55KRC Wednesday Show - AFP, CCVS, State Sen George Lang, Judge Napolitano

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Five oh five fifty five k RC DE Talk Station.
Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I'm the dude.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Man, I'm Brian Thomas, SOCI thirty five KRC Morning Show.
Happy Wednesday to everybody who you can stick around all morning.
Got some good guests lined up, thanks to executive producer
Joe Strecker for lining them up, starting with Donod and
Neil Americans for Prosperities. Donald and Neil joining the program
at seven thirty. As is typically the case, uh a
FP urging wallmakers to override Dwines Vetos. We talk about
that this morning. Uh and he has comments about the

(00:54):
so called Big Beautiful Bill. Of course, it's gonna be
tossed around the center or the House today. I think
it's already out of committee. You'll be put up for
a full vote today if I read the information correctly.
Not guaranteed though, as rumbored swirling that is up to
as many as up to as many as twenty representatives
are against it on the Republican side of the ledge.

(01:16):
Of course, you can only afford to lose a handful.
So that's beyond the numbers that would allow it to
pass in the House. So we will see what ultimately happens.
Just keep your popcorn out, folks. Steve, also from the
Klamic County Veteran Service, has got some information to pass
along to my veteran friend. Steve's good man looking out
for our American veterans, and salute to everybody at the
various veteran services agencies for what you're doing each and

(01:37):
every day for our veterans. State Senator George Lang joins
the program at eighth five. George's gonna be talking about
the Ohio budget. And finally, of course, a judge anted
Apolotado with some comments about Independence Day and are we
freer now than we were under King George, it's a
legitimate question to ask pretty much clear you no direction.

(01:58):
Judge is going to go on that one. So uh,
if you want to call feel free love hearing from
me five one three, seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred
eighty two to three talk or pound five fifty on
aight and t funds. Normally would be listener lunch today
because it is the first Wednesday in July. Man, where
the hell did June go? Anyhow, We've gone on the

(02:18):
blink of an eye. But because of Independence Day on Friday,
we are kicking it to next Wednesday. I have been
trying to let everybody know we're going to be at
Wandering Monsters Brewery. Wandering Monsters, it's beach Beachmont Avenue. I
think that's fair. I remember that correctly. But it's supposed
to have good food, it's supposed to be a lot
of fun, and I'm hoping you can make it. Put

(02:39):
it down on your calendar, show up a listener. Lunch
usually starts about eleven thirty, So Beachmont eighty two to
fifty one Beachmont Avenue is the location of Wandering Monsters.
Get a kick out of the name of that place. Anyway,
back over here in the state of Ohio, of course,
the the wine did veto quite a few things, most
notably the ones relating to maybe some relief for property insurance.

(03:01):
Get to that in a minute. But I thought this
was a rather interesting combination. Here there was a study
from Harris Pole talking to parents, asking parents which things
they wished had never been invented, thinking about their experience
versus their child experience growing up. Most of the more

(03:23):
than half of the surveyed parents that they wished for
their kids that social media didn't exist, sixty two percent,
so they wish TikTok had never been invented sixty two
percent so they would like to spare their kids the
toxicity of acts formerly known as Twitter, and fifty six
percent wish that Instagram didn't exist. Most notably, seventy two

(03:44):
percent of parents either agree or strongly agree that they
wish adult online content was not out there porn. Fifty
five percent agree or strongly somewhat agree they wish that
social media was not a thing at all. Forty four
percent say that for messaging apps smartphones generally speaking, thirty

(04:04):
eight percent of parents wish they didn't exist, video games
thirty two percent, the internet generally twenty eight percent, streaming
services twenty one percent, and TV seventeen percent wish it
didn't exist, wish it had never been involved in their
children's upbringing. And it's interesting to note, and I know
it's how difficult it is to be a parent. I'm
a parent, thankfully. Minor adults now that it's tough to

(04:28):
say no. But all of this is within the grasp
of a parent to say no. Now, you can go
to the next door neighbor's house and they may not
care about your access to adult online content. But within
the confines of your own home, there are ways to
prevent your children from accessing it. So it's just I
understand parents don't want to be the hammer. That's when

(04:49):
the state sometimes has to come in. We've seen the
efforts and the successful in the Supreme Court Texas's effort
to ban access to adult online content without age verification.
Age verification is a thing now in Texas. That's the
state stepping in and endeavoring to do what parents either
can't or won't do for their kids. And it's come

(05:10):
to the state of Ohio. I students will soon not
have access to their cell phones during the school day.
State lawmakers prohibited them under most circumstances in the final
state budget, which Governor Wine designed the other day. Each school, district,
community school, and STEM school must adopt a policy prohibiting

(05:31):
students' use of cell phones during the instructional day, with
some exceptions. Policy must be adopted by January first of
next year. The Wine called this a vital step in
protecting our children and helping them focus and learn in
the school year. Apparently, the definition of instructional day subject

(05:51):
to some interpretation. Senator James Timkins said it's the time
between the first bell in the morning and the final
bell at the end of the day, noting that we'll
probably find that some of the school districts have different
views on what the instructional day means. But the idea
is to not have it during the school day. Isn't
it interesting that it's already a question mark about what
instructional day means, maybe intentionally vague to provide school district

(06:15):
some lateral movement in that I don't know. Each public
school must also include in its comprehensive emergency management plan
a protocol that addresses students' use of cell phones during
an active threat or emergency. Obviously that's one of the concerns. Well,
wait a second. You know we reach out and like
alert people to active shooter situations and lockdowns via text.

(06:36):
That the kids don't have their cell phones, that don't
have access to them, how they're going to get it? Now?
The plan has to address that and getting ahead of it.
And here's the point, as noted by the enquire BB
Hodges and others reporting by implementing a statewide band, lawmakers,

(06:57):
rather than teachers or parents become the bad guys limiting
access to cell phones. Jaye Timpkins said she's fine with that.
We can't police everybody, but at least it gives these
kids a chance to put their phones away and actually
listen to their teacher and interact in the classroom. She noted. Yeah,

(07:19):
apparently some schools have already done this, since our Country
Day School in Indian Hill enforce all day cell phone
ban during the twenty twenty three twenty four school year.
I wonder if the children benefited from it. Princeton City
Schools and implemented policies and procedures that aligned with the
Lost booksmversus the district said and will make any necessary
adjustments as needed, but they already have a policy in
place which they say is well complies with what was

(07:41):
just signed into law by Governor to Wine. Now, I
think personally this is a good idea. I mean, I'm
not all about raw laws and rules and bands, and
I know there's some concerns from parents and others about
how are we going to get to our kids, what
if there's an emergency, what if there's a health issue. Well,

(08:03):
the bill apparently does include a provision for allowing students
to use their cell phones for student learning, that's one thing,
quote unquote student learning, or to monitor or address a
health concern if the student has a written statement from
their physician. So there's a lot of carve outs in
a lot of ways that schools will be to implement
policies which may be address the concerns of parents. But overall,

(08:25):
going back to what parents want in that survey, they
wish that stuff just didn't exist at all. Twenty four
hours a day, seven days a week. We just wish
it evaporated from the what's available for use for our children,
which suggests that if parents are you know, when they're
asked they could do without the cell phone connections. I mean,

(08:45):
if they're asking and wishing and desiring that they were
outright banned or didn't exist, then that means they would
be in a situation where they'd have to cope without
being able to reach their children at any moment in time.
I just I can't reconcile the two positions. I mean,
at least among the parents who are claiming that these
school cell phone bands are going to present a problem
for them, but overall, the fewer hours children have access

(09:10):
to these devices, I think the better for them. Generally speaking,
they are a diversion. They do take away from learning time.
They're a major distraction and a major creator of anxiety
among our young people. How many psychological problems are young
people having these days that are driven And you can
conclude this without being a psychiatrist or a psychologist driven

(09:32):
by social media the twenty four to seven proposition and
no wonder our children are so psychologically well struggling. But
draw your own conclusions. How do you feel about it?
I mean, feel free to give me a call that agree, disagree.
I think it's a good idea, bad idea. It is
the law now in the state of Ohio. Put the

(09:53):
phones down five fifteen fifty five K see the talk
station five one thirty seven four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eight two three talk about five fifty on
AT and T phones. Go right back after these brief
courts fifty five car the talk station five eighteen On
a Wednesday, Happy Wednesday to you, but you buy parsee

(10:14):
dot comedy can't listen live We get the inside Scoop
with Bradley j. Yesterday we talked about the Big Beautiful
Billy Vaked Ramaswami for Ohio governor. He was on the
program yesterday. I love that guy, and of course of
Daniel Davis deep dive. Not looking good for Ukraine right now,
massive troop deployment by the Russians, fifty thousand additional ones
up in that that capital city. They have the three

(10:37):
to one ratio of Russian soldiers to Ukrainian soldiers. Obviously
he was talking about they were considering expanding the draft
in Ukraine, include eighteen year old, A lot of people
fleeing the country to avoid that possibility. And there's just
it's it's just it's all bad news. I don't know

(10:58):
what your position is for Ukraine. You got to be
practical in a realist things aren't looking good and doubling
down on that. US has stopped the delivery of air
defense interceptors and other weapons inten for Ukraine because the
Pentagon needs them to beef up our own stocks. Hmm.
US moved with old arms deliveries ear mark for Ukraine

(11:20):
reflects the Trump administration's slackening commitment to aiding Kiev and
its defense against Russia, reports The Wall Street Journal. Apparently,
officials of stress the need to focus more on longer
term threats from China and more immediately military needs in
the Middle East. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly Quota is
saying this decision was made to put America's interests first.

(11:42):
That after a Pentagon review of military assistants US military
systems ships, the shipments of these weapons are already in
poland halted. Now included Patriot air defense interceptors, air to
air missiles, hell fire, air to ground missiles, and surface
to surface rockets, artillery rounds and stingers surface to air missiles.
All of them are going to be redistributed by the

(12:03):
Pentagon to areas that we need them more than in Ukraine. Again,
you have to view the situation whether the cause is
worthy or not. The needs are well unlimited, the demand
is unlimited, and some suggesting, and I think Daniel Davis
was one of them. One of the reasons Israel got
into the that ceasefire agreement with Iran is because well,

(12:24):
it ran out of the ability to shoot down Iranian rockets,
and Iran still has a whole bunch of them. So
when you don't have the defenses there, it might be
good to call it call it a ceasefire for a
while no military strategist I but now Ukraine has previously

(12:47):
praised the fact that Patriot system has been able to
it has defended the country from these Russian ballistic missiles,
and of course they have been appealing for more of them.
This is an obvious response to that, Well, no, we're
not going to provide them. And it's the second time
the Trump administration has redirected weapons that were intended to Ukraine.
Last month was reported Pentagon quietly notified Congress that special

(13:11):
fuses for rockets Ukraine used to shoot down Russian drones
were being allocated at US Air Force units in the
Middle East. Our people needed them. That's all those military
bases that are in the area that we're under within
range of the Iranian rockets that some were so concerned
about after we dropped the bombs on the nuke facilities
that they will be bombed by the Iranians, one of

(13:32):
which they intempted to do, but because we had missile
defense systems on the ground, they were shot down. So
a lot of reporting on that was young people. You know,
twenty five years old was the oldest person at the
base that was there to protect the base and operate
these missile systems. So he had twenty year olds at
twenty five year olds defending the base and successfully doing it.

(13:52):
That's a great story out of that one. But we
need them, that's the point only. So if there's a
fine item out of hardware out there, obviously, so you
decide whether it's in the US's best interest to send
them to the least and protect our guys, or let
the Ukrainians have them. And in essence, I suppose one
may argue squander them since they're losing this battle, it

(14:14):
looks like a foregone conclusion that it's just it's pretty
much over. That's my conclusion anyway. Now, the Trump administration
inherited the authority to send Ukraine as much as three
point eighty five billion in weapons from the Pentagon stocks
the weapons, but it's held back doing so. Also hasn't
asked Congress for more funding for a separate program to
fund the Ukrainian military called the Ukraine's Security Assistance Initiative,

(14:40):
under which money is appropriated so Kiev can buy weapons
from US defense contractors military industrial complex. And I don't
know why the Democrats are operating under some delusion that
Ukraine might be able to win this war. Jeine Shaheen,
quoted as the Pentagon is significantly weakening Ukraine's defense against

(15:03):
aerial attacks, even as Russia pounds Ukrainian cities night after
night with numerous civilian dead and wounded. In fact, maybe yeah,
But as I mentioned it, Daniel Davis, I mean, you
effectively have to have persons in this case, mostly men
behind the trigger to operate the weapons, regardless of the

(15:24):
weapons systems, and they're running out of people to do that.
You can pile all the weapons you want on top
of them, but if they don't know the people to
operate them effectively use them that are trained to use them,
what good is it going to do? And if it
puts Our soldiers at risk because they need the weapons
system to protect themselves from a greater threat, a threat

(15:44):
directly on Americans as opposed to the Ukrainian people with
whom we have no defense author or agreement or treaty,
I think that's the right decision being made there. Do
we protect the US interest or do we protect the
interest of a country that I guess we're with on
some level. Lots of questions swirling about that too, But again,

(16:06):
no defense agreement they're not part of NATO. They just
exist as an independent country, and we have thus far
been providing them with weapons systems to defend themselves against
the evil pesky Russians. How many other hands want to
be in our American cookie jar? How many more demands
are there out there for our finite apparently military resources.
Tough calls have to be made, and I'm not necessarily

(16:28):
happy about it, but I think in this particular case,
the right call was made our interests over those of
other countries. Generally speaking, let us see here coming up
on local stories. Love hearing from you. If you've got
something to say, please feel free to give me a call.
Got more on the highest state budget and we'll be

(16:51):
talking about that again with Donovan and Neil. Americans were prosperity,
including the budget vetos on the well effort to pair
back our property taxes. I feel a little disappointed with
what Mike Dewyne did along those lines. Don't go away.
I'd be right back. Fifty five KRC dot com. Here

Speaker 4 (17:43):
To the phones.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
We will forget the local stories. Oh love Tom's on
the phone. Welcome back Tom. Always good to hear from you.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yeah, the first time calling a long time listener night,
I love.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Your show, got your own tagline? Man, don't give me
that best?

Speaker 2 (18:00):
What are all the cliches? And I listen to some
of the shows, and you know these.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
Callers, they gotta get through all these You gotta gotta
get these call screeners. And then they get all them,
and they spend the first seventy percent of their call like, oh,
you guys are their best. I love you guys, Like
just get to your point. I just get to it
right now.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, And is someone screaming at the radio going right now, Tom,
You're doing exactly what you're criticized.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
That was the whole point of the joke. I got it.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
So you're off Friday, right, Yes, sir.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
If you need if you don't have a stub, let
me know. Okay, I'll be bored happy to jump in there.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Fairy, you are absolutely correct. Uh.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
The administration is making the right decision to put our
interest first. This is what that looks like. And that
means somebody's gonna have to suffer, somebody's not getting something
they want, and we're just gonna have to deal with that.
And just so you know, always at all times when
decisions are made, somebody doesn't get what they want. It's
just a matter of who that is and who's screaming

(19:06):
and crying about it. And as we know, for the
last couple of years, it's been all about Ukraine, Ukraine, this,
Ukraine that, And I don't wish any ill on the
people of Ukraine, but we have our own interests to
take care of first, and that we have to make
sure we do that. And it's obvious that the Democrats

(19:26):
want to put the America's interests last. They want everything
else to be first. So that's why we got to
make sure we don't know Democrat.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Have a great day, bright you too, Tom, appreciate that.
Who is next, Joe Strucker or Bobby Jay? Hang on
your next, Bobby, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Wednesday,
Happy Tuesday, My brother Tuesday Wednesday. Oh, I got to
hit the dump button, Bobby. You can't curse on the

(19:55):
Morning Show. You should know that by now we had
to use the dump button on you. All right, Hey,
you want to start over since we lost all the
time with your phone call with the dump button delay,
So start over and don't use any profanities please.

Speaker 6 (20:14):
Okay, we'll start over again. The Ukraine, we've talked about
it for two years. They cannot succeed the War of
Patrician number one yep, and we have two hundred and
seventy thousand Ukrainians in this country. We get temporary status too.
Why are they still here.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
War torn region? I think it makes them eligible for
temporary protection status.

Speaker 7 (20:38):
Well, they need to go back to the Ukraine and
fight for their country.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Well, one can make that argument. It's a question of patriotism.
But if you're going to look at what qualifies someone
for TPS. I do believe war in the country is
a justification and allows you to meet qualifications to have
temporary protected status.

Speaker 6 (20:59):
Whatever happened to the one that testified against our president
this first term.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
The one what do you current? The one?

Speaker 7 (21:07):
What the current? What was it? The cardinal from Ukraine
and he was at our.

Speaker 8 (21:10):
Military that he was going to go fight for Ukraine.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
Haven't heard a word about you.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, lost in the ether from ebody. I can't remember
anything about the story generally speaking, So the fact that
no one followed up on it isn't shocking. How many
stories fall off the wayside that we kind of expect
to follow up on. It's the flavor of the moment
that particular day. It's the clickbait that everybody's clicking on,
and then five minutes later, no one even remembers what

(21:34):
the event was that they were so excited about that
particular moment. Welcome to the age of the Internet, Bobby,
appreciate the call. Thank you for illustrating the importance of
minding FEC compliance as well. Jay, Welcome to the Morning Show.
Happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 7 (21:49):
Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Brian.

Speaker 9 (21:50):
Hey, you know I've been hearing about this Senate parliamentarian
that was telling the Republican Party and Johnthone and everybody
else what you can do and what you can't do
with the the legislation, the big beautiful bill that they
were passing. And you had mentioned about a bureaucrat.

Speaker 7 (22:05):
So I looked it up.

Speaker 10 (22:06):
To say, yeah, who is this, what is this? What
is the Senate parliamentarian?

Speaker 9 (22:11):
And found that this is a lady who was who
was put into this position, very powerful, powerful position by
Harry Reid, I think during your Bamba administration. Now, if
this isn't a sign that it is a dog on
you in a party, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
What is that?

Speaker 9 (22:28):
After how many Republican administrations a Trump administer, first Trump administration,
a second Trump administration, and we're having.

Speaker 11 (22:36):
A communist appointed.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
Person telling the Republican Party what they can and cannot
include in legislation, completely unelected.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
Appointed by Harry Reid.

Speaker 9 (22:46):
And I'm to believe that the Republican Party is just
so dumb and just not unaware that they wouldn't get
rid of this thirty or bureaucrat and get your own position.
Or are we to believe that she is just as
objective and pure as driven snow kind of like our
Supreme Court justices like maybe soda mayor that level of objectivity.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah, I mean we all can.

Speaker 7 (23:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
And that's you know, the whole the whole thing swirling
around medicaid and whether immigrants, illegal immigrants otherwise are eligible
for Medicaid or not. It's a it's very confusing and
a lot of people don't even know. That's why we
had to hear from at least a couple of politicians,
most notably Senator Eric Schmid the other day, trying to
set the record straight on whether or not the BBB

(23:32):
cuts Medicaid for the one point four million illegal aliens.
The The provision that was struck by the Parliamentarian was
the sort of penalty provision because the federal government does
not authorize or justify illegal immigrants under medicaid, so states
are free to expand their Medicaid roles to pay for
them themselves, like California did, which put them in a
big budget problem. The provision that was struck was a

(23:54):
ten percent reduction in payments and reimbursements for eligible Medicaid
That was a design to penalize states who expanded the
roles to include illegal immigrants. So if you expanded you
covered illegal immigrants, we're going to cut your medicaid reimbursement
by ten percent. That's what got cut by the parliamentarian
at least as I currently understand it. Very confusing Jay,

(24:17):
and so much so that there was an article by
John Sexton over it. I believe it was town Hall.
He concluded his whole analysis of this. So, as I
set up atop, it's actually difficult to figure out what
is happening here well, the new eligibility requirement force cuts
and if so, how will it work. I'm sure someone
is going to write a story explaining what the remaining
section the bill does, but so far I'm not seeing it.

(24:40):
I'll try to update this today or tomorrow once it's
been made more clear.

Speaker 9 (24:45):
So well as difficult as that is to understand, what
I do understand is Harry Reid and a Barack Obama
put her into power, and Republicans haven't rooted her out,
So get rid of her and let's get our own
people in her instead of having hangover from the Obama
administration appointed by Harry Reid for crying out loud, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
I'm gonna have to look into what the rules are
regarding how the appointment is made and how long that
person sits in that particular position. Because I agree with
you completely, I mean, the whole process for me is
well beyond my understanding. I will purpose be playing to admit,
or I'd answer the question and make some argument and
support of what you're saying. But obviously, I think I
would think that if they were able to replace the

(25:27):
Senate parliamentarian with someone who's more aligned with conservative values
Republican principles, that they would have done it. So what's
stopping them from doing exactly what you're suggesting? He asked
out loud.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Kevin, you're next.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
You don't mind hold in just a moment, Gonna be
right back after these brief words. The talk station by
forty if if I have ksee the talk station Happy Wednesday?
It stacker stupid coming up after we talked to Kevin.
Who's kind enough to hold over the break there? Kevin,
Welcome to the morning Show. Good to hear from me
this morning.

Speaker 8 (25:57):
Good morning, Brian, Happy Thursday Thursday?

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Eve fair enough?

Speaker 8 (26:03):
Had I had to just toss in a comment regarding
Bobby's non FCC compliant current.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, that caught me off I appreciate that.

Speaker 8 (26:16):
But but yeah, Actually, the other reason I was gonna
uh if I could get your comments regarding Massy and
uh fran Paul just not sure where they're at, not
sure where their brains are at these days.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Well they're sticking with their off stated principles. Is I mean,
I always defend Massy on that. I know how he's
going to vote on any piece of legislation before he
even votes on it, because he is always lockstep consistent
with his views of the Constitution, and he sees we
are on a spending trajectory that is literally unsustainable. Just
one and again another article today about social security crisis

(26:55):
is coming and it is coming very very fast. Why
don't we fix that. We got a spending problem in
the country. We spend too much on the American military.
As much as I love the American military, you can't
pass the blanket audit. And here we are giving them
additional almost with two hundred billion dollars or something like that.
There's a multitude of reasons why he's angry Senator ran Paul.
The debt sealing, increasing it five trillion dollars. I mean,

(27:16):
that's just the waving a red flag around saying we're
going to increase the debt five trillion dollars beyond where
it is now. We're already at one hundred percent a
debt service or what is it, a trillion dollars annual
debt service on that that's only going to get worse.
I'm not voting for that.

Speaker 8 (27:31):
I mean another bank, another blank check.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, being boiled down. They're just expressed. Somebody's got to,
you know, at least by them speaking and drawing attention
to their arguments, it elevates it to a level of discussion.
If you didn't have them out there, and everybody capitulated
and caved around the corners and like, all right, I'm
wanting to sacrifice my principles this time because it's so
important we get this thing through. I understand those arguments

(27:55):
and reasons. Hell some of them did that in the
Senate just the other day. But because they are so outspoken,
because they are you know, the chink and the armor
or the speed bump in the system, at least their
arguments get advanced and you have to address them. Five
trillion dollars, I said it rampulse on his hands of
five trillion dollars. Why does it have to be so much?

(28:15):
If you just pair that back, I'll be a yes
on it. That's his one concern. You know, there's no
no opportunity to put the brakes on once you raise
it that much. Just open the floodgates.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
Thirteen hours, they read that it was a beautiful bill
for thirteen hours.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
It was sick. Actually, Kevin, actually was sixteen hours.

Speaker 8 (28:37):
Sixteen hours. Let's say, yeah, yep.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Well as your bottom line boiled down answer, at least
from my standpoint, We'll have congress from Assy back on
the program to talk about his specific reasons and which
he's made known in the morning show in the past
and he will do again in the future. Appreciate the call, Kevin.
Let's see here over to the stack is stupid, ut up,

(29:05):
up up. I'm trying to figureut where we are here.
The co typ Kotati Police Department officers that they found
more than seventy empty bud light can searching a dy
suspects suv over the weekend driver struggling to stay in
one lane when he was stopped. During the stop. Officers
note an open beer can in the SUV's cup holder field.

(29:25):
Sobriety tests lugily showed the man was driving in the
blood alcohol content a point twenty five, more than three
times the legal limit, ar wrestler for duy and driving
with a suspended license, license suspended from a prior DUI.
According to the Police Department, A courting the CPD of
the statement. Once the driver was arrested, search of the
inside of his car was completed in over seventy empty
beer cans were located. We want to remind everyone that

(29:48):
drinking and driving is not worth it. The outcome could
have been much worse at our officers not stop the driver.
I hope that's not from one single binge guy just
doesn't his car out very regularly. See here We got
to Saginaw, Michigan, where Michigan State Police released new information

(30:09):
about a suspect who was killed after holding an employee
hostage at a bank Friday. State police said thirty one
year old Clinton Marksy Allen took a mercantile back employee
hostage in Saginaw. Allen did not have a gun, but
he did have a weapon, according the state Police, Lieutenant
Kim Vetter, speaking with news, she did not specifically say

(30:30):
what the weapon was, but during the hostage situation. Vetter
said a drone was used to lower a twenty four
ounce Red Fago soda in a bag to mister Allen.
When Allen exposed himself to grab the FAGA, law enforcement

(30:50):
could see him through the buildings. Class State Police set
A trooper then shot and killed Allan. He never was
able to grab the bag, according to the state Police.
After he was shot, State police said the hostage came
out of the bank for help, victim injured and take
them to local hospital for treatment. Please still investigating Allen's motive.
I guess they figured out somewhere along the line that
he wanted a red Fagoh that's actually pretty dang funny.

(31:18):
Let's see here. Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning. Maybe not funny,
but also just a great operation coming up on eighty
years family ownership and operation. Three generations of Zimmer family.

KRC in Today's Marketer five point fifty eat great Chris

(32:27):
Cornell five three eight hundred two three talk over the phones,
will go cribbage. My, you're gonna be there next week
for our cribbage game at Listener Lunch.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
That's just right down the street.

Speaker 7 (32:40):
Brian, you know I'll be.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
There wandering monsters. Have you been there before?

Speaker 11 (32:44):
I have not, but uh I hear a lot of
good things about it.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Great that's what I've been hearing as well. So, uh,
what's what's uh, what's going on this morning? Mike.

Speaker 11 (32:53):
So I was sitting in my office yesterday and it
caught my ear when I hear this uh anti Congressman
Massy commercial and this from my Life TV. I was
able to rewind it and I and I sent you
a copy of the audio.

Speaker 10 (33:08):
But I don't know if you've seen it.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Yeah, I've seen it, Okay, I regularly admit and I
always feel embarrassed to regularly admit it. But it's my
wind down hour, the seven to eight o'clock hours when
I sit down right and and mindlessly watched Wheel of
Fortune and the Jeopardy and they ran that spot. I
must have been three times during that hour.

Speaker 11 (33:26):
So, and like you just said, this is who Tom
Massey is. That there is no different there. So the
fact and everything that he's gone through his life here,
especially personally, I don't I don't think he's losing any
sleep over it, and it calls me that's going to
be besides it, there's gonna be more people besides Warren
Davidson and Tom Massey. They're going to object with the

(33:46):
Senate just passed back to the house. You know, we're
all tired of hearing the same tune. Well, we need
to get this one through and we'll worry about the
deficit later. No, because here we are again, and as
you said, he's bringing up the discussion point putting the
first and forefront because it is huge monsters waiting to
You know, it's not a wandering monster either.

Speaker 10 (34:05):
It's right there.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Thirty seven trillion dollars it is, and growing every single day.
But well, that's why we've got commersoms around. And I
appreciate my friends in the Commonwealth for continuing to re
elect them in the face of challenges. So we'll see
if if this one has any legs, Mike, this challenge
has any legs, I tend to doubt it. If I
was going to put my money on something, I put
my money on Massy. Great to hear from you, Mike.

(34:27):
Appreciate the call over to the stack is stupid.

Speaker 7 (34:32):
M m.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Maryland woman violently attacked recently after she honked at another
car that had suddenly stopped. Jillian Canner said she just
finished a twelve hour shift as a nurse at the hospital,
leaving work. Said when she had to honk at a
car for stopping in the middle of the road in Rosdell, Maryland. Now,
she's recovering from injuries and is sort of in a
state of difficult disbelief over what happened. Speaking with local

(34:59):
news there, HELI completely stopped, so I honked and got
into the other lane and just drove off. Then I
see him in my rear view of mirror, speeding all
the way to catch up to me. That's when he
got out of the car and started screaming at me.
I pulled the window up, trying to ignore him, tried
to be an adult about it. He kicked out my
back window and he just started screaming, why are you honking?

(35:22):
I have kids in the car, said, After hearing the
commotion of the glass breaking, she got out of the
car to see what happened. She told the driver she
was calling nine one one, She said. The man then
threw her phone and glasses to the ground and started
throwing punches, saying, he punched me in the face when
I tried to call the police. Doctors initially worried the

(35:43):
punches might have torn her left corneump, but she just
got black eye and several broken blood vessels. Tried to
stop him from leaving by standing in front of his car.
She fell down. That's when witnesses, including a paramedic, stop
to help her. To the police with a license plate number.
Candaer said, the subject landed several punches and drove off laughing.

(36:05):
So far, police have not yet made an arrest just

Joe's trek, or put you on the on the caller screen.
Coming up seven thirty with Donovomino Americans for Prosperity. They're
urging lawmakers to override Dewines vetos, some of which relate
to property tax. We get a chance to talk about
that yet, but we can. But they did try to
give us some measure of relief, and DeWine struck those

(38:35):
provisions in his line item veto, So we'll hear what
he has to say about that or what other vetos
that Dwine had. There were sixty seven of them. AFP
wants to have overturned. So it's an opportunity to overturn
the vetos. Big Beautiful Bill also comment on that that
up coming up at seven thirty, followed by Steve Belzo
from the Claremont County Veteran Services has some great information

(38:56):
to pass on to my veteran friends, and again salute
to the various veteran services out there, including Clairemont County
of course, for the great work they do for our
local veterans. State Senator George Langab talking about ohighest budget
at eight five, looking forward to having Senator lying on
the program, and of course it being Wednesday, we'll hear
from Judge Anena Politano, Independent State, twenty twenty five. Question,

(39:17):
are you freer now than the the folks were in
the colonies under King George? Good question and not quit, sir?
Which direction to go? There's still all this this swirling
question marks about illegal aliens on Medicaid. And one of

(39:38):
the problems was is the Senate Parliamentarian, as we were
bringing up in the last hour, struck various provisions from
the big beautiful bill because apparently they didn't pass the
bird test that you know, the bird bath that they
go through named after Senator Robert Byrd. This is again reconciliation.
Senators typically prohibited from using a reconciliation bill to advanced

(39:59):
provisions that are related to spending or taxes. Now, it
seems to me medicaid spending in the level of reimbursement,
because in any particular state is a spending related matter.
But it was Listen, the Senate Parliamentarian said it was
an instructive for vision. Out question is, are are we

(40:20):
providing illegal medicaid illegal immigrants? Senator Eric Schmidt's trying to
set the record straight, and this is what he had
to say, although it's still confusing, he post on x.
He dismissed himbers, suggesting that the medicaid ban for illegal
immigrants had been removed from the bill. I don't know
that it was a ban. Reference page six oh two,

(40:42):
section seventy seven one oh nine, saying, look right, there
remains part of the legislation. You said, the big beautiful
bill will remove medicaid coverage one point four illegal immigrants,
explaining that a Monday Voterama there was an amendment to
block medicaid for illegal immigrants and it was rejected. That
video spread around online that led people to believe that
the provision had been entirely removed for the bill. But

(41:03):
he clarified that this is just one of several what
they call messaging amendments to pressure Democrats into publicly exposing
opposing specific measures. They're on record now being against a
ban on medicaid funding for illegal immigrants convicted a serious crimes.
So it sort of a subset of the broader illegal
immigrant category, he said on his post on AX it

(41:24):
was meant to show the public how radical they are.
The ban itself was already in the bill, it was
never taken out, and it wasn't just a ban on
some medicaid for illegal immigrants with who commit heinous crimes.
It applies to all medicaid for all illegal immigrants, highlighting
the Senate version of the Big Beautiful Bill goes further
than just cutting off Medicaid access to one point four

(41:45):
million illegal immigrants. It does also mandate the state's verify
an applicant citizenship before granting coverage. That's still in there,
blocks automatic Medicaid rollment for children of illegal immigrants, and
explicitly bars DACA recipients from receiving medicaid. Back pointed out
that as of April twenty twenty five, Washington, d C.
Provides government funded health care to individuals regardless of their

(42:08):
immigration status. Additionally, seven states Colorado, California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Oregon,
and Washington along with DC, do offer government health care
to undocumented adults, but they shoulder the burden for that.
I think the provision that was the Senate parliamentarian struck
was a reduction in Medicaid reimbursement rates to those states

(42:31):
that do embrace and pay for illegal immigrants, although again
it's on the state dollar. The state funds that because
they're not eligible under current law, apparently, But all this
swirl around brings up all this question, who in the
hell is the Senate parliamentarian and what right does she
have to strike these various provisions. Elizabeth McDonagh's her name,

(42:51):
been doing this for a dozen years, described as the
Chambers referee, a non partisan enforcer of its rules and precedents,
and what typically is a behind the scenes advisory role.
A lot of Republicans came out and are very critical
of the decisions striking these various provisions. Oklahoma Senator Mark

(43:14):
Wayne Mullen to McDonald's rejection to some of the bill's provisions,
most importantly one that would have forced states to shoulder
more of the Medicaid funding burden. Scenes politically motivated Tommy
two Reveal senator from Alabama claimed that she should be
fired asap, while on the other hand, some GOP senators

(43:35):
defended her decision, insisting that while they might disagree with
some of her rulings, they would go ahead and abide
by them rather than seeking a vote to overrule them,
which was what Trump wanted to do. And you can
vote to override the parliamentary's decision, and you can also
replace her. From what I read this morning, it takes
fifty one votes. So when I put a new person

(43:57):
in there, that's maybe leans a little more politically to
our side of the ledger rather than the other side.
Senator Lindsay Graham said he had no intention of trying
to overrule the parliamentarium. Missouri Senator Josh Hawley said he
just can't imagine Republicans would have enough votes to do
so in a chamber where they only hold fifty three
steats seats, saying we're not going to throw the parliamentarian

(44:18):
under the bus. That a stavement from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski,
So don't you find it a little bit strange that
the Republicans could put somebody else in that place? And
that doesn't guarantee that the decisions wouldn't be the same
relative to this bird rule that has to be applied.

(44:39):
But they could vote to overrule the striking of those
various provisions under the Bird rule, and they could vote
to get her out of that particular role. They just
don't do it. And this sort of makes you scratch
your head.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Well why not?

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Those are pretty important provisions consistent with Donald trum you know,
messaging campaign promises and alike. Trump was on I commented
on this this past Friday. The parliamentarian has been a
little difficult, and I would say that I disagree with
the parliamentarian on some of the things, and on other
ways she's been fine, but we'll have to see not

(45:18):
exactly a profoundly a profound statement in so far as
directions to the Republican of what he wants them to do.
Apparently I don't know. She was the first woman to

(45:38):
serve as the parliamentarian and appointed by Democrats again, been
in the role for a long time. So I'm scratching
my head of the whole thing. And it is very
confusing as to where we are on this Medicaid coverage.
Apparently undocumented immingrants generally not eligible for federally funding Medicaid. Okay,

(46:01):
that's then the rule. The Center bill aimed to reduce
federal funding the states that use their own state funds
to provide medicaid coverage on documented immigrants. That was the
provision that was struck, which I think they were hoping
would act as an incentive for those states. Listen, if
you got a shoulder the larger share of the medicaid payment.
In other words, the Feds are not going to reimburse

(46:22):
you as much. If you have put illegal immigrants on
the Medicaid rolls. It's going to suck for you, and
that would force those states to reconsider their decision to
cover illegal immigrants, put them in a financial position. Hell,
California just had to change its law which expanded Medicaid
to all illegal immigrants pairrot back significantly because their budget

(46:44):
was collapsing. So that's effectively what it was trying to
move through. But where we are right now, I guess
I really can't say definitively. I personally have not sat
down with all nine hundred and seventy plus pages of
the bill to figure out what's in it, and I
didn't sit through the sixteen hour reading on Sunday five one, three, seven, four,

(47:05):
nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two
three talk oh pound five fifty on eight and t phones.
Maybe you can put some flesh on the bones of
what we're talking about here this morning. Maybe something else
is on your mind. Either way you want to go it,
say okay with me, and you might want to go
to QC Kinetics. If you're dealing with pain, knee pain
and hit pain, shoulder of pain. You've been deal with
it for a long time, been through a whole bunch
of different batteries of steroid shots and always comes back.

(47:27):
Now you're talking about surgery with your doctor, you know what,
how about trying something different before heading on off to
surgery and dealing with the issues and problems go along
with that. Why not give QC Kinetics a call and
take them up on their free consultation to find out
if these advanced cellular therapies like platelet rich plasma are
right for you. What these are designed to do is
help your body heal itself, no masking the pain. It

(47:49):
goes to the root of the problems. Cellular treatments contain
growth factors and healing properties that maximize your body's ability
to heal itself. And according to folks from QC Kinetics,
they got a ninety two percent stisfaction rate from their patients,
So that's pretty dang substantial. So before the S word,
and grabbing a hold of that when I'm going under
the knife. How much giving him a call? Why not

(48:09):
ask five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine,
five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.
That's five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.

Speaker 14 (48:17):

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Sixty KCD talk station, Happy Wednesday to you go to
the phones five went three seven eight two three talk
order in which they received, which means, Brian, you're first welcome.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
Hey, good morning, Brian, Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Right back at you.

Speaker 15 (49:33):
Yeah, I just listed yesterday.

Speaker 16 (49:35):
And the day.

Speaker 15 (49:36):
I think we need to make a full hour for
what Washington, d C, New York and Cincinnati politicians are
doing and make it all the stack of stupid.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
I have no argument with that.

Speaker 15 (49:49):
Yesterday especially, I mean stackas you went right into New York,
and that stack of stupid last in the nextra half
an hour.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Yeah, yeah, that place is falling apart. I still get
over the guy that's got the nominee for mayor of
the city that is just an outright communist, And I
don't know, I think it creates more problems for the Democrats.
Quite honest, with every talking head and every Democrat is
willing to offer an opinion on that once to duck
the issue. They're not endorsing that guy, they're not necessarily

(50:18):
dissing themselves from them, but they don't want to be
pinned to the commie label that their party is moving
more and more toward. I mean, what do they have
to offer as the party other people's money? Yeah, exactly,
free stuff and things.

Speaker 15 (50:33):
Exactly where's my free stuff?

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Yeah, that's what it boils down to. Yeah, if you
think a lot of people's hearts and minds can be
won over with the free stuff and things offered, So
that seems to be the only direction the Democrats have
to go these days. New Hampshire, Gary, Welcome back to
the Morning show. Always a pleasure hearing from you, sir, hey.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Speaking of stock and stupid and taking other people's monkey.
Let's talk about Ohio and that Paul Brown Stadium or
or the Cleveland Brown Stadium thing. Huh to talk about?
There you go giving other people other people's money all
alone on that and you're paying the interest. Isn't that great?

(51:18):
There's no difference between a communists and a Democrat and
my feelings they're not.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Well, well, that's that was that's the Republicans doing that.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Exactly. That's a communist.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Going back to Yeah, going back to Elon musk uniparty comment,
everybody's on pretty much the same piece of playing field.
Just who's getting the taxpayer dollars. Not a question of
whether or not anybody should get or labor, but it's
a question of whose interest of being served by which
which party?

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Hey, by the way, uh, what I really called about?
I just heard that I had to go on a tirade. Hey,
there's a really good picture of what's going on in
the Palisades, which is absolutely nothing. You know, all those
people up in the uh uh uh but what six
months after the fire and still nothing.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Well, it's one thing you can definitely say about California.
It is not a smooth process to get anything built there.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Well, I remember all the promises, Oh, we'll get it
cleaned up way. Oh well, you're just kidd it. Strike through.
So again more communist failure, failure. But they're not going
to be called on it because they can't wait for
the whole place to look like Detroit.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
They keep voting the same people back in office. Jick, Gary,
That's exactly what they're going to get, no question in
my mind. Hey, maybe this is an opportunity for change.
They went through so much garbage under the current administration.
Leadership out there obviously failed epically when it came to
dealing with the wildfire. The entire state failed epically when
it came to getting ahead of the wildfires and taking

(52:55):
care of the infrastructure and clearing the brush and making
sure the power lines were in good shape. Failure, failure, failure.
They had that reservoir shut off. It was completely drained
and empty because they didn't get around to fixing it
before the wildfires showed up. Wildfires that were predicted by
literally everyone. Songs have been written about the wildfires. They've
had wildfires in the past. It's a fact of life

(53:17):
living out there. But did the administration and prior administration
do anything. No, So, you know, the very definition is
stupid is doing the same thing over and over again
expecting a different result. Do you think they're going to
do that to themselves again when they get another chance
to go out to the voters and to to the
ballot box and vote. It seems to me they're maybe

(53:37):
ripe for a political change in the winds. I know
I'm talking about California here, but you know what, someone
who tries to be logical and spring from a sense
of common sense and reason and living and observing. We
live in a country where we have majority of people
who voted for Donald Trump. Donald Trump whose party has
gotten the Republican Party to expand to be the party

(53:58):
of the people, the working piece, not the elite rich,
which the Democrats always labeled the Republican Party of And
they still run around screaming oligarch here and oligarch there,
when in fact they're the ones that have gravitated over
to that elitist mentality and oligarch mentality. So I see
the possibility of change, and it's only within my lifetime.

(54:21):
The Republican the California went full on blue. Will people
change direction hoping for some different outcome. When you choose
a different direction with your political leaders, I think they.
I just seem to have read just the other day
that California relaxed a lot of these zoning laws which

(54:42):
prohibited development. Why because well, Pacific Palisades needs to be rebuilt.
The Democrats put all these rules and regulations and impediments
to development into law, and now they got a backpedal
on it when reality smacks them in the face. Hmm,
maybe we were wrong. At least in a crisis, they're
willing to unring that bell and make things a little smoother,

(55:05):
so people can move on with their lives, maybe because
their jobs depend upon it. Going back to my point
earlier about a change in the political wins six twenty sixth.
If you FI have KCD talk station, feel free to
agree or disagree, feel free to call in, feel free
to hang out. We're gonna do local stories next, apps
and phone calls and get in touch with the Emory

both boycotting Target and Walmart and McDonald's calling for a

and flag displays, saying stay home only support small local businesses,
not major corporations. Don't go out and protest on July fourth.

perceived to be a showing of patriotism. We wouldn't want
to have any of that. The guy behind this, some
guy named Schwartz. What's his first name, John Schwartz, People's

Little miniature plague update here locally since an area health
department asking residents to protect themselves after a mosquito sample
came back positive for West Nile virus, first contron confirmed
detection in the city this year, and the virus specifically
found in Madisonville, situated between Oakley, Fairfax and the Kenwood

(01:01:50):
Area Health officials conducting their routine watch from mosquito borne
disease by collecting and testing thesagidio samples. That's when they
found the West Nile virus in one of the samples.
Now asking residents take precautionary measures against the virus can
spread to humans through mosquito bites. We've just confirmed it's
here in our local mosquito population, they said in the release.

(01:02:11):
Dump standing water and where a mosquito repellent, especially at
dawn and dusk. They said, So those are two steps
you can take to reduce the mosquito population and protect
yourself from potentially cracking and collecting or contracting rather West Nile.

Fifty five KRC Taylor History fans, I heeartread.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
It's six forty fifty five KRC Detalk Station's very Happy
Wednesday to you call it. Earlier in the show, talking
about stories coming out of New York with the Communist
winning the primary, of course, the antics going on in Washington,
d C. With the big beautiful Bill, and the back
and forth between the even just within the Republican Party,

(01:04:08):
notwithstanding what the Democrats are saying about it, and the
craziness going on here in the city of Cincinnati. Crime
and the deafening silence from our elected officials and dealing
with crime and other elements all belong in the stack
is stupid and you couldn't make an argument with that.
And here's here's a similar one. We can throw this

(01:04:28):
into the mix, all right. So they just announced, and
you know, I don't know what the backstory is on this,
but apparently the j Edgar Hoover Building where the FBI
currently reside, is falling apart, and the Trump administration just
decided they're going to move the headquarters from the Jaegar
Hoover Building just down the street to the Ronald Reagan Building.
It's only a couple of blocks away, accord to the reports.

(01:04:49):
I'm not familiar with the geography and DC, but they
were talking about moving it farther away green Belt, Maryland specifically,
that's where the original decision they were going to change.
They had been talking about this for quite some time.
FBI Director Cash Hotel said moving to the Ronald Reagan
Building is the most cost effective and resource efficient way

(01:05:12):
to carry out our mission to protect American people in
the hold of constitution. The Hoover Building apparently is crumbling.
We could describe it as having crumbling infrastructure, and they've
had to put nets to keep the infrastructure from falling
on people's heads. Sounds like a familiar issue here in
the city of Cincinnati. Question of where to move the

(01:05:34):
FBI has been apparently a political fight. So Greenbelt, Maryland
or down the street to the Wagon Building. Apparently it's
going to the Reagon Building, FBI said in a statement yesterday.
The previous efforts focused on constructing a new suburban campus,
which would have cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and
would have taken years to construct. Going back to cash

(01:05:56):
Retel's point, this saves us all money, good and the
stack of stupid partkart comes in. Look. Someone wrote wtf
next to this. Democratic lawmakers immediately said they planned to
fight the switch from Greenbelt, Maryland to the Wagon building
down the street, saying the plan to move to green
Belt was already final and the money was appropriated. Now
we have a perfectly good space. It's just mere blocks

(01:06:18):
away and won't cost the taxpayer billions of dollars and
won't take years to construct. It's a much better, quicker plan,
and it works, says the head of the FBI. Of course,
the Democrats are going to fight it. It's something that
Donald Trump's administration wants to do in the name of
fiscal responsibility. Something actually is accomplished for us, and the
Democrats don't want to do it. Why well, we got

(01:06:39):
a money appropriated, Well tell you what, take it out
of the stack of appropriated money and put it someplace else,
or how about this just don't spend it period. Let's
score to the phones, Jamie, thanks for calling this morning.
Happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 17 (01:06:55):
Thanks Brian, good morning. In case anybody was still wondering
about my wine and his shenanigans during COVID, he vetos
three items that come against children and families directly. One
is the educational savings account for family to attend non charter,
non tax schools. The second is the cap on public schools,

(01:07:18):
where families would actually get money back if they are
holding more than fifty percent of the taxpayer money. And
third is keeping sexual content and books out of the
hands of children under the age of eighteen at the libraries.
He vetoed all three of the.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
Wow, I've seen other vetos. I had sixty seven of them.
I haven't had a chance to go through all of them,
but I makes you scratch your head and wonder why
what was wrong with those provisions. It seems to me
that that's the vast majority of Lisa's constituents one, I mean,
even constituents on the other side of the political ledger,
although I'm not sure what side of the political ledger
to Wine is on, but in terms of school choice

(01:07:56):
and education, I think most everybody wants that option on
their plate.

Speaker 17 (01:08:01):
Yeah. Well, I think there's some talks that they're going
to go back, and I mean, I guess there's a
mechanism to allow the House and the Senate to pull
those things.

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
Back in they can vote to override they can vote
to override the vetos.

Speaker 17 (01:08:16):
Yes, yeah, that would that would be the thing to do.
Like you said, the constituents those things. I don't understand
the library provision. To me, that is really out of bounds.
I mean he's basically saying no, they should have sexual
content books in their hands.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
Yeah, I don't. I don't get that one. I'd have
to read the specific provision that he vetos to understand
the size and scope of it. But my position on
that has always been, if you're in a k through
say six or eight, you know that that kindergarten through
say middle school level, you have your own library in
the school, At least I did growing up. It wasn't
a general public library where everything is widely available. And

(01:08:59):
I don't know that they can live content like you
can go in and get the Marquis de Sads one
hundred and twenty Days of Sodom at the public library.
And I wouldn't want any young person reading that horrific.
I mean, it's just disgusting what that guy was able
to come up with in his head. But there it
is readily available and the most graphic thing you've probably
ever read. But would you carry that particular book or

(01:09:21):
any of this other sexual content in a library that's
designed for young people, that is limited in size and
therefore limited in what it can even put on the shelves.
And what kind of twisted individual selects given the finite
amount of space sexual content for presentation to someone who's
say K through six. That decision making alone, I find

(01:09:43):
just just repellent. It's disgusting, it's abhorrent. You've chosen to
select sexually related content to the exclusion of literally everything
else that could have gone in that space, that limited
space on the shelf. That's crazy, folks. My standpoint, I'm sorry,
I'll get your call if you don't mind holding just
a minute. Got out of time in the segment with

(01:10:05):
that ramble. Foreign Exchange a great place to take your
imported car traditionally imported cars. I did they make quote
unquote imported cars here in America like Toyota's. But you know,
if you've got one, you want to go to Foreign
Exchange to save money. Now you will be very happy
with the service I have been for I think it's
at least a decade I've been taken money. I mean,
we all own imported cars in the Thomas family. So

(01:10:26):
that's where they go. And I wish I could calculate
how much money I've saved over the years by taking
it to Foreign Exchange. But it's a heap load. And
you have an a SE certified Master technician working on
your car. They have data access to the technical information,
software upgrades, they do everything. You get a full warranty
on parts in service. And difference between the dealer and
the independence at Foreign Exchange is the cost. And I'm

(01:10:48):
telling you autobile repairs have gone through the roof of late,
not that they were always, not that they were ever inexpensive.
So getting onto FOREGN Exchange. The Westchester locations one, I'm
recommending this the Tylersville Road off exit off of I
seventy five. I've just head east two streets hanging right
on Kinglyn Real short jog right there. Find him online
for an AX for in the letter X dot com
and please tell him Brian said, how when you give
him a call at that Westchester location five one three

(01:11:09):

six four four twenty six twenty six.

Speaker 14 (01:11:14):
Fifty five krc OHC since me.

Speaker 3 (01:11:17):
Talk station, Happy Wednesday again. So far as that provision
regarding the content of sexual orientation or gender content. It
was apparently all public libraries. It would have required public libraries,
not just ones limited to school libraries. The place books
contained a referencing sexual orientation or gender in an area
away from the public. Some argue, and maybe the reason
he struck it because even books that reference a female

(01:11:40):
character in the title could be blocked. That was the
I guess maybe it was just too broad for the
governor and therefore stricken. That's just one of many that
was vetoed Mike, thanks for holding. Welcome to the Morning Show, Hey.

Speaker 6 (01:11:51):
Ryan, but uh name of Madonna or whatever his name?

Speaker 7 (01:11:56):
Up?

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
And man Donnie, Yeah, mandanieah.

Speaker 18 (01:12:00):
A plit up a cartoonist alib i in there to day.
If you take the third and fourth letter of his
name and flit him and flip over the eye, it
sells Madman fair enough.

Speaker 3 (01:12:12):
I will be able to unsee that. Mike appreciate it.
I think we can. Most of us can agree that's
a pretty appropriate label for that guy. Corey, Welcome to
the Morning Show, Thanks for calling.

Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
Thanks you, Hey, morning I.

Speaker 19 (01:12:27):
Didn't know if you heard it. A gun decision and
I'll sit the court saying federal lall banning eighteen nineteen
twenty year olds from beible to buy hand guns and
carry concealed on its face, the law is unconstitutional. Well,
the Trump Department of Justice yesterday denied to great cert
to the United States of Supreme Court to fight that

(01:12:49):
challenge all on its face and listen to fit circuit
eighteen nineteen to twenty year olds have every brightness anyone
else to carry him buy a fire arm, which I
think is cypercent correct decision.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
Yeah, I mean they're adults. I don't know how you
draw a distinction between adult. You can be adult, you
can enter to a contract, you can buy a house,
you married, anything after the age of eighteen. I mean,
I think you should be able to drink, if you
can go serve your country in a war, if you
could be drafted, if we re implemented the draft. Why
not give you all the rights of an adult. What's
this whole idea that twenty one somehow makes you more

(01:13:22):
of an adult or something extra few years of life
experience makes you more constitutionally eligible. I'm with you, Corey,
appreciate the call, man, and I guess the US District
Court Kathy ben sevengo out in California issued in order
granting summary judgment finding California provision barring non residents from

(01:13:42):
applying for a concealed care license violates the Constitution, so
creating a second class of citizen California. If you move
out there and you're a non resident, but you want
a CCW license, they would say no, well not after
this particular case.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
He died.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
I've got Jay on the line. Jay, Welcome to the
Morning Show. Happy Wednesday.

Speaker 7 (01:14:04):
Hey, Brian, how are you well.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
I hope you can say the same good.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
Yeah, I can.

Speaker 10 (01:14:09):
Hey, I've talked to you before.

Speaker 20 (01:14:10):
I spent about twenty years in Portland, Oregon. You've seen
the demise of the city, especially the downtown area. If
the city council doesn't get its arms around this crime problem,
it's going to turn into another Baltimore, Portland.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
Seattle, Los Angeles. You can't let this stuff go. You know.

Speaker 20 (01:14:29):
I've attended Bullyink, I've attended Octoberfest, all the fun things
there are to do in OTR in downtown. The man,
if people still keep getting shot, people will stop going
downtown and it will fall apart.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
I saw it first, and you've talked about that before.
J I remember your calls about it. I know it's
a sickening and disturbing sight to see watching the city
that you love and it was once beautiful fall apart
because of well, failure of leadership. But you're right, it's
one of the criticism Christopher Smithman levies all the time
against the mayor and the city Council for not more
outright and outlawed supporting the police department, their effort to

(01:15:04):
crack down on crime, getting communities to work with and
cooperate with the police departments to help get rid of
the criminal element, to turn people in who they know
who have committed crimes. All of those things can go
a long way a long with what properly funding the
police department and getting enough officers on the street, patrolling
in neighborhoods, creating a visual presence so people feel safer
and are more willing than to enter into the greater

(01:15:26):
center of the Cincinnati area limits of the city of
Cincinnati without fear that they're going to get attacked. Silence
is profoundly deafening, And yeah, I hope it doesn't go
that way as well. Six point fifty five coming up
at six fifty six. Got a little bit to talk
about before we get the Donovan Neil on the Big
Beautiful Bill, as well as afp urging lawmakers to override
to wines vitas. Going back to the point the caller

(01:15:47):
made earlier about the education related vitas, be right back
after the news.

Speaker 21 (01:15:52):
President Trump made clear that a peaceful resolution was possible
if I Ran agreed to give up its nuclear weapons ambitions.

Speaker 12 (01:15:58):
Another updates at the top of the hour fifty five
krs the talk station.

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
This report is sponsored by Straight Talk seven oh five.
Here at fifty five can receive this meat Talk station

(01:16:26):
five Tight two three Talk nine five fifty on eighteen
and t found cheff Old on one second take your
call here to mom. We'll let you know Donovan and
Neil Americans for Prosperity urging wallmakers to override the wines vitas.
I was just looking at a long list of fairly
comprehensive list of what he vetoed and some pretty surprising
vetos built into are from Governor to Wine a puzzling

(01:16:46):
one to say the least. So Donovan and Neil on
that topic, as well as his comments on the so
called Big Beautiful Bill. Steve Belzo from the Kamerl County
Klemer County Veterans Services at seven forty has some interesting
and fun information to pass along to our veterans out there.
Senator George Lang State Senator. He'll be on the show
at eight oh five. He'll be talking about the Ohio
budget and maybe whether they will seek to override some

(01:17:08):
of those dwine vetos. Judge Edita Palitano on Independence Day,
which some left wing organizations are suggesting we sit out,
boycott Independence Day. We're not really independent, they say we aren't,
So stay home and don't participate, don't fly your flag,
don't go to a parade. Okay. I choose to go
the opposite direction of that conclusion. We need a celebrator

(01:17:30):
independence in our freedom. Remember remember we, you know, while
we still have some freedoms to celebrate. Judge Edalpano asking
sort of the rhetorical question, are we more free now
or than when we were under King George's thumb? Jeff,
welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling this morning.

Speaker 8 (01:17:46):
Comar In most important, I hope you and yours and
Joe and his are all healthy and happy.

Speaker 3 (01:17:53):
No complaints for me. I can't speak for Joe, but
my world's great and I appreciate you asking. I hope
you can say the same.

Speaker 8 (01:18:00):
Well, thank you, sir. Hey listen, what have your national
news on it?

Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
Yeah? Start over again, because I think your call dropped
out there. You said, now listen, so start from that point.

Speaker 8 (01:18:17):
No one can say your show is not fair and balanced,
because when I listen to your national news feed, I'm
constantly getting this crap about, like, for example, that the
guy just goes, well, your tax cuts were made, but
that's mostly for the rich, And I'm thinking, you idiot,

(01:18:38):
if you can add, subtract, multiply, and divide, you might
be able to figure out that the people that pay
the most taxes are going to get the biggest tax break.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
Duh. Yeah, yeah that's it.

Speaker 8 (01:18:54):
What is iHeart Radio of owned you know a portion
of the Democratic No.

Speaker 3 (01:19:00):
It's no, no, no, no, they it's at NBC News
and you buy the news feed, all right, So you
could buy Fox News. You can buy NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN,
pick a choice. They all have recorded news and they
offer it as a service, but you got to pay
for it. So I have a company that is looking
to keep its bottom line in order I won't speak

(01:19:21):
ill of my company because I don't want to necessarily
bite the hand that feeds me. But they went for
the cheapest news that was out there. That's how we
ended up with that. They selected it. They don't care
what the content is and they don't understand even that.
I don't think anybody in corporate even listens to the
fifty five KC Morning Show know what it's about. But
most of the radio stations in the iHeart lineup, there's

(01:19:41):
seven hundred and fifty of them, and they all basically,
can you know, have news to run on them, whether
they're music or talk or whatever. There's a multitude of
different programs out there. They have one news feed and
it's NBC.

Speaker 8 (01:19:56):
So well, I tell you what, Bud. In that case,
God bless iHeartRadio because they definitely are willing to put
a different point of view than I have. And if
you just listen to the people that agree with you
all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
You don't learn anything.

Speaker 8 (01:20:13):
So yeah, but y'all take care.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
And thank appreciate it, Jeff. And it is a constant
source of comments for a listening audience like why in
the hell is that being run? And then you listen
to the content, which is really it's kind of revealing,
isn't it. Joe Strecker, Occasionally his finger will slip and
you'll find that maybe content related to Hollywood or movies
that are coming out, or frivolous nonsense that they put

(01:20:36):
into the newsfeed. I know you don't know what I'm
talking about, Joe. I'm not putting words in your mouth,
but occasionally that won't run all the way. That's an
editorial decision being made right there. But my point on
it is, wait a second. Of all the things that
are going on in this world, the unlimited number of

(01:21:00):
well vitally important stories that are out there, ones that
might impact us directly, ones that had brought implications for
all of us, or famine, pestilence, disease, anything you want,
budgets here and there, whatever happens to me, they're going
to choose to use some segment of that limited amount
of time to run an article about what some Hollywood

(01:21:24):
celebrity said or did, or some new movie coming out.
Free advertising is what that sounds like. I think that's
very revealing. Anyway. Some of the vetos from Dwine is
the information's coming out. He did cut out the provision
that would require public libraries that place books referencing sexual

(01:21:45):
orientation or gender in an area away from the public
cut a provision that would have taken away some of
the school district's savings, one that would cap the carryover
revenue with fifty percent and then require anything above that
to be ref into you and me the taxpayer. Well,
Dwine apparently claimed that could have resulted in bankruptcy bankrupted

(01:22:07):
districts at multiple schools. Well, if he got a forty
percent carrier, that means he's sitting on a pile of money.
So I'm not sure why he vetoed that. One veto
to provision that would have helped us the property tax
property taxpayers out there, a provision that would have allowed
county budget commissions to unilaterally take money away from past
school levi's if they find it reasonably necessary. No longer

(01:22:30):
there vetoed what would have been a win for school
choice proponents like me, providing two point would have provided
two point five billion dollars over the buiannium for the
state's voucher system that'd give taxpayer dollars for students to
attend non charter, non public schools that would have been
moved toward school choice. Let us see cut a provision

(01:22:53):
requiring teenagers under the age of eighteen who have been
tried and convicted as adults to be committed to a
Department of Youth Service facility rather than Apartment of Rehabilitation
and Correction facilities. I don't know how that actually got
in there in the first instance. Now here's one somebody
were wtf after me cut an item that would have
stopped SNAP benefits for sugar sweetened beverages. Going back to

(01:23:15):
my point that I made yesterday an outrage over this.
You know, it's not nutrition. If it's sugar sweetened beverages
chock full of a whole bunch of sugar, it's not nutritional. Ergo,
it shouldn't be part of SNAP. In the first instance,
this would have removed it. He vetoed that provision. That
just really angers me, and no reporting on why. And

(01:23:36):
there's a whole It's like I said, there's sixty sevent
of these among you know, land and energy cuts, administrative vetos,
tax related vetos, education related vetos. But that one's got
out of my skin. Let's see what Eric's got this morning. Eric,
thanks for calling. Welcome to the morning show.

Speaker 7 (01:23:52):
Morning Brian.

Speaker 22 (01:23:53):
I just wanted to call and kind of congratulate Joe
on his fingerslip during the last news update that he
killed the K pop article or whatever the heck they were.

Speaker 8 (01:24:03):
Going to say.

Speaker 22 (01:24:04):
I know, and I just want to say thank you
for Joe.

Speaker 23 (01:24:08):
Thank God, bless Joe, my god, Hey man, brother, I
appreciate you pointing that out, the mystercent iteration of the fingerslip,
and I applaud Joe Strecker for me not having to
suffer through the K pop reporting as well.

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Just like I don't know what you're talking about. I
don't know what you're talking about. I have no idea
what you're talking about. Measure my dad back in when
he was still playing music on his morning show before
the went all political and which happened in the eighties
at some point. But he was still playing music when Madonna,
I believe her first album came out and she was

(01:24:47):
hits in the charts and all that kind of stuff,
and you couldn't get away from hearing a Madonna song
if you had the radio on, including AM radio. Well,
Dad had a rather elevated level of hatred towards Madonna
maybe kate, it's the wrong word. He didn't like her music,
didn't like her, didn't want to have anything to do
with her. So they had these what they called carts,
a little eight track kind of looking things, and occasionally

(01:25:09):
they did break because it was tape well anytime Madonna's
cart came up, because he would get a rundown of
all the songs he had to play that was pre programmed.
And here, Jerry, these are the times when you play
the following songs that he put him in a stack
when he was getting ready to do the show during
his show prep in the morning. That one always magically broke.

(01:25:32):
Every time it was there, it broke. They went through
a lot of carts with Madonna. I Love My Dad

in touch with Suzette Low's camp across Country Mortgage. Just
outstanding customer service. She is the best. And I even

(01:25:52):
got a separate independent email from one of my listeners
out there who took my advice to work with Susette
Lowe's camp and she helped him get out of a
real crazy situation hit his house paid off and there
were some some issues with regard to the title, I guess,
but she helped him out. He mentioned he was having

(01:26:13):
some sleepless nights over the problem behind the scenes, and
he said, imagine my surprise and delight when out of
the LUs she called me to inform me that she
had called in a favor to help me out, had
the releases located and forward them to me so that
I could relax. There were three releases, three open mortgages,
and they shouldn't have been there. So she figured it
out for him, just because he lamented to her during
the prime. The time he was going he was working

(01:26:35):
with her to refinance his mortgage. So it's got customer
service are the best. Whosette is absolutely phenomenal to what
she does. Been thirty five years in the mortgage business
team with Cross Country Mortgage. Whatever state you're sitting in
and hearing me from, she can help you out and
no junk fees or application fees, just great rates at
low cost and that superior customer service. So whatever your

As I mentioned earlier, and I'll mention it again today
since normally today would be listening lunch Day, we kicked
it off one week. That'll be next Wednesday, the ninth,
where we're going to be at Wandering Monsters Brewery and Barbecue,
Beachmont Avenue. So Herett's a really good place, so hope

(01:28:33):
to see you there. We usually start about eleven thirty.
You can feel free to show up when you want.
Some people show up a little bit later. Some people
are done eating by the time I get there, usually
about a quarter after eleven. But it's a really enjoyable time.
I just really appreciate meeting the listeners and hanging out
with them and join the fellowship. And you know, usually
one hundred percent like minded people are at least on
the same chunk of the political ledger. But everyone's invited,

(01:28:58):
but just come with a smile on your face. Again
Wandering Monsters next Wednesday. I hope you got some great
Independence Day plans coming up as well. We're talking about
d Wines, Vitas and just going through the list of
some of the other ones. He vetoed a provision that
would have required state employees to work in the office
full time. I guess part of me wants to understand

(01:29:19):
why he would do that, But an interesting requirement. How
many of you must go to the office to perform
your job every day doesn't seem like a big ask.
It was the norm before COVID shows up. Anyway, And
here's another one that might trouble some folks, and maybe

(01:29:40):
in the name of free speech, we're talking about state
owned buildings and property here, though, he removed a provision
that limited the type of flags that were allowed to
be displayed on Stato buildings and property, which would include
only the Hile flag, US flag, pow Mia flag, and
flags of official state agencies as approved by the governor.

(01:30:05):
So by removing that, he of course will be allowing
then a state building or administrative agency or otherwise to display,
for example, the LGBTQ Pride flag. I don't know if
that was his intent by removing that limitation, but it's removed.
Let's see here he've etoed a provision that would Sunset

(01:30:28):
the Film and Theater Production tax Credit program prohibiting the
award of the tax credit. Why are they entitled to
a tax credit? Is your business get one? It's like
a magnet to get Hollywood to come out here and
make movies or something. Anyway, it's not in there anymore,
they say. The lawmakers now do have an opportunity to

(01:30:49):
do line Item veto overrides, which I think is what
Donovan Neil is going to be advocating for. However, that
would require them to come back from their break. Three
fists of each chamber would be required to do. So
let me just ask you, sort of a hypothetic or
other a rhetorical question, do you think they'd be willing
to come back from break in order to override vetos. So,

(01:31:11):
still pouring through all the details of that one, and
still trying to figure out what's in the Big Beautiful
Bill and whether the House are representative moving on to
the National Big Beautiful Bill, whether there's enough House members
against it that it would prohibit it or prevent it
from passing. And some of the articles suggest as many
as twenty Republicans are against some of the changes to

(01:31:31):
send it made somewhat more cuts, and some are asking
for less fewer cuts. Medicaid of course a big, sticky
and hot topic, but right now it seems to be
moving in the right direction, more people speaking out positively
in favor of passage than negatively. But if you've got
that many question marks floating around, there is a significant

(01:31:52):
possibility that it will not pass. So you and I
will find out soon enough. Keep your popcorn out. And oh,
I got Joey on the phone, Joey, welcome to the program.
Happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 24 (01:32:07):
Hey, good morning, sir. Hey, I just wanted to speaking
of Mike to line. I lost a lot of interest
in him a long time ago. But the one thing
that really got my goat that still gets me about him,
and we easily forget this during the COVID era and
everybody was given these presidential like standings in these little
interviews in the evening and given updates and all that.

(01:32:30):
It was just such a charade. But the thing that
really took me off during COVID was he was given
away those free college education packages and money to people
that would go get the vaccine.

Speaker 3 (01:32:43):
Do you remember that, Yeah, vaguely. There were so many
crazy edicts and mandates from the variety of governors across
the entire nation. I have a difficult time separating one
crazy one from another, but there were certainly some crazy
ones from the Dwine administration.

Speaker 24 (01:33:00):
Yeah, that just really irked me. I mean, all you
had to do was go get the vaccine, and if
you you got picked, you you got to completely flee.

Speaker 8 (01:33:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean it was just ridiculous,
how absurd.

Speaker 24 (01:33:16):
And he jumped on that bandwagon too, and was given
that all away, and then they're they're stately looking, you know,
interviews in the evening when they would come on live
and interrupt and give updates and all that, and it
was just such nonsense.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
But there were.

Speaker 24 (01:33:33):
Plenty of other people that probably could have deservedly used
that education.

Speaker 10 (01:33:37):
But all you had to do was go get the vaccine.

Speaker 24 (01:33:40):
You know, wink wink, and and all of a sudden,
yours was free and you're all taken.

Speaker 7 (01:33:45):
Care of her.

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):

After I mentioned imaging. Imaging can be affordable, just don't
go to the hospital imaging department, huge overhead, massive fat
profit center for the hospitals. Echo cardiogram thirty five hundred

(01:34:30):
dollars at a hospital probably same amount for an mri
CT scan can set you back five thousand dollars, and
an ultrasound could be as up to as much as
two thousand dollars. These all can be done to affordable
imaging services, which use the same kind of equipment hospitals use.
Each image at affordable imaging services comes with a board
certified radialogist report included in the price, So don't pay

(01:34:51):
thirty five hundred dollars for that echo cardiogram. Pay five
hundred dollars without an enhancement eight hundred fifth yes, compared
to thirty five hundred dollars genuine say having my friend
Jeff sends me an email almost every time because he's
saved thirty one hundred dollars getting a CT scan at
Affordable Imaging Services versus the amount he would have paid
at the hospital. I call that genuine money. I don't

(01:35:12):
know where you are financially, but thirty one hundred dollars difference,
real savings all across the board, and they can get
you right in. There's no real waiting list in affordable imaging.

talk about the Ohio budget. Donovan and Neil from Americans

(01:36:46):
for Prosperity Welcome back to the show, Donovan. Always a
pleasure having you.

Speaker 13 (01:36:49):
On, Brian, Always great to be with you and happy
to be an opener for Buckeye Blueprint champion George Lang.

Speaker 10 (01:36:55):
He's one of the best.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
Yeah, and I'm looking forward to talking to him as well.
Maybe he can discuss why it is that Governor de
Wan vetoed so many provisions, sixty seven vetos. Now they
can override these vetos if they come back from their break.
Is my understanding, what's the percentage they need by way
of I mean, is this a super majority to override

(01:37:17):
veto Is it a simple majority? How does that work?
Do you know? Donovan?

Speaker 13 (01:37:21):
Yeah, And it's actually something we've done before. AFP was
part of this. You may remember late in the final
term for Governor Kasik, there were some medicaid provisions that
he vetoed. Legislature came back overrode his vetos. These were
waivers to save some money, bring some efficiency to that program.
So it's possible, and it's happened in recent history. It's

(01:37:43):
a two thirds majority, so that ninety nine members in
the House you need. What is that I think about
sixty three sixty sixty three somewhere in there, so two
thirds majority, it's not unfeasible. There's sixty five members in
the Republican caucus.

Speaker 7 (01:37:59):
In the House, the Senate, I think I.

Speaker 13 (01:38:01):
Would say it's probably a slam dunk for something like
a veto override. But the House is where you've got
to kind of watch and see who's available and around
to come back and get that done.

Speaker 3 (01:38:10):
Okay. And in terms of how this would work, are
would they vote to override all of the vetos across
the board or are they just going to hand pick
the ones that they really want to override? I mean,
do you have any insight into how that's going to
work or if it will work that way?

Speaker 13 (01:38:27):
My understanding and I have to take another look at
how all those how all this sort of comes together.
But my understanding is it is each individual veto has
to be voted on. You don't just vote to undo
the whole package. You have to pick and choose what
you're going to what you're gonna do there. But you
could do it all that just be sixty seven different votes,
I believe.

Speaker 3 (01:38:46):
Okay, So it's unlikely that they would vote on every
single veto then, is what you're saying.

Speaker 7 (01:38:52):
I think that's right.

Speaker 13 (01:38:53):
I think they probably would prioritize the ones where there's
the largest amount of consensus, things like property taxes or
reg reform.

Speaker 10 (01:39:00):
Or school choice.

Speaker 13 (01:39:00):
I would hope, and maybe some of this other stuff's
tackled in other future pieces of legislation.

Speaker 10 (01:39:06):
We would still get it all done this session, all.

Speaker 3 (01:39:07):
Right, which is a good segue into Americans for Prosperity.
What is AFP advocating for in terms of its choices
on what should be overridden?

Speaker 13 (01:39:17):
Yeah, well, well, you know, we issued our Buckeye Blueprint.
That's our policy agenda for this year. Big things like
tax reform. Moving on he to a flat tax. That's
mission accomplished. The governor recognized he couldn't veto that and
have it stand. But there's other major priorities property tax,
in particularly property tax reform. All the property tax reform provisions,
those were designed to provide immediate relief while also providing

(01:39:40):
structural reform to keep a property tax crisis like we're
experiencing right now happening. Again, those were all vetoed by
the governor. Reg reform, so the Rains Acts type provisions
that were included in the In the final version of
the budget that would have rained in executive overreach. There
was maybe a little bit of executive overreach, and he
v towed the ability to rein in his bureaucrats.

Speaker 3 (01:40:04):
That was well. That was the provision that if any
regulation that was implemented had a financial impact of what
more than one hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars,
then it had to be specifically voted on in the
legislative branch exactly.

Speaker 13 (01:40:20):
And so it's not saying you can't have a rule
that's going you know, you can't implement a new regulation
that's going to have a million dollar economic drag on.

Speaker 10 (01:40:27):
The state of Ohio.

Speaker 13 (01:40:27):
It just needs a little extra scrutiny. That was veto
to put on the cutter room floor. Did he explain
why there's put so with each of these vetos, the
governor does have to provide a veto message. I would
describe it as a pretty sterile message. I believe if
I recalled them, that was a pretty generic This slows
down the ability for the executive and our agencies to

(01:40:50):
do their job.

Speaker 3 (01:40:52):
Oh well, good, that's the point of it, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (01:40:57):
I agree?

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
I agree, Brian, You've got to put people on the
Are you in favor of this expensive regulation or do
you want to not have this expensive regulation? Vote on it.
I don't see a problem with that. That's actually disheartening
right there.

Speaker 13 (01:41:10):
Well, what's interesting, though, is this isn't unique. You know,
AFP's leading the charge on this rainsac reforms across the country.
Over twenty states have introduced or past reforms this year alone,
just the first six months of this year. States like
Kentucky with Andy Basheer, no surprise, he vetoed it.

Speaker 10 (01:41:26):
The legislature came back and slapped.

Speaker 13 (01:41:27):
Him down, although they're only a simple majority, but Wyoming,
even with Republican governors Wyoming vetoed, they.

Speaker 10 (01:41:33):
Came back and slapped him down.

Speaker 13 (01:41:35):
And so it actually is it's kind of a dramatic
finish to these sorts of reg reform ideas. Right when
the executive says I don't want more oversight and the
legislature comes back and overrides them. I think that's the
idea behind those bills, right, is that the legislature has
that oversight and if the governor fit to veto it,
I think it's right for the legislature to come back

(01:41:56):
and reassert their authority.

Speaker 10 (01:41:57):
It's why they put it in the bill in the
first place.

Speaker 3 (01:41:59):
Amen, brother, And with your encouragement from Americans for Prosperity,
maybe they would do just that. Pause. We'll bring Donald

the various dwine vetos which can be overridden, as he
explained in the last segments, need to come back and
do it. You picked out some other ones at AFP
that you want to override, Donovan. What might they be?

Speaker 13 (01:44:36):
Well, property tax, I mean you we've talked about this
on the show before, Brian. You hear it wherever you go,
from coffee shops to doors, which we do a lot
of doors here at AFP talking to voters, to roundtable
events with legislators. There's a property tax crisis here in
state of Ohio. The legislature put a number of provisions.
These weren't just ideas that they were trying to see

(01:44:57):
if they'd.

Speaker 10 (01:44:58):
Stick to the wall.

Speaker 13 (01:44:59):
Last year, Bryant, the legislature had a select committee that
came together, heard hours, hundreds of hours of testimony from
various groups, and developed they believe it was twenty one
recommendation list that was brought into this session. That list
was used to then develop dozens of pieces of legislation
that again got hundreds of hours of vetting and public

(01:45:21):
testimony and discussion in the State House over the last
six months. These ideas that were in this budget bill,
these handful of ideas that are in this budget bill
addressing the property tax crisis or among some of the
most vetted, well respected, kind of agreed upon ideas to
resolve not just the problem immediately, but also make some

(01:45:41):
of the structural changes.

Speaker 10 (01:45:43):
For some unknown reasons still, the.

Speaker 13 (01:45:44):
Governor saw fit to just strip those from the budget.
His argument was, we need to have a little more
vetting and bring together a working group to kind of
solve this property tax problem here in the state.

Speaker 7 (01:45:56):
It's insane to me.

Speaker 3 (01:45:57):
He was quoted as saying, I mean, first of all
at tax increases across will have strained many family budgets
and danger of the financial security of many unfixed incomes.
No kidding. Then he pivots over to the various vetos
that he did that were addressed to that problem. These
ideas were thoughtful, but I was also concerned that imposing them, now,
all of them at once, on our local schools would

(01:46:18):
create a huge, huge problem. Huh so care more about
the schools in the elderly?

Speaker 10 (01:46:27):
Well?

Speaker 13 (01:46:27):
Yeah, yeah, the problem is here and now. Right, the
Ohioans are facing the risk of losing their homes because
of out of control property taxes. Yeah, the crisis is here.
The problem is now, and the legislature put a handful solution.
There's more to be done, quite honestly, but the legislature
puts some solutions in to release some of that pressure

(01:46:47):
and give folks some breathing room.

Speaker 3 (01:46:49):
All of that left on the cutting room floor.

Speaker 10 (01:46:53):
Wow, all right, well what these what these would have done?

Speaker 13 (01:46:57):
These These aren't really controversial ideas either, right. It's ideas
like saying, hey, you know, we're going to empower the
County Budget Commission is local elected officials who oversee the
budgets in a county to have some additional oversight to say, hey,
if you're sitting on a large amount of cash balance
as a local government taxpayer dollars, and you're coming back

(01:47:19):
from more money to the taxpayers, you actually maybe shouldn't
do that, right and being able to tell them don't
do that.

Speaker 10 (01:47:26):
You can't go get more money.

Speaker 13 (01:47:27):
From the taxpayers right now until you spend the money
already are sitting on from them. Things like that provide
that immediate relief.

Speaker 3 (01:47:35):
But vetoed vetoed, as you.

Speaker 10 (01:47:39):
Can tell, it's a little frustrating.

Speaker 3 (01:47:40):
Yeah, I mean, there was one provision that would have
changed the authority of county budget commissions, allowing them to
unilaterally shrink a school district's levy passed by the voters.
I suppose that would apply in circumstances where the school
really doesn't need the money, given the cash reserves they
have they're sitting on, sitting on. Then they had the
cash balance carryover provision, which he vetoed, would have put
a forty percent cap in a school district carryover revenue

(01:48:01):
or the unspent funds of a district that they have
on hand at the end of a fiscal year. In
other words, they didn't spend what of the one hundred
percent revenue that they were entitled to, so they're sitting
on that. Then you can't ask for more and you
got to give back to the taxpayers anything over the
forty percent.

Speaker 10 (01:48:19):
That's right.

Speaker 13 (01:48:19):
Yeah, Well, the idea you're right is we wouldn't be
happy if Columbus was sitting on gobs of cash and
still taking money from our paychecks. And sales tax and
other mechanisms are right, and quite frankly.

Speaker 3 (01:48:30):
They haven't.

Speaker 13 (01:48:31):
Columbus has cut taxes over the last decade. We've gone
from nine tax brackets now we're down to one of
a rated two point seventy five percent. What was the
last time you heard of a school board, a city,
a county, at government actually lowering.

Speaker 10 (01:48:45):
Taxes on its citizens.

Speaker 13 (01:48:46):
I've yet to find that government that's that's done it.
Among the thirty nine hundred in.

Speaker 3 (01:48:50):
The state of Ohio, legitimate point down, vent O'Neil, Well,
hopefully you get them herded up rounded back into Columbus
and start voting on overwriting vetos. Good luck with the effort,
Donovan on behalf of all the property tax payers, and
of course people who are in favor of some school
choice and the like. Get to work. My friend, round
those cats up.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
So I'm forty eight, fifty five KRC The Talk Station.
Welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Shows. Steve Belzo,
Executive director of the Clarmont County Veterans Service Commission, helping
out our American veterans each and every day. God bless you,
Steve and everybody there for what you're doing for our veterans.
What a great program. It's an awesome program, right, and
you know one of the things you offer, and we
haven't talked and focused on this, We've mentioned it, you

(01:51:50):
brought it up, of course, but transportation, right, transportation to
medical appointments. This is something that Clarmont County Veterans Services
does in fact offer absolutely what a great thing.

Speaker 25 (01:52:00):
Yeah, you think about Uncle Joe, Granddad, Yeah, they're they're
up in age, they're they're still getting around, but putting
them in Cincinnati traffic is the scariest thing. Right, So
if you can have someone who can transport your loved
ones to and from the VA from their home, yeah,
what a phenomenal opportunity to get dad or mom off

(01:52:23):
the road that you know they're being driven safely.

Speaker 3 (01:52:25):
Yeah, that's a really excellent point when think about the seniors.
But you know, the practical reality is all of us have,
you know, issues that crop up in our day to
day lives. A lot of us are still working and
we can't take Dad over to get his appointment. As
much as we would want to as family members, it's
just not possible, absolutely valid. So how does the Clima

(01:52:46):
County Veteran Services manage the transportation? And we'll talk about
you know, how do you get in touch and we're
arrange at all the details on that, Steve right right,
you know, we are.

Speaker 25 (01:52:54):
Every county in Ohio has our office, the Veteran Service Office.
Every county handles transportation different It's up to the county commissioners,
the border commissioners of the Veterans Service. It's different from
your county commissioners to design what that transportation is going
to look like within their budget.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
Okay, so Orlando Sonza would be working with the Hamilton
County Veteran Services to decide how they are going to
offer transportation, which may be different than Claremont County.

Speaker 25 (01:53:24):
Absolutely, And you know there was a lot of rift
a number of months ago about Hull Hamilton was handling
the transportation of the veterans. But they were going to
change that and they're trying to adopt a new model
to transport veterans around it and good on them. The
county's a big county. Claremont were a little different. We
have four vehicles. I have nine drivers with a manager
over them to schedule all the transportation needs. So as

(01:53:47):
a veteran calls into the line and says, hey, I
need a ride down to the VA. But the interesting
part is the VA is trying to extend their service
time frame to handle veterans. Usually by sixteen usually by
four pm, their services stop at the VA. So what
the VA has done is they've contracted individuals physicians outside

(01:54:11):
who are able to see appointments even later through the afternoon.
Oh good, So now we're not just people think, wow,
this is only for a VA appointment. If I'm going
downtown to the VA. If the VA has scheduled the
appointment for you, even if it's with doctor Jim on
the West Side, we will take it to doctor Jim
on the west Side. If you're a Claremont County veteran,

(01:54:31):
Oh wow, so you.

Speaker 3 (01:54:32):
Will travel outside the county then yes, yes, how about that? Absolutely?

Speaker 25 (01:54:37):
Yeah, at the VA in Cincinnati scheduled the appointment on
your behalf to be seen by a physician, and you're
a Claremont County veteran, we will take you there.

Speaker 4 (01:54:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:54:45):
And you want to know where you do that clarmacatty
Veterans dot com. That's the website. Are there any physical
restrictions for those who can ride in the in the vehicles?

Speaker 7 (01:54:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:54:54):
Another Yeah, you're hitting it.

Speaker 25 (01:54:58):
I would say ambulatory only, meaning the those people who
can maneuver on their own. So what we do not
have are handicapped wheelchair accessible via lesh.

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
So what do we do for them? Well, we have
my next question. What about those guys? Ah? Great, leading,
So thank you for that low hanging fruit.

Speaker 12 (01:55:20):
Uh.

Speaker 25 (01:55:20):
So for those individuals, we have a relationship with Claremont
County Veterans or Claremont County Senior Services, who then will
transport the veteran. They have the wheelchair lift, they have
the individuals who are trained to handle individuals, lock the
chairs down and transport them to and from the VA
as we would have.

Speaker 3 (01:55:39):
Perfect so they are adequately covered along. This is correct,
all right, Now let's get to the fundamental point because
some of that there is going, well, I need a
ride to my adoctor's appointment. How does one How does
a veteran schedule their ride with the Clarmont County Veteran Services.

Speaker 25 (01:55:52):
So typically with the VA, you will know well in
advance that a appointment is coming up because of VA
will annoy you with four texts a week and a
phone call with reminders. So there is there's plenty of
lead times. So we need a phone call five days

(01:56:12):
before you're a point three so the management team can
ensure that we have enough drivers working that day and
can schedule the routes to pick veterans up. And that
phone number directly is five to one, three, five three six.
I'm sorry seven five one three seven three two seven
four seven to one.

Speaker 3 (01:56:33):
I'm gonna make sure you clarify that because that was
counting my notes when you started out there.

Speaker 25 (01:56:38):
Yes, yes, Climat County Senior Services, I was giving you.

Speaker 3 (01:56:40):
I'm sorry, seven three to two seventy four seventy one.
That's correct, fair enough, And there's a separate number for
the Senior Services UH and Clement County Veterans dot com.
Can you schedule an appoyment directly through the website?

Speaker 7 (01:56:51):
You cannot?

Speaker 3 (01:56:52):
You cannot? You cannot.

Speaker 25 (01:56:53):
It will give you the phone number direct to transportation.

Speaker 3 (01:56:57):
All right? Now, what are the guidelines of veterans need
to be aware of that are wanting to use the
Clermont County Veteran Services transportation? Sure?

Speaker 25 (01:57:04):
One of them is you need to be in our
system as a veteran, So we will need a copy
of D two fourteen. This is all held as PII
person identifiable Information, so we keep it secure.

Speaker 3 (01:57:14):
Now, wouldn't someone who's already hooked up with the since
ANYVA have that or you need it on separately on
file at the Veteran Services.

Speaker 25 (01:57:21):
Separately on file with us. We are not the VA,
right right, So although we if we have a power
of attorney, we can see into your records at the
VA and substantiate that However, to make it easier, if
if dad, granddad or the veteran has a copy of
d D two fourteen, bring it down, bring it with
you the day of your trip. Make a copy. Our

(01:57:41):
service officers are able to validate yes, this is an
actual D two fourteen.

Speaker 3 (01:57:45):
And so once that's on file, though, it's one and done. Correct. Okay,
so further transportation down the road, you've already got the
records perfect.

Speaker 25 (01:57:52):
Secondly, if they were to take their D two fourteen
to the Register of the County in Clarmont County, they
will give you a Claremont County Veteran's idea D.

Speaker 3 (01:58:00):
Yeah, we've talked about that, and that's a good thing
to get. Absolutely. Uh, federal holidays.

Speaker 25 (01:58:07):
You know that VA is quite unique for a federal organization.
They continue working on federal holidays. It's medical care, right.
Many think, well, well it's fourth of July Department. No,
they're not leaving Uncle Bob unplugged and unmonitored the fourth
of July, right, So the VA still schedules appointments during

(01:58:28):
federal holidays. So if you have an appointment out of
federal holiday, my drivers.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
Are working fantastic. Clarmont County Veterans dot com online, can't
schedule the transportation there. I'll give you that phone number again.
It's five one three seven three two seventy four seventy one.
And they offer a wealth of services to the veterans
out there in the community. So I recommend, regardless of
whether you need a media transportation, get the information go
to Clarmont County Veterans dot com so you know in

(01:58:54):
advance what they can do for you when the need arises,
like provide transportation. Steve Bell's oh, keep up the fan
castic work. My friend, can't thank you enough for the
work that you do. It's a pleasure to be here
with you. It's alway a pleasure to having you. In
seven fifty six fifty five KRC talk station, State Senator
George Lang he'll be talking about the Ohio budget right
off the top of the our news, followed by Judge
Ennitor POULTONO. I sure hope you can stick around. Big

(01:59:15):
things are happening.

Speaker 14 (01:59:16):
We're coming to you live right now.

Speaker 12 (01:59:18):
We'll tell you more at the top of the hour
six and eighty arrest just in this one operation.

Speaker 3 (01:59:22):
Fifty five KRC the talk station. This report is sponsored
by Bill. Listen, it's something.

Speaker 7 (01:59:29):
New, anything Trump does.

Speaker 8 (01:59:30):
I think she knows what is doing every day.

Speaker 21 (01:59:32):
What do we have Blue?

Speaker 3 (01:59:33):
You know fifty five KRC the talk station. Heighth five Here,
fifty five kr CD talk station. Happy Wednesday, Judge Ennital
Fulton about them in the hour as this case every Wednesday.
And I'm happy to welcome to the fifty five KRC
Morning Show. House State Senator George Lang, currently serving his
second term of the House State Representative people of the

(01:59:53):
fourth Senate District covering the majority Butler County, elected by
his Senate College the Service Senate Minority whip majority rather
with for the one hundred and six thirty six General Assembly.
He previously served a couple of terms Ohio House of Representatives.
And he's here in the fifty five Carssee Morning Show
to talk about the Ohio budget bill. Mike DeWine vetoed
sixty seven provisions in the bill. We'll talk a little

(02:00:14):
bit about that. Welcome back, Senator Lang. It's a pleasure
having you on the morning show.

Speaker 21 (02:00:20):
Brian Gabe, great to be back with you. Thanks for
having me my friend in sixty seven vetos. Can you
imagine that when was the last time you had to
sign something sixty seven times.

Speaker 3 (02:00:30):
You know, it's just fond memories of the two seconds
that Ronald Reagan had the line item veto and then
the Supreme Court found it unconstitutional. We do have it
in the state of Ohio for whatever good or bad
it brings about, and it brought about some bad the
other day, Mike DeWine sort of revealing his true nature politically.
But let's start by congratulating you and our other elected

(02:00:51):
officials for capping the income tax of two point seventy
five percent flat for everybody.

Speaker 21 (02:00:58):
You know, it's been my number one of since I
got up to the State House eight years ago, and
my ultimate goal is to eliminate the income tax all together. Yeah,
and you know, it may take Mica a week or
two to get over his cramping hands and maybe corporate
tunnel syndrome set in. I don't know, but I feel

(02:01:20):
really really good about our odds of eliminating the income
tax altogether under a Governor Ramaswami.

Speaker 3 (02:01:26):
Well, since the future governor of the State of o
how Ramaswami, was on my program yesterday. He embraced that
concept completely. I asked him about that very specific thing
he said absolutely, we are going to eliminate the income
tax completely. That I mean talk about creating a more
competitive state. It's going to be wonderful. It's going to
be wonderful for the state of Ohio, Mike, it really is.

Speaker 21 (02:01:48):
And if you just look at what happened in Ohio
in the last fifty years, go back with me to
nineteen seventy. Not only was the music a lot better
back then, but in nineteen seventy, Ohio itself was and Roland.
We're making automobiles, tires, consumer goods, steal We are the
economic epicenter of the United States of America. And fast

(02:02:11):
forward to twenty twenty. In nineteen seventy, Ohio was the
twelfth largest economy in the world. In twenty twenty, Ohio
became the twenty fourth largest economy in the world. We're
still slightly larger than Morocco, Mike, but we're shadow of
where we used to be. And Oh, I'm sorry, Brian.
And in nineteen seventy, Brian, the average Ohio and made

(02:02:33):
ten percent more than the average American, Bryan. In twenty twenty,
the average Ohioan made twelve percent less than the average American.
And in nineteen seventy, we go from twenty four congressmen
to fifteen. What happened the income tax. We put the
income tax in in nineteen seventy one. One tax after another,
one regulation after another, Brian, we started driving businesses away

(02:02:58):
and people went to where the jobs were. No state
in America got their butt kicked worst in Ohio in
terms of congressional representation loss from nineteen seventy to twenty twenty.
By the way, last year, the average Ohio and made
four percent more than the average American. And I guarantee
you we're going to add a congressman in twenty thirty.

Speaker 3 (02:03:18):
Appreciate your optimism, sharing the optimism of vivek Ramaswami, he man.
I'm telling you can't help but be enthus and optimistic
about the future. When you talk to that guy, he
really is a cheerleader for the state in the future.

Speaker 21 (02:03:32):
And you know, Ohio's future is bright. I mean, if
you just look at what does happened since we have
started lowering income sackers, and it started about twenty years ago.
We got real serious about it about eight years ago,
and look what happened, Brian. Look at all the companies
coming back to Ohio, Amazon, Honda, Google, Ford andrew Ell,

(02:03:55):
Intel building the biggest chips factory and the Galaxy right
here in Ohio. But what I'm more excited about BRN
are the little guys. In the last six years, two
point one million startup businesses in Ohio. Wow, more than
the previous twenty years COMBINEDIOA last year, fourteen percent of

(02:04:17):
all startups in America were in Ohio. We are the
startup capital of the world. We're just not the state
to keep your business or the state to start it.
I want to make us a state to grow it,
to keep it, and to stay here.

Speaker 3 (02:04:30):
Well, and also to market itself. So those businesses that
are dealing with outrageous taxes and outrageous regulatory issues that
they want to move to the state of Ohio, like
so many states are. So many companies did moving out
of New York and California. Now, speaking of that, I
understand that the governor one of the vetos. He stripped
out the Rains Acts, reforms that would have strengthened legislative

(02:04:52):
oversight of these ridiculously costly regulations. This is one of
the things Americans for Prosperity has its eye on by
way of overwriting the veto. Were you a little shocked
that he did that? And do you have any concept
of or any idea of knowing why Governor de Wine
pulled that particular one out.

Speaker 21 (02:05:10):
You know, I believe everything that Governor the Wine vetoed.

Speaker 7 (02:05:14):
His motives were pure. I do believe he's a good man.

Speaker 21 (02:05:17):
I believe I disagree with him often, but I believe
his votives were pure. But this one, I truly believe
that Governor de Wine thinks that government knows best. We
had a meeting with the Department of Taxation, with the
director and a few of their deputies several years ago,

(02:05:37):
with several of my colleagues in the House of Representatives,
myself and Senator Johnson, and it was obvious that the
bureaucrats were in charge. They did not listen to a
thing we said. We did not intimidate them, and it
was a simple fix that they could have made without

(02:05:58):
any legislative action, and they told us no. You know
that it's one of the problems with term limits, although
I fully support it, but term limits and you end
up giving power to lobbyists and bureaucrats, at least lobbyists.
I understand their motive. It is the profit motive, a
pure and noble motive. But these bureaucrats, they scare me

(02:06:19):
and I don't understand their motive. And they are they are.
They have way too much power and Columbus today.

Speaker 3 (02:06:26):
Well, and they're not accountable to the people. As you
point out, they're not elected, they don't have to run
for re election. They get to make any decision they
damn well please, and can well ignore the even just
the concept of representative democracy is he just pointed out
in that one illustration. So but I mean, whether his
motives are pure or not, he stripped out the Rains reforms,
which would put that power right back in the hands

(02:06:46):
of the legislative branch where it belongs.

Speaker 8 (02:06:49):
That's not as correct.

Speaker 21 (02:06:52):
And then very disappointing.

Speaker 3 (02:06:54):
All right, So what is there a time frame to
override these vetos? I know everybody's on break right now,
independency and otherwise, But are you gonna have to call
people back to Columbus to vote on these or can
you kick the can down for the road for a
month or two and then vote on repeals? How does
this work, Senator?

Speaker 7 (02:07:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (02:07:12):
Constitutionally, we have until the very last day of this
General Assembly, which would be December thirty first of twenty
twenty six. The reality is there are quite a few things.
I think, at least speaking on behalf of the Senate,
that we had a leadership meete and discussed a few

(02:07:33):
things that we think are important to override. You know,
every single override has to originate in the House, So
no matter what we do in the Senate, because this
is a House bill, it has to start in the House.
I think the simple to your answer to your question is, yeah,
we do have I believe the will for some VETO overrides.

(02:07:53):
I don't think we have the will to override all
the VETO overrides, but I think you will see us
do some. I don't think we'll be called back during
the summer. You know, everybody has summer plans. I have
recently been diagnosed with stage four colo rectal cancer. Some
treatments down in Tijuana in July. And don't you dare

(02:08:13):
awe me. I'm not a woe with me kind of guy.
I know you're not with you cancer kind of guy.

Speaker 3 (02:08:18):
I know you're not.

Speaker 21 (02:08:19):
I'm I'm taking I'm gonna kick your ass again. That's
that's that's.

Speaker 3 (02:08:23):
Good for you, man, That's a great attitude to have.
And I'm not a woe as me guy either. After
I got my parents a diagnosis, I'm playing that. I'm
playing the cards that I've been dealt. And uh, you know,
there are a lot more people out there that deserving a
prayer and sympathy than Brian Thomas. So I appreciate your optimism,
but best to health to you and good luck with
the fight, my friend. I know you can beat it.
He vetoed a lot of the property tax reforms that

(02:08:45):
were in the bill as well, and we are in
desperate need a property tax reform, most notably seniors on
fixed incomes. They're getting taxed right out of their houses. Senator,
you know.

Speaker 21 (02:08:56):
It's it's not just seniors on fixed income. It is many,
many people that the property taxes have been devastating to.
And the original intent of the property tax, Mike, when
it was originally passed, you had to vote on it.
And keep in mind of all property tax level levies

(02:09:17):
stayed local. None of it goes back to the state,
but you had to vote on it, and your property taxes,
the amount you personally paid would never go up unless
you voted for another increase, and there was a chance
that would go down is development and more homes were sold,
But it was originally set that.

Speaker 7 (02:09:37):
It would never go up. Well, as we know, we.

Speaker 21 (02:09:40):
Have bastardized that over the years and we have a
system now where when valuations are your property go up,
your property taxes go up commensurate with it. That was
never the intention of the when we originally allowed property taxes.
So we do need some reform so that every time

(02:10:00):
a school district, every time a municipality, a fire district,
a library, once more money, let them go to the people,
make their case and let them convince the voters why
they need more money. And you know, I do trust
the VOLT and then the good people at the since
I public schools. But you know we can't just give

(02:10:23):
them these bonuses every three years that valuations increase with
it has to stop.

Speaker 3 (02:10:30):
Yeah, I mean, it should be a limit. You know,
you're voting for X amount and that's all you are
going to get. If your property tire, your valuation of
your property goes up, you know, a thousand percent or something.
The amount of money taking shouldn't go up in a
commensurate amount. It's capped at whatever was voted on in
terms of overall dollars, right, is that how we're supposed
to have it here.

Speaker 21 (02:10:49):
That's how we were supposed to have it here, and
that's how we put it into the budget. Now that
there were some that actually wanted to punish school districts
and make it retroactive, I was not a monngst those,
you know. I don't think that it was the right
thing to do to make sure the school districts are
loss of money as a result of this, but just

(02:11:09):
to make sure they didn't get a windfall as a
result of this.

Speaker 3 (02:11:13):
Yeah, and I understand where you're coming from, because they
acted in reliance on what they expected to come in
and they planned accordingly, So to tell them it's taken
away would put a lot of districts in a rather
precarious position. So I understand where you're coming from on
that one.

Speaker 21 (02:11:27):
And the other thing on education, he vetoed the educational
savings account would allow some non chartered Christian schools for
lack of a better term, participate in the voucher program.
I was very disappointed in that as well.

Speaker 3 (02:11:41):
Yeah, and that's one that I find rather inexplicable. As well.
I mean, I thought he was a school choice kind
of leaning guy.

Speaker 21 (02:11:49):
Yeah, you know, and there is a great Monassory School
up in Liberty Township that does a wonderful job educating kids,
not indoctrinating them, but true teaching them how to think. Yeah,
and they're not able to participate in it. With this budget,
they would be allowed to participate in the program. And
the governor's veto that that is one of the ones

(02:12:12):
that I hope my colleagues take up as a priority
for an overriding.

Speaker 3 (02:12:16):
Yeah. And I suppose in terms of what my listening
audience can do being get in touch with the representatives
and tester them about bringing these to the floor for
a vote, so you'll have an opportunity to vote on
its senator.

Speaker 21 (02:12:27):
That is correct, yep, And it's got to start in
the House of Representatives. Call all your local House members
and encourage them to take up the charge for the
veto overriding.

Speaker 3 (02:12:38):
All right, Especially, I would argue that RAINS Act, the
Education savings accounts, any property tax reforms, we desperately need
that out here in the real world. Well, I'll look
forward to I guess this will be a piecemeal kind
of thing you can pick off one at a time
and over the period of time that you have, which
is basically about what eighteen months or a year and
a half or so.

Speaker 21 (02:12:59):
Yeah, is correct, And you know, keep in mind we
need sixty percent of the vote in order to do
an override. So I think it would be a mistake
for us to try to do too many at one understood,
because you know, there are certain things that some of
my colleagues, if they were left.

Speaker 7 (02:13:16):
Alone, would be a no vote on.

Speaker 21 (02:13:19):
And you know, the budget overall, usually you can get
people to vote for things that they don't like in
the budget. I have never voted for a budget that
I liked everything that was in it. But as long
as we continuing lowering taxes, lowering regulations, bringing businesses back,
making Ohio more prosperous, I'm going to vote.

Speaker 7 (02:13:38):
Yes on it.

Speaker 3 (02:13:40):
Senator George Lang, it has been a pleasure talking with you.
We show all the best in the world with your
cancer fight. I know you're going to beat it. Sound
really optimistic about that, and that's where it really starts,
my friend. I look forward to having you back on
the program to talk about well, future legislations, the repeals,
the votes and anything else going on to the state
of Ohio. You know you have a welcome spot here

We are independent of London, but are we independent of Washington?
He asked rhetorically, is there more freedom when governed by
one tyrant three thousand miles away or by three thousand
tyrants a few miles away? Does government today remotely resemble

(02:16:22):
the values articulated on July fourth, seventeen seventy six. I
think you know the direct answered all those questions and
go back to that Rains Act. He mentions this random
three thousand You know tyrants there probably more than that.
If you consider the entire administrative state, you know that
that the wine pulled out those Rains Acts provisions is
directly related to that concept. If it has a financial

(02:16:43):
impact beyond a certain dollar amount, any regulation that has
been promulgated and put out there by the eggheads in
the back room that aren't elected. The administrative state exists
behind the scenes in Columbus just like it does in DC.
If they put out a rule of regulation that causes
you and I have financial impact over a certain amount,
then the legislative branch has to vote on it specifically.
I mean they make these things up out a whole claw.

(02:17:05):
If they pass the law and then they give them
to the legisl or the administrative branch to start creating
all these regulations that are supposed to comply with. You know,
the perimeters and the scope of the law that was passed.
Our elected officials don't bother with actually you know the
specifics the underlying workings of the law that they pass.
It passed that responsibility on as someone in the back room,

(02:17:25):
and then they they can't be accountable for it. It's
amazing how that works. But you know why out loud,
would Governor de Wine remove the provision which protects you
and I and forces our elected officials to do their
job and specifically vote on things that have a profound
financial impact on us. Why would he do that? That's

(02:17:48):
a legitimate question. So get in touch with your your
representatives and tell them to vote to repeal the veto
of at least that provision. Coming up next Jodejennena Politano

Thank you, Brian. Did you send a copy of my

Speaker 3 (02:19:44):
But you know you would think he did. Excellent column.
By the way, I am a lucky man because I
get a copy of it early. It does come out tonight.
Independence Day twenty twenty five, and you post some very
good rhetorical questions out front and your honor.

Speaker 16 (02:19:56):
They read those first two or three.

Speaker 3 (02:19:58):
Yeah, independentive London, But are we independent of Washington? Is
there more freedom when governed by one tyrant three thousand
miles away, by three thousand tyrants a few miles away?
Does government today remotely resemble the values articulated on July fourth,
seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 16 (02:20:14):
Nobody wants to answer those questions. You know, taxation with
that representation as tyranny was their mantra in seventeen seventy six.
If you add up all the taxes, the maximum individual
tax imposed on any one person three percent. Today in

(02:20:35):
some parts of the country it's fifty nine percent. Three
percent was enough for a bloody revolution. Fifty nine percent
isn't even enough for Republicans to come to their senses.

Speaker 3 (02:20:46):
Well, you know, and I go back to the Constitutional
Amendment A longing for taxation of income tax that is
legalized slavery. I always express taxation is the form of
stealing my labor. I have no say over it. I
work and they take a chunk of my money. That
is my labor being taken from me in the form
of dollars and shipped off to the federal government to

(02:21:07):
do god knows what with.

Speaker 16 (02:21:08):
So Jefferson argued that the only moral commercial transaction is
one that is consensual. So if I want to purchase
a service from the federal government, like importing goods to
a port owned by the federal government sometimes called a tariff, okay,

(02:21:29):
that's a good for service. If I need some other
service from the federal government, I can pay for it.
But the idea of the federal government just glombing money
reaching into our pockets and redistributing wealth is antithetical to
the values of the Constitution. I don't know how that's
going to change without some kind of a revolution. You know,

(02:21:50):
this legislation that Trump wants with a very childlike name,
a big beautiful bill, yeah, which pass the Senate by
one vote thanks to an Ohioan who's the Vice President.
I honestly think if he were still the junior senator
from Ohio, he would have voted against it because it's
against something the things he believes in. But of course

(02:22:11):
he now is the President's guy, and he'd have serious
problems if he had broken the tie the other way
because he doesn't believe in increasing the debt. He doesn't
believe in adding one hundred I'm speaking of Vice President Vans,
of course, formerly Senator Vans from Ohio. He doesn't believe
in a trillion dollar defense budget to finance seven hundred

(02:22:36):
and fifty military installations in eighty foreign countries. Come on,
nobody could even name the eighty countries, much less than
seven hundred and fifty installations or what the hell they're doing.

Speaker 3 (02:22:49):
It really is an amazing military footprint that we have
out in the world. Of Course, the Chinese Communist Party,
envious of it, would like to substitute the United States president,
but then they would have the same financial problems on
their hands as we have currently. A trillion dollars is
an outrageous amount, and I always predicate that on qualifying,
and my listening audience knows. I am a fan and
a assistant, and I try to help the American veterans

(02:23:10):
whenever I can. I appreciate the fact that we have
a US military, and I appreciate there are people willing
to sign on the dotted line and lists for service
when they have god knows no idea where they're going
to be going. I consider them brave and patriotic. That said,
the federal budget for military spending and the military spending itself,
they can't even pass an audit. They've tried eight times

(02:23:32):
and they can't. They don't have the documents or information
to qualify for an audit. And I see all the fraud,
waste and abuse that's going on, whether it's been identified
specifically or not. We got Medicaid fraud, we got Medicare fraud,
we got every giant government program fraud, all those COVID
nineteen programs that went out there. Fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud,
you know, damn well, there's all kinds of fraud, wasting
abuse in that trillion dollar annual military budget.

Speaker 16 (02:23:54):
In the government Madison and Jefferson gave us, there would
have been no place for this. We wouldn't have had
a standing army, we wouldn't have a Department of Health
and Human Services. That wouldn't be Medicaid or Medicare. There
would be private insurance or charitable institutions as there was
before Social Security, and then Medicare and Medicaid came along.

(02:24:17):
But now this is why I ask, we are no
longer dependent on London, but we are dependent on Washington.
Half the country is dependent on the government, either receiving
government benefits, getting bills paid by the government, selling something
to the government, or working for it. That is inconceivable

(02:24:41):
to the founders that the federal government would become so big,
so fat, so antithetical to the small government maximum individual
values of July fourth, seventeen seventy six.

Speaker 3 (02:24:55):
It really is, and you know, so much of it's
built on this sort of I think Judeo Christian notion
that we need to help our suffering brothers and sisters
out of the world. But that's the obligation of someone
with faith, that's the obligation of the individual. That's the
obligation of you and I, and that helps limit the
number of people who actually are looking for a handout.

(02:25:16):
But when you go ahead and the government takes over
that role in the name of doing something right for humanity,
more and more people will hook themselves up to that
just because it's convenient and easy to do so. And
the government is a terrible overseer of whether someone is
really truly deserving a needing of these various services. They
just become well people hooking up their umbilical court to

(02:25:37):
government and just calling to day on their own person responsibility.

Speaker 16 (02:25:40):
Look, charity. The word charity comes from the Latin caratas,
which means your heart. It is impossible to be charitable
with someone else's money. You can only be charitable with
your own. This is not charity. This is government force
taking money out of our pockets and redistribitting it to

(02:26:00):
the less fortunate. Do we have a moral obligation to
help the less fortunate? Individuals who embrace the Judaeo Christian
morality do, But the government doesn't have the right to
take that money from us and give it away. This
is almost an insoluble problem without the concept of repudiation.

(02:26:22):
Repudiation means repudiating the nation's dead. How the hell are
we going to pay back thirty seven trillion dollars? Well,
this so called big beautiful bill. If I were on
the floor of the House standing next to Congress and Massey,
I would look at my colleagues and say, you must
hate your grandchildren, hate them because you just raised their

(02:26:42):
taxes by fifteen or twenty percent in order to pay
back the money that you're borrowing to spend today. Now,
what is repudiation. Repudiation happens when the borrower can no
longer pay back the debt because the borrower is a
known bankrupt to which the creditor should never have loan

(02:27:08):
his money. So all those people and entities that buy
federal government bonds are lending money to a known bankrupt
that does not have the ability to pay them back,
that has to borrow money in order to pay back
the interest on borrowed money. That is a recipe for repudiation.

(02:27:29):
And of course the outcome for repudiation would be nobody
would ever lend the federal governor Nickel again, Good, the
Feds would have to live within their budget.

Speaker 7 (02:27:37):
Good.

Speaker 3 (02:27:40):
Yes, you're making perfect sense. And maybe that's exactly what
they're setting themselves up for, because at some point, you know,
the US fiat currency is not going to be the
number one, most reliable, most countable on currency out in
the world. Something can rise to take its place, crypto
or otherwise, and they'll quit borrowing money and putting in
a US Treasury bonds.

Speaker 16 (02:27:58):
Correct, But that is going to happen in your and
my lifetime. I don't know that this repudiation is but
the collapse of the dollar I think will happen quickly.
It'll either be crypto or it'll be bricks. I mean bricks.
Right now is a far larger economy than what the
dollar funds. And you may not like those countries Brazil, Russia, Iran, China,

(02:28:26):
South Africa, they are as financially they are more financially
stable than the United States, with far less debt.

Speaker 3 (02:28:34):
Well, that makes their currency a little bit more reliable
as far as I'm concerned, because we're on a train wreck.
And you know, Senator Paul makes a great point. Five
trillion dollars. You're increasing debt, sealing five trillion dollars. They're
just going to go on autopilot and dig us five
more trillion dollars into the whole to guarantee at this point.

Speaker 16 (02:28:51):
Correct, correct, Right now, the government collects about five to
six trillion in income taxes and other fees. More than
a trillion of that right off the top interest pay
that service, you get more than a trillion of that
right off the top Defense Department, more than a trillion

(02:29:14):
of that right off the top Wealth distribution.

Speaker 3 (02:29:19):
Well, and the unknown CIA budget, which may very well
be in and of itself a trillion dollars, We just
don't know.

Speaker 16 (02:29:26):
Unknown, Brian. What about that clause in the Constitution that
little Jimmy put in there, no money shall be taken
from the federal treasury but that which is recorded in
a public journal.

Speaker 3 (02:29:39):
Well, well you didn't. You didn't see the asterisk there
except for Langley, Virginia, except for what goes on it
Langley Judgeopolitano. A delightful conversation, and of course one little
it's one that makes people think about it, pause and think, hmm.
Maybe he has a great point there. He does check

(02:30:00):
it out tonight, Independence Day twenty twenty five. Are you
going to be talking to today on judging freedom?

Speaker 16 (02:30:05):
I have Aaron Monte, Phil Giraldi, and Max Bloomenthal, all
equally hot as you and I about what we've just
been discussing. It's a pleasure, Brian. I look forward to
the three day weekend. I hope you do as well,
and see you next week.

Speaker 3 (02:30:21):
Hey, man, brother, stay well, it's a forty right now.
Fifty five kr ce DE talk station.

Don't go away if you right back, fifty five krc.

Speaker 4 (02:30:28):
Touching en rules you want to reocurate?

Speaker 3 (02:30:29):
Hey, forty seven and fifty five KRCD talk station. Happy Wednesday.
I'm off on Friday. It's going to be a best
of show. And as I was talking with Joe about that,
if I was going to have somebody cover for me
or do a best of, he says best of? I said, well,
can we get Tech Friday's Dave had her on tomorrow?
He said, already done it. There's the brilliance at Joe
Strekker right there. So a Thursday edition of Tech Friday.

(02:30:50):
I'm not sure if he's going to mention it, but
FBI did issue a warning to basically everyone here in
the United States that Iranians maybe starting to engage in
fiber attacks given our air strikes on their country's nuclear program.
So he said, defense industrial based companies, particularly those possessing
or holding relationships with Israeli research and defense firms, are

(02:31:10):
at increased risk. But basically the risk is out for everyone.
Are online act activists of increasingly conducted website defacements and
leaks of sensitive information exfiltrated from the victims. So d
doos attacks, denial, denial, service tax and that kind of
thing going on, and they expected to increase beyond guard

(02:31:32):
take Dave Hatter's advice. Oh and one more thing in
the Ohio budget bill. I started out the program this
morning talking about it doing the job that parents should
be doing. I started with this survey that Harris Poll did.
They ask parents, you know, what do they wish had

(02:31:52):
never been invented when they think about their children growing up?
Number one adult online content? Number two social media and
number three messaging apps. Number four smartphones generally video games,
the internet, streaming services, and television order in which those
things the parents wish didn't exist. And I kind of
chuckle over that because parents are in the position and
ability to take all that away. Don't give you a

(02:32:15):
kid a smartphone. You don't have to worry about them
accessing porn online. I mean, if they go to the
neighbor's house and they have an online computer, of course
they can do it. There's always workarounds, but removing the
cell phone huge step in the right direction. And why
would you send your cell phone with your child to school?
They're just going to be on it all day. Well,
the legislative branch and the governor have just signed into

(02:32:35):
law in the budget bill banning cell phone use in schools.
One of the reasons articulated implementing the statewide ban in
school lawmakers, rather than teachers or parents, then become the
bad guys limiting access to cell phone, so they did
the job for you. Anyway, it's under most circumstances K

(02:33:00):
through twelve public schools will not children will not be
allowed to use cell phones. Districts have to adopt their
own policies by January first of next year, so there'll
be some circumstances where kids will have access to phones,
but it must be specifically defined and it bans the
cell phone use during the instructional day. That's in quotes,

(02:33:21):
what does that mean? Jane Timkin offered that it meant
the first bell in the morning until the final bell
at the end of the day. But I don't think
it's defined in the legislation. Maybe that gives school districts
some flexibility on what an instructional day is, because maybe
there'll be periods during the day that aren't considered instructional,
and then kids will have access to and ability to
use their smartphones. I don't know. Going back to some

(02:33:41):
of the points Judgenda Platano made, I thought, you know,
we do put much control and power in the in
the hands of the government, and they're irresponsible stewards of
our money generally speaking. Most notably, let's use an illustration here,
a perfect one from the Wall Street Journals. William goalson today,
the social security crisis is coming. This has been red
flags weighed about the problems of social security now for

(02:34:02):
years and years, our elected officials have never lifted a
finger to solve the problem or correct it early. Now
we've got a train wreck coming, he writes. Today's political
den makes it difficult for genuine warning calls to break through.
But the Social Security systems trustees in late June sent
a signal so alarming that America can't ignore it unless
lawmakers do something. The Systems Trust Fund will be exhausted

(02:34:24):
in the first quarter of twenty thirty three, sooner than
earlier reports predicted. This crisis will trigger large cuts in
benefits to current and new beneficiaries. So, my folks on
fixed incomes out there living on Social Security, big problem
coming your way. To preserve social security, Congress will need
to address the coming insolvency crisis no later than next

(02:34:46):
the next president's first term. Time isn't on our siety, writes.
Lawmakers acted tomorrow. Restoring social securities. Long term solvency would
require a twenty two percent benefit cut for current and
future beneficiaries and a payroll tax increased to sixteen percent
from the current twelve or a combination of cuts and

(02:35:08):
tax heights. If we wait until the trust FULM was
depleted again twenty thirty three, we would have to cut
benefits by twenty six percent or the payroll tax would
have to rise to nearly seventeen percent. Points of new
factors explained why social Security is on this trajectory. The
US is rapidly aging the number of beneficiaries rising a
lot faster than the number of workers paying into the system,

(02:35:31):
and the end of this democratic transition is decades away.
Just in two thousand, three point five million Americans eligible
for Social Security. This year sixty four point seven, we
went from twelve percent roughly the total eligible population to
eighteen point six percent. It's on the rise, baby boomers,

(02:35:51):
they say. By twenty thirty five, the SOI Security Trustee
project the number of eligible Americans sixty five and order
will rise to nearly twenty percent, while the total population
and will increase by only five nobody's having babies anymore.
Plus we're living longer, he writes, two thousand, average sixty
five year olds could expect to live for about seventeen
and a half years. By this year, it's risen to

(02:36:12):
more than nineteen point seven years, and demographers project that
figure is going to continue to go up. So security
expenditures have risen from their fifty year average to a
much more sizable amount of gross domestic product this year,
this year, and even more of course, in twenty thirty five.
Declining fertility means fewer workers to support each beneficiary. In

(02:36:36):
two thousand and three point four workers per beneficiary. In
twenty twenty four it was two point seven, and over
the next day that's projected to drop down to two
point three, which is why payroll taxes for current workers
would have to increase so steeply by twenty thirty three
to sustain the system without any benefit cuts. You can
count on benefit cuts absolutely. That piece of paper, they say,

(02:37:00):
and you read it carefully, the one that shows you
what your earnings were over your lifetime and tells you
what your suggested payout is going to be. They write
right in that it's not a guarantee. It's merely a
calculation based upon current conditions today. So I'm not sure
if you're in a position to tighten your belt, but
you better be prepared because this is coming. And isn't

(02:37:22):
it crazy. They've known about this for such a long time.
Every year they come out with these projections, it just
gets worse and worse and more dire. But it's the
third rail of politics. No one touches it. We're not
going to do anything. This does is security, says everyone
from both political stripes. Hey, you relied on it. I

(02:37:43):
know you were forced to, But there's just a great
illustration of the failure of government to mine the store
and make the hard choices. Eight fifty five fifty five
KCD talk station. Again, we have a Thursday edition of
