55KRC Friday Show - Tech Friday, Brigham McCown, Cong Taylor, Jack Windsor

Described as the world's smartest artificial intelligence followed by the public trust in artificial intelligence is apparently declining a lot of articles out there to give you a basis for declining trust in AI. And finally, FaceTime will now be sending a warning if it detects nudity. All right, Briga McCowan Charge Conversations and he'll be in studio Love with him and Brigham in studio talk about energy policy. Charged Conversations his podcast. You got to check that one out.

It's brilliant. He is Hudson Institute. Brigha mccollwin stops in to talk about his conference in Europe that he just returned from, and what the hell is going on in Europe regarding energy policy. It's on an article the other day about how Germany has just really cut its throat with energy policy. Also, they have a very very very big problem with illegal well it's not illegal immigration in Europe. They have open borders, but they don't stop anybody from

coming in. So they're overwhelmed with immigration. And of course the more people you have, the more energy you need. Same thing we have going on here with our housing problems. The more illegal immigrants that came into our country, the bigger the strain on the housing market. People got to sleep somewhere, driving rents up across the country. So Briga mccollin seven oh five will get him for an hour, followed by Congressman David Taylor. David Taylor returns talking about

the big, big, beautiful, big beautiful broad Blood Bill. I just really disdain that name, just don't like it. But what's in it that's good? A lot of people complaining about what's in it that's bad, or at least that they perceive to be bad. David Taylor will talk about what's in the bill that's really good, followed by Jack wins Or the return of Jack wins Or, editor in chief of the Ion Press Network. Veto overrides on budget.

That's what we just talked about the other day, Americans for Prosperity at Donovan and Neil talking about their efforts and the return of our elected officials to talk about overriding Governor de Wines Veto of the property tax relief provisions. Know why he had a goal going after those. They really didn't do a whole lot, but it was a baby step in the direction of providing homeowners and property uners with some measure of relief against the outrageous increases

in property taxes. Something has to be done, but Governor de Wine wasn't allowing that to happen. So probably be overridden. Let's hope they will. Plus, small business owners in Ohio are struggling to fill jobs. Jack will talk about that and what a shame, and you know, on the heels of the big beautiful bill requiring a work requirement. Look, apparently small business owners have jobs that need to be filled.

If you're on the public dole. And you're a working age individual without children, young children anyway, and you are capable. You are not disabled, you're not a mom with babies or anything like that. Why aren't you participating? Look twenty hours, well maybe career development, twenty hours of community service, whatever. Get out there and start participating. That's the point of it. You're getting other people out here in the tax paying

world to feed, clothes, shelter and house you. If you're in you fall within a category where you are otherwise just objectively capable of working. Shouldn't you at least lift a finger to move in that direction? That's the point. And the social welfare safety net was usually designed to provide you with a leg up during hard and difficult times in order to get you off of the social welfare safety net temporary as temporary as it can be.

It's there for you in times of trouble. And then you get out of trouble and here we are offering you all kinds of opportunities to get you out of that kind of trouble. There's job training and programs out there. There's a multitude of social services out there to help you achieve the goal of independence or at least moving toward that direction. And this is not a period of time in our economy where there are no jobs out there.

There are jobs, so the timing couldn't be better for the wark obligation from my perspective, and most notably, I will emphasize an underscore as I do all the time, trades, Lord Almighty, there's so many opportunities in the trades. So there's your lineup for this morning. Pause as they take a quick drink of coffee to try to wake me up. Five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty eight hundred and eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on AT

and T Funds. I'm not quite sure where to start this morning, but let's start locally, since you know, we had a week that was dominated by all the crime in the in the greater Cincinnati area, most notably in

downtown Cincinnati. Of course, on the heels of the death of Patrick Herringer, Sarah Herringer is still outspoken about the city stepping up to the playton doing something to protect the citizenry from the violence that is going on in the streets, and so she had a word or two to say on the heels of the public safety meeting that the mayor and police Chief Thiji and the city manager held the other day, claiming that crime is actually down.

Sarah disagrees with that, and she issued yet another public statement along those lines. But let me start with this one because she addresses it and something that I brought up the other day. I'm bringing up all the time. You talk with the police, you talk with the mayor, old candidate, you talk with the candidates running for city council. They all want to address crime. But the problem seems

to be judges. How do you deal with the judges who refuse to move forward with cases against most notably juveniles. Juveniles are out there committing all kinds of crimes, quite often with firearms, attacking police officers, as we saw with the Red, White and Blue ash festival that happened where we had all those four hundred or so teenagers running amok, shooting fireworks at people, including police officers. Got to be

held accountable. But as we've learned from the police, when you arrest the child for violating curfew, we're committing these types of acts. Once you get in front of a judge, the judge quite often just dismissed the charge outright, and we had that happen just the other day, so we had prosecutors charging the Hamilton County Prosecutors. A thirteen year old who was arrested at that festival July fourth, this after police said he set off fireworks in the crowd.

Body camera footage shows the red firework going up in the air. Multiple police officers ran to the area where it came from reports throughout the night of young people doing this. Some people thought it was gunfired, some people called nine to one one. After the event ended, police work to clear Summitt part. Police chased after the team who let that firework off. He was running away along with several others. Officers took the thirteen year old to

the ground put in handcuffs. Blue Ash Police reported one officer suffered a burn to the leg caused by the firework. Of the six people arrested in connection with the disturbance, the thirteen year old faced the most serious charges, disorderly conduct inducing panic and a felony count of assault on a police officer. Showed up before Magistrate Tracy Hill in the Hamilton County Juvenile Court. Magistrate Hill did i dismissed the assault on a police officer charge and the disorderly

conduct charge for what she said was lack of probable cause. Now, fortunately the prosecutor's officer didn't take it lying down. They have filed an objection to that decision. According to the Hemmon County prosecutors are with the magistrate determined the probable cause was insufficient based off of a review of items excuse me, outside the charging document. The state presented a validly attested to complaint that satisfies all elements of the

charge defenses, including assault on the police officer. Probable cause at the initial plea is not probable cause to proceed, but probable cause to hold. Now, for his part, the teen's lawyers said the juvenile court rules dictate the magistrates considered the complaint but also accompanying documents. He said that documentation did not indicate the intentionality of the act. So apparently one of the elements of the charge on the assaulting an officer is that you did it with intent

to assault the officer. These are things that the prosetitution is going to have to prove a trial. But if you got the evidence, the video footage of the juveniles shooting the firework off and maybe the firework hitting the police officer intent can be established down the road. And that's the argument from the prosecutor's office. So but you see right here, this is judicial activism in the sense

they won't allow it to proceed. So Sarah Herringer writes on Facebook just the other day and she addresses this, not that specific case, but the problem generally. She wrote, today's city leaders stood before canvas Is just two days ago and offered a polished narrative. Crime is done. We've had a good first week of July. Shootings are down

seventeen percent year to date. As someone living in the intersection of violent crime, public figure and institutional silence, I no longer had the luxury of pretending this is acceptable. This is what happens when public safety is reduced to a press release. Let's correct the record while they celebrate one data point, here's what they omitted. Violent crimes up eleven to seventeen percent compared to last year. Homicides are up one hundred and twenty five percent in the past

twenty eight days. Over one thousand property crimes recorded in the last month two hundred and fifty plus auto thefts two hundred and fifty five vehicle break INDs and at

least thirty four stolen firearms that's been widely reported. I might interject juvenile suspects responsible for crimes including rape, murder, and aggravated assault are routinely charged as miners and released back into the public, repeat violent offenders of being returned to the streets by judges with no public accountability, and not to mention, I no mention of this from the

city leadership. Most notable omission I might interject as well, and all this has occurred within the backdrop of what the mayor and police chief described as a good week. Let's look at that good week more closely. July first through ninth a week of chaos, not progress. July first, six people shot, one killed in separate incidents across the city before sunrise. Red White and Blue ash. July fourth, crowd of four hundred plus juveniles insided panic with fireworks,

trampling families and children. One officer burned, Four juveniles and two adults were arrested for inciting panic and assaulting officers. July fourth through seventh, at least three separate shootings accurred, including a killing of a fourteen year old Taekwon Jones, Alexander and Avondale, and a mass shooting near the banks that hospitalized three people. July fifth, four more overnight shootings and wanted Hills, Wooden Hills, Westwood and over the Rhine,

resulting in additional injuries and fatalities. These happened mere hours after the new street Crimes task Force was announced. Block party blocked by ambulance access that was the one in Cliffe and the police showed up. They were assaulted by the crowd. Dozens of arrests, hospitalizations, and neighborhood lockdowns, all in the span of nine days. This is what leadership now defines as progress. My husband wasn't shot. He was stabbed to death in our home. He died fighting off

a man who was attacking me. The man brought a ten inch blade and had every up oportunity to be stopped before even step footing on our property. He was known to law enforcement. He was a wall. He was not apprehended. Patrick, her husband bled out in our hallway because the system, the same one now asking for applause, did nothing. He died a hero. The system died a coward.

Where is the pressure on judges, she asks City leadership is quick to promote drones, task force and disruption tactics, but there's no mention of the judges responsible for returning violent offenders to the street. There is no public accountability when juveniles with extensive records are released after committing crimes that irreversibly damage families. Why are city leaders silent about the judiciary? Why is there no outrage when justice fails

at the point of release. Why isn't the same intensity used to confront the revolving door of court appointed violence or court approved violence. Because it's easier to manage perception than it is to confront power. They've reduced public safety to fit a headline. Public safety is not a single statistic or a drone in the sky. It's not a photo op with officers or a well let press conference.

It's whether people feel safe in their homes, at parks, at public events, and whether the system protects them before something happens, not after. We're watching Now isn't leadership, it's crisis management posing as competence. This isn't the first time public officials have tried to control the story rather than confront the truth. But if we let it happen again, It won't just cost public trust, it will cost more lives.

We're not just fortifying safety, we're fortifying justice. Every time city leader's dodge responsibility, another family carries the weight of their silence, and we will not carry it quietly. Sarah Herringer, she hit the nail on the head on that one, didn't she Again, just part of the component of the deafening silence from our administration. Five eighteen fifty five care City talk station phone calls are welcome. Got more to talk and I'll be right back after these freefords fifty.

you remember him, don't you come. It's widely reported he spent four hundred and thirty thousand dollars in state taxpayer money to prepare for a House congressional hearing probe into the governor's sanctuary city policies simple questions on sanctuary city right.

According to the Star Tribune in Minnesota, they got documents showing that Walt's office can contracted with some law firm named cairned el Grades, described as high profile to prepare for the governor's hearing in front of the House Oversight Committee, which dealt with questions about his another Blue state governor's

sanctuary city policies, simple enough right. In one month May, Waltz incurred legal fees of about two hundred and thirty two thousand dollars, and as they analyze that that works out to a rate of about five hundred and sixteen dollars per legal hour, worked of the illustration of how

crazy it is to retain outside council. According to the report Cano Gates, this law firm worked with Waltz's office between April tenth and and the day of the June twelfth hearing, costing taxpayers a total of four hundred and

thirty thousand dollars for the preparation work. One of the Minnesota GOP report as Jim Nash said, half a million dollars of taxpayer money to prepare the governor to go to his old stomping grounds, which he was an elected officially he's been there, seems exorbitant particulars since the ag for the State of Minnesota was in Congress with Waltz at the same time, and the two of them certainly could have figured out how to do what they were

needing to do, in other words, just answer questions. One other representative, Harry Niska, Tim Walt's been twelve years in Congress. He knows that those hearing rooms inside and out, and he certainly knows how to conduct himself in that type of setting. So what did the governor field that need to spend foreign in thirty thousand dollars a taxpayer money

on private firm to prepare for this hearing? There appears to be no legitimate legal interests of the state racking up nearly half a million dollars what amount so pr consulting as he tries to lay the groundwork for a presidential campaign that's going absolutely nowhere. He described as unconscionable to make hard working Minnesota taxpayers pay for the governor's personal national political aspirations be that as it may, ask yourself this question, why would the governor of a state

who embraces firmly embrace his sanctuary city policies? Why is it that he would need help preparing to answer questions? Do you know the answer to the question? Maybe you don't know the answer, you said, I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to the question. I don't recall. Are you in favor of sanctuary city policies? Yes or no? Yes, I am How difficult is that you gotta spend an entire month and almost half a million dollars to help anticipate what could or could not be asked and how

he might answer them. Shouldn't this be information that is right at the forefront of his melon, or maybe he's trying to hide something.

Minnesota taxpayer's a dime. If Tim waltss goes in and answers questions, honestly, why does one need legal preparation for that. He's not facing an indictment or some criminal charge. He doesn't have to worry about asserting his right to Fifth Amendment right to be free of incriminating oneself. It's simple questions about sanctuary city policies. Not the first governor who's

done this. Boston Mayor Michelle wou said earlier this year after attending and hearing in the nation's capital, she expected to pay about six hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the law firm that helped her prepare Denver, the city quarter of a million dollars for outside legal counselor earlier this year to prepare their mayor Mike Johnson for congressional hearing. Mean, just answer the question, Just answer the question. I need to sit down with a lawyer to know the answer

to a question. If I'm being honest to my constituents on a regular basis, if I can support my policies if I can sport my philosophies. Something tells me he couldn't, which is why I needed half a million dollars almost of legal assistance. By twenty seven, Ron, I see you there. I will be more than happy to take your call. Just got to pause for a moment for these brief words. It'll be right back. Fifty five KRC the talk station an.

the kids. I mean it's you shake your head sometimes.

it was you know, overwhelming and all that. But after a couple of times, you know, Okay, I know where I'm going at least you know, this is Minneapolis just has a whole different feel to it. And I don't know if it's because of the the area that I was at or whatever, but I mean it is it is strange up there. I don't I don't know what's going on. And I know I hear about all the politics and not just at the state level, but the

city level. And here in Minneapolis, it's it's weird and and and I know, I know it has a lot to do with with who's running the show up there, based on the policies that I'm hearing coming out of there. And and you know, we in Cincinnati, we're not too far behind, uh unfortunately, And it's it's scary, and we gotta, we got to take this stuff seriously because there people are literally trying to change our country into another country.

They don't like our our freedom that we have, and they don't like the way we allow our citizens while under the rule of law you have the freedom to do things and and behave a certain way, and and women can do things and have a have a voice. So they don't like that. They don't want that going on, you know, and it's crazy. We got we gotta be careful and make sure that doesn't happen. And really, beyond me, I keep saying it, the only way to make sure

I've done happen is don't vote Democrat. Have a great weekend.

You've got an app for your We do lag it or not have at least one list listener regularly in on this topic. Looking forward to five point forty Little John Fisherman JEPHG. You're out there. Good morning to you all right, looking like a typical Friday morning stack and stupid. Although we're not starting in Florida, we do have a stack filled with bunch of naked

people doing stupid stuff. So let's start in Halle County, Georgia, where a Buford man facing charges FWCA he stripped naked and knocked another man out using a freezer. Happened at Lake Lanier. Forty two year old Logan Nicholas Young arrested

at his houseboat. Officials with the Hall County Sheriff's Office say the incident happened at a boat slip and Landier Islands Parkway on July Sex that night of us get to say, Young, fifty nine year old and a fifty nine year old victim, as well as two women, were on the victim's boat. Some point, Young reportedly took off all of his clothes in front of the other three people, leading to an argument in which officials say he punched the man in the chest and then left the vessel.

Victim and the two women thought that Young had gone to his own boat, so they tried to leave the dock, and that's when Young allegedly threw a deep freezer at the man, hitting him in the head and knocking him unconscious and into the lake. Fortunately, the man was able to get back onto shore. Official see he had a large laceration on his head, but did refuse treatment, and deputies went to Young's house boat to speak with him.

They say he silenced his phone, turned off his boat lights, and hours later the deputies obtained at a restaurant and found Young hiding under a bed in the boat. Isn't hiding on a boat sort of an exercise of futility. Not a whole lot of surface area there to cover, not a whole lot of places you could possibly hide anyway,

it's doing it. Yeah, things because they're idiots. Booked into the Hall County Jail, released the following afternoon after posting a bond of more than thirteen thousand dollars, facing charges simple battery, battery, public indecency in three counts of obstruction of an officer, all misdemeanors, and no explanation as to why he felt compelled to strip naked in front of those fellow voters. Now we go to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

As a tradition, aymen brother residents of a Fort Lauderdale home and had to call police after a naked guy went for a swim in their pool and then refused to get out. Fort Lauderdale police responded to the residents on Tenth Avenue after the homeowner said the man appeared in the pool in his birthday suit and refused to leave. Officers forced to pull the naked guy out of the pool. Javier Caverro, I guess the homeowner. It was like a police surrounding him. He was right in the middle of

the pool, acting weird as a tradition, oh honor. Cavero said. The man did get out momentarily before jumping back in. He said the naked guy even splashed water at the officers. He was throwing water at them. I mean, the police were very patient. Why are you doing that? Officers first tries, we may find out, first tried to speak with a guy to convince him to leave the pool, and then even offered him a soda. At one point, following some failed attempts to convince him out of the pool on

his own, officers grabbed him and pulled him out. According to Cavero, they were waiting him out because, you know, they didn't want to pursue him. They couldn't taze him he's in the pool already and spring him with mace. He could have had a bad reaction start drowning, so they just waited it out. He said. It took officers nearly four hours, along with some improvised attempts to use a pool skimmer and a hose to wrangle the guy

out of the pool. Vara said the officers shared in the one of the kind of experiences that I asked some police officers if you guys ever encountered someone in middle of a pool. They said never, But they finally finally got him out of that eight a clock. Once he was removed from the pool, authorities took him to be medically evaluated. I thought that was going to be a conclusion that drugs were indeed a factor, and I'm

going to go with that. Not normally a gambling kind of guy, but I think it's a pretty safe bet. More stupid coming up. You can still feel free to call and take the calls. But beyond that, it's another stack of typical Friday stupid. And beyond that, how about this. Find a place to sanctuary, find a place to reflect, find a place to honor life on sacred ground. That place is Gay to Heaven Catholic Cemetery, right there on

Montgomery Roads. I drive by it every day. As I like to point out, it is absolutely beautiful, but life is honored there and celebrated at every phase, whether through birth, life, milestones passing into eternal life. They recognize and revere the sacredness of every phase of the human journey. So it's a peaceful place, landscape, gorges, walking pans, and an ideal

place for prayer, reflection and remembrance. So their goal is a comforting experience for all visitors, and everyone's invited to enjoy the beautiful landscaped experience there and maybe take a moment to exhale and appreciate the finer things in life or reflect on the beauty of life and how sacred it is. That's what it's all about. So check them out online. Visit Gateofheaven dot org to learn more. That's gateof Heaven dot org.

is stupid. Look more naked people, this one naked person in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where a man's been arrested after causing a disturbance in a Hopkinsville neighborhood while not wearing any clothes. Hopkinsville Police Department arrest report reflects they responded to a disturbance seventeen hundred block South Campbell Street three o'clock in the morning on July eighth. Officers advised that a naked

guy was banging on the door of a residents. The suspect, thirty three year old Christopher Price, was located with his genitals exposed, wearing only socks on his feet, which is a funny statement in the reporting. I guess you could wear socks elsewhere, Joe was it weren't the Red Hot Chili Peppers famous for that?

they take drugs, do they? Now go to Georgia, where a forty six year old woman was taken into custody after a lengthy SWAT stand off at her Powder Or Springs home, where witnesses say she appeared nude in a window and allegedly assaulted a teenager early in the day.

According to the Cobb County Police, they showed up at the fifty four hunred block of Stirrup Way, got a call about a woman identified police as Nicole Simpson, not her who had active orange for aggravated assault and Paulding County officers later requested assistance from the SWAT you know. When she refused to surrender, officers showed up confronted her, confirmed her outstanding warrant. She refused to leave the house, prompting the use of a flashbang device believed to have

been deployed through the bathroom window. Witnesses described as neighborhood being flooded with police cars. Sixteen year old Nalali aka Noni Domingas as she was walking into the neighborhood when Simpson began shouting at her from the window. She said she started screaming things like oh I voted for Trump, adding she was kind of blocking me from going anywhere.

Diminga says she fled to a friend's home where surveillance studio captured Simpson allegedly trying to hit her with a rock and slamming a gate on her, leaving marks on her arm. According to Minga, she tried continually knocking at my friend's door trying to get in. She just would not get out of the house, and all she had to do was surrender, said the neighbor, and then a big boom. The flash bang video shows officers using non lethal rounds to subdue Simpson. Witnesses said she finally exited

the home while still unclothed. One witness said she was spy the upstairs windows, sticking up middle fingers. Just naked female subject taking into cestdy without injury or significant incident, according to the Cobb County Police, taken to the Cobb County Jail, expected to face additional charges beyond the original aggravated assault warrant, no additional details, and no mention of her bizarre behavior or why bizarre way I'm gonna go with that one as well. Oh man, how much can

I comment about the use of illegal drugs? Five and five at five KCY detalk station. You got more to talk about between top and the bottom of the Hour and the bottom of the ear of course, Tech Freddie but Dave Hatter, Fast Forward seven o five Hudson Institute, Brigha mcow and Charged Connections or Conversations podcast. He just got back from a conference in Europe, and we're gonna find out what in the hell is going on in

Europe regarding energy policy. Sort of a cautionary tale for us here in America.

to be sending warnings if it detects nudity. We'll get that at the bottom of the hour. Brigham McCowan one hour from now seven oh five Hudson Institutes Charged Conversations podcast moderator Brigham knows all there is to know about

energy policy. Just got back from a conference in Europe on that, and we'll be finding out what the hell is going on in Europe regarding energy policy, and as I suspect, although I don't know, it's going to be one big, long discussion of cautionary tales of what's going on in Europe and why we shouldn't go down that stupid path cutting our throats. Congressman David Taylor at eight oh five on the Big Beautiful Bill and what things are good in the bill. We have identified some of

the bad things. We can learn a little bit about some of the good things. Jack wins Or, editor in chief Ohio Press Network, returns to talk about overriding the Governor de Wines Vetos in the budget, which Donovan and Neil from Americans for Prosperity talked about earlier this week. You can podcast that at fifty five Carose dot com also talking about how small business owners in Ohio are

struggling to fill jobs. And as I pointed out in the last hour, thinking in advance of the conversation with Jack, I mean a good timing. We got a new work requirement for able bodied adults that have to work twenty hours a week, or community service twenty hours a week, business training, education training, something that moves you away from the idea of being hooked up to the Biblical court of government, freedom, liberty, self determination, all these beautiful concepts

that made America great. Well join in the fund. I hate that it takes government to impose a twenty hour a week obligation on folks who are receiving public assistance. But if you can work, why not take advantage of your abilities, hone those skills and put them to your own interest, in their own advantage. So that'll be with Jack Windsor at eight thirty five one three, seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk go with Ton five fifty on AT and T

phones and No Need to Die. Was going to talk about the judge placing the block on birthright citizenship order. But you heard about that top of the Hour news. Fundamentally, I know the Supreme Court is paired back District Court's ability to issue nationwide injunctions. They did carve out a very critical important step there, though, and that is class certification.

You have a class action lawsuit and it covers people all over the United States, then you can qual to have perhaps a nationwide injunction once you certified a class. And in this particular case, the judge certified a class for all those impacted, with plaintiffs being a pregnant woman who gave birth in April and the father of a baby born in March, representing people in similarly situated circumstances.

So I honestly think that probably will pass muster in terms of the class certification, but there are legal challenges that can be made to that. But moving away from that, there was an opinion piece out of Oklahoma, and I don't need to dive on into it, but Oklahoma has just ended woke in doctrination as students. Oklahoma State Department of Education, apparently working with peger U, they developed an assessment for teachers that are relocating from states that I

guess have progressive education policies. So you got a California teacher coming into the state of Oklahoma and wanting to teach there. This applies to them. The new assessment of aighwates these new educators on three specific topics. Knowledge of the US Constitution, understanding of American exceptionalism, and a grasp of fundamental biological differences between boys and girls. So we're going to quiz you, how are you how do you

feel about the following subject matters? They just basic messages or Oklahoma schools are not going to be pushing a woke agenda like California, New York That according to the superintendent. Superintendent. Now, the reason I bring this up is because what was revealed in the reporting on this. Just this week, the largest teachers union in the nation, National Education Association, held its annual convention. These are the teachers unions we talk

about all the time. What are they all about? Well, specifically, business item included on their agenda quote to defend against President Donald Trump's in race of fascism by using the term fascism in any a material. So you're going to start seeing this rolled out. The ANYA stuff is going to be talking about fascism fascism, which is a sorry state of the members of the National Education Association that they don't have a firm, clear understanding what the definition

of fascism is. Just by saying Trump's a fascists doesn't make it definitionally accurate. You morons, read the definition of fascism, thank you very much, and then decide who's more of a fascist, the socialists who want to run our country and how to and dictate the terms and conditions of your life. What car you can drive, what dishwasher you can buy, what refrigerator you can own, on and on

and on and on and on. That's dictatorial, top down management, micromanagement of our lives, including the micromanagement of many businesses every single day. There's your problem, folks, State control of the means of production, fascism. That's not what the Trump administration is all about. Look, they're trying to eradicate multiple rules and regulations. They're getting rid of a giant bureaucracy. They're getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse in government.

This is not what fascists do. But nonetheless they're going to be in their materials. Any a is going to continue to refer as Trump as a fascist fine, just setting you up for an opportunity to make fun of

them and their ignorance. Also to quote, oppose any move to eliminate the US Department of Education as an illegal, anti democratic, and racist attempt to destroy public education and privatize the interests of billionaires, or perhaps to prevent woke ideology from being shoved down the throats of our young people.

To defend birthrights, citizenship, and oppose the attempt to revert to pre civil rights movement Jim Crow legal concepts of states rights in order to deny citizenship to the children of immigrants, and to support student efforts to organize against ice raids and deportations. What does that have to do with public education, reading, writing, and arithmetic. Nothing. They're engaging

in political activism. They are telling the National Education Association members, the teachers there, who probably are in front of your children in the classroom today, to engage in political activism. Now, your family may feel differently than the NEA on how we should approach illegal immigrants, ice raids, and all these

other legal concepts or political concepts. You're entitled to have your own rights and freedoms along those lines, you're entitled to make your own political decisions, and here they are using the public education system as a mechanism to indoctrinate your children against the policies of the Trump administration, which policies were voted by a majority of the people in the United States under what we call representative leadership and democracy.

Here they also committed to sending out a quote know your rights close quote documents so teachers can work around the Supreme Court ruling allowing parents to opt out their children out of gender and doctrination, so depriving you, the parent, of a right to know about these things. Know your rights, here's how you do a workaround. That's what you want

the NEA to be focusing on. Also said it would hold quote speak up, speak out, close quote LGBTQ plus conferences, and it pledged not to quote, use, endorse, or publicize any materials from the Anti Defamation League, which is an organization founded to fight at my anti semitism. So you don't want concepts of anti Semitism to be discussed. You don't want to talk about the horrors of anti semitism,

anti semitism. You don't want to look at the horrors of the Nazi regime and the extermination of millions of Jewish people, and how that kind of concept still is alive and well these days in the anti Israel protest going on all across various college campuses and elsewhere in this country. No, no, no, we can't have any of that.

And as the op ed author writes, and I give you credit, is there, It's Kelly, It's in the Washington Times, sort of ask this rhetorical question, is it any wonder why this year's National Assessment of Educational Progress showed that seventy percent of eighth graders were below proficient in reading, seventy two percent were below proficient in math, Why patriotism among Gen z has reached a record low, or why forty five percent of Americans age eighteen to twenty four

agree that socialism is the ideal economic system for the United States. Well, if you aren't having an informed debate about the well evils of socialism and the deprivation of rights that socialism brings about and the economic calamity that socialism brings about, you're not going to have children who embrace the idea of freedom and liberty and an open, free market capitalist system where competition creates better products, goods and services. No, we don't want to talk about that.

I just find that this is part of their jenda out loud stated written down in the minutes for adoption at the National Education Association's annual meeting Scary five sixteen fifty five care seat the talk station. Everybody needs a great dentist, and you know, embrace dentistry. Embrace going to the dentist. I mean some people just don't like it.

get tech Friday's Dave Hatter love that segment. Further to education and announcement, yesterday, Department of Education said it will be ending taxpayer subsidization of career, technical and adult education programs for illegal immigrants, which under the terms of the legislation creating the program that makes these funds available for citizens, they're not qualified to receive it in the first instance.

What happened will the Clint administration happened They reinterpreted the law to allow illegal immigrants to access federal funds for these education programs in violation of the act, which is the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act p RAW. Education Department's new interpretive rules now makes it clear that illegal immigrants do not have access to pelgrants as well

as student loans. According to Secretary of Education Secretary or Linda McMahon, post secondary education programs funded by the federal government should benefit American citizens, not illegal aliens. Under President Trump's leadership, hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliments aliens to participate in our career, technical,

or adult education programs or activities. The Department will ensure the taxpayer funds are reserved for citizens and individuals who have entered our country through legal means who meet federal eligibility criteria. Well, what a great opportunity for all those

folks now with the work requirement for the getting Medicaid. Look, you've got opportunities with this PRWRA program to get education opportunities fulfilled, eating your twenty hour per week standards and also sending you on the direction of freedom and independence that can be brought about only through work. Now, this act limits eligibility for federal public benefits to US citizens permanent residents in certain categories of what they call qualified aliens.

But the Clinton administration issued a what they call a dear colleague letter this back in nineteen ninety seven that exempted this career, technical and adult education programs from the eprwroa quote. In doing so, they said it relea is Yesterday the Department's interpretation mischaracterized the law by creating artificial distinction between federal benefit programs based upon the method of assistance. Congress made no such distinctions in this act. Fairly going

to start enforcing this August ninth. Why it's pushed off till then, I guess they need to get their ducks in a row to figure out how they're going to enforce it. But illegal aliens need not apply. They never should have been able to apply, I think, is the point here from the announcement from the Department of Education. So Dave Hatter, he'll be covered up next, talking tech, starting out with GROC four. What is GROC four? Is it the world's smartest artificial intelligence? And do you have

any trust in artificial intelligence? So some of the topics talk about Dave coming up next. First, A word for my friends at affordable Imaging services where you can save thousands, literally thousands of dollars on the scans that your doctor's going to order. Everybody's going to get one. I think it's safe to say you will get at some point in your life an echo cardigram and MRI, a CT scanner, an ultrasound unless you're lucky I suppose, or unless you're

hiding your head in the sand, that's your prerogative. But if your doctor orders one, your doctor's going to want to send you to the hospital imaging department because the hospital system probably owns your physicians practice and they want to keep the money in the house. And with hospitals it's fat bank thousands and thousands of dollars for any one of these services. You can go to affordable imaging

services and never pay over four figures. In fact, I think the most expensive is eight hundred dollars for an echo cardogram with an enhancement that it comes with the board certified radiologists report. Hospitals tend to bill you separately for the radiologists report, which your doctor needs. CT scans just got one fairly recently. There I've had multiple images, including on MRI, same equipment hospitals use. Medical professionals been

operating this equipment for decades. They know exactly what they're doing. And the report included it was six hundred dollars, whereas a hospital could have charged me five thousand, I paid six hundred because I had a contrast, it's only four fifty for a CT scan without plus they can get you right in. You may have a long wait time

at a hospital. You have a right when it comes to a choice when it comes to medical care, So exercise the right five one three seven, five three eight thousand, five one three seven five three eight thousand Online it's affordable medimaging dot com fifty five KRC six thirty fifty five kr CD talk station. It's that time every Friday.

And thank God for him, Dave had it from Interest i T. Comes on the program to warn us and give us great information about the risks, hazards and the upsides of the Internet and all things related to tech. Dave a hatter, welcome back, and thanks to your company Interest i T for sponsoring the segment. It's always wonderful having you on.

You know, is it producing something that is accurate and correct or is it producing something where it just made something up. I know we've talked in the past about lawyers using these yeah, and it just literally refers to cases that don't exist.

But then some of the other quick claims here if we were out of time, GROC is smarter than all graduate students and all disciplines. Simultaneously, Musk first declared a few minutes later he said GROC is postgraduate PhD level and everything, and then later also said better than PhD level. So again, this just rolled out this week. I honestly have not done much with it. I like Rock personally compared to the other platforms that are out there. If I'm going to use one of these for something, I'll

typically use Rock. I tend to like its answers better, and it also tends to add if you ask it to more humor to things, which isn't always appropriate obviously, but yeah, it's a lot of very major claims were made, you know, on the test too, and I forget what it's called. This is a different test than the touring test, which is trying to tell you if something is AI or not. There's this other test that you know is supposedly going to be able to determine if something as

artificial general intelligence. So general artificial general intelligence is the idea that it is as capable as a human being in any task, which is essentially what he's claiming here, right, the HD level and everything. And then there's artificial superintelligence, the idea that this would eventually get to a point where it's more capable than all human beings put together,

and at that point all bets are off. I know, Brian I mentioned before a book called super Intelligence by Nick Bostrom that it's about ten years old, but it kind of looks at all the different ways you might get there and the pros and cons of that. But you know, if this thing is really capable of everything that he's saying here, you know, it's a major major step forward in this direction, and you know, I'm not entirely certain that's good.

invited to participate. Let's go to EMORYFCU dot org and get registered, get your foursome together and come out Monday August eighteenth to four Bridges Country Club and enjoy a really wonderful round of golf benefiting the Cincinnati Children's Charitable Care Fund helping folks outs on life margins at since at Children's Hospital, which offers great services. So you get a fun filled day of golf, free of any guilt that might be associated with you going out and enjoy

yourself because you're supporting a worthy cause. Thanks to Emory for doing this every year. I will be speaking at the golf outing, setting the golfers out on their wonderful day. So register again Monday August eighteenth, EMORYFCU dot org for all the details.

they've all followed by the wayside in favor of like Firefox and Google Chrome and some of the big players. So that that's what's going on right now, right.

hellscape because of all of this. Right, if you know, if we don't get there first to whatever this is, and China gets there first, I mean, have you seen the rolling.

just too fast in general. And I think that's what this Defense won article, you know, they they had is declining public trust and as a national security problem. They say that, you know, based on various polling, trust in AI is going down despite.

into their work report higher levels of performance. Again, I want to be clear, I'm not suggesting that people don't go check this stuff out for themselves just to understand where it's at and how it can be useful, because it can absolutely be useful. My personal take on it is, you know, now, this rock thing, assuming it can really do everything they claim, you know, which would definitely make it the leader based on what I know about the

other products. You know, if you can really do all that, that's that's pretty advanced, but a lot of this stuff still has a lot of problems. We talked about the hallucination and the last segment, but I encourage people go check it out for yourselves. I think, though, what is driving this is it's it's unpredictable where this is all

potentially going in the long run. You know, if this does continue to advance at the same pace that it is and it really can do all the things they say, it's what you can do, and it eventually gets to artificial general intelligence, you know, if you couple that with robots, actual you know, aroid type robots, that would potentially well I don't I shouldn't say eventually get to the place where they have all the same capabilities as human Yeah, I'm not sure how that isn't going to impact jobs,

and I'm not sure what that all means for the future. So I do have a lot of concerns about the longer term aspects of this, but we'll see.

potentially happen. So it's no wonder to me that you know people's concerns are rising about.

Whether it's your web browser like Chrome or hopefully at more privacy friendly web browser, or your operating system, you got to get these updates. The guy I mentioned in the last segment, his name is doctor roman im Polsky. I hope I'm pronouncing that right again. He's a PhD level artificial intelligence researcher at the University of Louisville. He's fairly well known in this space. The Rogan interview, which I've posted all over.

and then to get back to the question at hand. So, you know, one of the things that Apple has going for it, and you know, Apple is way behind in the AI space when you talk about all these big companies like we've talked about before, they're in this space. You know, Microsoft is trying to be a leader. Google's trying to be a leader with their Gemini product. You know, open ai is still perceived by most as the leader,

and I think has the most market share. You've got Xai out there, from our rock, from Xai slash x. So you know there's this battle going on and you don't really see Apple in this space much at all. But that said, what they're doing here, which I think is interesting. Apparently it's been leaked, I shouldn't say leaked.

It was released in some beta testing software a feature that will essentially if you're using FaceTime, and it can detect that you are taking your clothes off, give you a warning and potentially tell you that you should in the call. Now you know some of the questions raised by this and one of the things they point out in the article, and it goes back to.

video or in the call. And you know, I honestly Brian as a parent, as someone who is well aware of the sextortation problem that you and I have talked about on here many times, and that state police have warned about, local police have warned about, the FBI, I've warned about you know, there are many well documented cases where kids, typically young boys, teenage boys, have killed themselves because they get extorted through one of these sextortion scams.

you in studio, my friend. I appreciate your willingness to come on in and talk to my listeners of me today.

they've made it. I don't necessarily want to dive onto them first, but we I mean, I said, I kind of figured that at the conclusion of this hour together, I was going to reach the boiled down proposition or conclusion that Europe, in the European Union is a cautionary tale for what a roadmap for what we should not do here in the United States.

is more of a kind of like European nation. We trade with them, we exchange with them, we have They are i would say more capitalists than communists. So the world's turned out to be an interesting thing. But as contrast to the Europe, Europe we expected to be this great capitalist bastion and free markets and everything like that, but they've drifted away from that into this full on socialism. They you know, the value add attacks all them edicts and mandates. I know you're I know UK is no

longer in the European Union. But if you want a great illustration of how micromanaged people's lives are, watch Clarkson's farm. Have you seen that show?

do not. And then they always want to exclude nuclear from the discussion. I mean, at least France has more nuclear plants and they can safely say that, look, we've got reliable energy production, but you can't say that in Germany.

and I ended up driving about four miles. I pulled back in his drive. He said, well, that was a short trip. I said, yeah, and my bubble is completely burst. Yeah, I mean you got a plan on breaking, you know. I mean, you know, four wheel disc brakes on that sucker, no power steering at all. It just it was like driving around in an empty coke can. Yes, just loud and flimsy. I mean, you know, it's like the I take a modern car all day long over this rick anything. Well, yeah, my dad's was a.

power outages. So maybe some hopeful the state of Ohio here but pivoting over to France as a model while they do rely on nuclear power to their success. From an economic standpoint, I could not believe what you told me before the show started. Let my listeners know this fun fact. Yeah, you know, it's interesting. I didn't realize this fact.

I told them that they had it wrong. You need less regulation, you need to unleash innovation, and and that that never comes from the federal government trying to regulate something.

obnoxious and this is not how you treat friends. And he said, oh, we don't treat friends by having disparate trade policies.

In time for traffic update from.

And did the subject of the European Unions and NATO's security come up, Because you got this little pesky thing called Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and I know they're all incensed about it, and they keep looking to us to provide Ukraine with more weapons, even though there are a very few Ukrainian soldiers left to operate them. Russia continues to make advances. It's been a brutal bloodbath for both sides.

It just looks awful. But since Ukraine is not a member of NATO, they're not a part of the European Union, they just happen to be sort of right there. Has it brought about it? Is there any concern awakening over security? Clearly there has been a move in the direction where they're going to start defending themselves or at least have the ability to defend themselves with this five percent GDP allocation for military reasons and security reasons. But what about

how does this relate to energy policy? You'd think that the nord pipeline or nothing. Yeah, the was it? The Nord pipeline, Nordstream Nordstream pipeline got blown up at the outset of the conflict, Russian energy was shut off and depriving the European Union of But then they had to do workarounds to continue to get and support Russia's military by buying their fuel supply. I mean, it doesn't make any sense, you know.

and he's leveraging everything he can. And again, after the end of the Cold War, germany first policy was let's talk about renewables, but let's buy as much cheap oil and gas from Russia as we can possibly get in both Nordstream one and Nordstream two, where German projects, where the former Chancellor of Germany, Gearhart Schroeder was actually on the Russian board trumpeting all ways stuff.

What if the United States wants to flip the switch, which is kind of what Donald Trump is sort of doing in the sense that he's not providing Ukraine with weapons. Well now he is, but you know, and he could cut off the European Union in so far as defense is concerned.

He can listen to the podcast fifty five KRC dot com plus small business owners in Ohio are struggling to fill jobs. Jack will be talking about that as well. In the meantime from the Hudson Institute Final Online at

Hudson dot org. Doing some great work at the Hudson Institute, Briga McGowan and studio about his trip to Europe and the dysfunction that he witnessed in Europe in terms of energy policy, their pursuit of zero carbon emissions. And we didn't talk a whole lot about the auto industry, but the European Union really really really driving the insanity going on in the automobile world with regard to European manufacturers

moving all the way over and embracing electric technology. I know Volkswagen has Audi of course, under the same umbrella, Porsches moved a lot over to electric and I even have read a bunch of articles they make several different electric versions of the cars over portsche But the cutoff date for the internal combustion engine, I think as respects the case and the Boxer was supposed to be. I think this was the last year of internal combustion production,

going electric next year. But they're going like, well, hold on, hold on. The demand isn't there. Maybe this is not a road you want to go down. But the only reason they're going down that road is because the edicts and mandates from the European Union.

privately that the sales of evs have dropped. They got excited in the beginning, but what they failed to realize is this is this early adoption period where a lot of people want to try it out, and the age of early adoption ended about a year ago. So EV sales, even with these incentive has been following fairly flat. And you know, Ford Blue is losing their shirt on there

on their EV side. So I expect to see a change of heart I suspect coming up because they're just not going to get the market penetration and saturation that they want. And again, if you want to drive an EV, you got an extra stall in the garage, one around town car fine. But these mandates have been overturned. The Trump administration has reversed its tailpipe emission rule, which we

called the the FAV mandate mandate. So that's all been been reversed and we're getting back to you know, if you build something the consumer wants to purchase and have at it.

EV mandates effectively. Good, they see that. But for me, this whole carbon output, climate change alarmism and the restrictions and the throat cutting that European and Westernized countries or developed countries were going, I guess because of guilt or something, they left China and India and the other major polluters

out of the equation, massive massive polluters. While we struggle against this Sissophian challenge to get rid of carbon, they're meanwhile building all kinds of brand new coal power plants.

Absolutely no one Briga McCown will look like and you will find you with Charge Communication or Charge Conversations podcast. Find you at Hudson dot org. And of course your students said Miami University will find you in class when classes in session.

middle class homes. And they keep talking about billionaires getting a tax cut. They never quite mentioned the fact that the middle class also is getting a rather extraordinary tax cut considering the income brackets involved.

I might have lost count at some point, but I believe it was about one hundred and five Democrats stand up in demand that there'll be no cuts whatsoever, no looking whatsoever at Medicaid or SNAP for any kind of fraud, waste, or abuse. They wanted illegals to continue to benefit from it. They wanted absolutely nothing done to stop the massive overspent on those two programs, two vital programs. That you are not sustainable if we don't look at how the money

is spent. So they lined up and all made the exact same motion. We demand illegals on these programs, We demand how other frausters that continue to get their money, and we demand that the bureaucracy itself continue to be wasteful. So it was something to see.

a job. But by expanding Medicaid ranks, which is what Obamacare, what they did during the Obama administration and offering the the these welfare benefits to able bodied people who should be in the workforce, I think is revealing of the ultimate subterfuge that's going on here, which is their ultimate goal, the Democrats goal to really turn Medicaid into what they wanted, which was national healthcare coverage for all. They wanted to put everyone on Medicaid at some point, right.

These come in, and their their presumption is that they're just gonna refuse to meet these requirements, which include you you can you can volunteer, Yeah, you can get work training for the terrible cost of twenty hour or the week, which most Americans don't even consider a full time job. You can volunteer at your own child's school twenty hours a week and meet this requirement.

for these social welfare safety net programs. But the fundamental point that almost was glossed over in your initial comments, no snowfall of view, is these programs are on a downward slide to becoming bankrupt. I mean, we hear about it social Security all the time. They're going to be taking less money in then they pay out. That is a huge problem for folks who rely on Social Security. Medicare and Medicaid are kind of in the same boat.

They're not sustainable in the current trajectory. So history will look back and perhaps say, you know what, the saviors of medicaid were the Republican.

be sustainable for the people who truly need it. And as you said, these programs are supposed to be temporary help to get you back on your feet. As Chairman Thompson says, it is supposed to be a trampoline, not a spider web. When you hit it and it helps you back up the goal of all these programs has to be to get folks back on their feet well.

small business owners struggling to fill jobs. I mean, the trades are a wonderful career opportunity.

Demand is high, and you got a bunch of small businesses clamoring for people willing to work. Boom. The answer to your prayer is, Okay, I got to do some job training. Why not go out there and earn while I learn in the trade

the profession. Timing's perfect, right, yeah, oh absolutely. The primary complaint I hear from small business owners throughout the second District is we just can't get anybody to work. Well, you continue to make the finance their lifestyle from their home, then they're not going to work. So, uh, changes have to be made. These able bodied folks need to work. Look, they're all going to be happier in the long run because, as you and I know, they don't make the rules.

But if you feel like you're contributing something at work, you come home at the end of the day generally are a happier person. You may not all love your job every every minute of every day, but at the end of the week you say, you know, I accomplished something this week. Somebody needed me and I was there. That that helps people. There's there's no way around it.

have to address it. At least this is permanent. If you're gonna want to raise taxes, you're gonna have to run on it, right, I mean, and no one likes to hear about their taxes going up, So good luck with trying to raise taxes down the road. So that kind of bursts the bubble of that possibility. If we get a Democrat Congress, they may try, but I don't think it would be popular with American people. Considering Trump

ran on this. I mean, he was elected by a majority of the population, He won the majority of states, he won the electoral college across the board. It was a win, and he did not pull any punches letting the American people know what his agenda would be. This was in there. It's what we wanted, absolutely right.

it was part of the negotiating process. So the doubling of the tax, child tax credit, doubling of the standard deduction, the twenty percent deduction for small businesses, the death tax exemption is doubled and made permanent. It goes on and on, and it's going to be to the extreme benefit of you know, main Street America. So no bill is perfect, but it's a darn good one, and you know, don't throw out the good for the sake of the perfect.

I understand that argument. Of course, it's been made over again and the lead up to it, because there was some concern whether you know, the likes of Thomas Massey and others wouldn't get the perfection they were looking for. But I understand their principal point. Let's continue with Congressman Dave Taylor after tack quick break here mentioned plumb type plumbing because you deserve better.

has to continue. So my hat's off to the Senate for the changes they made to how community hospitals are funded. We're in close contact with Senator Houston and Senator Marino and and community hospital leaders from from the Second District and around the state. Before the big beautiful bill got across the finish line. They came up with a great solution.

The community hospitals are very pleased with it. And for those of you they in Ohioans and think, oh, we have two brand new senators, maybe we're not getting the best bang for a buck in the Senate. I promise those two guys are kicking the same thing we were talking about sitting on earlier. They're doing a great job over there in the Senate for Ohio in all kinds of ways. So very very proud to get to work with those guys.

we move forward. But also, and this is something I talked with Brigham Gown about with energy policy, an opportunity to start building more nuclear power plants, which I think are the ultimate key and answer to our energy production issues here in America.

about the coal again. But I do believe nuclear is the future, and you know that's it's gonna It could very well be the epicenter of it right here in southern Ohio. Uh, there are small modular nuclear reactor companies who are eyeing the site, and UH, we're hoping for big things out of there. You know, it's obviously it's clean,

it's abund and it's cheap. It's it's a solution to every aspect of the energy concerns, whether it does be environmental or supply and uh, it's a road we have to travel in safely, responsibly and soon.

one department of government that's usaid. No one is ever going to be able to convince me there isn't massive amounts of fraud, waste and abuse in American military, which

has now has a budget of a trillion dollars. Is there any hope that I'm going to have my prayers answered that will unleash DOGE or some other entity like an Inspector General on the military spending budget to fire it out the fraud, waste and abuse, And maybe we don't have to spend that much mundy annually to keep our military ready and armed.

spent wisely. And I think you know the dose activity is going to continue even without Elon Musk And obviously the Department of Defense is how long have we heard the joke about the five hundred dollars toilet seed? Oh yeah, So it just chugs on and on. So it has to be looked into our dollars. We worked hard for them, and we're happy to spend them to protect our country. But that's what they need to be spent on, not on a bloated waste.

benefits and stuff and things. The world showed up at the southern border and in the northern border as well, and we didn't do anything to stop it. As soon as Trump gets elected, it's almost it stopped completely. I mean there were very few interactions, and those who interacted with ICE agents were sent back home so they weren't admitted into the United States. We've almost shut down the

illegal flow of immigration. Do we really need the wall if the agents themselves are doing an effective job of stopping to flow of humanity.

it is not wall. I think there's seven hundred miles left to cover, or seven hundred miles of wall and sixteen hundred total miles left to secure and for the dollars at that cost and the effectiveness that it has long term, especially in the event of a we go back to a Democrat controlled Congress and White House where you know, there what seemed to be their primary motivation was to get as many people as possible across the southern border. At least the wall would serve to slow

it down in that circumstance. So yeah, I think, you know, you know, for value for a dollar, Yeah, I'm for the wall, for the for the barricade, because it's going to help our border patrol too. We went down to the New Gallas crossing point, and I mean that place is immaculate. They were showing us the intake and holding areas and there wasn't the sole in there that when while we were there, we didn't see anybody even attempt

to cross. And those guys are happy as they can be, and they're working hard and been, you know, allowed to do their job, which is all they ever asked for. So I'm from making their job as easy as possible, for protecting America at the highest level we can for the most reasonable price we can, and I think the wall does that.

an iHeartRadio station. The Simply Money Minute is punctored by Channel nine weather forecast. It's going to be hot today, a high of ninety, feeling more like upper nineties because in addition to the sunny skies, it's going to be very humid, plus isolated showers are possible tonight clear skies, seventy one for the low tomorrow ninety one for the high. Start out sunny, but apparently afternoon showers and storms may roll in cloudy overnight. It'll also be muggy with a

low of seventy and you can expect some rain on Sunday. Otherwise, just a partly cloudy day and a high of eighty eight seventy four degrees. Right now, let's get a.

Oh please enjoy it. Happy looking forward to your insight on these important matters. Let's talk about the veto overrides. I was scratching my head. What does Governor de Wine have against some small steps in the right direction of providing the property owners here in the state of Ohio with some property retax relief. Of the sixty plus vetos, he singled out three of the ones that were related to a step in the right direction for property tax relief.

Now we can talk about the specifics of them, but these were a consequence of a lot of study groups and efforts and work over the years to hopefully come up with a solution to get this onerous property tax bill off our back. So this has been widely discussed and these things were ferreted out and he vetos them and says, no, we need to talk about this more. What's your take on this, Jack, what's he got against property tax relief?

product of a work group. And then Dwine comes out and says, well, you know, I think what we need to do is take a closer look at this.

right now, and rightfully so. I talked to a man yesterday who has seen a thirty nine percent increase in his latest property tax bill, and he explains to me with what many of us already understand, which is great. The value of my house went up almost forty percent, but I didn't sell it right, and now I have to pay the difference in cash.

And I think the part of the effort, part of the victory that lawmakers tried to celebrate when getting this budget over the finish line, was they were going to simplify the property tax code all all the different types of levees that schools go out for. It can be very it can be very confusing. For example, there are districts that go out and they'll declare it an emergency levee, and as a voter, you go, oh, well, that sounds serious.

struggling to pay their property tax bills. What we might want to take a look at is giving these local authorities, these local commissions, the opportunity to say, Okay, if you have cash in excess of forty percent of your operating budget, we're going to return that to taxpayers who are struggling to pay the tax bills.

sure that the twenty mili floor calculation is changed. And without getting too confusing there, what's happening now is schools are going outside of what they could get at the you know, the baseline two percent and creating these other operating levees, and so lawmakers are going, now, we're going to include all of that into calculation to eliminate this type of confusion. I think I think the three other than the forty percent cap on carryover money, I think

they will pass. The twenty first is the target date for the House members to return. The Senate is still working on a date to return, but because it is a House bill, it has to originate the override vote and effort that is has to originate in the House, So that will happen on the twenty first, and I expect the Senate we'll see probably sometime later in July,

if not early August. The challenge they're running into, I understand, is a lot of lawmakers, as you know, they have second jobs and or they have families, and this is the time of year that they schedule vacations, and because they need three fifths vote approval, you want to make sure you get all the lawmakers back, and I think in the Senate that equates to about twenty two votes.

So they're going to make sure that they have all the lawmakers back that are going to vote in favor of overriding the Vedo.

it a couple of times. What a great ideal opportunity since you now have to if you're able body, you now have to work at least twenty hours or get education at least twenty hours a week to continue Medicaid benefits. What a perfect time to do that because there are an abundance of job opportunities available for folks out there. Let's continue with Jack after these brief words fifty five KRC.

Ohio and the amount of jobs that are available. Sadly, though, Hi according to the reporting from the High Press Network, Ohio's unemployment rate JACK is the ninth worst in the country. And that's a statement in an article talking about small business owners clamoring to find qualified employees and having a desperate search to find those employees to fill the jobs

that are available. Our our labor participantation rate does not have to be this low, and if those jobs are out there, we can improve that number of people just got up and started applying for jobs, couldn't we.

seen in a while. But it's it's certainly a struggle for small businesses to find employ and keep good employees well. And you know, I have a thirty two year old son, and I've heard this.

call back if you get an interview opportunity. It's just like the ghost the employer who's reaching out to them because they submitted a resume. It's a really weird You mentioned fickle, but it's just the concept of loyalty and desire to do hard work, even if for the sake of work, it just doesn't It doesn't exist anymore, at least it appears so well.

know before, now that I'm really starting to notice. And one of the things you just said is that there is no loyalty and you know, for a few dollars more.

you have people who work two or three jobs. And so if you're one of those employers, now you're competing not only for their off time, but you're competing for maybe they could work with that other job for fifty cents, you know, more an hour.

getting summary judgment on it. Because this is a taking of private property for the use of going to another private entity, in this particular case, the owner of the Browns family. That's unconstitutional. I don't care how the budget reads. You can't trump the constitutional reality of the countless cases that have said you can't do that. So maybe it'll

get overturned. But the simple concept of doing it, Jack, who is it that that family has pictures of that allowed them to get six hundred million dollars for a private sports stadium. I mean that just drives me out of my mind.

maybe you can join me in this. I would argue you and I provide much more of a public service than the Cleveland clowns.

It's online. You can find it, folks. I will recommend it the ohiopressnetwork dot com. Jack, I look forward to having back on the program real soon. Hepe.
