1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,600 Speaker 1: Good to see Adam in. A Happy New Year to 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: you man. 3 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you too, Brian, It's great to be back in here. 4 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: It's as sad there's really nothing in the world to 5 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: talk about, not locally, not nationally, not in the state. 6 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's a dead news cycle. 7 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the worst state is Minnesota. There's absolutely nothing 8 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: going on. 9 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: I know, nothing at all at all, my word and anyhow, 10 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: So with that joke out of the side, plenty to 11 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: talk about, of course. So the city of Cincinnati has 12 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: been keeping you busy. You're you know, we have Todd Zinzer. 13 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: We call him Citizen Watchdog, that's his podcast. You're a 14 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: parallel to Todd Zenzer in that you keep your eye 15 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: on the what I always refer to jokingly as shenanigans, 16 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: but sort of the you know, question marks going on 17 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: with since a city council, the silence from since a 18 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: city council. You know, why in the hell is it 19 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: that they don't support the police. We could go on 20 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: and on and on, but these are the kind of 21 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: things that you regularly focus on throughout the year. And 22 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: the place that you point out these things the Cincinnati Exchange. 23 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we decided to start our own newspaper, you know, 24 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: running in a couple elections and then helping Corey with 25 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: his most recent campaign, and and you know, you see 26 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: how that turned out. You know, a lot of conservatives 27 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: just feel like their voice isn't being heard in local 28 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: news organizations, you know, especially local papers, and over time, 29 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: I think a lot of those news organizations in general, 30 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: you know, even though the much larger ones have been 31 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: their newsrooms have been taken over by activists. There's even 32 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: a collective bargaining agreement with one of the unions in 33 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: this in the Democratic Socialists of America, which is pretty wild. 34 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: Yeah really, yeah, look it up. It's yeah, the News 35 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: Guild and the Democratic Socialists of America have a collective 36 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: bargaining agreement between each other. 37 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: Maybe that's what Bobby, who calls in the program refers to. 38 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: He just he randomly throws that collective bargaining agreements, and 39 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm quite often I'm like puzzled over what prompted that. 40 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: Maybe that's exactly. 41 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: Because there are some some DSA employees that are also 42 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: in the union and they have their own kind of 43 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: deal worked out. Not that the DSA is somehow influence 44 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: seeing the newsrooms. But I mean when you have DSA, 45 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: people who are pretty far left activists, who are also 46 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: working in some of these newsrooms. 47 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: And they are influencing the news, you. 48 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: Would assume, yeah, at least some of the larger. 49 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: Ones, you know, And I'm sure that shocks no one. 50 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: That shocks nobody, because if anybody who watches any kind 51 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: of mainstream news or reads any sort of mainstream papers, 52 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you can just read the bias. It's I mean, 53 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: hear it. It's just so obvious. It's it's all. I 54 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: feel almost embarrassed for them calling themselves a news organization 55 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: because when I think news, I think traditionally an unbiased 56 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: reporting of the facts. Right, there was a killing in 57 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: Minnesota and ice agent shot a woman who was obviously 58 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: trying to drive her car, And was it justified. Some 59 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: people are saying it isn't. Some people are saying it is. 60 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: That's a neutral, boiled down analysis of what is ultimately 61 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: a very complicated issue. But once you start interjecting this 62 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: was murder robber, that's not news. That becomes opinion, and 63 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: that seems to me where all news has gone. 64 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: That's right, and it's it's gotten very sensationalized, but on 65 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: the bias of the people in the newsroom. And you 66 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: know how this can be infectious. You get one activist 67 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: person in there who's outspoken, You've got other people who 68 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: aren't as outspoken. They just want to come in and 69 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 2: do their jobs. They can be influenced by those people. 70 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: Oh here, what immediately popped into my mind the team 71 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: meeting at work. You got your boss in the room, 72 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: and your boss comes up with some kind of a 73 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: solution or suggestion for a new work function or whatever. 74 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: Does anybody to have any problems or objections with that? No, 75 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: it's her idea. She's the queen of the room, and 76 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: somebody inside has got this point. Oh my god, had 77 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: she thought about maybe this happening? Because that doesn't sound 78 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: like it's going to work out really well. Now, you 79 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: keep your mouth shut. 80 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, that's exactly great to make the point. Well, 81 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: and you don't want to lose your job. 82 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: You don't want to be ostracized. 83 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: Right, and then if it gets too toxic, you end 84 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: up leaving, And then what happened. Only five percent now 85 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: of journalists consider themselves conservative. The vast majority consider themselves 86 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: either kind of centrists right, because that's their job actually 87 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: is just so who knows if they're even telling the 88 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: truth on that. But many of them are democrat or 89 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 2: they consider themselves far left. So that's a big, big 90 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: problem if that's the case. And that's what the numbers 91 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 2: are showing. That's an actual survey that was taken, so 92 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: people can actually look that up. But also something came 93 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: out just recently that I saw where men, particularly conservative 94 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: men of European descent, were kept out of newsrooms. So 95 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: this whole DEI thing they kind of went overboard. Well, yeah, 96 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: and your voice, my voice, the things that we believe 97 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: in are not being written anymore. So that's where you 98 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: see these headlines that are slanted more to the left. 99 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: And it's a big problem in news. And it wasn't 100 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: just that, like that's stuff I found recently. We've been 101 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: building this newspaper for a while now. It actually launched 102 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: maybe two months ago. But the idea was we called 103 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 2: it to sin say Exchange, because it's an exchange of ideas. 104 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: It's an exchange of everybody's ideas, and I wanted to 105 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: bring people like Todd and Todd's actually written for it 106 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: and bring those folks in bring those voices in that 107 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 2: don't feel heard and aren't getting op eds printed in 108 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: local newspapers. 109 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: And nobody provides more supportive documentation or implement or information 110 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: than a guy like Todd Zenzer. He's an important voice. 111 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: Yes he has an opinion about it, But here are 112 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: the documents which gave rise to my commentary or gave 113 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: rise to my criticism about the mayor or council or 114 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: what's going on behind the scenes or Chryl Long. It's like, oh, 115 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: you're just some bright wing concern. No, no, here, here 116 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: is the reason why I'm making this criticism. They haven't 117 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: followed food with paperwork, they haven't followed through with where 118 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: the money went. Fill in the bike. Why didn't they 119 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: buy the trucks we needed to do snow removal? I mean, 120 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: he looks into that and then provides, you know, the 121 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: credibility for it. Yeah, nobody's listening to him. 122 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: Well, And you don't want to feel like you're being 123 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: bullied by Plumb Street, right, Yeah. And a lot of 124 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: times those news organizations, you know, they're either ideologically ideologically 125 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: tied to what's going on at Plum Street, or they're 126 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 2: just afraid to challenge what's going on down there. Guys 127 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: like Todd are not afraid, No, not at all. Smitherman 128 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: not afraid, right, And those two podcasts are actually streaming 129 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: on our home page of the website. 130 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: The Cincinnati Exchange dot com.

I mean, 150 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: we've got a bunch of people. You go to our 151 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: bout page and you'll see everybody that contributes to the paper. 152 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I even got my my personal trainer looped 153 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: in somehow, my buddy Josh Smith to write some health articles, 154 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: you know, calories in, calories out type of stuff. 155 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: But we got a new food pyramid by the way, right, 156 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: I mean I go back to the four four three 157 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: two era back in the seventies, you know, and they 158 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: were really focusing on grains and and that's like the bottom. 159 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: They treat grains and bread and things of that nature, 160 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: like carbohydrates like they used to treat sugar. 161 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah. And before the break, we were 162 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: just talking about food. We're talking about healthy habits and 163 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: things that you've been doing, things that I do. And 164 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: it's really important to have that. But you know, it's 165 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: also important when you're talking about the news to tell 166 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: the truth, amen, and to try to get out here 167 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: and have that other perspective. And the problem is is 168 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: so the city of Cincinnatis. You could see in Corey's 169 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 2: campaign eighty twenty, which was surprising to me. But that's 170 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: the city. When you go across the river, you get 171 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: out into the suburbs, you get up into Butler Warren County, 172 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: those places are still served by Cincinnati media. 173 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: Yes, they are so those people. 174 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: And you know when I was running, I was running 175 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: for Hamblin County. So go out in different parts of 176 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: Hamilton County and you talk to these folks and they're 177 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: the ones who are like, I'm canceling my subscription to this. 178 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 2: I don't want to read this anymore. I don't feel like, 179 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: you know, my perspective or what I see, how I 180 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 2: see the world is portrayed in this particular news So 181 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: there's an audience there that isn't and serve correct by 182 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: the current media outside of like your your your podcast, 183 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 2: this show. You know some I'd say, Trisha Mackie, she's 184 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: doing a great job, but there's some people out here 185 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: that just say, look, I don't feel like I want 186 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 2: to read this thing anymore because you know, it's just 187 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: not serving me. So there's an opportunity there for another 188 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: news group to come in here that wants to tell 189 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,479 Speaker 2: the truth that wants to bring in local voices instead 190 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 2: of local staff. So I want to bring these people in, 191 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: mix it up a little bit and have these stories 192 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: told from the people's perspective. 193 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you'll, of course you're inviting people to offer content, 194 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: it sounds like to me. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean 195 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: people can come in. It's like writing a letter to 196 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: the editor. You may get it published in the Enquiry. 197 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: You may not. 198 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. 199 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: Now, that's I suppose that's a may or may not 200 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: with you as well. But if you've got some legitimate 201 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: point to make, if it's logical, it's reasonable, and it 202 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: presents your side of the ledger, go ahead and send 203 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: it into Adam over at the the since a change. 204 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: Maybe you'll actually see it in print and it might 205 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: get read by someone. That's right. 206 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, And guys like Todd. You know, I trust Todd. 207 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 2: You know I've I've I've talked Todd so many times. 208 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: We were involved in the whole railroad sale thing. Uh, 209 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 2: you know, Todd knows what he's doing. I mean he does. 210 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: Former US Inspector General, and you know, dots his eyes, 211 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 2: crosses his t's and he's the type of guy I 212 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: want to I want to hear from and Tom Brickman. 213 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: I mean, who's better at talking about tax than Tom Brick? 214 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: Right? 215 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 2: So I mean you got guys like that that I've 216 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: met through my political experience. Uh, you know, people with 217 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: some of these organizations that are very concerned about what's 218 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: going on in the city. I mean, look at what 219 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 2: just happened. You had AFTAB come out after they promised 220 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: there wouldn't be any new taxes, you know, because of 221 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: the railroad. Yeah exactly, Yeah, George Bush all over again, right, 222 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: and Bush at least faced consequences for it. That's why 223 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 2: Aftab kept his powder dried till after he got elected. 224 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: And then he says, oh, by the way, I'm gonna 225 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: raise your income tax exactly all the name of public safety. Though, Adam, 226 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: this time, it's not equal housing or affordable housing or 227 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: some kind of nonsensical left wing program, it's republic safety. 228 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: Right where you've been on that topic for so long. 229 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: Well, they've been hating on the police. 230 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: They have been, yes, ganging up on them with obviously 231 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: the intended result nobody wants to be a cop anymore, 232 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: or we are now struggling with it. One more with 233 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: Adam Keyler, followed by Congressman David Taylor after the top 234 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: of the Our News will continue in a moment here 235 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: at seven forty six right now fifty five KR City 236 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: Talk station, And another opportunity for me to remind you 237 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: that there is a the talk station seven fifty here 238 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: fifty five KR City Talk station, probably Eve again. Congressman 239 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: David Taylor after the top of the Our News with 240 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: Jay Ratliffe if our aviation expert at the bottom of 241 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: the next hour. In the meantime, Adam Keayler in studio. 242 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: And you really should, you really should bookmark and I 243 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: know regularly recommend websites of folks, But if you want local, 244 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: balanced information about what's going on, you feel like you're 245 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: not getting it from your local news outlets, maybe like 246 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: the Inquirer kind of rubs you the wrong way for 247 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: some reason, or you're reporting from Fox nineteen or five 248 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: or nine or twelve, the Cincinnati Exchange dot com. May 249 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: even get your own stuff putt it in there. I 250 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: know you've had some good donations, some good offerings, including 251 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: Corey Bowman just recently wrote an article Carea on crime 252 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: in the area. That's great, but moving away from that 253 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: sort of local element, and I don't want to take 254 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: the time away, but you and I just stumbled ssembled 255 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: upon something I brought up earlier this morning. I saw yesterday, 256 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: and this is an article right there on this sin 257 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: say exchange corporate home buying ban. Trump moves to block 258 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 1: institutional investors from buying up all these houses. We know 259 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: that's going on, and there are some regions of the 260 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: country where the city, the home ownership in the city 261 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: it's like maybe comprised of fifteen to twenty twenty five 262 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: percent of like a black Rock ownership. 263 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: Oh, black Rock owns a lot, hundreds of thousands of units, 264 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: all right. 265 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: The capitalist in me says, well, wait a second, this 266 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: is government interference. They are a buyer. It's an open market. 267 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: They should be free to buy. But the realist in 268 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: me knows that's making things very difficult for the regular 269 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: I want to buy a house homeowner, the American dream. 270 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: They've been priced out of the market because Blackrock shows 271 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: up with, you know, an extra hundred thousand dollars and 272 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: you can't compete with that. So I was struggling with 273 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: that reality. Donald Trump's trying to appeal to the populism. 274 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: And this is a remarkable I said this morning. It 275 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: sounds like an idea that came from democrats. 276 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: It totally does. Well, remember Trump used to be a Democrat. 277 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: That he is who whatever is. 278 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: Also he's also real estate guy, right, and he knows 279 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 2: what he's been hearing. I mean, you know, if I'm 280 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 2: a political advisor and I'm talking to him right now, say, look, 281 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: the vast majority of people want cheap houses versus love blackrock, right. 282 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: Right, overwhelmingly overwhelming. 283 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I think I think it's it's 284 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: a little bit of overreach. I mean, the same thing 285 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,599 Speaker 2: he did with the Intel, right. I mean, guys like 286 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: you and I, more libertarian type folks, yes, you know, 287 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: we see stuff like that. We're like, whoa, wait a minute, 288 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: government overreach, but in a different way, right yep. And 289 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: then you look at places like New York. I mean, 290 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: look what Mumdanie's doing. 291 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: Listeners, Adam's going to shed a light on something that 292 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: probably should frighten you. Go ahead, Adams. 293 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: Well, and this is the kind of thing I don't 294 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 2: think would get covered correctly here locally. But there's this 295 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 2: thing called the Kopa in New York, and what it 296 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: does is it doesn't necessarily seize property outright. The one 297 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: big thing we're scared of with communism, right and socialism, 298 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: eventually it leads to property seizure. Well, if you own property. 299 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: The elimination of private property is the goal. 300 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: That's it, right. And then redistribution this is what they promise, right, 301 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: So it restricts who you can sell your property to. 302 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: And then it slows down the process. So you actually 303 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: have to offer your commercial property. Okay, So I own 304 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: a building in New York, YEP, I want to sell it. 305 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: I'm moving, YEP. I have to go to this entity 306 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: and say I'm selling my home. Give them it's the 307 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: right of first refusal, correct, exactly. And in America, you 308 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: want to sell your property as quickly as possible. 309 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: Right. 310 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: You think I live in America, I own proper in America. 311 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 2: I could sell it to whoever I want to sell 312 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: it to, not in the city of New York. 313 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: So you have a buyer under that scenario and they 314 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: want to offer you, let's say a million dollars for 315 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: this property, you still must go to that entity and 316 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: give them the option of outbidding yep. 317 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: And nonprofits tied to the government right, and the government 318 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: itself gets right a first refusal. You actually, even if 319 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: you've got a deal on the table with a buyer, 320 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: you have to offer your property up to one of 321 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: these nonprofits. And if it's in a great area, do 322 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: you think the city of New York, Mum Donnie is 323 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 2: going to find the money to give to a nonprofit 324 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: who's going to purchase your property? 325 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: And what is phase two or perhaps phase three, which 326 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: is the ultimate goal in this nonsense. The left wing organizations, 327 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: basically a conglomerate of all these organizations will collectively get together, 328 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: it becomes sort of the left wing black Rock's right 329 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: and buy up these properties because they have the right 330 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: of first refusal. And then what do they do with them? 331 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 2: Oh, they bring in a whole bunch of people that 332 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: vote the way they want them to vote, and they 333 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: stick them in these units.
