Speaker 1: we have chocso Chuck will stop on in the studio.

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: We'll see if we can't work ourselves through that perfect

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: day for a Smith event. Every day is a perfect

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: day for a Smith event. But it's considering everything that's

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: going on on the heels of Signal ninety nine being

24
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: on the program on Friday, Boy, that was a fun

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: conversation and thanks to everybody who listened to it and

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: all the positive comments about the interview. I truly appreciate

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: the words and the kind words they are and all

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: the people who listen to it. Mistrkker told me that

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: in one day we got more people listening and downloaded

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: that podcast then we get in a week here on

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: any of the other segments on the morning show, And

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: may be a reflection of the popularity of Signal ninety nine. Regardless,

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: lots of folks listen to it, and she's got a

34
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: couple of words or two by way of corrective action

35
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: moving forward for our young people in the community. Of course,

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: a lot of information about the settlement agreement between the

37
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Hinton family and the City of Cincinnati. Obviously, no one

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: knew about it until Signal ninety nine gave the information

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: to FOP President Kenkober, who announced it to the world,

40
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: resulting in some comical responses from the city manager and

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: the attorney for the Hinton family. Get to that in

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: a minute. If you didn't listen to the segment, I

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: strongly encourage you to head on here fifty five care

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: Sea dot com. And for those who want her on

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: the program every single week as a regular segment. And

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people wanted that, and I agree it

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: sounds like a great idea. Signal ninety nine isn't able

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: to do that. She is willing to on an as

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: needed basis when hot topics hit the street, when there's

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: new information out there about shenanigans or police activity or

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: whatever it happens to be related to police, law enforcement,

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: or getting information out to you and I that otherwise

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: we wouldn't get. That's why she's so popular on Facebook.

54
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: She seems to have the inside info on literally everything,

55
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: including the idea that there's a settlement agreement going on

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: other having a discussion on that this morning, Yeah, closed

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: executive session discussion. I might underscore on the same day

58
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: that Alex Chervinsky, the man who was actually a victim

59
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: but it also identified as a suspect in a downtown brawl,

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: he scheduled to go to trial today on charges of

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct. You may remember him. He is one of

62
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: the people that got that crap beat out of him

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: in the beatdown that happened last summer. Yeah, so stayed

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: over twenty eight blows to his head and face, brutally

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: beaten and being charged for disorderly conduct. Huh. Anyway, interesting

66
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: witnessless that one, and the timing couldn't be more interesting

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: or unusual. Smithman, I have a feeling in his smith

68
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: event might address some of this. He'll be out at

69
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: seven to twenty. The former vice mayor of the City

70

81
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: his wonderful op ed opinion that I read on the

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: morning show regarding him just getting off social media and

83
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: letting his minions take care of social media matters while

84
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: he focuses on well doing the right thing for the

85
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: state of Ohio. As we move fast forward to November

86
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: and the big election for governor, he wants to focus

87
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: on the issues, not the chatter that's going online. Zach Haynes.

88
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: We heard from Zach for the first time. Americans for

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Prosperities Donald and Neil announced that they were endorsing and

90
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: backing Ohio State Senate representative for District seven. Zach Haynes,

91
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: who phoned in the show, appreciated the endorsement and will

92
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: join the program this morning at eight thirty to talk

93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: about his campaign, who he is, why we should vote

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: for him, and of course his dance on the issues.

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: So there's your lineup this morning. Five one, three, seven, four,

96
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: nine to fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two

97
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: to three Taco with pound five fifty on at and

98
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 1: T funds. Yes Again. Councils meeting today in a closed

99
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: door session to talk about this mysterious settlement agreement. No

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: lawsuits been filed by the Hidden Family against the city

101
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: for wrongful death. Of course, the eighteen year old Ryan

102
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Hinton got killed by a police officer in a justifiable shooting,

103
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: at least that's what the prosecutor said. Well, when you

104
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: point a gun at someone, you are in going to

105
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: be shot, or at least it's justified that the officer

106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: shot him. Sadly, dad, then his dad goes and runs

107
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: over a sheriff's deputy within twenty four hours of that shooting,

108
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: obviously being prosecuted for that. So why would we be settling,

109
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: why would we discuss settlement? And the dancing around the

110
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: issue from Cheryl Long and you know, even the lawyer

111
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: hitting family lawyer, it's you know, they try to deny

112
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: that it's even going on, but it is obvious that

113
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: they have been talking about settlement. And don't get discouraged.

114
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: Don't distracted by the word massive in connection with ken

115
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Kober's comments, because he came out and said out loud

116
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: that the city is negotiating a massive settlement. Well, the

117
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: attorney for the Hinton family, Fan and Rucker, I think

118
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: that's the word he hung his hat on. This is

119
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: news to me. A massive settlement with millions of dollars

120
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: My first statement was, well, that's news to me, right,

121
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: because they probably haven't been discussing settlement along the lines

122
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars because it was a justifiable shooting. Anyway,

123
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: he didn't deny that they were discussing settlement. Cheral Long

124
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: tried to dodge that bullet to it made it sound

125
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: like that wasn't going on. But when you read her words,

126
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: you can tell damn well that they were talking about

127
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: a settlement. When asked whether his comments meant there is

128
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: there's no settlement being negotiated or on the table, Rucker quote,

129
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: I said what I said just to answer the question

130
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: yes or no, Just to answer the question so we

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: know the answer to that. Otherwise, why would there be

132
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: an executive session in Cincinni City Council to talk about

133
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: this issue? Exactly? And thanks again to Signal ninety nine

134
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: for coming on the program on Friday and giving us

135
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: all the details behind the scenes on this particular matter. There, Wow,

136
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: and where's the railway money? I understand Mayor Charlie Loukan

137
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be joining of the Think You I Have

138
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: Casey Morning Show. At one point he came out not swinging,

139
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: but talking about the railroad money. He seems to have

140
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: a very logical and reasonable perception of what's going on.

141
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: City apparently has spent only four point five million dollars

142
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: of the eighty five million dollars that got socked away

143
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: from the railway fund over the last two fiscal years. Look,

144
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: and said Yester the other day, I would suggest that

145
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: somebody has got to boldly take charge of the promises

146
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: that I made and others made when we sold the

147
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: railroad and figure on how to get this money working

148
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: for the people. Of course, referring to himself as part

149
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: of the person pushing for the sale. He was on

150
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: the railway board. He's no longer there, But remember the

151
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: board was in favor of this sale. I know the

152
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: mayor was have to have purvoal And of course you

153
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: had Christopher Smith Amen coming on the radio telling me,

154
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: telling us generally all the time on why this was

155
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: such a bad idea. And that's a position that he

156
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 1: sticks due to this day. But it's sold, and where

157
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: is the money. It's a great question. Look, an express

158
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: disapployment that only five percent of the railway revenue from

159
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: this year and last year has been spent, and that

160
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: apparently is according to the city's own online dashboard, showing

161
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: four point five million spent out of the eighty five

162
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: million that was available from the fiscal year and this year. Now,

163
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: I know there's an argument to be made, and I

164
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: made the argument that, well, crime is part of the

165
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: existing infrastructure. Of course, the railway earnings can only go

166
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: toward existing infrastructure. And I believe that is a term

167
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: that will be debated forever on the future. Is that

168
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: existing infrastructure? So regardless of that, yeah, where is the money?

169
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: And pivoting over to another topic talking about with Signal

170
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine, Ye, we've got all these resources. The state

171
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: of Ohio is offering the City of Cincinnati for free

172
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: by way of assistance for law enforcement, and yet there

173
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be any clear plan for Mayor Aftab

174
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: Purval on how much he is going to take by

175
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: way of assistance, while at the same time advocating that

176
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: the city's income tax needs be increased in order to

177
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: cover well, first order of business out of his mouth

178
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: for the city tax increase public safety. Huh. Now, I

179
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: didn't get a figure on how much money this additional

180
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: income tax might generate. He didn't even say how much

181
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: he wants to raise income tax but I think we

182
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: can collectively agree not exactly a post, a slogan or

183
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: a banner to get people to move into the city

184
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. I e. Here I'm raising income taxes. But

185
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: how much is the value of that if he does

186
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: raise it at whatever percentage he says, how much money

187
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: is that going to bring? In question? Mark keep that

188
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: figure handy. What is the value of the resources that

189
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: are being offered by the State of Ohio law enforcement

190
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: help assistance? We are down a whole bunch of police officers.

191
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: Ken Cober talked about that as well. I thought the

192
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: most amazing and troubling figure of that discussion was that

193
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: we keep hearing about lateral hires. It was something there

194
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: I have to have Purvol talked about last year after

195
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the beatdown caused him to realize that public safety was

196
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: important to the citizens, and yes, we do have a

197
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: crime problem downtown. Hey, we'll get some lateral hires officers

198
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: that don't have to go through the whole police academy process.

199
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: They're already licensed officers elsewhere. What does hire them away?

200
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: They got thirty available spots open, and ken Cober pointed

201
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: out that only seven applied, So sounds like a at

202
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: least in theory and on paper, lateral hires will solve

203
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: our problem, not if you can't get someone to apply

204
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: for the job. So what is the value of what

205
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: the Ohio State, what the governor is offering. How many

206
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: officers might we receive. We've already had some additional assistance

207
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: with the helicopter and some drone issues. How about taking

208
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: it all and see how things go? Why not accept

209
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: them a couple of months worth of thirty, you know,

210
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: twenty four hour days, seven day a week, all month

211
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: long assistance to see if it helps, does it breach?

212
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: Does it fill in the gap that we currently have?

213
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: Can we manage to get the walking patrols and some

214
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: of the other ideas in place with the help of

215
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: the Ohio State government? Maybe seems to be an idea

216
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: worth pursuing before we run down the road of increasing

217
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: income taxes. My thought, your comments, your thoughts are also welcome.

218
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifty five hundred eight

219
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: two three takyo with time five fifty on AT and

220
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: T phones stick around. Chuck Ingram's going to join the

221
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: program here in a minute. We'll talk about that fourth

222
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: Street bridge closure and how you're going to get from

223
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: pointing to point B. That'll be coming up next, so

224
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: you can stick around. Now that a forty three again

225
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: the highday right now, it's twenty six degrees the fifty

226
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: five KRC detalk station. A couple of segments from now,

227
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: I'll be saying time for first traffic, Chuck Ingram, but no,

228
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna get first traffic at five twenty on a Monday,

229
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: Chuck ingraman studio. Good morning, my brother, and a happy

230
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: New Year to you. It's great to see you.

231
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: The same to you, Brian, it's good to see you

232
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 2: in person.

233
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna get out of get some people out of

234
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: harm's way this morning by explaining, and I'm not sure

235
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: that this has been widely discussed I've even mentioned on

236
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: the Morning Show before, but the closure this morning at

237
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: nine a m. Of the fourth Street bridge connecting Newport

238
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: and Covington. It's gonna be a problem, but one that

239
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: you say, at least you told me in advance of

240
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: the mic coming on, that won't be a long term problem.

241
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about.

242
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: This, okay, and that I mean it's until people get

243
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: used to it. I think this week is gonna be

244
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: really nasty, maybe even the first two weeks, because it's

245
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: just gonna take some time. But you're gonna be going

246
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: up to the eleventh Street or Martin Luther King Junior Drive,

247
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: and I also call it the Girl Scott Bridge on

248
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: eleventh Street. That's the one that you're going to have

249
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: to use as an alternative until twenty to twenty eight summertime.

250
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: So people ultimately will figure this out and then plan accordingly,

251
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: and that's when of the problems that you expect today

252
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: and maybe through next week will subside.

253
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: Well ease just a little bit. Remember when we had

254
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: the four seventy one fire. Of course you remember that,

255
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: of course they do, but that took a while to

256
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: get people used to it. But it was then it

257
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: was like, okay, I can't go that anyway. Yes, the

258
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: jams are going to be I'm not saying that's going

259
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: to be any better or anything like that, but people

260
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: will find alternatives and what they're going to do and

261
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: how much extra time they're going to need for their

262
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: schedules too.

263
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough? I mean, has there been enough?

264
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: I just mentioned that we've been talking about this for

265
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: a while. I guess people haven't been paying attention enough

266
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: to the alternative roots.

267
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: There's going to be that's going to happen. Yes, I

268
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: mean the education campaign. That's exactly right. I'll buy fire

269
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: Watch at nine oh one this morning. Yeah, we'll be

270
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: listening and see you this morning. So it actually really

271
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: literally shuts at nine, like right now, if I was

272
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 2: over there, could I drive across it? This is the

273
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: last commute you'll be able to use it. Yep, supposedly

274
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: they are going to Apparently, and I don't frequent it

275
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: enough to know this, but a lot of pedestrians use

276
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: that bridge, and also some bicycles bicyclist along the way. Well,

277
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: tank is going to set up a free ride around

278
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: the empty entire thing. Those free rides start at seven

279
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: this morning. That's how much they're playing in ahead for

280
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: all of this, and the closer at.

281
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: Nine because you could get across it this morning, but

282
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: you couldn't get across it.

283
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: You're going to go home that way, You're coming back home.

284
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 4: Hey, my bike.

285
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: Parked over there, all right. So at least in terms

286
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: of the future of this project, you see, it's gonna

287
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: be done by twenty twenty eight summertime.

288
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, summer of twenty twenty eight. First they get the

289
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: bridge all torn down, completely torn down. They say that'll

290
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: take until about April of this year, and then the

291
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: rest is rebuilding time until the summer of twenty eight.

292
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, because knocking it down is a lot more fun

293
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: and quicker than.

294
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's putting it back together again that I have

295
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: trouble with.

296
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: That's part about Homer modeling project, because breaking it doesn't

297
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: hurt anything. Just get it out and throw it away.

298
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: Breaking out the sweat just leaking.

299
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: Now have you seen the proposed new bridge design. It

300
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: is going to be a higher volume bridge, a.

301
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: Higher volume bridge, and it's going to allow for those

302
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: bicycles and things of other sorts. So I don't I

303
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: haven't seen one recently, but that's what the original drawings

304
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: I remember them having.

305
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm just waiting for hear about it.

306
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: You know, cost overruns and exceeding budget projections and everything else.

307
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: It seems to go along with one of these.

308
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: I was going to say, that's pretty much a given anymore,

309
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: I know.

310
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Chuck Ingram, we'll look forty first traffic

311
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: report of five forty, and we'll watch as things slowly presumably,

312
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: if you're right, deteriorate a little bit over the course

313
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: of the day and then the coming week until people

314
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: just figure it out.

315
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: And by next week we'll say, oh, that's right, it's closed.

316
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: That's right, let's move on to the other bridge.

317
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

318
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: And I don't recall anyone dying as a consequence of

319
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: the Big Mac Bridge being shut down quite some time.

320
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: So go about your daily life, and that's right. Maintain call.

321
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: That's exactly just remain calm. We must remain.

322
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: Call panic, remain calm. Chuck Ingram, God bless you man.

323
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: It's again great scene in a very happy new year.

324
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: And look forward to your traffic reports throughout the year.

325
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: And of course I look forward to as he does.

326
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: And the Politana loves you. You say, we went about

327
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: Judseph Poulton. He always is just so tickled to death

328
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: to hear your commentary as we lead into the Wednesday

329
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: segment every morning. So I just use this as an opportunity

330
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: to pass it along. He always says to anger that.

331
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: Hey, that's very kind of him. I find it refreshing too,

332
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: to start it, to start the report a little bit different,

333
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: I should say, and the report.

00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 6: Uh. I'm listening to all your stories that you started

359
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 6: with this morning, and they have a similar topic at

360
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 6: the core of them, and it's all money, money, money, money, Yes,

361
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 6: and everybody wants to get their hands in the cookie

362
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 6: jar and get some for themselves and their families and

363
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 6: friends and and all that stuff. And Uh, what I think,

364
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 6: what part of the biggest part of the problem is

365
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 6: is that we have we have people that as they're

366
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 6: growing up and and and becoming adults, they're learning that,

367
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 6: uh they're oh, they there's ways to get other people's money.

368
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 6: Uh you know, you get some too, and here's how

369
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 6: you can do it, and here's some you know what.

370
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 6: Weather It just comes to uh just outright stealing, breaking

371
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 6: the law that way, or or or get together with

372
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 6: some some people and and get a political office and

373
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 6: then you can have some kind of a scheme to

374
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 6: to take more money.

375
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 7: Uh.

376
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 6: It all comes down to stealing. You're taking other people's money.

377
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 6: And that's that's kind of the thing that I wanted

378
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 6: to key on, is that we need people out there

379
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 6: to to teach their children and to let people around

380
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 6: them know, this is not your money. This is other

381
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 6: people's money. You can't just take it even though it is.

382
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 6: You know, it's a big pot of money that's not

383
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 6: your money, just to take for whatever you want. You know,

384
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 6: you're just gonna hire your friends and families so they

385
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 6: can make exorbitant amounts of money selling T shirts or

386
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 6: you know, that's just one example.

387
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 4: You know, there's that.

388
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 6: You know, you have the on the Republican side, of course,

389
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 6: you had the whole the Larry Householder thing, and and

390
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 6: everybody's out to try to get some money, yep, And

391
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 6: it's just it's it's outright fevery. What it comes down to,

392
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 6: Uh wow, look at don't look at all that money.

393
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 6: Let's get some. And then that's the attitude people go

394
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 6: into to go into office with is I want to

395
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 6: get rich. I want to make money. And when you

396
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 6: see these people come in to office and they don't

397
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 6: have a lot of money, and and yet not too

398
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 6: long after they're in office, and especial years later, there

399
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 6: all of a sudden you're rich. Gee, how does that happen? Yeah,

400
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 6: where is that money coming from? It's coming out of

401
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 6: your pocket. Listeners, that money is coming out of your pocket.

402
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 6: The taxes in this country, the cities, states, counties, and

403
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 6: and the country, the taxes are ridiculous. And if you

404
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 6: we just got rid of the amount of waste brought

405
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 6: and abuse, so it would it would be it would

406
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 6: be much more palatable.

407
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 4: Taxes.

408
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 6: Nobody likes it, which you got to have them, I mean,

409
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 6: things got to get paid for. But the I mean

410
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 6: we're just seeing millions and millions and millions of dollars

411
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 6: being taken. They're fraud I mean easy. People don't have

412
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 6: a right to your money. Oh but you know, when

413
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 6: it comes down to it, some of you people who

414
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 6: are listening, you are electing your people who are doing this.

415
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 5: You're voting for them.

416
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 4: Let's keep them in office.

417
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 6: Well that's your fault then, well, so it's your fault

418
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 6: that people are stealing my money.

419
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: Well, I would argue that built into the PI are

420
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: built into the equation, is there is no accountability after

421
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: the money is taken from the taxpayer. There's so much

422
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: that goes into government, obviously insufficient to satisfy the needs

423
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: of government, considering we're in debt for so much, but

424
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: that once it's in the door, they throw it out

425
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: the door, but don't follow up, and you created an opportunity.

426
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: It's I go back to the whole idea. If cameras

427
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: were in the neighborhood, I think most people agree it

428
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: does have a deterrence of fact because criminals know that

429
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: they're there and they will Well, I'll tell you what

430
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: it's like, a house with a dog. I'm not gonna

431
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: go to the house with a dog. There's a house

432
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: next door that doesn't have a dog. I'm not taking

433
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: my chances. You move out of the area with the cameras.

434
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: If there is no accountability, if that money can easily

435
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: be taken and stolen in any way, shape or form,

436
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: then people get the word gets out. There's no sunlight

437
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: of disinfect and following the money. And if there was,

438
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: I think there'll be a hell of a lot more

439
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: accountability with where our money is spent, fewer people who

440
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: attempted to steal the money. Right, Oh my god, there's

441
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: a camera there. Oh my god, there's an inspector general

442
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: like Todd z ins are staring at where the money

443
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: is going and how it's being used. I guess I

444
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: can't steal it.

445
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 6: Then, yeah, pay attention to the people who are having

446
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 6: a problem with the accountability even when it comes to crime.

447
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 6: Pay attention to the people who are having a problem

448
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 6: with more police in the area. You know, you're gonna

449
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 6: find that majority of these people who don't want accountability,

450
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: who don't want extra police on the streets, you know,

451
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 6: who don't want to have to answer for for their behavior.

452
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 6: They're they're on one side of the political spectrum, but

453
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 6: for more often than not, and that's Democrat. But don't

454
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 6: vote Democrat. Have a great day, Bryan.

455
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: Thanks Tom. Always looking forward to seeing how he dies

456
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: in any of the conclusion. Let's se what Bob's got. Hey, Bob,

457
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Happy Monday to you.

458
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 8: Oh, happy Monday to you there, Brian. Okay, I just

459
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 8: wanted to make a comment. I noticed that on these

460
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 8: mayors and stuff in this city council and and I

461
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 8: noticed it with that with that, uh, Karen, I guess

462
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 8: their name is Karen Bass up there in LA. Have

463
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 8: you noticed that they have a hollow look or mayor

464
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 8: They seem like they don't actually they're almost like it's

465
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 8: some type of demonic that they don't really actually know

466
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 8: what's going on. It's kind of half half biblical. It

467
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 8: scares me because nobody on earth would promote lawlessness like this,

468
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 8: and now the criminals are going to see that.

469
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you need to just assume, for the sake of discussion, Bob,

470
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: step back from the you know, whatever weird thing is

471
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: going on right in front of our eyes, and look

472
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: at the broader picture. Why would they want to get

473
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: rid of police generally speaking, Why would they seem to

474
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: encourage lawlessness, Why would they want to stop prosecuting people

475
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: for stealing less than nine hunt and fifty dollars. Maybe

476
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: ultimately that's exactly what they want, Bob. They want our

477
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: country destroyed, and the quickest way to have that happen

478
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: is lawlessness in the streets. And then, oh my god,

479
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: we'll have a declaration of martial law. And people are

480
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: suggesting Donald Trump it should have a martial law declaration

481
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. Now, probably the wrong way to go,

482
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: because much like that woman who got killed interfering with ice,

483
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: they want a martyr, and Marxist philosophy goes down the lines.

484
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: And if you get a state to overreact and oppress

485
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: the people and engage in, you know, law enforcement tactics

486
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: in order to preserve its own longevity, the administration to

487
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: keep it alive and well, like the concept of the

488
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: United States, you want that undermined. And once the law

489
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: enforcement takes to the streets and you have people divided,

490
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 1: you have a success for the leftists. That foonments more anger,

491
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: and then you'll have more illustrations of violence by police

492
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: or law enforcement against the citizenry and oh my god,

493
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm outraged, and it feeds on itself, and you get

494
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: more people into the streets, and then you have a

495
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: situation like that's unfolding it or on right now, where

496
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: the administration looks like it may very well be toppled.

497
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: That's what the left wants. So I'm thinking you just

498
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: keep it in a broad picture perspective, recognize that this

499
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: is exactly what they want, and that answers a whole

500
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: lot of the questions like who in their right mind

501
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: the right mind point being wanting to maintain what we have,

502
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: wanting stability, wanting to preserve our constitution. They don't view

503
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: that as the right mind that's the wrong mindset. We

504
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: need to undermine it. Five thirty six My thought anyway, Bob,

505
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: thank you very much for the comment. Fifty five care

506
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,320

507
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: a stack us too, but either way we go, we're going.

508
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. This is City Talk Station five one, three, seven,

509
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three

Speaker 1: talk time by fifty on eighteenchie phones. And again if

511
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: you have careseea dot com for the podcast full hour

512
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: of re of Wellness Restoration with George Benman and Keith Tennefell.

513
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: That's there. Enjoy that conversation and of course an amazing

514
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: conversation with Signal ninety nine, breaking the news before anybody

515
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: else breaks it, and of course backing up what she

516
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: has to say, revealing inside information. Uh, she's got the

517
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: information to back it up, and no one seems to

518
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: refute what she posts on Signal ninety nine. So follow

519
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: her on Facebook and hopefully down the road we'll have

520
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: more appearances. To all those who listened, I really appreciate it,

521
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: and I know she does, and quite revealing it was

522
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: so fifty five car Sea dot com if you want

523
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: to check that out. Let's go to see what Tom's

524
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: got this morning. Another Tom, thanks for calling Tom, Happy

525
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: money Day.

526
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 9: Happy Monday. So I want you to rehash this thing

527
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 9: that I asked you about six months ago. Why can't

528
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 9: we get a federal national ID badge which would prevent

529
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 9: all this you know, unnecessary rounding up and can't ship

530
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 9: back twenty five million people physically.

531
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 10: But if they can't get a badge, they would leave voluntarily.

532
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 10: You can't use hospitals, schools, you can't get a driver's license,

533
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 10: you can't fly anything like that without a national ID badge.

534
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: Well, our modern technology certainly makes that possible. I guess

535
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: is that going to be viewed as part of the

536
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: surveillance state? And we talked about tech Friday with Dave Hatter.

537
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: He says he will not buy alcohol from Kroker because

538
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: they scan your state ID that has all kinds of

539
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: information on it. You got that ID and it has

540
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: all the information on it. It makes it easy for

541
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: hackers perhaps and the various types to steal it. I

542
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: don't know, but I know that that's a number. And

543
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: then to my very very conservative, evangelical religious types, some

544
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: people view that as a numbering. You know, if you

545
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: recall I believe it was revelations about all that. So

546
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: they're against it from religious reasons. But Would that go

547
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: a long way to stopping fraud? Would that go a

548
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: long way to preventing people from voting in elections when

549
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: they don't have the right to. Yeah, I can't deny it, Tom.

550
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: The question is is it really a long term good idea?

551
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: Can bad things happen based upon the idea that we're

552
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: going to fix a lot of problems doing a national ID?

553
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: Don't know, man, but it's certainly a possible solution. I

554
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: just you know, honestly, I think cross referencing all of

555
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: the various databases we have, I know they can share information.

556
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: And I do believe there's a bunch of lawsuits being

557
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: filed because the Trump administration is trying to get some

558
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: voter or information from some of the states in order

559
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: to determine if there has been fraud. Isn't it good

560
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: to get rid of fraud? Going back to the last caller,

561
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: what is with some of these merits? Why are they

562
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: in favor of more crime, et cetera. Shouldn't everyone be

563
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: interested in getting rid of fraud. We've had this message,

564
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: this argument a million times, like, I'm sorry, you know

565
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: it's racist to require a photo ID. Who in the hell,

566
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: what kind of statement is that no, it's not, and

567
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: it's an insult to anybody of color who someone is

568
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: advancing on your behalf allegedly an argument that you're incapable

569
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: of managing getting a photo ID. Why do we want

570
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: photo IDs? Because we don't want elections to have fraud,

571
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: waste and abuse, or for it, we don't want elections

572
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: to have fraud. But pivoting over to the broader realities

573
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: you could cover, you could deal with a lot of

574
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: those issues via that kind of identification. Do we want it?

575
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: I think that's a question and a topic worthy of debate.

576
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: The sue of Pat's Guy This morning, Pat, welcome to

577
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: the morning, showing a happy.

578
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 4: Monday to you, Same to you, Brian.

579
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 7: These commercials about these young people that are buying houses,

580
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 7: and I heard that corporations are buying houses.

581
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: Well they have been once the housing collapsed back in

582
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven and eight.

583
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 10: Yeah.

584
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 7: Well, the thing that I'm wondering is if corporations are

585
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 7: buying houses and young these young people that are in

586
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 7: advertising they'll buy your house, where do they get the money?

587
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 7: Are they getting it from the corporation?

588
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not familiar with your statement. These young people

589
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: buying houses. I'm not quite sure what that refers to,

590
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: but in so far as corporations buying houses like black

591
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: Rock again, they've been doing this now for going on,

592
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen twelve or so years. They've acquired a

593
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: bunch of real estate. They rent those houses. Donald Trump

594
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: with a statement, a very populous one, saying we want

595
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: to stop that from happening and prevent massive investors from

596
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: buying homes and getting those homes off the market and

597
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: driving prices up. Yeah, that's true, but it's also a

598
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: capitalism kind of thing. They've got money. Well, there's go ahead.

599
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 7: There's another thing. I remember, and I heard this years ago,

600
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 7: that you will own nothing, and this kind of stuff

601
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 7: kind of brings that into my head, and I'm thinking,

602
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 7: you're going to be renting. You won't be able to

603
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 7: own anything.

604
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: Right, that's the goal. Oh we're way past that, pas, Yeah,

605
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: that is this stated goal, the un goals and objectives.

606
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: Look what's going on with Zorhan Bandami in New York

607
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: and his housing person. They've come out right and said it.

608
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, no, this is no shock pad. I'm sorry

609
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: you just got the memo recently, but yeah, this has

610
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: been a phenomenon. I've been raging. That's ultimately what the

611
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati is moving toward, this connected communities thing,

612
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: small dense urban housing. You will not own it, You

613
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: will rent it. The state will own it. That's why

614
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: New York has the right of first refusal in real estate.

615
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: If you're a private home owner and you want to

616
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: sell your home, you got to give the city the

617
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to buy it first. Why so they can put

618
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: some non governmental organization in charge of running and operating

619
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: the rental unit. It will become Yeah, it's going on

620
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: all over the place, frightening. Yeah, but that's the idea.

621
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: Leftist Marxists don't believe in the private property ownership. It's crazy.

622
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: For the average normal, clear thinking, logical, reasonable human being,

623
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: it's crazy. But for them, this is their belief and

624
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: their religion. Somehow it's magically going to transfer oversaw the

625
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: we're all gonna be singing Kumba y'ah because we live

626
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: in this collective community. No one has private property. That's

627
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: the dream. It's a moist one for the left, too,

628
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: very very moist dreaming. Five forty six right now, fifty

634
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: o'clock hour and for Smither vent and Monday Monday's Brian

635
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: James coming up at the meantime. Let's get Brian. He's

636
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: got a comment, Brian, thanks for calling this morning. Happy

637
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: Monday to you.

638
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 9: Uh, Brian, Hey, I'm a white man and last I

639
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 9: know white as a race as well. So if their

640
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 9: logic is it's racist to.

641
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 4: To ask them to get an ID, then then that

642
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: means it's racist for me to have one. So then

643
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 4: why do I have to have one?

644
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: Right? Well, you didn't call it for an argument. Brian

645
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: always thought the racism argument in as an objection to

646
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: the requirement to get an idea. He was always preposterous

647
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: and it is preposterous. And you say, you're you're a

648
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: white guy, so you're a race. What kind of race?

649
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: Are you? An Irish American or an English American or

650
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: a German American. We go down the list of traditionally

651
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: Caucasian looking white people and they all come from a

652
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: variety of different countries. Around the world. One of the

653
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: reasons this whole breaking it down into race is a

654
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: lot of nonsense too. But yeah, and going back to

655
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: the arguments that are made against a national idea. Thank you.

656
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: Brian turned the aclus on web page from the what

657
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: were You Thinking viiled twenty three year old man from China.

658
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: He dured what is described as excruciating pain after failing

659
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: or following rather for a traditional remedy. Don't use that

660
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: as a literal translation. I'm not sure if it is

661
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: a traditional remedy anyway. He found it online. Specifically, he

662
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: inserted a five centimeter long live leech into his bladder.

663
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that?

664
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: Viyeah his urethra, they say. It's unclear how long the

665
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: young and misguided man came across us the bizarre folk remedy,

666
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: but he was well in a lot of pain as

667
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: a consequence of it. It resulted in urethrael obstruction, causing

668
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: him pain made it impossible for him to urinate. The

669
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: leech did not remain there, however, it crawled into his bladder,

670
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: where it attached to the walls and began releasing anti

671
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: coagulants that resulted in excruciating pain. He then had to

672
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: go to the emergency room and admit what he had done.

673
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. And for those

674
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: who aren't in the know, the Eurology Department there performed

675
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: a transurethral bladder foreign body removal surgery and successfully removed

676
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: the leech, providing him with at least the ability to

677
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: urinate again. So big question mark swirling around why anybody

678
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: would do this? Yeah, Well, like I always say, Abraham

679
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: Lincoln said it. If you read it on the internet,

680
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: it's true. Five ifty five fifty five k seit he

681
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: talks to you. Stick around, We've got lots to talk about

682
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: this six o'clockation six or six opinion about Gari see

683
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: the talk station Bryan twas swish and everyone a very

684
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: happy Monday. I hope you had a great weekend too.

685
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: Looking forward to a little more than an hour from now.

686
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: Every Monday at seven twenty we hear from the former

687
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: Vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Christopher Smitheman. And

688
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: of course I'm not quite sure. I never do know

689
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: what he's going to talk about in advance, but maybe,

690
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 1: just maybe this executive session is since a city Council

691
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: to talk about the yes, apparently ongoing settlement discussions with

692
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 1: the city and the Hitton family. Of course, the eighteen

693
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: year old that has gone down because he turned a

694
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: firearm on police officers, justifiable shooting according to the Hamilton

695
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: County prosecutor. Why would they settle that? No one knows.

696
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: And that's why I was so pleased to have Signal

697
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: ninety nine in the program this past Friday. She was

698
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: the one that got the inside information about these settlement

699
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: discussions that no one has claimed aren't happening. They've danced

700
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: around the idea about the monetary mouth the millions of dollars.

701
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, million dollars settlement,

702
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: says their attorney, by the hitting family attorney. But he

703
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: doesn't deny that the settlement discussions are ongoing. Of course,

704
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: some council members got win to that. It's widely reported,

705
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: as Signal ninety nine pointed out here, what wait, what

706
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: settlement agreement? So consequently they're going to go behind closed

707
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: doors with no notes and no reporters and talk about

708
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: it today. Somebody hopefully is speaking with Signal ninety nine

709
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: as a whistleblower that has access to that discussion, so

710
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: we can actually find out what's going on, wait for it,

711
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: given the outlawed expressions by some of the council members,

712
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: though I I don't know, I hate to say it

713
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: out loud if I was a betting man, Maybe they

714
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: won't settle. Maybe they'll force the Hitting family to actually

715
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: file a lawsuit to justify they're claim that they're entitled

716
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: to money. And as Signal ninety nine pointed out here

717
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: on the program, apparently the Hitting family friends with Iris Rowley,

718
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: who we discovered apparently runs the entire city of Cincinnati. Yes,

719
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: that's a broad brushway of boiling down an hour's worth

720
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: of discussion with her. You draw your own conclusions. Check

721
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 1: out the podcast and thanks to all the folks who

722
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: chimed in on it. We're thankful for the discussion and

723
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: glad to hear the information, and of course asking she

724
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: joined the program on a regular segment weekly basis, not

725
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: going down that road. She's got some health issues and

726
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: would rather just keep this kind of discussion ongoing, but

727
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: on an as needed basis. So when Signal ninety nine

728
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: gets more information about that kind of Shenanigan's going on,

729
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: should me more than please to come back to the

730
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: morning show and talk about it. So God bless you.

731
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: Signal ninety nine. We all wish you the best of

732
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: health and quick recovery for your current issues. Check the

733
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: podcast out after Smithaman, we're gonna hear from Money Monday

734
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: one segment, how has your retirement number change? That's what

735
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: Brian James will be talking about because v vike ramaswam

736
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: is going to join the program after that at eight twenty,

737
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Rob McCauley, the selected running mate. The

738
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: op ed I read from vvike ramaswamming appearing in the

739
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. I read that last week early and

740
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: it's a great one too. His observations about why he's

741
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: jumped off social media. A bunch of chatter out there,

742
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of influences going on in some really massive

743
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: of negativity. That is a way of distracting politicians from

744
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: doing what is right. You've seen it recently with the

745
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: organized ice protesters. You get one thing that's that divides

746
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: people who are going to have a whole bunch of

747
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: people chime in on it. That is a way of

748
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: distracting politicians. What do the constituents actually want or who's

749
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: the squeakiest wheel out there. He's not going to be

750
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: listening to the squeakiest wheel anymore. Vivig Ramaswami at A

Speaker 1: twenty Zach Haynes. Zach Haynes is running for the seventh

761
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: not quite sure which direction I want to go. You

762
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: think the signal ninety nine's planned for dealing with our

763
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,160

Speaker 1: Waking Up Signal ninety nine. Yeah, it's kind of the

765
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: direction I was going to go. Oh and by the way, Pat,

766

Speaker 1: is by design. Yes, they do want to eliminate the

770
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: concept of private home ownership and go full on socialism.

771
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: So if you want to break down how that works

772
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: and what their motivations are, Lyssa Finley did a great

773
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: job in that op ed piece. Anyway, Signal ninety nine

774
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: rights this was just a couple of days ago. Our

775
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: kids are dying city parks and on corners that have

776
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: become battlegrounds for gang territory. We all see it, we

777
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: all feel it. Since Ida has fifty two neighborhoods, she writes,

778
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: proud working neighborhoods with too many of them, especially where

779
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: opportunity thins have become places where kids are so bored

780
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: and unsupervised no my emphasis on that word, so unsupported,

781
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: so unprotected, that the street becomes the only thing that

782
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: feels like structure, and gangs are happy to step in

783
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: and provide the rest. Now, before I pivot over the

784
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: balance of her op ed piece and her suggestions on

785
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: how to deal with this, also keep in mind you

786
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: folks out in lower crime communities that unsupervised, unsupported, and

787
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: unprotected children are being manipulated in this particular case, beyond gangs,

788
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: it's by any pervert or crazy person, or perhaps someone

789
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: with a political chip on their shoulder on social media.

790
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: Keep that aspect in mind. The entire world has access

791
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: to your children. Now. She is focusing on neighborhoods that

792
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: are overwhelmed with gang activity and with unsupervised teens. Clearly

793
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: that's a pathway to them getting involved with gang activity anyway,

794
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: she writes, gangs offer what so many kids crave, bonding, belonging,

795
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: perceived protection, self worth, and an opportunity to earn real money.

796
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: Keep those parallels with the internet in mind. This is

797
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: not about skin color, political ideologies, is not about religions.

798
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: This is about whether we are willing to build a

799
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: lifeline for kids who are currently have none, or whether

800
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: we are comfortable watching them get recruited, armed, used, discarded

801
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: and buried. Because that is exactly what's happening. Since he's

802
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: dealing with the surgeon and juvenile involvement in serious crimes,

803
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: teens stealing cars by the hundreds, police report. The large

804
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: portion of autothest suspects are under eighteen, many as young

805
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: as ten years old. Groups of kids are breaking into

806
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: vehicles downtown and across neighborhoods in co ordinated crews. Twenty

807
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: twenty three alone, fifty five teenagers between thirteen and seventeen

808
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: were shot in this city, six of them killed. Two

809
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: children under the age of twelve murdered within two years

810
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: near the same West End park. Violent crime remains elevated.

811
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,479
Speaker 1: Guns are easy to find, social media beef turns into

812
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: real funerals, and the ages keep dropping. Kids are recruited

813
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: into the gang life as young as eight in cities

814
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: like La. Recruitment has been documented in elementary school age

815
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: children as young as six years old. Gangs know exactly

816
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They know juveniles rarely do real time.

817
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: They know the system is designed to rehabilitate kids, not

818
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: warehouse them. They know a fourteen year old carrying a

819
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: gun or slinging dope is a low risk employee, so

820
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: they use them. These kids move drugs, stealing cars, carry

821
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: weapons to commit shootings. Why Because when those kids get caught,

822
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: adult gang members stay free to keep running their criminal enterprises.

823
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: Children become the shield. This continues. What comes next is

824
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: not a mystery, more cars stolen, more armed teenagers, more

825
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: drive buys, which means more mothers planning funerals, or officers

826
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: responding to scenes involving children with bullet wounds. We can

827
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: keep reaching to the aftermath, or we can disrupt the pipeline.

828
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: And yes, this has been done before. Now here's where

829
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: she comes with a program, idea, and then you can

830
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: feel free to chime in on whether you think it's

831
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: a good idea or not. But remember the root of

832
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: this problem, and I think she astutely observes, is the

833
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: unsupervised reality of children. That's why I said you need

834
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: to view this more broadly. Well, my kid isn't in

835
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: a neighborhood that's overrun with gangs. Yeah, but your kid

836
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: is in a neighborhood that's got access for all these

837
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: criminal types and these evil forces directly into their lifeline,

838
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 1: that social media app or the smartphone or the computer anyway.

839
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: Cities that invest she writes, instructured youth spaces, mentoring and

840
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: mental health across consistently, I'm sorry, and mental health access

841
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: consistently reduced file and crime, gang recruitment and repeat victimization.

842
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: Not with slogans, with infrastructure So here's the proposal. Plainly,

843
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: she writes, neighborhood bathed use youth safety and development centers,

844
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: not a charity, not a feel good nonprofit, not pandering

845
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: for ribbon cutting photo ops, an honest public safety project

846
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: to save kids most at risk in forgotten communities. She says,

847
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: we need an early intervention violence prevention system built directly

848
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: into the neighborhood's most impacted. City Hall doesn't fund nice ideas.

849
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: City Hall funds crime reduction. So let's call this what

850
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: it is, a violence prevention and early intervention public safety

851
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: infrastructure project. If you recharacterize it, you might get people

852
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: around it.

853
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: Huh.

854
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: Anyway, same way we fund fire stations, stop fires before

855
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: buildings collapse, same way we fund bridges before they fail

856
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: or fall. Invest early or pay dearly later. These centers

857
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: would operate after school and into the evening year round,

858
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 1: expand in summer when violence strikes. She says. They provide

859
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: real structure, supervised hours between three a three pm and

860
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: nine pm. I thought of the Wesley Chapel mission and

861
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: over the rhyme when I thought about this. They've been

862
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: doing this for years and years for a religious element,

863
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 1: providing children with a safe space, free and away from

864
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: gang activity in the violence in downtown worked there where

865
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: it works there anyway? That mean that was me interjecting

866
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: that they would offer sports and fitness, homework help, tutoring,

867
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: life skills, money management, conflict resolution, job readiness, says on

868
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: site licensed counselors weekly social workers who can quietly help

869
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: kids access food, clothing, and transportation, emergency support without shame

870
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: off didy, police officers who choose to mentor and protect,

871
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: not just respond after tragedy. Community volunteers who know the kids'

872
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: names instead of their case numbers. All this sounds wonderful

873
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: and glorious. Could we get all of these folks to

874
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: volunteer and commit to doing this from three up at

875
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: pm to nine pm every day? A number of ideas

876
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: go along with this. I needn't dive on into all

877
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: of them. In the interest of times, She claims the

878
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 1: budget would only be two hundred and sixty five thousand

879
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: dollars per center per year, fully staff, fully insured, and

880
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: fully accountable three centers seven hundred ninety five thousand dollars. Now, again,

881
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't know where the money came from, but that

882
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: sounds remarkably low compared to normal government solutions. Hell Iris

883
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: Rollie's contracts six hundred and forty grand are roughly thereabouts, right.

884
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: How can you run three centers providing all of this

885
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: on that little money? She says, They're all all kinds

886
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: of places the money can come from, DOJ burn, JAG grants, unspend,

887
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: ARPA funds, Violence Reduction Initiative budgets, Youth service levy money,

888
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: community development block grants. So take all this money that's

889
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: being thrown out into the wind all desperately and focus

890
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: it on these three youth centers. Will that work? Don't know,

891
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: it hasn't been tried.

892
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:21,919
Speaker 2: She said.

893
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: It's not about inventing money, it's choosing where we spend it.

894
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: And she concludes, here's the blunt truth. You do not

895
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: save kids with speeches. You don't save them with hashtags.

896
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: You don't save them with press conferences and social media rants.

897
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: We were asked last year to put our money where

898
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: our mouth is. This is us doing exactly that. If

899
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: we work together, replace being belonging to gangs with belonging

900
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: to community, protection from gangs with protection from adults, money

901
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: from crime with opportunity, identity built on fear with pride

902
00:45:54,760 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: built on purpose, chaos with structure. Gangs recruit where nobody

903
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: is watching, nobody is waiting at home, nobody is investing in,

904
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: nobody is present. Yeah, there's that family structure breakdown that

905
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: I see in that sentence. Nobody is watching, nobody is

906
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: waiting at home. Are you keeping and watch out over

907
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: your children moving away again from the gangs in any

908
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: given neighborhood and keeping your eye out for what they

909
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: are being recruited to do online? Are they being influenced

910
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: by the anti ice protesters or Antifa or Black Lives

911
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: Matter or any of the left wing organizations out there

912
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: that are so well oiled and well organized that they

913
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: dominate social media. Are you talking to your children about

914
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: that evil force that's out there? Sorry Signal ninety nine

915
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: for interjecting my own political and sort of realist observations

916
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: about how dangerous are the children's lives are these days?

917
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: But this does transcend gangs, It does transcend broken homes,

918
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: And these are I think outstanding ideas you've got there.

919
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to get the people children out there

920
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 1: were broadly interested in what their children are doing every

921
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: single day, because, as she points out, unsupervised children end

922
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: up doing bad things. I'll encourage everyone to get Signal

923
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: ninety nine follower on Facebook. Read the entire statement in

924

Speaker 1: her ideas. You may be able to elaborate on them,

925
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: you maybe be able to improve on them, but it

926
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: does get the juices flowing in terms of how we

927
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: need to view our young people in this crazy world

928
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: we find ourselves.

929
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: The talk station.

Speaker 1: Station are very happy Monday to you. Try to make

932
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: it so anyway. I don't know why they call it

933
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: the girl Scoutbridge. Matter of fact, I think it's the

934
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: first time I've ever heard that from Chuck. This morning

935
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: he came in and I said, is this going to

936
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: be a difficult thing when the fourth Street bridge cuts

937
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: down because of the is there another way to go?

938
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: Is basically the straight way I put He goes, yeah,

939
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: the girl Scout Bridge, and I looked at him like, huh,

940
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: girl Scout Bridge. That it's probably because we had the

941
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: Dan Beard Bridge, which was he was the founder of

942
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: the Boy Scouts. So in the interest of fairness, we

943
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: got to call something the girl Scott Bridge. Let's call

944
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: that one. I don't know if it's fair to the

945
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: Girl Scouts since it's apparently a dilapidated bridge they're going

946
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: to tear down beginning. Oh, I guess at nine pm

947
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: this or nine am. That's not fair. It's sexist, isn't it.

948
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,560

952
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: I did misspeak. Apparently the Girl Scout Bridge is not

953
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: the one that's falling apart. That's the Fourth Street Bridge. Oh.

954
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: In my confusion and having to react to Joe's comment

955
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: to me about the Girl Scout Bridge, which was a

956
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: new thing for me, that I guess is the eleven

957
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: Street Bridge, which is not falling apart, at least not yet. Anyway,

1013
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: the meeting discussed potential solutions to present the city to

1014
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: enhance safety in the area. One Lindwood resident identified as

1015
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,840

1016

1017
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:10,120

Speaker 1: called Protocol in Lynnwood or Lindenwald focusing on neighborhood needs

1019
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,760

1020
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 1: that brings together police, fire and engineering departments. Speeding and

1021
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 1: generally said, in the violation of all traffic laws, speeding

1022
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: through stop signs. They are a problem not only here

1023
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: in Linden Walld, but citywide. I'm concerned for the whole community,

1024
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: in the whole city as far as that goes. I

1025
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: think we collectively have a problem with people just driving

1026
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: like idiots, not just this neighborhood, but all over the place.

1027
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: Don't be that guy. How many problems would be solved

1028
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 1: if we all just acted like responsible, decent human beings.

1029
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: Is that too much of an ask? You talk to

1030
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: folks like Western Jim Kieffer and others where they've installed

1031
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: these speed humps everything, Apparently people just can just continues

1032
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: speeding right over them. Not good for your car. But

1033
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: I guess if you're more interested in getting to point

1034
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: A to point B fast as you possibly can, disregarding

1035
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,440

1045
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned it was been ten years since David Bowie

1046
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: passed away, hence that bumper music right there, and it

1047
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: was one of those wow, my god, has it been

1048
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: that long kind of things. Hate those revelations. God, I

1049
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm getting old anyway. Also apparently the forty

1050
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: fourth anniversary of the Freezer Bowl. I always like to

1051
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 1: make fun of myself. Yes, I was at the Freezer Ball,

1052
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: but unlike Wood, I didn't stay for the whole thing,

1053
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: not being able to feel any of my arms or

1054
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: legs and certainly feet and hands. By halftime, we all

1055
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: got up and walked out. So I do not regret

1056
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: that moment in time. Yes, I missed a historic game,

1057
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 1: but you know what, watch the balance of it would

1058
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: have got home. It's only you were seven. Thanks Joe,

1059
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: appreciate that seventeen for me anyhow. Interesting geopolitical reality is

1060
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of going on here, and I'm on record as

1061
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: having some big swirling question marks over the extent to

1062
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: which Donald Trump can wage war without the well inclusion

1063
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: of congressional discussion. At least congressional approval would be I

1064
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: think beneficial, would end the swirling question marks and at

1065
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: least providing with the stated authority. But what we argue

1066
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,280
Speaker 1: behind the scenes about that. Let's just move over away

1067
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: from legality in the constitutional implications of this and just

1068
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 1: look at the practical results. You start with Venezuela. Yeah,

1069
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: it was a rather successful elimination of Nicholas Manduro. Right,

1070
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: the oil is no longer flowing, and it's certainly not

1071
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: going to Cuba. Already struggling Cuba was we apparently have

1072
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: now shut off because the Venezuelan leader, currently Delsi Rodriguez,

1073
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: has agreed to redirect oil deliveries to the United States, ie,

1074
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: not going to Cuba, which relies almost exclusively on well

1075
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 1: relied past tense, almost exclusively on Venezuela and oil. Apparently

1076
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: they're one source of oil now is Russia. Between January

1077
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 1: last year and November last year, Caracas said about twenty

1078
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: seven thousand barrels per day to Cuba about fifty percent

1079
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: of the island's oil deficit, a quarter of Cuba's total

1080
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: energy demand. Where are they replacing that? They can't, So

1081
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: we're seeing an already perilous economy perhaps spiral out of control,

1082
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: much in the way Iran is spiraling out of control.

1083
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: That's the other reality you have to factor in. Of course,

1084
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: some people upset that we joined with the Israelis and

1085
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: blew the hell out of the Iranian nuclear ambitions. A

1086
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: thorn in our side they've been I mean, remember Barack

1087
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: Obama sitting down with the Iranian government negotiating terms and conditions,

1088
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: no uranium richment beyond this, and know that we'll need

1089
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: inspectors and no, you can't have inspectors in they admittedly

1090
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: wanted to build a bomb. We know that you don't

1091
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: have to enrich uranium beyond a very small level in

1092
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: order to create energy with it. You don't need the

1093
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: high levels of uranium enrichment that they were doing with

1094
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: their centrifugas. Why are they a problem because they hate

1095
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: us on record wanting to eliminate us in most notably Israel,

1096
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: and they were working toward a bomb. H wonder of fact,

1097
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: what happened if there was a if there was regime change. Well,

1098
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: given the global sanctions have been in place against Iran,

1099
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: that having a profound effect on their economy, the limits

1100
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: of their ability to sell their oil on the global market,

1101
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: then you have US literally evaporating the nuclear aspirations US.

1102
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: That would be the israels in the United States. Yeah,

1103
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: unilateral military action. It worked. Again, moving aside from the

1104
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: legality of it, Now they're scrambling and their economy is

1105
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: in such peril that they are literally rioting in the street,

1106
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: something you don't expect from Iran unless you're overthrowing the

1107
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: Shah and to install the Ayatola. I'm old enough to

1108
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: remember that. You may remember the hostage situation. They've been

1109
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: a thrown on our side for a long time. Look,

1110
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: in a short period of time, Donald Trump's been sworn in.

1111
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: Now it looks like Iran is on the brink of

1112
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: absolute and total collapse. And Donald's made threats. He said, well,

1113
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: Iranas starting to cross US red lines. The civilian deaths

1114
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: widely reported for one hundred and ninety six protesters have

1115
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: been killed. At least as of the most recent reporting yesterday,

1116
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: thousands arrested. Ten six hundred people arrested as they try

1117
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: to crack down on the ever growing anti administration Iranian

1118
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:22,479
Speaker 1: ruthless dictatorship. So the Ietola may pull out and leave

1119
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: so effectively. I don't think Cuba represented much of an

1120
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: existential threat to the United States, but that one looks

1121
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: like it's in a state of collapse. Venezuela is already there. Iran,

1122
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: what three down and two to go? I would say

1123
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: that you know you can boil all this down and

1124
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: make a good argument that Trump's foreign policy is bearing

1125
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: fruit six forty five. Feel free to chime in and

1126
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: dissent or agree. I'd love to hear from the station

1127
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: here a fifty five krose the talk station and time

1128
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: of swishing everyone a very happy Monday, trying to make

1129
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: it so, and feel free to give me a call

1130
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: if you can. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty

1131
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: five hundred and eight hundred and eighty two to three

1132
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: Talk Top five fifty on AT and T phones. Christopher

1133
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: Smithman joined the program in seven to twenty. Probably get

1134
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: a reaction from him on Signal ninety nine's conversation on

1135
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 1: the Morning show this past Friday. Again, I think more

1136
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: hits on that one from a podcast than any other

1137
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: before it. Joe struck her overwhelmed by the number of

1138
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: responses he received while I was talking with her in

1139
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: the studio, and of course more podcasts downloaded on that

1140
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: interview than any other at least in the period of time.

1141
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: So thanks to her for joining the program and welcome

1142
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: to the Morning Show. Perhaps the new listeners have decided

1143
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: to tune into this show as a consequence of her

1144
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: being on the show. She will be back again, but

1145
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: not on a regular basis. We had that car Joe

1146
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: had that conversation with her. She's not going to be

1147
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: capable given her current situation, health and otherwise, but certainly

1148
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 1: expressed a willingness to join the show and the things

1149
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: that she revealed on Friday, that type of issue, the

1150
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: behind the scenes settlement negotiation. Yeah, she'll come back on

1151
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: to talk about things like that, and an open invitation

1152
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: for you to give her a call if you're involved

1153
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: in city government or government generally, if you have the

1154
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: inside information, we'd like to get it out. If you

1155
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: want to be a sort of a whistleblower along the

1156
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: lines of Signal ninety nine. She needs her information from somebody,

1157
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: She'll take your call. She said it here on the

1158
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: Morning Show. Anyhow, what else is going on?

1159
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 7: You know?

1160
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: It really irks me. We've got a lot of Republicans

1161
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: have defied Trump's goal and joined with Democrats. Remember the

1162
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: reason we had the government shut down? Right, the extension

1163
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: of the Affordable Care Act subsidies red flag. Guess what

1164
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: the subsidies will expire in December of twenty five. We've

1165
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: known this for several years, the subsidies put in place

1166
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: because of COVID nineteen. How did the world operate under

1167
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Obamacare prior to the subsidies going in place. I don't remember.

1168
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: What were you doing before they showed up? All gonna die? No,

1169
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: But once you put subsidies in place, even for people

1170
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: who make some really handsome salaries, they get used to

1171
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: that and they forgot about what life was like before

1172
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: the big government program and the handout showed up. The

1173
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: handouts which masks the true cost of medical care, which

1174
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: is the problem. The premium reflects the cost of the

1175
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: medical care, and if the cost of medical care goes up,

1176
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: the premiums are gonna go up. Do I need to

1177
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: go over an economic lesson?

1178
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 2: Again? How simple?

1179
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: This is insurance companies pay claims. You got a high

1180
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: claims exposure, either because a whole bunch of people should

1181
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, make their file claims, or for medical coverage

1182
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: or and or the cost of the medical care goes up. Hey,

1183
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 1: we're running out of dollars. We don't have enough cash

1184
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: on hand to cover the claims. I guess we're gonna

1185
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: have to raise premiums. Right, So the root cause of

1186
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: this is the underlying medical claims themselves. How come they

1187
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: haven't come up with a solution. Well, you know, going

1188
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: back to political divisions in the reality, Democrats, being the

1189
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: social they are, want everyone to have quote unquote free

1190
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: medical care in like a Medicaid program for everyone. There

1191
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: will be going back to the getting rid of the

1192
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: idea of private home ownership. There will be no private insurance.

1193
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: You'll get what we hand you. That's what their goal is.

1194
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 1: That's why they don't want to fix the medical health

1195
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 1: care problem. What's a cost which is a well, it's

1196
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: a reality of the cost of the medical care underlying it.

1197
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Why is it so expensive? What does it cost you

1198
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of dollars a show? An emergency room

1199
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: at a hospital can we fix that underlying problem. How

1200
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: about just getting rid of pharmacy benefit magic managers. Now,

1201
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: if you know how those work, you know it's a

1202
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: stupid middleman that is costing you and I a ton

1203
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: of money in terms of our pharmaceutical expenses. There's an

1204
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: easy fix. They won't do that. I don't know why,

1205
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: but you've got at least three Republicans from the Ohio

1206
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: here in Ohio among these seventeen Republicans that bucked the

1207
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: trend about extending and decided they were voting to extend

1208
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: these healthcare subsidies. Why would that be? Republican US Representative

1209
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Dave Joyce from Ohio's fourteenth All we're doing is kicking

1210
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: a failed system down the road for a little bit longer.

1211
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 1: But we can't punish the people at home just because

1212
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: the people in DC can't come up with a decision

1213
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: to fix the problem. So reward your own failures. I

1214
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: go back to the fact that we've known these things

1215
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: we're going to expire for years now. You didn't do

1216
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 1: anything to fix the system for several years. Hey, what

1217
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: are we gonna do when the Obamacare subsidies expire? People

1218
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 1: get used to those they're gonna be angry. They're gonna

1219
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: feel like they've got something taken away from them when

1220
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: it was only supposed to be a temporary measure to

1221
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: get them through COVID nineteen oh we forgot about that.

1222
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Like every government program, once it's in place, you can't

1223
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: take it away from Ohio Republican US Representative Max Miller

1224
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: from the seventh and Mike Carey from the fifteenth also

1225
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: broke ranks. Carrie quote, the partisan Obamacare system as it

1226
01:03:55,280 --> 01:04:02,040
Speaker 1: exists has raised costs for everyone. But I want to

1227
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: give a hiouans certainty as we can work to unravel

1228
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: the higher cost Americans face from the failed policies of

1229
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: the past, failed policies that have been going on since

1230
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: these subsidies went in place, Sir, failed policies that nobody's

1231
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: acted out of the past several years, in spite of

1232
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: the time that was bought to cover up the failure

1233
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: of Obamacare via subsidies. Maybe we should get ahead of

1234
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: that now, Max Miller, Obamacare has failed, but pulling the

1235
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: rug out from under Ohio families without an alternative would

1236
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: be irresponsible. Where's that alternative that you had so long

1237
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: to put in place. I'm just asking for a friend.

1257
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: coming up at seven twenty. Uh, gonna be talking about

1258
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what, because Christopher has his own agenda.

1259
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: But Alex Dravinsky, he goes on trial today charges a

1260
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct. He's that poor man and got beaten twenty

1261
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: five or six times in the quote unquote brawl in

1262
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati, that one that Holly got punched in the

1263
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: face on. She's the one that stopped the punch with

1264
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: her face. But he's going on TRU for disorderly conduct today,

1265
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: and I thought a rather interesting that chief, any the

1266
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: interim police chief is going to be called by both

1267
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: the plan or the prosecution and defense. He's the one

1268
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: that was ordered to issue the citation to Alex Dravinski

1269
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: since the officers that were there didn't think there was

1270
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: anything to charge him with. Did politics creep into that equation?

1271
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: One might think so. After Signal ninety nine's revelations on

1272
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: the program this past Friday, Yeah, that may have happened.

1273
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Maybe Christopher knows something about that. Anyway, a lot to

1274
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: talk about with Christopher coming up. Thank you Jay for

1275
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,439
Speaker 1: holding over the breake there. Welcome to the morning showing

1276
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: a Happy Monday to you, my friend.

1277
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 12: Hey, happy Monday, Brian. To let me start off, as

1278
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 12: we used to say on your Rushling Boss show, Mega

1279
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 12: Dittos on the Signal ninety nine interview, that was fantastic man,

1280
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 12: I was blown away.

1281
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 1: I really was. I mean, people could tell how excited

1282
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: it was to talk with her, but just what she revealed,

1283
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: I just I was beside myself almost with disbelief that

1284
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: we are talking about since a council generally speaking. So yeah,

1285
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: there's uh, those claims, you know, sort of didn't surprise me.

1286
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: And that's sad.

1287
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1288
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 12: Well, and and a quick reminded me of the listeners.

1289
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 12: I heard it on the on the on your broadcast,

1290
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 12: give send go. You can buy her, buy her a

1291
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 12: cup of coffee, and help her out with whatever she's doing.

1292
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 12: And that's that's maybe a campaign we could start, as

1293
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 12: you know, five bucks three bucks every if every one

1294
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 12: of us gets on gifts give send go dot com

1295
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 12: in the search bar. I did it this morning. Just

1296
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 12: type in signal and you'll come up. It's a it's

1297
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 12: a weight. It's an on site online way to help

1298
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 12: people that need help. And I would encourage all the

1299
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 12: listeners get on here and every day, let's buy a

1300
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 12: cup of coffee a few of us five bucks at minimum.

1301
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought it up. She did not want

1302
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: to talk about her own personal trials and tribulations, some

1303
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: of which were a consequence of her reporting on the

1304
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: signal ninety nine page. In other words, she lost her

1305
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: job because it had nothing to do with her her

1306
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: ability to do and perform her job, but she did

1307
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 1: lose it as a consequence of her being such a

1308
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 1: predominant figure or a prominent figure on social media. But

1309
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: she also has some significant health issues, and I think

1310
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: that's generally or at least exacerbates her financial issues. So

1311
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: she did not want to go into that, but I

1312
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: knew about it, and of course you know about the

1313
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: site where people can help her, So if you choose

1314
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: to do that, it would be a very nice thing.

1315
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Jake, you have another comment, Yeah, well, in.

1316
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 12: The power of prayer for her and you before I

1317
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 12: get in my final comment. But the reason I'm calling

1318
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 12: is I was shocked and disappointed to see on Breitbart

1319
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 12: that our Senator Bernie Marino, Rock rib Conservative is teamed

1320
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 12: up with Olympia Snow from Maine Rhino, and he's leading

1321
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,759
Speaker 12: the charge on trying to figure out a bipartisan agreement

1322
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 12: now for extending the Obamacare subsidies for two more years. Yep,

1323
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 12: and with really strict I mean they're saying year one

1324
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 12: we're going to cap this thing at two hundred thousand

1325
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 12: dollars a year. Two hundred and grand a year is

1326
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 12: their cap, and that's conservative. And then and then it

1327
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 12: was also you got to pay a twenty five dollars

1328
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 12: a month minimum. Yeah, for a premium. Yeah, this is nothing.

1329
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: No, I guess real quick. I'm not I know where

1330
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 1: you're going on this, And that's fine. The original subsidies

1331
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 1: were capped at what sixty two thousand dollars roughly. That

1332
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 1: was before the COVID era subsidies kicked in, which a

1333
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 1: lot of people making several hundred thousand dollars a year

1334
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: to get some substies, I mean significant six figure incomes. Now,

1335
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: Bernie's point is, well, we can cap that. It's going

1336
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,519
Speaker 1: to be more than the sixty one or sixty two thousand,

1337
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: but we'll cap it at two hundred. So people making

1338
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: two hundred and one thousand dollars a year can't cut one.

1339
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 2: So fine.

1340
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: I don't know where that cap comes from. It sounds

1341
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 1: rather arbitrary, and it does sound like a pretty darn

1342
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: good salary to make a year to get a government

1343
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 1: subsidy designed primarily to help those that are truly struggling financially.

1344
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: But moving away from that, the point of mandating that

1345
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 1: everyone makes some nominal payment is an effort to deal

1346
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: with fraud because it requires you to have a connection

1347
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: with the program. So if you're having to pay a premium,

1348
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: as nominal as it may be, apparently that is one

1349
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: mechanism to get rid of some of the fraud that

1350
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: exists in Obamacare, and like all the government programs, apparently

1351
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of fraud. That does not solve

1352
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: the underlying problem though, does it? Jay, which is outrageous

1353
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: expensive medical care.

1354
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,920
Speaker 13: I think capital is also you know well, and also

1355
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 13: twenty thirteen, when Obamacare came out, the federal government told

1356
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 13: the states that you lower the bar and take this

1357
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 13: medicaid extension.

1358
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 12: We'll pay for it for three years. My mask says

1359
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 12: that should have ended in twenty sixteen. This is twenty

1360
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 12: twenty six Burni Marino, And again, are the Republicans the

1361
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 12: supermajority or not? How common always feels like when Democrats

1362
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 12: are in power, they get everything they want. When Republicans

1363
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 12: are in power, they get seventy five percent of what

1364
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 12: they want. Well, government like the Republicans are in power

1365
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 12: Bernie Marino, you don't need to partner up with the

1366
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 12: Democrats or Olympia snow kill this thing.

1367
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 8: Right.

1368
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 12: However, I don't want it reformed. I don't want to

1369
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 12: replace kill it.

1370
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,759
Speaker 1: I understand where you're coming from. Like all big government programs,

1371
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 1: I feel the same way beyond Obamacare. But here's the

1372
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: political reality, which I know you know, as we approach November,

1373
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 1: everybody's worried about the Democrats taken back over the House

1374
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: and maybe Senate. They need arguments to Democrats do to

1375
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: get people to vote for them. This is their number

1376
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: one thing. This along with protesting ice agents and are

1377
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 1: protesting the deportation of illegal immigrants. How that gives them

1378
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: any traction, I don't know. But this one's going to impact,

1379
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: you know, a decent number of people. They're not going

1380
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: to get their subsidy anymore, and it's going to be

1381
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: a great political fodder for them, the Democrats, to use

1382
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: against Republicans. So the idea is, well, let's just kick

1383
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 1: the can yet again down the road, and we'll come

1384
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: up with some measures to stick in there as well

1385
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,600
Speaker 1: as a lower cap or maybe a mandated premium or

1386
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: something else. We'll get a little bit in return for

1387
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 1: extending them, but we'll knock the wind out of their

1388
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: sales before November, so they can't make the argument that

1389
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: the evil Republicans wouldn't extend the tax credits. Sounds like

1390
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: a win for the Democrats to me, Jay.

1391
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 12: And then and we continue to slide to the left.

1392
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 12: And this is the same argument that we've heard. I'm

1393
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 12: about your age, maybe a little younger. This is what

1394
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 12: we've heard all of our life. Is well, we can't

1395
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 12: really push it.

1396
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:25,720
Speaker 5: Back to their rest right.

1397
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 12: We just have to slow down to slide to the left.

1398
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 12: That way we can stay in power and win. You're

1399
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,639
Speaker 12: not winning if you can't kill Obamacare after all these years.

1400
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 12: Barack Obama is clinking champagne glasses somewhere. It's saying, I

1401
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:42,799
Speaker 12: can't believe it's still around after you know, all this time,

1402
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 12: and he's all the time that Republicans have been in power.

1403
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 12: They still can't get rid of it because they don't

1404
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 12: have the managerial courage. Bernie Marino and Republican Party central

1405
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 12: planning is there, all the shadow people, this is yours,

1406
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 12: well in your time to either stand up and fight

1407
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 12: or go away, and we'll go get better candidates to

1408
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 12: know how to get stuff done and really don't care

1409
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:06,879
Speaker 12: about having to have be a reelection.

1410
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: Okay, going back to my criticism. You knew the tax

1411
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 1: credits were going to expire for years after they were

1412
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: first put in. Then they had the deadline date. The

1413
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: Democrats knew about it. We all knew about it. Nothing

1414
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: was done between the moment the extension was made and

1415
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 1: this moment in time. And I know I was critical

1416
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: about Republicans. Where were the strategies to deal with this?

1417
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: How come you didn't get ahead of it? How come

1418
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: you didn't fix the system before we had to deal

1419
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,799
Speaker 1: with this highly charged political issue. Well, Biden was president,

1420
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 1: Democrats had a very sizable chunk of the House. You

1421
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:36,799
Speaker 1: can't pass anything, and that situation exists today. Bernie Mourno

1422
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: in or out, you got the same Charlie Foxtrot reality.

1423
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: The Democrats won't agree with anything the Republicans want to

1424
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,799
Speaker 1: do by way of reform because anything moving toward reform

1425
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: ends their pipe dream of Medicaid for all, which is

1426
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: ultimately what Obamacare was supposed to be. So they're not

1427
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: going to budge on that. They liked the fact that

1428
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: it's collapsing and it's a real issue for Americans.

1429
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 12: They could have planned Brian I had all those years

1430
01:13:58,320 --> 01:13:59,600
Speaker 12: of Biden. Didn't it think that they were going to

1431
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 12: be able to Biden? They had four years to put

1432
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 12: together a plan.

1433
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 1: They did beat him. Donald Trump won a twenty twenty

1434
01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: four We got the House, and we got it.

1435
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 12: They and they walk into the plane.

1436
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 1: Hey day. The numbers still don't add up. They could

1437
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: do they could every single Republican could uniformly embrace just

1438
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: make up one set of goals that would fix the problem.

1439
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: Or theoretically they came up with a set of goals

1440
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: that would fix the problem. They passed it in the House,

1441
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: they passed it into the Senate if they could. They

1442
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 1: don't have sixty votes in the Senate, right, how can

1443
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:30,799
Speaker 1: you get it passed in the Senate?

1444
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 2: You can't?

1445
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: So you know, I I is it an exercise worth

1446
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,760
Speaker 1: going through? Absolutely? Can we use some ideas on how

1447
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 1: to fix the real problem, which is the expensive of

1448
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: medical bills? Yes, I guess we could come up with something.

1449
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: But if the Democrats are locked up against it, you

1450
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:47,799
Speaker 1: get a sixty vote threshold on the Senate, you're screwed.

1451
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 1: Should you go down the road and do it. Yeah,

1452
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 1: but you do it just to serve as an illustration

1453
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 1: of why the Democrats are obstructionists and won't let their

1454
01:14:56,080 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: pet project Obamacare get fixed. In other words, its repealed.

1455
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 12: Augreed, and we smoke out the Rhinos when we do

1456
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 12: that too.

1457
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 5: And that's my point.

1458
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 12: Is it least step up to the beach, to the

1459
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 12: plate and swing Burnie Marino instead of capitulating, its surrendering.

1460
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 12: This is yet another Republican victory, which is a Democrat win.

1461
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 12: They don't get everything. We're in control of everything, but

1462
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 12: they only got seventy five percent of what they wanted.

1463
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 14: Re elect me.

1464
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 8: I think not.

1465
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 6: I'm tired of saying that.

1466
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 12: I'm sure you are too over our lifetimes.

1467
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: I get where you're coming from, and it is frustrated.

1468
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:30,759
Speaker 12: Don't vote, don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat.

1469
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 5: Have a good one, brother, Appreciate what you do.

1470
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: Thanks Jay, You take care man. Christopher Smitheman up next.

1471
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: How about you're looking for a really truly world class

1472
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: smiles just in his offices past Friday.

1473
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 2: Fifty five K the talk station on Monday.

1474
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: Always look forward at this moment in time, get to

1475
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: hear from the former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati,

1476
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: Christopher Smitheman, who's still has still heavily active and engaged

1477
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: in matters political, especially with downtown Cincinnati. Wow, Christopher Smithman,

1478
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Morning show, my friend. What a

1479
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: real eye opener on Friday with the information from Signal

1480
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: ninety nine and FOP President Ken kober.

1481
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,879
Speaker 4: Well. I listened to the whole show. It was very powerful,

1482
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 4: and I thank people like her. You know, she doesn't

1483
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 4: have to do that, she doesn't have to spend her

1484
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 4: time doing it, and she's giving accurate information out and

1485
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 4: it's why the inquirer outed her. You know, you know

1486
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 4: who is this writing this? We demand to know. They

1487
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 4: don't do that for anybody. It's because of the fear

1488
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:36,719
Speaker 4: of the factual information that she was putting out. So yes,

1489
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 4: I enjoyed her immensely. Of course, I always enjoy the

1490
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 4: president of the FOP, and I hope that she will

1491
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 4: continue to come on and continue to provide, you know,

1492
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 4: the information that she has. You know, I want to

1493
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:56,719
Speaker 4: piggyback off that interview on Friday to talk about today,

1494
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,600
Speaker 4: and so as counsel goes, it makes the decision of

1495
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 4: whether they're going to go into executive session. Every member

1496
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 4: of council should vote. Know, Brian Thomas, this is going

1497
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 4: to have me fired up next Monday.

1498
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: Okay, now hold on that roll call, vote yes real quick.

1499
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 2: Now.

1500
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 1: One of the big burning questions in my mind in

1501
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: Sign ninety nine and can cover certainly didn't know the

1502
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: answer to this, and I'm wondering whether you know. Does

1503
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: the city manager, Cheryl Long have the authority to enter

1504
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: into settlement negotiations? Does she have the authority to bind

1505
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: the city into a settlement agreement to the extent she

1506
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: comes up with?

1507
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 2: One?

1508
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: City council have any say in matters that involve money

1509
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 1: in the city taxpayers, the allocation of city taxpayers dollars? Christopher,

1510
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Can she even do this?

1511
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 4: Law? The law department can, And because the law department

1512
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 4: is its own entity, right, the legal team can. Now,

1513
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 4: there are situations, and this is one of them where

1514
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 4: council should intervene and say yes or no. But I'm

1515
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 4: letting you know the law the law departments in most cities,

1516
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 4: but the law a department here has a lot of

1517
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 4: power to negotiate things and say yes or no to them.

1518
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 4: And she's the city manager and the city solicitor reports

1519
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 4: to the city manager. Now having said all that, Brian, look,

1520
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 4: they don't have to go into executive session. So that's

1521
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 4: a role called votes. And so all the accolades to

1522
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 4: any council member about how they feel about this, will

1523
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 4: know it today if they say, we're going to hide

1524
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 4: this discussion from Brian Thomas, from Signal ninety nine, from

1525
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 4: Christopher samite Men and others.

1526
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: And that's what executive session means. I've heard no reporters

1527
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: know that that council members can't even take notes during

1528
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: those executive sessions.

1529
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 4: Does that make sense to you?

1530
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:58,519
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't make any sense to me. And why

1531
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 1: would they put such a highly charge thing behind closed

1532
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 1: doors when we just it was only revealed because of

1533
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: whistleblowers like Signal ninety nine and whoever talked with her,

1534
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 1: that there was even a settlement discussion going on. It

1535
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: sounds to me like counsel wouldn't even have known about

1536
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:12,600
Speaker 1: it but for the whistleblowers.

1537
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 4: That is absolutely true. And remember the city manager came

1538
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 4: out and said, what this wasn't true?

1539
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 2: Well, they refuted.

1540
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 4: What Signal ninety nine would say, and I think they're

1541
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 4: going to have to back away from that, because if

1542
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 4: they go into executive session, it means that what Signal

1543
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 4: ninety nine communicated to the public was actually true and

1544
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 4: the city manager wasn't being truthful.

1545
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: They did not deny when you read the words from

1546
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: the city manager, when you read the words from the

1547
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Hinton attorney, none of them denied that discussions were ongoing.

1548
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: They just describe it differently, this massive settlement, you know,

1549
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: the hinting lawyers. So I don't know anything about any massive,

1550
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 1: multimillion dollar settlement, Yes, sir, but do you admit to

1551
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,679
Speaker 1: engaging in settlement discussions with the city manager. My statement

1552
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 1: just stands as it is. I mean, so that's obviously

1553
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: a dodge dip, duck dive and dodge five d's a

1554
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: dodgeball kind of thing. The same thing from the city manager.

1555
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 1: Long she didn't deny that there were settlement discussions.

1556
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 2: She didn't.

1557
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 1: She has denied the characterization of them, which is a

1558
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 1: nonsensical way of trying to dodge the bullet and deny

1559
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:22,679
Speaker 1: when you're really not denying.

1560
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 4: So well then we'll at least call it a white lie.

1561
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's it.

1562
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 4: The But the bottom line here is a Signal ninety

1563
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 4: nine exposed something that was happening. And this is on

1564
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 4: the back of the eight point one million dollars settlement, right,

1565
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,679
Speaker 4: This is on the back of that. So the city

1566
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 4: is saying we're going to raise your taxes, but they're

1567
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 4: engaging in giving money. Now, let's just rewind for the public. Now,

1568
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 4: this is the young man who had a gun in

1569
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 4: a stolen car running for by law enforcement. My absolute

1570
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 4: heart goes out to this family. But that is a

1571
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 4: recipe for an officer, unfortunately, to use deadly force. The

1572
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 4: father then turned around the next day identify the sheriff

1573
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 4: over at UC doing traffic control for their graduation, and

1574
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 4: ran him over with a vehicle. That's the discussion we're

1575
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 4: talking about, right, because my heart goes out to that

1576
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:26,759
Speaker 4: family today. For this council to go into executive session

1577
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 4: is a smack in the face of all law enforcement

1578
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 4: across the United States of America period. We deserve to

1579
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:39,959
Speaker 4: know what they're talking about, because we have a sheriff

1580
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:44,759
Speaker 4: and a family still grieving because his father ran him over.

1581
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 4: He had nothing to do with it. Brian Thoms, and

1582
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 4: that is what is so frustrating to me.

1583
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 1: Well, another component of the frustration, you know, moving aside

1584
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 1: from the tragedy that befell the sheriff's family, the sheriff's

1585
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: deputy family, it's the city taxpayer who's going to be

1586
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: on the hook for an increase in their earnings tax

1587
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 1: why in an interest of public safety? This seems to

1588
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: be you know, steeped in public safety related issues. And uh,

1589
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: maybe one more place that the city tax dollars are

1590
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: going to be spent settling a lawsuit that never he

1591
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 1: has even been filed for an action that didn't even

1592
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: justify prosecution. See Connie Pilach about that one. We'll bring

1593
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: Christopher Smitheman back at seven twenty seven right now fifty

1594
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: five Kercity Talk station. Let me speaking of shooting. I mean,

1595
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: that's seven thirty on a Monday, and a happy one

1596
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: to you. Brian Thomas with Christopher smith Aman we do

1597
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 1: every Monday that Smither events what I like to call it,

1598
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,679
Speaker 1: former Vice Mayor of the City of Cincinnati, just giving

1599
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: you an opportunity to get out of your system here

1600
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: in the morning show. Christopher and I love it.

1601
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 10: Well.

1602
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 4: Listen, brother, we have a culture of no accountability, a

1603
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 4: culture of no common sense in America, and I'm going

1604
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 4: to tie. First of all, I love all the local

1605
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:55,600
Speaker 4: news you're covering. I turn on your show and I

1606
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 4: encourage anybody listening. You know, Brian comes on at five am,

1607
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 4: and he goes off at nine am, and we get

1608
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 4: a breath of information about what is going on in

1609
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:07,519
Speaker 4: our city. But let me let me say this to you, brother,

1610
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 4: that what I'm seeing nationally like ice and I stem

1611
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 4: my condolences to Renee Good, that's the woman who is

1612
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 4: shot in the head at Minneapolis. But here again, it's

1613
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 4: a recipe, just like I spoke about the recipe for

1614
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 4: the young man, mister Hinton, the recipe of trying to

1615
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 4: run down an ice officer with your vehicle. Okay, And

1616
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 4: the context of this is it's been happening all over

1617
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,599
Speaker 4: the country. Ice officers don't know anymore. You're boxing them in.

1618
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:44,719
Speaker 4: You boxing a federal agent, a police officer, an FBI agent,

1619
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:50,240
Speaker 4: a DEA agent. Expect that agent to assume that you

1620
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 4: are there to harm them. Brian Thomas, I don't know

1621
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 4: what in the world is going on all these videos

1622
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 4: that I'm seeing out here on x with with these

1623
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 4: with these people across off the country who think they

1624
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 4: can follow an agent. They can block the agent in,

1625
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 4: They can get in front of their vehicle and stop them.

1626
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 4: They can in the middle of an arrest, they can

1627
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 4: pull the officer. You can't arrest them. You can't do

1628
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,679
Speaker 4: what you're doing. Look this, you, You and I knew

1629
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 4: and anybody listening with any common sense knew that one

1630
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 4: day this was going to end up in a deadly

1631
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:27,720
Speaker 4: forced situation. Right. The reality of it is is that

1632
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 4: person I'm talking about, Renee Good, was blocking the road

1633
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 4: with her car. They don't even talk about that. She

1634
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,759
Speaker 4: pulled out in the road and was blocking the federal

1635
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 4: officer in their vehicle. They got out of their car

1636
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 4: and said move your car, kady, you can't block the road.

1637
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, interference with an officer performing his duties and enforcing

1638
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,799
Speaker 1: the law. Interfering with that is in and of itself

1639
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: criminal activity. You can be cited for that. I mean,

1640
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: that's probably why they were screaming on her to get

1641
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: out of the car, because she had already committed the

1642
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 1: crime of interfering with lawful law enforcement officers. So period

1643
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: end of the story, you don't listen of the police officers,

1644
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:04,759
Speaker 1: he might get shot. I mean, And to the fact

1645
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: that she got shot the left was waiting for that Christopher,

1646
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, damn well, they wanted a martyr out of

1647
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 1: all this, and much like George Floyd, maybe he got

1648
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: the wrong one, considering there's so much video evidence of

1649
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 1: her literally hitting the police officer. Whether you think deadly

1650
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 1: force was justified, it was legitimate under the circumstances, because

1651
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 1: the man reasonably felt for his or thought his life

1652
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,280
Speaker 1: was in peril. He'd already been through this once someone

1653
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: drugg him theim three hundred feet or so down the

1654
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: road in a car previously while he was trying to

1655
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 1: enforce the law. So you know he's on high alert

1656
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 1: for his life being in peril, and that may have

1657
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:42,519
Speaker 1: prompted him to use a firearm. But it's interference with

1658
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: law enforcement. They just believe they can get away with

1659
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: whatever they want. They've got this high moral authority, and

1660
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: then you're belief that it's some high moral authority does

1661
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: not trump the law.

1662
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,600
Speaker 4: Why do I have to, as a peace officer, be

1663
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 4: drugged down the street before I use deadly force? I mean,

1664
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 4: is what are we thinking? You You bring your car

1665
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 4: to a gunfight, right, expect to be shot. That is

1666
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 4: a weapon. You cannot run me down in the roads

1667
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 4: and the The other part of it is what is

1668
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 4: going on in our mindset in American culture that all

1669
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 4: of us have been watching on TV. If you're watching

1670
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 4: independent news stations, you're watching these protesters constantly do this.

1671
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:33,800
Speaker 4: And the reason I'm bringing it up is is directly

1672
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 4: tied to the culture of the settlement that city council

1673
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 4: is talking about on today, meaning meaning meaning there's no

1674
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 4: accountability here again. They're about to literally trash all law

1675
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 4: enforcement by saying that in some way we owe Hinton

1676
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 4: some money. We didn't give a point one million dollars

1677
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 4: away to protesters in downtown, for these are taxpayer, not

1678
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 4: their money, our money. We're gonna go away. We're gonna

1679
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 4: give that eight We're gonna give eight point one million

1680
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 4: dollars away with them. And on the same time, we

1681
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,839
Speaker 4: see this national stuff happening with no accountability. Brian Thomas,

1682
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 4: guess what our mayor says, We're gonna We're gonna increase taxes.

1683
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 4: I don't want to pay for this crap. I don't

1684
01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 4: want any money. I work incredibly hard as a small

1685
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 4: business owner to do what I do. I don't want

1686
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 4: to give the city any more of my money. I

1687
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,799
Speaker 4: am tired of them, and that is what is happening.

1688
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 4: People are deciding I want to leave the city of Cincinnati.

1689
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna move my business, I'm gonna move my house.

1690
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 4: I don't want to be a part of this because

1691
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 4: they continue to do craziness like this. This, the hint

1692
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 4: In's craziness is absolutely crazy. What we saw was Renee

1693
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 4: Good and guess what there will be a lawsuit related

1694
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 4: to Renee Good. Yeah, somebody's gonna sue the federal government

1695
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 4: and you and I. There are a lot of different

1696
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 4: camera angles on this. Those who want to know, there's

1697
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 4: a camera camera ankle that clearly shows the officer in

1698
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 4: the front of the vehicle being struck. Now, you can

1699
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:10,639
Speaker 4: make up and show whatever video you want out there, right,

1700
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:12,879
Speaker 4: but the reality of it is there was an officer

1701
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 4: in the front who was struck, who had his weapon

1702
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:19,439
Speaker 4: and discharged it, and that officer, that ice officer is

1703
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 4: going to absolutely be cleared, period. But you're still going

1704
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 4: to see the family turn around and sue the federal government,

1705
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 4: just like the Hintons, just like the eight point one

1706
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 4: million dollars settlement, We're going to continue to see this

1707
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 4: lack of accountability and common sense in our culture.

1708
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,640
Speaker 1: Brand Thomas, Yes, we will well, at least under the

1709
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:43,559
Speaker 1: Trump administration Justice Apartment, probably unlikely to settle or enter

1710
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 1: into a quick settlement agreement with the family with a

1711
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 1: good family. Let's bring Christopher back for one more seven

1712
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 1: thirty seven right now. If you have krsee the talk

1713
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: station we mentioned plumb tye plumbing, which is plumbing done right.

1714
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,320
Speaker 1: They know you deserve better a plumb tight A plus

1715
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: the BBB like forty one to fifty five cars city

1716
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 1: talk stations. Rye Thomas with Christopher Smith and doing the

1717
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 1: Smith events at Christopher. I know it was baked into

1718
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 1: the cake of what you were saying with regard to

1719
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: the local issues we have in the city of Cincinnati

1720
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 1: on crime, this whole hint and settlement thing that's going

1721
01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 1: to be talked about today, as well as the overlapping

1722
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota issues and the shooting of that is

1723
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 1: goodwoman who was interfering with officers doing their their proper

1724
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 1: appropriate law enforcement role. A lot of people are taking

1725
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,600
Speaker 1: the cues from elected officials. What do the mayor up

1726
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 1: there say, get the hell he used a different word

1727
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 1: than hell out of my city Ice. They think they

1728
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 1: have the moral high ground, thinking that saying Ice are

1729
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 1: the modern day Gestapo and their jack boot thugs, and

1730
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, you know, really they're only trying to

1731
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:42,679
Speaker 1: get the worst of the worst out of our country.

1732
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 1: But when you've got elected officials and prominent political figures

1733
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:49,920
Speaker 1: egging people on pivoting back over to local Iris Rolli's

1734
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 1: on video interfering with police officers doing their business, And

1735
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:55,600
Speaker 1: according to Signal ninety nine, she was actually at the

1736
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:57,639
Speaker 1: remember when the sheriff's dead, but he got ran over

1737
01:29:57,760 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 1: the other day. You just mentioned that. The day after

1738
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 1: the hinting kid was shot, his father ran over and

1739
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 1: killed a SHARE's deputy. Civil ninety nine said she was

1740
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: on the scenes there telling people witnesses to it not

1741
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 1: to cooperate with police, and ended up being put in

1742
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 1: the back of a police car herself. Wasn't cited. The

1743
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 1: video camera evidence from that incident's apparently locked in a

1744
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: safe to be seen by us down the road, she says.

1745
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 1: But there she is prominent local figure Iris Rowley, very

1746
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:27,839
Speaker 1: politically connected and very prominent in impacting election out comes,

1747
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 1: doing exactly what you and I believe is the wrong thing.

1748
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 1: Putting officers lives in jeopardy as well as their own life.

1749
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 4: First, I agree with you and the judge in the

1750
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:43,080
Speaker 4: case should release the video definitely in light of this

1751
01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:46,040
Speaker 4: discussion about a settlement. But of course we won't have

1752
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 4: that transparency, just like we didn't have the transparency and

1753
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 4: the beatdown that happened in the middle of the city

1754
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:57,080
Speaker 4: where the gentleman clearly was punched first, and most Americans

1755
01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 4: don't know that. They still are looking at the old video.

1756
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 4: So this city has a problem with transparency. I e.

1757
01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:07,720
Speaker 4: With Signal ninety nine was sharing with us is executive

1758
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 4: session today. I want to share two quick points with

1759
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 4: you before we get off. I was at my daughter's

1760
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:16,479
Speaker 4: swim meeting. I know you were a swimmer, and it

1761
01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:19,120
Speaker 4: was at Princeton High School. Thanked them for hosting. Seaton

1762
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 4: has a phenomenal team, and my hat goes out to

1763
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 4: coach Jody Schaeffer. But I was sitting there watching the

1764
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 4: five hundred being swim by all of the different girls.

1765
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 4: The difference between first and second place was less than

1766
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:35,639
Speaker 4: a second most of the time. Oh yeah, right, very

1767
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 4: very close. Look did you hear Brian Thomas here? Listen?

1768
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:42,759
Speaker 4: Hoddie this is a swimmer. I couldn't imagine a dude

1769
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 4: in that pool swimming against my daughter. This again goes

1770
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 4: back to the lack of accountability and common sense that's

1771
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:53,920
Speaker 4: coming from the Democratic Party. And that's why so many

1772
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 4: Democrats are saying, I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The

1773
01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 4: Democratic Party left me. I couldn't I agin a dude

1774
01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 4: swimming in that pool a seat and swim meet against

1775
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,679
Speaker 4: any of those girls as where they're cheering and they're

1776
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:10,799
Speaker 4: trying to get scholarships to go to college. It doesn't

1777
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 4: make any sense, Brian Thomas, and this is what is

1778
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:17,839
Speaker 4: wrong right now in the Democratic Party. And I'm trying

1779
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 4: this directly to the governor's race, where we see David

1780
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:25,679
Speaker 4: Pepper now is the running mate for Amy Acting. Look,

1781
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:28,120
Speaker 4: let me share it be really clear. I'm on the

1782
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 4: other side of that. I support the Vekswami and I

1783
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 4: have supported him almost from day one. That gubernatorial race

1784
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 4: is critical because it's the check and balance to all

1785
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:43,480
Speaker 4: these local municipalities around us. If we lose the governor's

1786
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 4: office this year, we in Ohio we are in serious trouble. People.

1787
01:32:49,400 --> 01:32:52,040
Speaker 4: You cannot stay home from that election like you just

1788
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:56,200
Speaker 4: did in this local election. We need every single body,

1789
01:32:56,479 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 4: every eighteen year old register to vote, making sure you're

1790
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,960
Speaker 4: address matches the Board of Elections, and we need everybody

1791
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:07,559
Speaker 4: at the polls rocking it because the other side, when

1792
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 4: you're watching these videos Brian Thomas of people obstructing ice officers,

1793
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 4: obstructing police officers, right, all of these settlements that you're

1794
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 4: seeing coming out of these liberal cities. If we don't

1795
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 4: have a check and balance in that governor's office, shame

1796
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:26,479
Speaker 4: on us. This is a very important race. And I

1797
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 4: have been shocked by mister Pepper and all of his

1798
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:34,040
Speaker 4: tweets over the weekend trying to shame Vivek Ramaswami for

1799
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 4: being financially successful. He's a billionaire. I get it, I

1800
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:42,120
Speaker 4: understand it. He's self made. But David Pepper got his

1801
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:45,680
Speaker 4: money from his family. He's a trust fund baby. And

1802
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 4: I'm sitting there going would I want to trust fund

1803
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:51,800
Speaker 4: baby in the governor Gubernatorio or the Governor's office? Or

1804
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:55,680
Speaker 4: do I want a self made billionaire who knows how

1805
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 4: to make money run budgets? Pull this dog on Ohio,

1806
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:03,080
Speaker 4: this great state into the twenty first century. Whether it's education,

1807
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 4: whether it's economics, whether it's jobs, whether it's housing, you

1808
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:11,080
Speaker 4: name it. We need a fresh set of eyes on Ohio.

1809
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 4: And Brian, I am really worried about this race, that

1810
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 4: people are getting lost in the sawce. There is no

1811
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 4: way when she picked the two of them together, to me,

1812
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:22,800
Speaker 4: are like, I got one who locked us all down right,

1813
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 4: and I've got the other one here who doesn't know

1814
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 4: anything about business, that's just been handed with a silver spoof,

1815
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,400
Speaker 4: and we want to turn over the entire state of

1816
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 4: Ohisle to them. This makes absolutely no sense, Brian Thomas.

1817
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, whether it's Leah Dinkin Locker who's

1818
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,799
Speaker 4: running for the judgeship, we're always talking about the judges

1819
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:44,960
Speaker 4: and we're worried about people being let out where you

1820
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,080
Speaker 4: better vote for Leah Dinkin Locker. You're worried about Winkler.

1821
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 4: Winkler's running here locally, we better elect him. My point,

1822
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 4: Brian is the penicilin you know it. Elections have consequences.

1823
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 4: We'll see it today with the Executive session and who

1824
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 4: will vote to say no. Executive Session, I'm going to

1825
01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:09,200
Speaker 4: shine a light on hinting and whether we settle the

1826
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 4: case or not. I'm going to have the courage to

1827
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 4: tell the public who will pay the bill, Brian Thomas,

1828
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,559
Speaker 4: We're the ones paying the bill, not them, that they

1829
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:19,599
Speaker 4: get a chance to listen to the dialogue around whether

1830
01:35:19,640 --> 01:35:23,240
Speaker 4: we should give this family any money at all. I

1831
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 4: extend my deepest condolences to this young man and his family,

1832
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 4: but we do not in this city should not be

1833
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:33,000
Speaker 4: giving them any money for a young man who had

1834
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:35,839
Speaker 4: a gun and a stolen car running from an officer

1835
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,639
Speaker 4: and turning that weapon towards that officer, or that officer

1836
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:42,480
Speaker 4: to take the unfortunate decision to take his life. Brian Thomas,

1837
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 4: we are moving in a world here, brother, where it

1838
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 4: is complete insanity. It's not black, it's not white, it's

1839
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 4: not Latino. Brother, it's values and my values to saying

1840
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:56,960
Speaker 4: what is right and wrong. We've got to go back

1856
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:37,880
Speaker 1: who's running for Ohio State Senate seventh District, got the

1857
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,280
Speaker 1: AFP Americans Prosperity endorsement. Donovan and Neil talking about that

1858
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:43,760
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. And of course we know about

1859
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 1: the mayor's proposal to raise income taxes in the city

1860
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:48,439
Speaker 1: of Cincinnat to help deal with, among other things, job

1861
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 1: number one public safety, and had comment about this earlier

1862
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 1: in the program in the five o'clock hour. I would

1863
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 1: love to know, and it's still a moving target, how

1864
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:59,519
Speaker 1: much of the Ohio state resources he is willing to

1865
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:03,719
Speaker 1: accept resources along the lines of law enforcement that were

1866
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 1: offered to the mayor and the city for free from

1867
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 1: Governor to wine big array a sohole slate of services.

1868
01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:13,160
Speaker 1: So what is the what would be the cost of

1869
01:37:13,200 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: those If we had to pay for what we are

1870
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:17,320
Speaker 1: being offered and the city took everything, which we don't

1871
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 1: even know what they're willing to take, what would that

1872
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:23,480
Speaker 1: translate into in terms of the value of the state resources?

1873
01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:25,719
Speaker 1: Imagine it's probably a pretty much. And while we don't

1874
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:28,599
Speaker 1: know what the income tax kick or increase is planning

1875
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: is planned to be, we know that he wants to

1876
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 1: raise it, and that's not a great marketing tool for

1877
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 1: the city of Cincinnati. If you want people to move in,

1878
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,000
Speaker 1: you got a crime problem, then you're going to raise

1879
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 1: income tax. Oh great, No, I didn't want to move

1880
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 1: there first, but now you've made it even less likely

1881
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 1: than I'm going to move there. Well, Todd Zinzer brilliant.

1882

Speaker 1: He is former Inspector General, and boy, couldn't we use

1883
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot more inspectors general out there in the world

1884
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 1: to find out what's being done with the taxpayer dollars.

1885
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:57,799
Speaker 1: He's got to do podcasts out it's the proposed income

1894
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 1: of that man speaking truth to power. But speaking of

1895
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:30,040
Speaker 1: money matters of course. Brian James coming up your retirement number,

1902
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:49,880
Speaker 1: where the hell the railroad money is. How come they're

1903
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 1: not spending it? He says, the city's not spending it

1904
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 1: fast enough. There's another source of revenue. Apparently they're sitting

1905
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 1: on the vast majority of the money that's been earned

1906
01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 1: in that investment account. He used to be on the

1907
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 1: board for the rail road board, so informed he is

1908
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:04,680

1933
01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,200
Speaker 3: make room for some other voices as well. But yeah,

1934
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:17,160
Speaker 3: happy new year to you and everybody out there in

1935
01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:19,040
Speaker 3: the listening world. Here, we kind of thought it would

1936
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 3: be a good year to or a good time at

1937
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 3: the beginning of the year here to just kind of

1938
01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 3: layout what does it look like nowadays with inflation for

1939
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 3: people who are thinking big picture around retirement.

1940
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:31,920
Speaker 1: All right, well, we did see reduced inflation. We're no

1941
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 1: longer at eight percent I guess last year, as you

1942
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 1: point out in your notes, three percent. Not so bad.

1943
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,439
Speaker 1: A little bit higher than I guess the two percent,

1944
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: which is the ideal figure, but not so bad.

1945
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tolerable, right, So so with the Federal Reserve

1946
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:48,719
Speaker 3: would very very much prefer we want to be around

1947
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:51,600
Speaker 3: two percent. That's the goal to get to get the

1948
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 3: interest rates down and inflation down to a level that

1949
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 3: is sustainable over time. We've been stuck at three percent

1950
01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:58,960
Speaker 3: for a long time. But as you point out, we're

1951
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,680
Speaker 3: not at nine percent. I do not have people anymore

1952
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:04,720
Speaker 3: talking about, oh my gosh, we have to change our

1953
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,840
Speaker 3: portfolio drastically because this nine percent inflation rate is going

1954
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:12,120
Speaker 3: to hang around forever. That was transitory. The overall inflation

1955
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:15,600
Speaker 3: was not, as we learned different different from what the

1956
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 3: Biden administration told us for a very long time. Inflation

1957
01:41:18,360 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 3: did hang around, but not at those ridiculous levels.

1958
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:22,920
Speaker 1: Well, as we've had many conversations before, and what you

1959
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 1: can expect on average over the life of your long

1960
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:28,479
Speaker 1: term investments, isn't it like eight percent is really kind

1961
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:29,760
Speaker 1: of where you end up over time.

1962
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 3: Of course, it all depends on how aggressive you're going

1963
01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 3: to be with your investments. I mean, realistically, if you

1964
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,639
Speaker 3: look at the stock market, it's averaged ten percent over

1965
01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:40,880
Speaker 3: thirty years, and these are real numbers they do take

1966
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 3: into account. Of course, you know, the last thirty years

1967
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:45,679
Speaker 3: include some of the scariest years we've ever had, three

1968
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:49,599
Speaker 3: of them in fact, thousand and two, two thousand and eight,

1969
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:52,720
Speaker 3: and twenty twenty two, and as well as some of

1970
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:54,559
Speaker 3: the best years we've ever had. But if you smush

1971
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:56,960
Speaker 3: it all together. The stock market itself has average in

1972
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 3: the neighborhood of ten percent. That doesn't mean you should

1973
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:01,639
Speaker 3: throw all your money in the stock market. That said,

1974
01:42:01,720 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 3: you know, if you have a long term time frame,

1975
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:05,559
Speaker 3: sure that's an okay thing to do, as long as

1976
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 3: you understand the roller coaster. Now, on the other hand,

1977
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 3: what we're really talking about today, if you are in

1978
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:12,240
Speaker 3: a situation where it's time to start drawing on that

1979
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:15,720
Speaker 3: nest egg and hopefully you'll all be there someday, then

1980
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:17,880
Speaker 3: you don't want to ride that roller coaster as much

1981
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,559
Speaker 3: because you'll be sitting in a situation where the market

1982
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 3: may have taken taken ten percent from your portfolio. Plus

1983
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 3: you need to withdraw four maybe five percent to pay

1984
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:28,240
Speaker 3: the bills, and that can dig us into a hole

1985
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 3: that sometimes we can't get out of, frank.

1986
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 1: So, how does one assess that withdraw raid? I note

1987
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:35,840
Speaker 1: that you mentioned four percent That apparently was the rule

1988
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: of thumb. So how do you reassess or currently assess

1989
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:42,519
Speaker 1: that if you're at this place right, So let's go.

1990
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:44,679
Speaker 3: Let's do a little history on that four percent rule

1991
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 3: that came from a study that went from the studied

1992
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 3: thirty year periods, assuming that's kind of the average retirement

1993
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:55,240
Speaker 3: length of time before end of life expectancy, thirty year

1994
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:58,320
Speaker 3: periods starting from the nineteen thirties, so nineteen thirty to

1995
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 3: nineteen sixty, thirty one to sixty one one, thirty two

1996
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:02,719
Speaker 3: to sixty two, and on and on and on all

1997
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 3: through that time period. And the conclusion was, if you

1998
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:09,479
Speaker 3: withdrew four percent of your portfolio and the market did

1999
01:43:09,479 --> 01:43:12,320
Speaker 3: what it did over those thirty year periods, that's historical information.

2000
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,479
Speaker 3: The four percent would never There are no thirty year

2001
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,320
Speaker 3: periods where that four percent would have bankrupted you, even

2002
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 3: in all with all the crazy stuff that happened in

2003
01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:23,280
Speaker 3: those thirty year time periods. So that's where that comes from.

2004
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 3: A lot of people have been hanging their hats on that.

2005
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,599
Speaker 3: It gets attacked every now and then because of inflation

2006
01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:31,360
Speaker 3: concerns or concerns that the stock market is running too hot.

2007
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 3: We're relying too much on history. But it still seems

2008
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 3: to be holding true. You know, some people want to

2009
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 3: come back and say, well, maybe I need to back

2010
01:43:38,240 --> 01:43:40,720
Speaker 3: off to three percent just to be on the safe side. There's,

2011
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:43,680
Speaker 3: of course nothing wrong with that, bearing in mind that

2012
01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:47,480
Speaker 3: lifestyle is lifestyle, and that really does mean true sacrifices

2013
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 3: that you will see, touch and feel in how you

2014
01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 3: live your lives. But at the same time, the whole

2015
01:43:51,920 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 3: point is, let's sit down, most people haven't even figured

2016
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 3: out what the lifestyle is let alone, but the withdrawal

2017
01:43:57,160 --> 01:43:58,559
Speaker 3: rate does to it well.

2018
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:02,200
Speaker 1: And how long is any given person gonna live too,

2019
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 1: because the idea, of course, you want this money to

2020
01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 1: last you through your retirement, and retirement quite often is

2021
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 1: the time when people get hit with, you know, the

2022
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 1: biggest medical bills, the biggest complications, the problems. You don't

2023
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 1: have any money coming in the door, and how many

2024
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:15,880
Speaker 1: years am I going to be around on this planet

2025
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:18,719
Speaker 1: to need to be able to tap into my savings.

2026
01:44:19,160 --> 01:44:22,640
Speaker 1: So it's the levels of difficulty and coming up with

2027
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:26,439
Speaker 1: the accurate numbers seen to be almost insurmountable. Bride, Yeah,

2028
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 1: it really does. And that's why I have a job, frankly.

2029
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 3: Because we have to simulate an awful lot of different

2030
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 3: you know, I always walk people through that here's the

2031
01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 3: hunky dory outcome, here's everything you ever wanted to do,

2032
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 3: and nothing bad ever happens. Again, that's our baseline, and

2033
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 3: then next to that, we can put in Okay, well,

2034
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,559
Speaker 3: let's pretend we have instead of three percent inflation, let's

2035
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 3: pretend it's four percent or five percent something like that.

2036
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:48,719
Speaker 3: What happens there, and all we're doing is we're playing

2037
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:51,759
Speaker 3: with spending and time. Any financial plan is only looking

2038
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:53,599
Speaker 3: at those two things. When you truly boil it down,

2039
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 3: there's a million different buttons to push and levers to

2040
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 3: pull to illustrate that. But again, it's only spending and time.

2041
01:44:59,479 --> 01:45:01,840
Speaker 3: That's all we're dealing with. So then right next to it,

2042
01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 3: we'll do a stress test, which could be maybe we

2043
01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 3: have four or five percent inflation, or it could be

2044
01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 3: let's pretend the market punches us in the face right now,

2045
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,320
Speaker 3: that happened to anybody who retired in twenty twenty one.

2046
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 3: They thought things were hunky dory, but then twenty twenty

2047
01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:16,760
Speaker 3: two came along and took away, possibly up to a

2048
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 3: twenty percent of their portfolio for a brief period of time. Now,

2049
01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 3: for those who panic and sell out when that happens, yeah,

2050
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:24,920
Speaker 3: that's a permanent hit. You're not getting it back. On

2051
01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:27,680
Speaker 3: the other hand, if you keep your head and you

2052
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 3: understand market history, then you can ride those things out.

2053
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:33,120
Speaker 3: And still stay retired. You might not like it, that's

2054
01:45:33,120 --> 01:45:35,400
Speaker 3: a different scenario, but it doesn't mean you can't afford

2055
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 3: to take that hit. But the important thing is to

2056
01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:39,040
Speaker 3: know what kind of hit you can take in the

2057
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:40,479
Speaker 3: first place. And most people don't well.

2058
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:42,680
Speaker 1: And one of the other choices people have to consider is,

2059
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:46,599
Speaker 1: you know, delaying retirement rather than when taking socis security

2060
01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 1: on the earlier side, you do end up with a

2061
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:51,000
Speaker 1: lot more by way of monthly pain. And if you

2062
01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 1: can kick it off to say seventy.

2063
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely you do. And yeah, so financial planning is

2064
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 3: easy if your only goal is to poke the government

2065
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 3: in the eye. Right. Some people come in this hey,

2066
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 3: by god, my plan revolves around me not taking social

2067
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,439
Speaker 3: security until seventy because I want as much money as

2068
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:07,679
Speaker 3: that government is ever going to give me. That's great.

2069
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 3: I will say that in my thirty years of doing this,

2070
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:11,840
Speaker 3: I have a lot more fifty five year olds who

2071
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 3: say that versus sixty five year olds. Our thoughts tend

2072
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 3: to change over time, and I just I want my

2073
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:19,800
Speaker 3: life back. It's less about punching the government in my face,

2074
01:46:19,800 --> 01:46:21,760
Speaker 3: and I just want my life. I was laughing about

2075
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 3: that so hard because it seems.

2076
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: To me a moment in time ago, I wouldn't even

2077
01:46:25,479 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 1: entertain the idea of discussing retirement, Like what the hell

2078
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:30,240
Speaker 1: am I going to do? And no, I'm probably gonna

2079
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: die behind whatever job I'm gonna do, is always my

2080
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 1: philosophy at this particular point, die behind the microphone. But no,

2081
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,320
Speaker 1: I think about retirement all the time now, bro It so.

2082
01:46:37,720 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 3: Look a little different, you know, the more we age,

2083
01:46:39,240 --> 01:46:40,040
Speaker 3: the more we think about it.

2084
01:46:40,040 --> 01:46:42,519
Speaker 1: It looks kind of cool, really is. And then real

2085
01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:45,760
Speaker 1: estate and liquidity I understand, and that makes perfect sense.

2086
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 1: A lot of your clients have a significant amount of

2087
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:51,799
Speaker 1: money tied up in real estate, but can you actually

2088
01:46:52,280 --> 01:46:54,599
Speaker 1: access it? And is it something that you should factor

2089
01:46:54,600 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 1: in terms of your overall investments, Like you've got a

2090
01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: million dollars invested in the markets and distributed them mutual

2091
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:01,920
Speaker 1: funds and bonds and all that. And if you've got

2092
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:03,960
Speaker 1: a million dollars in house, you really don't have two

2093
01:47:04,040 --> 01:47:06,080
Speaker 1: million to play with, do you?

2094
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:06,160
Speaker 7: No?

2095
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:08,280
Speaker 3: Exactly, because that's hard to get to. You got to

2096
01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 3: keep the rain off your stuff, so you have to

2097
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 3: have a roof over your head. There are ways to

2098
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 3: do it. I mean, you can there are ways to

2099
01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:18,439
Speaker 3: access that via home equity lines of credit. By the way,

2100
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:20,680
Speaker 3: I think those are a good idea, even if it's

2101
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:23,640
Speaker 3: a just in case, because debt against your home is

2102
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 3: probably going to be the best debt you can ever get.

2103
01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:28,920
Speaker 3: Most people aren't comfortable with this, but when it comes

2104
01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 3: down to you, I'll give an example. So let's say

2105
01:47:31,800 --> 01:47:33,680
Speaker 3: you figure out you need to buy a car, you know,

2106
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:35,720
Speaker 3: sooner than you thought you would, or something like that,

2107
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:38,599
Speaker 3: and you don't have the cash or what more happens.

2108
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:40,599
Speaker 3: More commonly happens is you know what, I don't want

2109
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:41,840
Speaker 3: to take any more Let's say youre at the end

2110
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:43,160
Speaker 3: of the year. I don't want to take any more

2111
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:45,600
Speaker 3: tax heets. I don't want to cause any more taxation.

2112
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 3: I really want to push this into the next year. Right,

2113
01:47:48,080 --> 01:47:51,200
Speaker 3: you could borrow fifty thousand dollars against your home. Let's

2114
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:54,160
Speaker 3: pretend that that's you're getting charged maybe six or seven

2115
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:57,400
Speaker 3: percent on that borrow fifty thousand dollars against the home

2116
01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:59,800
Speaker 3: in you know, the November December timeframe to get this

2117
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 3: situation fixed, and then in January February, when we're in

2118
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:05,360
Speaker 3: a new tax here, that's when you take the distribution

2119
01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:07,920
Speaker 3: and cause the taxation. You know, we don't want that.

2120
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:10,120
Speaker 3: But at the same time, all you will have done

2121
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:12,680
Speaker 3: in that case is borrowed fifty thousand dollars and you

2122
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 3: pay again currently six to seven percent interest on that,

2123
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:17,479
Speaker 3: but only for a few months. So you're really talking

2124
01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 3: less than one or two percent true hard dollars worth

2125
01:48:20,960 --> 01:48:23,040
Speaker 3: of interest. And that beats the heck out of needing

2126
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:25,600
Speaker 3: to finance things, you know, with a credit card or

2127
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 3: you know, or borrowing from the dealership for a fixed

2128
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 3: amount of time. So there are ways to tap into that.

2129
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 3: I think it's a good idea to have a home

2130
01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:34,720
Speaker 3: equity line of credit in your back pocket, even if

2131
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:35,519
Speaker 3: you never draw on it.

2132
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:38,719
Speaker 1: Well, isn't that how the uber rich manage their money

2133
01:48:38,720 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 1: and avoid paying income taxes?

2134
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't sell your assets, borrow against them, right, If

2135
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 3: you want to play that game, then don't sell anything.

2136
01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:47,160
Speaker 3: Figure out how you can borrow against them. If you

2137
01:48:47,200 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 3: have a portfolio of securities outside of an IRA, you

2138
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:52,720
Speaker 3: can do margin loans, you can do portfolio loans, you

2139
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 3: can borrow against those. Yes, there have to be payments made.

2140
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:57,960
Speaker 3: You are jumping through financial hoops to do this, of course,

2141
01:48:58,040 --> 01:48:59,719
Speaker 3: but there's a reason that rich people get.

2142
01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:03,800
Speaker 1: Rich, Brian James. Very interesting and informative discussion we've had here.

2143
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 1: As we end of the new year, consider that. And

2144
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:07,400
Speaker 1: of course, as I always point out, it's great to

2145
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:09,880
Speaker 1: hang think half a financial planner sitting on your side

2146
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: of the table, one that knows you a produciary obligation.

2147
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 1: That way you don't have to fret and worry about

2148
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:16,719
Speaker 1: these issues day to day. You let somebody like Brian

2149
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:19,760
Speaker 1: do it. Brian James, appreciate all worth loading you out

2150
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:21,439
Speaker 1: every Monday. We'll do this again next Monday. I hope

01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 1: you have a fantastic week, my.

2152
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:23,559
Speaker 2: Friend, you bet have a good week.

2153
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:25,439
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you Monday eight fifteen. Right now fifty

2154
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:27,560
Speaker 1: five krsee the talk station. Other quick word for my

2155
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:31,679
Speaker 1: friends at zimmer A twenty one and fifty five Carse

2156
01:49:31,880 --> 01:49:34,559
Speaker 1: the talk station. A very happy Monday to you made

2157
01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 1: extra special. Welcome back to the fifty five Carse Morning Show.

2158
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: A very happy New Year to the next Governor of

2159
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:42,439
Speaker 1: the State of Ohio. V. V Ramaswami vvike Rama saw me.

2160
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:44,599
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to have you back on the show, sir. Welcome.

2161
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:46,719
Speaker 1: Good to talk you. Brian.

2162
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 2: Heany you do it.

2163
01:49:47,439 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 1: Mom, doing great, Lisa, as great as I can be.

2164
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 1: I thought we might have, you know, hit the ground running.

2165
01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:53,360
Speaker 1: It a little bit slower encountered your twenty twenty six.

2166
01:49:53,439 --> 01:49:56,280
Speaker 1: But I keep joking. I've got like six months of

2167
01:49:56,479 --> 01:49:59,240
Speaker 1: flood of breaking news stories that you know normally would

2168
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 1: take place over a long, long period of time, all

2169
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 1: crunched into a tiny little amount of space. There's a

2170
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:05,840
Speaker 1: whole lot to unpackage. I hope the whole year isn't

2171
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:08,599
Speaker 1: this complicated. But I'm looking forward to November because I'm

2172
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:11,080
Speaker 1: looking forward to you being elected as Ohio as next governor,

2173
01:50:11,640 --> 01:50:13,599
Speaker 1: way ahead and all the polling for everything I can tell,

2174
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:16,559
Speaker 1: and you've kind of solidified that the team. You've selected

2175
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 1: Rob McCauley as you're running mate. What led you to

2176
01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:25,080
Speaker 1: choose Rob over the others who were under consideration, Vivek, Well.

2177
01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:26,439
Speaker 14: Look, there was, first of all, a lot of great

2178
01:50:26,439 --> 01:50:29,400
Speaker 14: people in office and running for office and even not

2179
01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 14: running for office who I considered. But it's going to

2180
01:50:32,040 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 14: be a team effort. But the reason I selected Rob

2181
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:37,599
Speaker 14: as lieutenant governor is think about it, Brian, is I'm

2182
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:41,160
Speaker 14: an entrepreneur, I'm a businessman. I'm not a politician and

2183
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:43,120
Speaker 14: I come from the outside, and we're going to shake

2184
01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:46,520
Speaker 14: things up where necessary. Right, I'm going to tax reform,

2185
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 14: regulatory reform, you name it. But in order to actually

2186
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 14: turn that vision into reality, I wanted a governing partner

2187
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:58,160
Speaker 14: who does have the experience of passing laws, understanding the

2188
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 14: effectiveness of working with the led and in that department,

2189
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:05,559
Speaker 14: I think there's nobody better than Rob who, by the

2190
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:08,519
Speaker 14: age of forty, got to be Senate President in Ohio.

2191
01:51:08,600 --> 01:51:10,799
Speaker 14: He had served in both the House and the Senate.

2192
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 14: But at the same time, he isn't somebody who's off

2193
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:15,800
Speaker 14: his peak, and you know, in the Rocker, I should

2194
01:51:15,840 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 14: say he's a young man still, he's about the same

2195
01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 14: age as me. He's of the next generation, and so

2196
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:24,639
Speaker 14: I think he brings that youthful perspective and energy while

2197
01:51:24,760 --> 01:51:28,960
Speaker 14: still actually having legislative experience that I don't have. But

2198
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:32,400
Speaker 14: I do bring the outsider experience to the business executive

2199
01:51:32,439 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 14: and an entrepreneur, and I think that's going to be

2200
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:38,519
Speaker 14: a powerful one two punch combination. Not just to talk

2201
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:42,240
Speaker 14: about policy changes, not just to make noise on social

2202
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:45,800
Speaker 14: media right, which the too many politicians focus on these days, but.

2203
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 1: To actually deliver meaningful change.

2204
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:52,080
Speaker 14: That lifts up the lives of allolands, that puts more

2205
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 14: money in your pockets, and also equally importantly improves the

2206
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 14: quality of our schools.

2207
01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 1: That's what I'm focused on, fair enough, And I guess

2208
01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing is you are demonstrably successful as a businessman.

2209
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 1: You know how business works, and you work that to

2210
01:52:06,439 --> 01:52:08,559
Speaker 1: your own personal success. You plan on bringing that to

2211
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 1: the state of Ohio. Having that keen understanding McCauley, I

2212
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:15,680
Speaker 1: guess understands the sausage making process. Can I put it

2213
01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:16,599
Speaker 1: that way, sir?

2214
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 14: Absolutely, that's exactly right. And you know there's a famous

2215
01:52:20,200 --> 01:52:22,519
Speaker 14: man born in Ohio by the name of Thomas Edison

2216
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 14: who famously said a vision without execution is a hallucination.

2217
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 14: All right, So I'm bringing the vision and I'm also

2218
01:52:29,960 --> 01:52:31,920
Speaker 14: going to be able to execute, but I want a

2219
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 14: governing partner who helps me execute with the legislature because

2220
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:37,920
Speaker 14: a lot of what I want to do, some of

2221
01:52:37,960 --> 01:52:40,160
Speaker 14: it we can do through executive power, but a lot

2222
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:41,599
Speaker 14: of what I'm going to want to do is going

2223
01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:45,160
Speaker 14: to require legislation. That's going to be Rob helping me

2224
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 14: work with our legislature, which he knows in and out

2225
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:51,360
Speaker 14: that's the sausage making that's required, and he's able to

2226
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 14: do it while still being young and energetic. And I

2227
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,479
Speaker 14: like that about him. And look, let's talk about the goals,

2228
01:52:56,560 --> 01:52:59,000
Speaker 14: not just talk about sausage making. Let's talk about why

2229
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:01,960
Speaker 14: we're in this, which is, not only do we want

2230
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,799
Speaker 14: to bring costs down, and this is the focus across

2231
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 14: the board in the country, but I want to also

2232
01:53:07,479 --> 01:53:11,320
Speaker 14: be the state that actually makes you wealthier, increases your

2233
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:15,639
Speaker 14: after tax take home pay by rolling back property taxes.

2234
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:18,280
Speaker 14: I want to deliver the biggest property tax rollback we

2235
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:20,800
Speaker 14: have seen in the United States of America. And I

2236
01:53:20,840 --> 01:53:23,400
Speaker 14: want to make Ohio zero income tax state while we're

2237
01:53:23,439 --> 01:53:26,759
Speaker 14: at it, and you able to roll back both income taxation,

2238
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 14: property taxation, and even regulatory taxation. Yes, and the reason

2239
01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 14: your electric bills are seventy eighty percent hiring some parts

2240
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:36,960
Speaker 14: of the state is because of the regulations that inhibit

2241
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:37,759
Speaker 14: energy production.

2242
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: With a tax off his platform, he's promising a reform

2243
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:45,120
Speaker 1: and energy And I'm laughing out loud because I'm still

2244
01:53:45,160 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: walking funny since the last Duke Bill I got. I

2245
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:50,280
Speaker 1: couldn't believe my eyes. We need to do something about

2246
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 1: that control. Yeah, lowering the price of energy, money in

2247
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:54,759
Speaker 1: our pockets.

2248
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 14: Absolutely, I've been talking about this is the day I

2249
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:01,120
Speaker 14: launched the campaign. Now, I launched the campaig in Fibruary

2250
01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:05,400
Speaker 14: of twenty twenty five, now right, and so I already

2251
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:08,720
Speaker 14: twenty second Fember of twenty twenty five. I said that

2252
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:11,559
Speaker 14: our electric bills are going to continue to go up

2253
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:14,720
Speaker 14: because of the supply demand imbalance, and a lot of

2254
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:16,439
Speaker 14: people told me that, I don't think people believe you

2255
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 14: on that. Well, then summer last year rolled around, and

2256
01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 14: then fall last year rolled around, and what do we see.

2257
01:54:21,720 --> 01:54:24,439
Speaker 14: We saw that spike. And so I do think we

2258
01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:27,680
Speaker 14: need a governor who is an entrepreneur, who's a businessman,

2259
01:54:27,720 --> 01:54:30,960
Speaker 14: who's able to see where the puck is going, even economically,

2260
01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:36,760
Speaker 14: and make those decisions in a calculated, thoughtful way for islands.

2261
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:40,440
Speaker 14: I've built successful companies. I'm proud to say it because

2262
01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:43,040
Speaker 14: of the opportunities I've been given in this state. The

2263
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:45,760
Speaker 14: education that I gained in Cincinnati, went to public school's

2264
01:54:45,760 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 14: three eighth grade, went to Saint X for high school.

2265
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:50,840
Speaker 14: So I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've been given.

2266
01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:54,000
Speaker 14: But to be one of the most successful businessmen probably

2267
01:54:54,040 --> 01:54:56,080
Speaker 14: in the last several decades coming out of this state.

2268
01:54:56,640 --> 01:54:59,200
Speaker 14: I know how to solve the problems that this state

2269
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:02,280
Speaker 14: faces too. And with Rob at my side, working with

2270
01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:05,720
Speaker 14: the legislature, we're just gonna get things done, not just

2271
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:08,440
Speaker 14: talk about it, but actually act. And I'm looking forward

2272
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:11,440
Speaker 14: to starting next January so it can actually deliver on

2273
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:14,800
Speaker 14: bringing down those electric bills, bringing down those property taxes,

2274
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 14: and eventually bringing the income tax down to zero.

2275
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 1: Check out the platform, help him out. His vision for

2276
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:21,959
Speaker 1: Ohio is an outstanding one, and that is a confident

2277
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:24,080
Speaker 1: man I've got on the phone today. Vvig Ramaswami. You

2278
01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 1: can help him online, learn about the campaign strategy and

2279
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 1: maybe donate some money. V vague vi v e k

01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:39,080
Speaker 1: help them out and help him out with a campaign trail.

2283
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 1: Knock some doors. Mister Ramaswami. Thank you so much for

2284
01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:43,680
Speaker 1: joining my program. It's always a pleasure to hear from

2285
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:45,839
Speaker 1: you of an open venue right here to talk anytime

2286
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:48,720
Speaker 1: you want about the issues as we move fast toward November.

2287
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:50,440
Speaker 4: Thank you.

2288
01:55:50,520 --> 01:55:51,320
Speaker 14: Brian Good talking to you.

2289
01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:53,240
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a pleasure. Height twenty seven right now, stick around.

2290
01:55:53,320 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 1: Zach Haynes, speaking of elections in November, got Ohio State

2291
01:55:56,160 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 1: Senate candidate for District seven, Zach Haynes, wildly successful businessman

2292
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:01,920
Speaker 1: and da Romaso, I mean, running for governor of the

2293
01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:03,920
Speaker 1: state of Ohio. We have some options here in the

2294
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 1: state of Ohio as we fast approach November in terms

2295
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:09,400
Speaker 1: of state Senate races. One of those receiving the Americans

2296
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:13,360
Speaker 1: for Prosperity endorsement just last Tuesday with Donald O'Neil joining

2297
01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:16,960
Speaker 1: the program, Ohio State Senate District candidate for numbers District seven.

2298
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program, Zach Haynes. It's a real pleasure

2299
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:21,280
Speaker 1: to you. Have you, I should say back on because

2300
01:56:21,280 --> 01:56:23,400
Speaker 1: you did chime in on the subject of your endorsement

2301
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:25,200
Speaker 1: last week. Good to hear from you, Zach.

2302
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 5: Happy Monday, Brian, Happy New Year. I got to tell

2303
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:31,760
Speaker 5: you and your listeners last night was rough. I woke

2304
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:34,960
Speaker 5: up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night.

2305
01:56:35,280 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 5: It's just like the worst nightmare I have ever had.

2306
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:41,280
Speaker 5: That Amy Acton and Juvid Pepper were in the Governor's office. Yeah,

2307
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:44,320
Speaker 5: I mean, my gosh, it was terrible. The whole place

2308
01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:47,560
Speaker 5: was shut down. Everybody was wearing masks again, So I mean,

2309
01:56:48,080 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 5: let's not do that. I hoy support BVEC and my god,

2310
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:54,720
Speaker 5: is refreshing to have an entrepreneur and an outsider running

2311
01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 5: for governor in Ohio at this pivotal crossroads in our state.

2312
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:01,440
Speaker 1: Well, and an entrepreneur also running for district's seven Senate set.

2313
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:04,800
Speaker 1: Apparently you have quite a business and very successful business background.

2314
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:07,400
Speaker 1: That's such an important thing for an elected official. I

2315
01:57:07,480 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 1: get so frustrated, Zach Haynes, when we have elected officials

2316
01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:14,480
Speaker 1: who literally have had no connection with independent business, private business.

2317
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:16,280
Speaker 1: They don't understand how it works, and yet they get

2318
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:18,200
Speaker 1: elected to higher office and then are expected to come

2319
01:57:18,280 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 1: up with brilliant ideas about how we can better run

2320
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:23,520
Speaker 1: and manage the state. I think it's only people who've

2321
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 1: had direct experience with business and leadership and industry that

2322
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,520
Speaker 1: really have any concept on how to fix problem because

2323
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:30,480
Speaker 1: they've had to deal with those problems.

2324
01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:35,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent, Brian. Look, I'm a father two boys,

2325
01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:40,400
Speaker 5: a CEO, lifelong conservative from Southwest Ohiom, not a career politician.

2326
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:42,440
Speaker 5: I grew up in a family owned business. So I

2327
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:44,920
Speaker 5: know what it means that work hard me to pay roll,

2328
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:49,760
Speaker 5: balance a budget. And Brian, when you overspend in business, newsflash,

2329
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:52,000
Speaker 5: you don't get a bailout. All right, you fail, all right.

2330
01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:55,320
Speaker 5: Government needs to start working like a business. I'm not

2331
01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:57,440
Speaker 5: running for office for the state Senate to join the

2332
01:57:57,480 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 5: club and Columbus, we've got to shake things up. I mean,

2333
01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:02,880
Speaker 5: I've seen government from the inside. We've seen it from

2334
01:58:02,920 --> 01:58:06,080
Speaker 5: the outside. It wastes money, it grows too big, and

2335
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:09,320
Speaker 5: it loses sight of the people who it's supposed to serve.

2336
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:12,760
Speaker 5: So my vision, and I think it's probably very similar

2337
01:58:12,800 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 5: to Eves, is I want to Ohio to be the

2338
01:58:15,800 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 5: most competitive and prosperous state in the country for the

2339
01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 5: average family and worker. And we're doing some good things,

2340
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:26,520
Speaker 5: but at the same time, families are getting crushed by

2341
01:58:26,560 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 5: property taxes. Spending keeps going up. These budgets have gone

2342
01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:32,440
Speaker 5: up by billions of dollars over the last couple of years,

2343
01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:36,040
Speaker 5: very little accountability. Parents are losing control of children's education.

2344
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:40,040
Speaker 5: Small business. As you mentioned, small businesses are buried under

2345
01:58:40,120 --> 01:58:44,360
Speaker 5: regulations written by people who've never owned a business, and

2346
01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:47,560
Speaker 5: Columbus is more focused at times a grown government than

2347
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:50,360
Speaker 5: protecting tax payers. And you know, as a father, that

2348
01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 5: hits home for me, and probably like a lot of

2349
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:55,240
Speaker 5: your listeners, you know, I want my kids to have

2350
01:58:55,520 --> 01:58:58,160
Speaker 5: more opportunity than I had, not less. I want them

2351
01:58:58,160 --> 01:58:59,880
Speaker 5: to be able to actually afford a home, to raise

2352
01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:02,280
Speaker 5: a family, to start a business if they want to,

2353
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:05,000
Speaker 5: and to stay right here in Ohio. But what we're

2354
01:59:05,040 --> 01:59:07,680
Speaker 5: seeing is people in the state are moving away to

2355
01:59:07,720 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 5: get ahead. So that's why I'm running for the Ohio

2356
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 5: State Senate District seven. I want to keep that American

2357
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:16,320
Speaker 5: dream alive attainable for the next generation here in Ohio,

2358
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:19,680
Speaker 5: and I think the voters are responding to that message. Brian.

2359
01:59:19,880 --> 01:59:22,360
Speaker 5: I'm going to file with over four hundred thousand dollars

2360
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 5: cash on hand. I've got more than eighty endorsements from

2361
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:30,720
Speaker 5: conservatives at every level, from Congressman Warren Davidson, Congressman Dave Taylor,

2362
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:34,640
Speaker 5: Steve Shabbtt, brad Winstrip, Jim or Nacy, Bob McEwan, county

2363
01:59:34,680 --> 01:59:39,200
Speaker 5: wide local elected officials, grassroots activists, groups like Ohio Value Voters,

2364
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:41,840
Speaker 5: which is a pro life, pro family organization, and as

2365
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:45,480
Speaker 5: you mentioned, Americans for Prosperity so I'm ready to shake

2366
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:48,320
Speaker 5: things up and we need more business people in office.

2367
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:51,000
Speaker 1: We're going to continue. We'll bring Zach Haynes back and

2368
01:59:51,160 --> 01:59:53,400
Speaker 1: just so by way of assistance for Zach's campaign. And

2369
01:59:53,480 --> 01:59:56,520
Speaker 1: what an amazing crew of endorsements you've got there. You're

2370
01:59:56,560 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: in good company. My friend that speaks volumes Haynes Ai

2371
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:03,560
Speaker 1: n e s the number of the word for Haynes

2372
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:06,080
Speaker 1: for Ohio dot com. It's all right there. It can

2373
02:00:06,120 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 1: help him out, learn about him in the campaign. Let's

2374
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:12,040
Speaker 1: bring Zach back and find out about maybe why is

2375
02:00:12,120 --> 02:00:14,360
Speaker 1: it that we don't have an appealing state right now?

2376
02:00:14,400 --> 02:00:17,280
Speaker 1: We've got Republicans in leadership, we have Republican governor. Let

2377
02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:19,680
Speaker 1: me remind people of the obvious. We run the herb

2378
02:00:19,720 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 1: Republicans around the House and the Senate in Ohio, and

2379
02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:24,800
Speaker 1: yet seems to be like herding cats. Where's that property

2380
02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:27,520
Speaker 1: tax relief that we've been promised? Where's the energy relief?

2381
02:00:27,840 --> 02:00:30,000
Speaker 1: More with Zach Kines stick around. It's eight thirty five

2382
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:31,680
Speaker 1: right now. If you about krcit Talks, he is.

2383
02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:34,600
Speaker 7: Fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.

2384
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:37,480
Speaker 2: Man, it's the new year and for many of KRS

2385
02:00:37,680 --> 02:00:38,760
Speaker 2: the talk station.

2386
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:42,320
Speaker 1: A thirty eight thirty five krs the talk station bron

2387
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:47,160
Speaker 1: Thomas with state Senate candidate his named Zach Haynes. He's

2388
02:00:47,160 --> 02:00:49,640
Speaker 1: already seen AFP's endorsement. If you listen to the number

2389
02:00:49,680 --> 02:00:53,360
Speaker 1: of folks endorsing Zach Kynes for the seventh district seat

2390
02:00:53,400 --> 02:00:55,120
Speaker 1: here in the state of Ohio. He's got all the

2391
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 1: right people on his side. When you say Warren Davidson

2392
02:00:57,680 --> 02:00:59,960
Speaker 1: out of the gate there, I know you're in good company.

2393
02:01:00,160 --> 02:01:00,720
Speaker 5: That's strong.

2394
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:04,920
Speaker 1: That's like the good housekeeping stamp of political approval right there,

2395
02:01:05,400 --> 02:01:08,160
Speaker 1: so real quick here a regular topic of conversation, most

2396
02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:10,560
Speaker 1: notably dominated by the state of Minnesota. All the fraud,

2397
02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:13,000
Speaker 1: wasted abuse in various government programs that we've been hearing

2398
02:01:13,040 --> 02:01:14,360
Speaker 1: this for a long time. We have it in the

2399
02:01:14,400 --> 02:01:16,720
Speaker 1: state of Ohio as well, perhaps on that not on

2400
02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:19,720
Speaker 1: that epic level, but areas where we could ferret out

2401
02:01:19,760 --> 02:01:22,760
Speaker 1: what sounds like billions of dollars of potential potential fraud, waste,

2402
02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:25,920
Speaker 1: and abuse. Notably like the Medicaid program. Well it's okay,

2403
02:01:25,960 --> 02:01:29,280
Speaker 1: we're getting federal dollars reimburses. Well, that's our taxpayer dollars too.

2404
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, at least as a concept, Zach, Are you

2405
02:01:33,200 --> 02:01:37,760
Speaker 1: desirous of making a priority getting rid of fraud, wasted abuse,

2406
02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:40,360
Speaker 1: and these modern times we have with computer technology. I

2407
02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:42,320
Speaker 1: don't think that's a big ask these days.

2408
02:01:44,040 --> 02:01:47,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, Brian, it is absolutely absurd the amount of waste,

2409
02:01:47,760 --> 02:01:50,760
Speaker 5: the amount of fraud, and frankly, the sheer level of

2410
02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:54,680
Speaker 5: bureaucracy we have at every level of the government government

2411
02:01:54,720 --> 02:01:57,880
Speaker 5: with respect to boards, agencies, commissions. So we need more

2412
02:01:57,920 --> 02:02:01,360
Speaker 5: stringent auditing, we need more meats testing, We need to

2413
02:02:01,480 --> 02:02:05,840
Speaker 5: qualify everybody who's receiving a single dollar of our taxpayer money.

2414
02:02:06,320 --> 02:02:08,120
Speaker 5: And that's my number one job if I get in

2415
02:02:08,200 --> 02:02:11,920
Speaker 5: the state Senate, is to protect our taxpayer money. This

2416
02:02:12,080 --> 02:02:15,680
Speaker 5: is your money, this is not the government's money. Just

2417
02:02:15,840 --> 02:02:18,080
Speaker 5: on the topic, I don't know if people realize this,

2418
02:02:18,320 --> 02:02:22,200
Speaker 5: but there's over one hundred and ninety government agencies, boards

2419
02:02:22,320 --> 02:02:24,880
Speaker 5: and commissions in Ohio. If I'm elected, the first thing

2420
02:02:24,880 --> 02:02:26,920
Speaker 5: I would do is push for a review of every

2421
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:30,320
Speaker 5: single state agency to make sure it's actually serving a

2422
02:02:30,440 --> 02:02:34,240
Speaker 5: clear purpose that is providing real value to Ohio taxpayers.

2423
02:02:34,480 --> 02:02:38,600
Speaker 5: Governments should not continue funding offices simply because they've all

2424
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:42,720
Speaker 5: always existed, and when agencies overlap or they drift beyond

2425
02:02:42,760 --> 02:02:46,520
Speaker 5: their original mission. They should be consolidated, eliminated, sunset it.

2426
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:49,840
Speaker 5: Budget decisions should be based on results and outcomes, not

2427
02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:53,800
Speaker 5: automatic increases year per year. There's so much fraud in medicaid.

2428
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:59,320
Speaker 5: When Governor Kaiseik expanded medicaid under his term, you know,

2429
02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:01,400
Speaker 5: one of the things no one was talking about. And

2430
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:03,640
Speaker 5: as a business guy, I'm just kind of throwing my

2431
02:03:03,720 --> 02:03:06,160
Speaker 5: hand up in there, like, wait a second. Okay, so

2432
02:03:06,760 --> 02:03:09,000
Speaker 5: the federal we're gonna get money from the Feds, but

2433
02:03:09,440 --> 02:03:13,800
Speaker 5: that money is not federally guaranteed. Okay, so what they

2434
02:03:14,160 --> 02:03:16,200
Speaker 5: What if it dries up, what if they stop stop

2435
02:03:16,320 --> 02:03:18,320
Speaker 5: sending that money, then guess what, We're on the hook

2436
02:03:18,360 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 5: for it. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.

2437
02:03:20,720 --> 02:03:23,920
Speaker 5: So it is absolutely ridiculous. I was talking to a

2438
02:03:24,120 --> 02:03:27,200
Speaker 5: doctor the other day who has a neighbor who lives

2439
02:03:27,200 --> 02:03:29,839
Speaker 5: across the street in a in a huge kind of mansion,

2440
02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:33,120
Speaker 5: and uh, he was talking about nursing homes. Every nursing

2441
02:03:33,160 --> 02:03:35,840
Speaker 5: home has to have a like a registered physician on

2442
02:03:35,920 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 5: the books. And this guy's never even seen anybody in

2443
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:40,720
Speaker 5: the nursing home, never steps in, and just collects his

2444
02:03:40,880 --> 02:03:44,040
Speaker 5: checks okay, and and and gives lends's name, so there's

2445
02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:47,800
Speaker 5: a you know, an official license physicians associated with that

2446
02:03:47,880 --> 02:03:50,280
Speaker 5: so they can receive their handouts. I mean, it's absolutely

2447
02:03:50,320 --> 02:03:53,360
Speaker 5: absurd what's going on. And you know what, it starts with.

2448
02:03:53,480 --> 02:03:56,080
Speaker 5: It starts with caring. We got to have people who care,

2449
02:03:56,440 --> 02:03:59,640
Speaker 5: and we have to have people who are competent, you know.

2450
02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:02,000
Speaker 5: And an other thing, Brian, and people don't talk about

2451
02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:05,960
Speaker 5: this enough. I'm a big believer in the dignity of work.

2452
02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:09,240
Speaker 5: I think every o'hiland should have a chance to earn

2453
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:13,160
Speaker 5: a living, support their family, contribute to society with their

2454
02:04:13,200 --> 02:04:17,000
Speaker 5: God given talents. But with that being said, the first

2455
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:20,400
Speaker 5: rule of a leader, in my mind is do no harm.

2456
02:04:21,120 --> 02:04:24,280
Speaker 5: And we have policies on the books right now that

2457
02:04:24,440 --> 02:04:28,320
Speaker 5: discourage marriage, family information, and work ethic. Too often our

2458
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:33,080
Speaker 5: laws create perverse incentives that penalize people for doing the

2459
02:04:33,200 --> 02:04:37,040
Speaker 5: right thing. I talked to a supporter of mine and

2460
02:04:37,120 --> 02:04:39,080
Speaker 5: he wanted to give one of his employees a raise,

2461
02:04:39,520 --> 02:04:42,920
Speaker 5: and she declined because if she makes over a certain amounts,

2462
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 5: she would lose her her government handouts and subsidies. We're

2463
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:48,840
Speaker 5: talking about people who are cohabitating instead of getting married.

2464
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:52,320
Speaker 5: I will fight to ensure that no government program undermines

2465
02:04:52,400 --> 02:04:56,640
Speaker 5: the role of family, faith, personal responsibility. We have an

2466
02:04:56,680 --> 02:04:59,280
Speaker 5: identity crisis in this country, and if we're going to

2467
02:04:59,360 --> 02:05:02,960
Speaker 5: solve it, we need strong families, strong churches, strong communities,

2468
02:05:03,280 --> 02:05:05,960
Speaker 5: not as strong a bureaucracy. So you know, I'm not

2469
02:05:06,120 --> 02:05:09,760
Speaker 5: just about passing legislation. I want to start repealing legislation.

2470
02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:12,800
Speaker 5: I think government has way stepped outside the lines.

2471
02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Well, and you know, honestly, sir, I don't need to

2472
02:05:14,640 --> 02:05:16,560
Speaker 1: boil down what you've just got done saying is you know,

2473
02:05:16,720 --> 02:05:20,880
Speaker 1: traditional Republican platform kind of concepts. And this goes back

2474
02:05:20,880 --> 02:05:22,880
Speaker 1: to my frustration that I commented on as we went

2475
02:05:22,920 --> 02:05:27,160
Speaker 1: into the break. You know, the Republicans control Columbus, and

2476
02:05:27,240 --> 02:05:29,600
Speaker 1: you would think that some of these brilliant ideas you have, Gee,

2477
02:05:29,600 --> 02:05:31,880
Speaker 1: we have one hundred and ninety independent agencies. Why aren't

2478
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:33,640
Speaker 1: we looking at them to see, you know, if we

2479
02:05:33,680 --> 02:05:35,080
Speaker 1: can get rid of them. It sounds like a bunch

2480
02:05:35,120 --> 02:05:37,960
Speaker 1: of extra fat in government overlapping areas. There's no need

2481
02:05:38,000 --> 02:05:42,040
Speaker 1: for the overlap. That's a sound, simple, easily sellable concept

2482
02:05:42,440 --> 02:05:46,400
Speaker 1: that hasn't been advanced yet. But why haven't these types

2483
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:50,120
Speaker 1: of policies as great as they are been advanced by

2484
02:05:50,160 --> 02:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Republicans in Columbus. I'm ah frustrated by this.

2485
02:05:53,440 --> 02:05:56,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brian. I wish I could tell you,

2486
02:05:57,160 --> 02:05:59,160
Speaker 5: or else I wouldn't be running for the state Senate.

2487
02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:01,560
Speaker 5: I mean we I think the one answer is we've

2488
02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:03,720
Speaker 5: got to have more business people, because I think business

2489
02:06:03,760 --> 02:06:07,360
Speaker 5: people are problem solvers. And you know what, We've got

2490
02:06:07,360 --> 02:06:10,040
Speaker 5: a lot of attorneys. We've got a lot of career politicians.

2491
02:06:10,520 --> 02:06:14,200
Speaker 5: But I'm not running I say this with all humility.

2492
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:17,280
Speaker 5: I'm not running for a paycheck and to get a pension.

2493
02:06:17,440 --> 02:06:19,960
Speaker 5: I believe. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but you have to

2494
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:23,920
Speaker 5: earn a living in the private sector, and you provide

2495
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:26,480
Speaker 5: for your family. You get back to your community locally,

2496
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:30,240
Speaker 5: and then you take the skills and take the lessons

2497
02:06:30,280 --> 02:06:32,960
Speaker 5: that you've learned, and then you run for office to

2498
02:06:33,040 --> 02:06:36,480
Speaker 5: give back, to serve to help your state. And Ohio

2499
02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:38,720
Speaker 5: is the heart of this country. We are blessed with

2500
02:06:38,840 --> 02:06:42,200
Speaker 5: so many resources, but we're strangling ourselves. I mean, you

2501
02:06:42,280 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 5: mentioned it. With energy, we could just open up lines

2502
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:48,840
Speaker 5: and empower the free market. We empower the consumer, and

2503
02:06:49,320 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 5: increasing supply will drive down costs and make things more affordable.

2504
02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:55,800
Speaker 5: But you know, I don't know this is unique to

2505
02:06:56,320 --> 02:06:58,800
Speaker 5: people who have owned or run a business. It seems

2506
02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:02,240
Speaker 5: like common sense to me. You know, It's just I think,

2507
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,600
Speaker 5: like anything, you've got a certain number of people that

2508
02:07:04,680 --> 02:07:06,480
Speaker 5: are willing to do the work, and you've got a

2509
02:07:06,520 --> 02:07:08,800
Speaker 5: certain number of people that are just kind of, you know,

2510
02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:11,160
Speaker 5: kind of there. But I won't know that until I

2511
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:14,200
Speaker 5: get there. You've got to have enough votes to pass things,

2512
02:07:14,280 --> 02:07:17,440
Speaker 5: and you know that's kind of that sausage making process.

2513
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:19,200
Speaker 5: But you know, I've got a lot of ideas. A

2514
02:07:19,280 --> 02:07:21,520
Speaker 5: lot of these seem like common sense, and I just

2515
02:07:21,640 --> 02:07:25,000
Speaker 5: think it takes conviction. And as I said, I'm not

2516
02:07:25,160 --> 02:07:28,240
Speaker 5: running to join the club in Columbus. I'm running to

2517
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:30,960
Speaker 5: shake things up. And I think with someone like Vivek

2518
02:07:31,040 --> 02:07:33,800
Speaker 5: as our next governor, he's going to need folks in

2519
02:07:33,920 --> 02:07:37,280
Speaker 5: the state legislature that will help him get his agenda

2520
02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:38,040
Speaker 5: across the line.

2521
02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:41,640
Speaker 1: Well, he mentioned the idea of ultimately eliminating income tax,

2522
02:07:41,720 --> 02:07:43,520
Speaker 1: great idea. Other states have done it and we're able

2523
02:07:43,560 --> 02:07:46,760
Speaker 1: to survive. How about property tax relief? Another frustrating element.

2524
02:07:46,840 --> 02:07:49,880
Speaker 1: We had the budget that was presented to the governor

2525
02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:52,200
Speaker 1: for his signature. Oh no out comes the line at

2526
02:07:52,280 --> 02:07:56,200
Speaker 1: in veto vetoing or vetoing the property tax reform that

2527
02:07:56,280 --> 02:07:58,680
Speaker 1: the legislative brand should put in there. I'm not I

2528
02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:02,200
Speaker 1: mean some miners toward fixing the property tax Well, that's

2529
02:08:02,240 --> 02:08:04,600
Speaker 1: one of the biggest thing that vexes the Ohio tax fairers.

2530
02:08:04,840 --> 02:08:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, you don't really ever own your home, and

2531
02:08:07,280 --> 02:08:10,400
Speaker 1: the bill keeps going up, and sometimes by huge amounts

2532
02:08:10,520 --> 02:08:11,920
Speaker 1: most seniors can't manage.

2533
02:08:13,400 --> 02:08:13,600
Speaker 10: Yeah.

2534
02:08:13,920 --> 02:08:17,880
Speaker 5: So look, I've called hundreds and hundreds of voters in

2535
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:21,200
Speaker 5: my district and I asked them, at this point point,

2536
02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:23,800
Speaker 5: what are your top priorities, what are you most passionate about?

2537
02:08:24,120 --> 02:08:26,440
Speaker 5: Get a magic wand what issues would you solve and fix?

2538
02:08:26,840 --> 02:08:30,640
Speaker 5: Property taxes was always among the top three. And I

2539
02:08:30,720 --> 02:08:36,520
Speaker 5: think it's absolutely disheartening that someone who's worked their whole life,

2540
02:08:36,600 --> 02:08:39,800
Speaker 5: owns their home outright, can be forced out of their

2541
02:08:39,880 --> 02:08:44,040
Speaker 5: home because of rising property valuations and taxes. It's not right.

2542
02:08:44,520 --> 02:08:47,760
Speaker 5: And so I am one hundred percent for reform, one

2543
02:08:48,120 --> 02:08:51,160
Speaker 5: percent for caps and frankly, if we get to a

2544
02:08:51,240 --> 02:08:53,080
Speaker 5: place where we can do more, I want to do more.

2545
02:08:53,680 --> 02:08:56,120
Speaker 5: The thing nobody wants to talk about, and this is

2546
02:08:56,200 --> 02:08:59,080
Speaker 5: where you really get into untangling the Christmas lights and

2547
02:08:59,200 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 5: fixing the problem is that K through twelve school funding

2548
02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:08,240
Speaker 5: is primarily based on property taxes and that is unconstitutional.

2549
02:09:08,280 --> 02:09:09,720
Speaker 1: Bro the last year.

2550
02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:14,160
Speaker 5: And every time someone does a lawsuit, the new year happens,

2551
02:09:14,200 --> 02:09:17,000
Speaker 5: things changes get thrown out of the courts. Nobody wants

2552
02:09:17,040 --> 02:09:18,680
Speaker 5: to touch it, nobody wants to take it up. So

2553
02:09:18,760 --> 02:09:20,960
Speaker 5: if you really want to talk about solving this thing,

2554
02:09:21,480 --> 02:09:25,880
Speaker 5: you have to decouple property taxes with K through twelve funding.

2555
02:09:25,920 --> 02:09:29,920
Speaker 5: It's unconstitutional. So what do you do instead? That means

2556
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:34,480
Speaker 5: the state allocates money per student, per pupil, and it

2557
02:09:34,560 --> 02:09:37,080
Speaker 5: creates parity. Actually, so the schools up in Cleveland aren't

2558
02:09:37,120 --> 02:09:39,720
Speaker 5: getting more money than the schools in Warren County, Ohio.

2559
02:09:40,240 --> 02:09:43,240
Speaker 5: But that's that's the nasty thing nobody wants to talk about.

2560
02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:45,680
Speaker 5: We have a funding model that is based on property

2561
02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:48,440
Speaker 5: taxes and it's unconstitutional. And by the way, you know,

2562
02:09:48,520 --> 02:09:50,640
Speaker 5: I'm a I'm an advocate. I'm a strong believer in

2563
02:09:51,040 --> 02:09:54,280
Speaker 5: improving our public schools. But I'm also a strong believer

2564
02:09:54,360 --> 02:09:58,560
Speaker 5: in choice. I think that children need to learn in

2565
02:09:58,640 --> 02:10:02,160
Speaker 5: an environment that is best for them. I support parochial schools,

2566
02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:05,560
Speaker 5: I support private schools, charter schools, and parents right to homeschool.

2567
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:09,680
Speaker 5: But I also support improving public schools. And you know,

2568
02:10:10,080 --> 02:10:12,240
Speaker 5: I'm sick and tired and voters are sick and tired

2569
02:10:12,320 --> 02:10:15,680
Speaker 5: of these levees on the ballot all the darn time.

2570
02:10:16,160 --> 02:10:19,360
Speaker 5: And right now, how we fund K through twelve funding

2571
02:10:19,440 --> 02:10:22,360
Speaker 5: is unconstitutional has been ruled that, but nobody wants to

2572
02:10:22,400 --> 02:10:24,680
Speaker 5: step up and try to discuss how we fix it.

2573
02:10:24,880 --> 02:10:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would have thought the declaration by the High

2574
02:10:26,720 --> 02:10:29,880
Speaker 1: Supreme Court that it was unconstitutional twenty or so years

2575
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:31,680
Speaker 1: ago would have been what puts us over the edge.

2576
02:10:31,720 --> 02:10:33,880
Speaker 1: But no, no, we'll just ignore that. I do not

2577
02:10:34,040 --> 02:10:36,800
Speaker 1: get how that's sweeping under the rug Zach, And I

2578
02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:40,840
Speaker 1: guess finally, well again, I'll give you the website again

2579
02:10:41,080 --> 02:10:44,360
Speaker 1: attains h A I N E. S. Hanesfo Ohio dot com.

2580
02:10:44,440 --> 02:10:46,480
Speaker 5: Well let me and let me just say this, Brian,

2581
02:10:46,520 --> 02:10:48,920
Speaker 5: as a business guy, you can spell Hanes anyway you want,

2582
02:10:48,960 --> 02:10:51,000
Speaker 5: with an I, with a Y, whatever, I put a

2583
02:10:51,080 --> 02:10:54,520
Speaker 5: redirector so you'll find me. Okay, that's called entrepreneurial out

2584
02:10:54,560 --> 02:10:56,440
Speaker 5: of the box thing right. Our government needs more of that.

2585
02:10:56,600 --> 02:11:00,200
Speaker 1: But anyway, amen, amen to that, And I guess what

2586
02:11:00,240 --> 02:11:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm hearing. You know, market forces really truly work, and

2587
02:11:04,040 --> 02:11:07,360
Speaker 1: we are and governments typically don't treat the world that way.

2588
02:11:07,480 --> 02:11:09,200
Speaker 1: They have you know, your tax paya money, don't have

2589
02:11:09,240 --> 02:11:11,440
Speaker 1: to be responsible or accountable for it. But we are

2590
02:11:11,720 --> 02:11:14,360
Speaker 1: in a market force against other states. We are not

2591
02:11:14,560 --> 02:11:18,120
Speaker 1: as competitive as we could be. That's that capitalistic entrepreneurial

2592
02:11:18,200 --> 02:11:20,480
Speaker 1: element that I hear in your voice and in your proposal.

2593
02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:20,720
Speaker 2: Sir.

2594
02:11:21,040 --> 02:11:23,280
Speaker 1: We need to run the state like we are in

2595
02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:28,879
Speaker 1: active competition with Kentucky and Indiana and New York and California,

2596
02:11:28,920 --> 02:11:31,440
Speaker 1: at Texas and Florida, which seems to be the magnet

2597
02:11:31,520 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 1: for everybody. So run it like an operation. You need

2598
02:11:34,240 --> 02:11:37,440
Speaker 1: to watch your pennies and your dollars and well bring

2599
02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:40,520
Speaker 1: some prosperity to the citizens to pay the taxes. Zach

2600
02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:42,840

Speaker 1: forward to having you on the program a lot between

2604
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:50,600
Speaker 1: now and November.

2605
02:11:51,800 --> 02:11:52,080
Speaker 4: Thanks.

2606
02:11:52,120 --> 02:11:55,440
Speaker 5: Brian in the district is all of Warren County from

2607
02:11:55,600 --> 02:11:58,480
Speaker 5: Springboro and Franklin of Carlisle, Lebanon, all the way down

2608
02:11:58,520 --> 02:12:01,880
Speaker 5: to Mason, Deerfield, Taut and then northeast Hamlin County. So

2609
02:12:01,920 --> 02:12:05,680
Speaker 5: if you live in sim Sycamore, Blue Ass, Montgomery, Sharonville, Evendale,

2610
02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:09,320
Speaker 5: Deer Park, that's District seven. So have an election on

2611
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:12,800
Speaker 5: May fifth. Would appreciate everybody's support. And yeah, Brian, other states,

2612
02:12:12,840 --> 02:12:15,960
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm a big believer and federalism at themendment.

2613
02:12:16,000 --> 02:12:18,200
Speaker 5: There's things that we can learn from other states. But

2614
02:12:18,280 --> 02:12:20,160
Speaker 5: I also agree with the VVEK that we need to

2615
02:12:20,200 --> 02:12:22,800
Speaker 5: look at our own ingenuity and come up with ideas

2616
02:12:22,840 --> 02:12:25,160
Speaker 5: and solutions. And I think between the two there's a

2617
02:12:25,200 --> 02:12:27,360
Speaker 5: lot of things we need we need to implement that

2618
02:12:27,440 --> 02:12:29,680
Speaker 5: we can fix in Ohio. So look forward to serving.

2619
02:12:29,760 --> 02:12:29,960
Speaker 5: Thank you.

2620
02:12:30,080 --> 02:12:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to calling you my senator. Since I'm

2621
02:12:32,480 --> 02:12:35,160

Speaker 1: you just tuned in, you get them at fifty five

2627
02:12:47,880 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 1: cars dot com and thanks again. Going back to last Friday,

2628
02:12:50,640 --> 02:12:52,800
Speaker 1: just what a distinct pleasure was to have Signal ninety

2629
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:57,040
Speaker 1: nine on revealing this behind the scenes negotiations to settle

2630
02:12:57,080 --> 02:12:58,960
Speaker 1: the hitting matter, and that's going to take place today.

2631
02:12:59,040 --> 02:13:02,560
Speaker 1: Talk with Christopher Smith about that earlier during the during

2632
02:13:02,600 --> 02:13:05,640
Speaker 1: the Smith event and executive session. If they do vote

2633
02:13:05,680 --> 02:13:08,040
Speaker 1: to go into executive session to talk about this, it

2634
02:13:08,160 --> 02:13:11,160
Speaker 1: means you and I and reporters and anybody else that's

2635
02:13:11,200 --> 02:13:14,200
Speaker 1: interested in this will not be able to listen and

2636
02:13:14,280 --> 02:13:15,680
Speaker 1: hear what they have to say, and they don't even

2637
02:13:15,760 --> 02:13:18,920
Speaker 1: keep notes, So Christopher's calling them out ahead of times.

2638
02:13:18,960 --> 02:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Council members should not vote to go into executive session.

2639
02:13:21,800 --> 02:13:24,640
Speaker 1: This needs the sunlight of disinfect in particularly since council

2640
02:13:24,720 --> 02:13:28,080
Speaker 1: members were apparently unaware that the city manager was discussing

2641
02:13:28,160 --> 02:13:32,200
Speaker 1: settlement with the Hidden family. And upon what basis are

2642
02:13:32,280 --> 02:13:34,720
Speaker 1: they talking about settlement a lawsuit hasn't even been filed.

2643
02:13:36,640 --> 02:13:38,400
Speaker 1: Asking the question right out of the gate, does the

2644
02:13:38,480 --> 02:13:41,480
Speaker 1: city manager have the authority to settle this will? Apparently,

2645
02:13:41,520 --> 02:13:45,360
Speaker 1: according to Smith, aman yeah, it's all driven by the

2646
02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:49,040
Speaker 1: legal department. And if the legal department wants to settle something,

2647
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:51,040
Speaker 1: apparently they can do that without the approval of sin say,

2648
02:13:51,080 --> 02:13:58,040
Speaker 1: city council. So legal department reports too, who city solicitor anyone?

2649
02:13:58,680 --> 02:14:03,680
Speaker 1: Right the city manager? So Christopher answering that question which

2650
02:14:03,680 --> 02:14:06,000
Speaker 1: has had me puzzled since Friday in my conversation not

2651
02:14:06,120 --> 02:14:09,320
Speaker 1: only with FOP President Ken Kober, but also Signal ninety nine.
