1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Seven hundred WLW Mike Allen and Saturday Midday kind of

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: a cold Saturday morning. Before I do anything, I wanted

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: to congratulate and recognize my friend Gary Jeff Walker for

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: twenty nine years in this job. And you know what

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm still new to radio and don't understand

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: the ins and outs of the business certainly like Gary Jeff.

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: But that's quite an accomplishment. I mean, to do something

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: for twenty nine years straight anywhere is a big deal,

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: but especially in radio. I got to know Gary Jeff,

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: not you know, face to face, but through radio. When

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: he did Sunday Morning. I forget what station it was,

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: Breakfast with the Beatles. It was what they call appointment

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: radio because I tuned in just about every Sunday. But

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: congratulations to him. That's a big deal. That's a big deal.

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: And the guy, no matter what, always makes me laugh

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: and always makes me smile. So congratulations Scary Jeff. Okay,

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: let's get down to business because there is so much

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: going on. It's really one of those deals where you

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: don't know where to begin. And by the way, I'm

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: still struggling a little bit with a cold, so just

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: kind of bear with me. Hopefully I'll get rid of

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: it completely over the weekend, but everybody knows by now.

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Yesterday the United States Supreme Court struck down the bulk

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: of President Trump's tariffs. It's a major case, probably the

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 1: biggest one for him so far in a second term.

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: It was a six to three decision, and the majority,

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: written by the Chief Justice, ruled that the President lacked

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: the authority to unilaterally impose these tariffs under the International

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Emergency Economic Powers Act AIPA. They refer to it. Just

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: a little history on that. I don't know a lot

31
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: about it, but I do know some things about it. AIPA,

32
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: this emergent the Economic Powers Act wasn't acted by Congress

33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: because of President Nixon. Of course, President Nixon had been

34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: gone for a while, but there was a deal where

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't remember the specifics of why he did it,

36
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: but he imposed some pretty steep tariffs too, and it

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: got to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court ended

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: up siding with President Nixon. Of course, like I said,

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: he was gone by then, But so Congress did this

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: AEPA as a result of that. The interesting thing about

41
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: this is, I guess from a legal perspective and I'm

42
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: not going to tell you I read. I think it's

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: like one hundred and sixty page decision. The interesting thing

44
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: about it is, according to the descent the three dissenting justices,

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: they were, let's see Clarence Thomas, the greatest Supreme Court

46
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: justice in my lifetime, Samuel Alito and Kavanaugh pointed out,

47
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: especially Cavanall, that hey, you know, wait a minute, this

48
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: might not be the only avenue you have, mister president.

49
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: Of course, Kavanaugh didn't write that or say that, but

50
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: and Trump, I think was ready for it, obviously disappointed.

51
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean you could tell that just from watching him.

52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: Very disappointed. And I get it. I don't agree with

53
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: the way he chastised some members of the court. I mean,

54
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why he does that. I love the man.

55
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: He's the second best president in my lifetime. Ronald Reagan

56
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: will always be the best. But it doesn't help. But whatever,

57
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: that's just him, like everyone, myself included, you got to

58
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: take the good with the bad. But anyway, the bottom

59
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: line is they gave him kind of a roadmap, if

60
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: you will, to get this done. Not intentionally, but there's

61
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things that he can do as far

62
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: as options obviously he believes deeply in terris and when

63
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: it comes to economic matters, I'm gonna be honest with

64
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: you and just say it ain't my cup of tea,

65
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: if you will. But on those kind of things, I

66
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: defer to him because there's probably no one better in

67
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: the world at figuring that stuff out than Donald Trump.

68
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: So you haven't heard the last of it. He's got

69
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: a Plan B, and my guess is probably a Plan C,

70
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: D and E as well. And he doesn't like to lose.

71
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: So I don't think you've heard the end of this.

72
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: But as I said, the dissent was Justice Claire's, Thomas,

73
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh. The decision of itself really

74
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: sparks some things that the President said, which again you know,

75
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: he said he ruled the rule. He slammed the ruling

76
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: as a disgrace, absolutely ashamed of the justices who voted

77
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: against him, particularly Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. And

78
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: maybe it's a lawyer and me, I don't know. I mean,

79
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: we are pretty much under a obligation not to publicly

80
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: criticized judges. It's rare when that happens. But Trump's not

81
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: a lawyer. I mean, I'm not saying that that's the

82
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: be all to end all, but again, I just wish

83
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: he would dial that back a little bit with respect

84
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: to the market. From what I have read, the reaction

85
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: was the stocks initially rallied following the decision. I don't

86
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: know what happened later on in the day. But the Democrats,

87
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: you know what, They're always going to act just the

88
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: way you think they're going to act, and react that way.

89
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Some Democrat governors JB. Pritzker of Illinois, boy, I'm liking

90
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: him less and less as time goes on. And of

91
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: course Gavin Newscomb, they have already demanded refund checks for

92
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: families to offset the costs passed on to the consumers.

93
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: And you know what, that's the first thing that a

94
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: Democrat will do. Let's give out some money. Let's send

95
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: all kinds of refund checks out like Sleepy Joe did,

96
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: and drive inflation again back through the ceiling. So they're

97
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: all over and for it. They're they're dancing in the

98
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: aisles and happy. But you know what, like I said,

99
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: we have not seen the end of this by a

100
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: long shot. The volatile it was a volatile day on

101
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: Wall Street. Because of this, it'll be interesting to see

102
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: that where it ends up, you know, going on next week.

103
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: He's got Plan B, Like I said, I think he's

104
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: got probably planed C, D and E as well. So

105
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: let's just see what happens. But really, I mean, more ominously,

106
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: I think we are on the verge of a major, major, major,

107
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: I believe attack on Iran. And say what you want

108
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump, he's no warmonger. He's quite the contrary,

109
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: quite the opposite. Before he became president, frequently opposed to

110
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: using US force unless absolutely necessary. And I think he's

111
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: governed himself that way in his first term certainly, and

112
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: his second term as well. But Iran, they push all

113
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: the buttons they do, and since nineteen seventy nine, I mean,

114
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: they've kind of rubbed our nose in it and time

115
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: after time after time. And here's the bottom line. If

116
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: President Trump knows this, he's a smart man. They cannot

117
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: have nuclear capacity. They just cannot have that, and he's

118
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: not going to let them have that. I guess officially

119
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't decided to strike Iran, but he's going to.

120
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just no question. He says he's considering

121
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: a limited military strike, and he wants to pressure Iran

122
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: into a nuclear deal. But the thing of it is,

123
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: and there's no better person in the world as far

124
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: as getting a deal done than Donald J. Trump period

125
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: end of sentence. But how do you negotiate with people

126
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: that you can't trust, that constantly lie to you? And

127
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: this isn't something new with them, Like I said, it's

128
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: going on since at least nineteen seventy nine. But a

129
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: decision is expected within the next ten to fifteen days.

130
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: There is the USS Gerald R. Ford that is headed

131
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: that way, expected to arrive there by mid March, and

132
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: he's already got the aircraft carrier. Two of them, I guess,

133
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: USS Abraham Lincoln, and I think there was another one.

134
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: The Abraham Lincoln is in the Arabian Sea just kind

135
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: of waiting for the order. But you got to wonder,

136
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean, how he's going to do it. Will it

137
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: be a limited kind of what they call one and

138
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: done strike or something more extended, a bombing campaign, perhaps

139
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: massive naval and air presence that's now in the region.

140
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: You know, we can pretty much and you don't want

141
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: to get cocky about this, and I know the President

142
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: doesn't think this way, But we can pretty much do

143
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: whatever the hell we want with those people. I mean,

144
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: we could blast them off the face of the planet.

145
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not advocating that, I'm not, but again I mean,

146
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: how long are you going to give these people? And

147
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: I hope whatever we do it's in concert with Israel,

148
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: because Israel owes us, and boy, I tell you, if

149
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: Iran is a threat to anyone, it's a threat to Israel.

150
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: So I would expect and hope that if and when

151
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: it's probably more like when now, it's not so much

152
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: as an if we strike them, that Israel in one way,

153
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: shape or form helps us out with it. Or you

154
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: could have a full scale military operation, a regime change

155
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: situation that would probably take boots on the ground, which

156
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody wants, and our air power is

157
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: just so incredible and so powerful and so versatile that

158
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: we might not need that. So I guess we will

159
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: have to just kind of wait and see. Now, Iron

160
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: for their part, they have won, and I laugh when

161
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,479
Speaker 1: I hear this. They have warned of a quote decisive

162
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: and quote regret inducing response, So again, yes, they can respond,

163
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: but that's just them being bellicos, as they always are,

164
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: so we'll just have to see. But again, it could

165
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: happen this weekend, it could happen next week, could happen

166
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: the following week. But I think you can rest assured

167
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: that it is going to happen. Well, let me do

168
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: this and this rant on kind of a humorous note

169
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: compliments of Alexandrio Acossio Cortes. She was over Unich this

170
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: week for the Munich Security Conference. She had no business

171
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: being over there, none whatsoever, and she made a damn

172
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: fool of herself and the world literally the world was

173
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: there to see it, and just got a short clip

174
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: of her word salad. She puts Kamala Harris to shame

175
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: on this one. Liam, Can you play that please? Would

176
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: and should the US actually commit US troops to defend

177
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: Taiwan if China were to move?

178
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: You know, I think that.

179
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: This is such a you know, I think that.

180
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: This is a.

181
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: This is of course, a very long standing policy of

182
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: the United States, and I think what we are hoping

183
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: for is that we want to make sure that we

184
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: never get to that point, and we want to make

185
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 3: sure that we are moving in all of our economic

186
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation

187
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 3: and for that question to even arise.

188
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there you go on the world stage, literally

189
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: on the world stage. She made herself look like the

190
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: absolute fool that she is. This woman has no business,

191
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: just like Kamala Harris even thinking about being president of

192
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: the United States. I mean these Democrats again, Kamala and her,

193
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: they think, well, you know what, I have a high profile,

194
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: I make a good appearance, so therefore if so fapso

195
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: I can be president. No. No, And I'm glad that happened.

196
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: I haven't heard what her response to the response to

197
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: her word salad is, but at some point you can

198
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: rest assured she'll blame it on you know, feminism, that

199
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But just made an absolute fool of

200
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: herself with the world salad heard around the world. And

201
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: again I asked the question, why was she even there?

202
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how this thing works. I

203
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: would imagine it would have to be by invitation. And

204
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't you think, and this is the same thing with

205
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: Harris too, wouldn't you think if you're on the world

206
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: stage like that, if you have some major public announcement

207
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: or whatever you're gonna make, you would prepare for it

208
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: it's really really quite simple. You got something like that, man,

209
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: you don't go up and wing it. You just don't.

210
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: It's like a lawyer preparing for a big trial. The

211
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: lawyer doesn't breeze on into the courtroom without having prepared

212
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: at all. So again, why was she there? I guess

213
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: it was her idiot's tour, and she certainly made a

214
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: fool of herself, you know. And she also they asked

215
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: her about what the question inherent in the question was

216
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: what is the United States position with respect to the

217
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: defense of Taiwan? And you know, I mean we have

218
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: been bound, I think justifiably and rightfully so to defend

219
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: them since Chang Kai shehek got chased over there by

220
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: the Chinese. But it's a defense of what it's a

221
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: policy of what they call strategic ambiguity. And that's smart

222
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: and that goes back to President Nixon. And if you

223
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: look to prior presidents Democrats Republicans, when they get a

224
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: question like that, what they would say is, well, you know,

225
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: we'll have to evaluate all our options blah blah blah

226
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. And that's kind of what the

227
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: policy is. And I think it's a wise one. Apparently

228
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: she didn't even realize that. So these people, like I said,

229
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: they are just not serious people. They're not think about it,

230
00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: think about AOC or Kamala Harris go in toe to

231
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: toe with President Chi of China or any other world

232
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: ruler that is not in our corner. So it's just

233
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: it amazes me that they think that they've got the uh,

234
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: they've got the moxie to do the job, because they don't. Now,

235
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you had Marco Rubio who absolutely

236
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: wowed the people over there. I mean that guy. I

237
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: was you know when he was named Secretary of State,

238
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, he'll do an adequate job

239
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: at least. But man, he is impressing some people. He's

240
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: very serious. He doesn't take any crop out of it

241
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: off of anyone, especially the media. He is he's probably

242
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: the best in the administration of If he gets an

243
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: unfair what he perceives to be an unfair question, he's

244
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: going to get right in that journalist quote unquote face

245
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: in a respectful but kind of a four tone. But

246
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: he is really respected on the world stage. He got

247
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: up there and said some things that for many in

248
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: that audience weren't really favorable to Europe and certain European countries.

249
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: He got a standing ovation. He's where he should be.

250
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's earned that, and he's doing an amazing

251
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: job with it. That's what I mean. You know, these

252
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: people AOC and Kamala, they're just not They're not ready

253
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: for prime time if you will, and they probably will

254
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: never be. You know, they think, oh, I can be

255
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: president of the United States. I can help so many people.

256
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: You know, I can do this program and I can

257
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: get that program going blah blah blah without even a

258
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: thought of any kind of foreign policy chops. So we

259
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: shall see what happens with that. She claims now that well,

260
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: she's not sure whether she's going to run for president

261
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: or not. I think that she will, and I'll tell

262
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: you what, it would be the best thing that ever

263
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: happened to this country if she did decide to run,

264
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: because with the Veneer off of her, I think it

265
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: would be a worse situation than Kamala. But we shall see. Hey, listen,

266
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: we got to take a break for the news. But

267
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: as always, I want to know what you think. Seven

268
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: four nine, seven thousand, one eight hundred The Big One.

269
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: Mike Allen Saturday midday the bear cat. I'll tell you what,

270
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: it was an interesting week. Next week promises to be

271
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: interesting as well. Everybody's on pins and needles with the

272
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: situation with Iran. I have confidence in the President that

273
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: he will make the right call. I have real confidence

274
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: in our military that whatever call he makes, it will

275
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: be executed flawlessly. Our military amazes me. I mean, it

276
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: just does. The situation with Maduro, I mean, that was

277
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: a surgical type operation and strike, and the young men

278
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: and women our armed forces now, I think, are smarter

279
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: and better and better prepared, better equipped than anytime ever before.

280
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: So we just have to sit and watch him, wait

281
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: and see what happens with that, and pray. I guess too. Hey,

282
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: let's talk to our friend George in Columbus. Hello, George, Hi.

283
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: Mike, Yeah, you sound better today.

284
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 6: It sounds like you're getting over your cold.

285
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 5: To the tariff the Supreme Court, you got John Roberts,

286
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 5: he betrayed, you know, George Bush appointed him, and then

287
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: you got Amy Barrett and Neil Gorset. What's going on

288
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 5: with them? Well, it's just like a completed betrayal.

289
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: Let me let me give you my lawyer answer, and

290
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: I honestly do believe this. Here's the thing. When somebody

291
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: becomes a judge, whether it's municipal court judge like I

292
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: was a common please judge of Pellet, federal judge, and

293
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: especially the United States Supreme Court, you decide or you

294
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: are supposed to decide the case based upon the facts

295
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: and the laws, irregardless of the political situation. Now, as

296
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: a practical matter, does that happen all the time? No,

297
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: it does not, And I would pose it that when

298
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen nine times out of ten, it's the

299
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: other side. I mean, we have a Supreme Court justice

300
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: in Katanji Brown who really is an activist masquerading as

301
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice. So you know what, I got

302
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: to take them at their word. I do. And maybe

303
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: a judge could give the president or the benefit of

304
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: the doubt if it's if it's a close call, but

305
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: they have to follow the law as they see it

306
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: and do what they have to do based upon the

307
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: law and the facts. Now that may sound like a

308
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: mealy mouthed answer, but it's the answer that I believe in.

309
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: I guess yeah.

310
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 5: I noticed the Kavanaugh Kavanaugh wrote the dissension that Biden

311
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 5: and used his emergency mandate powers to enforce the COVID

312
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 5: vaccine on all the healthcare workers in the military.

313
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 7: Right, yeah, yeah, he used that.

314
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 5: And you know you can't reverse that. How you're gonna

315
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: take the vaccine back out of those people?

316
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: Well, and you're right, and you're right, and I get

317
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: what you're saying. And a lot of people are mad

318
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: at those three, uh or not the three the majority.

319
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: But again, I gotta hope and expect that they decided

320
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: it based upon what they interpreted the law to be

321
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: as applied to the facts. Now having said that, though

322
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: George Gorsa especially left open the uh I'm sorry, Brett Kavanaugh,

323
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: the possibility that the president can do it another way.

324
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: Apparently he can do it a couple of other ways.

325
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: I don't contend that I understand the issue completely. But

326
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: if you know Donald Trump, and I know you do,

327
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: he's got something up asleep. He's got a plan an

328
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: A or excuse me, BC D and E I'll bet ye.

329
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 5: Thretty acts that were past years ago the news I

330
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 5: listened to his news conference after the ruling. Cavan O

331
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 5: Cavan old content told me about these three acts that

332
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 5: were that could be used.

333
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 6: He can do something.

334
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, he can do something. Yeah, Mike, I'm excited about

335
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 5: the red I know you are.

336
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: Man, Hey, you know what first first spring training game today?

337
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm excited.

338
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna be a real, real good contender this.

339
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, and you think about it with that manager

340
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: Tito Francona, uh and that staff that he's got, and

341
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: especially picking up a Euanio Suarez differ. I'm optimistic. I

342
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: think what did I pick? I think I picked uh not, yeah,

343
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: I picked ninety wins. I think ye, he picked eighty

344
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: three or something like that.

345
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 7: But I'll pick ninety three.

346
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm optimistic.

347
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm always optimistic when it comes to the Reds.

348
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 5: Have a good weekend, Mike.

349
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: Okay you do. Thank you, George, thanks for the call. Yeah,

350
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. I mean, I you know, you

351
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: get this horrible weather and the way my mind always,

352
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: even when I was a kid, it's like, well, okay,

353
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: here we are, we're just about into March, and all

354
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: we got to do is kind of tough it through

355
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: one more month and then it's baseball and then summer

356
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: and spring are here. So but you know what he's

357
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: it really is an interesting season for the Reds. I

358
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if they do very well. I

359
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: think by some Oh I know because I saw it.

360
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: They're picked by some to finish second in the division.

361
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: And the Cubs apparently helped themselves too, they were picked first.

362
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: But I'll be ready to go, and I'll be watching.

363
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: I think we are, though. I think it's tomorrow. The

364
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: game's televised. Of course we're going to have it here

365
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: on the radio, so we'll see. Hey, let's talk to

Speaker 2: What you got for me fantastic.

370
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 8: A couple of points, and I just wanted to respond

371
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 8: to something back to the last call. You know, I'm

372

Speaker 8: sure that you know you're a former judge, right, yea,

373
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 8: that the amount.

374
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: Of people that are saying.

375
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 8: These justices don't there, they don't know no one, no

376
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 8: one can explain to you the case law and then

377
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 8: the arguments and the reasons for the dissensions, and and

378
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 8: and why it went that way, and and if you

379
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 8: have any you know, these people understand who the court

380
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 8: is made up of. For them to say six to three.

381
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: No, come on. Okay, so that that's just comment.

382
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 8: I want to say, though, what you know, what I

383
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,480

Speaker 8: of like you said, sleepy Joe earlier. Ye, it might

385
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 8: be time to it might be time to retire that

386
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 8: moniker because your boy has fallen asleep in front of

387
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 8: the world like five or six times in the last month. Okay,

388
00:23:59,320 --> 00:23:59,960

00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,800

00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 9: You know.

395
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,359

399
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:31,199

Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about the Iran thing.

404

Speaker 1: Yes?

405
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 8: So, uh, your your president campaigned on America first isolation,

406
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 8: no new ors.

407
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,200

Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what we're protecting our country is

409
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: what we're doing. You want those people? Are you want

410
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: those people. Are they in Iran to have the capacity

411
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: to use a nuclear weapon against potential.

412
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 8: And do you have any And Mike, do you have

413
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 8: any idea how close or how far away they are

414
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 8: from that?

415
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 6: You don't know?

416
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: I don't.

417
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: But here's the difference. Here's the difference. Hey, here's the difference.

418
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: I trust the president. I trust the president. He'll make

419
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: the right decision. He made the right decision on the.

420
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 2: G one four versus three point something.

421
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: All right, I'll always want you to You're out of here, goodbye,

422
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I try, I try, I try,

423
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: I try. And it's just that that's what you get

424
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: with them. And it's not just here, it's everywhere. Everything

425
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: is performative with the left. Hey, let's call the talk

426
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: show host and uh get into a big argument with

427
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: him about nothing. Okay, Donald Trump fell asleep five times?

428
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean I follow stuff closely,

429
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: and I definitely would have heard about that now as

430
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: he maybe closed his eyes a cup of times. I

431
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: have heard that big deal, big deal. I mean, think

432
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: about it. The man's seventy nine years old and and

433
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: he functions like a thirty nine year old. But going

434
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: through all those time zones with the jet lag. Is

435
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: he allowed to close his eyes for thirty seconds? I

436
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: don't even think it was that long. Yeah, he is.

437
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: And you know why that is because they have nothing, nothing, zero, zilch.

438
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: When's the last time you heard Chucky Schumer Hakim I

439
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: never smile, Jeffries. Those two guys ever propose anything of substance.

440
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: When has any Democrat in the House or Senate made

441
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: any serious proposals for anything? It's all Trump Trump, Trump,

442
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: We hate him. He's a Nazi. Blah blah blah blah blah. Again,

443
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: that's what you get. I've wasted enough energy on that stuff.

444
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Rick and Florence.

445
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 10: Hello, Rick, mhm, hey Rex, good morning, Uh, great great show.

00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 4: Talk to you. Mike.

449
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 10: I always listened to on Saturday. I really like it.

00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 10: You're you're very common sense oriented you. But I have

451
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 10: some questions here. Maybe you can help me out because

452
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 10: I've seen a lot of this on social media. Look,

453
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 10: we hear about the deftnes files, and so far the

454
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 10: only person that's been arrested is, of course, Jeffrey Epstein.

455
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 10: Is Juzelle max Backwell whatever her name is and now

456
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 10: Chris Andrews, and we hear this investigation after investigation and

457
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 10: nobody ever seems to get arrested to these things.

458
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: Good point.

459
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 10: Then you hear the other side. Then you hear this conspy.

460
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 10: I'm not a big conspiracy guy, but then you hear

461
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 10: the take about Anty Yuckery that is the biggest mystery

462
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 10: on the planet that she gets disappears, and they're saying

463
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 10: it just a distraction because now you're not hearing about

464
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 10: Ice anymore, and you're hearing about Nancy Gubrie all the time,

465
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 10: but nobody's getting arrested. In Epstein's case, was supposedly he

466
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 10: was doing all these terrible things. But if they arrest

467
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 10: the people who were really doing it, then it's could

468
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 10: have bring the world to a screeching all because all

469
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 10: these leaders and I kind of kind of want your

470
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 10: cake on that. It's like, sure, all this what we're

471
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 10: seeing or a lot of stuff going on in the

472
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 10: background here that we just don't know about it, things just.

473
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: Trying to be It's it's a really good question, Rick,

474
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: I'll let you go and I'm gonna answer it. Okay,

475
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: let's take it one at a time here with respect

476
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: to Epstein. This is a very good question. I mean,

477
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: why is there only one person Epstein himself ever charged

478
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: criminally now Prince Andrew, I don't know. I mean, maybe

479
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: he will, maybe he won't. I don't really know the

480
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: British system. But it's you would think there would be more,

481
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: and potentially, potentially there will be more. But a lot

482
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: of it too, is what jurisdiction, statute limitations and that

483
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But I mean, that guy you talk

484
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: about getting around, I mean, he had so many people

485
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: coming to him, and you know why they were. I mean,

486
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: you don't even have to say it. Why they cozied

487
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: up to him. I'll tell you. I wish we could

488
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: get through the next three years of Trump's term without

489
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: any Epstein, but we're going to. And could the President

490
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: have handled it better? I think so. Yeah, there is

491
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: no evidence, I'm going to be clear about this whatsoever

492
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: that Trump did anything unlawful, illegal, or immoral vis a

493
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: Vie Jeffrey Epstein. It just ain't there. You think if

494
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: there was that Biden his administration Merrick Garland wouldn't have

495
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: been all over the place with it during the election.

496
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: But it's a good question, and it's not a completed question.

497
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: You know what.

498
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: Amazes me they talk about they had millions, plural of documents.

499
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: How the hell does one guy generate all of that?

500
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: So maybe you haven't heard the last of it. I

501
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: don't know. It's a distraction, but because of the victims

502
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: and the nature of the offense is it's something that

503
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: has to be pursued. We shall see Nancy Guthrie. What

504
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: a horrible, hard, heartbreaking story. I mean, I almost hate

505
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: to say this, but I think the odds are kind

506
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: of slim that she will be rescued alive. I hate

507
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: saying that, but I've just gotta be honest about it.

508
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: The coverage, I think, and I love Fox News, but

509
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: they'd be at the top of this list, a little

510
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: bit over the top. I mean, they get all these experts,

511
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: and how many times can you say, we just don't know,

512
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: we just don't know. I think it's easing off now,

513
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: but just a heartbreak for that family, and I do

514
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: think probably sooner rather than later, they'll at least be

515
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: able to identify the perpetrators. The thing now is that

516
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense to me that it was

517
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: a botched burglary. I don't know I'm not privy to anything.

518
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: I know is what I see in the media, but

519
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: I think they need to start dialing back the coverage

520
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: of it a little bit. Okay. I hope that answered

521
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: his question. I honestly tried to. Okay, let's see who

522
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: is up next. Hey, let's go to CHEVOI Dan, Hey, Dan,

523
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: how you doing?

524
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 11: Hey, I gotta talk about your last caller real quick.

525
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 11: I'm gonna make two points and then get off, so

526
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 11: I don't fill a buster yet.

527
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 9: Okay.

528
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 11: So the first thing is when he tried to talk

529
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 11: to you and you try to use logic. In fact,

530
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 11: he started screaming, like when your wife is yelling at

531
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 11: you about something you didn't do and you use logic

532
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 11: and try to like to start, like, you know, figure

533
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 11: out what's really wrong, and she just gets louder. Yep,

534
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 11: that dude has like the argument of an angry wife.

535
00:31:59,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 11: That's in there.

536
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: But that's why I but that's what they do. That's

537
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 1: what they do Dan, over and over and over. They

538
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: won't debate on.

539
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 7: The substance sleepy.

540
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 11: The reason you can call him sleepy Joe is because

541
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 11: that guy had like a three to four hour window

542
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 11: while doped up to give a word salad and fumble, yeah,

543
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 11: prompt speaks for a half hour off the cuff, forty

544
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 11: five minutes off the cuff. I have a regular nine

545
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 11: to five plus, like a side hauling business, so I

546
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 11: work about sixty hours a week. That man is like

547
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 11: eighty something, almost ninety, and he puts up more hours

548
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 11: than me, So he does his off once.

549
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I think he's seventy nine pushing eighty, but

550
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: it's absolutely amazing. And you add on top of that,

551
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 1: the guy's always traveling the jet lag. I mean, I

552
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: haven't traveled internationally that much, but a little bit. That

553
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: is a burden for a young person. Now he's phenomenal,

554
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: and you know, I have never heard of any incident

555
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: where he fell asleep. You don't think the liberal media

556
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: would have been all over that if that happened. That's

557
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: what you get with these people, though they will not

558
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: debate on substance. It's just and one more sure.

559
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 11: I got one more point before I let you go

560
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 11: when it comes to you trusting him making good decisions.

561
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 11: At the end of Joe Biden on my retirement, I

562
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 11: made like two point eight two for a year. Last year,

563
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 11: I pulled about almost thirteen percent year to date, and

564
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 11: so far this year, I'm almost four percent. Trump is

565
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 11: usually beating what I made a year off Biden within

566
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 11: the first two months of the year.

567
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: Yep.

568
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 11: So as a working man, that's enough for me to

569
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 11: trust him. And if anyone can keep up with his

570
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 11: schedule at seventy nine and only those off five times

571
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 11: in a year, I'd be proud.

572
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: There you go, man, I appreciate that call. Dan, thank you,

573
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: And he's right. I mean, I believe he's seventy nine

574
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: and seventy nine years of age. To keep the pace

575
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: that he keeps, it's unbelievable. And Biden, I'll tell you what.

576
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't think we've heard the whole story of Josun

577
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: Robinette Biden at all. That guy was non compassmentous, I

578
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 1: would say, probably one year or so into his term.

579
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: And what amazes, I mean, absolutely staggers me, is that

580
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: there were people that wanted to put that guy up

581
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: to be president of the United States until the year

582
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine. I mean, think about that, think about

583
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: I think the main one was doctor Jill, who, by

584
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 1: all accounts, was enamored of being first lady and man.

585
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: She didn't want to leave that and that's not the

586
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to go. I fervently believe that, and

587
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: this is the way it is now. He will be

588
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: recognized as the worst president in the history of this country.

589
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: Estimates anywhere from ten million to twenty million people just

590
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: crossing the border and let them all in. I heard

591
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: something this week about they're concerned about how many young

592
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: military age Chinese people came in comedy Chinese people. It's

593
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: it was just and you know, even when he was compassmentous,

594
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: he was no great litigator or legislator. So you know,

595
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: we'll have to see how that comes out. But what

596
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: a disaster that guy has been for this country. All right, listen,

597
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: we got to take a break. But when we get back,

598
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to somebody that I wanted to

599
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: make sure we kept in touch with, and that is

600
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman. Corey was, of course, the Republican candidate for

601
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: mayor of the city of Cincinnati. Ran an amazing race,

602
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: and he ran a race on the issues too, and

603
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: I just wanted to check in with him to see

604
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 1: how he's doing and ask him about some issues facing

605
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. We'll do that when we get

606
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: back Mike w and Mike Allen an hour two of

607
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: Saturday Midday. Well, it's been a while since we've heard

608
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: from this gentleman. We're going to have on next. It's

609
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: Corey Bowman. Corey as you know him, for Cincinnati mayor

610
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: on the Republican ticket. Ran an absolutely incredible race, but

611
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: the Democrat strength in the city is somewhat overwhelming, if

612
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: you will, and was not successful, but he stayed active

613
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: and I want to check in with him, see how

614
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: he's doing, get his thoughts on some issues with the

615
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. Corey, thanks so much for calling in

616
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: this morning.

617
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 12: Hey, Mike, good to be back. Thank you so much.

618
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: For having me my pleasure. How are you doing.

619
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 12: I'm doing good, good, doing really good. We you know

620
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 12: you might hear a couple of kids in the background.

621
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 12: Were just finished breakfast for all of our kiddos for

622
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 12: this Saturday morning.

623
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about, isn't it. The kids? Yes, sir,

624
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: let me start out with this, and I'm sure you

625
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: saw it because you keep up on these things even

626
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: though you're not a candidate now hopefully you will be

627
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: in the future. But a few weeks ago, a brand

628
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: new Cincinnati City council member Ryan James. I don't know him.

629
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: I've heard he's a decent guy, but he introduced a

630
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: motion in council in at least he says, intended to

631
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: protect immigrant and refugee residents in the City of Cincinnati

632
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: from ICE enforcement, and within this motion asking the city

633
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: to conduct a ninety day audit. This would require the

634
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: city administration to identify where citizenship or naturalization data is

635
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: currently collected, remove immigration data from any kind of city files,

636
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: and limit surveillance. Restrict the city's collection or holding up

637
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: personal information that could potentially aid ICE in targeting residents.

638
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: Now my question is generally speaking, what you think of that?

639
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: But I mean, does it make sense to take money

640
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: that is intended for the better of the city Cincinnati

641
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: and spend it on something like this, keeping in mind

642
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: these are not legal immigrants, These are illegal immigrants.

643
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 12: Your thoughts, Yeah, Well, for one, you mentioned that I'm

644
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 12: not on a race. I actually am on the ballot

645
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 12: in Dismay as a precinct executive. Oh good, it's just,

646
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 12: you know, just a way to still stay involved locally. Yes,

647
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 12: there about the city and we care about the direction

648
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 12: of the City. That's great, Councilman Ryan James, this is

649
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 12: you know, obviously the newest member of city Council, and

650
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 12: I think a lot of us were kind of waiting

651
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 12: to see what would be the first thing that we

652
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 12: would hear from this new councilman. And this is what

653
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 12: we hear is that he is putting this proposal out

654
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 12: to help illegal immigrants in the city. And not only that,

655
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 12: but all the audits that you just mentioned that costs

656
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 12: a lot of money. Yes, external audits of any system

657
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 12: costs money. You know, we're seeing a lot of things

658
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 12: going on, you know, they just I think it costs

659
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 12: over forty thousand now and if not more for an

660
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 12: investigation audit into the just a single person's case of

661
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 12: Chief Fiji, And so I can't imagine how much it

662
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 12: would actually cost to audit the entire system for this

663
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 12: information they're seeking. But I think the biggest thing, which

664
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 12: is what we hit during the May oil race, is

665
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 12: that what are your priorities at City Hall? Because there's

666
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 12: a lot of issues we can get involved in. There's

667
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 12: a there's no shortage of issues, there's no shortage of

668
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 12: opinions that we can have based on what's going on nationally, statewide,

669
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 12: and locally, but it's called city hall because you're supposed

670
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 12: to protect and serve the citizens, the legal citizens of Cincinnati.

671
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 12: I did see that the mayor put out a statement

672
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 12: stating that, you know, he is regarding this proposal from

673
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 12: Ryan James, is that they are in the best interest

674
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 12: of the constituents that they have Cincinnati. But the definition

675
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 12: of constituents is you're legal voters, exactly, And so that's

676
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 12: something that I think that their priorities are off with

677
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 12: this because if you look around, there's still issues that

678
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 12: the city is facing when it comes to infrastructure decaying,

679
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 12: infrastructure potholes, when it comes to our crime. You know,

680
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 12: I'm reminded of on January first this year, the first

681
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 12: encounter I had, you know, was to be there for

682
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 12: our family that has gone to our church for years.

683
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 12: Their granddaughter, eleven year old Queen Irie, was shot at

684
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 12: Laurel Park just on January first, And since then, we've

685
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 12: been talking about issues with cameras and with the police

686
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 12: and with law enforcement just processes to be able to

687
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 12: prevent incidents like this from happening. So there's a lot

688
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 12: of issues that we need to focus on and I

689
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 12: don't really like the fact that the first thing that

690
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 12: we hear from this new councilman is a proposal to

691
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 12: protect illegal immigrants.

692
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 6: And what I think that.

693
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 12: That shows is that you're just trying to get on

694
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 12: a national stage. You're just trying to build up your

695
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 12: reputation in the party to be able to move up.

696
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 12: Because let's not forget that two council members, as soon

697
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 12: as they were elected for this next term, immediately announced

698
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 12: that they're running for a higher office, one for a

699
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 12: state treasurer and one for a county commissioner. So I

700
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 12: think the priorities are off the city hall absolutely.

701
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: And Channel nine did a pretty in depth story about this.

702
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: I mean, I've looked into it somewhat in depth, and

703
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: I just want to read you a couple things from

704
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: it and get your thoughts on it. Okay, this is

705
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: Channel nine, this is the reporter. We asked Counselman James

706
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: why he felt the need to propose emotion like this one.

707
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. The most basic commitment that we

708
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: owe our residents is driving public safety. And I do

709
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: say our residents and not our citizens, because not everyone

710
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: is a citizen of the United States. Basically is what

711
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: it says. I mean, we are citizens. We're citizens. If

712
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: you live in the city or if you work in

713
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: the city, you're paying the earnings tax. It just absolutely

714
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: amazes me that this just means nothing to them. You know,

715
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: you got legal, you got illegal, and hey, and I

716
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: know you as a man in the cloth, I'm sure

717
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: you feel the same way. We have to do whatever

718
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: we can do to help people in need. I get that,

719
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: but I think, as you just pointed out too, that

720
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: money could probably be put to some better use for

721
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: actual citizens of the city of Cincinnati. It's really kind

722
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: of a bold stroke, if you will, I think, in

723
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: the wrong way for him. But it's pretty flagrant. I mean,

724
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, we're gonna go ahead and

725
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: do this. We don't care about the citizens, you know,

726
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: we just want to make sure we take care of

727
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: what we think is a constituency group. Your thoughts on that, well, I.

728
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 12: Think you know, last year was my first political campaign,

729
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 12: and I learned a lot throughout the year. One thing

730
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 12: I learned about this is that people are raising up

731
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 12: in our government strong candidate. They're not raising up strong

732
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 12: leaders when it comes to people that actually know about

733
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 12: the jobs that they're applying for. One thing is always

734
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 12: important that I heard over and over again, it's name recognition.

735
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 6: Name recognition, name recognition.

736
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 12: You're building not necessarily a skill set to be able

737
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 12: to serve your city, You're building a brand to be

738
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 12: able to move into further office. Is what a lot.

739
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 6: Of these people actually think.

740
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 12: And so what you do is you grab a hold

741
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 12: of hot ticket items, You grab a hold of whatever

742
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 12: issues are going to be at the forefront of national politics,

743
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 12: and then you put out whether it be a proposal

744
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 12: or resolution, whatever that might be. And then all of

745
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 12: a sudden, the next news cycle comes out and your

746
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 12: name is all over the news and on your side

747
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 12: of the party, every bodies you know praising you as

748
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 12: some you know, social justice warrior or some you know

749
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 12: leader in the party. But in the meantime, you're just

750
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 12: trying to build a brand to be able to move

751
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 12: up and use Cincinnati as a stepping stone. You know,

752
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 12: I called during one of our debates, I called Mayor

753
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 12: Aptad the Brian Kelly of Cincinnati politics. You're just trying

754
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 12: to use Cincinnati as a stepping stool until you get

755
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 12: that call from Notre Dame. And then LSU. But people

756
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 12: in Cincinnati, you know, they need help. These issues are

757
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 12: important when it comes to local policies, when it comes

758
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 12: to these cameratulations, when it comes to the money being

759
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 12: spent for our roads, for our public services, for sanitation,

760
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 12: for all. This not just community initiatives that puts you

761
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 12: in the news in a proper lighting, but actually help

762
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 12: the citizens. I was, you know, I mentioned now I'm

763
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 12: going to be a precinct executive, and I just spoke

764
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 12: with a gentleman that's in my neighborhood that he's recruited

765
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 12: I think one hundred and ninety one precinct executives for

766
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 12: the Democratic Party. Now, surprisingly, we're able to have fairly

767
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 12: decent conversations. You know, we used to be able to

768
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 12: do that and have proper communication when it came to

769
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 12: these issues. But I asked them, I said, as a Democrat,

770
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 12: how do you feel the city is being run? And

771
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 12: he said it overwhelmingly. He said, we're very frustrated. We're

772
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 12: very frustrated with the city services, with the street cleanings,

773
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 12: with the crime. And that is actually why he was

774
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 12: recruiting people for the precinct executive. Not necessary to have

775
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 12: a trojan horse of Republicans come in, but because they

776
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 12: care about city issues, and I think that's something a

777
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 12: city hall has forgotten about.

778
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 6: You know what.

779
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: And that's interesting that the Democrat would say that. And

780
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, perhaps they're wising up one more thing

781
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: on this this Channel nine interview, he writes, or she,

782
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. At tuesday's meeting, I guess that was a

783
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: committee meeting. Another motion to allocate three hundred thousand dollars

784
00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: to an immigrant emergency fund from the weather Reserve Fund

785
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: was also proposed. That motion failed in a four to

786
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: one vote. I mean, I don't know what the weather

787
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: Emergency weather Fund is, but it sounds like it's something.

788
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: What it says, weather emergencies, you can help citizens voters out.

789
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: I mean, these people, I guess they think money must

790
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: grow on trees down there.

791
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 12: Well, it's not just money grow on trees. It's that

792
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 12: they just don't know how to spend money properly.

793
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 13: You know.

794
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 12: Let's not forget that we've got I believe upwards of

795
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 12: eighty five million dollars that has yet to be spent

796
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 12: from our payoffs from the railroad funds because they don't

797
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 12: have the contracts in place to be able to spend

798
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 12: it fast enough and efficiently enough, so we talk about surpluses.

799
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 12: There's actually a lot of money that buried into investments

800
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 12: and assets to a crew interest in the city budget

801
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 12: because it's been allotted for something like public safety, it's

802
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 12: been allotted for something infrastructure, but they don't have the

803
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 12: capacity to spend it properly and on the books. You

804
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 12: have to spend it legally obviously too. And so what

805
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 12: they end up doing is they come up with all

806
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 12: these community initiaives where you have one hundred thousand here,

807
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 12: two hundred thousand here, a million here, and it will

808
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 12: go toward a lot of local nonprofits NGOs or community initiaives.

809
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 12: That's really just paying administrative salaries or just filling the

810
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 12: pockets of the friends of city Hall. And a lot

811
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 12: of citizens. Citizens are tired of.

812
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: It, and I get that too. I did want to

813
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: move on here. You advised me this morning that there's

814
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: an issue with respect to funding of the drone program

815
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati Police Department. Let me say this, from everything

816
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: that I've read and seen, CPD is a national leader

817
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: in this area with respect for drones for police, extremely effective.

818
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: From every one I've talked to Corey, and that's including

819
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: street cops. I mean, something that's really kind of cutting

820
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: edge and we need it. What's the situation with that,

821
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: as you know it to where maybe funding has been

822
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: allocated but they can't get it.

823
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 12: What's the situation with Yeah, the issue I'm referring to

824
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 12: is street cameras not necessarily okay, okay, yeah, so street

825
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 12: cam is very important to camera insulation.

826
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 13: Yeah.

827
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 12: Now the drone program, I actually, at first I was

828
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 12: kind of confused by that because I was like, you know,

829
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 12: we're trying to actually influence better patrolling in the areas

830
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 12: and proper staffing. So when I first saw the drones,

831
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 12: I really didn't wrap my head around it until I

832
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 12: started researching talk to the officers. It's a very effective programs.

833
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 12: Cannati is a leader when it comes to that, you know,

834
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 12: I think that one of the biggest issues with that

835
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 12: is that we still are understaffed when it comes to CPD.

836
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 12: We have to have better processes in place for lateral

837
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 12: hiring to be able to staff because think about you

838
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 12: do have to have a staff member to operate these

839
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 12: drones as well, and are you going to take people

840
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 12: off the streets? Are you going to take people out

841
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 12: of another area that's needed, and so hiring is I

842
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 12: think lateral hiring and shortage of staff and CPD is

843
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 12: probably one of the number one issues when it comes

844
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 12: to the department that we have to focus on, and

845
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 12: that has to do with people wanting to work for

846
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 12: the CPD and having the proper morale to be able

847
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 12: to know the city Hall has their back. Now, as

848
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 12: far as the camera installation, when this young girl was

849
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 12: shot at Laurel Park, it was on January first of

850
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 12: this year. There was another eleven year old by the

851
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 12: name of Dominic Davis that was shot two years ago

852
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 12: in the same area. Now, when that happened, what was

853
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 12: promised was there would be cameras installed in these public

854
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 12: areas to be able to have some type of lead,

855
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 12: some type of deterrence when it came to shootings of

856
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 12: this because these are children's parks. These are where families

857
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 12: need to feel safe in playing and calregating. But two

858
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 12: years later, this young girl gets shot and the only

859
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 12: camera in the area was spaced in the opposite direction.

860
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 12: They had no view of the park. And the first

861
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 12: thing that all the community is saying is where are

862
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 12: the cameras they promised two years ago. Where're the cameras

863
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 12: for this, because it's not only just to find the

864
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 12: criminals that did a crime, it's to deter criminals because

865
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 12: they know that cameras are in the area. And so

866
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 12: I've actually spoken with some people that have been contracted

867
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 12: to supply the cameras, and number one, they're very frustrated

868
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 12: right now because they're getting orders for impossible numbers because

869
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 12: all the news is pushing city Hall to act on

870
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 12: this right now because it hasn't been done for the

871
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 12: last two years. What we're finding out is that the

872
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 12: money gets allotted for the camera installation, but then it

873
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 12: has to go through about five or six middleman red

874
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 12: tape administration and it bottlenecks to the installation to where

875
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 12: they can only do one at a time here or there,

876
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 12: and it's just showing inadequacies when it comes to the administration,

877
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 12: when it comes to the efficiency.

878
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 6: Of getting this stuff done.

879
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 12: There have been cameras that have been installed since then,

880
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 12: but whenever I talk to people behind the scenes, I

881
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 12: just realized that not being done as fast as it

882
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 12: can be because the people that supply the cameras, they

883
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 12: have every ability to install the cameras, but those that

884
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 12: responsibility is then delegated to another person and then you

885
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 12: have to go through Duke, you have to go through Fibers,

886
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 12: you have to go through CPD and you know, I

887
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 12: suggest this solution is that most of these hot spots

888
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 12: where the shops are being fired are happening at public

889
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 12: parks that are owned by CRC since a recreation center,

890
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 12: this is an organization in city Hall. You don't have

891
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 12: to get permission from private property owners. This is something

892
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 12: that can be done right away. And then we just

893
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 12: had a shooting on Wednesday night on Lynch Street in

894
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 12: front of a public library. You know, whether people want

895
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 12: to admit it or not, these public libraries are becoming

896
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 12: hotspots for criminal activity as well public libraries on land

897
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 12: that's directly connected with City Hall. These cameras need to

898
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 12: be installed at these local parks in the city and

899
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 12: at all the libraries in the city to be able

900
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 12: to help with not only deterring but to be able

901
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 12: to find the criminals. And what I'm just calling on

902
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 12: City Council and anybody at City Hall to do is

903
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 12: just bypass a lot of this red tape. Stop putting

904
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 12: everything through hoops and start just getting it done properly,

905
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 12: because their solution for it is, oh, we got to

906
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 12: have ten committees, we got to hire an audit company.

907
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 12: We've got to hire an investigative company. We got to

908
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 12: do this. Yeah, that, and it's all just funneling money

909
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 12: where it doesn't need.

910
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: To get It's crazy, you know what. Unfortunately, Corey, we're

911
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: out of time, but let's talk a little bit more

912
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: often because you keep an eye on this stuff and

913
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: have some valuable information. Certainly appreciate your time this morning.

914
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, thank you to you and all your listeners.

915
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 12: Hope everybody's having an incredible weekend.

916
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, all right, Corey Bowman. I love that guy.

917
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: I hope that he's not finished with electric politics. But

918
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: as he said, he's running for precinct executive and that

919
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 1: is the bottom I don't want to say bottom line,

920
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: but it kind of is where politics starts. And it's

921
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: an important job, it really is, and I'm glad that

922
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: he's doing it. We need more like him. Hey, we

923
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: got to take a break for the news, but when

00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: percolating along with everything else. Well, I'll tell you it's

932
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 1: been a crazy week. Here to talk about. It is

00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,240
Speaker 6: Hi, good morning, going to be with you as always.

936
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 1: Hey, the Central Committee meeting yesterday, Anything of substance or

937
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: anything that you care to share with us as to

938
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday?

939
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 6: Sure, Mike.

940
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 9: You know we had a five hour meeting, kind of

941
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 9: a marathon session of our state committee. You know, for

942
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 9: anybody listening, the Ohio GOP State Central Committee is actually

943
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 9: an elected group of leaders, sixty six of us. I

944
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 9: won't give you the full background, but these are people

945
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 9: elected from each Senate district in Ohio, and you know

946
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 9: we represent your Republican electorate.

947
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 6: So we come together and sometimes we make endorsements.

948
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 9: Other times we don't. So we had a wide array

949
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 9: of things. I think the biggest thing that came out

950
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 9: of yesterday was re endorsed an outstanding candidate in Robert

951
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 9: Sprague to be Ohio's Secretary of State.

952
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 6: Mike, I know you know, and.

953
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 9: A lot of your listeners likely know, but the secretary

954
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,439
Speaker 9: of State's office controls.

955
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 6: Elections in Ohio. It is a supremely important race.

956
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 9: We've been bored us to have an outstanding secretary of

957
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 9: state and Frank LaRose, you know, Ohio is a model

958
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 9: for how to do voter integrity. It's one of the

959
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 9: reasons President Trump has been so successful here and that

960
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 9: we count the legal votes and deny the illegal ones.

961
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 9: So we found a candidate in Robert Spragg. This is

962
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 9: a businessman, you know, a Duke educated, very very very

963
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 9: competent business professional named Robert Spragg, who has been our

964
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 9: state treasurer and is going to bring those talents down to.

965
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 6: The secretary of State's office.

966
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 9: So we've been an outstanding endorsement and overwhelming endorsement of

967
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 9: more than a super majority. So that was the biggest

968
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 9: news to come out of yesterday, Mike. That kind of

969
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 9: rounds out our ticket with the almost rounds it out.

970
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 9: We have a Vake Rama swamp Rob McCully is his

971
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 9: running mate. We have a running for state Attorney General,

972
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 9: Keith Faber, running for Auditor of State, Frank LaRose, and

973
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 9: now we have Robert Sprague. So we are rounding out

974
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 9: our slate for what we hope is a strong twenty

975
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 9: twenty six.

976
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: That's a strong ticket. With respect to the governor's race,

977
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: the polls have kind of narrowed a bit, which is

978
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: not unusual at all. And I know Vivak is out

979
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: working it and wherever that guy goes, he leads a

980
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: favorable impression. So I hope he's getting out quite a bit.

981
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 1: Are you pretty confident of that race? Because I think

982
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: that guy would make an incredible governor.

983
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

984
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 9: Vi vike Ramaswami is a special person up and then

985
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 9: he is the Cincinnati born and bred.

986
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 6: You know, Vi vike Ramaswami.

987
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 9: Went to Princeton public schools here and then ultimately the

988
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 9: say next high and you know, if the Cincinnati born

989
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 9: and raised kid, and he's done extraordinarily well, one of

990
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 9: the great success stories that really in Cincinnati history's gone

991
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 9: on to h you know, climb the ranks of the

992
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 9: business world, built an incredible business you know, sits the top,

993
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 9: you know, a pretty major empire there in the business world.

994
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 9: And he's he's doing very well, which you've said, it's correct, Mike.

995
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 9: When he goes to any room in Ohio and I've

996
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 9: witnessed that he's been all eighty eight counties, he fills

997
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 9: the room and there's just high energy for the Veke.

998
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 6: He's very, very smart.

999
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 9: He's a national thought leader for the conservative movement. He

1000
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 9: is a true America first, patriot Republican. He has Donald

1001
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 9: Trump's endorsement in Ohio, which is huge.

1002
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 6: He has the.

1003
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 9: Endorsement of the Ohio Republican Party. So you know, we

1004
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 9: have our grassroots really lined up with a party. You know,

1005
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 9: we are Thek's the first time candidate here in Ohio.

1006
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 9: We didn't, you know, we didn't just the same old

1007
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 9: thing here. We found an outsider businessman, just like we

1008
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 9: had in Bernie Marino in the last cycle, to lead

1009
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 9: our ticket.

1010
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 6: And we're very excited about our ticket. Mike, I mean, yeah,

1011
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 6: do I feel about this.

1012
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 9: Look, we know there are challenges in the midterm. I

1013
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 9: know you and I have talked about that. It happens,

1014
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 9: it's just cyclical in the business. And we know that

1015
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 9: those of us who run a lot of campaigns. But

1016
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 9: you know, with Viveke and his strong fundraising and everything else, we.

1017
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 6: Feel really good.

1018
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: You know, he is probably the best extemporaneous speaker that

1019
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in politics. I mean, it's incredible, just

1020
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: comes across so credible. Uh uh. He will make a

1021
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: great governor, I have no doubt about that. I wanted

1022
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: to ask you, of course, you know about this. The

1023
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: announcement yesterday, the decision from the Supreme Court six to

1024
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: three decision with respect to President Trump's tariffs did not

1025
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: go into President's favor obviously from a political perspective, How

1026
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: do you think that's going to factor in?

1027
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 6: Now?

1028
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: Trump's already said and people are speculating He's got planned B,

1029
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: C and D. But how do you think that plays politically?

1030
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 9: Well, you know, it's a small setback, there's no question

1031
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 9: about that. But look, this is a president who is

1032
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 9: not career politician, Mike, and you and I know he's

1033
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 9: a business guy.

1034
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 6: He's got solutions to these issues.

1035
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 9: I'm gonna watch carefully to see how that unfolds. But

1036
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 9: you can't bring that up without talking about the economy

1037
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 9: and what's happened here under President Trump. I mean, we

1038
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 9: have the lowest inflation in five years, real wages up

1039
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 9: more than five percent. You know, we've got the largest

1040
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 9: tax cut in US history. You're about to get the

1041
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 9: biggest refund you've ever gotten. Your taxes in the federal side,

1042
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 9: and by the way, in the state side here in

1043
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 9: Ohio down to just one tax bracket.

1044
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 6: So you know, he is handling inflation.

1045
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 9: You've got job growth exceeding expectations.

1046
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 6: The economy is not it's.

1047
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 9: The beginning of what is a major boom in twenty

1048
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 9: twenty six. Mike, Well, here's what we know about Republican policies.

1049
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 9: When you embrace capitalism, when you embrace workers like Johnald

1050
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 9: Trump has done. The tariffs have protected American jobs and workers.

1051
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 9: This president is different than a former Republicans, and that

1052
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 9: he cares a lot about our working class folks, the

1053
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 9: kind of families might get you and I grew up

1054
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:54,919
Speaker 9: in right. I know you and I are good West

1055
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 9: Side working class guys, and I will tell you that

1056
00:59:58,160 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 9: that's who he's about.

1057
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 6: He's an American.

1058
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 9: So anyway, notice, tariffs has been part of creating this

1059
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 9: incredible economy that's lifting up wages and helping Americans and

1060
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 9: seeing our prices come down.

1061
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 6: So look, I think we'll find a way around those things.

1062
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 9: And our main, you know, our main obligation here politically

1063
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 9: is to make sure we educate the public on this

1064
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 9: incredible Trump economy that we're seeing. And it's gone very

1065
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 9: well so far for the President, and I anticipate by

1066
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 9: the way around this and we'll continue to have an

1067
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 9: economy that is booming.

1068
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: You know, you hit the nail right on the head,

1069
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Alex when you said we have to educate the electorate

1070
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: because the mainstream media certainly isn't. You don't hear anything

1071
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: out of them about the booming economy, And if it

1072
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: were the other way around, you damn sure would hear

1073
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: about it. And that's something that we face just about

1074
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: in everything, I guess, but I agree with you, and

1075
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: I hope he's getting out there banging the gong on it.

1076
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of which we've got, of course, the midterms coming up,

1077
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: extremely extremely important with respect to Ohio. The districts are

1078
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: done settled, finish over is that correct? No more changes

1079
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: court challenges so far.

1080
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 6: And anything like that, Nothing like that.

1081
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 9: No, the Democrats actually agreed. So we have what we

1082
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 9: call ten year maps. So the congressional district lines, I

1083
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 9: think is what you're asking about. My ends are those

1084
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 9: are set?

1085
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,479
Speaker 1: Those are set, okay, and first congressional district of course

1086
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: beefed up quite a bit. Do you anticipate the party

1087
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: making endorsements and not just that congressional race but others

1088
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: throughout the state or is that one that you guys

1089
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: are going to stay out of.

1090
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 9: You know, on the federal races, we typically stay out

1091
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 9: of those. You know, again, some of that's subjectute to review,

1092
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 9: but yeah, those federal races are kind of territorial and

1093
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 9: there's so much control kind of out of Washington. What

1094
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 9: I mean by that is just on the campaign side

1095
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 9: that you know, again the inner workings that sometimes people

1096
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 9: don't totally understand. But you know, the caucuses, the Johnson

1097
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 9: for instance, will have some strong opinions about what happens

1098
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 9: in Ohio. So we at the state party kind of

1099
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 9: focused on state level stuff. But yeah, I don't think

1100
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 9: we'll have an endorsement in the congressional race, and particularly

1101
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 9: in the first congressional which is a.

1102
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 6: Greg Landerman seat. I do not have anticipated endorsement coming

1103
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 6: from the party.

1104
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I wanted to find that out with respect to

1105
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: the nation and the midterms. I mean, we've got what

1106
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: what is its two person three person advantage now, something

1107
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: like that. And again, you know as well as anyone,

1108
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: the tradition is that the party in power would loses seats,

1109
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: not gain seats. Do you still think there's a chance

1110
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: that we will be able to keep that majority? And perhaps,

1111
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,919
Speaker 1: I mean looking very optimistically and perhaps even add to it.

1112
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 6: So yeah, look, I think there's a chance to answer

1113
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 6: a question very directly, Do I think there's a high

1114
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 6: probability of that?

1115
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 9: No, I would be I wouldn't be honest if I

1116
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 9: if I said that, I've just lived through this, you know,

1117
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 9: of many many.

1118
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 6: Cycles, Mike. That's not to say that we don't deserve it.

1119
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 2: We do.

1120
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 9: And a couple of things President Trump is going to

1121
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 9: do differently, and one of them just just quickly. Obviously

1122
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,959
Speaker 9: we've talked about the Trump economic turnaround. That's very real,

1123
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 9: and I think people are going to start to realize that,

1124
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 9: you even more if they haven't already.

1125
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 13: They should.

1126
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 9: I mean, gas prices are down, prices of eggs and tanks,

1127
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 9: you know, I mean all the things we're talking about

1128
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 9: a year ago are gone, and because the mainstream press

1129
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 9: doesn't tell you about it, you know, Mike Allen show

1130
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 9: will ye. But secondly, secondly, and most importantly, it's from

1131
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 9: a political side. President Trump and the Republican National Committee

1132
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 9: of which I am a part of, have announced a

1133
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 9: summer convention, a midterm convention.

1134
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 6: Mike, I don't know if you've heard of it.

1135
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 9: I do not know, but yeah, you know how the

1136
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 9: political conventions happened in the presidential years. Well, the RNC again,

1137
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 9: which I'm one of the representatives here from Ohio, we

1138
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 9: voted back in our summer Christmas excuse me, our January

1139
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 9: meeting in California, to have a midterm convention. So look

1140
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 9: for a it'll coincide kind of with America's two hundred

1141
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 9: and fiftieth anniversary. So we're going to pull everybody together,

1142
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 9: shine the spotlight on President Trump and the Republican Party

1143
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 9: in a way that you only see every four years.

1144
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 9: We're going to do on this midterm cycle. So the

1145
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 9: idea might quickly is that if you want to change

1146
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 9: these expected outcomes that we see in the midterms, that

1147
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 9: we do things differently and that we will have that

1148
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 9: massive convention, so we hope to get a lot of

1149
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 9: energy coming out of that and to turn out our voters.

1150
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, and I think that's a

1151
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: great idea. I know many other states do it, but

1152
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: a subject that's not particularly sexy, if you will, but

1153
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: extremely important and under your leadership at ARP, I think

1154
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: you've done a fantastic job and to get out the

1155
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: vote effort. You and I have talked before Alex that

1156
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, if the magabase does not get out in

1157
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: these midterms, you know we're screwed. The party I'm sure

1158
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: is still on top of that. But any thoughts that

1159
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: you have on that, well.

1160
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's many, and I can you know, I could

1161
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 9: talk a long time. I will tell you that our

1162
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 9: effort we're calling at the Rise and Rally effort of

1163
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 9: the Ohio GOP, and we're doing We're rolling out a

1164
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 9: camp statewide.

1165
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 6: Campaign kick off on April the ninth. We will send

1166
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 6: the entire summer.

1167
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 9: Talking to our voters. Here's a more granular piece of

1168
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 9: it that I'll try not to bore you in your audience,

1169
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 9: but Mike, we have data, very specific data. I think

1170
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 9: I've talked about it on your show before, but we

1171
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 9: could really kind of get down and dirty with who

1172
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 9: those people are who will ship the mid term elections.

1173
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 6: And if you're listening and.

1174
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,479
Speaker 9: You're one of those people that think that your vote

1175
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 9: doesn't make a difference in the midterms.

1176
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 11: You're wrong.

1177
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 6: We need you to turn out. Otherwise they're going to

1178
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 6: be impeaching Donald Trump and instead of watching this economic

1179
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 6: turnaround that we're witnessing, we're going to be talking about

1180
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 6: impeachment and the entire of the next few years will

1181
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 6: be on Washington impeachment. So we can't have that. So

1182
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 6: what we're going to do is identify those.

1183
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 9: Low propensity voters, those low prof of voters, as.

1184
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 6: We call them, and talk to them.

1185
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 4: Mike.

1186
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 9: We're going to knock on their doors, We're going to

1187
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 9: send them texts, we're gonna we're going to call them,

1188
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 9: we're going to send a mail, and we're going to tell.

1189
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 6: Them you have to get out and vote.

1190
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 9: So that's kind of the basic strategy, and we'll be

1191
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 9: we've already begun employing that with these data plans that

1192
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 9: we've paid a lot of money for, and we will

1193
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 9: we will try to turn them out.

1194
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 6: That's what we're here to do well.

1195
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: I figured you were, but definitely you're on top of that,

1196
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: and as you well know, it's so important. I have

1197
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: to ask you this. I mean, you talk about an

1198
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:41,439
Speaker 1: embarrassment to our country AOC in Munich. Did you happen

1199
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: to get a chance to see her word solid? I

1200
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: mean she's trying to challenge Kamalai Harris with that. Just

1201
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 1: an abject embarrassment to our country.

1202
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a It looks the Democratic Party right now

1203
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 9: just cannot field a national figure with any.

1204
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 6: Kind of substance.

1205
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 4: Mike.

1206
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 6: They just it's it's interesting. I mean, look, I can

1207
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 6: believe it or not.

1208
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 9: I can say some decent things about guys like Bill

1209
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 9: Clinton and Barack Obama. Both were both were you know

1210
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 9: or a clerically talented. They can speak well, they were

1211
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 9: coherent with their message. I've never seen a more on

1212
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 9: message politician than Bill Clinton.

1213
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 6: I didn't like any of the guys stands for it.

1214
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 9: I think he's a sly ball to be candid, but

1215
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 9: I can say that when it came to messaging politically,

1216
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 9: he was smart and talented.

1217
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 6: Obama was an empty suit, but at least he can

1218
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 6: deliver a speech from a teleprompter. But this dude, this

1219
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 6: dude class.

1220
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 9: Of communicators on the Democratic side. Boy, I hope it

1221
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 9: stayed that way, Mike. I'm Republicans, you know. But but yeah,

1222
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 9: she's an embarrassment and kind of a sideshow in that party.

1223
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 6: In my view, she really is.

1224
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: And you know, we should hope and pray, go to

1225
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: church tomorrow and pray that she is the Democratic nominee.

1226
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't think she'll be. But you know these people

1227
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: her uh is, the former vice president Kamala They're not

1228
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 1: these these they're just not serious people. And man, you

1229
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: want to be at the helm of the most important country,

1230
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: the most powerful country in the world, you better at

1231
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: least know what our strategic policy is with respect to

1232
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Taiwan and China. I mean, it was just stunning. I

1233
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: would have thought she would have had better sense than

1234
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: to go out there like that. But wouldn't you think

1235
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:28,679
Speaker 1: you would at least take a few minutes to prepare.

1236
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 1: I guess not in her case.

1237
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely not.

1238
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 9: And on the question of Taiwan, I mean, it forces

1239
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 9: a far left liberal to have to actually utter the

1240
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 9: words that we would implement our military might, and you

1241
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 9: know that probably makes her head spin and cost her

1242
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 9: a lot of votes among her far left base who

1243
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 9: probably hate the military, hate our soldiers, and probably at

1244
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 9: the end of the day, kind of hate America.

1245
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 6: So that's kind of what her problem was there.

1246
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 9: She couldn't articulate a position that would demonstrate American strength abroad,

1247
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 9: and that's why she stumbled on that question for sure.

1248
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 1: Well, then you compare and contrast that with the job

1249
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: that Marco Rubio did. I mean, he got a standing

1250
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: ovation from what I understand from a crowd that he

1251
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 1: had to make some critical remarks about with respect to Europe.

1252
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: That guy, that guy's a player. I mean he is,

1253
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: I think, and I think people share this. He has

1254
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: done an absolutely amazing job as Secretary of State.

1255
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 9: That eighteen minute speech that you're referencing, I recommend every

1256
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 9: American going to watch it. It's a fine an articulation

1257
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 9: of American foreign policy and the challenges at Western democracy faith.

1258
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 9: He's an extraordinary talent, Marco Rudo. And look, I mean

1259
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 9: this is the part again the mainstream press will cover,

1260
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 9: but the cabinet under this president is a strong as

1261
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 9: any we've ever seen. Marco Rubo, Jamie Vance, have you

1262
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,600
Speaker 9: seen an active vice president like this? I mean he

1263
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 9: used to be the vice president. Just went to state's funerals.

1264
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 4: Right, not JD.

1265
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 6: Vans our vice president from right here in Cincinnati, Ohio.

1266
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 9: The Vice President of the United States is active day

1267
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,440
Speaker 9: to day in the operation of this government. It's extraordinary.

1268
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 9: And yeah, I mean, there's so many talented people. And

1269
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 9: it's Scott dessan't Treasury sectionary. I mean, he's really doing

1270
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 9: a great job. It's there's stability in the cabinet. There's

1271
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 9: some very wise and strong personalities there that are met

1272
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 9: well together. So President Trump has it a homino long, no

Speaker 1: Seven hundred WLW Mike Allen an hour three of the

1303
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:16,679
Speaker 1: Saturday mid day program. Well, according to AI this morning

1304
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: as of early twenty twenty six. Actually it's it was

1305
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:26,719
Speaker 1: accurate as of today, I believe. Yeah, February twenty first,

1306
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, The Cincinnati real estate market is transitioning

1307
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: toward a more balanced normal state, which is characterized by

1308
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: growing inventory, moderate price appreciation, and higher seller yet competitive conditions.

1309
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: Medium home median home values hover around two hundred forty

1310
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars now.

1311
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: That is up roughly two percent to ten percent year

1312
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:58,719
Speaker 1: over year, depending upon what source you use. Active listings

1313
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 1: have increased significantly over thirty percent, providing buyers with more

1314
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: options and breathing room here to talk about it. And

1315
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 1: my first question is going to be whether he agrees

1316
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 1: with AI talking about Greg Stanley of Komy and Shepherd

1317
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 1: Realtors are real estate expert. Greg, thanks for calling in

01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 4: Mean certainly appreciated, great show, Really love it.

1320
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you. Yeah, did you hear what? Let

1321
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 1: me ask you this first. Do you use AI because

1322
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: I've been using.

1323
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 6: It a lot. I do.

1324
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 11: I do.

1325
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 4: I use Chat GPT a lot, and yeah, and I

1326
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 4: agree with some of that. I mean, I think it

1327
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,919
Speaker 4: even presents a better picture. I look at the multiple

1328
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 4: listing service for Greater Cincinnati and I think, I mean,

1329
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 4: we hear the national stats, right, I mean we hear

1330
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 4: that all home prices are dropping in there. You know,

1331
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,600
Speaker 4: there's longer time on market and things like that, and

1332
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 4: you know from the national respective that might hold true,

1333
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 4: and they say nationally it might become a buyer's market,

1334
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 4: that kind of thing. I mean, we see something totally different.

1335
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 4: I mean, Cincinnati is defined totally defined, defies I mean

1336
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 4: national statistics. I mean, you know what we're looking at

1337
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 4: here is you know, real estate is a very local market, right,

1338
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 4: and even hyper locals. So you'll see some suburbs, even

1339
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,600
Speaker 4: in Cincinnati that are doing better than the others. But

1340
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 4: I took a look at just out of curiosity, took

1341
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 4: a look at Hamilton County, Butler County, and Claremont Counties,

1342
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 4: and the prices of homes continue to increase, and pretty

1343
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 4: substantially year over year. Yeah, year over year. The numbers

1344
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 4: I get, which is kind of kind of kind of

1345
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 4: the the the the where you want to price your

1346
01:14:55,640 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 4: home is homes are up eleven percent from like last year.

1347
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:04,879
Speaker 4: These are January twenty twenty six numbers, so fresh numbers

1348
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 4: from January twenty twenty five to January twenty twenty six.

1349
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 4: They're up eleven percent in the average price of a

1350
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 4: home or median I should say price of a home

1351
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:18,799
Speaker 4: is two hundred and eighty eight thousand.

1352
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry, yeah.

1353
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 4: No, no, no. In this certainly bodes well for current homeowners. Now.

1354
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 4: You know, on the other side, you've got first time

1355
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 4: home buyers, people that want to buy a home, that

1356
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 4: kind of stuff. As they wait for interest rates to drop,

1357
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 4: home prices keep increasing, you know, so it tends to

1358
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 4: nullify any type of any type of increase in homes

1359
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 4: or any type of increase in interest rates. So it's

1360
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 4: time to get in the market. But anyhow, that's kind

1361
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 4: of the position that I see Cincinnati in. I mean,

1362
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 4: from current perspective, it bodes really well.

1363
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm hearing from you too, and some

1364
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: of the other things I've looked at backs that up.

1365
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 1: We talked about interest rates. We always talk about interest rates.

1366
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 1: It seems like they're headed in the right direction. I'm

1367
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: not sure what the prime is now, but obviously that

1368
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: plays a real key role in selling your home. Kind

1369
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 1: of fill us in on the current rates and how

1370
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: they're affecting the market.

1371
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mike, that's the elephant in the room, right, It's

1372
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 4: like a lot of people I'm sure you are and

1373
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 4: as well as I am. I meant, a lot of

1374
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 4: people are sitting on a three percent three and a

1375
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:42,639
Speaker 4: half percent mortgage and they're not moving until those numbers

1376
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 4: drop down or or nothing is there to encourage them

1377
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 4: to put their house on the market. Actually, from a

1378
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 4: historical perspective, interest rates are down from last year about one.

1379
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 4: They were around seven last year January they were around seven.

1380
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 4: Now they're around six. You know, And if you put

1381
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 4: some numbers behind it, Donna two hundred thousand dollars thirty

1382
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 4: year mortgage, that amounts to about savings of about three

1383
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 4: hundred dollars a month, I mean, which is substantial for

1384
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,679
Speaker 4: you know, for a first time home buyer.

1385
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:18,719
Speaker 1: You know, I want to ask you this. We talked

1386
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 1: about this, I think last time we talked, but I

1387
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: just wanted to revisit it for a minute. Uh. Trump

1388
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of off the off the cuff a while back,

1389
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: proposed potentially five year mortgage loans for homes. Has that

1390
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,600
Speaker 1: kind of died down because as much as I like

1391
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: the President, it seems to me that's kind of fraught

1392
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: with a lot of potential peril.

1393
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:44,679
Speaker 4: Yes, I think that's died down. I haven't heard anything lately,

1394
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 4: and I'm pretty attuned to this stuff. I haven't heard

1395
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 4: lately in regards to that. I think that's kind of

1396
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 4: died off a little bit. So I don't see that

1397
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:55,799
Speaker 4: happening anyhow.

1398
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't seem like it went anywhere. But I mean,

1399
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: who would want to be tied did to something? I mean,

1400
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: I get it, it's a home and for young buyers,

1401
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 1: your first purchase, but man, that's a hell of a

1402
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: news to be hanging around your neck for five years.

1403
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 1: Then you factor in two you know, a car Loan,

1404
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 1: you know somebody I don't know, maybe like a classic car,

1405
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 1: a Red Nova, you know with you know, with hansho

1406
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: White seventies, you're gonna be You're gonna pay for that,

1407
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna over a period of time.

1408
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Absolutely, Yeah, I don't. I don't see that happen

1409
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 4: in Mike, that's for sure.

1410
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, and this is you don't

1411
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: only hear at the federal level. I'm hearing it on

1412
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 1: the county level too. Uh. The situation with eliminating property taxes,

1413
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: that seems to me, not just in Ohio, but all

1414
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,600
Speaker 1: over the country kind of the trend. I mean, I

1415
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: don't know that anyone's ever completely done it yet, But

1416
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: what do you think about that? And again, I know

1417
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,560
Speaker 1: they're talking about it county wide. Of course the commissioners

1418
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: control that. Uh your thoughts on.

1419
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 4: That, yeah, Mike. I mean you know, if you take

1420
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 4: a look, if you hear from the current administration, they

1421
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 4: want to I mean they're talking about if you're sixty

1422
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 4: five and over and have your home paid off, you

1423
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 4: don't have to pay any property taxes. I mean that

1424
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 4: if if, if Trump could pull that off, I mean,

1425
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 4: that would cause for great celebrations yet for sure, But

1426
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 4: you know, I don't see it happening in the not

1427
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 4: too distant future anyhow. These municipalities depend upon shows tax dollars, right,

1428
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 4: and I just I just don't see it happening. But

1429
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,719
Speaker 4: it's great it keeps getting brought up. I mean that

1430
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 4: that's really surfaced as a focal point.

1431
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:42,719
Speaker 1: Sure.

1432
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 4: But then but then on the other hand, you know,

1433
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:49,599
Speaker 4: I hear like the mayor of New York City, Ma'm

1434
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 4: Donnie right, he wants to increase right, he wants to

1435
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 4: increase property taxes by nine and a half percent.

1436
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: I saw you know, and I did want to ask

1437
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 1: you about that bit off topic, but you would be

1438
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 1: the guy to ask. I mean, this guy, he's proposing

1439
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 1: a four year rent freeze on a million stabilized units

1440
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:15,599
Speaker 1: to provide he wants to provide tenant relief. Blah blah

1441
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I mean, that's like it kind of

1442
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: reminds me. It's just flat out socialism, Marxism. It reminds

1443
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: me of red China now tests Tom and you know,

1444
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 1: and the whole redisturbant of the wealth. It just doesn't

1445
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 1: make any sense to me.

1446
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 4: Yes, we're I mean we're finding out that you know,

1447
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,759
Speaker 4: all the all the publicity he had when he was running.

1448
01:20:41,280 --> 01:20:44,440
Speaker 4: I mean we're finding out that free is not free exactly.

1449
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 4: It's like he wants to freeze rents, but then on

1450
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 4: the homeowners he wants to impose a nine and a

1451
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 4: half percent property tax. Doesn't make sense to me, Mike,

1452
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,839
Speaker 4: I mean think about it. Right now, the average age

1453
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 4: of a first time home is forty years old. I

1454
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:07,839
Speaker 4: mean that's rawn up substantially. You start imposing these additional taxes,

1455
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 4: that number is going to go from forty to forty

1456
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 4: two to forty five I mean, you know, he even

1457
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 4: talks about affordability, right housing affordability, but yet on the

1458
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 4: other hand, he's talk about imposing this nine and a

1459
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 4: half percent property tax. Doesn't make sense to me, doesn't

1460
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 4: make sense.

1461
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and people wonder why people are fleeing New York.

1462
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: And you know the other thing too about that, and

1463
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you deal with this a little bit, is

1464
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 1: these people that buy our properties, fix them up, and

1465
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 1: what do they refer to mom and pop landlords? I mean,

1466
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: that's going to kill them. I think you know, the

1467
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 1: left gets this picture of oh these some kind of

1468
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: landbearon you know, or land shark. Yeah, like our mutual

1469
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 1: friend that does that. Yeah, he can usually turn it

1470
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: over in two weeks. But not everybody can do that.

1471
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 4: And I think that you would not stick it to Yeah,

1472
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 4: everybody thinks his landlords is this corporate.

1473
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 6: Executive right sitting up there.

1474
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 4: I mean there's a lot of people, a lot of

1475
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 4: small mom and pops like you said, that depend upon that,

1476
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 4: depend upon this, and depend upon rent. And you know

1477
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 4: that's the problem is as we impose more taxes on

1478
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,720
Speaker 4: these people and then we freeze rent, they're in a

1479
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 4: terrible situation.

1480
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:32,679
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, I guess I think I hear you saying

1481
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 1: you wouldn't recommend that as an investment or more about you,

1482
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's a hell a lot more problem

1483
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: than it's worth.

1484
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 4: No, especially not in New York City, that's for sure.

1485
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: Last question here, the spring market. I think I've heard

1486
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 1: you say this before, is a really good time to

1487
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: sell your home. Would you suggest, based upon what you've said,

1488
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 1: and based upon that assumption, that it would be a

1489
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: good time to put your home on the market soon

1490
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: as the weather turned definitely.

1491
01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 4: I mean, what we're seeing now is it's turning spring

1492
01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 4: market right now, even though we at the end of February,

1493
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 4: it's turning spring market. As soon as the weather warms up.

1494
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 4: People begin to think, oh, I'm going to put my

1495
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 4: house on the market. Right Active inventory is way up,

1496
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:24,759
Speaker 4: Like you had stated that the at your introduction, active

1497
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 4: inventory is way up. You know, spring is the best

1498
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 4: market to sell. That's been proven time and time again,

1499
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:37,080
Speaker 4: you know, so you know, and and home prices have

1500
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 4: increased a year over year as well, so you know,

1501
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 4: it's it's a tough position to be in if you

1502
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 4: are one of those forty year old first time home boys.

1503
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yes, yeah. Just driving around this week, I

1504
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,799
Speaker 1: saw I think a couple homes for sale on Andy

1505
01:23:56,840 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: Court over there in Del High and it looks yeah,

1506
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that's selling. So I don't know, Yeah,

1507
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 1: it would be a good time. What is your suggestion

1508
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 1: about what people should do? And we've talked about this

1509
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 1: before in order to do that, I know one thing

1510
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 1: I've learned from you, Greg Stanley, don't buy a new door.

1511
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 1: But what can you do? Low cost things can you

1512
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: do to get your house out of you?

1513
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 4: Gotcha, I'm big. I'm big on neatness, cleanliness. If you

1514
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 4: have to rent one of those pods and fill it

1515
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 4: with you know, fill it with your your belongings. It

1516
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 4: just to make your house look neat or clean out

1517
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 4: the garage that kind of stuff, clean out the basement,

1518
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 4: neat and clean is it? You would be surprised what

1519
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 4: a fresh tone.

1520
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 6: Of paint does.

1521
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 4: I'm big. I'm big on carb appeal. Right, It's like,

1522
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 4: you know, redo the mulch, trim back some of the shrubs,

1523
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff, make it, you know, make it

1524
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 4: more appealing to people as they drive by.

1525
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Hey as always really appreciate your input into this,

1526
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 1: and I hope we can call on you again.

1527
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Thanks a lot, Mike, Thanks for having me on,

1528
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 4: and have a great day you too.

1529
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: All Right, buddy, thank you. All right. Greg Stanley of

1530
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: Kobe and Shepherd Realtors, if you need a realtor, he'd

1531
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: be a good one. And I'm not just saying that

1532
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: he's into this, understands the market as I think you

1533
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,640
Speaker 1: just found out. But Man, one thing he said that

1534
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: really kind of set me for a loop is the

1535
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 1: average age I think he said of a first time

1536
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: home buyer forty years old, which does kind of bring

1537
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 1: home what people have saying, the so called experts that

1538
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 1: young people are having a very difficult time getting into

1539
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: that market. I mean, you know, they're still living in

1540
01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: mom and dad's basement. But hopefully that'll turn at some point. Hey,

1541
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: we got to take a break, short break, but we'll

1542
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 1: be back, Mike Allen Saturday Midday. Hey, we're back, Mike

1543
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 1: Alan in the closing segment of Saturday Midday, going to

1544
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 1: get to the phones. If you want to be a

1545
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 1: part of it. Seven four nine, seven thousand, one eight hundred,

1546
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: the Big One. Just have to do one thing first.

1547
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 1: I just can't let this pass by. And this won't

1548
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 1: take long, and I'm going to get to the phones here.

1549
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: But campus reform. We've talked about that quite a bit

1550
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: on the show. It's a publication that college students do

1551
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 1: about the looney left on the college campus, and they're

1552
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 1: out there in force. Believe me, I just kind of

1553
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: stumbled across this. Listen to this. I'm want to tell

1554
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: you this, and then we'll move on to the calls.

1555
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 1: But according to a recent survey, and this goes back

1556
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: to June twentieth of twenty twenty five, sixty two percent

1557
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: of American adults under thirty say they hold a favorable

1558
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:56,839
Speaker 1: view of socialism. It's just sixty two percent of adults

1559
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: under thirty hold a favorable view of socialism. It gets

1560
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: even better, thirty four or worse, thirty four percent of

1561
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 1: American adults under age thirty hold a favorable view of communism.

1562
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know about you, but that is striking.

1563
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 1: I mean, these people, these young people, they're not learning

1564
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: their history. And guess why. That's because the college campus

1565
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: and now increasingly high school teachers, they're not teaching the

1566
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: evils of communism and what communism and socialism due to societies.

1567
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 1: It's just that's scary, and it tells you, I guess

1568
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,480
Speaker 1: you got to give him a hand in some way, Professor,

1569
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: you're doing a good job. That to me is just unbelievable.

1570
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:54,840
Speaker 1: I just had to tell you, Hey, let's see who

1571
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: is but oh shoot, let's see. Let's talk to Rick.

1572
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 1: He's in Dallas. He's been holding on for a while. Hey, Rick,

1573
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: how you doing?

1574
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 6: Oh I'm pretty good.

1575
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 13: Were you talking about I heard about the average ade

1576
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 13: the homeowners? Well, my son just bought his first house

1577
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 13: and he's thirty five house up there in North College Hill.

1578
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: You know what? And there you go. I mean that's

1579
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 1: a that's a little younger. I think Greg said it

1580
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 1: was what was it forty percent? And I'm sorry, forty

1581
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:25,600
Speaker 1: five years forty years old? I'll be okay, yeah, I

1582
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 1: mean was it because he had a hard time, you know,

1583
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: finding a loan that was appropriate for him or what

1584
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 1: was the reason?

1585
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 8: Uh?

1586
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 13: No, he was just just looking. I mean he had

1587
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 13: he got a pretty good job by it at a dealer.

1588
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,600
Speaker 13: He was like, he's like a massive teching one of

1589
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 13: his big dealers.

1590
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: Now okay, okay, and he just.

1591
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 13: He was just saying it was dull one he found

1592
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 13: he was looking for an opportunity and found really a

1593
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:51,200
Speaker 13: great opportunity out there in North College.

1594
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 1: Will I'm glad that he was able to get one,

1595
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 1: because you know what I mean, Rick, it is the

1596
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 1: American dream, And you know, the thought was, and when

1597
01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: I was kind of coming up, you graduate from high school,

1598
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:05,799
Speaker 1: you go to college, or if you don't go to college,

1599
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:08,400
Speaker 1: you go to work. You get a home. But back

1600
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: then we're talking seventy three, seventy four, seventy five. Hell,

1601
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: the interest rates under Jimmy Carter got up too close

1602
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: to thirteen fourteen percent, and nobody could buy a home then.

1603
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,000
Speaker 1: But I'm glad to hear that about your son.

1604
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:26,479
Speaker 13: There's a well, I think that the government, it saw

1605
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:29,880
Speaker 13: on a shirt. The government, on one hand, tried to

1606
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 13: help people, you know, like they came up with those GSCs.

1607
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 13: Fanny Maid.

1608
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, he came up with any man.

1609
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:38,760
Speaker 6: But it shouldn't.

1610
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 13: But that thing should have Thun said it. I mean

1611
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 13: after the war anyway, because people were pretty much on

1612
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:46,599
Speaker 13: their feet. But he just let that thing go. I mean,

1613
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 13: the government just let them go in and now houses

1614
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 13: what four hundred you know it's crazy.

1615
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,719
Speaker 1: It really is. And you mentioned that when I bought

1616
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,360
Speaker 1: my first house, there was a thing. It was my

1617
01:29:57,400 --> 01:30:00,080
Speaker 1: mother was a realtor and she helped a fah a

1618
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 1: loan which was a lower interest loan for first time

1619
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 1: home buyers. And you know, I mean I was just

1620
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,599
Speaker 1: getting out of college, but he had a good job

1621
01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 1: coming up. And to be honest with you, I mean

1622
01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 1: I could have done it otherwise. But you know that's

1623
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,200
Speaker 1: the government. And I have no problem for veterans getting

1624
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: some kind of preference, but it is the American dream,

1625
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 1: and I just hope we can get back to being

1626
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 1: able to have young people being able to afford home

1627
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 1: at a reason.

1628
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 6: Why I got a quick question for maybe you go,

1629
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 6: I don't. Maybe your memory goes back there.

1630
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 13: For there was an instance back way back in sixty

1631
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,760
Speaker 13: seven my grandmother got ripped all by this guy. He

1632
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 13: put in the law Pip, and she had to force.

1633
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 13: We got in the car in on Saturday in sixty

1634
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 13: seven and she took me worth. I guess she thought, oh,

1635
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 13: just gonna get a loading opportunity, and she stopped there

1636
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 13: were at the city hall. Now I don't know who

1637
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 13: that guy was. I think it was Tom Lucan or somebody.

1638
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:58,599
Speaker 13: I think Lucan was working on Saturdays and sixty seven

1639
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:00,720
Speaker 13: in the city hall. I guess who that was.

1640
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what did he do with your mom?

1641
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 13: Well, my grandson, I mean my grandmother. He just he

1642
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 13: just saw I mean, you know, I wouldn't you would

1643
01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 13: be a little bit uh suspicious somebody walking around uh

1644
01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 13: in that in the hallway down there, because there was

1645
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 13: a go boy down there on Saturday morning. So he

1646
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:22,120
Speaker 13: just peeked out at office and he said, well, may

1647
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 13: I help you? Then my grandmother gave her this situation

1648
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 13: and he said, well, miss so and so, uh, just

1649
01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 13: come to my office. And what's this gentleman's number? So

1650
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:33,599
Speaker 13: he took the phone number. This is funny. He took

1651
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 13: the phone number, and he called his guy up and

1652
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 13: he says, I hear you. You took this and so

1653
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 13: and so money for a down payment on wallpaper. And

1654
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 13: it's been like almost a month and he still have

1655
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 13: to show up. And then he said and then he

1656
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 13: really got nasty. He says, well, you know, I'm going

1657
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 13: to tell you this and so and so so and

1658
01:31:51,120 --> 01:31:53,600
Speaker 13: so and uh, I think he said he was a

1659
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:57,720
Speaker 13: hampy county assistant prosecutor or something. He said, well, if

1660

Speaker 13: going to charge you with last meat by tricks, which well,

1662
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 13: wish you were just seven years in the house attention.

1663
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:08,160
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah.

1664
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 13: The funny thing is said that that he said, Look,

1665
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 13: I don't I wouldn't even trust him. I would just

1666
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 13: try to get the money back. But anyway, they show

1667
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,599
Speaker 13: up anyway, and if they show.

1668
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:20,440
Speaker 6: Up, actually it was the whole parade.

1669
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 1: That's a good story, Rick. And you know Tom Logan,

1670
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:26,160
Speaker 1: I knew him a little bit to it. He was

1671
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:27,920
Speaker 1: in the tail end of his career when I was

1672
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 1: just starting. I liked him. And boy he was a

1673
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 1: talker too. Uh he could be abrasive, but I can

1674
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 1: see him doing that because I mean he fought for people.

1675
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,280
Speaker 1: But I do have to move on to another call.

1676
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:44,640
Speaker 13: But that's that's a and hey and uh and go

1677

Speaker 1: And there was h Tom had been retired for a

1680
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 1: long time. You know what I think it was. It

1681
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:57,479
Speaker 1: might have been the the ballot issue in the early

1682
01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 1: two thousands to uh take away the civil service protection

1683

Speaker 1: for cops or something and he had worked on a

1684
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 1: little bit, and I mean I really enjoyed me. He

01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 1: always had good stories and uh just he was a

1686
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 1: tough guy, no question about it, but a very decent man.

1687
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 1: I think, Okay, let's see who's next on the hit parade. Here,

Speaker 13: Hey?

01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 7: I just want your take on I think this is hilarious.

1692
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 7: The city council wants to uh make safe places for

1693
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 7: all the homeless kids that are living in cars. Yeah,

1694
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:34,840
Speaker 7: they're gonna They're gonna put him in a parking lot.

1695
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 4: They're gonna.

1696
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:37,640
Speaker 7: I'm like, we can't even find hotel rooms. If you

1697
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:39,680
Speaker 7: come from Guatemala, we're gonna give you a.

1698
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 11: Hotel, a phone, food, you know.

1699
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:43,720
Speaker 7: But if you live here, you get to stay in

1700
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 7: your car.

1701
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I don't know.

1702
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:47,640
Speaker 7: To me, it's it's hilarious.

1703
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 1: I saw that, but I didn't read it. What is it?

1704
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 1: What exactly are Yeah, they.

1705
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 7: Said that there's there's they said, I think the last

1706
01:33:56,520 --> 01:33:58,559
Speaker 7: time I writt in the inquire, which I you know,

1707
01:33:58,600 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 7: I take that with a grain of salt. But they

1708
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:03,400
Speaker 7: said there's like four thousand kids that are in the

1709
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 7: city public schools that nowhere to live, so they're living

1710
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:09,320
Speaker 7: in their cars. Okay, And so this guy's idea was,

1711
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,360
Speaker 7: let's have a parking lot and they'll be all lit

1712
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:14,320
Speaker 7: and there'll be a security guy there, and they still

1713
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 7: have to live in their car, but we'll give them

1714
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 7: blankets and pillows, and there's gonna be a little kitchen

1715
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:21,559
Speaker 7: they can go in. I'm thinking, how many empty schools

1716
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 7: do we have? How many empty buildings? We couldn't come

1717
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 7: up with a better thing for these people than to

1718
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:27,920
Speaker 7: let them live in their car.

1719
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:31,200
Speaker 1: That's kind of crazy. Yeah, I'm glad you called and

1720
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:32,000
Speaker 1: told me. I'm gonna go.

1721
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 4: Are we are we a sanctuary city too?

1722
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 7: Aren't we like a sanctuary city still?

1723
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:39,200
Speaker 1: Or I don't know what it's goodly, I think we

1724
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 1: were kind of quasy, but I think I thought the

1725
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 1: city said no, we're not. But you hear the craziness

1726
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:46,759
Speaker 1: that they're doing.

1727
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 7: But anyway, I mean, I think we could step up

1728
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 7: and do something better for the kids.

1729
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I agree, I agree. You can't

1730
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 1: take it.

1731
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 7: Okay, that's all I got.

1732
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, you know what, now I'm going to

1733
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 1: go back and find that because I saw it, and

1734
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 1: what the heck? I guess. You know, there are people

1735
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:07,559
Speaker 1: that and they're poor people. I get that they don't

1736
01:35:07,600 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 1: have anywhere to live, so they live in their car.

1737
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: But you always got to remember this. You can live

1738
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 1: in a car, but you can't drive a house. Let's

1739
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,480
Speaker 1: talk to Fred in Saint Petersburg.

1740
01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 6: Hey, Fred, I'm doing doing good.

1741
01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:23,760
Speaker 4: Mike.

1742
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 14: You know, this isn't what I called about, but it

1743
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:31,240
Speaker 14: got me thinking. Down here in Florida, a cheap old

1744
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 14: house is like four hundred thousand dollars. I heard you

1745
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 14: talking about the houses they're too eighty eight or something

1746
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:41,679
Speaker 14: like that. And a cheap two bedroom apartment is going

1747
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:44,559
Speaker 14: for about two thousand dollars a month.

1748
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:45,639
Speaker 1: And St.

1749
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:50,200
Speaker 7: Petersburg, well, yes, yeah, I have thought they'd been higher.

1750
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 14: Well, a three bedroom, two bath we just looked at

1751
01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 14: one actually for twenty five hundred dollars a month.

1752
01:35:58,240 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 4: Ooh.

1753
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 6: Now that is in a.

1754
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:04,320
Speaker 14: Area with a lot of Section eight and stuff like that.

1755
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 14: You know, I'm not living someplace like no, and I.

1756
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 1: Get that, but is Saint Petersburg and in the situation

1757
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 1: where you might get the hurricanes and all that.

1758
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 14: I guess, oh yeah, sure, yeah, we had a badroom.

1759
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:20,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I thought I heard Fred that you can't

1760
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 1: even get that insurance anymore.

1761
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 14: I don't know about that. I think you can, yes,

1762
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,479
Speaker 14: But if you're looking for a place, you want to

1763
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 14: find a place that's in a non flood area and

1764
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 14: all that you can all everybody can look all that

1765
01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 14: stuff up. I'm not an expert on any no. Yeah, back, yeah,

1766
01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 14: back in seventy nine, I bought my first house in Xenia,

1767
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 14: in Lanewood, Little they called him Cardboard City. Yes, for

1768
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:53,559
Speaker 14: twenty eight thousand, and it was right during Carter and

1769
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 14: I got my interest rate at eight and a half

1770
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:59,639
Speaker 14: percent little, Yeah, not too long after that, like you said,

1771
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:03,519
Speaker 14: up to thirteen if I remember right, some answer straight

1772
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 14: for sixteen percent?

1773
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:05,160
Speaker 9: You know what.

1774
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: I think you're right about that. It was just incredible.

1775
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: I mean I was so young, I didn't really appreciate it.

1776
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't have any money to buy a

1777
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:14,639
Speaker 1: house then, but a lot of my friends did. They

1778
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 1: didn't go to college. But it was how could a

1779
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,759
Speaker 1: young person ever do something like that? Now? I guess

1780
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,519
Speaker 1: he can refinance, but that's crazy. But I gotta get

1781
01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 1: a couple more here, Fred, But I am okay, enjoy

1782
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:29,439
Speaker 1: Saint Petersburg Man. I wish I was there. I don't

1783
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 1: even know what the weather is, but it's got to

1784
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: be better than here. Let's talk to Tim in Liberty Township. Hey,

1785
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:38,879
Speaker 1: good morning, Tim.

1786
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:40,240
Speaker 13: Hey, how are you doing today?

1787
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm good. We only got a couple minutes.

1788
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 15: Sorry, Okay, that's okay.

1789
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 7: I'll make this quick.

1790
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:50,240
Speaker 15: I have two children, one adopted from China, one from Russia,

1791
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:51,599
Speaker 15: so I've been to both countries.

1792
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:54,599
Speaker 6: Yes, and people who believe that.

1793
01:37:55,040 --> 01:38:00,240
Speaker 15: Socialism and communism is better are completely out of their mind.

1794
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 15: Agree China, for example, they told us the only way

1795
01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:07,840
Speaker 15: we could contact our loved ones at that time was

1796
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 15: we could send them an email. But make sure that

1797
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:13,360
Speaker 15: whatever we send there was nothing negative about China, because

1798
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:16,639
Speaker 15: they were going to monitor us and they could really

1799
01:38:17,040 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 15: cause a lot of problems for us if they found

1800
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:20,559
Speaker 15: us saying anything negative.

1801
01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me at all. It's just it's really

1802
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 1: when you see surveys like that sixty two percent of

1803
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 1: American adults under thirty under age thirty or a favorable

1804
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:37,759
Speaker 1: view of socialism, I'm telling you it's the college campus,

1805
01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:42,559
Speaker 1: and they're getting indoctrinated now in high school and it's terrible. Hey, listen,

1806
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 1: I got to get out of here, but I appreciate

1807
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: the call though. Thank you for that. I really appreciate that.

1808
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: And if you have time, sometimes call back because I'd

1809
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 1: like to talk to you a little bit more. You know,

1810
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 1: there's a guy that has seen it firsthand, and it is.

1811
01:38:56,360 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 1: It's on record. Socialism has never been successful anywhere it

1812
01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:06,559
Speaker 1: has been tried, and communism even more so. I'll tell you,

1813
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: we've got to get a handle on what these teachers

1814
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 1: are teaching our kids and pay attention to it. I

1815
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 1: don't know anyway, Listen, I am at the end of

1816
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:20,519
Speaker 1: the rope here, so got to get out of here.

1817
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 1: Be back next Sunday. Mike Allen, Saturday midday
