Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good to see Adam in. A Happy New Year to
you man.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yeah, you too, Brian, It's great to be back in here.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's as sad there's really nothing in the world to
talk about, not locally, not nationally, not in the state.
You know, it's just it's a dead news cycle.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah. Yeah, the worst state is Minnesota. There's absolutely nothing
going on.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I know, nothing at all at all, my word and anyhow,
So with that joke out of the side, plenty to
talk about, of course. So the city of Cincinnati has
been keeping you busy. You're you know, we have Todd Zinzer.
We call him Citizen Watchdog, that's his podcast. You're a
parallel to Todd Zenzer in that you keep your eye
on the what I always refer to jokingly as shenanigans,
(00:36):
but sort of the you know, question marks going on
with since a city council, the silence from since a
city council. You know, why in the hell is it
that they don't support the police. We could go on
and on and on, but these are the kind of
things that you regularly focus on throughout the year. And
the place that you point out these things the Cincinnati Exchange.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, so we decided to start our own newspaper, you know,
running in a couple elections and then helping Corey with
his most recent campaign, and and you know, you see
how that turned out. You know, a lot of conservatives
just feel like their voice isn't being heard in local
news organizations, you know, especially local papers, and over time,
I think a lot of those news organizations in general,
(01:16):
you know, even though the much larger ones have been
their newsrooms have been taken over by activists. There's even
a collective bargaining agreement with one of the unions in
this in the Democratic Socialists of America, which is pretty wild.
Yeah really, yeah, look it up. It's yeah, the News
Guild and the Democratic Socialists of America have a collective
(01:36):
bargaining agreement between each other.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Maybe that's what Bobby, who calls in the program refers to.
He just he randomly throws that collective bargaining agreements, and
I'm quite often I'm like puzzled over what prompted that.
Maybe that's exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Because there are some some DSA employees that are also
in the union and they have their own kind of
deal worked out. Not that the DSA is somehow influence
seeing the newsrooms. But I mean when you have DSA,
people who are pretty far left activists, who are also
working in some of these newsrooms.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And they are influencing the news, you.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Would assume, yeah, at least some of the larger.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Ones, you know, And I'm sure that shocks no one.
That shocks nobody, because if anybody who watches any kind
of mainstream news or reads any sort of mainstream papers,
I mean, you can just read the bias. It's I mean,
hear it. It's just so obvious. It's it's all. I
feel almost embarrassed for them calling themselves a news organization
because when I think news, I think traditionally an unbiased
(02:34):
reporting of the facts. Right, there was a killing in
Minnesota and ice agent shot a woman who was obviously
trying to drive her car, And was it justified. Some
people are saying it isn't. Some people are saying it is.
That's a neutral, boiled down analysis of what is ultimately
a very complicated issue. But once you start interjecting this
was murder robber, that's not news. That becomes opinion, and
that seems to me where all news has gone.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's right, and it's it's gotten very sensationalized, but on
the bias of the people in the newsroom. And you
know how this can be infectious. You get one activist
person in there who's outspoken, You've got other people who
aren't as outspoken. They just want to come in and
do their jobs. They can be influenced by those people.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh here, what immediately popped into my mind the team
meeting at work. You got your boss in the room,
and your boss comes up with some kind of a
solution or suggestion for a new work function or whatever.
Does anybody to have any problems or objections with that? No,
it's her idea. She's the queen of the room, and
somebody inside has got this point. Oh my god, had
(03:35):
she thought about maybe this happening? Because that doesn't sound
like it's going to work out really well. Now, you
keep your mouth shut.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
That's right, that's right, that's exactly great to make the point. Well,
and you don't want to lose your job.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You don't want to be ostracized.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Right, and then if it gets too toxic, you end
up leaving, And then what happened. Only five percent now
of journalists consider themselves conservative. The vast majority consider themselves
either kind of centrists right, because that's their job actually
is just so who knows if they're even telling the
truth on that. But many of them are democrat or
(04:09):
they consider themselves far left. So that's a big, big
problem if that's the case. And that's what the numbers
are showing. That's an actual survey that was taken, so
people can actually look that up. But also something came
out just recently that I saw where men, particularly conservative
men of European descent, were kept out of newsrooms. So
(04:34):
this whole DEI thing they kind of went overboard. Well, yeah,
and your voice, my voice, the things that we believe
in are not being written anymore. So that's where you
see these headlines that are slanted more to the left.
And it's a big problem in news. And it wasn't
just that, like that's stuff I found recently. We've been
(04:54):
building this newspaper for a while now. It actually launched
maybe two months ago. But the idea was we called
it to sin say Exchange, because it's an exchange of ideas.
It's an exchange of everybody's ideas, and I wanted to
bring people like Todd and Todd's actually written for it
and bring those folks in bring those voices in that
don't feel heard and aren't getting op eds printed in
(05:17):
local newspapers.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And nobody provides more supportive documentation or implement or information
than a guy like Todd Zenzer. He's an important voice.
Yes he has an opinion about it, But here are
the documents which gave rise to my commentary or gave
rise to my criticism about the mayor or council or
(05:39):
what's going on behind the scenes or Chryl Long. It's like, oh,
you're just some bright wing concern. No, no, here, here
is the reason why I'm making this criticism. They haven't
followed food with paperwork, they haven't followed through with where
the money went. Fill in the bike. Why didn't they
buy the trucks we needed to do snow removal? I mean,
he looks into that and then provides, you know, the
credibility for it. Yeah, nobody's listening to him.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, And you don't want to feel like you're being
bullied by Plumb Street, right, Yeah. And a lot of
times those news organizations, you know, they're either ideologically ideologically
tied to what's going on at Plum Street, or they're
just afraid to challenge what's going on down there. Guys
like Todd are not afraid, No, not at all. Smitherman
not afraid, right, And those two podcasts are actually streaming
(06:23):
on our home page of the website.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
The Cincinnati Exchange dot com. I appreciate you posting my
interview with Brian James from this morning, as well as
The Big Picture with Jack Adaan and yesterday. Some of
those podcasts will link right there. Your information might be
linked as well, but I encourage you to bookmark at
the Cincinnati Exchange dot com. We'll bring out them back
and we'll talk a little bit more coming up. After
I mentioned whom I mentioned now Oder exit od O
(06:46):
r XIT notation seven about GARC DE talk station. I'm
very happy Thursday, do you call it Friday Eve. We're
gonna hear from Jay Ratlifft bottom of the next hour,
after we hear from Congressman David Taylor. Great day to
talk with the congressman, and of course always a great
time talking with Adam Kaylor. And you can find The
Cincinnati Exchange, which is his online newspaper, and it is
(07:08):
in a newspaper style format. The articles are there, the
links are there. The Cincinnati exchange dot com and obviously,
as you pointed out, the impetus behind this to provide
actual reporting.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, actual reporting, right, people like Todd you know. I mean,
we've got a bunch of people. You go to our
bout page and you'll see everybody that contributes to the paper.
I mean, I even got my my personal trainer looped
in somehow, my buddy Josh Smith to write some health articles,
you know, calories in, calories out type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But we got a new food pyramid by the way, right,
I mean I go back to the four four three
two era back in the seventies, you know, and they
were really focusing on grains and and that's like the bottom.
They treat grains and bread and things of that nature,
like carbohydrates like they used to treat sugar.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. And before the break, we were
just talking about food. We're talking about healthy habits and
things that you've been doing, things that I do. And
it's really important to have that. But you know, it's
also important when you're talking about the news to tell
the truth, amen, and to try to get out here
and have that other perspective. And the problem is is
so the city of Cincinnatis. You could see in Corey's
(08:19):
campaign eighty twenty, which was surprising to me. But that's
the city. When you go across the river, you get
out into the suburbs, you get up into Butler Warren County,
those places are still served by Cincinnati media.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yes, they are so those people.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And you know when I was running, I was running
for Hamblin County. So go out in different parts of
Hamilton County and you talk to these folks and they're
the ones who are like, I'm canceling my subscription to this.
I don't want to read this anymore. I don't feel like,
you know, my perspective or what I see, how I
see the world is portrayed in this particular news So
(08:57):
there's an audience there that isn't and serve correct by
the current media outside of like your your your podcast,
this show. You know some I'd say, Trisha Mackie, she's
doing a great job, but there's some people out here
that just say, look, I don't feel like I want
to read this thing anymore because you know, it's just
(09:17):
not serving me. So there's an opportunity there for another
news group to come in here that wants to tell
the truth that wants to bring in local voices instead
of local staff. So I want to bring these people in,
mix it up a little bit and have these stories
told from the people's perspective.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, and you'll, of course you're inviting people to offer content,
it sounds like to me. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean
people can come in. It's like writing a letter to
the editor. You may get it published in the Enquiry.
You may not.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, that's I suppose that's a may or may not
with you as well. But if you've got some legitimate
point to make, if it's logical, it's reasonable, and it
presents your side of the ledger, go ahead and send
it into Adam over at the the since a change.
Maybe you'll actually see it in print and it might
get read by someone. That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, And guys like Todd. You know, I trust Todd.
You know I've I've I've talked Todd so many times.
We were involved in the whole railroad sale thing. Uh,
you know, Todd knows what he's doing. I mean he does.
Former US Inspector General, and you know, dots his eyes,
crosses his t's and he's the type of guy I
want to I want to hear from and Tom Brickman.
I mean, who's better at talking about tax than Tom Brick?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So I mean you got guys like that that I've
met through my political experience. Uh, you know, people with
some of these organizations that are very concerned about what's
going on in the city. I mean, look at what
just happened. You had AFTAB come out after they promised
there wouldn't be any new taxes, you know, because of
the railroad. Yeah exactly, Yeah, George Bush all over again, right,
(10:54):
and Bush at least faced consequences for it. That's why
Aftab kept his powder dried till after he got elected.
And then he says, oh, by the way, I'm gonna
raise your income tax exactly all the name of public safety. Though, Adam,
this time, it's not equal housing or affordable housing or
some kind of nonsensical left wing program, it's republic safety.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Right where you've been on that topic for so long.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Well, they've been hating on the police.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
They have been, yes, ganging up on them with obviously
the intended result nobody wants to be a cop anymore,
or we are now struggling with it. One more with
Adam Keyler, followed by Congressman David Taylor after the top
of the Our News will continue in a moment here
at seven forty six right now fifty five KR City
Talk station, And another opportunity for me to remind you
that there is a the talk station seven fifty here
(11:39):
fifty five KR City Talk station, probably Eve again. Congressman
David Taylor after the top of the Our News with
Jay Ratliffe if our aviation expert at the bottom of
the next hour. In the meantime, Adam Keayler in studio.
And you really should, you really should bookmark and I
know regularly recommend websites of folks, But if you want local,
balanced information about what's going on, you feel like you're
not getting it from your local news outlets, maybe like
(12:01):
the Inquirer kind of rubs you the wrong way for
some reason, or you're reporting from Fox nineteen or five
or nine or twelve, the Cincinnati Exchange dot com. May
even get your own stuff putt it in there. I
know you've had some good donations, some good offerings, including
Corey Bowman just recently wrote an article Carea on crime
in the area. That's great, but moving away from that
(12:23):
sort of local element, and I don't want to take
the time away, but you and I just stumbled ssembled
upon something I brought up earlier this morning. I saw yesterday,
and this is an article right there on this sin
say exchange corporate home buying ban. Trump moves to block
institutional investors from buying up all these houses. We know
that's going on, and there are some regions of the
country where the city, the home ownership in the city
(12:44):
it's like maybe comprised of fifteen to twenty twenty five
percent of like a black Rock ownership.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh, black Rock owns a lot, hundreds of thousands of units,
all right.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The capitalist in me says, well, wait a second, this
is government interference. They are a buyer. It's an open market.
They should be free to buy. But the realist in
me knows that's making things very difficult for the regular
I want to buy a house homeowner, the American dream.
They've been priced out of the market because Blackrock shows
up with, you know, an extra hundred thousand dollars and
you can't compete with that. So I was struggling with
(13:14):
that reality. Donald Trump's trying to appeal to the populism.
And this is a remarkable I said this morning. It
sounds like an idea that came from democrats.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It totally does. Well, remember Trump used to be a Democrat.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That he is who whatever is.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Also he's also real estate guy, right, and he knows
what he's been hearing. I mean, you know, if I'm
a political advisor and I'm talking to him right now, say, look,
the vast majority of people want cheap houses versus love blackrock, right.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Right, overwhelmingly overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But yeah, I mean I think I think it's it's
a little bit of overreach. I mean, the same thing
he did with the Intel, right. I mean, guys like
you and I, more libertarian type folks, yes, you know,
we see stuff like that. We're like, whoa, wait a minute,
government overreach, but in a different way, right yep. And
then you look at places like New York. I mean,
look what Mumdanie's doing.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Listeners, Adam's going to shed a light on something that
probably should frighten you. Go ahead, Adams.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, and this is the kind of thing I don't
think would get covered correctly here locally. But there's this
thing called the Kopa in New York, and what it
does is it doesn't necessarily seize property outright. The one
big thing we're scared of with communism, right and socialism,
eventually it leads to property seizure. Well, if you own property.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
The elimination of private property is the goal.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That's it, right. And then redistribution this is what they promise, right,
So it restricts who you can sell your property to.
And then it slows down the process. So you actually
have to offer your commercial property. Okay, So I own
a building in New York, YEP, I want to sell it.
I'm moving, YEP. I have to go to this entity
(14:50):
and say I'm selling my home. Give them it's the
right of first refusal, correct, exactly. And in America, you
want to sell your property as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You think I live in America, I own proper in America.
I could sell it to whoever I want to sell
it to, not in the city of New York.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
So you have a buyer under that scenario and they
want to offer you, let's say a million dollars for
this property, you still must go to that entity and
give them the option of outbidding yep.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
And nonprofits tied to the government right, and the government
itself gets right a first refusal. You actually, even if
you've got a deal on the table with a buyer,
you have to offer your property up to one of
these nonprofits. And if it's in a great area, do
you think the city of New York, Mum Donnie is
going to find the money to give to a nonprofit
(15:36):
who's going to purchase your property?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And what is phase two or perhaps phase three, which
is the ultimate goal in this nonsense. The left wing organizations,
basically a conglomerate of all these organizations will collectively get together,
it becomes sort of the left wing black Rock's right
and buy up these properties because they have the right
of first refusal. And then what do they do with them?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh, they bring in a whole bunch of people that
vote the way they want them to vote, and they
stick them in these units. And next thing you know,
the city's flooded with democratic socialist.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, I think the fact that mom Dommy got elected
is already an illustration of the city has been flooded
with a democratics.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
So well, when a lack of effort by Republicans or
even by normal democrats, right, I mean, just moderate people
who just didn't come out to vote. Happened in Miami,
like less than twenty percent of the people came out
to vote. Miami, they have a Democrat mayor now right
after Mayor Suarez, who's, in my opinion, has done a
great job, but nobody's voted. And look at Cincinnati. I
(16:35):
know Forttle, California and Riverside are the only places in
Cincinnati the vote the vote to the right anymore, and
everybody else is hardcore blue.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
This is a permanent fixture now in the fifty five
KRCY Morning show studio is this map of the city
of Cincinnati. And when we have crime and bad things happen,
or neighborhoods want to go a different direction beyond Sincenay
City Council's ideas, I can quickly consult like oh to
eighty five to one hundred percent have to have provoll well,
that might explain something. It's all right, is right there,
(17:05):
that's right. Appreciate Joe Strecker and what he does every day.
Adam Keller, appreciate what you do. And again to my listeners,
check it out book market, the Cincinnati Exchange dot com.
And obviously there's a welcome opportunity for you to offer
some news items you might want to see there. I
don't know who makes the editorial decisions over there. Perhaps
it's you, Adam, but.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's right right now, it's me. But we just hired
a growth marketer and we're hiring some more people. So yeah,
things rocking and rolling. We got our writers are our
full time like kind of staff writer. But yeah, yeah,
making the decisions. But yeah, and you can also go
to cincy x ci n c y x dot com
so you don't have to type in the whole Cincinnati exchange. Yeah,
so you can just type in cinci x dot com
and get there. But yeah, I mean, I'd love to
(17:45):
hear from people in the suburbs especially. I mean, I've
always been in the city myself, so a lot of
the people I know are here in the city. But
I'd love to hear from the people in the suburbs.
I mean, you know, the Northeast Republican Women's Club folks
from that organization, great organization. I'd love to hear some
of the their voices. Uh, you know, people on the
on the Deep West Side who who don't feel like
they're they're being heard by by local news organizations like
(18:07):
let's get out in the in the suburbs, let's get
over in the northern Kentucky and let's hear what everybody
has to say.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Adam, I can't think you know. If I love the idea,
I love how it's working. The right there. It's easy
to get to since the x dot com it Joe's
already edited to my blog page Vity five, casey dot com,
the link to the uh the online paper. Adam Taylor,
by all the success in the world to you and
keep up the great work you are doing on behalf
of the residents of the area. And that's a great thing.
That's what we're doing, filling that gap.
Good to see Adam in. A Happy New Year to
you man.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yeah, you too, Brian, It's great to be back in here.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's as sad there's really nothing in the world to
talk about, not locally, not nationally, not in the state.
You know, it's just it's a dead news cycle.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah. Yeah, the worst state is Minnesota. There's absolutely nothing
going on.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I know, nothing at all at all, my word and anyhow,
So with that joke out of the side, plenty to
talk about, of course. So the city of Cincinnati has
been keeping you busy. You're you know, we have Todd Zinzer.
We call him Citizen Watchdog, that's his podcast. You're a

on the what I always refer to jokingly as shenanigans,
(00:36):
but sort of the you know, question marks going on

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Maybe that's what Bobby, who calls in the program refers to.
He just he randomly throws that collective bargaining agreements, and
I'm quite often I'm like puzzled over what prompted that.
Maybe that's exactly.

building this newspaper for a while now. It actually launched
maybe two months ago. But the idea was we called
it to sin say Exchange, because it's an exchange of ideas.
It's an exchange of everybody's ideas, and I wanted to
bring people like Todd and Todd's actually written for it
and bring those folks in bring those voices in that
don't feel heard and aren't getting op eds printed in
(05:17):
local newspapers.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And nobody provides more supportive documentation or implement or information
than a guy like Todd Zenzer. He's an important voice.
Yes he has an opinion about it, But here are
the documents which gave rise to my commentary or gave
rise to my criticism about the mayor or council or
(05:39):
what's going on behind the scenes or Chryl Long. It's like, oh,
you're just some bright wing concern. No, no, here, here
is the reason why I'm making this criticism. They haven't
followed food with paperwork, they haven't followed through with where
the money went. Fill in the bike. Why didn't they
buy the trucks we needed to do snow removal? I mean,
he looks into that and then provides, you know, the
credibility for it. Yeah, nobody's listening to him.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, And you don't want to feel like you're being
bullied by Plumb Street, right, Yeah. And a lot of
times those news organizations, you know, they're either ideologically ideologically
tied to what's going on at Plum Street, or they're
just afraid to challenge what's going on down there. Guys
like Todd are not afraid, No, not at all. Smitherman
not afraid, right, And those two podcasts are actually streaming
(06:23):
on our home page of the website.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
The Cincinnati Exchange dot com. I appreciate you posting my
interview with Brian James from this morning, as well as
The Big Picture with Jack Adaan and yesterday. Some of
those podcasts will link right there. Your information might be
linked as well, but I encourage you to bookmark at
the Cincinnati Exchange dot com. We'll bring out them back
and we'll talk a little bit more coming up. After
I mentioned whom I mentioned now Oder exit od O
(06:46):
r XIT notation seven about GARC DE talk station. I'm
very happy Thursday, do you call it Friday Eve. We're
gonna hear from Jay Ratlifft bottom of the next hour,
after we hear from Congressman David Taylor. Great day to
talk with the congressman, and of course always a great
time talking with Adam Kaylor. And you can find The
Cincinnati Exchange, which is his online newspaper, and it is
(07:08):
in a newspaper style format. The articles are there, the
links are there. The Cincinnati exchange dot com and obviously,
as you pointed out, the impetus behind this to provide
actual reporting.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah, actual reporting, right, people like Todd you know. I mean,
we've got a bunch of people. You go to our
bout page and you'll see everybody that contributes to the paper.
I mean, I even got my my personal trainer looped
in somehow, my buddy Josh Smith to write some health articles,
you know, calories in, calories out type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But we got a new food pyramid by the way, right,
I mean I go back to the four four three
two era back in the seventies, you know, and they
were really focusing on grains and and that's like the bottom.
They treat grains and bread and things of that nature,
like carbohydrates like they used to treat sugar.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. And before the break, we were
just talking about food. We're talking about healthy habits and
things that you've been doing, things that I do. And
it's really important to have that. But you know, it's
also important when you're talking about the news to tell
the truth, amen, and to try to get out here
and have that other perspective. And the problem is is
so the city of Cincinnatis. You could see in Corey's
(08:19):
campaign eighty twenty, which was surprising to me. But that's
the city. When you go across the river, you get
out into the suburbs, you get up into Butler Warren County,
those places are still served by Cincinnati media.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yes, they are so those people.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
And you know when I was running, I was running
for Hamblin County. So go out in different parts of
Hamilton County and you talk to these folks and they're
the ones who are like, I'm canceling my subscription to this.
I don't want to read this anymore. I don't feel like,
you know, my perspective or what I see, how I
see the world is portrayed in this particular news So
(08:57):
there's an audience there that isn't and serve correct by
the current media outside of like your your your podcast,
this show. You know some I'd say, Trisha Mackie, she's
doing a great job, but there's some people out here
that just say, look, I don't feel like I want
to read this thing anymore because you know, it's just
(09:17):
not serving me. So there's an opportunity there for another
news group to come in here that wants to tell
the truth that wants to bring in local voices instead
of local staff. So I want to bring these people in,
mix it up a little bit and have these stories
told from the people's perspective.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, and you'll, of course you're inviting people to offer content,
it sounds like to me. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean
people can come in. It's like writing a letter to
the editor. You may get it published in the Enquiry.
You may not.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, that's I suppose that's a may or may not
with you as well. But if you've got some legitimate
point to make, if it's logical, it's reasonable, and it
presents your side of the ledger, go ahead and send
it into Adam over at the the since a change.
Maybe you'll actually see it in print and it might
get read by someone. That's right.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, And guys like Todd. You know, I trust Todd.
You know I've I've I've talked Todd so many times.
We were involved in the whole railroad sale thing. Uh,
you know, Todd knows what he's doing. I mean he does.
Former US Inspector General, and you know, dots his eyes,
crosses his t's and he's the type of guy I
want to I want to hear from and Tom Brickman.
I mean, who's better at talking about tax than Tom Brick?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So I mean you got guys like that that I've
met through my political experience. Uh, you know, people with
some of these organizations that are very concerned about what's
going on in the city. I mean, look at what
just happened. You had AFTAB come out after they promised
there wouldn't be any new taxes, you know, because of
the railroad. Yeah exactly, Yeah, George Bush all over again, right,
(10:54):
and Bush at least faced consequences for it. That's why
Aftab kept his powder dried till after he got elected.
And then he says, oh, by the way, I'm gonna
raise your income tax exactly all the name of public safety. Though, Adam,
this time, it's not equal housing or affordable housing or
some kind of nonsensical left wing program, it's republic safety.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Right where you've been on that topic for so long.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Well, they've been hating on the police.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
They have been, yes, ganging up on them with obviously
the intended result nobody wants to be a cop anymore,
or we are now struggling with it. One more with
Adam Keyler, followed by Congressman David Taylor after the top
of the Our News will continue in a moment here
at seven forty six right now fifty five KR City
Talk station, And another opportunity for me to remind you
that there is a the talk station seven fifty here
(11:39):
fifty five KR City Talk station, probably Eve again. Congressman
David Taylor after the top of the Our News with
Jay Ratliffe if our aviation expert at the bottom of
the next hour. In the meantime, Adam Keayler in studio.
And you really should, you really should bookmark and I
know regularly recommend websites of folks, But if you want local,
balanced information about what's going on, you feel like you're
not getting it from your local news outlets, maybe like
(12:01):
the Inquirer kind of rubs you the wrong way for
some reason, or you're reporting from Fox nineteen or five
or nine or twelve, the Cincinnati Exchange dot com. May
even get your own stuff putt it in there. I
know you've had some good donations, some good offerings, including
Corey Bowman just recently wrote an article Carea on crime
in the area. That's great, but moving away from that
(12:23):
sort of local element, and I don't want to take
the time away, but you and I just stumbled ssembled
upon something I brought up earlier this morning. I saw yesterday,
and this is an article right there on this sin
say exchange corporate home buying ban. Trump moves to block
institutional investors from buying up all these houses. We know
that's going on, and there are some regions of the
country where the city, the home ownership in the city
(12:44):
it's like maybe comprised of fifteen to twenty twenty five
percent of like a black Rock ownership.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh, black Rock owns a lot, hundreds of thousands of units,
all right.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The capitalist in me says, well, wait a second, this
is government interference. They are a buyer. It's an open market.
They should be free to buy. But the realist in
me knows that's making things very difficult for the regular
I want to buy a house homeowner, the American dream.
They've been priced out of the market because Blackrock shows
up with, you know, an extra hundred thousand dollars and
you can't compete with that. So I was struggling with
(13:14):
that reality. Donald Trump's trying to appeal to the populism.
And this is a remarkable I said this morning. It
sounds like an idea that came from democrats.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It totally does. Well, remember Trump used to be a Democrat.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That he is who whatever is.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Also he's also real estate guy, right, and he knows
what he's been hearing. I mean, you know, if I'm
a political advisor and I'm talking to him right now, say, look,
the vast majority of people want cheap houses versus love blackrock, right.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Right, overwhelmingly overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
But yeah, I mean I think I think it's it's
a little bit of overreach. I mean, the same thing
he did with the Intel, right. I mean, guys like
you and I, more libertarian type folks, yes, you know,
we see stuff like that. We're like, whoa, wait a minute,
government overreach, but in a different way, right yep. And
then you look at places like New York. I mean,
look what Mumdanie's doing.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Listeners, Adam's going to shed a light on something that
probably should frighten you. Go ahead, Adams.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, and this is the kind of thing I don't
think would get covered correctly here locally. But there's this
thing called the Kopa in New York, and what it
does is it doesn't necessarily seize property outright. The one
big thing we're scared of with communism, right and socialism,
eventually it leads to property seizure. Well, if you own property.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
The elimination of private property is the goal.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That's it, right. And then redistribution this is what they promise, right,
So it restricts who you can sell your property to.
And then it slows down the process. So you actually
have to offer your commercial property. Okay, So I own
a building in New York, YEP, I want to sell it.
I'm moving, YEP. I have to go to this entity
(14:50):
and say I'm selling my home. Give them it's the
right of first refusal, correct, exactly. And in America, you
want to sell your property as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
You think I live in America, I own proper in America.
I could sell it to whoever I want to sell
it to, not in the city of New York.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
So you have a buyer under that scenario and they
want to offer you, let's say a million dollars for
this property, you still must go to that entity and
give them the option of outbidding yep.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
And nonprofits tied to the government right, and the government
itself gets right a first refusal. You actually, even if
you've got a deal on the table with a buyer,
you have to offer your property up to one of
these nonprofits. And if it's in a great area, do
you think the city of New York, Mum Donnie is
going to find the money to give to a nonprofit
(15:36):
who's going to purchase your property?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And what is phase two or perhaps phase three, which
is the ultimate goal in this nonsense. The left wing organizations,
basically a conglomerate of all these organizations will collectively get together,
it becomes sort of the left wing black Rock's right
and buy up these properties because they have the right
of first refusal. And then what do they do with them?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh, they bring in a whole bunch of people that
vote the way they want them to vote, and they
stick them in these units. And next thing you know,
the city's flooded with democratic socialist.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, I think the fact that mom Dommy got elected
is already an illustration of the city has been flooded
with a democratics.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
So well, when a lack of effort by Republicans or
even by normal democrats, right, I mean, just moderate people
who just didn't come out to vote. Happened in Miami,
like less than twenty percent of the people came out
to vote. Miami, they have a Democrat mayor now right
after Mayor Suarez, who's, in my opinion, has done a
great job, but nobody's voted. And look at Cincinnati. I
(16:35):
know Forttle, California and Riverside are the only places in
Cincinnati the vote the vote to the right anymore, and
everybody else is hardcore blue.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
This is a permanent fixture now in the fifty five
KRCY Morning show studio is this map of the city
of Cincinnati. And when we have crime and bad things happen,
or neighborhoods want to go a different direction beyond Sincenay
City Council's ideas, I can quickly consult like oh to
eighty five to one hundred percent have to have provoll well,
that might explain something. It's all right, is right there,
(17:05):
that's right. Appreciate Joe Strecker and what he does every day.
Adam Keller, appreciate what you do. And again to my listeners,
check it out book market, the Cincinnati Exchange dot com.
And obviously there's a welcome opportunity for you to offer
some news items you might want to see there. I
don't know who makes the editorial decisions over there. Perhaps
it's you, Adam, but.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's right right now, it's me. But we just hired
a growth marketer and we're hiring some more people. So yeah,
things rocking and rolling. We got our writers are our
full time like kind of staff writer. But yeah, yeah,
making the decisions. But yeah, and you can also go
to cincy x ci n c y x dot com
so you don't have to type in the whole Cincinnati exchange. Yeah,
so you can just type in cinci x dot com
and get there. But yeah, I mean, I'd love to
(17:45):
hear from people in the suburbs especially. I mean, I've
always been in the city myself, so a lot of
the people I know are here in the city. But
I'd love to hear from the people in the suburbs.
I mean, you know, the Northeast Republican Women's Club folks
from that organization, great organization. I'd love to hear some
of the their voices. Uh, you know, people on the
on the Deep West Side who who don't feel like
they're they're being heard by by local news organizations like
(18:07):
let's get out in the in the suburbs, let's get
over in the northern Kentucky and let's hear what everybody
has to say.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Adam, I can't think you know. If I love the idea,
I love how it's working. The right there. It's easy
to get to since the x dot com it Joe's
already edited to my blog page Vity five, casey dot com,
the link to the uh the online paper. Adam Taylor,
by all the success in the world to you and
keep up the great work you are doing on behalf
of the residents of the area. And that's a great thing.
That's what we're doing, filling that gap.
