Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Five o five. If you about knr c D talk
station vacation, why are you doing that? Okay, starting off

(00:35):
on the right foot. There just Trekker cracking me up.
Bran Thomas right here, glad to be you. Hope you
have having a wonderful morning and if not, let it
improve during throughout the day and show up a listener
to lunch Barley Corns Wilder, Kentucky location should put a
smile on your face if you're reeling from the liberal
winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court race widely perceived as a
rebuke of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. So we'll get

(00:58):
to the details of that a little bit more wordally.
Cleveland Browns can maybe getting some stadium money. Anyhow, what's
coming up this morning?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
The rundown begins with guests on the program. I always
like to sort of focus on the guest being on
the program because rather listen to you or the guest
than the sound of my own voice. Be quite candid
with you, which means you can call and set the
stage for topic if you like. Five three, seven, four
nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred and eighty two to
three Talk bound FY fifty on at and t phones.
Always remember never forget fifty five caresee dot com get

(01:31):
all the information, Get the podcast. Daniel Davis Deep Dive
yesterday in spite of a technical glitch. Starting off the discussion,
we did get to tear from Daniel Davis on the
Russia situation. Ukraine Russia Inside Scoop with Bride Bart, News,
Kurtz and Dolco talking about the situation in France where
a judge has barred the leading candidate for five years

(01:54):
from running for political office. A bit of an uproar
over that, and actually criticism about that just vision from
both sides of the are multiple sides of the political ledger.
So and that Reason article that I glombed onto, actually
read part of it the day before yesterday, and they
were the whole thing yesterday. Were not short on power
and the insanity of this ridiculous cult of global warming.

(02:18):
It's just, you know, the fundamental takeaway I took from that.
You know, you got the Northeast. It relies on Canada
for its electricity. They've banned all kinds of energy production.
They closed the nuclear power plant, They refused to put
a pipeline in from the New England states, the Pennsylvania,
which would allow them access to Pennsylvania's abundant supply of

(02:39):
liquid natural gas. They did all that shut it down,
So they rely on power from Canada. Yeah, and yet
Canada produces carbon dioxide and so called global warming emissions,
but they don't have to count that in the state
because it's coming from outside the state. Yet the wind
blows and it would blow those carbon emissions right over

(03:00):
in New York, New Jersey. It just ah, it's all
made up. I don't make the rules. I just think
them up and write them down. Yeah, So like a
nineteen ninety nine regulation which said as long as the
the the the global warming emissions gas aren't coming out
of your state, you don't have to count them. So
you could claim to be zero emissions and yet get

(03:23):
one hundred percent of your power from a cold plant.
As long as this not operated inside your state, we win.
We didn't produce any emissions or okay, right whatever, it's
a scam, you know on PT Barnum's Wildest Dreams. Anyhow,
the article's right there, so I encourage you to read that.
Fifty five cares dot com get your heart media while

(03:45):
you're over there. So coming up seven o five. It
is Wednesday with the Big Picture with Jack Averton topic
Shakespeare's advice for Trump should be brilliant. Jack does a
wonderful job weaving history in with current events and of
course providing his wonderful and nuts. So seven oh five
with our dear friend Jack Adan and Americans for Prosperity Returns.

(04:05):
Donovan neil House built ninety six Sin Taxes and Education.
I made a comment about syntaxes the other day. Why
are there syntaxes? And by whose definition is something a sin?
There's an extra tax on alcohol? Why I understand the idea.

(04:27):
There was something about recent layoffs at Health and Human
Services or one of the things dough is going after
or j RFK Junior, and a lot of the layoffs
related to folks involved with tobacco regulation. And this is
one of the things I've I've always kind of questioned,
if it's so bad for you if tobacco came on

(04:48):
as a new product today and they sought FDA approval,
because I guess you'd have to get FDA approval since
you're putting a product on the market that people consume
and put in their own bodies. So decide whether or
not you think that's a good idea. It would never
get approved. Why, well, it's carcinogenic. All the studies have
shown that it does all kinds of damage to your body.
It's terrible for you. You can get nicotine without lighting up

(05:10):
a cigarette. We do have nicotine delivery systems in the
form of vap products. Now, whether or not those are
bad for you or worse for you, or maybe better
for you but still not good for you, I guess
remains to be seeing the jury's out on that. There's
still still doing studies on it, but regulating them they are,
and then taxing them they are. Why because it's a
new product. Why don't they just banned tobacco outright? It's

(05:35):
causing all kinds of problems. I was talking about this
the other day with a health system. It was that
Joe Rogan and Bernie Sanders sort of agreeing that maybe
there's some and I know is taken out of context
by Bernie Sanders, but fundamentally, if you believe in one
hundred percent health care and we all should be taking
care of each other, that you owe an obligation to
your neighbor and then to take better care of yourself
if you're going to get cancer because you smoke, and

(05:57):
your neighbor's going to pay for your health, your medical coverage,
then you are basically screwing over your neighbor by not
taking better care of yourself. Don't we owe each other
a mutual obligation to minimize medical costs? Yeah, well under
that system we do. But no, not of the current system.

(06:17):
You go ahead and abuse the hell out of yourself,
become morbidly obese, eat crappy food, get heart disease, smoke
eight packs of cigarettes a day, and then somebody else
will shoulder the burden for it. But in so far
as tobacco's concerned, they could just ban it. And you
have to ask yourself, why don't they, Well, it's because
people want to smoke. I don't know what percent of

(06:39):
the population still smokes, and it's moving down. It's dwindling education,
the available information out there. We all fundamentally understand it's
bad for you. More and more people are not smoking,
choosing not to take it up in the first instance,
and of course the idea that you want to take
better care of yourself, So they could just ban it

(07:00):
out right, but politicians don't. The FDA does not ban
it out right, they could, it's within their power. As
a libertarian, I don't think that's the right way to go.
But anyway, they were just complaining in the reporting on
these cutbacks and these various health agencies. Oh my god,
these people in the tobacco regulation area are just going

(07:21):
to have been blocked out of their office and think, well,
what have they been doing, what's their purpose, what's the
reason for their existence. There's already nine jillion regulation to
rules on the books for tobacco. Remember they tried to
ban menthol and then they realized that there was a
certain percentage of black voters that well they would have

(07:41):
the I guess on a percentage basis, more black people
smoke menthol cigarettes than regular cigarettes. So there's the black
population as a collective. Then there's a subset of the
black population that smokes, and apparently within the subset that smokes,
more of them smoke menthol cigarettes. So the politicians decided, no,
we're not going to go down that road because we'll
lose black voters in the subset of black voters that

(08:03):
smoke and smoked mental cigarettes. So it's all about votes apparently. Anyway, Sorry,
I don't know how I got down that road. Syntaxes
and education is how I went down that road anyhow.
Donovani Will addressed that topic at seven thirty, followed by
Steve Belso, veteran ID cards he's with the Clima County

(08:23):
Veteran Services. Steve joins the program regularly, looking forward to
having it back on. I love the American veteran empower you.
Following the Trump campaign last year with EPOC or Epic depends,
I'm going to Astley ask Janis Heiseel, who's the reporter
from the Epoch or Epic Times, because I've looked it up.
You can pronounce it either way. We'll see what Janie

(08:45):
does by way of pronunciation. But she was following the
Trump campaign. We'll get an update and an analysis from
Janis Heiseel at eight oh five. And it's a good
paper online. I recommend checking it out Epoch Times dot com.
If I recall the website correctly, I do consult it regularly.
Judge Nenapolitano on taking the Constitution seriously, and then at

(09:07):
eight forty five, Jess Obert, it is almost it's coming
up in July, but love promoting Peyton's lemonade stand. Jess
Obert returns the fifty five Krese Morning showed the tail
end of the program today to talk about Peyton's lemonade stand.
Beautiful concept, wonderful idea, articulate young lady anyway using up

(09:33):
most of the time they're on that sort of venting
and random musings from me. How do you feel about this?
Here in the state of Ohio, our elected officials are
advancing a plan to help the Cleveland Browns finance their
new enclosed stadium. I think you might imagine that I'm

(09:58):
against the concept, they say, the one step closer to
getting six hundred million dollars from state issued bonds under
a just revealed Ohio House version of the next biennial budget. No,
there's nothing in there for our local stadium here in
Hamilton County, formerly known as Paul Brown Stadium, which I

(10:19):
still like to think of it as my dad was
friends with Paul Brown and he was a good man.
Six hundred million dollars h Now, the Browns apparently want
to leave the lake front, move out to the suburbs,
and build this massive complex out there with all the
bells and whistles. Budget proposal would change state law to

(10:40):
allow lawmakers to make financing commitments to certain sports projects.
But it's only for I guess counties that have a
million or more or something along the nights are cities
that have a million of more people, so we aren't
included in it. There was no intention of ever including
upgrades to the pay Course stadium. Browns are seeking one
point two billion with a B in taxpayer money to

(11:04):
help pay for the new stadium, which apparently is going
to cost two point four billion dollars. Thank you Joe
Strecker for the SoundBite that I was thinking of when
I read that. It's exactly what I actually felt it
when I first read that. It caused a physical reaction

(11:25):
and not a lot of Yeah, a painful physical reaction.
Two point four billion dollars. Half of that public funding
would come from the state, which means lots of my
listeners are going to be working today or sometime in
the future if this goes through to fund a stadium
for the Cleveland Browns. How does that make you feel?

(11:49):
Joe open the phone line just in case someone wants
to comment and chime in on this. Five point three
seven four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred eighty two
to three Talk Pound five fifteen on AT and T phones,
Brown say the state money is make or break for
the project. Oh boo blank and who. Earlier this week,

(12:12):
Our Monday owners Jimmy and d Haslam told reporters that
they're exploring alternatives to the county county financing, but they
haven't said precisely how they will fill these six hundred
million dollar gap. He said, we will know on the
state funding by June thirtieth. Okay, that's Jimmy Haslam in
a statement on Monday. So this is not going to

(12:35):
be drawn out deal. It's either going to happen and
happened quickly, or we'll go to plan B. Okay, what's
planned B? According to WCPO, in what appears to be
an artificial intelligence created article, that's meeting critical of the phrasing,
the wording, and how it's just the whole thing. You know,
I've been reading and and and and digesting written material

(13:01):
for so long in my life, both of my prior
career and as the host of the fifty five kres
Morning Show that I think I've become a student detecting
when something is generated by our artificial intelligence, but ignoring
that Plan B is renovating the existing stadium, which the
city of Cleveland happens to own, and apparently Brown's executives

(13:28):
have are continuing to talk with Cleveland about a renovation,
even though the team clearly prefers the brook Park plan,
which is the one of the suburbs. Well, yeah, and
you know what, when dad was a kid, he wanted
a pony. And what did his dad say?

Speaker 3 (13:46):
No?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Right, I prefer a pony to my bicycle. I prefer
the brook Park two point four billion dollar stadium megacomplex
to a renovation of our existing stadium. Okay, how about No,

(14:10):
We're out here struggling. Our tax dollars are being consumed
more and more across the board. Our energy bills are
going up, our property tax is going up. We have
less disposable income in our pockets, and not one single
soul outside the greater Cleveland area is ever going to
end up in whatever stadium you end up getting as
a consequence of an infusion of taxpayer dollars. So I

(14:32):
got two words for you, and the ain't happy birthday.
As Dad used to say. I am so fed up
with public dollars going to private ownership sports complexes. The
suburban project much more than a dome stadium here. I'm
quoting from wcpo's Morgan Trowe would remake one hundred and

(14:55):
seventy six acres near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Haslam's Sports
Group plans include new restaurants, apartments, entertainment venues, hotels, offices
in twelve thousand to fourteen thousand surface parking spaces. They
claim the project will more than pay for itself, bringing

(15:23):
an influx of cash to northeast Ohio. The idea is
that public sector entities including the state, means you will
make debt service payments on the bonds using a wide
range of tax revenues generated by the entire mixed use developments. However,
according to recent interviews with News five, finance experts have

(15:47):
questioned the team's math, saying there's been far too little
information released with so much public money at stake. Amen
five fifty five KCD talks, feel free to chime in.
I'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Fifty five KRC dot com.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
In today's Mark.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Five twenty four eh fifty five p r C detalk
station and I mentioned Americans for Prosperity Donovan and Eel
on Syntaxes and Education beyond at seven thirty UH Syntaxes
and Education predicated on a discussion about House Built ninety
six and on the heels of the Cleveland Browns maybe
getting six hundred million dollars in some assistance from the

(16:30):
state to build their new stadium. The House Built ninety
six budget apparently slashes public school funding now, according to
the reporting, to be fully funded based on statistics, and
if you believe them, the fair school funding plan from
back in twenty twenty one, schools would need six hundred

(16:52):
and sixty six million dollars sixty sixty six that's an
interesting number anyway. Proposed budget though in HB ninety only
gives them two hundred and twenty six million. So, regardless
of where you are in funding of public schools, and
regardless of these figures that bear any connection with reality,
which many argue they do not, schools two hundred and

(17:14):
twenty six million, Cleveland Brown Stadium six hundred million from
state issued bonds, you draw your own conclusions. Five to
twenty five fifty five KSh the talk station Local Stories
coming up, and I'd love to hear from you if
you've got a comment five one, three, seven four nine

(18:22):
CD talk stations five twenty nine and a Happy Wednesday
listener Launch Wednesday, Barley Corns Wilder to Kentucky location up
to see you. There should be a good time west side.
Jim Keefer is going to be there. There's a draw lease.
He told me you would be let us see or
no one wants to talk to me this morning. All right,

(18:44):
you're prerogative. Feeling lonely, although I do see Joe's trekker.
Warren County judge found six people accused of beating a
man with baseball bats plural guilty of flonious assault. Tiffany Parks,
Erreck Floyd dember Mitchell, Britney Matthews, Corey Matthews, and Zoe
Matthews all found guilty at two counts of Flordia's assault.

(19:06):
Sixteen year old Zoey Matthews was tried as an adult.
Fox nineteen jessicav Schmidt reporting said Fox nineteen got a
video of it showing what prosecutors say the six suspects
attacking the victim with baseball bats along Innovation Way and Mason.
Court record show the victim was taken to the hospital
with life threatening injuries, although it's unclear how he's doing

(19:27):
at this point. Six suspects initially indicted for attempted murder
in Filonia's assault, but found guilty for felonious assault charges only.
Sentencing schedule from eight twenty first one pm in case
you have nothing to do. Several fire departments responded to
a fire Rumkies recycling facility for businesses early yesterday or

(19:50):
Tuesday morning. Besides Elmwood Places, fire crews from Wachland, Reading, Wyoming,
Saint Bernard and Woodlawn all called to the Vine Street
building in Elmwood Place about seven thirty in the morning.
Courting to rumki's spokesperson Mallyeger, all five employees who were
working at the time safely evacuated. She said Vine Street
shut down for more than an hour before reopening around
nine o'clock in the morning. Fire was put out by

(20:11):
eight am. Crews were still extinguishing hotspots, though the cause
remains under investigation. Jeger, for her part, said lithium ion
batteries are suspected because those are usually the culprits at
fires at Rumkies facilities, including its main recycling plan on
Vine Street and Saint Bernard. According to her, no batteries,

(20:32):
period and other flammable items are allowed to be recycled
or thrown out, so that especially goes for lithium ion
batteries found in many popular items cell phones, laptop, computers,
greeting cards, and we hear about this from iHeart Media
aviation expert Jay Ratliffe all the time. Don't pack those
in your stowed away luggage because the fire starts in
the bottom of the airplane, no one can get to

(20:53):
it and everyone can die. So apparently, don't throw them
away either. They say that lingering energy in the battery
is dangerous of the lithium battery is damaged like being
compacted in garbage trucks over by equipment of Rumkey's plants.
Leathum ion batteries must be safely recycled, she said, either

(21:14):
by sending the battery pack back to the manufacturer or
disposing of it at a designated drop off location. So,
according to Romkie Best Practices for battery disposal Thank you
Again Fox nineteen reporting, put old batteries and plastic bags,
or cover the ends of the battery terminals with clear
packing tape which prevents lingering charges from being released. Locate
your nearest disposal site or look for a battery drop

(21:37):
off events which take place from time to time in
various communities. Call to recycle. That's the call number two
recycle one word they say is another great resource that
promotes battery recycling across the country. You can remove the
battery from an old device, bring the entire device to
a facility recommended by your local solid waste management district

(21:58):
for it to be properly. This mumbled check for battery
returned because some manufacturers do except them via mail, or
you can call rumky Waiste Recycling eight hundred eight two

sin Sin a student arrested Tuesday after police say he

(22:20):
tried to impede a demonstration on campus being held by
preachers with inflammatory signs. Preachers with inflammatory signs anyway three

to prevent officers from handcuffing him and kicked officers as
he was being placed into the cruiser. Student charged with
resisting arrests and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. The preachers, who

(23:28):
a UC spokeswoman said were not affiliated with the campus,
left by four pm. One of the observers there, along
with other students in the group, and other campus groups,
then organized a protest against the student's arrest outside the
Himmelton County Justice Center yesterday evening. Student was still in

Speaker 1 (25:38):
It's a couple of five forty one fifty five kercit
talk station phone overber here. I'm gonna get to Alice.
Call five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred
eight hundred eight two three talk con five fifty on
AT and T phones. Al welcome to the program, Thanks
for holding over the break. Good to hear from me
this morning.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, good morning, Brian, and God bless you your family
and uh everyone associated with the show, including the listeners.
I am jealous of the people that are getting to
come to the listener launch later today. I won't be
able to make it one of my bucket list items.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well, Joe told me you're in Cleveland, so it makes
perfect sense. You're not going to drive to Wilder, Kentucky today, Ali,
I'll look for today when you're in the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yes. Well, I am a recovering professional sports fan, uh and.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
A die hard.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Former Browns fan, and I have gotten to the point
where professional sports, whether it happened to be the real
professionals or the minor leagues of major college I've kind
of weaned myself from that. But the fact the matter
is the Browns ownership and leadership are a bunch of clowns,

(27:06):
and I think what they're pulling is an April Fool's joke.
You notice the news came out yesterday, So that's my thought,
and well, I hopefully this.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Is I hope you're right. I can't imagine they've been
talking about state money for the for this stadium project,
whether it's a rehab of what you got, or the
building is a two point four billion dollar project, as
is reported. But I tend to think I wish you
were right, But I tend to think, No, this isn't

(27:38):
an April Fool's joke. I mean, you know, the April
fools joke that was played on all of us was
the stadium deal that was negotiated with the Cincinni Bengals
in Hamilton County officials both sitting on the same side
of the table some twenty five years ago. Uh, and
not on April first. We're still living with that.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Why well, I only have thirty four cents in my
bank account and I'm not going.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
To give that up for a stadium. So good for you,
Oh God, bless you.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Man.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I hope to see us someday at a listener lunch. Baby,
we'll do one in Cleveland someday to put it in
your neighborhood. Oh anyway, all right, into the stacking stupid.
This is one you're not gonna believe. And I hardly
believe what I'm I'm reading. It's on Yahoo. Not that
that makes it real or not, but this is how

(28:30):
batcrap insane society has become at least it's in Britain,
United Kingdom, and let me just go ahead and read it.
A British toddler described as age three or four was
kicked out of a school nursery quote for being transphobic

(28:57):
close quote. Court of The Telegraph reported earlier this week.
They say the name of the school and details of
the case not disclosed by the Department of Education of
the United Kingdom. They've got one of those there too.
Spokesman told the newspaper that all pupils and staff should
feel safe and protected at school and should never face

(29:20):
violence or abuse, unless, of course, you're the child age
three or four who is accused of being transphobic, when
you probably don't even know what it is to be transphobic,
as say. Statistics revealed that ninety four students at state
primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded four transphobia and
homophobia in twenty twenty two twenty twenty three year figure

(29:43):
includes ten students from year one and three from year two.
That will be the years of education I suppose, where
the maximum age is seven years old. According to the report,
director of a advocacy at Sex Matters, which is a group.
Hell and Joyce quoted is saying, every once in a while,
the streams of gender ideology throw up a story that
seems too crazy to believe.

Speaker 7 (30:03):
In.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
A toddler being suspended from nursery for so called transphobia
or homophobia is one such example. She said. Teachers in
school leaders involved in this insanity should be ashamed of
themselves for projecting adult concepts and beliefs onto such young children. Amen.

(30:26):
Author JK. Rowling, you may be familiar with her, also
chimed in on this, posting on next, saying, this is
totalitarian insanity. If you think small children should be punished
for being able to recognize sex, you're a dangerous zealot
who should be nowhere near kids or in any position
of authority over them. Amen. Director of the Free Speech Union,

(30:51):
Lord Young, speaking with a newspaper quote it beggars believe
that schools are suspending children as young as five for
breaching their transphobia policy. I would have thought, if your
ideology is so rigid it justifies you to punishing toddlers
for not complying with it, that's a powerful argument for
discarding it in favor of something less dogmatic. Well, let's
put an explanation point all in bold and capitals on

(31:14):
all of that five forty six fifty five KRC. Is
it possible that a child could be transphobic?

Speaker 8 (31:26):
No?

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Pressed egonteriors for kitchen and remodeling related to nothing in
connection with that story. Sorry, John Ryan, that you have
to follow that. But if you want somebody to remodel

who is literally pressed Egentiers. It's his company. He will
be your partner from initial design to final installation and
trusting he will be very happy with that. We certainly
were when he helped us with our kitchen. He's just
a really sweet guy. But having done kitchens for about

(31:51):
thirty five years almost exclusively, he has seen every size
and scope project from the smallest like just simple cabinet
upgrades or account or top upgrades, to gutting the whole
thing and starting from scratch, which is the direction we went,
and thank god we did. He actually found space. You know,
you got a house that's a certain square footage, how
do you create additional space? Good question? He did it

(32:12):
for us. Just it just was awesome that just one
little little design change resulting in so much better flow
and function and form, and the storage is so much
better than it was when when they had the house
built builder special of course it was He's with you

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Nine fifty five krc shy.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Five fifty two fifty five KRCD talk station stack O Stupid,
Let's go overseas again. A wife robbed two banks while
she was eight months pregnant and apparently duped her unwitting
husband into being the getaway driver. Thirty seven year old
Anna A robed two banks in Lubin region of Poland

(33:15):
October and November twenty twenty three. After being inspired by
gangster films she watched broke into the Cooperative bank in Corral,
brandishing a knife, demanding the cashier give her money before
fleeing on foot. Police launched a manhunt road closure search
dogs following the robbery, but officers were un able to

(33:35):
find her. She was described as short and likely female. Yeah,
manhunt not the preferred nomenclature, well played, just tracker. Two
weeks later, she targeted another branch of the same bank
in the town of Palawi. Please said she carried an
object similar to a firearm. That's in quotes. She made

(34:00):
her husband unwinning an unwinning accomplished. She tol him to
pick her up after a checkup appointment at the hospital.
In reality, he was acting as their getaway driver from
a parking lot near the bank where she committed the
first robbery. While come finding or combing rather through CCTV footage,
investigators noticed that the thief had a baby bump and
managed to track her down. She was arrest of the

(34:22):
day after the second robbery and tuttal stole ten thousand pounds,
half of which discovered in the basement of her house
after she spent the other half on building materials, at
least for the family home. Sentenced to four years in
prison for the bank robberies and causing bodily harm in
twenty twenty four order to pay fine and compensation to
the banks. Knife and remnants of the clothes believe he had

(34:44):
been using the robberies also found in a suitcase. She
told her husband the money she stored in the suitcase
and their basement was from a lottery wind the right
idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots, Okay. She claims
she acted alone, her husband had no idea about her
criminal activities. Gave birth through a baby behind bars, has

(35:06):
been allowed to care for the child while in prison.
Bother three appealed to sentence, but a court just upheld
the verdict last Thursday, which is why this ancient crime
is just now being reported in the stack of stupid.
Coco Beach, Florida principal and her third grade teacher were
arrested last Friday court at police Elizabeth Hill. Brodigan and

(35:32):
Carly Anderson were both president at a house party with
more than a hundred students where drugs, alcohol, and guns
were present. States Attorney's Office file charges against the former
Brevard County Elementary School principal and teacher in connection with
the underage house party in Coco Beach. An announcement this Tuesday.
Elizabeth Hill Brodigan, former principal at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School,

(35:56):
facing charges of child eglect, five counts of contributing to
the delinquidcye of a minor, one kind of holding an open
house party. Carl Anderson, a former third grade teacher in
the same elementary school, facing one count of disorderly conduct
and one count of disorderly intoxication. Court of State Attorney
William Schneider or Shiner, Florida's laws dealing with open house

(36:18):
parties and underage drinking are meant to keep our young
people in communities safe. Stating the obvious, these laws are
in place to deter the conduct that exposes our youth
to harmon gives rise to these criminal charges. When laws
are violated, the State Attorney's Office stands with law enforcement,
the school board, and the community we served, hold the
offenders accountable and ensure the safety of our youth. Apparently,

(36:41):
Hill Brodigan could face up to five years in prison,
five years of probation, five thousand dollars fine for the
child neglect, along with up to one year in jail.
On one thousand dollars flyine for each of the five
counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and
up to sixty days in jail, six month probation, and
or a five hundred dollars fine for holding an open
house party. Apparently one two hundred children reportedly attended the

(37:04):
described as booze filled house hosted at Hill Brodigan's home.
The quote white why party close quote advertised on Snapchat,
which apparently drew kids from multiple schools. Students said the
party has occurred at least once or twice a month.

(37:28):
Police sledgers under a drinking marijuana, used fights, and at least
one child bringing a gun to the party. A boy
was also found vomiting and shaking in the yard. A
female student was charged with duy. I just can't believe
adults would be that just so blank and stupid. Fivefty

(37:50):
six Stick around more to talk about in six o'clock
hour and enjoy hearing from you. If you get care
to call and comment, feel free to do so. I'll
be right back.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
Confused, fast stamped at the top of the hour. Not
going to be complicated. It's going to go very fast.

Speaker 9 (38:04):
Fifty five KRC the talk station from the very beginning,
iHeart has believed.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
The shy six or six if you buy KRC the
talk Station. Thomas right here wishing everyone a very happy
Wednesday and extending an imitation to listener lunch. Going to
be a Barley Corns Brewery Wilder, Kentucky location today, looking
forward to going there. Heard nothing but good things about
that place, and we're continuing our listener lunch micro brewery
tour this year. May have an exception, looking like maybe

(38:32):
go to Jim and Jacks. They've been asking and asking
for us to show up and love Jim and Jackson.
Probably going to do that as we get closer to
the November election, so fingers crossed will end up there.
But in the meantime, we're doing the micro brewer tour
and you're invited to check out the Barleycorns Wilder, Kentucky
location today. I hope to see you there. And Phil
found five fifty on AT and T phones, still sort

(38:54):
of asking out loud subject matter I started with earlier
in the program, six hundred million dollars from Statish bonds
for the Cleveland Browns Stadium, described as a two point
four billion dollar construction project in the suburbs, and the
Browns are asking for one point two billion dollars in

(39:16):
tax payer money to help them build this new complex.
I just I'm disgusted by the whole idea. Like I
think it was a listener Jay that called in and
he did the math on this or saw the statistic
like point zero zero one percent of Ohioans generally will

(39:37):
ever end up seeing a Cleveland Browns game at the stadium.
I don't know why this is a priority for elected
officials to think that we should be funding these sports organizations,
just quite frankly and quite candidly, and I'm sorry for
using the language. It just pisses me off. There are
all kinds of needs out there in the world, and

(39:57):
there's all kinds of budget limitations, and you know, you
might want your rebuilt or something, and some idiot politician,
because he wants a bright and shiny object to you know,
stand and get a photograph next to they just will
ignore what they've already built, let it fall apart while
they build other things. Aren't there greater priorities in the
state of Ohio, And ignoring whether or not there are

(40:22):
should state taxpayers fund a dime for something like that.
Go ahead, someone call me, tell me it's a good
idea to support something like that. Anyway, all across the

(40:44):
reporting on this, of course, we know the Wisconsin Supreme Court,
the justice that the Democrat back Canada for Wisconsin Supreme
Court won the election yesterday, and everywhere I read about
this defeated a challenger and President Donald Trump and billionaire
Elon Musk. You can't find an article reporting on this

(41:07):
that doesn't mention something along those lines. It's almost a
quote if he had a challenger endorsed by President Donald
Trump and billionaire Elon Musk. Fine, what about the billionaires
that supported Susan Crawford? Apparently, and you got to read
way into the reporting for those who bothered reporting on it,

(41:30):
Crawford benefited from outside money, a couple of million dollars
from George Sorows, along with money from billionaire progressive JB.
Pritzker from Illinois, who's reportedly he spent a lot of
money in the race as well. You don't hear about that, though,
do you. We'll find that a little interesting, But it

(41:54):
is Wisconsin. Trump barely squeaked by a victory in Wisconsin
and according to all their reporting, a huge voter voter
turnout and a massive voter turnout from the very Democrat districts.
They all showed up in huge numbers to support her victory.
And you know that's gonna happen. You got to drive
voter turnout. I know Americans for Prosperity was up knocking

(42:16):
on doors apparently in interacting with six hundred thousand voters.
We're going to have Americans for Prosperity. Donovan and Neil
on House built ninety six, the budget bill, which does
suggest that money's going to come from you and I
to build Paul Brown or to build Cleveland Brown Stadium.
At least it may unless we all revolt. And I
recommend a call of action. Contact your elected officials and

(42:38):
columbus and tell them hell no, or in stronger terms,
if you choose a big picture with Jack Adam and
he'll be on at seven oh five Shakespeare's advice for Trump.
That should be fun. Jack does a great job of
weaving history in with modern politics, and I always enjoy hearing.
I'm gonna hope you do too. He'll be on in
at seven oh five, and then Donovan and Neil from

(42:59):
AFP will be on its seven thirty to talk about sin,
taxes and education. Apparently Mike DeWine says that no, no, no,
this isn't going to come at any cost to you
because we're going to be taxing I don't know, online gambling.
Going back to my comments, who decides what's the sin
and who decides why there should be extra taxes on
any given activity or purchase. Steve Belzo from the Claimar

(43:21):
County Veteran Services. He'll return to the program at seven
forty to talk about Veteran ID Cards empower You seminar
following the Trump campaign last year. Janice Heisel from Epoch
or Epoch Times or Epic, depending on how you want
to pronounce it. I'll ask Janis about that. We'll get
her low down at eight h five. Judge Annitapolotano every

(43:41):
Wednesday at a thirty today taking the Constitution seriously. And
Jess Obert, it's almost time for Peyton's lemonade. Stam, we're
going to get the early announcement on that. The Times,
the Place, the winds and the whys and the wharforce.
It's a wonderful charity and it is in July, but
we're going to get it on the radar this morning.
It's eight forty five. Closing out the program on a

(44:03):
high note five three seven four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two to three talk found five fifty
on AT and T phones. Yes, Elon Musk massive investment
in Wisconson Court election didn't pay off for a liberal
judge security victory that could tarnish the billionaire's political cloud
and trigger worry for some Republicans about how voters are
processing the opening months of President Trump's new administration. And

(44:26):
that's that's the first paragraph of the Wall Street Journals reporting,
and it's pretty much literally the first paragraph of all
of the reporting on this Supreme Court outcome in Wisconsin.
Now you go to Florida, where both of the Republican
candidates for the House won, not as much reporting on that,
But when you do read the reporting on that, of course,
it's always characterized in pejorative terms, at least as far

(44:49):
as the Trump administration is concerned, because the margin of
victory wasn't as large as prior margins of victory for Republicans,
at least, most notably last November, the bias is really
coming out on this. So the Republicans won two special
House elections in Florida and deeply read congressional districts and

(45:10):
again closer than expected. But this was a record spending
judicial contest. It was the most money spent on any
judicial contest in the United States, reportedly coming close to,
if not one hundred million dollars, one hundred million dollars

(45:31):
for one Supreme Court seat. Of course, it keeps the
balance on the liberal side of the equation, and they
talked about all the different things that might come before
the Wisconsin Supreme Court, redistricting and something along the lines
of abortion and anyway, she handily beats Shimmel fifty four
to forty six. Let's see here in twenty twenty three,

(45:58):
that's when the court flipped over to the liberman ority
for the first time of fifteen years. The liberal candidate
won by eleven percentage points, so pretty comparable. Comparable to
that one and the race to phill former Representative Walt
Seats and Daytona Beach, Florida State Senator Randy Fine defeated
Democrat Josh Wile, a teacher and progressive activists. According to

(46:20):
the AP, ninety nine percent of the expected vote counted.
Fine led while by fourteen percentage points, so pretty sizable
victory on that. In the first congressional district in Florida,
Republican Jimmy Patronis, the state's chief financial officer, beat Gay Valomont,

(46:41):
a Democrat gun control activist, ninety eight percent of the
vote counted. Patronis led Valomont fifty seven to forty two.
And of course, they point out last November, wrote GOP Rep.
Matt Gates won the district by thirty two percentage points
before resigning. A lower voter turnout, they say, makes drawing

(47:05):
sweeping conclusions about the special elections in Florida difficult. November,
more than four hundred thousand votes were tallied in each
congressional district. Yesterday, the race counted less than half of that,
So not as enthusiastic a voter turnout as it was
in Wisconsin, where it was apparently a very sizeable voter turnout,
most notably from the heavily Democrat leaning districts. So I

(47:30):
don't know, can you draw any conclusions from this? I'm
reluctant to do so. I mean, it doesn't shock me
and Wisconsin, a Democrat won again Donald Trump barely squeaked by,
but look who he Look who his opponent was, Kamala Harris.

(47:50):
I mean even our far left leaning friends and wisconstant
realized that idiot when they saw it, and they're willing
to take a gamble on Donald Trump rather than you know,
voting for a monstrably cognitively impaired woman. I mean, you
went from a diagnosable cognitively impaired Joe Biden to someone

(48:12):
you could argue isn't cognitively impaired until she opens her
mouth and starts talking, and then you're like, well, wait,
whoa We're gonna put the keys of government and control
of America's military in the hands of that lady. I
don't think so. And Trump only won by a squeaker,
so you go ahead and draw your own conclusions. I
don't know that this necessarily means a whole lot, but boy,

(48:35):
they aren't. The press across the board really just cling
to anything they can to criticize and demonize, as we
have become so used to Donald Trump. At least we're
used to that, we have an expectation of it. But
poor Elon Musk and I see poor, not in the

(48:55):
sense of monetarily poor, when of the world's richest guys,
if not the richest god in the worl world, they
are working their butts off to try to get his
company to tank, to get his stock to go down.
The former darling of the environmental movement maker of the
best electronic vehicle or electric vehicle on the planet, and

(49:16):
I still say it probably holds that title. Never driven one,
but everybody I know that owns one owns them not
because of the environment, because they're just awesome to drive.
But now it's a symbol of Nazis. Now, I think
that Squeaky Wheel is a crowd that's a lot smaller
than it's perceived to be. Social media is really easy

(49:41):
to get a bunch of people together, you know the
fringe elements, And there's a bunch of fringe elements out there,
but not a sizeable amount. If you can get one
of every one hundred people to show up at an event,
because well, elon Musk, Nazi whatever, you can make the
appearance that is a major pority of people, or appearance

(50:01):
that it is a sizable chunk of the population, when
in reality that's the reporting On it is merely because
it's so backcrap insane. They're attacking a product because of
a guy who's working to get rid of fraud, waste
and abuse in government. And all these interviews and they're
all over the place, the videos on YouTube and everywhere.

(50:23):
When they interview the folks that show up at these
rallies and ask them, well, what exactly it is that
you find critical of Elon Musk, The best they can
come up with is that Nazi salute thing, when he's
never uttered a syllable in support of Nazis, the National
Socialist Party or whatever they allegedly stand for. And he's
the one that's doing exactly the opposite of what fascists do,

(50:45):
which is increase the size and scope of government and
it's control over business and industry. There's your fascism. How
many times do we have to say it? Read the
blank and definition idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots, right,
But the optics crazy people doing crazy things makes for
good press, doesn't it. Bob, Bobby's on the phone. Hang on, Bobby,

(51:11):
it's six eighteen to fifty five. Ker see the talk station,
and I want to strongly encourage you to get in
touch with Simmer Heating and air Conditioning. I recommended him
to my friend just the other day. Guys, I'm recommending
him to you, and it's a good time. If you
have to upgrade your system, it is a great time
because they're doing a rebate Carrier Comfort system from Zimmer
Heating and Cooling. The experts at Zimmer Heating and Cooling
for more than seventy five years, family owned and operator've

(51:33):
been making Cincinnati home safe, efficient and comfortable. Well. They
represent the company that invented air conditioning, that is Carrier,
and you can get a new Carrier Comfort system and
save up to fifteen hundred and fifty bucks. I call
that real money. And they're you know, it's not an
inexpensive proposition to get a new system, but if you're
going to do it, why not save this kind of

(51:53):
cash and work with the experts at Zimmer who are
great at customer service. That's why they've been around for
so long. They got a super rep and Chris Simmer
and the team and Zimmer will take great care of you.

least one. Let's start with order in which they received. Bobby,
thanks for calling this morning in a Happy Wednesday to.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
You, Happy humpday. My brother only got two quick things.
Wisconsin election Republicans never learned their lesson early voting lessons.
That's what That's why they lost it up there. And
the next one is Hammond and County will cave because

(52:51):
the Bungles will get their money. Also, just like the Browns.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
You predicted it. We'll wait and find out. I don't
think they're deserving of the money. I don't think the
Browns is serving of the money. They got a stadium,
it's their team. They make all the money off of it.
Let them pay for it. I don't understand it. And
the math never works out on this. We've heard from
this from so many times from a taxpayer protection alliance.
They lie to you about how much revenue that comes
in how many games do they play in these stadiums

(53:15):
on an annual basis just a handful. Do you think
all the business and industry that's around those survives on
the handful of games that are there. Most of the
people don't even get out of the stadium, but probably
show up. And what do they do. They hang out
and have tailgate parties. They don't go to the bars
and restaurants, at least that's what I've come to understand.
That's why we built a big, giant parking lot for
the well tailgaters, investing money in parking so people can

(53:39):
come and enjoy the game outside with their own food
and their own beverages, then go into the game where
they'll spend fifteen dollars for a beer and nine thousand
dollars for a hot dog, watch a very expensive game.
If you can afford to even go there. The vast
majority of us don't do that, can't afford it. It's
out of our budget means, because well, our property taxes
went through the roof and our energy bills went through
the roof, and we don't have any money left over

(54:00):
to spend. Basically, what amounts to two hundred dollars per
head to see a professional sports team play there. I'm
on record, thank you, Bobby Cribage. Mike hang on, brother,
if you don't mind, I'm out of time getting long
winded this morning, six twenty five, fifty five KC detalk station.
I want to mention Emory Federal Credit Union. Get a
load of this. Check out what your interest rate is
in your current credit card, and if you're carrying a

interest rate. So take advantage of this because for a
limited time, you can transfer the balance of that high
interest card to an Emory Federal Credit Union card and
get zero percent for seven months and no transfer fee.
That's a hell of a deal. So if you don't

morning show. Good to hear from me today, my submarine
or friend, morning.

Speaker 11 (56:32):
Sir, looking forward to our match here in a little bit.
And uh, as I mentioned yesterday, Fortunately for my grandson,
he's on spring break this week, so I'm sure it'll
be the highlight of his week.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
I'm looking forward to seeing him. You know, it's hilarious
because cribbage Mike's grandson roots for me. When I play
cribbage against him.

Speaker 11 (56:51):
He's already out of the will. So but you have
a distinctive advantage.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Yes, for sure, I do. I do well. It's just
an honor having him route for me, although he sadly
disappointed at least regularly so since you always end up
kicking my butt, that's okay.

Speaker 11 (57:07):
So this morning I have good news for one of
your sponsors, public service announcement. In a little bit of
a rant, yesterday, I was at the vet having giving
my dog his routine shots and there was one product
they had there on display in the room I was
at to control pet odor, and it.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
Was I knew it. Yes, sir, they know, and I know,
being a dog owner, I know I do endorse them,
and I am a paid sponsor, but you know what
his products work. I'd buy him even if I was
an advertising for them.

Speaker 11 (57:40):
And my public service announcement yesterday I attended we just
started our training for poll workers, and I'll throw out
the bat signal that with election day on May sixth
coming up that anybody that's even thought about it, this
is this is a great time of the year to
do it, because just being an off year spring election election,

(58:01):
the turnout isn't near as much. So if that is
what held you back before, this is the time to
do it, then we could always use them. And now
my rant is also before the upcoming special election in
the fall, or excuse me, in the spring, because what
do we see, Just like as the flowers come up
every spring out here in the West Clarmont School District,

(58:22):
we have our school levy again again. Now again, it's
only been five years ago since the last one passed
due to mismanagement of money that built that beautiful high
school that would put most community colleges to shame. And
now here we are five years after that, they're coming
back into our pockets again. And Brian, between that school

(58:43):
levy that was passed in twenty twenty along with the reassessment,
the triannual reassessment of property taxes, my property tax went
up sixty five percent believe too, not sixty five percent
between the assessment and that school levy that passed, and
then here we are again. So I'm sure we're going
to see all the school kids, you know, on the
corners here in a couple of weeks, you know, waving

(59:05):
and support, but that tactic of using off year special
elections to come back. So but there's already a grassroots
movement to vote it down because like a lot of
government officials, you don't just plan for these beautiful buildings
and atriums and sports sport complexes and then then worry

(59:25):
about how you're going to pay for it. The one
argument was the one elementary school was built in the sixties. Well,
last year my alma mater, Elder High School, just celebrated
our one hundredth anniversary west side Jim Keefer's alma Mater.
Roger Bacon next year is celebrating their one hundredth anniversary.
Because those schools were built with lockers, with hallways and classrooms,

(59:46):
and if you want the extras, then you go out
to the alumni or you do fundraising. You don't just
go back and deep reach into the taxpayer's pockets.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
I couldn't agree with you more. I mean, it's like
the same argument I can make with the the pay
Course Stadium. You know, they rebuilt the locker room. I
don't know what the hell they put into it. It was
multiple millions of dollars, you know, can't you. I mean,
what do you need in a locker room? A shower, right,
a locker and maybe a jacuzzi so you can, you know,

(01:00:16):
sit in it when you've been injured or wounded or something.
I mean, lord almighty, need a disco ball and special
lighting or whatever the hell they put in there for
multiple millions of dollars. I just don't understand it.

Speaker 11 (01:00:27):
And you know, when those players were at home watching
the playoffs, just like we were.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Yeah, yeah, I went to Dolly Junior High School and
I remember we had to take classes in a trailer
that they parked next to it and for it was
health class I think or something like that. Fine bare bones. Yes, minimalist, absolutely,
but there was a teacher in the front of the
room and the class work was being done and we
were learning what we were being taught in that minimalist facility,

(01:00:51):
and the inside was even worse than that. It didn't
impact my education in iota that we didn't have all
the bells and whistles. I do not understand this at all.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
Kids need look at the success at school.

Speaker 11 (01:01:04):
And you've had them on your show already out there
in bond Hill because once again they've gone back to
old schools. But how we went to school and look
at the results, and I was so pleased to hear
the last time it was on our show they have
a waiting list now to get in that school.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Absolutely, classical education is what children need, not bells and
whistles and amenities. And you know, college and even colleges
for God's sake. I mean I went to University of Cincinnati.
I got two degrees there. It helped me take care
of my family and I was able to get employed
as a consequence of two degrees from U. See, and
we didn't have anything. I mean, you looked at the streets.
We had all those old bars and the dilapidated joints.

(01:01:39):
We loved going to those. They're all knocked down. Everything's
been rebuilt. And is it better. Does it make it
better for educational purposes? I don't think so. I know
they've got to compete with the rest of the world,
but the rest of the world is building all these insane,
huge complexes, and knowing what we know about DOGE and
the infusions of billions of dollars of taxpayer money into
these colleges, maybe now we know why they're building all
these amenities facilities. I don't know. Somewhere along the way, Mike,

(01:02:04):
we just lost our focus and our lost our direction,
lost what was really important, which is great education with
teachers that really care. It doesn't matter what's in the classroom.
What matters is the person in front of the classroom
and the discipline level and the attentiveness of the children
in the class. Appreciate that, Mike. Look forward to seeing
at launch Barley Corns Wilder, Kentucky location. If you want

(01:02:26):
to stand over our shoulder and watch cribbage Mike kick
my butty again, feel free to do so. It's six
point thirty six to fifty five KCD talk station. Time
for me to mention in an outstanding product, one that
saves you money and pays for itself and provides you
with a mediate increase and comfort. Of course, USA Insulation
it's still only ninety nine dollars a month, and lots
of people save more than that on our ever increasing

(01:02:47):
energy bills, so the product pays for itself, and of
course you get the lasting benefit of USA even long
after it's been paid for. Next year in your taxis
you get a twelve on an hour energy tax credit
if you choose to take advantage of that. But you
take advantage of the special while it's still lasts ninety
nine dollars a month interest free. Whether you have no

Fifty five KRC. Have you ever wondered if your pet
is lying to you?

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
Sixty fifty five krc DE talk station Happy Wednesday three
seven fifty five hundred eight hundred two three talk at
several callers online order in which they receive Patrick that
means you're first, thanks for calling this morning. Good to
hear from you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
Hey, good morning, Brian. How are you today?

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
I'm doing great. Lot, I'm just just kind of irked.
Got a lot of news in front of me. This
is sort of just getting under my skin. But that
does happen.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
Well, that's a listener. Launch will cheer you up.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Oh, I definitely will.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
But Hey, the reason that I called is that when
you were talking about the taxation of the school levies,
and basically I can summarize this up. It's teaching socialism
without actually calling it socialism. It's taking the money from
somebody else and putting it into what you want for
nice things, because art work gets you nowhere anymore. So

(01:04:21):
that's all I had to say.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Have a good day, bud Well stated Patrick. Thank your next,
Thank welcome to the morning show. Thanks for calling.

Speaker 12 (01:04:29):
More and Brian, it's been a long time since we've
heard from the late Bob from Oakley, but I want
to point out something that he probably would have mentioned
there is a precedent for politicians throwing a lot of
money at stadiums. It's called bread and circuses. The Romans
did it to distract the citizen degree from all the

(01:04:51):
political jacanery.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
That they pulled off.

Speaker 12 (01:04:53):
Yeah, and basically that's the reason why a lot of
people I will invest a lot of emotional energy in
professional sports because it distracts them from the painful and
obvious things that the politicians are doing to us.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
Excellent observation, Hank. It's never changed, has it. It's always
been that way. It's not gladiators killing each other in
the stadium, but it is basically gladiators fighting each other
on a football field or in a baseball stadium, as
the case may be, and we all end up paying
for it, and we all get distracted by it. Because
you spend three and a half four hours watching a

(01:05:33):
football game. That's three and a half or four hours
of your day. You're not paying attention to the antics
of our politicians, global affairs, world affairs relations, things of
that nature, which of course impact us far more than
the outcome of any given game. Excellent Hank, and thank
you for bringing up the memory of Bob from oak
to Oakley. May he rest in peace. Carl, you're next,
Welcome to the show. Thanks for calling this morning.

Speaker 7 (01:05:55):
Good morning, Say I heard you talking about the Wisconsin
Supreme Court race. Yeah, we did have a win in
Wisconsin yesterday. If you look way down at the bottom
of the news feed, Wisconsint voters passed the constitutional amendment
to enshrine voter ID laws with sixty point three percent support,
securing its place in the state constitution.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
I have the article right here in my hand, Carl,
just hadn't gotten to it. You're right. In spite of
that left wing victory in the Supreme Court, the majority
and a sizable majority right voted to enshrine in their
constitution voter ID. It's a great it's a great outcome.
Great and they've they've joined the growing number of states
that do require it. So good point, Carl. Thanks for

(01:06:39):
putting a you know, sort of a taking away some
of the negativity of what happened in Wisconsin yesterday and
reminding people that they're not completely insane there and then
everyone understands the logic and reason of voter ID. It's
not racist because everyone can get one. It's easy to do.
And if you can't afford one, the state will provide
one for you. And it prevents people from cheating. Huh.

(01:07:04):
It prevents Republicans from cheating, and it prevents Democrats from cheating,
or at least goes a long way to stop that
activity from happening. All right, coming up, it's Trump's liberation
tax liberation Day. The tariff's probably kicking in today. He's
already got one victory, and I want your reaction on
how you feel about the one victory. I'll let you
know what that victory is here when we get back,

(01:07:27):
because I think it's a little troubling to be quite
candid with you. First though. Plumb Tight Plumbing. Good people

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
It's six fifty eight fifty five k SE detalk station.
Very happy Wednesday to you. I am going to go
to the phones here in a second, Tom, if you
don't mind and bearing with me just for a moment here.
I got to get this out of my system because
I'm just scratching my head over this. So we got
the Trump Liberation Day today, and at some time this
afternoon we're going to hear about the it' supposed to
be four pm and the Rose Guard announcement. What these

(01:10:15):
taxes and levees are going to. Where the levees are
going to be. The tariffs. People are speculating on how
much they'll be individualized based upon whatever other countries, you know,
tariffs tariffing our products coming there, maybe reciprocal equal tariffs,
but we don't know, so we'll find out today. But
one thing, as a consequence of this, and there have

(01:10:35):
been other, you know, sort of victories that Trump can
claim as a consequence of the tariff threats. A lot
of businesses promising to build and invest billions of dollars,
and automobile manufacturers design they put plants here in the
United States. All well and good. So yesterday Israel. Israel
announced that it's canceling it's remaining tariffs on imports from

(01:10:56):
the United States. Now, apparently this cancelation of tariffs needs
the signature from the Economic Minister near Barkatt and Parliament's
Finance Committee both are witch expected, but once done, the
tariffs on all imports from the United States will be canceled,
according to the announcement from the Prime Minister's office. The

(01:11:22):
background of this is and why this has got me mad.
I don't have any problem with Israel's existence. I have
a right to exist as a country, I don't. I
get it, no problem. You come up with your own
solution to the Middle Eastern conflicts which have been raging
for thousands of years. Of course, during my entire lifetime,
the concept of peace in the Middle East has been negotiated,
talked about, and never achieved. All that notwithstanding, according to

(01:11:48):
US Council on Foreign Relations, this is the site that
I'm relying upon. And you can say the numbers are wrong,
but I'm certain that they're close to accurate. The United
States has provisionally agreed, via a memorandum of understanding between
the United States and Israel, to provide Israel with three

(01:12:09):
point eight billion dollars annually through calendar year twenty twenty eight.
And we've been doing this forever. Apparently a cumulative amount
of money since Israel's founding three hundred and ten billion
dollars adjusted for inflation in total economic and military assistance
to the State of Israel. And they're tariffying our goods.

(01:12:33):
Does that make sense to you? Does the sound fair?
Does the sound right? And if you can explain this
that it's okay for Israel to be do you have
existing tariffs on our goods up until yesterday? Anyway, Well,
we give them three point eight billion dollars a year.
I'd love to hear the understanding and explanation. Bah Tom,
thank you for holding and indulging me on that. Welcome
to the Morning Show and thanks for calling.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
Yeah, I just had a question. I've heard a lot
of ads this week about how the people in Wisconsin
they didn't feel that it was right for Elon Musk
to try to buy a judge. My question to them
is how much did George Soros do spend to buy
his judges?

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Two million dollars for this one race? According to from
George Soros and then billionaire aka progressive Governor J. B.
Pritzker of Illinois also spent a whole lot of money
on the race. But you don't see that in the reporting,
all you see is endorsed by Trump and finance by
billionaire Elon Musk.

Speaker 3 (01:13:33):
Right, there's a one way street with the Democrats.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
Well, obviously, you know what's funny, because it's the one
way street with regard to the vast majority of all
the reporting across all news sources, from the Wall Street
Journal and Fox News to every other. Of course, left
wing organization doesn't even bother injecting the reality that George
Soros financed the left winger in the race. They leave
that part out. But every single article Elon musk massive

(01:13:59):
investment or w in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election didn't pay
off after a liberal judge security victory that could tarnish
the billionaire's political crowd clout and trigger worry for some
Republicans about how voters are processing the opening months of
President Trump's new administration. That from the Wall Street Journal,
which as you all know, is like my favorite paper.

(01:14:19):
I mean, they're biased in some ways, left in some ways. Right,
it's not just one size fits all. At the Wall
Street Journal. I trust them because they do vet they
do fact check what they're reporting. But in this particular case,
the article by John McCormick and Anthony Debars, the people
who I don't know starts out that way, but it's
consistent across the board. This was all about Elon Musk

(01:14:42):
and Donald Trump. And you know, as I commented earlier,
Trump won by a squeaker in the presidential race last November.
And there was a massive voter turnout by the left,
the huge, if a huge swass of all Democrat voters
in some of these counties that turned out in massive
numbers in Wisconsin. But yeah, Trump won, but he won

(01:15:05):
by this slivers tiniest of margins. And don't you think
on some level in liberal Wisconsin, traditionally blue Wisconsin, where
this race should probably have just been ignored and widely
assumed that the Democrat, the left leaning justice would have
won that the loss in the presidential race. But Kamala

(01:15:27):
Harris was because it was Kamala Harris. Come on, anybody
with a modicum of common sense, logic and reason probably
was scared witless over the idea of Kamala Harris being
president of the United States of America, so much so
that they would rather gone with evil Orange Man or
set it out. So feel free to draw your own conclusions.

(01:15:51):
Oh my god, this is a bell. Whether this is
an indication that, yeah, I'm not that convinced to be
quite candid with you. Well, here would Jack back Atheren
has to say Shakespeare's advice for Trump. He's waiting in
the wings, so join us. Right after the top of
the ur news, followed by Americans for Prosperities Donovan and
Neil on HB ninety six. The build that's floating around

(01:16:12):
up in Columbus, which again includes perhaps six hundred million
dollars for the Cleveland Brown Stadium, which has got me
really frankly pissed off this morning. Right back news.

Speaker 4 (01:16:22):
Happens fast, stay up to date. At the top of
the hour. We're moving very quickly at fifty five KRC
the talk station. This report is sponsored by A Tree
at fifty five.

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
KRC the Talk station. A very happy Wednesday till your
listener lunch Barley Corns, Wilder, Kentucky location. Looking forward to that.
And I always look forward to this time of the
week and this time on a Wednesday, because we get
the blessings and pleasure of hearing the sage wisdom of
Jack Athan and Jack Athen. Welcome back to the morning show.
Always a pleasure having you on my program, My friend.

Speaker 9 (01:16:53):
Good morning pal. We're both happy Republicans just won the
two congressional seats in Florida by Mike Waltz and Matt Gates.
At the same time, like you, I'm mad as hell
that we lost the Wisconsin Supreme Court race to a
Sorrow's funded candidate who promised to redraw state lines so

(01:17:14):
Republicans could lose two congressional districts. But can we talk now, Brian,
about why a lot of us are nervous to hear
when President Trump will announced in a few hours about
terras For the last two months, he's been consistent about
securing our borders, deporting criminals, ending wars, and unleashing growth

(01:17:37):
with tax and regulatory cuts. But terrafs are trickier. They
may even be a trap. So I hope Trump's advisors
are sharing some advice from, of all people, Shakespeare.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
I've been looking forward to how you're going to tie
all this together since I saw the topic. Shakespeare's advice
for Trump, Jackie, do such a wonderful job, so let's
have it.

Speaker 8 (01:18:01):
Well.

Speaker 9 (01:18:01):
I'm not going to quote for you the Democrats' favorite
lines from Shakespeare, I know him a notorious liar, think
him a great fool, solely a coward. As from Shakespeare's play,
all's well, that ends well, and never Trumpers still hope
the man they hate ends up in jail, maybe that

(01:18:21):
El Salvador prison with the trained d Arragua beauties. On
the other hand, Hamlet's highest praise for his murdered father
is something fans like me would say about Donald Trump.
He was a man taken for all and all. I
shall not look upon his leg again. That's very true.

(01:18:42):
Yet still, folks, we Trump supporters should not be blind
to his faults, mistakes he may be making that could
keep Trump from reaching his own goals. As always, Shakespeare
said it best. Oh, it is excellent to have a
giant strength, but it is terrannous to use it like

(01:19:04):
a giant. Throughout history, giants have been depicted as brutal, clumsy, unpredictable,
and unless we're talking about Andre the Giant and the
Princess Bride, they can be bullies. President Trump feels to
being unpredictable. Max rivals like China fear the United States.

(01:19:25):
You remember Brian how Jijungking was having dinner at mar
A Lago. When Trump launched fifty nine Cruz missiles on Syria,
even though Basher Asad was a Chinese ally, Ji blinked
and went on eating dessert. And neither China nor Russia
Iran little Rocketman's North Korea. Nobody started any wars during

(01:19:48):
Trump's first term. With Joe Briden, it was just the opposite.
Iran sent Hamas into Israel, Putin invaded Ukraine. The only
ones who feared China Joe were his neighbors in Delaware
who were on bicycles. And under Biden, we also lost
another kind of war, the war on American manufacturing, thanks

(01:20:11):
to rival countries currency manipulation. They're dumping subsidized goods into
the US and other predatory trade practices, including tariffs. Just
as much as securing the border and preventing any more wars,
Trump wants to restore America's middle class. You cannot have

(01:20:31):
a country, as we've often discussed, when the only middle
class jobs being created are for government workers, many of
whom don't even work. So Trump stopped the Democrat racket
of buying votes with government jobs, and now Doge is
going to save us a trillion dollars as people in
Wisconsin last night for god or didn't care to know

(01:20:52):
us at the elon Musk at the Helm. Instead of
government jobs and menial work for illegal migrants, Trump is
bringing back good pain manufacturing jobs that will breathe life
back into places like JD Vance's hometown and now mine, Middletown,
a poster child for all that's gone wrong with our

(01:21:14):
country under both Democrats and establishment Republicans. So to restore manufacturing,
Trump has been threatening reciprocal terrafs. For example, Europe forever
has been charging a ten percent tariff on Ford and
GM cars, while the US charged just two point five

(01:21:36):
percent on Mercedes. We'll find out this afternoon of Trump
now wants to hike our own tariff to twenty five
percent for cars, and he may also raise terraffs on
supposed allies like Canada for years completely closed off their
market to US dairy products. Reciprocity what you do, will do,

(01:21:57):
what you stop doing, will stop doing. That's rational and defensible.
Reciprocity may get other countries to lower their TIFFs or
escape tariffs all together by moving their plants here, as
many companies have been doing. The problem is When President
Trump says he reserves the right to use tariffs like

(01:22:19):
a club to clobber anyone, maybe the whole world, any amount,
for any reason. This spreads uncertainty. Just look at your
four oh one K Along with fear and loathing. It
makes America look like a bully, a giant that has
Shakespeare warned, is using its strength like a tyrant. Giants

(01:22:41):
don't need to be reasonable and just, but the United
States of America should always be what Ronald Reagan called
the shining city on a hill that uses our strength,
which Trump would call the high cards. We hold justly,
not so we can be suckers the way we were
under Biden and Obama and many previous presidents of both parties.

(01:23:05):
Trump is right to be putt in America first, just
as China and the EU, and leaders everywhere put their
own countries first. But unlike China and the EU, which
both crack down on dissent, we cherish the American ideal
of God given individual rights protected by limited government that

(01:23:27):
has always helped us prevail without being a bully a
tyrannical giant. We don't have to insult to other people.
We can offer to partner or even buy places like
Greenland the way we bought Alaska from Russia. But only
if we persuade and negotiate, not threaten, If only because

(01:23:48):
threats can backfire. Take Canada and full disclosure, Brian, As
you know I love Hallmark movies. Canadians make Trump half joked,
half threat to make Canada our fifty first state when
it's pink poodle. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was already on
the way out. Trump's insults an excessive not reciprocal tariff

(01:24:13):
demands not only made Trudeau a hero again to Canadians,
those insults and threats also wiped out the once huge
lead in polls of his opponents, his conservative opponent, Pierre Poullievoir.
So now Trump's far left successor could win Canada's upcoming election.

(01:24:33):
And this guy, Mark Cardy wants to buddy up with
communist China. America is too good to be a bully.
Donald Trump is too good. So even his most loyal
supporters must ask that Trump be his own best self,
get the best deals, but be what Hamlet called a

(01:24:54):
man who's like we shall not look upon again. What
do you say, my friend?

Speaker 1 (01:25:00):
I couldn't agree more as you started talking about this
and I got the gist of the direction you were going,
I wrote Greenland and Canada down on my little scrap
of paper here, and I you know, I thought he
dropped the ball on both of those. I mean negotiations, yes, wonderful,
embracing reaching out and asking them and talking about, you know,

(01:25:20):
what could we do to improve our relations, not just
say we're going to take Greenland and suggest almost even
like like it was going to be the use of
military forces. Were some imperialist nation like Great Britain was
at one point, and Canada is the fifty first state.
I couldn't agree with you more on that. Where in
the hell did that come from? I mean, the Canadians

(01:25:40):
have a right to their own self determination. Donald Trump's
mere declaration we're going to turn Canada to the fifty
first state, I would have been pissed off. I felt
pissed off that he even said the words out loud,
but certainly as a Canadian if I was, I would
be extraordinarily angry. And in so far as the erosion
of Polliovar's polling numbers, did he ever come out loud
and suggest that he was in any form of agreement

(01:26:02):
with that concept. I don't think so. So I don't
understand the erasure of his lead in the polls that
that's the direction Canada wanted to go because they'd lived
under the socialists that they had elected previously. I don't
understand where the political sentiments have gone merely because Donald
Trump being boisterous and perhaps a bit misguided in his
declarations about Canada is the fifty first state. How that

(01:26:22):
could change one's political philosophy or movement, But apparently it
has done so. And the other thing, the other.

Speaker 9 (01:26:30):
Bullying, ore bullying, is distracting them from the issues. Yeah,
that's what happened in Wisconsin. That's what happens everywhere. As
we've often said, the only way Democrats can win is
by hoping that we failed, that we screw up, and
they don't have to consider policy. But you know there's
something else, Brian. Turning America from a nation that happily

(01:26:51):
shipped our manufacturing jobs overseas, it was good for American manufacturers.
They were able to get dirt sheep labor. We've been
through all this. We discussed the two weeks going to
confind it on your podcast, Agient Mind. But turning America
back into a nation that once again becomes the factory
of the world is going to take more than tariffs.
It will require having the best trained workers, granting access

(01:27:15):
to our own massive energy reserves from coal to nuclear,
and ridding ourselves of needless politicized regulations and spending like
turning around an aircraft carrier. They always like to say,
it's going to take a little time, and it's going
to make a lot of waves. But as you know, Brian,
as everyone including Democrats know, Trump's populist, common sense MAGA policies,

(01:27:41):
which we have to focus on like a laser. They
really can't make America great again.

Speaker 1 (01:27:47):
Yes they can. And the more we do for the
middle class, the better their lives are, the less likely
it is we're going to turn into a bunch of
Marxist Because you've read your Marx I've read my Mars.
The problem that Marxists have and the Communists is a healthy,
comfortable middle class that does not want to engage in
and can't be persuaded by the nonsensical argument of class warfare,

(01:28:09):
which is built on the sin of envy.

Speaker 9 (01:28:13):
Yes, we discussed this last week, brun Yeah, but it's
worth repeating Marx in eighteen forty eight and after predicted
that you would have communism all throughout Union Europe. We
do have some socialism, but nothing like communist revolutions. And
the reason is the Industrial Revolution, for the first time
in Western history, brought middle class mobility. You were no

(01:28:36):
longer just part of a subservient class. If you worked hard,
you studied hard, you didn't have children too early, you
got married, maybe even went to a temple, a synagogue,
a church, a mosque. If your life was centered, you
could move up. Marx didn't anticipate that in the West,
and the Marxists have always tried to prevent it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
Yes they have, and they're still at to this very day.
And the sinister part about this erosion of the middle
class is the erosion of our purchasing power, which is
nefariously achieved through regulations, nonsensical religions like climate change, which
takes more and more of our money away, tax increases.
You know, it's just you know, the less money we have.
I mean, you think about the Green New Deal and

(01:29:21):
the green energy policies which have watered down the currency
because of all the printing of bills to fund that
nonsense that takes away buying power from the middle class
most notably and creates more public people on public dependence
on government. That obviously is the I guess, the direct,
if not intended result of that which makes you reliant

(01:29:42):
on government. I mean, it's just every little bit taken
away in the form of increased cost of doing business,
energy prices going up, taxes going up, is less money
for the middle class and the erosion of the middle class,
And so that helps to serve their ideological goals. And
I to this date don't understand their ideological goals because

(01:30:02):
it ultimately ends in epic failure and economic collapse.

Speaker 9 (01:30:06):
Their goal is easy to see. Their goal is ever
expanding government. They want the poor to be dependent on
government and the rich as well. That's the definition of fascism.
Then you run the technical definition of fascism when the rich, manufacturers,
the industrialists in the country were canned in glove and
are dependent on government.

Speaker 1 (01:30:28):
But the funny and preposterous thing about that is if
people aren't out making money and earning and feeding the system,
the system itself collapses. I mean, you know, like the
Weimar Republic.

Speaker 9 (01:30:42):
Again, remember Brian, the goal of these people. We're going
to talk about this, maybe not next week, but soon.
The most popular historians, they were popular historians, but they
were read by everybody, people like H. G. Wells right
after the First World War and Will Durant, whose series
on civilization lasted all the way through the nineteen sixties.

(01:31:06):
Their goal was one world government. Yeah, so when you say, oh,
the United States may collapse, that's exactly what they expect.
You don't even want because they want to go to
these these enlightened, entitled elites running everything, whether it's in
Brussels or it's in Taiwan, wherever they wind up holding court,

(01:31:28):
there's going to be one government if we follow this
path of the leftists.

Speaker 1 (01:31:32):
Well, good luck with that, because I can't see it
working out the way they perceive it. Jack Avid In
always brilliant. Love having you on the show, My dear friend.
Will look forward to next Wednesday and another Big Picture
with Jack Aviadan. You can find his podcast again on
my podcast page or just search for it where you
find your podcast. Jack, have a wonderful week, my friend.

(01:31:53):
If anybot carosee the talk station, Happy Wednesday, boy. I'm
so glad America for prosperity, Donald and Neil's joining the
program right now. I'm talking about HB ninety six. Welcome back, Donovan.
It's great having you on this morning, Brian. Always good
to be with you. I started off the show on
a bit of an angry note because apparently in this

(01:32:15):
budget bill, I don't know if they're still considering it,
but it's certainly in play. The idea given the Cleveland
Browns six hundred million dollars or some financial assistance so
they can build their two point four billion dollar megaplex
new stadium, and they're seeking one point two billion dollars
in taxpayer money to help fund this this new thing,

(01:32:36):
and a lot of it's coming from the Cuyahoga County,
but at least the state taxpayers look like they may
be on the hook as well. I know this isn't
what you wanted to focus on this morning, but it
certainly got my anger up. Well, yeah, happy to talk
about it now.

Speaker 13 (01:32:49):
You know it's part of the budget, right, and uh y,
but why that was what I planned to talk about, right,
And that's our argument as well.

Speaker 3 (01:32:56):
Six hundred million dollars.

Speaker 13 (01:33:01):
State taxpayers coming out of this budget through bonded issue
to pay for brown Satan. Here's the deal, Brian. These
things never pan out despite the most conservative of conservative
estimates from special interest lobbyists who fight for these things,
right representing the Browns or any other group, they never
pan out the way they're being sold.

Speaker 1 (01:33:21):
And so you mean, are the return on investment? Yeah,
they they always claim the return on investment is going
to far exceed what the taxpayers are out. Oh my god,
it's going to generate so much jobs and so much income.
And that's a lie, that's not ever true. And they
just cook the books and just throw this out there
as if you know, thirteen games or however many games

(01:33:41):
are played in these massive complexes results in this net
advantage to all the taxpayers. It's nonsense.

Speaker 13 (01:33:51):
Yeah, you know, I think you know when you look
at NFL teams, you look at you know, Fortune five
hundred corporations across the bold or these folks continually come
to the taxpayers asking for a handout, asking to be
asking to have their investments covered, and promising economic development
on the back end.

Speaker 4 (01:34:09):
And again, none of.

Speaker 13 (01:34:10):
That stuff ever really pans out as good as it's sold.
We want development, right, we want people to put their
projects here, We want world class facilities. We just don't
want the taxpayers to have to be on the hook
for these things. And I think you look through history
regardless of the way you structure these deals or what
you do, and it never quite hits the way it's

(01:34:31):
that it's sold to the taxpayers, the lawmakers, by the
special interest groups. And so you know, in a budget
that does a lot of things in many ways, some
good things, this is one of those things that I
think folks need to continue to make sure their voice
is heard on and express their their frustrations and concerns.

Speaker 1 (01:34:49):
About all right, well, pivoting over to the subject matter
that you wanted to dwell on in connection with this bill,
let's talk about well funding for schools. I know that
people had some wild ideas about how much money was
going to go to schools, and summer suggesting this is
a decline in amount of spending two hundred and twenty

(01:35:11):
six million dollars sort of burst in the bubble of
some that wanted a whole lot more funding for the
for the schools.

Speaker 13 (01:35:18):
Well, yeah, those folks were making uh you know who
are complaining about that or are frustrated about that increase.
I think are fool issue, Brian, the idea that none
of this stuff is promised at the beginning of the process.

Speaker 1 (01:35:31):
Right, we do a two year budget.

Speaker 13 (01:35:32):
Process, and you know, anybody can say any number they're
looking for they want, but you can't say that, you know,
you wanted a billion and now that they are offering,
they're the proposal is two hundred and fifty million.

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
That they've cut you by seven hundred and fifty million,
right right that.

Speaker 13 (01:35:47):
It's a silly nes The reality is the state spending,
where the state's spending, and that puriament they're making.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Brian, I know where did one point eight billion dollars
come from? I think probably inspired somebody's sphinter, But that's
not connected to anything close to reality.

Speaker 13 (01:36:05):
No, it's not in two hundred and fifty you know
million and some change. Isn't isn't any insignificant amount, especially
when you factor in, you know, appreciate Senate or Speaker
and Finance Chair Brian Stewart mentioning this the school districts
are sitting on a ten billion dollars cash bounce. This

(01:36:25):
is money in the account. Call it a rain day fund,
call it a you know, a savings account. Whatever you
want to call it. The idea here is they got
this cash bounce, and they're sitting on the money. So
I think even the two hundred and fifty million they're
putting to the school districts that are already sitting on
a ton of cash is still two hundred and fifty
million more than we probably really need to be spending there,

(01:36:47):
especially when you look at the need to cut taxes,
rain and spending, and you know, ultimately accomplish what we
think should be done in education, which is funding families
by by making that much you follow the child.

Speaker 1 (01:37:02):
Well, I'm all in favor of that because I believe
in school choice. But you know, I guess the teachers
get a little bit of love. They got increases the
maximum amount of teachers can deduct from their state income
taxes for classroom expenses to a few hundred dollars, which
not bad, but certainly has some limitations. I like the
idea that the state also is reducing the size and
the scope of the Board of Education eleven elected officials

(01:37:23):
and eight appointed members, going down to five appointees. A
small cut, but a cut nonetheless, and I'm not sure
the state Board of Education serves the students in the
schools anyway. Well, and this is.

Speaker 13 (01:37:34):
Something I think they're followed through ass some reforms made
last session where they gotted the state school board because
you really had kind of this situation where when people
need to be held accountable on education outcomes of the state,
people would do that gesture where they're pointing both ways
different ways.

Speaker 1 (01:37:52):
Right.

Speaker 13 (01:37:53):
The reality is, so they moved that under the governor's authority,
so we know that if we're not getting the app
outcomes we're looking for in education in the state, the
governor the executive is ultimately the one accountable, and we
can engage the legislature to hold them accountable. So the
state school board is a redundant function in many ways,
and so right sizing it to serve its purpose, which

(01:38:14):
is licensing of teachers, is a prudent move. You don't
need as many folks drawing a paychecker hanging.

Speaker 1 (01:38:20):
Out in Columbus. Amen to that. Let's pause, We'll bring
Donovan an Neil back. There's more to talk. Oh, we
got to Claremont County Veteran Services next. We can't do that. Well,
let's just pivot over to syntaxes. What is a sin
Donovan and Neil, isn't the beauty in the ivy holder
and isn't sort of a syntax just a justification to
put a tax on literally anything you just designated as
a syntax. Oh yeah, And I mean I'm drinking a

(01:38:42):
cup of coffee in that.

Speaker 13 (01:38:43):
You know, that's sin for some is a sin, right,
But it puts me in a better mood on a
on a gloomy Wednesday morning. No, so, you know, and
that's a thing that I think is really good that
the legislature and was we were meeting with members, they
were you know, they were hearing the message a lot
of care from constituents. Do wine and proposed a number
of different tax increases in his executive version. The House

(01:39:05):
Committee removed all of those tax increases, which is a
good is a good tone to send, right, we don't
need to be increasing taxes here in the state of Ohio.
And Subhouse Bold ninety six does that by it by
removing those from the executive version.

Speaker 1 (01:39:19):
I think they're gone. I don't think we'll see them
come back. But has always remained vigilant, all right, if
there we have a call to action before we part
coming today, Donovan, what is it today to get in
touch with them and tell them not the fund, the
Cleveland Browns or what else.

Speaker 13 (01:39:33):
Well, you could certainly do that, but you know we
are consistently engaged you. There's a number of really good
policy pieces that are moving beyond the budget as well.
Get with get involved with us by going to Buckeye

Buckeye Blueprint dot Com. Buckeye blueprint dot Com. And thanks

(01:39:53):
for AFP's actions and efforts in Wisconsin. I know it
didn't work out, but I know you're responsible for engaging
at least six hundred thousand Wisconsin residents and an effort
to get the conservative justice elected. Of course you were
dealing with an uphill challenge given the state of Wisconsin.
But thanks again for everything you do at Americans for Prosperity.
Donald and Neil will have you on again real soon.

(01:40:15):
Thanks Brian, my pleasure so at thirty seven fifty five
KCD talk station. Thank you Joe Strecker for reminding me
still Steve Belzo Claimant County Veteran Services coming up next
about veteran ID cards. We'll get to that after Affordable
Imaging Services is given. That props for me and getting
ready to have my image done, and I think about
a week CT scan number three at Affordable Imaging Services

(01:40:36):
save myself heap loads of money because if I went
to the hospital, it would probably set me back maybe
five grand, which is just mind blowing to me, since
a Affordable Imaging Services and a CT scan without a
contrast is only four hundred and fifty dollars. You get
a contrast at six hundred. Echo Cardiograms get you right
in the door. You don't have to wait a month

(01:40:56):
like you would at the hospital, and they'll only charge
you five hundred dollars without an enhancement. Eight hundred with
it may set you back as much as thirty five
hundred dollars maybe more at the hospital. Every image at
Affordable Imaging Services comes with a board certified radiologist report
included that you and your doctor will both get within
forty eight hours. I know the prices are hard to believe.
It's very low overhead there, but they have the same

(01:41:17):
kind of equipment hospitals are using, and it's never been
a problem for my physicians with the CT scans I've
gotten there, So go ahead exercise your choice five one
three seven five three eight thousand. That's seven five three
eight thousand. Learn more about pricing and information at the

over a theological conversation having today with Steve Belza for
the Comic County Veteran Services. Welcome back to the show,
by Fred. It's always good having you in.

Speaker 14 (01:42:51):
Thanks Brian. We should have held this on Ash Wednesday.
It'd have been more appropriate. Oh yeah, oh yeah. He
was talking about building it arc I said, well they
got one over in Kentucky, complete with the gift shop,
just like the original art arc head anyway, not going
down that road, because we're talking about Clemont County Veteran Services.
And let me start by thanking you, Steve and everybody
involved with the Climont County Veteran Services. I know you

(01:43:11):
do a wonderful job helping veterans deal with their VA benefits,
helping them get their VA benefits, dealing with paperwork, dealing
with transportation issues, finances all. I mean, it's just a
great thing that you're doing, and more American veterans need
to remember there are the Veteran Services Commissions out there
and they are a well willed machine to help you out.

(01:43:33):
It's the full holistic service towards the veteran. But you're
part of that team as well.

Speaker 1 (01:43:38):
Well, I'm here to spread the word. Man.

Speaker 14 (01:43:41):
They can't get the word unless it's spread. Well, someone
has to be the voice. I am a blessed person
to be able to do this. Well, thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:43:48):
I'm trying to make up for not enlisting my whole life.
I will never be able to overcome the reality that
I didn't enlist and so many people signed on that
bottom line. And I think about it because you know,
the older you, this is why they wouldn't let somebody
like me enlist in the military, because I'm fifty nine
years old and I have a problem with authority.

Speaker 14 (01:44:10):
You know, well, so to many young men and women
coming into the service. It's an adjustment, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:44:16):
It's the kind adjustment you mold young people into proud,
honorable citizens with you know, the ability to perform and
think outside of the box.

Speaker 14 (01:44:28):
And but that's the intent. I want to turn mom
and Dad's son or daughter back to them as a
better citizen of their Sinny County state nation.

Speaker 1 (01:44:39):
Yeah, I know, and it's it really is. I know.
That's why you know your service to the country has
been truly appreciated. I appreciate it. And you're the guy
you are today because of your service. Absolutely, so real quick,
because I know you were there the veterans the memorial
for the fiftieth anniversary of our withdrawal from Vietnam. You
spoke real quick. We'll take a break and then talk
about the veteran IDs. How was it? You know what?

(01:45:02):
It is A one.

Speaker 14 (01:45:03):
I'm a little I've got a thrown on my backside
radio way to say.

Speaker 1 (01:45:08):
I'm pissed.

Speaker 14 (01:45:10):
It bothers me that the Vietnam veterans of America have
to put on their own ceremony because nobody else has
picked it up. And to me, it's continuing, the spit
in the face coming off the aircraft. It just angers me.

Speaker 1 (01:45:29):
It's a good point, in valid right, Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:45:33):
I don't think Marty Brenneman puts on his own ceremony
to welcome him, and a statue someone else is putting
that on. But for some reason, it has to be
incestuous for these Vietnam veterans to have to put on
their own ceremony and that's all that's showing up to
their ceremony.

Speaker 1 (01:45:49):
Okay. And you know it's a valid point because Ken
Williams was on the program last week promoting that.

Speaker 14 (01:45:53):
Oh that Ken Williamson, guy, I tell you, but.

Speaker 1 (01:45:56):
He's with the Vietnam Veterans and Association, And it just
didn't you're the way you put that, it just didn't
dawn on me. That is the reality, right, So I'm
glad you made that point. Maybe more people will consider
that down the road, because the Vietnam veterans were treated
so poorly when they came right.

Speaker 14 (01:46:13):
They were Unfortunately, our government said, hey, we're going to
take thirteen years, and in a thirteen year succession, year
after year, on March twenty ninth, we are going to
celebrate you coming home and fighting for your nation. This
last March twenty ninth marked the thirteenth year. But it
doesn't mean it ends.

Speaker 1 (01:46:32):
There, nor doesn't, well, mor Steve does on the veteran
ID card. We'll get back to the subject matter. He
wanted to come in and talk about spread the word
on that. After a quick word for my dear friends.
At Foreign Exchange, where you're going to get your car
fixed by an a SE certified Master technician traditionally imported
manufactured cars from both Asia and Europe. You'll be glad
you're at Foreign Exchange. And the big difference between Foreign

service is far superior than the dealership. They're like family there.

not gonna pay nearly as much. With car repair prices
going up, just like everything else. It's so important to

come off of the bridge. Southbound seventy five slows through Lachlands.
Southbound seventy one. Now break lights below fields are towards
Fifer Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:48:34):
KRC DE talk station in studio. Veteran Steve Belso with
the Clement County Veteran Services. Apparently there is a problem.
Veterans need to prove that they are a veteran receive
discounts and retail stores and so I guess that requires
the to carry a copy their DD two to fourteen
folded up in their pocket. And apparently that is a problem. Steve,
address that problem and tell about tell my listeners about
the solution.

Speaker 14 (01:48:55):
You know, Brian, this is a it's nice that companies
want to offer. Here's a ten percent discount to a veteran,
right right. Here's a free lunch, free dinner on Veterans
Day Memorial Day.

Speaker 1 (01:49:07):
Yeah, but you have to prove it.

Speaker 14 (01:49:09):
And so veterans are taking their DD two fourteen for
a free meal for fifteen dollars. Here's my DD two
fourteen that create that actually contains all of their personal
identifiable information. Things you don't want on your mailbox, things
you don't want on your front door. Here's my SOB security,
here's my full name, here's my data birth.

Speaker 1 (01:49:28):
And a document. You don't want to lose it.

Speaker 14 (01:49:31):
No, so Claremont County has If you will bring your
DD two fourteen to the register's office, we will actually
produce you a veterans ID card. Now, two things. One,
it's good for local businesses. You can show you're a veteran.
Don't have to carry the DD two fourteen, fold it
up in your pocket. Two, if you have to lose

(01:49:53):
your DD two fourteen, yes you can get another copy,
but wait about six months because you have to go
to the historical branch to see if they can find
it to send you another one.

Speaker 1 (01:50:03):
Right.

Speaker 14 (01:50:04):
And then additionally, carrying around your D two fourteen is
like carrying around your mortgage documents to prove that you
live at your address.

Speaker 1 (01:50:13):
Would you do that? No?

Speaker 14 (01:50:15):
I mean how much stuff is available out of your
your whole mortgage document. And it's the same way from
our service. There are too many predatory companies out there
looking for your information, and people are carrying this DD
two fourteen around. It's it's a gold mine. But then
let's carry it one one step farther. What happens when

(01:50:35):
the when the service member passes and that thing has
been beat up, tattered, unreadable, or stuffed away in your
pocket somewhere or an old wallet, and the family can't
prove you're a veteran. But they want a military funeral.
But to have that they have to prove by your
DD two fourteen you had an honorable discharge. Without it,

(01:50:57):
you're not getting it. So already we've got the drama
of dad mom passing away. We can't find the DD
two fourteen. People want to scramble do the ceremony anyways. No,
that's integrity, No, prove it right, And it's unfortunate you
have to be that stalwart with the family. But yet,
if you'd brought it to the county and receive a

(01:51:18):
veterans ID card, the county makes an electronic record in
County Depository, so that when Uncle Joe passes, the family
goes to the registrar. Can you print us off at
d D two fourteen for funeral home X y Z
And then it's forward moving.

Speaker 1 (01:51:35):
Oh that's great, well oiled machine.

Speaker 14 (01:51:37):
Then yes, yes, so twofold purpose of goodness.

Speaker 1 (01:51:41):
Well, that's fantastic. So DD two fourteen. Two forms of
identification like a driver's license, passport, or berth certificate to
the Claremont County Recorder's Office and they'll print you out
a free Veterans ID card. That's right, That's all there
is to it. So there is Well, that's wonderful, free
service for our American veterans making their lives easier and
of course more secure. You know, we talked with Dave

(01:52:02):
Hatter every Friday on this program Tech Friday, and when
you mentioned all, I didn't realize the DD two to
fourteen had all that information in it. So this is
really important because there's so many evil folks out there
that can use that for nefarious purposes.

Speaker 14 (01:52:15):
Absolutely stolen identity, stolen. I'll take it and just wide
it out and put their stuff in And now they're
marching round as if they're a veteran.

Speaker 1 (01:52:22):
And well, that's wonderful. I can't thank you enough for
bringing this to everybody's attention veterans out there. It's so
easy to do. Now. Is this just something that's available
to the Claremont County Recorder's Office or am can I
Hamilton County veterans go to the Hamilton County Veteran Services or.

Speaker 14 (01:52:37):
Great question there is This was actually an initiative to
my understanding to my understandings by Ohio county organizations. I
guess there's an umbrella over the counties, right, other than
the governor himself.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
Right, You're not just speaking of the Clarmont County Veteran residence.
This is information that all my veterans in the audience
can use the state of Ohio anyway. Correct.

Speaker 14 (01:53:02):
So each county has been sent this problication to say, hey,
this is what you can do, this is where you
get the ID cards. This would be beneficial for your veterans.
I would assume that my brothers and sisters and the
other counties are doing the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:53:17):
Okay, veterans, it's at least worth looking into it. Is well, Steve,
can't thank you enough for this is great, a great idea,
and of course securing the American veterans identity and just
making it a lot easier that they can take advantage
of the wonderful businesses out there that are offering discounts.
You know, it's just a little extra perk for you
serving your country and to all the businesses out there

(01:53:38):
that are doing that. God bless each and every one
of you. And if you're a business out there that
offering a good or service, why don't you consider also
offering a discount for the American veterans. That's right, doesn't
hurt anything, and it adds to your company's goodwill. It does,
it does.

Speaker 14 (01:53:51):
But then when you consider your big box stores, Low's
Home depot, they're not going to accept your little ID card.
They won't take my retire ID card. I have to
get an id me. It's an application where you go
in and they validate that you are a veteran that
served honorably. They then validate for Loew's and Home depot

(01:54:12):
for you to register for that discount.

Speaker 1 (01:54:15):
Okay, how do you get an id me?

Speaker 2 (01:54:18):
So?

Speaker 14 (01:54:19):
An id me is a online app. You can do
through a computer, you can do through your cell phone.
And what you do is you put in some of
your basic information that they're going to ask you. They
go back into records and then validate yes, you are
a veteran.

Speaker 1 (01:54:32):
Okay, all right. Steve Belzo, thank you so much for
your service or country and your ongoing service for the
American veterans at the Clermont County Veteran Services. You know
you've always got a welcome opportunity on the program anytime
something like this comes up. Appreciate you doing that so much. Sure,
take care, my dear friend. Empower You. Following the Trump campaign,
we'll hear from Epic or Epoch, depending on how you

(01:54:53):
like to pronounce it. Times reporter Janis Heizel after the
top of the our news, followed by Judge of Paulatano
at eight thirty. I'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (01:54:59):
Covering Trump's first one hundred days day, every day, Promises made,
promises kept. Fifty five KRC, the Talk Station. This par
Donald trumps, the economy, recession looming, What happens next? Watch
what happens will happen right here on fifty five KRC,
The talk station.

Speaker 1 (01:55:20):
Ato six at fifty five KRC, the Talk Station, A
very happy Wednesday to you, Judgejennenapolatano every Wednesday, bottom of
the hour. Gotta wait for that, and I know you will.
But in the meantime, I'm so pleased to welcome to
the fifty five RC Morning Show, doing an empower You
seminar tomorrow night, beginning at seven pm, following Trump on
the campaign trail. My guest today Janis Heisel, who will
provide a lengthy discussion upon this tomorrow night. You can

(01:55:43):
show up live or in person empower Youamerica dot org.
You need to register whether you're showing up in person
or going to be logging in from home former President
Donald Trump. She was on the campaign trail for the
twenty twenty four general election ballot and related issues before
joining the Epoch or Epic Times. We'll learn what she
calls it. Worked for more than two decades as a
reporter for newspapers here in Ohio, and also has authored

(01:56:04):
several books. Welcome to the morning, Welcome to the program,
Janis Heisel. Before we get to Donald Trump and the
campaign trail, is it epic or epoch? I've looked online.
Pronunciation can be either way. How do you pronounce it?
Good morning, Janis?

Speaker 15 (01:56:18):
Well, if you are a British issue, because hey, epoch
it sounds a lot more posh. But if you're more
American market, you can say epic.

Speaker 1 (01:56:28):
All right.

Speaker 15 (01:56:29):
That's how I look at it.

Speaker 1 (01:56:30):
I choose the British pronunciate epoch because I want people
to know how to spell it, because if you say epic,
I'm afraid they're going to go to the Epic Epic
Times dot com, which won't take you to the The
Epoch Times dot com, which they should go to because
it's a wonderful source of excellent information and reporting. I
salute you Janis for working there. I do I do

(01:56:52):
log into your site every single day in preparation for
the fifty five KRC morning Show. So good work you're
doing there.

Speaker 15 (01:56:59):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:57:00):
I'm really glad to hear that.

Speaker 1 (01:57:01):
It's a worthy side of visiting. I consult all types
of sites, from the most conservative to the most liberal,
to kind of give me a broader perspective of what
people are talking about and their take on various issues.
So turning to the campaign, and apparently you spent a
lot of time on the campaign trail, and I get
the impression that if you're not hiding out and running

(01:57:22):
a campaign from a basement, it's hard work running for president.

Speaker 15 (01:57:26):
Oh my lord, I got to tell you, you know,
even though I've been a reporter for thirty years, including
fifteen at the since then Enquirer, before I came here,
nothing prepared me for this role I had that I
was both blessed and cursed with. It was the most

(01:57:47):
challenging thing I've done in my thirty year career, and
in fact, I'd like to read a quick quote from
one of my stories. The twenty twenty four Road to
the White House has been riddled with more potholes, land mindes,
and detour than anyone could have imagined. And that is
so true. I was there for all of it, almost
all of it. There were a few things I wasn't

(01:58:08):
able to cover because of logistics, like you know, you
can't get from here to there in time, or I
had some vacations or whatnot. Very few, but man, it
was crazy. I covered sixty Trump events in person and
several dozen more like remotely, like using you know, a
live stream or whatever. So it was it was quite

(01:58:28):
an ordeal. I ended up traveling enough miles to go
around the world three point two times.

Speaker 1 (01:58:34):
Oh my word. Well, and I know the burning question
on my listener's mind right now, July thirteenth, twenty twenty four,
when Donald Trump almost lost his life, were you there?

Speaker 15 (01:58:45):
Oh gosh, yes, I was definitely going to point that out,
but yeah, it was. I even wrote a rare first
person account of my experiences because I had a little
bit of a different experience where I was in the
sea Trump. Where I was, they keep a lot of
the print reporters way back behind where the TV cameras

(01:59:06):
are all set up, and so all we could see
where I was the crowd and I you know this,
these TV the big screens that they have, the monitors
is all we could see. And there was an immigration chart,
the one that he credits was saving his life. Yeah,
turned to look at it and just that weird experience
of being in this information vacuum. At first people thought

(01:59:27):
maybe it was firecrackers. Other people thought maybe it was
somebody opening fire in the crowd itself, because you couldn't
tell the way the sound echoed exactly what was going on.
It was really terrifying. And it was the first time
in my career that I was in the middle of
an active shooting. And there is nothing that can prepare

(01:59:49):
you for that. It gives me much more. I always
respected the good guys in law enforcement and in our military,
but my goodness, gave me new respect for those people
who literally put themselves in the line of fire. I
later learned I wasn't in the line of fire myself,
thank goodness, but just being there was truly terrifying. I

(02:00:13):
was trembling underneath the table, trying to figure out in
mind races, you wonder what in the world is going on?
People are screaming, you know, there's just no information at
all where I was about what was really happening.

Speaker 1 (02:00:26):
All that had to be just absolutely insane because beyond
the cameras, folks with the clear view of the stage
and Donald Trump, they obviously could see exactly what happened.
It would be so strange to be in your situation
to hear the gunfire and see people's reaction but not
really have a connection with exactly what was going on.

Speaker 15 (02:00:45):
Yeah, it was very frustrating as just even a human being.
But then as a reporter, after I came out from
underneath the table and thought maybe I should go hide
someplace elf, because it was a small wood like a wooden,
thin table. People were yelling to me, ma'am, did Trump
get shot? And I had to say I didn't know.
And so my instincts as a reporter to get the story.

(02:01:07):
We're competing, of course, with your instincts to literally just survive,
you know, because you don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (02:01:15):
Unbelievable. Well, pivoting away from July thirteenth, Yeah, you were
at a total of like sixty events did you get
access to Donald Trump? Did you ever able to engage
in a sort of a one on one Q and
A with him on any level?

Speaker 15 (02:01:32):
Well, you know that is of course every reporter wants
that a lot of people don't realize, including I didn't
realize that there are hundreds of reporters that show up
at almost all of these events. It was literally crazy
to try to even get any access at all. There
were only a few press gaggles. Like if you're set

(02:01:54):
way back in the middle of some big arena, you're
never going to get the chance to you know, talk
to him. And this was my biggest handicap is that
I was a political national politics newcomer, even though I've
been in the business thirty years. I covered mostly, you know,
cops and courts here locally, and you know, this was
an entirely different stage. And yeah, of course I go

(02:02:14):
into this and I'm collecting. You know, here's what I
would ask him if I get that interview. I finally, finally,
towards the very end of the campaign, I kept trying
and trying to get even a question in. You're yelling,
mister President, and he's not recognizing you. He's recognizing you know,
the the quote unquote big media outlets that are you know,

(02:02:36):
We're actually a fairly good size one. But he's you know,
the ones that come to mine at Fox News, you know,
even CNN. You know, those types of reporters are getting
those questions in and he is not recognizing me. And finally,
in Swanna Noah, North Carolina, where the hurricane hit, I
was able to get a question. I was determined this

(02:02:58):
was right prior to the election. I'm going I am not,
you know, ending this election season without at least asking
him a question. I did ask him, and unlike a
lot of reporters, I'm very proud of this, I asked
him in a very non judgmental way, none of my opinion,
you know in the injected into the question. I simply

(02:03:20):
asked him, you know, mister president, we are here because
you said you are you wanted to see this damage,
and you're actually, you know, so impressed by the fact
that people lost everything and still early voted. What would
you like to say to those voters right now? And
he gave me a pretty extensive answer, which hello Trump

(02:03:43):
usually does, but I managed to squeeze it in a
second question and said, so how does this damage compare
to other, you know, disaster areas that you have toured.
And he answered that saying that what was weird about
this It was very random and like you know, you know,
it wasn't random like a tornado where sometimes one house

(02:04:05):
would be skipped and then the other house would be destroyed.
This was a wide swat of just devastation as far
as you could see. And so he shared that, and
that was that was quite an experience to have him,
you know, say, and when I say, mister President, yes,
you know, and he spoke a talking to me, wow,
you know, but you know that might sound silly to

(02:04:26):
have that as being, you know, something that I worked
so hard to get, but it is harder to even
get that question asked than most people ever imagine, including
me having been in the news business hall these years.

Speaker 1 (02:04:37):
Well, that's what's going to be neat about your your
presentation tomorrow evening, because you get you give people sort
of the real life world of a reporter, what you
have to go through and uh sort of the challenges
that you face. And clearly you've illustrated one of the
challenges your your competition is all over the place. So
now in terms of the number of events you went

(02:04:58):
to sixty did it? This wouldn't be a criticism of
Donald Trump, because I have to imagine that, you know,
there's only so much you can say on the campaign trail.
But he does go off script and he doesn't rely
as much on a monitor. And I wanted to see
if that was in fact true, because I get the
impression that Donald Trump's just going to say what's on
Donald Trump's mind. He knows where he is on policies
and positions. He doesn't need to read it directly off

(02:05:21):
of a teleprompter, although he does. I guess he relies
on it sometimes. But did it become sort of redundant,
like Okay, here's event number forty seven and I know
exactly what he's going to say, or did he kind
of change it up regularly.

Speaker 15 (02:05:35):
He actually did manage to squeeze in a number of
new policy positions. So a lot of times he would
do that, you know, it would sort of become a theme.
Now he did, you know, kind of have your normal
stump speech. Things that he would say pretty much over
and over about immigration, and these things always got large
applause when he would say no men and women's sports

(02:05:58):
applause and cheers, you know, so that that was one
of the biggest applause lines every time he said it.
But he did, for example, when he was in Las Vegas.
I think that venue he chose it to unveil his
no tax on tips because of heavy you know how
much Las Vegas relies on tourism and service workers like

(02:06:19):
people who work in restaurants and bars, and you know
the wonderful Broadway shows things like that, uh so Broadway
tych shows in Las Vegas. So he he did taylor
a lot of his remarks to the specific place that
you know, I noticed that. And yes, he did tend
to go off off script quite a bit. I did

(02:06:43):
occasionally get the Trump team to provide me with an
advanced copy of his speech, but you know, it was
usually just excerpts, and you could never necessarily count on
that he would say these exact things because of that
tendency of his to go off script to kind of meander.

(02:07:03):
Some people call it, you know, you would say that
he seems scatterbrained, but he calls it purposeful. He calls
it the weave where he weaves into other segue and
then comes back and he says, it takes skill to
come back to where you were.

Speaker 1 (02:07:18):
Well, I don't know if you agree with me or not,
but I because of my hours, I get up at
two thirty in the morning, so quite often I miss
the actual speeches, the presidential addresses, you know, the state
of the nation type of things, because I go to
about at eight. But then I will read the full transcript.
And the one thing I noticed about Trump, he comes
across much better when you're hearing him live, because you know,

(02:07:39):
being a man of words that I am, and my
prior background as a lawyer, I you know, I'm very
cognizant and aware of grammar and use and structure in sentences,
and his doesn't translate on paper as well as it
does when he's in person.

Speaker 15 (02:07:54):
You know. That seems to be something I've actually heard
other people comment on as well. People tell me there's
nothing like a Trump rally, that it's not the same,
you know, just you know, reading an article or getting
a little snippet of what he said. I do feel
like that, based on my you know, observations prior to
covering this campaign, just as a citizen noticing the political process,

(02:08:19):
that he did seem to be somewhat more on point
with a lot of his messaging. Like I said, they
were the messages a lot of times were targeted to
this specific place. It seemed to me more specific. Maybe
I just paid more attention because I was happy to
cover it.

Speaker 1 (02:08:38):
I got you well, honestly, I'm probably speaking with someone
who's got more experience with live Donald Trump's speeches than
virtually anybody in the nation now in terms of media bias.
And I know you're going to talk about this more
at length again tomorrow beginning at seven pm empower you
America dot org. Being surrounded by all those reporters since
you just mentioned them, did you could you hear their bias?

(02:09:00):
I mean, certainly comes across from their reporting. And I'm
sure there were a lot of traditionally, you know, the
mainstream media and or left winging rags out there to
covering his speeches. Did did did they make comments or
get to give a sense of media bias? You know
during the chatter that you were exposed to.

Speaker 15 (02:09:19):
I didn't pay a lot of attention to other media
because I was so focused on what I was doing.
But there were times when I would hear grumbling, I
would see people This part really bothered me just because
regardless of who is speaking, whether it's a candidate you
love or hate, they were not standing up for the

(02:09:41):
national anthem, a lot of them not, you know, not,
or the pledge of allegiance, that kind of you know,
just I felt steamrolling off my head when I would
notice some of those people was sitting there. And to me,
it's just not respectful because hello, we all are st
bizens of this country and we are practicing a profession

(02:10:03):
enshrined in our first amendments, amens, and you know, you know,
to me, there needs to be respect for that, regardless
of how you feel about the candidate who is on
that stage.

Speaker 1 (02:10:14):
Well, it's going to be a wonderful presentation. Empoweroamerica dot
orger is where you register. I encourage my listeners to

He tailors his traffic reports too. You have to understand that,
as E mentioned, of course, which.

Speaker 6 (02:13:00):
I let down when he said my favorite thought. I
was gonna say my favorite day of the week, and
it's his favorite day of the year, peanut butter and
jelly sandwich in the news room.

Speaker 1 (02:13:09):
Well, you know, I can always say it's my favorite
day of the week. I always love our conversations. I
love your fundamental, profound appreciation for the founding document of
our country, the Constitution United States of America, and of
course the Bill of Rights, God given and rights not
created by government, but given to us by virtue of
our being. The government did not give to us, but

(02:13:32):
the document protects us from government having trying to take
them away. But that pesky constitution, you're honor, That pesky constitution,
your honor, is not expedient politically. It requires you to
go through certain hoops in order to preserve and protect
those fundamental rights. And when you have to do nothing

(02:13:52):
Congress and does nothing but bicker and argue and can't
get things accomplished by way of legislation, it empowers the
executive brand you do exactly what we're talking about today.
Your column Taking the Constitution Seriously, which comes out tonight
that I'm lucky enough to get an advanced copy of
Judge Ednapolitano.

Speaker 16 (02:14:09):
Well, you know, I was furious at the comments of
Caroline Levitt, a very articulate and forceful defender of the president.

Speaker 6 (02:14:21):
She says Press secretary, saying that because an individual is
a bad person, he can be deported. Well, we don't
operate that way, and we haven't operated that way since
seventeen seventy six when we struck a match that started
a war against Great Britain based on the Declaration of Independence,

(02:14:43):
and then again in seventeen eighty nine when we ratified
the Constitution. A person is not worthy of punishment of
any sort until after due process. This government doesn't seem
to care about that. That's problem number one, Problem number two.
Much of these punishments, and they are severe, sending someone

(02:15:05):
to a hellhole in El Salvador, which would be illegal
and unconstitutional in the United States based on speech which
is protected from federal evaluation or insulation or interference or
retribution by the First Amendment. These are very dangerous times

(02:15:28):
when the government thinks it can get away for it,
and thank God for federal judges who are doing their
best to interfere with it. I say doing their best.
This administration doesn't even follow the orders of federal judges.
The guy who was living peacefully with his American wife
and American born children in Maryland, working several jobs and

(02:15:52):
paying taxes was just swooped up off the streets by
massed men who were agents of the Department of Homeland
Security in defiance of the order of a federal immigration
judge not to deport this person. The federal immigration judge
held a hearing and concluded that he is a valid

(02:16:18):
recipient of asylum escaping gangs in El Salvador, whereas he
now he's surrounded by a gang in l Salvador, in
a prison where people are stocked in like sardines.

Speaker 1 (02:16:32):
Lawful resident of the United States, not a citizen, but
a lawfully here person. Now, you know, many of my
listeners probably completely and wholeheartedly disagree with the words he uttered.
But you know, I have to listen to words being
uttered on national news that I wholeheartily disagree with every
single day because you get a one sided journalistic perspective.

(02:16:53):
And I am a libertarian minded person and disagree with
their big government approach to life. They can say whatever
they want. We talked about Brandenburg multiple times over the
years with you about you can say some terrible, hateful
things in public, but it doesn't subject you to arrest.

Speaker 6 (02:17:10):
You know, to our conservative Republican friends, which is probably
the base of your listening audience, A listening audience that
I respect and admire and enjoy the privilege of appearing
in front of on Wednesday mornings, this is very dangerous stuff.

(02:17:31):
Just think if Kamala Harris had been elected president and
began locking people up because of the speech that your
audience loves. We now have a president who is locking
people up because of the speech that your audience hates.
Which is why the speech we love needs no protection.
The speech we hate needs protection. And that's why the

(02:17:53):
First Amendment keeps the government out of the business of
evaluating speech. Whether the president is Donald Trump or Kamala Harris,
US George W. A. Porshore, Barack Obama, none of them
has any right to evaluate and punish speech. In America,
you can say whatever you want, and the First of
amem protects everyone here, even those unlawfully here. In the

(02:18:16):
case we're talking about he's lawfully here.

Speaker 1 (02:18:18):
Well, haven't we been down this road before the McCarthy
era for example, I mean they were hauling people in
front of Congress and accusing them of being communists and
you know, no communists to buy, no supporter of the
Communist Party, am I. But you know what, if you
want to be a commune in the United States of America,
you're free to do that.

Speaker 6 (02:18:36):
Correct. We have not seen punishment for speech, or, in
the case of my alma mater, Princeton University, punishment for
silence their refusal to condemn the anti Semitism to satisfy
the executive branch of the government. We have not seen

(02:18:56):
this level of interference with speech in America in nearly
seventy five years since the McCarthy era, which is early
nineteen fifties.

Speaker 1 (02:19:07):
Well, pivot over to speech versus conduct. And I understand
the point about free speech, and you can have you
can go scream free Palestine or you know, get rid
of Israel all day long, and that is protected. But
the minute you start engaging in acts of violence or
interference against your perceived foe, in this case Jewish students,

(02:19:30):
that can be something that is worthy of stopping or protecting.
So there's sort of a fine line between what's protected
and what isn't.

Speaker 6 (02:19:38):
Well, you're exactly You're exactly correct. No one unless you're
in the business of starting a revolution, would defend violence
against people. If you're going to engage in violence, you
better win, because if you don't win, you're going to
go to jail, because violence is a crime. Now, some
violence has a happy ending, like the American revel but

(02:20:00):
if we had lost that, Jefferson and his buddies would
have been hanged. Yes, so when you strike at the king,
you must kill him. But speech that encourages and succeeds
in encouraging violence is not protected under brandon Burg. None
of these people has been accused of that. None. They've

(02:20:23):
all been accused of either behavior in which they engaged
before they came here, like this guy from Maryland, or
words that the Fed's found offensive, like the professor of
medicine at Brown, the Columbia student, and the Tufts student.
The Tufts student was particularly repellent because her arrest by

(02:20:51):
and her screaming because she didn't know what was happening.
I don't know why, why do they show up in
civilian clothes and with masks on. Why do they have
to terrify you know, this is a young woman who
had just fasted for a month through Ramadan, who was
going to the celebratory breaking of the fast when they

(02:21:14):
just whisker into a van and shipped her to Louisiana.

Speaker 1 (02:21:18):
Well, this is not America.

Speaker 6 (02:21:20):
This government does not care about due process. The premise
of the Constitution, the premise of the Fifth Amendment is
that no government can be trusted to prosecute and punish
the right person, which is why everyone, everyone, is entitled
to a hearing before the government interferes with life, liberty,

(02:21:43):
or property. Brian, you get a hearing before they take
your driver's license away. You're certainly titled entitled to a
hearing before they whisk you from your home to a hellhole.

Speaker 1 (02:21:56):
Yeah, well you didn't call looking for an argument. This
is you and I are the eye to eye on
that one. Now, let's real quick here. In the remaining moments,
we have the guy who went online on social media
and was telling people to shoot ice agents. Kind of
get into a close call on that one. I mean,

(02:22:17):
we do have time to a close call.

Speaker 6 (02:22:19):
Brandenburg, the case that you mentioned a unanimous opinion still
controlling law taking place in Hamilton County, Ohio. I think
I have the county right. Yeah, says that if there's
time tim for more speech to rebut the offending speech,

(02:22:39):
the offending speech is not I cannot form the basis
for a prosecution. So if this nutjob says shoot ICE
agents and there's time for somebody else to say, wait
a minute, what are you crazy, his speech is protected.
If there's no time. If somebody here's that speech and
shoots ICE agents, he can be prosecuted. That's the lesson
of Brandenburg.

Speaker 1 (02:23:00):
It's always tough call when you're coming to the Constitution,
and again I think they just fall back on it's
politically expedient to just violate the Constitution, and that's why
it's quite often gotten away with JUDG. Paulic Well.

Speaker 6 (02:23:14):
The president. The president, and I know him and like
him and to share many of his views. Is of
the opinion that because he had eighty million votes for
election or re election, his words can trump the Constitution.
No pun intended trump right. Nobody can trump the Constitution.

(02:23:35):
The constitutionist the supreme law of the land. He took
a public oath and even signed one to preserve, protect
and defend.

Speaker 1 (02:23:42):
It, as did every anti gun confiscating Democrat who wants
to take away our Second Amendment rights. Same thing applies
across the board. Judge Anapolitano Judging Freedoms of podcast Look Forward.

She must be Jess Obert, who is the mother of
Peyton of Peyton Lemonade stan Fame. Welcome back, Jess. It's
great to have you on the program this morning.

Speaker 2 (02:24:59):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (02:25:00):
She's so much for having me, And.

Speaker 1 (02:25:01):
I'll encourage all of my listeners to help out. It's
Peyton's pa y t o n as Peyton's Lemonade Stand
dot org and you are rocking the world. This all
started in twenty eighteen when your six year old daughter
got a gift when she was a children's hospital of
a teddy bear and it just warmed her heart so
much that she wanted to give back, so she opened
a lemonade stand, took in her first year, got seven

(02:25:24):
hundred and sixty eight bucks to benefit the charity of
her children's hospital, and it's just blown up since then.
Tell my listeners how much she took in last year
with all the help of so many listeners and businesses
like King's Island even was involved last year.

Speaker 8 (02:25:40):
Yeah, yeah, so it grew since twenty eighteen. So you
mentioned she had one stand in our driveway that summer. Well,
last summer she had ninety stands all throughout Cincinnati and
northern Kentucky and in three hours re raised over one
hundred and twenty five thousand dollar.

Speaker 1 (02:26:02):
Again, I had you on last year and there was
a lemonade stand down in little old Loveland, and I
lived very close to Loveland, and yeah, I went down
there and of course made a contribution. And I just
can't one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in three hours,
that's just truly amazing. So over the years collectively, do
you know how much you've taken in.

Speaker 8 (02:26:23):
Oh gosh, we're closing in on probably about eight hundred.

Speaker 1 (02:26:29):
Thousand, oh my word.

Speaker 4 (02:26:31):
Yeah, and you.

Speaker 8 (02:26:31):
See a lemonade stance and all the fundraisers that we do.

Speaker 1 (02:26:35):
And so you've expanded. I know you you turned into
a five oh one C three back in twenty twenty one.
This is going to be the eighth annual AM I
correct July twenty sixth of this year. So this I'm
giving everybody advanced notice because you can help out. You
can open up your own lemonade stand take in money
for this wonderful charity. It's July twenty sixth. Save the date.

(02:26:55):
At least get out and buy some lemonade from a
Peyton's Lemonade stand because trust me, there's going to be
one or you.

Speaker 8 (02:27:02):
Yeah, we have the map online, so closer to July
twenty sixth, we'll have a map showing all of the
locations for the stands. So certainly there will be one
in your neighborhood, right around the corner at a local
business close to you. So yeah, we really encourage you

(02:27:24):
to come out on July.

Speaker 1 (02:27:25):
Twenty six And it's not too late for someone to
set up a stand for the benefit of Peyton's Lemonade Stand.

Speaker 8 (02:27:31):
Correct, No, it's not too late to sign up the host,
and it's not too late to become a sponsor. You know,
we had over twenty local businesses last summer who sponsored
this event, and really it's through their invaluable help that
allows us to put on an event of this magnitude.

Speaker 1 (02:27:51):
Yeah, it really is a lot of work, more work
than I think anybody really appreciates. Until you've done something
like this, you're like, oh my god, I didn't realize
what it.

Speaker 8 (02:27:59):
Was getting into right right, and we give the host, Brian,
everything they need to host the stand. So we make
it we make it very easy for you.

Speaker 1 (02:28:11):
So all you need to do is volunteer by going
to Peyton's Lemonade Stand dot org and either signing up
as a sponsor or tell them that you want to
do a lemonade stand. And wow, Peyton was recognized. I
understand she won an award recently.

Speaker 17 (02:28:26):
Well, yeah, so she last fall was recognized as the
Young Philanthropist of the Year in Cincinnati by the Association
of Fundraising Professionals here in Cincinnati.

Speaker 8 (02:28:43):
And then just last week we flew to New York
City to be on the Cameron Hall Show.

Speaker 1 (02:28:47):
Oh wow, well, congratulations on that. You know, this is
the kind of thing that could go nationwide because I
have friends that are involved in cancer research, lost their
daughter to pediatric brain cancer. Started the care starts now
which is now global, and you know just started here locally,
so you're already all over Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. So

(02:29:09):
with getting that kind of national exposure, this thing could
be epic. And going back to your establishment as a
five oh one C three, it started out with this
proceeds going to the Children's Hospital Medical Center. Have you
expanded the recipients the charities that that go ahead and
tell my listeners who else might might get some of
the funding?

Speaker 8 (02:29:27):
Oh yeah, So when we became a five on one
C three, we expanded our mission to include more kids.
So in addition to helping kids in the hospital, we're
helping kids facing medical, personal, and economic hardships. So what
that means is, you know, we're we're helping kids who
are experiencing homelessness, We're helping kids in the foster care system,

(02:29:48):
We're helping kids and underfunded schools. And it's all here locally,
So there's thousands of kids who benefit from the funds that.

Speaker 15 (02:29:59):
We raise at year.

Speaker 1 (02:30:01):
Do you have a goal for this year's farms? If
you got one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in
three hours last year, what are you looking for this year?

Speaker 17 (02:30:10):
You know, I tend not to set goals because I
would hate to disappoint the kids in.

Speaker 15 (02:30:17):
The Stans if we don't reach the goal.

Speaker 8 (02:30:20):
But I always just say, we always try to beat
the total from the previous year, and we've never not
done that.

Speaker 1 (02:30:27):
I was gonna say, you got to proven track record
every single year it grows substantially. So you got one
hundred grand and twenty twenty three, one hundred and twenty
five grand last year, so let's just say I'm pretty
sure you're going to get one hundred and fifty this year.
That's my goal for you. And don't hold it against
me if you don't get it. But my listeners will
help out. And I know there's a business out there

(02:30:49):
that's going to go, hey, you know what, why not?
It's so easy to either help with the organization or
set up a stand. You'll get customers in your in
your business just to buy some lemonade. They might buy
some them off your shelves, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (02:31:02):
I can't tell you how many, but we have so
many boutiques in at the host and they they love
that day one because they're giving back, but to their
stores packed, I know, with people who come in and
want to want to donate. And another thing for sponsors,
for businesses to sponsor, it's great publicity because we are
in every single part of Cincinnati, so it's a great

(02:31:26):
way to get.

Speaker 15 (02:31:26):
Your name out there.

Speaker 1 (02:31:27):
Well how about that? See you know generated interest right there? Jess,
Jess Obert got to be so proud of what Peyton
was able to accomplish along with your help and the
help of so many others volunteers. You know, be a sponsor,
set up a stand, anyway you do it, just get
to Peyton's Lemonade Stand dot or. Joe will put a
link to your organization on my blog page as well. Jess,
so make it really easy for people. Can't remember that.
