55KRC Tuesday Show - Peter Bronson, Brietbart, Daniel Davis

If not, you know, the rest of the day so all in front of us, and you got a good show to stick around for. And I hope you can hang out here all morning. And I'd welcome phone calls. You know, I love talking to folks. Maybe as a particular topic on your mind, feel free to give me a called five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk found five fifty

on AT and T phones. Of course, got another school shooting for everyone to talk about, this time a girl, a fifteen year old girl. There's hardly any details out about it. They know it was a handgun as opposed to, you know, an assault weapon. And of course I think this is far more a reflection of the mental health status of our children then you know, whether or not

we should be able to own firearms or not. But yes, it invites another discussion along those lines, because Biden's already calling for an assault weapons man, which of course would have no impact on this background checks for a fifteen year old, no impact on that fifteen year olds aren't

allowed to buy guns. Ah, I We'll go down the whole litany of reasons why the laws that all the left pushes quite often have no impact at all on whether or not some disturbed child takes it in their hands and believes it's a good idea to go around and start killing people. It's just beyond my comprehension other than a reflection of perhaps a broader problem mental health. And I always want to go back to social media.

You know, it's easy to blame social media, but wow, I don't recall this kind of thing happening very much during the pre social media life that I enjoyed. Anyhow, coming up though, we got a great hour seven o'clock hour. I cannot wait. I think the world of Peter Bronson, a wonderful author, of course, a storied history here in the city of Cincinnati with his work with the inquirre

Et Center. Peter's going to be in studio for a full hour, just talk about local politics and local issues, and a great conversationalist is He's a fascinating and brilliant man. So perhaps an hour to take on some of the local challenges we face. Maybe we'll talk about roundabouts. Joe Joe burn in an article about all these up to twenty new roundabouts have been floated, as on the latest

street grid plan between downtown and Queen's Gate. Those things are everywhere now everywhere anyhow, I doubt it, but that's one of the things we may talk about. Theater. That's seven o'clock, eight o'clock. We passed forward to the bright Bart inside Scoop Today tech editor Colin Maydin AND's going to address drones, among other things. I suppose it's a wide open field of discussion when you're talking tech these days. Tech Friday with Dave add Or a quick reminder every

Friday at six thirty appointment listening. So Colin Maydine from bright bart On Drones. I see the FBIS issued a warning to New Jersey residence against shooting at or pointing lasers at identified drones. More on that, Daniel Davis Deep Dive. I've been looking forward to this. That segment is because of everything that's going on in the world. Of course, Syria falling off part. There's this massive explosion. It looks like the Israelis blew up yet more Syrian munitions and

hit a bunch of other targets. My son showed me this disturbing video of the size of this one explosion, and some immediately respeculating that maybe this was a small nuke, and no, apparently it wasn't. But the situation obviously rather grave in Syria, and everyone is tapping their toe and wondering what the next administration, what it's going to look like in Syria with the Fallaba Charlesade. Today Daniel Davis Deep Dive, we're talking about Vladimir Putin quote the West

pushing us to our red lines. That amid reports this morning that the Ukrainians killed the Russians one of the Russian lead generals. Just happened within the last well twenty four hours or maybe less. And finally US self defeating arrogance. Daniel Davis having a go at US foreign policy. Military

policy anyway, always interesting with Daniels. So that's for that's today thirty and then eight point fifty, Doctor Kevin Cronley joins the program about colon cancer, which is a huge problem and it's becoming more of a problem for young people. I saw an article the other day that maybe seed oils have something to do with this. I don't know. I've mentioned before, and I'm happy, excuse me that we will be having at least a broader conversation thanks to

RFGA Junior. Weirdo he is. I'm not going to tell you I agree with any you know, a whole lot of what RFGA Junior has to say. He said some pretty damning things about Republicans. Generally he's a global warming nutcase, but he does have a lot of he's outspoken in the area of food and health, and I just to have him there to advance the discussion, that's the point. To have him have a healthy a conversation. Perhaps that

isn't married to the food industry. I don't know. We're all jaded and cynical when it comes to our elected officials. But this is an appointment. RFK Junior not an elected official. He's just someone, you could say, sort of kind of maybe from the outside, at least in so far as the Trump administration is concerned. He is, but that he might be a little more free or capable of saying things and telling it like it is now. I personally do not embrace his across the board anti vax position.

I know a lot of my listeners think vaccines of the end all be all on. Some of my listeners think that they're the evil, ultimate evil and responsible for autism and every other thing that happens in our lives. I'm somewhere in the middle. For example, I am really, really, really happy that I never got polio. Thank God for the polio vaccine. Have you ever seen pictures of the iron lungs that they used to have to put people in back when polio was running amok h yeah, thankfully No.

I never had to spend my life in an iron lung because I never got polio, So I call that a good vaccine. And I did get chicken pox and measles and mumps as a child, so I believe I have some measure of natural immunity in so far as those go. But you know what, they didn't kill me

just saying, just say it. So let's see here, yo. Yeah, the chief of Russia's nuclear defense forces is the one that was killed by an explosive device, it says, in Moscow, and maybe that will be going directly to the west, pushing us to our red lines, launching our missiles further and further into Russia. But Lieutenant General Igor Krilliov, they had a Russi's Nuclear and Biological and Chemical Defense Forces and his a system killed during an explosion in Moscow.

Happened today. Russian Investigative Committee said the explosive device was placed in a scooter near a residential apartment block. Investigator, forensic experts and operational services are working at the scene, accord to the spokesperson there, the search activity is being carried out to establish all the circumstances around this crime. I'm willing to guess that this has nothing to do with Ukraine or it involves some sort of domestic terror operation,

because Russia not exactly stable internally. You can say the same thing about the United States. We got crazy people running around some in schools, shooting people others, you know, like Antifah and crazy elements and terrorist bombings and all that. It happens literally everywhere in the four corners of the globe. So I'm guessing probably more that, although it could be someone who sympathizes with Ukraine. Maybe the guy, I don't know, Maybe he was having an affair with somebody's wife and

they decided to offer him that way. You don't know. M Anyway, in the remaining moment of time here, let's see I mentioned the drones. FBI is warning New Jersey residents again. Shooting the drones came up yesterday and thanks to thanks to Jay Rattliff, he put up a Facebook post the other day. It's a meme that's circulating around. And my fellow ski shooters got shotgun shooters, trapshooters, maybe just general shotgun hunting folks. Understand the difference between various

shotgun shells. It's the drone load. He got like double lot buck. He got bird shot, which would be like a number eight or number seven, maybe number six. He got something for hitting geese at higher altitudes and ducks at hire altitudes, maybe a four or three shot. I don't know, but they make multiple different size shots that fit in that little plastic cylinder that is the shot shell.

I don't know what size a shot it is for a drone, but the box had a drone on it labeled drone shot since about time they put this out. So anyway, people are I assume we're going to take this matters into their own hands until our government finally tells us what these things are all about. Anyway, FBI Newark, New Jersey State Police want to warn the public about the increase in pilots of manned aircraft being hit in the eyes with lasers. This is a problem that's ongoing.

Never shoot a laser up at an airline pilot or an airplane. But since some of these flights are at night, people can't tell the difference between a drone and a regular airplane, and so apparently they're aiming their lasers at the drones. Now, you ask yourself, what in the hell kind of good would that do? What is the point of that? It's not going to do anything. It won't do anything to a drone and won't do anything to

a manned aircraft except maybe blind the pilot. Pointless gesture, although the warning comes along with a warning to not shoot at them either, which you know if it is a drone. I kind of sympathize with the people that want to shoot them down. Most notably, they're flying around over your backyard. We're not quite at the point where Amazon deliveries are flying over at your backyard and you would be shooting down And it's not legal to shoot these things down. And I'm not advocating for it. I'm

just saying I get it. But when you've got a government that's not telling you exactly what's going on, and everyone seems to assume that the government does know where these drones are coming from. They're rather large, they're mysterious. They're showing up in areas over maybe military bases, and it was like, okay, if they belong to the military, and that's why they're flying on a military basis, what are the nice piece of information just passed along? Don't

sweat at public they're hours. I don't think we'll be telling the Chinese Communist Party or the Russians, or any of them our adversaries anything they don't already know, since they party already hacked into all systems and stole all the data related to the manufacturer, production, and operation of the drones. But the American people might want to know

just so. They're not inclined to pull a shotgun out using their drone load and shooting a drone down anyway, So don't do it, says the FBI, and the Newark authorities and the New Jersey authorities, And I'm sure every authority here locally will tell you the same thing. But we can all agree it's really tempting. Five seventeen fifty

Good for the show

and a very convenient little app. That thing I saw, I think it was justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, was complaining about us here in the United States, sort of charting our own path and deciding we didn't want to vote for Kamala Harris. And of course everyone's doing soul searching on the left side of the ledger because they still are standing in disbelief that they lost, and many blaming misogyny or something because we didn't vote for Kamala

Harris in pretty substantial numbers voted for Trump. I think it was Trudeau said the same thing, you know, failed to elect again and their first female president, as if the man woman component has anything to do with it. And I really, in the heart of my heart, of my heart of hearts, I'll vote for a woman all day long, as long as she's not a blithering idiot or insane. In terms of policies, no one seems to

be taking in consideration. The policies were the reason that the Republicans offered a more sane path and that the left went so far left they fell off the rails and alienated even many among their own ranks. How many times have you heard, you know that the the Democratic Party left me. I didn't leave them. You got lots of Democrats that are centrists saying, you know what, screw this, I'm going out to the Republican Party. At least they offer a you know, a spot from there for me there.

I'm not batcrap insane, and so I turned with that. I turned a representative, Jasmine Crockett, Democrat out of Texas, haaving it go at Hispanic voters. So this is my distilled summary of what happened within the Latino community. I have not run into that with the Asian community, have not run out with the African community, have not run into that with the Caribbean community. I've only run into

with Hispanics. When they think of illegals, they think of, you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels and that kind of like a criminal type book or whatever. It's insane calling them voters having a slave mentality for supporting Donald Trump quote. It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about the kind of slave mentality they hate that some slaves would have for themselves. It's almost like a slave mentality that

they have. It is wild to me when I hear how anti immigrant they are as immigrants to many of them, I'm talking about people that literally just got here and can barely vote, that are having that kind of attitude. Now, let us boil this down. Did Latino voters vote for Donald Trump because of his border policies? Now? I know there was a lot of surveys within the Latin American community and other minority communities about how they felt about immigration.

But does this woman and somebody well, I really don't believe she believes in what she's saying. But in their struggle to figure out why and the how many people voted for Donald Trump, did she ever step outside of the immigration box and consider that maybe many people within the Latino community are probably very traditional in their thinking,

very religious in their thinking. I know a sizable component of them are Catholic, for example, and that many of the left wing policies, most notably embracing the entire LGBTQ plus agendas shoving it down children's thrones in public schools, for example, might have been one of the more important reasons for them to sort of put aside immigration how they got here relative how somebody else got here and said enough's enough. There's more than one thing in one reason.

And to vote for any given candidate, and to vote for Kamala Harris is to vote for all of the above and so far as that far left wing component of the Democratic Party. So maybe, like the surveys revealed, including the black community, because she even acknowledged that. I will tell you that the black people historically have been

fiercely loyal, loyal to the Democrats. Yeah, I always ask myself why, But fine, that's why you still see the turnout numbers that you see coming out for black folks, even though there was a bit of flaking, and that bit of flaking came from black men, which I'm going to chalk up to misogyny. Know how about perhaps they have other reasons for voting for Donald Trump, and many black men, I imagine, like the ones I see screaming at the mayors of these various Democrat sanctuary cities, are upset.

Perhaps they pivot over and want to vote for a president who's more tough on immigration. You see, there's different reasons for different people to cast a vote that this woman finds troubling or representative of a slave mentality. They can't think out of the box. They are so blinded by their own ideology that they're struggling to explain this. It seems to me pretty damn easy. The left went way too far left, and there's a lot of reasons

that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. Black men must compete for jobs with the newly arrived illegal immigrant community in these densely populated black cities Democrat sanctuary cities. Can't you imagine that they might want to vote for a strong border president because it's impacting their career opportunities, otherwise impacting negatively their neighborhood, the resources from government that

they might otherwise use to advance themselves or solve their problems. Right, I want to slap these people metaphorically in the face. But you know, I never get a chance to talk with people like Jasmine Crockett. I suppose fine and vit draw on the morning show. She wouldn't want to have a conversation with me. Five one, three, seven, two three talk local stories coming up. Hope you can stick around.

local news, breaking my heart. But beyond that, Quentin Bentley from the enquire Report and the social media feud turned deadly their social media again suburb of North Kentucky when Amanda Turner brought her children there for a fight, including her teenage son who happened to be carrying a gun. We need an assault weapons banjob forty year old Turner

sentence in Kenton County Circuit Court yesterday. Have twelve and a half years in prison for her role in the August twenty twenty three fatal shooting of twenty three year old Seth Burns. Judge Cathy Late handing down the sentence, which match recommendation from prosecutors negotiated, is part of Turner's plea agreement she pleted guilty in September the criminal facilitation of murder, rioting unlawful transaction actually with a miner, and

illegally permitting a miner to possess a handgun. Less than half the prison ternament posed on her younger song eighteen year old Jackie Turner, who was sentenced to thirty years in prison after compleading guilty to murder and admitting to firing the round that killed Burns started after an online dispute partly between the girlfriend of Turner's older son, Xavion Turner, and a woman he'd previously been in a relationship with. The family went to Archer Court in Independence on August

twenty fifth, twenty three for a planned fight. A planned fight, prosecutor say a man to Turner. The mom was involved in the text messages instigating the fight, and a doorbell camera video showed her leading her children down the street while screaming. Turner admitted in court that she drove her younger sung too and from the fight. She also told detectives she knew both of her son's routinely carried guns. Feutetem from a social media post related to quote insults

about children and parenting skills or lack thereof. Close quote, according to the kindy comwealth to Turney Rob Sanders, isn't that an interesting topic for the social media post to relate to? Given that this woman took her children known to carry firearms to a planned fight. After a brief exchange words before the fight could begin, the seventeen year old Jackie Turner fired once into the air and then once it Burns, hitting him in the torso, and then

the Turner family fled. Burns didn't even know the Turners, but went to Archer Court home with a girlfriend who was part of the feud. Burns mom Barbara in court quote, I feel like you and your family acted with complete disregard and malice for any human life close quote. Can't disagree with that. Burns family said they don't believe Turner should have shown remorse. Daniel Schubert a man who turned His attorney said the opposite's true. She does wish it

didn't happen, for what it's worth, he said. Say Yon, turning out twenty two, is also sentenced Monday to three years in prison. During a four day trial November, prosecutors painted her as a central figure known to everyone in the dispute. Jerry ultimately owe him rather ultimately found him guilty of tampering with evidence, but not guilty of murder,

unlawful transaction with a minor, and rioting. Prosecutor said Turner to lie to police about taking his younger brother's gun after the shooting, and told his sister to the lead her text message history. Investigators later found the murder weapon in Turner's possession. His attorney for his right decline comment on the sentence. There's so much in there. I just don't well, we'll just let it go. Five point thirty five fifty five care seen. He talks stations, Stacker Stupid

coming up. Feel free to call though, rather talk to you than do Stack and Stupid, but I will. There's some interesting ones in the Stacker Stupid, as is the case since Joe Strucker's back, which is a good thing. Five point thirty five would write.

Social media posts from the California Highway Patrol said the crash occurred after the driver lost and and drove into a gym and then straight into the swimming pool, calling it a shocking incident, reminding us how dangerous distractions can be, and swimming video footage which they have when the incident shows a black car resting in the middle of a pool before being lifted out. Not immediately clear which fitness

center had happened at, they didn't say. The Rhythland Fire Department didn't say thankfully no one was injured, but yes, it could have been tragic, according to the fire department. Pool unoccupied at the time of the incident. No injuries

to anyone in the fitness center either. The guess Joe, they have a drive through now good to Kent, Washington, where a mother there says The Washington in Washington State, woke up from a coma, the coma that had been caused by a stroke, and got some pretty bad news. Christina Silvale lives in Wandering Creek Apartments in Kent, Washington. Last April, she suffered a stroke left her in a coma in a hospital for about a month when she

got awake. When she woke from the coma, she said she received an eviction notice from her landlord.

Said the pain it hurts every day because my kids can't do anything with me. When I came home after the hospital, I felt useless. I couldn't do anything I could before with the Before the kids like cook and clean. Said she's always been a hard worker and doesn't like staying at home post strokes, that she can't feel anything on the right side of everybody, including her face, arm

and leg while works continuing to search for work. Her mom and her and are trying to help her look for resources within the community, but they say several programs they've looked into have long waiting lists. Mm hmm. Well. The local News reached out to Wandering Creek Apartments, owned

by essex Or Real Estate Investment Trust. A representative there named Courtney said the company does not plan on providing a statement that's shocking Shockingerio the biggest douche of the universe, in all the galaxies, there's no bigger douche than.

You got to go back to the original Star Trek Star Trek William Shatner beat a Cory of Huntington, New York, talking to CBS News New York, said that when she started to lose her eyesight in twenty twenty, she gave up driving, sold her car, and surrender her license plates.

Her license plates shared the same number as the Starship Enterprise in the original Star Trek television program ends seventeen oh one, and apparently, according to the reporting, Star Trek fans from all over the planet have been buying matching novelty plates and putting them on their vehicles, leading to hundreds of tickets being delivered to her mailbox. Said, I want to cry because it's a simple matter they could

have fixed. Yes, ma'am. It is in this modern world with technology that we live in, I cannot imagine this actually happens what apparently it does all the time. Apparently even received threats from Ohio and Canada, places where people with those fake blakes committed crimes. There is one attorney, Kenneth Mollis, who is volunteered to help her with the issue. Said, this is a lady who was beaten up by a

big bad corporation for years. He said New York Department of Motor Vehicles talking with local news there that Corey was no longer attached to the Star Trek plates, confirming that fact. However, Tony Mullen's research determined her name and address were never removed, so he went to the top of the DMV hierarchy able to get the matter resolve, meaning she will no longer get those tickets. Corey and her part said thank you so much. Yay, finally after

Should be great conversation in the seven o'clock hour. Back Oh, in my last week this week for the rest of the year, I am taking Christmas vacation. Actually it's Christmas plus vacation, so I'll be off. Friday is our Christmas special with Rob Ryder. Can't wait for Robbie back in the studio. Love that guy. He's retired now too, which kind of breaks my heart. Mister Air Show himself. He does podcasts, and so does Joe Strecker. If you ever want to do a podcast, get in touch with Joe Strecker.

He produces them. That's his sort of side gig. He does a great job at it too, So in case you were interested in sort of jumping into that realm, Joe's a man to call anyway. Go back to the stack of stupid we have in a person who was incensed that relative relatives, mind you, were praying to Jesus in her home. A Florida woman who came from Tehran, Iran told police that she quote prays using the Kuran

and does not believe in Jesus close quote. But she also allegedly battered one of those visitors, attack that landed her in jail. Thank you, just drecker. According to the arrest Affidavid, the praying dispute between ry Sherry Changhini, who's fifty eight, and her brother, Peter Canghini, described as a sixty three year old contractor turned violent. Peter told investigators that he was praying with his wife Naid using their cross when Changhini got mad at him and told him

to leave. Copsleveschanghini first quote picked up Peter's phone and threw it on the ground, destroying it. Why are you doing that, I believe because praying to Jesus. When she then went to attack Peter, he put his arms up to defend himself, a Sherry bit his right forearm as this tradition. Changhini then threw Peter's stuff out of the residence and broke his cross. At one point, Peter told police Canghini scratched her own neck and told him, you're

going to jail now, a decision for the police. When cops got there Vero Beach specifically, they said Peter had a bite mark on his right arm, which had visible bruising and was bleeding. Police said that his phone was shattered and inoperable. Peter told deputies that he and his wife were at the home to visit his mother, who

was there on hospice care. During the questioning, Cchanghini claimed that she bit Peter in self defense after he scratched her neck, but a deputy reported it examining Canghini's fingernails and found just what they described as traces of skin under her nails, consistent with her scratching her own neck. Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Thank you. Joe.

Jinghini charged with two misdemeanors, battery and resisting arrests, the latter count resulting from her struggling with officers when they sought the handcover. Keep your stupid mouth shut, thanks Jay. Judge realized ging Ghinee a release rather Jingide yesterday or the day the day after the incident. It's been a couple of days. Apologies for that from the County jail on un recognizan scheduled to be back in court January fourteenth.

at eight o five. Today Colin made On the Tech editor returns to talk drones and the FBI, warning you do not shoot them down and don't aim laser pointers at aircraft. Dana Davis deep dive. We'll talk of Ladimir Putin saying the West is pushing us to our red lines, also us self defeating arrogance. Hmm. Sounds me like Daniel Davis has a little worked up this morning with eight thirty for that. And then we'll hear from Gastro Health's doctor Kevin Cronley about colon cancer. So there you have it.

That's the lineup for this morning. And moving over to my discuss with Ohio. And I regularly express discuss with Columbus merely because you'd think, since they do have a lockstep majority of the Republican Party, that you would be a well oiled machine to get good legislation passed, and most notably something along the lines of property tax release

since people are still reeling from the post COVID reassessments. Is, after all, our property values went up and then we got these massive increase in property tax bills and now everyone's feeling the pain. And that was actually mentioned and I got to give props to the East Callahan and for reporting on this, Denise Callahan WCPO. So the Ohio legislator had lofty goals for giving us relief from these insane property tax bills, but most efforts over the past two years have died.

address property tax relief. We'll get to that special committee here in a moment, told CPO that property tax relief is out of reach this year. Quote I feel comfortable saying no property tax relief will pass this General Assembly. Close quote. Now, apparently there was a with our describing as a last ditch effort in the House last Tuesday with House Bill two seventy four. Now, it wasn't a panacea, it wasn't the end all be all of tax relief, but it would have provided some some some measure of

tax relief. What it would have done was double the homestead exemption for qualified taxpayers to fifty thousand dollars for people who've lived in their homes for twenty years or more. It passed overwhelmingly seventy eight to eleven. Representative Adam Matthews at eleven and urging its passage prior to the vote said, no Ohioan who has lived their entire life in their home should be at risk of losing it to taxation.

Thank you, they say. Each of our offices has undoubtedly received dozens, hundreds, thousands of calls from constituents rightfully concerned about getting taxed out of their homes. The House has sought to take meaningful steps over this General Assembly to address the rising costs by passing HB two seventy four. Again, the vote was seventy eight to eleven. We take a step forward to provide continued relief to homeowners needing it

most right now. It would have cost the state a measly one hundred and ninety million dollars annually, which suggests me not quite enough. But look, you know you think the Ohio budget can manage dealing without one hundred ninety million dollars. Prior to passage in the full House seventy eight to eleven, this particular provisioner bill rather languished on a shelf since its last hearing, which was its third on December twelfth of last year. Nothing done since December

twelfth of twenty twenty three. But now as we approach the legislature scheduling to recess for the year this week, of course it's got to move through the Senate for concurrence, but apparently there's no time for it to go through the normal hearing process prior to the end of the thirty fifth General Assembly. It's got to be afer to

the Senate ways and means A Blessing. State Senator Blessing told the media outlet he isn't planning on any more meetings unless the Senate President request one, and I'm laying odds that the Senate President is not going to request one ergo because the Legislature has scheduled recess for the

year this week. At the end of the year the General Assembly, the clock on legislation resets and all pending bills die, meaning that House vote of seventy eight to eleven means nothing after the end of the year because they're not going to reconvene, the Senate's not going to vote on it, and it's dead. So even as modest as the relief was, and I must point out Blessing, according to the reporting here from WCB, at least has passed along Blessing says, well, I don't like the bill anyway. Quote.

They're doing this to make it sound big when it's really not. It's not really providing all that much relief. I don't think we passed that, meaning the Senate. Well, folks out there in the listening audience, would you take some relief over no relief? Could the Senate not reconvene, go ahead and pass the along overwhelming lines like the House, give us some relief and then work on more relief later. Just because this particular tax relief bill passes, it doesn't

mean you can't work on something that's better. And there are other ones being tossed around by way of ideas, and they cost the state a lot more. But how about a little love, how about a little scene? Know it? Show you for the ether, and don't tell me on my death bet, I'm going to receive total consciousness. Stay. President Matt Huffman could not be reached for common on whether he wants HB two seventy four vettter or not.

Representative Dan Troy, a Democrat out of Willowick's, speaking to the WCBO, I guess I understand that the Senate president said he'd rather deal with this stuff next year, so we're kicking the can down the road. For his part,

Representative Thomas Hall Adam Addison Township. He says he believes no meaningful reform has come to fruition because when the two year budget for the General Assembly was being negotiated, only thirteen of eighty eight counties had been hit with these massive pandemic induced property hikes, and you're probably in one of them. Butler, Green, Montgomery Counties among the first few.

Warren County has since undergone its reappraisal increases across the board thirty seven percent for Butler, thirty for Green, thirty four from Montgomery Warren County. This guy hit with a twenty seven percent increase. Representative Hall said, when we were trying to tackle the property tax issue in April and May of last year, we were in budget negotiations at that time, and during those negotiations, property tax wasn't a huge priority to anybody because we were one of the

first counties to get hit with this. Now, I think it's a whole different landscape because we've been through an election cycle, and make no mistake about it, we were

the only ones in the beginning it. Now every corner of the state has heard from their constituents on property tax Pause for a moment, since it happened to Butler, Green, Montgomery and Warren during the pendency of your budget negotiations, couldn't you like say, hey, hey, hey, hey, the rest of you folks on the other balance of the eighty eight counties, you better look out. This is gonna hit

you like a ton of bricks. These property tax increases are insane, and your people are gonna be blowing the phones up once they get their reassessment. Why don't we address it now, get ahead of it, and make us all look like superheroes. Now they didn't do that? Why bother just Strucker stated the obvious. I wish we had known this before the election. It goes on, there's more

to this. But as I read that again, remember this is all the nothing's gonna happen because they're going on vacation and the end of the season, the end of the Legislative Assembly happens at the end of the county year. I guess timing is everything. They're going home. This dies, right. Could they pass it? Yes they could, but they're not. And then I flip over to the federal government. How many times we've been dealing with continuing resolutions, which is

also kicking the can down the street. You're supposed to do twelve separate funding bills, twelve count them, twelve annual appropriations, and every administration keeps coming along, and Speaker Johnson is pledging to process all twelve annual appropriation bills next year. Just wait for it. After the stop gap expires in March. They're working on the continuing resolution for this stopgap measure, which just kicks the can of budgeting down the road.

You wait to hear what's holding it up. And they're getting ready to go on Christmas recess as well. They've had all year long, and they knew twenty years ago that by the end of the year in twenty twenty four, they would have had done twelve appropriations bills. But no,

here we are still dealing with a continuing resolution. When is Doc Dear Congressman Thomas Massey, when is the last time our Congress has actually dealt with and passed twelve separate appropriations bills, which is required, it's part of their job description. I don't remember the last time that's happened.

He's always on the bandwagon about that.

over the weekend. They are still bickering, at least as of yesterday, over the funding bill that will lay the groundwork for the early days of the Trump administration. All right, so without it, government agencies are going to shut down midnight Saturday. There won't be any will there be any political ramifications for it. Since they got this thing kicked past the election, it's all solidified, so we're not running up to an election with a looming government shutdown. The

election's over with Trump's president. House now run by Republicans. Senate Republicans. Case you didn't get the memo, go back over that, and then maybe the government will shut down, providing I don't will political fodder for anybody. I'd rather get my popcorn out, watch the government shut down, and

just let it go see what happens. I know that's a bit of an overstatement, but still I'm so thoroughly disgusted with lawmakers coming on the heels of this nonsense going on in Columbus and here we have it basically continuing and then like year after year after year in Washington, DC. So anyway, shut down midnight Saturday, lawmakers apparently getting ready to prove another stop gap bill to extend federal funds

into mid March. But there's some disputes, and they're having some disputes over farm maide as well as RFK Stadium, which is what drew my attention to the article, and I almost made my blood boil. House Speaker Mike Johnson widely expected to pull out to buy a bartisan bill soon. Tee up and vote. They're eager to bolt from Washington to get home from the holidays. Thank you for that acknowledgment.

Jacob Boggage over at the Washington Post. Legislation would push out the government shut down deadline by three months again going to March, and include up to one hundred billion dollars of assistance for natural disaster survivors because, of course, all the FEMA money had been used for illegal immigrants. Go ahead, look it up. During the last minute negotiations, the Speaker attempted to attack on more financial assistance for farmers more in addition to the massive amount of financial

assistance the farmers get already. Democrats responded by seeking federal funds to reconstruct Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. It's tit for tat all, Republicans. You want more farm made, well, then we need something for the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

But wait for it. Quote from the Washington Post. Maryland Congressional delegation, which holds outsized sway on the appropriations process, issued additional demands relating to negotiations over the future home of the Washington Commanders, which apparently is playing its home games at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. And it got a quote a venue widely regarded as one of the worst in the league. Boob blank word who someone wrote right there, Hey, Joe, you know it says they're actually

playing their home games. They're actually getting the games played, They're accomplishing the task of playing a football game at the Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. Wow. And no one's dying. There haven't been any natural disasters. I haven't read about anything like that. So I guess you can play football even though by some subjective measure, your stadium is the worst one in the league. How about that? And see it's subjective. Just said that's debatable. Ah, But you see

there's a component of this. It's a little more complicated because the funding bill apparently there's a provision in there about this stadium which transfers control of the land around RFK Stadium from the federal government to the city of Washington, DC, which therefore allows the Commanders and the city to then negotiate for a potential new stadium. All of which urged

me because look, we're facing the government shut down. You know, everybody pulls their house at Wales and nashes their teeth. Oh my god, government shutting. One of the components of shutting down the entire federal government is the future home of the Washington Commanders, even though they're still capable of playing football at Northwest Stadium in Landover Mare, Maryland, Ah.

It hasn't been enough for it since I've been alive. I remember Ronald Reagan complaining about the impending one trillion dollar fel deficit when it was in the nine hundred billions.

You know, fast forward and now we're looking at what I mean, they say, within what a couple of years, it's going to be forty trillion dollars spent beyond what they took in tax wise.

they didn't get the tax credit. Everybody went to the first football game and they discovered that I think it was they had just put gravel lots in and rather than building a parking garage, and they wanted to and they did pass another one hundred and fifty million dollars to build the parking garage because everybody had to be either busted in from the parking lots that were gravel all around the Cincinnati area, or they had a very long walk.

and to satisfy their wants and needs. But you know, in the final analysis, what is the most important thing? Is it really sports? I had a conversation at a Christmas party about this over the weekend. Someone was incensed and mad that we're allowing college football players to actually make money because they make money for the colleges. They make literally millions and millions and millions of dollars of revenue for the colleges. They get jack squad other than

education if they choose to pursue it. And I have no problem with the college football players taking a slice of that action. They're the ones that are generating to damn revenue. So and then that and that pivoted over to a conversation about what's the point of college. I know we've got revenus High State University fans. I'm best friends with one loves up the street from me, and I get so sick of hearing about Ohio State. I want to vomit. My daughter got two degrees from High

and State. I'm very happy for the degrees. Are why I'm happy. I don't want to write a check to Ohio State. I wrote checks to pay for her education. Same thing Universe Cincinnati. I got two degrees. Love my environment. I love my school primarily because I enjoyed my social life there. But they did educate me, and I was successful and capable of, you know, helping to you know, hol's cloth, feed shelter a family and raise a family, and found a wife in law school there. So I

got nothing but with thanks and praise the University of Cincinnati. No, I'm not writing him a check and I don't. And we had such a crappy football team and crappy basketball team back when I was there. I never got really engaged in the sporting environment. I was there for school. It's school, learning, education, getting a degree, preparing for your future. That's what college is supposed to be about. City of Cincinnati,

what is the city supposed to be about? Taking care of the dam roads, prograding environment that is welcoming, a low taxation, low crime environment that is welcoming to people. Hey, we're one of the few cities in the entire United States that has a professional football team, and bully for us. How do all those other cities live through and survived quite often more successfully than the City of Cincinnati when they don't have a football team. Hmmm, let's ponder that

one for a while. Where are our damn priorities? And this is not to say that I don't enjoy watching a football game. I'm entertained by it. But you know what, my priorities are a little bit different. They've served me well over the years. Six. I'm sorry, man, I just just this, this really, really really has gotten under my skin, and it really set me off this morning to know that our federal government might get shut down in part

They didn't play at bombs and blow stuff up, right, I mean, And it wasn't the only bomb. They blew up the Haymarket Statute in Chicago, our statue in Chicago. They had all kinds of bombings,

killing a police officers. Crazy you had it was it Bobby Seal and the Black Panthers and just really a lot of violence, the killing of RFK, the killing of Martin Luther K Luther King, JFK, Malcolm X even, I mean, just the violence was so much more profound than thankfully it is now. And yes, we have our share of violence, and I'm not trying to downplay it, but if you don't reflect back, and that was I mean, that was almost within my lifetime being born in sixty five, of

course don't remember it. But then rewind to around the turn of the century with all the Kamis and socialists run around also committing acts of violence and terrorism.

these weathermen bombings were owing your weather underground. It was like crazy stuff, rotc buildings, people were getting killed, oh yeah, policemen were getting shot randomly. It was a nutty time. I had no idea that there were that many bombings going on. Of course, I was a high school kid. I wasn't paying attention to the news at the time, but what a nutty time.

or prison. But you know, it's we all think that our individual life, that everything happens within our vidual lives, and that we exist in this moment in time when you know all this has hap Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

Are you out of your mind? Did you look at like the glacier that used to cover the whole state of Ohio ten thousand years ago or anyhow. But it's fascinating. Maybe you write a book about all that that violence

and protests in the sixties. That's my favorite historical period in our country between for what, I don't know why, and I think we talked about this last time, between the Kerawhac Beatneck area all through the early seventies and the development and the wild societal changes that went on just during that decade, the counterculture, the all of it.

quite literally can talk with him about anything. And after our last conversation, you maybe scratching your head, going, well, what's this all about in this hour? Well, it's about anything and originally the talking we're gonna talk kind of local politics was the general subject matter, and off the break I started talking about, well, I really don't know a whole lot about local politics because there's so very little reporting on it, and he's like, oh my god.

And see there's the tip of the iceberg of the next conversation. The world's a completely different place back when you were with the inquiry, I mean you, I mean we knew in depth and in detail every council meeting the subject matter with the committees, and.

But we had people on everything, and now there's nobody watching, and now you begin to see the corruption that we've had at City Hall, the just unilateral stupidity of decisions that are just covering things up or decisions that just don't make sense, and it's because there's nobody watching. And elected officials who are not being watched are like kids in with their hands in the candy jar.

in what was happening locally in politics. Did that interest disappear or is it just still out there being unfulfilled in terms of getting the information, Because I figure if there's a demand, then even if it's just online, you should be able to get that. But I'll give props to the local media that does have online content, but again it's not nearly nearly as in depth.

and they began to ignore their readers. And there's a cost for that, because the only thing you have to spend in media, your coin is credibility.

that's not what a reporter should do. They should stop with reporting the facts and then let me and you and the other folks draw their own conclusions from a political perspective, whether they think it's a right or not thing to exactly.

He sent me a copy of his book along with a very nice note talking about how awesome you are. You helped him out, you gave him some guidance, and in fact, I do believe you published his book so fantastic. It's a neat story, So

thank you and for inspiring. Also, there's other local writers out there, And you know, when I was a lawyer, I used to write all the time, and to the extent not you know, putting pen to paper and thoughts and just it's been so long, I don't know, but I know a lot of people out there do it. So they draw a lot of inspiration from you. And with that small publishing company, I think you provide folks who otherwise wouldn't have an avenue. That's right.

people want to write. Now I can help them pretty much from start to finish, coaching, editing, helping them work through writer's block, all kinds of things that happen when you're writing a book and getting them over the finish line with a good printer, with great designers who do fantastic covers, and it all comes together and it's nothing like giving somebody seeing them get that book from their hands with their name on it.

at one period. Very cool. It's just like, why not just stick for this topic just for a moment, because I do want to get back to the media bias thing. But sure, in terms of writing a book, is there's sort of a you have to have a whole start to finish general concept timeline, and then go in and fill in the details. Yes, I got to know where you're going from point A to Z.

don't want to put it down. There's an art to There's got to be an art to saying I can't put this book down. One of my favorite authors, Dostoyevsky,

a renaissance in media. I'm really curious to pick your brand about that, Peter Bronson. It's seven thirty five right now. If you have karos to detalk station and a strong, strong, strong, strong recommendation to call USA USA Insulation, you know, if you've never called them, and if you've got a brand new home, don't bother. I suppose, because they're supposed to

insulate those things to the fullest extent possible. But older homes mid seventies and before you got nothing in the exterior walls, and those late seventies eighties, and I don't know how far in but that's why I say it's a free inspection. The folks at US Insulation can determine how much insulation you have in your exterior walls, and if it's insufficient, you can get the phone to go in with the old That kind of like provides a

double layer. But if there's nothing in there, you're going to be just in all cases truly amazed by the immediate improvement and comfort. And then there's that energy savings, which I always think is the most important thing. Comfort, of course is going to come along with a well insulated home, but the amount of money you can save every month probably maybe not, but yeah, in many cases it'll pay for itself because right now it's only ninety

nine dollars a month interest free. You've seen your energy bill and you know that thing is never going down, So why not nip it there and start saving money each and every month on a product it literally pays for itself. I would imagine improves the value of your home. So that's why it was a housewarming gift from my wife and me to my daughter and Eric with their under insulated R twelve late seventies build home. It's fully insulated now and they're really enjoying the benefits of that.

You can too, call for the quote while it's still ninety nine dollars a month interest free, and while that energy tax credit is still available. Twelve hundred dollars when you're doing your taxes next year. Five one three three eight one three six two six three point eight one foam online, USA Insulation dot Net.

on that. But beyond that, Peter, going back to your Enquire days, and we all we already talked about the world a completely different place. At one point you got straight reporting. You would interview the Dems and the Republicans, but you'd interview them, you put their comments in print, the factual information behind it, and that let their leaders the readers draw their own conclusions. Now bias started leaking

into it. And I know about that because I've been around long enough to remember when a lot of people in my youth, even I mean going back to like even I suppose my college years, you know, eighty three to eighty all the way through law school is ninety. But you hear people all the time, I screw the inquiry. They just become this left wing rag and it did start moving further and further left. Readership out obviously declined.

And now we're at a time where we have internet and I know, the paper itself now is a lot of repetition from USA today. I have Sharon Coolidge on the program, and you know, whatever her political bias is, I actually kind of feel sorry for her because she is trying to accomplish by doing you know, going to city halls, she went to the damn train sale meetings. Since she's trying to accomplish as one single human being what a whole team of people used to go out

there and do. So, Sharon, if you're out there, God bless you. But beyond that, this bias crept into it. But it's not The InCAR is an illustration of that. All across this great land. We call it the you know, the the mainstream media, which everybody knows is shorthand for this interjection of commentary and political bias into normal news reporting. All right, moment of reflection seems to be happening right now. Look what happened to the ratings at MSNBC after Trump

got reelected. People even said, you know, we felt like we've been lied to. They were perpetuating this myth that Biden was razor sharp and lo and behold, everybody's being lied to. They lied over and over again by repeating the Russia, Russia, Russia. You know, there's nothing here to see on Hillary Clinton and server and the hunter Biden laptop is a myth. All these lies, yes, but they got in trouble because they kept repeating them or not

reporting on them at all. And they're feeling obviously if you just look at ratings as the barometer, they're feeling the aftermath of that pressure. Absolutely. Now with all that, what do you think is going to happen? Will they change their tune, Will they try to go back to those days of honest reporting and fair and unbalanced or balance rather, or do you just see this as a continued downward spile.

to begin with. So in my book, not in our town I tell a story within the story of the Inquirer newsroom with composite people as characters to a show how the newsrooms became increasingly political and increasingly driven by agendas and increasing The editors didn't have the backbone to stand up against this and say stick to the news because they would get replaced, as happens in newsrooms by people coming up out of college in the seventies from

the Love generation who wanted to change the world by corrupting the institutions to fit their worldview.

that famous case at the Capitol. Rible, right, it was just horrible. Well, these settlements, they're huge, and that does get the publishers and the media's attention to say, that's a great Wait a minute, so finally, in.

Jeff knows all about that. He called ahead of time, my friend, Jeff Gret, my greatest little He's gonna send me an email here any second out of the big smiley face on it, because he still is happy about the fact that he's saved thirty one hundred dollars when he got a CT scan because he took my advice and went to the place with really low overhead but nothing else different than the hospital imaging department that's affordable imaging services, where that's CT scan cost him six hundred

dollars if he got the contrast anyway, if he got one without the contrast, it was four hundred and fifty bucks. And yes, that price includes the board certified radiologist report. But he call it ahead of the time. The hospital told him his out of pocket was going to be thirty one hundred dollars. That's right after medical insurance. You see,

it doesn't have to be that way. Go ahead, you call your hospital imaging department when your doctor orders the MRI, the CT scan, the echo cardigram ultrasound or lung screening or cardiac scoring, and they got to let you know, make sure you get all the bills too, because they may not give you separately. Tell you that the board certified radiologists report. Oh, by the way, that's going to

say back an extra five hundred or whatever. But Affordable Imaging Services, each of the scans comes with the radiologists report. You and your doc will both get that within forty eight hours. I've been there, I got a CT scan there. I saved money myself, so I put my money where my mouth is and you can too. But you get to keep most of it because you went to Affordable imaging Services.

could go to a Sin Saint council meeting. I could listen, I could observe, I could write down the facts. I could write down quotes. I could come and put it on any literally any site I want, which is fulfilling the responsibility of or the job title of a journalist.

And what bothers me in you mentioned it before it started in the early seventies when the old schools started getting replaced by the new people, the free speech movement people, the students for Democratic Society people, the ones who got a liberal, left wing biased journalism degree and took that out into the world and then started interjecting their own political philosophy into it, which rubbed a lot of us the wrong way anyway. But that was the product of

having gone through journalism school. Absolutely. Now, what possible benefit or what point is there to journalism school? If I can do everything a journalist, what does that journalism degree give me? If I said I want to be a reporter? Now aren't I a reporter simply by doing and fulfilling the role that I just mentioned, Or do I lack some sort of credential or credibility or something like a path that I need to get in any given space. What's the story on this?

In other words, it was all part of credentialism. So once upon a time, being a reporter was a trade, and you just needed to have a high good high school education in English, be able to write on deadline and put together a sentence, and adhere to the professional standards, which were fairness, honestly, the tell both sides, be thorough, all of those things that we don't see anymore.

There are very few I'd actually worked in the trade like newspapers or coming up through the ranks.

So that gradually became so blurred because the reporters were not content to have opinions on the editorial page that they couldn't Rebut so if you had a conservative editorial page, you had reporters out there working to undermine and answer that like a letter to the editor and their columns and their and their stories. And now we don't even have editorial pages because really the news side took over the function.

things are flying around. Now we can eliminate some of them as genuine aircraft. I get it. Flying at night aircraft have lights on them, but not all of them, and some of them are flying around some sensitive areas, and a lot of people were recalling the Chinese balloom that Biden let fly all the way over our country before shooting it down and thinking that there may be something really nefarious going on. What is your collective take on this column.

don't believe you're lying. Eyes just just believe the friendly federal agencies and the Pentagon who will definitely tell the truth.

swarmed by fifteen to twenty drones. And these are not you know, when people hear about this story for the first time, they tend to think of, you know, small consumer or prosumer drones, you know, things that kind of blur the lines between commercial and consumer.

data collections. I mean, there's got to be a reason they build them that big, and that's so they can carry around something that's really really big or be useful for something beyond just filming the ground below it.

about certain things. They're super sure. We shouldn't worry about it, right, Not foreigners, they're.

radiation or other things. That's what drones do. So if you want to know why there's drones flying around these coasts, they're doing drone.

to to start talking conspiracy theories. But when they don't speak and they say something stupid like we have no idea who runs them, who owns them, where they come from, but we know you have nothing to worry about, that is the factual void that immediately invites these conspiracy theories. It's almost as if they want us to have them.

You know, we've certainly been in a factual void for the last four years, if not, if not longer than that. But yeah, you know, nature.

is you can't really trust that. I think conservatives right now are tending the write off that these may be foreign controlled But you just got to go look at that Chinese spy balloons and the government was very lackadaisical. They let them gather intelligence across our whole country and then they finally shot it down after it gathered and

transmitted all the intelligence that wanted. So, you know, one message I would have to everybody is, although there's a you know, there's a lot of circumstanceal evidence saying these are US drones, don't discount then angle because our current government doesn't seem to be interested in stopping foreign people from doing bad stuff to America.

puts his own credibility on the line for making that utterance. Uh, you know it's I don't believe it for a moment, but it just sounds preposterous, but preposterous enough in these you know, factually devoid times that you know, maybe some people out there going, no, that's what it is. It's an Iranian mothership. Okay, how how how is it Iran in not North Korea or Russia or someone who has even the more greater capability of pulling that off China, who basically has done it before.

doesn't really hang out in the Atlantic Ocean. That's suddenly they have a mother ship, right, Yeah, you know that one thing that happens, and this is just my opinion is, you know, when we have these situations that are fast moving with low amounts of facts, you get people who have a vested interest in, say us, you know, getting into a hot whar with Iran or you know, painting Iran as a bad guy. They find opportunities to reach

out to folks and plant these stories. And that happens because of the you know the fact that there's the government is either lying or just not telling you know, the facts of the situation. And it's so fast moving, and these guys have their phones ringing off the hooks because you know, from everyone from constituents to state and local officials saying you got to get us answers on this so well, and you know sometimes they bark up the wrong tree.

I would want to know. God, there's nuclear wasts out there, at least our government officials have the wherewithought to send up a bunch of drone that can scan for nuclear ways then look for it. I mean, where's the downside in giving us that information?

have drones to search around. But you still get a huge level of comfort and you dispell a lot of the hysteria when you say, these are our drones, we're doing operations, and we don't believe you.

I'm going, oh, geez, you know, I mean, the world's fallen apart, and that's what you and I talk about from a military standpoint, and I certainly appreciate your insight in this regard. But it was just yesterday my son brought over a video of this intense explosion in the Tartis region. Apparently the Israelis dropped a bunch of bombs and it looked like and my son and the immediate rumors on the internet were swirling that looked like maybe a small nuke had gone off. And when you're talking

about World War three, start now. The Russians, of course have nukes. We know the Israelis do. We know the Iranians probably do or in any event, then I see your headline with this putin the West pushing us to our red lines, and when you're dealing with a nuclear power, that red line certainly could potentially involve nuclear weapons. So I am very interested in hearing what you have to say about this one. Yeah, it's there.

range weapons inside of Russia two hundred kilometers deep inside. Trump, for his side, also made reference to the same thing, and he said, I don't think it's a good idea, and I think.

going to accomplish much. You've already talked about how they can be shot down by Russia's version of the drone system, and they have. They come at an amazing cost. They're millions and millions of dollars of pop. This isn't like throwing a drone is something. So with all that in mind, what in the hell is Biden trying to accomplish by even allowing them to be used or having our people operate them?

is exactly zero chance of that happening. All it's going to do is increase the cost in personnel, blood and treasure for the Ukraine side to lose because it's already baked in the war.

engaged in actual combat. But that the North Koreans that were there actually ended up firing upon and taking out some of the Russian troops. I hate to have to laugh at that, but I don't know if you saw that, or whether any credibility to that reporting.

what he's claiming. And that's that's why I'm so aggravated about it, because guys who serve in uniform like I did, are the bill payers for this, and that's one of the things I pointed out in that show there, that there have been tens of thousands of Americans killed and wounded in these absurd wars that most of which didn't even need to be fought.

great celebration. I wish in early happy New Year, and we'll hit the ground running after the first. Same to you, my friend.
