1:46
Speaker 1: I've used that before only for exercises and comedic relief,
1:50
Speaker 1: like song lyrics for Greta Thunberg, which was I thought
1:54
Speaker 1: that was hilarious. Anyway, Scott Wortman from the Cincinni Inquirer
2:00
Speaker 1: been doing some reporting on what's going on in the
2:03
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati, which we can start with this morning.
2:05
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the council race and the mayoral race
2:08
Speaker 1: between aftab and of course on the rundown, it's not
2:13
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman, it's Jade Vance's half brother. We have to
2:15
Speaker 1: ask Scott Wortman White he keeps referring to him as
2:18
Speaker 1: Jade Vance's half brother as opposed to Corey Bowman, who's
2:21
Speaker 1: actually running for the mayor of Cincinnati. So anyhow, Jay
2:27
Speaker 1: Ratliff's on the bar. And if you can get a
2:29
Speaker 1: chance to listen live to the podcast, I five care
2:31
Speaker 1: see dot com Daniel Davis deep dive in the developments
2:33
Speaker 1: in the Middle East and Russian and Ukraine. Inside Scoop
2:36
Speaker 1: with Bright Barton News Nick gilbertson the White House, Capitol
2:40
Speaker 1: Hill reporter. Also on the amazing unfolding of the peace
2:45
Speaker 1: agreement between Israel and Hamas. Apparently there's still some Hamas
2:51
Speaker 1: murders going on, some executions in the street and in
2:54
Speaker 1: fighting among the various factions, which I did talk about
2:56
Speaker 1: with Daniel Davis yesterday. Aaron Weiner, since a city council
3:01
Speaker 1: I thought he had some really sound ideas for dealing
3:03
Speaker 1: with the police and pivoting over the police. We had
3:05
Speaker 1: FOP President Ken Kober talking about the violence downtown Monday night,
3:09
Speaker 1: which has led through the mayor to realize, yes, there
3:11
Speaker 1: is an election coming up, so I better do something.
3:14
Speaker 1: Since I've been ignoring the reality of crime and telling
3:16
Speaker 1: everyone that it doesn't exist. It's not a problem. Oh no, no,
3:19
Speaker 1: your perception is wrong. There's no crime. It's all down
3:22
Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati and not. According to his announcement yesterday,
3:29
Speaker 1: I have to have Pearlvall says, more actions going to
3:32
Speaker 1: be taken to try to halt the criminal problem we
3:35
Speaker 1: have downtown. Mayor call it on ongoing gun violence. Absolutely
3:42
Speaker 1: intolerable quote absolutely intolerable, close quote the gun violence. We
3:46
Speaker 1: had a couple of shootings in the last couple of days,
3:47
Speaker 1: but that's been a common occurrence a SAW statistic. Maybe
3:51
Speaker 1: it was in the Fox nineteen reporting on the number
3:54
Speaker 1: of Based on the data, there have been two hundred
3:57
Speaker 1: and twenty five gun violence victims since the beginning of
4:02
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five January through October fourteenth two one hundred
4:08
Speaker 1: and twenty five gun violence victims, most of whom between
4:10
Speaker 1: the ages of twenty six and thirty or in the
4:12
Speaker 1: other age group between the ages of sixteen and twenty.
4:17
Speaker 1: Most of the shootings over the Rhine District one, Winton
4:21
Speaker 1: Hills District four, Avondale District four, West End District one,
4:24
Speaker 1: Wallet Hills District two, and the Central Business District coming
4:29
Speaker 1: in at number seven apparently in terms of volume of crime,
4:32
Speaker 1: although you only hear about the violence in the Business district.
4:36
Speaker 1: So the civil perv All announced several new safety measures
4:41
Speaker 1: since he hasn't really done anything before. The and Corey
4:45
Speaker 1: Bowman's were the reactive nature of Mayor a f tab
4:48
Speaker 1: Pervall's policies as opposed to being proactive and getting in
4:52
Speaker 1: front of them in response to the gun violence, perv
4:57
Speaker 1: All announce and policies. First, the civil disturbance response team
5:02
Speaker 1: and swat. We'll be on the ground of Fountain Square
5:06
Speaker 1: from two pm to ten pm every day. Hey Joe,
5:12
Speaker 1: is there violence after ten pm in that area? Yeah? Right,
5:18
Speaker 1: Oh no, everyone's going to bed. That's because his curfew
5:21
Speaker 1: has been expanded. Hm hm, that's right. Purple Planning Team
5:26
Speaker 1: is going to be introducing new legislation to city council
5:29
Speaker 1: members to enforce an earlier curfew in the Fountain Square district. Well,
5:37
Speaker 1: what about the other areas that are having problems with
5:40
Speaker 1: violent crime that I just mentioned in order? I guess
5:44
Speaker 1: it sucks to be you. So if you live on
5:48
Speaker 1: Fountain Square, I guess you're going to see an increase
5:50
Speaker 1: in police presence. It says the warning. Just if you
5:56
Speaker 1: are an unsupervised team, he said, and you're breaking curfe
6:00
Speaker 1: you we will move you or we will arrest you.
6:08
Speaker 1: He says. It doesn't go for just those breaking curfew
6:10
Speaker 1: and Fountain Square. He says, it's everywhere within the urban core.
6:16
Speaker 1: I don't know what the definition of urban core is.
6:19
Speaker 1: I would like to think that if you have a
6:21
Speaker 1: curfew in the city of Cincinnati would apply equally to
6:23
Speaker 1: all the neighborhoods, because all the neighborhoods apparently are reporting
6:25
Speaker 1: some measure of criminal problems.
6:28
Speaker 3: And what.
6:30
Speaker 1: Concern what parent who really cares about the well being
6:33
Speaker 1: of their young people would let their kids run around
6:36
Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati in the middle of the night.
6:41
Speaker 1: Merrik says, it's also talking with SORDA officials to try
6:44
Speaker 1: to deconcentrate transportation from Government Square. Give Mary Labus over
6:50
Speaker 1: Fox nineteen reporting for the quote that I just read,
6:52
Speaker 1: which cracks me up, because Ken Kober talked about that.
6:55
Speaker 1: Why in the hell are we dumping all of the
6:58
Speaker 1: school aged children at Governor Square? He said, you know,
7:02
Speaker 1: that's close to all kinds of businesses, businesses that are
7:04
Speaker 1: open and stay open in later hours, giving me young
7:07
Speaker 1: people a reason to hang around in Government Square. So
7:11
Speaker 1: you get different youngsters from different areas of town who
7:14
Speaker 1: apparently don't get along with each other. It's almost like
7:16
Speaker 1: gang members. They're not gang members necessarily, they're just from
7:19
Speaker 1: different hoods. So, yeah, you're from over there, I'm from
7:22
Speaker 1: over here. Let's fight, let's have a disagreement. Let's be
7:26
Speaker 1: basically teenagers being idiots, which all teenagers tend to be
7:29
Speaker 1: idiots from time to time anyway, But when you're shoving
7:32
Speaker 1: them all into a concentrated environment like Government Square with
7:34
Speaker 1: a lot of things to do around it, you end
7:37
Speaker 1: up with a problem on your hands. So Ken Cobra says,
7:39
Speaker 1: how about that Second Street transferre transfer area. There is
7:44
Speaker 1: a site that was built for the purpose of doing
7:47
Speaker 1: exactly what is done in Government Square, except there's nothing around.
7:51
Speaker 1: It's this big concrete area, no draw Second Street. So
7:57
Speaker 1: if you just move the pick up drop off point
8:00
Speaker 1: over to there, there's no reason for the teens to
8:02
Speaker 1: hang out after they get dropped off or picked or
8:04
Speaker 1: well dropped off. So is that what I have to have?
8:08
Speaker 1: Parwall's now considering de concentrating transportation from Government Square. It's
8:13
Speaker 1: got to go somewhere. Maybe he was listening to my
8:15
Speaker 1: conversation with Ken Kober yesterday, don't know.
8:21
Speaker 4: So.
8:22
Speaker 1: Parwall's comments come in response to in the aftermath of
8:29
Speaker 1: as a reaction to the shootings happening outside the City
8:33
Speaker 1: Bird on Fountain Square, which were reported on Monday, two
8:36
Speaker 1: to three shots into the business windows. A sixteen year
8:38
Speaker 1: old boy nineteen year old man both shot. According to
8:43
Speaker 1: police Chief Teresa Thiji, the suspect in the shooting quote
8:47
Speaker 1: no newcomer to crime close quote describing him as a
8:51
Speaker 1: twenty four year old man who is previously convicted of
8:54
Speaker 1: two counts of Flonius assault in February of this year
8:58
Speaker 1: and is currently on probation. How's that working out for
9:02
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system? And so also perhaps in a
9:14
Speaker 1: related note with a nod to signal ninety nine, which
9:19
Speaker 1: I would recommend you follow on Facebook, I think current
9:23
Speaker 1: or former police officer Signal ninety nine. A woman who
9:27
Speaker 1: regularly comments about the realities going on in downtown Cincinnati
9:31
Speaker 1: cited this as a connection to crime, although Brittany Ruby Miller,
9:37
Speaker 1: the CEO of Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment, in this statement
9:41
Speaker 1: didn't really necessarily say it was crime that was getting
9:44
Speaker 1: them out of the neighborhood. They are leaving the neighborhood.
9:49
Speaker 1: We made a difficult decision to choose to close Lempka
9:52
Speaker 1: our events space and relocate our corporate offices would share
9:56
Speaker 1: a building at seven hundred Wall Street due to a
9:58
Speaker 1: landlord dispute regarding safety protocols. She writes. While recent news
10:04
Speaker 1: is highlighted the broader challenges downtown, including crime around Fountain Square,
10:08
Speaker 1: this decision is unrelated, right sure, it is? It underscores
10:13
Speaker 1: how critical strong and collaborative relationships with building owners and
10:16
Speaker 1: landlords are during these times. Jefferby's Catering will continue to
10:19
Speaker 1: operate out of our existing restaurants, and we remain deeply
10:25
Speaker 1: committed to the City of Cincinnati and look forward to
10:27
Speaker 1: sharing our updates soon. But this is that statement from
10:29
Speaker 1: yesterday saying that we're closing this facility and moving someplace else.
10:36
Speaker 1: Notice that she didn't specify where they're moving. But Brittany
10:44
Speaker 1: gave a statement to Fox nineteen about the violence specifically,
10:47
Speaker 1: aside from the closing announcement, this is a separate statement.
10:50
Speaker 1: Like so many community leaders and citizens, I am deeply
10:53
Speaker 1: frustrated not only by the violence of the Curtain Fountain
10:55
Speaker 1: Square last night, the shooting at City Bard, but also
10:59
Speaker 1: by the continued pattern of crime our city has experienced
11:02
Speaker 1: in recent months. She said. Over the past three months,
11:05
Speaker 1: I dedicated significant time in meeting bi weekly with the
11:09
Speaker 1: Mayor and staying in close communication with sin Say Please
11:11
Speaker 1: Department in Hamil County, share ourselfice Governor Mike Dwinesteam Senators
11:14
Speaker 1: Marino in Houston, including conversations as recent as this morning yesterday.
11:19
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that with the next twenty four hours there
11:21
Speaker 1: will be an announcement outlining a robust strategy to aggress
11:25
Speaker 1: these ongoing issues crime, which Mayor afteb Perval did in
11:31
Speaker 1: making his announcement. While we may not always see eye
11:35
Speaker 1: to ie, am grateful to our city leadership listens and
11:38
Speaker 1: remains open to feedback. I also want to acknowledge she
11:41
Speaker 1: writes that I am not the only business leader stepping up.
11:46
Speaker 1: This has been a heavy lift for all of us,
11:48
Speaker 1: and many key leaders across our cities share the sentiment
11:52
Speaker 1: and are working tirelessly behind the scenes to drive meaningful
11:55
Speaker 1: change and restore safety and confidence downtown. And then skipping
12:07
Speaker 1: ahead the closing sentence, and I thought this was rather revealing.
12:14
Speaker 1: And it's open voting right now, Hamilton County Board of Elections.
12:19
Speaker 1: Head on over and vote. The November election is fast approaching.
12:25
Speaker 1: And here's what her closing sentence was. Change only happens
12:31
Speaker 1: when the pain of staying the same exceeds the pain
12:35
Speaker 1: of change. And to the voters in the City of Cincinnati,
12:39
Speaker 1: do you plan on staying the same or has the
12:47
Speaker 1: pain exceeded the pain that you may or perhaps may
12:53
Speaker 1: not feel if you vote for a change if things
12:57
Speaker 1: aren't good now and you have an opportunity to go
12:59
Speaker 1: in a different direct action. As Corey Bowman said, anything
13:01
Speaker 1: that you flat out disagree with with regard to his
13:04
Speaker 1: perceptions of crime and his ideas about how to deal
13:07
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, nothing frightening there. Five eighteen fifty five
13:17
Speaker 1: Care see the talk station. Feel free to chime in,
13:19
Speaker 1: love to hear from you. Always love when listeners call in,
13:21
Speaker 1: so you can do that. Five one three seven four
13:23
Speaker 1: nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
13:24
Speaker 1: three talk. I'll be right back.
13:26
Speaker 5: Take a look at what's going on every single day.
13:33
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm going to go over to the phones. Get
13:35
Speaker 1: Jay here. Five and three seven eight hundred two three talk.
13:38
Speaker 1: I just got an email from a judge Editapolitano saying
13:41
Speaker 1: he's going to really miss our conversation this morning. He
13:43
Speaker 1: is traveling abroad and just wanted to reply to the
13:46
Speaker 1: good judge there. Jay, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome
13:49
Speaker 1: back my friend.
13:51
Speaker 6: Hey, thanks Brian, glad you're failing better?
13:53
Speaker 1: Oh amazing, Like night and day man crazy.
13:57
Speaker 6: My kid went through that and we didn't know what
14:02
Speaker 6: was going on and going on YouTube found that same
14:04
Speaker 6: procedure and it's amazing.
14:07
Speaker 7: So I didn't think of it.
14:09
Speaker 6: Some other smarter collar did, which is a good reason.
14:12
Speaker 6: You've got a lot of callers out there, some brighter
14:14
Speaker 6: than others.
14:14
Speaker 1: So if you are experiencing this, it's a vertigo. It's
14:19
Speaker 1: like positional vertigo, I think, is what they call it.
14:21
Speaker 7: Bpp V.
14:23
Speaker 1: Look up Epley ep l e Y maneuver. It's easy.
14:28
Speaker 1: Lay on the side of the bed. It takes like
14:30
Speaker 1: five minutes to go through the whole thing. And I
14:32
Speaker 1: did it twice yesterday and I am completely vertigo free.
14:36
Speaker 1: So I may have to do this from time to time,
14:38
Speaker 1: but it is considered the gold standard to deal with it.
14:40
Speaker 1: There are no drugs that can hear the problem. There's
14:43
Speaker 1: nothing else you can really do. But if you've got this,
14:46
Speaker 1: it's it worked. So thank you to my listener who
14:49
Speaker 1: identified the problem. Then whoever recommended Epley maneuver. I found
14:54
Speaker 1: it on YouTube, so there you have it.
14:55
Speaker 6: Jay, Well, good, well, I want to just give the
14:58
Speaker 6: daily update. We're up to seventy billion dollars saved. However, however,
15:05
Speaker 6: twenty billion dollars was given to Argentina by President Trump yesterday.
15:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get all that.
15:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're going to buy their democracy. It's a I
15:14
Speaker 6: don't know if you've ever heard about this or not,
15:15
Speaker 6: but it's a proven track record. You could take a
15:19
Speaker 6: look at North Vietnam, North Korea, around the globe. I
15:24
Speaker 6: think probably even we threw money at China once upon
15:26
Speaker 6: a time. It works out really well. Did you just
15:30
Speaker 6: take taxpair dollars and throw it at a country that
15:33
Speaker 6: might be teetering to go back to socialism or communism
15:36
Speaker 6: and not, you know, choose freedom. You take tax pair
15:39
Speaker 6: of dollars and you throw it at them, and it
15:41
Speaker 6: works every time it's tried.
15:42
Speaker 1: Hey, Jay, is just like paying young people to not
15:45
Speaker 1: commit crimes?
15:48
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so. I think so.
15:50
Speaker 6: It's like a guy like a gun buy back. It's
15:54
Speaker 6: all good, all good government ideas. Speaking of which I
15:59
Speaker 6: thought yesterday you said it very succinctly about the property tax,
16:05
Speaker 6: and I don't remember exactly how you said it, but
16:10
Speaker 6: more or less I'm going to paraphrase it, maybe to
16:13
Speaker 6: kind of bound it or put it in a box.
16:16
Speaker 6: A little bit better is that whenever people run for government,
16:20
Speaker 6: they've asked for the job. Just like in my career,
16:23
Speaker 6: there have been times where I have walked into businesses
16:25
Speaker 6: that have been on fire bad. One was losing thirty
16:29
Speaker 6: million dollars a year, was a cash cow and then
16:32
Speaker 6: all of a sudden losing money. And when you take
16:34
Speaker 6: those jobs, you know it's risk high reward. You're going
16:38
Speaker 6: to be part of the turnaround team or you're not
16:41
Speaker 6: going to be there very long. They will find someone
16:43
Speaker 6: else who can figure out how to manage the business
16:46
Speaker 6: to get it back on its feat And that's exactly
16:50
Speaker 6: what we heard your number one. We did Okay, we
16:53
Speaker 6: were still losing money, and word on high came down,
16:57
Speaker 6: are you guys the team or just another team, because
16:59
Speaker 6: we'll have to go find other people if you don't
17:02
Speaker 6: get it together. We didn't make the problem, but we
17:05
Speaker 6: asked for the job. And same thing with everybody who's
17:08
Speaker 6: sitting up in Columbus doing nothing. They've had twenty years
17:13
Speaker 6: and is still I still don't even understand why we
17:15
Speaker 6: have to do a petition drive when the Supreme Court
17:19
Speaker 6: said you can't fund schools through property tax? Where is
17:23
Speaker 6: the is the Attorney General the right person who would
17:26
Speaker 6: be stepping in on this bride? Who is the right person?
17:29
Speaker 1: I think we lack an enforcement mechanism. You know, the
17:32
Speaker 1: whole concept of standing to go into court. You might think, well,
17:36
Speaker 1: they're violating the Supreme Court ruling that says our current
17:40
Speaker 1: funding mechanism is unconstitutional. That, Jay, you could stand up
17:45
Speaker 1: and say, I want to be the plaintiff who sues
17:47
Speaker 1: the State of Ohio for failing to heed the Supreme
17:50
Speaker 1: Court decision and reform our school funding mechanism. But I
17:53
Speaker 1: don't think you have standing to do that. Who does
17:56
Speaker 1: maybe at one of the elected officials probably reluctant to
17:59
Speaker 1: engage that. But it's a very complicated issue, as evidence
18:03
Speaker 1: by the fact that more than two decades have passed
18:05
Speaker 1: since we were told our current funding mechanisms unconstitutional. So yeah, would.
18:12
Speaker 6: It be something that it was just that easy if
18:14
Speaker 6: some person would raise their hand or probably apearing General's office,
18:18
Speaker 6: it's a hey, I'd like it.
18:19
Speaker 1: Sounds like a great idea, Jay, And nobody wants to
18:22
Speaker 1: gravitate towards that than me. Until you realize that we
18:28
Speaker 1: have three hundred and forty million people in our country
18:31
Speaker 1: and probably half of them would run into court and
18:34
Speaker 1: start trying to enforce what they perceived to be a
18:37
Speaker 1: violation of the law, because well, they formerly lack standing
18:40
Speaker 1: and run into court to do that. Yeah, I think
18:43
Speaker 1: there would be an overwhelming number of people. There's some
18:46
Speaker 1: middle ground in there. I don't know how to reach
18:48
Speaker 1: the middle grounds where we can have a rational lawsuit, Like,
18:52
Speaker 1: wait a second, doesn't it seem ripe for a resolution
18:56
Speaker 1: in court if our elected officials are continuing to violate
18:59
Speaker 1: the law.
19:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know, it might might be a great
19:02
Speaker 6: question for AFT along. And I don't mean to, like,
19:06
Speaker 6: you know, tell you what to do on your show,
19:08
Speaker 6: but I would also love for AFT. They did such
19:12
Speaker 6: a great job with that Foyer request years ago where
19:15
Speaker 6: they forced the government to reveal Medicaid fraud by state.
19:21
Speaker 6: They call it improper payments. That's cleaning up the right word,
19:23
Speaker 6: which is fraud.
19:25
Speaker 1: They were hurry up out of the time, you know, hurry up,
19:28
Speaker 1: r out of time.
19:28
Speaker 6: All right, all right, Hey, don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat,
19:32
Speaker 6: And as Bobby says, don't feed the pig.
19:34
Speaker 7: Have a good day, Brian.
19:35
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to push you to the conclusion, but we
19:37
Speaker 1: had to get there. Five twenty eight fifty five care
19:38
Speaker 1: see the Talk stations A Happy One Big Picture with
19:42
Speaker 1: Jack Evan at seven oh five, our first guest on
19:44
Speaker 1: the morning show. Calls are always welcome here. You're going
19:47
Speaker 1: to pivot over to the phones at five, one, three,
19:48
Speaker 1: seven fifty two to three talk and take Tom's call.
19:53
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Tom. I always good to hear from you.
19:55
Speaker 9: They're good morning. And I just passed Cincinnati Date Road
19:59
Speaker 9: and prices are per gas are pretty low. How much
20:03
Speaker 9: people know they're in the area. Well, I saw on
20:07
Speaker 9: the sign two forty four. Uh. And so if you
20:11
Speaker 9: have a loyalty thing with a particular national chain, you
20:16
Speaker 9: get it into two thirties. Wow, yep, yes, so good,
20:20
Speaker 9: good stuff.
20:21
Speaker 1: I wish I had a cost of living calculator and
20:23
Speaker 1: I could calculate how much a gallon of gas was,
20:25
Speaker 1: say ten years ago, and compared to today. So I
20:28
Speaker 1: suspect well cheaper today than it was ten years ago.
20:32
Speaker 9: Yeah, if I remember correctly Trump's last term, there was
20:37
Speaker 9: an average price thrown around and it was into two thirties.
20:42
Speaker 9: So yeah, bad.
20:44
Speaker 1: For the value of the dollar has decreased dramatically since
20:47
Speaker 1: we threw like eight trillion dollars of printed currency into
20:51
Speaker 1: these systems since then.
20:53
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just money, It's just money. Yeah, it's theirs.
20:57
Speaker 9: It's it's just money. It's only money, right, Brian, Yeah, exactly.
21:01
Speaker 9: But but let's get Jay back in here talking with you.
21:05
Speaker 9: It's uh, I wanted to switch gears real quick. We're
21:09
Speaker 9: talking about the crime uh down downtown, and I there's
21:13
Speaker 9: there's a lot of things that contribute to the crime everywhere,
21:17
Speaker 9: not not just in Cincinnati. But we we had a
21:20
Speaker 9: particular incident on one of our job sites. We're a
21:23
Speaker 9: young man and and this story is about this young man.
21:26
Speaker 9: It's not about everybody else that's like him. I want
21:29
Speaker 9: to make that clear to anybody listening. So young man
21:32
Speaker 9: comes on the job site. He is in clear violation
21:35
Speaker 9: of one of our safety rules, which we we we
21:37
Speaker 9: have been hammering for a long time. Just there's things
21:41
Speaker 9: that we have to do at work safety wise, and
21:44
Speaker 9: it's not optional, it's not negotiable. Uh So uh, he
21:48
Speaker 9: comes in in the morning, he's a clear violation. He's
21:50
Speaker 9: asked to leave, go home and try this again. One
21:53
Speaker 9: of the things that we have at our disposal is
21:55
Speaker 9: foreman for corrective measures is send people home. Right you're
21:59
Speaker 9: you're you're done for the day, whether it's half a
22:02
Speaker 9: day or whatever. You know, go home. You violated a rule,
22:05
Speaker 9: and it's and it's a rather egregious rule. Will this
22:08
Speaker 9: young man decides he doesn't want to go home, and
22:11
Speaker 9: he decides to make a scene, and what a scene
22:14
Speaker 9: it was, and just absolutely go off on anyone and
22:18
Speaker 9: everyone that he could possibly think of, and and uh,
22:22
Speaker 9: just raise a big ruckus make there in front of
22:24
Speaker 9: everybody else. And it's just a young black man. And
22:28
Speaker 9: he decides to turn things racial and accuse people of
22:31
Speaker 9: being racist because he's being sent home, uh, for violating
22:36
Speaker 9: a rule that he violated. Nobody made him do anything,
22:39
Speaker 9: nobody else contributed to it. He's the one that broke
22:42
Speaker 9: this rule.
22:42
Speaker 1: And I presume the rule, the rule was and they
22:45
Speaker 1: he violated had no connection with his race.
22:48
Speaker 10: Absolutely.
22:50
Speaker 9: Other people of other races have all have been sent
22:56
Speaker 9: home very recently by the same foreman. So it's you know,
23:00
Speaker 9: but this guy, he decides that that's what where he's
23:02
Speaker 9: gonna go with it to the to the point where
23:04
Speaker 9: I mean, he it took a while to give him
23:06
Speaker 9: off the job, and that's the shase. But it's it's
23:09
Speaker 9: it's you're violating a rule, a well known rule. It's
23:12
Speaker 9: obvious that you need to do these things. We've made
23:15
Speaker 9: it very clear to you. We've had discussions upon discussions
23:19
Speaker 9: and it and it turns to like races and excuse
23:23
Speaker 9: and so again, this story is about this young man
23:27
Speaker 9: and and what we and I and I know this
23:29
Speaker 9: young man. I I've I've met him, I've he's worked
23:32
Speaker 9: on jobs I've been on before, I've dealt with stuff
23:34
Speaker 9: with him. You know, Uh, it's not a shot what happened,
23:37
Speaker 9: but uh, now determined to go a little farther, whether
23:42
Speaker 9: we have seen other other things happen in our community
23:46
Speaker 9: and in the country where racism is being brought up
23:49
Speaker 9: for excuses. It's a it's a deflection, it's an excuse,
23:53
Speaker 9: it's a reason and it and and it's been drummed
23:56
Speaker 9: into people's heads by the left that race is an excuse.
24:02
Speaker 9: There are some terrible things that have happened, absolutely no
24:05
Speaker 9: one's denying it. There is racism that has gone on systemically,
24:10
Speaker 9: and there are still things that happen daily that are racist.
24:15
Speaker 9: But it is not an excuse. And when you pull
24:18
Speaker 9: it out of thin air and apply it to something
24:21
Speaker 9: has nothing to do with what's going on, you are
24:24
Speaker 9: making a fool of yourself. You are showing people that
24:29
Speaker 9: it doesn't matter what is right or what is wrong.
24:32
Speaker 9: I have an excuse, well, and I'm going to make
24:35
Speaker 9: such a ruckus that you're going to let me get
24:37
Speaker 9: away with whatever. And that's just not going to happen.
24:40
Speaker 1: No any what else. Tom, and I've mentioned this before,
24:43
Speaker 1: you're doing a disservice to those who actually experience genuine
24:47
Speaker 1: episodes of racism. You're watering down the argument to delegitimize
24:52
Speaker 1: it under all circumstances, Like the boy who cried wolf.
24:56
Speaker 1: You know, at one point, it's really going to be
24:58
Speaker 1: a wolf, and everybody's going to be sick of hearing
24:59
Speaker 1: you screaming about it and not believe you.
25:02
Speaker 9: All right, And this young man even went so far
25:05
Speaker 9: as to rip people for being Charlie Kirk supporters, as
25:10
Speaker 9: if Charlie Kirk had anything.
25:12
Speaker 5: To do with this issue.
25:14
Speaker 9: I mean so, And again, this story is about this
25:18
Speaker 9: particular individual, and I'm not applying this to everybody else.
25:22
Speaker 9: We have all seen people. We have all seen people
25:26
Speaker 9: locally and nationally who decide to go off a rabbit trail,
25:30
Speaker 9: away from a discussion, away from an issue, and talk
25:33
Speaker 9: about something that has nothing to do with what's going on,
25:36
Speaker 9: and won't stay on topic because they can't. They can't
25:40
Speaker 9: defend their position because there is no defense of their position.
25:44
Speaker 9: And it doesn't matter what side of the isle you're on.
25:46
Speaker 9: Stay on topic, deal with the discussion, answer the question,
25:50
Speaker 9: actually talk about the subject at hand, and don't go
25:54
Speaker 9: off a rabbit trail. It's like people talk about any
25:56
Speaker 9: given subject and all of a sudden, we're talking about Trump.
25:59
Speaker 9: What the hell does Trump got to do? And we
26:01
Speaker 9: you know, it varies so and and obviously the side
26:05
Speaker 9: that is most guilty of this will be the left,
26:08
Speaker 9: and they especially going with racism. The race card is
26:11
Speaker 9: pulled out time and time again when it has nothing
26:14
Speaker 9: to do with anything, and it and you need if
26:17
Speaker 9: you're in a position where you got decisions to make,
26:20
Speaker 9: you have to learn to ignore that stuff. If you're
26:22
Speaker 9: going into a voting boot, you have to ignore that
26:25
Speaker 9: noise and that crap and and and get rid of
26:29
Speaker 9: people who are not doing any good for society or
26:32
Speaker 9: not helping, who are just coming up with prat throwing
26:35
Speaker 9: it out there just to make it seem like you're
26:37
Speaker 9: trying to do something pure boll and, and they're not
26:41
Speaker 9: really getting anything done. Let's talk to people and listen
26:44
Speaker 9: to people who actually have solutions and they're not coming
26:47
Speaker 9: up with crazy garbage, and let's get them in there
26:50
Speaker 9: and hopefully get some change. Don't vote Rhino and don't
26:54
Speaker 9: vote Democrat. Have a great day, Brian.
26:58
Speaker 1: City Talk Station and going back to the yeah rubyan
27:00
Speaker 1: oun if you do have Kercity Talk station e Wednesday.
27:05
Speaker 1: Let's see real quick here before I get to the
27:08
Speaker 1: stack of stupid. Unless you want to call, feel free
27:10
Speaker 1: to call my sister for to be an email. There's
27:12
Speaker 1: a place called worleywr l e Y auctioneers dot com
27:16
Speaker 1: and the city of Cincinnati apparently is auctioning off a
27:20
Speaker 1: whole bunch stuff cars, firearms, mean anything you want to
27:25
Speaker 1: anything consider. I was looking at the list right now.
27:27
Speaker 1: The bid is only five hundred eleven dollars. If you're
27:29
Speaker 1: interested in the most highest, the highest velocity of any
27:33
Speaker 1: production revolver on earth, they have a Smith and Western
27:36
Speaker 1: for sixty XVR revolver twenty four hundred pound feet. Yeah,
27:45
Speaker 1: that's quite a cannon handcann right there. Anyway, Whirley Auctions
27:48
Speaker 1: is the place to go. I got great cars on
27:51
Speaker 1: there and prices look pretty good. So anyhow, over to
27:53
Speaker 1: the stack of stupid heavily armed Amazon delivery driver ponder
27:58
Speaker 1: that one claimed he shot a US Postal Service employee
28:03
Speaker 1: in the face under the assumption that the postal worker
28:07
Speaker 1: was a mafia assassin. What Twenty six year old Blake
28:11
Speaker 1: Michael Coleman arrested charged with felony first degree assault in
28:15
Speaker 1: connection with the deadly shooting took place October third in
28:18
Speaker 1: an apartment complex in Everett, Washington. Police said he admitted
28:23
Speaker 1: his shooting the mail carrier in the head and insisting
28:25
Speaker 1: that the open fire was in self defense. Authlready say
28:28
Speaker 1: the victims survived the injuries but will lose an eye.
28:32
Speaker 1: Rest report included what Coleman told police detectives about how
28:35
Speaker 1: the confrontation escalated into violence. Quote. Coleman indicated this was
28:39
Speaker 1: in self defense because the US Postal Service worker was
28:42
Speaker 1: trying to charge at him while Coleman was cornered. Thank
28:48
Speaker 1: You Joe. Coleman recounted how the USPS worker had smiled
28:52
Speaker 1: at him before lunging forward with both of his arms
28:54
Speaker 1: behind him in a charging motion. Coleman explained the USPS
28:58
Speaker 1: worker didn't have any packages in his arms at the time.
29:00
Speaker 1: And that Coleman felt that he was about to be tackled.
29:04
Speaker 1: Witness told police the version of events didn't line up
29:07
Speaker 1: with what Coleman had told them. Quote. I saw the
29:09
Speaker 1: mailroom door close in an argument between the USPS man
29:12
Speaker 1: and the Amazon man. USPS man shoved the Amazon driver and shouted,
29:17
Speaker 1: why the f are you shoving me? Amazon driver then
29:21
Speaker 1: pulled out a pistol and shot the USPS man in
29:24
Speaker 1: the head close Quote what the hell? Time of the altercation.
29:29
Speaker 1: Coleman reported the arm with two firearms, a bullet proof
29:32
Speaker 1: plate carrier, large knife, and a pistol magazine holder, which
29:36
Speaker 1: were all concealed under his Amazon uniform. Told detectives he
29:40
Speaker 1: carried the bulletproof vest because he'd been shot by rifles
29:44
Speaker 1: and crossbows while on the jobbed He's lease had he
29:47
Speaker 1: never reported the incidents to the police because there was
29:50
Speaker 1: no evidence right whatever. Also claimed he was being cyber
29:54
Speaker 1: stalked by the mafia and had suspicions that USPS workers
29:58
Speaker 1: may have been a mafia assassin. Whatever, Thank you, Liam.
30:03
Speaker 1: I think the guy's been smoking too much weed. He's
30:05
Speaker 1: struggling with a psychotic episode. Corner of the interview. He
30:10
Speaker 1: continued asserting that this was a clear case of self
30:12
Speaker 1: defense and he was experienced. He was expecting to get
30:15
Speaker 1: all of his property back and surprised that he was
30:17
Speaker 1: being booked into jail. Company Amazon requires delivery service partners
30:24
Speaker 1: to conduct background checks with their employees. Police have not
30:27
Speaker 1: identified the victim of the shooting, and he remains in
30:29
Speaker 1: jail on a one million dollar bond. How could you
30:32
Speaker 1: not identify the victim? Got shot in the head? Five

Speaker 1: I do they call her online. Let's get see what
31:03
Speaker 1: Mississippi James has got this morning. Welcome back, James. Always
31:06
Speaker 1: good to hear from you, my friend.
31:08
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, I come in peace. Love everyone. There's
31:11
Speaker 10: nothing you can do about it. Amen, Okay, I like
31:15
Speaker 10: to respond to Tom. He just said about ten different things. Yeah, yeah,
31:25
Speaker 10: and I'm saying I agree with that. Oh, I disagree
31:27
Speaker 10: with that. I agree with that. So my head was
31:30
Speaker 10: going back and forth. Now the stuff I was saying
31:34
Speaker 10: that I disagree with him. I can help him out
31:38
Speaker 10: because it seemed like he brought his conclusion from the
31:41
Speaker 10: way he see the world. But if he's willing to
31:44
Speaker 10: see it from another side, he may have a different opinion.
31:48
Speaker 1: Of James, go ahead, offer the perspective.
31:52
Speaker 10: Right, right, But when you just look at stuff from
31:54
Speaker 10: one side and you see the problem, get a solution
31:58
Speaker 10: from one side, it's gonna all. He stayed there.
32:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, you make this point regularly. I think people know
32:03
Speaker 1: where you're coming from, James. So tell Tom and explain
32:06
Speaker 1: to Tom your perspective so we can put things into context.
32:11
Speaker 10: Well, there's about ten different things there, so I can't
32:13
Speaker 10: do it here. I just putting it out there. You
32:16
Speaker 10: call I like, yeah, I know, that's that's my point.
32:19
Speaker 10: I like to get it to a bigger, rener, you know,
32:22
Speaker 10: than just sound bites so it can move on, because
32:25
Speaker 10: I can't. I can't recall right off what he was saying.
32:28
Speaker 10: I just remember head say, well, I agree with that,
32:31
Speaker 10: I disagree, I agree, you know, moving so fast? Yeah,
32:34
Speaker 10: So that's what I'm saying. Until we, as a community
32:38
Speaker 10: group or whatever get into a form, and maybe you
32:41
Speaker 10: should be able to set up something, get a couple
32:43
Speaker 10: of people we can sit down and have a think
32:46
Speaker 10: taint that we can have time to break break down
32:50
Speaker 10: these different you know what out of this group of
32:53
Speaker 10: people feel that way, so maybe they have him In
32:56
Speaker 10: the future we could get together. I keep pushing for
32:59
Speaker 10: a think s to that with a form, and we'll
33:02
Speaker 10: see we've got a whole lot more in common than.
33:05
Speaker 1: We have difference, James, if people shared your perspective on
33:10
Speaker 1: how to view life, in other words, put yourself in
33:13
Speaker 1: another man's position, try to view things from their perspective.
33:17
Speaker 1: Don't come in with one sided view of everything, and
33:20
Speaker 1: without keeping your mind open to different perspectives, we would
33:24
Speaker 1: all live in a better world. There are forms, there
33:26
Speaker 1: are think tanks, there are people harrumphing together around roundtables
33:30
Speaker 1: all the time. But quite often you're met with what
33:32
Speaker 1: I'll boil down to name calling. You know, It's like,
33:35
Speaker 1: you know, you try to engage in debate and a
33:37
Speaker 1: minute someone goes in a name calling you know you
33:39
Speaker 1: wont the debate because they can't offer anything except to
33:42
Speaker 1: name call. That to me is the winning argument. If
33:45
Speaker 1: you get someone to call your name, you win an argument.
33:47
Speaker 1: But if you just are engaged in exchange of ideas,
33:49
Speaker 1: that's a healthy concept. And from my perspective, and I
33:52
Speaker 1: think I've benefited immeasurably from being a litigation attorney for
33:56
Speaker 1: sixteen years. You know why is because you don't get
33:59
Speaker 1: to determine the facts. You're a lawyer. You've got a client,
34:03
Speaker 1: here's what happened, defend them. Now. Quite often you're not
34:07
Speaker 1: in a position to really maybe want to defend them,
34:10
Speaker 1: or they're on shaky ground, so you have to open
34:13
Speaker 1: your mind up and figure out ways to defend them.
34:16
Speaker 1: And that's what you're saying, listen, eight one size fits all.
34:19
Speaker 1: Sure they're claiming this, but is there an alternative viewpoint
34:23
Speaker 1: to what they're saying. That's what a lawyer does, comes
34:26
Speaker 1: up with the defense for a client that may literally
34:29
Speaker 1: be on shaky ground. Then you have an obligation in
34:31
Speaker 1: your clients say listen, you know you have kind of
34:33
Speaker 1: a shaky argument and may be a good case to settle,
34:35
Speaker 1: offer them counsel and tell them maybe it's not their night.
34:38
Speaker 1: But there's always an argument that can be made, and
34:41
Speaker 1: that's what you need to search for. So I've walked
34:43
Speaker 1: into cases before where I've thought there's no way, this
34:46
Speaker 1: is ridiculous, blah blah blah blah blah, only to be
34:49
Speaker 1: put in a position where I've got to find something
34:52
Speaker 1: that's that going to the other side and figuring it out.
34:55
Speaker 1: So it's easy to do, but you've got to be
34:58
Speaker 1: willing to do it. And you're right, James, you should
35:02
Speaker 1: think about it from somebody else's perspective. As I pointed
35:04
Speaker 1: out before, I have no way of knowing what you've
35:08
Speaker 1: been through in your life. You're older than me, You're
35:11
Speaker 1: a black American man who has lived in Mississippi and
35:14
Speaker 1: other areas. You've seen bad things in your life that
35:17
Speaker 1: I never have seen. So put that into the equation
35:20
Speaker 1: some other person out there. Have you walked a mile
35:23
Speaker 1: in James's shoes? At least try to grasp the perspective
35:28
Speaker 1: they're coming from and then formulate what you perceive to
35:33
Speaker 1: be a better argument or a better solution while taking
35:36
Speaker 1: into consideration what that person has been through. Doesn't mean
35:40
Speaker 1: you're going to come to a different conclusion necessarily, but
35:42
Speaker 1: at least you can address the concerns that the other
35:46
Speaker 1: side is expressing constructive debate. And I know, James, you're
35:52
Speaker 1: all about constructive debate. Five five come up with a
35:56
Speaker 1: five efty six to fifty five cascity toxation plenty to
35:58
Speaker 1: talk about in the six o'clock hour, and you can
35:59
Speaker 1: feel free to I got two words for the United Nations,
36:03

Speaker 1: and talk about that coming.
36:07
Speaker 11: Up today's top stories. I have to talk about it here.

36:17
Speaker 1: It's ax Spybot kr CD talk station. Happy Wednesday. I
36:24
Speaker 1: just found out Way Newton still alive five one three, seven,
36:30
Speaker 1: two to three talk or we're going time five fifty
36:31
Speaker 1: on AT and T phons Care to call in? Uh again,
36:34
Speaker 1: thank you to the listener. I hated to lament my
36:36
Speaker 1: vertigo yesterday, but I did get the solution positional vertigos
36:40
Speaker 1: what someone said I had. There's an fc epsy procedure
36:43
Speaker 1: you can do in your own home and on your
36:46
Speaker 1: own and it cured the problem. Thank you to all,
36:50
Speaker 1: and I again apologize for lamenting it. But God bless
36:52
Speaker 1: my listeners. Save me a doctor visit anyway, what's going
36:58
Speaker 1: on in the world real quick Here just a couple
36:59
Speaker 1: of headlines that wanted to dive down on to apparently
37:01
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's make America Great agans bearing a lot of
37:05
Speaker 1: fruit real quickly before we get to the UN and
37:08
Speaker 1: the two words that aren't happy Birthday I have for
37:10
Speaker 1: the UN. JP Morgan Chase announced this week a one
37:15
Speaker 1: point five trillion dollar initiative it's funding to ensure America's resiliency.
37:22
Speaker 1: As part of the statement to the Wall Street Journal,
37:24
Speaker 1: they said, our adversaries and potential adversaries aren't waiting. We
37:27
Speaker 1: no longer have the luxury of time. America needs more
37:30
Speaker 1: speed and investment. It also needs this is why I'm
37:34
Speaker 1: reading the statement, to remove obstacles that stand on the way,
37:38
Speaker 1: excessive regulation, bureaucratic delay, partisan gridlock, and an education system
37:44
Speaker 1: misaligned with the skills we need. So the goal the
37:51
Speaker 1: one point five trillion dollar is to invest in job creation,
37:55
Speaker 1: economic growth, innovation, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So
37:58
Speaker 1: there's one point five trillion pivoting over stillantis. The Carmaker
38:03
Speaker 1: is planning on investing thirteen billion for US manufacturing expansive expansion,
38:09
Speaker 1: domestic manufacturing that's going to result in a fifty percent
38:15
Speaker 1: increase in domestic vehicle production over the next several years,
38:18
Speaker 1: five thousand new jobs across plants in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,
38:23
Speaker 1: and Ohio. Hmm, how about that? Oh and parenthetically, GM
38:34
Speaker 1: took a one point six billion dollar hit because of
38:37
Speaker 1: EV Sales aren't meeting expectations because apparently no one wants them,
38:42
Speaker 1: which leads me to the United Nations. And why are
38:45
Speaker 1: we even in this pivoting over the editorial board of
38:48
Speaker 1: the Wall Street draw I know I do that, but
38:50
Speaker 1: they'll make a great point here, and they revealed this
38:52
Speaker 1: to my attention. I thought you should know about it too.
38:54
Speaker 1: Voters showing their opposition to the net zero climate agenda
38:57
Speaker 1: wherever they get the opportunity, see the war old people
39:00
Speaker 1: are moving away from this nonsense. I'm interjecting right now.
39:04
Speaker 1: The carbon dioxide is bad for us, but that isn't
39:10
Speaker 1: stopping the United Nations, which this week is poised to
39:13
Speaker 1: impose what amounts to a global tax on carbon dioxide
39:17
Speaker 1: emissions the definition of taxation without representation. The International Maritime
39:24
Speaker 1: Organization IMO, which is a UN body in London, hopes
39:29
Speaker 1: at the meeting this week, it will secure final approval
39:31
Speaker 1: for what they call the net zero Framework for Shipping
39:36
Speaker 1: measure what imposed charges per metric ton of carbon dioxide
39:39
Speaker 1: that's plant food that ships emit above certain limits, probably
39:45
Speaker 1: arbitrarily determined by the IMOH. The tax would be one
39:48
Speaker 1: hundred dollars or three hundred and eighty dollars per metric ton,
39:51
Speaker 1: depending on a variety of factors. That could translate into
39:55
Speaker 1: an annual tax take of ten to twelve billion dollars
39:59
Speaker 1: going into this United Nations organization. If you've heard about
40:04
Speaker 1: this at all, and I hadn't, it's probably because the
40:07
Speaker 1: Trump administration last week threatened to slap sanctions on any
40:11
Speaker 1: country that votes in favor of imposing this tax. Washington
40:15
Speaker 1: rightly worries and will increased cost of goods to American
40:17
Speaker 1: households by increasing global shipping costs as much as ten percent.
40:22
Speaker 1: They do nod and note the irony, setting aside the
40:27
Speaker 1: trade policy irony. At least someone in the Trump administration
40:31
Speaker 1: is worried about expensive imports might be bad for the
40:34
Speaker 1: American economy. The damage from this UN climate tax as
40:38
Speaker 1: much political as economic. The UN has previously toyed with
40:41
Speaker 1: emissions monitoring schemes such as for aviation, and the IMO
40:45
Speaker 1: claims this proposal is no different. But this is the
40:48
Speaker 1: first instance we can find of the UN claiming the
40:52
Speaker 1: ability to levy attax the revenues from which would be
40:56
Speaker 1: paid directly into a UN contry trolled fund. Pause. How
41:01
Speaker 1: does that make you feel? And I'm sure there's swirling
41:07
Speaker 1: illustrations of UN corruption in your mind right now. For
41:14
Speaker 1: the UN system as a whole, roughly ninety percent of
41:17
Speaker 1: revenue comes from governments like the United States, which apparently
41:19
Speaker 1: funds most of the UN. Why are we doing that?
41:21
Speaker 1: I don't know. Those capitals at least are responsible to
41:26
Speaker 1: their own taxpayers and also in a position to impose
41:29
Speaker 1: some accountability on the UN. That's Donald Trump basically screw
41:33
Speaker 1: you guys. If you don't get your act together, We're
41:35
Speaker 1: not going to fund you anymore. Where are all the
41:38
Speaker 1: other nations funding the UN? They always fall behind their obligations.
41:41
Speaker 1: Why is the United States the only one who ever
41:43
Speaker 1: regularly pays their bills? The rest income generated from US
41:47
Speaker 1: consulting activities or investment returns in exchange rate movements affecting
41:52
Speaker 1: existing reserves. That's ten percent, But this im carbon tax
41:58
Speaker 1: on shipping by contract will be paid by ship owners
42:03
Speaker 1: directly to the new quote net zero fund close quote
42:08
Speaker 1: created by this IMO underneath the UN umbrella. The IMO
42:13
Speaker 1: says this money, pot to be managed by agency staff,
42:17
Speaker 1: would support innovation in green shipping and quote reward low
42:22
Speaker 1: emission ships close quote. That's bad enough as an invitation
42:29
Speaker 1: to opaque special dealing and corruption, which is always guaranteed
42:32
Speaker 1: by the UN. But the IMO also contemplating using the
42:36
Speaker 1: funds for quote just transition initiatives in developing countries close quote,
42:43
Speaker 1: and to quote mitigate negative impacts of climate change on
42:49
Speaker 1: vulnerable states. Notice them whittling away the countries that might
42:54
Speaker 1: be available to tap into these billions of dollars being
42:57
Speaker 1: taken from shipping companies for no reason other than to
43:00
Speaker 1: rid the world of plant food.
43:05
Speaker 7: In other worlds.
43:06
Speaker 1: This is another income redistribution scheme for whatever ideas the
43:10
Speaker 1: UM bureaucracy deems worthy. If you think handouts the non
43:14
Speaker 1: democratic countries for vaguely defined climate purposes will be administered
43:18
Speaker 1: scrupulously in the public interest, We've got a carbon neutral
43:22
Speaker 1: barge to sell you. Meanwhile, who will decide when the
43:28
Speaker 1: tax rate needs to increase and how this task is
43:32
Speaker 1: left to a one hundred and seventy member committee under
43:37
Speaker 1: the ages of the IMO, that's the Shipping Group. And
43:40
Speaker 1: good luck to any voter in Boston, Berlin, or Bangkok
43:43
Speaker 1: who wants to influence that debate. It's a bad sign
43:47
Speaker 1: that the IMO is even pushing this measure when voters
43:49
Speaker 1: in the United States and across Europe are becoming less
43:52
Speaker 1: willing to pay the economic cost for net zero climate policies.
43:56
Speaker 1: And I put an exclamation point behind that, because this
43:58
Speaker 1: reality is unfre to my delight. Across the globe, people
44:03
Speaker 1: are finally waking up that this is a scam of
44:05
Speaker 1: global proportion, something that knows scamster or frauds there could
44:09
Speaker 1: have ever imagined in their wildest dreams. You got to
44:12
Speaker 1: leave it up to the likes of Al Gore and
44:13
Speaker 1: Barack Obama and other climate alarmists to stir the pot
44:17
Speaker 1: of this nonsense, to keep these organizations funded with your
44:21
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars so they can continue to chase their tail
44:24
Speaker 1: and lie to you that plant food somehow bad for us.
44:28
Speaker 1: Do you ever noticed in the idea of reducing car
44:32
Speaker 1: emissions that they never talk about truly dangerous emissions, mercury
44:36
Speaker 1: and lead and all that. Why, because we've got rid
44:39
Speaker 1: of those. The only thing they have less is something
44:41
Speaker 1: that you can't get rid of, which is exhalation. It's
44:45
Speaker 1: part of the natural environment, it's part of the atmosphere.
44:47
Speaker 1: Carbon dioxide is necessary for the globe to live and survive.
44:52
Speaker 1: Zap CO two out of the atmosphere, all plant life dies.
44:57
Speaker 1: It's craziness. Obviously, at the tone of my voice and
45:01
Speaker 1: how I'm feeling right now, this has gotten I've just
45:03
Speaker 1: gotten to the end of my rope on this. But
45:05
Speaker 1: thankfully again I'm excited about the rest of the world
45:09
Speaker 1: coming to this reality. They went on and concluded many
45:14
Speaker 1: Western governments, especially in Europe, nonetheless support the IMO Plan,
45:18
Speaker 1: no doubt because of that unpopularity. It's an attempt by
45:22
Speaker 1: climate obsessed politicians to entrench their agenda. Here we are
45:28
Speaker 1: before voters in democracies can kill it. There's your task,
45:32
Speaker 1: FoST Let's kill this. Let's stick a stake in the
45:35
Speaker 1: heart of carbon dioxide elimination right now and stop this nonsense.
45:43
Speaker 1: This is the kind of national abdication of decision making
45:46
Speaker 1: to international bodies that has spurred populist rebellions across Europe
45:50
Speaker 1: and the US President Trump, we'll do Americans and the
45:52
Speaker 1: electric democratic world a favor if he can scare the
45:56
Speaker 1: IMO into thinking twice about this global carbon tax plan.
46:00
Speaker 1: Let me ask an out loud question for a more
46:02
Speaker 1: informed listener out there who might know the answer to
46:04
Speaker 1: this question. If we just responded to the UN, if
46:07
Speaker 1: they do pass this global tax, even though for my
46:11
Speaker 1: perception they lack the taxing authority, under what law are
46:14
Speaker 1: we'd be obligated to pay this? What would happen if
46:20
Speaker 1: we just said to the UN when they hold their
46:24
Speaker 1: when they hand over a tax bill, I got two
46:26
Speaker 1: words for you, and it ain't happy birthday. Are the
46:30
Speaker 1: light blue helmet folks gonna come after the United States
46:34
Speaker 1: of America? I don't see that happening either, So let's
46:39
Speaker 1: do that. Let's tell them where to go six sixteen
46:42
Speaker 1: fifty five krs the talk station. Feel free to chime in,
46:45
Speaker 1: love to hear from you.
46:46
Speaker 7: See the talk station.
46:54
Speaker 1: It's six twenty one here at fifty five kr CE
46:56
Speaker 1: detalk station five thirty seven fifty five hundred eight hundred
47:00
Speaker 1: two to three talk And as I pointed out, GM
47:02
Speaker 1: taking a one point six billion dollar hit because well,
47:06
Speaker 1: EV operations, electric vehicle sales aren't where they were hoping
47:09
Speaker 1: they would be. People are rolling back the mandates. Donald Trump,
47:12
Speaker 1: of course getting rid of that ridiculous notion that carbon
47:15
Speaker 1: dioxide is a pollutant. And another article the rest of
47:21
Speaker 1: the world is following America's retreat on EV's a couple
47:26
Speaker 1: of points from the article. Again, Wall Street jawn to
47:27
Speaker 1: give credit to Sharon Turleup reporting on this most notably
47:31
Speaker 1: so we have moving back from EV emission standards. Canada
47:35
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Mark Connie paused an electric vehicle sales mandate
47:39
Speaker 1: that was set to take an effect next year. There's
47:42
Speaker 1: another country, in the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Cure Starmer
47:46
Speaker 1: provided a more flexible timeline to hit the country's EV targets.
47:49
Speaker 1: Segue two, maybe not have any having any electric vehicle targets.
47:53
Speaker 1: European Union last month vowing the pressure from automakers, Well,
47:59
Speaker 1: it's twenty thirty five target for eliminating carbon dioxide emissions
48:03
Speaker 1: from cars. They've moved that reality hitting hard in the
48:09
Speaker 1: US General Motors I mentioned one point six billion dollar
48:12
Speaker 1: charge because of sinking EV sales. Automaker lobbied heavily this
48:17
Speaker 1: year to loosen ev requirements. It's a business model that
48:21
Speaker 1: people aren't cottoning to. There's another point made, death of
48:28
Speaker 1: a Clean Energy Tobacca. You can read home in Jenkins
48:30
Speaker 1: article on this. Put it this way, hotdog consumption would
48:34
Speaker 1: surely rise of hot dogs were subsidized by government. Purely
48:38
Speaker 1: a conceit, though, is any idea that cheeseburger consumption would
48:41
Speaker 1: simultaneously decline? It doesn't follow, And so it has proved
48:46
Speaker 1: energy consumption has simply grown overall. Therein lies the problem.
48:50
Speaker 1: Energy consumption keeps going up, and the green solution for
48:53
Speaker 1: energy demand is a windmill and a solar panel, which
48:57
Speaker 1: do not require the energy needed to power America and
49:00
Speaker 1: America and the rest of the world's growing, not retracting
49:05
Speaker 1: energy demands. Oh and look here US army planet powers
49:09
Speaker 1: bases with tiny nuclear reactors, the Janics program. How about this?
49:13
Speaker 1: And why can't you and I have them? Going back
49:16
Speaker 1: to cribbage Mike's submarine or friend Mike's point that he's
49:19
Speaker 1: made multiple times, we all should take note of the
49:22
Speaker 1: American military ships have been running on nuclear power since
49:25
Speaker 1: the late nineteen fifties. How many accidents none this Janus
49:30
Speaker 1: program the Army unveiled, which aims to supply bases by
49:34
Speaker 1: calendar year twenty twenty eight with micro reactors, described as
49:38
Speaker 1: tiny reactors that generate about twenty megawatts of electricity, which
49:43
Speaker 1: is enough to power a small a small town. They
49:47
Speaker 1: also are small enough to move on a container ship
49:52
Speaker 1: or an aircraft. How about that to power America's military?
49:58
Speaker 1: Jeff Waksman, Principal Deputy Assistan and Secretary of the Army.
50:01
Speaker 1: What resilience means to us is that we have power
50:05
Speaker 1: no matter what. Twenty four to seven. Now, who among
50:08
Speaker 1: us doesn't want that? Is it too much to ask
50:14
Speaker 1: and counter your twenty twenty five? With this modern technology
50:17
Speaker 1: that has been available for a long time, we won't
50:19
Speaker 1: touch with a ten foot pole in spite of the
50:22
Speaker 1: fact that, oh my god, it's carbon neutral, produces an
50:24
Speaker 1: abundance of electricity, it runs twenty four to seven. But
50:30
Speaker 1: we can't have that. Why And I've always viewed the
50:35
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence as bad as it might be for our
50:38
Speaker 1: collective jobs in the future. The power demands of artificial
50:41
Speaker 1: intelligence operations are so massive that the Googles of the world,
50:46
Speaker 1: the alphabets, the other huge multi billion dollar corporations are
50:49
Speaker 1: investing in this technology so they can have their own
50:53
Speaker 1: self generated power, much in the way this Janis project
50:56
Speaker 1: is going to provide the American military with its own
50:58
Speaker 1: self generated power to be on the grid, says the
51:01
Speaker 1: American military by calendar year twenty twenty eight, and maybe
51:03
Speaker 1: Alphabet doesn't need to be on the grid, maybe by
51:05
Speaker 1: next year if they can get approval to get one
51:07
Speaker 1: of these small reactors. Ask out loud, what's the impediment?
51:16
Speaker 1: Could it be JP Morgan's point about overregulation impediments to investment.
51:23
Speaker 1: Maybe we're realigning right now. Maybe we are in that
51:26
Speaker 1: moment and time where sanity will rule the day. Local
51:30
Speaker 1: stories coming up or phone calls, either the way you
51:32
Speaker 1: want to go. It's your choice. First though, it's your
51:34
Speaker 1: choice to call QC Kinetics. If you've been struggling with pain,
51:37
Speaker 1: maybe you've been dealing with it for years. It's impact
51:39
Speaker 1: on the talk station six thirty one at fifty five KRC,
51:52
Speaker 1: the talk station Happy Wednesday, let us see it run
51:57
Speaker 1: at fifty five KRC dot com where you get your
51:59
Speaker 1: podcast but also get your right Heart media app. Just
52:02
Speaker 1: went over my ratings numbers yesterday with I guess whoever
52:05
Speaker 1: my boss is. Thank you very much for listening and
52:09
Speaker 1: streaming the audio. I really truly appreciate it. Just very
52:13
Speaker 1: very solid numbers. Everybody seems to be very happy. I
52:16
Speaker 1: got a good annual review too, which means Joe Strecker
52:19
Speaker 1: also gets a good annual review because he's producer of
52:21
Speaker 1: the program. And if Joe Strecker wasn't there, I wouldn't
52:24
Speaker 1: be here. Over the local stories, you can call if
52:26
Speaker 1: you'd like, but I'm going to jump into local stories.
52:28
Speaker 1: Started out with this one this morning, and it is local.
52:30
Speaker 1: So let's talk about since a mayor, Aftab Parvall says
52:33
Speaker 1: more action is going to be taken because we have
52:36
Speaker 1: a crime problem. He's finally acknowledging it's something he's been
52:39
Speaker 1: in denial about for a long time, calling the issue
52:42
Speaker 1: absolutely intolerable gun violence. So what do we have new
52:47
Speaker 1: from aftab Parvoll in his reactive mode first Civil Disturbance
52:51
Speaker 1: Response Team. We have one of those as well as SWAT.
52:56
Speaker 1: Apparently we'll be on the ground at Fountain Square between
52:59
Speaker 1: two pm and ten every day and they all roll
53:03
Speaker 1: out at ten pm and that's when the violence starts.
53:05
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. He says he's going to
53:06
Speaker 1: introduce new legislation to city council members to enforce an
53:09
Speaker 1: earlier curfew on Fountain Square, at least in the Fountain
53:11
Speaker 1: Square district, maybe as early as six pm, saying if
53:15
Speaker 1: you are an unsupervised team and you break in curfew,
53:18
Speaker 1: we will move you or we will arrest you. Mayor
53:22
Speaker 1: also discussing having discussions with sorta officials to try and
53:26
Speaker 1: concentrate transportation someplace other than Government Square. Which go over
53:31
Speaker 1: and listen to what Ken Cobra, FLP president said yesterday.
53:33
Speaker 1: There's apparently a transportation hub on Second Street that does
53:36
Speaker 1: not have any amenities around it. It's just a place
53:39
Speaker 1: that's been previously built to do exactly what Government Square
53:42
Speaker 1: does and it goes unused. Get the kids there for
53:45
Speaker 1: the transfer. They don't have any reason or motivation to
53:47
Speaker 1: hang around, unlike Government Square, which obviously has a lot
53:50
Speaker 1: of businesses around it. So anyway, those is new announcements.
53:58
Speaker 1: Oh look, County prosecutor County Pillarts announcing five new indictments
54:03
Speaker 1: connected with the street racing that involved more than sixty
54:06
Speaker 1: suspects announced yesterday. The investigation does continue into more than
54:10
Speaker 1: five dozen piece people who've been riding dirt bikes and
54:14
Speaker 1: ATVs throughout the city, causing traffic disruptions. County Pillows said
54:19
Speaker 1: police have attempted to stop the group multiple times. They
54:22
Speaker 1: run red lights, ryan sidewalks and block traffic doing burnouts
54:25
Speaker 1: and wheelies. Got a handful of folks here, twenty two
54:30
Speaker 1: year old Jared Porter, twenty year old Joshua Ludlum, twenty
54:33
Speaker 1: four year old d'Artagnan Battle, twenty six year old Devon Metz,
54:38
Speaker 1: and twenty four year old Isaiah Klein from all kinds
54:40
Speaker 1: of places, from Hamilton, Mount, Washington, Avenel, Sycamore Township, West
54:43
Speaker 1: Price sALS, so they're coming from all around. They were
54:47
Speaker 1: also indicted on some charges from the September tenth case
54:51
Speaker 1: was a separate case. She said. The men indicted chronicle
54:54
Speaker 1: their activity on social media and in text conversations, obviously
54:58
Speaker 1: incriminating themselves by ragging about what they were doing. Idiots
55:02
Speaker 1: doing idiot things because they're idiots, and they put the
55:08
Speaker 1: brakes on government to wines in ninety day executive order
55:11
Speaker 1: banning intoxicating hemp the THHC infused gummies and beverages. According
55:16
Speaker 1: to Franklin County judge they well banned that or delayed
55:20
Speaker 1: that ban just hours after it took effect, ruling that
55:23
Speaker 1: it should be paused for fourteen days because well, this
55:27
Speaker 1: requires legislative action. The governor's ban claimed that hemp derived
55:30
Speaker 1: THC products are unregulated by the state. I guess which
55:35
Speaker 1: he thought gave rio to his executive authority to go
55:37
Speaker 1: ahead and ban something that the legislative brands did not ban.
55:42
Speaker 1: So and that is a problem. I mean, I think
55:47
Speaker 1: this rests, I mean, aside from retailers being able to
55:50
Speaker 1: sell these products to minors, and certainly legislative action is
55:56
Speaker 1: should be directed along those lines. But I think mom
55:59
Speaker 1: and dad home, or whoever, is responsible for the young
56:02
Speaker 1: people as young as five years old eating these THC products.
56:05
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, forty seven cases of children five years

Speaker 1: old and under. In twenty twenty five so far, four
56:14
Speaker 1: hundred and three exposure cases in children five and under.
56:19
Speaker 1: And I'm sure a five year old didn't walk into
56:21
Speaker 1: some random convenience store and buy THHC gummies. I'm certain
56:26
Speaker 1: that there was an adult presence that brought those into
56:29
Speaker 1: that five year old's environment. So regardless of whether the
56:32
Speaker 1: Wine has done the right or wrong thing. Executive action

57:14
Speaker 1: got Michael Mercier doing a power Youth seminar, which is
57:17
Speaker 1: going to be really interesting. I'm sure they always are.
57:19
Speaker 1: But how to use chat GPT jose Chrekker can take

57:25
Speaker 1: Inquirer returns to talk about the city council race, and
57:30
Speaker 1: we'll see if we can get into comment of White
57:32
Speaker 1: keeps referring to Corey Bowman is jd Vance's half brother, Scott,
57:38
Speaker 1: if you're listening, just giving you a little hard time,
57:41
Speaker 1: giving everybody a hard time who continues to refer to
57:44
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman by anything other than his name. He's running
57:46
Speaker 1: at Corey Bowman. You can check him out online at
57:48
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman dot com. All right here, let me just.
57:53
Speaker 10: This.
57:53
Speaker 1: This really bothered me. Representative Ayana Pressley, you know her,
57:59
Speaker 1: she's a squad. She's insane. Well, politically I would argue
58:03
Speaker 1: that she is. Anyway, we can have an argument about
58:05
Speaker 1: politics and whether socialism slash communism is a better form
58:08
Speaker 1: of government than capitalism or whatever form of capitalism we
58:12
Speaker 1: have left here in the United States. She was celebrating
58:17
Speaker 1: Indigenous People's Day the other day, Columbus Day, which Donald
58:19
Speaker 1: Trump brought back. And I know there's Indigenous people out there,
58:23
Speaker 1: and I have respect for our Native American indigenous friends.
58:29
Speaker 1: Happy Indigenous People's Day. We are all on stolen land,
58:36
Speaker 1: she said. And while Republicans try to whitewash American history,
58:40
Speaker 1: we acknowledge our country's role in inflicting trauma on our
58:43
Speaker 1: indigenous neighbors. We'll keep celebrating their contributions, centering Native voices
58:49
Speaker 1: in our policymaking and building more just equitable future. There's
58:53
Speaker 1: that word again, echable. It's got to be incorporated into
58:55
Speaker 1: any left wing statement ever. Well, obviously this broad forth
59:00
Speaker 1: lot of laughter, including from me. So I have to
59:03
Speaker 1: read delicately the statement that I typed on top of
59:05
Speaker 1: this article because it is FCC non compliant. I just suggested, well,
59:12
Speaker 1: so are you? If we are all on stolen land,
59:16
Speaker 1: then you also are an occupant of stolen land. I
59:19
Speaker 1: know I'm staying in the obvious. You were elected by
59:21
Speaker 1: people who live on stolen land, Iana Presley, you live
59:25
Speaker 1: in the district where they elected you. So if this
59:29
Speaker 1: is all such an affront to our Native Americans and
59:32
Speaker 1: our indigenous people, then why are you still participating in
59:36
Speaker 1: this affront to their dignity and their humanity? Move someplace else.
59:41
Speaker 1: But in so suggesting, let me just offer this pick
59:46
Speaker 1: a country, and I bet regardless of what country you
59:53
Speaker 1: pick that apparently in your mind isn't on stolen land.
1:00:00
Speaker 1: Let me suggest to you that there's probably somebody that
1:00:03
Speaker 1: lives there, who is claiming that the current occupants stole
1:00:07
Speaker 1: that land from one of the rest ancestors. The world
1:00:10
Speaker 1: is constantly evolving, wars, in societal breakdowns, and I mean
1:00:16
Speaker 1: you could go through a litany of things that have happened.
1:00:19
Speaker 1: Mass migrations, you know. I mean, we had this amazing
1:00:23
Speaker 1: influx of immigrants from Europe right on multiple occasions. They
1:00:29
Speaker 1: came here, helping to form the United States of America.
1:00:34
Speaker 1: But anywhere you go, there is a history to the
1:00:38
Speaker 1: existence of that country that quite often and in most
1:00:41
Speaker 1: cases involves some sort of turmoil that has resulted in
1:00:45
Speaker 1: a change. So we all are uninherited space, ma'am, So
1:00:50
Speaker 1: get over yourself. The land was settled and colonized. And
1:00:59
Speaker 1: if you want to say to the you know that
1:01:01
Speaker 1: that might makes right or that strength conquers the week.
1:01:04
Speaker 1: However you want to view the evolution of the United
1:01:07
Speaker 1: States of America, it is a part of an evolution
1:01:10
Speaker 1: and evolution that never stops. And I know Christopher Columbus
1:01:17
Speaker 1: didn't discover America. Can get back to leif ericson if
1:01:24
Speaker 1: you want to give credit to some white guy out
1:01:25
Speaker 1: in the world. But the point is, oh, look, there's
1:01:28
Speaker 1: land over there. It's hardly populated. It's Native Americans, it's
1:01:32
Speaker 1: indigenous people. They've got a lot of stuff in things
1:01:35
Speaker 1: that we the Europeans or whoever else, and you know,
1:01:37
Speaker 1: the Spaniards and anybody else who moved into this region
1:01:39
Speaker 1: of the world, South America, North America. They all saw
1:01:42
Speaker 1: some benefit in doing so, and they did. And look
1:01:45
Speaker 1: at where we are today. Okay, I'm over at six
1:01:47

1:02:04
Speaker 1: use Chat, GPT and powerre you seminar for Michael Mercer
1:02:06
Speaker 1: at eight oh five, and then Scott Wharton from the

Speaker 1: enquire on the city council race and other city issues
1:02:12
Speaker 1: five three, seven fifty five hundred eighty two to three talk.
1:02:16
Speaker 7: Let's go to the phone.
1:02:16
Speaker 1: See what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby, welcome back to
1:02:19
Speaker 1: the Morning Show.
1:02:21
Speaker 12: Happy hump Day, my brother Faith Flagging family, you keep those,
1:02:25
Speaker 12: You're always going to have freedom.
1:02:26
Speaker 1: As long as you have a firearm, you've got it.
1:02:29
Speaker 12: Well that's just a given.
1:02:30
Speaker 4: My friend.
1:02:32
Speaker 12: Have we had any shootings downtown last night? I know
1:02:35
Speaker 12: we had a lot of assaults or anything. Did anybody
1:02:38
Speaker 12: make it home?
1:02:39
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know. Usually if there's a
1:02:41
Speaker 1: shooting that happens late in the reporting cycle overnight or
1:02:45
Speaker 1: into this morning, just tracker will flag it and identify
1:02:48
Speaker 1: it for me. I didn't get any instant mails from
1:02:50
Speaker 1: on that today, so maybe we did have a day
1:02:52
Speaker 1: without a murder or a shooting.
1:02:56
Speaker 12: We have some assaults and everything. But you know, my
1:02:59
Speaker 12: question is is Jesus who reports this from the city.
1:03:04
Speaker 12: I mean, they don't like to report all the assaults
1:03:07
Speaker 12: and shootings and everything. I mean, how do you get
1:03:10
Speaker 12: an accurate report on that from the city.
1:03:13
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I can go back to the
1:03:14
Speaker 1: Clerk of Courts hiding the felony murder dockets from the
1:03:18
Speaker 1: general public, So maybe there is some some of that
1:03:23
Speaker 1: barying of information and other offices. I don't regularly go
1:03:26
Speaker 1: to the Hamilon County Prosecutor's office website or whatever. Since
1:03:30
Speaker 1: the police department website or have I'm not certain where
1:03:33
Speaker 1: those things might be reported, but one may make an
1:03:35
Speaker 1: argument we do have Channel nine, Channel five, Channel twelve,
1:03:39
Speaker 1: Channel nineteen, and we have the Inquirer, a lot of
1:03:42
Speaker 1: opportunities for reporters to look into that and report that
1:03:45
Speaker 1: information to us. So some of it we get some
1:03:47
Speaker 1: of it, maybe we don't.
1:03:50
Speaker 12: Do you think an ABC affiliate would look into it
1:03:53
Speaker 12: as hard as conservative affiliate.
1:03:57
Speaker 1: I don't know, but if we make national headlines, it
1:03:59
Speaker 1: usually all some horrific thing like the late July beatdown
1:04:03
Speaker 1: where Holly got punched in the face for no reason.
1:04:05
Speaker 1: That gives us national attention.
1:04:07
Speaker 12: Bobby, I'll handicap it tomorrow for the weekend assaults and shootings.
1:04:14
Speaker 1: Well, maybe you have to have per of all, we'll
1:04:17
Speaker 1: start pivoting over and say, hey, hey, hey, hey, at
1:04:19
Speaker 1: least we're not as bad as like Chicago or you know,
1:04:23
Speaker 1: fill in the blank on another city that's struggling with
1:04:25
Speaker 1: massive crime problems. I would note then, that the population
1:04:29
Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati is a lot smaller than
1:04:31
Speaker 1: other major metropolitan areas. So anyhow, let's see here. Oh,
1:04:40
Speaker 1: as Los Angeles declared the state of emergency because of
1:04:43
Speaker 1: ice raids. This is preposterous ice raids across La County.
1:04:49
Speaker 1: They've declared an emergency. The county will now be offering
1:04:54
Speaker 1: support to residents who have been impacted by the raids,
1:04:59
Speaker 1: including rent relief and access to state funds for legal aid.
1:05:11
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Declaring a local emergency ensures that the full
1:05:15
Speaker 1: weight of the county government is aligned to support our
1:05:17
Speaker 1: immigrant communities who are being targeted by federal actions. Count
1:05:21
Speaker 1: of departments order to take necessary emergency actions to protect
1:05:25
Speaker 1: and stabilize communities impacted by federal immigration actions. According to
1:05:29
Speaker 1: the release, those officials claim the raids have, in their words,
1:05:33
Speaker 1: created a climate of fear, leading to widespread disruptions in
1:05:38
Speaker 1: daily life and adverse impacts to our regional economy, citing
1:05:43
Speaker 1: decrease workplace attendance, temporary or permanent business closures, and increase
1:05:49
Speaker 1: strain on schools, hospitals, and places of worship. I mean,
1:05:53
Speaker 1: if that's all that is being impacted by ice raids,
1:05:55
Speaker 1: what are the ice people going after. They're going for
1:05:57
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants who snuck into this country violation of law
1:06:01
Speaker 1: and have been active committers of crime. Gang members, folks
1:06:06
Speaker 1: with convictions, folks that have been that are literally criminals,
1:06:12
Speaker 1: and if all these businesses have been impacted by that,
1:06:15
Speaker 1: I guess that means that we've got a lot of
1:06:17
Speaker 1: this element that is working, probably unlawfully in these various businesses.
1:06:24
Speaker 1: Not supposed to be able to hire an illegal immigrant.
1:06:26
Speaker 1: Let's they have a green card, well, that would be
1:06:27
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant. If they have a green card, they'd be employable,
1:06:29
Speaker 1: but they are not employable. So you can see California's
1:06:32
Speaker 1: economy apparently relies not entirely, but heavily on folks are
1:06:40
Speaker 1: in the country illegally, so they're going to get rent
1:06:48
Speaker 1: assistance and free lawyers. Elections have consequences. Folks got an
1:06:58
Speaker 1: opportunity in the city to ames the Dynamic six fifty
1:07:01
Speaker 1: five fifty five Kerseit the talk station. Thank god. Jack
1:07:03
Speaker 1: Atherden's got to be on next Saving Me from Myself,
1:07:06
Speaker 1: with Donovan and Eil following up at seven thirty from
1:07:08
Speaker 1: the Americans for Prosperity Group. We'll talk about the Taxpayer
1:07:11
Speaker 1: Torchu Awards at seven thirty. I sure hope you can
1:07:13
Speaker 1: stick around for those discussions. Today's Tompson seven O six
1:07:20
Speaker 1: at fifty five pair seef he talks games. It being Wednesday,
1:07:23
Speaker 1: this hour, and it's the time of week I always
1:07:25
Speaker 1: look forward to, among other times a week I look
1:07:27
Speaker 1: forward to. It's time for the Big Picture with Jack Atherton,
1:07:29
Speaker 1: Jack Athidin, welcome back to the Morning Show, my friend.
1:07:32
Speaker 1: It was a wonderful thing seeing you and your beautiful
1:07:34
Speaker 1: wife Ainsley at dinner on Saturday night.
1:07:37
Speaker 4: Really was a scrumptious dinner. Thank you both you and Paul.
1:07:41
Speaker 4: And I know where the cooks.
1:07:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, terrific. Yeah yeah, we thank you so much.
1:07:45
Speaker 1: Love to cook. And I'll tell you what, man, that's
1:07:47
Speaker 1: spinach porcini chicken lasagna. We've made that quite a few
1:07:51
Speaker 1: times over the years and it always delivers on awesome.
1:07:54
Speaker 1: So we're glad to be able to serve that to you.
1:07:55
Speaker 1: And we really enjoyed the company on Saturday.
1:08:00
Speaker 13: Don't get me started on dessert. They won't put out
1:08:05
Speaker 13: some of the calories. Let's jump up and down and
1:08:08
Speaker 13: celebrate President Trump's epic made the East Peace Deal. It's
1:08:13
Speaker 13: being shocked up to his destruction of Iran's nuclear threat.
1:08:19
Speaker 13: Also to the unleashing of the US energy that's freed
1:08:22
Speaker 13: us from Joe Biden begging for oil. Everybody remember this, Yes,
1:08:27
Speaker 13: going to Olpeck begging for oil and even went to
1:08:30
Speaker 13: that as well.
1:08:31
Speaker 4: And asked them for oil.
1:08:32
Speaker 13: I believe it, it's all true, but I think it's
1:08:35
Speaker 13: more than Matt Brian. When the President and his team,
1:08:40
Speaker 13: when they have gone abroad and they've achieved this, it
1:08:43
Speaker 13: shows us that there's something eluding us here at home,
1:08:46
Speaker 13: something we must regain if America truly is going to
1:08:50
Speaker 13: be great again. I'm talking about consensus, finding a center
1:08:55
Speaker 13: common ground, not on every issue that's not going to happen,
1:08:59
Speaker 13: but on the ones that matter most. Trump's twenty point
1:09:02
Speaker 13: plan has been accepted by Israel and most Palestinians, and
1:09:07
Speaker 13: also by Muslim nations from Turkey to Indonesia, where Barack
1:09:12
Speaker 13: Obama grew up. They are all embracing this framework for coexistence.
1:09:17
Speaker 13: And that's truly remarkable when you step back and consider
1:09:21
Speaker 13: that no one has been able to bring peace to
1:09:24
Speaker 13: the Middle East since oil was discovered there in nineteen
1:09:28
Speaker 13: o eight. The prosperity that should have followed, not just
1:09:32
Speaker 13: for the princes but for their people instead led to
1:09:36
Speaker 13: dreams of Muslim empire by the likes of you, remember
1:09:40
Speaker 13: this creep. Egypt's Gamal abdel Nasser oh rallied Arabia. He
1:09:45
Speaker 13: declared death to Israel, and everybody joined in. When Israel
1:09:49
Speaker 13: beat back Naser, his place was taken by an even
1:09:53
Speaker 13: bigger bum, Palestinian terrorist, Yaser Arafat, who turned down Never
1:09:59
Speaker 13: forget this. For decades, the Palestinians turned down a two
1:10:03
Speaker 13: state solution, and then of course we had the Iranian Iatolas,
1:10:08
Speaker 13: the worst of all, who were seeking a nuclear weapon.
1:10:11
Speaker 13: And all this time, Brian surrounding Muslim nations exploited the
1:10:16
Speaker 13: hatred of Israel to distract their people from their own
1:10:21
Speaker 13: domestic grievances, just as the Democrats distract their followers from
1:10:26
Speaker 13: all of their failings. Donald Trump finally broke this cycle
1:10:31
Speaker 13: of hatred and violence during his first term with an
1:10:35
Speaker 13: entirely new strategy, the Abraham Accords, named after the common
1:10:40
Speaker 13: ancestor of Arabs and Jews. The Abraham Accords did an
1:10:44
Speaker 13: and run around Hamas and other terroort groups and instead
1:10:48
Speaker 13: offered a vision of cooperation for the entire region of
1:10:53
Speaker 13: Muslims working and trading with Israelis, combining the Arab oil
1:10:58
Speaker 13: with Israel's technological propers and of course Donald Trump being
1:11:03
Speaker 13: Donald Trump, the real estate developer also foresees luxury resort
1:11:08
Speaker 13: hotels on Gaza's Mediterranean coast. But not even the Nobel
1:11:13
Speaker 13: Prize Committee would suggest Trump is only seeking peace in
1:11:17
Speaker 13: order to make money for himself. The consensus our president
1:11:21
Speaker 13: has reached in the Middle East, and from Congo and Rwanda,
1:11:26
Speaker 13: to India and Pakistan, Cambodia and Thailand, and hopefully soon
1:11:32
Speaker 13: Russia and Ukraine. It's already the stuff of legend. In
1:11:36
Speaker 13: ancient times, bards might have celebrated Trump's victories with an
1:11:40
Speaker 13: epic poem.
1:11:42
Speaker 4: The tragedy is that.
1:11:44
Speaker 13: Back here in America, we are not seeing this kind
1:11:47
Speaker 13: of shared purpose, this kind of consensus. The poem that
1:11:51
Speaker 13: sums up the crisis we're facing here at home right
1:11:54
Speaker 13: now was actually written by an Irishman more than one
1:11:57
Speaker 13: hundred years ago. William Butler Yeates called it the Second Coming.
1:12:03
Speaker 13: It's not about Christ returning to Earth. Quite the opposite
1:12:07
Speaker 13: in this poem, composed just after the First World War
1:12:11
Speaker 13: and the Spanish flu pandemic that followed. These disasters were
1:12:15
Speaker 13: eclipsed for Yates by an even bigger catastrophe, the loss
1:12:21
Speaker 13: of shared meaning in the modern world, the loss of values, religion, truth,
1:12:28
Speaker 13: when you lose consensus about all this, Yates wrote, and
1:12:32
Speaker 13: this is the famous line, Brian, things fall apart. The
1:12:37
Speaker 13: center cannot hold. We used to have a center in
1:12:41
Speaker 13: American politics, a belief that the founding and principles of
1:12:45
Speaker 13: America were the greatest in the history of the world.
1:12:48
Speaker 13: What were those principles? That individual rights take precedence over
1:12:53
Speaker 13: big governments of kings, emperors and now leftist elites. That
1:12:59
Speaker 13: individual rights must be secured and protected by limited government,
1:13:04
Speaker 13: as with the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, are
1:13:07
Speaker 13: all about throughout human history. These truths were by no
1:13:13
Speaker 13: means self evident, but they were here in America. Of course,
1:13:17
Speaker 13: we could argue about what those individual rights were, and
1:13:20
Speaker 13: who is entitled to assert them, and how far government
1:13:24
Speaker 13: could go in protecting them. We fought a civil war
1:13:27
Speaker 13: to make real the proposition that all men are created equal.
1:13:31
Speaker 13: Suffragettes then sought a quality for all women. There have
1:13:34
Speaker 13: been fights over the rights of people with different sexual preferences,
1:13:38
Speaker 13: fights to protect the rights of children in the womb,
1:13:42
Speaker 13: and there continue to be fights over the role of government.
1:13:46
Speaker 13: Does government protect our pursuit of happiness or should it
1:13:50
Speaker 13: provide entitlements ranging from public education, to health care, housing,
1:13:56
Speaker 13: even guaranteed income. Does the federal government have the responsibility
1:14:01
Speaker 13: to secure our borders? How far can the government go
1:14:05
Speaker 13: to deny taxpayer benefits and expel illegal immigrants now numbering
1:14:11
Speaker 13: in the tens of millions. Questions like these are not new,
1:14:15
Speaker 13: but we have not seen so much polarization surrounding them
1:14:19
Speaker 13: since the Civil War. There was a time when the
1:14:23
Speaker 13: center did hold and we could meet in the middle
1:14:26
Speaker 13: to debate. For instance, most Republicans during the Great Depression
1:14:31
Speaker 13: considered Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to be socialist and a
1:14:35
Speaker 13: violation of the Constitution. To keep the US Supreme Court
1:14:39
Speaker 13: from striking down his agenda, FDR threatened to pack the
1:14:43
Speaker 13: court with additional justices. The Supreme Court then back down,
1:14:48
Speaker 13: and the federal government has kept growing since then exponentially,
1:14:53
Speaker 13: yet to oppose Roosevelt. In nineteen forty, Republicans nominated a
1:14:58
Speaker 13: businessman from acts gren Ohio, Wendell Wilkie. He kept fighting
1:15:03
Speaker 13: against Roosevelt's domestic agenda, but not in the streets, in
1:15:07
Speaker 13: the courts, and at the ballot box, while supporting FDR's
1:15:11
Speaker 13: foreign policy and Brian It's not just Republicans who sought consensus.
1:15:16
Speaker 13: In nineteen fifty two and again in nineteen fifty six,
1:15:20
Speaker 13: Democrats nominated not someone from the socialist wing of their
1:15:24
Speaker 13: party and not a segregationist from their southern wing, but
1:15:28
Speaker 13: a decent, reasonable patriot. Adlaie Stevenson lost twice to the
1:15:33
Speaker 13: GOP's Dwight Eisenhower, but that's because Ike built even more
1:15:38
Speaker 13: consensus than Adelaide did. Both parties wanted Ike now. Please
1:15:43
Speaker 13: don't get me wrong, Moderation milk toast. Moderation is not
1:15:49
Speaker 13: the answer the Democrats. Lyndon Johnson was not moderate, yet
1:15:53
Speaker 13: LBJ worked with Republicans to pass his civil rights laws.
1:15:58
Speaker 13: Ronald Reagan was not a moderate, but Reagan persuaded reasonable
1:16:03
Speaker 13: Democrats Reagan Democrats to help end the Cold War using persuasion,
1:16:10
Speaker 13: even when enemies sought to destroy him. Donald Trump has
1:16:14
Speaker 13: transformed the GOP from the party of multinational businesses selling
1:16:19
Speaker 13: out American plans and jobs to China, into the party
1:16:23
Speaker 13: of a growing middle class of all races and persuasions.
1:16:27
Speaker 13: Trump has also at last protected America from further invasions
1:16:32
Speaker 13: of undocumented, unvetted, often violent immigrants. Democrats see this as
1:16:39
Speaker 13: a human rights violation. There may be no way to
1:16:42
Speaker 13: reconcile these diametrically opposed visions, but there is a way,
1:16:47
Speaker 13: in my opinion, to bring the country together by persuading
1:16:51
Speaker 13: voters and winning elections decisively with a majority big enough
1:16:57
Speaker 13: to keep the minority from shutting down government. Reaching consensus
1:17:02
Speaker 13: is going to take free and open debate, the kind
1:17:05
Speaker 13: Charlie Kirk was bringing to college campuses like no one
1:17:08
Speaker 13: else when he was gunned down, The kind that believe
1:17:12
Speaker 13: it or not. CBS News may once again allow, under
1:17:16
Speaker 13: its new editor in chief Barry Weiss, who was a
1:17:19
Speaker 13: fierce critic of fake news when she co founded The
1:17:22
Speaker 13: Free Press. Apparently dying, CBS once again wants an audience
1:17:28
Speaker 13: that includes us. Maybe I'm not holding my breath, but
1:17:33
Speaker 13: maybe ABC, NBC, CNN and The New York Times will follow.
1:17:39
Speaker 13: The alternative to persuasion is what William Butler Yates warned against,
1:17:44
Speaker 13: and I quote could conclude mere anarchy is loosed upon
1:17:49
Speaker 13: the world. The best like all conviction, while the worst
1:17:54
Speaker 13: are full of passionate intensity. Brian, I say, let's instead
1:17:58
Speaker 13: get passionate about defending our principles while seeking political consensus
1:18:05
Speaker 13: and winning elections decisively. What do you say, my reasonable friend.
1:18:10
Speaker 1: I think you are being quite reasonable Jack, and I
1:18:12
Speaker 1: feel the pendulum, Like we have a Mississippi James who
1:18:14
Speaker 1: calls fairly regularly. He refers to this pendulum swinging back
1:18:18
Speaker 1: and forth. And I feel as though, in this this
1:18:22
Speaker 1: idea of reaching the consensus, we're kind of getting back
1:18:25
Speaker 1: to some measure of sanity. You know, with Donald Trump's
1:18:28
Speaker 1: emphasis on bringing back American jobs and manufacturing and everybody said,
1:18:31
Speaker 1: oh my god, you can't do that. It's never going
1:18:33
Speaker 1: to happen. We've lost the battle to China and that's cheaper,
1:18:36
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I mean, we've got all of these
1:18:38
Speaker 1: promises and actual actions of billions and billions of dollars
1:18:43
Speaker 1: in investments. Delanis just said they're going to do thirteen billion.
1:18:46
Speaker 1: We had other automobile manufacturers moving back. We had JP
1:18:49
Speaker 1: Morgan announced yesterday a one point five trillion dollar plan
1:18:53
Speaker 1: to boost American manufacturing, which is critical national security. We've
1:18:57
Speaker 1: got nuclear power plants actually going to be coming online
1:19:01
Speaker 1: because the needs of artificial intelligence. The answer to all
1:19:04
Speaker 1: of our prayers has existed for years, and yet the
1:19:07
Speaker 1: left and bureaucrats and regulators have rendered nuclear impossible to accomplish. Well,
1:19:12
Speaker 1: you know what, everybody's moving in that direction now. And
1:19:15
Speaker 1: the American military is now talking about miniature nuclear plants
1:19:18
Speaker 1: to power their bases so they have twenty four to
1:19:20
Speaker 1: seven power just in case China might attack us or something.
1:19:24
Speaker 1: So there's this, I think, the resurgence of what I
1:19:27
Speaker 1: would just call simple common sense. You know, cut down
1:19:31
Speaker 1: the regulatory bears, make it better for us to do
1:19:33
Speaker 1: business in America. You're going to benefit Americans. And look,
1:19:36
Speaker 1: you know, going back to peace in the Middle East.
1:19:38
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was able to get the Abraham Accords in
1:19:39
Speaker 1: his first term, and look what he's accomplished between Israel
1:19:42
Speaker 1: and hamas more Arab leaders coming to the table to
1:19:45
Speaker 1: sit down and say, you know what, it is in
1:19:47
Speaker 1: our best interest to play nicely with each other because
1:19:49
Speaker 1: it's going to help benefit our collective economies and improve
1:19:53
Speaker 1: our collective lives. It's just it's like a fire hose
1:19:58
Speaker 1: of accomplishments we've seen just since January of this year.
1:20:02
Speaker 1: If you just want to look at the last ten months,
1:20:04
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jack, I just feel in a slightly
1:20:07
Speaker 1: more optimistic mood as I'm looking at the news this
1:20:09
Speaker 1: morning that I have in quite some time with all
1:20:11
Speaker 1: the progress that we've been making.
1:20:13
Speaker 13: You are right, Brian, and you're right about this every day.
1:20:16
Speaker 13: But one danger we have to guard against is Democrats
1:20:20
Speaker 13: pretending to nominate a consensus builder who was just another
1:20:24
Speaker 13: left wing ideologue. Barack Obama promised there would be no
1:20:29
Speaker 13: red states, no blue states, just the United States, and
1:20:33
Speaker 13: good old Joe Biden from Scranton. Joe was nominated instead
1:20:37
Speaker 13: of the avowed socialist Bernie Sanders, who at least was
1:20:40
Speaker 13: honest about it. But Jim Clyburn, Nancy Pelosi and other
1:20:44
Speaker 13: Democrat bosses knew that Biden was.
1:20:46
Speaker 4: Just going to be a puppet of the far left.
1:20:49
Speaker 13: Yeah, so we have to look closely at who they
1:20:51
Speaker 13: put up and get beyond most of the news.
1:20:54
Speaker 4: Maybe Barry Weiss.
1:20:55
Speaker 13: Is going to tell us the truth, but we don't
1:20:57
Speaker 13: get it elsewhere.
1:20:58
Speaker 4: We get it here.
1:20:59
Speaker 1: I appreciate at and of course we get it from you.
1:21:01
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm laughing about Joe Biden being basically
1:21:05
Speaker 1: foisted upon the Democrats. I think the Democrats would have
1:21:07
Speaker 1: nominated Bernie Sanders and the realists within the party, and
1:21:12
Speaker 1: even including Nancy Pelosi saw that as a danger sign
1:21:15
Speaker 1: because no, no, no, we can't go full on socialism
1:21:18
Speaker 1: that quickly. We haven't gotten there yet. It's not our
1:21:20
Speaker 1: moment in time. So let's put Joe Biden in there, right,
1:21:24
Speaker 1: And then Joe Biden obviously turns out to be incapable
1:21:27
Speaker 1: of running. So they grabbed Kamala Harris without a democratic process.
1:21:31
Speaker 1: So those who scream and cry foul about the loss
1:21:33
Speaker 1: of democracy are certainly the ones that are well not
1:21:38
Speaker 1: engaging in a democratic process.
1:21:40
Speaker 13: I think Brian, they wanted the socialism as soon as
1:21:43
Speaker 13: they could get it. Yeah, they weren't sure that they
1:21:45
Speaker 13: could get it with somebody who was as forthright about
1:21:48
Speaker 13: a socialism.
1:21:49
Speaker 4: As Bernie Sanders.
1:21:50
Speaker 1: Obama hid it if I may.
1:21:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, As my.
1:21:54
Speaker 13: Wife Ainsley likes to say, Trump is trying to reach
1:21:58
Speaker 13: consensushighlighting eighty twenty issues like the border and men in
1:22:04
Speaker 13: Title nine, women's sports, and so many more issues that
1:22:07
Speaker 13: Democrats can't do that because they're on the twenty side
1:22:11
Speaker 13: of so many issues, the wrong side. But we do
1:22:14
Speaker 13: have to provide an answer to Democrats on one thing,
1:22:17
Speaker 13: and we're beginning to hear about it now. During the shutdown,
1:22:21
Speaker 13: We're going to hear it a lot more between now
1:22:23
Speaker 13: and next November, and that is healthcare. We're going to
1:22:27
Speaker 13: talk maybe next week about how the Republicans fumbled the
1:22:30
Speaker 13: ball during President Trump's first term on healthcare, including an
1:22:35
Speaker 13: Ohio senator, it does not have to be socialized medicine. Instead,
1:22:41
Speaker 13: let's immediately do things like making insurance portable across state lines.
1:22:45
Speaker 13: It's unbelievable that it's not establish health savings accounts. Finally,
1:22:49
Speaker 13: and enact other measures to make the healthcare market more
1:22:53
Speaker 13: competitive and truly affordable.
1:22:57
Speaker 1: Jack Atherton, always great having you in the show. Appreciate
1:23:00
Speaker 1: your thoughts, comments, your insight, and your brilliance every Wednesday
1:23:04
Speaker 1: when we talk. I'll look forward to next Wednesday and
1:23:06
Speaker 1: another edition of the Big Picture. Best of health and
1:23:09
Speaker 1: love to you and Amesley and again great Senior. Saturday night.
1:23:12
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go back to cooking for you. Thanks so much.
1:23:15
Speaker 1: As if you have cares of the Detox Days, Zimmer
1:23:19
Speaker 1: the best of Station. It's seven point thirty here fifty
1:23:27
Speaker 1: five KRS Detalk Dation. Very happy Wednesday to you and
1:23:32
Speaker 1: welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show from
1:23:34
Speaker 1: Americans for Prosperity Donovan and Neil Donovan's always a pleasure
1:23:38
Speaker 1: to have you on the show. Welcome back, Brian, always
1:23:41
Speaker 1: great to be with. You got an award to give out?
1:23:43
Speaker 14: Huh, well we gave.
1:23:45
Speaker 6: It out, Actually we gave it out last night.
1:23:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's talk about it went to Matt Speaker,
1:23:52
Speaker 1: Speaker Matt Huffman, and this is in connection with your
1:23:57
Speaker 1: your your efforts with the Buckeye Blueprint campaign. I guess
1:24:00
Speaker 1: you've been given this award way for several years now.
1:24:04
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, actually, and I don't know if you recall
1:24:07
Speaker 6: this brance was years ago, but you actually were there
1:24:09
Speaker 6: for our inaugural Taxpayer Torch Award when we gave that
1:24:12
Speaker 6: in twenty seventeen to John Houstead for his work as
1:24:15
Speaker 6: Secretary of State. So this is an award that we
1:24:20
Speaker 6: gave for a number of years. It unfortunately got sidelined.
1:24:24
Speaker 6: I think no one really knows the lower history of
1:24:26
Speaker 6: white got sidelined, but that was around COVID time. We
1:24:31
Speaker 6: decided to bring it back though, because of the outsized
1:24:36
Speaker 6: impact that then Senate President now Speaker Matt Huffman played
1:24:41
Speaker 6: in accomplishing so many important reforms last session into this
1:24:47
Speaker 6: session coupled with holding the line on some really bad bills.
1:24:51
Speaker 6: And I'd been on your show and talked about him,
1:24:53
Speaker 6: but some really bad bills that had moved out of
1:24:55
Speaker 6: the Ohio House and over the Senate. So just played
1:24:58
Speaker 6: an outsized impact in so many different happy to talk
1:25:00
Speaker 6: about them. But that compelled us to say, Hey, we
1:25:04
Speaker 6: going to bring this award back, and there's somebody who
1:25:07
Speaker 6: is well deserving of it, and then hopefully that'll inspire
1:25:09
Speaker 6: some other folks down the line to try to compete
1:25:12
Speaker 6: and earn that earn that recognition in the future.
1:25:15
Speaker 1: All right, what kind of factors are you looking for
1:25:18
Speaker 1: with this and what specifically did you identify with with
1:25:22
Speaker 1: Matt Huffman.
1:25:24
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, and one of the things that we were,
1:25:26
Speaker 6: you know, in particular, looking for is bold conservative leaders
1:25:29
Speaker 6: who stand firm for reform and deliver results. And so
1:25:33
Speaker 6: when you look at last session into this year, we
1:25:36
Speaker 6: expanded school choice for all Ohiolands. Yes, we moved from
1:25:40
Speaker 6: four brackets down to two, and then just in the
1:25:43
Speaker 6: last six months moved that down to one bracket, a
1:25:45
Speaker 6: flat income tax bracket. We protected folks from costly mandates
1:25:51
Speaker 6: on energy bills, and in fact, in just the first
1:25:54
Speaker 6: four months of this year unleashed energy production here in
1:25:57
Speaker 6: Ohio by streamlining and speeding up permitting processes, regulatory reform,
1:26:03
Speaker 6: property tax relief, which continues to be debated and discussed,
1:26:06
Speaker 6: but they're moving bills on that issue in Columbus. Will
1:26:10
Speaker 6: be there today actually testifying on one in particular regarding
1:26:14
Speaker 6: the twenty mill four but and in holding the line
1:26:15
Speaker 6: on government spending. All of this, right, Brian, these are
1:26:19
Speaker 6: the foundational pieces of our Buckeye Blueprint, and so all
1:26:22
Speaker 6: of that accomplished in the last twenty four so months.
1:26:26
Speaker 6: Much much more work to be done, right, we're now
1:26:28
Speaker 6: near arriving. But that's the kind of leadership, right, that
1:26:34
Speaker 6: comes from helping elect Buckeye Blueprint champion state representatives and
1:26:39
Speaker 6: senators right who then elevate leadership like Speaker Matt Huffman
1:26:44
Speaker 6: into that position of leadership to provide that vision that
1:26:46
Speaker 6: ultimately helps move us closer to being the number one
1:26:49
Speaker 6: state in the nation for freedom and prosperity.
1:26:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's hope so. And I know, obviously the points
1:26:55
Speaker 1: that you made are fantastic ones. I got to cling
1:26:59
Speaker 1: to the property tax comment because we of course had
1:27:02
Speaker 1: some suggestions from Mike Dwin's Blue Ribbon Committee, which didn't
1:27:06
Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense to meybe quite candid
1:27:07
Speaker 1: with you, but Afterdwine veto the ones that were in
1:27:10
Speaker 1: the budget. But we're moving fast toward this property tax
1:27:14
Speaker 1: appeal next year, and I think more and more people
1:27:16
Speaker 1: are going to sign the petition to get it on
1:27:17
Speaker 1: the ballot, and more and more people are going to
1:27:19
Speaker 1: gravitate towards doing that. It's going to force Columbus to
1:27:21
Speaker 1: do some tough work. And where's Americans for prosperity on
1:27:27
Speaker 1: that whole pile there? That the whole mess that we're
1:27:31
Speaker 1: dealing with right now. If you guys come up with
1:27:33
Speaker 1: a solution of your own, don't want to put you
1:27:34
Speaker 1: on the spot, but I am no quit or right.
1:27:38
Speaker 6: We've actually been talking about this issue for a while
1:27:40
Speaker 6: and while eliminating how's income taxes are number one priority,
1:27:44
Speaker 6: capping or reforming property taxes here in the state of
1:27:47
Speaker 6: Ohio is a very close number two, or maybe it's
1:27:50
Speaker 6: one a right, and that it's something that many of
1:27:53
Speaker 6: our our constituents and volunteers have been talking about.
1:27:56
Speaker 10: Now. What we would like to see happen, right is
1:27:58
Speaker 10: that the there.
1:28:00
Speaker 6: Reforms that the General Assembly had vetted and reviewed last
1:28:04
Speaker 6: General Assembly so just about twelve months ago, have been
1:28:08
Speaker 6: incorporated into legislation this year, has been debated, vetted, much
1:28:12
Speaker 6: of it's moved through committee, a lot of it actually
1:28:14
Speaker 6: ended up in the state budget to wind vetoed it
1:28:17
Speaker 6: as probably recall and a lot of that would have
1:28:19
Speaker 6: helped bring transparency to the system, would have capped the
1:28:23
Speaker 6: ability for these spikes and increases, and would have put
1:28:27
Speaker 6: some more accountability mechanisms in place at a local level
1:28:31
Speaker 6: to get that done. If that doesn't happen, right, that's
1:28:34
Speaker 6: where that threat of eliminating the ability to levey a
1:28:36
Speaker 6: property tax in the state outright hang. The concern there
1:28:40
Speaker 6: right just speaking pragmatically, and it's coming from a guy
1:28:45
Speaker 6: who works for an organization that advocating to eliminate the
1:28:47
Speaker 6: income tax in the state. So I don't like taxes, period,
1:28:49
Speaker 6: but there's a large shortfall that would impact police and
1:28:54
Speaker 6: fire and roads and bridges, infrastructure, much of the public
1:28:58
Speaker 6: services most people kind of look to go govern meant
1:29:00
Speaker 6: to do, and there's not really a plan to backfill
1:29:03
Speaker 6: that right now. And so what we really I think
1:29:07
Speaker 6: need to have happened. I think most of Highlands want
1:29:09
Speaker 6: to see have happened, is that we get these reforms
1:29:12
Speaker 6: into place that give the taxpayer more control over their
1:29:15
Speaker 6: local jurisdiction so that we don't see these unvoted increases occur,
1:29:20
Speaker 6: that we don't see these spikes, and that when people
1:29:22
Speaker 6: want to understand what's going on with their tax bill,
1:29:24
Speaker 6: they can do it. David Thomas is doing a lot
1:29:27
Speaker 6: of works.
1:29:27
Speaker 5: They were up.
1:29:28
Speaker 6: David Thomas from the entire other side of the state,
1:29:29
Speaker 6: from your listeners in Ashton Villa County has doing a
1:29:32
Speaker 6: ton of work and won't be testifying on a.
1:29:34
Speaker 10: Bill that addresses some of these issues later today.
1:29:37
Speaker 6: In the House Waves and Means Committee.
1:29:39
Speaker 1: What of the notion that we wouldn't have to worry
1:29:41
Speaker 1: about the property tax if we just were able to
1:29:43
Speaker 1: successfully eliminate all the fraud, waste and abuse that exists
1:29:46
Speaker 1: in our state government's budget. I mean, I keep hearing
1:29:48
Speaker 1: this all the time. You know, Medicaid, Medicare and the
1:29:52
Speaker 1: amount of people who are improperly registered for that. If
1:29:55
Speaker 1: we just clawed back that money or didn't send it
1:29:57
Speaker 1: out in the first place, are budget would be much
1:30:01
Speaker 1: better shape without a doubt.
1:30:05
Speaker 6: I mean, and that's one of the things that is
1:30:07
Speaker 6: being worked on, right but it's a massive bohemoth.
1:30:10
Speaker 5: Not to create excuses.
1:30:11
Speaker 6: There is a was a proposal put into the state
1:30:13
Speaker 6: budget that would have the state auditor go in look
1:30:19
Speaker 6: at Medicaid millionaires and if the Medicaid system is actually
1:30:24
Speaker 6: properly reviewing in a post COVID era, who is actually.
1:30:28
Speaker 10: Getting these dollars.
1:30:30
Speaker 6: It's incredibly costly. It's the number one expense for the state.
1:30:35
Speaker 6: But here's the deal, Brian, in local property taxes that
1:30:41
Speaker 6: if they're eliminated overnight, that's equivalent, you know, two years
1:30:48
Speaker 6: of education funding from the setting that comes to about
1:30:50
Speaker 6: twenty two to twenty three billion dollars. And so it's
1:30:52
Speaker 6: a large chunk of money. And that Medicaid audit may
1:30:56
Speaker 6: only identify about a billion dollars. A billion's a big number, yeah,
1:31:00
Speaker 6: but it may only identify a billion. There's a lot
1:31:03

1:32:57
Speaker 1: thanks for calling this morning, Welcome to the show.
1:33:00
Speaker 14: Thank you very much.
1:33:01
Speaker 16: I appreciate it.
1:33:02
Speaker 14: I just wanted to say that I guess it's been
1:33:05
Speaker 14: about twenty years ago the Supreme Court of the State
1:33:07
Speaker 14: of Ohio said that the school property tax, yeah, was unconstitutional.
1:33:14
Speaker 12: Yes, they gave them.
1:33:16
Speaker 1: You were tuned in at five o'clock. That's okay, you
1:33:18
Speaker 1: brought this back up. But yeah, we had this conversation
1:33:20
Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour. I think was Jay that brought
1:33:22
Speaker 1: it up. You're right, twenty plus years ago. Ill, it's unconstitutional.
1:33:27
Speaker 1: Yet no one has done anything to change the school funding.
1:33:30
Speaker 1: How is that, Bob? How is it possible, Bob, that
1:33:32
Speaker 1: they've ignored the Supreme courts dictate from a couple of
1:33:35
Speaker 1: decades ago.
1:33:36
Speaker 14: I don't know, I have I don't either, but somebody
1:33:40
Speaker 14: needs to do something. Yeah, I would if I could. Well,
1:33:43
Speaker 14: I don't have the money to go to court that far.
1:33:45
Speaker 1: Well, you couldn't see. That's the point I brought up
1:33:47
Speaker 1: this morning. I think the reason and this is just
1:33:50
Speaker 1: me speculating. I'll acknowledge up front it could be wrong
1:33:52
Speaker 1: on this. No one has standing to bring that action.
1:33:56
Speaker 1: Standing is a weird concept in the law and it's
1:33:59
Speaker 1: something with everybody struggles with. But you have to be
1:34:01
Speaker 1: able to have a unique harm that you personally have
1:34:05
Speaker 1: something that has impacted you or your organization in a
1:34:08
Speaker 1: unique way that everyone doesn't suffer. If we all suffer
1:34:13
Speaker 1: equally under whatever we're trying to contest here, then you
1:34:15
Speaker 1: don't have a unique opportunity to contest it in court. Now,
1:34:18
Speaker 1: there's got to be some human being out there that
1:34:21
Speaker 1: can make some sort of demonstration that they have standing
1:34:24
Speaker 1: to attack this and go after the state of Ohio
1:34:26
Speaker 1: for ignoring its own Supreme Court. But though so far
1:34:29
Speaker 1: and fast forward, you know, I mean, we rewind twenty
1:34:32
Speaker 1: years and wonder why that hasn't happened since then? And
1:34:34
Speaker 1: that's the only thing I can come up with.
1:34:36
Speaker 14: It's my understanding is that it has not been stopped
1:34:43
Speaker 14: because the Supreme Court did not put an end date.
1:34:46
Speaker 14: They said, in a reasonable length of time the change
1:34:50
Speaker 14: should be made.
1:34:53
Speaker 1: And you know, at the moment in time that that
1:34:55
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision was handed out, If in fact that's
1:34:57
Speaker 1: what it says, who would be arguing that twenty plus
1:35:01
Speaker 1: years is even within the realm of reasonable How many
1:35:05
Speaker 1: election cycles have we gone through since that decision came down? Bob?
1:35:09
Speaker 1: I mean, Lord Almighty, That's why that's why I love this,
1:35:14
Speaker 1: This this threat of eliminating property taxes in the constitution.
1:35:20
Speaker 1: I just like it as a threat. It's going to
1:35:22
Speaker 1: force some action in Columbus. There is no question in
1:35:25
Speaker 1: my mind about that. And they better damn we'll get
1:35:27
Speaker 1: on it very quickly because it'll be November next year
1:35:30
Speaker 1: before you know it. And I feel I feel very
1:35:32
Speaker 1: confidently they're get enough signatures to put that on the ballot.
1:35:36
Speaker 14: Right Oh, I agree, yep, I agree well as I.
1:35:39
Speaker 1: Always say, Bob, keep that pop yep, keep that popcorn out.
1:35:42
Speaker 1: And you know what, it's gonna get even more interesting
1:35:45
Speaker 1: if we do constitutionally repeal property tax in this state
1:35:49
Speaker 1: of Aisle. I'm kind of giddy with excitement over that notion, Bob,
1:35:54
Speaker 1: just to see how it, just to see what the
1:35:56
Speaker 1: reaction is going to be. Chaos will most certainly ensue. Bob.
1:35:59
Speaker 1: Good good to hear from me, And I'm glad you
1:36:01
Speaker 1: brought that one back up to the top seven forty six.
1:36:03
Speaker 1: Right now you can feel free to call love to

1:38:17

Speaker 15: an accident in twenty eight in Milford and they just
1:38:28
Speaker 15: cleared the wreck at Loveland. Traffic slowed from before the
1:38:31
Speaker 15: Milford Parkway. Chuck abramam fifty five krs the talk station.
1:38:39
Speaker 1: Seven fifty one here fifty five kri see detalk station
1:38:43
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday. Feel free to call ife you like uh
1:38:49
Speaker 1: in connection with this government shutdown? Yes, the government's still
1:38:51
Speaker 1: shut down. It's all over these healthcare costs. And I
1:38:54
Speaker 1: saw this quote from Senator Chris Van Holland Democrat Donald
1:38:57
Speaker 1: Trump come to the negotiation table. Quote, bring down costs
1:39:02
Speaker 1: and prices and stop inflicting harm and terrorizing federal employees
1:39:06
Speaker 1: and the American people. Bring down costs and prices. Oh,
1:39:09
Speaker 1: is that all there is doing? And what is his
1:39:12
Speaker 1: solution and the Democrats solution bring down cost and prices? Well,
1:39:15
Speaker 1: it is to continue to supplement and subsidize through federal
1:39:19
Speaker 1: tax dollars right your insurance premiums, getting rid of the
1:39:25
Speaker 1: financial cap It was four hundred percent of poverty before
1:39:27
Speaker 1: they well blew them away because of COVID, and now
1:39:30
Speaker 1: we're back to going back to four hundred percent of
1:39:31
Speaker 1: poverty level. So another reason you might want to get
1:39:33
Speaker 1: in touch with cover sincy. If you are now making
1:39:36
Speaker 1: more than sixty five hundred and one dollar, I guess
1:39:40
Speaker 1: then you're going to lose this credit, so that may
1:39:43
Speaker 1: impact your healthcare landscape. But this notion that this piece
1:39:49
Speaker 1: of legislation they're proposing isn't going to cost, is going
1:39:52
Speaker 1: to bring down the cost it's not touching, is not
1:39:55
Speaker 1: doing a damn thing to lower the cost of medicine.
1:40:00
Speaker 1: And in fact, many people will argue, including me, that
1:40:02
Speaker 1: it actually causes the price of medicine to increase. If
1:40:05
Speaker 1: you are free from the burden of having to pay
1:40:08
Speaker 1: for something and the federal supplement's going to go directly
1:40:11
Speaker 1: to the medical providers, do you think they're going to
1:40:13
Speaker 1: lower their prices or they're going to increase their prices.
1:40:16
Speaker 1: See the landscape of college education. The more you supplement,
1:40:21
Speaker 1: the more you pad it, the more that you give
1:40:24
Speaker 1: people the perception that it's less expensive than it is. Well,
1:40:27
Speaker 1: the more idea that you're offloading these expensive to the taxpayers,
1:40:30
Speaker 1: meaning that the entities receiving the money have no incentive
1:40:33
Speaker 1: to lower their costs in order to compete. So nobody
1:40:39
Speaker 1: is lowering the cost of medicine. Market forces might do that.
1:40:44
Speaker 1: I talk with Eric Trump the other day. If you
1:40:46
Speaker 1: didn't get a copy of his book, check out the
1:40:47
Speaker 1: podcast at fifty five ksy dot com. What a great
1:40:49
Speaker 1: conversation with Eric. And I didn't ask him, but I
1:40:53
Speaker 1: did note the cost of litigation, and the litigation that
1:40:55
Speaker 1: was waged against Donald Trump was relentless from the moment
1:40:59
Speaker 1: he walked down the steps to the moment he was well,
1:41:01
Speaker 1: not elected. Some they laugh at that suggestion. No, he
1:41:07
Speaker 1: was elected. It was stolen. But whether you are in
1:41:08
Speaker 1: that position or not, we did have four years of
1:41:10
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. But I was curious to know about the
1:41:13
Speaker 1: overall expense. And he was on I Guess Fox News
1:41:18
Speaker 1: with Steve Doocey just yesterday and he said the words
1:41:21
Speaker 1: out loud, who among us? And this is one of
1:41:25
Speaker 1: those there? But for the grace of God, go aye.
1:41:27
Speaker 1: While Letitia James is screaming now about lawfair after she
1:41:32
Speaker 1: waged lawfair against Donald Trump, suing him when there was
1:41:35
Speaker 1: no harm and no damage in connection with his real
1:41:38
Speaker 1: estate valuations. Talked about that with Eric as well. It
1:41:43
Speaker 1: was in thesane case. The bank itself said they were
1:41:46
Speaker 1: not harmed. They've got all their money back, plus the
1:41:48
Speaker 1: interest that was promised on the loan, and they said
1:41:50
Speaker 1: they would love to do business with Donald Trump. Again,
1:41:52
Speaker 1: that's the person who was allegedly harmed by Donald Trump's
1:41:55
Speaker 1: valuation of real estate. Right, do you know much all
1:42:00
Speaker 1: that litigation costs to Trump's He said, we probably spent
1:42:05
Speaker 1: four hundred million dollars defending ourselves against well, absolutely nothing,
1:42:13
Speaker 1: just because they wanted to take us down, one man,
1:42:17
Speaker 1: one family, four hundred million dollars. And if Donald Trump
1:42:23
Speaker 1: wasn't the wealthy person he is, he would have had
1:42:25
Speaker 1: to rely on contributions from people out in the world.
1:42:28
Speaker 1: I suppose it go fund me campaign or wealthy, well healed,
1:42:32
Speaker 1: well connected investors who would probably loan him money or
1:42:35
Speaker 1: give him money to defend himself and then maybe perhaps
1:42:38
Speaker 1: expect favors in return. So Donald Trump wrote his own
1:42:41
Speaker 1: checks and successfully defended himself for four years to the
1:42:44
Speaker 1: ten of four hundred million dollars. There's a lot of
1:42:47
Speaker 1: lawyers out there that're really happy about that. And very
1:42:49
Speaker 1: quickly here speaking of money, congratulations. You can't take Thomas
1:42:55
Speaker 1: Massey down. In spite of the best efforts of all
1:42:57
Speaker 1: those folks out there saying Thomas Massey's a bad guy.
1:42:59
Speaker 1: That will be Donald Trump and a lot of other
1:43:01
Speaker 1: people out there, most notably because of the Epstein files
1:43:04
Speaker 1: that he wants to release. Thomas Massy reported a record
1:43:09
Speaker 1: contribution quarter. He reported north of three quarters of a
1:43:13
Speaker 1: million dollars raised in the third quarter of this year
1:43:16
Speaker 1: for his election next year, a record quarter for him.
1:43:19
Speaker 1: His prior record six hundred and forty eight thousand dollars.
1:43:23
Speaker 1: So he's already got more than two million dollars in
1:43:25
Speaker 1: the bank for the twenty twenty six election cycle. Thank
1:43:28
Speaker 1: you to my friends and the Commonwealth and everybody else
1:43:30
Speaker 1: who donated to Thomas Massey. He is not the man
1:43:34
Speaker 1: you want to mess with. Coming up on some fifty

1:45:24
Speaker 1: And an interesting element of your seminar now, part of
1:45:27
Speaker 1: me wants to say, well, if you're using chat GPT,
1:45:31
Speaker 1: you're not doing the work and you're not learning anything.
1:45:34
Speaker 1: It's like you sit there in front of it with
1:45:36
Speaker 1: your mouth open, a little bit of drool coming out
1:45:38
Speaker 1: of the corner of your mouth. You let it do
1:45:39
Speaker 1: all the work for you, and then you regurgitate it
1:45:42
Speaker 1: back to whatever source you're seeking the information for. But
1:45:45
Speaker 1: you have a different viewpoint on this. You can use
1:45:48
Speaker 1: it to learn, right.
1:45:50
Speaker 3: So that's the point of my talk is really how
1:45:53
Speaker 3: to use chat GPT to teach yourself anything. That's really
1:45:57
Speaker 3: the point where I'm coming from with this is I've,
1:46:01
Speaker 3: as you sort of alluded to this, I've been a
1:46:03
Speaker 3: sort of an autodidactor. I teach myself things all my life,
1:46:08
Speaker 3: and I during the COVID I actually spent about thirty
1:46:13
Speaker 3: five hours studying MR and A vaccines and how they work.
1:46:16
Speaker 3: I really needed to understand them for personal reasons, and
1:46:20
Speaker 3: so that was a huge self directed learning project. And
1:46:25
Speaker 3: I was sort of shocked because I would talk to
1:46:27
Speaker 3: other people, friends and acquaintances about these vaccines and they
1:46:30
Speaker 3: knew nothing about it. And I could see that they
1:46:32
Speaker 3: had no interest in learning about it. You know, they
1:46:34
Speaker 3: almost felt like they couldn't understand it if they tried.
1:46:36
Speaker 3: So I realized, like, wow, you know, maybe a lot
1:46:39
Speaker 3: of people don't teach themselves things. And then when I
1:46:41
Speaker 3: discovered chat bots, I'll tell you I esked them that
1:46:45
Speaker 3: I spent about thirty five hours teaching myself about MR
1:46:48
Speaker 3: and A vaccines that if I had had a chatbot,
1:46:49
Speaker 3: I think I could have cut it to fifteen.
1:46:52
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, well you know what. I have to
1:46:54
Speaker 1: interject this because we went back and forth with my son.
1:46:57
Speaker 1: My son is now thirty one. He was in the
1:46:59
Speaker 1: computer engineering department at Ohio State University, and I think
1:47:03
Speaker 1: that speaks volumes to his his his intellect because it's
1:47:06
Speaker 1: tough to get in there. So he spends about a
1:47:08
Speaker 1: year and a half and then he drops out and
1:47:10
Speaker 1: we're what are you doing? You're not paying for it,
1:47:12
Speaker 1: Just get the damn degree. I don't want to sit
1:47:14
Speaker 1: in front of a computer doing coding. And besides, Mom
1:47:17
Speaker 1: and Dad, I can teach it myself. And we're like, well,
1:47:21
Speaker 1: well he ended up doing that. He'd got certificates for
1:47:24
Speaker 1: computer security. He knows how to code. He did it
1:47:26
Speaker 1: all himself. He taught himself, so it can be done.
1:47:29
Speaker 1: And I make this point regularly because he convinced us
1:47:33
Speaker 1: that he was right. Why spend all the extra money
1:47:37
Speaker 1: and resources when all of this material is readily available.
1:47:39
Speaker 1: Why would you spend one hundred thousand dollars to get
1:47:42
Speaker 1: an art degree when there's countless books on art. You
1:47:45
Speaker 1: can self direct and learn all you want to know
1:47:48
Speaker 1: about your favorite hobby without having some teacher tell you
1:47:50
Speaker 1: how to do it. I think people are paying college
1:47:52
Speaker 1: tuition for the structure, the forced obligation to learn right.
1:47:58
Speaker 3: Right right, And that's you know. What I'm going to
1:48:00
Speaker 3: do in the talk is it's broken into three parts.
1:48:03
Speaker 3: So the first part, and I feel this is critical
1:48:06
Speaker 3: for people who want to teach themselves things right the
1:48:08
Speaker 3: way that your son did. The first part, I'm going
1:48:11
Speaker 3: to walk through the learning process. So I've broken the
1:48:14
Speaker 3: learning process into six steps. You set a goal, you
1:48:17
Speaker 3: gather information, you vet the information, then you have to
1:48:20
Speaker 3: do the hard work to understand at a deep level
1:48:24
Speaker 3: that information. Then you structure it, and then you integrate
1:48:28
Speaker 3: it into your current knowledge base.
1:48:29
Speaker 1: Right.
1:48:30
Speaker 3: So I'm going to walk through this self directed learning
1:48:32
Speaker 3: process so people understand the process and how it works
1:48:36
Speaker 3: at each stage. Then I'm going to give an overview
1:48:39
Speaker 3: of chatbots, and specifically I'm going to use chat GPT
1:48:42
Speaker 3: because it's so popular, right, But I want to show people,
1:48:45
Speaker 3: you know, you know, this is what a chatbot is,
1:48:48
Speaker 3: this is the interface. These are the features that are
1:48:52
Speaker 3: critical and really helpful in self directed learning. But I
1:48:55
Speaker 3: think another important thing is to teach them how these
1:49:00
Speaker 3: so called large language models work, because I think if
1:49:03
Speaker 3: you can understand how large language models work, you can
1:49:06
Speaker 3: be more effective in using chatbots to learn, you know.
1:49:10
Speaker 3: And then the third part I'm going to synthesize the two.
1:49:12
Speaker 3: Then I'm going to close off by walking through the
1:49:15
Speaker 3: each steps of each of the six steps of learning
1:49:17
Speaker 3: again and tying off, how do you you know specific
1:49:21
Speaker 3: ways you use the chatbot to optimize your learning at
1:49:24
Speaker 3: each stage. Okay, So I think it's really going to
1:49:26
Speaker 3: be helpful for people to sort of sort of codify
1:49:29
Speaker 3: this process for people if they do want to jump
1:49:32
Speaker 3: in and try to teach themselves things.
1:49:33
Speaker 1: You know, right, if you have a motivation to teach
1:49:35
Speaker 1: yourself something, this is an ideal class to do it
1:49:37
Speaker 1: because it is it being the information on whatever topic
1:49:41
Speaker 1: you want is out there in the world. So the
1:49:44
Speaker 1: key element that I want to focus on just here
1:49:46
Speaker 1: for at least a moment, Michael is vetting. You've got
1:49:50
Speaker 1: vetting in here, and of course Vetting suggests to me
1:49:52
Speaker 1: you need to understand how reliable whatever given source is,
1:49:55
Speaker 1: where the source material came from, so you know, if
1:49:57
Speaker 1: it's some sort of like learned treatise or it's just
1:49:59
Speaker 1: made up whole cloth because I keep hearing I mean
1:50:03
Speaker 1: almost daily, and I'm sure you do as well. Idiot lawyers,
1:50:06
Speaker 1: for example, who let chat GPT or some other AI
1:50:09
Speaker 1: program create case law that they don't even bother going
1:50:12
Speaker 1: back to the original law books or go to Lexus
1:50:14
Speaker 1: and Nexus or West Law to find out if it's
1:50:16
Speaker 1: a real case law and behold, it's not. It makes
1:50:18
Speaker 1: up stuff. How do you know? How can you vet
1:50:21
Speaker 1: what you're reading and know whether it's even real or not?
1:50:23
Speaker 3: Michael, Well, that's a good point, you know, so that
1:50:26
Speaker 3: you're getting at the in terms of vetting, that's the
1:50:28
Speaker 3: you're right, the information literacy judging whether something is accurate
1:50:33
Speaker 3: and correct, right, So I guess that that's part of
1:50:35
Speaker 3: the vetting. And one one way you do this is
1:50:38
Speaker 3: I would say, first of all, don't just trust. You
1:50:40
Speaker 3: can't blindly trust the chatbot.
1:50:42
Speaker 10: You can't.
1:50:42
Speaker 3: So you you know, you've got to go out and
1:50:44
Speaker 3: cross reference things. You can ask it to give you
1:50:47
Speaker 3: sources and then you can link to those sources and
1:50:49
Speaker 3: look at the source and see if you, in your judgment,
1:50:52
Speaker 3: it's accurate.
1:50:52
Speaker 16: Right.
1:50:54
Speaker 3: So information literacy and judging the validity and truthfulness of
1:50:58
Speaker 3: information is part of the vetting. The other part is
1:51:01
Speaker 3: is vetting information in terms of determining what what do
1:51:05
Speaker 3: you given your goal? Right, Since you're the teacher, you're
1:51:09
Speaker 3: setting the goal, and you have an internal motivation, right,
1:51:11
Speaker 3: you want to you want to learn what you're studying
1:51:14
Speaker 3: for internal reasons.
1:51:15
Speaker 4: Right.
1:51:15
Speaker 3: It's not like you're taking a course and the goal
1:51:17
Speaker 3: is given to you, right, Right, So you want to
1:51:20
Speaker 3: use your intrinsic goals as the guide post for judging
1:51:25
Speaker 3: whether or not the information you're you're finding that could
1:51:29
Speaker 3: be relevant to the goal is actually relevant. So you're
1:51:32
Speaker 3: going to find there are things like, Okay, it's tangential,
1:51:34
Speaker 3: I don't really need to understand that at a deep
1:51:36
Speaker 3: level given my goal.
1:51:37
Speaker 10: Right.
1:51:37
Speaker 3: So that's the other part of vetting. So so it's
1:51:41
Speaker 3: it's sort of you know both of those things, right, Yeah,
1:51:44
Speaker 3: judging the relevance but also the validity of the information,
1:51:46
Speaker 3: and it's it's all going to like primary sources and
1:51:49
Speaker 3: checking multiple sources to make sure it's it's it's.
1:51:52
Speaker 1: Truthful and having a fundamental knowledge of what a primary
1:51:55
Speaker 1: source is also is a helpful thing to have going
1:51:58
Speaker 1: into the process, isn't it.
1:52:00
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's true. That's true.
1:52:02
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:52:03
Speaker 3: So but even that, you know, there's there's a lot
1:52:05
Speaker 3: of judgment that comes to that because you could have
1:52:08
Speaker 3: a primary source, but it could be biased, like you know,
1:52:11
Speaker 3: for example.
1:52:12
Speaker 1: Like a scientific consensus exactly.
1:52:17
Speaker 3: I was going to say, a research study going back
1:52:19
Speaker 3: to COVID. Right, you could have a research study on
1:52:20
Speaker 3: the vaccines or byromectin or whatever it is, right, and
1:52:25
Speaker 3: you you have to bring you know, it could be
1:52:27
Speaker 3: biased science, right, The people doing the study could could
1:52:31
Speaker 3: have been biased, they could have changed data. So you
1:52:34
Speaker 3: have to bring some judgment, and you know, there is
1:52:36
Speaker 3: some guesswork in estimating. It's not a perfect process, but
1:52:40
Speaker 3: you can do pretty well, I think, you know.
1:52:42
Speaker 1: So, So for example, if I'm interested in like whether
1:52:45
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide is bad for people or something, you're going
1:52:47
Speaker 1: to have research studies would suggest it is some sort
1:52:49
Speaker 1: of greenhouse gas, and it'll make that conclusion based upon
1:52:52
Speaker 1: some other scientific consensus. But then again you can ask
1:52:55
Speaker 1: it to provide an alternative viewpoint of that, can you not?
1:53:00
Speaker 1: So it would go to other sources?
1:53:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect, Yeah, perfect point.
1:53:05
Speaker 16: Yes you can.
1:53:06
Speaker 3: And that's see that's the great thing about the chat.
1:53:08
Speaker 3: This is the thing with the chatbots, right, it's you.
1:53:11
Speaker 3: I basically look at these chatbots as they're they're expert
1:53:15
Speaker 3: level tutors on every subject, right that are available twenty
1:53:20
Speaker 3: four to seven. You can access them twenty four to
1:53:22
Speaker 3: seven and they can speak to you at any level
1:53:24
Speaker 3: of detail you want.
1:53:26
Speaker 4: Right.
1:53:27
Speaker 3: So, so what you're doing is through this iterative process,
1:53:30
Speaker 3: I chat with these chat bots like I'm chatting with
1:53:32
Speaker 3: a with a teacher or a person right right. And
1:53:35
Speaker 3: what it's doing is it's continuously with every iteration of
1:53:38
Speaker 3: your conversation, it's continuously refining it's understanding of your perspective
1:53:45
Speaker 3: until it gets to a point where it's it's what
1:53:47
Speaker 3: I call mirror cognitive mirroring or cognitive achieving cognitive alignment.
1:53:54
Speaker 4: With with you?
1:53:55
Speaker 10: Right? You get?
1:53:58
Speaker 1: Is that you getting an answer you ultimately want, Like
1:54:02
Speaker 1: an expert. If I hire an expert as a lawyer,
1:54:05
Speaker 1: I'm pretty darn certain I can get that expert to
1:54:07
Speaker 1: reach a conclusion that's beneficial to my client. Can you
1:54:10
Speaker 1: do that with chat, GPT or other AI resources?
1:54:14
Speaker 4: You can?
1:54:14
Speaker 3: It's it's through you know, the more it understands your goal. So,
1:54:17
Speaker 3: what one thing I'm going to lay out in the
1:54:19
Speaker 3: talk is how do you accelerate through the process of
1:54:22
Speaker 3: having it aligned with you cognitively? Right, Sure you can,
1:54:26
Speaker 3: so you can almost do like a brain dump at
1:54:29
Speaker 3: the beginning of the project, so it fully understands what
1:54:32
Speaker 3: you want to do.
1:54:33
Speaker 10: And this is the thing, Brian.
1:54:34
Speaker 3: Once it knows, if it knows you're working on a project,
1:54:36
Speaker 3: say like, I use chat GPT to learn about large
1:54:39
Speaker 3: language models and chatbots for this for this talk I'm
1:54:43
Speaker 3: to give right, And once it new that, I'm like, Okay,
1:54:47
Speaker 3: he's working on this presentation. He wants to understand them,
1:54:50
Speaker 3: but he wants to understand them at a way, at
1:54:52
Speaker 3: a level at which he can explain them to a layperson, right,
1:54:55
Speaker 3: And he himself is not like a tech expert, right,
1:54:57
Speaker 3: so he has to understanding of that level. It's it's
1:55:00
Speaker 3: what you're spying and saying, here's the here's the information.
1:55:04
Speaker 3: Here's how you can present it to your audience at
1:55:07
Speaker 3: a conceptual level so the average person can understand it.
1:55:11
Speaker 3: And if you want, I can create a sly for you,
1:55:13
Speaker 3: you know, to incert in your talk. That's what it
1:55:15
Speaker 3: starts doing, and so you know, they can be extremely
1:55:19
Speaker 3: helpful once they really fully understand what you're doing and
1:55:22
Speaker 3: what your goal is, and how you're looking at the project.
1:55:24
Speaker 4: You know, it's amazing.
1:55:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that, and I can see it. For example,
1:55:28
Speaker 1: again going back to my you know, my days' is
1:55:30
Speaker 1: a litigation attorney. Sometimes you have extraordinarily complex case. You know,
1:55:37
Speaker 1: the facts and circumstances and law and elements of it
1:55:40
Speaker 1: that you really get used to and you're accustomed to
1:55:42
Speaker 1: talking amongst yourselves with your other lawyers. Everybody gets what
1:55:45
Speaker 1: you're talking about, you know, but you've got to be
1:55:47
Speaker 1: able to explain it to a jury who has no
1:55:50
Speaker 1: idea where you're coming from. You got to boil it
1:55:54
Speaker 1: down and easily understandable a story to tell which connects
1:55:57
Speaker 1: all the dots so it makes people. That's it sounds
1:55:59
Speaker 1: me like what you're accomplishing here.
1:56:02
Speaker 4: That's right.
1:56:02
Speaker 3: So after the vetting process, once you decide okay, I
1:56:05
Speaker 3: need these are the five things I need to learn
1:56:07
Speaker 3: to understand this, then the next step in my learning
1:56:09
Speaker 3: process is actually understanding it. You know, you won't fully
1:56:12
Speaker 3: understanding once you vet it. You still have to go
1:56:14
Speaker 3: deep into it and understand it. That's when these chatbots
1:56:18
Speaker 3: can be incredible because you can just keep going back
1:56:21
Speaker 3: and forth and just keep asking it questions about every
1:56:26
Speaker 3: minute thing that you don't understand, and it'll it'll explain
1:56:29
Speaker 3: it to you at the level you want to understand
1:56:31
Speaker 3: it or you need to understand it. It'll clarify the
1:56:35
Speaker 3: micro elements that you're not getting. It'll give you metaphors
1:56:39
Speaker 3: that help you under I want to give you an example.
1:56:41
Speaker 3: So these large language models, it's really complex stuff. So
1:56:45
Speaker 3: I learned a lot more than the average person, but
1:56:47
Speaker 3: I'm by no means close to you know, being a
1:56:50
Speaker 3: quote tech expert on this, right, But I was struggling
1:56:54
Speaker 3: with this for hours, okay, to understand it large language models.
1:56:58
Speaker 3: And at some point the chat gave me an analogy
1:57:01
Speaker 3: that just crystallized the whole thing for me. Right, And
1:57:04
Speaker 3: it was trying to explain, well, it's a large language module.
1:57:07
Speaker 10: Isn't thinking.
1:57:08
Speaker 3: It's actually just it's it's using probability to give you
1:57:11
Speaker 3: the next likely word in its response, So it's it's
1:57:15
Speaker 3: a probability machine, right, And it gave me this metaphor.
1:57:18
Speaker 3: It was it said, it's like autocomplete on steroids. It
1:57:24
Speaker 3: just right, So that's literally what it's doing. It's like
1:57:26
Speaker 3: on your phone right, when you're typing a message to someone,
1:57:30
Speaker 3: a text message, it gives you like you're starting to
1:57:33
Speaker 3: type the next word, and it gives you three options
1:57:35
Speaker 3: to pick one. It's calculating the most likely next word
1:57:38
Speaker 3: you're going to use given the context of what you're typing. Right, Well,
1:57:43
Speaker 3: that's what a chatbot is literally doing it, but it's
1:57:45
Speaker 3: infinitely more complex. The calculation is infinitely more complex. But
1:57:49
Speaker 3: it's really just a machine. It's it doesn't you know,
1:57:53
Speaker 3: it's not thinking, it's not it's not a person. You know,
1:57:57
Speaker 3: it's easy to anthropomorphize these things, right, I really feel
1:58:00
Speaker 3: like it knows you, but that Chris lives for me, Like, Okay,
1:58:03
Speaker 3: it's really just a machine. It's a probability generating machine, really,
1:58:09
Speaker 3: and that's.
1:58:09
Speaker 1: That's where the human element is always going to be
1:58:12
Speaker 1: critical and going through this exact process that you're going
1:58:15
Speaker 1: to be talking about tomorrow night at seven pm. So yes,

Speaker 1: life right now. Scott, I'm happy to say I love
1:59:31
Speaker 1: to hear it. This is obviously a really exciting time.
1:59:34
Speaker 1: Politics is always exciting for people like you and me,
1:59:36
Speaker 1: Weed dwellers following politics, which is what you do. Of course,
1:59:40
Speaker 1: with the big race coming up the first week in November,
1:59:43
Speaker 1: voters going to get an opportunity to maybe change the
1:59:45
Speaker 1: direction of downtown Cincinnati. Maybe not the election, most notably,
1:59:50
Speaker 1: let's pivot over and look at the mayoral race. I
1:59:52
Speaker 1: have to have provol versus Corey Bowman. And what real quick?
1:59:56
Speaker 1: I got to get this out of the way, Scott Wortman.
1:59:58
Speaker 1: What does everybody always have to say jd Vance's half
2:00:01
Speaker 1: brother or jd Vance's brother when referring to Corey Bowman.
2:00:05
Speaker 1: It's almost like a default insert in every article that
2:00:07
Speaker 1: I read.
2:00:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean that is everything seems the politically
2:00:13
Speaker 8: at least, and actually a lot of news stories go
2:00:16
Speaker 8: back to the White House, and I mean it is
2:00:19
Speaker 8: something that when people look for news and could we
2:00:23
Speaker 8: see what people read President Trump and the vice president
2:00:31
Speaker 8: drives a lot of interest. So I mean that's what
2:00:33
Speaker 8: people are interested in.
2:00:35
Speaker 1: But he's Corey Bowman I've interviewed him here in the
2:00:38
Speaker 1: Morning Show many times, I've met him in person many
2:00:41
Speaker 1: times have been in events where he spoke, and I mean,
2:00:43
Speaker 1: he doesn't bring up his brother, he doesn't bring up President.
2:00:45
Speaker 1: He certainly is not campaign as a MAGA person. But
2:00:48
Speaker 1: then again, he got a tab purval with all these
2:00:50
Speaker 1: campaign adds with Donald Trump and jd Vance's picture on
2:00:53
Speaker 1: it telling the residents of the city to save us
2:00:55
Speaker 1: from MAGA, as if they're going to come in and
2:00:57
Speaker 1: run things in the city.
2:01:00
Speaker 8: Sure, I mean it's still I mean, I don't know
2:01:02
Speaker 8: any way that that's going to not be a big
2:01:04
Speaker 8: part of the race, since again, the White House drives
2:01:09
Speaker 8: so many strong emotions and has been very divisive. So
2:01:13
Speaker 8: I mean, I don't see I don't see that changing anytime.
2:01:15
Speaker 1: So I don't either. But then again, if I had
2:01:18
Speaker 1: a record I was running on, I might want to
2:01:20
Speaker 1: prop up my record and talk about all the things
2:01:22
Speaker 1: that I've accomplished and why I am a better choice
2:01:24
Speaker 1: than the unknown, politically experienced Corey Bowlman. I haven't heard
2:01:28
Speaker 1: have to have Purvoll do that, And of late, the
2:01:30
Speaker 1: dominant Corey.
2:01:31
Speaker 8: Has made that argument. Yeah in debates too, as well.
2:01:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, I mean that's that's really my only
2:01:36
Speaker 1: point to bring it up. I trust me. I'm painfully
2:01:37
Speaker 1: aware of how that gets clicks. Maga Trump. That always
2:01:41
Speaker 1: gets clicks, and of course that can drive clicks on articles.
2:01:44
Speaker 1: But after Purple has been running around, at least up
2:01:48
Speaker 1: until recent moments in time, saying that there is no
2:01:51
Speaker 1: crime problem in the city. Crime is down, it's a
2:01:53
Speaker 1: problem of perception. And yet just yesterday he talked about
2:01:56
Speaker 1: this ongoing gun violence in the wake of what five
2:01:59
Speaker 1: shootings in the last couple days, calling it absolutely intolerable
2:02:02
Speaker 1: and announcing new measures. He's put in the critical Disturbance
2:02:06
Speaker 1: Response Team and SWAT team down at Fountain Square between
2:02:09
Speaker 1: two and ten pm every day. That's something brand new.
2:02:11
Speaker 1: He's encouraging council members to create an earlier curfew for
2:02:14
Speaker 1: Fountain Square, maybe starting at six pm. That just happened.
2:02:18
Speaker 1: A lot of people were clamoring for action earlier. We
2:02:20
Speaker 1: know we're down on police resources. They've been talking about
2:02:23
Speaker 1: lateral hires and new classes for a long time. That's
2:02:25
Speaker 1: a slow, slow process. So I guess because of the election,
2:02:30
Speaker 1: is he now appreciating the problem that the residents of
2:02:33
Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati perceive.
2:02:36
Speaker 8: I mean, I can't speak like why, you know, whether
2:02:39
Speaker 8: it's different in his mind than before the election, but
2:02:43
Speaker 8: I mean it is definitely the dominant issue that's not
2:02:47
Speaker 8: going to go away, even probably after November, the November election.
2:02:54
Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean it's something that every day, even
2:02:59
Speaker 8: with the statistics would show city wide, you know, it's
2:03:02
Speaker 8: not gone up, but in downtown and some of the
2:03:05
Speaker 8: urban areas there there is an uptick in crime and
2:03:10
Speaker 8: then shootings downtown. I believe it's like eight more shootings
2:03:14
Speaker 8: year the date than last year. But yeah, I don't
2:03:20
Speaker 8: It's definitely something.
2:03:21
Speaker 7: That he can't ignore right well, and when you have high.
2:03:25
Speaker 8: Profile one, I'm sorry, So when you have high profile
2:03:28
Speaker 8: ones like in shooting right in Fountain Square at the
2:03:32
Speaker 8: heart of the city, I mean there's no way to
2:03:34
Speaker 8: I mean that's a lot of people witnessed it, you know,
2:03:37
Speaker 8: first hand.
2:03:38
Speaker 1: Well, and then you have this recent development I was
2:03:40
Speaker 1: just talking about before we we we took the break
2:03:43
Speaker 1: to bring you on Ruby's closing down its events center
2:03:47
Speaker 1: and they cited a problem with their lease and the landlord.
2:03:49
Speaker 1: But they did say it was basically safety related, like
2:03:53
Speaker 1: maybe providing something like security at the front door, which
2:03:56
Speaker 1: doesn't have any security. So even though it's the least
2:03:58
Speaker 1: dispute over security, this boils down to security in downtown Cincinnati.
2:04:03
Speaker 1: So there's one entity that's now gone, and it's not
2:04:06
Speaker 1: the first business to close shopp in downtown because of this. People,
2:04:10
Speaker 1: I mean, people vote with their feet quite often.
2:04:14
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I haven't spoken with Jeff Ruby directly about this,
2:04:18
Speaker 8: but from what I saw in the statement though, I
2:04:21
Speaker 8: think they did make it clear that it was a
2:04:23
Speaker 8: landlord tenant dispute. So, I mean, I don't know have
2:04:26
Speaker 8: any inside information on it beyond that, but it did
2:04:29
Speaker 8: seem like they wanted to make it clear that it
2:04:31
Speaker 8: wasn't the other issues that were involved in it, So
2:04:35
Speaker 8: beyond that, I don't know what's driving that decision. But
2:04:38
Speaker 8: I haven't seen him. I haven't seen him blame crime
2:04:41
Speaker 8: specifically on that.
2:04:42
Speaker 1: Well. Brittany Ruby Miller, who's the CEO the and released
2:04:45
Speaker 1: the statement with regard to that, did talk about the
2:04:48
Speaker 1: safety at the front door, but I'll grant you it
2:04:51
Speaker 1: was a released dispute. But in a follow up statement,
2:04:53
Speaker 1: she concluded with a comment. While first saying she doesn't
2:04:56
Speaker 1: want to get into politics. She concluded with change only
2:05:00
Speaker 1: happens when the pain of staying the same exceeds the
2:05:02
Speaker 1: pain of change. So to me, that's a suggestion maybe
2:05:06
Speaker 1: a change of administration is necessary to deal with the
2:05:08
Speaker 1: crime problem.
2:05:13
Speaker 8: I haven't seen that statement, but I mean, yet, it
2:05:16
Speaker 8: does seem like that it could be where she's gone
2:05:18
Speaker 8: with that.
2:05:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. Do you do any internal polling or polling
2:05:21
Speaker 1: with regard to how things are shaking out? I know
2:05:23
Speaker 1: it as small as the council race and the mayor
2:05:27
Speaker 1: races relative to national elections and statewide elections, we don't
2:05:29
Speaker 1: get nearly as much polling. But have you seen that
2:05:32
Speaker 1: polling information at all related to this race.
2:05:35
Speaker 8: No, And we actually looked into that and we put
2:05:39
Speaker 8: some bids out for some firms that do polling, and
2:05:43
Speaker 8: we didn't get any bites on it. And I talked
2:05:46
Speaker 8: with the candidates and no, there has not been any
2:05:48
Speaker 8: polling on this race. So it's basically just anecdotal. And
2:05:53
Speaker 8: I mean, you have the primary to go on, but
2:05:56
Speaker 8: that's about it. So it's pretty much anyone's guess.
2:05:59
Speaker 1: Well, in addition to crime, obviously that's on the number
2:06:02
Speaker 1: one conversation talking point with regard to what's going on downtown.
2:06:05
Speaker 1: We have the I guess four hundred miles of roads
2:06:10
Speaker 1: that need to be repaid. That's been a problem that's
2:06:11
Speaker 1: been building for years and years. But when you're out
2:06:15
Speaker 1: and about and you're talking about this race, do you
2:06:17
Speaker 1: hear the idea of zoning come up? I know, we
2:06:20
Speaker 1: had this massive problem with Hyde Park and they revolted
2:06:22
Speaker 1: and wanted it to be put on the ballot. They
2:06:25
Speaker 1: were successful in getting the development there, put the brakes
2:06:28
Speaker 1: put on it. But what of all the other communities,
2:06:30
Speaker 1: Bondhill and everybody else who's now underneath this umbrella called
2:06:34
Speaker 1: Connected Communities, which is a one size fits all approach
2:06:36
Speaker 1: for all of downtown Cincinnati.
2:06:40
Speaker 8: I hear the zoning issue, like when it comes up
2:06:43
Speaker 8: in regards to like the community councils, do they have
2:06:47
Speaker 8: enough input or are they being ignored? And that's usually
2:06:49
Speaker 8: from people that are like plugged in and engage, But
2:06:53
Speaker 8: I don't know how much of that is for like
2:06:55
Speaker 8: the general populace. I mean, one of the big issues
2:06:59
Speaker 8: when I first over this beat in the spring, what
2:07:04
Speaker 8: was speed bumps and potholes And it's kind of like
2:07:07
Speaker 8: the basic services, So I mean I do think zoning
2:07:11
Speaker 8: is an issue, but I don't know if it's going
2:07:16
Speaker 8: to move the needle one way or the other in
2:07:18
Speaker 8: the election.
2:07:19
Speaker 1: Well Man, moving the needle one way or there? You
2:07:20
Speaker 1: talk about plugged in and engageing. We got a chuckle
2:07:23
Speaker 1: out of me on that one. The voter turnout in
2:07:25
Speaker 1: downtown today is pretty poor. I think what ten percent
2:07:28
Speaker 1: and maybe fifteen percent. Do you see this election as
2:07:33
Speaker 1: resulting in a higher voter turnout? I mean, if you
2:07:35
Speaker 1: had to read tea leaves into as we fast approach November,
2:07:38
Speaker 1: Scott Ortman, do you think more people are going to
2:07:40
Speaker 1: actually show up in this one?
2:07:43
Speaker 8: I mean, this is my first one full time on
2:07:45
Speaker 8: the city election, but my experience with elections in general,
2:07:49
Speaker 8: and this could be different because I mean, I think
2:07:51
Speaker 8: I do think more people in the last I would
2:07:54
Speaker 8: say ten years are coming out to vote and paying
2:07:57
Speaker 8: attention to politics. But these off year elections where there
2:08:02
Speaker 8: isn't like a major but there isn't a congressional race,
2:08:05
Speaker 8: or there isn't a presidential race, probably not. It's still
2:08:09
Speaker 8: probably going to be a lower turnout. I haven't I
2:08:12
Speaker 8: haven't yet spoken to the Board of Elections on their predictions.
2:08:15
Speaker 8: I don't even know if they have a projection yet
2:08:18
Speaker 8: on it, but probably it will be better than the primary,
2:08:22
Speaker 8: but it's probably still not it's probably going to I mean,
2:08:26
Speaker 8: I don't I hesitate to give a actual prediction, but
2:08:30
Speaker 8: it's not going to be like in a presidential race
2:08:32
Speaker 8: or even in a congressional race.
2:08:35
Speaker 12: I wouldn't think.
2:08:36
Speaker 1: So don't expect a fifty percent turnout in downtown since
2:08:38
Speaker 1: for this one, Scott, I suppose we.
2:08:40
Speaker 10: Can, I would think not.
2:08:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, but it illustrates the point. You know,
2:08:44
Speaker 1: in and off your election, your vote matters so much
2:08:47
Speaker 1: more than it would in any other election cycle. I mean,
2:08:50
Speaker 1: it's it seems to me it should serve as a
2:08:51
Speaker 1: great incentive for the city residents to show up and vote.
2:08:55
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I mean that's what democracy is all about.
2:08:58
Speaker 8: And as they you know, the cliche goes, but it's
2:09:01
Speaker 8: the cliche for a reason. If you don't vote, you
2:09:03
Speaker 8: can't complain, Scott Warmanonton.
2:09:05
Speaker 7: You shouldn't, at.
2:09:06
Speaker 1: Least well, you shouldn't, clearly, Scott Wormanton saying, inquire since
2:09:09
Speaker 1: anty dot commis orre you find, Scott, any other observations
2:09:12
Speaker 1: you want to pass along to my listeners that you've
2:09:14
Speaker 1: encountered as you've been following this race, Scott Well, I.
2:09:17
Speaker 8: Mean, I think the big question this race is whether
2:09:21
Speaker 8: a non Democrat can get on city council. I mean
2:09:24
Speaker 8: that's going to be because I think it is possible,
2:09:28
Speaker 8: but it's it's very tough because it's one of those things.
2:09:31
Speaker 8: And this is also what's so hard to predict elections.
2:09:34
Speaker 8: What you hear and see online. Again, those are for
2:09:37
Speaker 8: people that are plugged in, but isn't necessarily how the
2:09:41
Speaker 8: general population votes. And so at least in the last
2:09:48
Speaker 8: like four or five city elections, the Democratic slate card
2:09:51
Speaker 8: has been incredibly influential on the overall voting public.
2:09:57
Speaker 7: In the city.
2:09:58
Speaker 8: So whether that whole true or not, because I think
2:10:02
Speaker 8: a few people might be able to break through, but
2:10:05
Speaker 8: whether they will or not, that is I'll be very
2:10:09
Speaker 8: interested to see.
2:10:10
Speaker 1: Well as an you know, encouragement for my listeners. Everybody
2:10:13
Speaker 1: else is considering voting. If you perceive crime as being
2:10:16
Speaker 1: a problem, there are judicial races that people need to
2:10:18
Speaker 1: pay close attention to. And you talk about having to
2:10:21
Speaker 1: be a weed dweller if you don't have any interaction
2:10:23
Speaker 1: with the judicial system. You're only tangentially even thinking about it.
2:10:26
Speaker 1: People tend to gloss over the judicial races, but they
2:10:29
Speaker 1: are critical.
2:10:31
Speaker 8: Oh yeah. And the issue with why they often look
2:10:35
Speaker 8: get a lot of attention is because of ethics rules.
2:10:37
Speaker 8: They judicial candidates are limited in what they can say
2:10:41
Speaker 8: and you know what they can say in interviews and
2:10:43
Speaker 8: stump speeches, so they often do get overlooked. But yeah,
2:10:46
Speaker 8: they have a tremendous impact on the laws and what
2:10:49
Speaker 8: people see out there.
2:10:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, no advisory opinions from judges. That's a violation of
2:10:53
Speaker 1: the rules of ethics. Scott Ortman from the Cincinna in choir,
2:10:56
Speaker 1: my listeners and I be following you on Cinsinni dot
2:10:58
Speaker 1: com and reading what you have to write about it,
2:11:00
Speaker 1: and we'll all keep our popcorn out as we fast
2:11:02
Speaker 1: approach November.
2:11:04
Speaker 8: Thank you, Brian, I appreciate it.
2:11:05
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure, Scott. Take care and have a great day.
2:11:08
Speaker 1: Eight forty one. Right now, fifty five K city talk
2:11:09
Speaker 1: station phone lines are open. Feel free to call.
2:11:12
Speaker 9: So.
2:11:13
Speaker 1: Uh, it's called an Epley maneuver. You can do it
2:11:16
Speaker 1: at home. I did it at home yesterday.
2:11:18
Speaker 7: Problem solved.
2:11:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, it takes five minutes, ten minutes tops. So God
2:11:23
Speaker 1: bless my listening audience, and thank you for allowing me
2:11:26
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do a little complaining yesterday. It definitely
2:11:29
Speaker 1: yielded a wonderful diagnosis and result. Not happy that I
2:11:32
Speaker 1: had to go through it, but I'm a smarter, better
2:11:35
Speaker 1: man now, and I typically can say that every morning
2:11:37
Speaker 1: after the morning show because I always end up learning something,
2:11:39
Speaker 1: and I sure hope you do too. Stick around. We
2:11:41
Speaker 1: got an opportunity to talk coming up. One more segment
2:11:43
Speaker 1: left in the morning show, So bring up the phones.
2:11:45
Speaker 1: Five point three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight
2:11:47
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty
2:11:49
Speaker 1: on AT and T phones. Be right back fifty five
2:11:52
Speaker 1: far the talk station station I heard be the Aviation
2:11:56
Speaker 1: ext Fort Jay Rattlift tomorrow every Thursday at eight thirty,

Speaker 1: assuming he's not a vacation or out of town or something.
2:12:02
Speaker 1: And it's go to the phones. Five one three seven
2:12:04
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eight two
2:12:06
Speaker 1: three talk. A man whose name came up earned the
2:12:07
Speaker 1: program when I was talking about American military bases turning
2:12:11
Speaker 1: to these micro nuclear reactors to power their own facilities.
2:12:15
Speaker 1: The reactors can be loaded on a shipping container that
2:12:18
Speaker 1: could be easily moved. They're small, and they produce twenty
2:12:20
Speaker 1: gigawatts of power or something like that, which can power
2:12:22
Speaker 1: an entire town. The answer to all of our energy
2:12:26
Speaker 1: production needs. When can we the American people get those cribbage? Mike,
2:12:30
Speaker 1: my submarine or friend. I thought about you and mentioned
2:12:32
Speaker 1: your name this morning because you always point out American
2:12:34
Speaker 1: military has been having the ships and submarines powered by
2:12:38
Speaker 1: nuclear power since the late fifties, and how many incidents
2:12:41
Speaker 1: and disasters have we had. Mike, welcome back.
2:12:44
Speaker 5: That will be a big fat zero zilch nod on,
2:12:46
Speaker 5: mister Thomas.
2:12:47
Speaker 1: That's what I thought you'd say.
2:12:50
Speaker 5: Every submarine since nineteen fifty four and every aircraft carrier
2:12:54
Speaker 5: since nineteen fifty.
2:12:55
Speaker 1: Nine seems to work pretty well, beauty for.
2:12:58
Speaker 5: About twenty years now. They put one core in those submarines.
2:13:02
Speaker 5: They don't even need refuel them. They're good for thirty
2:13:04
Speaker 5: five years.
2:13:05
Speaker 1: Amazing, and yet you and I can't have that technology.
2:13:08
Speaker 5: Mike in crazy well thanks to mi Armi brethren, and
2:13:12
Speaker 5: hopefully I don't see how we get around it with
2:13:15
Speaker 5: these AI data banks that are that are required foreign
2:13:19
Speaker 5: countries are using them, so I think it's just a
2:13:21
Speaker 5: matter of time. Well income, the left has no argument
2:13:24
Speaker 5: as far as if they want to talk about carbon
2:13:26
Speaker 5: neutral exactly.
2:13:27
Speaker 1: And they're wealthy companies who have the capital to purchase
2:13:30
Speaker 1: on their own their own nuclear reactor. They don't need
2:13:33
Speaker 1: government as systems or involvement other than to reduce the
2:13:35
Speaker 1: regulatory struggles and hurdles that they face moving in that direction.
2:13:39
Speaker 1: I see a bright future in our world because of
2:13:42
Speaker 1: the AI centers, and as well because of this step,
2:13:44
Speaker 1: the American military has taken under this project to power
2:13:47
Speaker 1: independently their own facilities by calendar year twenty twenty eight.
2:13:51
Speaker 1: If they can do it, if AI can do it,
2:13:53
Speaker 1: we can all do it. States can rapidly move in
2:13:55
Speaker 1: this direction. Zero carbon emission, but unlimited power that doesn't
2:13:58
Speaker 1: require the sun or the wind.
2:14:01
Speaker 5: Well, God bless those enlisted nuclear operators and the officers
2:14:04
Speaker 5: of the engineers, because parents, if you're looking for a
2:14:08
Speaker 5: place for your son and daughter that can go aboard
2:14:11
Speaker 5: a submarine or an aircraft carrier and operate that, you're
2:14:13
Speaker 5: talking six figures with obviously zero college debt. And then
2:14:17
Speaker 5: if you can imagine that these small nuclear reactors get
2:14:19
Speaker 5: out there to support these AI databases, the dangling carrot
2:14:22
Speaker 5: that'll be out there from the civilian community.
2:14:24
Speaker 1: Oh and AI cannot do the work of someone that
2:14:28
Speaker 1: is required to build and operate the nuclear reactors, Mike,
2:14:31
Speaker 1: so a good career operatority in that field alone. Yes, sir,
2:14:35
Speaker 1: all right, you didn't call to talk about that though,
2:14:39
Speaker 1: you know, you know, well.
2:14:41
Speaker 5: I'll talk all day long at that because it just
2:14:43
Speaker 5: makes too much sense. But another thing that makes too
2:14:45
Speaker 5: much sense is that they're talking about our downtown. As
2:14:48
Speaker 5: you all know, I've worked there for the last twelve
2:14:50
Speaker 5: and a half years at the casino and that, you
2:14:53
Speaker 5: know what that I think it may be the Canary
2:14:56
Speaker 5: and the coal Mine with them shutting down that event center,
2:14:58
Speaker 5: because that was a a beautiful place. I was in
2:15:01
Speaker 5: it once and now that they've moved over there. You know,
2:15:04
Speaker 5: think about it. If you live out in the suburbs
2:15:06
Speaker 5: and you want to have a nice steak dinner and
2:15:08
Speaker 5: you're a Ruby fan, or you're going to go to
2:15:09
Speaker 5: Carlos and Johnny's, you're going to go downtown. You know,
2:15:12
Speaker 5: if you don't feel safe going there, I think I
2:15:15
Speaker 5: would love to see that. What the attendance is for
2:15:17
Speaker 5: the taff and the air and off and probably the
2:15:19
Speaker 5: last year's I've seen it in my casino over the
2:15:21
Speaker 5: last twelve and a half years, you know, and we've
2:15:23
Speaker 5: invested tremendous technology and resources, but at the general public
2:15:27
Speaker 5: don't feel safe going down, mainly at night. Because my
2:15:30
Speaker 5: wife and I were down at Riverfest and that was
2:15:32
Speaker 5: a beautiful, you know, turn out of people and stuff
2:15:35
Speaker 5: like that, but it's so different. I think a big
2:15:38
Speaker 5: test will be tomorrow night for this Steelers Bengals game,
2:15:41
Speaker 5: because they're going to have the TVs on the square.
2:15:43
Speaker 5: You're talking like sixty thousand people. But that's not the issue.
2:15:46
Speaker 5: It's after the people that want to go out and
2:15:48
Speaker 5: have a little bit of adult beverage maybe after the
2:15:50
Speaker 5: game or just enjoy the night. Are they going to
2:15:53
Speaker 5: do that or are they in their cars and they're
2:15:54
Speaker 5: out of there. We the people will wake up and
2:15:57
Speaker 5: it isn't a matter of putting SWAT on Found Square.
2:16:01
Speaker 1: Just gonna mention that because you better be out by
2:16:04
Speaker 1: ten pm, because that's when SWATT and the Civil Disturbance
2:16:07
Speaker 1: Response team packs it up and goes home. Two to
2:16:10
Speaker 1: ten pm.
2:16:10
Speaker 5: Oh, we know there's no COVID after ten pm, so
2:16:12
Speaker 5: maybe there's no crime.
2:16:14
Speaker 1: That's right. I forgot ten pm is a magic number,
2:16:16
Speaker 1: isn't it, Mike?
2:16:19
Speaker 12: Yeah?
2:16:19
Speaker 1: And you know, on to that. Further to that point,
2:16:21
Speaker 1: my wife has expressed a profound reluctance. I want to
2:16:25
Speaker 1: go back downtown. We saw a lot of concerts at
2:16:27
Speaker 1: the Brady Center, never had any problem. But considering where
2:16:30
Speaker 1: all of this violence seems to unfold, and that's down
2:16:32
Speaker 1: to the Banks general area, don't have a real desire
2:16:35
Speaker 1: to hit the Brady Center anytime soon. If you know
2:16:38
Speaker 1: what I mean, Mike exactly, I'll see it. Listen to
2:16:40
Speaker 1: lunch next month, right, yes, sir, all right, be prepared
2:16:43
Speaker 1: for another brutal beating and game of cribbage. Let's see
2:16:46
Speaker 1: what Charlie's got. Charlie, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome

2:17:23
Speaker 1: it should be a good opportunity for Q and A
2:17:24
Speaker 1: on that one too. And I think it's going to
2:17:25
Speaker 1: be a fascinating, fascinating conversation and topic.
2:17:30

2:17:32

Speaker 1: is the one that put that article out. But the
2:17:49
Speaker 1: article itself contained a photograph of the campaign literature that's
2:17:53
Speaker 1: circulating showing Donald Trump and JD Vance's heads with it
