Neil W. McCabe, the host of The Ohio Star Podcast, and the national political editor of The Star News Network, a constellation of 11 state-based news sites, which include The Ohio Star, had two guests on this episode.

Neil's first guest is Star reporter Peter D'Abrosca. Neil and Peter talked about Peter's reporting on the Ohio Republican Senate primary May 3. President Donald J. Trump endorsed J.D. Vance, which put Vance ahead of Josh Mandel ahead in the polls. But, it was not over there. The Club for Growth, supporting Mandel, unleashed TV ads criticizing Trump for his Vance endorsement, and his other endorsements.

Peter and Neil also reminisced about the end of Washington's Trump International Hotel.

Neil's next guest is Laura Mills, the attorney for former Joe Blystone co-campaign manager Sarah Chambers. Chambers filed a 51-page campaign finance complaint against Blystone in October, and now Mills is representing her as she defends herself in Blystone's defamations suit against her. Mills said the only defense in a defamation suit is the truth, so she and Chambers are proving that he did not correctly manage nor file his reports correctly--and there is also the issue of the whether Blystone is the trustee for his late wife's property. Blystone did not report that he was, but Mills explains how she is going to prove it one way or the other.

Finally, you will hear Neil's report for The Star News Network on the Supreme Court oral arguments in Kennedy v. Bremertron case. High school football coach Joe Kennedy, a Marine combat veteran, was fired after he continued to prayer on the field after the games.

Neil W. McCabe, the host of The Ohio Star Podcast, and the national political editor of The Star News Network, a constellation of 11 state-focused news sites, including The Ohio Star, had three guests in this episode.

Neil first guest was Star reporter Peter D'Abrosca about his coverage of President Joseph R. Biden's nomination of former federal prosecutor Steven M. Dettelbach to be the next director of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Peter and Neil also talked about South Carolina Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace. Mace was one of the House Republicans most critical of President Donald J. Trump, until her polls went south and Trump endorsed her primary opponent, Katie Arrington.

Neil's next guest was attorney Curt C. Hartman, whose client Mary Capella, who is suing the Ohio Elections Commission in the Ohio Supreme Court--asking the high court to order the commission to address her two election complaints against GOP gubernatorial candidate Joe Blystone.

Finally, Neil spoke to Russell Stuart, the owner of Beverly Hills Guns. Stuart just received an eviction notice from his landlord--just after his gun store received publicity as a place to go for self-defense in the middle of the city's current crime wave.

Neil W. McCabe, the host of The Ohio Star Podcast, and the national political editor of The Star News Network, a constellation of 11 state-based news sites, which include The Ohio Star, had three guests on this episode.

McCabe's first guest was Star reporter Peter D'Abrosca, who talked to him about his coverage of the Oberlin College judgement, an award of more than $30 million to Gibson's Bakery, after the school and its administration, students and faculty led protests against the fifth-generation bakery. Following the arrest of three African-American shoplifters turned in by the owners for stealing bottles of wine.

D'Abrosca and McCabe also talked about Florida Republican Gov. Ronald D. DeSantis signing the Parental Rights in Education bill into law, despite the angry oppostion from Disney.

McCabe's second guest was Tom Weyand, the senior advisor to Jim Renacci's gubernatorial campaign. Weyand told McCabe about the new Harris poll of Ohio Republicans that shows Renacci leading Gov. Mike DeWine for the GOP nomination, 46 percent to 30 percent.

Weyand also talked about the Cuyahoga County Republicans endorsing Renacci, even after their screening committee recommended they endorse DeWine, and the governor came to their meeting to make a personal appeal.

McCabe's third guest was legendary Washington reporter and editor John Solomon, the editor-in-chief of Just the News. Solomon shared with McCabe the backstory about how he began breaking stories about Ukrainian corruption, many of them involving the Biden Family, when he was a news columnist at The Hill newspaper.

Solomon said despite the criticism of his reporting, a formal editorial review of his Ukrainian columns validated them as factual.
