great.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 12: We were born here, we were born in the city,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 12: and just to see the Cincinnati community continue to rally
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 12: around us, continue to be right by our side, even
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 12: twenty years later, is incredible and it speaks volumes about
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 12: who the people in the city are and who the
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 12: people are who stand up and say enough is enough,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 12: this is unacceptable.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: We need to do better for our kids.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Well, and along the way you made the pivot. It
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: went from an issue exclusively focused on pediatric brain cancer
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: to the home run. And I'm emphasizing this because the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary will do the Gala in the springtime, right,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: do you have a date STF for it yet?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be April eighteen.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think we won't to hold you to it,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: but in the springtime, the twentieth anniversary, and I think
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: it truly is we can call it a celebration. We're
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: talking about cancer here. We're talking about pediatric brain cancer
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: and the inevitable death that comes along with it. Cancer sucks,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: But you've made so much progress over that period of time,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: and you've pivoted over, like I said, to the home
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: run cure, and I guess the point being on that,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: and you can correct me if I got the details wrong.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: No one was doing research on pediatric brain cancer when
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: your sister passed away, because it's such a quick death sentence.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Nine months is not enough time for someone to engage
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: in research, especially and like.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: It was also a career killer.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 12: Like doctors would come out of school and you know,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 12: they would sit there and say, I want to go
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 12: into this because I think that it holds the most
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 12: hope to finding a cure, and they'd be told there's
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 12: no money in that, don't go into that, and so
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 12: they would pivot to something else. But the reality is
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 12: is that even though pediatric brain cancer doesn't affect the
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 12: most amount of people, like breast cancer, like colon cancer,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 12: like lung cancer, it still holds the key to curing
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 12: all cancers. Because we have three ways to fight cancer today.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 12: We have surgery, we have radiation, we have chemotherapy. Those
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 12: don't work on this cancer. The only one that has
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 12: any effect is radiation, and it is only temporary, and
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 12: so we are forced into finding that fourth option. Whereas
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 12: other cancers are taking the chemotherapy the radiation that works
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 12: for them, we are forced into the fourth option, which
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 12: is going to lead us to the cure. So that's
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 12: why focusing on these cancers is so important.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: And that hopefully will pivot then to the home run cure.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: And you've done an amazing thing, you and everyone associated
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: with the cure starts. Now You've gotten researchers from around
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: the world, cancer researchers, doctors at different facilities, working for
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: different businesses, and these pharmaceutical companies whoever to join together
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: to share information for the global benefit of hopefully finding
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: a home run care which is a cure for all
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: things cancer that in and of itself is in how
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: do you get all of them like hurting cats, to
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: get together to want to even sit down at the
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: same table and maybe give up some of their private information,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: some of their intellectual property that they're working on.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 12: It's definitely very difficult, but at the cure starts now.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 12: We believe that the cure isn't just going to come
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 12: from good research. It's going to come from collaboration, it's
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 12: going to come from transparency, and it's going to come
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 12: from efficiency. And so along with funding good research, we
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 12: also want to make sure that we are, you know,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 12: really pushing these ideas forward, that we are forcing people
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 12: to talk to one another, because if we're not sharing
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 12: what we know, then it's going to take us so
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 12: many more years to find that cure. So we believe
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 12: very strongly in that, and we it's even practices that
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 12: we require out of people who get funding from us.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 12: They have to talk to one another, they have to
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 12: present at our symposium, even if it's unpublished work. So
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 12: we believe in that very strongly, and we're kind of
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 12: the bull in the china shop of the cancer world.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 12: We're kind of making sure that we're tearing down those
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 12: barriers to get to a cure faster because it's important.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: It is truly important and mentioning going back to the
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary of the Cure Starts Now and sad realities
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: of its founding. But you're going to get the Global
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Symposium in town, yeah, same weekend as the Cure Starts
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Now Gala in April.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 12: It's all that collaboration, all that those researchers coming together
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 12: to share their research, share their ideas. That's going to
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 12: happen in Cincinnati at the same time, and it's really cool.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: It's been in Cincinnati before, but this is the first
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: time in quite a while that we're bringing it back
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: home well, and.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a huge event. It's a huge
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: event every year. Normally you get nine hundred to one
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: thousand people. I think you're expecting more like seventeen hundred
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: folks at the other.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 12: Yes, seventeen hundred people at the gala hopefully. But it'll
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 12: be really amazing to bring really our Cure Starts Now
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 12: family together. It's going to feel like a big old
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 12: family reunion, it.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: Is, and just absolute celebration of the work and the
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: progress you've made over all those years. And again we're
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: on the road to an actual cure and I firmly
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: believe in my lifetime, based upon the work that you're
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: doing in other researchers, that we will find a cure
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: for cancer in my lifetime. God can only hope that
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: is the truth. Well, and I'll tell my listeners if
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: you want to be part of the fun in Abray
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: can get your tickets. Go to the Cure StartsNow dot
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: org and look there's a little button in the upper
• 1:13:31

• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: for the research. And thank God the Cure Starts now
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: out there doing this research, and thank God for Greater's
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: ice Cream. We're gonna be talking about Greaters and how
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: they were there at the very beginning of the Cure
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Starts Now and how we can all enjoy the wonderful
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: ice cream they make and help solve the problem with
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: cancer by donating to the Cure Starts Now. It's time
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: for the cones for the Cure event. We'll talk about
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: the details on that with Grace Destricts. After this brief
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: word or two for my friends Station five KCIT Talk Station.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: Smile on my face because I've got my Elena's Blueberry
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Pie ice cream from Graters in front of me him.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: I'm enjoying these bites of ice creaming between my conversation
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: with Grace destarts from the Cure Starts Now. Of course,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: we went through the foundation of the Care Starts Now
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: twenty year anniversary. Next spring Elena death Ritche lost her
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: life to pediatric brain cancer and Grace her sister. I
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: guess you're taking over for your dad in this operation,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: aren't you. Grace. He puts you work.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: He does put me to work. He puts me to
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: work a lot.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 12: But yeah, Cones of the Cure has been my baby
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 12: for the last couple of years. So it's really cool
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 12: to be able to work with Graters and to be
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 12: able to really bring it home to Cincinnati and honor
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 12: Elena in this way.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: Well in Greater is such a wonderful organization. They were
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: there at the very beginning.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 12: Oh absolutely they So they were one of the first
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 12: businesses that we actually approached after starting the Cure Starts Now,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 12: and we actually all we asked them for was can
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 12: we auction off the ability to create your very own
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 12: Greater's flavor?
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: And they agreed and we auctioned.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 12: It off at our very first gala and we had
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 12: a family win it and they created Elena Smooberry Pie.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 12: It was never meant to be an actual Grater's flavor,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 12: but it became so popular that Greaters brings it back
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 12: every single code to the Cure to help us raise
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 12: some money.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: And if my listeners stop any Greater's location during the
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: cones for the Cure event. Is it a week long.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 12: Event, it's eleven days, so it started last Thursday. It
• 1:15:24

  Speaker 12: Back, and it's just an incredible deal. I mean you
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 12: you basically pay for your donation just in the deal.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: So it's incredible any Greaters location, and you know, to
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: put a little a dollar sign on what the Cure
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Starts Now has been able to accomplish up to this
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: very moment in time, basically forty four plus million dollars.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 12: Yes, and that's not just money promised, that's money delivery spent, yes,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 12: out of our bank account, so we believe fully and
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 12: making sure that that money is spent and it's spent
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 12: in the right way.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Well, eight I'm going back to Claire. Yeah, nine months,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: that's all you got before the Cure Starts Now came along.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: Eight years and she's still fighting that battle. That's so great.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: And part of it comes down to Greater's impact.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 12: Greaters has been with us since the very beginning. They're
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 12: our biggest corporate sponsor, and they have brought in with
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 12: con to the Cure over two point five million dollars
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 12: over the last nineteen years. It is just crazy and
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 12: like they make more of an impact. Our goal this
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 12: year is three hundred and fifty thousand dollars with this campaign,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 12: and that's really tangible. That's funding a whole nother trial
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 12: for our kids. That's funding, you know, three more trials
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 12: for our kids. So it it makes a huge impact.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 12: And for kids like Claire, that means that they actually
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 12: get treatment in a space where they wouldn't have gotten
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 12: treatment nineteen years ago.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Just amazing. And all we have to do is eat
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: ice cream.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's the easiest way.
• 1:17:24

  Speaker 1: it basically, and once it's gone, it's gone.

  Speaker 1: because it's bad for you and cancer loves it speaking

  Speaker 1: Total free pass. I mean, okay, where do I sign
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: up for that cure cancer? Eat ice cream? Okay? Anyway, Tom,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the extra love on that topic. It's a
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: copic near and dear to my heart. We have people
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Convention dot Org. You got Tom's a weekly podcast. Check
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: that out on a regular basis. And Tom, I guess
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: I'm really worried and concerned. And I don't you know,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: we're all sort of skeptical data and cinical about polling data,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: and it's so important for my listeners to get out
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: and vote this fall. But what I'm seeing is Amy
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: Lockdown acting running basically neck and neck with viv Gramaswamy
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: in a state that's supposed to be pretty solid red.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you seeing any red flags on this race?
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: Tom?
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: I guess because again, either I question the polls or
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: I scratched my head over the sanity of the voting
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: population that's been asked how they're going to vote in
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: this fall.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: Brian, I think you're you know, yeah, we don't trust
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: the polls. That's why I uhould do all my own polling.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: But the reality is, you know, it shouldn't even be close,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: and if it is, close. There's something wrong, and there
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: is something wrong. You know, you're hearing it from your listeners.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: I'm hearing it across the state and across the nation.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: There's multiple things that are really hurting us this fall.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: One is property taxes. The Republicans never really addressed it.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: They you know, they kind of you know, tiptone around it.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: There are some things coming that the House has sent
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: it pass that are going to relieve some of that,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: but it hasn't been enough and people are still upset
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: about that. The second thing is data centers. Oh my gosh,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: I mean I have begged every Republican I can find
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: to lead on this. You know, get out there. It's
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: bully victim hero. The bully are the data centers. The
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: victims are the people. The Republicans need to be the hero.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: Get out and say we're going to fix this. We're
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: going to have safe data centers. We're going to make
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: sure the PUCO doesn't raise your electric rates, We're going
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: to make sure the EOHIOIPA protects your water. But they're
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: not doing that. And then the final thing was and
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: I you know, I've talked to you, and he is
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: very kind to give us airtime for this, but I
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: pushed for them to do a temporary suspension of the
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: fuel tax. And as I said before, it wasn't about
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: the fuel tax. It was about forty three percent of
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: Ohio voters say that inflation and the economy are going
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: to decide who they vote for in November. And by
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: suspending the fuel tax and given people a few hundred
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: bucks back in their wallet between now and November, they
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: could have shown that they're not just talk, but they
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: actually give a dang about you and your life and
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: how you're doing. They haven't done any of that, so
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: this tremendous hesitancy. So they're not going to vote for
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: Amy Acting, but you don't have to. If you don't vote,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: you are voting for Amy Acting.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: There you go with a question. Let's double down on that.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: If you stay at home because you're not overwhelmingly one
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: hundred percent satisfied with either candidate, you are assuring the
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: least the least of your two choices a victory. I've
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: had this discussion with, you know, some conservative friends of mine.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to vote for Rumswa. I mean he's
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: a corporate or he's a I don't know. They've always
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: come up with some some nonsensical argument that he's just
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: not perfect or he's not good enough. What's the alternative
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: any lockdown? Acting on the heels of what we've learned
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: from doctor fauci Uh, we need to get the message
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: out more. Tom's aust ask you specifically, I want to
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: ask you, are the data center issues that we talk
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: about here? Can we actually solve the problem, most notably
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: your comments about our energy costs that seems maybe to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: be in the hands of the federal government. More with
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: krc DE talk station seven forty here fifty five KRCD
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: talk station. Tom's OUs Dowsing's on phone. He's with We
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: the People Convention dot org. We hear from Tom every week.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: I recommend to check his website out and bookmarket and
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: check out his podcast every week. Pivoting back to the
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: gubernatorial race, Amy actin vvank Ramaswamy and I agree with you,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: it's very important that Republicans start getting out generally speaking
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: Republicans to talk about property taxes. We got a new level.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: We had two levees here in Hamilton County. One Hamilton
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: County levee to increase property taxes, and we also have
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: the Sincini Public Schools going after another property tax levee themselves,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: so it's particularly hard hit if you're a resident of Cincinnati.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: Both of those levees were to pass, but property taxes
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: is the ballot? Is there still a petition circulated to
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: eliminate property taxes in Ohio?
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: Tom, Yeah, they are going to continue to you know,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: collect signatures in the hopes of getting the enough to
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: put on the ballots, say in twenty twenty seven. I
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: don't know if it can be done, because you know,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: people move, people die, you know, things change, some of
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: the signatures who rode. I think it has to be
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: done by the Republicans that we elect, and they're promising, right,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're the Vegas saying in his speeches, you
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: know that they're gonna, you know, reform property taxes. And
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: I've talked on this show before that I've actually presented
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: him with a plan to reform property taxes that I
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: think people would really like. And I think that's what
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: he wants to do. The question is can you get
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: the Republican houses send it to back them and doing it.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not confident of that, and it's concerning to me
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: and I keep warning them, you guys are all talk.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: We need to see action. That's why the gas tax
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: suspension was a simple way to show that you would
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: actually do something that benefited me instead of talk about it.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: And they didn't do it. And I said, I think
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: they have a credibility issue because that we get a
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: lot of promises brand but we just don't get a
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: lot of action.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: Well, that is true, and it's a kind of a
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: typical thing coming out of Columbus. But in terms of
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: property taxes, you can say reform, eliminate, but that goes
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: along with well then what about fill in the blank,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: please fire libraries, parks, recreations, all the other stuff that's
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: funded by property taxes. It becomes a very complicated thing
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: to unwind for voters to understand what it'll look like
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: on the other side if we eliminate or somehow remove
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: some of the burden of property taxes.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: And I can answer that. I can answer that directly.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: So the package I gave to the bank is real,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: simpl First of all, everyone needs to understand the property
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: tax reform is not about just giving you more and
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: less property taxes. It's about reforming our bloated government at
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: every bloody level in this state. That's the problem with
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: all That's why we're not Florida or Texas. We are
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: bloated at every level. So how do you do that? Well,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: the reform package that I presented to Eggue, it basically
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: gives everybody a nine percent haircut. Okay, Now you can't
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: say to me, oh, we can't run the police department
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: if you cut nine percent, They'll have no firemen if
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: you cut nine percent. When you know in twenty twenty
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: you had exactly the same money and we had fire
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: departments and police departments. So the whole idea was to
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: give a reset and give them an incentive, them, meaning
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: local government entities, whether they be libraries or or you know,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: townships or whatever, to start to consolidate, to get rid
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: of duplicate programs, to have eighty eight school districts instead
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: of six hundred and ten, for god's sake, That's what
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: property tax reform is really about. Reforming government, not just
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: property taxes.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that each one is a little fief do
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: them with its own power control and people who do
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: not want to relinquish power. There's no way I'm going
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: to give up my power. And then you run headlong
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: into both Republicans and Democrats with that mindset. So I
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: appreciate what you're saying. Can't disagree with the fact we
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: have too many school districts, but fighting that is sometimes
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: seems to be an insurmountable challenge, but one that's worthy
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: of being taken on pivoting over to data centers. Tom Zawastowski,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: the problem seems to me that we do literally have
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: an off the shelf solution for our power needs. It's
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: small modular reactors. Is a great article in the paper
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: at last week talking about all of these different startup
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: companies that went from start with no nuclear reactor to
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: finish a operable small modular reactor, all of them smaller
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: than a semi tractor trailer truck bad and they work
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: and they provide an abundance of power. We could have
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: those right now. One of the problems the federal government.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: It's a regulatory scheme we don't have. Probably the state
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: does not have control over its own nuclear regulatory scheme.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: So if we removed all of the state impediments, regulatory
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: and otherwise, we still have the federal government to deal with.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: How do we overcome that challenge.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: Well, today President Trump is having a meeting with all
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: the AI guys, talking more about security and make sure
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: that the AI is say, but I'm sure also talking
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: about this problem. It is a problem of regulation. It's
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: over regulation in some places and under regulation in other places,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: and we haven't gotten it right. But at least they're
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: aware of it and they are acting on it because Brian,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: we just have to get this right. This is an
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: existential threat.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: The bottom line is, whoever wins the AI race is
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: going to be the one that governs the next hundred years,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: and we don't want the Chinese to be the ones
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: doing that.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: Right, It's here. It's a thing. In spite of the
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: fact that I agree, I do not like really pretty
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: much anything that AI provides to us. We've made it
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: this far without it. It's here. So the question is,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: are we going to take the benefits of the AI
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: data centers, taxation and otherwise jobs and keep it, or
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: we're gonna let somebody else deal with it. More fundamentally,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: the existential threat you mentioned, are we gonna let the
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party deal with this and set the stage
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: for how AI operates into the future, or are we
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: the United States going to govern that. I like the
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: United States taking care of matters a lot more than
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: I think about the Chinese Communist Party doing it. Tom, Tom,
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: there's a saga here.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: Do we trust something?
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Really, but they're better than the lesser of two problems
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: the saga and it is of Ohio Representative Max Miller.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Tom on that particular challenge. Bernie
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: Moreno's daughter is married to Max Miller, and apparently they
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: got some marital issues going on. Maybe a real problem
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: for Max. Seven forty six right now more Tom's alistask
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: after I mentioned John Ryan Prestige Interiors, John JRC talk
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: Station seven fifty here fifty five Kosie Talk Station, we
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: need a people Convention dot org. Guess where you find
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: Tom's ALISTASKI throughout the week? You find him here in
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: the morning show on a Tuesday beginning at seven thirty. So, Tom,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: we're gonna pivot over and talk about the issues involving
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: Ohio Representative Max Miller, who's up for reelection in November,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: happens to be the husband of Bernie Moreno, Senator Bernie
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: Marina's daughter Emily. And there's some pretty serious allegations floating
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: around the claims that he pointed a gun Emily's head
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: through against the wall, port hot water on her, and
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: also potentially fractured their two year old daughter's collar bone.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: He denies the allegations, and trust me, having worked in
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: domestic relations court as a younger man, a lot of
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: these allegations quite often turn out to be lies in
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: the middle of a terrible divorce situation, which it sounds
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: like they're going through now. Trump so far hasn't told
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: him to bow out, although a lot of Republicans are
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: taking dude, you got to get out of this race.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: You cannot win in spite of the fact that his
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: district is very, very red. Your assessment of this, Tom Zawastowski.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, how does this affect your listeners in Cincinnati. Well,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: in Ohio, we redistrict did to try to get more
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: house seats, and now because of this controversy, you know,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: we could have a house seat that's in jeopardy, So
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: it's important for us. Let me just say flat out.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: One of the first people Max Miller met when he
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: decided to run for Congress after being an aide to
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: President Trump in the first term was Tom Zawastowski I
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: helped get elected in twenty twenty two to replace Bob Gibbons,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: and unfortunately, like a lot of Republicans that we've helped
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: at the Weak People Convention, after he got elected, our
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: relationship sort of ended and he doesn't really talk with
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: me much anymore. I know Bernie Marino, I know you
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: know Bernie Marino. I consider Bernie a friend. I think
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: he considers me a friend, and I'm sure you saw
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: his post on social media that was just gut wrenching.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: But my interpretation is pretty much like your experience. I
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: think this is I think that Max and his statement
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: Sunday saying that this is not true and that the
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: courts that you know, the Child Services has investigated and
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: haven't found anything. I don't think Max is going to
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: drop out, and I think that he can still win
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: if he doesn't drop out, because it is a very
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: red district. But this goes to what you and I
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: decide to talk about today, and that is we've got
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: to understand the situation. There's a lot of people on
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: the ballot we don't like, particularly Republican side. I'm asking
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: your listeners to not vote for Republicans this year vote
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: for themselves. I'm asking you all to vote in your
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: own best interest. Our best interest, as we the people,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: is to vote for every Republican with a pulse, regardless
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: of their policies, their past history, with regardless of what
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: they've done to us, for one reason, because we have
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: a chance to destroy the Democratic Communist Party and literally
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: make them go the way of the Whigs. That's in
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: our best interest. We'll deal with the Rhino Republicans after that.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: This fall. You've got to turn out and droves and
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: vote in your own best interests because thanks to the
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: idiots on the Democratic side who are going for this
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: Kamy nonsense, they're giving us the opportunity to wipe them
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: off the map. That's what Tom's Awastowski and the We
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: the People Convention want to do, wipe the Kammedis off
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: the map.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I do believe Max Miller has got a problem
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: on his hands. God knows, I guess. I suppose one
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: could argue he should do the noble thing and just
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: back out because the seat might be in jeopardy given
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: the allegations, again which have not yet been proven. But
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: who would be who who would substitute for him? In
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: the race. I mean, is there even a contender out
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: there that could get elected.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there would be a special election. It's not one
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: of those things where they just appoint somebody, So that
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: would be a quickie, right, a quick spacual election. The
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: name that's getting floated, which I'm not happy about, is
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: Jim or Nacy, Jim er Nacy in the district. And
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: you know he's a former congressman, and you know that's
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: the name that most have been popping up. So that
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: gives me reason to want to encourage Max to continue
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: to stay in because I don't want.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: Jim Ernacy well fair enough. Axios is reporting that Donald
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: Trump had a phone with Miller just yesterday and expressed
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: doubts over his candidacy, saying, at least it's reported that
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Trump told him things aren't looking good repeatedly and it'll
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: be a tough, real election. He didn't tell him to
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: bow out, to the best of the report of my
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: knowledge considering the reporting on this, but I guess Trump
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: has chimed in with with Max Miller.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what happens. But again, for all of us,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: we got to keep focused on the goal. You're the goal,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: Our goals, not their goals. Our goals. Our goals is
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: to restore our nation and the only way we're going
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: to do that is to win the House and the
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: Senate and keep President Trump on track with the make
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: America Great Again agenda.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: A man, Tom's Awastowski. Either people can mention dot or
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: check him out and Tom we'll talk again next week.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, my friend. It's always a
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: pleasure having you on program.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: I gotta get me some that ice cream.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: I gotta get me some of that night better Man
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: before it runs out, Elena's Blueberry High ice cream. Get
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: the greatest you can have it shipped to yours to
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: your address, Thom, since you're not in the neighborhood, just
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: go to Greater's website and get a care package. You'll
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: be glad you did.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: I love it. I will do that. Good man, good idea, good.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: Man, Tom. Take care, brother, folks. Don't go away the
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: inside scooping Bright Bart News eight at six here at
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: fifty five K Seed Talk station and very Happy Tuesday.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: To perfect timing. I think the timing was intentional, given
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: to the ahead that recent in and out shooting where
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: a seasoned citizen with a firearm actually probably saved a
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: lot of lives. We're gonna be talking with aw R.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: Hawkins from Breitbart. It's time for the bright bart inside scoop.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: Awr is an award winning second minute columnist for Breitbart.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: He else is the writer and curator of down Range
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: with a W. R. Hawkins, which I recommend you get
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: that weekly newsletter. He is, in his own description, a
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: lever action man in an ar fifteen world. Awr, my friend,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: welcome back to the fifty five Carson Morning Show. It's
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: alays a pleasure for having you on the show. Good
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: to be with you, buddy, my forty five seventy eleven friend. Okay,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: here we got a real issue here in Hamilton. Go ahead.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: You know that's my favorite round.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 4: I asked you.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: I told you I got myself one for Christmas last year,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: and when I asked you about that, you said, that's
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: my favorite round.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: Know what I like most about the forty five seventy
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: eight l you are is I'm a guy who likes
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: a really really healthy kick from a firearm, you know,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: like a handguns, revolvers, five hundred magnums of things. I
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: just get the biggest kick out of it. You get
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: a real nice solid booze from the forty five to
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: seventy lever action. Hand it to a friend who's not
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: used to shooting a firearm of that power and watch
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: the reaction when they squeeze the trigger. Most notably if
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: you put a plus P round in it, right right right?
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: No, I just love it, and I'll tell you who
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: hates it. Hogg state it. I hate it.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: I bring that rock for that is a showstopper for
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: all things basically. Anyhow, moving away from the forty five
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: to seventy lever action, let's talk about the judicial system.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: We have a problem here in Hamilton County, which is
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: where I'm speaking from. We've got judges who are soft
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: on crime. Judges who allow people to go out on
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: own recognizance rather than requiring a bond. Judges who are
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: extremely soft on crime. In spite of the fact that
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: they'll have they have a recidivus standing in front of them,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: demonstrably incapable of following the law, They'll still let them
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: off with a slap on the hand. You wrote about
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: this in Breitbart the other day, David Simpson. He was
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: convicted of manslaughter and yet let my listeners know what
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: happened with this guy.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they let him out, they released him on bond,
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: and within two hours of his release, he allegedly shot
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: one man and wounded him pretty bad and then killed
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: another again within two hours of his release. And the
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: manslaughter conviction. As bad as that is, that's not the
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: only part of his criminal history. That's not all of
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: his criminal history. Le's put it that way. He also
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: had a charge for being felling in possession of a firearm.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 9: That that charge, I.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: Believe still is still pending. And now he's going to
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: have that charge all over again because he fell in
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: the possession of the firearm when he allegedly shot these
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: two individuals within two hours of being released. I'm just
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: telling you, my man, I don't understand why we have
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: jails and prisons if we're not going to keep the
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: bad people in them. I just don't understand.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: I understand completely. I also understand that one of the
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: theories and and reality behind the criminal justice system is punishment.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: You know, it's you need to have good, solid punishment
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: as a warning to everybody else in the world, he
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: might go out and commit the same crimes what we
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: have here is a revolving door. Commit a crime, go in,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: get released with a slap on the hand. There is
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: no deterrent effect anymore. And AWR, let me hear what
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: you have to think about the future of this world.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: The Democratic Socialist of America get their way. Their platform
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: includes abolishing police and abolishing prisons. I have been struggling mightily,
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: aw Or to try to figure out what the world
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: would look like in a post police, post prison world.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: It doesn't look to me like a very safe place.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: It looks to me like it would be anarchy.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: Right, well, it looks to me like it would look
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: like this Simpson guy ad nauseam just he would be
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: he and people like him would be everywhere.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 11: And that is a problem.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: That's what we've had in Chicago for I don't know
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: how many decades. That's why Chicago has been what it is.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: So we already know what it's going to look like. No,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: it's not good. And well, yeah, this DSA movement you're
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: talking about, This has got to go the way of
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: the dinosaur immediately.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: It certainly does. I mean, how could anyone vote for
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: a future without prisons and without the police department, a
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: lawless future I am shocked. Well, we all kind of
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: figured out are there won't be police anymore. There will
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: be a well community activist, in other words, party affiliates,
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: maybe wearing brown shirts, going around and enforcing their version
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: of the law. Right right, right, all right, let's pivot
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: over Jordan Salinis. He is a hero, and he is
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: I think he stands out as an illustration of what
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: each and every one of my listeners could possibly be
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: the savior of lives by virtue of two things. One
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: owning a firearm and keeping it handy, but number two
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: training the critical element of training. Let's talk about what
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: he did the other day, the in and out burger.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: No, you're exactly right, Well, he he is the individual
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: everybody's seeing pictures of whoo who hugged the side of
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: the building and shot at the shooter and he threw
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: the shooter off. And and that's not my opinion. The
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: police have been very clear that they're confident that Jordan's
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: shots on the shooter forced the shooter to take his
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: eyes in his mind off the evil he intended to
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: do and seek cover for himself. And Jordan is a
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: stark reminder of so many things we could spend the
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: rest of our time together easily talking about him. But
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, number one, you're talking about an armed citizen
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 2: who had a handgun versus a shooter who had that
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: rifle that the Democrats tell us the most is the
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: most deadly and scurious rifle ever that it's that semi
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: automatic platform rifle that looks so militaristic and blah blah. Well,
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: Jordan had a handgun and he messed everything up because,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: as I've always said, the attacker's benefit is not the
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: type of weapon he uses, it is the element of surprise. Indeed,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: and what happened is the tables got flipped and the
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: surprise was on the attacker when Jordan pulled that gun
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 2: and started shooting. And that is how the Second Amendment
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: is designed to work.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: And fortunately he wasn't standing in a gun free zone
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: right outdoors, out there in the open. These gun free zones,
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: those are an invitation to craze shooters that go in
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: because again you talk about element of surprise. You are
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: dealing with the element of surprise with the citizen with
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: a firearm out of the world. But if you take
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: away our ability to carry a firearm anywhere any given
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: location that's cover for the crazies.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's it, and that's why we see the vast majority.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: I can't remember if it's ninety four percent or ninety
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: two percent, but if you look at all of the
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: things that go into a mass shooting, that that type
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: of high percentage occur in a place that is either
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: a pure gun for a zone, or at least a
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: place where restrictions are so great or regulations are so
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: great that it dissuades good people from being armed. And
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: that's where people attack because as crazy as they are,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: they're not completely stupid, and they want to attack in
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: a place where no one can shoot back.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's been demonstrated time and time again
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: to that point. We always find out they engage in
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: pretty extensive planning, these crazy gun and people, These these
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: people who go out and murder people, innocent people. I mean,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: they's usually well documented, well planned out ahead of time.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: So maybe they choose a location based upon it being
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: a gun free zone.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 9: Duh duh.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I mean you see it time and again.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 11: And I'll tell you what I hate that.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: It makes me hate mass attackers even more because ultimately
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: they're bullies. Ultimately, they're going to a place where people
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: have been tricked in to think and you'll be safe
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: here because it's quote unquote gun tree, and that's where
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 2: they attack and they're ultimately bullied. So I love when
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: they get theirs. I wish Jordan had been able to
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: put and I mean it with my whole heart. I
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: wish he had put a couple of rounds in the
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: sky and had taken him out before he could take
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: himself out. That's the only thing about what Jordan did
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: that I wish we could change. But again, applause to Jordan.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: What a brave man.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: I agree with you completely. I was dying to read
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: a sentence or two in an article that says he
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: actually he actually hit the guy. He didn't, but he was.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the distance was between him, but
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: you know, firearms at longer distances of using a handgun.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: Of course, I'm not going to be as accurate as
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: a long gun, but he did. Obviously the murderer was
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: aware that he was there and shooting at him, because
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: it did throw him off. The other component of this is,
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: and I emphasized it in a moment ago about training. Now,
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: I personally had experienced one time, thankfully only once in
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: my life, and that was one too many where I
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: had to pull out my own personal handgun to defend
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: my life. A guy tried to kill me on the expressway,
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: tried to me literally, and when we finally came to
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: a stop, I had my gun out as I exited
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: the car. But you know what, AWR, I actually was
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: not freaking out. I wasn't sweating bullets. I was in
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: fear of my life. Im an an aption. Apprehension of
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: grievous bodily harm or death justifies using a firearm and
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 1: self defense, and I definitely had that, But I was
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: calm and collected. You know why AWR is because I
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: knew I could use the firearm. I was confident in
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: my ability to use the firearm. And that's what comes
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: with just going to the range and squeezing off rounds regularly,
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: right right.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna add one thing too that not
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: only that, but thinking about it, being mentally prepared, like
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: I stretch the people all the time. I'm freeing. You
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: carry that gun every day, but that's not enough. You
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: have to train with it. You make that point, but
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: that's not enough. You have to be mentally alert. When
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: you go out, you watch your By watching your environment,
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: you're doing your part to take away that element of
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: surprise that the attacker could use. You pay attention to
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: your environment when you walk. I went, I did training
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: at a place and I'll never forget when I walk in,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: and it was hand to it. It was a firearm
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: training for a close quarter combat with firearms, and I
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: will remember that when this is a civilian class. When
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: we walk in the first thing the instructor said is
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 2: every one of you in here right now should have
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: thought how you can kill the people closest to you
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 2: if you need to, in case they are coming after you.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: And he was that's how he was trying to teach
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: us to observe. When you walk in a room, where's
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: an exit? How could I get my family out of
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: here if I needed to? How could I kill these
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: individuals if they turn out to be intent on killing me?
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. And he said, if you can go
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: through life like that doing that, then you do your
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: part to take the element of surprise away from the
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: would be attacker. And I think that's very important. I
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: think Jordan's demonstrated that because he talked about how he
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: trained for this moment.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, observe, orient, decide, and act. I believe where he
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: was the approach that he was a FORCEDEP approach that
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: he says he borrowed from the military, and he broke
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: it down that way. But that mental training, I think, obviously,
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: I think to a certain extent a w R, that's
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: going to be the most difficult challenge for people, because
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 1: when people hear what you just said and they the
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: reaction might be, you mean, I've got to go through
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: life with the mentality that everyone in the room might
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: try to kill me. That's not a mindset that I
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: want to take with me throughout life. I mean, it's
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: ultimately the best way to pretend to protect yourself as
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 1: well as the other innocent people in the room. But
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: that's kind of a that's a bigger challenge than even
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: going to the range of learning how to shoot proficiently.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: I agree, But I want to stress he's not saying
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: go in that room and hate those s peoples. No, no, no,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: or go in that room and want to hurt those people.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: He's not saying that. He's saying that you if right
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: now it all turns and there is a plan amongst
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: some or even one of them, to take your life.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: Do you have a plan, That's what he's saying. Do
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: you have a plan where not only you could stop that,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: but you can eliminate that threat. And you need to
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: be making one as soon as you come in the
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: room and start observing. And that's all he's saying. And
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: it is a plan for self preservation. It's not a
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: plan for hating somebody. It's not a plan for being
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: aloof or distant. It is just a plan. It's a
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: plan too if your family's with you. I stress this
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: to people all the time. You go out and eat
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: dinner and you take your family with you. Now do
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: you think our founders ever imagined we might do that
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 2: and not have a firearm with us? Do you think
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: they ever imagine that I might that I might go
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: to dinner and trust an agent of the state to
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: keep me safe. I mean, that's a ridiculous thought, it is,
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: But that's how some people live well.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: And you know, you talk about founding fathers, they lived
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: in time before there was organized police departments and militi.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: That's why we had militias taking care of our neighborhoods.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: We joined together to protect our own best interests, and
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: the fool is the one who's not looking out for
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: his own best interest. So I guess the one way
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: I want to look at this be prepared sort of
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: mentality you talk about is every time I my default
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: mindset when I drive into an empty parking garage, which
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: I do every morning here when I get into work
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: at three o'clock in the morning, is to do a
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: look around the area before I get out of my car.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: Are there any cars in the area? Do I notice them?
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: Do any of them look unfamiliar? And sometimes I've pulled
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: in and there'll be some person in a parked car
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: in the parking lot, which is kind of curious at
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: three o'clock in the morning, like, what's that person doing there?
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: I don't recognize the car of the individual. So I
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: have a heightened sense of awareness in a parking garage.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of women should have the same approach,
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: and maybe already do. So take that element of your
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: life and just extend it out to the bar, the restaurant,
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: the shopping mall, wherever you happen to be with you
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: or your family.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. You know, people come in to the
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: bar or the restaurant or whatever. And I do I
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 2: assess their thread level. I watch them. What are they
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: doing with their hands? Are they wearing heavy clothes on
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: a hot day? Why do they need heavy clothes on
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: a hot day? Or they cover something up. I'll just
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 2: keep my eyes on them. And I don't do this
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 2: to a degree that it keeps me from having fun.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 2: I think if you sit with any of my friends,
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you I'm probably one of the most fun
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: humans they've ever been with. But at the same time,
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: I am watching because one of my daughters is with
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: me a lot, or my wife is with me, and
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: so it's not only my life, but it's their life
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: that's at stake. And I don't want to be unprepared
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: or un alert when this when this person springs into action.

  Speaker 1: pleasure of mine. Eight twenty one is deep Dive.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 2: He is m I A.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's a pow, but he's currently missing
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: an action. So apologies that we won't get to hear
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: him from him today, because it was like, what in
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: the wide wide world of sports is going on? Donald
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: Trump over the weekend said hey, we're holding off on
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: the biggest strikes since World War Two. Iranians want to negotiate.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: They're begging me to negotiate, and then just yesterday they said.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: No, we're not.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: There's not any talks underway with the United States. We're
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: not meeting as he said we are. So I'm at
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: a loss. I suggested this morning. Is Iran playing Donald Trump?
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: Are they trying to make him out to look like
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: a fool. Do they set the stage for a peaceful
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: discussion and only to pull the plug on it, which
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: has happened before. I don't know. I was hoping. I
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: was hoping Daniel Davis could shed some light on that. Sadly,
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: again not here this morning, so we'll move on. I
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: got stories in front of you, but if you like
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: to chime in, I always love to hear from listeners.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: Five one three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk and pound five
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones and a shout out
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: for Abody. He makes the listener lunch on the heels
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: of a W. R. Hawkins, talking about, you know, staying
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: frosty and being prepared and having a handgun or a
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: firearm with you to help protect yourself, your family and
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: the public. I want to thank all those concealed carry
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: holders who show up at listener lunch, saving me the
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: need to carry my firearm and give me an opportunity
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: to enjoy a beer, which will be doing tomorrow at
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: High Grain Brewery in Brentwood, the Brentwood location. Good morning,
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: retired Colonel Bob Katire, who's one of those folks I
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: know has got my back and who is always one
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: hundred percent frosty. Anyway, it's property tax time since I
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: Public Schools voted six to one to rescind the previously
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: approved point seventy five percent earned income tax levee and
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: now moving and shifting over to a seven mil property
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: tax levee. Approve that five to one. Basically I think
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: was there was one abstention measure now heads to you,
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: the voter in November. You're going to vote for it, since,
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: say public schools, it's going to be two hundred and
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: forty five bucks per one hundred thousand dollars property value.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: I guess the powers it be felt a property tax
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: was better because somehow it doesn't shoulder the individual taxpayer
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: the income tax with the burden. But it still does.
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: How does it change the dynamic on that renters, You
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: are dealing with a component of your rent that includes
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: property tax. If the property tax bill goes up for
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: the owner of the property, guess who's going to get
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: the bill for it? Ultimately? Right, So anyway, and shouldering
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: the burden of additional property taxes. I don't know if
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: that's bodes well for the CPS, But will it get
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: residents in the city off their bottoms to go and
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: vote either before or four or against it. So district
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: allegedly facing a fifty eight point six million dollar budget
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: levee or budget deficit. They previously cut one hundred positions,
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: and they're worried about having to cut more. Declining enrollment.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: I might point out some suggest there's an ability to
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: consolidate some buildings and locations and schools. I think those
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: are worthy things to pursue regardless. Also, Hamilton County commissioners
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: voted yesterday to place an increased Children's Services tax levee
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: property tax levee on the November ballot as well. Welcome
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: to an additional one hundred and twenty one dollars for
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: every one hundred thousand on property. That's right, that's the
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: millage on the children's Hamilton County Job and Family Services program,
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: which is child abuse, neglect investigations, family reunification, adoption, foster
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: care support. So the reporting suggest and I'll give WCPO
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: reporting Connor's stuff and credit for this fact. I was
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: not aware they said. They reported that the levee helped
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: more than thirteen thousand children. And it's also reported that
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: even if the levee isn't renewed by voters, the county
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: is still legally required to fund these children's services. So
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: they say it's going to create a genuine budget train
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: wreck if you don't vote for this levee. So welcome
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: to higher property taxes or some problems associated with not
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: voting for them. Another reason to get out and vote.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: Look who's on the phone. I got to take a
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: quick break here though. For the callers that are online,
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: I'll be happy to take your call right out of
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: the gate, beginning with oh yeah, former Anderson Township trustee
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: Drew Pappas and Jay's on the phone as well. Any
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: comments about fraud this morning, Jay, we'll find out just
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: a second, don't go away. This is fifty five KRC
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: and thirty eight if fifty have pair CD talk station
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday five on three, seven hundred and eight two

  Speaker 1: to three talko with Pound five fifty on eight and
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: T phones just like Drew Pappis, did Jay hang on
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: your next mister Pappis, Welcome back to the Morning Show.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: Always love hearing from.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 11: You, mister Thomas. I didn't realize we were in such
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 11: formal uh setting here, but good good morning to you. Listen.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 11: I was I'm gonna comment here. I appreciate uh and
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 11: and actually mirror your passion this morning.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 9: I am.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 11: I'm at my wits end with this constant argument that
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 11: you know, taxes have to go up, taxes have to
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 11: go up. We got to increase taxes here, increase taxes there.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 11: And the folks that are in Hamilton County and especially
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 11: those within the sin Se Public School District are going
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 11: to really be double hit this time. And where my
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 11: thoughts go to is, you know, there's a lot of
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 11: people in Ohio, Cincinnati, Hamilton County that are on fixed incomes.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 11: And I get really offended when I hear people saying, well,
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 11: you know, it's only three hundred dollars per hundred thousand,
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 11: it's only twenty dollars a week, or it's only this,
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 11: or it's only that. Well, you know what, I want
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 11: you to go knock on those people's door that are
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 11: living on a fixed income and that month has to
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 11: come from somewhere. And I see these people, I know
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 11: some personally that are struggling to make ends meet because honestly, yes,
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 11: inflation is up. I'm not going to lie to you.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 11: Things are costing more, there's no doubt, and that's one
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 11: of the hopefully short term costs. But it seems to
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 11: be taking a little longer.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 9: Than I would have liked.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 11: This war that we have with Iran is trickling into
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 11: our everyday lives through increased fuel costs, which has manifested itself,
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 11: and other costs increases. But at the end of the day,
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 11: you know, yes, I understand there's children to help.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 9: I get it.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 11: I am not anti child in any way, shape or form, however,
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 11: and I reject that argument that if you are anti
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 11: increasing the Children's Services levee by the amount that the
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 11: was proposed yesterday, that somehow that means you're anti child.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 11: I am pro homeowner. What good does it do to
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 11: help a child by increasing the levee by this the
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 11: requested amount? When what you essentially do is you force
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 11: or toss a homeowner out of their homes? And where
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 11: do they And you're like, oh, that's type purple, that's
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 11: not gonna happen. Want to bet what happens when people
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 11: don't pay their property taxes? Brian, you're an attorney. What
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 11: happens then? What happens when they go to they have
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 11: they're forced to sell a home that they would love
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 11: to or they desire to grow old and pass away in,
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 11: and you're going to toss them out of that home?
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 11: Then what then They're going to be forced to what
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 11: find another home?
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 11: Really, home prices?
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 9: What are they like?
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 11: Or they're going to be forced into an apartment that
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 11: they probably can't afford either. I mean it's offensive to me.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 11: Where we sit nowadays, and you know what, I rejected,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 11: and I I just really I'm gonna vote. I mean
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 11: I do normally anyway, but I encourage her. You know,
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 11: until the politicians, the bureaucrats that that that constantly, they're
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 11: they're first and only answer, Oh, well, you know, we've
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 11: cut everywhere we can. Oh really, well, let's take a
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 11: look at it. Need I remind you daily we are
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 11: we are we You are given every single day examples
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 11: of the waste and fraud involved in government program after
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 11: government programs. And I'm not speculating here that and I'm
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 11: not accusing that there's any of that necessarily going on
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 11: in children protective services. However, guys, this hurts families. This
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 11: hurts people that senior living down the street. They can't
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 11: go you know, what do you want them to go
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 11: do to supplement their income to make up for your
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 11: your reach into their pocket, which is what it is.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 11: And a brilliant point you made today about unrealized capital
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 11: gains tying into this. You know, it's terrible. But until
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 11: we get serious about this, senior lives matter too, folks,
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 11: And you're just tossing these people out and you're making
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 11: them feel real unwanted, and I don't think it's the
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 11: I don't think it's the empathetic thing to do is
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 11: to just say, well, it's for the children. You must
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 11: be anti child, No, sir, they aren't mutually exclusive argument.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: Whether or not. There's sort of a two step problem
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 1: that goes along with this do I vote for it
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: or not? First off, you have to evaluate does the
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: government agency we're talking about here need the money? Is
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 1: the room for reforms, which somebody couldargue about since I
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: public schools, for example, but do they need it? Do
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: they deserve it? But then you pivot over to the
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: practical question of can I afford it? And if the
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: answer is no, I can't afford it. As much as
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: I love the CPS, or as much as I love
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: the children's services and what they're doing for children, I
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: don't have the money. I can't afford it to pay
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: the tax. So going it's a completely separate idea. You know,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: I love children, I want to help on but I'm sorry,
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: I'm tapped out.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 11: Correct, I'm tapped out, And you know, I know a
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 11: lot of people out there listening like you're damn right,
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 11: I'm tapped out, and it's offensive to me that your
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 11: knee jerk reaction is, oh, well, we'll just pass it along.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 11: And you know, as far as far as CPS goes,
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 11: it's so offensive. Oh we're going to have a property
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 11: says well, when that didn't fly because the Democrat party
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 11: said no, no, can't do that. That's going to turn
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 11: out a lot of people that are going to vote
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 11: against Democrats. You guys got to modify that. We'll just
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 11: do a tax increase on the property. Nobody gives it,
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 11: nobody cares about that. We'll just pass it along to
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 11: you know, everybody, right, right, And so they modified that.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 11: That wasn't a decision that they made on principle. That
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 11: was made on politics, because the powers that be want
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 11: desperately in the city to hold onto their power. And
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 11: they said, listen, we can't have a bunch of anti
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 11: amy acting voters show up this election cycle. So you've
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 11: got it. We can't give them a reason to drive
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 11: them out to the polls. They'll stay home quietly if
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 11: we just do a property tax increase, and they won't
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 11: care because we're just nibbling a little bit here and
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 11: a little bit there, and they.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 1: Don't really know this, right, But you know a lot
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: of people are renters in the city of Cincinnati, and
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you one of the reasons they pivot over
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: to a property tax, even though the renters will be
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: shouldering it as a portion of their rent, the renter
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: isn't going to realize that the increase in their rent
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: when they see it is directly attributable to the additional
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: property tax levy that they had passed. So ultimately everyone
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: shares the same burden if they're physically living within the
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: city limits.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 11: No question. People need people need to wake up. People
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 11: need to I mean, if this doesn't wake you up,
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 11: and if you have empathy for the people living in
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 11: your neighborhood that are on fixed income and in every
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 11: neighborhood to vote against these things and force the people
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 11: that were that voluntarily elected themselves to be in the
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 11: positions to make these hard decisions, to actually make hard
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 11: decisions and govern. Governing is hard, it is it's easy
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 11: to pass the buck. But you know what, that's the
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 11: reason you ran for the up, Not the photo ops,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 11: not the skinny jeans like our mayor likes to wear,
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 11: not the ribbon cutting, uh of events that you go
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 11: get to be the hero, because you've decided to cut
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 11: a ribbon where you're spending other people's money to open
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 11: something up. It's time to make the hard decisions that
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 11: elected officials should make.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: Rant over, Reverend and amen. And this is exactly why
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: I love having you call in, Drew. You should do
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: it more. Drew Pappas appreciate the phone call.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 2: Jay.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: You are next going to have to a quick break
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: here though, but please stay on the line. We'll take
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: your call. Looks like he's got a comment about doctor
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: Fauci eight forty six right now. If you have KRCD
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 1: talk station fifty five krc you grab KRCD talk station.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: I'm happy Tuesday five one three seven four fifty hundred
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: two three talk contact fifty on AT and T phones.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: You call, I'll eventually get to you. Thank you for
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: holding over the break there, Jay, Welcome to the program.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 3: Hey, thanks Brian. First of all, bravo to Drew Pappens.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 3: That was all done. One thing I will add to
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 3: that though. You know he talked about seniors being on
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 3: fixed income. Everybody is on fixed income. If you're a
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 3: W two employee, the only question on your annual performance
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 3: appraisal is it going to be three percent or five percent.
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 3: Nobody is getting ten percent raises or fifteen percent that's
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 3: going to keep up with real inflation. So I would
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 3: say fixed income isn't just for retired seniors anymore. There's
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 3: there's working people that can be priced out of their
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 3: houses with these with these property taxes.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: Well, I will ask them, behalf a Joe Stractor and
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: other employees here, if you're working for a place you
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: get three to five percent a wage increase annually. Where
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: is that place and are there any openings there? I
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: asked them, Joe, Yeah.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 6: That's that's my point.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 3: I always hear fixed income for the retirees.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 3: That's that's every working person out there right now, fixed
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 3: income with inflation being what it is.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: And you know, that's a great point, the inflationary realities.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: Every single place you turn, everything is more expensive. They're
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 1: whittling away here and whittling away there. Your subscriptions are
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 1: more expensive, your energy bill has gone through the roof,
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: and for a lot of reasons, you know, government policy
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: dictates a lot of this. They have done this to us.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: It didn't have to be that expensive, but they made
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: it that expensive. So they're just taking another opportunity to
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: whittle away a little more disposable income to the point
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: where we won't have any disposable in that's the direction
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: we find ourselves.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which brings me to the real point. That real
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 3: reason I called in. I read on Newsmax that Trump
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 3: was talking about that Exon and Chevron, two US oil producers,
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 3: that they had made outsized quote outsized profits and with
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 3: these windfalls, and they need to give it back to
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 3: the people through reducing gas prices. Which now is not
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 3: the time to go full on commy this close to.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 9: The midterms.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 3: But aren't we being attacked on both sides here? We
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 3: think the Democrats have the monopoly on communism. There's a
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 3: guy in the White House who printed the money, who
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 3: spends like crazy. I won't say a drunken sailor because
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 3: I know our sub mariner friend takes offense to that
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 3: spends money like crazy. You know ran the printing printing presses,
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 3: no physical hawk is Donald Trump. And by the way,
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 3: one bedroom apartment Trump Tower. You can get that, Brian
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 3: for about nine grand a month. Is that oversized profits?
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 3: Hold it gets coming back. That's one of his businesses.
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 3: So when we have a sitting conservative quote president talking
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 3: about that he's going to set prices and dictate. He's
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 3: done this to Walmart, He's done it to beef producers.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 3: He told the ranchers out west, you better lower your
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 3: beef prices. He better get off this welcome because it
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 3: is flat on communism coming out of DC. When you
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 3: have a sitting president trying to set prices, how about
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 3: you go after the airlines that are making a billion
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 3: dollar profit. After we did round after round after round
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 3: after round of COVID bailout, Well how about you do that.
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 3: We get some more headlines on where's the fraud Task Force?
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 3: Let's get hot on that.
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: Well, we just spent we had. Jada Vance made a
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty billion dollar announcement last Friday. I
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: talked about that in the morning show. I was thinking
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: about you, and I started talking about a matter of fact,
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: I might even mention your name. So there's two hundred
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: and thirty billion with AB there. They were to stop
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: payment on fifty six billion with a B and the
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 1: work's not done. So it's going on. I just say
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: wait for it. It's a slow process, but ultimately least
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 1: someone's doing the job. But back to your point, I
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: agree with it completely because I wrote on the article
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: Trump blast big oil companies for making too much money
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: the words class warfare. This is exactly the same argument
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: that Joe Biden made when he was president. What else
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: did Joe Biden do? Jay, He released a whole bunch
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 1: of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve. What else
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: is Trump doing? Same thing? You know, I don't think
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: class warfare is a way to go. I share your
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: criticism mister Trump on that particular point. Yeah, we're paying
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: a lot for gasoline. Why well, the straight of horror
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: moves is closed. And I know people right now are
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: quick to say, well, wait a minute, who's responsible for that?
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not beating up on Trump. I understand the practical
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 1: realities of our dealings with the Iranians, but things like
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: this do have a downside risk, and we are dealing
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: with the downside risk of that conflict. And nobody wants
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: me more than me that the conflict to be resolved,
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 1: hopefully in our best interest. But we seem to be
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: in a quagmire in the conflict. So yeah, he does
• 2:09:03
