55KRC Wednesday Show - AFP, CCVS, State Sen George Lang, Judge Napolitano

so called Big Beautiful Bill. Of course, it's gonna be tossed around the center or the House today. I think it's already out of committee. You'll be put up for a full vote today if I read the information correctly. Not guaranteed though, as rumbored swirling that is up to as many as up to as many as twenty representatives are against it on the Republican side of the ledge. Of course, you can only afford to lose a handful. So that's beyond the numbers that would allow it to

pass in the House. So we will see what ultimately happens. Just keep your popcorn out, folks. Steve, also from the Klamic County Veteran Service, has got some information to pass along to my veteran friend. Steve's good man looking out for our American veterans, and salute to everybody at the various veteran services agencies for what you're doing each and every day for our veterans. State Senator George Lang joins the program at eighth five. George's gonna be talking about

the Ohio budget. And finally, of course, a judge anted Apolotado with some comments about Independence Day and are we freer now than we were under King George, it's a legitimate question to ask pretty much clear you no direction. Judge is going to go on that one. So uh, if you want to call feel free love hearing from me five one three, seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk or pound five fifty on aight and t funds. Normally would be listener lunch today

because it is the first Wednesday in July. Man, where the hell did June go? Anyhow, We've gone on the blink of an eye. But because of Independence Day on Friday, we are kicking it to next Wednesday. I have been trying to let everybody know we're going to be at Wandering Monsters Brewery. Wandering Monsters, it's beach Beachmont Avenue. I think that's fair. I remember that correctly. But it's supposed to have good food, it's supposed to be a lot of fun, and I'm hoping you can make it. Put

it down on your calendar, show up a listener. Lunch usually starts about eleven thirty, So Beachmont eighty two to fifty one Beachmont Avenue is the location of Wandering Monsters. Get a kick out of the name of that place. Anyway, back over here in the state of Ohio, of course, the the wine did veto quite a few things, most notably the ones relating to maybe some relief for property insurance. Get to that in a minute. But I thought this

was a rather interesting combination. Here there was a study from Harris Pole talking to parents, asking parents which things they wished had never been invented, thinking about their experience

versus their child experience growing up. Most of the more than half of the surveyed parents that they wished for their kids that social media didn't exist, sixty two percent, so they wish TikTok had never been invented sixty two percent so they would like to spare their kids the toxicity of acts formerly known as Twitter, and fifty six percent wish that Instagram didn't exist. Most notably, seventy two percent of parents either agree or strongly agree that they

wish adult online content was not out there porn. Fifty five percent agree or strongly somewhat agree they wish that social media was not a thing at all. Forty four percent say that for messaging apps smartphones generally speaking, thirty eight percent of parents wish they didn't exist, video games thirty two percent, the internet generally twenty eight percent, streaming services twenty one percent, and TV seventeen percent wish it didn't exist, wish it had never been involved in their

children's upbringing. And it's interesting to note, and I know it's how difficult it is to be a parent. I'm a parent, thankfully. Minor adults now that it's tough to say no. But all of this is within the grasp of a parent to say no. Now, you can go to the next door neighbor's house and they may not care about your access to adult online content. But within the confines of your own home, there are ways to prevent your children from accessing it. So it's just I

understand parents don't want to be the hammer. That's when the state sometimes has to come in. We've seen the efforts and the successful in the Supreme Court Texas's effort to ban access to adult online content without age verification. Age verification is a thing now in Texas. That's the state stepping in and endeavoring to do what parents either can't or won't do for their kids. And it's come

to the state of Ohio. I students will soon not have access to their cell phones during the school day. State lawmakers prohibited them under most circumstances in the final state budget, which Governor Wine designed the other day. Each school, district, community school, and STEM school must adopt a policy prohibiting students' use of cell phones during the instructional day, with some exceptions. Policy must be adopted by January first of

next year. The Wine called this a vital step in protecting our children and helping them focus and learn in the school year. Apparently, the definition of instructional day subject to some interpretation. Senator James Timkins said it's the time between the first bell in the morning and the final bell at the end of the day, noting that we'll probably find that some of the school districts have different views on what the instructional day means. But the idea

is to not have it during the school day. Isn't it interesting that it's already a question mark about what instructional day means, maybe intentionally vague to provide school district some lateral movement in that I don't know. Each public school must also include in its comprehensive emergency management plan a protocol that addresses students' use of cell phones during an active threat or emergency. Obviously that's one of the concerns. Well,

wait a second. You know we reach out and like alert people to active shooter situations and lockdowns via text. That the kids don't have their cell phones, that don't have access to them, how they're going to get it? Now? The plan has to address that and getting ahead of it. And here's the point, as noted by the enquire BB Hodges and others reporting by implementing a statewide band, lawmakers, rather than teachers or parents become the bad guys limiting

access to cell phones. Jaye Timpkins said she's fine with that. We can't police everybody, but at least it gives these kids a chance to put their phones away and actually listen to their teacher and interact in the classroom. She noted. Yeah, apparently some schools have already done this, since our Country Day School in Indian Hill enforce all day cell phone ban during the twenty twenty three twenty four school year.

I wonder if the children benefited from it. Princeton City Schools and implemented policies and procedures that aligned with the Lost booksmversus the district said and will make any necessary adjustments as needed, but they already have a policy in place which they say is well complies with what was just signed into law by Governor to Wine. Now, I

think personally this is a good idea. I mean, I'm not all about raw laws and rules and bands, and I know there's some concerns from parents and others about how are we going to get to our kids, what

if there's an emergency, what if there's a health issue. Well, the bill apparently does include a provision for allowing students to use their cell phones for student learning, that's one thing, quote unquote student learning, or to monitor or address a health concern if the student has a written statement from their physician. So there's a lot of carve outs in a lot of ways that schools will be to implement

policies which may be address the concerns of parents. But overall, going back to what parents want in that survey, they wish that stuff just didn't exist at all. Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. We just wish it evaporated from the what's available for use for our children, which suggests that if parents are you know, when they're

asked they could do without the cell phone connections. I mean, if they're asking and wishing and desiring that they were outright banned or didn't exist, then that means they would be in a situation where they'd have to cope without being able to reach their children at any moment in time.

I just I can't reconcile the two positions. I mean, at least among the parents who are claiming that these school cell phone bands are going to present a problem for them, but overall, the fewer hours children have access to these devices, I think the better for them. Generally speaking, they are a diversion. They do take away from learning time. They're a major distraction and a major creator of anxiety

among our young people. How many psychological problems are young people having these days that are driven And you can conclude this without being a psychiatrist or a psychologist driven by social media the twenty four to seven proposition and no wonder our children are so psychologically well struggling. But draw your own conclusions. How do you feel about it? I mean, feel free to give me a call that agree, disagree. I think it's a good idea, bad idea. It is

the law now in the state of Ohio. Put the phones down five fifteen fifty five K see the talk station five one thirty seven four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eight two three talk about five fifty on AT and T phones. Go right back after these brief courts fifty five car the talk station five eighteen On a Wednesday, Happy Wednesday to you, but you buy parsee dot comedy can't listen live We get the inside Scoop with Bradley j. Yesterday we talked about the Big Beautiful

Billy Vaked Ramaswami for Ohio governor. He was on the program yesterday. I love that guy, and of course of Daniel Davis deep dive. Not looking good for Ukraine right now, massive troop deployment by the Russians, fifty thousand additional ones up in that that capital city. They have the three to one ratio of Russian soldiers to Ukrainian soldiers. Obviously he was talking about they were considering expanding the draft in Ukraine, include eighteen year old, A lot of people

fleeing the country to avoid that possibility. And there's just it's it's just it's all bad news. I don't know what your position is for Ukraine. You got to be practical in a realist things aren't looking good and doubling down on that. US has stopped the delivery of air defense interceptors and other weapons inten for Ukraine because the Pentagon needs them to beef up our own stocks. Hmm.

US moved with old arms deliveries ear mark for Ukraine reflects the Trump administration's slackening commitment to aiding Kiev and its defense against Russia, reports The Wall Street Journal. Apparently, officials of stress the need to focus more on longer term threats from China and more immediately military needs in the Middle East. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly Quota is saying this decision was made to put America's interests first.

That after a Pentagon review of military assistants US military systems ships, the shipments of these weapons are already in poland halted. Now included Patriot air defense interceptors, air to air missiles, hell fire, air to ground missiles, and surface to surface rockets, artillery rounds and stingers surface to air missiles. All of them are going to be redistributed by the Pentagon to areas that we need them more than in Ukraine. Again, you have to view the situation whether the cause is

worthy or not. The needs are well unlimited, the demand is unlimited, and some suggesting, and I think Daniel Davis was one of them. One of the reasons Israel got into the that ceasefire agreement with Iran is because well, it ran out of the ability to shoot down Iranian rockets,

and Iran still has a whole bunch of them. So when you don't have the defenses there, it might be good to call it call it a ceasefire for a while no military strategist I but now Ukraine has previously praised the fact that Patriot system has been able to it has defended the country from these Russian ballistic missiles, and of course they have been appealing for more of them. This is an obvious response to that, Well, no, we're

not going to provide them. And it's the second time the Trump administration has redirected weapons that were intended to Ukraine. Last month was reported Pentagon quietly notified Congress that special fuses for rockets Ukraine used to shoot down Russian drones were being allocated at US Air Force units in the

Middle East. Our people needed them. That's all those military bases that are in the area that we're under within range of the Iranian rockets that some were so concerned about after we dropped the bombs on the nuke facilities that they will be bombed by the Iranians, one of which they intempted to do, but because we had missile defense systems on the ground, they were shot down. So

a lot of reporting on that was young people. You know, twenty five years old was the oldest person at the base that was there to protect the base and operate these missile systems. So he had twenty year olds at twenty five year olds defending the base and successfully doing it. That's a great story out of that one. But we

need them, that's the point only. So if there's a fine item out of hardware out there, obviously, so you decide whether it's in the US's best interest to send them to the least and protect our guys, or let the Ukrainians have them. And in essence, I suppose one may argue squander them since they're losing this battle, it looks like a foregone conclusion that it's just it's pretty

much over. That's my conclusion anyway. Now, the Trump administration inherited the authority to send Ukraine as much as three point eighty five billion in weapons from the Pentagon stocks the weapons, but it's held back doing so. Also hasn't asked Congress for more funding for a separate program to fund the Ukrainian military called the Ukraine's Security Assistance Initiative, under which money is appropriated so Kiev can buy weapons

from US defense contractors military industrial complex. And I don't know why the Democrats are operating under some delusion that Ukraine might be able to win this war. Jeine Shaheen, quoted as the Pentagon is significantly weakening Ukraine's defense against aerial attacks, even as Russia pounds Ukrainian cities night after

night with numerous civilian dead and wounded. In fact, maybe yeah, But as I mentioned it, Daniel Davis, I mean, you effectively have to have persons in this case, mostly men behind the trigger to operate the weapons, regardless of the weapons systems, and they're running out of people to do that. You can pile all the weapons you want on top of them, but if they don't know the people to operate them effectively use them that are trained to use them,

what good is it going to do? And if it puts Our soldiers at risk because they need the weapons system to protect themselves from a greater threat, a threat directly on Americans as opposed to the Ukrainian people with whom we have no defense author or agreement or treaty, I think that's the right decision being made there. Do we protect the US interest or do we protect the interest of a country that I guess we're with on some level. Lots of questions swirling about that too, But again,

no defense agreement they're not part of NATO. They just exist as an independent country, and we have thus far been providing them with weapons systems to defend themselves against the evil pesky Russians. How many other hands want to be in our American cookie jar? How many more demands are there out there for our finite apparently military resources.

Tough calls have to be made, and I'm not necessarily happy about it, but I think in this particular case, the right call was made our interests over those of other countries. Generally speaking, let us see here coming up on local stories. Love hearing from you. If you've got something to say, please feel free to give me a call. Got more on the highest state budget and we'll be

talking about that again with Donovan and Neil. Americans were prosperity, including the budget vetos on the well effort to pair back our property taxes. I feel a little disappointed with what Mike Dewyne did along those lines. Don't go away. I'd be right back. Fifty five KRC dot com. Here is your ten to nine. First one to what a forecast today?

particular moment. Welcome to the age of the Internet, Bobby, appreciate the call. Thank you for illustrating the importance of minding FEC compliance as well. Jay, Welcome to the Morning Show. Happy Wednesday to you.

The The provision that was struck by the Parliamentarian was the sort of penalty provision because the federal government does not authorize or justify illegal immigrants under medicaid, so states are free to expand their Medicaid roles to pay for them themselves, like California did, which put them in a big budget problem. The provision that was struck was a ten percent reduction in payments and reimbursements for eligible Medicaid That was a design to penalize states who expanded the

roles to include illegal immigrants. So if you expanded you covered illegal immigrants, we're going to cut your medicaid reimbursement by ten percent. That's what got cut by the parliamentarian at least as I currently understand it. Very confusing Jay, and so much so that there was an article by John Sexton over it. I believe it was town Hall.

He concluded his whole analysis of this. So, as I set up atop, it's actually difficult to figure out what is happening here well, the new eligibility requirement force cuts and if so, how will it work. I'm sure someone is going to write a story explaining what the remaining section the bill does, but so far I'm not seeing it. I'll try to update this today or tomorrow once it's been made more clear.

support of what you're saying. But obviously, I think I would think that if they were able to replace the Senate parliamentarian with someone who's more aligned with conservative values Republican principles, that they would have done it. So what's stopping them from doing exactly what you're suggesting? He asked out loud.

don't we fix that. We got a spending problem in the country. We spend too much on the American military. As much as I love the American military, you can't pass the blanket audit. And here we are giving them additional almost with two hundred billion dollars or something like that. There's a multitude of reasons why he's angry Senator ran Paul.

The debt sealing, increasing it five trillion dollars. I mean, that's just the waving a red flag around saying we're going to increase the debt five trillion dollars beyond where it is now. We're already at one hundred percent a debt service or what is it, a trillion dollars annual debt service on that that's only going to get worse. I'm not voting for that.

Senate just the other day. But because they are so outspoken, because they are you know, the chink and the armor or the speed bump in the system, at least their arguments get advanced and you have to address them. Five trillion dollars, I said it rampulse on his hands of five trillion dollars. Why does it have to be so much? If you just pair that back, I'll be a yes on it. That's his one concern. You know, there's no no opportunity to put the brakes on once you raise

it that much. Just open the floodgates.

The co typ Kotati Police Department officers that they found more than seventy empty bud light can searching a dy suspects suv over the weekend driver struggling to stay in one lane when he was stopped. During the stop. Officers note an open beer can in the SUV's cup holder field.

According to the Police Department, A courting the CPD of the statement. Once the driver was arrested, search of the inside of his car was completed in over seventy empty beer cans were located. We want to remind everyone that

drinking and driving is not worth it. The outcome could have been much worse at our officers not stop the driver. I hope that's not from one single binge guy just doesn't his car out very regularly. See here We got to Saginaw, Michigan, where Michigan State Police released new information about a suspect who was killed after holding an employee hostage at a bank Friday. State police said thirty one year old Clinton Marksy Allen took a mercantile back employee

hostage in Saginaw. Allen did not have a gun, but he did have a weapon, according the state Police, Lieutenant Kim Vetter, speaking with news, she did not specifically say what the weapon was, but during the hostage situation. Vetter said a drone was used to lower a twenty four ounce Red Fago soda in a bag to mister Allen. When Allen exposed himself to grab the FAGA, law enforcement could see him through the buildings. Class State Police set

A trooper then shot and killed Allan. He never was able to grab the bag, according to the state Police. After he was shot, State police said the hostage came out of the bank for help, victim injured and take them to local hospital for treatment. Please still investigating Allen's motive. I guess they figured out somewhere along the line that he wanted a red Fagoh that's actually pretty dang funny.

all tired of hearing the same tune. Well, we need to get this one through and we'll worry about the deficit later. No, because here we are again, and as you said, he's bringing up the discussion point putting the first and forefront because it is huge monsters waiting to You know, it's not a wandering monster either.

into the other lane and just drove off. Then I see him in my rear view of mirror, speeding all the way to catch up to me. That's when he got out of the car and started screaming at me. I pulled the window up, trying to ignore him, tried to be an adult about it. He kicked out my back window and he just started screaming, why are you honking? I have kids in the car, said, After hearing the commotion of the glass breaking, she got out of the car to see what happened. She told the driver she

was calling nine one one, She said. The man then threw her phone and glasses to the ground and started throwing punches, saying, he punched me in the face when I tried to call the police. Doctors initially worried the punches might have torn her left corneump, but she just got black eye and several broken blood vessels. Tried to stop him from leaving by standing in front of his car. She fell down. That's when witnesses, including a paramedic, stop

to help her. To the police with a license plate number. Candaer said, the subject landed several punches and drove off laughing. So far, police have not yet made an arrest just Away man Okay one more go to Miami, Florida. Valet attendant for a high rise apartment building in Miami's Brickelnecker neighborhood arrested after he took off in a residence vehicle. Court to the rest report from the Miami Police Incident Kurt at about three am, victim told officers she dropped off.

He dropped off his car with a valet attendant identified as Augusto Cesar san Diego Trows, twenty three years old, in Miami outside of the apartment building. Instead of going up to his apartment. Up to his apartment, he walked down to the street to the smoke shop to pick up some smokes. He was leaving the store saw san die San Dio Troz speeding away excessively in his vehicle, nearly hitting the building at one point. Police said the

victim of Tames. Surveillance video capturing his actions courted the rest report. The valet attend and it admitted to something, although his exact statement was redacted from the publicly released report. Arrested charged with grand theft of motor vehicle being held at the Turner Guildford Night Correction Center. So kind of reminding of Ferris Mueller's day off five five fifty five kr SE the talk station plenty to talk about in

the six o'clock hour. Feel free to direct the steer the direction of the conversation as I'd like to point out by giving me a call. I'll be right back after the news will be called the twelve Day War. I suppose that's what we were nicknaming it already.

Coming up seven thirty with Donovomino Americans for Prosperity. They're urging lawmakers to override Dewines vetos, some of which relate to property tax. We get a chance to talk about that yet, but we can. But they did try to give us some measure of relief, and DeWine struck those provisions in his line item veto, So we'll hear what he has to say about that or what other vetos that Dwine had. There were sixty seven of them. AFP wants to have overturned. So it's an opportunity to overturn

the vetos. Big Beautiful Bill also comment on that that up coming up at seven thirty, followed by Steve Belzo from the Claremont County Veteran Services has some great information to pass on to my veteran friends, and again salute to the various veteran services out there, including Clairemont County of course, for the great work they do for our

local veterans. State Senator George Langab talking about ohighest budget at eight five, looking forward to having Senator lying on the program, and of course it being Wednesday, we'll hear from Judge Anena Politano, Independent State, twenty twenty five. Question, are you freer now than the the folks were in the colonies under King George? Good question and not quit, sir? Which direction to go? There's still all this this swirling

question marks about illegal aliens on Medicaid. And one of the problems was is the Senate Parliamentarian, as we were bringing up in the last hour, struck various provisions from the big beautiful bill because apparently they didn't pass the bird test that you know, the bird bath that they go through named after Senator Robert Byrd. This is again reconciliation. Senators typically prohibited from using a reconciliation bill to advanced

provisions that are related to spending or taxes. Now, it seems to me medicaid spending in the level of reimbursement, because in any particular state is a spending related matter. But it was Listen, the Senate Parliamentarian said it was an instructive for vision. Out question is, are are we

providing illegal medicaid illegal immigrants? Senator Eric Schmidt's trying to set the record straight, and this is what he had to say, although it's still confusing, he post on x. He dismissed himbers, suggesting that the medicaid ban for illegal immigrants had been removed from the bill. I don't know that it was a ban. Reference page six oh two, section seventy seven one oh nine, saying, look right, there

remains part of the legislation. You said, the big beautiful bill will remove medicaid coverage one point four illegal immigrants, explaining that a Monday Voterama there was an amendment to block medicaid for illegal immigrants and it was rejected. That video spread around online that led people to believe that the provision had been entirely removed for the bill. But he clarified that this is just one of several what they call messaging amendments to pressure Democrats into publicly exposing

opposing specific measures. They're on record now being against a ban on medicaid funding for illegal immigrants convicted a serious crimes. So it sort of a subset of the broader illegal immigrant category, he said on his post on AX it was meant to show the public how radical they are. The ban itself was already in the bill, it was never taken out, and it wasn't just a ban on some medicaid for illegal immigrants with who commit heinous crimes.

It applies to all medicaid for all illegal immigrants, highlighting the Senate version of the Big Beautiful Bill goes further than just cutting off Medicaid access to one point four million illegal immigrants. It does also mandate the state's verify an applicant citizenship before granting coverage. That's still in there, blocks automatic Medicaid rollment for children of illegal immigrants, and

explicitly bars DACA recipients from receiving medicaid. Back pointed out that as of April twenty twenty five, Washington, d C. Provides government funded health care to individuals regardless of their immigration status. Additionally, seven states Colorado, California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, and Washington along with DC, do offer government health care to undocumented adults, but they shoulder the burden for that.

I think the provision that was the Senate parliamentarian struck was a reduction in Medicaid reimbursement rates to those states that do embrace and pay for illegal immigrants, although again it's on the state dollar. The state funds that because they're not eligible under current law, apparently, But all this swirl around brings up all this question, who in the hell is the Senate parliamentarian and what right does she

have to strike these various provisions. Elizabeth McDonagh's her name, been doing this for a dozen years, described as the Chambers referee, a non partisan enforcer of its rules and precedents, and what typically is a behind the scenes advisory role. A lot of Republicans came out and are very critical

of the decisions striking these various provisions. Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen to McDonald's rejection to some of the bill's provisions, most importantly one that would have forced states to shoulder

more of the Medicaid funding burden. Scenes politically motivated Tommy two Reveal senator from Alabama claimed that she should be fired asap, while on the other hand, some GOP senators defended her decision, insisting that while they might disagree with some of her rulings, they would go ahead and abide by them rather than seeking a vote to overrule them, which was what Trump wanted to do. And you can vote to override the parliamentary's decision, and you can also

replace her. From what I read this morning, it takes fifty one votes. So when I put a new person in there, that's maybe leans a little more politically to our side of the ledger rather than the other side. Senator Lindsay Graham said he had no intention of trying

to overrule the parliamentarium. Missouri Senator Josh Hawley said he just can't imagine Republicans would have enough votes to do so in a chamber where they only hold fifty three steats seats, saying we're not going to throw the parliamentarian under the bus. That a stavement from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski, So don't you find it a little bit strange that

the Republicans could put somebody else in that place? And that doesn't guarantee that the decisions wouldn't be the same relative to this bird rule that has to be applied. But they could vote to overrule the striking of those various provisions under the Bird rule, and they could vote to get her out of that particular role. They just don't do it. And this sort of makes you scratch your head.

Apparently I don't know. She was the first woman to serve as the parliamentarian and appointed by Democrats again, been in the role for a long time. So I'm scratching my head of the whole thing. And it is very confusing as to where we are on this Medicaid coverage. Apparently undocumented immingrants generally not eligible for federally funding Medicaid. Okay, that's then the rule. The Center bill aimed to reduce federal funding the states that use their own state funds

to provide medicaid coverage on documented immigrants. That was the provision that was struck, which I think they were hoping would act as an incentive for those states. Listen, if you got a shoulder the larger share of the medicaid payment. In other words, the Feds are not going to reimburse you as much. If you have put illegal immigrants on the Medicaid rolls. It's going to suck for you, and that would force those states to reconsider their decision to

cover illegal immigrants, put them in a financial position. Hell, California just had to change its law which expanded Medicaid to all illegal immigrants pairrot back significantly because their budget was collapsing. So that's effectively what it was trying to move through. But where we are right now, I guess

I really can't say definitively. I personally have not sat down with all nine hundred and seventy plus pages of the bill to figure out what's in it, and I didn't sit through the sixteen hour reading on Sunday five one, three, seven, four, nine fifty, five hundred, eight hundred and eight to two three talk oh pound five fifty on eight and t phones. Maybe you can put some flesh on the bones of what we're talking about here this morning. Maybe something else

is on your mind. Either way you want to go it, say okay with me, and you might want to go to QC Kinetics. If you're dealing with pain, knee pain and hit pain, shoulder of pain. You've been deal with it for a long time, been through a whole bunch of different batteries of steroid shots and always comes back. Now you're talking about surgery with your doctor, you know what, how about trying something different before heading on off to surgery and dealing with the issues and problems go along

with that. Why not give QC Kinetics a call and take them up on their free consultation to find out if these advanced cellular therapies like platelet rich plasma are right for you. What these are designed to do is help your body heal itself, no masking the pain. It goes to the root of the problems. Cellular treatments contain growth factors and healing properties that maximize your body's ability

to heal itself. And according to folks from QC Kinetics, they got a ninety two percent stisfaction rate from their patients, So that's pretty dang substantial. So before the S word, and grabbing a hold of that when I'm going under the knife. How much giving him a call? Why not ask five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine, five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine. That's five one three eight four seven zero zero one nine.

the issue. They're not endorsing that guy, they're not necessarily dissing themselves from them, but they don't want to be pinned to the commie label that their party is moving more and more toward. I mean, what do they have to offer as the party other people's money? Yeah, exactly, free stuff and things.

sure the power lines were in good shape. Failure, failure, failure. They had that reservoir shut off. It was completely drained and empty because they didn't get around to fixing it before the wildfires showed up. Wildfires that were predicted by literally everyone. Songs have been written about the wildfires. They've had wildfires in the past. It's a fact of life living out there. But did the administration and prior administration

do anything. No, So, you know, the very definition is stupid is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Do you think they're going to do that to themselves again when they get another chance to go out to the voters and to to the ballot box and vote. It seems to me they're maybe ripe for a political change in the winds. I know I'm talking about California here, but you know what, someone who tries to be logical and spring from a sense

of common sense and reason and living and observing. We live in a country where we have majority of people who voted for Donald Trump. Donald Trump whose party has gotten the Republican Party to expand to be the party of the people, the working piece, not the elite rich, which the Democrats always labeled the Republican Party of And they still run around screaming oligarch here and oligarch there, when in fact they're the ones that have gravitated over

to that elitist mentality and oligarch mentality. So I see the possibility of change, and it's only within my lifetime. The Republican the California went full on blue. Will people change direction hoping for some different outcome. When you choose a different direction with your political leaders, I think they. I just seem to have read just the other day that California relaxed a lot of these zoning laws which prohibited development. Why because well, Pacific Palisades needs to be rebuilt.

The Democrats put all these rules and regulations and impediments to development into law, and now they got a backpedal on it when reality smacks them in the face. Hmm, maybe we were wrong. At least in a crisis, they're willing to unring that bell and make things a little smoother, so people can move on with their lives, maybe because their jobs depend upon it. Going back to my point earlier about a change in the political wins six twenty sixth.

craziness going on here in the city of Cincinnati. Crime and the deafening silence from our elected officials and dealing with crime and other elements all belong in the stack is stupid and you couldn't make an argument with that. And here's here's a similar one. We can throw this

into the mix, all right. So they just announced, and you know, I don't know what the backstory is on this, but apparently the j Edgar Hoover Building where the FBI currently reside, is falling apart, and the Trump administration just decided they're going to move the headquarters from the Jaegar Hoover Building just down the street to the Ronald Reagan Building. It's only a couple of blocks away, accord to the reports.

I'm not familiar with the geography and DC, but they were talking about moving it farther away green Belt, Maryland specifically, that's where the original decision they were going to change. They had been talking about this for quite some time. FBI Director Cash Hotel said moving to the Ronald Reagan Building is the most cost effective and resource efficient way to carry out our mission to protect American people in the hold of constitution. The Hoover Building apparently is crumbling.

We could describe it as having crumbling infrastructure, and they've had to put nets to keep the infrastructure from falling on people's heads. Sounds like a familiar issue here in the city of Cincinnati. Question of where to move the FBI has been apparently a political fight. So Greenbelt, Maryland or down the street to the Wagon Building. Apparently it's going to the Reagon Building, FBI said in a statement yesterday.

The previous efforts focused on constructing a new suburban campus, which would have cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and would have taken years to construct. Going back to cash Retel's point, this saves us all money, good and the stack of stupid partkart comes in. Look. Someone wrote wtf next to this. Democratic lawmakers immediately said they planned to fight the switch from Greenbelt, Maryland to the Wagon building down the street, saying the plan to move to green

Belt was already final and the money was appropriated. Now we have a perfectly good space. It's just mere blocks away and won't cost the taxpayer billions of dollars and won't take years to construct. It's a much better, quicker plan, and it works, says the head of the FBI. Of course, the Democrats are going to fight it. It's something that Donald Trump's administration wants to do in the name of fiscal responsibility. Something actually is accomplished for us, and the

Democrats don't want to do it. Why well, we got a money appropriated, Well tell you what, take it out of the stack of appropriated money and put it someplace else, or how about this just don't spend it period. Let's score to the phones, Jamie, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Wednesday to you.

holding more than fifty percent of the taxpayer money. And third is keeping sexual content and books out of the hands of children under the age of eighteen at the libraries. He vetoed all three of the.

what was wrong with those provisions. It seems to me that that's the vast majority of Lisa's constituents one, I mean, even constituents on the other side of the political ledger, although I'm not sure what side of the political ledger to Wine is on, but in terms of school choice and education, I think most everybody wants that option on their plate.

a general public library where everything is widely available. And I don't know that they can live content like you can go in and get the Marquis de Sads one hundred and twenty Days of Sodom at the public library. And I wouldn't want any young person reading that horrific. I mean, it's just disgusting what that guy was able to come up with in his head. But there it is readily available and the most graphic thing you've probably

ever read. But would you carry that particular book or any of this other sexual content in a library that's designed for young people, that is limited in size and therefore limited in what it can even put on the shelves. And what kind of twisted individual selects given the finite amount of space sexual content for presentation to someone who's say K through six. That decision making alone, I find

just just repellent. It's disgusting, it's abhorrent. You've chosen to select sexually related content to the exclusion of literally everything else that could have gone in that space, that limited space on the shelf. That's crazy, folks. My standpoint, I'm sorry, I'll get your call if you don't mind holding just a minute. Got out of time in the segment with that ramble. Foreign Exchange a great place to take your imported car traditionally imported cars. I did they make quote

unquote imported cars here in America like Toyota's. But you know, if you've got one, you want to go to Foreign Exchange to save money. Now you will be very happy with the service I have been for I think it's at least a decade I've been taken money. I mean, we all own imported cars in the Thomas family. So that's where they go. And I wish I could calculate how much money I've saved over the years by taking

it to Foreign Exchange. But it's a heap load. And you have an a SE certified Master technician working on your car. They have data access to the technical information, software upgrades, they do everything. You get a full warranty on parts in service. And difference between the dealer and the independence at Foreign Exchange is the cost. And I'm telling you autobile repairs have gone through the roof of late, not that they were always, not that they were ever inexpensive.

So getting onto FOREGN Exchange. The Westchester locations one, I'm recommending this the Tylersville Road off exit off of I seventy five.

carry concealed on its face, the law is unconstitutional. Well, the Trump Department of Justice yesterday denied to great cert to the United States of Supreme Court to fight that challenge all on its face and listen to fit circuit eighteen nineteen to twenty year olds have every brightness anyone else to carry him buy a fire arm, which I think is cypercent correct decision.

not give you all the rights of an adult. What's this whole idea that twenty one somehow makes you more of an adult or something extra few years of life experience makes you more constitutionally eligible. I'm with you, Corey, appreciate the call, man, and I guess the US District Court Kathy ben sevengo out in California issued in order granting summary judgment finding California provision barring non residents from applying for a concealed care license violates the Constitution, so

creating a second class of citizen California. If you move out there and you're a non resident, but you want a CCW license, they would say no, well not after this particular case.

because of well, failure of leadership. But you're right, it's one of the criticism Christopher Smithman levies all the time against the mayor and the city Council for not more outright and outlawed supporting the police department, their effort to crack down on crime, getting communities to work with and cooperate with the police departments to help get rid of the criminal element, to turn people in who they know

who have committed crimes. All of those things can go a long way a long with what properly funding the police department and getting enough officers on the street, patrolling in neighborhoods, creating a visual presence so people feel safer and are more willing than to enter into the greater center of the Cincinnati area limits of the city of Cincinnati without fear that they're going to get attacked. Silence is profoundly deafening, And yeah, I hope it doesn't go

that way as well. Six point fifty five coming up at six fifty six. Got a little bit to talk about before we get the Donovan Neil on the Big Beautiful Bill, as well as afp urging lawmakers to override to wines vitas. Going back to the point the caller made earlier about the education related vitas, be right back after the news.

one to say the least. So Donovan and Neil on that topic, as well as his comments on the so called Big Beautiful Bill. Steve Belzo from the Kamerl County Klemer County Veterans Services at seven forty has some interesting and fun information to pass along to our veterans out there. Senator George Lang State Senator. He'll be on the show at eight oh five. He'll be talking about the Ohio budget and maybe whether they will seek to override some

of those dwine vetos. Judge Edita Palitano on Independence Day, which some left wing organizations are suggesting we sit out, boycott Independence Day. We're not really independent, they say we aren't, So stay home and don't participate, don't fly your flag, don't go to a parade. Okay. I choose to go the opposite direction of that conclusion. We need a celebrator independence in our freedom. Remember remember we, you know, while

we still have some freedoms to celebrate. Judge Edalpano asking sort of the rhetorical question, are we more free now or than when we were under King George's thumb? Jeff, welcome to the Morning Show. Thanks for calling this morning.

ended up with that. They selected it. They don't care what the content is and they don't understand even that. I don't think anybody in corporate even listens to the fifty five KC Morning Show know what it's about. But most of the radio stations in the iHeart lineup, there's seven hundred and fifty of them, and they all basically, can you know, have news to run on them, whether they're music or talk or whatever. There's a multitude of

different programs out there. They have one news feed and it's NBC.

but occasionally that won't run all the way. That's an editorial decision being made right there. But my point on

it is, wait a second. Of all the things that are going on in this world, the unlimited number of well vitally important stories that are out there, ones that might impact us directly, ones that had brought implications for all of us, or famine, pestilence, disease, anything you want, budgets here and there, whatever happens to me, they're going to choose to use some segment of that limited amount of time to run an article about what some Hollywood

celebrity said or did, or some new movie coming out. Free advertising is what that sounds like. I think that's very revealing. Anyway. Some of the vetos from Dwine is

the information's coming out. He did cut out the provision that would require public libraries that place books referencing sexual orientation or gender in an area away from the public cut a provision that would have taken away some of the school district's savings, one that would cap the carryover revenue with fifty percent and then require anything above that to be ref into you and me the taxpayer. Well, Dwine apparently claimed that could have resulted in bankruptcy bankrupted

districts at multiple schools. Well, if he got a forty percent carrier, that means he's sitting on a pile of money. So I'm not sure why he vetoed that. One veto to provision that would have helped us the property tax property taxpayers out there, a provision that would have allowed county budget commissions to unilaterally take money away from past

school levi's if they find it reasonably necessary. No longer there vetoed what would have been a win for school choice proponents like me, providing two point would have provided two point five billion dollars over the buiannium for the state's voucher system that'd give taxpayer dollars for students to attend non charter, non public schools that would have been

moved toward school choice. Let us see cut a provision requiring teenagers under the age of eighteen who have been tried and convicted as adults to be committed to a Department of Youth Service facility rather than Apartment of Rehabilitation and Correction facilities. I don't know how that actually got in there in the first instance. Now here's one somebody were wtf after me cut an item that would have

stopped SNAP benefits for sugar sweetened beverages. Going back to my point that I made yesterday an outrage over this. You know, it's not nutrition. If it's sugar sweetened beverages chock full of a whole bunch of sugar, it's not nutritional. Ergo, it shouldn't be part of SNAP. In the first instance, this would have removed it. He vetoed that provision. That

just really angers me, and no reporting on why. And there's a whole It's like I said, there's sixty sevent of these among you know, land and energy cuts, administrative vetos, tax related vetos, education related vetos. But that one's got out of my skin. Let's see what Eric's got this morning. Eric, thanks for calling. Welcome to the morning show.

if you had the radio on, including AM radio. Well, Dad had a rather elevated level of hatred towards Madonna maybe kate, it's the wrong word. He didn't like her music, didn't like her, didn't want to have anything to do with her. So they had these what they called carts, a little eight track kind of looking things, and occasionally they did break because it was tape well anytime Madonna's cart came up, because he would get a rundown of all the songs he had to play that was pre programmed.

And here, Jerry, these are the times when you play the following songs that he put him in a stack when he was getting ready to do the show during his show prep in the morning. That one always magically broke. Every time it was there, it broke. They went through a lot of carts with Madonna. I Love My Dad five three, seven hundred and eight two to three, Taco Tom Fi fifty on AT and T phones and get in touch with Suzette Low's camp across Country Mortgage. Just

outstanding customer service. She is the best. And I even got a separate independent email from one of my listeners out there who took my advice to work with Susette Lowe's camp and she helped him get out of a real crazy situation hit his house paid off and there were some some issues with regard to the title, I guess,

but she helped him out. He mentioned he was having some sleepless nights over the problem behind the scenes, and he said, imagine my surprise and delight when out of the LUs she called me to inform me that she had called in a favor to help me out, had the releases located and forward them to me so that I could relax. There were three releases, three open mortgages, and they shouldn't have been there. So she figured it out for him, just because he lamented to her during

the prime. The time he was going he was working with her to refinance his mortgage. So it's got customer service are the best. Whosette is absolutely phenomenal to what she does. Been thirty five years in the mortgage business team with Cross Country Mortgage. Whatever state you're sitting in and hearing me from, she can help you out and no junk fees or application fees, just great rates at

low cost and that superior customer service. So whatever your mortgage related need happens to be work with the best.

Some people show up a little bit later. Some people are done eating by the time I get there, usually about a quarter after eleven. But it's a really enjoyable time. I just really appreciate meeting the listeners and hanging out with them and join the fellowship. And you know, usually one hundred percent like minded people are at least on the same chunk of the political ledger. But everyone's invited, but just come with a smile on your face. Again

Wandering Monsters next Wednesday. I hope you got some great Independence Day plans coming up as well. We're talking about d Wines, Vitas and just going through the list of some of the other ones. He vetoed a provision that would have required state employees to work in the office full time. I guess part of me wants to understand why he would do that, But an interesting requirement. How many of you must go to the office to perform your job every day doesn't seem like a big ask.

It was the norm before COVID shows up. Anyway, And here's another one that might trouble some folks, and maybe in the name of free speech, we're talking about state owned buildings and property here, though, he removed a provision that limited the type of flags that were allowed to be displayed on Stato buildings and property, which would include only the Hile flag, US flag, pow Mia flag, and flags of official state agencies as approved by the governor.

So by removing that, he of course will be allowing then a state building or administrative agency or otherwise to display, for example, the LGBTQ Pride flag. I don't know if that was his intent by removing that limitation, but it's removed. Let's see here he've etoed a provision that would Sunset the Film and Theater Production tax Credit program prohibiting the award of the tax credit. Why are they entitled to

a tax credit? Is your business get one? It's like a magnet to get Hollywood to come out here and make movies or something. Anyway, it's not in there anymore, they say. The lawmakers now do have an opportunity to do line Item veto overrides, which I think is what Donovan Neil is going to be advocating for. However, that would require them to come back from their break. Three

fists of each chamber would be required to do. So let me just ask you, sort of a hypothetic or other a rhetorical question, do you think they'd be willing to come back from break in order to override vetos. So, still pouring through all the details of that one, and still trying to figure out what's in the Big Beautiful Bill and whether the House are representative moving on to the National Big Beautiful Bill, whether there's enough House members against it that it would prohibit it or prevent it

from passing. And some of the articles suggest as many as twenty Republicans are against some of the changes to send it made somewhat more cuts, and some are asking for less fewer cuts. Medicaid of course a big, sticky and hot topic, but right now it seems to be moving in the right direction, more people speaking out positively in favor of passage than negatively. But if you've got that many question marks floating around, there is a significant possibility that it will not pass. So you and I

will find out soon enough. Keep your popcorn out. And oh, I got Joey on the phone, Joey, welcome to the program. Happy Wednesday to you.

It was just such a charade. But the thing that really took me off during COVID was he was given away those free college education packages and money to people that would go get the vaccine.

Then they had the cash balance carryover provision, which he vetoed, would have put a forty percent cap in a school district carryover revenue or the unspent funds of a district that they have on hand at the end of a fiscal year. In other words, they didn't spend what of the one hundred percent revenue that they were entitled to, so they're sitting on that.

In seven fifty six fifty five KRC talk station, State Senator George Lang he'll be talking about the Ohio budget right off the top of the our news, followed by Judge Ennitor POULTONO. I sure hope you can stick around. Big things are happening.

Morning Show. House State Senator George Lang, currently serving his second term of the House State Representative people of the fourth Senate District covering the majority Butler County, elected by his Senate College the Service Senate Minority whip majority rather with for the one hundred and six thirty six General Assembly. He previously served a couple of terms Ohio House of Representatives. And he's here in the fifty five Carssee Morning Show

to talk about the Ohio budget bill. Mike DeWine vetoed sixty seven provisions in the bill. We'll talk a little bit about that. Welcome back, Senator Lang. It's a pleasure having you on the morning show.

And in nineteen seventy, Brian, the average Ohio and made ten percent more than the average American, Bryan. In twenty twenty, the average Ohioan made twelve percent less than the average American. And in nineteen seventy, we go from twenty four congressmen to fifteen. What happened the income tax. We put the

income tax in in nineteen seventy one. One tax after another, one regulation after another, Brian, we started driving businesses away and people went to where the jobs were. No state in America got their butt kicked worst in Ohio in terms of congressional representation loss from nineteen seventy to twenty twenty. By the way, last year, the average Ohio and made four percent more than the average American. And I guarantee you we're going to add a congressman in twenty thirty.

Wow, more than the previous twenty years COMBINEDIOA last year, fourteen percent of all startups in America were in Ohio. We are the startup capital of the world. We're just not the state to keep your business or the state to start it. I want to make us a state to grow it, to keep it, and to stay here.

oversight of these ridiculously costly regulations. This is one of the things Americans for Prosperity has its eye on by way of overwriting the veto. Were you a little shocked that he did that? And do you have any concept of or any idea of knowing why Governor de Wine pulled that particular one out.

thing we said. We did not intimidate them, and it was a simple fix that they could have made without any legislative action, and they told us no. You know that it's one of the problems with term limits, although I fully support it, but term limits and you end up giving power to lobbyists and bureaucrats, at least lobbyists. I understand their motive. It is the profit motive, a pure and noble motive. But these bureaucrats, they scare me and I don't understand their motive. And they are they are.

They have way too much power and Columbus today.

I think the simple to your answer to your question is, yeah, we do have I believe the will for some VETO overrides. I don't think we have the will to override all the VETO overrides, but I think you will see us do some. I don't think we'll be called back during the summer. You know, everybody has summer plans. I have recently been diagnosed with stage four colo rectal cancer. Some treatments down in Tijuana in July. And don't you dare awe me. I'm not a woe with me kind of guy.

I know you're not with you cancer kind of guy.

He vetoed a lot of the property tax reforms that were in the bill as well, and we are in desperate need a property tax reform, most notably seniors on fixed incomes. They're getting taxed right out of their houses. Senator, you know.

stayed local. None of it goes back to the state, but you had to vote on it, and your property taxes, the amount you personally paid would never go up unless you voted for another increase, and there was a chance that would go down is development and more homes were sold, But it was originally set that.

they need more money. And you know, I do trust the VOLT and then the good people at the since I public schools. But you know we can't just give them these bonuses every three years that valuations increase with it has to stop.

of July plans. It's sixty nine degrees right now. It is time for a traffic update. Chuck from the UCL Tramton Center.

the values articulated on July fourth, seventeen seventy six. I think you know the direct answered all those questions and go back to that Rains Act. He mentions this random three thousand You know tyrants there probably more than that. If you consider the entire administrative state, you know that that the wine pulled out those Rains Acts provisions is

directly related to that concept. If it has a financial impact beyond a certain dollar amount, any regulation that has been promulgated and put out there by the eggheads in the back room that aren't elected. The administrative state exists behind the scenes in Columbus just like it does in DC. If they put out a rule of regulation that causes you and I have financial impact over a certain amount, then the legislative branch has to vote on it specifically.

I mean they make these things up out a whole claw. If they pass the law and then they give them to the legisl or the administrative branch to start creating all these regulations that are supposed to comply with. You know, the perimeters and the scope of the law that was passed. Our elected officials don't bother with actually you know the specifics the underlying workings of the law that they pass. It passed that responsibility on as someone in the back room,

and then they they can't be accountable for it. It's amazing how that works. But you know why out loud, would Governor de Wine remove the provision which protects you and I and forces our elected officials to do their job and specifically vote on things that have a profound financial impact on us. Why would he do that? That's a legitimate question. So get in touch with your your representatives and tell them to vote to repeal the veto

of at least that provision. Coming up next Jodejennena Politano and by night down sixty six and clear skies will have the same overnight tomorrow night and then Independence Day of mostly sunny day ninety one fry. It's sixty nine degrees. Now it is time for traffic chuck.

the values of the Constitution. I don't know how that's going to change without some kind of a revolution. You know, this legislation that Trump wants with a very childlike name, a big beautiful bill, yeah, which pass the Senate by one vote thanks to an Ohioan who's the Vice President. I honestly think if he were still the junior senator from Ohio, he would have voted against it because it's

against something the things he believes in. But of course he now is the President's guy, and he'd have serious problems if he had broken the tie the other way because he doesn't believe in increasing the debt. He doesn't believe in adding one hundred I'm speaking of Vice President Vans, of course, formerly Senator Vans from Ohio. He doesn't believe in a trillion dollar defense budget to finance seven hundred

and fifty military installations in eighty foreign countries. Come on, nobody could even name the eighty countries, much less than seven hundred and fifty installations or what the hell they're doing.

whenever I can. I appreciate the fact that we have a US military, and I appreciate there are people willing to sign on the dotted line and lists for service when they have god knows no idea where they're going to be going. I consider them brave and patriotic. That said, the federal budget for military spending and the military spending itself, they can't even pass an audit. They've tried eight times and they can't. They don't have the documents or information

to qualify for an audit. And I see all the fraud, waste and abuse that's going on, whether it's been identified specifically or not. We got Medicaid fraud, we got Medicare fraud, we got every giant government program fraud, all those COVID nineteen programs that went out there. Fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, you know, damn well, there's all kinds of fraud, wasting abuse in that trillion dollar annual military budget.

Half the country is dependent on the government, either receiving government benefits, getting bills paid by the government, selling something to the government, or working for it. That is inconceivable to the founders that the federal government would become so big, so fat, so antithetical to the small government maximum individual values of July fourth, seventeen seventy six.

But when you go ahead and the government takes over that role in the name of doing something right for humanity, more and more people will hook themselves up to that just because it's convenient and easy to do so. And the government is a terrible overseer of whether someone is really truly deserving a needing of these various services. They just become well people hooking up their umbilical court to government and just calling to day on their own person responsibility.

take that money from us and give it away. This is almost an insoluble problem without the concept of repudiation. Repudiation means repudiating the nation's dead. How the hell are we going to pay back thirty seven trillion dollars? Well,

this so called big beautiful bill. If I were on the floor of the House standing next to Congress and Massey, I would look at my colleagues and say, you must hate your grandchildren, hate them because you just raised their taxes by fifteen or twenty percent in order to pay back the money that you're borrowing to spend today. Now,

what is repudiation. Repudiation happens when the borrower can no longer pay back the debt because the borrower is a known bankrupt to which the creditor should never have loan his money. So all those people and entities that buy federal government bonds are lending money to a known bankrupt that does not have the ability to pay them back, that has to borrow money in order to pay back the interest on borrowed money. That is a recipe for repudiation.

And of course the outcome for repudiation would be nobody would ever lend the federal governor Nickel again, Good, the Feds would have to live within their budget.

I'm not sure if he's going to mention it, but FBI did issue a warning to basically everyone here in the United States that Iranians maybe starting to engage in fiber attacks given our air strikes on their country's nuclear program. So he said, defense industrial based companies, particularly those possessing or holding relationships with Israeli research and defense firms, are at increased risk. But basically the risk is out for everyone.

Are online act activists of increasingly conducted website defacements and leaks of sensitive information exfiltrated from the victims. So d doos attacks, denial, denial, service tax and that kind of thing going on, and they expected to increase beyond guard take Dave Hatter's advice. Oh and one more thing in the Ohio budget bill. I started out the program this morning talking about it doing the job that parents should be doing. I started with this survey that Harris Poll did.

They ask parents, you know, what do they wish had never been invented when they think about their children growing up? Number one adult online content? Number two social media and number three messaging apps. Number four smartphones generally video games, the internet, streaming services, and television order in which those things the parents wish didn't exist. And I kind of chuckle over that because parents are in the position and ability to take all that away. Don't give you a

kid a smartphone. You don't have to worry about them accessing porn online. I mean, if they go to the neighbor's house and they have an online computer, of course they can do it. There's always workarounds, but removing the cell phone huge step in the right direction. And why would you send your cell phone with your child to school? They're just going to be on it all day. Well, the legislative branch and the governor have just signed into law in the budget bill banning cell phone use in schools.

One of the reasons articulated implementing the statewide ban in school lawmakers, rather than teachers or parents, then become the bad guys limiting access to cell phone, so they did the job for you. Anyway, it's under most circumstances K through twelve public schools will not children will not be

allowed to use cell phones. Districts have to adopt their own policies by January first of next year, so there'll be some circumstances where kids will have access to phones, but it must be specifically defined and it bans the cell phone use during the instructional day. That's in quotes, what does that mean? Jane Timkin offered that it meant the first bell in the morning until the final bell at the end of the day. But I don't think

it's defined in the legislation. Maybe that gives school districts some flexibility on what an instructional day is, because maybe there'll be periods during the day that aren't considered instructional, and then kids will have access to and ability to use their smartphones. I don't know. Going back to some of the points Judgenda Platano made, I thought, you know, we do put much control and power in the in the hands of the government, and they're irresponsible stewards of

our money generally speaking. Most notably, let's use an illustration here, a perfect one from the Wall Street Journals. William goalson today, the social security crisis is coming. This has been red flags weighed about the problems of social security now for years and years, our elected officials have never lifted a finger to solve the problem or correct it early. Now we've got a train wreck coming, he writes. Today's political den makes it difficult for genuine warning calls to break through.

But the Social Security systems trustees in late June sent a signal so alarming that America can't ignore it unless lawmakers do something. The Systems Trust Fund will be exhausted in the first quarter of twenty thirty three, sooner than earlier reports predicted. This crisis will trigger large cuts in benefits to current and new beneficiaries. So, my folks on fixed incomes out there living on Social Security, big problem

coming your way. To preserve social security, Congress will need to address the coming insolvency crisis no later than next the next president's first term. Time isn't on our siety, writes. Lawmakers acted tomorrow. Restoring social securities. Long term solvency would require a twenty two percent benefit cut for current and future beneficiaries and a payroll tax increased to sixteen percent from the current twelve or a combination of cuts and

tax heights. If we wait until the trust FULM was depleted again twenty thirty three, we would have to cut benefits by twenty six percent or the payroll tax would have to rise to nearly seventeen percent. Points of new factors explained why social Security is on this trajectory. The US is rapidly aging the number of beneficiaries rising a lot faster than the number of workers paying into the system, and the end of this democratic transition is decades away.

Just in two thousand, three point five million Americans eligible for Social Security. This year sixty four point seven, we went from twelve percent roughly the total eligible population to eighteen point six percent. It's on the rise, baby boomers, they say. By twenty thirty five, the SOI Security Trustee project the number of eligible Americans sixty five and order will rise to nearly twenty percent, while the total population and will increase by only five nobody's having babies anymore.

Plus we're living longer, he writes, two thousand, average sixty five year olds could expect to live for about seventeen and a half years. By this year, it's risen to more than nineteen point seven years, and demographers project that figure is going to continue to go up. So security expenditures have risen from their fifty year average to a much more sizable amount of gross domestic product this year, this year, and even more of course, in twenty thirty five.

Declining fertility means fewer workers to support each beneficiary. In two thousand and three point four workers per beneficiary. In twenty twenty four it was two point seven, and over the next day that's projected to drop down to two point three, which is why payroll taxes for current workers would have to increase so steeply by twenty thirty three to sustain the system without any benefit cuts. You can

count on benefit cuts absolutely. That piece of paper, they say, and you read it carefully, the one that shows you what your earnings were over your lifetime and tells you what your suggested payout is going to be. They write right in that it's not a guarantee. It's merely a calculation based upon current conditions today. So I'm not sure if you're in a position to tighten your belt, but you better be prepared because this is coming. And isn't

it crazy. They've known about this for such a long time. Every year they come out with these projections, it just gets worse and worse and more dire. But it's the third rail of politics. No one touches it. We're not going to do anything. This does is security, says everyone from both political stripes. Hey, you relied on it. I know you were forced to, But there's just a great illustration of the failure of government to mine the store and make the hard choices. Eight fifty five fifty five
