Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Five o five.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
If if you have KRC the talk station had Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Some say.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
A vation call Kenny Loggins because you're in the danger zone.
I always love that sound bite. Happy Wednesday, folks. Uh,
speaking of Wednesday. Next Wednesday, next listener lunch, You're gonna
be at Sonder Brewing Tap House and Kitchen, Westchester. I
was just staring at the menu. Wow, making me hungry
here at five o five on a Wednesday. So Sounder

(00:49):
Brewing Westchester location. Very much looking forward to that. Nick
the manager gave us the thumbs up, and I hope
he's looking forward to seeing the fifty five care see
lunch crew. I'm always in three to go to lunch.
Appreciate the camaraderie and of course that fellowship. There is
no substitute for it. And of course, given my general
malaise that I've sort of been feeling of late, it'll

(01:10):
certainly put give me a shot in the arm and
make me feel much better because I love talking to
the listeners, I really do. And speaking of that, feel
free to call this morning some particular topic you want
to talk about. Going on to the world five one, three,
seven four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eight two
three Talk or go with pound five fifty on AT
and T phones. What is coming up? Excited to learn
here just a moment ago because it was a story

(01:33):
that I was going to lead off with. And we're
going to hear from Christopher Smitheman with volume two of
the Smith Event. He's joining the program at six thirty
to talk about the Cincinnai City Council leaders giving a
green light to that redevelopment of the Hyde Park Square
business district in spite of the fact that there were
five hours of public comments and questions. And from what

(01:55):
I understand from the reporting enquirers Sydney Franklin and Randy
Tucker props in credit given where credits do. This is
where I read. It sounds like there's some unhappy people
there that were not interested in this redevelopment project. And yet,
as we've learned from Todd Zinzer, citizen watchdog, former Inspector

(02:16):
General for the United States, these are very well connected developers.
And he's a man of He's a calm and collected man.
He's not one to emphasize his words, but he did
use well connected developers when discussing this project on several occasions,
leading me to conclude that, you know, if it was

(02:39):
coming out of my mouth, I probably would have emphasized
and doubled down on the well connected developers trumping the
will of these citizens of Hyde Park. I think they
should have control over their own destiny. They all have
their own councils and cities. Cincinnati steam rolled over everybody
with this connected communities thing, and now they're offering Hyde
Park this and these well connected developers a waiver so

(03:01):
they can build their massive eighty five foot new building
in spite of the fact that the zoning restrictions capped
the building to fifty feet. Five hours since the nine
person city council voted in committee to approve the rezoning
for this one hundred and fifty million dollar redevelopment project
that would include a new hotel an apartment complex at

(03:25):
one point seventy eight acres site between Edwards Road and
Michigan Avenue. Many residents a little disturbed that it might,
you know, change the nature of the neighborhood. And I
understand that council members sitting on these cities this is
you know, and I read this and I just scratched
my head I'm like, how lord, we've got one of these. Yes,
Equitable Growth and Housing Committee. The Equitable Growth and Housing

(03:52):
Committee a seven to two vote to approve the zoning
change from the commercial Neighborhood Pedestrian Neighborhood Business District too
planned development, thus allowing for the construction of the hotel,
and they describe it as still in the concept stage.
All the details haven't been ironed out, according to the
team of well connected developers. My words, not the words

(04:14):
of the inquire behind the project, Kenwood based p LK Communities,
the Loring Group in Hyde Park, and downtown based North
Point Group. I presume that's who Todd Zenzer was referring
to as the well connected developers. Obviously, this has been
a subject of contentious debate for months. We talked about
it before here on the Morning Show. Opponents, which they

(04:37):
write include more than four thousand Hyde Park residents that
have signed on to the Save Hyde Park Square petition,
say they're not against new development, but oppose the height
and density of the plan and want developers to abide
by previous zoning standards. See, you know, you got your
local community councils. They're supposed to be able to have
some say in control over the future of the neighborhood.

(04:58):
Probably more accountable to the residents of Hyde Park then
people sitting in downtown Cincinnati, i e. Cincinnati City Council,
who again typically going for the one size fits all
to the exclusion of the various communities. Some of them wanted,
connected communities, some of them didn't. And what's the point
of living in any given neighborhood if you don't have

(05:19):
some sort of control over what your neighborhood's future is
going to look like. Project would include a ninety room
boutique hotel one and twenty unit apartment building in underground
parking garage. Joe, do you think that'll be affordable housing?

(05:39):
Give it? It's in Hyde Park Square. You're going with
no as well? Yeah, I kind of figured that it
would be unanimity among the folks here in the studio
this morning. Apparently the LA's building on the corner of
Edwards Rose and Erie Avenue would be remodeled to include
about forty new apartments and a mix of street level

(06:00):
retail and restaurants. Bass Nick Legenfelder, chief development officer for
the well connected developer PLK Communities, This is an important
opportunity for the square to evolve, to move past fear
of the unknown and really move forward for the next generation. Huh, Well,

(06:25):
maybe the Hyde Park residents aren't interested in redevelopment. Maybe
they like the status quo. It is kind of a
nice little neighborhood there. It does have a character and
charm that most neighborhoods would really long for, and I
think it's one of the reasons Hyde Park has been
such a successful neighborhood in the property values will well
exceed the property values of a lot of other neighborhoods

(06:47):
get in within the limits of the City of Cincinnati.
He did say he was not going to stop working
with the neighborhood to address their concerns. Again, this is
in a bit of a state of flux right now
since the final terms, conditions, and plans haven't been completely
ironed out. For his part, Mayor O candidate Corey Bowman,

(07:07):
He's been on the Morning Show many times. He's a Republican.
He's actually running for mayor of the City of Cincinnati.
And I pointed out to Corey, I said, you have
a golden opportunity by standing with the residents of Hyde
Park to get the normally blue Democrat leaning Hyde Park
residents on your side of the ledger, because you would
give them the choice that they want. He was there yesterday.

(07:31):
Quote Corey Bowman. The voters entrusted this body to always
consider the community's desires above all else. However, if you
violate that trust today by placing special interest above the community,
the community's only recourse would be to vote you out
of office. Close quote that's exactly right, Corey Bowman. And

(07:54):
I suspect you may get a couple of campaign contributions
as a consequence of councils Now that it's out of
this Equitable Growth and Housing Committee, full council is going
to vote on it, I guess at some point. But
it seems to me at this juncture a foregone conclusion
giving the overwhelmingly majority vote in the Equitable Growth and
Housing Committee. So sucks to be U Hyde Park City

(08:17):
Cincinnati Council does not care about your desires. You know,
it wouldn't be interesting to have the residents of Hyde
Park put this to a vote. I mean, you got
four thousand people signed on the position saying they don't
want this. I'd love to have just sort of a vote,
Get every resident in the city in Hyde Park to
vote yay or nay on it and see where it

(08:38):
comes out. You know, I could be wrong. I get
the sense though, that the majority of High Park residents
are not interested in this. They're concerned about the traffic,
They're concerned about congestion, They're concerned about changing the nature
of the neighborhood. They're concerned about the height of this development,
violating the current fifty foot limit. I get all those concerns.
More fundamentally, I get the concept of the freedom and

(09:00):
write in ability to control the destiny of the neighborhood
that I live in without interjection by Democrat politicians in
city Hall telling you that you can't do it the
way you might want to do it. Frankly, that kind
of thing just, frankly pisses me off. We'll see if
it has an impact in November, and of course again

(09:27):
in terms of campaign contributions and support for alternatives to
mayor f tab pervol who I understand is behind this
as well, maybe changing the political dynamic of the City
of Cincinnati. I can only hope. Let's see what Steve's
got this morning. Hey Steve, thanks for calling a happy
Wednesday to you.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
What time is it.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
I got back from India last night and it's a
nine and a half hour time different, So I geez.
I woke up a little bit early today. Even though
I'm exhausted, I still got up early and just an
amazingly welcoming vulture. Biggest problem somebody like you and me
are going to have with them dogs everywhere. Dogs, you

(10:07):
know dogs. I mean I probably saw twenty thousand dogs
in eleven days.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Wow. Well I am a dog lover, but you know,
there's dog loving and then there's being overwhelmed with wild
dogs running around, which are two completely different things.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
And they're wild, but they're passive. And this was the
only nice thing about that most of them look like
they're doing pretty good. Oh they're there. I didn't see
starving dogs.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Erect Yes, that's depressing.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, yeah, it was nice. And when I got back
to New Delhi, which was my port of entry and
exit the day I was, actually the day after I
was I was, or the day before I left. Jd
Vance got there and the three cities he was doing
were the first three I did, so I can relate
to That's part of the reason you travel, you can

(10:58):
relate to things you see on TV, on the news, whatever. Sure,
Hindu culture extremely welcoming, very friendly people Americans. I mean,
we have good relations with him. They had pictures of
ants all over news.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
JD was there to you know, start the inroads and
the negotiating a trade deal with Indian. It looks like
things are going in the right direction. There's some really
good news reported this morning about progress being made with
a whole lot of nations in terms of negotiating some
trade deals. So you know, Trump may have this right,
we'll see.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
You got to play in the long term game and
we hang tight. And the fact that his wife is
of Indian descent, I think they really like that too.
And she's a beautiful woman. Family so and the man
kind of weird that he was. I don't know if
he was the last person to meet with the pope,
but if not, the last one of the last.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, he was there on Easter Sunday, if I recall correctly.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
So yeah, but yeah, back safely, And you want to
come over and mow my grat for me later because
I've got just a couple I've got more dam the
lions in my yard than there are dogs in India.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I'm going to take a pass. It's tough for me
to care again, tough enough for me to get motivated
to cut my own grass. Let alone come around and
cut various listeners of grass.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
But you know, good luckily, that one of your job
duties is the host to mo listeners.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Lawns only job duty. It is my job duty at
my house, but it has nothing to do with my employment.
Take care, take care, and welcome back. I'm glad you
had a safe and sounds like wonderful trip. Parenthetically, the
time is five seventeen right now. If you have care,
see the talk station twenty two to three. It's my
favorite gun shop and indoor range. My favorite people owning

(12:46):
Wendy and Jeff. They're awesome at what they do. And
you know, when you wanted everybody to know. You know
that you have a church synagogue and you need to
consider your safety plans. Everyone does and sadly that may be,
but your friends at twenty two three are there to
help you out. Is a comprehensive program or in a
la carte training such as verbal de escalation, situational awareness

(13:06):
and understanding behavior cues making biblically and legally sound force decisions,
and a whole lot more. Twenty three takes us into consideration.
The name twenty two three actually is a reference to
a chapter and verse in the Bible which I found
that out. I can't remember which specific one. I apologize

(13:27):
to Wendy and Jeff for that, but yeah, there are
faith based folks and they want you to take care
of your safety but also keep it within the confines
of your religious philosophy, and I think that's a great
legally sound forced decision. Twenty two three wants to help
you mitigate risk while staying on your mission, So reach
out to Wendy and hear the background and find out more.

(13:50):
Twenty two to three located on Route forty two between
Mason and Lebanon. You can find them online and learn
more all about their shop. They are a full, full
service shop from firearms selections, use firearms, indoor range, tons
of AMMO, all at fantastic prices, plus the classes twenty
two to three dot com. That's the number twenty two

(14:12):
followed by the word three spelled out dot com.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Fifty five KRC The Forties and Free Agents podcast with.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Day Heavy above Kars talk station. Yeah, I came to
a screeching halt with a rundown after I mentioned that
we have a special Christopher sm Smitherman smither Van at
six point thirty over the Hyde Park deal yesterday. But
it is Wednesday, which means we get a big picture
with Jack Addid in subject matter with Jack one world government.

Speaker 7 (14:44):
HG.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Wells was wrong. I love him incorporating history into his
modern day comments. Donovan and Neil Americans for Prosperity returns
this Estate Level Rains Act that'd be here in Ohio,
so probably a call of action for you. Empower You.
Dan Reaganold's going to join the program at eight oh five,
the man behind the concept of Empower You War of

(15:06):
eighteen twelve, and I'm imagining Dan's going to be covering
that subject matter. He does do the Empower Youth seminars
from time to time. A brilliant man he is, and
so and just I can't thank him enough. Those Empower
Youth seminars are outstanding and what an amazing array of topics.
Jason Williams from the Cincinnian Inquirer the County and Bengals
Stadium funding. Yeah, we've got some developments on that. Yes,

(15:31):
you will be on the hook to a certain degree.
And Maureen Gartner, it's going to join the program. We've
got a Parkinson's a fundraiser kind of thing going on
in Bob Wedderer, I defend the show and really huge
supporter of the Parkinson's group. It's the twenty twenty five
Harvey Chayette Spring Forum. So we'll learn about that together

(15:53):
at the tail end of the program. So that is today. Yeah,
Hamilton County struck a deal with the Bengals. Apparently it's
phase one of I guess three phases. Phase three is
profit right, Joe, so we get there. This will require
the spending of one hundred and eighty five million dollars

(16:14):
to improve pay Course Stadium in twenty twenty six, phase
one of what could be the long run of actually
a four phase gerdier Loins eight hundred and thirty million
dollar larger package of upgrades. Yeah, I know, what do
we spend like four hundred and fifty million dollars to

(16:35):
build the damn thing? Eight hundred and thirty in upgrades?
Memorandum of understanding apparently added to the County Commission agenda
last night after the team agreed to the terms on Monday.
Commissioner is going to be taken a vote in a
week that'll be next Tuesday, April twenty nine. Lease extension
of brand new lease is not part of the stadium

(16:57):
improvement deal. They have until June thirty to come up
with a new lease deal or approve the first of
several two year extensions which are currently allowed in the
lease we're dealing with right now. NFL and Bengals shoveling
out one hundred and twenty million dollars of the improvement
the county. That's you and me picking up sixty four

(17:18):
and a half million dollars the Bengals for their part,
it's reported, and Chris Wederich of the CINCINNTI Business Courier
props for the reporting. Bengals are borrowing half of the
one h twenty million dollars under an NFL program known
as G five that the league a guess makes available
to teams that are building new stadiums or renovating additional

(17:41):
ones or existing ones. Apparently, teams are allowed to borrow
up to three hundred million dollars and they are subject
to some timeline. So according to reporting and the comments
from Hamilton County Administrator Jeff Aludo that funding could be
lost or significantly reduced if part of the deal is
not inked soon, hence the rush and breaking it down

(18:03):
into phases. I guess, so what do we get in
return for this? Modifications to the East and West Club
lounges all one hundred and thirty two suites, Joe, you
spent a lot of time in the suites, don't you
all the time? Concessions and stadium beautification. That stuff's going

(18:26):
to be paid for by the Bengals. Escalators, elevators, electrical power,
code upgrades, sweet seat replacements which most of us will
never see, glass refurbishment, and jungle vision control room. That's
what you and I in the county are on the
hook for.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Game.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
What the hell is a jungle vision control room? Oh?
That's the scoreboard stuff, the control room for the scoreboard.
Are they going to get a disco ball in there
like they have in the locker room? Now? Two five
twenty six more local stories coming up. Maybe you've got

(19:08):
a comment on that, Phil free chime in. Love to
hear from you first, though. An opportunity for you to
save heaploads of money, and that is don't go to
the hospital imaging department when you're getting an image, echo cardiogram,
MRIST scan, ultra sum. Go to affordable imaging services, which
is truly a small fraction of the insane costs that
the hospital imaging department charges. Echo cardigrams, it's your heart.

(19:31):
You got to get right in. They won't get you
right in, probably got to wait three weeks to a month. No,
they'll get you right in. And affordable imaging services where
you will not pay thirty five hundred dollars or more
without an enhancement. An echo cardiogram is five hundred dollars.
With an enhancement, it's eight hundred dollars. It comes with
the board certified radiologists report. You don't have to pay

(19:52):
extra for that, which you probably will have to do
if you go to the imaging department at the hospital.
I just got my recent CT scan there, like the
third one, I've gotten affordable imaging service. This is same
kind of equipment. It's just really low overhead. Do you
need overhead when you're getting an image? No, you want
good equipment with professionals operating it. And that's what you get.
So rather than five grand uh six hundred dollars because

(20:14):
I got the contrast. If you don't need a contrast
with this et scan, it's only four hundred and fifty bucks.
Low prices like this across the board. They're really very
very nice people there, so you'll have a great experience.
You won't get to look at marble sculptures and you know,
water features and things like that. But remember you're not
gonna have to pay for all the overhead that the
hospital charges, and well pay for the profit center that

(20:36):
the hospital makes. Those imaging departments Affordable imaging services find
them online learn more about the pricing and how it
all works. Affordable Medimaging dot com five one three seven
five three eight thousand, five one three seven five three eight.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
Thousand, fifty five KRC Terrortion.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Five thirty one, I don't want to say and a
happy one five one three seven eight two three Talking
number fifty five KRC dot com and you can't listen
live got Daniel Davis Deep Dive and the latest with
Russia and Ukraine Yesterday The Inside Scoop with Bob Price.

(21:14):
The International or rather the border editor or reporter from
Breitbart Steve Goodin with an excellent analysis of the current
situation with Supreme Court relative to the Venezuelan deportations, and
Dave Williams Taxpayer Protection Alliance with a call to action.
Get in touch with your well members of Congress, senators,

(21:35):
representatives and tell them to cut more in this reconciliation bill.
Someone to email me yesterday about that. You should have
provided all the phone numbers for all the representatives so
we knew who to call. Joe, Joe, how long do
you think that might have taken? I know, I told
him he could look it up himself. I said, I'm

(21:55):
sure my listeners have a search engine and understand how
to use it. I said, they'd be like reading the
school closings on a blizzardy day would take forever considering
the and much appreciated large listening audience. Anyway, Hey, look,
Greg Lansman made it into the local news. US Representative

(22:16):
Greg Landsman and his wife Sarah recently dumped hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of corporate stocks they personally own,
including shares in defense contractors and a tobacco company. This
according to federal financial disclosure that was reviewed by the
Dayton Daily News. Props to them for reporting his sell
off on March twenty seventh came several months after the congressman,

(22:37):
Democrat Greg Lansman, who apparently has crusaded for stronger anti
corruption and government disclosure laws, violated the existing Stop Trading
on Congressional Knowledge Act of twenty twelve by failing to
properly disclose dozens of stock trades. I think that sums

(22:58):
it up well enough. Let's see here, Representative Andy Barr
of Kentucky officially enter the race to replace Mitch McConnell,
who's retiring. Even waiting for that day, haven't you Joe
serving in the House through over a decade? Kicked off

(23:19):
his campaign in Richmond yesterday released a video which includes
the following, The United States is the greatest country on
earth and it's not even closed. But here's the problem.
The woke left wants to neoter America. Literally. They hate
our values, they hate our history, and goodness knows, they
hate President Trump. And here in Kentucky, that's why we

(23:40):
love him. And I'm Andy Barr, and I'm running for
Senate to help our president say this great country. In
his video, he promised to deport illegal aliens instead of
putting them up in luxury hotels also promised to get
rid of this anti cold do gooder eesg garbage once
and for all and his words. He also said in

(24:03):
the video, working with President Trump, I'll fight to create
jobs for hard work in Kentuckians instead of warm and
fuzzies for hardcore liberals. And as a dad, let me
be clear, I'll fight to lock up the sikos who
allow biological men to share locker rooms with our daughters.
How about that? Uh got the backing of Steve Scalise,

(24:24):
who said, there is no bigger supporter of President Donald J.
Trump in our MAGA movement than my dear friend Andy Barr.
I am all in for Andy and his campaign for
the US Senate, proud to support him, as well as
a House Majority leader, ste So I'm sorry. That was
House Manority Leader and House Republican Leadership Chair Elise Stefanik,
who said, I am proud to call Andy a friend
and wholeheartedly endorse his campaign for US Senate Kentucky. Me

(24:47):
the senator who stands one hundred percent with President Trump.
That my friend Andy Barr. So there you have it.
A couple of endorsements early on in the game five
point thirty five right now fifty five garre See Detalk
station stack is stupid coming up unless you'd rather call
and talk. Either way, it is okay with me. Another
place you might want to go to reflect and relax, unwind,

(25:07):
get peace of mind, enjoy the outdoors, especially since you
know we've got some really nice weather of late springtime.
A great time to visit Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Montgomery.
And it's not just a cemetery. It's just this beautiful
park like setting. It's got great rolling hills and mature
trees and beautiful seasonal flowers, trim lawns, reflective water features.

(25:30):
It's just a tranquil, tranquil atmosphere, which makes it a
great location for prayer, reflection, to unwind, kind of think
of like Ron Wilson and the sort of the forest
bathing type of concept. So you can find comfort and
peace in the cemetery's quiet, reverend surroundings. It's open to
everyone to enjoy. Take a stroll through the cemetery. Ministering

(25:52):
to the tri State for more than seventy seven years,
hunting life on sacred ground. That's Gate of Heaven Cemetery.
Find them online learn more. All about it. Gate of
Heaven dot.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
Org fifty five KRC.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Sure time for the JENNI in first morning. Whether Hoork
ASTs beautiful day today mostly sunny, sky's highest seventy nine,
few clouds over night fifty four for the love partly
blody datamarw isolated afternoon showers possible seventy nine for the
high fifty overnight with more isolated storms possible, and on Friday,

(26:24):
scattered showers and storms during the day. Seventy three will
be the high. It's fifty right now, in time for
first traffic or maybe not. So I'm gonna go back
there check on Chuck. Hope he didn't have a grabber

(26:47):
or something like that. I do have a stack of
stupid in front of it. You have Pete on the
line five one three seven two three talk Pete. Welcome
to the Morning Show and happy Wednesday to you, sir.

Speaker 8 (26:58):
Hey, thanks Bride, thanks my call. I saw a news
article where a MS thirteenth leader had got arrested on
four gun charges and the d o K went to
court to get the charges dropped, probably so they get
DeFore him and him and his attorneys are fighting to
have the charges reinstate that they don't punk dropped.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
They wanted to be tried on gun charges. So he
gets locked up in a US prison as opposed to
being thrown out of the country.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Oh my god, that's hilarious.

Speaker 7 (27:35):
It is.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Thanks, I didn't see that with Pete. Appreciate, appreciate that's
up on that And maybe maybe that's something we all
should just come to realize, you know, I it's like
the parallel I can draw. You know, we lived in Chicago,
and when we moved back, I'll never take the city
of Cincinnati, in spite of its problems and its difficulties

(27:59):
and its challenges. I'll never take it for granted. Again,
the difference between the two cities and the living conditions
and the general quality of life is so much better here.
Don't take it for granted. Don't overlook it. The country
he came from sucks so much that he would rather

(28:21):
be locked up in a US prison that speaks volumes anyhow,
The stack is stupid. We've got a school director in
Arkansas now accused of being the ring leader of a
makeshift child fight club. According to prosecuting attorneys, what Creig,
I kind of District judged Dave Boling found probable cause

(28:42):
to charge Mary Tracy Morrison, owner director of the Delta
Institute for the Developing Brain and the Engage Program, with
permitting child abuse. Police arrested Morrison and three of the
school's employees after a video surface of an incident at
the school, shocking no one proskanting attorney Sonia Haygood. Incident

(29:03):
lasted thirty minutes included a teacher instructing a student to
hit another quote in the private area close quote. Haygood
said Morrison was the ringleader of this makeshift child fight club.
She was the ringleader of this particular incident. That's end quotes,
held on quarter of a million dollar bond in order

(29:25):
to have no contact with the school or students. Other
employees in the video id didnified his thirty eight year
old Michael Bean, thirty six year old Kristen Bell, and
forty five year old Katherine Lipscomb. Lipsom bond one hundred
thousand dollars. Bean and Bell's bonds ten thousand dollars, all
again order to have no contact with the school or students.
Hay Good said she was outraged at the allegation or

(29:47):
the alleged inaction of Lipscomb, noting that she is a
licensed teacher and mandated reporter. If you had seen what
I saw, you would be outraged. Hey Good said of
Lipscomb's alleged inaction, she witnessed similar instances and was observed
participating and talking to everyone as that's going on. Attorneys
for the accused argue that the affidavit failed to provide

(30:10):
evidence of actual physical injury to the victim, and argue
that the charge of permitting abuse of a minor be amended.
You're right, Joe, someone talked about fight Club, and in fact,
and in this day and age, they videoed fight club,

(30:31):
which probably is worse than talking about fight Club. We'll
go to the smoking gun for this one. In the
course of a child porn probe targeting his younger brother,
an upstate New York man caught a legal ricochet shot

(30:51):
when investigators discovered videos showing him engaged in sexual acts
with animals, including a cow.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Do what the hell?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Thirty eight year old Mark Banks arrested earlier in the
month for sexual misconduct for allegedly having quote sexual intercourse
with a dairy cow in the property of Windsor acres
close quote. That's the Broome County farm where he worked
for twenty two years. New York State police investigation originally
focused on Bank's brother, Christopher, for possession of child porn

(31:23):
transmission online. When police executed the search warrant at Christopher's residence,
which he apparently shares with his brother, they well got
an assortment of electronic equipment. Review of the sea's materials
resulted in filing a felloing a charge against Christopher for
possession of sexual performance by a child school cafeteria employee.
Christopher immediately fired by the district. In a handwritten statement

(31:45):
given a police quote out of my own free will
close quote, he wrote that state police found some videos
on my device today involving sex with animals. When I
was younger, I had sex with a cow close quote.
After describing the elucid act, Mark wrote, well, he did
not achieve completion here. I've got to delicately reward his

(32:09):
statement for FCC compliance, but did so because of sexual urge.
It didn't work at first, and I shifted the bucket
and tried again that this did not happen again after that, Well,
apparently that's exactly what I decided to do. Joe. Class

(32:32):
A misdemeanor mar faces carries a maximum of one year
in jail if convicted on the child born charges. For
his part, Christopher faces up the four years in custody
upon conviction. Each of the charges carries an additional penalty
of having to register as a sex offender. But I
wonder how they treat cow molesters in prison, because we

(32:53):
know how they treat child molesters. Joe, well, I suppose
that'll be the case if you have maybe a bunch
of fun arms locked up in jail. Five forty six

Hold out here to start from Cribbage Mike so it's
going to be at Saunder Brewery in Westchester next week,
and he referred to the last story as udderly U
D D R e O Y disgusting. But then again
he didn't hear or wait for the next story. You

(35:06):
decide which is worse. Man went to the hospital complaining
of severe pain in his backside and admitted that a
quote foreign body clothes quote was stuck up there, later
determined to be a six point five centimeter diameter ball
transparent sphere with two cartoon faces on either side. Also
contained a small smaller ball bearings and a red liquid.

(35:33):
A digital now in this case there definitely is not
a digital examination revealed the ball was stuck in the
man's rectum seven centimeters in sixty two year old man
not named in the article given a minor colonosopy, which
found the higher than normal blood flow in the area
as well as swelling of the mucous membrane, presenting a

(35:53):
problem for the doctors, So they came up with what
is described as an ingenious to make its removal easier.
They placed the man under general anesthetic and then use
the scalpel to pierce the elastic ball, which allowed the
liquid inside the ball to drain out, and the ball's
overall size was reduced as the air inside the ball

(36:16):
rushed out, then successfully used or removed using forceps and
a quote foreign body clamp close quote through the man's rectum.
The article doesn't end there because that's not bad enough,

(36:39):
as reported in the Daily Mirror, UK sadly not the
first time someone has appeared after getting an object stuck
inside them. Radiologists previously revealed a series of X ray
showing some of the most embarrassing visits they've seen. Are
you ready? Deodorant cans, lighter fluid bottle, coffee jars, a

(37:04):
whole orange. One forty year old man claimed that he
slipped and fell directly onto a pestle as in mortar
and pestel while cooking Malaysian food. Also reported an egg,
an egg plant, an axe handle, a sports drink bottle,

(37:27):
and what is described as a homemade object fashion from
an empty two of Baroka tablets. I don't know what
that is. It's capital B. I suppose that's a brand
name with a spray nozzle on the end. Gus Joe
shaking his head. You're the one that found the article. Man,

(37:56):
there's some weird people out there. Fifty five care CD
talk station, planning to talk about good news here in Ohio,
to talk about also the special edition of Christopher Smith.
Aman going to do a little smither event, I imagine
over the vote on them or Hyde Park proposal, which
of course connected developers won the day yesterday, allowing the

(38:19):
next step forward toward well changing the dynamic of Hyde Park.
So he'll have some words on that, pointed ones. I
presume at six point thirty. I hope you can stick around.

Speaker 9 (38:30):
Us.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Happens fast, stay up to date at the top of
the hour, not going to be complicated. It's going to
go very fast.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Fifty five KRC the talk station, the talk station Abby Wednesday.
Just a reminder Sunder Brewery's tap house and kitchen, that's
what we're gonna be at. Listener to lunch next Wednesday,
and looking forward to hopefully continuing my one game winning
streak with cribbage Mikho. I just heard from he said

(38:57):
he's going to be there. You're invited. It's good time.
And I tell you what to take a look at
the menu. Just look up a Saunder Brewing taphouse in
kitchen in Westchester and they have a comprehensive menu. Made
my mouth water. So enjoy the Fellowship of listener lunch.
Next Wednesday. Coming up on the fifty five Carsey Morning
Show Special Day, we got a special smither vent. Christopher

(39:18):
Smithman's probably got some pointed comments about yesterday's City Council
meeting and the approval of the well connected, well connected
developers in Hyde Park's development plan in spite of the
five hour meeting and a lot of opposition to it.
I can't speak to where the majority of Hyde Park
residents are on this, but I get the impression considering

(39:41):
four thousand people signed a petition and against this thing,
that I would guess the majority of High Park residents
are against it, representing a great opportunity for Corey Bowman,
who was there and did speak in the meeting, to
perhaps get some campaign contributions and some votes, which he
did point out yesterday at the meeting. So we'll hear
from Christopher at the bottom of the hour. Fast forward
one hour The Big Picture with Jack added, and every

(40:03):
Wednesday at seven oh five, brilliant analysis is always one
world government.

Speaker 10 (40:09):

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Wells was wrong. That's today's topic with Jack added and
again one hour Donovan and Neil follows Jack at seven thirty.
We have a Rains Act, a state Ohio state version
of the Rains Act. We're going to learn about that
from Donovan and how we can help empower use seminar.
Dan Reagnold returns, the inventor of empower Use seminars empower

(40:31):
Youamerica dot org. Today's topic. Dan's going to do a
seminar in the War of eighteen twelve. Jason Williams from
the Cincinnian Choir. We'll talk about the county and the
Bengals stadium funding and you've heard the top of the
our news a little few details on that and what
that might mean. It's stage one. It's sort of a
memorandum of understanding regarding the funding breakdown for phase one,

(40:53):
and there will ultimately be apparently four phases of this
with a grand total of eight hundred and thirty million
dollars in upgrades. I'm sure you can tell by the
ton of my votes where I am on that subject matter.
And then we have a Parkinson's event to talk about
Marie Gartners and to join the program at the tail
end of the show to talk about the twenty twenty
five Harvey Shayette Spring Forum. So that's the Morning Show

(41:17):
five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight
hundred eighty two three talk pound five fifty on eight
and T phones. And one thing I am a huge
fan of is school choice. Most notably, given all these
recent developments, the woke DEEI kind of shoving strange and
weird sexually related subject matters down our children's brains. In

(41:40):
spite of the fact that the test scores and reading, writing, arithmetic,
and things that actually matter in this world are following
dramatically across the nation. School choice is an answer to that,
and I was pleased to see the editorial board of
the Wall Street Journal point that out headline, Ohio's school
choice success story, Voucher recipients saw substantially improved academic outcomes,

(42:05):
sending shivers down the spine of the teachers' unions. I
guess competition works, as they write new results in Ohio
school choice program, and they're looking good. The study released
Tuesday yesterday by researchers at the Urban Institute found that
students who used vouchers to attend private schools saw substantially
improved long term academic outcomes. Ohio's Educational Choice Scholarship program

(42:32):
began in two thousand and five as a state funded
voucher programs for schools or for students rather than lousy
public schools. In twenty thirteen to fourteen, it began to
serve low income students regardless of schools. Since twenty twenty
three twenty four school year, it's been open to all students,
though more affluent Ohio families aren't eligible for full scholarships.

(42:54):
Researchers study more than six thousand Ohio students who first
used ED Choice scholar ships to attend private schools between
twenty eight and twenty fourteen. They compared that group with
more than five hundred thousand students who remained in public schools,
selecting for similar demographics and academic characteristics. Scholarship recipients were

(43:17):
found to be fifteen percentage points more likely to attend
college than the public school counterparts nine points more likely
to graduate. Students in the program for the last at
least four years, about sixty percent of all the participants
had even higher college enrollment and graduation rates. Previous study

(43:39):
found that ED Choice recipients had lower short term scores
on state assessments, but, as the authors noted, positive long
term outcomes indicate that state tests might not be an
ideometric for evaluating private school quality, given curricular differences between
sectors and different incentives to perform un state exams. Groups

(44:01):
that benefited the most were blacks, boys, students who experienced
long term childhood poverty, and students with below media and
test scores before leaving public schools, which is an interesting
statistic considering, you know, the leftist and the teachers union
always claimed that this is going to be the worst

(44:22):
thing for those with poverty and you know, the aforementioned groups. Anyway,
the journal continues the rate of college enrollment among black
scholarship recipients that said choice recipients increased eighteen percentage points,
compare with thirteen points for white students. Students who spent
more than three quarters of their life in poverty saw

(44:46):
their rate of college attendants increase seventeen percentage points. That's
up to seven points higher than students from less impoverished backgrounds.
Opponents deride school choice programs as the enemy of public education.
The data tell a different story. Before ED choice was
made universal, only persistently underperforming schools were eligible. To capture

(45:11):
the effect of the program on public schools, the authors
compared outcomes at schools on either side of the eligibility threshold.
Students who remained at ed choice eligible public schools were
three percentage points more likely to attend college and six
percentage points more likely to graduate than students at ineligible
public schools. It's not hard to understand why when public

(45:34):
schools face competitive pressure to retain students, their performance improves.
Contrary to teachers' union narratives, throwing more money at public
schools frequently fails to have the same effect. Soaring government
education spending hasn't done much for student math and reading scores.

(45:55):
The student study has some limitations, they point out, including
one that it predates the old bio programs universal expansion,
but its results are consistent with a large and growing
body of evidence that school choice can lift all students.
Isn't that wonderful news? And the right categories of folks

(46:16):
have been given an extra leg up because of school choice.
Those that may be destined to a life of further
poverty now have a better leg up. They've gotten a
better education. The data bears it out, allowing parents to
have some control and say over where children attend and
forcing that competition on public schools is good for everyone.

(46:40):
Wish more people would embrace the concept. And I just
I mean, when you hear the teachers' unions rally against
this kind of thing in the face of this evidence,
you know damn well that they're only interested in their own,
you know, protecting their own rather than giving children a
leg up. Tough enough being a kid, especially, you know,

(47:02):
coming from a poor neighborhood and you know, living you know,
with a with a limited income family, and depriving them
the option of a better education just makes matters worse.
So bully for Ohio. Bully for the ED choice program.
And I'm expecting, you know, broader better numbers down the
road since they've expanded the whole program. So congratulations State

(47:25):
of Ohio, and congratulations all those young people who did
so well academically because they had choice five three, seven hundred,
eight hundred and eighty two to three taco with pound

This is fifty five karc an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
It's the Marketers Report Today. It's Sex twenty fifty five
KRCD talk station and a very happy Wednesday to you.
No judgment at Topolatona today. He had a special opportunity
to meet with someone this morning, so he won't be
with us today. It did write the column, and I
can just summarize or paraphrase some of it and then

(49:06):
get to the attack on the what the article is
column entitled the worst Pope in History? And Ilie raised this,
and I, you know, it's I don't know that it's necessary,
blasphemous or wrong to criticize the managers passed away, But
because I have a lot of Catholic friends, and I
am not Catholic, but I've drawn my own conclusions about

(49:26):
the late pope, and my Catholic friends who actually are
discussed the Pope and his actions and his comments and
the things that he had done throughout his term. We're
all uniformly against him, found some significant fault with him.
So I can cut out the part about Thomas Aquinas

(49:48):
and natural rights. We discussed with that with with judgment
of Polotano all the time, the idea that we are
born with natural rights that no one can negate, and
only governments can take these rights away. From us, but
he points out he goes. A little over a year ago,
I spent a week living and studying at the Vatican
as a guest lecture at the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences,
a university like organization as scholars that explores ideas of

(50:09):
interest to the Vatican. Last year, the Academy addressed the
philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas on the seven hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of his death. It's not an esoteric subject.
Quinus taught that all rational persons are capable of discerning
right from wrong and good from evil by the exercise
of free will and human reason, and they do not
need the government to aid them in this endeavor, generally

(50:32):
known as natural law. My presentation Judgment Politano was on
the concept of natural rights, a derivation of natural law.
The Vatican, which is a fraction of the size of
Central Park in New York, has a fine guest house
on the ground called the Domus, which was my home
for four days, was also the permanent residence of Pope Francis.
By twenty four colleagues and I were dining in the

(50:52):
small Domus dining room. On our first day there when
the Pope came in and sat two tables away from us.
It was surreal. So then he goes into Thomas Aquinas,
how do we know that we exist? How do we
know it? Two and two is four that the sun
rise in the east and settles in the west think
these are truisms. They cannot be changed. All rational people

(51:14):
can discern them. They are true intrinsically, whether they believe
they are or not. This is the subject matter of
what he was speaking about with this group of you know, intellectuals.
I suppose theory natural rights extra extrapolated from Aquinas, teaches
us that our rights are permanent claims against the whole
world that no one, not even government, can take away.

(51:36):
Of course, the perse snatcher and the bank robber give
up their rights when they violate the rights of the
perse owner and the bank depositors. As contrasted from your
free choice of eating you know, maybe ice cream, or
choosing to play baseball or whatever you choose to do
that does not interfere with the rights and privileges of
other people. That's the point. That's my really truly libertarian

(51:57):
philosophy boiled down the Quintas knew the government is the
negation of liberty. He writes, we in the twenty first
century realize that we have a government that is utterly
indifferent to our rights. The folks who run the federal government,
no matter which political party is in power, believe they
can kill any foe, steal any property, extinguish any right,
declare any wrong, regulate any behavior, tax any event, and

(52:19):
insulate themselves into any relationships so long as they get
away with it politically, all in defince of natural law.
In America today we see the destruction of natural law
principles and the rejection of natural rights. Onto the criticism,
he writes, Now back to the pope. Catholics believe he's

(52:40):
the vicar of Christ on earth, but Francis may have
been the worst pope in history. He watered down church
teachings on marriage, sexuality, and confession. He declined to judge
right from wrong. He forbade the mass that every canonized
saintan haven't attended and participated in since fifteen sixty four.
He's even claimed that all religious religions are equal and

(53:01):
welcome in the eyes of God, contrary to two thousand
years of express church teaching. This is heresy. He attacked
long standing theology, universal liturgy, and theomistic natural law, when
his principal job was to preserve them. He even questioned
the concept of sin. Nevertheless, it was surreal when he
was brought into the guest house dining room using a

(53:22):
walker and an assistant at each arm. It was bizarre
when he sat with his back to us. I wanted
to go up with him, to him and greet him,
but the Swiss guards had warned us not to approach
him or even call his name. Two days later I
turned the corner in the guesthouse lobby and there he was,
ten feet away, just the two of us. I gently
bowed and whispered, your holiness. He looked at me and

(53:44):
moved on. Now mercifully, mercifully. Rather Francis is gone. I
pray for his soul, and I pray for his success
for plead successor, Please Lord, make the next pope be
a Catholic pope. Again summarized version of the entire column.

(54:05):
You can find it tonight after midnight. The worst pope
in history, just so, there was rather bold of Judge
nit Neapolitanic to speak his mind. But he is a
devout Catholic and I think he does speak for so
many of my Catholic friends out there that maybe not
as you know, eloquently stated, but spoke along similar lines.

(54:25):
Another Catholic friend of mine coming up, Christopher Smitheman with
a Smith event. He'll be on next. First word for
QC kinetics say is if you're living with pain, you
don't necessarily have to live with pain. Arthritis pain, thankfully.
And I want to knock with every time I said
I don't have it, and I don't want it. But
I know folks out there with knee pain, hit pain,

(54:46):
and you know they have trouble doing literally anything, especially
the fun more fun things in life, you know, playing games,
lifting up grandkids, pickleballs real popular right now. And I
suppose he got real bad knee pain. That's a real challenge.
You may be a great new candidate for these new

on the War of eighteen twelve, Power Youth Seminar, Jason
Williams from the Inquiry and the Cincinnatio or the Bengals

(56:17):
Stadium County Deal. And extra special Wednesday because the return
of Christopher Smitheman. Every Monday at seven to twenty we
hear from Christopher, former Vice Mayor of the City of
Cincinnati with a Smither event. If you didn't hear his
Monday's commentary Man he was on five, so go to
the podcast page videbothcarsee dot com Welcome back. Christopher Smithlan

(56:38):
got a word or two on yesterday's council meetings.

Speaker 10 (56:40):
Do you I do?

Speaker 7 (56:43):
I do?

Speaker 10 (56:43):
Brian?

Speaker 11 (56:44):
I you know, having been the Vice mayor of the city,
having served on the Planning Commission, you know I have
a unique perspective. First, I have the utmost respect for
the Planning Department in the City of society, serious professionals.
But just think that City Hall hammered out a zoning

(57:08):
code for our fifty two neighborhoods, and those neighborhoods depend
on that land usage, those rules, and to see city
council just move away from the agreement yesterday. I'm just
trying to make this plane where the height can only

(57:29):
be so far. I think it was fifty fifty feet.
They're talking about eighty five and the pushback away from
the street and the traffic.

Speaker 9 (57:40):
Meaning they're going to put in a garage below, and
Hyde Park is concerned about the traffic flow in that area.
The bottom line is four thousand people signing a petition
is massive for a community and city council, and the
mayor should be very concerned about that politically, and having

(58:02):
that many people show up to a city.

Speaker 11 (58:05):
Council meeting is also very significant and consequential. What's frustrating,
I think for the members of High Park is that
city Council is literally just throwing out the rules and
they're just saying, we're going to allow this developer to
do whatever they want to do. And number two, they
don't have to listen to us, the residents of High

(58:28):
Park who live here and who worked out the zoning
our for our city, but specifically for High Park. I
don't think there's any question that this hotel, apartment underground
garage is going to change High Park Square in a
major way. And so this is not a little deal.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
This is really big.

Speaker 9 (58:53):
That's why when you drive to High Park, Brian Thomas,
you see yard signs in people's yards reflect seeing their opposition.

Speaker 10 (59:02):
To this development deal.

Speaker 11 (59:03):
That is incredibly rare for someone to create a yard
time put it in their yard and say I'm against this.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Yeah. They had four thousand Hide Park residents signed the
Save Hyde Park Square petition, which you know, it opposes
the heightened density changes that the city improved yesterday.

Speaker 11 (59:23):
It's a thousand people can easily a thousand votes getting
in one direction could change the complexion of city council. Okay,
so this is incredibly important for any city council member
who wants to rethink how they voted in committee because
they can vote differently today. Some council members say, I'll

(59:43):
vote to advance it for the floor and vote against
it today. The bottom line here is that if I
were living in Hyde Park, there are a couple of
things that would be on my mind. One, what are
the rules and why have rules? The common sense kind
of thing. Number Two, I would be thinking who is
representing my interest? Like there are only two out of

(01:00:04):
nine that said, hey, you all are doing these variances
and you're changing what we agree to as far as
our zoning codes for High Park. If you live in
the other fifty one neighborhoods, you should be dialed into
this because if they're able to do this to High Park,
they're able to do it in the other fifty one neighborhoods,
and so all fifty two neighborhoods ultimately should.

Speaker 10 (01:00:26):
Be watching this very very closely. Here's what I would do.

Speaker 11 (01:00:30):
As a politician advising High Park we're in the middle
of a primary vote for mayor, and so those High
Park residents don't have to wait until November. They can
show up to the Board of Elections today and vote
for Corey Bowman for mayor, which would absolutely signal the
council that they're coming, meaning they'll be able to count

(01:00:53):
those votes. So they could run that tally up for
Pory Bowman starting today going into the may primary, which
would be very significant for Corey Bowman. Number two, that
they should never vote for nine people for city council anyway.
They should get together as a neighborhood and say, these
four thousand people that signed this petition, we're all going

(01:01:13):
to vote for the same five people, and we're not
going to vote for anybody who voted to advance this
deal and really break their word with us about what
the zoning laws are and the zoning rules were.

Speaker 10 (01:01:27):
For our neighborhood. This was a terrible vote. This was
a terrible vote.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
Brian Thomas, I agree. Can I just say that, yeah,
I agree with you completely. There's sort of two levels
of a fence built into this entire topic. So I'm
gonna pause, We'll bring it back. I want to dive
in a little bit more about it and also love
our listeners. Here the quote from Corey Bowman at the
meeting yesterday which would serve to advance his interest and

(01:01:53):
prove to the residence of Hyde Park that he is
a good man to vote for. So hang on. Christopher
Smithman more with the volume two six forty Here fifty
five KCV talk station having Wednesday, Brian Thomas and Christopher
Smithman talking about the vote from Sinsi City Council. It
was the Equitable Growth in Housing Committee voted seven to
two to approve a zoning change for Hyde Park. And

(01:02:14):
these well connected developers, notably p LK Communities, Loring Group
and North Point Group, they're the ones that put it
want to put in this ninety room boutique hotel, one
hundred and twenty unit apartment building with underground parking, and
then also changed the Lays building in the corner of
Edward and Erie remodeled to include about forty new apartments

(01:02:37):
in a mixed the street level retail and restaurant. A
lot of opposition from the residents of Hyde Park. Again
I mentioned more than four thousand Hide Park residents signed
the Save Hike Park Square petition against this, and after
five hours of public comments and questions, the council did
vote to advance this in a sevent to two vote. Now, Christopher,
this is a variance from the zoning that's in place,

(01:03:00):
and the zoning that's in place, didn't that come from
the connected communities? Vote from council to deprive all of
the various neighborhoods in the city the right to determine
their own destiny when it comes to development. That one
size fits all. Some of them were, some communities were
in favor of it, others didn't like the idea. But
isn't that the framework from which these these connected developers

(01:03:26):
are asking for a variance?

Speaker 10 (01:03:30):
The answer is yes.

Speaker 11 (01:03:32):
The what the heart of it is the rules are
in place for a reason, Brian Thomas, just for these
situations where the rules should have protected the High Park community,
not members of council saying without an explanation by the
way of why they're deciding to allow this variance. And

(01:03:53):
so High Park is saying this is going to change,
you know our High Park Square that we know. I
agree with them, the traffic, the height, the side, you know,
the massive structure there. It is going to be a
daunting development for the High Park residents. I would suspect

(01:04:15):
Brian Thomas, as you, being a lawyer, they're going to sue.
I think this thing is going to end up in
court and they're going to have to answer these questions
under some depositions. That's very possible about why city Council
is deciding to go against their own rules. But I
think the remedy is a political one, and I think,

(01:04:36):
as I have said, you mentioned before we went to
break that Corey Bowman went and spoke before council that
there is a.

Speaker 10 (01:04:43):
Primary happening right now. Those residents that went were saying,
we're going.

Speaker 9 (01:04:48):
To have a vote in November. Many of them might
not know because you know a lot of citizens don't
participate in primaries. They can send the message right now
over at the Board of Elections by going over there
and voting for Corey Bowman.

Speaker 11 (01:05:02):
If his vote count goes high, it would be incredibly
scary for the members of city Council. And the second
thing is for members of Hyde Park who are listening
to your show, is to not vote, not vote for
more than five people for city council and for all
four thousand of those citizens to only vote for those

(01:05:23):
five people. It would change the majority of council in
November while the lawsuit is happening. Hopefully they get some
type of release where there's some injunction which forces the
parties to come together and this development is unable to
move forward until the election is over. You get a
new council, you get a new mayor, you get this

(01:05:45):
thing stopped in Hyde Park. It reminds me of the
parking deal where the mayor had decided to sell the
entire parking system in the city of Cincinnati. We got
a new mayor, which was John Cranley, and that thing
would stop with saying days. If not, all the parking
in the City of Cincinnati would have been sold to
a private entity and we would have been looking like Chicago,

(01:06:07):
which I know you spent a lot of time. Yeah,
we didn't want to look like Chicago as it related
to parking, and Hyde Park doesn't want to look like
a neighborhood that is doesn't reflect the character of the
homes there and that particular business district. I just think
it's all bad, and I get the sense that council

(01:06:29):
and the mayor are not listening to the residents who
live there and pay exorbitant taxes to live in a.

Speaker 10 (01:06:37):
High park area.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
Yeah, they do. And part of the Hyde Park Square
is very unique, and many neighborhoods kind of wish they
had a Hyde Park Square like environment because it does
serve the property value or serve the homeowners in the
area because it does keep the property values up. Yeap
Corey Bowman's and here's the quote from the Enquirer's reporting

(01:06:58):
it from Sidney Franklin Randy Tucker. I guess they were
there at the meeting. Corey Bummen said, the voters entrusted
this body to always consider the community's desires above all else. However,
if you violate that trust today by placing special interest
above the community, the community's only recourse would be to
vote you out of office. And I think that is

(01:07:18):
exactly what they should do. I mean, I talked to
Corey when he was on the program about this, but
when they hadn't voted yet, and I said, listen, man,
you know they're typically very you know, blue leaning Democrat
voting folks in Hyde Park. This may serve your interests
well if they decide to override what the residents there
want and it looks like exactly where the direction they're going.

Speaker 10 (01:07:39):
I agree.

Speaker 9 (01:07:40):
I mean, think about the four thousand voters in High Park,
but think if they're able to convince mout lookout in
Oakley to also understand the ramifications of this project related
to all of them. And so you know, all of
a sudden, you can have you know, seven thousand citizens
going into vote and voting in a certain direction. We

(01:08:01):
can have a new mayor, and we could have a
new city council. So city council members who might be
listening to the show, and they might be new, they
might not understand this is a very dangerous vote for
them politically, and it should be.

Speaker 10 (01:08:15):
It shouldn't be.

Speaker 11 (01:08:15):
The only reason they make this decision, but they should
make it because it's.

Speaker 10 (01:08:20):
The right thing to do.

Speaker 11 (01:08:22):
If I were a member of council, if I were
the vice mayor right now, I would be asking for
a thirty day pause. I would demand that developers and
the community leaders get together. I would have representative from
representatives from city Council at those negotiations, and I would
make sure that the height was appropriate for the residents

(01:08:43):
and they felt comfortable. The last thing I want to
say about this for the High Park residents is they
aren't against development. They're acting as if the residents of
Highe Park are against the advancement of this entire project.
They just want the project and the renderings to fit
in to the historic district of High Park, and without that,

(01:09:04):
they don't want the project. If the project were in
line with the zoning that's in place, the High Park
residents would have no problems with this development project moving forward.

Speaker 10 (01:09:14):
And I think that's a very important point.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Yeah, well, I mean, Hyde Park should be their council
should be in a position to represent the interests of
their own residents, and they're better connected with the residents
and the residence desires and the folks at City Hall
in downtown Cincinnati, I would imagine based upon what happened yesterday.
But like, I want to go back to the whole
idea of the connected communities that this is like the

(01:09:37):
second insult to the various communities in the city. The
city council voted for this Connected Communities proposal, which limits
development to certain types of development, encourages you know, higher
density housing and all that kind of stuff, and they
foisted that on all of the neighborhoods in spite of
the fact that some of the neighborhoods didn't want that

(01:09:58):
connected community proposal to take place in their neighborhood. There
were concerns about you know, single family homes and the
values being impacted because somebody comes in and builds like
a you know, a six flat next door or something
like that. So that the original insult was that we're
not going to let you neighborhood determine your own future

(01:10:19):
with your own zoning. Then they come back and they
let these developers go around the connected communities thing, which
they foisted it on the entire city of Cincinnati. And
essentially what I'll boil down to is the screw up
the nature of Hyde Park Square. So you know, it's
like a twofold insult from city council. That's that's my

(01:10:41):
take on it.

Speaker 10 (01:10:41):
Anyway, No, I agree.

Speaker 9 (01:10:45):
I live in a neighborhood called North Avondale, Yeah, the
fifty two neighborhoods, and we there is a there is
a piece of land that's on the corner of.

Speaker 11 (01:10:55):
Reading Road and Paddocks Road right at the almost the
top of our of my street, and there's been an
ongoing fight and struggle about that particular project, and I
remember one time they were wanting to put a McDonald's there,
which would have destroyed that corner. In my opinion, it's
not a location for a McDonald it's a location for

(01:11:18):
some type of condo or some type of housing project
that our apartment project that makes sense. My point is
that North Avendale came together and fought that off, right.
So this is neighborhoods that do this all the time,
and they should be listened to. And I'm just sharing

(01:11:38):
with you, Brian, it is rare. I can't even name
a time where there was five hours of testimony in
a committee when I was when I was the vice mayor.
I mean, I've heard of a couple of hours, but
not five hours. And so this is a very important
vote for members of council, and if I were on council,

(01:12:01):
I would vote.

Speaker 9 (01:12:02):
No on it. I also would introduce legislation immediately for
immediate consideration for a thirty day pause which allows the
parties to get together, and I would not allow this
developer to get around the zoning. And I would continue
to make it clear if I were a High Park
resident that I'm for development. This is about these aren't

(01:12:23):
people that are saying they're against development, they just wanted
to fit within the zoning, as you have articulated this
morning for their neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
Well, I can argue with you. You and are on
the same page on this one, Christopher, And you know
I'm glad you anticipated my question, which is do you
ever remember five hours of comments? So the answer is no.
Obviously this struck a nerve among the residents of Hyde Park,
and I certainly can understand why, Christopher. Always a pleasure
to have you on the program, even if it's not
Monday at seven twenty, but I will look forward to

(01:12:54):
Monday at seven twenty. Take care of my Brian alrightyty
Brother six fifty four fifty five KRCV Talk station Tday, Wednesday,
coming out after the top of our news. It's the
big picture with Jack. Out of them who were well,
I am always enjoyed having him on the program. He's

(01:13:14):
a brilliant man, always offering wonderful insight, and I'm sure
we'll get a load of that today after the news
One World Government.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
HG.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
Wells was wrong subject matter of his topic today Donovan
and Neil at seven thirty. Apparently there is an Ohio
version of the Rains Act. Don'd going to give us
the info on that. At seven thirty Fast forward a
little more than an hour when Power You Used. Dan
Regnell joins the program. He's gonna be doing a seminar
on War of eighteen twelve. We'll get a little bit
of info about that. Jason Williams from the inquiry about
the County and Bengals stadium funding memorandum of understanding or

(01:13:46):
whatever they reached the other day about who's going to
pay for what phase one of four phases. And then
we're going to do some work for the Parkinsons Group
a the twenty twenty five Harvey Chayette Spring Forum. Maureen
Gardner's going to talk about that at the tail end
of the show. Stick around, folks, I'll be right back
after the news with Jack add in.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
News happens fast, Stay up to date. At the top
of the hour, we're moving very quickly. At fifty five
krc the talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
This week.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
It's seven oh six, I think about KRCD talk station.
A very happy Wednesday to you, always made extra special
with Jack added and joining the program every Wednesday at
this time to do the big pictures. What we call
it welcome back, Jack Adad and my good friend. It's
a pleasure to have you back on the show.

Speaker 12 (01:14:43):
Nice got to be back. Brother. You and I both
had time away last week. You sound well rested.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Yeah, you know, I may sound more well rested than
I am. Actually feeling what I characterized as malaise coming
back and just I don't know why, you know, I
try to think, you know, lament my problems and issues
on the air. No one gives a hell of a
crap about what's going on in my head. Do want
to hear about the news and what's going on. But yeah,

(01:15:12):
I felt like I needed a vacation off of my
vacation and I didn't go anywhere. It wasn't like I traveled,
and then you know, landed on Sunday and had to
get geared up to get up at two thirty in
the morning on Monday. I said, I don't know, just
I didn't get the battery recharge that was really hoping for.
And maybe that's part part of where my malaise came from.
But I'm fine overall, I'm doing great. I can't complain really,

(01:15:34):
even though I sound like I am.

Speaker 12 (01:15:36):
We all care how you're doing. I spent the week
with my mom down in Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
Yeah, how was that?

Speaker 12 (01:15:43):
Books? Instead of each day's screaming headlines. There are fun
books that bank no lasting impact, but others. Brian changed history.
When Abraham Lincoln I met Harriet Beecher Stowe lived for
a while here in Cincinnati, the President reportedly said, so,
you're the little woman who wrote the book that made

(01:16:06):
this great war, meaning, of course, the Civil War. Her
novel was Uncle Tom's Cabin that exposed the horrors of slavery.
Charles Dickens had exposed the horrors of many Victorian boarding
schools in his novel Nicholas Nickleby, and in Oliver Twist
he showed how London's orphaned boys were taught to become pickpockets.

(01:16:28):
Upton Sinclair, an American, exposed filthy and unjust conditions at
Chicago's stockyards in the Jungle. And then there was h. G. Wells.
Has he fit into this well? President Trump is now
negotiating trade agreements with more than one hundred separate nations.

(01:16:49):
But Herbert George Wells wanted something different, one world government.
Where did that come from? Well, if you were pretty
gullible or very drunk listening to the radio honor Halloween
in nineteen thirty eight, he went screaming out into the streets,
believing that Martians were invading Earth. Your dad would have
remembered this. That was thanks to Wells' novel The War

(01:17:12):
of the Worlds that have been turned by Orson Wells
no relation to HG. Into a phony live news broadcast
on CBS. You noticed, folks, that eighty six years later,
CBS once again has phony newscasts. But the science fiction
pioneer wrote another book that had a much greater impact.

(01:17:35):
In nineteen nineteen, HG. Wellsby and publishing his Outline of History,
eventually selling more than two million copies in many languages
around the world, a tremendous number. Wells is not a
professional historian. Still, he knew that people everywhere wanted to
know how a world that have produced Moses, the Buddha,

(01:17:57):
and Jesus Shakespeare, America's founders, how that world could have
been blown to bits by the First World War. Everyone
hoped World War One would be the war to end
all wars, but realists knew that the Versailles Treaty they
negotiated afterward, which left Germany's starving would only lead to

(01:18:19):
another bloodthirsty dictatorship. They feared communism, they got the Nazis. Wells,
a year after the First World War, offered a solution.
He argued that all of history, from the creation of
the universe, through ancient Rome, the age of Kings, and

(01:18:39):
straight into World War One, all of history, Brian, he believed,
was humanity's unconscious longing for one world government, not the
kind of world empire that Alexander the Great and Napoleon
fought for, instead a cooperative world government.

Speaker 10 (01:18:58):
HG.

Speaker 12 (01:18:58):
Wells was a socialist. He insisted that nationalism, the rule
of separate nation states, was the root of the world's evils,
as well as wrote, and I quote to trace the
history of mankind for the past ten thousand years, as
we have done in this book, makes us realize that

(01:19:19):
we are moving toward a world unification based on a
fundamental social revolution. I love HG. Wells. Let me put
that in for all the trekkers who are now getting mad.
His outline is still well worth reading. But Brian, we
must remember that when Wells was writing socialism, much less

(01:19:40):
one world government had not been tried. The Russian Revolution
was only two years old, Socialism had not yet been
proved a catastrophic failure. In nineteen nineteen h she Well's
own Great Britain was soon to lose its empire, as
mistreated colonies around the world demanded freedom, much as America

(01:20:01):
had demanded freedom one hundred and fifty years before. Except
for a few years under Margaret Thatcher, Britain tried nationalizing
industry and social services and has never recovered. France also
opened its borders to millions of former colonists, and now
it scripes along economically by insulting tourists. West Germany prospered

(01:20:25):
after World War Two with massive help from America, but
after reunification the East German Angela Merkel, who had attended
Carl Marx University. Merkel welcomed cheap foreign labor, and she
got mass rapes and a reliance on Russian energy. Italy
had tried fascism under Mussolini until he and his mistress

(01:20:48):
got strung up in public. Italy then elected dozens of
socialist and communist governments until for the first time, Donald
Trump's new pal, the conservative not fascist, the Conservative of
Georgia Maloney became a hero to her own people by
encouraging free market capitalism, much as an ocean away, bushy

(01:21:11):
haired disco dancing Javier Malay is doing right now in Argentina,
which had been ruined for generations by the socialist actually
fascist Avita Moron. All of which is to say, don't
cry for socialism and don't dream about it. As HG. Wells,
George Bernard Shaw, Upton Sinclair countless others did better to remember,

(01:21:36):
as we always do Lord Acton's quote that power tends
to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. In our own
time here at home, John Kerry and Barbarack Obama and
the One World Government bunch at Daffos, Switzerland, they've plunged
us into our present mess by selling out each of

(01:21:59):
their countries and the small businesses and workers in each
of their countries, in favor of wage slaves in socialist
paradises by communists China. Donald Trump realizes that the solution
to this exploitation is not to be found at the
One World United Nations, which is a star Wars bar

(01:22:20):
where gangster governments, communists, and jahadists all have an open
tab funded by American taxpayers. No, the real solution is
something that left used to believe before it's sold out
to globalist billionaires. Small is beautiful, small, independent and efficient

(01:22:41):
Trump Elon Musk, Big Balls, and the rest of the
Doje merry band. They're flexing their muscles not to make
themselves millions, not to expand their own power, but to
shrink big government and one world government. To protect America's
middle class and home based industries, steel, pharmaceuticals, ships, AI,

(01:23:04):
everything else essential to our national security. They are fighting
for expanded legal immigration by scientists and all others who
can make America great again, not gang bankers who sold
contributions a vote, ultimately millions of votes for democratic socialism.

(01:23:24):
Like minded allies like Georgia Maloney and Javier Malay are
also trying to bring their own individual countries peace, prosperity
based on fair trade and their own national greatness. In
some Brian it's understandable that HG. Wells and other socialists
in nineteen nineteen wanted to kick out the kings who

(01:23:47):
started the Great War to expand their empires. But I'd
liked to think that were he alive today, had he
seen the epic failure of socialist empires like the USSR
and Red China. Wells would have embraced the United States,
whose constitution strictly defines federal power, divides it among three

(01:24:08):
branches of governments, and limits government even further by recognizing
the essential rights, the god given rights of each of
our fifty states, and above all, each of our three
hundred and forty million citizens. Give me this nation, the
United States of America, over a world government of unified

(01:24:28):
elites any day.

Speaker 10 (01:24:31):
What do you say?

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
I agree with you completely. And you know the problem
with socialism as I've always seen it. Of course, the
state controls the means of production and we all get to,
you know, feed at the the from the tablecloth crumbs
that the leaders throw down to us. It's a deprivation
of rights, I mean, governments and the gate rights. And
the bigger the government, the more globalist it is, the

(01:24:52):
more centralized it is, the less we get to enjoy
any freedoms. We are literally told how to live our lives.
And I think that runs I'm try to human nature
at its core. We want to be able to choose
for ourselves and not be told how to live. And
socialism runs contrary to God's nature.

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
Oh absolutely, Once for us.

Speaker 12 (01:25:11):
By the way, you and Judge Napoloitano are going to
be talking about the passing of Pope Francis.

Speaker 10 (01:25:17):
What did H. G.

Speaker 12 (01:25:18):
Wells think of Jesus Well Wells, you won't be surprised
to hear he saw him as a utopian socialist who
exhorted his father's followers to give up private possessions and power. Okay,
that's what he said, as when Jesus refused to promise
John and James places at his right and left hands.
But here on earth, all that is akin to Marx

(01:25:41):
and engels prediction that socialist governments would wither away in
a wash of benevolence. Yet es centrally after Wells rope
Brian in nearly two centuries after Karl Marx, we now
know that socialist leaders have never disbanded their states right,
and they never will until we meet Angels again. As

(01:26:01):
Lord Acton said, power corrupts and governments only grow. So
our goal should be the smallest, most decentralized government necessary
to maintain security and freedom, which is what the founders
gave us exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
And you know the whole concept of socialism, of Marxism,
it exists on the basis of this theoretical yet always
proven wrong idea that the leaders are actually looking out
for our best interest and not their own. And as
it turns out, we all know politicians tend to run
for politics and political office because they're malignant narcissists who

(01:26:36):
only care about themselves and their own best interests. It's
the antithesis of the theory of socialism. We always end
up with a far worse place because they're corrupt, absolute
power crups. Absolutely.

Speaker 12 (01:26:48):
Yeah, And these narcissists are now condemning volunteers in the
government Hilon Musk, who have actually done things in life
and want to go back to their profitable life, and
they say, no, leave it to us who have never
done anything.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
Yeah. Isn't it odd that these crazies that are running
them up in the street calling Elon Muska fascist and
Donald Trump at fascist obviously do not know the definition
of what fascism is, but they actually get away with
making these outrageous charges. You know, Elon Musk wasn't elected. Well,
as if every administration doesn't have people that are appointed

(01:27:24):
to help out. You know, we're all surrounded with people
who help guide our decision making, and he's just merely
guiding decision making and he doing it for free. Lord
a Mike.

Speaker 12 (01:27:35):
Mean, the cars are not getting away with it. Some
of them are going to jail. But I hope more
importantly the people who are paying for the signs that
they're parading around with it and they're putting them up
to this, I hope those people are going to have
to face consequences too.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
Amen to that, Jack Edin and always brilliant and insightful. Today,
of course, no difference from the norm. We'll look forward
to having another edition of The Big Picture with you
next Wednesday at seven five. Between now and then, much
love to you and your better half, and have a
fantastic week, my friend. Jan nine. First warning weather forecast.

a few clouds. Partly cloudy day tomorrow, perhaps an isolated
storm to our shower Tomorrow afternoon seventy nine to be
the high down to fifty overnight with isolated storms are possible,
and Friday scattered showers and storms during the day. I
have seventy three fifty one degrees right now, Let's get

(01:28:36):

that wreck. SAP PEN seventy five slows through. Lachlan Ingram
on fifty five krs Deep Talk Station.

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
Seven twenty four or fifty five car see de talk station.
Let just kind of wonder how long it takes them
to put together those eloquent thoughts and ideas. So nice
having Jack on the program every week to offer some
of that, well, that insight and the food for thought,
things that make you go, things make you step back
and sort of maybe not be so knee jerk reaction

(01:29:36):
to these insane concepts that are floating around from you know,
theoretical ideas which when you put them in place, really
don't work out as suggested on paper. Thus has been
the case with socialism and Marxism ever since their concepts
were pulled out of the sphincters of the respective individuals
who thought them up. And I really do go back

(01:29:58):
to the corruption and the and the self centered nature
of most of our politicians, and we vote for him
and it seems to me the best and brightest among us.
I mean taking Elon Musk. The man is a multi
multi billionaire because he built companies that actually provided something

(01:30:20):
that apparently we wanted. And then he's willing to take
us time away from his business, which has precipitously dropped
because of his lack of leadership, because he's not there.
He's doing a job for free for on behalf of
the American people, but because these crazy protesters are running
him up in the street being angry because he's cut

(01:30:41):
programs that reflect and reveal how much these corrupt governments
waste our money. And he's revealing the inefficiencies of government
and the utter waste and disrespect for the American taxpayer.
And that's something you want to protest. I would think

(01:31:02):
that every person, regardless of political stripe, would want to
know that their hard earned taxpayer dollars have been absolutely
wasted and squandered. How is that bad for anyone? We're
on a highway to hell in terms of reckless government spending,
I mean in terms of spending generally speaking, and if

(01:31:25):
you want to salvage anything that you've got, and maybe
there in lies the challenge. Maybe they're in lines the rub.
They're out protesting because they have no interest in salvaging
this country, saving it, preserving our freedoms and liberties. Maybe
they're all out there, including aftab Pervoll, blocking streets because
they want a one world government. And one way to

(01:31:46):
get there is to not the most successful government with
the most income and revenue and the biggest consumer on
the planet that keeps half the planet, if not more, running.
Maybe that's it. They don't say it out loud, though,
do they. And that's what's always been puzzling to me.

(01:32:07):
They never articulate that that's their goal. So I find
that goal to be offensive and bad for everyone. Literally,
But if that's really what they want, why don't they
say it out loud? If it's a concept that a
lot of people would embrace, why don't they say it
out loud? No, they just scream and yell and name call,

(01:32:30):
which is not debate. It's not argument. It's not advancement
of ideas that may resonate with people. It's just you're
a Nazi, you're a fascist, you're evil, and I'm sorry
that doesn't resonate with me. It's not an argument. Name
calling is not argumentative or supportive of any particular concept

(01:32:54):
or idea that again may resonate with folks. Seven twenty

Rains Act, a state level Rains Act here in Ohio.
That'll be next. First, you're dreaming of a smile that's
as brilliant as it is natural. You need doctors Megan
Freu and doctor Fred Pack the dynamic duel of dentistry.

(01:33:15):
Starting with doctor Pack, there couldn't You can't find a
better cosmetic dentist. He's only one of three accredited fellows
with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry in the entire
state of Ohio. I think there's only like fifty of
them on the planet. I have seen before and after
photos of a lot of the work that he's done
over the years life transforming, without question, just radically transforming

(01:33:37):
people's lives. So if youve got a smile you're not
happy with, you put your hand in front of your
mouth because you don't want people to see your teeth
embarrassed by it. Perhaps could be anything you need. Doctors
Peck and Fruit Megan Freu working on her way to accreditation,
and she is the most She's the sweetest, nicest person.
It's going to make you feel comfortable if you're one

and that is not me because I've been seeing doctor

WEBCARECD talk Station Heavy Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
No Judge to Polatona today. He had a prior engagement,
so I did read from his column this morning. But
today we get the return of Donovan and Neil from
Americans for Prosperity. Donovan, welcome back to the morning show,
my friend. It's always great having you on prank. Good
to be back with you. And so we got a
high version of the Rains Act regulations from the Executive

(01:34:55):
in Need of Scrutiny Act. Is that what we're talking
about here.

Speaker 9 (01:35:00):
Absolutely, We've got the opportunity to get that done here
in the Buckeye State and it's never been more important.

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
All right, Well, let's break it down from my listening
audience and for me too as well. Let's talk about
what we why we need it, and why it's so important.

Speaker 10 (01:35:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:35:13):
Well, when you talk about regulatory reform, there's a couple
of different things you can do, and we're seeing that
happen here in Ohio over the last several years. But
we're seeing an extra level of spotlight on it at
the national level with the new Trump administration and what
they're doing with things like dough So what you got
to do first, is you got to inventory the red tape.
You got to know how bad the problem is, right,

(01:35:35):
the red tape and regulations, and we've got that here
in Ohio through some bills we've passed over the last
few years.

Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
The other thing you could do is you can doze
it up, right.

Speaker 9 (01:35:43):
You can take that Government Efficiency Department and really start
looking and just refining and cutting and removing the excess
agencies and spending that doesn't need to be there. But
if you want to really stop the growth, which is
I think the important thing to do here, right, we've
got to stop the proliferation and growth of regulations. You
need the Rains Act, which proactively requires any ruler regulation

(01:36:08):
over a certain dollar threshold. And we could break that
down for you here in a minute, But any ruler
regulation over a dollar certain dollar threshold from the executives
the governor in this case in Ohio to go before
the entire legislative body. So they've got to convince a
majority of one hundred and thirty two members across the
House and Senate that this is a good idea that
putting these new rules and rags going to have a

(01:36:30):
significant cost to the economy are a good idea and
the intent of the legislature when they originally passed whatever
law the governor's citing for this new authority.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
Which I mean baron lies the problem in a federal government,
and unfortunately, the Supreme Court, the United States Supreme Court
stepped in and on its own has helped pair back
certain rags, like a tablespoon of water is not a
navigable stream, even though the eggheads behind the scenes of
the EPA determined the that it was by implementing an

(01:37:03):
arbitrary and capricious regulation, and that has a significant and
profound impact on so much land use. So Supreme Court said, no, no,
you can't do that. The power or the regulations must
specifically come from an authority that was delegated under the law,
and you've exceeded that authority. So it's kind of a
sliding scale moving approach. The Rains Act actually would be

(01:37:24):
a law codifying that reality. So for anything that impacts
the economy more than an x number of dollars, which
we'll get to in a minute, that the legislative branch
has to specifically approve the regulation.

Speaker 9 (01:37:38):
That's right, and this is going to force legislatures to
do things that they've sort of abdicated over the last
several decades, right, which is saying we don't have you
claiming we don't have the expertise to create the definition
of the law really really do law making, which is
our job, which is really their job. Right, We're going
to hand it over to another agency, another branch of government,
then deal with it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:59):
Yeah, here's a couple of words on a sheet of paper.
You guys do all the laboring work behind the scenes.
And oh, by the way, none of you are accountable
to the voters for doing what you do. Let's pause.
We'll bring Donovan and Neil back and get some of
the specifics on this. The dollar mounts. One of the
things I'm curious about seven thirty five right now. If
you have k C the talk station, and one of
the things you need to do if you need new

(01:38:19):
lawn equipment Bud Herbert Motors. Yes, my lawnmower is a
powered mower. Mom, it's a push mower, but you know,
I stand behind it and I let it go along.
It's Mary way. She was giving me a hard time
thinking I had some sort of old school push mower
than the old school rotary kind of things. But I
got it at Bud Herbert Motors. And this is the
fundamental point. Had a terrible experience at the box store.

(01:38:41):
My dear friend Westside Jim Keefer said, Brian, I heard
you complaining about the box store mower and the one
you had to take back be aause of concd out.
Just call Bud Herbert Motors and I did, and I
was so happy I did, And that's why I'm so
pleased to be able to pass along the good news
to use five generation family owner operating. You'll be working
with one of the prow Herbert family members. Their name

Speaker 1 (01:40:45):
The talk station.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
At seven forty or fifty five KRCD talks station Donald
and Neil Americans for Prosperity going over this Ohio version
of the Rains Act. And I think it's an important
piece of legislation. You know, I gotta go back to
the high comedy that we just briefly touched upon there
at the end. You know, we elect people to represent
us in Columbus, and they're not experts. That they're not.

(01:41:11):
I mean, they may be an expert in some given field.
I mean, there could be a physician up there who
was a cardiac specialist, and if you ask them things
about cardiac issues or medical issues related related to your heart,
he could probably answer questions all day long. But if
you ask them something about technology, he'll give you a
deer in the headlights kind of look. And yet they
are legislating literally over every aspect of our lives, people

(01:41:33):
who don't have a fundamental understanding of what they're legislating over.
It reminds me that we elected somebody to member of Congress.
They thought Guam was going to capsize if we built
another building on it. That's how dumb some of them are, right, Donovan.
So what happened? Somebody gets a bug in their ear
and it's probably some lobbyists looking out for some companies

(01:41:55):
or some industries own best interests and says, you really
need to pass the law that does and it has
some appeal and it resonates with half of these members,
and they think, you know, that sounds like a great idea,
but the devils in the details. They don't put the
details into the legislation. They just pass it. You know,
widgets shall be manufactured according to industry standards, and then

(01:42:15):
somebody can behind the scenes, creates industry standards and ends
up regulating something to the point where it makes it
too expensive or whatever happens. But they're dumb collectively speaking,
and I don't need to be insulting to them. I
am dumb on a whole lot of topics as well.
But that's where all these regulations come from, right, they
go to the back room, and they got the eggheads

(01:42:36):
in the back who purport to be experts, although Donovan,
we don't know that they necessarily are either right for
the same reasons, I just illustrated with the elected officials.
They just happen to work in any given apartment, which
means somebody like Rassmuton is whispering in their ear and
feeding them the details about what regulations need to be passed,

(01:42:57):
and they put them on paper and say here, we
did the work for you. Oh yeah, that was good.
And then they implement the regulations and we end up
with a big tab for it, and that tab can
be literally millions of dollars in additional cost of business
and industry and the taxpayers here in Ohio. I mean,
if I got that pretty much boiled down, even if
you wouldn't have put it that way, I think you've

(01:43:18):
got it.

Speaker 9 (01:43:19):
You hit the nail on the head, Brian, And I
think that's part of what the founding fathers. I think
it's many ways envision right was a citizenry that represents
the people and runs our government. And I think the
idea here it needs to be. I think the resputant
analogy is pretty spot on, because well, we think we
really want writer legislators who ask a lot of really

(01:43:40):
hard questions, and it still doesn't quite add up. The
idea doesn't go anywhere. But I think too often what
we find is they will get a crisis presented to
them and they will be told if you don't pass this,
x number of your constituents are going to die or
get sick or pass away, or you know this or
that is going to happen. It's the government does an

(01:44:00):
act and they they rather than asking a hard question,
slowing the process down and making sure they really deeply
understand it before they give the government more power, they
just pass the law and expect the executive to figure
it out, like you're saying, right, And I think legislation
like the Rains Act right will put the put the
onus back on the people who we directly elect. Many

(01:44:22):
of us personally know, right, they go to our churches,
our gym, they shop at the Kroger we shop at right,
and give us the ability to actually ask them those
hard questions, to put it back on them to do
the job they were likely to do, which is really
understand how important these issues are.

Speaker 10 (01:44:37):
Do they actually, do we actually need.

Speaker 9 (01:44:39):
To be giving the government more power and authority when
when there's when there's when something's presented to them, and
if they can't if that, if that case can't be
crewly made, the legislature should be kicking these bills out
and saying no, this isn't a job for the government.

Speaker 2 (01:44:52):
This forces this Rain's Act forces a thoughtful, contemplative analysis
before the law gets passed and before regulation gets passed,
and in fact requires pretty much the regulatory work to
be incorporated into the law. Is that a fair statement.

Speaker 9 (01:45:09):
Yeah, well, it's actually after the law's passed, right, And
so what we see happen, Like, let me ask you this, Brian,
did Congress ever authorize eliminating gas powered vehicles in the
United States by twenty thirty?

Speaker 1 (01:45:20):
What law did the Congress pass that said do this?

Speaker 3 (01:45:23):
Right?

Speaker 14 (01:45:23):
EPA cafe standards? Yeah, yeah, So I think that's a
great example. It's been coming out of beings around the
state we've been having on this, is that Congress never
said to do this. Some bureaucrat, a really smart one,
came up with that idea, developed it and put it
into place because they had an executive whould do it
rainsac would force those ideas back to the in this

(01:45:44):
case Congress, to the legislature and say, hey, did you
really mean this as an authority you gave, you know,
back in nineteen seventies, when you gave the epa more authority.

Speaker 10 (01:45:54):
Or is this a step too far? And I hope
would be Congress would say that's a step too far.

Speaker 9 (01:45:59):
If nothing else, just not act on it, and so
the rule or law, the regulation would die.

Speaker 1 (01:46:06):
That could happen as well.

Speaker 9 (01:46:07):
But that's the idea is it's how we get bureaucrats
who do creative interpretations of the law. It's going to
put those folks in a real jam and slow them
down to the benefit of the American people.

Speaker 2 (01:46:20):
You it forced them to hold hearings with you know,
the pros and con advocates each side, which they can
weigh and analyze and put some thought into it before
they say, yeah, you know that regulation is actually a
good one and it's worthy, the expenditure of money is
actually worth it, so we are going to give our
stamp of approval on it. Or no, you didn't convince me,
or it's too expensive, it's too much of a bonus

(01:46:41):
on the on the Ohio voters. Sorry, we're not we're
not gonna. We can't go with that. I like the idea.
I think it's an excellent one. It would solve a
lot of problems. Which is this House Bill eleven? Do
I have that right?

Speaker 10 (01:46:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:46:57):
It's House Bill eleven.

Speaker 9 (01:46:58):
It's had three hearings so far, and we're we're being told,
but we're going to keep you know, we'll see we
want to see it happen. We want to see it
get on the schedule. It should get a hearing, and
hopefully we'll get actually voted out of the Ohio House
a week from today, next Wednesday. It's why we put
the coalition letter out. We're raising the alarm bells this
week to make sure it's top of mind for legislators

(01:47:19):
and their constituents going into session next week.

Speaker 2 (01:47:22):
All right, what's the dollar figure that kicks in that
requires them to go through this process after a law
has passed and a regulation comes out.

Speaker 9 (01:47:31):
Well, there are three triggers here. So one is compliance costs. Right,
So when a new rule is implemented, you've got to
probably hire new lawyers or hr professionals or other folks
right into your business. So if compliance costs go up
at one hundred thousand dollars, it will trigger if it
requires the agency to expand its budget by over one

(01:47:51):
hundred thousand dollars, it would trigger the rains Act review.
But most importantly, if a new rule of regulation would
have a drive on the economy greater than a million dollars.
All right, so they put these tailpipe emission laws into place,
and it's going to kill the auto industry. That's a
major drag to the economy. Right, But in Ohio, the
rule proposed by the governor's over a million dollars, it

(01:48:12):
would trigger sending it to the legislature. You might be wondering, Okay,
how many would that be? How much more work are
we putting on our poor.

Speaker 10 (01:48:22):
State representatives and standers to have that?

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
I wrote more bills. I wrote that down as a question.
You saw right through that go ahead.

Speaker 9 (01:48:32):
Eighty three incounter. You're twenty three and twenty four. There
were about eighty three rules that the Legislative Service Commission
said would probably trigger for the rain BacT review. And
we think that's a good thing. What we don't want
is thousands of rules, small, large, and of all sizes.
Going back to the legislature at this stage because they

(01:48:53):
wouldn't want the most egregious right.

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
They wouldn't vote for the Rains Act if that if
they were going to have to deal with that level
of war work. That's why I wrote it down. It's
going to make our elected officials actually do more work,
which usually I would think they wouldn't be inclined to
vote for something like that.

Speaker 9 (01:49:11):
Well, and we want the work that they do on
this to be very focused because right now, in fact,
we have, through the Common Sense Initiative and the Joint
Committee on Agency World Review, every rule in regulation is
viewed by a select committee of legislators to approve those
rules that the governor would put into place or their
agencies would look to implement. The problem there, Brian, though,

(01:49:34):
is you start to go blind seeing all the different
rules and rags. Many of them might be necessary or
intended as part of the laws that were passed. But
what we want to make sure gets an extra level
of scrutiny in through the Rains Act is are those
laws that have those fiscal impacts right, They're going to
grow government by one hundred thousand or more, They're going
to have a million dollar economic drag on the economy.

Speaker 2 (01:49:55):
They're going to put extra compliance costs.

Speaker 9 (01:49:58):
We want to start there, stop those most egregious, most
economic reformful regulations from moving as quickly as they might.
And in this case, over the past two years, we
had eighty three of them. We think eighty three eighty
three rules and rags going to the legislature for their
extra scrutiny and the people's input is a good thing
and not a big ask of folks we send a columbus.

Speaker 2 (01:50:20):
I would agree completely with that wholeheartedly. All right, call
to action? Where do we go to get more information
to help out? Obviously contacting our elected officials and saying
vote for House Built eleven, But beyond that which website

(01:51:09):
to recommend Susette Low's Camp to you with Cross Country
Mortgage some mortgage broker, which means, you know, it's not
just like working with a single bank. You know, my
daughter and her fiance went down out road and the
bank was slow and dragging its feet, wasn't being very responsive.
Suzette's got access to all kinds of different mortgage products
from Friday to different companies, so she can quickly and

(01:51:30):
efficiently get you in the right products. She'll find great
rates at a low cost, and isn't that important. So
she helped my daughter. I think it took her like
two days to get financing and they are happily enjoying
their home together. So Susette urges all loan applications and
applicants to insist on personal service from the perspective mortgage lender,
and she will find the right program to fit your needs.

(01:51:51):
And she prides herself on a quality service for her clients.
A wonderful lady. You'll thoroughly enjoy working with her, and
she will do a great job for you, as she

Dan Reganold, Welcome back to the fifty five Krsey Morning Show.
My friend, it's always a pleasure speaking with you.

Speaker 16 (01:53:06):
Good morning, Brian, And it is great to wake up
and hear my friend Jack Atherton.

Speaker 2 (01:53:10):
Isn't he brilliant?

Speaker 4 (01:53:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (01:53:13):
And Donovan too. It was like a double play. No,
Jack is always really great, too, great to hear and
gives you something to think about. I think I'm gonna
need an extra cup of coffee for that.

Speaker 3 (01:53:22):
I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:53:23):
He just it's food for thought and things you can
contemplate for a long time, and I just always look
forward to it. It's funny you bring him up, because
every time he comes on, I get quite a few
emails saying, God, this this guy is so great. I
love having him. I love you having him on every week.
So props to Jack addit. And I know he puts
a lot of thought and effort into his commentary on
the morning show. And real quick, before we get to

(01:53:45):
your Empower You Seminar, which is taking place tomorrow, Night seven,
PM live or in person in the empower You studio
is now at Scarlet Oaks three hundred Great Oaks Drive,
or you can log in from the comfort of your
own home. Just make sure your register go to empower
You America because he's going to be doing a seminar
on the War of eighteen twelve, how close the nation

(01:54:05):
came to falling apart. But real quick, before you get
to that. I know you're a champion, yet you've been
involved in so many issues political you give back a
lot of years champion of education choice, and I wanted
to direct your attention to an op ed piece that
appeared in the Wall Street Journal this morning, Ohio's school
choice success story. They did some number crunching over the

(01:54:26):
years since Ohio's educational choice scholarship program kicked in in
two thousand and five, and it has had wonderful results.
Most notably, they said groups that benefited the most were blacks, boys,
students who experienced long term childhood poverty, and students with
below medium test scores before leaving public school. So in
college enrollment applications went up, test scores went up, all

(01:54:48):
because of school choice. So I want to applaud your
efforts in the past on that and just bring that
to your attention if you want to do to read
it and see that actually we've made some great inroads
in the educ cation area of the state.

Speaker 16 (01:55:02):
Well, you know, Brian, things in Ohio sometimes they move
a little slower than I like them to move. But
there's been so many grassroots people in Ohio that have
fought for school choice and to see it working out
is really I mean, I think of people like Dan Peters,
and I think of groups in Columbus that have all

(01:55:23):
come to empower you and talked about it things, and
it's just so great to see it taking off.

Speaker 4 (01:55:28):
Now.

Speaker 16 (01:55:29):
I know the other side is complaining now that the
cost is too high and we can't afford it, and
we just have to keep the upward progress going to
just keep on improving education in Ohio. So I can't
wait to read the article.

Speaker 2 (01:55:43):
Yeah, I mean, we can't afford it. If you're going
to put money towards something and you get great results
and you get better educated children who might very well
set up shop in Ohio and build successful businesses, isn't
that better for us in the long run? And throwing
money in a lot of other stupid things. That was
a rhetorical question there.

Speaker 16 (01:56:00):
And I think it's called our own money, isn't it, Brian,
Yes it is, Yes, it is all right.

Speaker 2 (01:56:07):
Now, I will admit my ignorance. I know about the
War of eighteen twelve, but I don't really know much
about how it got started. And I've always heard it
had wildly it could have had profound implications for the
future of our country. But you know, just looking at
your fact sheet that gives you a little insight into
the seminar itself, which my listeners can find at Empoweroamerica

(01:56:29):
dot org. Man I had no idea it was a
byproduct of the Napoleonic Wars.

Speaker 16 (01:56:36):
Yeah, well, you know that's the reason I'm doing the class, Brian.
I didn't know anything about it, and it's such an interesting,
interesting story of how close the nation actually came to
falling apart. We had the Federalists, the people that wrote
the constitution, people like Washington, Adams, Hamilton, John Jay, and
they were in mostly the New England States, and the

(01:57:00):
position was the Republican Party, which was later to become
the Democratic Party. I know, that's kind of confusing. And
they had people like Thomas Jefferson, who our third president,
who broke away, and then James Madison, which really this
war all revolves around. It was called by many mister
Madison's War, and people like John Calhoun and Henry Clay,

(01:57:21):
And what really happened was this is all about britt
Great Britain. Forgetting that we won the Revolutionary War and
that we were a sovereign nation. They started doing things
to us in the seas to really really interfere with
interfere with the state. The biggest thing they did was
called an impressment, where they would board our boats and

(01:57:44):
they would try to look for deserted British soldiers and
they would actually take our people and make them and
put them on their boats and make them work for them.
There were ten about ten thousand US American citizens that
that ended up on British boats, and then they started
that they came out. Britain was always at war with France,

(01:58:06):
and we were kind of friendly with France. Remember this
goes back into my history days. In eighteen o three,
we got the Louisiana Purchase from the French, which was
a huge squat of land west of Indiana eight hundred thousand,
nin square miles, but Britain hated France and was in
war with them, and Britain came out and said, anybody,

(01:58:28):
We're going to put rules nobody can trade with France,
and that kind of series of events led us to
eventually declare war. And Madison really had had two goals.
He wanted to expand the physical territory to gain more
open markets, and he wanted to expand our trading opportunities.

(01:58:51):
In the first place. The war was really fought on
three fronts Canada. So maybe Trump might want to revisit
this because this was the first time we invaded Canada
or wanted to take it over, and it was just
a miserable failure. We tried three times to invade Canada.
We had bad generals, they hadn't ever had to travel

(01:59:12):
to fight, which was new to them, and we just
we It was just just just a complete failure. And
one of the interesting things about this Old War was
our involvement with the Native Americans. There was a Battle
of Tippecanoe in eighteen eleven that Tecomso was involved in,

(01:59:33):
and Tecumso was really and his tribes, the Indian tribes
were really irated the Americans because we kept taking over
their territory like Indiana, Illinois, Ohio. And he was enraged
also we had killed his father and because of that,
Tecumpsa decided to bring all the Indians in with Britain

(01:59:53):
to fight against us.

Speaker 2 (01:59:56):
Wow, it was you know. It's one thing I learned
from Peter Bough with his book is that the British
would work with the Indians to attack the American settlers
and kidnap them and otherwise, you know, or otherwise just
kill them, sort of like a bounty system.

Speaker 16 (02:00:13):
Yeah, and and and and and the Indians they had
no they had no arms, they had no way to
get arms, so they got all their arms from Britain.
But but they really, uh, they were savage, as you
know you've probably heard. And they they they they really
when they would win a battle, they would they would
just do terrible things like put our fut bodies on steaks,

(02:00:33):
and when our soldiers would come in and find them,
it would just infuriate them. And really it had repercussions
way after the War of eighteen twelve, where a lot
of our generals who fought in this war just just
didn't really despise the native Native American Indians. But you know,
there were several kind of heroes that came out of

(02:00:53):
the war and names I know but didn't know very well.
First was William Henry Harrison, our ninth president. He went
down to he was very successful in in in fighting
at the Battle of Tippecanoe when to come see got involved,
and several other battles. Andrew Jackson, our seventh president, went

(02:01:15):
down to the south of the United States, which was
another front where he fought the Red Sticks in what
was known as the Creek War. And and really the
star of this whole of the the whole battle was
was a surprise.

Speaker 3 (02:01:31):
It was our navy.

Speaker 16 (02:01:34):
Here we were, this young country.

Speaker 4 (02:01:35):
Could we build ships?

Speaker 16 (02:01:36):
And we really we we We would just take little
merchant ships, fit them with small guns, and we were
able to run circles around the British out in the
Atlantic Ocean. Because the British they were fighting France, they
couldn't maintain their boats. Their boats were all broken down,
and we had several huge winds on the seas.

Speaker 4 (02:01:55):
But this whole war, this whole time, the Federalists.

Speaker 16 (02:01:58):
And the Republicans were fighting about it, and and a
lot of states who were federal estates. They wouldn't send
soldiers to fight outside their states. So these we'd have
these hundreds of little battles that would come up with
no soldiers and some would We would take stab terrible
losses on and it was just one of the reasons

(02:02:19):
that it's been really called one of the most unpopular
wars of our time.

Speaker 2 (02:02:22):
So were we still fighting like as in the Revolutionary
were like with militias. I mean, we have really an
organized American military like Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.

Speaker 16 (02:02:34):
Did we No, we'd have to go to the little
we'd have to the states would the states kind of
in some ways ruled the federal government. If there was
a war, we'd have to go to the governor of
that state and say, will you send us some troops?
And the governor, if he was a federalist, might say no.
And there there were national efforts to come up. They
called it a conscription plan, which was kind of a

(02:02:57):
way that the states would each have to send so
many soldiers to war, but we were never able. The
goal was to have fifty thousand soldiers. Remember we only
had The nation only had five point three million people
at the time, and the largest employer da Da Da
Dada was the US post office. The Brian the executive
branch of the government, only had one hundred and three people. Wow,

(02:03:22):
it's that kind of music to music to your ears.

Speaker 2 (02:03:24):
Really, and we managed to survive fight off of war
and bill ourselves as a nation with such a small
concentrated government. Amazing And we didn't we.

Speaker 16 (02:03:33):
Didn't even need Elon Musk to do it.

Speaker 2 (02:03:35):
We did. But you would have been able to find
anything to cut back then there was.

Speaker 16 (02:03:42):
There wasn't much. That's yeah, small government, what can we
say about that. But anyway, so this this whole battle
between these two parties came on and and and really
in eighteen fourteen, the Federalists tried to try to create
a move to succeed from the nation and they were
viewed as such extremists at that point in time. By

(02:04:04):
eighteen sixteen, the Federalists had fallen apart, and really it
just became the Republican Party and soon to be called
the Democratic Party, and later on a party called the
Whigs would be formed. But the war was just just
hundreds of battles between between you know, groups of five
hundred or a thousand soldiers and they would just they

(02:04:27):
would just fight until they were you know, until they
had run out. But thanks to a couple of great
leaders like William Henry Harris and Andrew Jackson our Navy,
we were able to we were able at least not
to lose. Because the thing about this whole war is
what would have happened if we lost Brian well Sounds.

Speaker 2 (02:04:45):
We would have come back under British control.

Speaker 16 (02:04:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's kind of why I
think it's a good lesson to learn, and that's why
I'm excited to teach about it tomorrow night at the
empower You session.

Speaker 2 (02:04:58):
Well, in something that i've today, again, I knew very
little about it. This This wasn't a war like that
I think of like that, you know, the Western Front
when you think about World War One, or there wasn't
like a line over which people were fighting. This seemed
to be This seems to be like something that was
pretty much going on literally anywhere.

Speaker 4 (02:05:17):
It was.

Speaker 16 (02:05:18):
It was really all around what were the United States
at that point in time. And remember at that point
in time, Florida was was was Spanish owned, and you know,
the Spanish people were fighting this kind of up north
when we had this Creek Uh Creek war with the
with the with the Native Native Americans and uh and yeah, yeah,

(02:05:40):
there's a great story where to come that the Creek
Indians like liked American life. They didn't want to become
a part of this this war. But to come Set
traveled down to the south to meet with the Creek
Indians and and and he met with fifty thousand Indians
at the time and convinced them, they're taking away all
our land. You can't accept this. You've got to come
and and help the Indian tribes.

Speaker 1 (02:06:01):
And they did.

Speaker 16 (02:06:02):
And it was just a terribly messy war with the
Native Americans.

Speaker 2 (02:06:08):
And something.

Speaker 16 (02:06:08):
You know, I've heard about Native Americans and the Indians
of my whole life, but I never really understood how
they fit into history. But right, but I do now.
And and you know, there were all these little forts
all around. I'm from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and you know,
and and and I had I've heard about all these
little forts, but they were so important because in the

(02:06:29):
case the Native Americans, since they didn't have the weaponry,
they couldn't they couldn't break.

Speaker 4 (02:06:34):
The barriers of the forts.

Speaker 16 (02:06:37):
And they were just it was just so helpful.

Speaker 1 (02:06:40):
In our efforts.

Speaker 2 (02:06:42):
Wow, well, I certainly learned a lot in our brief
period of time this morning and of course tomorrow evening
Benning at seven pm. You two can log in or
show up at the three hundred Great Oaks Drive and
Power You Studio a Scarlet Oaks and here Dan live
in in person. Empower You America dot org is the
place to register whether you're going to show up in
or want to log in from home. Dan, I know

(02:07:02):
it's going to be a fascinating discussion. I know you
do always do a really great job studying up on
it and getting all the information out. So I appreciate
your efforts in that regard, and thanks for providing me
with a lot more. I think I know more about
the War of eighteen twelve now after this discussion that
I could have put together on my own before it.
That's for sure. Dan, appreciate it, man, I really do.

Speaker 16 (02:07:23):
Hey, we'd love to have anybody out there join us
tomorrow night. You can watch it from your house and
watch some of our other classes. Last night, Brian, last
night we had Francis Martell talk about China. It was
one of the most fascinating allis.

Speaker 1 (02:07:38):
She's great, She just blew.

Speaker 16 (02:07:40):
She blew me away and people can go and empower
you America dot org and watch her class and yeah,
it's just we're so appreciative to you and executive producer
Joe for helping get the word about empower you out.
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (02:07:54):
Oh, it's important what you're doing and fascinating and such
a wide variety of the variety of topics. Do a
great job and selecting the subject matter and lining up
terrific speakers. So anything we can do here in the
morning show, happy to do it. Dan Raganeld, God bless
you sir, have a great week and enjoy doing the
seminar to our night you too, Thanks Fin, Thanks brother

(02:08:14):
eight twenty one right now at your five kcy detox station.
Jason Williams from the enquire County and Bengals Stadium funding.
He'll join us at the bottom of the hour. Get
ready to gird your loins. We are going to be
on the hook, just scratching the surface on how much
at this point in time. First though, USA's premium foam
to save you money. It's all about saving money and
improving the comfort of your own home. And you'll the

(02:08:36):
only regret you're ever going to have when you get
USA's foam injected into the xchier walls of your house.
Is that darn it? Why didn't I do this sooner?
I've had lots of listeners tell me that over the years.
So have your home inspected for free and get a
free quote inspection. If you know your house has no
insulation in the exterior walls, then you know it should
be a pretty quick inspection. If your house is built
before the mid seventies and it doesn't have anything in there,

(02:08:58):
and it probably won't fill it with foam, foam made
here in Ohio, no supply chain issues with that. Your
house may be under insulated. It was built after the
mid seventies, maybe have an R twelve and there that
deteriorates over the time and lose some of its insulative
capacity your ability. So add the foam to the old
and improve dramatically the comfort and energy efficiency of your home.

(02:09:19):
You'll notice it when you get your energy bill for sure,
because you're going to save some really sizeable amounts of
money and probably enough to cover the cost, which is
only ninety nine dollars a month interest free. That sale
is still going on, so for ninety nine bucks a
month interest free. You probably save as much as that,
you'll end up paying for it, and you continue to
enjoy the comfort and savings. So it's a great product.

(02:09:41):
Three eight one three six two six three eight one
FOAM twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit coming your way
next year when you're doing your taxes, when you do
what you should do anyway, and that's save money and
improve your comfort. Learn more online. Check out the website
usainsallation dot net.

Speaker 6 (02:09:55):
This is fifty five krc an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 2 (02:09:59):
For more, it's a thirty I had fifty five KRCD
talk station. Kind of expected Jason Williams from The enquire
to talk about the County Bengals name stadium funding. Joe
has not been able to reach him at this point,
so I just appreciate the frustrated look on Joe's face
when that happened, since we had him lined up. Is

(02:10:19):
he there now?

Speaker 10 (02:10:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:10:22):
I had a glimmer of hope there when the screen
went red. Anyhow, I do have local stories to dive
on into. Before we hear from Marine Gardner. She's going
to talk about the twenty twenty five Harvey Chayette Spring Forum,
which is designed the benefit the Parkinston's Support and Wellness Group,
which is a wonderful group. Bob Letter, who's a friend

(02:10:43):
of the show and the guy responsible for the Christmas
tree ornament thing every Christmas time, is behind the relationship
with the Parkinson's Group and the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
So anyway, excuse me, we can get the local stories.
Don't have thread the entire article a little, but suffice
it to say, us Representative Greg Landsman and his wife

(02:11:03):
Sarah had to dump hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of their corporate stocks, including shares and defense contractors in
a tobacco company. To our own conclusions on that, that's
corny new Federal Oh is he there now? Oh, Jason Williams,
since I acquire welcome back to the fifty five caresone
Morning Show. A little worried about you there for a moment.

Speaker 3 (02:11:22):
Hey, Hey, Brian, how you doing.

Speaker 2 (02:11:24):
I'm doing fine. If I didn't live in Hamilton County,
I'd feel a little bit better because I guess some
of my tax dollars are going to be going to
pay course stadium, probably not the full don't know the
full amount yet. But phase one suggests that I guess
the county. County's going to be on the hook for
sixty four and a half million dollars of this phase
one of the upgrades, and that's a total of one

(02:11:45):
hundred and eighty five million dollars to improve pay Course Stadium.
But the full four phases of it, I guess you
got to get to phase four before you reach profit.
I don't know, eight hundred and thirty million total dollars.
I'm sorry, I'm not a fan attack spare dollars funding
private sports owners playfields. So we'll start with that. What's

(02:12:07):
your reaction where this is.

Speaker 5 (02:12:08):
Yeah, much the same reaction that you had, Brian, were
very very much think alike on this, and I'm sure
I feel like probably a lot of fifty five KRC
listeners are shaking their head right now just to you know,
it's just the the money. Spiggott just continues to stay

(02:12:29):
on for the Bengals.

Speaker 3 (02:12:30):
And I'm still trying to process this thing. Yesterday and
it almost feels like a forced pr thing because it
was an agreement and the announcement of an agreement of
an agreement. Yeah, it's like they announced that they have

(02:12:53):
an agreement about an upcoming agreement, and I'm like, to me,
that just came off like they are trying to generate
some good, positive pr here. And the fact that the
it came out to where in this phase again, you know,
like you said, Brian, it's just it's phase one, and

(02:13:13):
I didn't know they were going to do this whole thing.

Speaker 5 (02:13:15):
In phases or whatever.

Speaker 3 (02:13:17):
But the fact that it right now the numbers come
out that the Bengal side are going to put one
hundred and twenty million in and that the County side
is going to do sixty four, it very much comes
off like a pr thing like, well, wow, the Bengals
are going to put more in than the County's going
to put in. Yeah, double basically what they're going to

(02:13:39):
put in.

Speaker 1 (02:13:39):
And so that's my read on it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:13:42):
Yeah, let's say, look when you get out, when this
thing all said and done and it gets out eight
hundred and thirty million dollars, let's let's see how that.

Speaker 1 (02:13:50):
That's what we need to know.

Speaker 10 (02:13:52):
Phase two we need that.

Speaker 2 (02:13:54):
Yeah, there's no way whatever. Phase two, three and four
have hinted that the math is going to work out
with the Bengals covering the lion's share of it in
those next three phases. If I was a betting man,
I put it all on that outcome. But you know,
the funnier part about this, the Bengals are borrowing half
of one hundred and twenty million that they're throwing in
from the NFL.

Speaker 3 (02:14:17):
Well, that's exactly right. And you know, again that's also
another thing that's kind of being.

Speaker 5 (02:14:23):
You know, it looks a.

Speaker 3 (02:14:24):
Little it's a little behind the scenes sort of thing
that a lot of times when the Bengals are putting
their own money in, it's there's always it's always kind
of coming from somewhere else. I mean, they did some
kind of upgrade to like the club level, I don't know,
a couple.

Speaker 2 (02:14:42):
Of years ago.

Speaker 10 (02:14:43):
It's been in a recent memory.

Speaker 2 (02:14:45):
And you know, they made a big splash.

Speaker 3 (02:14:47):
We we find out, you know, a lot of that
money was coming from the concessionaire. Now, look, however the
money's coming from is all just not coming out of
my pocket or your pocket as Hamilton County taxpayers, okay, whatever,
like private sector that I've always said, like, you know,
even when I write about it now, it's like I
think the Bengals slash NFL slash private sector side of things,

(02:15:10):
you know, need to see to come through with, you know,
what they need.

Speaker 10 (02:15:15):
To come through with.

Speaker 3 (02:15:15):
And uh and so that that what whatever, whatever that is,
and wherever it's coming from, if it's not coming from.

Speaker 10 (02:15:26):
The taxpayers.

Speaker 3 (02:15:27):
And and when I say taxpayers, I mean not just
Hamilton County taxpayers but state taxpayers. Now, all of a sudden,
we you know, and it's a whole other, you know,
a whole other rabbit hole of this story, Brian, is
that all of a sudden, there's this big, you know
push that you know, state government needs to be footing
the bill.

Speaker 1 (02:15:48):
And a big old chunk of money for these things.

Speaker 3 (02:15:50):
And it's like where where is all where where's all
this coming from? You know, it's interesting to see all
these trends, and it's like, all of a sudden, now
that there's all big onus being put on the state, Well, why.

Speaker 2 (02:16:04):
Amen, six hundred million dollars coming from the state for
the Cleveland Browns New mega complex. I mean it's a
multi billion dollar thing that they're going to be building.
And that really really frankly I used the words pisses
me off because it does. But that now we're turning
to Columbus to get money for this monstrosity are these upgrades?

(02:16:24):
They've already hit Hamilton County taxpayers up for it, and
they are in this particular phase.

Speaker 9 (02:16:29):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:16:29):
And I you know, I am not always been much
of a fan of Commissioner re Lisa Reese, but unlike
the other two commissioners, she at least pointed out that
the Bengals in the NFL should probably be footing the
bill for the whole package. I love their quote that
was reported they the Bengals got enough money. Forbes magazine
said that, referring to the recent news that Bengals under
Mike Brown is among the nation's billionaires.

Speaker 3 (02:16:53):
Yeah, the bengalsabam, I wrote my column last week. I mean,
the Bengals have money.

Speaker 1 (02:17:00):
And here's the thing. And again, it doesn't get.

Speaker 3 (02:17:01):
It wasn't very heavily reported. It doesn't get you know,
I mean, it's just one of those kind of you know,
things that get voted on at NFL meetings and you know,
among many different things. But last year the NFL owners
voted that NFL teams are allowed to bring in like
up to ten percent and private equity. So you know,

(02:17:22):
that's just basically like, hey, you need more money, you know,
you you need more money to help you know, do
your business for stadium or for you know, however you
run your football team. Well, you can now bring in
a limited partner, a limited or home e limited, a
private equity firm of up to ten percent of the

(02:17:46):
of the owners of You could own up to ten
percent of the team. Well, guess what team voted against that?
One team? One team voted against that. I have no
idea why, because it's I don't understand.

Speaker 10 (02:18:01):
I don't know what the downside of that is.

Speaker 1 (02:18:05):
I don't either let me let me post it.

Speaker 10 (02:18:07):
Could do that.

Speaker 3 (02:18:08):
They could, They can have the ability even though they
vote against it. It was voted and you know it
was voted in, and so they could go out right
now and get uh, you know, millions and millions of
dollars in private equity.

Speaker 4 (02:18:21):
Money to help them.

Speaker 3 (02:18:23):
And but you know that would require them, you know,
giving up you know a little bit of a you
know an you know or be a you know, a
minority stake owner and the team.

Speaker 2 (02:18:35):
Yeah, well, maybe they're afraid that Hamilton County would be
that ten percent and that the county would then control
part of the ownership and prevent it from ever leaving
the city and take away that threat from the future.
But moving away from that concept, Jason Williams, I can
just ask a basic, simple question, do we.

Speaker 1 (02:18:52):
Really need all these upgrades?

Speaker 2 (02:18:54):
I mean, can you can you not play football on
a blank in high school football field and actually get
the game played? I mean, the size of the fields
the same, the rules are the same. What's with all
this glorified upgrades and all these amenities and bells and whistles,
most notably in the boxes that people like you or
maybe you get to go there. I don't go. I'm

(02:19:15):
not invited to the boxes. I don't get any kind
of special treatment. The vast majority of the the residents
of the state of Ohio and the people live in
the county are never going to see those boxes, right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (02:19:27):
Mean the answer the answer to that is I mean no,
I mean that d do you really absolutely have to
have that and certainly pay for that with taxpayer money?

Speaker 4 (02:19:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:19:38):
I mean the infrastructury things, that's you know what going on?

Speaker 2 (02:19:42):
Uh well, heading on.

Speaker 3 (02:19:43):
Thirty years now, right, I guess opening the twenty five year,
twenty five year old building, it certainly is gonna you know,
need need some of the one of the guts of
the building.

Speaker 2 (02:19:54):
Upgraded, and all that maintenance and upkeep, maintenance and upkeep.
There's no way maintenance enough. It comes up to thirty
million dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:20:04):
And that to me, see, I mean that stadium fund
has been there.

Speaker 4 (02:20:09):
All of that.

Speaker 3 (02:20:10):
Again, the stadium fund, that the sales tax that we
pay on our groceries and on everything we buy in
Hamilton County. Uh, you know, half a cent of that
goes right into that stadium fund. And that stadium fund
is for ongoing maintenance and upkeep. And so what's been
going on? And that's something that probably some intrepid reporter

(02:20:31):
can dig into it, like, well, you know, why why
is it like some of the stuff, you know, why
isn't that continuing on? And I know some of it is,
but it's like all right, So then why then is
this bill so big? If that money is that that
tens of millions of dollars is coming in every year
to help pay awfully pay off the original debt, but

(02:20:54):
then still go towards maintenance and upkeep, you then turn
around and think, way, inn thirty million dollars, Well, that's
more than double what the whole thing costs to build
back in you know, the late.

Speaker 2 (02:21:06):
Nineties exactly, and it still functions and you can still
play a game there. And there's no I'm not keep
up with the Joneses attitude, I'm sorry is lost on me.
You know, it's just well I agree with that, you.

Speaker 10 (02:21:20):
Know, and this whole notion that.

Speaker 3 (02:21:23):
I mean, you go around the NFL and you go
around ballparks and stadiums and all that, and it's just
like there's just this you're right, there's this keeping up
with the Joneses thing, and it just seems that it
seems to gall a little more here are a lot
more here because of that original lease agreement. Yeah, and

(02:21:45):
you know we're feeling it right now. You're seeing it.
You're seeing some of those old wounds come back up.
And I mean, yeah, there's been a lot of you
know a lot of letters to the editor of the Inquirer,
and I know a lot of callers to iHeart radio stations,
and you know, there's a lot there's some old hard
feelings coming up now and the Bibles we're trying to
avoid that. And so that's why I go look at

(02:22:06):
this thing they got announced yesterday. It's like it comes
out like, Wow, the Bengals are gonna pay more.

Speaker 1 (02:22:13):
Yeah, you hit the nail on the head on probably ever.

Speaker 3 (02:22:17):
Yeah, for the first time, probably ever in this whole process,
there's been a news story where it looks like the
Bengals are going to pay more than the county.

Speaker 2 (02:22:26):
So wish we had more time. Jason. We'll have you
back on and discuss this as phases two, three, and
four get rolled out. But I'm glad to see you're
on the same side of the ledger as most going on.
Most of my lesseners in me. God bless you. Jason

A friend of the show, Bob Letter and the Wish

(02:22:47):
Tree Guy. Also a big support of the Parkinson Supporting
Wellness Group and I participated in quite a few events
with them over the years. And welcome to the fifty
five KRC Morning Show. Speaking of the Parkinson Support and
Wellness Center, it's a pleasure to welcome Gartner to talk
about the twenty twenty five Harvey Shayatt Spring Forum. Maauurene,
pleasure to have you on the program today.

Speaker 7 (02:23:07):
Yeah, thanks so much, Brian, Good morning, I really appreciate
the opportunity to talk about that.

Speaker 2 (02:23:13):
Well, since this is the twenty five Harvey Shayatt Spring Forum,
this has been going on for some time I suppose.

Speaker 7 (02:23:21):
Oh, at least twenty to twenty five years, yes, and
not where Harvey Shayat sponsored it, but that we've been
doing a.

Speaker 2 (02:23:28):
Spring forum, right, And I note from the notes remembering
Harvey Shayatt who was Harvey Shayet.

Speaker 7 (02:23:37):
So he was a good man who had Parkinson's disease
for many years, and he struggled at times, but he
was just a great example of courage and persistence in
the disease.

Speaker 2 (02:23:51):
Okay, which is why you're honoring him with his name
on the Spring Forum. I understand that. So tell give
my listeners the details about this who's invited, where, the when,
the whys, and the warfores, and actually who's going to
be speaking, because it looks like you have quite a
few presenters.

Speaker 7 (02:24:04):
Yes, So it happens this Saturday. The doors open at
eight from nine to three. The program is It's at
the Manor House, which is on seventy four point forty
Mason Montgomery Road. The title of our talk of our
day is living Well with advanced Parkinson's disease. So doctor
Andrew Duker, who's a professor of neurology at the Gardner

(02:24:26):
Neuroscience Institute, is going to discuss the medical aspects of this.
Doctor Lalantika Jogendram, who is also an assistant Professor of
Neurology at U SEE, she's going to talk about what
PAILIOATIP care can do for our patients and help with
non motor symptom management. And then we have a doctor

(02:24:48):
who's a professor Emeritive Gerontology and retired Senior Research Scholar
from Miami University, and her name is Catherine McGrew, and
she's going to kind of navigate how to think and
talk about advanced planning and you know, how do we
how do we address that and when do we address that?

Speaker 10 (02:25:10):
And what do you do.

Speaker 7 (02:25:13):
In terms of the advancing disease and how to make
things happen. We also have a couple of people who
are going to talk about brain donation and also a
person who's going to talk about case management and resources
out there to help the family negotiate this advancing disease.

Speaker 2 (02:25:31):
Well, you mentioned brain donation and actually I think in
my life the first time I ever heard about donating
a brain. I think about, you know, kidney donations and
liver donations when someone passes. I of course have organ
donor status on my driver's license, and I want someone
to get the benefit of what's in me that's still
good when I pass. Is the brain donation done for

(02:25:53):
research into Parkinson's?

Speaker 7 (02:25:56):
Yes, so it really helps us identify what's going on
in the brains of people. As you may or may
not know, Parkinson's is different for everybody. So perhaps we
can find something in someone's donated brain.

Speaker 16 (02:26:11):
That will help further.

Speaker 7 (02:26:14):
Research and obviously the future of a cure.

Speaker 2 (02:26:19):
Now, is this a genetic kind of thing? Is it
just randomly hit people without any connection to cancer? You
can say, well, you smoked your whole life, ergo, you
got lung cancer. We can trace that directly. Is there
anything that we do, how we live our lives, or
things that we're exposed to that can result in getting
Parkinson's disease?

Speaker 7 (02:26:40):
So there are some risk factors that we know of
familial people with Parkinson's. You said, is this genetic? There
are some genes that have been identified that caused Parkinson's disease,
but they are not the cause of all Parkinson's disease. Unfortunately,
our research isn't as progressed as cancer. Is that we

(02:27:02):
can identify one cell that causes, you know, a type
of Parkinson's disease.

Speaker 4 (02:27:08):
We're just not there yet.

Speaker 2 (02:27:11):
Okay, Well, one thing I did learn through my experience
with the Parkinson's Support and Wellness Group, which I'll refer
my listeners to the website. It's Parkinson's Cincinnati dot org
dot org Parkinson's Cincinnati No s right, yes, I'm looking
at the website. I was struggling with that parkinson Cincinnati

(02:27:34):
dot org. Exercise is really important, and one of the
great things about your organization is that it's a network
of people that have either are struggling with Parkinson's themselves
or have family members that do. So it's an opportunity
for folks to get together and have shared experience, but
also encourage each other to engage in exercise and other
activities together.

Speaker 7 (02:27:55):
Absolutely, exercise is just as important as medication is and
the management of this disease. So we sponsor different exercise
trainers so that they can keep the costs down for participants.

Speaker 2 (02:28:11):
Well, I'll encourage my listeners who are interested to get
over to the website Parkinson Cincinnati dot org and show
up at the big the Manor House again. It's this Saturday, correct.
Doors open at eight thirty, the presentation begins at nine
with the welcome and it wraps up at two pm.
So lots of information from some experts in the area
of Parkinson and an opportunity to network with other folks

(02:28:32):
who are dealing and struggling with it. So good way
to get your foot in the door. If you weren't
aware of this organization and you're looking for some support, well, Maureene,
keep up the great work. I was pleasure to have
you on the program to spread the word about this
wonderful organization and hopefully you have a really great turnout
for the twenty twenty five Harvey shayatte Spring Forum.

Speaker 7 (02:28:51):
Thanks so much, Brian, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (02:28:53):
