Aaron Weiner, since a city council 45 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: I thought he had some really sound ideas for dealing 46 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: with the police and pivoting over the police. We had 47 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: FOP President Ken Kober talking about the violence downtown Monday night, 48 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: which has led through the mayor to realize, yes, there 49 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: is an election coming up, so I better do something. 50 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Since I've been ignoring the reality of crime and telling 51 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: everyone that it doesn't exist. It's not a problem. Oh no, no, 52 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: your perception is wrong. There's no crime. It's all down 53 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: in downtown Cincinnati and not. According to his announcement yesterday, 54 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: I have to have Pearlvall says, more actions going to 55 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: be taken to try to halt the criminal problem we 56 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: have downtown. Mayor call it on ongoing gun violence. Absolutely 57 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: intolerable quote absolutely intolerable, close quote the gun violence. We 58 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: had a couple of shootings in the last couple of days, 59 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: but that's been a common occurrence a SAW statistic. Maybe 60 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: it was in the Fox nineteen reporting on the number 61 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: of Based on the data, there have been two hundred 62 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: and twenty five gun violence victims since the beginning of 63 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five January through October fourteenth two one hundred 64 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: and twenty five gun violence victims, most of whom between 65 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: the ages of twenty six and thirty or in the 66 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: other age group between the ages of sixteen and twenty. 67 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: Most of the shootings over the Rhine District one, Winton 68 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: Hills District four, Avondale District four, West End District one, 69 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: Wallet Hills District two, and the Central Business District coming 70 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: in at number seven apparently in terms of volume of crime, 71 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: although you only hear about the violence in the Business district. 72 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: So the civil perv All announced several new safety measures 73 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: since he hasn't really done anything before. The and Corey 74 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: Bowman's were the reactive nature of Mayor a f tab 75 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: Pervall's policies as opposed to being proactive and getting in 76 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: front of them in response to the gun violence, perv 77 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: All announce and policies. First, the civil disturbance response team 78 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: and swat. We'll be on the ground of Fountain Square 79 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: from two pm to ten pm every day. Hey Joe, 80 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: is there violence after ten pm in that area? Yeah? Right, 81 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: Oh no, everyone's going to bed. That's because his curfew 82 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: has been expanded. Hm hm, that's right. Purple Planning Team 83 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: is going to be introducing new legislation to city council 84 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: members to enforce an earlier curfew in the Fountain Square district. Well, 85 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: what about the other areas that are having problems with 86 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: violent crime that I just mentioned in order? I guess 87 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: it sucks to be you. So if you live on 88 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: Fountain Square, I guess you're going to see an increase 89 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: in police presence. It says the warning. Just if you 90 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: are an unsupervised team, he said, and you're breaking curfe 91 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: you we will move you or we will arrest you. 92 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: He says. It doesn't go for just those breaking curfew 93 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: and Fountain Square. He says, it's everywhere within the urban core. 94 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: I don't know what the definition of urban core is. 95 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: I would like to think that if you have a 96 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: curfew in the city of Cincinnati would apply equally to 97 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: all the neighborhoods, because all the neighborhoods apparently are reporting 98 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: some measure of criminal problems. 99 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: And what. 100 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: Concern what parent who really cares about the well being 101 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: of their young people would let their kids run around 102 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: in the city of Cincinnati in the middle of the night. 103 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: Merrik says, it's also talking with SORDA officials to try 104 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: to deconcentrate transportation from Government Square. Give Mary Labus over 105 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: Fox nineteen reporting for the quote that I just read, 106 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: which cracks me up, because Ken Kober talked about that. 107 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Why in the hell are we dumping all of the 108 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: school aged children at Governor Square? He said, you know, 109 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: that's close to all kinds of businesses, businesses that are 110 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: open and stay open in later hours, giving me young 111 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: people a reason to hang around in Government Square. So 112 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: you get different youngsters from different areas of town who 113 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: apparently don't get along with each other. It's almost like 114 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: gang members. They're not gang members necessarily, they're just from 115 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: different hoods. So, yeah, you're from over there, I'm from 116 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: over here. Let's fight, let's have a disagreement. Let's be 117 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: basically teenagers being idiots, which all teenagers tend to be 118 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: idiots from time to time anyway, But when you're shoving 119 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: them all into a concentrated environment like Government Square with 120 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: a lot of things to do around it, you end 121 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: up with a problem on your hands. So Ken Cobra says, 122 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: how about that Second Street transferre transfer area. There is 123 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: a site that was built for the purpose of doing 124 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: exactly what is done in Government Square, except there's nothing around. 125 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: It's this big concrete area, no draw Second Street. So 126 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: if you just move the pick up drop off point 127 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: over to there, there's no reason for the teens to 128 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: hang out after they get dropped off or picked or 129 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: well dropped off. So is that what I have to have? 130 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Parwall's now considering de concentrating transportation from Government Square. It's 131 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: got to go somewhere. Maybe he was listening to my 132 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: conversation with Ken Kober yesterday, don't know. 133 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 4: So. 134 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: Parwall's comments come in response to in the aftermath of 135 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: as a reaction to the shootings happening outside the City 136 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: Bird on Fountain Square, which were reported on Monday, two 137 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: to three shots into the business windows. A sixteen year 138 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 1: old boy nineteen year old man both shot. According to 139 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: police Chief Teresa Thiji, the suspect in the shooting quote 140 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: no newcomer to crime close quote describing him as a 141 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: twenty four year old man who is previously convicted of 142 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: two counts of Flonius assault in February of this year 143 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: and is currently on probation. How's that working out for 144 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: the criminal justice system? And so also perhaps in a 145 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: related note with a nod to signal ninety nine, which 146 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: I would recommend you follow on Facebook, I think current 147 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: or former police officer Signal ninety nine. A woman who 148 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: regularly comments about the realities going on in downtown Cincinnati 149 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: cited this as a connection to crime, although Brittany Ruby Miller, 150 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: the CEO of Jeff Ruby Culinary Entertainment, in this statement 151 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: didn't really necessarily say it was crime that was getting 152 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: them out of the neighborhood. They are leaving the neighborhood. 153 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: We made a difficult decision to choose to close Lempka 154 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: our events space and relocate our corporate offices would share 155 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: a building at seven hundred Wall Street due to a 156 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: landlord dispute regarding safety protocols. She writes. While recent news 157 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: is highlighted the broader challenges downtown, including crime around Fountain Square, 158 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: this decision is unrelated, right sure, it is? It underscores 159 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: how critical strong and collaborative relationships with building owners and 160 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: landlords are during these times. Jefferby's Catering will continue to 161 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: operate out of our existing restaurants, and we remain deeply 162 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: committed to the City of Cincinnati and look forward to 163 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: sharing our updates soon. But this is that statement from 164 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: yesterday saying that we're closing this facility and moving someplace else. 165 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: Notice that she didn't specify where they're moving. But Brittany 166 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: gave a statement to Fox nineteen about the violence specifically, 167 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: aside from the closing announcement, this is a separate statement. 168 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: Like so many community leaders and citizens, I am deeply 169 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: frustrated not only by the violence of the Curtain Fountain 170 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: Square last night, the shooting at City Bard, but also 171 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: by the continued pattern of crime our city has experienced 172 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: in recent months. She said. Over the past three months, 173 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: I dedicated significant time in meeting bi weekly with the 174 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: Mayor and staying in close communication with sin Say Please 175 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: Department in Hamil County, share ourselfice Governor Mike Dwinesteam Senators 176 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: Marino in Houston, including conversations as recent as this morning yesterday. 177 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that with the next twenty four hours there 178 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: will be an announcement outlining a robust strategy to aggress 179 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: these ongoing issues crime, which Mayor afteb Perval did in 180 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: making his announcement. While we may not always see eye 181 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: to ie, am grateful to our city leadership listens and 182 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: remains open to feedback. I also want to acknowledge she 183 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: writes that I am not the only business leader stepping up. 184 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: This has been a heavy lift for all of us, 185 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: and many key leaders across our cities share the sentiment 186 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: and are working tirelessly behind the scenes to drive meaningful 187 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: change and restore safety and confidence downtown. And then skipping 188 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: ahead the closing sentence, and I thought this was rather revealing. 189 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 1: And it's open voting right now, Hamilton County Board of Elections. 190 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: Head on over and vote. The November election is fast approaching. 191 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: And here's what her closing sentence was. Change only happens 192 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: when the pain of staying the same exceeds the pain 193 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: of change. And to the voters in the City of Cincinnati, 194 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: do you plan on staying the same or has the 195 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: pain exceeded the pain that you may or perhaps may 196 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: not feel if you vote for a change if things 197 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: aren't good now and you have an opportunity to go 198 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: in a different direct action. As Corey Bowman said, anything 199 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: that you flat out disagree with with regard to his 200 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: perceptions of crime and his ideas about how to deal 201 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, nothing frightening there. Five eighteen fifty five 202 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: Care see the talk station.

Five and three seven eight hundred two three talk. 210 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: I just got an email from a judge Editapolitano saying 211 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: he's going to really miss our conversation this morning. He 212 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: is traveling abroad and just wanted to reply to the 213 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: good judge there. Jay, thanks for calling this morning. Welcome 214 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: back my friend. 215 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 6: Hey, thanks Brian, glad you're failing better? 216 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: Oh amazing, Like night and day man crazy. 217 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 6: My kid went through that and we didn't know what 218 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 6: was going on and going on YouTube found that same 219 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 6: procedure and it's amazing. 220 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 7: So I didn't think of it. 221 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 6: Some other smarter collar did, which is a good reason. 222 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 6: You've got a lot of callers out there, some brighter 223 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 6: than others. 224 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: So if you are experiencing this, it's a vertigo. It's 225 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: like positional vertigo, I think, is what they call it. 226 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 7: Bpp V. 227 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: Look up Epley ep l e Y maneuver. It's easy. 228 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: Lay on the side of the bed. It takes like 229 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: five minutes to go through the whole thing. And I 230 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: did it twice yesterday and I am completely vertigo free. 231 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: So I may have to do this from time to time, 232 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: but it is considered the gold standard to deal with it. 233 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: There are no drugs that can hear the problem. There's 234 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: nothing else you can really do. But if you've got this, 235 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: it's it worked. So thank you to my listener who 236 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: identified the problem. Then whoever recommended Epley maneuver. I found 237 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: it on YouTube, so there you have it. 238 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 6: Jay, Well, good, well, I want to just give the 239 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 6: daily update. We're up to seventy billion dollars saved. However, however, 240 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 6: twenty billion dollars was given to Argentina by President Trump yesterday. 241 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get all that. 242 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, we're going to buy their democracy. It's a I 243 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 6: don't know if you've ever heard about this or not, 244 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 6: but it's a proven track record. You could take a 245 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 6: look at North Vietnam, North Korea, around the globe. I 246 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 6: think probably even we threw money at China once upon 247 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 6: a time. It works out really well. Did you just 248 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 6: take taxpair dollars and throw it at a country that 249 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 6: might be teetering to go back to socialism or communism 250 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 6: and not, you know, choose freedom. You take tax pair 251 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 6: of dollars and you throw it at them, and it 252 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 6: works every time it's tried. 253 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: Hey, Jay, is just like paying young people to not 254 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: commit crimes? 255 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so. I think so. 256 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 6: It's like a guy like a gun buy back. It's 257 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 6: all good, all good government ideas. Speaking of which I 258 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 6: thought yesterday you said it very succinctly about the property tax, 259 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 6: and I don't remember exactly how you said it, but 260 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 6: more or less I'm going to paraphrase it, maybe to 261 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 6: kind of bound it or put it in a box. 262 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 6: A little bit better is that whenever people run for government, 263 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 6: they've asked for the job. Just like in my career, 264 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 6: there have been times where I have walked into businesses 265 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 6: that have been on fire bad. One was losing thirty 266 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 6: million dollars a year, was a cash cow and then 267 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 6: all of a sudden losing money. And when you take 268 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 6: those jobs, you know it's risk high reward. You're going 269 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 6: to be part of the turnaround team or you're not 270 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 6: going to be there very long. They will find someone 271 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 6: else who can figure out how to manage the business 272 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 6: to get it back on its feat And that's exactly 273 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 6: what we heard your number one. We did Okay, we 274 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 6: were still losing money, and word on high came down, 275 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 6: are you guys the team or just another team, because 276 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 6: we'll have to go find other people if you don't 277 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 6: get it together. We didn't make the problem, but we 278 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 6: asked for the job. And same thing with everybody who's 279 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 6: sitting up in Columbus doing nothing. They've had twenty years 280 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 6: and is still I still don't even understand why we 281 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 6: have to do a petition drive when the Supreme Court 282 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 6: said you can't fund schools through property tax? Where is 283 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 6: the is the Attorney General the right person who would 284 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 6: be stepping in on this bride? Who is the right person? 285 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: I think we lack an enforcement mechanism. You know, the 286 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: whole concept of standing to go into court. You might think, well, 287 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: they're violating the Supreme Court ruling that says our current 288 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: funding mechanism is unconstitutional. That, Jay, you could stand up 289 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: and say, I want to be the plaintiff who sues 290 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: the State of Ohio for failing to heed the Supreme 291 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: Court decision and reform our school funding mechanism. But I 292 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: don't think you have standing to do that. Who does 293 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: maybe at one of the elected officials probably reluctant to 294 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: engage that. But it's a very complicated issue, as evidence 295 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: by the fact that more than two decades have passed 296 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: since we were told our current funding mechanisms unconstitutional. So yeah, would. 297 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 6: It be something that it was just that easy if 298 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 6: some person would raise their hand or probably apearing General's office, 299 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 6: it's a hey, I'd like it. 300 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: Sounds like a great idea, Jay, And nobody wants to 301 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: gravitate towards that than me. Until you realize that we 302 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: have three hundred and forty million people in our country 303 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: and probably half of them would run into court and 304 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: start trying to enforce what they perceived to be a 305 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: violation of the law, because well, they formerly lack standing 306 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: and run into court to do that. Yeah, I think 307 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: there would be an overwhelming number of people. There's some 308 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: middle ground in there. I don't know how to reach 309 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: the middle grounds where we can have a rational lawsuit, Like, 310 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: wait a second, doesn't it seem ripe for a resolution 311 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: in court if our elected officials are continuing to violate 312 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: the law. 313 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know, it might might be a great 314 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 6: question for AFT along. And I don't mean to, like, 315 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 6: you know, tell you what to do on your show, 316 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 6: but I would also love for AFT. They did such 317 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 6: a great job with that Foyer request years ago where 318 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 6: they forced the government to reveal Medicaid fraud by state. 319 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 6: They call it improper payments. That's cleaning up the right word, 320 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 6: which is fraud. 321 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: They were hurry up out of the time, you know, hurry up, 322 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: r out of time. 323 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 6: All right, all right, Hey, don't vote Rhino, don't vote Democrat, 324 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 6: And as Bobby says, don't feed the pig. 325 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 7: Have a good day, Brian. 326 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to push you to the conclusion, but we 327 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: had to get there. Five twenty eight fifty five care 328 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: see the Talk stations A Happy One Big Picture with 329 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: Jack Evan at seven oh five, our first guest on 330 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: the morning show.

And so if you 338 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 9: have a loyalty thing with a particular national chain, you 339 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 9: get it into two thirties. Wow, yep, yes, so good, 340 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 9: good stuff. 341 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: I wish I had a cost of living calculator and 342 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: I could calculate how much a gallon of gas was, 343 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: say ten years ago, and compared to today. So I 344 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: suspect well cheaper today than it was ten years ago. 345 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, if I remember correctly Trump's last term, there was 346 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 9: an average price thrown around and it was into two thirties. 347 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 9: So yeah, bad. 348 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: For the value of the dollar has decreased dramatically since 349 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: we threw like eight trillion dollars of printed currency into 350 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: these systems since then. 351 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just money, It's just money. Yeah, it's theirs. 352 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 9: It's it's just money. It's only money, right, Brian, Yeah, exactly. 353 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 9: But but let's get Jay back in here talking with you. 354 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 9: It's uh, I wanted to switch gears real quick. We're 355 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 9: talking about the crime uh down downtown, and I there's 356 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 9: there's a lot of things that contribute to the crime everywhere, 357 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 9: not not just in Cincinnati. But we we had a 358 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 9: particular incident on one of our job sites. We're a 359 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 9: young man and and this story is about this young man. 360 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 9: It's not about everybody else that's like him. I want 361 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 9: to make that clear to anybody listening. So young man 362 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 9: comes on the job site. He is in clear violation 363 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 9: of one of our safety rules, which we we we 364 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 9: have been hammering for a long time. Just there's things 365 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 9: that we have to do at work safety wise, and 366 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 9: it's not optional, it's not negotiable. Uh So uh, he 367 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 9: comes in in the morning, he's a clear violation. He's 368 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 9: asked to leave, go home and try this again. One 369 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 9: of the things that we have at our disposal is 370 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 9: foreman for corrective measures is send people home. Right you're 371 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 9: you're you're done for the day, whether it's half a 372 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 9: day or whatever. You know, go home. You violated a rule, 373 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 9: and it's and it's a rather egregious rule. Will this 374 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 9: young man decides he doesn't want to go home, and 375 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 9: he decides to make a scene, and what a scene 376 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 9: it was, and just absolutely go off on anyone and 377 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 9: everyone that he could possibly think of, and and uh, 378 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 9: just raise a big ruckus make there in front of 379 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 9: everybody else. And it's just a young black man. And 380 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 9: he decides to turn things racial and accuse people of 381 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 9: being racist because he's being sent home, uh, for violating 382 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 9: a rule that he violated. Nobody made him do anything, 383 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 9: nobody else contributed to it. He's the one that broke 384 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 9: this rule. 385 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: And I presume the rule, the rule was and they 386 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: he violated had no connection with his race. 387 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 10: Absolutely. 388 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 9: Other people of other races have all have been sent 389 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 9: home very recently by the same foreman. So it's you know, 390 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 9: but this guy, he decides that that's what where he's 391 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 9: gonna go with it to the to the point where 392 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 9: I mean, he it took a while to give him 393 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 9: off the job, and that's the shase. But it's it's 394 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 9: it's you're violating a rule, a well known rule. It's 395 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 9: obvious that you need to do these things. We've made 396 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 9: it very clear to you. We've had discussions upon discussions 397 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 9: and it and it turns to like races and excuse 398 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 9: and so again, this story is about this young man 399 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 9: and and what we and I and I know this 400 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 9: young man. I I've I've met him, I've he's worked 401 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 9: on jobs I've been on before, I've dealt with stuff 402 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 9: with him. You know, Uh, it's not a shot what happened, 403 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 9: but uh, now determined to go a little farther, whether 404 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 9: we have seen other other things happen in our community 405 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 9: and in the country where racism is being brought up 406 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 9: for excuses. It's a it's a deflection, it's an excuse, 407 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 9: it's a reason and it and and it's been drummed 408 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 9: into people's heads by the left that race is an excuse. 409 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 9: There are some terrible things that have happened, absolutely no 410 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 9: one's denying it. There is racism that has gone on systemically, 411 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 9: and there are still things that happen daily that are racist. 412 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 9: But it is not an excuse. And when you pull 413 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 9: it out of thin air and apply it to something 414 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 9: has nothing to do with what's going on, you are 415 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 9: making a fool of yourself. You are showing people that 416 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 9: it doesn't matter what is right or what is wrong. 417 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 9: I have an excuse, well, and I'm going to make 418 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 9: such a ruckus that you're going to let me get 419 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 9: away with whatever. And that's just not going to happen. 420 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: No any what else. Tom, and I've mentioned this before, 421 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: you're doing a disservice to those who actually experience genuine 422 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: episodes of racism. You're watering down the argument to delegitimize 423 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: it under all circumstances, Like the boy who cried wolf. 424 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: You know, at one point, it's really going to be 425 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: a wolf, and everybody's going to be sick of hearing 426 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: you screaming about it and not believe you. 427 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 9: All right, And this young man even went so far 428 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 9: as to rip people for being Charlie Kirk supporters, as 429 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 9: if Charlie Kirk had anything. 430 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 5: To do with this issue. 431 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 9: I mean so, And again, this story is about this 432 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 9: particular individual, and I'm not applying this to everybody else. 433 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 9: We have all seen people. We have all seen people 434 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 9: locally and nationally who decide to go off a rabbit trail, 435 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 9: away from a discussion, away from an issue, and talk 436 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 9: about something that has nothing to do with what's going on, 437 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 9: and won't stay on topic because they can't. They can't 438 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 9: defend their position because there is no defense of their position. 439 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 9: And it doesn't matter what side of the isle you're on. 440 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 9: Stay on topic, deal with the discussion, answer the question, 441 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 9: actually talk about the subject at hand, and don't go 442 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 9: off a rabbit trail. It's like people talk about any 443 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 9: given subject and all of a sudden, we're talking about Trump. 444 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 9: What the hell does Trump got to do? And we 445 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 9: you know, it varies so and and obviously the side 446 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 9: that is most guilty of this will be the left, 447 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 9: and they especially going with racism. The race card is 448 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 9: pulled out time and time again when it has nothing 449 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 9: to do with anything, and it and you need if 450 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 9: you're in a position where you got decisions to make, 451 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 9: you have to learn to ignore that stuff. If you're 452 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 9: going into a voting boot, you have to ignore that 453 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 9: noise and that crap and and and get rid of 454 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 9: people who are not doing any good for society or 455 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 9: not helping, who are just coming up with prat throwing 456 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 9: it out there just to make it seem like you're 457 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 9: trying to do something pure boll and, and they're not 458 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 9: really getting anything done.

Always 532 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: good to hear from you, my friend. 533 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 10: Hey, good morning, I come in peace. Love everyone. There's 534 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 10: nothing you can do about it. Amen, Okay, I like 535 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 10: to respond to Tom. He just said about ten different things. Yeah, yeah, 536 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 10: and I'm saying I agree with that. Oh, I disagree 537 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 10: with that. I agree with that. So my head was 538 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 10: going back and forth. Now the stuff I was saying 539 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 10: that I disagree with him. I can help him out 540 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 10: because it seemed like he brought his conclusion from the 541 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 10: way he see the world. But if he's willing to 542 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 10: see it from another side, he may have a different opinion. 543 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: Of James, go ahead, offer the perspective. 544 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 10: Right, right, But when you just look at stuff from 545 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 10: one side and you see the problem, get a solution 546 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 10: from one side, it's gonna all. He stayed there. 547 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you make this point regularly. I think people know 548 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: where you're coming from, James. So tell Tom and explain 549 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: to Tom your perspective so we can put things into context. 550 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 10: Well, there's about ten different things there, so I can't 551 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 10: do it here. I just putting it out there. You 552 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 10: call I like, yeah, I know, that's that's my point. 553 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 10: I like to get it to a bigger, rener, you know, 554 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 10: than just sound bites so it can move on, because 555 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 10: I can't. I can't recall right off what he was saying. 556 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 10: I just remember head say, well, I agree with that, 557 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 10: I disagree, I agree, you know, moving so fast? Yeah, 558 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 10: So that's what I'm saying. Until we, as a community 559 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 10: group or whatever get into a form, and maybe you 560 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 10: should be able to set up something, get a couple 561 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 10: of people we can sit down and have a think 562 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 10: taint that we can have time to break break down 563 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 10: these different you know what out of this group of 564 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 10: people feel that way, so maybe they have him In 565 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 10: the future we could get together. I keep pushing for 566 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 10: a think s to that with a form, and we'll 567 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 10: see we've got a whole lot more in common than. 568 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: We have difference, James, if people shared your perspective on 569 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: how to view life, in other words, put yourself in 570 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: another man's position, try to view things from their perspective. 571 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: Don't come in with one sided view of everything, and 572 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: without keeping your mind open to different perspectives, we would 573 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: all live in a better world. There are forms, there 574 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: are think tanks, there are people harrumphing together around roundtables 575 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: all the time. But quite often you're met with what 576 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: I'll boil down to name calling. You know, It's like, 577 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, you try to engage in debate and a 578 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: minute someone goes in a name calling you know you 579 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: wont the debate because they can't offer anything except to 580 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: name call. That to me is the winning argument. If 581 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: you get someone to call your name, you win an argument. 582 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: But if you just are engaged in exchange of ideas, 583 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: that's a healthy concept. And from my perspective, and I 584 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: think I've benefited immeasurably from being a litigation attorney for 585 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: sixteen years. You know why is because you don't get 586 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: to determine the facts. You're a lawyer. You've got a client, 587 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: here's what happened, defend them. Now. Quite often you're not 588 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: in a position to really maybe want to defend them, 589 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 1: or they're on shaky ground, so you have to open 590 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: your mind up and figure out ways to defend them. 591 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: And that's what you're saying, listen, eight one size fits all. 592 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: Sure they're claiming this, but is there an alternative viewpoint 593 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: to what they're saying. That's what a lawyer does, comes 594 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: up with the defense for a client that may literally 595 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: be on shaky ground. Then you have an obligation in 596 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: your clients say listen, you know you have kind of 597 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: a shaky argument and may be a good case to settle, 598 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: offer them counsel and tell them maybe it's not their night. 599 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: But there's always an argument that can be made, and 600 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: that's what you need to search for. So I've walked 601 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: into cases before where I've thought there's no way, this 602 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: is ridiculous, blah blah blah blah blah, only to be 603 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 1: put in a position where I've got to find something 604 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: that's that going to the other side and figuring it out. 605 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: So it's easy to do, but you've got to be 606 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: willing to do it. And you're right, James, you should 607 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: think about it from somebody else's perspective. As I pointed 608 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: out before, I have no way of knowing what you've 609 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: been through in your life. You're older than me, You're 610 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: a black American man who has lived in Mississippi and 611 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: other areas. You've seen bad things in your life that 612 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: I never have seen. So put that into the equation 613 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: some other person out there. Have you walked a mile 614 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: in James's shoes? At least try to grasp the perspective 615 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: they're coming from and then formulate what you perceive to 616 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: be a better argument or a better solution while taking 617 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: into consideration what that person has been through. Doesn't mean 618 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: you're going to come to a different conclusion necessarily, but 619 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: at least you can address the concerns that the other 620 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 1: side is expressing constructive debate. And I know, James, you're 621 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: all about constructive debate. Five five come up with a 622 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: five efty six to fifty five cascity toxation plenty to 623 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: talk about in the six o'clock hour, and you can 624 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: feel free to I got two words for the United Nations, 625 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: as my dad would say, and it ain't happy birthday, 626 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 1: and talk about that coming. 627 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 11: Up today's top stories.

Save me a doctor visit anyway, what's going 640 00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: on in the world real quick Here just a couple 641 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 1: of headlines that wanted to dive down on to apparently 642 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's make America Great agans bearing a lot of 643 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: fruit real quickly before we get to the UN and 644 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: the two words that aren't happy Birthday I have for 645 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: the UN. JP Morgan Chase announced this week a one 646 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: point five trillion dollar initiative it's funding to ensure America's resiliency. 647 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: As part of the statement to the Wall Street Journal, 648 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: they said, our adversaries and potential adversaries aren't waiting. We 649 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: no longer have the luxury of time. America needs more 650 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: speed and investment. It also needs this is why I'm 651 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 1: reading the statement, to remove obstacles that stand on the way, 652 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: excessive regulation, bureaucratic delay, partisan gridlock, and an education system 653 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: misaligned with the skills we need. So the goal the 654 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: one point five trillion dollar is to invest in job creation, 655 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: economic growth, innovation, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So 656 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: there's one point five trillion pivoting over stillantis. The Carmaker 657 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 1: is planning on investing thirteen billion for US manufacturing expansive expansion, 658 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: domestic manufacturing that's going to result in a fifty percent 659 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,240 Speaker 1: increase in domestic vehicle production over the next several years, 660 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: five thousand new jobs across plants in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, 661 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: and Ohio. Hmm, how about that? Oh and parenthetically, GM 662 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: took a one point six billion dollar hit because of 663 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: EV Sales aren't meeting expectations because apparently no one wants them, 664 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: which leads me to the United Nations. And why are 665 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: we even in this pivoting over the editorial board of 666 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: the Wall Street draw I know I do that, but 667 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: they'll make a great point here, and they revealed this 668 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: to my attention. I thought you should know about it too. 669 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: Voters showing their opposition to the net zero climate agenda 670 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: wherever they get the opportunity, see the war old people 671 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: are moving away from this nonsense. I'm interjecting right now. 672 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: The carbon dioxide is bad for us, but that isn't 673 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: stopping the United Nations, which this week is poised to 674 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: impose what amounts to a global tax on carbon dioxide 675 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: emissions the definition of taxation without representation. The International Maritime 676 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: Organization IMO, which is a UN body in London, hopes 677 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: at the meeting this week, it will secure final approval 678 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: for what they call the net zero Framework for Shipping 679 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,959 Speaker 1: measure what imposed charges per metric ton of carbon dioxide 680 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: that's plant food that ships emit above certain limits, probably 681 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 1: arbitrarily determined by the IMOH. The tax would be one 682 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: hundred dollars or three hundred and eighty dollars per metric ton, 683 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: depending on a variety of factors. That could translate into 684 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: an annual tax take of ten to twelve billion dollars 685 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: going into this United Nations organization. If you've heard about 686 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 1: this at all, and I hadn't, it's probably because the 687 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: Trump administration last week threatened to slap sanctions on any 688 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: country that votes in favor of imposing this tax. Washington 689 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: rightly worries and will increased cost of goods to American 690 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: households by increasing global shipping costs as much as ten percent. 691 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: They do nod and note the irony, setting aside the 692 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: trade policy irony. At least someone in the Trump administration 693 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: is worried about expensive imports might be bad for the 694 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: American economy. The damage from this UN climate tax as 695 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 1: much political as economic. The UN has previously toyed with 696 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: emissions monitoring schemes such as for aviation, and the IMO 697 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: claims this proposal is no different. But this is the 698 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: first instance we can find of the UN claiming the 699 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: ability to levy attax the revenues from which would be 700 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: paid directly into a UN contry trolled fund. Pause. How 701 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: does that make you feel? And I'm sure there's swirling 702 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 1: illustrations of UN corruption in your mind right now. For 703 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 1: the UN system as a whole, roughly ninety percent of 704 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: revenue comes from governments like the United States, which apparently 705 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: funds most of the UN. Why are we doing that? 706 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. Those capitals at least are responsible to 707 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: their own taxpayers and also in a position to impose 708 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: some accountability on the UN. That's Donald Trump basically screw 709 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: you guys. If you don't get your act together, We're 710 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: not going to fund you anymore. Where are all the 711 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: other nations funding the UN? They always fall behind their obligations. 712 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: Why is the United States the only one who ever 713 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: regularly pays their bills? The rest income generated from US 714 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: consulting activities or investment returns in exchange rate movements affecting 715 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: existing reserves. That's ten percent, But this im carbon tax 716 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: on shipping by contract will be paid by ship owners 717 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: directly to the new quote net zero fund close quote 718 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,720 Speaker 1: created by this IMO underneath the UN umbrella. The IMO 719 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,000 Speaker 1: says this money, pot to be managed by agency staff, 720 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 1: would support innovation in green shipping and quote reward low 721 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 1: emission ships close quote. That's bad enough as an invitation 722 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: to opaque special dealing and corruption, which is always guaranteed 723 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 1: by the UN. But the IMO also contemplating using the 724 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: funds for quote just transition initiatives in developing countries close quote, 725 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: and to quote mitigate negative impacts of climate change on 726 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: vulnerable states. Notice them whittling away the countries that might 727 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: be available to tap into these billions of dollars being 728 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: taken from shipping companies for no reason other than to 729 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: rid the world of plant food. 730 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 7: In other worlds. 731 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: This is another income redistribution scheme for whatever ideas the 732 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 1: UM bureaucracy deems worthy. If you think handouts the non 733 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: democratic countries for vaguely defined climate purposes will be administered 734 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: scrupulously in the public interest, We've got a carbon neutral 735 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:28,319 Speaker 1: barge to sell you. Meanwhile, who will decide when the 736 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: tax rate needs to increase and how this task is 737 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: left to a one hundred and seventy member committee under 738 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: the ages of the IMO, that's the Shipping Group. And 739 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: good luck to any voter in Boston, Berlin, or Bangkok 740 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: who wants to influence that debate. It's a bad sign 741 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: that the IMO is even pushing this measure when voters 742 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: in the United States and across Europe are becoming less 743 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: willing to pay the economic cost for net zero climate policies. 744 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: And I put an exclamation point behind that, because this 745 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: reality is unfre to my delight. Across the globe, people 746 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: are finally waking up that this is a scam of 747 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: global proportion, something that knows scamster or frauds there could 748 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: have ever imagined in their wildest dreams. You got to 749 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: leave it up to the likes of Al Gore and 750 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 1: Barack Obama and other climate alarmists to stir the pot 751 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: of this nonsense, to keep these organizations funded with your 752 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars so they can continue to chase their tail 753 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: and lie to you that plant food somehow bad for us. 754 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: Do you ever noticed in the idea of reducing car 755 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 1: emissions that they never talk about truly dangerous emissions, mercury 756 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: and lead and all that. Why, because we've got rid 757 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: of those. The only thing they have less is something 758 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: that you can't get rid of, which is exhalation. It's 759 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: part of the natural environment, it's part of the atmosphere. 760 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 1: Carbon dioxide is necessary for the globe to live and survive. 761 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: Zap CO two out of the atmosphere, all plant life dies. 762 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 1: It's craziness. Obviously, at the tone of my voice and 763 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 1: how I'm feeling right now, this has gotten I've just 764 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: gotten to the end of my rope on this. But 765 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: thankfully again I'm excited about the rest of the world 766 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: coming to this reality. They went on and concluded many 767 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: Western governments, especially in Europe, nonetheless support the IMO Plan, 768 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 1: no doubt because of that unpopularity. It's an attempt by 769 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: climate obsessed politicians to entrench their agenda. Here we are 770 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,560 Speaker 1: before voters in democracies can kill it. There's your task, 771 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: FoST Let's kill this. Let's stick a stake in the 772 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: heart of carbon dioxide elimination right now and stop this nonsense. 773 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 1: This is the kind of national abdication of decision making 774 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: to international bodies that has spurred populist rebellions across Europe 775 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: and the US President Trump, we'll do Americans and the 776 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: electric democratic world a favor if he can scare the 777 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,800 Speaker 1: IMO into thinking twice about this global carbon tax plan. 778 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: Let me ask an out loud question for a more 779 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: informed listener out there who might know the answer to 780 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 1: this question. If we just responded to the UN, if 781 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 1: they do pass this global tax, even though for my 782 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 1: perception they lack the taxing authority, under what law are 783 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 1: we'd be obligated to pay this? What would happen if 784 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: we just said to the UN when they hold their 785 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,799 Speaker 1: when they hand over a tax bill, I got two 786 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 1: words for you, and it ain't happy birthday. Are the 787 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 1: light blue helmet folks gonna come after the United States 788 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: of America? I don't see that happening either, So let's 789 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,240 Speaker 1: do that. Let's tell them where to go six sixteen 790 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: fifty five krs the talk station. Feel free to chime in, 791 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:46,479 Speaker 1: love to hear from you. 792 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 7: See the talk station. 793 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 1: It's six twenty one here at fifty five kr CE 794 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: detalk station five thirty seven fifty five hundred eight hundred 795 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: two to three talk And as I pointed out, GM 796 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 1: taking a one point six billion dollar hit because well, 797 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: EV operations, electric vehicle sales aren't where they were hoping 798 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: they would be. People are rolling back the mandates. Donald Trump, 799 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: of course getting rid of that ridiculous notion that carbon 800 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: dioxide is a pollutant. And another article the rest of 801 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: the world is following America's retreat on EV's a couple 802 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: of points from the article. Again, Wall Street jawn to 803 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,240 Speaker 1: give credit to Sharon Turleup reporting on this most notably 804 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: so we have moving back from EV emission standards. Canada 805 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: Prime Minister Mark Connie paused an electric vehicle sales mandate 806 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 1: that was set to take an effect next year. There's 807 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: another country, in the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Cure Starmer 808 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: provided a more flexible timeline to hit the country's EV targets. 809 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: Segue two, maybe not have any having any electric vehicle targets. 810 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: European Union last month vowing the pressure from automakers, Well, 811 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: it's twenty thirty five target for eliminating carbon dioxide emissions 812 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 1: from cars. They've moved that reality hitting hard in the 813 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 1: US General Motors I mentioned one point six billion dollar 814 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 1: charge because of sinking EV sales. Automaker lobbied heavily this 815 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 1: year to loosen ev requirements. It's a business model that 816 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 1: people aren't cottoning to. There's another point made, death of 817 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,120 Speaker 1: a Clean Energy Tobacca. You can read home in Jenkins 818 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: article on this. Put it this way, hotdog consumption would 819 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 1: surely rise of hot dogs were subsidized by government. Purely 820 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,439 Speaker 1: a conceit, though, is any idea that cheeseburger consumption would 821 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: simultaneously decline? It doesn't follow, And so it has proved 822 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,240 Speaker 1: energy consumption has simply grown overall. Therein lies the problem. 823 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: Energy consumption keeps going up, and the green solution for 824 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: energy demand is a windmill and a solar panel, which 825 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,680 Speaker 1: do not require the energy needed to power America and 826 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: America and the rest of the world's growing, not retracting 827 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 1: energy demands. Oh and look here US army planet powers 828 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,360 Speaker 1: bases with tiny nuclear reactors, the Janics program. How about this? 829 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: And why can't you and I have them? Going back 830 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,480 Speaker 1: to cribbage Mike's submarine or friend Mike's point that he's 831 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 1: made multiple times, we all should take note of the 832 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,839 Speaker 1: American military ships have been running on nuclear power since 833 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 1: the late nineteen fifties. How many accidents none this Janus 834 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,359 Speaker 1: program the Army unveiled, which aims to supply bases by 835 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: calendar year twenty twenty eight with micro reactors, described as 836 00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 1: tiny reactors that generate about twenty megawatts of electricity, which 837 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 1: is enough to power a small a small town. They 838 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,800 Speaker 1: also are small enough to move on a container ship 839 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 1: or an aircraft. How about that to power America's military? 840 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 1: Jeff Waksman, Principal Deputy Assistan and Secretary of the Army. 841 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 1: What resilience means to us is that we have power 842 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,680 Speaker 1: no matter what. Twenty four to seven. Now, who among 843 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:13,799 Speaker 1: us doesn't want that? Is it too much to ask 844 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,400 Speaker 1: and counter your twenty twenty five? With this modern technology 845 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,840 Speaker 1: that has been available for a long time, we won't 846 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,960 Speaker 1: touch with a ten foot pole in spite of the 847 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,839 Speaker 1: fact that, oh my god, it's carbon neutral, produces an 848 00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 1: abundance of electricity, it runs twenty four to seven. But 849 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 1: we can't have that. Why And I've always viewed the 850 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence as bad as it might be for our 851 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 1: collective jobs in the future. The power demands of artificial 852 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 1: intelligence operations are so massive that the Googles of the world, 853 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: the alphabets, the other huge multi billion dollar corporations are 854 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: investing in this technology so they can have their own 855 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: self generated power, much in the way this Janis project 856 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: is going to provide the American military with its own 857 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: self generated power to be on the grid, says the 858 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,839 Speaker 1: American military by calendar year twenty twenty eight, and maybe 859 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: Alphabet doesn't need to be on the grid, maybe by 860 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,840 Speaker 1: next year if they can get approval to get one 861 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 1: of these small reactors. Ask out loud, what's the impediment? 862 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:21,240 Speaker 1: Could it be JP Morgan's point about overregulation impediments to investment. 863 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: Maybe we're realigning right now. Maybe we are in that 864 00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 1: moment and time where sanity will rule the day. Local 865 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 1: stories coming up or phone calls, either the way you 866 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: want to go. It's your choice. First though, it's your 867 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 1: choice to call QC Kinetics. If you've been struggling with pain, 868 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: maybe you've been dealing with it for years. It's impact 869 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 1: on the talk station six thirty one at fifty five KRC, 870 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: the talk station Happy Wednesday, let us see it run 871 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 1: at fifty five KRC dot com where you get your 872 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 1: podcast but also get your right Heart media app. Just 873 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,240 Speaker 1: went over my ratings numbers yesterday with I guess whoever 874 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: my boss is. Thank you very much for listening and 875 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: streaming the audio. I really truly appreciate it. Just very 876 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 1: very solid numbers. Everybody seems to be very happy. I 877 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,400 Speaker 1: got a good annual review too, which means Joe Strecker 878 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 1: also gets a good annual review because he's producer of 879 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,200 Speaker 1: the program. And if Joe Strecker wasn't there, I wouldn't 880 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 1: be here. Over the local stories, you can call if 881 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:27,919 Speaker 1: you'd like, but I'm going to jump into local stories. 882 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: Started out with this one this morning, and it is local. 883 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: So let's talk about since a mayor, Aftab Parvall says 884 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,360 Speaker 1: more action is going to be taken because we have 885 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 1: a crime problem. He's finally acknowledging it's something he's been 886 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: in denial about for a long time, calling the issue 887 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: absolutely intolerable gun violence. So what do we have new 888 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 1: from aftab Parvoll in his reactive mode first Civil Disturbance 889 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:55,760 Speaker 1: Response Team. We have one of those as well as SWAT. 890 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,280 Speaker 1: Apparently we'll be on the ground at Fountain Square between 891 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,919 Speaker 1: two pm and ten every day and they all roll 892 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 1: out at ten pm and that's when the violence starts. 893 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. He says he's going to 894 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 1: introduce new legislation to city council members to enforce an 895 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,800 Speaker 1: earlier curfew on Fountain Square, at least in the Fountain 896 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: Square district, maybe as early as six pm, saying if 897 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: you are an unsupervised team and you break in curfew, 898 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 1: we will move you or we will arrest you. Mayor 899 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,759 Speaker 1: also discussing having discussions with sorta officials to try and 900 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: concentrate transportation someplace other than Government Square. Which go over 901 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,720 Speaker 1: and listen to what Ken Cobra, FLP president said yesterday. 902 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: There's apparently a transportation hub on Second Street that does 903 00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 1: not have any amenities around it. It's just a place 904 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,320 Speaker 1: that's been previously built to do exactly what Government Square 905 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 1: does and it goes unused. Get the kids there for 906 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 1: the transfer. They don't have any reason or motivation to 907 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 1: hang around, unlike Government Square, which obviously has a lot 908 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,879 Speaker 1: of businesses around it. So anyway, those is new announcements. 909 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:02,840 Speaker 1: Oh look, County prosecutor County Pillarts announcing five new indictments 910 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 1: connected with the street racing that involved more than sixty 911 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 1: suspects announced yesterday. The investigation does continue into more than 912 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: five dozen piece people who've been riding dirt bikes and 913 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 1: ATVs throughout the city, causing traffic disruptions. County Pillows said 914 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: police have attempted to stop the group multiple times. They 915 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 1: run red lights, ryan sidewalks and block traffic doing burnouts 916 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 1: and wheelies. Got a handful of folks here, twenty two 917 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: year old Jared Porter, twenty year old Joshua Ludlum, twenty 918 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,560 Speaker 1: four year old d'Artagnan Battle, twenty six year old Devon Metz, 919 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 1: and twenty four year old Isaiah Klein from all kinds 920 00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,839 Speaker 1: of places, from Hamilton, Mount, Washington, Avenel, Sycamore Township, West 921 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: Price sALS, so they're coming from all around. They were 922 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,759 Speaker 1: also indicted on some charges from the September tenth case 923 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,720 Speaker 1: was a separate case. She said. The men indicted chronicle 924 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 1: their activity on social media and in text conversations, obviously 925 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:02,280 Speaker 1: incriminating themselves by ragging about what they were doing. Idiots 926 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:08,719 Speaker 1: doing idiot things because they're idiots, and they put the 927 00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,839 Speaker 1: brakes on government to wines in ninety day executive order 928 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:16,840 Speaker 1: banning intoxicating hemp the THHC infused gummies and beverages. According 929 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 1: to Franklin County judge they well banned that or delayed 930 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: that ban just hours after it took effect, ruling that 931 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: it should be paused for fourteen days because well, this 932 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,920 Speaker 1: requires legislative action. The governor's ban claimed that hemp derived 933 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 1: THC products are unregulated by the state. I guess which 934 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 1: he thought gave rio to his executive authority to go 935 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,399 Speaker 1: ahead and ban something that the legislative brands did not ban. 936 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 1: So and that is a problem. I mean, I think 937 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: this rests, I mean, aside from retailers being able to 938 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,800 Speaker 1: sell these products to minors, and certainly legislative action is 939 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,359 Speaker 1: should be directed along those lines. But I think mom 940 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 1: and dad home, or whoever, is responsible for the young 941 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 1: people as young as five years old eating these THC products. 942 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, forty seven cases of children five years 943 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:14,439 Speaker 1: old and under. In twenty twenty five so far, four 944 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 1: hundred and three exposure cases in children five and under. 945 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: And I'm sure a five year old didn't walk into 946 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 1: some random convenience store and buy THHC gummies. I'm certain 947 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 1: that there was an adult presence that brought those into 948 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 1: that five year old's environment. So regardless of whether the 949 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 1: Wine has done the right or wrong thing. Executive action 950 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 1: is insufficient right now and that'll be litigated in court. 951 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,279 Speaker 1: Six thirty five right now fifty five krc DE talk 952 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 1: station plumb type plumbing.

Representative Ayana Pressley, you know her, 977 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: she's a squad. She's insane. Well, politically I would argue 978 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 1: that she is. Anyway, we can have an argument about 979 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 1: politics and whether socialism slash communism is a better form 980 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 1: of government than capitalism or whatever form of capitalism we 981 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:17,120 Speaker 1: have left here in the United States.

And I know there's Indigenous people out there, 984 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 1: and I have respect for our Native American indigenous friends. 985 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 1: Happy Indigenous People's Day. We are all on stolen land, 986 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 1: she said. And while Republicans try to whitewash American history, 987 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 1: we acknowledge our country's role in inflicting trauma on our 988 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:49,120 Speaker 1: indigenous neighbors. We'll keep celebrating their contributions, centering Native voices 989 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 1: in our policymaking and building more just equitable future. There's 990 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,440 Speaker 1: that word again, echable. It's got to be incorporated into 991 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 1: any left wing statement ever. Well, obviously this broad forth 992 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,960 Speaker 1: lot of laughter, including from me. So I have to 993 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 1: read delicately the statement that I typed on top of 994 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:11,439 Speaker 1: this article because it is FCC non compliant. I just suggested, well, 995 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:16,280 Speaker 1: so are you? If we are all on stolen land, 996 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 1: then you also are an occupant of stolen land. I 997 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 1: know I'm staying in the obvious. You were elected by 998 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: people who live on stolen land, Iana Presley, you live 999 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 1: in the district where they elected you. So if this 1000 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 1: is all such an affront to our Native Americans and 1001 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,920 Speaker 1: our indigenous people, then why are you still participating in 1002 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,680 Speaker 1: this affront to their dignity and their humanity? Move someplace else. 1003 00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: But in so suggesting, let me just offer this pick 1004 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 1: a country, and I bet regardless of what country you 1005 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:58,479 Speaker 1: pick that apparently in your mind isn't on stolen land. 1006 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Let me suggest to you that there's probably somebody that 1007 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 1: lives there, who is claiming that the current occupants stole 1008 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 1: that land from one of the rest ancestors. The world 1009 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 1: is constantly evolving, wars, in societal breakdowns, and I mean 1010 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,200 Speaker 1: you could go through a litany of things that have happened. 1011 01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 1: Mass migrations, you know. I mean, we had this amazing 1012 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 1: influx of immigrants from Europe right on multiple occasions. They 1013 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,280 Speaker 1: came here, helping to form the United States of America. 1014 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 1: But anywhere you go, there is a history to the 1015 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,280 Speaker 1: existence of that country that quite often and in most 1016 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 1: cases involves some sort of turmoil that has resulted in 1017 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:50,120 Speaker 1: a change. So we all are uninherited space, ma'am, So 1018 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 1: get over yourself. The land was settled and colonized. And 1019 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,280 Speaker 1: if you want to say to the you know that 1020 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,680 Speaker 1: that might makes right or that strength conquers the week. 1021 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 1: However you want to view the evolution of the United 1022 01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 1: States of America, it is a part of an evolution 1023 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 1: and evolution that never stops. And I know Christopher Columbus 1024 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 1: didn't discover America. Can get back to leif ericson if 1025 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 1: you want to give credit to some white guy out 1026 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,479 Speaker 1: in the world. But the point is, oh, look, there's 1027 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 1: land over there. It's hardly populated. It's Native Americans, it's 1028 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: indigenous people. They've got a lot of stuff in things 1029 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 1: that we the Europeans or whoever else, and you know, 1030 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,720 Speaker 1: the Spaniards and anybody else who moved into this region 1031 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,400 Speaker 1: of the world, South America, North America. They all saw 1032 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 1: some benefit in doing so, and they did. And look 1033 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 1: at where we are today. Okay, I'm over at six 1034 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 1: forty five right now, fifty five krs DE talk Station, 1035 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 1: Chimney Care Fireplace and stove.

How do you 1040 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 1: use Chat, GPT and powerre you seminar for Michael Mercer 1041 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,560 Speaker 1: at eight oh five, and then Scott Wharton from the 1042 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 1: enquire on the city council race and other city issues 1043 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,919 Speaker 1: five three, seven fifty five hundred eighty two to three talk. 1044 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:16,920 Speaker 7: Let's go to the phone. 1045 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 1: See what Bobby's got this morning. Bobby, welcome back to 1046 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:19,640 Speaker 1: the Morning Show. 1047 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 12: Happy hump Day, my brother Faith Flagging family, you keep those, 1048 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:26,600 Speaker 12: You're always going to have freedom. 1049 01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,240 Speaker 1: As long as you have a firearm, you've got it. 1050 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:30,520 Speaker 12: Well that's just a given. 1051 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 4: My friend. 1052 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 12: Have we had any shootings downtown last night? I know 1053 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 12: we had a lot of assaults or anything. Did anybody 1054 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:38,640 Speaker 12: make it home? 1055 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,560 Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know. Usually if there's a 1056 01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:45,600 Speaker 1: shooting that happens late in the reporting cycle overnight or 1057 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 1: into this morning, just tracker will flag it and identify 1058 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 1: it for me. I didn't get any instant mails from 1059 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,720 Speaker 1: on that today, so maybe we did have a day 1060 01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 1: without a murder or a shooting. 1061 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,000 Speaker 12: We have some assaults and everything. But you know, my 1062 01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,920 Speaker 12: question is is Jesus who reports this from the city. 1063 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 12: I mean, they don't like to report all the assaults 1064 01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 12: and shootings and everything. I mean, how do you get 1065 01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,760 Speaker 12: an accurate report on that from the city. 1066 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I can go back to the 1067 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 1: Clerk of Courts hiding the felony murder dockets from the 1068 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 1: general public, So maybe there is some some of that 1069 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,280 Speaker 1: barying of information and other offices. I don't regularly go 1070 01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:30,680 Speaker 1: to the Hamilon County Prosecutor's office website or whatever. Since 1071 01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 1: the police department website or have I'm not certain where 1072 01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,800 Speaker 1: those things might be reported, but one may make an 1073 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,200 Speaker 1: argument we do have Channel nine, Channel five, Channel twelve, 1074 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Channel nineteen, and we have the Inquirer, a lot of 1075 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 1: opportunities for reporters to look into that and report that 1076 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: information to us. So some of it we get some 1077 01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 1: of it, maybe we don't. 1078 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 12: Do you think an ABC affiliate would look into it 1079 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 12: as hard as conservative affiliate. 1080 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, but if we make national headlines, it 1081 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,960 Speaker 1: usually all some horrific thing like the late July beatdown 1082 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,000 Speaker 1: where Holly got punched in the face for no reason. 1083 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,120 Speaker 1: That gives us national attention. 1084 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:12,640 Speaker 12: Bobby, I'll handicap it tomorrow for the weekend assaults and shootings. 1085 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,280 Speaker 1: Well, maybe you have to have per of all, we'll 1086 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,440 Speaker 1: start pivoting over and say, hey, hey, hey, hey, at 1087 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:23,120 Speaker 1: least we're not as bad as like Chicago or you know, 1088 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,240 Speaker 1: fill in the blank on another city that's struggling with 1089 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 1: massive crime problems. I would note then, that the population 1090 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,280 Speaker 1: of the city of Cincinnati is a lot smaller than 1091 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 1: other major metropolitan areas. So anyhow, let's see here. Oh, 1092 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 1: as Los Angeles declared the state of emergency because of 1093 01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: ice raids. This is preposterous ice raids across La County. 1094 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 1: They've declared an emergency. The county will now be offering 1095 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 1: support to residents who have been impacted by the raids, 1096 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 1: including rent relief and access to state funds for legal aid. 1097 01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Declaring a local emergency ensures that the full 1098 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,760 Speaker 1: weight of the county government is aligned to support our 1099 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:21,960 Speaker 1: immigrant communities who are being targeted by federal actions. Count 1100 01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,960 Speaker 1: of departments order to take necessary emergency actions to protect 1101 01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:29,280 Speaker 1: and stabilize communities impacted by federal immigration actions. According to 1102 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 1: the release, those officials claim the raids have, in their words, 1103 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:38,240 Speaker 1: created a climate of fear, leading to widespread disruptions in 1104 01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:43,000 Speaker 1: daily life and adverse impacts to our regional economy, citing 1105 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 1: decrease workplace attendance, temporary or permanent business closures, and increase 1106 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 1: strain on schools, hospitals, and places of worship. I mean, 1107 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 1: if that's all that is being impacted by ice raids, 1108 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,320 Speaker 1: what are the ice people going after. They're going for 1109 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,840 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants who snuck into this country violation of law 1110 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:06,320 Speaker 1: and have been active committers of crime. Gang members, folks 1111 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 1: with convictions, folks that have been that are literally criminals, 1112 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 1: and if all these businesses have been impacted by that, 1113 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,320 Speaker 1: I guess that means that we've got a lot of 1114 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 1: this element that is working, probably unlawfully in these various businesses. 1115 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Not supposed to be able to hire an illegal immigrant. 1116 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:27,440 Speaker 1: Let's they have a green card, well, that would be 1117 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 1: illegal immigrant. If they have a green card, they'd be employable, 1118 01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,600 Speaker 1: but they are not employable. So you can see California's 1119 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 1: economy apparently relies not entirely, but heavily on folks are 1120 01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 1: in the country illegally, so they're going to get rent 1121 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 1: assistance and free lawyers. Elections have consequences. Folks got an 1122 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 1: opportunity in the city to ames the Dynamic six fifty 1123 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 1: five fifty five Kerseit the talk station. Thank god. Jack 1124 01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 1: Atherden's got to be on next Saving Me from Myself, 1125 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,680 Speaker 1: with Donovan and Eil following up at seven thirty from 1126 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,520 Speaker 1: the Americans for Prosperity Group.

They won't put out 1145 01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 13: some of the calories. Let's jump up and down and 1146 01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:13,880 Speaker 13: celebrate President Trump's epic made the East Peace Deal. It's 1147 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:18,439 Speaker 13: being shocked up to his destruction of Iran's nuclear threat. 1148 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 13: Also to the unleashing of the US energy that's freed 1149 01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 13: us from Joe Biden begging for oil. Everybody remember this, Yes, 1150 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:30,640 Speaker 13: going to Olpeck begging for oil and even went to 1151 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 13: that as well. 1152 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 4: And asked them for oil. 1153 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,920 Speaker 13: I believe it, it's all true, but I think it's 1154 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 13: more than Matt Brian. When the President and his team, 1155 01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 13: when they have gone abroad and they've achieved this, it 1156 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 13: shows us that there's something eluding us here at home, 1157 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 13: something we must regain if America truly is going to 1158 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:54,920 Speaker 13: be great again. I'm talking about consensus, finding a center 1159 01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,840 Speaker 13: common ground, not on every issue that's not going to happen, 1160 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,599 Speaker 13: but on the ones that matter most. Trump's twenty point 1161 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:07,120 Speaker 13: plan has been accepted by Israel and most Palestinians, and 1162 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:12,000 Speaker 13: also by Muslim nations from Turkey to Indonesia, where Barack 1163 01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:17,480 Speaker 13: Obama grew up. They are all embracing this framework for coexistence. 1164 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 13: And that's truly remarkable when you step back and consider 1165 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 13: that no one has been able to bring peace to 1166 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,880 Speaker 13: the Middle East since oil was discovered there in nineteen 1167 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:32,720 Speaker 13: o eight. The prosperity that should have followed, not just 1168 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,960 Speaker 13: for the princes but for their people instead led to 1169 01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:40,240 Speaker 13: dreams of Muslim empire by the likes of you, remember 1170 01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:45,760 Speaker 13: this creep. Egypt's Gamal abdel Nasser oh rallied Arabia. He 1171 01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:49,799 Speaker 13: declared death to Israel, and everybody joined in. When Israel 1172 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 13: beat back Naser, his place was taken by an even 1173 01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:59,240 Speaker 13: bigger bum, Palestinian terrorist, Yaser Arafat, who turned down Never 1174 01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 13: forget this. For decades, the Palestinians turned down a two 1175 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:08,440 Speaker 13: state solution, and then of course we had the Iranian Iatolas, 1176 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,000 Speaker 13: the worst of all, who were seeking a nuclear weapon. 1177 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:16,800 Speaker 13: And all this time, Brian surrounding Muslim nations exploited the 1178 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:20,960 Speaker 13: hatred of Israel to distract their people from their own 1179 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:26,880 Speaker 13: domestic grievances, just as the Democrats distract their followers from 1180 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 13: all of their failings. Donald Trump finally broke this cycle 1181 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 13: of hatred and violence during his first term with an 1182 01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:39,840 Speaker 13: entirely new strategy, the Abraham Accords, named after the common 1183 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:44,080 Speaker 13: ancestor of Arabs and Jews. The Abraham Accords did an 1184 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:48,160 Speaker 13: and run around Hamas and other terroort groups and instead 1185 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 13: offered a vision of cooperation for the entire region of 1186 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:57,800 Speaker 13: Muslims working and trading with Israelis, combining the Arab oil 1187 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:03,519 Speaker 13: with Israel's technological propers and of course Donald Trump being 1188 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 13: Donald Trump, the real estate developer also foresees luxury resort 1189 01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:13,439 Speaker 13: hotels on Gaza's Mediterranean coast. But not even the Nobel 1190 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,479 Speaker 13: Prize Committee would suggest Trump is only seeking peace in 1191 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,599 Speaker 13: order to make money for himself. The consensus our president 1192 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:26,080 Speaker 13: has reached in the Middle East, and from Congo and Rwanda, 1193 01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:31,519 Speaker 13: to India and Pakistan, Cambodia and Thailand, and hopefully soon 1194 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 13: Russia and Ukraine. It's already the stuff of legend. In 1195 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:40,720 Speaker 13: ancient times, bards might have celebrated Trump's victories with an 1196 01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:41,639 Speaker 13: epic poem. 1197 01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:44,240 Speaker 4: The tragedy is that. 1198 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,000 Speaker 13: Back here in America, we are not seeing this kind 1199 01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:51,240 Speaker 13: of shared purpose, this kind of consensus. The poem that 1200 01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,120 Speaker 13: sums up the crisis we're facing here at home right 1201 01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,840 Speaker 13: now was actually written by an Irishman more than one 1202 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 13: hundred years ago. William Butler Yeates called it the Second Coming. 1203 01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,839 Speaker 13: It's not about Christ returning to Earth. Quite the opposite 1204 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:11,080 Speaker 13: in this poem, composed just after the First World War 1205 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 13: and the Spanish flu pandemic that followed. These disasters were 1206 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 13: eclipsed for Yates by an even bigger catastrophe, the loss 1207 01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:27,880 Speaker 13: of shared meaning in the modern world, the loss of values, religion, truth, 1208 01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:32,519 Speaker 13: when you lose consensus about all this, Yates wrote, and 1209 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:37,320 Speaker 13: this is the famous line, Brian, things fall apart. The 1210 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:41,760 Speaker 13: center cannot hold. We used to have a center in 1211 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:45,320 Speaker 13: American politics, a belief that the founding and principles of 1212 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,040 Speaker 13: America were the greatest in the history of the world. 1213 01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:53,360 Speaker 13: What were those principles? That individual rights take precedence over 1214 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:59,280 Speaker 13: big governments of kings, emperors and now leftist elites. That 1215 01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,639 Speaker 13: individual rights must be secured and protected by limited government, 1216 01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:07,800 Speaker 13: as with the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, are 1217 01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 13: all about throughout human history. These truths were by no 1218 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:17,439 Speaker 13: means self evident, but they were here in America. Of course, 1219 01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:20,479 Speaker 13: we could argue about what those individual rights were, and 1220 01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 13: who is entitled to assert them, and how far government 1221 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 13: could go in protecting them. We fought a civil war 1222 01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,479 Speaker 13: to make real the proposition that all men are created equal. 1223 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,400 Speaker 13: Suffragettes then sought a quality for all women. There have 1224 01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 13: been fights over the rights of people with different sexual preferences, 1225 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 13: fights to protect the rights of children in the womb, 1226 01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,439 Speaker 13: and there continue to be fights over the role of government. 1227 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:50,080 Speaker 13: Does government protect our pursuit of happiness or should it 1228 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:55,919 Speaker 13: provide entitlements ranging from public education, to health care, housing, 1229 01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 13: even guaranteed income. Does the federal government have the responsibility 1230 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 13: to secure our borders? How far can the government go 1231 01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:10,719 Speaker 13: to deny taxpayer benefits and expel illegal immigrants now numbering 1232 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,599 Speaker 13: in the tens of millions. Questions like these are not new, 1233 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:18,599 Speaker 13: but we have not seen so much polarization surrounding them 1234 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 13: since the Civil War. There was a time when the 1235 01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 13: center did hold and we could meet in the middle 1236 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:31,240 Speaker 13: to debate. For instance, most Republicans during the Great Depression 1237 01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:35,439 Speaker 13: considered Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to be socialist and a 1238 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,360 Speaker 13: violation of the Constitution. To keep the US Supreme Court 1239 01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:43,600 Speaker 13: from striking down his agenda, FDR threatened to pack the 1240 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:47,880 Speaker 13: court with additional justices. The Supreme Court then back down, 1241 01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:52,560 Speaker 13: and the federal government has kept growing since then exponentially, 1242 01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:58,720 Speaker 13: yet to oppose Roosevelt. In nineteen forty, Republicans nominated a 1243 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:03,479 Speaker 13: businessman from acts gren Ohio, Wendell Wilkie. He kept fighting 1244 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:07,479 Speaker 13: against Roosevelt's domestic agenda, but not in the streets, in 1245 01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:11,200 Speaker 13: the courts, and at the ballot box, while supporting FDR's 1246 01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:15,720 Speaker 13: foreign policy and Brian It's not just Republicans who sought consensus. 1247 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,559 Speaker 13: In nineteen fifty two and again in nineteen fifty six, 1248 01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 13: Democrats nominated not someone from the socialist wing of their 1249 01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:28,200 Speaker 13: party and not a segregationist from their southern wing, but 1250 01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:33,800 Speaker 13: a decent, reasonable patriot. Adlaie Stevenson lost twice to the 1251 01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:38,479 Speaker 13: GOP's Dwight Eisenhower, but that's because Ike built even more 1252 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 13: consensus than Adelaide did. Both parties wanted Ike now. Please 1253 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 13: don't get me wrong, Moderation milk toast. Moderation is not 1254 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:53,760 Speaker 13: the answer the Democrats. Lyndon Johnson was not moderate, yet 1255 01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 13: LBJ worked with Republicans to pass his civil rights laws. 1256 01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:03,600 Speaker 13: Ronald Reagan was not a moderate, but Reagan persuaded reasonable 1257 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:09,960 Speaker 13: Democrats Reagan Democrats to help end the Cold War using persuasion, 1258 01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:14,320 Speaker 13: even when enemies sought to destroy him. Donald Trump has 1259 01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:19,840 Speaker 13: transformed the GOP from the party of multinational businesses selling 1260 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:23,360 Speaker 13: out American plans and jobs to China, into the party 1261 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:27,200 Speaker 13: of a growing middle class of all races and persuasions. 1262 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:32,240 Speaker 13: Trump has also at last protected America from further invasions 1263 01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:38,960 Speaker 13: of undocumented, unvetted, often violent immigrants. Democrats see this as 1264 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 13: a human rights violation. There may be no way to 1265 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:46,679 Speaker 13: reconcile these diametrically opposed visions, but there is a way, 1266 01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 13: in my opinion, to bring the country together by persuading 1267 01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:57,240 Speaker 13: voters and winning elections decisively with a majority big enough 1268 01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 13: to keep the minority from shutting down government. Reaching consensus 1269 01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:05,080 Speaker 13: is going to take free and open debate, the kind 1270 01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 13: Charlie Kirk was bringing to college campuses like no one 1271 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,960 Speaker 13: else when he was gunned down, The kind that believe 1272 01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,240 Speaker 13: it or not. CBS News may once again allow, under 1273 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,560 Speaker 13: its new editor in chief Barry Weiss, who was a 1274 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,560 Speaker 13: fierce critic of fake news when she co founded The 1275 01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:28,160 Speaker 13: Free Press. Apparently dying, CBS once again wants an audience 1276 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 13: that includes us. Maybe I'm not holding my breath, but 1277 01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:38,360 Speaker 13: maybe ABC, NBC, CNN and The New York Times will follow. 1278 01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:43,719 Speaker 13: The alternative to persuasion is what William Butler Yates warned against, 1279 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:49,360 Speaker 13: and I quote could conclude mere anarchy is loosed upon 1280 01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:53,519 Speaker 13: the world. The best like all conviction, while the worst 1281 01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:58,679 Speaker 13: are full of passionate intensity. Brian, I say, let's instead 1282 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:03,960 Speaker 13: get passionate about defending our principles while seeking political consensus 1283 01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:09,760 Speaker 13: and winning elections decisively. What do you say, my reasonable friend. 1284 01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 1: I think you are being quite reasonable Jack, and I 1285 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,800 Speaker 1: feel the pendulum, Like we have a Mississippi James who 1286 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 1: calls fairly regularly. He refers to this pendulum swinging back 1287 01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,240 Speaker 1: and forth. And I feel as though, in this this 1288 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 1: idea of reaching the consensus, we're kind of getting back 1289 01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,040 Speaker 1: to some measure of sanity. You know, with Donald Trump's 1290 01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:31,320 Speaker 1: emphasis on bringing back American jobs and manufacturing and everybody said, 1291 01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,479 Speaker 1: oh my god, you can't do that. It's never going 1292 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,040 Speaker 1: to happen. We've lost the battle to China and that's cheaper, 1293 01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I mean, we've got all of these 1294 01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 1: promises and actual actions of billions and billions of dollars 1295 01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 1: in investments. Delanis just said they're going to do thirteen billion. 1296 01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:49,719 Speaker 1: We had other automobile manufacturers moving back. We had JP 1297 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,599 Speaker 1: Morgan announced yesterday a one point five trillion dollar plan 1298 01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,800 Speaker 1: to boost American manufacturing, which is critical national security. We've 1299 01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:01,320 Speaker 1: got nuclear power plants actually going to be coming online 1300 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,000 Speaker 1: because the needs of artificial intelligence. The answer to all 1301 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 1: of our prayers has existed for years, and yet the 1302 01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:12,280 Speaker 1: left and bureaucrats and regulators have rendered nuclear impossible to accomplish. Well, 1303 01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 1: you know what, everybody's moving in that direction now. And 1304 01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,000 Speaker 1: the American military is now talking about miniature nuclear plants 1305 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,200 Speaker 1: to power their bases so they have twenty four to 1306 01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:23,639 Speaker 1: seven power just in case China might attack us or something. 1307 01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:27,320 Speaker 1: So there's this, I think, the resurgence of what I 1308 01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:31,160 Speaker 1: would just call simple common sense. You know, cut down 1309 01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,519 Speaker 1: the regulatory bears, make it better for us to do 1310 01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,200 Speaker 1: business in America. You're going to benefit Americans. And look, 1311 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, going back to peace in the Middle East. 1312 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was able to get the Abraham Accords in 1313 01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,240 Speaker 1: his first term, and look what he's accomplished between Israel 1314 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,000 Speaker 1: and hamas more Arab leaders coming to the table to 1315 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,000 Speaker 1: sit down and say, you know what, it is in 1316 01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:49,719 Speaker 1: our best interest to play nicely with each other because 1317 01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:53,080 Speaker 1: it's going to help benefit our collective economies and improve 1318 01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:58,120 Speaker 1: our collective lives. It's just it's like a fire hose 1319 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,040 Speaker 1: of accomplishments we've seen just since January of this year. 1320 01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:03,719 Speaker 1: If you just want to look at the last ten months, 1321 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:07,639 Speaker 1: I don't know, Jack, I just feel in a slightly 1322 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,840 Speaker 1: more optimistic mood as I'm looking at the news this 1323 01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 1: morning that I have in quite some time with all 1324 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,160 Speaker 1: the progress that we've been making. 1325 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,200 Speaker 13: You are right, Brian, and you're right about this every day. 1326 01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:20,440 Speaker 13: But one danger we have to guard against is Democrats 1327 01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:24,799 Speaker 13: pretending to nominate a consensus builder who was just another 1328 01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,960 Speaker 13: left wing ideologue. Barack Obama promised there would be no 1329 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:33,080 Speaker 13: red states, no blue states, just the United States, and 1330 01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:37,799 Speaker 13: good old Joe Biden from Scranton. Joe was nominated instead 1331 01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:40,840 Speaker 13: of the avowed socialist Bernie Sanders, who at least was 1332 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:44,240 Speaker 13: honest about it. But Jim Clyburn, Nancy Pelosi and other 1333 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,519 Speaker 13: Democrat bosses knew that Biden was. 1334 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,760 Speaker 4: Just going to be a puppet of the far left. 1335 01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 13: Yeah, so we have to look closely at who they 1336 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 13: put up and get beyond most of the news. 1337 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 4: Maybe Barry Weiss. 1338 01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:57,519 Speaker 13: Is going to tell us the truth, but we don't 1339 01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:58,240 Speaker 13: get it elsewhere. 1340 01:20:58,320 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 4: We get it here. 1341 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,360 Speaker 1: I appreciate at and of course we get it from you. 1342 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,519 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm laughing about Joe Biden being basically 1343 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,840 Speaker 1: foisted upon the Democrats. I think the Democrats would have 1344 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:12,800 Speaker 1: nominated Bernie Sanders and the realists within the party, and 1345 01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,559 Speaker 1: even including Nancy Pelosi saw that as a danger sign 1346 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 1: because no, no, no, we can't go full on socialism 1347 01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,920 Speaker 1: that quickly. We haven't gotten there yet. It's not our 1348 01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:24,000 Speaker 1: moment in time. So let's put Joe Biden in there, right, 1349 01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,240 Speaker 1: And then Joe Biden obviously turns out to be incapable 1350 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:31,120 Speaker 1: of running. So they grabbed Kamala Harris without a democratic process. 1351 01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,519 Speaker 1: So those who scream and cry foul about the loss 1352 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:37,439 Speaker 1: of democracy are certainly the ones that are well not 1353 01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:40,120 Speaker 1: engaging in a democratic process. 1354 01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,760 Speaker 13: I think Brian, they wanted the socialism as soon as 1355 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,599 Speaker 13: they could get it. Yeah, they weren't sure that they 1356 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,760 Speaker 13: could get it with somebody who was as forthright about 1357 01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:49,920 Speaker 13: a socialism. 1358 01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:50,519 Speaker 4: As Bernie Sanders. 1359 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 1: Obama hid it if I may. 1360 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:54,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, As my. 1361 01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:58,360 Speaker 13: Wife Ainsley likes to say, Trump is trying to reach 1362 01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:04,400 Speaker 13: consensushighlighting eighty twenty issues like the border and men in 1363 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,680 Speaker 13: Title nine, women's sports, and so many more issues that 1364 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 13: Democrats can't do that because they're on the twenty side 1365 01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:14,360 Speaker 13: of so many issues, the wrong side. But we do 1366 01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,720 Speaker 13: have to provide an answer to Democrats on one thing, 1367 01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 13: and we're beginning to hear about it now. During the shutdown, 1368 01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:23,840 Speaker 13: We're going to hear it a lot more between now 1369 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,240 Speaker 13: and next November, and that is healthcare. We're going to 1370 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,720 Speaker 13: talk maybe next week about how the Republicans fumbled the 1371 01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:35,519 Speaker 13: ball during President Trump's first term on healthcare, including an 1372 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:40,759 Speaker 13: Ohio senator, it does not have to be socialized medicine. Instead, 1373 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:45,559 Speaker 13: let's immediately do things like making insurance portable across state lines. 1374 01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:49,639 Speaker 13: It's unbelievable that it's not establish health savings accounts. Finally, 1375 01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:53,320 Speaker 13: and enact other measures to make the healthcare market more 1376 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,920 Speaker 13: competitive and truly affordable. 1377 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,839 Speaker 1: Jack Atherton, always great having you in the show.

Welcome back, Brian, always 1389 01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:43,439 Speaker 1: great to be with. You got an award to give out? 1390 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 14: Huh, well we gave. 1391 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,040 Speaker 6: It out, Actually we gave it out last night. 1392 01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:52,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's talk about it went to Matt Speaker, 1393 01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:57,080 Speaker 1: Speaker Matt Huffman, and this is in connection with your 1394 01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,760 Speaker 1: your your efforts with the Buckeye Blueprint campaign. I guess 1395 01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:03,599 Speaker 1: you've been given this award way for several years now. 1396 01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, actually, and I don't know if you recall 1397 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,280 Speaker 6: this brance was years ago, but you actually were there 1398 01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,920 Speaker 6: for our inaugural Taxpayer Torch Award when we gave that 1399 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 6: in twenty seventeen to John Houstead for his work as 1400 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:20,920 Speaker 6: Secretary of State. So this is an award that we 1401 01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,080 Speaker 6: gave for a number of years. It unfortunately got sidelined. 1402 01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,720 Speaker 6: I think no one really knows the lower history of 1403 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:31,080 Speaker 6: white got sidelined, but that was around COVID time. We 1404 01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:35,960 Speaker 6: decided to bring it back though, because of the outsized 1405 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:41,280 Speaker 6: impact that then Senate President now Speaker Matt Huffman played 1406 01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 6: in accomplishing so many important reforms last session into this 1407 01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:51,559 Speaker 6: session coupled with holding the line on some really bad bills. 1408 01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:53,120 Speaker 6: And I'd been on your show and talked about him, 1409 01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 6: but some really bad bills that had moved out of 1410 01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 6: the Ohio House and over the Senate. So just played 1411 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:00,720 Speaker 6: an outsized impact in so many different happy to talk 1412 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:04,200 Speaker 6: about them. But that compelled us to say, Hey, we 1413 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,800 Speaker 6: going to bring this award back, and there's somebody who 1414 01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 6: is well deserving of it, and then hopefully that'll inspire 1415 01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 6: some other folks down the line to try to compete 1416 01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:15,639 Speaker 6: and earn that earn that recognition in the future. 1417 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:17,960 Speaker 1: All right, what kind of factors are you looking for 1418 01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:22,560 Speaker 1: with this and what specifically did you identify with with 1419 01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:23,280 Speaker 1: Matt Huffman. 1420 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,479 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, and one of the things that we were, 1421 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 6: you know, in particular, looking for is bold conservative leaders 1422 01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,439 Speaker 6: who stand firm for reform and deliver results. And so 1423 01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:36,200 Speaker 6: when you look at last session into this year, we 1424 01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:40,360 Speaker 6: expanded school choice for all Ohiolands. Yes, we moved from 1425 01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 6: four brackets down to two, and then just in the 1426 01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,760 Speaker 6: last six months moved that down to one bracket, a 1427 01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:51,479 Speaker 6: flat income tax bracket. We protected folks from costly mandates 1428 01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,040 Speaker 6: on energy bills, and in fact, in just the first 1429 01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,920 Speaker 6: four months of this year unleashed energy production here in 1430 01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 6: Ohio by streamlining and speeding up permitting processes, regulatory reform, 1431 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,519 Speaker 6: property tax relief, which continues to be debated and discussed, 1432 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:10,320 Speaker 6: but they're moving bills on that issue in Columbus. Will 1433 01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:14,000 Speaker 6: be there today actually testifying on one in particular regarding 1434 01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:15,920 Speaker 6: the twenty mill four but and in holding the line 1435 01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 6: on government spending. All of this, right, Brian, these are 1436 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:22,439 Speaker 6: the foundational pieces of our Buckeye Blueprint, and so all 1437 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:26,000 Speaker 6: of that accomplished in the last twenty four so months. 1438 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:28,640 Speaker 6: Much much more work to be done, right, we're now 1439 01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 6: near arriving. But that's the kind of leadership, right, that 1440 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 6: comes from helping elect Buckeye Blueprint champion state representatives and 1441 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:43,679 Speaker 6: senators right who then elevate leadership like Speaker Matt Huffman 1442 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 6: into that position of leadership to provide that vision that 1443 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:49,559 Speaker 6: ultimately helps move us closer to being the number one 1444 01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,640 Speaker 6: state in the nation for freedom and prosperity. 1445 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's hope so. And I know, obviously the points 1446 01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:59,720 Speaker 1: that you made are fantastic ones. I got to cling 1447 01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 1: to the property tax comment because we of course had 1448 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:06,040 Speaker 1: some suggestions from Mike Dwin's Blue Ribbon Committee, which didn't 1449 01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:07,679 Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense to meybe quite candid 1450 01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,760 Speaker 1: with you, but Afterdwine veto the ones that were in 1451 01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:14,639 Speaker 1: the budget. But we're moving fast toward this property tax 1452 01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: appeal next year, and I think more and more people 1453 01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:17,760 Speaker 1: are going to sign the petition to get it on 1454 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 1: the ballot, and more and more people are going to 1455 01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:21,400 Speaker 1: gravitate towards doing that. It's going to force Columbus to 1456 01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 1: do some tough work. And where's Americans for prosperity on 1457 01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 1: that whole pile there? That the whole mess that we're 1458 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:33,040 Speaker 1: dealing with right now. If you guys come up with 1459 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:34,840 Speaker 1: a solution of your own, don't want to put you 1460 01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,960 Speaker 1: on the spot, but I am no quit or right. 1461 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,160 Speaker 6: We've actually been talking about this issue for a while 1462 01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:44,280 Speaker 6: and while eliminating how's income taxes are number one priority, 1463 01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,120 Speaker 6: capping or reforming property taxes here in the state of 1464 01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,320 Speaker 6: Ohio is a very close number two, or maybe it's 1465 01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:53,280 Speaker 6: one a right, and that it's something that many of 1466 01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 6: our our constituents and volunteers have been talking about. 1467 01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:58,560 Speaker 10: Now. What we would like to see happen, right is 1468 01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 10: that the there. 1469 01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:04,639 Speaker 6: Reforms that the General Assembly had vetted and reviewed last 1470 01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:08,320 Speaker 6: General Assembly so just about twelve months ago, have been 1471 01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:12,559 Speaker 6: incorporated into legislation this year, has been debated, vetted, much 1472 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:14,519 Speaker 6: of it's moved through committee, a lot of it actually 1473 01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:16,800 Speaker 6: ended up in the state budget to wind vetoed it 1474 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:19,720 Speaker 6: as probably recall and a lot of that would have 1475 01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:22,960 Speaker 6: helped bring transparency to the system, would have capped the 1476 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:27,880 Speaker 6: ability for these spikes and increases, and would have put 1477 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,719 Speaker 6: some more accountability mechanisms in place at a local level 1478 01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,160 Speaker 6: to get that done. If that doesn't happen, right, that's 1479 01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:36,640 Speaker 6: where that threat of eliminating the ability to levey a 1480 01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 6: property tax in the state outright hang. The concern there 1481 01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:44,960 Speaker 6: right just speaking pragmatically, and it's coming from a guy 1482 01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 6: who works for an organization that advocating to eliminate the 1483 01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,880 Speaker 6: income tax in the state. So I don't like taxes, period, 1484 01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:54,560 Speaker 6: but there's a large shortfall that would impact police and 1485 01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:58,120 Speaker 6: fire and roads and bridges, infrastructure, much of the public 1486 01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 6: services most people kind of look to go govern meant 1487 01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:03,599 Speaker 6: to do, and there's not really a plan to backfill 1488 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:07,559 Speaker 6: that right now. And so what we really I think 1489 01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:09,599 Speaker 6: need to have happened. I think most of Highlands want 1490 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 6: to see have happened, is that we get these reforms 1491 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,479 Speaker 6: into place that give the taxpayer more control over their 1492 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:20,639 Speaker 6: local jurisdiction so that we don't see these unvoted increases occur, 1493 01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:22,599 Speaker 6: that we don't see these spikes, and that when people 1494 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:24,320 Speaker 6: want to understand what's going on with their tax bill, 1495 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:27,320 Speaker 6: they can do it. David Thomas is doing a lot 1496 01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:27,679 Speaker 6: of works. 1497 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:28,080 Speaker 5: They were up. 1498 01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:29,920 Speaker 6: David Thomas from the entire other side of the state, 1499 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:32,320 Speaker 6: from your listeners in Ashton Villa County has doing a 1500 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 6: ton of work and won't be testifying on a. 1501 01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,800 Speaker 10: Bill that addresses some of these issues later today. 1502 01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:38,839 Speaker 6: In the House Waves and Means Committee. 1503 01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 1: What of the notion that we wouldn't have to worry 1504 01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:43,160 Speaker 1: about the property tax if we just were able to 1505 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:46,599 Speaker 1: successfully eliminate all the fraud, waste and abuse that exists 1506 01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:48,800 Speaker 1: in our state government's budget. I mean, I keep hearing 1507 01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:52,080 Speaker 1: this all the time. You know, Medicaid, Medicare and the 1508 01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:55,320 Speaker 1: amount of people who are improperly registered for that. If 1509 01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:57,720 Speaker 1: we just clawed back that money or didn't send it 1510 01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 1: out in the first place, are budget would be much 1511 01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:05,080 Speaker 1: better shape without a doubt. 1512 01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:07,640 Speaker 6: I mean, and that's one of the things that is 1513 01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:10,839 Speaker 6: being worked on, right but it's a massive bohemoth. 1514 01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:11,839 Speaker 5: Not to create excuses. 1515 01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:13,920 Speaker 6: There is a was a proposal put into the state 1516 01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:19,439 Speaker 6: budget that would have the state auditor go in look 1517 01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:24,160 Speaker 6: at Medicaid millionaires and if the Medicaid system is actually 1518 01:30:24,200 --> 01:30:29,120 Speaker 6: properly reviewing in a post COVID era, who is actually. 1519 01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:30,719 Speaker 10: Getting these dollars. 1520 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:34,800 Speaker 6: It's incredibly costly. It's the number one expense for the state. 1521 01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:41,240 Speaker 6: But here's the deal, Brian, in local property taxes that 1522 01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:48,360 Speaker 6: if they're eliminated overnight, that's equivalent, you know, two years 1523 01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 6: of education funding from the setting that comes to about 1524 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,840 Speaker 6: twenty two to twenty three billion dollars. And so it's 1525 01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,960 Speaker 6: a large chunk of money. And that Medicaid audit may 1526 01:30:56,080 --> 01:31:00,720 Speaker 6: only identify about a billion dollars. A billion's a big number, yeah, 1527 01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:02,880 Speaker 6: but it may only identify a billion. There's a lot 1528 01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:05,479 Speaker 6: of work to be done to bring down the cost 1529 01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,760 Speaker 6: curvid government here in the state of Ohio. It's all 1530 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:11,320 Speaker 6: in Columbus. It's the fifty or I'm sorry, it's the 1531 01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 6: thirty nine hundred political subdivisions across the state that are 1532 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:18,360 Speaker 6: the big government behemoths. That's bearing down on the Ohio 1533 01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:19,320 Speaker 6: tax pay right now. 1534 01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:21,280 Speaker 1: No question about it.

That's okay, you 1581 01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:20,720 Speaker 1: brought this back up. But yeah, we had this conversation 1582 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:22,760 Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour. I think was Jay that brought 1583 01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:26,960 Speaker 1: it up. You're right, twenty plus years ago. Ill, it's unconstitutional. 1584 01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:29,799 Speaker 1: Yet no one has done anything to change the school funding. 1585 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,920 Speaker 1: How is that, Bob? How is it possible, Bob, that 1586 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:35,439 Speaker 1: they've ignored the Supreme courts dictate from a couple of 1587 01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:36,120 Speaker 1: decades ago. 1588 01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:40,120 Speaker 14: I don't know, I have I don't either, but somebody 1589 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:43,080 Speaker 14: needs to do something. Yeah, I would if I could. Well, 1590 01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:45,439 Speaker 14: I don't have the money to go to court that far. 1591 01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:47,880 Speaker 1: Well, you couldn't see. That's the point I brought up 1592 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:50,160 Speaker 1: this morning. I think the reason and this is just 1593 01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:52,559 Speaker 1: me speculating. I'll acknowledge up front it could be wrong 1594 01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:56,280 Speaker 1: on this. No one has standing to bring that action. 1595 01:33:56,800 --> 01:33:59,479 Speaker 1: Standing is a weird concept in the law and it's 1596 01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,880 Speaker 1: something with everybody struggles with. But you have to be 1597 01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:05,680 Speaker 1: able to have a unique harm that you personally have 1598 01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:08,800 Speaker 1: something that has impacted you or your organization in a 1599 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:13,080 Speaker 1: unique way that everyone doesn't suffer. If we all suffer 1600 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:15,600 Speaker 1: equally under whatever we're trying to contest here, then you 1601 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,840 Speaker 1: don't have a unique opportunity to contest it in court. Now, 1602 01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,080 Speaker 1: there's got to be some human being out there that 1603 01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:23,920 Speaker 1: can make some sort of demonstration that they have standing 1604 01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,200 Speaker 1: to attack this and go after the state of Ohio 1605 01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:29,760 Speaker 1: for ignoring its own Supreme Court. But though so far 1606 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,280 Speaker 1: and fast forward, you know, I mean, we rewind twenty 1607 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:34,479 Speaker 1: years and wonder why that hasn't happened since then? And 1608 01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 1: that's the only thing I can come up with. 1609 01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:42,840 Speaker 14: It's my understanding is that it has not been stopped 1610 01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,120 Speaker 14: because the Supreme Court did not put an end date. 1611 01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:50,400 Speaker 14: They said, in a reasonable length of time the change 1612 01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:51,200 Speaker 14: should be made. 1613 01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:55,160 Speaker 1: And you know, at the moment in time that that 1614 01:34:55,320 --> 01:34:57,800 Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision was handed out, If in fact that's 1615 01:34:57,840 --> 01:35:01,719 Speaker 1: what it says, who would be arguing that twenty plus 1616 01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:05,280 Speaker 1: years is even within the realm of reasonable How many 1617 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:09,679 Speaker 1: election cycles have we gone through since that decision came down? Bob? 1618 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean, Lord Almighty, That's why that's why I love this, 1619 01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:20,080 Speaker 1: This this threat of eliminating property taxes in the constitution. 1620 01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:22,560 Speaker 1: I just like it as a threat.

Feel free to call ife you like uh 1691 01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:51,840 Speaker 1: in connection with this government shutdown? Yes, the government's still 1692 01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:54,000 Speaker 1: shut down. It's all over these healthcare costs. And I 1693 01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:57,840 Speaker 1: saw this quote from Senator Chris Van Holland Democrat Donald 1694 01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:02,000 Speaker 1: Trump come to the negotiation table. Quote, bring down costs 1695 01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:06,400 Speaker 1: and prices and stop inflicting harm and terrorizing federal employees 1696 01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:09,760 Speaker 1: and the American people. Bring down costs and prices. Oh, 1697 01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:12,080 Speaker 1: is that all there is doing? And what is his 1698 01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:14,960 Speaker 1: solution and the Democrats solution bring down cost and prices? Well, 1699 01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:19,160 Speaker 1: it is to continue to supplement and subsidize through federal 1700 01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:25,320 Speaker 1: tax dollars right your insurance premiums, getting rid of the 1701 01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,519 Speaker 1: financial cap It was four hundred percent of poverty before 1702 01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:30,280 Speaker 1: they well blew them away because of COVID, and now 1703 01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:31,920 Speaker 1: we're back to going back to four hundred percent of 1704 01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:33,920 Speaker 1: poverty level. So another reason you might want to get 1705 01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:36,320 Speaker 1: in touch with cover sincy. If you are now making 1706 01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:40,240 Speaker 1: more than sixty five hundred and one dollar, I guess 1707 01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,040 Speaker 1: then you're going to lose this credit, so that may 1708 01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:49,639 Speaker 1: impact your healthcare landscape. But this notion that this piece 1709 01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,439 Speaker 1: of legislation they're proposing isn't going to cost, is going 1710 01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:55,240 Speaker 1: to bring down the cost it's not touching, is not 1711 01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:59,680 Speaker 1: doing a damn thing to lower the cost of medicine. 1712 01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:02,640 Speaker 1: And in fact, many people will argue, including me, that 1713 01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:05,720 Speaker 1: it actually causes the price of medicine to increase. If 1714 01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:08,280 Speaker 1: you are free from the burden of having to pay 1715 01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:11,120 Speaker 1: for something and the federal supplement's going to go directly 1716 01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:12,920 Speaker 1: to the medical providers, do you think they're going to 1717 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:15,960 Speaker 1: lower their prices or they're going to increase their prices. 1718 01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:21,799 Speaker 1: See the landscape of college education. The more you supplement, 1719 01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:24,160 Speaker 1: the more you pad it, the more that you give 1720 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,320 Speaker 1: people the perception that it's less expensive than it is. Well, 1721 01:40:27,400 --> 01:40:30,320 Speaker 1: the more idea that you're offloading these expensive to the taxpayers, 1722 01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,599 Speaker 1: meaning that the entities receiving the money have no incentive 1723 01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:39,759 Speaker 1: to lower their costs in order to compete. So nobody 1724 01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:44,320 Speaker 1: is lowering the cost of medicine. Market forces might do that. 1725 01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:46,160 Speaker 1: I talk with Eric Trump the other day. If you 1726 01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:47,800 Speaker 1: didn't get a copy of his book, check out the 1727 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,840 Speaker 1: podcast at fifty five ksy dot com. What a great 1728 01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:53,040 Speaker 1: conversation with Eric. And I didn't ask him, but I 1729 01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,680 Speaker 1: did note the cost of litigation, and the litigation that 1730 01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:59,000 Speaker 1: was waged against Donald Trump was relentless from the moment 1731 01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:01,080 Speaker 1: he walked down the steps to the moment he was well, 1732 01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:06,920 Speaker 1: not elected. Some they laugh at that suggestion. No, he 1733 01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:08,880 Speaker 1: was elected. It was stolen. But whether you are in 1734 01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:10,519 Speaker 1: that position or not, we did have four years of 1735 01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:13,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. But I was curious to know about the 1736 01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:17,639 Speaker 1: overall expense. And he was on I Guess Fox News 1737 01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:21,719 Speaker 1: with Steve Doocey just yesterday and he said the words 1738 01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:25,479 Speaker 1: out loud, who among us? And this is one of 1739 01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:27,280 Speaker 1: those there? But for the grace of God, go aye. 1740 01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:31,840 Speaker 1: While Letitia James is screaming now about lawfair after she 1741 01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:35,720 Speaker 1: waged lawfair against Donald Trump, suing him when there was 1742 01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:38,519 Speaker 1: no harm and no damage in connection with his real 1743 01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:42,960 Speaker 1: estate valuations. Talked about that with Eric as well. It 1744 01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:46,280 Speaker 1: was in thesane case. The bank itself said they were 1745 01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:48,560 Speaker 1: not harmed. They've got all their money back, plus the 1746 01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:50,400 Speaker 1: interest that was promised on the loan, and they said 1747 01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:52,559 Speaker 1: they would love to do business with Donald Trump. Again, 1748 01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:55,759 Speaker 1: that's the person who was allegedly harmed by Donald Trump's 1749 01:41:55,840 --> 01:42:00,360 Speaker 1: valuation of real estate. Right, do you know much all 1750 01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:04,599 Speaker 1: that litigation costs to Trump's He said, we probably spent 1751 01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:12,759 Speaker 1: four hundred million dollars defending ourselves against well, absolutely nothing, 1752 01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:16,960 Speaker 1: just because they wanted to take us down, one man, 1753 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:23,439 Speaker 1: one family, four hundred million dollars. And if Donald Trump 1754 01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:25,599 Speaker 1: wasn't the wealthy person he is, he would have had 1755 01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:28,320 Speaker 1: to rely on contributions from people out in the world. 1756 01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:32,840 Speaker 1: I suppose it go fund me campaign or wealthy, well healed, 1757 01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,640 Speaker 1: well connected investors who would probably loan him money or 1758 01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:38,120 Speaker 1: give him money to defend himself and then maybe perhaps 1759 01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:41,439 Speaker 1: expect favors in return. So Donald Trump wrote his own 1760 01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:44,760 Speaker 1: checks and successfully defended himself for four years to the 1761 01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:46,920 Speaker 1: ten of four hundred million dollars. There's a lot of 1762 01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,640 Speaker 1: lawyers out there that're really happy about that. And very 1763 01:42:49,760 --> 01:42:55,000 Speaker 1: quickly here speaking of money, congratulations. You can't take Thomas 1764 01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,160 Speaker 1: Massey down. In spite of the best efforts of all 1765 01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:59,519 Speaker 1: those folks out there saying Thomas Massey's a bad guy. 1766 01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:01,160 Speaker 1: That will be Donald Trump and a lot of other 1767 01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:04,040 Speaker 1: people out there, most notably because of the Epstein files 1768 01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:08,160 Speaker 1: that he wants to release. Thomas Massy reported a record 1769 01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:13,080 Speaker 1: contribution quarter. He reported north of three quarters of a 1770 01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:16,000 Speaker 1: million dollars raised in the third quarter of this year 1771 01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:19,439 Speaker 1: for his election next year, a record quarter for him. 1772 01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:22,320 Speaker 1: His prior record six hundred and forty eight thousand dollars. 1773 01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:25,800 Speaker 1: So he's already got more than two million dollars in 1774 01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:28,160 Speaker 1: the bank for the twenty twenty six election cycle.

But at the bottom 1788 01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:16,719 Speaker 1: of the are we're going to hear from Scott Warbon 1789 01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:19,920 Speaker 1: from the Cincinnai inquired by the Council Race. In the meantime, 1790 01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:21,960 Speaker 1: Empower Youamerica dot Orger is where you find all the 1791 01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:26,120 Speaker 1: empower Use seminar series. They're all wonderful, all very informative, 1792 01:44:26,200 --> 01:44:29,200 Speaker 1: most notably chat GPT. It's a brand new phenomenon for 1793 01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:31,320 Speaker 1: most of us out in the world. It's that artificial 1794 01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:35,280 Speaker 1: intelligence doing the work for us. Michael Mercer is doing 1795 01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:37,439 Speaker 1: the seminars taking place tomorrow night. You can log in 1796 01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:39,920 Speaker 1: from home or I think you can show up yes 1797 01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:43,760 Speaker 1: at the empower U Seminar Classroom three hundred Great Oaks Drive, 1798 01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,599 Speaker 1: or you'll hear Michael talk about chat GPT. By way 1799 01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:51,040 Speaker 1: of background, he's very informed in this obviously this topic. 1800 01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:54,599 Speaker 1: He is the president of Screen Education, which addresses issues 1801 01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:57,200 Speaker 1: at the intersection of digital technology and human well being. 1802 01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:00,479 Speaker 1: We'll get to that, including smartphone addiction, news, met the bias, 1803 01:45:00,600 --> 01:45:04,479 Speaker 1: artificial intelligence, thought research, seminars, and consultant. He, like most 1804 01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:07,520 Speaker 1: of us my age, started out with World book Encyclopedias. 1805 01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:09,360 Speaker 1: Then he spent a decade as an editor and publisher 1806 01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:12,479 Speaker 1: of college textbooks and another decade in market research before 1807 01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:16,160 Speaker 1: heading on over to President of Screen Education, got multiple 1808 01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:19,320 Speaker 1: degrees and again the seminars tomorrow night, beginning at seven pm. 1809 01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:21,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to the program, Michael. It's a real pleasure to 1810 01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:22,439 Speaker 1: have you on today. 1811 01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:24,479 Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Brian, I appreciate it. 1812 01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:27,840 Speaker 1: And an interesting element of your seminar now, part of 1813 01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 1: me wants to say, well, if you're using chat GPT, 1814 01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:34,599 Speaker 1: you're not doing the work and you're not learning anything. 1815 01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:36,360 Speaker 1: It's like you sit there in front of it with 1816 01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:38,200 Speaker 1: your mouth open, a little bit of drool coming out 1817 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:39,640 Speaker 1: of the corner of your mouth. You let it do 1818 01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:42,120 Speaker 1: all the work for you, and then you regurgitate it 1819 01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:45,360 Speaker 1: back to whatever source you're seeking the information for. But 1820 01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:47,960 Speaker 1: you have a different viewpoint on this. You can use 1821 01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,080 Speaker 1: it to learn, right. 1822 01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:52,640 Speaker 3: So that's the point of my talk is really how 1823 01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:57,880 Speaker 3: to use chat GPT to teach yourself anything. That's really 1824 01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:01,799 Speaker 3: the point where I'm coming from with this is I've, 1825 01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:03,720 Speaker 3: as you sort of alluded to this, I've been a 1826 01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:08,080 Speaker 3: sort of an autodidactor. I teach myself things all my life, 1827 01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:13,120 Speaker 3: and I during the COVID I actually spent about thirty 1828 01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:16,559 Speaker 3: five hours studying MR and A vaccines and how they work. 1829 01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:19,960 Speaker 3: I really needed to understand them for personal reasons, and 1830 01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:24,680 Speaker 3: so that was a huge self directed learning project. And 1831 01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:27,280 Speaker 3: I was sort of shocked because I would talk to 1832 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:30,360 Speaker 3: other people, friends and acquaintances about these vaccines and they 1833 01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:32,000 Speaker 3: knew nothing about it. And I could see that they 1834 01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:34,439 Speaker 3: had no interest in learning about it. You know, they 1835 01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:36,439 Speaker 3: almost felt like they couldn't understand it if they tried. 1836 01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:39,320 Speaker 3: So I realized, like, wow, you know, maybe a lot 1837 01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:41,600 Speaker 3: of people don't teach themselves things. And then when I 1838 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:45,400 Speaker 3: discovered chat bots, I'll tell you I esked them that 1839 01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:48,000 Speaker 3: I spent about thirty five hours teaching myself about MR 1840 01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:49,839 Speaker 3: and A vaccines that if I had had a chatbot, 1841 01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:51,519 Speaker 3: I think I could have cut it to fifteen. 1842 01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:54,400 Speaker 1: You know, yeah, well you know what. I have to 1843 01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:57,280 Speaker 1: interject this because we went back and forth with my son. 1844 01:46:57,680 --> 01:46:59,439 Speaker 1: My son is now thirty one. He was in the 1845 01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:03,200 Speaker 1: computer engineering department at Ohio State University, and I think 1846 01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:06,040 Speaker 1: that speaks volumes to his his his intellect because it's 1847 01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:08,120 Speaker 1: tough to get in there. So he spends about a 1848 01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:10,280 Speaker 1: year and a half and then he drops out and 1849 01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:12,519 Speaker 1: we're what are you doing? You're not paying for it, 1850 01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:14,599 Speaker 1: Just get the damn degree. I don't want to sit 1851 01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:17,280 Speaker 1: in front of a computer doing coding. And besides, Mom 1852 01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:21,360 Speaker 1: and Dad, I can teach it myself. And we're like, well, 1853 01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:23,920 Speaker 1: well he ended up doing that. He'd got certificates for 1854 01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:26,320 Speaker 1: computer security. He knows how to code. He did it 1855 01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:29,479 Speaker 1: all himself. He taught himself, so it can be done. 1856 01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:33,320 Speaker 1: And I make this point regularly because he convinced us 1857 01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:37,040 Speaker 1: that he was right. Why spend all the extra money 1858 01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:39,879 Speaker 1: and resources when all of this material is readily available. 1859 01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:42,360 Speaker 1: Why would you spend one hundred thousand dollars to get 1860 01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 1: an art degree when there's countless books on art. You 1861 01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:47,920 Speaker 1: can self direct and learn all you want to know 1862 01:47:48,040 --> 01:47:50,640 Speaker 1: about your favorite hobby without having some teacher tell you 1863 01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:52,599 Speaker 1: how to do it. I think people are paying college 1864 01:47:52,640 --> 01:47:57,760 Speaker 1: tuition for the structure, the forced obligation to learn right. 1865 01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:00,920 Speaker 3: Right right, And that's you know. What I'm going to 1866 01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:03,439 Speaker 3: do in the talk is it's broken into three parts. 1867 01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:06,000 Speaker 3: So the first part, and I feel this is critical 1868 01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,040 Speaker 3: for people who want to teach themselves things right the 1869 01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:11,200 Speaker 3: way that your son did. The first part, I'm going 1870 01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:14,160 Speaker 3: to walk through the learning process. So I've broken the 1871 01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:17,479 Speaker 3: learning process into six steps. You set a goal, you 1872 01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:20,519 Speaker 3: gather information, you vet the information, then you have to 1873 01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:24,280 Speaker 3: do the hard work to understand at a deep level 1874 01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:28,080 Speaker 3: that information. Then you structure it, and then you integrate 1875 01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:29,599 Speaker 3: it into your current knowledge base. 1876 01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:29,840 Speaker 1: Right. 1877 01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:32,840 Speaker 3: So I'm going to walk through this self directed learning 1878 01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:36,439 Speaker 3: process so people understand the process and how it works 1879 01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:39,280 Speaker 3: at each stage. Then I'm going to give an overview 1880 01:48:39,400 --> 01:48:42,320 Speaker 3: of chatbots, and specifically I'm going to use chat GPT 1881 01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:45,360 Speaker 3: because it's so popular, right, But I want to show people, 1882 01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:48,640 Speaker 3: you know, you know, this is what a chatbot is, 1883 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,559 Speaker 3: this is the interface. These are the features that are 1884 01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:55,920 Speaker 3: critical and really helpful in self directed learning. But I 1885 01:48:55,960 --> 01:48:59,720 Speaker 3: think another important thing is to teach them how these 1886 01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:03,320 Speaker 3: so called large language models work, because I think if 1887 01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:06,479 Speaker 3: you can understand how large language models work, you can 1888 01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,960 Speaker 3: be more effective in using chatbots to learn, you know. 1889 01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:12,760 Speaker 3: And then the third part I'm going to synthesize the two. 1890 01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:15,760 Speaker 3: Then I'm going to close off by walking through the 1891 01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:17,920 Speaker 3: each steps of each of the six steps of learning 1892 01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:21,479 Speaker 3: again and tying off, how do you you know specific 1893 01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:24,000 Speaker 3: ways you use the chatbot to optimize your learning at 1894 01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,800 Speaker 3: each stage. Okay, So I think it's really going to 1895 01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:29,439 Speaker 3: be helpful for people to sort of sort of codify 1896 01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:32,000 Speaker 3: this process for people if they do want to jump 1897 01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:33,679 Speaker 3: in and try to teach themselves things. 1898 01:49:33,720 --> 01:49:35,720 Speaker 1: You know, right, if you have a motivation to teach 1899 01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:37,800 Speaker 1: yourself something, this is an ideal class to do it 1900 01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:40,960 Speaker 1: because it is it being the information on whatever topic 1901 01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:44,560 Speaker 1: you want is out there in the world. So the 1902 01:49:44,720 --> 01:49:46,640 Speaker 1: key element that I want to focus on just here 1903 01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:49,920 Speaker 1: for at least a moment, Michael is vetting. You've got 1904 01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,080 Speaker 1: vetting in here, and of course Vetting suggests to me 1905 01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:55,320 Speaker 1: you need to understand how reliable whatever given source is, 1906 01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:57,559 Speaker 1: where the source material came from, so you know, if 1907 01:49:57,600 --> 01:49:59,479 Speaker 1: it's some sort of like learned treatise or it's just 1908 01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:03,000 Speaker 1: made up whole cloth because I keep hearing I mean 1909 01:50:03,040 --> 01:50:06,439 Speaker 1: almost daily, and I'm sure you do as well. Idiot lawyers, 1910 01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:09,000 Speaker 1: for example, who let chat GPT or some other AI 1911 01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:11,960 Speaker 1: program create case law that they don't even bother going 1912 01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:14,559 Speaker 1: back to the original law books or go to Lexus 1913 01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:16,120 Speaker 1: and Nexus or West Law to find out if it's 1914 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:18,759 Speaker 1: a real case law and behold, it's not. It makes 1915 01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:21,080 Speaker 1: up stuff. How do you know? How can you vet 1916 01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:23,479 Speaker 1: what you're reading and know whether it's even real or not? 1917 01:50:23,640 --> 01:50:26,080 Speaker 3: Michael, Well, that's a good point, you know, so that 1918 01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:28,560 Speaker 3: you're getting at the in terms of vetting, that's the 1919 01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:33,439 Speaker 3: you're right, the information literacy judging whether something is accurate 1920 01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:35,320 Speaker 3: and correct, right, So I guess that that's part of 1921 01:50:35,320 --> 01:50:38,720 Speaker 3: the vetting. And one one way you do this is 1922 01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:40,479 Speaker 3: I would say, first of all, don't just trust. You 1923 01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:41,960 Speaker 3: can't blindly trust the chatbot. 1924 01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:42,639 Speaker 10: You can't. 1925 01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:44,320 Speaker 3: So you you know, you've got to go out and 1926 01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:47,000 Speaker 3: cross reference things. You can ask it to give you 1927 01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:49,720 Speaker 3: sources and then you can link to those sources and 1928 01:50:49,800 --> 01:50:52,000 Speaker 3: look at the source and see if you, in your judgment, 1929 01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:52,799 Speaker 3: it's accurate. 1930 01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:53,040 Speaker 16: Right. 1931 01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:58,000 Speaker 3: So information literacy and judging the validity and truthfulness of 1932 01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:00,479 Speaker 3: information is part of the vetting. The other part is 1933 01:51:01,680 --> 01:51:05,320 Speaker 3: is vetting information in terms of determining what what do 1934 01:51:05,360 --> 01:51:09,360 Speaker 3: you given your goal? Right, Since you're the teacher, you're 1935 01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:11,920 Speaker 3: setting the goal, and you have an internal motivation, right, 1936 01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,200 Speaker 3: you want to you want to learn what you're studying 1937 01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:15,360 Speaker 3: for internal reasons. 1938 01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:15,559 Speaker 4: Right. 1939 01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:17,240 Speaker 3: It's not like you're taking a course and the goal 1940 01:51:17,400 --> 01:51:20,360 Speaker 3: is given to you, right, Right, So you want to 1941 01:51:20,439 --> 01:51:24,719 Speaker 3: use your intrinsic goals as the guide post for judging 1942 01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:29,160 Speaker 3: whether or not the information you're you're finding that could 1943 01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:32,040 Speaker 3: be relevant to the goal is actually relevant. So you're 1944 01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:34,640 Speaker 3: going to find there are things like, Okay, it's tangential, 1945 01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:36,439 Speaker 3: I don't really need to understand that at a deep 1946 01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:37,639 Speaker 3: level given my goal. 1947 01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:37,920 Speaker 10: Right. 1948 01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:40,840 Speaker 3: So that's the other part of vetting. So so it's 1949 01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,960 Speaker 3: it's sort of you know both of those things, right, Yeah, 1950 01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:46,639 Speaker 3: judging the relevance but also the validity of the information, 1951 01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:49,200 Speaker 3: and it's it's all going to like primary sources and 1952 01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:52,479 Speaker 3: checking multiple sources to make sure it's it's it's. 1953 01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:55,599 Speaker 1: Truthful and having a fundamental knowledge of what a primary 1954 01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:58,320 Speaker 1: source is also is a helpful thing to have going 1955 01:51:58,400 --> 01:51:59,600 Speaker 1: into the process, isn't it. 1956 01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:02,439 Speaker 3: Well, that's that's true. That's true. 1957 01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:02,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1958 01:52:03,320 --> 01:52:05,680 Speaker 3: So but even that, you know, there's there's a lot 1959 01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:08,640 Speaker 3: of judgment that comes to that because you could have 1960 01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:11,080 Speaker 3: a primary source, but it could be biased, like you know, 1961 01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:12,040 Speaker 3: for example. 1962 01:52:12,439 --> 01:52:16,879 Speaker 1: Like a scientific consensus exactly. 1963 01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:18,960 Speaker 3: I was going to say, a research study going back 1964 01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:20,640 Speaker 3: to COVID. Right, you could have a research study on 1965 01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:24,600 Speaker 3: the vaccines or byromectin or whatever it is, right, and 1966 01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:27,240 Speaker 3: you you have to bring you know, it could be 1967 01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:31,280 Speaker 3: biased science, right, The people doing the study could could 1968 01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:33,040 Speaker 3: have been biased, they could have changed data. So you 1969 01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:36,160 Speaker 3: have to bring some judgment, and you know, there is 1970 01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:40,280 Speaker 3: some guesswork in estimating. It's not a perfect process, but 1971 01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:42,120 Speaker 3: you can do pretty well, I think, you know. 1972 01:52:42,320 --> 01:52:45,160 Speaker 1: So, So for example, if I'm interested in like whether 1973 01:52:45,280 --> 01:52:47,600 Speaker 1: carbon dioxide is bad for people or something, you're going 1974 01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:49,800 Speaker 1: to have research studies would suggest it is some sort 1975 01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:52,680 Speaker 1: of greenhouse gas, and it'll make that conclusion based upon 1976 01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:55,800 Speaker 1: some other scientific consensus. But then again you can ask 1977 01:52:55,880 --> 01:53:00,560 Speaker 1: it to provide an alternative viewpoint of that, can you not? 1978 01:53:00,800 --> 01:53:02,879 Speaker 1: So it would go to other sources? 1979 01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:05,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect, Yeah, perfect point. 1980 01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:05,760 Speaker 16: Yes you can. 1981 01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:08,519 Speaker 3: And that's see that's the great thing about the chat. 1982 01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:11,000 Speaker 3: This is the thing with the chatbots, right, it's you. 1983 01:53:11,280 --> 01:53:15,080 Speaker 3: I basically look at these chatbots as they're they're expert 1984 01:53:15,320 --> 01:53:20,280 Speaker 3: level tutors on every subject, right that are available twenty 1985 01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:22,120 Speaker 3: four to seven. You can access them twenty four to 1986 01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:24,639 Speaker 3: seven and they can speak to you at any level 1987 01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:25,800 Speaker 3: of detail you want. 1988 01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:26,439 Speaker 4: Right. 1989 01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:29,919 Speaker 3: So, so what you're doing is through this iterative process, 1990 01:53:30,080 --> 01:53:32,080 Speaker 3: I chat with these chat bots like I'm chatting with 1991 01:53:32,160 --> 01:53:34,760 Speaker 3: a with a teacher or a person right right. And 1992 01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:38,760 Speaker 3: what it's doing is it's continuously with every iteration of 1993 01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:44,960 Speaker 3: your conversation, it's continuously refining it's understanding of your perspective 1994 01:53:45,840 --> 01:53:47,840 Speaker 3: until it gets to a point where it's it's what 1995 01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:55,080 Speaker 3: I call mirror cognitive mirroring or cognitive achieving cognitive alignment. 1996 01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:55,320 Speaker 4: With with you? 1997 01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:57,639 Speaker 10: Right? You get? 1998 01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:02,600 Speaker 1: Is that you getting an answer you ultimately want, Like 1999 01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:04,880 Speaker 1: an expert. If I hire an expert as a lawyer, 2000 01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,680 Speaker 1: I'm pretty darn certain I can get that expert to 2001 01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:10,439 Speaker 1: reach a conclusion that's beneficial to my client. Can you 2002 01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 1: do that with chat, GPT or other AI resources? 2003 01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:14,360 Speaker 4: You can? 2004 01:54:14,560 --> 01:54:17,040 Speaker 3: It's it's through you know, the more it understands your goal. So, 2005 01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:19,320 Speaker 3: what one thing I'm going to lay out in the 2006 01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:22,240 Speaker 3: talk is how do you accelerate through the process of 2007 01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:25,800 Speaker 3: having it aligned with you cognitively? Right, Sure you can, 2008 01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:29,000 Speaker 3: so you can almost do like a brain dump at 2009 01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:32,200 Speaker 3: the beginning of the project, so it fully understands what 2010 01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:32,760 Speaker 3: you want to do. 2011 01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:34,240 Speaker 10: And this is the thing, Brian. 2012 01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:36,880 Speaker 3: Once it knows, if it knows you're working on a project, 2013 01:54:36,920 --> 01:54:39,800 Speaker 3: say like, I use chat GPT to learn about large 2014 01:54:39,840 --> 01:54:43,040 Speaker 3: language models and chatbots for this for this talk I'm 2015 01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:47,440 Speaker 3: to give right, And once it new that, I'm like, Okay, 2016 01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:50,560 Speaker 3: he's working on this presentation. He wants to understand them, 2017 01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:52,240 Speaker 3: but he wants to understand them at a way, at 2018 01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:54,920 Speaker 3: a level at which he can explain them to a layperson, right, 2019 01:54:55,440 --> 01:54:57,520 Speaker 3: And he himself is not like a tech expert, right, 2020 01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:59,880 Speaker 3: so he has to understanding of that level. It's it's 2021 01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:03,600 Speaker 3: what you're spying and saying, here's the here's the information. 2022 01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:07,360 Speaker 3: Here's how you can present it to your audience at 2023 01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:10,480 Speaker 3: a conceptual level so the average person can understand it. 2024 01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:13,040 Speaker 3: And if you want, I can create a sly for you, 2025 01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:15,800 Speaker 3: you know, to incert in your talk. That's what it 2026 01:55:15,840 --> 01:55:19,160 Speaker 3: starts doing, and so you know, they can be extremely 2027 01:55:19,280 --> 01:55:22,160 Speaker 3: helpful once they really fully understand what you're doing and 2028 01:55:22,240 --> 01:55:24,400 Speaker 3: what your goal is, and how you're looking at the project. 2029 01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:26,120 Speaker 4: You know, it's amazing. 2030 01:55:26,280 --> 01:55:28,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that, and I can see it. For example, 2031 01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:30,920 Speaker 1: again going back to my you know, my days' is 2032 01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:36,760 Speaker 1: a litigation attorney. Sometimes you have extraordinarily complex case. You know, 2033 01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:39,680 Speaker 1: the facts and circumstances and law and elements of it 2034 01:55:40,040 --> 01:55:42,440 Speaker 1: that you really get used to and you're accustomed to 2035 01:55:42,560 --> 01:55:45,200 Speaker 1: talking amongst yourselves with your other lawyers. Everybody gets what 2036 01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:47,240 Speaker 1: you're talking about, you know, but you've got to be 2037 01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:50,080 Speaker 1: able to explain it to a jury who has no 2038 01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:54,160 Speaker 1: idea where you're coming from. You got to boil it 2039 01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:57,480 Speaker 1: down and easily understandable a story to tell which connects 2040 01:55:57,520 --> 01:55:59,680 Speaker 1: all the dots so it makes people. That's it sounds 2041 01:55:59,760 --> 01:56:01,120 Speaker 1: me like what you're accomplishing here. 2042 01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:02,400 Speaker 4: That's right. 2043 01:56:02,520 --> 01:56:05,120 Speaker 3: So after the vetting process, once you decide okay, I 2044 01:56:05,200 --> 01:56:06,880 Speaker 3: need these are the five things I need to learn 2045 01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:09,320 Speaker 3: to understand this, then the next step in my learning 2046 01:56:09,400 --> 01:56:12,360 Speaker 3: process is actually understanding it. You know, you won't fully 2047 01:56:12,440 --> 01:56:14,640 Speaker 3: understanding once you vet it. You still have to go 2048 01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:18,200 Speaker 3: deep into it and understand it. That's when these chatbots 2049 01:56:18,240 --> 01:56:21,080 Speaker 3: can be incredible because you can just keep going back 2050 01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:26,320 Speaker 3: and forth and just keep asking it questions about every 2051 01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,520 Speaker 3: minute thing that you don't understand, and it'll it'll explain 2052 01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:31,640 Speaker 3: it to you at the level you want to understand 2053 01:56:31,640 --> 01:56:34,800 Speaker 3: it or you need to understand it. It'll clarify the 2054 01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:39,240 Speaker 3: micro elements that you're not getting. It'll give you metaphors 2055 01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:41,360 Speaker 3: that help you under I want to give you an example. 2056 01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:45,200 Speaker 3: So these large language models, it's really complex stuff. So 2057 01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:47,560 Speaker 3: I learned a lot more than the average person, but 2058 01:56:47,640 --> 01:56:50,280 Speaker 3: I'm by no means close to you know, being a 2059 01:56:50,360 --> 01:56:54,440 Speaker 3: quote tech expert on this, right, But I was struggling 2060 01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:58,360 Speaker 3: with this for hours, okay, to understand it large language models. 2061 01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:01,640 Speaker 3: And at some point the chat gave me an analogy 2062 01:57:01,760 --> 01:57:04,400 Speaker 3: that just crystallized the whole thing for me. Right, And 2063 01:57:04,480 --> 01:57:07,320 Speaker 3: it was trying to explain, well, it's a large language module. 2064 01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:08,080 Speaker 10: Isn't thinking. 2065 01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:11,840 Speaker 3: It's actually just it's it's using probability to give you 2066 01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:15,080 Speaker 3: the next likely word in its response, So it's it's 2067 01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:18,800 Speaker 3: a probability machine, right, And it gave me this metaphor. 2068 01:57:18,800 --> 01:57:24,040 Speaker 3: It was it said, it's like autocomplete on steroids. It 2069 01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:26,680 Speaker 3: just right, So that's literally what it's doing. It's like 2070 01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:30,000 Speaker 3: on your phone right, when you're typing a message to someone, 2071 01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:33,520 Speaker 3: a text message, it gives you like you're starting to 2072 01:57:33,560 --> 01:57:35,480 Speaker 3: type the next word, and it gives you three options 2073 01:57:35,520 --> 01:57:38,880 Speaker 3: to pick one. It's calculating the most likely next word 2074 01:57:38,920 --> 01:57:42,720 Speaker 3: you're going to use given the context of what you're typing. Right, Well, 2075 01:57:43,080 --> 01:57:45,600 Speaker 3: that's what a chatbot is literally doing it, but it's 2076 01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:49,840 Speaker 3: infinitely more complex. The calculation is infinitely more complex. But 2077 01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:52,440 Speaker 3: it's really just a machine. It's it doesn't you know, 2078 01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:57,000 Speaker 3: it's not thinking, it's not it's not a person. You know, 2079 01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:00,480 Speaker 3: it's easy to anthropomorphize these things, right, I really feel 2080 01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:03,800 Speaker 3: like it knows you, but that Chris lives for me, Like, Okay, 2081 01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:08,640 Speaker 3: it's really just a machine. It's a probability generating machine, really, 2082 01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:09,600 Speaker 3: and that's. 2083 01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:12,680 Speaker 1: That's where the human element is always going to be 2084 01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:15,360 Speaker 1: critical and going through this exact process that you're going 2085 01:58:15,400 --> 01:58:18,400 Speaker 1: to be talking about tomorrow night at seven pm. So yes, 2086 01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:22,040 Speaker 1: it is, and it won't end your job.

How are you doing. 2111 01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing fine, really actually quite well, living my best 2112 01:59:28,160 --> 01:59:31,560 Speaker 1: life right now. Scott, I'm happy to say I love 2113 01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:34,400 Speaker 1: to hear it. This is obviously a really exciting time. 2114 01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:36,800 Speaker 1: Politics is always exciting for people like you and me, 2115 01:59:36,920 --> 01:59:40,360 Speaker 1: Weed dwellers following politics, which is what you do. Of course, 2116 01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:43,120 Speaker 1: with the big race coming up the first week in November, 2117 01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:45,440 Speaker 1: voters going to get an opportunity to maybe change the 2118 01:59:45,520 --> 01:59:49,960 Speaker 1: direction of downtown Cincinnati. Maybe not the election, most notably, 2119 01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:52,640 Speaker 1: let's pivot over and look at the mayoral race. I 2120 01:59:52,720 --> 01:59:56,800 Speaker 1: have to have provol versus Corey Bowman. And what real quick? 2121 01:59:56,840 --> 01:59:58,480 Speaker 1: I got to get this out of the way, Scott Wortman. 2122 01:59:58,520 --> 02:00:01,800 Speaker 1: What does everybody always have to say jd Vance's half 2123 02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:04,960 Speaker 1: brother or jd Vance's brother when referring to Corey Bowman. 2124 02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,680 Speaker 1: It's almost like a default insert in every article that 2125 02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:08,280 Speaker 1: I read. 2126 02:00:09,880 --> 02:00:13,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean that is everything seems the politically 2127 02:00:13,720 --> 02:00:16,680 Speaker 8: at least, and actually a lot of news stories go 2128 02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:19,160 Speaker 8: back to the White House, and I mean it is 2129 02:00:19,280 --> 02:00:23,680 Speaker 8: something that when people look for news and could we 2130 02:00:23,800 --> 02:00:30,440 Speaker 8: see what people read President Trump and the vice president 2131 02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:33,400 Speaker 8: drives a lot of interest. So I mean that's what 2132 02:00:33,920 --> 02:00:34,960 Speaker 8: people are interested in. 2133 02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:38,840 Speaker 1: But he's Corey Bowman I've interviewed him here in the 2134 02:00:38,880 --> 02:00:41,200 Speaker 1: Morning Show many times, I've met him in person many 2135 02:00:41,240 --> 02:00:43,400 Speaker 1: times have been in events where he spoke, and I mean, 2136 02:00:43,720 --> 02:00:45,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't bring up his brother, he doesn't bring up President. 2137 02:00:45,800 --> 02:00:48,520 Speaker 1: He certainly is not campaign as a MAGA person. But 2138 02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:50,360 Speaker 1: then again, he got a tab purval with all these 2139 02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:53,160 Speaker 1: campaign adds with Donald Trump and jd Vance's picture on 2140 02:00:53,280 --> 02:00:55,480 Speaker 1: it telling the residents of the city to save us 2141 02:00:55,520 --> 02:00:57,520 Speaker 1: from MAGA, as if they're going to come in and 2142 02:00:57,600 --> 02:00:58,520 Speaker 1: run things in the city. 2143 02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:02,320 Speaker 8: Sure, I mean it's still I mean, I don't know 2144 02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:04,280 Speaker 8: any way that that's going to not be a big 2145 02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:08,960 Speaker 8: part of the race, since again, the White House drives 2146 02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:13,120 Speaker 8: so many strong emotions and has been very divisive. So 2147 02:01:13,200 --> 02:01:15,879 Speaker 8: I mean, I don't see I don't see that changing anytime. 2148 02:01:15,920 --> 02:01:18,480 Speaker 1: So I don't either. But then again, if I had 2149 02:01:18,520 --> 02:01:20,200 Speaker 1: a record I was running on, I might want to 2150 02:01:20,240 --> 02:01:22,240 Speaker 1: prop up my record and talk about all the things 2151 02:01:22,280 --> 02:01:24,880 Speaker 1: that I've accomplished and why I am a better choice 2152 02:01:24,880 --> 02:01:28,000 Speaker 1: than the unknown, politically experienced Corey Bowlman. I haven't heard 2153 02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:30,680 Speaker 1: have to have Purvoll do that, And of late, the 2154 02:01:30,760 --> 02:01:31,760 Speaker 1: dominant Corey. 2155 02:01:31,600 --> 02:01:34,280 Speaker 8: Has made that argument. Yeah in debates too, as well. 2156 02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:36,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, I mean that's that's really my only 2157 02:01:36,120 --> 02:01:37,919 Speaker 1: point to bring it up. I trust me. I'm painfully 2158 02:01:37,960 --> 02:01:41,480 Speaker 1: aware of how that gets clicks. Maga Trump. That always 2159 02:01:41,480 --> 02:01:44,640 Speaker 1: gets clicks, and of course that can drive clicks on articles. 2160 02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:47,960 Speaker 1: But after Purple has been running around, at least up 2161 02:01:48,040 --> 02:01:50,800 Speaker 1: until recent moments in time, saying that there is no 2162 02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:53,160 Speaker 1: crime problem in the city. Crime is down, it's a 2163 02:01:53,240 --> 02:01:56,840 Speaker 1: problem of perception. And yet just yesterday he talked about 2164 02:01:56,840 --> 02:01:58,880 Speaker 1: this ongoing gun violence in the wake of what five 2165 02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:02,800 Speaker 1: shootings in the last couple days, calling it absolutely intolerable 2166 02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:06,280 Speaker 1: and announcing new measures. He's put in the critical Disturbance 2167 02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:09,000 Speaker 1: Response Team and SWAT team down at Fountain Square between 2168 02:02:09,040 --> 02:02:11,400 Speaker 1: two and ten pm every day. That's something brand new. 2169 02:02:11,720 --> 02:02:14,720 Speaker 1: He's encouraging council members to create an earlier curfew for 2170 02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:17,880 Speaker 1: Fountain Square, maybe starting at six pm. That just happened. 2171 02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:20,480 Speaker 1: A lot of people were clamoring for action earlier. We 2172 02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:23,120 Speaker 1: know we're down on police resources. They've been talking about 2173 02:02:23,160 --> 02:02:25,680 Speaker 1: lateral hires and new classes for a long time. That's 2174 02:02:25,720 --> 02:02:30,560 Speaker 1: a slow, slow process. So I guess because of the election, 2175 02:02:30,760 --> 02:02:33,120 Speaker 1: is he now appreciating the problem that the residents of 2176 02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:34,440 Speaker 1: downtown Cincinnati perceive. 2177 02:02:36,480 --> 02:02:39,560 Speaker 8: I mean, I can't speak like why, you know, whether 2178 02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:43,080 Speaker 8: it's different in his mind than before the election, but 2179 02:02:43,240 --> 02:02:47,000 Speaker 8: I mean it is definitely the dominant issue that's not 2180 02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:53,360 Speaker 8: going to go away, even probably after November, the November election. 2181 02:02:54,960 --> 02:02:58,960 Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean it's something that every day, even 2182 02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:02,080 Speaker 8: with the statistics would show city wide, you know, it's 2183 02:03:02,200 --> 02:03:05,600 Speaker 8: not gone up, but in downtown and some of the 2184 02:03:05,720 --> 02:03:09,920 Speaker 8: urban areas there there is an uptick in crime and 2185 02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:14,760 Speaker 8: then shootings downtown. I believe it's like eight more shootings 2186 02:03:14,840 --> 02:03:19,120 Speaker 8: year the date than last year. But yeah, I don't 2187 02:03:20,360 --> 02:03:21,640 Speaker 8: It's definitely something. 2188 02:03:21,400 --> 02:03:25,800 Speaker 7: That he can't ignore right well, and when you have high. 2189 02:03:25,640 --> 02:03:28,400 Speaker 8: Profile one, I'm sorry, So when you have high profile 2190 02:03:28,480 --> 02:03:31,960 Speaker 8: ones like in shooting right in Fountain Square at the 2191 02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:33,720 Speaker 8: heart of the city, I mean there's no way to 2192 02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:37,640 Speaker 8: I mean that's a lot of people witnessed it, you know, 2193 02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:38,320 Speaker 8: first hand. 2194 02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:40,920 Speaker 1: Well, and then you have this recent development I was 2195 02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:43,360 Speaker 1: just talking about before we we we took the break 2196 02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:47,080 Speaker 1: to bring you on Ruby's closing down its events center 2197 02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:49,600 Speaker 1: and they cited a problem with their lease and the landlord. 2198 02:03:49,680 --> 02:03:53,080 Speaker 1: But they did say it was basically safety related, like 2199 02:03:53,360 --> 02:03:56,200 Speaker 1: maybe providing something like security at the front door, which 2200 02:03:56,240 --> 02:03:58,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have any security. So even though it's the least 2201 02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:03,720 Speaker 1: dispute over security, this boils down to security in downtown Cincinnati. 2202 02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:06,760 Speaker 1: So there's one entity that's now gone, and it's not 2203 02:04:06,880 --> 02:04:10,120 Speaker 1: the first business to close shopp in downtown because of this. People, 2204 02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:12,840 Speaker 1: I mean, people vote with their feet quite often. 2205 02:04:14,800 --> 02:04:17,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, And I haven't spoken with Jeff Ruby directly about this, 2206 02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:20,960 Speaker 8: but from what I saw in the statement though, I 2207 02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:23,520 Speaker 8: think they did make it clear that it was a 2208 02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:26,320 Speaker 8: landlord tenant dispute. So, I mean, I don't know have 2209 02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:29,440 Speaker 8: any inside information on it beyond that, but it did 2210 02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:31,120 Speaker 8: seem like they wanted to make it clear that it 2211 02:04:31,280 --> 02:04:34,400 Speaker 8: wasn't the other issues that were involved in it, So 2212 02:04:35,000 --> 02:04:37,920 Speaker 8: beyond that, I don't know what's driving that decision. But 2213 02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:41,240 Speaker 8: I haven't seen him. I haven't seen him blame crime 2214 02:04:41,400 --> 02:04:42,440 Speaker 8: specifically on that. 2215 02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:45,640 Speaker 1: Well. Brittany Ruby Miller, who's the CEO the and released 2216 02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:48,240 Speaker 1: the statement with regard to that, did talk about the 2217 02:04:48,320 --> 02:04:51,040 Speaker 1: safety at the front door, but I'll grant you it 2218 02:04:51,160 --> 02:04:53,280 Speaker 1: was a released dispute. But in a follow up statement, 2219 02:04:53,680 --> 02:04:56,400 Speaker 1: she concluded with a comment. While first saying she doesn't 2220 02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:59,800 Speaker 1: want to get into politics. She concluded with change only 2221 02:05:00,040 --> 02:05:02,680 Speaker 1: happens when the pain of staying the same exceeds the 2222 02:05:02,760 --> 02:05:06,600 Speaker 1: pain of change. So to me, that's a suggestion maybe 2223 02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:08,720 Speaker 1: a change of administration is necessary to deal with the 2224 02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:09,400 Speaker 1: crime problem. 2225 02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,920 Speaker 8: I haven't seen that statement, but I mean, yet, it 2226 02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:17,960 Speaker 8: does seem like that it could be where she's gone 2227 02:05:18,040 --> 02:05:18,200 Speaker 8: with that. 2228 02:05:18,440 --> 02:05:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. Do you do any internal polling or polling 2229 02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:23,680 Speaker 1: with regard to how things are shaking out? I know 2230 02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:26,840 Speaker 1: it as small as the council race and the mayor 2231 02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:29,960 Speaker 1: races relative to national elections and statewide elections, we don't 2232 02:05:29,960 --> 02:05:32,160 Speaker 1: get nearly as much polling. But have you seen that 2233 02:05:32,440 --> 02:05:34,640 Speaker 1: polling information at all related to this race. 2234 02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:39,080 Speaker 8: No, And we actually looked into that and we put 2235 02:05:39,760 --> 02:05:43,520 Speaker 8: some bids out for some firms that do polling, and 2236 02:05:43,640 --> 02:05:46,080 Speaker 8: we didn't get any bites on it. And I talked 2237 02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:48,200 Speaker 8: with the candidates and no, there has not been any 2238 02:05:48,280 --> 02:05:52,720 Speaker 8: polling on this race. So it's basically just anecdotal. And 2239 02:05:53,040 --> 02:05:55,600 Speaker 8: I mean, you have the primary to go on, but 2240 02:05:56,560 --> 02:05:59,200 Speaker 8: that's about it. So it's pretty much anyone's guess. 2241 02:05:59,720 --> 02:06:02,800 Speaker 1: Well, in addition to crime, obviously that's on the number 2242 02:06:02,840 --> 02:06:05,600 Speaker 1: one conversation talking point with regard to what's going on downtown. 2243 02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:10,280 Speaker 1: We have the I guess four hundred miles of roads 2244 02:06:10,320 --> 02:06:11,960 Speaker 1: that need to be repaid. That's been a problem that's 2245 02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:15,040 Speaker 1: been building for years and years. But when you're out 2246 02:06:15,080 --> 02:06:17,200 Speaker 1: and about and you're talking about this race, do you 2247 02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:20,120 Speaker 1: hear the idea of zoning come up? I know, we 2248 02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:22,600 Speaker 1: had this massive problem with Hyde Park and they revolted 2249 02:06:22,640 --> 02:06:25,160 Speaker 1: and wanted it to be put on the ballot. They 2250 02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:28,560 Speaker 1: were successful in getting the development there, put the brakes 2251 02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:30,880 Speaker 1: put on it. But what of all the other communities, 2252 02:06:30,960 --> 02:06:34,040 Speaker 1: Bondhill and everybody else who's now underneath this umbrella called 2253 02:06:34,080 --> 02:06:36,680 Speaker 1: Connected Communities, which is a one size fits all approach 2254 02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:38,520 Speaker 1: for all of downtown Cincinnati. 2255 02:06:40,360 --> 02:06:43,440 Speaker 8: I hear the zoning issue, like when it comes up 2256 02:06:43,520 --> 02:06:46,960 Speaker 8: in regards to like the community councils, do they have 2257 02:06:47,240 --> 02:06:49,520 Speaker 8: enough input or are they being ignored? And that's usually 2258 02:06:49,560 --> 02:06:53,640 Speaker 8: from people that are like plugged in and engage, But 2259 02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:55,840 Speaker 8: I don't know how much of that is for like 2260 02:06:55,960 --> 02:06:59,360 Speaker 8: the general populace. I mean, one of the big issues 2261 02:06:59,400 --> 02:07:03,760 Speaker 8: when I first over this beat in the spring, what 2262 02:07:04,120 --> 02:07:07,200 Speaker 8: was speed bumps and potholes And it's kind of like 2263 02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:11,400 Speaker 8: the basic services, So I mean I do think zoning 2264 02:07:11,520 --> 02:07:15,920 Speaker 8: is an issue, but I don't know if it's going 2265 02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:18,400 Speaker 8: to move the needle one way or the other in 2266 02:07:18,520 --> 02:07:19,000 Speaker 8: the election. 2267 02:07:19,400 --> 02:07:20,800 Speaker 1: Well Man, moving the needle one way or there? You 2268 02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:23,360 Speaker 1: talk about plugged in and engageing. We got a chuckle 2269 02:07:23,360 --> 02:07:25,600 Speaker 1: out of me on that one. The voter turnout in 2270 02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:28,280 Speaker 1: downtown today is pretty poor. I think what ten percent 2271 02:07:28,520 --> 02:07:33,040 Speaker 1: and maybe fifteen percent. Do you see this election as 2272 02:07:33,120 --> 02:07:35,200 Speaker 1: resulting in a higher voter turnout? I mean, if you 2273 02:07:35,240 --> 02:07:38,240 Speaker 1: had to read tea leaves into as we fast approach November, 2274 02:07:38,320 --> 02:07:40,120 Speaker 1: Scott Ortman, do you think more people are going to 2275 02:07:40,160 --> 02:07:41,200 Speaker 1: actually show up in this one? 2276 02:07:43,000 --> 02:07:45,240 Speaker 8: I mean, this is my first one full time on 2277 02:07:45,360 --> 02:07:48,720 Speaker 8: the city election, but my experience with elections in general, 2278 02:07:49,200 --> 02:07:51,720 Speaker 8: and this could be different because I mean, I think 2279 02:07:51,760 --> 02:07:54,520 Speaker 8: I do think more people in the last I would 2280 02:07:54,520 --> 02:07:57,600 Speaker 8: say ten years are coming out to vote and paying 2281 02:07:57,600 --> 02:08:02,200 Speaker 8: attention to politics. But these off year elections where there 2282 02:08:02,320 --> 02:08:05,480 Speaker 8: isn't like a major but there isn't a congressional race, 2283 02:08:05,640 --> 02:08:09,360 Speaker 8: or there isn't a presidential race, probably not. It's still 2284 02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:12,280 Speaker 8: probably going to be a lower turnout. I haven't I 2285 02:08:12,400 --> 02:08:15,040 Speaker 8: haven't yet spoken to the Board of Elections on their predictions. 2286 02:08:15,040 --> 02:08:18,280 Speaker 8: I don't even know if they have a projection yet 2287 02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:22,520 Speaker 8: on it, but probably it will be better than the primary, 2288 02:08:22,720 --> 02:08:26,520 Speaker 8: but it's probably still not it's probably going to I mean, 2289 02:08:26,520 --> 02:08:30,360 Speaker 8: I don't I hesitate to give a actual prediction, but 2290 02:08:30,480 --> 02:08:32,800 Speaker 8: it's not going to be like in a presidential race 2291 02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:35,160 Speaker 8: or even in a congressional race. 2292 02:08:35,560 --> 02:08:36,200 Speaker 12: I wouldn't think. 2293 02:08:36,320 --> 02:08:38,600 Speaker 1: So don't expect a fifty percent turnout in downtown since 2294 02:08:38,960 --> 02:08:40,720 Speaker 1: for this one, Scott, I suppose we. 2295 02:08:40,720 --> 02:08:41,520 Speaker 10: Can, I would think not. 2296 02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:44,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, but it illustrates the point. You know, 2297 02:08:44,600 --> 02:08:47,720 Speaker 1: in and off your election, your vote matters so much 2298 02:08:47,920 --> 02:08:50,400 Speaker 1: more than it would in any other election cycle. I mean, 2299 02:08:50,480 --> 02:08:51,880 Speaker 1: it's it seems to me it should serve as a 2300 02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:54,440 Speaker 1: great incentive for the city residents to show up and vote. 2301 02:08:55,760 --> 02:08:58,800 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I mean that's what democracy is all about. 2302 02:08:58,880 --> 02:09:01,560 Speaker 8: And as they you know, the cliche goes, but it's 2303 02:09:01,560 --> 02:09:03,880 Speaker 8: the cliche for a reason. If you don't vote, you 2304 02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:05,680 Speaker 8: can't complain, Scott Warmanonton. 2305 02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:06,400 Speaker 7: You shouldn't, at. 2306 02:09:06,360 --> 02:09:09,520 Speaker 1: Least well, you shouldn't, clearly, Scott Wormanton saying, inquire since 2307 02:09:09,520 --> 02:09:12,000 Speaker 1: anty dot commis orre you find, Scott, any other observations 2308 02:09:12,040 --> 02:09:13,760 Speaker 1: you want to pass along to my listeners that you've 2309 02:09:14,120 --> 02:09:17,800 Speaker 1: encountered as you've been following this race, Scott Well, I. 2310 02:09:17,840 --> 02:09:21,520 Speaker 8: Mean, I think the big question this race is whether 2311 02:09:21,920 --> 02:09:24,880 Speaker 8: a non Democrat can get on city council. I mean 2312 02:09:24,960 --> 02:09:27,840 Speaker 8: that's going to be because I think it is possible, 2313 02:09:28,440 --> 02:09:31,160 Speaker 8: but it's it's very tough because it's one of those things. 2314 02:09:31,160 --> 02:09:33,600 Speaker 8: And this is also what's so hard to predict elections. 2315 02:09:34,760 --> 02:09:37,160 Speaker 8: What you hear and see online. Again, those are for 2316 02:09:37,240 --> 02:09:40,880 Speaker 8: people that are plugged in, but isn't necessarily how the 2317 02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:46,680 Speaker 8: general population votes. And so at least in the last 2318 02:09:48,200 --> 02:09:51,760 Speaker 8: like four or five city elections, the Democratic slate card 2319 02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:57,760 Speaker 8: has been incredibly influential on the overall voting public. 2320 02:09:57,520 --> 02:09:58,080 Speaker 7: In the city. 2321 02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:02,560 Speaker 8: So whether that whole true or not, because I think 2322 02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:05,320 Speaker 8: a few people might be able to break through, but 2323 02:10:05,720 --> 02:10:09,160 Speaker 8: whether they will or not, that is I'll be very 2324 02:10:09,240 --> 02:10:10,000 Speaker 8: interested to see. 2325 02:10:10,320 --> 02:10:13,640 Speaker 1: Well as an you know, encouragement for my listeners. Everybody 2326 02:10:13,640 --> 02:10:16,040 Speaker 1: else is considering voting. If you perceive crime as being 2327 02:10:16,080 --> 02:10:18,960 Speaker 1: a problem, there are judicial races that people need to 2328 02:10:18,960 --> 02:10:21,080 Speaker 1: pay close attention to. And you talk about having to 2329 02:10:21,160 --> 02:10:22,960 Speaker 1: be a weed dweller if you don't have any interaction 2330 02:10:23,080 --> 02:10:26,560 Speaker 1: with the judicial system. You're only tangentially even thinking about it. 2331 02:10:26,680 --> 02:10:29,280 Speaker 1: People tend to gloss over the judicial races, but they 2332 02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:30,160 Speaker 1: are critical. 2333 02:10:31,560 --> 02:10:35,120 Speaker 8: Oh yeah. And the issue with why they often look 2334 02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:37,240 Speaker 8: get a lot of attention is because of ethics rules. 2335 02:10:37,280 --> 02:10:40,880 Speaker 8: They judicial candidates are limited in what they can say 2336 02:10:41,080 --> 02:10:43,560 Speaker 8: and you know what they can say in interviews and 2337 02:10:43,640 --> 02:10:46,240 Speaker 8: stump speeches, so they often do get overlooked. But yeah, 2338 02:10:46,280 --> 02:10:49,040 Speaker 8: they have a tremendous impact on the laws and what 2339 02:10:49,200 --> 02:10:50,200 Speaker 8: people see out there. 2340 02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:53,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, no advisory opinions from judges. That's a violation of 2341 02:10:53,600 --> 02:10:56,000 Speaker 1: the rules of ethics. Scott Ortman from the Cincinna in choir, 2342 02:10:56,160 --> 02:10:58,240 Speaker 1: my listeners and I be following you on Cinsinni dot 2343 02:10:58,320 --> 02:10:59,920 Speaker 1: com and reading what you have to write about it, 2344 02:11:00,520 --> 02:11:02,680 Speaker 1: and we'll all keep our popcorn out as we fast 2345 02:11:02,720 --> 02:11:03,480 Speaker 1: approach November. 2346 02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:05,720 Speaker 8: Thank you, Brian, I appreciate it. 2347 02:11:05,840 --> 02:11:08,000 Speaker 1: Always a pleasure, Scott.

I did it at home yesterday. 2353 02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:18,840 Speaker 7: Problem solved. 2354 02:11:19,600 --> 02:11:23,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it takes five minutes, ten minutes tops. So God 2355 02:11:23,640 --> 02:11:26,280 Speaker 1: bless my listening audience, and thank you for allowing me 2356 02:11:26,360 --> 02:11:29,320 Speaker 1: the opportunity to do a little complaining yesterday. It definitely 2357 02:11:29,440 --> 02:11:32,400 Speaker 1: yielded a wonderful diagnosis and result. Not happy that I 2358 02:11:32,480 --> 02:11:35,240 Speaker 1: had to go through it, but I'm a smarter, better 2359 02:11:35,360 --> 02:11:37,240 Speaker 1: man now, and I typically can say that every morning 2360 02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:39,320 Speaker 1: after the morning show because I always end up learning something, 2361 02:11:39,360 --> 02:11:41,320 Speaker 1: and I sure hope you do too.

They're small, and they produce twenty 2377 02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:22,880 Speaker 1: gigawatts of power or something like that, which can power 2378 02:12:22,920 --> 02:12:25,960 Speaker 1: an entire town. The answer to all of our energy 2379 02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:30,800 Speaker 1: production needs. When can we the American people get those cribbage?

Mike, welcome back. 2385 02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:46,720 Speaker 5: That will be a big fat zero zilch nod on, 2386 02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:47,480 Speaker 5: mister Thomas. 2387 02:12:47,800 --> 02:12:49,120 Speaker 1: That's what I thought you'd say. 2388 02:12:50,120 --> 02:12:53,880 Speaker 5: Every submarine since nineteen fifty four and every aircraft carrier 2389 02:12:54,000 --> 02:12:55,280 Speaker 5: since nineteen fifty. 2390 02:12:55,120 --> 02:12:58,640 Speaker 1: Nine seems to work pretty well, beauty for. 2391 02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:02,320 Speaker 5: About twenty years now. They put one core in those submarines. 2392 02:13:02,360 --> 02:13:04,480 Speaker 5: They don't even need refuel them. They're good for thirty 2393 02:13:04,560 --> 02:13:05,040 Speaker 5: five years. 2394 02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:08,840 Speaker 1: Amazing, and yet you and I can't have that technology. 2395 02:13:08,920 --> 02:13:12,400 Speaker 5: Mike in crazy well thanks to mi Armi brethren, and 2396 02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:14,840 Speaker 5: hopefully I don't see how we get around it with 2397 02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:19,040 Speaker 5: these AI data banks that are that are required foreign 2398 02:13:19,080 --> 02:13:21,480 Speaker 5: countries are using them, so I think it's just a 2399 02:13:21,520 --> 02:13:24,200 Speaker 5: matter of time. Well income, the left has no argument 2400 02:13:24,400 --> 02:13:26,400 Speaker 5: as far as if they want to talk about carbon 2401 02:13:26,480 --> 02:13:27,440 Speaker 5: neutral exactly. 2402 02:13:27,760 --> 02:13:30,720 Speaker 1: And they're wealthy companies who have the capital to purchase 2403 02:13:30,880 --> 02:13:33,360 Speaker 1: on their own their own nuclear reactor. They don't need 2404 02:13:33,440 --> 02:13:35,640 Speaker 1: government as systems or involvement other than to reduce the 2405 02:13:35,720 --> 02:13:39,200 Speaker 1: regulatory struggles and hurdles that they face moving in that direction. 2406 02:13:39,400 --> 02:13:41,960 Speaker 1: I see a bright future in our world because of 2407 02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,600 Speaker 1: the AI centers, and as well because of this step, 2408 02:13:44,720 --> 02:13:47,160 Speaker 1: the American military has taken under this project to power 2409 02:13:47,280 --> 02:13:50,880 Speaker 1: independently their own facilities by calendar year twenty twenty eight. 2410 02:13:51,200 --> 02:13:52,920 Speaker 1: If they can do it, if AI can do it, 2411 02:13:53,160 --> 02:13:55,280 Speaker 1: we can all do it. States can rapidly move in 2412 02:13:55,320 --> 02:13:58,800 Speaker 1: this direction. Zero carbon emission, but unlimited power that doesn't 2413 02:13:58,800 --> 02:13:59,960 Speaker 1: require the sun or the wind. 2414 02:14:01,200 --> 02:14:04,800 Speaker 5: Well, God bless those enlisted nuclear operators and the officers 2415 02:14:04,800 --> 02:14:08,320 Speaker 5: of the engineers, because parents, if you're looking for a 2416 02:14:08,440 --> 02:14:11,240 Speaker 5: place for your son and daughter that can go aboard 2417 02:14:11,280 --> 02:14:13,680 Speaker 5: a submarine or an aircraft carrier and operate that, you're 2418 02:14:13,720 --> 02:14:17,240 Speaker 5: talking six figures with obviously zero college debt. And then 2419 02:14:17,240 --> 02:14:19,720 Speaker 5: if you can imagine that these small nuclear reactors get 2420 02:14:19,760 --> 02:14:22,920 Speaker 5: out there to support these AI databases, the dangling carrot 2421 02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:24,680 Speaker 5: that'll be out there from the civilian community. 2422 02:14:24,920 --> 02:14:27,880 Speaker 1: Oh and AI cannot do the work of someone that 2423 02:14:28,040 --> 02:14:31,400 Speaker 1: is required to build and operate the nuclear reactors, Mike, 2424 02:14:31,680 --> 02:14:35,320 Speaker 1: so a good career operatority in that field alone. Yes, sir, 2425 02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:37,720 Speaker 1: all right, you didn't call to talk about that though, 2426 02:14:39,920 --> 02:14:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, you know, well. 2427 02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:42,960 Speaker 5: I'll talk all day long at that because it just 2428 02:14:43,080 --> 02:14:45,560 Speaker 5: makes too much sense. But another thing that makes too 2429 02:14:45,640 --> 02:14:48,200 Speaker 5: much sense is that they're talking about our downtown. As 2430 02:14:48,240 --> 02:14:50,000 Speaker 5: you all know, I've worked there for the last twelve 2431 02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:53,280 Speaker 5: and a half years at the casino and that, you 2432 02:14:53,360 --> 02:14:56,400 Speaker 5: know what that I think it may be the Canary 2433 02:14:56,440 --> 02:14:58,600 Speaker 5: and the coal Mine with them shutting down that event center, 2434 02:14:58,680 --> 02:15:01,360 Speaker 5: because that was a a beautiful place. I was in 2435 02:15:01,480 --> 02:15:04,080 Speaker 5: it once and now that they've moved over there. You know, 2436 02:15:04,760 --> 02:15:06,720 Speaker 5: think about it. If you live out in the suburbs 2437 02:15:06,960 --> 02:15:08,520 Speaker 5: and you want to have a nice steak dinner and 2438 02:15:08,560 --> 02:15:09,880 Speaker 5: you're a Ruby fan, or you're going to go to 2439 02:15:09,960 --> 02:15:12,480 Speaker 5: Carlos and Johnny's, you're going to go downtown. You know, 2440 02:15:12,880 --> 02:15:15,000 Speaker 5: if you don't feel safe going there, I think I 2441 02:15:15,040 --> 02:15:17,240 Speaker 5: would love to see that. What the attendance is for 2442 02:15:17,320 --> 02:15:18,960 Speaker 5: the taff and the air and off and probably the 2443 02:15:19,040 --> 02:15:21,320 Speaker 5: last year's I've seen it in my casino over the 2444 02:15:21,400 --> 02:15:23,480 Speaker 5: last twelve and a half years, you know, and we've 2445 02:15:23,600 --> 02:15:27,680 Speaker 5: invested tremendous technology and resources, but at the general public 2446 02:15:27,760 --> 02:15:30,160 Speaker 5: don't feel safe going down, mainly at night. Because my 2447 02:15:30,240 --> 02:15:32,440 Speaker 5: wife and I were down at Riverfest and that was 2448 02:15:32,480 --> 02:15:35,080 Speaker 5: a beautiful, you know, turn out of people and stuff 2449 02:15:35,160 --> 02:15:38,520 Speaker 5: like that, but it's so different. I think a big 2450 02:15:38,640 --> 02:15:41,200 Speaker 5: test will be tomorrow night for this Steelers Bengals game, 2451 02:15:41,400 --> 02:15:43,240 Speaker 5: because they're going to have the TVs on the square. 2452 02:15:43,280 --> 02:15:46,240 Speaker 5: You're talking like sixty thousand people. But that's not the issue. 2453 02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:48,240 Speaker 5: It's after the people that want to go out and 2454 02:15:48,360 --> 02:15:50,920 Speaker 5: have a little bit of adult beverage maybe after the 2455 02:15:50,960 --> 02:15:53,200 Speaker 5: game or just enjoy the night. Are they going to 2456 02:15:53,280 --> 02:15:54,760 Speaker 5: do that or are they in their cars and they're 2457 02:15:54,800 --> 02:15:57,720 Speaker 5: out of there. We the people will wake up and 2458 02:15:57,800 --> 02:16:01,160 Speaker 5: it isn't a matter of putting SWAT on Found Square. 2459 02:16:01,600 --> 02:16:04,040 Speaker 1: Just gonna mention that because you better be out by 2460 02:16:04,120 --> 02:16:07,120 Speaker 1: ten pm, because that's when SWATT and the Civil Disturbance 2461 02:16:07,160 --> 02:16:10,200 Speaker 1: Response team packs it up and goes home. Two to 2462 02:16:10,320 --> 02:16:10,720 Speaker 1: ten pm. 2463 02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:12,720 Speaker 5: Oh, we know there's no COVID after ten pm, so 2464 02:16:12,800 --> 02:16:13,600 Speaker 5: maybe there's no crime. 2465 02:16:14,080 --> 02:16:16,720 Speaker 1: That's right. I forgot ten pm is a magic number, 2466 02:16:16,800 --> 02:16:17,320 Speaker 1: isn't it, Mike? 2467 02:16:19,680 --> 02:16:19,880 Speaker 12: Yeah? 2468 02:16:19,920 --> 02:16:21,480 Speaker 1: And you know, on to that. Further to that point, 2469 02:16:21,680 --> 02:16:24,960 Speaker 1: my wife has expressed a profound reluctance. I want to 2470 02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:27,280 Speaker 1: go back downtown. We saw a lot of concerts at 2471 02:16:27,320 --> 02:16:30,400 Speaker 1: the Brady Center, never had any problem. But considering where 2472 02:16:30,440 --> 02:16:32,720 Speaker 1: all of this violence seems to unfold, and that's down 2473 02:16:32,760 --> 02:16:35,920 Speaker 1: to the Banks general area, don't have a real desire 2474 02:16:35,959 --> 02:16:37,920 Speaker 1: to hit the Brady Center anytime soon. If you know 2475 02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:40,840 Speaker 1: what I mean, Mike exactly, I'll see it. Listen to 2476 02:16:40,920 --> 02:16:43,879 Speaker 1: lunch next month, right, yes, sir, all right, be prepared 2477 02:16:43,920 --> 02:16:46,920 Speaker 1: for another brutal beating and game of cribbage.

But 2493 02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:24,520 Speaker 1: it should be a good opportunity for Q and A 2494 02:17:24,680 --> 02:17:25,840 Speaker 1: on that one too. And I think it's going to 2495 02:17:25,879 --> 02:17:28,760 Speaker 1: be a fascinating, fascinating conversation and topic. 2496 02:17:30,080 --> 02:17:32,520 Speaker 16: Yeah, it sounds really good.
