  Congressman Mike Carey of Ohio's 15th District on the Campaign Trail Talking to the Voters

  Aug 28, 202627 min

  Congressman Mike Carey of Ohio's 15th District on the Campaign Trail Talking to the Voters On this week's News in Focus, we talk with Ohio Congressman Mike Carey of Ohio's 15th District. We discuss affordability, tackling inflation, and working on home buying for a younger generation, the progress that has been made with the Reconciliation Bill and the Big Beautiful Bill tax cuts, and the new housing bill. President Trump and the Republicans are moving the country forward. It is taking time to get out from underneath the Biden inflation years, moving the country and the economy forward. There is still much to do, but if Republicans lose in November, and the Democrat Socialists take control, it will result in more spending, sending the economy over the cliff. This is no time for conservatives to sit it out. Get in the game and vote this November, keeping the country and the President's agenda moving forward.

  Affordability and the Federal Debt – What it Means to You

  Aug 21, 202626 min

  The excessive government spending from 2020 – 2024 through the Biden era and the COVID response has caused the U.S. dollar to lose 20% of its value from 2020 – 2025. The COVID era government payments to businesses and individuals, over 4 trillion dollars in government spending, caused the federal deficit to skyrocket, at the same time devaluing the dollar in your pocket in a dramatic fashion. Everything was costing more while your dollar was valued less. Do the math. $5,000 in 2020 would take $6,450.98 today, reflecting a cumulative price increase of 29.02 percent and an average annual inflation rate of 4.34 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. When younger Americans are complaining that they can’t buy an affordable car or save for a downpayment for a home, they are stating reality. These are working young adults in their 20’s and 30’s, and for them the American Dream is slipping away. One young conservative pointed out to me who had a lapel pin with the active debt clock on it that read 39 trillion dollars, that it was 34 trillion when President Trump took his oath of office on January 20, 2025. He said, “This is a bipartisan problem.” He is right. These are complex problems and we didn’t get here overnight. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent addressed the 40 trillion dollar federal debt and discussed the Administration's plans to reduce the federal deficit with tarriffs, economic growth, and going after waste, fraud, and abuse.

  Candidate Spotlight with Gubernatorial Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy

  Aug 13, 202628 min

  Candidate Spotlight with Gubernatorial Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy Gubernatorial Republican Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s Statement on Data Centers Today I am announcing my policy pledge to Ohioans on data centers. If a data center is built in your community, then (i) you will no longer have to pay for your home’s electricity, (ii) you will pay lower property taxes, and (iii) the data center will be required to abide by all air and water quality standards without exception, and we will take the necessary steps to protect Ohio’s fertile farmland. If any one of these three conditions is not met, the data center won’t be built. Period. I will work with Ohio’s state legislature to codify these commitments into law immediately after I assume office. To ensure urgency, I will further issue an executive order on my first day in office to immediately halt the approval of any new data center project announcements in Ohio, until the above-mentioned data center legislation takes effect. These policy objectives are consistent with the principles I have articulated over the first 18 months of my campaign, and today I am making a legislative commitment to codify them into state law. Vivek also spoke of the threat that the Democratic Socialists present to our Constitutional form of government. Tune in and tell a friend.

  The Data Center Debate - The need for more transparency and local control

  Jul 28, 202627 min

  The Data Center Debate - The need for more transparency and local control Kim Georgeton, digital commerce and salesforce consulting expert, has researched the data center mania - why they are here in Ohio in the Midwest and why they are popping all over the state. Kim has been researching the concerns of residents of local communities concerning water usage, power grid usage, and why there seems to be a disregard for local citizens when it comes to the placement and construction of the new data centers. Kim wrote a letter to the EPA with the concerns from local residents, urged others to do the same, and as a result, the Ohio EPA has made an announcement that they will not be granting a blanket permit to all data centers to discharge waste coolant water from their facilities, but that each data center will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Tune in to learn more about this important issue.
