We're growing that into Netflix for people who love America.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
That's great. That's great, and that's a great way to
describe it. Thank you, you know. I mean, it's that
really drives home exactly what you're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
These are my two calling cards. It's Netflix for people
who love America. And just say no to spider districts.
No one wants spider districts.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You also have a gig coming up on Friday in.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Dayton, in Dayton, where I will be saying no to
spider districts. No one issue Dayton this Friday. I think
it's going to be I think it's going to be
a big, big show. Make sure you get your dicks
where are you there the Funny Bone, The Funny Bone
and Bunny Bone Comedy Club. I have not been there
in a long time. Same owners here, stoked or no
different owner. Sorry, he's a very good question.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You need to put you on. No, they have it.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
They have them kind of you know, parsed out, but
it's a it's a wonderful group of comedy clubs. I
need to come back to this one. Come on, Columbus, the.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Very Yeah, the very first. Like I'll go all the
way back to my very first radio gig, Oldies days.
I was twenty and I was hosting at It used
to be in a inside of a hotel that was
near seventy one and either one sixty one.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
And more Ramada. Yes, you remember that comedy club at
the Ramada.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yes, that's Wheah.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
One of my first gigs was there.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So I hosted a gig there and when I went in,
I wasn't even they had to like put a wristband
because they were like, you're technically not even supposed to
be in here. It's twenty one and up. But I
was there to like host the night. I wasn't doing
any stand up or warming up wild West. It was crazy.
Was I was like, I promise I won't drink that much.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It was fun, but that's that's my very first and
I used to get because they would play that curly
shuffle as like the intro to do the shovel.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, like they were playing and that. Whenever I would
hear that song from there, I was like, oh, I'd
be so nervous because I knew I was my first
radio gap. I'm going on stage. I'm like, these people
are expecting me to be funny, and I'm not going
to be funny. I'm just the radio guy. I'm like hosting, Like, okay,
let me bring out somebody who is funny.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And now look at you. You went from a guy
who had like a Pavlovian experience with a curly shuffle
to now you're the host of the number one late
night talk show in Columbus.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's a journey.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Gar's you writing a book about this? Teach me your ways.
I need to teach me your gambling ways. Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
State auditor Keith Faber is in studio with us as well,
And so there were people who wanted to ask you
some questions about issue one, and you were kind enough
to stop in today, auditor Faber and kind of set
us straight, if you will. There are a lot of
people who still don't understand when they look at, you know,
on TV, they're seeing these ads and it's yes, yes, yes,
(03:29):
yes yes, and they make it look like I'm supposed
to be doing that for people. It's very confusing.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Just remember Donald Trump says no, no, no no. We
say no no, no no. This is a bait and
switch trojan horse. They're trying to convince you that this
is going to somehow make your life better, and what
it's really designed to do is to make your life worse.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, yeah, no question, Tommy, Thank you for waiting. And
what are your you have questions or comments or what
you got guys?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
I love your show. Thanks, I will talk fast. There's
a lot of people Number one, as far as issue
one goes, I would be curious to hear his response
to what I don't get is why don't we just
go to majority? One hundred says yes, one hundred one
says no, we all win. You know what I'm saying.
I don't understand this whole districting thing. And I don't
think a lot of people do. Why don't we just
(04:18):
go to majority? And I mean not in Ohio, the
whole country. Secondly, I would like one thing to be
said and maybe some point discussed on your program, because
you guys are really good about this. Someone needs to
look at Timothy Mellon. Listen. There are as many bad
people that support the Dems that support the Republicans, and
(04:38):
that's the problem.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
There's too much.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Money going both ways. But when you talk about this
districting thing, people are trying to figure out why are
we why can't we just be a majority? And I
would love to hear his explanation as to explaining to
me the district. I don't understand it. I'll let you
guys talk, all.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Right, Tommy, thanks very close to Wolfman Jack right there
by the way, that guy I just wanted to Yeah great.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
You know, look, the simplest answer is, if you really
want to go to this concept of proportionality, just eliminate
districts all together. Have fifteen statewide congressional seats and ninety
nine state wide House seats and thirty three state wide
Senate seats, and let's just.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Vote on them statewide. You know what, happens.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
You end up with ninety nine Republicans in the House
or fifteen Republicans in the US Congress from Ohio, and
you end up with thirty three state senators from Ohio.
And so that's not really that we've always done these
in districts and representational things. But in the end, yeah,
I mean, that's the right question. Draw districts to where
you keep communities together. You put all of districts are
(05:39):
based on population. For Congress, it's about eight hundred and
fifty thousand people, for state Senate it's about three hundred
and sixty thousand people, and for the state legislators about
one hundred and twenty thousand people. And so you draw
districts to put that many people together, and you should
be done.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And that would work.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
That would work.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
If you're going to keep communities together and draw them
compact and ultimately I think that would work well.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But that's not the way the system works. I talked
to you know, Chairman tre Feeler was on with us.
It was last that you said his name, right, I'm impressed.
Oh yeah, yeah, I thought you had a stroke. Yeah, no,
what happened?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Who was here?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
That sounds like an angry Japanese chef for some of us,
some of us just calling Alex T for that reason.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Alex, who is this person you had on He's the
Ohio Republican Party chairman. Yeah, that was to forgive our
friend over here. He's not very caught up in Ohio.
That's always spider districts. That's right, that is right. But
I said, the first thing I asked him, Auditor Favor,
was I said, uh, why is it that we have
(06:50):
these outside interests? We always get our butts kicked with
spending and and then he was just like, you know, well,
donate to the big money guys. Right, It's like, are
they why twenty six million dollars? And it's like kill
that as a party tip. I mean, the fact of
the matter place twenty six million. Well, I think I dropped.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, I think I left it at oh.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well in the bathroom on the sink.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
The difference, the big difference is is that I always
say Republicans are working too hard to go out and
give money to liberal social causes. And that's just part
of the reality is is they they have big moneyed
interest whether it's Hollywood or whether it's the uh, the
Swiss billionaire who funded the last issue one for them.
All of these folks give them money and then candidly,
(07:41):
we just don't have people with deep pockets like that
that are going to fund ballot initiative. And there are
a lot of them spending money on politics. I mean
Bernie Marino and the folks supporting Bernie and frankly support
Fort supporting Chair Brown are now over four hundred and
fifty million dollars in that US Center race. So there's
money going to places, but it's just out on the
valid issue side.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Hey, will, welcome to the show. Thank you for waiting.
You got a question or a comment or both.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Well, kind of a comment on two things when you're
saying no, no, no because of the outside interests and
things being what sealed the deal on me without even
reading it was Marin O'Connor was for it, and she's
possibly the worst justice we've ever seen in this country
thanks to be a Republican. But sure as heck is not.
(08:26):
I had to vote know on that. But my question
is this fifteen more panel, who pays for the staff
of this where's that money coming from? And is it
going to be sort of like the census Bureau. You know,
you reorganize, you draw the districts every ten years past
the sentence or census. But do half of these people
get to hang out and be on a payroll and
(08:48):
pretty much just twiddle her thumbs for another ten years.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
The provision allocates seven million dollars for them just to
draw the districts and then unlimited and then unlimited amounts
of money for legal defense. So literally, this is a
blank check for under the constitution provision that the legislature
has to appropriate. And here's the difference. I'm your state auditor.
I catch people lying, stealing, and cheating with government money.
(09:15):
We do a lot of really good things, but I
have to go to the legislature and ask them for
my budget. If they don't think I'm doing a good job,
you know what, they can say, heck no, And this
proposal they get the money regardless it's in the constitution.
It goes up with inflation, so that seven million dollars
goes up every ten years when they redo this, and
then they have an unlimited check book for legal defense.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Dare I say this sounds undemocratic.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Well, that's a really good summary.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
There's coming from the party that is scared about democracy
and Donald Trump, Yeah, the biggest threat to democracy.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
The other scary part about this is this unelected, unaccountable
group of people that they're putting toward us.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Do we get to know who they are?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Well, you don't until after you do. It's kind of
like Nancy Pelosi said, you have to pass the buil
to understand it. And in this case, Josh, it's really
interesting that you just had the lady who chaired the
Michigan proposal, and this was supposed to be drafted off
of Michigan.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
He said.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
What happened was is these people quickly found out that
you can never remove them. It takes a unanimous voting
of themselves to remove this. So once they figured that out,
she said, they stopped listening to all the public testimony
that they were supposed to tack and then they did
whatever the heck they wanted. And so this concept that
we're going to have all these public hearings and they're
(10:30):
going to be very unless you have an accountability method,
ultimately it's going to be very difficult to believe that
these fifteen disinterested people. By the way, this is going
to be a huge time commitment. So who's going to
be willing to commit to hundreds of hours for relatively
little money to do this if you don't have an
(10:51):
interest in politics. I mean, the answer is it's a
trojan horse. You can't take politics out of a political process.
But that's the process. That's who's going to be on it,
and ultimately they're unelected, unaccountable, and unremovable. Even for misconduct.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I'll do it, but I'm gonna need seven million dollars
a month. That's who's gonna sign up to pay that.
For corruption, It's an absolute recipe for.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Saying, Okay, you bring an allegation like this, this guy
is compromised, that lady is compromised. Okay, we'll invest We
investigate ourselves in the terment.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
We did nothing wrong, right exactly, Mery Christmas, you'll stay.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Look, I'm the guy who just put the zoo guys
in prison. Okay, that's one of the things our office
just did. And so the Zoo guys thought they were untouchable. Okay,
they stole millions of dollars from the Columbus, one of
the most revered organizations in the country, and these guys
thought they could get away with it. Well, one of
them is going to prison and one is still yet
to be sentenced for seven years.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yes, all that.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
These guys can literally do whatever they want and you
can't remove them unless they decide unanimously to vote to
remove somebody.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
That is a bad, bad recipe. Awful it is.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's like what you were saying, man, when when they
start talking about investigating themselves. It's like the FBI, you know,
that's just that's a sort it's a bad mark on
the FBI. And we're gonna we're gonna have to redouble
our efforts towards training and uh, we're gonna be really
good now.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
From now what yeah, or the secret Service about what
happened exactly again again.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Now mistakes were made and the slope roofs are very dangerous,
and we realize now the danger that reside. We're gonna
have to do some training and perhaps with an increase
in a budget, we could afford to do the job.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
It's money.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
We got to rebuild this money. We got to rebuild
some of our stuff too. We're gonna need a one
hundred million that that should get us started the week
one exactly. So I wanted to I'm not trying to
to shove you out or push you out. But I'm
saying you, I didn't know if you look at that, No,
(12:58):
look like a hostage. It's a gun behind your bath.
No no, no, no, no, no no. What I was saying
is I wanted to give you one final plug for
your gigs, and I didn't want look like I told you.
I love when you stay. It's stay, say stay.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I wish I could, yes, but listen, I've got to
get mentally prepared for my big show Friday at the
Dayton Funny Boat.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't have time to plug my appearance at the
Dayton Funny Boat Friday.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
If you did have time to plug that, do it.

Gar's you writing a book about this? Teach me your ways.
I need to teach me your gambling ways. Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
State auditor Keith Faber is in studio with us as well,
And so there were people who wanted to ask you
some questions about issue one, and you were kind enough
to stop in today, auditor Faber and kind of set
us straight, if you will. There are a lot of
people who still don't understand when they look at, you know,

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, yeah, no question, Tommy, Thank you for waiting. And
what are your you have questions or comments or what
you got guys?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
I love your show. Thanks, I will talk fast. There's
a lot of people Number one, as far as issue
one goes, I would be curious to hear his response

go to majority? One hundred says yes, one hundred one

I don't understand this whole districting thing. And I don't
think a lot of people do. Why don't we just
(04:18):
go to majority? And I mean not in Ohio, the
whole country. Secondly, I would like one thing to be
said and maybe some point discussed on your program, because
you guys are really good about this. Someone needs to
look at Timothy Mellon. Listen. There are as many bad
people that support the Dems that support the Republicans, and
(04:38):
that's the problem.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
There's too much.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Money going both ways. But when you talk about this
districting thing, people are trying to figure out why are
we why can't we just be a majority? And I
would love to hear his explanation as to explaining to
me the district. I don't understand it. I'll let you
guys talk, all.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Right, Tommy, thanks very close to Wolfman Jack right there
by the way, that guy I just wanted to Yeah great.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
You know, look, the simplest answer is, if you really
want to go to this concept of proportionality, just eliminate
districts all together. Have fifteen statewide congressional seats and ninety
nine state wide House seats and thirty three state wide
Senate seats, and let's just.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Vote on them statewide. You know what, happens.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
You end up with ninety nine Republicans in the House
or fifteen Republicans in the US Congress from Ohio, and
you end up with thirty three state senators from Ohio.
And so that's not really that we've always done these
in districts and representational things. But in the end, yeah,
I mean, that's the right question. Draw districts to where
you keep communities together. You put all of districts are

be done.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And that would work.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
That would work.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
If you're going to keep communities together and draw them
compact and ultimately I think that would work well.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
But that's not the way the system works. I talked
to you know, Chairman tre Feeler was on with us.
It was last that you said his name, right, I'm impressed.
Oh yeah, yeah, I thought you had a stroke. Yeah, no,
what happened?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Who was here?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
That sounds like an angry Japanese chef for some of us,
some of us just calling Alex T for that reason.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Alex, who is this person you had on He's the
Ohio Republican Party chairman. Yeah, that was to forgive our
friend over here. He's not very caught up in Ohio.
That's always spider districts. That's right, that is right. But
I said, the first thing I asked him, Auditor Favor,
was I said, uh, why is it that we have
(06:50):
these outside interests? We always get our butts kicked with
spending and and then he was just like, you know, well,
donate to the big money guys. Right, It's like, are
they why twenty six million dollars? And it's like kill
that as a party tip. I mean, the fact of
the matter place twenty six million. Well, I think I dropped.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, I think I left it at oh.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well in the bathroom on the sink.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
The difference, the big difference is is that I always
say Republicans are working too hard to go out and
give money to liberal social causes. And that's just part
of the reality is is they they have big moneyed
interest whether it's Hollywood or whether it's the uh, the
Swiss billionaire who funded the last issue one for them.
All of these folks give them money and then candidly,
(07:41):
we just don't have people with deep pockets like that
that are going to fund ballot initiative. And there are
a lot of them spending money on politics. I mean
Bernie Marino and the folks supporting Bernie and frankly support
Fort supporting Chair Brown are now over four hundred and
fifty million dollars in that US Center race. So there's
money going to places, but it's just out on the
valid issue side.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Hey, will, welcome to the show. Thank you for waiting.
You got a question or a comment or both.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Well, kind of a comment on two things when you're
saying no, no, no because of the outside interests and
things being what sealed the deal on me without even
reading it was Marin O'Connor was for it, and she's
possibly the worst justice we've ever seen in this country
thanks to be a Republican. But sure as heck is not.
(08:26):
I had to vote know on that. But my question
is this fifteen more panel, who pays for the staff
of this where's that money coming from? And is it
going to be sort of like the census Bureau. You know,
you reorganize, you draw the districts every ten years past
the sentence or census. But do half of these people
get to hang out and be on a payroll and
(08:48):
pretty much just twiddle her thumbs for another ten years.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
The provision allocates seven million dollars for them just to
draw the districts and then unlimited and then unlimited amounts
of money for legal defense. So literally, this is a
blank check for under the constitution provision that the legislature
has to appropriate. And here's the difference. I'm your state auditor.
I catch people lying, stealing, and cheating with government money.
(09:15):
We do a lot of really good things, but I
have to go to the legislature and ask them for
my budget. If they don't think I'm doing a good job,
you know what, they can say, heck no, And this
proposal they get the money regardless it's in the constitution.
It goes up with inflation, so that seven million dollars
goes up every ten years when they redo this, and
then they have an unlimited check book for legal defense.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Dare I say this sounds undemocratic.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Well, that's a really good summary.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
There's coming from the party that is scared about democracy
and Donald Trump, Yeah, the biggest threat to democracy.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
The other scary part about this is this unelected, unaccountable
group of people that they're putting toward us.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Do we get to know who they are?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Well, you don't until after you do. It's kind of
like Nancy Pelosi said, you have to pass the buil
to understand it. And in this case, Josh, it's really
interesting that you just had the lady who chaired the
Michigan proposal, and this was supposed to be drafted off
of Michigan.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
He said.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
What happened was is these people quickly found out that
you can never remove them. It takes a unanimous voting
of themselves to remove this. So once they figured that out,
she said, they stopped listening to all the public testimony
that they were supposed to tack and then they did
whatever the heck they wanted. And so this concept that
we're going to have all these public hearings and they're
(10:30):
going to be very unless you have an accountability method,
ultimately it's going to be very difficult to believe that
these fifteen disinterested people. By the way, this is going
to be a huge time commitment. So who's going to
be willing to commit to hundreds of hours for relatively
little money to do this if you don't have an
(10:51):
interest in politics. I mean, the answer is it's a
trojan horse. You can't take politics out of a political process.
But that's the process. That's who's going to be on it,
and ultimately they're unelected, unaccountable, and unremovable. Even for misconduct.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I'll do it, but I'm gonna need seven million dollars
a month. That's who's gonna sign up to pay that.
For corruption, It's an absolute recipe for.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Saying, Okay, you bring an allegation like this, this guy
is compromised, that lady is compromised. Okay, we'll invest We
investigate ourselves in the terment.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
We did nothing wrong, right exactly, Mery Christmas, you'll stay.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Look, I'm the guy who just put the zoo guys
in prison. Okay, that's one of the things our office
just did. And so the Zoo guys thought they were untouchable. Okay,
they stole millions of dollars from the Columbus, one of
the most revered organizations in the country, and these guys
thought they could get away with it. Well, one of
them is going to prison and one is still yet
to be sentenced for seven years.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yes, all that.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
These guys can literally do whatever they want and you
can't remove them unless they decide unanimously to vote to
remove somebody.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
That is a bad, bad recipe. Awful it is.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's like what you were saying, man, when when they
start talking about investigating themselves. It's like the FBI, you know,
that's just that's a sort it's a bad mark on
the FBI. And we're gonna we're gonna have to redouble
our efforts towards training and uh, we're gonna be really
good now.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
From now what yeah, or the secret Service about what
happened exactly again again.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Now mistakes were made and the slope roofs are very dangerous,
and we realize now the danger that reside. We're gonna
have to do some training and perhaps with an increase
in a budget, we could afford to do the job.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
It's money.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
We got to rebuild this money. We got to rebuild
some of our stuff too. We're gonna need a one
hundred million that that should get us started the week
one exactly. So I wanted to I'm not trying to
to shove you out or push you out. But I'm
saying you, I didn't know if you look at that, No,
(12:58):
look like a hostage. It's a gun behind your bath.
No no, no, no, no, no no. What I was saying
is I wanted to give you one final plug for
your gigs, and I didn't want look like I told you.
I love when you stay. It's stay, say stay.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I wish I could, yes, but listen, I've got to
get mentally prepared for my big show Friday at the
Dayton Funny Boat.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I don't have time to plug my appearance at the
Dayton Funny Boat Friday.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
If you did have time to plug that, do it.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
