Speaker 2 (00:16):
Seven five.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I think you have karosebe talk station. It's Friday and
a woo for Friday generally speaking. Add an extra woohoo
because you get to talk with Orlando's sons. Welcome back
to Orlando Sons. I really appreciate you coming on the
program to day to give us an update about what's
been going on since the election.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Brian, how are you great to always be on with you.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm doing great. And how the wife and kids start
with the most important thing in your life.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
They are fantastic. Look, we are headed into the springtime,
which hopefully we're clear of the Cincinnati flux of weather.
But wife and kids are doing great.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's since today weather is bipolar. There's no question about it.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
So glad you Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Well, well and there you go. We can go back
to the race against Greg Landsman. And one of the
most disappointing things in the November election for me was
that Greg Landsman prevailed. I just could not believe that
you are such a superior person. Your background, your quality
of your character, your service to our country, your experience.
I thought you would have brought so much of that seat.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
And there we go.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
We got Greg Landsman, Gang of five landsman in the role,
and by all accounts he's keeping his head down and
not really doing anything.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, you know, like we always I think thought throughout
the race, right, Brian, is that we weren't going against
necessarily our opponent. We were going against the index, specifically
in Hamilton County, in the city. So but we put
it all out in the field. I could not have
been more proud of the work that the team put

(01:51):
in and all the volunteers.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
And all the support.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
But we keep up the fight. We keep up the
fight moving forward.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Well, and it hasn't taken the window out of your sales,
I hope are you still considering something down the road
by way of elected office.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Well, look, Brian, what I say is this is that
for the current moment, I'm fully committed to the great
work that we're doing at the Hamilton County Veteran Service Commission. Yeah,
what greater honor and mission to help support and serve
those who have served our country. And in Hamilton County
with over forty thousand veterans, third largest county in Ohio

(02:31):
with by veteran population, we're doing good work at the
present time.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I'm fully committed to it.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I'm glad to hear that. And what better person to
be in that role than you, who also probably served
your country. West Point graduate you were, and you know
your time in the service, I know is valuable to you,
and you learned a lot, so you have the knowledge
and experience for that role because you understand what it
is to have served your country, which is I think
it's a necessary element to take that job.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
I mean, that's what we're seeing right in our country
today is just this desperate need for a focus on
not just supporting those that have served, but for supporting
those that are currently serving. And so I believe I'm
just as much in the fight as as anyone else
that's looking to again, whether it's revitalizing our military or

(03:22):
just showing that we are a country that supports those
service men and women that have sacrificed so much. It
truly is an honor, not just for me, but for
my wife as well as you know, Brian. She served
her country proudly, and I think the future is bright
for our country with the way that our military is

(03:44):
again being prioritized.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Well, see another reason you're happy you went to West
Point because that's where you met her. As I met
my wife in law school. Right, the best part about
going to law school is I got her out of
the thing. I mean, I got a law agree and
I practice. But you know there are there are priorities, so.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
That and just like just like me, your wife also
outranks you.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I know, we have to keep it.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
That waymed to that. Well, see we get okay, you
and I both know you experience in Hamilton County's gone blue.
I mean, damn it. We lost the prosecutor's office to
Connie Pillach, who was out in front of TESLA protesting
to the DOJE efforts to get rid of the size
and scope of government. When she promised right after being
elected she's going to keep politics out of it. I
guess she forgot that pledge anyway. But no recognizing what's

(04:31):
going on. And I have seen a lot of polls.
Trump's popularity story is pretty high, and people are thoroughly
appalled and upset about what we are learning and how
and the revelations about where our hard earned taxpayers have
been spent. And I find it preposterous that the Democrats
are at their screaming, bloody murder trying to defend programs

(04:52):
like you know, circumcisions and Mozambique or whatever. I mean,
we have something that's completely out of control. These policies
and program are indefensible, and I have to imagine a
lot of the Democrat voters in Hamilton County probably feel
the same way. It's one of the reasons, you know,
Donald Trump on his pledges when he was running for
presidents to do exactly this made a lot of inroads
into the Black community, the Hispanic community. Obviously, immigration had

(05:15):
a large thing to do with that because it's impacting
the black and Hispanic communities also. So do you think
do you hold out any hope that we could write
the ship that is Hamilton County right now down the
road orlanda Well, I'll.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Say this is that this past election, Brian is it
was truly a turning point for our country where people
from all across communities, and you speak of you know,
just urban communities that have typically voted one way for decades,
really saw that this was the year where we needed

(05:49):
to write the ship.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
And specifically when it comes to.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Overbloated government, the fraud, waste, and abuse that we see
across the entire federal government. We're sick and tired of it,
And for those that are quote unquote upset with the
way that the president of the administration has been operating
in trying to cut down the fraud, waste, and abuse

(06:14):
in just his first month in office. This is what
he ran on to your point, Brian, he ran on
this campaign for two plus years. Everyone knew that that
was his mission. He was going to do what no
other president has done in the modern era, and that
was actually go in there into the belly of the

(06:35):
beast and cut whether it's deregulation or cut federal spending.
I mean the things that we uncovered with the millions
of dollars that have gone into programs. You mentioned some
of them, but I mean Sesame Street in Iraq, a
tune of twenty million dollars. You know, the waste it's created,

(06:55):
this federal government that people were sick and tired of,
that Americans were paying for, hard working tax payers were
paying for. So, you know, do I have sympathy for
those that don't necessarily like the way that he's operating.
The answer is no, because this is the way that

(07:15):
he was running on and for the millions of voters
that voted to elect him into office. We put him there,
the American people overwhelmingly put him there. And the thing
that I will say is allow the president to do
his job to literally enact the policies that he ran on.
That Brian is democracy, indeed is a threat to democracy,

(07:39):
you know, is these unelected career bureaucrats that hide behind
civil servant status thinking that they answer to no one
and are completely unchecked. It's not the way that our
founding fathers intended. What they intended was that one person
would run to get all the votes, hopefully majority of

(08:00):
the votes across America. They would run on platforms, they'd
be able to be elected as president of the United States,
choose the people by advice and consent of the Senate
to carry out the mission. And that's exactly what we're seeing.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Now, Yes we are, and it's refreshing alternative from other
prior presidents, including Clinton, Obama, and Biden, who also promised
to get rid of fraud, waste abuse in government. They're
on tape, they're on record, there's YouTube videos out there
with all their comments along the same lines. They promised
to do the same thing, yet they didn't deliver. The

(08:33):
government just merely got bigger, and the regulatory environment just
got more difficult to deal with and navigate. And had
they delivered on the promises, I just kind of scratched
my head and kind of wonder theoretically if the Democrats
will be screaming and yelling about if their Democrat president
had engaged in these efforts.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Right right, I mean, at the end of the day. Again,
there's growing pains right now because it's one thing to
say it on the campaign, and it really doesn't matter
what party the presidential candidates running on. We've seen it
on both sides to your point, Brian. We've seen candidates
on both sides say that they would go in there

(09:11):
and they would cut waste, they would cut fraud abuse,
they would shrink the size of government. But no one's
actually done it to the extent that President Trump is
doing right now. He my gosh, he hit the one
month mark yesterday of being the forty seventh president the
United States, and the amount of money that we're already

(09:32):
uncovering that are being saved for the American people. It's
just astounding, and one the only surprise that people should
have is the speed at which he's doing it and
the people that he has tapped to lead. These government
agencies are committed to the mission that they are there to, yes,

(09:54):
serve the best interests of the American people.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
But guess what.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
They are not there to make overbloated government bigger. They're
there to shrink the size of government. And here's the
word that you know has gotten a lot of flak
the last few weeks. Efficient, to make federal government more efficient.
The question that we should be asking is, for any
of these agencies, whether it's the DOJ, the FBI, energy Treasury,

(10:23):
can we operate with a more streamlined, efficient federal agency.
And if the answer is yes, then we should be
doing everything we can to.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Get there exactly. And you know, that's what Elon Musk
is really notably famous for. I mean, I talked to
an author of a book about Elon Musk and his
business practices. You know, he buys Twitter and immediately fires
like eighty percent of the employees. And yet there it
is as acts, it still runs, it still works, it
doesn't have the limitations on free speech, is a very

(10:53):
wildly popular platform that apparently didn't need all those extra
employees in the first place. That author also pointed out
that he instructed the folks at Tesla to start literally
removing every single component product in the cars until such
point that they wouldn't work anymore in order to increase efficiency,
weight and keep costs down. I mean, that's the point
of Elon Musk being efficiency and getting rid of, you know,

(11:16):
the unnecessary components.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
That's exactly right. And you know you mentioned layoffs. You know,
that's exactly what we would expect for a company that
is trying to be more efficient, it's trying to go
into cost saving mode. It's so that for the end user,
for the end customer, they deliver a better product, better
experience at a better price.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
For government, what should we expect.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Again, we should expect a federal government that is the size,
no bigger than it needs to be in order to
deliver the same efficient, productive service or product that the
American citizen should expect. And so for these lays you know,
again we cannot say, although some do that it's cruel

(12:06):
that we're seeing, you know, these overnight layoffs of thousands employees.
Number one, in his first couple of weeks, President Trump
offered a incredible, never heard of deal for federal employees
to essentially not go back to work and take an
amazing six plus months before they can early retire and

(12:31):
give them full benefit, full pay. I mean, that's unheard of.
If he really wanted to, he would have fired those
employees on January twentieth, but no, instead he offered a
great buyout. If you want to retire, you don't, you
don't want to stay while this ship is moving, then
by all means, you know, you can leave and we'll

(12:52):
offer you a great benefits package. For these employees have
been laid off in the last couple of weeks their
probationary employee, and these employees that have entered into the
federal workforce know that they are subject to a certain
amount of time as a probationary employee.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
That I don't know what the.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Majority of people expect when they hear the term probationary,
but working just in government in the past, is probationary
means that you could be removed at will at any
time you serve with the pleasure of the federal government
or the agency you work for, and if the federal
agency or the administration views that that is not the
most efficient means for federal government, then you could be layoff.

(13:40):
You knew that going in, and the question is that
can we operate again with greater efficiency with lower workforce.
It's not like we are leaving these people out to dry.
Think about, Brian, the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands
of jobs that are out there, whether it's in the
private sector or whether it's in state government that these

(14:02):
American hardworking, yes, hopefully hardworking American citizens now have to
find ulterior employment. But they're out there. You know, we
have an abundance of opportunity here. Just because they may
have worked in federal government for the last eighteen months
doesn't mean that there's nothing else that they can do.
Hopefully they picked themselves up by the bootstrapsy as we

(14:27):
would expect for every American. You get out there, you
do hard work, it's based on merit, and you go
ahead and continue to contribute to the economy and to
the way of life here in America.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Orlando Sanza, it's just such a pleasure hearing you and
you're insightful, logical and reasonable comments. I wish you all
the best, the best of health, love to you and
your family, and your continued success with the Hamilton County
Veteran Services. I can't thank you enough. Just my love
for the American veteran is well known to my listening audience,
and it's wonderful to know someone like is there helping

(15:01):
the veterans out of the Hamilton County Veterans Services Commissioned.
So we'll be on. We'll talk again. You got some
development you want to pass along to my listeners along
those lines, you always have an opportunity in a form
here on the fifty five KRC Morning Show.
