About this listen

In hour one, Michelle sits down with Dave Baker, Business Manager for Ironworkers Local 44. Dave shares stories from his years in the labor movement, offering an inside look at the skilled, demanding, and often dangerous work ironworkers perform to keep our cities standing. Together, they explore the culture of the trade, the challenges facing the industry, and why strong unions remain essential for protecting workers.

In hour two, Clayton takes a deep dive into Ohio House Bill 56, a sweeping proposal that would impose heavy regulations on legal marijuana while rolling back key civil liberties for Ohioans. He breaks down what the bill would actually do, who it would impact, and why it’s raising serious concerns among advocates. Later, Clayton examines the Cincinnati Police Department’s new drone program, weighing the potential benefits against the privacy, civil rights, and accountability questions the technology brings.
