Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike DeWine

Governor Mike DeWine calls in to the show to discuss the potential of the National Guard being called in to Cincinnati among other issues.

WIllie talks with Dr. James Sammarco and Jeff Crouere on this edition of the show. Then, Governor Mike DeWine joins the show to discuss the ongoing issues in Cincinnati.

In February 2022, Politico reported that billionaire retail magnate Leslie Wexner—the former CEO of L Brands and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein—donated $250,000 to the Republican Governors Association (RGA). This marked Wexner's first major political donation since 2018, when he had also contributed a similar amount to the same group. The donation drew renewed scrutiny not just because of Wexner's past ties to Epstein, who once held power of attorney over Wexner's finances, but because Wexner had publicly distanced himself from the Republican Party following the rise of Donald Trump. Despite previously renouncing his GOP affiliation, Wexner's large donation in 2022 suggested a quiet but deliberate reentry into political influence.What made the donation even more notable was its timing and lack of public announcement. Wexner's name had faded from political finance circles after years of scandal and fallout surrounding Epstein, yet the $250,000 gift signaled a resumption of political activity. The money went to the RGA, a powerful fundraising organization that supports Republican gubernatorial candidates across the country, including then-Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Critics immediately questioned why a figure once so publicly disillusioned with the Republican Party—and so closely tied to one of the most notorious sex traffickers in American history—was now bankrolling GOP campaigns again without explanation.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsourcehttps://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/07/longtime-epstein-associate-gave-250k-to-rga-00006097

Gov. Mike DeWine has formed a property tax working group. Will these efforts bring the long-term relief Ohio property owners want?

The Governor Vetoed Property Tax Relief! In Ohio, Governor DeWine line-item vetoed items that would have provided citizens with property tax reform and relief. There are better ways to fund things items like schools than by taxing private property. Raising property taxes based on assumed increases in property values is like taxing unrealized gains. We discuss property taxes, UBI and AI, exit taxes, zoning regulations, and pensions. If you're from Ohio and prefer to see property taxes eliminated entirety, go to http://www.ReformPropertyTax.com and check out the petition information to get this amendment on the ballot for 2026!

Members of the Ohio House are returning to the Statehouse next week to override some of Gov. Mike DeWine's vetoes in the new two-year state budget. Ohio Statehouse Scoop Host Jo Ingles talks with Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson about which of the 67 vetoes lawmakers plan to override. Also, Jo tells what happened when backers of a comprehensive, proposed Equal Rights Amendment went before the Ohio Ballot Board. Plus Jo has the latest in the fight over funding for the new Browns stadium in this week's Ohio Statehouse Scoop.

We open with a discussion on Cleveland's professional basketball situation and we end up going hard on it for a stretch so be ready. Ohio devises a new tax to pay for the new Browns Stadium only they don't call it a tax so that must mean it's not a tax, right? The Governor also used his line-item veto to remove an item that lawmakers, who claimed to have written the law but then ran to the governor to say, nah veto that. Trash!

Republican lawmakers will be back at work later this month, interrupting their summer recess, to consider overrides on three of Gov. Mike DeWine's budget line-item vetoes, all focused on property taxes. The governor used his red pen 67 times to strike out items in the massive $60 billion-dollar two-year operating budget. He signed off on the budget at the end of June. We will begin Friday's “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” with a discussion on why lawmakers are taking the unusual step of returning during summer break to address these specific vetoes. Plus, the anticipated summer blockbuster "Superman" has swooped into theaters with some predictions looking at a $200 million global box office haul by the end of the weekend. Directed by James Gunn, the reboot brings Superman back to his hometown. Two Glenville teens, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, created the "man of steel." Superman debuted in Action Comics in 1938.

We discuss Gov. Mike DeWine's budget vetoes, a lawsuit over Browns stadium money, what President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" means for Ohio and how LGBTQ advocates are trying to change the state constitution.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has signed the $60 billion, two-year operating budget into law. But as Ohio Statehouse Scoop Host Jo Ingles reports, the governor set a modern-day record in the number of vetoes he issued. Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson join Jo to talk about the vetoes and the possibility of overrides.

Governor DeWine signed Ohio’s $60 billion state budget, and the impact on families, schools, and values is massive. In this week's episode of The Narrative, CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews break down what was included in the budget, what was vetoed, and how it all affects the fight for faith, freedom, and parental rights in Ohio. We celebrate major victories, including: ✅ No iGaming expansion—protecting families from the dangers of online gambling addiction and the insertion of VLTs in public spaces. ✅ The Innocence Act—protecting children from online porn and "deepfakes." ✅ Cell phone-free schools—supporting focus and healthy learning environments for Ohio's children. ✅ Medicaid accountability—ensuring taxpayer dollars won’t fund radical DEI agendas or harmful gender surgeries on minors. And we push back against the governor's vetoes on:

Gov. DeWine signed the biennial budget into law and made 67 line-item vetoes. He nixed a plan to allow counties to reduce property taxes if school districts had a lot of money in their savings accounts. But the richest Ohioans get a 20% income tax cut.

Vivek Ramaswamy joins Bob to talk about his record-setting fundraising haul in his run for governor of Ohio. They discuss his platform including property taxes. They talk about his opponent Amy Acton and his thoughts on Governor DeWine's latest vetoes. Vivek talks about his thoughts on the future of our great state.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed off on the state's new two-year operating budget at the deadline late Monday night into Tuesday. The $60 billion dollar spending plan includes money for a new Browns stadium in Brook Park. The state will chip in $600 million taken from unclaimed funds held by the Ohio Department of Commerce. The budget also flattens Ohio's income tax down to a single bracket meaning everyone, minus those who are exempted, will pay the same 2.75% tax rate. DeWine, however, did strike 67 elements from the budget using his line-item veto. It's by far the most he's used the line-item veto. For comparison, on the last operating budget, DeWine used the veto pen 44 times. Statehouse leaders have questioned why the governor removed elements of the budget viewed as property tax relief. Later, we bring you an excerpt from the 11th and final episode of the "Living for We: Keep Ya Head Up" podcast.

Governor Mike DeWine has signed the state budget, and vetoed 67 items in that budget. What happens now? State Senator Steve Huffman joins Willie to explain what the Assembly can do to override the veto, and how long they have to do it.

Bob kicks off the show talking about the soon to be vote on the Big Beautiful Bill. Bob then talks with John Stover from Ohio Value Voters about the latest DeWine vetoes on the state budget bill. Bob then welcomes author Jim Simpson to the show. They talk about the possibility of a communist as mayor in NY and where the ideology of the left is headed. Bob then talks with State Senator Jerry Cirino about the state budget and how they can save it from the governor. Bob then talks with Peter Kirsanow about all the weeks top headlines.

Sexual liberation promised freedom, but it delivered heartbreak. In this week's episode of The Narrative, we're joined by Nathanael Blake, author of Victims of the Revolution: How Sexual Liberation Hurts Us All, to candidly talk about the consequences of a culture that has abandoned God's intended design for sex, marriage, and family. CCV President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan sit down with Nathanael to walk through the damage left in the wake of the sexual revolution—how women, children, and even men have suffered under the lie that we can separate sex from commitment, family, and faithfulness. Before their conversation with Nathanael, Aaron and David break down the latest Franklin County court ruling, which claims EDChoice in Ohio is unconstitutional. They also share an update on the state budget and what's ahead for Ohio, pending Governor DeWine's signature.
