Trump at Davos, Ohio Salt Shortage, ICE Controversy & Drone Policing

🎙️ Salt Shortage, Snowpocalypse & Trump at Davos

Show #45 kicks off on a fun and heartfelt note as Tom wishes Robert a very happy birthday — including a story about Robert’s 15-year-old daughter drawing him a birthday card with a speedometer hitting 51 mph that read: “Wow, that was fast!” 🚗💨

And yes — she also got her temps just in time to drive in the Snowpocalypse ❄️, which is where things immediately take a sharp turn into Ohio chaos, global politics, and Washington power plays. From there, Robert and Tom dive straight into Trump’s Davos speech, healthcare policy, ICE drama in Ohio, and why nobody can find road salt when they actually need it.

🌎 Trump at Davos

Trump didn’t just show up at Davos — he took over the room. From calling out global power brokers to floating the idea of America buying Greenland, it was classic Trump: think big, go bold, and let everyone else catch up. Some people clutch their pearls when he speaks this plainly, which raises an interesting question — why? Whether you see it as genius or chaos, it’s straight out of The Art of the Deal, and it had the entire world watching.

🏥 How “Great” Is Trump’s Healthcare Plan?

The fine print matters. The administration released a document called The Great Healthcare Plan — but does it actually improve healthcare access or just rebrand old policies?

🚨 Ohio Commissioner Calls ICE & DHS “Terrorists”

That escalated quickly. A Lucas County Commissioner went on record calling ICE, DHS, and U.S. Border Patrol “terrorist organizations” — a serious accusation with massive implications. But when reporters asked him to explain or defend the claim, he suddenly went quiet. If you’re going to drop rhetoric that explosive, you should be ready to stand behind it.

🧂 Ohio’s Rock Salt Shortage

Snow everywhere. Salt nowhere. Just as Northeast Ohio got buried in snow, cities suddenly ran out of rock salt — leaving roads slick and drivers frustrated.

🗳️ Election Day Could Become a Holiday

Finally making voting easier? Ohio lawmakers are floating the idea of turning Election Day into a state holiday. Like it’s currently, it’s that hard to vote.

📹 Daycare Cameras to Stop “Fraud”?

Parents get surveillance, not answers. So… are they even investigating? Ohio Republicans are pushing for cameras in daycare classrooms to combat supposed “fraud,” yet there’s been no solid evidence presented that widespread fraud actually exists. Meanwhile, millions of taxpayer dollars are flowing out of Ohio’s childcare system, and instead of following the money, lawmakers want to put surveillance cameras on kids and teachers.

Let’s be honest — that’s not just ineffective, it’s creepy. If there’s real fraud happening, the answer isn’t turning daycares into reality TV… it’s doing a real audit and fixing the system. Ohio can do better than this.

🚁 Using Drones as First Responders

Eyes in the sky over Ohio. Police departments across Northeast Ohio are rolling out “drones as first responders” to reach emergencies faster, assess danger, and track suspects before officers even arrive on scene. On paper, it sounds futuristic — but in practice, it raises some big questions.

One of the wildest examples came out of Stark County, where deputies used a drone to track down a man who fled a crash into the woods. Efficient? Sure. But it also begs the question: Why risk a high-speed chase when you can just run a plate or let a drone do the tracking? Technology is changing policing fast — whether we’re ready or not.
