55KRC Wednesday Show - Jack Atherton, Alex T, Judge Napolitano

and it happens every Wednesday of late the Trump's Biblical Cabinet. Wow, Jack Etherdan's going to be explaining himself at seven oh five on that one. Is there something biblical about Drum's cabinet? I don't know, but we'll see what Jack has to say about it. I always appreciate his thoughtful insights and commentary. Brilliant man he is. So it's just a wonderful, wonderful addition to have him on the fifty five Casey Morning Show. My feeling about it anyway, and Climont County Veteran Services

joins the program at seven forty. Always have great things to pass along and information to pass along to veterans and the veteran families. Today at seven forty. We'll be doing just that. And I'm really not to discount Jack at the other day or the Climont County veterans, but I'm really looking forward to eight oh five Alex Chionta Filo. He'll be commenting on things political. Ohio did great, Hamilton County not so much. I'm guessing those are the words

of Joe Strekker on the rundown, stating the obvious. I just think of my wife's reaction before I went to bed on election. I certainly not knowing what the outcome of of the vast majority of the election is going to be, but having pretty much all the Hamilton County races completely called by that point in seeing that Hamilton County has gone full on one hundred percent blue. We lost Hamilton County prosecutor powers, we didn't get Sheriff Jim Neal, and then go around all the other races. It is

just over my lifetime. I had the conversation just yesterday with someone about that, how is it that Hamilton County has gotten so damn blue? And my thought was, I guess people just left. You know, our population increases, the world is a much bigger place now we've got a lot more people in it, you know, physically bigger, but at least in terms of number of people, and over time, people you know, expand move. They want to build a

bigger house on a bigger lot. They go out of Hamilton County and take their money and their conservative politics with them. Congratulations Claremont County, Butler County and Warren County. Anyway, Alex will comment on that, but inside baseball, will he tell us who JD. Van's replacement will be? Does he have any insight on that? About the State House? Is that your question, Joe? All of them are yours? How about no, I'm just gonna answer your question that will

they be constituent friendly? Will the cats in Columbus be herded? Will they get on the same page? And what, if anything, can we do in Hamilton County? Of course, going back to the initial overarching conversation topics with Alex Chirantifido again eightoh five for that, and then a really wild episode with Judge Edna Polatano his column three cheers for Hunter's pardon. Now you're gonna wonder why Judge and Polatona might be happy about the pardon, And I don't know these are

happy about the partner. He's happy about the discussion that he hopes will spring from it. Are you're going to have to go hardcore constitutional conservatism. The limitations on the federal government that are in bold letters in the Constitution. But the power of the federal government has gotten so big in spite of the limitations that the Constitution places on the federal government. At one point, there were no federal level crimes, with the exception of treason and I

one other one. But you know, the idea that there could be prosecutions, for example, income to failure to pay income taxes. When the founding fathers created the document of the Constitution, states would be doing that. And there was no, of course provision for paying income taxes, and the Constitution wasn'manted to allow for that. But this whole idea of federal government, you know, expansion and the creation of the FBI,

and all of these federal crimes. In the judge's position, I think from a hardcore pure constitutional perspective, they're all extra constitutional. So it's one thing to you know, say, yeah, everybody else would have been prosecuted under the law. Hunter Biden's getting a free pass. He is of course he's being treated better than the rest of us would be because he's the President's son. President's got the power of

the part, and who else enjoys that. Well, he's getting the benefit of it, and it's really hurting the Democrats politically. You and I be mad about it because you and I would be in the crossairs of some federal agency, the Department of Justice of the FBI. We would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We would

have already probably been in jail right now. But behind all that, the judge's point being, the Constitution doesn't even allow for any of that, so more of a legal theoretical kind of thing, and of course judge tends to do that, so it makes this conversations interesting. So if you want to give me a call five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two to three talk pound five fifty on AT and T funds.

Of course, case Hunter Biden's name is still all over the news and people are still reacting to it, and Democrats pulling their hair out over the whole thing because it made them all look like liars and idiots, and it took the wind out of their sales about being able to point to Donald Trump and say, oh, he thinks he's above the law. You know, you get the basic premise of it, But I thought this thing was

particularly funny on a number of levels. Federal judge who was overseeing the Hunter Biden tax cases, had a bit of a rebuke of President Biden's claim issued or statements issued at the time he issued the pardon, the predicate for the pardon, the whole idea that he was treated unfairly.

US District Judge Mark Scarze, Central District of California for keeping track q's President Biden, and what is described by Fox News as a scathing five page order of in the judge's words, rewriting history with the pardon and suggesting that the bread of the pardon granted to his son is unconstitutional. Speaking of things constitutional, maybe you we'll get

the judge a comment on this. He wrote, quote, the Constitution provides the president with the broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the president the authority to rewrite history. Soar as he went on reacting to the President's statement on his son's tax case.

The judgment, that's not true. According to the President, no reasonable person who looks at the facts that mister Biden's cases can reach any other conclusion than mister Biden was singled out only because he is the President's son. But two federal judges expressly rejected Biden's arguments that the government prosecuted mister Biden because of his famelia relation to the President and the president's own attorney general and Department of

Justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charge. In the President's estimation, this legion of federal civil sergeon servants, the undersigned included, meaning himself the judge, are unreasonable people. Judge said he would dispose of the case. He was he found fault with the way the pardon was issued. It was a technical thing. He has a hyperlink link that that allowed people to go over clicking on the link to see the wording of the pardon. And he said,

and that's not satisfactory. It's got to be formally executed. And I will dismiss all this stuff once has been formally executed. But I fought one of the comical points on this, The judge wrote, subject to the following discussion, the Court assumes the pardon is effective and will dispose of the case, referencing the formality. The Supreme Court long has recognized that, notwithstanding its nearly unlimited nature, the pardon power extends only two past offenses. Close quote. Now, why

do I find that funny? Because, first off, you know, we all joke about and in awe of and dismay over the reality that you know, he gave basically Hunter Biden a free pass for literally anything the guy did that represents a federal crime. Now he can't pardon him for state crime. So if you know Hunter Biden committed murder in the state of New York, it may have been you know, going back to Nepolitana's point about the seis scope and expansive nature of the federal government and

the crimes under it. Murder, I guess, in certain circumstances actually can be found to be a federal crime. But if he committed murder in the state of New York, New York law would govern and the pardon wouldn't cover him. So, okay, five years ago he blew somebody away with his formally disposed of in a trash can near a high school handgun,

then he can still go to jail for it. But I think the judge is a little skeptical that hunter Biden is going to Oh, here's upon keep his nose clean, noting that the pardon power extends only two passed offenses. So judge pointing out that a hunter, don't go back to your old ways because that piece of paper that saved your life and your neck while ruining the political careers of a lot of Democrats and taking the wind

out of their sales. As Trump gets ready to be sworn into office next January, you could still be held accountable five sixteen fifty five care see the talk station five one, three, seven, four nine fifty five hundred eight hundred and eighty two to three Talk Go the toon five fifty on eighteen T Funds got a comment, love to hear from me. I'll be right back.

are as well. Be a Price Hill Chili. Closing out the year, Bob Wetter, mister Wishtree himself is going to be there dressed as Santa Claus and strong encouragement for you to help out those in need by getting an ornament off one of the multitude of wish trees out there that are almost everywhere and you can ship it directly to the person in need of the group that's that hung the ornament up in need, I think you bring it back to wherever you pick up the ornament

in the first place. Bob will give you all the details on that today. I just want to support the organization. Bob's been at this since nineteen eighty five. Just really a great thing he does every year. And as far as Listener Lunch goes, I did mention we're going to be a Price Hell Chili gonna go a new direction next year.

got a really nice menu there. It looks like everything that it's going to have something for everybody in terms of the menu. And then back to Little Miami Brewery in Milford. I talked to Debbie, the woman who I sort of have on retention to shadow, to set up listener lunch. I said, maybe we can just, you know, once a month hit a new brewery. Lord knows there's no shortage of them. I said, first thing start with is that they have a at least reasonably comprehensive menu, and

then we'll move on from there. So that's kind of the theory and the the idea behind it. We'll see how things shake out in twenty twenty five. Beyond that, I thought this was a little bit scary as Vva Ramaswammy and the Doge Department, looking for places to save money shut down. Ramaswammy wants to pull the plug on

that battery plant over in Indiana. Of course, in order to make these batteries, you got to have the well rare earth minerals, right, the key ingredients for making these batteries, and sadly get the vast majority of that comes from China, so we directly support China's economy. Get a load of this. China just announced some restrictions banning certain specific rare earth minerals. So we have the Biden administration issuing new restrictions on

China's semiconductor industry. They're calling it a tit for tat. Beijing announced an export ban on the following gallium, germanium, antimony, as well as other critical minerals with I would argue significant potential military implications for the United States. Bloomberg reporting on this one, saying that the Chinese Communist Ministry announced the new export controls yesterday morning, adding that tighter controls on graphite sales will also be seen, suggesting this ain't

over yet. According to the statement, the US has generalized the concept of national security and politicized and weaponized econom trade and tech issues. It has abused export control measures and unreasonably restricted certain products. Are product exports to China? All true and with more to come if you think about what Trump's been saying, but you know, tariffs and

export restrictions, et cetera. Now, Biden administration on Monday revealed broader restrictions on these artificial intelligence chips that can be delivered to China, prohibiting the sale of advanced chips to more than one hundred Chinese companies. In other words, the military and China is going to use them. We don't want to help the Chinese military with our cutting edge chips, Ergo,

we're not going to send them there anymore. Commerce Secretary Go Riomando told reporters on over the weekend on Sunday, the move represented these strongest controls ever enacted by the US to degrade the PRC's ability to make the most advanced chips and that they're using in their military modernization. Said they. You know, they worked closely with experts and then history and allied countries to ensure that our actions

protect national security while minimizing unintended commercial consequences. Well, maybe China isn't played by the commercial consequence rules, because of course, after that announcement was made, this announcement about the banning of these various rare earth minerals was announced. And here's where the fun part comes. China produces ninety four percent of the world's gallium eighty three percent of the germanium

critical metals used in the production of semiconductors, LEDs, and transistors. Okay, and they had a breakdown here. I found this on Breitbart, the breakdown of rare earth materials used to make each go to Europe no longer necessary and ridiculously expensive f thirty five airplane. Nine hundred and twenty pounds in that one. You know, Arlely Burke DDG DASH fifty one looks like a destroyer of some sort. That's five two hundred pounds

in one of those boats. And to cribbage, my submarine or friend in SSN with seven seventy four Virginia class submarine has nine thousand, two hundred pounds of rare earth ingredients going back to some of which China produces the vast majority of senior analysts at the consulting firm Trivia, a Trivium China guy named Joe Mazer, speaking with Bloomberg, said these export bands on critical minerals have been in the hopper for a long time and are intended as

a warning. He said it's a clear signal of China's preparedness strike back more forcefully against the US economic pressure than it has in the past few years. Accord to data from the US Geological Survey, we here in the United States import about half our supply of gallium and germanium metals from right China. It's you know, they got you by the short ones, if you really think about it.

We learned a lot of lessons in COVID nineteen and one of the biggest lessons I think we all learned is apparently we are just inextricably intertwined with I guess probably our biggest foe in the world, China. We get everything from him, including critical resources that may go into our pharmaceuticals. Five twenty six fifty five are seed de talk station. Local stories coming up. Feel free to call.

I'd rather talk to you than do local stories, but we do with that Ana Stack is stupid coming up of you right back.

Uh Thursday night, pardon me, sixteen degrees with mostly clear skies and a sunning day on Friday high up thirty four twenty three degrees right now, but you by KCC talk station five thirty one Happy Wednesday probably one thirty seven fifty five hundred, eight hundred eighty two three talk found five fifty on eighteen to t funds over the local story. A little over a year and a half after its debut, a safe Haven baby box, the one in Lovinon, was actually used to s render

a baby girl, according to Lebanon Police. The box, located at the fire station on North Broadway, installed October of last year, the tenth one in Ohio. On Monday, Lebanon Police said the City of Lebanon Communications Center received an alarm from the box spent three point thirty in the afternoon. Police fire responded They found a baby girl had been surrendered, immediately taking it since a children's hospital and Warren County

Children's Service officials were notified. Of course, these baby boxes installed by fire departments across the country, giving parents the option to safely and securely and anonymously surrender a newborn if they're unable to provide care. Under Ohio law, the baby box, known as a Newborn Safety Incubator, allows parents to anonymously surrender the newborn without facing any criminal charges. Once the baby is placed inside, the device locks and

sends a series of alerts to first responders. Thank god. Since it's launched in twenty sixteen, thirty five babies have been surrendered nation and wide in these baby boxes. I guess not everyone can work in advance with an adoption agency, so certainly I feel very confident that those babies will find good homes down the road. Let's pray for that, don't speculate that. According to the Cincinnati Fire Department, of course, we all know about the Dan Carterbeard Bridge. They're in

the process of fixing it. It's taking a little while. We all know it started with a fire beneath the bridge, burning and melting the girders, obviously negating any argument from the nine to eleven skeptics that fire started by airplane fuel could burn a building down. If you can light a well, some rubber in a playground on fire and bring a bridge down, we know we have a problem to question who started it, and that's where the rumors

circular are circulating. We heard initially maybe it was a car fire, maybe it was a homeless encampment SINCINNTI Fire Department of statement yesterday. Sharing information too soon can compromise the integrity investigation by jeopardizing witness safety, alerting potential suspects, and revealing crucial strategies. For this reason, until the fire investigative unit has definitive reason to share, we will not

be able to share anything. So WCPO attended the Cincinnati Climate, Environment and Infrastructure Committee meeting held last night Apparently that's held bi weekly, and they asked each member of the committee about the status of the fire investigation. Basically, each of the council members, Mick Owens, Mark Jeffries, and Jeff Cramerton, as well as Seth Walsh merely confirmed what the fire department said. We don't know and we're not going to speculate.

Mark Jeffries said, you know. They asked if the fire department needs to share an update on where they are, which is I suppose a legitimate question. Can you just least get us something Jeffrey's response, I do. I asked the city manager recently when we're going to provide an update. I know that there we're working diligently to get to

the bottom of it. I think will be helpful now, given it's a few weeks to just provide an update, even if it's work in progress, like, hey, we don't have all the answers, but here are the areas we're exploring, I think will be helpful to share an update, So I agree something anyway. Nonprofit bike share program Red Bike. They have enough funds to operate until April next year. Apparently there are still questions if it can well go

beyond that astute observation. For all those folks that are going to be riding bikes in January, you can get a red bike, don't count on it when the warm weather shows up. Though. You should see Jeff's face right now. It's times like this I wish we had a camera on him. Well.

Red Bike's new financial structure proposal includes moneys from Metro, Northern Kentucky, the City of Cincinnati, and maybe corporate sponsors or tourist partnerships. Which reminds me of a conversation I had yesterday. Wasn't it just yesterday Joe Strekker with Todd Zenzer, fraud expert and accountant expert, doing an analysis of the CINCINNTI pension program. All the money seems to go to pet projects, and we'll just throw the Red Bike program, as cool as it may be, into one of the

pet projects. The penn is so underfunded. We have a colossal, slow moving train wreck facing us in the City of Cincinnati. Not doing anything about that. Though, if you didn't get to hear Todd. I recommend strongly you check out that podcast fifty five k SEE dot com. I'll be right back with the stack of stupid. I hope you can stick around.

like that. Blah, stacker stupid. Now you can call if you won. You know, I go. I say I'd rather talk to the listeners. But here we go, and wow, this is pretty amazing to me. Several top veteran affairs official in Tennessee had to resign following an internal investigation as well as a broader congressional probe into alleged sexual misconduct.

Credit to Breitbart for reporting on this one, congressional investigators discovered that one single guy who resigned, whose name they did not say out loud, but sources familiar say was I say it was bargaining, was a bargaining unit biomedical employee. One guy had dozens of sexual relationships with women who worked at the Mountain Home VA Medical Center in Tennessee.

Investigation and investigators told Breitbart this one guy slept with no fewer than thirty two different women who worked at this one medical center, and the man had several of the women and bragged about their exploits, heading insult to injury on an online group forum on a government communication portal that VA officials used to communicate about veteran healthcare

and facility operations. Apparently, what's more, sources familiar with the congressional investigation said the uncovered than an orgy of at least twelve officials who worked at the facility took place. At this point, not clear whether it happened on government I know, on government property at the VA facility or an off site orgy. But well, I guess the point that being that a dozen government workers all got together,

all employed in the same place. At least two of the employees of the facility admitted to having sex on the grounds of the VA hospital. The senior Congressional aid familiar with the facts of the ongoing investigation, speaking with Breke bart quote, the fact that the culture would even allow this to happen in the first place is absolutely wild, and it all starts at the top, so it threatens to upend the closing days of the outgoing to Democrat

President Joe Biden's administration. Couldn't go senior officials like VA Secretary Dennis McDonagh, I don't know. In addition to the biomedical employee, the guy who investigators said had sex with again thirty two different women, several other officials have also resigned, and the as the investigations have gotten in have intensified. The director of the Mountain Home facility also resigned, and at least two other employees there have resigned thirty two

and one facility. Let's just say they have rather loose moral standards, wouldn't you. I'm not here to cast argue. I'm here to cast judgment. But wow, what about all the other people that work there? Do they do you think they feel left out that they weren't included in the whole mix. I don't know.

Listen todds ens Or yesterday here on the fifty five krc Morning Show, crazy stuff regarding that pension plan and negligence on the part of our elected officials over a period of decades. Anyway, the stack is stupid. Apparently Raising Caine's dipping sauce really high on just Wreckords list of thumbs up, so much so that he said this maybe justified this stack of stupid article. Who can argue with that.

Last Friday afternoon, thirty one year old woman arrested for strong arm robbery after she became a hostile both verbically and physically. That's in the arrest report after fast food workers did not include eight eight raising cane dipping sauce containers in her pickup order. What, according to the court reports, Mackenzie neil A Keeling rather picked up her grub from

a Raising Caine's restaurant in Clearwater. Later discovering that she was missing eight packs of Caine's sauce, she went back to the restaurant spoke to the female manager who provided the achilling with the dipping sauce. However, the manager, Tatiana Herbert, declined her request that she provided with extra sauces in

return for, in the woman's words, wasting her time in gasoline. So, after being denied the sauce, Keeling became what was described as hostile, both verbally and physically, began yelling at the eatery, disturbing staff and customers, and during this tirade, Kling shot out of her shot out her right hand with force, hitting Herbert in the in one of her legs, and then she then allegedly tried to tear off the victim's keys and Kine's ID from a lanyard attached to Herbert's belt.

Police pointed out the victim was in fear and noted that a couple of raising Kine's employees were there to witness the whole thing, and the whole thing was captured on close circuit television footage. No kidding, just killing. Arrested and booked into the County Jail, from which she was released on a twenty five hundred dollars bond. Her lawyer entered it not plea on her behalf, presumably to give

him enough time to negotiate a settlement agreement. And it's pointed out here, an extra one point five ounce container of Cain's dipping sauce, beloved by executive producer Joe Strecker, costs thirty nine cents. So these things aren't free, and you should have no expectation that you should be given eight of them with your one order of whatever Cain's product you bought. How's that we go to Western Connecticut, a multi million dollar mansion destroyed by a fire happened

on Thanksgiving. Western Fire Department responded to the fire three forty PM. Said the callers initially described the incident as a garage fire, but when the firefighters got there, apparently the fire had rapidly extended to the home. And I'm staring at a picture of it and I would say, yeah, it's completely engulfed in flames. They tried what they called

an aggressive fire attack. Anyway, the dangerous fire conditions were overwhelming, and the entire home burned down multi million dollar home.

Fire Marshal. However, based on the preliminary investigation, it appears the fire began in the garage and was the result of deep frying a turkey. Idiots doing idiot things because there idiots home. Yet a stute observation, just tracker who pointed out they could figure out that this multi million it's actually three point eight million dollar home burned to the ground, but because of a turkey fire, they can't figure out what burned down the Dan Beard Bridge. Legitimate point.

Let's see here, Florida man, let's stay in Florida. Mom there allegedly stole several items from Target using what they call a bar code trick, police said, though she posted incriminating evidence on her popular tictok account that ultimately alerted authorities to her crimes and leading to her arrest twenty three years yep. Marlena VELAs twenty two hosts a TikTok page posting more than three hundred and fifty six thousand

followers that receives millions of views. Don't know why. Her Marlena Villas account features mom content with her two small children and also highlights products. Cape Coral Police Department accused they're stealing hundreds of dollars in merchandise from a Target store commenced. The caper commenced October thirtieth when the loss prevention team over at Target Cape Coral caught a woman using the self checkout register without scanning the product's actual

bar codes. Instead, she allegedly scanned a fake bar code, of course, with cheaper prices and a press release, police said sixteen nights miscellanious household goods clothing were stolen. Total losses stolen items valued at five hundred dollars and thirty

two cents. They verified this with Target security cameras. They shared video screenshots shots of her on social media pages and asked the public to help identify her as she was unknown to police, but of course, because she's not unknown on TikTok, officers ultimately found her TikTok account, which documents her getting ready on October thirtieth in the same outfit and glasses going to target.

feel free. If not, I'm on my own. I understand that, But a lot of interesting things to go over in the six clock hour. And then fast forward to seven oh five with Jack Atherton Trump's Biblical Cabinet. I'll be right back.

Time for some fellowship and some fun. Continuing the holiday spirit, we'll call it our Christmas listener lunch, which we do obviously in years past has been a little closer to Christmas, but since we implemented the first Wednesday of the month policy with notable exceptions like the January listener once, which I think is going to take place on the eighth, so be like the second Wednesday of the month could give him the holidays and New Year's Day and all that.

But we'll get the details on that down the road. In any event, though, pryceill chilly today about eleven thirty. You can show up whenever you feel like it. We'll say our I heard media Christmas party today. I know Joe Strekker's looking forward to that again, another time at which I wish the listeners could see the look on Joe Strekker's face. Clairemont Caddy Veterans, It's coming up in one hour, go ahead and do the rundown for folks

just tuning in, and thank you for tuning in. Jack Aviden, we get to hear from Jack the brilliance of Jack advidon uh Trump's biblical Cabinet. That's the title of his subject matter today. I'm really looking forward to how Jack shakes that out. But he's always brilliant though. It's fun to listen to Jack. Seven Clarmont County Veteran Services returns to talk about well veteran services. Alex Charantifilo coming up with two hours. We're looking forward to having Alex on

the program. Ohio Republican Party chairman he is, we'll get the inside baseball. Does he know anything about who jd. Vance's replacement is going to be? If he does, will he tell us State House?

tap his intellect for that. In the eight o'clock hour, and of course, Judge Ennen of Polatano with an interesting take on Hunter Biden's pardon, moving away from whether or not it was right or wrong, regardless of the politics of it. The politano thinks that it's extra constitutional the crimes that he has and he was accused of committing, like, for example, the Second Amendment, the right to keep him bare arms shall not be infringe. Well, why is it then that you have to fill out an FFL form

to acquire a firearm? At least in some cases, of course, you buy one from your neighbor. You don't have to do that. That's the gun show loophole that so many

Democrats want to get rid of. But if, as the judge argues, the federal government and the constitutional you know, the original Constitution and as the country was founded, the republic that we are, which limits expressly the powers of the federal government to certain specific defined areas which do not include all include the thousands and thousands of federal crimes on the books. So yeah, Hunter Biden is guilty

of the charges. He agreed that he was guilty. He admitted the lying on his income taxes, and he of course was found guilty of the firearms charge. If the underlying crimes are not constitutional, it's something to think about. It's food for thought. We'll be going to law school with Judge of Poloton at eight thirty to talk about that on a theoretical level. And I think at the end of the column that I that I'm thankful to get early. If history is a guide, my hopes, along

with those of Thomas Jefferson, are illusory. No, I don't think the federal government is going to get rid of its criminal code. I'd love to hear from you. For got a comment five one three seven fifty, eight hundred and eight two three taco with Tom five fifty on eighteen and t found And back over to Hunter Biden's and still the hot topic going on in the world today. We call that topic a I guess in radio that's what they call it anyway, speaking because they did all

the behind the scenes research. The whistleblowers Joseph Ziegler and Gary Shapeley defending themselves in an opinion piece Hunter Biden's Pardon your tax dollars at work? Ordinary Americans are held accountable when they defraud the irs, not the president's son, stating the obvious. So we got this whole series of

events leading up to the pardon of Hunter Biden. And as they point out, these Disney narrative shifts happened because of the two of us blew the whistle and exposed the preferential treatment the Biden Justice Department gave to a powerful political family. Our story never changed because we told the truth. Going back to the reasons, President Biden articulated for issuing the pardon of his poor son, who was picked on by evil forces in the government. That sounds familiar.

They say President Biden's pardon is an insult to every honest, tax paying American. He claimed that his own Justice department unfairly targeted his son. On the contrary, we the irs investigators, produced mountains of evidence and testified under oath about the machinations his Justice Department, including mister Weiss, used to shield the Biden family from a thorough investigation of alleged corruption in Ukraine, Romania and China. Those of us who remember,

these are the guys that wanted to interview him. These are the guys that were told they couldn't interview them. These are the guys that were victims of the slow walking of the investigation which caused the statute limitations to run out on all these behind the scenes criminal activity and probably FARO violations. As they point out that this year jury found Hunter Biden guilty of federal gun charges in Delaware, and he pleaded guilty to wilful. He emphasized

that word wilful tax felonies in California. President's letter falsely suggests that his son was merely late in filing and paying his taxes because of serious addictions. He wrote that in such cases, when back taxes are paid with penalties and interests, they are often resolved without criminal penalties. But his son was treated different differently. That's malarkey, they wrote, of course, not even bailed reference to Joe Biden's favorite word.

The American people need to know, and the President's letter omits that Hunter Biden admitted to intentional felony tax evasion, criminal charges for which ordinary Americans are held accountable every day. Hunter Biden admitted that he filed false tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service knowingly and willfully while sober false deductions taken on his tax return contradicted statements he made

in his memoir, which he wrote while sober. These false deductions included things like sex club membership, luxury vehicle rentals, and house rentals for his then girlfriend. Ordinary Americans that be you and me or routine held accountable for that kind of tax fraudmund Hunter Biden will escape accountability because his father is president, and Joe Biden's letter doesn't mention that his broad pardon also absolves his son of any other crime in the past decade that the Justice Department

didn't fully investigate. A public filing in August, Special Council Weiss's office allegs that Hunter Biden quote agreed to attempt to influence US public policy he was quote on behalf of a Romanian businessman, but didn't charge Hunter with a

violation of the Foreign Agent's Relation Registration Act. I'm not sure if those charges have a statute limitations, folks, But because they had the evidence that would support a Foreign Agent Registration Act a charge that could certainly be pursued by the Trump administration, that's obviously something that Joe Biden wanted to get ahead of the dishonesty that has infected the Washington political class must stop, they write, And the

bureaucrats and the Justice Department and IRS who have abused their power and acted unethically ought to be held accountable. Yeah, don't hold your breath for that. I'm still waiting for Lois Learner to be held accountable for the actions that she committed und to the Obama administration. Not gonna happen, they write. The concert retaliation against us as whistleblowers should cease, and those responsibles should be held to account. Nonprofit efforts

such as Defendwhistleblowers dot Com are helping. Without serious reform and major changes in personnel and policies, something like this will happen again. We the irs, investigator whistleblowers, will keep our oathes as sworn federal law enforcement officers, stand up for fair and equal treatment of every taxpayer and speak out against improper politization of the Justice Department, which of course was the point of their letter to the American people.

Rules for thee, not for me. And the Democrats are getting angrier and angrier as they view the wasteland before them. In the aftermath of Joe Barton and Joe Biden's pardon of his criminal son, taking the wind out of their sales about Trump and what he might do in the future. Coming to a six sixteen fifty five KRCD talk station, great time to mention doctor Fred Pack. I saw a Facebook post was a couple of weeks ago. I hate to someone who said they just absolutely hate going to

the dentists. I'm like, are you kidding me? I love going to the dentists. Come out of there feeling your teeth are all fresh and clean. You know, hopefully you get a really good bill of health. And I love seeing doctor Fred Peck. He's just a terrific guy that most state of the art office you're ever going to go into a dentistry generally speaking, but specifically cosmetic industry is his true passion. He is a credited fellow with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Cream of the Crop.

I think there's only fifty of them in the world. There's only three of them in the state of Ohio, along with doctor Meghan Freu. She is amazing in terms of keeping you comfortable and making you feel at ease. If you're one of those folks that doesn't like seeing the dentists. Apparently she is the queen of that doctor

Meghan Freu working on her way to accreditation. That means the emerging years and years of experience with doctor Fresh, with her fresh perspectives and the latest techniques to craft a stunning smile makeover. Yes, no problem, You're in the best possible hands for cosmetic dentistry. But in terms of general dentistry as well, and if you need sedation dentistry and that kind of thing, they do it. It is a full service, exceptional dental clinic and you'll love all

government things they can provide to them. He's just going to pack up your bags. You're going to move to Claremont County, or Warren County, or Butler County, or may even head across the river to the beautiful state Commonwealth of Kentucky. I'm glad you're doing that, Jay, and I hope you inspired other listeners to do exactly the same. Because if I'm in Columbus as an elected official and the city as society comes to me with hat and hands saying we're really gonna have a big problem here,

I was like, you know, where did this start? I mean, how many years has this hole been getting bigger and bigger? How many years do you continue to throw taxpayer dollars at new stuff and things. Oh, I see that you built a streetcar on debt. It's got five million dollars a year of maintenance and upkeep charges, and oh you call it free and you call it a success. You had to sell the railroad because you refuse to take care of the roads and infrastructure that you were responsible for.

Since the moment in time they were built or constructed, you let them fall apart part every year, the number of miles of roads you're supposed to repair never gets addressed. And that problem just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger, to the point where you have to sell the most valuable money generating asset in the city of Cincinnati owns. I'd call this a problem of your own making. I got two words for you, and it ain't Happy Birthday, Goodbye,

getting worse worse every year. We're paying out of principle, we're losing money, the investments not getting the rate of return that we thought it was going to get. Problem keeps getting worse. They keep ignoring it. It's one of the things he brought up is I can't remember which council person wanted to for the taxpayers of the cities Cincinnati to pay for installing. Was it stained glass windows in Avondale?

nonprofit red bike share program. You may have seen those downtown if you borrow the bike and you know it's motorized and you con cruise around. They do have enough fund to operate until April, but according to Daniel Goodman and Rowan reporting the for WCPO, there are questions about whether it's going to last beyond April. Props to Joe Strecker for observing that probably very few people are going to want ride around on a red bike when it's

seventeen degrees out, but ignore that reality. Red Bike looking for long term funding commitments to continue operations past April. They say they're looking for three year commitments from public partners. Mark Jefferies, counselman, said he's been working with a coalition

of folks over the last eight months. He says he's confident that a deal can be reached for funding, saying we've had conversations with in Northern Kentucky and Metro I think early part of the year we'll have all the commitments. Read my new financial structure proposal includes money from Metro Northern Kentucky, the City of Cincinnati meaning taxpayers, and maybe corporate sponsors. And if corporate sponsors step up to the plate want to do that, put their little logo on

the red bite. I am all about doing it that way. Bike share requires subsidies for all users. Consultants analyze that a fair box only covers thirty seven percent of overall costs per ride, and the Go program requires further subsidies to lower the cost. And again going back to the high comedy props the just tracker again, just make it free, with props to Cribbage Mic for making the same comment. You know, like the street car. If you make it free,

then it doesn't cost anybody anything. Not how that works. Since a fire department refuses to say what happened yet in terms of how the Big Mac Bridge aka Dan Daniel Carter Beard Bridge caught fire, they say sharing information to soon can compromise the integrity of the investigation by jeopardizing witness safety, alerting political our potential suspects, and revealing critical strategies. For this reason, until the fire investigative unit

has definitive reason to share. We will not be able to share anything, so we're not going to get any updates. Channel nine followed up with the Cincinnti Climate Environment Infrastructure Committee, which held its meeting last night. Several council people were there, Mika Owens, Mark Jeffries, Jeff Cameronon and others, and each of them was asked do you know anything, and all of them, looking back at the Cincinni Fire Department statement said no, we don't know anything, but we'd like to

get some information. So keep your popcorn out, folks. Someday we may find out. Six thirty five. If you see the talk station, feel free to call. Got more cost stories to talk about, including if you think we got a bad here in the city of Cincinnati, Holy cow, residents of the City of Chicago getting a little bit angry,

and they're all Democrats too. But before that, plumbing done right, plumb tight plumbing, and count of my friends with plumb tight to do the right work for you residential plumbing needs from northern Kentucky all the way to Dayton. They do well, I mean well better than well because their customer service is fantastic every customer. They are treated with truly exceptional customer experience. You can accomplish, They accomplish what

they delivered to you. Excellent plumbing. It's because it's the highest quality products, services, and customer relations in the industry. Reason they enjoy an A plus with a better business. Vereau got a whole bunch of comments from my listeners about how great the Plump type plumbers treated their home and how great the plumbing work was done, and the price always fair and ethical. They'll never try to say you anything.

today is no different than the norm. Uh fast forward one hour from now, we get the Claimont County Veteran Services back in study to talk about well veteran services and some updates and things that are available from my veteran friends in the audience. Alex Trout Tofilo. At eight h five, we will talk inside Baseball on JD Vance's replacement. Will Alex reveal anything about who the replacement might be? Has someone been chosen yet that we don't know about it?

How about the State House? A think got to be a constituent friendly question from us, Trecker. I'm gonna go know on that one in advance and we'll see what he has to say about that. And can we do anything about Hamilton County? Is it a lost cause getting Hamilton County to get more conservative? And I say the answers no. Judge of Poltano also at eight thirty, I say the answer is no, it can be done. You can turn things around. And I think you saw that

with the presidential election. Who thought Donald Trump was gonna win. None of the Democrats. I mean, we had eight constant years, if not more, of just constant badgering, prosecutions, law fair, demonization. The whole mainstream media is always one hundred percent against him. He couldn't walk outside his front door about getting criticized

for how he ran outside his front door. Racist, misogynist, Nazi came out, the Nazi thing, the threat to democracy, which of course they're well, they don't have that argument anymore given Joe Biden's parting of Hunter Biden. But the left wing policies in democrats cities that unfolded during the period of time over Joe Biden's presidency, the defunding the police, lack lives matter protests, just this absolute you know, the

decriminalization of things. And of course California has been living with that for a little bit longer than just the Biden administration. But the effects are literally being felt, and none of the effects are positive ones. I mean, going back to Todd Zenser's comments about the financial state of the City of Cincinnati, how you can't get rid of the pension obligation. I'm sorry. What you have done is pet project yourself and failure failed to do your jobs.

Roads have fallen apart, Bridges are falling apart. The stuff you're supposed to take care of, you well pushed to the side in favor of this organization funding that organization. You know the fill in the blank. You probably have your own favorite list. Mine happens to be number one. The streetcar, but we all know that. But another Democrat city, Chicago, you may have heard of it. Mayor Brandon Johnson, Democrat

among a city overwhelmingly Democrat. I live there. I know how bad it is to be a conservative individual in Chicago. He's getting airfral from his own people, which makes sense.

Democrats fighting back against Democrat policies, most notably Chicago's New Arrivals Mission, which of course relates to illegal immigrants, Sanctuary City declaration, and everything that goes with it, food, clothing, houses, housing, shelter, education, etc. So far has cost the city five hundred and seventy four and a half million dollars since August of twenty two, and the mayor is now trying to overcome a one billion with a B budget shortfall by the end of

the year. The solution a sixty million dollar property tax increase, and of course the residents there that probably voted for mayor of Brandon Johnson are not real happy about it. And I watched some video from this open hearing they had the other day on this and they are mad as hell. One woman, I got a great way we can do with this budget. First, let's start with cutting off illegals getting free everything, free housing, free schooling, free food. Yeah,

let's start with that. That'll save us a lot of money. Let's start there. And let's start with you. Your salary. You're going down in history, is the worst mayor in America. Let's start with cutting yours. You make too much money. It's a cheap shot. But Rah, one of the residents, said that she is an immigrant who came to the United States legally, and that she, in her words, very very embarrassed for what my other fellow Latin American citizens

are doing in this city. On behalf of the people that work, on behalf of the people that pay taxes, on behalf of the people that can contribute to the city. Said, I like to make clear that not everyone's the same. These people came with a wide door open, and they feel entitled to many things that nobody has. There are US citizens suffering from poverty, there are US citizens on public aid, and these people are here just enjoying the

benefits becoming delinquents and they have no consequences. One guy said, after asking for mayor's undivided attention. So this just proves to you the lack of leadership that you show in this city. You can't even give me straight eye contact. Now I'm going to let you know now, the people

of Chicago, we're done with you. The new Arrivals program, he said in April, was to provide short term emergency shelter to manage the humanitarian crisis, while making long term investments in the city's capacity to handle future challenges related to displacement and emerging migration patterns. In other words, this ain't over. This flood of illegals is going to continue to come into this country. Oh but maybe a presidential

watch had something to do with stopping the flow. Maybe, just maybe, if Donald Trump can bring about a closed border and can solve the problem of at least the criminal immigrants. I do not believe as I sit here today and I will not believe that there is going to be such a thing as mass deportation. That's a label. The Left is stuck on this because they're going to talk just get the humanitarian crisis mass deportation. This is like rounding up the Japanese and putting them in internment camps.

You can hear the rhetoric right now. But if you start with the criminals, if you start with the known convicted, bind through process, people who are out on the street committing crimes, Immigrants who have come here and let allow to be stayed, like in sanctuary cities where they have committed crimes, that have been through the system, prosecuted or maybe even released back out on bail or no bail.

You got them demonstrallly having committed a crime. Start there, and it's to be one of those now who can argue with that kind of things. Start from the premise that they're here illegally, that you have the right to deport them. Let us put them at the front of the hearings because they've committed crimes, proving themselves to be well a danger to the citizenry. This is something someone in elected capacity has an obligation to do. Uphold the laws of the United States of America protect us from

threats both foreign and domestic. That kind of stuff welcome to well, threats domestic people who have no legal right to be in our country, committing felonies and killing people and raping children in traffic children if you know where they are and you have them dead to right, or they have been convicted of something like that is the other side, the left or whoever supports this unmitigated, unflowed, unregulated flow of humanity into our country. Are they going

to try to argue that they shouldn't be deported. There aren't enough seats at the trough right now, and I don't believe you can accomplish getting every single human being who qualifies as an illegal entrant into our country out of our country. It will be chaos. It would take decades. So let's just start with the hardened criminals. Let's start with the known gang members. Let's start with well, the

people on the terrorists watch list. Let's start with maybe trying to use some of those efforts like the efforts they engaged in for the January sixth rioters. They spend tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money, if not hundreds of millions, searching for that one old lady that they saw on video that they haven't been able to find yet. Well, i'll tell you what, you got two million known god aways. You don't know who they are.

They could be members of terrorist organizations. Why don't you start trying to look for them in the same way you started looking for the old lady that was at the Capitol building on the January sixth. Just suggesting it, but you got really really pissed off residents in Chicago, same thing in New York. If you've ever looked at any of these meetings, they're not happy. And they're the

ones that elected these clowns into office. They're the ones that decided they wanted to be a sanctuary city, and now seeing the aftermath and experiencing the pain and anguish and seeing their taxpayer dollars go someplace that they shouldn't be going, seeing their schools being overwhelmed by people who do not speak English and therefore soak up the resources

for children who are supposed to be. They're learning the basics of well building blocks of an education, reading, writing, arithmetic, that kind of thing, so they can move forward and maybe be successful in life. Those resources being all soaked up by a bunch of children that don't speak English. I mean, the list is endless, the problems are endless, and the expenses are outrageous. Again, Chicago alone five hundred and seventy five million dollars since twenty two one city.

Check the numbers in New York if you want to be truly appalled, six P fifty fifty five kc DE talk station. And speaking of numbers, how about the number on your energy bill? Yes, it keeps getting bigger, keeps going up. I can help you lower it. I've been telling people for almost eighteen full years, and my dad before me. Call us insulation for a free insulation inspection. You may have some in the exterior walls of your home. They started putting it in in the mid seventies. I

use my daughter's an illustration for regular listeners. You know what's coming. They had R twelve R twelve and it was from the late nineteen seventies, and it doesn't work as well. From an insulation standpoint. Over time that pink starts deteriorating. That's the fiberglass you got, But it doesn't matter. You can put your USA's foam in there with it, and it's the highest R value foam in the market. It's going to guarantee you immediate increase in comfort, a

noticeable improvement and comfort. And every month you're using it the HVAC system, you'll save a heapload of money. Savings guaranteed from USA, so much so that it may cover the monthly payment, which is only ninety nine dollars a month interest free. That's right. They brought back that. I call that the best special because that's eminently affordable, and for what the value you get out of this product, it is the right thing to do. And you probably

reach the same conclusions. So many listeners of mine have that, gosh, darn it, I just wish I'd done this sooner. So save money every single month, get the immediate comfort the USA provides product made right here in Ohio, thousands and thousands of homes, and get an energy tax credit of twelve hundred dollars next year when you're doing your taxes three eight one three six two six. It's a free inspection and free quote five one three three eight one

Damn those lights really really anger me. They have like an internal self destruct mechanism. It's just part of the joy of the season. Oh that's joy.

he had other issues. Moses was quick to lose his temper, as when he caught the ungrateful Israelites worshiping a golden calf. Where's you're Moses?

Herod had generals, Jesus gave them a pass. He instead chose nobody who would be considered experience much less distinguished. Jesus set out to save the world with a few fishermen, alongside a tax collector, a thief, and a zealot, what today we'd call a fanatic. Jesus was not looking for men and women who could work smoothly with the Jerusalem establishment, because he wanted to establish an entirely new way of

thinking and acting. The religious member of my family, Aimesley, always gave the fish eye to the disciples, and yes that as a religious pun. Fish was the first Christian symbol. Because when the going got rough and Jesus was arrested, the disciples headed for the hills. Peter, the future rock of the church, even denied Jesus three times, the really brave ones were women, as my wife never tires of

reminding me. Yet, once the disciples grew backbones, they were willing to be martyred, and they weren't seeking riches or advancement. They weren't looking for some revolving door. They believed fervently in their cause. Contrary to what the establishment media says, Donald Trump is not looking for knee jerk disciples. At one point, his vice president JD. Vance of Middletown denied Trump pretty vividly. Another heretic, Elon Musk Trump, but didn't hesitate to reach out to him. He is not only

a visionary but also a patriot. More than anybody. His ex platform is preserving the foundation of our freedom, free speech, and now Elon and Cincinnati's own Vivek Ramaswami will help shrink government to assize that's fit for free citizens, not dictatorship. Trump's cabinet is not devoid of experience. Soon to be treachery Secretary Scott Bessant is one of the most respected

masterminds on Wall Street. By the way, Besson happens to be gay, but unlike Biden's Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha Judge Bessen was not picked because he's gay. Besson to unlike paternity leave, Pete is actually qualified to do his job or take incoming borders.

deported years ago. One point four million of these serious criminals have already had hearings and are now sitting in detention facilities, eating three squares a day, waiting to.

of damnable lies starting with Hillary's fake Russia dossier. Trump believed Matt Gates because even Biden's Justice Department refused to prosecute him. And now we'll have to see how things shake out with Pete Hegseth. But in any event, Brian Trump now has the nominee he probably should have picked in the first place.

bipartisan Washington establishment needs to come to Jesus moment. The elites don't care about ordinary American people, which is why ordinary people like us, the extraordinary people, maybe not like us, who work hard, raise families, and celebrate this holiday season for all the right reasons. Trump knows we the people need a different kind of elite. And in the season of hope, I pray this new religious cabinet consume, get down to work.

I think that's sitting around the Thanksgiving table with a Hunter Biden sentencing now, I think eleven days away, everybody is worried that Hunter is going to rat on the big guy and the whole Biden family in order to make some money selling the book and going on TV. There is still a chance after Biden leaves office, Hunter will do that because he'll always be hard up, and I think he's passed the golden period of his artwork.

But yeah, there was absolutely nothing benevolent about this. The way that Biden has treated his children driven them in large measure to drug dependency and a lot of other poor behavior. Look at the Trump kids, every single one of them. They've all turned out to be sterling citizens. Joe Biden had to give this pardon to save himself.

even if it would have been against his criminal interest. Without the pardon, So that's gone and he then becomes a rather interesting target for depositions.

does not give him the authority to rewrite history. And so he gave him a tongue lashing about that no reasonable person look at the facts and they could reach any of the consideration that Biden was singled out orly because he's the president's son. And then the judge says, hey,

but two federal judges expressly rejected Biden's agreements. Hunters arguments that the government persecuted and prosecuted him because of his famil relations with the president, and the president's own attorney general and Apartment of Justice personnel oversaw the investigation which led to the charges and the President's at estimation this legion of federal civil surgeons, the unservants, the undersigned, included

the judge, are unreasonable people. So yeah, that whole contingency in cadre of folks that worked under the Biden administrations, all the one that brought these charges against them. But this is the part you're going to get a kick out of. To your point that he may want to sell his information or for his own personal benefit or otherwise, you know, rat them all out, he said. Subject to the following this discussion, the Court assumes the pardon is

effective and we'll dispose of the case. The Supreme Court long is recognized that notwithstanding its nearly unlimited nature, here you get to the punchline. The pardon power extends only to past offenses. I think that was kind of a shot over the bowel that he expects Hunter Biden to go back and start engaging in criminal conduct after at some future date. So pardon only applies to things in the past. And real quick before you go, you mentioned hope at the end of your monologue.

books and try to cut everything. Now, I'm optimistic. I don't know that what they are going to present and hand over to Congress by way of recommendations for consolidations or cuds or whatever, I don't know if that's going to be embraced by everybody. But what this is going to do and why I'm finding my hope, is that it's going to educate the American people on both sides of the political ledger about who the people are that want to protect these ridiculous vested interests in taxpayer dollars

and political boondoggles. It's already started with regard to the Inflation Reduction Act, that nonsensical Green New Deal, and you've already got Republican governors and Republican representatives from states who get a lot of ethanol money and carbon capture money. They're saying no, no, no, no, we're we're we're gonna make a lot of tax payer money on that. We really need those programs. See it started already.

that doesn't mean that they're not immensely powerful. And depending on the quality of the recommendations that those who come up with, and I think they're going to be sterling too, there's going to be a big change in the direction of this government.

this is a good idea. Now they want to, you know, support this doge concept because they want to protect their turf in a lot of ways, and by supporting it, maybe they'll be able to control what is and isn't cut. But that's where the sausage is made, and that's what I'm looking forward to, finding out who the people are. Jackie.

to safely surrender a baby girl. Webanon Police said. This is a year and a half after it was installed. Boxes located at the fire station on North Broadway installed of October last year, the tenth safe Haven baby box in the state. Lebanon Police say Monday the City of Lebanon Communications Center received an alarm from the box about three thirty in the afternoon. Police and fires showed up,

finding a baby girl had been surrendered. Theyby immediately taken to since sint Children's Hospital and Warren County Children's Services officials were notified. These boxes are being installed in fire departments across the country, thus allowing parents the option to safely and securely as well as anonymously surrender in newborn

if they are unable to provide care for it. Under Ohio's safe Haven Law, baby Box allows parents to again anonymously surrender newborn without any criminal charges related to it. Once the baby's inside the box, it locks itself and then sends a series of alerts to first responders. And since safe Haven's launch in twenty sixteen, thirty five babies

have been surrendered nationwide. That's according to their website. So one wife saved and going back and please, please, please, if you care about finances and you want to know what politicians are capable of doing by way of destruction in terms of budgetary realities. Todd Zinzer on the program yesterday talking without the City of Cincinnati and the Pension problems that they face which are seemingly insurmountable. And one of the things that he was joking about, sort of

half joking, is just the reality. And Westside Jim Keefer told me it was council member Kearney whose idea was for the city to pay for stained glass windows. I believe it was in Avondale. And this is after Todd and I'd been talking about the six hundred and nearly seven hundred billion dollars a million dollar hole in the pensions program which has been just ignored largely for the past several decades. With that, I pivot over to the

Red Bike program. Nonprofit Red Bike. They just announced they have enough funds for you to ride a red bike all winter long up until April of next year, but then they don't they have any money after that. They're looking for what they describe as long term funding commitment so they can continue operation past April when the weather

gets warm enough to ride a bike. Council Member Mark Jefferies said he's been working with a coalition it would be partners over several months and said he's confident a deal is going to be reached with funding before April, including funding from vriety different sources going back to budgetary problems facing the city. They say money from Metro Northern Kentucky, the City of Cincinnati, and maybe some corporate sponsors or tourist partnerships. The latter two I embrace all day long.

You can get a corporate sponsor, make it work fine, that's less taxpayer dollars to go for that program. Bike Share requires subsidies for all users. Props to WCPO Danielle Goodman and Andrew Rowan for the reporting on this. Consultants analyze that the fair box only covers thirty seven percent of the overall cost of the bike per ride. The Go program requires further subsidy for lower cost so the

new plan spreads the investment across multiple stakeholders. It's a comment from a counsulman, Jefferies and said it's a very sensible plan. Bike Share Program board voted to shut red Bike down per in March because of funding issues that

arose after it's lost a major sponsor. Executive director Doug mcclinty previously told WCPO that would have taken well over a quarter of a million dollars to really make sure that we're not having to close things down, but multiple organizations across creators SINCINNY have pledged to fund the Red Bike program. They have four hundred and fifty thousand dollars totally pledged. I guess ridership down this year versus last, but its Go pass program has seen a steady increase

in popularity, at least according to Red Bike. It's a five dollar monthly membership for low income customers compared to full fare thirty dollars monthly memberships. And again that go program requires further subsidies to keep the cost down. So we'll see if they can't find the money for that program. So at thirty six, if you have Kesee talk station, we're gonna learn some things from Carmack County Veteran Services.

Steve Belzo in studio to talk about that. And I always enjoy Heaven of Studio helping up my veteran friends. And I always enjoy recommending every one of my listeners to Fast and Pro Roofing. They are wonderful folks at Fast and Pro that take wonderful care of you. Because they start out with honesty. You're never going to get lied to by the professionals at Fast and Pro.

and the celebratory nature of the holiday season. It's always a great time, at least from my perspective, and it's always a great time, and it's a wonderful thing for me to invite into the fifty five KRC Morning Show. Anybody that's looking out for veterans causes and someone who does, Steve Bozo with the Clarmont County Veterans Services. You can find him on my Comer County Veterans dot com. Steve. Good to have you here, my friend.

I don't to eat into your time, but thanks I was just telling you about Thanksgiving, about my diet, just how wonderful it was, the p con pie. But uh, zero discussion of politics, great, nothing, zero, zilch, nada. No one brought up anybody's name, No one said yay. No one said, oh my god, this sucks. It was just talking about family and how great the food was. No

more dissension, it was so wonderful. And then you know the other component of it was, you know, I was waiting for all hell to break loose to day after the election, regardless who won, the riots in the streets and again, oh my god. Anyway, Steve Beck over to the Climate K Veteran Services ROI return on investment. That's I said, I didn't get any notes today and you said return on investment? Like, no, the hell?

I've got to start out though, Brian. The seventh of December is coming up.

rest of your life at twenty years. Back in the late eighties early nineties, the government came out with what was called the Reducts Plan. Now, the Reducts Plan is what fifteen years, a career service member could receive a thirty thousand dollars bonus. The trade off fifteen years, I'm going to send a thirty thousand dollars bonus to your

bank account. I'm attacks at first, So at twenty percent, right, you're maybe receiving twenty four thousand now, right, Now for that is that when you hit twenty years and you retire, and let's say A seven for one of the branches retires at twenty years, fifty percent of his base pay. That base pay now, because you accepted that thirty thousand dollars bonus at fifteen years is reduced to forty percent. Oh wow, I'm giving up ten percent of my retirement

every year for the rest of my life. Now, consider it's about two hundred and fifty dollars a year that you're giving up. And in ten years the government would have reclaimed it's thirty thousand dollars or it's twenty four thousand dollars at lent tea. Yeah, right, what eight years is twenty four? Yeah, I'm sure they'd give ten years. Right, she retired twenty years. I've paid them back two hundred percent of the thirty thousand they gave me.

got one of those. For internal combustion engine fans and folks like me and German cars we own, we go to Foreign Exchange. My wife and I both get the amazing savings on the oil change. I personally say yes, I know it sounds insane. I saved more than two hundred dollars every single time I get my oil change. So I got that going for me, which is really

really nice. And I don't know how much money I've saved over the years with the Honda service and my wife's car and my daughter's, but it's a lot because they don't charge nearly as much. Now do you sacrifice anything, No, Actually you gained so in spite of the lower cost, the customer service is superior. They're wonderful folks. You want to talk to the mechanic, you can. I like that idea.

They're a SE certified master technique. You will drive out with more money in your pocket, with a full warranty on parts and service. So uh, ain't no downside of working with Foreign Exchange. The bottom line is your bottom line. So get into the Westchester location. That's where Austin and his amazing team mechanics will take great care of you to do that.

your retirement pay is declining every year. We are advancing this economy.

increasing them again tomorrow. Right, it's like the credit card scheme, right, I'm just gonna start adding to it. So it's like you taking your foreign car to Steve's oil change. I just started it down the corner. Come on, bring your car over to me. I'll change the oil. Brian, I've got I've got a filter and a couple of courts of oil. I don't know what weight they are. Would you take your car to me?

Obviously the government, the VA decides, I'm we are going to let veterans apply on their own behalf now, so we're gonna put it out on our website. Do you really think that's going to benefit the veteran?

It's kind of like your friend back in high school decide he's going to rebuild his own motorcycle and he ends up taking all the boxes of parts down the local motorcycle shower and go, I couldn't figure it out. We you assemble it, which would have been more economical for your friend.

Or you can walk through the pitfalls, the challenges and the concerns that they may very well fall in to avoid the whole headache. And they're happy and you are fulfilled in your.

do a little aftermath. We're going to find out about jd Vance's replacement maybe and is Hamilton County a loss cause he'll be up next.

loving family. That's that's all around me, And that's really, Brian, what ultimately matters, my friend, You and I both know and that that was great. Watch a little football. None of it any good.

for wonderful family. I mean without family, I don't know. Well, I wouldn't be I wouldn't be Alie right now without my wife and family. So, without further ado, one of the reasons that Thanksgiving was so wonderful, in addition to taking a break from a ridiculous diet and enjoying pecan pie made by my wife, nobody taught politics, and it was a glorious thing. We all just sort of just smiled and chatted and remembered and had stories to tell and what we were doing in our lives, and that

was a refreshing experience. And I feel a little lighter after the election is over, because I really and I don't know how you felt, or those in your inner circle felt, but I think most of my listeners, because I've heard from so many of them, were really concerned about the day after and that it was going to some sort of riot in the street kind of thing.

Most notably, and I want to just get your reaction on this point on that if Trump had not won the popular vote, they would have been screaming in the streets about getting rid of the electoral college. Right. Oh, here it happens again. The popular vote went for you know,

Kamala Harrison. Nonetheless, the electoral college bubble burst nothing. The silence is deafening, and it's beautiful, and it just it just it was like a tremendous weight had been lifted off my shoulders out about over the abundance of concern that I had been keeping internally.

That noise was overwhelming and really pushing back and I've heard none of that. I mean, I really think, Brian, I really my observation of this election cycle was, especially now, the nation got a major course correction, and.

populations haven't shifted. The Democrats shifted. They they left the mainstream of American politics. And you're seeing it now, you know, from some of the gray hairs in their party. James Carville. I saw something with Ron mcmanuel saying, you know, we've

we've lost our way. We've been saying that. I mean, I you know, the Democrats used to talk about kitchen table issues as well, and we would have a healthy debate, you know, Brian, about how to split up the American pie, how to how to make the best use of this this wonderful capitalist system of ours, and that stopped that that the Democrats have walked away. They don't even believe

in the system anymore. It seems to me most Democrats, you know, barely sort of support the Constitution and patriotism in the Statue of Liberty. So you know, it's that's that's where they are. And you know they've paid a price at the poll. So uh, you know, we've seen we've seen a shift here over the last month where I think even Democrats are chasened a bit and they know that, you know, they I know that they have to find themselves back to the center of American politics.

trumps fault Trump drop trum trump tr Trump. And they tried to build it up so much and make people feel so guilty for even uttering the man's name with anything positive to say about him. People shut their mouths, kept quiet and low, and behold, he got elected president, and he got elected by the majority of the people in the country. On top of it, so boom, the whole argument is gone, and leaving them with what nothing other than to recalibrate, readjust and realize that the majority

of American people are not woke. They're not in favor of DEI, they're not in favor of defunding police, not in favor of decriminalizing the system. And we've all witnessed the aftermath of those ridiculous policies that have been embraced over the past four to six years. Man, it's uh, it's it's I'm sorry. I'm just really enjoying on a sort of a Shoden Freud a kind of level right now. Except for Hamilton County. I can ask you about that one.

Is it too late? And I part of me wants to think, you know, and we can talk about some of the larger issues Jdvans for example here Alex, But you know, Hamilton County. I went to bed knowing that it was all blue. We lost the prosecutor, we didn't get the shareff we got. You know, we all knew what the outcome of the other races was going to be, you know, depending on where they were. But blue, blue, blue, blue, blue,

all across. But as you look out over the landscape, and you know, sort of like the discussion we're having right now, people are rejecting. They are reversing, They are going back on what used to work. The bluest cities in the country are screaming their bloody heads off over the resources being allocated to the illegal immigration flow. They're screaming about their neighborhoods being taken over by drug addicts and drug dealers. All the stores being closed is because

no one prosecutes a crime for stealing. Stores are closing. It's in the citizen read. The Democrats who elected the woke officials to put these pauses into place are now seeing the aftermath and demanding that they do a one eighty. Now, with that said, can that happen in Hamilton County?

believed me having gotten around the state. It's the exact same conversation is happening in Cleveland. The exact same conversation is happening in Columbus. You know they have am can tell you in Columbus for instance, they've really the Republican Party there and they've got a great, strong leader, much like we have here. They just you know, they didn't even field candidates because you know, you're picking your spots.

I mean, the future really for Hamilton County is I've got a couple of prescriptions and they're not you know, none of them aarticularly sexy. I mean, but one thing I want Hamilton County residents to not forget is you are an important voter to the messaging here in Ohio. I mean, look, Hamilton County delivered one hundred and seventy thousand, roughly votes for Donald Trump. Just to give you a comparison, Butler County, which is a very red county, delivered about

one hundred and fifteen thousand votes for Donald Trump. So we need Hamilton County fully functioning, fully voting, and the same is true for Bernie Marino and everybody else. So you know, the impact that big counties have on this statewide ticket, it's not going away. So you know, these counties matter very very much now, these county level races, I think. So the first thing is you can't lose

sight of that as a Republican in Hamilton County. The second thing is, you know, we can actually, you know, begin to field targeted races with candidates with crossover appeal. And sometimes, you know, that's a hard message to hear, especially from you know, some of my really conservative friends, and I count myself among that group, but it's hard to say it, but sometimes you have to find and

I think most of the powers had that. I think she had ran a wonderful campaign, but you know, you're just you're just in a blue city and it just makes it harder and harder. But you know, look, I mean, as I've as I've shared with the local chairman here and the ones in Cleveland and Columbus, you know, don't don't You know you have to celebrate what you were a part of, and that is winning Ohio because, believe me, Ohio does not go for Donald Trump without Cleveland, Columbus

and Cincinnati showing up in huge numbers. And make no mistake, Brian Republicans in Hamilton County turned out. They did turn out. The problem is there's just too many people in the cities continuing to hear this left wing message from the Democratic Party. And look, can we turn that around? I think we can. You're seeing us make inroads, certainly with halfcan American males for making inroads. You're seeing crime as

a key issue for our party. So yeah, there is hope ahead, but you know it's going to take a slow, steady progression and candidates who can speak to issues that Democrats care about in the big cities.

address these key issues. And that's kind of where my hope comes from, because those far left wing policies have ruined cities, and even the Democrats who voted for the people who enacted them realize that. And that's why I think there's a positive direction opportunity here. So let's pause, weib bring Alex back because we want to talk about Jade Vance's replacement and how things are looking in Columbus as we look forward into the next a period there.

So it's paused right now. It's EGE sixteen. And let me mention my favorite firearm store, twenty two three on Route forty two between Mason and Leven was there last Friday with my neighbor Beth, who bought her husband a really awesome gun and she didn't know where to go.

I said, we'll support twenty two three. I said, the prices are always very competitive, and even if the gun's not in stock, I call Wendy up because of course I called Wendy and not Jeff, Jeff's listener right now, but she said, yeah, no problem, it was there in two days ready to pick up. I took her in there. She bought a case of AMMA. I got ten percent off that when it was on sale, and it's so happy, and I know her husband is really happy about what

he's getting for Christmas. No surprises revealed here, he's already seen it. So yeah, I put my money where my mouth as I'm a customer there. I've bought quite a few firearms from him over the year's lots of AMMO. I spent time on the gorgeous range they've got there, so you're in the best possible hands. Great people run the place, knowledgeable, they have a gunsmith. It's everything you could hope for. Range Brain and Gun Store located on

in Can'ton, Ohio. And a name that's well known in Republican Party circles, you know, Warren Davidson, I know is interviewed. Who's our congress my congressman on the west side of Hamilton County.

people that have shown an interest in this. You know, lots of people have, I mean, being a United States Center or you know, it's one of the one hundred most powerful legislative jobs in the world. Really, so if the governor has to make a call here, you know,

the timing of this, I just don't know. I mean I believe and I don't have any you know, sort of inside information here necessarily, but I believe that's gonna run right up until right around January to twentieth's only because Senator advances vote, you know, in a Senate that's you know, only a couple votes of going the wrong way there. So I think his vote will be needed to confirm him any of the President Trump's nominees. So you know, I think that you're going to see that

that run, you know, into January. I don't think we're gonna have news on that front, you know, for some time. And listen, I mean, my job and the job of the Ohio Republican Party is to elect Republicans. That's the number one obligation of the organization. So we'll we'll wait, and you know, whoever the nominee of the Republican Party is in twenty twenty six, that's who will run.

TV TV appearances and speeches. This is a commitment that's a seven day a week commitment for years. And I you know again, Brian, well, well, I've got the floor on that point. I do want to just make one additional point. I wish people sometimes could see behind the curtain what I've seen for a long time, and that is the commitment that people make to actually run for office.

And I know there's a cynicism Brian, around politics and about politicians, and you know, some of that's the warranted, but you know, these people work very very hard for the right to go and represent you, and somebody like Bernie is a post to child for that. Others I mean, well, it's the powers work very very hard.

of the people. They don't need the damn money, you know what I mean.

but what we as Republicans need to do. And I've told this to everybody, and I've said it every time I've been part of winning elections and losing ones. We now got to go do the job. I mean, we enjoyed this victory really for about two or three days. But we must as Republicans go and do what we said we're gonna do under Donald Trump's leadership. We're gonna have the House in the Senate federally, we must do what we said deportations, we must steal the border. We've

got to cut taxes. We've got to you know, keep the cut the tax cuts that we're in place to keep this economy growing, cut prices, drill for energy, all the things. And I say, Donald Trump is a guy who has a checklist. This guy's tireless too. He works his tail off. We got to do these things so that the pendulum does not swing back, because ultimately, in American politics it tends to swing back. These wins can be fleeting, but we must do what we said we

are going to do. So people like me who have to go out and sell the Republican Party and talk about our accomplishments, not just you know, our aspirations.

constitutional law lesson. We're going to be We're going to be engaged in a deeper die because when I read the topic, or when I read your columns heading, you captured the column three cheers for Hunter's pardon, and I started worrying, because you know, every once in a while, my listener's perspectives on politics and life will come into a measure of disagreement with the judge, like I can't believe he said that. And I'll defend you all day long.

I'll defend your position even if I disagree with it, because we engage in a thoughtful conversation, and I wasn't expecting you to back up to where you went when I was starting to read the column, and the point being fundamentally the original point that you make regularly one that the foundation, the highest law of the land in our country is the Constitution, and it limits the size and scope of government so much so that Hunter Biden

shouldn't even have been charged into these because they don't have the authority for the various charges like, for example, the Second Amendment. You shouldn't have to fill out a form to have your exercise your Second Amendment. So go ahead, I make you please.

for them. The tax crime, he actually paid the taxes with interest and with penalty, and they still prosecuted him because of pressure the Republicans put on the Justice Department.

short barreled rifles and all these layers of laws. I am wondering whether now we have with the current you know, the Brewin decision and the others, if we have this opportunity now for someone, for example, Hunter of Biden could have defended himself and said, no, this FFL nonsense, even though I was stoned out of my mind and I

lied on the form. This FFL nonsense is unconstitutional on its face because none of it existed at the time the Second Amendment was acknowledged by the Bill of Rights, and ergo, you can't put that kind of impediment in front of me when I'm trying to exercise my Second Amendment rights.

students of the Constitution know this. The Constitution authorizes just two crimes. Debasing the money supply, you know, putting out a coin that's half gold and half pewter and claiming it's all gold and getting the full face value for it. Debasing the money supply and then that coin is out in the money supply. And treason, which is defined in the Constitution as giving aid and comfort to the country's

enemies or waging war against against the States. How many crimes has Congress created five thousand, one and ninety nine, and only two of them are authorized by the Constitution.

They wouldn't have slow walked the IRS investigation to the point where they let the Statute of limitations run, they'd have been all over us like white on rises. My dad used to say. But to your point, there are five and ninety nine federal crimes on the books now, only two of which really are legitimate under the limitations of the Constitution. The balance are in the hands of

the states. The states, as you acknowledge in point out in your historical review in the column, would be responsible for prosecuting anyone who violated the law.

to pay a tax be treason? Well, they persuaded a federal judge that using violence against the federal tax collector was the moral equivalent of treason. They were convicted and George Washington pardoned them. In the first part presidential pardons in American history now there is a downside to this,

to Joe, not to Hunter. Last week, if Hunter was dragged before the House Oversight Committee and sworn to tell the truth and said, and they asked him, did you funnel money to your father from Barisma when he was Vice President of the United States?

the Constitution chains down the federal government. Congress can't give itself the power to enact laws that the Constitution doesn't authorize it to an act.

the filing. You know how courts aren't judges are with eyes properly being dotted and teas crossed. Yes, I'm going to dismiss it when it's properly filed with me. But he had this today, had this to say, and I thought it was rather funny. Something for the following discussion. The court assumes the pardon is effective and we'll dispose

of the case. The Supreme Court long has recognized that, notwithstanding it's nearly unlimited nature, the pardon power extends only to past offenses, which to me sounded like this sort of perception that Hunter Biden was going to go back to criminal activity on a going forwards.
