Cincinnati's leadership is failing to rise to the challenge of addressing the city's growing crime rates. It's time for a change! Join us as we engage with Christopher Smitherman to dissect the pressing issues plaguing Cincinnati, from ineffective political strategies to the dire need for proactive policing. With crime impacting both community development and local businesses, the endorsement of police and fire departments could signify a much-needed shift in leadership.

Our discussion navigates through the murky waters of local governance and infrastructure. Transparency—or the lack thereof—becomes a focal point as we question the allocation of railroad funds meant for infrastructure improvements. The conversation takes a critical look at the administration's preoccupation with international issues, which detracts from essential services like pothole repairs and effective garbage collection. We need change! Remember in November!

We welcome back another engaging conversation with the remarkable Jack Atherton, where we unravel the threads of history and politics with an insightful twist. Jack skillfully connects the past with the present, drawing fascinating parallels between the centralized power of France under Louis XV and XIV and today's political landscape in the United States. Through powerful quotations and historical anecdotes, he crafts a compelling narrative that questions whether today's political elites have become as disconnected as the French nobility once was. With cautionary tales from the French Revolution, Jack warns of the potential consequences of centralized governance and big government socialism.

We explore the contrasting outcomes of the French and American Revolutions, delving into how centralized power led to the downfall of the French aristocracy, while the American Revolution fostered a democracy that championed local governance and individual rights. Jack argues that today's Democrats are treading a path similar to that of the French aristocrats, risking a metaphorical deluge of failure. This thought-provoking discussion challenges listeners to reflect on the implications of centralized power and whether history might repeat itself in unforeseen ways. Tune in for a captivating episode that blends history with contemporary analysis, urging us to heed the lessons of the past.

Join the brilliant Jack Atherton as he tells us about the New York World's Fair of 1964, a place where dreams of progress were tangible and optimism was the zeitgeist. From the first electronic calculator by Texas Instruments to the futuristic visions of life in 2064 by General Motors, Jack walks us through a time when private industry wasn't just about new gadgets—it was a beacon of hope for a better future. Together, we explore how these moments of innovation have shaped our worldviews and continue to inspire us today.

Then we venture even further back to the Great Exhibition of 1851, masterminded by Prince Albert, a man who turned industrial advancement into a vision of societal improvement. In a time of political upheavals and economic shifts, even Karl Marx himself bore witness to the burgeoning middle class that would eventually challenge his own theories. With anecdotes that bring history to life, Jack eloquently connects these pivotal events to the broader narrative of capitalism and growth with a warning to the leaders of Cincinnati... do you want to bring socialist policies to the city and stunt the growth of our fair city.
