Speaker 1 (00:07):
Bibo five if if you've got k r C the
talk station, Happy Wednesday, well vation, no idea?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, I know I kind of feel that way some
days too. Happy Wednesday, folks. Martin Thomas right here inviting
everybody to listener to lunch. Listen to lunch with mem Brewery.
I love that place. I got great food. They always
treat us really well. And of course every listener lunch
is an opportunity to engage in fellowship, enjoying each other's company.
The Germans would call it ummunsually kite. Anyhow, a lot
of good times at listener lunch. So appreciate folks that

(00:54):
show up. Really does kind of keeps me going, you
know what I mean. It's just engaging with folks and talking.
Maybe a little bit of politics, but enjoying each other's company.
That's what it's all about. So today about eleven thirty
rough plus and minus at Weedham and Brewery coming up
with a fify five carese morning Show. Thank you Joe Strecker,
executive producer for lining up program. You do such a
wonderful job. Donovan and Neil Americans for prosperity. It is Wednesday.

(01:16):
We talked to Donovan every Wednesday. At seven thirty. Today,
Donovan will enlighten us on what the Protect Prosperity campaign
is all about. Americans for Prosperities, Protect Prosperity Campaign, and
the return is Steve Belza from the Klemont County Veteran Services.
We're going to learn about the Emergency Financial Assistance Program.
Lots of good things the Klemont County Veteran Services are

(01:38):
doing for our local veterans. Mark Levin, you know him,
is going to join the program a Dato five. He's
got a brand new book. It's called On Power, an
Analysis of the philosophy and structure of power and the
critical impact of liberty on our collective future. Noting that

(01:58):
power has been used to both appress and liberate, He's
going to compare the two. Some use it to exploit, destroy, monarchs, dictators,
elites who impose tyranny, to seek to consolidate power, stripping
freedom from individuals to maintain control over society. A lot

(02:19):
of that going on these days. So on Power at
eight five follow by Judge Annapolitano. He'll be talking about
the Texas elected officials, the legislature that well ran away
I keep thinking of Mighty Python and the search for
the Holy Grail, run Away, run away, which is exactly

(02:39):
what the Democrats did in order to deprive. They deny
the quorum, the two thirds quorum that was needed to
enact the legislation. The legislation in this particular case, redistricting
and Texas. Some are complaining that, well, you know, it's
off cycle. Nobody really does redistricting in the middle of
before the census comes out. Well, there's no law against it.

(03:02):
I guess the Republicans of Texas is going to decide
whether it's bad politics or not. And of course the
knee jerk reaction from Democrats in California and New York is, well,
we're going to redistrict too. Okay, you guys do it
all the time, Tay. Take a look at the Illinois
legislative map. Can you tell me that isn't a crazy
exercise at jerrymandering anyhow? So there's your lineup for today,

(03:25):
and I love hearing from you. Is seeking feel free
to call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred eighty two to three talk found five fifty
on at and T funds. Of course, you heard the
response from Sinsi City Council their proposal address the youth
violence in downtown by changing the curfew. But before we
get to that, I just wanted to give you an update. Uh.

(03:46):
This is truly amazing. Been sort of keeping track of
the Gifts Send Go campaign for Holly the victim of
the brutal beatdown. That was the woman who was attacked
just cole cock in the face, knocked her out into
the ground, eating profusely. The damage is obvious that the
after pictures of that been widely circulated. I rarely ever

(04:08):
bring up celebrities and on the fifty five Caresey Morning
Show because they're just one person, just like you or I,
but they do tend to have a broader reach and
voice because they are well movie stars. Charlie Sheen donated
a Holly's campaign, which is rather interesting. Benny Johnson, I'm

(04:28):
not sure if you're familiar with them. Podcast for Benny
Johnson's one that started this along with the help of
Bernie Morena to some degree, and Charlie Sheen gave him
both credit. So, Benny, I was merely following your gracious lead.
The speed at which you and Senator Moreno had. The
donation plan was stunning and compassionate and as patriotic as
it gets. You both reminded all of us of the
America we remain proud to call home. Keep up the

(04:51):
great work, and Holly, we have your six I'm not
sure how much you donated. It wasn't reported in the article,
but yesterday I noted that in a matter of one day,
twenty four hours passed, the fund in the campaign had
jumped one hundred thousand dollars. Well, yes, here we are.
Another day has passed and another increase of close to

(05:12):
one hundred thousand dollars. I wake up this morning and
find the campaign is so far raised five hundred and
twenty five thousand plus dollars and again mostly small contributions
going into this. So the more this message gets sent around,
and you know, maybe this is the upside to Cincinnati
being put on the map because of crime. This hasn't

(05:39):
hadn't reached nationwide attention, global attention. Actually, I'm sure this
campaign wouldn't have been raised as much as it raised.
I mean, the original goal is twenty five thousand dollars.
And she may have some lasting cognitive problems, and that's
one of the real concerns. So she's going to have
lasting medical bills and apparently not able to work and everything,
so certainly needs a little bit of money to get

(06:00):
her through. And I imagine five hundred and twenty five
thousand and rising shot in the arm is nothing but
welcome news to Holly as she recovers from her injuries.
So pretty cool. Anyhow, so they're modifying the juvenile They're
gonna vote on it today. It seems pretty It seems

(06:21):
like a lock that it's going to be approved completely
by Sinceinny City Council. But the Sinceinni Public Safety and
Governance Committee yesterday proposed some curfew changes for the city.
According to the emergency Ordinance, the new curfew would be
changed to eleven pm for everyone under the age of
eighteen for the entire city, every day Monday through the

(06:42):
whole week. Now. City Solicitor Emily smart Warner, I guess,
speaking with Mary Labus over at Fox nineteen or just
maybe in the meeting, said this previously. The current curfew
that is in place is ten pm for those under
sixteen and midnight for those under eighteen, which just makes

(07:04):
enforcement a little more difficult. I guess you know a
police officer. I mean, you think about it. At ten pm,
you see youths gathered together or a random youth wandering
around the street. Should that person be out? If they're
over the age of eighteen, then they're allowed to be
out until midnight or under eighteen? Midnight, under sixteen? Ten pm,

(07:28):
So you're gonna have to determine their age. And I
don't know, do you think they carry their drivers? Do
you have a driver's license? Do they carry a state
issued identification card with them? I mean, I'm trying to
struggle to remember. You know, when I was fifteen years old,
I don't recall having a state identification card. Before I
got a driver's license, there was no way for me

(07:50):
to confirm my age. So I guess it's a matter
of trust. But you had to find if you had
to figure out whether the kid was, you know, allowed
to be out or not? Okay or midnight? It's after
ten pm? Are you sixteen? Are you under sixteen? So
I get that it would be difficult to enforce. So
every body eleven pm under eighteen off the streets now.

(08:14):
Apparently the second Emergency Ordinance makes the Central Business District
and over the Rhine what they call a special curfew district. Now,
the curfew in these areas nine pm and five between
nine am or nine pm or other and five am
every day for just those two areas corner city insides.

(08:39):
Both neighborhoods have seen more crime to property than any
other offenses, specifically personal, theests and tests and vehicles. The
Chief DJ speaking said, modifying curfews is something my colleagues
chiefs across the country are being forced to take a
look at because they are dealing with some of the
same issues that we are. Oh, look, Washington, d C.
Same problem. Trump had a comment or two about that.

(09:01):
I guess they're experiencing the same youth violent crime in Washington, DC,
a problem that's going on all across this great land
of ours. I still just I step back from this issue,
and I still scratch my head and wonder what kind
of parent would allow their children out or not care

(09:22):
that they are out at these crazy hours. Is this
absolutely no concern whatsoever? You think the simple reality of
a blood relation, that is your offspring out there running
a monk you might want to take, you know, like WHOA.
Maybe I should feel concerned about this, Maybe I should well,
put our own curfew in home. Maybe I should demand

(09:44):
that the child is in the house by a certain hour.
They've all got cell phones. They can call, just like
I used to do. If I want to stay out
past eleven or midnight or whatever the curfew happened to
be at my given age, I had to call and
ask for permission held to if I didn't do that. Apparently,
in terms of enforcement on this, and I guess they're

(10:06):
going to enforce it now because as we've learned over
the past several weeks, they have not been enforcing curfew.
Police were specifically instructed, as we have been told, not
to bother with enforcing curfew, and what was the point
of it anyway, Nothing ever happened to the kids after curfew.
A police officer apparently is going to approach a juvenile
ask them to go home, and if they don't comply

(10:27):
with the officer's orders, the police are allowed to detain
them and can either take them home it's like an
uber ride, take them home where an adult is present,
or to a curfew center. Apparently the Seven Hills neighborhood house.
If taken, the Seven Hills staff there will attempt to
contact a parent or guardian to pick them up or

(10:47):
have them taken home again. Uber service staff is unable
to reach an adult to be taken to the Lighthouse
Youth and Family Services, and if the juvenile has outstanding charges,
they'll be taken to the Mlton County Youth Center. Miners
who are found out past curfew are going to be
given a misdemeanor curfew violation charge. They cannot be incarcerated

(11:15):
based on that charge. FYI, their parents are guardians, apparently
going to get a written warning for the first offense
and then a misdemeanor charge if it happens again. I presume,
based on this reporting from Fox nineteen that the parents
are the ones that are going to be given a
misdemeanor charge for the second offense and moving forward. Hamilton
County Juvenile Court Judge Carry Bloom that at the committee

(11:39):
meeting to speak on this, said that the misdemeanor charge
for miners is a status offense which is given for
a violation based on purely age ergo you can incarceraate
them for that charge. So apparently additionally, the status of
the offense can go into miners record, but you can
of course seal the record or have it expunged, said
the judge. I thought this is rather peculiar. The word

(12:01):
equity came in Jeff Cameroning and Vice Mayor jam Mischelle
Kearney brought up equitable enforcement in over the Rhine, in
downtown and where problem actors may go after the curfew hits,
expressing concern that once the curfew kicks in in these
two special areas over the Rhine and the Central Business District,

(12:22):
I guess they just get on a bus and go
someplace like bond Hill, grammerting. As we move forward, I
have two concerns. The Vice mayor talked about the potential
of equitable enforcement wherever you carve out a special area.
I think that's something we need to consider and monitor
moving forward. And also, I think it's the perception between

(12:42):
nine and eleven will be pushing a problem actors to
the neighborhoods. I think that means to other neighborhoods where
this curfew isn't in effect, so people can get on
a bus line and go to again, he said bond Hill.
I guess that's where they came in because I read
the article earlier and that was in the back of
my mind. I don't think that's the reality. I think

(13:02):
that could be the perception. He concluded. They were kind
of wondering why it is that Government Square was the
place to hang out in Fiji. Speculated, Well, it starts
out as a place to be seen and to see
and be seen, and that's why, in my opinion, the
nine o'clock curfew is so important. Because it's one thing

(13:22):
to go down there and socialize. It's what happens after
the socializing is finished and the disorderly behavior starts in
something that sometimes then crime flows or follows. Well, that's
the hangout place. It's the words gotten out. Hey, we're
all gonna be a government square. Come on down. Well,
at least now they can start rounding them up after

(13:46):
a certain hour. I guess I have to outlaid. If
you got thirty teens that are violating curfew Government Square,
how many police officers does it take to provide I
had this sort of this tiered effect to initiate this
contact apparent, give them an uber ride home, I mean

(14:07):
a cop car ride home, and then moving through this
various process ultimately ending up at the Hamilton County Youth Center.
How many police does it take tree, fitty Joe, All right,
we got the number, five nineteen right now. Fifty five

Talk station five one three seven point nine fifty five hundred,
eight hundred and eighty three talk. I'll jump over to
the phone to what Jay's got this morning. Jay, thanks
for calling. Good to hear from you.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Hey, good morning, Brian.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
So if I understand correctly, there was a beatdown in Cincinnati,
and the response is that we are going to put
a curfew on onto youse. And I just did a
quick AAI search that said how old, oh yeah, where
the criminals was the Cincinnati beat.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
This is not impacting them at all.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Twenty nine, thirty six, and thirty nine. I think we're
the ages of the three people that were arrested. So
if we're going to just do knee jerk reactions not
connected to in the brawl, then I would say maybe
the next thing they should think about is put up
speed cameras and maybe put in some more roundabouts at intersections,
and maybe we could tank the stop signs of orange

(15:23):
instead of.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Red, and well.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
And I think that would be equally as effective a curfew.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well, okay, obviously this is not going to impact adults
who get unruly. They're not subject to the curfew. That's
a completely separate problem. But that does not mean we
didn't have a problem with underage kids gathering down around
Government Square and causing a lot of problems. So this curfew,
I will acknowledge, addresses a completely different problem, but it

(15:51):
still addresses a problem. Whether it works or not remains
to be seen. Whether they enforce it or not, it
remains to be seen. Whether they have enough officers to
even consider enforcing it remains to be seen. But it
does address the gathering of underage teenagers in large numbers
in downtown, at least after certain hours. It's a step
in the right direction. I mean, you know, I don't
have a problem with the enforcing the curfew, do you

(16:13):
I don't have a problem with it.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
But for what I do for a living is root cause,
corrective action in.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
Order to help businesses.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Improve or anything for that matter. So I think what
they're up against is there is no solution. Oh, how
do you take a twenty nine to thirty six and
a thirty nine year old and say, I can't believe
that that happened with people this age, And this is
government trying to reach to fix us something that the
government can't fix exactly.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah. See that goes back to my frustration yesterday why
I was so sort of down after the town hall,
because you've hit the nail on the head. This is
a systemic, this long brewing, ever growing societal problem. We
need to change the hearts and minds of people generationally.
There's no solution to this other than us collectively deciding

(17:05):
that we're going to be more more moral, more ethical,
more law abiding people and not engage in sick, disgusting
acts of violence in response to something that does not
justify sick acts of violence.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
I mean, you know, agreed, agreed, And unfortunately for the
for the cops out there, this means that more of
the responsibility for youths is shifted off the parents, and
now the cops have to continue to take on more
of the shoulder, more of the burden of what parents
ought to be taken care of, and so now it
will go on to the shoulders of the UH, the

(17:39):
the understaffed overworked, overstressed police department that are retiring in
droves and quitting in droves right and now they're.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Going to be This is an effort by government to
solve the problem that exists out there, a systemic problem.
Parents apparently don't care about their children.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
Well in governmental step in, like we talked about yesterday
with Vince evad Ellison.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Sure they'll be the parent.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
You just get me more power, more authority.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
A city council will happy to be that.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
The parent of all the youths is just going to
take more funding, folks, So open up your wallets. Cops,
get ready. You're going to have to probably at some
point start tutoring them on your homework. And government, we'll
try to fix this. And it fails every time it's tried,
in every blue city, in every blue state. It fails
every single time it's tried.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, you know, it's kind of like pre k kindergarten.
You know, let the government take care of your children
in the morning for you. We'll do it for you.
You can go off and go on your merry way,
you know, do what you think you need to do,
and while the government tends to your children. Yeah, it's
a broader problem, a big, big societal systemic problem. No
quick fixes, although I do not again have a problem
with them actually enforcing the curfew or the changes they

(18:53):
did for the curfew. You know, I guess when parents fail,
someone's got to step in and do the job. Sad,
sorry state of affairs when we turned to the government
to actually provide a solution, knowing full well the government
is terrible at solutions seven twenty eighty seven and fifty

Oh look, shooting last night and over the Rhine eleven

(19:36):
PM near the intersection of West mcmckinna Avenue in Mohawk Place.
Is that the one you were talking about the other one, Joe,
he was waiting for some real I think it's probably
the same one. Joe thought there was a separate shooting
incident in Price Hill on Mohawk. He hadn't seen any
reporting on that. I think that's the one that overlaps here.
It doesn't matter. Officers found a man not identified yet
with multiple gunshot wounds, taking the UC Medical Center and

(20:00):
pronounced dead over the phones. Well go Tom, thanks for
calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to you, my friend.

Speaker 7 (20:07):
Yeah, on that happy note. Yeah, it just gets better
and better, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
Yeah, This this whole issue with the with the crime
in the city, it's uh, it is very complicated. You
you are, you're trying to get people to behave properly
and you only have so many tools at your disposal. Yeah,
and all the all the while, you got people in
government who are basically giving these people incentive to not

(20:35):
work or to whatever act however they're acting. And you know,
our our our society, our way of life, gives people
the freedom to do what they want. You have freedom
of speech and you know, different freedoms to be able
to come and go as long as.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
You're an adult do thing.

Speaker 7 (20:53):
So It is very complicated, but the only the only
solution has to be that people have to have the
spot by the backbone to administer consequences to people.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
That the law.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
That's the point of the criminal justice system. Obviously, if
you're raised in a good family and you have morals
and ethics and you're not inclined to break the law ever,
and you don't go out and engage in criminal activity,
you're not going to be part of the criminal justice system.
We don't need to apply it to you. You know
the rules. Some people aren't raised in an environment where
they have any respect for law order or your personal rights,

(21:26):
your personal space, your personal property, and they invaded or
otherwise harm you. That's why we have punishment, which is
the point of the criminal justice system. There will be
consequences if you don't follow them rules, that's right.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
So don't bitch a complain when you've got fines coming
at you or or there or there. You're getting put
in handcuffs because you broke the law. You did something wrong,
and it takes people in the neighborhood too. Unfortunately. People
would like to mind their own business and and do
their thing and not worry about it because they're they're
not breaking the law. So cops come to their door

(22:01):
and ask them for you know, did you see or
hear anything? I don't want to be involved, Well, you
know what, you choose not to be involved. And then
because of all this things get worse. And then because
of all that, your taxes go up. Well, now you're involved,
you're paying more. Congratulations. So I know it takes some
guts and a spine, but we got to stand up
and say, hey, I saw that guy do that. And

(22:23):
I'm willing to I'm willing to stand up and say
that I don't want that in my neighborhood and I
don't want that going on, and I want you to
do something about that guy, you know. And that's the
kind of stuff it takes. And I know it's tough,
but this is what this is.

Speaker 8 (22:35):
This is what it.

Speaker 7 (22:36):
Takes and for these uh and the switch gears real
quick that the the Republicans that need to do what
they got to do in Texas, and and then and
then the United States Senate do what you gotta do.
The Democrats are gonna do whatever they're gonna do. As
long as you're not breaking the law, as long as
you're not violating rules, do what you gotta do to

(22:56):
get it done. And then and and show the Democrats
you're not going to let their winding and complaining and
all their fear monitoring stop you from doing what you
were elected to do. Get it done, and people don't
vote Democrats. Have a good day.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Take care. The transition to the final point made sometimes
better than others. Appreciate that time real quick here perfect

Uh?

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Nickelback I didn't Are they still around, Joe? Oh? Yes,
shocking me as the article reads nothing like a good
old fashioned nickel backcountry singalong Thursday evening Central Oak and
Agen Search and Rescue Crew. This is from Vancouver, British Columbia.
I guess you think you have had pro ball hung

(27:02):
out here at this event Joe when he was on
vacation with his family and not paying attention to the
concerns going on in the city of Cincinnati. Maybe we
know where he was now yes, indeed anyway. The Central
Okanagan Search and Rescue crew were out training when they
received reports of someone yelling for help near a climbing
spot located at near the Ketel Valley Railway. Two hikers

(27:27):
had contacted nine to one one. After hearing what sounded
like repeated cries, the crew immediately switched from training to
rescue mode, activating its drone team along with two RCMP
officers Royal Canadian Anapolice. First members of the crew arrived
and the Bottlefields could hear faint yelling, but couldn't make
out what was being said. According to the post online

(27:47):
by the search crew, the crew split into two teams,
preparing to search the woods in the forest roads when
team members found the source of the yelling, one man
camping alone screening out Nickelback's greatest hits.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Keep your stupid mouth shut.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
According to the team, and this is a quote, camper
was singing his heart out to the trees, blissfully unaware
that his that the acoustics of the butter Boulder fields
the area had turned his tent side concert into an
accidental distress signal. He wasn't in trouble, said search manager
Dwayne Trendnich unless you count his singing. He followed up

(28:30):

Maryland woman allegedly became so frustrated with a man who
owed her seven dollars that she lit his house on
fire with gasoline and then fled the scene on a bicycle.
Rest Bulleton from the Office of Maryland State Fire Marshals
said officials were sent to the residents of July third
to investigate a small fire that the homeowner had already
extinguished court of the bullet and the man told investigators

(29:37):
that Janice Louise One, someone he had known for several years,
became upset after demanding seven dollars that she claimed yoder.
After a brief argument, one allegedly left, returned minutes later
with a bottle of gasoline, set the front door on
fire before fleeing the area on a bicycle. Investigators able
to reportedly able to pin the crime on this person

camera videos from nearby businesses. Ony arrested August first charge
of first and second degree arson, first degree militia's burning,
malicious destruction of property over one thousand dollars, reckless endangerment,
and theft under one hundred dollars. Idiots doing idiot things

the stack is stupid? Let us see and who thinks
of this kind of thing? I least rather revealing. If
you come up with this idea a little revealing about
you and your person and your uh well, I don't know.
Is it fetish the appropriate word? A company called Freda,

(31:54):
described as being renowned for its baby products as teamed
up with a small batch ice cream maker called Oddfellows
and have introduced a what is described as unique ice
cream flavor inspired by breast milk. Why are you doing that?
No idea? Not made with real breast milk. They say.
It's called breast milk ice Cream. Limited availability to pop

(32:17):
up location. You gotta go to Brooklyn, New York for this,
unless you want to go to freedo dot com and
have it shipped to your home for you people out
there craving breast milk ice cream flavor described as quote
freshly expressed and oddly familiar clothes quote combine sweet and
salty notes with its hints of honey and features of
distinct yellow cluster like hue wa. They say it was

(32:41):
developed through multiple tastings. Pause and consider who the tasters were.
You think it's adults with the distinct familiarity with breast
milk flavor. There's no flag. See That's where I was going,
Joe exactly. Milk ingredients and cholesteran powder used to create

(33:02):
and mimic the nutrients found a breast milk. Frieder wrote
that the Blessed breast milk flavored ice cream quote satisfies
late night cravings and fuels your body too close quote,
also noting it is packed with similar nutrients to breast
milk and formula, including omega threes, lactose, protein, vitamins, and minerals.
No thank you, dad. Twenty eight year old Kentucky man

medical personnel took him to the University of Louisville for treatment.
While at the hospital, the victim told police he knew
the shooter and identified him as Carlos Garcia, saying that
he was his ex wife's boyfriend. Investigators soon learned that
Guess the suspect was in fact Garcia Romera. Victim reportedly

(34:33):
explained that he encountered Garcia Emira after quote coincidentally running
into him close quote at a restaurant. Shooting allegedly took
place shortly after the two men saw each other. Police
reportedly able to confirm Garcia Amraa's girlfriend and the victim

When I'm informed I feel smarter fifty five KR the

Speaker 1 (37:37):
To six fifty five KRC the talk station Thomas here
wishing everyone a very happy Wednesday and inviting everyone to
listen to lunch going to be a weed. Them in
Brewery enjoy going there, and I and I certainly enjoy
the fellowship. I always like to point that out. It's
just a really nice, nice time you get to meet
some fellow the fifty five car Sea listeners. I think
you're like them too. Must everybody show us up the
first time, uh listening to lunch, folks is they end

(37:59):
up having a time, So God bless each and every one.
It's it's fun. I have fun anyways. It means a
lot to me. It also means a lot to me
that Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity joins the
program every Wednesday at seven thirty, just like he's doing today.
We're gonna learn together what the Protect Prosperity campaign is
all about. And of course AFP always providing you with
an opportunity to help better the path you're in the

(38:19):
state of Ohio, and I can just strongly encourage you
to take him up on the opportunity to help out.
So we'll learn together at seven thirty what a Protect
Prosperity campaign is, followed by claimont County Veteran Services. Steve
Belzo returns to the studio to enlighten all of us
about the Emergency Financial Assistance Program and thanks on behalf

(38:40):
of all the veterans served by the Clarmont County Veteran
Service Commission for what they do each and every day,
just outstanding services and resources there for our veteran friends
in Claremont County. Mark Levin, he'll be on the program, actually,
the return of Mark Levin. I've talked to him before.
He's got a new book out. It's called On Power,
So a rather interesting book, a very philosophical, historic look

(39:03):
at power, how it's abused, and how it can be
used for the positive and for good. So that at
eight oh five then we're gonna hear from Judge Napolitano
on the runaway Texas Democrats, and he writes a defense
in defense, they do have the freedom to travel. Whether
they committed a crime or not remains to be seen.
I really really can't get my head around that one.

(39:26):
But they ran away. They ran away rather than to
for the sole purpose of denying the legislative branch a
quorum so they could vote on redistricting in Texas. It's
not illegal to redistrict a kind of off cycle, and
I think everyone's readily admitted that normally this does not happen.
They usually do it every ten years after the census

(39:47):
comes out. Mother they're doing at mid cycle for the
purpose of security a Republican majority and maybe gaining a
couple of seats in Texas. Oh my god, you can't
do that. Well you can. And to those screaming a
lot us about it, folks in California, Governor Gavin Newsom,
and of course Illinois and New York and others, Governor
Hokel they're going to do the same thing because Texas

(40:09):
is doing it. See expect a reaction. You know, it's
whatever you do, somebody else is going to thank you.
Joe perfectly time sound bite right there.

Speaker 6 (40:22):
Now.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
I'm asking my listening audience to help me get my
head around and understand this. Is this a worthy endeavor?
What is he talking about? I'm talking about the United
States plan NASA to build a nuclear power plant on
the Moon. I get, we can't get them here in Ohio.
Why are you doing this? I don't know. Well, I mean,

(40:44):
I understand the long term goal so we can establish
a colony or something on the Moon. We have a
housing shortage here and a power problem here. I think
we should probably work on solving the problems here on
planet Earth where we all live, rather than off shoring
power production to the Moon. NASA's Acting Administrator Sean Duffy

(41:06):
announced this the other day, planning to build a nuclear
reactor on the lunar surface as part of the Artemis program,
which is a campaign to return them to the Moon
and stay there. Joe, you and I could come up
with a list of people we might want to send
to the Moon so they stay there. You think they're

(41:30):
going to turn it into like an alligator Alcatraz kind
of place. We ran out of places to send criminal,
illegal immigrants, so we're gonna shoot them off to the Moon.
From the Moon to the Moon base, just a theory.
Duffy yesterday. We're in a race to the moon, race
to the Moon, in a race with China to the Moon.

(41:51):
He added, And to have a base on the Moon,
we need energy, and in some of the key locations
on the Moon we're gonna get solar power. But this
technology is critically important, ah, because solar power doesn't generate
enough electricity for a Moon base, apparently much in the
same way solar power doesn't generate enough electricity for application

(42:12):
on the Earth as well. Anyway, this is kind of alarming.
Duffy was talking on the press conference explaining the idea
of utilizing nuclear power on the Moon not a new concept.
He said they had been discussing this during Trump's first term,
even under the Biden administration. Fun fact, hundreds of millions
of dollars have been spent studying the idea and whether

(42:35):
it can be done. Hundreds of millions of dollars studying
the idea. He said, we're now moving. We're going to
move beyond studying, and we've given directions to go, let's
start deploying our technology to move to actually make this
a reality. So this NASA plan apparently got to be
sending a four person Artemis two on a mission around

(42:58):
the Moon, followed by Artemis three, which will land humans
on the surface, apparently staying there for six days. And
he also noted, not shocking to anybody that follows government programs,
this program is behind schedule. Following Artemis three, that'll be
the humans landing on the Moon. The acting ASID administrator

(43:18):
said that the unmanned missions would begin sending assets to
lunar surface in order to start building a base for
long term stays. But solar power, which powers the International
Space Station primarily, will not be enough, he said. We
are able to build a base, but this is critically important.
There's a certain part of the Moon that everyone knows

(43:40):
that is the best. We have ice there, we have
sunlight there. We want to get there first and claim
that for America, and to do this is part of
the fission technology. It's critically important to sustain life because
solar won't do it. Maybe there is a lesson we
can all learn here about the pursuit of solar power,

(44:04):
they say, while continuing to face delays. This Artemis program
the latest target for the next moon landing mid twenty
twenty seven, and a reporter on this Jason Richmond of
Epoch Epic Times, said the China spased program reportedly on
track to make its first man landing on the Moon
in twenty thirty. Now I'm just asking out loud. Now,

(44:26):
during the Cold War, we were the first people to
land on the Moon. Very proud moment for the United
States of America, A technological miracle given the modern technology. Well,
then modern technology. Your cell phone has like thousand times
more computing power than the original Apollo Moon program, And yeah,
it was a true victory. I can't deny that someone

(44:48):
set foot on the Moon. I don't know what we
ultimately learned by our expeditions to the Moon, how much
it advanced science. But I'm just wondering what the point
is for wanting to develop the Moon. We have so
many programs. Here are so many problems here on the
Earth's surface that have remained unsolved. If you're going to
create a list of programs or expenditures that you want

(45:11):
government to address, knowing full well that there's a finite
amount of dollars floating in around the world and are
taken in by government the form of taxes, and they
already spend gazillions in well more properly stated trillions of
dollars beyond what they take in and still do not
accomplish what many expect from government are what will ultimately

(45:37):
be billions of dollars. I don't know if we're going
to get in the world of trillions talking about building
a nuclear building, a fully manned twenty four to seven
three sixty five station on the Moon. But to build
the nuclear power plant in addition to it, of course necessary,
you got to have power. I get that, but is
it worth it? Is this something that should be in

(45:58):
our list of important critical things to accomplish given the
finite amount of dollars in government? And again a question
of priority. Shouldn't we be getting nuclear power before maybe
the surface of the Moon. I'd like to think so
it's the answer to all of our problems. To the

(46:19):
extent you believe carbon is a problem, carbon dioxide and
I firmly do not. Shocking to know one who listens
to the program. It's plant food, the tiny percentage of
the Earth's atmosphere. It's not a problem. But if that's
a concern to you, nuclear is the answer because it
doesn't produce any carbon dioxide. It produces nothing except electricity

(46:41):
in abundance. So if you could maybe defend this and
tell me why this is a worthy endeavor, I'd love
to know. Why. Is it just because China wants to
reach the moon. China wants to put a man on
the moon, something that we accomplished in nineteen seventy we

(47:02):
haven't been there since nineteen seventy two. Late sixties. Of
course when the first moon landing. So we're decades decades,
decades ahead of China insofar as getting someone there. Is
it important that we establish a base on the Moon
ahead of China? Can we actually declare it as our
own because we set foot on it. I suppose one
can make that argument, and I'm sure there's some leftists

(47:24):
out there screaming about, you know, colonialization. Probably you can
make a racism argument too. We're bringing racism to the
Moon by establishing a colony there. I don't know, seems
crazy to me. Six sixteen fifty five k se DE
talk station five one three seven four nine fifty five

(47:47):
be like Fred, save thousands and thousands of dollars. I
just used those as illustrations because they both got back
to me and told me how much money they saved
it affordable imaging services. They did not go to the
hospital imaging department. I took my advice and went to
affordable imaging services. Fred saved six thousand dollars, Jeff say
thirty one hundred dollars. They're both very happy about it,

(48:08):
and I appreciate them chiming in and letting them know
I've been there multiple times. I think I have probably saved,
maybe even more than that, considering I've had three CT
scans at affordable imaging services where the hospital would have
charged me five thousand dollars maybe had to pay extra
for the radiologist report four point fifty without a contrast
only six hundred dollars worth. A contrast that affordable imaging

(48:30):
services ultrasounds don't pay two thousand, pay two hundred and
fifty bucks. Remember every image that affordable imaging does comes
with the board certified radiologist report included. Exercise your choice.
You've got one. It's low overhead, but it's the same

Speaker 9 (48:52):
This is fifty five KRC an iHeartRadio station.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Think of a single moment, six twenty one here, fifty
five years TEDtalk station, fift free to call by one
three seven hundred eight two three talk confect fifty on
AT ANDCH phones. Oh look our favorite guy pencil neck
Adam Shift, Senator Adam Shift, You remember him, don't you Russia, Russia, Russia,
Russia got a bit of a egg on his face

(49:17):
now on that one, but he is now well under
criminal investigation for mortgage fraud. Karma can be a tough mistress.
Pencil neck Shift last month story broke, the Federal Housing
Finance Agency sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice,

(49:38):
alleging that Shift, on multiple occasions, falsified bank documents and
property records to acquire more favorable loan terms. Back in
twenty twenty eleven, then California Congressman pencil Neck Shift certified
that a property in Montgomery County, Maryland, it was his

(50:00):
primary residence. Okay, he also owns a condominium in Burbank, California,
which he had also claimed as his primary residence as
recently his twenty twenty three during his Senate campaign, Director
of FHFA sent a letter to Attorney General Pambondi and
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in May, citing the alleged
misconduct by Schiff. Court of Director William Poulti. In the letter,

(50:24):
based on media reports, mister Adam B. Schiff has in
multiple instances falsified bank documents and property records to acquire
more favorable loan terms, impacting payments from two thousand and
three to twenty nineteen for Potomac, Maryland based property. As
regulator Fanny May Freddie Mack and the FHLALB Federal Home
Loan Banks, we take very seriously allegations of mortgage for

(50:47):
aud or other criminal activities. Such misconduct jeopardized as the
safety and sonus of fh FA's regulated entities and the
security instability of US mortgage market. He later got a
memo from the Fannie Main Financial Crimes Investigations concluding that
Shift had engaged in quote a sustained pattern of possible
occupancy misrepresentation close quote on five Fanny May loans. So

(51:13):
they purchased a home he and his wife in Potomac,
Maryland back in two thousand and three, paid eight hundred
and seventy grand for it. They entered into a Fanny
May back mortgage agreement for six hundred and ten thousand
dollars at five point six two five percent thirty year mortgage,
asserting that the property would be their primary principal residence.

(51:34):
All right, that was the Maryland residence. Letters said. They
reaffirmed that Maryland home was in fact their primary residence
in the mortgage refinance filings in two thousand nine, twenty eleven,
twenty twelve, and twenty thirteen, in spite of the fact
that Schiff was an elected official representing the state of
California at the same time. Humm, the director there, said

(51:57):
Schiff and his wife did not list the Maryland home
as their secondary residence until twenty twenty. Over the same
time frame, though, Shift took out a homeowners tax exemption
on the conduct units in Burbank, California, claiming that home
as his primary residence for a seven thousand dollars reduction
off the property tax. Federal housing officials wrote that he

(52:19):
believes Shift's alleged misconduct could be violations of federal criminal
codes banning wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and false
statements to financial institution. According to Poltice, Shift appears to
have falsified records in order to receive favorable loan terms,
and also appears to have been aware of the financial
benefits of primary residence mortgage when compared to his secondary

(52:39):
residence mortgage. Anybody who owns multiple residences knows full well
about that, asks the snowbirds who spend half their time
here and half their time in Naples, Florida. It's six
months plus one day, and you got your Florida residency
primary residence, and you enjoy the tax benefits of being
a Florida resident rather than a resident of Hamilton County
for example. Hmmm, pencil, next shift under the microscope for

(53:07):
a change. Sounds like they had pretty solid evidence of this.
His signature and his wife's signature on these documents. They
knew where they lived. Joe hang On, not Joe Strecker,

because if you got a wood burning fireplace or a

(53:29):
free standing stoves, maybe one of those self feeding wood
waste pellet stoves, it is critical that you make sure
that it's been properly maintained and swept. And that's what
it's all about. The Chimneycare Fireplaces stove locally owned and
operated since nineteen eighty eight eight plus with a better
Business Bureau offering a special the woodburning sweep and evaluation
only one hundred and sixty nine dollars in ninety nine

(53:49):
cents plus tax. Great deal knowing that you won't have
a chimney fire because of the kreoso build up. Got
a certified chimney sweep that'll sweep it all out after
doing a video camera inspection. See if you had a
prior chimney fire, for example, Those can crack the lining,
but a chimney flu fire can burn your home down.
That's why you have it checked out, so if you

Welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (55:51):
Good morning.

Speaker 11 (55:53):
I was listening to the power plant story about the moon,
and I could easily see that getting.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Up around you know, a trillion dollars. Oh yeah, but
I couldn't.

Speaker 11 (56:03):
I couldn't get this picture out of my head with
the flag standing there and then a Tesla charging station
next to it, no one using it.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Remember the Joe, You remember the lunar rover that was
like the original battery operated automobile, wasn't it. Yes, it
was deluxe. Yeah, I bet they spent gazillions of dollars
on that one too. We're gonna move. We're gonna take
a golf cart to the moon because it's electric. Oh
that's funny, Joe.

Speaker 11 (56:32):
Yes, Well, Sheila Jason Lee, she's got a suggestion that
since the flag is blowing up there on the Moon,
on when we go win power and then they'll they'll
switch over and they'll just spend more money.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
Appreciate you the attribution to Sheila Jackson Lee on that
until you cracker me up this morning. I appreciate that.
Ah listeners, you can always feel free to call it
interject levity into the fifty five Caresing Morning show. IMiD
all the problems as we face in the world, comedy
is certainly a welcome thing. All right. Over to local stories.
Oh look another shooting here, man Dad. Last Tuesday night

(57:12):
shooting over the rynecurded Sin Sint Police Departments Captain Stephen Bauer,
I guess speaking with Molly Shram of WCPO, that's who
I'm relying on anyway. Took place about eleven just before
eleven PM near West Mcmackinonna Avenue and Mohawk Place. Officers
found a man who had not been identified yet in
a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds, taken to UC Medical
Center and pronounced dead. Captain Bauer said they do not

(57:34):
currently have any suspects in custody. Three drivers sided in
and three cars impounded after Since Saint Police conducted traffic
stops on multiple vehicles believed to be connected as street
takeovers this over the weekend. Since Saint Police said multiple
street takeovers were reported throughout the city. Seventeen vehicles met
that match descriptions from earlier runs. All converged at the

(57:57):
dead end of Race Street near Andrew J. Brady Music
Center on Sunday, Please said. Third shift officers SWAT and
the Civil Disturbance Response Team attempted to stop the cars,
three of which fled. During the stops, police sighted three drivers,
one with a suspended license, expired plates, and two others
who drove with no license plates displayed at all. All

(58:18):
three impounded, Please said. The officers were able to get
a license plate number for one of the cars that
took off. During a follow up investigation at the registered
owner's address, Please sighted the driver and impounded the vehicle.
Court of the reporting. Street takeovers has been a concern
in downtown since any for years. Last year, WCPO spoke
with the two people living in the banks who said

(58:40):
every night of the week, in quotes, they hear cars
peeling out and making excessive noise. One of the residents interviewed,
the sad part is though it's typically part of living
down here anymore, where these noises have become almost the norm.
It shouldn't be the norm, but it is. Since i
Polase previously passed the resolution to support a house build
that ups the penalties for people participating or spectating in

(59:04):
street takeovers. Measure has since been signed into law by
Governor Mike DeWine. So, hey, there's a law in the books. Huh.
I'm surprised they still do it knowing that there's a
law in the books. And we got the insrot of
the stack of stupid this morning. Go to Shivy and
women arrested after leading police on a chase and attempting

(59:26):
to run over a guy after a dispute over a
tattoo corner Shivy Police Department. Rebecca Hagger's twenty seven, now
facing two assault charges, including one felony, and fleeing police
after authority shut up at the three hundred block of
North Bend just after eleven thirty pm Thursday last, where
they believe Hagger was fleeing the scene. A pursuit ensued

(59:47):
after police saw Hagger make a U turn before speeding off,
leading the officer down several blocks before the vehicle hid
an island, causing Hagger to lose control and slam into
a telephone poll in magazine Dispenser. That time, police requested
officers to the original scene. That's where they found a
man in a vehicle they believe was involved in a
crash with Haggard before she took off. A man in
the car explained to police at Haggar had attempted to

(01:00:09):
run him over after she followed him out of the
tattoo shop. He had only previously known about her after
a dispute with the tattoo shop owner after being unsatisfied
with the tattoos she got from an apprentice. She's now
in the Hamlin County Justice cent on one hundred and
forty thousand dollars bond as she awaits trial. Surprised the

(01:00:29):

Hey? Thanks real quick? Well, I want to start. I know,
I know we're going to be positive today. We always are.
We disagree sometimes, we always have a nice conversation. I
want to know how's the fishing been lately before we
dive into something political.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Oh, I'm about to start back up probably this week.
Take a little bit of July off because of I
try to spend that with my family when they're here for.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
The concerts and good for you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Stuff like that. And it was really hot in July too. Yes,
couldn't be out on the boat, so.

Speaker 7 (01:03:39):
Really doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
But I'm I'm gonna be starting back up actually this weekend.
I'm trying to get out of here, go back up north.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
Catch some big ones far as Will cat.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Yes, sir, yes, sir, I just I just I just
wanted to tell that guy after I got out the
phone last week, which you explaining, uh the thing about
you know, running to a crowd of young young and
I could fight with him. Somebody said that he's seen
a guy with a red shirt walk up and hit
the man from the back. The man needs to look

(01:04:08):
at the whole video. They need to get the uncut
video which I see, and believe me, they tried to
avoid that. Now, I'm not gonna make excuses for when
the man was on the ground getting beat down and
his wallet taking and the woman taking a.

Speaker 8 (01:04:21):
Right to the face.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Yeah, people need to be punished for that, But I
feel they'd being a little hard on these people, seeing
as how you kept re engaging and got what you
wanted and these children. I hear about this curfew when
I first wake up. I'm I'm from Avondale, and I
know there was ten or fifteen places that I could
go play basketball, and I rode around my neighborhood and

(01:04:45):
looked at the basketball hoops, asked them questions about the
YMCA and stuff like that, you know, with your your
big beautiful bill cuts that cut out, you know, things
like job corps for the young young brothers and sisters
and people in rural areas. You know, that's a big
part of it, y'all. I didn't think about these children

(01:05:06):
at all. I see y'all constantly building ball stadiums and
all this other crap. Yeah, I don't see a basketball court.
I don't see a rec center for these children. I
just got a basketball Tuesdays and Thursdays every day of
the week when I was a kid, and go back
to school. I don't know, you know, everybody, Oh, it's
so bad what they've done to these children, and now

(01:05:27):
they just want to take them to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
Well they're they're not taking them to jail. Matter of fact,
this new curfew law has nothing criminal associated with it.
The only thing they do is try to call the
parents or put them in actually a rec center. And
that's what I want to ask you about. Are the
council people when they actually come out and talk about things,
always talk about rec centers and they talk about, you know,
where they are. I thought there were rec centers out

(01:05:51):
there for the youth to hang out. And I just
kind of get the impression. Will and I remember when
I was a teenager, you know, with my crew in
my neighborhood, we wouldn't be going to a rec center,
I don't think, and we we would find something other
to do, you know, maybe getting into trouble. I'll acknowledge that,
but uh, you know, I it is a nice thing

(01:06:11):
to have. But is it really a solution that these
children would gravitate toward.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
I think they would if they're introduced to introduced to it, right,
because we did. I mean it was it was a program.
You went, you played, They had tournaments and things of
that nature that you entered. You actually you actually wanted
to be there for the tournaments and things of that nature.

Speaker 1 (01:06:32):
Organized sports. Yeah right, I remember that, right right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:36):
They don't do any of that anymore. Don't tell about building, No,
I don't.

Speaker 7 (01:06:40):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
You know, I've got I've talked to the children. I
asked them, you know what, you know what's going with
the rec centers. You know, I still get out there
and they got a whole thing going. This weekend. I
might try to get in go down there and play
some basketball. So you know, when I talk to you
young people, they don't have anything to do.

Speaker 8 (01:06:56):
They've tore everything.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Down and build parking lots and and and and hotels
and every place I used to go. But like even
burning wool's over there, they're messing with that. That's what
I'm trying to make that into a doll park or
something out here. I mean, it's it's ridiculous. So just
tear everything down. Leave the key has nothing to do,
and this is what you get.

Speaker 8 (01:07:16):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Well, I know they built a skateboard park. I just
suggested the roller skating in downtown. Maybe that'll be to
solve the problem, because they now have roller skating. I
don't know. I think they try to put things out
there for folks will but I'm a little more practical,
and I just spring for the mindset that most teenagers
probably wouldn't want to roller skate at midnight. If they're out,

(01:07:36):
they probably would be more interested in, you know, hanging
out with their crew and maybe getting into trouble. I
don't know. That's what teenagers quite often do. Will you remember?

Speaker 11 (01:07:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
You remember?

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
Yeah, But but you know we we we used to
like playing basketball late at night and like that. It
was it was, you know, I don't know, you know,
I just field are not giving the kids enough options
fair enough. They don't have some enough summer jobs and
stuff like that. Testify.

Speaker 1 (01:08:01):
I'll tell you what. We'll add that into the possible solutions.
Like the curfew isn't the curfew isn't gonna stop adults
from beating people up. It's gonna deal with the juvenile
problem potentially. But in terms of the juvenile problem, okay,
we have curfew, but let's engage Will's ideas and provide
them with some opportunities to engage in non criminal activity.

(01:08:22):
Fair enough, add that to the list of possible solution. Will.
Good to hear from me. Man, Good luck with the fishing.
If you get out this week, let me let me
know how you do.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):

Get aheader of the phones right now. Steve's been kind
of at the call of the morning show this morning. Steve, Welcome,
good to hear from you.

Speaker 8 (01:09:46):
Good morning. I'd agree with the last caller about activities
for the youth. One thing I've always been trying to
do or been banging around in my head. I agree
with the city council and everybody, uh f're more worried
about seeing I mean the city councils well five five
of them on their indictment at one time for the

(01:10:08):
two for they're not getting any better, But so for
the youth. I'm a you know, lecturism by trade, but
also have other hobbies like weight, leftings, this and that.
If the city council would designate, you know, throughout the
city for different departments because the kids can't get across town.

(01:10:28):
You know, Mount Healthy has a summer program, if they
had boxing, they had survival skills, they had uh you know,
to help get up on. You had to do your
school credits to be able to graduate first. But they
had these other programs that would draw kids in and
keep them off the street, you know, teach them how
to invest. I mean, I'm a dummy and I figured
out following politicians how to you know, how to know?

(01:10:49):
This is no lot. I've made over one hundred and
ten thousand dollars in a year following the politicians without
putting money in. I'm at almost a sixty percent return.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
You talk about your investment portfolio of the market.

Speaker 8 (01:11:01):
Yes, I can prove it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
Oh that's hilarious.

Speaker 11 (01:11:03):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
It reminds me. I used to have Nathan Backrack and
Ed Fink on the Money Monday guys. Are you know
I have Brian Tanks, but they created their own index
because they were financial planners. They created what they called
the Greased Palm Index. And what they did was they
tracked lobbying dollars flowing into Washington, d C. And whoever
you know lobby the most, spent the most money on
any given sort of you know, field of industry or

(01:11:26):
whatever they were lobbying for. That's where they would park
the money. And from my understanding is it was actually
a pretty good investment strategy.

Speaker 8 (01:11:33):
Well, this is the thing. I don't want politicians and
not be able to vote for my stock. I want
them to have to report it instead of forty five
days or later with no penalties within two days or
to ten thousand dollars fine every day after two days,
after thirty days, they get picked up and put in jail.

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
You've obviously given this some thoughts, Steve, and I think
it's a good idea. And modern technology with computers and
AI and everything, that would be an easy thing for them.

Speaker 8 (01:11:56):
To do, correct, And that way it gives everybody else
a chance to cheat. Two right, I mean like, well,
I mean I'm getting off the kid topic. But Rokahanna,
if you notice when the tariffs were coming, he sold
all his stock. I forget how many one hundred million
dollars in stock put forth a deal saying politicians shouldn't
be able to trade, and then when the tariff thing

(01:12:20):
was over, he took all that money that he didn't
lose on the tariff drop and then reinvested it. So
Rokahanna is it's not Nancy close. You need to watch this, Rokahanna.
But anyway for the youth, get them into classes, I
mean weightlifting, Just say, teach them how to do basic
electric This will get them ahead in the years. Teach

(01:12:41):
them how to do accounting, control their own bank accounts,
you know, how to save the parents aren't the parents
aren't doing what the schools ain't doing it. They want
to not let people think. So teach these kids. It
doesn't matter what color or race or anything sets or anything.
Teach them to life skills they need because nobody's teaching
them that. By the time to get out of college,
they mess around for two three years thinking they got freedom,

(01:13:03):
and then all of a sudden they're behind the eight
ball on catching up and feel about life.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
Oh yeah, Steve, I'm all about encouraging children to pursue
the trades. There are so many available job at career opportunities.
You can make good money. As you know, Steve, you're
in the trade business. You can make good money doing it.

Speaker 8 (01:13:20):
So this is the other thing. I mean, all these sports,
you know, sports players took a knee that they didn't
help the community. What if all the football, basketball, baseball
players of Cincinnati, if e's one, donated one thousand dollars
to the community for their own people and helps get
behind Cincinnati and make Instead of making national needs for
being a crap town, how about we just go ahead

(01:13:40):
and make it a town where we try to enrich
our use. Okay, everybody either putting.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
I like that. I like that idea prominent figures doing that.
But you know, how about this. If you're interested in
getting children engaged in activities that are good for them,
like weightlifting or sports or you know, competitive or otherwise,
how about rather than those famous sports legends or you know,
professional athletes, other than give money, why don't you have
them show up and be one of the coaches or

(01:14:04):
the leaders of that activity. They'll be a gage draw.

Speaker 8 (01:14:10):
Hamilton, some baseball team, twelve year olds. I'm going the
guy for twenty years, the coach. He's a great guy.
He sacrifices his time to do that. And that's the
thing that the sports athlete would draw the kids in.
But you know their athletes are not skilled trades. That's
the redraw man, and have them pay attention and encourage
the kid to learn life skills.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
Use this and use the sports draw as an opportunity
to encourage them to other pursuits like the drawn. Right,
here's where you sign up. Here where the classes are.
It's an opportunity to spread information that's beneficial to that.

Speaker 8 (01:14:48):
Yes, I get the kids, but you know I can't
do it. It's going to take people with connections, the
lenders and the football players, all the TV personalities and
everybody in Cincinnati. If you want to make a chance,
don't bitch about it, get involved in our program.

Speaker 1 (01:15:02):
There you go, well, stated Steve. We'll put an explanation
point on your concluding comment there, Randy, out of time,
I can't get your call, but if you don't mind
holding I'll take you right out of the gate. After
we get back from the top of the our news
stick around.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
A full rundown and the biggest headlines there's minutes away
at the top of the hour.

Speaker 4 (01:15:19):
I'm giving you a fact now the Americans should know.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
Fifty five krs. The talk station this report is SPUNT.
It's seven oh six fifty five air see talk station

(01:15:43):
by Thomas right here. We're seeing everyone a very happy
Wednesday and inviting everyone to listener lunch ken Weedham and
Brewery today about eleven thirty if you can show up,
looking forward to seeing you and enjoying the fellowship. Without
further ado, Randy was kind of enough to hold online
over the break there. Welcome Randy and thanks for holding.
Good to hear from you, Brian.

Speaker 12 (01:16:01):
Brian, I'd like to chime in on your prior caller, Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Steve spot On.

Speaker 12 (01:16:06):
I've done this through to Boy Scouts of America and
an event they called Peter Loon. I put on a
trades booth over eight years ago. I did it for
three consecutive two year events teach to youth life skills, welding, soldering, refrigeration.

Speaker 7 (01:16:22):
Sports skills are great, but.

Speaker 12 (01:16:23):
Not everyone's going to go on to.

Speaker 6 (01:16:25):
Be a professional sport sports athlete.

Speaker 12 (01:16:28):
So the more oftens more LSA have, the more occupied
they'll be, the better off. They could learn a skill,
take it home and work at mom or dance place
they could go on and furger their education in the trades.
It's a great outlet I'd love to teach. I did
it for seven years, and you just need some funding

(01:16:51):
for somebody to build a facility that can have electrical refrigeration, welding,
boost those type of things. I am in Local three
ninety two and they do a great job of educating
their people, but I think we could do a better
job of educating our youth, giving them life skills which
they can carry on through the rest of their life.

Speaker 6 (01:17:13):
Now, will you get.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Every youth, absolutely no, no, no no.

Speaker 12 (01:17:16):
But it's give them some of them who want that opportunity,
any the opportunity to see they've got a better life
out there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:24):
They just apply their selves right, or let them know
what programs are out there that already exists. I mean,
I've had the association builders and contractors on they've got
vehicles to get to earn why you learn type of programs.
I think there's a lot of young people that have
no idea that that's a possibility and opportunity for a career,
you know, and maybe if more schools presented this information.
I don't know what they do in regular high schools,

(01:17:46):
but to let them know there are opportunities out there
that don't involve college degrees. You know, they had Scarlet
Oaks when I was going to Oak Hill's High School,
or Diamond Oaks rather dimond Oaks, Scarlet Oaks the trade schools.
I had a graduating class of like seven hundred and
fifty people. I didn't know half of them because half
of them were over at Diamond Oaks, but there they were.
They pursued the trades, and I'm sure they probably had

(01:18:07):
you know, careers the rest of their lives as well,
and no college debt. But yeah, I mean, anything we
can do to give them an opportunity and make them aware,
maybe draw their interest towards something productive we should embrace.
I agree with you. And as so far as sports
are concerned, it is a great draw, and of course
very few are ever going to be using you know,
playing sports as a as a career. But in terms

(01:18:29):
of the curfew and how it applies to this, I think,
going back to I think Will was sort of concerned that,
you know, children, if they're out, they need a place
to go, like a rec center or something. According to
the revisions to the curfew that they talked about yesterday,
at least as reported by Fox nineteenth Mary of the Bus,
there are exceptions for youth that are found not at
home without an adult after curfew, for example, school religious

(01:18:53):
city sponsored events running an errand for a parent of
garden an emergency. So that city sponsored component right there,
seems to have a carve out for the bas midnight
basketball or whatever organized the activities the city puts on
for young people to give him something better to do
than hang out at Government Square in the middle of
the night. So yeah, anything where young people are, if

(01:19:15):
we have some connection with them, give them the information,
give them the encouragement, talk about the opportunities that exist
for them. You know, it's not all gloom and doom
out there in the world, as long as they know
that's not the case. Appreciate Randy, excellent idea. What can
I say five one three, seven, eight hundred eight to
two three talk pound five fifty on at and T phones.

(01:19:39):
Let us move. Oh yeah, I just want to there's
a little parallel to be drawn here because Donald Trump
made the news again as he does every single day,
kind of a parallel that could be drawn, and we're
not the only city struggling with problems with teenagers. You've
heard about the in the news with the you know,
the streak meetups with all the cars showing up. But
if you're talking about teenagers rowing and packs, we've had

(01:20:01):
that problem now for a while. And again that's why
the curfew is being taken a look at. That does
not solve or address the issue of adults beating the
crap out of people. Now. I understand that, but as
we talked about earlier in the program, I don't have
a problem with the adjustment to the curfew because it's
a step that may keep these gangs of roving youths
off the street. They're not up to any good if

(01:20:23):
they're outside of some sort of organized event that we
talked about obviously well. District of Columbia. Trump yesterday clung
for laws to change the DC so the teenagers fourteen
and older who commit crimes can be charged as adults.
He also threatened the federal takeover of DC if they
don't improve the safety conditions there. He said social media,

(01:20:47):
local youths and gang members some are only fourteen, fifteen,
and sixteen years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming and
shooting innocent citizens at the same time that they will
well at the same time that they will almost immediately
be released. His point is they know they're not going
to be subjected to any penalties. Sound like a familiar problem,

(01:21:09):
He said. They are not afraid of law enforcement because
they know nothing ever happens to them now. He insisted
that it's going to happen now exclamation point. He said,
the law on DC must be changed to prosecute these
quote miners, close quote as adults, and lock them up
for a long time, starting at age fourteen. Most recent
victim beaten mercilessly by local thugs, and that, of course

(01:21:31):
victim was a former Doge employee. The guy name is
known as Big Balls. He was his online moniker. He
was one of the folks doing the numbers crunching, and
he was apparently rendering assistants in DC and got the
living hell beat out of him. I saw a photograph
of it. It's really awful to behold. Sound familiar claim.

(01:21:51):
The district must be saved, clean and beautiful for all
Americans and importantly for the world to see. If DC
doesn't get its act together, he said, and quickly we
will have no choice but to take federal control the
city and run this city how it should be run,
and put criminals on notice that they're going not going
to get away with it anymore. Well, I kind of
have to laugh at the suggestion, and I do not

(01:22:14):
deny that there's a problem in DC and the elected officials.
Of course, since it's ninety nine point nine percent Democrats,
they always elect Democrats and poorly run it has been
for a long time. But despite about poorly run d
C has been for a long time. Do you think
the federal government would do a better job running it?

(01:22:35):
Considering how much they fail at pretty much anything they
endeavor to do. He had talked about this last month,
the idea of taking a federal takeover at d C. Said,
his administration has been testing the idea we could run
d C, said, we're looking at DC. We don't want
crime in d C. We want to run the city. Well,
we would run it so good, it would be run
so proper, We get the best person to run it,

(01:22:58):
and you know how you know, the crime would be
in a minimum would be much less. You know, we're
thinking about doing it, to be honest with you. In
typical Trump form. If I take over and lay my
hands on it, it's going to work, period, end of story.
Appreciate his optimism and his confidence. I'm a little bit skeptical,

(01:23:20):

Seven nineteen ifty about Kercity talk Station Americans for Prosperity,
Donald and Neil up next protect Prosperity campaign. You and
I will get to learn about that together with Donovan
in the next segment. In the meantime, I wanted to
pivot over because the issue of using deadly force course
came up after that crazy June twenty six melee in
downtown Cincinnati. Eminent APPREHENDI reasonable reasonable, eminent apprehension of bodily harm,

(01:26:17):
grievous bodily injury or death. You're experiencing the perception reasonably
that you are going to die. You can use deadly
force to protect your life and also the life of
other people if you're under that circumstance. And John Lott
wrote about this the other day, author of More Guns,
Less Crime, and he was turning to the Michigan Walmart
stabbing if you were called back on the twenty six

(01:26:38):
same day, at Michigan Walmart, some guy got all stabbed
and eleven people got stabbed. He was stopped by an
armed man, a Marine veteran who went to the shooting
range but apparently for just forgot to take the pistol
off of his hip. A bit fortuitous that he had
it with him, but there it was. New York Times, AP,
Washington Post, NPR, NBC News, BBC and many others completely

(01:27:00):
ignored the gun used to stop the attack, though an
ey wouldness describe how others who had tried to stop
the attacker were stabbed, but it took the marine with
a gun to stop the attack. The attack was stopped
several minutes before the first responders were able to arrive.
Mister Lott observes one thought is that this hero might
get some coverage in the legacy media simply because he's

(01:27:22):
black and the attacker was White case was far from unusual.
Between January twenty one and December twenty twenty four, concealed
handgun permit holders stopped thirty seven attacks, and John Lott,
of course has a link to all the articles which
document the attacks that he summarized there the police that
police said would have turned into mass public shootings if

(01:27:46):
not for the concealed handgun permit holder's intervention, but they
rarely get any national news attention. Unfortunately, the seven to
twenty eight attack in New York City that was the
assault weapon attack, four people died in that one. Democrats
drew the wrong conclusion, he writes to New York Governor

(01:28:08):
Kathy hulk Or responded by calling for a federal assault
weapon ban and blaming the tragedy on the absence of
such a law. Their gun controls laws ensure that there
won't be any armed civilians there to save to day.
The murderer who killed four people broke numerous gun control laws.
He openly carried a rifle that was already illegal to
possess it or carry in the state. New York State

(01:28:31):
and New York City prohibit open carry of loaded guns
in public and bans so called assault weapons like AR
fifteen style rifles. Even concealed Carrie permits do not authorize
openly carrying a rifle in public. Meanwhile, the law abiding
victims were defenseless disarmed by the city strict regulations. There
are currently only about six thousand active concealed carry permits

(01:28:54):
in a city with almost seven million adults, less than
one percent, and carrying a permitted concealed carry handgun is
extremely difficult. This is a very long list of places
where you're banned from carrying it. For example, public transportation
like subways, which are really dangerous in New York, any
places that serve alcohol times square, government buildings, educational facilities,

(01:29:17):
and all public gatherings. Total costs to get a permit
run about seven hundred and seventy dollars for fees to
the New York Police Department and the required course. Problem simple.
Someone intent on murdering four people won't be deterred by
extra gun control penalties. Even if the killer had survived,

(01:29:38):
you would have already been facing four life sentences, which
makes adding a few more years meaningless for attackers who
expect to die during the assault, as most mass public
shooters do. Those laws carry no weight at all, but
for law abiding citizens, and consequences are severe. Violating these
laws could turn them into felons and up then their

(01:29:58):
entire lives. The laws meant to stop criminals end up
disarming the innocent. Instead, these murders take advantage of the
laws that ensure they will be the only ones with weapons,
and again and again, diaries and manifest those of public
shooters show a disturbing pattern. They deliberately choose locations where
they know the victims can't fight back due to restrictive
gun laws. Well, it remains unknown whether this particular killer

(01:30:20):
made such a calculation to one in New York. Anyway,
his actions aligned with patterns we've seen repeatedly in other cases.
It isn't too surprising that ninety two percent of mass
public shootings or current places where guns are banned. Two
of the four people murdered in New York City attack
were security guards. But people don't appreciate what an extremely
difficult job uniform police have in stopping these active shooting attacks.

(01:30:41):
According to Sheriff Kurt Hoffman and Sarasota County, Florida, a
deputy in uniform has a difficult job in stopping these attacks.
These terrorists have strategic advantages in determining the time and
the place of attacks. They can wait for a deputy
to leave the area or pick an undefended location. Even
when police and deputies are in the right place at
the right time, those in uniforms who can be readily

(01:31:03):
identified as guards may as well be holding up neon
signs saying shoot me first. My deputies know that we
cannot be everywhere interesting food for thought. In fact, even
though civilians stop more of these active shooting attacks, nineteen
police officers were killed in the attacks versus two civilians
with permitted concealed handguns, and surveys of academics who published

(01:31:26):
peer reviewed empirical research on firearms show that criminologists and
economists strongly support letting people carry concealed handguns in order
to stop mass public shootings. While politicians rush to call
for new laws after each tragedy, they often ignore the
basic reality that killers intent on murder are attracted to
attack in places with strict gun control. Instead, those laws

(01:31:49):
disarm only the only potential victims, leaving them vulnerable and defenseless.

Donovan and Neil Donovan, welcome back to the Morning show.

(01:34:37):
Always good talking with you, Brian, Always great to be
with you.

Speaker 1 (01:34:40):
So usually you're talking about what we need to do
and get in touch with our elected officials to tell
them to do something like you know, some program you're
working on in the state of Ohio, something to deal
with property taxes, whatever case may be. You're always got
some project in Americans for a prosperity that you are
always encouraging folks to get engage, you know, the one

(01:35:01):
step at a time program. We can all get involved
in do something. But I guess when they do the
right thing, we need to let them know that we're
thankful for it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
Well, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
You know, it's a mixture of caroten and a stick,
if you will, Right, Brian, we've got to Well, so
we're kicking off this summer here in August. Right, they've
got what they call August district work periods, So all
the folks in Washington leave the.

Speaker 1 (01:35:27):
Swamp, come back, tour, do town halls.

Speaker 3 (01:35:30):
Various events to connect with their constituents, talk about the
things we've done and we're going to we're capitalizing on
that right now by talking about the passage of the
Trump middle class tax cuts, the one big beautiful bill,
and engaging folks crossroets, activists to thank the members like
Warren Davidson or David Taylor down in southwest Ohio who

(01:35:51):
voted yes to make these Trump tax cuts permanent. But also, Brian,
we're gonna be out there reminding folks who wasn't who weren't,
who wasn't standing with them. Folks like great Landsman Marcy
Captor in Northwest Ohio who consistently vote no on these
pro growth policies, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):
We got to keep Congressman Thomas Massey in there. My
listening audience loves Congressman Massy. He's a principled man. Donovan.

Speaker 3 (01:36:14):
Well, absolutely, I totally understand where other Masthew's coming from
in his no vote.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
That's our friends in Kentucky. You're in Ohio. I know,
I know you got a state line to keep you
out of trouble there, Donovan. I'm just pulling your chain
a little bit because I'm a huge fan. I get
why Massey voted no, but I do admit I think that,
inspite of the fact that I hate the name of it,
the One Big Beautiful Bill does lock in the twenty
seventeen tax cuts. And what a great thing. Loveby listening audience,

(01:36:43):
know how much money those who voted in favor of
the One Big Beautiful Bill saved ohioans on an annual basis, Well, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
On average about fifteen hundred dollars for a family of
four making seventy five thousand dollars. Right, seventy five thousand
dollars family family for fifty teen hundred dollars off your
federal tax bill.

Speaker 1 (01:37:03):
Just by locking those rates in. That's meaningful, Monchy. It
is it covers the increase, It covers the increase to
the property tax bill here at Ohio.

Speaker 3 (01:37:12):
Donovan, Now you sound like somebody in Columbus just shifting
the burden around. You're chaining a little bit there, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:37:25):
I mean, all I hear they're running to try to
run on the left is a well organized campaign to
criticize the one big beautiful bill because people are going
to die in the streets or something like that. But
they do overlook the benefit to the middle class, which
you just illustrated right there. I mean, you know, fifteen
hundred dollars means a lot when it comes to somebody's
making a family afford it's seventy five thousand dollars. I
mean it's a month worth of groceries. So I mean

(01:37:47):
that's something we all can enjoy. But the criticism seems
to be levy at the corporate tax rate, which is lower.
But I keep defaulting back to the idea, well you don't,
I mean, corporations really ultimately don't pay taxes. They pass
them along with increases or decreases to the goods and
services that they sell to us.

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
Totally, we've got we've got a lot of challenges in
this country. But when it comes to our fiscal house
in Washington, in our country two, there's there's two sides
of the same coin. On one side, we need to
lock in pro growth economic policies. Right, We're not going
to tax our way out of the problems we find
ourselves in as a nation. Right, we need to make

(01:38:27):
sure that we've got pro growth policies that keep taxes
low for individuals and families, but also help stimulate economic growth,
not by printing new money and handing it out to
special interests like the green energy New Deals, but by
ensuring that folks can businesses can keep their money and
use it to reinvest in a business. The other thing

(01:38:47):
we got to do is that start to rein in
the spending. We've grown our national debts. Since two thousand
and one, our spending has merely tripled, yeah about one
point eight TRUI dollars to over six point seven five
trillion in federal spending in twenty twenty four and so
we've got But you know what they've done on this piece,

(01:39:08):
right is they've locked in the pro growth policies. We
made these Trump tax cuts permanent, something just eight months ago,
Brian folks, that might not even be possible. We may
have to let a few folks pay more taxes, or
we may we may only be able to kick the
can down the road a few more years to make
this work.

Speaker 4 (01:39:23):
They locked this stuff in.

Speaker 3 (01:39:24):
It's transformational, it's monumental, and we're going to let folks
know why it matters for them in their pocketbook.

Speaker 1 (01:39:30):
Well, and you know what else is going to really matter,
and it's it's unrelated to the one big beautiful bill
are tangentially unrelated. This removal of declaration as carbon dioxide
as a pollutant, All the trillions of dollars that we
have to ultimately pay to capture carbon or to create
products that don't produce as much carbon dioxide that ends

(01:39:51):
up costing us a lot more in the form of
more expensive appliances, more expensive electricity. I mean, the list
is just endless. It's a needless, inc sort of a
nefarious removal of money from our pocketbooks to pay for
these projects is again they pass along these costs to us,
either because we're paying federal tax dollars and they have
to give incentives, or because the projects are expensive, and

(01:40:13):
you know, creating electricity with windmills and solar panels costs
a lot more, gives us less product, and we end
up getting the cost pass along to us. So I
think that's going to assuming that is removed and it's
no longer the focus of so much effort, that that's
going to give us more flexibility in terms of what
we buy. It's going to lower the prices of a
lot of things we buy, including electricity. So there's going

(01:40:35):
to be a benefit with in that area of the
Trump miministration as well. Oh absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:40:40):
It's a demonstration right that the executive branch, while it
holds it holds a lot of power and probably in
many cases thinks that has more power than it has,
right AKA RAINSAC come back and talk about that another day.
But you know, the executive sets the agena and the
vision for the country, right, and so when you have
a president who is looking at this stuff from more
of a pro prosperity, pro growth, pro opportunity, you know,

(01:41:02):
we end a war on coal we start directing the
regulators and the energy sector to embrace uh, small, modular
nuclear right, and we also hesitant for god knows what
reason to do.

Speaker 1 (01:41:17):
Oh, Donovan, I read an article this morning. NASA is
going to be trying to build a nuclear reactor on
the Moon. On the Moon. Awesome, I know, Wait a minute,
we can't get one here in Ohio. But uh, but
but a Duffy Sean Duffy, the acting administrator from NASA.
So they've been spending they spent literally hunt, he said,

(01:41:38):
hundreds of millions of dollars has been spent spent studying
the idea of how to accomplish building a nuclear base
on the Moon. Now they're moving forward with actually doing it,
he said, Right, but we can't have a line too.

Speaker 3 (01:41:51):
But we can't get one here in Ohio to power
tens of thousands of homes. Yeah, now, but I think
that's changing, Right, That's part of what's changing, whether it's
the laws and cologe like House Bull fifteen that streamlined
our permitting process here in the state, and to the
work that the Trump administration is doing on a federal
level to begin to get this going in the right direction.
To what you're talking about there right with the various

(01:42:13):
regulatory EPA or other you know, handcuffs we put on
ourselves as a nation that others aren't you know, beholden to,
like China. This is the kind of stuff the Trump
administration has been doing. Congress is doing right now with
the new Republican majority, to unleash prosperity, onleash opportunity. And
I think it's why we find so many Americans are
finding that the stresses and burdens of the last couple

(01:42:35):
of years of Bidenomics going away because there's confidence in
the market, there's opportunity in the economy.

least that's my pet cause and I'll do anything I
can do to do that and folks that are doing
it every single day, supporting the American veterans. Clairemont County
Veteran Services Welcome back into the fifty five carssee morning Show.
It's always a pleasure to have Steve belzow In, the
executive director of the Claremont County Veteran Service Commission. Good

(01:45:49):
to see you, Steve Ryan. Always a pleasure to see
you in the morning and always thank you for what
you're doing. You're one of the more well oiled Veteran
Services offices out there. Your services are outstanding. I've never
heard anybody come plain about it. You facilitate the veterans
getting their VA benefits. You help and today we're talking
about financial assistance. You have a financial assistance program. Yeah,

(01:46:11):
you know.

Speaker 13 (01:46:12):
And what's unique about that, Brian, is every county in
Ohio has this program. The Ohio Advised Code is what
sets us into motion for every Veterans Service office in
every county in Ohio. As Ohioans, we are blessed by
what our government has put in place for us to
sustain our veterans of our country.

Speaker 1 (01:46:34):
It's really a great program.

Speaker 13 (01:46:36):
The Emergency Financial Assistance is just that, it's emergency situations arise, right, yeah,
and it's just just weekly there are veterans coming in
with You got to be kidding me, right, Life happens.
We don't have a perfect life, right. There's thorns out there.
There's situations that happen.

Speaker 1 (01:46:54):
You like when you get your property tax increase of
thirty percent. Sorry, I had to go there. Couldn't let
it go. Okay, I'll let that one go. I couldn't.
I couldn't don't take de bait, you know. But but
I guess the broader point is, you know, it happens
from time to time, you know, unanticipated expenses, Lightning strikes
your house, you don't have the money, whatever, Right.

Speaker 13 (01:47:15):
Tree came down in the house of the hurricane insurance Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
So the Emergency financial program is really unique in our
ability to help veterans in their their current situation. But
it's not one we have to define veterans, right, So
the VA sees veteran different than the American public sees veteran,

(01:47:36):
and this program is supported the same way by the
State of Ohio. So if I wore the sacred cloth
of our country, as we often refer to our military uniforms,
as a reservist or a guardsman and never activated under
Title ten by the United States Code by the President
to support, you're not seen by the VA or the

(01:47:57):
Ohio Revice Code as a veteran for support.

Speaker 1 (01:48:01):
Okay.

Speaker 13 (01:48:02):
So every other military member, it's either active duty or
former active duty, or as a reservist or guardsman, you're
activated under Title ten to support something on behalf of
this country, Okay, Okay, So that that in a sense
kind of confines what is a veteran. So you're gonna
support your veteran by your DD two fourteen, which is

(01:48:23):
an active duty release of service or an active duty
military ID card. Okay, and most active duty coming back.
We have what one base here in Ohio maybe two,
so there's not a lot of active duty around us.
But what there are is active duty members home on leave.
And what if that active duty member was in a
horrible accident right right, stuck in the hospital. Yeah they

(01:48:45):
have healthcare, yes they have this, but then there's needs
that come in beyond that. How do I help take
care of the children. I'm a dad, whatever's going on?

Speaker 1 (01:48:51):
Right, You're the sole breadwinner in the family. You're laid
up in the hospital. DA maybe covering that component, but
nobody's replaced the salary.

Speaker 13 (01:48:58):
Right right, Well, if they're actiduty, they're going to get
their salary regardless, and they're going to be on some
emergency leave status. But yet there's still extenuating impact from
something like that of putting the car back together, right
that the military is not going to put his car
back together, So they could come and see us and
we would help get their car back on the road, right,
so people repairs to what have you. So it's it

(01:49:21):
does have a limited scope. But as far those occasions
when something just out of nowhere blows up your life
in a sense that we can help you get back
up on life.

Speaker 1 (01:49:30):
All right. Well, and there are criteria that define an
emergency to be eligible for this this this program. What
are the criteria specifically, So we're talking about emergencies. Emergency
is something that rows unexpectedly. My Duke bill did not
come unexpectedly order to property that negating my point earlier.

(01:49:51):
Maybe the thirty came on.

Speaker 13 (01:49:54):
Long enough for who it was coming, right, So it's
it's it's something that arose unexpected such a your accidents,
such as the neighbor cutting down a tree and it
fell on us. But okay, it's unexpected, right, It's not
something I see longcoming. It created in a sense an
immediate need for financial assistance. So how to validate that

(01:50:15):
while we require you to bring in two months of
your bank statements so we can show that it was
an immediate financial need, not that you had twenty K
in the bank and I need you to pay off
my three thousand dollars bill over here. Well, no, you
have plenty that you have saved up and you've managed yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:50:31):
So the guards are in place for and I hate
to even think about someone who's served our country in
uniform gaming the system. But bad eggs exist everywhere. In
spite of the fact that Bob McDonald thought it was
it was profound point that he went to West Point,
there are some West Point people that ended up in Levenworth.
So you know, there are of every branch I see, Okay,

(01:50:51):
this is why Levenworth is so large.

Speaker 13 (01:50:53):
However, sometimes you can take Johnny out of the trailer part,
but you can't take park out of jail.

Speaker 1 (01:50:59):
Right, you got the garden for the tax payer.

Speaker 13 (01:51:01):
He's going right, right, Well, that's just that this is
taxpayers money, it's not mine. So we judiciously look at
this program, and the Americans of Ohio say, we want
to support veterans. I want to ensure that we are
stewards of the county government's money that is handed to

(01:51:23):
me from taxpayers, that we are uplifting veterans and we
are not just offering a handout.

Speaker 1 (01:51:28):
That's why I like you, Steve, because I imagine there
is a you know, Veterans Services Commission out there in
some other county elsewhere that wouldn't have that concern on
behalf of the American taxpayer probably. So it's just like
I can see them just ignoring the criteria for eligibility
and just pushing it through and saying, fine, you're eligible.

Speaker 13 (01:51:47):
Right, right, Well, I've got to get back behind my wallet.
I pay taxes in Claremont County, and how would I
want my money spent? And when I can look at
it from those shoes, it just becomes a different state,
doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:51:59):
If we only had more people in government who viewed
it through that lens, what the world would be such
a better place. It wouldn't be trillions ticking every second,
would not? It would not?

Speaker 8 (01:52:10):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:52:11):
So d D two fourteen is a prerequisite.

Speaker 13 (01:52:13):
For this, And so then on top of that, you
have to have been a resident of Claremont County for
ninety days. You must be employed or actively looking for employment.
So coming in, I've been unemployed for the past two
years and I'm on welfare, I'm really not looking for anything. Well,
then everything is an emergency financial for you because you're

(01:52:34):
not doing anything to uplift yourself and just the basic
needs of life.

Speaker 1 (01:52:38):
Well, and that addresses you're unexpected. If you have no income,
every expense that lends on your plate's going to be
unexpected in a way, right right, all right, Well, I
mean you're viewing that like back in the old days
of domestic relations court. You know, if you had a
deadbeat father who wasn't paying his order to support payments,
you forced him to bring in job applications that he

(01:52:59):
had submitted, right, you make them look for a job.
That's right, that's right, all right?

Speaker 13 (01:53:04):
So, and then you know, there's also times where uplifting
those individuals, such as, what about the spouse of the
World War two veteran who's still here with us, but
the veterans passed on. Let me tell you there was
a There are some great networking partners of ours, and
I'll hold their names tight so everybody's not yelling at them.
Hey fix my two. But there was an eighty five

(01:53:27):
year old early Vietnam Korean War period spouse husband had passed.
He was the veteran. Her AC unit went down in
the middle of July last year, July second, She calls us.
I need help. I'm getting I have three quotes to
replace my HVAC system. Upwards of about fifteen thousand dollars. Oo,

(01:53:51):
I'm on Social Security, my veteran husband is passed, and
that's all of my income. So I called this friend
of ours, friend of the office. He sent one of
his technicians out there on July third, troubleshot the HVAC system.

Speaker 1 (01:54:06):
I'm Brian. On July fourth, I get dusched up on
Steve's experiencing an allergy outright, I'll give you some best.

Speaker 11 (01:54:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:54:16):
On July four, he took his daughter out to fix
this widow's HVAC. It needed one pressurized line to be
soldered pressurized it and on July fourth, this eighty five
year old veteran spouse on oxygen and every other kind
of medication at that age, had her AC restored at

(01:54:39):
zero cost instead of an old, brand new HVAC system
to be placed in August.

Speaker 1 (01:54:45):
That's beautiful, man. That's what this program does, Brian. That's
what this program does, all right. Well, where can veterans
find this application for him to the extent they're experiencing
this financial emergency, you know what?

Speaker 13 (01:54:54):
They can find it at our office at seventy six
South Riverside Drive in Batavia. It's also called the Heritage
Building for Claremont County residents. It's the same place where
you go for early voting. We are on the third floor.
Or you can find it online at Claremont County Veterans
dot Com.

Speaker 1 (01:55:09):
Claima County Veterans dot Com. Right there on the front page.
You can see it turned to us for financial assistance
and can get financial assystem by clicking on the link there.
What's the turnaround time before we part company here, Steve Belzo, No,
that's great.

Speaker 13 (01:55:22):
It used to be we had up until ten days
because the service officers would see it. I've recently hired
an emergency financial advisor investigator and some days it can
be a same day turnaround if you have all your documents.

Speaker 1 (01:55:34):
Claimar County Veterans Services well oiled machine. There are other
ones that could learn from you. You know, this should
be an outreach program, the ones that are the Veteran
Services and other counties that are struggling to get a
to get the ship righted, call Steve Belzo. He'll steer
you in the right direction again. Claremont County Veterans dot Com. Steve,
thanks again for all that you're doing for our veterans.

(01:55:56):
I appreciate your efforts and you're looking at for the
taxpayer dollar at the same time. Absolutely, and thanks for

News Channel's Life Liberty and Levin cher Emeritis of the
Mark Legal Foundation, author of Let's Count Them eight consecutive
number one New York Times Best Tellers, Let's call It nine.
Now with the new book on Power, Welcome back to
the fifty five care Scene morning show. Always a pleasure,
Mark Levin.

Speaker 4 (01:57:14):
Brian, I love that interview. I'm calling again tomorrow.

Speaker 8 (01:57:17):
Eddie.

Speaker 1 (01:57:19):
Anytime, my friend. I listened to you all the time
your Sunday show coming in. I have serious XM and
I listened to Fox News on the way and love
what you have to say. I appreciate your perspective and commentary. Now,
in your book on Power, you discussed the concept of
power extensively. That's the point of the book. How do
you differentiate between legitimate political power and its abuse? You know,

(01:57:40):
you talk about the concept of positive power and negative power.

Speaker 4 (01:57:44):
Well, those are That's a great, great question. The book
takes the word power and takes a very close look
at it because I realized the battle in society and
the culture and government and humanity is overpower. I mean
even in our personal lives psychologically in some cases which
is not where I go. But certainly when it comes

(01:58:05):
to governance, and the Constitution is about power. The Declaration
of Independence lays out what I call positive power, and
then then there's the negative power. Positive power is, for example,
in our country, it's the most unique country ever established ever.
And why because this is a country that's based on
the belief that got a sovereign Judeo Christian belief systems

(01:58:28):
fused with the Enlightenment, that is, we are the sovereign
God's children. Now, how do we manifest that on earth?
And the Enlightenment tells us how power backing power, that's
one of the main elements that came out of the Enlightenment.
Why against the monarchies, dictatorships, that sort of thing, right,

(01:58:49):
But look at the Marxists and the Islamis and others.
The negative power, what are they all about? The centralization
of power? The people aren't the sovereign. The ruling classes the.

Speaker 1 (01:58:57):
Sovereign well, And that's the reason in the concentration of
power in Washington. And I guess you know, as a lawyer,
I always go back to this distorted Washington all powerful.
We live in a republic. We have a tenth Amendment
as well as a ninth Amendment. But we also have
Wickered versus Philburn, which extended this regulatory arm against every
aspect of our lives. That's the problem right there. The

(01:59:20):
court used as a mechanism to get engaged in every
element of our lives.

Speaker 4 (01:59:25):
Yeah, that is a particularly devious decision where basically you
have a whed farmer, so the public knows who is
growing wheat on his own land, and they still claimed
it was interstate commerce capable of being regulated because if
he didn't sell the wheat into interstate commerce, it would
affect interstate commerce. So it's one of the most atrocious
decisions I ran. You're right, it laid the foundation for

(01:59:48):
economic socialism and endless government intervention. So on power, I
just decide, you know, you can't have liberty without rights,
and you can't have rights without power. And there's certain
kinds of power that are good and certain kinds of
power that are bad. And the struggle we're having now,
basically those of us who are not in the Democrat Party,

(02:00:09):
the struggle we're having now with the Democrat Party and others,
by the way, is this issue over power. They want
centralized power. You talk about wicked versus soburn. This is
about a massive fourth branch of government, a bureaucracy. We
want to elect to judges who aren't even in the Constitution,
And what does that mean. We're supposed to be a
government of consensus, a government of representative government. So when

(02:00:34):
you have a bureaucracy doesn't represent the people, when you
want to elect to judges, they don't represent the people either.
They get federal but the role is really outsized in
terms of what they do. So I break this down,
I look at this issue of power. I don't think
we as conservatives, or let me say this, non leftists

(02:00:54):
really think about this enough. This is all they think about.
They're obsessed with it.

Speaker 1 (02:01:00):
Okay, and you talk about it, you don't necessarily go
to the psychological reality. But as you're talking, and this
is something that I struggle with all the time, Mark,
I consider myself a little el libertarian. I remember the
Libertarian Party. But I trust you with your wallet and
your zipper. I don't want to take anything from you.
When I'm done fixing me, maybe I'll come after you,
but that day's never gonna come. I don't understand. Maybe
maybe it's a psychological problem they have. Why do they

(02:01:23):
want to control all of our lives? Why does Zohan
Mundami want to you know, regulate you know, the price
of house, literally the price of everything, micro manage everything.
I don't get where that need for power and control
comes from, which is maybe why I don't get the
direction we're going, because people tend to roll over and
just allow it to happen to them.

Speaker 4 (02:01:44):
Well, if you look at history, and even if you
look around the world today, that is the rule. Yeah,
the dark side of humanity the reason why the Enlightenment
was so important, and the radical islamis never went through
the Enlightenment. They're stuck in the in the seventh century
and the Marxist rejecting Enlightenment. It's the darker side of humanity.

(02:02:06):
I mean, men and women are imperfect, and so the
whole reason the Enlightenment is important, again fused with the
Judeo Christian values, is to get us past that. It
is to embrace the brighter side of humanity, to nurture
the brighter side of humanity and so forth versus this
darker side. And you ask why, Because people can be evil,

(02:02:28):
because people can be greedy, they want power, because people
like to lord over other people. We've got millions of
people who've been murdered in this world as a result
of Marxism and Islamism, that the result of Judaeo Christian
values and the Enlightenment. And so you set up a
government that protects us from evil, whether it's moob, whether

(02:02:49):
it's centralized government. And so where this is why our
constitution is so brilliant and it's so important. Even Scalia said,
what's the key to our constitution? Separation? Powers? Montesque say,
the most important philosopher during our constitutional period, power checks power?
What did even Aristotle say, power needs to check out?
And let me ask you this is that the way

(02:03:11):
Mondamie thinks is that the way the Marxists think is
that the way Bernie Sanders thinks. Did the Democrats think? No,
this constant government program, government, taxation, government regulation, government redistribution.
Their views, their beliefs are simply incompatible with the founding.
And so I lay it all out in.

Speaker 1 (02:03:30):
The book the Book on Power. On my guess today,
Mark Levin, Well, let me ask you this in terms
of reforms. As you were saying that enlightened, smart, critical thinking, logical, reasonable,
well educated people could see through this, they would see
through the lives, they would recognizing the efforts of this

(02:03:50):
negative power and rejected out of hand. Do you think
our education system is to blame for creating a generation
or two or three of useful idiots that are just
too uneducated to see through this, this this overreach and
this abuse of our civil rights and liberties.

Speaker 4 (02:04:08):
I think just a lot of that. There's no question
about it that these people have conquered the culture, whether
it's the media, whether it's academia, whether it's Hollywood and
so forth. We're on the outs there, on the ends.
I don't think there's any question about that. But we
also have the problem where people actually vote for tyranny.
People like free beests. People don't want to give up

(02:04:28):
what they have, but they want to take something that
somebody else has. And again, this is a darker side
of humanity, and the Marxists play right into that. And
also they plain to the fact that human beings are imperfect,
and so they compare something the imperfection of society with
their promises. And what I say is, no, you got

(02:04:49):
to compare something to something, because you know they'll say,
you're hungry, I'll make it affordable. You can't, you can't
get a house. I'll make it. Excuse me, excuse mean,
let's come back down to earth and let's actually deal
with what it is that you're proposing.

Speaker 1 (02:05:04):
Well, that someone can run as a socialist and actually
get traction in New York and Mondomia is an illustration. Yes, true, true,
no argument there, Bernie Sanders, Okay, I guess there was
a period of time, you know, in my lifetime. I
mean that nobody would touch you with a ten foot
pole if you set out loud. I am a socialist
or Marxist or communists. But we've changed the society or

(02:05:27):
perception over the years. We don't study the mistakes in
the past. No one's looking at where these experiments have
have have been held. Like we had a moral barometer
when I was going up to the Soviet Union. It
was freedom and capitalism versus breadlines. It was a perfect
point to make. Look, you want to be a comedy,
you see how terrible things are there. But we lost
that when the wall came down, and since then I

(02:05:49):
feel like we've lost our way.

Speaker 11 (02:05:50):
Mark.

Speaker 4 (02:05:53):
You make a great point. A lot of the younger
people today have no first hand out about what took place.
I mean, the Holocaust is just a distant thing, and
they throw around the word Hitler in the Holocaust or
with the Soviet Union. They don't know a thing about this,
even nine to eleven, who hit us on nine to eleven?
The islamis okay, they don't They weren't alive. Then they

(02:06:15):
don't think about that, and so this is a problem.
That's why I feel like outside of the educational system,
we have to fight back. We still have free speech.
That's why I write these books. That's why you and
I are on the air trying to reach as many
people as we can with American ideals and the belief system,
trying to teach history, trying to explain these things because

(02:06:36):
they're not getting it in the school. They have no
context for this. But you know, we as parents and grandparents,
we have a responsibility too. You don't just send your
kids off the school and hopeful the best, certainly not. Now.
You got to take them under your wing. You got
to educate them, have them read certain things or at
least listen to certain things. That is our responsibility, and
I'm hoping these books, this one in particular, will help.

Speaker 8 (02:06:58):
In that regard.

(02:10:24):
Mark Levin's book on Power to a column Today, written
by a guy named Daniel Sutchman who's described as a
New York investor, but excellent observations in so far along
the lines of what Mark Levin was talking about. I
don't need to read the whole thing. I'll recommend you
get to the Wall Street Journal. The Scholar who saw
Zorhan Mamdani coming in two thousand and three subtitled socialism

(02:10:50):
has never been held accountable for its tyranny and slaughter,
which is the point that was being made by Mark
in part our children don't know about the tragedy it's
brought about by socialism and jumping into the column a
little bit more than two decades ago, historian of political
thought predicted that notwithstanding the triumph of free enterprise, in
his words, it will not be difficult for socialism to

(02:11:12):
change its now quaint name a bit and revive government
economic control into a newly compelling political, economic, and ultimately
cultural agenda. Since American children and college students weren't being
taught what happened under actual socialist regimes, it was only
a matter of time before simplistic slogans attacking private property, billionaires,

(02:11:35):
and profits before people would successfully revive by a smooth
talking demagogue HM in a two thousand and two paper.
In two thousand and two three speech for the Atlas Society,
Alan Charles cors Now, an ameritith professor at the University
of Pennsylvania, foretold how and why this could happen. Cores
lamented that socialism had yet to be held accountable for

(02:11:56):
the scale of its crime, saying, no cause ever in
the history of mankind has produced more cold blooded tyrants,
more slaughtered innocence, and more orphans than socialism with power
close quote the failure to acknowledge and come to terms
with this reality in the West, he believed eventually would
allow socialism to resuscitate itself, even with millions of skeletons

(02:12:19):
hiding in plain view. Zorhan Mamdani, the New York Democratic
mayoral nominee, has proposed government run grocery stores as a
hallmark of his campaign. This is a perplexing platform because,
as mister Core's reminded us in his paper Socialism's quote,
collectivization of agriculture alone led to untold suffering and the

(02:12:39):
starvation of millions. Is mister Mamdani proposing a takeover of
farming and the establishment of gulags, as the Soviet Union
did in Ukraine in the nineteen thirties. No, the mayor
has no such power, but the embrace of even an
innocuous sounding, half baked program of government controlled food distribution
heaving price is low, not making profit, his campaign website says,

(02:13:03):
is disturbing for what it reels about mister Mumdammie's knowledge
and mindset. As mister Cores noted, wherever socialism was implemented,
its vision of the abolition of private property, economic inequality,
and the allocation of capital and goods by free markets,
culminated in the crushing of individual, economic, religious, associational, and

(02:13:25):
political liberty. Mom Dommie's lack of embarrassment identifying himself as
a socialist speaks volumes, as mister core cited an uncontrovertible
lesson of history, which is that adding marketing adjectives to
socialism's label doesn't change its inherent character. Quote whatever the ideals,
whatever the initial intentions, whatever the source of early social conviction,

(02:13:49):
socialism will always lead to serfdom and the sacrifice of
multitudes wells quote, no shame is evident mister mom Dommi's
choice to associate with this history, whether a product of
ignorance or political commitment, He and his fellow travelers seem
adept at what mister Corus described as the intellectual and

(02:14:09):
political art form of denial or minimization of communist crimes.
And then he goes on to point about the Soviet Chinese, Vietnamese,
Cambodian and others is a disasters and socialist experimentation collapsing
or being revealed in the nineteen eighties and nineties that
no one seems to pay the attention to it's well
documented in history that this stuff results in epic failure.

(02:14:34):
It's a fall of our education system to allow these young, naive,
useful idiots they become to embrace socialism without knowing the
downside risks of it. My thoughts, not Daniel Sutzman's. But
it's all right there for you to absorb and read. Anyway.
I thought it was a nice corollary to the comments
from Mark Levin on his book on Power. Coming up next,

(02:14:54):
Judge Andro Napatatano. First though, rhino shield law, I mean
you don't paint no, no, no no. You see the flaking,
the chipping, the fading that you're dealing with with the
typical paint, it's gonna happen again. You're gonna spend the
money to paint your house or your barn, as the
case may be. Don't do it. Don't paint your home
Rhino shield. Yes, rhino shield. That's what we did for

(02:15:15):
our daughter and our fiance for their barn, which looked terrible.
They didn't have the money or resources to allocate toward
a paint project. So yeah, well the barn still works,
it just looks bad. We got the rhino shield and
they do a lot of prep work. The experts at
Rhino shield the key to the product application is the
prep work, so they do a lot of that. Then
they apply the Rhino Shield, which is like eight times

(02:15:36):
to ten times thicker than paint. It's a ceramic product
which reflects the UV rays, keeps moisture out, helps the
underlying surface lasts longer, you know, avoiding rod and it's
guaranteed for twenty five years. Yes, save money ultimately over
the long haul. Get Rhino shield rather than regular paint.

delays to get by northbound seventy one. There's an accident
above Montgomery Road in Keemwood on the right hand side.
Also cleaning up on four at the eastbound two seventy

(02:17:32):
forty two in Sharonville from an earlier accident. It is
International clown Week, so maybe you can celebrate by dressing
up like Saint Bozo or your favorite Midwestern town mayor
maybe even your favorite congressman like Chuck Schumer. Or how
about an MLB manager like Yankees manager Aaron Boone. Well no, wait,

(02:17:56):
that's not really fair because they haven't had their judge.
We've got ours, and he's coming up next, Chuck Ingram
on fifty five the talk.

Speaker 1 (02:18:05):
Station, Hey thirty see this. He gave that a lot
of thought. Judge Enna Paul.

Speaker 15 (02:18:13):
Is clever, very very clever. If you follow what he's
talking about. Mentioning me in the same breath as Aaron
Judge is exhilarating for me.

Speaker 1 (02:18:23):
Ah, pro props to you know sometimes yeah check checksta
half does it? You know it's National Preszel Day. So
here's Judge of Pultano. Whatever. That was a good one, though,
I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to go over
and commend him if I can get him out of
his his his studio parked in the back in the
corner there, Judge Enna Poalitano it's always a real pleasure
to have you on the program. And the subject matter

(02:18:45):
of your column the runaway Texas Democrats. I'm sorry every
time I read an article about the Democrats, uh denying
the quorum and running away to Illinois or wherever they run,
I think amany Python and the Holy Grail, with the
the scene with with well a couple of th scenes
where they run away, run away. Not sure if you're
familiar with the movie, but I can't deny myself the
opportunity to laugh at that. But your column points out,

(02:19:09):
at least legally they're allowed to run away. They are,
They are in.

Speaker 15 (02:19:14):
The Congress, and the state legislature of Texas can't stop
them because the right of every person listening to us now,
they're right of every person anywhere to cross interstate lines unimpeded.
And I'm not talking about obeying traffic laws. Are paying
a toll on the George Washington Bridge is a natural,

(02:19:35):
fundamental right. And you know, I can't get into the
politics of what's going on in Texas except that it's
going to start a firestorm because California is going to
do the same thing for the Democrats and so on.

Speaker 1 (02:19:48):
New Jersey.

Speaker 15 (02:19:50):
However, these people have the right to leave the state,
and the governor of Texas, frustrated though he is, cannot
have them arrested.

Speaker 1 (02:20:00):
Now, you see, I mean it's complicated issue for me.
I guess there was one component that would sort of
criminalize their behavior if they got paid to leave, which
is a different element than just them walking out to
deprive the quorum. So I understand, go ahead.

Speaker 15 (02:20:17):
There may be Texas laws against that kind of compensation,
and the governor has intimated that if someone is paying
your expenses to leave, or if you've raised funds for
that purpose right under Citizens United, a Supreme Court opinion

(02:20:40):
that basically says raising money for politics is the equivalent
of free speech.

Speaker 1 (02:20:45):
I think they can do it.

Speaker 15 (02:20:48):
Can Texas ex post facto declare their behavior.

Speaker 4 (02:20:52):
To be criminal?

Speaker 1 (02:20:53):
No, the constitution prohibits that.

Speaker 15 (02:20:56):
So what started out as a bit of a stunt,
let's find a way to get five more Republicans out
of Texas, and then morphed into deep and profound frustration.
Sixty Democrats are leaving their jobs, their family, and their
responsibility by leaving the state now becomes a very serious
constitutional issue.

Speaker 1 (02:21:16):
And that's why I wrote about this.

Speaker 15 (02:21:19):
The right to travel is a fundamental liberty. It is
up there with speech, assembly, religion, self defense, just as
if it were articulated in the Bill of Rights. That's
not me, that's the Supreme Court of the United States
in nineteen sixty nine in this case Shapiro versus Thompson.

Speaker 1 (02:21:38):
Well in your column, and I'm glad you did this
because something that's rarely ever mentioned. Of course, you point
out that it's rarely, if ever addressed in any case law,
the Ninth Amendment. And you point out or I recognize
that Madison couldn't like codify all natural rights that we enjoy,
because you know, sitting down and you try to think
of of all the fundamental human rights we have, would

(02:22:00):
be a difficult chore, and he might leave one out
and inadvertently not included. Ergo, that wouldn't be a fundamental right.
But the Ninth Amendment protects all of those, and yet
it's rarely ever mentioned. Much in the same way the
Tenth Amendment. I mean, you know, all rights not expressly
reserved of the federal government reside in the states. Think
that seems to be a very powerful tool for states
to fight back against federal government control and entering to

(02:22:23):
areas of the law that they have no authority under
the Constitution to enter into correct justice.

Speaker 15 (02:22:29):
Clarence Thomas is the excuse me, the current champion of
the Tenth Amendment on the Supreme Court, and every once
in a while he has four of his colleagues agree
with him, and then these things.

Speaker 1 (02:22:44):
Stop the Feds in their tracks.

Speaker 4 (02:22:47):
So I don't know how this is going to end.

Speaker 15 (02:22:49):
The last two or three times they did this, they
got sick and tired of being away from their families
and away from their jobs. They came home, they felfilled
the choir, and the Republicans got what they wanted. The
same thing may happen again. The big picture is this
will cause an equal and opposite reaction, and if you
do the math, the Democrats are likely to benefit more

(02:23:12):
from this than the Republicans because there are more Republican
seats in democratic states that could easily be turned into
Democratic seats by moving the margins.

Speaker 1 (02:23:24):
Is this moral?

Speaker 8 (02:23:25):
Is this fair?

Speaker 1 (02:23:27):
Is it constitutional? Well?

Speaker 15 (02:23:29):
The Supreme Court says it's constitutional unless it's based on race.
If it's not based on race, it's constitutional.

Speaker 1 (02:23:38):
The jerrymandering that's going on you're referring to.

Speaker 15 (02:23:40):
Correct correct correct, And because you use the word jerrymandering
brings us back to Elbridge Jerry, a Massachusetts legislator who
was first had this blamed on him in the era
of Thomas Jefferson. So this has been going on for
two hundred and twenty years.

Speaker 1 (02:24:00):
Quite often, gerem entering is done specifically in order to
create race based jurisdictions, you know, protect the communities, or
you know, incorporate all like for example, black people incorporating
them all into one general district so that in shore
they know.

Speaker 15 (02:24:14):
They'll have a representative in Congress, right right, That too,
can be unconstitutional if it impermissively disfranchises whites.

Speaker 4 (02:24:28):
So there's really no end to this.

Speaker 15 (02:24:31):
The Supreme Court hates these cases, most of these race
based cases. The Court is all over the place and
hasn't given any clear guidance. The best guidance I can
articulate is what I said a few minutes ago. The
legislatures can draw the line anyway they want, as long
as it's not race based. There is a case involving

(02:24:52):
North Carolina somebody versus Charlotte Mecklenberg. I forget the full
name of the case where the congressional district was the
width of a highway because they wanted the connect A
to B and they have to be contiguous. Yeah, so
the contiguity the connection was literally a highway on which

(02:25:15):
of course no one lived. Supreme Court said, you can't
do that.

Speaker 1 (02:25:19):
That is not a valid apportion. Well, I guess I'm
sort of curious to know whether this is something that
could be addressed, so they're allowed to redistrict. There's no
doubt this is a battle of attrition that ultimately the
Republicans of Texas will win because the Democrats will eventually
go home. There will eventually be a quorum, as you
pointed out. But the crisis that's created by this and

(02:25:39):
this whole idea of redistricting and gerrymandering, is this something
that's worthy of or could be addressed by Congress? He
said almost yes, yes, Congress.

Speaker 15 (02:25:49):
Well, Congress could prohibit redistricting other than right after a.

Speaker 1 (02:25:58):
Census. Census.

Speaker 15 (02:26:00):
In fact, a two conservative Republican members of the House
their names now escaping me have introduced legislation to prohibit
these midterm changes. But in terms of how the districts
are crafted, Madison left that to the states. Intentionally left
that to the states. This very little Congress can do

(02:26:20):
without confronting, as you pointed out a few minutes ago, Brian,
the tenth Amendment, because this issue of who you send
to Congress and how you send them is expressly reserved,
expressly reserved to the states.

Speaker 1 (02:26:36):
Now, for those who are struggling to read through their
Constitution to find the right to the freedom to travel
as a fundamental right, it doesn't specifically say that, though,
does it. That's the ninth Amendment.

Speaker 15 (02:26:45):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (02:26:46):
Correct.

Speaker 15 (02:26:47):
The ninth Amendment, which is the catch all which those
of us who believe in the natural law argue, was
Madison's articulation of natural rights rarely has you know. I
wrote a treatise about this called Freedom's Anchor, An Introduction
to Natural Law in American Constitutional History, and my researchers

(02:27:10):
and I looked at every Supreme Court opinion that expressly
accepts or especially rejects the principle of natural rights. There's
very few of them, Brian, right, very very few. There
aren't more than a handful, and most of them are
pre Civil War. So the concept of natural rights, though

(02:27:32):
these rights are natural to every human being, is something
that the Supreme Court really doesn't want to touch. When
they do touch it, they don't call it natural rights.
And I said to Justice Scalia once, well, why are
you calling this a pre political right rather than a
natural right?

Speaker 4 (02:27:47):
Because without natural law stuff, it's too Catholic.

Speaker 1 (02:27:50):
It's too Catholic.

Speaker 15 (02:27:52):
Too Catholic, you go to mass epartunity.

Speaker 4 (02:27:54):
How the others won't go for it.

Speaker 1 (02:27:58):
I can't believe a man of his intellectual level could
even turn to that as being too Catholic. Natural rights
those exist for people of all political stripes, even for
atheists and agnostic folks.

Speaker 11 (02:28:12):
Right.

Speaker 15 (02:28:12):
You know, I was teaching when I was teaching at
Brooklyn Law School, I taught a of course jurisprudence, and
a young man came up to me.

Speaker 1 (02:28:19):
He said, Judge, I went to Catholic grammar school. I
went to a Catholic college.

Speaker 15 (02:28:25):
I heard about natural wall till I'm blue in the face.
Now I'm at a law school that's primarily Jewish, and
I have to hear.

Speaker 1 (02:28:31):
About it again. Outstanding only in America, Only in America. Oh,
we were blessed every week here in the Greater CINCINNTI area,
well actually nationwide since I got people from all different
states tuning into the program every morning, but we're blessed
to have you on regardless of where you're listening from
Judge and Neapolitano every Wednesday at eight thirty here in

(02:28:52):
the fifty five Carseing Morning Show. Get his column comes
out tonight at midnight. The Runaway Texas Democrats. Who you
got me talking to today on Judging the I have Scott.

Speaker 15 (02:29:00):
Ridder at one o'clock today, who's about to argue that
some of the President's foreign policy moves there deeply dangerous,
like sending nuclear submarines closer to Russia. Max Bloomenthal, who
will make the case about the starvation in God and

(02:29:20):
Phil GERALDI, what is the intelligence community up to?

Speaker 11 (02:29:24):
Next?

Speaker 15 (02:29:25):
Why was an MI six British intel agent arrested by
the Russians in Ukraine. So this is the stuff we're
talking about this afternoon.

Speaker 1 (02:29:36):
Great material and subject matter. We'll be listening Judging Freedom
and of course next to our next Wednesday with another
edition here on the fifty five Cares this morning. Shure,
God bless you your honor, have a great man and.

Speaker 15 (02:29:45):
All the best to you and your family, your listeners,
and to Strecker who really puts this show together all
the time. I see him down there at the bottom of.

Speaker 1 (02:29:52):
The screen without Joe the show don't go oh catchphrase.
We got going on here, and I appreciate you recognize
him because he is a critical element to the fifty
five care see morning show. Love you brother, we'll talk
next week. Have a great height forty two right now,
fifty five care see the talk stations to ground. We
got more to talk about. Joe's got the phone lines open.
You feel free to chime in if you care too.

(02:30:12):
I'll be right back.

Speaker 9 (02:30:13):
Fifty five KRC.

Speaker 1 (02:30:16):
Happy Wednesday listener to lunch Wednesday. Today we're gonna bet
Weedham and Brewery up to see you there, and I
hope he's still got it on his schedule. Cribbage, Mike,
Welcome back to the Morning Show, my submarine or friend.
We're gonna be playing cribbage today at lunch.

Speaker 6 (02:30:28):
Most assured. Lee there, Brian, and I know I got
my work cut out for him because my grandson Parker
doesn't start school till next week, so once again he
will be rooting in your corner.

Speaker 11 (02:30:38):
Sir.

Speaker 1 (02:30:39):
Well, he's been lucky for me the last four times.
After amazing almost epic losing streak. I got you backed
in the corner because I paid attention to your skills
in the game of cribbage. I guess I don't know, Mike.
My luck will end at some point here real soon,
maybe today. But I don't care if I win or lose.
I always enjoy our company, man.

Speaker 6 (02:30:56):
Great fellowship, Sir. Yes, hey, I heard a judge mentioned
he's got a guest coming up to talk about the
submarines being moved closer to Russia, and a lot of
people got their hair on fire when Trump made that comment.
I believe it was Friday, and I'm here to assure everyone.
Since I patrolled the ocean depth since the seventies, We've
been there, we will always be there, and with the

(02:31:19):
range and accuracy of our current arsenal, this is no
new news. So no operational security was given, and especially
with the China threat. Since I was in in the seventies,
you know that they are all over the place, and
even if you knew where they were yesterday, you don't
know where they are today.

Speaker 1 (02:31:36):
Well, and that's an excellent point. They obviously are very
stealthy and they can move, and one of the things
that people called out Trump about was apparently he suggested
the area where the subs were, which is not something
that's normally stated. I mean, you can state together our
subs patrolling the waters, and we all say, well, no kidding,
that's what they're there for, that's what they're for. But
to say we've got them in the so and so area,

(02:31:58):
but that was negated by some commentary by folks like
you who are in the know, which is like you
could say they're in whatever area, but that would last
all of a few seconds, because the subs can easily
move out of there and zip over someplace else, and
they're very very difficult, if not impossible, to actually track
once they're underwater.

Speaker 6 (02:32:16):
They're amazing between the shock mounting on all of the
engineering equipment, literally almost wrapping the entire submarine, which if
you can envision the tiles that used to be underneath
the Space Shuttle for more sound absorption. In fact, my
sonarman friend used to say, especially with our tried to
fleeplistic missile submarines, you listen for the lack of what

(02:32:39):
we call biologic You know, your fish, your whale, so
you listen for the absence of noise and maybe that's
where that submarine is.

Speaker 1 (02:32:45):
But because the subs scare scare the natural stuff away
for the most part. Oh wow, So the absence of
sounds suggests the location of the submarine. That's an interesting
pod way of viewing it. Wow.

Speaker 6 (02:33:00):
Yeah, it's just just amazing when you're down there and
what you hear, you know, what shrimp sounds like, and
of course the whales and the dolphins and everything else.
It's just just incredible that you're down there amongst them.

Speaker 1 (02:33:10):
What a life you had, man, what a life? Well,
I appreciate you lending some context to what's going on.
Although him talking about nuclear submarines being off the coast
of Russia, I mean, Russia's threats to use nukes under
some circumstances does create an easy, you know, oh my god,
World War three is getting ready to break out kind
of scenario for folks. It's a little frightening to talk about.

Speaker 6 (02:33:31):
And that's the beauty of those things that we've been
since the early sixties with the earlier versions of our
fleet blistic missile submarines that if we actually have to
launch a missile that we basically they haven't done their
job because they are all about the terrems because and
especially with just yesterday being the anniversary or Hiroshima. Multiple
warheads on those missiles that eat just one missile alone

(02:33:55):
is every bomb that we've ever dropped. So just that
sheer threat and once again the accuracy to go over
four thousand miles to decide if you want to put
it in that window or that window because of the
bunk or busting you know, just what we saw at
the B two. These things have had that technology for
quite some time.

Speaker 1 (02:34:10):
Well, that's that's refreshing. We never get to that. No,
I mean, hell no, that well, you know obviously the
idea that we can do that, that they are that accurate,
that they are that destructive, that information is readily available
to support the very point that they are there for,
which is mutually assured destruction. Don't use yours is we're
going to use ours, and we're all gonna die.

Speaker 6 (02:34:32):
They used to, They used to sit off the up
in Connecticut where they where they are. Every single one
of them gets built, we would have basically allow them,
and they did not want to interfere with our sea
trials because and we wanted them to show that when
they go out and launch a missile off off Cocoa Beach, Florida.
We wanted it to show that, Okay, here's what this
thing can do. And look how accurate it is because
they would also track the telemetry just like we would.

Speaker 1 (02:34:54):
Right right, that's to be expected. Wow. Well, Mike, I
appreciate your insight on this, and I'll look forward to
another great cribbage game and some wonderful fellowship today at
listener lunch again, Weedaman, see you there around eleven thirty
twelve o'clock whenever you happen to get there. I know
you come a little bit later because you and I

of the lunch. Can't wait, my friend, Take care and
