55KRC Monday Show - Smitherman, Ax the Tax · Brian Thomas

0:03
Speaker 1: Some sense.
0:12
Speaker 2: A vacation.
0:15
Speaker 3: I'm the dude, Mary, you may be. I am Brian Thomas,
0:17
Speaker 3: host to fifty five care See Morning Show. Wishing everyone
0:20
Speaker 3: a very happy Monday, and I hope you had a
0:22
Speaker 3: wonderful weekend. Joe Trucker executive producers where he belongs. And
0:25
Speaker 3: we've got some guests lined up now. The original guest,
0:27
Speaker 3: we thought, Signal ninety nine having a bit of an
0:30
Speaker 3: issue regarding health and prayers to Signal ninety nine and family,
0:35
Speaker 3: so we won't get a report from her this morning. However,
0:38
Speaker 3: look forward to eight oh five Sarah Wolf. She's behind
0:41
Speaker 3: the acts the tax, the effort to kill property tax
0:44
Speaker 3: in the state of Ohio, and looking forward to having
0:46
Speaker 3: her on the program. I'm intrigued by the idea of
0:50
Speaker 3: the concept. It's a very appealing one, most notably since
0:53
Speaker 3: I was, you know, the since I public schools in
0:55
Speaker 3: Hamilton County. Both seeking a tax increase on your property
0:58
Speaker 3: taxes couldn't come at a worse time. I mean, everybody's
1:03
Speaker 3: still reeling is a consequence of the increase in property tax.
1:06
Speaker 3: It's just outrageous. Question. Is there a solution? And by
1:09
Speaker 3: eliminating it, the ballot petition I imagine is still going
1:12
Speaker 3: on around there, although we probably won't see it in November,
1:14
Speaker 3: maybe on the ballot next year, but constitutionally eliminate property
1:18
Speaker 3: tax in the state of Ohio and then kick back
1:21
Speaker 3: and watch our elected officials and columbus scramble to well
1:28
Speaker 3: untangle the mess that that would bring about. I suppose
1:32
Speaker 3: it's only a mess because it's been relying on property
1:34
Speaker 3: taxes so long to fund almost everything, and I guess
1:36
Speaker 3: we've reached the limit. No Moss. And when you put
1:39
Speaker 3: yourself in the position of a senior on a fixed income,
1:42
Speaker 3: maybe only getting Social Security payments once a month, and
1:45
Speaker 3: they are faced with an ever expanding, almost well sending,
1:48
Speaker 3: perhaps insurmountable tax bill, We're gonna have to sell her house.
1:53
Speaker 3: I'll bring it up with her, and I bring up
1:55
Speaker 3: the very compelling and appealing argument about capital gains tax.
1:58
Speaker 3: You don't get charge urge for the increased value of
2:01
Speaker 3: your stock purchases until you sell them. Why might that
2:05
Speaker 3: be because no one knows what it's going to be
2:08
Speaker 3: worth that stock share until you actually sell it. The
2:11
Speaker 3: price goes up, the price goes down. We had market crashes.
2:14
Speaker 3: Oh look the stock I had that was trading at
2:16
Speaker 3: one hundred bucks is now fifty right. Same thing goes
2:19
Speaker 3: with property values, paying an assess to eight in a
2:25
Speaker 3: well in a COVID induced property crunch, might that disappear
2:32
Speaker 3: at some point market forces stabilized, maybe more houses come
2:36
Speaker 3: on the market. Economic forces changed from time to time.
2:38
Speaker 3: That's why we had the concept of capital gains and
2:41
Speaker 3: not taxing them until you realize the gain. So again,
2:46
Speaker 3: that's a very compelling argument for the at least on
2:49
Speaker 3: behalf of the seniors. But I think everyone is since
2:51
Speaker 3: they're facing a massive increase in property taxes and who
2:54
Speaker 3: saw it coming they but expect a one third increase
2:56
Speaker 3: in your bill when that happened. Anyway, Sarah Wolf can
3:00
Speaker 3: address that at eight oh five, preceded by of course
3:03
Speaker 3: it's Monday, so we get Christopher Smithman, uh, former vice
3:06
Speaker 3: mayor of the City of Sincen and the Smither event.
3:08
Speaker 3: Looking forward to that, as I always am, I didn't
3:11
Speaker 3: do the over and under. Bobby always does an over
3:13
Speaker 3: and under on violent crime in the City of Cincinnati. Uh,
3:16
Speaker 3: seven point five, and he went over on that one.
3:18
Speaker 3: Not quite sure we got it. I hope it's under anyway, Uh,
3:22
Speaker 3: Christopher Smithman, maybe on crime in the city of Cincinnati,
3:25
Speaker 3: and not sure, never know what he wants to talk about,
3:27
Speaker 3: but I always enjoy his thoughts and comments. So seven
3:29
Speaker 3: twenty for that anytime for you if you want to
3:31
Speaker 3: call five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred,
3:34
Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty two to three talk and go with
3:37
Speaker 3: pound five fifty on AT and T phones. Now, look,
3:39
Speaker 3: I mean, Trump's got a bit of a dilemma on
3:41
Speaker 3: his hands. People are blaming you. Of course, we have
3:44
Speaker 3: inflation going on, and we have a lot of people
3:46
Speaker 3: directly attributing the increased price of gasoline, and perhaps some
3:51
Speaker 3: of the inflation is a consequence of the war with
3:54
Speaker 3: irod Uh And Trump seems to me to be backing
3:58
Speaker 3: off his ultimate ultimatum, which is the nuclear materials. And
4:03
Speaker 3: Iran's obviously demonstrated, has a bit of an edge here
4:07
Speaker 3: since it can close the straight of horror moves and
4:08
Speaker 3: it effectively has which impacts the entire globe's economy, global economy.
4:13
Speaker 3: So what he said on Sunday yesterday, we are low
4:15
Speaker 3: keying it as opposed to launching the biggest strike since
4:19
Speaker 3: World War Two, which was his position just about a
4:21
Speaker 3: week and a half ago. He's now just maybe kicking
4:24
Speaker 3: back because more and more information is coming about the
4:27
Speaker 3: Iranian economy is collapsing, and I'm sure it is. We've
4:34
Speaker 3: got their ports closed, they can't get oiled in and out.
4:38
Speaker 3: A lot of sanctions have been loved on the Iranians,
4:40
Speaker 3: and the people are starting to deal with the runaway
4:44
Speaker 3: inflation that's going on there. Anyhow, yesterday he signaled that
4:49
Speaker 3: he was prepared to allow the economic pressure I just
4:51
Speaker 3: mentioned on Iran to mount as opposed to striking militarily.
4:55
Speaker 3: Of course, the economic pressures is it's a war effort,
5:00
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's like waging war over the internet.
5:04
Speaker 3: You know, there are you know, kinetic actions bombing US
5:08
Speaker 3: actions as strategy and war. And then there's also, of
5:12
Speaker 3: course the whole idea of economic actions, and we have
5:16
Speaker 3: been using those for quite some time of the Iranians
5:19
Speaker 3: to no ultimate effect. But if their economy completely collapses,
5:23
Speaker 3: and swirling rumors are out there about politicians and others
5:27
Speaker 3: demanding that we arm the Iranian citizenry, there's a real
5:30
Speaker 3: great idea. To remind you why important the Second Amendment is.
5:33
Speaker 3: You know, if the Iranian citizens were armed, then you
5:36
Speaker 3: might see a horse of a different color going on
5:38
Speaker 3: in connection with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard mowing its citizens down,
5:42
Speaker 3: citizens who cannot defend themselves. You get an armed citizenry,
5:47
Speaker 3: I would imagine they'd be less inclined to go after
5:50
Speaker 3: their own citizen recognizing they may be faced with gunfire.
5:54
Speaker 3: But that issue aside, that's not the case right now.
5:57
Speaker 3: So the collapse of the economy, it is one possible
6:03
Speaker 3: out for this action, I suppose for Donald Trump and
6:06
Speaker 3: the Republican Party. Is that gonna happen or we're gonna
6:09
Speaker 3: have some positive information out of Iran before November, which
6:13
Speaker 3: maybe why Donald Trump doesn't want to start dropping bombs
6:16
Speaker 3: right away and allow the economic harm and problems that
6:19
Speaker 3: are heaped down upon the Iranians to maybe have some effect.
6:25
Speaker 3: That's toughical, that's a tough decision right there. Anyway. He
6:31
Speaker 3: Trump said yesterday that Iran is in very bad shape
6:35
Speaker 3: economically and has no money to pay its troops. Of course,
6:38
Speaker 3: our US naval blockade has exacerbated the Iranian regime's economic crisis.
6:42
Speaker 3: He putted that out. He said that with oil down
6:46
Speaker 3: slightly over seventy five dollars a barrow. Wee the American
6:49
Speaker 3: people are starting to feel less pain from the war.
6:51
Speaker 3: That's the direct impact that you and I have feeling
6:53
Speaker 3: every single day. Price of gasoline and I saw it.
6:57
Speaker 3: There's some polling, and you know, polling, polling pulling, the
7:02
Speaker 3: Democrats are starting to appeal, at least in terms of
7:05
Speaker 3: polling to folks in terms of who's better capable of
7:09
Speaker 3: handling the economy. And as I stare at the proposals
7:15
Speaker 3: from the ever rising growing quantity of Democrats socialist candidates
7:20
Speaker 3: coming to the Democratic Party, and when you read what
7:22
Speaker 3: they have by way of campaign platform, it would be
7:25
Speaker 3: economically disastrous. So real time polling says Democrats are growing
7:33
Speaker 3: at least in terms of people's perception on who's better
7:35
Speaker 3: capable of handling the economy. You know, I struggle with
7:39
Speaker 3: the concept of that. Are we so shortsighted that we
7:41
Speaker 3: have forgotten that the Democrats are the ones responsible for
7:44
Speaker 3: wanting the price of gasoline to go up, for funneling
7:47
Speaker 3: billions of dollars into green energy projects, for refusing to
7:52
Speaker 3: allow us to drill. How we wouldn't have fracking if
7:55
Speaker 3: it was if you were lied on the Democrats, we
7:57
Speaker 3: would not be the globe's largest oil producer if it was.
8:00
Speaker 3: If you allowed the Democrats control who's responsible for the
8:04
Speaker 3: printing press, that would be a Republican and Democrat reality. Yeah,
8:09
Speaker 3: Donald Trump didn't prove himself to be a fiscal off
8:11
Speaker 3: in the Hawk in the first term, if certainly not
8:13
Speaker 3: in the second term. Democrats never care about the debt
8:16
Speaker 3: or deficits. They just want to spend more and more
8:17
Speaker 3: and regularly run the printing press. COVID obviously responsible for
8:21
Speaker 3: injecting trillions of additional or newly printed dollars into the
8:26
Speaker 3: economy that waters down the value of the American dollar.
8:29
Speaker 3: You know, we've lost thirty percent of the American dollars
8:32
Speaker 3: value since twenty nineteen. Thirty percent. I saw that the
8:37
Speaker 3: other day and I just couldn't believe it never to
8:40
Speaker 3: be regained. The printing press is primarily responsible for the
8:45
Speaker 3: loss of the dollars value. It's you know, there's economic principles,
8:49
Speaker 3: like the laws of supply in demand. If you reduce
8:51
Speaker 3: the supply, let's say, of oil, the price goes up,
8:54
Speaker 3: the demand doesn't change. That's natural economics. But then there
8:59
Speaker 3: is the Fis school policy of just printing dollars to
9:04
Speaker 3: fund programs that we don't have the real current taxpayer
9:08
Speaker 3: revenue to cover. Welcome to the thirty percent reduction of
9:12
Speaker 3: the value of the dollar. This is not an economic
9:14
Speaker 3: supply and demand concept. This is not the war has
9:17
Speaker 3: caused the price of things to go up. This is
9:19
Speaker 3: just our printing press has watered down the value of
9:22
Speaker 3: the American dollar. Welcome to Democrat policies more so than Republicans. Again,
9:27
Speaker 3: I'll acknowledge Republicans bear a large chunk of responsibility, but
9:31
Speaker 3: it's the Democrat plans that came across during COVID, with
9:34
Speaker 3: the PPP and all these other crazy programs that of
9:36
Speaker 3: course were victims of fraud wasted abuse, not really monitor
9:40
Speaker 3: or heavity oversight. But the ultimate dollar value, regardless of
9:44
Speaker 3: fraud wasted abuse that went along with those policies is
9:47
Speaker 3: to water down the America's currency. And you think that's
9:52
Speaker 3: going to be better, A better path, the Democrat path,
9:54
Speaker 3: the socialist path taxing people into oblivion, that's going to work.
10:01
Speaker 3: I'm just shocked that people don't have a better understanding
10:05
Speaker 3: of how the economy works. I shouldn't be shocked, but
10:10
Speaker 3: but isn't it something as we look at this crazy
10:15
Speaker 3: conflict we've got going over with the Iranians, they seem
10:18
Speaker 3: to be the Iranians do in a better position and
10:20
Speaker 3: moving aside from the economy, at least in terms of
10:22
Speaker 3: bargaining power, in a better position now than they were
10:26
Speaker 3: before the bombs started dropping. They found an achilles heel.
10:31
Speaker 3: It's called the strait of horror moves and their demands
10:35
Speaker 3: have increased. I mean, it is, It's insane. Iranians say
10:41
Speaker 3: they're ever going to open the straight of hormonies until
10:45
Speaker 3: the US. Must never ever threaten or insult Iran in
10:48
Speaker 3: any language. That's an odd one, isn't it. This is
10:51
Speaker 3: from the National Supreme National Security Council head Mohammed Baggert
10:58
Speaker 3: zold God now, and if you're keeping trying at home,
11:00
Speaker 3: I know I butchered the pronunciation of his last name. Anyway,
11:03
Speaker 3: Never threaten or insult Iran in any language, permanently in
11:07
Speaker 3: the war against Iran, Iran's allies in Lebanon, Gaza Game
11:10
Speaker 3: in Iraq, lift the naval blockade and withdraw military forces
11:14
Speaker 3: from the surroundings of Iran, full compensation for war damages,
11:20
Speaker 3: lifting of all sanctions, releasing of all Iranian frozen funds,
11:24
Speaker 3: something Trump said he'd never do, and until just recently
11:30
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago, the demands that I just outlined,
11:33
Speaker 3: and that's just a summary of them, were a prerequisite
11:37
Speaker 3: for a nuclear deal, something Donald Trump has insisted on.
11:43
Speaker 3: One of the main predicates of dropping bombs was this
11:46
Speaker 3: imminent threat that Iran faced with the world with a
11:49
Speaker 3: nuclear weapon. Now Donald Trump's maybe just saying, eh, you know, well,
11:53
Speaker 3: maybe we won't do a nuclear deal. Iran is presenting
11:56
Speaker 3: these demands. The growing of demands merely as a condition
12:03
Speaker 3: for reopening, for reopening the straight of horror moves, has
12:05
Speaker 3: nothing to do with the nuclear stockpiles or their nuclear program.
12:13
Speaker 3: So I'm not quite sure this can be considered progress.
12:18
Speaker 3: You may have a different take. If you do. I
12:19
Speaker 3: would love to hear from you. Maybe another topic you'd
12:22
Speaker 3: like to talk about. I'd love to hear from you
12:23
Speaker 3: on that as well. Gary's on the phone. Gary, I
12:25
Speaker 3: just looked up. You will be right out of the
12:26
Speaker 3: gate when we get back after these brief words. Hope
12:29
Speaker 3: you can stick around.
12:29
Speaker 4: Fifty five KRC all right, Heart Radio Music for.
12:33
Speaker 3: Nine fifty eight hundred eighty two to three Talk five
12:36
Speaker 3: fifty on at and T phones. Let's see what New
12:38
Speaker 3: Hampshire Gary's got this morning. Gary, welcome back to the
12:40
Speaker 3: Morning Show. Happy Monday to you, sir, Happy Monday to you.
12:45
Speaker 5: I've just give you a little taste of what it's
12:48
Speaker 5: like to live up here in New Hampshire. We go
12:51
Speaker 5: through Peterville Burle it's on the way to the mountains.
12:55
Speaker 5: Over a keen beautiful area up there, and it's probably
12:59
Speaker 5: one of the whitest population in all of New Hampshire.
13:04
Speaker 5: It's definitely some of the most wealthiest besides Ampers up
13:09
Speaker 5: in New Hampshire. Every time I go up there, they
13:13
Speaker 5: always have about fifty to seventy five people every Saturday
13:17
Speaker 5: and every Sunday wearing their masks, no kings, no you know,
13:23
Speaker 5: hands off my ovaries, socialism, it's the base. And they're
13:27
Speaker 5: always ages fifty to eighty years old. I think these
13:35
Speaker 5: group really they're you know, the people that lived in
13:38
Speaker 5: the sixties. They're still living in their dreams. Meanwhile, as
13:42
Speaker 5: being a soldier, I hear the straits of hormones and
13:47
Speaker 5: it just drives me out of my mind because people
13:50
Speaker 5: are still thinking linear And what I mean by that
13:54
Speaker 5: is I've seen lot outlays. They're building the pipeline and
13:59
Speaker 5: they're going to cut out the straight to poor moods.
14:01
Speaker 5: They're they're building their you know plans, are building a
14:04
Speaker 5: port all supposed to be opened up by twenty twenty eight.
14:08
Speaker 5: Nobody's really thinking because what they're going to what the
14:11
Speaker 5: Iranians are going to do is they're just simply going
14:14
Speaker 5: to take their Shai drones and fly them an extra
14:17
Speaker 5: one hundred miles and they're gonna they're going to start
14:20
Speaker 5: shooting the pipeline. Oh what are you going to do now?
14:24
Speaker 5: People aren't taking out of the box at all, or
14:27
Speaker 5: they'll just start shooting out of the state of poor
14:30
Speaker 5: moods until people capitulate and cave in that. There's only
14:34
Speaker 5: one solution to this, and you have to stop the Iranians.
14:38
Speaker 5: That is kill them. I understand we might have to
14:41
Speaker 5: wait it out, let their economy crash, but these people
14:45
Speaker 5: are fundamentalists. They believe in the twelfth of mom coming
14:49
Speaker 5: out of the well and death to anybody who opposes it,
14:53
Speaker 5: and that would be most mostly Israel. In the United States,
14:58
Speaker 5: you know, it's one thing to say, oh, we're heavy
15:00
Speaker 5: negotiations while their Congress is going back, going death to America,
15:05
Speaker 5: death to a death, death to Big Satan and Little Satan.
15:09
Speaker 5: These people are disingenuous. And I'm telling you if this
15:13
Speaker 5: would have happened back in World War Two, there would
15:15
Speaker 5: be no Japanese.
15:16
Speaker 3: People well, because we'd be more inclined to use a
15:22
Speaker 3: nuclear weapons what you're suggesting with that, right.
15:25
Speaker 5: I'm suggesting we would use whatever we had at hand
15:29
Speaker 5: to eliminate them, because I know Curtis will May was
15:32
Speaker 5: going had a plan to completely wipe out the Japanese people,
15:37
Speaker 5: and he was he was had a plan instead of
15:40
Speaker 5: dropping bombs, he was going to drop drop km quat,
15:44
Speaker 5: which is you know, like agent orange, and he was
15:47
Speaker 5: going to spray the entire population with it. And you
15:51
Speaker 5: know that have any food?
15:54
Speaker 3: Well, I mean those are those are dangerous options? Are
15:57
Speaker 3: those in in an everatare world? And we are not
16:01
Speaker 3: the same world we were as we were in World
16:03
Speaker 3: War Two for a multitude of reasons. I mean, the
16:05
Speaker 3: nature of warfare itself has dramatically changed. Is the world
16:09
Speaker 3: going to allow or accept that type of warfare from
16:13
Speaker 3: any country? The affirmative use of nuclear weapons or some
16:16
Speaker 3: you know, massive population wipe out sort of perhaps, oh,
16:21
Speaker 3: I don't know, disease released on the world or something
16:25
Speaker 3: like that. I mean, we live, you know, I just
16:26
Speaker 3: see all these artificial intelligence articles in the Gloom and
16:29
Speaker 3: Doom that they could easily, you know, come up with
16:32
Speaker 3: different ways of manufacturing, genetic mutations and all the other
16:37
Speaker 3: forms of warfare that AI can just churn out and
16:40
Speaker 3: think up and produce on its own. I mean, we're
16:43
Speaker 3: miles away from where we were back then, so I
16:47
Speaker 3: don't know. Considering how interconnected the planet is now, economic
16:52
Speaker 3: warfare is as powerful as bombs these days. If the
16:55
Speaker 3: world's reaction to US going full on nuke against the
16:58
Speaker 3: people of Iran, many of who reject their governing, I mean,
17:03
Speaker 3: how would that work? Gary, I guess I'm just struggling
17:05
Speaker 3: with that.
17:07
Speaker 5: I really don't know, honestly, I don't know. It's either Actually,
17:11
Speaker 5: we're not even affected by this as much.
17:13
Speaker 6: We go.
17:14
Speaker 5: Hey, you know what, those shade bombs are going to
17:17
Speaker 5: be able to reach Paris? I think we let the
17:19
Speaker 5: French take care of it, right. You know, you're either
17:23
Speaker 5: going to copitulate, are you going to? Are you're going
17:26
Speaker 5: to You're either going to submit to this or you're
17:30
Speaker 5: going to eliminate.
17:32
Speaker 3: It well, and don't ever overlook this this gary that
17:35
Speaker 3: you know, as I mentioned, the way the way warfare
17:37
Speaker 3: has change, and how different we are from say World
17:39
Speaker 3: War two or even twenty years ago. They reached out
17:43
Speaker 3: and touched us. At least many experts are saying it
17:45
Speaker 3: was the Iranians who hacked into twelve of our water
17:47
Speaker 3: systems so they can wage war here on our soil
17:52
Speaker 3: without having a Shahi drone. Actually impact us and do
17:56
Speaker 3: far more damage economically. If they were able to hack
17:58
Speaker 3: into our you know, maybe financial systems, or maybe just
18:01
Speaker 3: the electronic grid or the electric grid and shut that down.
18:04
Speaker 3: That's worse than bombs.
18:07
Speaker 5: There's also the thing that I fear, which is precedent.
18:10
Speaker 5: If we allow this to continue on, or if the
18:13
Speaker 5: world allows us to continue on, then you're going to
18:16
Speaker 5: get the houties and the Red Red Sea. You're going
18:19
Speaker 5: to get this in the Panama and you're going to
18:21
Speaker 5: get in every single I think there are seven choke
18:24
Speaker 5: points throughout the world, and cyber warfare is going to
18:28
Speaker 5: be another thing where well, you know, pay us or else.
18:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the real problem. And you just said the world,
18:36
Speaker 3: the world, the other world is being impacted by the
18:38
Speaker 3: actions of the Iranians. Where and the hell is the
18:41
Speaker 3: rest of the world. I understand China, maybe uh, North Korea,
18:46
Speaker 3: and maybe Iran and the the the radical fundamentalist Muslims
18:49
Speaker 3: in the Middle East being on the side of the Iranians.
18:52
Speaker 3: The rest of the world seems to be harmed by
18:55
Speaker 3: what the Iranians are doing. Now some may suggest the
18:57
Speaker 3: United States bears some responsibility, but overall, yeah, who's the radicals,
19:01
Speaker 3: who's fomenting the violence, who keeps bombing people? Who's responsible
19:05
Speaker 3: for funding terrorists and supporting terrorists? Right? We know who
19:08
Speaker 3: the enemy is, which the rest of the world would
19:10
Speaker 3: wake up to that reality, maybe this whole thing would
19:12
Speaker 3: be over and we'd achieve the objective we want, which
19:15
Speaker 3: Gary I understand. Yeah, the elimination of the current Iranian administration.
19:19
Speaker 3: Five twenty eight Right now, local stories or phone calls
19:21

19:44
Speaker 3: some amazing revelations, and read the article COVID lockdown gave
19:48
Speaker 3: Americans a glympse of socialism as many people go out
19:51
Speaker 3: and contemplate the idea of voting for a socialist. Wow. Anyway,
19:54
Speaker 3: it's what Tom's got this morning. Tom, thanks for calling us. Always.
19:56
Speaker 3: Happy Monday to you, sir.
20:00
Speaker 7: Morning. I hope you had a good weekend.
20:01
Speaker 3: I had a very nice weekend, Thank you very much.
20:03
Speaker 3: Hope you can say the same.
20:05
Speaker 7: Worked all weekend. So and we we just had a
20:08
Speaker 7: big thunderstorm roll through up here at a little northwest
20:11
Speaker 7: of Indianapolis. So I know the system is heading towards you,
20:14
Speaker 7: but it looks like it was dying out as it
20:17
Speaker 7: was going through. You'll get something, I'm sure, Like you said,
20:21
Speaker 7: it might rain or or not. Yeah, I know, there's
20:24
Speaker 7: the official weather forecast.
20:27
Speaker 3: Is just head your back, right, it might not. Don't
20:32
Speaker 3: blame me. I told you it could happen or not.
20:34
Speaker 7: Could happen either way, right, Yeah, you mentioned the world. Uh,
20:42
Speaker 7: and there's no help And and one of the main
20:45
Speaker 7: reasons there are no help is because socialism and and
20:50
Speaker 7: communism and Marxism and all this has been has been
20:53
Speaker 7: allowed to infiltrate all these other countries and and basically
20:59
Speaker 7: rendering them you us to fight against anything any real threat.
21:03
Speaker 8: Uh.
21:04
Speaker 7: They they they made up all these things and got
21:06
Speaker 7: all hysterical over all these things that they considered existential
21:11
Speaker 7: threats and and all that, and and the weather.
21:14
Speaker 3: And gb carbon dioxide, right.
21:17
Speaker 7: Carbon dioxide. Oh man, if we just got rid of
21:19
Speaker 7: carbon dioxide, right, wouldn't the world being much better? Just stupid,
21:25
Speaker 7: stupid stuff like that. And now now they're basically useless
21:28
Speaker 7: to fight against something that really is a threat, really
21:32
Speaker 7: is an enemy to everybody. And and even to the
21:35
Speaker 7: point where they they they side with with these fundamentalists
21:39
Speaker 7: sometimes and and want want people to feel sorry for him.
21:42
Speaker 7: I mean, you have a group of you have a
21:45
Speaker 7: group of people who who who believe, has Gary pointed out,
21:48
Speaker 7: they believe that if you don't believe the way we believe,
21:51
Speaker 7: we have the right to eliminate you.
21:53
Speaker 9: Uh.
21:53
Speaker 7: That's that's just insane. So maybe all the people holding
21:57
Speaker 7: all the note case signs, uh, you know, should maybe
22:01
Speaker 7: change their signs to fight against something that's an actual threat.
22:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, well, and you know this in the
22:08
Speaker 3: the European Union, we've all seen it's been overrun with
22:11
Speaker 3: a whole lot of fundamentalist Muslims. You know, they cordoned
22:14
Speaker 3: off their neighborhoods, there are no go zones for the
22:18
Speaker 3: you know, the the former citizens of France say, for example,
22:21
Speaker 3: that that's an invasion, slow but steady. It's happened over
22:25
Speaker 3: a period of years, and they've made some significant inroads.
22:28
Speaker 3: So you got that, and then you look look what
22:30
Speaker 3: happened in Spain just last week, and look what happened
22:33
Speaker 3: to our southern border during the Biden administration.
22:36
Speaker 7: And and they don't think that they're not doing that here.
22:39
Speaker 7: I mean there's areas already what a mini outlets, so
22:42
Speaker 7: sure that that you just can't go in as there's
22:45
Speaker 7: and I'm sure there's other cities and counties that have
22:48
Speaker 7: been affected by this, and they're they're trying to do
22:50
Speaker 7: it everywhere. They they believe what they believe, they're serious
22:53
Speaker 7: about it. They're not just like you know, we have
22:57
Speaker 7: a lot of people, a lot of friends and even
22:59
Speaker 7: some extent we ourselves, maybe we uh maybe we go
23:03
Speaker 7: to church and we we believe in God or whatever,
23:05
Speaker 7: and and uh, but we we we try to categorize it, Uh,
23:10
Speaker 7: compartmentalize it. I should say, maybe we shouldn't do it
23:13
Speaker 7: to the extent we do. Maybe we shouldn't compartmentalize it.
23:17
Speaker 7: But these people, their religion is part of every single
23:20
Speaker 7: thing they do. And yet you got to understand that's
23:23
Speaker 7: what you're dealing with. When someone is basically going around
23:27
Speaker 7: killing people because they don't believe the same that they believe,
23:30
Speaker 7: that's that's very scary and very dangerous, and we got
23:33
Speaker 7: to do something about it when and and what can
23:35
Speaker 7: we do not let these people get into public offices
23:38
Speaker 7: here in our country that are going along with this garbage.
23:41
Speaker 7: So don't vote Democrats.
23:43
Speaker 3: Have a great day, You do the same. Yeah, I
23:45
Speaker 3: mean all you need to do is read the rantings
23:47
Speaker 3: of uh of Marxist streamer Hassan Piker, who's been campaigning
23:51
Speaker 3: for the Democratic Socialist of America. This, you know, kill
23:55
Speaker 3: literally kill capitalists, got them down on the streets. The
24:00
Speaker 3: words are appalling, and he's dead serious about it, and
24:04
Speaker 3: he's a darling of the DSA. Well, until they start
24:08
Speaker 3: trying to distance themselves from that. Anyhow, more on that
24:10
Speaker 3: coming up after the stack is stupid. I got Bobby
24:12
Speaker 3: on line as well. Bobby, your next don't go away
24:14
Speaker 3: and you can feel free to call as well. Give
24:16
Speaker 3: it hi, Bobby. And if your joint's hurt every single
24:18
Speaker 3: day and your doctor's already said time for surgery, don't
24:21
Speaker 3: do that. Yes, if you talk station straight to the phones,
24:23
Speaker 3: Bobby held over the rate. You can call to five
24:25
Speaker 3: on three, seven eight eight two three, talk time five
24:29
Speaker 3: fifty on eight andp phones. Bobby, thanks for calling.
24:31
Speaker 10: Happy Monday to you, Happy Monday to you, my friend.
24:35
Speaker 10: They talk about think talking out the box and thinking
24:38
Speaker 10: out the box and everything I can take exactly why
24:41
Speaker 10: we go on and all these strikes in the RAN,
24:44
Speaker 10: It's very simple. It's not what they want to talk about.
24:48
Speaker 10: Petro dollars that expired two years ago with Saudi Arabia.
24:54
Speaker 10: They don't want US dollars in came three coil, none
24:59
Speaker 10: of the countries, so Saudi Arabia, all of the golf countries, India.
25:07
Speaker 10: That's the only way they can hold their brick together.
25:12
Speaker 3: Now, explain to me a world post us petro dollars.
25:19
Speaker 10: The falling of the US currency.
25:21
Speaker 3: Right, Well, the US does give the default currency, and
25:23
Speaker 3: I think we're dangerous. We're in dangerous territory in so
25:26
Speaker 3: far as our debt is concerned that we will no
25:29
Speaker 3: longer be the default currency. That's a problem because we've
25:33
Speaker 3: watered it down. This is our own actions putting that
25:35
Speaker 3: in jeopardy.
25:37
Speaker 10: People have to understand why these countries hold US treasuries.
25:42
Speaker 10: They do that because they have to hold US currencies
25:46
Speaker 10: and reserve for Petra dollars. They don't want that. That's
25:51
Speaker 10: the reason why we're all in and off. When he
25:53
Speaker 10: strikes to Iran, Saudi Arabia, all these countries that are
25:58
Speaker 10: involved with Brick, they do not want any more attacks
26:02
Speaker 10: on Iran because it'll collapse at vision.
26:07
Speaker 3: What a v corollary to that. They don't want any
26:09
Speaker 3: more attacks on Iran because of Iran rather than going
26:11
Speaker 3: after US, although it does go after our military bases
26:14
Speaker 3: that are spread around the Middle East. They go after
26:16
Speaker 3: Jordan and Kuwait and the other Arab countries. Saudi Arabian
26:20
Speaker 3: they bomb things like, well they're petrol processing facilities.
26:26
Speaker 10: Well, the peture dollar purchasing expired two years ago. That
26:30
Speaker 10: was only a fifty year agreement that Nixon went in
26:33
Speaker 10: in nineteen seventy four. It expired two years ago. They
26:37
Speaker 10: don't want to talk about that. It all has to
26:40
Speaker 10: do it money. Just like Japan, for example, they got
26:44
Speaker 10: one point six treasury bills they're holding. That's what they
26:50
Speaker 10: used to transfer to hold in reserve for Petra dollars.
26:55
Speaker 10: I'm telling you that's the reason why we're going on
26:58
Speaker 10: all these strikes out of the Arabia wanting les landing
27:02
Speaker 10: on their basis.
27:03
Speaker 3: Now, so where where does that? Where does that end? Then? Bobby?
27:08
Speaker 10: It ends very poorly. They'll start start dropping treisure certificates
27:13
Speaker 10: all these countries that are holding the certificates. They're doing
27:16
Speaker 10: it mainly because of reserves are petro dollars. That's the
27:20
Speaker 10: reason why.
27:21
Speaker 3: And can our economy continue and survive if no one
27:24
Speaker 3: buys our t bills anymore? Bobby?
27:26
Speaker 6: No?
27:28
Speaker 3: Right? Why is that?
27:29
Speaker 11: Why?
27:29
Speaker 10: It's five to ten billion dollars that were buying yen
27:33
Speaker 10: off Japan so they don't dump our treasuries.
27:37
Speaker 3: How about that? Well, another rink propping up their currency.
27:41
Speaker 3: I know we're propping up their currency. That was the
27:44
Speaker 3: motive for that purchase. Yet last week wasn't it.
27:47
Speaker 10: Yeah, and they hold one point six trillion in our certificates,
27:51
Speaker 10: so we have to.
27:52
Speaker 3: Prop up their currencies so they can correspondingly uphold our
27:57
Speaker 3: prop up our currency. Yes on shaky ground, aren't we, Bobby?
28:02
Speaker 10: Yes?
28:04
Speaker 3: Do you have any good news? You want to end
28:06
Speaker 3: the call with some good news? Bobby? Is there anything
28:07
Speaker 3: you want to pay? Is positive going on.
28:09
Speaker 6: In the world.
28:11
Speaker 10: It's supposed to rain my train. It'll keep the thugs
28:13
Speaker 10: off the street, That's all I could think.
28:16

35:32
Speaker 3: The economy, which is benefiting the Democrats because some people
35:36
Speaker 3: are of the mind that the Democrats will be better
35:37
Speaker 3: stewards of the economy. And then for the Republicans, it's
35:41
Speaker 3: the growing ranks of communists in the Democrat party that's
35:44
Speaker 3: working to the Republicans advantage, which one will win in November. Now,
35:48
Speaker 3: in terms of the economy, people's perception of it is
35:51
Speaker 3: a lot worse than the reality of it. And I
35:56
Speaker 3: don't know, well, I guess my feelings and thoughts on
36:00
Speaker 3: this is people's lack of understanding about what drives the
36:03
Speaker 3: economy and what impacts it. Because the stock market has
36:08
Speaker 3: done extraordinarily well, so we have this overall downbeat mood
36:12
Speaker 3: about the economy. Inflation most notably the key factor on that,
36:16
Speaker 3: but what's driving inflation? So you have the downbeat a
36:20
Speaker 3: mood in contrast with the stock market that's been doing really,
36:23
Speaker 3: really well. Consumer spending has remained solid in spite of
36:27
Speaker 3: the fact that we all believe the economy is terrible.
36:29
Speaker 3: We haven't changed our spending habits. Spending of course driving
36:32
Speaker 3: our economy gross domestic product did expand at one point
36:36
Speaker 3: nine percent annual rate over the six quarters. It ended
36:39
Speaker 3: in June, down a little bit then from Joe Biden's
36:42
Speaker 3: final year, but not bad. Unemployment rate barely budged and
36:46
Speaker 3: edging up from four percent in January twenty twenty five,
36:49
Speaker 3: but still low. It's only four point one in July,
36:52
Speaker 3: so effectively a full employment which we've been enjoying for
36:55
Speaker 3: quite some time. Now that inflation happens to be the
36:58
Speaker 3: big problem. Consumer price this is three point five percent
37:01
Speaker 3: higher than June than one year earlier. That's on the
37:04
Speaker 3: heels of, of course, the insane inflation under Joe Biden.
37:06
Speaker 3: What's driving that? Is it supplying to man problems or
37:11
Speaker 3: is it well, perhaps the watering down of the currency,
37:13
Speaker 3: which is what I suggested in the last hour when
37:16
Speaker 3: you chuck trillions and trillions of new dollars into the economy,
37:19
Speaker 3: which is exactly what happened on the back of COVID.
37:22
Speaker 3: We need trillions and trillions of dollars because we shut
37:26
Speaker 3: down business, industry, and schools and everything else. Problem created
37:30
Speaker 3: by government. Solution from government to print dollars, and twenty
37:34
Speaker 3: nineteen the dollar was worth one third more than it
37:37
Speaker 3: is now. Eggs go up, maybe because of bird flu.
37:45
Speaker 3: Bird flu problem goes away, egg production goes back up,
37:48
Speaker 3: price of eggs goes down. The value of the dollar
37:53
Speaker 3: hasn't gone up, though, has it. That's because we've printed
37:56
Speaker 3: ourselves into a situation where the dollar's worthless and you
38:00
Speaker 3: can't change that. Who are you going to blame for
38:04
Speaker 3: that reality? Are you going to remember the printing press
38:08
Speaker 3: being responsible for inflation in large part? Or are you
38:12
Speaker 3: going to reward the Democrats who's well gained plan is
38:14
Speaker 3: to run the printing press. A lot of polls lately
38:19
Speaker 3: suggest voters see the Democrat Party is a better economic
38:21
Speaker 3: steward than the Republican Party, which is strange that's not
38:24
Speaker 3: normally the case. For the first time since twenty ten,
38:27
Speaker 3: Fox News poll finds voters citing Democrats as better than
38:30
Speaker 3: the Republicans on the economy. Democrats leaning by four points
38:33
Speaker 3: on that question in April, now nine points in July.
38:39
Speaker 3: This recently is twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three,
38:41
Speaker 3: the GOP led that on that by fifteen points. Now,
38:45
Speaker 3: Americans for Prosperity, we get donaldan'neil on every week talking
38:48
Speaker 3: about this and Wall Street Journal report of the Americans
38:50
Speaker 3: for Prosperity Action, which is going door to door, as
38:53
Speaker 3: Donovant points out every week, found that one in five
38:56
Speaker 3: Republican leaning voters is at a risk of s daying
39:00
Speaker 3: home or even defecting. Why economic concerns. This is what
39:06
Speaker 3: they're door to door knocking has revealed. However, as Donovan
39:09
Speaker 3: likes to point out, if you get involved and engage
39:11
Speaker 3: and you go door knocking, that's an opportunity to convince
39:13
Speaker 3: someone that Democrats aren't the salvation, they're actually the problem.
39:19
Speaker 3: They said. The group has said you can talk those
39:26
Speaker 3: defectors off the ledge by conversing with them, by drawing
39:31
Speaker 3: a contrast with the Democratic Party, like reminding them of
39:34
Speaker 3: the socialist mentality the Democrats have and how expensive it
39:37
Speaker 3: is and how economically ruinous those policies are. They're crazy,
39:44
Speaker 3: and it's pointed out the flip side of this downside
39:46
Speaker 3: for Republican apparently the economy. But the socialists on the
39:50
Speaker 3: Democrat side have their own problem. Democratic socialists are battling
39:54
Speaker 3: Centrists over their party's economic agenda, and polling. That same
39:58
Speaker 3: kind of polling shows volter voters don't believe the Democrats
40:01
Speaker 3: Socialists are the better stewards of it. Sixty nine percent
40:05
Speaker 3: of voters disapprove of the job Democrats are doing in Congress,
40:10
Speaker 3: So why would they do a better job in the economy?
40:14
Speaker 3: And economists and analysts puzzling now for many years over
40:17
Speaker 3: why the economy that looks really solid by all traditional metrics,
40:21
Speaker 3: if not stellar, has produced such as sour public mood. Hmm,
40:27
Speaker 3: I'm gonna blame social media and the echo chambers. You're
40:31
Speaker 3: in an echo chamber where you're told that evil orange
40:34
Speaker 3: man's terrible, got off, he's satan, whatever, whatever, whatever, and
40:37
Speaker 3: the economy is terrible, and that's all you listen to
40:39
Speaker 3: all day long. Maybe that seeps into your psychology and
40:42
Speaker 3: you believe that things are all terrible out in the world.
40:45
Speaker 3: Get out of your echo chamber, maybe and look at
40:47
Speaker 3: the real figures and wait, wait a second, Things are
40:50
Speaker 3: not as bad as they project. And remember inflation measures
40:55
Speaker 3: how much prices have risen over a year. People actually
40:57
Speaker 3: are angry because they look at the price they're paying
41:00
Speaker 3: now versus what they paid before the pandemic. And we
41:04
Speaker 3: always focus on the recent past in terms of our
41:07
Speaker 3: long term economic outlook. Well, things suck. Now. It must
41:10
Speaker 3: be evil Orange Man's fault. I was only paying, you know,
41:13
Speaker 3: two dollars for a full sized family bag of chips,
41:15
Speaker 3: and now it's five dollars and ninety cents. Huh. Well,
41:19
Speaker 3: it's never going to go down to the two dollars
41:21
Speaker 3: pre pandemic level. We've watered the currency down. Remember that
41:31
Speaker 3: says polling here, it shows only limited signs that the
41:34
Speaker 3: economic discontent is turning into votes for Democratic candidates. A
41:37
Speaker 3: bright sign here as a group, polls show that voters
41:40
Speaker 3: say they will back a Democrat for Congress over a
41:42
Speaker 3: Republican by about six point. But that's the same lead
41:46
Speaker 3: they had back in twenty eighteen, when views of Trump's
41:50
Speaker 3: management of the economy were far more positive. So they
41:53
Speaker 3: still had a six point advantage back then. We roll
41:55
Speaker 3: the clock back than they do now, So maybe we
41:58
Speaker 3: can discount that and say, well, maybe people are smarter
42:01
Speaker 3: than what the poll suggests, which is that they might
42:03
Speaker 3: go Democrat in terms of the economy, Lord Almighty, does
42:09
Speaker 3: anybody think price fixing and rent control and defunding the police,
42:13
Speaker 3: And we could go on and on about the Democratic
42:14
Speaker 3: Socialist of America's agenda, Does any of it sound like
42:18
Speaker 3: it's economically good for the America taxing the rich into submission,
42:24
Speaker 3: demanding that they pay their fair share, and these wild
42:27
Speaker 3: demands on the rich. Francesca Hong, who's the leading as
42:31
Speaker 3: the Democratic front runner the Democratic primary for Wisconsin, wants
42:34
Speaker 3: to jack the tax up to seventeen percent. Well, the
42:39
Speaker 3: highest business rate in the country is eleven point five
42:45
Speaker 3: percent in New Jersey. How's New Jersey faring? That's right.
42:49
Speaker 3: People have left the state. And it's happened to every
42:56
Speaker 3: state that's tried jacking of the tax on the millionaires
42:58
Speaker 3: and billionaires. They all flee the state, depriving the state
43:01
Speaker 3: of that revenue. And well, the destination states get the
43:04
Speaker 3: benefit of the money that they otherwise would have spent
43:06
Speaker 3: in the high tax state Florida, Texas, et cetera. And
43:11
Speaker 3: who is this Hassan Piker guy. You want some insight
43:17
Speaker 3: into the future of America under Democratic Socialists of America,
43:20
Speaker 3: pay attention to Marxist streamer Hassan Piker who has been
43:23
Speaker 3: out fundraising and backing some of these candidates. And since
43:26
Speaker 3: the Democrats have got deer in the headlights, concerns over
43:29
Speaker 3: the radical socialist Marxists making inroads into their party. They're
43:35
Speaker 3: starting to diss themselves, distance themselves from this guy. But
43:38
Speaker 3: this guy, I think is the true face of what
43:40
Speaker 3: these folks want. And when you read what he has
43:43
Speaker 3: written and said out loud, and what he fully believes in,
43:46
Speaker 3: you have reason to be fear of. To be fearful

44:49
Speaker 3: KRCD Talk Station, Happy Monday. Christopher smithvan coming up in
44:53
Speaker 3: one hour. Looking forward to Eas Smith event as always. Yeah,
44:57
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe he's the the farthest far leftist out there,
45:02
Speaker 3: at least in terms of, you know, the political spectrum
45:05
Speaker 3: the Democrats find themselves in. But this is San Piker,
45:08
Speaker 3: who is an online increasingly visible and described as unofficial
45:12
Speaker 3: spokesman for the Democratic Socialist of America. Hassan Piker. He's
45:16
Speaker 3: a streamer whatever right. He's won of many out there,
45:18
Speaker 3: but anyway, he's been behind the Michigan Democratic Senate candidate
45:22
Speaker 3: Abdul al Saied, who is the victor at least in
45:25
Speaker 3: the primary. Francisco Hong, the Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate, who's ahead
45:31
Speaker 3: in the polls. Now, I know we're not going to
45:33
Speaker 3: listen to polls, considering this alsa Ed guy only won
45:36
Speaker 3: by one sliver of a point when he was predicted
45:39
Speaker 3: to win by double digits in Michigan. She's predicted win
45:41
Speaker 3: by double digits in Wisconsin. But she's batcrap insane. She
45:44
Speaker 3: has zero experienced. She's thirty seven, and she's a full
45:47
Speaker 3: on socialist. He thinks that Thanksgiving should be canceled, among
45:51
Speaker 3: other crazy rantings. Also, someone who's Hassan Piker is a
45:59
Speaker 3: fan of there, and of course he's a big fan
46:01
Speaker 3: of New York City Mayor Zorhan Mindami, who's batcrap insane
46:04
Speaker 3: socialist as well. Now that it's saying that this Piker
46:07
Speaker 3: guy's now become a liability for Democrats, Hillary Clinton even
46:10
Speaker 3: came out on Friday warning the Democrats about it. It's
46:13
Speaker 3: not just about Michigan, but the Republican messing eugen is
46:16
Speaker 3: communist socialists. It's going to be a very effective attack.
46:20
Speaker 3: That's right. The Democrats are worried about this because again
46:22
Speaker 3: polling shows that most people are still sane and reject
46:25
Speaker 3: this far left socialism, most notably when it comes along
46:29
Speaker 3: the lines of what Piker has been saying online. How
46:32
Speaker 3: can you follow a guy or be affiliated with a
46:34
Speaker 3: guy who wants to literally kill capitalists. Here's what he said. Quote, Yeah,
46:40
Speaker 3: kill them, kill those compound FCC non compliant word MF
46:48
Speaker 3: plural and murder those same word in the street. Let
46:53
Speaker 3: the streets soak in their fwording red capitalist blood dude.
46:57
Speaker 3: Close quote. Here's another one. We want more immigrants to
47:02
Speaker 3: come into your countries, and they're going to f word
47:06
Speaker 3: your sisters and then your daughters. We're here to destroy
47:09
Speaker 3: the white race B word close quote. And then when
47:17
Speaker 3: he was presented with multiple different flags of different countries
47:19
Speaker 3: to san Piker said, quote, overall, my favorite flag is
47:22
Speaker 3: Hezbala designated terrorist organization and murderers of many people.
47:29
Speaker 10: Oh.
47:29
Speaker 3: We also, in his words, deserved nine one one, nine
47:33
Speaker 3: to eleven. That's right, America deserved nine to eleven. I
47:36
Speaker 3: do not support the United States of America. Also quote,
47:40
Speaker 3: I don't have any sort of patriotism in my heart
47:44
Speaker 3: for America. Hmm. Well, and you might think about subversive
47:51
Speaker 3: activity because he was saying all these things. He also
47:54
Speaker 3: is a huge supporter of China, Russia, and Cuba. He
47:57
Speaker 3: has a huge, out loud supporter not just has Ballah
48:01
Speaker 3: of Hamas and the Huthis. He's told the Jews to
48:04
Speaker 3: go back to Auschwitz. Federal investigators' report have been examining
48:11
Speaker 3: the possibility that this revolutionary activity activity is being supported
48:15
Speaker 3: by oh foreign subversion networks, with multiple news sources reporting
48:20
Speaker 3: that and when you see the left wing as far
48:24
Speaker 3: left as it gets. The University of Wisconsin canceling a
48:27
Speaker 3: Piker event that had been previously scheduled. Some people are
48:29
Speaker 3: viewing that as a slight glommer of hope. If one
48:32
Speaker 3: of America's most progressive universities now views him as a
48:35
Speaker 3: potential liability, and you've got the likes of Hillary Clinton,
48:38
Speaker 3: which still carries some weight in the Democratic Party circles,
48:41
Speaker 3: and you got the James Carvills of the world. Yeah,
48:43
Speaker 3: he's aging not so well, and he still probably represents
48:47
Speaker 3: more of the Democrat old guard. He's screaming and all
48:49
Speaker 3: about the Democratic Democrats shift far left too, and saying
48:52
Speaker 3: it is going to be a liability. Good would suggest
48:58
Speaker 3: that in spite of economic woes we're facing, and it's
49:00
Speaker 3: still a lot better dealing with economic woes real or
49:03
Speaker 3: perceived than it would be in America that's dominated and
49:11
Speaker 3: at implementing far left socialist policies that these people are championing,
49:16
Speaker 3: you know, and try to figure the cost on all
49:19
Speaker 3: of this. Taxing the rich is not a solution, you know.
49:26
Speaker 3: So many economic models have pointed out when you leave
49:28
Speaker 3: people their own money, they all reinvested and they put
49:31
Speaker 3: more money into corporations they had never to grow their business,
49:34
Speaker 3: and business growth is dependent upon wealth and investment. Take
49:38
Speaker 3: away the opportunity to have the wealth invested in business.
49:41
Speaker 3: Guess what, The businesses don't grow, more people are not hired,
49:45
Speaker 3: and of course revenue shrinks every single time. And the
49:51
Speaker 3: other component of this, you know, talking about the printing
49:53
Speaker 3: press being primarily responsible for your inflationary woes, not supply chains,
50:00
Speaker 3: quantity of goods available, but merely watering down the dollar.
50:03
Speaker 3: The Democrats have no desire to reign in government spending
50:08
Speaker 3: none where in their policies do they even mention the
50:11
Speaker 3: national debt. Have you ever seen an economic breakdown of
50:15
Speaker 3: what their various policies, I mean, pick one, what they're
50:18
Speaker 3: going to cost the American economy, the printing press having
50:24
Speaker 3: to continue to run endlessly, further watering down your dollar,
50:27
Speaker 3: dealing with more inflationary realities. That's just the simple mathematical
50:31
Speaker 3: picture it presents. They will not rain in government spending.
50:37
Speaker 3: Taxpayer dollars at any rate will not cover the outlays
50:40
Speaker 3: necessary to continue this insanity. And yeah, this silence from
50:46
Speaker 3: the Republicans is deafening. Sure they can scream and yell
50:49
Speaker 3: about communists and socialists, and rightfully so, and that may
50:52
Speaker 3: hopefully get people off their butts in November, but they're
50:55
Speaker 3: not offering any long term solutions for the existential threat
50:59
Speaker 3: that's facing us. And no, it's not the Iranians. It's
51:03
Speaker 3: this spending problem we have. We're paying more than a
51:07
Speaker 3: trillion dollars every year for the credit card bill, the
51:10
Speaker 3: interest rate alone, that's only going up every single day.
51:16
Speaker 3: There's the answer to the inflation problem right there. Will
51:19
Speaker 3: people really focus on it or are we gonna be
51:21
Speaker 3: flavor of the moment, which is typically what we do.
51:24
Speaker 3: Economy bad at least we perceive it to be. Inflation
51:26
Speaker 3: certainly up. It's gotta be Donald Trump's fault. It's the
51:30
Speaker 3: worn iron. Okay, go ahead and blame the warn iron
51:32
Speaker 3: for the price of gasoline going up, But don't lose
51:34
Speaker 3: sight of the fact that the Democrat Party is the
51:36
Speaker 3: one that embraced the Green New Deal and they're not
51:39
Speaker 3: putting that down where they wanted the price of gas
51:42
Speaker 3: to go up. They want to eliminate petroleum products from
51:45
Speaker 3: the planet. Yeah, that's gonna work with Kruger shopping yesterday
51:52
Speaker 3: brought home a gallon of milk. It was in a
51:54
Speaker 3: plastic bottle. Yeah, look around you world five twenty seven
51:59
Speaker 3: fifty five CAS talk station. It's so much more complicated.
52:02
Speaker 3: And ye timas wishing everyone a you Monday. They got
52:03
Speaker 3: some local stories here to go through. You can call though.
52:08
Speaker 3: Seven fifty eight hundred eight two three tak good to Covington.
52:11
Speaker 3: We have a man convicted of fifty six felony offenses,
52:14
Speaker 3: including sex crimes against minor. Corner the press release in
52:18
Speaker 3: the Commonwealth Attorney's Office, thirty four year old Christopher Sears
52:21
Speaker 3: was found guilty of thirty two counts of distribution and
52:24
Speaker 3: matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor, twenty counts
52:28
Speaker 3: possession matters portraying sexual performance by a minor, in four
52:31
Speaker 3: counts of unlawful use of electronic device to solicit a
52:34
Speaker 3: minor for sexual acts. Get your kids off social media.
52:40
Speaker 3: Jerry heard testament about sears prior felony convictions and found
52:43
Speaker 3: him guilty of being a persistent felony offender. Jerry recommended
52:48
Speaker 3: the verdicts run consecutively. Are you ready for a total
52:51
Speaker 3: of nine hundred and seventy two years in prison. Sadly,
52:58
Speaker 3: his offenses were committed before the Safer Kentucky Act was passed,
53:01
Speaker 3: which means his sentence will be capped at twenty years
53:04
Speaker 3: by law now. They started investigating this guy back in
53:09
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four Court of the release after police received
53:12
Speaker 3: multiple ports from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,
53:15
Speaker 3: saying Sears was using social media app Kick to send
53:19
Speaker 3: pictures and videos of child sexual assault material to other people.
53:23
Speaker 3: Police investigated his Kick account found he was in fact
53:26
Speaker 3: exchanging child sexual assault material with other users, including material
53:30
Speaker 3: he claimed to be of his own family members. Release
53:36
Speaker 3: said police also found conversations where Sears was communicating with
53:40
Speaker 3: miners on the Kick app, engaging in sexual conversations and
53:43
Speaker 3: setting up seeing photos and videos of himself while also
53:46
Speaker 3: attempting to get photos and videos from the miners. The
53:51
Speaker 3: release said Sears told detectives that he was using Kick
53:53
Speaker 3: to cheat on his wife and thought of the app
53:56
Speaker 3: as like a porno website. He confessed to receiving numerous
54:00
Speaker 3: depictions of child sexual abuse material from other users. Series
54:05
Speaker 3: claimed his behavior was a result of significant methanphetamine use.
54:12
Speaker 3: Releases formal sentencing will take place in September. Oh We'll
54:16
Speaker 3: let them off the hook, then right, Jerie is the
54:19
Speaker 3: biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies, there's
54:24

Speaker 3: op ed piece Vivo DSA Revolution and going back to this,
55:11
Speaker 3: you know that the Republicans do have a great option
55:14
Speaker 3: going into November by focusing on this socialist, communist leanings
55:18
Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party. This is their big tent. Democrats
55:21
Speaker 3: are struggling with the reality of that people rejected across
55:24
Speaker 3: the board, pulling after pulling after polling. This isn't like
55:26
Speaker 3: close polling. The least Americans maintain some level of sanity
55:30
Speaker 3: when it comes to the relative positions of the two
55:32
Speaker 3: parties and the further shift that left the Democrats are making.
55:36
Speaker 3: You know, going back to Hassan Piker is frightening some
55:40
Speaker 3: of the Democratic base off. Maybe they won't go up
55:42
Speaker 3: going and vote possible. Republicans are struggling with the same
55:48
Speaker 3: reality because everybody's feeling the impacts of inflation, even if
55:52
Speaker 3: it's wrongly laid at the lap of Donald Trump, with
55:54
Speaker 3: the notable exception of gasoline prices in the war with Iran.
55:58
Speaker 3: The economy is doing quite well right now. So over
56:02
Speaker 3: to Andy Kessler, socialism is the cool new way to
56:07
Speaker 3: get elected. The mantra is effective, Oh, we just want
56:10
Speaker 3: more affordable housing, and then simply whisper sweet. Nothing's like
56:15
Speaker 3: free buses, cheap groceries, and frozen rent into the ears
56:18
Speaker 3: of young, naive, economically illiterate, free riding over deegreed, underpaid
56:25
Speaker 3: at least compared with their high self regard voters who think,
56:29
Speaker 3: surely the socialist central planners will appreciate my talents. It works,
56:35
Speaker 3: they get the votes. Better listen to what they say
56:38
Speaker 3: and watch what they do. The Democratic Socialists of America
56:43
Speaker 3: state quote, complete victory will require building a new society
56:48
Speaker 3: from the ground up close quote. This is their goal,
56:51
Speaker 3: no matter how much lipstick they put on their piggy
56:54
Speaker 3: ideology with slogans like less rent, more control, and workers
56:58
Speaker 3: deserve more. This history shows socialism is no way to
57:03
Speaker 3: govern without carnage, bankruptcies, crashes, inevitable unrest when the free
57:08
Speaker 3: buses stop running from lack of funds, and upkeep. I
57:12
Speaker 3: want to circle that word upkeep and throw it in
57:14
Speaker 3: the face of our elected officials in downtown Cincinnati who've
57:17
Speaker 3: had stuff and things to maintain and upkeep for years,
57:24
Speaker 3: which they never have back dude Andy. Perversely, those who
57:29
Speaker 3: ruined our education system are being rewarded so they can
57:31
Speaker 3: ruin the rest of the economy. How the DSA website
57:35
Speaker 3: pines for quote a future without capitalism close quote, in
57:39
Speaker 3: which you can quote work as much as you are
57:41
Speaker 3: able and know more than needed close quote. It's almost
57:44
Speaker 3: as if Karl Marx came back and used chat GPT
57:47
Speaker 3: to summarize his According to his needs nonsense. Democratic socialism
57:53
Speaker 3: is a worse oxymoron than original copy. Sure it's a
57:57
Speaker 3: trendy new thing, but mostly fertilizer for the feeble minded.
58:01
Speaker 3: New York Mayor's Zoron Mam Dami seems infected with political
58:04
Speaker 3: cyclospor exploding diet tribes that leave you empty packs. The
58:08
Speaker 3: rich afford the basic dignities of life, with, of course,
58:14
Speaker 3: no substance attached to those statements. Zohmart would be great
58:19
Speaker 3: branding for New York City's run, city run grocery stores,
58:22
Speaker 3: though they're doomed to fail. The mayor says they'll have
58:25
Speaker 3: thirty percent discounts on a core basket of goods. They
58:28
Speaker 3: even take econ one oh one. Price discovery is critical,
58:32
Speaker 3: else you get hoarding shortages and bear shelves or worse
58:36
Speaker 3: librett to actions cards like in Cuba. It's all been
58:40
Speaker 3: tried before. Quote you're a mayor, dude, quote said John Fetterman.
58:45
Speaker 3: He's cracking me up of late said that on Newsmax.
58:48
Speaker 3: Pick up the trash, fix some potholes, said John Fetterman.
58:52
Speaker 3: No fun in that. Viva Low Revolution. The movement's promise
58:57
Speaker 3: go down promises, go downhill from there Darlasia Avilia Chevalier
59:02
Speaker 3: is running for Congress endorspy Zoran Mamdami. She wrote in
59:06
Speaker 3: a sense deleted tweet quote, no more police at all. Ever. Ever,
59:12
Speaker 3: she wrote to CNN that her tweets don't reflect who
59:15
Speaker 3: she is today. She's only thirty two years old. The
59:19
Speaker 3: DSA Abolition Working Group's website, they have one of those
59:23
Speaker 3: says they plan to defund the police by rejecting any
59:27
Speaker 3: expansion to police budgets or scope of enforcement while cutting
59:30
Speaker 3: budgets are annually towards zero. That's a quote from the website. Yeah,
59:38
Speaker 3: that's ever. Bye bye order Now any points out this
59:43
Speaker 3: is an interesting reality. I lived in Manhattan under policing
59:46
Speaker 3: deficient Mayor David Dinkins. I foolishly bought a brand new
59:49
Speaker 3: Toyota for Runner. It was stolen within thirty six hours.
59:52
Speaker 3: My mistake. A then buddy used filing cabinet gray hondu
59:56
Speaker 3: a cord. No one would ever steal them bud It
59:58
Speaker 3: was busted into every week and likely by crackheads. No
1:00:01
Speaker 3: police insight. Windows smashed the key cylinders for the passenger
1:00:05
Speaker 3: door and trunk pried out. I had to use the
1:00:09
Speaker 3: trunk opener inside the glove compartment, which of course had
1:00:11
Speaker 3: been jimmied open and I kept closed with duct tape.
1:00:14
Speaker 3: I soon moved to Connecticut. Rudy Giuliani eventually cleaned up
1:00:17
Speaker 3: New York Hollywood director Steven Spielberg. Spielberg moved to New
1:00:22
Speaker 3: York as of January first, likely to escape the potential
1:00:25
Speaker 3: billionaire's wealth tax in California. I wonder where he'll move next,
1:00:29
Speaker 3: and in real life disclosure Day, California Representative roal Connor
1:00:32
Speaker 3: recently said that quote the tax should not stop at billionaires.
1:00:36
Speaker 3: It must reach cent to millionaires. The tax has to
1:00:40
Speaker 3: reach all fortunes fifty million and up close. Quote send
1:00:45
Speaker 3: more U haul vans to California. Please back to Mayor Mondami,
1:00:49
Speaker 3: who babbles about paying your quote unquote fair share. He's
1:00:53
Speaker 3: imposed to paid a tear tax for non residents and
1:00:55
Speaker 3: then released a list of almost a million property owners brutal.
1:01:00
Speaker 3: How would he get that idea? Remember Vladimir Lenin's nineteen
1:01:03
Speaker 3: eight nineteen eighteen pens a telegram. You probably don't quote.
1:01:07
Speaker 3: We need to set an example, he wrote, followed by

Speaker 3: several bullet points. Quote publish their names close, quote sandwich
1:01:14

Speaker 3: notorious Kulok's, the rich and the bloodsuckers, and take all
1:01:23
Speaker 3: of their grain from them. Close quote. Socialists have no originality.
1:01:28
Speaker 3: Same kind of thing going on right now with their agenda,
1:01:30
Speaker 3: isn't it? Destruction is infectious. DSA National co chairman Meghan
1:01:34
Speaker 3: Romer told Fox News Shen and Bream her organization wants
1:01:37
Speaker 3: to abolish the Senate, get rid of the Presidency and
1:01:40
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, defund the Pentagon, nationalize most corporations. Wait, don't
1:01:45
Speaker 3: you have to burn the Reichstag first? Still, why do
1:01:48
Speaker 3: voters believe her? This is beyond crack bots, This is
1:01:51
Speaker 3: cuku coup territory. Socialism is a gateway drug. Mister Fetterman,
1:01:57
Speaker 3: Warrior's Democrats are drifting firm into communism. Drifting. Let's ask
1:02:04
Speaker 3: the horse's mouth. A top DSA leader David Jenkins said
1:02:07
Speaker 3: the quiet part out loud quote. Our goal is liberation.
1:02:11
Speaker 3: Our goal is communism. Close quote. The socialist candidate for

1:02:20
Speaker 3: again is twenty points ahead and the race currently in Wisconsin,

Speaker 3: raised money with the guy was talking about earlier influencer
1:02:26
Speaker 3: Hassan Piker, who, well, in addition to dressing like Chairman Mau,
1:02:30
Speaker 3: wants to kill literally every capitalist and wants you to
1:02:32
Speaker 3: go out and do it. Let the blood run in
1:02:34
Speaker 3: the street, says this crazy guy that's pretty black and
1:02:37
Speaker 3: white and read all over. Where is sanity? Concludes Andy Kussler. Amen, Andy,
1:02:42
Speaker 3: Let's hope the word gets out. Don't sit on your
1:02:45
Speaker 3: hands this November. Go out and vote to save the Republic.
1:02:50
Speaker 3: Six forty eight fifty five kr C Detalk Station, Todd,
1:02:53
Speaker 3: you don't mind holding a moment, I'll be happy to
1:02:55
Speaker 3: take your call at sixty two if you about Kersey
1:02:57
Speaker 3: De Talk station Christopher Smithman its seven twenty with this
1:03:00
Speaker 3: min a minute and Todd right now because he was
1:03:03
Speaker 3: kind enough to stay online with the break there. Todd,
1:03:05
Speaker 3: thanks for calling this morning. Welcome to the show.
1:03:08
Speaker 13: Hey, happy Monday, Brian. First of all, I've been trying
1:03:12
Speaker 13: to get through a couple other times. I wanted to
1:03:15
Speaker 13: tell you how happy I was to see your post
1:03:18
Speaker 13: about your pet scan result.
1:03:20
Speaker 10: Oh, thanks man, and glad everything UH has worked out
1:03:25
Speaker 10: for you there so far, very much.
1:03:29
Speaker 13: And then that last article you read Brially Gabe. There's
1:03:33
Speaker 13: a lot of brown to cover there. But first of all,
1:03:37
Speaker 13: but all the democratic socialism and you know, the things
1:03:41
Speaker 13: you know, like I'm dommy and some of the others,
1:03:44
Speaker 13: and even uh absent absent pure of all has been spouting.
1:03:50
Speaker 13: I think we got to look back on history and
1:03:52
Speaker 13: ask the question, what is McCarthy wrong?
1:03:58
Speaker 3: It's I here you ah are you? Now? You know
1:04:02
Speaker 3: a little libertarian Brian Thomas and believes in his First
1:04:05
Speaker 3: Amendment rights and the right to have discourse about you know,
1:04:08
Speaker 3: different political philosophies. And we've been doing that firm since
1:04:11
Speaker 3: the Donna man Kin basically, So when does discourse become
1:04:17
Speaker 3: an act of subversion and maybe something that is deemed
1:04:21
Speaker 3: to be an active effort to well overthrow the United
1:04:24
Speaker 3: States government, which would be actionable, right.
1:04:28
Speaker 10: Right, So it is what.
1:04:31
Speaker 3: Hasan piker's saying is is that can you prosecute him
1:04:35
Speaker 3: for those words?
1:04:37
Speaker 13: Well, it's you're talking about killing and hanging and murdering people.
1:04:43
Speaker 13: I think you got a good case there.
1:04:45
Speaker 3: Well, I go back to the original free speech case
1:04:48
Speaker 3: which Nepolitana brings up all the time from Hamilton County
1:04:52
Speaker 3: where you had the KU klux Klan leader advocating for
1:04:55
Speaker 3: the murder of black people. That was deemed to be
1:04:57
Speaker 3: protected speech, and I'm boiling it down and for its terms.
1:05:00
Speaker 3: So how far can a san piker go in asking
1:05:03
Speaker 3: others to go out and kill capitalists in the street
1:05:06
Speaker 3: before it becomes actionable and something would subject into prosecution.
1:05:12
Speaker 13: Yeah, and that brings me back to my original question,
1:05:15
Speaker 13: was McCarthy wrongs.
1:05:20
Speaker 3: Maybe not, but maybe you know, it depends on where
1:05:24
Speaker 3: your loyalty lies more in concern over the future of
1:05:26
Speaker 3: the United States and the threat that the the the
1:05:29
Speaker 3: socialists and communists of the world present to it, or
1:05:31
Speaker 3: your ability to engage in free speech. Now, smart people,
1:05:35
Speaker 3: if the populace was educated, we could all rely on
1:05:37
Speaker 3: the First Amendment because these insane ideas that these people
1:05:40
Speaker 3: are spouting. The idea is about undermining and destroying our constitution,
1:05:44
Speaker 3: and there is a mechanism to do it. It's built
1:05:45
Speaker 3: into the constitutions, so they can always argue. Listen, yeah,
1:05:48
Speaker 3: we want to abolish the cent we want to abolish
1:05:50
Speaker 3: the presidency. But we're going to do it by amending
1:05:52
Speaker 3: the Constitution as it says, as it states out. We're
1:05:54
Speaker 3: going to call a new constitutional convention or whatever. We
1:05:57
Speaker 3: can still play by the rules and achieve our objectives
1:05:59
Speaker 3: without revolution. So you can make that argument. But if
1:06:02
Speaker 3: we were a smarter, more educated populist, their economic theories
1:06:06
Speaker 3: and their theories on government would be discounted because they
1:06:09
Speaker 3: never work. The world does not work along the lines
1:06:13
Speaker 3: of what socialist leap of faith mentality has in mind.
1:06:16
Speaker 3: It requires you to accept and believe that we're all
1:06:19
Speaker 3: working for the collective good. That I'm going to go
1:06:22
Speaker 3: to work just to benefit the state and my fellow man.
1:06:25
Speaker 3: That's not how we as human beings operate.
1:06:28
Speaker 1: We have.
1:06:28
Speaker 3: Self interest is a default mechanism in our psychology. So
1:06:32
Speaker 3: I say, the fools one is not looking out for
1:06:34
Speaker 3: his or own best interest. That's default. You have genetic
1:06:37
Speaker 3: code in there that's telling you got to look out
1:06:39
Speaker 3: for yourself. Socialism is a religion. It's the great leap
1:06:44
Speaker 3: of faith. It's the commune in theory. Oh, we're all
1:06:48
Speaker 3: gonna collectively work together if we just you know, go
1:06:50
Speaker 3: out and you know, farm the little space. And if
1:06:52
Speaker 3: that guy's responsible for making the bread and that guy's responsible, yeah, right,
1:06:56
Speaker 3: then along comes Bernie Sanders Enters the commune and lays
1:06:58
Speaker 3: on his fat body and doesn't do a thing. That
1:07:01
Speaker 3: is the reality of socialism and communism. If you don't
1:07:05
Speaker 3: get any benefit from your extra effort, you're not going
1:07:07
Speaker 3: to engage in probably any effort. Six fifty seven fifty

Speaker 3: of Ohio, and what that might look like afterwards. So

Speaker 3: two three dog pound five to fifty on AT and
1:08:54
Speaker 3: T phones. Jay, Welcome to the show, my friend, Happy Monday,
1:08:58
Speaker 3: Happy Monday.
1:08:59
Speaker 10: Brian.
1:08:59
Speaker 9: Hey to the previous callers question, I do not think
1:09:02
Speaker 9: McCarthy was wrong. And the reason I say that is
1:09:06
Speaker 9: way back in the turn of the going from eighteen
1:09:10
Speaker 9: hundreds and nineteen hundreds in the states have any advanced
1:09:14
Speaker 9: degree programs. So we sent our bets and bright us
1:09:16
Speaker 9: over to Germany to figure out how to put together
1:09:20
Speaker 9: master's degrees PhD degrees. And the first thing they learned
1:09:23
Speaker 9: is your rights are not given to you by God.
1:09:26
Speaker 9: Forget about what your founder said. Your rights come from government.
1:09:30
Speaker 9: They come back home, they start universities like Columbia and
1:09:35
Speaker 9: other major start getting involved in the Ivy League, and
1:09:38
Speaker 9: pretty soon the Woodrow Wilson administration sees them, pulls them
1:09:42
Speaker 9: into government, and now we have government by experts. All
1:09:45
Speaker 9: these federal departments, Department of Treasury being one of them,
1:09:49
Speaker 9: gets put together where we no longer want a government
1:09:52
Speaker 9: run by the people for the people of the people,
1:09:54
Speaker 9: but government by experts steeped in Marxism coming out of Germany,
1:09:59
Speaker 9: and they the turn of the early late eighteen hundreds,
1:10:02
Speaker 9: early nineteen hundreds. And I just listened to a book
1:10:05
Speaker 9: about the Battle of Breton Woods on a long drive yesterday,
1:10:09
Speaker 9: and I talked about two economic two to two economists.
1:10:13
Speaker 9: John Keynes, the father of Kingsian economics, British genius but
1:10:19
Speaker 9: kind of a weird guy. And then we had the
1:10:21
Speaker 9: American who I thought was going to be our hero,
1:10:23
Speaker 9: which was Harry White. Kingsian had said that whenever we
1:10:27
Speaker 9: get into this huge supply demand imbalances in a country,
1:10:30
Speaker 9: you need to have a centralized world bank. I said, oh, okay,
1:10:33
Speaker 9: there's the communist, our guys, the hero. No, Harry White
1:10:36
Speaker 9: was working with the communists as the Communist agent turns out,
1:10:40
Speaker 9: and his ideas were communists. So we had commi on
1:10:43
Speaker 9: Kami coming up with this idea of a World Bank
1:10:45
Speaker 9: in which is now like the World Bank as we
1:10:48
Speaker 9: know it International Monetary Fund. They control the fluctuations with currency,
1:10:55
Speaker 9: and it was all right there. I think by the
1:10:57
Speaker 9: time McCarthy came along, I think communism had already been
1:11:00
Speaker 9: in this country for ten, for three decades, for thirty
1:11:04
Speaker 9: forty years.
1:11:05
Speaker 3: Yeah. But I mean the weird thing about that is,
1:11:07
Speaker 3: you know, the American people voted for Woodrow Wilson. They
1:11:11
Speaker 3: were sold on his policies as being the right thing.
1:11:14
Speaker 3: So after a debate and a discussion and weighing the
1:11:17
Speaker 3: options with candidates, the American people decided they were going
1:11:20
Speaker 3: to go well, lean toward communism or socialism. Under Woodrow Wilson, it.
1:11:24
Speaker 9: Was Great Depression. Whenever it was, they gave up on
1:11:28
Speaker 9: the idea or that they didn't understand that the root
1:11:31
Speaker 9: cause of the Great Depression. They thought it was capitalism
1:11:33
Speaker 9: when it was not. I think they would have dug
1:11:36
Speaker 9: into that. But then again, what a communists are great
1:11:38
Speaker 9: at marketing. So if in they sell fear, whether you're
1:11:42
Speaker 9: a labor union or whether you are a Democrat, what
1:11:47
Speaker 9: a communist will do is tell you that, you know,
1:11:49
Speaker 9: like global warming, it's something big and scary out there,
1:11:52
Speaker 9: and only we have the solution. It works many many times.
1:11:56
Speaker 9: It's the only reason people give up their freedom for
1:12:00
Speaker 9: tyranny out of fear. His Benjamin Franklin said, those who
1:12:04
Speaker 9: trade liberty for security will have neither. And with that,
1:12:08
Speaker 9: I'll say McCarthy was right. Don't vote Democrat, don't vote Rhino.
1:12:13
Speaker 3: Have a good day, Brian, Yeah, you too. You know
1:12:16
Speaker 3: you're right by understanding the market crash because of the
1:12:19
Speaker 3: way the trading rules were, he didn't have to have
1:12:20
Speaker 3: any money to back your stock purchases, and people got
1:12:23
Speaker 3: leverage to the nose, and the stock market became overly
1:12:25
Speaker 3: exuberant because everybody and his brother was making heap loads
1:12:27
Speaker 3: of money on it, but was built on a house
1:12:30
Speaker 3: of cards.
1:12:31
Speaker 6: You know.
1:12:31
Speaker 3: It's kind of insurance reserves. You have to have a
1:12:33
Speaker 3: certain amount of money in your insurance company, literally physically
1:12:36
Speaker 3: sitting on a pile of cash to cover claims, and
1:12:38
Speaker 3: it has to be a certain percentage of your overall exposure.
1:12:41
Speaker 3: If you don't have that money set aside, and there's
1:12:44
Speaker 3: like maybe like a natural disaster or something hits hard
1:12:46
Speaker 3: on the insurance company, they're not gonna be able to
1:12:47
Speaker 3: pay the claims. So you avoid that problem by forcing
1:12:50
Speaker 3: them to acticually finance it. Same thing, if you're going
1:12:52
Speaker 3: to buy something, you better have the money to buy it.
1:12:54
Speaker 3: That's my minimalist understanding of the market. Isn't the capitalist system,
1:13:00
Speaker 3: it's how the game was played that led to the
1:13:02
Speaker 3: collapse anyway. Putting over to I'll look who's on the
1:13:05
Speaker 3: phone former Anderson Township TRUSTe Drew Pappis, mister Pappus, mister Pappis,
1:13:09
Speaker 3: welcome back, my friend. Always love hearing from.
1:13:10
Speaker 10: You, mister Thomas.
1:13:12
Speaker 2: I didn't realize there was such formal, uh formal.
1:13:15
Speaker 10: Putting this morning.
1:13:16
Speaker 3: Yeah you said that last time I called you, mister Pappus,
1:13:18
Speaker 3: that's why I did it again. Anie Drew. What's on
1:13:21
Speaker 3: your mind today, my friend?
1:13:22
Speaker 2: Well, a couple of things. First of all, Jay, great call,
1:13:25
Speaker 2: listen you know and you're you're you're reporting this morning
1:13:29
Speaker 2: on on communism and Democrats socialists has been outstanding. And
1:13:35
Speaker 2: there's a very simple thing you can. You can get upset,
1:13:37
Speaker 2: and that's not why I called, but I just want
1:13:39
Speaker 2: to mention this. You can votes out there, can get upset,
1:13:41
Speaker 2: but more and I am as as everyone should be.
1:13:45
Speaker 2: But a more effective thing is make sure that every
1:13:48
Speaker 2: single human being that you know and you're in your
1:13:51
Speaker 2: little universe registers and votes this next election cycle. And
1:13:55
Speaker 2: that's that's just pure and simple. If we get out
1:13:58
Speaker 2: the vote, If if the common man gets out the vote,
1:14:02
Speaker 2: you know, the people that get upset but then don't
1:14:05
Speaker 2: vote continue down that road, then the Left wins. But
1:14:10
Speaker 2: get engaged, get registered, and get everybody you know out
1:14:14
Speaker 2: to vote this next election cycle.
1:14:16
Speaker 7: That's my opinion.
1:14:17
Speaker 2: Secondly, my heart, my soul is actually really this was
1:14:22
Speaker 2: a tough weekend given the news cycle regarding violence against children,
1:14:28
Speaker 2: especially in our area, and I was brought back to
1:14:33
Speaker 2: it was twenty years ago. That's something similar without the
1:14:40
Speaker 2: sexuality of the perpetrators or alleged perpetrators brought into it
1:14:46
Speaker 2: something very similar to twenty years ago we experienced when
1:14:50
Speaker 2: we searched out here in Anderson Township and on the
1:14:52
Speaker 2: east side from Marcus Beisel. If you remember that twenty
1:14:56
Speaker 2: it was twenty years ago. And the one thing that
1:15:00
Speaker 2: has popped out, which this this news story just absolutely
1:15:04
Speaker 2: sickens me.
1:15:04
Speaker 6: But what sickens me.
1:15:06
Speaker 2: Even worse is the fact that it's being the the
1:15:09
Speaker 2: the the the way the local media, every single one
1:15:14
Speaker 2: of them, almost to a station, is doing mental Jenga
1:15:19
Speaker 2: to not point out that it was two men and
1:15:22
Speaker 2: one women that perpetrated this thing and or allegedly and
1:15:27
Speaker 2: abuse this poor child and have referred constantly, and all
1:15:31
Speaker 2: it is doing is keeping the narrative alive and the
1:15:34
Speaker 2: story alive, and the mainstream, especially on social media. The
1:15:39
Speaker 2: fact that they refer to them as three women, the
1:15:42
Speaker 2: fact that they refer to them now as a person.
1:15:46
Speaker 2: You know, we when there are certain truths in this
1:15:50
Speaker 2: universe that are that are you know, not acknowledged, then
1:15:55
Speaker 2: how do you how do you build upon that? So
1:15:57
Speaker 2: when you tear down the basic truths the universe that
1:16:01
Speaker 2: there are men and women starting there and everything.
1:16:05
Speaker 10: Else is just you know what is truth? After that,
1:16:08
Speaker 10: you see what I'm saying.
1:16:09
Speaker 3: Yes I do, I do, and you know your comment
1:16:12
Speaker 3: swirl around the reporting along this seven year old boy
1:16:14
Speaker 3: who was found beat to death and dead in a
1:16:16
Speaker 3: closet in Oakley. All of the local reporting, they seem
1:16:22
Speaker 3: to be struggling with the appropriate pronouns. Some use they
1:16:24
Speaker 3: to refer to a singular individual, some of them refer
1:16:27
Speaker 3: to what appear to be women as he. They're designated
1:16:30
Speaker 3: pronouns who brought us this insanity, this absurdity going back
1:16:34
Speaker 3: to the Democrats, socialists of America and their leanings and
1:16:37
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party generally speaking, Which political party adopted this
1:16:41
Speaker 3: insanity that I can just say what I am and
1:16:44
Speaker 3: everybody's supposed to accept that I actually have changed my
1:16:47
Speaker 3: gender merely by an utterance that the Republican Party and.
1:16:50
Speaker 2: The Democrats, and it's the Democrats. The funniest thing of
1:16:54
Speaker 2: all is it shows. It shows when I love hearing
1:16:58
Speaker 2: from it. There used to be a media expert on
1:16:59
Speaker 2: my feed, but I had to block him because he
1:17:01
Speaker 2: was getting just just too too painful to listen to.
1:17:05
Speaker 2: But the simple fact of the matter is it just
1:17:08
Speaker 2: demonstrates blatantly the inherent biases that the news media has
1:17:14
Speaker 2: when they can't even report the news, the factual news,
1:17:18
Speaker 2: they bend over forwards. You know, this poor child was
1:17:22
Speaker 2: reportedly tortured and killed. Yes, and we're more concerned about
1:17:26
Speaker 2: the news media at least is more concerned about making
1:17:29
Speaker 2: sure they get the preferred pronouns correct in the reporting
1:17:33
Speaker 2: of the alleged perpetrators.
1:17:35
Speaker 3: Makes me ill.
1:17:37
Speaker 2: Yes, I almost I almost flipped.
1:17:39
Speaker 3: Up that I was reaching for the dumb button I
1:17:41
Speaker 3: had my hand on.
1:17:42
Speaker 10: It was.
1:17:43
Speaker 2: I was almost messed up there. But I mean, really,
1:17:45
Speaker 2: that's where we're at in America.
1:17:47
Speaker 10: That's where we're at.
1:17:48
Speaker 2: And the news media'll look at you and they'll say, oh,
1:17:51
Speaker 2: we're right down the middle. We're not biased, we're not
1:17:54
Speaker 2: we don't have inherent biases. Really, is that true? No,
1:17:59
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's not. So, you know, I just it
1:18:04
Speaker 2: was a tough weekend, like I said, and it just
1:18:09
Speaker 2: hurts my heart. And uh it brought back up Marcus
1:18:12
Speaker 2: Faisel just right front and center, because this community turned
1:18:16
Speaker 2: out and searched every inch of ground out here to
1:18:19
Speaker 2: try to find that poor young child and ended up
1:18:21
Speaker 2: being a you know, this a similar situation where where
1:18:25
Speaker 2: the parents were or the keepers, where the perpetrators were
1:18:29
Speaker 2: were his family so.
1:18:33
Speaker 3: Heartbreaking, truly, I can't believe twenty years had passed since
1:18:36
Speaker 3: that case was in that I.
1:18:37
Speaker 2: Now it goes by so fast.
1:18:39
Speaker 6: Twenty years, twenty yo.
1:18:42
Speaker 2: How little has changed, How little has changed other than
1:18:45
Speaker 2: the fact that our media, our local media, instead of
1:18:48
Speaker 2: focusing on the criminals and expressing, you know, and and
1:18:53
Speaker 2: trying to see what the anyway to prevent this, we're
1:18:57
Speaker 2: more concerned about making sure the alleged perpetrators are pronounced
1:19:02
Speaker 2: correctly in the media.
1:19:03
Speaker 6: It makes me sick.
1:19:04
Speaker 3: And the concept underlying that is again another reason to
1:19:07
Speaker 3: vote Republican and not Democrats. As the Republicans understand, there's
1:19:11
Speaker 3: a difference between genders, and you can't just declare yourself
1:19:13
Speaker 3: to be a different gender, don't go. I appreciate Drew
1:19:16
Speaker 3: very much. Seven to seventeen Christopher Smithman waiting in the
1:19:18
Speaker 3: winnings for the smither vent first though for more than
1:19:20
Speaker 3: eighty years. Congratulations at Chris simmer He is the proud two.
1:19:25
Speaker 3: Happy Monday. It's that time of week we get the
1:19:27
Speaker 3: benefit of the former Vice mayor of the City of
1:19:28
Speaker 3: Cincinnati's Words of Wisdom Christopher Smithman for the Christopher smither Van.
1:19:32
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Christopher, my dear friends. Great having you on
1:19:34
Speaker 3: as always.
1:19:36
Speaker 1: Oh thanks for having me on. Brian, I tell you
1:19:41
Speaker 1: I see in the news there's going to be a
1:19:44
Speaker 1: coup of angles. Just brought a drive by shooting this
1:19:47
Speaker 1: morning at three am in the West End.
1:19:50
Speaker 10: Three a m.
1:19:51
Speaker 1: You have a drive by in the West End. Now,
1:19:54
Speaker 1: there's so many moving parts to that. One is just
1:19:57
Speaker 1: basic safety because you're spraying bullets out of a car,
1:20:01
Speaker 1: so anybody can get hurt. That is that is so crazy.
1:20:06
Speaker 1: The second part about that is that it's so underreported,
1:20:11
Speaker 1: so you gotta search for it if Fox nineteen doesn't
1:20:15
Speaker 1: report it. Brian Thomas, I have seen this, this movement
1:20:20
Speaker 1: where Fox nineteen reports it, then it takes a while,
1:20:25
Speaker 1: then maybe you'll see twelve and then five and nine
1:20:29
Speaker 1: are kind of like, we don't report it at all,
1:20:31
Speaker 1: or we're blocking it out. It's there is a movement,
1:20:35
Speaker 1: and I think it's coming from the Mayor's office trying
1:20:38
Speaker 1: to put pressure on these newsrooms, these editorial boards to
1:20:44
Speaker 1: not report the crime that it's happening in Cincinnati, and
1:20:48
Speaker 1: it's absolutely crazy. Having been the vice mayor of the city,
1:20:52
Speaker 1: I can see it. I can see this underreporting pattern.
1:20:56
Speaker 1: But I'm going to tell you, dude, drive by shooting
1:21:00
Speaker 1: at three am in the morning. The mayor cannot continue
1:21:03
Speaker 1: to tell Cincinnatians that Cincinnati is safe.
1:21:07
Speaker 6: It's just not. And you and I know most likely
1:21:11
Speaker 6: the shooters were Black Americans. And for someone to.
1:21:15
Speaker 1: Say that, oh man, you're a racist, or or you're
1:21:19
Speaker 1: an Uncle Tom, or you're listen. We have got to
1:21:22
Speaker 1: begin to deal with why this violence at the root
1:21:27
Speaker 1: is happening now. One of those reasons, Brian Thomas, is
1:21:31
Speaker 1: that Cincinnati will not enforce the law.
1:21:34
Speaker 6: So you capture somebody, you put them in.
1:21:38
Speaker 1: Jail, and you let them out on Monday. You arrest
1:21:41
Speaker 1: them on Friday, they're out on Monday. They had a gun,
1:21:43
Speaker 1: they shot at somebody, or they have no bill at all.
1:21:46
Speaker 1: This parah fives black communities because you know this is
1:21:52
Speaker 1: a shooter, you know that they were involved in a shooting.
1:21:56
Speaker 1: You know they say if you tell somebody something, you're gonna.
1:21:59
Speaker 6: Get stitches, and the court system just lets them.
1:22:02
Speaker 1: Right back out into the community. I don't understand what's
1:22:05
Speaker 1: happening with our judges. I don't know what is going
1:22:08
Speaker 1: on and why they're making these decisions. But these are
1:22:11
Speaker 1: people who are continuing over and over again, the same shooters,
1:22:17
Speaker 1: the same group of people, and they continue to just
1:22:20
Speaker 1: commit crimes over and over and over again. Brian, Cincinnati
1:22:23
Speaker 1: is not safe. I have no confidence in our mayor.
1:22:28
Speaker 1: I have very little confidence collectively in the city council
1:22:34
Speaker 1: right and it's just because they continue to ignore the
1:22:37
Speaker 1: big problem is how do they keep our fifty two
1:22:40
Speaker 1: neighborhoods safe?
1:22:41
Speaker 10: Bryan Thomas, We'll.
1:22:43
Speaker 3: Bring Christopher Smithvan back more of smither event this Monday.
1:22:46
Speaker 3: It's seven twenty six right now, fifty five KR s
1:22:48
Speaker 3: the talk station. Well, I get to mention Gabe the
1:22:50
Speaker 3: talk station seven thirty fifty five KR City talk station,
1:22:55
Speaker 3: and it's Monday, which means we're in the middle of
1:22:56
Speaker 3: the smither Van former vice mayor of the city since
1:22:58
Speaker 3: Santi Christopher Smithvan joins a pro every Monday talk about
1:23:01
Speaker 3: stuff and things and started out about violence. Christopher more
1:23:05
Speaker 3: on that or we're gonna pivot over at this point,
1:23:08
Speaker 3: We're gonna pivot hivot. Look, I.
1:23:12
Speaker 6: Feel really bad for the neighborhoods, that their basements are
1:23:16
Speaker 6: flooding out, their businesses are flooding out. There's so much
1:23:22
Speaker 6: uncertainty every time it rains. Your Top of the Hour
1:23:27
Speaker 6: story was just a great lead in. You were talking
1:23:30
Speaker 6: about possible rain today, possible rain tomorrow, maybe no rain
1:23:34
Speaker 6: on Wednesday, but nobody really knows.
1:23:37
Speaker 3: The reality of.
1:23:38
Speaker 1: It is that our infrastructure in Cincinnati is not well
1:23:46
Speaker 1: and we were told that selling the railroad for one
1:23:49
Speaker 1: point six billion would fix all of this, almost like
1:23:53
Speaker 1: a wand we fix it, and that we would have
1:23:56
Speaker 1: dollars for infrastructure, which is a part of this conversation.
1:24:01
Speaker 1: But another part of.
1:24:02
Speaker 6: This conversation is that elections do have consequences, and that.
1:24:09
Speaker 1: If you look at many of these neighborhoods and you
1:24:12
Speaker 1: ask who did they vote for, that's a fair question,
1:24:18
Speaker 1: who did you select as your representative. This doesn't mean
1:24:23
Speaker 1: I do not have great empathy, but I want to
1:24:26
Speaker 1: be clear. If they don't change direction, if they come
1:24:29
Speaker 1: back and vote in these same neighborhoods for the exact
1:24:33
Speaker 1: same people, then they're going to continue to get flooded.
1:24:37
Speaker 6: Basements, flooded businesses, flooded streets, and no response from council.
1:24:44
Speaker 6: Is that a fair assessment, Brian Thomas.
1:24:46
Speaker 3: Well, I think it is, But I keep going back
1:24:48
Speaker 3: to the fact that only one in four registered voters
1:24:51
Speaker 3: in the city even bothered to vote. I mean, not
1:24:55
Speaker 3: voting is the same as voting for the status quo?
1:24:57
Speaker 3: Are you happy with the situation? And Downtown down said,
1:25:00
Speaker 3: you know, ask anybody. I mean, you go around the
1:25:03
Speaker 3: various different neighborhoods, You're in touch with the people, You
1:25:05
Speaker 3: get your you know, fingers on the pulse of the
1:25:06
Speaker 3: city of Cincinnati, Christopher far more than I do. People
1:25:09
Speaker 3: want saved communities. People are not interested in getting rid
1:25:12
Speaker 3: of the police, locksknock and barrel. People are interested in
1:25:14
Speaker 3: having the roads paved, fix the damn potholes, says so
1:25:17
Speaker 3: many people. Is that happening? No, then ask them rather
1:25:20
Speaker 3: than who did they vote for? Did they even bother
1:25:23
Speaker 3: to go vote? Therein is a challenge. You can't get
1:25:26
Speaker 3: people to the polls. We face a huge hurdle on
1:25:28
Speaker 3: that in this November.
1:25:30
Speaker 6: I think that's it. I think that's absolutely true. Right.
1:25:34
Speaker 1: However, those people who did vote in some of these
1:25:39
Speaker 1: neighborhoods that I see going to city Hall right.
1:25:41
Speaker 6: Now they're asking I would like representation, is what they're saying.
1:25:46
Speaker 1: I need help, right, But they also don't take that step.
1:25:49
Speaker 1: Eighty five percent of you voted for this mayor, eighty
1:25:53
Speaker 1: five or eighty percent of you voted.
1:25:55
Speaker 6: For this council.
1:25:57
Speaker 1: So the next year, in twenty twenty seven, when city
1:26:00
Speaker 1: council is up for election, do you or I expect
1:26:04
Speaker 1: the neighborhoods that are complaining right now about their basement flooding,
1:26:09
Speaker 1: about their businesses flooding out.
1:26:11
Speaker 6: Are they going to do anything different? I say they're not.
1:26:14
Speaker 1: I say they go back those twenty percent that vote,
1:26:18
Speaker 1: those twenty five percent, the seventy five percent that are
1:26:20
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, that's horrible. But the twenty five percent
1:26:24
Speaker 1: that do show up, I suggest to the public they're
1:26:27
Speaker 1: going to continue to vote in the same direction. Therefore,
1:26:31
Speaker 1: it becomes harder to have that empathy for them right
1:26:36
Speaker 1: as their basements and as their businesses flood out, because
1:26:41
Speaker 1: you're going to have to do something different.
1:26:44
Speaker 6: If a congressman, former Congressman.
1:26:46
Speaker 1: Brad Winstrop said he was going to run for mayor
1:26:48
Speaker 1: or he was going to run for city council, would
1:26:51
Speaker 1: you vote for you?
1:26:52
Speaker 6: I would mean I'm saying, yeah, I'm not saying he
1:26:55
Speaker 6: wants to run if he's listening to this, I'm not
1:26:58
Speaker 6: suggesting that.
1:26:59
Speaker 1: I'm saying there are qualify people out there who will
1:27:02
Speaker 1: be on the ballot. I am always just perplexed by
1:27:07
Speaker 1: how these neighborhoods continue.
1:27:08
Speaker 6: To vote for the same people.
1:27:11
Speaker 3: It is unbelievably frustrating. Christopher, And how many years have
1:27:15
Speaker 3: the Democrats been can control of downtown Cincinnati politically.
1:27:19
Speaker 6: Over fifty years?
1:27:20
Speaker 3: And how my entire life and what's the backlog on
1:27:24
Speaker 3: projects that need to be completed, in other words, existing
1:27:27
Speaker 3: infrastructure deteriorating that they've ignored for years and years and years,
1:27:31
Speaker 3: these same Democrats, who are you know, getting voted in
1:27:34
Speaker 3: time and time again. Have your roads been paid? I
1:27:36
Speaker 3: think the answer is pretty clearly no across the board
1:27:38
Speaker 3: for decades now.
1:27:41
Speaker 14: No.
1:27:41
Speaker 1: I mean most people who drive through Cincinnati. If you're
1:27:44
Speaker 1: coming from another state and you come into Cincinnati, you
1:27:47
Speaker 1: know you're in Cincinnati because you're dodging potholes, you know.
1:27:52
Speaker 1: And so that's the problem. The basics Brian Thomas aren't
1:27:56
Speaker 1: being taken care of. But yet the electric can she
1:28:00
Speaker 1: used to vote for the same people. We have an
1:28:02
Speaker 1: election in November, and I hope to talk about that
1:28:05
Speaker 1: in the next segment. Are we going to do something different?
1:28:08
Speaker 1: Are we going to continue to vote in the same direction?
1:28:10
Speaker 1: I say we do something different?
1:28:12
Speaker 3: Well, hear what difference is in the mind of Christopher
1:28:14
Speaker 3: smith Aman. Next, don't go way. I want to remind
1:28:16
Speaker 3: you that well the number one dealer in Penn seven
1:28:22
Speaker 3: here at fifty five KRC detalk station Bright Thomas with
1:28:25
Speaker 3: Christopher Smitheman join the Smith Van. Christopher, is you close
1:28:29
Speaker 3: out the segment? You said you think we need to
1:28:30
Speaker 3: go in a different direction, and you're on board for
1:28:32
Speaker 3: a different direction. What does different direction mean for you?
1:28:34
Speaker 3: Christopher in that context?
1:28:36
Speaker 1: Well, I'm supporting the vik Ramaswami for governor and I
1:28:40
Speaker 1: can't even believe the race is even close, I know,
1:28:44
Speaker 1: based on what's on the other side. And so the
1:28:47
Speaker 1: Fauci testimony has everything to do with the gubernatorial race
1:28:50
Speaker 1: in Ohio because Amy Atkin was that person right who
1:28:55
Speaker 1: impacted so many businesses with her science, as she indicated
1:29:00
Speaker 1: driven decisions or recommendations that hurt so many different businesses
1:29:07
Speaker 1: and school systems across the.
1:29:09
Speaker 6: State of Ohio. But I want to focus in a
1:29:13
Speaker 6: little bit here.
1:29:14
Speaker 1: I don't talk a lot about and I don't think
1:29:16
Speaker 1: this is a bad thing, but I think it's true.
1:29:19
Speaker 1: Is David Pepper running for lieutenant governor on that ticket,
1:29:23
Speaker 1: and so I hear all this stuff about you know,
1:29:25
Speaker 1: the zak Ramaswami and he's a business guy and his
1:29:28
Speaker 1: money and all that kind of stuff, and they're acting.
1:29:31
Speaker 6: As if David Pepper doesn't have all that money.
1:29:34
Speaker 1: We're talking about the son of the former CEO of
1:29:38
Speaker 1: Procter and Gamble, former board member of Disney. I mean,
1:29:42
Speaker 1: this is a very wealthy man, and there's nothing wrong
1:29:46
Speaker 1: with that success David Pepper. What I need David Pepper
1:29:49
Speaker 1: to do is to own it. Stop walking around as
1:29:52
Speaker 1: a Democrat acting like you came from poverty, and you didn't.
1:29:56
Speaker 1: If you went to Summit Country Day, own it. If
1:29:58
Speaker 1: you went to Yale own it, if you went to Harvard,
1:30:01
Speaker 1: own it. This is what bothers me. But then don't
1:30:04
Speaker 1: lecture me on public education. Don't lecture me on what
1:30:08
Speaker 1: public education needs to do when you have no understanding
1:30:12
Speaker 1: of it. You spent your whole life avoiding it. You
1:30:14
Speaker 1: were able to buy your way out of it. And
1:30:16
Speaker 1: so that ticket over there is very interesting because you
1:30:19
Speaker 1: got Amy Action at the top, and then you've got
1:30:22
Speaker 1: David Pepper, and the Democrats are always hiding that they
1:30:26
Speaker 1: have really somebody, one hundred million dollar guy who's running
1:30:30
Speaker 1: for the lieutenant governor for the state of Ohio. Very
1:30:33
Speaker 1: successful father. I'm very happy of capitalism, but I need
1:30:38
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party to start owning it. Stop being hypocrites
1:30:41
Speaker 1: and acting like we don't know that David Pepper came
1:30:44
Speaker 1: from a capitalist background, benefited from that from America. But
1:30:50
Speaker 1: if you listen to his commentary, sometimes it sounds like
1:30:54
Speaker 1: he doesn't love the country that made him so wealthy.
1:30:58
Speaker 3: That's because the Democrats are wed we a class warfare,
1:31:01
Speaker 3: and you know, he's not the only one he's really
1:31:03
Speaker 3: wealthy running for you know, high office. In them, among
1:31:05
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party, it's an uncomfortable position they find themselves
1:31:09
Speaker 3: in because it literally does fly in the face of
1:31:10
Speaker 3: their narrative, which is capitalism is bad and it doesn't
1:31:13
Speaker 3: do anything but harm for the world. And here they
1:31:15
Speaker 3: have candidates who've been benefiting their entire lives from capitalism
1:31:18
Speaker 3: and wildly successful they are, and they try to hide
1:31:21
Speaker 3: from it. It's almost like they're on the Democrats side
1:31:23
Speaker 3: of this and arguing this socialist mantra, the the class
1:31:26
Speaker 3: warfare mantra, because they're guilty about the success capitalisms brought him. Christopher.
1:31:32
Speaker 6: Yes, And if you ask Democrats about David Pepper, they
1:31:36
Speaker 6: will tell you either they don't know him across the
1:31:38
Speaker 6: state of Ohio, or they certainly don't know that he's
1:31:41
Speaker 6: one hundred million dollar man.
1:31:43
Speaker 10: Right.
1:31:43
Speaker 6: They hide it, like you said, And that's true.
1:31:46
Speaker 1: If David Pepper is he's if he's listening, or anybody
1:31:48
Speaker 1: on that ticket is listening, they're not going to call
1:31:51
Speaker 1: it and say, well, what Smitherman is saying isn't true.
1:31:53
Speaker 10: Right?
1:31:54
Speaker 1: Most likely, Right, his family has a massive trust. Most
1:31:58
Speaker 1: likely they have a very aggressive tax accountant that takes
1:32:04
Speaker 1: full advantage of every loophole that Trump President Trump takes
1:32:08
Speaker 1: advantage of. These are the people in the same bucket.
1:32:11
Speaker 1: This is what I'm trying to say, The same loopholes
1:32:14
Speaker 1: that they complain about about President Trump.
1:32:17
Speaker 6: Right, David Pepper is using those same loopholes to avoid
1:32:21
Speaker 6: the state taxes.
1:32:22
Speaker 1: Whether it's a second to die policy, whether it's an
1:32:24
Speaker 1: elaborate trust, whether it's putting money offshore, whether it's putting
1:32:29
Speaker 1: money in a different state. I guarantee you they are
1:32:32
Speaker 1: using every single legal way to avoid the taxation of
1:32:37
Speaker 1: that estate.
1:32:37
Speaker 3: And you just pointed out the point I was going
1:32:39
Speaker 3: to make, every single legal way what they are doing.
1:32:43
Speaker 3: And I'm sure you're right and accurate about them taking
1:32:46
Speaker 3: advantage of the way the laws are written. The laws
1:32:48
Speaker 3: are written that way, and I don't want to call
1:32:50
Speaker 3: them a loophole, because loophole suggests that, whoops, we made
1:32:52
Speaker 3: a mistake and we gave people an option that we
1:32:55
Speaker 3: really didn't intend. I think the tax laws are designed
1:32:58
Speaker 3: to intend exactly what you're talking about. Maybe they're designed
1:33:01
Speaker 3: for rich people, maybe they were designed for maser massive corporations.
1:33:04
Speaker 3: Who knows, But ultimately the laws were written as they
1:33:07
Speaker 3: were written, and it shouldn't surprise anybody. And you'll be
1:33:10
Speaker 3: an idiot not to take advantage of something if it's
1:33:12
Speaker 3: going to inure to your financial benefit. Have those loopholes,
1:33:16
Speaker 3: as you like to call them, been changed. Have there
1:33:18
Speaker 3: been the efforts to transform the taxation system and get
1:33:21
Speaker 3: rid of all those options. I don't see any Christopher.
1:33:24
Speaker 3: I don't hear the Democrats clamoring over it. It isn't
1:33:26
Speaker 3: a policy platform for the Democrats Socialist of America. Their
1:33:28
Speaker 3: only policy platform is to increase taxes on whoever they
1:33:32
Speaker 3: determine is quote unquote rich.
1:33:35
Speaker 1: First of all, I agree with you, I should not
1:33:37
Speaker 1: use the language of loophole. You're absolutely right. These are
1:33:41
Speaker 1: legal ways for people.
1:33:43
Speaker 3: To lower their tax at.
1:33:48
Speaker 1: Meaning the question about estate taxes and death taxes. Right,
1:33:52
Speaker 1: all of us rights who have large estates want to
1:33:56
Speaker 1: avoid the death tax or the estate tax.
1:33:59
Speaker 6: I'm suggest asking to you that there's nothing really different
1:34:03
Speaker 6: than what David Pepper and his family is doing. And
1:34:06
Speaker 6: the vek Ramaswami. I'm tired of the Democrats hiding their billionaires,
1:34:11
Speaker 6: hiding their one hundred million dollar people running them for
1:34:15
Speaker 6: office as if they are.
1:34:17
Speaker 1: They are poverty stricken, and they are not. And that's
1:34:21
Speaker 1: all I'm saying, because I constantly hear Democrats go the
1:34:24
Speaker 1: vek Ramaswami is he's a successful business guy who made
1:34:27
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and therefore that's the guy that
1:34:30
Speaker 1: I want at the top of the ticket, right because
1:34:32
Speaker 1: he's going to be able to help recruit businesses to Ohio.
1:34:37
Speaker 1: He's going to he understands the tax law right, he
1:34:40
Speaker 1: can look at our government and say, how do we
1:34:42
Speaker 1: streamline it. I want a guy who has a business
1:34:46
Speaker 1: background running the state of Ohio.
1:34:49
Speaker 6: That's a good thing.
1:34:50
Speaker 1: And the Democrats try to make it out to be
1:34:52
Speaker 1: bad while they're running a lieutenant governor who's one hundred
1:34:55
Speaker 1: million dollar guy.
1:34:57
Speaker 6: This is what just blows me away. And they resent
1:35:00
Speaker 6: themselves as this. Sometimes they don't.
1:35:02
Speaker 1: Even like our country, meaning all these socialists Brian Thomas
1:35:05
Speaker 1: that are being elected, right, You and I are watching
1:35:08
Speaker 1: it up this wave. The Democrats are trying to go like, well,
1:35:11
Speaker 1: what's going on, what's going on, what's happening.
1:35:14
Speaker 6: This is your base.
1:35:16
Speaker 1: Your base are communists and socialists, and they are being elected,
1:35:21
Speaker 1: whether they're being elected in Michigan or whether they're being
1:35:24
Speaker 1: elected in the state of Wisconsin like tomorrow's primary. They
1:35:28
Speaker 1: are being elected. And the Democrats are going to have
1:35:31
Speaker 1: to own it, including David Pepper and Amy Akin. This
1:35:34
Speaker 1: is what scares me. It scares me that we have
1:35:37
Speaker 1: an election in November, right, and the vek Ramaswami doesn't
1:35:41
Speaker 1: win and our state starts looking like Virginia because they
1:35:45
Speaker 1: had a choice, they had a choice, and Barack Obama,
1:35:49
Speaker 1: who told us vote for Kamala because she was black.
1:35:54
Speaker 6: Only vote for Kamala Harris because she was black.
1:35:57
Speaker 1: Right, then went to Virginia and said, vote for the
1:36:00
Speaker 1: white woman who was running for governor there, and look
1:36:04
Speaker 1: at what we got, meaning we had a choice to
1:36:07
Speaker 1: elect the first African American or our black American or whatever.
1:36:11
Speaker 1: However she defines herself a military vet in Virginia, and
1:36:15
Speaker 1: we failed to do that because Barack Obama went there
1:36:18
Speaker 1: and played identity politics in around the country with Kamala Harris,
1:36:23
Speaker 1: but went to Virginia and said, do not vote.
1:36:25
Speaker 3: For this black woman.
1:36:26
Speaker 6: She's a Republican. I'm tired of the identity politics that.
1:36:31
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party pushes when it is convenient for them,
1:36:36
Speaker 1: when they are pushing a narrative, and I'm watching it
1:36:38
Speaker 1: in Ohio. When they pick a lieutenant governor like David
1:36:41
Speaker 1: Pepper whose family is very very very very very very
1:36:46
Speaker 1: very very very wealthy, I'm happy for them. I am
1:36:49
Speaker 1: glad they have benefited from the capitalist society. But please
1:36:53
Speaker 1: stop trying to pimp out the Democratic base by acting
1:36:58
Speaker 1: as if you're broke or that you didn't come from wealth,
1:37:01
Speaker 1: or that you don't have a lot of money. Right now,
1:37:03
Speaker 1: that is what bothers me as the Vick Ramaswami I
1:37:06
Speaker 1: think will be the next governor of the State of Ohio.
1:37:10
Speaker 3: Oh I pray for that out come, you know, and
1:37:12
Speaker 3: think about I Vivic Ramaswami was able to make all
1:37:14
Speaker 3: that wealth in the state of Ohio in spite of
1:37:16
Speaker 3: all the regulatory and burdensome nature of doing business in Ohio.
1:37:21
Speaker 3: He was still able to successfully do it. That's what
1:37:24
Speaker 3: makes him great because while it was challenging under the
1:37:27
Speaker 3: circumstances he built his businesses with. He wants to get
1:37:30
Speaker 3: rid of those challenges, to make it easier for others
1:37:32
Speaker 3: to have successful business here that lure from other states.
1:37:36
Speaker 3: It's better here. The business climate is going to be
1:37:39
Speaker 3: better under Ramaswami. Or look here, I've changed these impediments
1:37:43
Speaker 3: that we all knew about I dealt with. I mean,
1:37:45
Speaker 3: that's the kind of thing we need to have accomplished here.
1:37:47
Speaker 3: But that he was successful, I think speaks volume to
1:37:50
Speaker 3: his ability to run the state of Ohio as opposed
1:37:52
Speaker 3: to any acton who doesn't even really seem to have
1:37:54
Speaker 3: much of a medical background.
1:37:56
Speaker 10: Right.
1:37:59
Speaker 1: It is so that Democrats are basically saying, right, no
1:38:04
Speaker 1: matter who is on the other side, if they have
1:38:07
Speaker 1: a D behind their name, I'm going to vote for them. Yes,
1:38:09
Speaker 1: I'm asking specifically, I'm going to play some identity politics.
1:38:13
Speaker 1: I'm asking Black Americans. I am a Black American. I'm
1:38:17
Speaker 1: asking Black Americans to really seek do research and figure
1:38:23
Speaker 1: out who both of those people are on the side
1:38:25
Speaker 1: of that ticket.
1:38:26
Speaker 6: Don't just go in and vote for the DED. Don't
1:38:29
Speaker 6: just go vote for the Democrat right, separate yourself. Do
1:38:34
Speaker 6: your research, Black Americans and ask yourself, are these the
1:38:38
Speaker 6: right people for the state of Ohio?
1:38:41
Speaker 1: And I bet you so many of them when they
1:38:43
Speaker 1: do their research and they say, do these people line
1:38:45
Speaker 1: up with my values? For example? Right, does Amy Atkin
1:38:49
Speaker 1: believe right, which she does, even though she's now running
1:38:53
Speaker 1: from it, that men should be able to play against
1:38:56
Speaker 1: women in sports, that men should be able to play
1:38:59
Speaker 1: against girls in sports. I am a supporter of the
1:39:03
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus community. I am a supporter of transgender people.
1:39:09
Speaker 1: I have no problem with any of that.
1:39:11
Speaker 6: But I do have a problem with unfairness and I
1:39:14
Speaker 6: do not want men playing against women or girls in
1:39:19
Speaker 6: their sports.
1:39:20
Speaker 1: Amy Atkin is now trying to reposition herself in the
1:39:24
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. She thought she could just make a comment
1:39:26
Speaker 1: to one of the editorial boards up high in the
1:39:29
Speaker 1: States and kind of whisper that she has a different perspective.
1:39:33
Speaker 6: The reality of it is, if she were elected, girls
1:39:37
Speaker 6: sports would be a jeopardy. Brian Thomas.
1:39:41
Speaker 1: Her position on Title nine would put every girl in
1:39:45
Speaker 1: every female sport. Listen, women in at risk and in trouble.
1:39:50
Speaker 1: I have a girl, I'm a girl. She swim for
1:39:54
Speaker 1: her high school. I don't want men or boys swimming
1:39:58
Speaker 1: against girls in any across the state of Ohio. Amy Akin,
1:40:03
Speaker 1: in my opinion, would put all of Title nine at risk.
1:40:06
Speaker 6: Brian Thomers.
1:40:07
Speaker 3: I think it's full stop exclamation pointing. Put it in
1:40:09
Speaker 3: bold and caps. Christopher Smithman and former vice mayor of
1:40:11
Speaker 3: the City of Cincinnati in venting his spleen always a
1:40:13
Speaker 3: welcome thing here on the fifty five CARC Morning Show. Christopher,
1:40:16
Speaker 3: we'll do it again next Monday. Have a fantastic week
1:40:18
Speaker 3: between now and then.
1:40:19
Speaker 1: And people can and people can follow me on x
1:40:21
Speaker 1: at vote Smitherman.
1:40:23
Speaker 3: Thanks Brian Thomas, Thank you, Christopher Smithman. I'm telling you
1:40:27
Speaker 3: call fast and pro roofing. Have your roof inspected? Yeah,
1:40:29
Speaker 3: I mean, why not, it's free, it doesn't cost anything.
1:40:32
Speaker 3: Pick about KRCD talk station, Happy Monday. I am so
1:40:37
Speaker 3: pleased to welcome to the fifty five CARC Morning Show.
1:40:39
Speaker 3: The one behind one of the people behind the acts
1:40:41
Speaker 3: the tax in Ohio, the Committee to Abolish Ohio Property
1:40:44
Speaker 3: tax put it in a constitutional amendment. They say and say,
1:40:47
Speaker 3: you cannot tax property because, let's face it, you never
1:40:50
Speaker 3: really own your property. They come in, they jack your
1:40:52
Speaker 3: real estate taxes up by thirty percent. One fell souper
1:40:55
Speaker 3: is like, oh my god. I'm a senior on a
1:40:57
Speaker 3: fixed income. I've been here for the last fifty years.
1:40:59
Speaker 3: My house is off, but I can't ford to stay
1:41:01
Speaker 3: here because the dam property tax is too high. Sounds
1:41:03
Speaker 3: like a good response to that, and someone who's behind
1:41:05
Speaker 3: the effort to abolish property taxes in Ohio, Sarah Wolf,
1:41:08
Speaker 3: welcome to the morning show. It's a real pleasure to
1:41:10
Speaker 3: have you on this morning. Sarah, good morning.
1:41:12
Speaker 11: Thank you so much for having me.
1:41:14
Speaker 3: Now, the ballot petition was being circulated. I think the
1:41:17
Speaker 3: group started circulating it earlier this year and apparently didn't
1:41:21
Speaker 3: get enough signatures to get it on the November ballot.
1:41:25
Speaker 3: So where where are you at least in terms of
1:41:29
Speaker 3: the abolishing the property tax signature campaign axohtax dot com.
1:41:34
Speaker 3: I'll strongly encourage my listeners the bookmark that. But how
1:41:37
Speaker 3: many signatures do you have roughly if you can even say,
1:41:40
Speaker 3: And what's the strategy going forward to get this on
1:41:42
Speaker 3: the ballot?
1:41:44
Speaker 11: Well, first of all, all the signatures are still good
1:41:47
Speaker 11: until we turn them into the states, so we don't
1:41:49
Speaker 11: have to start from scratch. Good, we did not make
1:41:51
Speaker 11: it for this year. We have over three hundred thousand, though,
1:41:54
Speaker 11: and keep in mind we don't have the millions of
1:41:57
Speaker 11: dollars it usually takes to do a ballot initiative. We
1:42:00
Speaker 11: don't have any specific political backing, So this is all volunteers.
1:42:04
Speaker 11: It's all just neighbor help and neighbor here, you know,
1:42:08
Speaker 11: small businesses. And I'll tell you about the nuns in
1:42:10
Speaker 11: a minute. So I'm sure by next year it will
1:42:15
Speaker 11: be on the ballot. And so to put it also
1:42:21
Speaker 11: in perspective, not every petition makes it the first year.
1:42:25
Speaker 11: And I always tell people the suffrage, the suffrage movement,
1:42:31
Speaker 11: you know, women's suffrage took seventy two years. Yeah, it's
1:42:36
Speaker 11: gonna take what it's gonna.
1:42:38
Speaker 3: Take Yeah, I suppose I will all draw a contrast
1:42:41
Speaker 3: that with women's suffrage because you had to change the
1:42:43
Speaker 3: paternalistic cultural mindset which suggested that women were not smart
1:42:47
Speaker 3: enough to vote. That took a while, as crazy as
1:42:50
Speaker 3: it was to have that spring from that position, But
1:42:52
Speaker 3: I mean the idea and going back to the simple
1:42:55
Speaker 3: fundamental idea of fairness. Sarah, this I'm making your argument
1:42:58
Speaker 3: for you. Take the scene, you're in a fixed income situation.
1:43:02
Speaker 3: You know, it's just fundamentally wrong that they may lose
1:43:05
Speaker 3: their house because they can't afford a crazy giant property
1:43:09
Speaker 3: tax bill. I mean that that's really the hit the
1:43:12
Speaker 3: nail on the head point on this, isn't it?
1:43:15
Speaker 1: Oh?
1:43:16
Speaker 11: Absolutely? You know we've been telling them for years. We've
1:43:19
Speaker 11: been telling them for years. They've got to change the system.
1:43:22
Speaker 11: They can't just make up a number and that's what
1:43:25
Speaker 11: you pay in taxes based. You know, it's arbitrary and
1:43:28
Speaker 11: it's it's capricious. It is when you try to fight it,
1:43:31
Speaker 11: and the burden of proof is they won't tell you
1:43:33
Speaker 11: how they came up with the number. The counties don't
1:43:35
Speaker 11: even tell you that. But if you want to fight it,
1:43:37
Speaker 11: the burden of proof that it's not that wild number
1:43:39
Speaker 11: is on the homeowner.
1:43:41
Speaker 3: Yes, and it's just it's too much.
1:43:43
Speaker 11: It's too much tax. A tax should be a little
1:43:45
Speaker 11: bit annoying at worst. It shouldn't change your life. And
1:43:48
Speaker 11: here we've got seniors going back to work. We've got
1:43:51
Speaker 11: you know, people selling their furniture and to pay their taxes.
1:43:56
Speaker 3: And Sarah, we also have the county and the City
1:43:59
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati wanting to increase the property taxes through levee
1:44:02
Speaker 3: since our public school levy and the choice on them.
1:44:05
Speaker 11: Yes, shame on them, because we just saw in real
1:44:08
Speaker 11: time what we have been talking about for years, that
1:44:11
Speaker 11: people are happy to vote for a levee if they
1:44:15
Speaker 11: are not paying it or they don't think they're paying it.
1:44:17
Speaker 11: So all these people that don't, yeah, well, and all
1:44:21
Speaker 11: these people that don't own property, they're happy to vote
1:44:23
Speaker 11: for a levee today. Just the other day they tried
1:44:26
Speaker 11: to present a levee to put on income tax. So
1:44:31
Speaker 11: it's fine if other people are paying it, but heaven
1:44:34
Speaker 11: forbid it comes out of their own paycheck. And both
1:44:37
Speaker 11: the Democrat and the Republican parties even came out, no, no,
1:44:40
Speaker 11: don't put it on income you can't put it on
1:44:42
Speaker 11: incomes another.
1:44:44
Speaker 6: Why is it more?
1:44:46
Speaker 11: What is the justification for the levee. If it's not
1:44:48
Speaker 11: good enough to come out of income tax, well, and
1:44:52
Speaker 11: you don't think it's worth it, then why is it
1:44:54
Speaker 11: okay to put it on property.
1:44:56
Speaker 3: I was puzzled by that reaction to it didn't make
1:44:58
Speaker 3: much sense than shifting from the income over to property,
1:45:01
Speaker 3: because ultimately my point being, you know, if you're a renter,
1:45:04
Speaker 3: you pay it. I mean, your your landlord will ultimately
1:45:07
Speaker 3: increase your rent to cover the increase in property taxes.
1:45:09
Speaker 3: They're not going to go in the hole to keep
1:45:11
Speaker 3: you housed. So really the only people that don't pay
1:45:13
Speaker 3: anything are people who have their home their housing situation
1:45:17
Speaker 3: fully supported by tax payer dollars elsewhere. In other words,
1:45:19
Speaker 3: those that are receiving housing assistance through some governmental poverty program, well,
1:45:25
Speaker 3: and they don't.
1:45:27
Speaker 11: So with rent, it should largely be what the market
1:45:31
Speaker 11: will bear, so you can't change the rent in the
1:45:34
Speaker 11: middle of the lease. But like they're coming in and
1:45:38
Speaker 11: getting a yeah, yeah, I know, you can't pay it.
1:45:40
Speaker 3: That's the reason.
1:45:41
Speaker 11: It can raise it all you want. But if people
1:45:42
Speaker 11: aren't going.
1:45:43
Speaker 3: To pay it, well, they get duped into thinking that,
1:45:45
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's They're not going to have an
1:45:47
Speaker 3: increase in their rent immediately, of course, because of the restrictions,
1:45:50
Speaker 3: but ultimately when the rent does go up, maybe to
1:45:53
Speaker 3: cover the property tax in part, they don't retribute the
1:45:56
Speaker 3: increase in rent back to the vote they made to
1:45:58
Speaker 3: increase the property taxes.
1:46:00
Speaker 11: Sure, well, it's just shameful. But the more they do this,
1:46:03
Speaker 11: the more signatures we get. People have just had enough
1:46:06
Speaker 11: of this. And now, actually have you heard about apparently
1:46:11
Speaker 11: House Joint Resolution seven, Mark Heiner out of Knox County Rep.
1:46:17
Speaker 11: He there's just been movement on this. He presented this
1:46:20
Speaker 11: back in February, and apparently there's been movement on it
1:46:24
Speaker 11: because I've been hearing a little bit about it on
1:46:26
Speaker 11: the news, and I contacted his office because what he
1:46:30
Speaker 11: wants to do is something like what I think DeSantis
1:46:32
Speaker 11: is trying to do, which is just abolished property taxes
1:46:38
Speaker 11: for your primary residence. Now we want it. We're not
1:46:42
Speaker 11: going to abandon the petition over this, but at least
1:46:44
Speaker 11: it is real. There's starting to talk about real reform
1:46:48
Speaker 11: because we have in our the first article of our Constitution,
1:46:51
Speaker 11: an inalienable right to acquire, possess and protect property. And
1:46:56
Speaker 11: it doesn't make any differentiation between you know, small business property, farmland,
1:47:00
Speaker 11: or home ownership. It's just property and that's an inalienable right.
1:47:05
Speaker 11: And how do we protect it? You know, how do
1:47:08
Speaker 11: we protect our property if they can just you know,
1:47:11
Speaker 11: tax you out of it. Right, it's not just from
1:47:13
Speaker 11: other people, it's from the government. The law exists to
1:47:15
Speaker 11: protect the people, not just from other people, but from
1:47:17
Speaker 11: the government. And that's the mentality we got to get
1:47:20
Speaker 11: back to thinking about. Is the government's supposed to work
1:47:23
Speaker 11: for us?
1:47:24
Speaker 6: All right?
1:47:25
Speaker 3: Well, and I'm reading a state Representative Mark Hiner's proposal
1:47:28
Speaker 3: along these Ryans. The joint resolution you mentioned a limited
1:47:31
Speaker 3: proper taxes on owner occupied residential homes that would include
1:47:34
Speaker 3: the seniors that we're talking about here. That's homes in
1:47:37
Speaker 3: which the property owner resides as their primary residence. So
1:47:42
Speaker 3: like the farmers, that's the home they live in on
1:47:44
Speaker 3: their on their land now. And according to the reporting
1:47:47
Speaker 3: on this, Sohio homeowners paid over ten billion dollars a
1:47:50
Speaker 3: year in residential property taxes in county you're twenty twenty five.
1:47:54
Speaker 3: Under his Joint Resolution seven. I imagined that ten billion
1:47:58
Speaker 3: dollars wouldn't be going into the cough. So it does
1:48:01
Speaker 3: still present a huge challenge in terms of how everything
1:48:04
Speaker 3: relying upon property tax will get their slice of the pie.
1:48:07
Speaker 3: Say please fire parks, et cetera. That's the challenge. I
1:48:11
Speaker 3: think our lawmakers are fearful of if your if your
1:48:13
Speaker 3: proposal went through and the constitution was changes, or even
1:48:16
Speaker 3: this scening, they.
1:48:18
Speaker 11: Lose twenty billion if ours goes twenty billion. Yeah, the
1:48:21
Speaker 11: choice here, But at least it's real reform, and I
1:48:23
Speaker 11: think we should support him in this, you know, trying
1:48:26
Speaker 11: to get some movement on this, because it would especially
1:48:29
Speaker 11: if you could do it faster than we can get
1:48:30
Speaker 11: our amendment passed. It would help a lot of people's homes.
1:48:35
Speaker 3: Well, I agree completely.
1:48:37
Speaker 11: It's probably going to die in committee, but at least
1:48:39
Speaker 11: we should, you know, we should be the reasonable ones
1:48:41
Speaker 11: and say, okay, now you're talking. Now, you're talking real
1:48:44
Speaker 11: reform here. All this other stuff fiddling with the millage
1:48:48
Speaker 11: and all that, No, that's not real reform. And it
1:48:51
Speaker 11: doesn't mean a hill of beans as long as the
1:48:53
Speaker 11: county can just make up whatever price they want on
1:48:55
Speaker 11: your you know, for your valuation.
1:48:57
Speaker 3: Right, Well, and then his his bill would would address
1:49:00
Speaker 3: the urgency concern because people want their property taxes reduced.
1:49:06
Speaker 3: Now they've already passed some legislation. Everybody says it's a
1:49:09
Speaker 3: good thing going forward that will spike increase, and you know,
1:49:12
Speaker 3: the state paid owner occupied tax c they did changing
1:49:15
Speaker 3: the formula by which the school district's guaranteed minimum tax
1:49:18
Speaker 3: is calculated. There's other things that were passed. But that's okay,
1:49:21
Speaker 3: we're not going to experience this one third spike that
1:49:24
Speaker 3: we felt like the last time our homes were reassessed.
1:49:26
Speaker 3: So maybe going back, I know, but we're dealing with
1:49:30
Speaker 3: the reality.
1:49:32
Speaker 11: The murderer is offering you to pay for the funeral
1:49:34
Speaker 11: at this point.
1:49:35
Speaker 3: I know that's why people are excited about what you're doing.
1:49:37
Speaker 3: But then again, there's going to be a well oiled
1:49:39
Speaker 3: opposition to the effort to We can talk about that,
1:49:42
Speaker 3: but then let's also talk about, Okay, how will all
1:49:47
Speaker 3: of these entities currently funded by property tax be funded
1:49:50
Speaker 3: down the road. That's the challenge we're mainly faced with.
1:49:52
Speaker 3: We had a simple answer to that question, maybe we'd
1:49:54
Speaker 3: have more people in favor of your resolution. I will
1:49:57
Speaker 3: bring Harlan Sara we're gonna take it break, we'll bring
1:49:59
Speaker 3: it back. Not done yet. Go to as ohtax dot

1:50:31
Speaker 3: Get a petition there because next year it'll definitely be
1:50:33
Speaker 3: on the ballot. They had retained a north of three
1:50:36
Speaker 3: hundred thousand signatures. They need four hundred and thirteen thousand,
1:50:40
Speaker 3: almost five hundred VALLID signatures from half of the Ohios
1:50:43
Speaker 3: county that'd be forty four counties, and they need a
1:50:45
Speaker 3: buffer zone in there, so they wanted to gather and
1:50:48
Speaker 3: collect about six hundred and twenty thousand. Didn't hit the
1:50:50
Speaker 3: mark this year, but I think it's pretty solid. You
1:50:52
Speaker 3: can expect them to be on the ballot next year.
1:50:54
Speaker 3: So between now and then, and this is an interesting
1:50:56
Speaker 3: development she brought there. They's attention today. House Joint resis
1:51:00
Speaker 3: Solution seven, which would eliminate this is one sponsor by
1:51:03
Speaker 3: state Representative Mark Heiner, eliminate property taxes on owner occupied
1:51:07
Speaker 3: residential homes. It'll even place all the other taxes like
1:51:11
Speaker 3: not owner occupied commercial, industrial, agricultural, public, utility, personal property,
1:51:15
Speaker 3: those would all stay in place. That would cut ten
1:51:17
Speaker 3: billion dollars out of the tax out of the taxes
1:51:20
Speaker 3: that flow into Ohio. Sarah, can can I take a
1:51:23
Speaker 3: moment in time to interject a comment on how how
1:51:26
Speaker 3: great I think Mark Heiner's proposal is. If it cuts
1:51:30
Speaker 3: ten billion dollars from Ohio's coffers, do you think that
1:51:34
Speaker 3: might force our elected officials in Columbus to start going
1:51:37
Speaker 3: after all of the fraud, waste and abuse that we
1:51:40
Speaker 3: are dealing with in Ohio.
1:51:41
Speaker 6: Huh.
1:51:42
Speaker 11: Of course they shouldn't have enough money to commit fraud
1:51:45
Speaker 11: right now. And here's the bottom line. We will pay
1:51:48
Speaker 11: for services, you just don't tie it to our homes.
1:51:51
Speaker 11: There can be no mechanism where the government can take
1:51:54
Speaker 11: your home from you and everything that you've worked for
1:51:57
Speaker 11: the school. A lot of people don't know the state
1:51:59
Speaker 11: always already is supposed to be paying for the schools, yeah,
1:52:02
Speaker 11: in the article for six and also the de royal decisions.
1:52:07
Speaker 11: And then I think what's going to happen anyway, is
1:52:10
Speaker 11: that things like police and fire and other services are
1:52:13
Speaker 11: going to go to a utility model where everybody pays
1:52:16
Speaker 11: a small amount, and then if the government goes crazy
1:52:19
Speaker 11: on the funding of those, then everybody's mad, not just
1:52:21
Speaker 11: the home with the beleaguer homeowners.
1:52:23
Speaker 1: You know.
1:52:24
Speaker 3: Well, so some are suggested we'll pay for services.
1:52:27
Speaker 11: We're not anarchists, no.
1:52:28
Speaker 3: I understand that. And some are suggesting an increase in
1:52:31
Speaker 3: the in the sales tax to cover this, and that's
1:52:33
Speaker 3: a usages.
1:52:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:52:36
Speaker 11: And then there's another twenty taxes that nobody probably even
1:52:39
Speaker 11: heard of. You could raise those at a half percent,
1:52:40
Speaker 11: nobody would notice. But here's the other thing. When they
1:52:43
Speaker 11: talk about so the income tax would be eleven billion
1:52:47
Speaker 11: if they eliminated the income tax in Ohio, but nobody
1:52:51
Speaker 11: ever talks about how are we going to replace that?
1:52:53
Speaker 6: Why is that?
1:52:55
Speaker 11: I mean, is it because it's you know, they're thinking
1:52:57
Speaker 11: more local funds versus state funds or what? Why would
1:53:00
Speaker 11: I mean, why isn't anybody talking about how are you
1:53:02
Speaker 11: going to replace that if you eliminate the income.
1:53:05
Speaker 3: Text, Well, there's it's it's not a static decision. I
1:53:07
Speaker 3: think economically speaking, if you look back in economic modeling
1:53:11
Speaker 3: and forecasting, what's proven to be true if you allow
1:53:13
Speaker 3: people to keep more of their income, they end up
1:53:15
Speaker 3: spending it, which results in more income to the federal
1:53:18
Speaker 3: to the estate coffers, right.
1:53:20
Speaker 11: Ten billion dollars back into the economy.
1:53:22
Speaker 3: And you can make the same argument by giving us
1:53:24
Speaker 3: more relief from our property tax dollars, right, Sarah.
1:53:27
Speaker 11: Absolutely, absolutely, So let me tell you about the nuns
1:53:30
Speaker 11: before you. Oh the nuns is hilarious, Go ahead, that
1:53:34
Speaker 11: is so well, it's not funny, but it is. I mean,
1:53:38
Speaker 11: it's it's wild. So Hamilton County has now ticked off
1:53:43
Speaker 11: the nuns.
1:53:44
Speaker 10: It's the it's.
1:53:45
Speaker 11: Downtown Saint Mary's, the Carmelite Daughters of Elias. They are
1:53:51
Speaker 11: doing great work down there. They're right and thick of
1:53:53
Speaker 11: all of it. And they bought two buildings to completely darrel.
1:53:58
Speaker 11: The buildings, raise funds through the parish rehab them. They're
1:54:03
Speaker 11: doing their charity work out of there, and the county
1:54:06
Speaker 11: comes along and says, nope, those don't count as church buildings,
1:54:10
Speaker 11: we're going to tax you. And I think at first
1:54:12
Speaker 11: it was something like sixty thousand dollars. Now I just
1:54:15
Speaker 11: heard the story yesterday's. If I get any any of
1:54:17
Speaker 11: the details wrong, I apologize and we'll correct them later.
1:54:20
Speaker 11: But they finally got it down to they proved that
1:54:23
Speaker 11: they're a church and they're doing all this charity, and
1:54:26
Speaker 11: then finally the county still gives them a twenty thousand
1:54:33
Speaker 11: dollars tax bill, saying, well, okay, the parts of these
1:54:39
Speaker 11: buildings you use for charity are exempt, but where you're sleeping,
1:54:42
Speaker 11: where the noun sleep, we're going.
1:54:44
Speaker 6: To tax that.
1:54:44
Speaker 11: We're going to tax your bedrooms. Yes, it's outrageous, and
1:54:49
Speaker 11: you know, some people say, well, churches should be paying
1:54:52
Speaker 11: property taxes, but you know what, it's twenty thousand dollars.
1:54:54
Speaker 11: I've never spent that much on a car. Twenty thousand
1:54:57
Speaker 11: dollars is a lot of money. They don't bring anything in.
1:55:00
Speaker 11: They're nuns, you know, and they're doing all this great work,
1:55:03
Speaker 11: and it's just it's outrageous. So I've got a great
1:55:06
Speaker 11: picture all the sisters are signing the petition, and I've
1:55:09
Speaker 11: got a great picture.
1:55:10
Speaker 1: With me and and.
1:55:13
Speaker 3: Sister Marie Sarah were they were they holding rulers when
1:55:17
Speaker 3: the picture was taken, I would be great.
1:55:20
Speaker 11: Yeah, well I'm always busy getting signatures, so I don't
1:55:23
Speaker 11: get pictures of everything, but yeah, I will treasure that
1:55:26
Speaker 11: one forever because they're just wonderful people. The parish was
1:55:29
Speaker 11: so great. We've got tons of signatures. We're going to
1:55:31
Speaker 11: be invited back for an event to get more signatures.
1:55:35
Speaker 11: But man, once we get the nuns involved.
1:55:39
Speaker 3: The better watch out messing with the hornet's nest on
1:55:41
Speaker 3: that one. Now, some may suggest that, you know, it's
1:55:44
Speaker 3: part of the Catholic Church's mission to care for the poor,
1:55:47
Speaker 3: which is exactly what the nuns are doing. Ergo, it
1:55:49
Speaker 3: should be the parishioners responsibility to fund whatever obligations they
1:55:54
Speaker 3: have from a taxation standpoint. But I'll let the theologians
1:55:58
Speaker 3: and others argue amongst themselves. But yeah, it's nice to
1:56:00
Speaker 3: have the nuns on your side when you're talking about
1:56:02
Speaker 3: property taxes.
1:56:02
Speaker 1: I have to admit it was great.
1:56:05
Speaker 6: It was great.
1:56:07
Speaker 3: So you're still accepting signatures, you're still circulating petitions, and
1:56:11
Speaker 3: this work will continue into next year.
1:56:13
Speaker 11: Yes, absolutely, And if you can only and if you
1:56:16
Speaker 11: can only get just ten signatures, you can go to
1:56:19
Speaker 11: the Axo tax you can download it, print it, get
1:56:24
Speaker 11: ten signatures, send them in. That's how we do it,
1:56:27
Speaker 11: ten signatures at a time. I can't tell you how
1:56:29
Speaker 11: many of those short forms that we've given out, And
1:56:31
Speaker 11: if you can do more, just you know, get a
1:56:33
Speaker 11: hold of one of us and we'll send you the
1:56:34
Speaker 11: longer form.
1:56:35
Speaker 3: Well, you've got an epic battle. Stare on epic battle.
1:56:39
Speaker 3: They've already now. I well it is.
1:56:42
Speaker 11: I'm just here for the ride.
1:56:45
Speaker 3: I just have to interject from my listeners. So they
1:56:47
Speaker 3: now because you pointed out early on in this conversation
1:56:49
Speaker 3: that this is not a funded, well oiled, you know,
1:56:51
Speaker 3: huge pack organization kind of effort. This is a grassroots effort, pure,
1:56:55
Speaker 3: plain and simple. They already had it. April sixty five,
1:57:00
Speaker 3: groups of local elected officials, libraries, businesses, and trade groups,
1:57:04
Speaker 3: as well as unions representing first responders and teachers unit
1:57:07
Speaker 3: put together a coalition to nix your effort. So this
1:57:10
Speaker 3: is a moneyed, well organized opposition you're going to be
1:57:13
Speaker 3: facing next year. So can grassroots reality beat a well
1:57:19
Speaker 3: organized opposition that is going to be well funded we'll
1:57:21
Speaker 3: have our popcorn out.
1:57:23
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:57:24
Speaker 11: Well, because there's this is based on forear. Their campaigns
1:57:26
Speaker 11: based on fore your and ours is based on love
1:57:28
Speaker 11: for our neighbor. And I'll just leave it at that.
1:57:30
Speaker 3: Well, and yours is based on the reality of staring
1:57:33
Speaker 3: a massive property tax bill in the face that hits home.
1:57:36
Speaker 3: Sarah Wolf, keep up the great work coming. We'll have
1:57:39
Speaker 3: you back on again soon, and we'll keep up with
1:57:41
Speaker 3: the efforts as we get into next year. And keep
1:57:43
Speaker 3: our fingers crossed that the efforts by the elected official
1:57:47
Speaker 3: and behind the Joint Resolution seven again, Representative Mark Heiner.
1:57:52
Speaker 3: I'll encourage my listeners to get in touch with the
1:57:54
Speaker 3: elected officials and columbus that would take the sting out
1:57:56
Speaker 3: of it. Right there, media app while you're there and
1:57:59
Speaker 3: listen to content you happen to be can stream the
1:58:01
Speaker 3: audio directed from the site, and of course gets your
1:58:02
Speaker 3: smith e vent every Monday. We heard from Christopher Smithman
1:58:05
Speaker 3: earlier the shout out to my black listening audience, vote
1:58:09
Speaker 3: and choose a different path. Christopher strongly recommended. Anyhow, if
1:58:13
Speaker 3: you five krse dot ior dot iHeart dot com. Paul's
1:58:16
Speaker 3: on the phone, Paul, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome
1:58:18
Speaker 3: to the Morning Show.
1:58:21
Speaker 15: Hi mister Brian, Good morning, And I want to say
1:58:24
Speaker 15: thank you to Sarah for all that she's doing to
1:58:28
Speaker 15: help Ohio. I've been actively trying to support this and
1:58:34
Speaker 15: tell everyone to go to places Acts Ohio Tax and
1:58:38
Speaker 15: sign up. And I think a little bit of confusion
1:58:42
Speaker 15: that I ran into just by telling other Ohioans that
1:58:46
Speaker 15: it's not just for a person who is a homeowner,
1:58:50
Speaker 15: because it does and will affect them if they do
1:58:53
Speaker 15: raise property rates if there are renters, so right, I
1:58:57
Speaker 15: was hoping that you know, that can be discussed or
1:59:01
Speaker 15: how can I go about to help others explain that,
1:59:04
Speaker 15: because that is like kind of the fine line of
1:59:08
Speaker 15: people don't know that if they don't own a house,
1:59:11
Speaker 15: they feel like they can't sign up.
1:59:13
Speaker 3: Well they can, of course, you just have to be
1:59:15
Speaker 3: a registered voter. But I mean, if you're paying money
1:59:18
Speaker 3: to someone, it's calculated based upon the overhead that that
1:59:22
Speaker 3: person has, the taxes of course that they pay on
1:59:24
Speaker 3: the property that you're living in, anything else related to it,
1:59:27
Speaker 3: plus a percentage for profit. Right, So does anybody think
1:59:31
Speaker 3: they're going to curb their margins and lower their profitability
1:59:34
Speaker 3: and pass along and eat the property tax increase that
1:59:37
Speaker 3: the owner of the building faces. No, Ultimately, it's going
1:59:39
Speaker 3: to show up in rent. Now, your rent may not
1:59:42
Speaker 3: make it according to the terms of your lease or
1:59:43
Speaker 3: maybe under a high law or whatever. You can't just
1:59:46
Speaker 3: jack rent up in the middle of a release. And
1:59:48
Speaker 3: I get that. But the lease will come to an
1:59:50
Speaker 3: end and there will be an opportunity for them to
1:59:52
Speaker 3: raise the rate. The problem is, I don't think the
1:59:54
Speaker 3: renters appreciate that the rate increase was a product of
1:59:59
Speaker 3: the taxes being increased on the property. So ultimately they
2:00:02
Speaker 3: are paying it. So the only people that are free
2:00:03
Speaker 3: from that if they live in an abode that they
2:00:06
Speaker 3: do not own, is that the taxpayers are covering the
2:00:09
Speaker 3: rent for them because they're in a poverty program, like
2:00:11
Speaker 3: perhaps a Section eight situation, in which the taxpayers, generally speaking,
2:00:15
Speaker 3: will be covering the property tax increase because I presume
2:00:17
Speaker 3: that whatever incentives the landlord has from the government subsidizing
2:00:23
Speaker 3: the rent, well we'll go up as well.
2:00:28
Speaker 15: Yes, sir, thank you for that, and I will work
2:00:32
Speaker 15: on getting that message passed.
2:00:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you can, Paul. Listen, It's just the
2:00:36
Speaker 3: cost of doing business, like anything else. If a tariff
2:00:39
Speaker 3: comes along, the price of the good will go up,
2:00:41
Speaker 3: and you complain about the tariff if your rent goes up.
2:00:44
Speaker 3: Look at the source or the reason for the rent increase.
2:00:47
Speaker 3: Is it just a greedy landlord or have they really
2:00:50
Speaker 3: had their profit margins reduced by the increase in property tax?
2:00:53
Speaker 3: And I guarantee you that that's one of the reasons
2:00:55
Speaker 3: they'll raise rent. Just makes perfect sense. Yes, you will
2:00:58
Speaker 3: ultimately pay for it. Who's next, Joe Strecker. That's Sandy Morning.
2:01:02
Speaker 3: Hang on, Sandy, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Monday
2:01:04
Speaker 3: to you.
2:01:05
Speaker 10: Hi.
2:01:07
Speaker 8: I wanted to ask, you know, the Sarah that was
2:01:09
Speaker 8: just on said something about the state's supposed to pay
2:01:14
Speaker 8: whatever portion of we are the state. Where do you
2:01:17
Speaker 8: see thinks the taxes come from?
2:01:19
Speaker 5: I'm you know what I'm saying, Yes I do.
2:01:22
Speaker 8: Yeah, did you catch that? Because that's not clear to
2:01:25
Speaker 8: a lot of people because the whole thing. Look, I
2:01:27
Speaker 8: don't like property taxes either, So if she's listening, we
2:01:30
Speaker 8: don't like it. But you know what, that's how we're
2:01:34
Speaker 8: doing what we do. Could the millage bee of our valuation? Yeah,
2:01:41
Speaker 8: they need to like, you know, not just like arbitrary.
2:01:43
Speaker 8: Go Well, we're gonna punish this neighborhood and we're gonna,
2:01:46
Speaker 8: you know whatever, Well, however that is that could that
2:01:48
Speaker 8: could be fixed.
2:01:49
Speaker 3: Well, And the legislators have already passed legislation that'll stop
2:01:52
Speaker 3: that type of crazy increase from coming. That's one of
2:01:55
Speaker 3: the things that's already on the books. It'll ultimately save
2:01:57
Speaker 3: us a lot of money going forward, because we're never
2:01:59
Speaker 3: going to get clobbered over the head by oh my god,
2:02:01
Speaker 3: your house has gone up by fifty percent or one
2:02:03
Speaker 3: hundred percent and we're going to tax you on that.
2:02:06
Speaker 3: So they've got caps on spikes in place now, they've
2:02:09
Speaker 3: changed other formulas, and we will get some going forward
2:02:11
Speaker 3: relief and that's the point. So that's fine, and that'll
2:02:15
Speaker 3: stop this kind of thing from happening again maybe, But
2:02:18
Speaker 3: it doesn't relieve us of the current burden, which many
2:02:22
Speaker 3: people say is already way too damn high. They want
2:02:24
Speaker 3: the current rate to drop. So if you're being taxed
2:02:27
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars, that's too much. I wanted to go
2:02:30
Speaker 3: down to pick a number three thousand. How do you
2:02:32
Speaker 3: accomplish that. Nothing on the books, with the exception of
2:02:35
Speaker 3: that resolution I just mentioned that would deal with it,
2:02:38
Speaker 3: it would prevent all property taxes on owner occupied residential homes.
2:02:43
Speaker 3: So it doesn't go as far as Sarah's proposal, which
2:02:46
Speaker 3: is eliminating all property taxes. But the primary concern here
2:02:49
Speaker 3: is think about the seniors who can't afford to pay
2:02:51
Speaker 3: the tax bill. Joint Resolution seven would end that problem
2:02:55
Speaker 3: for them. There will be no taxes on owner occupied
2:02:58
Speaker 3: residential homes. So we need that one approved. So if
2:03:02
Speaker 3: we get three fists of the members elected in both
2:03:04
Speaker 3: chambers of the how General Assembly, that will be submitted
2:03:07
Speaker 3: to the House Secretary of State, it'll be put on
2:03:09
Speaker 3: the ballot for November. If they advance this thing quickly
2:03:11
Speaker 3: and we can vote on it this year, maybe maybe
2:03:14
Speaker 3: it was solved the problem in large part. So keep
2:03:17
Speaker 3: your fingers crossed sand there may be some relief coming
2:03:19
Speaker 3: all away. Hang in there, thanks to call today. All right,
2:03:22
Speaker 3: you have a wonderful day. Marine. Hold on, we'll take
2:03:24
Speaker 3: your call right after because we're out of time here
2:03:26
Speaker 3: and I want to give you a short chalk station
2:03:28
Speaker 3: five one, three, seven, four nine fifty eight hundred eight
2:03:30
Speaker 3: two three talk pound five fifty on AT and T phones.
2:03:33
Speaker 3: Marie paused for a moment because Doug's got a has
2:03:36
Speaker 3: a question about Vivick Ramaswamy in so far as property
2:03:38
Speaker 3: taxes are concerned, I'll get your call next morning. Ramaswami's website,
2:03:42
Speaker 3: he says, immediate relief, rolling back property tax levels to
2:03:46
Speaker 3: where they were before the end of the COVID pandemic,
2:03:48
Speaker 3: and then certainly right after that, when the whole real
2:03:50
Speaker 3: estate market got turned into up its head, do you
2:03:52
Speaker 3: foun out your house is worth a hell of a
2:03:54
Speaker 3: lot more than you originally thought it was, so lower
2:03:56
Speaker 3: the property tax bills for home owners right away rolling back,
2:03:59
Speaker 3: So there's the immediate relief people are seeking. How he
2:04:02
Speaker 3: would accomplish this question, mark, But it wouldn't be as
2:04:04
Speaker 3: profound as that Senate or that House Resolution seven that
2:04:09
Speaker 3: I just mentioned, Joint Resolution seven, which would eliminate it
2:04:12
Speaker 3: for owner property owner primary residents. So a couple of
2:04:17
Speaker 3: options floating around beyond abolishing it completely. So Doug's got
2:04:19
Speaker 3: a question about vv Doug, welcome to the show. Thanks
2:04:21
Speaker 3: for calling this Monday.
2:04:26
Speaker 14: I wanted to ask a question. I went to his
2:04:28
Speaker 14: website and I saw that he was proposing, you know,
2:04:33
Speaker 14: three nineteen nineteen or twenty nineteen factors He touts himself
2:04:38
Speaker 14: as a businessman that has done great things, and he
2:04:43
Speaker 14: has an education to back it up. I wonder why
2:04:45
Speaker 14: he's not looking at if it was his own company,
2:04:49
Speaker 14: he'd be getting rid of the fraud first, or he'd
2:04:53
Speaker 14: be going forward with a plan like getting rid of
2:04:57
Speaker 14: factors altogether and then funding it from getting fraud. I
2:05:01
Speaker 14: don't understand why he's selling.
2:05:03
Speaker 3: Short Okay, I'm not sure I can address it. I
2:05:07
Speaker 3: haven't heard Vive say anything specifically about fraud, although we
2:05:10
Speaker 3: do know we have a fraud problem in this in
2:05:12
Speaker 3: this state, like apparently all the other states, mostly dealing
2:05:15
Speaker 3: with federal programs that are subsidized with the high of dollars.
2:05:18
Speaker 3: I have every confidence in the world that viv Ramaswami
2:05:22
Speaker 3: as governor versus Amy Acton as governor will certainly go
2:05:25
Speaker 3: after fraud, waste and abuse. I mean, I'm certain that
2:05:28
Speaker 3: he had a well oiled machine in his own private
2:05:30
Speaker 3: businesses and did not abide fraud, so that just seems
2:05:33
Speaker 3: to be a given. I guess it should be more
2:05:37
Speaker 3: prominently placed on his website. I suppose. I don't know.
2:05:40
Speaker 3: I have to go back over his whole platform on
2:05:42
Speaker 3: the website to see where he is on fraud. But
2:05:44
Speaker 3: I mean, well, I know.
2:05:45
Speaker 14: You've got a boy, so to hear from you a
2:05:48
Speaker 14: lot more than hearing from us.
2:05:50
Speaker 3: All right, you're ready, Doug right now, because Ramasan has
2:05:52
Speaker 3: got a lot of folks in his camp that are
2:05:54
Speaker 3: listening to the morning show. Please, Dear God, have Vive
2:05:57
Speaker 3: come out loud and say he will not tolerate a
2:05:59
Speaker 3: single taxpayer dollar fraud. Not a dollar that's money that
2:06:03
Speaker 3: came in from other states through the federal taxes, that's
2:06:06
Speaker 3: money paid in the Ohio for state taxes. Every taxpayer
2:06:08
Speaker 3: dollar will be sacred, and he pledges a fiduciary obligation
2:06:13
Speaker 3: to go after fraud and not allow it in the
2:06:15
Speaker 3: state of Ohio. There, that's my request. That is something
2:06:18
Speaker 3: I would expect a Ramaswami gubernatorial office or rather than
2:06:23
Speaker 3: him being governor, would just bring about automatically. That's kind
2:06:27
Speaker 3: of businessman he is. So appreciate the heads up on
2:06:29
Speaker 3: that one. Maureen, Let's pivot over to her and see
2:06:30
Speaker 3: what she's got this morning. Welcome back, Maureene. It's always
2:06:32
Speaker 3: nice to hear from you.
2:06:34
Speaker 16: Good morning, Brian. I wanted to kind of piggyback on
2:06:37
Speaker 16: what Christopher Snitherman had to say about comparing Fauci with
2:06:43
Speaker 16: Amy Acton, because she was very active during all the
2:06:46
Speaker 16: time with COVID, of course, locking us down and everything.
2:06:50
Speaker 16: Another comparison that I drew between the two of them
2:06:53
Speaker 16: was that, I don't know if you noticed during the
2:06:55
Speaker 16: hearing Senator Jony Ernst, I'm surprised this didn't get more attention.
2:06:59
Speaker 16: But she questioned she about government funded experiments using human
2:07:03
Speaker 16: fetal tissue for COVID research. Yeah, and she specifically, yeah,
2:07:07
Speaker 16: she specifically mentioned using baby fetal fingers and galp parts
2:07:12
Speaker 16: sewing them onto the backs of mice, which is horrific.
2:07:14
Speaker 16: If you don't know evil, if you can't recognize evil,
2:07:17
Speaker 16: I don't know what else to say for you, not
2:07:20
Speaker 16: you specifically, of.
2:07:21
Speaker 3: Course, but no, no, no, I understand your point. I
2:07:24
Speaker 3: guess I've been scratching my head since I heard those
2:07:26
Speaker 3: horrific words come out of her mouth, that we actually
2:07:28
Speaker 3: paid for that type of experimence. What in the hell
2:07:30
Speaker 3: used to science? Is it to sew a finger from
2:07:33
Speaker 3: a fetal tissue baby onto the back of a mouse.
2:07:36
Speaker 3: What are we learning from that? Maureen?
2:07:39
Speaker 6: Right?
2:07:40
Speaker 1: Right?
2:07:40
Speaker 16: How did that help COVID or supposed COVID whatever. But yeah,
2:07:44
Speaker 16: it was growing bait, fine baby hair. I guess it
2:07:47
Speaker 16: gave them youth. I'm not sure there's a lot more
2:07:49
Speaker 16: in that story too, But as as far as Amy
2:07:52
Speaker 16: acting went, during COVID, she was shutting all of us down,
2:07:55
Speaker 16: and then they cut down. I work in medical field,
2:07:58
Speaker 16: so they were making non es sense surgeries obsolete because
2:08:02
Speaker 16: they were protecting the mask and supply and the personal
2:08:05
Speaker 16: protective devices. But she kept the abortion clinics open, and
2:08:10
Speaker 16: you know, go figure on that one. So I see
2:08:12
Speaker 16: a real connection there with her connection to the supply
2:08:16
Speaker 16: of that aborted fetal tissue, which is, in my eyes,
2:08:19
Speaker 16: so evil. And I think that's what we're going to
2:08:22
Speaker 16: get if she gets elected. This is a spiritual battle,
2:08:25
Speaker 16: and it's going to become more evident as things get
2:08:28
Speaker 16: exposed how horrific voting for her would be. And I
2:08:33
Speaker 16: think that, you know, if people need to put aside
2:08:35
Speaker 16: whatever their issue is with the Bank, he's an intelligent, articulate,
2:08:40
Speaker 16: extremely bright man, and if we pick her over him,
2:08:44
Speaker 16: we are doomed, totally doomed. I don't know what else
2:08:47
Speaker 16: to say.
2:08:47
Speaker 3: I'm back in one hundred percent of those conclusions, Maureen.
2:08:50
Speaker 3: And also I think she's demonstrably incompetent. There's another reason
2:08:55
Speaker 3: that's the vote for right.
2:08:57
Speaker 16: Absolutely. Do you see those posts that Jack Winster's been
2:09:00
Speaker 16: posting of her with with know news clip not news
2:09:04
Speaker 16: news clips from when she was active during COVID. I'm
2:09:07
Speaker 16: talking crazy. I can't even watch those clips that he posts.
2:09:12
Speaker 16: She's she's not right. There's something really off. And and
2:09:16
Speaker 16: for those who might recognize it, and for those.
2:09:18
Speaker 3: Who might defend her actions because oh my god, we're
2:09:21
Speaker 3: under COVID, we don't know what it is, we don't
2:09:22
Speaker 3: know how dangerous it is. We're all gonna die. Maybe
2:09:24
Speaker 3: don't know. Look at what Florida did you know there
2:09:28
Speaker 3: was a different path right, And they studied it. They
2:09:32
Speaker 3: didn't take Fauci at his word. They actually looked at
2:09:35
Speaker 3: the medical evidence supporting what he was saying, and they
2:09:38
Speaker 3: npenneled to grand jury to analyze all that, and they
2:09:40
Speaker 3: came to the conclusion that, you know what, he's idiot.
2:09:42
Speaker 3: He's an idiot. Masks don't do Jack squat. I mean
2:09:45
Speaker 3: that was something that Fauci came out originally and said,
2:09:47
Speaker 3: they aren't gonna work. It's like throwing sand at a
2:09:49
Speaker 3: chain link fence, the tiny little particles of COVID seep
2:09:53
Speaker 3: right through it. And he made up the social distancing
2:09:56
Speaker 3: thing too. What the hell's with that whole cloth creation
2:09:59
Speaker 3: right from his f and yet Amy acting climbed on
2:10:02
Speaker 3: board and took it as gospel rather than looking into
2:10:04
Speaker 3: it herself, maybe because she lacks the competence to independently
2:10:07
Speaker 3: evaluate such things. I don't know.
2:10:10
Speaker 16: Yeah, they're they're working together. It's a whole movement, you know.
2:10:15
Speaker 16: Just like they wouldn't let you use ivermectin or hydroxychloroquin
2:10:19
Speaker 16: and that's what they knew it worked. They just couldn't
2:10:21
Speaker 16: get that emergency youth authorization too, so they could push
2:10:25
Speaker 16: the vaccine, which is a whole nother story in the version.
2:10:29
Speaker 3: Of that Welcome to Government by Experts. Sadly, experts are
2:10:32
Speaker 3: humans too, and they can also be subject to nefarious
2:10:35
Speaker 3: actions and nefarious motives. Selling it to you is something
2:10:39
Speaker 3: we need to do in the name of science. Now
2:10:41
Speaker 3: they're human.
2:10:42
Speaker 16: Being rich is the word of the day with them.
2:10:44
Speaker 3: That's why I say, don't put the decision making in
2:10:46
Speaker 3: your world in the hands of anybody but the person
2:10:48
Speaker 3: looking at you in the mirror in the morning, Maureen,
2:10:50
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your call. I always appreciate it.
2:10:52
Speaker 3: Thank you for listening from abroad as well. Eight forty
2:10:55
Speaker 3: five IFY five KCY the talk stations stick around title
2:10:57
Speaker 3: nine also mentioned by Christopher Smith. And you got that
2:11:00
Speaker 3: problem coming at you with Amy acting, and maybe the
2:11:03
Speaker 3: situation will be solved. I think it's come to a head.
2:11:07
Speaker 3: I'll explain why just a second fifty talk station Happy Monday.
2:11:14
Speaker 3: You didn't get a chance to listen to Chritopher smitham
2:11:16
Speaker 3: in this morning part of his dietary, his rant, rather
2:11:18
Speaker 3: his smither event was in connection with men playing women's sports.
2:11:22
Speaker 3: He's got it, dott of that swims. You have no
2:11:24
Speaker 3: doubt in your mind, one way or another whether men
2:11:26
Speaker 3: should be able to compete against women. Just look at
2:11:28
Speaker 3: the men's times in any given a swimming event, and
2:11:32
Speaker 3: compared to the women's times, you'll see a huge difference
2:11:37
Speaker 3: between the two. That's just been the case forever. It's
2:11:39
Speaker 3: an obvious thing. You can't say you're a woman if
2:11:42
Speaker 3: you're a guy. That doesn't make you can say it.
2:11:45
Speaker 3: And again, you know, my little little libertarian is I
2:11:47
Speaker 3: don't have anything against transgender people. I just the question
2:11:50
Speaker 3: of fairness for women in sports. I can live in
2:11:52
Speaker 3: a world with a transgender person. I can accept the
2:11:54
Speaker 3: fact that they think they're the opposite sex. Doesn't it
2:11:57
Speaker 3: impact my world? What impacts my world, or potentially impact
2:12:00
Speaker 3: my world, is the same thing at Christopher has he's
2:12:02
Speaker 3: got a daughter that swims. Okay, okay, Now a vote
2:12:08
Speaker 3: framing acted as a vote for that crazy left wing absurdity.
2:12:11
Speaker 3: They're the ones that brought you this madness, this idea
2:12:14
Speaker 3: of allowing men to compete against women. It's they own it,
2:12:21
Speaker 3: They advocate for it, they defend it all day long.
2:12:25
Speaker 3: So how might this thing come to a head. Oh
2:12:27
Speaker 3: my god, here we go. This is this is a
2:12:29
Speaker 3: great development. Let us start with Ennis Canter Freedom, who
2:12:35
Speaker 3: has declared for the twenty twenty seven w NBA Draft.
2:12:39
Speaker 3: Former basketball star six feet ten, two hundred and fifty pounds,
2:12:44
Speaker 3: he played for the NBA eleven season for his wave
2:12:48
Speaker 3: by the Houston Rockets. In February of twenty twenty two.
2:12:50
Speaker 3: I guess he still has game now after this controversy
2:12:55
Speaker 3: popped up, you know they hold this whole Indiana fever.
2:12:57
Speaker 3: Sophie Cunningham controversy. Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh
2:13:00
Speaker 3: my god. Quote. After a careful consideration reviewing the current
2:13:04
Speaker 3: eligibility guidelines thanks to the NBA or WNBA, I'm officially
2:13:08
Speaker 3: declaring myself a WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you
2:13:12
Speaker 3: are is all that's required, then I meet every single
2:13:16
Speaker 3: requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA, said, my team
2:13:20
Speaker 3: and I have carefully examined the WNBA's eligibility criteria and
2:13:23
Speaker 3: governing framework surrounding self identification and inclusion. Based on the
2:13:28
Speaker 3: current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility
2:13:32
Speaker 3: for the upcoming WNBA draft or April twenty twenty seven.
2:13:36
Speaker 3: Since I'd know my presence on the courtill stir up
2:13:38
Speaker 3: strong opinions. I'm definitely not here to mock, make fun of,
2:13:41
Speaker 3: or disrespect any community or personal choices. I'm simply asking
2:13:45
Speaker 3: that the current rules be applied equally to everyone. The
2:13:49
Speaker 3: rules will represent the very values many WNBA players and
2:13:52
Speaker 3: coaches have publicly advocated for calling a bluff. Maybe you
2:13:58
Speaker 3: throw in former NBA player Royce White, who also says
2:14:02
Speaker 3: he is declaring for the twenty twenty seven WNBA draft himself.
2:14:06
Speaker 3: The second former pro to do that. He along mister Freedom.
2:14:10
Speaker 3: He's thirty five. He's also a candid for US senator
2:14:12
Speaker 3: on the Republican side. Played three games in his a
2:14:14
Speaker 3: short NBA career, but he is tall. He is a
2:14:17
Speaker 3: basketball player of some note. And he also said quote,
2:14:21
Speaker 3: I'm transgender, I'm a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying
2:14:27
Speaker 3: as a woman for purposes of professional basketball. So is
2:14:37
Speaker 3: this life imitating comedy?
2:14:38
Speaker 1: Joe?
2:14:39
Speaker 3: Is this member of the South Park episode? Was it
2:14:42
Speaker 3: Randy Savage you know said he's going to participate in
2:14:45
Speaker 3: women's sports?
2:14:46
Speaker 5: Uh?
2:14:46
Speaker 1: Huh.
2:14:48
Speaker 3: WNBA commissioner Kathy Engelbert had to respond to that one,
2:14:52
Speaker 3: because yes, their rules say if you declare that you
2:14:55
Speaker 3: are a woman, you are and you're welcome to participate
2:14:57
Speaker 3: in the NBA. Who advocates for this the left. I
2:15:08
Speaker 3: know many of you have received questions in recent weeks
2:15:10
Speaker 3: regarding transgender athlete participation in women's basketball, and I expect
2:15:15
Speaker 3: this topic will continue to receive significant attention, She wrote, Huh.
2:15:20
Speaker 3: I want to reach out to share how we are
2:15:22
Speaker 3: approaching these conversations at the league office and to thank
2:15:25
Speaker 3: those of you who have responded to questions from the
2:15:27
Speaker 3: media with thoughtfulness and professionalism, and here we go. It
2:15:33
Speaker 3: gets pretty high and deep here, so you might have
2:15:36
Speaker 3: to wash your shoes off after waiting through this crap.
2:15:40
Speaker 3: We recognize this is a complex and nuanced topic. Really well,
2:15:48
Speaker 3: it wasn't a moment ago in time historically when it
2:15:51
Speaker 3: was not a complex and nuanced topic. It was you
2:15:53
Speaker 3: were a guy or you were a girl. Period. Look
2:15:56
Speaker 3: down between your legs, you got any question marks? Or
2:16:01
Speaker 3: we can do a genetic test if you really need one.
2:16:05
Speaker 3: And we will continue to have important conversations with all
2:16:08
Speaker 3: of you and the Players Association in the weeks and
2:16:10
Speaker 3: months ahead. We also plan to convene additional discussions and
2:16:14
Speaker 3: offer listening sessions for any team leaders who would like
2:16:17
Speaker 3: to participate. Your perspective and feedback are invaluable, and I
2:16:21
Speaker 3: appreciate those who have already reached out to share their thoughts.
2:16:25
Speaker 3: All right, what are you gonna do with that? Ennis Kanter,
2:16:27
Speaker 3: Freedom and Royce Wright, ma'am. They meet the criteria under
2:16:31
Speaker 3: your rules, which are parenthetically, in my subjective opinion, backcrap insane.
2:16:36
Speaker 3: But whatever your rules you made them, we're just playing
2:16:39
Speaker 3: wrong by them. They are, and apparently they stand a
2:16:43
Speaker 3: pretty good chance of getting into the WNBA if you
2:16:45
Speaker 3: just look at eligibility criteria based upon their ability to
2:16:48
Speaker 3: play basketball. Why would it be fair for these two
2:16:57
Speaker 3: gentlemen former NBA players to participate against the WNBA player.
2:17:02
Speaker 3: Would that be fair? Are they going to enter it
2:17:05
Speaker 3: into a case by case basis and maybe let some
2:17:08
Speaker 3: transidentifying people in and some not. Are they going to
2:17:13
Speaker 3: engage in a complex, nuanced discussion on a player by
2:17:18
Speaker 3: a player basis? Now they have a stupid rule. It
2:17:21
Speaker 3: needs to be changed. We need to go back to sanity.
2:17:23
Speaker 3: And you know, going into November, this is something you're
2:17:25
Speaker 3: voting for if you vote Democrat, if you vote any
2:17:28
Speaker 3: actor in this state, guaranteeing that your daughters, biological daughters,
2:17:34
Speaker 3: women are gonna have a enough bill challenge when it
2:17:37
Speaker 3: comes to participating in sports. Because somewhere out there there's
2:17:41
Speaker 3: an nsknter freedom who would be more than happy to
2:17:45
Speaker 3: buck the system. And yeah, maybe throw maybe make a
2:17:49
Speaker 3: political thing out of this. And I think he's doing
2:17:51
Speaker 3: the world as service because he is illustrating, along with
2:17:54
Speaker 3: the other one, Royce White, the absurdity of all of this.
2:17:57
Speaker 3: This is what happens eight fifty five fifty five krs
2:18:01
Speaker 3: C the talk station Christopher SMIVETHM dove into that topic
2:18:03
Speaker 3: earlier this morning, getting in a chance to listen to
2:18:05
Speaker 3: the smoother Van fifty five krs
