You know it's Friday because 4 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: Josh shir Straker hit the woo hoo button. He's execut 5 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: producer of the fifty five car Se Morning Show. Money is 6 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas, host of the fifty five Carsey Morning Show. 7 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: And I always appreciate facilitation and uh which means phone calls. 8 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: Phone calls are great here on the fifty five Carsite 9 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: Morning Show five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty two 10 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: to three Talk fifty on AT and T phones. Yes, 11 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: you heard it, Congress more and Davidson yesterday said warp, 12 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: well you need ah, you need a declaration of war 13 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: which comes from Congress. And he made good on that 14 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: the other day yesterday commenting on X he was on 15 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: the program. Yes, so you can find a podcast fifty 16 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: five cars dot com. He's requested a classified briefing on 17 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: the mission in Iran, and he said he intended to 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: back a War Powers resolution when it gets to the 19 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: House floor next week. Barring any new information. War requires 20 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: congressional authorization. There are actions short of war, but no 21 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: case has been made. That's basically what he said here 22 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: in the fifty five Cars Morning Show yesterday, made good 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: on it, letting the world know if they hadn't listened 24 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: to the podcast or listened to him live here. Apparently, 25 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: the House Democrats are expected to force a vote next 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: week which will prevent Trump from launching nuclears or new coup. 27 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: That was a slip of the tongue, wasn't It didn't 28 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: mean that strikes generally without getting congressional consent, launching and 29 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: waging a war against the country with whom we have 30 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: no outstanding You know, there's no outstanding threat except generalized threats. 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: Although I did point out the other day the State 32 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: of the Union address worrying about something that sounded like 33 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: w that someday we need to be concerned about Iran 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: being able to well create a missile that can fly 35 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: six thousand miles and hit US. Commentators and experts in 36 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: the know on that say that that's a long way 37 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: away now. It doesn't mean that it will represent a 38 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: challenge down the road. We don't have it now. So 39 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: the next the resolution kind of question mark whether it's 40 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: going to actually pass. Davidson co sponsored the resolution with 41 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: who do you think co sponsored the hold On, hold On, 42 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: hold on. That's why they make a cough button. Apologies. 43 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: Thomas Massey is the answer. If you had Thomas Massey, 44 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,839 Speaker 1: you're the winner. Anyway. The only the other other House 45 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: Republican who's out lowed said he's going to back it. 46 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: A couple of Democrats and get a load of this. 47 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: Josh Gothen Gotheimer and Jared Moskowitz indicated that they're going 48 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: to break with their party, which would be you must 49 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: have a well a declaration of war from Congress, break 50 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: with their party vote against the bill. Why well, Gothheimer's 51 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: described as a staunch ally of Israel. That's exactly right, 52 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: claiming that Trump needs flexibility to address the Iranian threats 53 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: to Israel. Israel's got the eminent threat issue. It can 54 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: maybe out loud state that with a straight face and 55 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: make a good case for it. That Iran definitely represents 56 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: an existential threat to Israel because their missiles actually can 57 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: reach Israel. Yeah, are we going to war for that? 58 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: The mere threat that it deposes against Israel? Congr's some 59 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: Davidson says no anyway. Gothharmer, in a joint statement with 60 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Mike Lawler, Republican. So long as death to America remains 61 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: a rallying cry of the Iranian regime, Iran will remain 62 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: a persistent and serious threat to our Men and women 63 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 1: in uniform are allies and global stability. Men and women 64 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: in uniform who are there on military basis that we 65 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: can try. We're in foreign lands that are not ours. 66 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: That's a reality that goes on all around this globe. 67 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: Does that provide I'm asking out loud, does that provide 68 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: a pretext for us to get into a global conflict? 69 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: The threat that is there because the missiles can theoretically 70 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: reach our bases, I should they launch them. Yes, of 71 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: course they can reach our bases. But that reality exists. 72 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: I think literally everywhere around the world, We've got bases 73 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: all over. Check out a global map and see where 74 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: our military presence is. So everywhere there's a military presence, 75 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: or even one might argue a business interest, a United 76 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: States business interest, we have to protect the assets in 77 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: the United States. It does provide a convenient pretext, doesn't it. Anyway? 78 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: I was glad to hear Congressman Davidson on that particular topic. 79 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: So I have one that's obviously looming large as the 80 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: Iranians apparently rejected the proposals yesterday, although they did say 81 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: the officials came out of the Geneva conversations between the 82 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: United States and Iran saying that there was significant progress. 83 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: Yet there's that word, however, yet they described the third 84 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: round as positive. Iranian state television also reported that Tehran 85 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: will continue enriching radium and did reject proposals to transfer 86 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: it abroad. According to the Associated Press, reports claimed Iran 87 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: would also push for lifting international sanctions. I e. Not 88 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: prepared to meet President Trump's demands. So it's not giving 89 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: up on enrichment. It's going to continue a riching iranium, 90 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: and it rejected the proposals to transfer what it's got 91 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: outside of the country. Those are two things that we've 92 00:05:52,839 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: been demanding. They say no, and this sounds like childish negotiation. 93 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: Fox News reported on it. I'm just taking it for 94 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: what it's worth. The negotiations were carried out primarily indirectly, 95 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: with Omani Foreign minister, a guy named Batter albu Sati 96 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: relaying messages between the two sides. It's like the telephone game. 97 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: Well we'll talk to We'll talk to the Omani foreign 98 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: minister will give him the message to take to the Irunians. 99 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: What they can't sit in a room together, they can't 100 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: talk face to face again children, No media public statement 101 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: from the United States or Iranian officials immediate public statement. 102 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: These are all again reports, So status quo. I guess 103 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: I just kind of wondering whether that the pause and 104 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: the promise of yet another round of talks in some way, 105 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: shape or form, buys Donald Trump some leeway given the 106 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: red lines that he has painted on the If Iran 107 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: doesn't capitulate to our demands, doesn't promise to completely eradicate 108 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: and give up its nuclear enrichment program, does not promise 109 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: to remove all enriched uranium from their country, then we're 110 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: gonna go to war. That's bottom line, boiled down to 111 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: what he said. So well, we're not gonna launch missiles yet, 112 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: because we're gonna continue to discuss. I like that posture 113 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: better than while waking up in the morning to come 114 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: here into the studio and seeing that we have started 115 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: dropping bombs on the Iranians. Anyhow, what else is going on? Oh, 116 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: it's got under my skin this morning. Let me just 117 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: ask you out loud. I don't really think that the 118 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: State of Ohio's will wash and cash. We all struggle 119 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: with budgetary issues as we contemplate perhaps getting rid of 120 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: the property tax. But if you had a billion dollars 121 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: laying around a billion dollars here in the state of Ohio, 122 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: now come up with a list of things that you 123 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: think that money should go to. Where would a responsible 124 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: politician allocate a billion dollars? Would you sprinkle it over 125 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: different programs, would you, I don't know, use it to 126 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: offset our personal tax liability? Would you I pick something? 127 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Because clearly there's an unlimited list of things that people 128 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: generally want government to do or think government is capable 129 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: of providing to us. And there's never enough money to 130 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: fund all of those different programs, now, is there? Someone's 131 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: always going well wait, wait, okay. So we deal with 132 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: the reality of an infinite number of claims or demands 133 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: we could assert or ask of government, and a finite 134 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: amount of dollars. Ergo, something's got to be put on 135 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: the back burner or deny. I'm talking a billion dollars, 136 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: a thousand million dollars. What's on your list? No, it's not, Joe, 137 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: he knows exactly where I'm going on. This is our 138 00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: sports stadiums are your list? No thanks, Dad, mission Man. 139 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: Should Akron Baseball LLC get almost two million dollars of that? 140 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: Should the Should the Cleveland Browns get six hundred million 141 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: of it? 142 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: No? 143 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: Thanks? Let's see here. Should uh FC Cincinnati Holdings LLC 144 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: get one hundred and thirty six million dollars for the 145 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: Tiquo Stadium Expansion project? 146 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: No? 147 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: Should Hamilton County get two hundred and thirty four million 148 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: dollars to renovate the CINCINNTI Bengals pay Course Stadium. 149 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 3: No? 150 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: Just three or four items on the list of hands 151 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: in the cookie jar, because Ohio says it is set 152 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: aside a billion dollars in grant money from the state's 153 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: unclaimed funds to go to sports. Ohio Sports Facility Grant 154 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: Program offering organizations the opportunity to apply for funds totaling 155 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: up to twenty five percent of of a projects expected costs, 156 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: with a cap of two hundred and fifty million dollars, 157 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: which kind of makes you scratch your head over some 158 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: of the asks in here, But I was thinking of 159 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: I think it was Jay that called the other day 160 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: who was lamenting this. The the the high school stadiums 161 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: out there in the world that are all building these 162 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: opulent facilities that you know probably should be on a 163 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: professional level build, but at least college type stuff.

I mean, here's the thing, 220 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 9: like if the police chief, you know, and I don't 221 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 9: want to get like two technical, but she's making about 222 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 9: two hundred and three thousand dollars a year, right, yeah, 223 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 9: so something like that right about she's been on leave 224 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 9: at least it's like the end. 225 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 11: Of October, yes, sir, maybe, and. 226 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 9: Like now we got it exits until martch thirty. First. 227 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 9: I mean the chief is not I don't dislike the chief, Okay, 228 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 9: I will get from a financial staffy the taxpayer. I mean, 229 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 9: if we're giving her what a quarter of her salary 230 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 9: for just stay at home? Yeah, that puts it about 231 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 9: what you give it her fifty thousand dollars plus well 232 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 9: forty nine that was given to a law firm. It's 233 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 9: ninety nine. There are six figures right down. 234 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: And don't overlook the fact that we have to pay 235 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: the new chief, the interim chief. I suppose maybe he 236 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: got a raise to the chief salary because taking over 237 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: the chief job. 238 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 9: Well, I hope so it desarves it certainly, you know, 239 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 9: I don't want to know it mars the interim. But 240 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 9: this has become a total way shot. And when is 241 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 9: it in. 242 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: I guess when they run out of money to pay 243 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: the law firm for its ongoing investigation into the reasons 244 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: why they put her on administrative leave. Yeah, you're you're 245 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: being perplexed. Is exactly how everybody feels about this with lards, 246 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, that's why I'm laughing. How in the hell 247 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: do we find ourselves in this position? Oh that's right. 248 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: Elections have consequences. More people paid attention to what's he's 249 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: that one issue might leave people scratching their heads like, well, 250 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: maybe we went down the wrong path here, maybe we 251 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: should have gone with all. I don't know, Corey Bowman 252 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: or something. Day. Welcome to the show. Happy Friday to you, man. 253 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: I was hoping i'd hear from you this morning. 254 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's sometimes it's funny. 255 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: Man. 256 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 12: You mentioned my name and I don't listen. You think 257 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 12: i'd listen like all the time, And I tried to 258 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 12: do as much as I can. But hey, I just 259 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 12: have a couple of ideas on the one billion dollars 260 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 12: for the state of Ohio. 261 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: I thought you might. 262 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 12: I think, yeah, let's just say we take twenty million. 263 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 12: I'm just going to throw a number out there, just 264 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 12: a small fraction of the billion, and we go fix 265 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 12: the very hard problem. 266 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 4: That Keith Faber talked about, which you know there's. 267 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 12: Eighty eight counties. The medicaid fraud, the sixteen billion in 268 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 12: medicaid fraud is because we have different computer systems in 269 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 12: eighty eight counties, as he mentioned on your show a 270 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 12: couple of years ago, and it looks like work, and 271 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 12: he'd rather not and it's really not his job. Any 272 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 12: other questions, but if we were to take a couple 273 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 12: hundred million and put the best computer system that the 274 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 12: world has ever seen in across eighty eight counties a 275 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 12: couple one hundred million dollars with the payoff of sixteen 276 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 12: billion dollars of medicaid fraud that we would solve. That's 277 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 12: a pretty good payoff, it is, and that's something that 278 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 12: would would help all tax fairs. 279 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: And you could offer us because everybody's got their own 280 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: way of doing things in each county, let's assume that 281 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: is that is lawful, and that is we can't as 282 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: a state intrude upon any given counties particular computer program. 283 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: You could offer it as a dangling carerative incentive. Here 284 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: we have grant money for you to upgrade your computer system. 285 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: And if you do it and in line with what 286 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: we're asking, you're going to get the money to do it. 287 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: Maybe it'll soften the blow for any given county they 288 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: don't have the money. Here's the money for you, and 289 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: here we'll egg them on and nudge them a little 290 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: bit further to making the right choice. And you know, 291 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: coordinating consolidating a computer system that matches all throughout the 292 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: state so we can ferret out the fraud, waste and abuse. 293 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: Jay I love the idea. It's better than giving. Oh, 294 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't you mentioned real quickly the twenty million dollars 295 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: that would be what the Cleveland Soccer Group is asking 296 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: for its h let's see here help construct the South 297 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: Gateway stadium. But you talk about a couple one hundred million, 298 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: that's exactly what the Hamilton County wants for the pay 299 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: Court Stadium upgrade. So you're you're in the right area 300 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: in terms of money. Not quite sure how much it 301 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: would cost to put those kinds of systems in, but 302 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: I think even at a billion dollars, it's a much 303 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: better allocation of resources, Jay, because it's going to bear 304 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: fruit and there will be a return on investment that 305 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: is purely documentable, not speculative, like how much money a 306 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: stadium's going to bring into a neighborhood. 307 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 11: Yeah. 308 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 12: And with the rest of it, I would dissolve the 309 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 12: state of Ohio. I would have a team of lawyers 310 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 12: and then we'd become Florida North. And that's how you 311 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 12: cut off the head of the snake. And then I 312 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 12: would think, maybe if there's some left at hire Ron 313 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 12: DeSantis and say please run for governor, and then I 314 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 12: think maybe we take some and we tell Chuck Schumer, 315 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 12: why don't you jump over to the Republican party and 316 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 12: teach him how to fight? Because I have a feeling 317 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 12: he's just a whore for money. But the guy wins 318 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 12: every battle he gets into. And maybe he could train 319 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 12: the Republicans for you know, how to win politically or something. 320 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: Anyway, a student option. 321 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 12: Vote Democrat, don't vote Rhino, and have a good day, Brian. 322 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: Thanks brother, good hear for you have that great weekend 323 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: five twenty six. Right now, you can chime in if 324 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: you like. Got local stories coming up as well. Oh, look, 325 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: ninety students facing charges after breaking on into the Kroger 326 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: and unleashing chaos because they walked out of school to 327 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: protest things in real quick. First off, going back to 328 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: the unclaimed funds and all these sports complexes got their 329 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: hand in the cookie jar, assuming they get these grants approved, 330 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: your money going to them. It's unclaimed funds here in 331 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: the state of Ohio, one billion of which and there's 332 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: a whole lot more in the unclaimed funds pile. Here's 333 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: here's an interesting one. The first Baptist church in Shelby 334 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: County submitted to request for three quarters of a million 335 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: dollars to help construct the Kingdom Sports Complex. So I 336 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: told Joey, remember how much Jesus was really into sports, 337 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 1: and I joked around. I said, remember the lacrosse team 338 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: that Jesus played on. That's first thing in came to 339 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: my mind. Joe made a better point, he goes, No, 340 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: he was like water polo, particularly side flitting for me, 341 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: because of course, being a swimmer, as part of the 342 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: training you play water polo is you know, to for 343 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: the for the exercise and for the muscle blowing and 344 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: all that. We played water polo a lot, and it's 345 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: not a necessarily easy sports to play, sport to play, 346 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: so of course Jesus has a major advantage from playing 347 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: water polo. Tom, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Friday 348 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: to you man. 349 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 13: You guys are a riot. 350 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: Oh my god, you should.

She said, ship 358 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: sinking ship. That's not what my brain heard. So anyway, 359 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: Tom Jack, go ahead. 360 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 13: Oh, I mean, I think I think Joe could probably 361 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 13: put the podcast together, just the banter back and forth 362 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 13: between the two years. 363 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: We could get millions and Joe Tracker would would produce 364 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: that podcast for anybody. 365 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 13: Yes, right there you go. It's another shameless fuck Amen, 366 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 13: good stuff, good enough. 367 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: I am not compensated for. 368 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 13: One of the many reasons that we all tune into 369 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 13: this show in the mornings though. 370 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 371 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 13: So, uh, this whole billion dollars sitting there, I'm I'm 372 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 13: not past a part of the unclaimed funds thing yet, 373 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 13: mean unclaimed funds, So there's that much money that people 374 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 13: fail to claim. I'm just I'm having a hard time wrapping. 375 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: My head around I honestly, I'm going from recollection, So 376 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: don't accuse me of being an idiot. I'm going from recollection. 377 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: It's my recollection that it's like, for example, outstanding unclaimed 378 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: lottery tickets, closed bank accounts which have been dormant and 379 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: unclaimed for some period of time. The money defaults into 380 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: the Unclaimed Funds fund and apparently the state is at 381 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: liberty to use it however at once. So there may 382 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 1: be an unconstitutional taking involved in there, but I'll let 383 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: others argue that in court if they choose. 384 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 13: Okay, I mean, I get I guess that could happen. 385 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 13: So but yeah, all right, so we've got to We've 386 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 13: got this big pot of money, and of course you 387 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 13: got everybody wanting to get their grubby little paws into it. 388 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 13: So if it, yeah, if it is money that the 389 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 13: state has a legal right to have and do as 390 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 13: they wish with, yes, then yes we should start at 391 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 13: the top of the list of things that they are 392 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 13: legally obligated to do. And supporting sports is not something 393 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 13: that I mean, I'm not sure if Jay would agree 394 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 13: with this, but sports stadiums is not something that's ne 395 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 13: or city entities to feel they're responsible to take care of. 396 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 13: That's that's ridiculous, especially if you're talking about you're you're 397 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 13: you're helping with a stadium of an entity that is 398 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 13: a for profit and that's that's absurd that we should 399 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 13: be doing that. And really, I mean, if you're in 400 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 13: business to make money for yourself, your family, or corporation, whatever, 401 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 13: then that's on you to figure out how to make 402 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 13: that money, how to make that work. Now, if it's 403 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 13: if it's a school, if it's a state run school, 404 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 13: and we want to make sure we provide the things 405 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 13: that the students need, and then okay, now we're at 406 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 13: least now we're gabbling in the area of something that 407 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 13: the state is responsible for. But the Toledo mud Hen, 408 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 13: the Cincinnati Bengals that you know FC Cincinnati State has. 409 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: No Cavaliers, Cleveland Guardians, Cleveland Soccer Group all right, Clark 410 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: County Convention Facilities Authority for there's Champion City Sports and 411 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: Community Wellness Center, Columbus Clippers, I mean, Toledo mud Hens. 412 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: Atomic Speedway Foundation is kind of a good one.

Yeah, that is apropos to what 416 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 13: we're dealing with, a bunch of monkey business. 417 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 3: These people are being ridiculous. 418 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 11: I forget. 419 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: There's two components to this. We're presently in the middle 420 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: of the fall the Roman Empire, it's bred and the circuses. 421 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: This is the circus part that they're worried about funding 422 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: right now. 423 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 13: Tom of course, of course.

A naked guy and he clearly had some 540 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: kind of weapon. I immediately called nine to one.

Apparently Joe Strecker had closed some account. 668 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: He was a subscription account and there was a dollar 669 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: twenty seven in it that was going to the unclaimed 670 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 1: funds file. So he searched his name, found that he 671 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,959 Speaker 1: was He had a dollar twenty seven and there filled 672 00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: out the paperwork. They wrote him a check and he 673 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: kept for everybody else out there, including my friend Aaron, 674 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: who sent me an email this morning saying, Hey, I 675 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: tried to claim one hundred and fifty dollars of mine 676 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: out of that fund. I just didn't have sufficient paperwork 677 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: and so my claim was denied. Anyway, for all the 678 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 1: Joes and the Aaron's out there, successful or not, that 679 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: money is in a big pile the state of Ohio says, Hey, 680 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: where do we spend it? That's why I was asking 681 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 1: sort of an out loud question this morning. If you 682 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: were in charge of money, and you know, the list 683 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: of programs is endless that aren't funded, that haven't been 684 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: addressed by our lawmakers because there just isn't enough resources 685 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: to do whatever it is you want. Hey, here's a 686 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: billion dollars, let's give it too. The Akron Baseball Club, 687 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: Cavaliers Operating Company, Cleveland Guardians Baseball, Cleveland Soccer Group, Collide Neo. 688 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: That's a request and update Lake County Captain Stadium. Every 689 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: one of these involved some sort of sports program. Columbus 690 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: Clippers Clark County Convention Facilities Authority to ask for five 691 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: and a half million for a to construct the Champion 692 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 1: City Sport and Community. Well, that sounds great. That's in Springfield. 693 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: Dayton Dragons won a renovation of the day Air Credit 694 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: Union Ballpark. Faith Baptist Church. This is a good one. 695 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: Remember all the sports Jesus played asking for three quarters 696 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: of a million dollars to construct the Kingdom Sports Complex. 697 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: Just director suggested Jesus was a water polo player. FC 698 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: Cincinnati one hundred and thirty six million is they're asked 699 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: for the TQL Stadium expansion project. Franklin County Convention is 700 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 1: a facility authority only one hundred thousand dollars for the 701 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: Columbus Blue Jackets nationwide arena in Columbus. It goes on 702 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: and on, including yes pay Court Stadium. Hamilton Counties asked 703 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: for two hundred and thirty four million dollars for renovations 704 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: there the Monkey Business Park Corp. Wherever that is, Mollmee 705 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: specifically one hundred or ten thousand dollars. It's a small ask. 706 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: They need new safety mats and flooring. And you know what, 707 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: I got to give credit. Drews Schofield over at WCPO 708 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: did the reporting on this. That's how I have the list, 709 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: and I thought this was really extra comical. He noted 710 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 1: that there was an application from Massachusetts, even some a 711 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: student observer. Oh, look, they got a giant pile of 712 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: money in Ohio, they're handing it out. I go ahead 713 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 1: and throw a request in. The fools are the one 714 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: that's not looking out for his own best interest, so 715 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: why not ask. All they can do is say no, Well, 716 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't meet the requirements of the program. So the 717 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 1: Massachusetts ask is going to be denied. But all these 718 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 1: other ones are legitimate asks. Apparently, will they get the 719 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: allocated funds? Will they get the requested funds? Rather not necessarily, 720 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: these are in a state of flux. But it just fright, 721 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: quite frankly, in a world of finite resources where we're 722 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: all seeing swimming in a sea of debt from federal 723 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: levels down to the state and cities like Cincinnati. You 724 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 1: scratch your head and wonder, what in the hell are 725 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: these clowns thinking. Why did they fund that particular program 726 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: which doesn't seem like it's going to give us a 727 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: great ROI as taxpayers, When, for example, the city of 728 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: Sinceinna has a thirty one million dollar hole it needs 729 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: to fill. Huh, where would you spend a billion dollars? 730 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,399 Speaker 1: Let's see what Okie's got Oki welcome in the morning show. 731 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 11: Happy Friday, Well, happy Friday. 732 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 9: Back at you, sir, thank you. 733 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 11: To answer your question, No, I would not be giving 734 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 11: into a way to sports complexes. I would be making 735 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 11: an effort to give a hold of the people that 736 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 11: it actually belongs to. People were called and said, you 737 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 11: know they well, gentle and his dollar twenty seven, He 738 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 11: got his people who got you know, one hundred and 739 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 11: fifty two hundred dollars in there, and they make it 740 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 11: impossible to get it. My question for you is is 741 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 11: there any do they have any legal recourse? I know 742 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 11: they've made some kind of stupid law where they can 743 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 11: get away with this, but to the people who know 744 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,240 Speaker 11: they've got money in there, do they have any recourse 745 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 11: whatsoever to stop this nonsense. Well, some kind of class 746 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 11: action lawsuit and get their money. 747 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: I can only answer that question on a theoretical basis 748 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: because I don't know how the law is written. Like, 749 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: for example, I know that that there are specific documents 750 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: you've got to have to prove that it's your money. 751 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: But if you have documents and you have sufficient evidentiary 752 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: proof that, if you were in a court of law 753 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 1: making a claim for the money, you could prove beyond 754 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: our you know, by a preponderance of the evidence that 755 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 1: it is your money, you get the money back. Now, 756 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: why would it be any different if it's sitting in 757 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: a fund in Ohio. If you think you've got sufficient 758 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: funds and you can maybe sue the state of Ohio 759 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: because I gave them what I believe to be sufficient 760 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: information to prove that money as mine, they have an 761 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: obligation to return it to me and have a judge, 762 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, to make a determination on that costly. Yes, 763 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: could Joe Strecker go to court theoretically to do that 764 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: to get his dollar twenty seven back, But let's face it, 765 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 1: the expense of filing and you know it just even 766 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: time getting to the courthouse. You want to represent yourself. 767 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's no, I'm not going to do that. 768 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even do it for one hundred and fifty bucks. 769 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: And maybe that's how they end up with billions of 770 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: dollars in unclaimed funds. They've either made it so difficult 771 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: to get the money out because they're worried about fraud. 772 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 1: I think about the joke of that one, or it's 773 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,399 Speaker 1: just tiny amounts that just aren't worth the effort. Maybe 774 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 1: oki just an ad campaign that wouldn't cost that much. Hey, 775 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: did you know in the state of Ohio we have 776 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: an unclaimed funds pile of money. This could be you 777 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: go ahead and search on the online search engine to 778 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: see if there's any money in there. That's how Joe 779 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: found out he had a buck twenty seven coming to him. 780 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: It wouldn't cost much money to do that. But in 781 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: the final analysis, the most troubling thing is not so 782 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: much that they have this pile of money, but that 783 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: this or these are what they want. These, these projects, 784 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: these all sports related projects, are what they want. The 785 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: money to go toward six hundred million for the Cleveland Browns. Folks, 786 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: let that sink in. I was reeling from the moment 787 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 1: I read that the first time. We're going back a 788 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 1: little while. Six hundred million dollars. Eh, let's see what 789 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: CJ's got. CJ. Welcome in the morning show. Happy Friday, Oh. 790 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 16: Happy Friday to you as well. But before I get 791 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 16: to what I called about in Colraine, there is CJ's 792 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 16: over the line tournament that never happens. 793 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 8: I would like to get. 794 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 16: About four hundred thousand dollars out of this fond but yes, 795 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 16: exactly in reality here what the biggest story of that 796 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 16: nobody talking about is the Iranians allegedly and reportedly took 797 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 16: down one of our most expensive drones over this rate 798 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 16: or four moves with electronic weaponry supplied by China, now. 799 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 3: Yes, by China. 800 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 16: And the reality is this, in twenty nineteen, we almost 801 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 16: militarily attacked Iran because they took down he'd grown with 802 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 16: with one of their fighter jets. 803 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,280 Speaker 9: Today, Hakabe sent out. 804 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 16: An email to all of the Israeli embassy thing, if 805 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,080 Speaker 16: you want to get out, you've got to get out today. 806 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 16: We noticed yesterday that or for the last two days, 807 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 16: the Indian Prime Minister Mundy was in Israel. He is 808 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 16: now officially out, so probably the clock is ticking on Iran, 809 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 16: and I am not necessarily against it. There's a lot 810 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,720 Speaker 16: of things I question about this whole They have nuclear weapons. 811 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 16: That messaging is not good messaging. The other thing is 812 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,839 Speaker 16: Trump still has not prepared America for what we are at. 813 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 9: If you go back to the First Golf War, George H. W. 814 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 16: Bush had what I forget it was hundreds of thousands 815 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 16: of body bags in to Kwait, and America was prepared 816 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 16: that it could be very, very deadly. 817 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 3: George W. 818 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 16: Bush did a lot of the same things with Iraq 819 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,240 Speaker 16: in two thousand and two. We're not prepared to something 820 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 16: bad accidentally happens here. And I've said this number of 821 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,319 Speaker 16: times on your show now, and I know that at 822 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 16: six o'clock there are not a lot of people in Washington, 823 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 16: DC or in Cincinnati listening, but they. 824 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: Am surprised to get this messaging down. 825 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,400 Speaker 16: They've got to get this messaging down that the American 826 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 16: people need to be prepared that if something really bad happens, 827 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 16: that we are mentally prepared for that we're not, and 828 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 16: it could. You know, if we think these little ice 829 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 16: walkouts from high school students have been bad, man, imagine 830 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 16: if something horrible happens over there, what those protests are 831 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 16: going to look like, and it just it concerns me 832 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 16: that we have not been mentally. 833 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: Prepared for this well. And honestly, I think it goes 834 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: beyond mental preparedness. I mean, yeah, there should be a 835 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: lot of information about there, like, for example, what Daniel 836 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,439 Speaker 1: Davis says about this situation. He said, this is going 837 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: to be outrageous. This is going to be something that's 838 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: going to drag on for years and years. There's going 839 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: to be a tremendous amount of loss of life. There's 840 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: gonna be massive damage to our various military facilities. I mean, 841 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: can you imagine if a drone They have drone submarines, 842 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 1: now they have drone boats, they have drone this, that 843 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: and the other thing, Shoulder launched rockets and stuff. Can 844 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: you imagine if those clowns were capable of maybe sinking 845 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 1: one of our aircraft carriers. You know, that's that's certainly conceivable. 846 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: Ask Cribbage Mike, my submariner friend. He calls boats targets. 847 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,320 Speaker 1: It's something that's easy to envision. That's why I was 848 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: pleased to hear Congressman Warren Davison yesterday in the Morning Show, 849 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:18,280 Speaker 1: following up with a post on ex war requires congressional authorizations. 850 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 1: There are actions short of war, but no case has 851 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: been made. No case has been made. I think that's 852 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: further to your point, Sir, six sixteen fifty five car, 853 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: see the talk station Cleveland.

Keith 907 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: he said we should use it on learing centers channeling 908 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,879 Speaker 1: you Gary, And I said, Lord knows we need those 909 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 1: here in Ohio. Isn't that for sure? Yes, a billion 910 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 1: dollars already got them Weekend Weekend Warrior Project. I think 911 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: that's a better use of the money. Quite frankly, that Gary, 912 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 1: take care of brother.

Now 915 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: the question is are there any other programs, because we 916 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 1: already I have a whole bunch of them that are 917 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,880 Speaker 1: supposed to, you know, feed the poor and how's the 918 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,240 Speaker 1: homeless and that kind of thing. So billion dollars sports. 919 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 1: I just think we need to ask this legitimate question, 920 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: should government be in the business of sports? I can't 921 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: find a reason why that will be the case.

Here's 939 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 1: a terrible illustration of exactly what you're talking about. Fortunately, 940 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:11,960 Speaker 1: at least this guy was honest about it and didn't 941 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: use it for nefarious purposes. Let my listeners know, Dave. 942 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 1: Welcome back. 943 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, Brian, great, great intro. As always, thanks for having me, 944 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 8: and yeah, I've been on this particular story now for 945 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,759 Speaker 8: several days, posted it all over my social media, and 946 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 8: you know I will frequently try to share these stories 947 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,880 Speaker 8: and use them to show people why the Internet of 948 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 8: things aka so called smart devices, which are actually rather dumb, 949 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 8: as evidenced yet again by this story, to just point 950 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 8: out why you don't want this stuff. So before I 951 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,240 Speaker 8: get into the details, let me just simplify this for everyone. 952 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,399 Speaker 8: Almost all of these so called smart devices come from China. 953 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 8: They're full of software that no one has vetted. They 954 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 8: could have back doors, and if nothing else, all kinds 955 00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 8: of security vulnerabilities. They typically will not be managed or maintained. 956 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 8: The software anyway for more than a couple of years 957 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,800 Speaker 8: as they move on to a new product. So you know, 958 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 8: we've been doing this show for over ten years, Brian. 959 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 1: It's not just me. 960 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 8: Look at the DHS, FBI, Microsoft, Google, Apple, anyone will 961 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 8: tell you. You know, software vulnerabilities are one of the 962 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 8: ways bad guys get any You have to patch your software. Well, 963 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 8: when they stop making updates for it, how do you 964 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 8: patch it right right now? You're in the legacy bucket. 965 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,760 Speaker 8: People don't understand this. They don't know how to configure 966 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,439 Speaker 8: these things correctly. But the big problem, besides the fact 967 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,279 Speaker 8: that almost all of this is coming from China, is 968 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 8: that it's not designed with your privacy and security in mind, 969 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 8: and in fact, in many cases it's the opposite. Now, 970 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,359 Speaker 8: it's designed with speed to market, market share, easy abuse 971 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,160 Speaker 8: in data collection in mind. So this this particular guy 972 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,359 Speaker 8: again popular science magazine. This isn't like ten foil hat 973 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 8: magazine or something like that. 974 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,360 Speaker 1: Listen, I didn't somebody sent me a meme about this. 975 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: I didn't believe it at first, because I don't believe 976 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,319 Speaker 1: anything anymore. So I immediately started searching and found yes, 977 00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 1: this is actually a genuine thing, and one of the 978 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,840 Speaker 1: reasons I gave Popular Science at least credit for some 979 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,280 Speaker 1: measure of credibility. They were the ones reporting on it. Anyway, 980 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:04,919 Speaker 1: go ahead, David. 981 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 8: So, so this particular guy is a software engineer, so 982 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 8: he's got some technical skill, right. He bought a now, 983 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 8: wait for it, two thousand dollars robot vacuum. I can't 984 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 8: imagine why you'd pay two thousand dollars for one of 985 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 8: these things. 986 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,840 Speaker 1: A six thousand dollars toilet, Dave, Yeah, you know. 987 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 8: Brian, I wouldn't pay two dollars for one of these. 988 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 8: But nevertheless, he buys one of these, and he decides 989 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,840 Speaker 8: that it would be fun as a little side project 990 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 8: for himself to try to steer the thing around using 991 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,880 Speaker 8: a video game controller, right, right, So he's going to 992 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,480 Speaker 8: reverse engineer it. And as he gets into it and 993 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 8: starts to fool with it, he realizes that the robot 994 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 8: is talking to the company that makes it. Dji've never 995 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,719 Speaker 8: heard of them talks to their cloud servers, right, So 996 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 8: it's connected to the Internet through his Wi Fi. Obviously, 997 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 8: the thing moves around. It doesn't have a cord necessarily, right, 998 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 8: and it's it's communicating back to their servers. Now, one 999 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 8: could ask, why does the robot vacuum which is just 1000 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,080 Speaker 8: sweeping need to communicate with their servers? Well, you know 1001 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 8: one answer, one legitimate answer. Well, you want to want 1002 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 8: it to get software updates, but you know it might 1003 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 8: be mapping your house. Who knows what it's doing? Does 1004 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,280 Speaker 8: it have a camera and a microphone? Is it listening 1005 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 8: to you? Who knows? 1006 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:15,520 Speaker 13: Right? 1007 00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 8: So he gets into it and he discovers that. Now 1008 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 8: I'm reading directly from the article. While building his own 1009 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 8: remote control app, this guy reportedly used an AI coding 1010 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,320 Speaker 8: assistant to help reverse engineer how the robot communicated with 1011 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 8: their cloud servers. He soon discovered that the same credentials 1012 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,360 Speaker 8: US your name and password. This is a common problem 1013 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 8: embedded in the business. We call it secrets us your 1014 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 8: name and password in the code so that it can 1015 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 8: talk to their servers. He discovers the same credentials that 1016 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,720 Speaker 8: allow him to see and control his own device also 1017 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 8: provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio maps, and 1018 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 8: status data from nearly seven thousand other vacuums across twenty 1019 00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 8: four countries. Now, this guy, yeah reports. Imagine if this 1020 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 8: were a hacker who wanted to steal your information or 1021 00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 8: wanted to use their access to this device to get 1022 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,319 Speaker 8: to your other devices or possibly eventually to your bank 1023 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:13,239 Speaker 8: or to your work. 1024 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: Well you can mention all that, but they have access 1025 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,320 Speaker 1: to the cameras on the things they could spy on you. 1026 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 1: Maybe some creepy pedophile wants to look at your twelve 1027 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: year old daughter or something. 1028 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:28,360 Speaker 8: Yes, or again, imagine if this weren't just a robot vacuum. 1029 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 8: Imagine if it were, for example, a car that adversarial hackers, 1030 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,360 Speaker 8: a nation state actor like China could take over, and 1031 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 8: the day that they decide to launch an attack on Taiwan, 1032 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 8: they make every one of those cars missiles. 1033 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: They could yeh, drive them into power stations, right, you 1034 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:47,879 Speaker 1: know anything. 1035 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,800 Speaker 8: This article and this is not the first time something 1036 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 8: like this has come up. This is just the most 1037 00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 8: recent time. When I shared these things, I'll usually come 1038 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 8: up with some sort of snarky comment like reason number 1039 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 8: one million and seven why you don't want this garbage? 1040 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,719 Speaker 1: Okay, So, yet again. 1041 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 8: Yet again, we have an example of these things being 1042 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 8: built in a way that they are inherently insecure. I mean, 1043 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 8: even the most basic person, even most basic cybersecurity person, 1044 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:24,040 Speaker 8: knows you should not store credentials, use your names, passwords, tokens, 1045 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,240 Speaker 8: anything that would give you access like that in the code. 1046 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 8: This is like one oh one type stuff, right, but 1047 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 8: it comes up over and over again. Now I'm not 1048 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,879 Speaker 8: suggesting in this case this was done in a nefarious way. 1049 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 8: The problem is many software engineers are not trained on 1050 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 8: security at all. They don't care about security. They care 1051 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 8: about against Did I get it done on budget? Did 1052 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,759 Speaker 8: I get it done on time? These companies do not 1053 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 8: care about your privacy or security. They care about selling 1054 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 8: you their cheap, garbage spyware. And yet here is another 1055 00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,319 Speaker 8: example of it well documented or. 1056 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,960 Speaker 1: Gotta take a break. We're way over time and Joe 1057 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,319 Speaker 1: Strekker is yelling in my headset. We'll continue with Dave 1058 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 1: Hatter talk a whole interest, it dot Com, Jimmy Care, 1059 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,600 Speaker 1: fireplaces up. I always say they do literally everything related 1060 00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 1: to chimneys and fireplaces. Tim you know, literally, I can 1061 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:13,080 Speaker 1: do the. 1062 00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:14,080 Speaker 7: Talk station. 1063 00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,920 Speaker 1: If you do about KRCD talk station. We call it 1064 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,400 Speaker 1: tech Friday with Dave Hatter. Listen to what Dave has 1065 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 1: to say, including when he says no, I'm a no. 1066 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,160 Speaker 1: There's a quote I saw this article about the mayor 1067 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 1: of Fort Wright, and they were discussing the contract with 1068 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: Flock Safety, which aggregates your personal ring camera, doorbells and 1069 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 1: consolidates them for the purposes of safety, and the mayor 1070 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 1: over there, some guy named Dave Hatter said, I'm a 1071 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 1: know nothing you say will convince me. Unless you all 1072 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,720 Speaker 1: have a super majority, this is dead. I will veto this. 1073 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 1: I think we're talking about the same kind of concept here, 1074 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 1: aren't we, Dave Hatter, mayor. 1075 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 8: Oh Brian, We are talking about the same kind of concept, 1076 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 8: which is my issue with this. So you know, flock 1077 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 8: cameras have popped up all around the country. They've come in, 1078 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 8: there are a lot of fire In fact, you may 1079 00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 8: recall after the Super Bowl a flock and Ring had 1080 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 8: some kind of partnership to you, and then the ring 1081 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 8: ad that freaked everyone out with the lost dog finding 1082 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 8: capability has thrown cold water on that. And you know, 1083 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 8: I've done a lot of research on this over time, 1084 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 8: but I have fundamental issues with the concept of this 1085 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 8: and the idea of this Orwellian digital surveillance state we're 1086 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 8: building all under the guise of convenience and safety. I 1087 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 8: know we'll run out of time because I can get 1088 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 8: ranting on this, just like I did the last segment, 1089 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 8: and a great segue from the last segment about the 1090 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,080 Speaker 8: Internet of things. I mean, these are Internet of things 1091 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,320 Speaker 8: devices in general, folks. Anything that is smart, anything that 1092 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 8: is connected to the Internet, is an Internet of Things 1093 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 8: device in the most general sense. Right There's a guy 1094 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,439 Speaker 8: that I think it was in Wired magazine. I don't 1095 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:54,680 Speaker 8: have it in front of me, went out and was 1096 00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,280 Speaker 8: able to hack one of these things and actually see 1097 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 8: himself standing in front of the camera. And I'm pretty 1098 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 8: sure it's in Wired magazine. I'll post it in my 1099 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 8: notes today. But the way these things work and all 1100 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 8: the back end surveillance and so forth, I totally understand 1101 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 8: the argument of why people think these are good. Right, Hey, 1102 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 8: it might help us find a lost person, it may 1103 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 8: help us capture a criminal. I get all of that. Okay, However, 1104 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 8: I'm going to go back to our boy Benjamin Franklin, 1105 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 8: who said, you know, he who gives up safety for 1106 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 8: liberty liberty for safety, deserves neither. I'm paraphrasing. I mean, 1107 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 8: we are, we are building a digital surveillance state, and 1108 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 8: people like the ACLU, the eff most people who have 1109 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 8: spent any time really studying these things are not fans 1110 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 8: right now. Again, again, I get a lot of your 1111 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 8: listeners like the ACLU. I don't agree with them on 1112 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 8: versus anything. Well, just go read what they tell you 1113 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 8: about this, okay, again, take any of the politics out 1114 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 8: of it for a second, Electronic Frontier Foundation, just read 1115 00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 8: what they have to say about these things. 1116 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 1: So this came up. 1117 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, typically, I am very fortunate that on 1118 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 8: our city council we have six members and we all 1119 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 8: generally see things the same way. We have a simple 1120 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,240 Speaker 8: objective here and Fort Right for the most part, we 1121 01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 8: want to leave you alone and let's keep your own money. 1122 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,240 Speaker 8: That's what we're trying to do here. That's what we've 1123 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,440 Speaker 8: been doing for a long time. Ya, for anyone, that's 1124 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 8: for anyone that's looking to live in a place where 1125 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 8: you'll be left alone and get to keep most of 1126 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 8: your own money. Right is your place. Our tax rate 1127 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 8: is the lowest it's been since two thousand and eight. Bryan, 1128 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 8: and I'm part of. 1129 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 1: The right there. We trusted with Zipbra, We're trusted with 1130 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 1: your money, will leave you alone. Welcome to Fort Wright. 1131 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. So this came up again. I understand why 1132 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,320 Speaker 8: some people are interested. So you know, I did a 1133 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,280 Speaker 8: lot of research. I sent out a lot of information. 1134 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,160 Speaker 8: One of the things and I think you and I 1135 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 8: have talked about this over the years, and again I'll 1136 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 8: put all this in my my show notes. Frank Church, 1137 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:54,560 Speaker 8: the Church Committee back in the seventies, Okay, he was 1138 01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 8: a US senator. There was some potential abuses of the 1139 01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 8: surveillance state at that time, and there was this big committee. 1140 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,680 Speaker 8: Now there's a video from the seventies of him talking 1141 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 8: about this, and this is it's all well document if 1142 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 8: you know where to look. Most people don't know about this. 1143 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,560 Speaker 8: There's a video, and there's the subject to the video, 1144 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 8: Senator Frank Church quote, there is nowhere to hide from 1145 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 8: government surveillance, from the government's surveillance state unquote. That was 1146 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 8: nineteen seventy five, long before any of this stuff. Now, 1147 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 8: think about the capabilities today, think about what was exposed 1148 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 8: by Edward Snowden, and before we run out of time, 1149 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,120 Speaker 8: there's a great quote from Snowden. I use it all 1150 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 8: the time, arguing that you don't care about privacy because 1151 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 8: you have nothing to hide. Is no difference in saying 1152 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 8: you don't care about free speech because you have nothing 1153 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 8: to say. Edward Snowden, I am just fundamentally against this stuff. Again, 1154 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 8: all the arguments for it, I understand, But when I 1155 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 8: weighed out in my mind and I see where we're going, 1156 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 8: and then we see yet another example of Internet of 1157 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,880 Speaker 8: Things devices being used in ways you didn't anticipate, being hacked, 1158 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,919 Speaker 8: being controlled by foreign nation state actors. Imagine if again, 1159 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 8: the day China decides to take to attack Taiwan, in 1160 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 8: addition to all kinds of other attacks on the grid, 1161 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 8: attacks on the IoT, they were able to use these 1162 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 8: cameras for surveillance purposes to launch other types of attacks 1163 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 8: of some sort. 1164 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Certainly we envision that easily. 1165 01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,280 Speaker 8: We're throwing so much of this stuff into our environment 1166 01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 8: with little thought to privacy or security. Much of it 1167 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 8: is garbage, and for all of those reasons, I'm like, 1168 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 8: you know, sorry, guys, there's no convincing I'm against this. 1169 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 8: We're not doing it as long as I have a say, well, 1170 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 8: it's end of story. 1171 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 1: In the name of security, we're giving up security. There's 1172 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 1: an interesting test on this. Let's continue with Dave Hatter 1173 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 1: and find out if the talk station six. If you 1174 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: want to think you have KRCD talk Station Happy Friday. 1175 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 1: One more segment with Dave Hatter Intrust dot Com. Get 1176 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 1: Dave and the crew on the job your business Computer Needs. 1177 01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: Business Career says they are the best in the business. 1178 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:57,840 Speaker 1: Dave Hatter, We've got one more thing to talk about, 1179 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 1: and that is artificial intelligence making work more efficient. Yeah, 1180 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 1: so real quick, Brime. 1181 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,320 Speaker 8: I just want to say, when you understand how to 1182 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 8: use these AI tools that are out there, and you 1183 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,280 Speaker 8: understand what they can and can't do right, the hallucinations 1184 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:17,680 Speaker 8: and all that sort of thing, that you can vastly 1185 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 8: improve your productivity individually as an organization. You know, we 1186 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 8: use these things internally at Intrust in carefully designed ways. 1187 01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,240 Speaker 8: You know, we're not just throwing everything at it and 1188 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 8: hoping that it. 1189 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 1: Produces correct results. In that sort of thing. 1190 01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 8: Again, you've got hallucinations, you have privacy issues with the 1191 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,960 Speaker 8: data you're putting in these things. These things, to some 1192 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,440 Speaker 8: extent can be solved. And again, I just want to 1193 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,680 Speaker 8: be clear, when you understand how to use these tools, 1194 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 8: which by the way, is something we can help you with, 1195 01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 8: it can be a huge productivity booster. But there's so 1196 01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,960 Speaker 8: much hype and HYPERBOLEA around all of this and has 1197 01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:56,640 Speaker 8: been now for a couple of years. It's hard to 1198 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 8: know who to believe, what to think about any of 1199 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 8: this stuff. And then you know, recently some of the 1200 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 8: bloom has come off the rows on some of these things. 1201 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,760 Speaker 8: For example, here was an article from Ink magazine. It 1202 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:11,640 Speaker 8: turns out AI agents can't replace experienced humans. That's just 1203 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 8: one of many articles. IBM recently announced they're going to 1204 01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 8: triple their entry level hiring, with the idea that because 1205 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 8: one of the arguments has been okay, entry level jobs 1206 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,840 Speaker 8: are going away because of this stuff. IBM's theory is 1207 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:26,960 Speaker 8: we're going to triple this and we're going to augment 1208 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,320 Speaker 8: these people with AI tools in ways that makes sense 1209 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 8: and work. 1210 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:33,120 Speaker 1: There. 1211 01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 8: So again, there's so much hype around this. Here's another 1212 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,040 Speaker 8: article from Ink magazine. A new report says AI layoffs 1213 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 8: are backfiring and half of companies will start rehiring. The 1214 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,240 Speaker 8: article I think Joe found or maybe I sent him, 1215 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 8: I don't remember which. The Wall Street Journals CEOs say 1216 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 8: AI is making work more efficient, employees tell a different story. 1217 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,440 Speaker 8: And then you know, they've got some results in here 1218 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:58,720 Speaker 8: from a study that was done, So you know, I 1219 01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,480 Speaker 8: think The bottom line is if you understand or your 1220 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 8: organization understands how to use these tools, which ones are 1221 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 8: good at, which things put some guardrails around them. Again, 1222 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 8: think about things like privacy and security. Are employees putting 1223 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 8: sensitive data, whether it's trade secrets or compliant information that 1224 01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:23,520 Speaker 8: would be covered under some sort of compliance or contractual 1225 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 8: arrangements with a customer or partner or whatever. If you're 1226 01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 8: just dumping these into the free online tools, you got 1227 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,280 Speaker 8: a real problem. But there are ways to use private 1228 01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 8: versions of these things, offline versions of these things. There's 1229 01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,000 Speaker 8: this whole agentic AI where they can take some action 1230 01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 8: on their own. That's caused a bunch of controversy and 1231 01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,280 Speaker 8: a bunch of concerns too. These tools can be used 1232 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 8: in a way where you can get significant productivity boosts 1233 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 8: in some ways in certain cases. So again, it's hard 1234 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 8: to know what to think about this stuff at this 1235 01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 8: point because you have all these divergent viewpoints as well 1236 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 8: of people who know way more about this than me, 1237 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,040 Speaker 8: people who've worked in the field building this stuff for years. 1238 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,800 Speaker 8: You know, some are saying the large language model based 1239 01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 8: AI tools we see now, the chat gbt's the world 1240 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,919 Speaker 8: and so forth, are more or less peaked. They can't 1241 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,320 Speaker 8: get better really because of the way they work. They'll 1242 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:21,200 Speaker 8: never get to SENI it artificial AI. And there are 1243 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,520 Speaker 8: others that say, you know, that's going to happen tomorrow. 1244 01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 8: So it's really hard to know what to think, Brian. 1245 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 8: All I know is when you see, you know, many 1246 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,520 Speaker 8: of the studies that have come out, and you see 1247 01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 8: these stories where now companies are starting to rethink, hey, 1248 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,160 Speaker 8: we've gotten rid of a bunch of people because we're 1249 01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,960 Speaker 8: going to use these tools and then perhaps they don't 1250 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 8: work the way we thought they would. You know, I 1251 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 8: think the bottom line in my opinion, based on what 1252 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 8: I see out there with our customers and what people 1253 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 8: are doing. Again, as an organization, if you work with 1254 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,000 Speaker 8: people that actually know how to use these things in 1255 01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 8: a secure, responsible productive way, you can when you arm 1256 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 8: your people with these tools, get some significant productivity increases. 1257 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,320 Speaker 8: But if you just say, oh, here's an account, go 1258 01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,520 Speaker 8: use this, you not only are potentially not going to 1259 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,080 Speaker 8: get a lot of value out of it for these studies, 1260 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 8: but you also are setting yourself up again for privacy 1261 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 8: and compliance issues if people don't understand how these things work, 1262 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 8: where their data might be where the data day input 1263 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,160 Speaker 8: might be going and ultimately what the consequences might be 1264 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 8: from again a legal or regulatory perspective. So it's really 1265 01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,720 Speaker 8: interesting to see all the hype around this, but there 1266 01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,640 Speaker 8: are ways to use this stuff that will make you 1267 01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 8: more efficient and more productive. 1268 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,720 Speaker 1: Well possibility anyway, You just got to know what you're doing, 1269 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,600 Speaker 1: and there in lies the challenge fighting people who know 1270 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 1: what they're doing and the limitations AI. That's what we 1271 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,800 Speaker 1: have you for. Intrust it. Dot COM's where you find 1272 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 1: Dave and the crew for your computer needs and business needs. 1273 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,240 Speaker 1: They can teach your business how to use AI apparently 1274 01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 1: that's what he just said. And find him online for 1275 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 1: all the re source material he use for this segment 1276 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,920 Speaker 1: every week. It's LinkedIn dot com search Dave Hatter and 1277 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: you will find him or just look for the mayor 1278 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 1: for it right, Dave, thank you so much for coming 1279 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,440 Speaker 1: on the program every day.

The Loveland There 1292 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,080 Speaker 1: Whip opens today. You know it's springtime right around the corner, 1293 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,080 Speaker 1: especially with these great temperatures we got. Anyhow you heard 1294 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,760 Speaker 1: top of the our news just I got to double 1295 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:10,679 Speaker 1: down to this, ask an out loud question. North College 1296 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,840 Speaker 1: Hill School District Superintendent Eugene Block announce it. Yes, ninety 1297 01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,639 Speaker 1: students are going to be charged with disorderly conduct. Why 1298 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:20,479 Speaker 1: you may remember, wasn't that long ago February eighteenth. February eighteenth, 1299 01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,559 Speaker 1: a group of teens have described as like I heard 1300 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,400 Speaker 1: like two hundred and fifty. I may have the number wrong, 1301 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,880 Speaker 1: My recollection may be bad. But there was a big 1302 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,840 Speaker 1: group that walked out of school to protest ice and 1303 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,640 Speaker 1: then a subgroup of that left and then engaged in 1304 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:39,599 Speaker 1: what is easily characterized is unruly conduct at Kroger. They're 1305 01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:40,960 Speaker 1: the ones that are going to be charged. I have 1306 01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,680 Speaker 1: a question, what about the students who walked out all 1307 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:47,600 Speaker 1: the rest of them. The superintendent's side of this was 1308 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 1: a breach of the student code of conduct. Students will 1309 01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,800 Speaker 1: receive consequences for violation of the student code of conduct, 1310 01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,280 Speaker 1: referring to the ninety kids who are in the Kroger. 1311 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,760 Speaker 1: But again, what are the broader group? Described it by 1312 01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 1: Fox nineteen Anyway, Matt Shave give you credit for student 1313 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,760 Speaker 1: led walkout, which suggests that the teachers weren't behind it. 1314 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,160 Speaker 1: And if the teachers weren't behind it, is it within 1315 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,600 Speaker 1: the North College Hills School District code of conduct for 1316 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,639 Speaker 1: kids that just on their own get up and walk 1317 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 1: out of school asking for a friend? Also ongoing question. 1318 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:21,800 Speaker 1: You can feel free to shout out and give your suggestions. 1319 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:24,600 Speaker 1: If you had a billion dollars and you were in 1320 01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,479 Speaker 1: charge of, you know, taxpayer dollars and deciding what programs 1321 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,040 Speaker 1: get funded and what don't, and you realize that you 1322 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: have an unclaimed funds pile of money exceeding billion dollars, 1323 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,200 Speaker 1: I think it's much larger than that. Would you create 1324 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,360 Speaker 1: an Ohio Sports Facility Grant program and give people the 1325 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 1: opportunity to tap into the unclaimed funds for the purpose 1326 01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:46,200 Speaker 1: of building sporting complexes. For example, the Cleveland Browns. We 1327 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,280 Speaker 1: know they're getting six hundred million dollars from this fund. 1328 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,000 Speaker 1: But if you want to see the entire list, Drew 1329 01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,720 Speaker 1: Schoefield over at WCPO did the whole list, So we're 1330 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 1: going to be maybe funding things. All the hands in 1331 01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,160 Speaker 1: the cookie jar came out when they announced that there 1332 01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,840 Speaker 1: are other people who may be eligible under the House 1333 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 1: Facility or Sports Facility grant program. They're offering organizations the 1334 01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:10,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to apply for funds totaling up to twenty five 1335 01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:14,040 Speaker 1: percent of a project's expecting cost, capping it at two 1336 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,800 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars was maybe by Hamilton County 1337 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,719 Speaker 1: only asked for two hundred and thirty four million dollars 1338 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,080 Speaker 1: for renovating the Cincinni Bengals pay Course Stadium, So I 1339 01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:26,719 Speaker 1: add that to the list. I thought it particularly amusing 1340 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 1: one of the people on the list asking for three 1341 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,560 Speaker 1: quarters of a million dollars. The first Baptist church in 1342 01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 1: Shelby County for their Kingdom Sports Complex in honor of 1343 01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:43,879 Speaker 1: all the sports that Jesus played. So listen, the asks 1344 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 1: of government are unlimited. The money in government is limited. 1345 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,479 Speaker 1: Do you think it's an appropriate use of this money? 1346 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 1: And yes, it's from unclaimed funds, but you know there 1347 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:55,800 Speaker 1: are people out there that endeavored to get the money 1348 01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,880 Speaker 1: back that they know belongs to them. My friend Eric 1349 01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 1: has about one thousand dollars in that fund. He can't 1350 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,800 Speaker 1: get his money back because they want documented proof in 1351 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,240 Speaker 1: pay per form of where he lived more than twenty 1352 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 1: years ago. I'm not gonna say that out loud, Joe. 1353 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 13: Eric. 1354 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 1: Joe suggested he knows where that money is and the 1355 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:25,600 Speaker 1: account that was closed an adult site specifically. But Cleveland Guardians, 1356 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 1: you know you want them to get the money. I 1357 01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,840 Speaker 1: don't even know what the monkey business, Parker is. It's 1358 01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,040 Speaker 1: in mommy, but they want ten thousand dollars for new 1359 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,200 Speaker 1: safety mats. See the asks are and who would have 1360 01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:41,520 Speaker 1: thought of that? Tapping into government resources, i e. Your resources, 1361 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 1: your money to buy safety mats. Okay, what would you 1362 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,000 Speaker 1: spend the money on? Best suggestion, All Morning Jay on 1363 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 1: medicaid fraud Here in the state of Ohio blamed in 1364 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,960 Speaker 1: part on the fact that there are so many different 1365 01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,439 Speaker 1: computer systems in the very counties that we can't get 1366 01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:05,559 Speaker 1: a lid on it. How about spending something less than 1367 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:11,360 Speaker 1: a billion I would imagine unconsolidating the computer systems so 1368 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,360 Speaker 1: they can communicate with each other, so we can figure 1369 01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,439 Speaker 1: out if there is fraud, waste, or abuse going on 1370 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,360 Speaker 1: in any given government program. I think you'd get a 1371 01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:21,880 Speaker 1: return on that investment. You might get more money back 1372 01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 1: than you spend doing the program. I thought that was 1373 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,080 Speaker 1: a great idea, So props to Jay for coming on 1374 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 1: with that one early in the program. You may have 1375 01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,280 Speaker 1: a better idea five one, three, seven, four nine fifty 1376 01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:32,360 Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk 1377 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:36,200 Speaker 1: and pound five fifties on AT and T Funds. Apologies 1378 01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 1: the Signal ninety nine. She was on the program yesterday 1379 01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,640 Speaker 1: and I did think she used the S word. The 1380 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 1: word was ship. Get the podcast. Did you five KC 1381 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,400 Speaker 1: dot com appreciate what she had to do and of 1382 01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:49,719 Speaker 1: course one of the topics that she has been reporting 1383 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,760 Speaker 1: on her Facebook page again Signal ninety nine, Please Chief 1384 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,280 Speaker 1: three Sothiji. Remember when they put her on administrative leave 1385 01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:00,439 Speaker 1: after the violence downtown Cincinnati, the melee, remember the one 1386 01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 1: where Holly got punched in the face. Somehow that's police 1387 01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:09,519 Speaker 1: Chiefdiji's problem or fault. That's the only blockaway you can take. 1388 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 1: So anyway, So what did the city do? They didn't 1389 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,680 Speaker 1: have a reason to place run administrative leave. They never 1390 01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:18,640 Speaker 1: articulated a single thing that she had done. She's been 1391 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,400 Speaker 1: involved in law enforcement for more than thirty years. She's chief. 1392 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 1: She's been chief since what twenty twenty three, And say 1393 01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 1: what you want about her. I don't know that she 1394 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,120 Speaker 1: did anything wrong. They certainly didn't say she did something 1395 01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,280 Speaker 1: wrong to be put on administrative leave and have her 1396 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:34,639 Speaker 1: position take over by an interim chief. And of course 1397 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,720 Speaker 1: she lawyered up. But what did the city do? 1398 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:37,920 Speaker 4: Then? 1399 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,000 Speaker 1: They hired a law firm to investigate her background I 1400 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 1: guess her entire thirty year history in law enforcement, and 1401 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 1: they paid that law firm forty thousand dollars. That law 1402 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,760 Speaker 1: firm was supposed to end its investigation December of last year. 1403 01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:53,599 Speaker 1: And you may recall they already extended that law firm's 1404 01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 1: work because I guess they didn't find anything. The first 1405 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,120 Speaker 1: extension came at a cost of nine thousand dollars, and 1406 01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:04,320 Speaker 1: we learned yesterday that since a communications director, Molly Lair, 1407 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: has announced yet another extension of that contract. But don't worry, 1408 01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 1: apparently they're not going to charge for the further investigation. 1409 01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:15,160 Speaker 1: How long would it Could it possibly take a very 1410 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,880 Speaker 1: excellent law firm to find out a reason for putting 1411 01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 1: Police Chief Thiji on administrative leave. You'd think they just 1412 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 1: would look at the city manager and say, hey, why 1413 01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:28,479 Speaker 1: did you put her on administrative leave? Maybe that's where 1414 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,479 Speaker 1: they started. Maybe that's the response they got from Cheryl Long, 1415 01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,559 Speaker 1: Well that's why we hired you, isn't it anyway? Police Chief? 1416 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:41,840 Speaker 1: Theij's lawyer, an employment attorney, Steven m Quote, the mayor 1417 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,600 Speaker 1: and city manager should be ashamed of themselves for continuing 1418 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:47,639 Speaker 1: this charade of investigation. This was nothing but a cynical 1419 01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,560 Speaker 1: political stunt from the start. It's a disgrace that this 1420 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,680 Speaker 1: city's leadership is now continuing to sacrifice the career and 1421 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 1: reputation of such a dedicated and devoted public servant. Terry 1422 01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 1: Thiji is a leader in the city and could be 1423 01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,000 Speaker 1: proud the city could be proud of the same cannot 1424 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:03,920 Speaker 1: be said of the people who continue to leave her 1425 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,679 Speaker 1: twisting in the wind for no good reason. This sham 1426 01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: has already gone far, far too long. Chiefdiji has already 1427 01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:17,760 Speaker 1: suffered far too much. Well well stated mister m. And again, 1428 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,240 Speaker 1: get ready is this mister m I'm sure is going 1429 01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,640 Speaker 1: to pursue a wrongful termination claim and employment claim of 1430 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,280 Speaker 1: some sort in the city of Cincinnat. He's going to 1431 01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:27,800 Speaker 1: be writing yet another fat check while they look desperately 1432 01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:30,800 Speaker 1: for a reason to justify their actions. We'll see what 1433 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,160 Speaker 1: John's got this morning, John, thanks for calling. Happy Friday 1434 01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 1: to you. 1435 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:35,840 Speaker 3: Hey, good morning.

About moved up here about five years 1438 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:42,760 Speaker 18: ago from northern Kentucky area. 1439 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:43,920 Speaker 10: Thank you. 1440 01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 3: I'm listening absolutely. 1441 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 18: I'm listening to the conversations over the last several weeks 1442 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 18: on regarding property taxes, and now the sports stadium issues 1443 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,360 Speaker 18: come come alive this morning. I wonder if this is 1444 01:16:57,400 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 18: a question, and I'm going to hang up see if 1445 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:01,960 Speaker 18: nobody can answer. I wonder how many of these sports 1446 01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:07,240 Speaker 18: organizations pay property taxes when their stadiums were built with 1447 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,479 Speaker 18: the property taxes provided the day pride them Holidays from 1448 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,080 Speaker 18: property taxes and you can throw in you could throw 1449 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:18,439 Speaker 18: in sales and use tax as well. The are they 1450 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:22,439 Speaker 18: paying these taxes? And if not, how about how about 1451 01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:26,640 Speaker 18: some of this money going to property tax rebates for 1452 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,400 Speaker 18: those of us that are retired and trying to stand 1453 01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:33,599 Speaker 18: our homes and given that we have to rent them 1454 01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:35,040 Speaker 18: from the state of Ohio these days. 1455 01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 1: Yes, I do appreciate everything. It's a great, great question. 1456 01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,200 Speaker 1: It's kind of weird because I think the county claims 1457 01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 1: ownership of like, for example, pay Corse Stadium, So would 1458 01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,960 Speaker 1: the county pay property taxes on its own property. I 1459 01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:48,960 Speaker 1: kind of doubt that. I don't know what the status 1460 01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,640 Speaker 1: is with any one of these other entities that are 1461 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:52,880 Speaker 1: trying to get some of the money out of the 1462 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:57,639 Speaker 1: unclaimed funds pile. They could be. I mean, for example, 1463 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 1: the Toledo mud Hens Baseball Club. Is that is that 1464 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,280 Speaker 1: something owned by the city of Toledo or is that 1465 01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,639 Speaker 1: a private club? They want four point four million dollars 1466 01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 1: to renovate their version of the fifth third field. Look, 1467 01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 1: naming rights are getting money from that? I don't know. 1468 01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,439 Speaker 1: Maybe some smarter person out there, and I've got a 1469 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,080 Speaker 1: lot of smart people in the listening audience can to 1470 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,640 Speaker 1: answer that question. But yeah, I mean going back to 1471 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,479 Speaker 1: property taxes, why not just cut a billion dollars off 1472 01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,320 Speaker 1: of O. Hioland's property taxes. I think there'll be a 1473 01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 1: better expenditure of a billion dollars than you know, peacemealing 1474 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 1: it out to all these different sports organizations. 1475 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:30,080 Speaker 7: Bread and Circus, Ingram fifty five k the talk station. 1476 01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,400 Speaker 1: Seven twenty Here in fifty five KRCD talk station Happy Friday, 1477 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:39,800 Speaker 1: fish List fiftybou KRC dot Com Fish Friday, Congressman David 1478 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:41,439 Speaker 1: Taylor after the top of the oir New was eight 1479 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,080 Speaker 1: oh five with Congressman Taylor. We had Congressman Davidson on yesterday, 1480 01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:45,320 Speaker 1: and if you can get a chance to listen to that, 1481 01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 1: he did say here on the fifty five KRC Morning 1482 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,599 Speaker 1: Show he does believe Congress must declare war on Iran 1483 01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:52,720 Speaker 1: an order for Donald Trump start dropping bombs on him, 1484 01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,840 Speaker 1: same position held by Congressman Massy. I'm I'm firmly in 1485 01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,640 Speaker 1: that camp as well. And yesterday he did make a 1486 01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:03,800 Speaker 1: further announcement just the second House Republican who plans to 1487 01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:07,840 Speaker 1: support the resolution limiting President Trump's ability to take unilateral 1488 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,040 Speaker 1: military action on Iran. This is not Iran's coming across 1489 01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 1: the ridge with bombs and rockets and missiles. This is 1490 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,120 Speaker 1: Iran well and behind the scenes preparing bombs and missiles 1491 01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:20,120 Speaker 1: and rockets for maybe some future conflict. We're not threatened 1492 01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:23,640 Speaker 1: by him right away, draw your own conclusions differently. This 1493 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:27,560 Speaker 1: is obviously everybody's got one, you know, sphincter's. But the 1494 01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,400 Speaker 1: Constitution says what it does. He intends to back the 1495 01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,920 Speaker 1: War Powers resolution when it reaches the House floor next week. 1496 01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,160 Speaker 1: In fact, he is a sponsor of it, co sponsored 1497 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,479 Speaker 1: with of all people, shocking Congressman Thomas Massey. So I 1498 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,679 Speaker 1: have to ask a Congressman David Taylor what his position 1499 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 1: on this as well. Yes, Israel is threatened maybe, but 1500 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 1: not us. What else is let's see here? 1501 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:54,800 Speaker 11: Oh, I. 1502 01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:02,120 Speaker 1: Complicated. Talk often about the the mister Smith goes to 1503 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,519 Speaker 1: Washington philibuster, the standing philibuster, because, of course, did you 1504 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 1: realize the government's shut down, Joe, did you get a 1505 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:11,559 Speaker 1: memo on that? Does it feel like it's shut down? Yeah? 1506 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:11,880 Speaker 8: It is. 1507 01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't see a whole lot of chatter about it anymore. Anyway. 1508 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:18,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if you're one of the people who's not 1509 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 1: getting a paycheck. I truly apologize, but you will ultimately 1510 01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:25,240 Speaker 1: get your money back anyway. The standing filibuster. Of course, 1511 01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,759 Speaker 1: Trump is pushing to get the Save Act move forward, 1512 01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,640 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, but what would it What would actually unfold 1513 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 1: if they did this talking filibuster, so explained by Mary 1514 01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:38,720 Speaker 1: Clark Jallinick over Newsmax, and I thank her for doing 1515 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:43,479 Speaker 1: this because it is extremely complicated. So Mike Lee talking 1516 01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:45,680 Speaker 1: about the philibuster allowing them to pass the legislation with 1517 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:47,960 Speaker 1: that having to go nuclear, you know, the sixty vote 1518 01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:51,360 Speaker 1: threshold to move it forward. So if you go talking philibuster, 1519 01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,760 Speaker 1: basically it's a waiting game who can outweight the other guy. 1520 01:20:55,240 --> 01:21:00,000 Speaker 1: Each senator is allowed only two speeches on a specific 1521 01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:03,840 Speaker 1: piece of legislation, and they point out the idea is 1522 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,880 Speaker 1: that Democrats would eventually run out of speeches or quit 1523 01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,280 Speaker 1: due to exhaustion, allowing Republicans to move forward with a 1524 01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:13,280 Speaker 1: simple majority. In fact, Michaeley said, we won't pass the 1525 01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 1: Save America Act unless we start making filibusters. Senators speak. 1526 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,799 Speaker 1: This will take time and effort, but we'd be crazy 1527 01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:21,680 Speaker 1: not to give it the effort. It deserves, and yeah, 1528 01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,160 Speaker 1: I would default to that position immediately. But this is 1529 01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:28,360 Speaker 1: how things kind of fall apart. Democrats would be able 1530 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 1: to throw up procedural roadblocks like restarting the clock for 1531 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:39,840 Speaker 1: speeches if enough Republicans aren't present on the floor. That 1532 01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 1: means nearly all fifty three Republicans would need to remain 1533 01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:45,600 Speaker 1: close to the Senate during the full duration of the 1534 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:49,439 Speaker 1: filibuster effort, while only one Democrat would have to keep speaking. 1535 01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:55,479 Speaker 1: Are the Republicans willing to do that? Point it out 1536 01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:58,679 Speaker 1: the process? I know Joe Strecker is cracking up out loud. 1537 01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 1: The process could last for weeks, given there are forty 1538 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,639 Speaker 1: seven Democrats on the Senate, and again, each of them 1539 01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:07,000 Speaker 1: gets a couple of speeches. And it's noted even if 1540 01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:10,320 Speaker 1: Republicans managed to break the first filibuster, Democrats could then 1541 01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:14,880 Speaker 1: offer an unlimited number of amendments amendments on anything they want, 1542 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:18,679 Speaker 1: forcing the Republicans to take what are described as hard 1543 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:21,280 Speaker 1: votes in an election year and potentially adding some of 1544 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,600 Speaker 1: their own priorities to the legislation if they have some 1545 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:28,720 Speaker 1: bipartisan support. Every amendment would bring a new round of 1546 01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:34,000 Speaker 1: speeches as well. Set majority of leader Throon said, we 1547 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:37,400 Speaker 1: have to have fifty to defeat every amendment, and that's 1548 01:22:37,479 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 1: not where we are right now. Acknowledging out loud that 1549 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 1: all these different amendments that might go along with the 1550 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:46,400 Speaker 1: Save Act, the Republicans aren't uniform lock step with regard 1551 01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 1: to each additional amendment. Now that's a stark contrast between 1552 01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,839 Speaker 1: the Democrats and the Republicans, isn't it. Isn't it amazing 1553 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:57,599 Speaker 1: that evil Orange Man can unite the Democrats lock steps? 1554 01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:00,120 Speaker 1: So I think they could definitively state I know how 1555 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,120 Speaker 1: many votes we have for any given amendment that's coming 1556 01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:06,200 Speaker 1: our way. Question, does the amendment seek get the approval 1557 01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:08,640 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump? The answer to that is yes, then 1558 01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:12,240 Speaker 1: we are a full lockstep. No, every Democrat will reject it, period. 1559 01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:19,760 Speaker 1: They've demonstrated that time and time again. So honestly, I'd 1560 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,920 Speaker 1: still like them to engage in the effort to try it. 1561 01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,400 Speaker 1: It would certainly keep them busy for a while, wouldn't it. 1562 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,160 Speaker 1: Seven twenty five right now if you have KCD talk station, 1563 01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,320 Speaker 1: Foreign Exchange gotta pick my car today. They needed it 1564 01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:36,439 Speaker 1: over to Ohio City's passing ordinances to restrict Ice and 1565 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:38,639 Speaker 1: his comments on the State of the Union address. Maybe 1566 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:39,920 Speaker 1: I'll get into chime in on what he would do 1567 01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,000 Speaker 1: with a billion dollars rather than give it to sports 1568 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,479 Speaker 1: complexes in the state of Ohio. Let's go to the phones. 1569 01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:45,800 Speaker 1: They do have local stories, but I have a couple 1570 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 1: of callers online which I prefer, Dick, Thanks for calling 1571 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 1: this morning, and Happy Friday to you, sir. 1572 01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:51,240 Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian. 1573 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 19: With regards to our Congress, who is still getting paid 1574 01:23:55,320 --> 01:24:01,400 Speaker 19: while they do not legislate or represent our interest. They've 1575 01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:03,880 Speaker 19: put the ox before the horse here, or the cart 1576 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 19: before the horse, or something. 1577 01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 10: They got backwards. 1578 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,960 Speaker 19: The only people that shouldn't be getting paid are paid legislators. 1579 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:19,599 Speaker 19: Congress Decisis really needs to communicate those little tiny words 1580 01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 19: to the Congress people. They can't spend their time when 1581 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:28,040 Speaker 19: they're not legislating listening to the arguments, supposedly listening to 1582 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:34,879 Speaker 19: arguments to fulfilling their campaign coffers for their next campaign 1583 01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 19: in which they're going to promise things and still not 1584 01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,360 Speaker 19: execute them when they get into office. 1585 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:41,200 Speaker 9: This is wrong. 1586 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,200 Speaker 19: They are the Senate likes to think of themselves as 1587 01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,760 Speaker 19: the most august deliverative body. 1588 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 9: On the planet. 1589 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:54,000 Speaker 19: That's inordinately not true. Because when they stand up there 1590 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:58,519 Speaker 19: and talk in an empty chamber, they're not hearing. No 1591 01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 19: pain needs to be felt by the people that we 1592 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:08,560 Speaker 19: hired to do our representation for us. They're not doing it. 1593 01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 1: You didn't call looking for an argument this morning, Dick. 1594 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:16,120 Speaker 19: I can assure you, but it's incumbent upon the citizen 1595 01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,360 Speaker 19: read to communicate that to their representatives. 1596 01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 1: I applaud that effort. I truly do, sir. Yes, and 1597 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,080 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I just went through the 1598 01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:30,280 Speaker 1: whole concept of the talking filibuster, a process designed to 1599 01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 1: literally accomplish nothing but exhaustion. Think about that's that's it's 1600 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,080 Speaker 1: built into our government. You can literally stand there and 1601 01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:41,200 Speaker 1: read a phone book. It's been done before, nothing but 1602 01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,559 Speaker 1: a phone book. Use up time, Use up time, use 1603 01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,120 Speaker 1: up time. To the other person says no, Moss, I 1604 01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:47,840 Speaker 1: can't handle anymore. I want to go home. I want 1605 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:52,439 Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom or whatever. I'm loath to 1606 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,479 Speaker 1: find fault with our constitutional system of government, but I 1607 01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:59,280 Speaker 1: think we just ran into some area where we can 1608 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,639 Speaker 1: find fault to what Bill's god this morning, Bill, thanks 1609 01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:03,040 Speaker 1: for calling. Happy Friday to you, sir. 1610 01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:08,120 Speaker 20: Yeah right. I just wonder your input on a subject 1611 01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:12,439 Speaker 20: that I delved into on the internet. Uh, the subject 1612 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:17,200 Speaker 20: being that can the government confiscate your goal? And you 1613 01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 20: be surprised about some of the things I read. Uh, 1614 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,960 Speaker 20: there are evidently some circumstances that they can need to 1615 01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:31,160 Speaker 20: declare by occurrences or uh declaration that that they could 1616 01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:35,920 Speaker 20: can confiscate your goal. And f d R actually uh 1617 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,960 Speaker 20: delve into that a little bit. He made I think 1618 01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:40,559 Speaker 20: he either made it a tempt at it or had 1619 01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:45,240 Speaker 20: it on his bike. And my point is where if 1620 01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:49,760 Speaker 20: the if the Liberals would igle and google their way 1621 01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:54,599 Speaker 20: back into power the White House or Congress, the Congress, Uh, 1622 01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 20: they could come up with some hokey thing and say, well, 1623 01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:05,400 Speaker 20: Donald Trump has created and emergency economic emergency with his policies, 1624 01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:08,439 Speaker 20: and so we're going to try to They can use 1625 01:27:08,520 --> 01:27:09,799 Speaker 20: that the confiscate your goal. 1626 01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,280 Speaker 1: Theoretically. I mean, you know, the Constitution requires compensation when 1627 01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,599 Speaker 1: property is taken from you, but your your your point's 1628 01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 1: well taken. When you step one step beyond that, the 1629 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,040 Speaker 1: governments say, okay, I'm taking your gold for filling the 1630 01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,240 Speaker 1: blank reason. It have to be a pretty compelling reason. 1631 01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 1: They return the value. All right, the taking has occurred, 1632 01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:32,040 Speaker 1: You will get dollars back in the form of fiat currency, 1633 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:33,280 Speaker 1: which is one of the reasons why a lot of 1634 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,040 Speaker 1: people own gold in the first place, because they don't 1635 01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:36,760 Speaker 1: believe in the fiat currency. They see it going to 1636 01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:40,960 Speaker 1: collapse like five minutes down the road. So the mechanism 1637 01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 1: for recovering the loss in this case, the taking of 1638 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,880 Speaker 1: the gold or real property or something like that, is 1639 01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 1: to receive fiat currency. All that's public and private legal tender. 1640 01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,160 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people out there wouldn't 1641 01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 1: think that that is fair compensation.

It 1656 01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:42,240 Speaker 1: was ship sinking ship Brian, there's some some really funny 1657 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:44,519 Speaker 1: banter back and forth. She put the link up in 1658 01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:46,680 Speaker 1: her sight on Facebook, and of course it's right there 1659 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:48,439 Speaker 1: at fifty five kr s dot com, so you can't 1660 01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:57,120 Speaker 1: listen to that. And and Joe's mime as well, strekker 1661 01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:00,160 Speaker 1: you crack me up anyhow, it's right there. I to 1662 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,240 Speaker 1: have Kersey dot com. Congressman Davidson as well, and yes, 1663 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:03,679 Speaker 1: he did stay on the Morning show that he would 1664 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,719 Speaker 1: vote for the War Powers Resolution to limit Donald Trump's 1665 01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:09,320 Speaker 1: ability to wage war apps in congressional approval, which I approve. 1666 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna ask David Taylor about that after the top 1667 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:16,559 Speaker 1: of the our news. And I don't know JD Van 1668 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:21,360 Speaker 1: said yesterday, and just the idea that we're going to 1669 01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:23,680 Speaker 1: be in a Middle Eastern war for years with no 1670 01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,040 Speaker 1: end in sight, there is no chance that will happen. Well, 1671 01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:29,000 Speaker 1: that runs contrary to the predictions of a whole lot 1672 01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:33,000 Speaker 1: of people. And we just find out the other day 1673 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:36,759 Speaker 1: that a Chinese technology helps shoot down an American drone. 1674 01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:39,519 Speaker 1: Anybody put the China factor in there. You know, the 1675 01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:43,559 Speaker 1: Iranians probably playing really cozy with the Chinese. Chinese are 1676 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:45,679 Speaker 1: in a great position to provide them with military hardware 1677 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:50,600 Speaker 1: and their technology, maybe extending the length and gravity of 1678 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:56,240 Speaker 1: the conflict if we start a war. And so they're 1679 01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:58,960 Speaker 1: going to force a vote on to limit the president's warpowers. 1680 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:02,120 Speaker 1: They're going to do it next. I'm just wondering whether 1681 01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:05,400 Speaker 1: that's going to be quick enough as we stand on 1682 01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:08,479 Speaker 1: the brink of war. And apparently apparently the negotiation just 1683 01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:11,240 Speaker 1: between the US and your audience didn't bear any fruit, 1684 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:15,360 Speaker 1: and so Vance, you have to go back, though, And 1685 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:18,439 Speaker 1: I have nothing against Jay Vance. He was a critic 1686 01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:21,800 Speaker 1: of the Iraq war. The WMD based I think lie 1687 01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,640 Speaker 1: that got us into that war. Oh my god, WMD's 1688 01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 1: we need to go to war. Okay, I didn't ever 1689 01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 1: find any But when asked about that, how can your 1690 01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:36,120 Speaker 1: posture be of I'll just characterize it personally as pro 1691 01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:38,680 Speaker 1: war when you were against the whole situation, which is 1692 01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 1: wildly reminiscent of the Iraq situation. Notably, given Donald Trump's 1693 01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:44,760 Speaker 1: statement in the State of the Union address that they 1694 01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,280 Speaker 1: have you know, they're they're working on long range missiles 1695 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,719 Speaker 1: or something that can fly six thousand miles and hit America. 1696 01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:54,799 Speaker 1: Is that the new WMD for this particular inevitable, seemingly 1697 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:59,600 Speaker 1: conflict anyway, I do, he said, I do think we 1698 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,600 Speaker 1: have to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. I 1699 01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,439 Speaker 1: also think that we have to avoid overlearning the lessons 1700 01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:07,840 Speaker 1: of the past. Just because one president screwed up a 1701 01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:10,759 Speaker 1: military conflict doesn't mean we can never engage in military 1702 01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:14,120 Speaker 1: conflict again. We've got to be careful about it. But 1703 01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:19,240 Speaker 1: I think the President is being careful, then, saying when 1704 01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,600 Speaker 1: asked about whether the administration prefers a diplomatic outcome of 1705 01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 1: the current standoff, he pointed out that the president and 1706 01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:28,840 Speaker 1: he personally are against the whole idea of war, but it, 1707 01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:32,200 Speaker 1: in his words, depends on what the Iranians do and 1708 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:35,879 Speaker 1: what they say. Now. Currently, the posture is, the Iranians 1709 01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:39,280 Speaker 1: must agree to our terms, which are basically completely getting 1710 01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:41,720 Speaker 1: rid of the whole nuclear program and promising not to 1711 01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:45,479 Speaker 1: build a nuclear bomb. And you know the demands, and 1712 01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:48,040 Speaker 1: so far the Ridians have told up a metaphorical middle 1713 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:50,280 Speaker 1: finger to everything, saying no, no, no, no, and yesterday 1714 01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:52,759 Speaker 1: seems to be a continuation of that. They have promised 1715 01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:55,880 Speaker 1: a third round of talks. Will we keep things at 1716 01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:57,920 Speaker 1: bay while the third round of talks goes on? I 1717 01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:02,680 Speaker 1: sure hope so, But depends on what the Iranians do 1718 01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:07,959 Speaker 1: and what they say. Is them saying no a justification 1719 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:11,360 Speaker 1: for war? Does that magically create them long term ICBMs 1720 01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,160 Speaker 1: that can hit the United States? No, it doesn't change 1721 01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:15,640 Speaker 1: that dynamic at all. It just means that they're not 1722 01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:17,960 Speaker 1: going to agree to the terms of what we want, 1723 01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:21,719 Speaker 1: the demands we've placed upon them. Is that a sufficient 1724 01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:27,639 Speaker 1: line the Iranians drew to justify dropping bombs and engaging 1725 01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:32,559 Speaker 1: in regime change? It's a legitimate question. Donald Trump's previously 1726 01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,120 Speaker 1: said he would do this if they couldn't come to terms. 1727 01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 1: So the original of War Powers resolution to block Trump 1728 01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,519 Speaker 1: to carrying out strikes without specific approval from Congress, co 1729 01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,560 Speaker 1: led by ro Kana, Democrat from California, of course, and 1730 01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:50,880 Speaker 1: Thomas Massey. Now Congressman Davidson has definitely said full on 1731 01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:55,519 Speaker 1: I'm backing that vote. I'm going to vote for it, 1732 01:32:56,439 --> 01:33:00,320 Speaker 1: and there's a growing bipartisan cry to do exactly that. 1733 01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,400 Speaker 1: So it maybe we can avoid conflict because Congress actually 1734 01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:07,479 Speaker 1: steps up and reasserts what's written in the Constitution, the 1735 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:11,040 Speaker 1: power vested in them to declare war or limited as 1736 01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 1: the case. Maybe seven forty five. If you have KCD 1737 01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 1: talk station, Terry, you're up next.

They were not 1795 01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:03,559 Speaker 22: allowed to possess them. 1796 01:36:03,960 --> 01:36:05,960 Speaker 1: I get all that, I understand it, and I know 1797 01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:07,599 Speaker 1: this is a touchy subject for a lot of people, 1798 01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,920 Speaker 1: because I've had people members of military say no, there 1799 01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:12,839 Speaker 1: were weapons of mesters. Start. That's fine, and I understand 1800 01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,439 Speaker 1: the pact that would certainly include that because there may 1801 01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:17,600 Speaker 1: have been someone who was exposed to some form of 1802 01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 1: chemical agent if you were serving your country and you 1803 01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:22,880 Speaker 1: can trace a line between your disability and your service 1804 01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:25,000 Speaker 1: to the country because you were in a specific geographic 1805 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:27,200 Speaker 1: area where they were known to be burn pits or 1806 01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:29,000 Speaker 1: any other given activity that might cause. 1807 01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:30,400 Speaker 13: This is not burn pits. 1808 01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:34,879 Speaker 22: We're talking about. All of the surveillent was used against 1809 01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:40,320 Speaker 22: the infantry, against the Indiana Infantry Division, and they have 1810 01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:44,000 Speaker 22: a numerous of cases of cancer because it was a 1811 01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:47,559 Speaker 22: chemical that was directly used against them. All right, fair enough, 1812 01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:50,760 Speaker 22: And the thing is is to sit here and say 1813 01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:53,720 Speaker 22: that it minimizes and allows people to believe that no 1814 01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:57,400 Speaker 22: one was you know, no one was exposed. They weren't there, 1815 01:36:57,600 --> 01:36:58,120 Speaker 22: and that's. 1816 01:36:58,040 --> 01:36:58,800 Speaker 3: Just not the truth. 1817 01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:01,599 Speaker 1: Well that's what the pack that is for. Because maybe 1818 01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:04,320 Speaker 1: our elected officials were smarter than me. They just covered 1819 01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:07,680 Speaker 1: all contingencies when they passed that. So go ahead and 1820 01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:09,560 Speaker 1: make the claim. That's fine. All I know is in 1821 01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,000 Speaker 1: final analysis that was the run up. That was the 1822 01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,400 Speaker 1: impetus behind it. It got everybody jimmed up because we 1823 01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:17,240 Speaker 1: all thought that dam and Sam was going to start 1824 01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:20,320 Speaker 1: unleashing chemical warfare on the world, and quite frankly, that 1825 01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:22,559 Speaker 1: actually didn't happen. To the best of my knowledge, maybe 1826 01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:24,599 Speaker 1: I missed the article on it. Let's see what Jeff's 1827 01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:26,360 Speaker 1: got this morning. Jeff, real quick, Welcome to the show. 1828 01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:30,639 Speaker 10: It's basically a first of all, good morning. It's basically 1829 01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:34,519 Speaker 10: a follow up to the last call there. I remember 1830 01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:39,000 Speaker 10: seeing all kinds of dead bodies on the TV when 1831 01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:44,599 Speaker 10: Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons to kill the Kurds. There's 1832 01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:50,080 Speaker 10: also reports of chemical weapons being used against the Iranians 1833 01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:55,040 Speaker 10: by Saddam husseints. Now I'm pushing seventy. If I was 1834 01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:57,680 Speaker 10: a racehorse, i'd been in the glue factory by now. 1835 01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:02,040 Speaker 1: But the weekend we again, the weekend Weekend Warrior program. 1836 01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,120 Speaker 1: You're eligible, sir, Yes, sir, I am. 1837 01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:12,439 Speaker 10: But it's my understanding that chemical weapons have been ruled 1838 01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,719 Speaker 10: upon by the hag Quart or whatever it is, as 1839 01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:20,920 Speaker 10: a weapon of mass destruction. If I am correct, then 1840 01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:24,280 Speaker 10: you were wrong regarding the use of chemical weapons. And 1841 01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:28,840 Speaker 10: I do not have the capacity on my tablet to 1842 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,559 Speaker 10: listen to you and refresh my memory at the same time. 1843 01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:36,240 Speaker 10: So since you guys up there are better computer folks 1844 01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:39,200 Speaker 10: than me, check that out and get back. Well, you know, 1845 01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:44,439 Speaker 10: get it on the radio. Understanding Saddam Hussein used chemical 1846 01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:47,880 Speaker 10: My god, there's villages of all these dead people when 1847 01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 10: he used them against the curve. 1848 01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:52,400 Speaker 1: Well, I'll still rest on and and I'm happy to 1849 01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 1: be proven wrong, Jeff all day long. I am a 1850 01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:57,840 Speaker 1: human being, and I have been wrong before, and I'm 1851 01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 1: on record saying it. Happy to be happy to correct 1852 01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:02,760 Speaker 1: the record at any given time. That's what we have 1853 01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:04,800 Speaker 1: people like you, Jeff, listen the program or calling me 1854 01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:08,400 Speaker 1: out where you think I'm wrong. But if Saddam is 1855 01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:11,519 Speaker 1: saying did use chemical weapons on people? There, is that 1856 01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:14,160 Speaker 1: a threat eminent or otherwise to the United States of America? 1857 01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:18,559 Speaker 1: Is that something that justifies the unleashing of a war 1858 01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:22,960 Speaker 1: on that country? That kind of thing happened. Genocide happens 1859 01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:24,720 Speaker 1: all over the place. Look at the various countries in 1860 01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:27,640 Speaker 1: Africa where they slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people. Do 1861 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:29,599 Speaker 1: we have an obligation of going there and start dropping bomb? 1862 01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:36,400 Speaker 1: So that's where I am, Roan is not getting ready 1863 01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:40,639 Speaker 1: to attack us. They couldn't. They may be getting ready 1864 01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:43,720 Speaker 1: to attack Israel, not the United States of America, which 1865 01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:45,920 Speaker 1: suggests to me, since it's not an eminent threat to 1866 01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:48,800 Speaker 1: the people or the folks here in the United States, Ah, 1867 01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:51,559 Speaker 1: then maybe there should be congressional action. That's where I am. 1868 01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:52,880 Speaker 1: But we're going to find out here in a couple 1869 01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,280 Speaker 1: of minutes where David Taylor is on that wills get 1870 01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:56,840 Speaker 1: his reaction to the State of the Union address and 1871 01:39:57,160 --> 01:39:59,720 Speaker 1: comment or two on tariffs. David Taylor, Congressman after the 1872 01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:02,360 Speaker 1: top our news fall by Jack Windsor, editor in chief 1873 01:40:02,360 --> 01:40:06,160 Speaker 1: of the Hio Press Network at a thirty stick around today. 1874 01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:09,120 Speaker 15: It's tough headlines coming up at the top of the 1875 01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:10,240 Speaker 15: hour because. 1876 01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:16,000 Speaker 1: The the talk station ATO six at fifty five krs 1877 01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:19,720 Speaker 1: the talk station, It's Friday, and a happy one to you. 1878 01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:22,759 Speaker 1: Extra special day to day the return of Congressman David Taylor, 1879 01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:25,519 Speaker 1: probably representing the second District of Ohio in the swamp 1880 01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:28,200 Speaker 1: that is Washington, DC. Welcome back, Congressman Taylor. It's great 1881 01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:29,120 Speaker 1: having you on the show today. 1882 01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:33,080 Speaker 3: Good morning, Brian, thanks for having me, and happy Friday 1883 01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:33,280 Speaker 3: to you. 1884 01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:36,040 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, appreciate that. Let's start with Iran. I 1885 01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:39,120 Speaker 1: had Congressman Davidson on yesterday. He definitively stated that he 1886 01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:42,760 Speaker 1: would be voting to support Rocanna Congressman Massey's efforts to 1887 01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:46,080 Speaker 1: limit Donald Trump's ability to wage war absent congressional approval, 1888 01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:49,000 Speaker 1: which to me, sir, is consistent with the Constitution. He 1889 01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:51,439 Speaker 1: then went out online and confirmed that he was in 1890 01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:54,200 Speaker 1: fact doing that and that he had called for a 1891 01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:58,479 Speaker 1: a classified briefing on the mission in Iran. Don't know 1892 01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:00,400 Speaker 1: that he's gotten one yet, but he didn't end it back. 1893 01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:04,439 Speaker 1: The War Powers Resolution said war requires congressional authorization. These 1894 01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:06,880 Speaker 1: are actions short of war, but no case has been made. 1895 01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,360 Speaker 1: Can I ask you, sir, where are you on the 1896 01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:12,000 Speaker 1: concept of just getting to drop bombs on Iran? Because 1897 01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:14,040 Speaker 1: it looks like it's coming any moment, and that quite 1898 01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:15,000 Speaker 1: frankly worries me. 1899 01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:21,120 Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more in Congressman Davidson is right as well. 1900 01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:24,840 Speaker 3: If we're going to conduct a war against the sovereign nation, 1901 01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:30,040 Speaker 3: Congress is supposed to authorize that. But as you mentioned, 1902 01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:32,759 Speaker 3: there are actions short of a war that the president 1903 01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:36,200 Speaker 3: can take, and I'll look to see if I can 1904 01:41:36,479 --> 01:41:40,400 Speaker 3: join Congressman Davidson for that briefing to see if we 1905 01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:42,479 Speaker 3: can get a better handle on what, if any of 1906 01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:47,640 Speaker 3: those possible kinetic strategies are and if they do in 1907 01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:51,160 Speaker 3: fact require government or congressional authorization. 1908 01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:52,360 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1909 01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:56,960 Speaker 1: I just I just really struggle with this one. And honestly, sir, 1910 01:41:57,080 --> 01:42:00,200 Speaker 1: I appraise you, and I'm glad to hear that is 1911 01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:03,000 Speaker 1: your position relative to this this current conflict, in this situation, 1912 01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,280 Speaker 1: I guess I'm kind of wondering. You know, you're in 1913 01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:10,840 Speaker 1: you're you're listening to your fellow congress persons, your fellow representatives, 1914 01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:14,320 Speaker 1: you're there in the swamp. Is anybody alarmed over this? 1915 01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:18,719 Speaker 1: Because there's not much way by way of out louds 1916 01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:22,000 Speaker 1: typical screaming and yelling from politicians about Donald Trump going 1917 01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:24,200 Speaker 1: off on his own and deciding on his own whether 1918 01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 1: or not to engage in a conflict which quite frankly 1919 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:28,639 Speaker 1: could get really really messy. 1920 01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:29,599 Speaker 9: Uh. 1921 01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 1: It just sounds like it's one of those the silence 1922 01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:37,000 Speaker 1: seems deafening kind of thing. Congressman Taylor, I agree, Brian. 1923 01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:39,479 Speaker 3: You know, the big build up over there has been 1924 01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:43,040 Speaker 3: growing for I guess maybe over a month now. It's 1925 01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:45,719 Speaker 3: it's definitely been a steady build up in the area. 1926 01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:51,519 Speaker 3: And I think the part of the quiet you described 1927 01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:56,240 Speaker 3: comes from our expectation that a deal is going to 1928 01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:59,960 Speaker 3: be struck. I don't know the degree to which that was. 1929 01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:03,120 Speaker 3: That that idea was damaged this morning when I heard 1930 01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:06,599 Speaker 3: that the potentially negotiations have broken off. I think that's 1931 01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:11,200 Speaker 3: a concern. Yes, everyone wants wants a peaceful resolution. I 1932 01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:15,040 Speaker 3: was talking to somebody in DC recently about you know, 1933 01:43:15,200 --> 01:43:18,960 Speaker 3: I think if there's this perception that Iran has been 1934 01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:21,960 Speaker 3: as it is now forever, when when you and I 1935 01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:24,439 Speaker 3: know that, you know, the rolling stones have been touring 1936 01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:27,639 Speaker 3: way longer than these idiots have been in charge in Iran. 1937 01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:32,679 Speaker 3: So we're all hoping that they'll flink off into obscurity. Quietly, 1938 01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:36,799 Speaker 3: it's looking less likely if as a result of today's 1939 01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:41,960 Speaker 3: actions that that's that's likely, But you know, it's it's 1940 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:45,960 Speaker 3: something asked to watch carefully and conducted in accordance with 1941 01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:46,640 Speaker 3: the Constitution. 1942 01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:49,800 Speaker 1: If it comes to that, well that's all I'm asking for. 1943 01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:53,760 Speaker 1: Deliberation and you know, a full awareness and maybe even 1944 01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:57,160 Speaker 1: sort of an out loud mission statement. You know, what, 1945 01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:00,400 Speaker 1: what are we hoping to accomplish. The reason we are 1946 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:03,080 Speaker 1: going to provide you with authorization to start dropping bombs 1947 01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:05,720 Speaker 1: is because we want to accomplish fill in the blank objectives. 1948 01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:10,200 Speaker 1: So something sound like that, which could start the deliberative process. 1949 01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:11,920 Speaker 1: I think that's all a lot of Americans are looking for, 1950 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,920 Speaker 1: because people are going to die. American soldiers are going 1951 01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:19,400 Speaker 1: to die. I think, unlike invading Venezuela and doing it 1952 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,439 Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, mission in and out, 1953 01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,479 Speaker 1: this is going to be a protracted military conflict given 1954 01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:27,080 Speaker 1: the volume of weapons Iran has. We know that, and 1955 01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:29,919 Speaker 1: then all of the military bases and all the assets 1956 01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:31,800 Speaker 1: that we have in the surrounding region, and a lot 1957 01:44:31,840 --> 01:44:34,000 Speaker 1: of of course friendly countries that we are. You know, 1958 01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:37,200 Speaker 1: we'd like to maintain some similance of friendship with I 1959 01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:40,080 Speaker 1: know Israel's may be threatened, but are we going to 1960 01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:42,840 Speaker 1: go to war because Israel is literally threatened by this? 1961 01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:47,439 Speaker 1: I mean, just too many questions, Congressman Taylor, All. 1962 01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:49,360 Speaker 3: Those all those things you pointed out are true, and 1963 01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:54,360 Speaker 3: I'll add that, you know, Iran has a complicated relationship 1964 01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:57,920 Speaker 3: with Russia and China. Yes, as far as was our 1965 01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:02,080 Speaker 3: involvement could could trigger, So it has to be handled 1966 01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:08,080 Speaker 3: very very delicately, and hopefully negotiations are resumed next week 1967 01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:12,040 Speaker 3: as was originally the plan. And couldn't agree more that 1968 01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:15,439 Speaker 3: this is something that can turn very bad, very fast, 1969 01:45:15,640 --> 01:45:18,000 Speaker 3: So hopefully cooler heads prevailed. 1970 01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:20,080 Speaker 1: I hate to laugh in response to that could happen 1971 01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:23,120 Speaker 1: very bad, very fast. The vote on this, this War 1972 01:45:23,160 --> 01:45:25,920 Speaker 1: Powers resolution is supposed to take take place next week, 1973 01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:30,000 Speaker 1: and since the talks kind of fell apart yesterday, very 1974 01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:34,880 Speaker 1: fast could mean like the weekend, right, I mean, would 1975 01:45:34,880 --> 01:45:36,639 Speaker 1: you put it? You wouldn't put it past Donald Trump 1976 01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:38,240 Speaker 1: to just go ahead and move forward with the war 1977 01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:41,599 Speaker 1: in advance of the vote on the War Powers resolution? 1978 01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:42,080 Speaker 1: Would you. 1979 01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:45,080 Speaker 9: The only thing? 1980 01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:47,840 Speaker 3: I would say, bright, I don't think we would be 1981 01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:55,599 Speaker 3: committing troops to uh sort of landing and Iran absent 1982 01:45:55,720 --> 01:46:00,760 Speaker 3: some intervention by Congress in advance. But not is impossible, 1983 01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:05,800 Speaker 3: of course, but I'm sure we know with our intelligence 1984 01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:09,320 Speaker 3: agencies exactly where every single Mola is every moment of 1985 01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:14,000 Speaker 3: every day. Yes, an operation that sort of cuts the 1986 01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:19,240 Speaker 3: head off the snake quickly and without boots on the 1987 01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:23,639 Speaker 3: ground would wouldn't necessarily surprise me. But again, I'm hoping 1988 01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:28,360 Speaker 3: for a negotiated deal and where our people are not 1989 01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,920 Speaker 3: putt in danger, and neither are the people of Iran. 1990 01:46:31,040 --> 01:46:33,760 Speaker 3: The people of Iran are obviously rising up and dying, 1991 01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:37,040 Speaker 3: and there are tens of thousands against this papule regime. 1992 01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:40,880 Speaker 3: So we want, we want people to live freely in 1993 01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:43,400 Speaker 3: Certainly the government of Iran does not agree with. 1994 01:46:43,479 --> 01:46:45,479 Speaker 1: Us on that, clearly, And you can already hear the 1995 01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:49,640 Speaker 1: propaganda machine getting fired up to start talking about all 1996 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:52,320 Speaker 1: the civilian casualties, which will inevitably be the pro of 1997 01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,599 Speaker 1: be a problem in a large broader scale military conflict. 1998 01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:57,760 Speaker 1: But I think you're right. I mean, we have demonstrated 1999 01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:00,880 Speaker 1: we can find people and blow them up with persons accuracy. 2000 01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:03,360 Speaker 1: I imagine the Mulas and the Ayatolla have all like 2001 01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,800 Speaker 1: scattered in the wind and have all found comfortable hiding 2002 01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:09,240 Speaker 1: spots that they think they can avoid detection. Because I 2003 01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:10,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to be walking around if I was one 2004 01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:12,080 Speaker 1: of them out out in the open. 2005 01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:16,760 Speaker 3: No, I'm sure Sulimani thought the same thing. 2006 01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:20,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. We know how that worked out. 2007 01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:22,880 Speaker 1: Ill table to take an early break because I want 2008 01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:24,479 Speaker 1: to get your reaction to the State of the Union address, 2009 01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:26,560 Speaker 1: and also a common or two on tariff since we 2010 01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:28,400 Speaker 1: got a little bump in the road after the Supreme 2011 01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:31,000 Speaker 1: Court decision. We'll take a break now it's eight to fourteen, 2012 01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:32,800 Speaker 1: continuing with Congressman David Taylor. 2013 01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:37,000 Speaker 14: After these words, fifty five KRC texting rolls you. 2014 01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:39,799 Speaker 1: In recurring mode. I did marketing text messages come from fifty. 2015 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:41,479 Speaker 7: Five KRC the talk station. 2016 01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:46,360 Speaker 1: Eighteen here fifty five kr SE de talk station Brion 2017 01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:49,759 Speaker 1: Thomas with Congressman David Taylor, probably representing the second district 2018 01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:52,080 Speaker 1: here to Ohio Ian the swamp that we call Washington DC. 2019 01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:54,120 Speaker 1: David Taylor, you were at the State of the Union address. 2020 01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:56,920 Speaker 1: What was your reaction your response to it? Happy with it? 2021 01:47:57,280 --> 01:47:59,360 Speaker 1: Was he missing anything? Or what were some of the 2022 01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:01,880 Speaker 1: more important highlights from the State of the Union? 2023 01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:06,640 Speaker 3: Sir, Yeah, that was a great night, Brian. I was 2024 01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:09,360 Speaker 3: asked before we went into the State of the Union 2025 01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:13,599 Speaker 3: what topic I was most hopeful that President Trump honed 2026 01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:15,840 Speaker 3: in on during the State of the Union, And I said, 2027 01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:18,599 Speaker 3: I want him to do a layout of everything that's 2028 01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:22,000 Speaker 3: gone on this past thirteen months, all of the things 2029 01:48:22,040 --> 01:48:24,639 Speaker 3: he said he was going to do during the campaign 2030 01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:26,800 Speaker 3: that he went in and did, and that's exactly what 2031 01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:27,200 Speaker 3: he did. 2032 01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:27,479 Speaker 8: It was. 2033 01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:29,760 Speaker 3: It was two hours long, but it was a very 2034 01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:32,320 Speaker 3: fast two hours. And you know, I think hearing directly 2035 01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:35,360 Speaker 3: from the from the President about what has been going 2036 01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:37,200 Speaker 3: on in Washington, d C. Is about the only way 2037 01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:42,200 Speaker 3: people get the truth. Everything that filled th through the 2038 01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:46,400 Speaker 3: media gets spun in a very negative way. Yes, I'm 2039 01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:49,200 Speaker 3: sure you saw the enthusiasm in the room, but one 2040 01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:52,280 Speaker 3: moment that stood out to me, Brian was at one 2041 01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:55,080 Speaker 3: point I started to clap for the President for pointing 2042 01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:59,120 Speaker 3: out that the Democrats voted to raise everyone's taxes, but 2043 01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:02,160 Speaker 3: I was immediately drowned out by them clapping for themselves. 2044 01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:05,080 Speaker 3: I mean, they're so proud of having screwed over working 2045 01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,439 Speaker 3: people in America. That was one of the very few 2046 01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:10,240 Speaker 3: applause moments we got from the Democrats. So I thought 2047 01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:15,560 Speaker 3: that that was a notable thing. Yes, And I was 2048 01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:18,439 Speaker 3: lucky enough to get to bring along Claremont County Sheriff 2049 01:49:18,600 --> 01:49:21,439 Speaker 3: Chris Stratton, who I've known for over thirty years, haven't 2050 01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:24,600 Speaker 3: worked at the Prosecutor's office back when around when he 2051 01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:27,840 Speaker 3: started at the sheriff's office, and he pointed out that 2052 01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:30,519 Speaker 3: you know, and you might have even seen his comments. 2053 01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:32,760 Speaker 3: He became sort of a media star there for a 2054 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,080 Speaker 3: little while because he at a roundtable he pointed out 2055 01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:39,040 Speaker 3: that the if you compare the first year of the 2056 01:49:39,120 --> 01:49:41,800 Speaker 3: Biden administration to the first year of the Trump administration, 2057 01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:45,759 Speaker 3: there's an eighty percent reduction in overdose deaths in Clermont County. 2058 01:49:46,120 --> 01:49:49,080 Speaker 3: And that's the everything to do with Trump's border policy 2059 01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:53,479 Speaker 3: and enforcement of the law inside the borders. And of 2060 01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:56,680 Speaker 3: course Sheriff Stratton is playing a huge role in that too. 2061 01:49:56,760 --> 01:50:01,080 Speaker 3: He's a he's our sheriff now, but he's served the 2062 01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:04,120 Speaker 3: county for over thirty years and doing a fantastic job, no. 2063 01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:07,240 Speaker 1: Question about that. I guess the one thing I'll observe, 2064 01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:10,840 Speaker 1: because I have my entire awareness of our national debt, 2065 01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:14,320 Speaker 1: have been a deficit hawk. And the work, the information, 2066 01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:16,360 Speaker 1: and the size of it just keeps getting worse and 2067 01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:18,600 Speaker 1: worse and worse. We're on track to use up one 2068 01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:21,240 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty percent of GDP paying the debt service. 2069 01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:23,200 Speaker 1: That is probably within the next ten years or so, 2070 01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,400 Speaker 1: on the track we are. Donald Trump didn't mention it 2071 01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:27,519 Speaker 1: at all, and no deficit hawk is Donald Trump. You 2072 01:50:27,560 --> 01:50:28,760 Speaker 1: look at the first term, and you look at the 2073 01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:31,360 Speaker 1: track we're on right now. That really worries me, so 2074 01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,600 Speaker 1: the absence of a comment about that we need to 2075 01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:37,320 Speaker 1: start cutting spending because at some point we're all going 2076 01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:39,040 Speaker 1: to have to have our taxes raised through the roof 2077 01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:40,479 Speaker 1: if we're going to ever try to pay it off, 2078 01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:41,760 Speaker 1: and we're on shaky ground. 2079 01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:46,040 Speaker 3: Congressman, I agree, Brian, and I do wish you would 2080 01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:48,919 Speaker 3: have mentioned that there has been a considerable reduction and deficit, 2081 01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:53,760 Speaker 3: not that it's affected the debt yet, but incredible growth 2082 01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:56,840 Speaker 3: we had for the first three quarters didn't result in 2083 01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:00,760 Speaker 3: a large reduction in deficit itself. But the only thing 2084 01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:02,519 Speaker 3: he mentioned on that point, and he may be right, 2085 01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:04,439 Speaker 3: I think he was kind of kidding, but I think 2086 01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:07,800 Speaker 3: it would be pretty close. If we actually got rid 2087 01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:11,479 Speaker 3: of the fraud that we're a billions of dollars a 2088 01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:14,360 Speaker 3: frauduct it would it would be a huge reduction in 2089 01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:16,920 Speaker 3: spending all by itself, and I think it would make 2090 01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:18,200 Speaker 3: a significant impact. 2091 01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:21,599 Speaker 1: Thank you, David Taylor. Amen to that. If Minnesota alone 2092 01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:25,200 Speaker 1: can be responsible for north of nine billion dollars in 2093 01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:28,040 Speaker 1: just a handful of government programs, and those are federal 2094 01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:31,040 Speaker 1: tax dollars, that's my dollars and year dollars and everybody 2095 01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:32,920 Speaker 1: outside of the state of Minnesota is footing the bill 2096 01:51:32,960 --> 01:51:36,679 Speaker 1: for that nonsense. One city, one city in one state 2097 01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:39,639 Speaker 1: in this country. You know, it is insane the amount 2098 01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:41,240 Speaker 1: of fraud that's out there. And boy, I wish we 2099 01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:43,240 Speaker 1: could crack down on that. JD. Van's going to go 2100 01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:45,040 Speaker 1: to work on that. I saw he's gonna He's cutting 2101 01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:47,639 Speaker 1: off the reimbursements to Minnesota. It's a big warning shot. 2102 01:51:47,920 --> 01:51:49,599 Speaker 1: They pad they spent that money already. 2103 01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:51,840 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure. 2104 01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:52,320 Speaker 1: And I was. 2105 01:51:52,800 --> 01:51:56,040 Speaker 3: I was thrilled to see the vice president put in 2106 01:51:56,160 --> 01:51:58,000 Speaker 3: charge of that project. I don't think you're going to 2107 01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:01,560 Speaker 3: see something similar to Kamala being put in charge of 2108 01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:04,800 Speaker 3: the southern borders and never even visiting the place. In 2109 01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:07,160 Speaker 3: this case, I think the Vice president will be all 2110 01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:11,680 Speaker 3: over that. And when you take decisive action early and say, hey, 2111 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:14,120 Speaker 3: the dollars are not coming until you clean up your act. 2112 01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:17,280 Speaker 3: Other states aren't under the microscope yet, take notice, and 2113 01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:21,599 Speaker 3: hopefully they voluntarily clean up what they're doing. 2114 01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:24,080 Speaker 1: Well, we know the Supreme Court ruled on Tariff's the 2115 01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:25,920 Speaker 1: other day, not favorable to Trump in a six or 2116 01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:28,680 Speaker 1: three decision that was based on the one statute or 2117 01:52:28,760 --> 01:52:31,440 Speaker 1: law that Donald Trump asserted and underclaiming there was an emergency. 2118 01:52:32,200 --> 01:52:34,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't have that authority, says the Supreme Court. So 2119 01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:37,360 Speaker 1: he pivots over to another set of statutes or laws 2120 01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:39,439 Speaker 1: that allow us to put some tariffs in place. You 2121 01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:41,719 Speaker 1: know that's going to be temporary by the time it's litigated. 2122 01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:43,639 Speaker 1: It maybe down the road a while. But I suspect 2123 01:52:43,680 --> 01:52:47,080 Speaker 1: the same result. Where are we without Donald Trump being 2124 01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:49,519 Speaker 1: able being free to levy tariffs? Do you think Congress 2125 01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:51,920 Speaker 1: will ever embrace the concept and an active on their 2126 01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 1: own or codify what he has tried to do so far? 2127 01:52:56,840 --> 01:53:00,640 Speaker 3: Well, while I don't agree with the the decision that 2128 01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:03,800 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court came down with, I don't think they 2129 01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:06,799 Speaker 3: They are as always a little bit of a frustrating 2130 01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:08,880 Speaker 3: decision with the Supreme Court. They don't give you all 2131 01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:13,400 Speaker 3: that you ask forever. In any case, they sort of 2132 01:53:13,720 --> 01:53:17,120 Speaker 3: make the narrowest decision they can possibly make, and they 2133 01:53:17,200 --> 01:53:20,559 Speaker 3: did that again. I think there's you know, obviously there's 2134 01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:25,560 Speaker 3: basis for several other ways for the presidents of the 2135 01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:28,960 Speaker 3: levy terriffs, and he's carrying on with that. The problem 2136 01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:34,880 Speaker 3: with the congressional action on on tariffs every other country 2137 01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:37,800 Speaker 3: in the world can do it flexibly and quickly, and 2138 01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:40,880 Speaker 3: we have to run every move through this this body 2139 01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:44,080 Speaker 3: that is is designed to be slow. So it's it's 2140 01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:49,160 Speaker 3: impossible to have a competitive situation that that should advantage 2141 01:53:49,240 --> 01:53:52,400 Speaker 3: or at least make us on level terms with other countries. 2142 01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:54,439 Speaker 3: So we do need to come up with a way 2143 01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:57,519 Speaker 3: that they can be used fairly to America's benefit, no 2144 01:53:57,600 --> 01:53:58,400 Speaker 3: matter who's president. 2145 01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:01,200 Speaker 1: I agree, but you know, you go to that pesky constitution. 2146 01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:02,960 Speaker 1: It does have to be interpreted and even to the 2147 01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:05,800 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Yet again, perhaps is interpreted in a way 2148 01:54:05,800 --> 01:54:08,320 Speaker 1: that we don't like. It does force a deliberative process. 2149 01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:10,640 Speaker 1: It requires Congress to get involved. And right, we're not 2150 01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:13,600 Speaker 1: a dictator. We're not Jijinping who can launch missiles and 2151 01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:16,839 Speaker 1: drop bombs whenever he decides he wants to or levy taxes. 2152 01:54:17,360 --> 01:54:21,479 Speaker 1: We're stuck with that constitution, so it can get. 2153 01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:28,040 Speaker 3: I agree completely that the executive branch is supposed to 2154 01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:32,200 Speaker 3: have jurisdiction over foreign affairs. I consider that certainly foreign 2155 01:54:32,240 --> 01:54:35,920 Speaker 3: affairs adjacent. Yes, it has to land somewhere that makes sense. 2156 01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:39,360 Speaker 1: Yes, he most certainly used tariff as a mechanism to 2157 01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:41,880 Speaker 1: engage in foreign affairs, and that was his argument. I 2158 01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,760 Speaker 1: understand that argument. Congressman David Taylor, thanks for the time 2159 01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:46,920 Speaker 1: you're willing to spend with my listeners and me from 2160 01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:49,280 Speaker 1: time time.

We'll just keep our popcorn 2166 01:55:04,160 --> 01:55:05,480 Speaker 1: out and pray to God that we're not going to 2167 01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:06,240 Speaker 1: go to war tomorrow. 2168 01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:10,880 Speaker 3: Brian, thanks for having me on, and there's a lot 2169 01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:12,760 Speaker 3: of important things to think about right now. It's good 2170 01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:13,920 Speaker 3: to be with you, it sure is. 2171 01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,480 Speaker 1: And thank you very much for engaging in the discussion 2172 01:55:16,520 --> 01:55:17,280 Speaker 1: here in the fifty five. 2173 01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:19,960 Speaker 7: Kick KINGRA the talk station. 2174 01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:24,360 Speaker 1: Hey thirty one fifty KRC the talk station.

Jack Windsor from 2178 01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:32,680 Speaker 1: the High Press Network joins a program every week at 2179 01:55:32,720 --> 01:55:34,200 Speaker 1: this time we try to get Jack Winsor on.

Welcome back, 2182 01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:41,400 Speaker 1: Jack Windsor. It's good to have you on the program 2183 01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:43,040 Speaker 1: and good to see you. I can see it. 2184 01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:45,920 Speaker 23: Yeah, it's good to be on with you. It's always 2185 01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:47,520 Speaker 23: an honor and a pleasure. Thanks for choosing me. 2186 01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:49,640 Speaker 1: Oh no, it's it's fun having a conversation with you. 2187 01:55:49,640 --> 01:55:52,400 Speaker 1: You really do pay a very close attention and you're 2188 01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, you've got excellent comments and his student observations 2189 01:55:55,080 --> 01:55:57,280 Speaker 1: on things going on in around Ohio. And I'm going 2190 01:55:57,360 --> 01:55:58,560 Speaker 1: to throw you a little bit of a curb. I 2191 01:55:58,600 --> 01:56:00,400 Speaker 1: know we're going to be talking about the rank choice 2192 01:56:00,480 --> 01:56:02,720 Speaker 1: voting the other day, which was a great outcome. And 2193 01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:07,240 Speaker 1: people don't understand, obviously the supremacy clause in various states 2194 01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:10,080 Speaker 1: trying to prohibit ice coming into their neighborhoods because it's 2195 01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:11,680 Speaker 1: the problem with that in the city of Cincinnati. By first, 2196 01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:14,360 Speaker 1: I know you're a huge fan of given the Cleveland 2197 01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:17,400 Speaker 1: Brown six hundred million dollars for their stadium, did you 2198 01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:20,000 Speaker 1: see all the people putting their hand in the unclaimed 2199 01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:22,080 Speaker 1: funds cookie jar now or at least trying to jack. 2200 01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:23,320 Speaker 3: Yes. 2201 01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:26,640 Speaker 23: Absolutely, And you know that's the thing. Once you open 2202 01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:31,520 Speaker 23: that door, everybody wants to walk in. And I say jokingly, 2203 01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:35,360 Speaker 23: but part of me means it. The Cleveland Browns might, 2204 01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:38,080 Speaker 23: I don't know, they might deliver some sort of public service. 2205 01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:39,720 Speaker 23: But I look at what you and I do, Brian, 2206 01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,120 Speaker 23: and what we do I think is more important for 2207 01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:45,400 Speaker 23: equipping voters to fulfill their civic duty. Why don't we 2208 01:56:45,520 --> 01:56:46,720 Speaker 23: get a few million dollars? 2209 01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:49,480 Speaker 1: That's me right, I was asking that question loud, all right, 2210 01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:52,040 Speaker 1: because the reality, as we all know this, of course 2211 01:56:52,080 --> 01:56:54,400 Speaker 1: I said it a few times this morning. The asks 2212 01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:58,520 Speaker 1: from government are always unlimited. The finite or the reality is, 2213 01:56:58,600 --> 01:57:00,560 Speaker 1: is a finite amount of money. So what would you 2214 01:57:00,720 --> 01:57:03,400 Speaker 1: spend a billion dollars on if you were in charge 2215 01:57:03,400 --> 01:57:05,040 Speaker 1: of the money. And the last thing on my list 2216 01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:08,040 Speaker 1: would be anything related to sports complexes, especially when you 2217 01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,280 Speaker 1: got folks like the Cleveland brown multi multi millionaires. They're 2218 01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:13,680 Speaker 1: supposed to make a profit. It's a going concern. It's 2219 01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:17,120 Speaker 1: a business worth billions of dollars. Okay, we had a 2220 01:57:17,320 --> 01:57:20,520 Speaker 1: listener call in just to your point, he said, I'm 2221 01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:22,920 Speaker 1: seven years old. You know I'm feeling I got paying 2222 01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:25,520 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. His warranties up, he said, 2223 01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:27,839 Speaker 1: I think I deserve the money. How about a weekened 2224 01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:31,960 Speaker 1: week end warrior fund for those people who become exhausted 2225 01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:34,320 Speaker 1: from their day to day living and earning their whole life. 2226 01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:35,840 Speaker 1: How about kicking back a little bit to them? 2227 01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:40,920 Speaker 23: Hey, listen, there are valid arguments if the Cleveland Browns 2228 01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:44,320 Speaker 23: get money. There are many, many people who would have 2229 01:57:44,480 --> 01:57:47,600 Speaker 23: an extremely valid argument to the common man why they 2230 01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:49,720 Speaker 23: should get money. And the last thing I will say 2231 01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:52,560 Speaker 23: is this, if you listen to or read anything in 2232 01:57:52,640 --> 01:57:55,040 Speaker 23: the investment world, they'll tell you that past performance is 2233 01:57:55,120 --> 01:57:57,520 Speaker 23: no indication of future performance, but you ought to pay 2234 01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:00,600 Speaker 23: attention to what the past performance is. Well, the Cleveland 2235 01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:04,360 Speaker 23: Browns are just an abysmal losing organization. Why would I 2236 01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:07,000 Speaker 23: want to assist the Cleveland brownsing By the way, I 2237 01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:08,880 Speaker 23: grew up a Cleveland Browns fan. I just don't think 2238 01:58:08,920 --> 01:58:11,640 Speaker 23: they have any any right putting their hand in the 2239 01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:12,240 Speaker 23: cookie jar. 2240 01:58:12,280 --> 01:58:15,040 Speaker 1: Well, regardless of how they play, because there's no guarantee. 2241 01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:17,240 Speaker 1: You know, the world's an imperfect place. Screws fall out 2242 01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:20,400 Speaker 1: and top rank five hundred million dollar contract. Quarterbacks do 2243 01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:21,040 Speaker 1: get injured. 2244 01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:26,040 Speaker 23: You got no control over that, true, but yeah, just 2245 01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:27,800 Speaker 23: don't get a massage when you get hurt, right, right, 2246 01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:28,760 Speaker 23: if you're a Browns quarterback. 2247 01:58:28,840 --> 01:58:31,120 Speaker 1: But the more fundamental question is, let's look at past performance. 2248 01:58:31,160 --> 01:58:34,080 Speaker 1: How much money, for example, did the Cleveland Browns actually 2249 01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:38,200 Speaker 1: generate as a consequence of any given football game being played? 2250 01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:40,600 Speaker 1: Can you really put that on paper? Is it really 2251 01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:43,240 Speaker 1: worth as much money as they're planning on spending the 2252 01:58:43,280 --> 01:58:46,280 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars on? Is there an ROI? I would argue 2253 01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:46,880 Speaker 1: probably not. 2254 01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:50,240 Speaker 23: No, And in fact, there are people who are a 2255 01:58:50,320 --> 01:58:52,920 Speaker 23: lot smarter than me that have done the analysis here. 2256 01:58:53,080 --> 01:58:55,240 Speaker 15: Yes, And it's always the marketing plan. 2257 01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:57,160 Speaker 23: The voters get the marketing plan, but when you look 2258 01:58:57,200 --> 01:59:00,120 Speaker 23: at the operational plan, the ROI, the prom and this 2259 01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:01,600 Speaker 23: is they're never fulfilled. 2260 01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:03,480 Speaker 15: This is an ongoing issue. 2261 01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:07,960 Speaker 23: Yet for some reason, lawmakers people in power here in 2262 01:59:08,200 --> 01:59:11,920 Speaker 23: the Buckeye State, most recently, they buy it hook line 2263 01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:12,360 Speaker 23: and sinker. 2264 01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:14,920 Speaker 1: They do the Ohio Press Network dot com.

One of the ones I highlighted earlier 2281 02:00:00,320 --> 02:00:03,400 Speaker 1: this morning and made the comment about Faith Baptist Church 2282 02:00:03,480 --> 02:00:06,040 Speaker 1: in Shelby County's looking for three quarters I'm sorry, looking 2283 02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:07,720 Speaker 1: for yeah, three quarters of a million dollars for the 2284 02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:11,680 Speaker 1: construction of the Kingdom Sports Complex described as an indoor 2285 02:00:11,680 --> 02:00:14,240 Speaker 1: sports facility. I said, I guess you know that's in 2286 02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:17,080 Speaker 1: honor of all the sports that Jesus played. And you 2287 02:00:17,080 --> 02:00:19,600 Speaker 1: remember reading in the Bible about that. I was saying, 2288 02:00:19,640 --> 02:00:21,560 Speaker 1: maybe he was a lacrosse player or something, but Joe 2289 02:00:21,640 --> 02:00:26,600 Speaker 1: pointed out, no water polo. Because he did so, I said, Joe, 2290 02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:29,080 Speaker 1: create a meme. And this is I was cracking up 2291 02:00:29,160 --> 02:00:34,320 Speaker 1: because Joe sent me the chat GPT created meme and 2292 02:00:34,440 --> 02:00:37,280 Speaker 1: it's Jesus walking on water with the water ball of 2293 02:00:37,320 --> 02:00:39,440 Speaker 1: his All the other apostles and disciples are in the 2294 02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:44,320 Speaker 1: water saying, hey, hey, come on, that's unfair. So levity 2295 02:00:44,440 --> 02:00:47,240 Speaker 1: on a Friday. Hey, you know, I hear he was 2296 02:00:47,640 --> 02:00:51,560 Speaker 1: quite the carpenter. He might put Louisville slugger out of business. 2297 02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:53,920 Speaker 1: I would say that he you know what, you just 2298 02:00:54,040 --> 02:00:57,480 Speaker 1: qualified him for the to make a claim to the fund. 2299 02:00:57,600 --> 02:01:00,960 Speaker 1: Congratulations Jack, That's why I appreciate your joining in the 2300 02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:03,600 Speaker 1: fund on a Friday. Here. Now, pivoting over ranked choice 2301 02:01:03,680 --> 02:01:06,640 Speaker 1: voting is no longer lawful in the state of Ohio. 2302 02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:08,920 Speaker 1: Tell us about Senate Bill sixty three and the vote 2303 02:01:08,960 --> 02:01:10,320 Speaker 1: in the House yesterday or the other day. 2304 02:01:10,840 --> 02:01:12,720 Speaker 23: Yeah, so there was a vote in the House sixty 2305 02:01:12,760 --> 02:01:15,920 Speaker 23: three to twenty seven to to pass an amended version 2306 02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:18,480 Speaker 23: of Senate Built sixty three. Now it does have to 2307 02:01:18,560 --> 02:01:20,920 Speaker 23: go back unless it happened yesterday back to the Senate 2308 02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:25,000 Speaker 23: quickly where it will get passed very very quickly. But 2309 02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:28,000 Speaker 23: the House puts something in it that would require anyone 2310 02:01:28,440 --> 02:01:32,640 Speaker 23: who requests a ranked choice ballot that that information would 2311 02:01:32,640 --> 02:01:34,480 Speaker 23: be made public. They wanted to make sure that if 2312 02:01:34,520 --> 02:01:37,200 Speaker 23: anyone was trying to do this that they were exposed. 2313 02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:40,360 Speaker 23: But what the bill will do is it will outlaw 2314 02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:41,880 Speaker 23: ranked choice voting. 2315 02:01:42,120 --> 02:01:43,080 Speaker 15: And you go, well, why is that? 2316 02:01:43,200 --> 02:01:47,440 Speaker 23: Well, because proponents argue, it's about ensuring election integrity, fair elections, 2317 02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:50,280 Speaker 23: and protecting democracy. It's what the left likes to say 2318 02:01:50,600 --> 02:01:54,240 Speaker 23: from what they see as confusing or manipulative voting tactics. 2319 02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:58,040 Speaker 23: Now it's more than one person, one vote, right, That 2320 02:01:58,240 --> 02:01:59,920 Speaker 23: was the mantra we heard a couple of years ago. 2321 02:02:00,760 --> 02:02:02,320 Speaker 15: That's the simple explanation. 2322 02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:05,560 Speaker 23: The more complex explanation is that ranked choice voting let's 2323 02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:09,280 Speaker 23: voters rank candidates in order of preference rather than making 2324 02:02:09,480 --> 02:02:13,520 Speaker 23: one choice, and if no candidate in the election receives 2325 02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:16,840 Speaker 23: more than fifty percent, the lowest vote getter is eliminated, 2326 02:02:17,080 --> 02:02:21,600 Speaker 23: and then those votes are redistributed until a majority is reached. 2327 02:02:22,080 --> 02:02:27,040 Speaker 23: And this has created chaos, confusion wherever it has been done. 2328 02:02:27,320 --> 02:02:31,280 Speaker 23: And I reminded our readers in the story that this 2329 02:02:31,480 --> 02:02:33,560 Speaker 23: was done in Ohio in the early nineteen hundreds of 2330 02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:37,800 Speaker 23: through the nineteen fifties, and the places that tried it, 2331 02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:41,920 Speaker 23: they eventually walked away from it. And it looks like 2332 02:02:42,120 --> 02:02:45,120 Speaker 23: it will then be back in place where ranked choice 2333 02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:48,000 Speaker 23: voting is not only not the preferred voting method, but 2334 02:02:48,080 --> 02:02:49,560 Speaker 23: it would be outlawed. 2335 02:02:49,640 --> 02:02:51,200 Speaker 15: Now you go, does it have teeth? 2336 02:02:51,360 --> 02:02:56,000 Speaker 23: Yes, the local government fund would be withheld from any 2337 02:02:56,120 --> 02:02:59,800 Speaker 23: municipality or chartered county that tries to use ranked. 2338 02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:02,920 Speaker 1: Choice vot Oh, the financial penalty goes along with it. Yeah, 2339 02:03:03,200 --> 02:03:08,080 Speaker 1: well that's you know, carrots and penalties. You accept the 2340 02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:10,160 Speaker 1: money to your own peril, or you don't take the 2341 02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:12,560 Speaker 1: money of your own peril. Either way, it reminds me 2342 02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:14,920 Speaker 1: of the extortion that was loving on Ohio back when 2343 02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:17,160 Speaker 1: I was I guess I was already grandfathered in. When 2344 02:03:17,200 --> 02:03:19,280 Speaker 1: the drinking age was changed. The federal GOM withheld our 2345 02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:24,040 Speaker 1: highway funds unless we voted to increase the drinking age 2346 02:03:24,040 --> 02:03:27,440 Speaker 1: of twenty one. That's extortion. But they've got the money 2347 02:03:27,480 --> 02:03:29,160 Speaker 1: and they have control over where it goes and how 2348 02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:31,320 Speaker 1: it's spent, so they can put those kind of strings attached. 2349 02:03:31,320 --> 02:03:33,120 Speaker 15: I guess yeah, they can. 2350 02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:35,440 Speaker 23: And you know, one of the arguments was that this 2351 02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:42,440 Speaker 23: violates Ohio's constitution with respect to local control or local rule, 2352 02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:47,320 Speaker 23: and opponents quickly point out that, no, the legislature has 2353 02:03:47,360 --> 02:03:50,240 Speaker 23: the right to regulate elections here in the Buckeye State. 2354 02:03:50,280 --> 02:03:55,080 Speaker 23: The other misnomer that's being argued is that it would 2355 02:03:56,000 --> 02:04:00,880 Speaker 23: disenfranchise voters and it would allow what we would consider 2356 02:04:01,000 --> 02:04:06,240 Speaker 23: mud slinging and campaigns to continue. Opponents say that those 2357 02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:09,840 Speaker 23: two things would be addressed, but unfortunately for them, there 2358 02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:12,040 Speaker 23: was a study at the University of Minnesota in two 2359 02:04:12,080 --> 02:04:15,480 Speaker 23: thousand and three that said rank choice voting does not 2360 02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:19,360 Speaker 23: reduce negative campaigning or polarization, and does not boost voter 2361 02:04:19,520 --> 02:04:23,600 Speaker 23: turnout or the diversity of winners. So the arguments that 2362 02:04:23,720 --> 02:04:26,680 Speaker 23: detractors are making really just don't hold up when you 2363 02:04:26,760 --> 02:04:27,480 Speaker 23: look at the facts. 2364 02:04:27,640 --> 02:04:30,600 Speaker 1: Well, given the claim that it violates a House constitution, 2365 02:04:30,760 --> 02:04:32,640 Speaker 1: I trust that at some point someone's going to file 2366 02:04:33,240 --> 02:04:36,800 Speaker 1: a lawsuit claiming that the act isn't in it self unconstitutional. 2367 02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:40,200 Speaker 23: Yes, And in fact, I had Marcel Sturbige on this 2368 02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:43,360 Speaker 23: show yesterday. I invited Robert Sprague. He has not returned 2369 02:04:43,400 --> 02:04:46,840 Speaker 23: my calls. But Marcel came on and said, one of 2370 02:04:46,880 --> 02:04:48,800 Speaker 23: the challenges with this law is that it will be 2371 02:04:48,920 --> 02:04:54,480 Speaker 23: contested and it may be found that withholding money is 2372 02:04:54,600 --> 02:04:57,840 Speaker 23: not legal, and so that may take the teeth out 2373 02:04:57,840 --> 02:04:59,919 Speaker 23: of it, and then all of a sudden you've codified 2374 02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:02,720 Speaker 23: ranked choice voting. So his argument is this needs to 2375 02:05:02,800 --> 02:05:05,960 Speaker 23: be a constitutional amendment where it's no longer negotiable. 2376 02:05:06,120 --> 02:05:08,400 Speaker 1: Fair enough, We'll continue with Jack Windsor and hear about 2377 02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:12,040 Speaker 1: the failure to understand the supremacy clause. Here in Ohio the. 2378 02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:13,040 Speaker 7: Talk station. 2379 02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:20,520 Speaker 1: Eight nine, the fifty five KRC, the talk station by 2380 02:05:20,600 --> 02:05:24,000 Speaker 1: Thomas right here, wishing everyone a very happy Friday. Put 2381 02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:24,760 Speaker 1: a smile on your. 2382 02:05:24,680 --> 02:05:38,680 Speaker 6: Face, say it to yourself. 2383 02:05:38,760 --> 02:05:44,360 Speaker 1: Jack Windsor, what a wonderful world. In the Jack Winsor 2384 02:05:44,360 --> 02:05:46,000 Speaker 1: from the Hoigh Press Network on the program, We're going 2385 02:05:46,040 --> 02:05:49,520 Speaker 1: to dive on into well the supremacy clause specifically, I 2386 02:05:49,560 --> 02:05:53,120 Speaker 1: guess Clumbus City Council doesn't understand the Constitution or its workings. 2387 02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:55,640 Speaker 1: But real quick, here in your honor, Jack Judge Strecker 2388 02:05:55,720 --> 02:05:58,560 Speaker 1: made a meme of Jesus putting Louisville Slugger out of business. 2389 02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:00,280 Speaker 1: He said he would send it to you later on 2390 02:06:00,360 --> 02:06:04,560 Speaker 1: this later in the day. So we got one more. Anyway, 2391 02:06:04,800 --> 02:06:07,240 Speaker 1: let's go to the Columbus City Council passing an ordinance 2392 02:06:07,240 --> 02:06:11,760 Speaker 1: to restrict ICE agents. Looks like Jack froze up. You there, 2393 02:06:14,760 --> 02:06:16,880 Speaker 1: We got it. We have a technical difficulty, Joe Air, 2394 02:06:16,960 --> 02:06:17,960 Speaker 1: are you a back Jack. 2395 02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:20,400 Speaker 15: I'm here, I'm here, Sorry about that. That's all right, 2396 02:06:20,600 --> 02:06:21,000 Speaker 15: all right, So. 2397 02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:24,440 Speaker 1: Columbus City Council and City of Cincinnai's doing something along 2398 02:06:24,480 --> 02:06:26,120 Speaker 1: these same lines. Let's talk about this, Jack. 2399 02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:30,839 Speaker 23: Yeah, it's pretty disturbing. So city council here in Columbus 2400 02:06:30,920 --> 02:06:34,880 Speaker 23: passed some ordinances to bar Columbus police from entering agreements 2401 02:06:34,960 --> 02:06:39,839 Speaker 23: with ICE to carry out federal immigration work, to prohibit 2402 02:06:39,880 --> 02:06:43,760 Speaker 23: city employees from taking second jobs with ICE, to require 2403 02:06:43,880 --> 02:06:47,600 Speaker 23: a special use permit for any detention centers, a step 2404 02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:51,280 Speaker 23: that effectively blocks new facilities, to forbid ICE from using 2405 02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:54,760 Speaker 23: city owned parking lots, garages, vacant land for operations. 2406 02:06:54,480 --> 02:06:56,680 Speaker 15: Without out a judge's warrant, to make it. 2407 02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:59,400 Speaker 23: A first degree misdemeanor punishable by up to three days 2408 02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:01,560 Speaker 23: in jail and a thousand dollars fine. To harass, stalk, 2409 02:07:01,880 --> 02:07:04,880 Speaker 23: or obstruct people at schools or daycare centers, so on 2410 02:07:05,120 --> 02:07:09,440 Speaker 23: and so forth. And so the city council is doing 2411 02:07:09,600 --> 02:07:12,840 Speaker 23: exactly what the mayor here Andrew Ginther, is doing, which 2412 02:07:12,880 --> 02:07:17,280 Speaker 23: is they're continuing to posture and let everyone know that 2413 02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:20,760 Speaker 23: they do not want to play nice with ICE agents. 2414 02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:25,160 Speaker 23: And it goes to the heart of what you're talking about, Brian. 2415 02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:28,840 Speaker 23: Unfortunately for city council, I don't know how many of 2416 02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:32,480 Speaker 23: them have read the United States Constitution. Because the president 2417 02:07:32,560 --> 02:07:36,320 Speaker 23: has full prerogative to enforce laws on the books. That 2418 02:07:36,480 --> 02:07:40,680 Speaker 23: means that ICE agents, border patrol agents, homeland security investigators 2419 02:07:40,720 --> 02:07:44,560 Speaker 23: can do exactly what they are doing, and if localities 2420 02:07:44,600 --> 02:07:49,680 Speaker 23: want to push back, too bad, because immigration is the 2421 02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:55,120 Speaker 23: express or the express authority in creating immigration laws and 2422 02:07:55,240 --> 02:07:57,920 Speaker 23: practices resides with the federal government. So there's really no 2423 02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:01,000 Speaker 23: reason that I think they're doing this, Brian, other than 2424 02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:02,440 Speaker 23: just political posturing. 2425 02:08:02,520 --> 02:08:05,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, state judges must follow federal law, and conflicts arise 2426 02:08:05,480 --> 02:08:10,880 Speaker 1: with state laws or constitution, so boom. Those obviously were 2427 02:08:10,960 --> 02:08:13,840 Speaker 1: designed to conflict with federal law. 2428 02:08:15,320 --> 02:08:19,880 Speaker 23: Yes, and so I think again, like many people on 2429 02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:21,960 Speaker 23: the left, these folks are trying to appeal to their 2430 02:08:22,080 --> 02:08:25,720 Speaker 23: extreme left voters doing the dog and pony show. Eventually 2431 02:08:25,920 --> 02:08:29,000 Speaker 23: this will get tossed out, it will be found unenforceable. 2432 02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:30,480 Speaker 23: But they can go back to their voting base and 2433 02:08:30,560 --> 02:08:32,520 Speaker 23: go see, see we pushed back against the. 2434 02:08:32,560 --> 02:08:36,040 Speaker 1: Bad guys, virtue signaling, Hey we tried, those evil Republicans. 2435 02:08:36,080 --> 02:08:38,960 Speaker 1: Wouldn't let us do it? All right? D pivoting over yeah, 2436 02:08:39,160 --> 02:08:42,040 Speaker 1: Jack windsor just general reaction. No opinions are like sphincters. 2437 02:08:42,080 --> 02:08:43,720 Speaker 1: We've all got one. But just curious to know your 2438 02:08:43,760 --> 02:08:45,960 Speaker 1: reaction to the State of the Union address? Have everything 2439 02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:47,800 Speaker 1: in it you wanted? Was it missing something? One of 2440 02:08:47,840 --> 02:08:49,800 Speaker 1: the things that was missing for me was, you know, 2441 02:08:49,960 --> 02:08:52,920 Speaker 1: a profound comment on the state of the grave state 2442 02:08:52,960 --> 02:08:55,200 Speaker 1: we're in with regard to the national debt. Donald Trump 2443 02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:58,040 Speaker 1: no deficit hawks, So we got that as a genuine problem. 2444 02:08:58,080 --> 02:08:59,960 Speaker 1: But beyond that, I thought it was pretty damn good. 2445 02:09:02,040 --> 02:09:05,000 Speaker 23: My thirty thousand foot analysis, Brian, I hate to be 2446 02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:07,520 Speaker 23: this guy because I get accused of being, you know, 2447 02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:09,640 Speaker 23: a Trump boot licker, and I'm not. I think it's 2448 02:09:09,680 --> 02:09:12,120 Speaker 23: one of the best speeches he's ever given. He covered 2449 02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:15,840 Speaker 23: the economy, the border, energy, foreign policy, government efficiency. He 2450 02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:20,320 Speaker 23: did an incredible job of honoring heroic Americans, and I 2451 02:09:20,520 --> 02:09:22,720 Speaker 23: think I felt more like an American and after watching 2452 02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:24,840 Speaker 23: that speech than I have any other State of the 2453 02:09:24,920 --> 02:09:28,400 Speaker 23: Union address in my recent memory. And the thing that 2454 02:09:28,440 --> 02:09:30,880 Speaker 23: Trump did that he doesn't often do is he stayed 2455 02:09:30,920 --> 02:09:33,080 Speaker 23: on target. And when he did make those off the 2456 02:09:33,120 --> 02:09:37,000 Speaker 23: cuff comments, they were gold. When he said these people 2457 02:09:37,040 --> 02:09:41,400 Speaker 23: are crazy, everybody in the country that has a fair 2458 02:09:41,520 --> 02:09:42,520 Speaker 23: mind kind of went. 2459 02:09:42,720 --> 02:09:44,760 Speaker 15: You know, they're kind of right he is. 2460 02:09:45,360 --> 02:09:47,720 Speaker 1: You know, That's I guess something else I completely agree 2461 02:09:47,720 --> 02:09:50,120 Speaker 1: with you about. Jack. I was worried, you know, I 2462 02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:52,160 Speaker 1: woke up in the morning he said the longest presidential 2463 02:09:52,200 --> 02:09:54,040 Speaker 1: address in the history, and like, I hadn't read it yet, 2464 02:09:54,040 --> 02:09:55,320 Speaker 1: and I didn't get to watch it because I go 2465 02:09:55,400 --> 02:09:56,800 Speaker 1: to bed at EPM, you know, I gotta get up 2466 02:09:56,800 --> 02:09:59,720 Speaker 1: at two thirty. But when I read it, I was 2467 02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:01,880 Speaker 1: so please and know in spite of the length, that 2468 02:10:02,000 --> 02:10:05,920 Speaker 1: he really stayed on message. You could read the topic 2469 02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:08,200 Speaker 1: here it comes boom on this, blah blah blah, blah 2470 02:10:08,200 --> 02:10:10,040 Speaker 1: blah blah, on this, blah blah blah. And I think 2471 02:10:10,080 --> 02:10:12,800 Speaker 1: he hit all the major topics and certainly highlighted the 2472 02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:14,480 Speaker 1: accomplishments of the first year. 2473 02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:17,160 Speaker 23: Yes, and I think if I still have just a 2474 02:10:17,240 --> 02:10:19,600 Speaker 23: moment here. I think he set a bear trap that 2475 02:10:19,680 --> 02:10:22,560 Speaker 23: the Democrats walked right into. It was brilliant for him 2476 02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:25,200 Speaker 23: to say, stand up if you believe the number one 2477 02:10:25,280 --> 02:10:28,800 Speaker 23: responsibility of the federal government is to protect American citizens, 2478 02:10:28,960 --> 02:10:31,280 Speaker 23: and all the Democrats sat down, maybe with the exception 2479 02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:32,000 Speaker 23: of John Fetterman. 2480 02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:33,080 Speaker 1: That was brilliant. 2481 02:10:33,280 --> 02:10:35,360 Speaker 23: If you're a running for office and you're a Republican 2482 02:10:35,400 --> 02:10:37,600 Speaker 23: this year, you ought to put that in your campaign commercial. 2483 02:10:37,760 --> 02:10:39,920 Speaker 1: Excellent. Well, you would get accused of being a bootlooker, 2484 02:10:39,960 --> 02:10:42,520 Speaker 1: and Ernie thinks there's an email I got from Ernie. 2485 02:10:42,680 --> 02:10:45,480 Speaker 1: As usual, you don't agree with the president. So yeah, 2486 02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:48,640 Speaker 1: opinions of likesphincters, everybody's got one, and sometimes they're wrong. 2487 02:10:49,360 --> 02:10:52,600 Speaker 1: Jack windsor the Ohio Pressnetwork dot Com. I'll look forward 2488 02:10:52,640 --> 02:10:54,040 Speaker 1: to having you back on the show next week. Jack, 2489 02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:57,080 Speaker 1: have a great weekend, you too, brother.
