Speaker 1 (00:13):
Seven oh six, I think about HAIRCB Talk station. Brian
Thomas wishing everyone. I'm very happy Friday. I love my Fridays,
and I love talking to folks, and I love particularly
when folks I'm talking to are in studio. And thank
you Jonathan Pearson, running for Hamilton County Commissioner, for joining
me in studio to talk politics for a while here. Jonathan, good,
have you Ron? Good?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Thank you Ryan. I appreciate it. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Uh nothing really to talk about in the world of politics,
is there.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
No, it's a slow.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
World and it's uh, you know it. May you live
in interesting times. These are such boring times, it is, Jonathan.
The first thing I said to you when you came
in the studio was like, commissioner race has really really,
really been very low key. It's sort of like it's
just off in the distance someplace they haven't known. There's
no racous debates and no finger pointing and no you know,
(00:58):
prominent you know, display of alternative viewpoints why you should
vote for me and why you shouldn't vote for her,
that kind of stuff. Not a lot of reporting on
the commissioner's race either, any I mean, are you in
agreement with me?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
On that jam.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Since you're the candidate, I mean, you would know better
than anybody else.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's been very interesting because people I've spent more time
explaining what the Commission does, right, because most people stare
at me, go what is it? So what? I always
my tagline is it's the most boring important job in
the county. Oh, that's a wonderful way of putting it.
Because we deal with a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It is the largest chunk of which is the Sheriff's department.
Of course we're all pulling for Sheriff Jim Neil or
Jim Neil former sheriff. I think he's the best qualified
for the job. And I don't recall anytime that Jim
Neil had his firearms stolen from his vehicle.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
No, don't. I don't think Jim would be the type
to leave it in his car either.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Right, Yeah, and even can you remember the lock your
junk in your trunk campaign to avoid smashing grabs? Yeah? Yeah,
Physician heeled iself just nexter plugging there for Jim Neil
because I really supported he's a good guy. And of
course Hamilton County prosecuted Melissa Power is so important to
keep her for Oh, extremely, she's tough on crimes.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
She's the last She's literally the last one in America
that a major city for Republican.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh, that is so disheartening.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It is because of the fact that the average Republican
thinks of their community as a safe, vibrant place to
walk around and do what they want to do. And
let's just think of these cities that we start talking about.
Just name one, Detroit, Cleveland, you know, let's be local Indianapolis,
and you say, well, there's not a high crime in there.
The FBI just secretly snuck in the new crime status.
(02:42):
I saw that and uh huh shocker. They went up
sixty five percent under Biden. Gee, I'm stunned.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, yeah, and it's interesting. You know, honestly, I'm surprised
that data came out before the election, correcting the record
in advance.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, they corrected it actually in September. That's how quiet
they did it. We didn't even know that, and it
was found by accident, by I think it was of
all things like USA today, it's hard to wish. You
would have never figured they would bring it forward.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Not exactly your conservative leaning newspaper. Is that Jonathan Well
let's talk about your qualifications. You're running for Hamilton County Commissioner.
Clearly you understand the job, since you're going around and
explaining it a lot to folks. But by way of
background and what qualifies you to the extendingbody really needs
to be qualified for public office anymore. Quite often, like
(03:32):
for example, in the prosecutors race, some are not qualified that.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, I'm stunned. But the Democrats were willing to put
up somebody who is nothing but a perennial runner.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I mean, honestly, she runs for everything but qualified for nothing.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And it's I think their belief, and I think it's
a well founded belief, at least if you're a betting
man that Hamilton County is blue. Now, so if you
can just really run anyone with a D after their name,
they're going to win.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah. I would like to think, for you know that
the D in this case would stand at least for
demonstrating some talent. But I can't say that of that
particular person. You don't want to put her name on
the record. Do you want to remind my listeners who
you're running against, because Adam Kaylor also has an opponent? Yeah,
you know, We're running against three House and Reese for
(04:22):
the Commissioner's office. And the reality is that I wanted
to run because there's a lot of money that we're
talking about. I mean, I don't think people understand how
much money that the commissioners deal with. One point three
billion dollars and you know, deals with all the moneies
that come in from property taxes and from the sales tax.
It doesn't go to the city. The rest is going
through the county and we deal with that, and those
(04:43):
go to the various projects that you are go around,
and the most notable to everybody as a sewer system
and the mngals Stadium and the convention Center. Well those
are monstrously large ticket items and I don't think people
realize what that means to their day to day life
in this little or we call Hamlet County. And my
whole goal was simple, let's go in and just as
(05:06):
I say, am I thing well studied budget. Everybody wants
to have these fancies terms a balance structured budget, which
is just a lie. It's we've managed to fool you
so you're stupid enough to not look. That's their hope.
The reality is well studied budget is where you go
line by line by line and you just start picking
that thing apart and you look at it and say,
do we really need one hundred million for all of
(05:27):
these things? Do we need this job to be five
million can be done at three, This job for five
may need actually seven million, And then we start getting
this So when we go to things like the sheriff's office,
which is extremely important and one of the largest things
we fund, we actually have the money. We can look
at a good sheriff neal and say, hey, what do
you really need the money for? And you know, do
(05:47):
you need more for more deputies? Do you need this?
Because right now the sheriff's offices is funded ridiculously well
for the people that are there, and they're losing.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
People are down.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
They'll she'll say that there's plenty of people in there
because their HR department said, no, actually it's going up. Well,
as I mentioned in one interview, sure it's going up.
Because when you're in a hole, there's only one way out,
you know, So when that many people walk away and
you hire one more person, well you've got you know,
you're really on the move now. And the challenge that
we're facing and all of that is why are they leaving. See,
(06:21):
when we work politics from identity as opposed to talent,
it stops at the door because once I see you
at the door, I know what you are. Whether you
want to say that you're you're gay, or you're black,
or you're white, or you're jew or whatever, all of
that becomes pointless when you sit down at the table
to do the job. And so now it's may.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
On behalf of every resident of the county. Yeah, and
we're made up of a real wild mix of folks
here in Hamilton County.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That's the beauty at this county. I know, man, I know,
I think that's the beauty of this county because when
I was I grew up in Springfield, Ohio. There's a
nice city to nothing going on there, you know. So,
but it was interesting because in my background I went
to school in an inner city Catholic school. And it
was inner city in every way except where it was Catholic.
(07:09):
But everything you expect to happen inner city school. I
mean we had to step over drunks and drug addicts
to get into the building. Okay, sometimes I have to
call sister and sister so and so is drunk and
he's blocking the door and we can't open it. I mean,
that was my school. And when I moved to Cincinnati,
I was stunned to meet people that didn't go to
school with black people. I didn't know that that was
(07:30):
even possible. So to come down to a community that
got that started to be more leaning towards an identity
as opposed to a community was a little strange to me.
And so I really got more involved in community itself.
And I love this county. You know, I live in Fairfax.
I love our little burg. It's very interesting little burg.
In regards that I always joke and somebody said, weren't
(07:52):
you concerned about the riots. I said, no, they'd discover
that we believe in the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, you don't see me riots in either.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now the Fairfax is not going to have a ride
anytime soon, just because of the reality. We firmly believe
in the Second Amendment. But the reality is that, you know,
I looked at it more from the community standpoint and
everything that I got involved in, I never worried about
somebody's identity other than they identified as being part of
the group. And I think that's true when we look
(08:23):
at the Commission's office. We look at it from the
budget standpoint. We're not trying to pigeonhole something to one thing.
You know, right now, they keep throwing money at this
and say, see, we're giving money to help this person.
We're giving me money to help this person, this group.
Why aren't we helping somebody to actually stand up on
their own two legs and move forward. This is the
infamous Give a man a fish, feed him for a day,
(08:43):
teach him how to fish, feed him for a lifetime,
and he becomes one of those community leaders. Well, that's
what our challenges in the county. People are tired of
being given fish, so they're leaving. It's the same thing
we're seeing at the Sheriff's department, and we've got to
get people to be part of this community and get
(09:04):
away from the identity of look at my individual You
have to recognize my personal individual identity as opposed to
a Hamiltonian County resident.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, I'm in favor of merit. You know, the whole
concept of equity is you don't have someone of a
particular gender in the mix. Well, if there is someone
of a particular gender out there who is both best
qualified for the job. Get that person out here and
have them run for the race.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I mean that's the point. Color of skin doesn't matter.
It's content of character in this particular case, merit and
ability to handle the affairs of Hamilton County on behalf
of all Hamilton County residents. Simple concept. Yeah, that's it.
We'll continue with Jonathan Peterson. Will take quick break care

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Six twenty or seven twenty rather come up in seven
twenty one to THIK five Kerce. He talks Stasian Brian
Thomas enjoying my in studio conversation with Jonathan Pearson, who's
running for kind of commissioner, saying wise, rational thinking human being.
Amazing that someone like that is trying to enter politics
doesn't care about identity politics because he knows it doesn't
matter a whit at all. What are you gonna do
(12:22):
for the county? He related a story to me he
met some guy who introduced himself as a gay man.
He's like, I'm straight, and the guy got a little
bit offended, and you had an interesting back and forth
with that, ultimately proving to the guy it does not matter.
Now you haven't even told me your name yet. You
said to the guy like, oh mo, name's Bill, and
you shake his hand and it's like taking aback. And
(12:44):
you know there aren't enough people like you to kindly,
not angrily, or just point something like that in a
very friendly, subtle way. Oh I'm straight?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, Well what does that matter? Exactly?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
That was your opponem so and Yhow we do have
one politician running for re election in the county that
really starts every conversation with I'm a lesbian. Does it matter?
Are you doing the job effectively?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And you are?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Are you a good manager of people? Are your people
happy to be in your environment working with you? And
I think across the board pretty much. The answer is no.
In certain departments. Beyond that, Jonathan, you mentioned the sewer system,
we're still onder that federal consent to CREE. Correct. Yeah,
(13:30):
let's talk about that a little bit, because I know
it is what multi billion dollar project. Some projects like
this deep tunnel they wanted to build were so dumb
and so outrageously expensive. We've been able to pair that
back a little bit. But where's what's the status of
this and what would Jonathan Pearson be doing relative to
the sewer system.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, the one thing that fascinates me about the sewer
system is I do a lot of maintenance for people,
So I clean out sewers, I'll do whatever, you know,
and I take care of things. So I'm used to
doing stuff that nobody sees. You know, your Pierson landscape
and my Peerson's landscape, and so what I see because
I actually do maintenance within that company too, and so
I do a lot of stuff that once it's all
(14:10):
covered up, nobody saw what I did. And that's exactly
what the sewer system is. So nobody's seeing it. So
it's not like seeing the stadium redone, or a new
convention center or an addition to the convention center. Yet
it affects every one of us. It affects every one
of us in an enormous way because flush your toilet
there you go, you just use the sewer system. Well,
(14:32):
the challenge is who's actually checking to make sure that
we're doing these things. If you go down to Fairmont.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And these things would be the solution the problems that
are designed to fix the overflows.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And part of it was the rain sewer. The rain
water and the regular sewer were mixed, and you know,
and we have a like we did that just the
other day. We had that massive water come through. And
you mix that with your regular sewer, your sewers can't
handle that. And for some people in certain neighborhoods they
discover over that painfully. And you know, and you're not
(15:03):
being backed up with nice clean water either. And for
the longest time, the metro sewer's way of repairing that
was here, here's a thousand bucks, get somebody to clean
it up. And you know, it's still that went into
your basement. Let's just think about that for a second.
I know you like my dog pooping in the house,
so why would I want yours in my house? Yeah,
and so the same thing. But I but this is
(15:25):
where the FED stepped in and said, hey, you can't.
That's not a fix, that's not even a solution, and
so they said you have to do this. Well, this
is the ready shoot aim mentality that we did with
the stadium. We're doing with too many things, or did
it with this and metro sewer the same thing got
tagged across the river at st One there. That's their
(15:47):
comparable system, and so they have to segregate all these systems. Well,
that's easier said than done when you've got a lot
of buildings sitting on top of the sewer systems, because
it's not just as simple as digging up the street
and putting in a new pie. There are buildings in
the way, there are streets in the way, there's infrastructure
in the way. And Fairmont, as I mentioned before, if
you use that as a great example, you go down
(16:09):
there and is this nice little running creek for the
mill creek and stuff. Well it might be nice, But
to the residents that lost their homes, and businesses that
lost their businesses, and the parking lots that are all missing,
that's the effect of what happens when we start sticking
homes all over the place without thinking of how to
get rid of the water and waste.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well, and I suppose, you know, somebody made the decision
that those homes weren't worth saving, and that this project,
this greener way of you know, filtering out the water
and creating this nice park in an area that really
was rather run down. I don't think any you can
acknowledge that it was.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It had its challenges, but you know, a challenge doesn't
mean that isn't somebody's home. And I think sometimes we
forget that part, and that's there are other ways to
manage to the water without destroying whole neighborhoods. But when
you start getting into the green movement and you want
to put the green movement in something that even though
it's practical draining off storm water, you don't need to
(17:08):
have a big, old, super wide creek with the park
sitting to the side. When you just took away Granny's home.
At a certain point, where does green stop?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You know?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I always say that, people say, well, yeah, but you know,
with all this urban sprawl and all these different things,
and then within the city we've got of this. I
always laugh and I say, I blame it on God.
He's the first one to make people have to move.
He kicked him out of the garden. So you know,
if we get over worried about having to build a
new home and different things going on, that's just part
of the human progress, you know, So don't be panicked
(17:41):
by it. But we'll incorporate, you know, what we're doing
within that. And you know, I think that that's the
great challenge that we're facing right now with the sewer
project is people don't want it to happen in their neighborhood.
So let's go down to this neighborhood and we'll make
it green down here. Because I guarantee you that sewer
project that that kind of a cut wouldn't occurred in
the middle of Hyde Park.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
They also don't get a whole lot of Section eight
housing being.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So well, the connected community is trying to change that. Oh,
I know, let's pause, is are out of time. We
got a lot more to talk about it, including the
stadium deal. More with Jonathan Pierce, So you can find

on fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Seven thirty one year, fifty five KERR City Talk Station,
Brian Thomas with a race for County Commissioner that's running
way low under Reverdy's radar. That I have one of
the candidates in studio here endorsed by the Hamilton County
Republican Party, Jonathan Pearson. You are endorsed by the Republican Party.
You're on the right site.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yes, I am. I am endorsed. No, it's official.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Take it for granted. No, he's right there. You can
find out where he is on the various issues. Of course,
his background and he's got some you know, business experience.
He is the owner operator Pearson's Turfin Landscape. We were
talking about that. I've been doing that since nineteen ninety
two and moving away. So we talked about the sewer
and before we move away from the sewer. Just generally speaking,
(21:10):
that's one of the areas where I know we have
a consent degree. I know there have been some really
big arguments about certain projects, like, for example, I mentioned
the deep tunnel thing, which I think got nixed because
of the outcry and the seemingly stupid, stupid nature.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
It's not that simple to dig a tunnel. No it
is not. People think you just for a hole through.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
No, no, it's not that simple.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So are you aware of does anybody know what other
projects are already baked into the cake? Right now? We're
going to see more projects like you mentioned in Fairmont?
Is there a better way to do it?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
To the details, I don't actually know all the firm
details of them. That's one of the things I'd like
to sit down with and actually see the actual plan
as to where things are.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Because going back to your initial comment, we started stage
by page reviews.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Just go through it and then the biggest thing is
if you can keep the actual plan on task and
those who are in the supervisory rules of running it,
you know, daily reports, not this we'll sit down every
two weeks because I think if you hold it to
a daily event, because the county runs daily. Yeah, I
mean there's a shocker to some people, it actually runs daily.
(22:19):
And if you look keep that on task and then
go to the subcontractors and actually know who they are
and you know, are they capable or was it again
a you know, a yeah, you know, we get into
and these are examples of these projects. We do it.
We want to do it for the stadium, want to
do it for the convention center. We get so caught
up and making sure that we do inclusion that it
(22:40):
didn't occur to us. Can they do it? They going
back and is it equity or is it competentcy? And
a lot of people say, oh, you're anti inclusion. No,
I'm for who's ever the best guy walked up and
said I can do that job if his company is
all whatever, I don't care, don't I don't care if
(23:00):
it's they're waving their flag of look at me where
the Jewish gay group? Fine, I don't care. Can you
do the job? Can you fix it? And so again,
the identity stops at the door once you go through
and you have to actually do the job. Can you?
And I think that that's one of the challenges we face.
(23:21):
We get so caught up spending all this time making
sure we get all that taken care of. These projects
get waylaid because between the community here and between the
state and between the Feds. They all say you have
to have ex percentage of this, ex percentage of that,
ex percentage of this without occurring that if we haven't
helped these particular groups, like we got rid of vocational schools.
(23:45):
Here there's a thought, Hey, let's help people that don't
have a desire to go to college to actually have
a vocation. Huh, how naive? My brother went through a
vocational school. He was a mechanic, he was phenomenal. You
know what, if you'd have kept him in a four
year high school.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
He'd never have achieved. No. Yeah, it's collegeing for us.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I had a lot of friends went through vocational schools,
God bless them, and there was a great thing. And
now we're kind of like, well, yes, but little Johnny,
little Susie's got to get that college degree so she
can go out and be you know, she can get
that great degree in political science and do what. Well,
guess what. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I didn't make fun of that degree. That's the one
I got, but I knew I was going to go.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I didn't go to I'm running for an office. And
I didn't get a political science degree because you don't.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Need one trust you don't got one, And no you
don't if you're a fan of politics like I was,
and you want to get a degree in your hobby
like I did.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But I knew I was going to go to law school.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
See, I didn't expect my political science degree to be
the source of revenue down the road. I expected my
law degree would serve me well, and it did obviously
shifted directions. But you know, there is a demand in
certain areas for lawyers, but there's not just for political
science degrees.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But that's that's my whole thing. And we get so
caught into this that we're so worried about identity that
we forgot of helping somebody actually make a living back
to teach a man to fish. Yes, and so that's
been what's slowing many of these projects up.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well, and the exclamation point on slowing these things up
is obviously, the more you kick the can down the
road chasing what butterflies or whatever, the more expensive the
project gets. Inflation is a topic of conversation of late
and yes, it does impact construction more with Jonathan, just
give me a second here, because I'm going to steer
you in the right direction by telling you to go
(25:34):
to Foreign Exchange get your imported car fixed. Austin is
the man, and he's got a great team of AC
certified Master technicians at that Westchester location, which is the
one I've always gone to. Outstanding service, family like environment
and fixing your car with a full warranty on parts
and service and not costing nearly as much as the dealer.
Saved all kinds of money taking the cars to Foreign Exchange,
(25:55):
So you should do the same thing because they do
have access to your manufacturers technical information. Brian, you don't
even know what kind of car I drive. I know
I've seen really exotic cars in there and have also well,
my Honda. I've been self deprecating that Honda looks terrible.
It's got one hundred and fifty thousand plus miles on it,
but it still runs great thanks to Foreign Exchange. No
(26:15):
need to get rid of it. Just keep it running
and think about winter time. Get your car wintererise, have
them check the battery, the tires, the fluid levels. Don't
get stuck in the frozen tundra parking lot because you
didn't have the battery checked out. They can do that
for you. Also, make sure you know you have brakes,
are in good shape. You know what it is. Just
get ready for winter. You can do that at Foreign
Exchange Foreign the letter X dot com is where you
(26:36):
find them online. Tylersville exit off seventy five. If you
get to the Westchester location, just go two streets each

Seven fifty five KRCD talk station Brian Time is spending
an entire hour in studio with Jonathan Pearson, running for
Hampton County Commission, endorsed by the Republican Party. And I
thought a very thoughtful man. I guess you were getting
the impressed you've been listening to Jonathan speaker with the
you know, being thoughtful by going through the various documents
page by page, looking at more thoughtful solutions, say for
the sewer project, maybe ignoring and avoiding the stupidity of
(28:11):
woke politics and let's just cut to the chase and
hire bottom line competent, capable people to do the job.
And that's a great idea. What interesting concept that content
of character, not color of skin or who you sleep with.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Can you do the job now?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Jonathan, though let's move over to the stadium. I'm sorry,
but one point? Was it three billion? Yeah, that's with
a B.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, well you know, Mike's got to have a nice
luxury office.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Now, three hundred stacks of a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
You know, I, as I tell people, I said, think
about this, that's the budget for the county.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
The entire budget for the entire county for a full
calendar year.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So for one project, for one company that they make,
that company makes money. Let's remember the NFL does revenue
sharing unlike the Major League Baseball, So that means if
you watch a San Diego game, the Bengals make money. Right,
So not that San Diego is playing the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
The Browns family is not standing at the free store.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
So the reality is that I tell people, think about this.
You take you go home to your wife and you say, honey,
we're going to spend the entire year's budget of everything
we make on one project. How do you think that
conversation is going to go with your wife?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Well, particularly if the project is really what I would
argue completely unnecessary question. Does the stadium currently function? Yes?
Can you watch a football game there? Yes? Does it
have all the amenities of every other stadium in the country. No,
but you know what, it never did. And how can
you continue to compete with other cities when they keep
(29:49):
adding on? Is it a necessary thing to try to
compete with a city that's even close to us? Why
would you? I mean, Lord Almighty. I look at like
certain high school projects and what they've done at colleges,
and they expanded to make it like a resort spot. Yeah.
I didn't have any of that growing up. I went
to school and I had classes in a trailer for
(30:10):
God's sake, because they ran out of space, a du
high junior high. You know, we didn't have air conditioning
back in the old days. We had crappy locker rooms.
And you know, I'm sure the Bengals if they had,
all they need is a locker to put their stuff
in to change clothes and get out there on the field.
Do they need a discothech locker room? Of course not,
but there it is anyway. Well, I just I don't
(30:32):
get it.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I come from we homeschooled our girls, so I homeschooled
my girls at home, and I use that example because
all the new schools have to have these billion dollar
schools they have to have all the newest stuff, the
whiteboards and everything. Well, my kids went to college being homeschooled,
and somehow we lived on the premise that if you
(30:53):
have four walls and a door, you can have a classroom. Well,
the same simplicity. In my This isn't a hatred towards
the Bengals, but here I'll use the PNG as an example.
PNG brings in more money than the Bengals because they
don't play just ten times a year in this stadium.
They play every day downtown and they have never been
(31:14):
given one brick by the county. Now I'm not saying that, gee,
we need to kick them out. What I'm saying is
is this really the best use of our money? And
I know a lot of people say we shouldn't ask
that question because it's our beloved Bengals. I think that's
been the problem in politics, is we get all caught
with the shiny ring on the wall and we keep
running around the carousel trying to grab it, and we
(31:35):
forget to actually say, why are we trying to grab
the brass ring? And I'm starting to question that why
what's you know? Because LA goes out and spends five
and a half billion dollars to dig a hole next
to their airport so they can put a stadium in
the ground and hide it so the planes you don't
notice the plane's flying over it, and everyone goes, we'll
(31:55):
see they're spent five and as that's LA. I don't care
what they do in LA. I don't care what they
do in California. I care what we do in Hamilton County,
and Hamilton County does not have that kind of money
to throw at one company that had the wherewithal in
money to buy out in cash the other half of
the Bengals from Paul Sawyer. We forget that there was
a lot of cash on the table that he actually
(32:16):
bought the team outright. God blessed the Brown family for
only Bengals. I have no issues with that whatsoever. And
I actually don't even have an issue that the Brown
family asked for us to do this, because you might
as well ask what you know. It's like all of
us who are married.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Remember though, Jonathan, the ask came along with either an
out loud or at least implicit threat that if you
don't get me what I want, I'm taking my team elsewhere.
And that's not loyalty to me, And that's.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Not loyalty to me and mine is that when again
back to P ANDNG, P and G wanted to put
bricks in Broadway in front of their on Broadway, in
front of their towers, and they offered to buy all
the bricks, all the materials for the city, and the
city said, we're not putting them down. We're just not.
We pave it or we don't, that's it. And PNG said, fine,
(33:06):
we'll do it. And the PNG paid out of their
pocket to do a public street project. Well, let me
think about which company has more in tune to saying
I'm serving. They didn't threaten to leave. Oh, you're not
giving me anything, so I'm gonna leave. We're going to
go move to some other We're gonna move to Mexico City. Well,
I think Mexico City. I never even understood that. Has
(33:29):
anybody actually mentioned the odds of Americans being kidnapped or
held for ransom? Let me think, let's put a millionaire
family from America in Mexico City and see how safe
without having a ridiculous security team to keep around them.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Well, they are trying to expand the market share around
the Globe. Maybe they should have said the you know,
Xingyang province in China.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Is so POSI I don't know. I just my whole
thing is, you know, let's rethink this and actually asked
the question without the fear, and you know, they've got
to back down the rhetoric from their side. We have
to actually up our ability to actually look at this
with open eyes, full transparency and say what's the real
goal here.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Adam Kaylor suggested, we need to get a cooperative a
group of a whole group of people who are willing
to put some money in to act as a potential
buyer of the team, which I believe them some roadbox
in the way of the Brown family threatening to leave.
If there's another possible buyer, then apparently, somehow under the rules,
that can't be done. I don't profess the note, Jack,

And today it's not a bad guy, it's a bad girl.
She looks harmless. Officer Lisa Baker from the SINCEAA Police Department.
Look at that innocent little face, not so.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
It be deceiving, No deceiving. We are looking for Nakasha Greer.
She's been indicted on three counts of felony death and
for tell communications fraud. Nakeisha Greer. She's a black female.
She's twenty seven years old. She's five foot two, one
hundred and sixty five pounds. Prior rest history includes drug

gonna do if we know where we might how where
she might be or a tip that might lead to
an arrest.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
You can check a monk shout out on my bloy
page fifty five Cassey dot com. You remain anonymous, you'll
be eligible for a cash reward. Officer Baker, God bless
you in the Sinsint Police Department. Keep up the great
work and I have a wonderful weekend. All right, Jonathan,
I'll give you the remaining couple of minutes we got here.
Anything else you want to get out, I didn't if
I didn't steer you in the right direction or get
on a topic you want to talk about. Well, I
think the easiest.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
You know, the whole reason I look at what we
can do in the county is, you know, look at
this budget. See what we're wasting money on. See we're
not wasting money on. See what we need to be
spending more prioritized. But since we can't affect the taxes
directly in the commission office, we can affect the budget
and then do the bully pulpit and talk about the
taxes because once other businesses know that we're serious about
(38:19):
a good budget in this county, they might be attracted. Well,
there's a thought, let's bring businesses back. Guess what those
businesses bring with them jobs, So back to the we
can help demand fish forever. We also then get other companies.
Look into that company that come in, they come in.
These are residents now that start coming in. And suddenly,
now our tax base is expanded to numbers. We can
(38:42):
have a lower tax base. But actually make more money
for the county and the surrounding communities within the county,
and we don't need to keep raising taxes or have
these ridiculously false evaluations of homes.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Well, if we had appropriately prioritized over the years and
focused on the core that brings people in, which is
in for structure and safety, infrastructure and safety. If you
have a safe community with a good infrastructure, roads you
can drive on, and not the multitude of potholes, et cetera,
the seemingly absolute dysfunction on that that that creates an
(39:13):
opportunity for people to consider and say, you know what,
maybe I will be paying a little bit more taxes
in Mirmlton County compared to Claremont, But look at all
that I'm going to get in return for that. I
have solid roads, I have safe communities in Hamilton County.
I'd rather have that.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Then we have a good opportunity with Melissa Powers and
Jim Neil, we have an excellent opportunity to make exactly
that first point to safe community with those two two candidates.
They are an excellent people.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
And if you are an elected commissioner, along with Adam Kayler,
maybe a more thoughtful budget process one that focuses on priorities.
Seven to fifty five. Jonathan, You're always welcome here. Good
luck in the race. I know we're fast approaching election day,
but again Jonathan Pearson. Find him on the Hamilton Kindyrepublican

Seven oh six, I think about HAIRCB Talk station. Brian
Thomas wishing everyone. I'm very happy Friday. I love my Fridays,
and I love talking to folks, and I love particularly
when folks I'm talking to are in studio. And thank
you Jonathan Pearson, running for Hamilton County Commissioner, for joining
me in studio to talk politics for a while here. Jonathan, good,
have you Ron? Good?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Thank you Ryan. I appreciate it. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Uh nothing really to talk about in the world of politics,
is there.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
No, it's a slow.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
World and it's uh, you know it. May you live
in interesting times. These are such boring times, it is, Jonathan.
The first thing I said to you when you came
in the studio was like, commissioner race has really really,
really been very low key. It's sort of like it's
just off in the distance someplace they haven't known. There's
no racous debates and no finger pointing and no you know,
(00:58):
prominent you know, display of alternative viewpoints why you should
vote for me and why you shouldn't vote for her,
that kind of stuff. Not a lot of reporting on
the commissioner's race either, any I mean, are you in
agreement with me?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
On that jam.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Since you're the candidate, I mean, you would know better
than anybody else.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's been very interesting because people I've spent more time
explaining what the Commission does, right, because most people stare
at me, go what is it? So what? I always
my tagline is it's the most boring important job in
the county. Oh, that's a wonderful way of putting it.
Because we deal with a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
It is the largest chunk of which is the Sheriff's department.
Of course we're all pulling for Sheriff Jim Neil or
Jim Neil former sheriff. I think he's the best qualified
for the job. And I don't recall anytime that Jim
Neil had his firearms stolen from his vehicle.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
No, don't. I don't think Jim would be the type
to leave it in his car either.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Right, Yeah, and even can you remember the lock your
junk in your trunk campaign to avoid smashing grabs? Yeah? Yeah,
Physician heeled iself just nexter plugging there for Jim Neil
because I really supported he's a good guy. And of
course Hamilton County prosecuted Melissa Power is so important to
keep her for Oh, extremely, she's tough on crimes.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
She's the last She's literally the last one in America
that a major city for Republican.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh, that is so disheartening.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It is because of the fact that the average Republican
thinks of their community as a safe, vibrant place to
walk around and do what they want to do. And
let's just think of these cities that we start talking about.
Just name one, Detroit, Cleveland, you know, let's be local Indianapolis,
and you say, well, there's not a high crime in there.
The FBI just secretly snuck in the new crime status.
(02:42):
I saw that and uh huh shocker. They went up
sixty five percent under Biden. Gee, I'm stunned.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, yeah, and it's interesting. You know, honestly, I'm surprised
that data came out before the election, correcting the record
in advance.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, they corrected it actually in September. That's how quiet
they did it. We didn't even know that, and it
was found by accident, by I think it was of
all things like USA today, it's hard to wish. You
would have never figured they would bring it forward.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Not exactly your conservative leaning newspaper. Is that Jonathan Well
let's talk about your qualifications. You're running for Hamilton County Commissioner.
Clearly you understand the job, since you're going around and
explaining it a lot to folks. But by way of
background and what qualifies you to the extendingbody really needs
to be qualified for public office anymore. Quite often, like
(03:32):
for example, in the prosecutors race, some are not qualified that.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, I'm stunned. But the Democrats were willing to put
up somebody who is nothing but a perennial runner.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I mean, honestly, she runs for everything but qualified for nothing.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And it's I think their belief, and I think it's
a well founded belief, at least if you're a betting
man that Hamilton County is blue. Now, so if you
can just really run anyone with a D after their name,
they're going to win.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah. I would like to think, for you know that
the D in this case would stand at least for
demonstrating some talent. But I can't say that of that
particular person. You don't want to put her name on
the record. Do you want to remind my listeners who
you're running against, because Adam Kaylor also has an opponent? Yeah,
you know, We're running against three House and Reese for
(04:22):
the Commissioner's office. And the reality is that I wanted
to run because there's a lot of money that we're
talking about. I mean, I don't think people understand how
much money that the commissioners deal with. One point three
billion dollars and you know, deals with all the moneies
that come in from property taxes and from the sales tax.
It doesn't go to the city. The rest is going
through the county and we deal with that, and those
(04:43):
go to the various projects that you are go around,
and the most notable to everybody as a sewer system
and the mngals Stadium and the convention Center. Well those
are monstrously large ticket items and I don't think people
realize what that means to their day to day life
in this little or we call Hamlet County. And my
whole goal was simple, let's go in and just as
(05:06):
I say, am I thing well studied budget. Everybody wants
to have these fancies terms a balance structured budget, which
is just a lie. It's we've managed to fool you
so you're stupid enough to not look. That's their hope.
The reality is well studied budget is where you go
line by line by line and you just start picking
that thing apart and you look at it and say,
do we really need one hundred million for all of
(05:27):
these things? Do we need this job to be five
million can be done at three, This job for five
may need actually seven million, And then we start getting
this So when we go to things like the sheriff's office,
which is extremely important and one of the largest things
we fund, we actually have the money. We can look
at a good sheriff neal and say, hey, what do
you really need the money for? And you know, do
(05:47):
you need more for more deputies? Do you need this?
Because right now the sheriff's offices is funded ridiculously well
for the people that are there, and they're losing.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
People are down.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
They'll she'll say that there's plenty of people in there
because their HR department said, no, actually it's going up. Well,
as I mentioned in one interview, sure it's going up.
Because when you're in a hole, there's only one way out,
you know, So when that many people walk away and
you hire one more person, well you've got you know,
you're really on the move now. And the challenge that
we're facing and all of that is why are they leaving. See,
(06:21):
when we work politics from identity as opposed to talent,
it stops at the door because once I see you
at the door, I know what you are. Whether you
want to say that you're you're gay, or you're black,
or you're white, or you're jew or whatever, all of
that becomes pointless when you sit down at the table
to do the job. And so now it's may.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
On behalf of every resident of the county. Yeah, and
we're made up of a real wild mix of folks
here in Hamilton County.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
That's the beauty at this county. I know, man, I know,
I think that's the beauty of this county because when
I was I grew up in Springfield, Ohio. There's a
nice city to nothing going on there, you know. So,
but it was interesting because in my background I went
to school in an inner city Catholic school. And it
was inner city in every way except where it was Catholic.
(07:09):
But everything you expect to happen inner city school. I
mean we had to step over drunks and drug addicts
to get into the building. Okay, sometimes I have to
call sister and sister so and so is drunk and
he's blocking the door and we can't open it. I mean,
that was my school. And when I moved to Cincinnati,
I was stunned to meet people that didn't go to
school with black people. I didn't know that that was
(07:30):
even possible. So to come down to a community that
got that started to be more leaning towards an identity
as opposed to a community was a little strange to me.
And so I really got more involved in community itself.
And I love this county. You know, I live in Fairfax.
I love our little burg. It's very interesting little burg.
In regards that I always joke and somebody said, weren't
(07:52):
you concerned about the riots. I said, no, they'd discover
that we believe in the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, you don't see me riots in either.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Now the Fairfax is not going to have a ride
anytime soon, just because of the reality. We firmly believe
in the Second Amendment. But the reality is that, you know,
I looked at it more from the community standpoint and
everything that I got involved in, I never worried about
somebody's identity other than they identified as being part of
the group. And I think that's true when we look
(08:23):
at the Commission's office. We look at it from the
budget standpoint. We're not trying to pigeonhole something to one thing.
You know, right now, they keep throwing money at this
and say, see, we're giving money to help this person.
We're giving me money to help this person, this group.
Why aren't we helping somebody to actually stand up on
their own two legs and move forward. This is the
infamous Give a man a fish, feed him for a day,
(08:43):
teach him how to fish, feed him for a lifetime,
and he becomes one of those community leaders. Well, that's
what our challenges in the county. People are tired of
being given fish, so they're leaving. It's the same thing
we're seeing at the Sheriff's department, and we've got to
get people to be part of this community and get
(09:04):
away from the identity of look at my individual You
have to recognize my personal individual identity as opposed to
a Hamiltonian County resident.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, I'm in favor of merit. You know, the whole
concept of equity is you don't have someone of a
particular gender in the mix. Well, if there is someone
of a particular gender out there who is both best
qualified for the job. Get that person out here and
have them run for the race.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I mean that's the point. Color of skin doesn't matter.
It's content of character in this particular case, merit and
ability to handle the affairs of Hamilton County on behalf
of all Hamilton County residents. Simple concept. Yeah, that's it.
We'll continue with Jonathan Peterson. Will take quick break care

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Six twenty or seven twenty rather come up in seven
twenty one to THIK five Kerce. He talks Stasian Brian
Thomas enjoying my in studio conversation with Jonathan Pearson, who's
running for kind of commissioner, saying wise, rational thinking human being.
Amazing that someone like that is trying to enter politics
doesn't care about identity politics because he knows it doesn't
matter a whit at all. What are you gonna do
(12:22):
for the county? He related a story to me he
met some guy who introduced himself as a gay man.
He's like, I'm straight, and the guy got a little
bit offended, and you had an interesting back and forth
with that, ultimately proving to the guy it does not matter.
Now you haven't even told me your name yet. You
said to the guy like, oh mo, name's Bill, and
you shake his hand and it's like taking aback. And
(12:44):
you know there aren't enough people like you to kindly,
not angrily, or just point something like that in a
very friendly, subtle way. Oh I'm straight?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, Well what does that matter? Exactly?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
That was your opponem so and Yhow we do have
one politician running for re election in the county that
really starts every conversation with I'm a lesbian. Does it matter?
Are you doing the job effectively?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And you are?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Are you a good manager of people? Are your people
happy to be in your environment working with you? And
I think across the board pretty much. The answer is no.
In certain departments. Beyond that, Jonathan, you mentioned the sewer system,
we're still onder that federal consent to CREE. Correct. Yeah,
(13:30):
let's talk about that a little bit, because I know
it is what multi billion dollar project. Some projects like
this deep tunnel they wanted to build were so dumb
and so outrageously expensive. We've been able to pair that
back a little bit. But where's what's the status of
this and what would Jonathan Pearson be doing relative to
the sewer system.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Well, the one thing that fascinates me about the sewer
system is I do a lot of maintenance for people,
So I clean out sewers, I'll do whatever, you know,
and I take care of things. So I'm used to
doing stuff that nobody sees. You know, your Pierson landscape
and my Peerson's landscape, and so what I see because
I actually do maintenance within that company too, and so
I do a lot of stuff that once it's all
(14:10):
covered up, nobody saw what I did. And that's exactly
what the sewer system is. So nobody's seeing it. So
it's not like seeing the stadium redone, or a new
convention center or an addition to the convention center. Yet
it affects every one of us. It affects every one
of us in an enormous way because flush your toilet
there you go, you just use the sewer system. Well,
(14:32):
the challenge is who's actually checking to make sure that
we're doing these things. If you go down to Fairmont.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And these things would be the solution the problems that
are designed to fix the overflows.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And part of it was the rain sewer. The rain
water and the regular sewer were mixed, and you know,
and we have a like we did that just the
other day. We had that massive water come through. And
you mix that with your regular sewer, your sewers can't
handle that. And for some people in certain neighborhoods they
discover over that painfully. And you know, and you're not
(15:03):
being backed up with nice clean water either. And for
the longest time, the metro sewer's way of repairing that
was here, here's a thousand bucks, get somebody to clean
it up. And you know, it's still that went into
your basement. Let's just think about that for a second.
I know you like my dog pooping in the house,
so why would I want yours in my house? Yeah,
and so the same thing. But I but this is
(15:25):
where the FED stepped in and said, hey, you can't.
That's not a fix, that's not even a solution, and
so they said you have to do this. Well, this
is the ready shoot aim mentality that we did with
the stadium. We're doing with too many things, or did
it with this and metro sewer the same thing got
tagged across the river at st One there. That's their
(15:47):
comparable system, and so they have to segregate all these systems. Well,
that's easier said than done when you've got a lot
of buildings sitting on top of the sewer systems, because
it's not just as simple as digging up the street
and putting in a new pie. There are buildings in
the way, there are streets in the way, there's infrastructure
in the way. And Fairmont, as I mentioned before, if
you use that as a great example, you go down
(16:09):
there and is this nice little running creek for the
mill creek and stuff. Well it might be nice, But
to the residents that lost their homes, and businesses that
lost their businesses, and the parking lots that are all missing,
that's the effect of what happens when we start sticking
homes all over the place without thinking of how to
get rid of the water and waste.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well, and I suppose, you know, somebody made the decision
that those homes weren't worth saving, and that this project,
this greener way of you know, filtering out the water
and creating this nice park in an area that really
was rather run down. I don't think any you can
acknowledge that it was.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It had its challenges, but you know, a challenge doesn't
mean that isn't somebody's home. And I think sometimes we
forget that part, and that's there are other ways to
manage to the water without destroying whole neighborhoods. But when
you start getting into the green movement and you want
to put the green movement in something that even though
it's practical draining off storm water, you don't need to
(17:08):
have a big, old, super wide creek with the park
sitting to the side. When you just took away Granny's home.
At a certain point, where does green stop?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
You know?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I always say that, people say, well, yeah, but you know,
with all this urban sprawl and all these different things,
and then within the city we've got of this. I
always laugh and I say, I blame it on God.
He's the first one to make people have to move.
He kicked him out of the garden. So you know,
if we get over worried about having to build a
new home and different things going on, that's just part
of the human progress, you know, So don't be panicked
(17:41):
by it. But we'll incorporate, you know, what we're doing
within that. And you know, I think that that's the
great challenge that we're facing right now with the sewer
project is people don't want it to happen in their neighborhood.
So let's go down to this neighborhood and we'll make
it green down here. Because I guarantee you that sewer
project that that kind of a cut wouldn't occurred in
the middle of Hyde Park.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
They also don't get a whole lot of Section eight
housing being.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So well, the connected community is trying to change that. Oh,
I know, let's pause, is are out of time. We
got a lot more to talk about it, including the
stadium deal. More with Jonathan Pierce, So you can find

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Seven thirty one year, fifty five KERR City Talk Station,
Brian Thomas with a race for County Commissioner that's running
way low under Reverdy's radar. That I have one of
the candidates in studio here endorsed by the Hamilton County
Republican Party, Jonathan Pearson. You are endorsed by the Republican Party.
You're on the right site.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yes, I am. I am endorsed. No, it's official.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Take it for granted. No, he's right there. You can
find out where he is on the various issues. Of course,
his background and he's got some you know, business experience.
He is the owner operator Pearson's Turfin Landscape. We were
talking about that. I've been doing that since nineteen ninety
two and moving away. So we talked about the sewer
and before we move away from the sewer. Just generally speaking,
(21:10):
that's one of the areas where I know we have
a consent degree. I know there have been some really
big arguments about certain projects, like, for example, I mentioned
the deep tunnel thing, which I think got nixed because
of the outcry and the seemingly stupid, stupid nature.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
It's not that simple to dig a tunnel. No it
is not. People think you just for a hole through.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
No, no, it's not that simple.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So are you aware of does anybody know what other
projects are already baked into the cake? Right now? We're
going to see more projects like you mentioned in Fairmont?
Is there a better way to do it?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
To the details, I don't actually know all the firm
details of them. That's one of the things I'd like
to sit down with and actually see the actual plan
as to where things are.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Because going back to your initial comment, we started stage
by page reviews.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Just go through it and then the biggest thing is
if you can keep the actual plan on task and
those who are in the supervisory rules of running it,
you know, daily reports, not this we'll sit down every
two weeks because I think if you hold it to
a daily event, because the county runs daily. Yeah, I
mean there's a shocker to some people, it actually runs daily.
(22:19):
And if you look keep that on task and then
go to the subcontractors and actually know who they are
and you know, are they capable or was it again
a you know, a yeah, you know, we get into
and these are examples of these projects. We do it.
We want to do it for the stadium, want to
do it for the convention center. We get so caught
up and making sure that we do inclusion that it
(22:40):
didn't occur to us. Can they do it? They going
back and is it equity or is it competentcy? And
a lot of people say, oh, you're anti inclusion. No,
I'm for who's ever the best guy walked up and
said I can do that job if his company is
all whatever, I don't care, don't I don't care if
(23:00):
it's they're waving their flag of look at me where
the Jewish gay group? Fine, I don't care. Can you
do the job? Can you fix it? And so again,
the identity stops at the door once you go through
and you have to actually do the job. Can you?
And I think that that's one of the challenges we face.
(23:21):
We get so caught up spending all this time making
sure we get all that taken care of. These projects
get waylaid because between the community here and between the
state and between the Feds. They all say you have
to have ex percentage of this, ex percentage of that,
ex percentage of this without occurring that if we haven't
helped these particular groups, like we got rid of vocational schools.
(23:45):
Here there's a thought, Hey, let's help people that don't
have a desire to go to college to actually have
a vocation. Huh, how naive? My brother went through a
vocational school. He was a mechanic, he was phenomenal. You
know what, if you'd have kept him in a four
year high school.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
He'd never have achieved. No. Yeah, it's collegeing for us.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I had a lot of friends went through vocational schools,
God bless them, and there was a great thing. And
now we're kind of like, well, yes, but little Johnny,
little Susie's got to get that college degree so she
can go out and be you know, she can get
that great degree in political science and do what. Well,
guess what. I didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I didn't make fun of that degree. That's the one
I got, but I knew I was going to go.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I didn't go to I'm running for an office. And
I didn't get a political science degree because you don't.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Need one trust you don't got one, And no you
don't if you're a fan of politics like I was,
and you want to get a degree in your hobby
like I did.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
But I knew I was going to go to law school.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
See, I didn't expect my political science degree to be
the source of revenue down the road. I expected my
law degree would serve me well, and it did obviously
shifted directions. But you know, there is a demand in
certain areas for lawyers, but there's not just for political
science degrees.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But that's that's my whole thing. And we get so
caught into this that we're so worried about identity that
we forgot of helping somebody actually make a living back
to teach a man to fish. Yes, and so that's
been what's slowing many of these projects up.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well, and the exclamation point on slowing these things up
is obviously, the more you kick the can down the
road chasing what butterflies or whatever, the more expensive the
project gets. Inflation is a topic of conversation of late
and yes, it does impact construction more with Jonathan, just
give me a second here, because I'm going to steer
you in the right direction by telling you to go
(25:34):
to Foreign Exchange get your imported car fixed. Austin is
the man, and he's got a great team of AC
certified Master technicians at that Westchester location, which is the
one I've always gone to. Outstanding service, family like environment
and fixing your car with a full warranty on parts
and service and not costing nearly as much as the dealer.
Saved all kinds of money taking the cars to Foreign Exchange,
(25:55):
So you should do the same thing because they do
have access to your manufacturers technical information. Brian, you don't
even know what kind of car I drive. I know
I've seen really exotic cars in there and have also well,
my Honda. I've been self deprecating that Honda looks terrible.
It's got one hundred and fifty thousand plus miles on it,
but it still runs great thanks to Foreign Exchange. No
(26:15):
need to get rid of it. Just keep it running
and think about winter time. Get your car wintererise, have
them check the battery, the tires, the fluid levels. Don't
get stuck in the frozen tundra parking lot because you
didn't have the battery checked out. They can do that
for you. Also, make sure you know you have brakes,
are in good shape. You know what it is. Just
get ready for winter. You can do that at Foreign
Exchange Foreign the letter X dot com is where you
(26:36):
find them online. Tylersville exit off seventy five. If you

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Seven fifty five KRCD talk station Brian Time is spending
an entire hour in studio with Jonathan Pearson, running for
Hampton County Commission, endorsed by the Republican Party. And I
thought a very thoughtful man. I guess you were getting
the impressed you've been listening to Jonathan speaker with the
you know, being thoughtful by going through the various documents
page by page, looking at more thoughtful solutions, say for
the sewer project, maybe ignoring and avoiding the stupidity of
(28:11):
woke politics and let's just cut to the chase and
hire bottom line competent, capable people to do the job.
And that's a great idea. What interesting concept that content
of character, not color of skin or who you sleep with.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Can you do the job now?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Jonathan, though let's move over to the stadium. I'm sorry,
but one point? Was it three billion? Yeah, that's with
a B.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, well you know, Mike's got to have a nice
luxury office.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Now, three hundred stacks of a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
You know, I, as I tell people, I said, think
about this, that's the budget for the county.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
The entire budget for the entire county for a full
calendar year.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
So for one project, for one company that they make,
that company makes money. Let's remember the NFL does revenue
sharing unlike the Major League Baseball, So that means if
you watch a San Diego game, the Bengals make money. Right,
So not that San Diego is playing the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
The Browns family is not standing at the free store.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
So the reality is that I tell people, think about this.
You take you go home to your wife and you say, honey,
we're going to spend the entire year's budget of everything
we make on one project. How do you think that
conversation is going to go with your wife?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Well, particularly if the project is really what I would
argue completely unnecessary question. Does the stadium currently function? Yes?
Can you watch a football game there? Yes? Does it
have all the amenities of every other stadium in the country. No,
but you know what, it never did. And how can
you continue to compete with other cities when they keep
(29:49):
adding on? Is it a necessary thing to try to
compete with a city that's even close to us? Why
would you? I mean, Lord Almighty. I look at like
certain high school projects and what they've done at colleges,
and they expanded to make it like a resort spot. Yeah.
I didn't have any of that growing up. I went
to school and I had classes in a trailer for
(30:10):
God's sake, because they ran out of space, a du
high junior high. You know, we didn't have air conditioning
back in the old days. We had crappy locker rooms.
And you know, I'm sure the Bengals if they had,
all they need is a locker to put their stuff
in to change clothes and get out there on the field.
Do they need a discothech locker room? Of course not,
but there it is anyway. Well, I just I don't
(30:32):
get it.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I come from we homeschooled our girls, so I homeschooled
my girls at home, and I use that example because
all the new schools have to have these billion dollar
schools they have to have all the newest stuff, the
whiteboards and everything. Well, my kids went to college being homeschooled,
and somehow we lived on the premise that if you
(30:53):
have four walls and a door, you can have a classroom. Well,
the same simplicity. In my This isn't a hatred towards
the Bengals, but here I'll use the PNG as an example.
PNG brings in more money than the Bengals because they
don't play just ten times a year in this stadium.
They play every day downtown and they have never been
(31:14):
given one brick by the county. Now I'm not saying that, gee,
we need to kick them out. What I'm saying is
is this really the best use of our money? And
I know a lot of people say we shouldn't ask
that question because it's our beloved Bengals. I think that's
been the problem in politics, is we get all caught
with the shiny ring on the wall and we keep
running around the carousel trying to grab it, and we
(31:35):
forget to actually say, why are we trying to grab
the brass ring? And I'm starting to question that why
what's you know? Because LA goes out and spends five
and a half billion dollars to dig a hole next
to their airport so they can put a stadium in
the ground and hide it so the planes you don't
notice the plane's flying over it, and everyone goes, we'll
(31:55):
see they're spent five and as that's LA. I don't care
what they do in LA. I don't care what they
do in California. I care what we do in Hamilton County,
and Hamilton County does not have that kind of money
to throw at one company that had the wherewithal in
money to buy out in cash the other half of
the Bengals from Paul Sawyer. We forget that there was
a lot of cash on the table that he actually
(32:16):
bought the team outright. God blessed the Brown family for
only Bengals. I have no issues with that whatsoever. And
I actually don't even have an issue that the Brown
family asked for us to do this, because you might
as well ask what you know. It's like all of
us who are married.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Remember though, Jonathan, the ask came along with either an
out loud or at least implicit threat that if you
don't get me what I want, I'm taking my team elsewhere.
And that's not loyalty to me, And that's.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Not loyalty to me and mine is that when again
back to P ANDNG, P and G wanted to put
bricks in Broadway in front of their on Broadway, in
front of their towers, and they offered to buy all
the bricks, all the materials for the city, and the
city said, we're not putting them down. We're just not.
We pave it or we don't, that's it. And PNG said, fine,
(33:06):
we'll do it. And the PNG paid out of their
pocket to do a public street project. Well, let me
think about which company has more in tune to saying
I'm serving. They didn't threaten to leave. Oh, you're not
giving me anything, so I'm gonna leave. We're going to
go move to some other We're gonna move to Mexico City. Well,
I think Mexico City. I never even understood that. Has
(33:29):
anybody actually mentioned the odds of Americans being kidnapped or
held for ransom? Let me think, let's put a millionaire
family from America in Mexico City and see how safe
without having a ridiculous security team to keep around them.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Well, they are trying to expand the market share around
the Globe. Maybe they should have said the you know,
Xingyang province in China.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Is so POSI I don't know. I just my whole
thing is, you know, let's rethink this and actually asked
the question without the fear, and you know, they've got
to back down the rhetoric from their side. We have
to actually up our ability to actually look at this
with open eyes, full transparency and say what's the real
goal here.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Adam Kaylor suggested, we need to get a cooperative a
group of a whole group of people who are willing
to put some money in to act as a potential
buyer of the team, which I believe them some roadbox
in the way of the Brown family threatening to leave.
If there's another possible buyer, then apparently, somehow under the rules,
that can't be done. I don't profess the note, Jack,

statement here in a moment, the first let us catch
ourselves a crime stuff or a bad guy of the week,
And today it's not a bad guy, it's a bad girl.
She looks harmless. Officer Lisa Baker from the SINCEAA Police Department.
Look at that innocent little face, not so.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
It be deceiving, No deceiving. We are looking for Nakasha Greer.
She's been indicted on three counts of felony death and
for tell communications fraud. Nakeisha Greer. She's a black female.
She's twenty seven years old. She's five foot two, one
hundred and sixty five pounds. Prior rest history includes drug

Speaker 1 (37:36):

page fifty five Cassey dot com. You remain anonymous, you'll
be eligible for a cash reward. Officer Baker, God bless
you in the Sinsint Police Department. Keep up the great
work and I have a wonderful weekend. All right, Jonathan,
I'll give you the remaining couple of minutes we got here.
Anything else you want to get out, I didn't if
I didn't steer you in the right direction or get
on a topic you want to talk about. Well, I
think the easiest.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
You know, the whole reason I look at what we
can do in the county is, you know, look at
this budget. See what we're wasting money on. See we're
not wasting money on. See what we need to be
spending more prioritized. But since we can't affect the taxes
directly in the commission office, we can affect the budget
and then do the bully pulpit and talk about the
taxes because once other businesses know that we're serious about
(38:19):
a good budget in this county, they might be attracted. Well,
there's a thought, let's bring businesses back. Guess what those
businesses bring with them jobs, So back to the we
can help demand fish forever. We also then get other companies.
Look into that company that come in, they come in.
These are residents now that start coming in. And suddenly,
now our tax base is expanded to numbers. We can
(38:42):
have a lower tax base. But actually make more money
for the county and the surrounding communities within the county,
and we don't need to keep raising taxes or have
these ridiculously false evaluations of homes.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Well, if we had appropriately prioritized over the years and
focused on the core that brings people in, which is
in for structure and safety, infrastructure and safety. If you
have a safe community with a good infrastructure, roads you
can drive on, and not the multitude of potholes, et cetera,
the seemingly absolute dysfunction on that that that creates an
(39:13):
opportunity for people to consider and say, you know what,
maybe I will be paying a little bit more taxes
in Mirmlton County compared to Claremont, But look at all
that I'm going to get in return for that. I
have solid roads, I have safe communities in Hamilton County.
I'd rather have that.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Then we have a good opportunity with Melissa Powers and
Jim Neil, we have an excellent opportunity to make exactly
that first point to safe community with those two two candidates.
They are an excellent people.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
And if you are an elected commissioner, along with Adam Kayler,
maybe a more thoughtful budget process one that focuses on priorities.
Seven to fifty five. Jonathan, You're always welcome here. Good
luck in the race. I know we're fast approaching election day,
but again Jonathan Pearson. Find him on the Hamilton Kindyrepublican
