55KRC Wednesday Show - Dave Williams, Sharon Coolidge, Mike Hisle, Judge Napolitano

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Segment every Wednesday at eight thirty Judge Edit of Paul
Town to talk about that, among other things, preceeded by
Mike Kyise. We'll got some funny games going on at
eight o five with the Canteen Beer Garden monthly keg
Tapping get the details on that at eight oh five
something fun to talk about. Sharon Coolidge precedes my kis
Well Shemount at seven to forty from the Enquirer. City

(00:20):
wants Mercy Health to pay back seven million dollars for
a building and never used. And we'll also discuss the
railway money with a proposal to take six hundred million
dollars out of the railway money Trust Fund and put
it in a separate property tax relief fund.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
We talked about that last week and.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Kind of puzzling, but you know, I just, ah, the
craziness goes out of downtown Cincinnati and never ceases to
amaze me. So I'm just I'm not sure where I
am on that one. I really am not. I think
it's kind of funny in many ways, because of course
I have to approval at all. Really have designed on

(01:00):
the one point six billion dollars or at least the
revenue that's going to generate, and the idea that someone's
going to come in and immediately take six hundred million
dollars out of that fund and put in any different
fund for the benefit of all city residents. And this
is where they have leverage, I believe in trying to
get this bout an issue of going forward. If you
live in the city of Cincinnati and you own a building,
you are paying real estate taxes, guess what they're going

(01:22):
to give you some love out of that fund. So
you know, most people, it's, as I joke all the time,
the fool is the one who's not looking out for
his or her own best interest. This is this is
something like the left does all the time. Right, Hey,
we've got money and we love to give it to people,
so we get votes. This sort of circumvents the political

(01:46):
process of having like council members represent you and pass
legislation you know that you would like them to pass.
This just sort of get puts it directly in the
hands of the voters. A true democratic process on this one,
So folks are going to be able to vote money
right into their own pocket. And considering how high the

(02:07):
property taxes have gone, and how quickly they went up
a lot of people reeling from that, which was the
pert point behind that six hundred million dollar fund.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
They have to get enough signatures first, and I know
they're circulating petitions right now. It may very well be
on the ballot. I'm very anxious to see what Sharon
has to say about that. And Dave Voice from the
Taxpayer Protection Alliance. He'll be on the seven o'clock hour
beginning at seven oh five Economic Uncertainty as tax cuts expire. Joe,

(02:40):
where did this one come from? Subject matter number two
fecal transplants day, Dave will explain. I'm sure it's on
their website. I mean, I don't think you'd randomly just
come up with the subject matter fecal matter transplants are
fecal transplants and had me talk about it with Dave
unless Dave was prepared to talk about that r Overreach

(03:00):
Prevention Act. There's our topic and subject matters today with
Dave Williams and the Taxpayer for Protection Alliance. And I
always love hearing from you, so feel free to call
five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight
hundred and eighty two three talk. Another reminder, fifty five
cares you how come gets you right heart media apps
so you can listen wherever you happen to go and
check out the podcast. Jason Williams from The enquire I'm sorry.

(03:22):
It was just a funny conversation about the Bengals and
the idea of moving to the suburbs, like other teams
have threatened in other areas, the point being it would
cost two billion dollars for the stadium, two billion dollars.
And I don't think he's not serious there. I don't
know that there's any legitimate suggestion this is going to happen.
And we talked about the idea if that war TI happened,

(03:43):
what would the fans think. I don't think and he
doesn't believe that anybody would really care. As long as
they're still in the area. There's still the Cincinnati Bengals.
And I pointed out to Jason, you can move to
northern Kentucky, like the Greater Cincinnati Airport. Yeah, it's in Kentucky.
They'd still be the Cincinnati Bengals. A rose by any
other name would still smell as sweet or nasty as

(04:05):
the case may be. Bring him account in studio for
a full hour, and others other topics right there, including
Joel Pollock from The Bright Bart from Breitbart dot com
with the Insight scoop. That's the podcast page from yesterday,
twenty four days until voting starts twenty four days September sixth,

(04:27):
Early voting starts for eligible voters, with seven battleground states
sending out ballots to at least some voters. That is
fast approaching. And I'm staring at that figure and the
reason I even just brought that up. Where's Kamala Harris been.
That's where we're in, like day twenty three or day
twenty four, no press conference, no details about what she's

(04:47):
running on, enjoying this wonderful honeymoon period brought to you
by the mainstream media, some of whom some of the
mainstream media get at least, thank god for social media
to get these reactions. For example, like Time magazine, they
went all full on, you know, just aw singing her
praise as she's a rock star, drawn all these parallels

(05:10):
between her and Taylor Swift or whatever, not talking to
Kamala Harris at all, just fawning.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Over the movement. Just amazing.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
No fact check for Kamala because there has been no
interview Time magazine although just giving her singing praises with
no foundation to sing the praises unless you go back
to when she actually had policy positions and points that
she was on the record for back in twenty nineteen
when she was trying to become president of the United

(05:45):
States of America. Completely unsuccessful that one. So twenty four
days to early voting starts, we've had three weeks now
with nothing from the Kamala Harris camp on what her
policy positions are. And this fun fact for my friends
out there that are skeptical and fear full of voting machines.
Politico reporting on this one not exactly a right leaning website.

(06:09):
And this doesn't necessarily involve politics. It just involves whether
or not the voting machines are safe. So they gathered
the best hackers in the world in Los Angeles over
the weekend. They do this every year. The point for
the best hackers being there is to try to break
into voting machines that are going to be used in November.

(06:30):
The point being identify you know, false weaknesses in the systems,
hacking you know points, and then trying to fix them.
The problem, well, the findings from this weekend meeting multiple
pages long, lots of different problems found with the voting
machines vulnerabilities. One might point out there's not enough time

(06:52):
between now November to fix them, so maybe these fixes
we implemented by the next election of the next election cycle.
But one of the main points of the political reporting
on this this is just just not there's insufficient time
to fix the problems in the votings machines before November.
Every August they go to this deaf Con conference to

(07:12):
find these security gaps in the voting equipment, and every
year a long and complex process of fixing them means
nothing is implemented until the next election cycle. And as
political points out, we have election integrity and security under
particular scrutiny for a variety of reasons. First off, we

(07:33):
know from our own security officials foreign adversaries are going
to be trying to figure out how to breed some machines.
Iran I think is already on record saying that they're
going to screw around with our elections, and they absolutely
hate Donald Trump, so to the extent you hate Donald

(07:54):
Trump as well, Congratulations your allies with the Iranians. Enemy
of my enemy is my friend. You have a friend
in the ir audience election security community, bemoaning the fact
that no system has been developed to roll out fixes faster,
and this has gone on year after year after year.
I think this is the tenth year they've done this conference,
and every year it's the same thing. Here as a

(08:15):
whole list of problems with the voting machines, Yet sadly
you won't do anything about it before the following election cycle.
Worry that the security gaps get identified this year will
provide fodder for those who may want to question the results.
And I guess this report gets sent out maybe there
in lives or problem and I don't know what the

(08:36):
status is on the security level of the report that
they put together at this Defcon conference. But if you
build a report and the report by all these hackers
identifies the weaknesses in the voting systems, and then you
publish the report, what's the likelihood that our foes and
those who might want to interfere with the election would
get a hold of that and use it as a
guideline to how to hack into the systems. As political reports,

(09:05):
voting Village hackers clustered around tables with all shapes and
sizes of voting machines and equipment to verify voters' identities
or tabulate ballots, trying to get past firewalls and other
security measures. Secretaries of state nearby another election officials gave
talks on misinformation and disinformation threads facing the upcoming election.
So on one side, you have practical research being done

(09:28):
by hackers. Can these systems be breached and our elected
talking heads or over there talking about misinformation and disinformation
which doesn't matter a wit in the world. If you
can affect the outcome of the vote by tinkering with
the election machine, you don't need misinformation or disinformation to
you at least to get an outcome that you're hoping for.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Doesn't.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Just like every year since Voting Village began almost a
decade ago, attendees found problems. Organized as the Voting Village
intend to put out a full report in the coming
weeks detail knowing these vulnerabilities. According to Voting Village co
founder Harry Hirsty, these vulnerabilities ran multiple pages as of
Saturday afternoon, and of course, come amid the ongoing foreign

(10:14):
and criminal targeting of the United States elections. Back in
twenty sixteen, Russian hackers, you may remember this, targeted Hillary
Clinton's campaign. They also compromised voter registration databases in multiple
United States cities and affected this election cycle already. As
Political First reported on Saturday, presidential campaign and former President
Donald Trump hacked a breach attributed to Iran. And you know, interestingly,

(10:39):
they didn't publish what was hacked. The hackers gave Politico
and other left leaning news outlets this information. I think
it was a breakdown of the weaknesses of the JD Vans,
the vice presidential choice. So they obviously do their own
op ed research. They look into the candidates, they vet them.
That vetting was put into a package of materials, and
the Russians hacked it and gave it to Political among others.

(11:03):
Although Political reported on getting it, they didn't publish it,
which was rather noble and honorable of them. We'll see
if that remains unreported down the road. Anyway, This Hirsty person,
the founder of this organization. If you don't think this
kind of place is running twenty four to seven in China,

(11:25):
you're kidding yourselves. We are here only for two and
a half days, and if we find stuff, it will
be stupid to assume that the adversaries don't have absolute
access to everything. Meaning the hacking operation that they ran
over the weekend at this deaf Con conference in order
to try to ferret out vulnerabilities in our voting machines

(11:46):
is something, as she points out, that the Russians and
I'm certain that the Iranians and the North Koreans and
the Chinese are.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Doing all the time.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
They're trying to find holes in every damn system out there,
whether it's your business through fishing or any other kind
of exploit, or our voting systems or anything else. This
is something that they do twenty four to seven. It's
a former warfare, and we are, you know, pretty much
at war on all types of fronts. I mean, think
about it, interference with the election. It's easy to do.

(12:19):
Hack into the systems, put out disinformation. Go ahead, well,
go ahead and stay on TikTok and give them all
the information about your personal traits and habits, along with
allowing them to try to convince you of their side
of the political ledger that's going on all the time, separately,
independently flooding the entire United States with fentanyl. That's easy
to do. That's waging war. And we could go on anyway,

(12:44):
So little disturbing information from the the pro hackers in
Las Vegas over the weekend five eighteen fifty five Ksity
Talk station, feel free to call five one three, seven,
four nine fifty five eight hundred two three talk. Oh, look,
twenty two three. That's a great gun store, great indoor
shooting range. And if you're you've never been to twenty
two three, and I think you should go because it's

(13:06):
a great indoor range and great gun store, one own

Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's swag month.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
August is National Shooting Sports Month, and shooting is a sport.
Obviously you can use a firearm for different reasons, but
if you want to get into the shooting sports, it's
August National Shooting Sports Month. So to get new people
in to shoot on the range, twenty two three is
offering swag all month long. So if your new show up,

(13:33):
fire off a few rounds on the range, and after
you use the range, you can choose a free giveaway
while supplies last. And if you've already been to twenty
two three. That's wonderful. I know you enjoyed it. Bring
a friend who is new there and you will both
get swag and your friend will shoot for free as
an extra shooter on your lane. There's not a friendly
or cleaner gun store an indoor range around. It's twenty

(13:55):
two to three. Fight them online at twenty two three
dot com. That's the number twenty two fellow by the
word three. Spell out twenty two three dot com on
Route forty two on Route forty two between Mason and Lebanon.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Fifty five KRC the talk station. When you're way through
our twenty five two on a we Wednesday, let's go
to the phones.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Fight two to three talking man. Then I got to see
at listener lunch last week, Mississippi James. Welcome back to
the fifty five KRCY Morning Show. It's always good to
hear from.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
You, all right, man. I enjoyed their lunch and last
Wednesday got to meet a few people and just fellowship there.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
That's that's the point. I'm glad you experienced that fellowship,
and I'm glad you got to meet some folks. And uh,
I heard your name mentioned a few times. Are you Mississippi.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
James.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
They picked you out of a crowd, so it was
nice to you're getting some celebrity status calling in the
morning show and showing up at lunch. James, what's on
your mind today, my friend?

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Hey, I guess when they hear this old bare tone voice,
you know, it drives home.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
The point, Yes, sir, But what was on my mind is.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
About the momentum swift switch in the election. You know, now,
we know the election is sad to say, but even
the president is a popularity contest, Yes, sir, right now,
right now, we're just looking at this momentum half shift

(15:18):
and it could shift back by what we got eighty
some days before the election. It could shift back the
other way. We don't know. We just have to see.
But what I want to know your opinion on Project
twenty twenty five. And I know Trump had tried to
distant itself from him, but it's a lot that ties

(15:41):
him to it, even through vance. So can you speak
on that?

Speaker 2 (15:46):
That's absolutely now.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
I will admit that I haven't read the nine hundred
page Project twenty twenty five report from the Heritage Foundation,
but remember what it is. Heritage Foundation is an independent,
conservative leaning think tank organization, and they essentially, as I
understand it, invited well whoever out there in the world
with conservative mindset, conservative wish list. Imagine if you would saying, hey,

(16:09):
if you had your wish what you want from government
or what you don't want from government, give me it,
and I'm gonna put it into a big giant package
and we're gonna call it twenty twenty five. So it
is literally a wish list of every conceivable conservative policy
point that you can possibly imagine, not all of which,
and I would say many of which have not been

(16:29):
adopted by the Trump campaign. And I would acknowledge and
conceie that you know, it is a wishless It's like
if you wake up and had all of your dreams
come true. From a conservative standpoint, this is what you
would get. But we know that is never gonna happen,
most notably in divided government. Now, if you want to
see what Trump's all about, just go to his website.
He's got his policy points. I think there are twenty

(16:50):
five of them. Some of those align with some of
the things in Project twenty twenty five. But as you noted,
James Trump has said, no, I'm not running on that
entire platform, that entire package. I know, that's ridiculous. You
got to pick and choose your battles. Some battles can
be won, and those battles, maybe including the twenty twenty
five platform, some of those battles will most assuredly be

(17:12):
lost because they're far too radically conservative for many Americans
and probably even some of the conservative or probably some
of the Republicans in Congress. So you know, it's just
it's one entity's grand and glorious wish list, and I
don't view it as anything more than that they tried
to wed Trump to because of some of those more

(17:32):
radically conservative policy points. But he has distanced himself from it.
And you know, I think that's where JD. Vance falls in.
And if I pressed him, I bet JD. Vans probably
has a read all nine hundred pages either. Anyway, that's
the best I can do on that one, James. But
I don't put much hope that most of that would
ever get pasted. And I know that Donald Trump is

(17:54):
not going to be running by embracing it. He's already
said that. Thanks brother, it's good to hear from Bobby.
Hang on and get your call next I see the
U are on hold. I want to mention Colin Electric though,
because I want you to have a good electric experience.

Fifty five KRC.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Five on three seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight
hundred and eight twenty three talk and jump over to
the run before I get to loverpool stories. You can
feel free to call like Bobby did. Bobby, thanks for
holding over the brake there, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
Good morning to you, my brother. What's on your concerns?
I've got some serious concerns today, my friend. I think
sleepy Joe Biden will withdraw the presidency before the election,
sometime possibly on or after the convention, and she will

(19:25):
be the first woman of color to be the president,
number forty seven. So my main concern is if that happens,
what in the world am I going to do with
all these Trump has number forty five and forty seven
on them.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, you know what, It's rather shallow victory, isn't it
if you are not elected to be the first black
woman president. Whatever the criteria are, that matters so much
to the left. I mean, I'm a content of character,
not color of skin, type of person myself. But if
you're just made than a by virtue of the acting
president being feeble and incapable of doing the job, then

(20:05):
it's kind of a hollow victory. Symbolic perhaps, but because
she was obviously named his vice presidential choice, but that
was again after a dismal dismal performance when she was
running for the role as President of the United States
of America, when she couldn't get a single Democrat to
even get on her side of the ledger. So whatever,
I mean, I don't know that's going to change the landscape.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Clearly.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Clearly, I think we can say with absolute safety that
Joe Biden's not really doing anything right now.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
I mean he is.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
I've got go ahead, I've got two boxes of hats.
I can't change change things out of my control, but
I'm going to tell you something. If she goes in
at number forty seven, what are we going to do
with all these hats and shirts? Send them to Guatemala?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Well maybe, I maybe good Will will take them. I mean,
there's always an opportunity to donate the hat, or you
can get your magic marker out and sort of alter it,
to put it and turn it into something that you
see fit. Can't help you on that one, Bobby. I
don't struggle with that dilemma because I don't wear hats.
I don't wear Maga hats, I don't wear baseball caps,

(21:13):
I don't wear regular I don't wear hats. I'm not
a hat guy, So that's not a dilemma that I'm
struggling with. Take care of my friend. Thousands of Today's
the day I cannot get over this. It's already the
start of since aint public schools geez. This year, all
seventh and eighth graders and not attending K through twelve
schools will ride a metro bus to class. Several changes

(21:33):
that we should know about the first day. Be aware
of your surroundings, they say Fox nineteen reporting on this one.
Keep valuables out of sight, and if you see something suspicious,
alert the bus operator. If you're on a metro bus,
Metro says students should never run for the bus the
operator is already pulling away. Don't chase the bus. Don't
pound on the doors. We soundlike yellow school buses. Motorists

(21:55):
do not have to stop for public transportation. There's a
little red flag. It's important for students to wait till
the buses pulled away before starting across the street. Students
who have cell phones will have to put them in
a special pouch during class time this year, and a
staff member will unlock that pouch at the end of
the school day. It's the Yonder pouch being used at

(22:17):
the cincin public schools this year, which I think is
a positive development. So uh oh. Norwood Lateral will reopen
the westbound direction later than initially playing According to the
How Department of Transportation. The westbound part of the lateral
closed in early June, scheduled to reopen in eighty days
at the end of August. Lateral now scheduled to reopen

(22:38):
during the week of September ninth, according to ODT specific day.
It cannot be confirmed yet. Cruise closed the lateral for
the second phase of the Norwood Lateral Bridge Rehabilitation and
Preservation project, which includes rehabilitating the mainline bridges over Paddock
Road Reading Road in Ross Avenue. The delay, they say
is due to his structural issues on the bridge over

(22:59):
Ross at accord to O DOT and their statement additional
work will have to be done that wasn't foreseen. That
happens sometimes so do to inclement. What do they say
if you get in, if you get one night of
bad weather, that's going to put you behind for a
couple of days, the spokesperson instead, so wait for it.

(23:19):
It'll get finished at some juncture. If I pot thirty five,
if if five care see the dog station stack. Oh
stupid coming up. If you care to listen to that,
I hope you can stick around. Alternatively, I'd love to
hear from you. And another call I can absolutely recommend
is getting in touch with my friends at Bud Herbert Motors.

push more many years ago, the commercial one, and I
paid a little extra for commercial, and I was thankful
that the Herbert said, Brian, this is the last lawnmower
you'll ever have to buy. That's how well it's built,
and it's designed to be used every day. I use
it maybe once a week. I'm just happy I went
down that road. John Deere inventory reduction sale, get a

(25:39):
they call our social media. You know how that goes.
Kendra Sunderland, Uh, according to the reporting here, whose solo
exploits in an Oregon State University library helped launch her
porn career, I now arrested on a felony drug charge
in Texas. Corre of the records, twenty nine year old
Sunderland lusted on Thursday while driving on I forty five

Montgomery County Sheriff's Office deputy corner of the redacted incident report,
sundal And arrested for possession of a controlled substance apparently marijuana.
Booked into the county jail, from which she was subsequently released.
Listed in police records as a Las Vegas resident, Sundered,

(26:25):
she apparently, in the words of the reporting shot to
fame in twenty fifteen after filming a thirty one minute
webcam performance inside the OSU Valley Library. The video, obviously
making its way to the Internet, showed her exposing her breasts,
her hoha, and pleasuring herself, among other things I will

(26:48):
not further elaborate on. She attended Oregon State, she was
not currently registered for classes when she used the library's
Wi Fi connection to broadcasts the webcam performance via her laptop.
Charge with publican decency, she copped to a misdemeanor count
and find one thousand dollars. Over the following years, her
adult film career has blossomed in her social media kind

To San Francisco.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
For the past few weeks, Randall White's been dealing with
a persistent and annoying problem outside of his San Francisco condominium.
He said, I was like, where's that coming from? And
I looked down and I was like, I think it's
coming from the Weimo cars parking lots outside of his
condominion full of driverless Weimo cars. I guess these are
electric vehicles deployed in San Francisco that are autonomous vehicles

(28:30):
and drive people around. So they had multiple incidents where
suddenly the vehicles seemingly become confused and start honking at
each other. Said he heard it the first time about
two weeks ago. It's woking them up about four o'clock
in the morning, he said, But then it happened again
and again, and I started thinking, well, this is an issue.
Not the only one who's had a problem with it.

(28:51):
Several of the people would live in buildings nearby have
also had similar complaints. According to Russell Povski, one of
the residents there, over the past two weeks, I've been
woking up more times over nin than I have combined
over twenty years. Others have reached out to Weimo, he
and others who are complaining about this, and a statement
sent to local news there ABC seven, WEIMO said, quote,

(29:14):
we are aware that in sun scenarios, our vehicles may
briefly honk while navigating our parking lots. We have identified
the cause enter in the process of implementing a fix. Yeah,
I'm not ready to place my trust on an autonomous vehicle.

Indianapolis is the subject matter for this one road raid
shooting on I four sixty five injuring an eighteen year
old erupted over a stray piece of trash that blew
out of a man's pickup just away. Thank you, Jos

(31:22):
trecker Uh. Details by the gunfire in the interstate revealed
ye are earlier this week on Monday, when Indiana State
Police announced ATE arrested a nineteen year old man on
a preliminary aggravated battery charge in connection with the July
twenty first road rage investigation shooting eight thirty pm I
sixty five year tenth Street on the city's west side.
Police said they received reports about shots being fired from

(31:44):
one of the vehicles toward another. Moments later, the calls
escalating into a person's suffering gunshot wounds arriving at a
gas station in the same area. Eighteen year old taken
to the hospital with non life threatening injuries, please said.
The arrest report stated that the eighteen year old report
of the gunfire began after stray pieces of plastic and

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Jeezus. About three days after.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
The shooting, Indneapolis police found an unoccupied gray Nissan poked
with a bullet mark, parked on the Marian University Marion
University campus. Projectile removed from the door panel matched the
ammunition that would have been fired from the handgun used
by the eighteen year old. Police trace the vehicle to
the nineteen year old man who's not yet identified. Idiots
doing idiot things because they're idiots. Detectives and rush reports,

(32:56):
A traffic cameras and cell phone records placed the accused
in the area of the shooting when it occurred, further
leading to them arresting him.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Now, who can argue with that?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Indeed, go to Michigan, where a man was gunned down
over the weekend following an argument about a man's front
lawn just away. Forty seven year old Devereux Christopher Johnson
now stands accused of one count each a homicide by
premeditated murder in the first degree and a felon in
possession of a weapon, as well as two felony firearms charges.

(33:28):
A corner of the Canton Police Department release the man.
Thirty five year old Nathan Morris, sent his wife and
two young daughters away apparently after the dispute ramped up,
and then he unlawfully unwillingly left them forever because he died.
Court of the Cant Police Chief Chad Ball, speaking of
the news, this was a censless act of violence toward
the victim. The can Police Department sends our deepest condolences

(33:50):
to the victim's family to the neighbors who may have
witnessed the tragic event. Officers showed up for shots fired
at ten till roughly ten till noon described the violence
as having occurred quote following a brief confrontation by the
suspect towards the victim, both residents of the neighborhood. Corning
to the spokesman for the prosecutors, offic it's led to

(34:11):
the defendant saw mister Morris walking down the street when
he initiated a verbal argument that lasted for a brief
period of time. Johnson then pulled out a firearm fired
a handgun multiple times, fatally wounding mister Morris. He was
unarmed at the time. He was gonned down. After that,
the suspect bardicaded himself in the home and after issue
being multiple multiple commands, officers successfully engaged the suspect, who

(34:34):
ultimately surrendered to the priest, and as he was leaving
the residence where he was barricaded, he repeatedly said, Praise
to God Almighty, what yeah, I know. Multiple neighbors, speak
of local news, said they had terrible relationships with this crazy,
now arrested guy. The victim, an engineered Ford Motor company,

(34:55):
was involved in local politics. Also remember the Michigan Republican Party,
who happened to shed some light on why this argument happened.
Accord to the RNC National Committee woman, on Saturday, while
taking a short stroll with his family in his neighborhood,
his daughter touched the mulch of one of the neighbors.
The neighbor took a gun out started threatening the family.

(35:19):

A few topics to talk about with Dave. Economic uncertainty
as tax cuts are expiring. Interesting and got me curious.

(37:25):
I have no idea, but apparently he's gonna be talking
about fecal transplants and he will explain the reason the
tax Payer Protect Alliance is talking about them. And finally,
IRS Overreach Prevention Act explanation from Dave on that one.
Following Dave Williams, we'll hear from Sharon Coolidge from the
Cincinnati Inquire. Apparently the city wants Mercy Health to pay
back seven million dollars for a building that had never used,

(37:47):
and what is her position on property tax relief using
railway money. There's a petition being circulated right now to
take six hundred million dollars out of the one point
six billion dollars that they got from the railway sale,
supposed to be used existing infrastructure. I'm just waiting for
that one to be played fast and loose with But.

Speaker 10 (38:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
I just keep thinking this this.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
If they get enough signature to put that initiative on
the ballot in November, I think there's enough property owners
in the City of Cincinnati who would benefit from this
that you can concerning their tax relief that it would pass.
I mean, if you could vote money directly into your
pocket without some sort of you know, legislative fix from
Cincinnati City Council.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Might you be inclined to do that?

Speaker 3 (38:33):

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Anyway, Mike Kis is going to be on an eighth
five talking about the Canteen Beer Garden monthly keg tapping
fun games, I guess at eight oh five, follow by
Judge Ennenopolitano on the FBI visiting Scott Ritter. So there
is your lineup morning again. You can feel free to
call uh stack of frightening right here in front of me.

(39:00):
First off, is this gonna I'm gonna say asking this
out loud because the thought first came to my mind
when I saw the headline. Is this going to turn
into one of those weapons of mass destructions pretexts to
get into war with Iran?

Speaker 2 (39:13):
What am I talking about?

Speaker 1 (39:14):
The State Department announcement just the other day promising a
swift and severe response if Iran sends ballistic missiles to Russia.
Apparently the report's swirling around that Russia or Iran does
plan on sending hundreds of satellite guide to WES weapons
to Moscow already training Russian forces on how to use these.

(39:35):
They're called FATH three sixty close range ballistic missile systems,
and Reuter's reported Friday that Iran is planning to ship
these to Russia in their words soon, referring to multiple
European intelligence sources. So responding to that report, State Department
spokesperson Venant Patel said on Monday, quote, We've been warning

(40:01):
of the deepening security partnership between Russia and Iran since
the onset of Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. This
partnership threatens European security and illustrates how Iran. Iran's destabilizing
influence reaches beyond the Middle East and around the world.
He went on, as our partners have made clear, and

(40:22):
I presume he's referring to the European Union or a
NATO allies, We are prepared to deliver together a swift
and severe response if Iran were to move forward with
the transfer ballistic missiles, which would, in our view, represent
a dramatic escalation in Iran support for Russia's war of
aggression against Ukraine. Well, we already know Iran has provided

(40:44):
Russia with attack drones. You may recall the attack Kiev
in late twenty twenty two of those. Iran also launched
mass and drone assault in Israel in April this year.
One hundred and seventy or so drones and one hundred
and twenty ballistic missiles were shot toward the country.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
So is that a line in the sand?

Speaker 1 (41:06):
And can I ask out loud because I'm not quite
sure what's swift and severe means in the context of
this administration. Are we going to launch a war against
iron if they sell these missiles to Russia? And what's
Russia's position on this? As I pivot over and see
that in spite of the fact that half of the

(41:29):
Democrat Party does not want to support Israel, at least
it's widely reported that it's roughly half. There's a lot
of division within the Democrat Party. There's some concerns over
the upcoming Democratic Convention in Chicago that some of the
delegates may be taking some firm positions on the policy
points from the Democrat administration visa vi Israel. The administration

(41:52):
Joe Biden's administration yesterday approved more than twenty billion with
a B new weapons sales to Israel. Well didn't see
that one coming. They say the weapons will take years
to reach Israel, but nonetheless twenty billion dollars the sale
of fifty f fifteen fighter jets for eighteen point eight
two billion, thirty three thousand tank cartridges up to fifty

(42:15):
thousand explosive mortar cartridges, as well as new military cargo vehicle. Apparently,
these F fifteen's are going to be start being delivered
in twenty twenty nine, upgrading Israel's current fleet. According to
the statement from the State Department, the United States is
committed to the security of Israel and it is vital
to US national interest to assist Israel to develop and

(42:35):
maintain a strong and ready self defense capability. Huh, well
that's a shift. Oh look another shift. The United States
will no, I'll be sending Saudi Arabia seven hundred and
fifty million dollars worth of bombs. This came out yesterday,

(42:58):
that's four days after announcing the end a three year
ban on the sale of offensive weapons to Saudi Arabia. They're
going to receive three thousand small diameter bombs and seventy
five hundred Paveway four bombs as part of the purchase.
State part Department announced Friday that had reversed its suspension
of bombs of Saudi Arabia restrictions previously enplosed by Joe
Biden in twenty twenty one because of Saudi Arabia's war

(43:22):
against Houthy terrorists in Yemen. So Saudi Arabia has got
a problem with the Houthis as well.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Israel.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Look, they're getting twenty billion dollars and more weapons. They
have a problem with the Houthis too, So let's give
Saudi Arabia bombs and weapons so they too can continue
to fight against the Houthis. The enemy of my enemy
is my friend. It's rather sorry situation globally speaking, but
I'm fighting over the prospect of war. And then flipping

(43:54):
back over to the Democratic Convention regarding this particular topic.
Right now, the Democrats are trying to avoid some form
of embarrassment. They don't want to see a clash at
the convention. They want Kamala Harris to be fully anointed
and just send her out so she can enjoy her
moment in the sun, which he's currently enjoying. But apparently
about thirty uncommitted delegates representing the Democratic primary voters who

(44:17):
opposed President Joe Biden, mainly over what they consider is
his favoring Israel. Are making some demands, and after the
twenty billion dollar sale approval, I don't think they're going
to be met. Delegates have demands that will almost assuredly

(44:39):
not be met before the convention starts. First a private
meeting with Harris and arms embargo on Israel want in
the list of demands and altering the Democratic platform by
moving US foreign policy away from Israel. Corn of the Times,
I'd love to have one of these delegates in the
studio right now asking him what they think of the
twenty billion dollar sales approval of arms.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Israel. Anyway.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
They've also demanded privileges for the convention itself, such as
speaking time for their delegates, credentials for staff connected to
the Uncommitted movement, and prominent speaking splot for a person
called doctor Tanya Hajj Hassan who is a pediatric intensive

(45:25):
care physician who's volunteered in Gaza. So may not go
as swimmingly. And they're still expecting protesters, the pro Palestinian protesters.
That's a literation right there, isn't it. Palestinian protests are
still expected to make a big showing at the DNC
in spite of the fact that Kamala Harris is the

(45:46):
obviously presumped the dominee has already been pretty much fully anointed.
But these uncommitted delegates might make a bit of a
well an excrement storm if they're allowed to speak, or
they stir the pot of division within the party. And
of course the Democrats are scrambling to try to avoid
the optics on that one.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
So but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
What your feeling is. You can feel free to call
and volunteer your opinions. But you know that line in
the sand, going back to my original point on our
threat to Iran, if you sell these weapons to Russia,
we're going to well, swiftly and severely respond. I can
see that one getting ginned up much in the same
way we started hearing rumblings about weapons of mass destruction

(46:28):
and then it became this all encompassing twenty four to seven,
Oh my god, weapons of mass destruct webs of mass destruction,
and then we go in and start waging war against
the country and ultimately determine that Huh, maybe that wasn't
such a good idea. Look, No, WMDs and Saddam Usan,
as bad of a guy as he is, did help
stabilize the region because he and the Iranians didn't get

(46:50):
along at all. They kind of kept themselves busy fighting
amongst themselves, and we see the aftermath of that. Can't
see the future when it comes to foreign policy six

Happy Wednesday, looking forward to have Sharon Cooli's back on
the program from the ENCROD to talk about these local stories.
Speaking of local apparently someone Hian and Kentucky bars are
adopting a thirty and older policy for weekends, So if
you're under the age of thirty, the bars don't want

(48:28):
you in there. I think that's pretty good. Let you
decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing
or not, and let us see here. I think this
is great. I say, what about RFK Junior. Obviously he's
keeping the Democrats on their heels from time to time.
He does absorb about five percent or so of any

(48:49):
given pull of Yeah of course Independence lean toward him
more and some of the Democrats leaning toward him. They
feel left out of the process. Of course, they were
left out of the process, stuck with Kamala Harris thanks
to the low cords and masters within the Democratic Party
not giving people a chance or to say in the matter.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
But Robert F.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
Kennedy Kennedy Junior is accused the Democratic National Committee of
warfare lawfair. Specifically, they sued in New York and Judge
Christina Riba ruled that he is not allowed on the
ballot in New York falsely claiming a New York State
residence on his nominating petitions, invalidating the documents, and therefore

(49:29):
cannot appear on New York's ballot. That's ultimately what the
judge concluded there. And because of that, they say it
could lead to more challenges in other states where he
used his New York address to gather signatures. Kennedy and
his post on acts, of course, is the case is
an assault on New York voters who's signing record numbers

(49:51):
to put me on the ballot. The DNC has become
a party that uses lawfair in place of the democratic
election process.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
We will appeal that we will win.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
HM.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Kennedy commented further at a campaign press release, the Democrats
are showing contempt for democracy. Wait a second, aren't they
the party of democracy? I thought Donald Trump was going
to kill democracy. No, just accuse the other side of
doing exactly what you're doing, which is what the Democrats
are so good at.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
He went on.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
He said, they aren't confident that they can win at
the ballot box, so they're trying to stop the voters
from having a choice.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
We will appeal and we will win.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Huh doesn't that sound remarkably familiar to Donald Trump? And
they're going after Donald Trump for literally everything under the
sun and promises campaign promises by officials to go after
Donald Trump if they are elected. You're supposed to have
probable cause that a crime has been committed before you
start launching into investigations against someone, so say at our constitution.

(50:48):
But no, no, I'm going to run on a platform
of going after a guy. I will find something and
then prosecute him for it. RFK is getting some of
the same medicine here, the campaign said. The judges ruling
came in spite of this. Is a quote from the
campaign in spite of the fact that Kennedy is is
registered to vote in New York. New York has been

(51:11):
his primary primary resident since nineteen sixty four. He pays
taxes in New York. He is a New York driver's license,
his legal license and law practice is in New York,
and his falcon re licensees and other recreational licenses in
New York.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Do you know he had a falcon re license? Joe?

Speaker 1 (51:31):
How do you get involved in falconry anyway? Anyway, campaign
senior counsel Paul Rossi, in a statement, said, the Twelfth
Amendment the United States Constitutions governs the residency of presidential
and vice president presidential candidates, not state law. This is
a federal election, folks. We intend to pursue injunctive relief
in the Southern District of New York. If state court

(51:52):
judges are going to ignore the Constitution, the federal courts
must step in and protect the voters' rights. Last week,
Kennedy's campaign, interestingly enough, announced that they had already gotten
enough signatures to be up here on the ballot in
all fifty states, as well as the District of Columbia.
So I think guess he's running as an independent. I

(52:13):
accuse him of being a little bit more Democrat leading
than Republican leading. But if you represent a threat to
the Democrats in their effort to gain office, they're going
to come after you in any way they can. And
of course they have been using the courts now against
Donald Trump, as well as congressional investigations against Trump for
years and years and years. Just one more illustration OURFK Jor.

(52:36):
It's refreshing that he did come out and phrase it
that way and say it that way because he's not
Donald Trump. He's O RFK Jr. He's got no connection
or affiliation with Donald Trump. He's an independent guy. They're
picking on somebody, somebody who only represents a small slice,

(52:57):
a small threat. But in election that we anticipate will
be very, very close, the Democrats can't afford to lose
any votes at all, and getting rid of r FK
Junior avoids that possibility, does it not? Six twenty five
ifty five? Care see the talk station. I'll do local
stories coming up, or take your phone calls. But first

there is no recreational weed or at least legal recreational weed.
That would be our friends in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
and Indiana. According to Cresco Labs Jason Erks in a statement,
you know, we're seeing numbers at dispensaries that rival numbers

(56:20):
and established markets like Illinois that have been up and
running for years, we're seeing that in the first week
in Ohio. Cresco happens to be owner of Sunnyside Dispensary
in Cincinnati, saying demand has been high from Ohioans and
out of states that we're seeing a lot of outer
state licenses when people are checking in a lot of
out of state license plates in the parking lot, and
we know that people want to access regulated, lab tested

(56:43):
products and they don't have access to that in those states.
Of course, anybody from Indiana Kentucky, where marijuana is prohibited,
can buy cannabis in Ohio if they're old enough, but
you can't take it across the state lines without violating
the law, so you do that at your own risk.
But apparently sales are booming, not that that really comes

(57:06):
as a shock to me. One person killing, another injured.
A motorcycle struck a van happened in Butler County yesterday,
according to the release from the Butler County Sheriff's Office.
First responders showed up dispatched the intersection of Pyramid Hill
and Southern Hills Boulevard, where a Chevy van had turned
left when the motorcycle had the right of way and
then hit the van in the front left corner. Air

(57:28):
Care and Care Flight called to the scene for the
driver and passenger. The motorcycle driver taken to Miami Valley
Hospital with life threatening injuries. Sadly, the passenger pronounced dead
at the scene. Driver of the van uninjured. WUTSA, drugs
or alcohol do not appear to be a factor in
the crash. Crash is still under investigation. And as I
always do, and I don't know if a helmet was

(57:49):
being ward, wear a damn helmets, please, you don't have
to wear one, which I appreciate. Wear a helmet and
real quick, I'll get to Patrick, but hold on, let
me get one more of The senior driver was accused
of being under the influence of methan fenamine and the
marijuana when her vehicle crossed the center line on Kilby Road,
hitting another head on May twenty third. Crash caused serious

(58:09):
physical harm to the woman inside the other vehicle, which
was described as a two thousand and seven Chrysler van.
She suffered broken ribs, broken left knee, and tibbia. Stephanie McBride,
thirty eight, of Cleaves, held in the Hamlin County Justice
Center on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and vehicular assault.
Go to the phone to what Patrick's got this morning, Patrick,

(58:30):
thanks for calling in.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 8 (58:33):
Hey, Briyan, Happy Wednesday to you as well.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (58:35):
Hey.

Speaker 8 (58:35):
The reason that I called is, you know, let's rewind
the clocks back here about a year and Joe Biden
had an approval rating of like thirty eight percent, and
Kamala had an approval rating as vice president of maybe
nineteen percent. And I'm sure that's probably pushing it. Now

(58:56):
you fast forward the clocks to today, you know, you
see it is how Kamala is leading Trump in some
battleground states, you know, fifty two to fifty. And I'm
just I'm stunned. It's like, how can somebody has an
approval rating of nineteen percent be so popular and be

(59:17):
beating Trump out? So could you elaborate on that a
little bit?

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Well, my perception is just a landscape change, excuse me. Biden,
his cognitive decline was known to all Americans, although well
covered up by his you know, inner circles, and they
kept saying he was on top of his game. No
problem here, don't worry about it. To worry about it
we all knew differently, and his policies and inflation obviously

(59:42):
having a drag on his popularity. Kamala Harris, what do
we know about her during during the period of her
vice presidency, She cackled a lot, She screwed up a lot.
She was in charge of the border. That's one thing
we all knew that she was in charge of. We
are all struggling mightily under the weight of the unregular
related on check flow of immigration in this country. It's
impacting Democrats, Republicans, independence, communist, socialists, everybody equally. Budgets are

(01:00:07):
being broken, schools are overwhelmed. Resources or tax i got
some fun figures out of New York I can do
in the next segment, it is insanity how much this
is costing us at a period in time when the
economy is well, when we can ill afford all the
weight of the additional millions and millions of people who
do not have jobs and who are on the social
welfare safety net of some form or another. So that's

(01:00:27):
the way she had. She was doing a miserable job,
but she wasn't under consideration. She was, however, the air
apparent to the presidency because nobody thought Joe Biden couldn't
make it through another four years. So when you're asked
about Kamala Harris under those circumstances, she's part of the
administration number two, and she doesn't have her own policies,

(01:00:47):
and she is this cackling, very far left wing individual
and we know that because of twenty nineteen, maybe individuals
willin her own party don't like her because there's all
of her left wing principles and policies that didn't get
her anyway where when she was running for president. This
is just a bad ticket generally speaking. But Biden's the
big weight because he's the one that's got to go

(01:01:08):
out there and try to answer questions and he can't
do it. Then the sigh of relief when Biden steps down.
That takes that problem out of the equation. Kamala Harris
can be made to look good, which is what we're
seeing right now, pre scripted, pre programmed, pre authored statements

(01:01:29):
read from a teleprompter while she refuses to answer questions
from the press. No impromptu from Kamala Harris. She is
capable of reading a teleprompter far better than Joe Biden.
She can be made to come across as competent, but
we still don't know what she's running on. But she's
not Joe Biden. Sigh of relief from the Democrats. And

(01:01:54):
she's not Donald Trump. And that's where the big change
comes because built into this, as we all know, is
this disdain for Donald Trump. You can't utter his name
in some circles without shutters, and you know, with expletives
starting to come out of people's mouths, Oh my god,
a evil Orange man.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
We've been on a sort of a million times.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
It's that she is not Donald Trump and she's not
Joe Biden. Ergo, we're all excited about her. Look, she
can be made to look good, she can be polished,
but just don't talk to her off script. We got
to keep that from happening. Otherwise people will remember how
terrible she is off script, and they will remember her
policies because she's gonna have to run on something, and

(01:02:38):
I don't think she's well can be moved away from
her far left policies, at least not with a straight face.
You know what you're gonna get when you vote for her,
and that is the Kamala Harris who ran for president
in twenty nineteen and the Kamala Harris who sat back
and watched with delight while Biden well wrecked of the country.
That's my take on it. Anyway, you might have a

(01:02:58):
different take. Feel free to call six poin thirty eight

Com fifty five krc.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
HI I'm wrong with it S forty two fifty five
KRCD talk station Happy Wednesday. I mention the immigration one
of the epic failures of Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Being responsible for the border.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
Even though they deny that she is, there's enough on
record comments from everybody, including the administration, that was her responsibility.
But regardless of how you view it, the reality is
we have an open border, whether it's her responsibility or not.
And the reality is mind boggling in terms of how
much money it is costing us. When I saw this

(01:04:40):
New York Post article, New York City. In terms of
the financial harm from the migrant crisis, New York City
has already, they say, suggests are passed five billion dollars
in spending on services for migrants, including nearly two billion
dollars alone on housing. These figures barently came from the

(01:05:05):
city's online asylum seeker funding tracker. Overall, New York City
spent four point eighty eight billion dollars combined through fiscal
year twenty three and twenty four. Based on the rate
of spending, they say it's going to exceed more than
one hundred and twelve million, or rather it's already exceeded
more than one hundred and twelve million since the start
of the new fiscal year, which just started July first,

(01:05:27):
cracking five billion dollars over the two fiscal years. And
it gets worse because the Atoms Administration Mayor Eric Adams
is projected that the cost could double and hit ten
billion dollars over the three year period that will end
in June of twenty twenty five. Here your figures one
point nine to eight billion on housing and rent, two

(01:05:50):
billion dollars on services and supplies, five hundred million in
food and medical costs, and another five hundred million on
it administrative. Another cost the police department. New York Police
Department alone, they say spent twenty one million dollars on
public safety and security cost surrounding the migrant shelters that
the city is funding, you know, the hotels that they've

(01:06:11):
taken over one hundred percent of the hotel rooms fully
paid at full rate by the taxpayers. But those those hotels,
now migrant centers are huge, huge magnets for crime, child exploitation, drugs, assaults, rapes.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
I'm sure you've read about it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
The cost of the crisis, that five billion dollars, maybe
hitting ten billion dollars by twenty twenty five. The cost
to date equals the entire New York Police Department budget,
which is five point seventy five billion. And here's an illustration.
Department of Homeland Homeless Services posted two more contracts this

(01:06:55):
week totaling forty million dollars combined to contract to provide
services to migrants at hotels that have been turned into
these emergency shelters.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Now that's services. So that's forty.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Million dollars for two more contracts, on top of the
cost already paid to house the people at the hotels,
even hotels on Broadway the tourist district, converted to emergency shelters.
I guess the Post apparently called up one of them,
the City View Hotel, which is apparently ever it was

(01:07:26):
at least at some point a very nice hotel. It's
just been a shelter for nearly two years. And when
you call them, they say they're not taking reservations for lodging. Sorry,
we're filled up. All the rooms are generating fat profit
for us. We don't have to offer discounts, you know,
we don't have any senior you know, arp discounts. We're
getting full freight rate for housing illegal immigrants. Asked of

(01:07:51):
about the hotels still accepting as emergency shelters two years
into the crisis, Adam's chief of staff, someone named Camille
Joseph Varlak, said, this is not a New York City
issue or even a United States issue. This is a
worldwide issue. A student observation see Europe, see the United Kingdom. Said,

(01:08:13):
We've had the opportunity to speak with other cities who
are expecting and experiencing migration, and we expect to continue.
Between wars and climate change and all the other issues.
We expect that to continue, so climate change gets a nod.
Apparently we are inundated with illegal immigrants because of climate change, right.
Just you know, I actually was shocked when I read

(01:08:34):
that entire article. I didn't see the word equity used once.
Although you can always expect climate change to come into
every conversation. Six forty seven, but five care see the

morning show this morning, Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 13 (01:10:28):
Thanks Brian, thanks for taking my call. Just a real
quick mention on Robert Kennedy Junior. I'm a Trump supporter,
but I appreciate his work with fighting big pharma and
the vaccines, particularly with children's I mean, he was ahead
of the game on that, and I would encourage your
listeners to go check out Children's Health Defense. Got really

(01:10:51):
a lot of great information from him, and I personally
would love to see him play a role in Trump's administration.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
With fighting That would be interesting if Trump were to
do that. Obviously, they disagree on a lot of different things,
and one of the things that I don't like RFK
Junior on is he's wed to this whole global warming
crap or climate change stuff. So he seems to be
on that side of the ledger. But he's got a
lot of good ideas. I don't find anything wrong with him,
and quite honestly, I would prefer an RFK Junior presidency

(01:11:22):
to a Kamala Harris presidency for a multitude of reasons.
So there may be a space form in the Trump administration.
Can't say for sure, but it's certainly he is getting
the Donald Trump treatment, isn't he? With the law fair
trying to keep him off the ballot successful in New
York and we'll see if that lasts. I don't think
that I think that that decision is probably gonna be
overturned given that the United States Constitution doesn't say anything

(01:11:45):
about what state your residency is. So appreciate the calling,
the observations and sadness. Oh, I was looking forward to
shott In freud of this morning the first thing I
did when I got in and was met with massive disappointment.
Representative eleon Omar was able to successfully avoid getting beat

(01:12:10):
in the runoff, so she won that Democratic primary for
Minnesota's fifth congressional district yesterday. Nah was really hoping she'd
be number three since we got rid of two of
them in the primary so far. So anyway, eleon Omar
lives to fight another day, and we'll have to struggle
through and suffer through presumably her election, and deal with

(01:12:32):
her for another couple of years. So anyhow, struggle with
that person, one of the squad members, far left wing
of the party. I don't know what that says about
Minnesota voters. And again I guess the Democrats are going
to have to go. I'm going back to the twenty
billion dollars in additional military hardware that we've approved for Israel.

(01:12:57):
I'm gonna really look forward to my popcorn out to
see how they navigate the anti Israel folks that are
in huge numbers in Minnesota, Michigan, and I believe Wisconsin
as well. So we'll see how that all works out
for him. Six fifty five fifty five KRC the talk station,

Day Williams from the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, which you can
find online and I recommend you do go to Protecting
Taxpayers dot or looking out for where how our dollars
are spent, and usually they're spent well stupidly. Dave Williams,
it's always a distinct pleasure to have you on my
program Sir, Welcome back.

Speaker 14 (01:14:30):
Good morning, Brian.

Speaker 11 (01:14:31):
I was telling Joe, your producer, off the air that
I can't wait for the campaigns to end an NFL
to begin.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Well, it's just.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
That's funny, you, bron, because you and I've had conversations about,
in addition to street cars, stadiums and stupid stadium deals.
And I had our local sports writer for the CINCINNI
inquired Jason Williams on yesterday talking about I guess there's
some you know, rumblings and things going on about the
it's formerly all Brown Stadium now it's pay course stadium,

(01:15:02):
but it needs upgrades, and we the Hamilton County taxpayers,
are going to be on the hook for a lot
of them. And there was some discussion like, well, what
if they just build a new stadium mount in the suburbs.
And two billion dollars was the price tag that was
associated with it. And the Brown family apparently generates all
of its revenue exclusively off Bengals, so they're not in

(01:15:22):
the multi billionaire club of folks who can actually afford
to pay for a large share of their new stadium,
so kind of puts them in a bit of a disadvantage.
So they just remodeled the locker room, which I don't
know if anybody was asking for, but talking with the
local sports writers and commentators, apparently the Bengals players were like, yeah, whatever,

(01:15:43):
it looks like a discothech. They spend millions of dollars
upgrade in the locker room. Hey can I still hang
my stuff in here and take a shower? I mean,
isn't that what you want? It doesn't help the fans
at all. And it came to the huge expense, and
I guess the Browns decided they were going to pay
for that themselves. But you know, and I look at
a figure like two billion dollars day, two billions of
it is to go in, and then the price of

(01:16:04):
the ticket, the cost of a beers like twelve dollars.
You know, a little skyline chili coney costs like seven bucks.
You can get one for like three bucks at the store.
It's just crazy. And wouldn't you rather be at home
within your giant, high resolution five K jumbo tron TV
and the comfort of your own home and your own bathroom,
your own food, and see the game better, easier, without

(01:16:27):
the headaches and hassles of parking, et cetera. I would think,
and I hate to get down this road, but you know,
like drones are taking over. I think we're probably gonna
need to buy fewer and fewer full sized aircraft for
human beings to fly more. And people I think are
just gonna want to Why do I win it go
and I face the headache and hassle of the game.
I'd rather watch in your home.

Speaker 11 (01:16:46):
Yeah, you can have food delivered to you, you can
have everything to deliver to listen. I would rather sit
at home watch my team lose, then go to a
stadium and watch my team loss and feel the disappointment.
At least I don't have a you know, commute home
after the game.

Speaker 14 (01:17:01):
I'm already there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
I'm sorry to take you down that road, but we
just came up yesterday just too And that's the norm
these days anyhow. And how many games do they play
there each year?

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Not many.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Let's move over to the tax there's uncertainty because we
don't know if they are elected officials in Washington are
going to extend the twenty seventeen tax cuts or let
them fall by the wayside, and everybody's taxes go up,
creating what you note on the Taxpayer Protection website, creating uncertainty,

(01:17:38):
which has got was a real problem for businesses. They
need to have some idea of where we're going tax
wise so they can prepare for the future.

Speaker 14 (01:17:47):
They really do.

Speaker 11 (01:17:47):
In twenty seventeen was such an amazing year for taxpayers
because tax reform was passed, and you remember the bonuses
that went out. Companies expanded their business, they gave out bonuses,
and I remember Nancy Pelosi mocking saying, oh, one thousand dollars.
Who you know, that's not a lot of money for anybody. Well, yes,
it is dollars, is a few car payments, is a

(01:18:10):
mortgage payment? I mean it really makes a difference in
someone's like maybe not Nancy Pelosi, who's worth hundreds of
millions of dollars, but it really rev the economic engine.
And now those tax cuts are expiring, like you said,
and businesses are like, what are.

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
We going to do?

Speaker 14 (01:18:24):
Guys, give us some guidance here.

Speaker 11 (01:18:26):
We need to know if they're going to be extended
and what's going to happen in the next two years.

Speaker 14 (01:18:31):
And businesses make a lot of decisions.

Speaker 11 (01:18:33):
They make investment decisions, they make hiring decision based upon
the economy, based upon the tax code. And that's why
they want to know, and that's why there's such a
high level uncertainty because they don't know which tax cuts,
if any, will be extended.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
You know what really irks me and I'm glad we're
having this conversation just because I can observe once again
that they don't make anything permanent. Why was is there
an expiration date on this? If they want to raise taxes,
force them to vote to raise taxes. Don't build in
an end date, And that would give us all much

(01:19:09):
greater confidence that the tax rates aren't going to change
on us.

Speaker 14 (01:19:13):
That's right.

Speaker 11 (01:19:13):
And if you notice bending is always permanent, is that
these programs are never sunseted, that you have a program
that last time, we have a sugar subsidy program from
the nineteen thirties, Yet we have tax cuts that are
going to expire from twenty seventeen. And you're right, it's
completely opposite of what should be happening. And you know,
I would like for them to vote for this, like
right before an election, you know, vote for a tax

(01:19:35):
increase right before an election. Maybe it would really get
people's attention. I think Congress's attention too well.

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
And we'll see, we would see how that would go over.
But you know, I'd just like to see something permanent.
They'd have the and I guess they have an expiration
date built in at the outset. Is that so they
can get votes that the otherwise wouldn't get to get
the taxes the tax reform in place, or is there
some other nebulous Okay, So it is that, And it's.

Speaker 11 (01:20:01):
A lot of you know, just sort of financial tomfoolery,
right is that you know they you know, they look
at the out years and they say well, after twenty
twenty five, we're going to bring this in the revenue
into the into the government. Well, we never see an
out year. I mean out years never happened. It's always,
you know, the current year. So that's why they do it.

(01:20:22):
It's it's so dishonest with the American people. And and again,
we have to beg to keep our own money. I mean,
I don't understand how we have to beg to keep
our own money.

Speaker 1 (01:20:32):
Dave, you're talking my language, friend, you are talking my language.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
Well, And as far.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
As corporate taxes are concerned, because those those are going
to go up fairly dramatically. And it's a big lie
that the corporations are paying the taxes. I mean, it's
a simple economic reality. It's like if you jack the
property taxes up for a apartment building owner, he's going
to pass the additional tax increase onto the renters. If
you jack the corporate taxes up, they're not going to
sacrifice profit margins. They're just going to increase the price

(01:21:02):
of the goods and services. So it has an inflationary
effect on what we buy. We pay the increased corporate
tax we do.

Speaker 11 (01:21:10):
And right now, the corporate tax rate is twenty one percent.
It is not great, but it's a lot better than
forty percent than what it was in twenty seventeen. Here's
the problem is that other countries have a much lower
corporate tax rate and businesses will leave this country. They
did it before, they did it before twenty seventeen. You
had burger King. They went to Canada. Tim Hortons bought

(01:21:34):
burger King. And they call these inversions where they really
just kind of shift their corporate structure to another country.

Speaker 14 (01:21:40):
But it saves them a ton of money.

Speaker 11 (01:21:42):
And what it does is people are laid off in
this country and it really hurts the revenue coming into
the government.

Speaker 14 (01:21:48):
So it's a no when situation.

Speaker 11 (01:21:50):
And again you said it perfectly, is that companies don't
pay taxes, consumers do and the economy that's who suffers
most notably.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
And then there's the core to the tax rate being
high and companies moving elsewhere, and also the cost of labor.
I mean, why do you think China end up building
so much manufacturing or building the manufacturing base over the
years is because they have cheap, sometimes slave labor that
can make products and without the you know, pesky things
like EPA mandates and edicts.

Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
Osha, oh my god. You know, just businesses.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
International businesses go wherever it is they can build their
products or provide their services for less money. Welcome to
the regulatory overburden we have here in the United States,
which is an enemy to productivity here and investment in
America in and of itself.

Speaker 11 (01:22:35):
You know, at times we don't want to win the
race to the bottom. This time we do with the
corporate tax rate. We want to have the wels corporate
tax rate to bring as many businesses in. And listen,
they came back in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen.

Speaker 14 (01:22:47):
They came back to the.

Speaker 11 (01:22:48):
Country because they saw a better economic better economic conditions here.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
No doubt about it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
And I think COVID woke us up to the reality
that we better start manufacturing our own stuff because if
we get into a a serious war with China, we
aren't going to have anything here.

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):

The Taxpayer of protectional lies. You can find one line
at Protecting Taxpayers dot org. Dave, I'm inclined to read
a quote from your article about fecal transplants deserving light
squeeze regulatory approach that the headline here we go. Here's
a good setup for you segue into what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:25:47):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
Alexandra, sixty six year old retired woman at DC was
defrosting a piece of human feces that she purchased over
the Internet. Her goal was to reduce the stool into
a sloshy, biologically rich mixture, which could then be easily
trans past her rectum and into her colon. She laid there,
allowing her homebrew liquid fecal elixir to seep into her urns,
where she hoped it would bloom new life into her

(01:26:09):
troubled guts close quote.

Speaker 14 (01:26:13):
Wow, how did that work?

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
How did that make it into the Taxpayer Protection Alliance reporting?
Dave Williams, you wrote the article, let's drive, let's drive
into this.

Speaker 11 (01:26:21):
I wrote the article, and someone actually edited this and
didn't take any of this.

Speaker 14 (01:26:27):
That's the miracle of this op ed.

Speaker 11 (01:26:30):
And you know, Brian, the science is evolving in ways
that we just can't comprehend at this point.

Speaker 14 (01:26:36):
Gene replacement therapy.

Speaker 8 (01:26:38):
Now we have people transplants where.

Speaker 11 (01:26:40):
People are really seeing the benefit of these new procedures,
and the FDA is not And the FDA is putting
roadblocks in every place possible to stop these new products,
these new procedures from coming to the market. And they're
scientifically proven, these things are working, and the FDA is
not allowing that. Now, the FDA receives billions of dollars

(01:27:03):
and user fees and tax payer money, they should be
the catalyst.

Speaker 14 (01:27:08):
For these products, for these procedures. They are not.

Speaker 11 (01:27:11):
They are putting up roadblocks wherever they can, and it's
hurting the American people, it's hurting consumers, and it's hurting
patients like this sixty six year old woman.

Speaker 2 (01:27:20):
Well, and as weird as what I just read sounds,
I'm with you. I have read.

Speaker 1 (01:27:24):
I mean, it's been going on for several years now.
I've been all kinds of studies where one of the
problems that we face in terms of our collective health
and this your gut bacteria impacts so many aspects of
your life and your health. You know, maybe responsible in
part for obesity problem we face these days, but there
are all kinds of problems that this procedure, this technique

(01:27:44):
of using you know, a fecal donor and introducing the
donors fecal matter into your gut can turn your your
poorly you know, regulated gut around and give you great benefit.
I mean, it's been demonstrated. So why would they want
to stand in the way.

Speaker 11 (01:28:03):
Well, you have a bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy stands in
the way. And if you look at the drug approval process,
it takes about ten to twelve years and two billion
dollars for a company to get a drug approved. Now, listen,
you are not guaranteed to get that drug approved unless
you're a vaccine and it goes pretty quickly. But if
you have a drug and if they have a threshold

(01:28:25):
of ninety five percent efficacy not safety. Safety is a
whole different thing. Efficacy how efficient it is If it
is ninety four point five the FDA says, no, you
can't bring this to market.

Speaker 14 (01:28:39):
Brian.

Speaker 11 (01:28:40):
Would you take a drug that is ninety four point
five percent effective in a heartbeat?

Speaker 14 (01:28:46):
I would do that. And that's the problem. There's no
flexibility with the FDA.

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
That's pretty damn good odds. And might it be?

Speaker 1 (01:28:54):
And let me just suggest this day, you don't need
to buy into my theory on this. Like bioidentical hormones,
which are widely prescribed for a whole number of problems,
you can't patent them because they're bioidentical. If they exist
in nature, then the pharmaceutical companies can't do anything about it,
and they can't patent them and make money off of them.

(01:29:16):
Feces is sort of ubiquitous, Dave. And maybe because they
can't patent you know, someone's stool and apparently there are
stool donation sites on here. You mentioned in your article
that they don't want that to come on the market
because it might interfere with the patents they have on
things that are supposed to correct your problems.

Speaker 11 (01:29:36):
Well, and look what we're doing with sending stool samples
through the mail to get diagnosed for certain illnesses. And
this has become common, but the FDA threw up roadblocks
for this when this initially came out. But now this
is standard, This is standard for people to do this,
and there are companies out there that are you know,
early detection systems for people to you know, to solve

(01:29:58):
these problems.

Speaker 14 (01:29:59):
And again it's the FDA standing in the way of this.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:30:03):
And there are no edicts or mandates that force you
to get a stool a stool sample to going This
is an elective procedure. This is something that you, by choice,
can choose to pursue if you and your physician and
UH and others think it's the right.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
Thing to do.

Speaker 11 (01:30:19):
Yeah, and I can't imagine a lot of people would
do this, you know. Just Yeah, there's a term out
there I wanted to use, but I couldn't use it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
It's a little it's a little off putting, I might,
I might point out, you know, I get that. I'm
not quite sure if I'd stand a line to do
this myself. But if I was struggling and I had
some real problems, and there has been a demonstrated benefit
for this procedure and it isn't harmful, then yeah, I
think I would go ahead and give it a shot.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Some people.

Speaker 11 (01:30:51):
Just want people to have the option to do this,
and the FDA is taking away those options in.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
A not too Thomas Massey, I'm thinking of raw milk
as well. Well, you know you should have the option
if you want to drink raw milk. No one's forcing
you to do it. If you know it's raw milk
and you know it comes with some risks, then fine,
you can take this risk, like the ninety four points
something percent approval.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
That's a risk I'd be willing to take.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
Stick around one more, Dave, we'll talk about IRS Overreach
Prevention Act and maybe get a little insight into the
Cato Institute pole showing Americans preference on trade, considering we
know where Donald Trump is on that he wants to
levy tariffs on Chinese products. Is that something the American
people want? One more with Dave Williams from the Taxpayer
Protection Alliance. Well, I get to mention Plum Prestige Interiors.

(01:31:37):
John Ryan is the man you'd be working with. Get
in touch with John for your kitchen remodeling project. Because
John has been doing kitchens exclusively, almost exclusively for like
thirty five years. I think he's with you every step
of the way like he was with my wife and me,
and we wanted the whole thing taken out. Did not
like our kitchen. It was, you know, the builder special.
It was getting all run down. The cabinets looked poorly
at least, like let's take it all out and start

(01:31:59):
all over with that. We got a beautiful new kitchen.
Working with John, his ideas were outstanding ideas that we
weren't thinking about, including changing the way the flow worked
in our kitchen just so much better, a dramatic improvement.
That's what you're going to get big projects and small projects.
If you just want to replace cabins and counterdops, he's
the man to work with as well, he'll help you
stay within your budget. A true inspiration guy is he'll

(01:32:21):
have great ideas for your kitchen and he is your

Station Happy Wednesday, Tax Fair Protect Lines Dave Williams. Dave,
I like this IRS Overreach Prevention Act you can get.
You can do your taxes pretty cheaply out here in
the real world by yourself with some inexpensive software. So
why we need the federal government to do it?

Speaker 14 (01:33:01):
Wow?

Speaker 11 (01:33:01):
So the IRS has started this new direct file program.

Speaker 15 (01:33:05):
Where from the bottom of their hearts, they will prepare
your returns for you because they know that you are
so busy and that there's no private services out there
that they will do this, say, will prepare your returns.

Speaker 14 (01:33:19):
Obviously a huge conflict of interest.

Speaker 11 (01:33:22):
Yes, mister or missus, IRS is not gonna look at
your tax return and think, hmm, mister Williams, We're gonna
try to get you the biggest refund that we can
because we're the IRS and that's what we're what we
want to do. Obviously a huge conflict of interest. The
IRS cannot even protect basic information that they're holding, and
now they want more of our financial information a hoarendous idea,

(01:33:45):
and someone in Congress is finally standing up and saying, no,
we need to shut down the direct file program.

Speaker 14 (01:33:52):
We submitted foya's Freedom of Information.

Speaker 11 (01:33:54):
Acts to the irs, asking them how much this program
was going to cost, and they said they have no
records that are responsive, they have no idea what's going
to cost the American taxpayer to fully implement this system.
And we asked for foyers from a couple of years
or information from a couple of years in zilch zero, nada.

Speaker 1 (01:34:16):
Well, let me ask you this direct question. Are they
authorized to do this? I know they're funded and well funded.
They are, but don't they have to have a specific
congressional authorization to launch a brand new, extraordinarily expensive program.

Speaker 14 (01:34:31):
They are not authorized, And they lied to Congress.

Speaker 11 (01:34:35):
They said that they were going to do a pilot program,
and they're asking Congress for permission to do a pilot program. Well,
guess what today they had the program already set up,
and they spent twenty million dollars initially just to get
the initial part of the software done, and now they
want full implementation that could cost billions of dollars. And
they got zero authorization from Congress, and that's why some

(01:34:59):
members of the HOW representatives aren't very happy right now,
and they're trying to shut this down. I mean, obviously
we're working with them, but they're trying to shut this
down asap.

Speaker 2 (01:35:08):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
Being the lawyer and recognizing the complicated issue of standing.
If I had standing to go to court on the
IRS illegally or improperly using these taxpayer dollars to expand
a program that they had no authority to do, I'd
probably win that case. But getting into court and having
standing is a tremendous hurdle to overcome. So that's why

(01:35:28):
you got to pass the law rather than running into
court and pointing out that it is not within the
parameters of what the IRS is permitted to do with
the money.

Speaker 11 (01:35:38):
That's right, And they did this pilot program this year
and they're expecting I think fifteen million people to use
this system, and about one hundred thousand did. Brian, we
know the American people are a lot smarter than a
government takes us for right, and we know what's going on,
and people understand that this is not within the purview

(01:35:59):
of the IRS, and this is not going to be
an our economic interest at all.

Speaker 1 (01:36:04):
Well, and I'm sure this will break across party lines
for whatever reason, just because some Republicans are pushing forward
with this. Are there any Democrat co sponsors on this.

Speaker 14 (01:36:16):
I don't believe that are no, there are none.

Speaker 1 (01:36:19):
Shocking anyway, speaking over to what the American people want
and don't want and what their perception is.

Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
What about trade?

Speaker 1 (01:36:25):
I know, at least we know Donald Trump has stated
out loud on the record one of his party platforms
is to raise the tariffs on Chinese goods. A lot
of economists are saying that will be terrible for the
American people because would increase the cost of those goods
and we don't have an alternative place to get them.
What does the Cato Institute Paul show about preferences on trade?

Speaker 11 (01:36:46):
So this is fascinating because both parties, because the Democrats
and the Republicans are talking about terifs, and you would
think that this is something that's popular, that if both
parties are talking about this, it must be a popular thing. Well,
the Cato Institute seventy five percent said that.

Speaker 14 (01:37:01):
Consumers worry you could raise prices. Well, guess what tariffs
do raise prices? Again?

Speaker 11 (01:37:06):
Going back to the corporate tax rate when you add
a cost to something that gets passed on to the consumer.
And a lot of people I think it's over sixty
percent want to have more trade with foreign nations. And listen,
there is a China problem, but that doesn't mean we
have a ten percent tariff on everything that comes into
this country, not to China, but from other countries. That's

(01:37:28):
the problem is that these are you know, broad tariffs
that would be put in place again by both parties,
and it's just raises accurrences on goods that are coming
into this country.

Speaker 1 (01:37:38):
Well, and of course invites trade wars in the form
of counter tariffs on American produced goods we try to
sell abroad. I mean, that's just the next step logically,
it is.

Speaker 11 (01:37:48):
And I remember someone from Cato, this is years ago,
we were talking about free trade and they said, why
do businesses need permission from the government to sell their
things to other people and other countries. Why we have
to get permission from the government to do everything. We
should just be able to do this and not have
this barrier.

Speaker 1 (01:38:07):
Understood. But you know the other the flip side of
that is the more you trade with China, the more
profit they make and the bigger their military gets. And
they do have somewhat of a problem with US and
how we do business, and would certainly love to take
over Taiwan, which is against US policy. So yeah, I
mean there's two sides of this. You got to be

(01:38:29):
able to weigh both. And just remember, if there are tariffs,
whether you form or against them, the price of goods
will go up. I think we can all just agree
on that one concluding point, correct, Dave.

Speaker 11 (01:38:40):
Undoubtedly the prices will go up, and we have seen
them go up, and again we're talking about massive tariffs
that both parties are talking about.

Speaker 6 (01:41:37):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (01:41:38):
I'm actually looking more forward to topic too, because i
just find it so comical about the six hundred million
dollars fund to help residents of the city with their
property taxes. We'll get to that, but let's start with
what happened with Mercy Health and this bond Hill facility.
They got a tax and centive pack back in twenty fourteen,

(01:42:01):
the Bonster Coors Mercy Health System did to go into
this bond Hill building was supposed to boost the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (01:42:09):
High paying jobs.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
Of course, earnings taxes is where sixty four percent of
the city's budget comes from. So all that sounds great,
but then they didn't end up using it. So the
city is now saying, hey, we gave you this incentive package,
you owe us seven million dollars because you didn't make
good on your obligations. My first question was what happened
to the site and why didn't it work out?

Speaker 6 (01:42:33):
You know, not go into a building. It wasn't some
building that was sitting there. It was taking the old
like movie theater site blighted. You know, what are we
going to do with this and building this beautiful news
structure and then filling it with jobs, right, it sounded
like a dream, absolutely, and you know what, Honestly, I

(01:42:56):
have to say it was working all the way up
until COVID. It was growing that it was a bustling place.
But once COVID hit the world changed. And they're saying it,
and they said it in twenty twenty one in a
letter to former Mayor John Cranley. We're going to stay remote.

(01:43:16):
It's best for our company. That's what we're doing. The
city didn't really, I don't know, pay that much attention
back in twenty twenty one, but they said it definatively
in a letter, we're going to work remote now, and
that's what they did. Well, they're remote.

Speaker 1 (01:43:30):
Well that was I mean, Sharon, back then, that was
in everybody's best interest because if you're working from home,
you're not spreading the evil COVID around. So there's no
way you could push back on something like that when
really that was kind of what was being asked of
the public generally speaking, across the board in any given industry.

Speaker 6 (01:43:47):
No, one hundred percent. I mean, the world has changed,
and I think the city's really trying to grapple with
that now. I think we're seeing this in more and
more places. I mean, the Ge building is not living
up to its promise, and then we see in bond
Hill the same thing, these two big new buildings, and
then you're going to redo the Sax building. When that

(01:44:09):
sounds great, pay Courts is going to be a main
tenant there. They're remote. Nobody's even pretending the pay course
filled with the bunch of jobs that are paying earnings taxes.
They're I mean, they're like, this is a meeting space
and it and it is. They're being upfront with what
this plan looks like, but it's not some company coming in.
Uh with all these shops they pay earnings tax.

Speaker 1 (01:44:32):
Well, I know what you do in order to recover then,
in order to recover that, ready the earnings taxes that
you're not getting from the likes of pay Corps and
Mercy Health. Just raise the earnings tax on everybody else
to make up for the loss.

Speaker 6 (01:44:48):
Have to have products, not your idea. That's the future
commissioned idea. That's the there's not trying to take your
credit for that. Well, so you know, we're not happy
that this year. This was a very big conversation behind
the scenes, and I was prepped and ready as really,
what is this going to look like? What is this
vote going to look like? And in the end they
felt like they didn't have enough time to get it done.

(01:45:11):
I mean, I'm just gonna say it. They would have
really looked like hypocrites. They were like the budget process
was too fast. But then they were like, oh, well
maybe we'll do an earnings tax. You're like, you're seconds
from having to vote on this, Like, why aren't you
going to talk about it and tell the public about it?
There just was not enough time this year. They're owning

(01:45:32):
it though, and I don't know if it has enough
support from counsel. I think there's like a picture, like
a sigh of relief. We don't have to say how
we feel about this right now, but this is definitely
going to be a conversation. I think next year.

Speaker 1 (01:45:46):
I would say, do you see this evolving into litigation?
Because I'm guessing Mercy Health has said no. I mean,
this was out of our hands.

Speaker 6 (01:45:56):
And Health actually said yes. Once we really started writing
about it, Health came out and said definitively that they
were going to pay it, which is really saying something
because ge has like this huge settlement package that was
kind of cut behind the scenes, and I think was
a forty three million, but it was like a lot
of things that had value attached to it. Nobody wrote

(01:46:18):
that kind of check to the city. It was like, oh,
we're donating an old engine to Cincinnati State so they
can study and everything. I don't hate that, okay, but
it's valued a ten million dollars. We're going to do
these volunteer hours, and it's you know, valued at such
and such. Like the only real hard cash seemed to
come out of that was two hundred and fifty thousand

(01:46:40):
dollars for the port to do a study about what
should happen next with like the big parcel of land
next to pay Horse Stadium. So that really wasn't a
cash but it does seem like and we're going to
find out on Thursday. There's a big meeting between Mercy
and you know, the Development Department and the city manager

(01:47:00):
and what's going to come out of that. Now Mercy
said they're going to pay it, So but I don't
say anything's a don untail till it's actually a doneel well.

Speaker 1 (01:47:08):
And in the final analysis pay it or not. Maybe
they see that they're obligated to do it. That's fine,
settle it like ge did. Whatever that happens, those jobs
are not going to be in the City of Cincinnati basically,
that's they're not going to be there.

Speaker 6 (01:47:21):
No, they're not. And that is like is it really
the changing? That's how much it's changing that we can't
I mean remember one was like, oh, Cincinnati is an
amazing like we're on the upswing and everything's great, and
I do believe that. But then where there's jobs don't
want to come here, some people will still work in person,

(01:47:41):
and it's like, really, what does that look like. And
the people you're electing Next year is a big election
year the mayor and city council, and I don't know
what those races look like because I don't have like
a tenth person who said they're running or someone who's
running against the mayor. But people really do need to
learn they're looking at who they're voting for. I think
this is a pivot point, and the Futures Commission did

(01:48:03):
not sugarcoat that these business leaders are like some changes
have got to be made here, and are these the
people who can make the changes? People have to kind
of decide this is the path forwards everything we're hearing about,
and we.

Speaker 1 (01:48:17):
Will count on the likes of Sharon Coolidge others at
the enquire and local reporting to give us as much
information on those candidates as possible. So maybe we can
write this ship would consider me, would make appropriate decisions
when we're voting. Sharon, let's pause. I want to bring
you back talk about the other issue, which I think
is I just keep laughing about it. Six hundred million
dollars taken from the railroad, a pot of money to

(01:48:39):
provide property tax relief for Cincinnatians and Cincinnati residents may

Speaker 1 (01:50:34):
Fifty five Krcity talk station. Brian Thomas with the Cincinnion
inquires Sharon Coolidge, pivoting over to the railroad money being
used for property tax relief. Of course, everybody is reeling
from the massive increase in property tax is brought about
by Yes, a corollarya of COVID and the property values increasing.
Many people can't handle it. Many seniors are on fixed
incomes and the property tax bill goes up three by

(01:50:56):
thirty percent, and they are where am I going to
get this money? Brinkman, former Republican state representative, who has
proposed a ballot initiative signatures being circulated as we speak
to take six hundred dollars out of the one point
six billion dollar railroad fund from the stupid sale of
the railroad and put that into a separate fund to

(01:51:16):
generate revenue to help Cincinnati property owners of all sizes,
shaped stripes, and income values to get some property tax relief. Sharon,
can you imagine being able to vote to have money
to get money to lower your taxes? This sounds like
it probably would pass if they get enough signatures. What's
your take on this one?

Speaker 6 (01:51:36):
I definitely think there's some concern behind the scenes. No
one's really saying anything. Everyone's waiting. I mean, it's a
very tight timeline to get the petitions of the valid signatures.
I think people are kind of waiting you know, some
of the public talking points, so like, of course people
want to pay, they would want to pay for all
these services. I'm like, what does that ballot language look like?

(01:52:00):
I was like that, do you want someone in the
city to pay your property taxes? That does seem like
a yes to me? Not well, yeah, I agree with
you there.

Speaker 1 (01:52:08):
And not because I, you know, from a matter of
you know, policy standpoint or my political leanings, think it's
you know, it's like, well, people can put their hand
in a cookie jar. They're going to put their hand
in a cookie jar. And I don't know that necessarily
that's the right thing to do, but this is I mean,
Tom Brigman was not in favor of the sale, and
he knows that people are suffering and struggling, and this

(01:52:30):
is a mechanism for people to take money away from
the seemingly limitless number of things that they could use
the money from that fund to go to, and force
them to give relief to the actual residents of the city.
I just I think it's a wonderful, you know, a
work of I don't know, brinksmanship. If I can maybe
so loose with this with the phrase.

Speaker 6 (01:52:53):
You know, I think there's probably there's a lot of
pieces to this one, but he certainly has hit a
nerve with what people are thinking and feeling in the city.
And I think that's super important that this is the
conversation that people are feeling pinched they can't afford to
buy a house, the real estate market is kind of stagnant,
like what does middle class look like in Cincinnati? And

(01:53:14):
he's really hit upon something where people are like, this
is what people are talking about in their real lives
and worried about. And so it is an interesting conversation.
Can they do it? It's hard to tell because it
has like that state component, and everything is going to
take a lot more vetting, but it certainly seems like

(01:53:34):
a conversation that the actual citizens want to have.

Speaker 1 (01:53:37):
Themselves well and without Norfolk Southern's money involved in something
like this, do you think there's going to be any
sort of funded opposition campaign? I mean, I think the
issue or the idea itself is about an issutive sort
of sells itself under the circumstances. So will there be
a well funded or well organized opposition to doing this?

Speaker 6 (01:53:58):
I guess, Well, here's the thing, so I'm not nothing
is a six million dollar campaign. Nothing that is how
much money norfolks on there and put into the campaign
to pass that railroad sale six million dollars of their
own money, and you know they didn't make any bones
about it, like the most I can't nothing ever comes
close to that. So certainly not that. No, it's this

(01:54:22):
tight timeline. It's going to be hard to cut through.
I don't know if you've noticed, there seems to be
a presidential election going on, and that is the news
cycle that this higher it's not like a city level
news cycle, right, it is people paying attention to the
presidential race. It's going to be very hard to cut

(01:54:42):
through and make the case either way. It's going to
be really left. I think the citizens they're going to
look at a boat language on the ballot and be like,
what is this okay? And it wouldn't be understample now
that we can't discount the sample ballot. Of course there'll
be a sample ballot. I can't is on the ballot

(01:55:02):
I would count on, you know, the sample ballot saying
no vote no uh. And I think the sample bollot
really is going to carry the day in so many cases. Yeah,
but do people look at this and like, hold, hold up,
do I want someone else to pay my property taxes?

Speaker 1 (01:55:18):
Well, and you know property taxes and whether you can
afford them or not. I'm sorry that does not fall
into a political category that hits people equally regardless of
whether they belong to the Republican or Democrat party. So
that maybe the Democrats would put vote no on the
blue none of the blue slip. Maybe does not necessarily
represent the interest or the beliefs of the Democrats in

(01:55:40):
the City of Cincinnati, since they got to pay the.

Speaker 6 (01:55:42):
Bill, which is a real thing.

Speaker 2 (01:55:46):
Yeah, it's a real thing.

Speaker 6 (01:55:47):
Say, oh, the Democrat a Republican prosecutor share for all
these races, and like you maybe like somebody who don't
like somebody, but you have to get out your checkbook
and write a tax property taxes. You don't have a choice.
And people, I there's a real fear, Like I have
seen people cry about this. Yes, there's a real fear.

(01:56:09):
It's you know, it's it's kind of scary to be honest.

Speaker 1 (01:56:12):
Well, keep writing about it, and I'll keep my popcorn
out because this one I can't vote on it. It doesn't
impact me. I don't live in the city, but I
certainly have a profound interest in this and how it unfolds.
So Sharon Coolidge will be looking for the reporting on
at the Enquirecincinnati dot com where you find Sharon and
the crew. And I appreciate you coming on the program
and enlightening us as well as keeping up on the reporting.

Speaker 2 (01:56:31):

Speaker 9 (01:57:23):
Man Ah Good and Morgan Brian. It's always a great
time when I get to be on with you and
I see you at all the different German events as well.

Speaker 1 (01:57:32):
To Smart the time, Man, what a great time. And
Lord knows in these trying times, you know, politically and
socially speaking, we need a place where we can all
come together and collectively have fun, which is what all
these German events are all about.

Speaker 2 (01:57:44):
God blessed. That is what gumulate Kite is. So Mike,
that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:57:49):
What Okay, let's start with before we get to the event,
which is the Canteen Beer Garden Keg Tapping, which is
already sounds alluring to me. Tell my listeners about those
German guys. You can find them on Facebook at those
German Guys, or go online to their website, Those German
Guys dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:58:05):
What are you guys all about?

Speaker 9 (01:58:07):
Yeah, Well, you know Willie, my partner, Willie g. You know,
he he grew up in Germany. His dad was in
the military, lived in Stuttgart. My dad's side of the
families from Munich, my mom's side of the families from Hanover, Germany.
Actually in over the Rhine. My great grandfather had a
grocery store where the drinker he is and over the
Rhine that was his grocery store in eighteen forty. Yeah,

(01:58:28):
So we have a lot of German tradition with Willie
and I and those German guys, and we started this
just to promote everything German and Cincinnati, all at different clubs,
all the different events. So you know, we post stuff online,
we get a lot of events, and you know, it's
just all about the fun and kimukleikite like you said, Brian,
and you know, we just try to share the fun
and make German fun and cool.

Speaker 1 (01:58:49):
So, I mean, you support all of the various German clubs,
and lord knows we've got more than most people are
even aware of. I mean, the obvious ones come to mind,
like Colping, but you're wed to any anyone given group.
You'll support every october Fest that comes down to Pike,
regardless who's hosting it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:05):
That kind of thing.

Speaker 9 (01:59:08):
We go out and we volunteered a lot of these
different events as well for the different clubs. You know,
you have Germania, Liberty Home, Dona Schwaben and Coping as
you mentioned, so yeah, we partake in all there. So
like Dona Schwabin Schwabinfest, Willie and I were in the
book as those German guys pouring beer for them, and
and your buddy Joe Strecker was there with us too,
so we all had a great time.

Speaker 1 (01:59:28):
Of course he was there. Nobody's more German than Joe Strecker. Anyhow, well, well, Mike,
I guess before we move on to the event we're
going to talk about today.

Speaker 2 (01:59:39):
You do events throughout the year.

Speaker 1 (01:59:41):
Is this an organization those German guys dot com that
like welcomes new members or is it just you and
your buddy there which do this promotion on your own?

Speaker 2 (01:59:49):
How does that work?

Speaker 9 (01:59:51):
Well, actually, we are going to start accepting members on it.
That was one of the things that we have in
the work. So we're going to make those German guys
and have a beer stuba at Moreline Logger House. And
it's kind of not really a club, more of just
a gathering, so just trying to bring everybody together. We
don't want to have meetings and get it all confused

(02:00:12):
with all that stuff. We just want to have everybody
get together, drink beer, share the comuglic height, which is
what the German culture is supposed to be without all
the headaches.

Speaker 1 (02:00:21):
Well that's wonderful, and you do have access for I
understand from your website to some of the new German beers.
And I'm intrigued by an event you have called strong
beer Fest.

Speaker 3 (02:00:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (02:00:36):
Well that's a well in Munich, Germany. That's the second
largest fest in Germany, next to Octoberfest. And it started
out as a way for the people, you know, fasting
during Lent and everything like that. And the strong beer,
which is stark beer in German strong beer it's like
seven percent APV or higher and they used to drink that,

(02:00:59):
you know, during Lent. Oh yeah, interesting thing with that is, yeah,
like you know a quick story, Uh, Polaner Salvatore is
the first stark beer, and you know, the monks were
drinking that, and then the spread by monks and you
know they thought, well, you know, maybe we're breaking cannon
law here by you know, drinking this beer. So they
sent a keg of it to the Pope and Rome

(02:01:20):
and by the time the keg had got there, the
beer had spoiled, and the Pope was like, he took
one drink and he was like, if you guys want
to drink this, you're fine. It's not going to violate
any Canada. Well, so that was the beginning of Stark
Beer Fest.

Speaker 1 (02:01:33):
Oh that's hilarious. That's actually a great story. I'm glad
you told it. So come here coming up. What the
Canteen Beer Garden keg time and Canteen Beer Garden on
Harrison Avenue, is that what we're talking about?

Speaker 2 (02:01:46):
Correct?

Speaker 9 (02:01:47):
Correct? Cantina Ka and t I n e uh. The
owner Peter Schuster, He's from Germany. He makes a lot
of different dishes from scratch. It's a charming, cozy little restaurant.
It's tucked away. It's kind of like where Crosley Field
used to be. And like I said, many of the
menu items he has he makes from scratch. Last month

(02:02:07):
he had a gulash that he made and actually we
topped the keg of Weltonberger ten point fifty and he
actually used some of the beer from that in the gulash.
So you got to check out his students. Absolutely fantastic
and we do the keg tappings there the third Thursday
of the month, and you know, since we're kicking off
Octoberfest season Peter this week, it's this Thursday night at Cantina.

(02:02:31):
We have spot in Octoberfest that we're going to be
doing the keg topping and we do that and we
have a lot of different fun and games and Peters
also has a costler Richen which is nope, porkchop, mashed
potatoes and sauerkraut as the featured menu item this month.

Speaker 2 (02:02:47):
Oh you got my mouth water And with that, let
me man.

Speaker 9 (02:02:50):
I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (02:02:52):
Now that's okay. It happens all the time, you know.

Speaker 1 (02:02:54):
And I love Octoberfest season, which we can talk about
a little bit here, but because a lot of the
German will come into the studio and with them they
bring all of the fare. You got your pastries and
your sausages and all the other wonderful German food and
I get to eat it in the morning. So just
looking forward to those guys going to the studio. They're
all welcome. Anyhow, So what time does this event?

Speaker 2 (02:03:16):
When is it? What time does this event start? At
the CANTEENA beer Garden.

Speaker 9 (02:03:20):
This is this Thursday, five thirty to ten pm. And
like I said, we normally do the keg tappings on
the third Thursday of the month at Cantina. And that's
kind of like the other thing with those German guys.
You know, we go to different organizations and we do
different events at different places such as Cantina. We used
to do the tag tappings at Mecklenburg gardens. Unfortunately Mecklenburg's close,

(02:03:42):
so we move them to Cantina. So we need to
support our German restaurants and things like that in the
Tri State. You know, we've lost quite a few of them.
So Cantenan is really a great place to go and
you need to check it out. He does a great bruchtook,
which is breakfast on Sunday morning. It's a traditional German
and breakfast with the soft boiled eggs, you know, cold cuts, cheeses,

(02:04:04):
and you know, he also has omelets and things like that.
But he also serves as traditional German breakfast on Sunday
mornings as well.

Speaker 2 (02:04:11):
Well. Joe Jerker just ask him.

Speaker 1 (02:04:12):
Here are is canteen of Beer Garden by any chance
open uh for lunch during the weekdays.

Speaker 9 (02:04:20):
Uh, I'm not one hundred percent sure on the hours
on that.

Speaker 1 (02:04:24):
Okay, maybe I didn't want to put you on the spot.

Speaker 14 (02:04:28):
Yeah, that's okay, you.

Speaker 2 (02:04:29):
Just had because Joe said the bunch.

Speaker 1 (02:04:32):
I'm just thinking, well maybe just maybe down the road
to some day we could have a listener lunch there
and help support that. Uh that that that restaurant, but.

Speaker 2 (02:04:40):
Any of that. So if a Jill put a link
up to your your website.

Speaker 1 (02:04:45):
On my blog page five krcy dot com, so folks
can follow you and learn about all the other events
you're going to be doing throughout there, and you do
some things coming up, including what I the us A
A Ohio Steinholding Championship is that is that coming up
down the pike here it is you.

Speaker 9 (02:05:00):
Know, only the Germans could come up and make a
sport out of my beer. So imagine this. You have,
you know, a group of people, they're standing there at
a table, you know, facing the table, there's a leader
dimpled beer stein there full of beer, and you pick
it up and you hold it straight out with your

(02:05:21):
arm completely straight and you see who can hold up
the longest. So that is mos krug Stemmen, which is moss,
which is the Steinkruge Holding, you know Cup and Stemen Holding,
so that's the Steinholding. So more Line is actually the
host of the State of Ohio championship for steinholding. There's
other fourteen other states in the US Steinholding Association that

(02:05:45):
have a state championship, and the state championship is going
to be at more Line October twelfth, and there's competitors
coming from all across Ohio. They're going to competing at
Morelin Loggerhouse for the state championship. And you know, we
have and stuff like that. And then if you can
imagine a WWE championship belt, we give those away to

(02:06:06):
the men's and women's champion.

Speaker 3 (02:06:08):
Yeah, it's a.

Speaker 9 (02:06:09):
Who it's a great time.

Speaker 1 (02:06:10):
Oh, Mike a couple of years he just stepped in.
I tarted it up, but you just said, yeah. I
was going to ask you if there were men's and
women's divisions on this, recognizing some of the problems we're
having of late with men and women, uh in terms
of categorization or self identification. But there are men's and
women's diet.

Speaker 9 (02:06:27):
Yes, yes, yes, there's men's and women's. Tim Plannard, who's
the three time raigning men's champion. He you know, he
usually holds for about twelve.

Speaker 2 (02:06:37):
Minutes something to.

Speaker 9 (02:06:40):
Yeah, oh, I know, this is crazy. I mean there's
a whole culture of steinholding out there that most people
are probably not aware of. But this is a big deal.
We had thirty men compete last year for the state
championship and every twenty women.

Speaker 2 (02:06:54):
Oh that's a see.

Speaker 1 (02:06:55):
You know, I always joke around her, say it truth
that not a day goes by on the morning show.

Speaker 2 (02:06:59):
I don't learn thing.

Speaker 1 (02:07:00):
And you know, I've been working with these German organizations
since I've been on radio, and I don't ever recall
talking about this being such a well organized event and
well participated in serious event. I suppose I could add
how about that? Yeah, well, well maybe you're round for
that one too. You can hear you're always here, welcome
here in the fifty five Cassey Morning Show that spread

(02:07:20):
the info about the German heritage and tradition, all the
events that go on.

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
We're blessed.

Speaker 1 (02:07:24):
We are so blessed to have such great German culture
and to be able to celebrate it here at greater
Cincinnati area.

Speaker 9 (02:07:30):
So yeah, no doubt if I could quickly absolutely in
order to compete for the State Championship, you have to
win a qualifying event. There's different qualifying events throughout the
tri state and Moreline Loggerhouse has a qualifying event on
August thirty first, so you can qualify there at five pm.
Greg is also going to reveal his October Presidentcinnati menu,

(02:07:52):
which includes Rotissery chicken and the famous hour craft balls.
And he has a keg tappy in at six pm
of dots Uber, which is more Line's Octoberest Best Beer,
which is the same type of beer served in the
Munich Beer Tense. You know, it's a fantastic beer made
by more Line, as all the beers at more Line
are fantastic, So you need to come out that and

(02:08:14):
that's August thirty first at more Line Loggerhouse. We have
the keg tapping and the qualifying steinholding event that you
need to compete in to compete in the State Championship.
If you'd like to win a WWE Championship type belt
it says State of Ohio Champion.

Speaker 1 (02:08:29):
For Steinholding and of course ESPN eight THEO will be
covering that event.

Speaker 2 (02:08:34):
I'm sure, well.

Speaker 9 (02:08:37):
You joke, but they have the last two years we've
been on the Espno, I did you not, Brian, the
last two years not having Yes, so we are playing
and it does it. It was on the show and
they've been there the last two years, Brian. They are

(02:08:59):
planning on hopefully coming back as well.

Speaker 2 (02:09:01):
That's great.

Speaker 9 (02:09:02):
You kind of stepped it.

Speaker 14 (02:09:03):
In on that one.

Speaker 2 (02:09:07):
Oh that's okay.

Speaker 1 (02:09:08):
Just Trekker Cities actually tuned into it before, so I
was caught in my effort to make a joke.

those German guys on Facebook. You'll find them right there.
And uh, Mike, thanks for everything that you guys are

And hope to see you there brother, and hope to
have you on again real soon talking about more events

Speaker 9 (02:09:38):
I appreciate it, Brian. It's always a great time, my friend.

coming up on Judge and Andapolitano at the bottom of
the hour, and first word from my dear friends at
Bud Herbert Motors, they're going to take great care of you.
But Herbert Motors if you need any kind of law
and equipment or you need lawn equipment service, they service
everything they sell and fifth generation family and are operated.

(02:10:01):
But Herbert Motors, you're working with a Herbert family member.
They are proud of what they have done for the

Haunted Power Equipment. They have some great specials going on

box store where you're not working with a family member

it together, only to find out a conks out as
you try to cut the grass for the first time. Now,
but Herbert Motor is going to delive you something running,
ready to go, and you too will be cutting your
grass before the truck even leaves the street. That is
assuming you buy a mower from them. But they have
all kinds of equipment I remember, but Herbert used to

(02:10:47):
point out, and it's so true. The most expensive tool
you'll ever buy is a cheap one. That's why I
was so happy to hear when I bought that Honda mower,
it's the last one I'll ever have to buy made
that well. And of course that's why but Herbert Motors
carries it since that he's hometown dealer again for more
than seventy five years. Bud Herbert Mootors dot com. The

will be required listening for the new school year for
all government and civic classes. The judge is next chuck
Ingramont fifty five K see the talk station.

Speaker 2 (02:12:42):
That'd be a welcome addition to their educational requirements.

Speaker 1 (02:12:45):
Brian Thomas always happy to welcome judge edit a Paula
time of the fifty five Kose Morning Show. Great to
see you, Roun, I say specifically see because I only
just now click the right button so I could see
your face. I'm talking to Joe, like, where's the judge,
where's the judge? So if you waved at me, I
was not ignoring you, But now I can see you.
It's always great to see and I love having you
on the program.

Speaker 4 (02:13:04):
Thank you, Brian right back at you on seeing you
and being on the program, and on never knowing where
Chuck Ingram is going. I think that's still sharpened it
on the school bus what.

Speaker 2 (02:13:16):
Well today's today's students.

Speaker 4 (02:13:18):
Would learn if they if they were listening to what we.

Speaker 1 (02:13:21):
Talk about, they absolutely would And I certainly agree with
that completely and that is not a joke. But today
is the day that the CINCINNTI public schools start, as
well as quite a few other school districts have their
kickoff today, which seems so early to me. I mean,
I seem to recall we didn't start school until like
the beginning of September, and it's like they have kids
in school more than like for the vast majority of

(02:13:43):
the year. But in any of that, that's where those
comments sprung from. Can I ask you a question real quick,
because sometimes I try to throw you a curb bar.
Just try to bring up a subject that we're not
talking about today your column. We will talk about the
FBI visits Scott Ritter. But before we get to that,
I saw that the Eighth Circuit blocked Joe Biden's lawless
Save plan, that student loan forgiveness plan that he initiated,

(02:14:05):
and I circled the appropriate words. Because we've got a
Supreme Court that's reigning in the well the regulatory of
the administrative state, the major Questions doctrum was brought up.
They said, there is no authority under law for the
loan forgiveness. They can modify maybe some terms under the
law that exists, but they can't forgive the student loans.

Speaker 2 (02:14:27):
This is just one more.

Speaker 1 (02:14:30):
Under again the I guess post Chevron era we live
in where you've got to have specific legislative authority to
do something. So I thought this was a great development,
may end up in the Supreme Court, but at least
they put the brakes on that one. Reportedly going to
cost like half a trillion dollars.

Speaker 4 (02:14:46):
Well, most people may not know how it works. So
you're a college student. Your parents income qualifies for a
federally inshort loan. You borrow the money from the bank.
You promise to pay the bank. The federal government guarantees
the bank will be paid back. Ten years later, you
still haven't paid the bank back. If you default on

(02:15:08):
that loan, the taxpayers pay the bank back. That is
money that comes out of the treasury. For Joe Biden
to trigger that on his own violates the Constitution, which
says that no money shall come from the Treasury except
that which has a been expressly authorized by Congress and
b is recorded in a public journal. That's pretty basic,

(02:15:30):
and that's what the Supreme Court ruled about a year ago.
Joe Biden, perhaps sensing his loss of popularity in the
public at large, thought that he could more or less
buy the votes of a significant class of young people,
not necessarily dead beats, just young people that are behind

(02:15:51):
in their loans or that are not in behind their loans.
You may have borrored forty thousand, and you still owe
fifteen bingo, Joe Biden's going to pay the last fifteen
for you. You're probably going to vote for him for reelection,
or at least this was the thought eight or nine
or ten months ago. He after the Supreme Court ruling,

(02:16:14):
went out and did it only now what was his
did it? Anyway? What was his justification? There are about
twelve different programs here. The Supreme Court only ruled on
one of them. In my opinion, and I suggest in
yours pardon me, the ruling was so sweeping it should
apply to all, but technically it only applied to one.

(02:16:37):
So Joe Biden and his advisers said, Okay, we won't
forgive loans in this one program where we lost in
the court, but we will forgive loans in the other eleven.
Last week the Eighth Circuit said, forget about it. You
can't forgive loans in any of them.

Speaker 1 (02:16:53):
And of course the Biden administration has always signaled that
it will be appealing that I under the current make
of the Supreme Court, they've already been down there this
road before. I expect in that opinion, not only will
they uphold the Eighth Circuit's decision throwing the sound of
the major questions, doctor will probably also probably give the
Biden administration a tongue lashing in the decision itself.

Speaker 4 (02:17:12):
If there is a Biden administration, by the times this
case gets to the court.

Speaker 1 (02:17:16):
Yes, Oh, maybe we could say the former administration at
DOUN lashing for defying what was the obvious from their
original case. I appreciate you indulging me in talking about that,
at least for a brief moment in time, pivoting over
the FBI visits Scott Ritter. I emphasize visits because you
have that in quotes in the caption. We're back to

(02:17:37):
the Constitution. We're back talking about the Patriot Act and well,
the erosion of our constitutional rights.

Speaker 4 (02:17:44):
Look, the FBI got a search warrant for Scott's own
full disclosure. He is a longtime friend of mine. He's
a controversial figure. He's a former marine. He's the former
chief UN Weapons Inspector, the one who told George W.
Bush Saddam Hussein does not have weapons of mass destruction.

(02:18:06):
Bush threw him out, told the public that he had them. Anyway,
Scott turned out to be right. He is an anti
war warrior, a fierce piece activist, harshly critical of the
United States government. Andy has some business interests in Russia.
What are those business interests? There are some media outlets

(02:18:27):
in Russia that pay him by the peace for some
of his media appearances and for some of his articles.
The FBI persuades a federal judge that he's a foreign
agent because he writes some articles for some Russian entities
media entities, and they raid his house. The search warrant

(02:18:49):
identifies three three electronic devices, a handheld and two desktops.
Forty FBI agents show up, a swat team and a
bomb explosion team. They take a truckload of materials from

(02:19:10):
his house, including all of his notes from when he
was the Chief un Inspector in two thousand, including a
draft of a book he's working on. While they're taking
the notes, they say, come over here, Scott, we want
to talk to you. They show him two years worth
of emails and texts text messages that he sent and received,

(02:19:33):
printed out, which they obtained without a search warrant. Well,
how the hell did they get them? They either hacked
into his computer, which of course is a felony, or
they use their cousins in the CIA and the NSA,
which hacks into everybody's computer to get them for them,
which is also a felony. That's where we stand today.

(02:19:55):
None of this is surprising because that's what federal law
enforcement is like today. I don't know where this is
going to go. I don't believe he's a foreign agent.
I don't believe he's subject to foreign agent the Foreign
Agent Registration Act, commonly known by its acronym of PHARAH.
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 1 (02:20:16):
Hunter Biden, however, would be subject to PARA. But we're
not bother rating his home with forty agents and letting
him subject to scrutiny. But in terms of these, we'll say,
illegally appropriated emails that you refer to, were they the
predicate for the issuance of the search warrant?

Speaker 4 (02:20:35):
Great question. He quite properly said, let me see the warrant,
and they, under the law, showed him the warrant. Then
he said, let me see the affidavit or affidavits which
were used to induce the warrant, and they said, under seal,
we can't share it with you. So he doesn't know
who signed those affidavits or what they said.

Speaker 1 (02:20:57):
Well, if you I mean to the extent that they
died him otherwise prosecuting for failing to register a foreign agent,
then he can argue that the search warrant and all
the information gathered ac cordons was in violation of the
law because they get appropriately secured search warrant because it was,
you know, the fruit of the poisonous tree. They stole
these emails. If they were used to get the warrant
and establish probable cause, then all of it should be

(02:21:19):
thrown out.

Speaker 4 (02:21:20):
Correct, correct, But that will not happen. You know, under
the Federals a criminal procedure, the Feds can keep this
stuff for sixty days. By the way, he asked for
a receipt. He's been through the receive issue before when
the State Department stole his passport at JFK Airport as

(02:21:41):
he was about to take a trip to Russia. He
asked them for a receipt and they said no. He
asked the Feds, the FBI agents, he said, by the way,
these FBI agents were pleasant and professional. My beef is
not what the forty of them, although it was a
little overwhelming of forty people running through your house. My
beep is with the people who sent them. Anyway, they

(02:22:03):
gave him a receipt only for the three electronic devices
which they were authorized to seize. They did not give
him a receipt for the truckload of documents, papers, and
gifts gifts his wife had given him, gifts friends had
given him that they also seized. And why the bomb squad.

(02:22:24):
He has a son who graduated from welding school, and
the sun welded together two or three odd looking modern
art pieces, and the fence were worried that there was
a bomb inside it, so they had the bomb squad
ripped this thing open and satisfied them that there was

(02:22:45):
no explosive inside it.

Speaker 1 (02:22:47):
This is like the KGB IF Yeah, yeah, I can't
believe this is my country that we're talking about here.
And the warrant must state with specificity the items to
be seized correctly, they can't. He's going in a field
day and start literally like it sounds like you're taking
every single thing they run across.

Speaker 4 (02:23:06):
That's apparently what they did. This is really uh an
eye opener to the American public for what can happen
to anyone now. Scott is a fierce critic of the
Biden administration's policies in Israel, Gaza and Russia Ukraine. Is

(02:23:28):
this some effort to silence him? If it is, if
it won't work. The only way to silence them would
be to incarcerate him.

Speaker 1 (02:23:35):
Or if you've a lot of me, to put and
kill him.

Speaker 4 (02:23:40):
It was you know, he's on a kill list. The
kill list is written by an NGO non governmental organization
in Ukraine. The NGO is funded by the US State Department.
Scott Ritter is on that kill list for Ukrainians to
kill if they can. I mean, this just keeps getting

(02:24:03):
worse and worse the deeper you dig into this. Merrick Garland,
where are you? What the heck is going on?

Speaker 1 (02:24:11):
Well, he may be behind it for all we know
at this point, your honor, Yeah, right now.

Speaker 4 (02:24:16):
Lincoln, Tony Blincoln, where are you? Your state department is
funding a kill list and the kill list has Americans
on it.

Speaker 2 (02:24:25):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:24:26):
Well, you know, I always prefer ending on a positive note,
but we're not going to get there today.

Speaker 2 (02:24:31):
We're not going to get there today, I feel.

Speaker 1 (02:24:32):
But you know what, I thank God for you and
being aware of this and bringing this type of issue
to the attention of my listeners and the broader general
public through your Judging Freedom podcast, And we always end
this will be a positive note. Who are you going
to be speaking with today Judging Freedom.

Speaker 4 (02:24:48):
So the journalist Aaron Mate at eleven, the ex CIA
agent who also told George W. Bush there are no
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Bush threw him out,
Phil Gerrady, And at two o'clock one of my superstars,
Colonel Douglas McGregor. Colonel McGregor could very well be the

(02:25:10):
Secretary of State or the Secretary of Defense in a
Trump administration if Trump wins the selection.

Speaker 1 (02:25:19):
Oh, we'll keep our fingers crossed for that. I know
we both have our problems with Trump, but considering the opposition,
we don't have any idea what Kamala Harris might do
other than what she campaigned on back in twenty nineteen.
I think what you're talking about today we would have
much more of under a Kamala Harris administration. These violations,
this is fast and loose with the Constitution, and demonstrated

(02:25:40):
that thus far, I can't see the policies being different
down the road. Judge Annapolitano, always a pleasure. I recommend
my listeners follow you. Just search for Judging Freedom. You'll
run right into him on Facebook or YouTube. Next till
next week, my friends. Always my brightest pleasure of the
week to talk with you.

Speaker 4 (02:25:55):
Same here. Thank you Brian, and remind Chuck I love him.

Speaker 1 (02:26:00):
How fast at a long sharpen your pencils eight forty
three bus fifty five KR see the talk station cover
since you talk to John Rule on the other day,
I do this show with John on the weekend cover
since the recent healthcare together. And obviously, you know you
think a half hour program on medical insurance would be

(02:26:24):
boring or unpopular, but no, quite the contrary, and he
has gotten a lot of phone calls as a consequence
of that little program. But also for me mentioning to
you that you know what, if you could save hundreds,
if not maybe a thousand, maybe more dollars a month
on your medical insurance and get better medical coverage, wouldn't
it be worth a few minutes of your time? And
that's really what it boils down to. It's why his

(02:26:45):
phone is ringing, because that's what he does each and
every day the week he and his team. A lot
of people call up and insist I got to talk
to John. I gotta talk to John. So I've been
in a position of being able to meet quite a
few members of his team and we talk with him
and you'll be hearing that in the Sunday program Rethink
Healthcare Together. But many of the folks over there, they're
all just trained. John insists on a well oiled machine.

(02:27:06):
They all know what they're doing. They work with one
hundreds of medical insurance companies, thousands of policies. They do
an individual deep dive into your specific insurance coverage and
find a better way, and it's something they do every
single day. So, whether you're an individual without insurance, you
have insurance, you think that you don't like your Obamacare
plan because there's no dollar one coverage, you got to
go into your pocket real deep. Every time you get

(02:27:27):
to the doctor. You can get that dollar one coverage
and you can pay less. Also, if your Medicare, there
are some deadlines heading your way and you really need
to get in touch with John and the team to
talk about Medicare as well as the available options that
are out there.
