For years, the Ohio legislature has pushed to have the state pay a smaller and smaller share of the cost of running Ohio's public schools, placing a bigger and bigger burden on local property taxpayers to make up the difference. Now, Ohio lawmakers are pushing a whole raft of property tax reform bills, many with potentially disastrous consequences for public school students across the state. So, what can the state actually do to provide meaningful property tax relief without doing so on the backs of the public schools that serve 90 percent of students in our state? To understand where we should go from here, we have to understand how we got to this pressure point. In Part 1 of this special two-part conversation, we take a deeper dive into how Ohio's property taxes work and what's driving a spike in property tax bills in recent years.LISTEN TO PART 2 |Click here to hear the second half of the conversation with Dr. Howard Fleeter, where we look at what the state could do to enact potential property tax policy changes without devastating Ohio's public schools.TAKE ACTION | House Bill 186 is one of several property tax bills making its way through the General Assembly right now.

After years of refusing to have the state pay its fair share of the cost of running Ohio's public schools and forcing local property tax payers to carry a bigger load to make up the difference, Ohio lawmakers are pushing a number of property tax changes that could slash revenues for school districts with devastating impacts on Ohio's public school students. So, what can the state actually do to provide meaningful property tax relief without doing so on the backs of our public schools? In Part 2 of this special two-part conversation, we take a look at the potential property tax reforms Ohio lawmakers could enact if they were really interested in something beyond short-sighted Band aid fixes.LISTEN TO PART 1 | Click here to hear the first half of the conversation with Dr. Howard Fleeter, where we dive into the history and impact of Ohio's property tax laws and the state policy changes that have fueled the rise in local property tax bills in recent years.

If you're exhausted by the circus and just want straight talk, meet Joe D'Orsie—Pennsylvania State Rep for the 47th (Eastern York County). Joe's the guy who goes home to his family after session, hosts real “Java with Joe” town halls, and votes with facts over feelings. We get into what actually hits home: term limits, keeping girls' sports for girls, free speech on campus, and school choice that helps families—not systems.We walk through how politics should work—listen first, push good policy, skip the “keep my seat” game. Joe breaks down his Dads Defending Daughters Act (HB 1849), why anonymous campus “bias reports” need to go, and how he helped deliver a bipartisan win (HB 355) that toughened penalties for adults who prey on minors. We also hit AI and data centers at the local level, what it means to serve a district instead of a party, and why making law from raw emotion almost always backfires.If you want America-first results without the drama, this one's for you.Check out Joe's podcast Straight to the Point on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/straight-to-the-point-with-joe-dorsie/id1710599325Order our LOW ACID COFFEE “THE BROADCAST BREW” — thank you to Cool Beans Coffee Brewery for your partnership!https://www.coolbeanscoffeemi.com/product-page/broadcast-brew-low-acid-blendSubscribe for full conversations and weekly clips.Share this with someone who needs it today.Comment your biggest takeaway.About The Dillon England ShowOur mission is authentic conversation with interesting people across personal growth, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle improvement while keeping it entertaining and informative.Connect with DillonTwitter: https://twitter.com/imdillonenglandLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dillonmengland/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dillon.england.5Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dillon-england-show--6370921/support.

Racing Through Tears & Brake Fluid | The End of Pitt RaceIn this Bristol episode 406; Chris gets asked not to bring the hot tub, Chrissy thinks a chihuahua is exhausting, Tim is 40% cold & 80% party, Mental drills holes in a tree stump to burn it with oil, & even Jeff goes to a drag queen sex toy bingo.  Really, we talk all about our memories of Pitt Race. It's the end of an era—and, as usual, the beginning of a lot of questionable mechanical decisions. In Everyone Racers Episode 406, the crew gathers to laugh, cry, & possibly curse their way through their various schools & race weekends at Pitt Race, the legendary western Pennsylvania track that's closing its doors for good next year.This episode dives deep into what made Pitt Race more than just another circuit—it was a proving ground for amateur racers, a playground for endurance masochists, & a second home for people who think “budget” & “racing” belong in the same sentence. From all-night wrenching to mid-race miracles, we celebrate the chaos, community, & questionable car choices that defined this place.

In recent months, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a ban on “Sharia law and Sharia compounds” in the state, citing longstanding principles that U.S. and Texas law take precedence over conflicting foreign law. This position is reflected in the 2017 American Laws for American Courts statute and in an Attorney General opinion affirming that contracts violating Texas public policy cannot be enforced.These commitments were tested in a North Texas family law case, where an Islamic prenuptial agreement called for disputes to be resolved under religious law. The Texas Supreme Court ultimately stayed the arbitration order and ordered review of the original arbitration agreement for "validity and enforceability."Other recent developments - including video accounts of a Houston imam calling for boycotts of certain businesses and reports of a proposed Muslim-exclusive residential community (“EPIC”) - have prompted legislative responses such as HB 4211, which requires property transfer disclosures and ensures disputes are adjudicated under Texas and U.S. law.How should courts weigh religious arbitration against constitutional and statutory protections? What legal tools exist to address disputes that implicate cultural or religious norms? How can Americans both respect religious diversity and uphold constitutional imperatives?Featuring:Qanta A.

In this urgent and emotional episode of MiCannaCast, hosts CannaDave and Groovee break down HB 4951, the proposed 24% wholesale cannabis tax that threatens to dismantle Michigan's cannabis industry from the inside out.

Freedom of mobility isn't just a catchy phrase—it's the foundation of a vision for Texas where citizens aren't bound to a single transportation option. State Representative John Bucy shares his ambitious plans for expanding transportation choices across the Lone Star State, from high-speed rail connecting major cities to defending Austin's Project Connect light rail system.As one of the legislature's most vocal transit advocates, Bucy has sponsored critical legislation like HB 483 (authorizing public-private partnerships for high-speed rail along I-35), HJR-58 (a constitutional amendment allowing highway funds for other transportation modes), and HB 542 (permitting state highway funds for transit-oriented projects). His advocacy comes from personal experience—splitting time between Austin and Dallas as a child, he imagined faster, more efficient ways to make that journey.The conversation reveals how transit debates in Texas often transcend the merits of the transportation systems themselves. "It's been less about the train and more about anti-Austin," Bucy explains, highlighting how urban-rural tensions and partisan politics frequently overshadow practical discussions about mobility. Despite these challenges, he's found surprising allies, with four Republicans joining Democrats to advance high-speed rail legislation out of committee—the first pro-transportation bill to gain traction in the Texas legislature in two decades.Particularly fascinating is Bucy's reframing of transit as a freedom issue, cleverly positioning public transportation in terms that might resonate with conservative Texans who typically value individual choice. "I drive a Jeep," he notes. "This isn't to get rid of trucks and Jeeps...it's to increase freedom of mobility for all Texans."The most compelling argument might be historical: "In the 80s, Texas was known as the leader in infrastructure," Bucy reflects. "Our roads were the best system across the country, and we have fallen off." For a state that prides itself on exceptionalism, the idea of reclaiming leadership in transportation innovation could be the key to building broader support for transit.Want to help make this vision a reality? Contact your representatives, especially if they're Republicans, and explain how transit benefits everyone—even those who never plan to use it—by providing more choices and reducing highway congestion.Send us a textSupport the show

The effort to unseal the 2006 Florida state grand jury records tied to Jeffrey Epstein's first arrest moved slowly but eventually inched closer to the finish line after years of stalled petitions. A turning point came in 2023 when an appellate court in CA Florida Holdings LLC v. Aronberg ruled that lower courts did have discretion to release grand jury materials under certain conditions — a break from earlier rulings that had kept the records fully sealed. This legal shift paved the way for renewed pressure to disclose the documents, particularly as public outrage over Epstein's past leniency grew.Momentum accelerated in early 2024 when Florida lawmakers passed HB 117, a bill signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, that explicitly allowed disclosure of grand jury records in cases involving sexual activity with minors if the subject was deceased. With this statute in place, Palm Beach Circuit Judge Luis Delgado ordered the release of roughly 150 pages of transcripts in July 2024. The disclosure — while still redacted in places — marked the closest the process had come to full transparency, reflecting a slow but steady march toward exposing how the 2006 case against Epstein was handled.to contat me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The release of the 2006 Florida grand jury records tied to Jeffrey Epstein's first arrest had a very specific date: July 1, 2024. That date was not chosen at random — it was the exact day that Florida's new law, HB 117, went into effect. This law created the first-ever pathway to unseal grand jury materials in cases involving sexual offenses with minors if the subject of the investigation was deceased. Palm Beach Circuit Judge Luis Delgado signed the release order the same morning the law became active, marking a coordinated legal and legislative milestone after years of stonewalling. By that afternoon, Palm Beach County Clerk Joe Abruzzo confirmed that the documents were officially public.The release of the 2006 Florida grand jury records tied to Jeffrey Epstein's first arrest had a very specific date: July 1, 2024.

For years, the transcripts and evidence from the 2006 Palm Beach County grand jury — convened to investigate Epstein's alleged sexual exploitation of minors — remained sealed under Florida's strict grand jury secrecy rules. Media organizations (notably the Palm Beach Post) and public interest groups repeatedly sought access, arguing that the public needed transparency about why only a single solicitation-of-prostitution charge was returned despite far more serious allegations. These petitions were denied by lower courts, which held that under existing law, judges lacked authority to override the secrecy protections. That changed when Florida's Legislature in 2024 passed HB 117, a law tailored to allow disclosure of grand jury materials in cases involving sexual activity with minors and deceased defendants. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it into law, making it possible (beginning July 1, 2024) for a judge to order release of those previously sealed transcripts.In July 2024, Palm Beach Circuit Judge Luis Delgado ordered the release of about 150 pages of those transcripts. The unsealed records showed that prosecutors had presented testimony from two alleged underage victims, police officers, and others — but rather than focusing squarely on Epstein's alleged abuse, the questioning at times shifted toward whether the victims themselves could face criminal liability. The transcripts also confirmed prosecutors had been aware of rape and trafficking allegations well before Epstein's 2008 plea deal, fueling arguments that the case was deliberately undercharged to shield him. Even after this release, large portions of the records remained redacted, leaving critics to argue that the state had still not provided full accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Send us a textConflict doesn't have to divide us; it can be the wrestle that leads to deeper understanding and stronger communities. In this episode of The Purple Zone, Alexis reflects on her experiences moderating at voucher town halls across Idaho, where dignity has proven essential for meaningful dialogue. (This isn't a convo about vouchers, it's the takeaway from interacting with communities all over Idaho).Drawing from the Dignity Index, personal stories, and even her daughter's raw reflections after the recent tragedy in Michigan, Alexis explores why conflict is not the problem...contempt is. She shares how offering dignity, even in disagreement, opens the door for learning and connection, whether in public policy debates like HB 93 or in everyday conversations, in person or on social media.The Purple Zone isn't about compromise. It's about coming to the table with honesty, good intentions, and the courage to work through conflict together.Find Alexis on Instagram and JOIN in the conversation: https://www.instagram.com/the_idaho_lady/ JOIN the convo on Substack & STAY up-to-date with emails and posts https://substack.com/@theidaholady?r=5katbx&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page Send Alexis an email with guest requests, ideas, or potential collaboration.email@thealexismorgan.comFind great resources, info on school communities, and other current projects regarding public policy:https://www.thealexismorgan.com

This month we are delighted to be joined by Markus Kröger, professor of Global Development Studies at University of Helsinki. Markus has joined the show before as a founder of the EXALT Initiative and as a PI in the Trees for Development project. This time Markus is here to talk to us about his new book from University of Cambridge Press, Clearcut: Political Economies of Deforestation. This open access book will be published open access in October 2025. Markus gives us a sneak peek into the key topics of the book, primarily the mechanisms of regionally dominant political economies (RDPE) and the role they play in driving extractive sectors. To make this novel theorization, Markus looked at cattle capitalism in Brazil, narco-gold in the Amazon, and paper pulping in Finland. Markus shows how these three different RDPEs drive deforestation in their respective locations.  Interested in reading Clearcut? https://www.cambridge.org/fi/universitypress/subjects/earth-and-environmental-science/environmental-policy-economics-and-law/clearcut-political-economies-deforestation?format=HB&isbn=9781009389549  Interested in learning more about Markus' work? https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/markus-kr%C3%B6ger  Interest in the Trees For Development Project? https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/trees-for-development

Nylig ble 600 bøker fjernet fra skolebibliotekene i Florida, blant dem flere klassikere, herunder den tegnede utgaven av Anne Franks dagbok. Fordi de angivelig inneholdt "sexual conduct". Hvem bestemmer egentlig hvilke bøker som skal være på skolebeblioteker, og på pensum? Sterke syn på hvilke bøker som er passende for skoleelever er ikke noe nytt, særlig ikke i USA, og forsøk på bokfjerning kommer både fra høyre og venstre. Anine ser på en Floridalov fra 2023, HB 1069, som gjør at hvem som helst kan kreve bøker med "seksuell oppførsel" fjernet - og et søksmål anlagt av Penguin Random House, the Authors Guild, forfattere og foreldre om forholdet mellom denne loven og ytringsfriheten.

The signing of HB 117 by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis marks a significant development in the quest for transparency and justice concerning Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities. The legislation, effective from July 1, 2024, permits the release of grand jury documents under specific conditions: if the subject of the inquiry is deceased, the investigation involved sexual activity with minors, the testimony was previously disclosed by court order, and the state attorney is notified​ ​In 2006, the Palm Beach Police Department investigated Jeffrey Epstein for his abuse of underage girls. Despite evidence and a strong case for multiple felony charges, the State Attorney's office chose to present the case to a grand jury rather than pursuing direct charges. This decision resulted in sealed grand jury testimonies, protecting the details of Epstein's actions and those involved from public scrutiny​ Governor DeSantis emphasized the necessity of public knowledge regarding Epstein's case, stating that wealth and status should not shield individuals from justice. The release of these documents aims to expose those who participated in or enabled Epstein's criminal activities, addressing the long-standing demands for transparency and accountability​Victims of Epstein's abuse, such as Haley Robson, have voiced their support for the legislation, hoping it will bring closure and justice. Robson, who spoke at the signing ceremony, highlighted the pervasive impact of Epstein's crimes and the lenient punishment he received. The release of these documents is seen as a step towards understanding the full scope of Epstein's network and the systemic failures that allowed his activities to persist​.Legislative DetailsKey Provisions of HB 117:Applicability: The legislation applies to cases where the subject of the grand jury inquiry is deceased, the investigation involved sexual activities with minors, and where prior court orders disclosed some of the testimony​ (FLGov)​.Public Disclosure: The law allows for the public release of grand jury documents, ensuring that the details and individuals involved in Epstein's case are brought to light.Implementation: Upon the law taking effect, petitions for the release of the documents can be filed. Governor DeSantis assured that the process would be expedited to avoid unnecessary delays​ (Court TV)​.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Florida judge calls Epstein the "most infamous pedophile in American history" following transcripts release - CBS Miami (cbsnews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Organizations today face escalating cyber risks spanning state-sponsored attacks, supply chain compromises, and malicious apps. ShinyHunters' breaches of Salesforce platforms (impacting Google and Farmers Insurance) show how social engineering—like voice phishing—can exploit trusted vendors. Meanwhile, Russian actors (FSB-linked “Static Tundra”) continue to leverage old flaws, such as a seven-year-old Cisco Smart Install bug, to infiltrate U.S. infrastructure. Malicious apps on Google Play (e.g., Joker, Anatsa) reached millions of downloads before removal, proving attackers' success in disguising malware. New technologies bring fresh vectors: Perplexity's Comet browser allowed prompt injection–driven account hijacking, while malicious RDP scanning campaigns exploit timing to maximize credential theft.Responses vary between safeguarding and asserting control. The FTC warns U.S. firms against weakening encryption or enabling censorship under foreign pressure, citing legal liability. By contrast, Russia mandates state-backed apps like MAX Messenger and RuStore, raising surveillance concerns. Microsoft, facing leaks from its bug-sharing program, restricted exploit code access to higher-risk countries. Open-source projects like LibreOffice gain traction as sovereignty tools—privacy-first, telemetry-free, and free of vendor lock-in.AI-powered wearables such as Halo X smart glasses blur lines between utility and surveillance. Their ability to “always listen” and transcribe conversations augments human memory but erodes expectations of privacy. The founders' history with facial recognition raises additional misuse concerns. As AI integrates directly into conversation and daily life, the risks of pervasive recording, ownership disputes, and surveillance intensify.Platforms like Bluesky are strained by conflicting global regulations. Mississippi's HB 1126 requires universal age verification, fines for violations, and parental consent for minors. Lacking resources for such infrastructure, Bluesky withdrew service from the state. This illustrates the tension between regulatory compliance, resource limits, and preserving open user access.AI adoption is now a competitive imperative. Coinbase pushes aggressive integration, requiring engineers to embrace tools like GitHub Copilot or face dismissal. With one-third of its code already AI-generated, Coinbase aims for 50% by quarter's end, supported by “AI Speed Runs” for knowledge-sharing. Yet, rapid adoption risks employee dissatisfaction and AI-generated security flaws, underscoring the need for strict controls alongside innovation.Breaches at Farmers Insurance (1.1M customers exposed) and Google via Salesforce illustrate the scale of third-party risk. Attackers exploit trusted platforms and human error, compromising data across multiple organizations at once. This shows security depends not only on internal defenses but on continuous vendor vetting and monitoring.Governments often demand access that undermines encryption, privacy, and transparency. The FTC warns that backdoors or secret concessions—such as the UK's (later retracted) request for Apple to weaken iCloud—violate user trust and U.S. law. Meanwhile, Russia's mandatory domestic apps exemplify sovereignty used for surveillance. Companies face a global tug-of-war between privacy, compliance, and open internet principles.Exploited legacy flaws prove that vulnerabilities never expire. Cisco's years-old Smart Install bug, still unpatched in many systems, allows surveillance of critical U.S. sectors. Persistent RDP scanning further highlights attackers' patience and scale. The lesson is clear: proactive patching, continuous updates, and rigorous audits are essential. Cybersecurity demands ongoing vigilance against both emerging and legacy threats.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/07/2025) 3:05pm- In a post to social media, “comedian” Rosie O'Donnell wrote that ABC is allegedly reviewing progressive bias on The View. O'Donnell warned that the show would soon be canceled to appease “the orange messiah,” Donald Trump. Is it possible the show is in jeopardy of being discontinued because the quality is low? For example, South Park has been aggressively targeting the Trump Administration in its latest episodes—but Paramount recently awarded the show's creators with an estimated $1.5 billion. 3:30pm- Russell Vought—Director of the Office of Management & Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss “200 Days of Winning” with the Trump Administration. What are the Trump Administration's most underappreciated accomplishments so far? Director Vought explains: securing the U.S. Southern border & preventing entrenched bureaucrats from slowing President Donald Trump's agenda. 4:00pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss 40% of Brown University students claiming they are gay and a CBS host who is worried about moon colonization…because of the awful history of colonialism. Plus, his book is now officially hitting the bestseller list! You can find it here: https://a.co/d/89w7Scz. 4:30pm- National Purple Heart Day: From the White House, President Donald Trump delivered remarks during a ceremony honoring Purple Heart recipients. 4:45pm- While appearing on Fox News, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller estimated that because the 2020 census included undocumented migrants living in the U.S. unlawfully, Democrats have an additional 20 to 30 seats in the House of Representatives. 5:00pm- At least fifty-one Texas House Democrats fled the state as part of an effort to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting while also prolonging a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people. In response, Governor Greg Abbott has argued that fleeing the state to prevent the legislative process simply because you don't like the expected outcome of an upcoming vote amounts to an “abandonment or forfeiture of an elected state office.” 5:10pm- While appearing on CNN, political strategist Brad Todd explained that errors with the 2020 census “disproportionately” hurt Republican dominated states. 5:15pm- Democratic Strategist James Carville is now encouraging his party to make Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. states and add four seats to the Supreme Court if they take control of the House, Senate, and White House in 2028. 5:30pm- Chris Cuomo was tricked by perhaps the most obvious deep fake video of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez in recent memory—and didn't realize it for nearly 3 hours! Are we actually on Team AOC here? 5:40pm- Dr. Victoria Coates— Former Deputy National Security Advisor & the Vice President of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Donald Trump potentially meeting with Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. Dr. Coates is the author of the book: “The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel—and America—Can Win.” 6:05pm- State Rep. Briscoe Cain—Texas House of Representative from the 128th District & Chairman of the Texas Freedom Caucus—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Texas House Democrats fleeing the state to avoid voting on redistricting. Rep. Cain has filed HB 257 to vacate the seat of any legislator who skips seven straight legislative days without an excused absence. He explains: “If you abandon your job, you don't deserve the title.” 6:20pm- During a recent interview, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was asked about UFOs. Has she seen anything proving the existence of aliens??? 6:40pm- REPLAY: Russ ...

Two new laws that passed in the Oregon Legislature are pushing the state toward what other countries have done to address housing: state-level zoning laws. As Sightline Institute reports, HB 2258 and HB 2138 seem to give the state much more authority and the power to override local zoning codes. Oregon has been making changes to zoning laws since 2017, and this new approach follows countries such as Japan and Australia. Micheal Andersen is the director of Cities and Towns at Sightline Institute. He joins us to share more on what these new laws could mean for the future of home development in the state.

OA1175 - How much of a restriction on your First Amendment rights is it to have to upload an ID to access an adult website? That is the question at the heart of Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, the Supreme Court's recent review of age verification laws such as Texas's HB 1181. Matt explains how this newly precedential application of intermediate scrutiny to these kinds of restrictions on adult content could have real implications for the future of other kinds of unpopular speech. Then for more context we welcome Zeve Sanderson, the Executive Director of the NYU Center for Social Media & Politics. Zeve and a team of other researchers have recently published the leading findings on the actual effects of age verification on browsing habits, which he takes us through while also explaining some possibly less-restrictive alternatives to current verification methods.
