Happy Solstice Everybody! Republican Laws Are a Win-Win For Everyone; Except Women The "arm our teachers" movement just got worse. Supposedly moderate Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is signing House Bill 99 into law today that changes training time for teachers to possess firearms at school from 700 hours to a mere 24 hours, and all this after a team of highly trained and armed officers hid in a hallway fearing an AR15 shooter in a Texas school. When will this illogical madness stop? Other...

How did you learn to drive? Any good stories? Musical guest: Tony...

The only replacement was when caucasians slaughtered indigenous Native-Americans. Why are some people so afraid of not being a majority in America? Could it be the admission that if you're a minority in America means you're not treated well, fairly, or equitably? Imagine a country where being in the majority didn't matter. Imagine America, as it's intended to be. Until the rest of us stop supporting leaders who reach for the worst instincts of human nature to garner votes and ratings, the...

In This Culture War No One Can Be On the Sidelines The Bill of Rights is there to protect the individual. Justice Alito is throwing the right to choose back to the states where there is so much gerrymandering. The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court. Then we'll have a throwback memory from the podcast's trip to Cuba. David will play a cut. Then a phone call from...

There Is A Part Of America That Wants America To Be All White A Cincinnati mostly white high school cancels diversity day. The football coach who prays on the field should leave praying to the quarterbacks. Jerry', now that you're retired from TV, would you consider writing a book? You're so deeply knowledgeable about history and you've lived in the worlds of media and politics nealy your whole life. Why not write a book on politics and media? Obviously, that could then merge into a college...

It Took More Than A Century For Congress to Outlaw Lynching. Our government still seems unresponsive to the will of the majority. This is a perfect example of institutional racism. What is going on in Florida? It's gotten so insane DeSantos is fighting with Walt Disney World. He's going to save children from Math, which is racist. He also created a law you can't say the word gay... Jerry explains DeSantos is running for president and has to out-Trump Trump to get the vote for Republican...

Republicans Use Christianity As A Weapon Then we'll get Jerry's take, as a former mayor of Cincinnati, on Pete Castellini's mocking of Red's fans by saying, "Where're they going to go?" Are professional sports teams integral to a major city? The Bengals sucked forever and then they took us on a magical ride. What was the value to the city? Is this merely corporate exploitation or good governing partnership? Musical guest: Lance Rogers https://www.instagram.com/lanceericrogers/ Tyler Childers...

Putin Will Be Removed From Office Dead Or Alive. The Russian population will eventually turn on him when the Ukraine war is over. Putin's censoring all news, so most Russians don't yet know that his assault is killing thousands and displacing millions. If a news member calls it a war they will get a fifteen year prison sentence. Is there a connection about Florida's recent bill prohibiting schools and workplace training programs from discussing racism, white supremacy, or...

The Podcast Celebrates Its Seventh Anniversary! Ukraine gave up 1800 nuclear missiles in the Budapest Memoranda where Russia, U.S. & Great Britain promised to keep Ukraine safe. Diplomacy took a hit when Trump tore up the Nuclear arms deal with Iran. He also withdrew from the Intermediate Forces Treaty with Russia. He pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement. All while blasting NATO and the U.N. in the process making our word meaningless on the world stage. Where does all this end if...

He's determined to rectify what he sees as the humiliation Russia was forced to suffer at the hands of the West when the Soviet Union lost the Cold War. A czar who returned Russia to greatness. If the free world doesn't...

Putin Will Pay A Price For His Terror We're fooling ourselves if we think anything short of military force will stop Putin from destroying Ukraine, slaughtering it's citizens, and virtually leveling the country.

Jerry Gave Bob Dylan A Key To Cincinnati. Megan Meets Joe Burrow.

Don't Let Anyone Stop You From Voting. As it happened in Georgia in 2020, if everyone votes, the anti-democracy votes and the party that supports them cannot win. This is the one task that can make the Democratic party relevant again. It is the only thing that can make Democracy survive.

Jene did something Jerry does regularly: He drove to Florida, arrived at 1:00 in the...
