55KRC Tuesday Show - Steve Goodin, Breitbart, Daniel Davis

Steve Gooden, the return of Steve Gooden. We just had him on recently talking about some lawsuits and today he's going to put on his Charter Committee hat, which is

asking for the full repeal of Connected Communities. Steve got involved with that, but Charter Committee Greater Cincinnati unanimously voted to demand a full repeal the Connected Community's zoning legislation which was pushed through which they say without any meaningful community input, which it was pointing out that will lead to unregulated development, increased teardowns, and growing congestion while ignoring

the real needs of neighborhoods. According to their announcement, the Charter Committee is of Greater Cincinaty calls for the wholesale repeal of the so called Connected community zoning legislation. So Steve Gooden, our lawyer friend, providing insight and analysis on the Charter Committee and what connected communities really is and why they're arguing it should be repealed. Inside scoop. But it is Tuesday, we get the inside scoop with bright

Bart News Today. Aw R. Hawkins, the second Amendment guy from bright Bart gonna be talking about Mexican president threatening lawsuits that the cartels are labeled terrorists. Let that sink in. If you think about Mexico, The problem with Mexico is

the cartels pretty much run everything. And if you're a politician that wants to eradicate the crime and the murders and the chaos and everything else those cartels bring about and of course undermining the Mexico's ability to rise up and improve itself, they stand in the way at every turn. And if you're a politician that runs to eradicate them or otherwise deal with their corruption and all the death and dismemberment that they are responsible for, they kill you.

We want to try to stop that. We want to try to stop the cartels from well bringing fentanyl into our country. We want to stop the cartels from human trafficking, most notably children being used as sex slaves and being ferried into our country for the purposes of pedophiles in our country. There's a special place in Hell for each and every one of you. But she threatening lawsuits against gun makers if the cartels are designated as terrorist groups. I'm sorry, can you connect point A to point B

on that one? They manufacture firearms, What someone does with the firearm after it ends up in a retail establishment or is otherwise lawfully purchased on the market is beyond their control. Are they going to stop manufacturing something that well, their business thrives upon that. They're in the business to do blets a gun, Yeah, it is, and guns can be used for rope quite lawful purposes. It's the great equalizer. Point that out all the time, and I'm the first

person to do that. Look. Oh from AWR Hawkins over on Bike Part A juvenile reportedly retrieved a handgun this over the weekend Manchester, Kentucky, shot and killed two armed intruders. Well, it looks like an effective use of a handgun into pretty dangerous situations, and a juvenile was able to well equalize the situation when fifty one year old Jeffrey Allen and forty four year old Roger Smith entered the home with the intent to steal guns out of a safe.

According to Kentucky State Police, they're dead now. Happened about four point thirty in the morning when they forced their way into the home. W KYT report of the juvenile, who was home at the times shot. Both of the men escaped through a bedroom window. Forty four year old I'm sorry, fifty one year old Jeffrey Allen. He died at the scene. The Smith guy died after being taken to the hospital. Police calling the juvenile's action self defense. Huh,

how about that. Let's sue the gun manufacturers for providing the juvenile an opportunity to defend himself and his family from very dangerous intruders who broke into their home. Let's sue the gun manufacturers, so you have a good illustration of why a gun is an important thing to have

in that case. In that particular case, I'm guessing the firearm was lawfully purchased, was in the home, So we'll ignore that one where the firearm and the purchase of the firearm actually achieved one are the intended results, which is providing you an opportunity to defend yourself from bad guys. Now, had that firearm been illegally transferred and taken across the southern border, did the firearm manufacturer have anything to do

with that? If someone uses a firearm to go out and commit an active murder, was that at the direction of the firearm manufacturer? Of course not. But moving away from that logic and reason, the firearm manufacturer is not responsible for the ultimate end user and whether or not they use it for lawful purposes or for criminal purposes, it's beyond their control. It doesn't make the firearm itself illegal.

We have a second amendment, right, thank you. But moving over to the topic we're talking about aw with a W. R. Hubbins, the Mexican president is going to sue firearm manufacturers, not period end of comment, which other states and others have tried to do unsuccessfully. I might add, be for the reasons that I just mentioned, but because we as a country are going to designate the criminals that are the car tells terrorist organizations and look at the definition of

a terrorist organization. I mean, what the cartels, given the activity that they engage in regularly, fall square within it. I'm surprised prior administrations haven't already done that. That's you know, I'm just okay. We got other topics to talk about with aw are at a five ah Daniel Davis deep dive of Europe ready for Russia, Ukraine ceasefire and the United Kingdom ready to support the ceasefire. And it does look like Trump's going on his own and endeavoring to

shore up some peace there. Over to Europe, jd Vance called Germany's free speech restrictions Orwellian this yesterday, say the other European countries should join the United States and rejecting their Orwellian free speech laws. What free speech laws, let's dive into them. This is insane. I'm glad I live in a country that has a Second Amendment right to keep in bare arms. I'm also glad I live in a country that has a First Amendment right to free speech,

a free exercise, and freedom of assembly. So we go over to sixty minutes. Apparently German prosecutors and you don't know them, I imagine, unless you're really keeping close track to who's prosecutors in Germany? Anyway, Three clowns called Savenja Meninghause, Matt House Fink, and Frank Michael Lau on sixty minutes discussing their country's new speech laws, which are in their criminal statutes, and they all confirm that insulting someone in

public and online is a crime in Germany. Can you imagine if it was criminal behavior in this country to insult somebody, Joe, I think you and I'd be in jail. According to one of the prosecutors, mister Fink, the fine could be even higher if you insult someone on the Internet. Follow this line of reasoning, please, because with the Internet, it stays there. And I got to pause and reflect on that, because the Left and the Democrats are having a real struggle with the Internet and some of the

comments they previously made, most notably related to Doge. They hate doads, they hate the idea that Elon Musk is farting out fraud, waste and abuse, and yet many of them are literally on record as demanding the ferreting out of fraud, waste and abuse, including the former president Joe Biden. I'll get to that anyway. Because of the Internet, it stays there. Good point. If we are talking here face to face and you insult me and I insult you, okay, finish.

But if you're on the Internet and I insult you or a politician. He actually did a subcategory to underscore the fact that politicians cannot be insulted. But if you're on the Internet, I and soul you or a politician, it's there forever report of the punishments for breaking Germany's speech laws include prison time for repeat offenders. Apparently, the prosecutors explain that German law prohibits what they call malicious gossip, violent threats, and fake quotes. So when I read fake quotes,

I think of like memes and comedy. They say, anyone who reposts a post that is not true is also committing a crime. According to the prosecutor Mettinghouse. In the case of reposting, it is a crime as well, because the reader cannot distinguish whether you invented this or reposted it. That's the same for us. I I'm just and and Vance is in trouble now, at least among some circles. They're being critical of JD. Vance for defending free speech and suggesting that Europe shouldn't go down that road.

purposes of making an open environment to exchange thoughts and ideas. Yes, you are going to be insulted on Twitter, perhaps, but you know what, you can say something back. You can offer a more well logical and reasonable argument in the face of some nonsensical comment someone makes. That's the free exercise of your speech. That is the exchange of ideas. It's an open forum to hopefully come up with the best possible solution through the free exchange. But they don't

want that. You think woke ideology is wrong. You think telling you boys that they can be girls in spite of the fact they can look down and say, oh, look, twiggingberries. But I'm still a girl, really suppressing the counter argument to that. No, you're not even X and Y chromosome. You also have a Johnson so you can't be a girl. You're not a girl. Now, we all recognize that in your head, and I think there's a DSM five diagnosis for this. That you truly believe you're a girl. I

can accept that all day long. That is what you think in your head. I think of anorexics who are just skin and bones, who literally look in the mirror and literally see see a fat person. They're not definitionally fat, they are objectively skinny, yet in their mind they see fat. I understand that complex. I don't deny that that's what they see, and through therapy perhaps they can overcome that. And I know a lot about anexity because I dated

one for quite some time. It's not fun, but to exchange the idea and to talk about no chromosomally speaking and well biologically speaking, there are two sexes. Suppress that message, remove it from Facebook, remove it from Twitter now x that's what our government was doing. And JD Vance gets in trouble for calling out the European Union for engaging in those types of endeavors. I think he's onto something five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifty two three talk

time five fifty on AT and T phones. Stick around. I'll be right back.

we'll taper off overnight. If the High River could go over the flood stage, they're calling it fifty three point four feet pretty precise, thirst excuse me partly, clydest guy's on Thursday, a high at twenty three. Let's see here my disappearing temperature seventeen degrees right now. If it's a five KARCDCAU station five twenty four, if it's five KAROSEE talk station. I was looking at this delta flight ended up on its back. How did the plane flip over.

I've seen four or five articles over and you may have seen the footage, or rather the aftermath. Anyway, I haven't seen video of how it actually ended upside down, but wow, what divine intervention that no one was killed in that. I just wanted to how it ended up on it's back. And they're already the left screaming that it's Donald Trump's fault. Don't you love? Don't you love that Donald Trump caused that plane wreck, just like he caused that Blackhawk helicopter to collide into a plane over

in DC. Yeah, it's all his fault. Five twenty five five K City Talk station. Feel free to call. I do have local stories to dive on into it, but I'd rather talk to you. Got a comment maybe in observation five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk time five fifty on AT and T founds.

of twelve twelve degrees. Thursday is going to be a part with Thotty Day with a high of twenty three. Right now it's nine fifteen degrees here fifty five KERCV talk stations and a happy Tuesday to you five one, three seven nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk prop to the Northern Kentucky Young Marines. I just got an email yesterday from Lynn Arnold, who's with the Young Marines, and she brought in the Young Marine

of the Year, and what an impressive young lady. She was. Unbelievable. Her speaking ability, her intellect, her knowledge, her discipline just

just springs from the Young Marines. And if you are interested in the Northern Kentucky Young Marines or doing a recruit training session, they said, according to Lynn, if you know anybody age eight to eighteen who may be interested in joining us, because there's been extra interest in the program recently, and I hope we here on the fifty five Carsy Mornings, that'll be Joe Strecker and me had some influence over folks because this is an absolutely amazing organization.

So if you're interested in it, I'm happy to share the news about this Saturday, February twenty second, one thirty in the afternoon at Marshall Shildmeyer VFW Post sixty ninety five. That's in Latonia, Kentucky, three forty three East forty seventh Street, Covington. Interested youth plus a parent or guardian must attend an informational session before signing up for recruit training. So there you have it. Maybe I'll forward this to Joe. You see if we can add it to the fifty five

Casey Morning Show page. Just I mean impressive. If you want your young person to be an upstanding citizen, have decency, respect, discipline, honor, that's the organization you need to get your young person involved with. So Nky Youngmarnes dot com for the details on that. Anyway, I always promote Matthew twenty five Ministries because I know a dollar given is a dollar that's going to end up in the hands of those who

need it. When it comes to charitable work. Now, if you go with something like uh, United Way, a little bit of overhead, there big salaries being paid. Matthew twenty five doesn't go down that road, and their ministry is actively working to aid those affected by the deadly floods in Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Of course they are all that rainfall over the weekend resulted eleven fatalities, flooded numerous communities, thousands of people without homes, other essential items

including electricity and flowing water. Matthew twenty five asking for the following donations for restocking during the response for possible and they're for the and for future disasters as well. Following items accepted at their facility eleven eighty three Kenwood Road, Blue Ash. Just look M two. I think it's M twenty five, M dot com or dot org if I remember correctly. I don't quote me on that, but just look up Matthew twenty five ministries and your search engine.

You'll find them what they need. Cases of bottle water, personal care products like antibacterial soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, as shampoo, body washed jyodorant, lotion, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, general cleaners, sponges, bleach powdered form is preferred, they say, mops, scrubbrushes, buckets, rubber gloves, and things in that various categories. Use your imagination.

Paper products like toilet paper, paper, towels, baby and infant supplies, divers, wipes, stiper rash ointment, baby wash, baby shampoo, and baby loation. First aid items such as bandages, gozepad, first aid tape, aniseptic cream, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, latex, glove instance, cold packs, candles and flashlights. Cleanup supplies, protective eyewar like work gloves, trash bags, etc. And I imagine this is not an exhaustive list that I just read off from Matthew twenty five.

So if you're in a position to help out and you want your aid to go to victims, Matthew twenty five, that is the place. Uh Sincinni Fraternal Order, Police and the CINCINNTI Firefighters Union Local forty eight filed complaints against the city Community Response Initiative. Unions allege the City of Cincinnati Community Responder program violates their collective bargaining agreement court.

To FOP president Ken Kober, speaking with Fox nineteen, thank you Ali Hearnard for reporting it's a danger to the public. He said, These folks clearly don't have the training police officers do, but they have them going out and trying to engage in those activities. Police and the firefighters are opposing CINCINNTI Emergency Communications Center Community Responder program cour to

the City of Cincinnati. Community responders initial cap on that we're reresponsible for non emergency issues reported a three one one to nine to one one that do not require a police officer's response. I'm trying to process how they figure out what does and does not require a police officer. In August last year, since any FOP said set, a

cease and desist order was sent to the city. Cobert explained the city that this was to let city officials know that if they wanted to go through with the initiative, they would have to negotiate with the police and firefighters' union. Cober said they didn't do that. City went ahead with a program allowing community responder, a city employee, to respond instead of a police officer to non emergency calls for service. The intent to free up police to handle more urgent incidents.

The end of October last year, Cincinnti FOP filed an unfair labor practice complaint against the city. Cober said the initiative has been a problem since it began. At the end of twenty twenty four and the last January, the city firefighters union sent a cease and desist letter as well as the city manager, claiming that their members had

lost their bargaining unit work. A statement from union chief Joe Elliott since fire Fighters Union Local forty eight Philly supports initiative initiative innovative rather solutions to improve public safety, but not at the expense of the well being of our community or the effectiveness of our emergency response system. Ohio State Deployment Relations Board, responding to the complaint, deciding on mediation between the FOP and the city for a resolution.

When asked for comment Fox nineteen, you get a response. Got a couple of callers online. You folks will be first before I get to the stack and stupid and I'm happy to hear from you. Don't go away. It's five point thirty five here fifty five KRC detalk station.

accountability for that one. Also, the number of houses on the market in the Greater DC area has skyrocketed as well, bringing the home values down a little bit because apparently there is an excess supply given the number of people leaving the area. So there you have it. My fellow automotive loving friends know what a Ford GT is. So we have a four GT owner in Boca Raton, Florida. Of course Boca Raton. They got money there. Crashed his

recently purchased GT into a tree. Happened Friday evening because, according to police, he was unfamiliar with how to I have a stick shift. Idiots idiot, because they're idiots. Accord to the report, fifty year old Robert Garani told police officers he lost control after down shifting while leaving his housing development at six pm, leading to a head on

collision with a palm tree. The car is a mess, I might point out, told a nearby security worker he did not have his cell phone with him, seeing he'd ride back to his house and called the authorities VL Landline, so that was his excuse for leaving the scene of an accident. The police report said. He told officers. The crash was caused by inexperience with the manual transmission. He said.

Also old tires, muddy pavement and fresh detailing were all factors costing the five better than fifty horsepower supercar to swing out of control and run into a palm tree. Driver told Roadent Track that the crash occurred as he shifted up into second gear from first, not well down shifting as the official report states. He says, I don't want people to think I was racing at ninety miles per hour. I was going thirty five, yeah, just as I think the car even goes thirty far gods thirty

five miles per hour park. According to Joe Let's you're probably right on that job. Let's see here litigation myth

number twenty seven. Your claim must have merit. New Jersey man wife was killed in a hippopotamus attack last year during a safari in Africa, is now soon the US company that arranged for the trip, alleging had failed to ensure their safety, did not adequately screen and supervise the tour guides, Craig Lisa Manders on a guided walk and Zambia in June, when a hippo charged out of the water, grabbed Lisa by its mouth and crushed her head and body with a bite that in the lawsuit filed against

Africa Portfolio, the safari tour company based in Greenwich, Connecticut. They denied the lawsuit's allegations. Of course, lawsuit filed in Standford, Connecticut, alleged at a horrified Craig Manders had to watch the attack. The tour guides, including at least one armed with a rifle, walked away without helping the couple. Lisamanders, who was seventy at the time, suffered catastrophic injuries and died shortly thereafter.

Attorney representing Craig, we're doing this because this should never have happened. There were basic safety standards the businesses are expected to follow, and that includes people in the safari tour industry, and those were not followed and the consequences here absolutely devastating, said The lawsuits seeking monetary damages that have not yet been determined, as well as accountability for Lisa Manders's death. There are on a special anniversary trip

first time they went to Africa. She worked in the financial industry. The company's lawyer said it was not negligent or reckless in connection with her death. He said African Portfolio only arranged the couple's lodging and the owners of the lodging provided the tour guides. They had no connection with it. In other words, they said it was a tragedy. But listen, it ain't our fault. It's like my comments about the handgun industry.

tear lawsuits, get to fire our manufacturers. If we label the most evil forces in Mexico as terrorists. What interest does the Mexican President have in concerning themselves or herself with us labeling them terrorists? It seems to me it might help her out, like a poll of the Mexican citizenry to see if they have a problem with that

and our efforts to stop the cartels from their nefarious actions. Anyway, we got other topics to talk about with aw R. Hawkins plus Daniel Davis Deep dive, and Trump going alone with Vladimir Putin trying to resolve the Ukrainian War. Many in Europe not real happy about that for reasons unknown of course, and also the United Kingdom apparently ready to support a cease fire. Why would they be against that Anyhow, before we move on to the topics, I got Mississippi

James on the phone. James, thanks for holding over the brake. It's always good to hear from you, my friend.

get rid of it. And the guy was on duty, you know. He said all that. Then he immediately pivot to oh, yeah, let's get to Hamilton County, Lisa Reese and Dumas. He said they were stirring the pot. And I'm just listening at that interview, it doesn't sound like, you know, hey, let's see where the investigation go. It was like it was damaged controlled, So that sounds suspicious. But we'll see what Ms McGuffey say this morning at the press conference.

Nazis speaking their mind about their stupid philosophy. But one of the people who actually had an interaction with them, a friend of Christopher Smithman named Eric, called me up and said, you know, they were out in the street and they approached me with a bullhorn and were calling me. I think it was the N word. They were screaming

at him. So if they were out in the middle of the street, that was a detail that wasn't widely reported when the incident first happened, because all the reports in the newspaper said these guys were on the sidewalk, which they're allowed to peaceably assemble on the sidewalk, So

should a citation have been issued. I don't know, but if Eric's reaction or interaction with those folks is accurate, and I have no reason to doubt him, then maybe that was something that they could have been cited for, which is walking out in the middle of traffic and impeding the flow of the traffic. But you can go back, A lot of organizations were engaged in that kind of behavior. Nobody got arrested or cited for that in the past. So are we picking and choosing who were going to

cite and who were not. I know law enforcement does that often, and I, like you, James, am willing to wait for the fact to come out, and so far it's a bit foggy. I think you'll agree. Okay, all right, yes, sir, you're good man. James, thanks for calling. I just get a big kick out. He listened to the fifty five cassing Morning Show of Mississippi. We'll look forward to having you back in town when the weather warms up. You're in a good spot as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, Oh,

I love this some local stories. I didn't get to this, but I want to let you know it's pothole season. Apparently. Elizabeth Kim from the Inquirer, and nowhere in the reporting is Sunset Avenue mentioned. Regular listeners know that it is my favorite favorite pet peeve. That road is in absolutely atrocious shape, and it's been that way as long as I can remember, and people keep telling me it only gets worse. Fortunately, I don't have to travel on that

road very often. It's usually when we have listened to lunch at Price Hill Chili or maybe Chandler's Burger Bistro. Hello to the folks at Chandler's, I miss you, parenthetically. March First Brewery is the next listener lunch, which takes place on March fifth. Don't confuse the dates or the location, and it's the March first on East Kemper and across

from that Kids First. Anyway, Apparently, within the past six weeks, pothole related service requests to the City of Cincinnati are up forty six percent over the same period last year. According to the inquire analysis, Thank you Elizabeth Kim for reporting city has six hundred and seventy two more pothole related complaints this year compared to the first month of

last year. A spokesperson was interviewed by the by the Inquiry Southwest Ohio District of the state's Department of Transportations, Kathleen Fuller said, well, we do see a lot more pothole complaints in January and February because of the weather. Of course, the freezing thaw cycle crosses a problem, and according to the reporting, the apartment tries to get a crew out to brace yourself for the laughter for those folks living in neighborhoods that have had potholes that have

not been addressed for a long time. Tries to get cruis out within twenty four hours of you reporting them. They said, the weekends are likely to be slower. They do a cold mix fix in the winter until crews can follow up with a more permanent fix in warmer months. Sure, they will use an online form to report damage to your car. Anyone traveling on sunset, do you think you

really have an avenue to get your car repaired? The Ohio Court of Claims will determine whether or not you will be reimbursed, and if the decision is in your favor, you get payment within six to eight weeks of the judgment. As noted, the High Department of Transportation only maintains the interstate route and state and federal routs outside of municipalities, so you'll need to call your local authorities for local streets,

county roads, and township roads. So pivoting over to Cincinnati, here you go and make use of this and see what happens. I'd love to find out if they actually respond to your complaints. It's three one one one sinceywy dot com, three one one since since he dot Com. Or call three to one one to request the pothole repair or a car damage reimbursement. They say, make sure you have your insurance damage claims ready, so report it to your insurance company that you fell into a pothole.

Have that paperwork with you, and then again three one one since you with y dot com or call three one one see if you can get reimbursed in the meantime. As Fuller said, it's important to I'd love this. It's important to avoid swerving to avoid a pothole, suggesting it's

dangerous for yourself and other drivers. I guess that is if you're not paying attention to the road while you're driving, knowing whether or not there's someone to your left or right when you endeavor to avoid damage to your car, which I'm betting you'll never get reimbursed for. It's also suggested that driving at or below the speed limits, she said, which can help prevent damage when you hit a pothole that you didn't see coming.

Maybe I'm wrong, I tend to think.

He's a good guy and uh Susie Kahan like Swan's a story of her grandparents escape from communist controlled Czecholeislovakia. You can draw some interesting parallels with the direction our country is going and what they went through in Czechoslovakia, with well people dropping a dime on their neighbors who are not well, not thrilled with communism. Hey, thanks to all the comments on my Facebook page about this Maple syrup.

It's a rather interesting thing. We tapped just two trees in our own yard, and if you even have a small yard, you got a sugar maple in it. Damn you can get a lot of sap out of that. And I am telling you it is worth every little bit of effort to tap the trees we got. I was cooking down seven or eight gallons worth of sap and ended up with one quart of maple syrup and it is absolutely amazing. God, just the flavor is just

insanely good. But I got a lot of comments on that, and no, I'm still on a zero to low sugar diet. And thank you Westside Jim Keefer for calling me out about that. A good chef tastes the product before handing it off to friends and family to make sure it meets the equality standards as your reputation is on the line. So I haven't had much of it, and as I commented on Facebook, I really really really do miss pancakes and waffles and stuff like that. But it's worth it

because I feel a lot better. Consider getting sugar out of your diet. You're gonna love this one. While the while the left tries to defend the indefensible. Here you go, you actually worked for this, and you know me, I love pointing it out. It's your labor that is transferred into taxpayer dollars that they steal from you or take from you. Justify it if you will, If you will, I know, we have an amendment that allows for the income tax. Nefarious though it may be dodge identified over

the weekend. Ten million dollars in a world where we talk in trillions these days, and billions seem to be just like a we gloss over because I know that it's insane amounts. Remember, a billion is a thousand stacks of a million, and a trillion is a thousand stacks of a billion. So ten million dollars may not sound like a lot, but when you consider it went to Mozambique for voluntary medical mail circumcisions, how does that make

you feel? Mozambique? And I bet there's a lot of listeners driving around right now or waking up and having their cup of coffee going, wait a minute, where in the hell is Mozambique anyway? But from voluntary mail mail circumcisions, moving on other projects funded by the United States, you working fourteen million dollars for quote improving public procurement in Serbia. Twenty nine million dollars for strengthening political landscape in Bangladesh.

Forty seven million dollars for improving learning outcomes in No, not Baltimore, not Chicago, not anywhere. We have underperforming schools, and our children are being graduate, are receiving high school diplomas when they can't even meet minimum reading or arithmetic standards. Not here. Improving learning outcomes in Asia. Fourteen million dollars

for what they call social cohesion in Mali. Nine point seven million dollars at least in state in the United States going to the University of California, Berkeley, of course, to develop quote a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise driven skills close quote an additional two point three million dollars for quote strengthening independent voices in Cambodia. Joey Shauque up Holiday in Cambodia from the Dead Kennedys in honor of that grant. Forty million allotted to quote gender Equality

and Women Empowerment Hub. Four hundred and eighty six million dollars going to the quote Consortium for Elections and political process strengthening, including twenty two million dollars for inclusive and participatory political process in Moldova plus twenty one million dollars for voter turnout in India. How are you feeling about that? Right now? Go ahead scream at me. Tell me does

is evil? Tell me this money is justified? And in so doing, please explain to me how you can justify spending money for voluntary circumcisions literally anywhere in the world, but most notably Mozambique six twenty six fifty five K see the talk station.

That is a conceivable thought, right, oh, William. But I think ultimately behind all this, the focus on this whole thing, I think is to keep stirring this pot of racial division. And I am not aware of or perceive he's Oh, well, Thomas, you just said it different than everybody else. But you know, have you ever

run into a real Nazi in your life? You ever run into a person who is that diet hard races that they truly believe in the philosophy. It's not just Nazi. I mean Nazism is, you know, the national socialism. And there are a lot of socialists out there in the world, a lot of people that believe in the imperial presidency and the dictatorial nature of the Nazi regime, national socialism, control of the means of economic production by government. Huh.

Which side of the political ledger is in favor of that? Controlling the means of production, not owning it. That's communism, but just controlling it, dictatorial from the top down. We're not talking about that. We're talking in this particular case. People wave in Nazi flex but espousing white supremacy. Do you know anybody who feels that way?

the hammer and sickle. Uh, there was the other types of flags that go with that that type of milk. And I find it ironic that the same police department they're wanting to investigate it's also providing this kind of traffic control. So I'd just like to hear your comment on it. Do you have a good day, sir?

I have a problem with that. If it was there's a licensed, organized protest that they'll advise the council of ahead of time, and they ask for special police, you know, crowd control, then that would be an organized endeavor and I would have less of a problem with it than just some random dudes going through town if the police are helping and facilitating them to get through and holding up the citizenry from getting around and doing their business.

A lot of confusions swirling about all this, and I hate to speculate which Early in the program, Mississippi James called and we're both keeping our popcorn out waiting for the facts to emerge, So I don't understand it. I think everybody wants to assess, blame, and ultimately and fundamentally, it seems to be mostly that these evil forces are showing up and protesting and people don't like it. You

want to stop that from happening. If they are engaging in what can be constituted as a crime, then issue citations for the criminal behaviorate them. The community wants to crack down on this because they can't stop free speed, so U use a mechanism that is at least lawful. And in the absence of a lawful legal mechanism, then you're just going to have to put up with it and maybe quit stirring the pot of division by reminding people that the Nazis showed up and just ignore them

and their stupid message. Everyone else seems to do that in our day to day lives throughout the year. I mean, did anti file really help anybody out there in the world? Was it a good thing that they camped out in cities and shut down neighborhoods and drove businesses out of business? Do is I any view that as a positive? What did they actually accomplish other than to interrupt and bother people. Did their message resonate? Apparently not? Donald Trump got re elected.

How about that? In the face of all this and years of protest, donald Trump won by a significant amount. So no, the message doesn't resonate. And really, quite frankly, if I may be so bold, coming about seven o'clock, it pisses people off. See that's the proper response the note, the anger from the populace at these messages. It's not a favorable, you know, side of the political equation to be on. If you're in one of those groups, you are the extreme minority. Six fifty six fifty five cars

Hawkins, the Second Amendment expert, talking about the preposterous reality that the Mexican President has threatened lawsuits against gun manufacturers if we label cartels as terrorists. I just keep thinking about that as a subject matter topic. How would the Mexican president be against us helping her deal with the Mexican cartels, unless,

of course she's connected with the Mexican cartels. Anyway, got to the topics to talk about with A. W. R. Hawkins. Daniel Davis deep dive on the efforts to settle the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the United Kingdom now ready to support a cease fire. You can feel free to chime in by calling five P one three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk or go with pound five fifty on AT

and T phones. Of course, last hour I pointed out that Doge which is the topic of everybody's conversation these days on the left and right. Left angry about it, of course, independent minded folks, people who think believe in fiscal responsibility, people who don't want to go to work to have their labor rated for the purposes of spending ten million dollars for voluntary medical mail circum circumcisions in Mozambique, one of like nine gajillion allocations we apparently have made.

People who are concerned about the deficit that we've racked up and the interest payments we have on it, and how existential a threat it is to our country's even existence. This is one of those where do you start. Acting head of the Social Security Administration quit her job over the weekend, apparently upset about Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency trying to access sensitive government records. I think it's more about what they uncovered rather than their access to

the records. Maybe she'd wanted to access the records because we find out we're paying Social Security checks to dead people. Washington Post reported three people familiar with Michelle King's departure said she's stepping down from her positions after this purported disagreement. No, probably out of embarrassment for what they revealed. Leland Dudeck was appointed by Trump to lead the agency until Frank Busignano is vetted by lawmakers to take over the position formally.

So and du Deck, for his part, responded positively the doge's efforts to seek out fraud and cut costs across all the federal agencies. DOGE, I guess, did get access to some of the Social Security Administration's information, and it's frightening what they figured out. Musk went to his platform x pointing out that millions of people listened on the Social Security database are recorded as centenarians quote with the

death field set to false. And apparently what that means is if it's set to false, then you don't shut it off because well, someone's one hundred and fifty years old, says, according to Social Security database are then there are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to false. Maybe twilight is real and there are there are a lot of vampires collecting so to

security he's great at trolling. Bottom line, his post has a chart containing the list, pointing out more than twenty million listed with ages one hundred and higher, three point nine million aged one hundred and thirty to one hundred and thirty nine, more than three point five million aged one hundred and forty to one hundred and forty nine, and more than one point three million people one hundred and fifty to one hundred and fifty nine, the count

of people aged one hundred and older on the SOCIA Security database with that prompt false, says there are more than eighty thousand people one hundred years and older. Average death age in this country is like seventy eight. So this is one of those regardless of which side of the political LEDGI you're on, And I like to keep going back to this because Republicans and Democrats, including people in Antifa and people who are die hard communists and

socialists people who are Green Party members. Literally every human being in this country is somehow connected to the Social Security system. If they're employed, of course you get taxed in your check. If you're paying into the social Security system, many people are relying on it, or at least have this perception they're going to be relying on that as their sole means of income during retirement. And the Congressional Budget Office has been screaming for decades now that the

system is wrecked and it's like a sinking ship. Gee, I wonder why, and you're upset that. Elon Musk says that the painful part out loud, and it's not even painful. This is something can be easily corrected. Listen if you're over and figure out just pick a random number, find out who the oldest living person in America is. Let's say they're one hundred and five, and just cut off any payment to someone who's over one hundred and five and see if they come knock and saying, where's my

Social Security check? I'm one hundred and fifteen years old and I rely on this to live. Is that so difficult a task? Is this not such an obvious area for fraud? Waste? And abuse. I mean, this is the and they and the left is screaming and angry about Doughes having access to this information, where literally tens of thousands of the folks just within the irs have access to this information. Where in the hell was Michelle King and stopping this thing from from well, this from happening.

Maybe that's why she quit her job, because she knew the bad news was coming. Because Elon Musk cannot be stopped. And I thought it rather comical. White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt put together a montage video footage showing former Democratic presidents plural calling for the exact same thing that Doge is doing. Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden all in the video. In the video, Obama and Biden can be seen calling for budget reform and combating government

ways what Doge is doing. Quote Barack Obama, we can't sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars that have outlived their usefulness or exists solely for the power of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups. I think it's funny to use the word outlive given the fact that we're just now talking about people who there's no way they can still be alive and yet maybe be receiving a Social Security check. Biden in the video when he was

Vice president of the Obama administration. Americans are, in his words, entitled to accountability to make sure we're using the dollars for what we said it was for. Did anyone sign up for ten million dollars to go to circumcisions voluntary

in Mozambique? Obama in the following clip. In the video, they have a montage of these like I mentioned, get We're gonna go through our federal budget line by line, eliminating these programs we don't need and ensuring that those we do need operate in a sensible, cost effective way. One of the problems that dog is uncovered. The money is handed out, but no one follows up to see if any of these programs, including the circumcisions in Mozambique,

were actually performed. Ah, just give them ten million dollars. They say they're gonna do circumcisions for voluntary people who stand in alone want to get a circumcision. Just go ahead and give them money. Did that actually happen? You don't know, and our elected officials don't know. There in lies the challenge Obama wanted to get to the bottom

of it. Did it happen? Apparently. In another part of the video, Obama discusses elimiting unnecessary spending, while Biden talks about his and Obama's efforts to instill an entirely new culture that every succeeding administration will hopefully follow, a culture of eradicating fraud, wasted abuse in government. Well, finally we got a president that's willing to make good of the challenges on the promises of Bill Clinton, Brock Obama, and Joe Biden. And they're pulling their hair out over it.

Deb you don't mind holding for a moment. I just looked up at the clock. Sorry. I'll be right back, though, and I'll be happy to take your call as soon as I get back. And I want you to heed my strong recommendation and get in touch with John Rowman and the team at Cover Sinsey. It's amazing what they can do. And I love citing my friend Jeff because it automatically results in an email response from him with three big smiley faces. Because he is a happy man

singing the praises of Cover Sinsey. Because he's got a small business, and his insurance was really expensive. Employees s griping about it because he did what most everybody else does. They just call some or follow some random insurance company. Har just work with me, have three choices and Hmoppo and that's it. No, it's not it work with Cover sinsy. He improved the rooman and the team of Cover since he improved his business is bottom line independent of insurance.

But by working in a different way and viewing insurance differently, on behalf of their client this particular case, it's Jeff, he was able to save Jeff's business tens of thousands of dollars and get his employees superior medical coverage that his employees love. He went back to the well and called up John about dental as well as vision coverage. He was so happy. So get an email here in a second, so that if you're a small employer, this

is just a must for you. And if you're one of those employers who doesn't have medical insurance for your employees because you find it's not affordable, oh, it is better coverage dollar one coverage for regular basic medical services you get throughout the year, and for less money. Couples like for example, get in touch with John, saving thirty to sixty percent on their medical insurance with better covers. That's because John and the team work with hundreds of

insurance companies, thousands of different types of insurance policies. They put a package together tailored to the individual, and the service is free. Call them up. You'll be glad you did give them all the information you can. When you fill out the form online and coversincey dot com. They'll get right on the job and they'll get right back to you.

I think merely because they're still listed as alive in the Social Security database doesn't necessarily mean a check is going out. I don't know, because I don't know how the Social Security Administration works. But obviously, given the work that they're doing, the follow up questions will be asked, like, huh, let's see if we can trace this address. Let's see who this alleged one hundred and fifty year old person is.

If it is reflected that they are receiving money from the Social Security Administration, then we're going to go knock on a few doors. You got to wait for that. That's a long process. Given that he found twenty million people over the age of one hundred, that's a lot of work to do.

Appreciate you tuning into the morning show. Let us see here I can give you one more US Department of Education announced yesterday, it's terminating six hundred million in grants for teacher training programs, including what one is called dismantling racial bias and another one centering equity in the classroom. While our children fail no longer capable of doing mathematics or reading at any grade level and being issued a collor a high school deploy after failing basic standardized testing

for years and years. This is where the money is going. And apparently this is what our children being taught, taught in lieu of reading and mathematics, in lieu of critical thinking skills, which might cause some to reject some of the theories that they're pushing down our children's throats. Cancel grants went to institutions and let's read this word non profits using the taxpayer funds too. In their words, trained

teachers and education agencies divisive ideologies. Some of the trading materials were on far left topics like critical race theory, d EI those words or letters again, social justice activism, instructions on white privilege and white supremacy. See, you got to feed it into the minds of young people. They look around, and you know, I grew up in a world and I perceived it to be racially diverse and

open and welcome to people. You know, sort of Martin Luther King's content of character not color of skin kind of thing. You didn't approach someone and immediately draw a conclusion about who they are or what they're all about merely based upon how they look. You met them and interacted with them, and then decided whether they were a jerk or not. But if you go to school and they teach you that the world is lopsided against you, they're all out to get you, then of course you're

going to look to the government for a solution. Fifty five K Steve Talk Station, Jim apologize out of time, going to get to Steve Good in the next segment.

It's always a real pleasure having you on the show. Good morning, sir. So you have your Charter Committee hat on.

everyone agrees with. I mean, I think that we need more taxpayers, we need more people living in the city. It's how you go about it that is the problem. So we have these new rabid transit bus lines that will be coming on through much of the city in the coming year, running all the major corridors such as up through Clifton Avenue, Hamilton Avenue, at the Reading Road corridor, through almost the entire city, most of the West Side.

And the idea here is that there will be basically no zoning requirements at all within four blocks of either side of these gigantic bus lines, which will encompass most of the city. No height requirements, no parking requirements, no garages, no anything. And the idea is to encourage multifamily kind of middle housing, lower end multi family construction.

seeing a kind of pre connected communities. Version of this happened in Hyde Park Square, where the neighbors are looking at this and saying, you know, we moved here and bought these houses and invested a significant amount of our resources and savings into our homes. We're raising our families here, and now you're building these modern things with no parking, adding to congestion and totally changing the way our neighborhood works and looks, and we don't want it.

a uniquely local issue. It's a local screw up. It's something that cuts across all party lines, and it's a great classic Charter third party issue for us because it goes to transparency, consent of the governed, and just really it's the idea of zoning is not a particularly sexy issue, but let me tell you it is motivating people across the city right now. It is horrible news. If you're a homeowner.

of twenty three. It's fifteen right now and it is traffic time.

rising river. Chuck Ingram on fifty five krc DE Talk Station.

that's the first question, Steve. You predicated this whole rezoning of all the communities on the idea, it's going to have this particular bus route going through it, so the folks in these dense housing projects will have ability to take that bus because it is on the bus route. Now is that to suggest, all right, I'm curious to know if down the road they expand these bus routes, would that then expand the connected commun Unities program.

the idea here. But I think that's also one of the great failings of this concept, which it just assumes that people who are going to move into these houses are going to ride the bus forever. I mean, we know from other cities that have tried similar schemes out of the Northwest that people are aspirational, they want they want cars. I mean, cars are accessed so much more economic opportunities for people. They allow you to look at different kinds of jobs, and people aren't going to stop

wanting cars. So even if you're in a part of your life where you're going to want to live in one of these again market rate but lower end sort of houses, our apartment buildings and live near a bus line of riding the bus, you might you're going to want to car some day, You're going to want to grow into that. It kind of takes away the whole economic mode of people have of working.

to build these dense housing. But if you're going to be able to live in hyde Park Square, that doesn't necessarily that doesn't mean that the place that they're building isn't going to be really comparatively outrageously expensive.

think that's a false assumption. But our coalition that are opposed, that is opposing this thing is very diverse neighbor because all over the city people weighing in from you know, a black, white otherwise. And if you're a black person for instance, who has actually you know, done what everyone's been telling you for generations to build generational wealth and actually invest in a home and save up the money

and get a down payment and buy a house. This is particularly bad news because you know, you you now are having these things that are going to affect your property values, these apartment buildings built right next to you in your single family area. But no, you're absolutely right. There's no guarantee that they won't be priced up like crazy.

And some of these kind of higher end neighborhoods, I mean, there is a is an attempted market intervention that is just going to empower lower end development that may not end up staying low end.

are going to be paying a high tax. That's I mean, that's one of the reasons people move out of the city of Cincinnati. You got that city tax, which funds a general fund, and you don't have to pay that if you live in other communities sometimes. I so I wouldn't think that it's necessarily going to be a draw for the city of Cincinnati just because there's more available housing.

And then the second point on that is how much are they really thinking is going to be built, how much additional population will they be bringing, How many units do they think are actually going to be completed. Well, they don't know.

services aspect. So it's high tax, is poor services. I'm sitting here looking at snow out my window here at nan Clifton right now, and the slowly moving traffic. I mean that these are all the traditional reasons that it's hard to bring people into the city sometimes. But all that being said that we do know that this is a hot market for private equity, out of town folks looking to do multifamilies and this truly empowers them. And we know that out of town landlords tend to be

bad landlords. They tend not to take care of their property. And that's exactly what we're concerned about, is a bunch of private equity folks coming in buying up some single family housing, getting heavily into this market. They don't perform, they pull out, and then we have co enforcement issues

empty properties. Or the flip side is you're going to have people rushing into certain neighborhoods where they're built thinking they're getting a bargain and really ending up with a kind of lousy product and not being happy with it, or if.

with our main historic neighborhoods. The great thing about the cities we have these historic neighborhoods at Hyde Park, Clifton, Price Ll East Price Hill. They have a distinct character and that's what drives people there, and messing with that seems like the last thing you'd want to do well.

Crime goes down in neighborhoods that look like they're being cared for and there are many neighborhoods that have been completely overlooked and neglected for years.

City of Cincinnati. And rather than putting the energy here into like screwing around with these kind of you know, attempt at interventions in the housing market, really to encourage

public transit. All the millions of dollars and thousands of dollars of staff time that have been spent like screwing around with this scheme, I got if that had been put into some sort of economic real economic development activity to try to develop some of the areas, particularly along with Paddock Row Corridor in the city, and actually get some jobs for people, entry level jobs, and to try to bring some manufacturing back in the city, then we'd

have something. I mean, then you'd have some density. Uh, but that doesn't seem to be where anybody's attention as d Well, it's it's overthought, it's this bad policy, and the neighborhoods just don't want it. It's a total failure of civic engagement. People were saying across the city, please don't do this, and they and they did it anyway. It became sort of like a progressive litmus test at city hall.

value here of it. But it's really really hard to sue cities from property loss. I mean you have to show of bad faith and arbitrary capricious acts. So it's a difficult thing to do, but we think what really what the practical effect of this is. It's going to be a very very hot political issue, this wall, and I think you're going to see quite a few candidates

coming out trying to repeal it. What's interesting to me is that the city, or at least some of the council members that held a town hall over the weekend and they're turning to they know they've got a problem. The sponsor of this, you know, Reggie Harris left his council seat and went to d C ironically to work on housing policy and the Biden administration, so you know he's no longer going to have to face the political

consequences of this. And we know some of the other council members are trying to amend the thing that you know, our group is basically saying, look, it's got to.

to be with you. And what is this? I'm sorry, I'm going to call it out loud batcrap insanity. We want to get rid of the cartels, the Mexican drug cartels. They're dangerous. They murder people all the time, they kill politicians, they kill mayors, They traffic in human beings and drugs and everything else. So the Mexican president is threatening more lawsuits against US gun manufacturers if we designate them as terror groups. What in the hell kind of sense does

this make? I know it doesn't albr but what's your take on this insanity?

get recribution on everybody. And I think we're in that very same situation where they're nervous there's gonna be all this talk about the cartel and then no one's really gonna get rid of them. But see, they don't know Donald Trump. He really has a plan to get rid of them. So it's going to be amazing what we see over the next couple of months or year. It's gonna be amazing what we see down there.

stop to them. It's almost like signing a death warrant you when you utter something against the cartels. There. I would think every politician, every individual, including the president on down, would welcome us helping them out with this tragedy that's befall in their country, right Yeah.

a beautiful thing. But he is delivering on a promise that even Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden all independently made talking about trying to ferret out fraud, waste, and abuse. At least he's delivering on that. And when these kind of thing is identify, we find out we're spending ten million dollars to give I don't know, Guatemalan circumcisions like wait, a second. I'm going to work for this. It causes outrage right as as it should.

all of these things are being misappropriated. And so what Eli's doing is he's come in there and he's he's cutting those beercrats out of the way. And all of a sudden, as you say, in million dollars here, six million dollars on sushi.

get back it. Let's get back to the Second Amendment.

from tracking gun sales. You know, aw Or, this is one of the reasons why I try to avoid using credit cards at all, because listen, if I can prevent anyone, any entity out there in the world from tracking what I'm doing, I'm gonna take a step to do it. Not that I'm really trying to hide it. It's just that I find it fun to deprive them of information. But the idea that our credit cards would be used to track gun sales, and you and I both know exactly why they might want to do that. Do you

think this is gonna uh, this is gonna make it through? Well, I think all of this has a great chance of making it through.

the House are ready to go. We have we have people like the new Montana senator, We have people in the Senate who are ready to go. Of course, Trump is on board, and so I believe this all has a chance. But we have to do everything we can to keep the government from tracking and and you said, well, I'm not trying to hide anything I'm not countering you when I say this, I'm not counting you, but maybe I am. And I don't mean I'm hiding illegal action.

I just mean it's none of their business, right, it's none of their business. Do I own one ar or do I own fifty?

a compass for the compass for the stock. Can I tell you something? Yeah, real quick? You and I have never spoken about this, never, not all fair, not on there. My favorite round of all time, hands down period. Oh that's awesome. Oh that's amazing. I'm glad I lever Action you. If you can't kill it with that, I know you're the worst shot that ever lived, ever live. That is so true. And a Marlin, and now, Marlin's a great gun.

because it's a hell of a round. Anyway, I used to live in Illinois and I see a circuit court judge there struck down that stupid fo I D Card that you had to have before you could own a firearm. When we lived in Chicago, I didn't even realize that was on the books. And I went to a store to buy a shotgun and she looked at me like I was out of my mind, Like you think you're just gonna walk out of here with a shotgun today? Do you have your FOI D Card to start the process?

It was like, what the hell's that? Well, they're getting rid of it. Well, what he's doing.

and eight US Supreme Court. The Heller ruling makes clear that that the Second Amendment covers having a gun in the home.

it's the same thing you're saying right now. If the Left had had their way, that mother with that baby, her only line of defense would have been calling police that if they had had their way, that'd be it. And we both know how it would have ended if that was her only line of defense. I have to tell you and use these people on the left. Fortunately their size and power has greatly diminished, but they're still dumb, they're still they're still.

You can be a small child and if you know how to use one, you can defend yourself and your family from a fifty one year old and a forty four year old who kicked in the front door of your home with the intent of robbing your home. Right.

two guys break in. Guess who's at a disadvantage the two guys.

of been sitting on the sidelines. I know, we have been the dominant resource for Ukrainian military in terms of aid UH and you, as I have gone over this many times before, it doesn't seem like it's really stopping Russian incursion, and the Ukrainians scene to be losing the battle. So now that Trump's working directly with Vladimir Putin trying to negotiate some sort of peace resolution, the European Union is now stepping up to the plate in some ways.

What's the story, backstory or otherwise on this one, Daniel Davis, Well, you know, I think it's not so.

to keep Russia from winning. Now in here comes Donald Trump, and suddenly the United States is taking about a forty five degree angle course change, and the rest of Europe is still on the previous course, and they don't like it very much at all, and they want to try to pull Trump back onto it. So in one hand, they're they're taking the lead only because they're trying to go back to where they were before.

officials meeting in in Ryod. Right now in Saudi Arabia, you have the you're the Lavrov and some other key Russian leaders are saying the same thing. Trump is saying that this has to be negotiated between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Everybody else can figure out what's going to happen later. And they specified that the UK and EU they specified them by name, cannot be part of this because they are wholly bent on preparing for war with Russia. Zelensky can't be a part of it because he won't

acknowledge reality. Only the US and Russia. And so that's making Ukraine, European Union and others unhappy.

peace in war torn areas? Okay, So, with that sort of background thought in mind, what would happen if we just said, you know what, we're gonna wash our hands of this European Union. You think you got it right, knock yourselves out. Well, we seem to be moving in that direction.

hardware equipment anymore. They can't not only can they, I guess, not afford to give away supplies, but even if they embrace the concept of trying to support a militarily, they've got nothing to draw from. Yeah, and UK is not much different.

way Russia can wage that kind of war. But with the backdrop of these very paltry, underfunded and small supplied military forces, I don't know, maybe maybe it is a legitimate.

right there. That leaves the European Union everybody else free to provide their own national security, which, by the way, Secretary of Defense Hexas said, you guys ought to focus on Article three of the Natal Charter, which says every nation is required to provide its own national security.

there are no quote you in peacekeepers. I know, they're just soldiers from other countries that wear a blue helmet, and of course they're powerless because they're only there for peacekeepers, which by definition means that there has been a peace agreement reached and the two sides have agreed that that's what's gonna happen, and then they just sit in the middle to try to make it harder for one side or the other to break it. Obviously, Russia is not

even contemplating that. In fact, they said there will be no peacekeepers.

suppression to Europe, I think. But I'll just tell you, Brian, overall, I think that this is just the death throws of the way things have always been in Europe, not realizing that there's you know, a new force in America coming in, going in a different direction, but they're going to have to come in line because they don't have the capacity to do what they want to do.

a really sorry thing to contemplate. Lots of unpack on that one, Daniel Davis, but I sure appreciate your insight and your thoughts on it, and I'll always, as I always do, look forward to another discussion with you in another deep dive next Tuesday at eight thirty between now and then, best to health, my friend, see you then, looking forward to it.

the Charter Committee, which is still around. You have an alternative when it comes to politics in the city Cincinnati, and Charter rights may represent a better alternative for you out there. If you're Democrats that are stuck with people who don't listen to you. You and your concerns about building dense housing in your neighborhood that's a good conversation with him. Apparently a lot more to it. I got an email from John who said, I went to the

three hour Connected Community meeting Saturday the fifteenth. Todd Zinzer was there, our inspector general friend. He said a couple of takeaways that Steve. I mean, we only had a little bit amount of time with Steve. He didn't mention though, tax abatements and incentives for developers. How about that, So developers are incentivized through tax abatements to well shift the burden to the already over taxed homeowners.

along with that equation. Thanks to Ed who and I don't know if this is true or not, but he said, if you noticed the addition to the US debt clock apparently now is a Doge clock in the upper left section, so you can follow the savings that DOGE is bringing about, reportedly currently at fifty billion dollars and growing, eliminating things like, oh, I don't know what was it the ten million dollars in circumcisions for people in Mozambique, and really puzzled by

this one, considering our failing schools, going back to the point that he made forty seven million dollars we spent for improving learning outcomes in Asia, actually finding it difficult that he was at the DOGE and the folks that are working on ferreting out this fraud, waste and abused

in government were even able to do that. Another fun fact we find out thanks to DOGE, they discovered idea dentification codes linking US Treasury payments to a budget line item suspiciously absent, which means the money that flows out was not linked to a particular program or law. Courted DOGE on a post on X the Treasury Access symbol tas Treasury Access symbol. It's an identific code identification code

linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item. Standard financial process in the federal government the tas this Treasury access symbol was optional for four point seven trillion dollars in payments, often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. So as a Saturday, this is now required field. So that's one thing that Trump administration delivered on is actually creating

an opportunity to follow the dollars. Can you imagine that, actually following where the dollars come out of treasury and knowing where they went mere symbol missing, That allow for more insight into where the money's actually going. So from this point forward, least under Trump administration, they've cracked down on that. It's pretty amazing when prior Yeah, what a Nazi, right, Joe, Nazi?

Oh you mean, uh, standard accounting practices is is something from the National Socialist Party, Joe, just as apparently Hitler did it first, and I got a big kick out a White House Press Secretary Carolyn Lovett rolling out this video footage speaking about prior administrations, the Clinton administration, of Bob administration, Joe Biden all promising to do exactly what

dog who's actually doing under the Trump administration. We can't sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars that have outlived their usefulness or exists solely for the power of politicians, lobbyists or interest groups. Is that from Elon Musk, Donald Trump?

in that office? Sech asking Biden, why didn't he fix all the things that he did the Harrison when Harris was running for president? Why didn't you do it while you were in elected capacity? Why didn't you do it?

can you? And you can't do it if there aren't resources there to figure out how it is first off, that we spent ten million dollars for voluntary mail mail circums medical mail circumcisions in Mozambique, or even follow the dollars if the money that went to Mozambique actually paid for voluntary medical mail circumcisions, which was the point of

the program. I understand none of this makes any sense, and the ten million dollars is a quite literal drop in the bucket considering four point seven trillion dollars in

money flows out of the federal government. But it's an important point, and it's an important thing to remember that this whole concept used to be at least by artisan Then, in spite of the fact that they didn't do anything about it when they were elected, they at least said they want accountability, they want to stop this fraud, waste, and abuse bleeding billions of taxpayer dollars. Is Barack Obama put it himself, Did he do anything about it? No,

it's only gotten infinitely worse. Jay Welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling up this morning.

I know that's Doe's focus at the federal level. What the hell have we been paying these people for? When's the accountability going to start rolling down to the people to show up sit around a conference room table down in DC or Columbus and haven't done a damn thing. Yeah, when is that accountability going to come back? And why don't they just shut these things down? Paying these people extra for doing nothing for one hundred years.

So I suspect they're all working at home, probably playing on their sunny PlayStation or something, rather than actually accomplishing something fundamental for the American people. So at least we get something going here, at least, you know the as I pointed out a couple of times this morning, I think it's important just shedding light and these outrageous stories again drops in the federal government's budget. Spending ten million

dollars is literally nothing. And I'm sure ten million dollars has been spent in just a few moments of time while I'm getting this thought out loud. But when you tell someone who's working and paying taxes that part of the labor is going for something like that, when their neighborhood may be falling apart, their roads have not been fixed or fill in the blank on literally any other thing that that individual thinks government should be accomplishing. They're

not accomplishing it. We're spending these this money all over the globe for purposes that are absolutely crazy on their face, and that we don't even know we're accomplished or served some sort of good. If there is a legitimate need for voluntary medical mail circumcisions in Mozambia, I'd first liked that. Explain to me why and why are we paying for it? But did it happen? I guarantee there's not a sole in government. Even the people who are behind that particular expenditure,

they don't know, They can't tell you. And that's the kind of thing that should, regardless of political stripe, kiss people off and maybe bring about some political engagement on their behalf af At five fifty five k see talk station Steve Gooden on Charter the Charter Committee representative on Connected Communities fighting back hard against that.
